The Motley Fool’s Sean Chandler decides to find out.
“Apple Should Copy Microsoft’s Surface Pro 3” (tip o’ the antlers to @JonyIveParody).
Microsoft’s latest Surface Pro 3 has hit the shelves and I now find myself wondering if Apple will provide its own alternative to the larger, highly productive tablet.
Considering a rumored iPad Pro which is expected to sport a 12-13” display, it seems that it will likely happen.
Those in doubt must remember that Apple followed suit of the popular 8” tablet with the iPad Mini and is also readying iPhones with larger displays.
Uh, the Macalope’s pretty sure someone has to actually buy the devices before you get credited with making a market.
The Motley Fool: finding new definitions for “many” since … well, at least 2014.
Nnno. It really didn’t. And the sales to date show that.
Stop. Stop. Stop. It’s not a problem. Or, at least, it’s not much of one, otherwise the Surface would be selling better. If you don’t at least acknowledge this, then you’re just writing fan fiction.
Seriously, it just goes on like this. “People love the Surface!” No! The overwhelming majority of them don’t!
Sure, some people may buy iPads. An indeterminate number. Let’s say a few dozen.
… I find that it is mostly an additional luxury without being a compliment or replacement to many other products.
Ah. So, this is really all about you. Well, sorry to say it, but you’re not the whole market. You’re not even most of the market. You’re really not even a statistically significant part of the market.
Yes, I remember how Steve Jobs joked about an unwanted stylus when he introduced the original iPhone. However, I still believe that a stylus and tablet make a great combo and I’m not alone.
It’s not hard for me to imagine a tablet-dominated world where many people find their basic needs fulfilled by a tablet.
It’s not hard for you to imagine the world we live in? That’s … good.
Microsoft stated that 96% of the people who own an iPad also own a laptop and maybe this limitation is why tablets haven’t fully taken off yet. | 2019-04-21T23:17:32 | https://www.macworld.com/article/2449647/the-wildly-popular-surface.html |

The DZero high-energy physics experiment at Fermilab, an Open Science Grid user, typically submits 60,000-100,000 simulation jobs per week at 23 sites. The experiment's application executables make many requests for input data in quick succession. Due to the lack of storage local to the processing sites, up until recently much of DZero's simulated data had to transfer in real-time over the wide area network, leading to high latencies, job timeouts and job failures.
OSG worked with member institutions to allow DZero to use opportunistic storage, that is, idle storage on shared machines, at several sites. This represents the first successful deployment of opportunistic storage on OSG, and opens the door for other OSG Virtual Organizations. With allocations of up to 1 TB at sites where it processes jobs, DZero has increased its job success rate from roughly 30% to upwards of 85%.
Hosting storage resources is often tricky, especially for smaller grid sites, both in terms of hardware and professional expertise, says Abhishek Singh-Rana, coordinator of the Virtual Organizations group in OSG, which helps science communities achieve good results using the OSG. For this reason, the VO group negotiated with the larger OSG science communities, US ATLAS and US CMS, to allow other OSG communities to use their storage resources opportunistically. So far, DZero has used storage at six US-LHC Tier-2 sites, and is looking for more.
Work to improve DZero's job efficiency began in early July and by early August the experiment was producing about 3.7M events per week. By the second week of September, production reached a record 11.0M events, a 130% increase in its average weekly OSG production rate for the past year.
DZero's success demonstrates the OSG's commitment to establishing relationships with its user communities in order to benefit all members.
"We are committed to the goals of the OSG, and that includes the development of opportunistic resources," says Ken Bloom, manager of the CMS Tier-2 centers in the US. "When the OSG works well, all VOs can benefit. If we can help get opportunistic storage working for DZero, then maybe DZero sites will make some of their storage opportunistically available to CMS, and if we can make good use of that, the reward will be well worth the effort."
The OSG is continuing to work with its stakeholders and resource providers to improve the mechanism for using opportunistic storage. CDF and SBGrid have also expressed an interest in using opportunistic storage in the future. See the recommendations based on the DZero use scenario for how OSG sites can enable opportunistic storage.
DZero's push for storage local to processing nodes on the grid was pioneereed by Joel Snow, of Langston University and Fermilab. Snow studied the low efficiency (high failure rate) problem, determined that local storage elements would be the key for improving the efficiency, and worked with OSG to implement a solution. | 2019-04-20T04:48:20 | https://sciencenode.org/feature/isgtw-feature-dzero-first-consumer-opportunistic-storage-osg.php |
Looking for a more permanent lip enhancement solution? Lip lift procedure might be the right option for you. Lip lifting is a minimally invasive plastic surgery procedure that modifies the cosmetic appearance of the lips by reshaping them to balance the upper and lower lips or to increase their prominence. This procedure creates fuller and more distinct-looking lips. Dr. David Shamouelian, our highly-skilled facial plastic surgeon, has perfected the art of lip lift procedure to ensure appealing and natural-looking results.
Lip lift procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia. It takes about an hour to complete. During the procedure, Dr. Shamouelian creates an incision along the base of the nose. A small area of the skin will then be removed in order to lift the lip upward and to increase the extent of the visible pink in the upper lip. After detailed and patient specific adjustments, the incision is meticulously closed with sutures, which will are typically removed after about a week.
Most of our patients experience mild swelling for a couple days after their lip lift surgery. Any pain or discomfort can also be alleviated with medications prescribed by Dr. Shamouelian after the procedure. Most patients go back to work after about a few days, once the sutures have been removed. However, physical activities and strenuous exercises should be avoided for at least 2-3 weeks following the procedure. The full result will be visible within a few weeks after the scar has become barely noticeable.
Is Lip Lift Right for Me?
Lip lift is ideal for individuals of all ages with a long upper lift. Some patients are simply born with a thin, long upper lip and are great candidates for this procedure. However, most people acquire this look with age due to loss of skin elasticity and the long-term effects of gravity. It is also suitable for patients with “duck lips,” when the lips are pushed out as a result of long-term lip fillers. The procedure is designed to shorten the skin portion of the upper lip. If your lips are not as full as you would like and you have a long space above your lip, you will likely benefit from this procedure.
The cost of the lip lift varies depending on the patient’s individual needs. Full information about the procedure cost will be discussed during your complimentary consultation at Allure Aesthetic Surgery of Beverly Hills. We also offer various financial options and payment plans. For more information on the lip lift, feel free to contact Allure Aesthetic Surgery of Beverly Hills today at (888) 265-2335 or fill out our online contact form to schedule your complimentary consultation. | 2019-04-23T06:54:12 | https://allurebh.com/lip-lift/ |

Lenka Live in Hong Kong, Yeah!
Can’t believe I’ve really made it on the last moment.
It’s a bit short, only 1 hour and 15 minutes, but still what a magnificent show!
No more DIY, probably a Dell Optiplex (now is 990, not sure what’s after that) with 3-5 years NBD warranty.
Two Gigalan, one for Internal LAN.
Hopefully Dell will release an upgraded Optiplex shortly in December.
Just another good one from Veeam’s Anton!
In other words, if you don’t spot the corruption immediately, your replica will have absolutely no use. Consider virus infection, or application data corruption – both are very hard to spot immediately.
We perform application-specific VSS backup step when grabbing the image, as well as application-specific VSS restore steps upon failover (when replica VM is first started) as per Microsoft requirements. vSphere replication just picks up the image without looking inside or trying to meet any Microsoft requirements on how application should be backed up and restored. Exchange webinar goes into specific details using Exchange as example.
You decide how this is important for you, I know many customers love it.
SRM is great for storage-level replication and whole site failover orchestration, and our replication is great for smaller scope outages and better protection of individual most critical workloads due to multiple restore points. My take is that vSphere 5 replication is way to basic to provide replacement for our replication (especially with v6 functionality), but neither our v6 removes the need for SRM v5 in scenarios where storage-level replication and site failover orchestration are required to meet RTO and RPO in case of large scale site-wide disaster.
Of course, there is also huge price difference, but that does not matter for you since you already own SRM anyway.
Lenka will perform live in Hong Kong in Sept 29 (Thur) at the 九龍灣國際展貿中心 (KITEC-Rotunda-3), but HK$380 for 2:30 hours free standing is going to be hard for me, ops…so I guess I just skip it as I can’t queue up as early as 3pm that day like those young kids, too bad!

Lou is a courageous girl that does not wish to admit her fear of climbing. Just like everyone else, she feels as if her friends knew this fact, then she would be considered weird.
Her excuses for not wanting to join her friends up the tree are hilarious. Interestingly enough, her friends do not mock her or make Lou feel bad about herself for not joining them. By simply observing her friends and their display of how fun it is to be up there, Lou then decides to make her choice.
This is I believe the best part of the story. She makes the decision to ‘try’.
Sometimes in life, we are scared of certain things. Anxiety withdraws us from even wanting to try it. We may not even wish to confront this fear, however, until then, we will never know!

Mizuhiki (binding twine or paper cord decorations) were first developed and used in Kyoto in the Heian period (794-1185). They were originally used as a kind of hair decoration for members of the imperial family and court. Later in the Muromachi period (1333-1568), mizuhiki began to be used as a kind of gift wrapping, featuring red cords on the right and white cords on the left.
They came into common use in the Meiji period (1868-1912) as kind of decoration for weddings, funerals and other important life events. Both the gift wrapping and ceremonial decorative form continue to be used today. Highly professional skills and long experience is needed to make these decorations well and quickly. Kyoto has always been and continues to be the leading center for mizuhiki.
Decorative rittai-kazari mizuhikiThere are two basic kinds of mizuhiki. The first is the two-dimensional decorative binding twine, called hira-kazari, which is placed around thick, white washi paper money envelopes for weddings, celebrating the birth of a child, and funerals. The second kind are the elaborate and often brightly colored three-dimensional rittai-kazari, based on animal or plant designs, which are generally used only for weddings.

