Violation by a railroad of an order of the railroad commission under St. 1906, c. 463, Part II, Section 151, now G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 160, Section 147, requiring the presence of a crossing tender at a certain grade crossing was evidence of negligence on the part of the railroad toward the owner and operator of an automobile struck by a train on that crossing at a time when the crossing tender was absent, whether or not the railroad incurred a penalty for the violation under c. 160, Section 148. [371]
A finding of negligence of a railroad toward the owner and operator of an automobile struck by a train on a grade crossing at a time when the crossing tender assigned to that crossing was absent was warranted by evidence that the crossing tender's home was some eight miles from the crossing, that on the morning of the accident he allowed only about the usual time to get to the crossing by automobile notwithstanding a severe snow storm then in progress, and that he was delayed by the storm and did not reach the crossing until after the accident. [371-372]
Evidence of the circumstances in which, it might have been found, one operating an automobile during a severe snow storm stopped short of a railroad grade crossing, looked and listened, observed the absence of the crossing tender and heard a "very distant and very muffled" whistle, and then proceeded slowly onto the crossing, where the automobile was struck by a rapidly approaching train obscured by a screen of snow thrown up by the engine, did not require a ruling as matter of law that the operator was guilty of contributory negligence or that he did not comply with G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 90, Section 15, as amended by St. 1933, c. 26, Section 1. [372]
TORT. Writ in the Superior Court dated October 6, 1949.
The action was tried before Murray, J.
Page 370
Noel W. Deering, (John A. Briggs with him,) for the defendant.
Roger B. Coulter, (Philander S. Ratzkoff with him,) for the plaintiff.
WHITTEMORE, J. In this action of tort the jury found for the plaintiff on two common law counts for personal injury and property damage. The defendant's exceptions are to the denial of its motion for a directed verdict and its motion to enter a verdict under leave reserved.
There was no error in denying these motions. There was evidence of the defendant's negligence and the plaintiff's intestate could have been found not to have been contributorily negligent and to have complied with G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 90, Section 15, as amended.
The plaintiff's intestate was driving his automobile from west to east over the defendant's Beechwood crossing in Cohasset about 8 A.M., Sunday, January 18, 1948, during a severe snow storm which had aspects of a blizzard. His automobile was hit on the crossing by the left front of the engine of a regularly scheduled northbound train that was running only slightly late. The automobile was carried to the Cohasset station four thousand nine hundred seventy feet north of the crossing before anyone knew there had been an accident. The plaintiff's intestate had no memory of the collision itself. He died fourteen months after the accident. The jury found for the defendant under a count for causing his death.
The following stated facts were undisputed on the evidence: A crossing tender, usually on duty at such a time, was absent. His presence was required under an outstanding order of the railroad commission. [Note p370-1] He had been delayed by the storm in reaching the crossing from his home in East Weymouth which was approximately eight miles away from the crossing by timetable mileage. He was coming over the road in his own automobile and had left home at about 6:40 A.M. to arrive at 7:30 A.M., the assigned hour. He
Page 371
usually allowed himself forty-five minutes to get to the crossing. He was delayed at the Hingham overpass adjacent to the Hingham traffic circle. Finally it became necessary to put on chains. He arrived at his position sometime from 8:10 to 8:25 A.M.
Violation of the order of the railroad commission of January 12, 1911, made pursuant to St. 1906, c. 463, Part II, Section 151, was evidence of negligence of the defendant as to all consequences which that order was intended to prevent. Giacomo v. New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, 196 Mass. 192, 195. Mannino v. Boston & Maine Railroad, 300 Mass. 71, 75. Carbone v. Trustees of New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, 320 Mass. 710, 712. Friese v. Boston Consolidated Gas Co. 324 Mass. 623, 630. Obviously, the injury to the plaintiff's intestate was such a consequence. There was here a causal connection between the injury and the condition to which the order applies. Compare McGlauflin v. Boston & Maine Railroad, 230 Mass. 431, 434.
The statutory penalty for violation of the subject order is, by G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 160, Section 148, imposed only if the railroad corporation "unreasonably neglects to comply." It follows from our decision in Carbone v. Trustees of New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, 320 Mass. 710, that a violation of an unqualified order may be evidence of negligence whether or not a separately prescribed penalty is incurred. In that case we held that the violation of a statute was evidence of neglect as to all consequences that were intended to be prevented even though the statute imposed no penalty. Here the separately prescribed penalty did not have the effect of lessening the mandate of the order of the railroad commission. The penalty was prescribed only for certain, but not all, violations of the order.
We think that in any event there was here sufficient evidence of unreasonable neglect to have taken the case to the jury. The crossing tender during a severe snow storm allowed only about the usual time to get to his post several miles away. The defendant had chosen to assign to the post a man who lived at a distance and whose prompt
Page 372
arrival, it could have foreseen, might be delayed by anticipatable bad weather or other unusual events.
It is unnecessary to decide whether there was any evidence of negligence in the operation of the train because of obscured vision, a screen of snow thrown by the engine, and the speed of the train.
The remaining issues are whether the judge should have ruled as a matter of law that the plaintiff's intestate was contributorily negligent or did not comply with the mandate of G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 90, Section 15, as amended by St. 1933, c. 26, Section 1, a penal statute, which, as it read before a 1951 amendment, required that every person operating such a motor vehicle as was here involved "upon approaching a railroad crossing at grade, shall reduce the speed of the vehicle to a reasonable and proper rate, and shall proceed cautiously over the crossing."
We think such rulings could not properly have been made and that the questions of contributory negligence and compliance with the statute were for the jury.
There was evidence from which it could have been found that the plaintiff's intestate was very familiar with the crossing, that he stopped, looked and listened at a point about twenty-seven feet westerly of the tracks, having turned down his right front window as he came to a stop, that he observed the absence of a crossing tender and saw that the door of the crossing tender's shanty was closed, and that he then proceeded slowly to the crossing while continuing to be alert for the appearance of the crossing tender and the sight or sound of an oncoming train. The jury could have believed that the accident occurred, notwithstanding these precautions of the plaintiff's intestate, because the engine, travelling rapidly and ploughing one to two feet of snow, was throwing a screen of snow which obscured the engine from an observer in front even at a very short distance and which itself was undifferentiated in appearance from the whiteness of the gusty and squally storm. It was open to the jury to find also that the distance at which other objects could be seen, notwithstanding the
Page 373
storm, was substantial, and that neither permanent physical structures nor features of the landscape obscured vision for some distance down the track. On these facts the case is distinguishable from Papageorge v. Boston & Maine Railroad, 317 Mass. 235.
We cannot say that the conclusion was required that the plaintiff's intestate should have anticipated an obscuring snow screen. On the evidence therefore the jury could have concluded that the plaintiff's intestate adopted "such other reasonable measures as common prudence dictated" in view of the restriction of his vision by the storm (Papageorge v. Boston & Maine Railroad, 317 Mass. 235, 238) and that he exercised active diligence on his own behalf. Holmes v. New York Central Railroad, 330 Mass. 155, 159. O'Brien v. Boston & Maine Railroad, 330 Mass. 347, 350-351. The plaintiff's intestate could rely to some extent on the absence of the crossing tender, and the evidence does not require the finding that he relied entirely on this circumstance. Holmes v. New York Central Railroad, 330 Mass. 155, 159. See Papageorge v. Boston & Maine Railroad, 317 Mass. 235, 238; Morrissey v. Boston & Maine Railroad, 216 Mass. 5; Eisenhauer v. Boston & Maine Railroad, 285 Mass. 439; Verrocchi v. Boston & Maine Railroad, 322 Mass. 376, 378.
When the plaintiff's intestate stopped he heard a whistle "very distant and very muffled." The muffling effect of a snow storm on train and highway noises being well known, it would have been incautious not to have allowed for it in evaluating the significance of the whistle, but we cannot say that the evidence of what the plaintiff's intestate did shows conclusively that he did not make such allowance, or that he acted with lack of the required care because he heard the whistle. There was evidence of a number of crossings in the neighborhood for which the train was required to whistle.
We have carefully considered the evidence on which the defendant relies including that which tends to show that the plaintiff's intestate stopped at a point where his vision was obscured by the crossing tender's shanty, that he did
Page 374
not continue to look southerly while he approached the tracks after stopping, and that if he was looking down the track at the critical moments just before the automobile arrived at the tracks, he was doing so through window glass which obscured his vision. The evidence, though it permitted these findings, did not require that they be made. It is undisputed that the plaintiff's intestate was turning up the glass as he started forward after having stopped. The photographs in evidence, of the automobile shortly after it was disengaged from the train, show the window closed, but it could have been closed just before the automobile was hit, and the jury were not required to find that such snow as may have accumulated on the window glass before it was lowered was not removed by the act of lowering it.
Exceptions overruled.

