Drying Painted Shelves
A better way to paint and let shelves dry.
My method of drying shelves is to insert a long drywall screw in the end of each board, about 11/2 in. from the edge. I rest the screws on two parallel sawhorses, allowing the board to hang in a vertical position. To paint a board's side and edge, I rest it on a clamp attached to one sawhorse as shown in the drawing below. Then I flip the board 180° to paint the other side. After I finish each board, I move it back to hanging vertically. Using this trick, I can get a lot done in a small space.

A new kitchen designed by Mal Corboy replaced this. Always in the kitchen at parties that's where you'll find everyone these days, with good reason. The modern kitchen is the hub for both entertaining and family life.The existing kitchen in this home, however, was rather bashful. Built in a U shape, it was tucked away in the corner of a large living space, with the cook somewhat isolated. In fact, with the cooktop on the rear wall, the hosts had to turn their backs to guests when cooking.Designer Mal Corboy was commissioned to create a more social kitchen a contemporary design with plenty of the wow factor."The original kitchen did not really do the house justice," the designer says. "Not only did the space require a larger kitchen it also needed a lot more drama." Striped zebrino marble features on the long island and benchtops in this new kitchen designed by Mal Corboy. The marble, which was coated to provide a nonporous surface, is teamed with pearl-blasted oak veneer. Corboy says the design of the new kitchen was inspired by a beautiful and unusual zebrino marble he had found, which became the piéce de resistance."I had put the stone on hold, waiting for an opportunity to use it. It has a great texture and the stripes give it a strong linear look. For this project, I teamed it with a pearl-blasted oak veneer. This treatment removes the soft grain of the timber, allowing the harder, more prominent grain to feature. It's a very textural surface that is in keeping with current design trends the highly lacquered glossy look is giving way to more textured finishes."Corboy wrapped the cabinetry down one long wall and around a corner to create a partially hidden scullery area. A marble-clad island with a large work surface incorporates a breakfast table at one end. The oak of the table appears to slice through the marble on the island unifying the two elements."We positioned the cooktop on the island so the owners can socialise while preparing meals. With the sink on the perimeter benchtop, there is ample room for more than one person to work in the kitchen at the same time." A bank of four black Smeg ovens is positioned at the end of this new kitchen. Designer Mal Corboy says he avoided using stainless steel in the kitchen even the sink and taps are black, and the handle on the beverage centre. A custom-designed rangehood with a Smeg powerpack is wrapped in backpainted glass in a copper metallic shade this also appears on the splashbacks."The position of the hood makes a feature of a change in ceiling height," says Corboy. "And the copper metallic finish helps to reflect light in the room. This is especially useful in the corner of the kitchen, which is on the darker, south side of the house. The metallic paint on the splashback, and LED lighting under each shelf, ensure this area is bright and cheerful. We also ran the backpainted glass along the toekicks and added LED lighting to these as well."Unlike many modern kitchens, there is no stainless steel on show. The sink and the taps are black, as is an industrial-style pendant. The designer also specified black appliances there are four black Smeg ovens at the end of the kitchen. And the recessed pulls for the drawers are in black. Other appliances are fully integrated to maintain visual continuity.

Acts of kindness in the snowstorm
Thurday's snowstorm crippled the evening commute and caused chaos on the roads.
Cars were stuck, and people were stranded. Some abandoned their cars and walked.
But a few people put others first.
YONKERS: Firefighters deliver baby in snowstorm
They call him "Superman"
Eli Binshtok, who was off from his job as a nurse in White Plains Hospital, came across several accidents on Willow Tree Road in Ramapo.
"He had to help everyone he saw that needed help," his wife Melissa said.
She said he pulled over to help multiple cars that were stuck by pushing them up a small hill or driving the owners' cars.
"He helped everyone, and families called him 'Superman,'" Melissa said. "He sure is Superman."
Tickets for nine, please
In a long acting tradition, performers at Westchester Broadway Theater decided "the show must go on," as a surprisingly virulent snow storm left thousands stranded.
During storm, the full cast of "Phantom of The Opera" choose not to flee the flakes, instead performing the entire show for the nine people stranded in the Elmsford theater.
The enthusiastic audience, stood and cheered for the actors, grateful for a meal and a terrific show, said Bob Funking, one of the theater's owners who was at the show. "It just proves that live theater is alive and well."
"Inspiring" moment during nightmare drive
A car was stuck in the snow on Benedict Avenue in Tarrytown Thursday night before a few men got out of their cars to push it.
"While white and serene, the first snow was a complete nightmare for drivers until there was this beautiful, inspiring moment of community members spontaneously volunteering to help each other during the heavy snowfall," said Tony Fasciano, of Volunteer New York!
While they were pushing the car, Fasciano said another woman in a nearby home came out with shovels.
"I mean what an amazing community we live in where the spirit of volunteerism is alive and well," Fasciano said. "I felt lucky to witness this moment of spontaneous volunteerism and random act of kindness, it gave increased meaning to what I do 24-7-365 to support Volunteer New York! as well as make my 3 hour nightmare commute seem as if I was lucky to be part of something so many in our community were all experiencing a the exact same time."

