High Conviction Ideas
Multi-Asset: overall we maintain a risk on stance, played mainly through equities (Europe, Japan and selective Emerging Markets). Nevertheless, we do not think that the current investment environment is without risk for investors: market complacency - in terms of low volatility and high correlation among asset classes - has increased further and some areas of the market (notably US credit) seem priced for perfection. Therefore, we believe it is important to be selective on credit and strive to shield investor portfolios from tail risks through hedging. >Overall assessment
Fixed Income: valuations are getting expensive across the board. In Developed Markets (DM) government bonds remain unattractive and exposed to interest rate risk, especially in consideration of the future unwinding of Central Banks' extraordinary monetary policy. Therefore we maintain a focus on short duration and we prefer corporate over government bonds in the US and Eurozone. We believe it is important to take a more cautious approach to High Yield (HY), due to excessive spread tightening in this segment, while searching for income opportunities in Emerging Market (EM) bonds. >Overall assessment
Equities: we are positive on equities, especially in Europe, thanks to the earnings outlook, investor flows and stronger economic momentum. We also favour Japan and EMs, where earnings have been revised up for the first time in 5 years. In EMs, we prefer selective stories at a country/sector level. We are cautious on US equities which are exposed to the risk of disappointment from policy implementation. >Overall assessment
Real Assets: we believe there is value along the liquidity continuum in particular in the leveraged loan space. We are more cautious overall on private equity because of the valuation issue. In a reflationary scenario, there is still some value left in European real estate (attractive property valuations and possible rent increase), to play through diversification.

"The older I grow, the less important the comma becomes.
Let the reader catch his own breath."
--Elizabeth Clarkson Zwart
Whether I am teaching fiction, business, or English writing classes, most people hate it when we start talking about grammar and punctuation. Adair Lara, author of Naked, Drunk, and Writing, calls it "The inconvenience of craft." How can you not listen to someone who writes a book with that title?
Inconvenience of craft is the part we all wish would just magically appear in our writing the same way a great piece of dialogue or description might; but unfortunately, the last time I looked, there was no grammar muse.
I have had countless class participants who have questioned the need for "all those picky things" teachers seem so focused on that have nothing to do with the content of the paper, story, or article. And here's what I tell them: "Those picky things have everything to do with your content."
I rarely notice good writing until after I have read the text. The reason I don't is because I am able to focus all of my attention on the content. If I do notice the writing while I'm reading, it's because there is a problem: I've gotten confused, can't follow the writer's train of thought, or have to keep rereading a sentence. I stop paying attention to what the writer is saying and, instead, focus on how poorly written it is. You can use beautifully descriptive and flowing prose, biting sarcasm, keen insights, but if I can't follow it easily, you have lost me as a reader.
My advice is two-fold:
Grammar. Learn as much as you can about verb tense, misplaced modifiers, and active versus passive voice. Don't depend on spellcheck or grammar check in your word-processing program, but use them as a guide to check for possible mistakes. Then – and this is most important – make sure you have a good, user-friendly grammar book, so you can look up when to use "lie" or "lay," "who" or "whom," and "less" or "fewer." May I recommend one I use in my business writing classes that work well for college writing, nonfiction writing, and even creative writing: The Business Style Handbook, by Helen Cunningham and Brenda Greene. I don't suggest using it for questions about creative writing style, but it's great for those tricky grammar questions that always stop us cold. Finally, even if you are slightly breaking a rule (should there be a comma before the "and" in a series?), be consistent. People will assume you know your stuff if you always do the same thing each time.
Punctuation. Consider punctuation as you would road signs. Periods, of course, are Stop signs: Take a break for a second, then we'll start up again down the same road, or perhaps we will turn left or right. A comma lets your readers know to slow down and Yield, because you are changing gears or adding additional information. Commas and semicolons are also good Curves Ahead signs: I have a series of items I want to share with you, but I'll provide signs to let you know when I'm adding something more to the series – whether words, phrases, or complete sentences. Semicolons are also good Slippery When Wet or Bumpy Road ahead signs, because if we didn't use them between complete sentences that are not joined by a conjunction (sorry for the use of grammatical language, but you know the old "and," "but," "or," etc.), we would be sliding or bumping from one sentence into another without any forewarning that new thoughts were ahead.
I offer this advice, knowing full well that some of you will throw Kurt Vonnegut's adage about creative writing at me: "First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college." I think there is something to that. I try to stay away from semi-colons in my fiction and poetry, but sometimes, there is nothing better than throwing one in and showing off your ivory-tower expertise.

1. Do a 5K.
Signed up, now I just need to wait! The good thing about The Color Run is that it's not timed, so it's not intimidating for a first race. It just looks like one hell of a good time! I have a couple of friends on a team with me so we plan to have a blast!
2. Disney's Coast to Coast Race Challenge in 2013.
So that would consist of Disney's Princess Half Marathon AND Tinkerbell's Half Marathon or Disneyland's Half Marathon. I've never run more than 5 miles at one time, so this is going to be struggle. But this is my main goal. I'm going to try my hardest to make this happen. I also need to save, save, save for the trips!!

