The Vinik $15-18 Billion transit tax hike and the Chuck Sykes/District Rays Candidate Hagan billion dollar stadium have officially combined into one collaborative effort.
The latest campaign filing found on the SOE website of Vinik's transit tax hike All For Transportation (AFT) PAC provides the confirmation. On July 11, Sykes donated their Vinik required $150K to the PAC.
|Sykes donates $150K to Vinik's tax hike PAC
Here is the entire list of donors to the AFT PAC available on the Hillsborough SOE website.
|AFT donors and expenditures
AFT did a faux grassroots call to action for citizens to donate $20.18 to their transit tax hike petition effort. It was an epic failure. A whopping four people responded because AFT and everyone else knew the special interest donors were their bank account.
Thomas Scherberger, who donated $250, works for Hillsborough County Clerk of the Court and is the husband of Janet Scherberger. As we reported here, Janet Scherberger works for Lopano at TIA and is a Director of the nonprofit Keep Hillsborough Moving, Inc. connected to the AFT PAC.
The highlighted five deep pocketed special interests donors who donated $150K each are connected to each other, Jeff Vinik and his [Under] Water Street development.
Sykes, Vinik and Rays President Brian Auld each pay Tampa Bay Partnership $50K a year to be a member of their pay to play lobbying organization.WSP previously known as Parsons Brinkerhoff of the Go Hillsborough debacle, Vinik's Tampa Bay Lightning and Darryl Shaw each pay Tampa Bay Partnership $25K a year to be a member of their pay to play lobbying organization. After Shaw bought up the Ybor property, he donated at least $5K to District Rays Candidate Hagan's District 2 race right before Ybor was announced as the likely site for the new stadium last year. Ybor is NOT in District 2…..
Sykes donated almost $200K and carried the financial torch for the losers – the pro rail tax hike PAC Moving Hillsborough Forward (MHF) – who spent almost $1.6 million promoting the rail tax hike in 2010. It was Hagan and his Transportation Task Force who recommended putting that massive boondoggle tax on the 2010 ballot that was defeated 58-42.
Tampa Bay Partnership with Sykes in tow created the MHF PAC and had donors contributing before the rail tax was ever even put on the ballot in May 2010. Why? Because they had assurances from then BOCC Chair Hagan that he would get the tax hike on the ballot.
Then Sykes supported Greenlight Pinellas rail tax boondoggle in 2014 that was defeated by an even greater margin 62-38 in Pinellas County.
Now Sykes has decided to play first fiddle for the BILLION dollar stadium with no parking.
|Site of Proposed Rays stadium in Ybor City with no parking
Sykes is now scheming in secrecy with the District Rays Candidate Hagan for how to bleed dry Community Redevelopment Area (CRA)/special taxing district money to publicly finance the billion dollar stadium. Since 2011, District Rays Candidate Hagan has been talking about using tax increment financing (TIF') to publicly finance a new stadium with huge amounts of debt.
CRA Boards, which can be stacked with more cronies, can pledge TIF funds to finance bonds with NO public input. CRA's, with lax accountability and transparency, can invite abuse and have been abused.
In steps Vinik last year. Indications are that the tax hike and the Ybor stadium site were probably being orchestrated at least early to mid last year. That was about the same time Vinik admitted he bailed out the Times as he needed to own his own media megaphone to push his agenda.
According to the county lobbyist registry, Vinik was meeting with County Administrator unelected county mayor Mike Merrill in May, June and December of 2017. Vinik met with Hagan on June 5, 2017.

Vinik was lobbying Hagan last year
Taxpayers have been paying for highest paid Merrill and his highest paid staff's time to be intimately involved with Hagan and the Rays – behind closed doors with no transparency – on public financing schemes scams for the billion dollar stadium.
Vinik now plays first fiddle for pursuing another 30-year massive transit sales tax hike that is worse than the rail tax defeated in 2010 (post for another day).
Now that Sykes has thrown in his obligatory $150K into Vinik's massive transit tax hike – the collaboration of cronies pursuing the Billion dollar stadium with no parking and a $15-18 Billion transit tax hike is confirmed.
It's a Package Deal! The Billion Dollar Stadium Needs Billions for Trains

An extremely rare Viking 'Thor's Hammer' amulet has been discovered in Iceland.
In a Facebook post, archaeologists explained that the sandstone amulet was found at a site in Þjórsárdalur, southern Iceland.
A local resident directed archaeologists to the site, according to the previously unexplored site, according to Iceland Magazine. The amulet, which is worn around the neck, is the first sandstone 'Thor's Hammer' discovered in Iceland.
Citing broadcaster RUV, Iceland Review reports that the site was once a Viking-era farmstead.
In addition to the amulet, other items found at the site include a "whet," which is used for sharpening blades, an iron pick and a buckle, according to Iceland Magazine.
Earlier this year, a silver "Thor's Hammer" was discovered among an incredible trove of silver treasure on an island in the Baltic Sea. Hundreds of 1,000-year-old silver coins, rings, pearls and bracelets were found on the German island of Ruegen, according to Ostsee-Zeitung.
The Icelandic "Thor's Hammer" is just the latest fascinating archaeological find from the Viking era. Archaeologists in Norway recently used ground-penetrating radar technology to discover an extremely rare Viking longship in what experts are describing as a "sensational" find.
In Sweden, an 8-year-old girl recently discovered a 1,500-year-old Viking sword in a lake.
A "treasure trove" of ancient artifacts has also been uncovered at a fort in Scotland that archaeologists believe was razed to the ground by Vikings.
Last year, an incredibly well-preserved Viking sword was found by a reindeer hunter on a remote mountain in Southern Norway. In 2016, archaeologists in Trondheim, Norway, uncovered the church where Viking King Olaf Haraldsson was first enshrined as a saint.

