Picture yourself cruising on a vintage BMW motorcycle down a Texas hill country road on a warm sunny day. Wind flowing through your hair as you take the next curve to zip by a few grazing longhorn and bluebonnet fields. You stop at an old abandoned gas station to take a break and collect your thoughts. Then you realize...you're just imagining all of it. Lucky for you that experience is now embodied in one of our 100% cotton, super soft T-shirts!
Our BMW Boxer Tee is the perfect addition to your shirt collection. It comes in a pebble color with the state of Texas print sitting behind a vintage BMW and our Handbuilt Motorcycle Show script below it.
Our T-shirts aren't $28 shirts just because that's where we set the price. They are twice as good as your Hanes Beefy Tee in every way considerable.
For printing we use a higher-quality alternative superior to traditional screen printing known as discharge. Discharge ink is a water-based solution that removes the dye in a shirt and replaces it with a new dye. The end result is a bright, soft, and pliable image that won't crack, peel or bunch like screen printed garments.
They are crafted from premium materials that are airlume combed and ring spun, the result being 2.5x more impurities are combed out opposed to standard ring spun cotton, making for a t-shirt with less stray fibers and a tightly-knit print surface. Side-seamed assembly ensures a fit for any body type, height, or weight.
All of our t-shirts are dyed and cut here in the USA and are manufactured in a Platinum W.R.A.P. certified factory. This ensures safe, lawful, humane and ethical manufacturing which includes human resources management, health and safety standards and environmental/eco-friendly practices like using new, more efficient dye machines that require 7x less water than other clothing manufacturers.

5 Things You Should Understand About Binary Options
If Binary Options is a thing you're interested in then there are some key things you need to be aware of before you dive head first into this field. You should never dive straight into binary options without understanding the concept – for example, you can find relevant bonuses and information at www.binaryoptionsexpert.net. However, here we're going to make a list of 5 things you should understand about Binary Options. Ever since arriving in the world scene in 2008 they've been gaining more popularity, but in spite of that fact folks still are very much uninformed when it comes to the industry, the basics, and this list is here to help you get a better grasp on what you'd need to know. So, let's get started.
1. You want to pay attention to the Disclaimer.
Normally when it comes to some situations and people it may be easy to ignore the disclaimer (not a good idea, but it's common). That's not a mistake you want to make when it comes to Binary Options. It says, in part: "HIGH RISK INVESTMENT WARNING: Trading Binary Options is highly speculative, carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. You may sustain a loss of some or all of your invested capital, therefore, you should not speculate with capital that you cannot afford to lose." This is no get rich quick scheme; it's very much a risk to get involved in and can result in loss of your invested capital. So, you very much want to keep this in mind. It's very important.
2. This isn't easy.
Every website, which is trying to get you to join up with them, makes it sound as if this is easy to get involved with and be successful at. It's not. In some ways, it's not all that hard, anybody can click a button or two (such as Put or Call) but if you want to be profitable you'll need to have more knowledge of what's going on and you'll have to put in some real effort. Again, this isn't a get rich quick scheme. It's not as easy as websites would have you believe it is.
3. Binary Options are all about Public stocks and commodities.
Indices such as the S&P 500, commodities like gold, oil, or sliver and company stocks like Google or Facebook can be traded on Binary Options. One thing that can't be traded via binary platforms are penny stocks.
4. Risk Management is key.
Really, this is a fact whether in any type of trading, not simply binary options. Keep in mind a good rule of thumb is that you shouldn't ever (as a beginner trader) invest more than 2% of your account. So, let's just say you have $1000 in your account; you'd not want to have a single trade go more than $20.
5. Binary options won't make you rich quick.
Did I mention this before? I do so because it's important. It'll take work and effort to make any good money out of this and even then, it's not a guarantee to stay smooth forever. Eventually you'll have trades go bad and lose money at different points. That's the risk vs reward part of things. Ads and videos on YouTube may promise money quickly but that's just not going to happen immediately. It's very important to not have this way of thinking as you get into this and get started.

One of the biggest areas that is overlooked when getting a video/camera setup for trips out is the speed of the your SD card. The GoPro HD Hero2 camera supports SD/SDHC cards up to 32GB (any SD card over 2GB is considered to be a SDHC card).
The new GoPro Hero 3 range – white, silver and black use Micro SD Cards.
The Speed Class Rating is the official unit of speed measurement for SD cards. Speed Class is a minimum speed based on a worst case scenario test and represents the minimum transfer rate of data that the card is capable of.
Speed Class
Class 2 – 2MB/s
Class 4 – 4MB/s
Class 6 – 6MB/s
Class 8 – 8MB/s
Class 10 – 10MB/s
The Speed Class is important for video mode or camcorders, as when recording video the device is actually saving a steady stream of data. This is exactly what you are expecting a GoPro HD Hero2 camera to do whilst filming video at high resolutions. GoPro recommend SDHC cards with a Class 4 rating or higher for the Hero 2. A Class 10 SD card is recommended when using Time-Lapse mode or photo every 0.5 seconds. For the GoPro Hero 3 a Class 10 SD card is the best choice regardless of what you are using it for.
There is always a danger that if your SDHC card isn't up to it that you could encounter error messages or loss of data. When ever my GoPro has crashed or frozen it has always been down to the card I have been using.
The difficulty comes when you start looking at Speed Class and card storage size. The higher the speed class the higher the price, the higher the card capacity the higher the prices. Therefore finding a Class 10 card with a capacity of 32GB at a decent price isn't easy (but it is getting better). The larger national stores aren't the place to look as a decent size card with a high speed class will cost a kings ransom. Over the last year or so I have moved from 8GB Class 4 cards to at least 16GB Class 10 cards for all of my cameras so I don't have to worry about which card(s) I grab as I rush out of the door.
As a rough guide when recording at 1080p a 16GB card will be good for one full charge of your GoPro battery.
So what is the best GoPro SD Memory card? I currently have a range of cards including –
Lexar 633x Class 10 32gb micro SD
Lexar 633x Class 10 64gb micro SD
The price difference is so small that I would recommend Class 10 and a minimum of 32GB.
Some of my paddling mates have had pretty good success with the Extreme Speed range of cards from Samsung.