New member here. Hope to find some help.
I placed my Airwolf MVT in storage two years ago with around 120 bars, after one year it was at 78 bars, and after two years it's at 33 bars. Now that I am able to go back to regular shooting I tried to fill it up but I heard a hissing sound that got louder as the pressure went up so I stopped at 100 bars. It took about 3-5 minutes for it to leak out to 33 bars again.
I took the stock off and located what seems like the source of the leak. The leak is from the valve housing assembly from what looks like the pressure sensor with three color wires going to it. The top of the pressure sensor(?) has a rubber seal that is now protruding up on one side. When I push down on it the leak stops, but that's obviously not the solution. Is the pressure sensor gone? I am pretty sure there is a way to seal it up DIY and I will need a new sensor unless there is some internal O-ring or seal that can be replaced if not machine pressure-sealed. Any idea of the cost for a new or used?
Thank you,
Added: Looked into it further and apparently the part with the wires and the rubber seal on top is the pressure sensor. Wonder if it is seated in the valve block with an o-ring and if that would solve it. On the other hand I do not like that the leak stops when I push down on the rubber seal on the very top, so the leak may be internal.

Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova was forced to withdraw from Qatar Open as she is yet to recover from the forearm injury she sustained at the Australian Open, the organisers announced on Wednesday.
The five-time Grand Slam winner has not played since her quarterfinal defeat to Serena Williams in Melbourne last month, although she was included in Russia's squad for the Fed Cup last weekend, reports Xinhua.
"Unfortunately, I will not be able to play the Qatar Open because of my left forearm injury," the 28-year-old said in a statement released by Qatar Tennis.
"I would like to wish the tournament and all the great fans in Doha a great week of tennis and I hope to see them next year."
Sharapova has won in Qatar twice - in 2005 and 2008 - and was a semifinalist in her last appearance in 2013. The Qatar Open, with a prize money of $2,517,250, will be played between February 21 and 27 this year.

Why Do Some With HIV Not Get AIDS? Study of 'Elite' Group May Help Others
Tuesday, July 7, 2009
At first Karen Pancheau figured her son Tyler's nasty rash came from friction on the mats at judo class. But when the rash began dissolving layers of flesh, his father took the teenager for tests, which revealed he had HIV. Karen, too, tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, which she'd apparently acquired from a blood transfusion in June 1982 and to which she'd exposed Tyler during childbirth and breast-feeding. Yet as Tyler's HIV slowly progressed to AIDS, Karen remained healthy.
Various drug cocktails kept AIDS from killing Tyler, but they left him constantly fatigued, and on Nov. 11, 2005, the 23-year-old committed suicide. Remarkably, 27 years after receiving HIV-tainted blood, Karen Pancheau of Portland, Ore., has yet to develop AIDS.
She isn't alone. Bruce Walker, who now directs the Partners AIDS Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Center for AIDS Research at Harvard University, first became aware in 1992 that some people seemed somehow protected from AIDS. He learned about the phenomenon from Susan Buchbinder, an epidemiologist in San Francisco who was analyzing blood from homosexual men whose samples showed they had been infected with HIV in the late 1970s; many had died, but some weren't even sick. Then, in 1994, Walker met a hemophiliac in Boston named Bob Massie, who had become infected with HIV through a blood transfusion in 1978 -- three years before AIDS was identified. "People keep telling me I'm going to die, and I keep living," Massie told Walker.
A few years later, speaking before several hundred doctors at an AIDS conference in New York, Walker asked how many had run across similar patients. When at least half the audience raised their hands, Walker realized that people like Massie represented a real opportunity for research. Walker also understood why these rare individuals -- no more than one in every 300 cases, or perhaps 5,000 of the more than 1 million infected Americans -- had remained so well hidden: "They weren't sick. They weren't coming to the hospital."
Those protected few came to be called "elite controllers" because their ability to combat the virus puts them in exceptional company among infected individuals. Their existence injects a note of hope into a field of research that has become accustomed to failure and disappointment.
Since HIV was identified in 1981, AIDS has claimed more than 25 million lives, and today some 33 million people worldwide are infected with HIV. Although pharmaceutical advances have greatly increased how long many patients survive, those innovations have merely commuted what once seemed an automatic death sentence to a lifetime of battling a chronic disease. AIDS medications are expensive and must be taken daily, creating a logistical nightmare for reaching the poorer parts of the world, in which AIDS proliferates. Many scientists have openly questioned whether truly conquering AIDS, with a vaccine or a cure, is even possible. Against that gloomy outlook stands the relative handful of elite controllers. No one knows how their bodies keep AIDS at bay. Are their immune systems exceptionally strong and effective? Do they possess some genetic trait that protects them? Or does a combination of still-unknown factors set them apart? As more and more elite controllers emerge -- some 500 in the United States have so far volunteered for testing -- scientists hope they will be able to uncover what shields these rare few from AIDS. And perhaps in the process they'll find a way to safeguard everyone else as well.
Like many other viruses, the human immunodeficiency virus does its damage by entering healthy cells, reproducing and releasing copies of itself that then infiltrate other cells. The immune system fights back with several mechanisms, including B cells, which produce antibodies that coat invading viruses, preventing them from entering other cells; and T cells, which find and destroy infected cells. In the typical progression of HIV, a patient's viral load -- the number of viral copies per milliliter of blood -- creeps higher while the number of T cells declines. When a patient's T cell count falls to about 200 per milliliter and an "opportunistic" infection (often pneumocystic pneumonia or Kaposi's sarcoma) takes hold, the patient is considered to have progressed to AIDS.
People with AIDS may have viral loads of several hundred thousand copies per milliliter. In contrast, the viral loads of elite controllers range from a scant 50 down to levels so small that even the most sensitive tests can't detect them. Doctors know these people have the virus only because separate tests have revealed the presence of antibodies to HIV in their systems. In other words, elite controllers aren't HIV-free; they may still be able to pass the virus to others, in whom it may be deadly.
Two characteristics of HIV make the infection an immense challenge for the body -- and for vaccines -- to combat. Most viruses attack particular parts of the body, with, for example, the common cold virus going after the nasal passages and hepatitis infecting the liver. But HIV targets T cells themselves, weakening the very system needed to fight disease. What's more, unlike most other viruses, HIV can mutate rapidly, making it extremely difficult to develop an effective vaccine.
"This isn't just one virus," says Dennis Burton, an immunologist at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif. "You're talking about tens of thousands of different viruses." Even worse, neutralizing one HIV variant simply creates a niche for other mutations to fill.
Early on, researchers discovered that elite controllers aren't infected with a less virulent strain of the disease. But little else about their condition is certain.
Since 2006, Walker and his colleagues have been organizing an international contingent of more than 250 researchers and more than 200 physicians who have elite controllers as patients. Initially funded by a gift from the Mark and Lisa Schwartz Foundation and recently boosted by a $22 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the International HIV Controllers Study is working to identify elite controllers, collect samples of their blood and DNA, and distribute the samples to labs for analysis.

