The story is set against a wonderful evocation of 16th-century Verona, and includes a bustling marketplace that erupts into a violent sword fight, and a lavish ball held in an elegant mansion.
MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet first arrived at Covent Garden in 1965. Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn took the title roles on the opening night – MacMillan had originally created the work on Lynn Seymour and Christopher Gable. Nevertheless, Fonteyn and Nureyev’s performance had a rapturous reception, with 43 curtain calls and almost forty minutes of applause. The ballet has been at the heart of the Company’s repertory ever since, amassing more than four hundred performances. This classic production has been toured around the world and in 2011 was adapted for arena-scale performances at the O2 Arena. | 2019-04-19T15:05:52 | https://www.londonmusicals.se/romeo-and-juliet-mariinsky-ballet |
I think you have to look long term and understand how is this charge, if it’s on my record, going to impact me?
I have young people who get charged with alcohol offenses, marijuana possession and sometimes they don’t think long term and understand that offense is going to be on their record for the rest of their life.
I definitely advise folks to at least consult with an attorney even on traffic tickets. Traffic tickets have DMV consequences and they have insurance consequences and lots of times people don’t know when a particular ticket may result in a revocation of their driver’s license.
It’s always important at least to consult a lawyer on any criminal case just to make sure that you’re not doing something that’s going to affect you for the long term. | 2019-04-19T06:50:54 | http://www.deweybrinkleylaw.com/raleigh-misdemeanor-attorney-can-help-simple-misdemeanor-charge-video/ |

The Aurora Borealis is truly one of the natural wonders of the world, and capturing it in its full glory is one of the major ambitions of a host of photography enthusiasts. Yet there are a number of challenges that present themselves when seeking to photograph this natural phenomenon: challenging weather conditions, light pollution, below-par activity and unsuitable equipment spring immediately to mind.
At least two elements on this list can be immediately tackled. Light pollution can be avoided by following the advice of a number of useful websites which detail such things, such as the Blue Marble Light Pollution Map which is produced in a joint effort between Google and NASA. As for the Northern Lights themselves, check the website of the Space Weather Prediction Center which gives you the probability of witnessing an aurora.
As for the weather and the equipment, the first thing to do is ensure that your equipment is weatherproof. If it even needs to be said, that probably rules out your average smartphone already. A weatherproof camera is an absolute must. As for other equipment demands, there are other non-negotiable criteria which you should look out for before deciding on the best camera to select for the job of photographing the Northern Lights. Every camera on our list fulfils this criteria, yet it is always good to have these points in mind when ultimately deciding on the camera for the task.
"Without doubt, consider the angle of the lens - the last thing you want is to discover you cannot fit in the whole sky," cautions Joel O'Hara, a photography expert at Last minute writing and Writinity.
The speed of the lens if of course also important in getting a great picture, and f/2.8 is highly desirable.
Finally, you want a camera that can perform the dual function of filming long exposures but simultaneously at a high level of sensitivity (ISO). It is imperative that your camera can perform both.
So what are the best cameras on the market for capturing the Northern Lights?
Every camera on this list is going to need to tick the two boxes of high resolution and weather suitability. The Nikon D850 matches these two central criterions perfectly. It is a digital single-lens reflex camera a full-frame CMOS sensor size and 45MP resolution, this model boasts an interchangeable lens and optical viewfinder. It is also comes complete with a 32-inch tilting touchscreen, yet is robust enough to withstand the icy temperatures almost ever-present when photographing an aurora.
A full-frame camera is truly non-negotiable when we are discussing capturing an aurora, and the 6D MK II is Canon's cheapest available model of this kind. With a 26.2 megapixel sensor its resolution is more in line with rivals from Nikon and Sony, where the old model used to fall down with its 20.2. It also has a vari-angle rear touchscreen which is perfect for capturing those night skies.
This is the latest release from Sony in the full-frame high-resolution range. It's expensive, with a 42.4MP sensor and 10fps continuous shooting ability. It also has a tilting electronic screen, and is a mirrorless camera. Crucially for shooting an aurora, it boasts a combination of high resolution, rapid shooting speed and high ISO images.
This is Sony's most expensive full-frame mirrorless camera, and is really step up from the A7R III. It's pushing the boat out price-wise, but we truly are talking about perhaps the cream of the crop when it comes to cameras of this class. Features include a full-electronic system, 24.2 megapixel sensor, 20fps shooting speed, and a revolutionary blackout-free shooting function which allows you to track your target, making it the camera of choice for many sports photographers. Granted, that may be overkill for shooting an aurora, but this is a camera of the very finest quality.
If you are restricted by budget and can't plump for the full-frame camera, a crop-sensor APS-C camera is a pretty good fallback option that will give you a mighty fine image. The Canon EOS 800D works like a 75mm lens on a full-frame DSLR, and it still has a high ISO. It's a great option for a lower price.
With these cameras in mind, there is one piece of practical advice to follow.
"My one tip to all those interested in photographing the Northern Lights, or anything for that matter, is to take a few test shots at home first. Why would you take the risk of travelling all that way, only to find that your equipment is insufficient, faulty, or you don't know how to properly use it. Believe me, it happens," cautions Megan Chalmers, a business writer at Draft beyond and Research papers UK.

Today is an odd day… last day at my summer job and I have to say good bye to a lot of people and things. It is also the day that we got our LOA = the last paper from China saying we were allowed to adopt Linnea – 4 years have passed since that happy day!
Now we need to pack for our first trip to Copenhagen this weekend. On Saturday morning we’ll drive to my mother and we’ll have a lot to prepare for her party on Sunday.
I’ll also visit my old friend Fatima, who gave birth to a little girl in April. That I really look forward to.
On Sunday morning we’ll wake up my mother with a lot of presents and then all her friends and our family will come for brunch at 11 am.
After my mothers party it will be time to pack for Crete! That will be next week – this week focus is on my mother – the best in the world!
Grattis till dig mormor Lise på din kommande dag !
Hoppas att efter er semester att du får ett nytt jobb. Med all din utbildning borde det ju inte vara svårt.
Ja, Mette, igen noget “nyt” – arbejdsløs har du jo været før, men aldrig til din mors 70 års fødselsdag og aldrig været på Kreta sammen med mand, barn og mor – og det er begge dele spændende.
Når vi så atter er på vore pinde, håber jeg, du vil få en god hverdag med eller uden job.
Og tak til Tinna, hvis du ser denne hilsen.
Vi ønsker dig en rigtig god dag på aså dag sammen med familie & venner, samt en rigtig god Fredie. | 2019-04-22T11:07:51 | https://soemberg.dk/2011/08/soon/ |
Our client is a private equity fund manager based in Toronto focused on mid-market buy-out opportunities in Canada and the US. They purchased a US pet treat company with the objective of building the company organically and through business acquisitions. In order to meet this goal, they needed to hire an executive team consisting of a CFO, a head of sales and a head of supply chain. They needed individuals with specific industry knowledge as well as experience working with private equity firms. Furthermore, they had to be experienced and accomplished in their functional areas of expertise. It was also important that they would complement the existing bench strength in their leadership and work together as a high functioning executive team. We were brought on board to source these individuals.
We met with the incumbent leadership team including the President and the Board to gain a thorough understanding of our mandate. We developed a company profile and reviewed the organizational structure to understand how these roles fit within the company. Together, we drafted position profiles for each role as well as a go-to-market strategy to identify top candidates. Prospective candidates were personally researched, recruited, interviewed and assessed. Short-listed candidates were presented and recommendations made based on their qualifications and fit. We sequenced the hiring plan to first target the sales role, followed by the supply chain role and then the finance role. A winning team was lined up.
We undertook an exhaustive search of the marketplace until we found individuals that fit the criteria of having relevant industry, private equity and functional area experience. The new VP Sales had extensive experience in the pet food industry and previously worked in a leading company that was private-equity owned. The VP Supply Chain also came from a private-equity owned company that was recently sold to a strategic buyer. The CFO was sourced from the food industry, having most recently been involved in the divestiture of a business to a private-equity firm. We put in place this highly competent leadership team which was well-positioned to move the company forward in their growth objectives. | 2019-04-19T20:18:12 | http://mandrake.ca/corporate/case_studies/case_details.asp?Id=C7798303-022B-4AC1-B5E4-8F9CD9A32796 |

I have to confess that I really really love weddings where the groom is totally into it. Totally into the experience, and obviously, totally into marrying the love of his life. It makes such a difference when the groom is expressive in his enthusiasm for the wedding day. And here we have Steve … and Juana. I will let the photographs speak for themselves, and you can easily see the energy and mischievousness and all the other joyful expressions of this couple, clearly in love.
Juana and Steve’s wedding day was held at the Rockleigh Country Club – a venue I like photographing at because of the large gardens and pretty surroundings. The preparation, wedding ceremony and reception all took place at the venue. That left us with enough time for lovely photographs. And here they are. I’m quite proud of this set.
Juana and Steve, it was a fantastic experience working with you as your wedding photographer. Best wishes for your future together.
I enjoyed looking through your portfolio here & had a question as to your kit; I wondered what flash combination you use indoors? I use a Nikon SB800 but always find it really difficult to use indoors for the larger room shots without ramping up the ISO which effectively makes the flash act as a fill-in, otherwise the exposure always falls off dramatically further from the lens. Your images seem much more evenly lit indoors therefore I thought that I would ask how you go about it?
These two articles should help explain what I do. | 2019-04-22T04:50:55 | https://oneperfectmoment.com/wedding-photographer-rockleigh-country-club-nj/ |

1. Attach the ends of the leather to one of the flat closures and clamp it down with your pliers until it is secure. I spaced my leather out so that it filled the entire clasp, instead of letting their be space on either side of the leather inside the clasp.
2. Tape the clasp end to a table or flat surface and braid the leather. Make sure that the front of the leather stays up as you braid.
3. Once you get to your desired length, (measure your wrist) mine was 7″, then cut the leather and put the other flat clasp on.
4. Using jump rings attach the magnetic closures to the flat clasp ends. You’re done! wow, that was fast, right?! | 2019-04-24T12:28:45 | https://www.handmadeintheheartland.com/diy-leather-braided-bracelet/ |

Further enforcing the point that his time with One Direction was one entirely bereft of joy and good times, shade king Zayn Malik admits he wanted out of the group from the start.
Zayn -- whose immaculately crafted face is so perfectly symmetrical, so overwhelming in its otherworldliness, it could make a believer out of even the most stringent atheist -- quickly realized the group's bubblegum pop (which eventually evolved into classic rock-inspired dad jams) wasn't the right fit for him.
Kicking things off with a 1D-related quip, he said, "I realized the direction we were going in -- mind the pun -- with the music, I instantly knew it wasn't for me because I realized I couldn't put any input in."
Rather than fight the rest of the group on their sound, Zayn chose to go with the flow instead: "You kind of just go with whatever's going on, and I didn't want to be the person to say 'I was right' because who am I to say [that]?"
Still, Zayn says, the rest of the group engaged his vocal style as best they could: "I think the boys kind of knew that wasn't my cup of tea...They would try to facilitate certain things for me so I could sing certain R&B ad-libs here and there, and that was nice."
When it was time for Zayn to quit, though, the rest of the group didn't put up much of a fight.
"They obviously didn't want me to leave," he said. "But they couldn't talk me out of it at that point. I'd already made my mind up."
So it is that Zayn is a solo act, so it is that One Direction have succumbed to the infamous boyband hiatus.
Zayn's first official single "Pillow Talk" doesn't drop until Friday (January 29), but be sure to tune for his full interview with Zane Lowe when it airs on Apple Beats 1 Radio tomorrow at 12PM EST. | 2019-04-23T14:49:18 | https://wdbqam.com/zayn-malik-one-direction-zane-lowe-interview/ |
Moxibustion is a form of heat therapy that originated from China more than 2500 years ago. The goal of moxibustion is to balance the body, ensure consistency of airflow and achieve equilibrium. The therapy is carried out by burning “moxa” (dried plant materials) near the skin’s surface. This powerful method of using herbs has a long history that dates back to ancient China and medieval Europe, but still used in civil societies to relieve stomach pain, irregular menstruation, anxiety and itching of the skin. However, although moxibustion is beneficial to the human body, it has its drawbacks. SMARTMOXA is designed to improve traditional ways of practising moxibustion. It does not require any burning of “moxa”, where users can burn themselves by accident, cause fire hazards, or produce lots of smoke. By replacing the need for traditional “moxa” sticks, it makes moxibustion safer and more convenient for everyone. To use SMARTMOXA, simply add high-purity “moxa” into the device and turn on the tail cap switch to get the device going. The high-purity “moxa” is heated to 250 degrees Celsius, the optimum temperature to send energy into the human body. The device’s 3200mAh battery allows the entire equipment system to run continuously for 90 minutes, where a moxibustion process usually runs for 5 to 10 minutes at a time. | 2019-04-24T18:33:26 | https://www.red-dot.org/de/project/smartmoxa-26097/ |
A fast-changing environment forces farmers to think differently.
After his first two sentences, I knew that Joel Yiri from Jirapa was the man I was looking for. I had asked Peter Kuupenne, an extension officer from Ghana’s Ministry of Food and Agriculture, to meet “a creative farmer”. And that is what I found: Joel was a man with a vision.
From that moment on, I just knew it was going to be an interesting testimonial as part of the series we were recording for the Adaptation and Mitigation Knowledge Network project.
Joel inherited his plot of land from his father, but the soil had become infertile. For years he was one of the many migrant workers who go south to farm on other people’s land. “But I realised I was wasting my energy. I work on someone else’s land to earn money and buy food. Why not farm my own plots?”.
Every year the rains have started later and stopped earlier. To make matters worse, the first rains are often followed by a drought, which sometimes lasts for a month. That’s why Joel is looking further ahead: “I want to take a micro-finance loan to dig a borehole on my land. If I have access to water I could grow vegetables even during the dry season. A borehole with a simple irrigation system would cost about US$7000.” It’s a considerable investment, but Joel is sure he could pay back the loan in two years.
“An NGO came to look at my plot. They found termite heaps and several indigenous scrubs indicating there is water nearby, so they won’t have to dig deep. My plot is ready. With my 65 pigs I have enough manure to treat that surface, so the only thing I now need is water. It would also benefit the other people on the nearby plots.
“Farmers should be thinking of the future,” Joel concludes, “We should farm differently from our grandfathers. They took to farming only as a way to survive – to eat. If a crop failed, the next year they would try the same thing again, and again.
The way ahead for researchers and smallholder farmers facing current and coming challenges posed by climate change lies in learning from each other while sharing knowledge and experiences.
The Adaptation and Mitigation Knowledge Network (AMKN) is a central place for accessing and sharing current agricultural adaptation and mitigation knowledge. It illustrates farmers’ realities on the ground and links them with promising scientific research outputs to inspire new ideas and highlight the current challenges that need to be tackled to improve climate change resilience and the livelihoods of smallholder farmers.
The AMKN is an initiative of the Climate Change Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) program.

