This is the incremental 1.24a beta patch for BF2142.
Because of the major change to the anti-ship missile tracking system we would like all our players who enjoy flying gun ships and transports, or who enjoy shooting them down, to give us your thoughts on how good or bad the change is. With this change our goal is to implement consistency into ship to missile encounters across the board. With this in mind we are releasing a beta of the 1.25 update early specifically for feedback on this change. Please visit the forums at www.battlefield.ea.com or your local major forum to give feedback to us on this change.
•Fixed PAC Titan geometry exploit: Players may no longer sink into the hull of the PAC titan to freely attack defenders, consoles and the core. •Fixed EU Titan geometry exploit: Players may no longer sink into the hull of the EU Titan to freely attack defenders, consoles and the core. •Fixed Squad Leader Drone bug: The spawn placement of the SL drone has been raised to prevent instances where the drone would kill the Squad Leader. •APM Tuning: The detection radius for Anti-Personnel Mines has been reduced. Players will need to walk much closer to APMs in order to set them off. The blast radius of the APM has also been decreased. • Fixed radar grenade bug: The bug which caused the radar grenade to sometimes not appear on players' mini-map has been fixed. •Fixed Bridge at Remagen Exploit: Players will no longer be able to move inside the west facing slope on the bridge. •Moding addition: Editing for 'Physics. AirDensityZeroAtHeight' has been added. •Moding addition: The command 'object.listObjectsofTemplate' has been re- added to the rcon_invoke command list. •Improved SAAW missile tracking: The SAAW will now consistently track all airborne targets. The missiles are now fire-and-forget but require a slightly longer lock on time. •SAAW Missile damage increase: SAAW Damage per missile has been slightly increased. •Improved Gunship missile tracking: The Gunship missiles will now correctly track all other airborne targets. Please note that the missile behavior when fired at ground targets is unchanged •Improved Gunship Gunner Cannon: The projectile speed and damage for the gunner position cannon has been increased for both gunships. •Static AA missile tracking improvement: The EMP missiles fired from the static AA has been improved to properly track when locked on to enemy ships. •Static AA Missile lock on range decreased: The range which static AA may lock onto ships has been reduced to allow ships 'spaces of safety' around the maps. •Fixed Gunship and Transport Ship Active Defense: A tail section for each of these ships was not properly covered by active defense. This has been corrected to fully protect all ships. Please note that the visual effect for active defense has not changed. •Gunship TV Missile Adjustment: Damage for Gunship TV guided missiles has been slightly increased • Fixed fence exploit: Bullet deviation has been added to all fences to prevent a game play exploit. Please note that players behind fences will be more difficult to hit at medium-long ranges due to this change •Duplicate CD- Key issue: Changes to the CD key check to help prevent issues where players receive a duplicate cd-key error when joining servers. •LMG Adjustments: The Bianchi and Shuko have been normalized in their settling rates to correct a minor imbalance. •Automatic Drone adjustment: Health points for the Sentry Gun, Accipiter and Otus drones have been reduced. •Sentry Gun targeting adjustment: Sentry guns will now take slightly longer to fire on their targets. The sight range for the sentry has also been slightly reduced. •Fixed Medic Hub bug: Fixed a bug where players would occasionally receive a new medical hub immediately after it was deployed

Hi all- been lurking around the forums and have been impressed by the builds people are doing/ have done-!
liking the idea of a vertical space saving machine-!!
My build is an 8x4 cutting area- router at the moment-
looking at a cncusb card, steppers digital drivers, running on hiwin rails (25mm i think) driven via rack and pinion- maybe with a drivebelt reduction- with a decent spindle- maybe with tool changer in the future.
bed-wise- was thinking of a tnut affair with a 25mm mdf sacfrificial bed, routed to create a home made vac table.
on a welded steel frame, with the y maybe being an ali extrusion
main questions are-
are ball screws better than rack and pinion for the motion?
whats the best size steppers to use- was looking at nema 23's? http://www.zappautomation.co.uk/sy57...otor-p-38.html
is there a cheap but good source of hiwin rail?
does anyone have a list of ALL the electronics needed for a build like this- ie limits, tool height etc, or anyone fancy specifying the job?!! coz theres so many differing opinions/ suppliers out there- to be honest ts confusing me-!!!
think thats about it ...for now...!!

Ballscrews are more accurate than rack and pinion, however they generally require a higher power motor to achieve the same feedrate. My machine is 1.7*0.74m, so a bit smaller and I used ballscrews all round. The main problem with using ballscrews on the longest axis (X) is preventing the screw whipping. The vast majority of people who do it and want good feedrates buy large ballscrews with a high lead (e.g. RM2525), and big stepper motors to spin the screws with good bearings at both ends. This will work perfectly well, however if instead of rotating the ballscrew you rotate the ballnut and fix the ballscrew you can use a much smaller motor since only the ballnut and a shaft is spinning. The moment of inertia of a ballnut with bearings/shaft etc for a 25mm ballsrew is small by comparison to the whole 3m (approx) ballscrew, hence it will accelerate faster and obtain a higher feedrate with the smaller motor. This is how I did it on my machine:
This also means you can now use 10mm pitch ballscrews, i.e. RM2510 which are significantly cheaper than the higher pitch screws as you can order them from eBay (linearmotionbearings2008) instead of using a supplier in England. The end mounts for the ballscrew are also simpler and therefore easy to make yourself. On my machine I used 3nm Nema24 motors with 70V (PM752) drivers, but if you spin the screw you'll need a two Nema 34 motors with high voltage (240V, 2m2280) drivers to get a good feedrate. So you save a lot of money on the ballscrews, motors, drivers and end supports but spend a little more on bearings. For me I reckon it worked out at about a third of the price to do it this way which should make it much cheaper than a rack and pinion. Compared to the standard way cable management is more difficult, and you add the weight of the motors to the gantry (negligible), however that's also the case with a rack and pinion.
25mmm profile rail is almost certainly excessive. Look at what size rails commercial machines use... 20mm or perhaps less would be fine so long as you space the bearing block out sufficiently.