A video monitor stands on a pedestal. The screen displays the face of a person saying “A”. This “A” however soon turns out to be exceptional. It never comes to an end. The man on the screen ought to twinkle. He ought to run out of breath. But no! His eyes keep staring stiffly, and his face stays motionless like on a photograph. Nevertheless a never ending sound floats in space like a slight indication of eternity.
The work causes a conflict in perception. Here, it is impossible to decide how time should be comprehended and described. On the one hand, the spectator sees a completely frozen face, which seems to be paralyzed in the eternal present of the photo-optical exposure. On the other hand, time flows as usual in the steady and linear stream of the articulated sound. In addition, a subtle, almost unperceptible, artificial noise in the video image produces the impression of movement and change. Furthermore the psychological factor of habitual perception reinforces the presumption of video images being moving images. And really: In a technical sense it is a “real” video. The gap between the chaotic movement of the micoscopic pixels on the one hand and the frozen rigour of the entire image on the other hand, are accordingly mirrored in the sound. Its tiny modulations cause the impression of spoken words to rise. Its global uniformity however represent frozen time.
Strictly spoken no formal equivalence between image and sound is given at all. It is just a perceptual analogy. However, the perceptual level is especially important, because after a certain time of further contemplation, the mentioned contadictions are intensified by fatigue of eyes and ears. | 2019-04-20T18:24:11 | https://pascalfendrich.com/en/arbeiten/a/ |

According to the EPA, electronic waste is the source of up to 70 percent of the heavy metal in America’s landfills. The environmental issue is only part of the problem. Electronic devices pose a real security risk due to the presence of important proprietary data.
In response to a growing need for sustainable solutions, Covanta, known worldwide as one of the largest owners and operators of infrastructure for the conversion of waste-to-energy, formed a team of specialists dedicated to the safe, secure recycling of e-waste. ECOvanta, as Covanta’s e-waste recycling division was originally named in 2011 when it first began operation, was born. Since 2013 Covanta Electronic Waste Recycling has been a Sustaining Advisory Member of NERC.
All types of electronic equipment are recycled by Covanta’s electronic waste recycling division. From small household appliances, to large business servers, Covanta Electronic Waste Recycling works with communities, businesses, and organizations to recycle electronics the right way; keeping potentially toxic materials out of the waste streams and out of landfills while recovering valuable commodities for recycling. This reduces greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, saves energy, and conserves natural resources.
Covanta uses a combination of manual disassembly and an automated shredding system to separate materials into commodities for proper recycling. It works to eradicate the risk for data theft by removing the hard drives and completely shreds all of them in their state of the art shredder line.
Covanta Electronic Waste Recycling obtained e-Stewards, Responsible Recycling (R2), and ISO 14001:2004 certifications for its ECOvanta division after comprehensive accredited third-party audits. The company provides customers absolute and certain destruction of hardware that contains proprietary or sensitive data.
Covanta recycles more than 99 percent of the e-waste it receives and audits all of its downstream recycling partners to make sure they follow the same standards the company does.
The company also forms partnerships with municipalities and counties to establish permanent drop-off points or collection events for electronics and to complete the triangle of how EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) works between the municipalities and the manufacturers. Laws vary by state so the company pays attention to the detail required to track and audit where the electronics come from and where they go. For instance, some states require brand sorting, so Covanta Electronic Waste Recycling has the capability to sort items by brand. | 2019-04-19T07:03:31 | https://nerc.org/advisory-members/member-spotlight/2015/05/ecovanta |
Notwithstanding all the attention attracted by Anna Hazare and his team’s call against corruption, several hard-hitting legal, political and social realities cannot be ignored. Undeniably, Hazare team has succeeded in gathering thousands of people at Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan. It is also true that peaceful demonstrations have taken place in several parts of the country in support of Hazare team’s call against corruption. The seating capacity at Ramlila Maidan is approximately 50,000. The number of people displaying their support for Hazare has not crossed one lakh in any part of the country, except once or twice in Delhi and Mumbai. Statistically, the support from across the country for Hazare-team can at most be presumed to be that of few lakh people. With India home to 1.21 billion people, this number does not represent a significant proportion of the country’s population. And this raises the crucial question: -- who do Hazare and his team actually represent?
There is no denying that Hazare team has succeeded in securing substantial media attention. But so what as even numerical statistics of supporters behind Hazare are not sufficient to accord him stature of a national leader. Certainly, Hazare and his team have the freedom and right to raise their voices and also protest against issues they feel concerned about. They also, like any other Indian citizen, have the political right to suggest measures to correct problems they feel disturbed about. In fact, it is the duty of Indian citizens to draw people and government’s attention to problems they are aggrieved about. Corruption is one of the many such problems, which the entire country is concerned about.
Constitutionally, politically and socially, with the right to protest against corruption, among other issues, Hazare and his team also have the right to suggest proposals for correcting these problems. Democratically and legally, however, they do not represent any institution or authority to dictate their terms to an elected government. They are not legislators and are not from any angle representative of even a significant percentage of the country’s population or any segment. Raising the corruption issue is one aspect. The course being adopted to tackle the same is another. The latter, including hunger strikes, marches, “sit-in” demonstrations outside parliamentarians’ residences and other such activities, is not in keeping with the country’s constitutional fabric. The situation would have been different if India was not an independent country with a written constitution as per which it is a democratic and socialist republic. If instead of a democratically elected government, India was governed by a dictatorial regime, Hazare team’s fight against corruption may have been viewed as that of perhaps “rebels” quest for democracy. This is not the case.
With an elected government in power, the country’s legislators have authority to enact new laws and also amend old ones to rid the system of the corruption malaise. But when any group, as seems to be the course adopted by Hazare team, opts to “dictate” terms to them, it also amounts to abusing the democratic spirit of the country. After all, parliamentarians have been elected by the country’s voters. Statistically and democratically, the electoral prowess of the Indian voter holds far more value than that of several thousands collected together by Hazare team to apparently pressurize the government to yield to what they desire. Yielding to the latter would be equivalent to bowing to almost dictatorial commands of a handful of citizens, who do not have the authority to wield such powers. It would be an abuse of the country’s parliamentary system. It would also set an unhealthy precedent encouraging extremist elements to perhaps consider violence to pressurize an elected government to yield to their agenda.
Considering that India is home to many religions, castes, tribes, classes and regional communities, it may not be a difficult task for extremist elements of any group to excite their community members and follow the course that Hazare team is taking. If the government can give in to Hazare team, their logic would be, why cannot it yield to their demands? In other words, if an elected government yields to Hazare team, in addition to being an abuse of the country’s constitutional system, it would be an unhealthy and dangerous precedence, which must be nipped before it develops roots.
Irrespective of whether Hazare indulged in plain rhetoric or not, when he said: “If you (Prime Minister Manmohan Singh) cannot get the bill, I ask you to leave the chair,” the underlying meaning cannot be missed. Hazare is not above the country’s Constitution and political system to assume that he can ask the Prime Minister or any other person to quit office, if his conditions are not adhered to. The Prime Minister cannot be dismissed even by the country’s highest office holder, that is the President till he and his party lose support in the Parliament.
Against this backdrop, with their course of action being devoid of democratic legitimacy, it is time some attention was paid to what has prompted Hazare team to assume their role as greater than that of India’s constitutional system? | 2019-04-22T14:50:37 | http://www.milligazette.com/news/2171-hazare-team-lacks-democratic-legitimacy |
I spent 28 years of my adult life working in the automotive industry, its amazing how things look from the outside looking in. Brought in my vehicle for service, pulled up and sat in my vehicle for about 5 minutes, no one approached me, I looked into my old office of 15 years door closed while the service manager sat inside working or browsing the internet. So, I exited the vehicle, grabbed the rear door handle and opened it. Reached in and removed my walker, opened it up and proceeded towards the service consultant station, where he greeted me. I told him, special order parts were ordered and to check some other issues. He, didn’t ask me anything else or performed an inspection of my vehicle. This inspection, is helpful and will bring attention if any another issues are found or any prior body damage is found and noted in my presence.
I walked over to the front of the service drive where seats and tables are available for clients. There was a client, also waiting for her vehicle to be completed. I said hello and sat down, my name is Gus, whats your name, we shook hands and she said, Hellen. What type of vehicle do you owned? Hellen, told me how happy she felt with purchasing her Mazda 3 sedan from “Say it Mazda”, Hellen said it’s a CPO, certified per-owned. Hellen, explained and told me this wonderful story, about how God or this amazing spirit filled her heart with joy and said this vehicle is meant for you. So, Hellen got up and said I’ll take it. We both sat and talked for about 30 minutes, Hellen told me about how hard her struggles were because for the last 12 years, she fought very hard towards becoming a citizen of the United States Of America. Hellen told me about working and going to school and riding the bus everywhere, which she dislike very much. Hellen, told me how praying everyday gave her the confidence and faith things were going to change for the best.
Hellen told me how excited she was when she became a citizen of the United States Of America, at that moment her prayers had been answered and her struggles were less. Her face was so full of joy and her expression just told the story without saying a word. Hellen had asked me, did I have a back issue or why did I use a walker? I explained to her, it’s an illness which affects the muscles and motor functions. ALS, (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). Her expression, was one of confusion. Hellen said, I will look it up and read more about it to understand. So sorry to hear about what you are dealing with, I told her we all have are challenges and it’s how we deal with them which makes the difference. Your struggles and how hard it was, but never quitting on your dream. It’s the same with me, yes, I have this illness but I can’t quit now, because I’m making the best out of it.
At that moment, the service technician had pulled up her Mazda in the designated area, for quick service vehicle only. He greeted me, the service technician which I had hired many years passed. It was so good to see him, I said you look great. We both shook hands and told me the same. He than, greeted Hellen, because it turns out she was a sister of another employees’ wife at “Say it Mazda”. I said, what a small world, understanding I had also hired that employee as well. The service technician, reaffirmed and explained what was done, and how everything passed with all green marks. Hellen smiled and said thank you. Looking at me and smiling, so what did you do here?
It’s seems like everyone knows you, Hellen, I was the General Manager for “Say it Mazda”. Well, that makes sense now. I miss it everyday, the employees’, and especially the clients, being able to provide the WOW, factor in Sales, Service, and Parts completes the circle of loyalty. When I started 28 years ago, I had many goals and ambitions to one day own my store. This illness, has side tracked those ambitions and now looking forward towards a new chapter in my life. As you explained earlier, about praying and having faith I too have the faith and believe better things lie ahead for me and my family. Gus, I wish you the best, and that everything works out for you. Thank you, Hellen. It was very nice to have met you. Your repeat business, is appreciated and the best compliment to your sales consultant, would be a referral for a new or CPO purchase. Yes, Gus I understand. I will keep that in mind, great and make it a wonderful day.
So I sat, and waited for my vehicle to be completed. I was so full of joy, watching the sales staff interacting with their clients and vehicles being sold, I just sold another and hey, just sold one too. It made me feel happy and sad at the same time. Watching the sales consultants running back and forth, reminded me of the days passed, when I was the one running with them. Everyone seems so focused and determined, walking with their clients and only if I could read lips, how exciting who was that lucky person in the group. Watching the sales consultant, swing his arms back and forth with enthusiasm as he spoke with his clients. To be in the business, is to fully appreciate the efforts made when successfully closing the deal.
So, as I sat and waited for my vehicle to be completed, and while reading my book which I brought with me to help pass the time. I didn’t understand why every vehicle coming in for service, never had any kind of walk-a-round while gathering information. No, hoods being opened or tires being checked or any prior damage, such as door dings or scratches. No wiper blades being checked and it was raining, also head lamps and turn signals not being checked as well, many missed opportunities or what I would call preventive maintenance, ensuring optimal condition for our clients vehicles. It’s truly difficult looking at things from the outside in. Or maybe, in some way their service technicians are making all the appropriate measures? I don’t think so, well it was a thought.
There are many reason why, its paramount that all hoods are opened, fluids should be checked and the most critical are battery checks, every vehicle every time. Our clients will thank you, because a dead battery in the morning doesn’t start the day well. Preventive maintenance, should be the word used each and everyday in your service departments. When standing outside the window looking in everything looks different. No excuses, you have plenty of time. The key is consistently and making it a part of the process. For those service consultants making it a part of their process, nothing will be left to chance. Their worth just jumped up 150 percent. We all admirer hard work and paying attention to detail creates the WOW factor. And seeing it before your eyes, creates accountability for you and your store. The WOW, factor everything starts and finishes with you. | 2019-04-26T00:49:38 | https://thoughtsfromthefrontlawn.com/2015/06/29/looking-through-the-glass/ |

This interesting and unique surname is of Old French origin and is a Professional metonymic name for a singer in a chantry, a chorister or precentor. The origin is from the Old Norman-French “cant,” Old French “chant,” which means singing, poem. Professional surnames originally expressed the real profession of the named ancestor, and after that became inherited. Early examples of the surname contain a Richard Caunt (Huntingdonshire, 1357), William Cant, a resident under the Douglases in the barony of Aberdoure, Fifeshire, 1376 and Richard Cante, recorded in the Record of Arbroath Abbey, Scotland, 1485.

