How do party leaders manage Congress? Congress (specifically, the U.S. Houseof Representatives) provides a limiting case of differing theories of public management,since Congress is populated by highly motivated members (employees) who do not needconstant urging from their party leaders (bosses) to meet the goals of the organization. As a result one would be likely to witness what organizational theorists call Theory Y behavior where leaders work to assure that their membership is able to achieve their personal goals. This leadership style has been discussed and employed over the last sixty years mainly in the private sector and in the bureaucracy. However, much of the congressional literature argues in contrast to theorganizational theorists. Instead it posits that party leaders have to pressure their rank-in file to take actions that are against their personal interests in order to assist the party and the leader without worrying about what the individual member wants or desires in a type of leadership style similar to what is known as Theory X by organizational theorists. This perspective is especially true in the historical case studies of individual leaders and their accomplishments. Believing that the organizational theorists can tell us more about congressional leadership than what we know from the congressional literature. I investigate this question by using qualitative detail and content analysis of over 5,000 newspaper articles on party leaders from 1990-2008 that come from the prominent Capitol Hill newspaperRoll Call in which I coded members of the House for Theory X and Y behavior. I show that in contrast to the congressional literature that most party leaders Democratic and Republican try to empower their rank-in file most of the time rather than trying to "strong arm" them into meeting party goals. In addition, party leaders are more collaborative and empowering when compared with other members of Congress who share many of the same background traits as they do including geography, race and occupational background but are not party leaders. These findings would be in agreement with those who would argue that leaders in the House of Representatives employ Theory Y type leadership in most situations. In the context of these findings, the evidence also provides insight into the occasions in which leaders will resort to a more Theory X, hierarchical leadership style. This has great implications not only for the study of the House of Representatives but could be expanded to look at other political institutions in the United States including the Senate and state legislatures along with parliamentary systems internationally. This dissertation will highlight a key link between organizational theory and political organizations such as Congress in a way that has never been examined before.

**This post is the first of several that give additional details regarding some of the different analyses that are currently being conducted with material from Eagle Nest Canyon.**
By Stephen L. Black, Emily R. McCuistion, Matthew E. Larsen, and Chase W. Beck
The 2015 Ancient Southwest Texas Project excavations were the first to document paleofeces (coprolites) in Eagle Cave. During the original site excavations in the 1930s and 1960s no coprolites were reported (even though substantial amounts of paleofeces were likely encountered). Therefore, while not completely unexpected, we were pleasantly surprised when we uncovered the first coprolites.
Extreme care was taken as we excavated these fragile organic remains. Rocket bulb air puffers were used to remove sediment from around in situ specimens. After in-field photography, paleofeces specimens were point provenience with a Total Data Station and/or Structure from Motion (SfM) before being carefully removed and bagged without handling. Specimens were transported to the field laboratory in boxes or by hand to avoid crushing. Temperature extremes were avoided and bags were vented if moisture condensed in the bags.
Preservation conditions of all archaeological material varied across the site. Ironically, the best observed preservation was towards the dripline, whereas the worst was towards the backwall of the shelter. This was true for all non-carbonized organic remains, not just paleofeces. However, even within the well-preserved areas of the site there is differential preservation between individual specimens.
We are still exploring why preservation changes across the site, but some factors affecting preservation became clear when a small sample of coprolites were analyzed in the lab at Texas A&M. Of these, many were fragmentary and exhibited insect bore-holes and vacuoles, suggesting gaseous release before desiccation. Upon microscopic analysis, due to the poor condition of some coprolites the pollen was poorly preserved, and degraded, folded, and torn grains prevented the completion of a standard analysis.
Distribution of Paleofeces
Over 120 coprolites were point-provenienced during the 2015 field season. The majority of these specimens were excavated from the front of the rockshelter and approximately a meter below the surface. At Eagle Cave the coprolites are mainly found in areas of discarded fire-cracked rock and plant remains (cut leaf bases and other fiber). Sometimes they are found within compacted and dry-cracked sediment, which we sampled and hypothesize may be evidence of urine-soaking.
Paleofeces Variation
Size is affected by several conditions, including length of time since the last bowel movement and the types of food eaten. Meals based on a single type of food can result in smaller stools, though a vegetarian diet can result in a larger stool than an omnivorous diet.
Previous paleofeces studies have found that plump, shapely coprolites are often from a fiber/plant-heavy meal while the "loose" ones may be from an individual who had recently consumed a lot of meat. There are, however, many other reasons that one could have had fluid bowel movements including parasites, water containing algae-born toxins, plants with a laxative effect (like lechuguilla and sotol), and even an individual's emotional state.
Color can be indicative of diet; the darker specimens often result from meat consumption while the lighter ones can be indicative of a vegetarian and/or carbohydrate-rich meal. When dried, however, colors change. Nonetheless, it is interesting to note color variations.
Preliminary Analysis
Field Lab Observations
Botanists and faunal experts can identify large plant and animal remains within coprolites. Thorough analysis requires rehydrating the coprolite and separating it into constituent parts. Sometimes, however, macrofossils are visible on the surface. In the field lab, Emily McCuistion observed several plant and animal remains while photographing specimens. Observable in the photos to the right are a rather large bone fragment from a jackrabbit-sized creature, as well as numerous seeds, including mesquite and prickly pear.
Laboratory Analysis
Ten samples were sent to Texas A&M University for a preliminary study of Eagle Cave paleofeces conducted by Chase Beck. These specimens varied greatly in size, completeness, and preservation. When conducting the analysis of the ten specimens, some contained no coprolitic material, some contained mixed coprolitic and non-coprolitic material and some seemed to be multiple broken piece of coprolites which could not be re-assembeled into a whole.
Five specimens were selected for further analysis. These were hydrated and sieved, and then the material was separated. While the coprolites had some evidence of bone fragments, there was no hair. The majority of material in the coprolites was botanical in nature. Seeds, pollen, calcium oxalate crystals, druse crystals, plant fibers, and phytoliths were all observed. Sotol was the most common pollen grain observed, but other taxa were also present. The presence of calcium oxalate and druse crystals has been linked in the past to the consumption of prickly pear cactus pads. Some of the phytoliths observed are associated with various grass species (Poaceae). The stylus phytoliths are likely sotol (Dasylirion spp.) or agave (Agave spp.). The seeds observed are tentatively identified as sumac (Rhus spp., likely Rhus virens).
Future Study
Avenues of future analysis include studying macrofossils, pollen, phytoliths, parasites, DNA, radiocarbon dating, and comparison studies with paleofeces from other sites, such as Hinds Cave.
Although the first samples proved too degraded for full analysis, hope remains that DNA may provide more in-depth information. Better preserved samples may be more conducive to future full analysis as well.
The oldest units opened at the end of the 2015 field season are showing some excellent preservation and there are high hopes for more coprolites in the 2016 field season.