I'll be looking for a Tangela in the platinum safari zone soon and although I technically know how to catch Pokemon in there I don't know when I should use bait and when I should throw a rock. If anyone knows the best combination of bait/ball/rock then please, share.
Okay first of all I'll go through what each thing does.
Most players when in the safari have to just hope on luck when trying to catch Pokémon. The only way that makes it more likely without being too risky is to throw one rock and then immediately throw a Safari Ball.
Hope I helped :)

Latest research on emerging weeds - brome grass, statice and common sowthistle
Author: Sam Kleemann, Benjamin Fleet and Gurjeet Gill (School of Agriculture, Food & Wine, The University of Adelaide) | Date: 18 Jul 2017
Take-home messages
- Increasing incidence of brome grass in cropping paddocks in southern Australia appears to be associated with the selection of biotypes with greater seed dormancy by weed management practices used by growers.
- Higher levels of seed dormancy allows brome to germinate and establish after pre-sowing weed management, resulting in greater in-crop weed establishment. This change in weed behaviour could have also increased seedbank persistence from one year to the next (approximately 25%). Therefore, a multiyear control strategy is required to exhaust seedbanks to low levels. Growers need to plan a three-year weed management program for their cropping rotations.
- Statice (Limonium lobatum, Winged Sea Lavender) has emerged as a weed of concern in the low-medium rainfall areas of southern Australia. Despite seed coat imposed dormancy, statice seed appears to be vulnerable to rapid decay, and provided seed set is controlled effectively, seedbank persistence is likely to be short (2 years).
- Cereal or fallow phases provide the best opportunity for statice control. Precept® (pyrasulfotole + MCPA) appears to provide excellent control of rosette plants in pot trials. It should be noted that while Precept is registered for use in cereals, it not registered for the control of statice.
- Sowthistle is on the rise, particularly in lentil crops where management options are limited. Because its seeds possess no dormancy, sowthistle plants can emerge and establish all year round, producing vast quantities of wind dispersed seed (>80,000seeds/m2). Therefore, only a few plants are required to replenish the weed seedbank. Control should focus on seed set prevention.
Changes in farming systems and farm management practices are resulting in a changing weed spectrum across the cropping regions of Australia. Many species that were important weeds in pastures, have now become serious weeds of crops. Feedback from growers and consultants indicates that brome grass, statice and common sowthistle have become more difficult to manage in the low rainfall districts of South Australia and Victoria. In order to effectively control these emerging weeds, growers are now seeking information on their behaviour especially on seedbank persistence. However, information on seed biology and persistence of weed seedbanks of many of the emerging weeds in Australia is largely unknown. Furthermore, much of the Australian research on weed seed biology was undertaken prior to the intensification of cropping and before the introduction of no-till systems. It is quite likely that the behaviour of many weeds has changed considerably in response to the changes in crop management practices.
Brome grass ecology and management
Brome grass (B. diandrus, Great brome) has increased in prevalence across the Victorian Mallee with increased adoption of no-till farming and with the intensification of cereal-based cropping systems (i.e. wheat on wheat), where few effective selective herbicides are available for its control. Similar trends of increasing dominance of brome have been observed in SA Mallee and many other areas of the state. Some of the increase in abundance can also be explained by adoption of earlier sowing or even dry sowing. Where brome has become a serious issue it can reduce wheat yields by as much as 30% to 50% (Gill et al. 1987).
On-farm selection for increased seed dormancy has also been responsible for increasing dominance of this weed species. Our research has clearly shown higher levels of seed dormancy in brome grass populations collected from cropping fields than those from non-crop situations such as fence-lines or roadsides (Figure 1). Populations collected from intensively cropped situations at the end of 2015 were much slower to emerge and reach 50% of final emergence (t50) than those sourced from the fence-line (cropped t50 ~40 days; fence-line t50 ~20 days). This difference in seedling emergence between brome populations was related to the variation in seed dormancy.
Figure 1. Differences in germination and seedling emergence pattern between cropped (closed symbols; solid line) and adjacent fence-line (open symbols; broken line) populations of great brome collected in 2015 across south-eastern Australia.
These results clearly indicate that management practices used by farmers to control brome in cropping paddocks have caused a shift in weed population behaviour. This increase in seed dormancy has been caused by selection for individuals in these populations that possess greater seed dormancy that enables them to escape pre-sowing weed control tactics such as tillage or knockdown herbicides. The process of selection for increased seed dormancy would be similar but slower than the selection for herbicide resistance. Over time weed management in cropping paddocks would select for biotypes that possess higher dormancy and select against or remove those with low dormancy.
Seed of highly dormant populations of brome grass were responsive to chilling (i.e. exposure to 5°C), a process which has been shown to increase gibberellic acid production within the seed, a hormone known to stimulate germination. In the field this means that the dormant brome grass requires not only moisture, but also a period of colder temperatures to germinate. Therefore, germination of most of the seedbank of brome would not occur until cooler-moist conditions in late autumn-early winter, thus allowing it to evade early season weed control tactics (e.g. knockdown herbicides). Another biological mechanism that appears to be contributing to delayed emergence is the strong inhibitory effect of light on seed germination in brome grass. Strong photo-inhibition is likely to aid brome infestation in the field by enabling seeds to remain ungerminated on the soil surface until after sowing of the crop, thus preventing seedlings from being killed by seed-bed preparation. This feature of brome grass ecology also goes some way to explaining why it has proliferated under no-till, where seeds remain on the soil surface until being buried by the sowing pass, which would remove the inhibitory effect of light.
Figure 2. Longevity of brome grass seed in the field at Lock from 2003 to 2006.
Greater seed dormancy within in-crop brome grass populations could have also contributed to development of more persistent seedbank. A field study undertaken at Lock showed that 20% of the seedbank of brome persisted from one season to the next, with seeds remaining viable on soil surface for up to three years (Figure 2). Similar levels of persistence were also shown in the long-term study at Balaklava, where more than 25% of seedbank persisted from one season to the next. Seedbank carryover of this magnitude could be an important factor in the proliferation of brome grass where crop rotations have often provided only a single year's intervention (i.e. pasture-wheat rotation) or under cereal monoculture where few effective herbicide options have been available in the past.
If long-term control of brome is to be achieved, given the persistence of seedbank in the soil, then effective multiyear management is required to deplete the weed seedbank. Fortunately, the introduction of imidazolinone-tolerant wheat (Clearfield®) has widened grower's options for the management of brome in the wheat cropping-phase. Alternatively break crops, either legume or canola, can provide a range of options for brome control and can be included in a rotation to prevent seed set. However, brome is a prolific seed producer (80 to 270 seeds/plant) and weed populations can rebound sharply if weak management tactics are used for its control.
At present there is growing interest in the grains industry in harvest weed seed control (HWSC) tactics including weed seed catchers and weed seed destructor technologies. The effectiveness and therefore suitability of these practices depends on the amount of weed seed present above cutter bar height at crop harvest. A study undertaken at Roseworthy last season showed that relative to barley grass, brome grass was much slower to shed seed and showed much higher seed retention (75% versus 6%) at crop maturity (Figure 3.). However, lodging of brome grass plants before crop harvest could cause large reduction in weed seed capture. In 2016, even though most of brome seed was retained until harvest, most brome grass panicles (30-80%) were positioned well below the average crop harvest height of 15 cm. These preliminary results suggest that HWSC tactics are likely to have limited success in brome grass management.