City manager holds Business 190 master plan meeting
Fri, 2015-07-24 05:00 News Staff
By LYNETTE SOWELL
Cove Leader-Press
In what she called the largest meeting for the Business 190 master plan so far, City Manager Andrea Gardner held a public meeting of the Business Highway 190 master plan workgroup on Tuesday afternoon. The meeting was called "Make Your Opinion Count", and in addition to sharing the draft of the Business 190 master plan, Gardner also solicited comments from those present. This meeting came on the heels of two previous public meetings which were related to the discussion of how the city will spend its $210,000 Governor's Community Achievement Award, which will begin the first phase of constructing a median on Business 190. Tuesday's meeting concerned the project as a whole, which will run from Robert Griffin III Boulevard all the way to the intersection of Business 190 and Georgetown Road. This time, Gardner had also invited two engineering firms, BSP out of Temple, and LAN Engineering, to sit in and take notes on what community members had to say. The meeting was also attended by the master plan workgroup members, which included city council and staff, along with representatives from local businesses on 190, the HOP, as well as Central Texas College. Gardner showed numerous photos of the medians in Tyler, Texas as an example of something that could be constructed in Copperas Cove, but she did stress Copperas Cove's current plan is a draft. She also talked about the reaction of the Tyler community to the median. "When (the medians) first went in, they did not like them and they did not want them. And now, what I'm hearing is they love them and appreciate them," Gardner said. "I invited engineering firms to be here. We have representatives from BSP and LAN engineering. They are taking notes, and I can assure you this is not the first time they have heard these comments. These are thriving cities. It works, or they wouldn't still have them." The proposed median in Copperas Cove will have a public transportation component built into it as well, in which buses will pull to the median for riders to board and disembark. Robert Ator, director of urban operations for the HOP, explained how the center median will work for riders, giving them only one section of the road to cross when either boarding or getting off the bus. Gardner said having the bus stops, along with the 5-foot dedicated bicycle lane and 5- to 6-foot sidewalks along both sides of the roadway, will provide increased means of safe transportation. More people are walking, bicycling, or riding motorized devices besides vehicles in Copperas Cove now, she added. A public safety concern was expressed by one resident, if the city's ladder truck will be able to make turns while trying to get to an emergency, after the median is in place. "If they can make the turn now, they will be able to do it then," responded Lt. Jeffery Stoddard, who served as the head of the Business 190 Master Plan workgroup. Aesthetics and safety, and their relationship with economic development also came up as a reason for the median. "This is an opportunity to attract new business," Gardner said. "I hear a lot, and have heard a lot, 'We would like to be in Copperas Cove but we don't want to be on 190.'" Reasons given for that decision by numerous businesses are the appearance of Business 190 and its safety, especially before the south bypass opened. Polo Enriquez, executive director of the Copperas Cove Economic Development Corporation, echoed Gardner's statement. "Aesthetics are important to investors. They're concerned about the quality of life. We have to concern ourselves with the harshness –forgive the word—that business 190 exhibits now." He later added that he has walked much of that Business 190 corridor himself, when showing business owners sites within the city that might work for their business location. Rodney Nauert, a business owner on 190, also attended, He expressed concerns again about the effect a median would have on existing businesses especially where deliveries by large trucks were concerned. He also expressed concerns that the city will have a harder time bringing new business in, along with his own concerns about putting money into one of his projects here in the community, as are other business owners. "I'm nervous about spending the money to put into that project in Copperas Cove. They're not wiling to put the funds into these proprieties because they might not be able to recoup their investments," Nauert said. He also lamented the fact that some businesses have moved to the east of town. Gardner countered that there are quite a few businesses that don't want to be on the east end at the Shops, but there's nowhere on Business 190 they want to be because of how it looks, and drainage issues. Enriquez said, "If we're going to be skittish about not investing in our community, then other investors are going to feel the same way." Business owner Robert Weidinger II said he meets with the Fort Hood Officers Wives Club regularly, and a number of them will not come to Copperas Cove because they don't feel it's "safe." When he asked them what they meant by that, he said they told him they didn't feel it was safe to drive in. "They were afraid to come. They said, 'I don't want to drive in Copperas Cove,'" he said. "Nobody wants to live in a town that's dried up and stale. You have to make it quaint before people will come. They will come and spend money. As long as my town looks good, my business will look good. My biggest problem is people don't want to come." Weidinger also spoke to the recent efforts of the Five Hills Art Guild painting a mural downtown as just one of the ways community members are stepping up to help make the city aesthetically more appealing. "It's trying to make it more quaint." He is in favor of the median because it will do the same thing to improve the community's appearance.

Community design: a collaborative approach for social integration
This paper describes a successful case of collaboration among a south-north project team, a Community Multimedia Centre (CMC), and community beneficiaries, for the design and implementation of a small-scale project to improve CMC services for the local community of Quelimane, in Mozambique. The project is part of RE-ACT, a broader scale research and development project which aimed to investigate the social meanings and understandings attributed by different stakeholders to Mozambican CMCs, and use these insights to co-design and implement CMC services with inherent relevance for the local communities. The case reported is considered the most successful of nine action research and co-design projects implemented through RE-ACT. The services designed for the Quelimane CMC can be considered a success not because of perfect alignment with initial goals but rather due to responsiveness and flexibility in the implementation approach: activities and goals were constantly revised by teams to cope with emerging challenges, while at the same time keeping a clear orientation towards set targets. The paper discusses five underlying factors thought to heighten the chances of success of action research and co-design projects involving local communities, ranging from local proactivity and initiative, to commitment to project success, and high perceived self-efficacy of local stakeholders.

Every few weeks, your elected student government meets on a Wednesday night to talk about issues concerning the AMS. Agenda items can seem long, mysterious and confusing without the proper background, making it difficult to see how these issues affect students. Here's what to watch out for in the upcoming AMS Council meeting taking place on March 1:
Student services review
Council is being asked to approve a series of 75 recommendations outlined in a comprehensive review of all the services the AMS offers. In addition to requiring a services review every three years, the report suggests that future reviews be carried out by someone reporting to the AMS president. Furthermore, there are a series of measures to increase AMS Service's accountability to AMS Council. The report also recommends that Volunteer Avenue cease to exist as a service, citing strong overlap with the Centre for Student Involvement & Careers.
Ad hoc committee on constituency relations
Having received a presentation from the committee chair a few weeks back, AMS Council will be considering recommendations to refine its relationship with constituencies. Of the 12 recommendations, there are some that stand out as large changes for the AMS. The committee is recommending that an AMS President's Council, composed of the AMS and constituency presidents, meet every month. Also being suggested is the standardization of election dates across constituencies so that all elections occur at once. All approved recommendations will need to be completed by November 2017.
The AMS is currently undergoing its annual elections! Voting takes place from March 6–10, with debates and other events taking place these next two weeks. To find out more and to vote, visit the AMS election page.
Ian Sapollnik is a third-year economics student, a member of the UBC Vancouver Senate and a member of AMS Council. The views presented are his own.

