Deciduous shrub with pink flowers. It has a fast growth rate. Its leaves are green and it blooms from July until September with pink flowers. It usually grows up to 5m in height and 4m in width. Buddleja Pink Delight grows in full sun and in partial shade and can tolerate up to -15°C degrees.
Arrival of the plants Buddleja Pink Delight - Extract delicately the Buddleja Pink Delight plants from their packages, unhurriedly and with caution. Get them out of the tubular netting which envelops them by cutting the knot under the pot and by pulling it up. If necessary, water them. After some hours, even the plants which at the arrival might have looked crushed or ill will have again a healthy, luxuriant appearance.
Planting of Buddleja Pink Delight - Dig a hole about twice as big and deep as the size of the pot. Plant the Buddleja Pink Delight plants, without putting them too much deep. Fill the hole with a mixture of earth, universal garden soil of excellent quality and fertilizer. Cover the clod with about a couple of centimetres earth. Fill completely the hole with the needed mixture, applying a light pressure all around the plant, so as to compact the earth and not to leave hollows.
Watering of Buddleja Pink Delight - After having planted them, water generously the Buddleja Pink Delight, plants, especially during the warmer months, to compact the earth. Afterwards, keep on watering only when the soil starts to dry, so as to maintain the right humidity level at the roots and to avoid water stagnation problems.
Pruning of Buddleja Pink Delight - At the moment of planting the Buddleja Pink Delight there is no need for major pruning. To encourage a thicker growth, it is enough, if necessary, to go on with a light trimming. Afterwards, go on with a more substantial pruning to give shape and strength to the plants of Buddleja Pink Delight.
Fertilization of Buddleja Pink Delight - Execute two fertilizations in February-March and in September-October, to maintain a steady nutritional supply all year round. | {

The Big Fat Truth
The Biggest Loser co-creator J.D. Roth has seen the most unlikely people achieve the most incredible goals. Here's what sets them apart.
By J.D. Roth
The night before the first winner of The Biggest Loser was announced, the guy in the lead – his name was Gary – went out for a healthy dinner with his family, shared some laughs, talked about what he'd accomplished, and went to sleep. Gary's closest competitor worked out, pushing hard to the bitter end. He beat Gary by 435 grams. Those 435 grams cost Gary $250,000.
When I saw Gary many years later, he was still slim and healthy – but the winner had put all his weight back on. Competition is the premise behind The Biggest Loser, so people motivated by beating others often get the cash. But the real winners are those whose reasons for losing weight evolve into something deeper. Gary was very upset about losing, but then he realised that he wanted to get his life back, and he did. The other guy was in it mostly just to win it. That got him only so far.
Win the Health Head Game
As the man who created the weight-loss TV shows The Biggest Loser, Extreme Weight Loss, Fat Chance and The Revolution, I've seen our participants shed weight, get off serious medications, and do things they had never done or had been avoiding for years. They are able to get their lives back by resolving the issues that made them fat. Addressing your mental and emotional blocks is the secret to sustained weight loss or any other significant life change. By tweaking your mind-set, you have the potential to change your inner dialogue – and your life. Here's how.
Say 'I Can'
The power of an 'I can' mentality can be amazing. A guy named Danny who tried out for The Biggest Loser weighed more than anyone I had ever seen at his age – 19 years old and 204 kg. He couldn't even close his hands to make a fist. I usually think anyone can do anything, but I had my doubts about him. "You scare me," I said. "I don't think we can have you on the show. Honestly, I don't think you can do it. And by the way, where are your shoes?"
"It's too hard to get them on," he replied. "Name it. I'll do anything to be on this show. How do you want me to prove that I can do it?"
I couldn't tell if the desperation in his voice was genuine. "OK," I said, figuring I'd scare him off. "Go out of this room, and take the first door on your right. It's the stairs. Take them down to the bottom" – we were on the 20th floor – "then climb back up." Without hesitation, he walked out of the room, still shoeless.
After about 15 minutes, I became worried and went to locate him. I found him on the ninth floor on his way up, huffing and puffing, spitting and coughing, soaked in sweat. When he finally made it back to the room, he burst through the door, barely able to speak. The place erupted with applause. He did it. Barefoot. The kid went on to appear on the show and lost almost 113 kg over two seasons.
When you say 'I can' to resisting a biscuit and 'I can' to running a 5 km race, it's a small leap to saying 'I can' quit this lousy job and 'I can' tell my partner that I want to be treated better. When you become an 'I can' person, a world of possibility opens.
Take Moses, a Biggest Loser contestant who blew out his knee within the first week. He couldn't run, walk or do anything else that required being on his feet. That was a big problem because, to stay on the show, you have to drop kilograms each week.
So what does this guy do? Fold? A few weeks earlier, he might have played the victim card. But he came up with the idea of shadow-boxing from the edge of his bed for 12 hours a day. Sweat poured off him in rivers. The bed was soaking wet. Desperation is the greatest motivator.
These are ordinary people with ordinary families and ordinary jobs. What set them apart is they believed that they could do something extraordinary. (By the way, have you ever tried to shadow-box in bed for even 12 minutes? It's exhausting – and he did it for 12 hours!) The power of the mind still amazes me each day.
We ask cast members to write down their small victories. One of the best I ever heard was this: "I tried today even when my trainer wasn't looking." Most people would gloss over that, but I read it to the whole group.
"Here's what this guy is really saying," I said. "When no-one was looking before, he wasn't his best as a father, his best as a worker, his best as a husband, his best as a human being. That's what he meant. But today, he said that even when no-one was looking, he gave his best. Is he now going to try harder as a father, a worker, a husband, a human being? That will be a much greater victory than whatever his numbers on the scale end up being."
Little achievements snowball into bigger accomplishments. Small acts of willpower generate confidence.
Do Something Impossible
Jen, a cast member on The Revolution, was a single mother who had recently recovered from a rare form of cancer. When I announced that the first person to burn 30,000 kJ in one day in a challenge would win an iPad, Jen chimed in right away. "I wanted to win for my son," Jen says. "I couldn't afford one."
Jen – and her ten-year-old, Ryan, who stayed with her the whole day – hit the gym at dawn. She took spin classes and worked out on the treadmill, the rowing machine and the stair-climber, hour after gruelling hour. When Jen had about 2000 kJ to go, after nearly 20 straight hours of exercise, the gym was closing. It was 10 pm. So Jen went outside and ran around the gym building by the light of the moon. "I don't know what came over me," says Jen. I didn't want to let my son down. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it too."
Needless to say, Jen won the iPad. But that was the least of what she gave her son. She showed him that she was a superhero. That kid (who's now a high school American football player with offers for a full college scholarship) will never forget the night his mother did the impossible. "That day, I realised that your mind is in control of your body," Jen says. "You can convince yourself to do anything."

Haagsche, founded in 1893, is the earliest club in the Netherlands. The course was designed by Harry S. Colt some forty years later; it was one of his later projects, and the work itself was managed by his protégé, Hugh Allison. Since Colt's reputation has only grown over the years, his layouts have come to be considered heirlooms, and every effort is made to maintain or to restore his original vision and style. The task of managing Colt's legacy has been taken up by Frank Pont in the Netherlands, and at Haggsche his brief includes wholesale revamping of the greens and reproducing Colt's design as faithfully as possible. Thus when the clubhouse burned in 2003, it was rebuilt with period architecture. Situated a few miles from the beach, the links-like course moves among towering sand dunes and trees that were planted by Colt and Allison themselves.
Best course in The Netherlands: excellent conditioning and great 'old school' architectural design. | {

Fight to End Brain Cancer at the BlakeStrong Fest
Indy's Child
The Friends of Garfield Park are pleased to announce BlakeStrong Fest Higher Light 2019 Saturday, July 20, from 4:00 p.m.-9:30 p.m. at the MacAllister Amphitheater in historic Garfield Park. Garfield Park is located at 2432 Conservatory Drive, Indianapolis. The annual event celebrates the life and memory of Blake Bowell and his courageous brain cancer fight and is co-sponsored by the Friends of Garfield Park, Inc., Bud Light, Prime 47-Indy's Steakhouse and Indy Parks.
BlakeStrong Fest is a unique opportunityto bring neighbors together for food, drinks, and fun.
Connecting the power of music to raise awareness and funds to support families in central Indiana who are enduring the fight against brain cancer. A $10.00 donation for admission is requested.
The Third Annual BlakeStrong Fest will include two Budweiser beer trucks, numerous food trucks, frozen treats, a kids/family area, live music and dancing. New to the festival is an exceptional, music line-up, including four of Indianapolis's most popular acts. Local favorite and headliner, HyRyder (A Grateful Dead experience), will perform at 8:00 p.m. Opening acts include Free But Not Cheap at 4:00p.m., followed by The Lookouts at 5:15 p.m. and Barbender at 6:30p.m. Special appearances will be made by local songstress Cathy Morris and the Indianapolis 500 Gordon Pipers. There is free parking throughout the park in designated lots and neighborhoodstreets.
The family of a 25-year-old who died of brain cancer in 2017 is continuing his legacy of helping others. BlakeStrong Fest is in honor of Blake Bowell who died nearly four years after he was diagnosed with brain cancer. Throughout his four-year battle, his family says he was always positive and never complained about what he was going through. In fact, the Franklin Central alumnus known for his running wanted to help other patients. Before his passing, Blake and his father, Mark, established the BlakeStrong Bowell Fund, a foundation dedicated to helping fund cancer research and providing financial assistance for those in need.
Since its inception in 2014, the BlakeStrong Bowell Fund has contributed to over a dozen local and national causes. Annual scholarships include the BlakeStrong College Scholarship awarded to two Franklin Central High School Track and Field Seniors and the Webber International Warrior Scholarship awarded to one Football Player.
Additional funding is provided to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the American Cancer Society, and the National Brain Tumor Society. This year funds raised will also go to the Friends of Garfield Park for the ongoing maintenance of the soon to be dedicated Blake's Garden in the park.
"We are thrilled to be hosting BlakeStrong Fest again this year at Garfield Park. The entertainment scheduled should provide something for everyone and we hope to see many friends – old and new – out for this special day!" said BlakeStrong Fund Vice President Lakin Bowell.
The BlakeStrong Bowell Fund uses funds raised for community programs and supports families by offering scholarships and financial support to young members of the community in need. Additionally, the fund provides support to other community groups including Riley Hospital for Children, and Purdue University Cancer Research.

Gardiner man who allegedly threatened to kill police officers arrested
Scott York, 42, was found hiding in a garage in Chelsea, Maine State Police say.
By Dennis HoeyPortland Press Herald
A Gardiner man who allegedly said he was going to kill police officers if they tried to apprehend him was arrested Saturday in Chelsea.
Scott York, 42, was found hiding in a garage at 188 Ferry Road, Maine State Police said in a post on the agency's Facebook page.
He was apprehended by members of the Maine State Police Tactical team as well as state troopers and a police dog called Haro.
According to police, York had active arrest warrants for reckless conduct, burglary, criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, criminal restraint and probation revocation, all stemming from a home invasion that took place earlier this year in Gardiner.
Troopers had been looking for York all week because "they received credible information from multiple informants that York was making statements he was going to kill police if he was to be taken into custody." Police also believed he was in possession of a handgun.
York was taken into custody without incident. During their search of the Ferry Road property, officers seized drugs and drug paraphernalia.

Mexico has some interesting ideas about New Year's Eve and how you can get what you want later in the year. What do you think of this list of dos and don'ts from Focus on Mexico?
**Eat lentils for prosperity. Make a little package of lentils and carry it in your purse all year long so you will have money.
**Walk out of your house with suitcases in your hands at midnight to make trips during the year. You can also walk around the block.
**To have your wishes come true in the new year, eat 12 grapes during the 12 times the bells ring at midnight and make 12 wishes.
**Throw a bucket of water out of your house to clean it from bad vibes.
**Sweep money inside to have prosperity. Put money in your shoes for prosperity.
** Write on a paper everything you don't want anymore in your life like sadness, anger, etc… and then burn it.
This year, the Flores family bypassed every single one of these traditions. We didn't even head up the hill for the yearly BYOB (bring your own bucket) family bonfire. And you know what? Nothing bad happened! At least, so far.
On the other hand, there are some new traditions in line with our resolutions that we'd like to implement. I have already begun the Transition Year, as I have dubbed 2016-2017. Along with some personal goals that will be revealed in due course, I have some blogging goals that begin today!
Each month, I will endeavor to find a Woman Writer in Mexico to feature and share with you. In line with starting things out right, this month's inspiring woman writer is Monique Alvarez.
"Your life is your adventure' …say Yes to whatever beckons your heart. Make decisions that line up with your soul…..Push yourself past where you think you can go. Surprise yourself with what you can accomplish…..cherish your uniqueness. Create your world and fill it with all the things that make you happy.
With these inspiring words from "Success Redefined, Travel, Motherhood, and Being the Boss" by Monique Alvarez, I challenge you to rethink your New Year's resolutions and traditions too.
**What are 3-5 things you want to accomplish in the next year?
**What must you do in order to reach each one?
**What must happen for them to fall into place that you have no control over?
**What will it feel like when you accomplish these things?
**How will you celebrate when you accomplish them?
**What is one area of your life on which you'd like to focus over the next 6 months?
**How do you want to grow in this area of your life?
**What is one daily self-care practice you can start right now?
So, armed with our resolutions firmly in mind, let's begin 2017, shall we?
Thanks! And off we go into 2017! | {

The Western coalition has summarized the confrontation with the Islamists in Iraq. After the liberation of Mosul, the military effort will focus on Syria and Africa, and the humanitarian — reconstruction of the liberated areas.
The Secretary of the Supreme national security Council of Iran, Ali Shamkhani in the framework of a telephone conversation with Russian security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev discussed missile strikes USA on the airfield of the air force of Syria and the chemical attack in Idlib province, according to Tasnim.
Syrian Kurds in coordination with Moscow ceded the Western front near the town of Manbij government forces. This will allow them to separate from the Pro-Turkish groups buffer zone and to concentrate efforts on the fight against ISIS.
Well I remember how on the background of the daily reports from Aleppo, where the Syrian army step by step liberated neighborhoods of Syria's largest city from terrorists, the Western press gave "tons" of information (and if you call a spade a spade – disinformation) garbage about the "atrocities the Assad army". At the same time the so-called coalition reported the "blitz-Krieg" in Iraq's Mosul, constantly potowa readers (viewers, listeners) materials on how to "professionally" is Mosul operation, and how the coalition forces to "smash" ISIS (banned in Russia).
Almost immediately, first developed in the Soviet Union and the helicopter began to be seen as an effective means for the destruction of tanks and equipment of the enemy. The helicopter with weapons on the basis of Mi-1ST contributed to the development of several unique achievements, percussion version of the Mi-1ST is the first serial combat helicopter and the first helicopter equipped with anti-tank missile systems.
Barack Obama has lost the battle for Mosul. Now all hope for trump.
The battle for the second largest city of Iraq promises to be the biggest battle of the decade.
A military expert told why it is impossible to underestimate IG units (banned in the Russian terrorist group – approx. FAPN) in Iraq. | {

In a previous post, I showed how to determine the best starting lineup to draft using an optimizer tool. The optimizer identifies the players that maximize your projected points within your risk tolerance. The optimizer does not take into account the uncertainty of players' projections (except by excluding players above your risk tolerance). This post demonstrates how to run an optimization simulation that identifies that best possible starting lineup by taking into account players' uncertainty or risk.
One limitation of relying on a single projection estimate (a point estimate), is that it assumes that the projections are equally accurate for all players. This is a false assumption. Some players are more difficult to predict than others. Some players have a "high upside" whereas others are pretty reliable. These differences in predictability are not captured by a point estimate. They can be captured, however, by an interval estimate (e.g., a range of values or confidence interval). Nate Silver has written on the many advantages of using interval estimates rather than point estimates (see his book here).
How can we find the optimal starting lineup using interval estimates of players' projections?
The first thing we have to do is to calculate an interval estimate for each player. This is the range of likely values for each player. We can construct an interval estimate from two parameters: 1) mean and 2) standard deviation. The mean is the average of all projections for a player. In other words, the projection from FantasyPros, which averages numerous sources of projections, can be our mean. For the standard deviation, we have to calculate the variability around the projections from the various sources for each player. For how we calculate the standard deviation of players' projections, see here. Now that we have the mean and standard deviation for each player, we can construct each players' distribution of possible points by drawing random values from a normal distribution with the same mean and standard deviation using the rnorm() function.
The optimization simulation works by selecting a random value for each player within his distribution, optimizing the best team, and iterating this many, many times. We can then see how many times each player makes the best lineup. In the following example, the simulation iterates 100,000 times. This gives us a fairly reliable estimate of each player's projection distribution, and, as a result, the likelihood that the player is on the best starting lineup.
In summary, relying on a single projection value is bad because it assumes that all players have equal uncertainty/risk in their projections. We can get a better estimate of each player's likelihood that they are on the best possible starting lineup by taking into the uncertainty around their projections. To achieve this, we simulate the optimization many times by drawing random values within each player's distribution of likely point values. By doing this, we can get a better idea of who are the best players to draft.

In 2016 the Westcountry Ultra 100 Miler was finished by less than half the people who entered. This was most probably due to the challenging weather conditions as well as the toughness of the second half. The race was won by Alistair Higgins, who flew over from Dublin to take part and reportedly didn't look remotely tired at any of the aid stations, but he was run close by Dan Masters in second, who finished around half an hour later. A number of runners further down the field impressed by toughing it out, with one runner even doing an extra 20 miles due to a few navigational errors but still finishing!
Hopefully you won't have used up all your energy banking some uber-fast miles, and then you can keep on plodding down the River Parrett Trail to Steart Marshes Nature Reserve. You'll be pretty much following the river most of the way, and so here's a chance to gather your thoughts.
From Steart, where you can keep your eyes on the skies for Peregrine Falcons and various wading birds, you will be following the original route of the West Somerset Coast Path all the way to Minehead.
There is much to help those miles tick by along the way; you'll want to zoom past the Nuclear Power Station at Hinkley Point (sorry, we couldn't get them to move it!), or maybe you'll gaze at it with intrigue. Either side of there are spectacular limestone formations at Lilstock, East Quantoxhead and Kilve. Off to your left you should see the Quantock Hills, where poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge was inspired to compose most of his famous works. To your right in the Bristol Channel you may well see the islands of Steepholm and Flatholm. You will actually skirt the edge of the Quantocks around West Quantoxhead, from where you should be able to see Minehead pretty clearly if the weather isn't too shabby.
From here you head back to the coast and into quaint old Watchet, then on to Dunster beach, where if you're lucky you may be able to get an ice-cream. From here you are approaching the half way point at; this is a curious town, where the bright lights of the Arcades and Butlins give way to the enchanting forests of North Hill. You can pause here and gather yourself for the second half, which is where the hills begin.
Starting off in Minehead, where a feast awaits you upon your return, you will head to the beginning of the South West Coast Path, which is symbolised with a large metal hand holding a map. From here (unless it is an extremely foggy day) you will see the enigmatic North Hill towering above the town. You'll be heading straight to the top, where you'll traverse along to Bossington Hill, from which the views alone will be enough to take your mind off the steepness of the descent. Then you'll head down an enchanting woodland path to Bossington car park; if you're lucky there may be some wild garlic still to snack on along the way. | {

Transferring audio files from the H4n to a computer is simple, and much like using an external hard drive. To connect the H4n to a computer, make sure the recorder is off, then connect the recorder to your computer via USB. When this is done, turn on the recorder and allow it to boot up. Once the recorder has started, it will give you options for connection modes. Choose '''STORAGE''', and the H4n will show up like an external hard drive plugged into your computer. You can now drag and drop files or folders off of the zoom recorder onto your computer's hard drive. Make sure to eject the USB connection before disconnecting the H4n.