This time last year, Kristen and I started writing here on Old Fashioned Modern Living. Months and months before, I was standing in Kristen's kitchen telling her about one of my projects when she said, "you know, you should start a blog." And I responded "you're the writer…I'll blog if you do it too."
Plenty of text messages bounced back and forth before we decided on a name, I bought the URL and hosting and set up the basics. Then in August we decided it was time to go. We chose a theme for the site, I got things ready and we started blogging. The funny thing is, I never even finished the site; there are still a lot of things I wanted to implement that I never got around to.
But anyway, we started writing. About cooking and crafting and life, and an amazing thing happened. People started reading what we were writing. Not a ton of people, mind you, but people. And that was pretty cool. And hey, if you're reading this now – thanks for being here. It means so much to us that people take the time to read our posts and click 'like' or leave a comment. We know you're all busy, and it means the world to us that you're on this journey with us.
A little background here, I'm no fun on New Years Eve. Everyone's talking about the GREAT NEW YEAR they'll have and I'm like, it's tomorrow. Tomorrow is just another day. Point is, I don't do this "celebrating time" thing too well. And honestly, as a work at home mom, I often feel like I don't do very much at all. I can't talk about my promotions, my fancy trips or the concerts I've gone to. I'm home, a lot.
As I started thinking about this post, I realized that a lot has changed in the past year. And maybe I don't have big accomplishments to talk about, the kind you shout from the rooftops and receive glowing praise for, but that's okay. Sure, some not so good things have happened this past year (but I'm not going to talk about that here, I'm going to keep this positive), but I have been involved in and surrounded by some amazing things and honestly, that's enough.
- In September of 2015, I started my little jewelry design business, Seashore Design Studio. I remember the first time I picked up that handheld torch and cut into my fine silver wire, the excitement, the accomplishment. I took my time learning and practicing, and have met some absolutely amazing people along the way, and then in late spring of 2016 I did a soft relaunch with new signature items, lovely promo images and a new set of goals. I'm in the process of re-vamping my website to be an eCommerce site in addition to my Etsy shop, and I'm excited to have that ready!
- Just last month I became an Unfranchise Owner with Market America. This is a very interesting business opportunity, and it allows me to help people save and earn money on online purchases via my shopping portal, and help people find some of the best vitamin supplements on the market, as well as natural cleaning and homecare products and top notch cruelty free, vegan makeup. Plus I've been taking those very same vitamins and my seasonal allergies are all but gone, I'm sleeping better and I'm feeling more energized. Not bad.
Cooking, canning and home
- Last year I jarred my first batch of homemade tomato sauce, and cured my first olives.
- In this past year I've done my first canning (by myself, as opposed to watching my mother do it), making a whole load of peach, blueberry and strawberry jam. As I write this, I am actually standing in my kitchen stepping between my laptop on the counter and pot of glittery, boiling blueberries cooking down into a lovely blueberry-lime jam.
- I've utterly fallen in love with my cast iron dutch oven and have learned how to do a number of damn good stovetop slow cooked dishes.
- I've learned to be adventurous in the kitchen, baking breads and cookies without recipes, just based upon my own knowledge.
- I've discovered broccoli rabe. I always though I didn't like it. I was wrong.
- I've taken on a number of (small) home improvement projects, and am finally getting somewhat used to being a homeowner.
- I've seen two friends get married, and my brother got engaged to my best friend from high school. Go figure!
- I got to meet my first nephew, Kristen's adorable little guy. He is delightful, Little Miss adores him, and I am so incredibly glad he is part of the family.
- I've gone from "acquaintance" level to "soul sister" level with two incredible local moms who I am so utterly grateful for. Although we have different backgrounds and experiences, our base personalities are very similar and we understand each other on a level that I never expected.
- I've been lucky enough to watch as a local mama and friend (and her delightful sister) got their business off the ground in a most spectacular way. You may have seen me talk about babywearing on this blog. If you're looking for a woven wrap, look into Emmeline Textiles. I can't say enough good things about them.
- I have a toddler.
I need to expand upon that last bullet. I have a toddler. At this time last year, I still had a baby. Little Miss was all round head and chunky limbs, scooting herself around the floor. She hadn't yet taken her first step, and certainly hadn't uttered a word. Now…she's tall, she's running and going up and down steps, she's saying words and doing things on her own. It's not "will she cry" anymore, it's "what is this tiny person with a mind of her own going to do, say or pantomime". She is very much herself (and herself is awesome, by the way); a tough cookie with an infectious laugh, mischievous smile and the capacity to understand more than I ever expected.
Watching her change and grow has been really incredible. Being a mom is an exercise in a lot of things, including humility. Last year, it was still about me; I was in charge. Now, I think she's kind of in charge. Not really, but you know what I mean. She doesn't just go where I go and stay where I put her. She makes decisions and makes requests. She's experimenting, learning and getting to know her world. And I get to be her steward, making sure she doesn't get into too much trouble and doesn't behave too badly, while allowing her enough freedom to experience things for herself. Through this, I have found within myself a patience and calm that I'm not sure I knew was there before.
It's funny, I had Little Miss' name picked out for years and years (luckily, my husband liked it enough to agree to it). And now, she turned two this summer, and at time I'll write an email and mention her and stop and think, "wait, this is real? I really have a daughter?" I'm still somewhat in awe of her. Does that ever go away?
So all in all, not too bad for a year I barely considered. Thanks again for reading, and cheers to our next year!

