Starting in India and Persia and evolving in the 15th century into the game we know today, chess is, without a doubt, one of the most mind-bending, all-consuming, one-on-one games of pure will and determination known to man. The strategic and tactical nature of the game makes its required skill level rise above and beyond any of the trite findings of your everyday online casinos. But with an easy-to-learn format, many of today’s online gamers are logging onto chess-specific sites to match their grit and will to win against a plethora of opponents.
The reemergence of chess’s popularity is surprising to many who have witnessed the rise of the Internet’s dominating presence. While on the web, the world is literally at your fingertips. Would you like to check out the latest FPS or role-playing game? Just type it into your favorite search engine and watch the millions of results come back instantly. Maybe you enjoy shopping, writing, photo editing, etc; well, the internet makes it easy for you. But who would guess that so many millions would be willing to invest time – especially in this age of lightning-fast convenience – into chess?
The largest reason for the new wave of chess players has to do with the Internet itself: It’s infinitely easier to find a game online than it is offline. Even though there are many chess clubs around the world, offering tournaments with cash prizes and even global recognition, the ‘Net still provides a place where a player can find a game any time, day or night.
Whether it’s for practice against a chess-bot or a head-to-head matchup against a worthy opponent, the chess player only has to log on to his or her favorite chess site, open a favorite program, or invite a friend in via Yahoo! to play. It’s easy to access but mastering chess is another story entirely.
One of the biggest reasons for our ongoing love affair with chess has to do with the premise of the game. Similar in ways to other strategy based games like backgammon, only a proper strategy will result in a victory. There’s no luck involved in the game of chess. You’re attempting to outmaneuver your opponent on a move-by-move basis. And instead of pouncing early and often to dominate, the game is drawn out, requiring an opponent’s King be captured. It’s this war-like setup that hooks the average player.
The game is as fun to practice as it is to play against a live opponent. There’s always a large amount of pride at stake when playing. Through calculating moves, traps, strategies, and more, chess players slowly move to dominate their opponents. The combination of strategy and convenience makes chess an ever-popular game. | 2019-04-20T05:06:11 | https://chessok.com/2009/09/chess-and-poker/ |
What does your bedroom look like? Is it a place where you enjoy spending time? A bedroom should be designed to suit your lifestyle, your tastes and your budget. This is a room where most people spend a lot of time and so it makes sense to invest in the design of it. If the look of your bedroom isn’t meeting your expectations, then it may be time to rethink and redecorate.
It can sometimes be easy to neglect the bedroom when redecorating, particularly when sharing a house with other people; the rooms that are shared by everyone tend to take priority and the bedroom can often be left till last, if done at all. The areas of the house that are more ‘public’, such as the living room, kitchen and dining room will often be the more tempting choice when redecorating. But taking the time to consider the aesthetics of your bedroom and making the best out of the space available, will pay off in many ways. Having a space that is restful, stylish and organised, that you can call your own, will give you a sense of calm that you just can’t achieve with a messy and unattractive room. Sleeping in a relaxing environment is so important, as poor sleeping conditions can lead to headaches, insomnia and other problems.
So perhaps you’re ready to try out some exciting new decor theme or a piece of contemporary furniture, but you’re on a tight budget. If this is the case, then consider redecorating the room gradually, over a long period of time. Small improvements and subtle new decorative additions will slowly enhance the appearance of the room, without costing you a small fortune. One point to remember is this; think about quality rather than quantity when it comes to furnishing your bedroom. One well designed piece of contemporary furniture, such as a four poster bed or a chic dressing table, would be a far better choice than several cheaper pieces that lack character and style. If you decide to splash out and purchase several new furniture items, then remember that they do not have to match, but there should still be a certain consistency in the overall look of the room. This might mean that you choose furniture whose colour tones are complementary to one another, or that all of the pieces you select have some style element which is similar.
If you are investing in quality contemporary furniture items, then consider selecting pieces that are relatively neutral in colour, as you are less likely to tire of these. Boldly coloured furniture may appeal to you now, but a few years down the line, it may not seem so attractive. Instead, those who want a striking colour in their bedroom should experiment with wall colours, as it is far easier and cheaper to replace a wall colour than to replace an expensive piece of furniture, should you get tired of the colour choice. Well made pieces of furniture are an investment to which you should give a great deal of thought, as well designed furniture items can last a lifetime. | 2019-04-21T21:06:51 | https://williamgarvey.co.uk/decorating-a-bedroom-with-contemporary-furniture/ |

This book introduces the new innovative social/business models that are making the world a better place and portrays the inspiring people behind them.
Starting with an update on microfinance, it covers other innovative market-oriented models such as base of the pyramid (BOP) businesses, social enterprises and microfranchises. These models together with microfinance are improving the lives of the 4 billion people living at the BOP. The last section covers in detail a remarkable example in this area, Scojo Foundation. Scojo is developing the market for affordable reading glasses at the BOP through microfranchising.The book provides the author’s insights on 1) how the business (for-profit) and social (non-profit) worlds have been converging, setting the stage for these new models to emerge, 2) how these models, the people behind them, and the advent of Web 2.0, are creating a strong and positive movement towards a more responsible, sustainable and kinder world and 3) how all of us could make a difference.The book has been published in German language by rueffer and rub with the title >Kleiner Einsatz Grosse Wirkung. (Small input, big impact - thus,the red chilis of the cover) This book illustrates a giga trend, the powerful movement of making the world a better place.

MICROFRANCHISING: Creating Wealth at the Bottom of the Pyramid, the first major publication on this subject, is now available. (Edward Elgar Publishing). This edited volume comprising 13 chapters and 18 authors introduces the concept of microfranchising and discusses how this business model can be effectively used for poverty alleviation. Different models of microfranchising are reviewed and specific case studies are highlighted to show how it has worked and is working in different parts of the world. Also the advantages as well as potential problems and pitfalls of microfranchising are discussed. My contribution was on the subject of “Microfranchise Funding” (Chapter 12).
If there is one thing I could hope for is that the price for this book would be a bit lower so more people can afford to buy it and read it.

This is my second commentary on the classic thriller by Alfred Hitchcock.
My first post discussed the opening sequence, comparing the shooting script to the film, and Truffaut's vision of Hitchcock as auteur.
The story begins with the chance meeting of Guy, a quiet but affable tennis star, and Bruno, a smooth-talking rich man, on a train. Bruno reads the "society pages", and knows that Guy would like to marry Ann, a senator’s daughter, but cannot do so until he divorces his unfaithful first wife, Miriam.
In the parlor car Hitchcock introduces what will become the MacGuffin: the lighter that is a gift from Ann. Guy will forget it in Bruno’s compartment. The film’s third act will hinge on Bruno’s plan to plant the lighter at the scene of the crime, and Guy’s attempt to stop him.
Defining the MacGuffin to Truffaut Hitchcock says: "it doesn't matter what it is… The only thing that really matters is that in the picture the plans, documents, or secrets must seem to be of vital importance to the characters. To me, the narrator, they're of no importance whatever."
After lunch in his private train compartment, Bruno tells Guy that he would like his bossy father to disappear. Bruno then floats his idea for a perfect murder: two complete strangers swap “each other’s murders”, so that there is no apparent motive. Guy laughs it off, and gets off the train in his hometown.
François Truffaut quotes Hitchcock as saying that “the stronger the bad guy, the better the film”. And it’s true that much of the power of Strangers comes from Bruno Antony, superbly played by Robert Walker.
Part of Hitchcock’s mastery lies in his ability to condense information. The director is reported to have said that a good actor could save him 10 pages of the script. This is evident in the first act of Strangers.
The first 4 minutes of dialogue in the club car establish Bruno as a busybody, and Guy’s predicament: needing to divorce his wife to marry his beloved. The next 4 minutes of dialogue in Bruno’s compartment establish his crazy idea of swapping murders, which Guy breezily dismisses by saying “Sure, sure” as he leaves.
Ten minutes into the film, Hitchcock has established the film’s unusual premise; the director then makes his signature on-screen cameo, crossing paths with Guy as he gets off the train. Hitchcock's cameos can be seen as his way of humorously putting his auteur stamp on each of his films.
This speedy first act setup is made possible because Robert Walker plays his role so well. Bruno is a great bad guy, and, ten minutes in, we’re convinced that he’s just crazy enough to go through with his murder swap idea.
Bruno is a distant cousin of Psycho’s Norman Bates, and like him, a mamma’s boy who’s also a murderous psychotic. But Bruno is far more sociable than Norman, he is rich and affable, and is able to mingle with high-society and charm old ladies.
By some conventional story criteria, Bruno is the protagonist of Strangers on a Train, not Guy. It is Bruno's actions that push the plot forward with his dogged determinism, and at times, Hitchcock even makes us identify with Bruno despite ourselves, for example when he struggles to get the MacGufffin, Guy's lighter, out of the sewer drain in the third act.
Truffaut tells Hitchcock that Bruno “is perhaps your best bad guy, because he succeeds in being more touching” than the good guy, adding that the two are really “one character split in two”. This goes to the heart of the movie’s theme, that Guy shares Bruno’s desire to murder, and, in fact, so does the viewer.
Trains are a recurring theme in Hitchcock’s films, prompting one critic to ask: “What is it about Hitchcock and trains?” The simple answer is that trains are cinematic, because they move.
The meeting between Guy and Bruno is a great example of a cinematic train sequence. If the two scenes took place in a bar and apartment, instead of a parlor car and train compartment, the 8 minutes of dialogue might have seemed very theatrical: two people talking on a sound stage. But the train’s moving shadows and passing landscapes make the dialogue scenes come alive.
Hitchcock’s camera angles for the parlor car and compartment are fairly conventional. After the initial parlor car wide shot, Bruno joins Guy at his table, and the scene is then composed of 2-shots and over-the-shoulder singles.
While the compositions are conventional, the lighting is not. Cinematographer Robert Burks, ASC, takes full advantage of the train setting to help define an ominous mood for the train scenes. Burk’s lighting creates a bright day interior, but with strong, animated blacks. The landscapes outside the windows are achieved with rear projection, which we’ll come back to.
In the parlor scene, most of the light is motivated by the interior practicals. Bruno is lit with an interior key and window sidelight, until he sits next to Guy.
When the two men are side by side, Burks positions the outside sun source to backlight Guy, and sidelight Bruno through venetian blinds that create shadows across his face. These sharp dark stripes give Bruno a menacing quality. Guy’s reverse angle is more normal, with the window offering a flattering sidelight. What's striking is the visual complexity of the backgrounds, as if the scene is difficult to decipher.
In the next scene in the train compartment, the two men face each other in front of a large window with rear screen projection, which motivates most of the day interior lighting. The images in this scene are simpler than the previous one.
In this scene Burks had his grips create rapidly moving shadows inside the compartment and notably across Bruno’s face. This rhythmic variegated darkness is a perfect visual indication of the villain’s dark and unstable nature, as he reveals his twin murder proposal.
Hitchcock may have been thinking of this kind of lighting when he told Truffaut that the actor “should be willing to be utilised and wholly integrated into the picture by the director and the camera. He must allow the camera to determine the proper emphasis and the most effective dramatic highlights."
Robert Burks started his career as a special effects cinematographer for Warners, which gave him a mastery of the technical and aesthetic requirements for rear screen projection.
Rear screen projection involves placing a large projection screen in the background of the set, and shooting a foreground with actors and sometimes a set. This involved a cable synchronizing the shutters of the camera and projector to avoid flicker.
To be successful, rear screen projection required carefully planning the footage to be projected before the shoot. On the set, the cinematographer had to balance the foreground lighting to match the screen, and select the right focal length and camera position to make the effect convincing.
There are two contemporary techniques similar to rear screen projection: Translights and green screens. Translights are like huge photographic slides, often set up outside the windows of a set depicting a static cityscape or landscape. Translights can be backlit or frontlit. Green screens are painted expanses of material or walls, whose surfaces will be replaced with moving images in post-production. One advantage of old-fashioned rear screen is that the final image is created on the set, it's an in-camera effect that can be seen by the entire crew.
Today’s filmmakers usually resort to green screen to depict something that can’t easily be shot, like a medieval castle, distant mountains, cityscape vistas, or alien worlds made with virtual imagery. Hitchcock however used rear screens to avoid location shooting. The director was known to prefer the controlled lighting and sound of stages to the uncertainties of locations.
Several scenes in the Strangers on a Train combine a location wide shot with medium or close shots done with rear screen. While the wide shot sells the location, the closer shots enable the filmmakers to work in a controlled environment.
When Guy arrives at the train station, Hitchcock starts with a wide location shot, then cuts to a rear projection screen shot when Guy speaks with the baggage handler. An extra passes by behind them to help the illusion.
When Guy visits his wife Miriam in the music shop she works in, the store windows give on to a giant rear projection screen.
In the first shot the rear screen is used to create a reflection on the shop window, as Guy and some extras move in front of the shop set.
In the second shot, the rear screen is seen behind Guy as he looks through the lettering on the shop window.
Once inside, the full rear screen is seen behind the windows in the wide shot of the shop interior. Extras walk in front of the screen to help sell the effect.
Although Hitchcock use of rear screen projection has often been criticized, I feel that the rear screen scenes in Strangers on a Train do not conflict with the look of the film. The artifice is pleasing, slightly diffused, and fits into the imagined world of the master of suspense.
In the next installment, we shall look at Hitchcock's approach to murder scenes. | 2019-04-26T04:48:15 | https://ascmag.com/blog/the-film-book/strangers-on-a-train-2-bad-guy-trains-rear-screens |

Phishing is an insidious attacks that seek to part you from your personal data or your money. At their previous height, they were targeting individuals in order to steal their identities or their bank account details. Now the prime target is smaller businesses. Those organizations who don’t have the luxury of an IT team and who tend to use free tools to protect their networks.
Dave’s Computers gets a lot of inquiries from small businesses and sole contractors that revolve around data security and recovery. We can help in many instances of these, but one thing we cannot do is help with recovering from a phishing attack. The nature of these attacks means that once you have responded to them, that’s it. We can clean your systems of malware, but that is all any IT consultant can do.
Phishing is where a scammer sends a legitimate looking email purporting to be from your bank, a client, vendor, UPS or other real life company. The logo will look the same, the text will look the same, the email will even use the same font and language that real emails from the company use. Only slight variations in word use can tell them apart.
The sophistication of these phishing emails are what causes the problem. They look, sound and feel legitimate. The attachment or link may pass through your malware scanner and it is all too easy to fall pretty to it.
There are other forms of phishing too such as website redirection to a clone of a banking website or the fake Wi-Fi access point close to a real one. Fake SMS called SMishing is also gaining in popularity. These are less common but still a risk.
Fake invoices or requests for payment from suppliers or vendors.
Fake warnings from your bank or credit card company.
Fake requests for information from interested would-be customers.
These are generally ads on social networks offering massive discounts on iPhones or cash rewards for completing a questionnaire. The trouble is, lots of legitimate companies run completely honest campaigns just like this. Telling which is which is almost impossible so it’s best to ignore them completely.
This is a very common phishing attack directed at small businesses. An email purporting to offer payment for goods or services or including an attached invoice arrives. It looks and feels real and the attachment says it is an .xls or .docx file. Except it often isn’t. It is a disguised malware executable.
If you’re lucky, you will be asked to fill in a web form in order to receive payment. If you’re unlucky, spyware will be instantly installed on your computer ready to harvest all the information it can get.
This phishing scam has been around for years but has grown more sophisticated. The email looks and feels legit, hover over the links and the URL contains what looks like the bank domain. They sometimes even offer a phone number you can call to complete the process. Except the link doesn’t go to the bank’s website and the number doesn’t go to the bank’s call center.
Most businesses are more than happy to supply service and product information to potential customers. In fact, it is a necessary part of doing business. However, when initially hooked, an organization is gradually asked for more and more information until eventually financial details or company information is involved.
Fake job ads target both individuals looking for a job and companies looking for staff. Emails or ads are presented offering to find work or employees and a link to the website is provided. The link either sends you to a web form where you are asked a series of detailed questions or send you to an infected page that will download malware without you realizing it.
Do you notice one theme that runs through all those phishing attack types? They all require action from the user to work. Remove the human element and they all fail. Therefore, a good email filtering system and user education is the order of the day.
Email filters are commercial products that remove many email threats before they are even delivered. Many are provided from the cloud and bill using per-seat licensing so you only pay for what you use. Some are more effective than others so you need to do your research to find the right one for your needs.
Ignore unsolicited emails wherever possible. Ask if you’re not sure.
Never click on an email attachment unless they have verified the sender.
Never click on email links from outside the company. Type the bank/credit card company/vendor URL manually and separately from the email to check if you must. Do not use the URL provided in the email.
Ignore social media advertising. If the offer is too good to be true, it probably isn’t true.
Only use well known job sites to find work or employees.
Creating a pro forma customer information pack for inquiries is also useful if you are a business. As is arranging a telephone consultation with customers to determine whether they are legitimate or not. While we want you to be careful, we certainly don’t want you to lose business!
Companies should not require personal details for B2B transactions. Neither do they need to know your date of birth, social security number, company bank account number or anything like that.

The first mohair scarf is all frogged. I have also crocheted the bigger double loop squares to the place I was before deciding to start over. Since the scarf isn’t blocked yet it is very hard to make it look good in a photograph. I am hoping that blocking will make it look better. It looks fine up close since it is so fluffy. Maybe there is a photography trick for emphasizing fluffiness. Rick says to take it outside in the early morning light. The early morning cold is keeping me from trying that suggestion. The first photo is lit from the back.
This second photo is how it looks flat.

Versus is a sock you MUST have in your drawer. The guys are so fun and cool to chat with and their interview below shows it. It’s the right balance between technical and fun, much like you like your own cycling life. And best of all, they are the first to note the sizing difference between male and female feet! Keep your eyes peeled (no pun intended) and go bananas (pun intended) for new styles coming soon!
What is your favorite Versus sock/shoe combo?
Versus Jelly Bean socks and Specialized S-Works road shoes.
We try and keep the majority of cyclists happy. We have our longer socks (Premium Race and Premium Trail) and also our mid-length Race and Trail socks – that’s not too high and not too short.
We work with local South African manufacturers that help us to develop our socks, but we do all the designing ourselves.
Why do you think cycling socks are so much fun to wear and design?
Cycling socks are like spices to a chef. It gives that extra touch of flavour to a cycling kit.
Why do you not offer a women’s sock different from a men’s? Oftentimes, especially for smaller footed women the design is off when worn and fit can sometimes be not quite right.
Do you consider mixed materials in your socks for specific purposes – warmer weather, cooler weather, wet weather, road versus CX, etc?
We use polyester, nylon and cotton in our socks, with structured breathable panels at the right places for maximum breathability and comfort. Our Trail and Premium Trail socks are thicker in the foot area, which is mostly used by mountain bikers. Our Race and Premium Race socks are thinner in the foot area and preferred by road cyclists.
Do materials make a beneficial difference to athletes?
Yes it does, but it’s mostly personal preference.
What is your design inspiration? The meaning behind your designs and patterns?
Anything new to look out for soon?
Yes definitely! Check our social media in October! | 2019-04-22T08:36:32 | https://womenskit.com/2016/09/17/sockturday-versus/ |

I am compelled to get the word out regarding a Senate bill that could adversely affect private preschools in California. The bill is labeled SB 837 or Kindergarten Readiness Act of 2014. This bill is written with good intentions, but the implementation is a problem. The bill written by state Sen. Darrell Steinberg is asking for approval to provide free preschool to all 4-year-olds — a noble idea. Because of how the author and co-authors have chosen to fund the bill, it places these 4-year-olds in our public school system. I would imagine any person in the field of early childhood development; teacher, psychologist and doctor would oppose this bill.
The bill states that through longitudinal studies it has been found that those children who attended quality preschool programs had higher graduation rates, college enrollment rates and earning rates. This is what preschool educators have provided for years. Four-year-olds still need help developing social skills and gaining confidence. They need space inside and out allowing them to explore their environment. This will not happen at an elementary school. Elementary schools predominantly have blacktop as the surface outside. Inside the classroom, the environment will not be warm and inviting as in a quality preschool and won’t have the supplies needed to create and invent.
What about working parents that need an after-school program? After a certain time of day, the young children will more than likely be mixed in with the older children (as it is now). Again, not appropriate. The funding cannot be used to upgrade facilities for 4-year-olds; meaning they will make do with what they have in place, which is suited for 5 years and up. Let’s also talk about whether or not your local school has space to house a whole new age of children. Will class sizes grow in the other grades to make space for the younger children?
If this bill passes how it is written, with parents unable to access the funding and choose a quality preschool, we feel that a great number of private preschools will have to shut their doors. Most preschools have 50% of children age 4, which also helps the schools differ the costs of the younger children who require smaller class sizes. As we have seen through the already implemented TK classes in the public schools, parents will leave a preschool they have to pay for, if another one is free. If we can’t keep our doors open because of losing half our clientele then who will service the families with younger children? This bill could impact preschools, teachers, vendors and families.
Let’s put aside all the financial ramifications. My passion is and has been helping shape the minds and spirits of young children. I have been in the field for 23 years, first as a teacher and now as a director of Parents and Children’s Nursery School in La Cañada. None of us in our field do our jobs for the paycheck, because there isn’t much of one. We do it because we are passionate about helping young children understand who they are and how far they can go.
We need to keep enriching our children with experiences, music, art and expression. A quality program embraces the whole child. Children leave us with the love of school and the curiosity needed to learn. We need our artists, musicians, scientists and writers as well as our leaders in business. Our public school system has already taken away so much from our children. Do we want them to take it away even sooner?

Fantastic skirt in printed fabric 100% cotton, with the representation of the hearts of Viana gilded in filigree on a black background.
Retro cut below the knee, with male pleats on the strap, front and back, with elastic in the strap and side pockets.
"The hearts of Viana have a markedly religious origin. In classical antiquity the heart represented the center of life, Solidarity, fraternity and love, these being the most salient characteristics in the lives of the saints, so they were represented with the heart out of the breast.
These hearts underlined the warmth of love with the flames that sprunted from the upper part, and this part was a stylization of these same flames, so they call themselves flaming or double hearts.
They appeared in Portugal with the Cult of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and hence the people enjoy using it to their breasts as a sacred symbol, with more simplified forms.

Hanukkah begins on Wednesday, and one of the holiday’s traditional foods is the latke, a crispy pancake usually made from potatoes.
While most latkes feature white potatoes, sweet potatoes are the stars of today’s recipe. Serve them with the traditional accompaniments: applesauce or sour cream.
All of the ingredients can be found at your local natural and organic food store.
Combine sweet potatoes, eggs, onions, flour, salt and pepper in large bowl.
Pour oil to 1/4-inch depth in a skillet. Heat over medium heat until hot. Measure 2 tablespoons potato mixture for each latke. Flatten in palm of hand. Place in oil and flatten again by pressing with large spatula.
Cook 2 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Remove from pan; drain on paper towels. | 2019-04-26T00:41:20 | https://www.organicauthority.com/buzz-news/sweet-potato-latkes |
Self-hatred and harm: Due to intense feelings of self-hatred, depressed people can indulge in activities harming themselves like scratching or slapping themselves, making multiple cuts on their body, etc.
Alcohol and Substance Abuse: Depressed people try to find solace in alcohol, smoking, sleeping pills and even illicit drugs. Slowly, dependence on these substances increases and the individual gets addicted.
Physical illnesses: Physical ailments can lead to or even be a consequence of Depression. It is common for depressed individuals to suffer from Eating disorders, Sleeping disorders, etc.
Unemployment and social isolation: Depressed people keep themselves isolated, aloof. They avoid all social functions, interactions, gatherings, parties, functions, etc. This attitude can even cost them their job.
Suicide: The most devastating complication of Depression is suicide. Upto 2/3rd of suicides occur as a result of Depression. Also depressed men are more likely to commit suicide than depressed women. | 2019-04-19T06:37:37 | https://www.welcomecure.com/diseases/depression/complications |
Losing a loved one is extremely painful and difficult to accept – especially when that loss is directly attributable to someone else’s negligence. Under the law, a “wrongful death” is a death which is caused by a wrongful act, negligence, omission, or default of another. California law allows family members to financially recover losses that were caused by a wrongful death. While no amount of money can change the past and bring your loved one back, a successful wrongful death claim can certainly help you feel that justice has been done and address any financial issues that are associated with your loss. However, recovering losses is not as simple as saying you believe you deserve compensation. California state law and the courts have strict procedures that must be followed and legal burdens of proof that must be met before the other party can be held liable for wrongful death. In order to prove a wrongful death, you have to have facts to prove certain legal elements. For example, you must be able to prove with facts the death occurred due to another party’s wrongful or negligent act. This means having enough evidence to meet the required burden of proof. You are not required to prove a wrongful death case beyond a reasonable doubt like in a criminal case. Instead, you only have to prove that it was 51% likely the death was wrongful. This is commonly known as the preponderance of the evidence.
At Injury Justice Law Firm, LLP, we understand the legal terms can be confusing and how important it is people who have lost loved ones through tragedy to feel a sense of closure. Our Los Angeles wrongful death lawyers provide compassionate, aggressive, and goal-oriented counsel and representation and have the experience required to bring your case to a successful outcome.
Wrongful death cases are generally more complex than other types of personal injury cases. For starters, a wrongful death claim is typically brought by the personal representative of a decedent’s estate and is filed against the person or entity who caused the decedent’s death. In the State of California, a wrongful death case may be brought on behalf of the wife, husband, child, or children of the decedent. If there is no wife, husband, or child, a wrongful death action may be maintained for the benefit of the parents, sisters, or brothers of the decedent who may have been dependent upon the decedent for support.
Additionally, if your family member’s wrongful death was caused by negligence, you must be able to satisfy all the certain legal elements of negligence. These elements include that the liable party had a duty of care to the victim; they breached the duty of care in some way; the breach caused the accident leading to the death; and the wrongful death resulted in losses to you. A duty of care will vary depending on the specific type of accident. Some wrongful death cases are not caused by negligence, but from intentional violence. In these type cases, the legal elements to prove an intentional act include that the person intended to commit the act; they made contact with the victim; and the contact caused fatal results.
If it can be proven the death was caused by a negligent or a wrong act of another party, the next step is to prove you sustained damages as a result of the loss. Common damages sought after in a California wrong death case include the cost of the funeral and burial; loss of financial support; loss of future income; loss of household services; and loss of victim’s love and support.
While it may be necessary to prove negligence in some wrongful death cases, it is important to keep in mind that many cases are settled well before either side sees the inside of a Los Angeles courtroom. For example, in a wrongful death case arising from a drunk driving accident in which only the defendant was drunk, it is unlikely that the defense would serious contest legal liability. As a result, the only issue that would still need to be resolved is how much the at-fault party (or their insurance) will pay the victim.
If your case seems like it is going settle without you needing to prove negligence, you may be questioning whether you really need to retain an attorney. While there is no law requiring you to do so, it is helpful to keep in mind that a lawyer can have a significant impact on the way that your case is resolved. For this reason, it is highly advisable for anyone who thinks they have a case arising from an accident resulting in the loss of a loved one to speak to a lawyer immediately.
If a family member has died as a result of someone else’s negligence, and a personal representative has been appointed, you may be able to bring a wrongful death action on behalf of the decedent’s estate. The compassionate wrongful death attorneys at Injury Justice Law Firm LLP can help you resolve your wrongful death case in a way that an adequately compensates you for all of the losses you have experienced.

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana – The No. 11 Texas A&M Aggies surrendered a late lead in a 2-1 loss to the No. 12 LSU Tigers in Friday evening's series opener at Alex Box Stadium.
Texas A&M led 1-0 at the seventh inning stretch, but the Tigers took advantage of an Aggie error to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh and LSU grabbed the lead with a solo home run by Josh Smith in the eighth.
Aggie starting pitcher John Doxakis was left with no-decision despite a stellar performance on the mound. He yielded just one unearned run on four hits while striking out four over 6.2 innings. The southpaw became the 18th Aggie to reach the 200-strikeout plateau in their career. Bryce Miller (4-1) was saddled with the loss, yielding one run on one hit while striking out one in 1.1 innings.
Texas A&M pounded balls all night, but the LSU defense played flawless and limited the Maroon & White to six hits. Logan Foster and Braden Shewmake each registered a double for the Aggies. Texas A&M was doomed by five runners left on base in the fifth and sixth innings, missing opportunities to add insurance runs.
The Aggies and Tigers play a doubleheader Saturday with games scheduled for 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
T3 | Logan Foster started the frame with a wall-banger to centerfield for a double. With one out, Zach DeLoach drove a single up the middle, plating Foster. A&M 1, LSU 0.
B7 | Leadoff batter Brandt Broussard reached base and scored on a pair of errors by the Texas A&M rightfielder. A&M 1, LSU 1.
B8 | With one out, Smith hit a first-pitch offering over the rightfield fence for the go-ahead home run. LSU 2, A&M 1. | 2019-04-22T10:10:20 | https://www.kbtx.com/content/sports/Aggies-lose-opener-at-LSU-2-1-508199351.html |
It’s easy to get lost in the clutter of social media. Unfortunately, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram don’t usually make the spring cleaning to-do list.
You don’t need to wait for warmer weather and longer days, though, to cleanse your feeds.
Masses of people have already emptied closets, cupboards, and storage spaces in the name of Marie Kondo, the Japanese organizing expert whose Netflix series Tidying Up with Marie Kondo launched a nation of domestic gods.
Now, using the same method of relinquishing objects that don’t “spark joy,” Julius Tarng launched Tokimeki Unfollow—a Twitter plug-in that expedites the scrubbing of your news feed.
Tarng, a former product designer at Facebook, introduced the service this week.
Pick up an item of clothing, for example. Look at it, hold it close, ponder its existence, and see if you get a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. If so, fold it neatly (Kondo can teach you how) and put it away. If not, thank it for its service, then place it gently in a pile to donate or discard.
Similarly, take a moment to look through The Muppets’ latest tweets, determine their importance to your daily life, and keep or unfollow.
“I’ve been working on this tool for three weeks and I still haven’t finished KonMari-ing my 1,000 initial follow” list, down to about 600 early this week, Tarng admitted.
Yes, you can scroll through the Twitter app to do the same thing. But there’s a certain urgency to Tokimeki Unfollow that helps drive the process and insists you cut the digital fat.
Over an agonizing 20 minutes, I chose to unfollow Emma Watson, Allison Janney, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Hillary Clinton, among other prominent accounts. Not because I don’t appreciate, respect, and enjoy these people. But because I know I tend to skim past their tweets on the rare occasions I actually look at Twitter.
In the end, I whittled my feed down from 146 follows to a svelte 90 (mostly family and friends to whom I feel an obligation).
Tokimeki Unfollow makes it easy to sit with someone’s tweets, hug them tight, then say thank you and goodbye.

TV execs truly won’t stop until every show is about a charismatic and possibly murderous con artist. Deadline is reporting that several networks are salivating at the thought of their very own prestige scam series. The Night Of’s Steve Zaillian is attached to write and direct a series based on Patricia Highsmith’s Tom Ripley character. Highsmith’s sociopathic protagonist featured in five of her books, but is best known today for the 1999 film The Talented Mr. Ripley. It was a star-making vehicle for Matt Damon, and was the first film where Jude Law co-starred with gay subtext. We wouldn’t have his “multifaceted” version of Dumbledore without that previous training, and one can only assume this new series will prove as fruitful a training ground. | 2019-04-18T16:57:36 | https://www.vulture.com/2019/03/steve-zaillian-is-making-a-tom-ripley-tv-series.html |

Democratic Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez compared the private health insurance market to “death panels” during a back-and-forth exchange on Twitter Sunday.
The tweet was in response to Jim Hanson, president of the Security Studies Group. The two had been exchanging barbs over government involvement in the U.S. health care system.
The phrase “death panels” was coined by former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin in 2009 to describe the rationing of government-run health care. The term was used to characterize former President Barack Obama’s health insurance reform plan.
Ocasio-Cortez, a self-described democratic socialist, repeated her calls Sunday for a “Medicare for all program, which would include a single-payer health care system.
This wasn’t the first eyebrow-raising comparison Ocasio-Cortez has made in recent time.
The democratic socialist — who won her New York congressional bid in an upset election over a powerful Democrat — on Friday compared her victory to the civil rights movement and the U.S. moon landing. Earlier in November, Ocasio-Cortez compared the caravan of Central American migrants attempting to enter the country illegally to Jews who fled the Holocaust. | 2019-04-24T00:01:35 | http://theminnesotasun.com/2018/12/03/ocasio-cortez-likens-private-health-insurance-to-death-panels/ |
Lisa Hengstler travels down the new “born learning” path with Kevin Casey (foreground) while Vickie Alves (far right) and Kailey Wright follow. The quartet came down to see the upgrades from Arc of Allen County.
LIMA — Sept. 7 may have been a dreary wet day, but that didn’t stop 300 volunteers from making substantial upgrades to the skate park just north of the Ottawa River on Collett Street.
“Mother Nature wasn’t kind to us, but I think that speaks to the commitment to the community,” Lima Parks and Rec Director Ric Stolly said.
During the mayor’s weekly press conference Wednesday, representatives from United Way of Greater Lima, Mercy Health-St. Rita’s Medical Center, the City of Lima and a number of other project sponsors showed off their efforts from early September by holding a ribbon cutting to celebrate the work.
Initiated by the Mercy Health-St Rita’s Medical Center and United Way of Greater Lima to celebrate their 100-year anniversaries, United Way President Carol Braden-Clarke said the skateboard park project picked up steam along the way as more and more individuals got involved.
By the time September rolled around, enough players were in place to make significant upgrades. Picnic tables and water fountains were added. The volleyball courts got a new sand. The skating ramps were repainted, and a long asphalt walkway, or “born learning” path, was installed.
Stolly said when the city got calls from the two organizations about wanting to make upgrades to the park, his department put other projects on hold.
“When they call, you know things are going to happen,” Stolly said.
Now, with the first round of upgrades finished, the city plans on expanding programming to make use of them. Adult volleyball leagues will now be hosted at the site this summer.
As for the future of the project, Braden-Clarke said there is a “Phase 2” in the works. Another “Day of Caring” has been scheduled for this spring so that any further upgrades to the park can be enjoyed by those taking advantage of summer’s warmer weather. | 2019-04-18T10:51:20 | https://www.limaohio.com/news/325071/ribbon-cutting-held-for-city-park-upgrades |

Bethenny’s wedding day is approaching and she has many details to take care of including attending her bridal shower hosted by fellow housewife Alex McCord. Panic sets in when Bethenny goes for her final wedding dress fitting and realizes it might be too small by the time she walks down the aisle. The stress is heightened by the fact that Jason doesn’t want to participate in the planning process and that Bethenny won’t have any of her own family members there on her big day. With the wedding just around the corner, it’s suddenly time for the rehearsal brunch. Amid all the stress, Bethenny puts on a brave face and manages to find some peace and enjoy the day with Jason and her friends. | 2019-04-25T04:51:26 | https://www.bravotv.com/bethenny-getting-married/season-1/let-me-eat-cake |
Because of the 1and1 incident from March all of my previous blog entries from the last four years were lost, including the one which announced the start of my Tube Steak Challenge, but that won’t prevent me from declaring that the challenge has come to an end.
The challenge started when Jenna showed me a video of a medical show. The doctor being interviewed was given a coupon for a hot dog in the cafeteria and said something to the extent that he is only given one coupon a week.
I wondered if 52 hot dogs, one a week, was a lot or not. Jenna asked how many I ate in a year, and without having a good answer I decided to start counting. The challenge was announced in August but I included my July hot dog count since it was fresh in my memory, and so began my journey.
A majority of my hot dogs were on the BBQ, there was an unhealthy amount cooked over an open fire and even some from Mexico. I am proud to say that I never consumed a microwaved hot dog during the last twelve months.
There you have it, hot dog number fifty one and fifty two. Not pictured was the fifty third hot dog, which means I will continue to count my hot dog consumption until July 1 and then begin counting for another year.
Can I repeat my efforts in the last twelve months again in 2010? | 2019-04-19T06:47:53 | http://blog.seangursky.com/2009/06/my-yearly-challenge |

Welcome to the first of my 'story' pages. Although the very early visitors to my fledgling site will have seen these shots before, it seemed logical for me to start with the year that saw my own Le Mans initiation.
"Just stop for a minute everybody, and take a look around you and sniff the air, and just have a feel of this place. It is fantastic isn't it? Particularly now as the lights are down, and night's coming on, and it is just the most wonderful atmosphere in the world. I don't think I would rather be anywhere else, and you can keep Canada, that's for sure!"
"I'll tell you where I would like to be, and that's on the outside of this studio, 'cos I haven't actually seen a car with it's wheels turning so far. But, apart from that, I mean, even sitting in this little white box in the paddock, it's seeping in through the walls, it really is tremendous. There's just nothing else like it, is there?"
The above quote is actually a bit of a cheat, because I took it from the 1988 "Radio Le Mans" video. But if it is a cheat, it's a damn good one as it somehow seems to me to sum up the way that so many of us feel about the Le Mans 24 Hours, why the annual fix of the Le Mans drug is so important.
So how did I come to make that first visit? I had known Ian, our "Tourist-in-Chief" for some years through work. He was by then already a seasoned Le Mans campaigner and it was his invite that set the ball rolling.
There were 7 of us in the 1986 Le Mans team - see above Ian, Robert (sadly no longer with us), Bruce, John M, John B and on the far right, Alan.
We travelled over to Cherbourg from Portsmouth (yes, I'm a "Hampshire Hog!"), staying at a small roadside auberge, Le Relais du Bois Leger near St. Symphorien des Monts on the Friday night. At the time I was still single, living a rather lonely and frugal existence, and the sudden exposure to the gastronomic delights of La Belle France, together with gallons of vin was quite an experience, I can tell you! On Saturday morning we made our way to the circuit, arriving, I guess, at about 1.00 p.m.
Of course, the big attraction in '86 was the return of the works Jaguar team and, having seen a Jaguar win at Silverstone only a few weeks before, I was certainly rooting for them, like all the other Brits at the race.
For anyone who has never been to Le Circuit Permanent de la Sarthe, the sights, sounds and smells as you arrive at the circuit and wander around the tribunes and general spectator areas are really something else, from the dodgy-looking fairground rides and stalls, to the frites and the merguez (which I learned to love on my very first trip!), washed down with countless little green bottles of beer, or, if you prefer, a glass (or bottle) or two of champagne!
When it came to the race itself, sadly, the Jaguars didn't last the distance, and the race was overshadowed by the untimely death of Austrian Jo Gartner, who went off the road on the Mulsanne Straight in the early hours of Sunday morning, after what was suspected to be a gearbox failure.
It made the picture I took of Gartner and Hans Heyer in the driver parade all the more poignant, and made me think back to watching Gartner win the Interserie race at Thruxton in a Porsche, only a matter of a few weeks before.
But it was the Porsche of Derek Bell, the late Al Holbert and Hans Stuck which took the spoils, providing Derek with his fourth win in the race.
But for me, my lasting impression of Le Mans was very definitely the night. This was my first experience of racing at night, and I was totally enthralled by it - and have been ever since. I was lucky enough to make my first visit to Le Mans with Ian, who already knew the back roads around and about the circuit like the back of his hand, so I had the unmissable opportunity of watching Jaguars, Porsches et al thundering past Le Restaurant de 24 Heures on the Mulsanne Straight in the middle of the night.
To anyone who has never been to Le Mans before (or if you have but have never done it), if you do nothing else during the race, get yourself out onto the Mulsanne. I know the straight has been ruined for ever by "those poxy chicanes" (as they were once described by James Weaver!), but it is still one of those essential Le Mans experiences, in my opinion.
For me, the night at Le Mans is the ultimate motor racing experience, and one which I am not prepared to miss. Not a problem in 1986, as we kipped at the circuit in tents and under cars, but my arrangements for it changed somewhat in the later years, when some of the Tourists found the lure of a hotel bed simply too much!
There we are then, just a few thoughts about my Le Mans "baptism" and a few pictures to keep you going!

The richest athlete in the history of women’s sport was suspended last year for failing a drug test putting her lucrative tennis career on the line.
Maria Sharapova recently returned to play after serving a 15-month suspension for using the banned substance meldonium. Meldonium was banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) just a few months prior to Sharapova’s positive test. The drug was banned after finding that the drug could potentially increase exercise capacity and tolerance.
How is the sport affected?
What to make of all this? Well, you can be sure that people in the future will use the “didn’t know” or “didn’t hear” defense when found taking a banned substance, whether the argument is legitimate or not. To guard against such defenses, governing bodies may need to broadcast any list changes more clearly on multiple channels. They may need to make clearer some common alternative names for a banned substance (within reason, of course, since drugs may have many, many different names).
Know what’s in your body.
At the same time, athletes need to be careful about and keep track of what goes into their bodies. Asking the International Tennis Federation (ITF) to monitor what each player on the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) tour is taking and then give her a gentle warning about anything possibly suspicious or banned is just not realistic. The WTA includes hundreds of players across numerous countries. Following each closely would be logistically challenging.
Your doctor doesn’t even know what you are taking unless you tell him or her. This is especially true for patients taking supplements or other substances offered by alternative health providers that don’t follow Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines. Such items may have ingredients and substances that could affect your health without your realizing it.
You could be end up regretting not fully knowing or understanding what is going into your body. | 2019-04-25T04:11:03 | https://allmeleague.com/2017/05/12/maria-sharapova-suspended-after-failing-drug-test/ |
The head of a life insurer says she is not "wedded" to the commission model but is also not convinced that cutting commissions will stamp out bad behaviour in the industry — a view at odds with that of regulators.
Naomi Ballantyne, chief executive of Partners Life, said the insurer was working on its response to the conduct and culture report on the life insurance industry released by the Financial Markets Authority and the Reserve Bank in late January.
Insurers have until the end of June to respond to individual recommendations made by the regulators.
The report painted the industry in a poor light and found life insurers had been complacent over conduct risk, too slow to make changes after previous FMA reviews and lacking focus on good customer outcomes.
Commissions came under particular focus, with a Reserve Bank table showing the commissions paid by Kiwi life insurance companies to advisers were the highest in the developed world, making up 20.4 per cent of gross premium revenue.
Regulators have recommended insurers review their commission structures and volume bonuses for financial advisers to ensure they are "incentivising intermediaries to deliver good customer outcomes".
"In our view, high upfront commissions are not acceptable as they drive poor conduct and can result in poor customer outcomes."
But Ballantyne has questioned the drive to cut commissions.
"I don't believe that just reducing upfront commissions and service commissions will fix the problems that have been identified.
"How do we know other models don't have other problems?"
She said her company was looking into what remuneration an adviser required to remain in business. "We want advisers to stay in business."
Advisers are vital to the Partners Life model as it does not sell direct to the public. Ballantyne said it was looking closely at Australia, where commissions have been capped, and other places abroad as well as digging into New Zealand adviser businesses.
She said paying a commission was being seen as an issue because it was a tool that could change the behaviour of advisers but Ballantyne believed new legislation — the Financial Services Legislation Amendment Bill, should be given a chance first.
The legislation would make it compulsory for all advisers to disclose commissions — at the moment only authorised financial advisers have to.
"I think it is a good piece of legislation. I would like to see it put in place and the outcomes monitored while we all get under the hood because it is complex, not simple."
Partners Life is starting a multimillion-dollar direct to the public advertising campaign which is the first in its seven-year history.
Ballantyne said the campaign was aimed at educating the public on the need for life insurance and growing the market as a whole rather than driving business to her company.
Industry figures show the market has stagnated since 2012.
Ballantyne said the campaign, 15 months in the works, wasn't designed as a counter measure to the recent negative publicity about the industry. "This is our timing."
But she said the company had discussed whether the timing was a good idea. "We had a big internal debate. Are we putting our head and shoulders above the parapet?"
But she said because the campaign was not selling insurance the company felt it was okay. "Because it is not direct marketing ... it fits in with what regulators want to see — more education and awareness."
Ballantyne said there was a public perception that ACC or the Government would be there at times of need.
"When you have got people thinking that and no one wants to pay for insurance — then it's an excuse not to think about it."
She said advisers also tended to target people aged 35 to 45 who owned their own home or business but didn't target the wider market.
Banks had picked up some of those overlooked people, but "we need both advisers to change their view of who are good customers and get customers to change", she said. "This is not going to happen in the short-term. But we are starting the conversation." | 2019-04-25T18:52:09 | https://www.partnerslife.co.nz/news-and-views/new-blog-life-insurance-boss-rebuffs-regulators-says-cutting-commissions-wont-fix-adviser-problems-post/ |

After beating Virginia for the 14th-straight year in a 10-0 shutout, Virginia Tech rose in both the AP and Coaches Polls. Tonight, the Hokies also jumped in the College Football Playoff’s second-to-last rankings as expected.
Virginia Tech jumped three spots from 25th to 22nd in this week’s playoff rankings. The Hokies are the third highest ranked ACC team behind #1 Clemson and #7 Miami with NC State behind them ranked 24th while Notre Dame, a program of great interest to the Hokies’ bowl destination possibilities, came in 15th after their loss to Stanford.
The jump isn’t a surprise for the Hokies after taking care of their business last week at UVA while other schools around them were unable to get a win. With Clemson and Miami being the only above .500 ACC schools still with any games remaining, the Hokies have solidified their spot as the third-highest ranked ACC team in the poll.
With Virginia Tech being third in the poll among ACC schools, they do have a remote shot at receiving the ACC’s bid to the Orange Bowl. The only plausible scenario that I see where this could happen is if Miami beats Clemson in the ACC Championship, TCU beats Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship, Auburn beats Georgia in the SEC Championship, and Ohio State beats Wisconsin in the B1G (Big 10) Championship.
In this scenario; Auburn and Miami would be headed to the playoff while an 11-2 Clemson, 11-2 Oklahoma, 11-2 Ohio State, and 11-1 Alabama would take the final two spots (TCU being ranked 11th takes them out of the picture). In this scenario, it’s hard not to see Clemson being chosen over Oklahoma and Alabama given their win over Auburn and their stronger resume. While Ohio State would have a conference title, Oklahoma may push them down the totem pole because of their head-to-head win.
However, this is all far from certain so if you’re a Hokie fan, don’t expect to be making a trip to South Beach this bowl season.
The ranking that may affect the Hokies more is Notre Dame coming in at 15th. With Notre Dame dropping that far this week, it’s almost impossible to imagine the Fighting Irish climbing back into the top 10 and to a New Year’s Six bowl game. That means that the Fighting Irish will be a part of the ACC’s bowl pool for all non-New Year’s Six bowls and will almost certainly be the first team selected.
Because of that, you can throw out the possibility of VT in the Citrus Bowl. This also makes the Camping World Bowl more precarious as Notre Dame would take that spot if the Citrus Bowl took a B1G team instead of an ACC team. This scenario would happen if a SEC team received a spot in the Orange Bowl over a B1G team, something that is almost certain to happen if Wisconsin wins the B1G Championship and likely would still happen even if Ohio State wins it.
At this point, Virginia Tech’s most likely bowl destination is the TaxSlayer Bowl in Jacksonville with the runner-up being the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium.
Tonight’s rankings have given us a clearer picture as to where the Hokies will finish their regular season and for Hokie fans wanting to go to Orlando, that’s likely out of the picture. | 2019-04-23T08:10:42 | https://techlunchpail.com/2017/11/28/virginia-tech-22nd-playoff-rankings/ |

I have arthritis and Fibromyalgia so using tools and gripping something can be difficult.Also have chemical sensitivity. Yes...I'm a hot mess LOL! Love, love, love Hometalk!
I feel your pain ,I have that and a then some. Try using Citristrip a safe non-toxic paint remover.
I can feel for you. Both my ex and daughter have Fibromyalgia and other maladies contributed to it. You don't need to strip or sand off the finish if you plan to paint. You can use a kitchen scrubbie just to remove any gloss and roughen the surface for paint.

BULGARIAN SCHOOL of SEATTLE was established in May 2011. The Bulgarian Cultural Club in Seattle, or also known as the Bulgarian School of Seattle, is a non-for-profit organization, registered in the State of Washington (UBI # 603117729) with its main purpose: to serve useful educational activity among Bulgarian Community in the Greater Seattle Area.
Bulgarian School of Seattle is offering paid education in: Bulgarian Language, Bulgarian History, and Bulgarian Geography for children age 4 to 18, and for adults. The school is open for all heritage language (HL) children, permanently or temporary living in Seattle, as well as for people with different nationality, interested in learning the language. Regardless the stage of knowledge, students get the opportunity to fully develop language skills and knowledge to better understand the Bulgarian culture, behavior and tradition. The heritage language education follows the standards of the Ministry of Education in Bulgaria in accordance with their curriculum. Teachers are professionally trained and certified with long lasting teaching experience. The main purpose is to form individuals who carry the customs of two civilizations, but knowing where their roots are.
In a very short amount of time the school became very popular among the Bulgarian society in Seattle. In a sense, the Bulgarian School of Seattle appears to be one large family, using the Bulgarian language and culture as a common parent. | 2019-04-23T12:11:59 | http://bulgarianschoolofseattle.com/history/ |
We got a sneak peek of the new airport at Devanhalli last Sunday.
Did you know that the opening date of the airport is 31st March midnight, 2008? That was what René of the Zurich Airport team tells us as we huddle together at the new terminal building asking questions about whether it’s really going to be ready on time!
At first sight, it doesn’t seem like it is going to be ready in a couple of months. But apparently, this is how an airport usually looks before it opens so we have to believe the expert here. The approach road to the airport is being done as of now and about half of it is cemented. The rest is still a kaccha trail.
Inside the airport area, we are a little surprised by the size of the terminal! Considering, we’ll be travelling around 3-4 hours (in peak time) to reach the airport, it does seem smaller than expected. The terminal, says René was built according to the 2005 projections (the airport itself was mooted in 1998!). So in the meanwhile, as air traffic has grown exponentially, the volumes that were initially projected are obviously not to the mark. But expansion plans are also in order already.
The arrival/departure lounge is going to be common for domestic and international travellers. We went around the different levels of the terminal. We saw around 7-8 luggage conveyor belts – considering there’s one currently in the airport – it’s quite an improvement!
Anyway, here are the pictures. I’m sure we’ll get to hear and see more of the airport in the next couple of months.
How we will travel to this new airport, is another discussion all together!
It does seem like one small and really ugly airport. Those of us who were waiting for an airport that we can be proud of are going to be very disappointed.
One should see the plan of the hong-kong airport.
First impression: Disappointingly small and ugly!
This does not look the kind of airport we should be upgrading to. This looks like the kind of airport we should be upgrading from. It looks like what the Bangalore airport should have been in decades past. It does not look like what it should be in the future! Again, W-T-F!
Why all the negativity.. I’m usually the first to get frustrated with Bangalore, but this is definitely a step up.
It probably even has baggage belts that work.
And maybe an ATM and an information desk.
What more could you want? Clean bathrooms? Wifi? How about more than one one-person-wide door to get in? Nah…. That’s what the airport in 2050 is for.
What we’ve seen in the pics is the building shell with the embellishments sure to follow. What the heck, perhaps it *is* a comparitively dowdy looking airport. So what? Having a fully functional airport would be better than to have a hi-tech, futuristic one with nothing working. This is India so lets be a little down to earth, folks…no pun intended, of course!
Let’s wait to see the outcome isnt it?
India can do better than this. Way better. What you should be asking yourselves is has half the budget gone in bribes? and this is the result?
I have visited Bangalore for the last 10 years, we have a family home 15 mins from this new airport and I’m upset that this is the result from what was to be a very exciting project.
“René of the Zurich Airport team tells us…” This means you went inside the airport and talked to a person called Renee for information.
Then, what is the point in writing “sneak peek”.
1 sneak into/out/around, etc to go somewhere quietly because you do not want anyone to hear you. I sneaked into his bedroom while he was asleep.
We tried to sneak the dog into the hotel.
3 sneak a look/glance at sb/sth to look at someone or something quickly and secretly. I sneaked a look at the answers.
“sneak preview noun [C] an opportunity to see (a part of) something new before the rest of the public see it.
Why are you murdering English?
Too much! Come on Mr Kumar! Have you seen the TV channels using the term Breaking News for the most insignificant items? I am sure the author(s) of this article wanted to add a little mischief into the title rather than give a straightforward boring one. Or maybe you are just used to plain boring newspapers like the Hindu who tread the safe line with English.
Coming to the Airport, at first glance, it does look rather disappointing but I would rather wait till the complete thing is over before screaming out.
We do need futuristic airports considering the way our numbers and the rate at which our economy is growing. We also need better transport to get us to this airport. Nowhere in the world have I heard people traveling three hours from the capital to get to their nearest airport.
No one should normally comment on the product when it is still going on!! The seed for this was sown about two decades ago, and now when we look at it and find it is only 77 days more to go we should wait and see why it took this long, and is the final product worth the wait!!
English is not our first language. So when we use it, we should be careful.
My comment was about the mismatch between the headline and the post.
In case you want more, we have been discussing BIAL almost no end: here.
Seriously, how far apart are the Bangalore and Hyd airports?
You have to have a really serious reason to fly to Chennai, or even Hubli etc – the road trip’s pretty quick and nice, and no aiport tax + fuel surcharge + blah to pay. The tolls are much cheaper.
No Kidding! I am supposed to travel to this airport in June and then travel on to Mysore. Sheesh. It will take more than the 3 hours it is taking right now!
Hey, am worried. This is just the international airport right? Not the domestic airport? Anita your comment about arrival and depature longue being common for domestic/international travellers has had me worried. I thought HAL would continue as the domestic terminal. Please clarify soon.
2.How many immigration and custom counters?
3.How the green channel will function if both domestic and international travellers will be bunched together.
4.Rene seems to make a typical Indian bureacratic track that it is conceived in 1990,planned for 2005 and opening in 2008!!!He can fall back on this excuse to his finaciars.
5.These fellows wanted the present one to close down. Has the Jeppsen and ADIZ and other navigational problems sorted out with director genral of civil aviation.Has new Alpha and Delta routes made and approval of ICAO obtained?
6.Has the CISF which provides security has the necessary manpower recruited and trained for this airport?
7.What are the types of the ILS,VOR,NDB installed and their category?
8.what about airport,route survelliance radar?
I hope anitha will take me with her for the next survey or someone who has flown or used airports as a pilot or navigator.
HAL airport would be closed down when this airport is open..And I am really waiting for that to see if it reduces any traffic on current airport road and help my daily commute..
This is one of the worst airport. How 8 aero bridges sufficient for both domestic & international operation. It has only 6 conveyer belts? (How many for domestic/intl).
even your semi-constructed house will look as UGLY. It would be wise to wait for the completion & open up with your comments.
@ jagannath: i wouldn’t say ugly. it’s still under construction!
@ Job: not sure about these exact logistics but i guess it will be revealed closer to the opening date.
@ LL: Despair not, it’s not as bad as it looks. It’s still under the construction stage!
@ santa: I don’t think the design is the problem. The size might be considering we have more than 11 million passengers to handle.
@ anjana: that’s the spirit!
@ andrew: i think you should take another look when it’s closer to completion. it’s really hard to tell as of now!
@ Walter Solbchak: connectivity woes is going to be a pain point!
and yes, it’s going to be a nightmare to travel for more than 3 hours to catch a flight to say a place like chennai! futuristic airports are definitey what we need but we need leaders who have futuristic visions for that.
@ sethuraman: yes, i think the judgement should wait till it’s opened!
@ lubna: this is both the domestic and international airport. the arrival departure lounge will be the same, we were told!
@ venkat: let’s wait to crib about facilities till it opens!
@ captainjohann: i actually went for a run and did my best after it was over and we went for a small tour. i did not go as a journalist and all these questions would have taken a few hours for him to answer! and i’m not an airport specialist either. so i suggest someone better equipped can go ask those questions!
@ rdmblr: that’s what we were told.
@ nag: hey, maybe not! let’s wait for it to open. it has more than 6, that’s what i saw where i went.
@ atthu: that would be a good idea! | 2019-04-22T08:31:26 | http://bangalore.metblogs.com/2008/01/17/new-bangalore-airport-at-devanhalli-sneak-peek/ |
In October, the 35th Georgia was ordered to Evansport, Virginia, where it was placed under the command of Major General Theophilus Hunter Holmes. Along with the 22nd North Carolina, 2nd Tennessee, 47th Virginia, Fredericksburg Artillery, Maryland Flying Artillery, Caroline Light Dragoons and Stafford Rangers, these units made up Brigadier General Samuel Gibbs French's brigade. Here the regiment went into camp, and guarded the batteries of heavy guns established to blockade the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay below Washington. Occasionally harassed by Union ships out of Chesapeake Bay firing into their position, life in the Aquia District was mostly tedious for the regiment, and the men spent their time drilling and on picket duty. On November 1st, the Union Army placed artillery across the Potomac, and began to bombard the Confederate forces. Later that month, the Campbell County Ranger's (now Company C of the 35th Georgia) would loose their first man, killed in battle (presumably by Union artillery). Private Zebulon L Howard died November 27th, 1861. On December 30th, French complained to Richmond the 250 privates of the 35th Georgia, the 471 privates of the 22nd North Carolina and 42 privates from the Arkansas Battalion were the only troops he had to guard the batteries.
The winter of 61-62 was deadly for the Confederate forces in northern Virginia, but not because of battle casualties. Measles especially struck the newly formed Army and spread quickly, leaving many dead in its wake. Soldiers, having grown up on isolated farms all their lives, with a lower immune system to many of society's germs, were especially susceptible to this, and other disease's. In January of 1862, Secretary of War J. P. Benjamin wrote to Brig Gen Holmes advising he could not afford to withdraw the 35th, "but humanity requires that I should try some way to prevent suffering and mortality among these troops just called from a southern clime and weakened by disease". He requested Holmes to lighten the 35th's duty as much as possible to give them a chance to recover.
In March of 62, the entire brigade presented itself in parade to General Joseph Eggleston Johnston, then commander of the Confederate Army in the East. Impressed, Johnston awarded the 35th Georgia new uniform's as the best drilled regiment on general review.
The war had been fairly quiet in the East during the prior month's. After being embarrassed at Bull Run (Manassas) in July of 1861, Lincoln had replaced Gen Irwin McDowell with General George Brinton McClellan, who was now in command the Union Army of the Potomac. McClellan had spent most of the winter building his new Army. But in March, he made his move.
Landing his forces at Newport, Virginia, his army quickly moved up the peninsula. The 35th was put in a new brigade under the command of newly appointed Brig General James Johnston Pettigrew. The brigade would include Pettigrew's own 22nd North Carolinian's, the 47th Virginia, the 2nd Arkansas Battalion, the 35th Georgia, and Andrews 1st Maryland Artillery.
Falling back, General Johnston massed his troops east of Richmond, placing his army between Richmond and McClellan's Army. Within two months of landing on Virginia soil, McClellan's forces looked down on the heights upon the capital of the Confederacy. Instead of taking advantage of the situation, McClellan halted his forward movement, and for weeks the two armies stared at one another. | 2019-04-19T14:48:04 | http://www.chrisanddavid.com/georgia/Virginia.html |

We were a little tired from the previous two days of walking, so Beinn a'Ghlo provided the right sort of length of walk for us. We were a little anxious about getting in the way of deer stalking going on in the area, but it seemed that going through the danger areas early before the stalkers got there was a good idea and in fact we didn't see anything of them for the whole day.
Carn nan Gabhar from the south ridge.
We walked round the east of Carn Liath, aiming for the highest peak first (which is always good phsychologically). Latterly this involved a steep climb up the nasal scar of Carn nan Gabhar's subsidiary top. Soon we were ambling across the rocks to the main summit from where we could see the whole of the northern Cairngorms stretched out before us. With only a little high cloud, the views were spectacular and the ridge itself was of a most elegant nature. Successive 200m reascents brought us to the other two summits on the ridge, both just as impressive in terms of panorama. It was only on the descent of Carn Liath that the promised showers hit us, but they weren't particularly inhibiting. The 5hr30 round trip comes highly recommended.

The '50 Cent' trader who bets on market volatility says a financial 'earthquake' is coming. "We are confident that the earthquake will happen, more confident than we have been that it will happen in months, not years," Jonathan Ruffer, the cofounder of Ruffer LLP, the firm behind a series of trades last year betting on a rise in market volatility via the purchase of 50-cent options contracts, said in a quarterly investment note to clients.
The world has never been in this much debt. Global debt levels rose by $21 trillion last year to $237 trillion, the highest level on record, according to the Institute of International Finance.
The Russian ruble is on track for its worst week since 1999. The ruble has tumbled more than 10% versus the dollar this week after the Trump administration on Friday imposed new sanctions on 24 wealthy Russians and government officials as well as over a dozen Russian-controlled entities.
Chinese inflation comes up short. Consumer prices in China fell 1.1% month-over-month in March, missing the 0.5% decline that economists were anticipating. The data was most likely distorted by temporary factors related to the Lunar New Year.

Brilliant Black Quartzite is a versatile stone that can be used both indoors (in kitchens and bathrooms) and outdoors (in paving patios and gardens). Quartzite is a product of sandstone, and is found in various colors that range from gray to white. It is so strong, that it is often used in construction of walls and floors, and is commonly used as railroad track ballast. It is also a popular choice in home decoration because of its natural beauty. Brilliant Black Quartzite is known for its ability to add both beauty and functionality to the inside or outside of a home. | 2019-04-21T08:33:21 | https://stonegalleryno.com/brilliant-black-quartzite |
Building off the continued success and growth of the United Soccer League, USL announced the launch of a new league-wide licensing program. Through licensing, the League will work to further engage its fan base by introducing more licensed Club products during the upcoming season.
The league has tapped former Major League Soccer (MLS) and Starter licensing veteran Stu Crystal to lead the initiative.
The plan will also include USL Division III clubs and will initially focus on categories such as apparel, novelties, accessories and more.
“As part of our continued growth, demand for club licensed products has increased significantly – doubling over the past two years,” said USL President Jake Edwards.
“Through this new initiative, we hope to create opportunities to identify and partner with the best licensees to deliver first-class products to our clubs’ fans across the country. We have already seen success in our partnership with Select as the official ball of the USL, and we look forward to Stu’s leadership in this important growth area for the league,” Edwards stated further.
The new program will look to streamline licenses for independent clubs to leverage opportunities of scale and deliver quality products for fans in each of the league’s markets.
“Interest in the program from the clubs and potential licensees thus far has been outstanding and speaks to the continued growth of the USL,” said Crystal, head of the Crystal Agency.
Crystal has spent the past 25 years in the licensing and marketing business for several major sports entities, including 12 years at MLS where he oversaw the league’s licensing program, including its first single supplier agreement with Adidas.
Crystal has also represented iconic athletes such as LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretzky for licensing programs through Upper Deck, as well as several prominent international soccer clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Real Madrid partnering with Edge Sports. | 2019-04-22T00:29:33 | http://www.licensingcorner.com/sports/sports-licensing/united-soccer-league-launches-new-licensing-program/ |
Two strangers Syaoran and Sakura appear at Yuku’s shop desperate for help. Wantanuki is still being forced to work for Yuko, doing all her cooking and cleaning as well as being dragged off on mysterious errands around town.
Volume 2 of xxxHolic starts off with a direct cross over scene from Tsubasa Chronicles, and sees the arrival of Sakura and Syaoran. Since this is xxxHolic though the scene this time focuses on Wantanuki’s reactions and thoughts as he meets them for the first time. Whilst this chapter will be poignant for readers of Tsubasa, in terms of xxxHolic it feels like more of an interlude. It also serves to explain the presence of the mascot characters the Modaka’s. Each of the rabbit like creatures is present in each series allowing each group to communicate and send items to each other.
The rest of the volume focuses directly on Wantanuki’s story. After coming to the shop in a state of pure joy after Himawari tells Wanatanuki that their horoscopes are compatible Yuki decides what Wantanuki really needs is to have his fortune told by a competent professional. Whilst a lot of the chapter focuses on comedy there are some maddening hints about Wantanuki’s fate as well as the roles other characters have to play in it. In the final story of the volume Yuki forces Wantanuki to invite Himawari and his rival Domeki to a ghost story night. This turns out to be a major turning point in the series as it sees all the leading characters gathered together officially for the fist time.
xxxHolic is extremely engrossing whilst Wantanuki’s problems provide a strong backbone for the series, Yuko’s dominating personality really drives the story. On the surface xxxHolic appears to be another supernatural horror adventure like Ghost Hunt, but it’s much cleverer mixing one off supernatural encounters with a greater plot line. The quality of storytelling is high and extremely consistent and to be honest xxxHolic strikes me as something a little bit special, whilst I enjoy Tsubasa I can’t quite say the same about it. | 2019-04-24T04:38:44 | http://otakunews.com/Manga/131/xxxholic-volume-2 |
After a few years of living in a home, it demands maintenance and renovation but being able to keep money aside for doing so is always a challenge. Even if you purchase the raw material on credit, you still need to consolidate the debt sooner or later. This is possible by taking a loan against property for debt consolidation.
The best part about taking a loan against property in India is that the lending companies allow you to use it in any which way you want. It includes utilising the Loan Against Property for Debt Consolidation after renovating the home.
To give you an overall idea of various benefits that you can receive by using a loan against property for debt consolidation and renovation, here is a small list that I have created.
There are two ways used for calculating the interest when you are trying to take a low Loan Against Property Interest Rates for debt consolidation or renovation. One is flexible whereas the other one is floating. The benefit lies in the fact that the financing organisation allows you to choose out of both the options.
It may not give you a chance to decide the EMI amount for your loan against property tenor. But will undoubtedly make you familiar with the entire interest calculation process so that you make an informed selection.
Another benefit of utilising a loan against property for debt consolidation and renovation is that you can apply for it online. It saves you the hassle of visiting the bank or financing agency and also adds convenience to the process.
Besides, you can even find all the loan against property eligibility criteria on the website itself. That gives you time to read through them carefully without skipping any vital information. In my opinion, reading the fine print of the contract is the most crucial part of taking a loan.
Different types of loan against property for debt consolidation, have different coverage policies. That is why choosing the one which suits your requirement is a must. For example, credit taken from one bank might cover the entire cost of the renovation.
Whereas, the same loan availed through another financing organisation might cover only parts of the renovation expense. However, the second option still covers up to 90% off the costs most of the time. It means you need to select the financing options according to the coverage you desire.
Renovating a home is a long process, and it usually stretched out for months. For this reason, people like to opt for different fund acquiring arrangements. But to be able to choose out of different payment schemes you should first make sure that your financing agency offers various loan against property features.
The two most common type of funding formats used in the case of a loan against property for debt consolidation is lump-sum and regular instalments. If you are already finished with the home renovation process then opt for the first option otherwise the second is preferable.
As Indians, we all are used to receiving extra perks with every service that we purchase. The same is the case with a loan against property for debt consolidation. A lot of financing agencies provide you with a free credit card or less burden of a loan against property documents required.
It simplifies the need for doing elaborate paperwork while allowing you to enjoy the same benefits. Besides, another bonus of this financing service is that you do not need to have a prior relationship with the organisation. | 2019-04-18T22:42:53 | http://www.articleevent.com/ease-your-home-renovation-debt-with-loan-against-property/ |

Nvidia 980 TI won't accept the offset.
For some reason the 980 card won't OC like the rest of the rig. Even at +100. I had to down grade from 13 cards to 12 for power issues so i pulled two cards for my main system and swapped in the 980. Running on Ubuntu. Anyone have any ideas?
Can you attach the URL provided by the helpme command? This will give us more information on your rig overall.
The 1070's are a minimum power of 100w and the 980ti is default 150w minimum but is only drawing 130w. Is there a way to change the minimum value on the card or would doing so even fix the issue?
Thanks, for letting us know. Same thing with the 980ti. Unfortunately, gputool asks the driver to set the setting, and the driver is not doing it. Newer drivers did not help. So, it may not be possible to set those particular settings for that particular GPU. We are not able to ask the GPU or the drivers to do things they are not able to do - but hopefully some of the settings do work for you. Best Wishes! | 2019-04-25T08:13:46 | https://forum.getpimp.org/topic/3686/nvidia-980-ti-won-t-accept-the-offset |
Hurricane Ike was located near 25.3 north, 88.0 west or about 575 miles east of Brownsville, Texas and 270 miles from the mouth of the Mississippi River.
Ike is traveling west-northwest at 10 mph with maximum sustained winds of 100 mph. Ike is a very large Category 2 hurricane.
The minimum centralizeed pressure is 946 mb, or 27.94 inches.
Hurricane-force winds extend 115 miles outward from Ike’s center. Tropical storm-force winds extend outward up to 255 miles.
A tropical storm warning is in effect from the Mississippi-Alabama border westward to Cameron, La.
A hurricane watch remains in effect from Cameron westward to Port Mansfield, Texas.
The circulation of Ike is so large that it is already causing water levels to rise 1-3 feet across the entire Gulf of Mexico coast from south Florida to Texas. Parts of southern Louisiana will see a 3-5 foot water rise with tropical storm conditions Thursday. 2-4 inches of rain can be expected along the immediate coastline of Louisiana today, along with isolated weak tornadoes right along the coast.
Ike is still being steered by a strong upper-level high that extends across the northern Gulf of Mexico and the Deep South of the United States. This ridge should remain in place through Friday and keep Ike on a west to west-northwest course through Thursday. Conditions will be favorable for intensification over the next 24-36 hours as water temperatures along Ike’s projected track are at least 82 degrees and wind shear remains relatively weak. Ike is a large hurricane with a small central core and strong winds extend far away from the eye. Ike’s surface remains very low for a Category 2 hurricane. This is due to the fact Ike is a very large storm with energy spread out over a huge distance. But, more energy will focus near the center Thursday. Once this happens then Ike should increase to Category 3 strength, perhaps as early as Thursday afternoon.
Our forecast is for Ike to remain a major hurricane when making landfall along the Texas coast during the early morning hours Saturday. There is some chance for Ike to become a Category 4 hurricane; however, environmental conditions may become a little more unfavorable by Friday. The recent slower speed of Ike means there is a better chance for it to take a further north track, brining the center closer to Galveston. The best estimate right now is for landfall somewhere between Matagorda Bay and Galveston, Texas. But, a devastating storm surge is expected for more than 100 miles east of landfall. One should not focus on an exact landfall location at this time and all interests along the western Gulf Coast should monitor the progress of Ike closely.

Technically speaking, it is 50% GPA, 50% interview. GPA is given a score out of 4 and interview is also given a score out of 4. Interview: Interviews are given a discrete score from 1-4. The exact intervals (e.g 3, 3.5, 4.0) are not publically disclosed. This means your interview score is placed in a “bin”. So you can be in the 3.0 bin or 3.5 bin or 4.0 bin for example (we don’t know if it progresses in 0.5 intervals, that was just for illustration purposes). GPA: The GPA range for interviewed applicants is around 3.8-4.0. GPA only makes a difference for people in your same interview bin because a 3.8 GPA with 4.0 interview score (7.8 total) beats a 4.0 GPA with 3.5 interview score (7.5 total) which beats a 3.9 GPA with 3.5 interview score (7.4 total). Therefore, interview is the main determinant of whether you get in, and GPA is used as a tie breaker for people who have the same interview score as you. Does that answer your question?
Nothing wrong with having an idea of what type of medicine you want to pursue based on your personal interests. However, you can add a little bit of maturity to your answer by saying something along the lines of “that being said, my preferences may change during medical school where I will have more exposure to various medical specialities and will be able to make a more informed decision”.
How does U of T scoring works after interview?
Post-interview scoring: 50% file score (pre-interview), 50% interview. Source: 2018 U of T Applicant Recap Session posted on their website. Not sure about the grad student question. What we do know is that many grad students are admitted to U of T so they probably do not have 'lower file scores'.

Earlier this Fall, in a town in Mexico, WhatsApp messages started to fly around the community from an unknown source.
“some of these kids have been found dead with signs that their organs were removed. Their abdomens had been cut open and were empty."
The messages spread rapidly and it wasn’t long before new messages started to come in that there was an arrest. Suspects were in custody at the police station.
At a certain point the guards could not contain the crowd that rapidly formed. They broke into the police station, retrieved the suspects, then beat them. The suspects were then covered in petrol and burned alive. More than twenty smartphones from the crowd streamed the event to Facebook Live.
The town would soon discover that the WhatsApp messages were a hoax and both the suspects were innocent. Instead of kidnappers they were Alberto Flores, a 43 year old farmer and Ricardo Flores, a 21 year old studying law.
Facebook has two billion active users. You can make the case that this is the kind of event that just happens when you reach it’s scale but it’s an answer that falls flatter every time it’s used.
In the past two years the coalition of people and groups furious with the company has expanded. The governments of Europe! Republicans in DC! Democrats in DC! NYC journalists! All groups have been hit with specific events that have been seared into their conscious.
There’s no doubt that increased pressure is coming. Antitrust, regulation, country by country bans, all are on the table. It’s deserved but I also can’t help but think that a swelling tide to break apart the company misses the darker point.
The questions raised by the platforms aren’t temporary or a short lived quirk in our history. The core inventions of Facebook–an interest graph newsfeed, an open marketplace for highly targeted ads, accessible end to end message encryption—are what matter. If Facebook were to be deleted these inventions would respawn in a new host, perhaps in a more chaotic form than ever before.
The grim reality is that this is it. Beating Facebook or Twitter means little if it’s to be replaced by something with the same fundamentals. The intellectual work of our time, the stuff that is hard, will involve digging into the strangeness of these problems. Identifying the role governments ought to play in regulation. Elevating the broader, cultural understanding of how these technologies are affecting people. And ultimately, building new things—alternative products and models more inline with what we value.
My fear is that this stuff is too new and too big and we’re going to slip, hard. If there is agreement from those in governments and media that we’re in an “Info War,” it becomes much easier for everyone to slip into a war like posture. One where intense internal debate is fortified by external messaging that says things are fine and under control. That’s true for the platforms but it’s also true for those covering them and attempting to regulate them. The disconnect between facade and reality creates a loop of mutual resentment. As things grow tense, that resentment only seems to harden.
There are occasional moments where everyone comes to the table. An increasing number of people are connecting the dots. But, on some level, it feels like we’re just starting.
So, in perhaps a throwback to an older era of the internet, some friends and I are starting a blog. We want to zero in on the conversation about what models are next. Build a better backchannel for the people in the weeds, working on all of the stuff.
Stuff we want to be a home for.
Have something you want to say you could never put your name next to? We want to give you the space for this.
We’re less interested in scoops, more interested in leaks that help the internet better understand how your organization is thinking through problems.
This is a side project. We don’t have any set posting schedule and we honestly don’t know who is on a similar wavelength. We’re doing this because we’ve been craving a different kind of intellectual space. One that is less focused on who to blame and more focused on what to build next.
This post is our equivalent of shooting a flare gun in the air to see who else is out there.
If that’s you, we want to hear from you. | 2019-04-25T23:38:56 | http://proxyforwhat.com/blog/ |

Antique or Not: I love my new coffeemaker!
I love my new coffeemaker!
This past Christmas, Hubby and I decided that rather than buying each other gifts, we'd buy a "together" gift instead. He had been trying out a Keurig coffeemaker at work and was raving about the coffee, so we decided to give one to ourselves for Christmas. If you're a reader of Pioneer Woman's blog, you know that she's a fan of Keurig too, so I'd already been familiar with their products through her. The Keurig coffeemakers brew a fresh cup of gourmet coffee, tea, or cocoa in less than a minute.
We picked out Keurig's model B60 Special Brewing System, set it up on our kitchen counter, and started enjoying various wonderful by-the-cup coffees. Keurig uses pre-measured portions in individual plastic cups called K-cups, which are available in many different varieties of gourmet coffee, tea, and cocoa, usually sold in boxes of 18 or 24. This model has a 48-oz. removable water reservoir and gives you a choice of 3 different cup sizes, including a 9.25-ounce serving for a travel cup (I use this one the most). See the little tray at the bottom where your cup rests? It slides away to give you ample room for the tallest travel cups.
A sampler pack of K-cups was included with our coffeemaker, and we dove in with glee! We took note of which we liked and which we didn't, then ordered more directly from Keurig. Their service was quick and efficient, and they offer a Coffee Club rewards program that rewards you for repeat purchases. Their large 24-cup box prices averaged $12.55 (or 52 cents per K-cup) after a club discount of 10% with the purchase of four or more boxes, plus they offer free ground shipping for orders over $45, and a free sampler pack when you buy six large boxes.
That first order was slurped up in no time, especially since Baby Girl was home from college over the holidays and liked the new coffeemaker as much as we did. Hubby had heard from a co-worker about a coffee service called CoffeeCow, so we tried them for our second order. Their large boxes averaged $10.99 (or 46 cents per K-cup), they provide free ground shipping for orders over $75, and they offer a "cow bucks" when you order $100 or more which equate to a discount of 5% off your current order to be applied to your next order. One problem...I really didn't care for their website; I had to scroll to the bottom of the page for information with each new page I viewed.
Then I found another K-cup provider called Shoffee.com that I'll be trying with our next order. Their large boxes averaged $9.98 (or 42 cents per K-cup), they provide free ground shipping for orders over $60, and they offer a free 12-pack of seasonal K-cups when you place a $75 or more K-cup order.
If we had it to do all over again, we would have gone up a level on the Keurig coffeemaker and purchased their model B70 Platinum edition. It has a 60-ounce water reservoir, four brewing sizes, and Quiet Brew technology (the pumps on all of these individual serving coffeemakers are a bit noisy when the pump is pulling water).
If you purchase a Keurig for your home, be sure to try their teas and cocoa too. My favorite teas are the Mandarin Orange Spice and the Lemon Zinger. Yummy!
Oh, I forgot to tell you the best part...no more cleaning up messy filters and coffee grounds. After brewing, simply lift the lid, pull out your used K-cup, and throw away...that's it!
Having previously tried the Senseo and Melitta at the shop (and returning them both), I can honestly say that the Keurig is the best single-serve coffeemaker that I've tried. And I think you'll like it too!
That Pioneer Woman sures knows a lot about a lot of things doesn't she? I would love to spend the week with her. Why are there some women who can run non stop, never tire and can do a little bit of everything unlike me who does a lot of nothing? heehee. Your coffee pot looks like quite the machine. The hubby and I have yet to acquire a coffee thing YET. How did you like the Wally Lamb novel?
I wasn't sure what you meant about the Wally Lamb novel, and then it occurred to me that it must have popped up in the Great Book Deals from Amazon.com box. Honestly, I've never read any of Wally Lamb's books. Do you think I should?
I am so glad you reviewd this for us and now I know someone with first hand experience. I have often wondered about the single cup brewing machines.
Sounds good!!! - I LOOOOVE my Bunn though, I drink WAY to much to wait for a serving at a time LOL The Bunn makes a whole post in about a min - it stores hot water in the back.
I've never used a single cup brewing machine but it's good to know that you like it if I ever decide to go there. I drink way to much coffee myself but this would be great for brewing other drinks like cocoa and tea by the cup.
Ummm, I wonder if I'd drink less or more coffee this way?
Sure is one fine coffee machine!
I am curious.Can one still use ones own ceramic mugs with this coffee maker? We have SO many mugs that I'd hate to start using plastic cups.
Cassie, the plastic cups I was talking about are the small containers that hold the coffee grounds...see the ones sitting around the coffeemaker in the second pic? You use whatever mug you'd like to hold your coffee.
That's a good looking coffee pot. Brewing probably wouldn't work for us because my dear picky husband prefers instant over brewed lol!
I like the idea of together gifts! (My hubby is trying to convince on a pontoon boat right now - lol!) And this coffee maker would be great - especially when guests come over.
I'm so happy to read this post. I've been wanting one for the longest because my husband and I cannot agree on how we like our coffee and have to make two seperate pots. I saw in the paper this morning that Kohl's has the one you purchased on sale. I think I'll pick one up tomorrow. | 2019-04-24T00:17:40 | https://www.antiqueornot.net/2009/01/i-love-my-new-coffeemaker_16.html |
Orthodontic treatments can correct a variety of problems in teens and adults, including crooked teeth and misaligned bites. Orthodontics can also be used to close large gaps between teeth. At Sudbury Family Dental Care in Sudbury, MA, our orthodontics specialists can help improve your smile.
There are several different types of orthodontic treatments available in Sudbury. These include clear aligners, traditional metal braces, clear braces and lingual braces. In some cases, other orthodontics appliances, such as headgear, might be required. The processes for most of these treatment methods are similar. The first appointment involves taking x-rays and molds of the teeth that will be used to develop an appropriate treatment plan for your teeth.
Traditional metal braces involve the installation of brackets on each tooth. The brackets are connected to one another with metal wires that run along the top and bottom rows of teeth. Metal braces are quite effective at shifting and realigning the teeth. One drawback is that, because they are silver and are placed not the front of the teeth, they are readily visible. Clear braces work just like silver ones but have the advantage of being less conspicuous since they are made from ceramic or composite materials that blend in with the teeth.
Lingual braces utilize brackets and wires, just as both metal braces and clear ceramic ones do. The difference with lingual braces is that the brackets and wires are placed on the backs of the teeth so they are not noticeable to others, which is appealing to many orthodontic patients. Lingual braces, as well as both metal and ceramic braces, can straighten teeth and correct problems with alignment.
Clear aligners offer another orthodontic method for straightening teeth but are not used to correct alignment problems. Instead of brackets and wires, clear aligners straighten the teeth using soft aligner trays that fit over the entire row of teeth, much like a mouth guard. The trays are removable, which is convenient when eating or brushing. The removable feature makes it less likely food particles will get stuck, as can easily occur with braces.
Whether your bite needs realignment or you just want straighter teeth, orthodontics can improve both the appearance and function of your teeth. For orthodontics in Sudbury, MA, visit Sudbury Family Dental Care. You can schedule a consultation by calling (978) 443-5193. | 2019-04-18T22:43:08 | https://www.sudburyfamilydentalcare.com/blog/post/orthodontic-treatment-processes.html |

(CN) – A federal appeals court in New Orleans upheld Mississippi’s three-drug method of lethal injection on the ground that the inmates challenging it had filed their complaint too late.
Death-row inmates Alan Walker, Paul Woodward, Earl Berry, Dale Bishop and Gerald Holland sued the state in October 2007, claiming that the lethal-injection procedure constituted cruel and unusual punishment. Berry and Bishop have been executed since the filing.
The 5th Circuit said their complaint is time-barred, because the procedure could be challenged as early as 1997, and the state never hid its lethal-injection procedure. The limitation period for the inmates’ actions accrues from the date of their convictions and sentencing, the court ruled, or when the state changes its execution procedure. The plaintiffs’ actions accrued between 1998 and 1999.
When the state moved for summary judgment based on the three-year statute of limitations, the inmates argued that it did not apply because their lawsuit sought an injunction, not damages. The plaintiffs also argued that even if the statute of limitations applied, the action did not accrue before the Supreme Court’s rulings in Hill v. McDonough (2006) and Baze v. Rees (2008).
But the circuit characterized the complaint as a personal injury action, despite the injunction request, and said the action is subject to a time bar. | 2019-04-21T10:22:19 | https://www.courthousenews.com/lethal-injection-lawsuit-filed-too-late-court-says/ |

From 1894 to 1915 more than 1.5 million Armenians were killed in Ottoman Turkey. This was a well-organized crime against Armenian Christians who were living in the territory of the Ottoman Empire. Many Armenians had a chance to reject Christ and Christianity and become Muslims and save their lives, but they chose to die for Christ.
Every year on April 24, Armenians around the world commemorate the victims of the Armenian Genocide. Year 2015 is the 100th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and on this occasion the Armenian Church celebrated a special Service on April 23, 2015 at the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, during which those who died for their faith in the Genocide were canonized into sainthood. We don’t know exactly how many of them died for their faith but we know that there were many.
Canonization doesn’t mean that their status was changed in heaven. With this special service of canonization the Armenian Church recognized their faithfulness to Christ and their holy works which, of course, are known to God and are proven by many witnesses. Canonization means to declare a deceased person an officially recognized saint, sanctioned by ecclesiastical authority.
The last time that the Armenian Church canonized a saint was almost 400 years ago and that was St. Movses Datevaci.
It is assumed that most of our Genocide victims died for their faith and homeland.
The canonization of our Martyrs has brought great happiness and hope to our nation. As of April 24, 2015 we now celebrate the Martyrs of the Armenian Genocide as we celebrate other Armenian Church Saints.
After this there no longer will be a Requiem Service for the Genocide victims. Now we can pray to them as our saints or martyrs who will be able to intercede for us before God.
Many of you have ancestral family members who perished during the Armenian Genocide and you may feel their closeness in praying to them for their intercession on your behalf. | 2019-04-24T00:58:31 | https://holytrinity-pa.org/canonization-of-armenian-martyrs/ |

Queen's Gaze is upon us!
Every 52 years, a comet appears in the sky, dominating the view for the course of a year. Seen as a bright white streak across the sky with a dark black pit at its head, the comet is an omen to many faiths, symbolizing a period when life and death are in equilibrium and the veil between the spirit realm and Elyria is drawn away. It’s a time when the living and the unincarnated souls of the dead can interact more freely, and darker, hungrier creatures of the spirit realm are free to dwell in the land of the living.
The holiday begins with the appearance of the comet known as “The Eye” in the night sky, early at the start of the year. The Eye will remain visible in the sky, seeming to slowly move from the western horizon to the eastern horizon if viewed at the same time every night. As it approaches its closest point to Elyria, it grows brighter and larger, reaching a peak just as it reaches its zenith in the sky at approximately the middle of the year.
Throughout this period, the astral and material realms overlap, allowing spirits and the living to interact more freely. Glimpses of entities from the spirit realm are supposedly common during this period and many old tales warn of the dangers of possession, corruption and abduction at the hands of those spirits who are unable or unwilling to return to Elyria via reincarnation. Though the event happens only once every few generations, there are many stories of souls who become “lost in the twilight” as they try to make their way back to their bodies, their silver cords thinned and weakened and their sense of self confused to the point where they cannot find their way back before their bodies die.
Those who believe in strange tales say that Queen's Gaze is the time when the Soulless, those that hunger for the Spirit of the living, are most powerful. It is a time when one’s life and one’s soul are equally at risk. They say that liches are born when the Eye rides the sky and that lost souls will lure the living away to grim fates. This is the time where ghost stories and grim accounts are told of horrors with fanciful names like the Marsh Mother and the Lantern Man.
While the more lurid stories of the Eye’s appearance are dark stories and warnings to fear the dead, there are just as many references to the comet’s arrival that are joyous or reverential. In past arrivals, stories of visitations with the souls of long-lost loved ones were abundant. Monarchs would confer with their forbearers, seeking guidance for the future. These stories have evolved into the more playful celebrations of some cultures, today.
Many Dras are similarly reverent of the period, though they see the time as an opportunity to aid the fallen back to life, to restore balance by ensuring the flow of souls is unfettered. As such, their efforts in this time tend to focus more on settling the matters of the fallen. It is not unusual to find Dras in this time, assisting in the burial of the dead and the rituals of their passing.
For most, however, the appearance of the Eye has no connection to the Twofold Queen and is instead seen more as a time to remember the fallen and to pay homage to those that have come before. Common practices throughout the year include grave tending festivals, where a settlement, village or city actively improves, maintains and then pays respects to the graves of those that have passed on in the region. This lends the passage of the Eye throughout the year a more festive and celebratory cast and daily gatherings in towns to boast of the deeds of the fallen are not unusual. In some places families will attend to their lineage’s graves, festooning them with bright colors and symbolic effigies of their favorite foods or personal items.
When the Eye hangs in the night sky, it’s not unusual for taverns to maintain a “vigil” throughout the year, where those who have lost comrades will enter the tavern, announce that they keep the vigil for their friends or family and then proceed, over a round of strong spirits, to tell a tale of the fallen, passing on the story to others in the tavern so that the deeds of the fallen soul’s last life can be spread and remembered. While some vigils are somber affairs, it is far more typical for a vigil to be a raucous affair of tall tales, full of cheers and songs in celebration of fallen comrades and proud ancestors.
Others take the Eye as a metaphor for the Qindred, seeing its dual nature as a vision of Angelica and Luna parading through creation hand in hand and a sign of good fortune for all. This leads to an odd synthesis of practices in many metropolitan areas, where the celebration of those who have passed on is mixed with a general jubilation of life, leading to raucous festivals and parades in neighborhoods and fanciful tournaments or market festivals that can last the entire year. Often these festivals will include imagery of death and life, side by side. Gaily decorated symbols of death, motifs of white and black and jewelry of silver are common elements of decorations during this time.
On the shore of the Evenmere, there was once a prosperous village of fisherfolk. Jevirelle, though an outsider from afar, had joined the village as the new wife of a fisherman and was welcomed into the community. Sadly, Jevirelle had lost her husband to the surrounding marsh and its hazards within a few short years of joining the village, and before she and her husband had started a family of their own. She suddenly found herself alone in the grand house at the village’s edge that she and her husband had built. In the autumn of that same year, the banks of the Evenmere flooded, destroying the village’s pier, the waterfront, and shattering the families of the fishers who lived there. It broke Jevirelle’s heart to see so many suffer as she had, so she opened her home to the immigrant children, outsiders like herself, who had lost their families to the flood. Soon, she found herself the Matron of Evenmere’s sole orphanage, an institution she would operate until the night of her death, many years later.
It began in the afternoon, as the Eye appeared in the sky for the first time in generations. Three boys from Jevirelle's orphanage were walking home through the moors after spending their day foraging for truffles. Just a few yards from the outskirts of the village they came across a hole dug into the moist loam and, partially buried within, the body of a woman, still warm, its blood oozing into the peat at the bottom of the hole. The boys understood that something foul was afoot and immediately ran to the village to alert the magistrate.
Jevirelle expected her boys home for supper that evening, but as the afternoon wore on and the shadows grew long, she began to suspect trouble. Wrapping herself in a shawl against the evening chill, she set out to find them, fearing – rightly – that they had fallen into trouble somewhere in the village. At first, she saw no sign of the boys. Indeed, it seemed as if most of the town was absent from their usual haunts. As she made her way to the town center, and she realized where the villagers had gone, Jevirelle’s concern grew.
She found her fellow villagers assembled in the village’s market square. The throng surrounded the mayor and Jevirelle's three lost wards. The crowd was a din of shouted accusations and anger that Jevirelle could not make out, but as she pushed her way through the crowd, their words became clear.
I always knew they were trouble!
We should have sent them back to where they came from!
Jevirelle pushed through the last of the crowd, seeing her boys in detail at last. They had been beaten. Scratches and sick purple bruises covered their faces. Their hair was matted with their own blood and the dirt of the road. Though they offered no resistance, they were being held tightly by three of the village’s strongest fishers, like common criminals. The mayor stood before the crowd, his arms outstretched. Perhaps, her fears better under her control, she would have seen his efforts to calm the crowd, but to Jevirelle he seemed to be indulging the mob, stoking its anger and exalting as that rage roared to life.
Against such fury, she felt calm reason impossible and so she simply pushed past them, mayor and all, stalking towards her children. So palpable was her determination to free her children that the men holding her boys blanched, releasing their holds. She pulled her boys from their now loosened grips and pushed through the crowd once more, having never spoken a word. Behind her, the crowd erupted into screams and howls as she pushed her wards back through the village to their home. Though no one stepped forward to stop them, it was clear the crowd had not had its due. The confrontation was far from over.
They followed Jevirelle and her orphans all the way back to her home, screaming accusations and insults the whole way. As Jevirelle tightly shut her door, they were gathering on her property, ignoring propriety completely. Jevirelle summoned all her wards from about the house and gathered them in her hall. Hugging each one in turn, she assured them that she would see them through this. Jevirelle vowed that she would protect the children, no matter what it took, but Jevirelle would be unable to fulfill that vow.
That village no longer stands on the Evenmere. They say that its population died out, each generation born there smaller than the last, until finally, its final denizens left to find their destiny elsewhere. But, those with lineages that reach back to that ancient place tell a story of its demise. The children of the village, they said, were called to the Marsh Mother. The ghost of Jevirelle that even now wanders the marshes and moors whenever the Eye looks down from its perch in the night sky, in search of children to join her orphans, forever under her care.

So sad, The Marsh Mother. But it adds so well to the lore :D I'm super late on reading this, but this is so great. I love it. Well done once again, Snipe!
I wonder if this has in-game implications. As in, if Queen's Gaze will affect ancestors we can talk to, etc., or if it's just referring to the reincarnation process every year once a soul dies.

Guess I’ll be spending this holiday hunting for ghosts in the marshes. Wonder what’ll happen if I find the Marsh Mother? Bonus effects on my heir maybe? Or maybe I’ll only be able to see her if my character was born during the holiday or has an appropriate talent.
Based on the moon, the comet's tail seems to be pointing in the wrong direction.

D'oh! I suppose I should have made that more clear: Among the fallen living along the shore were fishers who, like her, had come from elsewhere. Since the surviving children of these transplants had no kin among the village, she took them in.

They clearly live is a Marsh biome, hence the name "Marsh Mother", which puts the village in the To'resk tribe. Kypiq come from the proto-Neran group.
But the children were orphans from other villages, not native to the marshland. The marsh mother herself was an "outsider from afar" and she opened her home to the "immigrant children". So even though it puts the village in marshland, the immigrants of the village were not of To'resk blood. The villagers even shouted, "We should have sent them back to where they came from!" It still makes sense because the immigrant children could have been of proto-neran blood.
I mean, there was an orphanage in this village, I'm sure some kids were adopted and not all of them died in the orphanage when it was burned. There was an agreement to build it in the first place. I think the village was at least, of mixed blood. To'resk are also shorter than Neran and so thinking of Kypiqs being of mixed blood from the other races is plausible.
"That village no longer stands on the Evenmere. They say that its population died out, each generation born there smaller than the last, until finally, its final denizens left to find their destiny elsewhere."
And that's when the people traveled to the forest and their short stature was of benefit in the region, and thus they flourished and came to be known as a separate tribe, the Kypiq.
That village no longer stands on the Evenmere. They say that its population died out, each generation born there smaller than the last, until finally, its final denizens left to find their destiny elsewhere. But, those with lineages that reach back to that ancient place tell a story of its demise. The children of the village, they said, were called to the Marsh Mother.
Just like the Dras left their homeland and now reside within the swamp... think the Kypiq are the descendants of the people who lived on Evenmere? They're the smallest tribe.

I am a lore fanatic. And the deeper we delve into the world of Elyria the more I love every bit of it.
May you all hold favor in the Queen's Gaze.

"Monarchs would confer with their forbearers, seeking guidance for the future." Awesome.
Pretty sure it's still 1 IRL week = 1 Elyrian year.
The living between 80-120 years is to account for the varying starting age you may be taking over your heir or NTC.
Also, loved that piece Snipehunter, keep it up dude.

Awesome lore update. Keep up the great work.
Love it! The lore is very interesting and also deep drive! Looking forward to see what else Elyria hides! Everyday I'm amazed and fascinated how well SBS handles development! 11/10!
Daemon send a Burning Rock as a reminder of His great power. If He would deem Mann has failed him, the Burning Rock will descend upon us and destroy our world.
Every bit of this piece, hauntingly beautiful. I'm sure this holiday will always be exciting and full of secrets! Super looking forward to seeing more like this.
This is awesome! Now need the story of the Lantern man!
every 52 years ey? can someone do the maths on how long irl that is?
"Elyrian lives somewhere between 80 and 120 years (averaging ~100 years), based on the genetics of their bloodline.
Over the course of 10-14 real-world months your character will grow old and eventually die,"
So in 14 months your character will be about 120 years old. Divide that in half, your Elyrian will be 60 in 7 months. A week is about 2.15 years. So every 6 months and 3 weeks is about 52 years.
So if your character lives the good life, there might be a chance that your character sees it twice his life.
I may be wrong on the numbers, but I'm close.
Man, I'm getting a headache.

Sorry, this is not accurate.
1 irl week is one Elyria year. 52 weeks in an irl year. This event is every irl year on the week surrounding Halloween.
Love the tie in for all the creepy stuff going on around Halloween. Was especially interested in seeing that vampires are stronger, ghosts are a potential thing, and that liches are made on Halloween day.

Note to self: most active guard patrols possible on Halloween.
THIS is what I'm talking about. Amaze.
The twin orbs of gold in The Queen's eyes captured the ghastly image of the traveler in the firmament. She recalled the stories, the legends of menn she had heard many a night before closing her eyes. This high above, only the wind sang to her ear, accompanied by the familiar clinking of the spoon stirring her porcelain cup. Carefully, she brought the cup closer, to enjoy the fragrance of warm Blood Tea. The crimson lips touched the cup, to imbibe the fluid within, drawing a faint smile.
This was awesome lore. I can't wait to learn more! The story of the Marsh Mother was perfect for Halloween time ( or should I say the Time of the Eye's zenith). I can't wait to get in game and experience it for myself. Keep up the good work SBS!
I want to know what happened to the real murderer!!
I want to know what happened to the real murderer!! Great Lore! Thanks Snipehunter.
Possible lich clue: They say that liches are born when the Eye rides the sky and that lost souls will lure the living away to grim fates.
I love these concepts but I might be biased as I already follow the Queen's Gaze in many ways.
I especially love the tale of the Marsh Mother. It is very eerie and I love that the village dwindled and died out. Plus the foot prints in the ashes were just the perfect touch. Great story!

" In this short span between my fingertips and the smooth edge and these tense feet cramped to a crystal ledge, I hold the life of a man." -Geoffrey Winthrop Young.
Hi all, how feasible it is to use solar panels while trekking? Have seen pictures of trekkers carrying them on their back packs. Has anyone on this forum used them? Is it possible to recommend a specific model? I am looking for a solar panel for charging my for DSLR camera, phone while on treks.
I am not very sure how well these solar panels work, having had a forgettable experience with at least 3 models which did not prove to be useful. I suggest you carry extra batteries and a powermonkey charger. It gives a full recharge to a phone and an ipad. Therefore I think it will work for a DSLR. Also, I use a storage charger and not a solar one. You can immediately find out how much back up is left..
There are different types. Some are reasonable large panels that fold into a book. You unfold them when at camp and attach them to a large and rather heavy battery. Goal Zero has several such models. I have seen people use them and they are pretty good.
I found it pretty useless too. There is a lot of sun in Ladakh, and yet it barely managed to build a charge. I could recharge my MP3 player, but it would not recharge my Android phone.
It helps charging my phone and camera Nikon P100 batteries. On a full charge it can charge 1 Nikon battery fully and phone battery approx thrice.
I have achieved a full charge using solar over 4 days of exposure while trekking.
Am attaching an image of the same.
This is good info buddy . Does it work well ? Would you recommend it to others , basically for a cell phone and a basic point in shoot camera . Also how much does it cost .
Don't really have any personal experience as far as Solar Panels are concerned, but recently on one of our Everest Base Camp treks, a friend of mine from States brought down " Goal Zero Nomad 27 Solar Panel " which he clipped on to the back of his ruck sack. It worked out brilliantly for him as he was able to charge is Ipad , Ipod, iphone ( as I mentioned, he;s from the states and i-anything is what works for them) .
Below is the review available on Youtube for the " Goal Zero Nomad 27 Solar Panel "
Having seen first hand how, cool it worked for him, I went online to look at some reviews and came across the following link which was pretty thorough on the comparisons of Solar Panels.
Interesting Video and product, but I don't think its feasible to purchase this here . Any idea, "IN INDIA", what are the best options ?
Its interesting that the subject for this discussion specifically quantifies the requirement of solar panels for "Treks". I guess if someone wants to trek heavy then its alright.
Most hikers and alpinists I know of would travel/hike/climb as light as possible. Something as cumbersome as the Goal Zero Nomad would defeat the purpose in such cases. Most Chinese panels are terrible and the good ones are too cumbersome and expensive to justify the way they work.
Almost all smartphones, and digicams give out the capacity of their batteries in mah. Just add up the figures and pick a compact powerbank which has a capacity equal to or more than the figure you arrived at. I personally use a Nokia DC16 (1700 mah), but there are powerbanks out there with capacity as much as 10000 mah and are only slightly bigger than the DC16. | 2019-04-26T11:41:01 | http://indianmountaineers.com/forum/10-trekking/584-usage-of-solar-panels-while-on-treks.html |

Physiotherapy is dedicated to restoring function to an injured or diseased patient by physical methods such as massage, heat treatment and exercise. It plays a vital role in relieving pain, improving joint and muscle health and aids the rehabilitation of patients after major injury or surgery.
Stretching or passive range-of-motion exercises can be performed as soon as your pet is sufficiently comfortable. These exercises help to reduce joint stiffness and limit muscle wastage (atrophy).
Some animals will prefer to stand and others will prefer to lie when receiving physiotherapy. An extra pair of hands is often helpful to help restrain the patient. Use padded bedding for your pet if performed lying down.
After consultation with a veterinary surgeon, the following exercises can be performed for around 20-30 minutes three to four times daily.
This should be done before the stretching exercises as it helps the muscles warm up and become more flexible. Support the limb and gently massage it for a few minutes, working from the toes towards the top of the limb. Gradually increase the pressure, especially at the top of the limb where the muscles are larger. This should be enjoyable and help your pet to relax.
Joint motion encourages circulation and helps maintain joint health. Joints should be manipulated through their full range of motion whilst maintaining reasonable comfort. If at any point your pet becomes restless, painful or yelps, stop the exercise and try again later in the day. Never stretch your pet’s leg too far as this will be extremely uncomfortable for them.
As with the massage you should start at the toes and progress towards the top of the leg.
Starting with the toes, gently flex or wiggle each toe.
To flex the knee and hock joints, place your dog’s paw in the palm of your hand and gently push the leg up towards the body until the leg is fully flexed. Hold in place for 5 seconds, relax the leg and repeat up to 5 times.
To flex the hip joint, gently extend the leg forwards and hold in place for 5 seconds. Relax the leg and extend backwards, holding in place for 5 seconds. Relax the leg then lift it upwards, hold in place for 5 seconds, relax and repeat this up to 5 times.
The entire limb may now be cycled through its entire range of motion by using the bicycle movement.
Care must be taken to support the spine and prevent unnecessary movement of the spine during any of the exercises.
Using a non-slip surface such as a rug, carpet or bath mat, place your pet in a standing position. Ensure all four limbs are in a natural position and the paws are flat on the floor. Support your pet as necessary to prevent them from falling and injuring themselves. Gradually, as the muscles become stronger, less support will be required.
Whilst in the standing position you can bounce your pet gently on their toes and sway them gently from side to side. This encourages them to place their paws correctly on the floor and to build up muscle strength.
Your pet may be taken outside to allow them to toilet and to encourage limb movement. They should be walked slowly and gently, if necessary using a harness and abdominal sling (you can use a scarf or towel) for around five minutes. Ruff wear boots can be placed on the feet when out to prevent sores developing on the paws. | 2019-04-23T20:24:47 | https://ndsr.co.uk/en-GB/specialist-referral-service/pet-health-information/neurology/canine-pelvic-limb-physiotherapy |
What makes your automatic car wash better?
The Wash at Market Square is often referred to as “The BMW of Car Washes”. Our wash is powered by Kärcher OPTI 8000 TOUCHLESS WASH technology, and we have the highest quality soaps, waxes and surface protectants available in Colorado. As a touchless wash, we do not have brushes that get soiled that can also scratch your paint or damage your vehicle (ski racks welcome!). Our touchless wash also features Shield- a surface polymer protectant that we add to our top wash. It protects the car from damage caused by salt used to de-ice roads and from UV light. Our washes are also large enough for 4 door, long bed pickups, and open 24/7. Stop by for a wash; you won’t be disappointed!
On top of a great wash, a portion of your wash goes to charity, as we donate monthly to local charities.
What makes your self-serve facilities better?
Unlike other carwash locations, we offer treatments to remove mag chloride from your car in the winter, and “bugs” in the summer–foam conditioner available that takes your wash to the next level.
Most importantly, we aren’t like many of the chain washes out there–we are locally owned and operated.
We accept cash and credit cards. We also offer pre-paid VIP accounts and combo packages to save money for our regular customers.
Do your machines give me “real” change or worthless tokens?
You will be happy to know that we only give you “real” change in U.S. currency.
We are open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. We also have friendly, knowledgeable staff onsite 6-7 hours/day to answer your questions and to assist you with your car or doggy wash. | 2019-04-20T00:11:39 | http://www.greeleycarwash.com/faq/ |
May 9. MEKNES We had planned to leave Meknes on morning bus from the main station but had a change of plans. After buying our ticket we were faced with an irascible bus attendant that eventually resulting in our just leaving. He wanted to load our bags on the roof instead of in the luggage compartment but with the weather looking like rain we objected. This irritated him. After some hassle we finally loaded our bags into the compartment alongside a couple of local men. The fee for baggage had been very ambiguous. On our bus ride from Fes to Meknes they tried to charge us as much as our bus ticket to put our bags on board. However, we never saw a local person pay anything when loading their bags. It was the same with this guy. He put out his hand for money but we had just seen the men next to us load their bags for nothing. We explained our position and the man started to become irate, waiving hands and yelling. To calm things down we asked how much he wanted. If it was reasonable we would have just paid it to save any further hassle. After all, he had our bags at his disposal. The CTM buses usually charged a small fee for baggage but it was equally applied to all passengers based on the weight of their bags so we had an idea of what was acceptable. This just incited him even more. Fed up with this insane melodrama, I went back to the ticket window and inquired about other buses leaving later in the day. The next one was a couple of hours later which would have gotten us into Tenerir after dark. We mulled over our options and finally decided to just leave and take the night bus with CTM. Night buses aren't ideal but the CTM buses were much more comfortable and there were less hassles. We grabbed a cab and went to buy our ticket. The CTM office also had a well-run baggage check where we were given a receipt for our bags and felt comfortable leaving them there for the day.
With our change of plans we now had a whole other day to spend in Meknes, where we had already seen pretty much everything. We returned to our cafe in new town for a couple of lattes while we watched Meknes life play out in front of us. From the cafe we went to McDonald's for lunch. Failing to find any really good local food places and not wanting to walk all of the way back to the medina for camel meatballs, it was just too easy to go for the familiar. There was a birthday party going on so the noise level was crazy but it made for some good entertainment. We had observed two very modern dressed girls , LA meets Morocco, getting into a cab in new town and noted the contrast with the mostly jellaba wearing population. They were at the McDonald's birthday party. We were in the Meknes alternative universe. On the neatly groom lawn of the McDonald's parking lawn we witnessed a well dressed made doing his midday prayers. It was as good of a place as any but it was hard not to be thrown by the McDonald's backdrop.
We ventured over to check out the Ibis hotel, which looked like any business-class hotel chain back home. We thought they may have had an Internet center but they didn't, just a cafe and pool. We looked into movie times at the cinema next door but it all of the American movies were dubbed in French. Above the cinema was found a peaceful cafe that provided some nice views towards the old medina. The weather had cleared up nicely so we just enjoyed the afternoon over mint tea.
Lunch was at McDonald's and then we went to check email, which took us a few hours. Rob grabbed a sandwich at a nearby restaurant but I wasn't too enticed by the carrot, potato, rice, egg, green olive and mayonnaise concoction that he ordered. The CTM bus station had a pretty comfortable waiting room with Vertical Limit playing on a TV. We removed our bags from storage and then checked them to be loaded. When the bus arrived the bags were loaded for us and we just hopped on. It left at 10:15, on time. | 2019-04-25T16:51:46 | http://bazaarplanet.com/spain_morocco/27_meknes_morocco.html |
