Davie Hay: Neil Lennon will be tempted to run with winning Celtic side in crucial Motherwell test | Glasgow Times
Davie Hay: Neil Lennon will be tempted to run with winning Celtic side in crucial Motherwell test
Jeremie Frimpong may come back into the team, but Neil Lennon won't make too may changes to a winning Celtic side.
IF Neil Lennon was to walk into the Celtic changing room this weekend and ask if any of the players wanted a rest for the Motherwell game, I would wager he wouldn't find any volunteers.
As a player, when you come off the back of a big win like the one Celtic achieved against Lazio, then you feel as if you could play again the next day. You are just itching to get back out there because your adrenaline is still pumping and your confidence is still flowing.
I have always believed that a lot of fatigue in players starts in the mind. When you are winning games you are flying and don't really feel the little aches and pains, whereas if you are on a bad run, then suddenly these things can become more of an issue.
Those Celtic players just now won't want to come out of the side. They won't be thinking about the matches to come or the hectic schedule ahead, they will just want to play.
Neil Lennon has also said before that when his team are on a high like they are at the moment, he is reluctant to make too many changes so as not to lose that momentum they have built up, and I expect that he will remain true to that philosophy on Sunday.
Motherwell are flying high at the moment and will be a dangerous opponent. They showed enough in their recent visit to Ibrox to suggest that facing the Old Firm away doesn't faze them, and they are third in the league for a reason.
I fancy there may be a few tweaks to the Celtic line-up, with Jeremie Frimpong perhaps and maybe Ton Rogic coming back in, but this is a vital game for the club, and I expect Neil Lennon will give the fixture the respect it deserves by fielding a really strong team.

FISH RIVER CANYON: AFRICA'S BIGGEST CANYON
Posted on November 1, 2018 by Gambeta News
In our adventure corner for this week, we will be exploring one of Africa's greatness place to visit. Maybe you don't know, Africa has some hidden gems that most individuals both living in and out of the continent don't know about. In this article, we would be exploring the FISH RIVER CANYON.
Fish River Canyon, is the second largest canyon worldwide after the Grand Canyon in the USA. It is located in Namibia and form part of the state-run Ais-Ais Richtersveld Transfrontier Park. It is also close to the well-known viewpoint Hell`s Bend at the Hobas Rest camp.
The canyon is one of the most exciting hiking destination in Africa. It also have a river 800 kilometres long with is making it the longest river in Namibia. Meanwhile, the river does not carry water continuously, only during the rainy season.
According to old nama legends, Villagers from southern Namibia had to kill a giant snake that was devouring the people and their animals. The ancient tale talk about how the villagers use heavy stones to bring down the snake. This stones now forms the rock that grow over a period of time.
Meanwhile, Geologists said history of some of the oldest rocks in Namibia (gneiss) cut by the Fish River started over a billion years ago. While mountain range eroded down to a vast plain flooded by the ocean about 650 million years ago.
The Canyon is 161 km long, 27 km wide and up to 550m deep. Meanwhile, the Fish River Canyon ends at Ai Ais and the river then flows into the Orange River, the border to South Africa.

Brampton's Bacardi Facility Set to Close | inbrampton.com
by Ashley Newport on February 20, 2017
News recently broke that Bacardi Canada is shuttering its Brampton facility, an establishment that currently employs 51 workers.
While the news isn't coming as a shock to residents who watched the workforce in the plant shrink over the years, it has saddened some members of the overall community.
"For me, I am saddened to see Bacardi close. It was a large employer in Brampton and has been here for many years," Regional Councillor Martin Medeiros told inbrampton.com. [I'm saddened] especially for the workers who will be negatively impacted and their respective families."
Medeiros also added that the decision to close the facility was a difficult one.
"However, it is my understanding that it was running under capacity and this was a difficult business decision. As the location is very strategic and a prime location close to the highway off of Steeles, I hope whomever buys the plant will make a positive impact in the area and bring jobs to Brampton. The city of Brampton will work with the new business to ensure they can successfully establish [themselves]."
The news is also a little jarring in light of the fact that the federal and provincial governments announced that they were investing $350,000 in the plant as recently as May of 2016.
"Having Bacardi Canada's bottling operation anchored in our province sends a clear signal to domestic and foreign markets that Ontario is a prime location where food and beverage processing companies can invest, expand and be successful," Jeff Leal, Ontario's minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, said in a statement released last May.
While the decision might not have been terribly unexpected, it has left other members of the community dismayed.
"Bacardi had a long history in Brampton," said Todd Letts, the CEO of the Brampton Board of Trade, in a statement to inbrampton.com. "The community has been very supportive. I toured the plant last year and met many skilled people. Bacardi's decision is disappointing. Food and beverage is an emerging sector in Brampton. I hope that those employees impacted by the decision are able to find work in their field locally."

I have had some failure with sending internationally from India as well in the past (other than aypsite materials) and I have heard import in the Philippines is not always reliable also.
I'm happy the option with the donation link is fine with you, that seems very convenient. It's also relatively cheap to print in the Philippines.

Which to buy AMD or Intel CPU - TechSpot Forums
Well for most of my PC'ing life I have like AMD. Seemed to give more bang for the buck, although sometimes running a little hotter.
I know I dont like my Intel Centrion Mobile chip set in my laptop, but I do like the AMD 3500+ in my desktop, and the AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core 4200+ in the computer I use at work. I have heard a lot of bad things about the Pentium's, and pretty much was a blind follower of AMD CPU's
So now im looking to build a decent machine for myself, and was reading through PC building guide, looking the Entery Level pc (which im liking the looks of, it fits in my budget nicely). Well it recommended intel CPU. Says the "Intel Core 2 Duo E7200: The new budget king" Make me stop and think. So I did some googling, and found mostly in favor of Intel, but most of the results were 4 or 5 months old. And the computer world seems to change so much that its almost ancient history now in "PC years"
So If I'm going to be putting a new pc together in the near future what would guys guys recommend, in the same price range as the Entry Level pc guide had for cpu/mobo, for a dual core cpu. Should I go Intel or AMD? Is the Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 still the budget king??
well I am not going to say about the E7200 I personally would go for the Q8400 and here is an inexpensive motherboard
Yep, the E7200 is still the best budget CPU you can buy. For lower than $100 though, you cannot beat AMD's offerings. The E7200 is a cooler running chip however, and OCs happily to 3GHz where it will be fast enough for almost anything. You have noticed rightly however that the guide is slightly outdated, but it's not possible for the TS team to update it every few months, given the other work they're busy with. If you're interested, the ASUS P5Q Pro and the E8400 are available in a combo for $275 on Newegg. Otherwise, this is what I recommend for a budget build with the latest available components:
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail - $95 + ~$10 shipping
Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 2.53GHz 3MB L2 Cache Processor - Retail - $119 + free shipping
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail - $28 after $13 rebate + free shipping
XFX PVT98GYDLU GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail - $109.99 after $20 rebate + free shipping
Antec earthwatts EA500 500W ATX12V v2.0 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Retail - $49.99 + free shipping
Rosewill Wind Ryder RZLS142A-P BK Dual 120mm Cooling Fans and Mesh Design Front Panel Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case-Retail - Retail - $39.99 + free shipping
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (Perpendicular Recording) ST3400620AS 400GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM - $64.99 + free shipping
Acer AL2216Wbd Black 22" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor with HDCP support 300 cd/m2 700:1 - Retail - $194.99 + free shipping
Grand Total = $779.94 including shipping, but not rebates. A cheaper budget build that has much better value for money. If you replace the motherboard and CPU with the E8400 + P5Q Pro combo (scroll down for it), you'd be looking at a total of $830.94. The mouse and keyboard are entirely upto you.
Wow that was more help than i exprected!! thanks.
Although I dont need the dvd burner drive, I have one of those, and i have a monitor I can use, so that trims $229.98 off the total, giving $549.96 for the cheaper version.
What do you guys think though this card though
EVGA 384-P3-N966-TR GeForce 9600 GSO 384MB 192-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card $49.99 after $50 rebate
Instead, Its a lot cheaper ($490 for the entire system) with the rebate. But im not really sure how much performance I would be sacrificing with it.
The 9600GSO is a fair bit slower than the 9800GT, but will still give you 60FPS+ in almost every game with most of the eye candy turned on. It's not a bad choice, and if you're gaming at around 1280x1024 or 1680x1050, the card will be more than enough for you. Higher resolutions will lower performance significantly.
Well right now im using 1024x768, and probably wont be upgrading my monitor anytime soon, unless I find a screaming good deal on one. I think I will go with the 9600GSO, since its such a good prince.
One other questions: I'm assuming that I am going to have to Install the CPU on the MoBo. I have never done that before. Is it fairly easy? or should I not take the chance of something going wrong and pay $15 to have a local shop put the CPU on Mobo, and mabey put the Mobo in the case. I know I can do the rest of the assembly, its something I have done before, but I really dont want to bugger something up.
It will be tricky if you haven't done it before, since for the LGA775 socket, the pins are not on the CPU but in the mobo socket, so bending them is pretty easy if you put too much pressure on the CPU while installing it. If you're willing to try it, there are plenty of guides on the net and you'll also find Youtube videos that will show you how to get it right the first time around. If you don't think you're upto it, let a computer shop tech do it for you.
So I havent order the parts yet. Going to this weekend.
But I was thinking of swapping the case for this one:
RAIDMAX Tornado ATX-238WR Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case -$31.99 after $10.00 Mail-In Rebate and Free Shipping with a promo Code I got.
As far as I know this looks like a good case, and it slightly cheaper, and really cool looking, and has 1 more fan than the other case.
Although if someone has an issue with it please let me know.
Yeah, the Raidmax case will be okay too. I don't see any problems with it.
IF $ s still your concern, you cannot go wrong with AMD. They still provide the best bang for the buck.
IF you are looking for performance, then Intel is the way to go - though in most applications you really won't notice much of a difference.
+1 to the Tedster's sentiments. Intel=performance AMD=best performance/price ratio
Well it looks like the special on the Antec earthwatts EA500 500W ATX12V Power Supply is over
So im looking at getting this one: Antec Basiq BP500U 500W ATX12V Version 2.01 Active PFC Power Supply
As far as i can tell it would work nicely, unless someone knows otherwise.
Sorry, When You Snooze, You Lose.....
That's happened to me more than a couple of times over the years as well.
Basiq is Antec's lowest line of PSU. That said, I'm surprised that active PFC is a feature. Rage might want to ring in on a price comparable PSU to the Basiq. It is unfortunate that you weren't able to take advantage of the sale on the "Earthwatts" unit, they (at least Newegg) have been practically giving them away all Summer. I even bought a spare EA-380, $29.95 + free shipping.
The BP500U is actually a very decent unit, being made by FSP. But the Earthwatts unit is built by Seasonic, whose reputation for good PSUs is nothing short of legendary.If you want, you can get the EA500 here for around $65 or so, shipping included. Otherwise the Basiq PSU is a fine choice.

Jirjīs al-Nabī (a) (Arabic: جِرْجیس النَبی) was, according to some Islamic sources, a prophet who emerged after Prophet Jesus (a) and before Islam. According to some other sources, he was a righteous servant of God who hid his faith. He is also introduced as one of the Apostles of Jesus (a). In his Bihar al-anwar, al-Allama al-Majlisi cites the story of Jirjis (a), but considers it as undocumented because it is not confirmed in hadiths from the Infallibles (a), although in some books of supplications, "Jirjis" is mentioned along with other prophets.
In historical sources, Jirjis (a) is said to be from Palestine or Rome. He was a generous merchant who frequently donated money to needy people.
On some accounts, Jirjis (a) went to Syria to guide its idol-worshiping unjust king to the right path. However, there are other accounts according to which he donated his money and migrated to Syria and its ruler in order to protect his faith. After meeting the king of Syria, Jirjis (a) called him to worship God and abandon idolatry. When Jirjis (a) refused to honor the idols, the king ordered his torture and execution.
After the murder, Jirjis (a) came to life again. The king ordered his execution again. This happened three times. In the fourth time, he cursed the king of Syria and his people and asked God to let him die to be emancipated from pains.
Some sources take the story of Jirjis (a) to be inspired by the character of Saint George, who was known among Christians as a Divine and legendary figure.

"A tree may be valued for what it is, but a shrub is rated for just what it can do. It must render a service to compensate for its cultivation. This service may be one of beauty, through its flowers; or of use, by its fruit; or its foliage or habit of growth may be especially attractive, or of such a nature as will give it value as a shield or a cover for waste and barren places"

SOLVED: I have the F2 error - Fixya
I have the F2 error code and bought the switch membrane. Now I have the panel off but it appears the staneless steel cover is glued to the plastic inner panel and I did not want to pry it off and damage it. How do I get the outside steel panel off so I can replace the membrane?
Posted by jozmosis on May 12, 2008
Re: I have the F2 error code and bought the switch...
It would help for me to know your model number, but I'll tell you what I know generally.
Often the metal cover is held in place on the plastic control panel frame by several bent metal tabs which are visible from the rear side of the plastic frame.
You may have to remove your circuit board from the frame to see them and bend them straight so the metal cover can be removed.
The drawing below should clarify this.
F2 is a membrane switch error.
2. Replace membrane switch.
3. If problem persists, replace electronic control.
4. Replace all parts and panels before operating.
5. Plug in microwave oven or reconnect power.
The answer to your question is YES. I would venture to say the PART is - but not the labor. You would need to read your warranty to confirm.

It's most likely that the keypad is worn out or possibly you have a flaky door switch.
We have full details, critical safety, disassembly, and troubleshooting info (as well as door switch testing info) at our site. You'll find a link to our site in our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk
You can usually order Samsung parts (either the keypad / membrane switch or control panel with keypad) from http://www.samsungparts.com but that model number is not showing up, so you may have to call or e-mail them through their site.

Top 10 piston single aircraft for sale in 2018 - air.one - air.one
Top 10 Piston Single Aircraft available for sale in 2018
Piston single aircraft for sale: General Aviation is entering a renaissance period, with a series of new generation clean sheet composite designs and completely re-imagined favourites. It is exciting to see that all the aircraft reviewed offer a glass cockpit option (including Garmin G500, G1000, G1000NXi and G2000) and in many cases a standard feature. The range in avionics options poses a challenge in preparing a fair and accurate comparison of 2018 aircraft for sale as the price can subsequently vary significantly.
In order to establish our Top 10 piston single aircraft for sale, air.one uses aircraft comparison methodology that is driven by 4 primary factors, price, speed, range and useful load. We develop an Aircraft Value Index (AVI) that seeks to identify the aircraft that represents "best value" to the customer within the given sub-segments. The simplified aircraft comparison metric does not take into consideration the individual aircraft owner and pilot mission requirements, for this Air.one recommends you consult a professional aircraft dealer.
Historically best-selling aircraft types such as the Cessna 182, Beech Bonanza and Mooney M20 all offer upgraded cockpits transforming old favourites modern delights, breaking barriers to many weekend warriors.
Manufacturers such as Cirrus continue to lead the market with genuine innovations such as the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS), keeping loved ones in the air and on the ground feeling safe and secure. Diamond Aircraft building the diesel-engine aircraft revolution. Such airplane innovations attempt to reduce the two largest barriers we encounter… risk & cost.
Despite the relatively high capital costs, Cirrus continue to lead the market on new aircraft deliveries.
6 Seat Piston Single Aircraft for sale
The Piper Matrix is the best overall performer in the Air.one Value Index in the 6 seat sub-segment for its superior speed, range and useful load.
The Piper Matrix is a step-up aircraft in many ways, as a high-performance Piston Single Aircraft for sale with retractable landing gear, the aircraft also has a large premium cabin with PAX entering via a rear air-stair.
Similar aircraft include the Piper M350 which is the pressurized version of the Piper Matrix, giving up useful load for the ability to operate in comfort at flight levels. The Beechcraft Bonanza G36 flies faster and further than the Cessna T206 however you will pay a material premium for the benefit.
Cessna T206 Stationair
Not to be forgotten is the almighty Cessna T206 Stationair with the highest useful load index of the 6-seat aircraft. At a respectable 160kts cruise speed, the T206 does not pretend to be a VIP rocket, rather it is unashamedly a go anywhere, lift plenty, utility workhorse.
The modest cruise speed is matched by an equally tolerable purchase price. The T206 is also the only high-wing 6 seat aircraft option which avails itself to Amphib / Floatplane configurations.
High-Performance 4 seat Piston Singles
It is no surprise that the SR22T is the highest selling Piston Single aircraft, as it represents great value, quality and peace of mind. The base configured SR22T tops the Air.one Value Index despite being substantially outranged by it's competitors. With this in mind, if you want to regularly fly long cross-country legs then you'll be better suited to the Mooney M20 series (the M20V is the fastest production Piston Single). The other catch is that a 'typically configured' SR22 ramps up in price steeply from the 'base aircraft' which can potentially alter the result of your analysis.
It is said that something is only expensive in the absence of value, the SR22 series packs plenty in with its proprietary Perspective+ by Garmin, CAPS and other mod cons such as remote central locking, automatic landing lights.
Lancair Mako Turbo
The unwritten premise of this review was for production aircraft, however after being presented the impressive performance of the Mako Turbo we are compelled to include it into our list of Top10 Piston Single Aircraft for sale.
This giant killer is likely to cause some headaches to the more established manufacturers as it delivers incredible speed, range and useful load at a fraction of the price of the SR22T or the Cessna TTx. The major omission in this statement however is that it is sold as a kit, which is likely to exclude itself from a large portion of buyers.
The price of the Lancair Mako series varies wildly depending on the engine and avionics choices, however it is hard to overlook a 220kt cruise, 1,250nm range and a 1,300lb useful load.
The Cessna TTx has impressive overall performance with 235kt cruise and a 1270nm range. This outperforms the SR22T on both counts, however it lands short on useful load (and a parachute).
If you are seeking high-performance and quality craftmanship from the Cessna stable then you TTx is your aircraft. Incorporating the Garmin G2000 flight deck you are one step closer to the Cessna Citation experience.
4 seat Piston Singles
Perhaps an unlikely place to start, the Maule MX-7-180B is a beast and it is an affordable (relatively) Piston Single Aircraft for sale. Pictured here as an Oleo Strut Tail Dragger, it is also available with conventional tri-wheel landing gear. The STOL aircraft can haul over 1,000lbs with a cruise speed of 120kts and a range of 930nm.
The MX-7 may seem out of place among the likes of the SR-22 and the 182 with a higher finish quality and more advanced G1000 flight deck, however it's performance boosts it into similar territory. If you want to travel a long way for a little, you can get into the base model (standard with JPI EDM-930) MX-7 from $255,000.
Among the 4 seat Piston Single Aircraft there is clear leader by just about every measure, including new aircraft deliveries. The normally aspirated SR22 is the 2nd highest selling Piston Single Aircraft for sale, only to its turbo sibling.
The Cessna 182 Skylane and Cessna 172 JT-A with their high-wing, rugged gear they will likely remain a favourite among utility operators wishing to operate on unsealed runways. With a similar purchase price to the SR22 they both score modestly on the Air.one Value Index.
Tecnam P2010 'Twenty Ten'
Introduced in 2014, the FAR 23 aircraft with composite fuselage and aluminium is apparently underrated compared to its LSA approved siblings. The P2010 performs well across the board on the Air.one Value Index.
The performance of the aircraft sits right among that of the Diamond DA40 series, however the Tecnam is moderately cheaper due to the base model avionics suite is a day VFR Garmin G500 vs. the DA40's Garmin G1000. This relative value is not yet been reflected in market penetration.
The Diamond DA40 NG boasting 170hp AE300 Turbo operating on Jet A1 bats above its weight with a high-speed cruise of 154kts. Like the Tecnam the DA40 has a composite airframe, whilst it has a higher purchase price the new aircraft is delivered standard with Garmin G1000NXi and can be optioned to include GFC700 Automatic Flight Control System.
None of the above comes for free and the DA40 NG carries a considerable price tag, further analysis by a professional independent aircraft dealer will determine the extent of the operating cost benefit to your typical mission.
The Piper Warrior III is the most economical of the production 4 seat Piston Singles equipped with an updated flight deck (Garmin G500). This proven platform with the all metal fuselage will keep you flying on a budget.
The Warrior scores highly on the Air.one Value Index in cruise speed and useful load as it will carry a considerable useful load of 910lbs at 115kts. Whilst the Warrior is outperformed in these categories, the purchase price more than compensates for the modest performance.

