by Bob Lupton The church was justifiably proud of its community food pantry. It had grown over the years from a closet in the church basement to a spacious, well-run distribution center with its own separate building adjacent to the church. It looked more like a small grocery store than a “pantry” with rows of neatly stocked shelves, bins for fresh produce, even a cooler for perishables. A state-of-the-art computer system kept track of inventory, recorded donor contributions, monitored distributions and the recipients who received them, and maintained good financial records. Because it was so well run, local grocery stores and bakeries felt good about donating their surplus and outdated food. Other churches contributed as well.
It was still called “the pantry,” the quaint name left over from its meager beginnings when occasional bags of food were given out by the pastor. But it had evolved into a full-fledged food distribution operation run more like a business than a basement charity. It had a full-time director, a part-time bookkeeper and several dozen regular volunteers. It was now open four days a week and served growing numbers of needy beneficiaries that streamed in from all over the county. School counselors and agency caseworkers referred clients needing emergency assistance. The “pantry” had become widely known as an important player in the city’s social safety-net. As I said, the church was justifiably proud of the ministry of its community food pantry.
Then one day a church member handed the pastor a book – Toxic Charity! It made the case that give-away programs hurt the poor more than they helped, that a crisis response to a chronic need creates dependency, that doing for others what they have the capacity to do for themselves destroys a work ethic. Needless to say, it was a very disturbing read. It called into question the validity of their best community ministry. If it were true, that give-away programs are hurtful, the entire structure of the “pantry” would have to be dismantled. And not just the “pantry” – much of their service outreach and mission trips would have to be revamped as well! This is not the kind of disruption a busy pastor needs.
Isn’t community service to be about helping the needy, not just making church members feel good? And if, as that darn book says, the way the church is doing service actually harms those they are attempting to help, then the program is clearly self-serving. Not intentionally, but in reality it may be more about the church’s self-interest than about those being served. Yes, Toxic Charity was indeed a very disturbing read.
Or they may raise more questions. Questions like: Why are there so few anecdotal success stories? Or why are recipients not becoming involved in the life of the church? Or why do the “pantry” workers seem somewhat defensive about the inquiries? Probe a little deeper and it may become apparent that, as that book claims, the whole well-run, give-away program reeks with hidden toxicities – dependency, deception, dignity-depreciation. That’s when the real problem arises – how to fix a ministry that most folk don’t think is broken?
Changing an institution that is heavily vested in “the way we have always done it” is a major challenge, especially for a pastor whose job it is to keep that institution growing and keep the members reasonably happy. The last thing a leader wants is to stir up divisive controversy that could alienate good and faithful members. But a spiritual leader must also have integrity. So if it becomes apparent that change is necessary to ensure responsible care for the poor, there is no alternative but to act. But how?
Certainly not a frontal assault. Too much damage could be inflicted on the “compassion corps” by declaring their good works toxic. A much subtler change strategy is needed. Distributing copies of Toxic Charity to key leadership (perhaps covertly) will stimulate considerable discussion. Such conversations begin working the soil. Visiting a few innovative models – best practices – being implemented elsewhere by other ministries helps to move the discussion from critique to creativity. Encourage a few key leaders to attend the Christian Community Development Association (CCDA.org) annual conference, a gathering of practitioner thought-leaders committed to assisting ministries to empower the poor. That will definitely till up some soil. It is not at all unlikely that, through a non-confrontational exploration process, interest in new methods of service will be kindled. A food co-op “buying club” model, a bartering system, a thrift store with deeply discounted basics – such ideas that have succeeded in other places can ignite the imagination, especially of entrepreneurial types.
Adding a new, complementary program is far less volatile than attempting to dismantle and replace an existing one. The “pantry” stays. At least for a time. But alongside it you may chose to offer recipients the option to join a “buying club” co-op in which members pay $3 bi-weekly and receive back ten to twenty times that amount in groceries. Members, like share holders, have the pride of ownership, control of food selection, and accountability to each other. Dignity replaces beggary, belonging replaces impersonal food lines. Like one church discovered, as co-op membership increased food lines dwindled until eventually almost no free food was distributed. It’s one idea. The point is this: transition from “doing for” the poor to “doing with” them need not be disruptive or alienating. It begins with one decisive step in the right direction.
The “pantry” may continue to function for years to come but the shift to empowerment has begun. A door has been opened that allows church members and recipients alike to experience first-hand the differences between the pridelessness of one-way charity and the dignity of reciprocal exchange. Outcomes will eventually become obvious. Once empowerment principles take root and spread beyond the “pantry” to other areas of ministry – benevolence giving, service projects, mission trips – a paradigm of development will become the new norm. | 2019-04-23T00:30:00Z | https://www.fcsministries.org/fcs-ministries/blog/on-changing-an-institution |
I have a child of a MDI container and I don't want the user to be able to close it, or maximize, or minimize it. But I do want the user to be able to resize it and drag it around and will. So I want to get rid of the close, minimize and maximize buttons but retain the blue strip.
Where "this" is some form, you may find yourself with a control lacking a blue strip to move the form around! The solution to this problem is to enter some text in the text field.
And that seems to be how it's done. Of course there are other ways override the message handler or using PInvoke (yes I tried Google before working this out for myself) but you really don't need to.
You can always add a delegate to listen for the FormClosing event. | 2019-04-23T04:39:41Z | http://www.godpatterns.com/2006/09/removing-close-box-from-c-form.html |

« One of the Best Ever.
I didn’t really mean to write about all of this. Traveling over the Santiam Pass on New Year’s Eve, I wrote notes for something vastly different. But that will have to wait.
December needs to be revisited first.
I have been so afraid and so deeply sad. I lost my eye. I almost died. My face is still a mass of bruises, swelling, and pain. I will heal, I know, but there will be scars inside and out.
This past month keeps replaying itself in my memory. My world exploded on December 1 – a catastrophic fall on our sailboat. Four days later, Erik and I traveled painfully back to the States with the help of porters at every airport. Over the next two days, I saw my first eye doctor at the Casey Eye Institute and then a facial reconstruction ENT surgeon. It was decided to do a new ultrasound on my eye and operate on my face toward the end of December. The news that I could be looking at multiple surgeries was more than disheartening.
But Erik, being who he is, pushed to move the ultrasound up to December 15 to give us time to reevaluate should any new information come to light. We drove back over the pass to OHSU in a blizzard, avoiding an avalanche, to have the ultrasound. The technician, a brilliant and perceptive angel, noticed some issues with my eye.
We were ushered in to a meeting with the retinal surgeon who told us my eye was too damaged to save, that to leave it in could damage the other eye. We took time to breathe, think, and decide.
We put out an all-call on Facebook, and with a speed and love I never could have imagined, we began receiving support and help from all over the world.
A friend of Erik’s – a lovely woman he introduced me to in the line at the post office, and to whom I spoke for maybe 10 minutes – offered to put us in touch with a world-renowned retinologist. A member of our “racing family” introduced us to a professional who studied with my retinologist in England. My niece introduced me to a “friend of a friend” who had faced the traumatic loss of an eye. Just messaging her helped.
And the love and prayers that cascaded over us … from “wraparound hugs” to entreaties to call should I need anything … from friends I’d had since high school to my sorority sisters, from my family to my person to my brand new racing family … tears fall as I type this knowing I would not be here without you all.
I had my surgery on December 20, and after four days in the “ambulatory” surgical unit, Erik drove me back home. Getting over the pass was intensely painful, despite his best efforts. Christmas was saved by the presence and hugs of our children.
We went back over the pass to see my doctors on December 30, just a week and a half after they put my face back together. Details were revealed that the doctors had told me, I was just not coherent enough to fully realize.
The orbit of my right eye was broken in so many places, the facial reconstruction surgeon had to find a piece that was still attached to my skull and tie that one to the next and the next one to the next. The only comparison she can make is to a patient she had who fell five stories and landed on his face.
My right cheek was disintegrated to the extent they had to use a thicker titanium plate to rebuild it so it would hold shape. My right eye had literally exploded. My septum was deviated and the right side of my nose broken in pieces too many to count.
The injuries to my face were the kind associated with the head-on collisions of drunk drivers. Minor in comparison, I tend to forget the depressed skull fracture on my right temporal lobe.
I was stunned. “Jesus,” I thought, “how can this be so bad?” I lost an eye, but it’s more than that. The pain, the loss, the fear. I can’t write these words without tears. I don’t know why it wasn’t just enough to give me Parkinson’s.
I hadn’t believed them when they said the pain and bruising from this operation would be greater than the original accident. After they rebuilt my face from one incision in my mouth at the gum line and other incisions behind my eyelids, I learned they were right. My allergy to opioids caused wracking nausea and vomiting, making narcotics as brutal as suffering through the pain. After two days I retreated to Tylenol, Advil, and Excedrin.
I cried in his office as the finality washed over me again. Erik held my knee and told me it was ok to cry, that I had to grieve.
But here I am now, December 31, New Year’s Eve, sitting on the couch in the Tree House in Sisters. There’s no dancing, but there is a love that will sustain us through bone-deep fatigue, pain and sorrow, and enable us to find joy in all things.
We are making plans to go back up to the boat soon, and still plan to sail to Alaska this summer.
So while I have many more rows to hoe, bones to mend, bruises to heal, and lessons to learn, I can begin my new year with tears for the trials of 2016, a sense of dread about the pain I still have to endure, but also gratitude for the love of family and friends, and the man who brought me home.
Second star to the right and straight on ‘till morning.

When I would go to the beach as a kid, I would sometimes emerge from the water with these slimy, smelly plants around my ankles. I used to see that and think it was gross. Now I see seaweed and think about recipes to use it in.
Cooking with sea veggies is still a new concept for some people. Sure, we eat it when we dine on vegan sushi and maybe even add a few kelp flakes to a vegan “fish” recipe. For most people, sea veggies are not an item on their weekly shopping list. They’ve been used for thousands of years in Asian cooking and now they are gaining in popularity and becoming easier to find in mainstream grocery stores. If you’re not sure about how to cook with seaweed or if you even want to, I’m here to help you conquer your fear of sea veggies and encourage you to try cooking with them at home.
1. What are Sea Veggies?
You’re probably wondering what the difference is between seaweed and sea veggies. The answer is there is no difference. The term “sea vegetables” has become more popular as the term “seaweed” brings up negative connotations, much like how I thought about it as a child. Besides, who wants to see the word “algae” on a menu? Sea veggies include many marine algae varieties found in the water and along the coast. Sea veggies come in red, green, brown and yellow colors and multiple varieties. Seaweed can be eaten raw or cooked and add a salty, umami flavor to foods. To learn more, read All You Ever Wanted to Know About Sea Vegetables: Kelps, Noris, Oh My!
Before we get to how to cook with sea veggies, let’s look at why we should. Seaweed is considered a superfood. The oldest plant family on Earth, sea vegetables are packed with more nutrients than any other plant. They have been used for centuries to treat many health problems. Sea veggies are a great source of iodine, vitamins A, C, E and B vitamins. They are filled with antioxidants and have detoxification and antibiotic properties. Sea veggies are also rich in protein, calcium, magnesium and fiber. To learn even more about the health benefits of sea veggies, see Seaweed Decoded: Why It’s Essential on a Vegan Diet.
How you use sea veggies depends on the type of seaweed you’re using. There are well over 10,000 types of seaweed. Most need to be rehydrated so they can be added easily to soups. Nori, used to wrap sushi, can be eaten dry. Seaweed can be added to salads like this Easy Seaweed Salad and this Seaweed Salad with Toasted Sesame Dressing. It can also be fried or dehydrated to make crispy snacks or added to stir-fries. Let’s look at how to use the most common types of seaweed.
Nori, a type of red algae, is the one you’re probably most familiar with. It’s the flaky, dark green seaweed used to wrap sushi. It’s also used as a garnish on salads and in miso soup. It’s usually sold in full sheets for sushi wrapping. Learn How to Make a Nori Roll and then try these Super Easy Nori Hand Rolls With Avocado Dressing, Nori Wrap With Sweet Potato, Avocado and Miso Dressing, and these Unbelievably Raw Vegan Nori Wraps with Spicy Dipping Sauce. Nori has also become popular as a toasted snack to eat like chips. Try these Raw Vegan Noritos to try it yourself.
Wakame is usually used in salads and miso soups. It is sold dried and needs to be rehydrated. The taste is mildly sweet. Try it in these Spring Rolls with Wakame and Kabocha Squash Stuffed With Black Rice, Kale and Wakame. It is also used in this recipe for Vegan “Fish” Sauce.
Dulse is a red sea veggie sold in flakes. It’s used in soups, stir-fries and I use it a lot to add that “fishy” flavor to my vegan seafood dishes. Use dulse in this Garden and Sea Pate, ‘Crab’ Cakes with Green Tartar Sauce, and Chickpea ‘Tuna’ Salad.
Arame is a dark brown seaweed that is sold dehydrated. It has a semi-sweet flavor and can be used on salads or in stir-fries. Use arame in this Spicy Asian Cucumber Avocado Onion Salad and in this Delicious No-Bone Broth.
Kelp is one of the more commonly eaten sea veggies. It can be added to any recipe for a salty, umami flavor. Kelp flakes are used in this Tempeh ‘Fish’ N’ Chips with Tartar Sauce and in these Vegan Tofu Scallops. It can also be eaten in the form of kelp noodles. You’ll love these Kelp Noodles in Peanut-Miso Sauce and Vegan Chili Kelp Noodles.
Spirulina is a deep sea green algae and is considered a superfood. It is high in protein, B-vitamins and antioxidants as well as other nutrients. In fact, spirulina contains so many vitamins and minerals, it is like taking a complete multivitamin. You can buy spirulina in powder or tablet form. Check out The Top 5 Reasons You Need More Spirulina in Your Life and How to Sneak Spirulina into Tasty Recipes for a Nutrient Boost. Try it in this Tropical Green Spirulina Smoothie, Six Ingredient Spirulina Snackies and this Vegan Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream.
Agar-Agar is commonly used in vegan baking and in making vegan cheeses because of its thickening properties. It is sold in flake or solid form and unlike other algae, appears white. Use agar agar in this Almost Raw Panna Cotta Cream, Almond and Chamomile Panna Cotta, Vegan Rice Krispie Treats and Sliceable Vegan Cashew Cheese.
Now that you know all about sea veggies, how good they are for you and all the delicious recipes they can be used in, it’s time to grow your sea legs and jump in to the deep end. Before you know it, you’ll be cooking with sea veggies all the time. | 2019-04-26T12:38:56Z | https://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-food/cooking-with-sea-veggies/ |
Read what our adults' social work staff feel about their careers in Thurrock.
"I have lived in Thurrock all of my life and have spent my whole career working in Thurrock.
"The opportunities afforded to me over the years have enabled me to progress from being a social worker, a senior practitioner and then a manager in various settings in the authority. This has included secondment work in health areas, and training and support to enable my practice to develop.
"Over the years I have watched new social workers develop and become senior practitioners, some have moved to other areas but usually only after a significant time, and several have moved back!
"Being a small local authority affords us great networking opportunities with local resources and helps with good working relationships.
"I have always received good supervision and support, and in turn have provided supervision and support to others over the years, providing mentoring when needed to support individuals with specific needs.
"There is a lot going on in and around Thurrock and I have sometimes considered moving away but would miss being so near to London."
"My career in Social Work began late, I returned to studying in my late 30's and I qualified as a Social Worker in 2009. Having lived in the borough for 40 years I was keen to start my career here.
"I joined Thurrock Adult Social Care as a Newly Qualified Social Worker in the Older People's Mental Health Team. My initial thoughts on gaining the post were that of panic and uncertainty! I need not have worried. I was immediately enrolled in the Newly Qualified Social Work Programme – a provision that was not afforded to my peers working in nearby authorities.
"My experience from working in Thurrock is that, although you are encouraged to step outside your comfort zone, the support is always there. I have never felt alone.
"As a resident of Thurrock, I enjoy the fact that I live 15 minutes' drive from my workplace, this with the flexible working policy in place provides the possibility of a good work/life balance."
"In 1999 I decided to make a significant career change from the private sector to social care. My first role was as Thurrock Council's first male Day Care Assistant to work within dementia specialist day services.
"Shortly after I was supported to gain a social work qualification – training that was funded by Thurrock Council. Thurrock Council has always provided me with great professional support through its strong management, and I get excellent practice supervision, and personal support.
"I am now a Senior Practitioner Social Worker in adult social care, and lead practitioner for the Mental Capacity Act and deprivation of liberty safeguards. I was then supported to gain further qualifications. Being supported to continue professional development has always been one of the strengths of working for Thurrock Council.
"Thurrock is a relatively small unitary local authority, and this means that you get to know your colleagues well. The peer support that I have received since working at Thurrock is excellent. I think that it is testament to Thurrock that so many of my colleagues and I have chosen to remain working here." | 2019-04-19T05:05:56Z | https://www.thurrock.gov.uk/social-work-in-thurrock/what-our-adult-social-work-staff-say |