To the Editor:
Many writers have noted that the electoral college has recently functioned as a formality. But the founding fathers did not intend it as a formality, and treating it as such now puts our country at grave risk.
As Alexander Hamilton wrote, the electoral college is meant to preserve "the sense of the people" while also ensuring that a president is chosen by the individuals "most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station and acting under circumstances favorable to deliberation, and to a judicious combination of all reasons and inducements which were proper to govern their choice." Electors from each state were charged with protecting us by ensuring "that the office of president will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications."
The original electoral process worked — and then the political parties intervened. In the present electoral college, electors either cannot or will not make independent judgments of the candidates' qualifications. Instead, they will "rubber stamp" their party's candidate. As a result, in the current election we have a person who stands ready to receive the electoral majority, despite having none of the "requisite qualifications" for the presidency. Indeed, based on his rhetoric and behavior, he appears unqualified for any leadership position. The other candidate has decades of relevant experience and an enormous advantage in the popular vote — yet she is declared the loser. This is a violation of basic democratic precepts, to say nothing of common sense.
If the point of the electoral college is to preserve "the sense of the people," then it should not confer our presidency on one who:
- Lost the popular election by more than 2.5 million votes;
- Condemned many US citizens as rapists, murderers, and thieves;
- Consistently lied to the American public during the election;
- Called his political opponents liars and other derogatory names;
- Claimed that millions of voters voted illegally - without any verifiable documentation;
- Claiming, during the election, that the process was "fixed," despite denials from bipartisan electoral officials;
- Hinted that there would be a "revolution" if he lost the election;
- Bragged about sexually violating the personal rights of women;
- Stated that he witnessed thousands of Muslims cheering in NJ when the World Trade Center Towers collapsed – even though police have insisted that it did not happen;
- Demonstrated a lack of knowledge of foreign and domestic US policy;
- Denigrated individual military heroes and their families;
- Claimed, with no evidence, that our military — the very best in the world — is a "mess;"
- Established a phony university to make money while purposely defrauding its students;
- Repeatedly refused to pay the owners of small businesses what he owns them;
- Bragged about making money while going bankrupt, even as many shareholders lost money as a result;
- Threatened his political opponent with prosecution if he were elected;
- Refused to provide his income tax information, after saying he would do so after the election;
- Stated that the Russian dictator who has supported the killing of thousands of innocents in Syria is a leader superior to our president;
- Stated that he favors physical torture of our suspected enemies.
Like many others, I was dismayed to see President Obama accept the Republican nominee as president, stating that "the people have spoken." In fact, when the final popular voting results were reported, it became obvious that the people had spoken — but no one was listening.
If all of the states had taken the route of Maine and Nebraska, which allocate electoral votes by the actual voting data, we would have a truly democratic process; the people's voice would be fairly represented. In contrast, the states that allocate electoral votes under the "winner take all" principle expressly ignore the votes of significant parts of their electorate. The equal power of the vote is meant to be ingrained in all of us. This principle is borne out in elections for local representatives, state officials, school budgets, boards of education, organizational officers — in almost every part of our social fabric, it seems, except for the election of the president of the United States.
During the drafting of the 12th amendment, Madison warned against giving power to "a group of citizens who have a common interest in some proposal that would either violate the rights of other citizens or would harm the nation as a whole." If the electoral college accepts a person with demonstrably inadequate qualifications, those fears will have materialized. On Dec. 19, the electors will cast their votes to determine who leads our nation. If they do not accept their constitutional responsibility, to ensure "that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications," then they have made a mockery of the founders' intent.