DO NOT insert foreign objects into or allow liquid to enter the unit.
DO NOT exert undue pressure on the keys or other controls.
DO NOT put the H4n speaker next to other precision instruments, such as a computer, or next to magnetic cards.
ALWAYS power down the H4n and all attached equipment before unplugging any cables. Unplug cables before moving the H4n unit to avoid jarring the jacks.
NEVER open the casing of the H4n or attempt to modify it in any way. Bring the unit to Media Loan for service immediately if it is not functioning correctly.
DO NOT use the H4n at loud volumes for extended periods of time, as it may cause hearing impairment.
REMEMBER that you are 100% financially responsible for all equipment you check out from Media Loan!
It is highly recommended that you consult the complete H4n manual for detailed information regarding recording, modes and all further H4n details. There is simply too much information to be included in a simple guide such as this. The complete H4n manual is available from Media Loan.
Supplying Power to the H4n
Since power consumption of this unit is fairly high, we recommend the use of an AC power adapter whenever possible. If using batteries is necessary, make sure to use Alkaline or Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries.
Use only the AC adapter provided by Media Loan. Use of any other adapter could damage the H4n.
During lightning or when not using the recorder for an extended period, disconnect the recorder from the AC outlet.
When powering with batteries, use two conventional size AA - 1.5 volt batteries of the same type.
When not using the recorder from an extended period, remove the batteries.
When using the recorder, the battery cover should be closed.
Before plugging in or unplugging, inserting or removing batteries, make sure the H4n is powered down, otherwise, any data on the recorder may be destroyed.
The H4n can be powered by USB, but ONLY when it is being used as a USB audio interface or to transfer files.
Media Loan provides a SD card with the H4n recorder, This should provide a large amount of recording time, even while recording in very high definition formats. If you need longer recording times than the card can provide, the H4n will accept SD and SDHC cards.
Do not remove the SD card unless absolutely necessary.
Make sure the recorder is turned off before attempting to change the SD card.
SD cards are expensive. Always remember to return your recorder with the SD card it came with from Media Loan.
If the SD card does not seem to fit or you are having difficulty removing it, please return to Media Loan for assistance.
Do not exert any excessive force on the SD card or the recorder.
Power/HOLD Switch
The power switch to the H4n is a two-way slider switch. To power on the H4, push the switch toward the power logo, then release it. The switch will return to its original position, and the H4n will begin to boot up. To power off the recorder, pull the switch towards the power logo and hold it there until the screen displays "Goodbye See You!" The power switch also functions as a key hold switch to prevent any unwanted changes during recording. To put the H4n into key hold mode, push the power switch into the hold position. The screen will show that the H4n is in key hold mode, and all buttons will not respond until key hold mode is deactivated. To switch out of key hold mode, simply pull the power switch back to the center position. The screen will display that the key guard has been released.
Main Menu and Controls
To access the main menu, press the MENU button on the right side of the recorder. Once inside the main menu, turn the dial to select the desired option and press the dial to select. To go back to the previous menu screen, press the MENU button again.
[Folder] - The H4n offers 10 folders to keep recorded files separate and organized. When in the menu, the current folder will display at the bottom of the screen.
[File] - File Management within the selected folder.
[Input] - Fine tune controls for different inputs.
[Rec] - Controls for file format/quality, and prerecording/volume activated recording.
[Mixer] - Controls volume and pan settings for recording.
[Mode] - Use to select a recording mode.
NOTE: All modes can be changed from the mode menu EXCEPT stamina mode! For complete details on using stamina mode, see the Recording Modes section of this manual.
Recording Sources
The H4n can record from several different sources, including the built in stereo microphone, an external stereo microphone, and external microphones or instruments attached with XLR or 1/4" jacks. Recording sources can be chosen with the input buttons on the face of the recorder.
Built in Stereo Mic - The H4n features a versatile built in XY stereo microphone, capable of recording in a 120° or 90° spread. Behind the built in stereo mic, there is a stereo mini jack to plug in an external stereo mic. an external mic is plugged into this jack, it will supersede the built in microphone. To record from this source, press the MIC button. When the source is active, the MIC button will glow.
Input Jacks [1] and [2] - The input jacks on the bottom of the recorder accept both XLR cables for microphones, and 1/4" cables for instruments. The input jacks are controlled by the [1] and [2] buttons on the input panel. In 2CH and 4CH modes, the two input jacks operate as a stereo pair. If you select one jack input button, both will glow to indicate that they are both active. IN MTR mode, the two jacks can be used independently.
NOTE:To record one microphone onto both sides of a stereo track, select the input jacks as the recording source, then make sure the MONO MIX setting of the INPUT sub-menu is ON. When MONO MIX is active, the H4n will record both stereo channels from one of the mono input jacks.
Recording Modes
The H4n has several different recording modes, which change the way the recorder operates, and which inputs can be used. All recording modes except for stamina mode can be chosen in the MODE sub-menu.
Stamina Mode - Stamina mode is designed for the sole purpose of conserving battery life, and should only be used if it is necessary to record for extremely long periods with no access to fresh batteries or AC power. Stamina mode will increase battery life from about 6 hours to about 11 hours. In stamina mode, the H4n operates exactly like stereo mode with several limitations:
In stamina mode, the zoom cannot record in any format other than the lowest quality WAV.
In stamina mode, the MODE sub-menu is locked out. To turn stamina mode on or off, the user must power down the recorder, and hit the stamina mode switch inside the battery door, then restart the recorder.
Stereo Mode - Stereo mode uses either the H4n's built in stereo microphone or inputs [1] and [2]. The input select buttons will illuminate to reflect which source the H4n is recording from. While recording in stereo mode, the sources can be switched at any time, including while the recorder is capturing audio. To change the recording volume, simply hit the REC LEVEL (+) or (-) button.
4CH Mode - Simultaneously uses the H4n's built in stereo mic and inputs [1] and [2]. Recording volumes are controlled by source. Before using the REC LEVEL (+) or (-) button, you must first choose which source you wish to modify the volume for by pressing the corresponding input select button.
NOTE: The REC LEVEL (+) or (-) button should not be confused with the VOLUME (+) or (-) button found on the other side of the recorder. The VOLUME button controls the levels of audio output (the speakers or headphones).
MTR Mode - MTR mode is designed to record onto 4 separate tracks. Each of the tracks can be recorded and modified independently from any of the others. Additionally, tracks 1 & 2 or 3 & 4 can be recorded together. Each track can record from any of the input sources. To begin recording in MTR mode:
Choose which track (or pair of tracks) you would like to record to.
Choose the inputs you would like to record onto that track.
To change the recording volume in MTR mode:
Press the track number and input source buttons that you would like to change the recording level for.
Use the REC LEVEL (+) or (-) button to change the recording levels. This will only change the recording levels for the selected inputs on the selected track. Setting for the same inputs on other tracks will remain unchanged.
Recording Formats
Recording Time Per 1 Gigabyte (GB)
MP3 128Kbps 17Hrs 21 Mins
320 Kbps 6 Hrs 56 Mins
WAV 16 Bit / 44.1 Khz 1 hr 34 Mins
16 Bit / 48 Khz 1 Hr 26 Mins
24 Bit / 96 Khz 28 Mins
The Zoom H4n is capable of recording in both Mp3 or WAV file formats. WAV is an uncompressed and loss-less file formal, while Mp3 is compressed and lossy. This means that WAV files are larger, but retain more detail than MP3's, which trade audio resolution for much smaller file sizes. The H4n's highest recording quality is 24 bit / 96 Khz WAV, which is higher quality than CDs, but may be unreadable by many applications due to its large file size. Zoom recorders from Media Loan are provided with a SD card. Total recording time per GB will change depending on format and quality.
Transferring audio files from the H4n to a computer is simple, and much like using an external hard drive. To connect the H4n to a computer, make sure the recorder is off, then connect the recorder to your computer via USB. When this is done, turn on the recorder and allow it to boot up. Once the recorder has started, it will give you options for connection modes. Choose 'STORAGE', and the H4n will show up like an external hard drive plugged into your computer. You can now drag and drop files or folders off of the zoom recorder onto your computer's hard drive. Make sure to eject the USB connection before disconnecting the H4n.

After a period of intermittent collaboration and schism with Mensheviks, the Bolshevik Party was formally constituted in 1912. During the February Revolution of 1917, the majority of the Bolshevik Central Committee and the editorial board of the Bolshevik journal Pravda (meaning Truth), headed by Joseph Stalin and Matvei Muranov, gave conditional support to the Provisional Government and entered unity discussions with the Mensheviks. Party membership soared and many exiles returned, but there were problems of loss of direction.
After the outbreak of the February Revolution of 1917, Lenin returned, from self imposed exile, to Russia. Lenin published the April Theses, in which he called for opposition to the Provisional Government. He advocated immediate revolution but the Party was divided as to the efficacy of a revolution at that time. In July, the Bolsheviks staged a revolution but if failed and Lenin fled to Finland. He returned to Russia in October to lead the October Revolution.
On the night of October 24th, 1917 the Bolsheviks staged a coup, engineered by Trotsky and assisted by the workers' Red Guard and the sailors of Kronstadt; they captured the government buildings and the Winter Palace in Petrograd. The Provisional Government was overthrown. A second all-Russian congress of soviets met and approved the coup after the Mensheviks and Socialist Revolutionaries walked out of the meeting. The Council of People's Commissars, was set up with Lenin as chairman and Trotsky as foreign commissar. The second congress immediately called for cessation of hostilities, gave private and church lands to village soviets, and abolished private property.
Lenin, as Chairman of the Council of Peoples Commissars, abolished all private ownership of land in Russia and began distributing it to the peasants. Banks were nationalized – and factories were given over to the control of the workers. Lenin closed the Constituent Assembly – taking complete control of Russia. He also began banning other political parties, including the Mensheviks. The Russian Civil War broke out which lasted from 1917 – 1920.
For the Jews who had very little rights or opportunities for progress in Russia, up to that time, Lenin's Bolshevism had offered an opportunity undreamt of before. The Bolsheviks recognized the ethnic and cultural differences of the peoples of Russia (including Jews which they defined as an ethnic cultural group.) The Bolsheviks prosecuted anti-Semitism –and anti–ethnic prejudice. They opened the doors to opportunities throughout the Bolshevik government and the Socialist system. Anyone of merit could rise irrespective of their ethnic background.
However, to the core, the Bolsheviks were Atheist. They banned all religions including The Russian Orthodox Church and Judaism. To progress in Russia you had to give up all religious beliefs and all non nationalistic affiliations – which included Zionism. The Hebrew (Zionist) language was banned -yet Yiddish, which was the "ethnic" language of the Jews of Russia, was permitted. Bolshevism demanded total loyalty to its Socialist, Atheist ideology. | {

NM adopts 1st state cowboy tune
Thread starter FarmGirl10
FarmGirl10
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Cowpokes now have a good reason to gather 'round the campfire and break out the guitar — New Mexico's got an official state cowboy song.
Gov. Bill Richardson signed legislation Wednesday declaring New Mexico the first state to adopt an official cowboy song: "Under the New Mexico Skies" by Syd Masters, a 42-year-old musician from Edgewood.
New Mexico songwriters picked Masters' tune in 2008 from 26 other songs, and he performed it on the state House floor this month. The true-to-tradition tune, with a rolling melody and catchy lyrics, features guitar and acoustic bass with a twangy male voice that breaks into three-part harmony for the chorus.
"The song tells about New Mexico, like the beautiful landscape, wildlife, the flowers and the beautiful mountains of New Mexico — the things that we are proudest of. And cowboys and ranchers are also the things we are proudest of," said state Rep. Gloria Vaughn, a Republican from Alamogordo who proposed the idea of an homage to cowhands. "Because we have so many ranchers and cattle people, this is important for New Mexico."
The livestock industry is the state's most important agricultural commodity, with annual sales of dairy and beef cattle totaling almost $2 billion.
Masters said the inspiration for the song came from a scenic moment on the Turquoise Trail, a historic road that links Albuquerque and Santa Fe.
"I was having a photo taken and while waiting for the clouds to move, I leaned against an adobe wall ... and there was a creek running by. It turned out to be the right thing to describe," Masters said.
He performs in a traveling musical trio called the Swing Riders, who focus on preserving the tradition of singing cowboys.
"We had a lot of guys in the old days writing a lot of songs as they went from camp to camp," Masters said.
Singing cowboys have been a dominant part of American culture, said cowboy music expert Jana Fallin, a professor and music education division chair at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan.
"It's amazing how much culture has been affected by the cowboy," she said. "They sang to keep the cattle moving along, they sang to keep the cattle calm and they sang to entertain each other. They call it the last troubadour tradition."
The state's cowboy ditty joins New Mexico's other songs, including a Spanish language state song, a state ballad and a state bilingual song. The state's official song, "O Fair New Mexico," was written by the daughter of famed sheriff Pat Garrett, who allegedly gunned down outlaw Billy the Kid.
While New Mexico's cowboy song is the country's first, several other Western states already have official songs with a cowboy twist: Kansas' "Home on the Range" and Oklahoma's "Oklahoma!"

News analysis Many physicists still reject claims the speed of light has been smashed despite a second set of experiments producing identical results.
In late September, scientists from Gran Sasso and CERN posted results of an experiment claiming to have timed particles travelling six kilometres per second faster than the speed of light.
The paper on the prepress website ArXiv.org has sparked the most important debate in physics today.
If the results are confirmed it would overturn Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity and rock the foundations of our understanding of how the cosmos works.
Professor Victor Flambaum, head of the Department of Theoretical Physics at the University of New South Wales, says the results contradict all we know about special relativity.
"It's not very easy to overrule Einstein's theory. There have been thousands of tests of special relativity, people have confirmed it, there's never been a confirmed deviation," he says.
The experiment known as OPERA shoots protons at a graphite block producing bursts of neutrinos that travel from CERN in Switzerland to San Grasso in Italy.
The first experiment found the neutrinos covered the distance 60 nanoseconds faster than the 2.3 milliseconds it would take a photon travelling at the speed of light (299,792,458 metres per second in a vacuum) to cover the same distance.
The findings were greeted with shock and scepticism by the scientific community and a multitude of papers questioning the original findings have been published in response.
One potential area of concern was properly identifying which neutrinos were being measured.
In the original experiment, pulses of neutrinos were each 10 microseconds long making measuring their exact arrival time at Gran Sasso open to errors.
OPERA repeated the experiment altering the beams making them three nanoseconds shorter, with longer 524 nanosecond gaps between them, allowing the departure and arrival times of individual particles to be identified.
The second experiment, announced late last week, confirmed the results of the first experiment.
Theoretical physicist, Professor Craig Savage from the Australian National University says repeating the experiment cleared up some questions surrounding the original paper.
"This is a really hard experiment, almost all elementary particle experiments are difficult, but neutrino ones are doubly hard because neutrinos are so hard to detect," says Savage.
"The OPERA team only detected 20 individual neutrinos over the two weeks they re-ran the experiment."
While the second test cleared up concerns over identifying the neutrinos, critics say it still fails to address several concerns including relativistic effects, time calibration and distance measurements.
It's not the first time that scientists have clocked neutrinos travelling faster than light.
"People seem to forget it's not the first result on faster than light neutrinos, it's the second," says Savage.
"Fermilab 's MINOS experiment achieved the same result in 2007. However that wasn't statistically significant. There was some reasonable probability that what they were seeing was just a statistical fluctuation."
What is needed, says Savage, is for the new results to be replicated by an independent group.
Another group working in San Grasso, known as ICARUS, measured the energy output from the same neutrinos OPERA were working with and found no changes in energy, says Professor John Webb, from the University of New South Wales.
"If the neutrinos were travelling faster than light they should lose energy by creating electron-positron pairs of sub-atomic particles," says Webb.
"They concluded no such energy was being lost and therefore suggest the OPERA team may have a calibration error."
"Still it's early days, it's all still work in progress."
Flambaum says there's clear observational data contradicting the OPERA results.
He points to Supernova 1987A which exploded in a neighbouring galaxy in 1987 called the Large Magellanic cloud.
Flambaum says the OPERA team found the speed of the neutrinos to be just fractionally over the speed of light but the supernova observations showed that neutrinos and photons generated at the same time by the supernova, 160 thousand light years away, arrived here at the same time as well.
He points out that if the OPERA observations were correct, the neutrinos should have arrived here four years before the photons and that didn't happen.
"Outstanding statements require outstanding proof," he says.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) — A judge has ordered U.S. Sen. Rand Paul's neighbor to stay away from Paul and his family while a lawsuit is pending.
The Daily News in Bowling Green reports Special Judge Tyler Gill issued a temporary injunction Monday against Rene Boucher. Boucher served 30 days on a federal charge of assaulting a congressman after Paul was tackled outside his house last fall. Paul sued Boucher in state court.
Gill also held Boucher liable for Paul's injuries in a partial motion for summary judgment.
Boucher is under federal order to have no contact with Paul. Now he must stay at least 200 feet (60 meters) away from the Pauls while Boucher is on his property and at least 50 feet (15 meters) away everywhere else.
Boucher's lawyer says his client has complied with the federal order. | {

Would you like a room with a view?
When I realized I could draw fairly accurate illustrations, everything became a subject. My first assignments in art class were to "draw what I see" from the drawings of other artists. But I quickly graduated to drawing from my own photographs, then from scenes found in newspapers and magazines and tv.
I sit in our living room and draw my own feet stretched out in front of me, or pose my hand in my lap. While attending a concert or church I reach for a pencil to sketch elements of the scene in the margin on the program (sorry, Pastor?). Indeed, every room I occupy seems to offer something to sketch, or remains in my mind as a future sketch.
Other artists tell me they have the same addiction. My addiction might be more acute due to fear of someday suddenly lose this capacity to draw, due to age-related degeneration of mind, or body. "Easy come, easy go" is not acceptable management option for this late-blooming gift. So, I call it "practice" rather than "addiction", and happily share the results with students and viewers.

The Israel Air Force's project to enlist the ultra-Orthodox began five years ago with 40 recruits. Today the project has also been taken up by the Navy, Military Intelligence, Technological and Logistics Directorate and the Communications Directorate - and the number of Haredi recruits has reached 1,650.
Only the IDF can solve the Haredi employment crisis
A quiet revolution in Israel's Haredi society
Breakthrough on Haredi draft possible in new Israeli government plan
The program is called Shahar Kahol, Shahar being an acronym for "service for Haredim," and is part of the Tevet - Fighting Poverty Through Employment initiative, run by the state and American Joint Distribution Committee.
The Haredi participants' motivation to go on for officer's training is the highest of all groups in the Israel Defense Forces - 60%, according to Air Force research.
In the last three years almost 600 participants have finished their service and left the IDF, and the data on their subsequent careers is remarkable: Some 84% remained in the professional army or found jobs with large Israeli employers, including Iscar, Teva, Bank Hapoalim and various high-tech firms. Another 5% continued on to complete their university studies. Only 9% have yet to start working and 2% returned to study in yeshiva.
Prof. Yossi Tamir, who has been Tevet's director for almost seven years and previously was director general of the National Insurance Institute, spoke to TheMarker about integrating Haredim into the workforce, and about the weakening of the relationship between work and escaping poverty.
"The main challenge for the Tevet program is to integrate Haredim into the world of work in society at large, not a [narrow] sectoral world," he said. "Until just 15 years ago, the rate of participation of Haredim in the workforce was higher than today, but a large proportion of them worked in the Haredi-religious sector, for example in teaching religious services. In one of our training programs, Haredim study to be lifeguards and instructors at therapeutic pools. How is that possible? Because today Haredim also go to therapeutic pools. They are integrating into the overall life of the country." Tamir said another of Tevet's challenges is to help Haredim enter the workforce after military service and still remain Haredim.
"In all the programs we have created, the key phrase is: 'We will help you to preserve your Haredi lifestyle,'" said Tamir. "We show them this horizon from the beginning. There are Haredim who come to our programs and say that because of their military service, they have even become closer to the Haredi world. I see that as an advantage: To lead the process we must remove their fear that they will leave the Haredi world."
He says it is impossible to use employment as a means of changing the Haredim's lifestyles, and that at any rate, this is not the program's goal.
"They are undergoing a social change, but the goal is first for them to integrate into the employment market, contribute to economic growth and turn from an economic problem to a solution," he says. "The social change will happen by itself, but that is not our goal. "Yet when they work in the various programs with another population, they learn to know them and they open up," Tamir continued. "The best example is the Shahar program, where we bring them to work with the general population."
He noted that when Haredim are enlisted as a group, they are very insistent on maintaining their customs at work. "On the other hand, when they are in the workplace as individuals, they still do not give up their customs, but they are willing to compromise on things they would not have compromised in a group," says Tamir. "A haredi man in the workplace will work with women in the same place. He won't eat non-kosher food, or won't eat in a place that is not glatt kosher, but he won't care about spending time in a place where a non-religious person is eating non-kosher. That is already a big change."
Tamir said he has gotten cooperation from a large number of Haredi leaders who agree that this is the way for the community to move forward. For example, they allow Tevet to advertise in ultra-Orthodox newspapers. The Haredi sector has become more exposed to the outside world in the last 10 years, but since the public debate over the Tal Law on drafting Haredim began, there has been a drop in the number of Haredim applying to Tevet.
"A few days ago I heard of someone who was attacked because he was joining the Nahal Haredi [IDF infantry battalions for Haredim]," said Tamir. "They set fire to the branch of the [Haredi employment program] office in Beit Shemesh, and they are putting up posters against what they see as an attempt by the Israeli government, in cooperation with others, to take the Haredi yeshiva student out of the world of Torah and put him in the outside world in an inappropriate manner. This is an extreme example [of Haredi reactions]."
But Haredim who have come out against such employment are the same ones who say they can't make ends meet and have no money to support their families, said Tamir, adding: "In the end, the protest posters are good for us. It's like advertising."
Eight months ago, 5,000 Haredim showed up for a job fair in Beit Shemesh, and hundreds have come to other Tevet events - with the support fo their rabbis, said Tamir. Things have changed in the last seven or eight years, he concluded: Once Haredi soldiers took off their uniforms on the bus before coming home; now they walk about their neighborhoods freely in uniform.

"Cruel Intentions 20th Anniversary": The 1999 update of the 1782 novel "Dangerous Liaisons" is mostly notable for the star power of its then-young cast, which includes future Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Phillippe and Buffy herself, Sarah Michelle Gellar.
"Trading Paint": Join Travolta plays a veteran race-car driver (in a movie that looks like a Nicolas Cage hand-me-down).
"Gloria Bell": Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Lelio remakes his own 2013 film into an English-language version starring Julianne Moore as the title character, a free-spirited woman in her 50s attempting to find love on her own terms.

The Aero Spacelines Super Guppy is a large, wide-bodied cargo aircraft that is used for hauling outsize cargo components. It was the successor to the Pregnant Guppy, the first of the Guppy aircraft produced by Aero Spacelines, which in turn was named for its resemblance to a pregnant guppy. Five were built in two variants, both of which were colloquially referred to as the "Super Guppy".
It is the ugliest, yet most useful plane in NASA's fleet.Though it looks more like a massive fish than an aircraft, the Guppy is used to ship immensely large parts all across the world.
The Guppy's extra-wide cargo bay allows it to transport military jet aircraft with wingspans of 7.6-meters. The following video shows NASA loading two T-38A Talon jets into the cargo bay of the Guppy.
The maximum payload for the Super Guppy is 52,500 pounds, with a maximum range at maximum payload at 564 miles. The Cruise Speed at 25,000 feet is 290 miles per hour. The maximum range with a payload of 16,000 pounds is 2,000 miles.In addition to the fuselage modifications, the Super Guppy used Pratt & Whitney T-34-P-7 turboprop engines for increased power and range, and modified wing and tail surfaces.
The Super Guppy's cargo compartment has a usable volume of 39,000 cubic feet. Although it now operates as a Public Aircraft, the Super Guppy is a FAA certified design. This design has millions of miles of service, providing fast, economical transport for outsize cargo. | {

aircraft primary and secondary structural components
The most important structural components are: PFW Aerospace GmbH has been one of the most important companies in German aviation for over 100 years. Secondary structure could be the leading edge skin of the wing which is … Older types of aircraft design utilized an open truss structure constructed of wood, steel, or aluminum tubing. With integral construction they are machined or etched out of the skin panel, The body of the airplane, which carries the crew and payload, such as passengers or cargo, is called the fuselage. If the airplane weighs less than 50,000 lbs., however, the load factor must be given by: n= 2.1 + 24,000 / (W+10,000). It results from a twisting force.