How to prevent makeup in monsoon...
Monsoon makes our skin patchy and the makeup starts dripping due to humidity. So, we have to suffer lots of problems whilst wearing makeup out in the rainy season to look their best.
Moisturise everyday- Do not misunderstood due to monsoon comes with humidity it doesn't mean, we don't need moisturizer. The basic attention given to skin is what helps one look the best with or without makeup. One can opt for an oil-free moisturizer as well as an oil-free, non-comedogenic foundation to match the skin. Though it is always advisable to seek expert opinion on the formulations to be used as per individual skin type and skin concerns.
Never skip sunscreen-instead of keeping the skin hydrated, it is very important to keep the skin protected from harmful UV rays as well. Never forget to wear sunscreen underneath the makeup. It has been advised to reapply sunscreen every few hours if one has to stay outdoors for long. In this case compact with SPF can be used to do touch up when out for longer durations.
Primer must apply after moisturizer:Primer should be applied after moisturizer to make the smooth surface for makeup. It can make a great difference in the overall look. Whilst choosing a primer please ensure that it is not heavy on the skin and helps makeup stay for a long duration
Lesser makeup is good-Do not apply thick layers of makeup to avoid caking and creasing. Wearing less makeup will not be heavy on the skin. So, it prevents the clogging of pores and minimizes the chances of breakouts.
Heavy makeup will naturally melt out if it is too humid outside. So, the best practice is to avoid wearing too much of it in the first place. One can seek help from experts when it comes to choosing the right formulations as per individual skin types. In case one has any specific skin concerns like acne pigmentation, or anti-aging then the Dermatologist can even help to look out for some specific ingredients that will be beneficial in treating these concerns.

I wrote before about scoring video games and talked about how I didn't think it was a good idea... then I went to review games, which I never intended to do, and give them a grade.
Naturally, the grades I give them are meaningless because who the fuck am I but also they are for the people too lazy to read thoughts. They also are a lazy way for me to write an ending paragraph so laziness all around! Although I do try to give games a grade that I think is fair sofaras one could fairly assign a letter grade to a game.
It takes me back to a conversation I had my freshman year of high school with one of my art teachers. He was talking about how art classes used to be pass-or-fail, then they asked for a letter and now they wanted a score out of 100. He admitted that he had no idea how to even grade most assignments so absoloutely out of 100. He reasoned that the letter grades could at least give an idea of how well a "problem"-- in his words-- was approached and executed.
The idea that he was not giving assignments but problems or prompts to be addressed creatively was interesting and something that stuck with me. I think that if you're going to start grading things which are highly subjective the only way you can grade them is on how they approach their goal and how they execute their goal.
I take this with me into games thinking about what the game is trying to do. Sometimes a game just wants to be fun and that is A-OK but the game should feel like it just wants to be fun. Sometimes games want to tell a story or make a point about Karl Marx's hairstyle. All are perfectly valid in the realm of subjective expression. About half of it is a game comunicating what it is trying to do.
The other half, then is the execution. This is where controls, graphics, audio and usually what people score a game on comes into play. No one will know your deep thoughts on historic figure's fashion sense if the controls are crap or no one can tell what the graphics are.
The third half-- yes there's three halves-- is also very subjective about if I personally like a game. In subjective media there are no absoloutes and trying to pretend there are is a gross misunderstanding of creative media as a whole. You can say on a technical level that a novelist spelt every word correctly but that hardly makes their novel good. While, yes, flagrant mithspellings [sic] would be an issue the fact that the letters are not only correctly selected but also arranged in the order in which it is customary is not really meaningful. Likewise it is possible for a game to have technically impressive graphics but little else. "My this code runs splendidly!" you could shout but that wouldn't make the game fun to play.
Another apt comparison would be the textbook to the novel as the word processor is to the game. For an information book or utility software the use is the focus and indeed it would be judged differently. For a novel or a game there's more of an experience than just reading arrangements of letters or pressing the same keys and clicking the same mouse you would to format an office newsletter. For that reason you can't boil a game down easily to a few specs.
Once again I am at a loss for a real conclusion... this ended up being more of a blog post, I guess. Oh well.

OU football: Alex Grinch still using videos to motivate defense during struggles
NORMAN — A year ago, OU defensive coordinator Alex Grinch showed his players a tape of the New England Patriots' historic comeback against the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI.
Later that week, the Sooners rallied from a 25-point deficit to beat Baylor.
It was a tremendous coincidence, not a prophetic look into the future by Grinch. But perhaps after two straight losses that featured fourth-quarter struggles, it's time for another video lesson.
So, what video is Grinch pulling out for the Sooners defense heading into Saturday's game against rival No. 22-ranked Texas?

"I'd be embarrassed to kinda mention some of what the topics have been over the last two weeks," Grinch said. "But we haven't gotten the outcome in spite of that, so I'll keep that to myself.
"It's videos. But it's not sinking in. It's something that we continue to do. You keep swinging the bat. Sometimes you land the message, sometimes you don't, right?"
For whatever reason, Grinch doesn't feel his tactics have sunk in for the players.
But he believes they will and the Sooners can fix their tackling woes.
"I don't take credit when the message gets landed," Grinch said. "It's the kids that ultimately get it done and it's my fault when I can't land the message.
"Again, I'm fairly embarrassed to say what we've done over the last few weeks when you ultimately see the results, because it's obviously not hitting home."

Reader Tip: line handler
Ever feel like the cockpit is a spaghetti bowl of lines? Want a really simple solution — and one that can be removed on a moment's notice with no damage to the boat?
Enter 3M Command Cord Bundlers. This tip came from Tami, who has sent me several other great ideas to The Boat Galley in the past.
The Cord Bundlers are designed for hanging extension cords, but they work well for sheets, halyards and other lines in the cockpit (or elsewhere). And unlike hooks, they won't hurt if you fall against one!
Tami reports that it's easy both to hang lines and to quickly release them when it's time to get underway. I love how nice and tidy they look — and being able to hang lines where you want them instead of where there is a winch would have a lot of advantages (I was always moving loops of line so that I could sit without a loop of line behind my back).
All you need is a smooth fiberglass or painted surface to mount the cord bundler on. These are the same Command Strips that are often used for holding pictures and other things below, and can be easily removed without leaving a mark. But be sure to read the package for instructions on how to remove them — it's very easy, but there is a special technique (pulling the tab straight down) to remove the bundler.
The one thing to note is that if paint or varnish is not in good condition — that is, if it's starting to peel or lift up, Command Strips can pull the paint or varnish off when you remove them.
For more tips on how to get the most out of your galley, visit The Boat Galley.