A house is insufficient without the benefit of restrooms, laundry, kitchens, and other utilities. This suggests they will contain their reasonable share of outlets to get rid of waste from lavatories, toilets, showers, tubs, kitchen sinks and laundry tubs. For the convenience of using all these facilities it is crucial that all these drainage devices be operating at their finest. Related: How Do Water Heaters Catch Fire Best Plumber Dieterich Illinois

Life can end up being extremely troublesome when these drains pipes and drains get obstructed. When they backup and overflow into a bathroom or other living spaces, they can trigger a great deal of mess, smell and cause unsanitary and unhealthy conditions. Line stoppages in drains and other drain pipelines can be an outcome of excessive grease from a cooking area, which attracts other dirt and ends up being a mass that congests the pipes. Making use of health products, particularly by females, which when flushed down toilets can lead to blockages. Inappropriate use of a waste disposal unit unit can lead to pipes getting choked. Sewer lines going through gardens can get affected by tree roots, which can then harm the pipelines or cause blockages. Mud and yard waste can build up in sewers and build up into clogs that need to be cleared. home depot Dieterich
Locating Blockages
While sinks are quickly cleared with the use of plungers or other cleaning products, it is when the blockage leads to drains and drain lines that you need to employ the specialists. Many business which do this sort of work have rodding equipment that assists remove the blocks and permit clogged up material to be cleared. However before use these, they need to study the scenario and diagnose the problem, so that they can come to the right solution for the ills affecting that clogged drain. They will first understand the design of all the pipes, the source of the waste water, and the fixtures that are affected by the clogged up line. They will then identify the area of the block, and how it can best be approached. Where this is not easily determined, they will open manholes to assist in identifying the place. Where sewers are not accessible, they might even reduce video camera equipment that can lead them to take a look at the inside of the sewage system to identify the culprit area. Related: How Do Water Heaters Catch Fire Dieterich
Sewage System Line Rodding
Once this area is figured out, they will need to choose the best area for the sewer rodding. They will find the biggest clear out spot closest to the clog and where they can lower the cutter head of the rodding equipment, so that it needs the minimum power. Rodding machines come with different cable televisions, power capabilities and cutting heads and experience in clearing lots of such clogs, will enable the technician to figure out exactly what action has to be taken to remove the clogs from the drain in your home or business. They might choose to drain pipes out a sewer prior to they start rodding, as sometimes water can contribute to damage of pipes, throughout rodding operations.
As soon as the rodding operations are begun, it is continued until the cable television with the cutter head reaches a clear part of the sewer or approximately the main city trunk line. This range is noted, and the cutter is once again drawn out and sent out through once again to see if other hard areas exist and need cleaning operations. The resulting debris has then to be extracted and taken a look at to determine its nature. The presence of wood may indicate tree roots and the property owner will be asked to do something about it to prevent reoccurrence of the issue.
Sewage system line blockages can likewise quickly removed by jetting of water at really high pressure, if the place of the block is certainly understood. This method does help to flush out the whole line and tidy it for further usage. frozen pipes Dieterich
Drain pipes Rodding
How drain rodding works is a drain rod is placed into a blocked drain and after that basically, it is pumped even out and "eyelashed around" in the drain in an attempt to remove whatever is obstructing it. If you are attempting to do this yourself, the danger is that the DIY variation can easily and screw itself if the person utilizing this tool unintentionally twists it in an anticlockwise instructions. This typically leads to the sections of drain rods and screwing themselves and becoming stuck in the drain you are attempting to tidy and become lost for ever and you needing to pay the costs of the lost equipment. This is most likely the biggest reason that most people would rather greater a plumbing business to do the rodding for them. Related:Frozen Pipes Dieterich
What You Need To Know If You Smell Sewer Gases Dieterich
Modern plumbing has a variety of techniques for keeping drain gasses out of a house. One of the most popular is the P trap. P traps are crucial since sewage system gasses can be hazardous to your health in addition to odor bad.
The P trap efficiency at trapping sewage system gasses is all due to its style. It starts by going strait below the drain, then it has a p shaped bend on the bottom, and it ends with a horizontal pipe after it curves up. This p shaped bend is suggested to trap a little water in the pipe. This water imitates a barrier, keeping any sewage system gasses from entering the room.
P traps are typically discovered in restrooms on any drain that leads to the sewer. This consists of showers, sinks, and flooring drains. Toilets utilize a modified P trap referred to as an S trap that is suggested to make sure that wast leaves the toilet while leaving some water to obstruct the gasses.
If you smell sewer gas in a space with a P trap, it is likely that the trap is empty of water. to examine this you have to do is shine a flashlight at it. If it does not show back, it is empty and you need to add some water to refill it. If this does not work then you might need to call a plumber to repair the P trap or another pipeline.
If drain line blockages recur within a short time of the rodding operations, it can suggest other issues that may not be quickly fixed by this operation. It would then be essential to diagnose the entire network, user practices and other reasons that do trigger drain obstructions. At times, it might be needed to change a drain to get a long-term service. Luckily, nowadays there are companies that can undertake this operation through trench-less replacement of pipes, so that the work is done without any hassle to the property owner.

