"The idea is just to get the word out that this is a scam," Michener said. "Getting a robocall like this and my first reaction was that if they're calling me then this is about as bogus as it gets. They are just calling every phone number in the book."
An online search of the phone number returned numerous consumer complaints.
"Same as all the others," a respondent said. "They called twice warning about financial crimes and threatening to activate an arrest warrant if I didn't call back. Pretty despicable."
The Durham County Sheriff's Office had not received complaints about this scam, according to their spokeswoman. No information was available from Durham police.
The sheriff's office previously has sent out advisories when phone scams were making the rounds.
Not all robocalls are scams, though.
Most of the robocalls Michener receives are related to credit offers, she said.
"At least once a week, if not twice," Michener said. "It makes you worry about your credit being disturbed. Ninety percent of the time that's what it's about."
Authorities say phone scammers often resurface under different names and phone numbers.
Durham County residents are encouraged to contact the Durham County Sheriff's Office at 919-560-0900 if they receive a suspicious phone call. The public can also submit anonymous tips at [email protected].

WHAT TO DO IF A PHONE SCAMMER CALLS
▪ Make note of the caller's phone number.
▪ Avoid conversation and hang up.
▪ Contact the law enforcement agency in your jurisdiction.
▪ Consider blocking the scammer's phone number to avoid future calls.

The department store giant's shares plummet more than 18%.
Macy's did not have as merry a Christmas as it expected, and now all of retail is under the microscope.
The department store giant released disappointing holiday sales results, with comparable sales rising 0.7%, or 1.1% including licensed departments, over a year earlier. The results forced the company to slash its annual earnings guidance.
Macy's shares plummeted more than 18% in early trading and took shares of chains from Nordstrom to Kohl 's down with it. Even Target, which had released robust holiday sales last week, saw its shares sink lower on Macy's woes.
For one, the chain had just bumped up its full-year guidance as recently as November 14. Now that its view has darkened so notably in such a short time frame, it is fair to wonder whether executives really have a handle on what it needs to do to be competitive in a cut-throat retail environment and whether its turnaround initiatives have as much long-term promise as they'd thought. | {

Gold rose overnight in a range of $1309.90 - $1318, fading some weakness in the US dollar, though trading activity was thin and activity muted ahead of this afternoon's FOMC meeting statement and the subsequent press conference by new Fed Chair Powell.
The DX dipped from 90.43 down to 90.10, pressured by a firmer yen (106.54 – 106.23), pound ($1.40 - $1.4075, positive UK employment and wage data), and euro ($1.2240 - $1..2291).
This boosted gold through initial resistance at $1313-15 – (quadruple bottom, lows 3/2, 3/9, 3/12, 3/13) and $1317 (3/20 high) to reach $1318.
A firmer US 10-year bond yield (2.905%) was a headwind for gold, however, while global equities were mixed. The NIKKEI was closed, the SCI was off 0.3%, Eurozone shares ranged from -0.4% to +0.2%, and S&P futures were flat.
Firmer oil prices (WTI from $63.50 - $64.25, API reports surprise crude draw in US inventories) helped to support stocks.
At 8:30 AM, a larger US current Account Deficit Balance (-$128.2B vs. exp. -$125B) pushed the DX further down to 90.01.
Gold ran higher in the pre-FOMC thin conditions, and took out some buys stops over the double top at $1320-22 and $1324 (down trend line from 2/16 $1362 high) to reach $1326.80, where resistance in front of $1328 -30 (quadruple top, 3/8, 3/13, 3/14 ,and 3/15 highs) held.
By late morning, US stocks turned higher (S&P +14 to 2731), with news that Republicans and Democrats struck a preliminary agreement to fund the government ahead of Friday's deadline, a further advance in oil (WTI to $65.26 ,6-week high, EIA confirmed API report with a surprise drop in US crude inventories), and news that Facebook's Zuckerberg would address the data breach crisis as tailwinds.
The US 10-year yield rose further to 2.911%, and the DX rebounded to 90.22. Gold retreated, and pulled back to support at the prior resistance of $1320-22 - awaiting the FOMC statement.
Lifted their benchmark rate to 3.4% at the end of 2020, up from 3.1%.
Increased GDP for this year to 2.7% from 2.5%.
US stocks rallied (S&P +22 to 2739), the US 10-year yield popped to 2.936% (1-month high), while the DX rebounded to 90.26. Gold sold off, and slid back to $1319.
The probability of a 25bp rate hike in June increased to 83.2% from 79.1% just before 2PM, while the chance of a hike in Sep rose from 56.1% to 56.9%. However, the probability of a 4th hike in Dec declined from 38.1% to 35.2%.
The 10-year yield collapsed down to 2.878%, and the DX tumbled through stops under 90 to reach 89.64. US stocks turned negative, with the S&P ending off 7 to 2716.
Gold rallied back sharply, and triggered some buy stops over $1328-30 (quadruple top, 3/8, 3/13, 3/14 ,and 3/15 highs), the 40 and 50 day moving averages at $1331 and $1335 (50% retracement of down move from 1/25 $1366 high to 3/1 $1303 low) to reach $1336.65 (short covering seen). The yellow metal was $1333 bid at 4PM with a gain of $23.
Open interest was up 4.8k contracts, showing a net of new shorts from yesterday's decline. Volume was similar to yesterday's with 354k contracts trading.
With markets expecting a more hawkish FOMC statement, the dovish nuggets provided the bulls with enough ammo to turn around the recent climb in the DX and reverse gold's probe lower.
The bulls should see some open field running until the triple top at $1341 (2/26, 3/6, and 3/7 highs). Beyond that, bulls will need the dollar to breach next supports at 89.56 (3/12 low) and 89.36 (3/7 low) in order to test the next resistance levels in gold at $1347 (2/20 high), $1351 (triple top 1/29, 2/1, and 2/2 highs), $1362 (2/16 high).
Though some bears were run out of the market today, many remain comfortable selling into rallies. Bears point out that despite a significant pullback in the 10-year bond yield today, it remains well above 2.85% and within spitting distance of 4-year highs.
They expect equities to continue to rebound off of their correction 2 months ago, and expect the DX to resume its bounce off of the 88.25 low last month to pressure gold lower.
Bears are targeting a breach of support at the prior resistance at $1320-22 followed by the quadruple bottom at $1307-10 to bring into play key support at $1303-06 (100-day moving average, 50% retracement of up move from 12/12/17 $1236 low to 1/25/18 $1366 high,3/1 low). | {

!! OMG, free documentary: Matt Wolf's "I Remember" on writer/artist Joe Brainard !!
Last year, New York-based filmmaker Matt Wolf made a beautiful documentary about American artist, and New York School writer, Joe Brainard.
'I REMEMBER' is based on Brainard's memoirs and you can stream it for free this week over on Mousse Magazine's VDROME. (There's also an interview with Matt about the film.) Some more info from VDROME:
I Remember is a kind of biography of the New York School writer and artist Joe Brainard, who died of Aids in 1994 at the age of 53. I say kind of because it's also a visualization or vivification of his wonderful book I Remember, which is in itself a difficult to categorize work – an autobiography, let's say, by way of intensely sensual fragments of memory.
Using found footage and archival audio and visual materials to construct his narrative Matt Wolf creates a memento-like reenactment of Joe Brainard's poem "I Remember". Composed by an ongoing flux of recollections and images, the film maintains the fast cadency of the Brainard's text while weaving a touching biographical account of the American artist and writer.

It's a brilliant series, well drawn and, at times, very funny. Also referencing several horror films like Dawn of the Dead along the way.
I have the Dark Horse 6 issue collection that was translated into English but the bulk of my collection is in Italian.
If there is anyone out there, and it's a long shot, that has any original Italian copies I would be willing to buy them off you. If not I'm happy to discuss the content. Although my Italian is coming along it still takes me a week to read 68 pages of every issue.
I love this series (nearly 400 issues so far plus some specials) but I doubt many people in the UK read it.
The stall at the end of the bus station in Rome is the best place to get them. They have loads at 2-3 euros each but my money only allows me 3-4 a visit.
Managed to pick up some omnibuses' of 3 issues each at Pisa recently. Florence had none that I could find.
Right here,long time fan actually.Thou my reading has been all over the place and by no way in chronological order.
I wish you had written this a few weeks ago, I had a few issues knocking about in the garage but I left them recently at a book crossing. I think I might still have n. 143 entitled Apocalisse, I'll have a look when I can. I've lived in Italy for about 15 years and I bought them, like you, to practise reading the language.
If you like, there is a flea market in my town once a month where they sell lots of second hand copies, as well as a few second hand shops. Are there any particular issues you would like? I could get them for you directly. TBH, though, if you're coming here twice a year, it might not be worth your while me posting them to the UK. With the P&P it would be like you buying them new when you visit. Let me know what you think.
Have you tried other Italian titles like Martin Mystère and Nathan Never?
Thanks for the offer but as you say I suspect p&p would be high.
Glad to see I'm not the only one enjoying this series. Next time I'm over (hopefully in April to Rome) I'm going to buy loads.
Have managed to snag a couple of eBay too.
I haven't tried any of the other titles yet as I love DD and there are hundreds left for me to get. | {

Another lil' comic. I kinda like these, it's an even more limiting format. You?
My homeboy in Charm City the miraculous Marty Day has found this great collection of business cards of and from famous movies and other pop culture companies. It's nerdtastic to the max. I poked around and found the creator's Tumblr (Fro Design Co), where he posts tons of great posters for sale (including all the business cards on a poster).
UPDATE: Rosscott, Inc. is currently experiencing some technical problems (see the "Hang Onto Your Butts" posts below for details). We'll be back up and running by Monday, December 29th.
Vote for (or against) this comic at Is It Funny Today here.
I missed out on meeting Ami from The Glass Urchin at Balticon by mere minutes. For months after, every one of my webcomic friends got to know her and I feel I missed the boat since I have become a huge fan of her little comic. But no longer! Thanks to the Twitters, we have had a chance to chat a bit, and turns out we are both fans of each other's comics (or will pretend to be at the least).
The Glass Urchin is a autobio comic about Ami, though she is portrayed (as are her friends) as cute woodland creatures. NO THIS IS NOT A FURRY COMIC. It is, however, fun and hilarious. Here's my fav. Go check out the site, it updates often and does not disappoint.
Yes, another reminder. Super Art Fight, an event that I myself will be attending, is tomorrow night (8pm, $10, The Ottobar in Baltimore). You can see more info on the site, as well as the many plugs we've been getting for the show. Highlights include Baltimore Examiner, Washington Post, and a quick jaunt on Wonkette where she made fun of us. | {

Microfluidics has a lot of applications in fields ranging from pharmaceutical to energy, and one of the major applications is micromixers. A challenge faced by most micromixers is the difficulty in mixing within micro-size fluidic channels because of the domination of laminar flow in a small channel. Hence, magnetic field generated by permanent magnets and electromagnets have been widely used to mix ferrofluids with other sample fluids on a micro level. However, permanent magnets are bulky, and electromagnets produce harmful heat to biological samples; both properties are detrimental to a microfluidic chip's performance. Taking these into consideration, this study proposes rapid mixing of ferrofluid using a two-layer microfluidic device with microfabricated magnet. Two microfluidic chips that consist of microchannels and micromagnets respectively are fabricated using a simple and low-cost soft lithography method. The custom-designed microscale magnet consists of an array of stripes and is bonded below the plane of the microchannel. The combination of the planar location and angle of the array of magnets allow the migration of ferrofluids, hence mixing it with buffer flow. Parametric studies are performed to ensure comprehensive understanding, including the angle of micro-scale magnets with respect to the fluidic channels, total flow rate and density of the array of magnets. The result from this study can be applied in chemical synthesis and pre-processing, sample dilution, or inducing reactions between samples and reagent.

Developing an Optimum Design of the Double Layer Microchannel Heat Sink for High Speed CPUs
Ali Radwan, Essam M. Abo-Zahhad, O. Abdelrehim, A. H. El-Shazly, Shinichi Ookawara, M. M. Awad, M. F. El-Kady, Mohamed R. Elmarghany, Mohamed S. Salem, Mahmoud A. Shouman
High speed CPUs and electronic chips usually dissipate relatively large quantities of energy in the form of heat. The limited available cooling space requires innovative and efficient thermal management techniques. These techniques must accomplish low operation temperatures along with uniform temperature distribution over the chip surface. Recently, several researches focused on developing different microchannel heat sink (MCHS) designs for this purpose. Among these designs is the double layer microchannel heat sink (DL-MCHS), which can be operated in either parallel flow (PF) or counter flow (CF) operation modes. The thermo-hydraulic characteristics of this heat sink was comprehensively investigated in the literature using numerical methods. However, based on the authors literature survey, all the previous numerical investigations considered the computational domain as a straight section with multi-channels in each layer. This approach assumes a uniform velocity for all the flow channels in each layer and neglect the effect of the inlet and outlet headers. In addition, the heat interaction between the coolant in both layers through the header section was not considered. These assumptions cause a considerable discrepancy between the numerical results in the literature and the realistic conditions. Therefore, in this work, a detailed 3D conjugate heat transfer model is developed. In this 3D model, DL-MCHS is designed with and without headers. The designed heat sinks are operated under PF and CF conditions. For a specific electronic chip with dimensions of 13 mm × 40 mm at a heat flux of 5 kW/m 2 . The model is validated with the experimental results in the literature. It is found that, including the header design in the simulation of the DL-MCHS must be considered in the simulation to predict the accurate thermo-hydraulic performance of the DL-MCHS specially in the CF. Further, using the DL-MCHS in PF operation accomplished a lower average chip temperature compared with the CF. Furthermore, at high coolant flowrate, neglecting the effect of the header in the CFD calculations can be approximated to predict the chip surface temperature. And finally, neglecting the header in the CFD calculations significantly affect the calculated pumping power for both PF and CF operated DL-MCHS.

Four Compartments Stepwise Varied Width Microchannels Cooling Approach for Densely-Packed Module of Concentration Photovoltaics
Essam M. Abo-Zahhad, A. H. El-Shazly, Shinichi Ookawara, M. F. El-Kady, Abdallah Y. M. Ali, Hesham I. Elqady, Mohamed R. Elmarghany, Mohamed S. Salem, Mahmoud A. Shouman, Ali Radwan
The high concentration of solar radiation on the multijunction solar cells used in the highly concentrated photovoltaic modules cases a very high cell temperature. Also, high cell temperature operations overall performance and increase thermal stresses. Therefore, an efficient cooling arrangement is mandatory to achieve a higher net output power from the high concentrator photovoltaic structures. In this work, the comprehensive three-dimensional (3D) model was developed and manipulated to investigate the performance of an HCPV system under the active cooling scheme to figure out its ability to handle effective heat dissipations. Various novel cooling microchannels manifold designs were numerically investigated and compared in the term of cooling down a densely packed high concentration photovoltaic. The solar cell type is the latest product of AZURSPACE triple junction of 3 × 3 mm 2 solar cell. A 64 multijunction solar cells (electrical efficiency of 42.3% at cell temperature 25 °C) module were considered in this work. The influence heat sink design, channel dimensions, and inlet flow rate on the cooling performance of the manifold heat sink device were examined. The same external dimensions are considered, and the flow was laminar and the inlet temperature 25 °C for all designs for a reasonable comparison. the heat sink material the maraging steel. The concept of dividing the heat sink area to many segments is adopted to improve the heat removal capacity. The concept of channel width variation along the flow stream length was studied. The heat sinks including rectangular channels were adopted as they are easy to be fabricated. The limitations of 3D metal printing and pumping requirements were considered for all proposed designs where the minimum channel width is 0.8 mm. The comparison between all studied designs is highlighted concerning surface average temperature surface temperature uniformity and pressure drop.

Flow Boiling on Heterogeneous Wetting Surface in a Vertical Narrow Microchannel
Yuhao Lin, Junye Li, Kan Zhou, Wei Li, Kuang Sheng, Shuai Shao
The micro structured surfaces have significant impact on the flow patterns and heat transfer mechanisms during the flow boiling process. The hydrophobic surface promotes bubble nucleation while the hydrophilic surface supplies liquid to a heating surface, thus there is a trade-off between a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic surface. To examine the effect of heterogeneous wetting surface on flow boiling process, an experimental investigation of flow boiling in a rectangular vertical narrow microchannel with the heterogeneous wetting surface was conducted with deionized water as the working fluid. The heat transfer characteristics of flow boiling in the microchannel was studied and the flow pattern was photographed with a high-speed camera. The onset of flow boiling and heat transfer coefficient were discussed with the variation of heatfluxes and mass fluxes, the trends of which were analyzed along with the flow patterns. During the boiling process, the dominated heat transfer mechanism was nucleate boiling, with numerous nucleate sites between the hydrophilic/hydrophobic stripes and on the hydrophobic ones. In the meantime, after the merged bubbles were constrained by the channel walls, it would be difficult for them to expand towards upstream since they were restricted by the contact line between hydrophilic/hydrophobic stripes, thereby reduce the flow instability and achieve remarkable heat transfer performance.

Microalgae Harvesting in a Microfluidic Centrifugal Separator for Enhanced Biofuel Production
Rohan Sharma, Scott Shirley, Tahir Farrukh, Mohammadhassan Kavosi, Myeongsub Kim
Biofuel is one of the renewable energy resources alternatives to fossil fuels [1]. Among various sources for biofuels, microalgae provide at least three-orders-of-magnitude higher production rate of biodiesel at a given land area than conventional crop-based methods. However, microalgal biodiesel still suffers from significantly lower harvesting performance, making such a fuel less competitive. To increase the separation performance of microalgae from cultivation solution, we used a spiral microchannel that enables the isolation of biofuel-algae particles from water and contaminants contained in the culturing solution. Our preliminary data show that separation performance in the microfluidic centrifugal separator is as high as 88% within a quick separation time of 30 seconds. To optimize separation performance, multiple parameters of algae behaviors and separation techniques were studied and were manipulated to achieve better performance. We found that changing these factors altered the separation performance by increasing or decreasing flocculation, or "clumping" of the microalgae within the microchannels. The important characteristics of the separator geometry, fluid properties, and environmental conditions on algae separation was found and will be further studied in the forthcoming tests. This introductory study reveals that there is an opportunity to improve the currently low performance of algae separation in centrifugal systems using much smaller designs in size, ensuring a much more efficient algae harvesting.

Review of Enhancement Techniques With Vapor Extraction During Flow Boiling in Microchannels
Debora C. Moreira, Gherhardt Ribatski, Satish G. Kandlikar
Flow boiling heat transfer in microchannels can remove high heat loads from restricted spaces with high heat transfer coefficients and minimum temperature gradients. However, many works still report problems with instabilities, high pressure drop and early critical heat flux, which hinder its possible applications as thermal management solutions. Much comprehension on the phenomena concerning flow boiling heat transfer is still missing, therefore many investigations rely on empirical methods and parametric studies to develop novel configurations of more efficient heat sinks. Nevertheless, investigations involving vapor extraction have successfully addressed all these previously reported issues while also increasing the heat transfer of heat sinks employing flow boiling in microchannels. In this sense, the objective of this review is to identify the main techniques employed for vapor extraction in microchannels-based heat sinks and analyze the physical mechanisms underneath the observed improvements during flow boiling, such that some design guidelines can be drawn. Three main strategies can be identified: passive vapor extraction, active vapor extraction, and membrane-based vapor extraction. All these strategies were able to dissipate heatfluxes higher than 1 kW/cm 2 , with the best performance achieved by a membrane-based heat sink, followed by active and passive designs. According to the present experimental and numerical data available in the literature, there is still room for improvement.

