Logging trucks growl over the Blue Mountains in northeast Oregon, hauling freshly cut timber to one of Boise Cascade's three manufacturing facilities scattered around the region, including a plywood mill in the rural town of Elgin.
About 250 people work full-time at the Elgin complex, making plywood panels for building construction. Elsewhere on site, a stud mill sits empty after Boise Cascade announced an indefinite curtailment, ceasing operations in mid-July.
Mill closures are nothing new in Eastern Oregon. Since 1990, the industry has lost 18 mills and more than 1,200 jobs locally, said Lindsay Warness, forest policy analyst for Boise Cascade. On a percentage basis, that's equivalent to 106,000 jobs in the Portland metro area.
To keep the remaining mills open, Boise Cascade buys roughly 33 percent of its timber from as far as Mount Hood and southwest Idaho, trucking in logs from 250 miles away. A smaller percentage comes from the three national forests within the Blue Mountains — the Umatilla, Wallowa-Whitman and Malheur — where Warness said the company has seen a "significant decline" in available timber supply.
That could change soon, as the U.S. Forest Service has proposed doubling the timber harvest in its latest recommendations for the Blue Mountains Forest Plan Revision, encompassing 5.5 million acres of public lands — an area about the size of New Jersey.
After 15 years, the Forest Service released its final draft of the management plans and environmental study for all three forests in June, focusing on a wide range of environmental, social and economic factors.
The public now has until Aug. 28 to file objections, kicking off another 90-day resolution period. Only groups and individuals who have previously established legal standing can file objections. Once that is complete, the Northwest regional forester in Portland will sign off on a record of decision.
Jim Pena, the previous regional forester in Portland, retired July 3. The Forest Service has not yet named his replacement.
In general, forest supervisors for the Umatilla, Wallowa-Whitman and Malheur said the plans strive for more active management to improve forest health and reduce the risk of the large and dangerous wildfires plaguing the West.
Part of that is doubling the annual timber harvest across all three forests from a recent average of 101 million board-feet to 205 million board-feet. Between forest products, livestock and recreation, the Forest Service estimates the revised Blue Mountains Forest Plan will create up to 1,173 new jobs and $59.5 million in added income in the region.
Warness said that all sounds good, but she — and others — question how the Forest Service will achieve such ambitious numbers.
"The plan itself is fairly vague in their desired future conditions as to what they're trying to achieve on the landscape," Warness said. "I think that is causing a lot of frustration for a lot of people who have been highly involved."
Forest plans are generally updated every 10 to 15 years, though the current Blue Mountains Forest Plan was adopted in 1990. The revision process, which started in 2003, has lasted as long as the plan it will produce.
A draft of the plan was released in 2014, though it was universally panned by the Eastern Oregon counties and environmental and industry groups. The Forest Service received more than 4,300 comments, nearly all of them negative.
In 2015, the agency decided to re-engage the public, holding a series of meetings to hear concerns and ideas. Officials developed two new plan alternatives, including the latest preferred alternative, dubbed "E-Modified."
Steve Beverlin, the Malheur National Forest supervisor based in John Day, said E-Modified should lead to an overall increase in the pace and scale of restoration across the forests, working with local partners and collaborative groups.
"I think those opportunities are really interwoven across all three forests," Beverlin said.
The Forest Plan itself does not make any decisions on specific projects, but it does establish the sideboards for future work, setting goals and desired conditions on the landscape. The overarching goals are ecological integrity and economic and social well-being, leading into guidelines on timber, grazing, access, wilderness, recreation and other uses.
To fully implement Alternative E-Modified, the Forest Service estimates it would need an annual budget of $78.5 million, which is $6 million more than recent allocations. Beverlin said he does not expect funding to increase, but he pointed to several other agency-wide initiatives that will help do work quickly and more efficiently.
For starters, Beverlin said the Forest Service is looking to tweak how it reviews projects under the National Environmental Policy Act, putting crews to work faster while avoiding costly lawsuits.
Congress also recently passed legislation ending the practice of "fire borrowing," in which the Forest Service took money from its fire prevention programs to pay for fighting wildfires. Wildfires will now be covered under a $2 billion federal disaster fund.
"The fire funding fix is coming on board next year, so that is going to provide some additional funding across the Forest Service to address some of these critical issues," Beverlin said. "So we're excited about that."
One oft-cited issue is the sheer amount of timber and undergrowth building up in the forests, feeding ever-larger wildfires such as the 110,000-acre Canyon Creek Complex near John Day in 2015.
Warness, with Boise Cascade, said the Umatilla, Wallowa-Whitman and Malheur forests grow about 800 million board-feet of timber every year, of which approximately 400 million board-feet — enough for 30,000 houses — is left to deteriorate.
As a result, Warness said the situation has compounded over the last 20 years and left the woods severely overstocked and prone to massive wildfires, as well as insect and disease outbreaks.