When it comes to entertainment, the blog is where you're going to thrive. No matter how boring your niche might be (no offense), having a blog is a great way to educate while still having a sense of humor or a few cool images. If you really love what you do, you know that there are very interesting aspects to your business. The blog is the place to show your voice and educate your customers on the things that you love about your subject matter.
However, what some companies are still misunderstanding is that a blog isn't just a great way to educate your audience and it isn't just a great way to entertain your audience—it's important for SEO reasons. If you want your website to appear at the top of a Google search engine results page (SERP), you're going to need SEO. Let a blog help you.
Top Reasons Having a Blog Will Help Your SEO (Without Losing the "Fun" Factor)
Having a blog should be first about your audience and second about search engines. Once you have a good writer in place (whether that be you or someone you hire), you can begin practicing writing things that your audience enjoys. The next step is optimizing that piece of content for search engine bots so that it gets the visibility it deserves. You can learn more about how to optimize a piece of content here.
The question now, however, is the "why." Why is having a blog going to help SEO? Can't you just optimize the other pages that you have? Yes, you can, but a blog makes it easy for a few different reasons:
- Easier Backlinks – People are going to be more likely to reference a blog post and link back to your site than if you only had content explaining subjects specific to your company. Blog posts are versatile and can be more general, so backlinks come easier (and are incredibly important for SEO).
- Easier Internal Links – Internal links alert Google bots that your site is easier to navigate. It doesn't always make sense to use internal links on conversion pages or on a page detailing a specific product, but it makes a lot of sense when writing something general in your blog.
- Easier Keyword Usage – A blog allows you to really research keywords, see where there is a high search volume and not much competition, and then go for it. Because you can update a blog whenever you want, you can use these keywords to guide your next blog topic. This means that each time you publish a blog post, it can be something that searchers are looking for at that particular point in time.
- Be Relevant – This is a little bit of an overlap to the last point. You can make blog posts as relevant to your audience as possible. Not only can you use keyword information, but you can ask your audience and see what others in the industry are discussing.
In the end, managing a blog is going to be worth your time. It might seem daunting at first, but once you get a rhythm going and have guest contributors wanting to help our your site, you'll find that managing a blog is actually fun. A blog will help draw people into your site and hopefully have them clicking around for more information.

This one climbs things. More than I'd like her to. Chairs, tables, ladders. The ladder was a new one-Sean had a ladder out and when he went to the garage and came back she was four steps up on it. I was in the bathroom with Charlie when it happened because well...
I'm potty training her. I started yesterday. I decided to start yesterday like...yesterday. Just kinda went for it. So far it's going pretty well. A few accidents, a few tears (mine,) and lots of Skittles. She is a sucker for Skittles.
My bible study started today which means I am in my happy place.
Oh and Charlie loves school. I mean LOVES school. She is made for it. I worry more about Ty and Joy going to school than her for sure. She thinks it's a big party. With snacks and naps.
I'm so tired. You know, from all the training. It's a beast those first few days. Oh who am I kidding. It's a beast for a long time. Who decided on this week?
Oh yeah.
I did.
I'm going to bed. G' night y'all.

Your guide to the latest Hill developments, news narratives, and media headlines provided by the Hogan Lovells Government Relations and Public Affairs team.
In Washington:
- The House unanimously passed a bill to revive the $670 billion small business aid program hours after it shut down on Wednesday, extending the Paycheck Protections Program (PP) until Aug. 8. The Senate had passed the legislation Tuesday night. The program — which still has $130 billion in funding available has been a key pillar of the coronavirus recovery effort.
- Six of the nation's largest medical equipment distribution companies are raising "troubling concerns" about the Trump administration's coordination of critical supplies to COVID-19 hot spots, according to a memo outlining a key House committee's discussions with the companies. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) who chairs the House Oversight Committee, submitted the memo Thursday to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus ahead of its hearing on the administration's efforts to procure, stockpile and distribute critical supplies during the pandemic. In the memo, Maloney wrote that as the pandemic flares anew in several states, the companies are cautioning that the supply of personal protective equipment for medical staff is not meeting demand and that prices for raw materials have increased "dramatically. "Despite months of effort, there are still severe shortages of PPE and critical medical equipment, and the Trump administration has no coherent strategy to address these deficiencies," Maloney wrote.
- President Trump on Wednesday said he supports another round of direct payments to Americans – and says he wants to give out more money than Democrats have already proposed. "I do, I support it, but it has to be done properly," Trump said when asked during a Fox Business Network interview whether he was in favor of sending another round of stimulus checks. But it's unclear at this point what form another round of relief will look like, as Capitol Hill remains locked in debate over what should be included in the next stimulus package.
- Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said Thursday the White House has no regrets about pushing states to end their lockdown measures, despite spikes in coronavirus cases in several of the first states to reopen. Asked at a Thursday press appearance whether the White House had any regrets about encouraging speedy reopenings, Mnuchin replied, "No, absolutely not. I think we've had a very careful plan working with the states — this is primarily the states' responsibility — but working with the states."
- New foreign investment in the U.S. plunged in 2019, according to a Commerce Department report released "Spending by foreign investors 'to acquire, establish, or expand U.S. businesses' totaled $194.7 billion in 2019, the Commerce Department said in a preliminary estimate. That was down 37.7 percent from $312.5 billion in 2018 and below the annual average of $333 billion for 2014–2018.
In the News:
- Nonfarm payrolls soared by 4.8 million in June and the unemployment rate fell to 11.1 percent as the U.S. continued its reopening from the coronavirus pandemic, the Labor Department said Thursday. Economists had been expecting a 2.9 million increase and a jobless rate of 12.4 percent. The report was released a day earlier than usual due to the July Fourth holiday. Meanwhile, another 1.4 million workers filed for unemployment insurance the last week.
- The U.S. set another record for new coronavirus cases just days before the July Fourth weekend — with at least 23 states pausing reopening plans to combat mounting infections. There were 50,203 new coronavirus cases reported nationwide Wednesday, a single-day record. At least five states — Arizona, California, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas — reported a record number of new cases Wednesday
- The worst of the U.S. coronavirus outbreak will end by January either with a vaccine or because enough people in the country will have already been infected and have some immunity to it, former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb told CNBC
- Five airlines have struck agreements with the Treasury Department for portions of $25 billion in federal loans aimed at softening the blow of the coronavirus pandemic on their businesses. American Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, SkyWest Airlines, Spirit Airlines and Frontier Airlines have signed letters of intent for the loan terms, the Treasury Department said Thursday.
- Apple will close 30 additional stores in the U.S. by Thursday, the company said, bringing the total number of reclosures in the United States to 77 as COVID-19 cases rapidly rise in several regions around the country.
- McDonald's is pausing the reopening of dine-in service in the U.S. as coronavirus cases continue to spread across states. The company said Wednesday that it would wait three weeks before any new U.S. restaurants add dine-in service to its drive-through, takeout and delivery operations.
- Uber is extending its mask requirement indefinitely throughout the U.S. and Canada as coronavirus cases continue to rise across several states. The company previously said that both drivers and riders are required to wear masks during trips through June. On Wednesday, the company said it's extending that rule.