Major Turning Point
I do believe we are witnessing a major turning point in world equities markets with commodities soon to follow. Below is the chart of the Hang Seng index. That looks like an island reversal, confirmed by last nights session in Hong Kong where the Hang Seng was down a massive 5%, over 1500 points. At the largest scale, the world has witnessed a dramatic reversal of political freedoms in many areas. Russia is returning to an autocratic form of government, China still is, Latin America has turned dramatically left, coups in Thailand along with uncertainty and chaos in Pakistan. This plays off against the historic transformation of Asia where hundreds of millions of people are becoming consumers for the first time and the global rationalization of labor markets, which has kept the prices of goods low and raised productivity globally. Zooming the scale into the more immediate, the employment report on friday was lipstick on a pig. Looks cute, but when you look more closely, it masked weakness. If we have a sharp downturn here, it will affect the ROW, talking heads notwithstanding. This will infect China, with whom we have a symbiotic relationship, negatively. Demand at the margin, where prices are made, will diminish for commodities for awhile and prices will retreat. The upside objective for Crude of $100 has nearly been met. Will it push a few dollars higher? Maybe. But I believe the odds are that it is time to start becoming bearish generally. Probably 70-30.

Children living in Chattanooga's poorest neighborhoods will get an education strong enough to get a career and break out of poverty if Hamilton County Schools and the Community Foundation succeed in a plan to make all children academically successful.
"Educational attainment is directly related to income," said David Eichenthal, president and CEO of the Ochs Center.
The Ochs Center, the schools, the Chattanooga Housing Authority and the Community Foundation are joining forces to apply for a Promise Neighborhood program grant.
Hundreds will apply, said Pete Cooper, president of the Community Foundation. President Barack Obama is only awarding 20.
The local groups presented information about the grant at a meeting at Hardy Elementary School on Thursday.
Hardy will be where the Chattanooga Promise Neighborhood starts. If it is successful, the program will encompass all 11,000 children living from the Tennessee River to Missionary Ridge, the area of the city with the highest concentration of poverty.
The grant is based on the Harlem Children's Zone model for getting children out of poverty. The program has been so successful in narrowing the gap between black and white achievement that President Obama has set aside $10 million to fund planning grants to copy it.
For the seventh year in a row, 100 percent of Harlem prekindergartners were assessed to be school-ready when they started kindergarten. And 100 percent of Harlem third-graders attending the program's charter schools were at grade level or above on the statewide math exam, according to the Harlem Children's Zone website.
Chattanooga is seeking a $500,000 planning grant to start the program. The application deadline is June 25. Local officials will know if they got it in September, Mr. Eichenthal said.
Nonprofit leaders and Hamilton County representatives say they will continue working on a plan to improve the quality of education for people living in the area even if the grant is not approved.
The plan probably will differ from Harlem's in that it would have to be more self-sustaining, Mr. Cooper said. Harlem's plan is funded by big contributions from Wall Street brokers, and Mr. Cooper said that amount of money may not be as available in Chattanooga.
The crucial component is parental and community involvement, Mr. Cooper said.
After Mr. Eichenthal asked for a show of hands less than a third of the people attending the meeting said they were parents.
"Some are not off from work. Some just couldn't make it and some are not interested," said Rodney Cameron, parent of a student attending public schools and associate minister at Wesley Chapel.
He said he attended the event because he wanted to know more about how to help people in his congregation.
Most people attending the meeting were people interested in providing programs or those who already provide programs, according to the show of hands.
Carla Sewell, a parent of a child in public schools and a Hamilton County Social Services employee, said the meeting gave parents and community members an opportunity to hear what's going on in their community and to offer input. She said if organizers keep stressing that they want to hear from residents and parents, parents will eventually come.