Puberty is an awkward time. Everyone is faced with awkward situations and new experiences that are almost guaranteed to make them feel embarrassed – and none more so than dealing with periods. Buying tampons or sanitary towels for the first time is liable to make most young women feel conspicuous and awkward. But if you are an adult who has been menstruating on a regular basis (and one would hope that it was, at least, fairly regular) for several years and still feel awkward about buying tampons, it's probably about time to have a sit down and think about why.
Le Parcel is a new subscription service which offers monthly deliveries of sanitary products to make period prep "headache free". Customers select the products they need, to be delivered, along with some chocolate (not enough, in my opinion, to sustain someone through the trauma of several days of heaving bleeding) and a gift, a few days before the beginning each period. There's even a video on the website to introduce the subscription and explain "why every girl needs Le Parcel": the main reasons being, apparently, that presents in the post will magically make periods stress-free, and you might forget to buy tampons, silly you!
Quite apart from feeling a bit patronised by the whole endeavour, there are several practical reasons why I wouldn't choose to use the service if it were available in the UK. At $15 a month ($20 including shipping, according to Yahoo!), it's expensive, and with delivery and all the extra packaging it's pretty eco-unfriendly. The greatest reason, though, is that I just don't need to. Most women I know, rather than buying a month's worth of tampons at the start of each cycle, have a stash they keep in a drawer somewhere that they top up any time they're running low. This leaves little danger of running out at an inopportune time. Like most people who need to eat at relatively frequent intervals to live, I go grocery shopping several times a month. Frankly, the time and effort taken to select thirty items to make up a bespoke period package is not likely to be any less than dropping by the 'women's health' aisle (or whatever slightly euphemistic label they're using now) in the supermarket. Sure, there might be times when we forget – but very rarely have I been so incapacitated that I've been unable to leave the house.
Despite being wasteful and expensive and all the marketing screaming "you are incompetent!", I can concede that Le Parcel might be attractive to some people on the basis that it's convenient. What's jarring is the emphasis on discretion – the subscription service promises to save you the embarrassment of "awkward stares at the checkout stand". The press surrounding it carries the same idea – it's described as a "discreet" service providing "mystery gifts" for the bashful buyer. But why does it need to be mysterious? Why should we feel awkward about buying such an ordinary thing? By saying it's an issue, companies such as Le Parcel perpetuate the idea that we should feel awkward or ashamed – that it's immodest not to make an effort to be discreet about such mundane events. They do so, of course, to boost sales. As we well know, thinking of ways to make women feel insecure in order to sell them what they don't need is the sole aim of marketing executives everywhere. Whether it's using hideous euphemisms to avoid talking about women's bodies in an overly scientific or reasonable manner or telling us that buying sanitary products is embarrassing, it all reinforces the idea that we should be ashamed of our bodies. And shame is something I'd rather not buy into.
So, as it turns out, the claim that "every girl needs Le Parcel" is an empty one. I certainly don't need a delivery van in order not to feel awkward about myself.
I'll buy my own tampons, thanks.

Being a police officer is not for everyone and joining as a senior manager will bring further challenges on top of this. Policing can be physically, mentally and emotionally demanding but it is also a very rewarding career. Whilst the focus of this programme is to bring in individuals with exceptional senior leadership skills from outside of policing you will still need to take on the responsibilities of being a police officer. Because of this you need to ensure that you are right for this role.
Before applying you will need to be sure that you have the skills and abilities that the programme is looking for, the motivation and commitment to undertake the demanding programme and the aspiration to help shape the Police Service.
This tool helps you identify whether this programme is for you. It explores your eligibility to join the police and assists you in deciding whether you are suitable for the demanding Direct Entry (Superintendent) Programme.

Invasion speeds for structured populations in fluctuating environments

Theoretical Ecology
, Volume 4, Issue 4, pp 423–434
First Online: 13 October 2010Received: 11 June 2010Accepted: 23 September 2010
We live in a time where climate models predict future increases in environmental variability and biological invasions are becoming increasingly frequent. A key to developing effective responses to biological invasions in increasingly variable environments will be estimates of their rates of spatial spread and the associated uncertainty of these estimates. Using stochastic, stage-structured, integrodifference equation models, we show analytically that invasion speeds are asymptotically normally distributed with a variance that decreases in time. We apply our methods to a simple juvenile–adult model with stochastic variation in reproduction and an illustrative example with published data for the perennial herb, Calathea ovandensis. These examples buttressed by additional analysis reveal that increased variability in vital rates simultaneously slow down invasions yet generate greater uncertainty about rates of spatial spread. Moreover, while temporal autocorrelations in vital rates inflate variability in invasion speeds, the effect of these autocorrelations on the average invasion speed can be positive or negative depending on life history traits and how well vital rates -remember- the past.

Trainer Kuah Cheng Tee's well-known partiality towards US-breds will no doubt grow further after Big Wave opened his account at his sixth start in the $85,000 Restricted Maiden race over 1400m on Sunday.
Big Wave is the first progeny by US stallion Blame to race at Kranji. The son of Arch is famous the world over for being the only horse to have inflicted champion mare Zenyatta her only defeat right at her last career star in the Breeders' Cup Classic in 2010. Top jockey Mike Smith was widely held responsible for the unsavoury ending to the fairytale in the way he held her too far at the back in the running.
Kuah might not have been fully aware of such dramatic background when his US-based uncle rang him up about the unraced Blame two-year-old, but he liked what he saw, and did not fail to give a nod to American breeding and the people who help him source some of their finest for the Singapore market.
Big Wave (Ryan Curatolo) produces his winning burst in Race 2, picture Singapore Turf Club
"I love US-breds. I think they are more suitable to the racing here, especially on the Polytrack, as they race on the dirt in America," said the Singaporean trainer.
"I'd like to thank the US trainer who recommended Big Wave, Don Bernard, and of course my uncle, who is based there and helps me to buy US horses.
"He was quite keen in the box-seat today and I have to say I was a bit worried, but once Ryan (Curatolo) took him out, he was more relaxed and he gave a nice kick in the home straight."
Curatolo certainly had half the battle won when he was able to steer Big Wave, who was backed down to $16 favouritism late, from his wide alley into a perfect spot behind race-leader Kranji Gold (Michael Rodd).
But then, Big Wave immediately started to pull when the pace slackened up, even causing him to lose his spot to fifth but still hugging the rails.
Luckily for him and his backers, Gingerman (Zawari Razali) whipped around to come and inject more speed into the race, which was when he settled a lot better.
Kranji Gold sure looked the part when he opened up at the top of the straight, but as hard as he tried, he had no answer to Big Wave's superior turn of foot inside the last furlong.
Big Wave went on to score by 1 ¼ lengths from Heng Kingdom (Glen Boss) with Kranji Gold third another neck away. The winning time was 1min 24.44secs for the 1400m on the Short Course
"He jumped from a wide gate but it wasn't too bad in the end as he settled behind the speed set by Michael Rodd's horse," said Curatolo.
"But when they slowed up the pace, my horse was quite keen. He was okay when they went faster and when he went through a gap, he was just too good.
"I think he's still not 100% mature but he has a bright future here."