Going Google | Tales of a Tech Coach
January 23, 2012 Uncategorizedgooglescihlar
With our migration to Google I am dedicating this blog post to some Google how-to!
Some people have been wondering about how to add a signature to their email. If you are logged into your google account, click on the wheel or sprocket icon and go to settings.
Then in the general tab if you scroll down you will see a place for your signature. Here you will also find ways to personalize your inbox and set your vacation reminders.
This may not be a big deal at work, but can be very useful at home if you have a gmail account. With gmail you can be signed into both accounts at one time. This saves you the hassle of logging into one, logging out, and then logging into the other. Here are the steps:
First, in the upper right hand corner click on where it shows that you are signed in. Then click on account settings. From there you will see something that says "sign into multiple accounts" it is defaulted to off.
Click on "edit" and then you will need to select the option to sign into multiple accounts. You will need to check each of the boxes before you can click save.
From that point on when you click on your login in the upper right hand corner you will see an option to "switch accounts".

Doubts and Division in Guinea, as President hints at third term
Aug 02 2017 by Aïssatou Barry in Conakry, JusticeInfo.Net
The possibility of a third term for President Alpha Condé is dividing Guinea. Condé himself has made same indications that he wants to run again, but has refused to make an official pronouncement. His supporters are not hiding the fact that they want to change the Constitution. The opposition, supported by some civil society, is preparing for battle and brandishing threats.
"Let's stop having a dogmatic view of whether one, two or three mandates is best," Condé said during a visit to France in April. "It's not up to external powers to decide, it depends on each country and the will of its people." This declaration has fueled suspicion in the country. Many observers think that since this declaration there is no more doubt Condé is preparing the ground for a third mandate. For the last few weeks, in fact, members of the ruling RPG party and some government bigwigs have stepped up appearances in the media to prepare public opinion.
The first one to do so was director-general of police Bangaly Kourouma. In December 2016, during a mission to Nzérékoré in Guinea's Forest region, he declared: "So long as Alpha Condé is alive, he will be President of the Republic". This caused an outcry at the time in political circles and civil society. The opposition called for the police chief to be fired. He did indeed leave his post in June… to become an advisor to the President!
Since then there have been other declarations along the same lines, and so the opposition, civil society and international institutions are now taking the issue seriously.
"A third mandate would be suicidal for Alpha Condé," warns opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo, who is mobilizing his troops. "He thinks he can tinker with the Constitution, but he should understand that is not going to happen! It's not at the ballot box that you should say no, but in the street, because that is all he understands!"
"Revisionist trap"
Another warning has come from United States Ambassador to Guinea Dennis Hankins. "No plan to change presidential terms will succeed in West Africa after the revolutions in Burkina Faso and Senegal," he said in May during a visit to Labé, capital of the Foutah region which is an opposition stronghold.
Musician Elie Kamano has also got involved. On June 17 he was arrested after calling for a protest march against any third presidential term. According to the governor's office, the demonstration was illegal.
And an incident at the 29th African Union summit is still fresh in people's memories. The Guinean president gave a dressing down to Senegalese foreign minister Mankeur Ndiaye after he declared that "in Senegal, we do not like presidential third terms".
People are now asking if anything can stop the machinery that is gearing up for a third term. It seems the warning by Constitutional Court president Kelefa Sall has fallen on deaf ears. During Condé's inauguration ceremony in in 2015, Sall courageously urged the re-elected president "not to fall into the revisionist trap". In Guinea, the constitutional provisions on the number and duration of presidential mandates are very clear. Article 27 of the Constitution says that "no person can, under any circumstances, exercise more than two presidential mandates, whether they are consecutive or not".
Is this constitutional safeguard about to fall, as in several other countries in Africa?

History News Network | China Bars Noted Scholar From Planned Trip to U.S.
A prominent Chinese scholar and film critic who was scheduled to speak at an academic conference in the United States this week said Friday that she had been barred from leaving China as punishment for her commentary on human rights and free speech.
The scholar, Cui Weiping, 54, a poet and professor at the Beijing Film Academy, said that she had planned to lecture at Harvard and attend a conference sponsored by the Association for Asian Studies in Philadelphia, but that the director of her school called this week to say she had been forbidden to travel.
"I was told I had classes to teach and that the lecture I was giving was not my specialty, but those were just excuses," said Ms. Cui, who was to have left on Wednesday. "The real reason is that they want to put pressure on me, and they want to punish me."
Communicating through her superiors at the film academy, she said "they" — an unseen entity she described as "the authorities" — had repeatedly rebuked her for perceived sins: posting social criticism on her blog; sponsoring a seminar on the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests; and sending out Twitter messages about the jailing of Liu Xiaobo, a writer who was convicted of subversion last year for demanding increased liberties.

Oliver Sacks on Storytelling, the Curious Psychology of Writing, and What His Poet Friend Taught Him About the Nature of Creativity
“The act of writing is an integral part of my mental life; ideas emerge, are shaped, in the act of writing… a special, indispensable form of talking to myself.”
By Maria Popova
Who we are and who we become is in large part the combinatorial product of the people and ideas we surround ourselves with — what William Gibson so memorably termed our “personal micro-culture” and Brian Eno called “scenius.” The more different those people are from us, the more they expand the echo chamber of our own mind, the more layered and beautiful the symphony of the spirit becomes. Nowhere is this self-expansion via relationship more evident than in the friendships between great artists and great scientists, one of the most heartening examples of which is the friendship between legendary neurologist Oliver Sacks and the poet Thom Gunn.
In On the Move: A Life (public library) — the immeasurable and incompressible rewards of which I have previously extolled at great length and with great love — Dr. Sacks, a Thoreau of the mind, recounts how his relationship with Gunn shaped his own evolution as a writer. In fact, his very autobiography is titled after Gunn’s poem “On the Move” from his 1959 collection Sense of Movement.

To be sure, Sacks’s love affair with writing predates his meeting Gunn and even his foray into science. Nicknamed Inky as a boy for his voracious appetite for pen and paper, which covered everything in ink, he began journaling at an early age — a formative practice of learning to think on paper and converse with himself. Joining the extensive roster of celebrated writers who championed the creative benefits of keeping a diary and speaking to the potency of journaling as an antidote to Tom Waits’s complaint about the inopportune timing of the muse, Sacks writes:
I started keeping journals when I was fourteen and at last count had nearly a thousand. They come in all shapes and sizes, from little pocket ones which I carry around with me to enormous tomes. I always keep a notebook by my bedside, for dreams as well as nighttime thoughts, and I try to have one by the swimming pool or the lakeside or the seashore; swimming too is very productive of thoughts which I must write, especially if they present themselves, as they sometimes do, in the form of whole sentences or paragraphs…
But for the most part, I rarely look at the journals I have kept for the greater part of a lifetime. The act of writing is itself enough; it serves to clarify my thoughts and feelings. The act of writing is an integral part of my mental life; ideas emerge, are shaped, in the act of writing.
My journals are not written for others, nor do I usually look at them myself, but they are a special, indispensable form of talking to myself.

He adds:
The need to think on paper is not confined to notebooks. It spreads onto the backs of envelopes, menus, whatever scraps of paper are at hand. And I often transcribe quotations I like, writing or typing them on pieces of brightly colored paper and pinning them to a bulletin board.
What Sacks is describing is akin to a commonplace book — that Medieval Tumblr in which thinkers recorded quotations and ideas from whatever they were reading, assembling a personal archive of the ideas that shaped their own minds. (Brain Pickings is essentially one giant commonplace book, and this very piece a sort of bulletin board pinned to which is my discourse with Sacks’s extraordinary text.)

By the time he was in graduate school, Sacks began externalizing these inner conversations, doing for others what he had been doing for himself on the pages of his journals — clarifying the complexities of mental life at the intersection of science and storytelling, honing the singular gift for which he is so beloved today.
He was so electrified by working with patients at a migraine clinic in the mid-1960s that he felt compelled to transmute these insights into a book. But when he finally finished the manuscript and showed it to his boss at the clinic — a prominent but petty and egomaniacal neurologist by the name of Arnold P. Friedman — he was curtly told that the manuscript was garbage, that he had to destroy it, and that he dare not think about turning it into a book ever again; or else, Friedman threatened, Sacks would be promptly fired and barred from getting another job anywhere in America. Friedman confiscated the manuscript and locked it away.
Still, Sacks trusted that he had written something substantive and important — something that might forever change our understanding of how the mind works. He suppressed his feelings for months but, finally, the resentment exploded into action: One night, with the help of the clinic’s janitor, he sneaked in and, between midnight and 3 A.M., arduously copied his own notes by hand. The next day, he told Friedman he was taking a long leave to London and when his boss demanded a reason, Sacks responded that he had no choice but to write the forbidden book.
He was fired via telegram a week later. And yet a strange sense of liberation set in, which he poured into the writing.
But if this wasn’t courageous enough an act, he soon performed what is perhaps the greatest act of creative courage — the same one John Steinbeck had performed three decades earlier in destroying a manuscript he didn’t feel was good enough and rewriting it from scratch into what would become his Pulitzer-winning novel The Grapes of Wrath, the cornerstone of his Nobel Prize. Sacks recounts:
I was dissatisfied with my 1967 manuscript and decided to rewrite the book. It was the first of September, and I said to myself, “If I do not have the finished manuscript in Faber’s hands by September 10, I shall have to kill myself.” And under this threat, I started writing. Within a day or so, the feeling of threat had disappeared, and the joy of writing took over. I was no longer using drugs, but it was a time of extraordinary elation and energy. It seemed to me almost as though the book were being dictated, everything organizing itself swiftly and automatically. I would sleep for just a couple of hours a night. And a day ahead of schedule, on September 9, I took the book to Faber & Faber. Their offices were in Great Russell Street, near the British Museum, and after dropping off the manuscript, I walked over to the museum. Looking at artifacts there — pottery, sculptures, tools, and especially books and manuscripts, which had long outlived their creators — I had the feeling that I, too, had produced something. Something modest, perhaps, but with a reality and existence of its own, something that might live on after I was gone.
I have never had such a strong feeling, a feeling of having made something real and of some value, as I did with that first book, which was written in the face of such threats from Friedman and, for that matter, from myself. Returning to New York, I felt a sense of joyousness and almost blessedness. I wanted to shout, “Hallelujah!” but I was too shy. Instead, I went to concerts every night — Mozart operas and Fischer-Dieskau singing Schubert — feeling exuberant and alive.
Sacks’s jubilant intuition wasn’t misplaced — that manuscript became his 1970 debut Migraine, which was welcomed with wholehearted critical acclaim and catapulted him into the status of masterful science storyteller. When the book came out, he found out that Friedman had adapted the original manuscript and attempted to publish it under his own name — a tragicomic testament to the fact that it is Sacks’s singular gift as a writer and storyteller, not his scientific genius alone, that make him the cultural icon he is today.

Sacks had befriended Thom Gunn in the early 1960s, but it wasn’t until after the publication of Migraine that he was able to engage with the poet in conversations about writing more confidently — a confidence further nurtured by Gunn’s encouraging feedback which, alongside the staunch support of Sacks’s beloved aunt Lennie, was instrumental in emboldening the budding writer to embark upon this far from easy path.
He talked with Gunn about “the process of writing, the rushes and stoppages, the illuminations and darknesses, which seemed to be part and parcel of the creative process.” Long before cognitive scientists came to study the psychology of writing, Gunn captured the mysterious psychological messiness of the process in one of his letters to Sacks:
I am a bit slothful at the moment. My pattern seems to be: a long cessation of any coherent writing after I have completed a MS, then a tentative start followed by, during the next few years, various separate bursts of activity, ending with a sense of the new book as a whole, in which I make discoveries about my subject(s) that I have never anticipated. It’s strange, the psychology of being a writer. But I suppose it’s better not to be merely facile — the blocks, the feelings of paralysis, the time when language itself seems dead, these all help me in the end, I think, because when the “quickenings” do come they are all the more energetic by contrast.
Sacks reflects on the sincerity of his friend’s values:
It was crucial for Thom that his time be his own; his poetry could not be hurried but had to emerge in its own way… “My income,” [he] wrote, “averages about half that of a local bus-driver or street sweeper, but it is of my own choosing, since I prefer leisure to working at a full-time job.” But I do not think Thom felt too constrained by his slender means; he had no extravagances (though he was generous with others) and seemed naturally frugal. (Things eased up in 1992, when he received a MacArthur Award, and after this he was able to travel more and enjoy some financial ease, to indulge himself a bit.)
I was particularly taken, and felt a deep kinship, with Sacks’s parenthetical note about Gunn’s ethos regarding writing about the writing of others:
Thom rarely reviewed what he did not like, and in general his reviews were written in the mode of appreciation.
Despite knowing his friend’s disposition toward criticism, Sacks recounts:
I sometimes felt terrified of his directness — terrified, in particular, that he would find my writings, such as they were, muzzy, dishonest, talentless, or worse.
But their relationship lived up to Emerson’s assertion that “a friend is a person with whom [one] may be sincere” — Gunn’s feedback, always in the spirit of Samuel Beckett’s masterwork of constructive criticism, was monumentally beneficial to Sacks’s development as a writer, who was “eager for [Gunn’s] reactions, depended on them, and gave them more weight than those of anyone else.”

But the feedback that most touched him was about his 1973 book Awakenings — a cultural classic that was eventually made into a film starring Robin Williams as Sacks. Gunn wrote:
Awakenings is, anyway, extraordinary. I remember when, some time in the late Sixties, you described the kind of book you wanted to write, simultaneously a good scientific book and worth reading as a well-written book, and you have certainly done it here… I have also been thinking of the Great Diary you used to show me. I found you so talented, but so deficient in one quality — just the most important quality — call it humanity, or sympathy, or something like that. And, frankly, I despaired of your ever becoming a good writer, because I didn’t see how one could be taught such a quality… Your deficiency of sympathy made for a limitation of your observation… What I didn’t know was that the growth of sympathies is something frequently delayed till one’s thirties. What was deficient in these writings is now the supreme organizer of Awakenings, and wonderfully so. It is literally the organizer of your style, too, and is what enables it to be so inclusive, so receptive, and so varied… I wonder if you know what happened. Simply working with the patients over so long, or the opening-up helped by acid, or really falling in love with someone (as opposed to being infatuated). Or all three…
Sacks adds:
I was thrilled by this letter, a bit obsessed, too. I did not know how to answer Thom’s question. I had fallen in love — and out of love — and, in a sense, was in love with my patients (the sort of love, or sympathy, which makes one clear-eyed).
But it was in Gunn’s poetry that Sacks found something else — something tremendously important to our understanding of how creativity works and the constant, necessary dialogue between influence and so-called originality mediated by our imperfect memory, of which Sacks has written beautifully. Reflecting on Gunn’s intricate tapestry of influences — his creative lineage of what Margaret Mead termed our “spiritual and mental ancestors” — Sacks writes:
I loved the sense of history, of predecessors, in many of Thom’s poems. Sometimes this was explicit, as in his “Poem After Chaucer” (which he sent me as a New Year’s card in 1971); more often it was implicit. It made me feel at times that Thom was a Chaucer, a Donne, a Lord Herbert, who now found himself in the America, the San Francisco, of the late twentieth century. This sense of ancestors, of predecessors, was an essential part of his work, and he often alluded to, or borrowed from, other poets and other sources. There was no tiresome insistence on “originality,” and yet, of course, everything he used was transmuted in the process.
Gunn himself, echoing Montaigne’s sentiments about originality, addressed this in an autobiographical essay:
I must count my writing as an essential part of the way in which I deal with life. I am however a rather derivative poet. I learn what I can from whom I can. I borrow heavily from my reading, because I take my reading seriously. It is part of my total experience and I base most of my poetry on my experience. I do not apologize for being derivative… It has not been of primary interest to develop a unique poetic personality, and I rejoice in Eliot’s lovely remark that art is the escape from personality.

And yet art requires undisturbed personal space for the “quickenings” of the creative process to unfold slowly — something Sacks protected with great discipline as he blossomed into a prolific writer himself. In his house on City Island, he tacked a sign to the wall above his desk that simply read “NO!” — “reminding myself to say no to invitations so I could preserve writing time,” he explains. It is no accident that Sacks dedicates the final sentences in his autobiography to this great love of writing and, in a sentiment that calls to mind the psychology of flow, fuses it with his great gift for science:
I am a storyteller, for better and for worse.
I suspect that a feeling for stories, for narrative, is a universal human disposition, going with our powers of language, consciousness of self, and autobiographical memory.
The act of writing, when it goes well, gives me a pleasure, a joy, unlike any other. It takes me to another place — irrespective of my subject — where I am totally absorbed and oblivious to distracting thoughts, worries, preoccupations, or indeed the passage of time. In those rare, heavenly states of mind, I may write nonstop until I can no longer see the paper. Only then do I realize that evening has come and that I have been writing all day.
Over a lifetime, I have written millions of words, but the act of writing seems as fresh, and as much fun, as when I started it nearly seventy years ago.

Every page of the altogether magnificent On the Move emanates this contagious delight in writing and furnishes an equivalent delight in reading — a sense of being invited, in the most generous way possible, into a lifetime of Sacks’s conversations with his own luminous, incessantly quickening mind.

Businesses battle political misconception over surplus from income
Politicians and businesspeople are locking horns yet again over an issue concerning retained earnings.
Retained earnings under shareholders' equity on balance sheets are the surplus from a company's net income after paying dividends to investors.
Lawmakers of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) recently claimed that companies are hoarding too much of their retained earnings without investing them to create jobs.
DPK floor leader Rep. Hong Young-pyo said chaebol should release their money into the market to create a virtuous capital cycle and help revamp the economy.
Kim Jin-pyo, a former finance minister, also said in interviews that conglomerates are just sitting on their earnings surpluses worth over 800 trillion won, and do not know what to do with their amassed fortunes.
Retained earnings of the top 30 conglomerates stood at 838 trillion won in 2017, up 9.2 percent from a year earlier, according to CEO Score, a local corporate data analyst.
He suggested relaxing rules to enable them to reinvest their retained earnings in startups. Kim is currently running for the chief of the ruling party at the end of this month.
Experts say there still seems to be a knowledge gap between politics and business over the concept of retained earnings.
Most companies' retained earnings are already being reinvested in both tangible and intangible assets ― approximately 80 percent of these on average.
"They reinvest from retained earnings to expand their facilities or buy equipment for further growth," said Han In-goo, an accounting professor at the KAIST School of Business. Han is former president of the Korean Academy of Business Administration.
Not only do they reinvest in their core businesses, but also they can use retained earnings to pay down their debt.
Creating a "no rule" environment enabling companies to reinvest their surpluses in startups would be "marvelous" for the private sector.
"However, ultimately, that is up to their boards and shareholders to decide," Han said, adding that it is inaccurate to say companies do not know where to reinvest their retained earnings.
Bae Gil-soo, a professor at Korea University Business School, concurred.
"Retained earnings absolutely do not mean cash is piling up in companies' coffers," Bae said.
They can be in the form of assets such as facilities and machines still recorded under retained earnings on their balance sheets after reinvestment, he explained.
Companies are under no legal pressure to disclose what they are going to do with their retained earnings, Bae noted.
"When politicians say companies can't find investment opportunities with their surpluses, it is an unfounded claim," he said.
"Companies run their businesses to make a profit for their shareholders. What if they say they have no idea where to reinvest and what to do with their retained earnings? Those companies would be in pretty bad shape."
When a company has an enormous potential to grow, it would reinvest most of its earned surplus into expansion, while paying either no or very little in dividends to shareholders, the professors noted.
Apple, for instance, when Steve Jobs was its chief executive, did this. The company's blockbuster and innovative products such as the iPod and iPhone spurred its profits, and that boosted its share price. This, in turn, made its shareholders very happy. Apple's market value surpassed $1 trillion recently.
"In this sense, reinvestment can be seen as dividends for shareholders of growing companies," Bae said.
On the other hand, when a company faces a growth limit, it would increase dividend payouts from retained earnings.
Obviously, not all retained earnings are spent on reinvesting in core businesses and paying dividends. Some portion left as cash will be recorded under cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheets.
In 2014, then-Finance Minister Choi Kyoung-hwan suggested imposing taxes on retained earnings to force companies to unleash the stockpiled cash in their coffers. Some lawmakers then also "wrongly" believed retained earnings meant cash.
"There's never been a case globally where governments imposed taxes on retained earnings or cash holdings," Han said.
Companies accumulate cash for a number of reasons. One of the top reasons is to save for a rainy day such as a financial crisis when credit markets freeze.
When compared with Apple holding over $100 billion in cash, Samsung Electronics' $30 billion is small, Han noted, adding local companies are "not accumulating enough cash" compared to their global peers.

