An E-1 is a visa for a foreign national of a “treaty trader” country, coming to the US to carry on substantial trade occurring principally between the US and the foreigner’s country of nationality. This visa may also be obtained by key employees of the business. Key considerations include: i) whether the foreigner is a national for a country that has an E-1 trade treaty, ii) that the business is 50% owned by foreigners of the treaty country, iii) that the foreigner is either a 50% owner or a key employee of the company, iv) that and that the company’s trade is “substantial.”
If the foreign national’s country is not on this list of Treaty Country, then E1 Visa is not an option.
While an owner who owns at least 50% of the US business is eligible for E1 Visa, “key employees” are also eligible. A key employee must prove that they are either an “essential skills” worker whose skills are essential to the trading enterprise or key executives.

Luminate Partnership – Love Music
We have run two projects in partnership with Luminate, Scotland's creative ageing organisation. This aim of these projects was to provide access to high quality participative music making for older people who are isolated from mainstream cultural access.
2015 – Instant Choir
In autumn 2015 we developed some of the ideas and practice which stemmed from our 2014 Falkirk Cabaret (see below for details). Instant Choir took place in Edinburgh's Jubilee House care home and consisted of 6 weekly singing sessions. The final session was a celebratory run-through of all 7 songs we'd learned, with friends and family in attendance. The 12 residents who took part were aged from 70 to 101, and had varying levels of dementia and frailty.
The song choices included familiar songs (Scots songs, songs from musicals & films) alongside less well known material (including songs made popular by Nina Simone, Bob Marley and The Platters). We also tackled song suggestions which came out of conversations over cups of tea after the sessions, including the favourite song of one resident, "Rock Island Line", complete with washboard accompaniment and a joint effort retelling the spoken introductory story at the beginning of the song, to great amusement for all! We sung it so fast that one chorister joked that she almost lost her teeth!
Two elements we developed in this project were the inclusion of 'singing buddies' and a focus on working with the home's Activity Coordinator to develop her own work leading singing activities. Our 5 volunteer singing buddies were members of Love Music Community Choir, who sang with the residents each week, helping to form our Instant Choir. The Activity Coordinator said this was very beneficial as the added volume and support encouraged the residents to sing out. The focus on learning for the Activity Coordinator was to create a longer-lasting impact on the home, and she noted several teaching techniques which she will incorporate into her future practice. This element of the project was flexible, to build on her existing strengths and to suit her style of learning.
Inevitably, new friendships were forged over the course of the project, and we hope to continue singing, smiling and laughing with our new friends in the future.
2014 – Falkirk Cabaret
Our 2014 Luminate project was Falkirk Cabaret, with partners Falkirk Community Trust. For many who took part, the project provided a first experience of singing in a choir setting.
The format was simple and celebratory: 6 informal singing workshops over a 6-week period culminating in a large massed-choir sharing event. We balanced repertoire, introducing lesser-known songs requiring learning of words and melodies as well as some better known songs, and worked with 2 Falkirk care homes and an over 50s singing group, along with their staff and carers.
Prior to the final event we brought 51 members of 2 existing community choirs together for a one-off workshop to learn the songs we'd been exploring with the care groups. This brought a lot of energy and a much broader sense of community to the day, making it easy for core participants to contribute and feel supported vocally. The final sharing event consisted of core participants, carers, family, friends and community choir members singing together, accompanied by a professional 3-piece jazz band. There was a lot of laughter and fun, and the atmosphere and participation was extremely positive. The solo contributions from individuals from the care groups were incredibly special.

A/60/90-E/2005/80 of 27 June 2005
A/60/90
E/2005/80
Item 74 (d) of the preliminary list*
* A/60/50 and Corr.1.
** E/2005/100.
1. The present report is submitted pursuant to General Assembly resolution 59/56 of 2 December 2004, in which the Assembly requested the Secretary-General to submit to it at its sixtieth session, through the Economic and Social Council, a report on the implementation of the resolution. The reporting period was from May 2004 to April 2005.
2. Information on the living and socio-economic conditions of the Palestinian people is provided in reports prepared by other United Nations agencies and, in particular, (a) in the report of the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) on the economic and social repercussions of the Israeli occupation on the living conditions of the Palestinian people in the occupied Palestinian territory, including Jerusalem, and of the Arab population in the occupied Syrian Golan (A/59/89-E/2004/21); (b) in the annual report of the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) (A/59/13); and (c) in the report of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs entitled "Gaza on the Edge" on the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip (October 2004).
4. The Israeli disengagement plan was announced in February 2004. The initiative to withdraw from the Gaza Strip and parts of the northern West Bank was welcomed by the international community, which, however, emphasized the need for coordination with the Palestinian Authority and the Middle East Quartet, and for implementation to take place in full compliance with the provisions of the road map. The Quartet expressed its support for the initiative in its statement on 4 May 2004.
5. The United Nations continued calling for the full implementation of the road map, endorsed by Security Council resolution 1515 (2003), and the realization of a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East through the full implementation of resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), 1397 (2002) and 1515 (2003). The Organization urged the parties to utilize the disengagement plan as a first step in returning to full negotiations. Despite the unilateral character of the plan and concerns over its economic consequences, the international community worked with both parties to ensure that Israel's withdrawal would proceed in a manner that would contribute to the reinvigoration of the Palestinian economy and a revival of the peace process.
6. Following the election of Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) as Palestinian President and the formation of a new Israeli Government in January 2005, both sides took positive steps that raised hopes for change in the region. The parties held a summit meeting between President Abbas and Prime Minister Sharon in Sharm el-Sheikh on 8 February 2005. At the meeting, both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to the road map and agreed to end all violence and military activity against each other's people.
7. The implementation of the understandings reached at Sharm el-Sheikh did not proceed without difficulties and delays. Both sides frequently reaffirmed their commitment to coordinate the implementation of the Israeli disengagement plan, though progress remained slow until April 2005. In this context, in April 2005 the Quartet appointed outgoing World Bank President James Wolfensohn as its special envoy to oversee and coordinate the international community's efforts in support of the disengagement initiative, as well as to promote coordination and cooperation between the parties in this regard. The special envoy is to play a specific role in the methodology of withdrawal, the disposition of assets, and the envisaged post-withdrawal revival of the Palestinian economy, including investment and financing.
8. Overall, macroeconomic indicators for the occupied Palestinian territory showed that the economy was resilient, despite the pressures of ongoing conflict and closure. Gross domestic product growth, estimated at 3 per cent, remained positive for the second year running, though lower than in 2003. In 2004, for the first time, domestic public revenues exceeded budget projections. However, despite this positive picture, a climate of protracted social and humanitarian crisis endured through the year, punctuated by an intensification of the conflict, ongoing barrier construction and persistent fiscal crisis. Private investment, particularly in productive sectors, remained low due to an ongoing lack of confidence of potential investors in the political situation.
9. An estimated 48 per cent of Palestinians were living below the poverty line at the end of 2004, with poverty rates expected to rise if prevailing conditions persist. 1 Food insecurity declined slightly in 2003, affecting 37 per cent of Palestinians. 2 Overall, however, food consumption per capita has fallen by 25 to 30 per cent since September 2000. In general, there is greater dependence on external aid in the Gaza Strip than in the West Bank. Humanitarian assistance constituted the chief part of the household food basket in the Gaza Strip, whereas in the West Bank employment and casual labour were the main sources of household income and food.
10. Israeli restrictions on movement were a proximate cause of economic hardship among ordinary Palestinians. The restrictions became more severe in the Gaza Strip, where the conflict intensified during 2004. The Rafah crossing was closed for 86 days during the reporting period, severely disrupting the flow of people and goods to and from Gaza. The average number of daily workers in 2004 entering the Erez industrial zone dropped by 75 per cent against 2003, and the number of those crossing Erez to work in Israel dropped by 64 per cent. This decline in labour access from Gaza was a major factor in overall Palestinian unemployment, which reached 26.9 per cent in 2004. 3 At the same time, there was an increasing trend towards under-18 child labour, particularly in the Gaza Strip and the barrier-affected communities of the West Bank. 4 It is important to note, however, that the total number of workers entering Israel and crossing into the Erez industrial zone began to increase significantly as of mid-February 2005.
11. Imports from Israel, through the main commercial terminal between the Gaza Strip and Israel at Karni rose by 5 per cent, though exports dropped by 30 per cent in 2004 compared with 2003. During the first quarter of 2005, imports through Karni declined by 18 per cent and exports by 39 per cent compared with the same quarter in 2004. 5 Internal checkpoints restricted movement between the northern, central and southern parts of the Gaza Strip. The barrier, together with more than 700 roadblocks, disrupted the flow of goods and people within the West Bank, as well as to and from Israel. The Allenby bridge remained the only international crossing for West Bank Palestinians.
12. On 9 July 2004, the International Court of Justice rendered an advisory opinion pursuant to General Assembly resolution ES-10/14 of 8 December 2003. The opinion stated that the construction of the wall "constitutes breaches by Israel of several of its obligations under the applicable international humanitarian law and human rights instruments". On 20 July 2004, the General Assembly adopted resolution ES-10/15, which acknowledged the Court's advisory opinion, demanded that Israel comply with its legal obligations and called on all Member States to comply as well. The resolution also requested the Secretary-General to establish a register of barrier-related damages. The register is expected to be established later in 2005.
13. Israel continued its construction of the barrier in the West Bank, contrary to the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice of 9 July 2004 and General Assembly resolutions ES-10/13 and ES-10/15. By early 2005, the barrier was approximately 205 km long, of which 24.1 km consisted of concrete slabs and 181 km was fence-like in structure. A further 72.1 km was under construction. Approximately 157,800 acres lies between the barrier and the Green Line, affecting an estimated 93,200 Palestinians located in these areas. Land confiscations combined with access restrictions associated with the barrier were estimated to have cost Palestinians approximately $320 million in lost property and income, 1 while the barrier made Palestinian access to Israel's labour and commodity markets more difficult. 6
14. Ongoing social and economic hardship, compounded by the intensification of the conflict in some areas, meant that shifting the bulk of investments from humanitarian to development programmes was delayed for much of the reporting period. However, with favourable steps taken by both parties towards the end of 2004, several United Nations agencies gave greater attention to medium-term planning and programming, in line with the priorities set out by the Planning Ministry of the Palestinian Authority. In so doing, a number of United Nations agencies also agreed to begin harmonizing their assessment of programme requirements in the occupied Palestinian territory. A key challenge for the United Nations within the framework of its commitment to support the creation of a viable Palestinian State is to ensure increasing technical and capacity-building support for public institutions.
15. United Nations technical agencies have made significant investments in the education sector. This was led by $131 million in expenditure by UNRWA on 273 elementary and preparatory schools, which catered for some 254,000 pupils. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) provided technical assistance in specific areas including the Education for All initiative, technical and vocational education and training, early childhood education, teacher training, adult literacy, inclusive education and higher education. UNESCO financed and technically supported the first ever Education for All conference in Ramallah in April and May 2004, which launched the Palestinian Education for All national action plan currently being implemented.
16. The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) undertook a programme to promote learning in child-friendly environments. In addition to the 68 schools that were supported in 2004, 32 more have been added in 2005. The programme involves community awareness meetings and the training of 800 teachers and 100 school principals in the child-friendly school concept, with an emphasis on non-violence.
17. Investments in health care also remained a priority for specialized United Nations agencies during the reporting period. At a cost of $32 million, UNRWA continued to operate 54 health facilities providing comprehensive primary health care, supplied rehabilitation services at physiotherapy clinics in 12 of its facilities and operated one 63-bed hospital. The World Health Organization (WHO) invested $2.5 million in priority development activities in maternal and child health, communicable and non-communicable diseases, nutrition, mental health, food safety and the essential drugs list. With development investments of approximately $1.4 million, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) focused on improving the accessibility of 42 primary health-care facilities offering reproductive health services, and of 11 comprehensive care facilities. United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) efforts in the sector centred on infrastructure support for essential health clinics in remote villages, such as the recently inaugurated clinic of Hija in the Governorate of Qalquilya.
18. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime focused on the prevention of drug abuse and related HIV/AIDS. Representatives of participating non-governmental organizations from Gaza and the West Bank attended a training workshop held by the Office on Drugs and Crime in Cairo from 5 to 7 July 2004, during which they received training on effective HIV/AIDS prevention among injecting drug users, as well as on the preparation and planning of outreach programmes targeting the said users. Following the training workshop, the non-governmental organizations completed their project proposals with the assistance of an Office on Drugs and Crime consultant. The organizations subsequently received Office on Drugs and Crime seed funds amounting to $25,000 for Gaza and another $25,000 for the West Bank, to implement outreach activities aimed at the prevention of HIV/AIDS among injecting drug users.
Multi-sector development support
19. The World Bank balanced ongoing emergency efforts with a renewed focus on a medium-term development agenda. It monitored and analysed emerging socio-economic developments and donor interventions and advised the Palestinian Authority, the United Nations and the donor community on economic development priorities and strategies. The Bank's ongoing portfolio in the occupied Palestinian territory consisted of 14 projects valued at $164 million, with disbursements of over $50 million during the reporting period. Key areas of intervention included water, health care, education, social services and the private sector. The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) allocated some $5 million to improve the general housing conditions of the Palestinian people. Under its regular programme, UNDP provided some $5.8 million in infrastructure support across a wide range of social sectors.
20. Significant allocations were made to meet the needs of chronically and newly vulnerable Palestinians during the reporting period. The World Bank's $10 million social safety net project aimed at mitigating the impact of the crisis on the most vulnerable, protect poor children and strengthen the institutional capacity of the Ministry of Social Affairs. The UNRWA Relief and Social Services Programme focused on the most vulnerable refugees, recognizing also the increasing burden of poverty that falls on women. In total, $17 million was allocated through April 2005 in cash assistance and food aid. Forty-four per cent of the families now receiving support through this targeted programme are headed by women.
21. The World Food Programme (WFP) and the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) identified vulnerable non-refugee beneficiaries for targeted support in food-insecure areas. UNICEF activities covered the areas most affected by closures, demolitions, military incursions and the barrier. To ensure services to the most vulnerable, UNICEF established offices in Gaza, Hebron, Tulkarem, Nablus and Jenin. UNFPA assisted women of reproductive age from geographically isolated areas who were at risk of increased maternal mortality and morbidity, through 313 trained women volunteers in 105 community support teams. At the same time, WHO advocated for safe access to health facilities for all Palestinians.
22. The United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) focused its efforts on increasing the participation of Palestinian women in social, economic and political life, to empower them as agents of change and enable them to cope better with the effects of the crisis. In all its activities, UNIFEM encouraged compliance with international human rights standards, and in particular with the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. UNIFEM investment in these activities amounted to $100,000 for 2004.
23. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) continued its technical assistance programme in support of the rule of law and administration of justice, and in human rights education and awareness. OHCHR activities were carried out in partnership with the Palestinian Authority, the Palestinian Independent Commission for Citizens' Rights, non-governmental organizations and the education sector. Together with the Ministry of Women's Affairs, the Office conducted a workshop on the role of Palestinian women in promoting human rights.
24. UNRWA supported 102 community-based facilities targeting particularly vulnerable segments of the Palestinian refugee community, such as women, children and the disabled. The centres, which encouraged women to play a more public role in society, revealed a strong growth in management, finance and administration skills among refugee women.
25. UNESCO activities included a $110,000 project aimed at eliminating gender disparities, implemented with the Ministries of Education and Higher Education in cooperation with the Ministry of Women's Affairs. UNESCO also initiated a capacity-development programme that included a series of training workshops providing technical guidance and counselling for students in four selected girls' schools in the West Bank. An agreement was reached to establish a Palestinian women's resource centre, intended as a clearing house for information on women's issues and as a networking, advocacy and policy research centre. UNICEF also initiated a programme to promote and monitor the rights of children and women, and supported the development of a draft juvenile justice law and a draft penal code. In addition, UNICEF initiated studies on child labour, child detention and violence against children.
26. Following its Millennium Development Goals report in 2003, UNDP worked to promote the relative agenda among United Nations agencies, Palestinian groups and international partners. In addition, UNDP supported the efforts of the Ministry of Planning to align Palestinian medium-term development priorities with the Millennium Development Goals.
B. Support for Palestinian institutions
27. A critical aspect of institutional support during the reporting period was the emergency financing of the Palestinian Authority's recurrent budget costs. Salary support was a particularly high priority, given the importance of public sector salaries for individual Palestinian livelihoods and for the economy as a whole. The World Bank served as administrator for the multi-donor public financial management-reform trust fund, which as of May 2005 had disbursed over $198 million in budget support to the Palestinian Authority. Emergency disbursements represented more than 80 per cent of the total over the period. The World Bank's own operations included a number of emergency services support projects, designed to mitigate the deterioration in education, health and social welfare services by financing the goods and services necessary to sustain their delivery. The Bank's contribution of $60 million to these projects leveraged more than $115 million from other donors. The projects were critical in covering the non-wage funding gap for key social ministries.
28. In addition to budget support, some $10 million was invested by United Nations agencies in technical assistance and capacity-building activities directly benefiting the Palestinian Authority. UNDP invested over $6 million in public institutions, including the provision of direct financial and technical support for the Palestinian Central Elections Commission in the organization of the presidential elections in January 2005. In the area of environmental management, UNDP helped to establish the Palestinian Energy Centre and to introduce the first Palestinian building code, a first of its kind in the Arab world. The building code provides a blueprint for Palestinian engineers and architects to design and construct buildings that maximize the conservation of energy.
29. WHO actively participated in a health sector review led by the Ministry of Health in coordination with the European Commission, the World Bank, Italy and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. WHO supported the Ministry of Health in formulating and implementing national health policy, particularly in the areas of mental health, nutrition, food safety and essential drugs, while also assisting it to prepare an official report on the state of nutrition in the occupied Palestinian territory. WHO continued to develop and expand the "Health Inforum" information management system, which assisted decision-making during health emergency coordination meetings. WHO also supported technical exchanges on environmental and public health issues by promoting linkages between six European and six Palestinian cities.
30. Also in the health sector, UNFPA capacity-building measures included training the statistical units of five ministries in the areas of population and reproductive health, as well as technical assistance for policy and strategy development. An experts' retreat was sponsored by the Ministry of Planning in April 2004 to discuss potential population issues and policy implications for the Palestinian Authority vis-à-vis development needs. UNFPA provided training to teachers and counsellors in the public school system on issues relating to reproductive health and assisted in developing a curriculum on sexual and reproductive health education for the Ministry of Education. UNICEF provided all necessary information technology infrastructure as well as funding for the training of health staff in the implementation of a harmonized management information system between the Ministry of Health and UNRWA for the immunization programme, allowing the Palestinian Authority to have comprehensive data for all districts in the West Bank.
31. FAO contributed to the establishment of a food insecurity and vulnerability information monitoring system, hosted by the Palestinian central bureau of statistics. Beginning in 2005, the database will enable user-friendly access by stakeholders to updated, comprehensive and policy-relevant information on nutrition, food security and vulnerability. As part of its transition towards longer-term relief and recovery operations, WFP began planning structured capacity-building, increased Palestinian Authority involvement in programme implementation, and gave comprehensive technical support to the Ministries of Social Affairs and Agriculture.
32. Among its capacity-building activities, UNICEF worked with the Ministries of Education and Health to address violence in schools, in line with the intent of the International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-violence for the children of the world. Three hundred school counsellors from the Ministry of Education were trained, with over 300 still to receive training. A child-friendly schoolteachers' manual and a life skills-based education training manual were produced with the Ministry. UNESCO provided extensive technical assistance and policy and planning advice to the Ministry of Education and Higher Education in the preparation of the Ministry's second medium-term strategic plan. OHCHR worked with the Judicial Education Committee to integrate human rights into the training programme, with the Police Academies in Gaza and Jericho to build human rights into the training curriculum for law enforcement officials, and with the Ministry of Education regarding human rights education programmes.
33. In the area of culture, UNESCO helped the Ministry of Culture to develop an integrated cultural policy for the Palestinian Authority and to organize, following an interval of four years, the Sixth International Book Fair intended to increase Palestinian access to worldwide knowledge. Approximately half a million books were sold to some 100,000 visitors during the event in March 2005. UNESCO also implemented a comprehensive capacity development programme with the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities to strengthen the Ministry's ability to plan, manage and monitor cultural heritage protection. As a result of this programme, a list of Palestinian cultural and natural heritage sites has been prepared for the first time.
34. In the area of economic development, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) continued to provide the Palestinian Authority and civil society with a range of technical assistance, advisory services and capacity-building projects, covering areas such as customs administration and automation, development strategies, trade policy, investment retention, public debt management and trade facilitation. Cumulative donor commitments to UNCTAD projects between 2001-2004 have amounted to $2.2 million to date, of which over $1.5 million has been spent. The International Labour Organization (ILO) assisted Palestinian employers' and workers' organizations, and contributed to developing a fund for employment and social protection, established by presidential decree to coordinate all financial and technical assistance for employment creation. The ILO also helped the Ministry of Labour to strengthen its labour market information system and to create an employment task force. In partnership with the Ministry of Social Affairs, ILO supported the establishment in Hebron of a vocational and rehabilitation centre for people with disabilities and special needs. The amount invested in these activities by ILO was nearly $5 million.
35. In other technical areas, the International Atomic Energy Agency assisted the Palestinian Authority with agricultural pest control. A team of six from the Ministry of Agriculture continued receiving technical support in the application of isotope and radiation technologies to control and monitor the Mediterranean fruit fly population in the Gaza Strip. UN-Habitat began supporting the Palestinian Authority in urban planning and development, as well as in efforts to develop a housing policy for the occupied Palestinian territory.
36. In addition to support for public institutions, United Nations agencies continued to play a role in promoting the activities and development of civil society, particularly through partnerships with Palestinian and international non-governmental organizations. OHCHR finalized agreements with the Palestinian Independent Commission on Citizens' Rights, a Palestinian human rights institution, for a joint programme that will include capacity-building initiatives, and continued to work closely with the broader community of non-governmental organizations involved in human rights through awareness-raising activities and training on international human rights mechanisms. Through its six field coordination offices, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs was an important focal point for United Nations interaction with humanitarian non-governmental organizations.
37. While the recovery of the Palestinian economy hinges on the broader political situation and status of the internal and external closure regime, much depends on the channelling of private sector skills and resources towards growth-productive and employment-intensive sectors, such as agriculture, construction and manufacturing. Although higher bank lending rates during 2004 indicated a spontaneous renewal in private economic activity and risk taking, the recovery by the private sector witnessed in the first months of 2005 was increasingly articulated as a strategy of choice, among Palestinians and the international community, for generating economic growth during the post-disengagement period. In this context, several United Nations organizations sought to support the Palestinian private sector.
38. Prominent among these was the UNWRA microfinance programme, which disbursed some 15,000 loans valued at over $17 million to small businesses, maintaining a repayment rate of over 90 per cent. The UNDP programme for rural and economic development involved investments of some $5 million in new projects for land reclamation and integrated rural development. In addition, FAO and UNDP assisted the Ministry of Agriculture in developing an agricultural revitalization programme to promote agricultural activities throughout the occupied Palestinian territory. Within this framework, FAO began implementing a $1.5 million project to support horticulture, animal husbandry and agricultural marketing in four districts of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Also prominent were two ongoing World Bank private sector projects, including a $10 million programme to develop the Gaza industrial estates, and a $17 million Palestinian housing project.
39. The Arab-International Forum on Rehabilitation and Development in the Occupied Palestinian Territory: towards an Independent State was an important regional initiative organized by ESCWA in October 2004. The event brought together major Arab, Islamic and Western financial institutions, international organizations, Palestinian business leaders and representatives of the Palestinian Authority to explore options for future private sector growth in the occupied Palestinian territory.
40. Given the ongoing political instability and economic hardship during most of the reporting period, a large proportion of United Nations assistance to the occupied Palestinian territory was directed towards short-term, emergency responses. Operations were frequently affected by restrictions on the movement of goods and personnel. As the political situation appeared to improve in the first months of 2005, the increasing attention of donors to medium-term assistance agendas resulted in a relative decline in support for emergency programmes.
41. According to UNRWA, food support was provided to almost 30 per cent of the refugee population of the occupied Palestinian territory, i.e., 95,000 families in the West Bank and 127,000 families in the Gaza Strip. Restrictions on movement and declining donor support, however, required UNRWA to scale back its core emergency interventions, including food aid. As a result, there was a 30 per cent reduction in the nutritional value of food distributions in the West Bank.
42. WFP opened its third consecutive emergency operation in September 2004. The operation, which directed food support to 480,000 non-refugee Palestinians, was aimed mainly at supporting livelihoods and to prevent a worsening of the nutritional status of the most vulnerable Palestinians. WFP began addressing its humanitarian access problems to Gaza through purchasing 93 per cent of its food commodities locally within the Strip. In addition, WFP has injected over $10 million into the economies of Gaza and the West Bank, by local purchases of wheat flour, olive oil and other food commodities. Between 1 April 2004 and 31 March 2005, WFP delivered over 70,000 metric tonnes of food aid to almost 400,000 beneficiaries, at a total expense of $35 million.
43. FAO supported the rehabilitation of destroyed and damaged greenhouses. A $1 million emergency project included agricultural inputs and equipment, as well as numerous training courses for technicians and farmers on greenhouse construction and management and new cultivation methods.
44. The UNRWA job creation programme prioritized refugees with large families, supporting livelihoods with a remuneration of $10 to $12 per day per worker (an average of $2 per dependent per day). Employment programmes contributed to the repair of refugee camp infrastructure and the renovation of agency facilities. UNDP mobilized $58 million from Arab, Asian and Western donors for labour-intensive infrastructure projects. Of this amount, $18 million was spent on emergency employment programmes. WFP provided food-for-work and food-for-training support for 39,700 workers from recently impoverished households, benefiting some 238,000 family members.
45. Access for Palestinians to preventative and curative health services remained good overall. However, many Palestinians faced delays in access to medical treatment due to closure, and access to mental health treatment was insufficient to cope with the increase in conflict-related psychological disorders. Critically, it was estimated that households located in areas crossed by the barrier were 80 to 300 per cent more likely to experience difficulty in access to health services. Drops in income limited the ability of many households to pay for private health care. Access to hospital care for hardship social cases and Palestinians living below the poverty line was half that of those living above the poverty line.
46. UNRWA ran five mobile units in 2004, although plans to add two more in 2005 are on hold due to funding shortfalls. A total of 112,966 patients were seen in 2004 at a cost of $2 million. UNRWA also participated in a measles and vitamin A campaign, launched in collaboration with UNICEF and the Ministry of Health, during which 85,000 children below five years of age were vaccinated. UNICEF procured all necessary vaccines and vaccine-related supplies for the Palestinian Authority and UNRWA immunization clinics for 2005. In partnership with non-governmental organizations and the Palestinian Authority, UNICEF also provided emergency health kits, midwifery and obstetric kits, and generators to assist 10,000 people residing in Gaza Strip enclaves.
47. UNICEF and its non-governmental organization partners established nine psychosocial emergency teams of approximately 20 qualified professionals each, in order to address the conflict-related distress of children and their caregivers. In total, 4,700 children affected by violent incursions and house demolitions attended debriefing sessions. A further 14,600 caregivers were acquainted with techniques on how to detect signs of distress in children and to provide them with adequate support. Approximately 60,000 children were reached indirectly through this project. UNICEF also worked closely with the national Mine Action Committee in reviewing the national strategy and in training trainers for mine risk education. A media campaign was launched in the Gaza Strip after the incursions in September and October 2004, to create awareness of the dangers of unexploded ordnance. UNRWA provided psychosocial counselling to nearly 70,000 refugee children during the 2003-2004 school year.
48. A $1 million UNFPA emergency relief programme supported an obstetric care needs assessment in the areas isolated by the barrier; it involved the training of 195 health personnel and the procurement of 200 emergency kits to reduce the risks of maternal and infant mortality. WHO provided emergency coordination and distributed medical equipment, emergency health kits and other supplies.
49. In the 2003 and 2004 academic years, 272 UNRWA schools in the West Bank and Gaza were closed for a collective total of 391 days. UNRWA attempted to address the challenges to its educational programmes by conducting remedial classes. The programme was suspended in the Gaza Strip in 2003 due to funding shortfalls, but started up again in 2004 to provide services to some 33,000 students in the West Bank.
50. UNICEF spent $4 million on emergency education assistance to families during the military operations in the Gaza Strip. Approximately 20,000 children were provided with remedial worksheets, school bags and stationery items, as well as basic clothing items. Some 375 school-in-a-box kits were distributed to the most severely affected schools in Gaza, serving an estimated 30,000 students.
51. Israeli military incursions and house demolitions intensified during the reporting period. Approximately 1,350 houses were partially or completely destroyed in the Gaza Strip, affecting some 10,000 people. As a result, the United Nations increasingly focused on the immediate need to rebuild shelters and repair roads and water and sanitation systems.
52. UNRWA allocated $6 million to shelter reconstruction and repair in the Gaza Strip, and completed the construction of over 300 new homes in Khan Younis and Rafah, where 80 per cent of house demolitions have occurred. In the Gaza Strip, UNRWA also supported the repair of roads, sewage and water systems and UNRWA installations, the bulk of which was related to damage incurred in Rafah in May 2004. In the West Bank, UNRWA provided grants to individuals for emergency shelter repair, and completed the Jenin Camp Reconstruction Project, costing $27 million, in December 2004. The project included 435 new homes and related community infrastructure. Since September 2000, the total grants for shelter repair in the West Bank amounted to $3.4 million, while in the Gaza Strip $21.7 million has been allocated to shelter repair and reconstruction.
53. Emergency infrastructure programmes implemented by UNDP covered a wide range of public services and municipal utilities, schools, hospitals, clinics, roads, sanitation systems and water treatment facilities. Expenditure for emergency infrastructure support amounted to $11 million.
54. The Office of the Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and Personal Representative of the Secretary-General to the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority continued its coordination of United Nations assistance to the Palestinian people and its representation of the United Nations system at donor forums. It remains the co-chair of the all-donor Local Aid Coordination Committee and vice-chair of the Humanitarian and Emergency Policy Group; it also participated on behalf of the United Nations at the December 2004 meeting of the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee in Oslo and at the London meeting of March 2005. Locally, the Office of the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process convened regular coordination meetings of United Nations agencies and several extraordinary meetings on issues of special policy interest to the United Nations. In order to strengthen a single voice for the United Nations in the region, the Office also served as co-chair of the United Nations Advocacy and Public Information Committee. In late April 2005, the Office began serving as the focal point for coordination between the United Nations system and the new office of the Quartet Special Envoy for Disengagement, Mr. Wolfensohn.
55. In the second half of 2004, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs led in the preparation of the 2005 consolidated appeal process, under which a total of over $302 million was requested to finance activities for 11 agencies and five non-governmental organizations; it also established a database to monitor the progress of consolidated appeal-related projects. The 2005 appeal focused attention on preventing a further deterioration of the socio-economic situation, ensuring civilian protection and targeting of emergency assistance to locations with acute humanitarian needs arising from the conflict, notably in the Gaza Strip, Nablus and Hebron. For the first time, the 2005 appeal preparation benefited from a gender adviser, provided by UNIFEM, to mainstream gender issues in the annual appeal. By May 2005, the Office had received $953,000 in donor contributions through the 2005 consolidated appeal process.
56. On the ground, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs coordinated emergency operational responses and humanitarian assistance from its Jerusalem headquarters and its field offices located in the Gaza Strip, Hebron, Ramallah, Jerusalem, Nablus and Tulkarm. Humanitarian responses were coordinated by liaising with local authorities and municipalities, United Nations agencies and NGO partners. The Office's humanitarian coordination costs for 2004 amounted to some $2.8 million from voluntary donor contributions.
57. In the latter months of 2004, the United Nations country team, led by a core group of agencies and facilitated by the United Nations Development Group, began discussions to initiate a common assessment of medium-term development needs and programme requirements for the occupied Palestinian territory. The objectives of the joint assessment, which would take place later in 2005, were to promote a gradual harmonization of United Nations programmes and to strengthen their consistency with the central development priorities of the Palestinian Authority.
58. Access for humanitarian personnel of all agencies and emergency supplies to the Gaza Strip was particularly problematic due to Israeli restrictions and repeated closures at Erez, Karni and Rafah terminals during the reporting period, even forcing a three-month suspension of food distributions by UNRWA in Gaza between June and September 2004. The restrictions violate established principles of international law, and moreover raise transaction costs for operational agencies, which are ultimately borne by the international community. Since October 2000, cumulative costs incurred due to additional storage, demurrage and transport amounted to $10.6 million by February 2005. In the same period, staff-related costs of closure amounted to almost $20 million.
59. As part of their mandated advocacy work, the United Nations agencies continued to work closely with international and local media to draw attention to and provide information on the situation of the Palestinian people and about the United Nations presence in the region. A new inter-agency coordination mechanism, joint and agency-specific press releases, media information tours, press conferences and a number of other media activities were carried out to inform the public about the humanitarian situation in the occupied Palestinian territory. A prominent new public outreach initiative launched during 2004 was the WHO Bridges magazine, conceived and produced jointly by Israeli and Palestinian health professionals. For its part, UNESCO provided expert advice to media institutions, assisted in the preparation of the media legislative framework and supported activities in television and radio productions (with special emphasis on children's programmes). UNESCO also promoted a media training centre in Gaza and provided equipment and training to the Palestinian news agency and other media centres in the West Bank.
60. Donor assistance continued to be channelled towards immediate emergency and humanitarian priorities, although towards the end of 2004 attention was increasingly centred on requirements for economic recovery over the medium term. This shift was inspired by the Palestinian Authority's success in managing the leadership transition following the death of President Arafat, the positive steps that were subsequently made with Israel on the political track and a relative reduction in violence. Despite these initial steps, a fiscal crisis within the Palestinian Authority required emergency budget support towards the end of the year. Donors generally agreed that economic recovery, and the additional injections of assistance that it would require, would need to be based on evidence of progress on the ground, particularly in easing the closure regime and bringing about critical reforms in the Palestinian Authority.
61. Internal revenues of the Palestinian Authority were strong, reaching pre-September 2000 levels by the third quarter of 2004, with gross revenue up 30 per cent from 2003. By the end of 2004, domestic tax revenues were 37 per cent higher than in 2003; non-tax revenues similarly increased by 21 per cent, excluding profit transfers from the Palestinian monetary fund. Overall, even though total revenues for 2004 exceeded budget projections by over $100 million, external donor support did not meet projections. This shortfall, together with a 17 per cent rise in public sector wage costs, left an estimated $160 million financial gap by the fourth quarter of 2004, resulting in a 57 per cent increase in public sector bank borrowing. Budgetary aid came primarily from the European Union, Saudi Arabia and the World Bank public financial management-reform trust fund (see para. 27). Budget projections for 2005 point to continued strong total revenue performance, with an increase of 8.4 per cent above 2004 levels.
62. The Task Force on Palestinian Reform continued to monitor and support the Palestinian reform process in the areas of elections, financial accountability, the judicial sector and rule of law, legislation, market economy, local government and public administration, and worked with the Palestinian Authority Reform Coordination Support Unit to develop a one-year reform action plan. A number of donors expressed interest in supporting the reform plan, raising hopes for targeted funding to support certain components of the reform effort.
63. Overall, there was positive progress in the areas of elections and financial accountability, which enjoyed strong donor support. Progress was slower in the judicial sector, however, in part due to unresolved conflicts between judicial authorities. In the legislative and the municipal sectors, the Task Force reported that a frequent lack of political will among different parties, financial strains on the Palestinian Authority and intensification of the conflict combi ned to hinder further progress. The transition in the leadership of the Palestinian Authority towards the end of 2004, renewed dialogue with Israel and a renewed commitment by key international donors offered new promise for the reform agenda in 2005.
64. To address the economic crisis, the main donor coordination body, the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee, met in Oslo on 8 December 2004. The World Bank report discussed at the meeting acknowledged disengagement as a potential opportunity for economic renewal, but also stressed the need for an easing of the existing closure regime and significant progress by the Palestinian Authority in the areas of security and institutional reform. The donors endorsed the findings of the report, and agreed that the World Bank, in consultation with them, would develop a set of indicators against which the performance of both parties could be measured. Donors concluded that disengagement should be implemented on the basis of close coordination among the parties, within the context of the road map.
65. At the local level, donor coordination efforts continued through the Local Aid Coordination Committee and its sub-structures: the Humanitarian and Emergency Policy Group, the Task Force on Project Implementation and the Sector Working Groups. The Committee itself met on 13 occasions.
66. In follow-up to the London meeting of 1 March 2005, consultations were initiated in the international community to review and mainstream donor assistance coordination structures. The aim of this process was to better integrate international assistance and reform efforts, enhance the leadership role of the Palestinian Authority in aid management and ensure more effective donor coordination. Options for renewed donor assistance coordination structures were presented to the Palestinian Authority in April 2005.
67. Despite positive initial steps by both parties towards the end of 2004 and early 2005, a primary political challenge ahead remains the institution of a comprehensive political dialogue, and follow-up on the parties' respective commitments and obligations under the road map. The international community, the United Nations and the Quartet will need to seize the opportunity by redoubling their efforts to achieve the full implementation of the road map, as endorsed by the Security Council in its resolution 1515 (2003).
68. Progress on the social and economic front will continue to face several challenges. Unless significantly eased, internal and external closures will continue to be serious obstructions to economic recovery and development opportunities for the majority of Palestinians. Reform of Palestinian public institutions, and improving their capacity to assume increasing leadership in aid management, development planning and effective social service delivery, will constitute additional challenges, the urgency of which will be highlighted during and immediately after disengagement. The Unite d Nations system will be required, actively and coherently, to identify opportunities to support Palestinian institutions during this critical period.
69. An immediate challenge will be to generate tangible improvements in the quality of life for Palestinians both in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, while also laying the ground for long-term economic recovery.
70. Despite an apparent stabilization of the economy and growth in private sector activities since 2003, progress towards economic recovery is unlikely to benefit all Palestinians comprehensively or equitably. Many refugee and non-refugee Palestinians who lost assets and livelihoods during the years of the second intifada are likely to increase the numbers of the chronically poor, and will require targeted social assistance over the medium term. Public institutions are likely to remain only partially able to finance and implement large-scale social assistance programmes in the near term. As such, significant financial support from the international community will continue to be needed. Active steps will have to be taken to ensure that such support effectively strengthens the social planning and delivery capacities of the Palestinian Authority.
71. In operation terms, closures, security restrictions and uncertainty over the full respect by Israeli authorities for United Nations privileges and immunities are likely to continue to pose important challenges to access for, and consequently to the implementation of, United Nations assistance programmes. In order to meet this challenge, United Nations agencies, with support from their respective headquarters, will need to adopt a more robust common approach to access.
72. For the majority of United Nations agencies, immediate support will be needed to address persisting problems of poverty, social vulnerability and food insecurity through a combination of measures, including employment creation, small-scale credit, the delivery of essential social services and targeted food assistance in cases of acute need. Such immediate requirements were analysed and framed during 2004, for a three-year time period, under a national programme for social protection as part of the Palestinian Authority's medium-term development plan.
73. Barrier-affected communities will have an increasingly wide set of needs, but responses will continue to pose complex legal, social and political problems for donors and international organizations. In particular, the legal implications of various types of humanitarian assistance, including the provision of temporary social services, merit careful consideration as part of the design phase of individual projects. The Ministry of Planning has initiated a process to assist international partners in selecting projects that are compatible with international legal obligations. Moreover, the Local Aid Coordination Committee will continue to explore with donors and international organizations appropriate programme interventions for barrier-affected populations. There are also concerns that the completion of the barrier, which will impede access between East Jerusalem and the West Bank, will have significant adverse effects on the operations of those United Nations agencies that rely on the movement of national staff complements between the said areas.
74. Short-term needs associated with the disengagement plan are likely to include the pre-positioning of supplies, food commodities and preparedness of emergency services, in anticipation of potential political or security contingencies during and immediately after Israeli withdrawal. Longer-term United Nations programme requirements resulting from disengagement are likely to be complex, and will depend on the nature and extent of the withdrawal itself and of territorial and commercial linkages with the remainder of the occupied Palestinian territory, Israel and the region. Future needs will also depend on the ability of the Palestinian Authority to project authority, ensure effective administration and deliver effective public services, including public security, in the areas of Israeli withdrawal.
75. There have been positive political developments towards the end of the period covered in the present report, with both the Palestinians and the Israelis reaffirming their commitment to the road map and the cessation of violence. Reaching a peaceful solution to this conflict, which continues to claim lives and devastate communities, however, will require that both sides follow through with those commitments. While it is hoped that emerging opportunities can be realized, Palestinians will continue to face severe socio-economic hardship and formidable challenges in the areas of reform and governance in the year ahead.
76. Within this context, United Nations agencies, donors and humanitarian organizations will need to meet a wide variety of programming needs regarding assistance to the Palestinian people in 2005 and 2006, while balancing short-term emergency requirements with a coherent development focus on the medium and long term. Therefore, it is vital that the international community continue to provide the necessary resources for assistance programmes for the Palestinian people.
77. The parties must make every effort to facilitate the work of United Nations agencies and partners in the donor and aid communities. I call especially upon the Government of Israel to ease restrictions and work closely with United Nations agencies, donors and humanitarian organizations to ensure that aid and development projects are delivered in a timely and comprehensive manner. Effective steps by the Palestinian Authority to lessen Israel's security concerns would facilitate such an effort.
78. While international assistance can alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people, only a peace process and a full and final settlement of the conflict will enable a shift from crisis management and recovery to sustained and sustainable development and prosperity. Such a settlement can be achieved through the full implementation of the Quartet's road map, designed to resolve the Israel-Palestinian conflict and end the occupation that began in 1967.
79. The broader aim of the United Nations and, indeed, the entire international community, remains the realization of a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East, based on Security Council resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), 1397 (2002) and 1515 (2003), and the establishment of a sovereign, democratic, viable and contiguous Palestinian State living side-by-side in peace with a secure Israel.