Visit our accident injury chiropractor and physiotherapist centre in Toronto. Although we try our best to prevent them, accidents and injuries occur. Pain and difficulty in mobility can result not to mention the inability to work.
Doctors can prescribe medications for pain, and mend broken bones, but lasting discomfort can still be an issue as the root of the problem has not been fully addressed. Our Chiropractic and Physiotherapy accident injury clinic can offer relief in many of these circumstances.
Get Relief From Pain. We're Here to Help!
Call us today on (416) 479 – 8311
Table of Contents
How Does a Chiropractor Help With Injury?
What many people don't know, is that a chiropractor is much more than a "massage therapist" or a "back adjuster". Chiropractors can treat numerous types of maladies and conditions in addition to workplace accidents and injuries. These things include, but are not limited to allergies, asthma, fibromyalgia, sight, taste and hearing, not to mention pains from stress or trauma. This is because they are able to realign the nervous system structure in the body.
The body's nervous system is like the "wiring" which monitors and controls the body structure. This system interconnects the different parts of the body together in a complex "web" of nerves. It has been proven that you can affect one part of the body by stimulating nerves in a completely different part. This is one part of the basics of chiropractic treatment.
Another essential component to treatment is the positioning of bones and joints. Bones can be easily jarred out of place, and joints misaligned. Many instances of such may not even be physically apparent, yet cause pain and discomfort in the area.
Thanks to the nervous system, a bone which is out of place may even be stimulating or "pinching" a nerve, thus causing an unwanted condition. A chiropractor knows what to look for in these circumstances, and can very often, help the patient with this by an adjustment of the offending area.
Extended Health Care Benefits for Chiropractors, Physiotherapists and RMT
In Ontario, chiropractors are covered in insurance policies under extended care benefits.
One of the other benefits is that chiropractors do not usually use medication. Medications can leave residuals in your body, which can cause side effects in the long run. These substances build up in the fatty tissue of the body over time, and can cause problems later in life. Medication can also be costly, and this could be circumvented in chiropractic treatment.
Benefits Accident and Injury Rehabilitation Clinic
Many work injuries include falls, blunt trauma, repetitive stress and others. Chiropractors and Physiotherapists can address the source of the problem in many of these cases to provide relief to their patients, and get them back to work sooner.
If you have been injured at work, you need to explore all your options for recovery. Chiropractic Care is a proven science that works for workplace accidents and injuries.
Consult with a licensed chiropractor to see if chiropractic treatment is right for your condition.

Manufactured homes — one option to ease the housing crisis
It's no secret that California is a very expensive place to live. California homes are being sold at two-and-half times the national average and rents are twice as much.
Perhaps, there is no greater example that the dream of home ownership is dead than a taxpayer-financed housing project in San Jose.
When the median home value in California is $600,860, living in a manufactured home is far more affordable, even with rent.
Several weeks ago, the San Jose City Council rezoned property to house residents in modified shipping containers, priced at a whopping $600,000 per unit.
Before considering unconventional forms of housing like shipping containers, our state's political leaders should consider the benefits and affordability of manufactured homes. Manufactured home owners enjoy the same lifestyle as traditional stick-built homes, but for hundreds of thousands of dollars less.
According to the California Manufactured Housing Institute, the installation of a brand new two to three bedroom (1,700 sq. ft.) manufactured home costs approximately $142,000, and used homes are even less. According to Homes Direct, a new one-bedroom home that is three times larger than a shipping container sells for approximately $53,000.
When the median home value in California is $600,860, living in a manufactured home is far more affordable, even with rent.
If a manufactured home is located in a mobile home park, rents (like HOA fees) are assessed on the land and in most cases are reasonable, especially when they fund essential park services, such as maintenance, roads, sewer, water, landscaping and recreational amenities. The economic benefits and financial security are even greater when park owners and residents voluntarily agree to sign long-term lease agreements, which is common.
In 2018, Gov. Jerry Brown's Department of Housing and Community Development developed a report entitled "California's Housing Future; Challenges and Opportunities," following a statewide listening tour soliciting public input on how to solve California's housing crisis.
Among its recommendations was expanding financing options and reducing barriers for alternative housing models with lower production costs, such as manufactured housing. Unfortunately, the state Legislature has not acted on this recommendation, nor have cities and counties.
So, when the production of manufactured homes is experiencing a new high in the U.S since 2008, newly elected Gov. Gavin Newsom and local government must recognize the need and demonstrate the will to expand and build new manufactured housing communities, the last remaining bastions of quality, unsubsidized housing that is still affordable.
Until then, living in shipping containers may become more common, undermining the California Dream.
Ed's Note: Sheila Dey is executive director of the Western Manufactured Housing Communities Association.