You Ever Try To Sleep in a Really Hot Room?
June greetings, dear readers. It's almost officially summer, so let's celebrate with another sneak peak at an entry from my book. But first, as many of you diehards know, the Seinfeld season 8 DVD came out this week and I picked it up for the incredible price of $29.99. What's special about this season is that this is when they stopped having Jerry's standup at the beginning of the episodes in lieu of non-sequitur jokes and bits. However, since these had nothing to do with the main plot of the episode, they were often cut to save time for syndication. So when I got my DVD set, I quickly watched the beginning of each episode, and for the first time in 9 years, I saw new Seinfeld material. Let me tell you, it was fantastic. So rush out and buy this set if you haven't already, but I know you all have. Now, without further ado, let us get to the entry, which I feel is quite appropriate for this time of year.
Air Conditioner Convenience Isaac says he'll have to get for his move to
- Upon arriving in
, Jerry realizes how hot it is and asks his mother why she doesn't put on the air conditioner; Helen quickly replies, "You don't need the air conditioner." That night while sweating in bed Elaine asks how Jerry's parents cannot put the air conditioning on, Jerry says, "They're nuts with temperature." In the morning, Elaine, who is still sweating, asks once again for the a/c, but neither Helen nor Morty is sure on how to work it; they turn it on, and while Elaine is happy, Helen wraps herself up tightly in a sweater; (20) Florida
- Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer take a drive to a mall in New Jersey to try and find cheap air conditioners; there's only one left and Kramer buys it, causing George and Elaine to walk away empty handed; when Kramer offers his to George, he replies, "No, that's not enough BTUs for my living room." When they can't find the car, Kramer decides to leave the air conditioner in section Purple 23 so he won't have to lug it while he looks, yet he has a hell of a time finding it again (23)
- After Newman gets a speeding ticket, he tries to get out of it by saying he was rushing home to stop a friend from committing suicide; Newman gets Kramer to be that friend, "All we need is a reason why you were gonna commit suicide." Kramer thinks and says, "I never had an air conditioner." Newman tells him, "No. That's no reason to kill yourself," and Kramer replies, "Why? It gets hot at night. You can't sleep. You ever try to sleep in a really hot room?" Newman says, "Every night I sleep in a really hot room, I don't wanna kill myself," and Kramer replies, "Well, I've slept in really hot rooms, and I wanted to kill myself." (42)
- Kramer gets one for Jerry at 30 % off from his friend who works in an appliance store; Jerry wanted one because his girlfriend Amy is too hot in his apartment (64)

