Nine Abrams tanks fell into the hands of Iranian-backed militias during anti-ISIS fig
Nine Abrams tanks fell into the hands of Iranian-backed militias during anti-ISIS fight
By: Kyle Rempfer 1 hour ago 2-8-18
RE: https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2...ti-isis-fight/
U.S.-issued military equipment, to include as many as nine M1A1 Abrams tanks, fell into the hands of Iranian-backed militias during the turbulent period that swept Iraq as it battled the Islamic State, the Pentagon confirmed Wednesday.
In the Defense Department Inspector Generals quarterly report, the State Department acknowledged the loss of the vehicles to the Popular Mobilization Forces, or PMF, which are primarily Shiite militias strongly connected to Iran but sanctioned by the Iraqi government.
Eric Pahon, a Pentagon spokesman, told Military Times that DoD has not provided defense equipment to the PMF.
However, we have discovered incidents where some U.S.-origin equipment, including M1 Abrams tanks, came into the possession of certain PMF groups, Pahon said. This equipment was subsequently used by these groups in the fight against ISIS.
Regardless, all of these tanks were recently returned to Iraqi Security Forces custody, he added.
The DoD IGs report notes that the State Department pressed the Iraqi government to prioritize the return of defense articles provided by the United States as designated in the sale agreements.
Pahon also pushed back against reports that Abrams manufacturer General Dynamics suspended its contracted support to Iraqi Security Forces over the lost tanks, stating that the Abrams maintenance program for the Iraqi Security Forces remains active.
Official acknowledgment of the tanks whereabouts lends credence to reports that depicted western tech as a pivotal part of the battle to retake Kirkuk from Kurdish peshmerga forces in October.
The Iraqi convoys that descended on the city were led by Abrams tanks, followed by Iranian-backed PMF in U.S.-armored Humvees and trucks, according to Ben Alexander, an American volunteer with the peshmerga.
You cant take out an Abrams with anything they have over here. The peshmerga dont make IEDs [improvised explosive device] or VBIEDs [vehicle borne IEDs], so theyre shit out of luck for Abrams, Alexander said in an interview with Military Times after the battle.
The Iraqi government retook Kirkuk in response to the Kurdish regions independence vote on Sept. 25. The incident stoked debate at the Pentagon about ending U.S. military assistance to Iraq.
The Abrams tanks were sold to the Iraqi government for use by the Iraqi Army as part of the Foreign Military Sales program over the past decade, Pahon explained.
The U.S. Departments of State and Defense cooperate closely to ensure the responsible transfer of equipment and training to host-nation forces in Iraq, he said. We will continue to screen and vet all forces that receive U.S.-origin defense equipment and conduct end-use monitoring in order to ensure that this equipment remains in the possession of the designated end-user.
We continue to stress to the Government of Iraq, as we do to all allies and partners, their obligation to maintain U.S.-origin equipment under the operational control of the designated end-user, Pahon added.
Since 2005, the U.S. government has approved more than $22 billion worth of foreign military sales to Iraq, according to the State Department. The Iraqi Government financed the majority of these arms sales through their own national funds.
O Almighty Lord God, who neither slumberest nor sleepest; Protect and assist, we beseech thee, all those who at home or abroad, by land, by sea, or in the air, are serving this country, that they, being armed with thy defence, may be preserved evermore in all perils; and being filled with wisdom and girded with strength, may do their duty to thy honour and glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Voice SEO Can your business be found with a voice search?
Voice SEO provides context.Voice search will not only replace the traditional way people use search engines, it bypasses search results altogether.
10% (50 billion monthly voice searches) from zero in 2015 with GoogleNow, Siri & Cortana
20% of queries on Google's mobile app and Android devices are already voice searches (2016)
60% of voice search users began using virtual assistants in the past 12 months (2015 survey)
50% of all searches will be voice searches by 2020. ComScore
The evolution of SEO
The growing market for voice-driven search devices has unique implications for the way search results are obtained and delivered. Standard SEO practices must evolve to:
|Use long-tail keywords catered to semantic searches (improve search accuracy by understanding searcher intent and the contextual meaning of terms via schema mark-up and structured data)
|Emphasise location (schema allows you to connect your business to your Apple Maps, Bing Places, Yelp & Google My Business accounts)
|Optimise "read it back" interactions – conversational questions and answers
|Prompt phone calls and other direct actions
These changes can help businesses compete in an environment where vocal interactions are replacing screen time and search engine results page placement which may no longer be a top driver of leads.
Natural language Q&A
Optimising for voice search can be as simple as asking a lot of the most common questions, and proceeding to answer them within your content. Typically, it will be:
- Who?
- What?
- Where?
- When?
- Why?
- How?
A well thought out FAQ page or an FAQ section on relevant pages of your site is also beneficial.
Schema markup
Schema markup makes it much easier for Google and Microsoft's Bing search engine to understand the exact content of your site, giving them a better opportunity to serve your content to the right users. Schema may also generate rich snippets which can lead to a much greater engagement.
The three key components of Schema markup:
Structured data pairs names with values to help search engines categorise and index your content
Microdata is one of the forms of structured data (also RDFa and JSON-LD)
Schema provides a set of agreed-upon definitions for microdata tags. (Schema is a collaborative effort between Google, Bing and others)
These elements can be used to markup pricing, availability, videos, company details, business hours etc. The more accurately a business is marked up, the more relevant it will be to specific queries made through voice search.
Structured Data Examples
Organisation, Local Business, Website & Service
Organisation, Website, Motel & Questions (FAQ)
Local 'Near Me' Search
Voice search is three times more likely to be 'local' than text search, because the majority of voice searches are conducted on mobile devices. This also holds true for 'near me' searches which doubled in 2015 as users turned to their phones to find local businesses.
When you use the phrase "near me" in a voice search, results are returned based on where you are in relation to the businesses.
This highlights the importance of claiming and optimising your Google My Business, Bing Places for Business, Apple Maps & Yelp accounts. Whilst the ranking value of business directories is diminishing, it's still beneficial to ensure the top citations have the correct business category, business name, address and phone number.
If your online listings have different business name variations, multiple addresses and phone numbers, how does a search engine know which result to return if someone searches for you?
Ask your happy customers for (5 star) reviews! The importance of reviews for local businesses can't be stressed enough. This will be even more important when people use voice search and ask to find the best rated real estate agent, day spa or dog grooming salon 'near me'.
Typing is so yesterday. Why write it when you can say it?
The days of typing in a query, pressing search and reviewing the first page of results to find what you're looking for are quickly coming to an end – VERY QUICKLY!
Voice won't kill screens – just like mobile didn't kill desktop, but Gartner has predicted that by 2020, 30 percent of web browsing will be without screens. Voice SEO is the next evolution of search engine optimisation.
Organic search, by nature, shifts significantly every few years. The dawn of voice search is simply the next wave in an ocean of change.
The impact voice search will have on brands
The voice assistants
- Apple's Siri – the biggest – 1 billion mobile devices (the worst voice recognition)
- Amazon's Alexa – leader in voice assistant devices – 3 years, millions sold
- Microsoft's Cortana – installed as standard on all Windows 10 PCs
These 3 virtual assistants use Microsoft Bing for search results and Yelp for local business information and reviews.
- Google's Assistant – the best voice recognition and search results