NAGURU – Days after the close of the January transfer window, Police FC have unveiled five new additions to their squad.
Key among the new players that were shown to the Media at the club’s head quarters in Naguru was former Proline and Kaizer Chiefs defender Ivan Bukenya.
Bukenya joins the Cops from Swedish third tier side, Linkoping FC for whom he has been playing since early last year. He is expected to feature for the Cops until the end of the season.

“However, we are hoping to improve on our staff, improve on our playground and work on players’ remuneration as we expect the players to deliver.
The other new players include defender Edgar Sharp Bwogi who last season featured at Express FC, Kasozi Kennedy from Vipers (loan), Alfred Oginyera and Kiryowa Gerard who both join from Farmers FC in the regional league.
Kiryowa and Bwogi signed one year deals, each while goalkeeper Oginyera put pen to paper on a two year contract and will deputise Davis Mutebi who has featured in all of Police’s first 16 games this season.
Police are set to take on Express FC today (Monday) at Wankulukuku in their 17th League game of the season.
They are currently 10th in the League standings with 21 points so far. | 2019-04-21T20:05:16 | http://www.pmldaily.com/sports/2019/02/ivan-bukenya-unveild-as-police-fc-player.html |

Today’s dram is one of the cask strength premium editions which was distilled in 2004 and bottled in 2015 and it’s 59.8% vol. I believe this was originally released for the German market.
Ooh did someone order Christmas cake? Fruitilicious baby! And chocolate from an advent calendar too…there’s a slight little mustiness that also gives allspice and the merest hints of orange rind.
Quite a powerful first sip, but of course this is cask strength and it shows. It’s a bit of a sherry tease. The spice is apparent and so is the orange. It’s sweet from the rich fruits I noticed on the nose and there’s a lovely flavour of oak too.
Warming fruity finish with oak and milk chocolate sweetness just levelled by the spice. And some malty notes too. | 2019-04-18T20:59:27 | https://ilovewhisky.blog/2017/12/11/inside-the-glenfarclas-advent-calendar-day-11/ |

In my opinion, one of the most fascinating parts of history is the conflict which has arisen in every period – such as disagreements between religions, or punishments under different monarchies. I was therefore delighted to be participating in Durham Book Festival’s ‘Into the archives’ event. A handful of us had the opportunity to delve into some of the most dangerous books in the world (all relating to freedom of speech). This was followed by discussions led by Dr Alex Barber, a history lecturer at Durham University.
The oldest book at the event was 500 years old. Dr Barber explained why certain materials were so dangerous to have, including John Milton’s Areopagitica (which argued that ideas should be left free), or those artefacts regarding William Prynne (who had his ears cropped for seditious libel). The fascinating books within the archives have many sources, leading back to historic families in Bamburgh, and collectors such as Thomason. A book seller in the 1640s, he built up a large collection which participants at the event could admire and inspect for themselves.
The artefacts of the event allowed us a glimpse into how dangerous ideas have been handled over the past 500 years. For example, certain extracts of the material were scribbled out by authorities, who believed these views should no longer be taught, and meted out severe punishments to those found in possession of them.
After the event ended, I had the chance to sit down with the event host Dr Alex Barber, who explained why he was so passionate about freedom of speech in history, and where his interests began.
Where did your interest in history begin, and what is your experience with history?
I loved history at school! I suppose it might have been the only thing that I was really good at. I was really lucky… I went to University and met a really inspiring and passionate lecturer called Justin Champion. He was a Professor of ideas, and was one of those people who could really show you the passion that he had for history as well.
I’m interested in people and how they produce things. I actually really love ideas: how and when people write (and think!) about ideas; how they change our society. I think its’s quite unusual for many historians now, as they are social historians or very political historians. I was taught about ideas, so I continued to love them a lot, and that’s still what I’m really passionate about.
What do you think is most difficult about being a historian?
There are two really positive things about good historians. Good historians like being confused and wrong! Sure, you don’t want to be wrong for the rest of your life, but being confused and wrong means you’re going to learn, and you’re going to think about new ideas. That side of it is hard because I think (especially when you’re young) that it’s really difficult to be confused and wrong and it worries people, but that is one of the great things about being a historian. It’s hard even as you get older, because you’re desperate to be right, but I think you learn that process and that’s really important for our society.
The other thing is that good academics and good researchers (as well as good historians) ask good research questions. That’s how you learn – you learn to ask, you learn to look at difficult material and to ask difficult questions. That again is a really hard thing to learn, but once you learn it, it really makes a difference.
I know you mentioned earlier that you’re writing a book on freedom of speech which isn’t finished or published yet, but what can you tell me about that?
I’m writing a book about the lapse of the Licensing Act of 1695, which is a piece of legislation requiring you to talk to the government before you publish something. It accidentally lapsed and causes huge amounts of extra publication. So, in scholarship, it is seen as a key moment in the development of English society: where England becomes modern, because modern society is a space to believe in a free press and free speech. One of the things I wanted to write about was that whilst that might be true over the long period, when I read all the material around it, I realised that most people didn’t think that at the time. They thought that it was a really difficult moment and it caused instability in our society. | 2019-04-21T10:36:03 | http://durhambookfestival.com/read/event-review-inside-the-archives-the-most-dangerous-books-in-the-world/ |
Are you fully prepared for the cabin crew recruitment process? At most airline’s, long gone are the days where you could simply turn up at an Open Day and hope the recruiter liked the look of you. Nowadays, you have to submit a detailed online application including a bespoke resume or CV to stand a chance.
But it’s not just your initial application that you’ll need to have prepared in advance. Are you also ready to face the cabin crew entry tests? As part of the application process, you’ll also be expected to complete a series of online exams – and if you don’t score high enough, your application will be automatically disqualified.
The process is familiar at leading airline’s around the world. From North America to Europe, Asia to Australasia – recruiters are adding this extra step into the recruitment process everywhere. It’s even happening at airline’s that you might not expect – Emirates will be introducing a new series of tests when they restart cabin crew recruitment later this year.
Luckily, we’ve sat through many of these online cabin crew exams and know exactly what international airlines are testing candidates on. With that knowledge, we’ve created a series of bespoke practice tests to help you prepare for the cabin crew application tests. And the best bit? – they’re completely free!
For the time being, we’ve focused on two practice English language tests and two reading and comprehension tests – the most popular ones you’ll be faced with. These mimic the exact tests you’ll be faced with, in order to prepare you as best as possible.
We’ve developed two practice English fluency tests that based on what leading international airlines use during their cabin crew recruitment process. This style of test is used at major Middle East carriers, including Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways and flydubai. You’ll also find this style of test used at airlines such as Singapore Airlines and a number of European airlines.
For some airlines, even if you’re not expected to do one of these tests at the application stage, you’ll still need to complete it at an Assessment Day – such as Etihad or Qatar Airways.
How good is your memory? And for that matter, how good are you at paying attention? That’s what this test is all about – making sure you can take in valuable information and then be able to recall it when needed. This is vital, not only for getting through the tough cabin crew training course but also for dealing with incidents on board an aircraft.
This is an incredibly popular test and is used to see whether you can cope under pressure. With only a short amount of time, you need to work quickly but accurately – making sure you’ve got the right information to answer the question correctly.
A very good point Alana! We’re actually working on some numerical tests at the moment – and as before, they are very closely based on real tests used by airlines.

The Summer of Love — 1967 — served as the epicenter of the counter-culture, beckoning thousands of young people to the San Francisco Bay Area. Flower Power was up, war was down, the Monterey International Pop Festival served as a precursor to Woodstock, and two young sound enthusiasts named John and Helen, went on a date at a Berkeley hi-fi shop to hear The Beatles seminal, psychedelic Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
That same year, John Meyer was tapped by Steve Miller to develop a better sound system for the blues rocker’s Monterey Pop performance. While it would be another decade before Meyer Sound was formally founded, this formative period laid the cornerstones for a company that would blaze sonic trails, and provide innovative audio experiences, decade after decade, from the analog into the digital ages.
Throughout 2017, to celebrate their love, and the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love, John and Helen Meyer will visit key Meyer Sound customers, host exclusive curated events in Meyer Sound environments at the company’s Berkeley, California campus, in the San Francisco Bay Area, around the US, and around the world. John and Helen will highlight their innovative, handcrafted audio products, systems and ideas — for live music of all genres in concert halls and stadiums, corporate settings, educational arenas, theatres, houses of worship, restaurants, cinema post-production and exhibition, fine art projects, and more.
While Meyer Sound can be experienced in many places around the world, the magic truly comes to life in a personal behind-the-scenes tour of the factory and laboratories with the company’s co-founders, and other key members of the Meyer Sound family, in Berkeley. The world’s most notable sound designers and engineers leave amazed by the artistry, passion and vision that goes into every system and sound concept. As part of the celebration this year, the gates to the campus will open to a few lucky guests through a contest for an all-expense paid trip to visit Meyer Sound in Berkeley. Details to be announced soon. As a central hub for information about Meyer Sound innovation, products, ideas, and the Summer of Love 50th anniversary celebration details, the new Meyer Sound website launches today: meyersound.com. | 2019-04-19T02:25:35 | https://meyersound.com/news/summer-of-love/ |
Change is in the air concerning fire doors and related risk critical products and everyone should be aware of the urgent need to specify truly compliant products that play a significant role in the process of safety.
Intratone has installed 25 of its digital noticeboards in the communal areas of a number of tower blocks in Stockport Housing Group’s property portfolio supporting the group’s aim of enhancing digital communications.
Following the Grenfell disaster and the West Hampstead balcony fires, it was only a matter of time before safety concerns gave rise to statutory measures and those changes arrived in December 2018. Will Forbes, Technical Project Lead at balcony specialist Neaco, explains their impact on design and specification.
Dr. Barbara Lane's recent report raised numerous questions about the overall management of the smoke control installation at Grenfell. | 2019-04-25T10:21:16 | https://hamag.co.uk/product-news/housingservices?page=0 |

Waste is just an unused output. If the output is unusable, or downright dangerous, we probably shouldn't be producing it in the first place (plutonium for example).

It started in 1992, with a back problem that would require surgery and a 3 to 6 week recovery to restore my daily functioning and relieve my pain. Immediately after the surgery I knew something went seriously wrong. From that day on, my life and family was forever changed, but was definitely not ruined or wasted.
In the spring of 1993, Debbie and I were introduced to a faith in God in a very different way than how we were taught growing up. We started off applying the principles and values that we were learning into our everyday family life, and almost immediately we began to see a change. Our marriage grew healthy, stable, and strong; and family life with our two children was no longer out of control. We went from a potential divorce to a workable and agreed upon game plan that followed the teachings and beliefs of the Bible. Our life did not get easier, however. I was permanently disabled (I was also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1999); our income was drastically reduced; and we lost our home, my pension, and our medical benefits. Despite all this, our faith continued to grow, and we made it our mission to live out the “Love thy Neighbor” principle as a way to share our faith in a very tangible way.
From our introduction to faith in 1993 to years later in 2007, I received a biblically-based education from Moody Bible College, did some basic study with the American Association of Christian Counselors, served in youth ministry, and began ministering to marriages that were in need of help. After these years of extensive volunteer ministry work, I began to feel the calling to start a ministry of hope.
It was this same year in 2007, while ministering in a nursing home to a person I had never met before, I was asked by the nurse why I was there and why I cared about a complete stranger. Without thinking, I shared from Hebrews 6:19, which implies that no one should leave this world alone or scared. Instead, we have this anchor that is a hope for our soul, firm and secure, and that hope comes from understanding why faith in Jesus Christ matters above all things. With all of these things coming together, Hope for the Soul was officially born.
The hidden part of the story is how God uses me to do all these things on a daily basis while in constant pain. I require extensive chiropractic adjustments weekly and daily 2-4 hour rehabilitative time in order to maintain my mobility and health. In 1999, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, and since then have also had to deal with the repercussions of that disease every day.
Although I am not licensed, I’ve learned that God says a great deal about receiving wise counsel. I do not believe in giving simple answers to complicated questions. I also work hand in hand with a Licensed Professional Counselor and Supervisor (LPCC-S) to offer me wisdom when I need it, and to consult with on a regular basis for ongoing accountability and growth opportunities. In addition, those with more complicated needs can receive the best opportunity for help and change clinically, spiritually, and holistically in this way. As for me, I have a testimony that serves as an example of “If God can do it for me, He can do it for you too.” I believe that by connecting people’s stories with others who have gone through the process before them, it creates a healthy path for hope and healing, even from long-lasting generational dysfunction. When others witness a miracle unfold in one person’s struggle, it proves it can happen in others’ lives as well. God has given me the ability to share my story along with teaching about God’s love and mercy in order to show others the power of faith, the need for daily direction; and ultimately, lead them to a hope for their souls. Never did I imagine that my simple story would morph Hope for the Soul into what it is today. | 2019-04-18T18:55:08 | https://hope4thesoul.com/beginning-of-hope/ |