From the birth of Vision to the signing of the Sokovia Accords, the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron continue to send ripples through the Marvel franchise, and yet the film’s titular A.I. seems to have been relegated to the annals of MCU history. According to one fan theory, however, Ultron himself may have actually lasted far beyond his first appearance in the 2015 film.
In a new post on Reddit, user EmperorJoker argues – and probably with good reason – that the James Spader character had multiple methods of cheating death at the end of his ill-fated battle with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. For one thing, Ultron could have saved his consciousness in an unseen drone that stayed away from the film’s climactic battle. But the idea that really sends this post into further speculation is that Ultron may have somehow embedded himself in the mind of Vision.
We already know that Paul Bettany’s character is made from parts of Ultron, so it surely isn’t too much of a stretch from here to suggest that there could be traces of the character still living on in the android. What’s more, EmperorJoker argues that Ultron felt little need to continue with his war against humanity because he knew that a certain Mad Titan was on his way to finish the job for him. To theorize further, one way that Ultron may have found out about Thanos’ genocidal plans could have been through the mysterious Mind Stone, which was in the interplanetary conqueror’s possession years before it found its way into the head of Vision.
While it certainly looks like the MCU has long moved on from the main villain of Avengers: Age of Ultron, EmperorJoker’s theory generally comes across as a well-reasoned piece of speculation that could sit well with anyone who wishes there was still some part of this psychotic A.I. that persisted beyond his one-movie run. Of course, if this theory is legit, then you have to wonder if Ultron had a second escape plan for when Vision was brutally slain by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. | 2019-04-24T11:58:31Z | https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/avengers-age-ultron-theory-says-ultron-still-alive/ |
What should I use an extension ladder for in the garden?
In this week’s blog, we’re looking at yet another essential product for all your outdoor maintenance work. Last week, we covered the stepladder and its uses. This week, it’s the turn of the extension ladder – which is essential for a number of popular spring/summer jobs.
The extension ladder is a must for many jobs that require access to a significant height. When choosing your extension ladder, you’ll have the choice of a double extension ladder or triple one. Which one you pick will be entirely dependent on your height requirements and storage space – a triple ladder tends to be more compact and convenient to store.
With the temperatures having warmed up and the risk of showers having decreased, spring is a popular time to get all those jobs sorted.
When choosing your ladder, make sure you work out your ladder height requirements. Typically, you’ll need a ladder of around 5.8m to reach the window and walls of a two-storey home. For roof jobs, a ladder of 8.15m will suffice for a two-storey home. You’ll require more height for three-storey homes.
While it may be tempting to take advantage of your extension ladder’s height to trim your hedge, this is not recommended. Leaning an extension ladder into a hedge while trimming increase the risk of the ladder over balancing or falling through the hedge. This not only means a risk of a fall, you might also come into contact with the sharp edges of the cutter and cause yourself a serious injury.
Instead, we recommend a garden ladder for jobs of this sort, like the Henchman Platform Tripod Ladder with fully adjustable legs. Alternatively, depending on the height of your hedge, you can use a stepladder or a platform step.
For more tips on ladder safety, why not book onto our Ladders and Steps Training Course?
Give us a call on 01282 615517 for more information on the ladders listed in today’s blog. You can also get in contact with our Course Enquiries team on the same number to find out or book on to any one of our Safety Training courses.

We see college admissions exams such as the SAT as a critical tool – not a barrier – for our students, parents and teachers, as well as college admissions officers. Teachers and counselors in Patterson Joint Unified are provided with SAT data, which can be used to inform them how best to support students in reaching their academic goals. When our students take the SAT, they can be connected to college application fee waivers, Khan Academy’s official free, personalized test practice and extensive scholarship opportunities.
The way to ensure authentic equity in college admissions is to give all students the support and tools they need to pursue their college and career ambitions.
When college admissions tests are offered during the school day, instead of Saturday mornings when some students would be working, more students are able to achieve their fullest potential.
When school districts are working to level the field, that includes making sure all students have the support and accommodations they need. English learners taking the SAT are always provided appropriate accommodations, including access to testing instructions in their primary language, bilingual glossaries and, more recently, extended testing time.
All students with exceptional needs are given appropriate accommodations on the SAT as identified by their personal education team.
Leaders in the college admissions community recognize college admissions tests are an important part of a holistic admission process – one that considers test scores as one factor among many that can show a students’ true potential for success. But college admission is just one component of these exams’ utility.
College admissions exams provide highly useful data for teachers and administrators, not just admissions officers. College admissions tests are used nationwide as a complement to grades, in order to reliably predict college and career success and student achievement across socio-economic status, race and ethnicity without bias or potential inflation.
Patterson is diverse, inclusive and proud. Increasing access to important college admissions tests like the SAT – at no cost to the students – means Patterson Joint Unified students from every walk of life can seek their college and career dreams. This is an approach many districts across California are taking as we endeavor to provide students the tools they need to succeed.
Philip M. Alfano, Ed. D, is superintendent of Patterson Joint Unified School District. | 2019-04-25T11:59:44Z | https://www.modbee.com/opinion/article225511720.html |

Daniel, Emilia and Fabio, oh my!
It’s been a while since we last looked at some tropical cyclones with VIIRS. If you don’t keep up to date on tropical activity, you might not know there that have been a few. Granted, since Debby dumped a bunch of rain on Florida three weeks ago, the Atlantic basin has been pretty quiet. The East Pacific basin, however, has had one storm after another. The national media has largely ignored them since they have posed no threat to any landmasses. See this article from the L.A. times. Boring! Unless you can capture video of Jim Cantore struggling to stand upright, it isn’t a hurricane, right?
Wrong! First of all, eastern Pacific hurricanes affect some major shipping lanes. Second, and this is true of all hurricanes: they transport energy and moisture and help moderate the temperature imbalance between the tropics and mid-latitudes. They are important components of global energy transport.
In this post, we are going to compare the view of hurricanes provided by VIIRS against the view provided by GOES (specifically GOES-15). On 9 July 2012, there were two storms in the East Pacific: Daniel and Emilia.
GOES-15 visible image (channel 1) of Hurricane Daniel, taken 22:45 UTC 9 July 2012. Image courtesy John Knaff.
There isn’t a big difference between the two VIIRS channels, although you can see a bit more detail in the higher resolution (I-05) image.
GOES-15 visible image (channel 1) of Hurricane Emilia, taken 21:00 UTC 9 July 2012. Image courtesy John Knaff.
In addition to the resolution differences, there is also a time difference of ~15 minutes between the VIIRS images and the GOES images. If you were to overlap these images, you would see that Emilia rotated a bit during that time. Emilia was not willing to hold the same pose for that long when having her picture taken. Once again, the M-15 image from VIIRS looks pretty similar to the I-05 image, so there’s no pressing need to show it.
Finally, let’s compare GOES-15 with VIIRS on Hurricane Fabio, which formed about a week after Daniel and Emilia were hurricanes.
GOES-15 visible image (channel 1) of Hurricane Fabio, taken 20:30 UTC 15 July 2012. Image courtesy John Knaff.
The GOES and VIIRS images of Fabio were taken only 6 minutes apart, so there is less movement to impede the comparison.
According to legend, Popocatépetl was a great warrior whose girlfriend, Iztaccíhuatl, died because her father was a jerk who lied. (An alternate story is that it was a rival warrior who was a jerk who lied.) Either way, Iztaccíhuatl was erroneously told that Popocatépetl died in battle, which caused her to die of grief. When Popoca, as he was known to his buddies, returned to find out that she was dead, he was very sad. Reports on what followed differ, but Popoca either died of grief himself, or committed suicide at the thought of living without Iztaccíhuatl. To commemorate these events, the gods turned them both into mountains. To this day, the mountain Popocatépetl spews out rock and ash and fire either because he’s still mad at what happened, or because it is his way of looking out for his girlfriend.
The name Iztaccíhuatl literally means “White Woman,” and is the name of the snow-covered mountain ~40 miles southeast of Mexico City. Popocatépetl literally means “Smoking Mountain,” and is the name given to the volcano just to the south of Iztaccíhuatl. It is one of Mexico’s most active volcanoes. Ole’ Popoca has recently begun to remind us that he is mad (or eternally vigilant).
The above image is a false-color RGB composite of VIIRS channels I-01, I-02 and I-03 taken at 19:53 on 23 April 2012. The volcanoes and nearby urban centers have been identified and labelled. Pico de Orizaba, Popocatépetl, and Iztaccíhuatl are the first, second and third tallest mountains in Mexico, respectively, and are normally the only mountains in Mexico to be snow-covered year-round. The snow on top of Pico de Orizaba and Iztaccíhuatl is clearly visible in the image. Popocatépetl lost its snow during the 1990s when it became more active. But, you can see the cloud of ash and steam from the volcano in the image, which is not being blown around in the wind as much on this day. In fact, you can watch a time-lapse video of the steam and ash cloud from a Mexican government webcam from around the time of the Suomi-NPP overpass where you can see the clouds produced/influenced by The Smoking Mountain.
In the above images, the red arrows are pointing to the same spot – the top of Popocatépetl. The upper image is from the DNB at 07:58 UTC on 20 April 2012, the lower image is from I-01 at 19:53 UTC on 23 April 2012 (the same time as the RGB composite). If you were to overlay the images on top of each other, you would see that the light source visible in the DNB image is right at the top of the volcano. Since there are no towns up there, and people surrounding the volcano have been evacuated, the light is coming from the erupting lava.
The upper image is the I-04 image. Channel I-04, at 3.74 µm, is very sensitive to hot spots such as wildfires or, in this case, volcanic eruptions. The dark (warm) spot identified is the heat signature of the molten rock that is erupting from the volcano. The cooler (brighter) ash cloud is visible in the I-04 image, but it shows up more clearly in the I-05 (11.45 µm) image underneath it.
Someone compiled a time-lapse series of images (14 April – 22 April) of Popocatépetl from a “NASA satellite” (presumably GOES-13) and posted the video to YouTube, which you can watch here.
Given its proximity to Mexico City, Popocatépetl is on the list of dangerous volcanoes to watch out for. The folks at WIRED are keeping their eye on it. Hopefully, Ole’ Popoca is just letting off a little steam, and not planning to get real violent. His girlfriend died a long time ago – it’s time to just let it go already. | 2019-04-23T14:15:32Z | http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/projects/npp/blog/index.php/tag/goes/ |

Dr. J. R. Albani, Head of the Laboratoire de Biophysique Moléculaire (University of Lille 1, France) wishes to recruit a fellow researcher for a period of two years. Dr Albani, a specialist of fluorescence spectroscopy and of proteins structure and dynamics, has bought recently a fluorescence lifetime instrument (a TCSPC instrument) and is thus developing new programs for studying proteins properties using fluorescence lifetimes measurements. Two subjects are already available, one on myoglobin and the other on α1-acid glycoprotein. The purpose of the two subjects is to understand the relation between the structure and the dynamics of the protein with its function. Myoglobin binds small molecules such as oxygen while α1-acid glycoprotein binds ligands such as progesterone and propranolol. For myoglobin, do protein dynamics play any important role in binding of small ligands such as oxygen? In fact, structural modification observed upon oxygen binding and their importance could be the results of the internal motions of the proteins. Binding of a ligand could simply be dependent on its diffusion within the protein and thus on the structural flexibility of the protein. These dynamics concern the local and global motions of the protein matrix and the dynamics of the porphyrin embedded in the heme pocket. For α1-acid glycoprotein, what would be the role of the protein pocket structure and dynamics in the ligands binding process? How does the binding process affect the structure and the dynamics of α1-acid glycoprotein in different areas far from the binding site? The two proteins contain a pocket where ligand binding occurs which makes possible to use the same techniques and method in the conception of our projects. Dynamics within different areas of the two proteins can be studied by performing oxygen quenching experiments on fluorophores with different fluorescence lifetimes and bound to the pocket. The rationale for this approach is that a short fluorescence lifetime of the fluorophore compared to a longer fluorescence lifetime of another fluorophore would allow probing a dynamic region closer to the pocket. In fact, it is the lifetime of the excited state of the fluorophore, which is the determining factor in revealing the existence of different domains. While the quenching process retains its dynamic character, the details of this quenching in different domains of the protein as investigated by the oxygen migration process are fundamentally different. For example, the 17.8-ns lifetime of the protoporphyrin IX emission is sufficient to permit oxygen situated in any part of the protein at the instant of fluorophore excitation to reach the porphyrin during the persistence of the excited state; therefore the calculated migration rate k for oxygen through the protein represents an average value for all domains of the protein. For zinc protoporphyrin, on the other hand, the emission lifetime is shorter (2.1 ns) and during the persistence of the excited state, only the few oxygen molecules present in the region of the protein directly surrounding the fluorophore are involved in the quenching process. Thus, with zinc protoporphyrin, we are going to probe the diffusion of oxygen molecules within the pocket and of the amino acids of the pocket itself. However, when tin porphyrin will be used to study the oxygen diffusion, one should expect to obtain information on the dynamics inside the pocket itself. Some of the fluorophores that are going to be used are: protoporphyrin IX (mean lifetime = 17.8 ns), TNS (mean lifetime = 9 ns), calcofluor (mean lifetime = 4.5 ns), Zinc porphyrin (mean lifetime = 2.1 ns) and Tin porphyrin (mean lifetime = 1.2 ns). Finally, Performing static fluorescence anisotropy and anisotropy decay experiment with these different fluorophores in the absence of oxygen and in different conditions of temperature and sucrose would allow us study the strength of the fluorophore interaction with the pocket at different distances from the contact point. Thus, parameters such as the activation energy and the rotational correlation time that are characteristics of the structure of the studied protein area can be put into evidence.
Therefore, we can recruit two persons so that each of them can work on one protein.