Look, I love when Spider-Man and the Human Torch go back and forth with their playful banter and teasing, but in Marvel Team-Up 147, Spider-Man went WAY too far. Especially since both Johnny and Sue have always been such good friends to him... And yeah, it's taken out of context, but try to think of a context where that would be an okay thing to say. And no, he wasn't out of his mind or being controlled by an evil villain or anything like that - and even if he had been, not even Dr Doom would ever say anything that horrible.
Seriously, what an asshole!

1913 Taisho Obi Design Book
I am selling this wonderful old design book on my website (link below). It's a book of original handpainted full size obi weaving designs which have been pasted onto old bookkeeping records and bound. It measures 37cm x 50cm and has around 140 different designs; the photos here are only a small sample. The cover reads: 'Design Book , 2nd year of Taisho (1913), 7th volume, Miyake Sei Shoten'. Miyake Sei Shoten was a clothing and fabric shop in central Kyoto which sadly closed last year. This album of designs is from their archive.

Everyday life can be challenging.
It is often filled with worries; family issues; work deadlines; personal fears. After a while, the day-to-day sameness of living life creates a dull existence painted with various shades of gray.
No wonder we lose our joy and our strength.
And that is why I am glad you stopped by because these simple stories contain humor and encouragement that will push you towards looking for joy again.
Will they solve all your problems?
No…..but they can give you food for thought.
If nothing else, for a few minutes, they will brighten your corner of the world.
So pull up a chair, get a cup of coffee, and let me share my stories with you.