"We believe that logging is an important tool that can be used on this landscape," Warness said.
Doubling timber harvest would provide some certainty for the industry, Warness said, but the plan does not offer any guarantees the Forest Service will be able to meet those targets each year.
Lawson Fite, an attorney with the American Forest Resource Council in Portland, agreed the plan does not provide a clear enough direction for timber harvests that would maintain the mill infrastructure in Eastern Oregon.
"It's not a directional document, like a forest plan should be," Fite said. "There's no getting from A to B in there."
Fite said the organization is still reviewing all 5,000 pages of documents, but is "seriously considering" filing an objection.
"So many mills have closed, and the level of timber that's being processed in Eastern Oregon is just a fraction of what it used to be," Fite said. "What we have now is a level of infrastructure that is really a minimum for what the Forest Service will need to manage the landscape for forest health and fire resilience."
The national forests are likewise critical for Eastern Oregon ranchers, who are a vital cog in the region's economy.
John Williams, a recently retired livestock agent for Oregon State University Extension in Wallowa County, said local agriculture is a $60 million a year business, and the vast majority comes from raising cattle.
"It's the economic base for our county," Williams said. "We want to produce as much as we can."
Alternative E-Modified does call for potentially adding 51,600 animal unit months, or AUMs, associated with vacant allotments for livestock across the three forests. An AUM describes the amount of forage one cow and her calf, one horse or five sheep or goats would eat during a month.
Todd Nash, a longtime rancher and a Wallowa County commissioner, remains skeptical whether that will come to fruition. He said the plan lends itself to more stagnation, and appears to favor vacant grazing allotments as "grass banks," rather than issuing new grazing permits.
At the same time, grazing restrictions continue to get tighter for riparian protections and threatened plant species, Nash said. He specifically mentioned a lawsuit filed in January to block grazing around Spalding's catchfly, a summer-blooming member of the carnation family, on 44,000 acres within the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area.
"Cattle are always pointed at as the villain," Nash said. "We think that they have a role here in Wallowa County, one of which is reducing fine fuels availability. ... All the fire managers will tell you that fine fuels, a.k.a. grasses, are what carry the flames."
Matt McElligott, owner of LM Ranch in North Powder and public lands chairman of the Oregon Cattlemen's Association, said ranchers made significant progress on easing some restrictions in the plan last year. Watershed health is now linked to trends in individual allotments, he said, which in turn dictate grazing standards such as stubble height and stream bank alterations.
"What they had placed in there earlier, it wasn't going to work," McElligott said. "It was just too restrictive for grazing."
McElligott said he does still worry that biological opinions for endangered fish issued by federal agencies will supersede the Forest Plan. One such opinion on the Malheur National Forest, he said, is "more anti-grazing than anything else I've read."
"I'd like for the Blue Mountains plan to be the plan that everybody runs under," McElligott said.
On the other hand, some environmental groups say the plan places too much emphasis on resource extraction, and does not do enough to protect old-growth trees and wildlife.
Doug Heiken, conservation and restoration coordinator for the Portland-based Oregon Wild, said untouched wilderness areas have become increasingly fragmented over the years, and the Forest Plan now overemphasizes logging and grazing at the expense of habitat.
"We're really afraid the Forest Service is going to lose sight of the entire reason we had protections for these large trees," Heiken said. "That's especially important in light of climate change. Those trees are big reservoirs for carbon."
Species such as wolves, goshawks, pileated woodpeckers and Endangered Species Act-listed fish would all do better in greater unmanaged wilderness, he said. He agreed there is a need for more active forest management, but argued that should take the form of thinning, using fire as a management tool when the weather is favorable, and perhaps most controversially, closing roads.
"Nobody needs all of those roads," Heiken said. "We do need reasonable access to our forests, obviously. ... We can have reasonable access to lands and still conserve our water quality, conserve our salmon and save our big game from disturbances."
Road closures remain a major source of contention in the plan. The three forests have a combined 23,421 miles of roads, while the projected annual maintenance of roads is just 2,007 miles, creating a backlog of maintenance needs.
The Forest Service has repeatedly said the plan does not close any roads, and those decisions will be made at a project-specific level. However, Bruce Dunn, a forester for RY Timber in Joseph and a Wallowa County commissioner-elect, said the plan does set the stage for roads to be closed, cutting off a vital link to residents' way of life — from wildlife viewing to accessing firewood and picking mushrooms and berries.
"You add all that together, and that's why we have this opposition to it," he said. "I think this is going to be a big thing when we get back into travel management."
The Forest Service said it received its first two objections to the plan last week. Beverlin said the agency looks forward to working with the public to bring the plan across the finish line and start accelerating restoration in the forests.
"We're optimistic we're going to be able to do that across the Blues," Beverlin said.