In the present study 12 impurities of bisoprolol fumarate (BISO) and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) were separated simultaneously in a single HPLC method. Out of these 12 impurities, five are potential degradants, which are validated as per The International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) guidelines. As the two active drug substances BISO and HCTZ have different solubilities and polarities, the most critical parameters in resolving the components from each other are pH, temperature, and solvents. The method is precise (RSD < 1.0%), accurate, linear (r2 > 0.999), robust, and stability indicating in the range of limit of quantification (LOQ) to 150%. The HPLC method is then migrated to ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) to further reduce the run time and solvent consumption, and increase the sample throughput.

Stainless steel cookware
Choosing Protected Cookware Interprets To Healthier Food
We pick with great treatment what we consume; It is crucial to select the right kind of cookware with which we cook our food. With countless solutions readily available on the market, deciding on secure cookware is definitely a problem. Earlier periods saw just acquiring and using cookware . It is actually not that straightforward any longer. The potential for the harmful poisons that may come from the cookware that we routinely use and the effects of their accumulation in our overall body is really a frightening prospect.
Several elements happen into engaging in when selecting cookware. The material that the cookware is made from, its form, measurement, and so forth, are a few of them. The cookware needs to be ready to perform warmth competently and one particular should not be ingesting toxic chemicals as well as the cooked food.
Copper clad, copper clad, ceramic, anodized aluminum, and many others. Comprehensive underneath are characteristics with the cookware that we typically use:
Stainless Metal: It is one of the hottest choices as a consequence of its toughness, safety, and price. It really is effortless to wash also. It's non-breakable and scratch resistant. There is no leaching of any kind and thus will not alter the flavor on the foodstuff that it cooks. About the flip facet, it's large and distributes warmth inconsistently.
Aluminum: Aluminum is often a material routinely useful for making cookware. It conducts heat quickly and is particularly cost effective. Even though it has been popular for a variety of causes, new findings indicate that aluminum leaches when it comes to temperatures, when it comes to connection with acid-bearing foodstuff, and when cooked food stuff is saved in aluminum vessels for Very long amounts of time. Alzheimer's Ailment Alzheimer's Ailment Alzheimer's Ailment Alzheimer's Ailment Alzheimer's Ailment Anodized aluminum and enameled aluminum are protected but leach with age and don and tear. Aluminum toxicity is thought to induce memory reduction, liver and kidney issues, softening of bones, etcetera.
Cast Iron: Solid iron is fairly safe for cooking. It's got to get it right to prevent it from rusting. It retains heat however it's not a superb conductor. Cast iron cookware is a low-priced and safe alternative.
Teflon-coated Cookware: However well known, this type of cookware has become located to generally be unsafe simply because they emit toxic fumes that come with carcinogens when they're heated higher than a certain temperature. Some compounds have purportedly been present in the natural environment without acquiring damaged down and a few other folks while in the human blood.
Ceramic: Ceramic cookware is often a protected medium to prepare dinner in. Even so, make certain the ceramic coating is freed from guide. Glass, lead-free ceramic and clay can be used in baking ovens.