Simulation of Subcooled Flow Boiling in Manifold Microchannel Heat Sink
Yang Luo, Jingzhi Zhang, Wei Li
The manifold microchannel (MMC) heat sink has become the most popular one among emerging technologies for high heat flux thermal management because of its high surface-to-volume ratio. Even though numerous numerical studies have been performed for the single-phase flow in the MMC heat sink, researches on two-phase flow boiling/condensation in this type of microchannel is seldomly reported because of its issues with flow pattern prediction. In the present work, a numerical approach involving two-phase interface capturing, phase change and solid heat conduction is conducted for the simplified MMC unit cell model. Heat and mass transfers of Lee model and interfacial heat resistance model for phase change are validated by the single bubble growth problem. Besides, both phase-change models are shown to provide good predictions against the experimental temperature database, with all of the data points falling within −5% to +20% and −5% to +10% error bands for Lee model and interfacial resistance model, respectively. Furthermore, a liquid-vapor interface region with thin thickness and accurate interface temperature can be obtained by the interfacial resistance model coupled with homogeneous nucleation-site model.

Effect of Wetted Microtexturing on Friction in Microchannel Flow
Nastaran Rabiei, Carlos Hidrovo
Microchannel flows are widely used in applications where small diffusion length scales are important. However, their inherent dimensional constrain also translates into high pumping power requirements. Inspired by nature, one possible method to reduce the large viscous pressure losses is to introduce textures in a microchannel. Depending on the interaction between the textured surface and the liquid, the microstructures can either be wetted or nonwetted. Less adhesion between solid and liquid in nonwetted state has made it popular in most of the friction reduction studies. However, in the nonwetted state, preventing liquid from penetrating into the grooves under pressurized conditions and the gas-liquid interface acting like a solid boundary open space to consider the wetted state for friction reduction as well. When dealing with the wetted state we should be aware that penetration of the flow inside the grooves can induce the pressure drag alongside the skin drag. Therefore, the wetted state will lead to a trade-off between skin and pressure drag. The aim of this work is to understand how different microtextures affect the total drag in a laminar microchannel flow. Textured microchannels with width-to-depth aspect ratios of 1, 10 and 50 and different width of the land region have been tested. In order to perform correct comparisons, the textured and baseline microchannels are designed to have the same volume. The results show that increasing the aspect ratio of the trenches introduces an extermum point in the hydraulic resistance of the microchannels. The optimum aspect ratio for the tested microchannels is 10, in which the trenches are not wide enough for streamlines to bend inside the trenches and increase the skin drag and they are not highly dense along the microchannel to reveal the negative effect of the pressure drag. On the whole, the hydraulic resistance of the textured channels is higher than the equivalent baseline for all the tested geometries.

Steam Flow Condensation on Superhydrophobic Surfaces in a High Aspect Ratio Microchannel
Mirvahid Mohammadpour Chehrghani, Taher Abbasiasl, Ghazaleh Gharib, Ali Kosar, Abdolali Khalili Sadaghiani
Steam flow condensation has a wide range of applications in the industry such as in air conditioning, refrigeration, and thermal power plants. Condensation of steam on highly hydrophobic surfaces has resulted in notable heat transfer improvement compared to conventional hydrophilic surfaces. Dropwise condensation and increased droplet mobility are the main reason for thermal performance enhancement of superhydrophobic surfaces. Although there are considerable reports of enhanced thermal transport behavior of highly hydrophobic surfaces on steam condensation, the literature lacks sufficient investigation on flow condensation of steam, such as the effect of average vapor quality change on heat transfer rate. Unlike gravity-driven droplet departure in quiescent dropwise condensation, droplet departure sizes in flow condensation are governed by flow-droplet shear forces and droplet-surface adhesive forces. This work experimentally investigates steam flow condensation on nanotextured highly hydrophobic and slightly hydrophobic surfaces. The experimental setup consists of a reservoir, boiler, superheater, condensation chamber (test section), pre-condenser (to adjust the inlet quality), a post condenser, and a pump. A high aspect ratio microchannel was used as the test section. Different mass fluxes and inlet vapor qualities were used for the experimentations. Visualization studies were performed to analyze droplet dynamics such as droplet departure and coalescence in flow condensation. It is shown that for both surfaces increase condensation heat transfer coefficient were a function of both average quality and mass flux. Increase in mass flux from G = 8 kg/m2s to G = 14 kg/m2s, resulted in 65% and 60% enhancement in condensation heat transfer coefficient of slightly hydrophobic and highly hydrophobic surfaces respectively.

Flow Maldistribution Effects on the Temperature Uniformity in Double-Layered Microchannel Heat Sinks
Carlo Nonino, Stefano Savino
Proc. ASME. ICNMM2019, ASME 2019 17th International Conference on Nanochannels, Microchannels, and Minichannels, V001T07A002, June 23–26, 2019
A numerical investigation is carried out on the effects of flow maldistribution on the temperature uniformity and overall thermal resistance in double-layered microchannel heat sinks. Different flow maldistribution models accounting for the effects of some typical header designs are considered together with different combinations of the average inlet velocity in the two layers of microchannels for a given total mass flow rate. The numerical simulations are carried out using an in-house FEM procedure previously developed by the authors for the analysis of cross-flow microchannel heat exchangers.

Review on Bubble Dynamics in Microchannel Heat Sink
Sambhaji T. Kadam, Ibrahim Hassan, Ritunesh Kumar, Aziz Rahman
Inception of the boiling, in pool or flow boiling, is the formation of the vapour bubble at active nucleation site. The bubble dynamics plays an important role in the boiling process. It is critical as it unfolds many facets especially when channel size is reduced to submicron. The detailed knowledge of the bubble dynamics is helpful in establishing the thermal and hydraulic flow behaviour in microchannel. In this paper, the bubble dynamics which include bubble nucleation at nucleation site, its growth, departure and motion along the flow in a microchannel are discussed in details. Different models are developed for the critical cavity radius are compiled and observed that they show large variation when compare. The bubble growth models are compiled and concluded that a development of more generalized bubble growth model is necessary to account for the inertia controlled and thermal diffusion controlled regions. The bubble at the nucleation site in a microchannel grows under the influence of various forces such as surface tension, inertia, shear, gravitational and evaporation momentum. Parametric variations of these forces are critically studied and reckoned that the slope of these forces seems to be reduced beyond 500 μm. Eventually, possible impact of the various factors such as operating conditions, geometrical parameters, and thermophysical properties of fluid on bubble dynamics in microchannel has been reported.

A Compact Condenser for Thermal Desalination: Experimental Characterization and System Level Impact
Ramuel Safarkoolan, Xingsen Mu, Vinod Narayanan
Condensation heat transfer occurs in a variety of applications such as power generation, desalination, and thermal management. In this paper, the system level impact of using a microchannel condenser in multi-stage flash desalination is presented using a simple thermal model of the condenser. The condenser is comprised of several plates with internal microscale pin fin arrays through which cooling fluid (brine) flows. Externally, water vapor condenses in between the plates and is drained by gravity. The fabrication and thermal performance of a small-scale microchannel condenser is experimentally characterized. Condensation experiments are performed under sub-atmospheric conditions relevant to multi-stage flash desalination stage temperatures with varying flow rates of the cooling fluid, cooling fluid inlet temperature and condensation pressure.

Numerical Simulation of Liquid-Liquid Taylor Flow With Heat Transfer
Marcel Kwakkel, Maria Fernandino, Carlos A. Dorao
Numerical simulation of Taylor flows presents several challenges. At the dynamic interface physical properties are discontinuous, which is especially challenging for the thin film between the droplet and the wall. Phase-field methods, which are derived from thermodynamic principles, define the interface as a smooth transition between phases. By coupling the Cahn-Hilliard equation with the Navier-Stokes and energy equation, both interface dynamics and heat transfer can be captured. In the work presented, the resulting system of equations are solved by a parallel h-adaptive least-squares spectral element method. To approximate the solution with sufficient numerical accuracy, C 1 Hermite basis functions and a space-time formulation have been applied. It is widely accepted in the literature that the droplet characteristics such as length, velocity and dynamic interaction among them affect the heat transfer properties of Taylor flow. To gain understanding, their effect on heat transfer and pressure drop for liquid-liquid Taylor flow in microchannels must be studied in more detail.

Parametric Study of Vortex Generator Effects in an Additive Manufactured Minichannel Heat Exchanger
Hamidreza Rastan, Tim Ameel, Björn Palm
Heat exchangers with mini- and micro-channel components are capable of high energy exchange due to their incumbent large surface area to volume ratio. Concurrently, recent advances in additive manufacturing simplify the creation of metallic minichannels that incorporate turbulators for heat transfer enhancement. As part of the development of a minichannel heat exchanger with turbulators, this study analyzes the three-dimensional conjugate heat transfer and laminar flow in a minichannel heat exchanger equipped with rectangular winglet vortex generators (VGs) through numerical simulation. The minichannels have a hydraulic diameter of 2.86 mm and are assumed to be made from aluminum alloy AlSi10Mg. This material is one of the popular alloys in the additive manufacturing industry (three-dimensional (3D) printing) because of its light weight and beneficial mechanical and thermal properties. The working fluid is distilled water with temperature-dependent thermal properties. The minichannel is heated by a constant heat flux of 5 W cm −2 and the Reynolds number is varied from 230 to 950. The simulations are performed using the COMSOL ® platform, which solves the governing mass, momentum, and energy equations based on the finite element method. The effect of the VG design parameters, which include VG angle of attack, height, length, thickness, longitudinal pitch, and distance from the sidewalls, is investigated. It is found that the generation of three-dimensional vortices caused by the presence of the vortex generators can notably boost the convective heat transfer, at the cost of increased pressure drop, potentially reducing the heat exchanger size for a given heat duty. A sensitivity analysis indicates that the angle of attack, VG height, VG length, and longitudinal pitch have the most significant effects on the heat transfer and flow friction characteristics. In contrast, the VG thickness and distance from the sidewalls only had minor influences on the heat exchanger performance over the studied range of design parameters.

Performance Analysis of Concentrator Photovoltaic/Microchannel Heat Sink System Using Nanofluid
Ali Radwan, Mohamed M. Awad, Shinichi Ookawara, Mahmoud Ahmed
In this study, the performance of concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) cell enhanced by using double layer microchannel heat sink (DL-MCHS) with nanofluid is investigated. Pure ethanol and 0.2 % Vol. Al 2 O 3 -ethanol are utilized to reduce the solar cell temperature under indoor solar concentration ratio of 5.7 Suns. The designed DL-MCHS is monolithically fabricated from Maraging steel using 3D metal printer. The experimental results showed that using parallel flow (PF) operation mode of the designed DL-MCHS is favourable for cooling the CPV system compared with the counter flow (CF) operation mode. In the cooled CPV using PF mode, the open circuit voltage enhancement is about 12.7% in comparison to the uncooled case. The nanofluid results also showed a reduction in the solar cell temperature in comparison with the pure coolant. The current results can be used as a validation step for accurate numerical modelling of nanofluid applications in CPV system cooling.

Performance of Concentrator Photovoltaic Systems Integrated With Double Layer Microchannel Heat Sink
In this study, a new design of double layer microchannel heat sink (DL-MCHS) has been monolithically fabricated using 3D metal printer and experimentally examined as a heat sink for concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) systems. Single phase liquid cooling using ethanol and flow boiling cooling using NOVEC-7000 coolant in the designed DL-MCHS are experimentally compared. The results proved that using the flow boiling cooling technique for the CPV systems attained a lower solar cell temperature with high temperature uniformity. In more details, flow boiling in counterflow (CF) operated DL-MCHS, attained a very low solar cell temperature close to the NOVEC-7000 boiling point with temperature uniformity of 0.2 °C over a wide range of coolant flow rate from 25–250 ml/hr.

Physics of Transition to Annular Flow in Microchannel Flow Boiling Process
Meisam Matin, Abdy Fazeli, Saeed Moghaddam
Transition to annular flow regime in microchannels is arguably one of the most complex phenomena in the flow boiling process. The instability of the vapor-liquid interface in this interstitial regime presents an intricate situation in which the interface pattern rapidly changes with the mass flow rate and surface heat flux. Although a few past studies have reported observing this regime, thermohydraulics of the process and flow and boundary conditions under which this transition occurs have remained largely unknown. The main obstacle in deciphering the physics of this process is lack of measurement tools to characterize hydrodynamics and thermal characteristics of this flow regime at microscales. The present study benefits from implementation of a novel test device that enables measuring the liquid film thickness and its rapid variations with micrometer and microseconds spatial and temporal resolutions. It is determined that each flow regime has a unique surface temperature signature that enables its clear distinction without need for high-speed visualization. Based on the dynamics of the flow, we identified that the transitional region is comprised of two regimes coalescing bubbles (CB) and semi-annular flow conditions. The difference between these two flow regimes emanates from motion of liquid film beneath the bubble.

Evaluation of Heat Transfer Performance of a Spiral Microfluidic Heatsink and Heat Exchanger Device
Niven Singh Virik, Samuel D. Marshall, Rerngchai Arayanarakool, Hian Hian See, Heng Wang, Poh Seng Lee, Peter Chen Chao Yu
Developments in micro-technology have seen vast improvements in the design and the thermal performance of heat sinks and heat exchangers, particularly in the case of spiral microfluidic devices which deals with the flow of liquids inside curved micrometer-sized channels. The current research deals with a specially designed curved microfluidic channel used to employ the fluid mixing characteristics of Dean vortices and thus transfer heat more efficiently. This curved microfluidic channel is deployed as a spiral channel to create an effective heat sink and a heat exchanger. The novel micro heat exchanger is built by integrating two or more of the specially designed microfluidic heat sink layers. For the ease of fabricating the microchannels, these devices are polymer-based. In this paper, the thermal performance of the spiral microfluidic devices is analyzed numerically and experimentally using a range of flow rates where Thermal Performance Factor is used to find a balanced point between heat transfer and pressure drop. The spiral heat exchange device proves to be an effective thermal transport system with the introduction of curved channels in the devices where the presence of Dean vortices in the system is observed, especially at lower flow rates. It can be observed that by increasing the number of layers, the thermal performance is greatly improved. This is due to the higher surface area with increasing number of layers, as well as a parallel flow structure through the layers. These results serve as a design parameter for developing microchannel-based heat transfer devices that can achieve high efficiency of heat and mass transfer. Further heat sink and heat exchanger design improvements are discussed.

Effects of Size and Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate on Mass Transfer for Liquid-Liquid Two-Phase Flow in Non-Circular Glass Microchannels
Astrid Svensson, Zan Wu, Bengt Sunden
This study concerns effects of two main variables on hydrodynamics and mass transfer in the liquid-liquid two-phase slug flow regime. The influence of size of square and rectangular microchannels and presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) are investigated. Three microchannels with dimensions 600×600 (MC600), 400×400 (MC400) and 600×300 (MC300) μm were used with hydraulic diameters of 600, 400 and 400 μm respectively. The results revealed that decreasing the hydraulic diameter improved the interfacial area due to slug length enlargement in both phases. Furthermore, mass transfer resistance was reduced because of enhanced internal circulations, leading to considerable enhancement of the overall mass transfer coefficient K L . It was also found that the enhancement of K L was greater in the square MC400 microchannel than in the rectangular MC300, as compared to the MC600. The enhancing benefit from internal circulations in organic slugs in rectangular microchannels decreased at higher aqueous flow rates due to enlarged stagnant liquid film flow between the organic slug and the microchannel wall. The presence of SDS slightly increased the interfacial area by reducing the slug length in both phases. However, there was a significant decrement in K L , due to a greater mass transfer resistance.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation
The Sacrament of Reconciliation or Penance was instituted by Jesus, the physician of our souls and bodies, who forgave the sins of the paralytic and willed that his Church continue, in the power of the Holy Spirit, His work of healing and salvation. Jesus has willed that the life and actions of his Church be a sign and instrument of forgiveness and reconciliation. [Catechism of the Catholic Church 1994 Reference: 1442]
Children are generally prepared to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time when they reach the second grade. They are prepared through a special program and must already be attending religious education classes or attending Catholic grade school. Older children may be prepared separately from the second graders. For further information, please contact the Religious Education Office at (410) 531-6688.
Adults who wish to be initiated into the sacrament of Reconciliation should contact the parish office at (410) 531-6040.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is offered on Saturdays from 3:00 - 3:55 p.m. and 5:00 - 5:25 p.m. It is recommended that penitents arrive at the beginning of the time periods to ensure adequate opportunity to receive the sacrament. Parish penance services are held during Advent and Lent and are announced in the parish bulletin. Individuals may also call the parish office at (410) 531-6040 to arrange for a personal appointment with a priest to celebrate the sacrament.