Ethical Hacking Course Details
Ethical Hacking Training in Patna
Ethical Hacking, also known as penetration testing, intrusion testing, or red teaming, is the controversial act of locating weaknesses and vulnerabilities of computer and information systems by duplicating the intent and actions of malicious hackers.
An ethical hacker is an individual hired to hack into a system to identify and repair potential vulnerabilities, effectively preventing exploitation by malicious hackers. They are security experts that specialize in the penetration testing (pen-testing) of computer and software systems for the purpose of evaluating, strengthening and improving security.
An ethical hacker is also known as a white hat hacker, red team, tiger team or sneaker.
Generally, a software or hardware vendor achieves greater profitability by hiring ethical hackers, versus being subjected to other types of vulnerabilities and exploitations.
Ethical hackers evaluate systems using a number of methods, some of which include:
- Denial of Service (DoS) attacks: These are usually applied by flooding a system with requests, rendering it unable to handle additional requests, which halts service to other users or results in system overflow and/or shutdown.
- Social Engineering tactics: Akin to simple fraud, these include any act that manipulates a user into divulging information or performing specific actions.
- Security scanners: Used to discover vulnerabilities, security scanners are exploitation tools designed to discover vunerabilities in networks.

Orthodontics shares a principle with the classic tug of war game: if you want things to move in the right direction you need a good anchor. Anchors help braces and other appliances apply constant pressure to misaligned teeth in the direction they need to go to correct a malocclusion (poor bite).
Orthodontic treatments work in cooperation with an existing oral mechanism that already moves teeth naturally in response to biting forces or other environmental factors. The key to this mechanism is an elastic tissue known as the periodontal ligament that lies between the tooth and the bone. Besides holding teeth in place through tiny attached fibers, the ligament also allows the teeth to move in tiny increments.
Braces' wires laced through brackets affixed to the teeth exert pressure on them in the desired direction of movement –the periodontal ligament and other structures do the rest. To maintain that pressure we need to attach them to an "anchor"—in basic malocclusions that's usually the back molar teeth.
But not all malocclusions are that simple. Some may require moving only certain teeth while not moving their neighbors. Younger patients' jaws and facial structures still under development may also need to be considered during orthodontic treatment. That's why orthodontists have other anchorage methods to address these possible complications.
One example of an alternate anchorage is a headgear appliance that actually uses the patient's skull as the anchor. The headgear consists of a strap running around the back of the head and attached in front to orthodontic brackets (usually on molar teeth). The pressure it exerts can trigger tooth movement, but it can also help influence jaw development if an upper or lower jaw is growing too far forward or back.
Another useful anchorage method is a tiny metal screw called a temporary anchorage device (TAD) that is implanted into the jawbone above the teeth through the gums. Orthodontists then attach elastic bands between implanted TADs and specific braces' brackets or wires to exert pressure on certain teeth but not others with pinpoint accuracy. After treatment the TADs can be easily removed.
Using these and other appliances allows orthodontists to customize treatment to an individual patient's particular malocclusion. With the right anchor, even the most complex bite problem can be transformed into a beautiful and healthy smile.

Besides attractively showcasing your teeth, your gums protect your teeth and underlying bone from bacteria and abrasive food particles. Sometimes, though, the gums can pull back or recede from the teeth, leaving them exposed and vulnerable to damage and disease.
Here are 4 things that could contribute to gum recession—and what you can do about them.
Periodontal (gum) disease. This family of aggressive gum infections is by far the most common cause for recession. Triggered mainly by bacterial plaque, gum disease can cause the gums to detach and then recede from the teeth. To prevent gum disease, you should practice daily brushing and flossing and see your dentist at least twice a year to thoroughly remove plaque. And see your dentist as soon as possible for diagnosis and treatment at the first sign of red, swollen or bleeding gums.
Tooth position. While a tooth normally erupts surrounded by bone, sometimes it erupts out of correct alignment and is therefore outside the bony housing and protective gum tissue. Orthodontic treatment to move teeth to better positions can correct this problem, as well as stimulate the gum tissues around the involved teeth to thicken and become more resistant to recession.
Thin gum tissues. Thin gum tissues, a quality you inherit from your parents, are more susceptible to wear and tear and so more likely to recede. If you have thin gum tissues you'll need to stay on high alert for any signs of disease or problems. And you should also be mindful of our next common cause, which is….
Overaggressive hygiene. While it seems counterintuitive, brushing doesn't require a lot of "elbow grease" to remove plaque. A gentle scrubbing motion over all your tooth surfaces is usually sufficient. On the other hand, applying too much force (or brushing too often) can damage your gums over time and cause them to recede. And as we alluded to before, this is especially problematic for people with thinner gum tissues. So brush gently but thoroughly to protect your gums.
If you would like more information on treating gum recession, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Gum Recession."
Whether she's singing, dancing or acting, Jennifer Lopez is a performer who is known for giving it all she's got. But during one show, Lopez recently admitted, she gave a bit more then she had planned.
"I chipped my tooth on stage," she told interviewers from Entertainment Tonight, "and had to finish the show….I went back thinking 'Can I finish the show like this?'"
With that unlucky break, J-Lo joins a growing list of superstar singers—including Taylor Swift and Michael Buble—who have something in common: All have chipped their teeth on microphones while giving a performance.
But it's not just celebs who have accidental dental trouble. Chips are among the most common dental injuries—and the front teeth, due to their position, are particularly susceptible. Unfortunately, they are also the most visible. But there are also a number of good ways to repair chipped, cracked or broken teeth short of replacing them.
For minor to moderate chips, cosmetic bonding might be recommended. In this method, special high-tech resins, in shades that match your natural teeth, are applied to the tooth's surface. Layers of resin, cured with a special light, will often restore the tooth to good appearance. Best of all, the whole process can often be done in just one visit to the dental office, and the results can last for several years.
For a more permanent repair—or if the damage is more extensive—dental veneers may be another option. Veneers are wafer-thin shells that cover the entire front surface of one or more teeth. Strong, durable and natural-looking, they can be used to repair moderate chips, cracks or irregularities. They can also help you get a "red-carpet" smile: brilliant white teeth with perfectly even spacing. That's why veneers are so popular among Hollywood celebs—even those who haven't chipped their teeth!
Fortunately, even if the tooth is extensively damaged, it's usually possible to restore it with a crown (cap), a bridge—or a dental implant, today's gold standard for whole-tooth replacement. But in many cases, a less complex type of restoration will do the trick.
Which tooth restoration method did J-Lo choose? She didn't say—but luckily for her adoring fans, after the microphone mishap she went right back up on stage and finished the show.
If you have a chipped tooth but you need to make the show go on, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more by reading the Dear Doctor magazine articles "Artistic Repair of Chipped Teeth With Composite Resin" and "Porcelain Veneers."