The evolutionary changes within the phylogeny of the hemocyanin superfamily are closely related to the emergence of these different proteins in various species. The understanding of proteins within this superfamily would not be well understood without the extensive studies of hemocyanin in arthropods.[5]
Although the respiratory function of hemocyanin is similar to that of hemoglobin, there are a significant number of differences in its molecular structure and mechanism. Whereas hemoglobin carries its iron atoms in porphyrin rings (heme groups), the copper atoms of hemocyanin are bound as prosthetic groups coordinated by histidine residues. The active site of hemocyanin is composed of a pair of copper(I) cations which are directly coordinated to the protein through the driving force of imidazolic rings of six histidine residues.[6] It has been noted that species using hemocyanin for oxygen transportation include crustaceans living in cold environments with low oxygen pressure. Under these circumstances hemoglobin oxygen transportation is less efficient than hemocyanin oxygen transportation.[7] Nevertheless, there are also terrestrial arthropods using hemocyanin, notably spiders and scorpions, that live in warm climates. The molecule is conformationally stable and fully functioning at temperatures up to 90 degrees C.[8]
Most hemocyanins bind with oxygen non-cooperatively and are roughly one-fourth as efficient as hemoglobin at transporting oxygen per amount of blood. Hemoglobin binds oxygen cooperatively due to steric conformation changes in the protein complex, which increases hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen when partially oxygenated. In some hemocyanins of horseshoe crabs and some other species of arthropods, cooperative binding is observed, with Hill coefficients of 1.6–3.0. Hill coefficients vary depending on species and laboratory measurement settings. Hemoglobin, for comparison, has a Hill coefficient of usually 2.8–3.0. In these cases of cooperative binding hemocyanin was arranged in protein sub-complexes of 6 subunits (hexamer) each with one oxygen binding site; binding of oxygen on one unit in the complex would increase the affinity of the neighboring units. Each hexamer complex was arranged together to form a larger complex of dozens of hexamers. In one study, cooperative binding was found to be dependent on hexamers being arranged together in the larger complex, suggesting cooperative binding between hexamers. Hemocyanin oxygen-binding profile is also affected by dissolved salt ion levels and pH.[9]
Hemocyanin is made of many individual subunit proteins, each of which contains two copper atoms and can bind one oxygen molecule (O2). Each subunit weighs about 75 kilodaltons (kDa). Subunits may be arranged in dimers or hexamers depending on species; the dimer or hexamer complex is likewise arranged in chains or clusters with weights exceeding 1500 kDa. The subunits are usually homogeneous, or heterogeneous with two variant subunit types. Because of the large size of hemocyanin, it is usually found free-floating in the blood, unlike hemoglobin.[10]
Hexamers are characteristic of arthropod hemocyanins.[11] A hemocyanin of the tarantula Eurypelma californicum[2] is made up of 4 hexamers or 24 pepide chains. A hemocyanin from the house centipede Scutigera coleoptrata[12] is made up of 6 hexamers or 36 chains. Horseshoe crabs have an 8-hexamer (i. e. 48-chain) hemocyanin. Simple hexamers are found in the spiny lobster Panulirus interruptus and the isopod Bathynomus giganteus.[11] Peptide chains in crustaceans are about 660 amino acid residues long, and in chelicerates they are about 625. In the large complexes there is a variety of variant chains, all about the same length; pure components do not usually self-assemble.[citation needed]
Hemocyanin is homologous to the phenol oxidases (e.g. tyrosinase) since both proteins share type 3 Cu active site coordination.[13] In both cases inactive proenzymes such as hemocyanin, tyrosinase, and catcholoxidase must be activated first. This is done by removing the amino acid that blocks the entrance channel to the active site when the proenzyme is not active. There is currently no other known modifications necessary to activate the proenzyme and enable catalytic activity. Conformational differences determine the type of catalytic activity that the hemocyanin is able to perform.[14] Hemocyanin also exhibits phenol oxidase activity, but with slowed kinetics from greater steric bulk at the active site. Partial denaturation actually improves hemocyanin’s phenol oxidase activity by providing greater access to the active site.[1][13]
The hemocyanin found in the blood of the Chilean abalone, Concholepas concholepas, has immunotherapeutic effects against bladder cancer in murine models. Mice primed with C. concholepas before implantation of bladder tumor (MBT-2) cells. Mice treated with C. concholepas hemocyanin showed antitumor effects: prolonged survival, decreased tumor growth and incidence, and lack of toxic effects and may have a potential use in future immunotherapy for superficial bladder cancer.[20]
Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) is an immune stimulant derived from circulating glycoproteins of the marine mollusk Megathura crenulata. KLH has been shown to be a significant treatment against the proliferations of breast cancer, pancreas cancer, and prostate cancer cells when delivered in vitro. Keyhole limpet hemocyanin inhibits growth of human Barrett's esophageal cancer through both apoptic and nonapoptic mechanisms of cell death.[21]
A 2003 study of the effect of culture conditions of blood metabolites and hemocyanin of the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei found that the levels of hemocyanin, oxyhemocyanin in particular, are affected by the diet. The study compared oxyhemocyanin levels in the blood of white shrimp housed in an indoor pond with a commercial diet with that of white shrimp housed in an outdoor pond with a more readily available protein source (natural live food) as well. Oxyhemocyanin and blood glucose levels were higher in shrimp housed in outdoor ponds. It was also found that blood metabolite levels tended to be lower in low activity level species, such as crabs, lobsters, and the indoor shrimp when compared to the outdoor shrimp. This correlation is possibly indicative of the morphological and physiological evolution of crustaceans. The levels of these blood proteins and metabolites appear to be dependent on energetic demands and availability of those energy sources.[22]
Haemocyanins are found in the haemolymph of many invertebrates. They are divided into 2 main groups, arthropodan and molluscan. These have structurally similar oxygen-binding centres, which are similar to the oxygen-binding centre of tyrosinases, but their quaternary structures are arranged differently. The arthropodan proteins exist as hexamers comprising 3 heterogeneous subunits (a, b and c) and possess 1 oxygen-binding centre per subunit; and the molluscan proteins exist as cylindrical oligomers of 10 to 20 subunits and possess 7 or 8 oxygen-binding centres per subunit [PUBMED:3207675]. Although the proteins have similar amino acid compositions, the only real similarity in their primary sequences is in the region corresponding to the second copper-binding domain, which also shows similarity to the copper-binding domain of tyrosinases.
Hexamerins are proteins from the hemolymph of insects, which may serve as a store of amino acids for synthesis of adult proteins. They do not possess the copper-binding histidines present in hemocyanins [PUBMED:8015442].
Homologues are also present in other kinds of organism, for example, AsqI from the yeast Emericella nidulans. This is a tyrosinase involved in biosynthesis of the aspoquinolone mycotoxins, though its exact function is unknown [PUBMED:25251934].
This entry represents the middle domain of hemocyanin and hexamerin proteins, which is involved in copper binding in hemocyanins.
For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the Hemocyanin_M domain has been found. There are 60 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein sequence.

Beezus And Ramona - Chapter 3
One day after school Henry Huggins, who lievd in the next block, came over to play checkers with Beezus. His dog Ribsy came with him, because Henry never went anywhere without Ribsy. Beezus liked Henry, because she knew he thought she had more sense than most girls, and the two often played checkers together. So far Beezus had won fourty-eight games and Henry had won fourty-nine, not counting the games Ramona had spoiled by tipping over the checkerboard.
"Your move," said Henry to Beezus.
"I want to play," said Ramona, riding her tricycle up to the coffee table and shaking her head to make her ears flop. Ribsy got up and moved to a corner, where he could lay down with his nose on his paws to watch Ramona.
"You're too little," said Beezus, as she moved a checker. "Besides, only two can play checkers."
"We could play tiddlywinks," said Ramona. "I know how to play tiddlywinks."
Beezus did not answer. Her mind was on the game as she watched Henry's move very carefully.
"I said we could play tiddlywinks," yelled Ramona.
Beezus looked up from the checkerboard. "Ramona, you stop bothering us," she said in her severest voice.
Ramona scowled and pedaled backwards away from the coffee table while Beezus returned to her game and studied the board. She had to be careful, because Henry had already captured half of her checkers. Let's see, she thought, I could move from here to there -- no, that wouldn't work, because then he could -- but if I move from there to there -- yes, that was it! Beezus lifted her hand to pick up the checker.
At that instant Ramona pedaled as fast as she could toward the coffee table. Crash! The front wheel of Ramona's tricycle rammed into the table. Checkers bounced into the air and showered over the table, falling to the floor and rolling across the rug.
"There!" said Ramona, and calmly pedaled away.
"Hey!" protested Henry.
"Mother!" Beezus called. "Ramona's bothering us!"
Wiping her hands on her apron, Mother came out of the kitchen. "Ramona, you know you're not supposed to bother Henry and Beezus when they're playing checkers. Now go to your room and stay there until you are able to behave yourself."
"No," said Ramona. "I don't have anybody to play with me and I want Beezus and Henry to play with me."
"You heard me." Mother lifted Ramona off the tricycle.
I'll bet she has a tantrum, thought Beezus, as she picked up the checkers.
"Ramona," said Mother in a warning voice, "I'm going to count to ten."
"One . . . two . . ." began Mother.
"Eight . . . nine," said Mother.
In a few minutes Beezus heard Ramona open the bedroom door. "Now can I come out?" she called.
"Can you stop bothering Beezus and Henry?" Mother asked from the kitchen.
"No," said Ramona, and shut the door.
Not more than one minute later Ramona opened the door again and came into the living room. "I can stop bothering," she said with a sulky look on her face, and Beezus could see she was still cross because she had been punished.
"That's good," called Mother. "Come here, and I'll give you a cooky."
Seeing Ramona go into the kitchen, Ribsy sat up, scratched, and trotted after her. Although Ribsy did not trust Ramona, he was always interested in what went on in the kitchen.
I hope she stays in the kitchen, thought Beezus, as she picked up a checker and skipped from here to there to there and captured two of Henry's men. The game became so exciting that Beezus almost forgot about Ramona. At the same time she was vaguely aware of scuffling sounds in the hall. Then she heard the jingle of Ribsy's license tags and the click of his claws on the hardwood floor. Ribsy gave a short bark. Then the bathroom door slammed. I wonder what Ramona is doing, thought Beezus, as she captured another checker, but she did not much care as long as Ramona did not interrupt the game.
"Let me in!" screamed Ramona from the hall. "Let me in the bathroom."
"Ramona, who are you talking to?" asked Mother as she went into the hall.
"Ribsy," said Ramona, and beat on the door with her fists.
"Open the door and let him out," said Mother.
"I can't," shouted Ramona angrily, above Ribsy's furious barks. "The bad old dog went and locked the door."
"Oh, stop pretending." Beezus was exasperated with Ramona for interrupting the game a second time. It was too bad that a girl couldn't have a friend over for a game of checkers without her little sister spoiling all her fun.
"I'm not pretending," screamed Ramona, clinging to the doorknob while Robsy barked and scratched at the other side of the door.
"Ramona!" Mother's voice was stern. "Let that dog out."
"I can't," cried Ramona, rattling the bathroom door. "The bad old dog locked me out."
"Nonsense. Dogs can't lock doors," scolded Mother. "Now open that door and let him out."
Ramona bagan to sob and Ribsy barked louder. Ramona gave the door a good hard kick.
"Oh, for Pete's sake," muttered Henry.
"Ramona, I am very cross with you," said Mother. She pried Ramona's fingers loose and started to open the door. The knob would not turn. "That's strange," she remarked, and rattled the door herself. Then she hit the door with her fist to see if it might be stuck. The door did not budge. There was no doubt about it. The bathroom door was locked.
"But how could it be locked?" Henry asked.
"I told you Ribsy locked it," Ramona shouted.
"Don't be silly," said Beezus impatiently.
"Now how on earth-" began Mother in a puzzled voice and then she interrupted herself. "Do you suppose when Ribsy was pawing at the door he bumped against the buton in the center of the knob and really did lock the door? Of course! That's exactly what must have happened."
A dog that locked the bathroom door! That Ribsy, thought Beezus. He's always getting into trouble, and now he's locked the Quimbys out of their bathroom.
"I told you he locked the door," Ramona said.
"Yes, but what was my dog doing in the bathroom in the first place?" Henry demanded.
"I put him in there," said Ramona.
"Ramona Quimby!" Even Mother sounded exasperated. "Sometimes I don't know what gets into you. You know dogs don't belong in the bathroom. Now go to your room and stay there until I tell you to come out."
"Yes, but-" Ramona began.
"I don't want to have to speak to you again." It was unusual for Mother to be as stern as this.
"Where is the key?" Beezus asked.
"I don't know," answered Mother. "I don't remember that we ever had a key."
"But there's a keyhole," said Beezus. "There must be a key."
"Ribsy, be quiet," ordered Henry. "We'll get you out." But Ribsy only barked harder, and his barks echoed and re-echoed around the small room.
"No one gave us a key to the bathroom when we rented the house," explained Mother. "And when Ramona first learned to walk we fastened the button down with Scotch tape so she couldn't lock herself in."
"You did?" Ramona, fascinated with this bit of information about herself, stopped crying and learned out into the hall. "How big was I then?" No one bothered to answer her.
"We've got to get Ribsy out of the bathrom," said Beezus.
"Yes," agreed Mother, "but how?"
"If you have a ladder I'll climb in the bathroom window and unlock the door," Henry offered.
"The window is locked too," said Mother, bending over to examine the knob on the door.
"Maybe we could call the fire department." Henry tried another suggestion. "They're always rescuing cats and things."
"They couldn't do anything with the bathroom window locked," Beezus pointed out.
"I guess that's right." Henry sounded disappointed. It would have been exciting to have the fire department rescue Ribsy.
"Well, I just can't see any way to take the knon off," said Mother. "There aren't any screws on this side of the door."
"We've got to get him out some way," said Henry. "We can't just leave him in there. He'll get hungry."
Beezus did not think this remark of Henry's was very thoughtful. Of course Ribsy would get hungry if he stayed in the bathroom long enough, but on the other hand they would need their bathroom and it was Henry's dog who had locked them out. Then Beezus made a suggestion. "Maybe if we puched some glue under the door so Ribsy would get his paws in it, and then called to him so he would scratch at the door, maybe his paws would stick to the button in the knob and he could unlock it himself." Beezus thought her idea was a good one until she saw the disgusted look on Henry's face. "I just thought it might work," she said apologetically.
"Mother-" began Ramona, leaning out into the hall.
Mother paid no attention to her. "I just don't see what we can do-"
"Mother," said Ramona urgently. This time she stepped into the hall.
"Unless we get a ladder (Go back to your room, Ramona) and break the window so we can unlock it," Mother continued, speaking with one sentence inside another, the way grownups so often did with Ramona around.
"But Mother," insisted Ramona even more urgently. "I have to-"
"Oh, dear, I might have known," sighed Mother. "Well, come on. I'll take you next door."
"Don't worry, Ribsy," said Henry. "We'll get you out somehow." He turned to Beezus and sand gloomily, "If we don't get him out by dinnertime, maybe we could cut some meat up in real little pieces and shove it under the door to him. I don't see how we could get a drink of water to him, though."
"We have to get him out before then," said Beezus. "Father wouldn't like it if he came home and found Ribsy had locked him out of the bathroom."
"Ribsy couldn't have locked the door if Ramona hadn't put him in the bathrom in the first place," Henry pointed out. "What a dumb thing to do!"
Beezus had nothing to say to this. What could she say when it really had been Ramona's fault?
Mother and Ramona soon returned. "I think we'll get Ribsy out now," said Mother cheerfully. "The lady next door says her little grandson locks himself in the bathroom every time he comes to visit her, and she always unlocks the door with a nail file. She told me how to do it." Mother found a nail file, which she inserted in the keyhole. She wiggled it around, the doorknob clicked, andMother opened the door. It was as easy as that!
With a joyous bark Ribsy bounded out and jumped up on Henry. "Good old Ribsy," said Henry. "Did you think we were going to leave you in there?" Ribsy wriggled and wagged his tail happily because he was free at last.
"Now maybe he'll be a good dog," said Ramona sulkily.
"He is a good dog, aren't you, Ribsy?" Henry patted him.
"He is not a good dog," contradicted Ramona. "He took my cooky away from me and gobbled it right up."
"Oh," said Henry uncomfortably. "I didn't know he ate your cooky."
"Well, he did," said Ramona, "and I made him go in the bathroom until he could be a good dog."
From the way Henry looked at Ramona, Beezus could tel he didn't think much of her reason for shutting Ribsy in the bathroom.
"Oh, Ramona." Mother looked amused and exasperated at the same time. "Just because you were sent to your room is no reason for you to try to punish Henry's dog."
"It is, too," said Ramona defiantly. "He was bad."
"Well, I guess I better be going," said Henry. "Come on, Ribsy."
"Don't go, Henry," begged Beezus. "Maybe we could go out on the porch or someplace and play a game."
"Some other time maybe," answered Henry. "I've got things to do."
"All right," agreed Beezus reluctantly. Henry probably knew they wouldn't be safe from Ramona anywhere, the way she was behaving today.
When Henry had gone, Ramona gave a hop to make her rabbit ears flop. "Now we can play tiddlywinks!" she announced, as if she had been waiting for this moment all afternoon.
"No, we can't," snapped Beezus, who could not remember when she had been so annoyed with Ramona.
"Yes, we can," said Ramona. "Henry's gone now."
"We can't, because I won't play. So there!" answered Beezus. It wasn't as though Henry came over every day to play checkers. He came only once in a while, and then they couldn't play because Ramona wass so awful.
Just then the telephone rang and Mother answered it. "Oh, hello, Beatrice," Beezus heard her say. "I was hoping you'd call."
"Tiddlywinks, tiddlywinks, I want to play tiddlywinks," chanted Ramona, shaking her head back and forth.
"Not after the way you spoiled our checker game," said Beezus. "I wouldn't play tiddlywinks with you for a million dollars."
"Yes!" shouted Ramona.
"Children!" Mother put her hand over the mouthpiece of the telephone. "I'm trying to talk to your Aunt Beatrice."
For a moment Beezus forgot her quarrel with Ramona. "Is she coming over today?" she asked eagerly.
"Not today." Mother smiled at Beezus. "But I'll tell her you wish she'd come."
"Tell her she hasn't been here for two whole weeks," said Beezus.
"Tiddlywinks, tiddlywinks," chanted Ramona, more quietly this time. "We're going to play tiddlywinks."
"We are not!" whispered Beezus furiously. And as she looked at Ramona a terrible thought came to her. Right that very instant she was so exasperated with Ramona that she did not like her at all. Not one little bit. Crashing her tricycle into the checkerboard, throwing a tantrum, and shoving a dog into the bathroom -- how could one four-year-old be such a pest all in one afternoon? And Ramona wasn't one bit sorry about it, either. She was glad she had driven Henry home with her naughtiness. Just look at her, thought Beezus. Cooky crumbs sticking to the front of her overalls, her hands and face dirty, and those silly paper ears. She's just awful, that's what she is, perfectly awful -- and she looks so cheerful. To look at her you wouldn't know she'd done a thing. She's spoiled my whole afternoon and she's happy. She even thinks she'll get me to play tiddlywinks with her. Well, I won't. I won't, because I don't like her one little bit!
To get away from Ramona, Beezus stalked into the living room and threw herself into her father's big chair. Not one little bit, she thought fiercely. But as Beezus sat listening to her mother chatting and laughing over the telephone, she began to feel uncomfortable. She ought to like Ramona. Sisters always liked each other. They were supposed to. Like Mother and Aunt Beatrice. But that was different, Beezus thought quickly. Aunt Beatrice wasn't like Ramona. She was -- well, she was Aunt Beatrice, loving and understanding and full of fun. Ramona was noisy and grubby and exasperating.
I feel so mixed up, thought Beezus. Sometimes I don't like Ramona at all, and I'm supposed to like her because she's my sister, and . . . Oh, dear, even if she's little, can't she ever be more like other people's sisters?

If you’re human, you’ve wondered how many people really see your posts on Facebook. Well, thanks to a bug in Facebook’s mobile app last year, for a brief moment of brutal honesty, you could do just that. The bug let you see the exact number of view counts on any photo, article, or video link, which is similar to the way Facebook currently displays the number of views under videos.
The truth is that nothing you share will ever get as many views as that BuzzFeed quiz about which Game of Thrones character you are. Actually, the accumulation of all the views you get in your lifetime will probably never be as popular as any one Tasty video.
Facebook later confirmed that the bug only affected its mobile site and was quick to resolve the issue. The view counts no longer appear on user posts but we did get a glimpse of how relative the visibility of content is on the social network.
Verge reporter Nick Statt shared how his non-public commentary related to a Doritos article racked up almost four million views while Facebook’s Facebook page (how about that for a mindbender) post about promoting global internet access reached only 75,000 views even though the page has over 160 million likes. The disparity sounds outrageous, but then again it likely reflects society’s real interests.
It’s safe to say that Facebook has no future intentions of displaying view counts on user posts and certainly for good reason (#stalkeralert). And it doesn’t have to, since we as a public have already accepted the fact that we feed content into Facebook’s black box of algorithms and let it do its work.
In fact, a Stanford study shows that your post will only reach about 35% percent of your friends. The view counts will probably be more disappointing than inspiring, so it’s probably best hidden so as to preserve people’s self-esteem.
Companies and media organizations have been battling the problem of trying to reach bigger audiences for years and many have invested heavily in growing their number of page likes. However, it seems that only Facebook knows the secret ingredients that go into the News Feed. That’s until the next bug bites and we find out how insignificant we really are.