Statice ecology and management
Statice (Limonium lobatum, Winged Sea Lavender) is emerging as a weed of concern in the low to medium rainfall areas of southern Australia. Field surveys undertaken in this project have found statice to be more problematic and localised to areas of the SA Upper north and Mallee, and western districts of Victoria. Although little information is available on its ecology, there is evidence to suggest that it behaves like a winter annual, germinating over late autumn early winter and producing seeds over spring. However, there is currently no Australian information on seed biology and germination of statice. Consequently a number of studies were undertaken to determine the effects of temperature, light, scarification (physical and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)), salt stress and burial depth on germination and persistence of statice.
A summary of project findings on seed biology of statice thus far:
- Freshly produced seed of statice was highly viable (>95%) but highly dormant, with no germination until two months after maturity.
- More than 60% to80% of seeds remained dormant even after 8 months.
- Seeds were capable of rapid imbibition taking less than 48 hours to fully imbibe, which means seed dormancy was not related to hard seed coat.
- Germination was stimulated by light, with greater than 90% of seeds emerging from the soil surface; clear preference for no-till systems.
- Optimal temperature for germination ranged from 15 to 25oC and germination was inhibited by low temperatures (5oC); therefore statice is more likely to emerge in the field after rainfall events in winter and early spring that maintain adequate soil surface moisture to initiate imbibition.
- Even though statice does not have an impermeable (hard) seed coat, dormancy was regulated by the seed coat, and was overcome by scarification (i.e. cutting seed) or treatment with sodium hypochlorite; dormancy was partially overcome with treatment by gibberellic acid (GA3).
- Statice seeds can germinate under saline conditions which explains prevalence in areas where salinity is known to be a problem.
A field study was also undertaken at Roseworthy to investigate the effect of seed burial on seedbank persistence of statice. Previous research has shown that the depth of burial by tillage can have a large effect on the persistence of seedbanks. Even after a short period, seeds of statice present on the soil surface or buried at shallow depth (2cm) were vulnerable to decay, and lost 20% viability within one month and more than 95% viability after two months burial (2cm; Figure 4). These preliminary results suggest that seedbank persistence is likely to be short for statice, and therefore, high fecundity (seed set) is likely to be a more important factor in the persistence of this weed in the field.
Figure 4. Effect of burial depth on seed fate of statice collected from Warnertown, SA, after 1 and 2 months in the field.
Tactics that focus on seed set control of statice are likely to have a substantial impact on its management. However, achieving effective control with herbicides has been an issue as evident in a pot study at Roseworthy where group B herbicides, Eclipse® (metosulam), Raptor® (imazamox) and Logran® (triasulfuron) and mixtures of glyphosate (e.g. Raze® as used in trial) plus Goal® were ineffective on statice (<42% control). However, group C herbicides Igran® (terbutryn) and diuron applied as tank mixes with MCPA and Ally were extremely effective (92% to 99%). Precept® (MCPA and pyrasulfotole) appeared to be the most effective option (100%) (Table 1)ɸ. While these options have potential to provide control in cereals, management in pulse crops is far more difficult where limited herbicide options are available and these are less effective (i.e. Raptor®, Broadstrike®, data not shown).
ɸCurrently there are no herbicides registered for the control of statice with post emergent application in-crop.