THE NEW TERRITORIES 新界 - The New Territories spans 86% of Hong Kong’s land mass and is home to half its population. It was the last of the three main regions to fall under british rule in 1898. It offers a hearty serving of Hong Kong’s cultural and natural beauty with some of the best hiking trails, ancient walled villages, a wetland nature reserve (home to a number of endangered species ) and over 200 islands. - We spent the majority of our childhood visits to Hong Kong staying with our Great Grandparents in a village in Tai Po, a district of The New Territories. They spoke Hakka, a Chinese dialect closer to Cantonese than Mandarin. My sister and I were only fluent in Chin-glish, so mum translated back and forth between us. They were kind and gentle souls. A life of hard graft and labour had shaped their bodies and how they moved, but could still squat for days!

Did you know that even if you have a home warranty program you are still required to properly maintain your appliances in order for your warranty program to be in good standing?
The majority of appliance failures, (primarily with our refrigerators, dryers and whole house cooling system), are caused by poorly maintained appliances. These systems build heat or are designed to dissipate heat. So if the coils are clogged with lint or debris and cannot properly do their job they are considered to be poorly maintained. Poor maintained appliances use more electricity to do the job they are designed to do and you stand a good chance of being turned down for warranty reimbursement for failure to maintain your appliance.
Clean the interior cabinet and internal ducts of your dryer and inspect exhaust pipe from dryer to wall. If we see that there may be some blockage of this pipe in the wall we will recommend a company and inform you of the need to clean this piping as well.
Clean the refrigerator coils, remove condenser cavity covers inspect and clean condenser fan motor.
Note that Large built in such as Viking, Sub Zero that have to be removed for service we do not do. You will have to call your local dealer for this service.

The BRAIN Center offers unique, specialized brain-based neurological and musculoskeletal rehabilitation therapies to treat a wide-variety of conditions. We’re very different than other healthcare clinics you may have been to. Therefore, we deliver very different results.
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries can be debilitating injuries with lifelong consequences. Most concussions resolve on their own in a short period of time. When symptoms do not fully resolve, those that remain are classified as post-concussion syndrome.
These individuals may experience severe headaches, dizziness, light-headedness and vertigo, crippling chronic fatigue, painful light and sound sensitivity, and incapacitating brain fog. They may suffer from memory loss, and even struggle to find the words to communicate. Multi-tasking becomes impossible, and even the completion of a simple task may become challenging. Often these symptoms never resolve, despite extensive therapy from numerous physicians and therapists.
While there are many ways the brain may be damaged, often many of the symptoms seen in post-concussion syndrome and traumatic brain injuries derive from a failure of integration within the brain. The primary function of your brain is to make sense of where you are in the environment, so that you can adapt to the world appropriately. Your brain does this with visual, vestibular (inner ear), and proprioceptive (muscle and joint) pathways. It needs to use all of these pathways simultaneously to create a coherent unconscious picture of where the world is, and where you are in relation to gravity and the environment.
These pathways include long, thin, and fragile fibers that project from all over the brain down into the brainstem. This is unfortunately the area that takes the most torque and stress from the multivectorial shearing forces that develop with rapid acceleration and rotation of the head. This disrupts these pathways and damages their integration. They may then have difficulty knowing where their body is in relation to the world, and the brain must struggle to resolve the mismatch between the senses. This can be profoundly fatiguing, as it robs resources from cognitive pathways, and provokes the majority of post-concussive symptoms.
The BRAIN Center works to find solutions to these complex neurological problems using cutting-edge diagnostics and examination procedures to find the root of your dysfunction. We utilize various neurodiagnostic technologies to quantify all of the relevant aspects of your visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems. More importantly, we analyze how they work together, in order to determine what circumstances provoke their failure and devise strategies to make them work in unison again. Lastly, we determine the precise fatigue thresholds of these pathways, and create programs to rebuild your functional endurance.
Vertigo is a sensation that can make you feel as though you are spinning, tilting, swaying back and forth, being pulled in one or several directions, or generally unstable. Dizziness is a sensation of light-headedness that can make one feel as if they might faint and lose consciousness. Both these conditions may cause nausea, headaches, heart palpitations, ringing in your ears, inability to hold your eyes still, vomiting, and a feeling of being unable to sit up or stand without passing out. Together they can range from a mild annoyance to a severely debilitating problem.
Vertigo is often caused by a problem with the vestibular system. This includes the inner ear and vestibular nerves. The problem can also involve any of the brainstem, cerebellar, and brain regions that receive inner ear input. Sometimes the mechanism might even be visually-induced. When the input from the vestibular system does not match the input from the eyes or the muscles, this sensory mismatch creates the inappropriate perception of motion.
Orthostatic hypotension is a form of dizziness that develops when people shift their position towards being more vertical. People often feel like they are about to pass out during sit-to-stand transitions. This can involve poor coordination between the vestibular system and the brainstem mechanisms that regulate blood flow to the brain.
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a more severe orthostatic issue, wherein people lose the ability to properly regulate heart rate appropriately. This is a common consequence of traumatic brain injuries, but can also be the result of viral infections, mold exposure, chemical sensitivities, and other types of autoimmune conditions.
Traumatic Brain Injuries frequently result in vertigo and dizziness. Vertigo is one of the most common symptoms of an injured brain. Vertigo can also be the result of neck injuries. The forces that create TBI also commonly damage the vestibular system and the neck muscles and joints. This can create severe sensory mismatches. This can affect some or all of these systems simultaneously.
Mal De Debarquement Syndrome is a type of vertigo that creates a rocking sensation, as if the individual is constantly on a boat. This is the result of a mismatch between the two types of vestibular receptors, the Otoliths and the Vestibular Canals, along with dysfunction in the brain and brainstem systems that make these receptors work together.
Vertigo can also be the result of migraine headaches, or more insidious brain problems such as tumor or stroke. In some cases, dizziness and vertigo can be a consequence of prescription medications and their interactions, or even from certain dietary supplements.
At The BRAIN Center our goal is to rehabilitate the brain and receptor mechanisms that may be creating the mismatch, and make them integrate properly with other systems. In other cases, our goal is to teach the brain to adapt to the impaired reflexes, and teach it to rely on other mechanisms to maintain balance and decrease the vertigo sensations.
Treatment starts with a comprehensive neurological examination, followed by cutting-edge neurodiagnostic testing. We use several advanced technologies to map and graph the function of every system involved in your vertigo, including important visual reflexes, vestibular function, and the feedback from your muscles and joints. We assess how these systems integrate in several different balance conditions. This allows us to precisely identify and quantify which systems are creating the mismatch, how they integrate, and the exact circumstances under which their integration fails.
We then create a neurorehabilitation program that is unique to your condition, and specific to your individual pattern of dysfunction and fatigability.
At The BRAIN Center, we perform comprehensive evaluations which include advanced technology to assess the functionality of different areas of the brain and how each area of the brain communicates with one another.
As a consequence of the evaluation, a customized management plan is created with the goal of increasing the strength and efficiency of specific connections in the brain which may be underdeveloped and/or not working optimally.
Neurodegenerative disease is an umbrella term for a range of conditions which primarily affect the neurons in the human brain and spinal cord. Some examples of neurodegenerative conditions are Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, Parkinson’s disease and other Parkinson’s related disorders, prion disease and other neuro-infectious disorders, motor neuron diseases, Huntington disease, spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), and spinal muscular atrophy. Currently, many neurodegenerative disorders are incurable and debilitating conditions that continue to progress over time.
At The BRAIN Center, we assess the functionality of different areas of the brain. This allows us to understand which areas of the brain are still viable and functioning versus other areas which may have been damaged.
A customized management plan is then implemented to help strengthen the available brain circuits with the hope of increasing function and slowing progression.
Commonly, we co-manage patients with their medical providers, and we focus on improving functions such as balance/fall prevention, walking/gait, coordination, memory, speech, dizziness, visual problems, digestion, fatigue, pain and a variety of movement disorders.
When conventional pain management interventions fail, patients are often left without direction where to turn next. While in some cases these offer relief, there are still a large number of pain syndromes that persist without relief.
So, where do you turn if you’re one of the many individuals with chronic pain syndromes which have not responded to conventional pain management therapy?
Regardless of the location or cause of chronic pain, many patients will develop altered patterns of brain activity, which may result in occupational disabilities, insomnia, cognitive deficits, depression, anxiety, and ultimately a diminished quality of life.
The BRAIN Center utilizes a combination of neuroscience, physical modalities, biotechnology and pain management approaches to effectively treat a wide range of common pain conditions.
By treating the body and brain simultaneously, clients often experience unusually rapid reductions in pain and improvements in function, even after a long-history of chronic pain and multiple, prior surgeries.
Migraines can seem complicated, but they often can be very simple. There is only one main cause for migraines: Neurological Dysfunction. However, there are 3 main triggers: Dietary, Musculoskeletal and/or Hormonal. To treat migraines effectively, you need to address both the cause and all 3 triggers at the same time.
Hormonal: The hormonal correlation with migraine is well known, but how to address hormones is still an ongoing area of debate. Many of our patients are prescribed birth control or hormone replacement therapies (HRT) which can be helpful in some cases. Unfortunately, there is also research concerning the long-term effects of these treatments which may lead to other health complications. Many female patients report flares in symptoms around the beginning of their cycle, which is why estrogen is frequently prescribed.
However, we often find low estrogen to be associated with a bigger problem. Often migraine patients have an increased response to stress. This causes resources required for estrogen production to instead be converted to stress hormones. Therefore, The BRAIN Center utilizes a ‘top down’ approach when assessing hormones by performing comprehensive hormonal panels to identify the underlying cause.
Dietary: Healthy diet and removal of common ‘triggers’ is essential for migraine treatment. However, many patients often report having tried every type of dietary modification without results. It’s important to understand that nutritional changes are often just a piece of the puzzle. For some, this may produce profound outcomes. For others, there are additional underlying factors which must be addressed. So, if you’re one of the many migraine sufferers who have not responded to dietary modification there is still hope.
Musculoskeletal: Increased musculoskeletal stress on the body will make a person more likely to experience migraine. Therefore, research shows positive outcomes for migraine with almost any type of manual therapy. An important consideration, however, is that different types of manual therapy can have a very different impact of the neurological structures central to the onset your migraines. No two patients are the same, therefore, treatment recommendations must be individually tailored. This is why a thorough functional examination is important to understanding which treatment interventions will be most beneficial.
Neurological: Individuals with migraine have a known genetic predisposition. It has been outlined that migraineurs have an altered brain state different from individuals who do not experience migraine, even when they are not having symptoms. Groups of cells in the brain are more predisposed to fatigue or fail in these circumstances, leading to various symptoms associated with migraine. For example, if your genetic predisposition is in the area associated with sight, you’ll have visual symptoms. If this is an area associated with balance, you can experience dizziness. The underlying pathology is basically the same, however it impacts different parts of the brain and brainstem.
To fix migraines it's essential to identify the areas of the brain that are functionally not as healthy as others and stimulate that part of the brain at an appropriate level. Too much stimulation can actually lead to a migraine, and too little won’t make much of an impact. This is why The BRAIN Center uses a graduated approach in which some people will be given a great amount of stimulation right away, and some get very little.
The key is to continually strengthen these parts of the brain. The other aspect of the brain has to do with injury and general neurological dysfunction. It is very common, for example, to see someone who gets in a car accident or has had a concussion to have a noticeable increase in migraines. It’s not that these injuries caused migraine, but the stress on the brain and nervous system makes them more likely to have migraine. This can also happen with vestibular imbalances, difficulty with eye or head movements, or difficulty with motion. Improving these aspects will help move you down the spectrum of migraine to have less and less. | 2019-04-24T04:15:25Z | https://thebraincenterohio.com/who-we-work-with |
Because WMI manages the object, semisynchronous mode is more secure than asynchronous mode. However, if you use semisynchronous mode with more than 1,000 instances, instance retrieval can monopolize the available resources, which can degrade the performance of the program or script and the computer using the program or script. Each object takes up the necessary resources until the memory is released.
To work around this condition, you can call the method with the iFlags parameter set with the wbemFlagForwardOnly and wbemFlagReturnImmediately flags to instruct WMI to return a forward-only SWbemObjectSet. A forward-only SWbemObjectSet eliminates the performance problem caused by a large data set by releasing the memory after the object is enumerated.
I wanted to put this somewhere, because I’m sure I’ll forget.

Organised crime related deaths in Mexico reached record highs in 2017, according to the watchdog agency Semáforo Delictivo and Lantia Consultores and reporting from InSight Crime. In part, the rise in deaths has been attributed to inter-criminal group disputes over control of territories and trafficking corridors, and the splintering of some groups leading to inter-factional fighting. But how best to counter the explosions of violence so often associated with these shifting dynamics in criminal markets? And do traditional counter-crime strategies sometimes serve to entrench the relationship between organised crime and violence?
Previous research has called into question the effectiveness of ‘kingpin strategies’, or ‘targeting of high value individuals’ in bringing about violence reduction. While such strategies may represent the most direct way of disrupting criminal organisations and effectively capture the headlines – such as the extradition of captured Sinaloa cartel leader Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán early last year – the resultant breakdown in organisational hierarchies and the creation of power vacuums may have unintended, and deadly, results.
A new policy brief from Justice in Mexico illustrates this phenomenon in action, through an assessment of the recent resurgence of violent crime in the border city of Tijuana. Homicide rates in the city have surged since 2015, with an 86% leap between 2016 and 2017. Alongside this trend lies a high rate of impunity relative to other areas of the country and (perhaps consequently) an enormous lack of social trust: 87% of Tijuana residents say they mistrust the majority of other people.
The analysis suggests that the homicide trend can be linked to the breakdown of a previously existing pax mafiosa between the Sinaloa cartel and the AFO, the dominant groups in the region, which had maintained stable levels of violence. This was sparked by the removal of several ‘kingpins’ as a series of arrests targeted AFO top command in, including alleged leader leader Fernando “El Ingeniero” Sánchez Arellano in June 2014. Inter-group clashes emerged, and following the arrest of Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman in 2015 and his subsequent extradition, violence has continued to intensify. This includes both clashes between the rival organisations and the emergence of new groups vying for power, alongside a general lack of hierarchical control among the key cartels. This is reflected in the demographics of recent homicides, which have generally been perpetrated both by and against young, poor male members of marginalised communities – key groups recruited into organised crime – and concentrated in a few key neighbourhoods. The problem facing law enforcement is presented as multiple, smaller-scale conflicts rather than organisations operating in large, controlled blocs.
Among other recommendations, the report suggests a shift of focus in counter-organised crime policy. Dependence on the traditional go-to ‘kingpin strategies’ it argues, should be reduced, since the ‘net reduction in the capacity of criminal organizations does not appear to be worth the thousands of intentional homicides and injuries that follows as a result’. Instead, law enforcement resources should be selectively targeted at individuals who engage in highly violent activities such as the assassination of police officers and mass shootings. Such a strategy may, it is argued, better maximise the use of limited police resources.
But what might this recommendation offer in practice? To borrow terminology more commonly used in terms of drug policy, such a shift would represent a move towards a ‘harm reduction’ approach to organised crime, as it focuses on countering the effects of its presence which so damage the wider Tijuana community, in terms of intimidation, social fragmentation and so on. More broadly, violence and threats of violence play an intrinsic role in the activities of organised crime groups, such as securing territory and trafficking corridors, extortion, and ensuring agreements are kept. Outside a legal framework, violence provides a primary means of exerting power and assuring dominance. Increasing the risks of arrest and imprisonment associated with the use of violence counters an essential part of organised criminals’ modus operandi, and may offer an effective route to countering their progress.However, directly targeting the most lethal and dangerous members of powerful organised crime groups poses risks of increased clashes with law enforcement, which could in turn prompt a spiral of the kind of militarised,hardline responses to countering crime seen widely elsewhere.
‘Expanding the policy toolkit’, to create a more disaggregated evidence and analysis approach to countering organised crime that avoids the pitfalls of the traditional ‘kingpin strategies’ may be no bad thing.
For this reason, the Global Initiative is piloting efforts to develop an assassinations monitor, Assassinations Watch, that maps the use of organised crime and criminal ‘hits’ as a marker of criminal violence and its impact. Initial studies in South Africa and Nigeria are soon to be published.
Fresh analysis and new insight offers the way forward in the global fight against organised crime and violence. | 2019-04-18T20:27:25Z | https://globalinitiative.net/placing-violence-at-the-centre-new-paradigms-for-approaching-organised-crime-in-tijuana/ |

Racing legend Russell Coutts, winner of the last three America's Cups, will be taking part in a match race at the Biograd Boat and Charter Show on the weekend of October 21st to 22nd against a Croatian team.
Cro-a-sail, a Croatian racing association that aims to give top Croatian sailors the opportunity to compete amongst the best in the world, is amongst just a handful of organisations that have so far taken delivery of the RC 44. They’ll be pitting their wits against Russell’s team at the Biograd match race.