So far, only seven of Kurai's soldiers, Raxus included, had returned to Flux, but the important thing was keeping Zephyr Heights under control. At least the quality of the food and drink had improved so far.
This was the scene Kurai and Khao, weary from new motherhood, returned to, and were greeted almost ecstatically. Raxus immediately gave a report on the takeover of Zephyr Heights, and grinned as his mistress praised him.
However, Kurai was distracted; having made one sacrifice, there was another she had to make. Almost absently, she gave Raxus leave to do as he pleased for the rest of the afternoon, brushing off the news of Arcan until later.

Almost as though a greater power timed it, the gates of Flux open at that moment, allowing a single rider to exit through the gate. If one has keen enough eyesight, they will notice that he has smoke colored wings on his back, just like Arcan.

Arcan looks towards the gates with a stirring of interest, having lost his curiosity once he saw them and how little the activity there was around it. Now that he saw who rode through, he gave a loud yip of surprise and ran forward. "Tev! Tev!! Tevran!!!"

The figure on the horse paused and looked up curiously at Arcan and thrust a hand out, throwing a fireball at Arcan to barely miss him. "You will cease your charge and state your business. This is your only warning."

Arcan yelped again, falling to his knees. He shivered and looked up at the figure with wide, shocked eyes. "Tev, it's me, Arcan! I've been looking all over for you! I thought you were dead!"

Tevran stared at Arcan curiously for a moment before his expression becomes neutral. "I do not know who this Tevran is or why you look for him. I am Wildfire and I have no interest in your search. Begone from me now."

"T-t-tevran," Arcan whimpered, and moved forward, crawled on his hands and knees, wings flat and tips dragging in the dirt as he looked beggingly up at Tevran. All boldness, brashness, and hostility was momentarily banished from the Outcast Warrior as he abased himself before he beloved kin. "Please.. Tev.. Please... Don't do this to me, I was so worried."

(Only actually identified him as Tevran for the sake of others OOC)
Wildfire looked down at Arcan and for a second, his face took on a sad look and he opened his mouth before suddenly his face twists in a mix of hatred and pain before pulling on the horse's bit to make it rear up and lands it's hooves right next to Arcan. "Do not trouble me any longer!" Wildfire growls at him while breathing heavily. "Or your blood will be added to the mortar of Morilanta." With that he kicks the sides of the horse and takes off, just narrowly missing trampling Arcan.

Arcan remained on the ground, shaking. He lowered his head until his forehead touched the ground and allowed himself a rare few tears before he tore the emotion up within him, turning it, as he did with so much, as only fuel for his inner fire. With a cry of anguish he flew into a rage. There was very little around except for the army to attack, but he wasn't so far gone as to pull off something so suicidal. Finding an emaciated skeleton of a tree, he attacked with a fury, clawing with his sharpened nails, gnawed on a limb, and set it alight in a great blaze before he finally spent himself and sank back to the ground, panting, sweating, and cursing.

Meanwhile, a new person was nosing around the camp from the southwest side. Andromeda did her best to remain fairly hidden as she crept closer to Kurai's camp, investigating.

Kurai was not much of a telepath; she could not influence the minds of others well at all. Her telepathy was geared towards guarding her own consciousness. But it was no difficult thing to touch an infant's mind and will it to sleep.
Kurai took off her left gauntlet and pricked the skin of her wrist, near the scar she had blackened with soot in the healing ointment she had employed years ago. Five drops of blood, only five, landed on the sleeping babe, and the Mind lifted her arms to the sky.
"Force of Chaos, Force of Change,
Force of Madness, powers range,
I call for you to hear my plea:
Take the gift and leave me free
With power enough to take this land
And lead it into Evil's hand.
Darkness rise!
Let this world fall!
Help me find the strength
To do it all!
Blood of an innocent, all for you, Lord Soahc, just as your brother, Lord Taed, gained the blood of this one's sibling."
And Kurai brought the blade down.

Andromeda watched this ritual and shuddered, revulsion squirming in her gut like a vile worm.
Did I ever look at these rituals and not flinch? she thought to herself. Was I ever so bloody as this one?
Her thoughts disturbing her, she started to move off until her eyes spotted Arcan, sulking and cursing under the ruin of the tree. She gave a startled gasp and, stealth abandoned, rose up and dashed for him. "Oh! Arcan!!"
Arcan's head snapped up. "Mom?" He picked himself up, and went to greet his tearful mother, the two embracing tightly.
"Where are we?" she asked. He shrugged and pointed towards Kurai.
"Her army," he said by way of explanation. Andromeda flattened her wings a little fearfully against her back and looked back at the one she'd condemned.

"I'd like to know what you are doing sneaking around my altar, woman," Kurai said frigidly, having left her ritual to follow the gasp she had heard. Hand on her hip, touching her signs together, she "yanked" Arcan and Andromeda a couple of feet towards her. "What is your business here?"

Andromeda clutched Arcan tighter, giving a low growl.
"Mother please," Arcan whispered against her.
She forced herself to relax. "I was hunting for my sons and my mate. I found one of them." She stroked Arcan's hair. "This is all I wanted. We will go."
"No," Arcan said suddenly. "I mean... I would like to find Father.. but Tevran can rot in hell."
He just shook his head, and mumbled, "I'll tell you later."
Frowning, Andromeda shrugged and said, "Then I guess we are staying, and are at your disposal until such time that I decide to pick up my hunt again."

Kurai lifted an eyebrow. "So arrogant," she said coolly. "What if I don't want you around?" The blades in her gauntlets were deployed and she examined them almost casually. "I could drive you both out to soothe my temper; I don't take people spying on my rituals lightly. Or," Kurai flicked her blades' points towards the ground, "if you knelt and asked for shelter politely, I might let you stay."

Asked what qualities she possesses that will make her a good president that aren’t evident on the campaign trail, Hillary Clinton tells Ezra Klein that "a lot of governing is the slow, hard boring of hard boards."
The line is an allusion to the conclusion of Max Weber’s celebrated century-old essay Politics as a Vocation (the standard translation says "politics is a strong and slow boring of hard boards," which amounts to the same thing), a brilliant comparison of 19th-century political history in the US, UK, and Germany that also serves very much as an apologia for many of the aspects of Clinton’s persona that make her unlovable.
Related Understanding Hillary: Why the Clinton America sees isn’t the Clinton colleagues know
Weber writes of the seasoned professional party operative: "He is completely unprincipled in attitude and asks merely: What will capture votes?" And he means it in a good way!
More broadly, Weber’s essay offers a systematic defense of a Clintonian approach to politics, one that's more transactional than inspirational, in contrast to the alternatives offered by Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, and even Barack Obama.
Professionals versus parvenues
What Weber says we should truly fear is not the self-interested professional but the would-be leader consumed by "a quite vulgar vanity," which is "the deadly enemy of all matter-of-fact devotion to a cause, and of all distance, in this case of distance toward one’s self."
Vanity, argues Weber, is a forgivable sin in most lines of work but a deadly one in politics, because politics necessarily entails a quest for power. Hence a political system risks turning up a type of character that certainly sounds reminiscent of Donald Trump:
Vanity, the need personally to stand in the foreground as clearly as possible, strongly tempts the politician to commit one or both of these sins. This is more truly the case as the demagogue is compelled to count upon "effect." He therefore is constantly in danger of becoming an actor as well as taking lightly the responsibility for the outcome of his actions and of being concerned merely with the "impression" he makes. His lack of objectivity tempts him to strive for the glamorous semblance of power rather than for actual power. His irresponsibility, however, suggests that he enjoy power merely for power's sake without a substantive purpose. Although, or rather just because, power is the unavoidable means, and striving for power is one of the driving forces of all politics, there is no more harmful distortion of political force than the parvenu-like braggart with power, and the vain self-reflection in the feeling of power, and in general every worship of power per se.
To Weber, in a series of riffs that would likely delight Clinton, it is not necessary or even particularly desirable that politicians be honest or transparent at all times, or even to abjure profiting personally from political office. What is vital is that they be serious about what they are doing. The Trumpian parvenue is abhorrent because he seeks power recklessly, saying and doing things merely to attract attention and power without regard for consequence.
The ethic of responsibility
The same essay also offers an implicit response to many of the criticisms leveled against Clinton by Bernie Sanders over the course of the campaign. Politics, says Weber, requires a particular mode of ethical conduct suited to its unique demands — what he calls an ethic of responsibility.
The ethic of responsibility is first and foremost focused on the practical impact of the political leader’s stances.
He contrasts this with an ethic of ultimate ends that focuses more on the righteousness of the positions taken. Weber writes that you could show a left-winger who adheres to an ethic of ultimate ends "that his action will result in increasing the opportunities of reaction, in increasing the oppression of his class, and obstructing its ascent — and you will not make the slightest impression upon him."
By contrast, says Weber, "a man who believes in an ethic of responsibility takes account of precisely the average deficiencies of people."
Weber clearly did not have this specific example in mind, but the ethic of responsibility is the sort of ethic that might lead a person to embrace the Defense of Marriage Act in order to keep a broadly pro-LGBTQ political regime in office and then flip-flop on the issue only once public opinion had evolved.
But it can work in the other ideological direction as well. The ethic of responsibility could lead a former secretary of state to somewhat implausibly disavow a Trans-Pacific Partnership she was involved in negotiating, if that’s the best way to keep anti-globalization backlash from getting entirely out of control.
Steadfastness of heart
Perhaps most surprisingly, the very end of Weber’s essay — the part Clinton quoted directly — can be read as in some respects a mild rebuke of Barack Obama.
Weber analogizes politics to the process of drilling a hole through a very hard piece of wood. It’s incredibly annoying, and it’s critical not to become discouraged. He writes that "man would not have attained the possible unless time and again he had reached out for the impossible" but that typically what happens when you reach out for the impossible is you simply fail.
To succeed, one must arm oneself "with that steadfastness of heart which can brave even the crumbling of all hopes."
Clinton tells Klein that times of great peril and opportunity arise in politics and "you have to seize those moments, and I think President Obama did that" at the beginning of his administration. But she gently suggests that after the initial rush wore off, Obama may have become excessively daunted by the partisan onslaught:
But I think you’ve got to try to push forward as many different issues as you can all at the same time, because you never know what’s going to turn the tide. So I just think it’s that getting up every day and working on it. It is not flashy, and you don’t telegraph everything you’re doing because that would be breaching the relationship and the negotiation you may be involved in.
I certainly saw my husband do that, and he did it with people who were trying to destroy him every single day. He’d meet with him at night; they’d hammer out deals; they would negotiate over very difficult things; they’d shut the government down; he’d veto them; they’d come back.
You just keep going.
This is considerably less appealing — but perhaps more realistic — than a standard political promise to "bring people together" and transcend polarization. Clinton offers not a post-partisan reverie but the dawning of a new era of hypocrisy that will recall the days when congressional Republicans could denounce the president as a criminal worthy of impeachment by day and hammer out a children’s health insurance expansion with him by night.
Weber writes that "only he" — or, perhaps, she — "who in the face of all this can say 'In spite of all!' has the calling for politics."

What is best online pet meds store in Canada of U.S? - Pet forum for dogs cats and humans - Pets.ca
What is best online pet meds store in Canada of U.S?
Hi I am in quebec and looking for petmed place online a reliable honest place in Canada or U.S?
I am looking for 1 or 2 meds like heartworm,flea and tick solution vets sell everytime at this time of year.Seems to go up 25% every year, real thieves. Any help appreciated. Thks
Hi budboybudboy77
I'll let others with direct experience provide specific suggestions - but, not long ago, a well-known Vet blogger posted an article on how to assess the professional credentials of online pharmacies. You might want to file this away for future reference: http://www.petmd.com/blogs/fullyvett...V#.UMnsvKywV7l
Hi Budboy! I have used this company before and found they are great! I haven't ordered what your looking for but my experience has been good!
Would love to see some new pics!!
I have used the same place as Winston, above. It is a real, bricks and mortar, drugstore that I have gone to in person as well as ordered on-line.
I didn't check the link on how to assess such places but I did do extensive research several years ago before deciding on Petpharm. In the course of looking I did find a suspicious operation in Winnipeg and alerted the Health of Animals people in Manitoba. The place was claiming an empty, abandoned warehouse as their mailing address and was using someone claiming to be Veterinarian who was not licensed to practice in Manitoba. I never found out if he even was a Vet and I never found out the outcome other than that place no longer pops up on internet searches. Not in that guise anyway.
Many big pharma have sections on their websites that show you how to look out for counterfeit or stale dated product. Be careful, do your research.
THks for replies ,I'll check above site out.What about 1800petmeds.com?
I'll try to get some new pics soon.Thks
I have used Petcarerx and petmeds.com. You just have to make sure you know your prices, some meds I can buy from my vet cheaper.

My Random Pictures: July 2014
Blakesburg, Iowa Reunion
Here are some random photos of the Blakesburg High reunion that was held during the weekend of June 28, 2014. Blakesburg, Iowa doesn't have a high school any more, but there are still plenty of graduates who come back to celebrate every year.
I haven't edited these, though I would if I were going to use them somewhere else. Lighting conditions were not the best for the indoor shots. They are all raw shots taken that weekend. I only removed a couple due to redundancy, otherwise, this is what was taken. The event was held at Brooklyn's Steakhouse in Blakesburg, with a lunch the following morning at the local community center. There also are a few shots from the surrounding area.
The weekend was a piece of pure Americana. You would meet someone who would casually mention that they were were 70, then point across the room and add, "And my mom is over there." There were lots of classic picnic baskets at the lunch the next morning like you see in pictures of Little Red Riding Hood.
I'm not going to give names except in a couple of cases. Everybody interested should know who everyone is, and others don't need to know.
The general scene. It was a scene, man.
This has kind of an artsy look that I like
Prayers were led by Harold Eugene Johnson, in the white shirt seated in the middle. I am told that he was a POW for years during Vietnam, now a Minister. He was lost in a F105F on April 30, 1967 after flying 93 missions for the 357th TFS, then incarcerated until the general prisoner release in March 1973. Born in Blakesburg.
The Presbyterian Church has been there for about 150 years.
The corn in Iowa is about twice as high as in Colorado
There's a butterfly wandering around, thus the three shots. See if you can spot him.
The flags were at half-mast that day for some reason
Hard to see, but that's an old windmill support out in the field. That whole area used to be cleared and farmed back in the day, but no longer.
These are pictures of Wellman School, an old one-room Iowa schoolhouse. Gerald White, busy holding up that light pole, attended it in the mid-1930s.

An amusing mix I put together a few years back, thought I'd share it via Spotify. The songs are built around a familiar vamp on an either 2- or 3-chord progression. The Velvet Underground rocked the riff for over 17 minutes on "Sister Ray" back in 1968; Jonathan Richman and his Modern Lovers simplified it and sped it up for "Roadrunner" (recorded around 1972, finally released around 1976); and Wire slowed it down to a dirge-lake pace for the atypically grinding "Strange" on their 1977 debut.
The rest of the songs here all use variations of that basic motif. I also threw in a few covers (lots of versions of "Roadrunner" out there). Alas, the limitations of Spotify forced me to omit a few songs from my original CD mix -- Amy Rigby's fantastic "That Tone Of Voice," and the Feelies' "Doin' It Again" -- but otherwise it's pretty comprehensive.
Would love to hear suggestions on songs I overlooked for an expanded deluxe edition.
Some videos, perhaps?

Toys 'R' Us comes under fire for selling 'breaking bad' line | World | Thanh Nien Daily
World Toys 'R' Us comes under fire for selling 'breaking bad' line
Toys 'R' Us comes under fire for selling 'breaking bad' line
Wednesday, October 22, 2014 10:11 Email Print
The Breaking Bad product line, made by Mezco Toyz LLC, features characters from the popular show, a drama about a chemistry teacher who turns into a drug kingpin that aired on AMC until last year.
That's a Florida mother's response to a new line of "Breaking Bad" action figures selling at Toys "R" Us Inc. She's gathered more than 7,500 signatures for a petition to remove the toys, which come with gun and drug accessories.
The product line, made by Mezco Toyz LLC, features characters from the popular show, a drama about a chemistry teacher who turns into a drug kingpin that aired on AMC until last year. It includes a $30 figure of Walter White, the main character, holding a gun and a bag of cash and crystal meth.
The chain's decision to sell the action figures alongside children's toys "is a dangerous deviation from their family friendly values," said Susan Schrivjer, who posted the petition on Change.org under the name Susan Myers of Fort Myers, Florida.
As the petition gains supporters, the "Breaking Bad" figures have disappeared from the Toys "R" Us website. A customer-service representative said the toys are still available at stores, though. Kathleen Waugh, a spokeswoman for the Wayne, New Jersey-based retailer, didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
''Breaking Bad'' action figures at a Toys ''R'' Us store in Woodland Park, New Jersey.
With the controversy growing, individual stores are opting to remove the toys from shelves. A salesperson from a Toys "R" Us in Queens, New York, said the product line was pulled yesterday after parent complaints. The toys had been located in a section that featured more adult-oriented products, including figures from "The Walking Dead" series.
'Expect unexpected'
Mezco, based in Queens, sells other figures from popular TV shows, including "South Park" and "Family Guy." The closely held company was founded about 15 years ago by Michael "Mez" Markowitz.
"Always expect the unexpected from Mezco Toyz," the company says on its website. Mezco declined to comment on the "Breaking Bad" controversy.
Comments on the Change.org petition site castigated Toys "R" Us for poor judgment.
"You have a choice of what to sell and a responsibility to families and children since your primary target is children," Carol Mordi of Snohomish, Washington, wrote on the website.
"Come on, DRUGS aren't something you PLAY with," said Robert Malloy of Buffalo, New York.
The Facebook page of Toys "R" Us, meanwhile, had both pro and con responses. While Pam Mattern suggested the company "get rid of the meth dolls and fire the moron who approved them," others said that shoppers could simply bypass them.
Bryan Cranston, the star of the series, also weighed in on the "Breaking Bad" toy controversy. "I'm so mad," he wrote on Twitter. "I'm burning my Florida Mom action figure in protest.".
"If you remove the Breaking Bad toys from your stores then next you will have to remove any toy responsible for a negative act," Nicholas Arbia wrote on the page. "Then soon kids all over the world will be able to buy Batman, but not The Joker.''

You would like to repeat the experience. Flow is intrinsically rewarding, something you would like to replicate. In a 2005 study, presented at the Northeastern Recreation Research Symposium, researchers reported that 60% of people hiking the full length of the Appalachian Trail reported experiencing flow, usually on a daily basis, and more than 80% expressed a desire to hike the trail again. In rating the things they enjoyed, the hikers said they enjoyed the experience and activity itself, as well as using their skills. In contrast, external factors, such as competition with others and the prestige of completing the trail, were rated dead last in what made the experience enjoyable.
Flow experiences, researchers have found, occur when there is a balance between the challenge of an activity and the skill you have in performing it. For an adult, playing a child’s card game that requires no real skill is not likely to be a flow experience, but playing the next level on a video game that you have partially mastered may be. When your skill is high but the challenge is low, boredom is the likely result.
Set the challenge too high, though, by undertaking something that is way beyond your skill, and you’re out of the flow again. Flow is more likely to happen when you’re playing a well-matched opponent, practicing a piano piece just a bit harder than the last one, or driving unfamiliar terrain in a car you feel confident controlling.
Enhancing your ability to experience flow in multiple domains can lead to greater happiness. You can’t force flow, but you can invite it to occur more often, even in areas of life where it might seem unlikely.