FAA orders new procedures for controllers - AP News - Breaking News
Posted: Mar 26, 2011 12:17 AM
The planes _ an American Airlines flight from Dallas and a United Airlines flight from Chicago with a combined 165 people on board _ landed safely.
The controller on duty in the tower _ a veteran air traffic supervisor _ acknowledged to investigators who interviewed him Thursday that he had dozed off, the National Transportation Safety Board said. The controller, who has not been identified, was working his fourth 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. shift in a row, according the board, which is investigating the episode.
On Friday, the safety board recommended to the FAA that it no longer allow air traffic controllers to provide supervisory oversight while performing operational air traffic duties. The recommendation wasn't directly related to this week's incident. But if FAA were to follow the board's recommendation, the agency would effectively have to assign at least two people _ a supervisor and a controller _ to every shift.

'Wreck-It Ralph 2' Final Trailer Released
By Charlie Ridgely - October 10, 2018 11:21 am EDT
With just over a month until the movie hits theaters, Walt Disney Animation Studios has unveiled the final international trailer for the highly-anticipated Wreck-It Ralph sequel, Ralph Breaks the Internet.
Like the trailer that was released last month, this footage aims to show off the actual plot of Ralph Breaks the Internet. In the film, Ralph and Vanellope leave the arcade via the new Wifi port, and make their way to the vast expanse of the World Wide Web. Of course, once they get there, they find themselves completely out of their element, and in a whole new world.
This trailer also features the online game Slaughter Race, and one of it's most popular racers, Shank, voiced by Wonder Woman's Gal Gadot. As Vanellope explores this version of the world, she realizes there might be more to life than the arcade, but Ralph doesn't exactly feel the same way.
Joining John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, and Gal Gadot in the cast is a slew of talented performers, including Taraji P. Henson, Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch, Alan Tudyk, Alfred Molina, Ed O'Neill, Ali Wong, Timothy Simons, Glozell Green, and Hamish Blake.
You can check out Disney's official description of Ralph Breaks the Internet below!
Video-game bad guy Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) and best friend Vanellope (voice of Sarah Silverman) leave the comforts of Litwak's arcade in an attempt to save her game. Their quest takes them to the vast world of the internet, a world Vanellope wholeheartedly embraces - so much so that Ralph worries he may lose the only friend he's ever had.
Are you excited for the Wreck-It Ralph sequel to arrive? What did you think of the final trailer? Let us know in the comments!

Daya Gives a Shout-Out to The Chainsmokers for Their Grammy Nomination: 'We Make a Pretty Bomb Team' | Billboard
With two solo singles landing in the top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100 ("Hide Away" and "Sit Still, Look Pretty") and the release of her debut album, Sit Still, Look Pretty, Daya had a pretty stellar 2016 on her own. But it was her collaboration with Alex Pall and Drew Taggart -- otherwise known as The Chainsmokers -- that really launched her into the stratosphere, with the collaborative smash "Don't Let Me Down" earning the singer her first Grammy nomination.
As part of Billboard's new Grammy video series, Daya shared exactly what made their song "Don't Let Me Down" have such an impact, reaching No. 3 on the Hot 100 prior to earning the nomination. And of course, she had to give a quick shout-out to The Chainsmokers guys.
"The intense vocal and track builds throughout the song, [which] coupled with the raw vulnerability of the lyrics helped it to shine through and really connect with people this past year," she says. "Basically, Alex, Drew and I make a pretty bomb team."
Daya has previously told Billboard that Pall and Taggart are now like her older brothers, especially because she only has sisters. When it came to celebrating her first Grammy nomination (and being the youngest artist this year to nab one) though, Daya relished the honor with her actual relatives.
"I finally got to take some time off after what's been an insane year, and my family and I celebrated by scuba diving with sea turtles in Australia, which was pretty sick."
As for the other artists who were nominated this year, Daya is pulling for seven-time nominee Chance the Rapper, as he's also an independent artist. "[Chance's nominations] are inspiring for artists like me."
But while Chance can serve as an inspiration for Daya, winning that gramophone would be the ultimate encouragement to continue making music.
"Winning a Grammy would mean the world," she gushes. "It would validate the hard work that I've put in until this point and it would fuel me with energy to keep pushing for more."

The larder is back. With Bake Off being such a hit and open-plan kitchen-living spaces proving popular in the modern home, our kitchens are working harder than ever. The larder is a great style-meets-substance storage solution, where all those spices, dry goods and baking necessities can be neatly tucked away but easy to access. Take a look at the bespoke breakfast cabinet in the gallery below. Part of the Brompton range by bespoke furniture and kitchen company McCarron & Co, the Brompton breakfast cabinet goes above and beyond the average large duties; hand crafted using American walnut, it houses a coffee machine and microwave, as well as hidden storage, breakfast trays and a sink with a boiling tap.
Ah, the hallway. Home of shoes, bags, post, car keys and those other pesky bits and bobs that never quite seem to get put away. Shoe and coat racks keep things in check, but they’re still an eyesore. If only the walls would just swallow them up… well they can! McCarron & Co can create wall panelling that cleverly conceals hidden storage space, which is tucked away behind the traditionally moulded panels for a classic design feature that’ll be the envy of all your visitors.
The bedroom is another tricky spot to keep clutter free. The morning rush to get out of the door, the weary evenings where you chuck everything you’re wearing on the floor, and those big nights out where you just can’t seem to find your favourite shoes. Here’s one where good cabinetry can really save you valuable time. A chic, bespoke walk-in dressing room by will give you the storage space you need and can be tailored exactly to how you live – work wear, formal wear, weekend casuals, shoes and accessories can all be stowed away in their own, easy-to access compartments so that you can just grab and go.
Bathroom storage, especially in smaller spaces, can be particularly challenging, so make sure your drawer space is working as hard as it can. McCarron & Co can craft smart drawers to suit your space and needs – perhaps to fit around a sink, to stow away washing up liquid and kitchen roll, if there’s no space underneath it? Or how about the natty way of storing tea and coffee shown in the gallery below? Switch clusters of tea and coffee canisters on the side or in a cupboard for a sleek, pull-out walnut drawer with separate storage compartments; a great way to get organised.
Basement conversions have been rising in popularity, especially in big cities where we’re all clamouring for more space on crowded streets. And if you’re not creating a hi-tech cinema room, a gym or – live the dream guys – a basement swimming pool, then it’s all about the wine cellar. Wine connoisseurs who want to sip their favourite vintage from the comfort of their own home, rather than The Ivy, have seen this trend blossom in recent years. Take a look at the beautiful example in the gallery below, where McCarron & Co has crafted a bespoke wine room complete with a drinks chiller, clever lighting, oak drawers and a slate worktop, all contained within stylish timber and glass to create a zoned-off area with an industrial feel.

Google Building Maker - Google Blogoscoped Forum
Google Building Maker (View post)
11 years ago • 5,153 views
Google Building Maker: sketchup.google.com/3dwh/build ...
Blog: google-latlong.blogspot.com/20 ...
It runs entirely in browser, you need Google Earth plugin. It's incredibly easy (and fun) to create new buildings, I like the interface, it's very polished. You can create buildings in 50 cities, those cities have besides normal satellite imagery an airplane imagery (like bird view in Bing Maps) – so you don't see the building only from top but also from 4 sides.
Wheer the image come from? Same provider than Bing Maps?
My understanding was that Microsoft bought the exclusive rights to those birds-eye photos. I too am curious where they come from.
What I'm wondering now is: what do you get for doing 3D assets for Google?
I can't get this to work on my Mac...
You also get to help Google align their different birds eye views, crowdsourcing style.
After making some models I checked out the criteria for acceptance into the official buildings layer, some of these I expect to actually go 'wrong' quite often using this new 'building maker':
e.g. 'Models should not exhibit Z-fighting.', 'Models should be completely photo-textured.' (still tends to go wrong even with simple structures e.g. sketchup.google.com/3dwarehous ...), 'Models should not include more than one discrete structure each.' (easy newbie mistake I nearly made)
Still overall its quite a neat interface for simple buildings, but for more complex one's they should add a few more basic building blocks.
Sorry for double post, but one small tip: ALWAYS check whether somebody didn't made a model yet. (I made this mistake already twice :/ , out of the four buildings I created)
Makes you wonder how many burglaries, robberies, and terrorist or military-style attacks will be planned on the basis of this "crowd-sourcing".
Googlers have never really demonstrated much moral foresight. Actually, they have never really demonstrated much of any kind of foresight. It's always been, "Here's a stupid concept – let's charge forward with it!"
Some of their stupid concepts have really transformed the way the world thinks – look at all the link spammers who plague social media sites. Good job, Google.
"Makes you wonder how many burglaries, robberies, and terrorist or military-style attacks will be planned on the basis of this crowd-sourcing."
No, it doesn't. Clearly (and perhaps thankfully) you don't know anything about burgling, robbing, terrorizing or fighting wars.
I will never understand this knee-jerk reaction, that making publicly-available information easier to find and to use is somehow "dangerous." That photography is dangerous. That learning is dangerous. That decisions made by large groups are inferior to decisions made by individuals, rather than merely different.
A knee-jerk mistrust of new technology is as bone-headed as assuming all new technology is beneficial and helpful. So is assuming that a technology is "stupid" merely because some profit-minded individuals will attempt to break it.
Yeah. What Erik said.
Some things provide massive benefits to society: education, information, photography, maps, open government, etc. In general, if you deny these things to the "good guys", you will find that the "bad guys" are likely to have access to underground workarounds that are not available to the "good guys".

Electroencephalogram | Chippenham Hospital
The brain cells talk to each other and to the rest of the body with electrical signals. An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that will show the electrical activity of the brain.
An EEG may be done to look for changes in brain activity after an injury or illness such as:
Brain infection— encephalitis
It may also be used to diagnose or rule out disorders of the brain such as seizures.
Certain foods, medication, or activity can affect your brain activity. Before the test:
You may need to stop certain medications before the test.
You may be asked to avoid caffeine for eight hours before the test.
If you are having a sleep-deprived EEG, you may need to stay awake the night before the test.
Electrodes will be placed around your scalp for the test. Shampoo your hair the day of the test so that they attach better. Do not use hair styling products.
If you have had seizures, make sure to have a ride available to and from the test.
You will be asked to sit in a chair or lie on a bed. Electrodes will be placed on your scalp with special gel or paste. The electrodes may also be part of a cap that is slipped over your head. The electrodes will record the brain's electrical activity. You will be asked to close your eyes and be still for most of the test. Depending on the reason for the test, there may be other steps such as:
Breathing deeply and rapidly.
Watching a strobe light with fast pulses of light. This can set off a seizure in some.
The electrodes will be taken off and you will be able to go home. If you are being treated for a condition you may need to stay in the hospital longer.
The test may take about one hour.
An EEG may also be done over a number of days for people that are in the hospital with severe illnesses.
No. The EEG electrodes sit on top of the skin and are painless.
Your test results will be reviewed by a specialist. Your doctor will get a report within 1-2 weeks and will talk to you about the results.
If you have had seizures, call your doctor if your seizures change after the test.