Every 1.8 minutes, somebody in Germany suffers a heart attack – approximately one in three ends fatally. A deficiency in myocardial perfusion, for example caused by an occluded vessel, can irreparably destroy myocardial tissue.
The earliest possible detection of a heart attack is vital to successful management of the persons affected and to increasing their chances of survival. Yet, conventional examination methods such as ECG deliver insufficient accuracy rates at best. These methods only detect 30 percent of all myocardial infarctions. The opposite is true of a new method called cardiogoniometry, which is capable of discovering over 70 percent of all heart attacks without any doubts. The Schwarzwald Medical Resort Obertal, situated in the mountain city of Baiersbronn, is the first private clinic in Germany to start using cardiogoniometry for cardiac examinations.
Atypical and silent heart attacks are most insidious. Whereas your typical heart attack is accompanied by symptoms like pain in the chest, shortness of breath or mortal anxiety that are clear and early signs heralding the pathological event, such signs are absent when an atypical heart attack happens. The silent kind of infarction is expressed by symptoms like fatigue or exhaustion, which however are not associated with a heart attack. In a silent heart attack, even these signals are lacking – it happens without the sufferer even noticing. Yet the effects on the myocardium are at least as life threatening as in a typical heart attack with its familiar concomitant symptoms.
"What makes an atypical or silent heart attack particularly dangerous is that the sufferer does not go to the doctor," explained Dr. Kai Ruffmann, managing cardiologist at the Black Forest Medical Resort Obertal, a leading private clinic for internal medicine, orthopaedics and naturopathy. "Nevertheless, the risk of suffering another heart attack within the next twelve months and dying of it is very high." The probability that the second heart attack will also take an atypical or silent course and that life-saving medical help comes too late is that much greater because the affected person again does not recognize the danger, simply because the symptoms are lacking.
the person affected from feeling the typical infarction pain. That is also the reason why an atypical or silent heart attack ends fatally three times more frequently than a typical heart attack does, according to a study published in the medical journal Chest (2004; 126; 461-469).
"High-risk patients like the elderly or diabetics are therefore advised to have a prophylactic exercise ECG done once a year," says Dr. Ruffmann. However, many people avoid this examination because they have to push themselves to the limit and are therefore afraid of triggering a heart attack by performing the test. This problem is obviated by the new method of cardiogoniometry (CGM), as used at the Black Forest Medical Resort Obertal. CGM delivers much more accurate results compared to conventional exercise ECG and without physical exertion being required. The examination is performed with the patient lying comfortably. Instead of the twelve electrodes that conventional ECG needs, cardiogoniometry only requires five attached to the chest. These leads generate an exact three-dimensional image of the heart on the monitor; additionally, the computer calculates the numerous parameters measured that allow the doctor to evaluate the health status of the patient's heart. These data is available in just 12 seconds versus the long eight minutes required by conventional ECG.
conditions might be an atypical or silent heart attack which can likewise be followed by a second and potentially fatal myocardial infarction. A brief, 8-second cardiogoniometric examination can help avert this fate and extend the warranty for a long life. | {

Not related to the financial crisis, but have been meaning to post this nytimes op-ed.
I made this point in a debate I did for the incoming freshman class at Cornell. Nice to see the same point find a larger audience.
Basically, silly that there's so much debate on off-shoring drilling. It is basically a no-brainer.
To be clear, it will not reduce gas prices in any significant way. Oil is a global market, and the US while big cannot move it by itself.
This holds even after taking into account costs due to greenhouse gas emissions.
Green advocates like Thomas Friedman who oppose offshore drilling like to point to Brazil and Denmark as paragons who are energy independent (a stupid goal btw). And while it is true that Brazil and Denmark do have programs for alternative fuels like ethanol, they both get most of their domestic fuel from offshore drilling, a fact green advocates conveniently like to ignore.
Obama and McCain have both reached the same policy conclusion on this (given it is a no-brainer).
My opponent in the debate asked, if it is such a no-brainer, why is there still so much opposition. My (perhaps too flip answer) was to quote Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. When they were both asked why they supported policies that essentaily all economists thought were a bad idea (Clinton on ABC News re: tax holiday; Obama on NPR re: windfall taxes), they both replied that listening to economists is Elitist.
Nice to see reporters on the ball in these cases. Frustrates me to no end when economic consensus is ignored.
It's fine to ignore economists on subjects on which the profession is essentially clueless (like the sub-prime bailout) but on basics like optimal taxes, economists have a pretty good consensus idea of what's right. | {

….never before has such a terror appeared in Britain as we have now suffered from a pagan race, nor was it thought that such an inroad from the sea could be made….
The etymology is uncertain, but "Viking" possibly is derived from the Old Norse vik, or creek. A Viking then, was a creek-man – a tribute to the sleek shallow-draught boats that could penetrate far up-river, to wreak so much havoc on unsuspecting settlements. Late in the Viking Age, the word became synonymous with sea-robber, and was even used as an adverb: "to go a-viking". But earlier, in the 9th century where The Circle of Ceridwen is set, the term "Viking" was unknown. Ceridwen calls them simply Danes (for these early raiders were almost exclusively from that country), while clergy consistently referred to them as pagans, heathens, black gentiles, or "murderous hordes".
Unsurpassed seamen, fearless explorers and settlers, canny traders and brutal raiders, the Vikings left their mark upon every land their elegant ships reached. No peoples they affected were more stunned than the early English by the swiftness and violence of the Viking assault, and their complete disregard for the lives and property of holy men and women.
Most Anglo-Saxons had a hard time raising the mirror to their own faces. These raiding Vikings were in fact still in their own Heroic Age, at a time when the Christianised Anglo-Saxons were beginning to forget their own violent conquest of Britain.
….Then, within our grandsire's memory, a new people began to visit our shores. They were seamen unlike any we had ever seen, and raiders so skilled they took whatever they wanted and fled before our warriors could catch them.
In this year the host went from Cirencester into East Anglia, and occupied that land, and shared it out.
The attack on Lindisfarne which so grieved the good Alcuin was the first of many Viking strikes. The last was the double invasion of 1066 – first Norwegian King Harald Hardraade as claimant to the English throne, defeated by the Anglo-Saxon King Harold Godwinsson at the Battle of Stamford Bridge – and on his heels, William "the Conqueror". Normans means Northmen. William was descended from the Viking chief Hrolf (latinised as Rollo), who had settled in northern France and was made first Duke of Normandy in 991. | {

I don't know if it's true... It's likely something I read long ago in some other case. But... I thought there was a best place to cut between vertebrae - allowing easier separation of head from rest of body. Thus, my opinion on one of the killers having medical knowledge. But, I suppose hunters know same/similar info OR anyone who reads about murder/decapitation.
I dunno about this being done paramilitary-style but it could be possible.

Would the cord, wire or fishing line if tight enough be able to slice through the skin and meat of the neck and look like a knife cut it? Even a paper cut looks like a knife cut to me. If the neck bones were cut, would serrated or straight edged knife wounds show up? Could someone have just broken the bones?

Were the coffee cups out on the porch/deck or kitchen table or in the sink or dishwasher? How many cups or glasses were being used?
Could someone have come up with an "I'm broke down or need some gas and need to use the phone" excuse? Or wanted to do their yard or make a bid on a painting job? Or, maybe they wanted to let them know about "some damage done to their dock"? Or they had found something on the golf course where he had been walking and wanted to return it if it was his? Were they the type of couple who would welcome someone in, try to help them or turn them away? Did they feel safe in their home with nary a thought of someone bad coming up? Or were they fearful of anyone? If they weren't worried about their alarm system not being turned on, doesn't sound like they would be too alarmed by even a stranger coming up?

I did some research and there are YouTube videos showing how to open a garage door from the outside...with a coat hanger. Oh, my.
Maybe some one did that and waited for one of them to come home from ...Publix? Ambushed Mr. D in the garage?
And the D's probably would help someone who knocked at the door...JMO and based on my parents' actions in retirement.
Off topic- after my father died and about 6 months after his funeral, I went " back home" to visit my 89 year old mother. We were sitting in her living room one afternoon watching TV. Imagine my surprise when one of my mother's former students - a grown man walked in, sat down and asked my mother for money. Small town and no one locked doors in the daytime. It was as though I was invisible. I was shocked and mad. The former student left with no money and I called the sheriff, a guy I knew from high school.
It never happened again. And I moved her to live near me.

It is very easy to open a garage door with another universal opener. Elderly people tend to only see the good in people and don't really know how to recognize the bad ones because they prey on the elderly by playing the role of the nice kid. So sorry that happened to your mom.

I think the Dermonds felt safe in their neighborhood. And if someone appeared at their door (front, side or back) they likely would have answered without fear. Their home alarm system was off and it was likely early morning... Most people fear being attacked in the middle of the night. Also, since it's easy (obvious) to assume they were targeted, it's even more likely they recognized at least one killer. Maybe only one came to the door... The others remaining just out of sight until the first gained entry. But still... RD was left in garage so we have to wonder why "there"... Why not drag him inside the home?? Did the attack start and end in the garage?
Yeah, I'm still going round and round. Everything said already. I really should just stay quiet til the next podcast episode.

lion and i baked some yummy muffins. i love to have his help in the kitchen. he is so determined to mix and stir everything for me! so sweet!
this time i used blueberries and strawberries, but i have also used pears, apples, dried cranberries, dried apricots and banana's in this recipe. really just depends what you have on hand, and what flavours you want to mix together. the recipe calls for 1/2 cup of sugar, which i think is a bit much, so i often reduce that and add some extra fruit. delish!
muffin cups. i prefer the aluminum ones as they peel off of the baked muffins so much easier.
2. add dry ingredients to a bowl. then, add the wet ingredients. mix well together.
3. add fruit to mix and stir.
4. place muffin cups into the pan. then add muffin dough into the cups. put a thinly sliced strawberry on top, as a decorative touch!
5. bake until your fork comes out clean, about 15-20 minutes.
6. let cool before taking a yummy bite! | {

One of the earliest members of Takashi Murakami's Kaikai Kiki artist collective, Chiho Aoshima exemplifies his Superflat aesthetic in her digitally rendered panoramas. Brilliantly saturated with overlapping color gradients, her imagery tells of a postapocalyptic Japan where skulls and schoolgirls, ghosts and geishas abound in cityscapes that melt into landscapes. Aoshima's work testifies to an age of the contemporary where technology meets drawing—computer-generated Bezier curves are deployed to depict a human idea—in the flawless composition of a picture. Early in her career, she was invited to a residency at Art Pace in San Antonio, USA. Aoshima has participated in numerous group exhibitions within and outside of Japan, held at prestigious venues such as the Musée d'Art Contemporain in Lyon, France; the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead, United Kingdom; and Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona, Spain. Her art's potential for scale has won the artist many commissions over the years: she has completed expansive mural installations at the 14th Street Union Square subway station in New York, the Gloucester Road underground station in London, and the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, as well as the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston. | {

Wigan Athletic Sign Forward Jamal Lowe
More from Local Sport
Thursday, August 1st, 2019 5:15pm
Wigan Athletic are delighted to confirm the signing of forward Jamal Lowe from Portsmouth, for an undisclosed fee.
Lowe, 25, has signed a three-year deal with Latics in a move that sees him reunite with Paul Cook, the manager who brought him to Pompey in 2017.
Latics' new number nine scored 17 goals in Sky Bet League One last season, having scored nine times in the previous campaign – one of which came against Latics in April 2018.
In two-and-a-half seasons with Pompey, Lowe played 119 games and scored 30 goals.
Cook brought Lowe to Portsmouth from Hampton & Richmond Borough, where he'd scored 33 goals in two campaigns, in what was the start of Lowe's rise from non-league to the Championship.
Lowe will now hope to make his Latics debut on Saturday when they host Cardiff City at the DW Stadium.

As we know, gold has excellent properties, such as electrical conductivity and good ductility. Gold can be used to make wire, to make thin sheets and alloys together with other metals. Besides, gold has been used to make jewelry and decorations since very long time ago. Even today, people still pay special attention to golden jewelries. And in order to get gold, we need gold mining rock crusher to process gold ore in order to get gold concentrate, which can be used for smelting to produce gold.
Generally, to process gold mine, we need crushing equipment, grinding equipment and beneficiation equipment, some auxiliary equipment. The crushing equipment is used to process the large sized raw gold ore into smaller particles for further processing. Grinding equipment is used to grind the gold ore particles into powder for upgrading. Beneficiation equipment is used to upgrade the gold ore in order to get gold concentrate. And the auxiliary equipment is used to help the main equipment to form a complete plant to get better effect.
As a professional gold mining rock crusher manufacturer, Zenith provides various different types and models of the mentioned gold mining rock crusher for sale. For example, there is jaw crusher, impact crusher and cone crusher in the crushing equipment, there are flotation machine, shaking table and some other machines in the beneficiation equipment. Different machines have different prices. And the engineers will recommend suitable type and model of the gold mining crusher equipment according to requirements and then quote the best price. | {

Rangers Release Eric Surkamp To Sign With KBO's Hanwha Eagles
By Steve Adams | July 7, 2016 at 7:00pm CDT
The Rangers announced tonight that they've requested release waivers on left-hander Eric Surkamp and will sell his contract rights to the Hanwha Eagles of the Korea Baseball Organization. Texas had claimed Surkamp off waivers from the division-rival Athletics in late June. The move opens a spot on the Rangers' 40-man roster.
Surkamp, 28, has a 3.56 ERA and a strong 274-to-82 K/BB ratio over the life of 293 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level but has never been able to transfer that success to the Majors. He's seen big league time with the Giants, White Sox, Dodgers and A's but struggled to a 6.68 ERA in 95 2/3 innings of work. He'll look to follow the path of many other former big leaguers that have struggled to establish themselves in MLB but enjoyed success pitching overseas. The terms of his deal with the Eagles, of course, we not included in this announcement, but it's fair to expect that he'll earn a good bit more pitching in the KBO than he would have made pitching in the minors with the Rangers organization. The Rangers, in turn, will receive some degree of financial compensation from the Eagles in exchange for parting with Surkamp.

The Eraser
Author: Mark Renney
Tanner's job was to remove the evidence, to wipe away the traces. He considered this task as necessary, that he was an essential part of the system and for more than forty years Tanner's belief in the system hadn't wavered. He had remained resolute, diligent and effective.
Although he remembered all the names of those he had erased, Tanner hadn't ever regarded them as individuals. No, they were part of a collective and anyhow many of them, most in fact, were already dead or imprisoned before his work had even begun.
Some, a few, had escaped and were living in exile, but what they did and said elsewhere didn't matter. What they were beyond the system was inconsequential. It was the eraser's job to eradicate those who opposed the system from within. To help establish and maintain the truth.
By the time a name is passed on to Tanner, the bulk of inflammatory material has already been unearthed and obliterated. Underground magazines can't hide forever and the liars are always captured amidst the lies, like spiders trapped in their own webs.
Tanner is responsible for the minutiae; his job is trawling through old news reports and other archives. When it is decided that someone shouldn't exist, doesn't exist, each and every record from birth right up until that final betrayal has to go.
The younger generation aren't really sure what it is that Tanner does or, more accurately, what it is that he has done. But Tanner has helped to close down national newspapers, the demolition and destruction of institutions, of hospitals, factories, schools and libraries, with the disruption of families, of whole communities, of tradition. But none of this is a part of the truth and he is just an old man with a black marker.
The rhetoric hasn't changed over the years and Tanner is perplexed by this. Whilst the system has evolved, is constantly evolving, those who oppose it are forever locked in a relentless fight and it is futile. They are able to make themselves heard, yes, but only fleetingly and it seems to him that they are shouting into the void.
Tanner often finds himself thinking about the monolith in that old science fiction film. The film has been banned, of course, and so he hasn't seen it in years. And it isn't actually the monolith that preoccupies his thoughts but its surface, gleaming and unmarked.
Protesters and rebels, this is how they are referred to beyond the system. Those who have survived and are still out there, they are dissidents or exiles. Tanner has always been uncomfortable with these labels although he hasn't managed to come up with any that he feels are better suited. 'Those who oppose the system' is too clumsy but that is what they are. And they are still as virulent as they ever were, perhaps even more so and for that brief spell, until they are uncovered, just as vocal.
Tanner remembers the names and also their former occupations. He remembers the carpenter and the school teacher and the plumber and the doctor. The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker. He remembers what they once were, what they should have been.

Q: Updating woocommerce_calculated_total after product pricing has been altered prior I've been using a role-based price adjuster to discount products by 5%.
I want to be able to round the figure to the nearest 0.05 after the discount is applied, I've been able to achieve this on the product page and shop page using:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_price_excluding_tax', 'my_custom_roundoff_product', 100, 1 );
add_filter( 'raw_woocommerce_price', 'my_custom_roundoff_product', 100, 1 );
function my_custom_roundoff_product( $price ) {
$round_num = round($price / 0.05) * 0.05;
$price = number_format($round_num, 2); // this is required for showing zero in the last decimal
return $price;
}
So 7.45 with a 5% discount gave 7.08, then with this code it has rounded the value to 7.10.
My problem is when I get to the cart or checkout, say I add 3 of these products, it will give me the price of 21.25 instead of 21.30. I'm guessing it is doing 7.08 x 3, then applying the rounding function, whereas I need this to be the product's set price before the multiplication.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Tempelj Kijomizu (清水寺, tempelj Kijomizu-dera, »tempelj čiste vode«) je budistični tempelj v vzhodnem Kjotu na Japonskem. Tempelj je del zgodovinskih spomenikov starodavnega Kjota (mesta Kjoto, Udži in Ocu) na seznamu Unescove svetovne dediščine.
Zgodovina
Kiiomizu-dera je bil ustanovljen v zgodnjem obdobju Heian. Do leta 778 je bil v lasti budistične sekte Kita-Hosso pod vodstvom Enčina Šonina. Bil je duhovnik iz Nare (prestolnice Japonske od leta 710 do 784), ki je prejel vizijo o izgradnji templja ob izviru Otova.
Leta 798 je šogun Sakanoue Tamuramaro izboljšal lokacijo z vključitvijo velike dvorane, ki je bila sestavljena iz palače cesarja Kanmuja (vladal 781–806). Cesar je zapustil Naro zaradi močnega vpliva, ki so ga imeli budistični samostani na tamkajšnjo vlado. V tem obdobju je bilo močno rivalstvo med templjema Kofuku-dži in Kijomizu-dera in oba sta imela močan vpliv v regiji.
Sedanje stavbe templja so bile zgrajene leta 1633, gradnjo je naročil Tokugava Iemicu. V celotni strukturi ni uporabljen niti en žebelj. Ime je dobila po slapu v kompleksu, ki se zliva z bližnjih hribov. Kijomizu pomeni bistra voda ali čista voda.
Prvotno je bil povezana s staro in vplivno sekto Hossō iz časov Nare. Vendar pa je leta 1965 prekinil to povezavo in njeni sedanji skrbniki se imenujejo člani sekte Kitahossō.
Danes
Drzna odločitev naj bi bila »z namenom, da skočim z odra Kijomizuja« (思い切って). To se nanaša na tradicijo iz obdobja Edo, ki pravi, da se mu želja izpolni, če bi preživel 13-metrski skok z odra. V obdobju Edo je bilo zabeleženih 234 skokov, od katerih jih je 85,4 % preživelo. Praksa je bila prepovedana leta 1872 ko je prefektura Kjota izdala dekret, ki je prepovedal »skakanje z odra« z utemeljitvijo, da je to fevdalna razvada, in sprejela ukrepe, kot je postavitev ograj.
Tempeljski kompleks obsega več drugih svetišč, med njimi svetišče Džišu, posvečeno Ōkuninušiju, bogu ljubezni in »dobrih parov«. Svetišče Džišu ima par »ljubezenskih kamnov«, postavljenih 10 metrov narazen, med katerimi lahko osamljeni obiskovalci poskušajo hoditi z zaprtimi očmi. Uspeh pri doseganju drugega kamna z zaprtimi očmi implicira, da bo romar našel ljubezen ali pravo ljubezen. Enemu je mogoče pomagati pri prehodu, vendar to pomeni, da bo potreben posrednik. Romantično zanimanje osebe jim lahko pomaga tudi.
Kompleks ponuja tudi različne talismane, kadila in omikudži (papirnata sreča). Lokacija je še posebej priljubljena med festivali (zlasti ob novem letu in v času obon), ko dodatne stojnice napolnijo dvorišče in prodajajo tradicionalno praznično hrano in spominke množicam obiskovalcev.
Leta 2007 je bil Kijomizu-dera eden od 21 finalistov za novih sedem čudes sveta, vendar ni bil izbran. Med obnovitvenimi deli v okviru priprav na olimpijske igre leta 2020 je bil tempelj v celoti pokrit s polprosojnimi gradbenimi odri.
Arhitektura
Kijomizu-dera stoji ob vznožju gore Otova, ki je del gorske verige Higašijama, ki dominira nad vzhodnim Kjotom. Od leta 1997 pokriva površino 242 m². Objekti imajo kamnito podlago in so leseni. Od glavnega vhoda v samostan - vrata Nio - vodi cesta do glavnega templja. Ob poti so Zahodna vrata, trinadstropna pagoda, zvonik, knjižnica suter, ustanoviteljev tempelj in tempelj Asakura. Vzhodno od glavnega templja so Šakjamunijev tempelj, Amidin tempelj in Notranji paviljon. Južno od glavnega templja tečejo trije potoki "slapa Otova", ki je dal ime samostanu. Južno od slapov leži Brokatna oblačna dolina. Za njim sta hčerinski samostan Taisan-dži, namenjen molitvam za uspešen porod, in majhna trinadstropna pagoda. Na severu glavnega templja je Paviljon dosežkov. Celotno ozemlje samostana je spremenjeno v park.
Glavna dvorana ima veliko verando, podprto z visokimi stebri, ki štrli čez pobočje in ponuja impresiven pogled na mesto. Velike verande in glavne dvorane so bile zgrajene na številnih priljubljenih lokacijah v obdobju Edo, da bi sprejele veliko število romarjev.
Pod glavno dvorano je slap Otova, kjer trije kanali vode padajo v ribnik. Obiskovalci lahko zajamejo in pijejo vodo, za katero verjamejo, da ima moč izpolnjevanja želja.
V popularni kulturi
Kijomizu-dera je ena najbolj priljubljenih tem v japonski klasični literaturi. Romanja in samostanski obredi so opisani v Dnevniku svetovalca' Fudživara no Mitinaga (1021), Sei-Šonagonovi Zapiski ob vzglavju (začetek 11. stoletja) in Murasaki Šikibujeva Zgodba o Gendžiju (1005). V Novih in starih zgodbah (začetek 12. stoletja) je predstavljenih deset del, ki govorijo o čudežih Kijomizu-dera. Osrednje delo je posvečeno revnemu dekletu, ki je po zaslugi molitev samostanskega bodhisatve Kannona prejelo bogastvo, srečo in dobrega moža. Nova zbirka starih in novih japonskih pesmi vsebuje dve pesmi v hvalnici Kijomizu-dera.