In the 1990’s, the field of psychology was beginning to question its foundational Freudian view of mental health. Freud believed that to be mentally healthy one was to demonstrate the absence of disordered thinking. For example, if you do NOT suffer from depression or anxiety then you were deemed to be mentally healthy. In direct opposition to this decades’ long notion, the work of Dr. Martin Seligman, a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, and his colleagues, began a new theory of psychology that fosters positive emotional states, thus creating the field of Positive Psychology (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000).
Positive Psychology is the scientific study of the strengths that enable individuals and communities to thrive. The field is founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play (2018 https://ppc.sas.upenn.edu/). This is achieved through coupling the repair of disordered thinking with the development of skills and habits of positive emotion, as many of us have never learned or seemingly lost the ability to experience things like joy, gratitude, pride, love, and awe. It goes way beyond the concept of happiness and is about truly cultivating meaning, purpose, relationships, accomplishment, and engagement in one’s life. The influence of positive psychology has been broad, reaching into our primary and higher education worlds to create the concept of Positive Education and into the corporate infrastructure to create Positive Institutions. So why not Positive Healthcare?
Perhaps, based on the belief that health is much more than the absence of disease, Positive Healthcare is the forging of processes and structures toward the creation of an environment for the healing AND flourishing of patients, communities and the clinicians serving them. Wouldn’t that be something?

5. Rags - Top 5 Uses for Your Scraps of Old Fabric | HowStuffWorks
There's no need to buy new cleaning cloths when you can make them from old clothes.
iStockphoto/Danila Krylov
Why buy expensive cleaning rags at the store when you can make them free of charge at home? Think about it -- those nice store-bought rags will lose their color after a few rounds in the kitchen sink anyway. Cutting worn out clothing into cleaning rags is a simple, eco-friendly way to save a bit of green and improve the way you clean.
To begin, lay the clothing flat and cut off any extremities such as straps or sleeves so that you have a large rectangle or square of fabric. Then, mark every 12 inches (30 cm) down the length of the fabric with a sewing crayon or permanent marker. Fabric squares measuring 12 by 12 inches (30 by 30 cm) will work well for most household cleaning projects. Snip the fabric in the marked places. Then, pinching on either side of the snip with your forefinger and thumb, tear in straight lines by pulling the fabric [source: Heida].
For absorbent rags that won't leave a trail of fuzz when you clean, choose clothing made from thick flannel, cotton or other lint-free materials [source: Jane].
Not all rags need the power of absorbency, though. Sometimes, a nice lightweight rag is necessary for dusting. This is where a threadbare T-shirt will come in handy. Thinner materials also work well for polishing furniture or buffing metal [source: Heida].
To make your rags more durable, hem the edges to keep them from fraying. Simply fold each edge over twice and iron it flat so that the fold stays in place. Then, use a sewing machine to sew down the center of each fold.
But let's say you have plenty of rags. You want a craft project that's a bit more challenging -- or maybe you just have a lot of old scraps to use. Read on.

MATLAB is a high-level technical computing language and interactive environment for algorithm development, data visualisation, data analysis, and numeric computation. Using the MATLAB product, you can solve technical computing problems faster than with traditional programming languages, such as C, C++, and Fortran.
You can use MATLAB in a wide range of applications, including signal and image processing, communications, control design, test and measurement, financial modelling and analysis, and computational biology. Add-on toolboxes (collections of special-purpose MATLAB functions, available separately) extend the MATLAB environment to solve particular classes of problems in these application areas.
MATLAB provides a number of features for documenting and sharing your work. You can integrate your MATLAB code with other languages and applications, and distribute your MATLAB algorithms and applications. Features include:
High-level language for technical computing
Development environment for managing code, files, and data
Interactive tools for iterative exploration, design, and problem solving
Mathematical functions for linear algebra, statistics, Fourier analysis, filtering, optimisation, and numerical integration
2-D and 3-D graphics functions for visualising data
Tools for building custom graphical user interfaces
Functions for integrating MATLAB based algorithms with external applications and languages, such as C, C++, Fortran, Java, COM, and Microsoft Excel
The MATLAB System
The MATLAB system consists of these main parts:
Desktop Tools and Development Environment
This part of MATLAB is the set of tools and facilities that help you use and become more productive with MATLAB functions and files. Many of these tools are graphical user interfaces. It includes: the MATLAB desktop and Command Window, an editor and debugger, a code analyser, and browsers for viewing help, the workspace, and folders.
Mathematical Function Library
This library is a vast collection of computational algorithms ranging from elementary functions, like sum, sine, cosine, and complex arithmetic, to more sophisticated functions like matrix inverse, matrix eigenvalues, Bessel functions, and fast Fourier transforms.
The Language
The MATLAB language is a high-level matrix/array language with control flow statements, functions, data structures, input/output, and object-oriented programming features. It allows both “programming in the small” to rapidly create quick programs you do not intend to reuse. You can also do “programming in the large” to create complex application programs intended for reuse.
Graphics
MATLAB has extensive facilities for displaying vectors and matrices as graphs, as well as annotating and printing these graphs. It includes high-level functions for two-dimensional and three-dimensional data visualisation, image processing, animation, and presentation graphics. It also includes low-level functions that allow you to fully customise the appearance of graphics as well as to build complete graphical user interfaces on your MATLAB applications.
External Interfaces
The external interfaces library allows you to write C/C++ and Fortran programs that interact with MATLAB. It includes facilities for calling routines from MATLAB (dynamic linking), for calling MATLAB as a computational engine, and for reading and writing MAT-files.
Building on MATLAB
MathWorks offers a huge number of other software packages that can be used to extend MATLAB in order to increase functionality. The following diagram shows relationship between MATLAB and the other software packages available.
Getting Started with MATLAB
In time we will aim to write a guide on how to install and use MATLAB. Meanwhile here is a good introduction video to get you started.

Growing Latino Economic and Political Power "Trumps" GOP Presidential Candidate
Posted by Wendy Feliz | Jun 30, 2015 | Elections
When Donald Trump threw his hat into the ring for the GOP Presidential nomination, he made some of the most racist and offensive remarks ever made by a modern-day Presidential candidate, calling Mexican's "rapists" and criminals.
In making these charged remarks he ignored a critical new reality in modern American politics: the road to the White House goes directly through Latino neighborhoods. His campaign also forgot the lessons of Mitt Romney's failed bid for the White House which included tone-deaf calls for Latinos to sign up for "self-deportation" and essentially handed 71 percent of the Latino vote to President Obama in 2012.
Yet, Trump went further and deeper in his anti-Latino rhetoric and, in doing so, instantaneously alienated some 54 million Latinos—64 percent of whom are of Mexican origin—who call the United States home. In addition, he turned his back on the 25.2 million eligible Latino voters, a group that has grown by 3.9 million since 2010.
NBC's decision is not only a testament to the growing political power of America's Latino community but also a smart business decision. Businesses understand the importance of Latino consumers. In 2014, the purchasing power of Latinos totaled $1.3 trillion (a 495 percent increase since 1990) and it is projected to reach $1.7 trillion by 2019, according to the Selig Center for Economic Growth at the University of Georgia. NBC is making the correct moral, as well as economic choice of standing with "54 million Latinos who deserve the dignity of not being called "rapists" or "murderers"…who deserve the grace for fair and accurate representation." This was a no-brainer for NBC and is a lesson for those who would disparage this important bloc of voters and consumers.

lisa b wellness: Vegetable Barley-Rice Soup
Vegetable Barley-Rice Soup
This simple vegetable barley-rice soup is reminiscent of the very substantial and deliciously complex mushroom barley soups which were a staple in the kitchens of my mother and grandmother; brown rice and miso paste were unknown to them but their soups were thickened with lots of potato and barley and flavored by the smokey foresty flavors of imported dried Russian mushrooms. This recipe is simply a combination of vegetable miso soup and cooked barley-rice (mugimeshi). The vegetable soup requires only minutes to prepare; then add as much mugimeshi as desired. Of course, any other cooked grain which you happen to have on hand may be used in the same way. (See previous posts for miso soup and barley-rice recipes).
2-1/2 cups fresh water
1 tablespoon leek, sliced
1 cup cooked mugimeshi (barley-rice)
Combine water and vegetables in a small soup pot. Cover and bring to a gentle simmer; cook on a low flame until vegetables are tender. (About 5 minutes). Add mugimeshi and simmer another 2 or 3 minutes. Dissolve miso paste in a small bowl with some soup broth, add to pot, and warm for another minute without boiling. Serve in a pre-heated bowl. Optional: Garnish with a few drops of lemon juice or umeboshi vinegar.

Eastern Kentucky University student organizations
Find info concerning Eastern Kentucky University student organizations, and registering for discussion sections and departmental electives. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. In-person class registration has largely been replaced with online sign-up, and many schools offer mobile apps that streamline the course registration process. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Eastern Kentucky University student life information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Eastern Kentucky University.
It isn't necessary to take a leadership position in a student organization on campus, in order to enjoy contributing to student life at your school. Sure, you have to live somewhere, but spending your freshman year in the dorms can give you the added benefit of making friends and establishing a social circle. Consider signing up for a meal plan, and gaining 10 pounds in the dining hall. Again, the purpose is to socialize and meet other students outside the classroom. Beyond consideration for Eastern Kentucky University student organizations, you may think about Reedley College test requirements for complementary electives to your primary course of study.
Technical programs are a low-cost alternative to attending a regular four-year university, and you may earn good money as a highly-skilled, technical specialist. By staying true to your career interests, your lifetime job earnings will increase as you gain experience. If you're already employed in a technical field, you may consider Southern Methodist University chemical engineering courses as an option to advance your career. Massive open online courses are known as MOOCs, utilizing interactive platforms such as Blackboard, and mobile apps. For example, Khan Academy now offers free distance education served through YouTube videos. Then there's Warren County Community College aerospace engineering curriculum, with enrolled students from around the world.
Admissions offices require an official transcript documenting the classes you have completed. Further, virtually all accredited colleges and universities require students to take either the SAT Test or ACT Exam. It's better to study an hour a day for several months leading up to a college entrance exam rather than attempting to cram vocabulary and math practice into just a few weeks. The 4-hour SAT test contains three sections, namely writing, critical reading, and mathematics. Most of the questions are multiple-choice, although there is an essay writing section. The ACT measures what you've learned in school, as opposed to the SAT, which focuses more on reasoning ability. The ACT consists of four multiple-choice tests: English, reading, mathematics, and science. If your college requires a writing test, you can take the ACT+ Writing. Other college admissions information sources, like Seminole State College of Florida self-directed study, promote the use of standardized tests in admissions decisions because of the differences in course requirements, high school GPA, and grade curve difficulty among US schools. You can also explore St Cloud State University AP courses, in order to further target your academic interests.
High school grades are the most important admissions factor in getting accepted to the college of your choice, along with letters of recommendation and standardized test scores. According to data on Metropolitan State College of Denver certificate programs online pages, an outstanding academic record consists of a high GPA in courses of increasing difficulty. Almost half of colleges use placement tests and a waiting list, and most community colleges have transfer agreements in place with bachelor's degree programs at four-year colleges and universities. You should compare Oklahoma Wesleyan University exchange program with other schools that you're considering.
Apply to several colleges and universities at the same time, and if you have the grades and test scores, give yourself a chance to gain admission to an accredited major program by doing something outstanding in either high school or community college. Eastern Kentucky University applications may be submitted by using the contact form at the top of this page. It may be possible to complete some of your degree requirements online, thereby saving money on tuition costs and course fees. It isn't difficult to find articles in US News & World Report magazine written about Central Lakes College enrollment data. An advanced degree will stick with you for a lifetime, so apply yourself and work hard for a few years, graduating from the best college that you can get into.

The different, the textured, the colour | Blog Article
One of the many exhilarating things about working in a school is that although schools are built on routine, the good ones – and especially the great ones – also have the different, the textured, the colour, the fun if you like. This might be a romantic view, and it's certainly true that some schools can ill afford such things, but don't we love it when something a bit different happens: an off-topic moment, a trip, an activity. All of the stuff we didn't get during Covid. And like a muscle unused for two years, one we are hopefully getting back up to full strength.
Three such moments (and we should all regularly have them, by the way – and we as a school should look to promote them): Lower First and First Form Sports day first. A superb, sunny afternoon, with just the right blend of efficient professionalism and, yes, fun. Not an easy blend to get right: good athletes would be impatient and irritated if we went all sack-race-everyone-wins about it, but we all need to enjoy it, so jolly commentary and refreshments are definitely on. Loads of parents, hopefully happy: super.
Within minutes I was at the IB Group 4 Projects. The other end of the scale in a way: Lower Sixth Formers had spent two days on open-ended investigations, all on the theme of Pirate Science: testing the potential of different animals to displace the parrot, finding the best formula for gunpowder and the best fruit for combating scurvy, testing stability in salt and non-salt water. Serious stuff and powerfully intellectual. But fun. Definitely fun.
And this last weekend, a Saturday of 24 cricket matches, much of the afternoon was occupied for me by watching a splendid, spirited 2nd XI, a spirited but hectic 3rd XI and a simply gripping Under 15 B game which was almost non-stop action, impressive, crazy at times … fun.
I said we should (and do) promote such things. But not over-plan them either. It's the variety of occasion – match, trip or even lecture – and the unexpectedness that, well, colours routine. We need routine, of course we do, but we need colour and texture too. Call it fun if you like.

Basic Accomodation at a Basic Price
The motel is not "across the street from a landfill." There is a landfill about a half mile away and you can't see it from the motel. In front (to the south) of the motel there's a McDonalds and, across the street, a somewhat pricey convenience store. The EconoLodge to the right of the convenience store has a bar in case you're feeling thirsty. If you happen to be without a car (probably not a lot of people without a car even end up here because it's a six-mile, $20 with tip cab ride from the center of Springfield), these are your two food options. The McDonalds is open until 11 p.m., and the drive-thu until midnight. After that you're stuck with the convenience store (there is a restaurant called the 50's Diner attached to the convenience store, as well as a truck stop, but I wouldn't recommend this dining option).
To the west of the motel there's an industrial/back-office park, to the east a parking lot full of FedEx trucks. However, if you want a pleasant walk, Chicopee State Park borders the motel's northern property line. Despite the nearby highway and the industrial neighbors, the predominant mood of the motel's surroundings is rural (or at least it seems so to an urbanite such as myself).
As for the rooms themselves, there's not much to say. My most recent stay here was during a slow period with most of the rooms empty, so maybe they gave me one of the rooms that was in better shape than most. It was a smoking room but I only noticed the odor for about five seconds before I grew used to it and could no longer perceive it. The bed was neatly made, all the bedding perfectly fine. My wife didn't like that the toilet had no cover (a ring, but no cover). I thought it was just one less place for germs to hide. Overall, the toilet was fine and perfectly clean.
One criticism, the shower has some kind of water-saving plumbing. It is not possible to adjust the strength of the water flow. You can make it colder or hotter, but not stronger or weaker. Then again, the room was $56 for two including tax so you can't really fault them for economizing.
There is, of course, no free breakfast at this rate. There is free black coffee, free powdered coffee additive, and free sugar. If you want milk, you have to buy it at the convenience store. Considering that milk at the convenience store costs $2.09 for a gallon (milk is almost always on sale cheap somewhere), I don't see why they can't be at least a tiny bit civilized and offer milk with the coffee.
The coffee is only available until 10 a.m. (didn't find out when it starts). However, when I was there recently at Thanksgiving, when I got to the office at about 10:20 and the coffee was out, the manager went in back and filled my cup from her own coffee maker. That was a nice touch. Don't know if they'd do that at busy times or if all the employees there would do something generous like that, but it was most appreciated.
It is true that at times this motel has housed welfare recipients. Most likely the local government rents these rooms when there's a shortage of available permanent housing for folks who need it. During past visits to the hotel when the welfare recipients were there, I had absolutely no problem with them. In fact, I had no interaction with them. They pretty much kept to themselves.
The TV has basic cable channels plus HBO. The heating unit worked perfectly and was well attached to the wall with no gaps (after having stayed at this hotel several times over the past few years, I have yet to find a heating/cooling unit not firmly attached to the wall). There's free ice so, despite the lack of a refrigerator, you can improvise one from your ice bucket. A microwave is a little tougher to improvise and would be a nice touch. If you want to cook anything in the room bring your own cooker.

We had a reservation but did not stay here!
We had booked a reservation here, I was hoping it was a newly renovated Motel 6 as the reviews I found were old. Well the hotel rooms are clean they do not smell clean- the first one they gave us reeked of cigarette smoke even though it was non-smoking, so the 2nd one we went to smelled of old wet dog, and on our way to the 2nd room we seen one room with the window smashed out of it and the room completely trashed. There were also some 'shady' characters hanging around the premises. When we checked out the second room we looked in the phone book and phoned a different hotel for the night. we just didn't feel safe here. I would only recommend this hotel if you had no sense of smell and were a big burly person who is up for defending themselves if needed.....
Ask Traveller-NS about Motel 6 Springfield - Chicopee
I have had good experiences with Motel 6 in the past and found them to be reasonably priced and clean. However the opposite was true in Chicopee. My room was filthy with hair in the bed and carpeting that had not been vacuumed in a long time. The desk clerk was surly and definitely not welcoming to a tired traveler. Had I not been so exhausted after a long day on the road, I would have asked for a refund after viewing the room. Avoid this motel!

First and foremost, DON’T PANIC. I cannot remember how many times I have seen somebody (myself included) do something completely idiotic and often times irreversible because they didn’t take the time to think things through. For example, wanting SO badly to get the database mounted again before anybody notices that you don’t do the MOST important step when recovering any data, making a backup and working off of the backed up copy rather than your live data.
That being said, here are the steps to take when disaster hits and your Exchange server is not cooperating.
Grab any uncommitted log files. I will explain later in this article on determining which log files have been committed and which have not. You may also want to grab committed log files because if you need to go to an older backup of your database, these can be played back to bring the database up to date.
By default the data files and log files are stored in the <exchange directory>MDBDATA folder but can be split over 2 different drives.
I highly recommend backing 2 separate backup copies of your data, at least one of which is stored on a completely different physical drive, computer or storage device.
Find out what the problem is that is preventing Exchange to function by checking the application and system event logs. Copy any events related to Exchange to a notepad document or write them down.
Check for any other serious errors in the logs that could point to an issue possibly related (hard drive going bad, virus, etc…)
Check to make sure there is enough hard drive space. A hard drive filling up can corrupt your database if there is not enough room to grow it.
It will also tell you which log files are needed to bring it to a Clean state on the “Log Required” line.
If your problem is because of faulty hardware, inadequate drive space, a virus / malware, or something else external to Exchange, resolve that first.
I actually forego this step in most cases and only use it as a last resort as it CAN lose data from your database, but it can bring a database to a mountable state. Use at your own risk!
If you have a recent backup, sometimes this may be a better option than trying to fix a corrupted database, because there is almost always some data loss when fixing a corrupted data file.
If you have located an old backup AND you have ALL logs files from then until now, the log files can be replayed into it to bring it up to date. If any logs are missing or corrupt, this may not be a viable option.
If all other recovery options fail, it may be time to enlist the help of outside sources. Only you can put a value on what your data is worth to you and if it is feasible to hire (or purchase) outside help to restore your server back to normal.
Well that’s it for now. This is NOT a comprehensive list, just a few pointers that are often overlooked. If you need any help with an Exchange issue, you can email [email protected]