TOURISM Minister Dominic Fedee on Tuesday answered a question he had the day before dismissed concerning vehicle concessions given to the Sandals hotel chain in St. Lucia.
Fedee, who was thoroughly condemned by the public for not answering HTS News4orce reporter Miguel Fevrier's question on whether he had taken to Cabinet a request from Sandals seeking concessions on 97 vehicles, finally decided to answer the question at an emergency news conference.
What motivated Fedee to answer the question he had previously decided not to answer is unclear. However, his response to the question is as follows:
"The fact of the matter is that the government gave concessions to Sandals for four vehicles. It is quite normal. The issue here, I thought, was very malicious. I did not add my voice to it. I dismissed it as pure propaganda, pure political mischief and I did not want to deal with it. I'm not here to tell the press how to do its job but I maintain I will not add my voice to rumours and I think that we have a responsibility to ensure that fair and balanced and factual information goes to the people of St. Lucia."
Fedee said his exchange with Fevrier was not a personal attack, adding in a democracy, investigative and factual journalism is needed.
"I don't think it does any of us any good, or make us more informed as a country, when we report on hearsay and on rumours. I think it is dangerous," Fedee said, adding that he had done very little for Sandals since becoming Tourism Minister.
However, Leader of the Opposition, Philip J. Pierre, at a press conference on Tuesday accused the government of suppressing free speech, which Fedee has since denied.
According to Pierre, Fedee should have recused himself from any issue involving the hotel chain as a former employee for the very reason that perception of bias would be clear.
"Dominic Fedee's last job before he became a Minister was as an employee of Sandals. Therefore, the Prime Minister should have exercised the necessary judgment and advise Dominic Fedee to not only recuse himself but try as far as possible not to make statements that seem to favour Sandals," Pierre said.
"There is a disposition of the government towards vindictiveness and suppression of free speech and this is very worrisome," Pierre added.
Pierre said he was concerned about the government's lack of transparency, its seemingly tendency to engage in conflict of interest, taking deliberate steps — some of them publicly — to suppress free speech.
The battle of words all started with Fevrier asking whether duty free concessions for a reported 97 vehicles fell under the Tourism Incentive Act, and in what category. (Fedee has since confirmed that concessions were granted for only four vehicles).
Fedee did not take kindly to the question and called on Fevrier to provide proof of what he was questioning. Fevrier also asked of the Minister whether it was true that duty free concessions for a large amount of vehicles were being considered by Cabinet.
The exchange got heated to the point where both men were talking at the same time with neither willing to give in. Fedee, however, remained adamant that he would not answer Fevrier's question while Fevrier insisted that the question required a simple 'yes' or 'no'.

TOEFL stands for Test of English as foreign language. This is a test which evaluates the English speaking, writing, listening and reading proficiency of the international students coming from non- English speaking nations and applying for school/ universities in the English speaking nations. Most of the universities in Europe, New Zealand and Australia accept TOEFL scores. In fact more than 10,000 colleges in 100+ countries evaluate English proficiency of the applicant students through TOEFL scores.
This is standardized test which measures the test takers mastery in the language. Academic language can get hard and formal. So even for the ones who have studied English can find it difficult to cope with an all English academic environment. For such a purpose before a university accepts you in their academic programme the admission board would want to know if a particular study can handle an all English Academic Course.
During the test, you are asked to perform tasks that combine more than one skill, such as:

431 Glebe Point Road, Glebe, NSW, 1967
On the roof of the two-storey building occupied by the local branch of American cosmetics company Max Factor, Snelling built a one-storey seminar and hospitality centre for staff training courses and presentations of new products.
From Snelling's plans and perspective drawings, archived at the State Library of New South Wales, the new pavilion was square in plan, with a flat roof. It incorporated a vestibule next to the lift with doors leading to a large lunch room, a lounge, and a lecture theatre. The lunch room and lounge were combined in an open plan, with the lunch room illuminated by floor-to-ceiling glazing facing west across Glebe Point Road, and the lounge facing north and east to a roof terrace, with views of the Sydney city skyline.
No specifications of building materials were noted on the Snelling drawings. Minor and uncertain structural evidence of the pavilion appeared evident on the roof of this office building in 2004, long after the Max Factor occupancy and after substantial renovations in a post-modern style (with panels of glass blocks) that appeared to have been completed in the 1980s.

Instrumentality Defined for FCPA Compliance
Tuesday, September 30, 2014
Written by Danyal Solomon
Most of us who work within the confines of FCPA compliance requirements have studied, contemplated, and interpreted the Resource Guide to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Written with the intent to inspire compliant standards and practices, the guide provides helpful hints, prosecution procedures, and outlines benefits of self-monitoring and reporting. However, within the guide are a multitude of ambiguities that pose serious challenges for the compliance professional. Just to name two, the "reasonable standard" of due diligence, and the concept of "instrumentality."
Recently, the 11th Circuit Court defined "instrumentality" as an entity that is "controlled by the government of a foreign country" and "that performs a function the controlling government treats as its own." Any compliance professional will testify to the importance of this term being defined so as to allow their programs to function around this requirement. So, while we still need to determine what the "reasonable standard" of due diligence is, we now have a framework to work with that defines instrumentality. So what does this mean for the compliance program executor and his/her third-party international due diligence process?
One of the first questions a compliance practitioner should ask themselves is: Does the nature of this relationship present more opportunity for concern? Is the third-party performing a professional service (accountant, legal advice) within the jurisdiction, or are they acting as an agent, on your behalf, with a contract manager of a government "instrument?" This is especially important within the industries that have heavily scrutinized touch points with nationalized services e.g. oil & gas, medical device, pharmaceutical manufacturing, defense contracting, and more recently, manufacturing. The nature of the business relationship with a third-party needs to be defined before any level of "reasonable" due diligence can be undertaken.
After assessing the relationship, think for a moment whether your due diligence questionnaire (if you have one in place) addresses issues of interaction with an "instrument." Does the questionnaire ask to disclose government relationships? Does it ask for specific dates of government employment and specific duties while in that position? Does it ask for a disclosure of any political exposure, whether acute or broadly? An effective questionnaire contains effective questions – the risk posed by interacting with an official of the "instrument" is worth devoting time into a well-structured, in-depth due diligence questionnaire.
You have now completed the assessment of the relationship and the initial questionnaire. Great - now what to do with all of this self-submitted, unverified information? Most likely, not every questionnaire and/or relationship will pose an equal amount of concern for risk exposure. Thus, a "reasonable standard" will not be the same for different levels of risk. Cursory checks on database driven platforms will suffice for some engagements. However, anything more concerning than a single red flag needs to be addressed by an agency which specializes in extracting information from difficult jurisdictions. Regulatory agencies have, will, and currently do scrutinize the due diligence standards of an organization to determine their pursuit, or lack thereof, of ascertaining the truth behind the individuals/entities that are engaged. Anomalies within the FCPA due diligence program will be discovered, and ultimately, cited during prosecution.
FCPA prosecutions are rising. Fines are increasing. Access to the global economy demands stronger business ethics for companies conducting significant transactions abroad. As members of the global business community, it is all of our responsibilities' to engage in investigative standards that will permit us a more-clear picture of risk, corruption, and graft. In order to reach this "standard," it is necessary to perpetuate compliant and ethical business standards around the globe.