The four main devices (symbols) in the Cant blazon are the crescent, bend engrailed, mullet and dove. The two main tinctures (colors) are sable and argent.
The bend is a distinctive part of the shield, frequently occuring and clearly visible from a distance – it is a broad band running from top left to bottom right 9Boutell’s Heraldry, J.P. Brooke-Little, Warne, (revised Edition) London 1970, P 39-40. It can be further distinguished by embellishing the edges. The pattern engrailed is a series of scalloped indentations with the points facing outwards – and should not be confused with invected, which has the points facing inwards! Wade believes that both of these indented forms represent “earth or land”, and one perhaps can indeed see the furrowed earth embodied in them. | 2019-04-24T12:34:40 | https://coadb.com/surnames/cant-arms.html |

The Suit tries to engage its personal Hovering capabilities before Bradley (and itself) are dunked in the water.
The darkly garbed man sailed through the air, his body twisting and limbs maneuvering to aim his feet down when he landed, and extend his arms for balance. But there wasn't any ground beneath him when he impacted with the salty ocean water. A splash could be heard, then seconds later the ghoul-man began climbing out of the coastal waters, his hood pulled back to reveal his mask. Water trickled off of his undead features as though he were some long lost corpse rising from the deep to haunt the living that dwelled on the land.
OOC wrote: Or if N'KIE's hover kicks in: he "lands" with an eerie sense of grace, floating above the water like some wraith from the nether world.
"Lets try to finish this up before the police get in our way."
Bradley encouraged his comrades while releasing a strap that held his battle baton in palm. With a flick of fingers, the black robs slid out of his sleeve in into his hand. Then abruptly he rushed forward, coming to bear on the weather controller. The living dead man swung his weapon towards the man's stomach, and he didn't hold back.
The enforcer hovered in the air above the Ghost and his Armor. As the winds kicked started to swirl around him Lotus decided her time had approached, she let loose with a flurry of small three inch deadly blades, humming through the air to towards his outstretched arms and torso.
If these can disrupt his concentration, draw his fire then I will have served my purpose well. As she loosed her blades she ducked quickly back into the alley to conceal herself and force the enforcer to pursue to find her.
OOC: Full All Out Attack, and Full Power Attack, resulting in a net, +0 Accuracy, +5 Effect, and -5 Active Defenses. +14 (+10 Accuracy, +4 Attack Specialization Throwing Blades; +2 Aim Action; +2 Circumstance from Stealth) (1d20+18=33)DC: 26, additional +1 DC for every 2 the Attack beat opponents Dodge, maximum of +5. Penetrating. Then a Move Action back into the alley and into concealment.
Lotus's sudden attack catches the man by surprise, hitting him rather solidly in the back.
LDM finds himself hovering just above the surface of the water and is able to get back to land quickly and take a solid swing. This hits the enforcer solidly on the side, crumpling him to the ground. The dealer looks up in relief and gratitude before realizing he is probably next "Hehe, I surrender?" The enforcer is unconscious but the sky is still covered in dark clouds. Occasionally you can see a flash of lightning flicker between them and the wind is still whipping strongly. The air smells of rain to come, and soon.
With the Enforcer unconsious and the boost dealer surrendering Bradley pointed his battle baton first at one, then the other; as though it were some magical wand.
He waited for his partner to secure their prisoners before giving his baton a twirl and sliding it back up his sleeve.
"Grab them and go Galatea. You know where to meet us."
"Grab 'em and go? What are they, a bag of take out food?" Galatea mumbled as she gazed up at the sky while leaving the scene.
"I am not a meteorologist or anything but i thought there be clear skies once this guy was taken out."
After Galatea pulls away the older cop approaches you "Hey, you are supposed to turn them in to the nearest actual police!"
His younger partner runs over from near the buildings and says "Sir, we have a homicide 2 blocks from here. We are being called in for traffic control."
"Fine, just drop them off when you are done with him. You guys make more arrests than we do, damn commissioner riding us about it" he grumbles as he stomps off. His partner shoots you an apologetic grin as he runs after him.
Shells of distorted air settle over the Enforcer and he drug dealer.
LDM eyed the police officers, but said nothing, allowing them to speak their peace and walk away. He considered the news of a homicide briefly. It was likely ther perp had already left the scen and there was no help to give at the moment. N'KIE's observations drew bradley back to the matter at hand.
OOC wrote: We can probably buy some powerful sedatives between scenes.
Back at the red brick building Bradley encouraged Galatea to conceal her van in one of the warehouses nearby. There were also some empty containers they could move to get their captive contained. Add some chains and a padlock and you had some improvised prison cells. LDM made sure to dope the Enforcer too. It made conventional interrogation impossible, but fortunately they had Lotus for that. When all their prep work was done Bradley stood with him fellow crime fighters.
"You up to picking their brains Lotus?"
After storing the van nearby, Galatea found herself back inside the drab red building.
"...When we last saw our intrepid heroes, they were in their fortress of secrecy and busy finding cattle prods and performing mind rapes to gather information." she began in an flippant tone as she rummaged around the place for food.
"Will they get some answers? Will they solve the mystery in time? And why is Galatea monologuing? Stay tuned."
This man has protected those who would deal poison, this poison lures people in with promises of divinity, then claims their very souls. Those who would stem the flow of this poison must have the temerity to do what is required of them.
As she gathered her thoughts she looked down at the bound, and drugged form of the enforcer. An addled mind, a drugged mind was difficult to discern, the images were often clouded, and confused, but her need was great if they were to find the source of the drugs. With an indrawn breath she reached out her hand towards the mans face and concentrated. Sweat began to bead her brow, and the enforcer began to struggle. Lotus' voice was barely a whisper, but it thundered in the mans head.
"You may gather the winds, and the rains my friend. But those who stand before you are the heralds of a storm, a maelstrom that will wash your filth, and your poison from the streets. You cannot resist the storm, you cannot escape it. You must submit. You must bow to it, or it will sweep you before it, and destroy you."
OOC: Extra Effort, coupled with Untapped Potential, will allow Lotus to increase her ranks of Mind Reading by 3; to 13. Making his Will DC 23. She will be fatigued next round, but hopefully that will get us the information we require.
Bradley left Lotus to perform her interrogation without outside interruption. He remained within earshot in case she had need of assistance, however. While he waited, he watched Galatea rummage around. Given her earlier comments about food, he suspected she might still be hungry. With a raised hand he pointed to one of the offices.
"Theres a cooler with bottled water and some snacks in that office."
It is raining buckets by the time you reach the base and the wind is snapping smaller tree branches. Inside the building you can hear the constant pound of rain on the roof and a rumble of thunder every few seconds.
The first thing you encounter in the mans mind is a wall of red petals that almost stop your progress. You are eventually able to break through though but can constantly feel the press of the petals trying to push you out. The man is a low level enforcer for the Overseers tasked with dealing with the drug dealers they have allowed to continue operating on their territory. He deals mostly with Boost dealers representing an eastern drug cartel you can assume is the triad. He received his powers very recently during a deal gone bad and was responsible for a unexpected wind storm last week. He was tasked with sending a message to the triads representatives that the Boost rampages happening recently are causing problems with businesses they had bullied into their protection racket.
Just as Lotus finishes gathering information from the enforcer all of your phones give a notification beep and N'KIE feels a strong radio frequency sweep over the area. Analyzing the data you can tell it is a weather warning notification. A hurricane previously predicted to weaken and pass by harmlessly has strengthened and changed course to hit the city directly. An evacuation notice is being issued to the surrounding area but there is likely not enough time to evacuate everybody.
At hearing his phone go off LDM reached into his pocket and checked the burner phone he carried. Behind his mask he frowned. Great. After the message was read he tucked the phone back into his pocket and moved over to where Lotus was probing the enforcer's mind.
"Lotus, hurry up and finish your readings on these two. We need to drop them off at the police station. Then we'll probably need to help people in the storm." | 2019-04-21T23:02:09 | http://atomicthinktank.com/viewtopic.php?p=1049675 |

An ancient and powerful enforcer for the Council of Elders, Kar-Tor studied the teachings and mystic fighting techniques of the Cosmic Enforcers and knows how to instantly identify an opponents weakness. After his mentor, the original Zodac, left Eternia to fulfill the Eldors bargain with Trolla. Kar-Tor took his place on the Council and helped lead them in battle against the Snake Men, eventually trapping King Hssss in the void with the power of his staff. Although he prefers a solitary life of meditation in the mystic mountains, when he is called to battle Zodak attacks his enemies using all the power at his command. | 2019-04-23T07:59:51 | https://www.hemanworld.com/zodak/ |

Titles and honor and dignity once acquired in a democracy, even by accident and properly usable for only forth-eight hours, are as permanent here as eternity is in heaven. You can never take away those titles. Once a justice of the peace for a week, always "judge" afterward. Once a major of militia for a campaign on the Fourth of July, always a major. To be called colonel, purely by mistake and without intention, confers that dignity on a man for the rest of his life. We adore titles and heredities in our hearts and ridicule them with our mouths. This is our democratic privilege.
Titles--another artificiality--are a part of clothing. They and the [clothes] conceal the wearer's inferiority and make him seem great and a wonder, when at bottom there is nothing remarkable about him.
I couldn't gird at the English love for titles while our own love for titles was still more open to sarcasm. Take our "Hon.," for instance. Unless my memory has gone wholly astray, no man in America has any right to stick that word before his name; to do it is a sham, and a very poor sham at that. At the beginning of this century members of the two houses of Congress were referred to simply as "Mr." So-and-So. But this sham "Hon." has since crept in, and now it is unlawfully conferred upon members of state legislatures and even upon the mayor and city councillors of the paltriest back settlements. Follow the thing a little further. In England temporary titles are dropped when their time is up. The Lord Mayor of London is addressed as "My Lord" all through his year of office, but the moment he is out he becomes plain "Mr." again. But with us, once "Hon. " always "Hon.; " once "Governor, " always "Governor." I know men who were members of legislatures, or mayors of villages, twenty years ago, and they are always mentioned in the papers as "the Hon." to this day. I knew people who were lieutenant-governors years ago and they are called "Governor" to this day-yet the highest title they have ever had any right to, in office or out of it, was plain "Mr." You see, yourself, it wouldn't quite answer for me to poke fun at title-loving Englishmen -- I should hear somebody squeal behind me and find I had stepped on the tail of some ex-official monkey of our own.
An American girl would rather marry a title than an angel.
- Bishop Speech, written between 5 October and 17 October 1907. It is not known if the speech was ever delivered. Published in Mark Twain Speaking, edited by Paul Fatout.
We have a thoroughly human passion for titles; turning us into democrats doesn't dislodge that passion, nor even modify it. A title is a title, and we value it; if it chance to be pinchbeck, no matter, we are glad to have it anyway, and proud to wear it, and hear people utter it. It is music to us. | 2019-04-21T09:01:45 | http://www.twainquotes.com/Titles.html |
Can I Give My 3 Year Old Son Mucinex For His Cough And Tylenol For His Fever?
There are infant formulations for both these products. I couldn't say whether they should be combined in infants.

