ClickShare Overview
Wireless presentation systems are an increasing market for offices that require a presentation room where employees or visitors can share content from their device on a communal TV, Projector or Monitor. ClickShare eradicates hefty costs involved with wired set ups and makes the sharing of content via a meeting room display far simpler and user friendly, saving time and increasing engagement.
Share Content Side by Side!
Barco ClickShare enables you to wirelessly send the display content of your computer, laptop or mobile device in High Definition over a WiFi signal to a Display or Projector of your choice. Content is shared with a video quality of 30 fps and is accompanied by sound. With its ease of use, multi user support and convenience, it really is the newest development in presentation and collaboration. Differing to other presentation devices which connect to your existing wireless network to send video, ClickShare creates it's own standalone secure WiFi signal for devices to connect to. This has a few benefits; it creates a more secure way to share content and reducing the chances of content being spied on, doesn't affect bandwidth or connectivity to your existing Wireless network and avoids security issues that come with visitors connecting to your current network.
Depending on your ClickShare device, differing numbers of people can be connected to your base unit. To compare the ClickShare products and for information on how many users can be connected to each model, please view the comparison table.

Screen Mirroring With Just 1 Click!
A typical ClickShare set up consists of a base unit, ClickShare buttons and an existing Projector, monitor or TV. The base unit is plugged into the mains and also connected via a video cable to the main meeting room display. This creates wireless access for sharing video content. USB buttons are plugged into a free USB port on your device, or for mobile devices and tablets, an app is downloaded. This creates a wireless method for sharing video via the meeting screen and video is ready to be shared at the click of a button.
ClickShare makes connecting to the meeting room's video system as simple as clicking a button. On computers and laptops, a small wireless USB button is plugged into a spare USB port and on iOS and Android devices, a small app is downloaded. Once the USB button has connected to the base.

The BBC reports on the Chinese government's efforts to slow down the overheating housing market:
New measures introduced in the past few weeks restrict mortgage lending, increase land supply and stop developers from hoarding apartments to push up prices.
In the biggest cities like Beijing and Shanghai, prices have risen so much that for many people most properties are now unaffordable.
But analysts say house prices are unlikely to fall this year, despite the tightening measures adopted by the government.
Last week the annual report on the state of the real estate industry by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences warned that rocketing house prices had become the most important obstacle to that sector's healthy development.

"I will give them an undivided heart." Eze 11:19 NIV
Successful people allow their God-given passion and talent to guide them in life. They have a single focus and an undivided heart. God doesn't create you to be talented in an area, then ask you to give yourself to some unrelated area. There's always a potential alignment of talent and passion, if you have the courage to pursue your life's purpose and take risks. Po Bronson, author of What Should I Do With My Life? writes: "I'm convinced that business success in the future starts with the question, 'What should I do with my life?' Yes, that's right…people don't succeed by migrating to a 'hot' industry or by adopting a particular career-guiding mantra. They thrive by focusing on the question of who they really are—and connecting to work they truly love (and, in so doing, unleashing a productive and creative power they never imagined)." Carly Fiorina said, "Love what you do, or don't do it…Make the choice to do something because it engages your heart as well as your mind. Make the choice because it engages all of you."
Don't become a slave to someone else's dream, because once you own a dream that dream will own you. Being a slave to someone else's dream quickly becomes a nightmare. Paul writes: "But they are only comparing themselves with each other…How ignorant…We will boast only about what has happened within the boundaries of the work God has given us" (2Co 10:12-13 NLT). If you are confused, out of focus, or going in circles, pray, "Lord, give me a clear vision and an undivided heart." That's a prayer God will answer.

Injured in an accident?
When a person is injured, tort law will govern whether that person may be compensated for the injury, the amount of compensation that may be recovered, as well as which parties will be liable for the injury. Tort law, also known as injury law, comes from federal and state codes, as well as judicial opinions from prior cases. The amount of damages a plaintiff to a personal injury action may receive can be determined by statute, or by a judge or jury. Typical recoveries may include compensatory damages (e.g., lost wages, medical bills, etc.) and in particularly egregious situations, punitive damages. In some cases, a plaintiff may recover certain non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, loss of consortium, or loss of enjoyment of life.
Personal injury lawyers help injured people seek compensation from those who have harmed them. Some injury attorneys focus on a specific type of case, such as truck accidents, car accidents, slip-and-fall injuries, medical malpractice or products liability cases. If a person is injured as a result of criminal behavior, it may be appropriate to pursue a personal injury lawsuit in addition to the state's criminal investigation or prosecution.
Many personal injury attorneys offer a free consultation to evaluate your claim.
Negligence: Failure to use care which a reasonable and prudent person would use under similar circumstances.
Joint and several liability: A legal doctrine that makes each of the parties who are responsible for an injury, liable for all the damages awarded in a lawsuit if the other parties responsible cannot pay.