One year ago, I was a few weeks away from launching a church I was planting. And I was a few weeks away from my wedding. And, little did I know. I was also a few weeks away from canceling that church plant and instead, having to make the decision to close it.
I had been working on this parachute church plant for a little over a year and was becoming more aware that a thriving and healthy plant was not going to happen. At that time, I had been approached by a mega-church a few states away to candidate for their lead pastor position. All while I was in the final weeks of my wedding preparations. It was a hectic season.
My (now) husband and I met online and dated long distance. So just a couple of months before, he had moved to Michigan to be closer to me leading into the wedding. So, we were adjusting to life in the same state at the same time that this was all happening.
A few days before the wedding, I made the difficult call to close the church plant. While on our honeymoon, I found out that I was the second choice for the lead pastor role. When we arrived home from our honeymoon, it settled in that neither of us had jobs, or any plan now that we weren't moving forward with the plant. Great way to start a marriage, right?
So, my new husband and I started prayerfully exploring where God might lead us. And, we began candidating across the country. I'm a preacher/pastor and my husband is a worship pastor. Frankly, we're a pretty 'marketable' couple. Or, so we were told.
No Place Like Home
Over the next several months, we would travel for interviews for one or both of us across the country. We would get excited about the possibility of finally knowing our next step. But, for whatever reason, at each stop, God seems to close each door.
In the midst of this, we listed our home for sale thinking that it would take some time to sell. Five days later, we were scheduling our closing! So, we suddenly found ourselves unemployed and homeless. So, we put our stuff in storage and moved and hour away into my parents basement.
Again, great way to start a marriage? Um. No. But, we stayed there for nearly three months as we continued to search for where God would lead us.
Finally, He led us to a place that made no sense. Frankly, I don't know why my husband even put in an application, other than we were getting more frustrated at our situation by the day.
But, God made it clear that He was leading us to where we now live and serve. A small town in Oklahoma. Far away from both of our families and friends. At a ministry job for only him.
Again. It makes no sense.
Do you know what it's like to sit back each week and watch other people do the thing that you know that you're called to? Preaching makes my heart come alive more than anything else. I love it. When I preach, I know I am truly doing what God has called me too.
But, the job was just for him. God made it clear, though. So, we moved.
Settling In, Or Not.
There was a kind lady in the church that allowed us to stay with here when we first arrived. So, we moved into her pool house for about 8 weeks. And, we moved our stuff into another storage unit.
We finally were able to purchase our home, get our stuff out of storage and settle in. Or, so we thought.
We had the home and we had our stuff. But those things aren't what make you feel at home.
It's now (at the time I write this) been 3 months of living in our home. I hate to say it, but we still don't feel settled. If you've ever made a big move, you know it takes a long time to make new friends and memories in a space. Those are the things that really make you feel at home. It takes more than a building with things in it.
Slowly. Very slowly. We're building memories and making friends. And we both believe that there will come a time, in the not too far off future, where we really feel at home here.
And, we believe there will come a time when God's leading us here will make sense. Although It doesn't yet. Especially in my selfish and fleshly eyes.
All of my seminary training. And all of my passion and giftedness to preach. All of my ministry experience. What could God be doing? Don't get me wrong, I find other ways to use my gifts. But, sometimes, it still leaves me longing. And sometimes, I still find myself mourning the close of the church plant. And sometimes, I find myself crying out to God with curiosity, frustration, hurt and wonder.
The Hardest Year Of My Life.
But, there are so many things I have learned, and things that I have yet to learn.
While don't know what God has yet to form within me, let me share a few of the things that God has been teaching me.
God is Faithful.
Even when I don't see it, and I have now idea what He is doing, I have continued to find Him to be faithful, full of mercy, slow to anger, filled with compassion.
When I have wandered or when my eyes have flooded over with tears, He has been there. He is steadfast and He is true to His word. Maybe most amazingly, He has seen the tears I've cried and He feels my pain.
You may need that reminder today. After a long week, or a long year, or a long life… God is with you. One of His names, Emmanuel means "God with us". He came to earth to be with you. He sent His Spirit to be with you. Even now, He is pursuing you with His love.
That's humbling.
The God who made it all and who sustains it all is in love with you!
Be encouraged. Even when you feel alone, worn out, lost… You have Him.
God is True to His Word
I wrestled with the call to preach for a long time. I knew as a child that God had called me to preach, but I was terrified. And I hadn't seen female preachers. And I didn't know where to begin. But, overtime, I began to accept and embrace it.
For me, however, there were times when I misplaced my identity and found it in the thing He had called me to rather than in Him. That was never His intent. God's purpose for you will never replace God's presence with you. I had elevated His purpose to a place that it didn't belong.
So, for God to lead us to a place where I'm not only not preaching, but not in local church ministry, there have been moments when I've felt lost. There have been moments where I've wondered if God changed His mind, or if He was punishing me for misplacing my identity.
Friend. That's not how God works. That's not his nature. He doesn't play games with us or toss our emotions around to teach us a lesson. He's not vindictive or spiteful.
Not only that, God is true to His word. If He has spoken a dream, vision or calling into your heart, He will bring it to fruition. The timing may be different than you expect. It might look different than you've anticipated. But God does the things He says He will.
You don't need to worry about bringing about the things He's spoken to you. You need to receive them in faith and act in obedience. Friend, you don't fulfill His promises. He fulfills His promises.
But here's the truth… His promises are not better than His presence. His presence is everything. It's His presence that changes us, reveals the places in our hearts that need to be shaped, challenged and remade. When we spend time with Him, He calls us to deeper surrender.
You worry about getting in His presence, and He'll take care of the promises.
God is Working
Our God is the One who creates where there is nothing and speaks order into chaos. And, He is the one who speaks to the raging storm and it is stilled. He is the God who has promised to never leave or forsake His Children. And He is the God who meets us in the middle of the mess of our lives.
He doesn't miss the fact that you're hurting. He sees the longing of your heart. And He will calm the storm. Again, it might not be in the timing you hope for. Nor, will it likely be in the way you hope for. But, is with you in the midst of it.
Here is the other incredible thing. In the middle of the storm, He will teach you and shape you. In the end, if you remain submitted to Him, with your heart turned toward Him, He will stretch you and shape you and cause you to grow. He will use the present suffering, pain, longing, in order to draw you closer to Him and conform you to the image of Jesus Christ.
While none of us want to ask for a hard year, scripture tells us clearly to expect it and even rejoice in it when it comes. Because through it, we know God will be at work. Isn't that what we all want? We want God to be glorified in our lives, for us to be conformed to the image of Christ.
May God be Glorified
Even as I write this, I am still learning so much. And, as I write this, my heart still aches and my mind still wonders. However, I chose to submit to God's call to this place and wait on Him each day.
When I do, I know that He is glorified. Moreover, I also wonder what will be on the other side of my submission to Him.
I simply don't know yet. So, I wait. I trust. And I chose each day to submit to what He calls me to that day.
Throughout life, there are seasons of life and death. Joy and pain. Longing and fulfillment. This season is hard. But there will come a point when this season transitions to the next. But, throughout every season, I'm called to be obedient.
So, whatever you're going through, I pray that you accept that call; obedience to God today.

I am building a Cutter. Wondering if it is worth it to shoehorn in a limpet controller before I finish engineering it?
I believe Tgarg hearts to be of great importance to Relspi in particular!Materials dropping from Interceptors are the only way to get components for synthesis of AX/Enzyme Munitions.
It's also the only way to get a Thargoid Heart, if that's important to you.