People criticised Santa at the Reindeer Parade in Truro this evening, saying he wasn't like the traditional Santa Claus.
Thousands of people showed for this years event, which marked the beginning of Truro's late night shopping.
38 year old, Camborne man – Barry Ball was disappointed with the event, he said "I spent half my giro getting here this evening, caught the train up from Camborne and you know how hard that is on a Wednesday. Got up here, queued for bleddy ages. When I got to Santa, he looked all healthy, sober and slim – what was that all about! It was so busy as well, I had to push past three families with their young children just so I could get a high five!"
Barry's opinion wasn't shared by all, Sandra from Chacewater had a lovely time, she said "It was such a wonderful evening, so many people enjoying themselves and it wasn't too cold, or wet! I'm really in the Christmas spirit now! I can't wait to sit at home on Christmas day feeling fat full and bloated."

I guess this is for Indonesian high schooler only, since I don't know about non-Indonesian people whether they have psychological check first to determine their strong points or just take whatever they want (or parents told them to). Usually in these months I happen to read some articles or journals in tumblr or blogs or twitter… or anywhere everywhere in real life or not, where they ask audience or readers about this kind of topic regardless them (the readers) know their ability or not. What makes them so hyped about this? Of course, "college will determine what you will be in the future".
Unfortunately no. College, especially undergraduate degree, will only provide you the basic foundation of a certain field you choose to attend to. If you say "engineering" is specific major, my answer is yes and no. Yes, it is based on science and you will meet mathematics everywhere – engineering is said to be a home for people-with-no-live and students-who-never-sleep (Trust Me! I'm an Engineer!). But not that specific. What kind of engineering will you do? Biology? Physics? Chemistry? Electrical? Machinery? Avionics? Moreover, when you choose, say, Chemical Engineering, what speciality would you want to polish? There are chemical engineering for process, polymers, material engineering, and so on.
Today's high school students are divided by three types: 1) students who know what they want and is getting vast supports from everyone, 2) students who know what they want but external factor such as parents forbide them to attend to major they want to pick, 3) students who don't know what they want so they do what their parents or society would choose, such as a silly reason "because my friend attend the same major too!" or money matter, 4) students who don't know what they want and get blank idea. Of course, first option is the most desired by everyone. But sadly, "to know what they want" is quite problematic especially for high school students. Here are some tips based on my experience:
Someone said, having a BIG DREAM is one BIG STEP to success.
In my childhood, I want to become a doctor (TYPICAL!) because doctor looks cool and get much money. Then in junior high, I want to become a writer or an artist or a mangaka (TYPICAL! at least for a people who love drawing and storytelling) because I want to tell people my story. Then in senior high, I'm not sure I will draw for the rest of my life, first because of my parents and second because of job (well, artists gain little money), so I think I will try chemical engineering.
I have a dream. First dream is a bit insane and impossible (most of you are. Kindly tell me if your first childhood dream is to walk on the moon or to be a Superman) then through time, it loses its insanity and getting real. Now you know your dream, then let's go to the next step.
To know one's ability and strong points are important.
Sun Tzu (Art of War) once said that to win a battle, we have to know ourselves and our enemies. Everyone have at least one strong point or ability… it is called talent. Holy Scripture says something about talent, right? Three servants are given (unit money) by their master before the master went overseas. One is given 5 (unit money), another is 2 (unit money), and the last is 1 (unit money). The first two servants give the money to be (used as initial modal) and they present their works to their master – and the master praises them. What about the last servant? He digs the dirt and bury his (unit money), and the master gets really angry at him. What's the point of this parable?
I believe each of us is given this (unit money) called talent according to our capability. Each of us. Even the last (idiot servant) is given one. We all have talents that is given from The Lord from the very start, with no exception. And this is what you all should take note on. All we have to do is to make use of this ability so in the end it will multiply. The one becomes two or hundred, the five becomes twenty five or sixty hundred and twenty five, and so on. So, the next job you have to do is to know your talent.
If I am allowed to boast, I am a type of person that "knows everything master of nothing" – in short, a generalist. From childhood when I dreamt to be a doctor, I don't know what my talent is. I just wanted to do it because it looked cool. Then I happened to know that I loved drawing and people noticed my ability. This is also important: talent is not only doing whatever you like but also recognized by people. If you love doing something but people don't recognize you, alas! But this first talent had blocked by my parents, so I should search for another option whilst I still clang to this one. For me, each talents given by the Lord should be sharpened and used for His Glory, so whatever the case, I will never abandon one (and talent discovery is hard too). Another option I have is science. I love reading encyclopedia on science or something like "What if Einstein…." although I didn't do any good in science classes except chemistry hahaha. I despised physics the most, and math didn't make any sense. So I choose chemical engineering, because I thought I will get job quite easily since every industries need one and I got much money than artists. Parents allowed me. Ha!