Well seeing as I always write about some sort of medical related post, "Doctor, Doctor" by UFO only seems fitting. I just couldn't go with the popular U2. I was force downloaded Songs of Innocence to my iPod which later was transferred to my iPhone. Now when I walk, I have to skip through the morass of U2 to get to my jam. No offense to any U2 lovers.
Me? I only know a handful of U2's songs. Same for UFO but I went the lesser known way. Plus I kind of like the Michael Schenker story. "Scorpions" is the S group I would have used had it not been for "Snow Patrol". Michael was part of "Scorpions" before branching out. And that accent. I sometimes replay Klaus Meine screaming "We LOVE you San Antonio" right before their 3rd encore of the Scorpions 1981 tour. Swoon. To the wiki
Adding a bonus track of Love to Love –
As always, more to come.

How To Use Cross-Case Search With Belkasoft Evidence Center
Diving deeper may be the key to the eventual success of a digital forensic investigation. This is true not only when it comes to a single given case, but also when it comes to intersections between different cases.
Sometimes, a person being investigated may have associates who are problematic, or who have been involved in different forms of misconduct. Consequently, in the course of a digital investigation, investigators may need to examine links between a current case and other opened (or recently archived) cases. A reliable tool is needed to get a clear and coherent picture in its entirety.
That is why Belkasoft Evidence Center has a 'Cross-Case Search' function. This article is intended to demonstrate, step by step, how to use this feature productively.
General OutlineThe aim of Cross-Case Search is to detect intersections between cases. By 'intersections' we mean pieces of information identified in the current case that can be linked with relevant data found in other cases chosen at the time of analysis. The resulting matches are subsequently displayed in the 'Search Results' screen. Belkasoft Evidence Center (BEC) is capable of using the following data types for Cross-Case Search:
- Phone numbers
- E-mail addresses
- Application user identification numbers (UINs) and profile names
How To
- First, you need to enable Cross-Case Search while adding a data source. Switch on 'Run cross-case analysis':
- Click 'Next' twice (just leave the second page by default).
- Select an existing case (or cases) for your Cross-Case Search.
- Database icon. If you see this, you can pick up this particular case for a Cross-Case Search.
- Case name.
- Path to the case.
- Results associated with your current case can be accessed in the area indicated here as '1'.
- Matches from the other cases are displayed in the area '2'. These matches are items from the other case related to the new one.
Legal QuestionsSome of our customers, discussing this feature, tell us that they cannot store closed cases, so the question arises: is the Cross-Case Search function useful for them? It is, and here is why:
- First, this feature is not necessarily to be used on archived cases. You may use other open cases.
- Second, you can look into cases which are already examined but not yet deleted because they have not yet gone to trial. Some cases may last for a year or longer, and during this time you still possess these cases' data.
- Third, you can run Cross-Case Search on your colleagues' open cases.
- Lastly, even if you delete a certain case, the data required for Cross-Case Search will not be deleted by BEC by default. This data is kept anonymized, meaning that phone number and emails are not bound to any person since this information is not stored in the Cross-Case Search database. You are still able to run Cross-Case Search analysis and find meaningful results, though you will not be able to open the deleted case. This means that you can launch such a search, without corresponding images or devices, within the frames of legality.
Cross-Case Search is an invaluable function to modern-day digital investigators. With Belkasoft's Cross-Case Search, such a quest for data intersections with other cases is simple, intuitive, and automated. You can see it for yourself by requesting a free trial version of Belkasoft Evidence Center.
The Belkasoft team is proud to announce that the new version of our flagship product Belkasoft Evidence Center (BEC) has already been released! The new BEC v.9.6 includes an entire range of features and capabilities. Claim your free trial right now!

Tokyo Part 3 (last one!)
I spent A LOT of my free time in Tokyo riding my bike around and finding my way around the city, and finding cute little parks, interesting streets, and odd buildings like this one. (The streets are nearly perfect for biking – potholes are rare and people are used to bicycles on the road and are a little more careful, too!)
A small glimpse of the tiny but typical streets in Tokyo, other than the major roadways. This is near Yoyogi Station/Yoyogi Park in Shibuya on a light rainy afternoon. Little shops, restaurants, and people walking/riding bicycle everywhere. Check out how narrow the street is with that car coming!
On one of my days off, after many hot and humid days working and wishing i owned more shorts, I finally decided to go shopping in Shinjuku. I finally finished hunting for cheap shorts that would fit (and that i wouldn't be upset about if kids ruined them at kidnergarten!), and began riding home when I got a few text messages. I stopped for a moment on the side of the busiest road in the middle of one of the busiest areas in Tokyo to check them, when suddenly I heard my name being called. I looked up to see a Japanese girl waving and coming toward me. For a brief moment I was really confused since I really didn't know any Japanese people in Tokyo yet, but then I realized it was Ayako – a friend I had made while working together at the hotel in Chicago about 5 years earlier! She had lost her work visa and moved back to Japan about 3 or 4 years ago, and we had met for dinner in Tokyo when i first arrived in 2012, but hadn't been in contact since then. She was just as shocked as I was that we managed to meet again! She said she first noticed my bike then realized she knew the rider 😀 😀 😀 I learned a new word I will rarely use, but I'm sure I won't soon forget: 'guuzen' which can mean 'serendipity' in English. She insisted I join her at a bar she was working at in her home neighborhood so we could catch up. I locked up my bike and we took the train there. As we walked from the train to the bar, she waved at many local people she knew and told each of them about how we ran into each other. It was great to see her again! We met once more a couple weeks later for fried chicken dinner in the trendy kichijoji area. When we met there, her boyfriend and his friend also joined us and we met them in a music shop where he was buying a CD. Yes, a CD. People still buy CD's a lot in Japan and music stores are all over! 🙂
After my last day of work at the kindergarten I had only started at 3 months earlier, my boss took me out to dinner at an Izakaya in Shinjuku, and all the teachers joined us, then most of us went to karaoke afterwards – Here we are after dinner, my boss is in the front row with the green scarf:

Alaina Moore of US band Tennis talks to Port about penning a song in honour of T.S. Eliot's wife Vivienne
My discovery of Vivienne Eliot was an accident. I was sitting at my kitchen table in the dark, even though it was only four in the afternoon. Winter, a historically desolate time for my psyche, had got me re-reading The Waste Land. T.S. Eliot is not my fair-weather friend; I don't read Hysteria when I'm high on love or Prufrock in the warm thrill of summer, I go to him in dark moments… When I cannot work, when I am thick with doubt or when I can't stop googling celebrity pets.
I had never read Eliot until my first bout with writer's block a few years back, while working on my band's second record and learning the meaning behind the expression 'sophomore slump'. In times of crisis, I revisit his work with 'sacred text' levels of reverence, sometimes not even reading but just looking at lines.
On the day in question, I was reading carefully – perhaps with just a touch of aggression – and discovered Vivienne, his 'institutionalised writer wife'. She was a dazzling type who, depending on what you believe, either inspired her husband's best work or threatened to ruin it, published nothing in her own name, and whose coup de grace was a gossipy tell-all about Thomas' inner circle. Where most people find inspiration in love, I find it in terrible marriages.
It is strange to write pop music for a living when you feel ambivalent about love songs, but I do. My co-writer and collaborator Patrick Riley is my husband of five years. I have written exactly 12 love songs for him, which is sufficient to the point of creepy/obsessive; it's time to move on, but to what I don't know.
It took me three months to eke out the lyrics to Needle And A Knife, a relatable song about my mother leaving her hometown of Canada to marry my American father and raise four children in the US. This is clearly an unsustainable pace, and no part of the result could be seen as a top 40 radio hit (sorry, record label!). Its potential for mainstream success aside, it was the first song I'd written in a long time that felt good. It felt accurate.
Months away from turning 30, I had a habit of reflecting on my youth in a way that rendered it frighteningly distant. It had become a pinpoint on the horizon. But, from this vantage point, a new closeness emerged: empathy for my mother and alignment with women whose talents were overshadowed by the men they loved, instead of encouraged like mine. I wrote the lyrics 'I ain't afflicted with a mind that's either feminine or kind', because T.S. once praised Vivienne for having a mind that was 'not at all feminine.'
One by one, each line appeared, pliant, eager to be written. In less time than it takes an artisanal barista to brew a cup of pour-over coffee, I wrote what I later calledViv Without The N – it's not a love song, but is just as intimate. Despite the unknowable differences, I share a fundamental connection with Vivienne. I am a bell that rings and she is the echo: quivering, distant. The album practically writes itself…
Tennis' new album, Ritual in Repeat, is released on 20 April 2015

Polymer Based Nanomaterials
Subtopics: Macromolecular amphiphiles / Polymer Synthesis / Diblock Copolymers / Triblock Terpolymers / Extended Amphiphilic Dendrons / Thermoresponsive Hydrogel Mobility / Complex Fluids Under Shear
Macromolecular amphiphiles
The terms macromolecule and polymer refer to large molecules whose structure depends on the monomer or monomers used in their preparation. A polymer prepared from a single monomer is called a homopolymer. If two or more monomers are employed, the product is a copolymer. In copolymers the monomeric units may be distributed randomly (random copolymer), in alternating fashion (alternating copolymer), or in blocks (block copolymer).
If the backbone consists of a single block of each monomer A and B, the polymer is an AB diblock copolymer. Other possibilities include ABA and ABC triblock copolymers. One can also describe polymers by their connectivity as linear, branched or network.
An amphiphile is a molecule that possesses both a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic nature. Soaps, fatty acids and some block copolymers are examples of amphiphilic molecules. It is common for amphiphiles to spontaneously self-assemble into a diversity of morphologies. We use this property of macromolecular amphiphiles to design hybrid materials.
Polymer Synthesis
Our group synthesizes block copolymers in order to direct the structure of hybrid materials and to study complex fluids. Most of our polymerization reactions are done through either anionic polymerization or living radical polymerization.
- Anionic Polymerization
The most widely used technique for the preparation of model block copolymers with homogeneous chain length is living anionic polymerization. The active centers in anionic polymerization processes are highly reactive carbanions.
Because they are very sensitive to oxygen and acidic protons (water, alcohols etc.) it is necessary to exclude any impurities. This can be achieved by using vacuum or working in inert atmosphere (glovebox). Our group is equipped with four high vacuum lines and two glove boxes which are used for polymerizations of various monomer liquids and gases. Some typical polymers made by anionic polymerization are polyisoprene, polystyrene, poly(ethylene oxide) and block copolymers like poly(styrene-block-isoprene), PS-b-PI, poly(isoprene-block-ethylene oxide), PI-b-PEO and poly(isoprene-block-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate), PI-b-PDMAEMA.
- Atomic Transfer Living Radical Polymerization (ATRP)
Another commonly used technique for block copolymer preparation is ATRP. An equilibrium reaction between an alkyl halide (P-X) and a transition metal (Mt) creates a low concentration of radicals to enable polymerization (+M) while limiting unwanted termination reactions.
ATRP is both versatile and robust in that it can polymerize most vinyl monomers and is tolerant of water as well as many side groups. ATRP has been used to create block copolymers such as poly(ethylene oxide-block-acrylonitrile), PEO-b-PAN.
- Combination of Anionic and ATRP Techniques
The combination of anionic polymerization and controlled radical polymerization of vinyl monomers allows one to prepare copolymer structures that are difficult to achieve through pure sequential anionic polymerization. Well-defined polymeric architectures have been engineered via this novel route. Our group has synthesized "frustrated" amphiphilic triblock terpolymers by combining anionic polymerization and ATRP. More details on this work may be found on our Triblock terpolymers section.
Diblock Copolymers
The unlike blocks in block copolymers tend to phase separate into microdomains forming different mesophases. The size scale of the domains is governed by the chain dimensions, while the block ratio determines the mesophase structure. The known equilibrium mesophases for diblock copolymers, which include spheres (S), cylinders (C), gyroid (G), and lamellae (L) are shown in the phase diagram below.
Our group is involved in the synthesis and characterization of functional polymers with different molecular architectures. Fundamental studies on AB block copolymer thermodynamics rely on the preparation of monodispersed materials with well-defined molecular weights (MWs) and block volume fractions (f).