Registered office: Venture House, Cross Street, Arnold, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG5 7PJ. The shape of the cross section is governed by aerodynamic considerations and clearly must be maintained for all combinations of load. Ribs are also used in ailerons, elevators, fins and stabilizer (4), Stiffener which assists sheet materials to carry loads along their length. beams, bar, tube etc… This is the required manoeuvre load factor at all speeds up to Vc, unless the maximum achievable load factor is limited by stall. Longerons are a thin strip of metal to which the skin of the aircraft is fastened. Aerodynamics forces on the fuselage skin are relatively low; on the other hand, the fuselage supports large concentrated loads such as wing reactions, tailplane reactions, undercarriage reactions and it carries payloads of varying size and weight, which may cause large inertia forces. Free resources to assist you with your university studies! The skin of aircraft can also be made from a variety of materials, ranging from impregnated fabric to plywood, aluminum, or composites. The B-737-200 graphite/epoxy stabilizer was developed by The Boeing Company as part o Most of the aging aircraft studies have focused on metallic structures, but with the increasing use of composites in primary aircraft structures, it is crucial to address aging concerns for composite components. Structural components The primary and secondary structures of a 100-percent aviation supplier For over 100 years, the name Pfalz Flugzeugwerke has stood for quality in many different components within the aviation industry. Changing the elevator deflection changes the lift on the horizontal tail and thereby controls the angle of attack and lift of the wing. A primary flight display or PFD is a modern aircraft instrument dedicated to flight information. They also act with the skin in resisting the distributed aerodynamics pressure loads; they distribute concentrated loads into the structure and redistribute stress around discontinuities, such as undercarriage wells, inspection panels and fuel tanks, in the wing surface. The true Monocoque construction uses formers, frames assemblies, and bulk heads to give shape to the fuselage, but the skin carries the primary stresses. [Figure 2-5] The most popular types of fuselage structures used in today's aircraft are … It refers to motion in pitch; thereby it controls the angle of attack. No plagiarism, guaranteed! The company is seen as global leader in the field of tubing systems in aircraft. Airframe is stretched as a result. The main role of the vertical stabilizer is to provide directional stability about the normal axis. Complex assemblies such as pressure bulkheads and pressurised floors, which ensure that the cabin pressure is kept constant. 18th May 2017 Each destruction over 300 mm diameter and each damage of a spar is a large scale destruction. This is further classified into the true Monocoque construction and the more common semi Monocoque construction. PFW Aerospace GmbH employs around 1,800 people at its locations in Speyer (Germany), Nuneaton (Great Britain) and Izmir (Turkey). Study for free with our range of university lectures! Structural members of an aircraft's fuselage include stringers, longerons, ribs, bulkheads, and more. The major structural components refer to the primary structure of an aircraft. Reference this. • structural components of fixed wing aircraft • rotary wing. Engineering Flight Controls: Secondary Flight Controls. The collaborators intend to develop the technology necessary to produce large thermoplastic composite primary aircraft structures. The two classes of loads may be further divided into surface forces which act upon the surface of the structure and body forces which act over the volume of the structure and are produced by gravitational and inertial effects. The number of wings can also vary. Basically all air loads are the resultant of the pressure distribution over the surfaces of the skin produced by steady flight, manoeuvre or gust conditions. They need to integrate perfectly into the different cabin equipment. It looks like a tube which holds most of the aircraft together. FUSELAGE The fuselage is the main structure or body of the aircraft. Inner landing flaps, in which PFW also commends excellent paintwork competence. Primary structure would be a wing spar or fuselage keel beam.....engine pylon main structure. The main structural member in a wing is called the wing spar. Since the bracing members are present, the skin must be strong enough to keep the fuselage rigid. The maximum manoeuvre load factor is usually +2.5 . 3 illustrates the structural components of a typical turbine powered aircraft. You can view samples of our professional work here. The ribs give the wings its contour and shape and transmit the load from the skin to the spars. Elevator control cable is in additional tension when the pilot moves the control column, Compression is the resistance to crushing. Wing is a surface providing the lift to the aircraft. The stabilizing surfaces at the rear of the airplane are the horizontal and vertical tails. This also demonstrates how strongly connected the company is with the industry. Primary structure includes all the portions of the aircraft, the failure of which during flight or on the ground would cause catastrophic structural collapse and loss of control. This is assignment is based on structure of an aircraft. Do you have a 2:1 degree or higher? Registered Data Controller No: Z1821391. Primary: ailerons, elevator, rudders; Secondary: movable trim tabs located on the primary flight control surfaces; Auxiliary: wing flaps, spoilers, speed brakes and slats I am going to start my assignment with typical aircraft diagram. So, components are attached to the structure with bonding straps to ensure that components are have the same electrical potential and that a low resistance path is available for current. This assignment is particular based on commercial aircraft, emphasising various major structural components. It carries flight loads and the weight of the wing. The structural stresses to which the aircraft is subjected to its maximum: It is defined as pull, in level flight, aircraft engine and propeller pulls the aircraft forward while fuselage and tail resist that movement because of the airflow around them. C:UsersRIZWAN ULLAHPictureshttpairplanegroundschools.comAircraft-StructureFigure1-3.jpg.jpg (7). For low-stressed structure in light aircraft, alloys 3003-H12, H14, and H16; 5052-O, H32, H34, and H36; and 6061-T4 and T6 are sometimes employed. They can be attached at the top, middle, or lower portion of the fuselage depending on the required performance for the particular airplane. Principal Structural Elements. When the aircraft is taking a sharp turn most of the forces acting on the aircraft are it's at maximum, because there are forces that tend to keep the aircraft in its original path. An aircraft that is considered to be a TAA is not always a glass cockpit aircraft, but a glass cockpit aircraft is always considered a TAA. Core-to-facesheet bonding is an important application of structural adhesives, particularly for interiors and aircraft control-panel components. A great number of technologies are at home at PFW Aerospace GmbH, which are not available in a similar form from any other supplier on the market. Many forces and structural stresses act on an aircraft. (R) Cloths, Cleaning for Aircraft Primary and Secondary Structural Surfaces 1. Assembly tolerances within a range of a tenth of a millimetre are the order of the day. above: Structural view of Boeing 767 (nearly identical structurally to 757) showing primary and secondary structural elements (in purple). ADS-B serves this same role, supplementing both primary and secondary radar. There are two different types of structure: C:UsersRIZWAN ULLAHPicturesUntitled.jpg (6), Fig 4: Warren truss of welded tubular steel. The structure of an aircraft has been explained briefly in this assignment. The semi monocoque fuselage is constructed primarily of the alloys of aluminium and magnesium, although steel and titanium are found in areas of high temperatures. In a fixed-wing aircraft, the spar is the main structural member of the wing, located at right angle to the fuselage running spanwise. I am going to do an intensive research on load transfer structure using Aircraft structure from engineering book, and I am going to explain about the maximum load case which will cover N-V diagram as well, For the purpose of assessing damage and the type of repair to be carried out on the aircraft the structure is divided into three main categories. Fig. We're here to answer any questions you have about our services. It also provides stability and also control pitch and yaw movement of the aircraft, C:UsersRIZWAN ULLAHPictureshttpimages.google.co.ukimgresimgurl=httpwww.grc.nasa.govWWWK-12airplaneImagesfuselage.gif&imgrefurl=httpwww.grc.nasa.govWWWK-12airplanefuselage.html&usg=__JKzqTJ1GPBfQcNIPubnvd2PTbqk=&h=533&w=710&sz=22&hl=en&start=1&sig2=YzE.jpg (5). Looking for a flexible role? For over 100 years, the name Pfalz Flugzeugwerke has stood for quality in many different components within the aviation industry. The forward, usually fixed, part of horizontal tail is the horizontal stabilizer. All work is written to order. Company Registration No: 4964706. The entire range of services also includes structural components, such as belly fairings, pressure bulkheads, pressurised floors, support constructions, RAT frames, landing flaps, lighting covers, ram-air outlets, APU compartments and also fuel tanks. VAT Registration No: 842417633. In today's commercial aviation world, airlines have for a long time understood the importance of flying an aircraft as economically as possible. Much like multi-function displays, primary flight displays are built around a Liquid-crystal display or CRT display device.Representations of older six pack or "steam gauge" instruments are combined on one compact display, simplifying pilot workflow and streamlining cockpit layouts. Thus, the biggest problem involved in Monocoque construction is maintaining enough strength while keeping the weight within allowable limits. P3 define, primary, secondary and tertiary aircraft structure M3 explain how the provision of drains, materials selection, jointing compounds, surface protection and stringer design help reduce the risk of corrosion damage to the base of an aircraft fuselage P4 explain the provision for protecting the aircraft airframe and its systems in The flight controls are separated into 2 classes: the primary flight controls and the secondary flight controls. If you need assistance with writing your essay, our professional essay writing service is here to help! In the outer portions of the wing, where the cross section may be relatively small if the wing is tapered and the loads are light, ribs act primarily as formers for the aerofoil shape. During flight manoeuvre causes acceleration or deceleration which increases forces and stresses on wings and fuselage. Generally, these resultant cause direct loads, bending, shear and torsion in all parts of the structure. They are attached to fuselage on each side .They are usually in aerofoil shape. The basic function of an aircraft's structure are to transmit and resist the loads applied on aircraft so the structure can provide aerodynamic shape and protect the aircraft from environmental conditions encountered in flight. *You can also browse our support articles here >. At higher speeds the maneuver load factor may be restricted. Fig.2. The structure of an aircraft has been explained briefly in this assignment. It is produced in an engine crankshaft while the engine is running. share. TRUSS TYPE Most early aircraft used this technique with wood and wire trusses and this type of structure is still in use in many lightweight aircraft using welded steel tube trusses. The other structural units are directly or indirectly attached to it. construction features of the fixed-wing aircraft and identify the primary, secondary, and auxiliary flight control surfaces. The wing spars of an aircraft in flight are subject to bending stresses, C:UsersRIZWAN ULLAHPictureshttpwww.aerospaceweb.orgquestionperformanceq0146.shtml.gif (14). •Primary structure • Critical load bearing structure of an aircraft/spacecraft that in case of severe damage will fail the entire aircraft/spacecraft •Secondary structure • Structural elements of an aircraft/spacecraft that carry only air and inertial loads generated on or in the secondary structure Definition of primary/secondary structure Cloths, Cleaning, for Aircraft Primary and Secondary Structural Surfaces AMS3819 This specification covers both woven and nonwoven absorbent materials supplied in the form of cloths. We've received widespread press coverage since 2003, Your UKEssays purchase is secure and we're rated 4.4/5 on reviews.co.uk. Figure 4-5 shows these units of a naval aircraft. These alloys are also primary selections for fuel, lubricating oil, and hydraulic oil tanks, piping, and instrument tubing and brackets, especially where welding is required. The heaviest of these vertical members are located at intervals to carry concentrated loads and at points where fittings are used to attach other units, such as the wings, power plants, and stabilizers. It can lead to complete structural damage. Similarly, the vertical tail is divided into the fixed vertical stabilizer or fin and the rudder. Use of Composites for Aircraft Primary Structural Components. In those geographical areas served by secondary radar only or ADS-B, aircraft without either transponders or ADS-B equipment cannot be provided with radar service. EXTRA-FLUGZEUGBAU GmbH has to be contacted prior to repair.

C:UsersRIZWAN ULLAHPicturesUntitled.jpg (13). The wings consist of two essential parts. SCOPE: 1.1 Form: This specification covers both woven and nonwoven absorbent materials supplied as either dry cloths or as presaturated cloths for solvent cleaning process applications. In this article, the secondary flight controls are discussed. These major components are often divided into smaller elements. The airframe is also subjected to stresses during turns. Damage Class 2: Damage to primary structures and to secondary structures to the following extent: Holes and fractures extending through Ram-air outlets for letting out the climate package's air and reducing the level of noise. The internal wing structure which consist of spars, ribs, stringers and the external wing, which is the skin. - building parts and components together to an aircraft Auxiliary power unit - system to generate electric power when the engines are not running Auxiliary spar - an extra beam in the root in the wing for extra strength B Beam - a structural member loaded at an angle (often at … First, we shall consider wing sections, while performing the same function can differ widely in their structural complexity. Secondary structures such as the RAT frame support construction which holds the auxiliary power unit. Aircraft structural component. The current methods used by the airlines to repair damage to aircraft composite structure (secondary structure and primary flight controls) depend on the extent of damage, the time available to perform the repair, and the time until the next scheduled maintenance visit. The aluminium structure of the aircraft is used as a ground path for electrical devices. It controls the yawing motion of an aircraft. Copyright © 2003 - 2020 - UKEssays is a trading name of All Answers Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales. Sometimes more than one spar may be located on a wing or there might be none at all (3), In the framework of a wing, ribs are the crosspieces running from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the wing. I am going to start my assignment with typical aircraft diagram. Disclaimer: This work has been submitted by a university student. Bending is a combination of tension and compression. The goal of this four-year program, started in 2009, is to expedite a technology readiness (TRL) level of 6, culminating with two large-scale demonstrator components. Fuselages, while of different shapes to the aerodynamics surfaces, comprise members which perform similar functions to their counterparts in the wings and the tailplane. OEMs as well separate that equipment from structural airframe components as well. For example, a fwd wing spar or a fwd pressure bulkhead are primary structures.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - California remained under threat of mudslides and blizzards Thursday from the last in a weeklong series of storms that caused deadly accidents, churning seas and widespread flooding concerns.
Heavy rain was forecast Thursday in the San Francisco Bay Area and the National Weather Service said blizzards and even avalanches were a possibility in the higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada, where winds could gust to 125 mph (201 kph) on ridgetops.
"This is a life-threatening situation," the weather service warned.
The man may have been "just trying to stay dry," California Highway Patrol Officer Herman Baza said. "Unfortunately, that protection was deadly."
On Tuesday evening, heavy rain was a factor in a crash that killed a family of three, including a 1-year-old child in Camino, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The weather service issued a high surf warning for San Francisco County through Friday, with 30-foot breakers along the coast of the North Bay, Monterey Bay and Big Sur.
San Francisco saw only an inch of rain but Venado in Sonoma County got 5 inches (13 centimeters) over 24 hours. | {

The 25 Most Inspiring Olympic Moments of All Time
Written by The Greatist Team on February 25, 2014
Blood, sweat, and tears doesn't even come close. At the Olympic Games, everything's on the line — making each and every triumph that much bigger, bolder, and at times, breathtaking. As the events come to a close Sochi, we're looking back at the 25 most incredible, awe-inspiring Olympic moments of all time.
25. Hermann Maier
Photo: Shaun Botterill/ Allsport
One of the greatest skiers of his generation, Austrian Hermann "Hermann-ator" Maier suffered a devastating crash in the downhill competition at the 1998 Nagano Games. Despite the horrific wipeout, Maier was back on the slopes days later to claim gold in two events: the super-G and giant slalom. Maier later overcame a life-threatening motorcycle crash (and extensive reconstructive surgery) before making his way to bronze and silver medals at the 2006 Turin Games.
24. Joannie Rochette
In perhaps one of the most emotional moments to hit the Olympic stage, Canadian figure skater Joannie Rochette competed in front of millions in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics just four days after losing her mother to a sudden heart attack. And not only did she perform — she won the bronze, dedicating the medal to her late mother.
23. Eric Moussambani
Photo: Mike Powell/Getty Images
Eric Moussambani made a splash in the 2000 Summer Games, the first time he'd ever seen an Olympic-sized pool and only months after he'd taken up swimming. The Equitorial Guinea native gained entry into the Olympics through a wildcard for athletes from developing countries who might not have elaborate training facilities. Moussambani competed in the 100-meter freestyle qualifying race and lost miserably, but his perseverance wowed fans all over the world.
22. Lawrence Lemieux
When Canadian sailor Lawrence Lemieux began racing at the 1988 South Korea Olympics, he fully intended on playing to win. But when — amid dangerous winds — he noticed a competitor's capsized boat, he disqualified himself, abandoning the race to help save the two injured sailors. After handing the competitors off to a rescue crew, he resumed the race and still beat out 11 of the other competitors (coming in 21st out of 32). While he didn't win silver (which his original pace could have easily earned him), Lemieux was awarded an honorary medal for his heroic act.
21. Jonny Moseley
Photo: Flickr/Jonny Moseley
Twenty-three-year-old Jonny Moseley swept the slopes in the 1998 Men's Moguls, thanks to flawlessly clearing the 360-mute-grab on the bumpy terrain. But Moseley didn't just win an Olympic gold. The move that brought him to the podium was named after him too.
20. Torvill and Dean
Ice Dancing may not be considered the most exhilarating of the Winter Olympic sports, but at the 1984 Games in Sarajevo, one British pair managed to change all that. In their performance of Ravel's "Bolero," Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean's daring choreography and technical prowess earned them perfect scores from every judge, as well as the gold medal.
19. Rulon Gardner
Photo: Billy Stickland/Getty Images
The Olympics is always a time for surprises and triumphs, but when it came to American Rulon Gardner's match against Russian Alexander Karelin, the result seemed almost set in stone. The three-time defending Olympic Champion Karelin hadn't lost a Greco-Roman wrestling match in 13 years (and hadn't given up a single point in the previous six). After an overtime thriller that saw Gardner withstand Karelin's legendary strength, the crowd — and competitors — could barely believe what had just happened: One of the greatest upsets in Olympic history.
18. Shaun White
Shaun White is nothing if not daring, so it wasn't a complete shock when he elected to take another run during the 2010 Vancouver Snowboarding Halfpipe finals after securing the gold medal. What did shock was the trick he pulled off: the world's first Double McTwist 1260, which White dubbed the Tomahawk. The most difficult trick in snowboarding history, White's Tomahawk highlighted how far the sport had come since its introduction at the 2006 Turin Games, which White also won.
17. Dan Jansen
Photo: Dan-Jansen.com
Sometimes, the best victories are worth waiting for. Ten years after his Olympics debut, speed skater Dan Jansen finally won the gold he had fought so hard for. After falling short in Sarajevo, Calgary (racing the afternoon after his sister's death), and Albertville, Jansen finally struck gold in the 1,000 meter event in Lillehammer. He dedicated the win to his late sister, Jane.
16. Vasily Alexeev
Already a past World and Olympic Champion, Soviet weightlifter Vasily Alexeev didn't have much to top at the 1976 Montreal Games — except for his own world records. The hulking Alexeev bested East Germany's Gerd Bonk with ease, but with one lift left, the consummate showman wasn't one to let the crowd down. He hoisted 562 pounds overhead with his final clean and jerk, smashing his previous record and establishing himself as one of the most revered Olympians of the 20th century.
15. Korean Unification Flag
Photo: Associated Press
Following decades of unrest post-Korean war, North and South Korea found common ground for the 2000 Sydney Olympics, marching together in the Opening Ceremonies under a unified flag (and uniforms). While the two countries did compete separately, their joint marching symbolized an openness to peace and cooperation.
14. Michael Johnson
The Ancient Greeks would've appreciated this feat. In the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Michael Johnson took home two gold medals while crushing two world records along the way. First was the 400-meter race, where he whipped around the track in 43.49 seconds. With only a few days rest in between, Johnson came back to the track to take gold in the 200-meter sprint, becoming the first man to win both races in the same Olympic Games.
13. Mary Lou Retton
Photo: Steve Powell/Allsport
Olympics fans flipped out in 1984 when Mary Lou Retton became the first American — male or female — to win a gold medal in gymnastics. Just 16 at the time, Retton had only minimal experience competing internationally, but she received perfect 10s for her stunning performance on the vault.
12. Michael Phelps
Call him "The Phenomenon" or "The Fish," Michael Phelps gave new meaning to blowing the competition out of the water at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. The American swimmer took home (count 'em!) eight gold medals, breaking Mark Spitz's record of seven gold medals in one Olympics. And if our math is correct, counting his six golds from Athens and four more from London, he's at 18 golds and 22 total medals over four career trips to the Olympics.
11. Iason Abramashvili
Photo: Al Bello/Getty Images
The world watched in horror during the 2010 Vancouver games when Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili died tragically during a practice run. For the country's team of just 10 competitors, this news shook everyone to the core. While grieving the loss of their friend and teammate, the Georgian athletes in every sport (but the luge) stayed strong and competed in their respective events. In this photo, alpine skier Iason Abramashvili races after the loss of his friend.
10. Kerri Strug
The most talked-about member of the historic "Magnificent Seven," Kerri Strug's heroic performance at the 1996 Olympic Games ensured the United States' first-ever Team gold medal in Women's Gymnastics. Despite injuring her ankle on her first vault attempt, Strug stuck the landing on her second go, helping the U.S. Women beat out Russia for the first time in Olympic history.
9. Usain Bolt
Photo: Michael Steele/Getty Images
What's better than three Olympic golds? Ask Usain Bolt. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Jamaican sprinter broke the world and Olympic records in both the100-meter and 200-meter events. He also set a 4×100-meter relay record with the Jamaican team, making him the first man to win three sprinting events at a single Olympics since Carl Lewis in 1984.
8. Matthias Steiner
Sometimes the right inspiration is exactly what it takes to win gold. A year after his wife died in a car accident, German weightlifter Matthias Steiner won the superheavyweight category at the 2008 Beijing Games by clean and jerking a weight nearly 30 pounds over his previous best. Steiner's bittersweet celebration was one of the 2008 Game's most humanizing moments, reminding spectators of the personal as well as physical triumphs an athlete had overcome.
7. Black Power Salute
A defining moment of the 1968 games, American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised their gloved hands in the Black Power salute during the 200-meter medal ceremony; they also accepted their medals shoeless to show support for impoverished African-Americans. Australian sprinter and silver medalist Peter Norman wore an Olympic Project for Human Rights badge in solidarity with his fellow runners.
6. Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens wasn't "supposed" to win. He was black and he was competing in track and field in 1936 Berlin. Hitler's Germany saw Owens as a lesser athlete because of the color of his skin. Owens would go on to win four gold medals (in the 100 meters, 200 meters, long jump, and 4×100 relay). He won with conviction and with grace.
5. Nadia Comaneci
How's this for perfection? Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci won three gold medals at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, and became the first female gymnast ever to be awarded a perfect 10 in an Olympic gymnastic event.
4. Jamaican Bobsled Team
Photo: Dean Bicknell/CNS
This story's so inspirational it was made into a Disney movie! In the country's first ever appearance at the winter Olympics, Jamaica's Bobsled Team may have come out medal-less, but certainly won the hearts of Olympic viewers (and the media) at the 1988 Calgary games.
3. Derek Redmond
Photo: Jerry Lodriguss / The Philadelphia Inquirer
Derek Redmond, a British runner specializing in the 400 meters, tore his hamstring halfway through a semi-final race in the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics. A favorite for the medals podium, Redmond refused to give up and rose to finish the race despite his intense pain. But the most memorable moment came next, when the runner's father leapt over the railing from the stands and helped his son complete the race. Steps from the finish line and with the crowd cheering them on, he let go of Derek, so his son could cross the finish line by himself.
2. Abebe Bikila
Photo: Central Press/Getty Images
While most people probably couldn't do it at all, Ethiopian runner Abebe Bikila did the seemingly-impossible: He ran a marathon barefoot — and won. We're not talking 2012, when barefoot running was the cool thing to do. This was Rome. In 1960.
1. Miracle on Ice
No one expected the 1980 U.S. Men's Olympic Hockey team to win much of anything. They did believe the team, made entirely of amateur and collegiate players, would go out there and play their hearts out. That grit and commitment led the U.S. team to beat the Soviet powerhouse in a stunning 4 to 3 semi-final win. The team would go on to beat Finland and win gold.