But haven't I told you I still clang to my love for drawing? If parents couldn't agree with me being digital artist, then they would have no problem with engineering course: architect. So, there were so much major I wanted to attend based on my ability and my dream. To sort them was a bit easy (for easy-going-and-I-don't-really-care person like me): based on universities.
The BIG Name of a university will determine your future, they said.
Part of. Well, who wouldn't? Big and famous universities mean the quality of their teachers, their networks, learning processes, and facility. The greater the university, the bigger chance you will end up in your dream job. If you are accepted by MIT where is infamous of their knowledge, why you need to bother with smaller ones (except for…err, money matter and external factors)? Kinda discriminating smaller universities, but it is better to sort your priority.
I took 3 different university examinations. Because I aimed to be a chemical engineer, I took (infamous) Bandung Institute of Technology as my first priority: first was Faculty of Technical Engineering and the second was Pharmacy (still hadn't given up for being a doctor, eh). The second, in case I failed the test, I applied for Parahyangan University for its renowed architectural major and the second was still chemical engineering (hadn't given up to that one ha!). The third as a back up in case I failed the test, I choose Maranatha University for digital design and computer engineering (that was unexpected major came from my pops). I passed the first priority yay!
TOO DAMN EARLY HAPPINESS, BRETHREN! Because technically we freshmen were sorted based on faculty, our major will be determined by our first year's GPA. Hella competition for us, because chemical engineering's seats were 200 and the leftover would be dumped to engineering physics. What the hell is engineering physics? Haven't I told you I despised physics? It was abstract and it was physics. Because it was physics, it would never be my aim.
In the end, GOD is the One who decides.
Engineering physics is said to be 'leftovers' for our faculty since it contains physics and it is abstract (not to mention we don't know what kind of job an engineering physics will do in the future. a researcher or teacher may be?) But at the second semester when I know this major from visiting laboratories and their stories, I unconsciously defend it when my friends said something bad to it. And I told God that it was up to Him to decide, whatever the path I would never regret. And yeah. My GPA lacked 0.04 to enter chemical engineering *laugh crying*.
Did I regret? Never! It was a blessing and I realized that I had no specialty on anything – just because I kinda love them all. I like reading books about plants and biology, I take interest in being a doctor, I also read encyclopedia on universe in my church second floor library in junior high, and I read a lot of strange books such as Shakespeare, classics, and Agatha Christie, plus I love drawing and I can make a game with the help of game editors like Ren'PY or RPGMaker, I do maintenance tapping on my old television[?], I enjoy sightseeing electronic shops better than clothing stores, I browse wikipedia from "world war 2" and ended up in "time paradox" (bless wikipedia for providing us links!). The major suited me the most is covering all of these: engineering physics. As one's said, engineering physicists can do whatever they want to do. From making a line-follower robot, angklung-robot, UAV, EEG-ECG-EMG and human's brain, control system for industry, building physics and acoustics and design a concert hall with CATT, ultrasonic for quality assessment in avionic industry, material engineering and nanotechnology as the frontier engineering, heat transfer and air conditioner and energy conservation, laser, optics, and spectroscopy. Only basic provided in class, and I was free to dig deeper into whatever I want (I guess it makes sense because I wandered from Instrumentation Control and Automation laboratory to Computational Material Design). We can suggest insane research too to our professors haha – Rena's thesis on perfect pitch observed with EEG is new to anyone. And I feel very satisfied when I research and find something extraordinary that people hasn't found (minus the stress given by deadline). My current dream is to be a researcher. But to attain it, I need to sharpen my ability… and until I take my master degree, I'll play and sharpen my other 'talent' too, so it won't get rusty (plus, I get the money too) :9 But where I will attend my master degree or when or what, I'll trust God on this. All I have to do is to silently listen to His answer and take all the opportunity He showed me. If it is JAIST, let it be. If it'll be ITB, let it be. My senior ever said this to me that to know God's path for you, you're enjoying His decision, not suffer on it.
The conclusion is:
Know your dream, know your talent… polish it in a good environment until it multiplies, and let God do the rest for you. If He chooses different path for you, do it without regret – you may find something beautiful behind His plan.
Simple tips for you people who are still searching for best decision. Let God do the rest must be placed above all the tips, though. Happy searching, may be? :9 I'm searching for mine too.