They do say, though, that they may not have captured all the interactions and you should always check with your doctor. | 2019-04-21T08:40:40 | https://www.healthcentral.com/article/give-year-old-son-mucinex-cough-tylenol-fever |

Some of these spaces get different people together for collaboration, while some of them has more focused, niche audience.
Although the number of coworking spaces in Istanbul is increasing every month, most of them are in similar business districts. So we cannot say that they are accessible in every part of the city. These business districts are Levent, Maslak, Ataşehir and there are a few spaces in Beşiktaş, Beyoğlu, Kadıköy.

Crime can in fact be titillating.
Who said crime could never be titillating? YouTube channel Rhino Stew definitely thinks so, judging from its latest video “ASMR Bank Robbery,” which is exactly what it sounds like.
For the uninformed, ASMR is “Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response,” which is a fancy term for the pleasant sensation some (but not all) people feel when they hear certain sounds. Imagine a highly sensitive recording of someone running their nails over your scalp or gently whispering into your ear. It’s sometimes regarded as a sexual thing, but it evidently also helps people with anxiety and mental health issues, although it’s never been scientifically studied. It’s grown from a cottage industry to something much, much larger.
You’ve got to admire the creativity on display here, including every other actor speaking in ASMR voice while bullets fly. Actress Jill Galbraith (Clickbait and On the Fence) absolutely nails the role of ASMRtist.
Parks & Rec star Aubrey Plaza got into ASMR back in March, playing with her hair, rubbing feathers on a mic, and whispering in a video for W Magazine for 36 whole minutes.
The Daily Dot’s own 2 Girls 1 Podcast got into ASMR too late last year. Hosts Alli and Jen talked to Gibi, an “ASMRtist” on how she broke into tingly audio work. | 2019-04-24T12:21:23 | https://www.dailydot.com/upstream/asmr-bank-robbery/ |

Admittedly, when I first heard about WikiLeaks, it happened to be when I got burned by it. Back when I was involved in partisan politics, I ran a training seminar on campus activism for conservatives. A member of OPIRG slipped in, lied about her identity, tape recorded the session and posted it on WikiLeaks. Some things said by the speakers were exaggerated or made in jest, but that didn’t stop a stampede to hysteria caused by out-of-context sound bites used by the media in what must have been a slow news week. And so it became a national story. I was pretty pissed, but I didn’t blame WikiLeaks. I blamed the person who committed fraud in an attempt to embarrass my association.
Since that time, WikiLeaks has transformed into a hobby horse for socially awkward anarchists with political agendas, like its founder Julian Assange. Recently, tens of thousands of documents were released pertaining to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and 250,000 American diplomatic cables were leaked, in what is possibly one of the largest U.S. security breaches in recent history. How such material was leaked with such ease is quite disturbing, but the reality is with technology these days it’s easier now than ever before.
While I am attached to my classical liberal predisposition to limited government, I cannot deny the realities of diplomacy and conducting foreign affairs. The world is a tinder box and the conduct of foreign policy is uglier and messier than any of us can imagine. Diplomacy is crafted behind closed doors for a reason; governments confront the dilemma of wanting to compromise while simultaneously needing to save face publicly to avoid angering their constituents back home. Broadcasting the intricacies of diplomacy will make this impossible and force governments to entrench their positions.
A prime example of this is Kennedy’s negotiations with Khrushchev to end the Cuban Missile Crisis. Kennedy got him to back down in exchange for dismantling NATO missiles on the Soviet Union’s doorstep in Turkey. This was kept secret to allow Kennedy to save face in front of a public that while afraid of war, did not want the United States to compromise in the face of what was seen as unprovoked aggression. Had this deal come to light in the midst of crisis, I don’t doubt negotiations would have been called off. World War III would have been a distinct possibility.
The reality is the public collectively does not have the ability to rationalize or pay any attention to a story beyond the superficial level. They are then easily swayed by fear spurred by a media driven in the pursuit of sensationalist headlines. There is a reason politicians communicate in sound bites. Efforts to actually explain the merits of an issue are deemed ineffectual in political campaigns. I think it is a tragedy that this is the case but it is an uncomfortable truth.
Public pressure does not force governments to think critically; in fact it is quite the opposite. When the stakes as high as they are with foreign affairs; when failed negotiations can lead to war and cost thousands of lives, this is unacceptable. Diplomats need to have the ability to do their jobs without fear of their words being taken out of context and plastered over newspapers across the globe. WikiLeaks and the unrestrained releasing of classified materials makes this impossible.
In addition to the possible impact WikiLeaks could have on diplomacy, it also is clear that there are national security implications for the United States – WikiLeaks has no filter and its founder has a stated vendetta against the United States.
Assange and WikiLeaks do not operate with the same accountability mechanism as traditional media sources. The latter refrain from publishing information that could compromise lives out of fear of losing sources close to the government. Assange, on the other hand, is free to extort governments by threatening the release of information if they take any effort to interfere in his organization’s operations. He has already released a list of vulnerable infrastructure sites around the world critical to U.S. national security; amounting to a wish list for any lunatic terrorist that can construct a simple homemade bomb with fertilizer.
What would happen if Assange got his hands on U.S. battle plans in the event of war? Or a list of American intelligence agents abroad? There is a very real concern that unrestrained distribution of leaked materials could cost lives, particularly when Assange is accountable only to his massive ego.
The most tragic thing about this whole case will be the aftermath. The United States government, among others, will learn lessons from this. Government agencies will no longer share information as easily, undermining many of the reforms made after 9/11 and will compromise their ability to operate efficiently – it’s hard enough as it is. There will also be backlash, causing the government to retrench and increase secrecy beyond what is actually necessary. Access to information is about finding a proper balance between public knowledge and the ability of the government to operate. WikiLeaks may well end up destroying this balance. Assange will undermine precisely the cause he claims to promote.
The truth is that getting rid of Assange will not solve the problem. When he falls, and he will fall, there will be another crusading anarchist to replace him. There is an army of hackers out there that can and will be bought by foreign governments and non-state actors to suit their own agenda. The United States needs to be more vigilant in guarding against security breaches and forms of cyber-terrorism, while providing a balance with the need to keep the public reasonably informed. This is, without a doubt, a challenge and it remains to be seen if the U.S. government is up to it.

Its been while not posted about the regulatory stuff as in the past I’ve frequently expressed concern that the legacy of Dodd-Frank will be to promote artificial consolidation of the banking industry by driving small banks out of business and making large banks even more “Too Big to Fail.” This is for two reasons.

I have a question. Since you are the developer of the magic mod for the P3 would you think it is possible to make the same for the DJI Spark? I am in a CE country so my Tx-power is throttled to a very low 14 dBm instead of the FCC 27 dBm. I hope you can make the tweak compatible with the spark! Thanks in advance!
I have done the magic mod. How do I no if it's worked. Is there anyway 2 check.
Hello Papa Tita In my P3S your program helped, am very satisfied, but 1000m is too little, the P3P wants to buy and it would be great, then the FCC mode with your help to activate. How can I increase the power of P3A or P3P TX (FCC) Can you do this?
Hello PapaTita! I had to get a hold of you as I am having trouble downloading the magic mod 5. I have a P3S. Followed the youtube, but noticed after i hit step one and it went through the program, i hit the "ok" button and then restarted. Then tried to proceed to step two, and it keeps telling me "cant telnet to RC" ??? also, do i need to change it to US as I am in the US? awaiting your response!!! Thanks!
also, all of my firewall is disabled.
pa aku habis upgrade software , lewat ftp, kook gimbal ku sekarang mati ya pa??
habis update firmware pakai cara bagaimana?
di FW 1.6.80 pake telnet di android kok g bisa konek? selalu refused.. mau downgrade masi bingung,. takut gagal juga. pendtng bru..
The problem was in the 13th channel on 1.7.9 If you choose to scan from 1 to 13th channel, and just when selecting the 13th channel, FCC mod US does not work. Those. if postavat REG = "US", it is impossible to put any tick about the 13th channel. Decided problems scan13.sh file, set the value of 11, and it worked.
If you turn on the console, the drone immediately and try to connect by Wifi to the console, the connection is lost. I got to change the region to telnet only, but still a master region Japan hangs. Maybe you can tweak your program?
Hi PapaTita, i have recently bought phantom 3 standard and i want to increase the range of controller. the program that you post is secure? someone has never found problems.
This program is more safe than you manual edits to the file system in P3S like Ojcze Nasz did.
Thanks in advance for windows mod app work!!!
I have one question, do you mod to 20dbm or 27dbm?
Do you know what happened with ozje?
Not always be at 27dBm, sometimes at 24 or 20 dbm to ensure the app runs well.
Ozje? i don't know, might be busy.
I've read all your interesting work about the "Phantom 3 Standard range mod" and i have a question for you.
Do you think that could be also possible to increase the video quality (Mbps) of the MP3 Standard? | 2019-04-21T20:42:09 | https://phantompilots.com/members/papatita.67594/ |