Thornton (Lauderdale County, Alabama): Census Information ;
Home >> Alabama >> Lauderdale County >> Thornton >> Census Data
As far as we can tell, Thornton has not been included in past Census counts, so there is no population information for this community.
While we don't have census information for Thornton, you might be interested in some nearby communities where we do:
To help identify the number of people who live in Thornton and the surrounding area, we have drawn concentric rings centered on Thornton. We counted the number of communities within each ring and summed their populations.<3> We don't have the population of Thornton, so its people haven't been included.
20 mi [32 km] 18 92,623 +5.26%
30 mi [48 km] 32 199,924 +2.6%
The Federal government has assigned various identifying codes to each community, county and state. At one time or another, the US Census Bureau has referenced one (or more) of the following identifiers when referring to either Lauderdale County or the community of Thornton:
GNIS ID for Thornton: 127925
Place Code: 76015 (Thornton)
State & Place Code: 01/76015 (Alabama / Thornton)
Thornton is located in Census Region #3 (the South Region) and Division #6 (the East South-Central Division).

So how exactly does Genital Warts Cryotherapy Work? - Just another Journalhome blog- JournalHome.com
1/8/2017 - So how exactly does Genital Warts Cryotherapy Work?
Cryotherapy is often a surgery treatment involving the usage of extreme cold to destroy cancers. It really is probably the most effective method of getting gone genital warts. In accordance with Dr. C.M. Kodner and Dr. S. Nasraty with the University of Louisville Med school in Louisville, Kentucky, "...Podofilox, imiquimod, surgical excision, and cryotherapy will be the most commodious and efficient options."
Even though you can acquire the required chemicals to freeze your genital warts in your house, self-medication is discouraged. The task must be done for your doctor's office. Since cryotherapy can be quite agonizing and dangerous if carelessly carried out by the untrained, it is just a good plan permit your doctor or a health worker get it done.
Liquid nitrogen could be the primary chemical employed in cryotherapy. It's employed to blast the warts into get cold at the cellular level. The extremely cooled liquid nitrogen is sprayed within a fine stream for the wart. The skin across the frozen wart will blister and after a couple of days, will form in a scab. The genital wart as well as the scab will fall off. It will take several cryotherapy treatment sessions before all warts are eliminated.
Apart from its effectiveness, cryotherapy is favored which is nearly non-invasive. Furthermore, it's got only a few unwanted side effects such as mild rashes and a few scarring which are almost negligible. The one reason to be concerned would be that the surrounding healthy skin gets damaged.
Generally, patients who had cryotherapy felt mild to moderate pain and some inflammation inside the treated area. This can be relieved if you take oral analgesics like aspirin or ibuprofen along with some topical steroid ointment put on the treated area. Blisters may sometimes develop however these consider scabs later and flake off.
If however you have genital warts and are seriously contemplating their removal, remember that human papillomavirus, herpes that can bring regarding the warts, can not be cured and can be in the body. HPV usually stay inactive inside our bodies for years without manifesting any symptom. Cryotherapy will only remove the external genital warts but cannot eliminate the virus.
You are going to go through the recurrence of genital warts occasionally in the foreseeable future. Also, if you have been infected, it ought to follow you have the HPV in your body and can transmit it along with other persons. The unhealthy news for ladies is a "high-risk" types of HPV can cause cervical cancer.
Cryotherapy has been proven by doctors to reduce genital warts. When compared to Podophyllin within the treating genital warts, Dr. SamiAnwer Bashi from the Department of Genitourinary Medicine, Royal Victoria Hospital, Bournemouth, Uk said, "...A hundred five (51 %) of the addressed with podophyllin and 114 (79%) treated with cryotherapy were clear of warts at their follow-up examination."
Cryotherapy can be reasonable for expensive according to wart infestation along with the quantity of treatment sessions. Dr. C.M. Kodner said, "...the price per successful treatment course is concerning dollars 200 to dollars 300 for podofilox, cryotherapy, electrodesiccation, surgical excision, laser skin treatment, along with the loop electrosurgical excision procedure."
If cryotherapy doesn't work for you personally, ask a medical expert for other available treatment options for genital warts removal.

Commision on Cancer accredits UHS, New York - UHS
Home > About Us > Media Lounge > Commision on Cancer accredits UHS
Commission on Cancer accredits UHS
The Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons has granted three-year accreditation to the cancer program at UHS.
To earn voluntary accreditation, a cancer program must meet 34 quality standards, be evaluated every three years and maintain levels of excellence in the delivery of comprehensive, patient-centered care.
"As a commission-accredited center, UHS takes a multidisciplinary approach to treating cancer as a complex group of diseases that requires consultation among surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, diagnostic radiologists, pathologists and other cancer specialists," said Matthew J. Salanger, president and chief executive officer of UHS. "This multidisciplinary partnership produces improved patient care."
The accreditation program affords a framework for UHS to continually improve its quality of care by focusing on the full spectrum of care, including prevention, early diagnosis, cancer staging, optimal treatment, rehabilitation, lifelong follow-up for recurrent disease and end-of-life care.
When patients receive care at a commission-accredited facility, they also have access to information on clinical trials and new treatments, genetic counseling and patient-centered services, such as psychosocial support, a patient navigation process and a survivorship care plan that documents the care they receive and seeks to improve their quality of life.
Like other commission-accredited facilities, UHS maintains a cancer registry and contributes data to the National Cancer Data Base, a joint program of the Commission on Cancer and the American Cancer Society.
The nationwide database of oncology outcomes is the largest clinical disease registry in the world. Data on all types of cancer are tracked and analyzed through the database and used to explore trends in cancer care.
In turn, commission-accredited centers have access to information derived from this type of data analysis, which is used to create national, regional and state benchmark reports.
Accreditation Facts:
Across the United States, an estimated 1.6 million cases of cancer are diagnosed each year.
There are more than 1,500 commission-accredited cancer programs in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, representing 30 percent of all hospitals.
Commission-accredited facilities diagnose or treat more than 70 percent of all newly diagnosed patients.
When cancer patients choose a commission-accredited center, they gain access to state-of-the-art care close to home.
The commission offers the public information on the resources, services and treatment experiences provided by each accredited program, through a hospital locator at www.facs.org/cancerprogram.index.html.
Established in 1922 by the American College of Surgeons, the Commission on Cancer is a consortium of professional organizations dedicated to improving patient outcomes and quality of life through standard-setting, prevention, research, education and care monitoring.
Its membership includes the Fellows of the American College of Surgeons; to learn more, visit www.facs.org/cancer.

Pink Ice Cream Nails
Another fun summer nails for getting ready for the sunny season! These ice cream nails are very easy to make and will make you happy (and possibly people around you too)!
You can use any color of base (I used pink thinking of strawberry flavor :D).
Other flavors that pop up in my mind include:
- Mint green for mint, obiviously
- Yellow for lemon, mango...
- Orange for orange
- Brown for chocolate
- White for vanilla, just pair it with another color for the cream/syrup
I then messily painted a layer of white as a whip cream on top of the pink.This does not have to be neat, since you want to achieve the dripping effect. Then at the end I just used different color nail stripper for the candy bits!

By Teresa M. Walker
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans find themselves back in a waiting mode, hoping the NFL allows them back inside their headquarters by Tuesday.
Their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers is now postponed until later in the season because of the league’s first COVID-19 outbreak.
The NFL postponed Sunday’s game in Nashville after one additional Titans player and one personnel member tested positive for COVID-19. The announcement Thursday morning came a day after the league said it hoped to play the game either Monday or Tuesday. The NFL said a new game date will be announced “shortly.”
Coach Mike Vrabel informed his Titans of the newest positive tests and the NFL’s decision to postpone the game at a team meeting Thursday morning. That puts Tennessee — and Pittsburgh — on a bye week several weeks ahead of schedule.
Vrabel said they hope to be allowed back inside their building Monday or Tuesday.
“I told them to try to mentally recover from an emotional few days, so that we can proceed with our season, build on a 3-0 start,” Vrabel said.
When the Titans are allowed back inside their facility depends on the daily testing results. They had one positive test last Saturday with outside linebackers coach Shane Bowen, which prevented him from traveling with Tennessee to Minnesota for a 31-30 win. The Vikings returned to work at their facility Thursday.
The Titans are scheduled to host Buffalo (3-0) on Oct. 11 depending on the results of daily testing.
On Tuesday, the Titans (3-0) placed three players on the reserve/COVID-19 list, including defensive captain and lineman DaQuan Jones and long snapper Beau Brinkley. Outside linebacker Kamalei Correa became the fourth on that list Wednesday, and rookie cornerback Kristian Fulton became the fifth Thursday.

With the two new cases, the Titans’ total is now 12: five players and seven other organization members since last Saturday. Vrabel said he’s very confident the Titans have followed the contact tracing protocol to identify anyone at risk from being close together.
“So we’ll see what happens tomorrow when we get those results back,” Vrabel said.
The NFL decided to postpone the game “to ensure the health and safety of players, coaches and game day personnel.” The league also said the Titans cannot have any in-person activities until further notice with the facility remaining closed.
The league also sent a memo Thursday detailing new steps for teams dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak or exposed to a team, such as Minnesota. Those include a POC test in addition to the daily PCR test, virtual meetings and facemasks and gloves for everyone at practice until cleared to return to less stringent protocols.
Vrabel said the Titans also likely will have some new protocols to follow once they get back into the building. He did not elaborate.
The Titans already had a couple of players on the reserve-COVID-19 list, with defensive back Greg Maybin, who was signed to the practice squad Sept. 21, added to that list Sept. 24. Vrabel said Mabin left the building and went into quarantine once his positive test came back.
Vrabel said some of those who tested positive haven’t had any symptoms, while others have had some flu-like symptoms. Vrabel, who said Wednesday he was not among those testing positive, declined Thursday to single out anyone specifically, but said people were starting to feel better.
Now the NFL has to figure out how to reschedule a game between two of its seven undefeated teams after the league’s first COVID-19 outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
The simplest scenario for rescheduling is Week 7 on Oct. 25. That’s the Titans’ bye. Pittsburgh is scheduled to play at Baltimore that week, but both the Steelers and Ravens have byes in Week 8, allowing the NFL to make a change affecting only one other team.

Both Vrabel and Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said they had an idea of what the new date could be. For now both the Titans and Steelers went from game preparation to an unexpected bye and a chance to heal up some players.
Unlike other seasons, players must stick around for daily testing to avoid the need for quarantine returning from a trip. Vrabel said he thinks his players will deal with this well.
“They’ll handle it with professionalism, with understanding and a compassion towards not only ourselves and those people that have been affected, but also Pittsburgh, the Steelers that were preparing for a game and now will have their schedule changed as well,” Vrabel said.
The Steelers had been scheduled to practice Thursday and now their next opponent will be Philadelphia on Oct. 11. Tomlin called it the nature of the environment in 2020.
“We’re just adjusting accordingly,” Tomlin said. “But there’s disappointment, no question. We’ve worked extremely hard at the beginning portion of this week in preparation for what we thought was an opportunity versus an undefeated team in their venue and so you lean in on those opportunities.”
The Titans, who played in the AFC championship game in January, and the Steelers, revived with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger back now, may be playing without a break through the rest of the regular season.
“I was part of a team in 2001 that after the 9/11 incident played 14 straight games and won the Super Bowl that year,” Vrabel said.

DC Derby Winner Circle
Thank you to all who voted. In the case of software problems etc. some votes might not have gotten tabulated. Hopefully we will not encounter similar problems in the Freakness. But I think the results are pretty well decisive. Here is the call on the DC Derby.
As the horses head to the gate, a note about Peace Dividend: Some have objected that this is too old a horse to be involved in this competition. Well, we can chalk it up to the "Volleyball Club" rule. If you are in your forties and you are recruited by a club-team of twenty-somethings, good for you! What is against the rules is for forty-something teams to recruit twenty-somethings to play. So Peace Dividend belongs here.
We are still unsure, however, about "Is It Torture." The judges have all determined the horse's ineligibility, however the executive panel insists on running the horse.
The real talk of this race is how the dark horses such as "Media Clip" and "President of a Different Color" are going to compete with the two heavily favored stallions, the dappled-gray Arabian "Fog of War" and the green-eyed Palamino "Rush to Judgment."
Fog of War and Rush to Judgment have darted ahead to take the early lead, with Filly Buster leading the rest of the pack early. Is It Torture has stumbled out of the gate--and their appears to have been some kind of collision! Peace Dividend has rolled over but has luckily thrown its jockey clear. It appears that Shock and Awe bowled Peace Dividend right over in battling for an inside position. What a shame for the old horse. We might get a foul charged to Shock and Awe, but we have to wonder if that will matter even if the judges disqualify Shock and Awe, since the only law that seems to matter in this race comes from the executive panel.
The leaders are rounding the curve heading into the back stretch. Abundance of Caution has pretty much vanished from the field. Shock and Awe is running an aggressive race to catch up to the chase pack, but seems to have alienated the support of the crowd. Bail Out, President of a Different Color, and Media Clip are biding their time behind the two leaders.
Now we are heading towards the curve off the back stretch, and Rush to Judgment is a nose ahead of Fog of War. Media Clip and Shock and Awe are dueling a couple lengths back. Filly Buster, President of a Different Color, Fleeting Glory and Bail Out are in a tight pack well off the lead, and we have to wonder if any of them plan to make a move. And well behind the rest of them is Renewable Energy. No one seems interested in Is It Torture anymore, and where is Peace Dividend? The field officials have removed him from the track, but we have reports more of wounded pride than of any major injuries.
And at the top of the stretch the whip is being applied to Rush to Judgment, but Fog of War is making a move! The crowd has definitely gotten behind Fog of War, likely because of the similar sounding name to actual Triple Crown winner Man o' War. Bail Out, President and Media Clip have squeezed Shock and Awe out of position. There won't be any catching the leaders now as down the stretch Fog of War spurts ahead of Rush to Judgment! It appears that Rush applied the whip too early in the DC Derby.
Fog of War wins pulling away, four lengths ahead of Rush to Judgment. In a photo finish to show, Bail Out has the edge on President of a Different Color and Media Clip. Shock and Awe finishes outside the medals, but has qualified for the Freakness. So yes, despite the bowling over of Peace Dividend out of the gate, Shock and Awe will be in the mix in the Freakness show-down between Rogue State and Mission Accomplished.
Is It Torture made some noise late to finish ahead of the rest, with Filly Buster fading after a strong start, and then Fleeting Glory, Renewable Energy, and Abundance of Caution. These horses will not be running the Freakness. Depending on the Freakness results, we may see Filly Buster or even Is It Torture at the National Stakes. It appears that Renewable Energy and Abundance of Caution are finished this racing season.
So with Fog of War winning, Rush to Judgment placing, and Bail Out showing, we now have the race form for the Freakness:
President of a Different Color
Return the Bonus
Be sure to vote early and to vote often. Results will be reported next Tuesday. Also, you can send Dear Jon actual letters for real advice, too. If I get actual letters I might answer them and just post race results, rather than doing what one you in the comments called "hackneyed political commentary." Well excuse me! I did not invent these buzz words, did I?
Jon Deer from Illinois writes:
Fog of War to take the triple crown.
None of the other good horse names have made it except President of a Different Color. But I think "Button" is a great name for a horse anyway, so I won't Restart Button in second place and President third.
PJ the Bandit from Cowboy Country writes:
Shock and Awe knocks over Peace Dividend? Gimme a break.
1. Return the Bonus
3. President of a Different Color
Oche Dremon from Illinois writes:
I think they should finish 1-2-3 in all the Triple Crown.
Wrinkles from USA writes:
Fog of War ought to win pulling away. And then have Mission Accomplished, Rogue State, Shock and Awe and Restart Button tie for second and represent again in the National Stakes--where exactly the same thing happens. Maybe this ballot won't count, but if political commentary is what Dear Jon wants, this just about sizes it up.
Jonathan Wilson from Chicagoland writes:
Let's see, PJ is voting for economic buzzwords, and Wrinkles is voting for war buzzwords, and Jon Deer is voting for names he likes for real horses, which is actually Dear Jon's point at least as I understood it.
I like President of a Different Color, Rush to Judgment and Bail Out, 1-2-3.
That's just to upset Fog of War for the Triple Crown. Since no real horses are winning the triple crown for colts, why should a virtual horse? But If Fog comes back to the National Stakes, I might vote for him again.
All right, I'm taking up Dear Jon on this and I'm going to submit my vote again, because I want them to win and I don't see how you guys can't see that Fog of War should be the big winner. So: Fog of War, Rush to Judgment, Bail Out.

Poll: how will we do against New York? - Mayo GAA Blog
Poll: how will we do against New York?
April 29, 2014 April 30, 2019 Willie Joe
Paddy Power have us priced at a nice, generous 1/500 to do the business against New York over in Gaelic Park this coming Sunday (throw-in 2.30pm local time, 7.30pm here) in our opening match of this year's Championship campaign. In this week's Mayo News (digital edition), James Horan has told Mike Finnerty that they intend to hit the Yanks with everything they have on Sunday and will be taking every fit member of the panel over for the match. By the sounds of that, James has no intention of seeing his side skirt with disaster in the way they did in his first championship match in charge, against London over in Ruislip in 2011.
By the way, this week's Mayo News is well worth getting either in digital or paper form as it contains a special supplement on the New York game, the cover of which is quite an artistic delight.
Right, then, how do you think the match will go – easy win, not-so-easy win or – Heaven forbid – a mortifying, never-to-be-lived-down defeat? Time to vote, y'all.
How will the New York game go?
We'll beat them comfortably enough (42%, 117 Votes)
We'll ate them (40%, 112 Votes)
We'll be left with the shock of the century to explain to all and sundry (14%, 39 Votes)
We'll scrape by them (5%, 13 Votes)

No option on the vote for a loss WJ ? 🙂
There is – that's the 'shock of the century' one (currently attracting 9% of the vote for some odd reason).
I think if mayo were to lose this one, it would surely make the nighty news here, such would be the shock!
oh yes i didnt read that properly . who are the 9% ? 🙂
I think some Rossies must be infiltrating the site…
JH has stated he wants every fit member of panel and wants to throw everything at them. This will show exactly where we are at I think. He stated before the league he wanted to win it and we know what happened there. If we don't smash NY then we're done for this year I think.
I wonder when is the team due to be named?
Not too sure if there're training tonight. Team named probably tomorrow night? There're heading over on Thursday.
Thanks mayo.mick, yeah with it being a championship match, I was thinking that it would be a bit earlier than the usual midnight on Friday night, as it was for some of the league games.
will the game be on Midwest does anyone know?
Yes – Mid West will have live coverage of the game 😀
Win well and hope we don't pick up any injuries and give all subs a run out.
Its a nothing match, hopefully some bonding but like playing a Club Team. Lets just get on with it and focus on the Rossies in The Hyde.
Mayomaningalway, Will be a live broadcast on Mid West. RTE will also be showing highlights from 7.30, they requested that the match be brought forward to 2.30 to show them.
I know what you're saying, but as far as I can recall, James was answering a question about what he wanted from the league. He said his aim was to win it and he couldn't have said anything else, or he would have been ate alive .What he really wanted, only he and the close group knew and rightly so.
I might be wrong, but I don't think for one second that he wanted to win it.
We had Dublin beaten three times in our last meeting and loose to that Derry team in the semi, it just doesn't add up.
I still expect a great summer.
Was chatting to a lad involved with a ny club containing a couple of ny players, he reckons the ny lads are alright of players but light years away from Mayos level of fitness and conditioning, we all know that, but still, Mayo need to not get any broken legs or arms and get a victory all the same.
Mayo 3 18
Ny. 1. 08
If you could borrow a million for 24 hours on Sunday you'd make a handy €2000 at paddy power
He should have wanted to to win the league. In my humble opinion building a winning mentality is just as important as going crazy in the gym building muscles. Mayo should be
chomping at the bit to get the chance to put it up to the Dubs at every available opportunity.
If he was really sacrificing the second national competition due to some longerterm plan for later in the year then he is one cool man.
I think he did want to win it. Real effort went into beating the Dubs in Croke Park. And I think as much as the players had (at the time) went into winning against Derry in Castlebar. But they were too tired after the 3 hard games on the trot, (also possibly whatever training they're at) and Derry as well had 14 fresh men to bring in for the semi-final.
The exhaustion and tiredness was evident in the final 5 minutes when Derry pulled away. The worry for us I think is that the sideline impact was notably poor (for both Dublin and Mayo games). Also both of those games were against 14 men but we were unable to win either. It is a confidence blow for the team and another reason that nationally we are seen as chokers and probably a softer touch come the business end of the season because of this perceived fragility.
On the flip side we were probably better off getting beaten by Derry as it was clearly evident in the way that Dublin destroyed Derry that they would have beaten us handily as well in any final. And this would have put the heads in a bad place before the start of the championship and the NY match.
What odds are NY to beat us? If the shock of the century was pulled off at least it would pay for the entire trip over.
Paddy Power have priced New York at 16/1 to beat us, which is a bit mean of them given our 1/500 odds for the game!
Crap odds alright Willie Joe, 500/1 would be too good to resist a tenner.
I met a bloke yesterday who told me he had a pain in the hole from supporting mayo. The pain is so great he said that at times it feels like he has 3 or 4 holes
Robbie Hennelly 1st goalscorer lads….. guaranteed 😉
Just lifted this from a tweet up above. You'd never guess where the manager of New York is from…….(Kerry)

Interesting story on the RTE website:
Mark McHugh among three players to quit Donegal panel
You'd wonder what's going on there.
Is there a prediction competition set up anytime soon for the championship
With our porous defence so far it better not be an own goal Hennelly scores!
pj, face the ball do the championship prediction league. I've been keeping an eye out myself, nothing happening yet. Cant remember if they start after New York match.
http://www.facetheball.com/
The team has being named:
3) Kevin Keane – Westport
10) Diarmuid O'Connor – Ballintubber
11) Seamus O'Shea – Breaffy
14) Andy Moran – Ballaghaderreen (Captain)
"@MayoGAA: Team: Hennelly, Cunniffe, Keane, Higgins, Keegan, Boyle, Vaughan, Gibbons, AOShea, D.OConnor, SOShea, Doherty, McLoughlin, Moran, C.O'Connor"
good team i like the look of it the back's looks stronger than we had for most of the league , nice to see keith back , boyle at center half will be interesting, the forward section is interesting , it would be nice to have McLoughlin in the half forwards tho maybe moving jason doherty in to the full forward line
^^^ Boyle may wear 7 but is generally always operating in the centre
Doherty has been superb HF and McL has a new lease of life wearing 13 and having more freedom.
Great team, O'Connor the only questionable inclusion. Delighted to see the 3 mids starting, Gibbons will probably play more CF than any
Higgins back is great news
Saying all that the under 16's would win this :p 😀
Where's a good Mayo pub in NY to watch the match on Sunday?
Hmm, no Freezer. Interesting.
Feel that Diarmaid O'Connor is JH's type of player. He did look able for the physicality of it all on his fleeting appearances in the league.
Would like to see the subs list.
^^^ Me too, I don't think they release it do they? Till the match itself, on the programme
I'd say we'll know the subs tomorrow by the crew that's travelling!
Well the Mayo team has been named and the positive news is that Keith Higgins is back at corner back which is without doubt his best position. Our attack is questionable and some strange selections. Alan Freeman should be at full forward, unless he is injured. The man named at number 14 is certainly not the player he was and played poor in the league. Im baffled about the exclusion of Mickey Sweeney, he was probably one of Mayo's best player in the league. Centre half forward has been a problem area for us and it will be interesting to see how Seamus O Shea gets on there on sunday. The inclusion of Diarmuid O Connor in the half forward line is surprising, he probably will switch positions with Kevin Mc Loughlin

Tir Chonaill Gaels GAA - Celeb Winners to face London Champions
"Well, six months on, I'm delighted to get the opportunity to say how happy I was we won Celebrity Bainisteoir 2008," he said.
"At the time, I didn't get that chance as I had to fly straight from the final to the Eurovision. It was just a fantastic experience and for the Maryland team and everyone at the club it was a huge victory and a well-deserved one.
"Obviously, there's a lot on the line with this match but we're looking forward to the challenge. Maryland have a lot to play for and the pride of the team is important."
His Tir Chonaill Gaels counterpart Patrick Kielty said: "I played a bit when I was younger. I was actually a sub on the Down minor team that won the All-Ireland in 1987.
"I haven't done anything in years though, so I'm really looking forward to it. We're going to get in and get at them."

Bonhams : A storage chest Tibet, 16th/17th century
Ground mineral pigments, cloth, wood and metal; the tray-form lid sits above a painted front panel decorated with a kati rimo style lattice work design around a central cartouche populated by a writhing gilt dragon holding an offering bowl containing precious jewels and gems of the chakravartin set amid large peonies and floral forms. The large gilt scrolling arabesques spandrels and floral cartouche border frames the whole composition.
45 x 16 ½ x 21 in. (114.3 x 41.9 x 53.3 cm.)
Lot 1020 and the present item are nearly identical in design and size but would have not constituted a pair because the dragons face the same direction, however it is likely they come from the same atelier. For further discussion see lot 1020.

Specialized in selling rims and wheels for all types of vehicles Wheels of the World is a large web business that really cares about what every car is wearing.
Rims and alloy wheels are among the most popular car accessories due to their proven performance in relation to the regular steel rims. To ensure a coherent development of this business, we created for them an e-commercial platform and an iPad/iPhone app store for their products and services. If you are looking to purchase alloy wheels than WoW is the perfect and safest place for that. The online shop offers full service package just with a few clicks. The website provides customers with clear information, pays attention to the market demands and renders the effortless possibility of online shopping, online paying and online planning for the assembling/mounting services. The hallmark of the website is the search function, which helps the visitor to easily search and match the right vehicle wheels.
WoW works to please its customers by offering them a complete expertise, wide-range support and rim purchase assistance. Our challenge was to build a functional and visual unity by integrating an online shop payment system module with a car gallery where the customers can select by brand and type of the vehicle the befitting rims for their cars. The “wheels” had to be put in motion also for the iPhone/iPad version, so we’ve worked to find a proper way to manage the limited memory resources and to optimize pieces of required information in order to keep the functionalities at their full capacity for a complete mobile satisfaction. The structure of the site is built as a showroom and these features give visitors the familiar feeling they were accustomed with.