Scarifying and Verti-Cutting are also forms of aeration as they remove thatch which stops water getting to the soil.

My sister and I shared massive migraines but I never really though of much of it, I think my sister felt pretty much the same way, because it seemed to run in our family. One day my sister end up in the hospital due to a medical event which led to a cat scan. It showed a tumor on her brain.
She ended up having to have brain surgery to remove the tumor. She lost her short-term memory. My brother in-law, then boy friend, was at and is still at my sisters side caring and loving her; he is a model that I think all men strive to be, at least I know I do.
These are two amazing people and I am proud of them but, as sad as it is to say I need to admit that not knowing my baby sister as well as a brother should is on my list of one of my biggest regrets in life.

Conor Murray wins Rugby Writers of Ireland player of the year award
Munster were also voted team of the year last night following a traumatic season

Conor Murray's outstanding displays over last season and the summer earned him the Rugby Writers of Ireland player of the year award on Tuesday night in Dublin.
Murray can add the trophy to his Rugby Players of Ireland award, which he earned in May. To complete the trilogy, Munster were also voted team of the year at Tuesday night's awards following a traumatic season during which coach Anthony Foley tragically died on a trip to France.
Munster last year made it to the Pro12 final and lost to Saracens in the Champions Cup semi-final in which Murray did not play.
But the scrumhalf's personal contribution was standout and after a successful Lions Tour in June he made himself firm favourite for the Rugby Writer's award.
"It was a really good year," said Murray. "You find out a lot about yourself and your team when you go through something like that because at the time it was really tough.
"So, I think it's a well-deserved award for our team, our organisation. Obviously, losing Axel, because that's what this is about really, it left a massive hole and everyone just pulled in together and took up the mantle of things he might have done.
"Or if something needed to be done, people just bought into it unbelievably. Not that we hadn't before but there was something extra last year. It was a year and a season you'll never forget."
Last season was one in which Murray picked up a concerning injury against Wales in the Six Nations. He hurt a nerve in his neck and was sidelined just as coach Warren Gatland mulled over his Lions selection.
"That was quite a worry for me. It was a nerve injury in my neck and I lost a bit of power in my left arm," explained Murray.
"With nerve injuries, you just have to wait and see if the power comes back. The physios can't help you too much. They're doing as much as they can but you come in on a Monday and you just have to see how it is and if it's not stronger you just have to wait some more."
Murray added that at 28-years-old he just wants to keep improving.
"Awards are really nice but I wouldn't get fooled by them," he said. "This is nice, it's nice to reflect on and nice for the family to have on the mantelpiece at home. But the show must go on."

What Makes Me Tick
Humans are motivated by any number of different ambitions. For me though, exploring this tiny planet, learning new things, and sharing what I've learned drives me everyday
This rightfully encompasses the human spirit. Had we not ever left the comfort of our caves eons ago we would have never gotten to where we are today. I love exploring, be it the world around me or the entire field of a fascinating subject. There's nothing better than diving head first into a new world.
I believe a good day is one where I've learned something new be it in the many fields of science, history, or even my own personal strengths and weaknesses. How could someone not want to learn more about De Broglie-Bohm pilot wave theory in relation to quantum realism, am I right?
Sharing the knowledge of generations has made our society flourish like no other. I believe it's our obligation to teach one another all that we've obtained from our experience in this unfortunately fleeting existence. By no means am I a pessimist but it does make the effort to share knowledge all that more important knowing someday we might be able to.

Gunnar Porsche Racing 917-001, we eliminated the "S" on the tag. The "S" actually meant "Street" or it could have meant "Special". I guess it could have meant "Shit" too. Anyway, we decided to omit the "S".
This is the form to make the dimples in the oil tank.
It's a two-piece Delron press mold.
Put a piece of aluminum in it, shove it in a press, give it a few ton, and bingo- one panel that is original to Porsches.
The screen is made for foaming oil. When the oil comes from the cooler sometimes it's aerated so as the oil spills through the screen is calms it down back to a solid.
Here's the bottom end of the tank. You can see the dimple.
Here's another view. The tape protects it as it's being worked on.
The aluminum is pop riveted and glued to give the screen strength.
Then the screen is welded into the tank.
Here's another shot of the top of the tank.
A close up.
One of the return fittings.
You can see the dump neck on the inside. The slot in the bottom of the tube makes for a quick exit of the oil.
This is a baffle that will be installed in the tank.
The baffle keeps the oil from sloshing out of a certain area.
This is the first part of the oil pickup. The baffle keeps the oil in the bottom of the tank.
The pickup is now finished with the screen installed. Porsche always uses this screen method in case there's foreign matter coming from the oil system.
Bret will weld this in the tank.
The finished product.

One thing that I have learned designing in what is mostly a solo environment is that inspiration is a very hard thing to find. If you work as a freelancer or in an environment devoid of other designers you know just as well as me that creativity is something that has to come from somewhere. Working in an environment with limited access to other designers can really make it hard to break out of design block if you are not aware of what works for you. With the large amount of web design I have been doing lately I have found that this medium suffers the most from group thought. So called "inspirational" sites are everywhere to be found however they only seem to perpetuate current trends, so where do I turn, here are a few tips that I personally use.
No one can remember everything they see or read so being a collector of things that are well designed can be a great way to ensure you don't forget those great design ideas. You should think of this collection of designed materials as a set of visual notes, or as a reference. This is a great way to hang on to concepts or ideas that you may find interesting but that do not support the projects you are currently working on. Remember that you are not copying these items. Any Mac monkey can copy a layout, but it takes a designer to apply them in a new context. Luckily for you and me, most people are giving away these samples for free so this is a very economical way to find inspiration as well!
History is full of great visual vernacular that can be applied to your designs. From art deco all the way back to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics these elements can be applied to designs to add historical context or can be used to create modern revivals. Often times I find that it is the contemporary modifications that you make to these historical aesthetics that make them appealing and garner attention. Not only will you be wiser for learning about history, but you will begin to see a relationship between current design practices and the aesthetic choices of the past.
For me inspiration comes from looking at the design of other mediums or formats. When I am working on a new website I tend to open up a copy of print or STEP and see what the latest articles are about, or review the pieces I have collected over the past couple of months. Usually by observing great design outside the medium I am focusing on I am able to apply design principles that are not like current trends and are still appealing. This also often helps take my mind off of the project, which is usually when I am able to find a great solution.
What are your tricks?
What do you do to avoid stealing sheep? How do you find inspiration, why not share it with the community?