Prosecutors finally want to hear from Jeffrey Epstein's victims
More than a decade after federal prosecutors gave a secret plea deal to a suspected child sex trafficker, the government finally wants to hear from his victims, indicating on Friday that they wish to interview an unspecified number of women who were molested by Jeffrey Epstein when they were teenagers.
U.S. Attorney Byung "B.J." Pak of the Northern District of Georgia is asking a federal judge for a 60-day period to consult with Epstein's victims, followed by a lengthy briefing schedule that, according to lawyers for two of the victims, could delay justice for months if not longer.
The moves come in a civil lawsuit that seeks to undo the plea bargain in the criminal case against Epstein based on the fact that the victims were not consulted.
If Pak is successful in obtaining a delay, lawyers for the victims have proposed to use that time deposing critical stakeholders, including former Miami federal prosecutor Alexander Acosta, who helped negotiate Epstein's controversial plea deal, called a non-prosecution agreement, in 2008.
While the victims' lawyers do not oppose giving Epstein's victims a voice, they say Pak's proposal is so open-ended and vague that it obscures the fact that the government continues to propose solutions that will benefit Epstein, not his victims.
"There is no basis for continuing to delay the rights that federal law affords to Jane Doe No. 1 and and Jane Doe No. 2 because the government now wants to talk to two other victims, or 10 other victims or 80 other victims,'' said Jack Scarola, of the legal team that represents Jane Does 1 and 2 and which brought the court challenge. "Every victim's right exists independent of the interests of other victims. And there's no way 80 young women are going to agree on what they want under the existing circumstances.''
Scarola said the government first needs to void Epstein's non-prosecution agreement, which a federal judge in February engineered illegally.
Epstein, a 66-year-old multimillionaire hedge fund manager, sexually assaulted countless underage girls at his Palm Beach mansion in the 2000s. Instead of being federally prosecuted on sex trafficking charges and sent to prison, Epstein was allowed to quietly plead guilty in state court to minor prostitution charges. He served 13 months in the Palm Beach County jail and was given liberal work release that allowed him to come and go from the jail almost daily. He was freed in 2009.
While he lists his permanent residence as his private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, he still spends a great deal of time at his mansions in New York and Palm Beach, and recently purchased another larger island that he is developing in the Caribbean.
In February, after more than a decade of civil litigation over the plea deal, a federal judge ruled that the government, led by Acosta, violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by giving Epstein and an unspecified number of unidentified co-conspirators immunity without informing his victims about the deal.
Acosta, who is now President Donald Trump's secretary of labor, has come under scrutiny by Congress and the Justice Department after the Miami Herald in November published a series, "Perversion of Justice," that detailed how Acosta and other prosecutors worked to conceal the plea agreement and the scope of Epstein's crimes to avoid public scrutiny, and to prevent his victims from opposing the deal. The Herald's investigation identified 80 women who were possible victims of Epstein, located around the country and the world.
At the time the government disposed of the case in 2008, the FBI had identified three dozen girls, most of whom were 13 to 16 years old when they were recruited by Epstein and others to give him massages that turned into sex acts. The recruitment resembled a pyramid scheme.
Judge Kenneth A. Marra in February instructed federal prosecutors and attorneys representing the two victims who sued the government to confer and come up with a possible resolution to the decade-old civil case. If they are unable to agree, the judge has indicated he will hear arguments and rule on the case.
After his order, the case was transferred from the Southern District of Florida, where it was originally investigated, to Georgia. Pak, a Republican who inherited the case, was nominated as U.S. Attorney by President Trump in 2017 after serving as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives.
Thus far, it appears the two sides are still far from agreeing on anything.
Noting that the civil case involved only two of Epstein's victims, Pak said it would be incumbent upon the government to try to speak to as many other women as possible to determine the best resolution to the matter.
"The victims' views and concerns are critical to inform the government's recommendation of an appropriate remedy, particularly given the sensitive nature of the crime at issue,'' Pak wrote, later noting that "any rescission of the agreement and subsequent investigation may trigger unintended consequences for victims who have attempted to readjust their lives a decade after Epstein's conviction for a state offense.''
Pak suggested that some victims may not want the case reopened at all, given the trauma that could occur as a result of revisiting the case.
"Providing a reasonable period for the government to speak with victims is also important because both petitioners and the government lack clarity about what victims want and how they may be affected by this matter,'' he wrote.
But in a separate filing, lawyers for the victims have accused the government of further delaying justice for the victims. For example, Pak is demanding that the victims' lawyers go first — in other words, they want the victims' attorneys to first tell the government what resolution they want.
But court records show that the victims' lawyers did this in court pleadings in 2011, and most recently, in a pleading the lawyers filed in March.
"After more than 10 years of litigation, the government's suggestion that it should postpone explaining its proposed remedy is a transparent effort to do nothing but cause further delay,'' wrote lawyers Bradley Edwards, Paul Cassell and Scarola, in a response filed Friday.
Scarola said the government has yet to identify which victims they intend to interview, what they plan to ask them and, more important, what they plan to tell the victims.
"They know that different victims have very different interests. There is going to be large group who will respond by saying 'I have buried these experiences deep in the past and I don't want to do anything at all to unearth all the hurt and pain it has taken me this long to process.'
"And there are victims who are going to say 'I am outraged and I am prepared today to do what's necessary so that he be held criminally responsible.' Remember these victims were 13, 14, and 15 — and were not prepared to confront their abuser. But now at age 30, they may be more than anxious to step forward,'' Scarola said.
Some of those new victims may decide that they are entitled to civil compensation — only a fraction of them received compensation under the non-prosecution agreement, he explained.
Under the plea deal, 34 women were listed as victims and designated to receive civil settlements from Epstein of about $150,000 each. Several of the victims, however, elected to disregard the settlements offered in the agreement, and hired their own lawyers. Many of them received far greater settlements, a few of them in the millions.
Epstein was not part of the civil lawsuit, but he is listed as an intervenor to the case. His attorneys have previously said it would be unjust to subject Epstein to a new investigation or trial since he complied with all aspects of his plea agreement.
Acosta, who has been questioned by Congress about the deal in recent weeks, has maintained that the deal was not only fair but aggressively negotiated by his team, resulting in Epstein having to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. There is no evidence, however, that any agency officially is assigned to monitor whether he is complying with his registration.