Sowthistle ecology and management
Many growers have reported an increasing incidence of sowthistle (Sonchus oleraceus) in their pulse crops, particularly lentils. This is not surprising as lentils are poor competitors against weeds and control is more difficult because of the limited herbicide options available. There is also evidence to suggest that many populations of sowthistle have now developed widespread resistance to the group B herbicides (ALS-inhibitors) (Boutsalis pers. comm.), which could be reducing the effectiveness of the imidazolinone tolerant crops (e.g. lentils).
Studies as part of this project have clearly shown that sowthistle is an opportunistic weed, where plants can rapidly produce large numbers of seed, which can emerge all year round provided soil moisture is adequate for germination from the soil surface. Rainfall in late winter and spring is particularly favourable to successful establishment as plants can avoid the main weed spray timing. Seedbank studies have shown that recruitment of sowthistle is low in the field (i.e. less than 10% of the seedbank). However, sowthistle is known for its prolific seed production (>80,000seeds/m2), and therefore, only a few plants are required to survive and set seed to replenish the seedbank. Furthermore, as the seed has potential for long-range dispersal, seedbanks can often be replenished by wind dispersed seed from adjacent fields or non-crop areas.
Seeds of sowthistle show little or no dormancy and appear to decay rapidly (i.e. within 2 months) from the soil surface (30%) and with shallow burial (40%), suggesting that seedbank persistence is likely to be short. Seedling emergence of sowthistle is also substantially influenced by burial depth with seedlings only emerging from the soil surface, which is consistent with its absolute requirement for light for germination. These results help in explaining the increasing prevalence of sowthistle since the adoption of no-till and stubble retention systems.
Similar to statice, tactics that focus on seed set prevention are likely to have the most impact on sowthistle management. Consider the following:
- Maintain clean fence-lines and other non-crop areas - aim for 100% seed set control.
- In paddocks where sowthistle is known to be a persistent problem, grow a more competitive crop like barley or wheat rather than pulses like lentils where there is high potential for weed invasion and limited options for weed control.
- Optimise weed control in cereals where more herbicide options are available, spray small plants and avoid herbicide applications during times of water stress.
- Control out of season germinations (i.e. over summer) with timely use of knockdown herbicides.
The research undertaken as part of this project is made possible by the significant contributions of growers through both trial cooperation and the support of the GRDC — the author would like to thank them for their continued support. We are also grateful to Jerome Martin and Malinee Thongmee from The University of Adelaide for providing technical assistance.

For the first 13 games of the season, Ohio State looked like anything but a rebuilding team. Despite losing Keita Bates-Diop, the Big Ten player of the year, along with Jae-Sean Tate, Kam Williams and Andrew Dakich, the Buckeyes jumped out to a 12-1 start that featured a couple impressive road wins.
Back for his second season as the team's head coach, Chris Holtmann led his team to Cincinnati for the season opener, and the Buckeyes pulled out an eight-point win against the Bearcats. Eight days later, they traveled to Omaha, Nebraska, and beat Creighton by nine points. When Syracuse ended Ohio State's season-opening win streak at six games, the Buckeyes bounced back with wins against Illinois and Minnesota, then beat UCLA as part of the CBS Sports Classic in Chicago.
Ohio State rose to as high as No. 13 in the AP top-25 poll, and it was the third-highest ranked Big Ten team as recently as last week. After back-to-back-to-back losses to Michigan State, Rutgers and Iowa, that's about to change. Those expectations that Holtmann's group blew away last year, then blasted through again for the first 13 games of this season, will decrease, too.
For a couple months, it looked like the Buckeyes might easily bypass the bridge season between last year's success – a second-place finish in the Big Ten before landing them in the second round of the NCAA tournament – and next season, when they gain three top-50 recruits. Now, they're back to battling for an NCAA tournament appearance, which looked extremely promising just one month ago, and a better-than-.500 record in the conference.
Teams can lose. Last year's group dropped three games to a less-talented Penn State team. But Ohio State's recent issues, though, don't have an easy fix, and the deficiencies on the roster have become readily apparent.
Teams attack Kaleb Wesson to get him in foul trouble. They force the Buckeyes' secondary contributors to beat them, and recently, there hasn't been enough non-Wesson production on offense. The Buckeyes don't have many consistent offensive creators and lack size.
Keyshawn Woods, who dropped 19 points against Creighton earlier this season, scored nine combined points in the past three losses. C.J. Jackson put up back-to-back 20-plus-point games, then scored 10 points in each of the past three games and came off the bench on Saturday.
Kyle Young and Andre Wesson provide much scoring, and neither can create offense by themselves. Luther Muhammad has some slashing ability, but he can be careless with the ball at times and doesn't often look to score unless called upon. Duane Washington Jr., who looked to be a sharpshooter off the bench in the first month of the season, has struggled with his shot recently.
Justin Ahrens, Musa Jallow and Jaedon LeDee haven't played consistent minutes this season, but each of them played at least 10 minutes versus Iowa. Jallow hit a pair of 3-pointers, Ahrens scored a career-high six points and LeDee added six points and four rebounds.
Ohio State hasn't found any answers, so he's looking into whether even those who have played sparingly for most of the year deserve more playing time.
"I think we're all kind of searching a little bit and trying to look for some life and energy from our bench and trying to give some guys an opportunity to be as effective as they can be," Holtmann said.
Ten Buckeyes played in the opening half to mixed – often poor – results. Eight players committed turnovers in the first half, and the team finished the game with a season-high 20 turnovers.
Shots came in spurts in the first half, then just stop falling altogether in the latter 20 minutes. Ohio State shot 37.3 percent from the field compared to Iowa's 45.5 shooting percentage.
"I just think their length, their length was an issue," Holtmann said. "And I think their ability to use their size and their length. Maybe we missed some that we normally make or we would liked to have made. But I thought they were really active."
The day before the team's third loss in a row and fourth loss of the season, Holtmann stressed development. He implored patience.
That's pertinent to long-term success. But even on Saturday, Holtmann was searching for answers, trying lineups and personnel pairings he hadn't used much during close games the entire season. Easy answers aren't readily evident for this team, which is precisely why Holtmann has begun to try out things he hadn't previously.
With games against Maryland, Purdue, Nebraska and Michigan within the next two and a half weeks before a rematch against Rutgers and a game versus the Nittany Lions, Holtmann must relocate what led to success early in the season quickly. The Buckeyes are in the thick of the Big Ten, which Holtmann has called the best conference in the country for months, and they won't have a break for a while.

One way to create surfaces is using the revolve tool. The revolve uses a 'Profile' curve and then revolves that curve around a determined 'axis' to create a surface. This is good for making shapes like vases, cones, domes, and other complex surfaces that will result in a circular or arched surface.
To use the Revolved surface tool, simply select one curve, and then tap 'Revolve'.
Once you tap Revolve, you will be presented with 3 more options in the Revolve tool:
- Revolution angle: Tap this to change the revolution angle– this is the angle of revolution– you can slide the slider between 5 and 360º.
- Snap: Snap will assist you in snapping the axis of the revolution to either perfectly vertical, 45º or perfectly horizontal.
- Wireframe: This will create a wireframe of the revolved surface versus a full surface.
After toggling these options, you will see two blue handles at the end of the selected curve and (sometimes) dotted blue line between those handles. This is the axis of revolution. By default, the axis of revolution defaults to a straight line between the endpoints of a curve. Taping and dragging on either of the blue handles will change the axis of revolution. You can move either handle and as you do you will notice a dashed blue line between the handles. As you move the handle you will see the revolved surface update in real time. Moving the axis will change the shape of the revolved surface. You can even move the axis away from the initial curve. This will result in a hole in the middle of the revolved surface but this is how you create wheels and other more complex revolved surfaces.
Once you are done creating a revolved surface, tap the green check mark.