UK and Europe Recession Predictions
2012 did not start on a high note for the economy of UK. Even since December the previous year the citizens have been warned countless times that there is a huge possibility for a recession to occur. There are so many factors that contribute to this, one of them being the crisis in the Eurozone. The very slow, and even negative, growth of the economy is the most telling of the possibility though. Take a look at how the UK economy fared in 2011:
GDP Growth
1st Quarter: 0.4% growth
2nd Quarter: 0%
3rd Quarter: 0.6% growth
4th Quarter: -0.2% growth
For the entire 2011 the country's growth did not even reach 1%. When the economy boosted to 0.6% during the 3rd Quarter, everyone hoped that the economy would at least pan out on that level until the end of the year. At the very worst, the prediction was that the economy would contract by 0.1%. The country is truly in a bigger problem now that the contraction exceeded the economists' and government's expectations.
This problem isn't exclusive to the UK. Other European countries, just like Italy, Franc, and Germany, are also going through serious economic troubles. Other members of the Eurozone are just as equally affected by the crisis in the currency union. It's not surprising then that recession is not only limited in the country; it is also a risk for the rest of the continent.
UK Already in Recession
By looking at these figures and based on the alarmed reactions of Prime Minister Cameron and Chancellor Osborne, UK is getting into a serious economic trouble, if it isn't in one already. According to the country's leading firms for economic analysts Capital Economics, UK is in fact already in a recession. More reports are also cropping up about the possibility of a double-dip recession this year.
The Chancellor remains positive though that the fiscal plans laid down by the government will be strong enough to pump life back into the country's economy. PM Cameron has also assured the public that the government is doing everything in its power, with no time wasted at all, to strengthen the economy again.
What the Citizens Can Do to Cope with Recession
The worst effects of a recession will always be felt by the masses: average citizens whose salaries are just enough to cover their needs and occasional wants.
If in 2011 majority of the people in UK were already struggling with income squeeze caused by inflation, stagnant salaries and unemployment, they will definitely have a harder time dealing with a recession. It is possible that more people will find the need to borrow money from banks, cooperatives, and private lending institutions. For those who will end up in such a situation, it will be to their best interests if they avoid short-term lending schemes with very high interest rates attached.
If the purpose of a loan is to pay off a former debt, a debt consolidation will be a better choice than, say, payday loans. It would be better to engage in a debt management solution than to risk even more at get-money-quick schemes.
It is important to be careful about borrowing money in 2012. This obviously won't be an easy year, and ending up buried in debt will only make matters worse for anyone.

Techniques with Connection 104: Ones Put money Is usually BREATED!
Builders get a great deal attempt in the businesses approach. Nevertheless, there does exist another thing that will purpose that put money to remain given away, BREATED! The only thing that attempt is usually sacrificed.
With regard to builders next general public will work assignments (city, condition, together with federal), businesses is usually that they get hold of innovative work opportunities. Considerably explores constructing that job idea. That calculating, subcontractor rates, supplies, insurance coverage, everything will take time period. As soon as their own put money is usually breated, people drop plenty of time together with charge bucks along with the gross income are generally unrealized. That is the substantial pressure direction ought to stay away from.
The approach
Virtually without the need of exemption, general public will work assignments involve put money safety measures to help go with that idea : constantly written like some sort of Put money Connection. That building contractor implements a Connection Inquire Mode to help advise that surety in the forthcoming put money occurrence. People condition a predicted agreement charge (ecp) relating to the connection inquire mode, that's that center in the underwriting selection. It's the rough anticipated level for any Effectiveness Connection that will comes after in the event the agreement is usually honored.
That ecp can be a guesstimate. From time to time that subs are available in above anticipated. Product bills may well increase, particularly when completely unique solutions are generally predetermined: costly electro-mechanical accessories, or anything else. From time to time one more put money phone number can be purchased in above everyone anticipated. In that case precisely what?
The down sides
It will be easier that put money paperwork do not help the brand new, better level : producing a sacrificed ability.
This could possibly come to pass in the event the put money connection suggests some sort of optimum $ level. Country wide assignments are generally need a connection with regard to "20% in the affixed put money, inch significance the idea on auto-pilot manages to your agreement level increasingly being written. Nevertheless now and again, some sort of "capped put money bond" is usually written, and therefore you won't stick to that agreement level previously mentioned that ecp that's authorised. Case, some sort of 10% put money connection is usually written for a job projected and authorised with $500, 000. Which means in the event the connection is usually given, you won't end up truly worth a lot more than $50, 000. In the event the building contractor submits some sort of idea with regard to a lot more than $500, 000, that put money safety measures is usually missing: Idea is usually given away! (How pick in the event the put money connection is usually given? Discover following *. )
Now and again (common with Innovative Jersey) some sort of Approval with Surety is in addition needed. That surety ought to condition "we assurance to help trouble that P&P connection. inch The following way too may very well be given, "This Surety Approval will be in force to get some sort of agreement level not necessarily in excess of $500, 000. inch These ever again, that put money is usually breated in the eleventh hour : way too missed to get the paperwork re-issued for any better level.
Stop and Clear up The challenge
A few plans people propose:
1. Tend not to shortchange that projected agreement level. Attempt to avoid slice the idea tight. There does exist do not ever an issue in the event the building contractor offers as few as anticipated.
2. Tend not to get that connection prematurily .. Make an attempt to get that rates and at the least get hold of signs with subs together with manufacturers. With the engineer's produced approximation (in that put money advertisement) definitely isn't a satisfactory rationale for any connection inquire.
3. Inquire in the event the connection, surety approval and electrical power with personal injury attorney can have some sort of optimum $ benefits that can get enjoy. Recognizing about this is usually about half that showdown. Take into consideration rising that ecp to make a cushioning.
As soon as facing a final instant improve unsupported by way of the Put money Connection and Surety Approval
1. Advise that surety rapidly! Once they re-approve that put money for any better level, innovative paperwork may be released. Originals may be run provided and electronic digital replications can be utilized : when recognised by way of the obligee.
2. When made way for by way of the obligee, that $ benefits in the put money connection may be supplemented which includes a loan company test. Take note: When a Surety Approval is called for, the following page ought to be improved.
Dignity Restrict
Recommendations a critical edition: Precisely what measures is suitable should there be a final instant improve, together with there is absolutely no RESTRICT relating to the put money connection and surety approval. In such a case, not a single thing to counteract that building contractor with carrying on along with the "higher as compared to authorized" put money level.
We could gold coin some sort of words these, that Dignity Restrict is necessary. That Dignity Restrict is a ecp that's authorised by way of the surety. Is a building contractor able to regard that connection acceptance approach? Once they is unable to get hold of re-approval in period, might people nevertheless send that put money together with care about the idea in the future? That connection corporation plans that building contractor to help dignity that acceptance words. It's fundamental when a continuing connection is usually sought after. In such a case a painless telephone call may very well be just about all that's required. That surety can easily concur that the upper projected agreement charge is usually authorised.
* Given Put money Connection, test words: "Ten Percentage in the affixed put money to never surpass $50, 000. inch