PT that's an excellent question, imo it will be Nebraska. Michigan must play fOSU, Mich St and Pn St every year. Much hard to go undefeated with that group. Now if fOSU and Pn St break the rules again and are ineligible Meatchicken has a much better chance
I'm going with my gut reaction, and since Harbaugh gives me intestinal discomfort, I'm betting on Nebraska.
Going with Riley, east div. Is alot tougher to get through with urban

text: Last night the Wake County School Board re-elected board chairman Ron Margiotta. The board also elected John Tedesco as board vice-chair – after 56 ballots. Yes, I said fifty six. WRAL broadcasts board meetings so let's just say it probably wasn't a "made for TV" event. In the end, Debra Goldman who has broken ranks with other four Republicans cast the deciding vote for Tedesco. I'm not going to waste any time detailing the obvious splits on the board….Suffice it to say it's ironic how that final vote may help to heal one the board's biggest rifts. … I guess a lot can happen after fifty-six ballots…..


text: Canada's on border patrol 5:00 AM PDT 8/13/2007 by Etan Vlessing , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Alliance Atlantis safeguards sought Canadian broadcast unions and guilds are warning that an American company could control one of the major domestic broadcasters here if the country's TV watchdog OKs the takeover of Alliance Atlantis Communications by CanWest Global Communications and equity partner Goldman Sachs & Co. "If the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) ap-proves this transaction, then an American corporation will have a large stake and powerful voice in what Canadians can watch and when," Maureen Parker, executive director of the Writers Guild of Canada, said Friday in a submission to the CRTC. Ahead of regulatory hearings beginning Sept. 5 that will consider the Alliance Atlantis takeover, the CRTC on Friday received a slew of written interventions. Most of the nearly 200 submissions supported CanWest Global's quest for regulatory approval for its acquisition of Alliance Atlantis' 13 cable channels. Many came from domestic producers dependent on both CanWest Global and Alliance Atlantis to buy and air their content. The CAN$2.3 billion ($2 billion) takeover, unveiled in January, will see Alliance Atlantis' 13 channels combined with CanWest Global's Global Television network to create a broadcasting powerhouse with two conventional networks, 21 analog and digital specialty channels and a stake in five additional specialty channels. But Canadian guilds pointed to Goldman Sachs' financing of the Alliance Atlantis takeover as bad news for the Canadian TV sector. "If decisions about our broadcasting system are made in corporate boardrooms in New York and Los Angeles, Canadians will lose their cultural sovereignty and national identity," said Stephen Waddell, national executive director of domestic performers union ACTRA. He reflected widespread concern that the investment banking and securities firm's equity stake will give it undue influence over how the Alliance Atlantis cable channels are programmed and run. "Canadian broadcasters, now more than ever, fill our airwaves with American reality programs and dramas in primetime," Waddell said before urging the CRTC to hold the line on foreign encroachment onto the Canadian airwaves. The CRTC, when weighing the Alliance Atlantis takeover, will examine the deal's structure to see who is ultimately left in charge of the new broadcast entity, CanWest or Goldman Sachs. Monique Lafontaine, general counsel at the Directors Guild of Canada, urged the CRTC to uphold the country's foreign ownership rules, which bar American companies or other foreign players from having "effective control" of domestic media assets. "The existing foreign ownership rules must be upheld. No exception should be made," Lafontaine said. The Canadian Media Guild, which represents broadcast journalists and technicians, argued in its intervention that the takeover, if approved, would represent a "significant move toward further concentration of ownership" in the Canadian broadcast sector. The guild called for the CRTC to impose a wall between the Global Television network and the Alliance Atlantis cable channels and for CanWest Global to be compelled to increase its investment in homegrown TV series. Without such protections, the CMG argues the domestic broadcast industry will suffer "a loss of distinct outlets for independent producers to sell their work, a loss of distinct outlets for advertisers and a loss of media jobs."