There are many Latin phrases that are prominent in our language and given the fact that a large part of my job (really any job for that matter) is grounded on relationship building and partnership strengthening, it comes as no surprise that I am hearing "Quid pro Quo" more than ever. I am not complaining, merely actively observing the world in which I live. As a refresher, here's the definition:
Quid pro quo ("something for something" in Latin) means an exchange of goods or services, where one transfer is contingent upon the other.
I have never been one who keeps track of such exchanges and spending my entire adult life to date in the Navy has sheltered me from the business world where tangible exchanges of goods, services, or money is foundational. Instead, I continue to enjoy the luxury of focusing on serving (with) others and delivering value irrespective of compensation. Instead, we are compensated by the sense of satisfaction that comes with serving others and being a part of something that is far bigger than we are. Last week, we were running a little ahead of schedule to an event in downtown San Antonio, so we stopped at "The Alamo" to pay our respects. Because this was work related we were in uniform and given the season we were wearing our summer white uniform, which basically screams to the world, "Hey look at me!" Many people walked up to me to shake my hand and thank me for my service. Unlike decades ago when our service members were greeted very differently, we get this a lot and such gratitude never gets old. As usual, I merely responded with a "Thank you and serving is my pleasure." Might sound cheesy, but it's a genuine response and I have trouble being anything but that.
A feeling of service is not limited to people in uniform, as there are many from all walks of life who serve. Those who serve share a philosophy that doesn't necessarily measure compensation, but when we choose to assess our compensation we measure it very differently. I like to think we identify as "Quids." We give without expecting a "Quo." Each time I hear this Latin phrase that communicates a transactional relationship, a "tit for tat", and an expectation of something tangible in return, I find that it minimizes the partnership. If we feel compelled to keep score, why not focus entirely on the quids? Why not measure our value purely on what we give without regard to what we get? Over time, if we slip and start to keep a ledger, I am willing to bet that the credits will far outnumber the debits, especially when you account for the intangibles in life that represent the greatest value…relationships, happiness, and opportunities to say "you are welcome."
There are plenty of takers in this world and there are many others who are careful to ensure their quids result in a quo. As for me and the people with whom I choose to spend my time with, we don't fall into either category. We are "Quids!"
- Do you give merely to receive?
- What do you consider a Quo?
- Are you a Quid?

Get detailed COVID-19 impact analysis on the Penicillin MarketRequest Now !
Penicillin is one of the most widely used antibiotic agents derived from Penicillium mold and used against several bacterial infection treatments. Their mechanism of action includes killing the bacteria by bursting their cell wall or by inhibiting their growth. Various kinds of penicillin are available to treat different kinds of infections, each one is specific for one kind of bacteria. Presently they are the most commonly used antibiotics, due to their diversity in usage against different types of bacteria. Penicillin drugs are used in the treatment of diseases such as throat infections, meningitis, and others.
Increase in prevalence of contagious diseases and rise in investments for R&D are the key factors that drive the growth of the global penicillin market. In addition, upsurge in demand for generic drugs is anticipated to fuel the market growth. However, stringent government regulations to limit the use of antibiotics and patent expiry for these antibiotic manufacturing are major factors that restrain the market growth. Moreover, rise in antimicrobial resistance of microbes and introduction of novel antibiotics with lesser side effects hamper the growth of the market. Conversely, new product development and usage of penicillin in cell cultures as a potent antibacterial agent are expected to provide potential opportunities for market expansion.
The global penicillin market is segmented on the basis of product, type, manufacturing process, mode of delivery, and end user. By product, the market is bifurcated into bulk and dosage. Based on type, it is categorized into aminopenicillin, antipseudomonal penicillin, beta-lactamase inhibitor, natural penicillin, and penicillinase-resistant penicillin. According to manufacturing process, it is divided into synthetic process, natural process, and semisynthetic process. Depending on mode of delivery, it is classified into oral, intramuscular, intravenous. As per end user, it is fragmented into hospitals, clinics, research institutes, and others. Region wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Sooo, the Canonet … I thought this was going to be a simple fix. Camera shutter did not fire. My guess, gummed up shutter blades.
I have now taken most of the camera apart.
I will start with the easy part … cleaning the view/rangefinder.
- Screw drivers
- Q-tips
- Rubber ring grip thing-a-mabobs
Unscrew the rewind knob, by opening the back and jamming the spool with a chopstick …
Get your rubber thing (no, that one) and get a grip on the shutter button ring to unscrew it.
See, this is what the rubber thing I mean actually looks like but I cannot actually name at this moment.
Note the brash washers underneath the winder arm.
Remove the three screws holding the top plate on.
Pull off top cover.
To access the viewfinder you need to take off the black cover plate.
The brown thing on the right is the galvanometer for the light sensor. There is a shellacked screw in the center … you can adjust this if your meter is off, or bend the indicator arm.
When cleaning, be aware of the arm that shows the aperture setting … do not bend it out of shape.
This particular camera had a problem where it did not release the shutter. I did actually start by looking at the shutter, then realized the problem was (Saint) elsewhere.
I figured out that when the shutter button was depressed (yes, they do get very sad after not been touched for a very long time) it did not move the release arm enough. I think that over time the metal starts to wear down from friction.
It appears from the design, that Canon figured out that this would happen … so they made the part in a cone shape on an adjustable screw.
When the bolt is released, the cone can be adjusted up or down … in my case it needed to be lowered to add more horizontal movement to the arm.
Great, now the shutter button works … and the viewfinder and rangefinder are cleaner.
I will get to the other parts … when I get finished with the other parts … this is just 1 of 3.