Plaza de la Virgen, 46001 - Puerta de los Apóstoles
The Tribunal de Las Aguas meets outside the Door of the Apostles in the Plaza de la Virgen, every Thursday at midday, keeping alive a one thousand year old tradition. The proceedings are in the Valencian language and all decisions are final, not subject to appeal. The Water Tribunal is the only legislative structure established by Jaime I which still functions. The Arabs were already using an irrigation system, based on the distribution of the water from the River Turia and the monarch officially established this tribunal to control it. The tribunal is made up of eight farmers who still wear the typical black blouse of the Huerta (the irrigated fields around València). The members are democratically elected every two years by the farmers who use the irrigation system in the Huerta. They sit in a circle on wood and leather 17th century chairs, and make their rulings. The structure of the irrigation system, the participation of the farmers, and the promptness with which the problems are resolved has made the Tribunal world famous and it has been used as a model for other institutions. Efficient and quintessentially Valencian, the Tribunal de las Aguas meets in front of an interested public which often includes young university students as well as tourists.
Every Thursday at noon. On public holidays that fall on a Thursday, the Water Court shall meet on the preceding Wednesday.

Though we generally discourage potty talk at our house, today I'm making an exception. On my latest trip to France and Switzerland, my sister and I had endless laugh sessions from the potties that be.
Sure, you can find gross public restrooms in the U.S., and let's not forget the long-drop outhouses at camp sites or the infamous port-a-potties at big events. Still, we just can't compare to Europe.
First, we have the squatters.
From the outside, it looks like a typical roadside rest stop potty,
but open those doors and you're in for a fun surprise.
Oh yes. Not only is this a place to unload your cares, it's an exercise facility as well. Talk about time management.
And don't even think about cheating on those squats by putting a hand on the back wall. The thing automatically flushes down the entire wall to clear your waste. Not a pleasant surprise (fortunately, that was my sister who found out the hard way).
Next we have the pay potties
Slip your euro in the slot, and you're ensured a cool 20 minutes of private reading time. Just don't get caught up in your book, because those doors pop right open when your time's up.
But on the plus side, they come with the guarantee of an automatic washdown between each use. A word of caution: be sure to dry off the seat before getting comfortable.
And finally, my personal favorite: the metal-seated variety in the high Alps.
So, I used this thing in July, and I nearly froze my little tushy off. I can only imagine the fun experience you might have in January. Drying off your seat before using it is more than just good hygiene if you know what I mean (think A Christmas Story and the flag pole incident).
Now what does all this have to do with writing? Well, I'm sure I could say something about style and making it your own. Or perhaps it's about the improvement process over time. Or maybe something about being aware of the pitfalls of writing . . . but really, I just thought it was funny.
What do you take from this?
I've always been a bit of a sloppy juggler . . . rushing to catch the ball that's about the shatter against the floor (oh yeah, the balls are glass, I'm just sure of it).
Anyway, you get the idea. So many balls, so hard to keep them all in the air.
What are your secrets for not dropping the ball? And seriously here . . .

Press Sample
I have been using Exuviance Bionic Oxygen Facial a couple times a week for the last couple of weeks now and wanted to share my thoughts about this lovely product! Lets start with the basics. This is a mask for people who want a quicker way to fer glowing skin. This mask claims to detoxify and eliminate dullness, help to trigger cellular energy and optimize collagen. The xuviance Bionic Oxygen Facial retails for $65 for 3.2 oz.
This mask is super simple to use and actually kind of fun to watch. All you need to do is massage a generous even layer all over your clean damp face. In a couple of minutes it will start to tickle a little because a thick oxygenating froth begins to form. Its really interesting to watch it froth and then disappear. After it disappears you rinse it off with water and your skin looks and feels amazing!
Above is the product right out of the bottle, its has a pretty blue tint to it. After a couple mintues it starts to look like the picture below. After a few minutes after that it all disappears!
A little back story about this brand. EXUVIANCE® is created by Drs. Van Scott and Yu who are well known in the world of cosmetic dermatology. They discovered the antiaging benefits of Glycolic Acid and created and patented the first Glycolic Peel. How amazing is that?! You know this product has to be good if its made by these smarties!
Have you tried this before? What do you thinking about a self frothing mask?!

Something new is being created in the south-east of Munich! Right next to the garden city of Trudering and the Truderinger Wald woodlands, DEMOS is constructing in several phases a new city district with condominiums, townhouses and its own infrastructure that more than meets today's expectations.
The location is perfect for this purpose: on the one hand, it is right on nature's doorstep and on the other, it offers straightforward access to the city center.
The construction phases "ALEXISQUARTIER – Wohnen am Park" with 1 to 4-room condominiums, and "ALEXISQUARTIER – Häuser" with 4 to 6-room townhouses on separate plots are in the northeast of the new district, right next to the district promenade and the newly emerging district park. Sales officially begin today.
Four different types of townhouses with their own gardens, and condominiums with different floor plans will meet the range of requirements of future owners.
High-quality equipment and furnishings is common to both townhouses and condominiums, for example with parquet flooring in all living rooms, electrical external shutters, underfloor heating as well as modern bathrooms with branded fittings. The underground car park has the option of charging solutions for e-vehicles so that future residents can also look forward to the next generation of automobiles.
You can reach the Neuperlach shopping center (pep) as well as the "Quiddestrasse" and "Neuperlach Süd" subway stations from the ALEXISQUARTIER within a few minutes by automobile. From there, it is only about 10 minutes to Odeonsplatz on the U5 subway.
The nearby Ostpark, the Landscape Park Hachinger Valley or the Perlacher Forst forest are ideal excursion destinations. Tegernsee lake and Lake Starnberg can be reached in just a half hour by automobile.
You can get further information on the "ALEXISQUARTIER – Häuser" new building project here. More about the "ALEXISQUARTIER – Wohnen am Park" condominiums can be found here or just visit us in our Information Center on site — we will be happy to advise you.