Civil society cautions Thai Ministers about Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement
AIDS Access Foundation, FTA Watch and other civil society organizations caution Thai government against the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement
On 31 May 2016, Free Trade Agreement Watch (FTA Watch) and five civil society organizations in Thailand, had a meeting with Mrs. Apiradi Tantraporn, the Minister of Commerce about the government decision to participate in the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP). The meeting took place at the Office of the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Commerce.
FTA Watch and the civil society organizations had the following recommendations to the Thai government:
The Ministry of Commerce and relevant ministries, especially the Ministry of Public Health, should disclose information from commissioned studies, including numerical data regarding the pros and cons of the TPP's potential impacts on all the sectors. This information should be public and offer a chance for society and the academic community to verify the information presented in studies used by the government.
The government should organize an open debate about the information in the studies and the expected benefits and adverse impacts on signing the TPP, so that other groups can help identify gaps in the information necessary for sound decision making, about whether or not to join the TPP.
The government should declare how they will respond to the dramatic increase in the health budget if the government decides to join the TPP. Due to the TPP's obligations, the country has to accept market exclusivity on medicines, that will be given patent extensions of 1-10 years. In contrast with information from a government commissioned that claims Thailand's GDP will increase by 0.77% the Ministry of Public Health estimates that Thailand will have to allocate an additional budget of 2,835 – 288,266 million Baht each year to adsorb increased costs on medicines. The national health insurance system, which takes care of over 48 million citizens, will be affected. How will the government prepare for this, and take responsibility for the impact of this, and what are the intended remedies?
The government should conduct "Regulatory Impact Assessment" of the TPP as the Law Reform Commission of Thailand recommends. The government should make public whether it has conducted a study to understand precisely how the impact of the Investor-State Dispute Settlement will affect Thailand's ability to protect its own and the public interests. For example, it will not be possible to refuse a license renewal for a gold mine that has caused serious environmental and public health damage. It will also not be able to implement consumer protection policies as the government will be sued for compensation and revocation of the policies, through international arbitration mechanisms. As a member of the ICSID, international arbitration will overrule Thailand's own judicial system.
Policy makers should not make decisions based on their personal judgments and bias, as this will result in long-term impacts and obligations for successive generations. Such a decision should be based on comprehensive, accurate and balanced information. It is essential that four recommendations above are implemented, in order to present all the necessary information for the consideration of the International Economic Policy Commission's and the Cabinet's
In the meantime, amendments of laws, gazettes, and regulations to comply with the demands of the powerful countries should be resisted, including the Patent Act, Plant Varieties Act, Government Procurement Act, gazettes and regulations on the control of beef importation from the countries with BSE risk, the control of agonist compounds used in pork, warning labeling on alcoholic drinks, and a draft Act about the control of marketing of infant food and related products. All of these amendments are undermining the agriculture sector, local wisdom, and consumer and public health protection.
FTA Watch and the civil society organizations that monitor free trade agreement negotiations would like to urge economic policy makers and relevant ministers to make decisions on the participation in the TPP based on the balance of pros and cons, rather than only focusing on the potential economic impact of the TPP.
Civil society organizations' representatives in the meeting with the Commerce Minister were:
1. Mr Anan Mauengmonchai, Chairperson, the Thai Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS
2. Mr Chalermsak Kittitrakul and Ms. Sangsiri Teemanka, AIDS Access Foundation
3. Mr Vitoon Lianjamroon, Director, Biothai
4. Dr Hatai Chitanon and Mr. Vasin Pipatanachat, Thai Health Promotion Institute
5. Mr Kamron Choodacha, Stopdrink Network
6. Ms Kannikar Kijtiwatchakul, FTA Watch

Highest Rated: 94% The Wrecking Crew (2015)
Lowest Rated: 15% The Oscar (1966)
Birthday: Jun 8, 1940
The subject of Frank Sinatra's mid '40s hit "Nancy With the Laughing Face," New Jersey-born entertainer Nancy Sinatra was the oldest of Frankie's three children. When she inaugurated her own career in 1960, casual observers assumed it was solely on the basis of her father's talent. In truth, Nancy had taken 11 years of piano, 8 years of dance, 5 years' dramatic training, and several seasons of voice lessons under the tutelage of Carlo Menotti. Nancy's first professional appearance was on the legendary Frank Sinatra/Elvis Presley TV special of May 12, 1960. Within the next twelve months, she had signed with Reprise records and married teen singing idol Tommy Sands. Neither her early recording career nor her marriage was much of a success; she was divorced from Sands by 1963, and though her discs sold well in England and Europe, she never made the charts in the US. Nancy's advisors suggested that she alter her image, thus she adopted a tough, pouty "biker chick" personna. With the help of composer Lee Hazlewood, the "new" Nancy Sinatra scored with her number one 1966 single "These Boots are Made for Walkin'" (she later revealed that she'd been told to sing the tune like a 16-year-old girl who'd just given the brush to a 40-year-old man). Around the same time, Sinatra began appearing with regularity in such films as The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini (1966) Last of the Secret Agents? (1967) The Wild Angels (1967), and as a guest star on such TV weeklies as The Smothers Brothers Show, The Ed Sullivan Show and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Seldom did she wear anything floor-length: Her standard wardrobe at the time consisted of miniskirt, go-go boots and optional bare-midriff blouse. In 1970, Nancy remarried, to dancer/choreographer Hugh Lambert; she briefly left show business to devote her time to her husband and two daughters. Lambert died of cancer in 1985, after which Nancy wrote a dual biography of herself and her father and made occasional comeback bids; she cameoed as herself on an episode of the Vietnam-era dramatic TV series China Beach. In 1995, 54-year-old Nancy Sinatra conducted a full-scale campaign to recapture the limelight with a well-received concert tour (her curious decision to sing in a quasi-operatic contralto sometimes confused the SRO crowds), and even a nude layout in Playboy magazine.

Hello there my lovely new friends! My name is Savannah and I'm so excited you've stopped by to visit my little corner of the textile world. I've always felt drawn to art and design but after a chance visit to a yarn shop in Christchurch, New Zealand, my heart was pulled into the world of fiber and textile art.
After graduating with a BFA in Textile Design from the University of Kansas, I landed my first job in the textile industry as the Production Assistant at a high end fashion boutique in Kansas City, where they create beautiful pieces of clothing out of vintage kimono. After moving to Seattle in 2008, I worked at a fabric and furnishings showroom for a number of years, assisting interior designers select from some of the most amazing fabrics I had ever seen. Fast forward to today, I'm ready to write my own story and leave my imprint on this design world I've been weaving my way through for so many years.
When I'm not working in the studio, you can find me with a good cup of coffee, baking cookies, and enjoying family time with my architect husband, Erik, and our sweet daughter, Emory.

\section{Introduction}\label{intro}
The Hall coefficient, $R_{\rm H}$, in the high-$T_{\rm c}$ superconducting (SC) cuprates has attracted considerable attention due to its peculiar behavior since the early stage of the high-$T_{\rm c}$ research.
The $R_{\rm H}$ in the normal state is strongly dependent on temperature, which is unusual in conventional metallic superconductors.
The temperature dependence of $R_{\rm H}$ at high temperatures has been explained based upon the Fermi-liquid model~\cite{kontani} or the two-carrier model~\cite{ono} taking into account spin fluctuations or charge fluctuations, respectively, but the behavior at low temperatures has not yet been understood.
The experimental results of $R_{\rm H}$ at low temperatures in the La-214 cuprates such as La$_{2-x}$Ba$_x$CuO$_4$ (LBCO)~\cite{sera,ada-prb,ada-jpcs} and La$_{1.6-x}$Nd$_{0.4}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ (LNSCO)~\cite{noda} around $x=1/8$ have revealed that $R_{\rm H}$ markedly decreases with decreasing temperature below the structural-phase-transition temperature between the tetragonal low-temperature (TLT) phase (space group: $P4_2/ncm$) and the orthorhombic mid-temperature (OMT) phase ({\it Bmab}), $T_{\rm d2}$.
This has been explained as being due to the disappearance of the Hall voltage in the one-dimensional (1D) charge stripe-ordered state~\cite{tranquada} stabilized through the structural phase transition~\cite{noda} or due to the cancellation of the Hall voltage by equal numbers of holes and electrons in the charge domain in the stripe-ordered state,~\cite{prelovsek} although it is still controversial.
A gradual decrease in $R_{\rm H}$ in the normal state with decreasing temperature at low temperatures has been observed in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO) with $\delta = 0.15 - 0.40$ (Ref. \cite{segawa}) and slightly Zn-substituted La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$Cu$_{1-y}$Zn$_y$O$_4$ with $x=0.115$ and 0.15,~\cite{ada-jltp} which has been discussed in relation to the formation of the charge stripe order.
Recently, measurements of $R_{\rm H}$ in high magnetic fields for underdoped YBCO with the hole concentration per Cu in the CuO$_2$ plane, $p$, $=0.10-0.14$ by LeBoeuf {\it et al}.~\cite{leboeuf} have revealed a sign change of $R_{\rm H}$ at low temperatures.
They have proposed that the negative $R_{\rm H}$ originates from the formation of an electron pocket through the reconstruction of the Fermi surface caused by the possible formation of the charge stripe order.
In YBCO, however, effects of the possible charge stripe order on various physical properties are relatively weak compared with those in the La-214 cuprates, preventing one from understanding explicitly the relation between the electron pocket and the charge stripe order.
In this Letter, $R_{\rm H}$ in the charge stripe-ordered state is investigated in La-214 cuprates with various values of $p$.
It has been found for the first time, to our knowledge, in LBCO with $x=0.08-0.12$ and LNSCO with $x=0.12$ that the behavior of $R_{\rm H}$ including the sign at low temperatures exhibits a significant dependence on $p$.
That is, $R_{\rm H}$ for $x=0.10-0.12$ undergoing the phase transition to the TLT phase markedly decreases with decreasing temperature below $T_{\rm d2}$.
Moreover, a sign change of $R_{\rm H}$ is observed at low temperatures for $x=0.10$ and the absolute value of the negative $R_{\rm H}$ decreases with increasing $x$, followed by almost zero for $x=0.12$ where the charge stripe order is completely stabilized.
These results indicate that $R_{\rm H}$ is zero in the ground state of the charge-spin stripe order at $x \sim 1/8$ and that $R_{\rm H}$ becomes negative in the less-stabilized state of the charge stripe.
It appears that there exists a close correlation between the stability of the charge stripe order, the sign of $R_{\rm H}$ and the topology of the Fermi surface discussed later.
Single crystals of LBCO with $x=0.08$, 0.10, 0.11, 0.12 and LNSCO with $x=0.12$ were grown by the traveling-solvent floating-zone method.
The detailed procedures are described elsewhere.~\cite{ada-prb,ada-prbmag}
The composition of each crystal was analyzed by the inductively-coupled-plasma analysis.
For LBCO and LNSCO with $x=0.10-0.12$, the charge stripe order is formed at low temperatures below $T_{\rm d2}$,~\cite{tranquada,fujita,fujita-physc} while it is not for LBCO with $x=0.08$.~\cite{fujita-physc}
Both $R_{\rm H}$ and the ab-plane electrical resistivity, $\rho_{\rm ab}$, were measured by the standard ac six-probe method in magnetic fields parallel to the c-axis up to 9 T, using a commercial apparatus (Quantum Design, PPMS).
Both temperature and magnetic-field dependences of the Hall voltage were measured, resulting in good agreement of values of $R_{\rm H}$ each other.

Figure 1 shows the temperature dependence of $\rho_{\rm ab}$ in zero field and a magnetic field of 9 T parallel to the c-axis normalized by its value at 80 K for LBCO and LNSCO with $x=0.08-0.12$.
A jump in $\rho_{\rm ab}$ due to the structural phase transition to the TLT phase is observed for $x=0.10-0.12$, as shown by arrows.
For LBCO, $T_{\rm d2}$ systematically increases with an increase in $x$, the values of which are almost in agreement with those formerly reported.~\cite{suzuki}
In zero field, $\rho_{\rm ab}$ exhibits a metallic behavior below $T_{\rm d2}$ for $x=0.10$ and 0.11, whereas it is less metallic or semiconducting for $x=0.12$.
The behavior of $\rho_{\rm ab}$ for $x=0.12$ is typical of the sample with $p \sim 1/8$ where the charge stripe order is stabilized.
For $x=0.12$ in LBCO, $\rho_{\rm ab}$ gradually decreases with decreasing temperature roughly below 30 K and goes to zero, which may be due to tiny inclusion of regions of $x<0.12$ having higher SC transition temperatures, $T_{\rm c}$'s, in the sample.
It is also probable that the different behavior of $\rho_{\rm ab}$ between the sample 'A' and 'B' of $x=0.12$ is due to the different amount of tiny inclusion of $x<0.12$.
From the magnetic susceptibility measurements, in fact, $T_{\rm c}$, defined as the cross point between the extrapolated line of the steepest part of the shielding diamagnetism and zero susceptibility, is estimated to be as low as 4.2 K, indicating that most regions in the sample are made of $x=0.12$.
It is noted that the present behavior of $\rho_{\rm ab}$ for $x=0.12$ in LBCO is different from that reported by Li {\it et al.},~\cite{li} because their reported $\rho_{\rm ab}$ in zero field is metallic even below $T_{\rm d2}$, suddenly drops around 40 K and decreases gradually toward zero with decreasing temperature.

The arrow indicates the structural-phase-transition temperature between the TLT and OMT phases, $T_{\rm d2}$.}
\label{p-d}
\end{figure}
Temperature dependences of $R_{\rm H}$ and $\rho_{\rm ab}$ in various magnetic fields up to 9 T are displayed in Fig. 2 for LBCO with $x=0.10$.
It is noted that similar temperature dependences of $R_{\rm H}$ and $\rho_{\rm ab}$ are observed for LBCO with $x=0.11$ (Ref. \cite{ada-jpcs}).
With increasing field, the SC transition curve in $\rho_{\rm ab}$ vs. $T$ exhibits broadening characteristic of the underdoped high-$T_{\rm c}$ cuprates.~\cite{ada-prbmag}
The $R_{\rm H}$ is almost independent of temperature above $T_{\rm d2}$, whereas it suddenly decreases below $T_{\rm d2}$.
Moreover, a sign change of $R_{\rm H}$ is observed below about 26 K and eventually $R_{\rm H}$ goes to zero at low temperatures.
Since temperatures at which $R_{\rm H}$ and $\rho_{\rm ab}$ become zero are in good agreement with each other, the behavior of $R_{\rm H}$ going to zero at low temperatures is due to the SC transition.
Accordingly, it is concluded that the sign of $R_{\rm H}$ in the ground state of LBCO with $x=0.10$ is negative.

\label{p-d}
\end{figure}
Figure 3 shows the $p$-dependent behavior of $R_{\rm H}$ in 9 T parallel to the c-axis.
For LBCO with $x=0.11$, data of $R_{\rm H}$ obtained from the measurements of the magnetic-field dependence of the Hall voltage at 70 K (above $T_{\rm d2}$), 45 K (a little below $T_{\rm d2}$) and 30 K (at a temperature with negative $R_{\rm H}$) are also plotted, exhibiting a good agreement with data of $R_{\rm H}$ obtained from the measurements of the temperature dependence of the Hall voltage in 9 T.
At high temperatures around 80 K, $R_{\rm H}$ is found to be positive and decrease with increasing $x$, as in the case of La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ (LSCO) single crystals.~\cite{ono}
For $x=0.08$, $R_{\rm H}$ above the onset temperature of the SC transition, $T_{\rm c}^{\rm onset}$, estimated from $\rho_{\rm ab}$ in 9 T shown in Fig. 1, is almost independent of temperature, whereas it gradually decreases with decreasing temperature below $T_{\rm c}^{\rm onset}$ due to the SC transition.
For $x=0.11$ and 0.12, on the other hand, $R_{\rm H}$ markedly decreases below $T_{\rm d2}$ as well as for $x=0.10$ shown in Fig. 2.
Since $T_{\rm c}^{\rm onset}$ is far below $T_{\rm d2}$, the marked decrease in $R_{\rm H}$ is irrespective of the SC transition.
Comparing the data of $x=0.10$ with those of $x=0.11$, the extrapolation of the data above $T_{\rm c}^{\rm onset}$ to zero temperature suggests that the sign change of $R_{\rm H}$ is more marked for $x=0.10$ than for 0.11, as shown by broken lines in Fig. 3.
For LBCO and LNSCO with $x=0.12$, on the other hand, $R_{\rm H}$ becomes almost zero at low temperatures.
These results are summarized as follows.
For the samples in the TLT phase and therefore in the charge stripe-ordered state, $R_{\rm H}$ markedly decreases with decreasing temperature below $T_{\rm d2}$.
Moreover, the sign change of $R_{\rm H}$ at low temperatures exhibits a significant dependence on $p$.
First, the marked decrease in $R_{\rm H}$ below $T_{\rm d2}$ is discussed.
The sudden decrease in $R_{\rm H}$ accompanied by the formation of the charge stripe order has formerly been observed in LBCO~\cite{sera,ada-prb,ada-jpcs} and LNSCO.~\cite{noda}
These former results of $R_{\rm H}$ are compatible with the present ones.
A possible origin of the decrease in $R_{\rm H}$ together with the formation of the charge stripe order has been proposed by Noda {\it et al}.~\cite{noda} to be the disappearance of the Hall voltage due to the formation of a 1D charge domain in the stripe-ordered state.
From direct numerical calculations including a stripe potential within the $t$-$J$ model, on the other hand, Prelov\v{s}ek {\it et al.}~\cite{prelovsek} have suggested that equal numbers of holes and electrons due to the half occupancy of holes in the charge domain leads to the disappearance of the Hall voltage.
For $x=0.10$ and 0.11 where the half occupancy in the 1D charge domain is guessed to be maintained,~\cite{fujita-physc} however, $R_{\rm H}$ exhibits negative finite values at low temperatures, as shown in Fig. 3.
Therefore, these two ways of thinking are not enough to explain the low-temperature behavior of $R_{\rm H}$ in the stripe-ordered state.
The sign change of $R_{\rm H}$ is often observed in the SC fluctuation regime, which is understood to be due to the vortex motion.
In this case, it has been suggested that the application of magnetic field tends to suppress the sign change.~\cite{matsuda}
As shown in Fig. 2, however, the sign change is not suppressed but enhanced by the application of magnetic field, and moreover, $R_{\rm H}$ is negative even in the normal state above $T_{\rm c}^{\rm onset}$ for $x=0.10$ and 0.11.
Therefore, the vortex motion is not the origin of the sign change of $R_{\rm H}$ in LBCO with $x=0.10$ and 0.11.
Simply thinking, the sign of $R_{\rm H}$ is sensitive to the subtle curvature of the Fermi surface.
As mentioned before, recently, LeBoeuf {\it et al.}~\cite{leboeuf} have found a pronounced sign change of $R_{\rm H}$ at low temperatures in strong magnetic fields in underdoped YBCO with $p=0.10-0.14$.
Since quantum oscillations have been observed in YBCO with $p=0.10$,~\cite{leyraud} they have suggested that the negative $R_{\rm H}$ is a product of the formation of an electron pocket through the Fermi-surface reconstruction caused by the possible formation of the charge stripe order.
A similar behavior of $R_{\rm H}$ has formerly been found in 2H-TaSe$_2$ where both a strong decrease and a sign change of $R_{\rm H}$ are observed accompanied by the transition to the charge-density-wave (CDW) state.~\cite{lee}
These have theoretically been explained in terms of the Fermi-surface reconstruction due to the opening of the CDW gap.~\cite{evtushinsky}
Accordingly, the sign change of $R_{\rm H}$ at low temperatures in LBCO with $x=0.10$ and 0.11 is possibly explained as being due to the creation of an electron pocket on the Fermi surface caused by the formation of the charge stripe order.
Then, why does the behavior of $R_{\rm H}$ at low temperatures depend on $p$ significantly?
Supposed that the Fermi surface in the underdoped cuprates is reconstructed through the formation of a commensurate antiferromagnetic (AF) order or a $d$-density-wave ($d$DW) order,~\cite{chakravarty} both hole pockets and an electron pocket are created on the Fermi surface, located around ($\pm \pi/2$, $\pm \pi/2$) and ($\pm \pi$, 0), (0, $\pm \pi$) in the reciprocal lattice space, respectively, which is schematically shown in the inset of Fig. 3.
Actually, recent angle-resolved photoemission experiments have revealed a pocket around ($\pi/2$, $\pi/2$).~\cite{chang,chinese}
Considering the $p$-dependent change of the Fermi-surface topology,~\cite{ino} the possible electron pocket around ($\pm \pi$, 0), (0, $\pm \pi$) tends to shrink with increasing $p$, as shown in the inset of Fig. 3.
This is naturally suggestive of the weakening of the electron aspect and the development of the hole aspect on $R_{\rm H}$ with increasing $p$.
This picture is consistent with the present results that the sign change of $R_{\rm H}$ gradually weakens and $R_{\rm H}$ at low temperatures becomes zero with increasing $x$ from $x=0.10$ to 0.12.
It is noted that $R_{\rm H}$ is positive at low temperatures for LNSCO with $x=0.15$,~\cite{noda} which is also consistent with this picture.
Accordingly, the $p$-dependent change of $R_{\rm H}$ in the ground state is able to be understood by the delicate balance of the contributions of hole and electron pockets.
Millis {\it et al.}~\cite{millis} and Lin {\it et al.}~\cite{lin} have theoretically investigated the Fermi-surface reconstruction within the tight-binding model including the charge and spin stripe potential.
According to their calculations, rather complicated arrangement of electron pockets and hole pockets is reconstructed and the development of the spin stripe correlation makes $R_{\rm H}$ negative, while the development of the charge stripe correlation makes $R_{\rm H}$ positive.
That is, in the charge-spin stripe-ordered state, the sign of $R_{\rm H}$ depends on the delicate balance of the developments of the charge and spin stripe order.
Based upon their calculations, it follows that $R_{\rm H}$ becomes zero due to complete developments of both charge and spin stripe order at $x=1/8$ and that $R_{\rm H}$ becomes negative due to the incomplete development of the charge stripe order for $x<1/8$.~\cite{fujita-physc}
Actually, the sign change of $R_{\rm H}$ has been observed in YBCO with $p=0.10-0.14$ (Ref.~\cite{leboeuf}) and LSCO with $x=0.12$ (Ref.~\cite{suzuki-lysco}) where the spin stripe correlation is developed but the charge stripe order is not.
Accordingly, it may be the case that $R_{\rm H}$ becomes zero due to the stabilization of the charge-spin stripe order at $x=1/8$, while it becomes negative due to the instability of the charge stripe order for $x<1/8$.
Finally, we comment on the value of $R_{\rm H}$ in the ground state of LBCO.
For $x=0.10$, the extrapolated value of $R_{\rm H}$ to zero temperature is estimated from Fig. 3 to be $-0.00375$ cm$^3$/C.
Thus, based on the simple one-carrier model, the carrier density $n_{\rm Hall}$ is calculated to be $n_{\rm Hall} = - V_{\rm cell} / eR_{\rm H} / 2 = 0.0795$ per Cu in the CuO$_2$ plane, where $V_{\rm cell}$ is the volume of the unit cell in the notation of the tetragonal at high temperature ($I4/mmm$).
For YBCO with $p=0.10$,~\cite{leboeuf} on the other hand, it has been reported that $n_{\rm Hall} = 0.0145$ per Cu in the CuO$_2$ plane.
This value is comparable to the deduced value of 0.019 per Cu in the CuO$_2$ plane from the quantum-oscillation experiments.~\cite{leyraud}
Assuming the negative value of $R_{\rm H}$ is originated from a possible pocket on the Fermi surface, a simple comparison of $n_{\rm Hall}$ between LBCO and YBCO results in a larger pocket in LBCO than in YBCO.
This appears to be inconsistent with that expected from the experimentally observed Fermi-surface topology,~\cite{ino,nakayama} because the reconstructed Fermi surface due to the commensurate AF order or the $d$DW order is expected to produce a larger electron pocket around $(\pm \pi,0)$, $(0,\pm \pi)$ in YBCO than in LBCO.
Accordingly, it is hard to make quantitative discussion on the negative value of $R_{\rm H}$ in the ground state using the simple one-carrier model.
In conclusion, $R_{\rm H}$ in the stripe-ordered LBCO and LNSCO in the TLT phase markedly decreases due to the formation of the charge-spin stripe order.
In the ground state, on the other hand, $R_{\rm H}$ is zero in the completely ordered charge-spin stripe state at $x=1/8$, while it is negative in the less-stabilized state of the charge stripe for $x<1/8$.
The $p$-dependent behavior of $R_{\rm H}$ including its sign is interpreted as being due to the delicate balance of the contributions of the hole-like Fermi surface and the possible electron pocket arising from the formation of the charge-spin stripe order.

