Grass-roots, community art is typically not discussed in terms of the sublime because it aims to alleviate not provoke feelings of terror or shock, regenerate rather than exploit the disturbing vastness of landscapes of privation in which it often is made. Whilst much contemporary art co-created with disenfranchised communities is intentionally subversive, designed to overturn stereotypes, preconceptions, and oppressions; these projects are accomplished over time through interactive processes rather than a single instantaneous insight provoked by an object or image (Kester, 2004). This article suggests that as these community-based projects extend the role of art; the works themselves, the murals, sculpture, gardens, performances, happenings and exchanges may reclaim the sublime from the self-referential, closed narratives of the avant garde, and give it back to everyday people. Three decades of work by international artist Lily Yeh shine as examples of a co-created sublime, the physical and aesthetic inversion of despair to hope, periphery to center, and mundane to sacred. The magnanimous scale of the works, their powerful local mythology and dazzling luminosity, made possible by Yeh only through mutual exchange and collaboration, ripple out to the world beyond through images, from starlight to pixels. The photographic representation of these collaborative projects might turn out to be an equally powerful frame for change of the community art movement. As distillations of larger processes, these powerful aesthetic pieces are capable of provoking an instantaneous insight in to the significance of the work, offering a breathtaking glimpse of an alternate and exalted reality brought to life. To overlook the sublimity of Yeh's work out of partiality to process over product, or for lack of new direction beyond the avant garde's dead-end, would be to miss attending to one of the greatest living artists and most important modern re-inventions of art. | 2019-04-24T12:14:40 | https://repository.up.ac.za/handle/2263/10914 |

The USGIN document repository is a web site that allows uploading of documents for use by the Geoscience Information Network community. A metadata record for the document must be created as part of the upload process, and this metadata will be harvested into the USGIN Catalog. Anyone wishing to make documents accessible to the network may us this site as a repository to host the document.
This site was created initially as a repository for documents describing the design and function of the US Geoscience Information Network. With the advent of the DOE-funded Association of American State Geologists Geothermal Data Project in 2009, its role expended to include registering and depositing documents for the National Geothermal Data System (NGDS). As the NGDS grew, a separate repository was created to maintain data for the AASG partners participating in the project. We intend that this repository will be a persistent web-accessible resource that will be maintained long term as part of the USGIN infrastructure.
How do I use this repository?
In order to upload documents, a user must be registered with the repository; online registration has been disabled for security reasons; please contact the administrator using the contact us link. Registration must be approved by the system administrator. An e-mail will inform you when your registration is approved, with a link to follow for your first log-in. Please set your password at this point. Once registered and logged in, you may proceed to the 'Dashboard' (follow link on main navigation bar at the top of the page), and create a new collection or request to join an existing collection. All documents are created in the context of a collection. The collection associates the background metadata with the document- contact organization, names, etc., to make creation of new metadata records easier. Please see the tutorial for more guidance on the metadata creation process (Tutorial is for a somewhat different metadata scheme, but the interface operates in the same way). | 2019-04-25T12:14:59 | http://repository.usgin.org/about |

The recommendations for SHREDLAGE® harvesting are essentially the same as those for conventional maize silage. Experience has shown that particular attention needs to be paid to the stalks, as their degree of conditioning diminishes at an earlier stage than that of the kernel constituents.
The recommended dry matter content is in the range from 32-36% DM. More moist crops, below 32% DM, can lead to increased effluent formation while DM levels above 36% have to be compressed with particular care.
The following recommendations serve as guidelines for correct machine configuration.
The corncracker roller gap must always be set to deliver the desired degree of crop conditioning and kernel processing.
Continuous monitoring of the conditioning quality and, if necessary, adjustment of the machine settings in accordance with the criteria mentioned here is essential.
SHREDLAGE® test card which can be used to determine the length and thickness of the particles.
1-litre sample cup for a "quick test" of the kernel processing. All the kernels in the sample should be divided into at least four parts, eight being ideal, and there should be no complete kernels.
Corn Silage Processing Score CSPS, degree of kernel processing. CSPS is a laboratory analysis method which relates the degree of processing of the kernels to the total starch content of the sample. This score depends on a number of different parameters. Along with the dry matter content, the variety and the characteristics of the location, the configuration of the machine and the level of wear of the cracker rollers obviously also play an important role. In the case of SHREDLAGE®, the CSPS of fresh maize should be greater than 70.
The Penn State shaker box is designed to be used at the clamp in order to check the SHREDLAGE® processing. Different-sized sieves are used to separate and quantify the fractions of different-sized material. The goal is to obtain a distribution of 25% for the top sieve and over 40% for the middle sieve. | 2019-04-23T14:59:42 | https://www.claas.co.in/products/technologies/shredlage/harvest-recommendations |
Can you travel for multiple days using a personal item as your one-and-only piece of luggage? The answer is “of course!” – even when that travel involves dressing up for a wedding.
I didn’t intend to travel with just a personal item. My cousin had asked me to help with her wedding months earlier. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get permission to go due to work commitments. At just 2 weeks out from the wedding my manager received permission to release me for the weekend. At that point there weren’t many selections for summer airfares. I bought a ticket on American Airlines but couldn’t even get a seat assignment (uh-oh!). American charges for checked luggage so I knew that the overhead bins would be full of overstuffed bags from novice travelers. What was I to do? My schedule was very tight and I couldn’t afford any delays by a forced gate-check. Summer storms also threatened, making the potential for delays higher. I had one thing in my favor – American had just started a policy that let people board early if they only had a personal item. I took the sure thing – I traveled with just a personal item.
Lots of big storms to the north, but it missed us. The pink in the clouds is caused by lightning explosions. The whole weekend was very hot and humid.
I decided to use a new piece of luggage for this exercise – the REI Overnighter. This travel pack is 18” x 12.5” x 7” (slightly smaller than 46 cm x 32 cm x 18 cm) and weighs 2 lbs, 3 ounces (1 kg). The volume is 1575 cubic inches (26 liters). Technically this makes it slightly too big for a personal item, but if you under-pack the bag it will fit in the personal item sizer. The Overnighter absolutely fits under any seat, including the one on the aisle.
The REI Overnighter is smaller and thinner than a regulation size carry on bag. Ironically, it is actually heavier than my LL Bean Quickload Convertible. You can see my collapsible water bottle in the water bottle pocket on the side of the Overnighter.
I knew that I would be taking heels for the wedding, and they would take up quite a bit of space in my luggage. I also knew that I would be taking a fancy navy dress that would blend in with the wedding party. In the end I brought 8 items of clothing plus my pajamas and rain jacket (storms, remember?). I was trying to be careful in my clothing selections. I picked convertible pants and a skort for my bottoms. I then added in a sweater and tops that would go with everything else. The sandals are thin and light – even lighter than flip-flops.
All of my clothing for the weekend, including what I wore on the plane. The “dress” on the top right side is actually a sleep shirt by Gilligan and O’Malley (Target). I could use it as a second dress if needed. I also brought multi-use items such as convertible pants and a skort. The chambray shirt has roll-up sleeves for hot or cold.
Packing the wardrobe really wasn’t a problem. I bundle-wrapped my clothing to save space and weight.
I’ve bundle wrapped my clothing around my undies, stockings and long underwear top. It’s all secured by the internal straps. I’ve put my nightgown on the outside so it is easily available. The dress is next so it doesn’t get wrinkled, followed by my skort and the blue shirt. The knit tee is last.
After I bundle wrapped my clothing I added in my toilet kit, jewelry, curling iron, first aid kit and clutch. I stuffed them into every available corner, leaving room for my pumps. I put the toilet kit at the top of the bag for easy access.
I added my pack towel on top of my bundle-wrapped clothing. My toilet kit is at the top of the bag to the right. My clutch containing my first aid kit is at the bottom of the bag on the left. The green bag contains my jewelry and the yellow sleeve has my curling iron.
I finished my packing by adding in my pumps, electronics bag, makeup bag, travel comfort kit and liquids bag. I also added in a portable iPhone mount so I could use my smart phone as a GPS. The final weight of the packed bag was 13 lbs (6 kg). This is well under the weight allowance for most airlines. Yes, that’s right – one undersized bag held everything.
My fully packed REI Overnighter. I added my pumps along the side of the bag (at the top of the picture). My electronics bag is next to the pumps. The orange bag contains my comfort kit and the bag on top is my liquids bag. My light sandals are in the lid. I carried my wallet and smartphone in my pockets, although I put them in the main compartment of the bag for security screening.
It was hot the whole time so I folded up my packable jacket and stuffed it into the pack strap sleeve of my REI Overnighter where it was easily available.
My rain jacket is stuffed into the pocket that holds the pack straps. This keeps it available in case I need it.
I wasn’t happy with this outfit. The tunic top didn’t want to work with the rest of the wardrobe. I only wore it on the airplane and the drive to the hotel. The top works well for casual work around the house but isn’t versatile enough for travel. I didn’t like the silhouette either.
I barely made it to the rehearsal and dinner at the church. The skort looked like a summer skirt. The striped tee is a classic look, especially when I added gold jewelry. The delicate straps on the sandals kept the look dressy. I had planned on wearing my navy sweater with this outfit but it was just too hot!
This outfit worked well for the wedding set up. The skort let me bend and climb without embarrassment while giving me a dressier look. The shirt’s roll up sleeves were nice when the day warmed up. The espadrilles protected my feet yet were dressier than sneakers.
I wore this navy shift with my black pumps. I added in pink earrings and a bracelet, as well as adding pink shoe clips to my shoes. The colored accessories let me fit in with my cousin’s wedding colors – navy, pink, coral, and black. The shift worked very well for a semi-formal wedding on a hot summer’s night.
When you’re on the clean up crew you don’t get home until 3 am. You want something comfortable for the next day. This casual outfit was carefully selected. Roll the pants down, add a sweater and scarf, and it’s good for the flight home. That means that I can pack my bags, check out of the hotel, and still enjoy being with my family for the day. Sneaky, sneaky.
I added a sweater and scarf to my afternoon outfit for the trip home.
This modified wardrobe will work for a 2 week trip.
I can easily get two weeks worth of outfits from this wardrobe of a dress, four tops, two bottoms, and a sweater. I can wrap the dark scarf as a skirt and wear it with the white top and the chambray top for a couple more outfits.
So can you travel over a week with only a personal bag? The answer is yes, especially if you are careful with your clothing choices.
Impressive! I spent 5 days on the east coast for a wedding, and then bridal shower and bachelorette party (two different friends), and I ended up checking a suitcase! Luckily it was free ;) On the other hand, I was able to just use a carry-on for 6 months of travel. Funny how that works!
It’s always hard when there are multiple special events. It’s even harder if you are traveling with the same people since you don’t want to wear the same thing twice in just a few days. I think under those conditions I would use a regular carry on bag and bring a few more dresses that went with the same pair of heels.
I appreciate it when you tell why a choice didn’t work and how you would remedy it next time. This bag size looks great. Interesting it is heavier than the Quickload.
Yes, it is part of the “reflect” portion of the trip that I outline in my article on how to plan a capsule wardrobe for vacation. We find out what does and does not work for our travel. We make better choices as we learn more.
The bag is heavier for two reasons 1) The Overnighter material is much heavier and thicker than the material used by the Quickload. 2) The bag is lined with the green lining material where the Quickload has no lining. A lot of people like the brightly colored lining but it adds extra weight to the bag.
Great post – I really like your group of clothes, in the “vacation” photo especially, very much my taste.
I think the airlines grab for more money by charging to check bags is just plain dumb. I will stay loyal to an airline who resists the nickel and dimeing. I do not check bags and love the game of taking just enough on a trip but with the overhead bins being so jammed with largish bags, under the seat is getting to be the only sure thing and that is sometimes not easy to do, especially for a wedding trip.
The a la carte pricing is throwing everyone for a loop. It is one reason why I prefer flying on Southwest for domestic flights. Their “bags fly free” really helps keep the chaos out of the overhead bins. If I’m nervous I can buy an Early Bird pass for only $12.50 and that applies to all the flights for the day. Last time it also bought me TSA-Pre. I usually fly multiple legs so it’s a good value for me. Plus the SWA attendants seem to be nicer than other airlines (but maybe that is confirmation bias).
I was really worried for this trip because I couldn’t reserve a seat – American had reserved all the other seats for airport check-in. I went to the airport 3 hours early and was assigned a middle seat. I was happy to have it when they denied boarding for about 10 people. Of course all the begging and pleading for people to give up their seats delayed the flight more. It just defies logic. Why would an airline oversell 10 seats on a Friday flight in the middle of summer? Especially between two hubs?
Just found your site this week, and thank you so much for this! Sleepshirt from Target is genius, I just bought a lovely navy stripe which will work great as knit travel dress next week! Thank you!
The fine gauge of the sleep shirt really make them soft and wrinkle free. I’ve found that they dry very quickly too because they are so light and thin. I make all my clothes perform double duty, including my pajamas. In the winter I’ll bring a pair of yoga pants and a t-zip base layer top that I can use for workouts or skiing. | 2019-04-25T21:40:33 | https://ladylighttravel.com/2014/05/01/all-my-luggage-is-under-the-seat-a-wedding-weekend-in-navy-and-wheat/ |