Buying Guide for Business Casual Blouses
Updated Jan 11, 2022, 5:07 pm EDT | 7 min read
Blouses are popular and beloved pieces in many women's wardrobes, thanks to their versatility. They come in a wide variety of cuts and colors, meaning that no matter a woman's body type or sense of style, there is sure to be a blouse that suits her.
Why buy a business casual blouse?
Blouses are loose-fitting shirts that are a little fancier than casual t-shirts. They can pull over, zipper up the back, or button up; as they have the looser fit, they're considered a blouse. Blouses are appropriate for casual, everyday situations or meetings at the office. They look great layered underneath a cardigan, jacket, blazer, or denim jacket. They can be plain or feature fun, feminine details like bows and ties, ruffles, and embroidery. Blouses can have long or short sleeves and are available in just about every fabric, color, pattern, and print known to humankind. This means that blouses can be worn year-round, regardless of the season or weather. With all the variety available, blouses are staple pieces in almost everyone's wardrobe.
What should you look for in a business casual blouse?
Style: There are quite a few different types of blouses from which to choose. Some popular styles include button-ups, peasant blouses, wrap blouses, and baby doll blouses, just to name a few. Button downs are great for a neat, put-together look, whether in the workplace with a nice blazer or paired with your favorite jeans. Peasant blouses are ideal for an extra-flowy look. Wrap blouses fold around the stomach and are tied into place for a flattering style. Baby doll blouses give a high, empire-style waist. Consider if you'd prefer one of these styles or something else altogether.
Sleeves: In addition to the blouse itself, you have a lot of variety in the type of sleeves you want. You can find long-sleeved, short-sleeved, and sleeveless blouses. There are also blouses with 3/4 or half sleeves, which may be cuffed or banded. Belled sleeves are wide and flowy around your arm. Cap sleeves, bishop sleeves, and batwing sleeves are some other classic sleeve shapes you can find in blouses. If you want a bolder, more modern look, a blouse with cutout or asymmetrical sleeves may be your preferred choice.
Material: When picking a blouse, keep an eye on the material that it is made out of and how heavy or light you want the blouse to be. Also consider how easy the fabric will be to care for and whether it's machine washable. A cloth like cotton is generally machine washable and dryable as well as soft and comfortable, though it may not be heavy enough for your purposes. Polyester and other synthetic fabrics tend to be durable and easy to care for, but they can sometimes cause irritation in those with sensitive skin. Silk and satin are beautiful, elegant fabrics, but they will require a lot more care than other materials and may be more expensive. Linen is highly breathable and has moisture-wicking properties, but it's prone to wrinkling. It's worth considering the benefits of a blouse's material before you buy it.
What can you expect to spend on a business casual blouse?
Not only are business casual blouses versatile due to their lightweight and breathable material, but they're also incredibly affordable! There are many stylish business casual blouses with modern design elements for $30 or less. However, if you want high-end options that will last a long time, you can spend $100 or more on a nice blouse.
A lovely and lightweight blouse with a curved hem, rounded neckline, and cap sleeves.
Pros: This classic blouse will pull on easily over your head, and the polyester fabric gives you a loose, flowy fit, though not a stretchy one. Sizes range from small up to 4XL. Short, capped sleeves, a curved hem, and a single button on the back round out the look. You have the choice of 25 colors, so you're sure to find a blouse that'll fit perfectly into your wardrobe, and they're so affordable that you can buy several of them.
Cons: It creases and wrinkles rather easily.
Bottom Line: This timeless blouse can be paired with jeans for daily wear or with a skirt and a nice blazer for the office. Thanks to the gently rounded neckline and pleats, it's simple but sophisticated.
Youtalia Women's Chiffon Printed Casual Blouse
This classic chiffon blouse features an elegant v-neck to highlight your collarbone.
Pros: This high-quality, lightweight chiffon blouse is nicer than a regular t-shirt but not so fancy that it'll look out of place for a run to the grocery store. The fabric is lightweight and breathable but not transparent and can be worn year-round. It's loose-fitting, and the split v-neck, three-quarter length sleeves, and rounded hemline will pair well with jeans or shorts. Sizing starts at small and runs up to XXL with over 20 different color and pattern options. It's also machine washable.
Cons: The fabric has no stretch, and many find it has a boxy fit.
Bottom Line: This tunic blouse is great for running errands, relaxing at home, or simply going about your daily day-to-day life. This blouse comes in bold patterns for those looking to make a statement, and the v-neck is great for showing off necklaces.
ECOWISH Women's Casual Tops
This chic button-down blouse offers soft stretch for easy wearability and beautiful prints for style.
Pros: Made of polyester with a touch of cotton for stretchiness and comfort, this button-down blouse has attractive design features that will flatter any body type. The v-neckline can be adjusted to whichever depth you choose based on the buttons left open, while the cuffed sleeves give it a jaunty look that is still professional enough to wear to work. You can choose between 26 patterns that range from bright tones to subtle shades and everything in between. Sizing runs from small to 3XL.
Cons: This shirt is a bit sheer, so you may have to layer a camisole underneath for office wear. It also runs a bit small, so it may not be ideal for those with larger busts.
Bottom Line: Button-down shirts are one of those styles that look good with just about anything, from jeans to khakis to shorts to leggings and skirts. They can be dressed up for dates or the office or dressed down for daily wear or vacation. If you're looking to add a button-down blouse to your closet, this leopard print long-sleeved number is an excellent option.
Romwe Women's Elegant Printed Long Sleeve Workwear Blouse
A lovely floral print blouse that's sure to become a staple in your everyday wardrobe.
Pros: Affordable and lightweight, this mock-neck blouse is both comfortable and classy. It features long sleeves that are fitted at the wrists, which gives a flattering shape to the arm. It also has a small key-hole cut out design at the back for a subtle hint of skin. Whether you prefer a solid color or patterns, there is sure to be a design that suits your personal style, as this blouse comes in almost 40 different colors and prints! The diverse sizing runs between XS and 4XL so that no matter your body type, there will be a size that fits you comfortably.
Cons: This blouse is a bit sheer, so you may need to layer a camisole underneath it for office wear. It also runs small, so you may need to go up one or two sizes to get the looser fit.
Bottom Line: Vintage elegance meets modern, feminine, and preppy in this floral blouse. Made of breathable polyester, this blouse is loose, soft, comfortable, and feather-light. The mock neck gives the blouse a classic look, while the long sleeves add to the modern yet sophisticated feel.
Neineiwu Women's Casual Scoop Neck Chiffon Blouse

Pros: If you're bored with your current rotation of outfits and want to freshen up your wardrobe, this blouse is an excellent option. The three-quarter length bell sleeves with subtle ruffles give this relaxed-fit blouse a one-of-a-kind look. The blouse's scoop neckline will also look flattering on any body type. Thanks to the flowy design, this versatile blouse will look great for business and everyday wear, parties and holidays, on dates, and in the classroom. It can be worn all year, and it's available in 21 different solid colors or patterns if you love it so much you want it in multiple colors. Sizing starts at small and goes up to XXL.
Cons: It wrinkles easily, and sizing can be a little inconsistent.
Bottom Line: This simple yet elegant blouse makes a great addition to almost any woman's wardrobe. The flowy sleeves give a romantic drape along the arm, and the scoop neckline is great for showing off your jewelry! The soft chiffon material makes it easy to wear, and the high-quality underlining provides full coverage, so it's a blouse that's perfect for the office!
Blouses have long been a staple of women's professional and casual clothing. They pair great with slacks, skirts, and blazers and can be a fun way to add a pop of color to your office outfits while still maintaining a professional look. Due to the lightweight breathability of business casual blouses, they're easy to layer under jackets during the colder months or worn on their own in warmer weather. You can also transform them by pairing them with a bold red lip, a pencil skirt, and platform boots for a night out on the town. The styling possibilities are almost endless with a great business casual blouse!

Have you ever underestimated or overestimated your residential landscaping budget? No one really likes the ‘B’ word. No matter how much planning is involved, you or your contractor might be faced with the fact that not enough money was allocated to a certain part of the plan.
NHere’s what you can do to ensure your 2016 residential landscaping projects stay on budget.
Things Cost More These Days
Just because something cost $500 the last time you undertook a major landscaping renovation doesn’t mean it will be the same now. The cost of materials and labour goes up, just like everything else, over time.
It’s best to get a few estimates and average them out to see where your budget is heading.
Think Long Term
It may be tempting to stay focused on what you need right now, but predicting future needs will pay off big time.
You may only need to switch out a few annuals right now, but what if you could spend more on a full installation of drought resistant plants that will look just as good, but last longer and require less water to maintain?
Spending a little more now on a more thoughtful installation could save you a lot over the next 10 years.
What About Irrigation?
New plants and designs often come with new watering needs. If drought resistance isn’t your way, clever irrigation planning can help balance your costs.
Direct drip irrigation can cut your watering waste significantly. In fact, an efficient irrigation system can take care of your entire property for a summer with less water than a sprinkler uses in a month.
Irrigation is a smart investment, and far from a frivolous luxury.
Don’t Ignore the Necessities
Sometimes we forget some of the most necessary items when we budget. Make 2016 different and remember the following easily overlooked items:
Detention and retention pond maintenance: Unless you want runoff issues because of your beautiful water feature, you need to make detention and retention pond maintenance a part of your budget plans.
Large tree care: Older, larger trees require more maintenance and service time than newly installed plants. They will require more pruning and care, but are worth every dollar.
Plant replacement: Eventually, your plants will need to be replaced. If you leave them too long, they will begin to look tired and unhealthy. Leave some room in your budget to maintain the appearance and health of your plants.
Irrigation maintenance: Watering systems will make your project more efficient but only if they function properly. Make sure you’ve got space in your budget to go toward regular maintenance, repairs and upgrades.
Prioritize Focal Points
This varies depending on your long-range plans are for the landscaping project. It’s a great idea to create a list that orders what’s most important to you so you can allocate money and help your landscaper meet your needs.
Our professional team is exceptionally accurate when building project plans and laying out the budget required for each service. If you don’t want to have to watch over your landscape contractor’s shoulder, we’re your best choice.
Contact Mountview Landscaping today to find out how we can help you maintain peace of mind during your all your residential landscaping projects.

Thanks to our R&D team, working close with our Underwriting and plan design teams, Petersen International Underwriters now can look at income from:
Executives of publicly traded companies often are provided Stock Options as a significant portion of their income. Let’s look at Virginia M. Rometty, Chairman, President and CEO of IBM. In 2013, Ms. Rometty’s income was $13,203,889. The break down was $1,500,000 as income and $11,703,889 in Stock Options. Based upon traditional disability underwriting, the maximum disability protection was $81,250 per month in benefits! Sounds great right?
While we may not fully appreciate the benefit shortfall because of the sizable number, remember that larger incomes spend, percentagewise, the same! Bigger home, more expensive cars, insurance premiums, etc. are all much larger. Believe it or not, in this example, Ms. Rometty is grossly underinsured for income protection!
The Stock Option Disability Insurance Plan is a long-term, own-occupation product designed to financially indemnify those who regularly receive compensation in the form of corporate stock options in case of career-ending disablement. Benefits are paid in a lump sum equating up to five times the monetary annual average of the last three years of stock option awards.
Noone is impervious to a long term disability, including top executives. Disabilities strike without prejudice and have affected many former top executives including:
Call PIU today at (800)345-8816 for benefit illustrations and to find out more about this one-of-a-kind opportunity to acquire disability income protection for all sources of your client’s wealth and compensation.
We are proud to announce that Petersen International has been recognized by the Surplus Line Association of California as one of only five firms transacting insurance business in the state of California with less than 1% of filing errors in 2014.
I love this kit Marisa and I really like this neautral colour palette with its splash of spring green. Thank you.
We are looking for a competitive Field Sales Representative to develop sales strategies and attract new clients. The successful salesperson will source new sales opportunities and close sales to achieve goals. The successful candidate will play a key...
We have job opportunity for Filed Sales Executive, one of our client at Surat, Gujrat, interested candidate please please email your resume.

The UK culture sector woke up to some good news today, with a Government announcement of a ‘world-leading’ £1.57 billion rescue package, set to benefit thousands of organisations suffering the financial impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The funding of arts organisations has never been more relevant. With world-famous cultural institutions, such as Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, warning of the threat of insolvency, it is evident that many organisations across the sector face the threat of ‘ruinous losses‘, as the Chair of the National Campaign for the Arts (NCA) suggested last month when he announced the publication of a most insightful report on the financial health of the sector.
The report, published by the NCA in partnership with the Creative Industries Federation and King’s College London, provides what it calls “a health check of the arts” – an Arts Index. This Index tracks the changes in how cultural institutions have been funded over the past decade (it covers the period from 2007-2018). Since 2009/10, public investment in the arts from the Treasury, the National Lottery and local government has fallen by 35%. The reduction in local government was 43% (from 2008/9). In comparison, earned income by revenue-funded arts organisations rose by 47% (since 2007/8). The apparent increasing reliance on earned income will affect how well museums and galleries can respond to the current pandemic, in which the opportunities to generate such revenue are much diminished.
The rise in the combined reserves of revenue-funded arts organisations was not evenly spread, meaning that, whilst some institutions might have funds to fall back on, others will not. Additionally, it has been noted that museums with diverse income streams have fared better in the current crisis. Large amounts of emergency funding have been made available from public sources such as Arts Council England, the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF), and Historic England. Interestingly, the pandemic seems to have led to a shift away from funding specific projects to unrestricted funding. The need for financial flexibility in the museum sector has been seen in the United States also, although this has been in the context of the use of existing funds rather than new funding endeavours. Whether the shift in favour of unrestricted funding in the UK will outlast the pandemic remains to be seen.
At a recent webinar, hosted by the Art Newspaper, four museum directors discussed the topic “How can museums recover after Covid-19?”, with an emphasis on the importance of funding. Given the international nature of the participants, an interesting picture of different national approaches to museum funding was presented. For example, Tristram Hunt, Director of the V&A in London, explained that 50% of the museum’s annual turnover is made up of income from Government funding, whilst the other half is generated through commercial activities. When commercial income is so heavily relied upon, the financial impact of lockdown and museum closure is evident. Given that entry fees are not charged, Hunt noted that re-opening alone will not assist the financial recovery of the museum. Conversely, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Director of the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea in Turin, explained that a higher proportion of the museum’s income is from Government sources and that the Italian Government has a constitutional obligation to take care of national culture. The webinar also highlighted the interconnectedness of the arts sector, noting the need to support the entire ecology of the arts community. This need is exemplified by the fact that many museum funders may be reliant on the arts industry for their income. Going forward, according to Zoé Whitley, Director of the Chisenhale Gallery in London, museums are going to have to learn how to “do less with less”, focusing on the museum’s core mission.

Financial support for the museum sector has been directed to a number of particular areas in recent years. One such area is digital development. Needless to say, the ability of museums and galleries to produce digital content for remote access during lockdown has been essential to their efforts to remain relevant and retain pubic interest and support. Thus, the conditions engendered by the pandemic have highlighted the need for continued investment in this area of work. The NLHF, the largest dedicated funder of UK heritage, had already outlined in its Strategic Funding Framework 2019-2024 that it would encourage organisations to “embed digital thinking in every project”. Some examples of this kind of investment, and its benefits, have already been seen. The Understanding Landscapes project, started by the University of Exeter in 2017 and funded by the NLHF, has enabled volunteers to uncover dozens of unknown Roman settlements and roads by studying detailed topographical scans at home. Despite the enthusiasm for the digital over the past months, as Tristram Hunt noted in the Art Newspaper’s webinar, the “power of the object” and the “wonder of the place” cannot be easily substituted.
Another area of focus has been the funding of regional institutions. There has been criticism of the spread of public funding across the UK, noting the difficulties faced by smaller, regional museums. Nonetheless, there have been some bright spots for museums in the regions, including, for example, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport’s Cultural Development Fund which offered £20 million for towns and cities outside of London to invest in cultural initiatives. The NLHF has combined these two focus areas with its Digital Confidence Fund. This aims to grow the digital skills and confidence of organisations in thirteen key areas, all of which are outside of central London.
Continuing financial support for museums and other cultural organisations as they make their tentative first steps out of lockdown will be crucial. The opening of the National Gallery this week is good news, and others will likely follow soon, but it will doubtless take considerable time for museums and galleries to return to business as usual, resuming the full panoply of their revenue-generating operations. It is hoped that the broad package of Government support announced today will safeguard the sector adequately in the meantime.

Commissioners to 2017 General Assembly chose neither the narrow path nor the wide avenue on the issue of human sexuality, opting instead to take a rocky road.
A decision on whether to allow ministers to immediately bless same-sex marriages and begin the process to redefine marital union was deferred. A strong majority of commissioners, after several hours of debate, voted to put off a vote on recommendations 11-15 of the joint report of the Committee on Church Doctrine (CDC) and the Life and Mission Agency (LMA) until the CDC's "final report on this matter has been received and that the General Assembly, in its wisdom, has made a decision regarding The Presbyterian Church in Canada's doctrine concerning same-sex relationships."
However, the PCC's lower courts, congregations and colleges will be asked to study and report on two weighty theological documents, one advancing the current stance that marriage is between a man and a woman, the other calling for marriage to be defined as two people. Perhaps as a parting blow in response to the deferral, a smaller majority of commissioners added two additional reports for study, both leaning liberal: the LMA report responding to the overtures on human sexuality and a paper entitled "The church and people who are transgendered and intersex."
In addition, the church is being asked to consider the document "Where from here?" – which asks for direction on which course to take on the issue: status quo, wholesale change or allowing individual minsters and congregations to choose on their own. The report also invites other suggestions.
Assembly thus set the course for a twisting and turning journey over the next seven months, sending five documents on the sexuality issue to congregations, colleges and lower courts for study and reporting by the end of January 2018.
The only firm decision was to finally enact a process to repent on past acts of hatred against those in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, questioning and intersex communities. The initiative will see steps taken to create a space for the LGBTQI people to tell their stories, draft a response and identify "concrete actions" to remedy the situation and report back within three years. It's intended to fulfill a section of the 1994 General Assembly statement of human sexuality which was never acted upon.
A related issue, gracious dismissal, received wide consensus. For the third year in a row, Assembly received several overtures seeking the right of congregations to leave the PCC with their buildings. The requests came from sessions and presbyteries representing both sides of the human sexuality debate. As it was the year before, the official response from the church was lukewarm. However, very early in the assembly, commissioners agreed to strike an immediate committee to form terms of reference for a special initiative to address the issue. Those terms were approved unanimously. Among the issues to consider: the ongoing wounds that resulted from the congregations which left in 1925 to create the United Church of Canada, the regulatory framework that currently prohibits congregations from leaving the denomination with their buildings and the potential harm to the PCC and the wisdom of allowing gracious dismissal to take place prior to a final decision on sexuality.
The debate over human sexuality revealed more than a theological divide in the PCC. Our growing, ethnic-based congregations – Korean especially – emerged as vibrant supporters of the traditional, biblical witness, and yet overlooked by General Assembly office. Last year's document, "Body, mind and soul" was never translated into Korean. Many of those congregations have not bothered with the debate, being more focused on the actual work of the church. On a motion from the floor, assembly agreed to provide translations of the two main documents in the human sexuality debate by the end of August. (This lack of recognition of our ethnic congregations – which are among the healthiest – was ironic given the significant amount of time the PCC has spent on repenting for its part in the Indian residential school era.)
Lost in the haze was another report on an equally weighty issue: physician-assisted suicide. Commissioners received a detailed and moving pastoral report on the issue prepared by a CDC sub-committee. It was also sent down for study, with a reporting deadline of January.
The final tally: congregations are being asked to read and report on six documents by the end of January. That's a lot of reading, study, prayer, discussion and decision.
It could have been worse, in more ways than one. Had commissioners voted in favour of recommendations 14 ("That being in a same sex civil marriage shall not be a reason to bar any person from candidacy or ordination as a minister of Word and Sacraments, elder, or designation of a diaconal minister") and 15 ("Christian marriage is a union in Christ whereby two individuals, regardless of gender, become one in the sight of God") then congregations would have had two other issues to study and report within the same deadline. Judging by the overwhelming majority which voted in favour of deferral, there was no appetite for a life-and-death decision at the 2017 General Assembly.
The lack of a decision was heartbreaking to some in the liberal camp, who were noticeably frustrated. At the same time, some on the traditional side are grieving the death of a once-vibrant, biblical denomination; to them, the end is inevitable. Thus sets the stage for an eventual showdown.
Renewal Fellowship has hosted, for the past number of years, a Prayer Room during General Assembly. This reflects, since its inception thirty-five years ago, our focus on prayer for our denomination. This focus has crystallized in our "7:14" initiative, praying morning and night, claiming the promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14.
There has been a host of prayers rising to God's throne, culminating, I believe, in this Assembly. It was my privilege to be in the Renewal Fellowship Prayer Room during this Assembly, to uphold in prayer all of the commissioners, staff, committees and our moderator during the proceedings. This year's Prayer Room was located in a residence, which was very handy for anyone between sessions, and also for me. I was joined, of course, by many others off-site and a good number in the Assembly hall as well. There were Presbyterians there representing PSALT (Presbyterians Standing for Apostolic Love and Truth) and Dunamis, and their own congregations. What a blessing!
An added blessing was to join the early morning prayer times with the moderator, along with as many as twenty others, joining in one accord to pray. I was grateful for the text messages from the floor, keeping me up to speed on proceedings, and for those who dropped by to pray.
Certainly, our task is not over. The call to pray goes on! Thanks be to God for faithful men and women who know the power of prayer and who hold up the PCC in their prayers. Pray for Holy Spirit to breathe his Life into our congregations, to empower them to carry out Christ's mission on earth, to make his name known and to bring in his kingdom here, as it is in heaven.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to be at Assembly, for the people I met and talked to. Thanks be to God!