Building an Online Shopping Center - What E-commerce Platform Is The Best For Me?
There are bunch of nice-looking off-the-shelf open source solutions for those planning to put up their own online shopping website for their customers. There's X-Cart, ZenCart, OsCommerce, PrestaShop, Magento and many more. But, have you ever seen a medium to large internet retailer or enterprise use those in spite of the promise perhaps of a better look-and-feel and user experience?
The answer, NO, and if you do see one, it would most probably have been heavily modified. These large enterprises usually settle for expensive yet rock-solid proprietary software (although ironically, many are probably built from open source technologies) or have built / maintain their own e-commerce platform.
But why? The reason for that is simple. In terms of IT architecture, the ones which I mentioned above are more or less designed for individuals and SMEs, nothing more. Therefore, when used on a grand scale, a wide variety of issues show up because they weren't intended for such in the first place. They are especially problematic on components such as search, navigation, catalog management, scalability, performance and integrations. But, if you think your product catalog won't go beyond 10,000 and not expecting any radical or consistent growth in records anytime soon, then you should be more than okay with any of the above. If you go beyond that, say in the magnitude of 100s of thousands with expected steady growth and belong to "large" class, it would be more than probable that you'll encounter issues mentioned above with a degree of surprise that's fatal for the unwary (i.e OMG, my database crashed. WTF, it took 5 minutes to render the page. Where's my site??? - 500 Internal Server Error).
To give you a high-level idea, here are the fundamental e-commerce subsystems that are mammoth in their own right given that you have a catalog exceeding 100,000 and enough traffic to make your site busy.
You will notice that the features and control panel of any of the off-the-shelf platform solutions above are mostly comprised of a bit of everything from the components above, rolled into one. It will be most likely that the first issue that you would encounter with any of those products is product discovery. And if you are serious with conversion, which relates to number 1-3 above, you would find this frustrating. So, if you fall to the criteria of a "large" enterprise, don't attempt to customize off-the-shelf solutions without expert guidance as it would only be potentially more costly and would cause irreparable issues to your business unless you are willing to handle such undertaking. Just seek out enterprise-class e-commerce solutions, with good support, whether open source technologies or not, or better yet, seek expert advice from e-commerce professionals. They'd have all the answers you need. I'm sure you can easily reach one easily right now if you look closely ;). | {

I am using ajaxFileUpload and here is my code to upload the same:
afterSubmit: function (response) {
if(response.responseJSON){
$.ajaxFileUpload({
url: fileuploadUrl,
secureuri:false,
fileElementId:'image',
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data, status) {
alert("Upload Complete.");
}
});
}
return [true];
}
},
This fileElementId is referring to image. Where image is picked only once. Tried assigning image to images[] as we do it from plain HTML. But still no luck as ajaxFileUpload.js throwing error as id not found with images[].
A: You could try rolling your own, something like (not tested):
afterSubmit: function (response) {
if(response.responseJSON){
var form_data = new FormData();
var count = document.getElementById('image').files.length; // assuming your file input names is image
for (var x = 0; x < count; x++) {
form_data.append("files[]", document.getElementById('image').files[x]);
}
$.ajax({
url: 'upload_files.php', // your php upload script
dataType: 'text', // what to expect back from the php upload script
cache: false,
contentType: false,
processData: false,
data: form_data, // data created above
type: 'post',
success: function (response) {
alert("Upload Complete.");
},
error: function (response) {
// handle any errors
}
});
}
return [true];
}
...
Then you could access the files in your php upload script with $_FILES['files']
Otherwise you could use a plugin like jQuery File Upload
A: afterSubmit: function (response) {
if(response.responseJSON){
// Simple change here
$('#image').attr('name', 'images[]');
$.ajax({
url: 'upload_files.php', // your php upload script
dataType: 'text', // what to expect back from the php upload script
cache: false,
contentType: false,
processData: false,
data: {
rowId: rowId,
_token: $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
},
fileElementId:'image',
type: 'post',
success: function (response) {
alert("Upload Complete.");
},
error: function (response) {
// handle any errors
}
});
}
return [true];
}
As jqgrid dynamically creates id and name, for multiple file uploads, we need array of name. Hence dynamically changed to array of name which internally handles everything in the backend.

Everyone who uses Visual Studio on a regular basis has their own favorite setup for its numerous windows. For me, I like the Server Explorer and Source Control Explorer collapsed on the left and the Solution Explorer, Team Explorer, and Properties pane collapsed on the right.
The Team Explorer pane contains several frequently-used features related to Source Control, TFS, and . That's why I keep in collapsed on the right side of Visual Studio–for quick access. However, I do find that I'm having to use the navigation within Team Explorer a lot to get back-and-forth between its different features. Clicking on Builds to check on the status of a build, then the back button and Pending Changes to check-in a change.
All that navigation can get cumbersome, and for that reason I'm very pleased that Visual Studio allows me to "undock" Team Explorer's individual features into separate window pane. To undock a feature from Team Explorer yourself, simply navigate to the feature and look for the arrow pointing to the top right in the corner near the top of the Team Explorer pane. Click the arrow, then following the normal steps to dock the window wherever you'd prefer to have it in your Visual Studio environment.
This feature is available now in Visual Studio 2013, but it works exactly the same in Visual Studio 2015 as well.
How much notice do you have to give? http://www.helicondesigns.co.uk/over-the-counter-alternative-to-lansoprazole-uk.pdf emotion lansoprazole online pharmacy uk grimly dene During the prosecution's case, Bulger's lawyers have spent a great deal of time trying to knock down the informant claim by suggesting that Bulger's FBI handler, retired Special Agent John Connolly Jr., attributed information from other informants to Bulger in an attempt to advance his own career. At the time, bringing down the Mafia was a national priority for the Justice Department, and Connolly's recruitment of top-echelon informants against the group won him numerous accolades. Connolly is now in prison.
You can also use the close cross at the far right of a panel's caption bar to close it, however if the panel is part of a group, doing this will close all panels in the group. | {

The leaves are turning, the temperature's falling, and change is in the air. Check out these fun fall pregnancy ideas, and make the most of the season.
Go back to school (sort of)! Kids aren't the only ones who kick-start their learning each autumn -- if you're expecting, you should educate yourself too. Sign up for a childbirth or parenting course, or get a jump on breastfeeding by attending a seminar or meeting with a lactation consultant. They just might be the most useful classes you ever take.
Schedule an outdoor maternity photo shoot. Gorgeous fall foliage makes an amazing backdrop for maternity photos, so if your bump is showing, hire a pro -- or grab a friend and a camera and get outside.
Indulge in the flavors of the season. Now is the time when farmers' markets are bursting with pumpkins, root veggies, apple cider, and apple-cider donuts. (Yum!) Go ahead and satisfy your pregnancy cravings (a warm bowl of butternut-squash soup? Yes, please!) Just make sure that cider is pasteurized.
Dress up your bump for Halloween. Even if you think Halloween is only for kids, pregnancy is an undeniably fun time to get into the spirit and dress up in a bump-tastic costume. Need inspiration? Pinterest is full of fun ideas, from Thing 1 and Thing 2 to Miley Cyrus's wrecking ball!
Get a flu shot. Okay, this one isn't exactly "fun," but you know what else isn't fun? Getting the flu. And staying healthy means you'll be in a better position to enjoy all of the other fun things about being pregnant in the fall (see apple-cider donuts, above). According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' updated guidelines, getting a flu shot is important for pregnant women, and it can offer protection to their babies. So talk to your health-care provider about getting the vaccine.
Dress in cozy layers. If you're super pregnant, cuddling up in a warm, bulky sweater is probably the last thing you want to do. (You're brewing a baby, and you're always hot!) So make that cozy sweater a cardi, and layer it over a cute T-shirt, comfy leggings, and flat boots. | {

With great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of our mother Laura Reimer, beloved wife of the late Henry Reimer, formerly of Sidney, MB on Monday, April 15th at the Portage and District General Hospital.
Mom was born to John and Katherine (Tina) Driedger on July 13, 1943 in Neuhorst, MB. In 1948 the family moved to Rosefarm where she was raised and received her education. Her mother, Tina, passed away when she was 12.
Mom married the love of her life, Henry Reimer on July 30, 1961 and they were blessed with 4 sons, Donald, Kelvin, Dennis and Randy. Mom and dad began their married lives together working and travelling with the gravel gang and then worked and farmed around the Austin area for several years before settling in 1972 in the Arizona District, south of Austin, where they raised their boys. The family owned and operated the Sidney store from 1984 – 1990 when mom and dad moved to Langenburg, SK to operate the Langenburg Inn for a couple of years before they retired.
Mom enjoyed reading, doing jigsaw puzzles, sewing blankets and spending time with her grandchildren. She took great pride in making handmade quilts for her boys and grandchildren and also helped the MCC sew blankets to send to third world countries. She loved family camping in the summer and her sister sleepovers.
Left to cherish her memory are her children and their families: son Don and Alison (Jessica, Jennifer, Rebecca and Melissa) from Austin; son Kelvin from Winkler; daughter-in-law Mona (Natasha and Zachary) from Gravelbourg, SK; son Randy and Terri (Spencer and Chandler) from Portage; 7 brothers, 4 sisters, 2 brothers-in-law, 6 sisters-in-law and their families.
Mom was predeceased by her husband Henry (1995); son Dennis (2008); mother Tina (1955); parents John (2004) and Elizabeth (1999) Driedger.
The family wishes to express their deepest thanks to the Doctors and nurses at the Portage and District General Hospital and the MacGregor Personal Care Home.
Funeral service will be held on Tuesday, April 23, 2019 at 2:00 pm at Sommerfeld Mennonite Church, MacGregor, MB, led by Pastors Martin Unrau and Larry Kehler. Viewing will be held prior to service, with reception to follow and burial taking place at Austin Sommerfeld Cemetery.
As expressions of sympathy, if friends so wish, donations may be made in Laura's memory to Central Plains Cancer Services, 318 Saskatchewan Ave. E., Portage la Prairie, MB R1N 0K8.
There's still time to send flowers to the Viewing prior to service at the MacGregor Sommerfeld Church at 1:00 PM on April 23, 2019. | {

Social warfare erupts when three high school clique queens battle for supremacy and an unassuming teen (Michael J. Willet) unwittingly becomes the hottest new accessory -- The Gay Best Friend -- in the quirky indie comedy G.B.F. Watch our exclusive clip in which Rebecca Gayheart and Jonathan Silverman display their cluelessness as parents -- and offer up a gluten-free treat!
In theaters Friday, G.B.F. finds those teen queens -- drama diva Caprice (Xosha Roquemore), Mormon princess 'Shley (Andrea Bowen) and blonde fashionista Fawcett (Sasha Pieterse) -- duking it out for supremacy. When Tanner (played by Willet) is outed as gay, he suddenly becomes the ultimate G.B.F. and the clique queens pounce, forcing him to choose between popularity and the true friends, including his own B.F.F. Brent (Paul Iacono) that he's leaving behind.
G.B.F. also stars Megan Mullally, Natasha Lyonne, Joanna "JoJo" Levesque, Evanna Lynch, Michael J. Willett and Molly Tarlov. | {

Commercial photography of mens leather bags.
When you're a manufacturer or retailer of quality accessories it's important to have high quality leather bags photography. Here at Photographer Brisbane we produce superb images that help sell your accessories. Our Brisbane commercial photographer is an expert at men's bags photography.
To shoot leather briefcases and bags, we firstly pack out the products so they have a great shape. This gets them ready for the photos to be created. After they are all shaped correctly we set up great lighting. With leather goods we use a relatively flat type of lighting with minimal lighting going across the surface of the leather at an angle. This help to hide the flaws and excess texture of the leather bags. The photos are taken with our professional cameras.
After the photos of the bags and briefcases have been taken we retouch the files cleaning up the surfaces. Colour correction is also done at this stage so that when the images are used the customer can see exactly what the colour will look like when it arrives . Finally weclip the backgrounds so the files can be used when the client gets them.
These bags were shot for Urbbana Menswear Brisbane. They use the leather briefcase photography we supplied them for webstore as well as marketing including in print magazines. Having detailed photos ready to go make it easier to supply image to media when the ask, maximising print exposure to your brand.
Contact our Leather Bag photographer in Brisbane . We'd love to help you get the photos of your leather goods. . | {

AIG Mentoring Program
An initiative of the National Graduate Group
How do I sign up to be part of AIG Mentoring Program?
2023 Registrations open.
For further information on the programs prior to registering you should read:
AIG Mentoring Programs 2022 Handbook
The AIG Mentoring Programs began in 2015 as an initiative of the National Graduate Committee. The Programs aim to connect undergraduate students, MSc/PhD Candidates and early, mid career and more mature geoscientists with senior geoscience professionals to seek practical advice, direction and feedback on their future careers.
AIG Mentoring Programs are active in most States including a Distance Mentoring Program for remote and travelling geoscientists. The programs have formal, face-to-face events and allow programs which run over 5-6 months annually. Mentor-mentee contact is through private face to face, telephone or skype meetings as well as programmed formal meetings and social events. This allows time for the development of strong relationships between mentees and mentors and encourages networking with the general geoscience community.
Program Aim
Our program connects younger geoscientists with more experienced industry professionals and provides networking opportunities within the wider geoscience community. The aim is to build our community by providing emerging geoscientists with advice and experience from knowledgeable professionals who are looking to give back to the profession.
Our mentors come from a variety of geoscience sectors and provide practical advice and guidance on a number of areas of interest, in regard to the beginning, maintaining and/or changes in a healthy career in geoscience.
We at AIG believe mentoring is an important part of developing and sustaining the geoscience community and welcome your participation in these programs.
The AIG Mentoring Programs are now available to all AIG members. Participants must be a current member (all categories) of the AIG.
Mentors are not charged to participate in the program.
Charges for Mentees to join the program are:
Free to All AIG members.
Satisfactory completion of the program (attending formal events where possible and regular communication between pairings) will earn each Student Mentee a $50 voucher towards the cost of attending an AIG CPD event (workshop/symposium) of their choice.
Both Mentors and Mentees can claim CPD points for their participation in the programs. Further information on CPD points can be found at https://www.aig.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Guidelines-for-Registration-of-Geoscientists-as-RPGeo_-2017_06.pdf
During the program mentees and mentors must commit to meet regularly to discuss and work on their mentoring program objectives which they will set at the start of the program.
In addition to mentor-mentee meetings, the program includes three formal events:
Kick-Off Event – April/May
Mid-term Social Event
Final Event/Program finish – October/November
Programs are currently running in WA, NSW, VIC, QLD and SA both in urban and some regional centres (Kalgoorlie, Townsville, Orange) where participation is sufficient.
For people located outside the urban and regional areas or in a state without an active program, the Distance Program is for you. This program uses online technology to facilitate mentoring, regardless of location.
Kick Off Events
The following video is the Kick Off Event for QLD for 2020. This video gives an in depth look at the structure of the program, expectations and obligations of participants, benefits and conditions of the mentoring program.

My Wife's Great-Grandmother was Irish, and to her dying day talked about the Black-hearted Presbyterian SOB's that stole their land.
Her Granddaughter went to college, and her first roommate was Presbyterian, and had a Grandmother who hated Catholics. They ended up good friends. (It's a much better story when My M-i-L tells it in her horribly fake Irish Accent)

It's a natural response - our brains can only cope with relatively small groups of people so we're very much predisposed towards seperating everyone into "in-group" and "out-group" and hating the out-group.
Segregation and persecution and discrimination and prejudice are the results of this, because it's extremely hard for us to conceive of people who aren't in our in-group as real people. Not that this excuses any such behaviour (we are intelligent enough to be able to rise above our biology) but it at least puts it into some kind of context.
I personally find it difficult not to have contempt for people who are rich because they have rich parents or spouse, or because they had lucky breaks rather than earning by their own hard work. This is because of my own working-class background where even my relatively recent ancestors had to struggle to survive. I'm working on that prejudice, but I still can't help but feel that anyone who has more than enough money to live on should be giving something back to those less fortunate. Why does a billionaire need to buy another business when people are literally starving? It makes me sick. /rant.
But yeah. People are people. But it's hard to see that.
Just assume I'm always doing that.
Damn it, Ronway!

I'm in a bit of a "Hmm" moment job-wise too. I've been working in the book department of a shop for nearly seven years now - never wanted to work in retail, just ended up there. I've been trying to find a new job for about two years now, since my partner and I got together which means I have someone to move in with whenever I finally leave home...but to do that, I need a new job so I'm actually earning enough to be able to afford bills and stuff - right now I don't earn very much and then spend about half of it on the train fares to get me to work in the first place.
Just over a year ago I had the brainwave of "Hey hang on, the thing I really like doing is writing about stuff...so why don't I look for jobs involving that?". A quick Google search later led me to Elance, a site for freelance writing, and I did a few jobs there. Don't have anything on the go right now but have made a few proposals lately and will probably put in a few more some time soon, since I don't really have any problems finding jobs there that I think I can do. I'm also involved in helping someone (a fellow forum member on a forum I've been a part of for over ten years now, a forum dedicated to an old dungeon-crawling game from 1987) with the development of his upcoming game (Dwelvers) by writing the background fluff on all the monsters and stuff. Not that I'm getting any money for that or anything - I just kind of ended up part of the dev team by accident, but I'm not complaining ;).
If I could manage to get a regular job doing some kind of game-related writing (game guides, articles describing games and generally talking about them, background fluff for RPGs, etc), that would be epic, but so far it's just been freelance stuff which of course isn't really reliable enough, pay-wise for me to ditch my "actual" job and do that instead. Still, maybe if I keep at it then something will come up. I keep meaning to write some more stuff for my own website but other stuff keeps coming up, lol.

Whenever I've seen anyone talk about how they got a job writing for a game-related site, they always say it started with their personal game-related blog. Having a blog they regularly updated with smart, fun content that showed their passion for gaming was the best key to getting a job doing it professionally because it showed they were already experienced at being interesting on a regular basis and attracting readers.

I'm an engineer who works as an Owner's representative on large municipal projects. My degree is in Bioengineering, which had all the anatomy of a pre-med degree and all the statics, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer of a mechanical engineering degree. The two have next to nothing to do with one another, but the pace and difficulty of the degree has served me well.
Did I ever expect that I would wind up doing this? Never. But it is good work when it isn't stupid, or crazy, or crazy stupid.
It admirably paid the bills when my daughter got sick.

Wow. So you are, effectively, a professional research assistant? (if that is simplifying too far, don't be afraid to tell me to stuff my perceptions :P) I could see that being a pretty fulfilling job actually - being able to always touch on so many different subjects every time you get a new project, that could be a lot of fun.
I was talking with my girlfriend about it today, and we wondered what kind of classes filled up enough for a Masters degree? And what would you write your thesis about?

Another option in the RPG world is to find an author/designer with a small personal project and kill it writing something for that. It's flattering and sure to be noticed. I would cite Brian Clevinger's "Becoming" as an example. It's not big, but he's personally very proud of it. And he knows and works with some big names.

I'm lost as to what to do with myself, as well. I got my English Literature degree about a year ago. I'm currently brewing coffee as my main source of income. However, about ten of my 35-45 hours a week are spent working at a comic shop I've been frequenting since I was eight. It's really satisfying working at a local shop where I've spent so much time developing wonderful interests and strong friendships. I even get to sell copies of Sentinels (We just got three copies of RC/IR, and I found out one of my favorite regulars is a fan and plays with a former coworker of mine)! It's really satisfying telling people that I not only have a lot of experience playing the game, but playtesting it as well. Playtesting may not pay, but it's certainly given me some credibility when I'm encouraging folks to drop $40 on a game!
The point is that I'm happy with my education, happy with at least one of my jobs, and am eager to see where life takes me.

[...]the best way to get started making money writing for games was not to make money writing for games.
I cannot agree enough. Yes. Absolutely.
If you're willing to work hard at something, regardless of the money it makes you, you have a better chance succeeding than you do if you do something for the income.
It all comes down to passion.

Actually reminds me of a quote from Buddha that I have on my wall:
"Success is not the key to happiness, happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."
I just happen to be really lucky that what I love to do is IT work, lol.

Jffdougan - I've never heard of Fred Hicks or Evil Hat...I'm guessing the "FATE system" is some kind of RPG system? I have a fair bit of experience at RPGs - a lot of computer-based ones and some tabletop ones as well. Preferably Fantasy-based ones, of course ;). I'll do some more writing for my website some time soon. I also have a bunch of writing I need to do for Dwelvers...hopefully if that game does well, I might attract some kind of attention there.
I'm not generally fussed about making money - it's just kind of a pain that it's sort of necessary to, you know, live and stuff ;). If I could earn some cash without needing to spend half of said cash just in getting to the place where I earn it, that would be a good start, but I don't want a crappy job that I don't enjoy. My current job certainly has various annoying/boring things that happen, but it's not too bad most of the time - I mean, it could certainly be worse. It's just not what I want to be doing forever. I need to churn out a bunch more writing and stick it on the Internet so someone important will magically turn up, see it and go "Hey, I like that - can you do some for me? Here is money" :D.
FATE is an RPG system, and although it's chiefly the house system for Evil Hat (who are best known for being the team behind the Spirit of the Century! and Dresden Files RPGs), there are a large number of people who have started to use it outside of Evil Hat because the system is an open license. Fred's the primary face of the company, and is both an advocate of transparency in operations and a Really Good Guy in general.
I'm not sure if the open call has closed, but you might want to look it up. If nothing else, FATE Core and FATE Accelerated are both "pay what you want" for PDF versions, and really worth looking at. (FAE is all of 32 pages, IIRC. Not more than 64.)

I cannot agree more. I'm just now finding a paying use for my Master's degree, and it is only part time. But I have been out there, worked terrible jobs, and know I will do whatever it takes to succeed in my field. My field, history, is never a field you make money in, but it is something you have to care about to do. Same with writing. You may succeed some day, but you have to put in the time and energy before that happens. It's frustrating, exhausting, and sometimes feels futile. But you will have a more fulfilling life.

"Heh, pow. Sound effects are the best." –The Idealist
Hmm, I think I might vaguely have heard of Spirit of the Century and the Dresden Files, but that's as far as my knowledge goes. I'd have to actually look them up and find some info on what they're about - what genre, what kind of dice system and character mechanics they use and stuff. I just tried a quick Google for "Evil Hat" and found what looks to be their website so I'll have to have a read of that at some point - I don't have much going on this weekend so that would seem to be a good time :).
I just really like creating stuff - coming up with races of creatures, the world they live in, little fluff details (though not so much for "civilised races", with politics and all that messy stuff - if I'm coming up with a sentient race, they're likely to be more "basic/primitive" ;)) and all the little bits that I like to know for myself even if they don't actually come up in whatever it is I'm writing. There was a forum-based game of DnD a few years back on one of my forums, run by another member, and my character ended up being a member of a race I invented just for the purposes of having a character belonging to a race I wanted (or something). And I've since come up with all these little background details and stuff on the race in general, even though basically none of it came up in the game (basically a dungeon crawl in which no-one really had huge amounts of time to sit down and discuss the tiniest details of each other's backgrounds ;)). I have been able to use the race again, though, when I ran a DnD RPG for the guy who was running that other game and included some members of my made-up race in my made-up country :).
Anyway, I think I'm sidetracking myself into talking about games again - probably should let other people carry on talking about stuff that actually fits into the topic of this thread ;).
Ameena, I've played a lot of FATE and I'm confident that it's your kind of game. It's one of those narrative make-up-cool-stuff type games where you get to be someone who can do awesome stuff, and it uses special FATE dice (also sometimes called FUDGE dice) which are D6s with 2 sides with a +, 2 with a - and two blank.
My favourite bit of the system is the aspects, one of the ways you define your character (you'll have a few of these). Like skills almost, but more individual and less specific. Some examples from games I've been in include, "I used to be a boxer, but now I'm fat", "Exploring the mysteries of the mind", "There's more to life than crystals and s**t", "Fickle Goblin Luck" and "I'm English, and in a foreign country. The chances are, I have tea." You can get bonuses for your aspects if you can explain how they apply to what you're trying to do, and similarly the GM can use them "against" you. The fat ex-boxer dude's player might claim he's going to be good at lifting up a car because he did a lot of strength training or something, and similarly the GM might suggest that he's no longer fit enough to run up three flights of stairs.
Mostly it's about making an exciting story and not really about "winning" like so many RPGs are. It's common (and fun!) to accept negative stuff because it fits with your character, or just to make things more interesting, but you do get to do awesome things as well.
I really haven't explained it well so I apologise, but it's great. Probably my favourite system.
Fate is the system that, I think, has best realized that most people playing RPGs don't want to model the reality in which a genre exists, they want to model the stories told in that genre. It models storytelling. Mutants and Masterminds did similar with hero points, but Fate opens it up.
Hmm, sounds reminiscent of Nobilis, in which the character gen is largely designed around the fluff, with only four stats to worry about which work like resource points you can spend when you want to do certain things, and which can be restored when you rest or whatever. Everything else is done by more descriptive means, like a bunch of phrases you come up with (at gen) which describe your area of power (basically you're a mortal who's been imbued with a tiny portion of a godlike creature's power, thus making you the "god" of whatever - the god of rain, of time, of socks, of mouldy bread, of hamsters...anything you like), so as long as you can fit something into one of those phrases when trying to use your powers (and have the points to spend on it), you can do it. It's quite good fun :). When I played it, I took Change as my thing, so I could basically shapeshift myself or other people/objects into whatever I wanted :D. Nobilis also uses no dice, and is the only tabletop RPG I've ever come across which does so.
Mutants and Masterminds is another RPG I've heard of but never played. Maybe these are just bigger over in America than they are over here, so that's why they've never come up for me? I've played a bunch of tabletop RPGs including DnD, Hollow Earth Expedition, Nobilis, all four of the Warhammer 40k gams (Dark heresy, Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, and Black Crusade), Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (aka WFRP), Doctor Who, Farscape, Scion (sort of), Deadlands (uses the Savage Worlds mechanics), Traveller, Mouse Guard, and probably some others I can't think of right now. I also own the Red Dwarf RPG but haven't got round to playing it yet. I'm currently attempting to run a Hollow Earth game over on RPOL (Roleplay Online, basically a forum composed entirely of RPGs) which is going pretty well atm :).
I may look into FATE but I don't think I'd have anyone to play it with atm (certainly not at tabletop, and playing online I'd need to find someone willing to run a game as I wouldn't want to try running something I've never played before). It does sound interesting, though :).

i would totally run a play by forum or play by email FATE game. love the system
Ooh...sounds promising. Have you ever used RPOL? Maybe you could check it out ;). If you decide you might actually start running a game, I'll have to see if I can locate a PDF of the rulebook(s)...

I would totally be up for that. FATE is fun...

The new version of FATE was released as a pay what you want deal*, so you could buy it for zero English Pounds, it's certainly worth more than that though.
I am thinking that Christopher might be obliquely hinting that the last expansion will be named something like the Fate of the Multiverse, but it would be awesome to be proved wrong

Add me to the OMGFATEYES list. I'm totally up for playing.
PlatinumWarlock
That would definitely be a blast!
My own game really isn't built for the varied supers universe that SotM provides....Rook City, though, would be another story!
Just realised that could be read as OMG FAT EYES. And now I can't stop seeing it.
Wait. That wasn't what you meant?
I've downloaded the PDF and am having a read through it - it looks interesting :). Still only reading through char gen atm so haven't got onto how the mechanics work (other than the explanation of what Fate Dice are at the beginning) but it looks like a fairly simple system to get into. I wouldn't mind giving it a go if someone's up for running a game, since I think the whole worldbuilding thing looks pretty interesting, potentially something I might use myself in the future because it seems so flexible and open :).

Well, I guess this is as good a time as any to explain why I won't have too much time to playtest.
I'm nearing the end of my second year of medical school, which really puts a kaboosh on the amount of free time I have. I really enjoy playing this game, especially as a solitaire, for stress relief.
I honestly get jealous of the amount of free time people have, and their ability to leave their job at their job, but c'est la vie.
I kind of regret going strait from high school to college to med school, without taking some time off. I just get burnt out sometimes. Which is why I was so excited to find a way to focus my attention elsewhere, even for brief amounts of time.
I'm not here to complain, either. I met my girlfriend while at school, and we've been together for a couple of years and are living together quite happily. We even have a few cats. I just wish I had more time to enjoy it, lol.
So, if any of you playtesters are going wonder why I will dissappear from time to time, it's not due to lack of desire; just precious time.
Also, my college major was in liberal arts and sciences, with a major concentration in Pre-Med (Because my school only hands out liberal arts degrees...).
SSJ3Godzilla - I salute you. I hope your time in med school leaves you with a bit of sanity. I have several friends and relatives in health care, and have spent considerable time at the hospital for my major (way back when) and my daughter (for the past three years).
Think that you're investing time now to have free time some time later. I don't know if it's true, but let's pretend it. :)
My first two years of college went really great. I made bunch of great friends, made the Dean's list repeatedly, and in my second year I got to add "Assistant Designer to Sentinels of the Multiverse: Shattered Timelines Expansion" to my resumé. Unfortunately, toward the end of my second year I got paralyzed with depression and left a lot of work unfinished.
My third year should've been really great; it was the first time I'd get my best college friend as a roommate, I was living in a sci-fi/animé-themed hall that showed movies every week, and to combat the depression I had tried reducing my courseload to 2 courses only. But even that wasn't enough. Every time I had to write a paper, I'd spend hours staring at a blank screen before ADD eventually took over and i'd find myself goofing off. Any work not related to my major (game design) I just could not get myself to do.
Worst of all, it was really hard to accept that this all wasn't, in some way, my fault. I knew I was procrastinating, I was completely aware I was wasting time when I was supposed to be working, but doing the work ment facing that fact, and I couldn't stand to be reminded of all the work I had to do. So I continued to goof off in an effort to ignore my problems, because that was easier. Even now, some part of me still wonders if I really did all I could, if there was some strategy I didn't try.
A month or so into the semester, I had no choice but to take a leave of absence from college. The idea was to give me time to recover, but leaving behind all my friends and all the game design work( which I loved) just made me feel worse. I had nothing to do, and no one but family to do things with.
Since then, things have gotten a little better. Slowly. I worked on some personal projects, made visits to my college, and finished up an animation final assignment from a previous year. I'm gonna try getting some work at a game company near me, and I found some high school friends who are still in the area and availiable to hang out with( we're gonna try out D&D 5th edition together!). And of course, there's stuff to do on these forums. But it's not the same. And I'm determined to go back to school, but I have no idea how I'm supposed to recover from an inability to do work. I know I used to be able to function, but it's been so long I can't really remember what that was like. It felt really good, though.
I hope I'm not broken.
I make games! Here's one of them! http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/626169

If you are, I wish you the very best of luck in either getting fixed, or learning to love the state you're in. In the brief time I spent with you at PAX East I got the sense of someone who had a lot going on internally that they were dealing with, but also who had a lot to offer the world.
Everyone's different and we all deal with challenges. Some people's challenges may be much more challenging than others. For what it's worth, I've found that even some of my issues I used to think were intractable have been managed or even squelched entirely. Along the way I've discovered that there were ways I assumed the world worked and ways that I defined myself that were simply wrong -- interpretations or definitions I adopted/assigned as a child or under stress (or both) that I took as gospel, but did not need to be so.
For instance, most of my life I believed that I was unlovable. It took a lot of internal work, but I eventually was able to track this down to the fact that the way my parents and siblings showed love was simply different to what I was expecting. Upon having that epiphany, I was able to reframe a tremendous number of other events in my life and vastly change the way I feel about myself. I certainly can't promise that you'll have an analogous epiphany, but I can at least say that such things are possible.
Hi. My name's Andy. Feel free to call me Andy, since, ya know, that's my name. (he/him/his)
If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If not now, when? If I am for myself alone, what am I? -- Hillel
Oh Alex. Being unable to finish or even start stuff, and then getting overwhelmed by all the stuff you have to do and ignoring the fact that the undone stuff's becoming more and more of a problem because it's too much to deal with, and the subsequent snowball effect? I'm right there with you.
I can't recommend cognitive behaviour therapy highly enough, if that's a possibility for you. It's incredibly hard work but if you really commit to it, it'll help. CBT literally saved my life, despite me not believing in it at all at first - I went to my first session passively suicidal (wanting to just not exist any more) and came away with homework and the resolve that I was going to work my butt off to prove to this woman who had no idea of how I felt that her ridiculous idea of challenging my negative thoughts and doing fun things even though I wasn't going to actually enjoy them couldn't possibly affect my faulty brain chemistry. So I threw myself into the work she gave me, with the intention of going to my next session and telling my therapist that it didn't work. I was so mad to have to admit that I did feel better despite myself. And I continued to get better, because then I knew I could do it.
I'm still prone to depressive episodes but now I have the tools to combat them and I've never been anything like how I was before therapy.
It's easy for me to say but depression isn't your fault, and you can't be expected to function in the same way as a person without mental health problems. Don't beat yourself up for something you didn't choose, but know that you can get yourself out of it given the right guidance. Hang in there.

...getting fixed, or learning to love the state you're in.
Yeah. Some things can be changed, other things you have to adapt to or accept. The ability to recognise which is which is an extremely useful skill.

the Serenity prayer is not just for alcoholics...
I say that not as a religious person... and not really as an alcoholic (although the propensity is definitely there). I just mean that I agree that it is important to find strength and acceptance within you and even more important to have the clarity to see which one applies when.
You are all very kind. Thank you. (-:

Daily Divine: What have you learned this year?
It is always interesting to look back at what you've learned in a time period.
The year... it's 365 rotations of sunrise to sunset.
And we are most defintely not the people we were, when we started on this journey back at the beginning of 2016.
1. What is the one thing you spend the most time doing? The second most?
3. What made you happiest and gave you the most joy?
4. What did not work at all? Do you know why or not?
5. What life goals did you accomplish? Was it a "buidling" year or a "resting" year?
6. What was left undone, or what do you still need to work on?
7. What soul lessons did you learn? Name as many as you can think of.
We move into 2017 with hope, trepidation, uncertainty.
It's going to be a year of more big change. It's okay. The Uinverse is in charge. We are eternal souls on an infinite journey. No need to worry.

Manchester Monarchs says this season was team's last
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — The Manchester Monarchs says this past season was the hockey team's last.
The Monarchs said Wednesday after "many years of investment and financial support," first from the Los Angeles Kings organization and ultimately by an investor group, and after seeking assistance from the city, state and the SNHU Arena, it decided this would be its last season.
SNHU Arena officials said they were surprised by the news.
Tim Bechert, senior general manager of SNHU, said the New Hampshire arena will begin researching a new professional team to bring to Manchester.
The Monarchs played for 18 seasons in Manchester, first as an AHL affiliate of the Kings before trading places with the Ontario Reign, the Kings' affiliate in the ECHL. The ECHL team retained the Monarchs name after moving to Manchester. | {

The so-called "great commission" of the Lord to His disciples is found in somewhat different form in each of the four gospels and in still another form in the first chapter of Acts. To get the full message of the commission, all five must be analyzed and organized together.
The most familiar statement is in Mark 16:15 above. This was in the upper room and must have followed the words recorded by John: "Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you" (John 20:21). | {

Mozilla and Tor Warn of Critical Firefox Vulnerability, Urge Users to Update
Thursday December 1, 2016 3:11 AM PST by Tim Hardwick
Mozilla and Tor have published browser updates to patch a critical Firefox vulnerability used to deanonymize users (via ArsTechnica).
Privacy tool Tor is based on the open-source Firefox browser developed by Mozilla, which received a copy of the previously unknown JavaScript-based attack code yesterday. Mozilla said in a blog post that the vulnerability had been fixed in a just-released version of Firefox for mainstream users.
The code execution flaw was reportedly already being exploited in the wild on Windows systems, but in an advisory published later on Wednesday, Tor officials warned that Mac users were vulnerable to the same hack.
"Even though there is currently, to the best of our knowledge, no similar exploit for OS X or Linux users available, the underlying bug affects those platforms as well. Thus we strongly recommend that all users apply the update to their Tor Browser immediately."
The exploit is capable of sending the user's IP and MAC address to an attacker-controlled server, and resembles "network investigative techniques" previously used by law-enforcement agencies to unmask Tor users, leading some in the developer community to speculate that the new exploit was developed by the FBI or another government agency and was somehow leaked. Mozilla security official Daniel Veditz stopped short of pointing the finger at the authorities, but underlined the perceived risks involved in attempts to sabotage online privacy.
"If this exploit was in fact developed and deployed by a government agency, the fact that it has been published and can now be used by anyone to attack Firefox users is a clear demonstration of how supposedly limited government hacking can become a threat to the broader Web."
The Firefox attack code first circulated on Tuesday on a Tor discussion list and was quickly confirmed as a zero-day exploit – the term given to vulnerabilities that are actively used in the wild before the developer has a patch in place.
The latest Tor update that fixes the vulnerability is version 6.0.7 and can be downloaded here.
Vanilla Firefox users can download the update to their browser manually from here.

I don't know who these people who work to assure our privacy and give us products for free... but thank you!
People still use Mozilla?
Yes, we do.

Firefox is still a great browser and yes, I still use it.

I've downloaded 50.0.1 this morning, now 50.0.2 is available.
To force upgrade: Open Menu Firefox, About Firefox, there's the update button.
And open the same menu again to restart Firefox.
*** Just going to Firefox.com might show that you've the latest version running, even if you're still on 50.0.1 But you're probably not running the latest version so use the above to upgrade.
Mozilla, please make sure you update your ESR versions as well for those of us who are unable to run you latest release on perfectly good devices.
Firefox ESR 45.5.1 ('https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/45.5.1/releasenotes/') includes the security fix.
This includes iOS users as well that can't run iOS 9 & 10. Thank you.
I doubt the iOS version is affected, as it uses Apple's Webkit layout engine rather than Mozilla's Gecko (which is used in the desktop version).

My goal is to provide clients with a safe and supportive environment to not just solve their existing problems, but to also equip them with the tools and skills to help them face tough situations they may face in the future.
The first step for a client is to call or email me to set up the initial consultation where we will talk about what you want to get out of counselling. If you are happy to continue we will set up a second session and arrange to see you on a weekly basis.
I believe that nothing should stand in the way of our clients achieving their goals but I also understand how hard it can be to set time aside to focus on yourself. That is why I offer a number of different options from day and evening therapy sessions, online counselling and workshops so that your therapeutic needs are still met.
I am a volunteer counsellor and committee member with MACP (Mid-Ulster Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
I undertake regular Continuous Professional Development and regular supervision and I am currently studying for my Level 5 and 6 Diplomas in Counselling supported by Research.
I specialise in Anxiety Issues and Work Related Stress having worked for one of the largest banks in Northern Ireland I have extensive first hand experience to just how devastating work related stress can have on people and the effects it can have on their families.
I am very passionate about being a counsellor and I always ensure the client's welfare is at the centre of everything I do.

The Bootstrap framework has exploded in popularity the past couple of years, and with it has grown the amount of Bootstrap Templates you can find on the Internet. Since being developed as an internal tool at the Twitter labs to create consistency among apps, the Bootstrap framework has been released to help everyone create their own websites and apps using its easy front-end features.
Template.net is not blind to this. We've featured many Bootstrap collections in the past, so if you're interested, do check those out from our archives. Here are just 7+ more templates we thought deserved a mention.
Like a lot of people, you might have heard of this framework without realizing what it is. Bootstrap is a framework, or a structure, to help with interface development.
It was developed at Twitter and was originally called the "Twitter Blueprint." Using Bootstrap, new apps could be developed on solid code, allowing you flexibility on the front-end design.
What Are These Bootstrap Templates?
Bootstrap makes designing your web stuff easier, but it doesn't start the designing for you. A lot of beginners will find it useful to have ready-made options to help them get started. This will be useful for a lot of people pressed for time as well. A lot of these you will recognize as bootstrap dashboard templates, since this is where most beginners get stuck.
If you are looking for the easiest way to create a professional-looking website for personal or business purposes, don't get left behind. See what these templates can do for you.
You will have to have a version of Bootstrap already downloaded on your computer (it's free). Anything from version 2.0 up will be compatible with many of these templates, and version 3.3.7 (released July 2016) is now compatible with the latest versions of Google Chrome, Firefox, IE, Opera, and Safari.
Some of these Bootstrap templates are up for purchase, while some are free. Prices can range anywhere from nothing to $10 USD, so be sure to check the product specifics at the respective download pages.
If you're not up to buy what's on sale, it is still worth studying the free screenshots and layouts that catch your eye. See if you can replicate something like it on your own. Inspiration is always free, but it will pay for itself when you hit upon the right idea.
Still Wondering if Bootstrap Is for You?
If you're still not sure what Bootstrap can do for you, take two minutes and look through some bootstrap landing page templates.
If any of them seem click-worthy to you, you'll know it can offer the same thing for your site. Especially if you're running a web company that's running on a pay-per-click basis, the landing page design is what you need to pay attention to the most.
Bootstrap tries to make responsive design easier for everyone with the drive to research and play around with the interface a bit.
Join the Bootstrap world of efficient design and see what you think. It's an investment worth looking into. | {

Institut de Biologia Evolutiva - CSIC UPF
Researcher Tomàs Marquès-Bonet is the new director of the Institute of Evolutionary Biology
The Board of Trustees of the IBE, a joint centre of Pompeu Fabra University and the CSIC, has appointed the scientist Tomàs Marquès-Bonet as the new director of the Institute, replacing his predecessor Xavier Bellés, who has been in charge of the institution for the last eight years.
With an internationally renowned scientific career, Dr. Marquès-Bonet will assume his new role as director with the challenges of consolidating the Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE) as a leader in evolutionary biology research in southern Europe. Its more than 120 workers are distributed between two neighbouring buildings: the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB) and the Mediterranean Marine and Environmental Research Centre (CMIMA).
Tomàs Marquès-Bonet (1975) earned his PhD in Biology at Pompeu Fabra University (UPF). He is an ICREA research professor, head of the Comparative Genomics group at the IBE and the National Centre for Genomic Analysis (CNAG-CRG), and UPF adjunct lecturer at UPF. Since last year, Marquès-Bonet had been the deputy director of the IBE.
In his new role as director, Marquès-Bonet will continue the project, contributing with new ideas and challenges for the centre, maintaining excellence as the central axis. Thus, in this new stage, the new director aims to ensure that the IBE remains a reference in the field of evolutionary biology worldwide.
As he said: "Among my goals as director, I hope to contribute to the scientific excellence and growth of the Institute of Evolutionary Biology in Barcelona. The main challenges will be to maintain a leading level of scientific production at the international level and attract public and private funding, as well as consolidate the success of our project".
For his part, CSIC research professor Xavier Bellés, outgoing director, hopes to be able to focus on the research of the group he directs, the Evolution of Insect Metamorphosis Lab. In his farewell, Bellés said: "I am sure that having fostered and promoted the IBE has been the most important thing I have done in my scientific career, and leading the Institute during its first eight years has been a great honour".
Marquès-Bonet did a four-year post-doctoral stage at the University of Washington thanks to a Marie Curie fellowship, and in 2010 he returned to Barcelona to start up his own laboratory with a Ramón y Cajal grant. That same year he received a Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) to study the genetic diversity of great apes. In 2013 he received the prestigious Young Investigator Award from the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO). He has participated in the publication of more than 80 scientific articles, highlighting those published by his laboratory in Nature (2013) and Science (2016). In addition, he has published more than 15 articles in these journals as a member of international consortiums of comparative genomics, on such subjects as the genomes of the Neanderthal, Denisovan, bonobo, gorilla, orangutan, gibbon, marmoset, lynx, cats and others.

"Dear Danny Loader,
It's been a long journey. Twenty-two years together. It was great and you were an incredible player to work with.
It all started in June 2016 when I became a new manager of Reading FC. I promoted you immediately from the U18s to the First Team despite you were only 15 years old.
One of the reasons why I started a save with Reading FC in FM17 was to play with young players who were in the club at the start of the game. Jordan Obita, Dominic Samuel, Liam Kelly, Jake Cooper and you – Danny Loader.
Your friends and teammates from the Under 18 squad stayed in the youth team and were released after some time. But you worked hard in the first team, I gave you a lot of time for developing and you played for Under 23s team and you scored a lot of goals. Just for fun.
You broke the Reading record for the youngest player to score in a match, at the age of 17 years and 22 days.
You were wanted by several Premier League clubs and you started the third season as our striker #4. We played with 4-3-1-2 and you were trained for Poacher role. You made great progress with some attributes, for example Off the Ball (8 to 11), First Touch (8 to 11), Acceleration (13 to 16) or Decision (7 to 10).
During the third season, you were outshined by Rob Harker surprisingly. Dominic Samuel was the number one and Harker became the number two during the season as he scored 16 goals in 22 matches (Harker was released in June 2021 after unsuccessful loan spells in Coventry and Newport County in previous two seasons).
You played just three matches in the starting XI in the Championship, scored two goals and made one assist. Despite a "bad" season, you went to FIFA World Cup U-20 with England and with 11 goals in six matches you became the best goalscorer of the tournament and England won it.
When we were promoted to the Premier League in the third season it was only the beginning. Dominic Samuel was injured during the pre-season before our first season back in the top-flight and I decided to make you our striker number one. And you delivered.
You played in 35 Premier League matches and scored 16 goals. You were voted Youth Player of the Month four times during this season. And you also signed a new contract until 2024.
We finished sixth in our first season back in the Premier League and the next season you were even better – 41 goals and 20 assists in 54 matches. We won the first Premier League title in this season (2020/2021) as well. You were still only 20 years old…
You were that good I had to write a short study about your development for my friends…
Two years later we won the Champions League for the first time in club history. It was our 1st Champions League trophy, the 1st of 12 in a row. It lasts three years when we won Premier League title again. And you helped the team to win it with 23 league goals and 13 assists in 30 matches.
The next season (2024/2025) was absolutely incredible. You made 60 appearances, scored 45 goals (34 in 37 Premier League appearances) and made also 25 assists. Before this season you were unhappy and you wanted to leave the club.
It was for the first and also for the last time you wanted to leave. It was because I refused to give you a wage around £200k p/w.
After this season I gave you £300k p/w even though you didn't want this much…
As time went you became more and more popular thanks to your performances. My friends were interested only about your stats and your goals and the rest of the team was not important. When you were injured we all were sad and we just wanted to have you back in the lineup.
You, Liam Kelly, Josh Barret and Dominic Samuel. You all were absolutely perfect attacking players I could have in the squad. You were unstoppable.
As you were older, the 2030/2031 season was very bad. You were injured for a long period and you scored "only" 18 goals in 38 matches. In 2033/2034 season it was even worse. Only 13 goals in 39 matches and many injuries left you outside of the pitch.
During the 2034/2035 season, you turned 34 years old. I was afraid you will want to retire from professional football. After some tactical experiments and as you were not able to play as Complete Forward anymore I decided to create a new tactic just for you.
I decided to play you in Advanced Forward role, your favourite one. And you were like a ten years young version of yourself. You were everywhere despite you were not fast enough but you were able to score from every position. When we finally settled with the new formation you scored 12 goals in six matches and I was sure you were back.
In July 2034 you signed a new two-year deal with the club with a possible one-year extension but I was more and more prepared for that message: 'Long-serving striker Danny Loader has decided to retire from professional football.'
Before the 2034/2035 season, Josh Barrett and Luke Southwood retired, same as defender Joshua Emmanuel who was in the club for a very long time.
And you were the last player from the original squad in the team. A lot of young players as we had to start a build a new team around you, some experienced players and youngsters.
We won fourth Premier League title in a row but our Champions League run ended after 12 wins in a row. And you became the club best goalscorer of the season like many times before…
It looked like you will retire when you were 34 years old but despite some other injuries and lack of playing time you decided to continue. We won some trophies between 2034 – 2037 and you decided to play another season meanwhile you also decided you will probably become a scout when you'll retire.
Before the 2036/2037 season, we had a chat, you wanted to go for a new challenge but I refused to let you go.
I was selfish and I added to your contract a "One-Year Extension After League Matches". You played a minimum of five matches in all previous seasons so your contract was extended every time and we reached the agreement you will play as a central midfielder.
It resulted in this goal for example…
Danny Loader's goal against Liverpool (3/10/2037)
You also became our captain for this season as I thought it will be your last one…
…9th November 2037 was the date. I came to the office early morning and you came in before a training session and told me you will retire at the end of the season.
We secured the Premier League title two matches before the end of the 2037/2038 season after a 2-0 win over QPR. We beat also Derby 2-0 and in the last league match of the season, we played away in Southampton. You scored in the 37th minute to give a lead but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
It was your last Premier League goal. It was your 323rd Premier League goal in your career.
The last two matches of this season and your career as well were against Chelsea in the FA Cup Final and against Barcelona in the Champions League Final. We beat Chelsea 2-1 and you played only the first half as you had a slight injury.
In the Champions League Final, we scored a perfect goal after the corner counter and you played the full 90 minutes. The last 90 minutes of your career.
A month later after the last match, you definitely retired from football and you signed a contract with the club and became our new scout.
Several weeks before I wrote these words about your professional career in the virtual world of Football Manager, you signed your 1st professional contract with Reading FC in real life. On the same day, you scored 4 goals in a friendly match against Queens Park Rangers' 1st team.
And almost all Reading FC fans turned crazy and they look forward to your next performances and development. Same as me and my friends were crazy about your stats and performances in Football Manager 2017 and my save with Reading FC.
Dear Danny,
Good luck in your real life football career. I'm sure it will be a cracking journey for you and Reading FC…

"Coaching is for winners." In other words, coaching reaches out to people with potential who want to ensure and build on their successes. Deciding to take part in individual or team coaching and training is a decision in favour of development, growth and success.
For companies this means financial success, through increased sales, improved customer relationships, maximum levels of staff motivation, reductions in recruitments costs, optimised processes and much, much more. It has been proved that employees right up to leadership level are less likely to leave their company when given the opportunity to further their own personal development through training and coaching.
How an individual defines his or her own "personal success" is very subjective. To this end, lifestyle, personal and social skills can form the focus of coaching sessions just as much as economic success and career planning. In holistic coaching the methods and themes can be tailored 100% to the needs and goals of the individual being coached.
For some time now, middle and upper management have been using coaches as sparring partners. Self-reflection and regular feedback on one's professional conduct and one's communications skills are basic tools that are not only essential for personality development and maximising potential but they also support self-management.
Success will come to anyone who has the courage to invest in themselves or in the company they work for. Success will come to anyone who works together with a coach to set clearly defined goals and to map out how these are going to be achieved. Success will come to anyone who is prepared to assume new perspectives.
The decision is yours. With my know-how I will be with you every step of the way until you reach your goal! | {

So now we have now the investor (the taxpayer), the supplier (the federal government and the varsity programs), the paid direct service suppliers and employees (lecturers), and the consumer (college students). It is fairly clear what everybody receives from this change, aside from the taxpayer. I might submit to you that, even if the taxpayer didn't benefit by not having children who attended the native college district, they, their kids and their grandchildren will in the end profit when those college students who graduate ultimately begin to contribute to society within the type of economic exercise. Not to point out that those students will finally grow to be taxpayers and help to perpetuate the aforementioned cycle over again. If that is not an business, I am undecided what's.
The teaching of so-referred to as different" sexual life is remitted by the Department of Education underneath Widespread Core. Dad and mom should keep in mind that if they don't invest in their kids who are around them, such youngsters won't have peace. Mother and father also needs to lead a godly life so as to guide their children aright. No little one grows right beneath baneful influences at home since no straight wooden can come out of the crooked timber. | {

The preference to have at least one son is related to the desire to have an heir, and so provide continuity from father to son. Women often do not change their names upon marriage. Cultural Communities and Change, pp. Built for Khufu or Cheops, in Greekwho ruled from to B. This festival is celebrated nationwide in practically all regions and by all social classes.
Grain, particularly wheat, was a staple crop of life in ancient Egypt. Gift of the Egypt Exploration Fund, Women had rights in marriage, such as the ability to divorce and remarry or even inherit property.
The main national associations are the professional syndicates for doctors, lawyers, teachers, agricultural officials, and others. Members of the younger generation are expected to show signs of respect and not to challenge their seniors and must use the special terms of address for aunts, uncles, and grandparents, as well as for older nonrelatives.
Depictions of such cloaks extend from Archaic to Ptolemaic times. Egypt is a "dominant party" system in which one party regularly controls an enormous majority in Parliament. Bibliography Abu Lughod, Lila. Film production is at once an art, an industry, and a trade. This seems evident from trends seen in tomb scenes where the costumes and styles of the upper classes were soon copied by the lower classes.
Young girls assisted their mothers with household tasks or worked with them in some capacity in the fields. It is a major event in the lives of all involved. There was also Re, the sun god, later conjoined with Amen, and still later Aten. Texts indicate that the groom often gave the bride's family a gift, and he also gave his wife presents.
Restaurants are widespread all over the country. On one side of the base he appears with his daughters, on the other with his sons, an indication that he revered his daughters as much as his sons which in turn reflects the high status of women in ancient Egypt.
Newer apartments, however, are not under rent control, and rents are much higher. Not only was the river the primary source for drinking water, but it also had the ability to produce the extremely fertile soil that the Egyptians needed for survival.
Other symbols derive from the country's Islamic heritage. Akhenaton's interest in religious reform proved disastrous in the long run. There is also an extensive network of banks and a major construction industry.
Other religious holidays include Moulid an-Nabi, commemorating the birth of the prophet Muhammad, which is especially important for sufis; and Islamic New Year, the first day of the month of Moharram.
Female internal anatomy was understood even less well. Embracing is also common as a form of greeting, usually among members of the same sex. In other words, a person cannot will this one-third to one son at the expense of another, but could will it to a charity or a nonrelative.
Very roughly, old Cairo is the medieval part, the heart of popular Cairo, and also where the Islamic and Coptic monuments are. At first, only pharaohs were thought to achieve eternal life, however, nobles were eventually included, and finally all Egyptians could hope for immortality.
Wines in ancient Egypt, like wines today, were recognized by their vintage, often identified by the name of the village, town, district, or general geographic region where it was produced. The Middle Kingdom disintegrated in the Thirteenth Dynasty with the resurgence of the power of the nomarchs.
Relatively few women are elected to Parliament, though there are always some. Persian rulers such as Darius B. It is difficult to speculate about the taste of Egyptian wine compared to modern standards.
These local councils work in tandem with local representatives of the different ministries such as interior, health, or agriculture to carry out their tasks. Women working in the informal sector are often paid less than men. The indigenous cuisine relies heavily on legumes.
Both senet and twenty squares were played by two opponents. Conflict eventually flared between the two groups, and the Thebans launched a war against the Hyksos around B. In modern times, the presence of both Muslims and Christians has impeded the drive to define Egypt as a Muslim country and thus at least indirectly has favored secularism.
Water sports played a significant role in Egyptian entertainment as the Nile River was such a major aspect of their daily lives. The sport of water- jousting, in which two small boats, each with one or two rowers and one jouster, fought each other, seems to have been very popular.
The whole of one's life was open for exploration during a festival, and this included sexual activity, drunkenness, prayer, blessings for one's sex life, for one's family, for one's health, and offerings made both in gratitude and thanksgiving and in supplication.
In such a world, government was merely one aspect of religion and religion dominated Egyptian life. The gods of Egypt came in many forms: animals, humans and natural forces.
Over time, Re, the sun god, came to assume a dominant place in Egyptian religion. Egyptian music is a rich mixture of indigenous Egyptian and Western influences. As early as BC, ancient Egyptians were playing harps and flutes, as well as two indigenous instruments: the ney and the oud.

Question: When the conversations about re-writing the Rule began, did you name certain assumptions that would inform the discussions, or were things more free form?
Br. Curtis Almquist: The discussions were amazingly wide-ranging, but we knew that ultimately we were looking for boundaries. I would say that all of those discussions—some of which were incredibly awkward and difficult—were grounded in the knowledge that freedom comes with limitation. At some point, we knew we would have to draw lines, and that that was a good thing.
Believe it or not, that very "trivia" question was on my mind as I drifted off to sleep last night, and I reached the same conclusion, for the same reasons.
In terms of the preposition… I've often wondered what the implications are of treating each Sunday as a feast of the Resurrection. Does this mean that we should include the Gloria and the Alleluias in each Sunday liturgy, even in Lent? Or, if each Sunday is a feast of the Resurrection, is the implication that there are different ways of 'feasting' the Resurrection?
I know that personally, I very much enjoy these Sundays being 'tinted' in Lent; however, I also very much enjoy the break in the solemnity of Lent that's offered by Sundays. I find this season to be a deeply moving season in the church, but I'm constantly reminded that it's not my own strength that gets me through it. The joy and the relief that are given birth with Sundays makes that all the more clear from week to week; and the fact that this time is constrained or limited to Sundays makes it all the more real from week to week. | {

I have a guitar cable with angled plug on one end and straight on the other. My Boss DS1 pedal will only work with the angled one in the pedal and the straight into the guitar. The cable works both ways when it goes directly from guitar to amp. Is that normal?
Is one of the plugs TRS?
Good question! I will have a look - dunno why I didn't already.
Our quarter inch plus and jacks have a basic standard shape, but they vary a little. From time to time it happens that the exact shape of a particular plug and the exact shape of a jack don't quite agree, even though they work everywhere else.
I had a run of molded plugs on Fender Hot Rod DeVilles speaker leads that were somehow just ever so slightly undersized and did not reliably push the shunt contact aside, so the speaker would cut out now and then. A gentle reform of the contact (fancy word for bend it) and it works.
Yes the plug that won't work is TRS and it's the same with my other pedals. Explain?
Not much to explain. One plug might be ever so slightly narrower, or the tip contour ever so slightly more or less bulbous than the average plugs. Normally that won't matter. But then your jack winds up also maybe ever so slightly wider in the hole, or the metal contact is slightly twisted. Again, normally these variations work anyway. But SOMETIMES the variations in an individual plug and individual jack combine to the point it doesn't quite work 100% of the time.
In a lot of pedals, the input is a stereo jack that has the (-) lead from the battery or adapter on the R lug, so that when you plug in a TS, it shorts to ground and you have power. Your cable's TRS end obviously doesn't have any wire connected to the R lug, so the power never makes contact in the pedal. Sounds like the cable is a home-build? If so, simply open up the TRS plug and solder a wire from R to S.
Sorry, I misread the question.
prefer angled plug but works fine the other way. I was just about to open up pedals thinking thet were dead. | {

Researchers of the laboratory "Medical ultrasound equipment" of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) developed a high-tech device-transformer for ultrasound examination, named "Ultrasound mobile". The new equipment is the combination of three modifications in one device.
Currently, each modification functions separately in the medical centers, the scientists of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University became the first who combined it into a single hardware complex. Thus instead of two types of vehicles (stationary and portable), medical institutions can use single equipment for different purposes and in different wards. For example, in the inpatient hospitals, doctors will be able to do a high-precision study using the full configuration of the equipment. At the same time in the admission hospital ward or emergency room, where the speed of decisions is important, the mobile version of the equipment will be useful. In addition, the handset will be irreplaceable for doctors who make house calls.
The image quality obtained by "Ultrasound mobile" depends on the number of physical channels which simultaneously receive information and create the image. Increasing the number of channels, the quality of the obtained image is getting higher. In the device developed by the scientists of Polytechnic University, depending on the modification, the number of channels varies from 48 to 192, providing a high image quality.
"The device-transformer is 80% ready: its developed ultrasonic essence should be inserted in the finished device. We have already conveyed our vision of the medical equipment to the industrial partner, who should produce the final version of the equipment, "- said Alexander Berkovich, head of the laboratory" Medical ultrasound equipment" SPbPU. The industrial partner of the project is JSC "Northern Press". The project documentation will be provided to the industrial enterprise, so the serial production of the device will start.
The device-transformer "Ultrasound mobile" will be implemented in medical institutions in Russia in 2019. | {

Wow…. like that corner table with the table lamp and the way it is arranged.
I hope your daughter's delivery goes smoothly be it tmr or sooner or later! 🙂 Im sure you are all waiting with happy anticipation!
What a loving commitment you and your husband have been part of last few weeks with the long drives and busy schedules. I'm sure it meant so much to John's aunt during her last days.
Oh and you're quite an interior designer – your foyer looks like it belongs in a magazine!
Your home always looks so beautiful, thank you for sharing.
Lorraine, I miss you! I have been praying for you in your many roles. You must feel pulled in them all. Just wanted you to know today.
Your foyer looks beautiful. You have such a sense of style. Sorry to read of the hospitalization but hopefully the new baby has arrived by now. Yes, life gets busy with many ups and downs. Thinking of you Lorraine.
Your foyer looks lovely. It is fallish with such a pretty coloring. Very elegant. I'm sorry for your loss. How exiting that you will have a new baby in your life. Life is bittersweet, isn't it?
I like how the green color coordinates in the apples and the flowers. Sorry to hear about the death and joyful to hear about the birth; the full cycle of life.
Your foyer looks lovely and elegant. A lot is happening in your life – remember to breathe!
That is just so elegant!
Sorry on your loss and blessings on the new grand child. Life does have full circles.
Your foyer looks absolutely gorgeous..both at night and in the morning!
The foyer is so inviting. I love what you did.
Very lovely indeed and yes, life can get so full and we hardly have time to catch our breath. Blessings to you during this "full time."
Really like what you've done and all the green. Sorry about the aunt, the cycles of life right in front of you … one leaves this earth as another arrives. So beautiful.
Forgot to ad you and John are in my prayers, saying "good-bye" and "hello" can be both challenging and some of our most cherished memories.
I am so sorry for the passing of your loved one but rejoicing with you at the upcoming birth of another grandchild.
The foyer looks lovely. I love changing furniture around for a fresh new look.
My condolences to you and John on the loss of his aunt.
Oh- A funeral and a birth…the going out and the coming in as planned by God. Grief and blessings all part of our life plan.
I love your foyer and I did see Raider soaking up the sunshine!
It looks very elegant and very beautiful!
Everyone of us in the blogging world would love to just "pull some things from our home", put them together in our foyers, and have them look that good! I like that look and think it is a lovely sight to greet friends and family. It says, "welcome" .
So sorry to hear the news about John's aunt. You both have so much on your plate right now. Praying for you as you go through each day.
How beautiful, I love the wreath in the mirror! I'm sorry for your loss too, it's always such a hard thing to go thru, no matter how old our loved ones are. Blessings to you and your hubby.
The rearrangement looks great. So sorry for your loss, but happy for the new addition. It reminds me of Job 1:21 about how the Lord takes away and He gives (except the verse is just the opposite). No matter what….blessed be the name of the Lord!!! Prayers for you and your family! | {

LinkedIn Adds Product Marketing and Lead Generation to Pages
LinkedIn announces new capabilities for businesses looking to create social media buzz and community around individual products and initiate lead generation, too.
By Oliver Rist
Oliver Rist
I've covered business technology for more than 25 years, and in that time I've reviewed hundreds of products and services and written a similar number of trend and analysis stories. My first job in journalism was with PC Magazine in the 1990s, but I've also written for other enterprise technology publications, including Computer Shopper, InformationWeek, InfoWorld, and InternetWeek.
https://www.pcmag.com/news/linkedin-adds-product-marketing-and-lead-generation-to-pages
Ever since Microsoft purchased LinkedIn for a hefty $26.2 billion in 2016, the online giant has been steadily working to break free of its type casting as just a job search community, and instead evolve into a social media tool users can point at more aspects of their business. It's released new features intended to move it towards this goal, including new content and storytelling tools for digital marketers, as well as the re-branded Pages platform last year.
Today, LinkedIn announced a further enhancement to Pages intended to let users build a social media presence and community around not just their companies, but also individual products or services. The new feature is called the LinkedIn Product Pages and will take the form of a new tab on your company's Page, appropriately titled Products.
A Product Conversation
Once Page administrators fill out the information in the new tab and have it vetted by LinkedIn, the new view will become available to LinkedIn Pages visitors. Here, they'll find specific information about your company's individual products and services. From the company's side, this can include marketing and sales spotlights, as well as testimonials and reviews from users. From the visitors side, they'll see LinkedIn members from inside their own networks who have connections to both the Pages company as well as specific products under that umbrella.
"We see Products as the next horizon for Pages," says Dacheng Zhao, Principal Product Manager for LinkedIn Pages. "How do we foster community around not just Pages customers, but what those customers sell so they can use LinkedIn to actually grow their business? That's Products." He likened the new feature to a digital storefront with which LinkedIn intends its users to drive "direct business outcomes."
"Say you're thinking about buying into Microsoft Azure SQL Server," explains Zhao. "By visiting the Product Page, you'll see detailed information about it from Microsoft as well as who in your network has expertise in Azure SQL Server so you can start a conversation about it right there."
Call to Action for Lead Generation
All this will serve to create conversations around a business' products in addition to the business itself, but LinkedIn is taking this one step further. The company is also including a custom call-to- action (CTA) capability that will let Pages owners ask visitors for lead information (name, email, phone, and the like) right off the page, or take them to an entirely different site away from LinkedIn to enable different kinds of actions. The company feels this is the first step in taking it beyond social media marketing and into an active lead management tool.
"You can add links to take visitors from your company's LinkedIn Page to an off-LinkedIn CTA site right now," says LinkedIn's Sr. Director of Product Management for Pages, Rishi Jobanputra. "But we felt it important to add a directly accessible and customizable CTA capability to Product Pages because our data tells us users see a very steep attrition rate when they move visitors to another site."
LinkedIn Launches Tools Aimed at Pandemic Job Seekers
LinkedIn Is the Latest Social Network to Give Stories a Try
LinkedIn Adds Audio Recording Option to Help With Name Pronunciation
Asked whether Pages will evolve beyond lead generation and into other aspects of closing a sale, Jobanputra replied, "We intend to keep evolving this capability in the future with an eye towards closing the full business loop." Depending on the features LinkedIn intends to include, this might mean a future where the social property feeds leads directly into your customer relationship management (CRM) tool or can even act as the CRM tool itself.
The new Products tab is currently still in broad final phase testing, but Zhao says the company is aiming for a full release by mid-January 2021.