DIY Sound Booth
I think we've all done our fair share of looking at Whisper Rooms, or similar branded sound booths. For us starting out that price tag is... yeah. So we start looking at other options. I'd run across one site that just sells the plans for a Whisper Room like construction for around $60. Not too bad, if you also have the skills or access to equipment and labor for the construction. With some more digging I ran across VocalBooth To Go.
I believe it was on YouTube that I found it, but there they have two videos showing how to build a PVC frame to hang their specialty blankets from. It's a super simple design and easy to construct with just the items you can find at a Lowe's or Home Depot. Seeing as how I needed to get away from the HVAC that I had setup near originally, I figured it was time to clear out the workroom in the basement to make room for the new booth.
Item List
First things first, off to Lowe's to get the materials!
I decided to buy 10 poles instead of 8, just in case I screwed up something. I did a lot of pre-planning and sketching but I always want to make sure I have what I need. It's always frustrating to be knee deep into a project and find out you don't have enough material.
Next I marked out the length of all the pieces I'd need to construct the top and bottom frames, then used the PVC Pipe cutter to get everything I needed. What's great is that you can get just about everything you need from the poles. I think I did have to dip into the ninth pole because I miscalculated one cut. Again, glad I bought more!
The first video provided by VocalBooth To Go makes a 3x3x6 booth. I wanted a bit more room than that to accommodate the arm of my mic, so I decided to make a 4x4x6 instead. I did some mathing and edited their original design (based off their video on how to expand the booth to anysize you need) to get to that size. Spoiler, I failed at the mathing and instead made a 4x3.5x6. Not sure how that happened. But, it worked out for me in the end so I can't complain.
Here is a list of all the lengths and cuts of material you'll need. (Note, this is to make my LxW booth. Some of your measurements may vary depending on what you need.)
And there it is. Everything is put together and in place. I put down some anti-fatigue mat foam to help my poor feet and to also combat reflections from coming off the concrete floor.
After this its as simple as putting in the grommets on the blankets and zip tying them to the frame. I put the back blanket on first and then for the front, slightly overlapped them, tying end grommets over one another in order to have a slit doorway. Once all that was done, I threw another, thinner blanket over the top!
I haven't been able to test it out just yet. But the location is what has been most important. It's in a finished basement with four concrete walls and underground. There is another door between the booth and the living area. I'm now several walls and dozen of feet away from the HVAC system and water pipes (which I used to be RIGHT NEXT to).
I'm pumped to see how it goes. Maybe I'll get a sample recording and put it up here. I'll need to, because I know for certain my FX stack is about to have some major changes to accommodate the new space.
12/3/2019 01:56:03 pm
I'm guessing it's been about 6 weeks since you built your DIY booth. Has it proved worth it for you? What, if anything, would you change if you were to build it again? I'm looking to do this project over the Christmas break, so I want to be prepared with materials, etc.
12/3/2019 02:39:35 pm
Hey Rod! It's proven to be quite effective at getting a clean sound. My noise floor is -60db to -55db (depending on outside noise). Which, speaking of, it won't be too great at stopping a lot of what's happening outside from coming in. There was a clock on a wall that I could still pick up even though it was through the blankets, a door, and about 10 ft away.
12/3/2019 03:57:09 pm
Glad to hear it has been an overall success! My room noise is great as is (< -60db) thankfully!) since I'm in a basement. I want to use the "booth" to help with room reflections as the room is quite large (roughly 12' x 18' x 8') with a drop ceiling. I do plan on making the booth 7' high as I don't want the overhead blanket to sag and hit me in the head (I'm close to 6' tall). do you think a support running across the "roof" would be advantageous, or just an unnecessary step?

After WWII, the US and the USSR were the world's strongest nations and were called the superpowers. They fought a war of ideas called the Cold War. The two different democracies never officially declared war on each other but did fight indirectly in proxy wars. The USA was a capitalist country where business owners could keep the money that they made, the people of the nation had a choice and freedom of speech and elections could have more than one political party competing. The USSR was a communist country where the wealth of the country was shared out equally. Businesses would have no competition, as there would only be one company for each product and election would only have one political party.

Some say that the USSR is to blame for the Cold War mainly through countries views on the USSR and what the USSR planned to do with Nazi Germany. Stalin wanted to dominate the world under communism and his takeover europe was seen as the first step toward this goal.
Amongst these differences they , also had different aims as well , as to what to do with Germany after the WWII. The distrust between the USA and USSR emerged very early on, during WWII when the USSR signed the nazi-soviet pact with Germany. This pact stated that no offensive action would be taken between the two sides.