Do you simply hate testing your sugar or injecting insulin because the thought of using another needle is unbearable? You are not alone. Many people newly diagnosed with diabetes or those who have had diabetes for a long time, do not like needles. In fact, some even have a needle phobia. Needle phobia is defined as an irrational fear of needles, which is exaggerated and cannot usually be explained. Some studies suggest that about 10% of the general population has a needle phobia.
If you are someone with diabetes and experience needle fear, then you should look into tools and devices that can help to ease your fear. Unfortunately, people with diabetes may not be able to avoid needles altogether, but today's technology has simplified things.
The lancets of today (needles used to test blood sugar) are very thin and short which make testing easier. Settings on lancing devices can also be lowered to reduce how deeply the needle penetrates the skin, which can help to ease the pain. There are a few devices where you don't see the needle at all. For example, the Accu-check® Fastclix lancing device enables you to load a drum with 6 pre-loaded lancets. You do not need to see or handle any lancets. It also has 11 depth settings for different skin types and comfort.
The thinnest lancet gauge you can find is 33g. The lower the number, the thicker the needle. Some lancing devices that come with 33g needles include:
BD Ultra Fine 33g lancets (compatible with most lancing devices). The caveat is that these needles must be used with meters requiring, 1.0uL or less blood. Ask your Certified Diabetes Educator which meter would work for you.
Alternate site testing (such as the palm and the forearm) may ease your fear of needles because some people believe that alternate site testing is less painful. There are times when alternate site testing is not recommended, such as when you have low blood sugar, after exercise, or if you have hypoglycemia unawareness, etc. The reason for this is that alternate site testing gives you a delayed blood sugar result. Always ask a health care professional first if you can use alternate site testing.
Lancing devices that come with clear caps typically work in combination with their partner meters.To find out which meters are approved by the FDA for an alternate site testing check with the specific company or package insert. Most meters today offer alternate site testing. For more information on how to reduce pain when testing your blood sugars.
There are several tools on the market that can help to ease fear during insulin injections. Most tools require a prescription. Ask your health care professional if you have any questions regarding these products. Some of these tools include:
Inject-Ease®: Inject-Ease works was designed to work with BD syringes. The inject ease device completely hides the syringe and needle.
AutoShield™ Duo Pen Needle: Made to avoid accidental sticks during administration and disposal of insulin pens, this might an option for you if you do not want to deal with handling needles. The auto shield covers the pen needle with a clear plastic cover so that the needle is never fully exposed. The pen needles are 5mm and 30g and are compatible with most pens on the market.
Infulson™ IntraPump Infusion Systems: The patch-like device is inserted into the skin, leaving a soft cannula under the skin. It is held in place by an adhesive with a built-in see-through window to allow visual inspection of the injection site. Insulin injections are made into the plastic tube that lies flat against the skin. The infusion system must be changed every 3 days and the sites should be rotated. You must use a needle to insert the cannula - if this is something you have trouble with then this tool may not be right for you.

Having completed various restoration works here with our sister company Clark Stonemasonry, our client was keen to see the transformation we could make using our cleaning systems.
We used a superheated steam treatment at 155 degrees to effectively remove layers of moss from natural sandstone boundary walls without the need for any chemicals. This process kills any spores or bacteria on contact due to the high temperature which greatly increases the time it takes for moss to grow again.
Before I even begin writing this review, let me tell you, the glorious reader, about my two beliefs concerning fantasy novels.
First, there is such a thing as sappy fantasy In fact, there are so many sappy fantasy novels that it could be called a genre unto itself Sappy fantasy can usually be recognized only by a true fantasy connoisseur, such as myself; however, there are a few defining marks: 1) the main characters of sappy fantasy novels are always beautiful or handsome; 2) elements (such as orcs, goblins, elves, the "Gift," etc.) are stolen from other true fantasy novels and are entwined into the literature.
My second belief is that you can always tell how good a fantasy novel will be by reading the first paragraph. If the book starts out by describing (a) the sunrise/the sunset, (b) a woman who is not the main character, or (c) clothing, 99 percent of the time, the book will be a sappy fantasy story
Unlike books such as Eragon (and now, Eldest) or the Alanna series, which perch precariously upon the brink of the cliff which leads down into the cavern of sappy fantasy, The Waterless Sea sits far removed in a secluded hamlet in the realm of true fantasy—a realm which is steadily shrinking.
Kate Constable's characters are bold and daring, yet not without weakness. One of the book's main characters, Darrow, is deathly afraid of the responsibilities of leadership, mainly to try and prove to himself that he is not who his former-friend-now-archenemy, Samis, claims he is—a man hungry for power, a cohort in Samis's quest to conquer the land of Tremaris.
Yet the character who intrigues me the most is not Darrow, for all of his quiet strength. I am most interested instead by Calwyn, a young girl who grew up on a sheltered mountainside, yet who always dreamed of adventure. In this way, both Calwyn and I are alike. My home is an idyllic place—quiet, peaceful, and really very boring. I dream of traveling and going beyond just what I can see by taking the bus or walking out my front door.
Just like Calwyn is, however, I fear that I will be disappointed by what I fmd there, wherever "there" may be. Calwyn dreams of the world as an exhilarating adventure abounding with opportunity and hope. What she finds is a sullen, twisted, reproduction of the world that existed in her imagination—where she is hated and despised for her ability to sing the ancient magic instead of loved and respected, where women are downtrodden and meek instead of considered men's equals, where the rulers are corrupt and greedy while the poor starve in the grimy coastal towns.
I fear that something like the disappointment that Calwyn went through will also happen to me . . . instead of the lush jungles that I imagined I will find burning stumps of trees; instead of soaring towers and turrets of ancient castles, I'll find swarming tourists and graffiti. Perhaps I am too naive in my assumption that everything beautiful will stay as it is . . . but at least to protect the dreams of children we should be making more of an effort to make that which is beautiful also permanent.

تفسیرگرایی حقوقی رونالد دورکین دارای مؤلفههایی است که میتواند توأمان نقطۀ قوت نظریۀ او و نقطۀ ضعف آن باشد. اصلیترینِ این مؤلفهها مفهوم «صعود نظری» در نظام فلسفی اوست. او با پیش کشیدن این مفهوم بنیان بسیاری از نظریههای پراگماتیستی را، به ویژه در فلسفۀ اخلاق و فلسفۀ حقوق، نشانه میرود. از سوی دیگر، آمیختگیِ این مفهوم با فرضهای متافیزیکی گرانبار، خودِ این مفهوم را در برابر انتقادهای پراگماتیستی آسیبپذیر میکند. در این جستار، دو هدف عمده را دنبال میکنم: 1) خواهم کوشید با زدودن این فرضهای متافیزیکی، نظریۀ او را با رویّههای عملی قضات و حقوقدانانْ همخوانتر و بدین طریق کارایی آن را بیشتر کنم؛ 2) نشان دهم که تفسیرگرایی او با تکیه بر مفهوم «صعود نظری»، به شرط کاستن از تضمنات متافیزیکی، نقش نظریه را در رویّۀ حقوقی بهتر از نظریههای پراگماتیستی نشان میدهد. به تعبیری، نشان خواهم داد که تعدیلی از هر دو سو، یعنی از سوی تفسیرگرایی حقوقی و پراگماتیسم حقوقی، ما را به سمت نظریۀ حقوقی جامعتری سوق خواهد داد که هم حق «بُعد نظری» در رویّههای حقوقی حقوقدانان و قضات ادا شود و هم حق استلزامات جزئینگرِ رویّههای حقوقی.
Ronald Dworkin's Legal interpretivism is one of the main schools in the contemporary philosophy of law, initiating in-depth discussions with other legal schools, including legal pragmatism. In this essay, I shall begin by describing the outlines of this theory under three titles named (1) "four steps in working out a legal theory", (2) "assumption of Judge Hercules" and (3) "law as integrity". Then some merits of this theory will be examined, such as (1) proving conclusively the indispensable theoretical ascent in resolving legal dilemmas, (2) having a clear and systematic method, and (3) the ability to have a reflective, critical attitude to legal conventions, a feature that is missing in contextual theories such as legal positivism and legal pragmatism. Then, in the light of pragmatic criticisms, I shall turn to its demerits which mainly are, in my view, (1) metaphysically overloaded assumptions, (2) uselessness and dispensability of the assumption of Judge Hercules, and (3) unnecessary overemphasis on strict integrity in the process of interpreting the law. Through these assessments, I would show that if some superfluous assumptions are removed from Dworkin's theory, it might become more consistent with ordinary practices of judges and lawyers on the one hand, and more immune to pragmatist criticisms on the other hand.
Main elements of Dworkin's legal interpretivism
Dworkin regards law as an interpretive concept that always leads us to a reflective, argumentative process in order to find out what this or that statute or constitutional clause would require in a legal dilemma. This means that a lawyer or a judge is, in fact, an interpreter who cannot ascertain what the law demands on an occasion unless he reflectively discovers the intention underlying the positive rules of law. According to Dworkin, the main guidelines in this interpretive procedure consist of the established legal texts (constitution, statutes, precedent, and, in general, legal convention) on the one hand and principles embedded in these legal practices on the other hand. Dworkin invents an imaginary superhuman judge, called Hercules, gifted with extra natural capacities of knowledge and rational argumentation. There is always a single right answer in every legal dilemma or, as he called it, in every hard case in which Judge Hercules is able to find it out. In order to ascertain that, he has to uncover the intentions or purposes underlying constitutional clauses or statutes by asking himself what scheme of principles has been settled by people or their law-givers. In so doing, he cannot help but suppose that the system of laws has been passed by a community of a coherent, integrated personality, called "community personified". Thus, having in mind the principle of "law as integrity", Judge Hercules could go up the ladder of "theoretical ascent" from low-level, particular hard cases of legal dilemmas to high-level, inclusive moral and political theories, a process finally results in uncovering the single right answer.
Though ordinary lawyers and judges are not Hercules and, therefore, not equipped with his supernatural endowments, the procedure of reflective argumentation in both cases is one and the same; in other words, lawyers and judges would not resolve legal dilemmas unless they go up this theoretical ladder and find out the single right answer by examining original intentions of law-givers with the aid of moral, political theories behind their system of legislations and embedded in their positive legal practices.
Merits of Dworkin's interpretivism
In the second chapter, I shall point out some advantages of Dworkin's legal theory, compared to its pragmatist rivals. First of all, interpretivism could show the indispensability of theoretical ascent in every serious legal activity. While many pragmatist legal philosophers, such as Richard Posner and Cass Sunstein, underestimate the contribution of inclusive moral and political theories to legal practices, Dworkin argues that so-called pragmatic instructions, such as means-ends calculation or mere analogy, would not be useful in legal reasoning without having a theory to which means-ends calculation or analogy usefully attached.
Secondly, utilizing some ideas of John Rawls in A Theory of Justice, I shall argue that Dworkin's interpretivism, with its constructive assumptions of "law as integrity" and "theoretical ascent", satisfies the two standards of "clarity and system" of which a successful theory should not fall short.
Finally, interpretivism does better justice to the reflective nature of legal reasoning, compared to contextualist legal theories, including pragmatism, which reduce law and its related institutions to unexamined practices and conventions, thereby depriving ordinary lawyers and judges of any critical attitude towards legal practices.
Disadvantages of Dworkin's interpretivism
In the third chapter, I shall focus on demerits of Dworkin's interpretivism and try to strengthen it by removing some of its, in my view, superfluous assumptions. First of all, I would argue that it is a metaphysically overloaded assumption that there is a single right answer in every legal dilemma. Dworkin's interpretivism will work as well without this problematic presupposition. Using a Wittgensteinian metaphor, it might be said that this assumption is a wheel that though might be turned, nothing else moves with it; So it plays no part in the mechanism of interpretive legal reasoning. The second assumption Dworkin's legal theory would better get rid of is Judge Hercules. I would argue that Judge Hercules' supernatural capacities inevitably makes him an inappropriate pattern for ordinary lawyers and judges.
Finally, I shall argue that since legal practices are inevitably subject to historical contingencies, the integrity of a community which is to be considered as a unified, integrated person (community personified) in the process of theoretical ascent, should not be taken strictly as such. In my view, in order to take account of discontinuity of communal identity in the history of society and the disruptions between its generations, it is important to take the integrity of law as a fluid, flexible one. However, the metaphysical assumptions of "the existence of a single right answer and Judge Hercules" appears to be inconsistent with this requirement.
On the one hand, Dworkin's convincing arguments for theorization in the everyday practices, in my view, clearly expose the significant theoretical void in legal pragmatism. On the other hand, from a pragmatic point of view, it could be shown that some metaphysical assumptions in Dworkin's interpretivism might be usefully removed without causing any harm to the total system of interpretivism. Thus, having to get rid of these superfluous presuppositions, Dworkin's interpretivism might be more immune to pragmatist criticisms and more practicable for ordinary legal practitioners at the same time.

Assistant professor, Department of Philosophy, Shahid Beheshti University
Ronald Dworkin's interpretivism contains significant elements which might be both regarded as advantages and disadvantages of this legal theory. Among them, the main one is the concept of "theoretical ascent". He deliberately targets many pragmatist theories, especially in moral and legal philosophy, with the aid of this concept. On the other hand, this concept, overloaded with metaphysical presuppositions, is highly susceptible to well-known pragmatistic criticisms. So, in this essay, I shall follow two main objectives: 1) I would try to remove superfluous, metaphysical assumptions from his legal theory and adjust it finely to everyday practices of judges and lawyers, thereby increasing its practicality; 2) I would try to show that his interpretivism, grounded on the concept of "theoretical ascent", could better explain the significant contribution of "theorization" to legal practices, compared to pragmatistic explanations, provided it reduces its notorious metaphysical connotations. In other words, I shall argue that an adjustment on both sides in this conflict say, at the parts of legal interpretivism and legal pragmatism, would lead us to a more inclusive legal theory which does better justice to both "theoretical and practical aspects" of legal practices in everyday life.

Busy Times in the Radonova Lab – Nearly 30,000 Detectors Analyzed in One Week - Radonova
By Daniel Roak | June 17, 2019 | Leave a Comment Radonova News
May always equates to a seasonal peak for Radonova. This year, the world's leading radon laboratory beat previous records for the number of detectors analyzed in one week. Oscar Wännerud who is responsible for Radonova's laboratory, comments on the season high:
– In May, we enter our most intensive period when it comes to incoming deliveries of radon detectors. In many countries, the radon measurement season ends at the end of April, resulting in a peak of incoming detectors. This year we peaked in the third week of May when we analyzed a total of 29,626 detectors. It is a historical record for Radonova and another acknowledgment that we are the world leader in radon measurement and analysis.
Maintaining quality standards and rapid analysis in the face of increased digitization
– One of the biggest challenges during this part of the season is to keep the analysis time down. This was achieved even though there were huge volume pressures on the laboratory. It's worth stating that customers should register their information via My pages. By doing so, they are guaranteed to get the shortest possible analysis time.
– At our laboratory we have a committed and competent workforce with extensive experience in the radon industry, increased digitization and automation means that we are scaling-up our operations but never at the expense of quality.
– As a service we are constantly evolving and questioning established routines. We believe it is always possible to improve processes to ensure smoother operations.
The significance of new legislation
Since the EU's new Radiation Protection Directive (2013/59/Euratom) began to be applied in 2018, Europe's employers have become responsible for controlling the radon content in workplaces.
– We have seen a clear increase in the number of companies measuring radon in the work environment. Given the health risks that elevated radon levels causes, it feels good to be part of a team that is ensuring that fewer people are exposed to high radon levels. Remember it is easy to measure radon, both for private individuals and employers. Our customer service team is always keen to speak to anyone who has questions or is uncertain about how to go about conducting a test.

Sun in Leo — Rising in Aquarius
The character of a man with the Sun in Leo and the Ascendant in Aquarius seems constantly tense. They are always energetic, and always authoritative. These are the bosses, of whom you never know what they want; They, in fact, do not know this themselves, they need only shine and amaze. They strongly depend on the response of others, so that their reaction is sudden and usually different from what is expected.
Going with them somewhere, you never know where you're going. Having come with them to drink a glass of beer, you can get a royal treat; When you get together with them on a trip abroad, you can be in a dense forest. But they lead with such confidence that they are following their whims, and are rightly doing, because as a rule they have a wonderful flair.
With them it is difficult, but they themselves are exhausted because of constant tension, so they should monitor their health. But they recover very quickly, finding themselves somewhere a miracle doctor with a medicine ready for them. And again they are on their feet! Leos with an Ascendant in Aquarius are always starting something new, this is due to their constant impressions. Having seen the dilapidated outskirts of a city, they begin to shout about the need for full renewal.
After experiencing social disasters, they begin to advocate for justice and put everything in motion. But — until the next impression! The last impression is always the strongest, they can not concentrate. They rather give an impetus to push, rather than themselves carry out something. But motivation is their real business.
♌ Leo Sun ☉ — ♒ Aquarius Rising ☆
If anyone has to learn the art of giving and receiving, it's you. You are able to enter into the position of another person and offer practical help. You never panic, so you are simply irreplaceable in critical situations. You are such a humane person that, although you care about individual people, never miss the opportunity to support any campaign under the slogans of improving the living conditions for all humanity. You are very good at working with a partner, and it is this style of work that will ensure your success, although you are sometimes inclined to claim a dominant role.
In society, you behave much more modestly than a regular Leo. You feel uncomfortable, attending major official events, and prefer small groups where you can communicate on a more intellectual level than just social talk. You are quick-tempered, but quick-witted and not rancorous. You have a strong will, you are not afraid of difficulties. You are very fond of the movement and on the slightest occasion make short trips. Your father may be engaged in agriculture, trade, cattle breeding, and he may have poor health. Probably, you will make business trips related to property, family or your father who can live abroad. It is likely that you will spend the last years of your life abroad.
Leo and Aquarius are signs that give a person excessive self-confidence and obstinacy, so you are characterized by both these extremes. You hate change, because you can not adapt to it, and try to hold onto the habitual way of life by all means. Even if you admit that you are guilty, then do not move a finger to try to change something. You are almost as flexible as the mold for casting metal. You are only interested in your problems and ambitions, and all around you see only in black and white, without any halftones. You cling to relationships that have long outlived themselves, simply out of fear of suspense. You are the worst type of fanatic and too insensitive to realize what impression others are making on your attempts to impose their views on them.
You are friendly towards everyone and therefore give the impression of a non-permanent and independent person. It is not so, you are an idealist, constantly looking for a person close to you in spirit. Your quest makes you come into contact with many people. You are able to show strong affection and love for the rest of your life. You will certainly marry, perhaps at an early age. Your spouse will come from a good family, or it will be a person from the art world. Married life will be long and happy. You can succeed by inheriting, relatives can help you, or your spouse will be rich. You will have few children (twins may be born), but with them there will be many problems, especially with the first-born. For them you will travel a lot.
You have a scientific mindset, you are interested in new inventions and discoveries. Your observation allows you to make almost brilliant conclusions, and you show a deep interest in human behavior. You can make a good speaker, writer, scientist or inventor. You have a penchant for philosophy, music and theater. You may well have two sources of income, and your work can be of a secret nature.
In general, you have good health, although you can suffer difficult to diagnose nervous diseases. You do not abuse your body, but although your mental activity is great, you have a dislike for physical exercises. Health problems are likely to be associated with calves and ankles, blood vessels, lymph glands.

This picture illustrates the range of swells directed at Bouncer Beach through an average northern hemisphere autumn, based on 8724 NWW3 model predictions since 2006 (values every 3 hours). The wave model does not forecast wind or surf right at the coast so we have chosen the most applicable grid node based on what we know about Bouncer Beach. In this particular case the best grid node is 41 km away (25 miles).
The rose diagram shows the distribution of swell directions and swell sizes, while the graph at the bottom shows the same thing but without direction information. Five colours represent increasing wave sizes. Very small swells of less than 0.5m (1.5 feet) high are shown in blue. These happened only 82% of the time. Green and yellow illustrate increasing swell sizes and red illustrates largest swells greater than >3m (>10ft). In either graph, the area of any colour is proportional to how frequently that size swell occurs.
The diagram suggests that the dominant swell direction, shown by the biggest spokes, was SSW, whereas the the most common wind blows from the S. Because the wave model grid is offshore, sometimes a strong offshore wind blows largest waves away from Bouncer Beach and away from the coast. We lump these in with the no surf category of the bar chart. To keep it simple we don't show these in the rose graph. Because wind determines whether or not waves are surfable at Bouncer Beach, you can view an alternative image that shows only the swells that were expected to coincide with glassy or offshore wind conditions. In a typical northern hemisphere autumn, swells large enough to cause good for surfing waves at Bouncer Beach run for about 18% of the time.

Please post your P47 gun convergence settings. [Archive] - Ubisoft Forums
Ubisoft Forums > 1C:Maddox Games > IL2 Maddox General Discussion > Please post your P47 gun convergence settings.
View Full Version : Please post your P47 gun convergence settings.
Fellow Jugheads,
The sweet spot of .50 cal convergence needs to be found. I have read that some have success with 180, 200, 350, etc.
I find that 400-500 works best since the big ol' girl is a little slower than those late model German hot rods. I never seem to get up close and personal so 400-500 lets you reach out and touch someone. Maybe Oleg has left us a hint since all planes default to 500 out of the box.
Please post and maybe we can come up with a setting that offers the most success.
300m at start of firing, 190 explodes at 200m after 3 seconds (when u can manage to stay on tgt). The 109 is shredded and explodes faster. Aim for behind the cockpit. Helps to have a slight Rt rudder when firing to offset the nose tracking left. Seen it, done it.
200 meters for me.
300m for me. Most of the rest of our group is somewhere between 200 and 400m. Its a matter of personal taste and combat tactics.
Real life, the guns were set for between 250yd and 350 yd.
I was using 161.8 & was realy shreding ac when I could get that close.
since its about 2 times out of ten I backed it off too 180 for a while didnt see much improvment so Im @ 200 now and probly gona stay there.
to help offset the ac give 2 taps on right aleron trim & 1 on right rudder trim /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-tongue.gif

I'm at 275 meters for my machine guns and 300 meters for my cannons. I've tried lower settings on the P47 but since I usually don't get close enough I can't score any killing blows at closer range.
The other problem is that the P47's guns (and rightly so) are further apart on the wings than most other aircraft. A Bf 109 for instance can sneak through inbetween your shots depending on the positions you have when shooting.
I think the P51's tighter arrangement may boost some peoples impressions of the .50 cals and allow people to find a better convergence. And then there is the P38 that doesn't even need convergence really...those will pack a good punch.
I just tested 274.4 it worked well... Flamed an la7 with a hard 2 second burst
Well ya, a sweet spot is very important.
I know you guy's have your own preferances but a 50cal mg gun was only realy efective up to 200m in real life.
Last week i changed my convergence from 300m to 250m. i usualy start to fire at 300m. Well i notice now the BF's dont last very long if i can keep firing until i reach 200m.
Im thinking of changing the convergence again to 200m. actualy i think i will. Ill start firing at 250m and seee what happens.
Umm, sorry for rambling.
361st_Maple Tiger
- 200m for one set of MGs and 100m for the other.
I used the same with good success.
set 'em for 3000m that way the bullets will be spent when they hit my 109 /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif
150-250m/i/smilies/16x16_robot-happy.gif
- 700 and deflection, get on their 6 and it will cut
- both wings or twin engines up nicely
haha, 700? when should we start firing?
100 meters. Start spraying from 200 meters if carrying extra ammo and if at high speed. One short burst will annihilate anything (except Tigers ;-)
Most people complaining about "ineffectivity" of the .50's don't realize that the enemy will be crippled beyond recognition even if he or she does not immediately explode like the Oleg-modelled 109's.
I set mine at 180, I have tremendously destructive effects on other planes.
Like most of you, I also set my convergence at 300m for the Jug, and for most other planes. Wing guns won't ever do as much concentrated damage up close at that setting, but there's a reason I use it. Since I only play coops or offline, some of my opponents are going to be AIs. Since AIs have eyes in the back of their heads and can't be surprised, I open up at medium range. This is sufficient to down Bf109s, but Fw190s are tough to bring down now.
If I'm attacking ground targets, I set guns to 500m.
i find 300 for one set and 100 for the other set works good, open fire when one set is in range then finish em as u close with the other set
185 works best for me online,
I find 300m gives good results while still alowing manouvering distance.
I've read before up to 600+ on American planes.
In theory when the bullet travels lets say 400M it has lost half of its energy when it hits the target as opposed to a hit at 200M, so get up close and let it rip./i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif

Constellations - Lot 41
Portfolio including a colour lithograph on wove paper with watermark "ARCHES" Colour lithograph 29.9 x 23.8 cm (43.4 x 35.5 cm) The colour lithograph signed and numbered, the portfolio signed and typographically numbered in the imprint by Joan Miró and André Breton. Together with text sheets with 22 poems in prose by André Breton, preface, title sheet and imprint as well as 22 pochoirs after gouaches from the series "Constellations" by Joan Miró, these inlaid in printed cover sheets and with index. As loose sheets resp. double sheets in original printed paper cover. In original printed canvas slipcase (38 x 47 x 5 cm). Copy 294 from a total edition of 350 copies. Printed by Mourlot Frères, Paris, published by Pierre Matisse, New York 1959. - In fine condition with fresh colours, the paper minimally browned.
Joan Miró used the title "Constellations" to group together a series of small-format gouaches which he created in Mont-roig del Camp and Palma in 1940 and 1941. The ensemble of these cosmic compositions - with their fantastic figurations, bodies and stars - are one of the artist's central complexes of works and decisively influenced the response to his work in Europe and America.
In early 1945 Miró's constellations were the first European pictures to be shown after the Second World War at the Pierre Matisse Gallery in New York, where they drew a great deal of attention. It is not surprising that Miró's all-over compositions featuring an extreme diversity of colours and forms as well as his occupation with variation and seriality had a major influence on the artists of the New York School, such as Jackson Pollock.
The suite "Constellations" presented here, which was published somewhat later, further underscores the serial character of this group of works through their combination. Together with its texts by André Breton, it is among the artist's most sought-after portfolio works.