As a moderate, I am quite concerned that cheating the system to rig districts and deny the ballot to your opponent is becoming acceptable standard practice. So much so that the apparent governor-elect in Georgia openly cheated and treated it as a badge of courage ("Georgia governor's race: Kemp resigns as secretary of state, Abrams points to uncounted ballots," Nov. 8).
If a candidate from my party (and I don't have a party, I'm independent) is under indictment but still on the ballot, I would definitely vote for him or her unless the person's proven actions in office were contrary to my expectations. The reason being is that an indictment is not a conviction. Should it progress to a conviction, another member of my party would likely be named as a replacement. Why would I vote for the other party's candidate who doesn't represent my point of view?
On the other hand, this is just another example of why everyone should join with me in abandoning the two-party system that seems to be this nation's biggest roadblock to being great again. | {

More and more people use mobile devices to access web content, so the demand for mobile-friendly websites is ever growing. To meet this demand, the establishment that manages the universal top-level domain extensions, ICANN, launched the dot MOBI extension in 2005. The first registrations were started in September 2006, and the notion behind this extension is that all websites that use it need to comply with specific requirements. In other words, all dot MOBI websites must be designed to be accessed faultlessly by mobile devices in agreement with the so-called "MWI Best Practices for mobile content" created by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in cooperation with the dot MOBI Registry organization. These have to do with how a website is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), and so on.
The restrictions have provoked some questions because the TLD is the only one that specifies what devices has to be able to access a website and the way in which this should happen, breaking the so-called principles of device independence, according to which a website should be built in such a way as to be viewed by the majority of browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.
Taking into consideration that the .MOBI Registry does not register domains directly, you can order a .MOBI domain with any 3rd-party firm, such as ours. If you have an already registered domain, you can also move it over to our firm if you obtain its EPP transfer authorization code from your present registrar. If you do that, you'll be able to handle your domain(s) and hosting account from one and the same place – our Hepsia Control Panel interface.
For total control of your .MOBI domain names, make use of our custom-built Domain Manager, which is available in our Web Hosting Control Panel. Host Mates allows you to effortlessly update the WHOIS data or the DNS records for your .MOBI domain names. Locking & unlocking them will be incredibly easy too.
If you order one of our low-cost web hosting packages, you will be able to manage your websites and your domains at the same time without effort. | {

Turmoil at Iowa agency rose from complaint about toy
IOWA CITY (AP) — A complaint alleging that employees at Iowa's workplace safety agency used a toy banana to make sexual jokes triggered an investigation that led to the removal of two top officials, according to a copy obtained by The Associated Press.
The complaint, sent anonymously in July to Gov. Kim Reynolds and the state's human resources agency, the Department of Administrative Services, threatened that the information would be released to the media if the "disgusting" behavior wasn't addressed.
Both of the accused employees say the allegation was false, that the toy was actually a stress ball and that it was never used for sexual innuendo. But the complaint triggered a Department of Administrative Services investigation that cast a harsh light on the work environment inside the Iowa Occupational Safety and Health enforcement unit, leading to a management shake-up.
Supervisor Deborah Babb retired after the investigation concluded in October. The same day , Commissioner of Labor Michael Mauro terminated Babb's boss, OSHA director Jens Nissen, the state's top investigator of workplace deaths and injuries.
The complaint alleged that office assistant Dawn Chamberlain and OSHA consultant Ben Brightman routinely passed around a child's banana toy made of soft, stretchy material that they pretended was a penis and waved at passing employees. Uncomfortable colleagues couldn't complain because Babb joined in the horseplay, it alleged.
Chamberlain and Brightman said investigators ultimately deemed the allegation was unfounded.
"I had a hard time defending myself because the allegations were so absurd, so ludicrous," Brightman told the AP on Monday. "It throttles me that it's gone this far. I can't believe the allegations of one person can have this much effect."
Chamberlain confirmed she brought the banana to the office but said it was never used in horseplay.
The governor's press secretary declined comment on the handling of the complaint, which said it expected quick action given Reynolds' goal of making state workplaces harassment-free. A lawyer for Babb had no immediate comment.
The complaint was lodged during a hard-fought campaign in which Democrats were accusing Reynolds of mishandling sexual harassment cases inside state government. Reynolds, a Republican, won a four-year term last month.
The letter also alleged that several of Babb's subordinates had quit or transferred due to her management style, which included intimidating employees and playing favorites. It alleged that Nissen said he couldn't take action because Babb was protected politically by Mauro and Deputy Commissioner Pam Conner.
In a whistleblower complaint last month, Nissen wrote that two subordinates complained to him about Babb's management in July and that he reported their concerns and his own to Mauro. Nissen said Mauro told him he had spoken with Babb and that everything would be OK. He said Mauro was later upset when he learned about the Department of Administrative Services investigation.
Nissen alleges he was fired for speaking out about the unprofessional and hostile environment.
An Iowa law passed in 2017 requires agencies to release the "documented reasons and rationale" when public workers are fired, demoted or resign in lieu of termination. But a lawyer for Iowa Workforce Development said it doesn't have to provide the reasons for Nissen's termination and Babb's departure because Nissen was an at-will employee and Babb technically retired.
Mauro, one of the few high-ranking Democrats in Iowa's Republican-dominated state government, has said that he can't comment on personnel matters. The Iowa Senate last year reconfirmed Mauro, 70, as commissioner for a six-year appointment that runs until 2023.

Samsora Reflects On Princess Peach, Smash Conference United
By: Zachary Lange
After making one of the longest losers bracket runs in Smash history at Smash Conference United on Jan. 5-6, Ezra "Samsora" Morris made the short drive back from Port St. Lucie, Fla. to his home in South Florida.
He described himself as "mentally and physically exhausted" on Twitter the same night after the event. It's what happens when somebody, who is set on a mission to become the best, finishes just short of their goal in second place.
The next morning, it was off to school at a local state college to register for classes on the first day of the spring semester. Between balancing school, streaming and practicing for upcoming events across the country, the 20-year-old has a loaded schedule. Add in that he lives in, arguably, the best region in terms of skill for Smash players in North America and competes in smaller, local tournament regularly.
I sat down with him briefly to discuss Princess Peach, his relationship with his mom and what to expect at upcoming events.
Zachary Lange: A lot of people would categorize you as young and emerging. Is that fair? How would you describe yourself as a player?
Samsora: I would describe myself as an experienced player. I'm young but experienced because I've been competing since Brawl (2008). Even though I'm super young, I'm only 20 years old, I've been competing for quite a bit.
To describe myself as a player, as in, like what?
ZL: However you want, really.
S: I am a read based player and reactionary based player. As in, I react or try to punish a lot of things based on how fast my reactions are. And I try to put on a lot of pressure.
I like to play to where people who are watching me are having fun watching me.
ZL: For those who may not know, briefly describe your background in Smash?
S: I got started through my uncle. He had brought the game to me and we started playing a lot. He's the one who first started competing locally for a little bit.
And then after that, I started to compete. Took a break between 2010 to 2013 and then that's where I really started going to more locals, start playing more online in Brawl, start playing (locally)…I actually won my first local. Which is interesting. I won my first Brawl local. My first Smash 4 local and my first Ultimate local. Which is funny to me.
That just naturally transgressed to me competing (at events across the country) in Smash 4 and now Ultimate.
We're planning to Smash 2019 with our first entry into Ultimate.
Welcome @Samsora_ to #eUSMASH! pic.twitter.com/yFWTdMASoZ
— eUnited (@eUnitedgg) January 3, 2019
ZL: Talk about Peach as your main character in Smash Ultimate. Why her?
S: I love Peach because I love the fact that I can kick butt with a princess and not feel bad about it. Peach is one of my favorite characters from all the Mario franchise. I always used her in Mario Party, Mario Kart, Mario Golf…any type of Mario game.
I like how technical she is. The level of play that you have use her at, or that I have to display is very intriguing to me. Not anyone can pick her up, and I like the high skill barrier that she demands.
ZL: Many people described your losers bracket run at Smash Conference United as one of the more historic runs in all of Smash. What was working that day for you?
S: I really didn't want to get announced by my sponsor (eUnited) the day before and place really low. That was my main motivation. And I knew it, as a player, that I could possibly take the tournament or go really far.
And so throughout my matches I was actually really mad at myself that I had lost so early. I hadn't lost in pools over eight, nine months. It's been a while, so I wanted to prove to myself that I'm not an overhyped player, I can actually still compete with the best. That I'm still a top-8 contender.
ZL: I noticed that, almost like a switch was flipped. There was just that competitive edge to you. You were mean mugging man! You were angry, and I could tell you…
S: (Laughs) I was just mad!
ZL: You were pissed! When you get to that point. Does your game elevate to the next level for you?
S: It does elevate to the next level. I was watching myself play and I never played that like before. Just…straight confidence. I was just so confident in all my reads and hopefully I can use that at multiple tournaments.
Or maybe it's just a losers run thing? Because when I go to losers I actually feel threatened that, "Oh, I don't know how many more chances, I could actually get out the tournament." That's why I feel like losers is where I just best play at.
ZL: Your relationship with your mom is something that is really unique. You recently streamed with her and plan to make it a weekly event. What has she meant to your career?
S: She does everything for me. I would not be where I'm at. She books my flights. She reminds of everything I have to do. She is like my manager and I would not be where I am if it's not for her.
She's also very supportive, as in she always supports my stream and my gaming career. She always supports me at tournaments, always watching me there. Just sitting in my room watching me practice because she knows and understands how important it is.
I'm really appreciative of her.
.@Samsora_ finishes in second place at @SmashConference after an amazing run through the lower bracket!
The future is looking bright for Sam after his performance today! #StandUnited pic.twitter.com/bj16M9oZGA
ZL: You can play a game of Smash with three other people (or things) of your choosing, dead or alive, fake or fiction. Who are you choosing, and why?
S: First I'm choosing Jennifer Lawrence because she's my ultimate wife in life.
And then, do they have to be real people?
ZL: They can be real people or fictional characters. Really, it's open.
Samsora initially listed the character Ahri from League of Legends, but scratched that choice for two others.
S: Oh! I would choose Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse is another one of my favorite fictional characters. There's just something about me and Mickey Mouse and we just click together. I have so much merchandise it's just amazing.
I would choose Princess Peach. I don't think I need any explanation for that, she's just everything.
ZL: You can add one special ability to Peach's repertoire in Smash, but you have to give up one of her pre-existing moves. What would you come up with?
S: I would get rid of her (thinks for a moment), have you ever played Super Princess Peach? I think it would be such a great idea if they made her parasol into her kit.
She had a magic parasol in that game and it had a bunch of different powers, so I would replace her up B with the parasol and have it do different effects.
Maybe I'm at high HP (damage), and the parasol will do more damage. Or maybe I'm at mid percent (damage) and the parasol would go further. I think that would be a good change.
I also just love Super Princess Peach. It's my favorite game.
ZL: Finally, you're attending Genesis 6 and Frostbite 2019 in the upcoming weeks, what are your expectations and what do you look forward to most?
S: I really want one title, and I think I can do it with Peach in this game because she's really good. My expectation is top-5 or 4, but even then, I still want to be in grand finals. Grand finals is a good feeling that I barely got in Smash 4.
ZL: Would you say a rematch with MKLeo is something you'd really want?
S: Yes, I really want a rematch with him. I know what I did wrong, I think I could probably take it next time. | {

The fact that "heat rises" makes your attic one of the most important rooms to insulate in your home. As much as 25% of all energy loss can come from the attic, so if you insulate your attic alone you can see a change in your utility bills by as much as 15-50%.
When an attic isn't properly insulated you can potentially see ice dams, being caused by melting snow, being formed on your roof. When ice dams form, so will pools of water, and that water will over the course of many winters cause damage to your home. With proper insulation you can keep your roof healthier for longer and keep your attic freer from moisture which creates mold.
Many people with uninsulated attics simply use the space as a storage area. Once insulated, the attic becomes as warm, and comfortable, as any other room in your home. This means that you could finally create that home gym, office space, or hang out spot that you have always wanted to.

This guide to Mississippi universities that offer a PsyD degree will help you when it's time to pick the one that's going to be the right fit for your needs. You need the right information to earn your PsyD degree, and we can offer you that so you can get started toward practicing psychology. Besides your education there are other requirements you have to meet before you start your practice. Here's some of the main things you'll want to consider.
The highest graduation rate among colleges with psychology programs is Millsaps College, with 72 percent of its students graduating.
There are six schools in Mississippi that offer a psychology program that is master's level or higher.
You will need to have a criminal background check to become a licensed psychologist in Mississippi, and not all states have that requirement.
An oral examination is required in this state, and it typically lasts from 45 minutes to an hour for most licensure candidates.
Licenses are renewed every April, and in odd-numbered years the license renewal must be accompanied by proof that you have completed 20 hours of continuing education credits in the previous two-year period.
The Psychology and Neuroscience Department at Millsaps College gives you the opportunity to get your bachelor's degree in psychology. There are 10 psychology courses that undergraduates must compete for their major, and there is the ability to take a trip to Europe for course credit, as well. Many facilities throughout the state partner with Millsaps, which allows students there to intern in a number of locations. Doing this while completing a bachelor's degree is encouraged.
At the University of Mississippi, a four-year, 124-credit undergraduate program can provide you with a bachelor's in psychology. There are psychology and liberal arts courses as a part of this package, and there are research studies to participate in, too. Some of these can help to fulfill course requirements, effectively completing coursework and gaining practical experience at the same time.
There is a graduate program at Mississippi State University for clinical or experimental psychology. Students can choose either option, allowing them to focus on what is most valuable and important to them. A thesis is required in order to fulfill graduation requirements, and designing their own program track is also possible for students. This is a two-year program.
To practice as a licensed psychologist in Mississippi, you need to earn a degree first. Some people start out with an associate degree or even a certificate in mental health. That can help you get moving in the right direction, but it won't allow you to practice the way you want. Instead, you need to focus on getting your bachelor's degree as a first step. If that degree isn't in psychology, make sure it's in a field that's related.
While you're in your bachelor's degree program in Mississippi, you'll probably find that you have some opportunities to do research work at your university. That will give you valuable experience, so you want to take advantage of it. Undergraduates can get a lot of work experience when they work with and for professors. The most common way to do that is as a psychology research assistant.
After you get your bachelor's degree, then it's time to move on to your master's in psychology. The programs that were listed above, along with the same kinds of programs offered at other universities, can give you many different opportunities to pursue a master's degree. When you've completed this, it's time to get a PsyD degree. When you include your internship, expect that degree to take four to five years to complete.
You'll graduate, and then you'll be ready to work toward your licensure in Mississippi, so you can actually practice as a psychologist. There are a number of steps you'll have to consider in order to do that effectively. Here are the main things you'll want to be thinking about.
Two years of supervised experience is required in order to become licensed, which is common for most states and a requirement that is generally seen as expected. This is 4,000 hours, and if an internship is part of that it has to meet the requirements of supervised experience through the APA (American Psychological Association). While 2,000 hours of this requirement can be completed during the doctoral phase of education, at least 2,000 hours have to be completed on a post-doctoral level.
The initial application for Mississippi licensure must be filled out and sent to the Board, and you also must agree to a background check. This will look for criminal history, and will require you to be fingerprinted. You also need to provide a passport-style photo.
There are state psychology licensing exams that must be taken and passed. There is a national exam that is standardized, as well as a jurisprudence exam and an oral exam.
When all of these things are completed, you can get your license from the board. That will allow you to actually practice psychology in Mississippi, as long as you continue to fulfill continuing education credits and renew your license.
The median average pay for psychologists in Mississippi is approximately $81,000. The Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates a 4.2 percent growth rate in Mississippi throughout the next decade for all psychology professions, which is lower than the national average. However, psychology teachers are expected to grow at a rate of 15.8 percent, which is just a bit over the national average rate of growth in that category. | {

Kevin Hart and Tavon Austin start a friendly rivalry.
Every time you turn around, there's a new Kevin Hart movie or comedy tour circulating. As if he doesn't hustle hard enough, Hart also has time to release new episodes of his YouTube series What the Fit. Hart was joined by his friend and actor Scott Eastwood last year for one day of the Los Angeles Rams' training camp, and of course, they made their presence felt.
After being introduced by head coach Sean McVay, Hart heads to the front of the room and gives the team a lecture on "execution." After making a few on the spot jokes about the team, Hart and Eastwood headed to the locker rooms to gear up. Hart gets into a debate with another teammate, and reminds him, "Brother, I got my own sneaker. You got your own sneaker? Last I checked, you don't. Respect me bruh." Then, Tavon Austin confronts Hart for wearing the same number, number one, and a battle for the top spot hilariously ensues. The comedian continues to do what he does best, and eventually gets onto the field to run drills.
Hart looks minuscule next to the professional football players, but he keeps up with the workout. At one point, he races with Eastwood and defeats him, hitting a top speed of 20 miles per hour. Check out the hysterical episode below. | {

Rocket Pass 2 By The Numbers: Infographic
April 5, 2019 Max Parker Community News
Now that Rocket Pass 2 is officially in the rearview mirror, we wanted to take a look back at some of the more impressive numbers achieved throughout its lifespan. It ran just over the three-month mark at 99 days. During that time, players rocketed to new heights and surpassed many of the records set by the original Rocket Pass.
More players made it farther in Rocket Pass 2 when compared to Rocket Pass 1, and the total number of XP earned by the community was in the trillions! A select few players even made it to Tier 1000 and beyond. When it came to items, players expanded their garages with millions of Painted and (NEW!) Special Edition drops that came from the Pro Tiers.
Check out the incredible stats in the infographic below. Thank you to all who participated in Rocket Pass 2. We hope you enjoyed the unique items that were included in the Pass, along with the extra XP, and we'd love for you to let us know what your favorite items were on Twitter, Discord, and Facebook. We're excited to share more info about the future of Rocket Pass and Rocket Pass 3 next week.