The smell of new shoes, extra cologne and cold hard cash filled the air at Sneaker Con 2019 over two days this past weekend. The scene at the Dallas Market Center, where Sneaker Con took place, was a noisy, colorful and fast-paced spinning world of all things sneaker culture.
The door charged a mere $25 for a single-day pass and $40 for a two-day pass ticket. The crowd's variety, though, was priceless — a mix of people ranging from hip-hop snobs to soccer moms getting dragged by their sons from booth to booth. Sneaker purists were on a hunt for the rarest and most expensive shoes, apparel and accessories. Large booths with impressive setups were decorated with vibrant banners, lights and salespeople ready to sell you your dream kicks.
Rows of smaller booths melded into each other with vendors from all over the country. In the back of the venue there was a sea of smaller vendors using floor space to display their merchandise. The word "Supreme," a skateboarding brand, was everywhere — on everything from lighters and AirPods cases to shirts and even dog leashes. Jordans and Yeezys were the most commonly appearing brands, and a majority of the vendors had multiple pairs for sale.
For the die-hard sneaker fans, there were coveted pairs like the Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Jasper (patchwork) that retail for $4,500, but which were available at Sneaker Con for $3,000. One of the rarest shoes was the Nike Air Force 1 Low Off-White MCA University Blue, which haven't been released to the public yet, and which retail for $2,400.
Many were buying shoes literally off each other's feet, as some vendors used the opportunity to walk around with shoes for sale without renting booth space.
Sneaker Con pulled out all the stops, with an onsite barber and a DJ spinning music — possibly meant to drown out the yells of the haggling potential buyers — and an impressive panel of speakers such as YouTuber Seth Fowler.
"Dallas extended Sneaker Con from a one-day event to a two-day event this year, and that shows the sneaker culture is really growing and thriving here," he told the Observer of his experience. In addition to his YouTube channel, Fowler travels the world while covering sneaker culture and has come to be regarded as a shoe expert.
"It is good to see the culture catching on in Dallas like in other countries like China or other Asian countries," he said. "They're really big into the sneaker movement over there. It's like a whole different world."

The sneaker movement, as Fowler pointed out, now extends beyond the purchase of shoes and shoe accessories, as a practical — though often expensive — commodity. It's become a huge umbrella for production, with manufacturers cashing in on sneaker enthusiasts' brand loyalties. Sneaker Con featured artist booths selling finely detailed wall clocks that were, of course, sneaker-themed.
The event proved that the sneakerhead market is seemingly endless, with vendors who specialize in providing sophisticated methods for prime sneaker upkeep. SupBro, for instance, makes high-end transparent sneaker boxes that both display shoes but also keep them free of dust. Crep Protect also had a booth and displayed their line of sneaker-cleaning products.
Before buying either new or used shoes, the crowd headed over to the "Legit" authentication booth, where, for a price, they could receive a tag proving the authenticity of their purchase. This was the longest line at the entire con, even longer than the endless ATM line. Sneaker Con was well-organized and seemingly prepared for any scenario. Even the Dallas Police Department was onsite in case anyone decided to get ... sneaky.

Arm Gauntlets- cut wool socks, glued wrapped multi-coloured wool down (leaving enough ties for the upper arms and finger)
Black T-shirt- wrapped multi-coloured wool around of the shirt.
Shield- Cut a circle from brown poster board, cut a slit ,fold over to make the shield stick up. Used duct tape and black paint for the accents .

First day in Thailand! We had a wonderful stay in the first Villa we were staying at (where I learnt that you could pay a fee if you flush your own poop!).
We were scheduled to go to another villa closer into town, so we decided to explore and find some lunch before we headed to our next location.
Today we visited one of Hong Kong's oldest cemetery's: St. Rahael's Catholic Cemetery: Roman Catholic Cemetery (Private). What you may not know about me is that I really like exploring old cemeteries. Call it morbid or whatever, but I just like the history you can find when looking through old centuries of tombstones. I always try to see if I can find the oldest tombstone in the bunch – but in this case, it was a lot harder to do. The reason we are at this cemetery is to pay respects to family members who have passed away. When you first drive up to this cemetery it's akin to when you first see the Grand Canyon – vast and never-ending – going for miles. Continue reading
The family split up a little bit today – half of my cousins decided to go and shop some more – the other half are visiting old friends – the other half decided to go check out this science museum that caters to children about workplace safety. Yeah I know. There's an actual SCIENCE MUSUEM for this. Suffice to say, my nephew LOVED IT. He's obsessed with garbage trucks, dump trucks, and excavators. It was a dream come true.
Today is a bittersweet day. It is the last FILMING DAY of 13 Miles! I have literally been apart of this project for a year (I think?). And what better way to celebrate the last day then to have our biggest crew gathering ever. With a special appearance of SNOW!
Thanks Anthony and Helena from Habethy Film for having me along on this special journey! I learnt a lot! And MET a lot of wonderful people out of it.
We filmed at a small airport next to the main YVR airport. It wasn't too crowded and there weren't many signs or billboards anywhere! Making it the perfect airport location to film.
It was such a beautiful day! Who knew the days coming after was just going to be rain rain rainnnn 🙁
This was maybe one of the more challenging hikes (so far) for me. Lots of incline, not enough breaths taken or exercise done to prepare haha
Here's a short story: Ever since my friend Katrina sent me the song "Every Mile a Memory" in 2006 I have been wanting to see DIERKS BENTLEY in concert forever! And I'm so happy to have had that opportunity with SUNFEST COUNTRY (10 years later!) and am able to cross that off the bucket list!