Dave Bautista Confirms Drax for Avengers: Infinity War!
It looks like the entire Guardians of the Galaxy team will indeed appear in next year’s Avengers: Infinity War. Now another member, Dave Bautista’s Drax the Destroyer, has been confirmed for the movie!
Last April, the Russo Brothers confirmed that Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, would be the first member of the spacefaring anti-hero team to sign on for the May 4, 2018 release. Later, a rumor surfaced online that suggested that the character would be “a major player” in the movie. Then we had to wait until the second and third weeks of this month to get confirmation from Zoe Saldana and Karen Gillan that their characters, Gamora and Nebula, would return in Avengers: Infinity War.
Now, Dave Bautista has revealed via his official Twitter account that he'll be a part of the superhero extravaganza and will start filming his scenes on Monday – the very day the movie kicks off production. And the wrestler-turned-actor claims that he has yet to get his hands on the screenplay.
Earlier this month, Zoe Saldana and Chris Hemsworth also said that they hadn’t read Chris Markus and Stephen McFeely’s screenplay. While these actors have no idea what's going on, Karen Gillan did say in an interview last week that Nebula will make “a little appearance” in Avengers: Infinity War.
We can't be sure whether Marvel Studios really hasn’t allowed these actors to have a look at the script - even when at least one of them is about to start filming - or they're simply saying that to avoid further questions from journalists and reporters.
Share your thoughts about these tidbits on Avengers: Infinity War, and stay tuned for the latest updates! | 2019-04-20T10:32:56 | https://dailysuperheroes.com/dave-bautista-confirms-drax-for-avengers-infinity-war/31390 |
After the seat angle issue mentioned in the last post, decided to move on and deal with the bent angles later. If time permits, I may prime and paint the seat backs later this week since they are a larger structure and it would be good to get them out of the way now. However, for the time being, continued moving forward and began preparing section 29 forward fuselage parts for primer and in some cases interior paint.
Deburred quite a few little parts today which are not worth mentioning … but also worked on some larger parts that required more than just a good deburring. The F-1201H upper fuselage doubler required quite a bit of attention. There are 46 rivet holes on the part that required machine countersinking using a #40-100 degree countersink bit. This part receives 23 nutplates which are to be installed on the F-1201H with flush solid rivets. Each of the 23 nutplates also requires having the screw hole dimpled for a #8 screw.
Hanging the W-1201H upper fuselage doubler over the edge of the bench to machine countersink the nutplate rivet holes with a #40-100 degree bit per the plans.
Dimpling the 23 screw holes per the plans using #8 dimple dies in the pneumatic squeezer.
The F-1201R antenna shelf was deburred and required having the rivet holes for two nutplates dimpled. Two of the rivet holes were just past the reach of the pneumatic squeezer’s yoke so I decided to place the #40-100 degree dimple dies in Pete’s C-frame and use it to dimple the four rivet holes.
Pete’s C-frame outfitted with #40-100 degree dimple dies quickly made the required four dimples in the back of the F-1201R antenna shelf.
The forward fuselage receives stiffeners that attach to the fuselage’s side skins in two areas. The F-1295 and F-1202N-1 stiffeners required being separated into a left and right stiffener. Both stiffeners were too long to fit the band saw, so the pieces were separated with a hand hack saw tool and deburred. Because both stiffeners will attach to the fuselage’s side skin, all four stiffeners were dimpled for the flush rivets being used on the RV-12 project.
Separating the F-1295-L&R stiffeners with a hand hack saw.
Dimpling the F-1295 stiffeners for flush rivets using a #30-120 degree dimple die in the pneumatic squeezer. The F-1202N-1 L&R stiffeners were also dimpled for flush rivets.
Work continued on separating and deburring the F-00026-L&R instrument stack mounting angles. Both angles will require quite a few machine countersinks so decided to save that for tomorrow. | 2019-04-22T18:29:09 | http://www.dogaviation.com/2013/10/section-29-parts-prep-begins.html |

As the summer is winding down (I know, I can’t believe it’s already August), many of you are probably getting ready for your last weekend away, or maybe returning home after a long vacation. Either way, you’re likely to spot a lot of travelers at the airport. Some will be friendly and fun to sit next to, and others, well … not so much. As you jet-set one last time before coming back to Georgetown, look out for these eight types of people you’ll see on planes.
He’s not sitting in first class (shocker) because he’s probably a junior exec. who hasn’t quite reached that six figure salary. He’ll be hammering away on his laptop the whole flight, and the flight attendant will have to physically pry it out of his hands as you’re landing: “Sir, you must turn off all electronic devices NOW”. He won’t talk very much, except for the occasional muttering under his breath. If you plan on getting any sleep but you happen to sit near him, you’d better not mind the sound of keys clacking.
He’s probably been asleep ever since you got on the plane. Valid question: How did he get on here anyway? And you won’t see him wake up until the flight attendant shakes him at his destination. His snore can be heard throughout half the airplane and he’s slumped over on the poor person next to him (which could be you!). Especially if he’s in the aisle seat, you’ll be holding him the whole flight. Get ready to get cozy!
Traveling with three, four or five young kids is hard. You definitely respect her – but that doesn’t make her brood any less noisy. The kids are adorable to look at, but you know during takeoff and landing, they’re going to cry and scream. If you’re sitting next to them, you’ll have buddies to color and play cards, but no way are you getting a wink of sleep.
She’s a little afraid of flying, so how does she cope? Alcohol. She’s already had a cocktail or two, and as soon as the beverage cart comes around, she’s ordering wine. She’ll be slurring her words, stumbling to the bathroom and maybe even imitating Snoring Guy at the end of the flight. You’re slightly jealous of her and her dedication to turning up, but she doesn’t make the best travel companion.
They never leave each other’s side. They’re adorable and clearly going on some romantic vacation but their lovey-dovey babble makes you want to throw up. Watching them kiss and hold hands for several hours straight is even worse than the turbulence. Also, you might be secretly envious of them (mile-high club anybody?).
Her bags are twice her size, and it requires two other people to help her get them into the overhead compartment. Her hair is completely tangled and she looks as if she ran all the way to the gate. If you sit next to her she’ll be very sweet and apologetic for her appearance that is currently in shambles. Still, she will definitely spill her soda on you and elbow you on her way to the bathroom – whoops.
The complete opposite of the mess, the betch in heels is completely put together – lipstick and jewelry ready to go. Her makeup and clothes look flawless even though she’s on a six hour flight. Nothing she’s wearing looks comfortable, especially those four inch heels she’s got on. Is it possible to pick someone up on an airplane?
Usually a woman, she’s adorable, tiny and wrinkled – the epitome of the perfect grandmother. She might have cookies in her bag, but to score one of those, you’ll need to divulge every detail of your personal life. This is including but not limited to your major, summer internship, siblings, pets, hometown and relationship status. You’ll get some lively conversation, but sleep is probably not an option.

In what seems like a distant, more innocent time in surveillance (viz. 2003), Andy Clark was able to use as an example in his Natural Born Cyborgs an implanted tracking chip for pets. Does your cat tend to wander off? Now you can know where Whiskers is at all times! (no doubt taking a nap in the sun, and not earning his keep catching mice) Clark’s point was to argue that we are all tool-using creatures by nature, to the point that when we speak of our “minds,” that term really needs to include at least some of the tools we use. So the extended mind hypothesis was the point of the book, and pet-tracking an example, but Clark’s optimism was evidenced in the way that he dumped concerns like privacy together into a final chapter. It's that ability to put the worries in the last chapter that seems dated now.
In Sleights of Reason, Mary Beth Mader makes the point that there is an ontological distinction between the members of a normalized “population” and the individuals they represent. Mader is talking about statistics and bell curves; as she summarizes the part of her argument that’s relevant here, “statistical social measurement is ontologically problematic on the very level of the conceptual composites expressed in statistical measures and distributions and not only on an allegedly duplicitous subsequent prescriptive application of an allegedly descriptive conceptual instrument” (45). In other words, it’s not just that we get told that we’re “abnormal” or not living up to the norm; it’s that the way the norm is constructed also needs scrutiny.
The connection between neoliberalism and biopower – the one that Foucault seems to make in Birth of Biopolitics, but then doesn’t exactly spell out – is made crystal clear in a piece by Gary Becker that makes precisely this move in declaring that accounts of human behavior based on human rationality can nonetheless apply to irrational behavior as well. The piece is cited often enough for the temerity of the claim that economic rationality can be applied to irrational behavior, and it clearly evidences Foucault’s claim that “American neo-liberalism still involves, in fact, the generalization of the economic form of the market. It involves generalizing it throughout the social body and including the whole of the social system not usually conducted through or sanctioned by monetary exchanges “ (BB 243; Becker elsewhere claims that “the economic approach provides a valuable unified framework for understanding all human behavior, although I recognize, of course, that much behavior is not yet understood” (Essence of Becker, 13, emphasis original)). That said, what is actually going on in the discussion of irrationality becomes substantially more interesting when read in light of Mader’s point about norms and populations. | 2019-04-21T06:17:59 | https://www.newappsblog.com/2018/11/?asset_id=6a00d8341ef41d53ef022ad3776b79200c |

Belfast is all set to be beamed into homes across India In an effort to cajole people to pick Northern Ireland as a gourmet holiday destination.
In an effort to bring visitors to the North from Asia and the Indian subcontinent, Tourism Ireland arranged for an award winning Indian Travel and food show to include Belfast in an episode of their show. The episode will air in India later in the year.
'Will Travel for Food' is a popular, award winning show on India's NDTV channel. Each episode of the show focuses on a different world city and pays special attention to that area's local foods and the diversity of places to eat.
The TV crew recorded the footage in the North earlier this week.
The show will introduce Indian viewers to Belfast and its latest iconic landmark, the new Titanic Museum, before taking them on a gastro tour of the City.
Presenter Aneesha Baig will take the audience on a journey to discover some of the gourmet and quirky delights of Belfast, including Café Conor, a modern bistro café near the Ulster Museum and Long's Fish & Chip Shop (the oldest chippy in town).
Aneesha was also filmed enjoying dinner on board the Belfast Barge, listening to stories of the city’s colourful maritime and industrial past.
The film crew then travelled through the Co Down countryside to Glassdrumman Lodge near Annalong. There they met chef Jonny Hall who showed Indian viewers how to make Irish bread.
Huzan Fraser of Tourism Ireland India, said they were delighted that NDTV had chosen to film in Northern Ireland.
" It's a wonderful opportunity to showcase some of the many things to do and see in Northern Ireland, and to highlight the array of fine food available, to an audience of over two million people – or prospective holiday makers from India," she said.
" The publicity value of a TV programme like this is incalculable," added Fraser.
Tourism Ireland works closely with both Fáilte Ireland and the Northern Ireland Tourist Board (NITB).
The full itinerary for the Indian TV crew was designed by NITB. | 2019-04-20T16:36:05 | http://www.mypurplechair.com/ireland/the-north-has-gone-for-an-indian |

I love computer science because it amazes me how just typing a few lines of code can create very meaningful output; it's something that you can test anything you want out without any limitation! Imaginations can run wild, and that's what mainly drew me into it. I also love to help others and watch them get the satisfaction of learning, whether it's understanding a concept or finding what the error in their code is. If I can get others excited about computer science like I am, it would make me very happy, and that's why I wanted to be a UTA. | 2019-04-22T04:45:13 | https://comp110.com/team/bio?onyen=kkpatel4 |
3-nen B Gumi Kinpachi Sensei Complete Season + SP - Bagikuy!
Stars popular actor Takeda Tetsuya as an inspirational teacher put in charge of an unruly class of 9th graders. This highly-rated series reveals a rarely-seen side of Japan’s educational system.
After an absence of four years Kinpachi Sensei, everyone’s favorite teacher, returns to the television screen in a new series. When the series first went into production in 1979, delinquency and on-campus violence were big social problems. Over the years, the pressing problems became truancy and bullying, and more recently, disorderly conduct in classrooms and children with explosive tempers. Kinpachi Sensei returns to the classroom to help teenagers caught between childhood and adulthood, who suffer many social and emotional strains.
Tetsuya Takeda is back for his sixth season as Japan’s most dedicated middle school teacher. Sakura Middle School becomes the first school to introduce the new student-guidance standards set to be instituted by the education ministry next April. Two transfer students also will join the 3-B class and, in a historic first, the school will have a non-Japanese teacher on staff.
This series is back in its 25th year with the seventh series. What concerns and problems with this new class confront Kimpachi Sakamoto (Takeda Tetsuya) with? Yet again, through the days and months of the year, we will learn lessons which money can’t buy.
In the sixth series, Sakamoto was in heated disagreement with Principal Chida over teaching methods. So much so that he was ordered off the Board of Education. But he is back teaching at Sakura Middle School. Recently there has been a spate of young crime. Even Sakura has to deal with new problems like drugs and sexually transmitted diseases. Kimpachi returns to a school system in tumult. What problems will he confront and what message will he have for us? Keep and eye on class 3B over the next six months. | 2019-04-25T12:34:25 | https://bagikuy.com/3-nen-b-gumi-kinpachi-sensei-complete-season-sp/ |

The CEO of CloudBees predicted in January that Red Hat would be acquired this year, although he guessed Google would buy it. What comes next in the public cloud era?
So I was only partially right. It wasn't Google after all; it was IBM.
The first is that Red Hat owns amazing assets for this cloud era, has great developer love, and also provides access to pretty much all CIOs on the planet. From the classic Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and JBoss to the modern OpenShift (~Kubernetes) and Ansible, Red Hat owns key assets to provide enterprises a smooth ride from the current IT to the public cloud era. Public cloud vendors might operate the best destinations, but if there is no path to get there, it is not worth much. As such, Red Hat acts as a fantastic gateway to the public cloud.
The second reason is less rosy. Red Hat has a unique business model crafted in the late 90's/early 00's, when open source lived in a much stronger ideological environment. Red Hat has a pure open source business model, which means that anything they do is available in open source. Monetization, in the form of yearly recurring subscriptions, happens on top of those free assets. While this has made it possible for Red Hat to reach a venerable ~$3B in revenue, this is a "harder" business model, as it can be difficult to justify a big premium when all of your value is otherwise freely available. If you compare Red Hat's growth to VMware for example, a comparable player in the infrastructure market, VMware reached about 3x Red Hat's size in less time.
With the advent of the public cloud, pure open source models are very hard to defend. The massive cloud players (dominated by Microsoft, Amazon, and Google under our longitudes), have reached such a critical mass that they are able to provide similar software infrastructure foundations to what Red Hat provides (frequently by simply "taking" software developed by Red Hat) but at a much-reduced cost. For those organizations, the objective is not so much to monetize those software assets, as to move compute workloads to their cloud. They want to be the next generation data center, not sell operating systems. This makes it a very hard competitive environment... Think about it: competitors are able to take your assets and make them available for free for the same customer base. As such, with limited future growth potential for its historical assets (RHEL and middleware) and a modern portfolio not yet able to carry the full weight of Red Hat and under increasing pricing pressure from cloud vendors, my bet was on a takeover of Red Hat in 2018.
A quick parenthesis on Red Hat's business model. The above explains why, in the last few years, as discussions around open source monetization became less emotional, most open source-based companies have opted for an "open core" business model, mixing the open source benefits of wide-scale adoption to the proprietary software benefits of differentiation. Open core business models have become the norm since then, and only two companies were left operating with a pure open source business model: Hortonworks and Red Hat. Both recently acquired.
In the cloud era, cloud vendors have massive scale and aren't focused on monetizing software assets, this makes them a new shape of competition which, unless handled properly, make them highly lethal.
The bottom line is that I'm not surprised by Red Hat being acquired. I am, however, much more surprised by who the acquirer is. This is a bold move by IBM, which might prove to be their best single bet to remain relevant for another few decades.
In this new cloud era, developer mindshare is as important as enterprise mindshare. Bottom-up meets top-down. Developers vote with their feet. In this subtle dance, successful public cloud vendors have been able to get their steps right. IBM on the other hand, while very strong in top-down motions, hasn't been able to really build up developer love. The impact has led IBM to be in the second tier of cloud vendors, along with Oracle — after AWS, Microsoft, and Google.
Consequently, through that acquisition, Red Hat will provide IBM with some much-needed developer's love and a modern software portfolio. IBM could provide Red Hat with the means to be much more aggressive with their M&A strategy.
So, can this acquisition turn into something valuable for this new IBM? Yes, it can. If Red Hat is able to make IBM become relevant in the public cloud, this could be a game changer well worth the $34B...and if it doesn't work, IBM will become much less valuable. The cloud is acting as an "all or nothing" forcing function for companies, where no room is left for small or even medium-sized vendors.
Public cloud is becoming the new infrastructure. This is where, ultimately, all workloads will be running. This is a massive and hugely strategic market and a once-a-lifetime opportunity for a few vendors to become massive organizations. We are talking black hole-sized vendors. In that new era, there will be no room for "average-sized" vendors. We will face an oligopoly of a few massive vendors, with a tiny tail for the IT nostalgic.
My belief is that in the growing phase of such a market, the sales acquisition costs do NOT matter. For every $1 of business a vendor acquires today, the TCV (total contract value) associated to that $1 over the lifetime of that contract might be well beyond $1,000. In that phase, it is critical for vendors to seize the biggest market share today, at any cost.
As such, given IBM's lag on the cloud market, spending $34B on Red Hat can make a lot of sense if IBM is able to leverage this asset to increase their cloud market share to become one of the top three cloud vendors. That's the bet they did, and this is the bet they had to do. In some ways, this is IBM's last chance to matter on that market. If they don't, they'll slowly become a big — but less relevant — player. This is an "all or nothing" bet. It is bold.
My 2018 prediction was on Google acquiring RHT, not IBM. My logic was similar, though. Despite amazing technology, Google is currently the number 3 cloud vendor and, as Microsoft will tell you from their experience in the mobile space, it is not great to be the number 3 vendor, in any market.
But unlike IBM, Google does not need more cool technology or more developer love. What Google is missing is a true enterprise trait added to their DNA. To date, Google has tried building that trait on their own, but this has been only mildly successful. My view was that Google should acquire that trait. By acquiring Red Hat, Google would have had instant access to a worldwide enterprise sales force with entry to all CIOs on the globe, and extreme data center credibility. Furthermore, Google and Red Hat product portfolios are amazingly similar. This would have been an instant boost for Google's enterprise credibility and business, and if $1 of cloud business acquired today is truly worth $1,000 in the long run, even at a one-time $34B fee, this is a bargain (Amazon AWS revenues are probably already at half this number per year). So, why didn't it happen? My bet is that Google Cloud's CEO, Diane Greene, is certainly aware of that and must be very frustrated to not be able to make much bolder moves. Why? In the grand scheme of self-driving cars and other grandiose projects, I'm not convinced that Google's founders necessarily see the cloud as an absolute necessity worth spending $34B.
The cloud is having a transformational impact on the IT market. After transforming Amazon into "the new Amazon," and transforming Microsoft into "the new Microsoft," it will be on IBM to prove this acquisition can transform them into "the new IBM."
At CloudBees, we are firm believers in that public cloud destination — so all of our software is now Kubernetes-native. Yet we also understand this will be a journey, and that enterprises need a path to get there. This is why our platform supports all customer use cases, from Go and Kubernetes to Java, .NET, and mobile, from on-premises to public cloud, all under a single umbrella, a single pane of glass. As the market is moving toward that inevitable public cloud oligopoly, it is more important than ever for customers to be able to rely on a vendor that can independently orchestrate workloads to any destination. We are the Switzerland of software delivery. Anything less than this means you would be transforming this oligopoly into a monopoly. | 2019-04-22T00:33:28 | https://dzone.com/articles/ibm-acquires-red-hat-now-who-does-google-buy?fromrel=true |

In a move aimed at expanding the footprint of its distributed application lifecycle management platform TeamForge, CollabNet today said it will offer preconfigured professional services and new online resources.
CollabNet's Community in a Box consists of several new services, some free others fee-based that company officials said will make it easier to develop models for deploying TeamForge within an organization or extended enterprise.
For the consulting offering, the package will consist of services that will let enterprise development shops hire dedicated personnel starting at a fee of $15,000 per month. While the company already offers customized professional services, the latest offering consists of more focused deliverables, said Mike Bellissimo, CollabNet's vice president of worldwide services.
"In the past we had what I would call a statement of work-based service which was pretty open ended, where we basically assigned a resource," Belissimo said in an interview. "What is new is we packaged and documented specific deliverables that companies can expect to get as part of a service."
The offering is broken down into an advisor role and a manager role, where in either case the deliverables include templates CollabNet has used to help companies get started. The services also include training and support pages and a plan to set up to resources that will help customize TeamForge to support a community plan, he said.
The free one hour audit will assess the health of an organization's existing community and help assess key goals and determine deliverables.
CollabNet has also rolled out free guidelines and best practices in a wiki-style offering called Community Management Cookbook, which is available to those registered to openCollabNet. The cookbook is available here.
"I think there's going to be more and more of a need for these type of offerings because quite often you don’t have the resources internally that have this experience with ALM," said Keith Campbell, chief technology of Informatics, a provider of health care informatics services and a CollabNet customer. "Having a team that understands how to apply these technologies into different domains can be critical for success."
Indeed such services will appeal to many organizations that have limited resources to kick start such initiatives, said Forrester analyst Jeffrey Hammond. "Developers want to see a vibrant community and a product with the 'smell of success' before they invest precious resources learning a new technology," Hammond said in an e-mail.
It will also help mitigate some of the risk, he added. "Many IT shops are looking at the success of the open source community model (project like Eclipse, and Apache), and wondering why it works so much better than many of their own project infrastructures," he said. "Some of these companies are looking to emulate OSS with their own 'internal forges'. This will also appeal to those folks as well." | 2019-04-23T17:00:00 | https://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2009/09/01/collabnet-adds-services-for-teamforge.aspx |

Earlier this week, the president called the investigation the "greatest WITCH HUNT in American political history" and said it was being led by "some very bad and conflicted people".
The morning missive appeared to refer to Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general.
It wasn't clear whether the president's comment confirming he was under investigation was based on direct knowledge or media reports this week that Mueller is examining whether the president obstructed justice by firing Comey last month.
Blaming Rosenstein, as Trump did on Friday, stretches credulity, particularly because Trump himself said in a nationally televised interview on May 11 that he was going to fire Comey regardless of what Sessions, Rosenstein, or anybody else told him.
Trump's tweet appears to be a reference to a memo Rosenstein issued shortly after assuming his position in the DOJ. The tweet was not confirmation that the president or his attorney has been informed by the Department of Justice or Mueller that Trump is the subject of an investigation.
Trump has repeatedly complained about the probe, saying Democrats can not accept his election win.
HORSLEY: And the memo was all about the way Comey dealt with the email investigation of Hillary Clinton past year. Mueller also has expansive powers to investigate any matters that develop from his initial investigation.
In a foreboding sign, Rosenstein privately admitted to colleagues that he may have to recuse himself from the ongoing federal probe ABC News reported Friday. The order by the general counsel for his transition team casts a wide net on documents that could shed light on ties between Trump's presidential campaign and representatives of Russia's government. Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the investigation, and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller to oversee it in the wake of Comey's ouster.
Significantly, Preet Bharara, the India-born former top United States federal prosecutor, earlier this week had said that there was enough evidence to begin an obstruction of justice case against Trump over his alleged interference in the Russian Federation probe.
The FBI probe, now in the hands of special counsel Robert Mueller, shifted its focus to allegations of obstruction in the days after Trump fired the agency's then-director James Comey on May 9.
On Thursday, Trump tried to turn the negative attention, which he perhaps feels is contributing to his historically low approval rating, toward a familiar victim: "Why is that Hillary Clintons [sic] family and Dems dealings with Russian Federation are not looked at, but my non-dealings are?" NPR's White House correspondent Tamara Keith reports.
Trump, who hired his own lawyer last month to represent him regarding probes by the special counsel and congressional committees, continued his harsh criticism of the investigations in series of tweets on Friday. "Sad!" he wrote in one post. So this particular tweet coming from Trump on Friday morning went off like a siren. Trump may not be able to swing public opinion in his favor as Clinton did with Starr, but he can survive Twitter counterattacks against Comey and even Mueller.
The memo to former transition team members on Thursday also seeks specific information on five people, the Times reported.
The Obama administration and the intelligence community conflated the real threat of Russian interference in the American electoral process with the false narrative of Trump-campaign collusion in the interference. | 2019-04-21T11:12:32 | http://cromaplus.net/2017/06/18/trump-confirms-he-is-under-investigation-in-russia-inquiry/ |
Here we defined a vector that contains four numbers: 1, 2, 3, and 4.
We've created a vector called salaries that stores the 12 values (salaries) that we specified inside the c() function.
We'd like to analyze salaries by department. Versico has four departments that vary in the number of employees they have. In this case, there are 4, 3, 2, and 3 employees in these four departments. Create a vector named department_employees that contains the numbers of employees in each department, in this precise order. | 2019-04-25T17:43:29 | https://academy.vertabelo.com/course/introduction-to-r/vectors/what-are-vectors/creating-a-numeric-vector-c |
It can’t be overstated: A stay at Royal Malewane will be one of the most wondrous stays you’ll experience. Twenty years ago, it was the private residence and friends-only lodge for Liz and Phil Biden, who had ties to African fashion house Jenni Button before becoming hoteliers. Now? It’s one of the most sought-after safari experiences in Greater Kruger National Park, and the winner of multiple top resort awards. Set among 30,000 private acres in the Thornybush Game Reserve, it was recently refurbished in 2018 and continues to out-do itself as one of the most opulent stays surrounded by unbelievable natural beauty and wildlife.
With only six luxury suites, two royal suites (where celebrities like Elton John have been known to stay), and a villa with six bedrooms (for bigger groups and families), the lodge is where you don’t really have to think about anything at all. Drinks and food are available at any time (the price you pay is all-inclusive), with personalized menus for mealtimes and an “adult watering hole” that features pretty much any liquor your heart desires. But, try not to imbibe too much — safari wake-ups are at 5 a.m. in order for you to be on the road with your guide and tracker by 5:30.
And because of the exclusiveness of the resort, rest assured that your safari ride will be an intimate experience. If you book an extended stay, you can also work with the team to experience things outside the resort — including hot air balloon rides and local village excursions. Staying for only a couple of days? Lounge by your own private pool (yes, all rooms feature them), enjoy a coffee while watching hippos from the deck, or sip a cocktail by the fire pit before dinner. The team also makes sure you have a Bush Dinner before you’re on your way — complete with African dancing, drinks, and an extraordinary menu curated by Executive Chef Brandon Souris.
In short, your stay will be nothing short of magical. Mine certainly was.
Stays begin at $1,778 per person per night. To book visit TheRoyalPortfolio.com/RoyalMalewane. | 2019-04-22T06:05:10 | http://dujour.com/culture/travel-south-africa-royal-malewane-safari-lodge-thornybush-game-reserve/ |

R&B singer Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds.
With less than 10 weeks left before the hugely anticipated Groovin In The Park concert at Roy Wilkins Park in Queens on June 24, organisers report that ticket sales are 'brisk' at all the outlets in the Tri-State area and online at EventBrite.com.
"We got off to an early start this year, and I am happy to report that we are ahead of schedule in ticket sales and areas that are critical to having a successful festival," said Christopher Robert, founder and CEO of Groovin Inc.
Over the past seven years, the annual festival has presented a dazzling array of R&B and pop talent, including international legends Michael Bolton, Air Supply, Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle, Babyface, Peabo Bryson, Regina Belle, Billy Ocean, Brian McKnight and R Kelly. From the reggae fraternity, they have had Beres Hammond; Freddie McGregor; U Roy; Jimmy Cliff; Steel Pulse; Bob Andy; Morgan Heritage; Chronixx; Mavado; Toots; Marcia Griffiths; Judy Mowatt; Beenie Man; Stitchie; Busy Signal; and many other luminaries.
One subtle change patrons attending the 2018 concert will observe is a bigger focus on reggae. "This year we are putting the focus solidly on reggae," Roberts stated.
"In our informal survey that we conduct each year, patrons have consistently asked to see more reggae acts. With the focus squarely on reggae, I am pleased to announce that for the first time in the history of the festival, a soon-to-be confirmed reggae artiste will be the closing act," he continued.
Groovin in the Park has received a written commitment from the New York Department of Parks and Recreation that the show will go until 9:30 p.m., 90 minutes longer than the normal 8 p.m. cut-off time.
Among the confirmed acts for Groovin In The Park 2018 are; Grammy Award-winning artiste Kenny 'Babyface' Edmonds, Busy Signal, Romain Virgo and Capleton. | 2019-04-25T16:07:13 | http://jamaica-star.com/article/entertainment/20180503/ticket-sales-brisk-groovin-park?qt-article_image_video=0 |

Emerson Bindery Anniversary Advice Wedding Guest Books: Another Unfinished Project Now Finished!
Another Unfinished Project Now Finished!
I have been working on cleaning out my "art attic" which will probably be an ongoing project since I can only devote segments of my time to it. I have filled two trash bags and have thus cleared out two storage tubs full of bottles, jars, boxes, and miscellaneous junk.
It is amazing how quickly I forget what I have stashed away and what intentions I had for the items in question. If you were to be in the room with me as I open a storage tub you would likely hear me muttering, "What is this?" and "Why did I keep it?"
A lot of items went either to the thrift store or the trash. Some were put back into the containers for another day. A few items I pulled out and declared I would do something with it NOW. And so I did, I am pleased to report!
This is a very elegant, high end chocolate box which I saved for some unknown purpose. I guess I just thought it was too nice to throw away.
I layered a piece of decorative gold toile paper (leftover from one of my guest books) on gold card stock and pasted it over the logo. Pretty simple, but lovely! | 2019-04-22T05:07:10 | http://emersonbindery.blogspot.com/2011/09/another-unfinished-project-now-finished.html |

MESA, Ariz. — Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo did some quick math when he saw reports of the six-year, $43 million contract outfield prospect Eloy Jimenez agreed to with the White Sox.
majors in the last month — five in the last week.
Third baseman Alex Bregman got a five-year, $100 million extension with the Astros. Third baseman Nolan Arenado got eight years and $260 million from the Rockies. Outfielder Mike Trout’s deal with the Angels was more than those two combined.
Hell, outfielder Mookie Betts reportedly turned down a $200 million extension offer from the Red Sox last year.
It’s almost enough to make Rizzo, a three-time All-Star, wonder what his life — and portfolio — might look like if he had waited before signing what turned into one of the more team-friendly deals in baseball.
‘‘It definitely pops up [in your head], but it’s in and out quick,’’ Rizzo said. ‘‘Because at the end of the day, you’re set.
Rizzo will make $12 million this season in the final guaranteed year of his contract, thanks in part to a $1 million escalator clause for two top-five MVP finishes. The Cubs have team options for each of the next two seasons.
The deal was signed within months of Starlin Castro signing a long-term extension with the Cubs. Both deals were completed in the first 19 months of Theo Epstein taking over baseball operations. Six years later, the only other multiyear extension the front office has been able to get done was a modest, two-year deal (plus an option year) with reliever Pedro Strop.
Rizzo said he wants to finish his career with the Cubs. But what an extension might look like — or even when — is anything but certain.
What’s clear to him is that he has no regrets about signing a contract that became a below-market deal as soon as he made his first All-Star team in 2014, even as the game is awash in mind-numbing extensions.
Rizzo, who shared a spring-training clubhouse with Jimenez before the Cubs traded him to the Sox in the deal for left-hander Jose Quintana in 2017, suggested Jimenez’s new deal will be good for him, even if it turns out to be a steal for the Sox.
‘‘That’s a good feeling as a player, knowing that you don’t have to be looking [over] your back, that you have the security,’’ he said.
The deal already assures Jimenez no longer has to endure service-time manipulation to secure an additional year of club control, so he can open the season in the big leagues.
Rizzo has an .864 OPS, two Gold Gloves and a World Series ring with the Cubs, almost all of that since signing his deal. | 2019-04-19T22:19:06 | https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/anthony-rizzo-no-regrets-team-friendly-cubs-deal-amid-mega-extension-trend/ |
Financing in any economic scenario is tough and challenging. Whether you need start-up fund, raise money to expand your capital or hold through difficult times, funding is an essential part of running Georgia businesses. There are various ways in which you may finance your small business.
Factoring is such a financial technique where the company sells the receivable at a discount to attain a cash flow. If you have poor credit, you may use factoring to benefit your business. But, factoring may be an expensive way to raise funds.
Although the lending standards have become strict, some banks may lend you money. You can take a loan to attain cash flow.
If you responsibly use your credit card, you can fund your business. Make timely payments to stay away from credit card issues.
For those who are unemployed and wish to start a new business in Georgia, they may bank upon funds accumulated in 401(k). It is all due to the tax code and the provisions that you may tap into the benefits without facing any penalty.
You may access the crowdfunding website to raise money. But, you have to set a goal before raising any money. Before opting for crowdfunding to secure the funds, you may think of taking help from family and friends.
If you are young and ambitious, you will have high expectations for the future. For those who are confident of their future earning, they can pledge the earning. You may use a percentage of your lifetime earning and enter into a contract.
When you are trying to involve angel investor, avoid jargon and stay succinct. Choose investors who are experienced. Do not go by your set rules and stay open to policies coming up from angel investors. It is also important to carry out market analysis and competitive analysis.
Apart from the ways mentioned above, there can be several other ways. They are securing the loan, raising money from friends and family. | 2019-04-25T05:55:19 | http://georgiacookingclasses.com/the-various-ways-of-financing-georgia-businesses/ |

Titre 4 : La société civile, actrice majeure dans la lutte contre la corruption.
Section 2 : À l'endroit du citoyen : le rôle de sensibilisation.
"Le 8 juin 2018, le Ghanéen Daniel Batidam dépose sa lettre de démission du Conseil consultatif de l'Union africaine sur la corruption, en dénonçant notamment le manque d'intégrité au sein de plusieurs départements de l'institution continentale. Ironie du sort, la démission est révélée au moment où l'Union africaine est réunie en sommet à Nouakchott pour travailler justement sur le thème : "Vaincre la corruption, une voie durable pour la transformation de l'Afrique" Cette démission pointe du doigt un phénomène qui semble ne pas reculer même au sein des instances chargées de le combattre. Malgré le discours politique engagé, les divers textes adoptés et les énormes ressources mobilisées, la corruption continue d'exister dans les États africains, comme si de rien n'était. Cet ouvrage présente les institutions anti-corruption mises en place au Niger, puis met l'accent sur les obstacles essentiellement politiques qui freinent leur pleine efficacité. Les avancées véritables dans la lutte contre la pandémie seront proportionnelles à l'amélioration de la gouvernance."--Page 4 of cover.

"This book evaluated the underlying principle of retributive theory of punishment behind the application of death penalty fort the offenders and appraised the practice of death penalty by assessing the administration of death sentence through the mode and manner of execution. The study found that death penalty met some objectives of punishment; retribution and deterrence, although there are divergent public views and opinions on the subject. The author concluded that Nigerian society still needs death penalty system against the backdrop of incessant brutal killings, violent crimes, insurgencies, hate crimes so rampant and prevailing in recent times while identified shortcomings in its operation should be addressed in order to make it more functional; and that it is the system of trial rather than the punishment is prone to errors."-- Back cover.

In Freedom of Religion and Its Regulation in Nigeria: Analysis of Preaching Board Laws in Some States of Northern Nigeria, Ahmed Salisu Garba provides an account of how states in Northern Nigeria have enacted laws to regulate religious preaching in the spheres of influence. The work examines the debates surrounding the laws and how the state in collaboration with dominant religious groups persecuted members of minority religious in the states. The author applied an argumentative approach to raise and analyse issues relating to the reasonability of the laws in Nigeria, reasons for their enactment, judicial review mechanisms employed in the determination of the reasonability of the laws in democracies, and how they accord with the freedom of religion clause in the Nigerian Constitution.

If Nigeria fails to prosecute the crimes recognised under the Rome Statute, then the International Criminal Court (ICC) will intervene. The ICC is only expected to complement the criminal justice system in Nigeria and is not a court of first instance, but one of last resort. This is what is known as the principle of complementarity. Before the ICC can step in, it must make a finding of `unwillingness' or `inability' on the part of Nigeria. It is only after this finding is made that the ICC can take over the prosecution of the crimes recognised under the Statute from Nigeria. This book examines the criminal justice process in Nigeria and discovers that the justice system is latent with the requirements of `unwillingness' and `inability.' The requirements, which serve as tests for assessment, are as they are laid down by the Rome Statute and interpreted by the ICC. This book offers recommendations as to what Nigeria must do in order to avoid the ICC intervention by reversing those parameters that give rise to `unwillingness' and `inability.' The International Criminal Court and Nigeria: Implementing the Complementarity Principle of the Rome Statute offers a contribution to the advancement of international law and will be of practical use to African countries. It aims to sensitise policy makers in different African countries in respect of policy options open to them to close impunity gap in their respective countries. This volume addresses the topics with regard to international criminal law and comparative public law and will be of interest to researchers, academics, organizations, and students in the fields of international law, governance, and comparative criminal justice.

Since the revolution in modern telecommunications that followed the invention of the telegraph, telecommunication networks have provided channels for the fast delivery of communications across national borders. This transnational nature of telecommunication networks have led to the establishment of international regulatory regimes on the subject. On the other hand, developing countries consider regional economic integration as a major strategy for promoting trade and development, telecommunications have been seen within this context as a strategic tool for facilitating regional economic integration. This has also led to the establishment of regional telecommunication regulatory regimes that aim to promote regional integration and regulatory harmonization. This book discusses telecommunication regimes established by international and regional organizations such as the United Nations, the International Telecommunication Union, the World Trade Organization, the African Union, the Economic Community of West African States, and the Southern African Development Community, among a number of others. It will be relevant to policy makers, regulators, lawyers, law students, investors and telecommunication operators, as well as any person interested in international and African regional telecommunication regimes.

This book contributes to the discourse on post-colonial and globalization theories, focusing on Nigeria's transition to a federal system of government. The project analyzes 10 years of civil rule in Nigeria, between 1999 and 2009, and its constitutional arrangements while also engaging in comparative studies of other socio-political developments in Sub-Saharan Africa. The collective influences of the judiciary on the polity was improved and strengthened through globalization. In addition, organized pressure groups, non-governmental organizations, as well as the Civil Society Organization, have played significant roles as vehicles of socio-political change and transformation. They continue to act as buffers for the sustenance of democratic rule, well beyond the period in question.
1. Nigeria: The Giant of Africa2. A History of Islamic Law in Nigeria3. Islamic Law after the Independence4. The Structure of the Islamic Courts in Northern Nigeria5. Christian Response to the Application of Islamic Law in Nigeria6. Is the Application of Islamic Law in Zamfara State a Success or a Failure?
This work analyzes the history of the application of Islamic law (Shari'ah) in Nigeria. It analyzes how Islamic law emerged in Nigeria toward the beginning of the 19th century and remained applicable until the arrival of the British Colonial regime in Northern Nigeria in 1903. It sheds light on how the law survived colonial rule and continues until today. Dr. Yushau Sodiq analyzes progressive elements in Islamic law over the past two centuries. He goes on to discuss many objections raised by the Nigerian Christians against the application of Islamic law, as well as how Muslims respond to such criticism. In a world that is often saturated with Islamophobia and ignorant misconceptions about Islam, this book aims to clarify and respond to many important concepts and ideas within Islamic religious tradition.
Is the application of Islamic law in Zamfara State a success or failure?

Here's an odd counter-narrative. The hawkers who sell grilled meat at Marina Glen Park, in the South African coastal city of East London, are pleading with the municipality for increased regulation. Why? Well, as The Dispatch reports, "opportunists"--who the article identifies as teachers, government employees and others--have been poaching on the hawkers' turf, setting up their own stalls to do braaing (as grilling is called in local patois.) The increased competition is apparently steeply curtailing the profits of longer-term hawkers.
“These people have jobs, they are being paid salaries, but they come here to make even more money while putting us out of business,” Mambamba Mnwana, chair of the Ebuhlanti Hawkers Association, told The Dispatch.
So the unlicensed hawkers have petitioned City Hall to monitor their business and protect their incomes. A spokesman for Buffalo City Municipality, as the East London political apparatus is known, said some of the issues the hawkers raised were compelling. | 2019-04-21T14:08:36 | http://stealthofnations.blogspot.com/2011/10/upside-down-world.html |

Kolkatay Kohinoor review: Director Santanu Ghosh’s latest venture Kolkatay Kohinoor that premiered recently at Priya Cinema, Kolkata, distinguish es itself as the most absorbing, intelligent, well-crafted film. The film marks the directorial debut of Ghosh, who has broken new grounds in exploring a territory never hitherto trod by other film makers in Bengal.
The Kohinoor diamond, known as the mountain of light, was the prime focus and, though a work of fiction, Ghosh has left no stone unturned in authentically unravelling the history surrounding it. He went through a laborious task of heavy research to present the truth in the garb of fiction. The script attempts to solve some of the secret signs, conundrums and veiled mysteries concealed between the lines of verse poetry. The adept cinematography coupled with the story-telling technique managed to rivet audience attention from start to end.
Giving full credence to the screenplay and story idea were the commendable performances of the entire cast headed by the veteran actor Soumitra Chatterjee. Despite advancing age, Chatterjee is not in the least senile and wins hearts yet again with his deep and impactful voice. His role as the aging detective reminds one of Magaret Rutherford as Jane Marple, the British sleuth in the detective films of Agatha Christie. His screen presence was one of the reasons that kept the audience’s interest alive.
Chatterjee’s eponymous detective manages to wax eloquent his knowledge of ancient history and, in unveiling complex puzzles and solving of clues that often lead to dead ends and red herrings, weaving itself intricately into the plot like a leitmotif in and around characters and situations.
Barun Chanda, whose cameo at the opening scenes and in flashback sequences as the father leaving behind a rich legacy of a treasure trove for his granddaughter, has a certain dramatic edge over others in setting the pace of the film. Facts blend subtly with fiction when Indrani Dutta as the dissolute daughter given to emotional tantrums gave a credible performance as the return of the prodigal.
New discoveries like Anup Pan as the investigative journalist and Mona Dutta as the granddaughter did justice to their respective roles. Sabyasachi Chakraborty makes in an appearance in the second half of the film as the suave villain endowed with a rich baritone voice and enviable height. He is pitted against Chatterjee, the aging sleuth, as the museum head, least suspected of his manipulations of intrigue in kidnapping and hijacking innocent victims, was finally unmasked and taken to task by the police force. That said, Kolkatay Kohinoor is worth a watch and, stands out for its sustained pacing, clever dialogues embellished with rich encyclopedic wisdom of ancient history in tracing the saga of the precious stone—the Kohinoor.
The film managed to keep the audience on the edge. One has a lot to take back from it besides entertainment. A compact movie running a little over two hours takes the audience through exciting escapades of the elusive gem. In the process, the rich dialogues of the movie inform the audiences a lot on Indian history. | 2019-04-23T19:51:12 | https://www.thestatesman.com/entertainment/bengali_cinema/kolkatay-kohinoor-review-an-exciting-escapade-1502740738.html |

Squirrel removal from the attic or eaves is the most common squirrel removal we do. Attics are ideal places for mother squirrels to make their nests, they’ll also nest in the cavities in your home’s walls. These cavities are accessed by the squirrels through the top of the wall openings in your attic. Squirrels will enter your home through existing holes or chew their way in through vents, soffits, gables or other wood damaged areas. The main problem with squirrels living in your Newton MA home is the damage they cause. Noise from grey squirrels is most noticeable very early in the morning and again later in the day.
SQUIRREL EXCLUSIONS – To exclude grey squirrels or red squirrels from your Newton MA home, we like to use one-way squirrel doors, whenever possible. This involves finding all the possible squirrel entry and exit holes the squirrels are using to gain access to your home. Then, we seal-up the openings they are not using and install one-way squirrel doors to the openings they are currently using. These temporary squirrel doors allow the squirrels to exit your home, but they can’t return. After the squirrels have all exited your home, we’ll return and remove the squirrel doors and do the final sealing-up. The final sealing-up should be done as quickly as possible to prevent new neighborhood squirrels from re-infesting your home. Note: Using one-way squirrel doors is considered the best way to get rid of squirrels and eliminate an ongoing squirrel problem. This is our preferred method of squirrel removal, it’s faster than trapping and costs the customer less.
SQUIRREL TRAPPING – When installation of one-way squirrel doors is not possible, we will live trap the gray squirrels and remove them. After the squirrel problem is solved, we will seal-up the holes the squirrels chewed to gain access to your home. We also perform wildlife removal in Newton MA for other problem animals such as; Flying Squirrels, Woodchuck Removal, Raccoon Trapping, Opossum Trapping and Groundhog Removal.
Hearing loud scratching sounds or something running above the ceiling are usually the 1st signs that you have a squirrel control problem. Our Newton MA customers with a squirrel problem will typically here grey squirrels making these sounds around sunrise and again just before dark when they return. Grey squirrels are the most common squirrels we see outside in our yards in Newton MA. They come out early in the morning and are active throughout the day. Since they weigh up to a couple pounds their chewing and scratching sounds will be much louder than a small rodent like a mouse could make. When heard running across an overhead ceiling you will know it’s from a larger animal. Grey squirrels are very destructive. They can chew large holes through your exterior vents and soffits and often chew through electrical wiring insulation.
Flying squirrels getting into attics is a frequent pest problem for Newton MA residents. Flying squirrels look a lot like baby grey squirrels. The most noticeable differences is the webbing between their legs and body and the fur on the tail is more flattened instead of round and fluffy like on the much larger grey squirrel. Unlike grey squirrels, flying squirrels sleep during the day and are active at night. They can get into very small roof openings. They also tend to travel in groups. Like grey squirrels they like to chew on many items. Flying squirrels may sound like mice in your walls or you may here them moving around at night above your bedroom ceilings. They can access your roof by jumping off tall trees and landing on your roof. Our pest control technicians in Newton MA have many years of experience at removal of flying squirrels from your attics.
A squirrel is in the family Sciuridae. This family also includes ground squirrels, flying squirrels, chipmunks and woodchucks, but grey squirrels are the most common type requiring professional squirrel removal services for Newton MA residents. Grey squirrels love to live in attics. Attics are warmer, drier and safer from predators than outside tree nests. Since they are incontinent – they will just urinate and defecate all over the attic and wall voids. Grey squirrels leave behind large raisin sized droppings all over the place and urine stained, ripped and matted down insulation that smells of urine. | 2019-04-22T08:33:30 | https://www.securitypest.com/squirrel-control-attic-flying-squirrel-removal-newton-ma.htm |
A chicken-derived antivenom (ChDAv) towards taipan snake (Oxyuranus scutellatus) venom was produced by purifying anti-taipan IgY from egg yolks of hens immunized with taipan venom. The productivity, antivenomic profile, neutralization ability, pharmacokinetic properties and immunogenicity of the ChDAv were compared with those of an antivenom produced in horses (EDAv). We found that 382 eggs are required to produce the mass of anti-taipan antibodies contained in one liter of equine hyperimmune plasma, and that 63 chickens would be needed to generate the amount of anti-taipan antibodies annually produced by one horse. It was estimated that, in Costa Rica, the production of antitaipan antibodies could be 40% cheaper if chickens were used as immunoglobulin source, instead of horses. During antivenomic assessment, ChDAv showed lower ability to immunocapture the a subunit of taipoxin, the most important neurotoxin in the venom. ChDAv showed a lower ability to neutralize the coagulant and lethal activities of taipan venom. ChDAv was more immunogenic in rabbits than EDAv, probably due to the fact that chickens are phylogenetically more distant to rabbits than horses. This finding may explain why clearance from rabbit bloodstream was faster for chicken-IgY than for equineIgG in a pharmacokinetic study. In conclusion, the production of anti-taipan antivenom was less effective when chicken egg yolks were used as source of immunoglobulins instead of horses. | 2019-04-21T08:29:15 | http://repositorio.ucr.ac.cr/handle/10669/30372 |
People see what they want to see. Preconceived ideas hinder an honest examination of truth when what is presented does not fit the mold of acceptance. Truth becomes a discussion of perception instead of what is real. Jesus had an image problem that caused a lot of confusion on the part of those who were trying to understand who He was. His teaching was astonishing, the miracles powerful and His presence certainly demanding. No one doubted or denied His miracles. A few challenged His teaching but soon learned this was futile. The character of the Lord was above reproach and literally blameless. What nagged at the minds of many was that while there was serious consideration for who Jesus was it did not fit their mold of belief.
The Jews had longed looked for the coming of the Prophet or Messiah. Through the centuries various ideas had been put in place to the character of the Coming One. By the time Jesus arrived on scene these prejudices were firmly planted in the minds of the people. This man from Nazareth was a confusion. He exhibited many of the traits of the Prophet but He was from Galilee. Nazareth was a town less than twenty miles from the Sea of Galilee. Everyone knew that Jesus was from Nazareth, His ‘parents’ were Joseph and Mary and he had five brothers and some sisters. He was the son of a carpenter. Nothing is said in Old Testament scripture about the Prophet coming from Galilee. Jesus could not be the Christ because He came from the wrong part of the country.
To further show that Jesus could not be the Anointed One the people remembered the Scripture said the Christ would come from Bethlehem and from the lineage of David. Jesus did not come from Bethlehem so how could He be the Christ? A man from Galilee was trying to convince the multitudes that He was the Christ and this brought about great division. The real problem was not Jesus. In fact the Lord was from Bethlehem. Prejudice blinds the eyes to truth. If the people had simply ask a few basic questions about Jesus they would have found out that Joseph and Mary were of the seed of David and when they returned to Bethlehem to register in the census thirty years earlier Jesus was born there. He spent the first few years of His life in Bethlehem before moving to Egypt for a time and then growing up in Nazareth. But no one asked the question because Jesus did not fit the mold of what they had in their mind.
There are many reasons men reject Jesus. One problem that men still have with Jesus is He does not fit a mold they have in their mind. The crucified Savior does not appeal to their minds because they are looking for something else. It seems foolish to them to give their lives to a criminal executed by Rome and a bunch of jealous Jews. Wisdom dictates rejecting the Lord for a higher level of knowledge so that man can exalt his own self-interest at the expense of Jesus. Just like two thousand years ago the people cannot see God who stands before them. The scriptures declare the power of God through His Son and all the wisdom of man brought together for all time is barely an atomic particle of significance compared to Jesus Christ. The Bible is ridiculed yet it endures generation after generation. God’s plan to save man is rejected for something that makes “more sense” because the truth does not fit their mold and myriads of people are lost. Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. He still is. The evidence is clear. He is from Bethlehem. He is the Savior. | 2019-04-26T00:10:16 | https://heatonkent.com/2016/01/25/jesus-does-not-fit-the-mold/ |

While the bullish crossover is a lagging indicator, the current slope of the MAs is signaling bearish exhaustion. इसलिए, bitcoin could rise toward $4,236 (दिसम्बर. 24 उच्च) in the near future, जैसा suggested by other longer duration indicators and the bullish candle created on Feb. 27.
The bullish case would weaken if prices find acceptance below $3,658 (फ़रवरी. 27 कम).
A widely-followed bitcoin (बीटीसी) price indicator is about to turn bullish for the first time in seven months.
Bitcoin’s 50-day moving average (एमए) – currently located at $3,669, according to Bitstamp data – could soon move above the 100-day MA at $3,670. The event would confirm the average’s first bullish crossover since the end of August 2018.
तथापि, the bull cross is a lagging indicator, being based on past data, and in this instance is likely more a product of bitcoin’s recovery rally from lows near $3,100 seen in December.
ने कहा कि, with several key indicators, like the weekly moving average convergence divergence (MACD) and the money flow index flashing early signs of bullish reversal, the probability of the cross trapping the bulls on the wrong side of the market seems low.
लेखन के रूप में, बीटीसी में हाथों से बदल रहा है $3,860, having clocked a low of $3,791 earlier today.
आगे की, BTC’s repeated defense of the 100-day MA over the last 12 days has strengthened the bullish case put forward by the long-tailed doji candle created on Feb. 27.
नतीजतन, BTC could soon rise toward the inverse head-and-shoulders neckline resistance, currently located just below the bearish lower high का $4,236 printed on Dec. 24.

"Hypertension can lead to cardiovascular diseases. The rise in blood pressure caused by eating too much salt may damage the arteries leading to the heart," Vijay D'Silva, Director at the Asian Heart Institute, said in statement.
"Raised blood pressure due to high salt consumption is the biggest single contributing risk factor for non-communicable diseases and damage to your kidney," explained Bhupendra Gandhi of the NGO Amar Gandhi Foundation.
However, another study led by researchers from the Imperial College London and Northwestern University, showed that people eating higher amounts of salt had higher blood pressure -- no matter how healthy a person's overall diet.
"Anyone with hypertension is at an increased risk of infertility. A high salt diet leading to high blood pressure can result in delayed puberty and even impact reproductive health," Walavalkar noted.
"High blood pressure can harden your arteries, which decreases the flow of blood and oxygen. An impairment of the flow of oxygen, to an organ such as your face, can cause your skin to dry and wrinkles faster which can make one look less youthful," said Amit Karkhanis - Medical Cosmetologist and founder of Dr Tvacha clinic.
Reducing salt consumption in everyday life, including fried foods, processed foods, can not only curb the problem of hypertension but also save multiple organs from damage and pave way for a healthy life. | 2019-04-19T18:47:01 | http://www.tripuraindia.in/update/index/regulating-salt-intake-key-to-prevent-hypertension-experts |

We use RandomizedRunner because its a good way to cover a ton of testing ground with relatively little code. Its how Lucene consistently finds bugs in the JVM before they're hit in production.
All tests either end in "UnitTest" or "IntegrationTest". "UnitTest"s are so named because they don't need any external services. "IntegrationTest"s either need to spin up some service like Blazegraph or they need an Internet connection to wikidata.org or test.wikidata.org.
It is started automatically during integration testing.
The same target can be used directly from your IDE to run in debug mode and use all the nice IDE integration (automatic class reloading, ...). Check your IDE documentation for details.
Note: jetty:run will not automatically detect changes to other modules, but if you run mvn install in the root of the project, the changes should be compiled and jetty should auto reload the application. | 2019-04-20T23:14:19 | https://github.com/wikimedia/wikidata-query-rdf/ |

CHRIS RAMSEY is the man QPR to keep them in the Premier League.
The caretaker-manager took charge after Harry Redknapp quit last week - and the club are poised to announce that he will remain in control until the end of the season.
Ramsey led the club to their first away points of the season following Tuesday's 2-0 win at Sunderland.
That clearly strengthened his case - and Rangers midfielder Joey Barton took to Twitter to endorse the decision.
Barton wrote: "Good news also on Chris Ramsey. Very good since he has come in. Got group back on track. Lots for us all to do now to keep club in the league."
The 52-year-old former Brighton defender joined the Rangers coaching staff in November after spending a decade working as part of the coaching set-up at Tottenham.
And he made it clear this week he wanted the job when he said: "If the job's available and I'm the right man for the job, then I'll do it."
But Ramsey's appointment comes as a surprise after club chairman had been expected Tony Fernandes expected to go for a more experienced name.
Former Spurs manager Tim Sherwood and Real Madrid number two Paul Clement were both early front-runners for the job before ruling themselves out.
Fernandes then took to Twitter on Tuesday and wrote: "I think I have got my dream manager. Not what anyone thinks. Take a while. Still a bit to go but I'm very happy."
That led to former Swansea manager Michael Laudrup - now coaching in Qatar - being installed as favourite.
But Fernandes and club director of football Les Ferdinand have clearly been convinced Ramsey is capable of steering Rangers away from the bottom three.
A last-minute Southampton winner condemned the Hoops to defeat in Ramsey's first game in charge.
But the win at Sunderland leaves them outside the bottom three on goal difference ahead of the visit to fellow strugglers Hull on February 21. | 2019-04-22T02:26:47 | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/425371/Chris-Ramsey-QPR |
"We will not allow an international force to act against us."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided to oust international observers from Hebron on Tuesday, thereby breaking a 22-year agreement that has helped hold in place the 1997 division of the city between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
The observer force, known as the Temporary International Presence in Hebron (TIPH), operates under a mandate that is renewed twice a year by both sides.
The mandate was due for renewal at the end of this month, but Netanyahu has been under pressure from right-wing politicians and Hebron’s Jewish community not to renew it.
Netanyahu said in November that he would review the situation, and decided on Monday that Israel will no longer support the presence of the 64 international civilian observers from Italy, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey.
“We will not allow an international force to act against us,” Netanyahu said in a statement to the press.
The Hebron community immediately thanked Netanyahu and the ministers who persistently spoke out on the matter, including Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely, and Strategic Affairs and Public Safety Minister Gilad Erdan.
“Together we proved that it is possible to bring an end to the injustice and folly that has lasted for many years,” Hebron’s Jewish community said.
TIPH is tasked with monitoring compliance with the 1997 agreement that split the city of over 220,000 Palestinians, handing 80% of it to the Palestinian Authority and maintaining 20% under Israeli military control.
Its observers operated mainly in the section under Israeli military control, where the Jewish community of about a thousand people lives. TIPH produced reports about alleged Israeli abuses against Palestinians, and patrolled the city to give the Palestinians a sense of security.
Prior to Netanyahu’s decision, Erdan had handed him a secret report on TIPH.
On Monday night, Erdan issued a congratulatory statement in which he also charged that TIPH member had interfered with the work of IDF soldiers and the police, created friction with the settlers, and cooperated with extremist left-wing organizations that promote the delegitimization of Israel.
It was a charge he had already issued in the past as part of a campaign against TIPH.
That campaign had relied heavily on two highly publicized incidents that were caught on video. In the first, TIPH’s legal counsel can be seen slapping a 10-year-old Jewish child in Hebron across the face. The second showed a staff member slashing a tire of a car belonging to a Jewish resident in Hebron.
The spokesman for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas slammed the move, noting that it proved Israeli contempt for international agreements.
“The Israeli government’s decision means it has abandoned the implementation of agreements signed under international auspices, and given up its obligations under these agreements,” said Nabil Abu Rudeineh.
A TIPH spokesman declined comment. | 2019-04-23T16:44:14 | https://www.jpost.com/Breaking-News/Netanyahu-ends-mandate-of-international-observers-in-Hebron-578958 |

This year the ‘East Lincolnshire Astronomy Club’ (ELAC) hosted a star party week, to coincide with the Perseid meteor shower, at Anderby Creek, near Chapel St Leonards. They have used this venue for about 5 years but this was the first summer meet. Work commitments dictated I could only attend for Friday and Saturday, the last day.
It’s Friday, and I had the tent all packed up and ready to go but a look at the 6:30 weather report and a glance at the sky called for a rethink. So I set off on Saturday lunchtime instead. The Garmin GPS suggested the normal holidaymakers route via Wragby etc. but Google Maps showed red traffic issues on those roads and suggested what on paper looked like a straight route, so I went that way. Over hill and dale, it was a lovely tourist route with smashing views but not one for a wide vehicle or a nervous driver, straight over the top of the Lincolnshire Wolds by a variety of B roads. However, I arrived without getting lost and in plenty of time to pitch my tent alongside the other club members, some of whom had been there all week. Once my tent was up we just sat round chatting until the BBQ was ready, and then we chatted a bit longer while waiting for nightfall.
22:00 BST I was still feeing very full after the club BBQ, and by now it was starting to get dark. The sky was clear and there was a noticeable temperature drop. So it was time to ‘suit-up’ and set-up. I had the little Vixen 110 on the Vixen GP mount with me. The ‘plan’ for the night was to try and practice / improve my sky-hop technique. I was using the ‘Star Hopping’ book by Robert Garfinkle page 205, Andromeda.
Starting at Alpheratz (α) and using the suggested hops, I moved to Mirach (β) where there is NGC404 in the same field of view (f.o.v.) It well may be, but I could not see it in the little 110mm. I set the mount’s mechanical setting-circles to this star’s co-ordinates then moved upwards to +42 declination and centred on Almach (γ) . Swapped from 40mm (x25) to 9.5mm (x100) and observed the fainter blue /white ‘b’ star is just a bit of N of the red/orange ‘a’ star. I do like to try and estimate the separation / PA of a double before looking it up, but the illuminated reticule eyepiece has a flat battery. These had been replaced a few days earlier so the switch must have been knocked on at some point. No spares with me. Here we go again !
22:45 Most of the campsite was in darkness now. The site owner had agreed to switch off the site lighting for the week and asked other campers to keep lights at low level, most were happy to. There is always one however and he was just across from me. The caravan outside light blazed like a beacon in the darkness. I should have brought the ‘kitchen’ windbreak to shield me from ground level lights.
23:05 Found M34 by combination of star-hop and setting circle offsets. Almach is approx 2Hr RA while M34 is 2Hr 40m. I viewed it at x100 but it is actually visible in 9x50 finder. Confirmed the star field matched chart by using the star ‘14’ as a marker and had the same position on the chart, using a stencil the size of my f.o.v.
23:35 Navigated to M32. Now, I had decided to observe tonight, not image – but got the camera (Canon 450D) out and fitted it anyway and then found I had left the focus mask at home. I started an image run after first doing some test shots as jpg, at 60 seconds.
00:01 We could all hear just the drum and bass of a rave in a distant field somewhere, somewhat irritating.
00:14 Meteor moving N - > S in Andromeda, magnitude 2 or 3, might be in image. Image set is 20 x 30 sec. 1600, RAW saved in APT as ‘plan 1’. A car drove past with headlights on in frame #13 ! CMOS temp noted at 17° C.
Stopped for some hot home-made cucumber soup and a chin-wag with ELAC members.
01:20 Tried to find M33 but could not find it. In books this is listed as ‘hard to see, needs very dark sky’. Well I can see Milky Way almost all the way from one horizon to the other (‘that’ caravan’s light is out now). How much darker a sky is needed? Moved to the Double Cluster in Perseus – I think. It was hard to tell as so many other stars in f.o.v. Tried to image it. With the narrow fov of the f10 Vixen I may have only got one of the pair. Same ‘plan 1’ settings as before. CMOS temp now dropped to 12° C.
It was starting to get very damp by now. Dew was covering everything, but the long home-made dew shields for the Vixen and its finder were working well. I remembered to take some ‘darks’ and ‘bias’ images, but afterwards realized directly with the camera, which is set by default to save as Jpg not via the computer /APT, so they are no use as they needed to be RAW as well ho-hum.
Moved to γ Delphinus , a nice double star and then tried to sort the red-dot finder which keeps becoming misaligned with the Vixen 110.
03:00 Clouds were coming in so I packed up went to bed. The drum and bass racket was still going strong.
Woke up at about 07:30 after a very restless night, disturbed by the rave which was still in progress! I gave in and got up and got dressed. The rave then stopped at 8. It turns out it was held at a place locally called ‘the bank’ (Roman Bank), about 1 mile away as the crow flies and site owners were also disturbed by it. Normally these things stop about 2 I was told.
Blue sky, and I sat outside the tent eating my breakfast of cereal, fried eggs & sausage and followed by two thick slices of home baked bread, toasted. I wished I could stay but I had work to go to on Monday. I had a bit of a struggle with the tent pegs as my puller had gone missing from last night, where I last remembered using it to help to get the club gazebo down. I cleared the site by 11 and had a non-eventful trip home with the only delay being the Lincoln by-pass and that added an extra 30 minutes to the 1 hour trip.
A good night observing. Not a high count of objects observed all said and done but its not a race round the sky, they will still be there, mostly, in a million years, we do it for pleasure – I keep telling myself. I could have clocked more things if I had used the go-to mount or not followed the start point of the book strictly but that was not the point of the exercise. | 2019-04-25T14:44:38 | http://lincolnastronomy.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1534&sid=2b9b516c774b74f84789ce6e3f388cbb |
As a father and teacher, Mark’s fundamental belief, which underpins his way of working with learners, is by judging things against the standard of, ‘is this good enough for my daughter?’. If this isn’t the case then why should / would he do it? This means that he doesn’t do things simply to follow a trend or populist movement, but analyses education developments with a moral purpose.
Graduating from University of Exeter under the tutelage of Ted Wragg, Mark is in his 18th year of teaching, experienced both the primary and secondary sectors. In this time Mark has taught a range of subjects to learners from Year 4 to Year 13 and held a range of responsibilities. In 2006-8 Mark also worked with the SSAT on whole school curriculum design and was involved in the removal of Key Stage 3 SATs.
Mark’s work in both the state and independent sectors has provided him with a different experience to many colleagues and he has a tremendous perspective into what works best for learners, staff and schools and how to achieve this. His diverse range of experiences also allows him to view a bespoke model of intervention, recognising the needs of the individual context, not simply applying a ‘best fit’ model.
All of this work, as well as still working as a teacher, places Mark uniquely to be able to support individuals, groups or institutions to challenge, develop and ultimately achieve their vision.
What is #Unhomework all about? For the simple answer, click the button below. However, the fuller answer is – as the book subheading says, how to get the most out of homework without really setting it. The premise is simple; create an effective learning environment whereby children can set, mark and evaluate homework for themselves with the teacher’s support. It frees teachers, children and parents from the constraints of traditional homework, yet still meets the expectations placed on teachers by policies, SLTs and parents.
Though, perhaps, the greatest achievement of #Unhomework is to utilise all of the things that parents and children do already – or actually cannot do because traditional homework gets in the way. By using these as valuable learning experiences #Unhomework literally transforms learning in and out of the class, as well as home life for the better.
"It’s useful, realistic and fun. It takes the stress out of homework-setting and that stone-in-the-stomach feeling kids get when they know they’ve got to do it. Inspiring."
"I will often hear the children chatting about his lessons long after they have left and thinking of ways that they can extend and challenge themselves, they really are motivated and engaged and want to do well. "
"Just to say thank you for the fantastic, stimulating day you gave us... I feel inspired to try a little harder to get it right and make it fun at the same time."
"I've just read this from cover to cover! I really like the down to earth chatty style and the whole idea of Unhomework makes so much sense. I can't wait to try it..."
"Your teaching method has been so good for me ... I think you are an incredibly inspiring person... You have changed my life forever."
"Your inspiring and valuable #Unhomework Inset yesterday was the tonic we needed to kick start the academic year."
− Iain Gilmour, Headteacher, Kingshott School.
Mark presented at The King Alfred School Society’s Homework Conference explaining the perils of traditional homework and how #Unhomework was the antidote. Also presenting were Prof. Susan Hallam from The Institute of Education, Alfie Kohn and Kim Wells and Adam Webster (@cagelessthink).
Mark ran a morning’s Inset for all staff, exploring #Unhomework, from how to establish a purposeful classroom environment for all learners to the full implementation to create engaged, motivated and challenged learners.
Mark delivered the keynote at the parents’ conference and ran a workshop demonstrating how parents could support their children’s learning by utilising the ethos of #Unhomework.
Mark worked with the entire staff to develop the idea and ethos of #Unhomework to support the school in moving towards the next stage of its development.

This is my favorite place in the world to ski. If you’re heading this way, here’s where to eat. Most places fill up fast, so it’s imperative to book reservations in advance.
This is the sexiest restaurant to open in Telluride in, well, maybe ever. It opened a few days before Christmas 2018, 2 days before my last visit, and it was fully booked so I couldn’t get a table. It’s run by several longtime locals who’ve worked at other restaurants on this list, including Allred’s, 221 South Oak, Chop House and La Marmotte. Sadly I only had the opportunity to have a drink, and I can say the bartenders are terrific. Great wine list, too.

These are touchy, but when they work they really brighten up your page!
In the Download Linked Resources using Jsoup tutorial, we learned how to select a specific hyperlink element based on a unique attribute value in order to download a linked MP3. In today's conclusion, Rob Gravelle covers how to extract the absolute URL from the first link in the Elements Collection and save the MP3 file on our local device.
Just about any Web or mobile app that works with images needs to display thumbnails. To quickly resize or manipulate images using the most optimal methods, you should use a specialized library like imgscalr. Rob Gravelle shows how to use imgscalr to resize, crop, pad, and even rotate images.
In the Web Page Scraping with Jsoup article, Rob Gravelle described how to use the Jsoup Java library to iterate over a web page's links and print out their attributes. In today's follow-up, he explains how to select a specific hyperlink element based on some criteria in order to download a linked MP3.
Today, Rob will demonstrate how to inject a Data Access Object (DAO) as a managed EJB to persist data submitted from a JSP page, in this follow-up to his Create a Java Enterprise Application Controller in Eclipse article.
In the Java Persistence API (JPA), Persistence Units are declared in the persistence.xml file. Rob Gravelle describes how to create a persistence.xml file and a DAO class to handle database transactions in a Java EE application.
In this article, Rob Gravelle takes a look at a great storage option for starting out with Java EE projects, that provider is ObjectDB. Rob details how its a great storage option for starting out with Java EE projects because of it's pure Java Object Database and helps you to build a quick JUnit test and validate its function.
A major enhancement in EJB 3.0 is the addition of the new Java Persistence API (JPA), which simplifies entity persistence and adds new capabilities to EJB 2.1. The Java Persistence API deals with the way relational data is mapped to Java objects called "persistent entities", as well as the way that these objects are stored so as to make them available across multiple application sessions. In this Article, Rob Gravelle demonstrates how to create an Entity class that conforms to the JPA.
Not long after Java first released Java Beans, the Spring Framework was introduced. Now, Oracle, the makers of Java, have fought back with the EJB 3.1 spec. Rob Gravelle demonstrates how to create a Java EE application project and configure a Glassfish server in the Eclipse IDE.
Eclipse Templates are stored blocks of code or text that can be accessed quickly via a key combination. They can save you a lot of time when coding by eliminating the need to type the same lines of code over and over again. Rob Gravelle shows how to use Eclipse's predefined templates as well as how to create your own.
The Arrays class is part of the Java 2 Collections Framework and contains numerous static methods for representing and manipulating arrays, allowing them to be manipulated independently of the details of their representation. Today's article presents the binarySearch() method; it employs the Binary (or half-interval) search algorithm to find the index of an element within a sorted array.

Companies and people alike need to have rules – that’s a given – but do they have to be short sighted and lazy attempts at creating order?
Everyday, people all over the world experience the awkwardness of self promotion and even apologise for doing it; the question is however – should they?
If you’ve just set up your own business, you’re probably familiar with the annoyance of some days just feeling like they are going nowhere no matter how hard you try? Thats because life as a start-up can be harder than a 9 to 5 Job and although thats expected, when you’re experiencing lows; it’s easy to forget that an up is likely just around the corner.
Whether you are designing a logo for your business or for an event, there is a lot more than meets the eye when it comes to the psychology of logo design and how we interpret them.
As with any business in a service industry, events has its fair share of high maintenance clients, you know the ones I mean, those who call 10 times a day, email even more and somehow always push every one of your buttons until you start to lose your mind? | 2019-04-19T10:34:08 | https://www.blog.inanyevent.london/category/rat-race/page/2/ |

When I like a post on my forum http://www.mnbonsaiforums.com/forums it gets posted to my timeline just fine. The part I am having difficultly with is that the posted link shows no image.
Is there a way to show my site logo or another image on the facebook link?

Can you explain how to create app in these days?
It has changed since you wrote the mod instructions?

Online shopping is virtually unbeaten in terms of convenience, selection, and even price. However, if you are not sure of how to shop online, you could get scammed out of your money. Read on through the following hints and tips to become a connoisseur of online shopping, one with skills that are widely admired.
If you shop online often, make sure your antivirus and anti-malware software is updated. Hackers often target major shopping sites in an attempt to steal personal information or to break into your accounts. Pay attention to warnings yielded by antivirus software and make sure you report unusual activity to the store itself.
Try using Amazon Prime if you shop frequently on Amazon. The cost of this membership is $79 per year, but you do get value for money. This membership provides free 2-day shipping for all stocked items, as well as special discounts for overnight deliveries. On top of that, you can stream a ton of movies for free. That is another way to save money.
Be careful purchasing an item from a retailer that is not familiar to you. Make sure there are security signs from Cybertrust or Verisign so that you know they’re not a scam.
Be sure to opt into your favorite stores’ newsletters to get excellent coupons. Often stores give their best coupons and discounts to those that have signed up for the first time. This is ongoing, so it really pays to opt in to a website mailing list.
TIP! Always read all of the details and disclaimers about items that you are looking into buying. Sometimes an image online is not what it seems.
If you shop online, always use a computer that has a secure Internet connection, preferably in your own home. Hackers look for WI-Fi connections in public places when they are scouting for victims, so avoid shopping when using them.
Search online discount retailers and auction sites before making a purchase at a large retailer. The deals online are typically much better than those locally. That can save you a ton with no loss in benefits. Check the return policies, though. It can be different at each place.
Review the purchase information carefully before you submit your order. Take a few moments to ensure that you have selected the correct item, color, size, and style. Be sure that the items in your cart or the items you want.
TIP! Try to shop on sites that offer Live Help or Live Chat. These particular options will assist you in answering any questions and problems you may encounter without having to make a phone call or send an email.
If you are not familiar with Internet auctions, look for information about how disputes are handled before buying anything. A lot of websites will act like an intermediary so that disputes can be resolved. Other times, they simply host the auction and refuse to get involved in any disputes.
Refurbished products can also be surplus inventory. Look at the item’s description to see if it’s overstock or repaired. You can score lower prices on refurbished and surplus items.
Refurbished doesn’t just mean repaired, it also means surplus. The description of the item should tell you whether it’s been repaired or it was part of an overstock. Searching out deals on refurbished or surplus items is always a good idea.
TIP! Take password creation very seriously. Try to use phrases that are very hard for people to guess.
A lot of online retailers will give you coupon codes if you register to get their newsletters or their social media updates. Signing up for something or following their social media page doesn’t take long and you’ll get a lot of news about deals later on.
Many websites will show you any daily deals that are going on. You should be careful if they appear too good, though. You’ll want to make sure that it is a real deal. Make sure that you always check out shipping costs, any limits, and if it’s from a reputable seller.
TIP! Only purchase online from companies located in the your own country. When you purchase something from these vendors you get state and federal consumer protection laws behind you.
Shopping through the Internet has become very popular, and it’s not hard to see why. The variety available proves there is something for everyone. With the advice given to you above, it should be ready to go online and start shopping. | 2019-04-21T10:52:44 | https://www.justcarrier.com/news/what-you-should-know-before-spending-any-money-online/ |

Will Barton hopes to stay with the Nuggets after his contract expires next summer.
“I came here and Denver gave me a chance to play so that’s always in the back of my mind, wanting to stay here and see how far we can take it,” Barton said. His versatility is key to the Nuggets depth. Barton averaged over 13 points in 28 minutes per game a season ago. He’s currently a late-round fantasy choice. | 2019-04-25T12:07:15 | https://www.hoop-ball.com/nba-fantasy-news-and-advice/nba-fantasy-adds-and-drops/fantasy-basketball-news-breaking/will-barton-hopes-hes-found-a-home-in-denver/ |
You can see debris in the background of this next photo, at the mouth of the burrow. This is quite typical of these owls, who sometimes also bring cattle dung in thought to help with the microclimate inside the burrow and to attract insects that the family will then eat.
I found this video on youtube and thought I’d share. Uploaded by youtuber Khodr Chehab, an avid skywatcher and birder, it shows a family of burrowing owls catching some morning sun just outside their burrow. Their typical long legs (that enable them to sprint after prey) and their inquisitive facial disk make for a fun video to watch. Enjoy! | 2019-04-18T22:18:04 | https://earthwindanddaisies.com/2015/05/23/burrowing-owl-photo/ |
There’s a giant ad on the side of a building in Las Vegas, making a wordplay on the classic “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” line. Nothing unusual about that, except it’s been set up by Apple just in time for the Consumer Electronics Show’s arrival in town, an event that the iPhone maker traditionally pretends isn’t even happening.
Taking over the side of a hotel strategically positioned right next to the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), Apple’s multi-story ad keeps things simple: “What happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone.” Below that resides a link to apple.com/privacy, where the company expounds at greater length about the security of things like Apple Pay, Face ID, and the health data collected by the Apple Watch. Every person attending CES this coming week will inevitably see this stark white-on-black ad.
In spite of never having a formal presence at CES, Apple has always been the invisible elephant in the convention halls, with device and accessory makers committing time and resources to building out the Apple ecosystem. In recent times, however, it’s been Amazon’s Alexa and Google’s Assistant that have taken over primacy at CES, and now Apple is striking back with an expertly judged troll ad.
Taking on precisely the opposite color scheme, black text on a white background, is Google with its new, massively expanded presence outside the LVCC. One corner of the LVCC parking lot is entirely taken up by Google showing off its Assistant wares. The local monorail, which passes by the CES venue, is also stickered up with Google banners, and additional “Hey Google” branding can be seen all across the LVCC. Like last year, Google’s investing heavily in promoting the Assistant as a strong Alexa competitor and the focal point of CES. It’s just that this year Apple has something snarky to say about it.
Apple isn’t wrong to tout its privacy advantage. Amazon’s Alexa has had embarrassing failures on this front: first by recording a private conversation and sending it to a different user, and then by mistakenly sending a user 1,700 voice recordings from another. As to Google Assistant and Android — the primary / only rival to the iPhone — there have been numerous privacy infractions from Android device makers surreptitiously tracking user information (hello, OnePlus and Blu), and Google’s own business model is predicated on exploiting user data for commercial gain. Apple can afford to be more noble because it sells hardware rather than ads.
Though Apple’s privacy may be superior to its rivals, it’s not without fault. iPhone users in China, for instance, are far less protected from state snooping than their US counterparts. And Apple’s tardiness in implementing two-factor authentication likely contributed to high-profile iCloud accounts being compromised in the infamous Celebgate photo leak. If Apple wants to live up to the full meaning of the words it has emblazoned on the side of a building this week, it ought to ensure its privacy protections are impenetrable and apply with equal strength everywhere across the world. Otherwise, this might all look a bit hypocritical. | 2019-04-26T10:38:19 | http://2u2c.net/index.php/2019/01/05/apple-trolls-ces-with-a-giant-dig-at-android-and-alexa-privacy/ |

Are you signing up an INDIVIDUAL? Please sign up online using the form to the right of this page or by filling out the registration form. If you are registering a bonspiel, please click here.
Individuals will register for the Circuit by paying a $30.00 entry fee for the season and then enter bonspiels as usual.
All Circuit members must be dues paying USWCA curlers.
Points are earned at any Circuit Bonspiel and a curler’s total points for the season are the sum of her best three competitions.
In order to earn points at a bonspiel, there must be a minimum of two Circuit members on a team and the bonspiel must be entered in the Circuit.
At the end of the season, the top curlers in each area will split the prize money.
The complete rules for the Circuit are below.
The competition will be within each USWCA area.
Curlers will be competing for prizes against other competitors in their own region.
Curlers can get points in any Circuit Bonspiel anywhere in the Country, with the top three results counting for points. Curlers register for the Circuit by paying a season entry fee of $30.00.
Points will only be awarded for bonspiels entered after the registration fee is paid.
If a curler registers at a Circuit Bonspiel, the entry fee must be paid before her team’s second game of the bonspiel.
At least two Circuit members must be on the team for a curler to get Circuit points from the Bonspiel.
To pay the season entry fee, print the registration form and mail it with a check to the address on the form or fill out the online registration form on the right and make the payment by credit card through PayPal.
Circuit participants must be a female dues paying member of the USWCA.
All team members must have reached the age of 16 before December 1, of the current year. The Circuit will attempt to have at least three bonspiels per area that will accept curlers under 21, but cannot guarantee it.
The list of Circuit Bonspiels can be found on the Participating Bonspiels page. If your USWCA club wants to include its women’s bonspiel in the Circuit, registration information is available on the Club Participation page.
A curler’s total points at the end of the season will be the sum of her top three point total bonspiels.
There will be multiple prizes per area based on the number of participating curlers in each area.
Each USWCA area will have its own prize pool unless an area has less than 3 bonspiels and or 8 curlers sign up for the Circuit. If the participation level falls below this level, two areas will be combined.
Prize money comes from Sponsors, bonspiels and participants in each region, less a small administrative cost.
Should any situations or discrepancies arise that are not covered by these rules, a USWCA Curling Circuit Review Board shall be convened to make a final decision. The Review Board shall include 3 members of the USWCA’s Curling Circuit Committee.
Fee may be collected by club reps, mailed to the Circuit Chairwoman, Kristin Smith at 9065 N. 70th St., Milwaukee, WI 53223, or through PayPal using the form on the right of this page.
All first event game wins are worth 100 points. All other event game wins are worth 60 points. A First event final win is worth 200 points.
For a Circuit member to gain bonus points for other event final win/loss she must have one first event win or two other event wins prior to the Final. In the event that a first event winner does not earn the most points, of all the Circuit teams, their point total will be increased by 50 points more than the second highest points total. This scenario may occur when an unequal number of games are played to reach the first event final.
Standings will be maintained on the USWCA Website. Results submitted by Bonspiel chairs to the Curling Circuit Chair shall be considered the official results. Registered participants are encouraged to monitor the site and verify that their point totals are correct. Any discrepancies should be reported to the Circuit Chair, Kristin Smith, by going to the Contact page to 'Send us a message'. Please mention Circuit Discrepancy in the message box. | 2019-04-22T18:45:46 | http://www.uswca.org/circuit-individual-application |
Is your pet getting older? Is your pet’s muzzle going gray? Or is your pet is moving more slowly than he/she used to?
Pets age approximately 6 to 7 years for every human year, and are considered seniors after 7 years of age.
Much like humans, pets develop a higher susceptibility to injury, illness, and disease as they age. Once your pet reaches the age of seven or eight, it’s advisable to schedule fitness checkups twice a year.
Such exams can be vital in detecting the early onset of disease or illness, so we can start the appropriate care and treatment as soon as possible. Typically, the earlier the treatment, the healthier and happier your pet will be for years to come.
Always delivering compassionate, quality veterinary care, you can depend on our professional veterinarians and staff to provide your senior pet with superior wellness services. With gentle hands and caring hearts, we treat your pet like family.
We are not just looking to extend the life of your animal with our comprehensive care, but we believe that the quality of life is just as important as the quantity.We work with you to plan the appropriate care to ensure that your pet has a long and happy life.
Age-related changes such as arthritis, vision and hearing losses are normal and cannot be prevented. But many other diseases can be prevented and treated successfully if detected early.
Early diagnosis of any issue is very important in implementing any treatment or behavior modifications. Changing behaviors in the way your pet acts, eats, as well as food preferences, bathroom habits and temperament are all indicators of the overall well-being of your pet. Any physical or behavioral change may be an indicator that something is wrong.
Identifying the cause of these symptoms as early as possible allows us to treat with the least invasive measures.
As with humans, the care a pet receives throughout its lifetime is important to longevity.
Our veterinarians may make other recommendations for your pet based upon results of the physical exam. Contact us today for your senior pet’s care at 0413958100. | 2019-04-19T12:49:39 | https://www.myfamilypetvet.com/senior-pet-care/ |
Jeb Bush, who has lately been pushing the meme that “he is his own man” has hired an openly gay man as his top communications aide as a precursor to his a presumed 2016 Republican presidential hopeful run .
The chosen quisling in question, Tim Miller, (pictured above right) is currently executive director of the America Rising Political Action Committee (PAC) and wrote on Twitter Friday (20 February): ‘Thrilled and honored to work for a great person with the right message.
Jeb Bush plans to name Tim Miller, executive director of America Rising PAC, as his top communications aide, Republican sources told POLITICO on Friday. Miller initially will be a senior adviser to Bush’s Right to Rise PAC, and is expected to become communications director if Bush launches his campaign. Kristy Campbell, who has been the PAC’s chief spokesperson, likely will be national press secretary of the campaign, or have some senior communications adviser role. Miller is an aggressive, younger operative who can be expected to inject a pugilistic style into Bush’s high command. America Rising – based in Arlington, Va. — is the two-year-old GOP opposition-research group that relentlessly spattered Democratic Senate candidates during the last cycle.
Being a self loathing quisling sure must pay well. | 2019-04-22T20:01:30 | http://www.back2stonewall.com/2015/02/ken-melhman-2-electric-bugaloo-bush-hires-gay-man-communications-director.html |