Fedrigo wins fourth career Tour stage as Wiggins defends yellow – VeloNews.com
Fedrigo wins fourth career Tour stage as Wiggins defends yellow
Vande Velde second from six-man breakaway after ferocious opening hour
Pierrick Fedrigo wins on stage 15 of the 2012 Tour de France. Photo: Graham Watson | www.grahamwatson.com
PAU, France (AFP) — French rider Pierrick Fedrigo (FDJ-BigMat) gave the hosts their fourth win of the Tour de France when he beat American Christian Vande Velde (Garmin-Sharp) to win the 158.5km 15th stage between Samatan and Pau on Monday.
Race leader Bradley Wiggins (Sky) and the main peloton came over the finish line nearly 12 minutes behind a six-man breakaway that had fought hard to form in a frantic opening to the race.
Wiggins, who took the race lead at the end of stage 7, came under no threat during the undulating stage from the Gers department to the foot of the Pyrénées, where the peloton will spend the race's second rest day Tuesday.
The Team Sky leader still has a 2:05 lead over teammate Chris Froome, with Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas-Cannondale) in third at 2:23 and Cadel Evans (BMC Racing) fourth at 3:19.
On what was one of the last chances for the sprinters to shine on a flat finish, it became clear that the yellow jersey takes precedence for Wiggins' Sky team. After a blistering opening 90 minutes, Sky and backed off and allowed the six-man breakaway to go up the road, taking a maximum advantage of more than 12 minutes. Asked why Sky had not helped the other sprinters' teams to form an effective chase, world champion Mark Cavendish snapped: "It wasn't flat. There were 2000 meters of climbing in 150km!
"GreenEdge … said they didn't want to ride today. Lotto initially said they didn't want to ride and after the feed they put two riders up to ride, so we had four.
"Then we made the decision that with four guys chasing six in front we were never going to get it back quick enough on those roads, because it was so up and down. So we shut it down and then Lotto soon shut it down. So that was the end of that."
It left the six-man group, which contained another two Frenchmen in Europcar's Thomas Voeckler and Samuel Dumoulin of Cofidis, to ride into Pau unhindered.
Fedrigo attacked with 6.5km remaining and when Vande Velde caught on, the pair rode away from Voeckler, Dumoulin, Nicki Sørensen (Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank) and Dries Devenyns (Omega Pharma-Quick Step). Vande Velde followed the Frenchman into the finish straight, but couldn't come around in the two-up sprint. It was Fedrigo's fourth career victory in the Tour, but first since 2010 and his return to cycling after a six-month spell on the sidelines. It is also the second for his FDJ team after Thibaut Pinot won stage 8 in Porrentruy, Switzerland.
"It's unbelievable," said Fedrigo, whose last win on the race was in Pau in 2010. "The last time I won on the Tour was here. When you're racing the Tour, you need luck. And some days you just get the feeling it can be your day.
After that 2010 victory, the Frenchman — who is a keen hunter — came down with Lyme's disease, keeping him off the Tour and off the bike for six months.
The race resumes Wednesday when the mountainous 197km 16th stage takes the peloton over two hors categorie and two Cat. 1 climbs to a downhill finish in Bagneres-de-Luchon.

Paying for the packaging
Written By: Tiang Chuan on September 24, 2008 No Comment
When deciding what brand of buying cookies to buy, do you find yourself going for the one with nicer and more expensive-looking packaging if you have no preferred brand? This is normal. The nice picture, the nice texture of the packaging and the exotic name gives us a impression of a delicious cookie. Well, behind that packaging could be cookies made with milk tainted with melamine. The financial industry faces the same problem of 'toxic' stuff in nice packaging.
The recent problems facing Lehman Brothers Minibonds, DBS High Notes and Merrill Lynch Jubilee Notes are examples of financial products having nice packaging. Under these 'safe' notes are complex structured products that might result in investors losing the capital. However, they were packaged as safe bond like instruments giving good 'coupons'. Why call them Minibonds when they are not bonds? Junk bonds, which are below investment grade bonds, are now called high-yield bonds!
Some insurance products are packaged way to nice too. Policies that sell using the notion of having exciting returns from investments, retirement plans sold as fixed deposits with guaranteed returns after a number of years, saving plans that gives you a guaranteed cashback every year.
Good products are often simple, easy to understand and un-exciting. When your adviser recommend products that does not look and sound exciting, he or she may be introducing you the good ones. Nice packaging does not mean quality. Quality products does not mean they must have nice packaging.

2019 Toyota 4runner Release Date and Price | Auto Toyota Review
Home » 2019 » 4RUNNER » 2019 Toyota 4runner Release Date and Price
2019 Toyota 4runner Release Date and Price-- The hunger for experience is hardwired into our DNA. It forces us to search out new domains, go up against the world's hardest trails and carry on with the life that moves the world's most noteworthy open air fire stories. That is the reason we designed the 2018 Toyota 4Runner to be one of the hardest SUVs on the planet. With its demonstrated body-on-outline stage, intense V6 motor and propelled territory vanquishing advances, this SUV conveys a definitive in rough terrain ability. The accessible Entune Premium Audio with Integrated Navigation and App Suite conveys tech to each excursion; while the extensive, all around delegated inside guarantees that you and your group will touch base to the campground in style. So regardless of where your undertakings may take you, 4Runner guarantees that you can simply keep it wild.
Nothing has been certified yet, and we haven't seen any government operative shots of the Toyota 4Runner 2019, however all around, we trust that Toyota 4Runner will show up the 2019 4Runner in the early bit of 2018 at one of the more noteworthy auto presentations, at that point it will hit the dealerships toward the complete of 2018, perhaps as late as September, without a minute to extra to be badged as the 2019 model.
4Runner joins tough body-on-outline development and is outfitted with slip plates to help ensure the motor, front suspension and fuel tank (and the exchange case on 4x4 models). Including free twofold wishbone front/4-connection and curl spring back suspension, 4Runner's case is a period tried mix that is sufficiently intense for the trail, sufficiently smooth for the city.
Investigating the immense obscure requires an extraordinary measure of room for organization or load. 4Runner's open inside seats up to seven travelers and has a lot of highlights to keep everybody agreeable regardless of to what extent the adventure, similar to front and back 12V electrical plugs for charging individual hardware, an assortment of capacity choices, and accessible power-customizable driver and front traveler seats.
Toyota Racing Development (TRD) has been helping aficionados get more execution from their Toyotas for more than 35 years. We've helped control everything from 200-mph race autos to title winning rough terrain machines. We utilized this designing skill to make our hardest SUV yet — the 2018 4Runner TRD Pro, which has the merchandise to enable you to get to those distant corners of the guide. We're talking segments like substantial obligation rough terrain TRD Bilstein® suspension, earth tearing tires and a ¼-in.- thick aluminum slide plate to help protection this SUV against nature's harshest components. It's altogether wrapped in a forceful outside that resembles nothing else out and about, or in nature. Your undertakings are going to get a mess more great. We should get filthy.
Get snappy access to your rigging, or the cooler. The accessible sliding raise load deck can bolster up to 440 lbs.36 and slides for an simple reach to your rigging, or a speedy setup before going to the extraordinary outside.
We trust that the Toyota will remain concentrated, so this should mean a starting expense of around $34,410 for the base model, the totally stacked pennant send should be closer to $50,000.
Styling canny, the Toyota 4Runner will get several updates. In particular, it is felt that we will see updated and overhauled LED lighting at both the front and back, many watchmen and clearly, a restyled front grille - all giving the 2019 4Runner another look stood out from the precursor.
Plan to see a practically identical cabin (styling shrewd) however with updated and higher quality finishing trims, giving the nearness of significant worth rather than ratty plastics.
We trust that Toyota 4Runner 2019 will lose the out of date 4.0 V6 from the lineup - it just fundamentally isn't adequately capable for the time being's business sector, so everything considered we'll see a really suctioned 4 liter V6 with around 270 hp and 278 lb/ft of torque - enough for most conditions, even in a vehicle this size.
The engine will be coupled to a 6-speed auto transmission and will drive the back wheels as standard with a plausibility of turning each one of the four wheels for when the going gets fairly harder. In an offer to upgrade gas mileage, it is envisioned that the 4 Runner will in like manner shed some weight, by virtue of better advancement materials used as a piece of the body and case.

If you do decide to start a business, you'll want to put together a business plan that outlines your costs (including paying yourself a decent hourly wage and overhead like a business license and liability insurance) as well as your pricing based on both the market value in your area and your cost structure.

Hotel Suites Amberes Reviews
Amberes No 64, Mexico City, DF, 06600
More a residence than a room
Posted Mar 17, 2017 Cons: Wi-Fi spotty. Hotel staff could not post mail. From happy hour till late, thumping bass from nightclub across the street audible in living area.
The sprawling premises are much larger than needed for any single traveler or unestranged couple. Most everything works, though the facilities have begun to show their age. One of these suites would be fitting as a base for a long-term stay or business meetings, provided that it looks out onto the back of the hotel; street-facing suites are exposed to thumping nightclub music beginning in late afternoon.
If you like Zona Rosa, this is the hotel for you.
Posted Mar 12, 2017 Pros: Very large rooms. Indeed they are all suites.
Cons: Beds are getting a bit old.
Location: Close to Reforma and Insurgentes. Steps from good restaurants.
I have stayed at this hotel half a dozen times. Well located and very large rooms, the hotel offers a great deal. If you travel accompanied it is even a better deal. The rooms are well appointed. Great Staff.
Posted Mar 10, 2017 Pros: The big suites. I loved having so much space when travelling with friends. Cons: The shower could use a little better clean up, but overall the bathroom was very clean and stocked every day.
Location: There are a lot of shops around, restaurants, and clubs. I did't like the clubs, but it could be your taste. The coffee shops around were great. Like many other reviews has stated before, at night the street can be loud. We didn't encounter any problems at night. In the morning the area around the hotel is very busy and it has many things to walk around to like great coffee shops and restaurants. This area is like San Francisco Castro District, so there are a lot of gay friendly bars and shops. The hotel and stuff was great. One or two people from staff were kinda of moody, but never refused to help which is nothing out of the ordinary. Our room was in the back of the hotel, so we had no loud noise at night at all. The receptionist arranged a taxi to take us to Teotihuacan and it was an excellent service, more than we could ask for. 4 out of 5

Breakfast was good. All staff we encountered were pleasant and helpful. The suite was huge. The balcony was really nice and allowed us a place to sit and watch the activity parade by. 5 out of 5
Very nice stay. The staff is very accommodating. Also, two rooms is a big plus. We travelled with our teenage daughter and it allowed everybody more privacy. Breakfast is very good too. It is cooked to order with health options and local flair. Overall, great experience.
Hotel looks Beautiful, But FALLS VERY SHORT.
I wouldn't recommend this hotel to english "only" speaking persons. This hotel offered only ONE (FLUENT) english Speaking person at the front desk and only ONE (FLUENT) english person in the Restaurant. This hotel has a guest visitors policy that I believe, is for the BENIFIT of the Hotel Management instead of being for the BENIFIT of the "PAYING" Hotel GUEST(S). This Hotel restricts the "Visitors" of "PAYING" Hotel Guest(s) to 9:00Pm. This hotel restricts bathe towel usage to 3 per day. In the bathroom, there were ANTS and very was low water pressure in the shower. I would NEVER recommend this HOTEL.

Yesterday, Ben Crane debuted his latest witty golf video titled "Fame" on Morning Drive. At first, I wasn't going to post it because more and more oobers are growing tired of Ben and his video series. But, on second thought, I decided to post it because it's actually funny. Give Ben another try, won't you? He just wants you to like him.

LASIEC Introduce Election Support Center – Independent Newspaper Nigeria
LASIEC Introduce Election Support Center
By Seyi Taiwo-Oguntuase On Jul 21, 2017
Lagos – Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) has introduced election support Centre at the headquarters of the commission to enhance the electoral process and ensure effective monitoring and feedback mechanism.
Justice Ayotunde Philips Chairman LASIEC made this known on Friday while addressing newsmen ahead of the state's local government election holding tomorrow.
She said through the facility the commission will be able to monitor whatever is going on in the field from the headquarters.
According to her there is no doubt that the election are very competitive. "I am happy about this because it is good for democracy. It gives the commission an assurance that democracy at the local government level of the state is being consolidated.
"I see this as a positive development because the commission has always canvassed for a truly participatory democracy where the people, the electorate have a wide range of choices of political parties and candidates to decide on which party or person to support and vote into elective political office.

LONDON — While officials in Brussels were calling for Europe to reduce its dependency on Russian natural gas and negotiate with Moscow as a bloc, Austria was quietly bypassing the European Commission to cut its own bilateral deal on building a pipeline.
The deal on the South Stream pipeline, which will be built under the Black Sea to Bulgaria and on to other parts of Europe, shows the European Union's inability to create a unified energy policy on Moscow during the Ukraine crisis.
While EU officials are calling for Europe to wean itself off Russian gas, private and state-owned firms, with the support of politicians, are pushing ahead with projects to buy even more.
Austrian energy firm OMV agreed last week with Russia's state-controlled Gazprom to bring the South Stream pipeline to Austria's Baumgarten gas hub, outmaneuvering Italy which had wanted it to end there.
The Gazprom-OMV agreement continues Russia's strategy of making bilateral deals that undermine the Commission, the European Union's executive arm, which wants to build up a European front on energy supplies.
Bulgaria, which imports almost all its gas from Russia, also backed South Stream last month in defiance of Commission calls that member states should not enter bilateral deals with Gazprom without its approval.
Quietly supporting smaller EU member states such as Austria and Bulgaria is Germany, where the government has said it sees Moscow as a reliable gas supplier and industry has made big investments in securing Russian gas.
Germany is by far Gazprom's biggest customer in the EU, paying about $15 billion a year for Russian gas.
After years of lobbying by former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, the Nord Stream pipeline began operations in 2011.
Schröder chairs Nord Stream's board and has been an outspoken critic of moves to isolate Russia diplomatically. He drew strong criticism in the German news last week for bear-hugging President Vladimir Putin during a visit to Russia.
South Stream's proposed 2,500-kilometer route would stretch from Russia under the Black Sea through Bulgaria and Serbia to Hungary and now Austria.
Germany's BASF, the world's biggest chemicals company, is a partner in South Stream through its gas supply subsidiary Wintershall.
The head of BASF's advisory board is Eggert Voscherau, brother of Henning Voscherau, who is chairman of South Stream Transport's board of directors and a prominent former politician of Schröder's Social Democratic Party.
A government adviser in Berlin, speaking on condition of anonymity said Berlin was happy that the new pipeline was now going to Austria rather than Italy: "Bringing South Stream's gas to Austria is far better for Germany's industry and gas security than pumping it far to the south to Italy."

FLIGHT OF IDEAS: Wasting Words
Slotting some one as this or that is an uncanny practice in literary academics. Just by the way they articulate themselves or the way others pronounce them to be, people are nicely nudged towards some category or other. Pardon those who have confessed their allegiance to some thoughtful school or other.
Yet, the most seductive labels are that you're either liberal or conservative. These stickers are so fashionable and sweep the known – and unknown – qualities about someone quite easily. But Berkley linguist, Geoffrey Nunberg warns: "The real caution I always give people is, we cannot let our sources influence us to define their opponents by using their words." Using shorthand words to fit some one into your order of things may be a preventable luxury – not an academic necessity.
Nunberg's book title directly suggests what is at stake by using condescending words: Talking Right: How Conservatives Turned Liberalism Into a Tax-Raising, Latte-Drinking, Sushi-Eating, Volvo-Driving, New York Times-Reading, Body-Piercing, Hollywood-Loving, Left-Wing Freak Show. Using brands to define your opponent is not a trickster's act; but a brilliant cognitive move to use evocative terms to floor readers – although a deceptive move at that. Observe the colloquial use of words – so fantastically employed.
Pick up The Hindu on any weekend. And you'll find the way a disgusted journalist or a depressing writer equivocally stamp opponents as dissidents. If one questions the validity of a woman president, chuck the argument and tuck it as gender blunder. Argument is plundered because it is a seeming misfit among teeming ideologies.
The kind of language coup one can pull off largely depends on how one stays with the message and spreads it; whereas others may well be all over the place and scatter the message so widely that it dilutes its genuine version.
So what can be done? Process the argument, rather than dissolving it into your ideology. And until that happens, the raunchiest refuge is to use buzzwords and catchphrases - to capture the eluding essence of defining and describing the affairs in the world.
Language shouldn't be expected to mirror the world as it is. But only its use to proximately explain the world – understanding of which lies with the reader. Symbolic reading of stuff expressed through language is preferable. Rather than relying on relief through language – or even giving in to the unusual style of cooking up language – contemplating on the symbols signed through language is better. Far nicer is to resign into silence, where matters evade verbal articulation.

Our ultimate rest is found in Christ alone, in whom we can cast our anxieties and burdens onto because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). Unlike in the Old Testament where the Jewish Sabbath was strictly ordained and observed, we have Jesus, who is our Sabbath rest, and in whom we enjoy rest not just once a week – but always.
We find complete rest in Jesus anytime, anywhere (Exodus 33:14). Which begs the question: What does it mean to rest in Jesus? The simple answer is to abide in him.
I believe abiding in Jesus means being intentional about how we spend our free time (Ephesians 5:15-17). It means choosing to spend time meaningfully with Jesus and not wasting our time on worthless and trivial pursuits (Psalm 101:3, 119:37).
Abiding in Jesus means dwelling, soaking and lingering in His presence. This may take the form of prayer, meditation on His word or worshipping Him in song and praise (Psalm 27:4; John 15:1-7; Philippians 4:8).
For a while I struggled with feeling guilty about wanting – even needing – to watch the latest episode of Modern Family or The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. While there’s nothing inherently wrong or evil about watching our favourite shows or surfing our favourite websites, we must be careful that such pastimes do not displace our time with God.
A good way of knowing whether you’ve compromised your time alone with God is to ask yourself: Do I desire to spend my time doing or watching this, rather than spending time with God?
In his book, Reclaiming Love: Radical Relationships in a Complex World, Ajith Fernando describes those who swap activity for their identity in this way:
“… they become restless souls, afraid to stop or slow down their frantic pace and busy activity. They work without taking a break because they sense that stopping will force them to confront the emptiness of their hearts. To avoid this, when they do stop to take a break, they enter an imaginary world offered by TV or some other pastime. These experiences, though they can be good when experienced in moderation, are never a substitute for silence in the presence of God.”
If this describes you (it did for me) it may be time to take a step back and do the following: Pray for your heart, asking the Lord to give you the desire to spend time with Him – and delight in Him as you do. If it helps, find a quiet place where you can spend time with Him without distractions. Open your Bible and dive in. Meditate and write down what the Lord says to you.
Now whenever I feel burned out, bored or unrested, I put away my laptop and phone – and pray. I put on my favorite worship playlist. I read the Bible, devotionals and other Christian literature. I ponder, talk to and thank God for what I’ve learned.
I’ve found that an afternoon spent this way gives my soul more rest than an entire day spent enjoying superficial entertainment. And interestingly enough, my desire for saturating myself in social media has decreased to the point I actually feel bored when I do so.
It may sound hard and almost counter-intuitive to read the Bible instead of BuzzFeed, but let’s not give up striving to enter into His rest. For when we do, we’ll find that Jesus refreshes and satisfies our souls in a way no one and nothing else can (Jeremiah 31:25).
My name, who bear the vision, is Kristoffer Paulsson. I grew up in a Christian home and have been Christian my whole life, and always loved the Lord.
In 2013 God called me to go out and evangelize. I knew nothing about it, there where a man in the church I went too that was an evangelist. He raised me up and thought me Ray Comfort-style evangelism. In 2015 after being in the USA, Missouri, visiting Doug Perry and FOTM and coming home from there, I felt lead to start to evangelize, being the one holding the initiative. Notoriously evangelizing the city the fall of 2015 and all of 2016, God called me out in full-time ministry service. He sent me to another city and had me leave both my home and work. I was in this city and met a new born-again brother that let me stay for 4 months. I discipled him after my best ability, both taking him out evangelizing, learning to recognize the voice of God, and how to do spiritual warfare.
After that God has once again changed the focus to be more Kingdom focused, to build up and equip the Body of Christ. Everything I do, I do in faith that the Lord will provide.

Threefold Village is committed to cultivating and nurturing an inclusive form of Waldorf pedagogy within the diverse homeschool community of Los Angeles, California, USA. We support students, parents, guardians and educators. Together we are overcoming one of the biggest challenges homeschoolers face; building consistent and connected community.
If you are a homeschooling family who understands the importance of community, you are in the right place. If you believe in the power of a child’s imagination and the experience of learning by doing; you are in the right place.
Simply put, Threefold Village is “Waldorf – inspired” community. We believe in and practice principles developed by Rudolf Steiner, more commonly known as Waldorf Education. Our team strives to bring growth and to deepen understanding of a “Head, Heart, and Hands” holistic approach to learning.
The path of homeschooling is beautiful and rewarding. At the same time long and challenging. As well, it can be very lonely. It is easy to feel isolated.
At Threefold Village, we believe that doing it differently or according to our own design, shouldn’t mean doing it alone. An African adage says “It takes a village to raise a child.” We agree.

Do Weighted Blankets Improve Sleep in Children and Teens with Autism? | POTS
Do Weighted Blankets Improve Sleep in Children and Teens with Autism?
July 17, 2014 July 23, 2017 Autism, Sensory Integration, Sensory Processing, Therapeutic Listening pots 0 Comments
In this article, Autism Speaks discusses a study recently published in the journal Pediatrics, that concludes that weighted blankets do not significantly impact in sleep in children with autism.
Here's what we think!
A weighted blanket, like any isolated sensory strategy is not a magic pill. Difficulty falling asleep is often the result of over-responsiveness to sensation THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
Weighted blankets will only be truly effective as part of a comprehensive sensory diet. A sensory diet is proactive, and includes consistent sensory input throughout the day, not only at the time that the challenge arises (in this case, bed time). Think of a typical diet. Eating an apple for snack might be a healthy, nutritional choice, but you will only achieve a healthy lifestyle, and start to see a difference, if you choose healthy foods (and eliminate unhealthy foods) throughout the day. It would be silly to eat one apple in the evening, and potato chips the rest of the day, and then conclude that eating apples has no positive impact on weight loss.
So, don't throw out your weighted blankets so quickly. If your child prefers it, this is a good sign that you chose an appropriate sensory diet activity for him/her. Work with your occupational therapist to combine it with additional sensory activities, such as Therapeutic Listening and heavy work, and you might start to see some real changes.