Triblock Terpolymers
Triblock terpolymers are a natural extension of our work with diblock copolymers. Tri-block terpolymers may be thought of simply as a diblock copolymer (AB) upon which a third block (C) is grown.
Twelve possible triblock terpolymer mophologies are shown in the figure below, including some core-shell analogs of the well-known diblock phases. Of particular interest in triblock terpolymers is the large phase space over which continuous network morphologies are observed, opening the door to many new and exciting applications of mesostructured materials. Triblock copolymers have more experimental parameters than diblock copolymers. For a given triblock copolymer system, there are three different Flory-Huggins interaction parameters χ_AB, χ_BC and χ_AC. Furthermore, for each particular polymer there are three additional independent parameters: the volume fraction of the A block (f_A), the volume fraction of the B block (f_B), and the degree of polymerization (N). Altogether, there are six parameters that determine the equilibrium structure of a given triblock terpolymer.
We have explored the phase space of the ABC polymer as shown in the ternary phase diagram below. Characteristic triblock terpolymer morphologies were observed including spherical, tubular and lamellar morphologies as shown below. In 2004, we reported the first triblock terpolymer ever to have a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) middle block.

Extended Amphiphilic Dendrons
An extension of linear-linear block-copolymers is the use of a linear polymer chain which is end-functionalized with a dendritic molecule. This molecular architecture is called a coil-dendron system. Dendrimers and dendrons constitute a subclass of dendritic structures and consist of
- a core
- an interior of shells consisting of repetitive branch-cell units
- terminal groups at the periphery
In our work, a hydrophobic poly(ether)-type dendron was extended with a linear hydrophilic polymer chain. These macromolecules self-assembled into micellar, 1D cylindrical, 2D lamellar and 3D continuous cubic mesophases. Charge transport within this nanostructured material was revealed upon doping the hydrophilic part with lithium ions, i.e. ion conductivity was confined to micelles, cylinders, lamellae or continuous throughout the network. This approach is of particular interest in areas where charge transport within polymeric matrices is becoming increasingly important, such as ion conductors, photovoltaic or electroluminescent cells.

Thermoresponsive Hydrogel Mobility
Motion at any scale attracts attention and interest. Several mechanisms for the generation of motion exist in nature on a wide range of length scales: from a macroscopic scale on which a snake crawls over a rough surface to a micro-scale where molecular motor proteins walk on microtubules. It is desirable to mimic these natural systems to make efficient devices for useful applications. While a biological approach is limited by the working environment of the device, a synthetic approach gives freedom to tune parameters as per the requirement. We take a synthetic approach to solve this problem and work with thermoresponsive hydrogels.
Hydrogels are a class of crosslinked polymers that can hold large volumes of water. Some of these polymer gels are highly sensitive to their environment and release their water upon small environmental changes. This is known as volume phase transition (VPT) and is similar to gas-liquid phase transition. We use a special kind of hydrogel, a hybrid hydrogel, in which nanocomposite clay particles are used as a crosslinker and N-Isopropylacrylamide is used as the monomer to form polymer chains between the crosslink points. The clay particles give the hydrogel robustness and the monomer makes the gel thermoresponsive. This hydrogel shows a Volume Phase Transition (VPT) at around 32 C which means when heated above 32 C the gel releases all its water. Since the process is reversible, the gel regains its size upon cooling.
These gels move in a direction when VPT is asymmetrically induced along the length of the cylindrical gel, as shown below. To achieve this, we make long cylindrical gels inside a glass capillary and then raise temperature locally using a Peltier Element device, shown below. This device has 24 Peltier Elements which are individually controlled with a switch. Each element heats/cools a small section of the capillary from the bottom. We can move these gels several times in a millimeter diameter capillary, see below, with velocities ~ 1 um/sec. In comparison, one of the fastest crawling eukaryotes, Amoebae of Acrasis (with cell surface area of 759 m^2), moves with an average speed of 71.6 mm/min.
We have also shown that this device is capable of doing work by attaching a glass bead at the end of the gel and showing that the gel carries the bead with it. We anticipate that such devices can be widely utilized in a variety of areas in biotechnology including microfluidics, small-scale robotics and drug delivery.

Complex Fluids Under Shear
Morphology processing correlations in complex polymer systems play a key role in various advanced materials, such as thermoplastic elastomers. Traditional manufacturing processes often lead to polydisperse morphologies of these materials. Precise control over microstructure is important even for conventional applications because mechanical properties such as impact strength and damping coefficient depend strongly on morphology. In addition, a large number of emerging novel applications of these materials across manyfields require the production of highly ordered, defect-free materials, these including:
- Sub-micrometer electronic circuits
- DNA electrophoresis media
- High density magnetic recording devices
- Filters with nanometer pore sizes
- Creation of quantum confinement for light emission
The ability to manipulate and control the microstructure is essential for these applications. Our primary research interest is exploring physical mechanisms underlying the behavior of self-assembled complex polymeric materials under external mechanical fields. The understanding of these mechanisms will eventually lead to invention of novel processing techniques of the materials. Experimental techniques explored:
- Rheology
- Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS)
- Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)
- In-Situ Structural Probe
In addition to using polymers as structure directing agents, we have investigated their rheological properties and used their volume phase transition to develop active polymeric materials. In conjunction with our block-copolymer structure direction work, we have sought to understand large-scale ordering of block copolymer domains through shear flow and thus desired to understand the rheological behavior of the polymers in question.
Using shear flow, we have developed a straightforward method for the macroscopic alignment of bulk polymer-nanoparticle hybrid materials from solutions. 2D SAXS patterns show orientation effects for hexagonal, lamellar and inverse hexagonal samples.