Mumbai: BMC plans tax benefits for green buildings
With hopes of encouraging eco-friendly construction in city, BJP corporator moves proposal to provide lucrative incentives to builders
After several failed attempts of initiatives to promote 'green buildings,' the BMC is now considering giving concession or tax benefits on development charges to builders, who opt for eco-friendly construction in the city. The development comes in the light of BJP corporator Rohan Rathod from Juhu moving a proposal for the same.
Rohan Rathod
The proposal was recently passed in the civic house meeting and will be sent to municipal commissioner Ajoy Mehta for final approval. The proposal states that the rising number of high-rises in the city has been putting a lot of burden on the existing water and electricity supply.
Speaking to mid-day, Rathod said, "The city is going through a massive transformation. After a point, water scarcity and electricity shortage cannot be ruled out. If we encourage builders with some incentives or concessions in development charges or scrutiny fees, it will surely help develop more green buildings. We need green initiatives to reduce the burden on existing resources."
He further said, "By creating rain water harvesting technology and putting solar panels on upcoming construction, we can deal with the water and energy crises."
The proposal was also supported by other party corporators and is awaiting Mehta's nod. A senior official from the assessment and collection department, said, "We have not decided on the exact percentage of concession on property tax yet."
According to senior civic officials, the civic body earns about R42 crore yearly from development charges and scrutiny fees of proposals of new construction.
Sanjay Darade, chief engineer of the development plan department, said, "We will have to take the approval of the state government to grant such concessions to developers and builders."

– Phosphorus Recovery from Iron Phosphate in Municipal Wastewater Solids as Useful Phosphate Rock
It is no secret, phosphorus has caused many headaches for environmentalist, engineers and biologists. A common issue is blue-green algae and can have severe consequences. Often, phosphorus is present as phosphate. Dissolved phosphate flows to and concentrates in municipal wastewater treatment plants. From there, iron chloride is added to precipitate out of the aqueous phase into solids. These solids are sent then sent to waste or sold as fertilizer, also called biosolids. Unfortunately, the phosphate present in these solids cannot be assimilated by plants. This novel process aims to transform phosphate into carbonate apatite, which can then be up-taken by plants. Ultimately this solution aims to solve some sustainability issues, as well as ensure food security.

An annual event that honors police officers from Jackson County killed in the line of duty has been canceled due to COVID-19 concerns. The Jackson Police Department's Law Enforcement Memorial was set to take place at Horace Blackman Park in downtown Jackson on Wednesday, May 6.
Every spring, the event brings together dozens of public safety personnel and community members to honor fallen officers with a guest speaker, reading of names, music, and gun salute. Chief Elmer Hitt says organizers recently made the difficult decision to cancel this year's memorial because of ongoing concerns about COVID-19 and public events. "We want to make sure officers and the public are not exposed to this illness by being at a mass gathering. While the public event won't be taking place this year, we are still going to honor our fallen officers and their families. The police department is working with the City's communications team to see how we can put the memorial online so people can participate from the safety of their homes," Hitt said.
The City of Jackson will update local media and residents on when the online memorial is available to view.

Canadian airlines say it's too early to speculate on future of Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft
Canada's largest airlines say they do not have a timeline for when the Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft will be added back into rotation.
The aircraft was banned from Canadian airspace in March after two deadly crashes involving the same model of jetliner occurred within six months.
Canadian airlines have had to make a number of adjustments to their schedules in order to accommodate the grounding of their MAX fleets.
Air Canada has adjusted its schedule to the end of May and has taken its Boeing 737 MAX aircraft out of rotation until at least July 1.
"At this point, we do not know as Boeing is still preparing the fix and then a number of regulators will have to approve it," Air Canada spokesperson Peter Fitzpatrick told Global News in an email on Friday.
WestJet, like Air Canada, says it is too early to speculate as to when the MAX aircraft's software will be updated.
"It would be premature for WestJet to speculate on potential timelines regarding Boeing's proposed software updates to the MAX," WestJet spokesperson Morgan Bell said in an email to Global News.
"Should we be directed by our regulators to implement any such changes or associated training, we will absolutely take the proper steps to do so."
Similarly, Westjet has made adjustments to its schedule but says the company is "working diligently" to ensure that the impact of the aircraft groundings is minimal.
WestJet says its schedules have been fully updated with the removal of 13 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft through June, but schedule changes may still occur.
The airline has continued to use the Boeing 787 Dreamliners to fly between Calgary and Toronto. With 320 seats on board each aircraft, WestJet says it has allowed the airline to free up other aircraft that would otherwise be flying this route so that they can travel to other destinations.
The airline says that despite the fleet challenges, 98 per cent of the airline's flights have been completed.
A request for comment was sent to Sunwing Airlines — which has grounded its four Boeing 737 MAX aircraft — however, Global News did not hear back by time of publication.
The investigation into what caused the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, which killed 157 people on March 10, is underway.
However, a preliminary report from the investigation confirmed that the Manoeuvring Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) function was activated during the flight.
The same MCAS function was also activated during the Lion Air Flight 610 crash last October.
Both aircraft had an automated system that pushed the nose of the plane down when sensor readings detected the possibility of an aerodynamic stall, but it now appears that sensors malfunctioned on both planes.
A total of 346 people have been killed as a result of the two incidents.
In a statement, Boeing says a software update for the 737 MAX fleet will be issued worldwide to eliminate the possibility of an unintended MCAS evacuation in the future.
With the new update, flight crews will have the ability to override MCAS and manually control the airplane.
According to Boeing, training materials will also be issued to pilots.
Boeing has vowed to earn back public trust; how exactly that will be done remains to be seen. The software update for the 737 MAX is expected in the coming weeks.