TRUE INTERPRETATIONS by Stephen Davies Could conflicting interpretations of a literary work be equally true? Bodi Monroe C. Beardsley and Joseph Margolis assumed fhis to be impossible in their famous debate about the relationship between the multiplicity of interpretations of literary works and the assessment of such interpretations for truth.1 The assumption was implicit in the first premise of the following argument. Although they disagreed about the argument's soundness, they did agree about the truth of this premise. The argument goes like this: (1)No work of literature can be interpreted truly both as p and not-p (nor as both p and q where p and q are contraries). (2)Many a work of literature admits of equally plausible/convincing/ revealing but contradictory or contrary interpretations; so (3)Interpretations of works of literature cannot be assessed for truth (nor can they be assessed for falsity). This argument is an important one for, ifit is accepted, it entails that literary criticism and analysis are not deductively based. The use of deduction in practical (as opposed merely to formal) reasoning is possible only where the premises and conclusion might be assessed for truth. Margolis accepts the soundness of this argument, but Beardsley does not. Both accept that the premises of the argument are true. Because Beardsley believes that the conclusion is false, he believes that the argument must be invalid. (Beardsley thinks that the appropriate con290 Stephen Davies291 elusion to draw is that sometimes we cannot discover which of several conflicting interpretations is the true and correct reading.) Margolis believes that the argument is valid and, hence, that the conclusion is proved. The disagreement between them centers on the role of the second premise in generating the conclusion. Beardsley argues that the only test for "plausibility" or "convincingness " or "revealingness" is truth. How could an interpretation be plausible except by being plausibly true? On the (inadequate) evidence available , two interpretations might be equally plausible, but that is to say that, on the given evidence, their truth is equally probable. This means only that there is no way of settling which of them is true and that, under the condition of ignorance which obtains, we are in no position to judge which of them is true. It does not show that interpretations cannot be assessed for truth, although it does show that the matter of their truth might not be satisfactorily determinable. So, according to Beardsley, the conclusion does not follow from the premises: "I hold that all of the literary interpretations that deserve the name obey [the principle of 'the Intolerability of Incompatibles']. But of course I do not wish to deny that there are cases of ambiguity where no interpretation can be established over its rivals; nor do I wish to deny that there are many cases where we cannot be sure that we have the correct interpretation." 2 Margolis's reply might be developed as follows: where two interpretations are equally consistent with the text, it would make sense to claim that one of them is true and the other false only if there might be some further evidence, as yet unconsidered, which could settle the matter. But, in the case ofmany conflicting and equally plausible interpretations of literary works, all the evidence that there could be is in; there is no further (hidden) evidence to be appealed to. So there is no truth ofthe matter. The judgment that the interpretations are equally plausible is not equivalent to a decision to suspendjudgment for the lack ofdecisive evidence, but, rather, a recognition that all the relevant evidence underdetermines questions of truth. Thus, there can be no right, no true, interpretation and, accordingly, in being tested for revealingness or whatever, interpretations are not being tested for truth. Margolis concludes : The relativistic theory ofinterpretation is sometimes resisted because one wishes to avoid the somewhat unfortunate habit of speaking ofart's being inherendy incomplete or defective and awaiting the interpretive critic's 292Philosophy and Literature contribution in order actually tofinish the work. What is initially defective or incomplete, of course, is our understanding, not the work; but the nature of the defect is such mat, for conceptual reasons, we cannot be...

Over 16 Million People in Thailand Suffer from Obesity
THAILAND – The Public Health Ministry has made known that around 16 million people in Thailand are considered overweight and the figure is set to rise.
The ministry said the risk for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) would continue to rise, which would also contribute to an increase a person's body mass index (BMI). Obesity is a major risk for diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and a number of cancers.
In addition, obesity has been linked to an early onset of osteoarthritis and other joint diseases, as it leads to degeneration of the articular cartilage and bones. Osteoarthritis is usually a prevalent symptomatic health problem for older individuals.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 3.4 million adults die each year as a result of being overweight or obese. By next year, 2.3 billion people around the world will become overweight. In Thailand, there are 11.3 million obese women, or twice as many as obese men.
The ministry has urged members of the public to increase the consumption of fruit and vegetables, as well as engaging in regular physical activity. In 2011, it was found that only 15 million Thai people aged 11 and over exercise or play sports, which accounts for only 26 percent of the overall population.

Teletubbies: Tubby Snowball Christmas DVD [ review]
Teletubbies Tubby SnowBall We were recently sent the new Teletubbies: Tubby Snowball Christmas DVD to review. As expected arrives safe and unbroken when opening the package monkeys eyes lit up and let a shriek out in delight when setting her eyes on the cover. Monkey is non-verbal and says few words, so to see her facial expressions light up was reassuring to know she wanted Teletubbies on there and then, well, 1 hour and 12 mins later of ahh and little giggles from time to time and oh ooh to noo-noo she loves noo-noo we have purchased a Hoover for her birthday as when she see it advertised on television she would go mad screaming at the screen. Pointing with excitement. She hasn't been very well with hand foot and mouth, so thankfully this review came at a fantastic timing. She enjoyed watching it thoroughly and even mimicked some of the movements the Teletubbies did, the blowing of horn and sucking noises noo-noo makes. Reassuring to know 10 years after Kk was born Teletubbies still can mesmerise little ones with their baby in the sun, "ahhhhh" monkey says while patting her tummy as if to say (ah baby). Teletubbies: Tubby Snowball Features six new episodes Out on DVD October 31 Synopsis It's a cold day in Teletubby land and snow falls in the Teletubbies! Join Tinky Winky, Dipsy Laa-Laa and Po as they find big snowballs, dance with a snowman and watch the children make a caterpillar one out of snow. Contains six brand-new episodes including 'snowball'. Bonus features include We wish you a Merry Christmas Behind the scenes for grown-ups: building the set I think this is a very endearing DVD set to keep your little people amused and have that quiet time for an hour or six- if your child like monkey likes repeatedly watching over and over. It will keep them quiet, occupied and educational value.]]>

This note on this one just says "Of David". We've come across a few others that do that. Again, it could mean a few things; he could have written it himself, it could be written about him or it could just use an instrument or tune that he wrote.
1To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul.
2O my God, in you I trust;
let me not be put to shame;
let not my enemies exult over me.
3Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame;
they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.
4Make me to know your ways, O LORD;
teach me your paths.
5Lead me in your truth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all the day long.
6Remember your mercy, O LORD, and your steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.
7Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
for the sake of your goodness, O LORD!
8Good and upright is the LORD;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
9He leads the humble in what is right,
and teaches the humble his way.
10All the paths of the LORD are steadfast love and faithfulness,
for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11For your name's sake, O LORD,
pardon my guilt, for it is great.
12Who is the man who fears the LORD?
Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose.
13His soul shall abide in well-being,
and his offspring shall inherit the land.
14The friendshipb of the LORD is for those who fear him,
and he makes known to them his covenant.
15My eyes are ever toward the LORD,
for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
16Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
17The troubles of my heart are enlarged;
bring me out of my distresses.
18Consider my affliction and my trouble,
and forgive all my sins.
19Consider how many are my foes,
and with what violent hatred they hate me.
20Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me!
Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
21May integrity and uprightness preserve me,
for I wait for you.
22Redeem Israel, O God,
out of all his troubles.
Here again we have a psalm that more prayer than song, I feel. It praises and worships and makes requests. It reminds God of the devotion of the writer while asking that it be reciprocated with the exact things the writer wants from God. It's among the more relatable psalms that I've seen so far, offering trust but not necessarily absolute confidence. Mostly it seems that the writer wants God to do good things with his life and to lead him to those things, sure that he wouldn't find them on his own.
I especially like verse 7, which is a sentiment that most of us feel to not just God, but everyone who knew us as adolescents and children. I love the way it goes from there into a few verses of acknowledgement of the things God does and then on to the requests of the writer. Verses 16 to 18 sound to me like a piece that could be added into daily prayer. It's simple and includes a lot of troubles while staying concise. Mostly, it just doesn't ask for absolute and finite things. Those are the prayers that get us into trouble, I feel. This one leaves room for the way it is done to not be obvious to the receiver of such a gift, but the kind of gift that we only really see in the rear view. It's leading the Israelites away from Egypt, the only place they had ever known at that point, and out into an unforgiving desert for them to find their home. There's time to get lost in the middle, not because God wants us to lose our way, but there must be faith and trust for any long term endeavor to pan out. Without that, they ended up banned from seeing the promised land, wandering far longer than originally intended.
Instead, verse 16 to 18 leave open the possibility of wandering in the desert but feeling assured that they were brought out of the place of their distress and being lead to someplace better. Maybe that's just how I read it. I just love that piece. I also appreciate the request for "integrity and uprightness" to "preserve" the writer. I think we could all use an abundance of integrity and uprightness, religious believer or not.
This one is definitely a favorite.