From the glamor of the 20s to the minimalism of the 90s, from oversized bows, capes, and trains to laconic bareback and shoulder dresses — this season of bridal fashion offers us many wedding dress styles to choose from. Let’s have a look at the latest wedding trends through the lens of dresses by the Victoria Soprano Group.
A trend on minimalism and the rule that “the less is more” is expressed in the latest collections of Betta La Betta. Elegant dresses with simple clean lines, structured silhouette, and a perfect fit are the main characteristics of the brand’s DNA. Comfort, modern, and laconic — they won’t lose their popularity and stylishness a great while.
Besides, Betta La Betta offers laconic trouser suits, jumpsuits, and fabulous sets of skirts and blouses. In this way, they make a tribute to the trend of alternative wedding dresses. It is a perfect choice for a modern and elegant bride who wants to show her individuality through an unusual and extravagant look. Moreover, it is a functional solution for a civil ceremony.
When we talk about Victoria Soprano’s wedding gown we imagine a truly luxurious bride in a splendid wedding dress. Femininity, elegance, and sumptuousness are the main characteristics of the latest dresses by Victoria Soprano. Here we can find a bright depiction of trend on full sleeves, ruffles, audacious low neck, bare shoulders, and deep cuts.
Inspired by the style of the 80s, a wedding dress with full sleeves is one of the main wedding fashion trends. Long or cropped, voluminous, or detachable sleeves will add solemnity even to the simplest silhouette. Ruffles are another significant element of bridal gowns in this season. Classical and girlish, they add lightness and tenderness to the general bridal outfit. When it comes to low neck and bare shoulders they add sensuality, romanticism, and delicacy. From trendy deep V-necklines to bare-back dresses, these are the main stylish elements presented by Victoria Soprano.
The latest collections of Katherina Joyce depict another popular trend in the wedding fashion industry. The glamourous mood of the Jazz Era is displayed through the bridal dresses with feathers, shining beads, and sparkling crystals. A sparkly beaded embroidery and soft silhouettes perfectly depict the popularity of vintage and retro. Stunning wedding dresses with graceful and structural silhouettes together with fabulous cuts are in charge of an atmosphere of luxury and glamor. There is no doubt that the Katherina Joyce dress is a wedding dream of millions of brides.
Choosing a wedding dress is a significant event in the life of every woman. From early childhood, each girl imagines that the very dress that she will wear on one of the most important days in her life. By choosing a wedding gown by Victoria Soprano Group there is no doubt that you will find a stylish and sophisticated bridal outfit for your special day.

We love the “what I would change about you” articles, don’t we? But what if we stopped and thought about the kind impact that’s having on our relationships. How does it feel when someone wants to change you? How do you feel when you want to change your partner?

dc.description.abstract Autonomous and semi-autonomous mobile robots have been deployed to cooperate with humans in many industrial applications. These tasks require human and robot to communicate and present information quickly and effectively. Recent human-robot interfaces usually use a setup including a camera and a projector attached to the mobile robot to project the information to the floor or to the wall during the interaction process. However, there are some limitations to these interfaces. First, using a projector for projecting information seems to be fine for an indoor application. On the contrary, it is very difficult or even impossible for users to view this source of information in outdoor contexts. This makes the current framework inappropriate for many outdoor industrial tasks. Secondly, as the projector is the only device for exchanging information between human and robot, the human-robot interacting process is insecure and people who work in the same environment can control the robot in the same manner as the main operator. Finally, the current interfaces normally use mouse, keyboard or a teach pendant to provide task information to the robot. This approach poses some difficulties if the main operator is working in an industrial context where he is supposed to wear protective equipment such as gloves or helmets which make it hard to control a mouse or to type on a keyboard. This work proposes a new interface framework for human - computer interaction in industry that can overcome the current limitations of previous works. The framework uses a laser-writer instead of a projector which is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Furthermore, the combination of see-through head-mounted display augmented reality and spatial augmented reality would provide the system a novel way to enhance the security level of exchanging information since the system now can separate the information presenting to the main user and to people working in the same environment. Finally, a novel hand-held device is incorporated to the framework which provides various input modalities for users to interact with the mobile robot. The device will allows the elimination of mouse and keyboard or teach pendants in industrial contexts. en

Mind Dump: Hello! 29,998 Views!
Hello! 29,998 Views!
It's not quite 30,000 [Update: Soon after this post, we did actually pass 30,000 views- Ed], but I was too impatient to wait! I had to do a post.
Today is Tuesday. I've been to all my new classes. I have an animation class that will be fun. The rest will be... School.
I wasn't going to post this (it's last night's 1 hour study) but Kaitlin saw it and said, "Is that Jake Gyllenhaal?" I was flattered she knew who it was!
I have a break between my first class and work today. I did some studies from Pascal's Pinterest stuff. He posts such cool junk!
I did these yesterday.
I DID THIS TODAY. Why is it important? It's because of the foot. Look at the awesome foot. Our right, his left (I drew an arrow so you could find it easily, but it's kinda aimed right in the middle)! It's just one of my favorite feet. And look at the cute little mushrooms!
Lastly, there's this song (Hail from the Past) from Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. In my opinion, it was a mediocre game. It was fun, but mediocre. But the desert song? I haven't played it since I was 16, but this song is CONSTANTLY going through my head! I know I'm sidetracked now, so it won't hurt if keep talking. Alucard's running animation in Symphony of the Night is one of my all time favs. Jonathan's running animation is pretty weak in comparison. I can't find one for you to see, sorry. But anyway, my only real recollection of Portrait of Ruin is Jonathan's running animation syncing up to that desert song. Anyway, my whole point with this dumb story is that I go running multiple times a week to keep from going insane and sometimes when I go running I sing that song in my head in time to my running. It's pretty stupid.

You're getting so freakin good with digital paint. Now I want you to paint that same picture you sketched of Scarlet Johansen. You could make her 100% recognizable now. And I love your blue sketches! Old man is especially done with skill.
Zach Heckert August 27, 2015 at 10:14 AM
MMMMMMMMMMMM I don't know about Scarlett. That picture was in black and white! I guess it could be grayscale, but I want to learn color stuff. I like people with beards. They have a high chance of being drawn.

ALICE COOK - PHYSIOTHERAPIST
The youngest of four, I grew up on a small property in rural Victoria where I developed a healthy appreciation of the outdoors and country lifestyle. I traveled interstate to undertake a Bachelor of Physiotherapy at James Cook University in Townsville, which I completed in 2014. Since then, I have worked in several different positions and completed further training including the Watson Headache Method, neuroimmune mobilisation, dry needling and acupuncture, along with other courses for specific joint dysfunction and treatment.
Over the years, I myself have enjoyed participating in a variety of sports from gymnastics to touch football and am all too familiar with the frustrations surrounding sporting injuries. I have a particular interest in hip dysfunction and rehabilitation as well, having had my own personal battle with this.
For me, physiotherapy is a way in which to provide holistic and individually tailored management of pain and injury. It is my hope that my skills as a physiotherapist will assist you in maintaining healthy, active and enjoyable lifestyles.

Used 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee For Sale at Empire Motors | VIN: 1C4RJFCT0CC154305
Everything about the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee is new and excellent. The latest Grand Cherokee rides on an all-new platform that shares certain key components with the next-generation Mercedes-Benz ML. Regardless of its modest commonality with the ML-Class, the Grand Cherokee feels like a distinctly Jeep product, offering improved levels of refinement and sophistication while retaining the key Grand Cherokee attributes of formidable off-road capabilities, rugged style and on-road competence.
The 5.7-liter Hemi V8 produces 390 horsepower. It has a broad torque band, a lovely sound, and electronic throttle control that's easy to use and precise in tricky downhill off-road situations. It is particularly good for towing or driving at higher elevations. Maximum towing rating is 7200 pounds with 4WD. There's a new super-stiff chassis with well-tuned independent front and rear suspensions that provide a comfortable ride on any surface, with solid and secure cornering. With all that said, most drivers will never venture off road, and during normal driving on paved roads, the Grand Cherokee impresses with a comfortable ride, surprising levels of grip when cornering, decent steering feel and a quiet interior, even at freeway speeds
The interior is stylish and made with high quality materials, especially the leather seats. Expanded use of soft materials and tasteful but attractive interior themes add an upscale persona to the otherwise simple and functional cabin. The new Grand Cherokee offers more interior space, especially four more inches of rear seat legroom and more cargo capacity. It's 3 inches wider for better handling and more hip room, with a wheelbase that's increased by 5 inches while overall length is only increased 1.8 inches, thanks to a reduced front overhang. Cargo volume has also expanded, with 35.1 cubic feet behind the rear seats and nearly twice that amount available with the 60/40 split rear seats folded. The Grand Cherokee make a great family vacation vehicle.

When you say the curriculum is for Clinical Mental Health Professionals, whom do you mean?Recognizing and Responding to Suicide Risk: Essential Skills for Clinicians was designed to meet the needs of:* Professional Counselors* Psychologists* Psychiatrists* Psychiatric Nurses* Substance Abuse Counselors* Social Workers* Marriage & Family Therapists* Pastoral Counselors* Other CounselorsWhat are Core Competencies and why is it important that the training is based on them?Core Competencies are the knowledge, skills, abilities, and (some would add) attitudes or perceptions required for people to be successful in their work.In the case of this curriculum, the core competencies cover the assessment, management, and treatment of suicidal clients to protect their lives and promote their well-being. There are 24 specific competencies defined by the American Association of Suicidology's Core Competencies Curriculum Committee and developed under contract from the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC).Who created these Core Competencies?The Core Competencies were developed by the American Association of Suicidology on contract to the Suicide Prevention Resource Center in 2004.The members of the Core Competencies Curriculum Committee are:Alan Berman, Ph.D.Executive DirectorAmerican Association of SuicidologyAuthor: Adolescent Suicide: Assessment and InterventionThomas E. Ellis, Psy.D.Professor of PsychologyMarshall UniversityEditor: Cognition and SuicideDavid Jobes, Ph.D.Professor of PsychologyCatholic University of AmericaAuthor: Managing Suicide RiskNadine Kaslow, Ph.D., ABPPProfessor of Emergency Medicine and PsychiatryEmory UniversityPast President: Society of Clinical Psychology (American Psychological Association Division 12)Cheryl A.

David Rudd, Ph.D.Professor of PsychologyTexas Tech UniversityAuthor: The Assessment and Management of SuicidalityShawn Shea, MDDirectorTraining Institute for Suicide Assessment and Clinical InterviewingAuthor: The Practical Art of Suicidal AssessmentRheeda L. Walker, Ph.D.University of South CarolinaWhat was the process used to decide what would be a Core Competency?The core competencies were derived through a process in which some of the most knowledgeable researchers in suicidology reviewed the academic literature and gained consensus on the essential skills and knowledge required to work with patients potentially at risk for suicide. The steps were:Literature review;Interviews with experts in clinical suicidology;Collection of benchmark core competencies and rubrics for measuring core competencies from related fields;Collection of existing relevant instructional materials; andReview of all the data by a Core Competencies Curriculum Committee which gained consensus on the competencies. The resulting competencies were integrated into a curriculum and pilot-tested with clinicians possessing differing levels of experience.What are the major topics covered in the training?The 24 core competencies have been grouped into eight overall topics that serve as the structure for the training:Attitudes and Approaches for Working with Suicidal ClientsUnderstanding SuicideCollecting Assessment InformationFormulating RiskDeveloping a Treatment and Services PlanManaging CareDocumentingUnderstanding Legal Issues Related to SuicidalityHow does the RRSR differ from the AMSR (Assessing and Managing Suicide Risk)?The American Association of Suicidology (AAS) developed the Assessing and Managing Suicide Risk (AMSR) under contract from the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC).The AMSR is a one-day, knowledge-based training that covers the 24 competencies required for effective clinical assessment and management of individuals at risk for suicide.The RRSR is a two-day, knowledge-and-skills training, based on the same competencies. The RRSR provides practice in applying this knowledge, used with permission of the SPRC, to clinical cases.The 24 core competencies are based on current empirical evidence and the opinion of a panel of clinical and research experts in assessment and management of suicide. These competencies form the basis of Assessing and Managing Suicide Risk (AMSR), a one-day training developed by the AAS for the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC). AMSR focuses on knowledge and attitudes, using skill demonstrations, discussion, and journaling throughout the course. AMSR is suitable for classes of any size. Using a two-day format with a smaller class size, RRSR augments the core AMSR content with skill rehearsal and case application exercises.

AMSR is offered through the SPRC Training Institute.

Participants who request credits are required to pay a $45 administrative fee. A certificate of completion is available at no extra cost.How do I sign up for a training?The best way to make sure there is a training convenient for you is to organize one for your organization or co-sponsor one in your area. For inquiries about scheduled trainings, contact 202-237-2280.Can I get a trainer to come give a workshop at my organization?AAS can make the training available to your organization, and can co-sponsor trainings for communities, groups, workplaces, or healthcare systems.Can we get someone on our own staff trained to train others?If you plan to conduct more than two trainings or have more than 80 staff people trained, it may be more cost-effective for you to identify your own candidate with requisite clinical experience and training skills to be trained by the AAS to deliver the trainings.The qualification for trainer consideration are as follows:Terminal degree in clinical field preferred; minimum of a least a masters level degree in a mental health profession.Currently licensed to practice (provide evidence of current licensure).Minimum of five years as a practicing clinician dealing with clients at-risk for suicide.Evidence of knowledge of clinical suicidology (assessment; risk formulation; treatment approaches; emergency/crisis intervention; management; risk management), e.g. public presentations, workshop training, publications, supervision and/or training others, etc. on the subject.Your organization would still pay a fee each time the curriculum is delivered, but having your own trainer eliminates the trainer fee and related travel costs, roughly a 50% reduction in total cost per training.How much does it cost?Pricing information can be found on the Pricing Page. To schedule a workshop, please contact: (202) 237-2280. .

This Is Season Wouldn't Have Been Any Other Way For The Jets
NFL Team: MLB: Posted 04 October 2012 - 05:12 PM
C'mon guys. It's just our luck. We trade for Tebow and the last thing the fans want to see this guy in full time and the get the nod for Sanchez. It wouldn't be any other way for Jets fans. Instead of all of the sudden Mark Sanchez playing like a freak in typical Jets luck he stinks. He stinks badly and in typical Jets fashion there would have to be a QB controversy especially in the same year we get Tebow. Of coruse it would have to be like this. It just wouldn'tbe any other way. Tebow at some point this season will be the Jets starting QB. He'll get the nod due to team desperation.
I would of rather had Rex Grossman as a back up. Probably would be starting over Mark already. Instead we bring in Tebow to run the ball in the worst version of the wild-cat I have ever seen.

How Real Estate Mobile Apps Can Save Money on Marketing - SnApp Apps
Real estate mobile apps are cost-effective options
In the last few years, there has been an increase in the appeal of mobile technology in real estate. This mainly stems from real estate professionals actually familiarizing themselves with the technology to reach a broader customer base. However, the worry of cost effectiveness still lingers on the minds of some in the industry.
"Is the cost of creating a real estate mobile app worth it?" Some may be asking themselves. And if so, what are the looming costs of marketing the app?
According to Mobile Marketing Watch, "A recent report by the Palo Alto-based mobile app marketing and retargeting firm Liftoff highlights one of the reasons why brands are often reluctant to invest in developing m-commerce apps: the high cost of customer acquisition."
Having an app boosts your engagement.
One of the main reasons real estate professionals choose a real estate mobile app for their business is because it helps increase engagement among their most valuable customers and also improves SEO. We've discussed engagement before in other posts such as "How Mobile Technology Has Changed the Real Estate Industry." It's really a no-brainer that this would play a role in mobile technology's popularity; however, when it comes to marketing your app, the ability to boost engagement can assist your marketing efforts as well.
Your mobile advertising costs go down.
A real estate mobile app not only helps increase engagement with customers and potential customers, but it can also free up resources to spend elsewhere. While word-of-mouth marketing can be extremely effective, if you're a novice to this whole tech business, many people may not have heard of you just yet. Therefore, going for the traditional marketing routes, which now includes social media marketing, can prove to be beneficial.
No upfront costs for development and/or maintenance.
This is assuming you are using a mobile app development company to aid with the creation of your real estate mobile app. Some real estate mobile app companies allow for you to convert your mobile website into a native app. This approach requires no upfront costs for development, thus saving time and money on marketing costs as well.

Which are the growth strategies considered by the players to sustain hold in the global Industrial Centrifugal Water Pump market?
Super pumped to finally win the FedEx Cup. Thank you to my team and supporters! My brother Austin, all the fans, @TaylorMadeGolf, @DJGolfSchool, @netjets, @Hublot, @adidasGolf, @RBC, @DrinkBODYARMOR.
While there were certainly blips on the radar, for the most part, the return to action was a success.
The 2019-2020 PGA Tour season ended last weekend, Dustin Johnson winning the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup title (as well as a check for $15 million) at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Anticipation is already building for the 2020-2021 season—which begins…this weekend at the Safeway Open in Northern California.
Unfortunately, the changing of the calendar doesn’t mean a shift from the hellscape that has dominated this year. The novel coronavirus is still very front and center, but golf has somehow, in some ways, thrived, with courses in Colorado and around the country, setting records for rounds played. Although they may not readily admit it, at PGA TOUR headquarters in Florida, there may also be a bit of wonderment at the idea that the circuit, one of the first sports to return to action, managed to largely get through the year without the snafus that entangled other sports like baseball.

Tehran Times Opinion Column (photos by Ali Moayedian)
TEHRAN, Sept. 10 (Mehr News Agency) -- Officials and other citizens are all in agreement that Iran's system of delivering goods to consumers is flawed in many ways.
Middlemen are taking advantage of the system. For example, farmers sell watermelons for about 700 rials (about 7 U.S. cents) per kilo but by the time it gets to the consumer, it ends up at least four times more expensive.
This system has made the Iranian market a paradise for middlemen, who gain the maximum profit from the least effort and pay the lowest rate of taxes and sometimes even use loopholes to avoid taxation altogether.
Producers and farmers say, "We do all the work but the middlemen make most of the profits."
Although the drought affecting large areas of the country and the global trend of skyrocketing food prices have been cited as causes for the dramatic rise in the price of food in Iran, the fact that goods pass through the hands of many middlemen before reaching the consumer is a more plausible explanation.
This trend has discouraged entrepreneurs from investing in job-creating activities, to the detriment of the common man.
In response to the situation, the Commerce Ministry and the municipalities have built shopping centers, but they charge such high rents for shops that the commodities are still quite expensive.
To decrease the economic burden on consumers, especially lower-income households, and to end the shenanigans of the middlemen, who are reaping mega-profits, the Commerce Ministry must take immediate action to rectify this flawed system.

Hypnosis for Losing Weight - HealthyLivingHypnosis
YOU NOW LOSE WEIGHT AND FEEL GREAT!
It is time for you to now lose weight and feel great. That's right! You have already been given the suggestion so allow it to become part of your reality. As long as you are ready and willing to lose weight, you will start doing so. This is one of the suggestions out of so many that is given while you are in hypnosis. You body reacts to your mind's way of thinking. Therefore, once the suggestion is given and repeated while in hypnosis, your mind begins to accept it as true, thus influencing your physical body.
Will you have to stop eating those foods that are unhealthy for you? NOT Necessarily.
Will you have to stop eating all those delicious, sugary desserts that you crave? NOT Necessarily.
If you want to stop eating those types of foods, then so be it. However, this is your choice, and if you would like to continue eating those types of foods, the portions can be controlled so that it doesn't affect you negatively.
Most people have tried many different weight loss techniques only to have the weight come back after some time. With hypnotherapy, you not only lose the weight over time, but you also keep it off. If there are any underlying subconscious issues causing your weight gain, that is dealt with in order to help you lose the weight and keep it off. While using hypnosis to lose weight, you lose weight within a measurable amount of time, which is much safer for your body. More importantly, the concept of your body image is worked on while in hypnosis, therefore changing your own beliefs about your body image as well.
Will you have to do rigorous exercise in order to achieve your goals? NOT Necessarily.
Exercise is recommended and it's great to keep the physical body thriving. We are physical beings as well, so it's beneficial to engage in some physical activities. Some people don't like to do regular exercise so they find creative ways to exercise through various activities like dancing, swimming, jumping rope, martial arts, etc. You can choose your own exercise routine, pacing as needed to help you achieve your goals. We make this is fun as possible to help you get those results!
Whatever your issues are when it comes to your weight, come on in for your Hypnosis session and learn to control your own weight using the power of your mind. The beauty of this is that once the weight is gone, and you learn to control it using your own mind power, it stays off!
So start now by doing this mini exercise:
Close your eyes, breathe in and out a few times thinking to yourself, relax.
Then, in your mind's eye, imagine as if you are looking in the mirror. As you look in that mirror, see the healthier you with your own ideal body weight, with your intended body image, looking back at you. Smile as you are now seeing this. Know that you are now doing what you need to do to help you to maintain this image of the healthier you.
Feel this within you as you smile once more, breathe in and take in that image of you at your ideal body weight.