Commentary: Common Sense — in Berkeley?
How can people live together best? Is it by owning things and working individually, or by sharing things and working together? The 20th century preferred owning, but the 21st century will have to do more sharing—even in a nation blessed with an abundance of space, resources, and wealth.
Recently, the California Studies Association hosted a conference called the “Crisis of the California Commons.” The conference gave me an interesting perspective on Berkeley’s land use struggles.
Broadly, “the commons” is any space or resource that is shared, or used in common, by a defined user group (usually the public, or commoners). The traditional commons includes tangible public spaces like parks, roads, and waterways, accompanied, increasingly, by the means to use those spaces (disabled access, bathrooms, etc.). The commons also includes some provisions of nature: the air we breathe, the water we (or our crops or livestock) drink, greenspace, some energy sources, and perhaps species and genomes. It includes semi-tangible resources, such as the visual commons (views) and the auditory commons (“earspace”), and certain cultural commons embodied in physical form, such as historic buildings. And finally there are the intangible cultural commons: the information or knowledge commons, the legal commons, the moral commons—the entire shared and used database of ideas accumulated over human history.
History reveals a continuous tug-of-war between the expansion and the “enclosure” of the commons. Humankind started out with more in common and less in private, but over time the feudal aristocracy managed to enclose, constrain, or privatize ever more spaces; later, materialism and capitalism continued to commodify resources. These days, more privatization is the agenda of the right, and more “commonism” has been the agenda of the left. Major expansions of the commons have included the Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, the French Revolution, the Bolshevik Revolution, the New Deal, and the Environmental Protection Act. In contrast, perhaps because taking things away from the majority is difficult, enclosures of the commons are rarely so cataclysmic. They are usually quiet, even covert, and incremental (like the privatization of the university or the penal system), and/or very slow (like the conquest of the New World). Hitler’s Enabling Act, the Reagan Revolution, and the Patriot Act are remarkable exceptions.
The public uses the commons, but often the public does not own or control them. They may be privately owned (like media), or public-private partnerships (like private museums, telecommunications, some transit). Politically speaking, the commons are anything a given group of people thinks they are and can successfully claim and defend. Thus the commons are as much psychological as physical, and once the public has appropriated the “space,” it may be politically impossible for the “owner” to retrieve it. This is why the university wants to keep the Memorial Stadium Oak Grove from following People’s Park into the public’s affections. Conversely, private property is that which a given group can successfully keep for themselves, out of the commons. Some may insist that property ownership is the “natural state” and that the commons is the encroacher, but the point is to constructively balance the private and the shared.
Finally, a successful commons must have several critical features. First, it is a negotiated resource or space; it is not a free-for-all space in which users can do anything they want. Second, it is not a space that is available “by right” to those outside the defined user group. Without these rules, the powerful, greedy, needy, or uncivil will inevitably monopolize, abuse, or use up the commons. So ignoring these two vital conditions destroys the commons. Third, the commons is not a serene, utopian place where “we can all just get along”; it is often a contentious space and one that is renegotiated as needed. Finally, the commons is a space that requires constant protection and, in crowded conditions or under high demand, it requires considerable proactive caretaking.
Society has negotiated rules limiting private property rights impacts, both upon other private property and upon the commons (greenspace, parking, views, etc.). Zoning ordinances embody these rules. Use permits (and state density bonus concessions) create exceptions to these rules; they effectively turn bits and pieces of the commons over to private citizens (developers). For example, if the prescribed building height is 30 feet, and a developer gets permission to build to 40 feet, he has taken for his own use 10 feet of the commons, intended to provide others with light and views, to limit overcrowding, etc. Therefore, use permits constitute incremental privatizations of the commons. So do violations of our area plans, although the largest recent privatizations in Berkeley have come from the state density bonus law. The planning staff’s eagerness to expand zoning exceptions and bonus concessions, and to “renegotiate” area plans, are all perceived by us simple commoners as a violation of the public trust, because staff is irrevocably privatizing the commons, rather than protecting them—and us.
The rationale for reducing the commons is that the privatizations are offset by some public benefit, such as more housing. But Berkeleyans are increasingly skeptical: Is the “benefit” really public, or private? And is increased population really a benefit? Additionally, to assess the tradeoff properly, we must recognize both the increased value of the commons and the expanding umbrella of the commons, under increasingly dense living conditions. For example, Berkeley’s back yards are not merely private property but also part of our common livability, our common wealth.
When part of the commons is given away through a use permit, often conditions are placed on the use permit in order to reduce the damage to others. For example, a developer may be permitted to provide less-than-prescribed parking, but only under the condition that he provide valet parking to maximize his spaces. But usually within months the conditions are forgotten, causing unintended further encroachments on the commons. Generally the violations continue for years, because there is no functional system by which the City of Berkeley takes care of the commons. So eventually some citizen has to notice, investigate, and file a complaint. Then the city usually either ignores the complaint or “legalizes” the encroachment. This is another betrayal of the city’s obligation to protect the commons.
Permissiveness is deadly to the commons. For example, let’s say one resident of a rooming house, Booming Bob, likes to play his music very loud. Studious Susan’s right to quiet in her own room should be honored because Bob’s actions cannot violate Susan’s equal right to enjoy her room. But what if Bob’s music goes into the living room, the common space?
Let’s say that Susan wants to use the common room. Although theoretically protected by the rules, she has to ask Bob to turn down his music. So she has to alienate Bob just to assert her standing right to the commons. Or worse, when Shy Sheldon wants to use the commons, he doesn’t confront Bob, but retreats to his room and loses his access to the commons entirely. Bob’s encroachment on the commons has placed undue burdens of labor, ostracism, and risk of retaliation on Susan and disenfranchised Sheldon. Therefore, commons rules (e.g., laws) almost always apply even when nobody else is there, so the commons is always ready for appropriate use by anyone. Individuals should not have to either renegotiate or personally enforce their legitimate rights every time they want to use the commons.
Before long, Susan and Sheldon move out and Dancin’ Donna and Ravin’ Randy move in. Eventually the neighbors of the rooming house also move away. Thus a single uncivil individual, Bob, helped by tolerant Amy and silent Sheldon, eventually destroys a neighborhood. In Berkeley, uncivil behavior has destroyed numerous commons, including most of Southside.
Some crimes must be reported by witnesses or victims, but whenever possible, designated authorities should protect the commons proactively, without waiting for complaints. Relying on complaints is unethical and ineffective. If Susan reports the problem to the house manager and he doesn’t want to act, he will marginalize Susan—“complainer,” “troublemaker,” NIMBY. This is a standard bureaucratic response, especially in Berkeley. But the rest of us should thank the Susans and the much-maligned NIMBYs and “complainers” among us, because in the absence of municipal stewardship, they are the only ones protecting the commons.
Our laws are the rules of the urban commons, and it is the job of the city staff (not Susan) to enforce them. Every time the city fails to enforce, it diminishes Berkeley’s commons. Recently, neighborhood groups had to sue a drug house (in south Berkeley) and a rooming house (in Willard), because the city allowed these house residents to destroy the neighborhood commons. In economic terms, allowing private user groups to steal neighborhood security and civility—its livability—is another form of privatization. In social terms, it’s slummification.
Honey, I Shrunk the Commons!
When people acquire new rights, it expands the commons. Every right requires and produces a corresponding system, or space, in which everyone can exercise that right. That system (which includes philosophical, legal, and physical components) becomes part of a people’s shared cultural resource—their commons. And once a group has enjoyed a new space for a while, they are loathe to give it up.
In 1973, the Landmarks Preservation Ordinance (LPO) gave the public two new rights: (1) the right (through our representatives) to save individual, privately owned historic resources based on certain values; and more profoundly, (2) the right to decide those values for ourselves—to define our own identity and historical commons. This right is supported by public initiation of, and participation in, the landmarking process, which contributes to the community’s cultural self-discovery.
Last year, the mayor and some developers attempted to create a loophole in the LPO, through which developers could more easily remove historic buildings from the commons. More insidiously, private consultants hired by developers would do more of our historical evaluations, thus encouraging the privatization of how Berkeleyans define our history. But the developers’ “definition” of us almost always reflects their commons-reducing agenda. Outraged supporters of the cultural commons temporarily blocked the mayor’s loophole through referendum.
Outrage was also the response the year before when the mayor and City Council secretly capitulated to the university’s long-range development plan. The university is by far the greatest commons abuser in Berkeley, with parking, traffic, noise, litter, and indirect crime impacts, and freeloading on city infrastructure. But instead of taking this rare opportunity to reclaim some of its commons, the council gratuitously gave the university a free pass to massively increase its encroachment, betraying the municipal commons (and taxpayers) utterly.
Progressivism normally advocates expanding the commons, not privatizing them. A truly progressive vision, which created the Neighborhood Preservation Ordinance and the LPO, is grounded in community and mutual respect. This is well suited to interconnected life in a small, dense city, and anticipates the urban needs of the 21st century.
But our political “leaders” are elsewhere. The mayor undermines the LPO and negotiates development deals behind closed doors. The council cedes our town to the university. The Zoning Adjustments Board gives away use permits like candy. The city staff fails to protect our livability. These represent an incremental but massive giveaway of the commons. If this is “Progressive,” the party has definitely pooped.
Neighborhood activists understand that any civilized urban future must be one with more in common. I urge City Hall to stop wagging the tail of the 20th century. Instead, please help us prepare for a livable future by honoring our commons. | 2019-04-23T18:31:51 | http://www.berkeleydailyplanet.com/issue/2007-05-29/article/27160?headline=Commentary-Common-Sense-in-Berkeley---By-Sharon-Hudson |

Tens of thousands of people have been tortured and thousands have died in custody in Syria’s prisons since March 2011, the start of the crisis that has forced so many to flee.
Anyone suspected of opposing the government is at risk. Labourers, business people, students, bloggers, university professors, lawyers, doctors and journalists. People helping their neighbours. Activists standing up for minority groups. Men, women and even children.
Prisoners speak of an endless cycle of beatings. On the journey after arrest. In transit between detention centres. As part of a ‘welcome party’ of abuse on arrival at a prison, used to frighten new arrivals into submission. And then every day for every conceivable minor ‘breaking’ of rules, including talking or not cleaning their cells.
Many of the people we spoke to said they had been beaten with plastic hose pipes, silicone bars and wooden sticks. Some had been scalded with hot water and burnt with cigarettes. Others were forced to stand in water and given electric shocks.
People suffer acute mental health problems due to overcrowding and lack of sunlight. In some cases, people told us there could be more than 50 people in a cell as small as 3m by 3m. They sleep in shifts, and have a tiny space of floor where they can sit and eat.
People die from starvation. From a lack of air in their cells. And from completely treatable diseases. Cuts, ingrown fingernails and rashes become infected, and people die from a desperate lack of medical care.
In most cases, the Syrian government denies the security forces have even arrested these people. Or they refuse to give any information about their whereabouts. It means that many detainees are “disappeared” – outside the protection of the law – making them especially vulnerable to abuse.
This is just part of the reality of life in Syria. And it’s part of the reason why so many people are fleeing for neighbouring countries and beyond. More than 11 million Syrians have fled their country since the start of the crisis.
As the world attempts to resolve the ongoing conflict, the treatment of people in detention must be a priority if Syrians are to have any trust in a lasting peace. Russia has considerable influence over negotiations, in part because of its military involvement in the region. It must ensure that independent monitors are allowed in to fully investigate conditions in these brutal detention centres.
The Syrian government must let in independent monitors to investigate Syria’s brutal detention centres, now.
Since 2011, thousands of people have died in custody in Syria’s torture prisons. Tens of thousands more have experienced shocking torture. People have been brutally beaten, raped, given electric shocks and more, often to extract forced “confessions”. Anyone suspected of opposing the Syrian government is at risk. Conditions in these brutal detention centres are sub-human. People are dying from starvation. They’re not getting even the most basic health care, and are dying from infected cuts and ingrown fingernails. They suffer acute mental health problems because of the overcrowding and lack of sunlight.
Send the message below and tell Russia and the U.S. to use their global influence to ensure that independent monitors are allowed in to investigate conditions in Syria’s torture prisons.
I am writing about the ongoing reports by human rights monitoring groups, in particular Amnesty International, that document the widespread use of torture and other ill-treatment and lethal conditions in Syrian detention facilities.
Since the beginning of the crisis in 2011 the Syrian authorities have subjected tens of thousands of people in Syria to arbitrary detention or enforced disappearance. Many of them have been subjected to torture or other ill-treatment in Syria’s detention centres and thousands are reported to have died in custody as a result.
These practices clearly violate international law as well as the provisions of UN Security Council resolution 2139 and in many cases constitute war crimes. Insofar as they are carried out as part of a widespread, as well as systematic attack directed against the civilian population, they also amount to crimes against humanity.
I therefore call on you to use your influence in the International Syria Support Group to urgently ensure that independent detention monitors are allowed to investigate conditions in all detention facilities run by the Syrian government or its security forces. They must also be allowed to speak freely to all people who have been deprived of their liberty.
I urge you also to use your influence to ensure that the Syrian authorities provide detailed information on all those who are held in their custody, and inform the families of those detained about their legal status and whereabouts.
Since 2011, thousands of people have died in custody in Syria’s prisons. Tens of thousands more have experienced shocking torture. Amnesty International spoke to survivors to document the brutal conditions.
يجب على الحكومة السورية أن تسمح لمراقبين مستقلين بالتحقيق الآن في الفظاعات التي تشهدها مراكز الاعتقال.
منذ عام 2011، لقي آلاف من المعتقلين حتفهم في السجون السورية بسبب التعذيب، كما عانى عشرات الآلاف تعذيباً مروعاً. لقد تعرض المحتجزون إلى ضرب مبرح، واغتصاب، وصدمات كهربائية، والكثير من أنواع التعذيب؛ بهدف انتزاع "اعترافات" قسرية منهم. فكل شخص يُشتبه في أنه معارض للحكومة السورية، يكون عرضة للخطر.
الأوضاع الوحشية السائدة في مراكز الاحتجاز تفتقر إلى أبسط الشروط الإنسانية اللائقة. فالمحتجزون يتعرضون للموت بسبب الجوع، ولا يحصلون على الخدمات الصحية الأساسية. كما يموتون بسبب الالتهابات الناجمة عن الجراح التي يُصابون بها، وبسبب الأظافر الطويلة التي تنمو في أصابعهم. إنهم يعانون مشكلات صحية عقلية حادة بسبب الاكتظاظ ونقص التعرض لأشعة الشمس.
ابعثوا برسالة إلكترونية تحثوا فيها روسيا والولايات المتحدة على استخدام نفوذهما في العالم، وضمان السماح لمراقبين مستقلين بالتحقيق في طبيعة الأوضاع السائدة في السجون السورية، والتي يتعرض فيها المعتقلون إلى التعذيب.
أكتب إليكم استجابة للتقارير المتواترة التي تصدرها المنظمات المعنية بحقوق الإنسان بشأن أوضاع السجون والمعتقلات في سوريا، ولاسيما منظمة العفو الدولية، والتي تُوَّثق استخدام التعذيب على نطاق واسع وأنواع أخرى من سوء المعاملة والأوضاع السيئة التي تقود إلى موت المعتقلين.
منذ بدء الأزمة في عام 2011، تعرض عشرات الآلاف من السوريين إلى الاعتقال التعسفي والاختفاء القسري على يد السلطات. وذكرت التقارير بأن آلافاً من المعتقلين ماتوا خلال الاحتجاز نتيجة لذلك.
هذه الممارسات تنتهك بكل وضوح القانون الدولي، وبنود قرار مجلس الأمن التابع للأمم المتحدة رقم 2139. وفي عدة حالات، تشكل جرائم حرب. وترقى هذه الممارسات أيضاً إلى جرائم ضد الإنسانية بسبب اتساع نطاقها، واعتدائها الممنهج على السكان المدنيين.
ولهذا السبب، أدعوكم لاستخدام نفوذكم في المجموعة الدولية لدعم سوريا من أجل السماح لمراقبين مستقلين، بشكل عاجل، بالتحقيق في الأوضاع السائدة في مراكز الاعتقال التي تديرها الحكومة السورية أو أجهزتها الأمنية. ويجب أيضا أن يسمح لهم بالاتصال، بدون قيد أو شرط، بالمعتقلين الذين حُرموا من حرياتهم.
أحثكم أيضاً على استخدام نفوذكم لضمان تقديم السلطات السورية معلومات مفصلة بشأن جميع المعتقلين لديها، وإخبار عائلاتهم بخصوص أوضاعهم القانونية وأماكن احتجازهم. | 2019-04-25T14:27:02 | https://saydnaya.amnesty.org/en/detention-in-syria.html |