Language is the most important aspect in the life of all beings.
We use language to express inner thoughts and emotions, make sense of complex and abstract thought, to learn to communicate with others, to fulfill our wants and needs, as well as to establish rules and maintain our culture.
Language can be defined as verbal, physical, biologically innate, and a basic form of communication.
Behaviourists often define language as a learned behaviour involving a stimulus and a response.(Ormrod,1995)
Often times they will refer to language as verbal behaviour, which is language that includes gestures and body movements as well as spoken word. ( Pierce,& Eplin,1999)

I built this table for my son for Christmas. It was a narrow 10' x 2" thick slab of walnut with one live edge, so I chopped it in half, added a centre section and ended up with a live edge on both sides. Rather than use posts for the legs, I used 1×6 walnut and hand-dovetailed the joints. I gradually increased the size of the dovetails as they approached the centre of the legs, however not enough to make the change very obvious (poor planning). I wanted to definitely show that they weren't machine-made, but kinda failed on that one.
There are some metal fasteners in the table (I typically try to use as little metal as possible, but, for ease of disassembly for moving, bolts were necessary). A walnut 2×6 joins the legs together and I added bamboo outriggers for support. The bamboo was also used to carry the theme over from a walnut grandfather clock I built him a few years ago. The table is finished in 5 coats of lacquer.

Absolutely love the dovetails. If you are like me that first coat of finish on the walnut makes it all worthwhile. Nice work.

Yes, that first coat is always awesome! That's why I enclosed a pic of the first half covered.

Even if you think you can keep things civilized and remain friends with your ex (or at least Facebook friends), there are certain challenges that try your patience. Like seeing your ex live his most #Instaworthy life with a new person.
Who is not you.
What. The. Fuck.
The best thing to do is to ignore it, but since you're not capable of that, here's what to expect.
He's not your man anymore, but that won't stop you from wondering who the shit has their grubby little arms all over your boo? You're broken up, but still. It's like seeing the new tenants of your old apartment. You know it's going to happen, but you don't want it all up in your face.
Before you jump to conclusions, there could be a logical explanation for who that person is. Sure, she has his arms wrapped around him and is kissing the side of his face, but it could be his sister? Okay, you know for his face that he doesn't have a sister. His cousin maybe? Platonic friend who was born without genitals?
Time to do some detective work and find out the answers to some questions. Who is she? How does he know her? How long has he known her? Has he taken her to any of your places? Should you stop doing this? Should you get some sleep instead? Are you crazy?
Once you've combed through all of his Facebook since his timeline started, it's time to go through her Facebook. Or what's public anyways. It's pretty hard to judge someone's character based off of three public profile pictures, but you can pretty much safely say that she sucks. A lot.
You shouldn't judge someone's life based off of their highlight reel, but your former boo and his new boo look really happy together. Like more happy than he was with you. And you want to be happy for him, now that he's happy, but not even Mother Theresa could be that selfless.
What's she got that you don't have? Nothing. That's what. Sure, she has super flat abs and a warm smile, but what's so great about that? She just has that, "I've never known pain or suffering" look, but like, so? She probably farts. Loudly. And then blames it on the dog.
Their social media life looks perfect. Too perfect. Like something's wrong with it perfect. He has to be faking it just to make you jealous and upset, right? He didn't really move on that quickly? He wants you to cry! Well, its working!
He looks like he's having such a good time! Well, you can look like you're having a good time too. Even though you're completely miserable, you can still hide it if you use the right filter. Pro tip: try Valencia.
Breaking up isn't a war, but it is an arms race. You've got to show that your arsenal of #Instafun is bigger, stronger and can blow his shit completely out of the water. You can't stop until you post the Doomsday post - you know, the Instagram post to end all Instagram posts.
Remember when you laughed at her because you know that she farts? Just kidding. She doesn't. She's perfect. She's never broken wind in her life. She doesn't even know how to. Fuck him for moving on with the one woman in the world who is actually a demi-god that you will never be able to pass gas, even if she's trying.
She's probably not obsessively creeping through your social media. Which makes her better than you. You can't compete with that. You don't walk around looking like you've been Photoshopped. Shit.
When you're creeping through your ex's social media, you'll reach a point where you become aware of what you're doing. You'll realize that it's now 3am and you've been doing this since nine at night. You have to stop. You have to get a life.
That life should probably involve getting a new boyfriend. If you weren't so sad and lonely, you wouldn't be missing him, and you wouldn't be doing this. You wouldn't even care that he's dating whatsherface who actually, if you look close enough, does have a pimple in a photo dated October 22, 2014.
Oh yeah. You guys broke up for a reason. Thank fucking god!

Want to smell like a Princess?
Apparently Miss Middleton's scent of choice for her big day was White Gardenia Petals by Illuminum, a little-known British brand.
The scent is described as 'fragrant as a vase of white flowers quivering in the breeze by an open window, this is a delicate and nuanced scent.' Umm, sounds nice BUT doesn't the bottle look extremely masculine, I'd expect to see it on William's bedside table, not Kate's.
Available at Harrods £70 for a 50ml bottle. Get in quick, they'll fly off the shelves now.