Croatia Online Air Travel News - The Zadar Region Opens Up?
We have it on reasonably good authority that Ryanair will soon be announcing flights to Zadar. The attention given to Split Airport, by British Airways and the low cost airlines, has created a huge surge of interest in the Split Area. Even though Zadar is only a two hour drive away from Split, the Zadar region has suffered as a result. The availability of cheap flights and the proximity of airports are big factors in second home purchases and also, for example, in deciding where to pick up a charter boat, so this news can only be good for tourism and related activities around Zadar.
Zadar itself has a lot to offer and the islands around it – Ugljan, Pašman, Dugi Otok and the Kornati islands - are much more “Croatia as it once was” than, for example, Brać and Hvar. Pending the announcement of the schedules, if you have some spare time, take the coast road from Split up to Zadar, via Rogoznica, Primošten, Šibenik and Biograd and find out what you’ve been missing!
Readers of our last posting will be aware that our blogger hosts were having some troubles with picture loading. The problem seems to have been solved so here are a couple of pictures to go with the previous posting - Hotel Pasike and the new language school in Trogir. See below for more information.
A new language school has opened up in Trogir, co-owned by the very dedicated and patient Ivana Rogulj, who has been assisting Croatia Online’s editor in the art of learning Croatian. It’s called Katedra and located in a classic building on the south west corner of the Cathedral Square in Trogir. Apart from teaching Croatian, the school offers courses in English, Italian, German, French, Russian and Spanish. Katedra, Gradska 35, Trogir, is well signed from the square so check it out if you are in the area and in need a new challenge for the autumn. More details soon.
Just by the new pedestrian bridge, on the mainland sign of town, Hotel Pašike and the restaurant of the same name deserve full marks for trying to offer something new. The restaurant has been around for a while but had a facelift in 2004 when the owners decided to convert their old townhouse into a family hotel. The hotel bedrooms are tastefully furnished with antiques but offer all mod cons. Prices vary from 800 kunas for a double room to 1200 kunas for the apartment based on 2 people sharing in the high season. The restaurant has a large and colourful terrace with tables and chairs draped in gold, green, brown and yellow covers. Waitresses are dressed in traditional costume, we listened to a great guitar and mandolin duo, and the varied menu has a number of traditional local dishes. It was packed when we visited on Saturday night and that’s probably not the best day of the week to try out a new place – the two very friendly waitresses seemed a little overstretched, the food was ok rather than great, and it’s a little pricier than many of its neighbours. However the customers seemed to be enjoying themselves and there was a constant stream of new arrivals for the hotel. Go to www.hotelpasike.com for more information.
It seems that the Croatian Government is looking to regulate real estate agencies quite severely in the coming months. A one month course and exams will be amongst the requirements necessary to gain a licence. The details are still being ironed out so we’ll be updating you on this once we have more information.
Hopefully the weather where you are is better than the weather in the Split area for the last few days - thunder, lightening, strong south winds and heavy rain. Looks like there is more to come but we're not complaining too much as, just before, we had over a week of almost perfect summer weather and a lovely warm Adriatic to swim in.
The main tourist season seems to have ended as dramatically as it started. One day the beaches are packed and the next day virtually empty. It will be interesting to see if there are enough seasonal bars and restaurants open to cater for the continuing high quantity of international flights. The stormy August weather and airport security problems can’t have helped the tourist industry statistics, and anecdotal evidence suggests that those in the front line may be disappointed with the success of this year’s season so far. However it’s difficult to judge whether that’s because expectations were much higher this year, the takings were really down, or Croatians in the tourist industry share a similar pessimistic disposition to farmers! The statistics will provide some harder evidence in due course but, with some tourism still operating under grey market conditions, statistical evidence can only be partially conclusive. We’re in the process of trying to gather a range of facts and figures, as well as more anecdotal feedback, and will report back when we can draw some meaningful conclusions. In the meantime we'd be delighted to hear feedback from readers. | 2019-04-19T18:56:36Z | http://croatiaonline.blogspot.com/2006/09/ |

Sampling and laboratory testing is the only conclusive method of identifying the presence of asbestos. The result provided by the laboratory is a record of the asbestos or non-asbestos content of the sample piece provided for analysis. Visual only asbestos assessments cannot be relied upon, regardless of how experienced the person carrying out an asbestos assessment may be, the assessment will not be credible unless sample testing for asbestos of suspect material (if any) is conducted. Remember, any building built or renovated prior to 1990 has the possibility of containing ‘suspect material’.
It is the Foundation’s firm belief, and recommendation, that anything to do with testing and/or handling potential or known asbestos containing products is best left to fully trained and licensed professionals – handling deteriorating or damaged asbestos containing material (ACM) incorrectly, may have fatal consequences many years down the track.
Note: It is illegal in the ACT to DIY asbestos sampling.
Be warned: Even after a property has been fully assessed and all suspect material tested, and any known asbestos or asbestos known materials or products have been removed by a licenced professional, all due care should still be taken as it is not always possible to find every source of asbestos! You should be particularly careful when working around current or ‘old’ wet areas where ACMs may be hidden behind false walls and ceilings; wall tiles and cladding, and under all descriptions of flooring.
The Bernie Banton Foundation is not accredited to provide advice. The following information is provided for assistance only – it should not be relied upon to fully negate the dangers, or eliminate the risks associated with the task of sampling and testing potential asbestos containing material. The information is offered in the hope it will enlighten you about the dangers, legalities, intricacies and complications involved in the task. If you feel you must do your own testing of material for asbestos, before taking any samples please read the following information carefully.
Note: Do not attempt under any circumstances to DIY testing of friable (loose fibrous or soft-bonded) material. Friable asbestos means any asbestos containing material that can be crumbled, pulverised, or reduced to powder by hand pressure – such as: loose or fibrous backing to floor coverings; insulation in ceilings; sprayed on, or spongy insulation common around pipework, boilers etc.; rope insulation material; or material that is already in a loose fibrous form. This may also include previously non-friable (hard-bonded) asbestos containing material that becomes broken or damaged by mechanical force – CAUTION – Working with friable asbestos containing material can be extremely dangerous, it is illegal for any person without an appropriate licence to handle, or work on any friable asbestos containing material.
Sampling involves collection of a sample of the suspect material that is not bigger than a ten cent piece. You should be aware, asbestos fibres are colourless and can be as small as 5 microns (invisible to the naked eye) in thickness – you must use a safe sampling process. In the sampling process the production of air borne fibres must be prevented.
Prior to taking the sample you should ensure you are clean-shaven and fit and wear an Asbestos Sampling Personal Protection Kit. This kit should consist of disposable asbestos rated: • P2 facemask; • asbestos rated full body coverall suit [If the arm and/or leg cuffs are loose fitting, wrap duct tape around them to form an airtight seal]; • goggles; • latex gloves; and • boot covers. Note: keep them fitted during the collection and bagging activity and decontamination process. You should also have; plastic drop sheets; press seal bags; long nosed pointed pliers; hammer and 1cm wide sharp chisel; duct tape; asbestos rated waste bags; PVC glue; and marker pen.
Before taking a sample, ensure the area is clear of all other people; if inside shut windows and doors, turn off fans, AC units, heaters etc., if outside only sample on a still day; place a plastic drop sheet under the area to be sampled; be sure to damp the sampling area with water, using a spray bottle.
Clean the tools to be used with wet wipes prior to and between sampling to minimise cross contamination. Use the pliers to separate the sample, if no edge is visible or accessible use the hammer and chisel to nick a small sample off. When you have collected the sample(s), double bag each individual sample in press seal bags, ensuring to label them identifying the location you took the individual sample(s) from. Any exposed edges from where you took the sample should be sealed – with PVC glue.
Note: Do not leave the room (if you are inside) or move off the plastic drop sheet. You have not finished until you have completed the decontamination cleaning of your tools and the area around and beneath where you took the sample from by cleaning with wet-wipes and safely depositing all wipes and other waste material in the asbestos waste bag(s). Once finished, carefully damp yourself and the drop sheet down with water using the plastic spray bottle, place the drop sheet in the asbestos waste bag, then remove your Asbestos Sampling Personal Protection Kit, leaving the latex gloves and then the facemask to last and place all articles in asbestos waste bag(s). Close each bag by tying off individually with duct tape, seal the lot together, clearly label as containing asbestos, and then dispose of at your nearest authorised asbestos disposal facility.
Then take the sample(s) to your nearest authorised NATA testing facility for testing.
As a general rule, if you think the material is asbestos or contains asbestos – treat it as if it is asbestos until proven one way or the other through laboratory testing. | 2019-04-19T16:40:53Z | https://www.berniebanton.com.au/asbestos-awareness/working-around-asbestos/sampling-and-testing-potential-asbestos-containing-materials/ |
Decided to illustrate the cast of one of my all-time favorite games, Mega Man 3. I may have this on hand at Dragon Con (where I’ll be just a regular attendee but I’ll have some prints with me that you can buy if you stop me and ask about them), but I’ll definitely be putting it up on my Etsy store afterward.
I personally think Mega Man 3 is the best of the series. The bosses are quirky, the music is great, and the addition of the slide feature improved Mega Man’s mobility greatly. It was before the ability to charge sort of muddied things up, and since I’m a compulsive charger, I never get to hear the end of that damn charging noise, so 3 doesn’t have that holding it back. Also, this is the game that introduced Rush!
I still have to beat this game.
Great things do come in 3s. Megaman 9 is my favorite of the Megamans, and its cardinal number is 3 squared! In addition, Jewel Man is the best robot master, and his DRN number is 69, which is 3 times 23, both of which end in 3!
...not to impose my opinions, of course, I just happen to feel really strongly about this.
Megaman 3 was rather good . Playing it on Wily Wars for the Sega Genesis it became awkward compared to the NES original. The graphics were better but the music became awful and clunky. I'm not even touching the controls and poor they were for the port. So, if you're going to play 3 better grab the original and superior NES version.
AH! I love your take on Mega Man, man!
Cool rendition of them man, it looks great!
Don't forget more stages because of those Doc Robots harnessing the powers of the Mega Man 2 bosses. MM3 felt like it had the most content out of the entire series.
Yes, I totally agree with you! All that extra value. It's almost like playing MM3 and 2 in one game.
Top Spin is the lamest power though.
It is the absolute worst. I can't even figure out how to use it without getting damaged.
And you have to use it against Gamma, the peacekeeping robot.
Wouldn't it had been awesome if you could get the MM2 powers from the Doc Robots? Why stop with eight powers?
Eh! Ten games and they still haven't broken tradition. | 2019-04-20T13:48:49Z | https://www.deviantart.com/drewgreen/art/Great-Things-Come-In-3s-324292227 |
Thanks to a grant by the Max Kade Foundation, the Institute is able to support ten outstanding students taking part in language programs offered by Indiana University in Germany and Austria. Indiana high school students and IU undergraduates with the highest academic achievement receive up to $1,000 to help pay for the cost of travel.
Five of the scholarships usually support IU undergraduate students taking part in the programs in Graz or Freiburg (full-year only). Students should indicate their interest in being considered for one of these scholarships when they apply for the program through the Office of Overseas Study.
The remaining five scholarship are awarded to high school students attending the Indiana University Honors Program in Foreign Language in Graz, Austria. All students admitted to the program will automatically be considered for the scholarship. | 2019-04-18T20:52:20Z | http://germanic.indiana.edu/institute/travel.shtml |
Paddling students is still legal in a third of the country. Kentucky legislators want to ban it.
As a 10th-grader in Jefferson County, Ky., Tina was caught cutting the lunch line. She would be disciplined, a school official told her, but he gave her a choice: detention or two “licks,” a sugarcoated term for two strikes with a wooden paddle.
A male faculty member brought the teen, who was dressed in a cheerleading uniform, into an office and spanked her bottom with a paddle.
Tina Bojanowski’s memory was made more than 30 years ago, yet in a handful of states — including Kentucky — it seems the times have not changed, as the practice is still legal there. Now a member of the state legislature, Rep. Tina Bojanowski (D) is supporting a bill to prohibit corporal punishment.
“When someone is doing something wrong, the most important thing is to change their behavior. There are more effective measures to change students’ behavior than striking them,” Riley, a former high school principal, told The Washington Post.
There’s been a national downward trend in corporal punishment in schools, according to research by Kids Count Data Center. In 2016, the Obama administration called for an end to the practice in all states and school districts. Thirty-one states have barred the practice, but 19 still permit it, Riley said.
In Kentucky, 17 school districts permit corporal punishment. According to research done by the Kids Count Data Center, during the 2017-2018 academic year, there were 452 reported instances of such punishment in the state.
Of those 17 districts, five accounted for 85 percent of cases. Bell County reported 129 incidents, the highest in Kentucky for the academic year. Clinton County, the second highest, reported 128 incidents, a figure more than seven times the 17 incidents reported during 2016-17. Neither county schools superintendent responded to The Post for comment.
Pulaski and Harlan counties reported increases in instances of corporal punishment, to 67 and 30 cases, respectively.
Riley presented the legislation to the state House Education Committee earlier in February, but the bill was not voted on. Similar bills were also introduced in 2017 and 2018 but not passed.
The Kentucky school districts that permit paddling are predominantly in rural areas, according to Riley. Their legislators who oppose the bill argue they want to protect against government overreach. “They say that discipline should be left to local school board, not state government,” Riley said.
With eight days left in the legislative session, Riley said, H.B. 202 is unlikely to be voted on imminently. But, he added, “I’m going to keep proposing until it gets passed." | 2019-04-20T03:36:09Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2019/02/28/paddling-students-is-still-legal-one-third-country-kentucky-lawmakers-want-ban-it/ |
Save me from myself. My friend Jeff is selling his 1989 BMW 750iL. He's been talking about doing it for a year or so, but couldn't bear to part with it. Now he's serious. I've lusted after this car for as long as he's owned it. I want to own it.
When new, this car sold for over $70,000.00. In 2009, with dollars adjusted for inflation, this car would be pushing $100,000.00+. Not a lightweight car, it is still able to reach 60 MPH in 7.4 seconds. It featured every possible convenience and comfort feature you could imagine in 1989.
Jeff's car has 214,000 miles on it (maybe a few more as he's is still driving it). It's starting to show its age. There is a bit of rust on the door bottoms, the headliner is starting to droop and two cracks recently appeared in the dash. It's not a show car, but a really fun driver.
Mechanically, what can I say? Jeff is, without a doubt, the best foreign car mechanic I've ever met. He's treated this car the same way he's treated his Ferrari, BMW 5 Series and Land Rover. Preventive maintenance is his thing. (Which often gets us into a few arguments when he works on my cars... Me: "Jeff! It's not broken, why replace it?" Jeff: "It's going to break sometime, we might as well replace it now.") The oil and filter have been changed every 3,000 miles and Jeff has a spreadsheet showing every repair he's done (Of course he does - he has a spread sheet on every car he's worked on, including mine, friends of mine - cars he may have only seen once or twice - and, of course, customer's cars.) and a folder of every receipt for every part. The car had around 130,000 miles on it when Jeff bought it. The amount of work and parts he's put into it (including replacing the troublesome and expensive transmission) is mind boggling.
The car uses about a quart of oil every 1000 miles or so, which is not too bad for a car with 214,000 miles on it. The A/C needs a charge, which Jeff is doing this weekend. Other than that, there's nothing wrong with this car.
Jeff claims he can get 20MPG on the highway and 13 or 14 MPG around town. I never hit those numbers when I drove it, but I wasn't exactly driving it gingerly.
So, here's the reality of this car. It has 214,000 miles on it. It won't last forever, but there's still plenty of life left it it. I can't think of another V12 that you can buy for $3500.00 (A ratty Jaguar XJS, maybe, but old Jags, while fun, are not as well built as a BMW). I also seriously doubt you'll ever be able to find a another relatively inexpensive V12 BMW that has been better maintained than this one.
E-mail me if you're interested in this car and I'll put you in touch with Jeff.
If you buy this or any E32 BMW, check out Johan & Sean's E32 Page. It has tons of information regarding repair and maintenance of the 7 Series.
Yes, this is a friend's car, but Jeff did not ask me to write this post. The other night, over big drinks and tiny hotdogs at a place called Teo's in Pittsfield, MA, Jeff mentioned that he was finally serious about selling it. I asked him if I could write about it prior to him putting it on Craigslist or eBay. I thought it would be cool to use this car, one I'm very familiar with and really like, as my first "exclusive".
If Jeff had decided to sell this car two years ago, when the economy and the music industry were doing better, it would be in my driveway today and I'd have written a post at some point about my BMW 750iL. As it is, I'm still very, very, tempted to buy this car.

Natalie Panek is a Missions Systems Engineer and advocate for the advancement of women in STEM fields. She holds degrees in aerospace and mechanical engineering and develops foundational technologies for space development and exploration.
Outside of the lab, Natalie is an avid adventurer and sought-after speaker and writer. You can find more of her work at the Panek Room, or by following her contributions to The Next Women and the Women’s Executive Network. Recently, she was kind enough to spare time for a few questions on space, engineering, and mentoring women in STEM careers.
You’re a pilot, you’ve gone skydiving, caving, climbing, hiking, camping … and you design, analyze, and pilot space robots. What’s the common thread?
The common thread between these activities is a sense of adventure, the ability to push your limits, and learning. All of these activities provide great opportunities to learn and have some facet of science and technology involved. They are fascinating to me.
What is it about space travel and exploration that draws you so powerfully?
Space travel is the ultimate for me. I like the idea that traveling to space could be a very long-term goal and there is so much positive change I can create while en route to achieving it.
Realistically, there are pretty small odds of actually getting to space, but if I live life to the fullest and work towards other goals, I won’t be disappointed if I do not get there.
You’ve said in the past that you don’t ‘want’ to be an astronaut, you’re ‘going’ to be an astronaut … You’ve the engineering chops, you’re a pilot, and you’re unquestionably an adventurer … Was space your goal from the beginning, or was it simply the greatest adventure available?
The idea of becoming an astronaut was born sometime when I was in high school. I cannot really say why or how it happened (aside from loving ‘space’), but I have stuck with it ever since.
Space travel is the epitome of exploration and what it means to dream. I think the best and most unexpected part of this goal is that I have had some pretty neat experiences along the way. These experiences are very helpful when inspiring the next generation of women to pursue STEM careers.
With the CSA and NASA experiencing serious funding difficulties, where can future astronauts and aerospace engineers pin their hopes?
Space exploration is at a tipping point right now. Yes, there are undeniably funding cuts to the major government agencies, but these difficulties are a perfect opportunity for start-ups and private companies to flourish and drastically improve the efficiency of developing space technology.
SpaceX really is such a fundamental example of succeeding at space innovation by eliminating the inefficiencies of bureaucracy. Do not count out NASA or the CSA – these organizations are still doing incredible research and science.
How does one become an astronaut, anyway? Our nations seem to be deprioritizing manned space flight for the near term.
Deprioritizing manned space flight is definitely a valid point. The whole space industry is changing so much right now. It really is rather exciting – to see if the next generation of astronauts will be privatized and whether citizenship will really matter in the next era of space travel.
I have always found it strange that, when exploring space and moving beyond the boundaries of Earth, we, as humans, still have this unwavering nationalism. I hope that the next generation of space travel will be an international endeavor, truly accomplished by nations working together.
What’s the most interesting project on your desk, these days?
I am in a lucky position of having many interesting projects on the go at work. Developing a dexterous tool for orbital debris mitigation, a lunar dust mitigation study, developing mechanisms to improve satellite capabilities, the DARPA Phoenix Program, and writing proposals for new work. I love the opportunity to get my hands on a very diverse cross-section of Canadian space initiatives.
Your work at MDA and your academic publications focus on key challenges to space exploration and development – in-orbit infrastructure, refining, habitation … What other technical hurdles do you see as meriting attention in the near term?
Technical hurdles are often directly related to cost. Challenges can usually be overcome assuming there is enough money involved. The lack of government funding for science and exploration needs to be resolved.
You’ve indicated that a lack of cultural role models is a subtle, but powerful, obstacle to young women pursuing STEM careers. Who were your own role models, growing up? Whom can women look to today?
People always ask me who my role models were growing up and I always have a hard time naming any. This is just evidence of how few visible female role models there are in these fields.
I grew up in a family where adventure and the outdoors were at the core and we all also just happened to love science fiction. Watching Star Trek, Stargate, practically anything else on the Space channel were routine activities. I think this influenced my career path more than anything. I also took advantage of the female mentors I connected with in University – female professors, my instructor for my pilot’s license, or even a mentorship program through the Women’s Executive Network (WXN), where I was mentored by Maryse Carmichael. The key to mentorship is that it really is bi-directional; you can be both a mentor and a mentee in most stages of your career.
We need to be leveraging the fact that women are naturally mentors and nurturers. Fortunately, women are very good at building communities and support systems. This will be indicative of a very powerful shift in technology over the next few decades, as those who can build networks and provide access to mentors will be very successful.
I am a tireless advocate for trying to get more women in tech and engineering at the forefront of the media – networks like Discovery – they need more female hosts on their shows, discussing intelligent topics. We need the next generation of women to perceive STEM fields as part of the norm.
What are you most proud of, in respect to paving the way for future generations of female engineers and scientists?
I am just starting out on this path towards encouraging women and appreciate that there is still a lot of work to be done. We need to focus on why women involved with technology love what they do – highlighting any challenges that women face will likely only be a deterrent for young women.
I am not saying to ignore challenges if they arise, but we need to inspire first. I received a lot of positive feedback on my TEDx Talk about revolutionizing women in technology, but there was also a lot of negative feedback. Unfortunately, those people missed the entire point of the talk. The sole objective was to highlight that society has a problem inspiring young women to pursue STEM fields, not that women in STEM are treated unfairly or should be given an easier time. Paving the way for future generations of female engineers and scientists could be as simple as ensuring that the majority of youth can identify a female scientist or engineer, instead of a reality TV star.
How would you describe the Cybermentor program and what do you feel you can accomplish there?
Cybermentor offers high-quality opportunities for young women to engage with, ask questions, and interact with someone in their possible field of interest. This provides a gateway to opportunities that these young women may not have otherwise had. Access to women in STEM fields via Cybermentor, in addition to workshops, online resources, and other events, provides options for rewarding career paths, while building confidence in girls and opportunities to discover new interests.

Lookout Landing jots down a few thoughts on Shoppach as only they can. Marc W over at USS Mariner take s a look at catching defense and trying to measure it.
For me, there aren't many ways to statistically measure catching defense. And of those ways -- throwing out runners, passed balls (don't you ever use catcher's ERA, ever) - that's about 1/10th of the responsibilities of the position. And because of that, any stat - namely Win Above Replacement player (WAR) - that uses a defensive metric is kind of flawed when it comes to catchers. So much of a catcher's responsibility cannot be measured or quantified with numbers. I was converted to catcher in college (ate my way out of second base), and played the position for three years. The amount of things that went into just one game were overwhelming - and that was at the NAIA level. So at the big league level? It's ridiculous. It's why I kind of just shrugged my shoulders on WAR comparisons of John Jaso and Mike Morse.
One thing that would be interesting is the 40-man roster move the Mariners would make if they sign Shoppach. Who do they designate for assignment? Would it be another young player like Yoervis Medina, or would the Mariners part ways with Mike Carp, who seems to have no place on the team.
As for other free agents .... outfielder Michael Bourn met with the Mets (see what I did there?). If you notice in the Sherman story, he views it as a long shot. Why? Well according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, Bourn's agent - Scott Boras - wants 5-years at $15 million per year. And if anyone knows what Boras wants, it would be Heyman.
From what I've been told, there hasn't been a ton of discussion about Bourn in the Mariners' front office. I'm guessing the idea of $75 million is a little too much of a commitment, particularly with their push to sign Felix Hernandez to a contract extension. Of course, that could change if the asking price went down a little. But how often does Boras' asking price go down? Would Bourn help the Mariners? Yes. He would give them a legitimate lead-off hitter that they don't have and another defensive presence in the outfield. Having Bourn and Gutierrez in the same outfield could offset any defensive issues in left field. But I'd be surprised if they go this route. And it's not because they are worried about giving up their first round pick (No. 12 overall) as compensation.
The Mariners are still hoping to add a veteran pitcher as well. Joe Saunders' name has been mentioned outside sources, but it doesn't sound like the team is interested in overpaying. Lohse's asking price is also way too high for his value .... here's a list of other pitchers that are unsigned. Any names that interest you? | 2019-04-19T15:24:22Z | https://www.thenewstribune.com/sports/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-insider-blog/article26464402.html |

The Belgian Leguan replaced twelve ageing M48A2 AVLBs and, with the Pionierpanzer AEV, are the Last of the Breed of Leopards (or any tracked, armoured vehicle) in service in Belgium.
The name Leguan is an adaptation of the German word legen, meaning ‘to lay’. The main task of an AVLB (Assault Vehicle Launch Bridge) is to provide an armoured and/or mechanised combat formation with a fast solution to overcome natural obstacles, or artificial obstacles created by the enemy. This gives an attacking unit the element of surprise, not limiting the unit to the available intact civilian road and bridge infra-structure.
For the armour enthusiast, it describes the Belgian version of this rare bridgelayer in great detail, and shows you how it operates.

(HealthDay News) — Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is associated with attenuated markers of oxidative stress in subcutaneous adipose tissue, according to a study published recently in Diabetes.
X. Julia Xu, Ph.D., from the Boston University School of Medicine, and colleagues examined how AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity, oxidative stress, inflammation, and insulin resistance are affected by RYGB surgery. They studied 11 patients immediately before and three months after surgery.
The researchers found that AMPK activity increased 3.5-fold after surgery, and oxidative stress decreased by 50 percent in subcutaneous adipose tissue. There was also an 80 percent reduction in malonyl-CoA levels. There were improvements in both body mass index (BMI) and insulin sensitivity, and an increase in circulating high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin, while fasting plasma insulin levels decreased. The expression of inflammatory markers was unchanged postoperatively in subcutaneous adipose tissue, although there was a 50 percent decrease in plasma C-reactive protein.
“We demonstrated that three months postoperatively, there is a substantial improvement in the patients’ metabolic profile as assessed by changes in body weight, BMI, circulating HMW adiponectin, insulin sensitivity, and increased adipose tissue AMPK phosphorylation/activation,” the authors write. | 2019-04-26T04:31:40Z | https://www.empr.com/home/news/drug-news/improved-metabolic-profile-after-roux-en-y-gastric-bypass/ |

What is this? Why is it here? Do I need to do something about it? Are the “mineral rights intact?” “Will there be an oil well pump jack in my front yard?” The purpose of this post is to arm you with the basic knowledge to answer these questions and to take the confusion out of your transaction.
An oil and gas lease is like a surface lease in that the owner gives the right to use real estate for a period of time in exchange for payment. Therefore, the owner is giving the right to another person (typically an oil and gas company) to explore and produce oil from the subsurface for a period of time. Most oil and gas leases in Kansas range from five to ten years unless production or exploration is active. If production or exploration is active, an oil and gas lease continues until such time as it is inactive for the term of the lease. Interestingly, the vast majority of real estate subject to an oil and gas lease is never explored. Companies purchase the lease and in the event oil and gas is found in the area, they can continue the exploration and production.
A title insurance company will list the oil and gas lease on a commitment to make the buyer aware of the fact that a lease exists on the real estate; that somebody potentially has the right to drill an oil well or place an oil well in your front yard. Quite often though, the lease period has expired and no oil has been produced. If this is the case, and somebody familiar with the land will swear to this fact, the exception can be removed from the commitment.
Oil and gas rights can be a complicated subject for even the most seasoned buyer, seller, real estate agent or banker. If you have any questions about mineral rights in a transaction, Tallgrass Title has real estate attorneys that specialize in oil and gas law who are happy to discuss these questions with you. It’s our job! | 2019-04-23T10:59:20Z | https://tallgrasstitleks.com/tag/mineral-rights/ |
The Maasai are an ethnic group of people that live in Kenya and in the north of Tanzania. They are well known for the way that they dress and because they live near some national parks in Africa that a lot of tourists go to. They speak a language called Maa.
The Maasai are an old nomad African tribe in the group of Nilotes who have always lived in Africa principally in the north of Tanzania and southern Kenya. They were discovered by settlers around the 19th century.
They live near the african savannah in animal reserves, for example the Masaai Mara reserve and the Serengeti.
The women build houses called Manyatta; the men build a fence around the village to protect them from lions.
The Masaai people live with animals because they are pastrolists. The more cattle a Maasai man has, the richer he is. They can’t live without animals because their wealth comes from them . The Masaai drink cow’s blood because they believe they will be stronger.
The Maasai speak Maa,very similar in pronuncuation to their Nilotic counterparts, the Luo and Kalenjin.
They are Christians, animists (their own religion) and some Maasai are muslim.
Physically, they are very tall and slim. Everybody wears bandannas and beaded jewellry, apply dye from dried up cow blood.
They shave their women during marriages and their men pay a lot of dowry,in form of cattle to the bride's family.
During initiation,the boys in their teen ages, jump over fire and kill a lion in order to be called men. There on,they can get married.
The Maa people have a bad practice of Female Genital Mutilation in order to make them 'women'. This is a bad practice as this could make the young girls die from complications in birth,over bleeding. But the government of Kenya, Tanzania and NGO's have educated the locals over the dangers of FGM.

Volvo has invested in FreeWire, an EV charging technology company.
Volvo's venture investing fund has acquired a stake in FreeWire Technologies, a San Francisco-based company that has developed a flexible fast-charging technology for electric vehicles.
The Volvo Cars Tech Fund, which was launched earlier this year, made the investment. Volvo didn't disclose terms.
FreeWire has developed a charging technology for stations that connect to the electrical grid using low-voltage power and provide fast-charging to EV drivers. Typically fast-charging stations require electrical upgrades to support the connection to the grid. Drivers can use existing power outlets to charge their vehicles at FreeWire stations.
"Freewire's fast charging technology holds great promise to simplify the experience for customers of electrified Volvos,” said Atif Rafiq, chief digital officer at Volvo Cars. "With this move, we aim to make the future of sustainable, electric cars more practical and convenient."
In 2019, Volvo will begin rolling out an ambitious electrification strategy that will involve launching an electrified version of every model in the lineup. By 2025, Volvo hoped to have 50% of its global sales be electrified vehicles.
Earlier this year, Volvo's venture fund invested in Luminar Technologies, which develops advanced sensor technology for autonomous vehicles. Volvo had been collaborating with Luminar on the development and testing of LiDAR technology. | 2019-04-25T20:01:59Z | https://www.automotive-fleet.com/317488/volvo-invests-in-electric-charging-company |

(PhysOrg.com) -- A new audio/video cable techology is being developed that might spell the end of HDMI cables, which are currently used to connect a wide range of audio and video devices. The new technology is known as HDBaseT and carries audio and video signals and power on standard Cat 5e/6 Ethernet cables.
HDBaseT is a network-based standard called “5PlayTM” that enables a single cable to carry high definition video, audio, up to 100 watts of power, 100BaseT Ethernet, and control signals simultaneously. The cables, which are inexpensive Cat5e/6 type rather than expensive HDMI, can be up to 100 meters in length. The HDMI ports are replaced by standard RJ-45 connectors. The HDBaseT specification supports the latest HD video, 3D, and high resolution 2K x 4K (4096 by 2160).
Yep this may be the future. We've been tracking this for a few months now. Its still too early to tell whether this will get traction...but the indications are there for the first devices to be available next summer.
"Is the standard going to be open enough that we can actually create interoperable stuff with it?"
HDMI-CEC was a horrible abject failure, because the vendors not only didn't standardize on ANYTHING at the packet level, nobody bothered to expose the signalling beyond certain bits of consumer electronics, or bulky USB converters... I don't want to see this repeated AGAIN.
Valens’ HDBaseT™ is the first technology to enable long-reach wired connectivity of uncompressed HD multimedia content via a single LAN cable. Valens chips transfer uncompressed HD video, audio and Internet via up to 100m/328ft low-cost LAN cable. This enables both point-to-point connectivity and full multimedia distribution with higher reliability, longer distance and lower cost cable - perfectly answering the needs of the end user.
Valens’ HDBaseT delivers significant value to the entire home entertainment ecosystem, from Consumer Electronics (CE)/PC equipment manufacturers and audio/video connectivity product suppliers, through systems integrators and retailers, to installers and consumers.
* Enables 5Play™ – video, audio, Internet, power over cable and various controls signals which are all critical in order to provide the point-to-point connectivity and multimedia distribution in a HD home entertainment environment.
* Reduces the number of ports – one port for HD video, audio and Internet, instead of two.
* Solves the customer’s need for performance over longer distance, ease of installation, reliability, flexibility and cost of installation.
* Leverages the distribution of HD content with new applications.
* Enables, for the first time, an HD distribution system based on CE devices. PC-based media servers are no longer required and CE devices are once again the emperors of the living room.
Q17: Is HDBaseT based on transmission of packets over Ethernet?
A: No. HDBaseT provides Ethernet connectivity in addition to video, audio, control and power. This is referred to as 5Play. HDBaseT uses the Ethernet infrastructure as a physical medium but its packets are not Ethernet packets.
Q18: What video resolutions does HDBaseT support?
A:HDBaseT uncompressed video 1080P, 60Hz, 48bits, 3D and 4Kx2K.
Q19: Is HDBaseT compliant with HDCP?
Q20: Is HDBaseT compliant with other HDMI control signals, i.e. CEC, DDC, 5V, HPD?
* CEC Is transparently transferred over the HDBaseT link.
* HDBaseT passes 5V and HPD signals in compliance with the HDMI standard.
* DDC is also passed over the HDBaseT link. Source devices are required to support I2C stretching according to the HDMI 1.3 standard. | 2019-04-22T14:34:59Z | http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=10427.0;prev_next=next |
Motor vehicle accidents involving kids are especially tragic | The Law Offices of Millon & Peskin, Ltd.
On behalf of The Law Offices of Millon & Peskin, Ltd. posted in Motor Vehicle Accidents on Tuesday, March 5, 2019.
Chicago police often engage chase tactics if drivers attempt to the flee the scene of a traffic stop. High-speed chases are definitely dangerous for all involved, as well as any nearby motorist or pedestrian. Motor vehicle accidents often occur during police chases, as one recently did in Illinois that resulted in a child fatality and injuries to numerous others.
The incident reportedly began when police attempted to pull over a car driven by a 21-year-old man. He was carrying several occupants in his vehicle, including a 2-year-old child. Police say the man hit the gas pedal and fled the scene; after that, a chase ensued.
The young man's vehicle crashed into another car. The sudden impact sent the suspect's vehicle off the road where a second collision occurred as it smashed into a tree. Numerous people suffered injuries in both vehicles. Sadly, the toddler was ejected from the vehicle and did not survive her injuries. Police say there is evidence that the child was not properly restrained in a car seat when the accident happened.
The driver of the fleeing vehicle was arrested. Illinois motor vehicle accidents like this one often lead to criminal charges and traffic citations. Victims who survive their injuries are able to file personal injury claims against negligent or reckless drivers. No information was provided in this particular case as to whether or not the fatally injured child was related to the driver. In many situations, there are grounds for parents or legal guardians of deceased children to file wrongful death claims against those who caused their deaths. | 2019-04-24T17:47:30Z | https://www.millonpeskin.com/blog/2019/03/motor-vehicle-accidents-involving-kids-are-especially-tragic.shtml |

A proposed $226-million youth mental health centre in Edmonton will boast more than 100 inpatient beds and bring various treatment programs under one roof, said the province.
Funding for the child and adolescent mental health centre was first set out in the 2017 budget to the tune of $200 million, said Health Minister Sarah Hoffman.
On Monday, the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation promised to contribute an additional $26 million to the project. The foundation will receive the naming rights for the facility.
“We just recently finished the scope, so now we know the how many beds and what the kinds of services will be,” Hoffman said.
The centre will include 101 inpatient beds, child and adolescent crisis services, a mobile response team and a slew of other services including outpatient support.
The centre will be built on land owned by Alberta Health Services east of the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital.
The foundation plans to raise the additional funds over the next five years, he added.
Construction is set to begin in spring 2021, with completion slated for 2024. Project design will start in the next few months, said the province.
“I actually think this is going to be something that has an indelible mark on things like crime and homelessness and poverty, because so much of that is endemic to mental health,” House said.
Annie Belley, 24, spoke about her own struggle with bipolar disorder at the news conference.
She said having multiple services under one roof will be helpful for patients.
“It’s so hard to navigate the health system as it is. When you throw mental health into the mix, there are so many other factors that go into play there,” she said.
She said feeling overwhelmed used to stop her from seeking help.
The province estimated the project will create up to 250 construction jobs. | 2019-04-18T22:52:21Z | https://edmontonsun.com/news/local-news/transformational-226-million-mental-health-centre-receives-funding-boost/wcm/83703ad4-810e-4a48-9642-621cec805ed0 |

Corrugated packaging can be shipped by air, truck, or rail.
Because carriers accept liability for the product they transport they can refuse to ship something inadequately packaged. If you want to have your product insured by the carrier it is best to follow their regulations.
Shipping "in boxes" means a corrugated or solid fiberboard container (as defined by Item 222 of the NMFC and Rule 41 of the UFC). These are quality standards. These rules give material specifications that vary depending upon the total gross weight and the dimensions of the box and its contents.
Boxes that follow the above standards must have a circular box stamp or certificate. Items shipped in cartons without the proper "box cert" may not be insured by the carrier.
A box, as defined by the carriers, is an enclosure that has at least six sides and has an opening that is only large enough to insert one's fingers to rip open a flap. It must also be capable of passing a qualified drop test. Boxes must be made of a combined board that meets minimum burst strength and combined basis weight, or the appropriate edge crush test per the appropriate gross weight and dimensions.
The air cargo and airline industries do not publish detailed packaging instructions except for special articles such as live animals, human remains, seafood, etc. Individual carriers - UPS, Fed Ex, the US Postal Service, and others -- publish their own tariffs. Both UPS and Fed Ex require compliance with Item 222. Also, both require that the packages they carry are of minimum 200 burst strength or 32 ECT, and are capable of meeting International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) -- Pre-shipment Testing Procedures. It is best to check with the carriers themselves to determine if there are any special requirements.
The DOT (Department of Transportation) regulates the packaging and transport of hazardous materials. All aspects of a package that will contain hazardous material must be certified and cannot be changed once certified.
Package manufacturers are responsible for manufacturing a quality product that conforms to material and performance specifications of the test and certified design, and for correctly formatting all regulated markings.
Packaging regulations for hazardous materials can be found in 49 CFR,§§ 171-178. | 2019-04-25T08:26:19Z | https://www.wisconsinpackaging.com/resource-center/rules-and-regulations/ |

Absolutely! If the officer is only giving you the choice of blood because they believe that you are under the influence of drugs and/or they believe that no breath test is available. You can refuse it if you want. The problem is they will read the refusal admonition, and assuming they do that properly, what that admonition says is that you can lose your license for a year or more just for refusing the test.
That’s what you risk: losing your license for a year and, in most of these cases now, they will just get a warrant from a judge and forcibly draw your blood, which will help them have more evidence, potentially, against you for the court case and the DMV case but the refusal is really going to hurt you for the DMV case.
The issue would be that they have to prove several things: that the officer had sufficient cause or probable cause to stop you and initiate a DUI investigation, that you were lawfully arrested, that you were admonished, that you were required to do a blood test, and that you refused to do the test. That’s the problem with the refusal situation at DMV. Nowhere in those four issues does it say you were at or over a 0.08; in fact, that’s a non-issue with DMV on a refusal case.
What Happens If They Don’t Find Anything in the Blood Draw? Is the Case Dismissed Automatically?
In those cases, what should happen is the district attorney’s office should review the case, see the results and dismiss the case assuming there aren’t other non-DUI charges and DMV should do the same thing, set aside any suspension.
However, one of the problems you have is that even if it comes up zero, if you have not requested a hearing within 10 days, DMV may still suspend your license and even when it comes back under a 0.08 or at zero blood alcohol level; you may still end up with a suspension on your license if it’s not handled properly. It is important to request that DMV hearing within 10 days of your arrest.
Who Actually Draws the Blood?
For safety purposes, someone who is qualified to do so. It’s usually a phlebotomist who is licensed by the State of California, they have taken the proper courses to draw blood, sometimes it’s the nurse, or it could be a paramedic; it could be anybody who is licensed to draw blood. There are some police officers who have been properly trained and who can draw blood, but that’s very rare.
Is There Some Sort of An Additional Fee for a Blood Draw?
No. The only additional fee that you see from the police officers or anybody else involved, emergency services, is the law allows CHP and ambulances, medical personnel to bill for time when they have responded to an accident. Technically, if the case does go away, if you get dismissed, you may be able to get away from paying that bill but if they can prove that it was a DUI, you’re going to be on the hook for that bill and often it can be $1,000 or more.
Would it be Possible for Someone To Get their Own Blood Drawn to Prove their Innocence?
The problem is that when you get arrested, they usually take you to jail and do a blood draw and keep you for four to six hours or sometimes a lot more. Some places will release you right away if there is a friend or a relative or someone who can pick you up but if you do a blood draw at a jail, you’re going to be sitting there for a while. Once you get out, often it’s the early morning hours and there is no facility open to do a blood draw. By the time you get around to it, most of the alcohol that may be in your system is probably gone.
Where it might be beneficial is if you haven’t had anything to drink and you’re testing, say on a breath test you’re over the limit, whether something is wrong with that test. If you want to get a blood test after you get out of jail, that may be helpful, but if it turns out that you did the preliminary alcohol screening blow and you’re over the limit and they give you a blood test in jail, you’ve had nothing to drink or no drugs, that blood test should come back reading zeroes.
To go get a blood test later after you get out most likely would not be helpful. You’re always welcome to do it, it’s not something that the other side would see unless your attorney presented it to them, it’s not something that I advise people to run out and do right away but it can be done, anybody can go to a lab and have blood drawn.

Hi! How’s the new year treating you guys? We’re off to a good start – we had a great Christmas break (I can’t lie, Christmas morning is 10x more adorable with babies and toddlers), and we’re thisclose to finishing this flip. Can I get an amen?
I’m not even sure where I should start with updating you. To say the flip is meeting my expectations would be an understatement – I’m absolutely in LOVE with how it’s turning out. Definitely my favorite flip ever (do I say that every time?). I love the layout of the house (lots of space, a big family room, oodles of bathrooms), the backyard (it’s bigger than my backyard which is an instant plus, it has a shed for storage and an amazing workroom attached to the garage which I would totally use as a kid’s fort), and the patio (it runs the length of the side of the house and would be a great entertaining space, plus I can totally imagine my kiddos riding tricycles and coloring with chalk out there). So, basically, I want to move in.
But what really does it for me are the finishes in this house. I know they might not be to everyone’s taste, but they make my heart sing and I’m SO happy that you guys encouraged me to go for this design. I love the finishes more than I love Mexican food, and that’s saying a lot. A whole lot. So thank you.
Enough rambling. You came here to see photos, am I right?
Well, I don’t have any gorgeous “after” photos for you (primarily because we ain’t done yet!), but here are some in-progress shots that will hopefully get you excited for the real photos to come.
I also have a random question for you. Daniel over at Manhatten Nest includes a diary of sorts at the end of each post about his new flip, giving a brief description of what’s going on each day of the project. (BTW, are you guys following along? Such a fun project to watch from the sidelines.) Is that something you guys would be interested in reading from me? Either in post-form, or in the sidebar? Just something I’m pondering. Thanks!
Yes I follow Daniel too and would love to see you do a similar summary too. I love seeing your before and after as well as your thinking style and choices and sourcing. Love your style.
Hello…love your blog! Almost done w a total house renovation! Can you share where you found the bathroom round mirrors? Thank you!
Hi Camille, congrats on nearing the finish line! I bet it feels great.
The mirrors are from World Market – they aren’t on their website any longer, but I did see one in the store recently. Hope that helps!
Yes! More frequent posts, please! So glad you finally located the Ikea bathroom cabinets you wanted — everything about that space looks Architectural Digest-worthy. You rock!
I can see why this is your favorite – I love it too! Maybe you should move in and flip your current house to save on capital gains.
Makes me want to rip out my kitchen cabinets and put lighting over my sink and change my windows to dark frames, are they steel?
Yes, a similar summary would be great – with room measurements would be helpful. Prices would be over-the-top helpful even though you are in another state. I know you are busy but it seems like the blogs I have the most interest in post the least. Little interim summary posts would help a lot.
Maybe you could say where you got the barn door hardware? Everywhere I look it is so expensive.
Hi! The windows are aluminum, and the barn door hardware was a steal from Lowe’s. Home Depot has it as well (in oil-rubbed bronze, the Lowe’s finish is black which is why we chose it).
More posts would be great- love your style. Can I ask where you found that light fixure in the bedroom? It’s awesome!
Hey Laura! That fixture is from Shades of Light – http://www.shadesoflight.com/industrial-cage-ceiling-light.html – we used it in our 8th and 9th flips as well!
Yes, I am following him. And yes that sounds like a good idea. I third the more posts.
YES! to the diary. I would love to see how things unfold in real time for you. How these projects progress in a day-to-day.
Do what you want that doesn’t take too much time for you, but I love ALL your updates!
Yes yes and yes… Flip is looking great and I love the diary that Manhattan Nest does!! Do it!!
I love Daniel’s blog and my heart leaps when I see there’s a new post. His is one of my favorite blogs because I prefer more substantial posts to more frequent posts.
I gotta say, when I saw the pic of the stained kitchen cabinets in your last post I was kinda meh. But to see it all together? Serious love. Wow. Well done!
Wow! Everything is coming together nicely! I love the design risks/choices that you made here. I can’t wait to see which floor sample you chose. Can you share where they are from?
Hi Bridget! We went with the Dark Walnut (a Minwax stain color), and it will be applied to the sanded red oak floors.
Looking so good!! Can’t wait to see the finished house! Gets me even more excited to have you design my master suite!!
Wow, everything looks beautiful! I am a white cabinet girl usually, but, man, I love the way those cabinets look with the subway tile and the counter tops. Nice job!
It looks AMAZING! and I would love to see a diary of sorts!!
I like the handles you choose for the cabinets. I think the barn door was a great tough for all the open spaces. And the windows are perfect.
Thanks for the in-progress update – I’ve been dying to know how things have been coming along on your flip. Funny, but I tend to skip the diary at the end of Daniel’s post; I would much rather have you post the info on the last flips (I think there are a few missing?!), if not your current renovation. Still, you’re in charge and I thoroughly enjoy whatever you can get time for. Happy New Year!
I love the bathroom round mirrors and the floor-to-ceiling windows! Everything looks really pretty, well done! | 2019-04-25T14:07:16Z | http://itsgreattobehome.net/2015/01/12/flip-updates-2/ |
I am obsessed with this shirt for so many reasons. First of all, I love Drake.. actually not Drake himself just his lyrics. Probably 97% of my Instagram captions are Drake lyrics haha. Second, It's the opposite of what Drake actually says in the song Hotline Bling and it's soooo fitting as a hijabi... So when the lovely team at Teesandtankyou told me to pick anything I wanted, I didn't hesitate to pick this shirt! (Needless to say I also wanted a million other shirts too.. they're all so witty and so me!!) Make sure you check out their site here and follow the link above for the Drake shirt! | 2019-04-21T14:41:31Z | http://www.hanihulu.com/2016/07/hotline-bling.html |
It appears as though the Suzuki Motorcycle has accomplished its mission of beating the Japanese-counterparts Yamaha and Honda duo in 150cc motorcycle segment.
Unveiled at the ongoing 2016 Indonesia Motorcycle Show in Jakarta, the Suzuki GSX-R150 and its naked version, the GSX-S150 surely leads in the performance battle leaving behind the YZF-R15 and CBR150R. Both the motorcycle belong to their Indian siblings, the Gixxer and the Gixxer SF. However apart from the engine capacities, there is nothing similar to its Indian cousins.
Power comparison, the new GSX-R150 powered by a 147.3cc water-cooled fuel-injected single cylinder engine churns-out 19.17 PS at 10,500 RPM and 14 Nm of torque at 9000 RPM. Whereas, the Yamaha R15 generates 17 PS at 8500 RPM and 15 Nm of torque at 7500 RPM, while the Honda CBR150R produces 18.5 PS at 10,500 RPM and 12.66 Nm at 8500 RPM.
Furthermore, the GSX-R150 weighs 126 kgs (dry weight) that is around 10 kgs and 12 kgs lighter as compared to the YZF-R15 and CBR150R respectively. The dry weight reduction and high BHP surely leads to that of its rivals. Noteworthy features include a digital instrument cluster, LED headlamps and keyless ignition.

Update: Amazingly, I understand from feedback noone recognises many of the faces in this particular rogues gallery who met up on Champion Chase day at Cheltenham..
Could you please get ur arse in gear and start posting regularly again. Its always interesting listening what you have to say especially with regards to general aspects of poker and behaviour at the table.
If someone can point me in the direction of a more enthusiastic race goer than "The Bald Beast" I will be amazed. What a character that guy is. Jake would have been even more scared if Bennett was offering him fashion tips or horse tips.
Your still creaming stars Camel. Share some of your success here please always an interesting read.
How very dare you 8-). I'll have you know I showed an, albeit small this year, profit at the Cheltenham Festival for the 4th consecutive season.
...and as for the slur on my fashion sense. I have yet to be run over at any race meeting in my life!
I will concede that you would not want your small babie being subjected to the delights of my good self. Hope the little fella has recovered Keith. Years of psychotherapy await I fear.
Only 29 days to Punchestown...40 to the Guineas...68 to the Derby (67 to the Oaks)...84 to Royal Ascot...107 to Newmarket's July meeting (better get the Panama ready for that one)...125 to Galway...147 to York's Ebor meeting (probably see the Camel himself there...unless of course he sees me first)...186 to the Breeders Cup...274 to the King George...and of course 341 to the Cheltenham Festival.

PAR’THA EXPANSE – The surprised crew of the medical ship Blackwell were thrown off their feet by a cloaked minefield that damaged the ship’s port nacelle and scattered high concentrations of veteron particles.
The Blackwell was cut off with other fleet ships after a second set of explosions from impacting the minefield. Minor injuries were reported across the ship, and the crew has reported they are working to repair the damage, at full stop.
Leading up to these events, the Blackwell was making slow progress to the planet Arndall at the behest of House Tadere to give medical assistance to wounded Valcarian soldiers coming off the front line. At the lower warp speeds required in the Expanse, the journey was due to take over two months, giving the crew ample time to prepare before they were waylaid by the minefield.
Other ships in the Andaris Task Force have also encountered a number of dangers in the Par’tha Expanse, starting with a recent shoreleave, during which an area native attempted to assassinate a Starfleet crew member on Deep Space 26. The boy was subdued and held for for questioning, pending possible extradition. The investigation into the motive for this attack is ongoing.
After shoreleave, the Atlantis, another ship in the Andaris Task Force, continued work on recent damage to the ship’s computer systems. They brought the ship to operational capacity and welcomed a new commanding officer, Capt. S’Ranna, and a new First Officer, LtCmdr. Udro Nepra.
The Atlantis was then dispatched to Aelann, one of the most prominent trading hubs in the Freeworlds where they would lead negotiations Taventa Robotics who were have hopes to begin a trade partnership with the Federation.
“This could, potentially signal the end of high risk away teams,” Capt S’Ranna remarked in regard to the autonomous robots, exciting prospect considering the danger that many away teams encounter, and surely a comfort to families at home. | 2019-04-24T03:47:49Z | https://www.starbase118.net/2017/uss-blackwell-encounters-minefield-partha-expanse/ |

Before disaster strikes, talk with friends and relatives who live both inside and outside your immediate area about a reciprocal emergency plan. Make arrangements for them to obtain your pets if you should never return home. Or, if you are faced with a temporary disaster, the other party would be able to house your pets until you are on your feet again, and vice versa.
Attach id tags to your pets. Be sure to include the name and phone number of a friend or family member that is outside of your area. You may also want to consider having your pets microchipped.
If you are in the military, make arrangements in advance for friends or family to care for your pets incase you are deployed. Draft a written contract outlining the arrangement and cover important issues such as what will happen to your pet should your caretaker no longer be able to keep it and what will happen if you're unable to reclaim your pet.
A list of various hotels that accept pets. If you have advance warning, as in the case of a hurricane, make reservations and plans to leave as early as possible. If you wait, hotels could be booked.
Again, collect all these supplies and information ahead of time. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you can assemble necessary items at the time of a crisis. | 2019-04-23T06:29:57Z | https://www.spca.org/disasterplanning |
Access, the company that purchased PalmSource, will be releasing a Linux-based platform for handhelds and smartphones. What will this mean for Linux, Windows Mobile, smartphones, handhelds, media players, etc? Discuss below, let you're imagination drive your comments.
喔?? Treo 650 可以用來啟動 Linux??
nilbog writes "A major leap forward has taken place in the development of Linux for the Treo 650. Grack.com has posted screenshots of a Cingular branded 650 displaying the familiar penguin logo. A discussion has sprung up over the the treo central forums where Shadowmite, one of the developers, has confirmed that it shouldn't be too long before they are able to get the phone's hardware working under linux. "
在 MacWorld.com 剛剛發佈的新聞：Macworld: News: Treo 650 to get BlackBerry software next year，不知道是真的假的?? 如果真的，那就太好了!!
以市場的角度來看，Palm 這個動作是正確的，而且是很大膽、有創意的思維；但以技術的角度來說，要我去接受一個超不穩定，常常會有記憶體缺陷的 Windows-Based 系統，我會認真的思考，要不要隨著 Palm 起舞?!
Agendus for Palm OS 10 Release!!
因為老婆最近想吐的厲害，昨晚陪他吃火鍋，回來的路上，順道去屈臣仕買酸梅。回到家後沒有注意到我的 Treo650，直到今天早上起床時，沒有聽到 Treo650 趕我去上課的催促聲，趕快打電話給自己，也沒有聽到 Treo650 的回應。這下可糟糕了，我賴以為生的 Treo650 不見了!!
不過，最後把 /Library/Application Support/Palm HotSync/ 的權限修正後，嘿嘿，竟然可以成功了!!
今天在網路上看到 Treo 700 的新聞，嗯嗯，看來 Treo 700 指日可待了!! | 2019-04-20T05:30:33Z | http://cdchen.idv.tw/taxonomy/term/9 |
In my humble opinion, and admittedly I did at one time subscribe to the ladders…..how quickly I learned that they are scamming the people who cannot afford to be scammed…..it’s funny how that always seems to be the case. In my extended unemployment (by choice…but now not by design…) I found Nick Corcodilos to be honest…does what he says, and more…and is reasonable in terms of price for those things that he charges for. Everyone has to eat….if you climb “the ladders”, thinking that the best fruit lies near the top, you already have fallen and hit your head…..
After having my resume critiqued by the ladders and receiving the same exact letter my husband did from his resume critique, i decided to have a second opinion. I ended up hiring Debbie at fishbowlresume. Not only did she take the time to actually review my resume, but she charged MUCH less and was much more personable to deal with. My husband was so impressed with my new resume he ordered one for himself as well.
Since using my new resume I am getting more calls and interviews. I can’t say that the same wouldnt have happened with the ladders, but I was not willing to pay that price for a company which as a whole has horrible reviews and sends everyone the exact same resume critique. I dont think they even looked at my resume before reviewing it, to be honest. I recommend debbie and fishbowlresume to everyone who needs a stand out resume!
I am a current writer for The Ladders.
Yes, they do charge very high prices and, if the client is lucky, he or she will be assigned to a writer who truly cares about the client and not just about throwing together some poorly written bit of fluff in order to move on to the next assignment.
However – customers will find that with any resume writing service – – and a nod to Winston Groom – – – but Resume Writers are like a box of chocolates. You never know who you’re gonna get. I, for one, take great pride in going above and beyond to help the client assigned to me. I love what I do, and I’m very good at it.
As for the critiques, yes, most are canned responses. This is because the majority of resumes out there display the same issues. I have seen many times, however, a Ladders’ evaluator who is honest and replies that the client’s current resume looks fine and is not in need of a rewrite.
Before The Ladders, I worked for another company that shall remain nameless; suffice it to say that I didn’t last very long there. They required their writers to ensure the properties of the final document displayed their company name in case the client tried the old resubmit-for-another-critique-and-see-what-they-say scenario. That protocol was inappropriate and dishonest, and I left.
While I was there, I was also assigned, on numerous occasions, resumes that were obviously already very well written or already written by a professional, which made it extremely difficult for the writer. Not only that, this company’s leadership left much to be desired.
The Ladders doesn’t scam anyone. No one’s holding a gun to the client’s head after the evaluation, demanding their VISA number. Shop your original resume around for different critiques or, better yet, read up on the latest trends in the industry and then compare to the critiques.
Time and again, I’ve had a client come back with feedback from their headhunter who said they needed an objective or to put everything back into bulleted line items. I always want to tell them that the Nineties called and they want their archaic resume back.
The Ladders’ management insists their writers take courses regularly as well in order to stay abreast of current trends in the industry. They are very customer-centric to the point where I can say they are more customer-based than writer-advocate.
…and they must be doing something right or there wouldn’t be blogs with people complaining and bashing them in an effort to highlight their own companies and services; not understanding the intricacies involved in composing a well-written, eye-catching resume.
Wow, “Anonymous Contributor”, you certainly are a staunch advocate for your employer.
That’s true. The customers that go to The Ladders are the ones that are so naive and in the dark about resume writing that they go to the service with the biggest advertising budget.
I get that. It’s not your fault they are suckers.
I’ll stick with the intelligent consumers — I like working with them a lot better anyway.
As a consumer, one counts on the fact that effective advertising should in fact also reveal the quality of the product. So when I see commentary such as the following: “I get that. It’s not your fault they are suckers.” being dribbled about, I question the writers ability to judge anything….I utilized their services…I got a re-written resume, and in fact it was fairly well written, it just didn’t produce the results I had hoped for….I bet the original author of the quoted segment has also been subject to a purchase due to advertising….such as wedding or engagement rings or dresses, other clothing etc….how many times have they ever purchased something (with their visa card nonetheless) that they were not happy with? Everyone has, at some time or another made an ill decided purchase….as P.T. Barnum said, there is a sucker born every minute….that would include you Jennifer.
I know you really either don’t care of won’t believe me, but “sucker” is one of the few terms that cannot be used to describe me.
You could call me “nonconformist”, “cynic”, “skeptic”, or maybe even “contemptuous”, and even though most people may consider those terms negative, I will proudly wear those labels.
That saying used to really annoy me, but now as an educated consumer and a very skeptical adult, I get it and I love him for it!
I learned as a child that if it’s too good to be true, it probably is. Trust and respect must be earned, not spontaneous.
No matter what you’re shopping for — whether it’s a TV or a professional resume writer — you should ALWAYS ask questions.
— How long has the company been in business?
— What do their customers say about them?
— Do they have references?
I do not advocate going into anything blindly especially when it concerns your career! I don’t care how many fancy buttons, images, or flash gizmos are displayed on the website either. That stuff should make you more skeptical.
Whatever the investment is, you should always do your due diligence. If you don’t, and you feel scammed or taken advantage of, it’s your own fault.
First, you are correct, there are many resume writers claiming to be professionals. However, saying that “resume writers are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get” is true only if a person doesn’t do their due diligence.
With a box of chocolates, you get pieces of candy with fancy designs, but absolutely no way to tell what is contained within the chocolate coating. So, you have to investigate.
4. You can buy chocolate that has a complete description of what you are buying on the package so you can make an informed decision.
Frankly, I think option 4, combined with option 2 is how consumers, whether they are buying a car or retaining the services of a resume writer, should approach their purchases.
There are many things that differentiate resume writers. Level of service provided (personal consult, IMHO, is always better than having a job seeker fill out a form without any human contact), experience not only in resume writing, but hiring candidates, credible certifications earned by the writer, and a commitment to continuing education.
Further, they surround themselves with a “board of directors” within the employment industry, including recruiters and HR Managers to ensure they keep abreast of trends.
As for other resume writers “bashing” The Ladders to “highlight their own companies,” I am going to disagree with you. The Ladders model of writing canned critiques and producing poorly composed resumes has put them in a position of garnering criticism.
However, unless you actually speak to the potential client, assess his / her goals, and determine the most effective strategy to help the candidate win interviews, backed up by solid experience and knowledge, there is no way to know the best way to present that client to a potential employer.
Great resume writers aren’t inexpensive. Neither is The Ladders. Job seekers beware – make sure you know the name and credentials of the person writing your resume before you hand over your credit card number.
Do your research, make inquiry calls, and Google the person’s name and their company name. Are they quoted by the media as an expert? Do they have clients complaining about them or complimenting them?
Knowledge is power – make an informed decision before hiring anyone to perform a service.
I understand that people are pushing their resume services here, however, it has to be said that theresumechick, or Karen Flowers, the first person posting above, is a scam service.
She charges $50 to copy and paste information you provide her into another resume, and then stops responding to emails asking for a second draft or explanation.
Kudos to the rest of you for providing a decent service…it’s scams like theresumechick that give mom & pop resume rewriters likeyourselves a bad name.
How much time/effort would you put into something for $50?
Resume writing is something that requires a lot of time and a lot of effort and expecting something drastic from a $50 investment seems unrealistic to me — especially when it comes to your entire career.
Again, I’m not defending Karen. I don’t even know Karen…I’m just pointing out what’s obvious to me. She may be a scammer, but she might just be someone who offers something that’s worth $50.
Here’s an example of something that happened to me.
I let a friend try to bleach my hair once because I was being cheap. After I bought the supplies, I spent maybe $10-$12 total. We had to bleach it FOUR times and then it still looked banana yellow and my skin was damaged. It was awful!
Well, a few years later, I wanted my hair bleached again so I dropped $90 for a bleach job at the salon to avoid what had happened before. And guess what? It was done right. The first time. And in only 30 minutes.
I tipped her an extra $20 because I was so grateful!
Anyway, to mirror what Kathy said, you should make an informed decision before hiring ANYONE to perform a service, no matter what it is (a resume service, an electrician, a dentist, a lawyer, whatever).
You can be cheap when it comes to tee shirts, but when it comes to the things that have an influence on your quality of life, I don’t suggest shopping for the cheapest price.
Live and learn right? At least you didn’t lose hundreds of dollars!
We’re not here pushing our services. I do know Kathy and I know me and we are very passionate about what we do. We come here to inform and educate consumers.
I don’t always agree with Nick (Ask the Headhunter) but I have been following him for several years because he offers a really great point of view that comes from a lot of experience.
We (the resume writers) don’t always comment on the other blog topics, but we are here reading and learning and we take opportunities to share what we know when we can.
And we don’t always agree either!
However, what we do agree on is that we don’t like the business practices that The Ladders uses so we come here and comment on that as much as possible because it brings us all down and tarnishes the resume writing / career coaching industry.
I’ve never made a single sale here and that’s not why I’m here. I’m here defending what we (the “mom & pop” writers) do each day.
Nearly all of what you assert happens to be supprisingly accurate and that makes me ponder why I hadn’t looked at this with this light before. Your piece truly did turn the light on for me as far as this specific subject matter goes. Nevertheless at this time there is one particular point I am not necessarily too comfy with so whilst I try to reconcile that with the actual core theme of your position, permit me observe what all the rest of the subscribers have to say.Nicely done. | 2019-04-18T11:09:15Z | https://www.asktheheadhunter.com/1080/theladders-marc-cenedella-makes-a-phone-call |
Jamie Sangster, Lt. Commander in the Royal Canadian Navy, never considered himself a natural entrepreneur. Though he has 20 years of military service, he had no experience in sales or business ownership. “I was never one of those kids who put up a lemonade stand in the summer,” he says. And yet, the idea of building his own business appealed – for the flexibility it offered, and the challenge of taking on the risks and rewards – leading Jamie to decide to leave the Navy. | 2019-04-23T08:05:24Z | https://www.princesoperationentrepreneur.ca/our-stories/the-winding-road-to-entrepreneurial-success-expect-the-unexpected |

Latrikunda United beat Lions of Banjul 3-2 at the Serrekunda East Mini Stadium but remained unsafe in the second tier despite their hard fought win.
The Banjul-based football academy team is one place above safety and need to win their remaining league matches to improve their chances of staying in the second tier for another season and avoid relegation to the third tier.
PSV Wellingara defeated Young Africans 1-0 at the Independence Stadium in Bakau to level points with Samger on top of the second division league standings. Hawks also thrashed Brufut United 3-1 to keep their top-flight promotion aspirations alive.
PSV Wellingara and Samger have now clinched 32 points each after nineteen matches. Red Hawks and Brufut United have collected 25 points in nineteen league matches.
Lions of Banjul has grabbed 20 points in nineteen league matches and Latrikunda United have 19 points after nineteen league matches. | 2019-04-23T22:43:20Z | http://thepoint.gm/africa/gambia/article/lk-utd-psv-wellingara-hooks-vital-victories |

Remember this guy? I mentioned Rob Spence in this post a while back; he’s now working on several film projects around his own and others’ prosthetic gear. Lots to think about here, in the ways he frames the possibilities and discussion. | 2019-04-25T18:16:28Z | https://ablersite.org/2011/08/30/deus-ex-the-eyeborg-documentarian/ |
Getting in shape is a dreadful, tiresome, and challenging task. You will have to watch out what you eat and work out for losing weight and staying active. However, the internet is full of tips for weight loss, but not every tip is effective. Since the reliability of the tips cannot be authenticated, it is hard to decide which tips are worth trying.
This is the reason why many people end up following tips that are not helpful and making mistakes. Don’t worry, we are here to help you.
In this post, we have listed the most common mistakes made by people trying to get in shape. Have a look!
Do you know any fitness fanatic who is trying fad diets? I didn’t think so. This is because fit people bring a change in their eating habits and lifestyle rather than trying different diets. To help you embrace healthy eating, you need to learn to listen to your body. By answering questions like what food keeps you full or what makes you feel good or what keeps you energized during workouts, you can know what works for you. Hence, if you want to maintain your fitness level, then you should not try every diet.
There is a very little chance that there is a person who refuses to take a bite of chocolate and be okay with it. Since nobody is perfect, people can’t eat perfectly all the time. In order to stay healthy and fit, you need a little cheat in a meal. This doesn’t mean that your every meal should be a cheat. It is best to decide a day when you are allowed to cheat in your meals.
The reason you need a cheat day is that you will not go crazy and won’t feel bitter about your health. This will ensure you will not have to feel guilty about having a cookie or a chocolate. So, once in a while treat yourself with all the things you are missing out. You just have to keep in mind not to make it a habit as you will end up wasting all your hard work.
There are many people who believe that in order to get in shape, you need to focus on how often you work out. Though you need to exercise, getting 7 to 8 hours sleep is necessary. When you get enough sleep, you will get the energy you require to work out on daily basis. This is useful for regulating your metabolism, give your athletic performance a boost, and repairs your muscles. So, by getting 8 hours sleep you can stay fit and healthy.
In the end, if you want to have a balanced diet and stay fit, HCG diet is a great choice. There is a debate going on whether the HCG diet is effective for weight loss or not. The following review will help provide information whether HCG diet works or not.

The BC Society of Transition Houses (BCSTH) is a provincial umbrella organization providing support and training to over 125 Transition, Second and Third Stage Houses, Safe Homes, and over 86 PEACE programs and Violence is Preventable programs across BC.
We are writing to express our overall support for Bill C-75, as well as to identify its shortfalls. The following provisions are positive steps towards keeping women and their children safer from violence from an intimate partner.
Rendering assaults involving strangulation a more serious level of assault, equivalent to assault causing bodily harm. This is warranted given that strangulation raises the risk of intimate femicide sevenfold.
Expanding the sentencing provision that requires judges to treat as aggravating the fact domestic violence was committed against a spouse, to include dating partners as well as former partners. This is particularly important given that women are at greatest risk of lethal violence when they leave a relationship.
Reversing the onus for bail is justified by the fact that half of domestic violence offenders breach bail and half of these involve assault, criminal harassment and murder. We note, however, that this will not apply to those without a criminal record for domestic violence.
Replacing ‘spouse’ and ‘common-law partner’ to the more inclusive term ‘intimate partner’ and broadening it to include past partners.
While the increased sentences for repeated domestic violence offences proposed by Bill C-75 may be justified, we note that, currently, maximum sentences are rarely imposed for domestic violence. The proposed legislation takes some positive steps but continues a piecemeal approach to violence against women. In addition to well-trained and responsive criminal justice, legal aid and law enforcement systems, women need meaningful access to safe and affordable housing, social welfare and child care and adequately funded, community based anti-violence services. | 2019-04-20T22:38:58Z | https://bcsth.ca/blog/bcsth-response-to-bill-c-75/ |
The Packers are a perennial contender. The Browns are the most ridiculed team in the league. But take away Aaron Rodgers and how different are they?
In the last 2½ seasons, the Cleveland Browns are 4-35.
That’s right. Four wins and 35 losses, a .102 winning percentage. They’ve won one of their last 27 games and are winless (0-7) this season.
The Green Bay Packers, on the other hand, have played in the NFC Championship game twice in the last three years. Just two weeks ago, they were 4-1 and had the second-best odds (9-to-2) to win the Super Bowl, according to Bovada.lv.
To do so, I consulted a high-ranking executive for an NFL team who took time from his busy schedule to go through the rosters position by position and discuss the implications.
The gist of our conversation was this: The Packers have better players, but not by all that much. Yet they’re a perennial title contender, whereas the Browns are the NFL’s laughingstock.
Accompanying this column is a synopsis of the scout’s breakdown. The conversation was last week, before Brett Hundley’s first start as the Packers’ quarterback, and before Browns tackle Joe Thomas sustained a season-ending torn triceps.
For brevity, here we’ll include only the scout’s bottom line. Each position was judged as a big edge, medium edge, small edge or push.
The Packers had two big edges (receiver and safety) to the Browns’ one (running back).
Each team had one medium edge: the Packers’ defensive front (their outside linebackers included), the Browns’ linebackers.
Each had a small edge: the Packers’ offensive line, the Browns’ tight ends.
And two positions were a push: cornerback and specialists.
The Packers come out ahead, no question. But the difference is hardly overwhelming.
Another way to compare is by the color-coded ratings for each roster. That tells you which team has more difference makers and good players. Those are the guys that win games.
Packers: Mike Daniels, Nick Perry (minus), Clay Matthews (minus).
Packers: David Bakhtiari (plus), Bryan Bulaga, Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams, Randall Cobb, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Morgan Burnett, Mason Crosby.
Browns: Joel Bitonio, Kevin Zeitler, Christian Kirksey, Jason McCourty.
Look at the blues. Those are the guys who change games. None for either team without Rodgers.
The Packers have three reds to the Browns’ one, and eight golds to the Browns’ five.
So the Packers again come out ahead. But it doesn’t come close to accounting for the difference between these two teams.
Some undoubtedly will see this as an indictment of Ted Thompson, the Packers’ general manager. His roster, with the exception of the quarterback, isn’t that much better than the league’s worst team’s.
Thompson’s first five drafts were outstanding (Rodgers, Nick Collins, Greg Jennings, Matthews, Nelson, Jermichael Finley, Josh Sitton, T.J. Lang). He signed a franchise-changing free agent (Charles Woodson) early in his tenure as well.
Since then? Painfully few big hits in the draft, especially on the defensive side of the ball. And he was much too slow to see that there’s such a thing as strategic free-agent signings. He deserves to be dinged for both.
But there’s a larger truth here as well. Namely, that not all that much separates most NFL teams, except for the quarterbacks.
Think about it. You swap quarterbacks between most teams in this league, and the franchises’ fortunes swap with them.
Put Aaron Rodgers on the Bengals and Andy Dalton on the Packers, and the Packers become the Bengals, and the Bengals become the Packers. Same with Rodgers and Philip Rivers, or Joe Flacco, or Eli Manning, Jacoby Brissett or Carson Palmer. You can go on.
Of course there are exceptions. Most years one or two defenses are a cut above. Seattle has been there for several seasons, though now the Seahawks are starting to decline. Same for Denver. The Jaguars are knocking on that door.
And Kansas City might have the best overall roster in the league. If you put Rodgers or Tom Brady on the Chiefs or Seahawks or Broncos or Jaguars, you’d have not just a contender but the Super Bowl favorite.
But those are the exceptions, and maintaining that caliber of a defense for more than a couple years is almost impossible. The draft, salary cap and free agency see to that.
Then look at what Carson Wentz has done for Philadelphia in only his second NFL season. The Eagles suddenly are as good as anybody, and it’s because of him. To think the Browns passed on drafting that guy. Wow.
So sure, there are differences between some NFL rosters. Coaching matters, too. But a lot more often than not, one player separates teams in this league.
At the end of our conversation, I asked the scout how many games the Browns would win with Rodgers at the helm. His answer? At least 10.
Here is a synopsis of a high-ranking NFL executive’s position-by-position comparison between the Green Bay Packers and Cleveland Browns. The conversation was just a few days after Aaron Rodgers’ broken collarbone but before Browns tackle Joe Thomas’ season-ending torn triceps. The categories are: big edge, medium edge, small edge or push.
Packers: Aaron Jones, Ty Montgomery, Jamaal Williams.
Browns: Isiah Crowell, Duke Johnson, Matt Dayes.
Scout’s call: Big edge Browns.
The interview was done before Jones’ 131-yard game against New Orleans, which might have shrunk the gap.
Packers: Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams, Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison.
Browns: Ricardo Louis, Rashad Higgins, Kenny Britt, Kasen Williams.
Scout’s call: Big edge Packers.
Packers: Martellus Bennett, Lance Kendricks, Richard Rodgers.
Browns: Seth DeValve, David Njoku, Randall Telfer.
Scout’s call: Small edge Browns.
The scout chose Bennett as the best of the group.
Packers: David Bakhtiari, Lane Taylor, Corey Linsley, Jahri Evans, Bryan Bulaga.
Browns: Joe Thomas, Joel Bitonio, JC Tretter, Kevin Zeitler, Shon Coleman.
Scout’s call: Small edge Packers.
Packers (Includes outside linebackers): Clay Matthews, Mike Daniels, Kenny Clark, Nick Perry.
Browns: Myles Garrett, Trevon Coley, Danny Shelton, Emmanuel Ogbah.
Scout’s call: Medium edge Packers.
Packers: Blake Martinez, Jake Ryan, Joe Thomas.
Browns: Christian Kirksey, Joe Schobert, Jamie Collins.
Scout’s call: Medium edge Browns.
Packers: Davon House, Kevin King, Damarious Randall, Josh Hawkins.
Browns: Jason McCourty, Jamar Taylor, Briean Boddy-Calhoun, Michael Jordan.
Packers: Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Morgan Burnett, Kentrell Brice, Josh Jones.
Browns: Jabrill Peppers, Derrick Kindred, Ibraheim Campbell.
Packers: Mason Crosby (K), Justin Vogel (P), Taybor Pepper (LS), Trevor Davis (R).
Browns: Zane Gonzalez (K), Britton Colquitt (P), Charley Hughlett (LS), Jabrill Peppers (R).
“I’d take Crosby, Colquitt and Peppers,” the scout said. | 2019-04-19T19:16:34Z | https://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2017/10/28/dougherty-without-aaron-rodgers-packers-just-another-team/806393001/ |