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
More than a decade before Royce Da 5'9, Joe Buddens, Crooked I and Joell Ortiz teamed up to form the collective known as Slaughterhouse, Canibus, Kurupt, Ras Kass and Killah Priest came together as the Horsemen (a.k.a. the HRSMN).
The group only put out one limited release album: 2003's The Horsemen Project, leaving many hip hop fans wanting more to no avail. In an exclusive interview with BET.com, Canibus says another album still might happen down the line.
"I think that the Horsemen album will come out one day," said Canibus, adding, "As to when and how, it's difficult to, it's hard to say. The HRSMN have never been 'puppetized,' and I think that's probably one of the chief reasons the album hasn't been put together yet. It's like, no one of any real foundation, label-wise, has said, 'OK we're gonna get behind this group.' Maybe the result would be going in all directions, which they wouldn't be able to anticipate, so they'd rather not get behind something like that."
Canibus appreciates the way Slaughterhouse, in particular, has come together and commanded mainstream respect, but he's not certain radio, or even the underground, is ready for the HRSMN.
"Slaughterhouse is a supergroup, without a doubt," proclaimed Canibus. "Those are super MCs. The HRSMN is also a supergroup but they're different in a sense that the subject matter wouldn't completely follow the moniker of the name, but rather the experiences of the artists. The radio is not acclimatized to that. Not even independent music is acclimatized to that. It would be like alternative music."
As for his solo career, Canibus's first album in three years, titled Fait Accompli (which means "An accomplished fact"), drops Tuesday, June 10, but contrary to most artists, the former Wyclef Jean protegé says he's done explaining his music.
"I don't know how to articulate what's different about [this album] or why it's important. That's why I made it," Canibus said of the 23-track album, which is being produced in its entirety by JP Beats. "You either gotta listen to it yourself or read other people's opinions about it. I'm really not trying to advertise it or misrepresent it. It should look and sound and feel how the listener does. It's 15 albums down the line, and I stopped explaining my albums. I just make it cause I wanna make it that way."

The MRX-007 Prototype Psyco Gundam is a mobile armor from the Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Variations series.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
As the Earth Federation Forces' Titans force continues to build up its military and political power in its crusade to rule the Earth Sphere with an iron fist, one area of research actively pursued by the Titans is "cyber Newtypes" - artificially-engineered Newtypes who can operate revolutionary new Newtype-controlled weapons. At their Murasame Research Institute in Japan, the Titans built the Federation's first prototype Newtype-use unit, the MRX-007 Prototype Psyco Gundam. Equipped with a psycommu ("psychic communicator") system similar to that developed by the Principality of Zeon during the One Year War (hence the name "Psyco," which is short for "psycommu"), the Prototype Psyco Gundam's tremendous beam weapon firepower can be controlled by the pilot's mere thoughts. Based on the frame of the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II, the Murasame lab's goal is to create "the strongest Gundam." However, because of technological limitations the enormous psycommu system is installed in the unit's backpack. The Murasame lab refines the prototype, resulting in the creation of the MRX-008 Prototype Psyco Gundam, MRX-009 Psyco Gundam, MRX-010 Psyco Gundam Mk-II and MRX-011 Mass Production Type Psyco Gundam.
- Large Scattering Mega Particle Cannon
- Wired Beam Gun
Special Equipment & Features
- Psycommu System
The test data gathered from the Prototype Psyco Gundam will go on to create the MRX-008 Prototype Psyco Gundam.

The Course
This course is more theory-oriented and designed to give students fundamental knowledge of how digital data is stored, digital media are created and how information is transmitted over a network. To cement these concepts students are given hands-on experiences. Using materials developed by Yue-Ling Wong and Jennifer Burg the class is broken into five sections (digital data, digital images, digital audio, digital video, and networking) each with a theoretical and practical component.
Integrated Digital Media Curriculum
NSF-DUE-0340969, Principal Investigator: Yue-Ling Wong, Wake Forest University
The project develops curriculum material that bridges the gap between digital media (as a subfield of computer science) and digital art. The material is arranged around a Primer of material relevant to both computer science and art students; an advanced Computer Science (CS) Module emphasizing the mathematics and technology underlying digital media; and an advanced Art Module emphasizing aesthetics and design. The learning units topic areas are digital imaging, audio, and video and multimedia programming. The material is web-based and text-based and is divided in a fine-grained manner into recombined topics, interactive exercises, and demonstrations.

In this post I included an easy approach to implement the Endless Load more with loading progress in RecyclerView. I made this project as simple as possible, The main view lists movie names with IMDB rating (loads from server). When you reach the bottom by scrolling down the list, app will load more movies by indicating a loading progress.
– PHP Source added
For Network Requests I used Retrofit/OkHttp in this project. Even the project included Retrofit, I will skip that part in this post as this post mean to RecyclerView load more implementation. Full source code available at Github you can download and use the code as you wish.
RecyclerView is the Advanced and Flexible version of ListView which handles large datasets efficiently by maintaining a limited number of views (Like the ViewHolder Pattern used in ListView ). You can use the same RecyclerView for list and Grid type views by the setting the RecyclerView.LayoutManager.
As we are implementing RecyclerView Load More I assume you have created the project and have enough knowledge on RecyclerView layout and required dependencies. Else read here to get the basic understanding.
OK Let's start … Below is the final RecyclerView adapter class I used in this project look at code, I will explain the required blocks separately.
– It has two View Types (Movie[title,rating] and Loading Progress)
– MovieModel a data model class which have title,rating and type
– boolean isLoading is used to set the loading and load completed status. Which will prevent unnecessary the back to back load more call.
– you should call the custom method notifyDataChanged() to handle the isLoading status
– boolean isMoreDataAvailable is used to set the server data availablity status. Which will prevent app from requesting when no more data available at the server. Call adapter.setMoreDataAvailable(false); to notify the adapter that there is no more data available at the server.
– interface OnLoadMoreListener has a callback method onLoadMore which will get called whenever the scroll reached at the bottom.
Below is the example code block I used to call the load more in Activity class.
– In main activity implements OnLoadMoreListener() to get callback when scroll reaches the bottom.
– In loadMore() remote request method I adds loading progress view to the bottom of list by setting the MovieModel type to load.
– In data response callback removes the added load type from the MovieModel list, then adds the server response to the current list. When server returns blank array sets adapter.setMoreDataAvailable(false) to prevent further requests.
That's it… For further reference checkout the full source code at GitHub.