TIS provided an innovative PA system comprising of 800 speakers, along with a total of 69 automatic door operators for the Moorfoot building and a large office space, which is now occupied by City Council staff. With hundreds of Sheffield City Council staff employed at the building, coupled with public access, safety and security is of paramount importance.
The new system allows public address announcements to be made either throughout the building and adjoining car park, with the added benefit of zonal broadcasts to individual areas and departments.
The building has recently been subject to a multi-million pound refurbishment and now provides upgraded workspace for hundreds of Sheffield City Council employees. Based around three wings; the East Wing, the West Wing and the North Wing, the building was designed to allow pedestrian access 'through' the building.
Daniel Cook, Sales and Design Consultant at TIS, said: "We are delighted to have worked with Sheffield City Council again especially on such a high profile project. The project to install 800 speakers over 57 zones and 69 sets of doors is one of the largest systems of this nature that TIS have ever undertaken and demonstrates our breadth of experience across all aspects of the industry."
James Payton-Greene, Project Manager from Sheffield City Council said: "We have worked with TIS for a few years and the expertise they provide, with understanding the issues and the knowledge they have of the site was invaluable. The site-wide quality of the PA system announcements are now vastly improved due to the speaker and amplifier technology utilized. In addition to this the 57 separate zones allow for departmental announcements if required". James added "Although the recently replaced access control has been a huge success the addition of the door automation has greatly improved the use of the building for users with mobility issues".

Mom and Dad brought me to Mexico! We spent a lot of time sitting on the beach and sticking our feet (okay, whole bodies) in the ocean.
I loved it. I even started crawling into the ocean on my own! But the best was the floaty that I could sit in a ride around in the water. I giggled and kicked!
There are a lot more pictures to come, I'll bug Mom to get them posted soon.

Turbus Veminius looked after her.
Turbus Veminius looked after her. He, like many perfumers, and hairdressers and cosmeticians, treated his female clientele almost as though they were slave girls. Indeed, he was famous for once having said, "They are all slave girls." Yet, in spite of the gruff, authoritarian way in which they might be handled, and the rude, peremptory fashion in which they might be addressed, women, and high-caste women, for no reason that was clear to me, flocked to his shop.

The Challenge
Wave energy faces two critical challenges:
1. Delivering cost effective energy
2. Surviving harsh storms
The Next Generation of Wave Energy
Conventional wave energy converters have focused on extracting power from the oceans surface. These converters must be engineered to survive the harshest ocean storms, increasing design complexity and capital costs.
More than 80% of wave energy is accessible 10 meters below the surface. This has created an opportunity for a low cost, high power wave energy converter to operate on the sea floor.
The Solution
Bombora's mWave harnesses the vast potential of wave energy in the form of pressure on the sea floor. This greatly reduces the risks associated with surviving extreme storms and enables a simpler and more cost effective design.
How we're different
Invisible – More power in more places
The mWave operates well below the water's surface, deep enough for most recreational vessels to freely travel over. The mWave can be placed in many more locations than conventional surface wave energy converters. This enables more converters to produce more power closer to where the energy is needed.
Productive – Instant response = maximum energy harvest
The mWave's lightweight membrane is highly responsive to the full range of wave periods and wave heights enabling it to produce more power in a greater range of sea conditions. The mWave utilises pumped air to harness wave energy, maximising energy extraction in all types of waves. This is a significant advantage over other wave energy converter designs.
Reliable – No external parts
The mWave has no exposed moving parts. Our robust rubber membrane extracts power simply without complex mechanisms greatly reducing maintenance requirements. Our replaceable modular design streamlines maintenance, minimising downtime and maximising power output.
Intelligant – Active storm survival modes
Operating on the sea floor provides inherent protection during extreme storm events. The resilient mWave converter also has the unique ability to shut down in extreme storm events. Deflating the mWave of air allows the converter to be progressively detuned to safely extract power or completely shut down. Limiting the loads reduces capital costs and improves the all important cost of electricity.
The Technology
How it Works
The mWave features a series of air-inflated rubber membranes mounted to a concrete structure on the sea floor, all arranged at an angle to the incoming waves. As waves pass over the mWave air inside the membranes is squeezed into a duct and through a turbine. The turbine spins a generator to produce electricity. The air is then recycled to reinflate the membranes ready for the next wave.
The Membrane Pump
The inflatable rubber membrane covers a concave cell creating an air filled volume. As a wave passes overhead air is pumped out of the cell. The cell is refilled once the wave has passed. The flexible membrane is made from reinforced industrial grade rubber. Similar materials are already used in a range of marine applications with good performance and durability.
Turbine and Generator
Air delivery from the membrane pump into the delivery duct is controlled by check valves to create one-way air flow. Air is delivered into a unidirectional flow turbine improving energy extraction and efficiency. A variable-speed generator converts this rotation directly into electricity.
Power to the Grid
Electricity from the generator is transferred to the shore via a sub-sea cable. Following a process of power conditioning the electricity is delivered into the local grid.