Gigi has started on the sleeves of her Odelia cardigan. She is working on the braid of the Kleio by Romi Hill, which is reminiscent of the technique that the Philosopher's Wool people taught us.
Also working on the Sothia shawl, which has slowed down. Her swatch for her Rocky Coast Cardigan has benefited from a soak and dry and tumble in the dryer. Also swatched for: The Shawl Collared Cowl, and a shawl out of Lana Grossa Luxe.
Jasmin has been working on the Garter Stitch Baby Kimono. She is working on socks in Little Red Bicycle's Walk of Shame.
We went to the Interweave Knitting Lab in San Mateo, and talked to Annelena who sent a cardigan for Sharkbean, Galina and George from Skaska.com, Carrie from Alpenglow Yarn, and Carrie from Irishgirlie Knits, and the amazing Lily Chin. Jasmin fell in love with the Jaimie Cross Cable Shawl out of quiviut.
We are planning to attend Stitches West 2/23-2/26. Premie hat donation stations will be at the booths of some of our friends. Locations to be announced.
Do Some Good contest. Do something good, in your immediate community, or go global, and anything in between. Post entries in our ravelry group "Do Some Good" tread.
It never hurts to ask. Hansen Crafts does not have minispinners for rent.
Knitting garter stitch is too hard for Gigi, she made mistakes on her Katriel.
Jasmin had issues finishing the Baby Logan sweater, while watching the grosgrain ribbon tutorial. She is not satisfied with the result she got.
This week, we review Vogue Knitting Stitchionary 6 : Edgings.
Gigi has finished joining the quilt top for Sharkbean. It still needs borders. Jasmin has a play date to go and sew pj pants.
Gigi loves spinning on the Julia wheel. Her merino yarn is spinning up smoothly. Jasmin is almost done with spinning the yarn for Andrew's sweater, and is planning to get it knit in the 54 days left in this year. She is borrowing a minispinner from one of our listeners. Jasmin got a new pillow to sit on while she spins. | 2019-04-24T20:21:22 | http://knitmoregirls.libsyn.com/brain-trust-episode-168-the-knitmore-girls |

SEO can be scary at times.
Unless, of course, you’re an SEO Pro like Ashley.
Sure, WordPress is designed to be SEO-friendly, but there are still plenty of technical tasks to perform if you want to keep your site in Google’s good books.
Imagine if you had an SEO assistant to offer a few hints and tips. Someone to give you a gentle nudge now and then or a pointer in the right direction?
Unfortunately, I’m not aware of any friendly SEO-bots, but I do know of a plugin that might help.
So if you’d like some assistance optimizing your content, managing your links and making your site more search-friendly, then you’re in the right place.
In this post, we’re going to take a look at SEOPressor; the next best thing to a personal SEO assistant.
SEOPressor is a premium WordPress plugin that gives you complete control of your WordPress SEO.
Since SEOPressor launched back in 2010, it has developed into one of the most popular SEO plugins for WordPress. Today, it powers more than 217K unique domains and 23 million WordPress pages worldwide.
We’ll circle back on these as we step through some of the features of the plugin.
Most of these options refer to sitewide Technical SEO settings that you’ll need to configure first.
Later on we’ll look at some specific content optimization, but first, let’s get the plugin setup.
Disclaimer: the SEO scores on some of the following screenshots look shocking. That’s because we installed SEOPressor on a brand new WordPress site without any content or pre-configuration for the purpose of this review.
At the top the dashboard there’s an average health score and news feed. Underneath are the eight options we saw previously in the side menu.
The Site Audit contains a couple of panels.
Score – the average SEO score of all the content on your website.
Health – the average SEO health of your website.
Underneath the scorecard, you can see the top 3 errors and alerts, with options to view more or fix individual items.
You can improve your average SEO Score and Health by addressing each of the errors and alerts.
The Sitewide SEO settings cover three areas that affect the whole of your WordPress site.
Here’s where you can create your XML sitemap so that the Google robots can understand the structure of your website.
Pro Tip: Read more about No-Follow Links for SEO in this post.
Your homepage is arguably the most important page of your website. But it’s not so easy to optimize it for Google & Co.
SEOPressor lets you configure the homepage like you would for your blog posts.
Use this panel to set your Page Title, Page Description, Canonical URL, 301 Redirect URL, and Robot Rules.
Title Tag – defines the title of your page and displays on the search engine’s results page.
Meta Description – describes your content and is also displayed in the search results.
Canonical URL – prevents duplicate content issues by specifying the preferred URL of a web page.
301 Redirect URL – redirects your visitors to another URL when they land on a particular page.
Robot Rules – directs Google’s website crawlers how to crawl and index your site. You can read more about Robot Rules here.
By assigning your site’s title, image, and description in SEOPressor’s Open Graph settings, you can control your website link appearance on Facebook.
As per Facebook, these settings make sure your website link displays the correct information and an image on Twitter.
The On-Page Analysis functionality in SEOPressor analyzes your posts and pages, and suggests improvements on how to improve your SEO score.
When you create a new post in WordPress, SEOPressor is ready and waiting for your input.
At the top, you have tabs for Score, Meta, Social, and Schema.
In this example, I’ll show you how the score goes from zero to hero as you complete the fields.
I’ve used a previous post from Mad Lemmings – ActiveCampaign vs MailChimp – and saved the post as a draft.
SQ Density: 2.30% – tells you if your content is semantically related to your keywords.
But there’s room for improvement, as you would expect after a first draft.
These are suggestions based on SEOPressor’s evaluation algorithm built from analyzing millions of web pages.
Some tips are obvious; e.g. Add keyword(s) in your meta description.
But others try to prevent you from over-optimizing your content; e.g. Reduce the usage of keywords in anchored link. Using too many keywords in anchored link may be treated as unnatural optimization.
You can address each of these suggestions to optimize your content and then recalculate your SEO Score.
Some of these LSI keyword suggestions aren’t appropriate.
For example, you wouldn’t use activecampaign vs convertkit in a comparison of activecampaign vs mailchimp.
It wouldn’t make sense unless you were linking to another post you’d written.
So, remember these are suggestions. You still need to engage your brain!
You can choose whether to use one, both, or neither of these on your content.
The schema markup options add rich snippets to help your content stand out in the search engine results.
You could buy a separate plugin for schema markup, but SEOPressor includes it already.
How much would you pay for a virtual assistant to keep tabs on your Technical and On-Page SEO? I’m sure it would cost more than $9 per month.
Yes, that’s right. SEOPressor is available via a single subscription plan of $9 per month.
You can use it on multiple domains, and it includes lifetime updates and support.
If you’ve always used other SEO plugins like Yoast or All-In-One SEO, then perhaps you should consider trying SEOPressor.
You can use it alongside them or import your current settings from them. SEOPressor is compatible with ‘almost’ all other SEO plugins.
There’s no doubt that SEOPressor is a powerful SEO plugin for WordPress.
The user interface is easy-to-navigate with everything laid out in a logical way. The settings panels are clearly labeled, and there are additional tooltips to explain particular fields.
And if you’re still unsure about a topic then you can dip into their online tutorials and support.
The On-Page optimization suggestions are also terrific and will help you produce top-ranking content.
Overall, SEOPressor provides a superb mix of features to help you improve and manage your SEO.

i’m working with an employer who’ll offer only high-deductible health plans in 2013. they’ve been offering this type of plan with a health reimbursement account for the past few years, so they know that educating employees about the plan design is important. without it, employees are often surprised when they get their first medical bill. worse yet, they sometimes postpone getting care. that’s why my client’s amping up the education, starting with this year’s fall annual enrollment.
we’ve crafted a plan that involves newsletter articles, blog posts and other social media, and even two call-in radio shows. we’ve also agreed upon a high-deductible health plan educational game context developed that’s interactive, user-led and relies on scenarios.
each scenario runs roughly two minutes and provides an option to view a complete financial explanation, for those who want or need the fine print.
the game can be self-guided or used as a training tool. this client plans to host it on their benefits website so employees can work through the scenarios with their family. we’re also sharing the game with local HR representatives, who can guide a group discussion during annual enrollment employee meetings. a discussion guide is available to help HR run these meetings.
the advantage this game approach has over other print and media ones is that it puts employees smack in the middle of the action. they’re not passively flipping pages or strolling through comparison charts. they’re also not merely crunching numbers. they’re making decisions, just as they will in real life.
making sure employees understand their benefits has always been critical. when you’re talking about high-deductible health plans the stakes are even higher, because employees are often drawn to the lower deductibles these plans offer and fail to prepare for their initial higher outlay. employers who want to contain costs and create health care consumers need to make their own higher initial outlay in the form of communication, training and tools. this game is one approach.
if you’re interested in learning more about this HDHP game for your employees, email or call 215.922.2525.

Strong electron interactions can drive metallic systems toward a variety of well-known symmetry-broken phases, but the instabilities of correlated metals with strong spin-orbit coupling have only recently begun to be explored. We uncovered a multipolar nematic phase of matter in the metallic pyrochlore Cd2Re2O7 using spatially resolved second-harmonic optical anisotropy measurements. Like previously discovered electronic nematic phases, this multipolar phase spontaneously breaks rotational symmetry while preserving translational invariance. However, it has the distinguishing property of being odd under spatial inversion, which is allowed only in the presence of spin-orbit coupling. By examining the critical behavior of the multipolar nematic order parameter, we show that it drives the thermal phase transition near 200 kelvin in Cd2Re2O7 and induces a parity-breaking lattice distortion as a secondary order.
In the presence of strong Coulomb interactions, the fluid of mobile electrons in a metal can spontaneously break the point group symmetries of the underlying crystal lattice, realizing the quantum analog of a nematic liquid crystal (1). Like their classical counterparts, quantum nematic phases generally preserve spatial inversion symmetry and are therefore anisotropic but centrosymmetric fluids. Experimental evidence of such nematic order was first detected in a two-dimensional (2D) GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well interface on the basis of a pronounced resistivity anisotropy between the two principal directions of the underlying square lattice (2, 3). Subsequently, similar behavior has been reported in a number of quasi-2D square lattice compounds, including Sr3Ru2O7 (4), URu2Si2 (5), and several families of both copper- (6, 7) and iron-based (8–11) high-temperature superconductors, suggesting possible connections between even-parity nematic fluctuations and unconventional s- and d-wave Cooper pairing (12).
Extending earlier work on Fermi liquid instabilities in the p-wave spin interaction channel (13), it has recently been predicted that correlated metals with strong spin-orbit coupling may realize a fundamentally new class of electronic nematic phases with spontaneously broken spatial inversion symmetry (14), including a quantum analog of the unusual NT nematic phase discussed in the context of classical bent-core liquid crystals (15). Theoretical models have shown that parity-breaking nematic fluctuations can induce odd-parity p- or f-wave Cooper pairing and thus provide a route to topological superconductivity (16, 17). In addition, because inversion symmetry-breaking necessarily lifts the spin degeneracy of bulk energy bands in a spin-orbit coupled system, odd-parity nematic order offers a potential mechanism for generating topologically protected Weyl and nodal-line semimetals and for designing highly tunable charge-to-spin current conversion technologies for spintronics applications.
, where σi are the Pauli matrices and kj is the crystal momentum (14, 18). In a cubic material, for example, this order parameter can have either Eu or T2u symmetry. An example of a spin-polarized Fermi surface distortion induced by T2u multipolar nematic order is shown in Fig. 1A.

axis (Fig. 1, B and C). This phase transition has traditionally been attributed to the freezing of a soft phonon mode with Eu symmetry, dominated by the displacement of O(1) atoms (19, 24, 25). However, the observation of extremely small changes in lattice parameters (21, 22), an anomalous temperature dependence of superlattice Bragg peaks (20), and a dramatic reduction in the electronic density of states across Tc (26–29) calls this interpretation into question and raises the possibility that a hitherto undetected electronic order is driving the transition.
onto a circular locus of points on a stationary 2D detector (Fig. 2A), the experiment can be carried out at very high rotational frequencies (~4 Hz), which greatly enhances the sensitivity to small changes in symmetry by averaging over laser fluctuations.

tensor element. The resulting RA-SHG intensity pattern, which is proportional to the squared magnitude of the nonlinear polarization, exactly reproduces the high-temperature data and reaffirms its surface origin.