IDW Media Holding's publishing division posted another big loss in its fiscal third quarter ended July 31, helping to pull over-all results for the company negative in another down quarter. The publishing division showed a loss of $801,000 in the quarter, an improvement from the $1.1 million loss in the same quarter a year ago, according to the company's quarterly report. This continues a string of bad quarters for the division (see "IDW Publishing Sales Continue Declines").
"An improvement"? I'm sorry, but that's putting it lightly. An $800,000-plus loss is still pretty close to what they'd lost before, and it's unlikely they'll recover. It doesn't look like Marvel's licensing deal for all-ages titles is availing either. If nobody's buying, the arrangement was pointless.
I don't know what their game division's offerings are like, but it's clear they didn't handle their comics well, and let's remember a lot of their offerings were based on licensed merchandise like GI Joe and Transformers, the latter which may have ceased publication at their company this month. And last year proved to be a very hard hitter as they were rocked with the Aubrey Sitterson scandal. So what does ICV2 mean by a sales increase, when it's only their games division that might've worked out? The comics certainly haven't.
After ComicsGate targeted me, I had my book buried & canceled and couldn't get interest from any other publishers. It really did a number on me for a long time.
He still won't take accountability for alienating GI Joe fans, including army veterans, with his offensive comments about 9-11, and still wants to blame Comicsgate instead of his own conduct. (I'm sure he won't admit the SJW tactics he put into his catastrophous scripts that were published also sank the Joe series he wrote, but that's another story.) For all we know, he may have singlehandedly cost IDW much of their sales, but he still won't apologize, so he can't be surprised if nobody cares about his new wrestling history project.
It's too bad this all had to happen, of course, because, as I may have once noted, I did think there were some decent products they'd put out, but now, it looks like that's all changed in a fortnight, and the sudden swerve towards injecting SJW tactics in books like Jem & the Holograms also had a devastating effect on their receipts. So, if they're bound to go under soon, it's probably for the best. We have only to hope future companies that may deal in adapting licensed merchandise will learn from their mistakes, including the companies in charge of the licensing themselves.
The delays they kept making didn't help matters. | {

Stunning new Map of Cape Clear Islandnow available in 'Wings' Magazine
Aficionados of Cape Clear and especially those with interests in wildlife and ornithology will be delighted with the spring edition of 'Wings', the official magazine of Birdwatch Ireland which boasts a special feature on Cape Clear Island. Penned by resident warden Steve Wing, the three page spread provides a stunning map of the Island with accompanying commentary on the most popular bird watching spots interspersed with superb photos. It reminds us that during late April and May the Island is one of the best places in Ireland to witness spring migration. Appropriately sub titled "your two-day spring itinerary" it provides all necessary guidance for a few days bird watching on the Island. Some of the areas included are also prime spots for whale and dolphin watching, with species such a Common Dolphins, Porpoises, Minke Whales and Basking Sharks amongst others regularly seen. Having had a hand myself in various maps of Cape Clear over the years I can say with some authority that this particular one is one of the best and most attractive yet produced for its clarity and presentation and would be useful for anyone interested in walking on the Island as it also includes the red and green walking trails developed in recent years. Elsewhere in the magazine details are given of the range of weekend and week-long residential bird watching and ecological courses proposed for 2012 from €95. 'Wings' is available to members of Birdwatch Ireland which is €40 p.a. for adults. More information available at www.birdwatchireland.ie. Séamus Ó Drisceoil, Cape Clear Island.

After looking at a few blogs*, I realized several of the trends I spotted were actually elements of the "folklore" look that's been popular in Japan for a few years. Here in America, we may think of it as a country prairie style. It generally involves small floral prints, fringe, table cloth lace, shearling trim and furry vests.
Knee Socks As a nation with a solid appreciation for the value of the uniform, it shouldn't come as a surprise that knee socks were everywhere. They ranged from regular to slouchy to sheer. I saw sock shops everywhere, but waited to stock up until my last day...when I couldn't find a sock shop.
Excess Rhinestones on belts, on shoes, on bags, on phones, on earrings, on hair bows, on eyelashes. There is nothing in Japan that can't be further blinged. Fur is its own best accessory so pair fur boots with a fur trimmed vest and fur bag. And just because you're wearing two necklaces doesn't mean you shouldn't wear four bracelets and three rings. There's no such thing as too much makeup as "too much" can only make you look more doll like.
The Eyes Have It While street style blogs feature plenty of girls with bold lips, most of the women I saw stuck with mauve, brown or a simple gloss. The eyes were where the show was as. Not only did many women wear long false eyelashes, but they also seemed to favor bright swipes of liner.
Berets Hats are very popular in Japan with the beret ranking at the top. Pair them with thick bangs and long lashes for maximum wow.
Mid-heel Shoes While shopping for clothes was a wee bit difficult, I happen to have fabulously Japanese-sized feet. This was thrilling because not only are the shoes extra cute, but they tended to have heels around two inches. Can we bring the rebellion against four inch monsters State-side?
Layering Prints I can't even describe the awesomeness of the print mixing. While we were prepping for our trip, we watched a few documentaries about Japanese history. I noticed lots of wonderful print layering in the old art featured, so I think I may just have to communicate it in an upcoming Polyvore post.
*Tokyo Fashion, where I pulled the street shots for my collages, is especially great for those of us who don't speak a lick of Japanese.
I LOVE all of these trends. I think I would fit in so well in Japan.

What Happened With Raj Nair's Departure From Ford?
Stef Schrader
Filed to: FordFiled to: Ford

Ford's North American president Raj Nair was ousted last week for unspecified "inappropriate behavior," yet no one at Ford or elsewhere has named any specifics on the record as to what that was. It was a major unplanned departure for one of Ford's most senior people, and something that stunned the whole auto industry. So, what happened?
Raj Nair, Ford's North America President, Is Out Over Alleged 'Inappropriate Behavior' (UPDATED)
Raj Nair, Ford's North America president and one of its top executives, will depart the company…
Nair's ouster was prompted by an anonymous complaint which was then investigated by the company, and as a result, he admitted to an unspecified wrongdoing. A Ford representative contacted by Jalopnik would not divulge any particulars about what kind of inappropriate behavior led to Nair's dismissal.
However, it's worth noting that Nair's own statement in Ford's release on the matter mentions "leadership behaviors" that weren't okay:
I sincerely regret that there have been instances where I have not exhibited leadership behaviors consistent with the principles that the Company and I have always espoused. I continue to have the utmost faith in the people of Ford Motor Company and wish them continued success in the future.
This suggests—although we can't confirm it at this time with Ford—that whatever happened may also involve someone who worked for Nair in some capacity. Ford has declined to comment further.
We also know that the behavior was reported anonymously through a 24-hour company hotline, according to a Ford spokesman who spoke with Automotive News. Hotlines for work-related issues are a common feature at many large companies, and are one way to report problems anonymously, with less fear of retribution. This call sparked an investigation into incidents involving Nair, and the results of that investigation led to Nair's removal.
The timing of Nair's dismissal comes amid a host of resignations or firings across multiple industries due to revelations of sexual misconduct. Ford has been no exception. A New York Times investigation in December into the frequent sexual harassment at Ford's Chicago plants prompted Ford CEO Jim Hackett to send a letter telling employees, "There is absolutely no room for harassment at Ford" and that there would be "zero tolerance" for like incidents in the future.
At the same time, I hestitate to bring up Nair's firing in the same conversation because there's so little that we do know about it. We don't know who was affected, what the nature of the incidents involving Nair were, or if the person who brought it to Ford's attention was even female or part of any other class of workers who is more frequently subject to unwelcome behavior. So far, no one will clarify it, either. After all, sexual misconduct isn't the only kind of misbehavior that can lead to a powerful man's ouster. One of the most popular automotive TV personalities on the planet was fired for punching a crewmember in the face about a dinner he didn't like. And lest we forget the giant game of musical chairs that has gone down at Volkswagen in light of the Dieselgate scandal. The vague term "inappropriate behavior" could be almost anything.
This is why we're seeking clarification: Has the #MeToo movement finally hit the automotive industry's highest levels, or did something else happen behind the scenes at Ford?
If you have any more details about Nair's ouster that you'd like to clarify for us, our line is always open: [email protected]. You can also find how to contact us confidentially through SecureDrop here.

Michel Fleury, né le à Paris et mort le dans la même ville, est un historien, archéologue et archiviste français. Il dirigea de nombreuses recherches sur Paris. Il est inhumé dans le cimetière de l'église Saint-Germain de Loisé, à Mortagne-au-Perche.
Parcours professionnel
Après ses études à l'École nationale des chartes, il devient l'adjoint du conservateur aux Archives de la Seine. Puis, il intégra en même temps la Commission du Vieux Paris, les antiquités d'Île-de-France et l'École pratique des hautes études.
De 1955 à 2001, il est membre de la Commission du Vieux Paris. Il est tout d'abord secrétaire de la commission. De 1975 à 2001, il est vice-président de la commission.
Parallèlement, dès 1955, il s'occupe des fouilles archéologiques à Paris et sites environnants. En 1955, il est nommé inspecteur des fouilles archéologiques de la Ville de Paris. Puis, de 1965 à 1983, il est directeur régional des antiquités d'Île-de-France. Étant en désaccord avec le ministère de la Culture, dirigé par Jack Lang, sur les fouilles à mener dans la Cour carrée du Louvre, il doit quitter sa fonction de directeur, par le ministre.
Enfin, il enseigne à l'École pratique des hautes études, la section (sciences historiques et philologiques). En 1958, il est élu directeur d'études à l'ÉPHE, titulaire de la chaire d'histoire de Paris, succédant ainsi à Marcel Poëte (1866-1950) et à Élie Debidour. En 1961, il est choisi pour devenir le secrétaire de la section. De 1974 à 1988, il préside la section, ainsi que l'École pratique des hautes études entre 1980 et 1983.
Publications
Michel Fleury est l'auteur de plus de 300 fiches descriptives sur les fouilles effectuées à Paris. Il est aussi l'auteur de plusieurs ouvrages :
Paris, croissance d'une capitale du Bas-Empire au début du siècle, 1961.
Paris monumental, Paris, Flammarion, 1974, (en collaboration avec Alain Erlande-Brandenburg et Jean-Pierre Babelon).
Avec Albert France-Lanord, Les Trésors mérovingiens de la basilique de Saint-Denis, Nancy, 1988.
Avec Venceslas Kruta, Le Château du Louvre, Paris, 1991.
Si le roi m'avait donné Paris sa grand'ville, Paris, 1994.
Activités
En 1957, il débute sa première campagne de fouille à la basilique Saint-Denis. Il découvre, notamment, le sarcophage de la reine Arégonde. La sépulture de l'épouse du roi mérovingien Clotaire I contenait ses vêtements et son anneau nominatif.
De 1965 à 1967, il supervise les fouilles du parvis de la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris, en remettant au jour la cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Paris. Ainsi, ces recherches archéologiques permirent de mettre au jour des vestiges gallo-romains, qui sont conservés dans la crypte archéologique de l'île de la Cité.
De 1978 à 1983, il supervise le chantier de la Cour carrée du Louvre. Mené en collaboration avec Venceslas Kruta, le chantier a permis de dégager l'impressionnant donjon de Philippe-Auguste. Ce chantier de fouille fut partie prenante dans les travaux de rénovation du musée du Louvre. Par ailleurs, il découvre le casque du roi Charles VI de France.

Contact Rebecca at Cat People of Melbourne to express your interest.
Cleo was someone's pet once, but they didn't look after her and she ended up on a shed on a country property with three kittens, lost and starving. She was rescued and is one of the nicest cats we've ever had in care.
Cleo is a small, black cat with a short tail. She is cute as a button and loves to play. You will often find her playing with her mousie, going nuts for catnip, or sleeping in her cave.
She is old enough to be a quiet companion but young enough to enjoy playing.
Her fur is extremely fine and soft and will need the occasional brushing, to avoid too much shedding. Fortunately, she adores being brushed. She is also very quiet and loves to cuddle.
Vacuum cleaners don't scare her at all. Super affectionate and very into people, you could not find a better family cat.
Cleo has had all her vet work apart from her second vaccination (which can be included for an extra $30 from one of our vets). She is ready for adoption right now!
Please note: Cleo is not dog friendly... but great with other cats and loves people. | {

This dissertation examines the appointment of designated directors on boards of directors. Designated director appointments are uncontested board appointments by activist investors, whereby normal nominating and voting election procedures are circumvented. Instances such as these, where directors are appointed rather than elected, are a form of shareholder access to the proxy. In this dissertation, new evidence is provided that is relevant to the proxy access debate by investigating the hypothesis that firms with appointed designated directors have different firm and governance characteristics than firms with elected directors. In particular, the following questions are asked: what are the shareholder wealth effects surrounding the announcement of (i) a designated director on a board, (ii) the appointment of a new designated director to a board, and (iii) a designated director continuing service on the board? Also, what firm and governance characteristics lead to the appointment of a designated director on the board? The answers to these questions can help determine whether firms with better corporate governance structures are more likely to have designated directors appointed to their boards because they are serving all shareholders' interests, or whether firms with worse corporate governance are less likely to have designated directors appointed because of the board of directors' insulation.

Home Culture Cinema Is Bollywood Selling Islamophobia By Objectifying Muslim Characters?
Is Bollywood Selling Islamophobia By Objectifying Muslim Characters?
Indian cinema has witnessed various eras of themes from romantics to action to thriller but one of the absurd themes that have become favourite for Bollywood is Islamophobia. Yes, Indian film industry is selling Islamophobia and the crew is increasing day by day. Kohl-ed eyes, devilish gaze, kurta, meat eating style and aggressively dancing are some of the standards these films have set for Muslim characters. Over the decades, different templates and stereotypes where set from a 'terrorist' or a 'jihadi' to now an ancient devilish ruler mostly a Mughal emperor. The changes undoubtedly differ from the social, political atmosphere of the country.

Nandita Das, actor and film maker says in an article, "Mainstream cinema shows different portrayals of Muslims, based on popular perceptions of the community. Over the years, Islamophobia and the marginalisation of Muslims have impacted producers' and directors' choices in excluding and representing Muslim characters."
Indian Cinema And Politics
The mood of Indian cinema has always been synonymous with the political atmosphere of the country. Over the past few years, there has been a commercialisation of nationalism marketed through advertisements, films, TV shows etc, and therefore consequent blatant Islamophobia. However, in the post-Independence period, in 1960s, movies like Amar Akbar Anthony echoed national and secular ethos of the country.

Then, there were films on the lines of communal riots and bomb blasts like Phantom, Anwar, and Firaaq. Currently, there has been a trend of historical films that portray an idea of taking pride in a glorious past or the current present. And many times the enemy is carved out from the Muslims and the protagonist through Hindus. The twisting of history and negative personification of every Muslim ruler or mostly Mughals and pushing a certain kind of Hindu-Muslim narrative is what many within the industry have called out.
How Islamophobia Is Personified In Film Production?
Filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan points out in The Quint's Film and Politics Roundtable about how Islamophobia is personified in films. "You look at the colour palette, or how the production design is done, while portraying Muslims. It's mostly blacks, it's mostly dimly lit, and it's shot at low level to have a demonising effect. But as you show the other side, it's all flowery and bright lights and shot at an eye level."
For instance, Tanhaji pushes an Islamophobic idea of fight against 'swaraj' and freedom of Hindustan which is technically not possible in 1600s. There is a sense that the battle was fought on religious lines. But was it so? A simple Google search will tell us that, 'The battle of Kondhana was fought between Tanhaji Malusare, commander of Maratha Empire and Udaybhan Singh Rathore, a Rajput fort keeper under Jai Singh.' The semiotics of poster can be seen again with colour contrast of sun vs. darkness.

The devil, kohl-eyed lustful man who dances with use of black theme and colour palette as if sun never rises in their side while the white side having bright, bloomy days full of pride and no one can do any wrong in the land. The use of semiotics to present a kind of narrative is what is trending.
The biggest hit of Bollywood in 2018, Padmavat, which had faced much fire for different reasons altogether, portrays luscious, Muslim ruler totally drowned in his pride and evil plans, that sees women with most lustful eyes, oppresses his wife and chomps chunk of meat from his teeth. This representation and pushing of a certain narrative of Islamophobia by showing how cruel the evil and enemy Muslim rulers were, paints a certain Islamophobic picture and echoes for stereotyping and further marginalisation of Muslims today.
The recently released film Tanhaji has traces of this pattern where the enemy and the hero have what Meghnad Bose in a The Quint article calls, "Black and white personification of characters." The devil, kohl-eyed lustful man who dances with use of black theme and colour palette as if the sun never rises in their side while the white side having bright, bloomy days full of pride and no one can do any wrong in the land. The use of semiotics to present a kind of narrative is what is trending. The twisting of history to suit the narrative that you want to put forward again crystallises in the minds of viewers and create a sense of 'us' vs 'them' in daily lives as well. As righty said, Raazi portrays a dignified and clear story without a narrative of a villain or a hero but it is clear who is the enemy. The husband, Vicky Kaushal, a Pakistani officer does not fit into the evil, devilish, kohl-eyed maniac trend of portraying a Muslim man.
Why Does Bollywood's Representation Matter?
There is absolutely no doubt about how media and films reinforce stereotypes and shape our gaze about a particular community. It is also very evident how the representation gets crystallised in popular culture. This 'othering' and bad portrayal again creates a sense of "we" and "they" in society resonating Islamophobia which has real consequences.

Even in 2020, we are still waiting Bollywood to be free from slavery of money, selling what is 'bought' by the vast population of viewers like objectification of women, casteism, Islamophobia, among others. Bollywood needs to rise up and be more responsible in coming years.

Illogical article. While some bits of details regarding history can be disputed, fact remains that mughals are invaders from outside hindu bharatvarsha. They are mainly cruel liers who pillage, loot, forcibly convert as their gazwa-e-hind agenda continues, descendants of converts unfortunately choose that agenda instead of accepting their hindu heritage. SHAME!
Well, it's actually pretty confusing tbh, Because some people say that Bollywood is hinduphobic while the others say that it's islamophobic.
Well, in many instances, Bollywood has also portrayed Hindus as conservative, saffron clad fogeys, who beat women and strongly uphold the principles of the caste system
Well, that depends on the person's affinity to faith. However, I find this kind of portrayal wrong on my part, both for Hindus and muslims.
Akshay April 14, 2020 At 4:59 PM
Completely useless article. All the so called "islamophobic" films you mentioned are historical. Means they are based on facts and real people. On the other hand, the hinduphobic films are either fictional or deliberately set in dystopian future. A religious hindu doing puja, applying tika on his head is always depicted as conservative and fanatic.
Sebhai July 5, 2020 At 2:32 AM
Based on facts. Sorry but Khilji is far from the sultan with Khal Drogo like potrayal of Ranveer Singh
Kris July 16, 2020 At 10:21 PM
My god extremely biased active viewed from a franitical prism. There are lots of Bollywood films which are hinduphobic like pk,etc..
And the new web series like pataal lok, leila, sacred games all of these also are hinduphobic
Jay August 3, 2020 At 6:39 AM
Well…how things look depends on what coloured googles we wear….earlier movie makers had a burden of secularism due prevalent political philosophy…current films do not have…its okay to have Muslim character from History as a villain today…and as a rule of masala movie …villain should be shown detestable..
So he behaves rude…eats obnoxious food…etc.
Cause audience in India still wants it Black/white….hero as white and villain as Black….shades of grey are still unacceptable…or not entertaining….a villain can have some good qualities too…but still a villain overall…is unacceptable to audiences….same for Hero…he has to be role model….complete white…
film makers are there for money…they will make movies which will fetch money…

Étienne-François Geoffroy, also called Geoffroy L'aîné, orGeoffroy The Elder, (born Feb. 13, 1672, Paris, Fr.—died Jan. 6, 1731, Paris), French chemist, the first chemist to speak of affinity in terms of fixed attractions between different bodies.
Assuming that one acid displaces another acid of weaker affinity for a specific base in the salt of that base, Geoffroy composed tables (1718) listing the relative affinities of different reagents for particular substances. Geoffroy's tables remained an authoritative reference throughout most of the 18th century, until they were invalidated by Claude-Louis Berthollet's demonstration that the thoroughness of chemical reactions depends upon the relative quantities of the starting materials and the physical conditions pertaining during the reaction.
Science: Fact or Fiction?
Geoffroy was professor of chemistry at the Jardin du Roi, Paris, and of pharmacy and medicine at the Collège de France, Paris (1712–31). He considered the quest for the philosopher's stone (a substance capable of transforming base metals into gold) a delusion, but he believed that iron could be formed during the combustion of vegetable matter. His works included Tractatus de Materia Medica (1699; "Treatise on Pharmacology"). | {

To be fair though 1990's C++ written in the recommended way is almost a completely different language to 2018 C++.
The change isn't as marked as say perl5 and perl6 but it is still huge.
I've no dog in either fight though, I moved to managed languages a long time ago (Object Pascal was the last compiled language I used in anger).
True, but many of the "modern C++" stuff like RAII, type safe strings, arrays, collections were already possible in C++ compilers for MS-DOS for example, it was a matter of actually using them.
Not sure which managed languages you mean, those that I use also provide the option to compile to native code just like Object Pascal, if I wish to do so. | {

Previously, we have trained a really simple model that was predicting income level between "<= 50K" and "> 50K". It was a very simple classification problem for which we could use Sklearn-porter to generate Ruby code based on the trained model. This time I decided to pick a more complicated dataset for regression problem. To complicate the project a little bit more and make it look more like "real-life", we implement Sklearn's pipeline that will transform the data into the shape expected by an estimator. Let's implement PalmSpringsBnB that is able to suggest a list of prices based on information about the property.

Software Development is one of the most interesting things to learn and implement, especially in the current generation. Learning to become a programmer is not a big deal, but building up the coder inside you takes a little time. This is what exactly the software developers at Saketh IT do; provide you with the best in class software products as per your company needs.
Software application development doesn't deal with just programming but also requires algorithm designing and finding out what type of programming would be both effective and easy on the user's system.
These are just a few things. There is no end when it comes to custom software application development services and the field expands to various routes. These routes include Web Development, PC Development, Mobile Applications and what not. You can get rely on us for any such kind of requirements.
Let's get to our list of basics, Logical Design deals with application logic that helps you to understand how conditional in programming work. Computer Architecture helps to understand the basics of how the chipsets in a system work. This is important no matter which path you take. Learning about the architecture of the device helps you to understand how the program you are writing will affect the hardware and is necessary for anyone trying to learn Software Application Development.
Networking Basics: As you might have already realized that a lot of applications today are built on the web and understanding how the data packets are transferred over the network will help you understand future things like Information Security which works your head to think like a Hacker.
There is one other problem, this is really time taking and requires a lot of practice. There are various projects that you could use for the practice. The best thing would be to mimic already existing projects and work your way to becoming good at certain concepts.
An example, I learned Python by mimicking a lot of projects from GitHub and various other open source project sources. Finally, just practice as much as you can. | {