There's been mixed reactions by many on AMD's recent launch of their Radeon VII graphics card … and now this?
In what is turning out to be a massive QA oversight by AMD, people who bought retail Radeon VII graphics cards report that their cards don't support UEFI, and that installing the card in their machines causes their motherboard to engage CSM (compatibility support module), a key component of UEFI firmware that's needed to boot the machine with UEFI-unaware hardware (such as old storage devices, graphics cards, NICs, etc.,).
To verify this claim, we put the stock video BIOS of our Radeon VII sample in a hex editor, and what we found out startled us. The BIOS completely lacks UEFI support, including a GOP (graphics output protocol) driver. A GOP driver is a wafer-thin display driver that runs basic display functions on your GPU during the pre-boot environment. Without UEFI support for the graphics card (i.e. with CSM running), Windows 10 cannot engage Secure Boot. Since UEFI Secure Boot is a requirement for Microsoft Windows 10 Logo certification, we are having doubts whether AMD can really claim "Windows 10 compatible" for Radeon VII, at least until a BIOS update is available.
ASRock is the first AMD AIB (add-in board partner) to release a corrective BIOS update. Although designed for its Radeon VII Phantom Gaming graphics card, this BIOS ROM works with any reference-design Radeon VII graphics card. All Radeon VII cards are identical, so flashing the ASRock BIOS onto a Radeon VII from AMD or any other board partner will not cause any issues.
Parsing the ASRock BIOS ROM file through a hex editor lets us see telltale signs of UEFI support, including the GOP micro-driver. Please pay attention to the highlighted UEFI-magic, which, when read in Intel byte-order, becomes "0EF1" aka "UEFI" in leetspeak. This magic sequence of bytes tells the rest of the system that the BIOS on this specific device reports that it supports the UEFI standard.
It is highly likely that most, if not all, Radeon VII graphics cards shipped so far lack UEFI support, and in the coming days, all AIB partners could come up with BIOS updates. Trouble is, updating video BIOS isn't anywhere near as easy as updating motherboard BIOS, and not everyone is skilled or confident enough to tinker with it. One option AMD could try is an encapsulated one-click BIOS updater that can run from within Windows.
Last year, NVIDIA corrected widespread DisplayPort issues in its "Pascal" graphics cards using such an approach. Until something like that happens, you can grab the updated Radeon VII Phantom Gaming video BIOS from the TechPowerUp VGA BIOS Database, linked below. The ATI/AMD BIOS flashing software can also be found in our downloads section.

Breed of Courage (1927)
Directed by Howard MitchellCountries - United States | MPAA Rating - NR
Share on
Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Breed of Courage is a vehicle for Ranger, one of a myriad of dog-star rivals to the mighty Rin Tin Tin. The story concerns an age-old mountain feud, with the schoolmarm heroine (Jeanne Morgan) on one side, and the lawyer hero (Sam Nelson) on the other. The hero manages to resolve the conflict, but not before the villain of the piece bundles together a few sticks of dynamite and tries to blow the whole kit and kaboodle to hamburger. It hardly needs saying that Ranger grabs the TNT in the nick o' time, without ever getting his fur mussed. Critics in 1927 were unanimous: There was only one Rin Tin Tin, and Ranger wasn't him!

Voice 'n' Bass
Danish jazz chanteuse and, as it happens, her bass playing and producer husband – respectively, Cæcilie Norby and Lars Danielsson – have created a fine album of classy voice and bass songs where there is generally minimal additions to this focus, only, for example, light and distant ambient orchestration on Liberetto Cantabile [though it builds just a little at the end], and occasional percussion to hold a beat as on Sad Sunday. Danielsson plays variously electric and double bass and his virtuoso skill provides a singular – in most cases – platform that is striking in its ability to carry the instrumental duties. The best example of this is opener Both Sides Now, Joni Mitchell's song, where the bass cascades prettily beneath Norby's full and precise vocal. Cherry Tree is sung beautifully over an acoustic guitar, but the simplicity, and excellence, is maintained, though the niche sound on this album is that core voice/bass combination, as on And It's Supposed To Be Love where some extra vocal overdub, finger clicks and slapped bass provide an element of funk. I like the scatting and other vocal playfulness on Wholly Earth, which is then followed by some gorgeous bass and acoustic guitar on Sarabande, a short and delicate instrumental track of calm and peacefulness. The full, impressive range of Norby's vocal is expressed on closer Hallelujah, again over superbly plucked bass, and its brief move into the operatic is perhaps in tribute to her mother who was an opera singer.

South Korea orders additional measures to ensure Samsung Note 7 battery safety
[SEOUL] South Korea said on Thursday it ordered Samsung Electronics Co Ltd take additional measures to ensure that batteries used in Galaxy Note 7 handsets are safe, as the smartphone giant prepares to resume sales in South Korea.
The Korean Agency for Technology and Standards, in a statement, said it formally approved Samsung's plan to recall Note 7 smartphones in the country.
The recall was triggered by faulty batteries that caused some of the 988,900 won (S$1,222.26) phones to catch fire.
The agency said it ordered Samsung to have its supplier conduct x-ray tests on the batteries before the components are shipped, as well as a thorough inspection by Samsung itself to ensure battery safety.
Samsung plans to resume new sales of the Note 7 in South Korea on Sept 28. REUTERS

Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister, wants to see "social investment move from the margins to the mainstream".
Speaking yesterday at the launch of a report on early intervention in children's services by the Labour MP Graham Allen, Clegg said the coalition was "expanding its thinking" on social investment.
He said the government would next month launch a paper outlining its strategy for social investment. He called on the City to use its expertise to develop the social finance market.
"We are gladly building here on work undertaken by the previous government," he said. "But we are determined to go further and faster, in terms of creating a genuine movement for social investment."
He said the government was interested in promoting new forms of social investment in areas such as children's early years, work with repeat offenders and intervening with problem families.
"The challenge is to find creative ways to bridge the gap between the initial investment and the long-term returns," he said.
"In the City of London we have one of the most innovative financial services centres in the world. Social investment is an area where the expertise of the financial services industry could be usefully deployed."
Later this year, Allen will launch a second report on the funding of early intervention with children.
One of the main proposals for funding early intervention programmes is through investment by charitable foundations and philanthropists in social impact bonds, where the government pays out according to charities' results, but with the risk taken by third-party investors.
A pilot of the social impact bond is currently being run to reduce re-offending among prisoners at Peterborough Prison.