Police correct Steve Keim report, release video showing Cardinals GM didn't lie about identity during DUI arrest
Police in Chandler, Arizona, released video on Wednesday and corrected an erroneous police report that stated that Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim lied about his identity during a July 4 DUI arrest.
Video shows that he did not lie about who he was.
The original police report stated that Keim told a police officer that he was the Cardinals' director of security.
From the police report filed by officer Robert Dykstra:
"He was looking through cards and he verbally identified himself to me as Steve Keim. He told me he was the director of security for the Arizona Cardinals and he works with Sean McKenzie. The only Officer Sean McKenzie I know was killed in an off duty vehicle collision and I believed he was referencing him."
The video, which can be seen here, tells a different story. Here's what Keim actually said.
"Sean Kinsey is our director of security. I work for the Cardinals. So he works for the Chandler police."
In addition to releasing the video, Chandler police released a statement that Officer Dykstra would be filing a corrected police report after review of the footage showed the error. Pro Football Talk originally reported the pending correction.
"After reviewing the BWC footage, Mr. Keim stated that a person by the name of Sean McKenzie was their director of security and that he worked for the Arizona Cardinals. The officer will be completing a supplemental report to make that correction."
The erroneous report appears to be a case of misunderstanding by the arresting officer. Why Keim brought up the Cardinals director of security is not clear from the camera footage.
What is clear is that Keim did not lie about being the Cardinals director of security, as was originally reported by the police.

Beyond Digital Imaging (BDI) was awarded a RFP by the Canadian Museum of Civilization (CMC) in Gatineau, Quebec to replace the existing Forest Mesh banners In Sep 2012The mesh banners are located in the Grand Hall which is approximately 400 feet wide. The 2 mesh banners measure about 270' long by 28' tall and are staged one behind another in equal width with a distance of about 4' apart from front to back.
This 2 layer mesh creates a greater depth effect when viewed from the front, because of the "see-thru" of the front mesh to the back layer. Both mesh start approximately 20' from the ground and rises to 50' in height.The existing scrims in their grandeur were created over 20 years ago when the museum was built. Due to aging, both of the mesh and the frames that host these 2 scrims have reached their end of life.BDI's mandate was to create the entire Rainforest Scene from scratch using supplied archived slides. Furthermore, BDI had to create a framing system to replace the existing one using a unique fire-rated mesh material of the Museum's choice printed with the B.C. Rainforest scene.The graphic creation, production, installation had to occur on a very tight schedule & deadline.Another challenge was to meander through the many totem poles during the installation process without touching them as these are displayed elegantly but very closely together in the Grand Hall.
The museum emphasised that these artifacts were invaluable & priceless.BDI created the Rainforest graphics to the total satisfaction of the CMC project designers and managers.BDI designed a custom aluminum framing system & installation methodology for the project. BDI printed the graphics panels and matched them perfectly in its installation facilities in Dec 2012.The entire graphics was installed during the Museum shut down week early January 2013 in 5 days with perfect execution.Both the COO and Director of the Museum commented, "Great job, well done!"Beyond Digital Imaging stands proud to see another complex project executed for a satisfied customer.

One week from today, my boys will be back in school. My oldest starts high school, and his start time is earlier than any school he's been in before. He's responsible for getting himself up and feeding himself breakfast, but I'm responsible for making sure that there is food, healthy food, in the house for him and his brother to choose from. I want to make it as easy as possible for them, so this year, I plan on doing breakfast in bulk cooking on weekends.
Here are five recipes that I've chosen to try throughout the month of September. We'll see which ones my boys ask me to make again.
- Homemade French Toast Sticks – Made with ingredients that you trust and baked in the oven instead of fried like some of the prepackaged versions, these French toast sticks can be made in bulk, frozen on a cookie sheet, and pulled out a few at a time to quickly be heated in the toaster oven.
- Baked Banana Oatmeal Brulee – Everything you love in a steaming bowl of oatmeal goes into this baked dish that can be cut into squares to eat throughout the week or frozen and pulled out one at a time.
- Mini Egg & Sausage Quiche – Ready to bake pie crusts are divided into muffin tins and filled with quiche ingredients. The filling inside the quiche can be whatever you want – switch out the sausage for sauteed veggies for a meatless version if that's what you'd prefer.
- Freezer Breakfast Burritos – Full of eggs and vegetables, these vegetarian burritos can be made on whole-wheat tortillas. The high school is about eight blocks from my house, giving my son enough time to down one of these handheld burritos as he walks to school if he's really short on time.
- Green Smoothie Cups – Make ahead smoothies? Yep. All-vegan ingredients get blended together then divided up into muffin tins and frozen. Once solid, they're popped out of the tin, to keep in the freezer until needed. Pull out two smoothie cups at a time to make a quick, nutritious smoothie in the morning.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Website Hosting
You shall be able to use this option with all of our shared website hosting packages and with any SSL certificate issued from any dealer. If you decide to use an SSL from our company, everything will be arrange automatically and you will not have to do anything after you order and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will allow you to select a shared IP to be used and the SSL to be set up by our system, so using this feature requires only two additional mouse clicks after you fill the needed data for the certificate. The adequate functioning of the SSL will not be affected in any way and any data which website visitors submit on your website shall be encrypted and protected in the very same way. The one difference from using a dedicated address is that http:// won't open your website, but it is unlikely that anyone will ever seek to access it in this way instead of typing your domain in the Internet browser URL bar.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Any SSL certificate could be used with our specifically configured shared IPs, so if you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you can use this option with just a few clicks when you install a certificate that you purchase through us or through any other retailer. For the SSLs that we offer you could also take advantage of an additional function and have our system set everything up for you. In this way the minute you approve the SSL, the shared IP will be set for the given domain or subdomain and the certificate will be installed without any action expected on your end, so any information that site visitors submit on your site will be protected. The SSL shall do the job in the same exact way irrespective if it's set on a shared or a dedicated IP and the one thing that is different between the two setups is that entering the shared IP as a URL inside an Internet browser won't open your website.