Raw RA-SHG images acquired with a Sin‒Pout polarization geometry (left column) at temperatures of (A) 204.5 K, (B) 199.7 K, and (C) 196.6 K. Concentric white circles show the radial integration region used to generate the RA patterns (middle column). Numbers on the outer boundaries of the polar plots indicate the intensity scale in units where χS = 1. The RA patterns are fit to the squared magnitude of a sum of surface, bulk Eu, and bulk T2u polarization terms, as described in the text. Fits are overlaid on the RA patterns (black curves), and each component is illustrated in the right column, where solid petals denote a positive sign and white petals denote a negative sign for the polarization.
. This is incompatible with the data and suggests that an additional inversion-symmetry–breaking order parameter emerges together with the Eu structural order parameter below Tc.
form takes place (Fig. 3C), obscuring the T2u order parameter. The relative faintness of the T2u signal is consistent with a nematic instability that predominantly affects states only near the Fermi level and naturally explains the absence of any detectable T2u distortion by structure-sensitive probes (19–22).
, which is proportional to the T2u order parameter, was extracted from such fits (Fig. 4A). An onset temperature of Tc ≈ 201 K and a critical exponent of β ≈ 1/2 are obtained from a least-squares fit to the scaling law, which is consistent with the mean-field prediction for a primary order parameter. At temperatures below ~198 K, the T2u response is overwhelmed by the Eu response (Fig. 3C) and can no longer be reliably extracted from the data.
Fig. 4 Critical exponents of the T2u and Eu order parameters.
. Specified uncertainties in the fit parameters are 1 SD. The critical exponent of the T2u order parameter is consistent with the mean-field prediction β = 1/2, and the critical exponent of the Eu order parameter is consistent with a linear temperature dependence (β = 1). The inset in (B) shows that the linearity of the Eu secondary structural order persists over a wide temperature range below Tc.
, which exactly reproduces our experimental results. By performing a general symmetry-based analysis of the Landau expansion [section S8 of (36)], it is possible to constrain the irreducible representations of Ψu and Ψg to T2u and T1g, respectively. This serves as a strong self-consistency check of our RA-SHG data analysis. The T1g order parameter uncovered by this analysis preserves inversion symmetry and is therefore not detectable with SHG. It is possible that interactions among electrons in Re t2g levels may realize a correlated spin-triplet state with T1g symmetry [section S8 of (36)], and nuclear quadrupole resonance measurements have in fact detected a moderate ferromagnetic enhancement below Tc (37). Further study, however, is required to firmly establish a microscopic origin of the T1g order.
Our data and analysis reveals the existence of a T2u electronic order in Cd2Re2O7 that drives the 200 K phase transition and induces the Eu lattice distortion as a secondary order parameter. The assignment of the T2u order to a multipolar nematic phase is supported by previous experiments that show only weak Eu structural distortions (20–22) accompanied by large electronic anomalies across Tc (26–29), the absence of any charge or magnetic order below Tc (37), and full agreement with theoretical prediction (14). More generally, our results establish a distinct class of odd-parity multipolar electronic nematic phases in spin-orbit–coupled correlated metals and demonstrates an experimental strategy for uncovering further realizations of such order. Carefully examining the competing phases in the vicinity of odd-parity nematic order, including the superconducting phase below ~1 K in Cd2Re2O7 (38–40), may prove fruitful for uncovering other unconventional phases of matter.

Citation: LONG BO (2005-09-19). Development of an elastic path controller for collaborative robot. ScholarBank@NUS Repository.
Abstract: Cobots are potentially well-suited to safety-critical tasks such as computer assisted surgery or to tasks where conventional robots would be too dangerous for direct contact with a person, such as automobile assembly. To realize the more effective collaboration between the user and the Cobots, an elastic path controller was designed and analyzed in this thesis. Compared to the original idea of Cobots which only supplies the a??guiding patha??, the elastic path controller not only supplies such a??guidinga?? path also let the user have the privilege to modify this guiding path dynamically. This path controller integrates the functions of path following and obstacle avoidance. The system can complete the obstacle avoidance task easily even without the obstacle detectors as long as the user has vision ability and can operate the access method. The simulation on the elastic path controller was done in the simulation environment written in MATLAB. And it also had been tested on the Cobot platform a??scootera?? which is developed in LIMS, Northwestern University. | 2019-04-23T16:07:51 | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/14896 |

ETC has expanded its operations, officially opening a new office in Tweed Heads yesterday.
ETC CEO Jenny Barnett said ETC was excited to be offering employment services in the Tweed.
“ETC has been helping businesses in NSW grow for the past 26 years and we ourselves are excited to be expanding our services in the North Coast and Gold Coast, through the delivery of the Australian Government’s jobactive program,” Mrs Barnett said.
ETC’s General Manager Training and Business Services Karen Busby said ETC was ramping up its delivery of training programs in the Tweed to benefit the local community.
A Smoking Ceremony, traditional Aboriginal dancing and a Welcome to Country was performed by Luther Cora and the Yugambeh Aboriginal Dancers as part of ETC’s Tweed Heads office opening.
Ms Hawkins invited local businesses to drop into ETC’s new premises at Suite 8A, 24-28 Corporation Circuit, Tweed Heads South, to meet the ETC team.
“We are here to help people get jobs, provide exceptional service to local employers, train people to further their careers and build strong connections with local communities,” Ms Hawkins said.
For further information contact ETC in Tweed Heads South on 1800 007 400 or visit etcltd.com.au. | 2019-04-26T11:43:02 | https://etcltd.com.au/etc-opens-new-office-in-tweed-heads-in-a-bid-to-reduce-high-unemployment/ |
Many of us take the shoulders of the jacket for granted. It’s really important in the overall cut of the suit. It’s the starting point for almost everything else that happens lower down, in terms of the fit. The most important point here is that the shoulders should look natural. Down the road of history, there were eras in which the suit shoulder was excessively wide (1980’s) and there are also factions of the industry who prefer different things, such as the Italians, who prefer to have more of a soft finish on the shoulder, as opposed to the more rigid British shoulder.
As I measure and assess clients, I’m looking for a multitude of things here. Firstly, I’m looking at whether the shoulders are normal in shape, or whether they’re more squared or sloping. Next, I’m looking to determine whether your natural stance incorporates a forward point on your shoulder. If so, how severe? Finally, I’m looking at the balance from right to left. Are you even? Or does one side fall lower than the other.
On the more muscular body types, I’m looking at where your deltoid muscles are in relation to your shoulder points. If you’re really prominent here, I’m rethinking the position of the shoulder points. Cutting too wide can make your head appear small, while cutting too narrow can make your head appear quite large.
There’s a lot to consider here. To make it as perfect as possible, we’re discussing a soft finish vs a rigid finish, squared or sloping vs normal shape, forward points vs normal points, drop shoulders vs even shoulders and the placement of your deltoids vs your shoulder ends. The only choice you really make here is whether we have a rope sleeve head (which will stand proud on your shoulder line) or a soft crown, which will provide an elegant line from the shoulder to the sleeve. | 2019-04-22T10:39:19 | https://www.roseberrytailoring.com/2016/10/06/jacket-shoulders/ |
In the Horizon 2020 project MODER W/E consultants works together with companies like SWECO, SIEMENS and Ertex Solar and with research institutes like VTT and Fraunhofer IBP to develop and test software tools that will support building refurbishment projects at district level.
W/E is for example developing the tool for zero carbon road maps that is being used by social housing associations and municipalities to develop long-term plans for sustainable improvement of their building portfolio until 2050. “CO2 convergence” by means of energy savings on the one hand and renewable energy production on the other hand, is a central concept within this tool.
Figure: The CO2 convergence towards the zero-carbon target for a certain building stock, with yearly CO2 emissions from the buildings on the Y-axis and time (years) on the X axis. The red and green line show respectively the emissions resulting from the reduced energy demand (red line) over time and the avoided CO2 emissions by renewable energy production (green line). The zero-carbon target is met when the red and green line meet each other. Grey bars depict the net remaining CO2 emission over time.
Visual display of building improvements on geographic maps will further enhance the usability of this decision support tool.
Together with other partners test cases and model validation will be executed to show the practical usability and the realistic outcome of the models.
Next to this R&D activity, business cases will be developed by each partner for the employment of the road mapping tools for specific customer segments, such as social housing associations, real estate companies, municipalities and tenant organisations.

University of Ulster composer and music researcher Dr Frank Lyons will premiere two of his most recent works this week.
The first piece entitled Crosstalk – an original composition by Dr Lyons, who is based in the School of Creative Arts at Magee – will be performed by New York based guitarist Simon Jermyn and the internationally renowned Smith Quartet at the Sligo Music Festival this weekend.
A second composition by Dr Lyons, who is also Director of the Arts and Humanities Research Institute at Ulster, will be performed as part of the Lunchtime Concert Series at Magee on Thursday 20 April in the Great Hall.
Stung – written for bass clarinet and live electronics – will be performed by Paul Roe, former Associate Principal Clarinet of the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland.
This double composition success follows a global exhibition of a 3-D audio visual installation entitled Simultaneous Echoes created by Dr Lyons in collaboration with acclaimed media artist Masaki Fujihata.
Simultaneous Echoes was exhibited in Ireland, Germany and Japan and scooped a prestigious New Media Prize from the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs in March 2010.
Dr Lyons also composed an arrangement of classic tracks by legendary British rock band Queen, which was performed by the Ulster Orchestra, tribute band Flash Harry and the University of Ulster Choir, to an audience of over 7,000 people at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast earlier this year.
“It has been an intense but enjoyable time collaborating with so many incredible artists over the past few months to create these new works,” said Dr Lyons.

The Demise of the Headphone Jack Continues | GC Aero Flexible Circuitry, Inc.
On Wednesday, October 5th, Google went toe-to-toe with Apple yet again, announcing new versions of its Pixel phones to compete directly with the iPhone. While the two powerhouse companies seem dedicated to competing for the title of top technology dog, there is something they both seem to agree on. Like the latest versions of the iPhone, the newest Pixel phones have done away with the headphone jack.
Unsurprisingly, Google offers what it considers a better option in the form of wireless Pixel Buds. The Pixel Buds certainly seem cool, and it is admittedly more convenient not to be tethered to a phone, but will customers like the notion of being forced to pay $159 for an accessory? The price might be worth it if one of Google’s noteworthy promises can be fulfilled. The company claims that the wireless earbuds can perform real-time language translation. That should be music to the ears of any world traveler!
If you have a great idea of the next big tech product and need a reliable and experienced flexible circuitry company, contact GC Aero. | 2019-04-23T14:49:24 | https://gcaflex.com/the-demise-of-the-headphone-jack-continues/ |

When you are looking for the best roller derby skates or quad speed skates, you will have to think about several factors before you commit to one type of another.
Not only will you need to think about how you will be using the skates, but you should also consider what you need to get out of them.
From the surface you are skating on, to the amount of wear and tear that you will be putting on them, the perfect roller derby skates are out there just waiting for you to slip your feet into them.
Not every roller derby skate is going to have exactly what you need. In order to be both safe and effective in the rink, you will need to take several factors into consideration, including the wheels, the plates, and the bearings. Having the best roller derby skates will help you improve way faster!
When looking at the wheels on a derby skate, you will need to think about the size, the hardness, and your weight.
Size: The size of your wheels depends on your personal preference, choosing between a diameter of 59 and 62 mm. Another size consideration is the width of the wheel, which can be standard or slim. Standard wheels are 38 mm wide and the most popular. Slim wheels are more agile.
Hardness: Skate manufacturers use a durometer scale to rate the hardness of a wheel. The bigger the number, the harder the wheel. On a slippery indoor floor, you will need a softer wheel that can help you grip the floor better. The hardness rating you will be looking for is between an 88 and a 92A. On a grippy floor, you will need wheels that are between a 93 and a 99A. Most commonly, skaters opt for between a 93 and a 95A in sports arenas because they are a great all-around choice.
If you are an outdoor skater, you will also want a softer wheel to grip the outdoor terrain. They do make wheels that work on both, which is more of a 92 rating.
Weight: Your weight also is a major factor when looking at wheels. If you are a lighter person, you will want a softer wheel, whereas a heavier person would need a harder wheel.
Indoor Wheels: Indoor skaters will need exclusive indoor wheels which are grippy for better control and are more affordable.
Outdoor Wheels: Rough outdoor terrain will require top quality outdoor wheels which are faster and can handle the rough terrain better. Keep in mind that skate parks will need harder wheels than distance skating activities.
Hybrid Wheels: Hybrid wheels can be used for both indoors and outdoors, making them a versatile option for any surface. They are a great set to begin with while you decide which exclusive indoor/ outdoor sets you want. They are a little more on the grippy side and are slow while used indoors, and are slower when compared to outdoor wheels.
The three primary types of roller skate plates to choose from are aluminum, fiberglass, and nylon.
Aluminum: Aluminum plates are more durable, which is optimal for the contact element of the sport. Aluminum plates are also more responsive, following your movements in the rink. Aluminum can endure more weight and will last longer than other materials.
Fiberglass: Fiberglass is lightweight, a little more affordable than aluminum and has more rigidity than nylon does. It is a great beginner choice for skaters who want a little more strength in their plates. Fiberglass is adequate for skaters who weigh less than 300 pounds.
Nylon: Nylon plates are lightweight and inexpensive. They work as a great beginner plate and work for lighter skaters, but they do offer lower performance abilities. Skaters who weigh over 200 pounds should avoid using nylon.
The bearings on your roller derby skates are what allow you to turn the axle of your wheels. While they are small, they are incredibly important for protection and control. Each wheel has two bearings, meaning you will need eight for each skate. Most skates use 8 mm bearings, but some use 7 mm, so pay attention to your specific skate. Otherwise, you need to look at the tolerance of the bearing using the ABEC scale. Also, if you want to get the best quad speed skates, make sure that they have ABEC 7 or ABEC 9 bearings.
ABEC 1: These are the least expensive bearings and least precise for turning, but are still durable.
ABEC 3: This is a great bearing for beginners or budget skates. They do not work well for speed.
ABEC 5: Better for intermediate skaters, these are usually higher quality.
ABEC 7 & 9: ABEC 9 is the highest rating that you can get, but even the ABEC 7s are great quality, offering you a lot of wheel spin and turning. They are also the most expensive bearings you can buy.
The Editor’s Choice for the best roller derby skates you can get are the Riedell R3s. These are versatile skates that are built with safety in mind. They have a snug, low fit around the ankle in order to keep your foot in the boot when skating.
The R3s wheels come with a hardness rating of 93A, which is exactly what you would need to be able to skate both indoors as well as outdoors. They also come with ABEC 5 bearings, which are a nice middle of the road bearing. Ultimately, they are a good choice whether you skate competitively or are skating more casually. They do have nylon plates so they are not a good choice for heavier skaters.
These skates are a great choice for beginners and intermediate skaters, giving you enough speed to learn more manoeuvres, but not so much that you hurt yourself.
If you are looking for a higher performance skate, the Riedell Darts are some of the best roller derby skates that you can get. These are made from a vinyl material that is both durable and breathable.
The Darts are made with an aluminum plate, offering you better strength on the rink. Regardless, these skates will work whether you skate competitively or just casually. The 93 A hardness rating means they are soft enough to work on both indoor rinks as well as outdoor. The ABEC 5 bearings that come with them are more of the middle of the road, so you might want to upgrade them if you skate competitively.
Aesthetically, these are fun skates to look at. You will get a lot of colours to choose from, letting you really show off your personality on the rink.
For the perfect quad roller derby skates when you are on a budget, the Pacer Mach-5s might be the right ones for you. These are a great set of beginner skates for those who are just starting out. They would also be a nice choice for children or younger skaters who do not need a higher performance competitive skate, especially since the size range on them is broad.
The ABEC rating on the Mach-5s is 1, meaning that they are the lowest rating you can get. They really do not have the quality needed for more advanced skaters who need precision.
The Mach-5 skates also have polymer nylon plates, so they will not work well for heavier skaters, but they are lightweight. The boot of the skate is also lightweight and comfortable, which is important when you are just getting the feel for quad skating. As an added bonus, the skates come in bright and fun colours.
If you are more in the market for speed skates, the best quad speed skates that you can get are the VNLA Mint Jam Skates. These have a higher hardness rating of 95 A, which means they are better suited for indoor skating rather than outdoor. These are made to be competitive, with all of the features that you need to be fast and efficient in the rink.
With their low profile toe stops, the toe stop will be out of the way when you need to move your feet quickly or if you are doing tricks. It does have a nylon plate, but it has aluminum trucks, which will give them more durability.
The comfort level on these is pretty high, requiring little to no break in time before you can wear them completely comfortably. They are specifically made to be wicked fast, with amazing ABEC 9 bearings, giving you the best spin and torque possible.
One of the most fun things about skating is that many brands out there make bright and outrageous colours and designs. The best roller derby skates that come in a range of colours are the Moxi Lolly skates. You can get them in red, yellow, purple, blue, and many other colours as well in a suede material.
The Lolly skates have a comfortable fit and are easy to lace, making them easy to adjust as well. The high quality padded tongue will mean sure that you can get the skates on without a struggle, but still be snug enough to give you the right fit.
The Lollys also show you that you do not need to sacrifice quality for fashion. They come with ABEC 7 steel ball bearings that will minimalize friction and leave you with a fast and smooth ride. Because of how fast they are, amateur skaters will need to make sure that they know how to stop before committing to the Lolly skates.
Riedell is a skate brand known to make great quad skates and the Dart skates are no exception. The Darts are a great beginner pair of roller skates. The ABEC 5 ball bearings are a good middle-of-the-road bearing, making them adequate for beginners and intermediate skaters.
The wheels that come with the skates have a hardness rating of 93 A, making them a versatile pair of skates that can be used either inside or outside. The boot is made out of a softer man-made material that will reduce the amount of time that it takes to break them in.
The Darts are designed for narrower feet so skaters with wide feet will ultimately find these uncomfortable, especially since the material will not have much in the way of stretch. The midi gripper toe stops on the Darts will ensure that you have control over when you would like to stop as well.
For a more traditional boot height, the right choice for you might be the Candi Grl Sabina skates. These skates come in a wide array of colours, letting you choose the perfect ones to suit your personality.
Most speed skates come with a lower boot in order to give you the control that derby skaters are after. These are high boots, which is the traditional roller skate choice. They may not be the best competitive skates for this reason, but are really freestyle skates, which are meant more for recreation and less for competition.
Nonetheless, the Sabinas have a padded lining and reliable ankle support, ensuring that you will not roll your ankle. The faux leather that they are made out of looks nice, but also does not require the break in time that leather does.
The wheels that come with them are specifically made to be both outdoor and indoor skates.
Another pair of the most fashionable roller derby skates is the Candi Girl Carlin skates. These skates are made with pop colour brushed suede with embossing, ensuring that you will have the most eye-catching skates out on the rink. It also has a soft suede lining on the inside.
The tongue is extra padded for the ultimate level of comfort. The suede leather also will be soft around your feet, gradually molding to the point that they will fit your feet like a glove. They do have a high top boot, which means that they are better suited for recreational and freestyle skating rather than competitive skating.
One of the best features of these skates are the aluminum trucks and aluminum chassis, ensuring that these skates will stay with you for a long time. The aluminum is also lightweight and makes for great control for turning, cruising, tricks, and dancing.
If you are looking for a skate specifically designed for men, the Chicago skates might be just what you are looking for. Their classic look is specifically designed after the skates that were popular in rinks for decades.
The Chicago skates are made from manmade materials and are made with a controlled high top. This is for more freestyle and recreational skating and not made for competitive skating. The urethane wheels hold up well against the normal wear and tear from skating.
These are a nice pair of skates for beginning or casual skaters, but more experienced skaters might want to update the wheels, laces, and the bearings as time goes on. They are made to be worn both indoors and outdoors, but the wheels do have a softer rating so they might be best outside. They have been approved for indoor use, but make sure that the floor can accommodate them.
The last pair of roller skates that we are going to take a look at are the Beach Bunny skates by Moxi. These are fun high top skates that are designed for freestyle or dancing rather than roller derby.
The Beach Bunny skates are made with man-made vinyl material as well as a Dri-Lex lining material. They are traditional high top skates, designed to give the smoothest ride possible. They are built with a high, snug fit with extra ankle padding and strong ankle support.
These skates come with ABEC 5 steel ball bearings which are a great middle road, giving you enough torque to turn and dance with ease while not being the highest rating possible, making them cost effective. The bearings will reduce friction and give you a nice, smooth ride. The PowerDyne adjustable black toe stopper is not only designed to be replaceable, but also to have a long life.
The truck angle of your skates is one of the major determining factors in how agile your skates are. The range of truck angles can go from 10 to 45 degrees, which is a huge range.
The lower the truck angle is, the more stable your skates will be, whereas a higher angle means that you will have more agile skates. Newer skaters should look for a lower truck rating until they have mastered their skating skills.
There are cushions on your trucks, which also factor into how agile your quad skates are. Hard cushions are the default that manufacturers go for. They are more stable but they are rigid, making it harder to manoeuvre with them. Luckily, cushions can be changed out for softer ones with better reaction abilities.
Skates come with two cushions per skate. The two types of cushions are cone and barrel. Cone cushions are more agile, but if you would like to have better turning abilities, you will need a barrel cushion in the back as well as a cone in the front.
Toe stops are essential for stopping on your roller derby skates. Most skaters opt for a stop in the front, but some do prefer a back brake or even both.
You can get toe stops with either a long stem or a short stem. The stem on your toe stop will determine how much you can lift up your foot. Long stems are usually matched with large wheels, where short stems are with smaller wheels. You will know that you have the right length if you can fit three fingers between the rear wheel and the ground when you lift the skate up to the toe stop.
Roller derby skates include boots that are shorter on the ankle than the more traditional roller skate. This is because you will get more movement and performance from a lower cut boot. When shopping for a roller derby boot, you will need to look at both sizing and padding.
Getting the size right on your skates is essential for both your comfort and your safety. If your skates are too small, your toes will pinch and you will experience pain. If they are too large, your feet will slip around, leading to rolled ankles or blisters.
When you look around at the different skate options, you will notice that they offer either padding or no padding. Whether you want padding is a personal preference.
With Padding: Padded skates are normally more rigid with the ankle support. The padding makes them more comfortable to put on and wear. The fit is often compared to that of a running shoe.
Without Padding: Traditionally, roller derby skates do not have any padding. Instead they have a softer ankle support. You need to size these tightly since they will stretch as you break them in, which can cause blistering.
Whether you need to break in your new roller derby skates depends on the type of material that they are made out of. Leather skates will need to be bought snug and over time they will stretch out. Leather skates will always have a break-in period. Vinyl skates usually do not stretch out as you wear them and do not have the same break in time.
Roller derby is a contact sport that is normally played on an indoor rink. There are two teams of up to 15 players in the rink during a game and there are usually two 30 minute periods that account for the game.
The goal of the game is to have the “jammer” person on the team have more laps than the “jammer” on the other team. The jammer is the only team member who scores points. The other players will block and protect the jammers, trying to keep your team’s jammer clear while stopping the other jammer.
This is why having both speed and control on your skates is essential in roller derby.
Quad hockey is another type of field or roller hockey, where the players wear skates with two wheels in front and two in back rather than inline skating where the wheels are in a single row.
On quad skates, roller hockey is played in countries all over the world, just like inline hockey.
Ultimately, you need to think about what you really need to get from your roller skates. If you are a roller derby player, the amount of experience and competitiveness that you have and the amount of time you will spend in this sport will be a major factor in the type of skates that you want to get.
A beginning roller derby skater can get by with ABEC 1 bearings and nylon plates, but if you are a jammer, or hope to be one, you will need aluminum plates and an ABEC 5 or ABEC 7 rating to give you the speed and control that you need.
If you are looking for roller derby skates, the best ones that you can get are the Riedell R3 skates. If you are more in the market for fun freestyle skates, you will be better off with Candi or Moxi skates. Think about what you need to do with your skates and you will be able to find the best roller derby skates for you. | 2019-04-23T08:23:33 | https://hockeypursuits.com/skates/best-roller-derby-skates/ |
A new regulation regarding real estate valuation will come into force on 1 June. The decree on Real Estate Valuation Instructions for Commercial Banks was approved by the President of the National Bank of Georgia on 14 May. The project, which was initiated in January 2017, involved commercial banks, representatives from international valuation companies, as well as an independent expert.
According to the NBG, the decree on Real Estate Valuation Instructions for Commercial Banks aims to raise awareness about the real estate valuation process, improve the quality of real estate valuation in the banking sector; increase transparency in the valuation process and principles; define and develop ethical standards for the appraisers; determine the criteria for the appraiser’s qualifications; as well as implement the International Valuation Standards and act within their framework. | 2019-04-21T09:04:22 | http://cbw.ge/real-estate/new-regulation-on-real-estate-valuation/ |
After ODI series ending level at 1-1, Windies Women and South Africa Women will meet in the first of the five Twenty 20 Internationals at Kensington Oval on Monday.
South Africa claimed the series opener, handing 40-run defeat to the hosts. It was a collective effort from Laura Wolfvaardt, Sune Luus and skipper Dane van Niekerk to guide the tourists get past the 200-run mark. Windies Women, chasing 202 to win, never got going and were bowled out for 161.
The hosts bounced back stronger in the third and final ODI, recording a massive 116-run win. Hayley Matthews’ stunning hundred and all-around Deandra Dottin led the charge for West Indies, while Marizane Kapp, skipper Dane van Niekerk and Laura Wolvaardt offered some resistance.
Pitch and conditions: Kensington Oval in Bridgetown has produced high-scoring games in the recent International encounters, including the result in the third ODI.
West Indies Women squad: Stafanie Taylor (c), Kycia Knight, Hayley Matthews, Chedean Nation, Qiana Joseph, Natasha McLean, Merissa Aguilleira (wk), Shemaine Campbelle, Deandra Dottin, Anisa Mohammed, Shakera Selman, Shamilia Connell and Afy Fletcher.
South Africa Women squad: Dane van Niekerk (c), Chloe Tryon, Sune Luus, Mignon du Preez, Marizanne Kapp, Lizelle Lee, Masabata Klaas, Laura Wolvaardt, Raisibe Ntozakhe, Tumi Sekhukhune, Zintle Mali, Robyn Searle, Saarah Smith and Faye Tunnicliffe (wk).
Wicket-keeper: We are going with South Africa’s Lizelle Lee who is a reliable top-order batswoman and better stats to show than her counterpart.
Batswomen: Our first picks for batswomen will be South Africa’s Laura Wolfvaardt and Sune Luus since both of them looked assured with the bat in the ODI series. Shemaine Campbelle is another option you can consider.
All-rounders: All of Stafanie Taylor, Dane Van Niekerk, Deandra Dottin and Hayley Matthews made substantial contributions in the ODI series and can be picked.
Bowlers: Shamilia Connell and Tumi Sekhukhune had decent returns in the ODI series and can be considered ahead of others.
The players who can double your fantasy points are Stafanie Taylor, Dane Van Niekerk, Hayley Matthews and Deandra Dottin. | 2019-04-19T22:50:29 | https://www.indiafantasy.com/cricket/fantasy-cricket/wi-w-vs-sa-w-dream11-prediction-1st-t20-team-news-playing-11/ |
Last Friday's mail brought with it, a wonderful surprise...scanned negatives of some film I had sent off awhile back. Shooting film is a nice contrast to shooting digital in that it forces you to stop, think through the camera settings, carefully compose your image and then, click the shutter. If you're shooting a Holga however, you pretty much just aim and fire and pray that something turns out. The following images were created using a Holga 120 CFN. Enjoy.
If I had to pick one word to sum up the year, I don't know what it would be. I suppose you can't pick just one word to sum up anything. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. And this blog post, with it's "20+" images would mathematically be more words than I would care to list out here. But hopefully, these images in some small way, begin to describe how much fun we've had being creative in 2013 (and quite possibly, late 2012). We're truly thankful for this last year and we're very excited for the next. Onward and Enjoy.

Why would we want to prosecute abusive police officers? Because we aren’t talking about whether all police officers are good or bad. They come in both varieties and we must prosecute the bad ones to respect and help the good ones. We need to recognize the difference so we can better appreciate the good and put an end to the bad.
I recently shared a post from Father James Martin S.J. on Facebook in which he points out that holding a bad officer responsible for abusive behavior is not to be against all officers in general, but against abuse. I’ll go a step further and say that’s it’s a necessity to hold bad officers accountable so that we further differentiate between the two. It is disrespectful in the extreme to every good upstanding police officer to let any overzealous, abusive or criminal officer get away with violence, much less with murder.
There are often stories of police officers who are amazing! I revel in those stories and I enjoy seeing and sharing them on my social media streams. I appreciate so much every officer who takes the job of policing our communities seriously and serves us with their best. Thank God for good police officers! Here are a couple of recent inspiring stories, officers who go the extra mile for people: With Food & Mercy and With Simple Courtesy.
I respect police officers so much. But I’m also going to downtown DC on Saturday to march with everyone else who gathers to protest police brutality. I don’t march because all police officers are bad. I march with families who have lost loved ones to bad policing. I march in memory of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, whose lives matter, and whose lives should not have been taken, and whose deaths are real and terrible.
~ I will march because of the lack of indictments for the officers who killed Mr. Brown and Mr. Garner (and so many others). Those missing indictments should scare every single person in this country, black, white, brown, yellow, male, female, etc etc. Can we be so dismissive of gun violence and the brutality of being choked to death that we just go on with our lives? Can two unarmed U.S. citizens be killed on our streets and our justice system simply choose not to address their deaths? Changes are needed.
~ I will march because so many of my friends here in their own country feel disrespected, disenfranchised, targeted and unsafe. Good good people are hurting because we haven’t learned to live together better than this. They carry a burden every day and every time they enter the public arena. I march on Saturday to show my solidarity with them. I march because I love them.
~ I will march because peace and a better tomorrow cannot come from simply ignoring the problems of today. We cannot dismiss this conversation away or ignore the pain and pleas of our neighbors just because it’s more sensational (or self-justifying) to focus on the rioters and looters.
~ And finally, I will march out of hope and a dream of peace, not out of anger or seeking violence. I’m not looking for a fight, but for an honest recognition that we have some real work ahead of us to bring justice to all our people. I will head downtown Saturday with a prayer on my heart and lips that God keeps the violent at bay and holds us all in check, so that voices might be easier heard than dismissed.
You don’t have to march on Saturday, but I sure wish you would. I sure wish you’d raise your voice with all the hurting people who cry for justice, for explanations, for hope for their children. I wish we’d all choose to work harder to speak for one another, seeing ourselves as our brother’s keeper and our sister’s keeper and the whole human family as our kin and beloved ones. We do not have separate futures in this country, but one shared and connected journey. Our children and grandchildren need us to secure the freedom, equality, safety and justice of that future in every way we can. We’ll only fully realize that hope when we work together.

Will We Live Up To Their Faith in Us?
I’ve been thinking about the children on our Southern border and the need for us to move in a gracious, welcoming, valuing way to address their needs. But it’s not just about their needs. I believe an essential part of who we are as a nation and a people is on the line.
The child immigration crisis in the South is a test of our nation’s values, beliefs and future, and we run the risk of disappointing ourselves as much as neglecting these children. The more I try to hold all the facets of this problem in balance the more I am convinced that we face a unique moment of challenge and opportunity as a nation. Ten and twenty years from now, will we have a generation in our nation that includes these children, I’ll call them Hopers, among us at universities, schools, workplaces and communities across our country? Or will we have a shameful memory of not responding to the hurt and pain of our most vulnerable neighbors?
What is it that causes those parents to hope for so much from us? I’m stumped trying to imagine what the parents of these children must experience in their daily lives at home and what they must imagine we will do as surrogates for their children. Why do they believe in us so deeply and so optimistically? I don’t know, but I do believe this: We have not set a trajectory of hope or healing in our response to these children. We have been afraid and sometimes angry. It’s time to change the conversation and set a new trajectory that will lead us all, all of us, to a blessed and shared future.
Can we live up to what their parents have believed of us? Are we as good as we have believed? More and more I’m beginning to be a Hoper, myself. I want to hope in us and believe in us, too! I want to see us face such a challenge and opportunity with an amazing grace and the poise of a nation that knows all too well about displacement and the painful legacy it leaves behind. We have this amazing opportunity to change the way we act as a species, a nation, a culture and as neighbors. It truly is one of the greatest tests of sharing that I think we have ever faced. And we can be amazing if we choose to be. I hope we shine.
I know the arguments about lawful entry to our country. I understand the fear of validating the practice of just shipping children wholesale across the desert to our border. I get the worries, I understand the indignation, and I share some of the trepidation. We still have to hope. We need hope as much as these children need hope. We still have to act. We still must regard the sanctity of human life and our connection with all people as a central priority to safeguarding our own future, our shared future.
Let’s not fear anymore. Enough with the indignant outrage. Let’s put aside our worry. Let’s embrace these children and face tomorrow with them. They are here now. They are ours. They are us. Let’s share the hope and belief in us of those parents.
I don’t have all the answers to the problem at the border, but we must respond with dignity, hope, love and concern for these children. We must respond, sooner than later. Let’s shoulder the cost of welcoming. Pray. Sign petitions. Donate to relief work. Speak peace. Love these children.
*Here’s a timely warning about neglect and an example of creative thinking to find longer term solutions to problems like this, from David Gergan and Daniel Katz. I thought it was a good read, worth consideration.

Here is something that stuck out to me today, but could easily be over looked if just focusing on Paul’s conversion story as a whole. I paused in my reading to think about those early believers Paul mentioned when he was sharing his testimony.
These are estimate dates, but it is believed that Jesus died around 33 AD, Stephan was martyred for his faith around 34 AD and Pauls’ conversion happened around 34-36 AD.
So the new Christians were happy for about a year….and then needed to flee for their lives! That is crazy commitment!…An attribute that is kind’a lost on us these days.
Would Christians today in the US stick to their beliefs if persecution picked up after a short period of time in their “glory days” of new belief?
Following Jesus requires crazy commitment……these early believers were great examples for us ~ crazy commitment is required almost immediately!!
Wow, good thoughts on that. I'm wondering if I would have stayed so committed- but maybe it would have been easier when I was a new "on fire" Christian than in the middle when I drifted away.
I think "crazy commitment" is present when it is a real commitment. If commitment wanes.....maybe that is one in the processes of developing into a real commitment. That process can be quite long for some. | 2019-04-18T23:18:52 | http://www.walkingwiththeway.com/2018/04/day-103-acts-25_16.html |

Behold the last kingship of southern Africa with cheap flights to Manzini. Geographically located in the middle of the country, this city holds the backbone of transport infrastructure, with the national highway spreading from it to connect all across the country. It spawned from being a hub of commerce since the times of the British, and today is the base of Swazi cultural representation with annual celebrations, dances as well as tribal rituals. Low cost Manzini flights land at Matsapha International Airport, with agents at TravelhouseUK confirming bookings for all SAA flights making a stopover at O R Tambo Airport en-route Manzini.
Manzini, the largest town in Swaziland welcomes visitors to its rich culture and strong traditions with open arms. Known to be a commercial hub, the city also sports enough shopping malls to keep tourists engaged. Manzini’s main attraction is its local market; filled with colour and a wide array of products including handicrafts, glassware, antique boutique items, wood, stone carvings and many other such interesting collections. Although Manzini immerses itself in customs with trace back to generations, it also offers modern, after dark experiences by offering a fair share of night life. Head out to Malandela, as it remains to be the best entertainment venue in Swaziland, offering live performances, alongside hosting the most celebrated 3 day annual Bushfire Festival. The main bars and cafes of the country are centred in Manzini. Stop by at any of the many eateries the city offers, including fine dining restaurants, bakeries and cafes as you indulge in local as well as international cuisines. The traditional Agricultural show has now been transformed into an international trade fair for industries to promote their products. The public places around the central post office and the main malls have open parks to serve as official green areas catering for the town’s urban hub, such as the Millennium Park, Jubilee Park and Civic Office Park. Private greenery efforts include the Summerfield Botanical Garden, located along the banks of the Bobokazi River. Beyond the outskirts along the highway, the Ntfungulu Hills are a prime spot for natural trekking, spanning across protected woodlands, Spring Rivers as well as gorges. Another satellite town of Mhlambanyatsi is located nearby which hosts one of the largest artificial forests. The presence of both Methodist and Anglican Churches highlights the Christian heritage present in the area. One of the largest commercial heritage institutions is Malandela, having an art gallery, a theatre, an arts and crafts workshop as well as a local designer boutique. The famed Swazi Candles are also present here, with wax-made models and multiple patterns of candles regarded as souvenirs representing Swaziland’s heritage. The closest wildlife areas surrounding Manzini include the Milwane Wildlife Sanctuary, the oldest protected wildlife area of the country, the Ngwempisi Gorge, and the most prized of all, the Mkhaya Game Reserve, having a habitat of endangered white rhinos, black rhinos, elephants, leopards and antelopes.

Taxis and mini busses operate to and from the airport, helping tourists in their travel day and night.

To accommodate foreign guests acclimatizing to the local heritage, there are village guest houses also present for tourists to experience the village lifestyle of living. A couple of accommodations provide relaxation spa services for their guests, while certain guest houses operate on bed & breakfast standards for a budget stay. When it comes to standard hotels, the George Hotel classifies as the single option, within easy reach of the central district of Manzini and all major landmarks in the area. Head 12 km from the city to the Malkerns or Ezulwini Valleys where tourists can get to avail the sanctity of nature, away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. | 2019-04-26T13:56:24 | https://www.travelhouseuk.co.uk/flights/africa/manzini.htm |

6/27/12 I have just purchased StitchMastery software and used it to revise the entire pattern to include easier to read charts and … drum roll please…written instructions!
5/10/12. In the border chart move the nupps on the left side up one row from 35/36 to 36/37 to match the right side.
The missing stitch symbol is SSSK.
Thanks to all of you who have sent compliments, suggestions and found errors. There have been several changes to the last chart and a note added to the second chart. Please download the new version.
I have just updated the pattern. There was an error on row 15 of the Dayflower chart. Stitch 5 should be a K2tog, rather than a K.
2/23/11 I have just updated the pattern. There were corrections to the Chevron chart yesterday. Today there were corrections to row numbers and number or times to repeat the Willow leaves chart. Hopefully no one has knit that far yet. There have also been corrections to the Willow Leaves/Aeolian Flowers Chart.
Life lines are a good idea. Frogging lace is not much fun.
Thank you all for your enthusiastic support and patient feed back.
I find that I have to begin charging for this pattern.

AKRON, Ohio, Aug 25 (Reuters) American Jason Gore made the most of playing with Tiger Woods for the first time in a PGA Tour event at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational on Thursday.
Keeping a close eye on the world number one's focus, Gore fired a five-under-par 65 to finish the opening round two strokes behind pacesetting Australian Adam Scott.
''It's the first time I've played with him since he's been Tiger,'' Gore told reporters yesterday. ''Last time I played with him, he was still Eldrick.'' The 32-year-old has known Eldrick T. Woods since their junior golf days in southern California.
''I've played a few practice rounds with him but we still try to keep in touch and I still call him for advice,'' Gore added.
''I have a tremendous amount of respect for Tiger, not only as a golfer but also as a person. He's a really good guy.'' Gore, who gained his place in this week's limited field of 78 by winning last year's 84 Lumber Classic, made a red-hot start at Firestone Country Club.
He birdied the first, eagled the second and birdied the third before reaching the turn in four-under 31.
Although he failed to maintain that pace on the back nine, three more birdies plus two bogeys kept him in the hunt for his second PGA Tour title.
''I've been struggling a little bit this year with focus and being able to watch Tiger today helped me realise that I needed to work more on that,'' Gore said.
''I watched him a lot today, and it's kind of hard not to watch him,'' added the former Nationwide Tour player, who provided the feel-good story of last year's U.S. Open when he charged into a share of the second-round lead.
''He's amazing. I think it kind of bled a little bit into my game and I was able to focus on my shots a little bit. I turned out pretty good. | 2019-04-24T14:26:59 | https://www.oneindia.com/2006/08/25/gore-takes-advantage-of-tiger-watch-1156482738.html |

The doctors who deal with everything that has to do with the eye which may include the caring and maintenance of it for it to have a healthy life are called ophthalmologists. Their purpose in your life is to ensure that your eye has the best kind of functionality it should have whether you are young or old. In terms of eyesight, they will help you live as normal as you ought to by performing simple or complex surgeries if that is what is required to keep a good eyesight and they will also prescribe eye glasses or contact lenses. In order to ensure excellent eyesight and longevity, you will usually find a lot of options being offered to you. If you have been struggling with your eyesight because of health problems, an eye doctor will be able to prescribe to you the best way for you to take in order to experience health in that area.
Your overall physical health is also very dependent on the health of your eyesight. The expertise of a medical eye doctor is very needed when it comes to making sure that your overall health of your eyes is okay. Some of the many options that a medical eye doctor will give you are surgeries, the insertion of contact lenses in your eyes and also eye glasses. The purpose of these options may be to correct an error in your eye, treat a disease in your eye or rectify a problem which will lead to you having a better experience with your vision.
One way you can be able to find an ophthalmologist in your area is by use of an online directory.
Approaching a neighbor, friend or a family member who may have had to visit an ophthalmologist before for one reason or the other is another thing that you should do. When you approach your loved one with this kind of need, they will be able to refer you to a good ophthalmologist especially if they have ever had to utilize the services of one. If they have never had to visit this kind of a doctor, then they may have people close to them who may have to utilize these doctors’ services. Before you move on to the next notion, make sure that you have gone through all your loved ones and that none of them seems to have a clue about this.
This next available option is an option whereby you would have to look for a recommendation from any doctor that you may know. | 2019-04-24T15:49:59 | http://nelso.us/why-health-arent-as-bad-as-you-think/ |
The West Nordic Council is a parliamentary co-operation between Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands. 18 Members of Parliament form the Council, six from each member country. The Council convenes twice a year, for its Annual General Meeting and its Theme Conference. The Council´s Standing Committee organizes and conducts the Council’s general work and activities throughout the year, with the support of the Council´s Secretary-General and the Secretaries of the three national delegations. The West Nordic Council´s Secretariat is located in Reykjavík, Iceland, within the International Secretariat of the Parliament of Iceland.
The West Nordic Council was founded in 1985 in recognition of the many common interests the three countries share in the region. The Council is one of the oldest on-going pan-arctic cooperation mechanisms in the world. Focus areas have included sustainable development, environmental affairs, natural resources, transport, infrastructure, search and rescue, climate change, free trade, security and defense, public health, culture, education, youth and Arctic affairs.
– Promote the common interests of the West Nordics.
– Strengthen cooperation between the West Nordic governments.
– Promote West Nordic interests within Nordic cooperation.
– Strengthen cooperation with and between other West Nordic organizations.
– Strengthen cooperation with other parliamentary organizations, including the Conference of Parliamentarians of the Arctic Region and the European Parliament.
– Adopting resolutions submitted directly to the three national parliaments for approval and subsequently implemented by the appropriate ministers in the governments of the three countries.
– Cooperating with the West Nordic governments.
– Actively participating and contributing to Nordic co-operation within the Nordic Council.
– Facilitating interaction between and sharing information with other West Nordic organizations, including the West Nordic Foundation and the North Atlantic Co-operation Committee, NORA.
– Observing and contributing to the work of the Conference of Parliamentarians of the Arctic Region and its Standing Committee.
– Exchanging views with the SINEEA delegation of the European Parliament (EP) at annual meetings between the West Nordic Council and the EP.
– Organizing conferences and meetings.
– Sharing information on West Nordic issues, locally, regionally and internationally, with amongst others the general public, regional and international partners and the West Nordic governments.
Collectively the nations of the North Atlantic make up a very large geographical area including enormous sea territories. The vast blue sea is to the West Nordic Countries what green fields and woodlands are to other countries. The Faroe Islands and Iceland were populated by Norse Vikings from around the 9th century whereas the history of Greenland populated with Inuits dates back more than 5000 years. The Norse settlers arrived in Greenland around 982 where they lived for almost 500 years. The special cultural and geographic conditions of the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Iceland were subject to political discussions in the early 1980s. Subsequently, the West Nordic countries established a joint parliamentary organisation. The chief aim is to cooperate on common challenges and interests in the West Nordic region and the North Atlantic, in collaboration with other countries and organisations.
The West Nordic Council’s work and activities is organised and led by the Presidium, consisting of three representatives from the member delegations.
The Faroe Islands delegation of the West Nordic Council is appointed by the Faroese Parliament.
The Greenland delegation of the West Nordic Council is appointed by Inatsisartut – the Parliament of Greenland.
The Iceland delegation of the West Nordic Council is appointed by the Parliament of Iceland.
It is not possible for the West Nordic Council to grant direct financial aid or support to projects. | 2019-04-24T04:54:28 | https://www.vestnordisk.is/english/ |

What needs to be taken into consideration when increasing production in a plant already running at full capacity? From the initial blasting phase to the final step in the processing of ore, even the smallest of inefficiencies in the operation can add up. A proper assessment should identify problems and present recommendations based on capex, opex and net present value.
Every plant has bottlenecks: there is always something – a stage or piece of a process – that could be improved to increase production. At first, it might seem that everything is working seamlessly and there are no substantial efficiency gains to be made. However, plants always expand as reducing production is not a viable option. The cost per ton goes up in smaller plants and expansions are driven by value per tonne.
Is the circuit properly configured? That is, can the process flow be altered to increase production?
If the bottleneck is removed, what will be the next constraint one encounters and how much benefit can be derived before that constraint limits production?
Can we get higher equipment availability?
Can we adjust inputs into the circuit (finer feed/ore blending) to help the mill?
First of all, instrumentation must be calibrated, and controls properly tuned, otherwise the reliability of the assessment is at risk. If this is not carried out properly, then uncalibrated instrumentation and controls that are not properly used as well as incomplete historical data may distort results.
One good solution for determining process optimization is a combined control and diagnostic tool such as Metso’s OCS 4D. In this Advanced Process Control (APC) tool, we use an approach called “Dynamic Constraint Control”. It identifies the current limiting aspect of the plant and adjusts production to try to stay close to that limitation. It also quantifies the amount of time that each potential constraint limits production. Finally, there will be solid data on where to target capital investment and what the expected improvement will be once the constraint has been removed.
It is crucial to keep in mind that the root cause for the bottleneck is not always what it might first seem to be. Poor classification, grinding mill performance or changes in ore characteristics can cause symptoms in a pump that is then considered the bottleneck. Ultimately, none of them is directly related to the pump.
Unfortunately, there is no single “off the shelf” optimization solution, as the details of each plant’s design and its limitations dictate a customized solution. Moreover, market and mine conditions may alter the very goal to be targeted. One plant may push for higher production, while another that is limited by contracts or demand may choose to focus on lower production costs or maximizing net present value. Actions based on the differing goals can be very different.
Optimal operating procedures and the process flow diagram may be determined based on traditional ore sampling and mass balancing followed by simulation and optimization tools to help, for example, in recognizing where adjustments to different components, like ball charge, liners and classifier operation, could be made.
Mine to mill assessments (Metso VPS software) can highlight economical ways to improve capacity by improving blasting techniques or crusher operation, whereas DEM tools can assess liner effects on charge. A data-based process audit can also lead to a range of recommendations for improved automation, better operational practices, such as ore blending, and changes to the flowsheet.
As mentioned previously, all of the above options are dependent on the data and measurement tools being in place and functioning well. If not, the assessment will be incomplete, and the implementation risk will be higher. Potentially, the root cause of the bottleneck will not be identified and upgrades, replacements or other changes in the flowsheet will not deliver the expected results.
Another thing to consider when adding equipment or modifying equipment is the fact that some other element of the process may be nearly at its maximum and limit potential benefits despite the removal of the correct bottleneck.
To make sure that the production increase brings the most value, one really needs to examine how to invest capital. It is safe to say that zero investments result in zero improvement. However, desirable benefits will not necessarily be achieved by simply investing money without considering what the potential effects and secondary bottlenecks may be. Wise and well justified investment is what leads to desirable results.
We have seen cases where production has been driven up with advanced process control in the comminution circuit, but the gain has been minimal because there was not enough capacity to keep up with it. Many times, the SAG mill ball charge is increased to increase hard rock production, but this gain is lost when moving to a softer ore and SAG mill is no longer a constraint. This is not only unproductive, but also detrimental, as the mill wears faster, and higher power is drawn without any associated increase in throughput.
On the other hand, we have also had clients who were able to use the constraints limiting a process to increase pump motor sizes and then enjoyed a substantial production increase based on this relatively inexpensive solution. Directing capital investment intelligently is a formula for success.
Antamina mine increased production by integrating and optimizing blast fragmentation, crushing and grinding operations. | 2019-04-25T04:38:09 | https://www.metso.com/blog-hub/mining-minds/increasing-plant-production-part-1/ |

WHAT IS CWEX A new cryptocurrency allowing wine traders and cryptocurrency holders to trade & hold fine wine on www.cwinex.com exchange in CWEX/BTC/ETH/NEO/USDT. Fine wines are among the most profitable investment assets. Demand for investing in them is growing significantly. However, current fine wine trading platforms are complicated and have high processing fees. The CWEX exchange aims to establish easy to access and easy to use fine wine trading platform. Backed up by its partner, DotChain GmbH based in Switzerland, it guarantees anonymity and security of investment by providing blockchain based ownership certification to each bottle of wine traded on the trading platform. This system of trading with ownership certificates significantly lowers the current processing fees, leaving the buyer almost 80% higher value of his investment at the start.
Crypto Wine Exchange (CWEX) is a blockchain-based fine wine-trading platform, connecting cryptocurrency owners to the fine wine market without complications from regulations and bonded storage.
Over the past five years, fine wine investors have seen 10-20% annual growth rates in their investment. Reports comparing investment performance by asset class, ranks fine wine at first place with a performance of 24% in a period of 12 months. In consideration of longer investment periods – 5 to 10 years, fine wine still scores high – as the second most successful asset. Furthermore, collectible wines are among the most desirable investment assets, immediately after ~cars1 . Everything points to the fact that fine wine is a low-risk, stable investment. However, the situation is not as positive in every aspect. Although fine wine markets have been growing globally over the past few years, there are still a number of legal and practical obstacles in expansion advancement.
The Crypto Wine Exchange Hong Kong (CWEX) in partnership with DotChain GmbH based in Switzerland is designed to provide solutions.
Crypto Wine Exchange (CWEX) will provide interested parties with new, more accessible and smoother fine wine trading options as compared to those currently available in the industry. Crypto Wine Exchange (CWEX) will enable cryptocurrency holders in investing their coins into tangible assets (fine wine), and fine wine traders will be able to enter the fast-growing and lucrative cryptocurrency market.
1. A Swiss-based company (DotChain GmbH Switzerland) will act as a governing authority. It will be responsible for onboarding partners and merchants, auditing partners’ and merchants’ stock, securing storage and insurance against disasters (e.g., loss of labels due to a cellar floods, exposure to extreme temperatures, theft, business interruptions and duty liability). The company will be responsible in the issuance of blockchain-based ownership certifications.
2. Crypto Wine Exchange Hong Kong (CWEX), the first blockchain-based crypto marketplace for automated fine wine trading will enable traders, private clients, wine funds and crypto coin owners to trade together in a live market environment on a global scale. The platform will help members buy and sell fine wine on a consolidated marketplace, giving them the ability to set prices and, ultimately, maximize returns. Low commission rates of just 1% will lower barriers to fine wine trading, increase volume and make trading more cost-effective than ever before. The addition of a fully automated and free to use portfolio management system will allow members to self-manage their fine wine collections and trade them on an equal online platform, even if stored in different (worldwide) warehouses.
Crypto Wine Exchange Hong Kong (CWEX), in partnership with the Swiss-based company DotChain GmbH Switzerland, will guarantee investment anonymity and security through a blockchain-based ownership certification system; any traded fine wine bottle will be provided with a unique certificate of authenticity to be issued on the blockchain. These certificates can then be traded between buyers and sellers without wine leaving its storage location unless a buyer requests a delivery to the location of his/her choice.
The core activities of the Crypto Wine Exchange Hong Kong (CWEX) growth will involve running the trading platform, providing technical customer support service and improving trading fluency. The exchange is planned to grow through quality services, simplicity and transparency. We will focus on maintaining high-quality listings enabled by exclusive fine wine partners and merchants, and insured by the authority of our partner, DotChain GmbH Switzerland. This Swiss-based business entity will govern the onboarding of partners and merchants, issuing certificates of authenticity, and ensuring fine wines listed on the exchange have secure storage and insurance.
The CWEX platform connects cryptocurrency owners to the fine wine market without regulations and bonded storage complications. It acts as an intermediary between sellers and buyers, ensuring smooth and fast technical performance in the trading process. Two business entities will be in charge of management: the Swiss-based company will ensure contractual validity of products, trade accountability and product authenticity, while the Hong Kong-based Crypto Wine Exchange (CWEX) will oversee a blockchain-based crypto marketplace that allows automated wine trading.
We guarantee the security of investment to traders on the platform by the authority of the Swiss-based company, which acts as an auditor of fine wine vendors. This way, only fine wine vendors who successfully pass our strict auditing process will be able to list wines on the exchange. They will be required to provide insurance against fraud, a guarantee of good state and appropriate wine storage, as well as insurance against natural disasters or any other event that might pose a threat to investments. A unique certificate of authenticity issued on the blockchain will provide guarantee for any wine bottle traded on the platform. A buyer will receive a blockchain-based proof of ownership (a wine certificate on blockchain). Performance of trade on the platform will be exclusively through cryptocurrencies. Similar to current cryptocurrency exchanges, sellers and buyers will be anonymous during the trading process.
The first step of the trading process will be the listing of fine wines on the exchange. As previously stated, only fine wine vendors passing a strict auditing process conducted by the business entity in Switzerland will be able to list their wines for trading. Every bottle of wine listed on the exchange will be provided with a certificate of authenticity. The certificate of authenticity will be issued by the same business entity which audits and manages vendors to guarantee authenticity of wine bottles and the investment value.
Initially, there will be access to trading on the platform for the major coins as well as for the native token CWEX. The platform will offfer a reduced trading commission to traders who make transactions in the native token (CWEX). There will be a list of coins available for trade on the platform, which will expand gradually. Additional costs apply in case of physical wine delivery. | 2019-04-21T22:39:34 | https://cryptototem.com/cryptowine-exchange-cwex-ico/ |
When I try to edit the color of a course card on the Dashboard, and click "apply," I get a little circle with a slash through it icon (as in "do not ..."). Fix?
I heard back from my on-campus tech helper ... it was a browser issue; didn't work in Internet Explorer, but works fine in Chrome.
Christopher, are you picking one of the pre-selected colors or entering in your own hex color code? If you're entering in your own code could you provide what you're using? In general though if you're having issues like this my recommendation would be to submit a Help ticket to Canvas support (Help link on bottom left and then "Report a Problem").
it's one of the pre-selected colors. I've put in a help ticket.
I'm glad you filed a help ticket! Please let us know what Canvas Support has to say about the cause of the problem and how to fix it!
Interesting... I was thinking about mentioning your browser, but didn't think that would really cause an issue like this. In general we tell students and faculty to NOT use Internet Explorer or Edge. The ones that work well with Canvas are Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.
Thanks for coming back and lettings us know what you found out! | 2019-04-26T00:53:30 | https://community.canvaslms.com/thread/10661-edit-course-card-color |