Peru, Nebraska – Chuck Schroeder started sketching the mountain man, John LaBleu, in Taos, New Mexico. The two men soon started swapping stories about rodeo and John's career as a professional bull rider.
Later, Schroeder would write, "John was a professional bull rider out of Lake Charles, LA; lived a rough life, had rough habits. He chose to leave that life behind, improve his lifeways and now lives largely off the land and off the grid in the mountains near Taos in northern New Mexico."
The men talked for two hours as Schroeder sketched LaBleu. After the session was done, Schroeder remembers, his mentor, Sherrie McGraw, was poised to intervene, because most beginning portraitists didn't want their subjects to move – much less have to carry on a conversation with them!
With a smile, Schroeder remembers the encouragement McGraw gave him to pursue portrait sketching. Encouragement that led to the show now on exhibit at Peru State, "Elders: Character Over Time."
Schroeder's show runs through September 21 and is on display in the Peru State Art Gallery in the A.V. Larson Building. An artist's reception will be held Thursday, September 7 from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Gallery. The artist will give a brief talk at 5 p.m.
Entrance to the show, the artist's reception and the talk are free and open to the public. No reservation is necessary.
Schroeder said of his subjects, "I feel very strongly that our society places so much emphasis on youth that we forget this element of our culture."
"These are not portraits of bank presidents, theirs suits or their hair cuts. Some of these folks have made their own clothes; some have known starvation."
"They've stowed away on ships. Completed bike-rides across Europe. They've escaped Czechoslovakia. Sold newspapers to pay for their own clothes at ten."
"They've helped a lot of other folks too – through pain and addiction. After the Snowcat took their wife to the hospital to give birth to their first child, they rode twenty miles on horseback to follow."
Schroeder continues, "These are not perfect, fault-free lives. They knew tragedy and guilt, but they also sought change and have a character worthy of respect and understanding."
A graduate of the University of Nebraska, Chuck Schroeder served as an Executive Vice President of the University of Nebraska Foundation before spending almost twelve years as President and Executive Director of the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He has now returned to the University of Nebraska as the Executive Director of the Rural Futures Institute.
In his artist statement, Schroeder writes, "For forty years I said, 'I fool with art.' Then, at age fifty, thanks to the encouragement of my wife, Kathi, I encountered a great teacher, Renate' Collins, in Taos, New Mexico. Ms. Collins examined everything from my talent to my soul, and said, 'You are an artist. Never let me hear you deny that again!'"
When asked what to look for in his work, Schroeder continues, "I used a variety of media, but it's not a show of technique. Instead, come in and see if one or two of these personalities speak to you."
"Look at my portraits and know they are a lot of fun, that they have a lot of stories to tell."

HRC Funded PhD opportunity
Department of Ophthalmology, University of Auckland
Tackling the vicious circle of dry eye disease
Dry eye disease (DED) is one of the most common, yet undertreated, ocular surface conditions, with a worldwide prevalence as high as 50%. While generally not considered sight-threatening, it negatively impacts quality of life in a manner similar to other chronic diseases, with recognised mental health effects. In addition to dryness, foreign body sensation and pain, blurred vision and reading difficulties are often reported. Multifactorial in nature, DED can arise from numerous interrelated underlying pathologies leading to a vicious circle. However, current therapies often address only one issue, resulting in poor treatment outcomes. Moreover, response to therapy is often slow with adverse effects from formulation excipients such a preservatives and surfactants causing further ocular toxicity upon long-term use, ultimately worsening DED symptoms.
This PhD project will combine clinical assessments with laboratory science by investigating inflammasome markers in DED patients, a potential new target for DED. Recruiting patients from the dry eye clinic, the successful applicant will determine inflammasome markers, using ELISA and RT-PCR, in tear samples collected by the flush method as well as conjunctival cells obtained by impression cytology.
This project is particularly suitable for an optometry graduate with an interest in translational science combining clinical practice with laboratory investigations.

|How do i handle session-timeout in an acceptable manner?
|Wed, 01 Oct 2003 15:16:09 GMT
I have a built a web application on Tomcat 4.1.18. The application is running with a HTTPS connection. session-timeout is configured and works so far. But i am absolutely not satisfied with what happens when a timeout occurs. The web application is configured for form based authentication. When the connection has timed out, the user is presented the login page when he does his next action. And, all data saved with the session are lost. Fine - i could live with that. But what happens in a real case: - The user waits too long - timeout. - The user pushes an INPUT type="submit" and creates a POST operation. - Tomcat redirects to the login page. - The user logs in. - Tomcat redirects to the original aim of the post operation, but he does it as a GET operation. Alternative 1: - My application does not allow get operations at this place ==> Application Error. Alternative 2: - The application allows the vulnerable get operation, but the button that was pushed is not passed anymore ==> Application Error. Now what can i do? I must interfere the session timeout to do an operation. Or i should be able to detemine that the current request is the first after a timeout. The way my application currently crashes is not acceptable.

Hi All
Please can i get some advise on how companies deal with Sales people on the road and given them a lunch allowance
manager's discression.
I have seen many customers handle this in many ways. For example, some have a daily limit where an individual can't have more than a given amount (say $75) on meals throughout the day. This could change if the dinner had attendees where the expense could change to meal-attendees instead of individual meal. itemized receipts are typically required for these type of expenses.
Other clients have implemented a per diem policy where meals are paid for as long as they fall within a governmental allowed amount for that given city. Concur feeds in the GSA per diems on a daily basis for clients who need this service.
Hope this helps.

'BAGS OF HAPPINESS' Choose just one 'bag of happiness' (see above). Then give a reason for your choice. This helps to show the importance of health to people. Make three charts and encourage people to discuss the important things that keep them healthy: YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW? Days gone past For example: traditional healers, herbal medicines, traditional foods, taboos, traditional religious festivals etc. The present day For example: many of the above, health workers, clinics, medicines. Tomorrow? Encourage discussion about things which are changing – new and more processed foods (rice, pasta, flour), cost of medicines and health treatment, the passing of traditional skills in herbal medicines, the ending of taboos and traditional religious festivals. Is 'progress' going to improve people's health or are we losing too many beneficial customs, eating habits and herbal medicines? The tree of health People understand that the roots feed a tree and help it to grow and produce fruit. Here is a simple exercise to underline the importance of good health.