Experience and skill of the power tong technician plays a major role in the safety and efficiency of a casing run. This makes the selection of your power tong service company a key component of overall performance. ProTorque attracts and employs some of the industries most talented and experienced casing running technicians.
Proper power tong selection for every casing connection is a critical aspect of any tubular running operation. Premium connection torque values typically dictate the use of a FMS back up or an integral power tong to meet correct manufacturer make up specifications. ProTorque has an expansive fleet of specialized casing running equipment to support the make-up of high torque connection values up to 85 000 ft/ lbs while maintaining a small foot print on the rig floor. Our focus is on having the right power tong equipment for every job.
Every detail of a casing run must be considered when looking for cost savings and efficiency; particularly on long production strings where every second counts while maintaining a safe operation. When making-up four hundred or more connections, shortening fill times by filling on the fly and selecting the correct handling equipment (air or hydraulic powered slips) we save time and effort on long challenging casing runs. ProTorque can meet handling requirements of up to 500 tons of hoist.

CROSS-POSTED FROM MAGICAL WORDS: http://www.magicalwords.net/melissa-gilbert/oh-editor/
Today is the release of An Improbable Truth: The Paranormal Adventures of Sherlock Holmes! I have a story in there titled "The Chase" along with other amazing stories by superbly talented storytellers. I have read some of them, but I am waiting on the actual book to devour the rest. I'm hungry for them, but I want to savor them as well.
Working on this project through Mocha Memoirs Press was my first adventure with an anthology editor and someone who wanted my story. I couldn't have asked for a better "first time" for this.
(Side note: The lovely Sharon Stogner has done some proofing for me before, but that's a bit different.)
My editor for An Improbable Truth is A. C. Thompson, who you all may better know as Alexandra Christian. I have to say that working with an editor helped me not only to write better but also to be a better editor myself. I learned the value of the editor not only functioning to make the story better, but also the value of the editor as an ally and cheerleader for the writer. Comments like "it would be totally badass if you did ____" just made my day. It's editorial feedback, but it's warm and fuzzy (as much as being a badass can be) at the same time. I also laughed at some of the comments I got as well. I, evidently, do not know how cocaine works. Oops.
The process was quick, seamless, and altogether beautiful. I appreciate everyone at Mocha Memoirs Press so much.
So, please, if you are so inclined, check out An Improbable Truth: The Paranormal Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, out today!
Also, if you are in the Charlotte, NC, area, we are having a signing at 2nd and Charles in Charlotte on Nov. 7 from 1:30-4:00. We'd love to see you there!
"When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." Sherlock Holmes is one of the most recognizable characters in Western literature. Conan Doyle's inimitable detective has been the subject of literally thousands of books, movies, television shows, plays and even songs. With the rise of the BBC series and the release of most copyrights, the beloved character has found a new life among modern audiences. In An Improbable Truth: The Paranormal Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, 14 authors of horror and mystery have come together to create a unique anthology that sets Holmes on some of his most terrifying adventures. A pair of sisters willing to sacrifice young girls to an ancient demon for a taste of success, a sinister device that can manipulate time itself, and a madman that can raise corpses from the dead are just a few among the grisly tales that can be found within these pages. Curl up with a warm cuppa and leave all the lights on. This is not your grandfather's Sherlock Holmes."

Anepalco's Cafe
22 Mar 2013
This is one of my favorite places to go for breakfast. The food is outstanding and the presentation is surprising for such a small kitchen. It's located at 415 S. Main Street, Orange (near St. Joseph's Hospital) and is quite small so it helps to get there early. There is some parking in front and also in a lot in the back.
My favorite is the Chilaquiles (pictured above) with green sauce. Bill decided to try the Huevos Divorciados (pictured below) with eggs, bacon/ham and both red and green sauce. They also serve crepes, omelettes, quiche, and french toast. Since they're also open for lunch, they have a good selection of sandwiches and salads.
Check out their website for information and menus. They now have a second restaurant on Chapman that is open for lunch and dinner which we want to try.