September is a meaningful month for me because it's Blood Cancer Awareness month. It's no secret that I welcome any reason to engage in conversation about blood cancer and share information, especially Multiple Myeloma. With events like the North Texas Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Blood Cancer Conference coming up on September 10th, and so much more, this month will be have me busy. There's also the Meet Us at The Bar event I'm hosting to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital on behalf of Off the Field. But as I get all fired up over those events, I have to admit that last month was remarkable too, quite to be honest.
August was the best kind of blur. I spent the start of last month jumping headfirst in to an event I'd always wanted to attend, but never had the opportunity to, the National Association of Black Journalist (NABJ) convention. This year it was a joint convention, they're partnered up with the National Association of Hispanic Journalist (NAHJ) making Washington D.C. quite to hub for media folks for several days.
As a newbie, I game planned, wanted to be a sponge, put myself out there and take it all in. I came back to Dallas inspired and feeling invigorated…as well as preparing to hit the convention again in 2017 when it's in New Orleans. The opportunity to learn from and meet some of my industry favorites let me immediately realize importance of attending the conference. I'd always wanted to, but life happened. The week my youngest was set to graduate from high school a tweet about the NABJ conference just happened to pop up on my timeline. I immediately went to the website, booked my trip and the rest is history. I call it in investment in myself, I trust me, won't miss another one.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
The biopsy results.
So we left the reader in part one just after I had my biopsy and it was quite a few days before I had to go for the results. The results were quite definite which was a good thing as I didn't want any iffy results. As we know there were 12 samples of the prostate which were analyzed. Seven of these were found to show that the cancer was present and therefore it was enough to give me a score during the test that indicated that something had to be done.Read More

Police in Edinburgh have been left puzzled after an electric scooter rider was found seriously injured on a road in the south of the city.
Officers are trying to establish exactly what happened after a 40-year-old man was found badly hurt on the city's Ferniehill Road shortly after midnight. Officers were called to the scene by a member of the public who found him on the roadway at around 12.15am.
The ambulance service rushed the man to hospital with serious, but not life-threatening, head injuries.
Enquiries are ongoing to establish how he sustained the injuries, and police are asking anyone who may have seen the rider in the Moredun and Gilmerton areas late last night to come forward.
Police Constable James Lamb from Police Scotland's Road Policing Unit based in Edinburgh said: "First and foremost we are seeking to understand how the man became injured. He suffered a head injury and was found in the eastbound lane of Ferniehill Road, just off Gilmerton Road, near to the junction with Ferniehill Avenue.
"I would ask anyone in the Moredun and Gilmerton areas who may have seen a man riding an e-scooter late last night, or any properties who may have private CCTV covering the area, to check their systems to see if this can help our enquiries.
"Similarly any drivers in the area who may have seen the rider prior to him being found injured, and especially if recording with dash cam, should provide any relevant information or footage to officers as soon as possible."
Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101 and quote incident number 0019 of February 3. An anonymous report can be given to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Walla Walla County faces spike in coronavirus cases
April 25, 2020
While coronavirus cases in the state of Washington have been lowering, coronavirus cases in Walla Walla County are spiking.
"Although the State of Washington has seen a 'flattening of the curve', Walla Walla County has not," Meghan DeBolt, the director of the Walla Walla County Department of Community Health, said in an April 21 press release. "Now is not the time to rebel against the stay at home orders; we are on the brink of having broader community transmission and need to be diligent for a few more weeks."
As of April 23, there have been 51 cases of coronavirus in Walla Walla County. Three of those community members have been hospitalized, 15 have recovered and none have died, according to Walla Walla County health officials.
According to the Walla Walla County Department of Community Health, nine of those cases have been tied to the Tyson Fresh Meats processing plant in Wallula.
In response, the plant ceased all processing operations on Friday, April 24, and began testing employees for the virus. The Walla Walla County Department of Community Health is working with Tyson to test all employees at the plant, using test kits from the State of Washington Department of Health.
In total, over 90 Tyson employees have tested positive for COVID-19. The majority of cases reside in Benton County – located just to the west of Walla Walla County and comprised of Richland and Kennewick, among other smaller cities – and Franklin County, which is located to the northwest of Walla Walla County and contains Pasco in addition to smaller cities.
Five of the cases in Walla Walla County are linked to First Fruits in Prescott, according to the Walla Walla Department of Community Health.
In response, the orchard has been reinforcing social distancing – meaning that employees must keep six feet apart from each other – requiring face coverings in areas where this distance is not possible, screening employees for symptoms before they enter the facility, cleaning surfaces per Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations and telling employees that they do not have to come into work.
According to the Washington Department of Health, there have been 12,753 cases of coronavirus and 711 deaths total in the state of Washington.
The Walla Walla County Department of Community Health urges residents to follow Gov. Inslee's stay at home order and practice social distancing – particularly in parks and other public spaces.
"The critical point of information we want the greater Walla Walla Valley to understand is that we are NOT in the clear and we need to be diligent in staying home," DeBolt said. "When or if you are in public spaces, keep 6-feet distance from others, wear a face covering if you cannot ensure this physical distancing, WASH YOUR HANDS, and please, please stop congregating at parks and other spaces – we need your help to keep our community safe."

Scaled Composites announced that they rolled out the first flight of their most recent project, which was experimental aircraft Model 401.
The company worked with others to construct two different aircrafts that showed advanced, and low-cost manufacturing techniques. They were both designed the same on the outside and as well as in performance.
They are both capable of flying with a service ceiling of 30,000, have a wingspan of 38 feet and are 38 feet long.
The first flight was part of the test phase for the first vehicle. The team plans on continue expansion of the first aircraft as they get closer to flying the second aircraft.