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ -- LG Electronics USA today announced the availability of its new fitness products, the LG Lifeband Touch and LG Heart Rate Earphones, just in time for warmer temperatures and summer sports. Both devices feature advanced technology to give users the most accurate analysis of their activity*. The LG Lifeband Touch and LG Heart Rate Earphones will launch exclusively at select Best Buy stores on Sunday, May 18.
"Here at LG, we know that everyone is trying to live a healthier lifestyle, and we want to help make that as easy as possible," said Tim Alessi, Director of New Product Development for Home Entertainment Products, LG Electronics USA. "With the introduction of our wearable fitness products and the new LG Fitness app, users will be able to become more aware of their activity level and make smarter decisions on a daily basis to help impact their overall wellness."
Advanced Technology for Advanced Performance
The LG Lifeband Touch features a bright, OLED touch display that provides easy, real-time access to a full range of fitness data so users can adjust their workout plans. Its flexible wristband display and design deliver all-day comfort. The LG Lifeband Touch also features two sensors—a triple-axis accelerometer and an altimeter—that work together to provide the most accurate data in real time.
Similarly, The LG Heart Rate Earphones provide real-time heart rate data via a comfortable, strap-free headset. The heart rate sensor resides in the earphones themselves, making the experience less intrusive than using a standard chest strap.
Devices That Fit Your Lifestyle
The LG Lifeband Touch gives users the option to check caller ID information on incoming calls and text messages from their smartphones and to control music functions straight from the band's Touch Activity Tracker screen, keeping you connected while delivering an uninterrupted workout experience. The caller ID feature can also be turned off, allowing users to keep themselves in the zone during an intense workout.
The LG Lifeband Touch is compatible with both Android and iOS operating systems** and can be used in tandem with the new LG Fitness app, which offers both a concise summary of the user's workouts and a detailed breakdown of personal goals. It's also compatible with popular fitness apps already on the market—so avid exercisers have the ability to continue using their preferred app of choice.
The Lifeband Touch and LG Heart Rate Earphones will be available exclusively at select Best Buy stores beginning Sunday, May 18. Pre-orders are currently available on BestBuy.com. Beginning mid-June, Lifeband Touch will be available at Fry's, HH Gregg, and Newegg. Suggested prices for the LG Lifeband Touch and LG Heart Rate Earphones are $149.99 and $179.99, respectively.

This article is from the archive of our partner .
Kim Kardashian's Instagram is typically filled with selfies and photos of her baby, North West, but on Thursday she posted the rare political endorsement. It's for Marianne Williamson, a spiritual guru to the stars who's running to replace retiring Rep. Henry Waxman in California's 33rd district.
The Instagram is classic Kim, featuring three shots of herself and one of Williamson. But it shows that Kardashian is becoming increasingly more comfortable talking about her political beliefs, even when others would prefer she didn't.
Her relationship with President Obama, for example, has been particularly fraught. During the 2012 election cycle, Kardashian attended the White House Correspondents Dinner and declared herself a Democrat, even though her parents are Republicans. She also threw down her support for Obama's reelection. She later missed part of fashion week to attend the Democratic National Convention. But despite Kardashian's enthusiasm, the White House wasn't as interested in working with her as they were, say, Beyoncé.
Since then, Kardashian's relationship with fiancé Kanye West has made things more complicated. The president has famously called the rapper a "jackass" twice, and then last August, Obama cited the couple as an example of extreme capitalism. He said in an interview that when he was growing up,
There was not that window into the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Kids weren't monitoring every day what Kim Kardashian was wearing, or where Kanye West was going on vacation, and thinking that somehow that was the mark of success.
West clapped back by claiming that Obama only campaigned with rappers to make it seem like he was "down." Kardashian didn't comment, but her mother, Kris Jenner, talked about the issue on her short-lived talk show.
Today, Kardashian seems less eager to support the Democratic Party and more willing to support individual causes and candidates she identifies with. Williamson, for example, is running as an independent. (And she's actually a pretty serious contender — this Bloomberg profile by Karl Taro Greenfeld details her qualifications beyond "spiritual guru.")
In California, at least, Kardashian's endorsement is welcome. E! News, The Daily Mail, and New York all covered the relatively minor Williamson campaign event. Wonder why?

The only thing left now is a Presidential signature. This is expected in a routine fashion.
This year is an in-between year. Last year the Congress modified the law and turned the Sacagawea dollar into an annual commemorative of Native Americans. Starting in 2009 and for each year thereafter, the reverse will change to commemorate Native American themes. That left 2008 in legal limbo in the Mint's opinion and why the congressional action was requested to prevent any possible problems.
Collectors now will have more reason to collect the series than a simple date change.
In terms of aggregate mintages, the Sac dollar is successful. In terms of usage, it is a curiosity that is primarily reserved for collectors. New designs probably will inspire hobbyists to get reacquainted with the coin.
So this year is your last chance to buy the Sac with the flying eagle on the reverse. It's run is not quite as long as the Standing Liberty quarter, but it is longer than the Flying Eagle cent.
Why do the natural looking flying eagles have shorter runs than the formally posed and heraldic eagles? Good question.

Question: Who played the part of the assistant district attorney on Law & Order before Sam Waterston?
Televisionary: Well, technically there's more than one answer to that. Richard Brooks portrayed ADA Paul Robinette from the time the NBC series debuted until his departure in 1993. However, I assume you mean Michael Moriarty, who left the show after a very public tiff with L&O head man Dick Wolf over the actor's outspoken criticism of then Attorney General Janet Reno and her effort to curb TV violence.
Wolf and NBC West Coast President Don Ohlmeyer took Moriarty along to a meeting with Reno, but they probably could've chosen someone a little better versed in diplomacy. Reno, Moriarty said in a letter urging President Bill Clinton to fire her, is a "mindless attack dog in the spirit of Joe McCarthy." And lest she miss out on that particular opinion, he fired off a one-sentence note directly to her: "The next time you call me to a meeting where only one side gets to ask the questions, send a subpoena."
The result? Hello, ADA Jack McCoy (Waterston).