It is 50 centimetres long, it weights 500 grams and was recently discovered in the Solomon Islands. It is so big that can open coconuts with just its teeth – according to the local people. But our new 'friend' is now at risk of extinction. Its main threat? Humans. Did you understand what we are talking about? A giant rat.
Until 2015 only local people knew about it. But now that it's been discovered and then identified in 2017 as a new species, with the technical name of "Uromys Vika", researchers also realised it's already risking extinction.
Is that an R.O.U.S.? This giant rat is actually Uromys vika, a new species just discovered in the Solomon Islands: https://t.co/ltl0xMiwox pic.twitter.com/PlZkq3zAAP
— The Field Museum (@FieldMuseum) 27 settembre 2017
This rat could escape the 'eyes of science' until now thanks to its elusive behaviour and a life spent on trees. In fact, the first specimen discovered, was found after a tree was cut down on the island of Vangunu in November 2015.
The massive rodent was examined by researches and the DNA analysis confirmed it to be a new species never classified before. The findings have been published and you can read the details in the Journal of Mammalogy.
Unfortunately human actions already destroyed 90% of its habitat, the local rain forests, putting the newly found animal at big risk – and not only it (Ed.). Will we be able, one day, to create good and long lasting things, rather than destroying them? So far only God succeeded in it – but men are not gods and their results prove it (Ed.).

The southern state of Florida is the home of some of the most beautiful beaches in the United States. Clear blue waters and pale sands fringed by palm trees are every sun seekers paradise and they are all here.
The beaches of Florida are the property of the state and there are over one hundred miles of them in total. So how do you know which one to head for? Our guide gives you an idea of what you can expect from just a small selection of Florida's beaches.
Grayton Beach
This is a beautiful pristine piece of coastline that is perfect for spending time both in and out of the water. Swimming, sunbathing and fishing in the low surf will keep visitors occupied and cool in the heat of the day. There are also canoes and kayaks to hire for the more active among the beaches visitors. If you wish to explore there is four miles of cycle track around the beach area.
Barefoot Beach
The name of this beach conjures up images of castaways and pirates drinking rum. But with three hundred and forty two acres of nature reserve a castaway would be hard to track down in these beautiful surroundings and turtles are easier to find than pirates as many call this beach home. One of the last undeveloped barrier islands in the state it is popular with anglers and those who love to explore in peace and quiet.
Dog Island
This beach has been described as the Galapagos of Florida and visitors who take in the powdered unspoilt sand and the blue water will understand why. This island is in the north western region of the state and during your visit you can try your hand at diving or snorkelling.
St Joseph Peninsula State Park
On the tip of a coastal barrier in the Florida Panhandle this beach offers ten miles of unspoiled sand on which to enjoy the stunning backdrop of the high dunes. For an even better view of the dunes take to the water in a hired paddle boat. Camping is allowed in the dunes and the area is popular for hiking and biking. Don't forget your rod so that you can fish for your supper.
Harry Harris Beach Park
This is deep down in the south of the state in the Florida keys. South facing it is an ideal spot for simply playing in the calm water and snorkelling.
Anna Maria Island
This island has it all. Visitors can hike, kayak, canoe, snorkel or swim. Here you can rent a bicycle from one of the small shops and explore the area under your own steam.
The beaches above are a selection of the most peaceful beaches in the state where you can soak up the sun and enjoy Florida at its best. There are of course the body strewn beaches of Miami, Lauderdale and Tampa bay on the Gulf of Mexico. These all have their own appeal but for nature lovers and those looking for relaxation they may be too commercial and crowded. For a bit of soul searching, or simply to get away from the madding crowd head to one of Florida's more deserted coastal spots and discover the real charm of Florida's beaches.

I don't really know how to develop Good habits..
Even though I used shout at my Sister Nathiya about the importance of some Good habits .. I am never committed about it.
First I wanted to study something technical everyday at home and at office. But I never followed even for a week continuously.
See.. even Iam writing this blog at office time.
and I wanted to go for jogging. That continued for a week or two. after wards ????????/

This also needs to be taken.

"I like... birds" - Eels
When I turned 40, through confluence of factors I became interested in watching birds. The variety of birds that come through Tacony never ceases to amaze me. I saw quite a few varieties from my porch on Passmore Street, but the backyard of the ranch is even better.
Last year I finally saw male and female cardinals. Last week, I finally saw a blue jay. Today I was standing outside, between trips from the garage unloading groceries, thinking that the variety of birds wasn't especially interesting a the moment. It was a great day for loitering in the beautiful spring morning, so I did, interesting birds or not. My loitering paid off though in more than just pleasant loitering.
My Peterson Field Guide to Birds of East and Central North America is pretty good at helping to identify various species. Google Images helped to confirm that today I saw a prothonotary warbler, which would seem to be about 1/2 mile from its preferred habitat. Wow is it yellow. I'm not used to seeing birds this vivid here in the city, but maybe I never really looked before. Who knows what I missed the first 40 years.