Weather Forecast April 15: After dry days, Mumbaikars may finally see some rains
New Delhi, Apr 14: Let us have a look at the weather forecast for Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai and Rajasthan on April 15.
Wind discontinuity is running from North Interior Karnataka to Comorin area across South Interior Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. There has been no respite from the scorching summer heat in Bengaluru. The city temperature, has been rising since late February, and it shows no sign of receding. Bengaluru will not see weather activities as these rain and thundershowers will remain confined to North Interior Karnataka and the adjoining parts of Kerala. Maximums will not see much of a difference and will continue to remain on the higher side while minimums may see a drop.
Dry and hot weather conditions with moderate winds have been prevailing over Delhi and its nearby areas such as Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad and Ghaziabad. The sky conditions remain almost clear with pollution levels in moderate to poor category in spite of moderate winds. As per Skymet weather, dry and hot weather conditions will persist over Delhi and NCR during the next 48 hours. Thus, in the wake of dry and hot weather, both day and night temperatures are also expected to rise over the National Capital Region.
The city of Mumbai has been seeing dry weather conditions for the past few months. However, April 15 and 16 are all set to see some rains over the city of Mumbai. These weather activities have been attributed to the cyclonic circulation that was persisting over South Madhya Maharashtra and a trough was extending from West Madhya Pradesh to Karnataka across parts of Maharashtra. As per Skymet weather, the financial capital of our country, Mumbai may also receive few spells of rain and thundershowers during this period. By April 17, rains will start decreasing as the weather systems will move away eastwards.
The state of Rajasthan has been seeing on and off dust storm activities with isolated rainfall for the past two to three days. The Cyclonic Circulation which was persisting has weakened due to which no significant weather activity will be observed on April 13 and 14. As per Skymet weather, by April 15, a fresh Western Disturbance is expected to approach the Western Himalayas which will induce a Cyclonic Circulation over western parts of Rajasthan. Thus, weather activities may begin on April 15.

Lukaku hits out at 'lies' amid Man Utd exit talk
Romelu Lukaku has hit out at the "lies" being spread about him as speculation builds regarding a possible transfer away from Manchester United.
The Red Devils invested £75 million ($96m) in the Belgium international back in the summer of 2017.
Jose Mourinho moved to prise him away from Everton after seeing the 25-year-old become one of the most prolific strikers in the Premier League.
Editors' Picks
- Henderson's heroics highlight Man Utd's lack of depth in attack
- Eriksen the outcast: Vidal's Inter reunion with Conte a disaster for former Spurs star
- Man City and Guardiola pass key test and show the stomach for the Premier League fight
- Who's panicking now? Thiago, Jota and Mane have Liverpool's critics thinking again
He delivered a 27-goal return in his debut season at Old Trafford, before going on to net four times for his country at the 2018 World Cup.
Lukaku was, however, to endure a slow start to the current campaign, going 12 games without finding the target for United at one stage.
As he toiled, Mourinho was eventually shown to the exits and replaced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The new man at the helm is yet to hand Lukaku a Premier League start, with a substitute role having to be accepted as Marcus Rashford shines in a central striking berth.
A lack of minutes has sparked talk of a move being made, with Juventus among those said to be open to the idea of landing a proven frontman.
Lukaku, though, appears to have quashed the exit talk with a post on Instagram which read: "When the hate don't work they start telling lies."
Solskjaer has already sought to assure Lukaku that he still has a part to play in his plans.
The Norwegian knows all about life in a star-studded squad at Old Trafford from his own playing days.
He often had to contend with being an impact option off the bench, and thrived under Sir Alex Ferguson to establish a reputation as one of the best in the business in that role.
Lukaku may have to do likewise, but has impressed enough in training to suggest that he will get regular opportunities to impress.
Solskjaer said: "I used to be one of four strikers when we played with two. Now we have six forwards and we play with three.
"There are enough games. It is about taking your chances when you get them.
"No-one is scoring as many as Romelu in training."
Despite starting just one FA Cup game under the Red Devils' new boss, Lukaku has managed three goals in his last five appearances.
More chances will come his way, but for now Rashford is leading the line with Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial offering support from wide attacking posts.

In looking more into my core essay idea of 'locality as material & process' I have been investigating weaving techniques and materials which are completely rooted within their local cultures and history. This has brought me to the beautiful art of Japanese Bamboo Basketry. Fundamentally, I think it is the simplicity of material and elegance of form which attracts me to this most of all – and I would like to take some of my inspiration into my wheat weaving work.
This history of bamboo basketry as a craft (as as a modern fine art discipline) isn't as well known worldwide as some of the other specifically Japanese craft traditions. Bamboo is native to Japan (as well as China, South Asia and parts of Africa and South America) and there are apparently 600 different varieties in Japan – 40% of which are to be found on Kyushu. It is incredibly fast-growing and and although very resilient, can be split into very fine strips along the vertical length of the bamboo. As with willow basketry in England, the origins of the craft were in utilitarian containers made and used locally. Baskets dating back to the 700's have been used to hold flowers scattered during Buddhist ceremonies. From the late 1600s to the early 1900s, bamboo baskets expressing a "uniquely Japanese aesthetic" were made by high-level bamboo artists as flower baskets for the sencha tea ceremony.
In the 1950's and 60's bamboo artists began exploring more sculptural and non-functional means of artistic expression using bamboo as their material. This opened the doors to a wave of contemporary bamboo basketry and a new fine art tradition within Japan. There is a strong heritage of artistic lineages (passing from father to son and so on) in bamboo art, and a range of amazing work which coves everything from Meiji, modern and contemporary functional baskets and art pieces. I can do this range no justice in summary – so see the book refs below if you want to know more. However, I have picked out a few artists whose work I find really inspirational for my own practice.
Honma Kazuaki
Breath, 1968
Overflowing, 1973
Torii Ippo
Flight, 2003 (Photo from Museum for Fine Arts, Boston)
Ueno Maseo
Synchronizing ripple, 2015
Honda Shoryu
Galaxy (Seiun), 2001
In summary, what I like most in all of these works is:
- the strong sense of continuous lines
- simplicity of material – often only bamboo, or bamboo with rattan for knotting and tying.
- it is clear to see the inherent nature of the weaving material explicitly within the structure itself
- there is a balance of energy and freedom with the tight control of the weaving process – many layers of entropy co-existing
- these baskets couldn't be made of anything else – they exist because of the material they are made from