It happens so quickly. One minute we have a frisky little puppy or kitten and then, before we know it, we are caring for a senior pet. One minute we're training them to go potty in the right place and making sure they have enough exercise. And, then the next, we're having them wear diapers to deal with incontinence and making trips to the vet to check on their aches and pains.
Arthritis: A senior pet may be stiff after lying down and have a harder time getting their legs underneath them. They may be less willing to go for a walk and may not play like they used to.
Corneal cloudiness: Also known as lenticular sclerosis, it's a bluish transparent haze in the lens of the eye that's common in older pets. It doesn't affect vision, but pet parents often mistake it for cataracts.
Deafness: This is the first sense to go in a senior pet. Owners will notice their pets may no longer greet them at the door as they can't hear them coming.
Senility: Many cats and dogs become senile in their old age. This can be exhibited as behavior changes, strange vocalizations and sleep disturbance.
Cushing's Disease: This is a condition in which the adrenal glands overproduce certain hormones. If your pet develops a pot bellied appearance, starts drinking large amounts of water and has skin problems, he could potentially have this disease.
Heart disease: Owners should watch for loss of stamina, coughing, discolored tongue (blue), and heavy breathing when at rest, which can be symptoms of heart disease.
Kidney disease: Symptoms include loss of muscle mass and drinking and urinating excessively.
Hypothyroidism: Signs to watch out for include weight gain and skin problems.
The good news is that, just like humans, our pets are living longer and staying healthier due to medical advances, excellent veterinarian care and better diets. To help keep your pets in the best health possible, visit your veterinarian twice a year for senior pet health checkups to help catch any problems. Early intervention may prolong your pet's life. This is really important as pets are good at hiding signs that they're ill.
In-between vet visits, be extra vigilant in watching for any health or behavior changes. This may include increased thirst or urination, loss of appetite or weight, stiffness, lumps, shortness of breath or uncharacteristic aggression. If you suspect your pet may have a health issue, see your vet immediately.
And finally, if you have a senior pet who has started to have frequent accidents, some extra home and furniture protection may save your sanity. Disposable and washable diapers help deal with random incontinence, while stain and odor removers will ensure that the mess is taken care of correctly. | {

The juwi AG, a planner and operator of more than 2,000 wind turbines worldwide, relies on the use of PROGNOS to detect anomalies in their plants at an early stage so they can take action straight away, therefore preventing downtime and production losses. This results in a reduction in maintenance costs and a more efficient use of their service teams.
With around 1,700 employees the juwi-group is one of the leading companies in the field of renewable energy.
Juwi entrusted us with the development of an application that provides the sales personnel with optimal support when creating and managing customer data and tenders during the knowledge-intensive tender process.
Resolto's application enables sales personnel to record customer data, configure systems in a 3D view and to create cost calculations and calculations of profitability in the online tool. The application puts the information together and generates a tender.
As soon as the tender has been created, all of the data that is relevant for further steps of the process are put together in an archive file and provided as a download. An integrated messaging and calendar function optimises the efficiency of otherwise very time-consuming internal communication between sales employees. | {

Randy Moss Reacts To His Son, LSU Winning National Championship
by Adam London on Tue, Jan 14, 2020 at 7:10AM
Monday night surely was one the Moss family never will forget.
Thaddeus Moss was one of Joe Burrow's favorite targets in LSU's College Football Playoff National Championship Game win over Clemson, catching five passes for 36 yards with a pair of touchdowns at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. It doesn't take a great stretch of the imagination to figure out where the junior tight end got his soft hands from, and his Hall of Fame father, former NFL superstar wideout Randy Moss, hardly could contain his excitement after LSU's 42-25 victory.
Full of joy!❤❤❤ https://t.co/RFvh9WeWbn
— Randy Moss (@RandyMoss) January 14, 2020
PROUD of deez boys!!❤❤ https://t.co/EPGJcXKn8m
It was a somewhat poetic evening for the Moss family as well, as Thaddeus explained after the game.
"It's crazy how everything comes full circle," Thaddeus said, per ESPN. "That was his last football game, he lost the Super Bowl here, and I was able to win a national championship here and have a big game."
Thaddeus soon could be in store for more excitement. While he didn't commit to anything after the game, an announcement regarding his 2020 NFL Draft status likely is on the horizon. | {

Roland-Garros is a tournament which stands out on the international sporting calendar, and is part of the heritage of its home country, France. Its legend began some 125 years ago…
The story begins in 1891, with the creation of the "French Clay-Court Championships".
The late 1970s and early 1980s were a magical era for tennis in general and Roland-Garros in particular.
Today, the tournament is fully deserving of its reputation as the world's premier clay court event.

Opened in June 2006, the Musée d'Arts et de Civilisations brings together the collections of the Musée National des Arts d'Afrique et d'Océanie and those of the ethnology laboratory at the Musée de l'Homme. Designed by Jean Nouvel in a vast public garden created by Gilles Clément, this museum develops the scientific missions of both museums, offering visitors a great range of activities.
The museum itself devotes more than 39,000 m² to the permanent exhibition of works representative of African, American, Asian and Oceanic arts and cultures. A themed section of over 750 m² focuses on universal existential questions (man's relationship with the invisible, powerful figures, the life cycle, wealth, exchanges and currencies, man's relationship with the natural environment, etc.).
Exhibitions on the 600 m² mezzanine present in turn different observations on one or more aspects of this heritage which have been too long little-known to the general public.

Located on the Place de Fontenoy, in Paris, the main building which houses the Headquarters of UNESCO was inaugurated on 3 November 1958. The Y-shaped design was invented by three architects of different nationalities under the direction of an international committee.
Nicknamed the 'three-pointed star', the entire edifice stands on seventy-two columns of concrete piling. It is world famous, not only because it is the home of a well-known organization but also because of its outstanding architectural qualities. There, you can find the UNESCO Publishing bookshop, which features all sales publications in stock, plus a large philatelic and numismatic collection, and a growing UNESCO-related gifts section.

Of the 936,000 prescription opioid addicts in the U.S. in 2011, about a third were between the ages of 18 and 25.
People in MO. with DUI/DWI are sometimes court ordered to participate at an alcohol or drug rehab center, usually when they are first time offenders and in lieu of other stiff penalties. While being sentenced with a DUI/DWI in Missouri often comes with large fines and even jail time in some instances, the criminal justice system is sometimes more prone to help rehabilitate the particular person rather than punishing them. Allowing individuals with DUI/DWI to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center as a substitute to other methods of justice has shown to be successful in keeping people in MO. out of the criminal justice system because of DUI/DWI in the future. | {

Q: How to convert a fetch return object to csv from a fetch API in C3.ai COVID-19 datalake? I am making some fetch API calls to the C3.ai COVID-19 datalake. How best can I convert that to a csv for easier reading? For reference, I am running the sample code below:
import requests, json
url = "https://api.c3.ai/covid/api/1/outbreaklocation/fetch/"
request_data = {
"spec": {
"include": "id,name,population2018",
"limit": 500
}
}
headers = {
"Accept": "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
response = requests.post(url=url, json=request_data, headers=headers)
fetch_object = json.loads(response.text)
fetch_object is now a python dict. But I would like to convert it to a csv. How do I do that generically? I could fetch one or more fields, as specified in the include field in the spec argument.
A:
def convert_fetchResult_to_Pandas(fetch_object, required_fields):
fetch_objs = fetch_result["objs"]
df = pd.read_json(json.dumps(fetch_objs))
return df[required_fields]
One can then call:
df = convert_fetchResult_to_Pandas(fetch_object, ["id,name,population2018"])
csv_string = df.to_csv()
A: Using pd.json_normalize(fetch_object['objs']) instead of pd.read_json(json.dumps(fetch_object['objs'])) may be worth considering, too, depending on what you're after. It'll flatten any nested dicts in the case objects and separate the variable levels in the column names with dots.
A: Consider trying the open source repo c3covid19. You can find the docs here. It is a non-official c3 covid19 data lake connection wrapper for python.
Install
pip install c3covid19
Run
from c3covid19 import c3api
cnx=c3api()
request_data = {
"spec": {
"include": "id,name,population2018",
"limit": 500
}
}
output=cnx.request(
data_type='outbreaklocation',
parameters=request_data,
api='fetch',
output_type='csv',
outfile='./output'
)

What kind of image education in the age of social networks?
In a world saturated with images, education becomes a determining factor to help young people (and the not so young) to go beyond emotions when they are confronted with viral content. Schools have a role to play in introducing young people to a thoughtful approach to images, especially as more and more very young children are exposed to social networks. An article from The Conversation.

In one world saturated with imagesIt is urgent that, faced with them, our responses go beyond the emotional. Indeed, without an analytical guide, it is fascination that prevails, especially since the images, taken out of their context, become viral, which makes their evaluation extremely difficult. All manipulations are then possible knowing that everyone can now daily not only look at images, but also reproduce and distribute them.
"Today's individuals are both viewers and viewed, but also producers and distributors of images, especially the youngest. In other words, they see and are seen, but, above all, they see and show, create photos and videos that they like to share. [The citizen becomes the accomplice of a society that shows to all those who want to see," summarizes the sociologist. Jocelyn Lachance in Terrorist images, the power of screens, the weakness of our word.
Jocelyn Lachance, "Les images terroristes" (Erès editions).
And even if the delinquency prevention law (2007) takes into account these different forms of interactions by punishing "the fact of making, transporting, disseminating by any means whatsoever and whatever the medium, a message of a violent or pornographic nature or of a nature that seriously undermines human dignity", the problem lies first of all in the fact that children, and many teenagers, are not able to distinguish these images.
The understanding, in the double sense that the etymology of "taking together" (Latin cum-prehendere) and the common sense, implies to be interested in the motivations of the authors of the image, to enter their modes of thought and action, and this comprehension is necessary to penetrate the symbolic space, at the same time open and resistant of knowledge.
Schools have a role to play in introducing young people to this thoughtful approach to images, especially since more and more very young children, from the age of 6 or 7 according to the YouGov survey on habits of the alpha generationYoung people are exposed to social networks. Images pop up on their screens unexpectedly and young people consume and relay them indiscriminately, without evaluating the messages that are offered to them and without taking into account the consequences of their sharing.
What the school does
The National Education has made media and image education a priority with the creation of resources to help teachers question the press and images. The Center for Media and Information Literacy (CLEMI), for example, distributes educational sheets to "enable students to learn to read, to decipher information and images, to sharpen their critical thinking skills, to form an opinion, essential skills for exercising enlightened and responsible citizenship in a democracy".
In this context, many classes participate in workshops during the Press weekBut all these actions tend to dissociate the "i" of "information" from the "i" of "image". This is undoubtedly due, in part, to the weight of the verbal in the institution.
The image in school is still at odds with the norms of teaching and classical pedagogy, based mainly on the written word where there is " predominance of signs and speeches of abstract intelligence on practical knowledge", as explained by the researchers Christine Delory-Momberger and Béatrice Mabilon-Bonfils.
It is also necessary to take into consideration the ambiguous place of media and information education (MIE) in the initial training of teachers, especially in primary education, given that MIE is not considered a teaching subject in its own right and that artistic practice has almost completely disappeared from training models.
However, image education must return to its value as an image or, to put it another way, move away from the linguistic skills that are constantly brought to the forefront, because they are considered essential for the professional integration of young people. Moreover, the polysemy of the image is still often put aside whereas it is a system whose subtleties communicate ways of seeing, of knowing, of understanding, but also sometimes of not understanding...
The impact of images on us and our children, interview with Serge Tisseron.
The image offers leads while leaving the students free to draw their own conclusions, and the teachers - traditionally holders of knowledge - are embarrassed by this loss of control. However, the opening of the school to this universe has very "political" implications, allowing otherness to become sensitive, and participating in this way in the education to citizenship essential to a life in democracy.
Understanding through practice
CLEMI recommends other approaches than language: through practice, indicating that it is by making images that we learn to understand them. In this case, the image becomes a method to approach the image in its fundamental "otherness". And if the school does not always have the desire and the habit of doing this, it is essential that it starts to do so insofar as today, for the greatest number of children, it is the only place where this education can be done. This is the position ofAlain Bergala who participates in the establishment of the Lang plan for arts in schools in the years 2000. For him indeed "[The school] has to do it, even if it means shaking up its habits and mentality".
He defends this experimental dimension of "learning by doing", which allows us to understand the visual codes in action, by testing them concretely. But this method is out of step with a school that is charged, as the philosopher Blandine KriegelIn his study of citizens' rights, he described his role as "inculcating common values".
The very equalizing teachings are in fact structured around a "common base of skills and knowledge" (SCCC), and a "common culture". And the transmission of common knowledge, shared with the individuals who make up the community, has a directly social and political function, the State plays its permanence in it and it is understandable that this mission of unity and cohesion is at the heart of "national education".
However, according to the sociologists Christine Delory-Momberger and Béatrice Mabilon-Bonfils This "political conception of knowledge and its status in the French educational and pedagogical edifice" has been experiencing a certain number of difficulties for the last forty years. The "school of knowledge", which defines par excellence the school of the Republic, postulates a universalist and rationalist model built on a principle of homogeneity and unity affecting both knowledge and teaching, the student and learning. And it is indeed this model that is more and more often put in failure in the current French school.
A citizen's education
At a time of disinformation and fake news, image education through practice allows children to appropriate this medium in a singular way, without passively accepting a given interpretation once and for all. It introduces this "indiscipline" inherent to emerging knowledge, not yet finalized and unstable, away from deferential listening and outside of established knowledge and wisdom.
This practice is sometimes risky in that it can give rise to unexpected and sometimes violent associations. But it offers a dynamic space for experimentation adapted to a reality that is always in motion. This exceptional space where transmission takes place through other means than discourse and knowledge - sometimes without discourse at all - is ideal for dealing with information that is like a living organism.
This transmission in a group class finally breaks with the increasingly solitary discovery of images on the Internet. It leads to questioning the way in which what we receive determines our choices and our actions and develops knowledge that is a source of thoughtful commitment. It prevents adhesion, without distancing which leads to accept and take back the messages without interpretation.
Faced with images, children must be taught to decentre themselves by introducing a plurality of points of view, questioning their nature as isolated extracts of a complex story and questioning their power of domination. Unfortunately, teachers still feel very uncomfortable introducing this ethic of looking when discussing information and media practices with students. Indeed, they themselves have not been educated in media and information and are paralyzed by the idea of dealing with difficulties related to live issues in society.
However, it is necessary to accept to bring into the school the informational universe of today's teenagers because "not knowing how to initiate a look at one's own passion to see, not being able to build a culture of the look, that is where the real violence begins with regard to those whom one delivers disarmed to the voracity of visibilities", according to the words of the philosopher Marie-José Mondzain.

This work describes a professional development initiative that was based on the graduate course, Mathematics for Teachers in Diverse and Inclusive Educational Settings (K-6), taught by Linda Metnetsky at Bank Street College of Education. The author wrote and implemented this professional development initiative for teachers in her former district: a large, middle class, suburban school district outside of Philadelphia. It consisted of six full day sessions, held from October through April during the 2004-05 school year. Eleven teachers from third, fourth, and fifth grades participated, and the impact of this professional development on two participants is the focus of this study. | {

We are updating our webpages with the term "mpox" to reduce stigma and other issues associated with prior terminology. This change is aligned with the recent World Health Organization decision.
Mpox is a rare disease that is caused by infection with monkeypox virus. Human-to-human transmission of mpox is thought to occur primarily through large respiratory droplets; but, it can also be transmitted by direct contact with body fluids or lesion material and indirect contact with lesion material, such as through contaminated clothing or linens.
Symptoms are similar to but milder than the symptoms of smallpox:
One main difference is that mpox causes lymph nodes to swell, while smallpox does not. The time from infection to showing symptoms is usually 7-14 days, but may range from 5-21 days total. Please visit the CDC website to learn more.
If you think you've been infected, please contact your health care provider.
CDC is closely tracking cases of mpox that have been recently reported in several countries that don't normally have mpox activity, including the United States. Learn more about the CDC response to mpox.
What is Mpox?
Mpox virus was first found in laboratory monkeys in 1958. It has also been found in various kinds of rodents and primates in Africa. It is a rare disease caused by the mpox virus, which is part of the orthopoxvirus family. Mpox is a milder disease and does not lead to the same level of disfigurement and death associated with smallpox, another orthopoxvirus.
Who gets Mpox?
Most human cases of mpox occur in central and western parts of Africa. The first human cases of mpox in the United States occurred in the Midwest in 2003 during an outbreak associated with imported animals. Other U.S. cases have rarely occurred among people who traveled to areas where the disease is more common.
How is mpox spread?
Close intimate contact with infectious lesions, bodily fluids or contaminated objects can spread the mpox virus. Mpox virus can spread to people when bitten by an animal infected with mpox or when they touch the blood, body fluids, or lesions of an infected animal or person.
What are the symptoms of mpox?
In humans, the signs and symptoms of mpox include:
pox lesions
swollen lymph nodes
One to three days after the onset of fever, a blister-like rash usually appears first on the face and then spreads to other parts of the body. The blisters go through several stages before they get crusty, scab over and fall off. People with mpox are contagious until all lesions have scabbed over and have fallen off the person's skin. The illness usually lasts for 2 – 4 weeks. In very rare cases, mpox can cause death.
How soon after exposure do symptoms appear?
Symptoms usually appear 7–14 days after exposure, with a range of 5–21 days.
How is mpox diagnosed?
Mpox is diagnosed through special laboratory tests on samples taken from people or animals suspected of having mpox.
What is the treatment for mpox?
Treatment consists of supportive care and relief of symptoms. There are few proven effective treatments specific for mpox, and treatments are being investigated. Once mpox infection is confirmed, isolation is important to reduce the spread.
How can I prevent getting mpox?
There are several steps to take to prevent getting or spreading mpox.
Avoid sexual contact, kissing or other intimate contact with people who have visible sores.
Avoid contact with animals that could carry the virus – including animals who are sick or that have been found dead in areas where mpox occurs.
Avoid contact with any materials, such as bedding, which have been in contact with a sick animal or person.
Separate infected patients from other people and animals who could be at risk for infection.
Wear proper personal protective equipment when caring for infected patients.
Wash your hands with soap and water after caring for infected patients.
Also, vaccines for smallpox and mpox might reduce the chances of getting mpox. However, the CDC provides recommendations about who should be vaccinated. For information about the vaccine, go to https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/considerations-for-monkeypox-vaccination.html.
Do I need to be concerned about my pets and mpox?
Some mammals can contract and transmit mpox. While there is much we do not know about animal transmission, the CDC has an excellent summary of animals and mpox: https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/veterinarian/monkeypox-in-animals.html
Q10:
How can I get more information about mpox?

The CDC is closely tracking reported cases and provides updates here: https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/response/2022/index.html
Mpox Education Recommended as U.S. Cases Continue to Rise
Although mpox is a rare disease, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) encourages continued vigilance as the number of reported cases in the United States reached approximately 20,000 as of Sept. 6.

Mpox: Do I Need the Vaccine?
CDC recommends vaccination for people who have been exposed to mpox and people who may be more likely to get mpox. People more likely to get mpox include: People identified by public health officials as a contact of someone with mpox, People who are aware that one of their sexual partners has been diagnosed with mpox recently, People who had multiple sexual partners in the past 2 weeks in an area with known mpox, People whose jobs may expose them to the virus (lab techs, etc.) For More information visit: https://www.health.mil/Military-Health-Topics/Health-Readiness/Public-Health/Monkeypox
Mpox: Get the Facts
Mpox is a rare disease caused by infection with the mpox virus. The CDC and MHS are tracking an outbreak of mpox that has spread across several countries that don't normally report mpox, including the United States. Health care providers are on alert for patients who have rash illnesses consistent with mpox. If you have a new or unexplained rash, which can look like pimples or blisters and may be itchy or painful reach out to your medical provider for guidance.