A journal entry from: See you next year!
Advice to vegetarians and children with pets: Skip this entry!
As soon as we crossed the border with Peru, we were invited to someone´s house to have lunch. Isabel, a Peruvian woman we had shared a car with, explained that she had a house in Tacna, a border town of Peru, and no children, so she and her husband enjoined having guests over. The English couple we were travelling to Arequipa with were up for it as well -and we were hungry- so we accepted the kind invitation.
In the meantime, Isabel had phoned her husband, in order for him to start the preparations for lunch. Arriving to her house we were welcomed by a few noisy dogs and she showed us her animal farm-like roof terrace, full of chickens, geese and sweet and innocent-looking ...Guinea pigs! (Or cavias for the Dutch among us).
We knew we were going to have to eat Cuy at one point in Peru, but that it was this soon we hadn´t expected. Lunch was great however, all we had to do was not make any connection in our heads between the nice, little pets we had just stroked on the roof and the meaty bones on our plates.
Besides, the husband had killed the one on our plates already before we arrived. It was only a bit odd when he explained that the little creature used to be completely white and because of that called "El Gringo". But then again, would a Argentinean steak taste any different if you had known the name of the cow?

After you watch this 'one shot' music video that I recently produced with them, I think you will agree these three gentlemen are very talented musicians.

Looking out of the bedroom window I thought back to when I was working and having to drive to work in the rain. No day starts well when the first challenge is trying to make headway among speeding traffic while peering through a rain-splattered windscreen! It didn't get any better when I'd arrived as I'd invariably have to deal with the insanity of a boss who truly thought I really ought to be able to read his mind and that knowledge could be transmitted by osmosis. Then there was his wife who thought I could see through walls and could tell her what any particular piece of paper she waved around related to without actually having to see it!
As a happy housewife, my greatest challenge was stripping and changing our bed, cleaning through upstairs, trying to dry some laundry and making dinner!!
Financially, we may not be as well off as we were then; but we really live like kings now.

I have been a Daniweb memeber for the last 3-4 months. I am now learning C++ on Linux on my own using the tutorials available on this very good site. But I always struggle a bit and sometimes a lot when I am looking for C++ related threads and discussions/code etc. Can we have a dedicated section for C++ discussions instead of having C and C++ together under the category Software Development. If not then, can we just request the members who want to post a language specific question (C or C++) to make the title of the new thread/question by following the below given simple rules in order to help all of us here.
Name of the language C or C++ in capital letters, followed by a ' :' and then the actual question starts. Something like this,
C++ : How to declare this variable?
C : How to use this method?
Hope I am not trying to discredit the hardwork of the forum admins or site designers. This is just a polite request with the best possible intentions. Please let me know if this is a sensible request. Cheers.

Patriot Review #9November 21, 2013
It was a week of new beginnings and successful closures for the Patriots as the fall sports' season comes to its end.
Kicking things off for the Patriots, Paul Patton's Lady Patriot's soccer team hit the road for Columbia, Ky. to battle Cumberland University (15-3, 9-0 MSC) for a chance to advance to the Mid-South Conference championship game. For the majority of the contest, the Patriots held the #9 Cumberland Bulldogs to just one goal from a header in front of the net early in the first period. However, the Patriots fell behind 2-0 late in the second half when Cumberland broke away and scored the winning goal on a "one on one" shot. Even though the Patriots could not muster a goal in the contest they had a lot to be proud of, seeing that their advancing to the semi-final round was the furthest that a women's soccer team had gone in school history. In addition, four Patriots were named to the All Mid-South Conference Second team roster; Macy Higdon (Elizabethtown, Ky.), Chelsey Landrum (Independence, Ky.), Courtney Hagedorn (Highland Heights, Ky.), and Adrienne Bishop (LaGrange, Ky.) were all named to the roster, thus giving St. Catharine a strong showing.
Even with the soccer season officially ending, the Patriots still had an opportunity to compete for a Mid-South Conference title as the volleyball team (21-13, 11-7 MSC) made their semi-final debut against the Lindsey Wilson Blue Raiders (18-0, 36-3 MSC). With an impressive win against the Shawnee State Bears (17-15, 9-9, MSC) in the opening round, the Patriots looked to be in sync. The Blue Raiders came out of the gate quickly, downing the Patriots in set one, but the Patriots rallied in both sets two and three to keep it close. However, they were unable to overcome the red hot hitting of the Blue Raiders to fall 3-0. The Volleyball Patriots finished their season with a school high of 11 conference wins in addition to the deepest conference tournament run in school history. Furthermore, the Patriots had three athletes named to All Mid-South Conference rosters, two of which earned first team honors. Allie Southard (Louisville, Ky.) and Shauna Stone (Bardstown, Ky.) were both named to the All Mid-South Conference First Team roster with Rebecca Just (Louisville, Ky.) earning a spot on the All Mid-South Conference Second Team roster as just a sophomore. The excitement continued for volleyball when it was announced that Head Coach Jason McDannold had been named the Mid-South Conference Coach of the Year in only his first year at the helm. McDannold took the Patriots to new heights and looks to continue their success at an even higher level in 2014.
With the fall seasons ending, basketball heated up as both the men's and women's teams took to the road for their final contests before opening conference play. Following a productive exhibition contest with the West Virginia State Yellow Jackets, the Lady Patriots took to the road to battle Wilberforce University. For the Patriots Rianne Hofstraat (Netherlands) led the way with 27 points, nine rebounds, and five blocked shots; Hofstraat kept the Patriots within striking distance by scoring on 11 of 21 field goal attempts and posting a 50 percent mark from behind the arc. The Patriots kept the battle close thorough out the second half with the assistance of Machera Calhoun (Fort Meyers, Fla.) and her 16 total points. Coming off the bench, Cora Moore (Louisville, Ky.) nailed down 18 points and gathered six rebounds in her 11 minutes of play. Even with strong performances, the Patriots were unable to overcome the deficit and dropped the contest 93-84.
The men's basketball team continued their early season success as they were able to down Wilberforce University 90-70. The Patriots were led by stellar performances from Omar Skinner (New Castle, Del.), Julito Hutchinson (Atlanta, Ga.), Romeo Lewis (Detroit, Mich.), Taron Franklin (Philadelphia, Pa.), and William Tolefree (Stone Mountain, Ga.). Each tacked on double digit scoring, while Tolfree carried the torch with 13 points and 10 rebounds for a double-double.
Rounding out the weekend for the Patriots, the bowling team took to the lanes as they traveled to Louisville, Ky. to compete in the "Striking Knights" hosted by Bellarmine University. For the men it was a sixth place finish as they bowled a nine game total of 7940, placing them in front of several NCAA Division one institutions such as Indiana University, Northern Kentucky University, West Virginia University, Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, and Southern Illinois University-Carbondale. The Patriots were led by Billy Lundy (Bardstown, Ky.) with his 11th place finish. Lundy tallied a nine game total of 1803 for an average of 200.33 per game, placing him just short of the top ten. The "Alley Pat" women finished in strong fashion, nailing down a top five finish with a nine game total of 7452 placing them in front of NCAA Division one Morehead State University, Northern Kentucky University, University of Louisville, and Indiana University. The women were led by Tiffany Webb (Louisville, Ky.) as she nailed down a sixth place finish with a nine game total of 1601 for an average of 177.89.
The Patriots will be back in action this week as the men's and women's basketball teams open conference play with the University of Pikeville on Thursday followed by a showdown with Bluefield College on Saturday, both in Lourdes Hall.