Atheist activists are lambasting a Wisconsin politician's video for its inclusion of "Merry Christmas" greetings and an invitation to nonbelievers to "consider the hope offered" by Jesus, calling it an "overtly proselytizing message."
The Freedom From Religion Foundation has filed an open records request to determine if government funds were used in the creation of the video, which features Republican state Rep. Scott Allen; it was uploaded to the Wisconsin Assembly Republicans YouTube page on Dec. 18.
"It is unclear at this point whether state resources were used to produce this video, but we have included an open records request to determine if this is the case," the atheist group wrote in a Dec. 24 letter to the Robin Vos, speaker of the Wisconsin House of Representatives. "It's our understanding that these messages, including Allen's proselytizing message, were distributed using state resources, specifically state email, which, if verified, is a misuse of governmental media."
Merry Christmas message from Wisconsin state Rep. Scott Allen (YouTube)
It is the contents of Allen's speech that have infuriated the Freedom From Religion Foundation, with co-president Annie Laurie Gaylor calling the nearly two-minute clip an "egregious misuse of the machinery of the state."
"Merry Christmas to me and my fellow Christians celebrating the birth of our savior, our Emmanuel, well, it is one of the most important celebrations of the year," Allen proclaimed in the video.
He continued, "For those who may watch this who are not Christians, I invite you to consider the hope offered by the prince of peace."
Allen went on to say that he hopes that everyone who viewed the clip would be "filled with joy and high spirits" and that their life would be full of festivities and rejoicing, concluding that the "world needs more love and more peace."
He also read from Hebrews 10, saying, "Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another."
The Freedom From Religion Foundation specifically pushed back against this scripture reading.
"This is actually Hebrews 10:38. The concluding passage, verse 39, proclaims that those who are not Christians — all those who reject Allen's invitation to worship his particular deity — will be destroyed," the letter said "'But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved.' Verse 31 has already warned that 'it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.'"
Watch the video in question below:
It was these elements that were seen as particularly problematic by Gaylor and the Freedom From Religion Foundation.
"We at the Freedom From Religion Foundation complained to Assembly Speaker Robin Vos about this egregious misuse of the machinery of the state — not only to promulgate a legislator's personal beliefs, but to divisively attempt to convert constituents of minority or no religious beliefs," Gaylor explained in a statement on the atheist group's website.
She continued, "Vos claims it's making a 'mountain over a molehill.' But we know if the case involved a Muslim legislator, a Wiccan, or an atheist legislator going overboard, Christian legislators and their constituents would be crying foul."
It is unclear what will unfold if, indeed, it is determined that state funds were used in the creation and distribution of the video.

The U.S. election rolls around every four years, and the democratic juggernaut manages to drag the rest of the world through a horrendously long and chaotic campaign.
Canada, being the U.S.'s neighbour and biggest trading partner, shares some of the headaches — which usually includes pleas and threats from Americans who want to move up north if their preferred candidate doesn't win.
Combat the insanity of the U.S. election campaign with some good ol' "Littlest Hobo" action. (Photo: Reuters/Getty/YouTube)
The emotional load is especially heavy this year as Americans choose between electing their first female president or an enraged human-orangutan hybrid. Stress levels have hit a fever pitch.
Help yourself unwind with these Canadian meditation techniques:
1) Inhale a box of 50 Timbits all by yourself — it could be your last!
Try the Honey "The World Could Not Be" Cruller Timbit. You won't regret it, because you'll have nothing left to regret after this election. (Photo: The Canadian Press)
2) Look at these mesmerizing GIFs of a Manitoba man robbing a beer store while dressed up as a hockey goalie
Hockey! Beer! Theft! Canada! (via RCMP Manitoba/YouTube)
No matter the outcome of the U.S. election, Canada will always have this moment. (via RCMP Manitoba/YouTube)
3) Watch old clips of question period
— and take a shot every time you hear the words "Mr. Speaker"
*On second thought, don't do this. You will become severely intoxicated very quickly. We might have learned this from personal experience.
OH GOD, WHY DID WE DO THIS? THE WESTMINSTER SYSTEM WAS NOT MEANT TO BE THIS FUN. (Photo: Reuters)
4) Listen to Gordon Lightfoot's entire discography
Who will be the U.S. president by the time you're done Mr. Lightfoot's illustrious collection of albums and singles? It doesn't matter! Nothing does! (Photo: Getty Images)
5) Take in the beauty of your country before it is overrun by Americans
Canada's gorgeous mountains are a perfect place to reflect on the majesty of this country while you hide from the hordes of invading Americans. (Photo: Getty Images)
An unhinged demagogue running the U.S. won't be able to reach you here. Well, technically, he could if he really wanted to, but...isn't this lake just divine? (Photo: Getty Images)
6) Marvel at the sheer Canadianness of this photograph
Become one with the stereotype. Embrace it. Internalize it. (Photo: Salthaven West)
7) Relive some of the greatest moments of Canada's 2015 election:
Such as the raging, cussing old man who showed up at a rally for former prime minister Stephen Harper. (Warning: NSFW language)
Or the guy in a bathrobe who was unfortunately caught in the middle of a media frenzy
8) Lose yourself in the magic of "The Littlest Hobo"
If this dog can stop a f***ing diamond heist, we can get through the U.S. election.
9) Watch a moose watch a man watch CBC News:
It's the plot to inception, basically.