For Military Citizenship Path | National Review
For Military Citizenship Path
A letter from another reader:
Love your comments on The Corner, always, but I think your sense of division on this one is misplaced. Believe it or not, a Dem strategist is occasionally capable, like the proverbial broken clock, of saying something that makes sense.
A little about me: I was an Army Field Artillery officer for four years, on active duty. I'm also a big fan of building fences on the border.
In my time, I encountered more than a few soldiers who were not U.S. citizensincluding a really good kid who was Filipino, one of the groups readily mentioned by Messrs. Boot and O'Hanlon. My Filipino soldier was eager to become a citizen, and trying to move through the process. I often reflect on my time, and feel I failed him, not doing enough to help him with this process because of the high tempo of our unit, which seemed to constantly be in the field. As I said, he was a really good kid, with regular Richie Cunningham values (in a Cavalry unit filled with guys who, like me, would put a Kennedy to shame chasing skirts and drinking booze on Friday nights). And he was a hard, by-the-book worker who would take the time to show fellow soldiers what they were doing wrong when it came to things like cleaning their chemical protective masks.
The problem of being a non-citizen hurt this soldier, though. He could not obtain a security clearance, necessary for the bulk of MOSs (Military Occupational Specialties), and in particular the more desirable ones. Consequently, he was a Chemical Corps soldierone of the least desirable jobs in the Army. But every day, he set out to do his job rightand, I think, probably would have saved quite a few lives if his unit were ever on a battlefield where chemical weapons were being deployed by the enemy.
I offer this experience as evidence that the proposal of military service in exchange for citizenship would bring in a lot of good folks, and frankly, our kind of people. These people WANT to be Americans, and they are willing to do a thankless, dangerous, dirty job where the pay is anything but great. And they'd be coming up in a culture that has a decidedly conservative outlook on the world (no matter what left-wing groups claiming to speak for soldiers and soldiers' families might say). This seems to me a solution to immigration that would, if anything, benefit the conservative movement and America as a whole.
If immigration is going to happenand it IS going to happenthen let's do everything we can to make sure we get immigrants who will make America a better place by being here.

Who would hoist Stanley Cup first for Rangers? | Montreal Gazette
Who would hoist Stanley Cup first for Rangers?
The Rangers have been without a captain since dealing Ryan Callahan to the Tampa Bay Lightning at the NHL's March trade deadline in exchange for Martin St. Louis.
The Lightning also received a first-round draft pick in 2015 and a conditional second-rounder this year in the deal. That second-round pick turned into a first-round selection in 2014 when the Rangers advanced to the Eastern Conference final against the Canadiens. If Callahan re-signs with the Lightning, the Rangers would get Tampa Bay's second-round pick in 2015 in exchange for New York's seventh-round pick.
After the trade, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault explained to reporters in New York that the Rangers would go without a captain for the rest of the season while having Brad Richards, Marc Staal and Dan Girardi all wearing an 'A' on their sweaters.
"(General mangager Glen Sather) and I were just discussing that as we were coming up here," Vigneault told reporters in New York. "We're going to leave it with three A's for the remainder of the year and then deal with that this summer."
During the Rangers-Canadiens series, Vigneault was asked again by reporters about having no captain on his team.
"I don't believe in any team you need guys to have letters to lead," the coach said. "Some guys, you know, leading is the ability to influence people. The ability to influence them to do the right thing. If you have that influence, and you have that ability, you don't need to have a 'C' or an 'A' on your sweater to do that.
"So, that being said, we've got I think quite a few guys on our team that have the ability to influence in the right way, and they do it. I mean, they listen to what we want as far as standards and what we want to be part of this culture, and they help us supply it."
One of the players Vigneault has been counting on is Richards, who was made a healthy scratch by former Rangers coach John Tortorella during last year's first-round playoff loss to the Boston Bruins. Vigneault was asked what Richards means to the Rangers' locker room now.
"I would say to you that even when Ryan was here, since Day 1, Brad has been without a doubt one of my top go-to guys," Vigneault said. "He came here with a great attitude. He came here with great work ethic. He's been a really strong role model since Day 1 since I've been here. I've really leaned on him and his experience.
"When Ryan left for Tampa, Brad was getting a very good friend (in Martin St. Louis), so he helped, obviously, build that relationship with the rest of his teammates. But since the first day this year he's been a really big part of our team on the ice and in the dressing room and off the ice."

Urban Rivals - Message Board - Strategy and Tactics: Tournaments: How Do I Get To The Top?
sunday 05/12/2010, 03:40
Even when I play a tournament and win every single match I dont get to the top. How does one get higher points so that they can make it to the top tier in the tournaments? Is there some sort of bonus for, say, using few pillz or defeating people at higher levels than yourself?
DivinOsiX Imperator Medical Decapitation Clinic
Friday 10/12/2010, 00:19
Uppers are good for tournaments. T2 Bangers aren't bad either.
Friday 10/12/2010, 20:07
You can come first with most clans, I'd go with mono Sentinal with either Hawk or Hugo (probabily Hugo) if you wanted a sentinal deck. If you want a uppers then Uppers/Ambre would be the best choice. Montana is great with Hugo so mono montana is great aswell. All stars and Uppers are a nice pair, very high in the ranks. We also have clans like Junkz that see alot of play in DTs (mainly split with uppers/sentinal) or the good old Piranas with there long lasting 25+ point games due to there pill +/- and sneaky lock/game tactics
At the end of it all its down to you, theres a nice amount of clans to choose from just pick the best for you and play as fast as you can, theres no point playing with a 'recommend' if you don't like the clan there 'recommending' you.
Friday 10/12/2010, 23:20
@Miterman PI
Vortex are a huge No-No in DT's. They require you to lose to win. This makes you lose time and that means less points.

Bob and Doug learn that the brewery's former owner, John Elsinore, has recently died under mysterious circumstances and his daughter Pam (Lynne Griffin) has been given full control of the Elsinore brewery. While exploring the massive brewery, they find a shuttered cafeteria containing an old Galactic Border Patrol video game which supernaturally reveals that Brewmeister Smith murdered John Elsinore and that Pam's bumbling Uncle Claude (Paul Dooley) was deeply involved. Also, Bob recognizes a brewery employee as one-time hockey great Jean "Rosie" LeRose (Angus MacInnes), who suffered a career-ending nervous breakdown and has fallen under Smith's control.
Eventually, Bob and Doug wander into the Brewmeister's operations room while he is away and Doug takes a floppy disk containing a video of John Elsinore's murder (thinking it is a "new wave EP" and not realizing the importance of its contents). Smith and Claude tranquilize the brothers and arrange to frame them for murder, concealing Pam and her father's friend, Henry Green, in beer kegs in the back of their sabotaged van, and instruct the brothers to deliver the kegs to a party. Unable to stop, the brothers crash the van into Lake Ontario. All survive (Pam with apparent memory loss), and the brothers are arrested.
The brothers' antics at their trial cause the judge to declare them insane and put them under Brewmeister Smith's care at the asylum. Rosie soon finds them and helps them escape, and they find and rescue Pam. Having figured out Brewmeister's plan, Rosie foments an uprising among the brainwashed mental-patient test subjects. The brothers separate for the first time in their lives; Doug helps Rosie overpower Brewmeister Smith and the spirit of John Elsinore, possessing the brewery's electrical system, fatally strikes him with lightning. Meanwhile, Smith has locked Pam and Bob in a brewery tank and is filling it with beer; they escape this possible death when Bob consumes all the beer, expanding to a cartoonish size.
John Elsinore's ghost warns them that Smith has already shipped tainted beer to Oktoberfest and urges them to stop them. The police accompany the brothers back to their house to retrieve their dog, Hosehead, to invade the party. Enticed by promises of free beer and sausages, Hosehead leaps into the air and flies over the city like Superman. He crashes into the tent at the celebration and, mistaken for a skunk, frightens people away from the tainted beer. In the end, the McKenzie Brothers save the day and Pam and Rosie find in each other true love. As for the contaminated beer, Bob and Doug are allowed to haul away the lot, apparently to try to drink it all.

Ghost Blitz: Review - Hexagamers
/ Ghost Blitz: Review
The mysterious pictures taken in the ghost's house have some errors to them. In this fast paced game you must try to figure out which items in the picture have been left out, or are completely correct. This game will test your ability to think quickly as well as your reflexes. Figure it out first and you get a point, get it wrong and your opponent gets it.

How to Play Ghost Blitz - Simplified Edition
RYAN'S GHOST BLITZ REVIEW
Very intense, very fast.
Relatively simple game, so it is accessible by almost anyone.
Really tests your brain in a way you might not have done in a long time.
Not a feature board game for your night.
If you aren't good, you might get discouraged and not like this one.
Can only play a few times before your brain needs a break.
How I was first introduced to Ghost Blitz, Charlene and Kaitlyn were insistent I play this new game they just tried. They said something along the lines "We want to see how good you are at this game because it involves quick thinking, deduction, and a bit of counter-intuitiveness… and since you are so unbelievably smart, quick witted, and good looking we thinking you'll love it."
….Ok, so I admit I don't know what my looks had to do with anything… and my memory of what was said might be a bit off… but they were right, it was right up my alley.
My Full Review of Ghost Blitz
If you haven't seen this game played, or maybe you watched it, but didn't fully get what was going on, then check out our How To Play Ghost Blitz (1 &2).
Essentially you have 5 items to choose from, each with 2 physical characteristics (it's shape and color). There is a stack of cards that will be played one at a time, some of them with 4 out of 5 of the items represented. Your goal is to quick figure out which item is not represented on the card and grab it before your opponent. Other cards have one of items represented correctly (with both it's characteristics), and you must grab that one.
Wrong.... Well kind of anyways...
This game is much more challenging to play than what is actually presented when you first lay it out. Challenging, not because it is a difficult game to understand, but more so because it will tax your brain.
There is something about the stress of having to make a quick decision in a race against your opponent that really gets your heart and brain going. This game goes from 0-60 instantly!
With each card being worth 1 point, and a limited deck, you can't afford to have a slow start. This is something I really like about the game, no build up time… Straight to the action!
In the same breath of mentioning it's all action all the time; the games don't take very long. Only a few minutes for each game. Which, again, is a good thing, especially for how intense this one is.
The game says it is for 2-8 players, but we prefer it with 2. We tried it with 2 teams and also with lots of people trying for the cards/items. Both of those versions seemed like there was way too much going on, and lowered the amount of action you would get during the short games. Don't get me wrong, they can be fun, but we just prefer the head to head variation. Might partially because of the mental break you can have when other people are playing the game.
The variety in cards is great. There is no way someone could memorize all the cards and be able to know which item is coming next. Thus giving it some good longevity on your shelf. On that same note, the way the game is designed it doesn't allow your brain to get into a comfortable groove. Some cards you are looking for the correct item, others the missing item. You will find yourself constantly changing your strategy of how to find the item the quickest way possible.
That said, sometimes it is stupidly hard for your brain to figure out which item to grab! Even after my opponent had successfully won the card, I still sat there baffled from time to time. In fact, sometimes I would just randomly guess an item in hopes of getting it right. This is another great aspect of the rules. You get it wrong, your opponent gets the point. This prevents people from just grabbing item after item until they are right.
This game is accessible by nearly anyone in that it is a concept that almost anyone would be able to understand the rules and the concept. However, if you aren't particularly quick or decisive, you might have a bad time playing this game. For some this ability comes easy, for others it can take some time and training. If you are part of the latter, you might find yourself losing lots, getting frustrated, and possibly embarrassed. If you can find someone who is around your same skill level, you can play them and still have a good time.
This is a very quick and fun little game. There isn't a lot to this game, but that is part of its beauty. You can take this anywhere if you really wanted, even camping. It is a great starter game for your games night, but most likely won't be the featured game of the night. This is a good go to game to ramp up the intensity and energy of the night if you are feeling you need to. It's a fairly cheap one to add to your shelf, plus it doesn't take up much room, so you pretty much have to buy it 😉 !
I love playing board games with my family and friends when I am not busy playing sports or working away. Check out my full Bio on the About Us page!

This paper aims at exploring effective and sustainable solutions to address the issue of beginners’ increasing demotivation to learn English as Foreign Language. The research has been designed so as to probe the role of songs in teaching English to EFL beginner learners. Literary research on songs has helped to highlight the importance of songs in teaching EFL beginners to develop communicative skills. In this regard, data are collected through a questionnaire administered to the study population made up of 65 randomly selected EFL teachers. The findings analysis shows that songs are barely used to develop learners’ language skills but rather for entertainment purposes. The ongoing research work suggests that EFL teachers should be trained on the effective use of songs in English classes. Moreover, secondary schools should be provided with songs teaching materials. Those measures appear to be vital to motivate students to learn English and develop communicative abilities.

Kids learn to ski at Squaw Kids
Ski season is in full swing in Tahoe, so it's time to make your winter plans. The Tahoe area offers options at a range of prices—from bargain basement to sheer luxury. These five resorts offer family-friendly options, including lessons for kids.
Budget-Friendly Ski Resorts and Hotels
Homewood Mountain Resort is the best of all worlds: affordable, accessible, family-friendly and comprehensive. The resort's West Shore Cafe and Inn offers "ski and stay" packages (starting at $199 per night) and is conveniently located across the street from the slopes. And Homewood has now partnered with Airbnb to make a wider range of lodging options available at all price ranges. This season at Homewood, you can ski for as little as $49 per day if you book tickets in advance. Lessons for adults beginning at $69 per day (including lift tickets and rental equipment. Kids' Lesson 3-Packs are also available for $133 per day for ages 4-12. The best part is that the days do not have to be consecutive; packages are valid through the end of the winter season in 2018. No matter where you stay, don't miss dining at West Shore Cafe right on the lake, featuring local fish and organic produce.
Sugar Bowl Resort, with its 12 lifts, 98 trails and 1,650 skiable acres has the most snow in the Tahoe area, with 500 average inches per year. If you buy lift tickets in advance, you get 50% off the daily or consecutive-day rate. Season passes are an even better deal: $349 for the entire 2017-2018 season if you purchase by December 19th. "Stay and ski" packages with lodging start at $209 per night. Kids' lessons at the new Village Kids program start at $200 for expert instruction and guaranteed small class size.
Granlibakken is a wonderful base if you want to check out multiple slopes or prefer sledding and playing in the snow to hard-score skiing and boarding. Rates start at $182 and include a generous buffet breakfast, access to a dedicated sledding hill with runs suitable for the littlest kids, and slopes just outside your door (perfect if you have your own equipment, but rentals also available).
Moderately Priced Family Ski Vacation
Squaw Valley/Alpine Meadows, voted the top ski resort in North America for a third consecutive year by USA Today, offers Super Passes customized for the number of days you're planning to ski this season, starting at $529, which gives you access to 6,000 acres across two mountains. Lessons for both adults and kids are customizable, featuring progressive learning methods and beginner-friendly equipment. Buy five group lessons for kids and get one free. Lodging rates start at $209 mid-week. Book a minimum of two nights, and kids ski free. Splurge on a meal at Plumpjack Cafe, at the base of the slopes, featuring one of the best wine lists around.
Luxury Lodging, Skiing and Lessons
The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe is a one-stop shop for luxury family ski vacations. The hotel is kid-friendly and offers the elegant services and amenities the brand is known for, with an upscale mountain lodge theme. Kids can "camp" in your room with cozy tent bedding and have time to explore without parents in tow at the Kids Club on the property. Ski right out the door of the hotel and onto Northstar's slopes, take the gondola down to Northstar Village for dinner, or dine at Manzanita, the hotel's signature fine-dining restaurant. Enroll the kids in Northstar's ski or snowboard school starting at $630 for half-day programs.

What the "socialist" government of Spain will have to say will be interesting...Well, in case they find time, Spanish FM seems way too busy trying to defend US interests abroad...
What happens, that if the protests are against a government who fits "The West" then they do not exist?
Bulgaria passes a law so that those without job qualifications cannot vote. They have done it thinking about the gypsies. This country plus Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia are ruled by the neo-fascist right. Inside the EU and outside the news.
Nah, asking "Why does Germany allow itself to be occupied by the US" was definitely an incredibly stupid question, considering that everyone knows that Germany was roundly defeated in WW1 and utterly destroyed in WW2.

Who loves riding their bike? Well, this kid does too. You can hear the pedals going round and round while you're out enjoying a leisurely bike ride with your friends, up and down hills and around and about. The right hand takes the melody while the left hand 'pedals', then they swap over so the left hand can have a turn playing the melody. Then a lovely Bb major scale to end a great day out!From my All Keyed Up Level Two book.

Cellular And Molecular Alterations Associated with Ovarian and Renal Cancer Pathophysiology
Ravneet Kaur Chhabra, University of South Florida
Fallopian tube secretory epithelial cells, Iron, Lysophosphatidic Acid, miRNA
Elucidating molecular alterations underlying tumor development and chemoresistance are critical to expand our understanding of the disease pathophysiology. This dissertation is focused on analyzing the cellular and molecular alterations associated with LPA-induced chemoresistance in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) cells and chronic iron-induced deregulation of miRNA expression in fallopian tube secretory epithelial cells (FTSECs).
Kidney cancer is one of the ten most common cancers worldwide with <15% survival rate at advanced stage (American Cancer Society). ccRCC is the most common type of kidney cancer and is described as a metabolic disease characterized by deregulated lipid metabolism leading to increased intracellular lipid droplets [9, 10]. The current molecular-targeted treatment strategies involve VEGF/VEGFR and mTOR inhibition [9, 12]. However, there are limitations to these approaches leading to the reduced efficacy and/or increased resistance in ccRCC cells [13, 14]. Therefore, it is important to decipher the factors involved in compromising the chemosensitivity in these cells.
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a bioactive phospholipid, was previously reported to increase resistance against Sunitinib (VEGFR/PDGFR inhibitor) in ccRCC cells and to increase migration and invasion in various tumors [15-17]. In Chapter 3 of this dissertation, we analyzed the role of LPA in mediating chemotherapeutic resistance in ccRCC cells by reversing the effects of an mTOR inhibitor Temsirolimus (TEMS). We further identified that LPA reverses the TEMS-induced changes in cellular viability, lipid droplets and mitochondrial networks, autophagy and PI3K/mTOR pathway markers in vitro [19]. We also observed that LPA increases lipid droplets partially in a MAPK-dependent manner [19]. Overall, these results indicate the role of LPA in inducing potential chemoresistance in ccRCC cells, which can be further explored for pre-clinical research applications in future.
Since epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is commonly diagnosed at advanced stage, it is imperative to investigate the molecular alterations associated with initiation of the disease [34-36]. HGSOC initiation from transformed fallopian tube stem cells was reported to be associated with iron addiction and deregulated iron homeostasis markers [40]. The contribution of chronic iron exposure in mediating oncogenic transformative events in FTSECs was previously studied in our lab [22]. We have extended these studies in Chapter 4 of this dissertation using a multi-omics approach to determine the global protein and miRNA alterations in chronic iron exposed FTSECs. Interestingly, ~57% of the altered miRNAs were located at chromosome 14q32 [43]. Chromosome 14q32 harbors a cluster of 54 miRNAs, which are deregulated in various tumor types, including ovarian cancer [25, 26, 422]. However, the role of iron-induced deregulation of 14q32 miRNAs in FTSECs had not been previously studied. We focused on the two most downregulated (~100-fold) 14q32 miRNAs – miR-432-5p and miR-127-3p and their common protein targets. We identified that overexpression of miR-432-5p reduced cell numbers induced by long-term iron exposure in FTSECs. We also identified that combinatorial treatment with methyltransferase and deacetylation inhibitors reversed the expression of miR-432-5p and miR-127-3p, suggesting that chronic iron treatment downregulates miRNA expression via epigenetic alterations.
Additionally, miR-138-5p was also downregulated in chronic iron exposed FTSECs. This miRNA is located at chromosome 3 (which also harbors EVI1, a common transcriptional activator in EOC). We identified a potential EVI1 binding site in miR-138 promoter region and therefore analyzed whether miR-138 transcription is regulated by EVI1. Although our studies indicated that miR-138-5p is regulated independently of EVI1, TERT RNA was found to be partially regulated by miR-138-5p [43]. Overall, this study reveals global molecular alterations induced by iron, potentially associated with transformation of FTSECs.
Collectively, these studies suggest the involvement of LPA in reversing ccRCC chemosensitivity and highlight the potential role of iron-induced 14q32 miRNA downregulation in FTSEC transformation. In future, a detailed study of the mechanism involved in LPA-mediated chemoresistance, and the role and regulation of miRNAs at 14q32 will expand our understanding of their functional consequences, which will also prove useful to design clinically improved therapeutic strategies.