This song has an addictive quality to it because when I heard it for the first time I just kept on wanting to replay it over and over again. One of the reasons why I think I find the song to be so good is because the listener can tell that Barbara George feels strongly about the lyrics she is singing. This is evident through the tone of her voice while she is singing. The lyrics of the song are about how her lover no longer cares for her like he did before, and she will not stand for being with someone who does not love her anymore. I think this is a great message to send to females across the world because I am a strong believer in the fact that if you are not being treated the way you deserve, you should change your situation.
I feel the message of this song sung by Clyde McPhatter is to never let go of the one you truly love. I came to this conclusion because the lyrics of the song revolve around the singer begging and pleading for his lover to come back home to him. The singer sings about if his lover does not come back to him he will be left in misery. Despite the romantic nature of what he is trying to do which is to win his lover back, I feel that this song is desperate in nature. I could never see myself begging for someone to come back because I think that there must be a reason why he or she left in the first place. Also, when I was listening to this song it made me want to clap my hands to the beat of it, because it was so catchy.
Ever since I heard one of Sam Cooke’s songs played in class, I have become one of his number one fans. I think his voice is so magical and addicting that I just cannot get enough of it. His voice in this song is nonetheless no different. From the very beginning of this song I felt it had a jazz feel to it and I can picture the dance floor of a little jazz club being full of happy dancers. The song speaks about how individuals from New York like to dance the whole night through, more specifically they like to twist. This is a dancing song which automatically puts it in the category of being a feel good song, because there is never a time when you are dancing and do not feel great.
The mashed potato is an actual dance that has been danced by millions of people ever since the song was released. The lyrics of the song explain how it is the newest craze and how it is such a fun and exciting dance. I think songs such as these which come along with a specific dance were great for teenagers. The reason I think these songs benefited teenagers is because it gave them something to do with their time, instead of going out to cause trouble. My overall rating for this song is not too good because I did not find this song very intriguing. Once the song was complete, there was nothing I was able to say was original about it. Perhaps if the song was generally faster it would have been more exciting in my eyes.
While listening to this song by King Curtis, I could not help but think about a past experience that I went through because it reminds me of when I was at a wedding with my family. This song was playing while we were eating dinner while some of my family members were in an argument. I can state that listening to this song is what helped me get through the situation and still enjoy my dinner. I think it is because of the melody of the song that just takes you away in your own world. Hopefully this song helped other people the same way when they listen to it; just to feel the music inside of you and not care what is going on around you.
This song had the power to bring me all the way back to the year of 2007. The reason this song made me think about that specific year is because I can distinctively recall dancing to this song with a group of my best friends, just moments before the countdown began to ring in the New Year. Listening to this song left me with a positive feeling because I love to be around my best friends especially when we out dancing the night away with one another. The idea behind this song is that someone is attracted to the way in which another person moves their body on the dance floor. I think this has to do with having that special spark and attraction for another individual. Furthermore, I truly enjoyed the great memories this song had the ability to resurface in my mind. | 2019-04-20T22:11:36 | http://www.infobarrel.com/Musical_Reflections_Of_Songs_By_Black_Musicians_From_1962_To_1963-Part_1 |
It was in 1979, in anticipation of the Town of Urbanna’s 300th anniversary celebration, that years of research by town resident and Bank of Middlesex employee Jessie DeBusk paid off in the form of the purchase of the most important map in American history.
Traveling to an antique dealer’s home in Pennsylvania, DeBusk and other members of the Urbanna Tricentennial Committee secured a first edition, third printing copy of the 1755 Michell Map for $7,500. The map hung for years in the Bank of Middlesex building.
The map is hailed for its detailed accuracy and was used to negotiate the Treaty of Paris in 1783, ending the Revolutionary War, as well as in subsequent diplomatic efforts. The map was used as recently as 1980 to settle a fishing boundary dispute between the U.S. and Canada off the coast of Maine.
While the map that is approximately five feet by seven feet hung in the bank building for decades, it had deteriorated to the point that it needed detailed conservation measures to save and preserve it.
Under the expert eyes and techniques of the Richmond Conservators of Works on Paper, where Wendy Cowan and Mary Studt labored for 18 months on the restoration work.
The conservation measures included washing the map, removing soiling and repairing earlier restoration efforts. Cowan and Studt told NPR in 2014 for a story for Community Idea Stations that it took more than 600 hours of work to conserve the map.
Cowan even told NPR that she had such an intimate knowledge of the map that she dreamed about it.
The map is testament to the power of dreams — the dream of a colonial doctor to make a definitive map of North America, the dream of a young colony to achieve its independence and the dream of a small town to acquire a copy of the most important map in American history and hang it on a wall for all to see. | 2019-04-20T00:20:19 | http://www.urbannavamuseum.com/mitchell-map-most-important-map-in-american-history/ |

Sometimes we work with other airlines to give you even greater options for travel. When this happens our obligations to you may change. The most common ways we work with other airlines are: Franchises, Code Shares and Charters.
The Conditions of Carriage for flights operated by Stobart Air with flight number between 6000 - 6299 can be found here.
The Conditions of Carriage for flights operated by Eastern Airways with flight number between 7600 - 7899 can be found here.
The Conditions of Carriage for all flights operated by Blue Islands can be found here.
Sometimes we work with other airlines who put our BE code on their Flight or vice versa. We can then sell tickets for the same flight under our BE code or the other airlines code. These are known as “Code Shares”. What this means for you is that even if you have a reservation with us and hold a ticket with our name or airline designator code for the flight, another carrier may operate the aircraft for your Flight.
The operating carrier is the one who operates the flight with the aircraft and crew. The marketing carrier is the one who sells the tickets for the flight, they don’t operate it.
If the operating carrier and the marketing carrier are not the same you have the right to address a complaint or to make a claim for damages against either. If the name or code of another air carrier is indicated on your Ticket, (not solely stated as “Operated by”) that air carrier is your contracting air carrier.
If you are on a charter Flight, a separate charterer is responsible for your Flight. The charterer will let you know via the Booker which airline will be operating your Flight either: at the time you make a reservation; or if arranged later, as soon as reasonably practicable. They should also let you know the terms and conditions that apply to you. This is because we do not have direct responsibility to you. Therefore our conditions of carriage only apply to you to the extent we agree with the charterer. It is the responsibility of the charterer to make you aware which Conditions apply, their Carrier Regulations, and to put this information in your Ticket or any other contract you have with the charterer. We are only liable to you to the extent we agree with the charterer in our contract with them.
WHEN MIGHT YOU NOT ALLOW ME ON THE FLIGHT?
Safety is our utmost concern for all our passengers, crew and pilots. As such, there may be circumstances where we may refuse to carry you.
if arrangements to carry them have not been properly made and confirmed by us before check-in. This requirement is to enable us to check resources are available to assist such passengers.
we have given you a banning notice and you have bought your ticket while the ban applies. Please note, if you try to travel while a banning notice is in force, we will refuse to carry you and you will not be entitled to an involuntary fare refund. By a banning notice we mean a written notice we have given to you telling you that you are banned from being carried on our route network. (This means you are banned from travelling on all flights we operate.) This notice will give the date when the ban comes into force and the period for which it applies. A banning notice will also ask you not to buy a ticket or ask or allow anyone to do so for you.
WHEN I BUY MY TICKET WHAT OTHER CHARGES MIGHT THERE BE?
When you pay for your ticket you will be able to see in the booking flow any additional taxes, fees and charges that apply.
You are required to pay any applicable taxes, fees and charges imposed at any time by government, other authority or the operator of an airport, or carrier. These will be payable in addition to your fare. You will be advised of them at the time you buy your Ticket and these will normally be shown separately on the Ticket.
The taxes, fees and charges imposed on air travel are constantly changing and can be imposed after the date your Ticket is issued. If there is an increase in any of the taxes, fees and charges you will be obliged to pay it. Similarly, in the event the taxes, fees and charges you have paid for are abolished or reduced so that they no longer apply to you, or a lesser amount is due, you will be entitled to claim a refund from us subject to payment of the Tax Redemption Fee.

Similarly, if you do not use your Ticket or any part of it, you are entitled to claim a refund of any taxes, fees and charges relating to the unused part of the Ticket which you paid for. Such refund will be payable to you, less the Tax Redemption Fee. For more information click here.
WHAT IF WE DIDN’T PROVIDE WHAT YOU ORDERED?
In the unlikely event that you booked a reserved seat and we could not provide it, we would offer you a full refund for the cost of the reserved seat. As we don’t offer additional services ourselves you would need to take up any queries with the relevant providers e.g. car hire, hotels etc.
My luggage is lost or damaged or delayed. What do I do?
If your bag or any mobility equipment we carried for you is delayed at the airport or lost or damaged, please make your way directly to a Flybe representative within the baggage reclaim area of Arrivals. We shall ensure that we do everything possible to trace your items in the first instance; however, if it cannot be located within the airport, we will start the baggage tracing process and fill out a property irregularity report (PIR). It is really important that you do this before leaving the airport. There is more information here.

If you have valuable items in your Baggage you can make a special declaration of value for them. If you wish to do so you must also pay a surcharge for the declaration. You must make the declaration in advance of your Flight at Check-In.

We are entitled in our absolute discretion to impose a maximum cap for special declarations of value. We will advise you of this limit at Check-In, or if you call our Customer Contact centre well in advance of your Flight.
In the event the items over which you made a special declaration of value are damaged we can ask you to prove the actual value of the Damage or loss. This is to check whether the amount you declared was higher than the actual value of the items at the time of delivery and the cost of any Damage or loss.
We may refuse to accept a special declaration of value on Checked Baggage when a portion of the carriage is to be provided by another Carrier which does not offer the facility. | 2019-04-18T10:49:48 | https://www.flybe.com/ticket-rules/key-information/ |

During a back and neck massage, you are wearing either your pants or underwear.
A Thai back and neck massage focuses on tension release and the elimination of head, neck, nape, and back pain. This type of massage is also suitable for relief from headaches resulting from stiffness in the cervical spine, which are typical for people who spend a lot of time sitting at a computer. A Thai back and neck massage is a combination of an oil massage and the application of pressure on selected parts of the body without oil. It can be recommended as preventative, especially to those who have a sedentary job or spend a lot of time on a plane or in a car. | 2019-04-21T08:15:16 | https://www.thajskemasazekiwi.cz/en/masaz-thajska-zada-sije |
Here at Catholic Life and Faith, we form parish leaders to carry out their roles, formal and informal, within their faith community. Leader development begins when those who serve within our parishes see and understand themselves as leaders; it continues as leaders are theologically formed and are provided the skills necessary to fulfill their roles and responsibilities. Listed below are a few of the many leadership development and formation opportunities we offer to diocesan and parish leaders. Contact us here to explore opportunities for your diocese or parish.
The impact of people discovering their talents and building strengths cannot be understated. Parishes and people are transformed; the faith community comes to life when people know that everyone is of value in the parish and have the opportunity to fully contribute to the life of the parish by contributing their greatest talents and their passionate service. Strengths development is a beginning point for this vital and life-changing process. Our leadership opportunities provide in-depth foundational understanding, talent exploration and strengths development and guidance for those ready to bring strengths to their parishes in order to develop and sustain fully participative parish culture.
Gallup research demonstrates that when people have a deep sense of belonging within their parish, they are dramatically more likely to be spiritually committed. It is imperative that we form leaders to guide and shape their parish community in order to more fully engage members. We are ready to form leaders for their role in this process, whether through parish leader workshops or retreats, or following a Gallup Member Engagement survey through which parish engagement is measured and shaped.
The Bridges Leadership Series forms leaders to build a more engaging and evangelizing community through specific, proven steps. See the dedicated Bridges website for more information, to schedule a Bridges workshop or retreat, or to order Bridges workbooks.
The evidence is clear. The number of adults, many of them under the age of 25, moving from one church to another or to the ranks of the unaffiliated is steadily increasing. Most of them report that their spiritual needs were not being met in their parish. Yet the majority of Catholic share that religion is an important aspect of their lives. Explore how re-shaping adult spirituality and faith formation and making it a priority is key to engaging adults in faith and in the parish.
This multi-session training may be offered live or virtually and includes segments on Bridges, Engagement, Strengths Development, Strengths Based Leadership, and Key Themes in Pastoral Leadership. | 2019-04-23T13:03:27 | https://leisa-anslinger-575u.squarespace.com/leader-development |

Dongshan Island, called Tongshan Mountain in the past, is the second biggest island in Fujian Province. Nearly all who have visited Dongshan Island speak highly of it.
Dongshan boasts clear sea, famous Feng Dong Shi (rolling rocks) and abundant seafood. Walking on the soft and white beaches of Dongshan Island, you can enjoy breezily windmills, lighthouses, sea, rocks, sky and sea birds in bright sunshine, or experience the fun of catching fish. It is OK that you pick up some fish on the beach as fishermen draw their net. Can't wait to visit here, right?
Dongshan sliding rock is a natural wonder that local people boast and treasure most, and also the most popular attraction. When strong wind blows, these rocks will jiggle but never fall down.
Alternatively, you can walk through a long wooden gallery to have a good view of the sea, just like a seaside holiday.
Dongshan has a Guandi Temple (also called Wu Temple) which was built in the Ming Dynasty (1389) and enjoys booming pilgrims even to today. On the top of its gate carves more than a hundred lifelike characters.
This village has a poignant name "Widows Village". According to historical records, among over 4,700 young men taken forcibly by Kuo Ming Tang for its retreat from Dongshan to Taiwan, 147 were from this small village with only 200+ households. The village lost its former glory, and women here became widows for separation from their beloved ones.
Jinluan Bay: In spite of imperfect infrastructures, Jinluan Bay is not subject to extensive business operation, and has clear sea and soft sands. The beach at the foot of Sufeng Shan Hill is charming with fine sands.
Accompanied by this incredibly blue sea and sky, you're sure to be soothed and relaxed.
When playing on the beach, you may see unsophisticated fishermen returning from fish catching. You can pick up some small fish and they won't stop you. | 2019-04-22T14:20:56 | http://en.fjta.com/travels/detail/1262 |

Startled pigeons might not appear to epitomise the wonder of evolution, but a study has discovered that the birds can communicate with their wings.
When a crested pigeon is startled into flight its wings produce a whistling sound which serves as an alarm call.
The pigeons have "modified wings" that produce the whistle as they fly, but only this sudden take-off creates the alarm that causes other birds to flee.
The team report their findings in the Royal Society journal Proceedings B.
Robert Magrath at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra led the study.
He and his colleague Mae Hingee took sound recordings from the birds.
"We audio recorded the sound of birds flying off from a feeder in routine flight and compared those sounds to those produced when we scared pigeons into take-off with a gliding model hawk," explained Dr Magrath.
The birds that took off in alarm produced louder whistles with a more rapid tempo of "notes", he told BBC News.
The researchers played back both alarmed and routine whistles to flocks of feeding pigeons.
"We found that they only fled to cover after hearing the alarmed whistles. [They] could tell the difference, and acted appropriately in response," said Dr Magrath.
He described how the birds' "modified" wings create the sound.
"The birds have one very narrow primary flight feather, which we suspect vibrates during flapping flight to produce the whistling," he said.
Sue Anne Zollinger, an animal communication researcher from the University of St Andrews who was not involved in the study, said the "playback" element of the study was revealing.
"Lots of people have studied sound production by birds' wings, but here the researchers have actually been able to put it into a context, [and] shown that the sound has a communication role," Dr Zollinger told BBC News.
She added that this information would help researchers to understand why being in a flock might be useful for some birds.
The ANU researchers pointed out that while scientists understand some evolutionary advantages of a flock, such as having more pairs of eyes to spot predators, this has clarified exactly how the birds understand that one of their flock has spotted a potential threat.
Dr Magrath concluded: "We'd like to find out more about the mechanism of sound production, try to work out whether it evolved specifically as an alarm signal, and see if other birds also use wing sounds [as alarm calls]." | 2019-04-22T02:38:00 | http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8232570.stm |

Of the 200,000 offenders supervised in the community by Probation Area Trusts (PATs) in England and Wales, around half are reconvicted of another offence within two years. University of Sheffield research into why people stop offending (`desistance'), funded by the ESRC and the Leverhulme Trust, has provided evidence to senior staff in PATs, government departments, and the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) enabling the development of initiatives aimed at supporting service users in their efforts to desist. The research has increased awareness and understanding on the part of professionals of the factors associated with desistance. Through the medium of a film about how people desist, the research has helped both to reinvigorate probation services' professional practice and to develop training programmes with an emphasis on helping people to stop offending in place of the hitherto dominant focus on enforcement.
2) `Tracking Progress on Probation' began in 1997 when Professor Stephen Farrall (PI) worked at Oxford University (1996-2000), continuing on his re-location to Keele (2000-2007) and to Sheffield in 2007. Others working on the project were Dr Gilly Sharpe (2010-) and Dr Ben Hunter (2010-12). The research has charted the impact of probation supervision on the lives and criminal careers of 199 men and women. The fourth and fifth sweeps of interviews (in 2003-04 and 2010-12 respectively, funded by the Leverhulme Trust) traced and re-interviewed 116 sample members [R2]. The bulk of the fieldwork was conducted after 2007 when Farrall moved to Sheffield. This study is unique globally in following so intensively, and for such a long period, a group of people who have been sentenced to probation. The main finding is that probation supervision can aid desistance, but that this result is only achieved after a period of several years.
Both studies found major areas where improvements in probation supervision could be made [R1] [R2]. This included, for example, focusing on probationers' strengths rather than their deficiencies. The main policy message was that probation supervision needed to become `desistance-focused', rather than `offending-related' [R3]. This message has been developed by those working in practice in several ways ([S1], [S2], [S4], [S6] and [S7] below), but particularly since an ESRC-funded Knowledge Exchange Grant in 2011-12.
The ESRC Knowledge Exchange Grant (awarded to Farrall, Professor Fergus McNeill (PI, University of Glasgow) and Professor Shadd Maruna (Queen's University Belfast: RES 189250258) led to the making of a film [R4] about why people stop offending, and what can be done to assist these efforts. The film is supported by a web page [R5] which allows interested parties from practice, the academy and the interface between the two (such as those training probation staff) to discuss relevant matters and access briefing documents, such as [R6].
Collectively, these projects have placed the interest in desistance from crime firmly on research and policy agendas, and started to provide new policy initiatives within criminal justice ([R1]-[R3] and [R5]-[R6] below).

Based on their ESRC-funded project, this gives the main findings from this study.

http://blogs.iriss.org.uk/discoveringdesistance The web site contains numerous links for practitioners and keeps those interested in the project abreast of developments.
The lead reviewer of the ESRC evaluation of the Young Adult Desistance Study provided an early indication of the influence of the research on professional practice, stating that: `The Sheffield study has made radical and far-reaching recommendations (e.g. that probation needed to embrace insights from research into desistance) for the probation service on the basis of its findings to date'. Dissemination of the study's findings led to invitations to discuss its implications with the Number 10 Policy Unit (July 2010, leading to its circulation within government), and with the (then) Commissioning and Commercial Director for the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) (March, August 2009). The research has influenced the development of NOMS' understanding of correctional practice and, in so doing, directly affected the content of the Offender Engagement Programme of NOMS, particularly within the Skills for Effective Engagement and Development (SEED) year-long training programme for current probation staff, which was rolled out nationally in 2012 [S1]. SEED is currently being evaluated by the University of Sheffield, with funding by NOMS, under the direction of Professor Shapland. The SEED programme is now a major workpackage in an EU grant (coordinated by NOMS) to explore implementation and evaluation in other European countries, in this instance, Romania (grant JUST/2011/JPEN/AG/2892, 2012-2014). In contributing to increased understanding of how and why people stop offending, the research has helped NOMS re-orientate its thinking about how its frontline practice needs to be commissioned and delivered [S1].
The research has played a key role in shaping the training of probation staff [S2, S6, S7]. During this period there were three providers of training for future probation staff (Portsmouth, De Montfort and Sheffield Hallam Universities). All were required by NOMS to teach trainee staff about the research on desistance from crime as part of their studies, and to encourage staff to remain aware of the main messages of this research during their time as probation workers. Key messages drawn from the desistance research undertaken at Sheffield University were taught to trainee probation staff by these consortia [S7]. For example, the Sheffield Hallam module "Positive Probation Practice" (part of the Probation Qualifying Framework: Level 6) drew heavily on the material produced by members of staff at Sheffield University [S7]. Both de Montfort and Sheffield Hallam universities have web links to the University of Sheffield's `Discovering Desistance' blog [S7].
The Road from Crime ([R4] above) uses interviews with current and former service users, probation staff and academic experts in the UK and the USA to highlight how the process of desistance unfolds and how the criminal justice system could be moulded to assist these processes [S3]. Film screenings and discussions among practitioners have led to increased understanding on the part of probation staff (at all levels) concerning the supervision and assessment of offenders, and resulted in revised training programmes emphasising the benefits of making assessments of offenders' needs which allow for the identification of the positive aspects of an individual's life [S2]. The Project Advisory Group for the film included representatives of the Ministry of Justice, the Scottish Government, the Probation Board for Northern Ireland, those training probation staff, and former service users. The film was shown at eight seminars throughout the UK (between April and June 2012) funded by the ESRC, and at numerous events since. These raised awareness and provoked discussions between policy makers, service providers (state, private and voluntary sector), service users, and their families about how current service provisions could be re-orientated to better facilitate desistance [S2 and S7]. The film has also been packaged as a DVD (translated into French, Spanish, German and Finnish) and made freely available via the web [R4], [R5]. A copy of the DVD was given free to every delegate at the Probation Chief's Association (PCA) conference in March 2013, with the PCA funding the 200 DVDs this required.
"This film is a rallying cry for a paradigm shift; I recently viewed the `Road From Crime' and have ordered a DVD for myself. I just wanted to pass along that it is outstanding" (anonymous workshop participant).
The research and resulting film have affected the way in which court officials see their role in relation to probation sentencing. For example, during a seminar held at the School of Law, Leeds University (12 November 2012), at which participants included representatives from the Magistrates Association, Wakefield Prison, West Yorkshire Probation Area Trust and former service users, the representative from the Magistrates Association stated that the organisation needed to increase the number of its members who were former service users. The film has been included in training programmes for probation officers [S1] and [S2], and some probation services have created posts to further promote the embedding of desistance approaches into frontline services [S6].

S2. The Head of Probation, Derbyshire Probation (former Head of the Midland Training Consortium for probation staff) can provide corroboration.
S5. Letter to ESRC from the Scottish Justice Secretary, which also praised the film as `powerful and insightful', 5 February 2013.
S6. The Desistance Development Officer, Avon and Somerset Probation Area Trust, who has been appointed to help encourage and support staff to find new ways of working with those they supervise, can provide corroboration.
S7. The Director of Probation Studies at Sheffield Hallam University can confirm these claims. | 2019-04-25T02:12:06 | https://impact.ref.ac.uk/casestudies/CaseStudy.aspx?Id=22916 |
Hosting a Party for the Big Game?
This Sunday’s football game is as much about the gathering as it is about the show. This year, we’re sharing our game-plan to ensure that you can not only watch the big game, but serve up the delicious food for halftime. Here’s our fool-proof plan to make this Sunday’s party a touchdown.
Make a menu of everything you’ll need for the big day. Start with drinks, appetizers, and then work your way down. Go easy on yourself and grab some of our already pre-made items in our Bakery, Meat Dept., and Deli Grab & Go, like our favorite Rocky Party Wings, BBQ, or any of our dips! Don’t forget the dessert!
During the lull and commercial break after the coin toss, heat up the appetizers in the oven for a few minutes (or however long you need), and set them out on the coffee table.
Need some appetizer ideas? Try our pre-cooked and marinated Rocky Party Wings ($11.99, 32oz. tray), Nachos, or our signature Artichoke-Jalapeno Dip ($4.99!). This is another opportunity to refresh the cooler or fridge with beverages.
Light up the barbecue for your halftime food (burgers, sausages, etc.). No charcoal? That’s ok! Oliver’s BBQ is open from 10-5pm! We’ve got tri-tips, ribs, and half chickens cooked and ready to go!
Here we go! All eyes are on you… and Maroon 5. This is the time to put out the bigger fare, like sub sandwiches (yeah, we have those!), burgers, and our favorite Oliver’s Own Gameday Sausages. Throw your meat items on the grill and get ‘em ready for the big show.
Start brewing coffee or hot water for tea (if your audience partakes).
As the third quarter approaches the two-minute warning, set out desserts on the coffee table and the hot coffee & water with tea bags on the buffet. Announce to guests that you have coffee already made!
Need some dessert ideas? Pick up some Chocolate Dipped Strawberries decorated like mini footballs ($12.99lb.) and Oliver’s Own themed cupcakes ($4.99/6-pack) for some sweet treats.
Whether you’re hosting 5 or 50, Oliver’s has everything you need to make Entertaining Made Easy. | 2019-04-22T23:54:15 | https://www.oliversmarket.com/hosting-a-party-for-the-big-game/ |
Part of becoming a smarter Fantasy owner is knowing what NOT to do. Don't make these errors this season.For most Fantasy owners, you play to win the game. But some people just want to watch the world burn. Learn the best ways to fail at Fantasy Sports in spectacular fashion.
The biggest mistake a Fantasy Football owner can make is not consuming enough information about the NFL. In addition to reading various Fantasy-centric websites like this one, get your ears on podcasts and SCOUT Fantasy’s show on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio. Load your Twitter feed up with various experts, national media members and local beat writers. Don’t limit yourself to just Fantasy Football; study articles that break down the Xs and Os of the NFL. Learn about the advanced statistics that go beyond what’s in the box score. Try your hand at film study. It will vastly enhance your enjoyment and understanding of the game. Well-informed Fantasy owners have much better odds of acquiring a breakout player before their value skyrockets. Spotting negative trends can help you ship out a struggling player prior to the bottom falling out. | 2019-04-18T14:50:13 | https://scoutfantasysports.com/lose-fantasy-football/ |

Description Description:Domestic sheep are domesticated animals raised primarily for their wool and meat. They are grazers of grass and berries, and known for their thick white, grey, or black wool. Description:Porcupines are the largest of all rodents,living in jungles of Africa, Europe, and Asia. They are coated with long poisonous spikes for defense. These spikes separate from the porcupine, painfully stick into the victim, and are difficult to remove. Porcupines are mostly grey and brown, but some are white in color. | 2019-04-23T00:46:50 | http://purelyfacts.com/question/13/which-is-slower-a-sheep-or-a-porcupine?DDA=105&DDB=93 |
I almost always ignore that messy shelf of postcards found in the front of cafes and coffee shops. It's the one place neglected for sometimes weeks at a time. It's full of outdated events, bad graphic choices and typography, and even when I grab one on a whim, it ends up at the bottom of my purse for another couple weeks before eventually being discarded.
I met my sister at Cafe Vita yesterday. While waiting a moment for a new pot to brew, I glanced around the free postcard section. I'm that person who starts straitening all the little piles.
My face must have gone white. I felt my heart speed up when I picked up a smooth, glossy postcard that I haven't been able to stop thinking about for over 24 hours.
Help us fight HIV. We need healthy volunteers who are 18-50 and HIV negative to take part in a paid study. You can't get HIV from the vaccines, but you can help us beat an epidemic.
HIV VACCINE Trials Unit, Seattle.
I must have read it three times. Turning it over and over in my hands, I looked around to see everyone else having a normal morning.
My Uncle Craig lived with HIV for many years, and died of AIDS when I was 20 years old. I will never forget the random afternoon my family shared together, when I was very young. I don't recall my age, but I remember my dad and mom asking my sister and me to come have a family meeting in the kitchen. We didn't sit. I stood in the entryway, and my dad started to talk about AIDS, and how we were learning about it in school at that time.
He told us that our Uncle Craig was living with HIV, and had been for many years. I wasn't exactly sure what this meant for my uncle, except that there was no cure. My dad also told us that we didn't have to treat him different. He explained that we could share a soda with him at the beach if we wanted, because there was no way to get HIV by doing so.
I'd listen to him talk for hours about his wild days of growing up in the 60's and 70's, and when I discovered music, our friendship only grew.
Me and Craig on the Jersey Shore. I believe this was the summer before my Sophomore year of high school. This is how we spent most of our summer weeks.
My uncle and my grandmother, Dotty, lived together in a tiny apartment in Keansburg, NJ. This was home-base to my favorite childhood memories.
Grandma Dotty's life was extremely fascinating. She lived with many struggles, but most of all was raising five boys from a young age when her husband died of a heart attack. I never knew my Grandpa Truax, and my father never spoke of him much. I believe my dad was five years old when his father died. However, his stories of growing up with four brothers are hysterical and wonderful. I always asked about Craig, he was my favorite.
In my family, we don't talk about things. Ever. And as years progressed, and my uncles health began to deteriorate, I wanted so bad to talk to him about it. It was a huge elephant in the room, as were the tens of prescription pill bottles that scattered the top of his dresser. We never discussed his disease. I often wish I had been older during that time. There are so many things that an adult can say, that a kid cannot. There are so many things I didn't get to ask him.
It's not fair this happened to him. I am so angry.
My sister strolled into the cafe. I tucked the card into the pages of my book. We embraced and I presented her with a steaming cup of coffee, with non-fat milk. How she likes it. We pulled some chairs together and began chatting.
I handed her the card. I excused myself to the bathroom. I felt embarrassed of the emotion it had created in me.
And in the possibility of an HIV vaccine, I regret it taking so long to get here.

Mark wrote this book while he was living in Rome. Rome is now the capital city of Italy. He wrote it at some time between AD 50 and AD 70. Mark was also called John Mark. He was a young man when Jesus was in the world. In the book called Acts, we read some things about Mark. A group of Christians met together in the home of Mark's mother (Acts 12:12). Paul and Barnabas went to many different places to tell people about Jesus. Sometimes, Mark went with them.
Mark wrote his book for people who were not Jews. We call them Gentiles. At that time, the Roman government ruled many countries in the world. The Roman rulers wanted to hurt Christians. Jesus had said that his people would receive trouble and pain.
Mark wanted to tell everyone about the things that Jesus had done. He described how Jesus lived. He explained who Jesus was. Jesus was a man, but he was also God's Son. Mark described how Jesus died on a cross. And he described how Jesus became alive again after his death. He explained how people could let God rule in their lives. He wrote about the things that Jesus taught the people.
Mark was a friend of Peter. Peter was one of the 12 men that Jesus chose to be his apostles. Mark often listened to Peter when he was talking about Jesus. He wrote down the things that Peter said. He also wrote about the things that he had seen himself.
1. Jesus starts his work (1:1-13).
2. Jesus works in Galilee (1:14—9:50).
3. Jesus travels from Galilee to Jerusalem (10:1-52).
4. In Jerusalem, people kill Jesus and his friends bury him (11:1—15:47).
5. Jesus becomes alive again (16:1-8).
6. People see that Jesus is alive (16:9-20). | 2019-04-23T12:16:47 | https://www.easyenglish.bible/bible/easy/mark/0/ |

Why needs Vitamin B9 for Our Health?
health Why needs Vitamin B9 for Our Health?
Vitamin B9, also known as folate or folic acid, is one of eight B vitamins that help the body turn food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is used for energy. These B vitamins, often called B vitamins, help your body use fats and proteins. B vitamins are needed for a healthy liver and healthy skin, hair, and eyes. They also help the nervous system to function properly. Folic acid is the synthetic form of B9 found in dietary supplements and fortified foods, while folate is naturally present in foods.
Folic acid is essential for proper functioning of the brain and plays an important role in mental and emotional health. It helps in the production of DNA and RNA, the body's genetic material, and is especially important when cells and tissues are developing rapidly, such as during infancy, adolescence, and pregnancy. Folic acid also works closely with vitamin B12 to help form red blood cells and support the proper functioning of iron in the body. Vitamin B9 is a part of essential multivitamin that very effective to recover man and woman nutrition. Basically, multivitamin needs for women 40 up.
Vitamin B9 works with vitamins B6 and B12 and other nutrients to control blood levels of homocysteine, an amino acid. High levels of homocysteine are associated with heart disease, however, researchers do not know if homocysteine is a cause of heart disease or simply a marker, suggesting that.
Pregnant women need more folic acid to reduce the risk of congenital neural tube defects such as cleft palate, spina bifida, and brain damage. Neural tube defects are congenital malformations caused by abnormal development of the neural tube; a structure that ultimately creates the brain and spinal cord. Since folic acid has been added to many cereal foods in the US UU. Like bread and cereals, neural tube defects have been significantly reduced.
A key factor in the formation of nucleic acids, folate plays an essential role in the synthesis, repair, and stability of DNA.
Folate coenzymes also regulate DNA methylation, which is essential for the control of gene expression and cell differentiation. The anomalies of this process have been linked to the development of mutations and cancers.
Low levels of folate in the blood are associated with certain types of cancer. Folate-rich nutrition has been shown to reduce the risk of multiple cancers (breast, pancreatic, colon, lung and esophageal cancers) in a series of observational studies.
Excessive consumption of folic acid (above the normal nutritional range) may, however, accelerate tumor growth in cancer patients, suggesting that the role of folate in preventing cancer development is dose-dependent.
The effects of folate on the suppression of cancer appear to also depend on the state of cell transformation at the time of initial folate exposure. In animal models of colorectal cancer, folic acid supplementation has been found to prevent the development of cancer in normal tissues, but to promote tumor growth in pre-existing areas of abnormal tissue growth.
Therefore, taking into account the dose and timing of folic acid supplementation is essential to prevent the growth of cancerous tissue.
Often, increased susceptibility to infection in humans and animals with folate deficiency is observed.
Clinical deficiency of folate is often manifested as megaloblastic anemia, a condition that causes impaired immune responses (which primarily affect cell-mediated immunity). The elimination of folic acid deficiencies in the administration of dietary supplements restores immune function in affected patients.
A folate-rich diet was able to reverse age-related changes in T cell proliferation and cytokine production in rats, suggesting that folic acid supplements can be used in older adults to increase resistance to folate. infection.
As mentioned earlier, pregnant women who do not consume enough folate are more likely to have children with congenital malformations. Pregnant women should receive 600 μg of folic acid daily. Women planning to become pregnant should ensure that they receive the recommended 400 μg daily, as many neural tube defects can occur shortly after conception and before a woman knows she is pregnant. Prenatal vitamins contain the necessary amount of folic acid for pregnant women.
Studies show that women taking folic acid supplements before conception and during the first trimester can reduce the risk of neural tube defects by 72 to 100%. Other studies suggest that folic acid supplementation in the context of folic acid grain accumulation does not appear to provide additional benefits for the prevention of spina bifida.
Folic acid can also help prevent spontaneous abortion, although the evidence is unclear. Child development studies indicate that prenatal folic acid supplementation at the time of conception is associated with a lower risk of autism. Other studies show that ingestion of folic acid preparations in early pregnancy is associated with a reduced risk of pronounced speech delay in 3-year-olds. And some research suggests that low levels of folate during pregnancy are associated with an increased risk of emotional problems in offspring. | 2019-04-20T07:03:58 | http://www.diigispot.com/2017/11/vitamin-b9-for-health.html |