Preparing the pond for winter
You have built a pond, planted it with plants and settled there living inhabitants. All summer did observe a small world, with interest to discover something new… autumn has Come. Now we need to think about how to save water world in winter. Well, if the weather isn't frosty, but if not? All you need to provide.
Prepare ponds for winter starts in the fall, in October. First of all, you need to thoroughly clean the ponds from organic debris (tree leaves, remains of plants, fish excrement, etc.). In winter because of low temperatures reduce the activity of bacteria that decompose these residues. The result is the siltation of the bottom, reduces the oxygen content in the water and increases the content of nitrites and ammonia. Naturally, such changes can adversely affect the inhabitants of the lake, if not to destroy them. After cleaning of organic residues, it is necessary to trim the leaves and shoots to the very root. This applies primarily to plants – oxygenators. These include the water Crowfoot, hornwort, bolotnitsa, twrch, canadian Urrutia, lagarosiphon, tilea, rest and others. The leaves of these plants die off for the winter and if they advance not removed, they will rot and pollute the water. Not only cut the cane, through the hollow stems in winter will be given carbon dioxide to enter and oxygen to simulsays and plants.
Many aquatic plants "invented" a way to survive the winter cold. In autumn they formed buds that sink to the bottom and "sleep" there in the spring. If the pond is artificial, it is desirable to cut the plants these buds and transfer them to winter indoors. This stored the buds in the spring will sprout and turn into new plants. And do it faster than if left to overwinter in the pond. Continue reading
Kelp – brown algae, which have long been eaten by the people who lived near the sea. The edibility differ only in some of its species: laminaria saccharina and palmately dissected laminaria. They are called sea cabbage. Information about its usefulness became widely known, which explains the popularity of this product. But despite this, around kelp considerable controversy supporters that believed in her neoteleostei, and opponents who believe that the damage to health caused by it doesn't pay get the benefit.
After the extraction of dried cabbage, as it is 80% water, but during drying the product does not lose useful properties, fully preserving all the vitamins and minerals. In the process of manufacturing kelp is minimally processed, which also does not destroy valuable substances, does not lead to their loss or collapse due to exposure to temperature.
The composition of seaweed and the main areas of its application
Laminaria has an unusual smell that repels some consumers who prefer familiar foods and decide on questionable experiments. However, her continued presence in the diet in recommended doses equivalent to the use of nutritional Supplements, because the composition of seaweed rich in mineral substances: iodine, zinc, cobalt, magnesium, sulfur, iron, manganese, and vitamins A, E, C and B. It is the undisputed leader in the amount of iodine in the composition, 100 grams provide organizational the intake of iodine, and in this form it is not excreted, what happens when absorbing it from other sources. On the contrary, it absorbed better than advertised, and expensive drugs. Continue reading
Sleep pond
It's cold and frosty, and, of course, the owners of HOMESTEAD ponds are concerned, is properly prepared their ponds for the winter. However, if certain recommendations of your fish and other pond inhabitants can easily move even the most severe winter.
If the pond is large enough and its depth is more than 1.5 meters, then all its citizens can be safely left in place, through some measures to ensure their safety. Before freezing the water in the pond is saturated with oxygen, and the fish it would be enough for a long time. But the dead leaves of aquatic plants and the waste products of the fish will decompose in cold water and allocate detrimental to the inhabitants of the marsh gas pond.
For saturation of water with oxygen and removal of marsh gas must be cut in the ice hole and to ensure that they did not freeze. In no event it is impossible to break the ice with a hammer or other object. From the strong sound waves can hurt the fish.
To make the hole carefully and all the rules, you can use a simple way, taking a small metal container and adding hot water to gradually melt the ice. You can use the screws – a special device for ice fishing. Keep in mind that the thickness of the ice in the cold if your pond does not covered and will be 40-60 cm
During the winter as little as possible disturb the fish. At low temperatures water pond inhabitants fall into sostoianiia rest (hibernation) and are located at the bottom of the pond. The fish stops feeding and consumes less oxygen. Continue reading