Art Extensions Christian Art Masterpieces Drawing and Coloring Book: For Adults and Children including Art Appreciation and Historical Background from Bible Stories and the Lives of the Saints
This original art extensions coloring book combines drawing and coloring with learning art appreciation and art history. Draw and color in the white area around the art masterpieces with your own designs to extend the 24 full-color art masterpieces by famous artists like Leonardo Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Raphael, and more! This book was inspired by a type of art project that the author enjoyed back in the 1960s when art classes were a part of the regular curriculum in grammar school. This book focuses on Christian paintings and includes historical background information including the religious significance of the subject matter with some Bible quotations and stories of the saints.
Each art extension in this book begins with a color reproduction of a great art masterpiece, which is centered on a larger page. Then by drawing freehand and coloring one extends the painting around the edges to match or accent the artwork. Using one's imagination and creativity, one can extend the original art in a variety ways. For example, if there is a river in the original painting, it could continue out to border, bend and flow behind hill, or whatever one imagines. As an alternative one could color in highlights or designs in the background.
|Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena
by St. Catherine of Siena
Kathryn Marcellino (Editor to Modern English)
Algar Thorold (Translator)
The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena is a Catholic Classic. This writing was dictated by the saint while in the mystical state of ecstasy while in dialogue with God the Father. Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380) was the second woman to be given the title of Doctor of the Church by the Catholic Church mainly because on her writings. Her "Dialogue" will help one better understand God's plan of salvation through Jesus Christ, the real meaning of life, and how to live an authentic Christian life. It includes sections on Divine Providence, Discretion, Prayer, and Obedience. These mystical writings contain explanations and affirmations of many Bible passages and traditional Church teachings including what is needed to attain Heaven and avoid hell, and how to progress through the stages of the spiritual life to union with God. Highly recommended for a better understanding of what God desires and requires of us. The book is also filled with wisdom including insights how to be happy, for example, "Man is placed above all creatures, and not beneath them, and he cannot be satisfied or content except in something greater than himself. Greater than himself there is nothing but Myself, the Eternal God. Therefore I alone can satisfy him." (page 111)

Crystallization of the idea
A lot of Photoshop work went into the design of the free wedding invitation template website blumblum.com. The checkerboard pattern in Photoshop that represents a transparent image led to the idea of making this 404 page.

Black Blood [BB] is the blood of a vampire. Black Blood carries immense power within it, and thus is an extremely valuable commodity. A Black Blood Exchange [BBE] is when 2 vampires drink from each other to increase one another's strength by giving a boost in energy or rage.
Only one vampire needs to perform the action but both will benefit. You perform the action by clicking the BBE button on a vampires page in the game.
A BBE can occur between two Vampires in the same coven, but only once every 24 hours.
You must be 20 vampire-years old to BBE.
If each vampire is over 50 years, there are no age difference restrictions. However, if either of you is under 50 years old, the age difference between you and your partner cannot be more than a 30 years. (example: if you are 33 and someone else is 95, you cannot BBE with that partner.)
- Your benefit from performing a BBE is a 25% gain in energy or rage for your character!
- Keep in mind that even though you might have a BBE "Partner" these luscious treats can be stolen by any Vampire in need...

Integrated Pest Management (IPM), 5 Steps of Service, and 3 Zone Service Protocol.
Integrated Pest Management
IPM is a strategy of pest control that combines a wide range of tools and techniques to prevent and keep pests from reaching economically, healthy or aesthetically damaging levels with the least risk of people intoxication and environmental contamination. Basically, IPM is a combination of methods, like monitoring, sanitation, prevention, mechanical control (exclusion, structural improvements), pesticide application and customer education, to keep the population of pests at a desired level (threshold) using the LEAST NECESSARY quantity of products.
Truly Nolen's 5 key steps to service
Inspection of the premises begins with a customer interview, followed by a visual inspection. A thorough inspection is necessary to determine the problem, formulate a course of action, implement the action and decide what follow-up is needed. The inspection process is the first step in solving the customer's problem(s). During the inspection process, the technician will inspect possible entry points, food sources and other conditions conducive to pests and make thorough notes of all the findings
Determination involves the formulation of a plan of action. The technician will explain to the customer all the measures required and plan the eradication of the existing infestation. Treatment methods are based on the type of pests identified in addition to a general preventative programme. The three major aspects of control and prevention are sanitation, exclusion, elimination
Identification of the type of pest. The technician will search out harbourage areas. Proper identification is the foundation for determining the appropriate control plan
Control and Prevention
Control and prevention is the stage of execution of a strategic plan. Various materials and treatment will be applied if necessary in a careful and meticulous manner. The technician will ensure that the work is done in a way that is respectful to the customer's environment
Communication with the customer means that the technician will discuss with the customer his inspection findings, sanitary issues, the
exclusionary and elimination treatments performed and the technician's intent to continually monitor the environment until the infestation is
3 Zone Service Protocol
The Red Zone: (Internal Area)
Is the critical area within a structure, where generally preventive measures are taken. These are areas where contamination may occur
Food production/packing areas
Patients rooms in hospital
The Yellow Zone: (Building Structure)
Is where pests may have access to a structure and control efforts should be proactively implemented such a proofing.
- Doors
- Windows
- Pipes
- Holes & gaps in the structure
- Drains / Sewers
The Green Zone: (External Area)
By taking appropriate action in the Green and Yellow Zones it will help protect the Red Zone and reduce the likelihood of pest activity.