This article was originally published in the Summer 2018 issue of The Record.
The convenience and sophistication of online shopping has led to many customers taking for granted how easy it is to order what they want, whenever they want, and get it delivered within days – and sometimes even hours.
For many retailers though, this 'always-on' expectation is still in stark contrast to legacy systems that don't integrate easily with multiple sales channels that are often required to span international boundaries to deliver products and services. This disconnect has led to less efficient operations, as well as considerable lost revenue – in fact, industry analyst IDC recently identified up to US$94 billion of additional revenue available to retailers willing to invest in technology that effectively manipulates their business data.
Retailers using Blue Prism's robotic process automation (RPA) and digital workforce solutions can lead their own omnichannel transformation without having to engage in a costly and risky project requiring API integration between legacy retail store systems and omnichannel applications.
For example, Blue Prism's integration with CyberArk means that each Blue Prism digital worker can be credentialed – just like a store employee – and store operations can track every action, as well as fast-track costly and time-intensive IT security audits.
Operations running on scalable, secure cloud-based platforms such as Microsoft Azure can easily host the omnichannel integration, greatly reducing the implementation and support time. And, by capturing real-time data across all stores, store operations can have a snapshot of the status of omnichannel fulfilment across an entire base of stores.
Blue Prism customer Shop Direct – one of the UK's largest pure-play digital retailers – is just one example of how RPA has affected their entire operation. The company's core metric has always been returning hours back to the business, so that Shop Direct employees can use their time in more valuable ways.
To date, Shop Direct has automated 130 processes, and continues to return 328,000 hours annually back to the business, with a very low footprint and total cost of ownership to operate the Blue Prism Digital Workforce Operating System. And, automating a single process alone, generated more than £16 million (US$21.3 million) of incremental revenue.
For Shop Direct, cost savings, productivity increases, error rate reductions, regulatory compliance enhancements and revenue generation are all vital quantifiers of business value.
Steven Armstrong is vice president and global lead for the Microsoft Alliance at Blue Prism

Preseason preparations are well underway in Limerick as Munster look to build on their promising 2016/2017 season as they look to go one step further in both European and domestic competition this year.
Although the overall mood has been soured with the news that Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber will be departing the southern province at Christmas – fans can still be excited especially with the likes of James Hart, Chris Farrell, JJ Hanrahan, Chris Cloete and Gerbrandt Grobler all set to feature for the men in red this season.
They will do so in a brand new home jersey which Munster Rugby have just unveiled and we must say it looks incredible.
The jersey contains the latin phrase 'forte fideli nihil difficil' or to the brave and faithful nothing is impossible.
Munster Rugby Head of Commercial and Marketing, Enda Lynch, said, "As we return to an all-red home kit, Adidas have once again led the way in design and innovation in marking the province's heritage through the inclusion of the club's motto and nod to the stag, while also referencing our community ties with the map feature across the training range."
The jersey will be on sale from July 24.

I hope it's OK to post this, but some of you might recall that there was a thread on here a while back about diurnal variation - the extent to which peak flow varies through the day & over a series of days, & the somewhat complicated Maths used to work it out. Myself & anjyil said we'd have a look & see if we could produce anything that might help, & have come up with a spreadsheet if anyone wants it.
Just to emphasise, we've done our best to work it all out, but it should really be seen as something to help & guide you - it's 100% NOT diagnostic & may very well have errors in it, but if anyone wants a copy, please message me & I will send it to you.
It's free - if you think it's worth anything, I'd far rather you donate to AsthmaUK!

Recently I spoke at Richard Robbins Achieve in Toronto. While we couldn't get to all the questions during the event we promised to answer them all. The following is just one of many…
"I have a Facebook group page – is that a mistake?"
Not necessarily a mistake. It depends – OLD style or NEW? What's the group about?
The old style groups were walled off sections within Facebook. Like they say in Vegas, "What happens in the group stays in the group!". New groups do change that up a bit in that posts I place in the group can be seen on my wall by friends who are also in that group. New groups have a few different options as well. They can be open, closed or even SECRET!
Groups within Facebook can be great for collaboration, or discussion around a single topic. Some groups are like virtual water coolers, a place where people can blow off stream without the rest of Facebook and all their friends knowing about it.
Here's a few things about Groups vs. Pages that might help you decide which is best for you.
1. Social Reach. Group activity has a very limited social reach (if any). If my neighbor is commenting within a group that I'm not a member of I may not hear it. That comment stays within the walls of the group. I'm pretty sure any LIKES do as well. Contrast that with a Page. If my neighbor comments on the "Living in Sunny Acres" Page – I will see that on her wall (she's a friend of mine). With a click I can follow her comment back to the Page where I can LIKE that Page. That can't happen with groups.
2. Google. Pages are indexed by the big G. Profiles and Groups are not.
I'll stop there. Does that help? It should.