There is a proclamation sent out from the Throne our Lord Himself, declaring freedom to the prisoners, pardon to the sinners and healing for the broken. The King has declared His love for all His dear children–come to Him and be reconciled.
The Only Safe Place
It's a clear, crisp morning where I am. From my window I can see the sky, brilliant and vivid without a cloud in sight. The world, for now, is unmarred and lovely; dark thoughts and troubles have faded into nothing. If only it could remain this way!
Your way may seem easy now, or perhaps it has only started to grow rocky. But there are storm clouds piling on the horizon. The narrow road will grow narrower until you are walking on a knife's edge and there are cuts and bruises on your feet. This world is dying and all who take life and nourishment from it will die also.
The Lord spoke to me this morning through a word. He warned me that great trouble will soon come upon all of us and many will turn from Him. The only safe place, He told me, is in His love. We must know to our very bones that He loves us. HE LOVES US. THE LORD OF ALL THINGS LOVES EVERY CELL, EVERY ATOM IN YOUR BODY! Now is the time for us to come into the fullness of His love. It's time to stop simply reading about His love and revel in it. We must tattoo His names over our hearts, repeat them every waking hour. He is our Shield, our Daddy, our King, our Lord and our Lover in the purest and truest sense.
When our eyes are opened and we see how dear we are to Him, He will grow dearer to us. Who, having seen the Lord's heart, can remain unmoved by it?
He is our only safe place. His arms are our refuge and His love is our shield.
Only three things will remain: faith, hope and love. And the greatest of these is love.
Soon and Very Soon
I've been missing in action for awhile but I'm hoping to get some posts up in the next several days. For now, here's another fantastic word through Glynda Linkous. Our Lord is coming soon!
Those that don't come out of the harlot shall take the mark.
Sobering. Please don't skip over this but ask the Lord about it as I am. There's so much I don't yet understand but the Lord will show us in due time. Blessings in Him.
In my time with the Lord today, He said these words to me: Son, tell My people that I am a God who is near and not afar off.
Word from the Father:
Oh, My people. I come to you this day to express My love to you all and to warn. Yes, the days ahead will grow darker as gross darkness covers the land and people. But hear Me, My children. I do not want My own walking in darkness. It is not My desire for any of My children to perish. But because of the powerful force of this coming darkness, many of My children will lose their lives. Yes, there is martyrdom, My children. But I do not speak of this now.
Many of you believe that you are right with Me because of the false teachings of man. The truth of My word has been defamed…

House Cleaning
Here's a link to a very timely prophetic word that the Lord spoke through Glynda Linkous. The Lord has definitely been speaking to me and those around me that it's time to get right and start walking straight. We have to get rid of anything standing between us and our Lord.
As always, seek the Lord on all words and be blessed! 🙂

Our Impact
Making A Difference in Our County
We're working hard for the citizens we serve. Here are some examples of successful projects from the past year:
The UGA Extension office in Lee County conducted meetings on pecans, cotton, soybeans, corn, peanuts, weeds and crop diseases. The Agriculture and Natural Resources agent, Doug Collins, received $2,950 from businesses in support of county production meetings. He also taught plant physiology and soils and soil fertility classes to the Dougherty County Master Gardeners. Technical assistance provided totaled 684 site visits, 752 face-to-face interactions, in-office visits and 919 phone contacts. Eight monthly agricultural newsletters were produced. A total of 54 articles were included in the newsletters, and Collins wrote four of those articles. All newsletters were emailed to approximately 100 farmers and members of the agricultural industry. Collins wrote 52 weekly newspaper columns, published with accompanying photographs, in the Lee County Ledger. Topics of the column related to homeowner issues like gardening and landscaping. Three interviews with the agent were broadcast on WALB-TV. Collins taught a lesson on agricultural water use at the Water Festival. A PowerPoint presentation and a quiz-bowl-type game were used in 29 sessions to teach 719 fifth-graders and teachers how water is used in an agricultural setting. County Extension Secretary Jan Weathersby handles client soil, water and plant tissue samples for laboratory submission and helps growers obtain and receive credit for pesticide licenses.
Lee County 4-H members, led by 4-H Agent Mallory Wise and Educator Jennifer King, were involved in a wide variety of activities in 2016. They learned a wide range of skills, from marksmanship and teamwork to reasoning and public speaking. The Project S.A.F.E. (Shooting, Awareness, Fun and Education) shotgun team is still up and running. There are nine certified coaches and over 30 team members. Lee County was represented at the Area Poultry Judging Competition and Cotton Boll and Consumer Judging Competition, where the Junior teams placed fourth. There were 14 participants at District Project Achievement. This past summer, 41 kids, four adults and three Teen Leaders attended summer camp at Rock Eagle 4-H Center. Youth also had the opportunity to attend 4-H20 Day Camp. Two 4-H'ers were selected to serve as summer camp counselors last summer. In an effort to raise funds for camp and shooting sports, Lee County 4-H'ers sold more than 5,000 lbs. of Vidalia onions. Other opportunities for participation included a dog club, our after-school club for middle and high school students, and numerous community service events. Our dog club did a variety of activities, ranging from making dog treats and collecting toys to donate to learning about dog breeds and volunteering at an animal shelter. We conducted a large service project that included counties from all over the area. They donated old cotton shirts that the youth used to make toys for the dogs and cats at the shelters here in Leesburg and Albany. It was a huge success and we look forward to bringing more opportunities to the youth in Lee County in the upcoming year.