I want to change the filter system from my <a> tags to a more efficent space-saver for RWD SELECT tag and show/hide the html elements when the <option> is selected (change event ??).
Don't know if it is possible to do with minimal markup + js, or if I need a <form> and AJAX based solution to do it. (based on option value? maybe on change event?)
Any clues? Tried a few but I'm not on JS :( Thank you so much for the help.
P.S Edited with world's fastest solution thanks to BeNdErR:
<select id="mySelect">
<option value="all">Show All</option>
<option value="blue">Show Blue</option>
<option value="red">Show Red</option>
</select>
<script>
$("#mySelect").on("change", function(){
var value = $(this).val();
console.log(value);
if(value != "all"){
$(".filters li:not(." + value + ")").hide();
$(".filters li." + value ).show();

President Trump Pushes for Trade War on Japanese Imports
March 10, 2018 - News - Tagged: Fans, Industry, Japan, Merchandise, Politics
In a recent tweet, Trump criticized the United States ongoing trade deficits with Japan. Historically, the United States has imported significantly more goods from Japan than it has exported. Trump was harsh on his stance against the trade deficit, calling it "losing" and unfair to American businesses.
In his tweet, Trump proposed a trade war with nations he perceived as taking advantage of the US, calling the problem "easy to win". Trump specifically generated a proposal for harsh tariffs against Japanese imports in order to curb the deficit. Japanese anime and manga, major media exports for the nation, would be made significantly more expensive to obtain under the new proposal.
Some in the media industry criticized Trump's proposal, calling it potentially disastrous to certain parts of the American economy. Companies such as Crunchyroll and Funimation pointed to licensed anime works as the main source of income for conducting business in the United States.
Manga fans were particularly adamant to their opposition to the tariffs, stating that they were already broke enough as it is.
Trump responded to criticism by calling for more American companies to export their own anime to Japan in order to balance the deficit. Series such as Neo Yokio, RWBY, and Minions were given as some of the potential example export candidates.
The Environmental Protection Agency contested Trump's suggestion, saying that it would directly conflict with federal laws prohibiting the export of electronic waste.
"You can't just dump garbage like that on other developed nations and call it a day," stated an official EPA representative. "Hazardous waste must be disposed of properly and safely it order to prevent negative impact to the environment and human health."
Members within Congress also advised Trump to avoid actions which could damage American's relationships with its allies. Although some claimed it was already too late once Netflix began making live action adaptations.

Taking Stock of the Fidget Spinner Phenomenon
Now that the spinners craze is history, it's time to understand what exactly happened and what lessons can be learned
Dan Chen 11:2520.11.17
Figher Spinners
The story didn't start on a sunny balcony of a third-floor apartment in Jerusalem in the 1980s.
For daily updates, subscribe to our newsletter by clicking here.
Catherine Hettinger was spending a summer in Israel with her daughter. After seeing Palestinian kids throw stones at police officers, and since she was looking for something to play with anyway, Catherine came up with an idea for a toy.
Figdet spinners (Illustration)
A toy that "is designed to be spun on the finger to provide enjoyment" could offer an alternative to throwing stones and eventually put an end to the violence, leading to peace in the Middle East and making Catherine a bit wealthier.
A few years later, with a recognized patent in her hands, she went to pitch the toy to Hasbro, Inc., the toy company. The Hasbro people looked at Hettinger spinning her weird little frisbee on her finger but, apparently, they weren't too impressed. They turned her down.
Twenty-something years later, the year is 2016. Kids don't get bored anymore. They have smartphones and tablets, Instagram and YouTube.
When they want to play outside they go hunting Pokémons, the fastest mobile game ever to reach 50 million installs on Google Play. Out of the blue comes a new spinning toy.
Last December, Forbes declared: "Fidget Spinners Are The Must-Have Office Toy For 2017."
It took another two months until they made their first major appearance at the North American International Toy Fair in February of 2017, but it was only around April 2017 when spinners suddenly blew up!
By May 2, the 20 most popular items in the games and toys category on Amazon were all different versions of the fidget spinner. 20 percent of all toy and game units sold daily were spinners. People in the toy and retail industry were unanimous in saying that had never seen anything blow up so fast and so huge as the fidget spinners. By the end of June, estimates for the number of spinners that were sold in the world's 12 richest countries ranged from 20 million to more than 200 million.
Fidget spinners were not the first toys to blow up. A simple plastic hoop did it 60 years earlier.
25 million hula hoops were sold in only four months. Within two years, the number reached 100 million. Wham-O Inc., the toy company that invented and marketed the modern hula hoop gave away free hoops to get the buzz started.
A scene from 1994 film The Hudsucker Proxy, depicts how word of mouth helped the hula hoop catch on. On their way home from school some kids see a boy do his thing with the hula hoop and then they run to get one. They play with it. Then other kids see them and go get their own and so on.
Hula hoops became a signature example of a viral fad that spread throughout the population. The same happened with Rubik's Cubes in 1981 and with Tamagotchi in the late 1990s, both very popular games that spread by word of mouth.
What changed between then and now is the internet, social media, and smartphone with cameras. This is what caused the spinners to catch on the fastest.
Kids today don't need to see their friend or neighbor spin in order for the word of mouth effect to happen. They can see a complete stranger do it on YouTube or Instagram, amplifying the effect.
More than two million fidget spinner videos were uploaded to YouTube between May and July 2016. Today, there are more than six million online videos of spinners.
Because the fidget spinners are a toy that children discovered and shared on social media the demand came solely from word of mouth. No manufacturer or store or any marketing and PR efforts had anything to do with it.
This is a splendid example of the bass diffusion model and of the crucial role of word of mouth. A new product can do great with only the Q (= internal influence, which means word of mouth) and no P (= external influences like PR) whatsoever.
The sudden out-of-nowhere demand for spinners and the fact that no person or firm had a patent on it and that there were no licensing fees required pushed the toy retailers and manufacturers to rapidly produce and sell spinners.
Big Chinese factories, which perhaps previously manufactured smartphone accessories, started producing spinners in huge quantities, but many others started producing smaller amount using 3D printers
Small shops that were able to adjust quickly and stock the unbranded goods from wherever they could lay their hand on made a lot of money fast. So did individual entrepreneurs with seller accounts on Amazon.
A good example is Allan Maman, a 17-year-old high school student, who started 3D printing spinners in his friend's basement, making $350,000 within few months.
The spinners case is an extreme example of the short head economy.
In the last several years, since the appearance of social media, we are facing a change in the demand curve. The hits, AKA the blockbusters, on the left side of the demand curve are getting fewer and higher and the long tail on the right side of the curve—the big promise of the internet— is still long but most of it is so close to zero that it is embarrassing.
The Pareto 20/80 principle, a symbol for the unfair distribution of anything, is something that we now look back at with Lust. In the "short head" era it is more like a 90/10 or in some cases a 99/1 principle. We would give anything to get back to the just world of the 20/80.
On May 4, 2017, one day before the spinners officially reached their peak, Catherine Hettinger, who by then became known and famous for being the inventor of the fidget spinner, launched a Kickstarter campaign, trying to raise enough money to help her manufacture the original spinning toy.
On May 5th, the spinners reached their peak. From there it was a slippery slope all the way down to the museum of toys.
On June 18, after getting less than 1,000 orders and not reaching her funding goal, Catherine's project was abandoned.

In the fidget spinner case, the short head winners were the product itself and quite a large group of Chinese manufacturers, fast retailers, and online sellers.
Catherine Hettinger, just like most of us, will remain a bystander.

Time to reconnect: Kevin and Cynthia
Kevin and Cynthia's love story started with a letter.
In 1965, Kevin lived in Kent, England, where he worked as a solider for the British Army. Cynthia was training to become a nurse in a small parish not far from Kevin's military base.
Just before Kevin left for a year-long placement in the Middle East, he and his soldier buddies attended a holiday party. Cynthia was there, but her and Kevin never spoke.
Three months after the party, Kevin was stationed in Aden, Yemen, where an accident landed him in a local medical centre. While there, Kevin came across a photo with the name "Cynthia" scrawled across the back. The name on the back of the photo triggered his memory of the shy, beautiful woman he saw at the holiday party and he decided to write her.
Over the next nine months, Kevin and Cynthia wrote hundreds of letters to each other, learning they were both originally from the West Indies and shared the same opinions on philosophy and family.
A year after he first left England, Kevin officially met Cynthia in person. Dressed in a sleeveless, royal blue dress, she looked as stunning as he remembered. Cynthia and Kevin dated for just over a year before getting engaged and then married in London, England. In 1975, with two young daughters, they moved to Canada to be closer to Cynthia's family. They've lived in Toronto ever since.
As for who wrote "Cynthia" on the back of that photo, sparking their love story? They still don't know nearly 50 years later—call it fate.

So long April, hellooooo May. Saying goodbye to another month can only mean one thing: it's Street $ense time! We stayed local this week and turned to an insider for help with understanding an industry term that has become admittedly vague: financial advisor. Starting her career as an estate attorney turned director of financial planning, we thought Commie Stevens would be perfect to demystify what a financial advisor is and how to choose one. In true Commie fashion, she did not disappoint.
Q: What is a financial advisor?
A: "Financial advisor" has become a catch-all term to describe someone that provides advice related to money. Stock brokers, insurance agents, financial planners, accountants and investment managers all get lumped into this category. The term can be used to describe employees that work for large brokerage firms like Fidelity or Schwab or smaller Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) firms. So, the services provided can vary widely in scope. When choosing an advisor, this – or any other description – isn't as important as the services offered and if they're in-line with what you need.
Q: How do I choose a financial advisor?
A: Start by asking friends and family for recommendations. Peruse the advisor's website to scope out the services they offer and to get a feel for their approach. Then, call to schedule a meeting to see if they will be a good fit (it should be complimentary).
Q: What questions should I ask a potential advisor?
A: Just like any new relationship, before asking questions, you should think about what you're looking for and your deal breakers. Consider making a wish list of items for which you need guidance and a list of things that are important to you. For example, you might want an advisor who is willing to travel to you for meetings or that considers the impact of taxes when making investment decisions.
What services do you provide? If the response is "investment management" and you are trying to plan for college and retirement, then it's probably not the right fit. Refer back to your wish list and see how many items the advisor can check off.
Are you a Broker-Dealer or a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA)? This question will help determine the advisor's standard of care when making recommendations as they are regulated differently. Read RIA or Broker-Dealer: What's the Fiduciary Difference? before your meeting to help determine which structure is more appealing to you. The term "fiduciary" may ring a bell because the Department of Labor is working toward extending this standard of care across the broker-dealer space. So, in the future, this distinction may not need to be made but, for now, it's important.
What can I expect to pay in fees and/or commissions? What you want to know here is how much you can expect to pay all-in, including fees for financial planning services (i.e., retirement), investment management, underlying investment expenses, transaction costs and commissions that may apply on certain products. Total costs will vary based on a number of factors, some of which are specific to your situation and possibly out of your advisor's full control. So, be careful when comparing your costs to those paid by others. Ask yourself if the services being offered are worth the cost. This one is a personal decision.
Also, remember that relationships are personal on some level, even in business. So, while playing the role of interrogator, be aware of the connection you feel (or don't feel) toward the advisor and listen to your gut. | {

Man Leaves Evidence In Unflushed Toilet After Burglary (Photo)
Alex Scarr
A California man was arrested after his DNA was found in fecal matter left behind in the toilet of a home he allegedly burglarized.
Andrew David Jensen, 42, was arrested after forensic analysts determined the fecal matter found in an unflushed toilet belonged to him, according to KTLA. The burglary happened in 2016 but the evidence linking Jensen did not lead to an arrest until July 2017.
Local police responded to the scene of the burglary in Thousand Oaks, gathering evidence and any potential items that may contain the suspect's DNA. They then noticed fecal matter in an unflushed toilet in one of the bathrooms of the home and used that to gather a potential DNA sample.
Authorities at the scene took that sample of the fecal matter and submitted it to the Forensic Services Bureau of Ventura County for processing, according to the Ventura County Star. Once the DNA was extracted from the sample it was submitted to the Combined DNA Information System to look for a potential match.
The California Department of Justice informed local police that the fecal matter found in the toilet was a DNA match to Jensen, who was quickly arrested.
Ventura County Detective Tim Lohman told The Associated Press that this was the first burglary case in his memory in which fecal matter was the determining evidence.
"When people think of DNA evidence, they usually think of hair samples or saliva," Lohman said.
Jensen was arrested on suspicion of first-degree residential burglary, a felony in the state of California. Bail was set at $70,000.
Ventura County police used fecal matter found at the scene of a crime as one of the key determinants in capturing Marco Casillas, who was wanted for the 1997 murder of a teenage boy in his home after a botched burglary attempt, reports the Ventura County Star.
Casillas entered the home of Gail Shirley and used her 16-year-old son, Jake Bush, as cover to help him escape. When Shirley called police to report the burglary, she heard Bush's screams for help as he was stabbed by Casillas. Bush died from multiple stab wounds later that day.
The case remained cold for several years after Bush's death, as DNA testing technology was still under development. DNA evidence was found in fecal matter in a laundry basket, eventually leading to Casillas' capture and conviction in February 2017, after testing became available.
Casillas was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

On this day when the dead are celebrated and remembered with the ofredas of Dia de los Muertos or the liturgy of an All Souls' service, I thought it would be pleasant to recall the Legend of the Obedient Dead Nun. Nuns, of course, take vows of poverty, chastity, and, most importantly, of obedience. A nun's Superior stands as Christ's representative on earth and she must be obeyed as one would obey God Himself. It can be a most difficult vow to keep—particularly if you are dead.
IT was after she was dead, Senor, that this nun did what she was told to do by the Mother Superior, and that is why it was a miracle. Also, it proved her goodness and her holiness—though, to be sure, there was no need for her to take the trouble to prove those matters, because everybody knew about them before she died.
My grandmother told me that this wonder happened in the convent of Santa Brigida when her mother was a little girl; therefore you will perceive, Senor, that it did not occur yesterday. In those times the convent of Santa Brigida was most flourishing—being big, and full of nuns, and with more money than was needed for the keeping of it and for the great giving of charity that there was at its doors. And now, as you know, Senor, there is no convent at all and only the church remains. However, it was in the church that the miracle happened, and it is in the choir that Sor Teresa's bones lie buried in the coffin that was too short for her—and so it is clear that this story is true. The way of it all, Senor, was this: The Senorita Teresa Ysabel de Villavicencio—so she was called in the world, and in religion she still kept her christened name—was the daughter of a very rich hacendado of Vera Cruz. She was very tall—it was her tallness that made the whole trouble—and she also was very beautiful; and she went to Santa Brigida and took the vows there because of an undeceiving in love. The young gentleman whom she came to know was unworthy of her was the Senor Carraza, and he was the Librarian to the Doctors in the Royal and Pontifical University—which should have made him a good man. What he did that was not good, Senor, I do not know. But it was something that sent Sor Teresa in a hurry into the convent: and when she got there she was so devout and so well-behaved that the Mother Superior held her up to all the other nuns for a pattern —and especially for her humility and her obedience. Whatever she was told to do, she did; and that without one single word.
Well, Senor, it happened that the convent was making ready, on a day, for the great festival of Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe; and in the midst of all the whirring and buzzing Sor Teresa said suddenly—and everybody was amazed and wonder-struck when she said it— that though she was helping to make ready for that festival she would not live to take part in it, because the very last of her hours on earth was almost come. And a little later—lying on her hard wooden bed and wearing beneath her habit the wired shirt of a penitent, with all the community sorrowing around her— Sor Teresa died just as she said she would die: without there being anything the matter with her at all!
Because of the festival that was coming, it was necessary that she should be buried that very night. Therefore they made ready a comfortable grave for her; and they sent to the carpenter for a coffin for her, and the coffin came. And it was then, Senor, that the trouble began. Perhaps, because she was so very tall a lady, the carpenter thought that the measure had not been taken properly. Perhaps, being all so flurried, they really had got the measure wrong. Anyhow, whatever may have set the matter crooked, Sor Teresa would not go into her coffin: and as night was near, and there was no time to make another one, they all of them were at their very wits' end to know what to do. So there they all stood, looking at Sor Teresa; and there Sor Teresa lay, with her holy feet sticking straight out far beyond the end of the coffin; and night was coming in a hurry; and next day would be the festival—and nobody could see how the matter was going to end!
And then, Senor, before the eyes of all of them, Sor Teresa slowly began to shrink shorter —to the very letter of the Mother Superior's order and command! Slowly her holy feet drew in from beyond the end of the coffin; and then they drew to the very edge of it; and then they drew over the edge of it; and then they fell down briskly upon the bottom of it with a sanctified and most pious little bang. And so there she was, shrunk, just as short as she had been ordered to shrink, fitting into her coffin as cozily as you please! Then they buried her, as I have told you, Senor, in the comfortable grave in the choir that was waiting for her—and there her blessed shrunken bones are lying now. | {

The Indoor Cricket World Masters Series 2013 was hosted in South Africa. The tournament took place in the Gauteng province which is considered as the sporting hub of the African continent. South Africa has played host to a few major sporting world cups in the past, the largest three being the Soccer, Cricket and Rugby World cups, so they have developed a reputation for hosting fantastic world cups and they did so with the Masters World Series.

Dougherty: "When I Was Elected Mayor I Promised Accountability, With My Focus On Public Safety And Service To The Citizens"
March 22, 2011 By Dagger News Service
From Havre de Grace Mayor Wayne H. Dougherty:
We have achieved a lot over the last four years. When I was elected Mayor I promised accountability, with my focus on public safety and service to the Citizens. I believe in these very difficult times we are faring well in comparison to many other Jurisdictions. The City is economically stable with one of the major issues being the w&s fund. Our efforts at this time have been ongoing and we will continue to work through this difficult task of balancing this fund.
During these difficult four years we continue to do more with less which has been handed down with funds being cut by the state. This is Highway User Funds and Police Aid.
The City of Havre de Grace will survive these difficult economic times by the mere fact that we have employees who know who they serve and that is each and every Citizen of our Great City. We do have our work cut out for us, and we will continue to explore every avenue now and in the coming year to keep the City within a balanced budget with no tax increase.
john mcmichael says
I would totally disagree with the mayor. I see public safety in Havre de Grace as failing under his administration.This year alone the mayor appointed a council member to the board of public safety. That council member insulted the represenitive of the fire department and would not appoligize. So the Susquhanna Hose Company withdrew there represenetive from the board of public safety. The east side of the rte. 40 corridore is loaded with alot of substandard appartments that have burned down with some loss of life and the city takes an awful long time enacting a smoke and carbon monxide alarm incident. This year alone atleast ten apartments have been seriously damaged. One of those appartments is in the mayops back yard. Public safety what a joke ask Helen LOgan oh I forgot she is one who died in an appartment fire thank God for pubblic safety.
Aberdeen Proving Ground Jobs says
Politicians shouldn't use the words "I Promised"!
Edmund Picard says
I agree with Mr. Dougherty about the great city employees we are fortunate enough to have in the workforce. However, I would like to know what the Mayor's plans are for the future as opposed to a statement that doesn't really say much. No tax increase great, but what about the cost of water and other fees.
I feel the citizens deserve a debate between Mr. Dougherty and his apparent opposition Mr. Shank.
This has nothing to do about Mr.Shank or politics it is about safety and apparently renters,low income people, [eople on fixed inco,es and retired seniors in Havre de Grace lives are not worthy of consideration as far as having safe houseing io live in . This issue has been addressed by myself to the mayor and he has done nothing to insure safety. In fact I am still waiting for Mr. Millers appoligy to the fire company those who have to put their lives on the line providing fire and rescue for free to the city. Those who have to risk their lives trying to save lives in the very same unsafe fire hazzards the Mayor doesn't seem to care about.
Mr. John McMichael:
Sir, any suggestions for the voters of HDG? I have had issues with the Police Department that have been ignored by the Mayor that reflect your sentiments. I agree public safety is paramount and without that we as a town are lost. We deserve a leader not a politician.
With this present mayor and his agenda I see the final death throws of Havre de Grace. The down town district is no longer a viable business district. Being born and raised two blocks from downtown I see tne downtown area turn from the center of everyday life to too much booze and too many pawn shops and no new businesses that are capable of supporting the lives of everyday citizens. There are many issues this Mayor is willing to turn a blind eye to. In the end downtown will die as I once remember it and the available of booze and bullets always leads to a rise in the crime rate and then the property values in the community drops. It happened in south L.A. and large parts mof Baltimore.So forget public safety drugs, booze, and bullets will rule the day if thing keep going as they are.