One of the dramas I waited each weekend to watch has finally ended. Maids or Servants was a drama that attracted me seeing that the focus of the story is about the servants during the Joseon era and how society sees them as slaves and owned by noble families who can do whatever they like with their lives. It was a time where slaves can do nothing against the injustices of their Lords or Lady if they decided to end their lives in a flick of their fingers.
But like any society, romance can not choose who to like. The story tells a story of how noble men fell for their servants and had a relationship with them, discreetly or not. In this drama two maids were in a relationship with their lords, one faced death just because she carried the child of the Lady's husband. In Dan Ji's case, I believe that she was loved by Yoon Seo, unfortunately he was already married and a noble man. But the drama gave justice to Dan Ji and her fate by letting her have a happy ending.
I stayed glued to the story because I was moved by Moo Myung's silent love towards In Yub, once a noble woman turned slave because her father was convicted of treason. This silent man who seldom speaks but has a great screen presence totally awed me. The chemistry with In Yub was so amazing that I really waited for their love to bloom. There was Eun Ki, the first man In Yub fell in love with and was almost wed if not for the soldiers that suddenly halted the ceremony. The story is not that complicated but it gave the right answers how In Yub's feelings were vague in my point of view. Although she acknowledged Moo Myung as someone who moved her and made her appreciate his concern for her, at the back of her mind, she could not just forget Eun Ki. Eun Ki who was forced to a
marriage with her friend [or so she thought] was a closure for what she and him have.
If only Moo Myung is not the Prince, I think the love line in the story will not be complicated. But I like how Moo Myung chose In Yub over and over again. Even the status of being a Prince did not deter him from seeking her when she disappeared from his life. If only the writer gave me more scenes of In Yub and Moo Myung and not left it hanging in the end for me to conclude that everything turned out fine. If only the writer gave some more romance between In Yub and Moo Myung. But then I have to settle for the embrace they shared and the one kiss he gave her when she was inside a cell.
The story nicely wrapped up the lose ends. What In Yub started to fight for her father's innocence, she got. She was even reinstated as a noble woman again. All the hardships she endured while being a maid was all worth it. She learned many things while being a slave and that gave her enough knowledge to be different and to treat with respect people belonging to different class. She has no family but she gained friends and support from these ignorant and uneducated slaves that became family to her. She even let Dan Ji and her mother live with her ion her house after being reinstated, not to be their mistress but to work comfortably without being mistreated.
Again, it shows that the world is round. No one can predict the future just as the Defense Minister's family turned to be slaves after the King exiled the Minister to Jeju. I think that it has to happen to show justice and to make mother and daughter who mistreated In Yub pay for their cruelty. But personally, I really think it was unfair for the Minister of Defense because his loyalty was towards the King, although that last decision he made was what made him a traitor. Guess, he was too complacent or that he was not choosing sides that's why he got what he deserves.
I don;t know but I don't pity Eun Ki even when he was dying. He made his choices, he was a weak person, claiming he did all for In Yub but that was really not the case and he admitted it to In Yub. He was jealous how Moo Myung showed him how to protect In Yub without compromising principles. Eun Ki deserves what he got. His avenging and greedy heart made him a traitor. But then, who can blame him when he is a filial son? This is where the dilemma lies. Family or lover? Which is the right choice?
So, even if I am a bit disappointed at how the romance part between Moo Myung and In Yub went, the ending made me conclude that it was a happy ending for them both. They reunited. They live happily ever after.
It was said that this drama was based on historical events and figures but just the story was fiction, so I will just let my imagination rules and believe that both In Yub and Moo Myung found love in the end regardless of whether he became a recognized Prince or not.
Great cast, amazing acting and I think cinematography is good.
some screen caps for the final episode

Calculating Power Requirements
This application note describes how to calculate the power requirements for your system.
This application note is for use with our "estimated current" products, which includes our SS1010 and BS1010 series of controllers. Note that the BC2D20 and BC4E20 current regulating controlers are not restricted by these rules. For those series, please review our calculating motor current for current controlled products faq for power information.
1. Determine the individual motor current requirements.
The first issue is to determine the current requirements for your stepper motor. Since our system does not monitor current at all (it only estimates current, using a PWM-like technique), the current ratings as seen by our board may not match those specified by a manufacturer who is assuming that current-monitoring based control is being performed.
From the point of view of determining the current requirements for your motor, our system is best modeled using the standard resistor-only based formula (ignoring inductance) of:
or, rearranging terms in order to find I,
That is to say, the current (I) as seen by our board equals the voltage (V) from your power supply divided by the resistance (R) of your motor windings. This value can be much greater than that claimed by a given motor manufacturer, since most of them assume that you are using a current-controlled system to run their motors.
For example, if you have a 3 ohm resistance in your windings, then the motor will "draw" 6/3 or 2 amps if 6 volts is driven out of it, and it will draw 12/3 or 4 amps (per winding) if 12 volts is generated.
Once you have determined the motor current, then you will need to determine how you intend to run it via our product offerings. We have four modes of operation, which provide for three levels of power per motor. These modes are controlled by the "o" command, which specifies the technique used to drive the windings.
|Update Order
|Current Multiplier
|0 (single winding full step)
|1 (half step: alternate 1, 2 windings)
|2 (full step: 2 windings at a time)
|3 (microstep)
Note that the above table includes a "fudge factor"; we always recommend using a power supply which is somewhat larger than the absolute minimum required, in order to avoid overloading issues.
Obviously, if you are going to run multiple motors off of one supply, you will need to add together all of the currents needed in order to determine how large of a supply to use.
2. Determine the voltage for your motor power supply
This is fundamentally the same calculation as above. To calculate the voltage requirements for your motor, our system is best modeled using the standard resistor-only based formula (ignoring inductance) of:
That is to say, the voltage (V) from you your power supply which is required to generate the requested current (I) as seen by our board equals the current (I) times the resistance (R) of your motor windings. This value can be much smaller than that claimed by a given motor manufacturer, since most of them assume that you are using a current-controlled system to run their motors.
3. Determine the logic supply requirements
The current needed by the logic portion of our product offerings depend upon the product. All of the units except for the BiStep2A need at most 0.4 Amps for their logic (that provided via the Vc or Va connection); the BiStep2A requires 1 amp for this connection.
4. Determine the power supplies you will be using
Your choices are dependant on the desired voltage to the motors, and on the board which you have purchased from us. In all cases, we strongly recommend that linear supplies be used: switching supplies are not very good when used with inductance based loads.
Single Supply.
If your motor power supply voltage is from 7.5 to 15 volts, then you may choose to use a single supply to operate the system. Note that the current capabilities of the supply must exceed the sum of the current requirements of the motor(s) and the logic circuits.
Dual Supply
For all of the other units, you may separate the motor supply from the logic supply. If you do so, we suggest using the lowest voltage in the range of 7.5 to 15 volts on the logic supply which you have available, to reduce generation of waste heat on the board.
The motor supply should be above 7 volts in all cases (due to some signal requirements on the board), and otherwise is as calculated under sections 1 and 2, above. If the supply is to drive 2 motors, please remember to double the current needs.