The one I didn't use.
by aninsignificantspace
This image was a major pain for me, It was a difficult decision to make leaving this out and i'm a bit disappointed now. I left this image out mainly because I thought it was a bit to obvious I didn't want to seem like I was explaining my images. On reflection I wish I hadn't left it out , it could have worked really well alongside the other pieces.

As the world leader in holiday rentals, we offer the largest selection of properties for any travel occasion and every budget. We're committed to helping families and friends find the perfect holiday rental to create unforgettable travel experiences together.
We had a wonderful week here as a large family party. The terrace and outdoor eating area is spacious with an amazing view that you will never tire of. The kitchen is big, and very well equipped for a rental property. The pool is huge, and you can do proper lengths, but you can also go down to the river which is very close by and lovely for a dip. St Jean du Gard has several weekly markets, a zip wire place for kids (and adults!), steam train, canyoning and there are endless beautiful walks in the area. A good choice for an active holiday or just reading a book by the pool. We were a large group of 14, so some of the bedrooms were not as nice as others, but this was outweighed for us by the positives. Would definitely go back.
We have just spent a wonderful fortnight in one of 3 gites, all beautifully presented, ours with terrace & views over the surrounding hills. Outdoor shared area with pool, from where we enjoyed views again over the surrounding hills whilst swimming. The owner lives on site & was very welcoming & hospitable, as well as helpful & informative about the local area. There was easy access to walking & running, from the door, & further afield we were able to visit the gorge du tarn & adventure parks. A great place to relax & unwind, as well as providing a base for the more active.

Home > Policy > Innovation > Circular Economy > Waste Management
The chemical industry continuously strives to minimise waste by developing resource efficient production processes and innovative products enabling significant resource savings across the value-chains of many important industry sectors.
Where waste cannot be avoided the European chemical industry seeks to keep the value of materials and energy in the economy for as long as possible. On average, 50% of the industrial waste generated by the European chemical industry is being recovered. Although we continuously strive to further increase the recovery of industrial waste according to the waste hierarchy, Cefic believes that an approach based on life-cycle thinking is needed to choose between different end-of-life management options. Consideration of a proper life cycle analysis of products and post usage processes will ensure that waste is managed in a sustainable way to benefit the environment, society and the economy.
All too often waste legislation and its application by individual member states, creates legal barriers discouraging investments in business practices seeking to optimise the utilisation of valuable resources.
Read Cefic Case Study on by-product and waste definition: the case of crude glycerine
Currently the Directive 2008/98/EC on waste is being reviewed as part of the Circular Economy Action plan published by the European Commission on 2 December 2015.
Cefic strongly believes that this revision offers an opportunity to remove regulatory barriers preventing the chemical industry from reintegrating valuable resources in production processes and to take the first steps to move towards a resource oriented legislative framework.

The Coffee Bean Picker

I love this Chris!ReplyDelete

I love the detail particularly in the soles of the shoes. Also, how do you come up with the idea of drawing a coffee bean picker? Were you watching a Discovery channel program on this? I don't think I could just pull into my head the look or process of coffee bean picking without having a prompt.ReplyDelete
Ha! Thanks, guys. Yeah, the coffee bean thing just sort of popped into my head. I did read an article on a coffee grower a couple of months ago that I would bet is the genesis of the idea. Isn't weird how that stuff sort of sits around the back of the mind? Anyway, glad you like it!ReplyDelete
I love the colors and painterly style. Beautiful layout!ReplyDelete
The colors and lighting on the plants are lovely.ReplyDelete

The Gift.
The boy stands alone in the dark. Normally he would be afraid to be out here by himself, but tonight there's no room for fear. Tonight, it's going to happen. He knows it, feels it in his bones. It makes his hands shake to think about how much he wants to prove them wrong.
His eyes see nothing - just blackness all around. There are no stars. He can hear the sea rushing against the shore, far enough away that he can't feel seaspray on the air; so close that he can hear nothing but the constant suck and crash of the waves. It helps him to block out the rest of the world, helps him to concentrate on his task. Nothing else matters now.
His hands are rigid with the strain, knuckles white and fingers curled up to the sky like claws. He can feel the energy gathering, growing, piling up on itself in the tips of his fingers. With every passing second it grows stronger, and from somewhere deep inside himself he wills it to stay alive, to take that final leap to spark and combust. The energy is building, hot and burning, but he ignores the pain, trying not to think about running to the sea to plunge his hands in the waves. He cries out as the heat intensifies again, a sudden burst so strong it must surely be making his blood boil.
Then, the flames appear. They dance and flicker on his fingertips, crackling against the cold night air. Furls of smoke rise from his hands, illuminated by the bright white fire that was once a part of him. The pain is gone now, replaced by a satisfying sense of power.
A triumphant grin breaks across his face.