They could at least offer an option to nuke the ad's out of content on the PVR side of things automatically for a small fee. They obviously know when they were played out do have the timestamps for it, send those down to authorised boxes and they can just delete that part of the recording or skip it on playback.
Might not sit well with their customers tho.

Vaginal bleeding after sex (also known as postcoital bleeding) is not an entirely uncommon situation among menstruating women, and it's even more common in postmenopausal women. While the bleeding can sometimes be distressing, the cause is relatively benign in most cases.
Bleeding during pregnancy is common, Some women don't realize they are pregnant because they mistake this bleeding for a light period. Don't use a tampon or have sex while you are still.

FBI Releases New Data on Hate Crimes Showing Increase in Anti-Jewish Crimes
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has unveiled a new website corresponding to the agency's release of a new dataset breaking down hate crimes in the United States in 2017.
The data comes from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting, which it calls the "national repository for crime data collected by law enforcement" with a primary objective of generating "reliable information for use in law enforcement administration, operation, and management," with the data updated annually.
Across 2017, the FBI reports 7,106 "single-bias" incidents against 8,493 individuals, and 69 "multiple-bias" incidents against 335 victims, with 60.3% of the crimes perpetrated against individuals, 36.9% targeted at property (such as churches and other places of worship, with nearly 5% of attacks fitting this mold), and 2.8% termed as "crimes against society."
Of the religiously-biased hate crimes, which accounted for nearly 1,700 of the incidents, 58.1% stemmed from anti-Jewish sentiment, and 18.7% from anti-Islamic sentiment, with race, ethnicity, ancestry, and religious background combining to represent motivating factors behind more than 80% of recorded hate crimes.
The data is collected under the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which was passed in 1990 and revised in 2009 following the national attention received by the case of Matthew Shepard.
"This report is a call to action—and we will heed that call," said DOJ Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, who recently assumed the position vacated by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
"The Department of Justice's top priority is to reduce violent crime in America, and hate crimes are violent crimes," Whitaker continued. "They are also despicable violations of our core values as Americans. I am particularly troubled by the increase in anti-Semitic hate crimes—which were already the most common religious hate crimes in the United States—that is well documented in this report. The American people can be assured that this Department has already taken significant and aggressive actions against these crimes and that we will vigorously and effectively defend their rights."

|Azerbaijan is an Islamic former Soviet Republic on the Caspian Sea, an oil rich and strategically important nation that is the key geopolitical power in the Caucasus. Azerbaijan's location has always made it a gateway between east and west, and the country was an important stop on the Silk Route. Over the centuries, Azerbaijan has been incorporated into most major regional empires, including the Russian, Turkish and Persian and has been an independent republic since the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Taking in the stunning Caucasus Mountains to the north, the lush green valleys of the south and large swathes of arid semi-desert in between, Azerbaijan is a beautiful country with superb scenery, although it remains virtually unknown to the average traveller. Visitors usually base themselves in the capital Baku, from where it is easy to visit most of the country's biggest attractions.

|Medical facilities are very limited. It is advisable to carry basic medical supplies. Comprehensive health insurance is recommended and it should include emergency air evacuation coverage. If you require any medication on your travels it is best to bring it with you, in the original packaging, with a signed and dated letter from your doctor detailing exactly what it is and why you need it. Ensure that the medication can be legally imported.
|As a predominately Islamic country, dress should always be conservative: men should wear long pants, and women should keep their arms and legs covered. Respect to religious customs should also be shown during the month of Ramadan. Although homosexuality is legal, public displays of affection should be avoided, particularly outside the capital.
|Travel Tips / Warnings:
|Political gatherings and demonstrations should be avoided. Travellers should only use registered taxis. Avoid travel to Nagorno-Karabakh area. Corruption is a common complaint from tourists. Travellers should carry identification at all times, due to police checks. Although credit cards may be accepted at some establishments, Azerbaijan operates mostly as a cash-only economy. The easiest currencies to exchange are USD, GBP & EURO.
|Duty Free:
|The following goods may be imported into Azerbaijan by persons over 16 years of age without incurring customs duty:
• 3 cartons of cigarettes
• 3L of alcohol
• Goods up to a value of US$1,000 and up to 50kg in weight

Reference costs
Reference costs are the average unit cost to the NHS of providing defined services to NHS patients in England in a given financial year. They show how NHS providers spend money to provide healthcare to patients.
NHS providers submit reference costs annually. The costs are used to inform a number of work streams including the Model Hospital, the Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) programme and national tariff prices. They are a key source of information about the cost of NHS services.
2017/18 reference cost data
We have produced a short document of highlights and analysis and a guide to using the reference cost data.
The reference cost data is then presented in four ways:
- the national schedules of reference costs
- the reference cost index
- the reconciliation statement
- a database of source data