USCIS Application Support Centers (ASC) are locations that are designated for capturing biometrics including photographs and fingerprinting for green card and citizenship applications. Some ASC's are located in the same office as the USCIS while others are located independent of the USCIS office and are "stand-alone" offices. Previously the stand-alone ASC offices were open from Tuesday – Saturday. However, starting on November 2, 2009, ASC "stand-alone" locations will have a new schedule of Monday – Friday from 8AM-4PM. Note that these ASCs will close on Halloween (Saturday, 10/31/2009) and open the following Monday morning (11/02/2009) with the new schedule. The last Saturday of operation is 10/24/2009. ASC locations can be found at https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.type&OfficeLocator.office_type=ASC.

The Texas Observer published a detailed look at one doctor whose inadequacy lead to several patient deaths and many more serious injuries. Over a string of years, the professional committed one case of malpractice after another. The story discusses the specific mistakes made. But it also shows has the state's internal review board, charged with ensuring bad doctors lose their license, failed to act in a timely manner. The entire situation is a good example of why private litigation remains so critical to patients safety–official public accountability channels need much improvement.
Neurosurgeon & Malpractice
The doctor in question opened his neurosurgery clinic in late 2010. He then began treating patients–making a number of huge mistakes along the way. But it wasn't until two and a half years later than he finally lost his license to practice. Why did it take so long? Could quicker disciplinary action have saved lives?
The story notes how the state medical board received reports about the doctor's track record of errors very early on. The complaints were not just from patients who were harmed. They were from other doctors and lawyers reviewing medical errors cases. All of the voices were essentially saying the same thing: This doctor should not be seeing patients. The fellow doctors who complained about the man were often the ones brought in to "clean up" his past mistakes. The colleagues used incredibly harsh words to describe his "surgical misadventures."
Protecting the Industry, Not Patients
The dangerous doctor was allowed to practice for a year or more, even after his past errors were well-known. The reason has a lot to do with administrative and legislative changes in the state which made it harder for anyone to hold doctors accountable. From caps on litigation damages to tightened rules to prove negligence, the law changed to protect the interests of all those in the medical industry–not the patients who relied on their care.
Part of the problem is that it takes months–sometimes years–for investigations into doctor misconduct to be completed. Even then, the evidence against a doctor has to be overwhelming before the board will revoke a license. The red tape and delay is good for doctors but terrible for patients who often fall victim to errors made by doctors who should not be practicing. In almost all cases, patients have no way of knowing if their doctor is guilty of chronic malpractice.
In summarizing the situation the article authors chillingly argue that the the case is an example of "the weakness of [an] unregulated system of health care, a system built to protect doctors and hospitals. And a system in which there's no way to know for sure if your doctor is dangerous."
Don't Stay Silent
Remaining silent about medical errors is never a good idea. Doctors who make mistakes must be held accountable, or, at the very least, be forced to learn from their error. That is only accomplished with others step up and make the issue known. For help with malpractice issues in Illinois, please contact our attorneys today.

Nestlé To Sell Both Sugary Foods and Diabetes Pills
Nestlé is the 800-pound gorilla in the processed food business. With 335,000 employees, over 2,000 brands, 436 manufacturing facilities in 85 countries, Nestlé is the beast of the corporate food world. It is difficult to live even one day without eating something made by Nestle. But, Nestlé's food empire, built on sugar, has propelled it to become the largest food company in the world and Europe's most valuable corporation. And, don't look now, but sugar is quietly becoming public health enemy number one. For Nestlé and other big food companies, sugar has been sweet with profits for decades. But, not anymore. Sugar is now auditioning to be the next diamond-level member of the consumables on the governments' food vice list, joining tobacco and alcohol. With obesity rates on the rise worldwide, governments are zeroing in on sugar and the many foods that contain some form of sugar. First, Mexico imposed a tax on sugary drinks as a way to cut obesity. Then the U.K. followed suit. Saudi Arabia may also impose such a tax. Even the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is considering strengthening the rules for sugar labeling. In 2013 French scientists concluded that sugar and sweets "can not only substitute [for] addictive drugs, like cocaine, but can even be more rewarding and attractive." The study found that sugar is "clearly not as behaviorally and psychologically toxic," but cravings for it can be similarly intense.
Not surprisingly, it is with this ominous backdrop that Nestlé has set its future course—to invent and sell medicine. The idea would be to create medicines derived from food and delivered as a delicious snack food instead of as a pill. Some products might require a doctor's prescription and others would be simply over-the-counter. Nestlé's strategy is to redefine itself as a science-based "nutrition, health, and wellness company." But, the irony in all of this is that Nestlé wants to do all of this while still keeping its sugary food businesses. Put simply, Nestlé would sell a problem and sell a remedy for that problem simultaneously.
Ed Baetge, 59, a decorated food and drug professional, now heads the Nestlé Institute of Health Sciences, based and the corporate headquarters in Vevey, Switzerland. He considers the Institute's business to be "just like pharma," Baetge says. "They're screening new chemical entities, and we're screening natural products, especially ones that come from food." Baetge argues that food is cheap, plentiful, and familiar. It "really turns the pharmaceutical model on its head," he says. "How do we activate the biggest drug that we take every day?"
So where will all of this lead? Will big food and big pharma get married? Are we witnessing a revolution in the distinction of food and medicine? Stay tuned, we may be in for the ride of our lives.