The Bratko Asian Art Museum was opened in 2003, fulfilling the dreams of local Dhimiter Mborjes (1903-1990), artist, photographer and collection of Asian art and antiquities.Though Borja was born in Korça, he traveled extensively throughout his life, spending most of his years in the U.S. This museum has 432 objects on display, including a piano, Chinese altar, Japanese kimono, an embroidered Chinese belt, an Indonesian sword, European medals, Japanese paintings, and different photographs that Borja took while on a post-war mission with the UN.These photos in particular are unique, as they display the social and cultural history of the east immediately after WWII, as well as the important role that the American forces and General MacArthur played in the economic and institutional rebuilding of Japan.Museum Archivist Zobel has said regarding Borja : "" He was a genius.He came to this place with nothing, and with only his hard work he became famous.This alone is enough to show the strength of his character."

Seasonality is one of today's key drivers for flavor innovation. It allows products to capture consumers' attention due to defined timelines and availability of specific flavor profiles. Nothing drives demand like scarcity and the possibility of it not being available forever.
This holds especially true for the food and beverage world. From craft breweries to artisanal ice cream to the beloved pumpkin spice latte offered in the Fall…well it really has become late Summer all the way into winter – almost pushing Spring – but hey, it is still considered "seasonal".
One last thought…keep it fun, exciting and interesting. Push the boundaries and excite and delight your consumer.

Two "biggies" have always played power in the kitchen. You may have guessed right: Kitchen Aid and Cuisinart.
What specific products? Another easy guess--the electric mixer and the food processor.
Kitchen Aid electric mixer was the first mixer to be mounted on its own stand (in 1920), and Cuisinart food processor revolutionized this important category in 1973.
Known to be one of the sturdiest electric mixers ever built, the Kitchen Aid electric mixer is a baker's dream. It whips up billows of egg whites in no time and has the strength to knead stiff bread dough. There's only one thing wrong with this machine, which in fact is stated in the manufacturer's instruction booklet: "Your Kitchen Aid mixer will mix faster and more thoroughly than most electric mixers. Therefore, the mixing time in most recipes must be adjusted to avoid overbeating." If you have gotten used to the long waiting time it takes for other mixers to turn transparent egg white into white puff, watch out, these machines are quick.
The Kitchen Aid electric mixer and Cuisinart food processor may have outnumbered sales of other kitchen appliances for many years, but today, two new products are predicted to beat the sales of these powerful biggies. They're the new Kitchen Aid Ultra Power Series Mixer ($289.95) and the Cuisinart Mini-Mate Chopper/Grinder ($40).

Keelhauling (Dutch kielhalen[1]; "to drag along the keel"; German Kielholen; Danish kølhaling ) is a form of corporal punishment meted out to sailors at sea. The sailor was tied to a rope that looped beneath the vessel, thrown overboard on one side of the ship, and dragged under the ship's keel to the other side. As the hull was often covered in barnacles and other marine growth, this could result in cuts and other injuries. This generally happened if the offender was pulled quickly. If pulled slowly, his weight might lower him sufficiently to miss the barnacles but might result in his drowning.
Keelhauling was legally permitted as a punishment in the Dutch Navy. The earliest official mention of keelhauling is a Dutch ordinance of 1560, and the practice was not formally abolished until 1853. While not an official punishment, it was reportedly used by some British Royal Navy and merchant marine captains, and has become strongly associated with pirate lore.
Today keelhauling can refer to the spinnaker sheets getting stuck under the hull after dowsing the sail. This occurs especially in dinghy sailboats such as Laser 2 because nothing prevents the sheet from being pulled under the bow.

Five Steps For Organizing Your Closet Space Part 2
Sort and Dispose
With a now-clean closet and piles of belongings spread out as far as the eye can see, you can really go to work.
Examine every item you've removed. If it's an item of clothing, check if it's still wearable. If there are no tears or ragged seams, try it on. Clothing you love and wear often, even if only seasonally, deserves premium treatment. Clothing that no longer fits should be discarded unless you can answer yes to one of the following:
Do you think you'll ever lose (or gain) the weight necessary to have the garment fit well again?
Is the garment worth altering to make it fit, and can it be altered successfully?
If you uncover an item you'd long forgotten, ask yourself if you would use or wear it again if you could find it easily. If you haven't so much as looked at the item in question for the past three years, you should probably discard it. Place it in one of your boxes or cloth bags; anything to separate it from the essentials you'll be putting back in your closet.
Is there a family member, friend or close relative who might have use for a serviceable item you're loath to part with? Is there a church, local charity or regional Goodwill or Salvation Army office set up to retrieve wearable used clothing or household goods? Consult your local Yellow Pages to find out.
Be bold. Be brutal. Don't take up precious closet space with anything you know you won't wear or use often in the future.
Make Every Inch Count
With your closet still stripped bare, it's time to inventory the contents and rethink the space.
How many suits, dresses, blouses, slacks, etc. do you need to store? A reliable rule of thumb is that one foot of rack space will hold six suits or eight dresses, leaving enough room for visibility and access.
List your inventory and sketch out on plain paper or graph paper how you'd like it arranged. Keep in mind that what's used regularly should be handy. If you're tall, you don't want to bend every time you reach for an often-used item, and if you're short, you don't want to have to mount a step-stool. Frequently needed items should be kept at eye level.
If your closet is tall, there may be room for additional upper shelves where seasonal items such as blankets, boots, heavy sweaters can be stored. Could you install a double row of clothing rods; one low and one high? Slacks and long coats will need full-height vertical space, but you could double up on suits, jackets, shirts and blouses or anything less than 42 inches-long.
Search catalogs, the Internet and retail stores that specialize in storage-organizing tools. Look for:
- Shoe bags and belt and blouse hooks you can hang on the back of the closet door or suspend from a clothing rod
- Lightweight, flexible drawer units that slide onto shelves or under hanging clothes
- Suspended storage you can hang on clothing rods to store shoes, handbags or sweaters
- Multiple shirt, blouse, belt and slacks hangers that store a lot in a little space
- Dividers that let you stack sweaters or freshly laundered shirts on open shelving