Armstrong misunderstands the import of Maggio when he argues that it was intended to establish a rule that, upon the passage of some specific period of coercive imprisonment that fails to induce compliance, an inference must be drawn of an inability to comply. Maggio‘s point was rather to explain that a previous finding made by a court that the subject of an order had been able to comply, but had contumaciously refused to do so, does not bar reexamination of the question of the subject’s ability to comply at a later time, especially when changes in circumstances since the making of the first finding, including time spent in jail without producing compliance, provides strong reason to doubt the contemnor’s continued ability to comply.9
We also reject Armstrong’s contention, also advanced by Judge Sotomayor in her concurring opinion, that Congress intended the Recalcitrant Witness Statute to indicate a presumptive benchmark suggesting a limit dictated by the Due Process Clause for all coercive confinements. Section 1826(a) was carefully drafted to apply to one particular category of contemnor: A “witness . . . [who] refuses without just cause shown to comply with an order of the court to testify or provide other information.” 28 U.S.C. § 1826(a); see also Gelbard v. United States, 408 U.S. 41, 73, 92 S.Ct. 2357, 33 L.Ed.2d 179 (1972) (Rehnquist, J., dissenting) (stating that the statute expresses a “desire on the part of Congress to treat separately from the general contempt power of courts their authority to deal with recalcitrant witnesses in court or grand jury proceedings”); Mitchell, 556 F.2d at 383 (stating that the statute “deals with civil contempt for certain specific acts”). Nothing in § 1826(a) suggests that Congress intended that it apply as a presumptive benchmark, or in any other way, to contemnors who do not fit within that category.
Furthermore, we can easily appreciate that the class of contemnors for which Congress established the eighteen-month ceiling can present circumstances that understandably motivated Congress to establish such a ceiling for that particular class. Persons who go to jail rather than obey a court order to testify frequently do so in the service of some useful and socially worthwhile principle. In some cases (which invariably receive widespread publicity and therefore have surely come to the attention of Congress), it is a journalist who believes she would violate the ethical standards of her profession if she revealed a source to whom she promised confidentiality. In other cases, it is a member of some other profession—medical, legal, religious—who similarly believes that the ethical standards of her profession would be compromised by revelation of confidences (under circumstances where the court’s finding of waiver of a privilege does not convince the witness that any such waiver was voluntary). In still other cases, the court’s order to testify forces the witness to violate a loyalty to a family member or close friend. Even when the relationship between the witness and the subject of the testimony sought is merely that of partners in crime, our social mores are not deeply offended by the criminal who would rather spend time in jail than squeal on his partner. Accordingly, in passing a statute which imposes an eighteen-month limitation on coercive contempt confinement for recalcitrant witnesses but not for other categories of civil contemnors, Congress has not acted arbitrarily or irrationally. Although one could argue that not everyone coming within § 1826(a)’s scope is motivated by such admirable purposes, there appear to be good reasons for Congress to have selected for special treatment that class of contemnors.
We also acknowledge that there are situations where a contemnor might not come within the terms of § 1826(a) but whose circumstances nonetheless raise the same types of considerations as those of a recalcitrant witness covered by the statute. Yet Congress need not achieve a perfect fit in enacting legislation. And even if an argument could be made that such a person should benefit from the same ceiling that Congress imposed for the recalcitrant witness, that argument would do nothing for Armstrong. His case does not raise the types of considerations that led Congress to impose a ceiling for the special benefit of recalcitrant witnesses. The district court’s order does not require Armstrong to choose between subservience to law and his ethical principles, nor does it require him to violate bonds of personal loyalty to a family member or friend, or even a partner in crime. According to the district court’s findings, Armstrong is motivated by greed. He is willing to suffer time in jail in the hope of ending up in possession of $15 million in assets of a corporation to which he owes fiduciary duties. The Due Process Clause does not demand that the test of his obduracy end today or, for that matter, at any specific time.
Our ruling on this issue of course depends on the district court’s finding that Armstrong is capable of complying but chooses not to do so. We note that two years have passed since the district court last held a hearing to determine whether Armstrong was able to comply with its order. As the Supreme Court emphasized in Maggio, circumstances can change. A contemnor who was found to be capable of complying with an order to turn over assets at a particular date is not necessarily capable of doing so forever. A person previously found to be in contempt for failure to obey an order to produce property in his possession “would always have the right to be released as soon as the fact becomes clear” that he is no longer capable of obeying because he is not in possession of the property or its proceeds. Maggio, 333 U.S. at 72, 68 S.Ct. 401. We believe the district court may not indefinitely rely on its prior finding. After the passage of a significant period of time, a contemnor who is coercively confined and claims, like Armstrong, to be incapable of complying with the court’s order, is entitled to have the court convene a new hearing at which the court will reconsider, regardless of past findings, whether the person is presently capable of complying.
Accordingly, under our supervisory authority, we direct the district court, after giving reasonable notice to the parties so that they may prepare adequately, to convene as soon as practicable a new hearing into whether Armstrong is in possession of the property (or the proceeds thereof) which is the subject of the court’s production order so that he is able to comply with it. Further, while we emphasize that we have never found any fault in Judge Owen’s skillful handling of this case, we believe that on the seventh anniversary of Armstrong’s confinement, his case deserves a fresh look by a different pair of eyes. We therefore direct the district court to reassign the case randomly to a different district court judge on remand.
Armstrong argues that the district court abused its discretion when it denied bail pending the resolution of his habeas petition. We find no abuse of discretion.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Dania Ramirez talk 'Premium Rush'
What's scarier than being chased by a dirty cop with money on his mind? Try riding a bike through the streets of New York. Luckily the stars of "Premium Rush" had enough guts, Hollywood magic and stunt doubles to pull it off. Stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Dania Ramirez took a moment to speak about the film, their thoughts on the bike messengers they portray and how it's changed them as artists.
Billy Tatum: The work you did in this film looked pretty dangerous. Did you get hurt at all?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: There was a bit of an accident. I should start by saying that everyone was very safety conscious. It was a perfect storm of a lot of things going wrong all at once. To make a long story short, a diplomat broke through our lockup. In New York City, you have the United Nations, so you have a lot of diplomats driving around.
Dania Ramirez: There's no rules for diplomats.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Yeah, so they can break the law. Basically, I ended up going through the rear window of a taxi cab and getting thirty-one stitches. Everyone was worried that it happened. I'm flooded with adrenaline right when it happened. You dont feel any pain right when your arm breaks open so I'm like "Whoa, geez, I'm sorry. I'm ok." Dave's ran up saying "Are you ok?" He was terrified. I was like "You gotta record this, man. Look at this. This is crazy." I convinced him to, so he pulled out his phone and recorded some video. I was stoked that he actually put it into the movie."
Billy Tatum: Did it force you to miss any days of shooting?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Well, it was towards the end of the day.
Dania Ramirez: He was at work the next day with a smile on his face. It was a good reminder that we're not really these people riding these bikes. We were like "Oh, we have stunt people that can do these things."
Billy Tatum: Did you do your own stunts?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Certainly not. (laughs). The character of Wilee was played by five of us. Me and four other guys. Everyone had their own specialties. One was an actual bike messenger. One was a Hollywood stunt man that gets hit by cars. One's really good at trials bike riding, which is the chase towards the end of the movie where he's on a different bike. That's the kind of bike that's particularly conducive to jumping and stuff. Then, there was a guy that was really good at doing tricks on a track bike. If you look on youtube for Danny Macaskill. He does insane things on his bike.
Dania Ramirez: That's the cool thing about the movie. There is no CGI. The stunts are actually real, so we were lucky enough to have great stunt people come in and do stunts.
Billy Tatum: How would you compare this to some of the other action films you've done like "Inception" or the upcoming "Looper"?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: As far as the physical challenge, I'd have to say this is the hardest one. "Inception" would come in with a close second. I was on a bike every day, all day. The whole movie is on a bike. "Inception" has some cool action sequences, but this is the entire movie.
Billy Tatum: Tell me about the research you did and interacting with the real bike messengers in New York?
Dania Ramirez: It's a really tight community. One thing we found out about the bike messaging community is that they are really caring and thoughtful people. It's almost like they're playing a character when they get on their bikes and they have to ride around. It's like they have to put on this badass persona, but when they get back behind closed doors, they're really a tight-knit group.
Billy Tatum: Did you pick up any tricks on not getting killed riding a bike in NYC?
Dania Ramirez: Pay attention (laughs). Listen. You're riding a bike through New York City. I'm from the east coast, originally. Pedestrians kind of rule New York and they're way more dangerous than riding alongside the taxicab drivers. At least you're going in the same direction. Pedestrians are in their own world. We had to become really aware of what was around us.
Plus, you don't tell a New Yorker "Hey, you can't cross the street right now. We're shooting". They don't care.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: I thought a cool kernel of wisdom that I learned from multiple people was "If you want to avoid hitting something, don't look at it." Look at where you're going. If you're trying to thread a needle and get between two cars, as soon as you start looking at where you don't want to go, you'll hit them. You have to have the confidence to stay straight and go forward. I think there's something allegorical with that with life in general. That's part of the movie, too. Wilee, the character I play, he is that kind of confident guy that has no hesitation to make a split second decision. There's a lot of virtue in that.
Dania Ramirez: He's riding a bike with no breaks. He lives his life like that.
Billy Tatum: How was it working with Michael Shannon and what did you think of his performance?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Shannon's the (expletive)! There's a tradition, it seems, of really, really fine actors playing villains in a big chase movie, whether it's Dennis Hopper in "Speed" or Alan Rickman in "Die Hard" and I think Shannon really fits into that tradition. I think he's one of the best alive and he's so good in this movie.
Dania Ramirez: He's brilliant. He plays that villain role amazingly. He's so charismatic
while he's doing it. You want to hate him because he's after the good guy, but you can't
help but to smile and laugh at him.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: The funny thing is he's actually a very gentle, sweet guy with a dry sense of humor. He's nothing like the character he plays in this movie.
Billy Tatum: Were the bike messenger community skeptical about the way you were going to portray them?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Yeah, and they have a right to be skeptical. Like I said, it's not a documentary about bike culture. It's a Hollywood chase movie that does glorify the hell out of bikes and I think it'll be a rocking good time for anybody who loves to ride bikes or whose never been on a bike.
Dania Ramirez: Also, it's not that many times that the bike messenger community gets to be represented, so in my experience, they were really excited. They were excited that, as actors, we were genuinely interested in finding out about their lives and the way that they see the world and the city. That's something that you get when you see the movie. It's a gritty, very specific look at New York City.
Billy Tatum: Did this movie change any notions you had of bike messengers?
Dania Ramirez: I have so much more respect for bike messengers, in general. It's a very hard profession and they have to be incredibly fit. You really have to learn how to manage your time, because you do have a job where you have to get a package to a certain place by a certain time.
Billy Tatum: Who's the bigger daredevil between the two of you?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Uh…
Dania Ramirez: Me (laughs)!!
Billy Tatum: After you trained here for six weeks, did you notice the difference in the way people treat cyclists out here versus New York?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Yeah, there was a big difference. New York drivers are more used
to it, because Manhattan is a city that's more conducive to riding a bike. You have to be pretty
good cyclist if you're going to use a bike as your main mode of transportation In L.A. It's rare, but in New York, you can really do it. But there's a real bike culture here in L.A, which is so car-centric, especially on the east side of town. If you go to the west side of town, there's a thriving bike culture.
Billy Tatum: Much of your relationship takes place over the phone while riding? Did you two do those scenes first?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: We'd already gotten to know each other really well.
Dania Ramirez: Yeah, we had trained for six weeks, so we had already known
each other and gotten to ride bikes together. We were already solid and knew
what the relationship would be and how to play it out. My first scene was riding
through Park Avenue when I'm having a real intense conversation with him
about our relationship. It did help that we knew each other and spent a lot
of time together outside of filming. By the time we filmed, It just felt kind of natural.
Billy Tatum: You're also putting on the director's hat. Tell me a little about that.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: I wrote a movie that I'm directing called "Don Jon's Addiction". I learned so much from working with so many great directors that it allowed me to do it. I'm stoked to talk to you about it once it's closer. I had a blast. Scarlett Johansson read it and liked it and is starring in it. Julianne Moore is also starring in it. We had a great time.
Dania Ramirez: Some little names (laughs).
Billy Tatum: Now that you've directed, do you ever go into director's mode when someone
is directing you?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: As an actor, it's important to try to always understand what the director is after. That's my job when I'm acting. I like to ask a lot of questions. I like to understand why the director is doing what he's doing so I can provide him or her with the ingredients that they need to get the scene that they want. You can ask Dave. I asked a lot of questions, because I want to understand where they're coming from. It's not to challenge them in any way. It's so I can do the best job. I can't wait to act again and not direct. They're two very different creative challenges.
Billy Tatum: Dania, did you cycle across the plank and did you nail it on the first take?
Dania Ramirez: Yes, I cycled across the plank. It was nerve-wracking, because I'm scared of heights. I had to go over the Hudson River on a plank. For a while there, I was like "Oh." My doubles are there and were willing to do it. I'm like "I'm Vanessa. I'm a bike messenger. I can totally do this."
Billy Tatum: Were there any other uniquely New York experiences you had?
Dania Ramirez: Yeah. We were written up in the Post a few times. It was just hard to tell a New Yorker "You can't cross the street. We're rolling right now." They have a place to get to and that's their main concern. One guy head butted one of our PAs because he was trying to stop him from crossing the street. It's just classic New York behavior. I'm from New York and I love it. I thrive on that. Part of the movie, as well, is the adrenaline that keeps you going and the New York vibe. People don't take anything.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: We're also locking down big swaths of street. Normally to lock up a location to shoot in New York City, that's a street corner or outside a doorway or something
like that, but we're locking up 6th Avenue between 32nd Street and 39th Street because we do
a whole scene, but it takes seven blocks of distance. It was very impressive. We had a really
skilled crew of people.
Billy Tatum: What do you guys do for fun? Is cycling your way to blow off steam?
Dania Ramirez: I love it. One of the things I want people to take from the movie is to
pick up a bike afterwards. I got inspired to do so. I'm actually training to do the
Malibu triathlon. I'm going to do the biking section on September 16th.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Hell yeah! I'm going to…cheer her on.
Billy Tatum: What's the latest on HitRecord?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: We're releasing a final record right now. We spent the summer putting together a bunch of collaboratively made music. HitRecord is a production company I run. We use the internet to collaborate so artists of all kinds can contribute to our projects. We do music, films, writing, and things like that. We're about to put out two 12″ records. It's 78 different artists out of thousands. Thousands of people contributed to all these songs, but we curated it down to the collaborative work of 78 different artists. I have a song on there that I wrote. I'm so proud of it. We keep getting better and better as a community. As it sticks around and continues to grow, the level of artistry keeps going up and up. The quality of music on this release called "Move on the Sun" blows my mind. I'm so proud of it.
Billy Tatum: How many tracks did those 78 artists create?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: I forget the exact number, but it's two 12″ vinyl records. I think there's
twelve because there's three songs on a side.
Billy Tatum: The pacing definitely qualifies as "edge of your seat". Did the fact that it was made practically in real time change the way you approached the role?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Yes. It's a pacey film. It's not a film where you take a long pause. You've got to learn your lines real good. You can't do that BS move where you pretend like you're thinking of what to say when actually you're trying to think of the line you didnt learn well enough. And Dave Koepp writes in a really crisp fashion. He writes great dialogue.
Dania Ramirez: I think the fact that it's 90 minutes and he has to get the package to
a certain place in 90 minutes is challenging for an audience and really exciting.
You have to really pay attention and find out what's really going on and what the package
is all about. The little times where you actually get a flashback in the story, you have to
make sure that you're paying attention. The title of the film is "Premium Rush". We're
in a rush. Ninety minutes.
Premium Rush is playing in theaters nationwide. Before you jump on a bike, add me on twitter to catch all my latest movie news and reviews: @lamoviedude

IK Multimedia releases T-RackS Space Delay plug-in - Page 3 - Gearslutz
The clean nature of the re201 also made it worthless on gigs (huge gigs) in 78 imo.
Ahem, Mick would like a word!
Oh Jesus chr*st... again with this
Based on how good the last two releases have been (tape and Sunset Studios) i gave this a try. 5 minutes later I bought. On first test it looks like its a third to a quarter as cpu intensive as Tape, and i haven't had any of the overload issues i have with Tape on aux tracks.
Keep going, IK!
Hah. I wouldnt be surprised if it happens during the Black Friday sales In which case I will definitely be buying because...well why not.
yup! you can never have enough delays. they are a spectacular effect. not like a limiter or compressor which are subtle. a delay or reverb is in your face and you know it there and changes the sound (for better or worse).
FWIW.. I think IKM are okay, I just wish they weren't as aggressive in their bundling and peddling of other products. The peddling of other products has never resulted in a knee jerk reaction of a purchase for me. who knows? maybe this sales strategy works better in other cultures. i think if they toned it down a bit, they would gain more traction with customers.
First time I installed it, I realised I deleted plugins I want and left those I wanted to delete. Had to wait until Ableton finished scanning. Closed Ableton. Deleted everything.
I ran the installer again. I thought this time I deleted right plugins, but no... I left Tape echo instead of space delay. Ok, deleted everything and then ran installer again.
This time I deleted right plugins, but then I look at VST3 and I forgot to delete those there...
Anyway took me about three times to install it. Then of course was authorisation issue...
All this took me 10 minutes. Probably similar time I would have spent hooking real Space Echo.
But this thing sounds just great, can't remember when I last time spend so much time playing with a delay. It landed in my favourites folder among Valhalla Delay, Acustica Lemon and Surreal Machines Modnetic...
Really impressed with the sound demos of this. Looks like another great release for the T-Racks line! Really looking forward to a T-Racks 6 with all these new modules (Space Delay, Sunset Sound & Tape Machines) fully integrated
If the go spring / chorus /phaser /flanger ...this would be exellent ...and with what they have in amplitube it shouldn t take ages !!
The first thing that really impressed me was their leslie thing , since they keep dropping bad boys ...gonna give it a spin today .
What do you mean by "fully integrated"? What makes you think that anything would be more "integrated" compared to now? Integrated how? You have the plugins that can be used individually or in that container, or can be used in the standalone thing. What is there to integrate?
IKM is on fire. Can't help but hope and pray that IKM please do a mastering grade multiband exp/comp/limiter next. And no, Quad Comp is not good enough.
A Fairchild in the same vein (very high quality / CPU) as IK Tapes would be a bit good :¬)
Yes this is very true. I guess I'm talking more about updated presets with some of these in the chain. Whilst I don't often use presets, I find the ones in T-Racks 5 Max surprisingly good and give a good starting point
Hi Peter, I bought the delay and it works great in Reaper 6 on Catalina but I just tried using it Nuendo 10 on a project and there's crazy white noise occurring on all the presets, it sounds completely different to how it does in Reaper. Has this been reported already?
I don't know about Ableton Live, but I don't delete the plugins, just disable them in the plugin manager, done, never have to worry about it again, they just don't show up in the plugin list anymore.
If Live can't do this, maybe it's time for a feature request
OK, for all people who use DAWs that don't have a plugin manager, I've written a small powershell script that automates the procedure of deleting unwanted plugins a bit. All you have to do is list the names of the plugins you want deleted.
# change this to where your VST2 plugins are installed
$vst2 = "c:\Program Files\VstPlugins\IK Multimedia"
# no need to change this usually as it is the standard path for VST3
$vst3 = "c:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3"
# list the names (minus the extension) of all plugins you want DELETED
$delete = (
"TR5 Classic Clipper",
"TR5 Classic Comp",
"TR5 Classic EQ",
"TR5 Classic Multi Band Limiter",
"TR5 CSR Hall",
"TR5 CSR Inverse",
"TR5 CSR Plate",
"TR5 CSR Room" # no comma on the last line!
$delete | %{ "$vst2\$_.dll" }
$delete | %{ "$vst3\$_.vst3"}
$a = read-host -prompt "Are you really really sure you wanna delete those files? [y/n]"
if ( $a -eq "n" ) {
# delete vst2 files
$delete | %{ remove-item "$vst2\$_.dll" }
# delete vst3 files
$delete | %{ remove-item "$vst3\$_.vst3"}
Usage: Copy the code to a file with the file extension ".ps1", edit the respective lines according to the comments, do a right-click on the file and select "run with powershell" (or whatever it is called in your language).
For a Mac, I guess you would write it a bash script there, which would be easy, but I cannot test it as I don't have one...
Many thanks, I will try it ! I have 3 licenses for Cubase 5. They basically work as they should but the lack of plugin manager is a pain.
Regarding Space Delay by IK: I will buy it because I am delay freak. I believe it has some faetures, that UAD does not have - head pan for instance. I agree with user Zeep that mastering plugins by IK are politely speaking "not good enough". But I like their tape - machine collection very much. I find it very useful,very close-to-the tape sounding.

bash version of VST removal script
Sorry for derailing the thread a bit, can't help myself, I just love scripting
And maybe it will stop all those "IKM clutters my VST folder with Plugins i don't own" posts
# VST2 path
vst2="/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/IK Multimedia"
# VST3 path
vst3="/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3"
delete=(
"TR5 Classic Clipper"
"TR5 Classic Comp"
"TR5 Classic EQ"
"TR5 Classic Multi Band Limiter"
"TR5 CSR Hall"
for a in "${delete[@]}" ; do
echo "rm $vst2/$a.vst"
echo "rm $vst3/$a.vst3"
echo "Do you really really want to delete those files? [y/n]"
if [ "$answer" = "n" ] ; then
rm "$vst2/$a.vst"
rm "$vst3/$a.vst3"
I have no idea whether this works on a Mac, I wrote and tested on Linux, so it should work under Mac Terminal with a bash, but I'm note sure about the VST2/3 path specification, I just googled that.
Maybe someone with a Mac and a little bit of bash knowledge can test and comment on how to use it on a Mac.
Did you know they're running an upgrade special until July 28? C9.5 is the minimum version you want to be running where they upped the inserts to 16. C10.5 allows you to save channels.
"TR5 CSR Room" # no comma on the last line!
The only problem with your code is that CSR Plate is awesome.
as well as CSR Inverse and Hall.
Dammit, and I thought I thoroughly bug checked my script
Yeah I have updated to 10.5 Pro now but only because of the sale. The thing I found really useful was the integration of ARA2 in version 10.
Gonna give this plugin a go to see whether to use some of my Jam points on it. Shame IK only allow up to 30% of net value to be used as Jam points though - they could at least make it 30% of gross cost but I guess different rates of tax for different areas...
Thanks for the info I just bought 3 licenses.
PS When Wavelab sale ?

Did anyone compare this IK emulation with AudioThing OuterSpace ? Curious to get feedbacks from GS users
WRT waiting for a deal... A large chunk of IK users can get T-RackS Space Delay now for the same price as competitors (after demoing and assessing that - oops I mean if - it does sound better, of course). Waiting a year or more (because it is typically a while) to save very few bucks compared to now seems like a lot of lost time waiting to use a plugin.
Shame IK only allow up to 30% of net value to be used as Jam points though
In fairness, it used to be 50% BUT only on non-sale plugins. The moment a plugin went on sale, you couldn't use any jampoints! So I guess 30% is better than 0%!!!
Been demoing it and wasn't too keen playing piano through it so changed to one of my guitars and its strength imho is distorted rock guitar being played through it - it gives it that 3D sound that a lot of amp sims seem to lack. Think I am gonna get it just for that but I would say that I had to dial in my own sounds as wasn't too fussed on the presets and there weren't that many of them. I think a lot of people when demoing will just go through the presets so maybe IK should add some more of these...
Also be careful to level match when a/b-ing as there is invariably a volume bump with the plugin.
But overall this will be a great addition for my rock electric guitar plugins.
i dont think that is true. i used jam points in combination with 50% off say to get Larussen not that long ago.
You can get a maximum of 30% off using jampoints on whatever the price happens to be now (including sale price). It used to be 50% off using jampoints on full price only (non-sale price).

29 Roadster won't idle all the way down - The Ford Barn
02-25-2021, 01:00 PM #1
My roadster is running fine but when I come to a complete stop the engine does not idle all the way down. If I put my toe under the accelerator pedal and pull it back it then idles all the way down. I can not find any info in either of Les Andrews books about the linkage on the firewall. Before I start taking it apart would like to know if anyone else has had this problem and what cured it. Thanks, Jim
02-25-2021, 01:13 PM #2
Check to be sure the idle screw is backed off on the carb so the throttle closes. Also check and lube all of the throttle rod parts don't forget the apparatus on the firewall. Also check that nothing is binding with the hand throttle linkage. Because you can close the throttle with your foot I think you have a sticky/binding system.
02-25-2021, 01:52 PM #3
There are two points on the accelerator assembly that bolts to the back of the block that Pete mentioned that need oil. Usually out of sight and out of mind. If the cross shaft was bent during a engine removal it can bind up. I have straightened several in the bench vice.
02-25-2021, 02:09 PM #4
While you're lubing the linkage check your return spring for binding.
Also check to ensure the linkage is allowing the carb butterfly to travel all the way closed. I recently installed a Marvel Schebler carb and ran into this. I had to fab an "adjustable" throttle rod to allow the carb to close fully.

The info about oiling all the linkage points and making sure they are free, straight and moving properly is good.

02-26-2021, 07:35 PM #7
difficulties ewith the accelerator assembly appear here periodically. does anyone have a copy of the engineering draft that might show how much bend the part was designed with?
02-27-2021, 02:41 PM #8
Good afternoon...I have seen several Model A's with an extra little spring mounted to a little pad eye about where your passenger would put their right big toe! The pad eye is screwed to the plywood floorboard and a small fairly stout spring then goes from it to the connection of the throttle cross-shaft and the linkage that goes up to the throttle butterfly on the side of the zenith...works really well...as an easier fix than removing the cross-shaft and putting a new spring on same...Ernie in Arizona
02-27-2021, 08:22 PM #9
I use a fulcrum spring similar to this. I didn't like the way a coil spring pulls back on the throttle shaft.

Presenter Stuart Maconie said: “I’ve loved being able to explore my home region and favourite stomping ground through the lens of this landmark Civilisations series and to learn more about the British Empire, the history of its art and how it has influenced our lives and culture today. There are so many stories to be told and our documentary hopes to bring those stories to new audiences through the treasures of our past.”
This documentary, one of 11 Civilisations Stories from across England will contribute towards a special accompanying programme for BBC Two, Civilisations on your Doorstep. Here, Mary Beard will explore the stories and controversies behind extraordinary works of art from all over the world that are now displayed in museums across Britain. She will open the doors to the UK’s national holdings, tracing British attitudes to civilisation through the story of collecting around the country.
Aziz Rashid, Head of Regional and Local Programming at BBC North West, said: “Stuart Maconie’s thought-provoking documentary about The Empire and its relationship with art shines a light on some of the historical artefacts and places of interest across the North West from a new perspective. Many partners across the region will be staging events and talks as part of the Civilisations Festival so there are plenty of opportunities to explore the objects and find out more about the stories that shaped our lives today.”

Load capacity almost one quarter higher than standard tyres, and 10 percent higher than XL-rated tyres
HL tyres feature a number of changes in the tyre structure and rubber compounds, retaining low rolling resistance and noise levels, precise handling and high mileage
Large, powerful cars and sports utility vehicles (SUVs) with electric or hybrid drive put far more weight onto the road than conventional vehicles. At the same time, these heavier models offer little scope for fitting larger tyres with higher load capacities. In response, Continental is now manufacturing the first passenger tyre with the new “HL” load index code.
Inflated to the same pressure, these tyres have a higher load capacity than those built to the former XL standard. On the sidewall, products with the new maximum load capacity display the HL code ahead of the size, as in “HL 245/40 R 19 101 Y XL”. The load capacity of this HL tyre stands at 825 kg (load index 101), which equates to a 10 percent increase over the familiar XL standard of 750 kg (load index 98).
Passenger tyres of this size built to the SL standard, adequate for many cars, up to and including mid-range models, can take a maximum load of 670 kg (load index 94). That makes the load capacity of the new HL tyres almost one quarter higher. Looking ahead, Continental is expecting to see growing demand from vehicle manufacturers for tyres with the new HL code.
Continental is currently producing the first tyres to the new HL standard for original equipment (OE) fitments, but they will also be available in the replacement market.
Currently the HL tyre range is manufactured at Contintental’s plant in Otrokovice in the Czech Republic, and is marketed around the globe.

With the announcement that The Specials will be undertaking a second UK tour this November, there has been a lot of speculation about new songs that the band may add to their set-list. While the band has focused on giving fans what they want by playing their most popular songs, there is hope in some circles that they may perform some more off-beat tracks from their second album 'More Specials' or from their 'Too Much Too Young' EP.
To that end, Mondo De Muebles posted 3 rare demos that members of The Specials recorded in 1981 just as the band was coming apart at the seams. One is a muzak inspired version of '96 Tears' featuring Terry Hall on deadpan vocals. The other two tracks are fantastic dubbed out versions of 'Why?' featuring Lynval Golding on lead vocals and Neville Staple with a great chat along with great reggae dub echo and sound effects. I would venture to say this version is nearly as good as the recorded version we have all heard.

Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that contributes to maintain cell homeostasis. Although it is strongly regulated by many extracellular factors, induction of autophagy is mainly produced by starvation of nutrients. In mammalian cells, the regulation of autophagy by amino acids, and also by the hormone insulin, has been extensively investigated, but knowledge about the effects of other autophagy regulators, including another nutrient, glucose, is more limited. Here we will focus on the signalling pathways by which environmental glucose directly, i.e., independently of insulin and glucagon, regulates autophagy in mammalian cells, but we will also briefly mention some data in yeast. Although glucose deprivation mainly induces autophagy via AMPK activation and the subsequent inhibition of mTORC1, we will also comment other signalling pathways, as well as evidences indicating that, under certain conditions, autophagy can be activated by glucose. A better understanding on how glucose regulates autophagy not only will expand our basic knowledge of this important cell process, but it will be also relevant to understand common human disorders, such as cancer and diabetes, in which glucose levels play an important role.