Margin calls threaten Thornburg, Carlyle Capital
Creditors demand cash, collateral
Margin calls from creditors are once again threatening the existence of alt-A lender Thornburg Mortgage Inc., and a highly leveraged private equity fund, Carlyle Capital, is in similar straights as it faces margin calls from creditors worried about the declining value of the fund
Margin calls from creditors are once again threatening the existence of alt-A lender Thornburg Mortgage Inc., and a highly leveraged private equity fund, Carlyle Capital, is in similar straights as it faces margin calls from creditors worried about the declining value of the fund's investments in highly-rated mortgage backed securities backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The problems at Thornburg and Carlyle are the latest examples of how fears about declining home prices and rising delinquencies and foreclosures are affecting credit markets.
Thornburg's margin call problems began Feb. 14, when Swiss bank UBS AG wrote down by $2 billion the value of $26.6 billion in alt-A mortgages. That prompted Thornburg's creditors to press the company to put up more cash or collateral for its debts, which are backed by similar alt-A loans.
While Thornburg was able to raise enough cash and collateral to meet more than $300 million in margin calls it received in February, the lender has been hit with another round of demands and has defaulted on margin calls from creditors including Natixis Securities North America Inc., ING Financial Markets LLC, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and JPMorgan Chase Bank.
In a regulatory filing, Thornburg officials said Friday they have received nearly $1.8 billion in margin calls from creditors so far this year, and that $610 million remained outstanding as of March 6.
"These events have raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern without significant restructuring and the addition of new capital," the company warned investors, adding creditors had agreed to a temporary freeze on additional margin calls.
Although Thornburg said it had raised $488 million in capital, it acknowledged it could be forced into a fire sale of assets backed by adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) loans and was taking a $427.8 million impairment charge to reflect potential losses.
The company has said that fears about delinquencies in subprime loans have caused secondary market investors to under price securities backed by alt-A loans, even though loans Thornburg has originated have low default rates.
Thornburg uses the securities as collateral to borrow money. When their value drops, creditors demand that the company find more cash or collateral to cover its debts.
"The mortgage financing market's complete inability to differentiate and appropriately value superior AAA-/AA-rated mortgage securities from all other mortgage assets is as unprecedented as it is frustrating," Thornburg Chief Executive Officer Larry Goldstone said in a statement.
Thornburg said it would restate earnings for 2007 to reflect the losses it faces if it is forced to sell assets at steep discounts to meet margin calls.
The lenders' accounting firm, KPMG LLP, issued a letter saying Thornburg's financial statements for 2006 and 2007 "should no longer be relied upon."
KPMG said the financial statements "contain material misstatements associated with available for sale securities" and that its auditors' report "should have contained an explanatory paragraph indicating that substantial doubt exists relative to the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time."
In a similar but unrelated development, a private equity fund has been forced to sell billions in AAA-rated mortgage-backed securities (MBS) guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in order to meet margin calls.
Carlyle Capital announced today that its creditors have liquidated MBS that served as collateral for $5 billion in debt to cover more than $400 million in margin calls. Creditors who hold another $16 billion in MBS may liquidate them if ongoing negotiations fail, the company said.
The sales have flooded the secondary market for mortgages with securities backed by Fannie and Freddie, depressing prices and raising yields.
The Washington Post reported today that the founders of Carlyle Capital's parent company, Carlyle Group, are negotiating with a consortium of banks to keep the fund afloat.
The banks provided loans that allowed Carlyle Capital to leverage its cash investments by a factor of more than 30 times, the Post reported.
With that much leverage, declines in the value of collateral backing the loans can quickly trigger margin calls that exceed the amount of cash invested in the fund, which the Post said totaled $670 million at its inception in August.
In an attempt to ease the credit crunch in financial markets, the Federal Reserve announced Friday it would increase the amount of short term funding it available to banks through an auction process this month to $100 billion, up from $60 billion in January and February.
The term auction facility (TAF) offerings allow banks to borrow money at low interest rates that are determined by competitive bids. The Fed said the auctions — introduced in December because banks were thought to be wary of the stigma of borrowing money at the discount window — will continue for at least another six months, the Fed announced.
The Federal Reserve said it is also initiating a series of 28-day term repurchase transactions, in which financial institutions may put up any securities, including Treasurys, agency debt, or agency mortgage-backed securities, that are eligible as collateral in conventional open market operations. The repurchase transactions are expected to total $100 billion this month, and could be increased "if conditions warrant." | {

Watch their performance on the BBC Website!
The Hereford Cathedral School Cantabile Girls Choir is an international prize winning Girls Choir and runners-up in the final of the BBC's Songs of Praise School Choir of the Year in 2014.
It was founded in 2008 by Jo Williamson, taking the best choir prize at the 2009 Herefordshire Festival just a year afterwards and is one of the amazing musical activities at the HCS Music School that the girls take part in.
They so impressed Blake when they provided backing vocals at the Courtyard in Hereford that they were asked back to perform two of their own tracks with Blake at Gloucester Cathedral in 2010.
Despite only being able to practice as a choir for about one and a half hours a week, and very few performances a year, they have continued to go from strength to strength under Jo's inspiring leadership.
They continue to build on their earlier success in reaching the BBC's Songs of Praise School Choir of the Year semi-final in 2012. In both 2013 and 2012 they won the International Senior Children's Choir competition at the renowned Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod and sang to a rapturous audience at the Three Choirs Festival, hosted by Hereford in 2012.

This dissertation, "The Sisterhood: Black Women, Black Feminism, and the Women's Liberation Movement" traces the development of second-wave Black feminism as an intellectual and activist tradition in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s. Drawing on published and unpublished literary and academic works and extensive archival materials including personal correspondence, I argue that a cohort of Black women novelists, poets, critics, and academics used their work and social networks to build a distinct Black feminist movement while simultaneously imagining and producing new possibilities for political and personal relationships with individual white women and the larger feminist movement.
This dissertation contributes to ongoing discussions in the fields of Black women's intellectual history, Black feminism, and women's studies in three ways: This dissertation contributes to these ongoing conversations in three ways: (1) by enlarging what has become a limited genealogy of second-wave Black feminist to include lesser-known and under-studied groups and women; (2) by illuminating the connections between the creative and political work Black feminists do including how Black feminists' creative work (e.g. poetry and fiction) is a crucial form of theorizing the development of a Black feminist tradition; and (3) by explaining how Black feminists were consistently in dialogue with white feminists pressuring them to expand the mainstream feminist political platform to be more inclusive and attentive to women of color's concerns.
This dissertation is a recuperative project but also an effort to examine the robust, multi-layered contributions of Black women outside of mainstream second-wave feminist and Black Nationalist organizations. Tracing the circuits Black feminists navigated in their activist and intellectual work helps us to better understand the contemporary moment and to critically appraise contemporary, popular invocations of Black feminism as descendants of a historically specific movement and moment of Black feminist creativity and activism.

It was well over 400 days since we lost Dan Escalante to an avalanche, but last weekend we finally had a memorial for him. Before I write about the heart wrenching, beautiful, stormy memorial let me start off with a lighter story.
Note: this piece was originally published in the Durango Telegraph. Banner photo of Dan Escalante by Braden Gunem (also published in The Climbing Zine, Volume 20)
This last weekend, in Crested Butte, I also returned to something I have missed dearly: speaking in front of an audience. I was nervous about this one – not because of public speaking, I really enjoy that – I was nervous because I didn't know if anyone would show up. Crested Butte has undergone some fundamental shifts in these last five years. After Vail Resort purchased Crested Butte Mountain Resort, the billionaires begun mixing in with the millionaires in Crested Butte, which has become a place where mostly only the rich can afford to live.
And while I might have a rich fan or two, the bread and butter of my audience is middle class working (or not working too much) dirtbag climbers. Much to my relief, the charming bookstore, Townie Books, started to fill up shortly after the starting time.
Publisher Emeritus Shaun Matusewicz telling a zine story. Townie Books in Crested Butte.
I don't need a huge audience for a presentation to be fulfilling, I just need an engaged one. My format is simple: I bring my favorite typewriter for a writing contest, I tell some stories, maybe read some poetry, and do a Q&A.
Coincidentally there were as many people from Durango as Crested Butte at the presentation, including two young climbers who are trail building this summer. They reflected on the stories we provide for their generation, as they are out adventuring and creating their own stories. That sentiment was perfect because we were celebrating hitting 20 volumes of The Climbing Zine. And, yes, a presentation in Durango is up next on the agenda, after a jaunt up to Lander, Wyo., for the International Climbers Festival. Stay tuned for details.
The day after the presentation, I attended the memorial for Dan. He died as most of my friends who died young have: adventuring in the mountains. Dan was not a close friend, yet he was a central pillar in our community, and even though it's been over a year, I'm still crying tears for him. I am crying as I write these words.

The first two hours of the memorial was the most intense display of grief I've ever witnessed in my entire life. I don't think I've ever cried so much, ever. Grown men and women weeping as they told their stories about him. Almost all the speakers said that Dan was their best friend. One person asked the audience to raise their hand if Dan was your best friend, and countless hands went up. I don't know if I'm doing the majesty that was Dan Escalante justice with my words, but can you imagine the integrity of a human being who had dozens of people that called him their best friend?
Dan was a very loving human being, and he was always there for his friends and family. Our friend Jayson noted that grief is just the love that we felt for that human being. I had to focus on my breathing as the tears choked me up when he said that.
And there we were, brought together by Dan one last time. Near the end of the speakers, the most intense rainstorm I've witnessed in years broke out. We were at the I-Bar in Gunnison, an outdoor pavilion, and that storm almost drowned out all the other noise. Dan was such a good man that even Mother Nature was weeping uncontrollably. As so were we. It was a fitting tribute to a man who loved time in nature, away from the crowds.
Though there were hundreds in attendance, I knew there were many more that would have liked to be there, including my dear friend Greg, who lives in Thailand. A few days before the memorial we caught up on the phone – it was morning there, birds a chirpin' in the background – and it was late night in Durango.
"It's always the good ones who die young, isn't it?" Greg reflected.
Damn if he isn't right. When I reflect on the ones that I've lost to the mountains, it is those human beings who aren't just talented athletes, but really good people. So many come to mind, especially Jeff Paffendorf and Bert Perry, who we lost last winter to an avalanche.
And what to make of all of this? For me, it encourages me to try to spread more love and be kind to more people; to close ones and strangers alike.
Our time here in these bodies is short. We are all flawed and imperfect. I know I am. That is why these rare gems like Dan Escalante are so hard to lose. They are one in a million. Beacons of light in a dark world. But just because we lose them, does not mean we lose that light. And we must try our best to embody that light and love in ourselves and for others.

The 102,000 square foot Baltimore Vehicle Processing Center (VPC) is one of the largest for the vehicle manufacturer who operates in 17 countries on five continents and distributes vehicles all over the world. Deliveries to this VPC are responsible for the Northeast and Midwest states, around 40% of the imports. The brand sold a record 2.4 million cars in 2017.
Care Security Systems drives security for one of the world's leading vehicle manufacturers.
Cost-effective, integrated access control management a high-profile Vehicle Processing Center.
Each day, from sun up until sun down, a steady stream of thousands of imported cars make their way down ramps of massive cargo ships. And on other days, the reverse happens with U.S. vehicles boarding large carriers to travel overseas. The location: The port of Baltimore's public auto terminals, the nation's largest port facilities for specialized roll-on/roll-off ships.
The Baltimore VPC is just one step in the manufacturer's logistics chain from receiving the vehicles, prepping them, loading them on to the vehicle transport carriers and delivering them to the dealerships where happy customers await.
Given such a large volume of high-value assets, not to mention a location right on the water, securing the Baltimore VPC was of top importance. Which is why the vehicle manufacturer turned to the experienced team at Care Security Systems to design a comprehensive security solution.
One of the first challenges was securing the access in and out of the VPC. The manufacturer has established a "valet service" at every VPC and plant marshalling yard where the dispatcher sends drivers out to bring the required vehicles to the trucking carriers, which prevents carriers having to enter the yard to find them. Care Security Systems installed wireless transponders in the valet drivers' vehicles, as well as access control points at the gate so authorized drivers can pass through the security gates quickly and easily.
As with all Care Security Systems projects, careful coordination was crucial to avoid disruption of existing operations.
Because each security solution is customized to the location and specific facility needs, there were a few stops and starts along the way with the Baltimore VPC. The complex network configuration and programming to integrate both the new and legacy systems was so new that even the manufacturer didn't have the required support expertise.
The new Baltimore VPC solution was so successful that the vehicle manufacturer contracted Care Security Systems to install similar security in its massive Southern California VPC, as well as security solutions in the vehicle manufacturer's locations throughout the United States. | {

for (String aFieldName : objectContentMap.keySet()) {
Object aFieldNameValue = objectContentMap.get(aFieldName);
if (aFieldNameValue != null) {
Field theClassField = this.instance.getField(aFieldName);
ReflectionUtils.makeAccessible(theClassField);
Class<?> classType = theClassField.getType();
if (!classType.isPrimitive() &&
GeneratedMessage.class.isAssignableFrom(classType.getSuperclass())) {
Method method = classType.getMethod("newBuilder");
// Since the method is static, the instance object that undergoes the call is not important, but with "null" I have a NPE...
Object builder = method.invoke(new Object());
if (builder instanceof Builder) {
Builder newBuilder = (Builder)builder;
InputStream asd = new ByteArrayInputStream(((String)aFieldNameValue).getBytes());
protoMapper.merge(asd, newBuilder);
aFieldNameValue = newBuilder.build();
}
}
theClassField.set(recreatedObject, aFieldNameValue);
}
}
This snippet works as intended, but my doubt is in the Object builder = method.invoke(new Object()); line since when I call static methods I've always put null as actual parameter.
In this scenario I've a NullPointerException.
Have someone any idea why there is the need of a instance in the invoke() actual parameter?
Thanks Dario.
A: The javadoc for Method says the Method.invoke method signature is:
"invoke(Object obj, Object... args)"
It also says:
"If the underlying method is static, then the specified obj argument is ignored. It may be null."
This means that your underlying method is NOT static. However you are checking to see if it is static it is not correct.

Stricker Goes Low Again
Despite Stricker's low scores, soft greens and excellent scoring conditions have kept the field close.
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- From its Ben Hogan trophy room to its status as the longest-running event at its original site, the Colonial Country Club is among the most venerable stops on the PGA Tour.
This week, the ol' course is playing like a pitch-and-putt.
Steve Stricker shot his second straight 63 on Friday morning, giving him a 14-under 126 total that set records for 36 holes and for any consecutive rounds at the Crowne Plaza Invitational -- yet was barely enough to top a leaderboard filled with players taking advantage of light wind and pillow-soft greens.
Tim Clark, Vijah Singh and Shaun O'Hair shot 64s on Friday and were lined up right behind Stricker: Clark was one shot back, Singh one more and O'Hair yet another.
Jason Day (65) was 10 under, Woody Austin (68) was another stroke back, and Ryan Palmer (63) was 8 under.
"The weather, for two days in a row -- well, all week since we've been here -- has been unbelievable," Stricker said. "Wind is what this course needs to get difficult, but we haven't seen it yet. ... I kind of like what's going on right now."
Clark's two-round total of 127 matched the previous best for back-to-back rounds set by Justin Leonard in '03. Singh's two-round total of 128 matched the previous midway mark set by Kenny Perry in 2005. And they're only good for footnotes because of Stricker's 126.
"I'd rather have the trophy," Stricker said. "We're only halfway through. I'd like to keep making putts. That solves a lot of problems."
Colonial members can only shake their heads at these scores, especially after undertaking course alterations that were supposed to make things tougher, not easier. Some West Texas gusts would help show whether they miscalculated or if it really is just the calm conditions.
The cut line was further evidence of how tame the course is playing. It was even par (140). To put that in perspective, par would've beaten Hogan the last two times he won it, in 1959 and '53; he was 1 under in all three of his other victories here.
"This course really rewards good play," Clark said. "It favors everyone."
Singh is here for the first time since 2002, having withdrawn right after criticizing Annika Sorenstam's spot in the field in 2003 then citing conflicts overseas for his continued absence.
He's been fondly welcomed back by the galleries and has made himself right at home. He's second-longest off the tee and has taken the sixth-fewest putts, leading Stricker in both categories.
"I'm really happy with the way I'm swinging the club," Singh said. "I'm doing everything pretty good right now. That's a good feeling."
He finds the conditions a little too good. He's hoping for some extra heat to firm up greens that he finds too soft and too slow.
"If you can hit the fairways, you can really attack the pin because you know they're going to stop," he said.
Palmer's low round pushed him up to seventh. It meant even more because this is home course and the gallery was filled with friends and family. He finished with a pair of birdies, capping it with a 16-footer that left him a bit emotional.
"To put on a show for them was nice, it was unbelievable," he said. "I've been waiting for this day to come for a long time this year."
Chad Campbell hurt his calf so badly that others had to brace him, then he went down to the ground, while playing the 17th hole. The Masters runner-up withdrew, and hopes to be healed in time for the U.S. Open in three weeks.
Rory Sabbatini shot 69 to make the cut by a stroke. Coming off a win at the Byron Nelson last weekend, he has a long way to go this weekend if he's going to join Hogan as the only players to sweep the Dallas and Fort Worth events in the same year.
Ian Baker-Finch won't be playing this weekend, not after six bogeys and a double bogey left him with a 78.
"That's just lack of play," said Baker-Finch, who hadn't played a PGA Tour event since the 2001 Colonial, and he missed the cut then, too.
The 48-year-old Australian left the television booth to tee it up again this week in celebration of the 20-year anniversary of his Colonial victory.
"Maybe when I'm 50 I'll be able to play on the Champions Tour," he said. "But I'm happy to get back to the booth." | {

Q&A: Richard Gammon
The director helms the Virginia Opera production of 'Madama Butterfly' at the Carpenter Theatre March 24 and 31
by Amanda Dalla Villa Adams
Photo courtesy Virginia Opera
This spring, Virginia Opera presents Puccini's "Madama Butterfly," the tragic tale of Cio-Cio San, a Japanese woman who falls in love with an American Navy lieutenant. For this production, New York-based director Richard Gammon, who studied at the New England Conservatory of Music and the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory of Music and Dance, makes his debut with the Virginia Opera. Gammon talks about the cultural significance of the opera, casting decisions and his journey as a director.
Richmond magazine: What was your introduction to opera?
Photo by Suzanne Vinnik
Richard Gammon: I started as a singer. I'm the son of [a Filipino] immigrant mother, and my father's American. I would just sing around the house, and my mom just encouraged me to do that. Really, a high school teacher discovered my voice singing in chorus. And then I did a very traditional conservatory training to become a performer. Then, one day … I was in an opera workshopping class, and one of the assignments was to self-stage your own aria. You come up with your own aria, you come up with your own environment, and a bunch of people started coming to me and asking if I would help them with that. I found that much more interesting than doing it myself, so I transitioned into directing pretty soon after that.
RM: Given the backlash in Hollywood against non-Asians playing Asian roles, why was Danielle Pastin, a non-Asian woman, cast as Cio-Cio San?
Gammon: [Laughs] I know this is one of the many questions you could ask me about. I totally knew it was coming. I have worked with Danielle in the past in a different capacity. She's a super wonderful person. The topic of race is so interesting in opera right now because opera has been seen as one of the art forms where, and I hate the word "colorblind" because I don't think it really exists, but for casting, opera has never really been that concerned about it. If you have an African-American father and then you have an Asian daughter onstage, no one really questions it in opera. With that being said, Danielle has a history with the company, and I know that they just have a really great relationship, and she is a wonderful Butterfly, and she has done the role before. But I did not have any say in her casting.
RM: How has being a Filipino-American affected how you work in opera?
Gammon: That's so interesting, it really is. Everyone is talking about this right now. I find it very, very important. Do I personally feel like I've had to go in a different route? I think so. I mean I don't know what it would be like to be a Caucasian director. I don't know what that experience is.
RM: Why Puccini's "Madama Butterfly?" What makes an opera written in 1904 relevant to today's audiences?
Gammon: I don't want to speak for the producers, because they're the ones that choose it. I can tell you why I think it would be interesting. In our current political climate, I think one of the topics of discussion is the "other." What this story does is it shows you the relationship between two people that are from completely different cultures, and then what Puccini does that's so interesting is that he tells the story through the "other's" eyes rather than his own, so I find that refreshing in a way.
"Madama Butterfly" comes to the Carpenter Theatre on March 24 at 8 p.m. and March 31 at 2:30 p.m. $16 to $120.