Teachers' leaders have called for fracking to be banned on the grounds it could pose a health threat to pupils at Fylde schools.
The Fylde branch of the National Union of Teachers (NUT) voted unanimously at its annual general meeting in favour of a motion that fracking should not proceed.
Members raised concerns following a study carried out in New York State in the US.
The December 2014 New York State's Public Health Review concluded "until the science provides sufficient information to determine the level of risk to public health from HVHF (high volume hydraulic fracking) to all New Yorkers and whether the risks can be adequately managed, DOH (Department of Health) recommends that HVHF should not proceed in New York State."
The study recommended further investigation was needed into a number of health-related issues.
All 12 members of the Fylde NUT branch voted in favour of the motion.
Steve Nolan, the Fylde NUT Secretary said: "The US has been fracking for a while now and the health concerns are growing there.
"Lots of schools will be relatively close to fracking sites. The health of school communities is at risk.
"If they don't think it safe on health grounds to proceed with fracking in New York State, then it certainly should not happen here either."
Ken Cridland, Fylde assistant secretary said: "We cannot take risks with the health of school communities near fracking sites or in a 10 mile radius, or indeed with anyone's health."
However, a spokesman for Cuadrilla said: "We are very confident that our proposed exploration activities will not adversely impact people's health and that schools and other communities are not at risk.
"At a national level, a Public Health England report concluded that the risks to public health from exposure to emissions from shale gas extraction are low.
"Regarding the New York study, which it appears Fylde NUT has based its decision on, the majority of that literature has been either discredited or shown to have exceedingly faulty methodologies, and none of the negative conclusions are applicable to our proposals for exploration for exploration in the Fylde. "
The motion will now go before the Lancashire NUT executive when it meets at County Hall in Preston on Monday.
It has also won the support of the Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre Trades Union Council.
Mr Cridland added: "They felt the health concerns trumped any jobs issues, and they are going to write to all the candidates standing in local seats in the General Election asking for their support for the motion."
Among the concerns of the Fylde branch of the NUT are the impact of fracking on the respiratory health of pupils, drinking water contamination and the effect of potentially increased road traffic.

"Do You Like Nicolas Cage?"
Question 94
Do you like Nicolas Cage?
At 10:35 AM 1998.08.31
My husband is starting to go bald a bit, so I suggested that he follow the example of the bald but cool Nicolas Cage. However, my husband really hates that he's balding, so he won't listen to me. According to him, "The dude IS bald!!" So all of our arguments end on an unpleasant note.
But I digress. What I mean to ask is, is there anybody out there that thinks Nicolas Cage is cool? I decided to try asking around.
If you're not busy, please tell me what you think. Also, does your wife like Nicolas Cage? I'd be so happy if you took the time to answer. (29 years old, Gemini, Blood Type A)
Hello. It seems my wife does not like Nicolas Cage. When I asked what about him, it seems that she doesn't like:
1) the way he talks
2) the shape of his nose
3) the look in his eyes (when he's looking down).
She's a rather prejudiced person. But when I asked her what she thinks about baldness, she said, "That sort of thing doesn't really matter." Please tell that to your husband.
I personally neither like nor dislike Mr. Cage. He was good as the one-handed baker in Moonstruck, but I guess it must be sweltering, since he only wears tank-tops and is always sweaty.

Daryl Hannah arrested outside White House by park police for refusing to move off sidewalk. The sit-in protested a planned pipeline expansion, Keystone XL, an oil pipeline from Canada to Texas.
The Keystone Pipeline System is a pipeline system [KEYSTONE PIPELINE MAP] to transport synthetic crude oil from the Athabasca Oil Sands in northeastern Alberta, Canada to refineries in Illinois and Oklahoma, and further to the U.S. Gulf Coast. The pipeline consists of the operational "Keystone Pipeline" and proposed Keystone XL (Keystone Expansion) pipeline. Keystone XL has faced lawsuits from oil refineries, criticism from environmentalists and some members of the United States Congress. The U.S. Department of State in 2010 extended the deadline for federal agencies to decide if the pipeline is in the national interest.
Environmental groups, concerned citizens, and politicians have raised a number of concerns about the potential impacts of the Keystone XL extension. One concern is that the pipeline could pollute air and water supplies and harm migratory birds and other wildlife. It will cross the Sandhills in Nebraska, the large wetland ecosystem, and the Ogallala Aquifer, one of the largest reserves of fresh water in the world.
Daryl Hannah was previously arrested with 31 people on June 23, 2009, in a protest against mountaintop removal in southern West Virginia, part of a wider campaign to stop the practice in the region. The protesters, who also included NASA climate scientist James E. Hansen, were charged with obstructing officers and impeding traffic after they sat in the middle of West Virginia State Route 3 outside Massey Energy's Goals Coal preparation plant on Tuesday, the The Charleston Gazette reported.
On June 13, 2006, Hannah was arrested, along with actor, Taran Noah Smith, for her stance with over 350 farmers, their families and supporters, confronting authorities attempting to bulldoze the nation's largest urban farm in South Central Los Angeles. Hannah chained herself to a walnut tree at the South Central Farm for three weeks to protest the farmers' eviction by the property's new owner, Ralph Horowitz. The South Central Farm had been established in the wake of the 1992 LA riots to allow people in the city to grow food for themselves. However, the land's new owner, who had paid $5 million for it, sought to evict the farmers to build a warehouse. He had asked for $16 million to sell it but turned down the offer when the activists raised that amount. As of September 2008, Horowitz and Forever 21 were working on a proposal for a warehouse and distribution center on the now-bulldozed site. As of June 2011 the land remained an empty lot.

Have you ever read a description of your astrology sign and you suddenly understand what you had actually known about yourself all along? For me I've found that, I need to die in order to be reborn — not in the literal sense –- but metaphorically speaking. Let me explain.
I often find that I'm an all or nothing person in life. I'm either in it for the long haul or I'm out. When I decide that I'm out, I'm really ready to take the plunge and I'll risk losing a lot to start over again. In the never-before-seen guide Your Body and the Stars (Atria Books, May 10, 2016) by Stephanie Marango, MD RYT and astrologer Rebecca Gordon it is indeed Scorpio who needs eternal catharsis and regeneration. It is "a burning of skin that sheds layers of skin, time and time again." I couldn't agree more.
Although I skipped ahead to my own sun sign when I first opened this book, Your Body and the Stars is actually meant to be read across the signs because each sign manifests in us. Working through the 12 zodiac signs, each chapter covers the body region associated with that sign. So even though I might be a Scorpio sun sign connected to the sacrum (lower spine) I might also be experiencing neck pain during the month of April, ruled by Taurus. If you're a watery Pisces, the body part associated with that sign is the feet, Capricorn is the knees, Aquarius is the ankles, and so on and so forth.
Depending on what sign is manifesting itself through you, there are specific exercises, meditations and cleansing rituals to target and strengthen those areas. Many of them are based in yoga, which is practiced by both of the authors. You don't want to miss out on this unique and informative read that is sure to heal any ailments you may be experiencing, plus learn a little more about yourself in the process.
Want to know more? If you missed both Marango's and Gordon's live chat, you can watch them below!