Finally, a top 100 VC list worthy of Midas | Adventure Capitalist
Finally, a top 100 VC list worthy of Midas
As reported by Dan Primack in PE Hub, Forbes recently announced it would not be compiling a 2009 version of its much-maligned Midas List of Top 100 venture capital investors. And thank goodness for that. I got into a fairly public spat last year with the then-Forbes Editor responsible for the Midas List over my serious criticisms of their version and how they compiled their rankings. My biggest gripe, from my blog post at the time, was that the presence of attorneys, investment bankers and other "service providers" seemed to go against the purpose of the List. The investment banking and venture capital businesses are fundamentally different, so appearing together on a list of "dealmakers" ostensibly "deploying limited partners' capital to create long-term value" was silly and undermined the value of the List. Investment bankers provide valuable services and deserve to be recognized, but I submit that there are already plenty of other lists to celebrate their accomplishments; a Top 100 VC list is not it.
Coincidentally or not, Tony Perkins' AlwaysOn has picked up the mantle and pulled together its own list, and that's a good thing. The AlwaysOn edition, while not perfect, seems to get a good deal closer to the goal of what a list of top venture investors should be. Gone are service providers, investment bankers, and attorneys. Gone, too, are angel investors who are not full-time investors but were fortunate to have been early investors in some of the biggest tech IPOs of the past decade. [Nothing against that, but if these angels are not active full-time backers of start-ups and managing institutional capital from limited partners then this is not the proper forum to celebrate them.] Finally, teased out of the statistics in this year's list is the "Google effect" — the impact of the Google exit upon venture returns that so severely skewed the results that past years' lists were inevitably topped by the investors in Google with little regard to other deals that were done in the preceeding 5 years. The evidence of that effect is clear by the deafening absence from this year's List of one of Google's principal venture investors and one of the most august names in the industry.
As the name implies, the AlwaysOne Top 100 VC List is of full-time venture capitalists. No doubt there will be snarky comments from the community in the weeks ahead about who received some of the recognition of the new List, whether that recognition was deserved, whether the exits attributed to the investors recognized were indeed funded by those same investors, and so on and so forth. This is to be expected, particularly among a group of professionals that is somewhat renown for having a, ahem, healthy self-image.

The excavation of the chilling lathe tram influences best-selling author James Oswald's latest Edinburgh supernatural crime novel. - My Blog
The excavation of the chilling lathe tram influences best-selling author James Oswald's latest Edinburgh supernatural crime novel.
Excavation of the medieval cemetery at South Leith Parish Church as part of the Trams to Newhaven project inspired James Oswald's latest novel, All That Lives.
In the twelfth book in his award-winning Edinburgh Seat Inspector McLane crime series, Oswald's best-selling copper investigates the discovery of human remains in a historic cemetery, which was excavated from trams during excavations in New Haven. A case of art imitating life?
"I read the news online but I didn't want to know whose body it was, it wasn't really important, but the discovery was a spark of an idea," he says after thinking for a moment. "And the fact that it was found in Laith, where Madame Rose lives. Could they possibly be connected? I asked in surprise."
Author James Oswald has created a parallel Edinburgh where crime and the supernatural meet.
In the latest episode of the ongoing series, two victims who had nothing to connect with, apart from the fact that someone buried them in the same way, draw Tony McLane's attention. Although there is a turning point, the bodies were buried seven centuries apart.
The mystery begins when a tram line is erected at South Lathe Cemetery, revealing a mysterious body – some suspect it was a horrific sacrifice, intended for a specific purpose.
When another body, that of a woman who went missing 30 years ago, is found, the similarity between her death and the death of an ancient woman reveals something even more disturbing.
In the investigation, McLane found himself torn between a worrying trend of violent drug-related killings in and around the capital, and uncovered what really matched the corpses. When a third body is discovered, however, he begins to doubt the dark purpose of the game, and whoever puts them there is far from finished.
All That Lives Discovers Oswald, who also starred in the famous DC Constance Fair Child series, is once again breathing life into its parallel current Edinburgh, a place where crime and supernatural are not just each other. Are present but often interconnected.
In this world, over the last decade, regular characters such as retired desk sergeant Grumpy Bob, the aforementioned mystic Madame Rose, DS Jenny Harrison and her nickname, the diabetic Mrs. Safari have become more familiar to readers than ever before. Come in front of it. Extremely unexpected moments to keep ticking the action and turning the pages.
"Characters are the most important thing and work well in the fiction of the series because you have time for each one to give his life," the author said when asked about the popularity of his creations i
n the book. Later they appear in books, evolve and grow. As they do.
Oswald goes on to say, "That's what readers really like, that's why soap operas are so popular, people like to live someone else's life for a while, so if you nail your characters," So the story naturally comes from that. "
All lives are born from this point of view. With his cast, he just had to decide what he wanted from the plot.
He recalls, "It all came down to the discovery of a body in a pit in South Laith Kirk while digging for tram work. It was a wonderful idea for a story. I told all my characters, over 11 Prepare the previous books, just throw them away and ask them, 'What does that mean?'
Published on Thursday, February 17, All Date Lives has reviewed the entire historical Lathe cemetery throughout the book, which was conceived, prepared, written and will be published long before the end of the tram works that affected it.
"In their defense, I write very soon …," laughs the author, who raises Highland cows and Romanian sheep during the day on his farm near Newburgh.
Meet James Oswald, author of The Supernatural Crime, called "The New Ian Rankin."
Readers were first introduced to the cast of McLane's Edinburgh and his good, bad, and weird characters in the 2012 novel Natural Cause, which was shortlisted for the CWA Debut Award, as That was the second in the series, The Book. Of souls
More than a dozen books, his creations have made Edinburgh a police force that can be recognized immediately but we are a little shaken by it.
Looking back, Oswald reflects, "I never had a big story for books in my mind, I don't know what's going to happen in Inspector McLane Book 16, but I like to leave things open and Chances are I can pick it up in a later book to run after. It's a series, so I always think there must be something next.
He continues, "Inside an individual book, I'll remember things from previous books, usually because someone tweeted me a question and I go away, 'Oh, I remember that now. ' It's the kind of idea that I write. I don't plan too much, although I like a good set opening scene. I write the best when I set it up. "
That said, and without a hitch, McLane admits that the end of All Date Lives' Cliff Hanger has put him in a predicament, he wants to relax with a predicament.
"I may have made my life a little harder there. It's not Tony McLane's last book, but I'm going to meet a lot of people who will ask me, 'Is this the last book?' However, this is the last book in my current deal with Wildfire.
He assures his readers, "A book will be 13 and a book will be 14, because it would be unfortunate to leave it on book 13."
This does not mean that Oswald, who is growing up, does not have other new projects in the pipeline. He is considering a possible spin-off novel featuring DS Jenny Harrison but is concerned that readers may see it as Inspector McLane's novel without McLane, another Scottish crime series with all new characters. Is also "flashing out" ideas for.
"After Morris, Lewis will understand how to give Jenny Harrison her own book. So I can try to do more," he thinks.
James Oswald's All Date Lives appeared in Hardback from Wildfire on Thursday, February 17, priced at. 16.99.

Hydrogen at COP26: committing to scale-up and creating demand - Energy Post
At COP26 the voice of hydrogen staked its claim to meeting its targets and its contribution to making the 1.5°C scenario a realistic ambition. Cato Koole and Thomas Koch Blank at Rocky Mountain Institute explain that hydrogen supply should not be the problem. The combination of deployed and announced projects already places the world close to the green hydrogen production capacity needed as outlined in the IEA's "Net Zero by 2050" roadmap. The other side of the coin is demand from customers, in particular hard-to-abate sectors like steel, shipping and aviation. The authors list industry associations that are publicly committing to using hydrogen, with Iberdrola saying the demand is already there for the next decade, forecast to exceed 200m metric tons by 2028. But costs must be driven down to below $2/kg to make green hydrogen competitive with blue and, in some cases, grey hydrogen. That makes rapid cost savings through scale-up the priority. Noting that Europe is leading the way, the authors summarise the policies all governments joining the hydrogen revolution must now enable.
Green hydrogen is an innovation that is essential for decarbonisation of need-to-abate sectors like steelmaking, shipping, and aviation. And at COP26, all sides of the system —from governments to hydrogen producers to industrial consumers — clearly signalled that the world is ready for it.
Most spectacularly, the production side of the green hydrogen value chain made clear at COP26 that supply won't be the bottleneck this decade. The Green Hydrogen Catapult, a private-sector coalition convened with the support of the UN High-Level Climate Action Champions and hosted by RMI, announced a joint commitment to develop 45 GW of electrolyser capacity by 2027. (Electrolysers produce hydrogen and oxygen from water using electricity, which is sourced from renewables to generate "green" hydrogen.)
Combined with what's already deployed, and the announced projects in the pipeline as tracked by BloombergNEF, this commitment places us close to the green hydrogen production capacity needed for a 1.5°C pathway as outlined in the International Energy Agency Net Zero by 2050 roadmap.
Driving costs below $2/kg
Furthermore, this development will also help drive green hydrogen costs below $2 per kilogram, making it competitive with blue and in some cases grey hydrogen, both of which are produced from fossil fuels. (Blue hydrogen is distinguished from grey hydrogen by the use of carbon capture and storage to reduce the greenhouse emissions from hydrogen production.)
"Green hydrogen is the practical, implementable solution that will decarbonise heavy industry and create jobs globally now." —Fortescue Future Industries CEO Julie Shuttleworth addressing the World Leaders Summit at COP26
On its own, mere supply of green hydrogen cannot put the world on a 1.5˚C-aligned pathway, but fortunately end-use sectors have also sent demand signals that they need green hydrogen for decarbonisation. Just ahead of COP26, a group of companies represented in the Cargo Owners for Zero Emission Vessels (coZEV) committed to only purchase ocean freight services powered by scalable zero-carbon fuels from 2040 onward. During COP26, the US delegation launched the First Movers Coalition, mobilising demand sectors to set green hydrogen targets.
Furthermore, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Markets Initiative announced supply, demand, and support pledges, including from finance, infrastructure, and certification organisations. More concretely, as laid out by Gonzalo Saenz de Miera, director of climate change of Iberdrola, the demand is already there for the next decade, considering that the existing hydrogen market (currently for grey hydrogen) is forecast to exceed 200 million metric tons by 2028.
How to accelerate the Hydrogen economy
Support and incentivise adoption of green hydrogen in priority industry sectors
Meanwhile, the Green Hydrogen Catapult will continue building out green hydrogen production capacity; mobilising value chain projects in priority sectors like shipping, fertiliser, and steelmaking; and supporting and leading the establishment of policy to enable a green hydrogen economy, including voluntary mechanisms such as emissions certifications. As COP26 showed, the world is ready for this critical decarbonisation solution, and we don't have a moment to lose in putting it to use.

Intersecting Orbits – Every Day Matters
Tracey Leibach2017-05-03T09:47:29-04:00April 19, 2017|
GameFest, an annual tradition at Rensselaer, celebrates the creativity and innovation in digital games, with a student showcase and competition, music performances, and presentations from veteran game designers, critics, scholars, and indie developers. The event will be held Friday, April 28, to Saturday, April 29, on the Rensselaer campus and in downtown Troy. It is open to the campus and local community. The 2017 theme, "Intersecting Orbits," explores the intersections of games, arts, and science.
In connection with Troy Night Out, the two-day event kicks off on April 28 with the GameFest expo, which will be held for the first time at the Tech Valley Center of Gravity located at 30 Third Street in downtown Troy. The event will be held from 5 to 9 p.m.
"There is tremendous talent and creativity in games, here in the Capital Region and throughout New York state," said Ben Chang, associate professor and director of the Games and Simulation Arts and Sciences (GSAS) program in the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (HASS) at Rensselaer. "University researchers are discovering new ways of using games in education and health care, nonprofits are teaching game design to kids and building creative communities, and game developers of all kinds are constantly reinventing the medium. GameFest is a showcase of creativity in games and electronic media—a public event to talk about how games and simulation are evolving, and we are honored to once again host the event."
One of the Rensselaer games that will be competing in this year's Gamefest is "Highwayman," created by team members Benjamin Caulkins, Anthony Licata, Perrin Mercer, Sam Suite, and Fuller Taylor.
GameFest is presented by GSAS and HASS and is made possible in part by a grant from the State of New York's Empire State Development agency.
Over the past 14 years, GameFest has grown from a small showcase of a handful of games designed by Rensselaer video students to include dozens of games designed by students from colleges and universities throughout the Northeast. On April 29, the program will feature a keynote speaker, live game play, and a panel discussion featuring Rensselaer alumni and alumnae who are working in the games industry. The event will be held on the Rensselaer campus, in the Sage Labs building, room 3303.
The April 29 program will open with an eSports Competition—a professional competitive gaming competition—that will be live-streamed on Twitch.TV, running from noon to 1:30 p.m. Rensselaer's eSports community will present an Overwatch scrimmage between rival teams from Rensselaer and the University of Albany. The 6v6 competition will feature live commentary by Electronic Gaming Federation certified announcers and will be streamed live from the VAST Lab to the Sage Auditorium.
Rensselaer graduate Jonathan Mintz '04, senior designer at Harmonix, will deliver the keynote talk focused on the theme, "The Space Between Galaxies: Charting New Frontiers in Game Design." In the vast universe of possible games, it can be challenging for developers to travel beyond established genres and mechanics. Using the development of DropMix as a case study, Mintz will share methods for defining creative goals, rapidly iterating to refine one's core experience, and user testing to guide players into one's game.
University researchers are discovering new ways of using games in education and health care, nonprofits are teaching game design to kids and building creative communities, and game developers of all kinds are constantly reinventing the medium. GameFest is a showcase of creativity in games and electronic media—a public event to talk about how games and simulation are evolving, and we are honored to once again host the event."—Ben Chang
Following the keynote talk, a panel discussion will take place, beginning at 2:30 p.m. Along with Mintz, panelists include several notable Rensselaer alumni and alumnae from the GSAS program, which was established in 2007. Panelists include: Jennifer Ash '08, lead UI/UX designer at Bungie Studios; Zach Barth '08, founder of Zachtronics; and Ian Stead '04, lead game designer at 1st Playable Productions.
GameFest will culminate with an awards ceremony from 3:30 to 4 p.m., hosted by Velan Studios, a new development studio founded by brothers Guha and Karthik Bala '97. No strangers to the gaming industry, in 1991, the Bala brothers formed their first game development company, Vicarious Visions. Over the next 25 years they took the studio from out of their basement and to the forefront of AAA game development by developing and growing multi-billion-dollar franchises such as Skylanders, Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk, and more. The brothers sold Vicarious Visions to Activision in 2005 and continued to lead the studio as it grew and made many critically acclaimed, successful games.
Today, video games represent one of the largest and fastest growing entertainment industries in the world, and the Capital Region is positioned to be a growing location in digital gaming. In 2016, Empire State Development announced three new Digital Gaming Hubs in New York state at Rensselaer, New York University, and Rochester Institute of Technology. The Digital Gaming Hubs, selected through a request for proposals process, will receive $150,000 each per year for three years. The new Digital Gaming Hubs will encourage students and businesses to create new innovative technologies.
The Digital Gaming Hub brings together partners in the game development community, including the nonprofit organizations Tech Valley Game Space and Games in Education, local studios including 1st Playable Productions and Vicarious Visions, and Rensselaer's Paul J. '69 and Kathleen M. Severino Center for Technological Entrepreneurship in the Lally School of Management, and Emerging Ventures Ecosystem.

Plan the Perfect Garden for Honeybees - Hobby Farms
Plan the Perfect Garden for Honeybees
Provide honeybees and other pollinators with a rich source of nectar and pollen nearly year-round by following these steps for your garden.
by Susan BrackneyFebruary 25, 2019
PHOTO: Kioshike/Flickr
Through gardening, you can help your own honeybees or, if you don't have a hive, attract more pollinators to what you grow. With a thoughtful mix of flowering bulbs, annuals and perennials (not to mention some diligence) you'll see good results.
That said, keeping a garden for honeybees does differ from regular flower gardening in some key ways. Understanding how will boost your success.
See Like a Bee
Because bees can detect ultraviolet light, some flowers that look perfectly plain to us feature all sorts of come-hither markings that honeybees find irresistible.
What's more, although you might be drawn to the fanciest new hybrids, foraging bees might not be. That's because, in exchange for that novel color combination or doubled set of petals, something else can be lost along the way—and sometimes that "something" is the quality or amount of pollen and nectar the flower can provide.
To grow garden flowers will offer honeybees the maximum benefit, choose open-pollinated, heirloom varieties whenever possible.
Come planting time, you should pack the same variety of flowers together in a single, large area, because flowers release floral compounds that create scent patches. These scent patches attract pollinators, and the larger the scent patch, the more attractive it can be.

Be Adaptable Regarding Plans
It's worth noting, too, that installing any kind of garden isn't quite as simple as it once was. More extreme weather events such as heavy spring flooding, summer heat, drought and increased storm activity have complicated matters, so even experienced gardeners must rethink some of their favorite, go-to plants because of global climate change.
"Climate change has caused a lot of unpredictability," explains Moya Andrews, author of Perennials Short and Tall and host of "Focus on Flowers." The Indiana-based gardener continues, "You once knew that by March you'd have daffodils and forsythia. And probably by late October you'd have your first killing frost, but, now, you can't really be sure."
How have your weather patterns changed? Visit the National Centers for Environmental Information to look up daily summaries during a specified date range for your ZIP Code or city.
Fortunately, although they require more work, there are ways to compensate for increasingly volatile weather patterns in the garden. These, in turn, can further insulate honeybees from the effects of a warming planet.
For example, in potentially water-logged sections, you could erect raised beds. And in dry zones? Add compost, use plants with deep tap roots such as coneflower, and mulch to preserve moisture.
To start your plan, draw an overhead sketch of your garden for honeybees. Do you lack confidence in your drafting skills? Print a geological survey image or Google Maps satellite view of your property instead. Include any trees, shrubs and flowerbeds you've already established, noting when and for how long these typically bloom. Transfer these bloom times to a calendar, and then list the months that include little to no nectar availability.
Also consider the size of additional planting areas you wish to add for your pollinator garden. Sketch these new areas onto your map. If your region is increasingly subject to hot, dry summers, you should also consider how much access to water you'll need in order to keep your new pollinator plantings alive.
This is also the time to identify microclimates on your property. Does the area that will contain your new pollinator garden have low spots that flood, or extra hot, dry areas? Mark your map accordingly.
Know the Power of Flowers
As a rule, clusters of flowers comprising larger flower heads—think yarrow, lavender and some sunflower varieties—are especially attractive to bees. When choosing what to plant, remember that many hardiness zones have shifted over time. Examine seed packets and plant tags to ensure their requirements match your microclimate. Also, choose only pesticide-free products.
Check your list of months with little or no nectar availability and start filling in the gaps. Need winter-flowering plants? Try witch hazel, snowdrops and winter aconite. For spring? Consider lilacs, bluebells, daffodils, hyacinths, lily-of-the-valley, alliums, irises and poppies. In summer, black-eyed Susans, beebalm, catnip, mint, purple coneflower, salvia and verbena are invaluable. And try asters, Joe-pye weed, pineapple sage, sedum, stonecrop and zinnias for fall. Have volunteers such as goldenrod and ironweed? Let these weedy-but-wonderful honeybee resources flourish.
Finally, bees also need water. Line a shallow saucer with pebbles and fill it with water to create a "bee bath." Including a pollinator garden sign to educate passers-by is also a nice touch.

Cricket: Team India's Need for Speed
1.45K // 31 Jul 2011, 21:42 IST
'Solid but Safe'…this is what the media decried about MS Dhoni's captainship after he failed to press home the advantage India had over the Diminutive Windies (an oxymoron in itself) and seemed content with 1-0 series win instead of a impending whitewash. Rain obviously had a lion's share of the blame in this expended opportunity…ably assisted by our conservative batsmanship and fear of losing. But according to me, one of the primary reasons why India fail to knuckle down the opposition (not just the WI series but the England tour also and overseas in general) is the lack of a genuine pacer who can tear apart the opposition and deliver the knockout jab. What Team India needs is a bowler who can run in and instill fear in the minds of the opposition, a quickie who can sharpen our canines and put on display our killer instinct!
'Why can't we produce out-an-out fast bowlers?' …this is a question that has haunted Indian cricket right for eons. Maybe a Ramchandra Guha can answer it judiciously. How difficult for a cricket frenzy nation like India it is to find 'one'…just 'one' bowler who can bowl at a top speed of 150 + kmph and average speed of 140-145 kmph? Probability figures suggests very high chances of achieving this (considering more than 20% of the population of all cricket playing nations dwells in India) but reality begs to differ.
What we manage to produce instead are hot pan cakes in the domestic arena that fizzle down by the time they manage to clamber to the international arena (either to prolong one's career or to maintain line and length). West Indian fast bowling legend Andy Roberts is not the only one to be baffled by the phenomenon of young Indian pacers suddenly losing speed after showing early promise and start "spinning the ball". He mentioned this by claiming Munaf Patel as the most recent victim of this anomaly which is turning out to be more mysterious than the Bermuda triangle. Munaf joins a long list of Domestic-fast to International-Medium pace converts….Irfan Pathan, Zaheer Khan, RP Singh, Ashish Nehra just to name a few (the list is listless to say the least).
Here is a list of top 10 peak speeds scaled by Indian's and it is not a surprise that none have been able to maintain an average above 140 kmph.
Note: The list is based on data gathered from Google and may not be accurate but is certainly indicative
J Srinath 155Kmph (96, South Africa tour)
Ishant Sharma 153Kmph (2008 Australia tour)
A Nehra 149 Kmph (2003 World cup)
S Sreesanth 149 Kmph (Kuala Lumpur tri series 2006)
RP Singh 147 Kmph ( 2008 Australia series)
A Agarkar 146 Kmph (around 2001-2002)
Z Khan 146 Kmph ( 2003 world cup)
A Bhandari 145 Kmph (2004 Aus tour)
VRV Singh 145 Kmph (2006 Africa tour)
Munaf Patel 143 Kmph (early 2006)
Whenever I moot this idea (India's Need for Speed) to my friends I am faced with a lot of flak. Some say we are a spin dominated country and should maintain our strength and identity. Others justify that we are at a stage where we dominate 2 out of the 3 forms of present day without a genuine fast bowler. 'Why change things' is their logic? I say there is no harm in a James Anderson or a Chris Tremlett ably supported by a Graeme Swann. If England & South Africa can churn out quality spinners, it's high time India reciprocates. One of their theories to which I partially agree is that- line and length matters more than speed…Shaun Pollock, Glen McGrath etc are all top class because of their length/line. In fact 4 out of the top 5 wicket takers (excluding spinners) in tests are bowlers who have mastered the craft of smart bowling. But then what is wrong if your best bowler (in terms of line and length) has a 150+ kmph bowl hurling accomplice at the other end to back up. Even Pollock & McGrath had Donald and Lee soothing batsmen from the other end.
Analysts say it's the gene build up of Indian Homo sapiens which prevents the birth of a fast bowler; which I think is baseless, as our neighbours, who are genetically not so different, seems to produce fast bowlers copiously. One valid agreement is that maybe that fast bowlers abroad follow rigorous training procedures & have a balanced diet routine unlike their Indian counterparts. The other arguments that seem to have true semblance to some extent are lack of good bowling coaches at the club level, only one good pace academy for a population of 1.2 billion and the Sachin factor (where everyone wants to emulate him and take up batting)
The best explanation I could envisage for our Achilles heel (lack of good fast bowlers) is the paucity of good sporting pitches. The state of lip smacking pitches for pacers in India is as vile as infrastructure for other field sports in India besides cricket. It is no good developing fast bowlers in the MRF pace academy and then leaving them stranded in domestic matches with a dust bowl or concrete-like strip to deal with. P.G. Wodehouse would have described this as analogous to developing state-of-the-art facilities for breeding poultry and then handing them over to a butcher even before they conceive.
There seems to be a huge disconnect between the pitches provided in Ranji tournaments and ones available internationally. Budding cricketers would want to take up fast bowling in a batsmen dominated game only when they taste success early on in their career. This is where U-15 & U-19 tours to England, New Zealand should be made more frequent in addition to developing sporting pitches within the country. BCCI's unwillingness to prepare pitches that will foster the art of fast bowling is perplexing to say the least. Maybe it's time for them to get over the IPL saga & showcasing their dominance over world cricket and start thinking about encouraging genuine pace bowlers in the country.
As a true cricket fan, I am waiting for the day when an Indian fast bowler not only tops the fastest bowlers list but is also able to rip apart the opposition on a consistent basis to deliver overseas Test victories abroad. Until then, the wait is on!
Suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) for cricket as a whole and more so about Team India! I guess the only way to cure this is by giving vent to my thoughts here

Bristol Half Marathon - PACE
On 6 September 2009, a bright sunny day, the 21st Bristol Half Marathon took place and was deemed a huge success. The overall male winner was Ezekie Cherop with a time of 1:03:26 and the female winner was Claire Hallisey with a time of 1:12:03 and she has now secured her place in the world half marathon championships in Birmingham. Claire is a local runner with the Bristol and West running club which is an apt celebration of the 21st half marathon in Bristol.
The half marathon, a course of 13.1 miles (21 km), took in Bristol's historic harbourside and led runners underneath Brunel's famous Clifton Suspension Bridge. It was billed as the race for all abilities, being mostly at sea level.
The main event was supported by the Everyone Active Business Challenge, the key focus of this race being to bring the business community together and encourage team spirit amongst colleagues. Teams consisted of four to six runners and at least four members had to complete the race to earn a hand-blown, etched glass trophy supplied by Bristol Blue Glass. Prizes were given for both the fastest male, Ian Streeter 1:15:54 and fastest female Claire Somerton 1:35:55.
One of the most memorable entrants of the day was a group of 10 servicemen from the 19th Regiment Royal Artillery who had decided to carry a helicopter blade between them for the duration of the half marathon to raise awareness of Support our Heroes. They raised more than £1,000 for the Army Benevolent Fund.
The race charities for this year were St Peter's Hospice, CLIC Sargent, a charity which helps to ease the burden of childhood cancer for the children and their families and COCO (Comrades of Children Overseas)

Seller Faq's – Melody Samuel Real Estate
Why Should I Use An Agent ?
Selling a home is a serious matter and involves a lot of legal paperwork. Your Melody Samuel Agent will not only professionally market your home but also manage all the paperwork and legalities and ensure the whole process is completed smoothly and safely.
Do i have to pay a Commission to my broker?
The standard commission is 6% of the sales price. Normally a seller will pay this to their broker upon completion of a successful sale.
Your Melody Samuel Agent will check previous listings in the are and market trends and availability to out together a fair and exciting value of your home. Based on your urgency to sell, the price of your home can be modified to entice buyers.
How Long Will Take To Sell My Home ?
In addition to addressing any major defects before listing your home for sale, it's recommended to ensure all rooms are de-cluttered, well lit, clean and that no foul odors are present.
Is Staging Required ?
It is not required but always recommended. Choosing neutral paint colors and removing any clutter, family photos, creates a blank canvas for buyers to envision themselves living in your home.
Can I Be Present When Buyers Come See The Home ?
We discourage owners from being present during open houses. Having the owner in the house makes the buyers uncomfortable. They feel as though they can't make comments or ask questions that could be offensive. Home owners also have a tendency to be highly protective and might feel insulted by any remarks from buyers.
Earnest Money is normally a advance payment made by the buyer to showcase their serious intentions of buying your home and is accompanied with their buying offer.
Once a listing agreement is signed, your Melody Samuel Agent will attach a secure lockbox on your house, granting only real estate agents the ability to safely and securely enter your home. The best way to sell your home is to make it available to be seen. Therefore, your agent will work with you and buyer's agents to ensure showings are scheduled within an appropriate time frame.