The Introspective Sublime: Romantics' Grand Reflection of Self
In the early nineteenth century the philosophical concept of the sublime was a topic of much interest to Romantic artists. Often this Romantic sublime found expression in sweeping landscapes that forced the viewer to consider oneself in direct contact with the natural and depended heavily on Burkean, Emersonean, and Kantian theories of the sublime. While the impact of the sublime on the viewer is a well-discussed topic, this paper addresses artists' contemplations of the sublime within their own work. I will examine the Romantic sublime as an introspection of self for those who attempted to portray it, and through this observe how the concepts of Sublime and Self united.

Defining Masquerade
Masquerade and the many processes involved in the production of and maintenance of masks associated with these performances are not merely for art's sake; rather, the mask is a grander and more theoretical umbrella device, reflective of the many facets of life. Any given masquerade society will instill importance to any part of the mask it deems necessary for the potency and effectiveness of the performance. While masquerade is not the same performance within every culture that masquerades, one could argue that it is a complex practice during which performer and audience, societal and political realms, the real and liminal intersect.

Building Big in Beijing
The past decades of economic growth in China have resulted in a surge of large building projects in Beijing. This paper examines the precarious situation of the city's grand building projects, particularly the CCTV headquarters. Completed in 2012, this governmental building was designed by European architects Rem Koolhaas and Ole Scheeren. It stands in direct opposition to the communist motto of building, "utility, economy, and, if possible, beauty." If this is the tradition of building in Beijing, how can we understand the CCTV headquarters as a governmental building in Beijing?

The Book of Kells and Ornamentation across Media
The Book of Kells has long been understood as magnificent production of the early medieval period, the pinnacle of the Insular Manuscript Arts. Recognized as a quintessential piece of Irish heritage, it has drawn the attention of scholars across multiple disciplines. The nature of its production and its ornamentation depend upon a synthesis of cultures. While scholars often note the incorporation of ornament and decoration in Hiberno-Saxon and other early Northern European art is often noted by scholars, the pervasiveness of ornamentation, particularly abstract ornamentation across media begs for a closer look.

Monasticism and the Context of Apocalypse in the Morgan Beatus Manuscript
From the eighth to eleventh centuries, the Iberian Peninsula was ruled by the Umayyads of Cordoba, who taxed and tolerated Jews and Christians under their dominion. As a Christian kingdom to the north grew and slowly contended with the Umayyads for territory and power, monasteries were erected in the borderlands, and with them, scriptoria that produced devotional manuscripts in a distinctive 'Mozarabic' style. This paper analyzes the Morgan Beatus, an illuminated Commentary on the Apocalypse (Book of Revelation), now housed in The Pierpont Morgan Library. The text of the Morgan Beatus was written by the monk Beatus of Liebana in the eighth century and then illuminated much later, in the tenth century. The term 'Mozarabic', used to describe a style both cosmopolitan and religiously divided, is apt as well as limiting. The interplay, moreover, between text and image in the Morgan Beatus highlight tensions within its dual eight- and tenth- century contexts. These issues are explored through the writings of Talal Asad, an anthropologist known for his work on Orientalist discourse. In conclusion, hypotheses on the power and political implications of the Morgan Beatus as a performed, religious text are offered.

The Portrayal and Involvement of Women in the Surrealist Movement
This paper focuses on the role of women as artist and subjects in the emergence of Surrealism in light of Freudian psychology. Female artists were essential to the formation of the movement but are often overshadowed by their male counterpart. Here, I will explore the implications of women as sexual beings in their own work, focusing primarily on Meret Oppenheim and her portrayal of sexuality and femininity, as well as the implementation of Freud' psychoanalytic theory.

Cahun and Moore: The Female Surrealist Collaborators
Relatively unknown before the 1990s, Claude Cahun has recently become one of the most talked about female Surrealist artists. She is primarily known for her self-portraits in which she tackles ideas ideas of identity through the use of theatrical props and costumes. However, the strong collaboration between Cahun and her partner Marcel Moore is relatively unknown. The two women worked together from their teens until their deaths, creating photographs, poetry, illustrations, and photomontages while also enacting political resistance against the Nazis. Because Moore had such a strong artistic influence and active participation in Cahun's work, it is problematic that there is little credit attributed to Moore. Moore's exclusion from the collaborative photography not only detracts meaning from the art, but uniquely ascribes the biases of the Surrealists muse/artist relationship.

Schiaparelli, Art, Fashion, and Surrealism
Fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli's contribution to the construction of practical garments for women in the period between the World Wards had a significant effect on the liberation of the modern woman. This paper explores Schiaparelli's collaborations with Surrealist artists, particularly Salvador Dali, as their shared interests in the language of the subconscious provided a useful launching pad for thinking about fashion in relation to psychoanalytic theory. Using theatrical techniques, Schiaparelli helped design the new modern woman's role as self-conscious and possessive, empowered to control her own image.

The Power of Abjection in Works of Kiki Smith and Rei Kawakubo
This paper examines the correlation between the work of sculptor Kiki Smith and fashion designer Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garcons. The works of Smith and Kawakubo intersect through their realizations of the grotesque figure and the theory of abjection, as outlined by Julia Kristeva in Powers of Horror. Abjection is a fact of life dealing with the grotesque that we as humans cannot escape; artists who use abjection seek to push social and psychological boundaries in order to force us to take a hard look at what we wish to keep at a distance. Kawakubo and Smith grant momentary liberation from social constructs, demanding that the viewer pay attend to the more repulsive aspects of life. Their work is often uncomfortable, but only directly confronting what is taboo in our culture, both artist and designer reveal truths about what it means to exist within our bodies.