Marlon Wayans has the last laugh
Ashlie Wells

To thine own self be true. We've heard the famous quote but how many of us actually live it?
Actor, comedian, producer, writer and film director Marlon Wayans speaks on making this sentiment a reality in his Scandal-less tour, which is stopping in Detroit tonight. Thanks to his fearless brand of humor, fans should brace themselves for the "unexpected," says Wayans.
caught up with the multi-faceted performer whose films have grossed more than $736-million, to discuss his current tour, latest projects, branching out from his brothers and his key to longevity.
"The tour has been going great, folks have been laughing and truly enjoying themselves. For me, that's all I want…to see people laugh until they cry. Over time, people just know that when it comes to getting a laugh, Marlon is going to do what he's gotta' do," says Wayans.
"You have to live and die by what you feel, your instincts, your point of view and you have to be you."

On tour and in all that he does, he says he never holds back and from the looks of his success, it's working. "My last name is Wayans but I identify myself as Marlon because I have my own personality, my own flavor, I take my own risks, build my own boundaries and build my own brand. I'm crazy *laughs* and I just enjoy doing what I do."
Not that keeping busy touring isn't enough, Wayans recently filmed a pilot for NBC. The new comedy is loosely based on his life. "I'm a different type of TV dad. It's kinda' based on how I raise my children and the crazy advice I give them. If someone made Richard Pryor (into) Bill Cosby, that's the character,'' says Wayans.
Although we've seen him on television many times before, the anticipation will be high as fans haven't seen Wayans in a sitcom since The Wayans Brothers. He very, very jokingly gives the ending to the show that never received a final episode. "Marlon gets shot…I mean, I would love to have a final episode. I would love to do it. It's not going to happen but…you know, they don't give endings to black shows, they just end."

Living your true self can be difficult especially if you've become accustomed to having a team especially when that team is family, but he thinks branching away from his brothers has been rewarding.
"I love my brothers and I miss them but I really love what I'm doing. I love that I'm doing stand-up and my own projects. I'm still a part of the Wayans' legacy but I'm really excited about building the legend of Marlon. I carry them with me and all the lessons I've learned, but I've also learned a lot by doing me and it's a wonderful feeling." Being true to yourself isn't the magic recipe for success, he says. "I think my longevity comes from hard work. My dad instilled that work ethic into me and my brothers. I think it's always about the work and I think that's the most important thing that you have to do. You have to work. The more you work the better you get and the more prepared you are for those success moments. Success comes and it goes away so you work hard and get your moment again." Wayans says he'll continue filling in the gap of slap-stick, no-holds barred comedy that's missing from the industry, which he calls "classic comedy."
"I'm a throwback, that's the type of humor I have and will always have."
No compromises, no apologies, just his authentic self.
Follow @marlonwayans on Twitter and catch him tonight at The Fillmore Detroit, 2115 Woodward Ave. Tickets are $39.50 (doors open at 7pm). Call 313-961-5451 or visit thefillmoredetroit.com

Clare McBeath is co-principal of Northern Baptist College and was one of the women who took part in a Churches Together in Britain and Ireland women's delegation to visit Greece in May 2016. She delivered this reflection as part of CTBI's AGM, which was held last week in Luther King House in Manchester.
A year ago, we took a risk. We took a risk in suspending the regular teaching programme at Luther King House (Manchester) for a week. Instead we gathered the whole community together to reflect theologically on a theme, a theme that we are still hearing almost daily on our radios and TVs, that of migration.
But we didn't want to just reflect on the stories of migrants out there, in Calais, Greece or Turkey. We recognized that a large proportion of our students are themselves migrants with stories to share and from whom we could learn. So we began by giving everyone their travel permit and lining everyone up according to how far we had travelled on holiday or for work. We learned that many of us travel almost without thinking about it and I for one, take for granted that I can go anywhere in the world.
We listened to each other's stories: stories from Rwanda, The Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Eritrea. We heard stories of horror and violence, of extreme poverty and rejection, but we also heard stories of hope, of hospitality, welcome and celebration. Together we learned some of the statistics behind the news headlines and challenged ourselves to unmask the negative language of the media.
Together we learned stories of migration going back to the very origins of humanity in Africa, migrations within Europe, colonialism and the transatlantic slave trade, the Second World War and economic migration post World War II.
In other words we learned that migration is normal and often has a religious dimension. We looked too at the Bible and its diverse voices and stories of migration which we can often see played out in current debates.
So where did all of this leave us theologically?
It left us exploring issues of identity and celebrating diversity. It left us questioning boundaries and challenging the media stories that we are fed. It left us with a deep sense of needing to confess that many of us have benefitted from being citizens of a colonial power and wanting to seek reconciliation. It helped us to see that the church is migrating as well as hosting. That God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit offer hospitality but are also the migrant on the move.
In short, it helped us get beyond the 'them and us'. To move to a place where we are all in some sense leaving home to embark on a journey. To offer hospitality, to call for jubilee and mutual interdependence, to embrace change and movement with a child-like playfulness. In short, to recognise that we need a new vision where all are migrants in solidarity with one another.
So why is this a call to action? How do we embody a vision of a church for the poor? Because these distinctions of them and us, rich and poor, host and migrant, the western world and the global south are breaking down and we are called to cross these boundaries.
We are called by the God who had nowhere to call home to let go security and embrace a radical openness to each other.
We are called by the crucified God to let go of power and embrace vulnerability.
We are called by the resurrected God to let go of fear and live out a radical love, a new community, God's kingdom here on earth.
And it starts with us, each one of us.