Health, whether of an individual, a family, a neighbourhood or an entire region, is the result of many factors. Health is the product of many interconnected influences, external and internal, that are part of our lives, communities, and environments. Within public health, we refer to these influences as the determinants of health.
The Public Health Agency of Canada has identified these 12 key determinants of health:
In Niagara, variations within and across municipalities in the determinants of health (e.g. differences in household incomes, employment stresses, housing, local environmental conditions, etc.) result in differences in health needs, opportunities and outcomes. The determinants of health underpin our public health planning, strategies, and program delivery.
Whether it is regarding the development of poverty reduction strategy, an interaction with a new mom and baby, or school-based programming, we need to be constantly aware of and mindful of the health impacts of the determinants of health.
The impact of the determinants of health is a common thread throughout the themes of the Health Story of Niagara. The truth is that an individual will have the capacity to lead a healthier, more engaged life when they are part of a community that strives to build and sustain the needed resources, supports, and partnerships encompassed in challenges of improving strengthening the determinants of health.

Venice, Italy
Day 23
~ Upon Arrival in Italy, proceed to your hotel. Hotel le Boulevard $453
Day 24
Visit the terrace where Hemingway first read of his supposed demise. The hotel Gritti Palace. Take a day trip via bus to Hemingway sites including the town of Schio, site of the "Schio Country Club," the name given to the headquarters of the Red Cross Ambulance Corps in which Hemingway served. You'll also visit Fossalta do Piave, where Hemingway was wounded as an 18 year old ambulance driver.
Day 25
Travel to Venice proper with a walk to Piazza San Marco. You might want to stop at the Basilica di San Marco, include an elevator ride up the Campanile for a bird's eye view of Venice, and linger at the Museo Correr (museum of Venetian civilization).
Stop for afternoon tea at the Piazza's oldest and most literary cafe, the Caffe Florian and a late afternoon refreshment at Harry's Bar, a Hemingway favorite watering hole where the Bellini cocktail was invented.
After lunch, we'll proceed to Kobarid, Slovenia (formerly "Caporetto, Italy") and the area of the 12th Isonzo Battle (also known as the Caporetto Breakthrough) one of history's major conflicts and a decisive battle and retreat in World War I that fueled Hemingway's imagination for his novel, "A Farewell to Arms." The Kobarid Museum has a balanced approach to the World War I fighting in the region. The city has a large, multi-tiered, Italian War Memorial. The museum honors Hemingway in its entrance way with a large portrait and copies of his novel's manuscript pages.
To get to Cuba, you will first need to fly into Cancun.

From your sister's house in Cleveland to your dad's place in Florida, you've raced around to appease the fam for the past 73 holidays. You thought you'd stay in Chicago this Thanksgiving--only to run into misgivings about having no one to spend it with.
Fear not, lonely heart: You can find a family for a day on Meal Sharing, the Chicago-based website that connects avid home cooks with dinner party guests.
It's an easy way to eat well and make new friends any night of the year. Just sign up for an account and search for upcoming meals taking place nearby. (Japanese in Edgewater, anyone?)
Find a menu that sounds good, then check out the host's profile and reviews from prior dinner guests--you want to make sure she's not a psycho killer and all. Then chip in on the cost of ingredients if required. (Average cost is $8 a person; some meals are free for attendees.)
For this year's Turkey Day, head to the site's ThanksSharing page, where you can find people hosting meals and request an invite to their table. There's even a gluten-free feast going down in Skokie.
Just don't expect the gravy to be as charmingly lumpy as your mom's.

I do not know if you guys ever ran a mountain back in your home country . My first attempt was slightly disastrous. I was really not ready for such effort. The long and gentle incline gave my muscles the hardest time. My quads were on fire, I was out of breath.I considered myself a decent runner on the treadmill . Apparently, my body had a different opinion about the definition of a "decent runner". I stopped a couple a times. I braced myself for the next hill. Bit through the pain and completed the long trail.
For my second attempt, I was nervous. I absolutely knew what kind of pain that was coming. My body was trembling in fear the violent clash against the 233 meters high mountain.
" When fear takes over, stop thinking and go. "
Suddenly the hills were less aggressive. Even though I felt pain in my legs, I still ran it without much stoppage (3 times : 1 minute water breaks). This leads to this blogs next post.
The long tail and the Dip: 10K version
The theory is similar. The long tail is refers to many internet theories about managing competition of the degree of difficulty to surpass the "big guys". The Dip is more about, the time you have to spend in order to get to the "other side" of success and it's real worth.
I was thinking while running, of the hills of course.
Here are the Dip and the long tail graph.
Both graphics are similar and simple. They both show you that there is a long distance between success and efforts and where you stand. The Long tails really focuses on a products and popularity. The Dip focuses on efforts and result.
For the first time, here is the 10K graphic.
The graph presents many concave curves. Those curves represent hills. At some point in your 10K, you will face your own. There will be many challenges. Seth Godin is wrong on this point; there are many times that you will face various challenges. Not once, but many times. The improvement factor will greatly diminish or improvement will be much harder to be felt as when you reach higher levels of mastery, improving even one percent might take months or years. Remember though, the money is into this one percent. Keep pushing. If the view of the mountain is beautiful and beyond words, if the life after getting on top is the reason why you breath, forget about your pain and keep running. Your family, friends, the world needs you to do so. We rely on you to push the standards. We need you to make us proud, to make us cry and to give us that warmth that your fire provides. Bet on yourself. You are putting all the odds on your side.
Of course this proposition is not ultimate. Some of us are born with more boundless talent and greater basic skills, which gives them less aggressive hills to attacks. Some of us, are simply not resilient enough to go through these hoops.
This is why you have to mark the top of the mountain as you end goal. I cannot insist enough that you have to see your objective e-v-e-r-y-d-a-y.
Long post! Hope that makes up for my time spent slaving outside!

The Multiple-choice Intelligibility Test provided stimulus items but special response sheets were provided to allow each subject a possible response of any consonant judged homotypical or homorganic to the stimulus item. Correct answers as possible responses were deleted to provide a usable number of confusions. Subjects were not aware of the deletion of correct responses even after the task was completed. Resulting confusion matrices were analyzed for significant confusions among consonants; these confusions were grouped into mutually exclusive classes termed visemes. The results tend to support previously published linguistic groupings of homophenous sounds rather than the classical listing from the developers of speechreading methodology. Variations from the former are explained in terms of the addition of minimal phonetic redundancy.

[deleted account] ( 26 moms have responded )
Okay we've got DD her own potty that sits beside mommy's big potty with her favorite character on it. Today while we were in intermission for the Dora Live show my friend, who came with us, was asking me how potty training was going. I told him that since she's only 22 months I'm not pushing it but she has her own potty that she sits on. He laughed a small laugh and suggested that I buy one that goes on my potty. When I said it converts for make her more comfortable on the big potty when she's ready he said I should just say screw the small potty and put it on the big potty. That way I can use the bottom of the small potty as a step stool for her to wash her hands......soooo. He got me curious to see which one you guys think is better for potty training. I know I know.....to each their own but I'm just curious to your train of thoughts on this.
Their own little potty vs a seat that sits on the big potty........hmmmmmm.

As we dive into wars in this course, I'll tell you about the war we, "cariocas" (natives of Rio de Janeiro), have learned to deal with in our daily lives. If you've been following the world news, you've probably read about or heard of what is going on in Rio de Janeiro right now.
To provide you with a brief context, Rio de Janeiro has around 1,000 slums, called "favelas", and they're located both in the suburbs and within rich neighborhoods, such as Leblon, Ipanema, and São Conrado, among others. Drug traffickers live in slums – as well as poor, innocent people – and they keep their drug traffic headquarters equipped with war weapons, such as grenades and Russian rifles. The BOPE (Squad for Special Operations) also has these type of armament, but, while BOPE has 100 rifles, traffickers have, only in Complexo do Alemão, the most dangerous slum, 300 rifles shooting 150 bullets per minute (data from 2007).
Rio's current war, in which several cars and buses were burned, is happening in the suburbs, but drug traffickers have planned terror actions throughout the city, sending out messages for people not leave their homes. As if ruling slums were not enough, drug traffickers want to take over the city, and this is when BOPE, the Elite Squad, comes into play. Last Sunday was a milestone in Rio de Janeiro's history. It was the day BOPE, together with the National Army, invaded the Complexo do Alemão after two decades of unsuccessful attempts. They seized tons of drugs, arrested some of the traffickers, and killed others. BOPE will remain in Complexo do Alemão for almost one year.
Rio's drama against drug trafficking was featured on the screen in City of God (2002), a film by Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund. City of God received four Academy Award nominations in 2004. In 2007, José Padilha launched The Elite Squad (Tropa de Elite), about the history of BOPE, which was awarded a Golden Bear at the 2008 Berlin International Film Festival, among others. The Elite Squad is going to be a trilogy, and the number two is playing now in Brazilian theaters. I strongly recommend these movies.
This is a topic that obviously upsets me because I've lived my life afraid of being robbed and hurt, and every time I face my city's scary reality I get sad and worried about my mom, relatives, and friends there. Here in the U.S. at least I feel safe and happy to be away from that chaos. I'm not optimistic in regards to Rio de Janeiro's challenges, but I can't stop hoping that this war will be over someday.

I called United Corp to have a patio and driveway installed. The owner came out to the estimate and fully explained the process and all my options.
I already got bids from 3 other contractors and United Corp beat them all, so I gave them the job. The job was completed in a week, I was really happy with everything. The crew was really helpful and listened to all my suggestions. The took what I had imagined and made it much times better!
I work so much and now I have a place to escape, right in my back yard.
After reviewing this post,there is a patio company in Hicksville ny, this is his patio not ours unitedcorp of New jerseys
You know this is a bs post. It is from a stone yard sample.
Who would really have all those different kinds of some in one patio. Just sayin!
This must be a paid commercial/advertisement for United Corp as the company is very fraudelent. The owners name is Tony and is is very unprofessional.
CUSTOMER BEWARE. They install Techo Bloc products but are not OFFICIAL TechoBloc resellers. Therefore, if anything happens, you do not have warranty with TechoBloc. Additionally, they do not warranty your products after they receive your money.
They may tell you that they do but it is all a lie. To get a warranty, have the owner sign a contract on their company letter head and you put a stipulation that lack of warranty within the period will result in legal penalties against them at their expense.
This company is a total sham. Also hires undocumented/illegal workers and pays them peanuts when he could hire legal US residents or citizens to perform equal or better work.
Spot on review. I would never use this company to do work at my home again ever. Buyer beware!

Oh, menneke. Slightly last-minute, the guys from Off The Charts arranged a show for their buds Apologies, I Have None in Leuven, at the infamous Rockcafé. So, yay! There were a couple of my favourite things represented at this show: Apologies, beer, pre-show pizza, Jordi Ostir, punk dancing, de Pejer and the Off The Chaars dudes.
Because of delay there was plenty of hangout time, which is fun. Punk rock shows are a bit like elementary school. During the sets you have to pay attention to the band, between the sets you talk to friends and meet new people. Like this guy, Arthur, who I've met at the Joyce Manor show, who is a real cool dude and he told me he liked my zine so I like him. That's how I roll.
The difference with school is that school drools and punk rules. Guess you all knew that.
When Silver & Gold started, I was... amazed. I haven't seen them before but I'm totally into it. Hoarse vocals and melodic riffage. Really great show, full of energy despite just coming out of a traffic jam or something. Killer songs & riffs. Yup, I dig it. You should too!
Up next: Apologies, I Have None. 4th time seeing 'em. And you know what they say, huh. Fourth time's a charm! And it was rather charming, actually. After a quick soundcheck they started playing a song I didn't know, with a mic that was showing troubles. It got solved though, and just in time too! The next thing I new they started playing Sat In Viccy Park and everyone went nuts. I'm not fucking kidding! everyone seemed to be into it. Dancing around, moving about, pogoing, punk mosh, stagedives, crowdsurfs, and lots, lots of singalongs. Mic stands barely survived. I think nobody really expected it, neither the band nor the audience. But it happened and it was really fun. It had been a while since I left an punk rock show sweaty like a pig, so that felt pretty good and satisfying. I'm a nutcase sometimes. The entire show was top notch, the band played at what I assume was their very best. All hits, no shits. All kills, no fills. Ya know. The fucking 26, man. The 26, dude. The god damn 26.
Post-show hangouts were lotsa fun. Sometimes I wish my life was a punk rock show. Sometimes I think it is.
Got a ride home with the Dilbeek punx (real punx, pissing on cars and stuff) and walked on top of bicycles.
Great night.
One-ball B.

The data calculations and graphing functions for the widely used alkaline filter elution technique have been completely automated. This saves considerable time and increases both efficiency and accuracy by eliminating human error. The automation was accomplished utilizing Lotus 1-2-3 and Lotus Graphwriter II on a Packard Tri-Carb 1900CA liquid scintillation analyzer containing a built-in pico-XTE computer. A batch file is used to control the overall execution of the process. It copies the data stored by the 1900CA into the Lotus subdirectory and invokes Lotus 1-2-3. A Lotus macro automatically imports the data file, performs the calculations, and prints the results. Graphwriter II is then invoked by the batch file and the charts are composed and graphed. Finally, the instrument operating software for the 1900CA is reentered and sample analysis can be resumed for any unanalyzed samples.

What insurance do you need for hiring or working as a paid carer?
Whether you are a self-employed paid carer, care provider or someone who employs a paid carer or personal assistant, something that you need to have in place is the right insurance.
There are a number of companies in the UK which specialise in insurance for the care sector and it is not too expensive – though it is something that will need to be budgeted for.
The main types of insurance that those providing or receiving care will need to know about are:
Individuals who employ a paid carer or personal assistant
If you employ a carer, whether through direct payments, individual budgets or personal funds, then you need to have Employer's Liability Insurance (ELI). This protects you in case the person that you have employed is injured or ill while they are working for you and they seek compensation against you. You can be fined by the Health and Safety Executive if you do not have the right insurance in place as an employer. The price of your policy will be given for a whole year, but many companies will let you pay on a monthly basis. Have a look around at the different companies offering ELI, as some packages will have extras included in the price.
If you are using a self-employed carer, then you are not required to have ELI as the paid carer must have their own insurance in place, but it is still advisable to err on the side of caution and get yourself insured. Always ask to see the insurance certificate of a self-employed carer before allowing them to work with you.
Personal carers
If you are a self-employed carer or personal assistant, then you will need to make sure that you have Public Liability Insurance (PLI). This is because there are some risks involved in the job, especially if you have to give medicine to your client, or help them move from room to room. Having PLI in place protects you in situations that involve personal injury, errors, accidents, abuse claims and other risks within the job role. Some insurance companies will offer specific policies that are tailored for the needs of self-employed carers.
If you are employed by a service user directly, then they should have Employer's Liability Insurance in place (see above, and make sure that you ask to see a copy of the certificate before beginning employment). However, we suggest that you also take out your own insurance policy. We hope that you never need to use your insurance, but this is definitely a case of better safe than sorry.
Companies who provide care services
Care providers need comprehensive insurance policies in place to ensure that both clients and staff are protected fully in the workplace. These policies will cover things like alleged abuse, theft of property, errors, personal injury and so on. They combine both Employer's Liability Insurance and Public Liability Insurance, as well as extras related to running a business. If you are looking at setting up your own care agency, then make sure that you have the appropriate insurance in place before you begin delivering services. Some of the providers featured here do offer insurance for care agencies and these are tailored to meet your needs. There are plenty of other insurers that also deal with businesses, so contact your insurance broker to find out the best option for you.

It also gives access to a 24-hour helpline to access employment law specialists should you require advice and help.
Self-employed carers should take a look at the Carer & Personal Assistant Insurance (from £89 a year), which is designed to protect you from compensation claims arising from accidents, errors and omissions. It offers PLI, legal costs and 'indemnity to principal', which ensures that a service user, local authority, agency or other organisation through which a carer is contracted is also protected.
Fish Insurance also offers bespoke insurance packages for care providers, charities, agencies and any other organisation that works within the care sector and provides care services.

The Washington County Board of Education sent more people to an education conference in California over the weekend than all but one Maryland county.
All seven members of the School Board and Assistant Superintendent of Instruction Theresa Flak attended the National Association of School Boards Conference in San Francisco, a trip that will cost at least $8,000.
Schools Superintendent Herman G. Bartlett Jr. said Tuesday that School Board members will learn a lot about their jobs at the six-day event, which offers training seminars and lectures.
"This helps us in a very positive way," he said. "I think it is well worth the expenditures as an educational tool."

INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE is on a collision course with us, ready to be beamed down by patriotic alien fanatics. Although the release date is close, it's not quite here yet, so they've released another featurette to whet the appetite. In this clip, star Liam Hemsworth discusses his Space Tug.

Let's be intellectually honest.
Supposedly, investors buy stocks for the long run, banking on companies to become increasingly profitable and shares to perhaps double or even triple as many years go by. But if that's true, then why are so many chief executive officers given multimillion-dollar compensation packages as rewards for the past year, rather than for effective leadership for 10 years or so?
William George, a Harvard Business School professor who was given plenty of multimillion-dollar packages while CEO of medical device-maker Medtronic Inc. between 1991 and 2001, thinks the system is topsy-turvy.

Hello everyone! My name is Qarahn Anbiya, but everyone calls me Q. I'm currently a non-degree seeking grad student, and hoping to move into the master's of sociology program for the fall of 2017.
I'm from Fredericksburg, VA, and I just received my BS in sociology from VCU this past December. I absolutely love anything related to Pokémon or Harry Potter related. My favorite kinds of books are fantasy, sci-fi, and dystopian novels. I have a huge passion for the sphere of higher education. Also, on the weekends I play Quidditch and travel with my friends to play teams in other states.
I've had some experience with collecting original quantitative data, and I've done a good amount of reading on the topic of research itself. As it stands, I have a preference for qualitative over quantitative, but we'll see how that is by the end of the semester!
I'm honestly very concerned about our research proposal having to be mixed methods. I've done quantitative data collection and analysis, and I wasn't good at it at all. I'm a friendly person, so qualitative comes more naturally for me since I get to deal with people more often. However, I hope to learn how to become better at dealing with quantitative data, and I have every intention of doing my very best to make an excellent proposal for the end of the semester.

ULA website further states that Due to the extremely high energy required for this mission, the Delta IV Heavy's capability will be augmented by a powerful third stage provided by Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems.
Orbital ATK (NYSE: OA) is teamed with United Launch Alliance (ULA) to launch NASA s Solar Probe Plus (SPP) mission on ULA s Delta IV Heavy rocket. A fully integrated third stage provided by Orbital ATK will give the spacecraft the high-energy boost needed to send it on its mission to study the Sun s outer atmosphere.
Orbital ATK's third stage leverages flight-proven inertial navigation, avionics, attitude control and separation systems used on the company's Pegasus, Minotaur and Minotaur-C launch vehicles. The venerable STARTM 48BV rocket motor, which traces its roots back to the 1980s, will provide the propulsion. The STAR 48 motor series has logged more than 130 successful missions.One of Orbital ATK's strengths is providing new launch capabilities that leverage flight-proven subsystems, said Ron Grabe, President of Orbital ATK s Flight Systems Group. We are proud to team with ULA to augment the Delta IV Heavy for this very challenging mission.
After separating from the launch vehicle's second stage, Orbital ATK's third stage motor will ignite and accelerate the SPP spacecraft, making it one of the fastest man-made objects in history. During the motor's nominal burn time of 81 seconds, Orbital ATK's flight computer and guidance control system will guide the SPP observatory on its way to an elliptical orbit around the Sun. The observatory, using several gravity assists from Venus, will ultimately pass within 10 solar radii of the Sun, many times closer to the sun than the planet Mercury.
The Sun contains 99.8 percent of the mass in our solar system. Its gravitational pull is what keeps everything here, from tiny Mercury to the gas giants to the Oort Cloud, 186 billion miles away. But even though the Sun has such a powerful pull, it's surprisingly hard to actually go to the Sun: It takes 55 times more energy to go to the Sun than it does to go to Mars.Why is it so difficult ? The answer lies in the same fact that keeps Earth from plunging into the Sun: Our planet is traveling very fast - about 67,000 miles per hour - almost entirely sideways relative to the Sun. The only way to get to the Sun is to cancel that sideways motion.
Since Parker Solar Probe will skim through the Sun's atmosphere, it only needs to drop 53,000 miles per hour of sideways motion to reach its destination, but that's no easy feat. In addition to using a powerful rocket, the Delta IV Heavy, Parker Solar Probe will perform seven Venus gravity assists over its seven-year mission to shed sideways speed into Venus' well of orbital energy. These gravity assists will draw Parker Solar Probe's orbit closer to the Sun for a record approach of just 3.83 million miles from the Sun's visible surface on the final orbits.
Though it's shedding sideways speed to get closer to the Sun, Parker Solar Probe will pick up overall speed, bolstered by Sun's extreme gravity - so it will also break the record for the fastest-ever human-made objects, clocking in at 430,000 miles per hour on its final orbits.

Tomorrow the 36ers will be back to putting out a team sans it's captain, Adam Ballinger. Reports are he showed some signs in Thursday's loss to Sydney before reinjuring his ankle. Helliwell took the bulk of his minutes and while he gives some different looks on D, he's no longer really a threat at the other end of the court. So how should the 36ers rotation adjust?
Starting 5- No change (DJ, Simpson, Weigh, Warren, Crosswell)
6th Man- Herbert. First sub for Crosswell, will likely match up on Jackson. Must stay out of foul trouble and hit some 3's.
7th Man- Creek. Deserves some court time early if Weigh is not having a big influence. Has done what has been required in his limited minutes. Needs an opportunity to show what he can do with an extended period of play.
8th Man- Helliwell. Clarke will be tempted to slot him in for 20+ minutes but he should only be used to spell DJ and Simpson when they need a quick breather or are in foul trouble. He's not suited to guarding Wilkinson or Vukona which really means he should come on when Pledger comes on.
9th Man- Darren Ng. Best used as a backup to Warren or when the team need a bailout shooter. Should see some minutes against the shorter NZ backcourt and could be a factor tonight.
10th &11th Men- Tom Daly & Jan Warbout. Use only in emergency.
The matchups dictate DJ and Simpson must play 32+ minutes each so it's crucial they don't get in foul trouble. As Wilkinson likes to draw opposing bigs outside it's critical we don't give up bad fouls outside the key. Abercrombie will also be a handful and Simpson should match up well on him. Promises to be a good game.