I recall a number of related applications for inserting architecture elements into a space. Augmenting reality by manipulating chosen insertions. How can this be made as easy as possible? Tango would provide space sensing and area-learning capability. Does it also imply the need for handsfree manipulation? In CWorld:
" ... Wayfair Inc. , a Boston-based, 14-year-old e-commerce company that sells home furnishings, is working on an app based on Google's Project Tango technology that would put augmented reality, and

What touches our hearts and what doesn't? What stays in our minds and what slips out?
Across the world, houses of worship have been burning. In Paris, the Notre Dame Cathedral still smolders; in Jerusalem, a brief fire frightened the faithful at the al-Aqsa Mosque; and in Louisiana, the son of a deputy sheriff was arrested for allegedly torching three Black churches.
Each fire was upsetting in its own way. Al-Aqsa and Notre Dame are world-historical buildings, and, although the former turned out to be no big deal, I for one feel a twinge of concern whenever anything happens in Jerusalem. Notre Dame will take years and millions of euros to rebuild. The American church fires are just one more infuriating symptom of a nation turning against its own citizens, though it is encouraging that, in the wake of Notre Dame, donations to the Louisiana churches have begun to surge.
I wouldn't underplay the seriousness of what happened in Paris, Jerusalem, and Louisiana. But I do find it fascinating, in a depressing way, that a 13th century mosque has been willfully demolished, and a 16th century mosque forcibly converted into a Communist propaganda center, but that you wouldn't know a thing about either unless you actively follow the issues facing minority religions.
The Koriya Mosque in Western China reportedly dates from 1237. Last week the Guardian published satellite images of the mosque in a kind of grotesque before-and-after. The first image, from 2017, shows the mosque from above, casting an elongated shadow. The second image shows "a smooth patch of earth."
There's a less radical but nevertheless disturbing story about China's Kargilik Mosque. According to Radio Free Asia, the Chinese authorities stripped the 16th century building of its Islamic imagery and festooned it instead with banners proclaiming, "Love the Party, Love the Country."
The destruction and desecration of the mosques is part of a larger Chinese governmental effort to expunge Islam from China. It's directed against the Uighurs, a largely Muslim Turkic group spread throughout Central and East Asia. More than 11 million Uighurs live in Xianjiang District of Western China, where officials have reportedly bulldozed over 800 mosques.
Authorities have also detained hundreds of thousands of Uighurs in re-education camps. The scale of the suffering is difficult to imagine.
In fairness, there's been a lot of good reporting about the plight of the Uighurs. And yet I believe the outpouring of emotion for more recognizable places—especially Notre Dame—is instructive.
Samuel Johnson defined sympathy—or what we might now call "empathy"—as an "act of the imagination." To put it less elegantly, when trying to understand the pain of others, we need to imagine ourselves in their shoes. And it's simply human nature for us to be more touched by the familiar.
I don't have any simple answers. But I can say that unless we fight against that impulse, we're consigning the weakest of the world—which often are members of minority religions—to massive suffering, to ethnic cleansing, to genocide.
Anyone remember the Yazidis? The Rohingya?

The Brow Effect
Eyebrow & Eyeliner Microblading
Please follow these instructions for 14 days after the procedure to improve and prolong the results of your microblading. If you don't follow these instructions, it can greatly affect your microblading results or put you at risk for infection or scarring or loss of pigmentation.
Aftercare is 50% of the final result!
- Brows will weep a clear fluid after cosmetic tattooing procedure. To avoid this fluid from setting and forming a scab, brows need to be wiped over with clean damp cotton pads every 10 minutes for the first hour.
- For the first hour, every 10 minutes using a clean cotton bud, apply aftercare cream thinly across both brows. Ensure that different cotton buds are used each time. Before going to bed apply a generous layer of aftercare cream to the brow area.
- The day after the procedure, apply a thin layer of aftercare cream at least 5 times a day.
- Avoid washing the area or very hot showers (due to steam) in the first 24 hours.
- Avoid any exfoliants during the healing process (14 days).
- Avoid swimming pools, the beach, tanning treatments, salt water, steam rooms and saunas during the healing process (14 days).
- Eyebrow microblading -Do not receive eyebrow waxing, eyebrow tinting, electrolysis or laser hair removal during the healing process (14 days).
- Eyeliner Microblading -Do not receive eyelash tinting, lash lifting or lash extensions during the healing process (14 days).
- Apply aftercare products recommended by The Brow Effect.
- No exercise for 7 days. After 7 days – when exercising, wear a sweatband to avoid sweat on eye area.
- Do not expose treated area to direct sunlight. After healed (30 days), use a sunscreen to avoid fading from the sun.
- No makeup should be applied directly on the eyelids during the healing process (eyeliner microblading). After the eyelids have healed (7 days)
- If your eyelids or eyebrows get wet during the healing process, pat them dry with a towel, DO NOT RUB.
- Avoid using daily skincare products directly on the eyelids or eyebrows.
- If you are planning a chemical peel, or any other medical procedure, please inform therapist of the procedure you have had. Procedure should only be done once the healing process is complete.
- If you are due to give blood after the procedure, please inform your nurse about the microblading treatment you have had as this might alter the results.
- Area must be kept moist for successful healing and to avoid scabbing.
Lash Lift & Tinting
- Immediately following a lash lift, for a minimum of 24 hours, please avoid heat, steam (including cooking over steaming stovetop), saunas.
- Avoid water, oils, lotions, creams, shampoos, face washes, makeup remover wipes or pads on lashes.
- Only approved product to put on immediately after a lift may be applied by your therapist.
- Because your lashes are still malleable (shape-shifting), a side sleeper or face sleeper may notice that one or both eyes may raise or drop, leaving the lashes misshaped. Sleeping on your back is best.
- Avoid direct sunlight right after your treatment, as this can weaken the lift lotion and fade the tint.
- Avoid face washes and oil-based beauty products as this can also cause lashes to drop prematurely.
- Book your next eyelash lift & tint treatment again around 6-8 weeks. (results will vary along with the longevity of the lift and tint depending on your individual lash cycle and aftercare)
- Keep your eyebrows dry and product-free for 24 hours to create the best stain.
- When cleansing your face, wipe around the eyebrows to get the longest lasting skin stain.
- When swimming, apply a little oil or barrier cream to your brows to stop the chlorine and salt from prematurely lightening your eyebrows.
- Avoid scrubbing your eyebrows with exfoliants.
- Avoid applying any resurfacing serums over your eyebrows.
- Avoid exposure to sun/UV lights for long periods as this can cause the tint to fade quicker.