Rapper T.I. has publicly distanced himself from Iggy Azalea.
What went wrong? Iggy got into too much Twitter beef. Especially petty beefs with T.I.'s friends. And when he would put the work in to be peacemaker, Iggy would say or do something to start the fight up again.
Seemingly referring to his protegee as "They", rather than "Iggy", the rapper distanced himself from her and explained why in a recent radio interview.
Here's what T.I. told New York's Hot 97 Ebro in the Morning:
"In her defense, she had a lot thrown at her at one time. Any human being anywhere gon' have a hard time adjusting…
Some stuff they brought upon themselves. In some cases it kind of was just the easiest place to put some pent-up aggression.
After the Q-Tip thing….After I kind of had smoothed it over, like okay, 'What is really meant to be said here is…' After it was cool, everything was cool, and then they kind of came back and undid what I had just [accomplished].
I'ma be all the way real: I'm a loyal partner. If I rock with you I'm gon' rock with you…I really do feel that they just needed a little more time to adjust, which I feel they can do.
They have the talent, they have the charisma."
They can't seem to agree who dumped whom, business-wise. He says he dumped her, but still gets a percentage as the person who discovered her. She says she dumped him and "friendships don't require contracts".
Iggy responded by ranting on Twitter (which is why she was "dumped" in the first place).
Heres the deal, I am still signed to @tip and do business with him. The first ive heard of us having an "issue" is via a radio interview.
— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) September 17, 2015
Personally, i dont think the radio is the place to talk about your personal issues with someone thats part of your team…
— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) September 17, 2015
He seems to think theres nothing wrong with what he said, everybody else seems to disagree.
— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) September 17, 2015
Im sure tip will publicly clarify what he meant when he feels he has the right platform to do so and other than that, im chillin.

We recently had a client who had never had a massage, though she wanted one – and needed one – desperately. The client – we'll call her Marianne – spent countless hours on a lap top and suffered from chronic neck and shoulder pain. She had considered massage but was always reluctant. Why? Marianne didn't like the way she looked. She couldn't imagine allowing a stranger to see her body, and all the "jiggly parts" she disliked. She had a very negative body image.
At the encouragement of others, Marianne finally relented and had that first massage. Here were a few of her many comments …
-"I realized the therapist didn't see my 'body'. She saw a shoulder… that was bound up tightly and needed help. She saw an arm… which she stretched to help relieve my shoulder's tightness."
- "She saw my body as a series of muscles and parts that needed to work together differently… not as anything that jiggled or not!"
-" I never felt exposed or embarrassed. I never felt uncomfortable and I certainly never felt I was being evaluated on anything other than how my body was functioning."
- " I should have tried this years ago!"
These types of stories are common throughout the Massage Therapist community. New clients don't realize that therapists are 'body blind'… literally, as many of them perform their massages with eyes closed to better feel the muscle and tissue on which they are working. However, it's tough to overcome people – and in particular women's – issues with negative body image in order for them to experience this. Years of believing their bodies are unattractive makes disrobing for a massage intimidating.
Even more frustrating, massage can be one of the tools used to actually improve a person's negative view of their body image.
In an article about massage and body image by Laurie Chance Smith in Massage and Body Work magazine she states, "The way we experience our physical self on the mental plane can become habitual and may generate habitual patterns of muscle tension. Since regularly schedule massage positively affects body and mind, massage can help us release physical and mental patterns of tension, enhancing our ability to experience our bodies (regardless of their shape or size) in a more positive way."
We now see 'Marianne' on a regular basis for massage therapy in our studio. She clearly feels better physically, but perhaps even more exciting to us is how she feels emotionally. Her body parts – jiggly or not – are working better together and she's loving herself a little bit more.

Who says that beauty is in super elaborate and sophisticated clothes?
To me, wearing simple basic pieces, such as a great pair of jeans modeled on your figure or a good t-shirt, can be the right chance to free your imagination and have fun by adding to your outfit refined items that you can buy in markets, during your travels or even done by yourself!
Looking to the runways' suggestions, for example, we can notice a particular attention to the embellishment of our neck through the use of removable collars, made of various shapes and materials.
As always, this is just an example because there are many many solutions that you can find on your own playing with scarves, brooches (personally I found some really amazing ones owned by my granmother) and so on.
Imagine to be a blank palette and draw your exclusive painting!

- Court: Oregon Court of Appeals
- Area(s) of Law: Civil Procedure
- Date Filed: 06-21-2017
- Case #: A158052
- Judge(s)/Court Below: Lagesen, P.J. for the Court; Garrett, J.; & Schuman, S.J.
- Full Text Opinion
Plaintiff appealed the dismissal of her medical malpractice claim for failing to provide adequate notice in a timely manner. On appeal, Plaintiff argued that Defendant's act of paying for additional medical procedures required by complications of a previous surgery constituted 'payment' and stopped the statute of limitations under ORS 30.275(3)(d). In response, Defendant argued that the discounted medical treatment did not constitute a 'payment', since Plaintiff never communicated her intent to file a claim at the time that of the service. Payment by a public body for any part of a claim can constitute notice. ORS 30.275(3)(d). A "person who makes an advance payment … with written notice of the date of expiration of the period of limitation for the commencement of an action … does not suspend the running of such period of limitation." ORS 12.155(1). The Court of Appeals held Defendant's remedial procedures constituted an advanced payment and the statute of limitations was tolled because it never provided Plaintiff an expiration date for her claim. Therefore, the lower court erred in dismissing Plaintiff's claim. Reversed and remanded.

Little Dauphin and the power of Genetics
I have talked to parents who have more than one child and inevitably, they admit that there usually is one who is the real favourite, however much the best parents strive mightily to conceal it or repress it. Certainly, where my Cats are concerned, i have loved all of them, but in any litter, one or two will touch the heart to elicit a deeper or more poignant response.
In both of her litters, Beauty had one Marmalade Kitten. In the first, it was Pumpkin, aka Dandelion. In the second, it was the little Dauphin Soleil, so called because his older sibling would have seniority. Pumpkin's colour changed completely as the months passed. His fur now is tawny rather than orange, with only the faintest trace of any markings. Little Dauphin at three months still is fiercely orange.
It is not for their colour, however, that I felt a particular love for these kittens, but for their personalities. Mind you, although the other kittens quickened different emotional responses in me, those responses were no less profound.
The two Marmalade Kittens are very different in personality. Pumpkin was a watchful kitten, even when he was a month old. He would look up at me, head slightly tilted and watch me thoughtfully, even when his siblings would greet me boisterously, clamouring for attention and food. Pumpkin never ignored me, but he would remain wherever he had been when I entered the room and yet, head tilted a little, look up at me searchingly, fixing his entire attention upon me. As soon as I touched him, he would begin to purr...
When I lived in Manhattan, a close friend of many years adopted a couple of my Cats and he called one of them his Shaman for exhibiting similar characteristics. For whatever reason, Pumpkin no longer fixes his gaze upon me as completely, possibly because of the atmosphere of utter chaos that reigns with the five Tiny Babies underfoot. He still is the only Cat who does not clamour for food or attention, preferring to watch from a distance, to trust me to deliver whatever he needs and he still will purr as soon as he feels my hand upon him.
The Tiny Baby who resembles him most physically shares the same sweet trusting disposition. He is far more athletic than his older brother, but he shares the trait of purring as soon as I touch him. He is utterly perfect physically and emotionally and utterly lovable. Of all the Tiny Babies, apart from his little sister, Iseult of the White Paw, he is the one who will be most difficult to surrender to the care of another.
Iseult of the White Paw and her sister are the two Tiny Babies who differ physically from all the Puttikins. They have the most extraordinary markings. I originally thought they would be Blue-Cream Persians, which would be a throwback to one of their grandparents. Instead, they have red as well as white in their fur and are more like Calico Cats. It is little Iseult, the 'runt' of the litter, who pulls at my heartstrings. Her sister, very similar in appearance, may hold slightly more promise of extraordinary beauty, but is far more certain of herself and far more aggressive. Tiny Iseult looks up at me as though begging me to care for her.
The most incredible thrill in the world is that of watching the wonders of Nature unfold. Although I would not have wished for another litter of kittens, still, experiencing the birth of new life is one of the great joys in existence, and especially when every new life is a kitten. Physically exquisite, emotionally responsive, filled with curiosity and love: how could a person NOT respond to these tiny creatures?
When I think of the people who could drown a litter of newborn kittens, throwing them into a sack and letting their lives be snuffed out without a moment's hesitation, it makes my blood run cold. I have studied humankind and I have studied felines and between the two, Cats are more deserving of life and our protection, in all honesty. The sort of perverted, hothouse sadism and selfishness that is exhibited again and again by humans is seldom found among Cats. Even when neglected or treated badly by a former owner, a Cat usually will come to respond to kindness and love in time...
When a Cat is feral, moreover, that is no more than the cat's natural instincts for self-preservation and not a desire to interfere in the lives of humans in any way.
But enough of these gloomy musings! The photographs here show little Dauphin Soleil playing with Osiris' favourite toy.