In 2000, when Zhang Rujing planned to build a chip manufacturing factory in mainland China with his team, we “saw” the trend of rising local wafer factories in mainland China and the ambition and talent of the entrepreneurial team. In 2004, when Yin Zhiyao’s team headed to Silicon Valley to raise capital, we “saw” the potential of Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment Inc. (AMEC), as a new international equipment manufacturer, fighting its way out of the high-end semiconductor manufacturer giants and becoming an Asia-based integrated circuit equipment giant itself. In 2016, when Habana Labs was established in Israel, we “saw” that the overwhelming application of artificial intelligence in data centers, as verified in Intel’s acquisition of Habana Labs for $2 billion in 2019; when former Oracle executive Rodrigo Liang, Prof. Kunle Olukotun and Prof. Chris Re from Stanford University founded SambaNova in the United States in 2017, we “saw” its innovations in machine learning algorithms and software-defined hardware. As an art, investment is like the sculptures by their creators, which release the lion in marble; it is also like the ink paintings by Chinese painters, which bring the bamboo in the mind to life on the paper.

The first step is to schedule a free consultation with our professional medical injectionist, Dr Richard Yang. He is a GP with more than 15 years’ experience administering injectable fillers. He’ll discuss your health and medical history with you, ask about your goals, assess the areas you want to have treated, and will answer any questions you have.
We’ll apply a numbing gel to the areas to be treated, to help minimize discomfort. Once this has taken effect, the treatment will begin. The filler is injected through a fine needle into the outer layer of your skin. At regular intervals, your injectionist will massage the treatment area until the desired effect is achieved. Your dermal filler treatment should take less than 30 minutes.
The newly injected HA will begin to bind water molecules to increase volume below the skin. You may have a tiny bit of bleeding, and you’ll see some redness in the area, which will go away within the hour. You’ll also see some swelling, but majority of it will be gone within three days.
You’ll be able to return to your daily routine right away, and our injectionist will call you within a week to make sure you’re not experiencing any negative effects.
Wrinkle injection is a muscle relaxant that helps smooth out fine lines associated with aging in the upper half of the face. This is accomplished by relaxing the facial muscles, allowing the skin to plump up again on its own.

Al Thumama stadium in detail: an innovative modular system that allows to see a brighter future after the Qatar 2022 World Cup
23 | APR 2019
06 JUN | 2018
Al Thumana, Doha, Qatar
Set to be completed in 2020, meet the only stadium in the world that will have a "legacy mode" button.
fter two years of work, and two more to be completed, Al Thumama stadium is one of the gems of Qatar 2022. It will be able to host 40,000 fans during the World Cup, but it's the first stadium that will be able to enter the 'legacy mode' after the tournament: its capacity will decrease to 20,000 seats. This is thanks to a demountable modular seating sections which Qatar's Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy will donate to developing football nations after the tournament. Qatar believes this proposal will ensure that the country is left with stadiums fit for purpose beyond 2022, while [...]
MUNDBØL
Twitter: @mundbol
Our views from a lost island in the middle of the Ocean, hoping to find a message in a bottle.
[...] simultaneously creating a significant legacy of international football development. What's more, its design will pay homage to the gafhiya, a traditional component in the Arab dress.
-Why is it called Al Thumama?
-The stadium takes its name from the busy residential Doha suburb of Al Thumama, which is where the stadium is being built. Al Thumama is six km south of Doha's famous Corniche and just five km from Doha's state-of-the-art Hamad International Airport, which will handle over 200,000 travelling fans a day come tournament time.
-What was the reason behind choosing Al Thumama as a proposed Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup stadium site?
-Part of our bid was to build centrally located stadiums that would enable fans and players to feel the full benefits of a compact FIFA World Cup™ and Al Thumama is located close to central Doha, the airport, which will handle over 200,000 travelling fans a day come tournament time, and also some of Qatar's largest highways. Al Thumama Stadium will also be situated close to various new metro stations, enabling fans to effortlessly travel between hotels and stadiums to watch multiple live matches per day thanks to the compact nature of the tournament.
We wanted to ensure the tournament leaves world class sporting infrastructure that Qatar's local communities can use long after the tournament has finished. Al Thumama will feature outdoor training pitches, volleyball, handball and basketball courts, aquatics center, horse riding, running and cycling tracks as well as community retail spaces to ensure the stadium is used by Al Thumama's residents long after the tournament has finished.
Al Thumama has also been associated with Qatari football for eight years and the site previously held four Qatar Football Association (QFA) training pitches, so we wanted to ensure it remained central to Qatar's footballing history.
-
Who is building the stadium?
-Al Thumama is being built by a Qatar-Turkey joint venture (JV) between AlJaber Engineering and Turkey's largest construction company, Tekfen Construction. Arab Engineering Bureau (AEB), the oldest architectural and engineering consulting firm in Qatar, will be the Design & Construction Supervision Consultant. Architectural Design Consultant Heerim, who recently worked on the stunning Baku Olympic Stadium in Azerbaijan, will also be working on the stadium project.
-Who designed Al Thumama Stadium?
-The stadium was designed by renowned Qatari architect, Ibrahim M. Jaidah. Jaidah is a renowned Qatari designer and was behind some of the country's most iconic building, including Qatar Museum's Fire Station gallery and Doha's new Ministry of Interior building. Arab Engineering Bureau (AEB), the oldest architectural and engineering consulting firm in Qatar, were hired as Design & Construction Supervision Consultant in 2015.
-What is the inspiration behind the design?
-Al Thumama's distinct white bowl design, adorned with an intricate pattern, is based on the 'gahfiya', an essential component of traditional Arab dress. The gahfiya holds in place the 'ghutra' and 'aghal', which together form a symbol of dignity and independence.
-Are there any special design features?
-The roof structure is a self‐anchored tensile‐compression ring system which is based on the principle of a horizontal spoked wheel. With regard to sustainability, this solution beats most conventional roof structures.
-What will happen to the stadium after the tournament has finished?
-We wanted to ensure the tournament leaves world class sporting infrastructure that Qatar's local communities can use long after the tournament has finished. Al Thumama, one of our most centrally located stadiums – set in the heart of a residential district – will feature outdoor training pitches, volleyball, handball and basketball courts, horse, running and cycling tracks as well as community retail spaces. There will also be a boutique hotel to ensure the stadium is used long after the tournament has finished.
The stadium's capacity will also decrease to 20,000 in legacy mode thanks to demountable modular seating sections that we will donate to developing football nations after the tournament. The remaining 20,000-seater Al Thumama Stadium will also become home for a local Qatari football club. Qatar believes this proposal will ensure that Qatar is left with stadiums fit for purpose beyond 2022, while simultaneously creating a significant legacy of international football development.
-Will the stadium have cooling technology?
-In common with all of our stadiums, it will use advanced cooling technologies to maintain a comfortable temperature for players, fans and officials.
-How will fans be able to reach the stadium in 2022?
-Al Thumama Stadium will be one of our most connected stadiums considering its close proximity to central Doha. It is just six km south of Doha's famous Corniche and just five km from Doha's state-of-the-art Hamad International Airport, which will have capacity to handle over 200,000 travelling fans a day come tournament time. It is also situated close to various metro stations, enabling fans to effortlessly travel between hotels and other stadiums is they want to watch multiple live matches per day. Qatar's public works authority, Ashghal, is also building dozens of new highways and embarking on a major upgrade project to existing roads and highways, all of which will serve the tournament in a little over five years' time.
-What games will be played there during the 2022 tournament?
-The stadium will host group stage games as well as quarter final matches in 2022.
-How sustainable is the stadium's design?
-The stadium's design and construction aims to achieve 4 Stars level of certification from GSAS Design & Build. A significant proportion of selected construction materials are made of recyclable materials. The environmental management plan is audited and reported in accordance with authority regulations.
-What impact will it have on the local community?
-Once the last ball has been kicked in 2022, the stadium will become a sporting and leisure hub for Al Thumama's communities. The stadium and precinct will feature a boutique hotel, outdoor training pitches, volleyball, handball and basketball courts, horse, running and cycling tracks as well as community retail spaces to ensure the stadium is used long after the tournament has finished.
During the tournament, local businesses located in the Al Thumama district will also benefit from the influx of football fans into the area, as well as possible exhibition test matches in the buildup to the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup™.
-Do the contractors building the stadium have to adhere to the SC's Workers' Welfare Standards?
-Every contractor engaged on a Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup™ project must adhere to our strict Workers' Welfare Standards. Our Workers' Welfare Standards are a set of mandatory, contractually binding rules which ensure that any company working on one of our projects operates in line with our values. The standards clearly set out the SC's requirements regarding the recruitment, employment, living and working conditions for everyone engaged on an SC project.
We hold ourselves and our partners accountable to our Workers' Welfare Standards, regularly monitoring adherence to them, and we immediately address any cases where a party falls short. We also waste no time in amending the standards themselves if we discover they are insufficient in any way. As working practices and conditions change over time, our regulations must be fluid enough to react and ensure that workers are properly protected.
-Does Qatar still plan on building eight stadiums or is FIFA asking for 10?
-Qatar's bid to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup™ included 12 stadiums. As is the case with any FIFA World Cup™, once a country is chosen as host, a review of the bid plans is made with the Local Organising Committee (LOC) to propose the final host city and stadium projects, for approval by the FIFA Council. This is the same process that all FIFA World Cup™ host nations undergo.
For Qatar, the process of selecting the final line-up of proposed host venues is ongoing. In due course, the final proposal for stadiums will be submitted. The requirement is a minimum of eight and a maximum of 12 stadiums. As it stands, we are progressing eight stadiums, seven built from scratch and one refurbished, Khalifa International Stadium, which we launched in May 2017.
-Has the recent blockade affected construction costs and timings?
-The blockade doesn't affect our plans and it is business as usual in our preparations for the tournament in Qatar in 2022. We delivered our first venue stadium, Khalifa International Stadium, fully five and a half years ahead of time, when HH the Emir opened it ahead of the Emir Cup Final (Qatar's equivalent of the FA Cup Final) in May. We aim to complete two more stadia by the end of next year, in record time [Ø].
Location: Al Thumama (six km south of Doha and five km from Hamad International Airport).
Build project: Designed by renowned Qatari architect Ibrahim M. Jaidah. Qatar based Arab Engineering Bureau (AEB) will oversee construction, which is being carried out by a joint venture between AlJaber Engineering (Qatar) and Tekfen Construction (Turkey).
Completion date: 2020 (construction began in 2016).
2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar™ matches: Al Thumama Stadium will host group stage and quarter-final matches.
Capacity: 40,000. The stadium's capacity will decrease to 20,000 after the tournament due to demountable seating, a design feature central to Qatar's bid.
Design inspiration: Al Thumama's design is based on the 'gahfiya', an essential component of traditional Arab dress.
Accessibility: Al Thumama Stadium will be one of the tournament's most connected stadiums. It is just six km south of Doha's famous Corniche and just five km from the state-of-the-art Hamad International Airport, which will have capacity to handle over 200,000 travelling fans a day come tournament time. It is also situated close to various metro stations and will be served by a number of new highways and upgraded road networks come 2022.
Cooling Technology: Innovative and environmentally friendly cooling technology will be installed at Al Thumama Stadium. The technology uses district cooling, air treatment and smart control systems to deliver an optimal environment for spectators and players alike. It will be able to lower the temperature within the stadium to 18 degrees Celsius.
Legacy mode: After the 2022 FIFA World Cup™, the stadium will become a sporting and leisure hub for Al Thumama's communities. The stadium will feature a boutique hotel, outdoor training pitches, volleyball, handball and basketball courts, aquatic centre, horse riding, running and cycling tracks as well as community retail spaces to ensure the stadium is used long after the tournament has finished.

Wildlife Trapping | Springfield Animal Exterminator
Springfield Wildlife Trapping
We are experts in wildlife trapping. Trapping is an art! It can take years of training. Amateur homeowners never get it right - trap placement, trap type, pan tension, animal sign, and so many subtle factors are critical to success, not to mention the well-being of the animals. Be sure to set traps in the shade, on animal trails, with no wobble, no meat bait to attract stray cats, no nearby items the animal can damage, etc. Trapping alone is only a part of the wildlife control process. In some cases it does solve the problem. In most cases, trapping alone does not. We have the necessary permits, Illinois licensing, rabies vaccinations, and more to ensure safe and legal trapping.

So, if gravity pulls everything down, then why don't things on the bottom of the Earth get pulled down into space? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about gravity and explains that when we talk about gravity pulling things down, what we really mean is gravity is pulling things TOWARD the Earth. Really, it's all about attraction.
Matter is everything around us. It is anything made of atoms and molecules and it is anything that has mass and takes up space. If you don't understand mass, think it as the amount of stuff in an object.Matter can exist in 4 different states e.g. solid,liquid,gas and plasma.
Objects keep changing their states due to heat and pressure e.g.water can move in different phases like it changes to ice on freezing & ice can change back to water through heating due to evaporation.
A single displacement reaction is one in which a single element replaces another element which is in a compound.
In a displacement reaction, only elements having higher reactivity can replace elements having lower reactivity from their salt solutions.

The PDCA (Parc Derwen Community Association) are proud to announce that as of 10.59 on Friday the 18th of November the association and committee is now active and set up to serve the wonderful community of Parc Derwen.
We have decided to set this up to address the shortfall of services to Parc Derwen. We have a lot of things planned but rest assured YOU the resident WILL benefit from it. A copy of our constitution is available on request.
So to start as we mean to go on, we intend to begin a drive for funds to help the less fortunate this Christmas. Details to follow in due course.
It is so cold in Paris at the moment that I gave up using my scooter and... take the metro whenever I have to go somewhere far. That's what I did last night. When the train arrived I saw it was all covered in Christmas decorations. I had never seen that before. Of course, it's not the RATP (the Paris Public Transport Authorities) that wish to celebrate Christmas with its customers, but a brand willing to attract our attention ;-) What brand? Well I'm sure you know it all. But to find out, click here, you'll have a broader view of the train and you'll see the name of the brand.
I haven't been able to leave comments here much lately, that time of the year when everybody's crazy to get things done at work and leave for the Holidays. This year I'm even in a bigger hurry to get things done cause I'm taking a vacation come January!!!
But I check PDP everyday through my email and I never, ever, not even for a day, stop missing Paris.
It's amazing hoe anything with the word Paris in catches my attention... I miss it so...I love it so!
Just discovered this blog last week; it is WONDERFUL! My wife and I went to Paris for the first time in September for eight days and fell in love with it. We did not encounter a single "rude" Parisian; everyone was friendly and helpful. It may be because we did not do most of the touristy things but tried to mingle with the citizens, go where they went, eat what they ate and so on. I tried to use the French I learned in high school and that just made the people friendlier; they stood by patiently and tried to help me get the words out. Paris is FANTASTIC!!!
Your blog never fails to make me nostalgic for Paris. Particularly at the moment. I'm not a huge fan of summer and is 32 degrees celsius in my home in Australia today. Wishing I was wrapped in winter scarf and coat and braving the wintery streets of Paris.
And I don't know if the metro will be sold on EBay but that's a clever idea to buy ad space on it at least for Parisian customers.
Now, I'm amazed when I hear how some people sold sometimes their presents immediately after receiving them from Christmas. I heard the 26th of December is a huge trafic day on Ebay, because of that... Well I would not do that, or maybe not that way, even if I didn't like so much a present I had been given but Ok I can admit that's probably because I'm not starving from having money in return.
That's probably the sense of this huge Ebay advertisement at this period, anyway... So they know, it works.
I'm guessing that everyone is out Christmas shopping or something Eric because I love this photo. It's so surreal in many ways and you captured it well.
Advertisers do this sometimes on the shuttle that runs under 42nd Street between Times Square and Grand Central. I'm sorry it's too cold for your scooter, Eric
(I've had to give up walking across the Brooklyn Bridge for now—too cold here too), but at least you have a very good metro to get around on!
Don't mean to be rude, but I'm enjoying the fact that you have to take the Metro! I LOVE Metro photos.

Girls basketball: Fisher crosses 1,000-point threshold - Salisbury Post | Salisbury Post
Girls basketball: Fisher crosses 1,000-point threshold
Published 1:15 am Saturday, December 13, 2014
Wayne Hinshaw Kelli Fisher (52) gave the game ball and balloons to her father, Mark Fisher, after scoring her 1,000th point.
GRANITE QUARRY — East Rowan senior Kelli Fisher enjoyed a most productive game Friday night. First the 6-3 center took care of a milestone then she manhandled the visiting Northwest Cabarrus Trojans in a 70-35 rout.
The four year varsity starter, headed for UNC-Asheville next year,came into last night's game needing just four points to reach to 1000 point career mark. She took care of that midway in the first period. Then she proceeded to rack up 25 points and 19 rebounds to lead her team to the South Piedmont Conference win. As usual she remained very humble.
"I could not have done any of this without God, my coaches and my teammates," Fisher said. "I feel like it just signifies a good team and being able to work with my teammates."
Fisher's 1000 point career mark came with 4:35 left in the first quarter on a layup after a perfect feed from Amani Ajayi. The game was stopped briefly for Coach Danielle Porter to present her with a commemorative game ball while the crowd gave her a standing ovation.
"I just love coaching her," Porter said of her star center. "But everybody does. She is probably the most popular girl in Granite Quarry and an awesome young lady. Yet she never worries about points, she just wants to help her team win."
Fisher could easily have set the career mark the previous night in a non-conference win at Salisbury High. But with a big lead,, Porter pulled Fisher from the game just two baskets shy of the 1000 mark. That way she could celebrate the moment in front of the home crowd last night.
The game itself last night was never in doubt as East (5-1, 3-1) used pressure defense and the inside play of Fisher and Ajayi to roll up a 22-4 lead on the winless Trojans. By halftime it was 39-13 as Fisher had 19 points and 16 rebounds. To their credit, the young Trojans (0-7, 0-4) battled East almost on even terms in the third quarter but the deficit still continued to grow. NWC got the score under 25 briefly but when guard Shelby Lowe converted a steal into a lay-up plus one, East was up 62-39.
"We are just very young but we are growing," Trojan Coach Lamont Johnson stated. "We just could not stop (Fisher). She is a huge force to reckon with. But we are going to get to where we need to be by the end of the season."
In addition to Fisher's big night, Ajayi had her best effort of the season with 16 points. Shenell Pharr had 5 points, 7 rebounds and six steals while Shenique Pharr and Shelby Benge also had 5 each. Savannah Lambert and Joy Smith topped the Trojans with nine each.
Porter noted her team had a couple of lapses on defense and some turnovers but she was definitely happy with the 35 point win. "We always emphasize to the team that we don't change what we do regardless of who we are playing," she said. "We just try to do what we do best."
Right now that would primarily involve feeding the ball inside to Kelli Fisher.
NW Cabarrus (35): Lambert 9, Smith 9, Robinson 7, Campbell 4, Robinson 2, Meyer 2, Smithy-Rogers 2, Alexander, Thompson, Bost, Shaw.
East Rowan (70): Fisher 25, SAjayi 16, J. Lowe 6, Shenell Pharr, 5, Shenique Pharr 5, Benge 5, Eller 3, S. Lowe 3, Troutman 2, Drew.

I think I need a home visit how can I arrange this? « Portcullis Surgery
Home visits are usually for patients who are completely housebound such as terminally ill patients or patients who are very frail and elderly and too unwell to come to the Surgery.
If you usually go for appointments to your dentist, optician or go out shopping or to the hairdressers with transport by a relative or friend or by public transport or taxi then you would not normally be eligible for a home visit unless you are very unwell in an emergency.
If your child or you have a temperature or a rash, please call the surgery in advance and let us know but coming to the Surgery will do no harm or endanger others. It is appreciated if patients can attend Surgery if at all possible.
Appointments at the surgery are usually quicker for the patient, and we have better facilities to treat you such as better equipment or additional tests we can do at the practice.
If you think you need a home visit them please telephone the Surgery before 10:30am. on the day you need your visit and give the Receptionist as much information as possible, so that the Doctor can give the request appropriate priority.
A doctor or nurse may call you back to see if your problem can be dealt with over the telephone. If appropriate you may be visited by a nurse instead of a doctor to visit you or we may arrange a district nurse to visit you instead. If we feel the medical problem is urgent we may call 999 or arrange a hospital attendance for you.

Debating With Insanity
Wed Sep 26, 2012 at 07:18 AM PDT
On Maddow last night something was said that got me thinking. In the first segment nearing the end of the interview she said and I'm not quoting but summarizing, that much of the moderates and the left want a sane and competent right.
It got me thinking, and really thinking hard about how far off the rails the GOP has gone and though while we me stomp them this year, both at the Presidential election but now increasingly at the Senate and quite possible the House, part of me while thinking about this wishes we weren't having to stop the barbarians at the gates as it were.
After the orange gate I'll be ranting a little, espousing some, and maybe just letting some steam out, if you feel like reading...thanks in advance.
We all know where we are now in this election season, and most of us realize its only going to get worse. We are at a point where literally the Onion cannot even make this crap up anymore. Members of congress literally making things up and pulling them out of the ethos, on the congressional floor even. Literally what is supposed to account for hallowed halls of reasoned and sometimes though heated debate, a discussion and debate based in reality and facts.
The rule of law and all that.
But that's not where we are. We have a Vice Presidential candidate who lies with impunity about the changes made to Medicare from the Affordable Care Act. Lies about how it steals from beneficiaries to give to some magical new entitlement program called Obama Care.
And Mitt, lets not get started there. There are a litany of lies, miss truths, and just down right despicable behavior by a man I am quite convinced literally has such a disdain for anyone outside his money circle, he wouldn't deign you his urine to put you out, should you happen to be on fire.
And when you call these people on their lies, its as if they hit a reset machine. Nothing gets walked back anymore, nothing! I mean seriously, "I didn't say it quite as elegently as I could have"
Excuse me, but WHAT THE HELL MAN? How can you elegantly say your writing off half the nation because they are victims, which in and of itself is a damned lie as well!
I feel as if I am arguing my crazy Uncle at the Thanksgiving Day table anytime policy discussions come up anymore.
And in these times, in a world of normalcy we would have a press that would call these people out for their insanity. However instead, they either trumpet it over and over again or they just ignore the stupid. Imagine if you were standing at a street corner and some crazy person was screaming at the sky "ITS RED ITS RED ITS RED" and instead of the guy standing next to you saying "No its blue, you crazy moron" they turn to you and ask "He says its red, you say its blue" and then turning to the crowd "And that's the argument we see before us"
Listen press, YOUR NOT HELPING. Look up assholes, THE SKY IS BLUE! Stop giving that raving lunatic on the corner air time. Or here, if you do give him air time then please point the camera up and show your viewers how wrong he is!
And here is the thing though. Its only going to get worse. You back a dying animal into a corner and it tends to do crazy things and gets very wild and feral. And right now? We have that elephant backed into a corner. About the only thing we can do is minimize the damage its death throes may cause.
But what about after though?
Will certain parts of the GOP continue to double down or perhaps maybe can a portion of them steer it back to sanity? This nation needs two sides to an argument or debate, but we cannot continue to debate an opponent that doesn't deal in reality. It does nothing to move this nation forward and it continues to make us the laughing stock of the world to many nations.
Thankfully it appears that much of the nation is realizing this. Many in the nation are realizing that right now one side is debating and arguing in good faith while the other side is giving non sequiturs and lies to those questions. And that just doesn't work, we need debate we need compromise at times.
So will the right come back to reality? Honestly I actually hope so because to be honest I'm tired of asking questions about policies and getting answers like

'Pacific Rim' Sequel Already In the Works | 8CN | 8th-Circuit Network
'Pacific Rim' Sequel Already In the Works
on Fri, 06/21/2013 - 08:44
While Pacific Rim has yet to hit theaters, director Guillermo Del Toro has already began preparations for a sequel. Del Toro is eager, but wants to be patient at the same time. He'd like time to work on a video game based on the movie and continue the graphic novel. Travis Beachum, who co-wrote the script for the movie, is writing a prequel graphic novel for the movie.
I have been and will always be a fan of Del Toro's work. I'm anxious to see Pacific Rim in theaters. Del Toro strikes me as a director who has faith in his work. If he's eager to do a sequel, then it might just work. People might scoff at the idea of giant robots fighting giant monsters, but Del Toro knows how to tell a story. [via Deadline]

Burman teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on the Crusades, Medieval Spain and the Mediterranean, Jewish-Christian-Muslim relations in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and medieval and Renaissance intellectual history.
Choose from a 5K or 10K walk and learn about the art, history and culture of Knoxville. The 10K walk begins at 10 a.m. and the 5K at 11 a.m. Both groups should arrive at Market Square about the same time for lunch. Once lunch is done, the walks can be completed.
The McClung Museum of Natural History and Culture hosts a free Family Fun Day from 1-4 p.m. today that focuses on the museum's latest exhibit "Maya: Lords of Time." Visitors can tour the exhibit that explores the Maya's intricate calendar system and how their kings used the calendars, write their birth dates in Mayan symbols and make a take-home craft.
The University of Tennessee museum also hosts a Valentines-centered event for babies, toddlers and their parents or caregivers in February. The museum's upcoming stroller tour at 10 a.m. Feb. 8 focuses on "Love Around the World." The stroller tour is free but participants must register at the events section of the museum website http://mcclungmuseum.utk.edu.
It's open competition for Tennessee football's quarterback job, but senior Jarrett Guarantano is the leader in the clubhouse.
Tennessee plans "to rep six" quarterbacks as the competition unfolds, coach Jeremy Pruitt said after his team's first spring practice. Guarantano spearheads the group. Returners J.T. Shrout and Brian Maurer will aim to unseat him, along with freshmen Harrison Bailey and Jimmy Holiday and walk-on Kasim Hill, a transfer from Maryland.
Is a six-man competition the right way to handle the competition this spring? Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams of the News Sentinel consider that question during this edition of "The Volunteer State."
Adams thinks a six-man quarterback competition sounds a little extreme, and he adds that freshman Harrison Bailey should have opened up higher on the depth chart.
Toppmeyer takes the opposite approach. He thinks it is appropriate for coach Jeremy Pruitt to clear the quarterback slate after a season in which the Vols started four different players at the position.