Nitrio’s NLP platform analyzes tons of email and phone conversations of sales representatives and provides sales managers with insights about sales performance, as well as offers advice to the sales reps, helping them improve their performance.
The core of the NLP platform was built using manual rules and heuristics-based models that provided satisfactory performance at the start but caused bottleneck issues as the company started to scale.
Squadex has developed a modern and robust intent extraction pipeline with TensorFlow. Continuous data annotation, training, and evaluation of deep neural network tasks have been automated, which allowed Nitrio to streamline onboarding of new tenants and to scale existing customer accounts.
The new Machine Learning platform has increased the daily throughput by 50% and reduced the amount of manual work 5x to develop and debug regex. This allowed Nitrio to optimize the cost of operations by 20%.
Nitrio brings state-of-the-art data science directly to business users with a data-driven solution for the sales process optimization.
Nitrio’s technology harnesses proprietary machine learning and data mining frameworks and combines their customers’ data with billions of external data points to surface insights that revolutionize the way their customers sell.
Nitrio analyzes inbound messages and rep-to-lead correspondence while collecting useful statistics for every sales representative. Nitrio provides their clients with data-proven buy-in strategies and keeps their top-level managers updated with the statistics about every sales rep’s performance, including common mistakes and errors they make. The inbound client emails can have various types of sentiment that have to be classified and tackled case by case. To handle the data of such specificity, the accuracy of sentiment analysis of no less than 95% is required.
The core of Nitrio’s NLP platform was built using manual rules and heuristics-based models. All messages that could not be classified by the platform were outsourced to a third-party company for manual processing, which increased service costs. Performance at the start was acceptable but became a bottleneck as the company started to scale.
Squadex developed a machine learning platform that augments manually developed regex, aiming to increase the overall operational efficiency. The ML-based platform analyzes and classifies inbound messages—those that cannot be processed correctly are sent to human employees for review. By doing so, the platform greatly increases the overall amount of messages processed per day and reduces the number of manual tasks.
The machine learning platform is a neural network for natural language processing, which is developed using TensorFlow. Amazon SQS is used to get or send messages from or to the new ML-based platform. The ML platform is located on a separate EC2 instance, and it works based on hydrosphere.io. Continuous monitoring was built with CloudWatch.
Nitrio received an ML-based platform, which efficiently analyzes inbound messages and classifies their contents. The new ML platform increased the accuracy of the existing system’s data processing capability by 50%, which allowed to reduce the amount of manual work 5x and accelerate the analysis of inbound messages. This allowed sales reps to shift their focus from processing emails to managing leads who are most interested in a company’s products and services. As a result of the implementation, Nitrio was able to enhance its product performance, optimize the cost of operations by 20%, and generate more revenue for the business.
The legacy platform that we had just wasn’t getting it done. Not only was our ML pipeline way too long, but it was costing us a lot of money since we’re wasting so much time on re-running the work we did in Spark. Squadex came in and optimized everything. They saved us a lot of money, provided us with an instant ROI and drastically reduced our release time. They really hit it out of the park. | 2019-04-18T12:54:26 | https://squadex.com/case-studies/nitrio/ |
The keynote speaker at the annual Rocky Mount Martin Luther King Jr. Unity Breakfast used the podium to take a different approach to honoring the slain civil rights leader.
Instead of focusing on more notable aspects of King's legacy, such as federal civil and voting rights laws, N.C. Justice Center Executive Director Rick Glazier spoke about how King might view four issues of the day: Immigration, the environment, health care and education.
Glazier also spoke about King having emphasized the importance of service while speaking at the event, which was held Monday morning at N.C. Wesleyan College.
On the issue of immigration, Glazier said, "We seem to be in our nation no longer a nation known as a welcoming place, a nation of bridges to and from other lands. Now, in the current environment, we seek to replace bridges and open arms with walls and closed fists."
Glazier cited remarks by civil rights leader U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga. Lewis’ remarks were in the midst of the 50th anniversary of when King was cut down by a sniper in Memphis, Tenn.
Glazier told the gathering that Lewis said King would be speaking up and saying America needs to do the right thing to look out for all people nationwide and saying America is one people and one family.
Glazier said King believed people are made in God's image and said he believes such a factor would have under-girded King's teachings related to immigration.
Glazier said King recognized social justice couldn't be achieved without environmental justice and said King's actions led to the clean air, clean water and endangered species acts.
He also said King spoke about humans' scientific power too often outrunning humans' spiritual power. He noted King having once said, "We have guided missiles, but too often misguided men."
Regarding health care, Glazier noted King blasted the American Medical Association and others for "a conspiracy of inaction" in the maintenance of medical apartheid.
He also pointed out one of King's most notable quotes came when King said, "Of all the inequalities that exist, the injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhuman."
Regarding education, Glazier said in the nearly 51 years since King was assassinated, King's dream of an educational system providing equal opportunity to all children remains unfulfilled.
He said he believes King would say the best chance to impact student achievement isn’t with more standardized tests, more vouchers, more charter schools or the educational reform of the day.
He said he believes King would instead advocate devoting attention, love and time to every child.
Glazier went on to call for emulating King's emphasis on service to others, which he said is an ethical and moral commitment going beyond religious barriers and political ideologies.
"It is helpful for us all to remember that if we had just one more hour to live, it would not be that we would wish for a bigger house, more cyberspace to explore, more money to spend,” he said. "But instead, I suspect it would be to spend one more hour with the family we love, with our friends and to do something to leave the world after us a better place for us having been here."
Michael Hunter, who works in the corporate world, afterward said he believes what Glazier had to say "truly personifies what Dr. King actually stood for."
"And if we truly want to make a change, we have to be intentional about our actions and to be intentional about what we need to do," Hunter said. "I think we all understand and know how to love, but I think we love each other in the way we love each other, versus the way God sees us, which is his love is unconditional. It's limitless and boundless."
Jaedon Kearney, 12, said he believed Glazier's speech was good.
"It's really life-changing," Kearney said. "It gives me a new perspective of how I can be in my community — and how to help others out."
During the event, the Rocky Mount Human Relations Commission presented the panel's 2019 Service to Humanity Award to the Frederick E. Turnage Chapter of the American Red Cross. | 2019-04-23T20:11:06 | http://www.rockymounttelegram.com/News/2019/01/22/Unity-breakfast-shines-light-on-current-issues.html |
Purdue Polytechnic Institute has been given approval for students to earn degrees based on competency based education.
Purdue Polytechnic Institute‘s competency-based education program has cleared its final hurdle, becoming the first baccalaureate program of its kind in the nation.
The Higher Learning Commission, a regional accreditation organization, approved Purdue University’s degree in Transdisciplinary Studies in Technology. It is the first competency-based degree at Purdue.
Competency-based education gives students direct measurable learning objectives. Purdue’s program allows students to develop skills in an individualized program of study based on their interests.
Jeff Evans, interim associate dean for undergraduate programs, says the program emphasizes creation, application and transfer of knowledge through hands-on learning. Overall, learning is the constant through this program, not time.
Students discuss a project last year as part of the Purdue Polytechnic Institute’s pilot competency-based education. The recently approved program is the first such baccalaureate program in the nation.
“We believe that transdisciplinary studies in technology at Purdue Polytechnic is the first program which combines individualized plans of study, close faculty mentoring of students and a competency-based approach for traditional learners at a public research university,” Evans says.
Purdue President Mitch Daniels says competency-based education is a key step in the Purdue Moves initiative, which is designed to broaden the university’s global impact and enhance education opportunities for all students.
Competency-based education shifts the focus away from traditional credit hours and instead measures student progress on demonstrated capabilities. The learning is organized around themes and driven by problems rather than seat time in a classroom.
In the Purdue program, faculty offer one-on-one mentorship to students during their skill development.
Purdue Polytechnic Institute Dean Gary Bertoline calls competency-based education the future, and credited faculty for leading the effort.
“This is a significant accomplishment and is a great example of Purdue and the Purdue Polytechnic Institute being a leader in higher education transformation,” he says.
Students work in Purdue Polytechnic Institute’s pilot competency-based education program last year. The program recently received final approval by the Higher Learning Commission.
A student must demonstrate expertise in eight broadly defined primary competencies in order to graduate. The primary competencies include design thinking, effective communication, social interaction on a team, ethical reasoning, and innovation and creativity. Each of the competencies is split into five sub-competencies.
However, the competency-based education angle works to incorporate a higher level of integration among technical, scientific and humanities disciplines.
Through the program, achieved competencies will be accounted for while an e-portfolio will showcase them and be added to the students’ academic records.
Bertoline says competency-based education answers the call from industry leaders looking for a different type of higher education graduate.
“They are looking for well-rounded graduates that not only have deep technical knowledge and skills but very broad capabilities for open-ended problem solving, greater creativity, ability to work in diverse teams and better communications skills,” he says.
Purdue began work on the program in 2013. Purdue Polytechnic Institute faculty spent a year creating the proposed degree, examining all aspects of higher education and incorporating the latest research about human learning and motivation.
Purdue students from different majors, but primarily from the Purdue Polytechnic Institute, began participating in the pilot program a year later.
The Indiana Commission for Higher Education approved the new program last year after the Purdue Board of Trustees voted in favor of it in April. The HLC vote provided final accreditation. | 2019-04-20T17:18:01 | https://mytechdecisions.com/compliance/purdues-first-competency-based-program-receives-final-approval/ |