The 6pm game: Why the fuss?
One of the more vexed changes for the 2017 NRL Draw was the addition of a 6pm game on Fridays, which has drawn some support but also, in true rugby league fashion, plenty of pockets of outrage on social media.
It's pretty standard fare on Twitter for people to be outraged over something that a) hasn't happened yet and b) may or may not be a rousing success. But what are the pros and cons, and who is positively and negatively affected?
The criticisms seem to revolve around how tricky it may be to get to a footy ground for a 6pm kick-off on a weekday – meaning poor crowds for those games – or home to a TV, meaning poor ratings.
The demise of Monday Night Football, which was popular on Fox Sports, may be a blessing in disguise for the pay TV broadcaster as viewers of the new 6pm Friday timeslot may stick around on Fox for the 8pm Friday game rather than switching to Channel Nine. If it does prove to be a ratings disaster though, it's unlikely the pay TV host will argue for its retention. On that basis and given the potential upsides, surely it's an experiment worth conducting?
In the opening 20 rounds of the schedule (the final six weeks will be released at a later date), there are three weeks with no Friday 6pm game in the pre-Origin bye weeks, plus Good Friday, leaving 16 games starting at 6pm on a non-holiday Friday.
Of those, there are five matches (so, a third of all the 6pm kick-off games) that actually start at 8pm local time in New Zealand (four Warriors home games in Auckland and Hamilton and a Bulldogs home game in Dunedin).
Of the rest, three are at Moore Park (two Roosters home games and a Souths home game at Allianz Stadium) which is a short hop from the Sydney CBD.
No other venue has more than one: Belmore, AAMI Park, GIO Stadium, McDonald Jones Stadium, Pepper Stadium, Cbus Super Stadium, UOW Jubilee Oval and Brookvale Oval get one each – 11 of 201 games that start at 6pm local time.
"I can't get to the ground by 6pm on a Friday"
There will be people in this situation. There are also families with kids for whom an 8pm (approximately) kick off on a Friday night is simply too late, who will relish the chance to take the kids to a game and still have them in bed before 9pm.
Also not everyone works 9-5, Monday to Friday. There are shift workers, part time workers, students, people with rotating rosters who may find the time slot preferable.
If you work in the Sydney CBD then getting to Moore Park by 6pm is no issue if you're out anywhere close to 5pm. Plus if you're a Manly fan you've got games against the Roosters and Rabbitohs on offer that finish early enough to hand you a one-hour commute via ferry back to Manly wharf.
The Storm and Knights 6pm games are also easily doable for those on regular hours anywhere close to the CBD.
If you're a Penrith or Manly fan who works in the city you probably won't make it home in time to make kick-off for your one and only 6pm Friday game but on the flipside, if you work locally it will give you a rare opportunity to take the kids to an earlier game. Worst case, it's one of around 11 home games you'd have to sit out.
"I can't even get home in time to watch a 6pm game"
There will be people in this situation too. If you've got a long commute why not pick up the NRL Digital Pass and watch the first half on the bus or train to soak up your commute?
Failing that, record the game on Foxtel IQ (it is a Fox-only game after all) or even DVD-R or VHS and watch it later on. We did have delayed games on Friday nights for years.
Or if you really can't watch it live or at home or at the pub or on your phone or record it, then, worst case, there's still another seven games live on TV each week.
What's the worst case scenario? Say the crowds for the 11 games that start at 6pm local time, and ratings for the 16 games that start at 6pm Eastern time, are terrible? If so the fixture would most likely be reconsidered for the following year. No club other than the Roosters (who get two) gets more than one 6pm kick-off for a home game.
Some of the comments on social media – variously calling for those responsible to be sacked and/or beaten with a variety of blunt objects – seem like somewhat an overreaction. Let's just see how it goes. You might even like it. | {

Rangers win 7th straight behind Darvish gem
share-square-155151
T.R. Sullivan and Todd Zolecki
The Rangers have fought their way back to the .500 mark, while the Phillies continue their slide in the National League East.
Yu Darvish allowed one run in seven innings and the Rangers won their seventh straight with a 5-1 victory over the Phillies at Globe Life Park on Tuesday. The Rangers are now 20-20 on the season, the first time they have been at the .500 mark. The winning streak is the longest active in the Major Leagues but they have been able to gain just one game on the first-place Astros in the American League West during that time.
"The significance is this is the level we have to get to to get where we want to go," Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. "More than anything is the significance of continuing to win baseball games. I like the way we are playing."
• Darvish makes history with 50th career win
The Phillies were 11-9 on April 27, but have now lost 13 of their last 16 games. They are a season-high 10 games behind the Nationals in the NL East after managing just four hits against Darvish and relievers Alex Claudio and Matt Bush.
Phillies starter Jerad Eickhoff took the loss despite a quality start, allowing three runs, two earned, over six innings. Eickhoff was originally drafted by the Rangers before being one of six players traded to the Phillies for Cole Hamels and Jake Diekman on July 31, 2015.
"It definitely wasn't just another start," Eickhoff said.
Nomar Mazara put the Rangers up with his sixth home run in the first, and Mike Napoli gave the Rangers extra cushion in the eighth with a two-run shot.
"I'm really glad by the way we came back home and the way we approached the whole homestand," shortstop Elvis Andrus said. "We still got two more games, and believe me, our mentality is to win those two. So we're really feeling a lot better now that we're even. As a team, it's a great beginning for us, just to keep pushing that good momentum."
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Former teammate takes Eickhoff deep: Eickhoff never pitched for the Rangers but was facing a few teammates from his time in their farm system. Mazara was one of them, and he welcomed Eickhoff to Arlington in the first inning by hitting a 1-0 slider into the upper deck in right field to give the Rangers a 1-0 lead. The home run, Mazara's sixth of the year, had an exit velocity of 104 miles per hour, with a projected distance by Statcast™ of 444 feet.
"I was trying and looking for a pitch middle-in and try to hit it hard, and that's what I did," Mazara said.
Rupp throwing error costly: Phillies catcher Cameron Rupp's throwing error led to an unearned run in the fourth after the Rangers had Rougned Odor on second and Napoli at first with one out and Robinson Chirinos at the plate. Rupp tried to pick off Napoli at first, and the throw ended up in right field. The runners moved up one base, then Odor scored on Chirinos' slow grounder to third.
"I saw him in Spring Training. He was in the Minor Leagues, but in big league camp. I know he was a big-time prospect. He looks really smart."
-- Darvish, on Eickhoff
"He's got probably --arguably -- the best slider in baseball, in my opinion. When that's the first time a team sees him, it's got to be tough, especially the way he located it. It's a tough pitch to hit, even when you've seen him before. But when a team like us hasn't seen him before, it can be tough."
-- Phillies manager Pete Mackanin, on Darvish
SOUND SMART WITH YOUR FRIENDS
Mark Leiter pitched a scoreless inning for the Phillies in the seventh before giving up Napoli's home run in the eighth. It was his fifth Major League appearance. His dad, Mark Leiter Sr., made his Major League debut against the Rangers in Arlington on July 24, 1990, pitching 1 1/3 scoreless innings for the Yankees. That was at the old Arlington Stadium, and the Yankees lineup included Don Mattingly and Deion Sanders.
REPLAY REVIEW
After drawing a leadoff walk in the bottom of the fifth inning, Delino DeShields appeared to get picked off at first base by Eickhoff. Banister challenged the call, and it was overturned. Banister has been successful in his last six challenges and 11 of 16 overall. DeShields ended up scoring on Jonathan Lucroy's two-out double.

This model produced intermittently from 1937 - 1993, was Cadillac's most luxurious and exclusive owner-driven model for the majority of its production run.
The Sixty Specials were among the most expensive and exclusive cars Cadillac produced throughout their decades-long run.
While "Fleetwood" and "Brougham" were in circulation for decades among various trim lines of Cadillac's vehicles, in what year did the Fleetwood Brougham finally debut as a stand-alone model?
The Fleetwood Brougham name dates back to the company's acquisition of a coachbuilder named Fleetwood in the 1920s. In 1966, the Fleetwood Brougham was added as a separate model, accompanying the Fleetwood 60 Special, which continued through 1970.
This luxury model produced from 1936 - 1976 and again from 1984 - 1987 was Cadillac's longest-wheelbase model for most of its production.

Debate on City Charter Voting to Continue Through Summer
Allison Guinn Jun 14, 2019 at 3:30 pm
A recent City Commission decision to keep two controversial changes to Lakeland's city charter off this fall's election ballot could discourage citizens from participating on city boards, two commissioners said today.
"I'm going to include a motion Monday for us to include them all at the same time," Commissioner Scott Franklin said of a slate of proposed changes to the city charter, the city government's foundational document, which were created by an advisory board in 2016 and 2017. "The things that were substantive were yanked out."
Commissioner Sara Roberts McCarley agreed with the sentiment Friday at a commission agenda study meeting.
"There's a lion's share of work that went into this," she said, adding that "not listening is not really our role."
Both commissioners said they've heard from members of the Charter Review Committee who were discouraged that some of the most important issues they debated may not go before the public anytime soon.
Commissioner Justin Troller said he must have other contacts from the group.
"I'm not getting pushback so I guess we're talking to different groups," he said. As to the"upset" committee members, Troller said that goes with the gig.
"We don't always agree with committee reports and committee recommendations," he said. "It's no slight, there's no disrespect to their efforts."
The two controversial amendments: one would make it possible for the city to sell Lakeland Electric if it's approved by a 65 percent majority vote; the other tightens commission term limits from a potential 16 years to a hard 12.
Currently, Lakeland Electric can only be sold if 65 percent of all people registered to vote approve the change, a practical impossibility when considering small turnout for municipal elections.
The majority of the proposed changes are far less controversial, like one cleaning up outdated or inexact language in the charter, and another making the document more gender inclusive.
Mayor Bill Mutz said Friday he thought it would be a good idea to move the controversial questions to a later ballot so as not to confuse the issues.
"I'm ambivalent," Mutz said of the two big issues, but said he supported the two elections to "minimize confusion."
City Attorney Tim McCausland told commissioners this topic would linger through the summer as commissioners debate ballot language, amendment packaging and the other details necessary to see the amendments on the Nov. 5 ballot.
More conversation is expected Monday during a first reading of an ordinance adding the charter amendments to the ballot. A binding vote can happen after a second reading at the following commission meeting.
Another idea would be to break up the amendments into three items with the two controversial ones separated from the pack, Mutz said.
That's easy enough to do, McCausland said, adding the sky's the limit, but there are practical limitations.
"Why not have 50 ballot questions? The downside of that is people quit reading them," McCausland said.
The agenda study meeting was thinly attended Friday, with Commissioners Phillip Walker, Bill Read and Stephanie Madden out for the day. Agenda study meetings precede commission meetings and are used to discuss issues and hear briefings ahead of formal debates and votes. | {

Is Wall Street Being Too Hard on Amazon.com Inc.?
The Street punished Amazon after it reported earnings, but did the stock deserve the hit it took? Two Fools run through the numbers.
Despite solid growth, Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock has dropped quite a bit since its earnings call.
In this clip, Dylan Lewis and Sean O'Reilly go through Amazon's numbers for net sales, operating income, and earnings per share -- and why they weren't good enough for Wall Street. Also, our analysts look at Amazon's much-increased free cash flow and what the company seems to be planning to do with it.
Dylan Lewis: What do things look like for the quarter, Sean?
O'Reilly: Yeah, this is what, only their eighth quarter of showing GAAP profits for years?
O'Reilly: "What? Amazon? They're going to have a GAAP profit? I'm going to buy the stock!" For the full year -- these full year numbers are awesome. Operating cash flow, which everybody talks about Amazon's cash flow, so that's why I'm highlighting it.
O'Reilly: Right, yeah. Heck, GAAP profits were like ... they're a joke for anybody, but particularly for Amazon. Anyways. Operating cash flow increased 74% to $11.9 billion for the trailing 12 months, compared with $6.8 billion as of Dec. 31, 2014. Free cash flow for the full year was $7.3 billion, up from $1.9 billion last year. Even taking out the leased principal payments, all the machinery and that good stuff, it still came in at $4.7 billion. So, they're throwing off billions of dollars in free cash, and god knows Jeff Bezos is going to keep spending it on new initiatives, on drones and stuff. But that's fine. Anyways.
O'Reilly: And to your point, the Amazon truck that I took a photo of and showed around the office, it was there on a Sunday, which, the postal service isn't running, and they still want to get me my diapers for my son. And I know they were using it, because I was talking to Buck Hartzell upstairs, I think, and he noticed there were lots of Amazon trucks running around, just playing catch-up during the holidays. So, as of now, that's true. | {

There are a few reasons why you might want to visit London Bespoke Jewelry stores when you visit the city. They can be great places to look for a gift or to find something nice for your to take home with you. If you are in London, you should make sure to stop by one of them and check out what they have for sale.
Bespoke Jewelry is becoming more and more popular. Whether you are looking for an engagement ring or just something special for a birthday, they have it all. When you visit a store, you can see with your own eyes how pretty everything is.
It would be a good idea to schedule some time to shop in one of the London personalised Jewelry shops so that you know you will have enough time to look at everything. You do not want to be rushed, especially when it comes to picking our jewelry.
If you are rushed you might not pick out what you really want. You might feel like you have to pick something quickly and that would not be good. You need time to find exactly what would be perfect for you or the person you are buying it for.
You should check and see what time the stores open and close so you know when to visit them. You don't want to show up to a closed store. Make sure if you are planning to buy something that you know how you will pay for it and about how much you want to spend. It is better if you go into the store with some type of budget.
When you visit one of the personalised jewelry stores in London, make sure to spend time looking at everything. You never know what might catch your eye and what might be the best thing for you. You could see something you never thought you would even wear but it catches your eye for some reason. You also might find something for a gift that would be perfect for one of your loved ones.
If you are shopping for an engagement ring, you will have come to the right place. They have many different types to look at. You will probably be able to find exactly what you are looking for there. It would probably be a good idea to know what your girlfriend enjoys before you pick out a ring.
When you buy an engagement ring, you want it to be perfect. You want it to be something your girlfriend would love and something she might have had her eye on before. It might take some time to pick it out and that is okay. You should come back to the shop as many times as you are able to.
You should also know the correct ring size. If you don't, it might end up being too big or too small. You can either ask your girlfriend for it or try to guess. They also have ring sizers at the store.
If you are just visiting London and want to get a nice gift for you or someone you love, bespoke jewelry pieces make fantastic gifts. You can find a nice variety of gifts for anyone. Go into the store and remember what your budget is. Try to find all the items that are within your budget and pick out your favorite piece.
If you need help with anything you can always ask one of the workers. Those that work with the jewelry know all about it. They can answer any question you might have and direct you to the pieces you might like the most. They can be very helpful.
If you would rather shop by yourself, just let them know you are just browsing and look quietly. They will not be offended if you do not need their help. They are there just in case you do have a question or need some help with something.
Whatever you might find at the store is going to be a wonderful thing. Whoever you buy it for will really enjoy it. They will be so happy you found them such a wonderful piece of jewelry. | {

I will be returning to Australia for the 7th time In January for a 2 month stay. I will be staying in Melbourne while my wife visits with a Brother and Family. In the past I have gone on my own visiting such places as the mines at Coober Pedy, The Snowy Mountain Range on horseback and stays at Sheep Ranches.
The one thing that I have yet to do is experience the Aboriginal Culture. I do not want to walk through a cultural center or visit staged presentations (been there, done that). I would like a close up look at aboriginal life on a personal bases and to spend some time doing it. Can any one give me some ideas? I am not restricted to the Melbourne area and have the time to go by train, bus or even by air.
Try Google "Aboriginal Culture" - there are a few interesting sites which might be a starting point.
As there are/were literally hundreds of Aboriginal tribes/groups, there isn't one "Aboriginal Culture" per se; each area/clan/group will have their own distinct culture & customs.
A number of the tour operators, particularly in NT & the top end of Qld, have Aboriginal guides, and it might be worth a call to one of those companies to see if they can refer you to someone who could advise you.
It would probably help if you can outline what you have in mind.
They will be able to provide advice on access to the Aboriginal culture.
That's fantastic Miss B99, exactly what I hoped might be available for jdp0850 - but wasn't sure where to find it!
Would be interested to hear more about the course - where you went etc.
I did it about 4or 5 years ago (wish I could remember the name of the settlement!!)We were housed with the elders, several of whom were part of the stolen generation, and ate traditional foods (a lot of meat type things), had a number of yarning sessions, went and looked at the mounds which the Yorta Yorta people based a lot of their land claim on (evidence of settlement and continous use/occupancy of the land), visited a community controlled health service, took part in a corroboree (limited to learning a few "dance" steps such as the emu), had a number of the dreamtime stories explained. Since this experience, I never think of floods as destructive as it was explained that floods are to replenish the waterways and nuture the wonderful Murray River gumtrees.
There was quite a lot of walking to the mounds, relics, sacred places etc. No TV or flushing toilets.
We went to the town of Manyallaluk (aboriginaltouroperators.com.au/blackpages/nt/manyallaluk.html), south of Katherine, were we spent two days, being taken on bushwalks with guides, and learning how to eat traditional bush 'tucker' as well as some crafts. It was not at all a slick tour, just some fellows from town showing us around. I thought it was quite interesting.
We also went on the Lilla (Sweetwater) aboriginal tour, which is in Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon). While also very interesting, the 'town' of Lilla no longer exists, but is merely a small oasis that a few aboriginal descendents have made into a small low-key tour destination.
We have not done this, but friends have - visiting the Tiwi Islands, about 100km north of Darwin (www.tourismtopend.com.au/region/tiwi.htm). While not strictly Australian Aborigines, the Tiwi culture remains in a more untouched state, and you can go on multi-day cultural experiences there. Our friends were deeply impressed and touched by their 5-day tour that they took a few years ago.
Not much use for January, but others may be interested, the Dance and Cultural Festival at Laura, outback north Queensland is held every second June. This brings many Aboriginal communities together, people from Cairns, Torres St, Palm and Mornington Islands, Northern Territory etc. 2005 Festival which focused on indigeneous children is just over and was a resounding success. Laura is also famous for its ancient Aboriginal rock art. | {