This can be exploited to spoof file types in the file download dialog by sending specially crafted headers containing white spaces, dots and ASCII bytes 160. Successful exploitation may trick a user into executing malware if the file is opened through the file download dialog. The vulnerability has been confirmed in Mozilla Firefox 0.10.1 for Windows. Other versions may also be affected. 2) The "Content-Type" header is used for associating a file to a file type in the file download dialog, but the file extension is left intact when saving the file to disk with "Save to Disk". This can be exploited to spoof file types in the file download dialog. Successful exploitation may result in malware being saved to the download directory, which by default is the desktop. NOTE: If the downloaded malware is a shortcut or some executable file, then the icon can be spoofed in the download manager and on the desktop. The vulnerability has been confirmed in Mozilla Firefox 1.0 for Windows. Other versions may also be affected. ====================================================================== 4) Solution The vulnerabilities have been partially fixed in version 1.0.1. ====================================================================== 5) Time Table 25/10/2004 - Vulnerabilities discovered. 01/11/2004 - Vendor notified. 05/11/2004 - Vendor patches vulnerabilities in the CVS repository. 09/11/2004 - Mozilla Firefox 1.0 released. 17/11/2004 - Vendor notified that the patch for the second vulnerability can be bypassed. 24/02/2005 - Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1 released. 12/05/2005 - Public disclosure. ====================================================================== 6) Credits Discovered by Andreas Sandblad, Secunia Research. ====================================================================== 7) References Bugzilla references: 1) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267122 2) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267123 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275441 ====================================================================== 8) About Secunia Secunia collects, validates, assesses, and writes advisories regarding all the latest software vulnerabilities disclosed to the public.

Laimir's research emphasis for Ph.D. study is in documentary theory, history, and practice. His interest in blurring the boundaries between film theory and creative practice has been embodied in his work "that could be defined as invitation to participate in ongoing carnivals in which excess, visual spectacle, sensorial experiences, and references to the Cuban culture prevail over dramatic action." Characters display the artificial nature of their constructed identities by performing the process of becoming in liminal spaces such as theaters and film sets, in order to challenge rigid notions of cubania (the way in which Cubans envision themselves). Movement across geographical and political boundaries is also elemental in his thinking and experience. His short films have screened at venues including the Tribeca Film Festival, the Shanghai International Film Festival, and the International Film Festival of New Latin American Cinema.

◿ DΌῨϚἨƎ & ΒᾸΝΛΝᾸ$ ◺(Firedrill Tropicool Rub) by KOΔƎK
Album Description
It's no secret among skweee heads that reggae riddims have had a significant influence on the nordic synth-funk sound, shaping it from the very beginning. On Skweee Inna Dancehall, veterans and newcomers from all over the world come together to celebrate their love of dancehall reggae music through colourful, squelching skweee beats. Skweee Inna Dancehall takes us through various riddim styles such as the dubbed-out "Presetum Operandi" by Mangrove, the tense syncopation of Peter Drew's "The Greaser" and the hard-hitting dread vibes of Daniela Salvia's "Bamboo Shoots and Ladders," all brought together through skweee's signature synth-warping madness.

You have likely seen the message regarding bargaining that UVic has put on its website. Your Union wishes to correct some misleading and inaccurate comments contained in the University release. (For the full University statement, see "Negotiations with CUPE 4163 (1 and 2)")
- The University claims that " the parties have been bargaining regularly". In fact, we have had at best one or two meetings per month
- The University release states that they "are presently in the very late stages of bargaining with our six unions on campus"; however, at Uvic only CUPE 4163 is still bargaining.
- The University also claims to be bargaining "under the provincial government's province-wide Economic Stability Mandate." The Economic Stability Mandate is clear that agreements are to be a 5 year term, yet UVic has not moved from its 10 year term demand.
- The University claims that "University negotiators have not yet formally received a wage proposal from CUPE at the bargaining table," neglecting to mention that a full wage proposal was provided to the University negotiators via email on February 2, 2016.

text: Exploring Pueblo Pottery Ideum's New Mexico home means that we're close to one of the nation's oldest and most vibrant cultures: the pueblo peoples of the American southwest. The Pueblo of Acoma, about 60 miles west of Albuquerque, is one of the oldest communities in the United States, having been continuously occupied by Native Americans for more than 800 years. During that time, Acoma artisans have created a rich pottery tradition based on distinctive motifs drawn from nature and shaped by their spiritual worldview. Our new Exploring Pueblo Pottery project uses cutting-edge technology and innovative experience design to shine new light onto ancient motifs. We worked closely with UNM instructor and potter Clarence Cruz and artist Michelle Lowden of Milo Creations to design an experience that allows users to investigate these intricate designs, discover how they highlight important elements of pueblo life, and learn about the art, history, and culture behind their creation. A sophisticated 360 degree projection mapping system is at the heart of this captivating experience. Users can select from a range of designs crafted by Lowden, an Acoma artist from a family of illustrious potters. The chosen designs are animated and cast onto a oversized white olla, or water pot, by 4 overhead projectors. Viewers then see the blank pot come to life as stylized images of clouds, rain, lightning, mountains, birds, and local wildflowers envelop the surface of the pot. Although projection mapping has often been used to cast content onto curved surfaces, this project offered the opportunity to push the technology further by projecting particularly intricate moving images on a complexly-curved 360 degree object. Acoma pottery is widely known for the very fine lines and complex geometry used in many designs, particularly in motifs related to rainfall. Accurately rendering and integrating these images on the pot's surface while maintaining their integrity and content required our projection mapping team to achieve new levels of precision with these techniques. Visitors are active participants as they use a ultra-wide 34" touch display to select patterns and designs that are displayed in real time on the body and neck of the large pot. As they make selections and create new combinations, they learn more about the meaning of the intricate designs. Ideum developed the custom hardware and software on the visitor-controlled kiosk. Christie Digital's Pandora's Box was the media server behind the complex warping and projection mapping on the pot. This system also controlled LED lights which dynamically change as different patterns are selected. The Exploring Pueblo Pottery project's success in creating sharp, seamless, and even moving images on an unusual shape breaks new ground in combining techniques and technology—and presents new opportunities to tell stories about the people and ideas behind timeless traditions.