Andy Warhol's fascination with publishing and the art of the book was lifelong—rooted in his artistic training as a college student and early career in advertising, fashion, and commercial illustration. For close to forty years, books were a touchstone for Warhol—a medium to which he returned again and again as a platform for his unparalleled creativity. He contributed to more than eighty projects for books and left traces behind of dozens of others that were never realized. Warhol by the Book is the first exhibition in New York devoted solely to Warhol's career as a book artist.More info See more cheap New York City events & things to do on Nifty NYC.

This recipe simultaneously roasts your red pepper while steaming a tofurkey sausage, adding some extra moisture.
Serves 2
What you need
4 medium red or yellow peppers, halved and seeded (cut away bottoms but not the tops)
2 Tofurkey sausages (we usually go with Italian)
a little olive oil
Cooking method
Over campfire on a grill
1. Use one half of each pepper to create a cradle for the sausage. Keep the 'tops' of the peppers facing outwards so that the cut away bottoms are what is meeting up in the middle. Place the matching top halves of the peppers on top. You are essentially encasing your sausage within the two peppers. Do your best to seal in the sausage with the pepper but don't worry about it too much, the foil (step 3) should keep all of the steamy goodness inside.
2. Rub a little olive oil on the outside of your peppers.
3. Wrap in foil.
4. Repeat with other sausage(s).
5. Cook the foil packs over the fire on a grill, turning occasionally, until you can feel that the pepper is soft.
6. Take off the fire and rest on a plate. Carefully open the foil package to avoid burning by the steam or any hot juices that may have formed. Slip out of the foil and eat with a knife and fork.

'Young Sheldon': Will a Road Trip Help Sheldon and His Father Bond? (VIDEO)
If there's one thing you can say about Young Sheldon patriarch George Cooper (Lance Barber), it's that he may grumble a lot about life in general, but he truly wants what's best for his family.
In this Thursday's new episode, titled "Cape Canaveral, Schrödinger's Cat, and Cyndi Lauper's Hair," George's wife Mary (Zoey Perry) wants George and Sheldon (Iain Armitage) to be closer, since it's always been a challenge for father and son to connect, especially with the precocious 9-year-old being a genius enrolled in high school. That's where an all-men road trip to Cape Canaveral to see a space shuttle launch comes into play with George, Sheldon and George Jr. (Montana Jordan).

In this exclusive clip from this week's episode of the CBS freshman hit, George Sr. has to act fast to satisfy Mary's wish to have Sheldon sit up front with him so the bonding can happen. Watch what happens:

|Cyornis (1)
This is a colourful flycatcher, named for its broad-based bill and habit of catching flying insects. Male and female large-billed blue-flycatchers differ significantly in appearance. Males have mostly dark blue plumage, with a rusty-orange breast and belly, fading to whitish on the underside of the base of the tail, while females have blue plumage on their rump and tail, elsewhere it is brown (2). Three subspecies of the large-billed blue-flycatcher are recognised; Cyornis caerulatus caerulatus is as described above, while males of C. c. rufifrons have deeper rusty-orange underparts, and C. c. albiventer is whiter on the lower belly (2).
Little is known about the biology and ecology of this forest-dwelling bird. Its diet is thought to most likely contain small invertebrates, particularly winged insects (3), which it catches by making short sallies from low exposed perches (2). Usually seen in pairs, large-billed blue-flycatchers have been observed in a breeding condition between February and July, and chicks have been seen in October and November (3).
The large-billed blue-flycatcher is endemic to Borneo and Sumatra. Subspecies C. c. albiventer inhabits Sumatra, C. c. rufifrons is found in west Borneo, while C. c. caerulatus occurs in northeast and south Borneo (2) (3).
The large-billed blue-flycatcher inhabits lowland primary forest, from sea-level up to around 500 metres (2) (3). It is found most often in the dense, tangled areas of the forest interior or at the edges of clearings, and appears to avoid forest along rivers where the Malaysian blue-flycatcher (C. turcosus) frequently occurs (2) (4).
The large-billed blue-flycatcher is classified as Vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List (1).
The future of the large-billed blue-flycatcher is being placed in peril by the catastrophic loss of its forest habitat (3). Between 1985 and 1997, the extent of lowland forest declined by 25 percent in Kalimantan, Borneo, and 30 percent in Sumatra. These devastating losses are primarily the result of industrial-scale logging, an activity that even impacts protected areas (4). Without action, populations of the large-billed blue-flycatcher will continue to decline rapidly (2) (4).
The large-billed blue-flycatcher occurs in several protected areas, including Sepilok Reserve, Sabah; Gunung Mulu National Park, Sarawak; and Kutai National Park, Kalimantan (2), however, as mentioned above, this does not render populations safe from the threat of habitat destruction and degradation. Increasing support for the conservation and management of protected areas in lowland Borneo and Sumatra, and urging governments to reduce logging of lowland forest in the region, are actions that will help ensure the future of the large-billed blue-flycatcher, and the other threatened inhabitants of these forests (3) (4).
For further information on the large-billed blue-flycatcher see:
