I want to thank our movers on both sides of the move. The movers in Maine walked us thru the initial move and when they got to the house they worked hard in getting everything moved without any issues. Then Darren took over and brought the furniture to Iowa. He kept us informed along the way when he arrived. He was very prompt and the 2 guys that helped him worked very hard to get all our furniture in without damaging anything. I would recommend Allied to anyone who would be moving. Thanks for all the hard work and professional attitude.

The down side of course is that the phone is trying to guess what noise you want to pick out (typically the subject in the view finder), while trying to cancel out or deaden the rest of the environment (something found on mid to high end cameras for years). This becomes a problem when you want to focus in on a single part of a larger group, but want the audio of the larger group...
Why not compare the HTC One too?
CaedenVIt is this audio feature which the HTC One got in trouble for using on accident I don't know how you consider that to be an "accident". The HTC One was found to be using the EXACT SAME component which was designed by Nokia and was SUPPOSED to be manufactured exclusively for Nokia...A lot of the blame falls on STMicroelectronics, ie>the company that manufactured the component in question, but it would be incredibly naive to think that HTC did not know that they were not authorized to use it. Honestly, saying they don't know what's in their phones isn't much of a defense, that's just playing dumb.In HTCs press release they did not apologize, they said they were disappointed that Nokia was granted an injunction. HTC tried to get away with using unlicensed stolen microphone tech from Nokia, and they got caught. The only "accident" was getting caught. I usually hate patent disputes and stifling innovation (like Apples patented rectangle with rounded corners) but when Nokia spends money researching and developing a microphone technology which is clearly (hey, it's a pun!
Yes, both are phone based microphones, and you are simply not going to get a 'studio quality' sound out of either of them. But lets say that you are reccording your kids in elementary school. The 'joy' of recording any non-professional players is that there will ALWAYS be someone way off pitch. When using a normal microphone it will always make the exception stand out way more than the general band. Meaning that even though it was painful to listen to live, it will ALWAYS sound worse on the recording. With a microphone array like this where errant sounds undergo some filtering you end up with a recording that is much more true to life. It may still sound rough...

The most important thing, from that, is now I’ve learned that I’m fully capable of, given enough experience and doing it more and more, producing works that people can watch and experience as they would any other work. At first, coming into the subject, I felt that my biggest strength was only in pre-production, but from this course, I’ve learned my strengths in post-production, and my interest for it too. Conversely, I’ve also experienced my lack of enthusiasm and skills in dealing with the production stage itself, choosing jobs that tend to focus on one technical field, rather than having to worry about everything at once.

After 1-2: I wanted to try averting the daylight by artificially trying to use color grading to emulate night time – or at least overcast skies. To do this, I tried to cool down the colors as much as possible with blue to light blue everything but I don’t think I put other factors into mind.
Clip 2 is also outdoors lighting, however the lighting is focused on back-lighting, with the shadows on the face.
After 2-1: I wanted to emulate the vintage filters commonly seen on Instagram, so I used red shadows, orange midtones and blowing up the highlights to a really light yellow, to overexpose the clip. This created a burned, summer tone, and also the orange midtones meant the shadows on the faces were able to be brought up to more natural skin tones. The skies weren’t as evenly graded, and the edges near the leaves are still very blue. I think this could have been fixed if I’d been able to do a secondary color grading, where I picked out everything blue and pushed it to a yellowish-white, however that may have changed the color on the singlet.
After 2-2: In a similar attempt with the first clip, I tried to change the entire tone of the clip – whereas it was sunny and warm, I wanted to create a cooler, wintery feel. To do this, I first made the shadows bluer, but also selected less tones to be considered the shadow. I also pushed down the midtones, giving more tones to be considered highlights, then gave it more blue, meaning the sky even bluer and colder. Finally I desaturated the very small scope of midtones that I had, but I think that probably wasn’t as successful as with the first clip.
Clip 3 is indoors lighting, with a very bright background.
After 3-2: Feeling like making something ultra stylish, I purposefully used contrasting highlights vs midtones (opposite ends on the hue wheel), and also a purple shadow, much like the retro-pop art styles.
Clip 4 is overcast outdoors lighting, but my focus was the solid red in the foreground and the small reds throughout the mid-ground and background.
After 4-1: Using the secondary color grading tool, I opted to select only the red (using show mask), then inverted the selection. With everything but the reds selected, I desaturated everything. I think it worked very well, and if I had taken more time to more carefully select more red, I wouldn’t have the jagged lines of color.
After 4-2: This time, without inverting the selection, I rotated the color wheel so that all reds became purple. This actually brought out a lot of the inconsistent color selections that I didn’t notice before – when things look purple, especially in the skin, it becomes more apparent to the eye.

The shoot was difficult for me to achieve, because I wasn’t quite sure of what was expected, nor did I have the time to properly experiment. My biggest issue was trying to achieve good white balance. In this sense, I experienced great technical difficulty in my attempt to capture a well color balanced image. However, because of previous chances to use the Z5, I had little problem setting up the camera in other aspects.
I also had problems capturing abstract footage. It was further impeded by the fact that I had to leave early in order to do filming for another subject, and also due to the aforementioned white balance issue. I only had about 10 minutes in the end to choose and shoot some footage, most of which was around the vicinity of the classroom. However, looking at some of the footage from other classmates, I could see how I also boxed myself into thinking only about camera angles closer to my eye level, and mostly wide shots which would include lots of different movement within the frame; some of the other groups used close-up shots, or extremely low angle shots, which only captures one small movement, and not try to have a dozen things happening at once.
Editing abstractly is a new process for me which included more lateral thinking. It was helpful to have a framework of haiku to work with, however I found it easier to create an abstract meaning between the images and other images and sound. For example when the climber is seen climbing, I overlaid text about Climb Mount Fuji, and images of the traffic being stuck at the lights are juxtaposed with free flowing water through a grate. In this way, I allowed the relationship between the images, that is, the closure created by the viewer, to tell the narrative instead of forcing a story onto them. This way of storytelling also allowed me to use the individual parts to tell their own stories with the clips and audio around them, rather than the entire part telling just one story.
(Please note: At time of publishing this post, I was having an issue with Vimeo where it shows I was still uploading the video despite having begun uploading it 2 days prior. I am aiming to try re-uploading the video when I am on campus again on Wednesday. I’m not quite sure why this was happening as when I was uploading from uni, it said upload complete, and therefore I’d left it as done and dusted. I apologize, and I hope you don’t consider it a late submission.)

While previously I’ve focused on technical aspects of pre- and production, this time I will examine the importance of actors during production. Also, I will engage with the creative and technical differences between focusing on sound and sight.
In my reading of Mackendrick’s ‘The Director and the Actor’ (2004), a few points stood out to me as interesting. The idea that actors should have a general technical idea of how production works, and the usage of props to enact a more natural performance from the actors.
The idea that an actor should be able to have “the unselfconscious and automatic ability to adjust to the position of the camera, a sense of its place…and an understanding of continuity” (180) is a concept which I have only read in print for the first time, but something I’d always thought should be the case. Similar to a stage performer’s need to understand voice projection or blocking, a screen actor’s repertoire of skills should include the aforementioned awareness of camera angles. While obviously there are dedicated roles for these factors in filming – the camera operator, the continuity person etc – it would make the process a lot easier if the actor acts like, as Mackendrick suggested, an athlete in their automatic physical response when acting. Similarly, because of the ability to cut closer or intercut between visual aids in screen, actors need to be aware of constant scrutiny across every facet of their visual presentation as possible; they have to not only be “imagining” their characters (179-180) but they also have to perform and act out every part of that character in relation to the camera, and more importantly, the possibilities that the editor may create from their acting. As Mackendrick noted, subtext and nuances created in post-production editing does rely on the actor understanding that a meaningful glance needs to be conveyed through a series of cuts, not necessarily a moment of silence as the action is performed (181), and so the actor would have to, in this example, understand not only camera angles, but also how their action could be utilized to the maximum when cut between different angles. In this sense, Mackendrick’s assertion that an actor cannot not be informed in facets of technical production is incredibly insightful.
However, if an actor is not skilled, or as Mackendrick puts it, too “self-conscious” (or, inversely, too over confident) (186), there are ways in which the director, in working with said actors, can create a natural frame in which the actor can be in relation to the camera. With props, the director can essentially direct the actor towards a certain mark, and have them stay there for the duration of that mark while using or interacting with the prop. This, Mackendrick describes, has no inherent significance to the narrative, yet can occupy the actor’s focus and/or overall body-language in a more natural way (186). For example, when fiddling with a bottle top, or doing something like dressing themselves, the actor can much better pace and organize the way in which they shift focus from and to their co-star, and the prop/action at hand. It can also negate any over-the-top or unnaturally dedicated focus the actors may have with each other while on screen, thereby avoiding a “pretentious” cinema moment (187). This I feel to be a point that I would take on when I watch TV or film from now on. Especially in important dramatic moments, or even in innane dialogue, I will be watching for the existence of props that have no narrative meaning – ie, drinking coffee in the morning may have some narrative meaning in the sense that the character is tired, but picking at their toast would probably have no narrative meaning – but instead help create a paced and natural way that the actors speak to each other. This is also something which I wish I had read sooner, because in my short film for another subject, which featured dialogue heavy chunks, I didn’t direct the actors to focus more on their prop (or, for that matter, provide much prop) which would, in the next few weeks, provide a challenge when editing.
In Bresson’s 1986 ‘Notes on the Cinematographer’, a clear distinction is drawn between the virtues of sound, and that of vision. “What is for the eye must not duplicate what is for the ear” (50), especially, draws attention to the separate but equally important roles each plays in a screenplay. This was something which was mirrored in screenwriting lectures, where I was told to not say what can be acted. This in turn translates to sound and sight, respectively, where we do not hear what can be seen (dialogue vs action), yet we don’t have to see what can be conveyed much clearer with sound (a series of actions where we can just hear the sound for it). Having not had much experience when dealing with sound, thinking about both visual and sound as separate parts of a greater whole is something I missed out on doing productions this semester.
Bresson also makes a point that “the ear goes more towards the within, the eye towards the outer” (51), which extends upon the idea that sight and sound speak to different parts of the mind. Using this logic, that means if the scene calls for a lot of emotion, whether to reflect the character on screen or to evoke one into the audience, the is more effective to focus on a richer sound track than to, for example, show a lot of emotion-evoking imagery. However, the two should be working in sync as well – to explain that a character is energetic and cheerful, it’s better to show both the character being upbeat, using dynamic shots and cuts, and also an upbeat soundtrack with a fast tempo or a series of sounds that are quick (ie not long, slow sounds).
These ideas, while new, are ones which in some ways I’ve already implemented in my work. However, in future works I plan to pay even closer attention to these factors.

Clown Train (Jaime Donnelly, 2009) uses a mix of discordant and minimalistic sound, as well as hard and manipulated lighting to create a tense, eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
The sound used in Clown Train is mostly non-diegetic, atmospheric sounds, such as a high-pitched whine – much like the squeal of brakes – and a strange, rhythmic drumming – like tapping on a window. It also featured very minimalistic dialogue from the two characters. There is no background train sounds, such as wheels running over tracks or the sound of engines, alluding to the fact that the train is stationary. There is an echo to the voices that doesn’t exist in the buzzing of flickering lights and the rhythmic tapping, which would suggest that the latter two are intentionally added in post-production.
This sort of minimalistic and highly discomforting mix of sounds is most prevalent in horror-thrillers, because the lack of background sounds, or soft background sounds, lead the audience to pay closer attention, and feel more vulnerable. However, whilst in traditional thriller films, the stretch of quiet sounds is usually punctuated by a sudden loud bang, in Clown Train, aurally there wasn’t a sudden crescendo, save for when the clown shouts ‘BASHES his head in’. Yet this line wasn’t the climax of the actual scene.
Visually speaking, the color palette was extremely stark and de-saturated, meaning the introduction of the overly colourful clown was even more pronounced. The director and cinematographer must have made a conscious decision to ensure that everything but the clown is in a neutral and lowkey color – both costume, set and lighting – so that the clown is extremely standout. There is also an interesting usage of lighting to further the story and help with transitions – a sudden flicker of the light sees the clown move across space, and also moves time forward during the plot. Therefore, the light acts as both a plot device, a transition device, and an atmospheric device.
Finally, in terms of narrative, while the visuals and audio compels the audience to continue watching, the final meaning of the plot is somewhat lost, at least to me. However, an excellent mix of the previous two points mean that the overall tone and style carries the narrative across.
Clown Train creates a strong, alienating atmosphere through a mix of discordant sound and harsh lighting.

Non-Fiction editing and Brian Hill
In Baker’s recount of Brian Hill’s career – Brian Hill the Musical Documentary (2012) – a key point raised early in his career was that of editorial clarity and sensitivity. Unlike fiction works, non-fiction works are in fact of real people, who have lives outside and away from the narrative of the project on hand. At the same time, non-fiction works can still undergo traditional production methods, such as selective filming, biased narrator and juxtaposition in editing, etc.
For example, in the Sylvania Waters case, the matriarch was shown to be at a hairdresser whilst her grandchild is being born. Whether or not this was the case, the fact that on screen it was depicted as such, shows the power of editing in the post-production process, and in meaning making.
In my non-fiction project, my partner and I have been very upfront with our subjects and with the owner of the location of the shoot: we will show them work in progress clips, and show them samples of writing as well, because we both believed that they should be happy with the material that is being transmitted of their selves and their livelihoods. Of course, this may not apply across every non-fiction project, but for the most part, if the subject is made to feel comfortable knowing their story and identity is safe, and they feel to be a collaborator rather than a name on a piece of release form, then they may even provide better material for the project.
Baker also brings up an interesting point when recounting Brian Hill’s later work, The Club. Here, editing was done sophisticatedly, and with a great mind on what meaning is being created with the particular parallel editing style. Editing in non-fiction work does not necessarily have to be an unavoidable evil – there is room for creating narrative without inserting the filmmaker (or docu-maker) into the story. In The Club, music, images and juxtaposition are said to be utilized in such a manner as to create both tone and style for the project, but also a sub-level narrative on social class in England without having the subjects or a narrator say so. This is a unique way of creating meaning, because in most contemporary documentaries, if there is meaning to be inferred, often times there is a narrator to explicitly state that meaning. While The Club does use a narrator who speaks directly to the camera, the narrator is also still a character within the story, and is in no way omniscient or detached.
Non-fiction documentaries require a special kind of attention when filmed and edited, because there is an inherent assumption that whatever that is being depicted is ‘real’, and so the meaning that is made through the media materials have to be treated with delicacy, or if it’s a negative piece, with sophistication.

Writing for short film can be challenging, given the short constraints of both time and possibly resources. Most importantly, short films require the utmost conciseness in depiction, as the audience is only expecting to have to stay for 7-10 minutes.
When reading the sample short films from Cooper and Dancyger (2005), the most striking point to me was the lack of dialogue, and the heavy focus on visual narration. For example, instead of having the protagonist Marty say things such as “what can I do to make my date like me?” we see a process of him researching what it is that makes women attracted to men – “TEARS=LOVIN’” – and physically trying out ways to make himself cry, and finally settling on his baseball cards. Instead of any dialogue, the script opts to show him going through his ideas instead.
As a result, the script is overall more captivating as the audience is drawn to watch the story unfold and create their own understanding, instead of being told how the character is feeling or thinking. Furthermore, it allows the writer to tell a deeper story of a character in a limited amount of time: we know a lot about Marty’s love of baseball cards, and his bachelor ways, via the visual language of seeing his apartment and his actions at the funeral.
The other important factor in a short film is to have distinct and succinct characters. In this case, it’s easier to create characters who easily fit into the archetypes – or the characteristics of classic archetypes. Each of the short films also feature very little number of characters, if not only 2 major characters and less than 3 more side characters. This allows deeper character development in shorter time frames, but also allows the audience to not be confused by too many on screen characters at once, especially since they won’t have very much time to learn the names, and so would rely on visual and personality traits (as well as continuity) to remember who is whom.
Similarly, location would also need to be visually succinct and easily recognizable: a funeral parlour; suburban street; train station; Nazi occupied France etc, are all locations with easily recognizable signs, and would require little to no signage for the audience.
These two factors are key in writing a strong short film, which will carry across during production when the director and crew are able to glean from the script the tone and style with which to convey in such a short time.

Lenny – Alex’s Cut
Lenny was the first time I ever filmed in a very industrial setting, with camera setup, boom mics and crew roles, and the first time I used traditional editing methods when editing. Below are my reflections of the process.
Post: I feel that post production is the most interesting and fun part for me. To me, choosing and editing shots together is extremely interesting, because I can have control over aspects which I couldn’t during the shoot. So far, what we edited was mostly for technical reasons, ie to clean up and cut bad shots, for continuity, etc. It was extremely rewarding to attempt J and L cuts, where

Nostalgia of the Light – An Analysis
Watching a small clip from Guzmann’s Nostalgia for the Light (2010), the most captivating moment for me was when the black and white contrasted images of the craters on the moon fades to a black and white kaleidoscope of the shadows of the leaves on the kitchen window. It was at this point that I properly understood the power of visual juxtaposition in this piece.
Nostalgia for the Light relies very heavily on montaging juxtaposed clips with a voice-over narrative. The images are composed with superior cinematography in mind, and are mostly of still subjects, with hints of movement only available when there is actual movement of the subjects in the background, such as shifting of the light and shadows, or the leaves on a tree swaying in the wind. This adds a stillness to the aesthetic of the film, because while the cuts are not long, they are not rapid or dynamic either. The framing is extremely intimate, with close to extreme closeups of the inanimate subjects. The lighting on these subjects (which are all either everyday homely items, or astronomy instruments) are very warm, and even though sometimes there are strong shadows, they are never rendered alienated or intimidating. The colors are also very vibrant and saturated. This is contrasted very strikingly with the highly stark and monochrome images of the moon at the beginning of the clip.
The audio is extremely minimalistic, with the focal sound being the narration, or when there is no narration, diegetic foreground noises – eg the grinding of the gears on the telescope; the squeaking of the hatch opening on the roof. Furthermore, in ground sound, there is the sound of nature, to complement the environment of the frame during the montage of household items. These
nature sounds included the chirping of birds and some light breeze noises, and may or may not be diegetic, but is more likely to be mixed in during post-production.
Narratively speaking, it was a little confusing when trying to understand the contents of the narration in relation with the visual. Logically speaking, there is little correlation between what the narrator is talking about (Chile, astronomy and social revolution) and the images that we are shown (household items such as furniture, pictures on the wall etc). It isn’t until the location of the montage moves onto the dusty remains of the observatory that I can begin to form a more coherent correlation between the visual and the audio. Alternatively, it is possible that the visual media and the audio isn’t meant to have an immediate correlation, but exist to complement the tone of the other – that is, the intimate and comfortable visuals complement the reminiscent nature of the narration, and the calm slow tones of the speaker complements the softness of the images.
One other interesting moment is when specks of light and dust becomes super imposed onto a shot of a tree blowing in the wind. The colorful image (blue, yellow and green) starts fading into a almost monochromatic and impossibly detailed shot of specks of dust and bokeh floating in the air. This leads me to think that the dust and bokeh were treated with special effects. It is also a
beautiful transition from the urban setting of the house to the more foreign settings of the observatory. In a clip that is heavy on cuts between changing visuals, changing physical location using a fade seems to be a conscious effort to minimize a jarring transition from home-life to astronomy.
Nostalgia for the Light contains many layers of deeper and inferred meaning, drawn from both aesthetics and content. It beautifully incorporates photographic cinematography and slow camera movements to create a sense of calm and stillness, and mixes this visual with a continuous but non-discordant audio narrative and other background audio materials, both diegetic and non-diegetic

Sound production, manipulation and mixing is something which I do not have much prior experience in. Ruoff (1993) outlines some interesting and important factors when working with sound in media, which I explore below.
Having come from a linguistic background, Ruoff’s outline of how conventional spoken conversation and dialogues differ greatly from scripted or written dialogue, purely because the spoken dialogue will always contain interjections and “hemming and hamming” as a natural and necessary part of lingual semiotics. However, it was very interesting to then expand on this knowledge to the scope of documentaries, within the discourse of audience understanding of conventions. For example, if a conversation that was supposed to be candid, or observational “fly on the wall” was too clean, or too organized and orderly, the audience would immediately feel that it was put on, regardless of whether the camera frames the subjects in a ‘hidden camera’ manner, or any other visual cues. By the same token, if a face-to-face interview was too disorderly with interjections of “uh huh” or other verbal prompts, it would be distracting to the viewer or listener. This fully explains the importance of recording through separate channels (and using directional mics – shotgun mics) especially during an interview, as to minimize and have full control in post over the interjections if
they occur during the interview.
It’s also interesting to learn about interview techniques that are specific for the screen, or for audio productions. My background was in written and published journalism, so interview techniques mostly taught us to not use leading yes/no questions, or to allow the subject to tell their own story through their own words, not through your questions. This remains true for video and audio interviews, but even more importantly, it’s a matter of recording and interviewing for the answers to be used in the final product. So, the whole idea of asking the interviewee to answer in a full sentence allows the editors in post to leave out the interviewer’s question. This obviously goes against a ‘natural’ conversation flow, but this is a discourse unique to interviews, where the staged theatrics of a ‘conversation’ is how we expect a successful and coherent interview to go.
The above points are majorly important to the projects which I am working on this semester, but are also widely applicable when creating any kind of media product which may include sound.

Brazil Comes of Age
In the end, only the stadia were built – the rest was deemed unaffordable. And those are marred by allegations of corruption that raised the cost of the Brasilia stadium 68%, among other problems. The nation simply ran out of money to deliver on the promises, and much of that money seems to have disappeared.
Anger over this continuing corruption boiled into the streets a year ago in a massive popular protest. It was an unusual show of solidarity among a people who were just beginning to feel that they were wealthy, but the corrupt system was holding them back. Brazil was starting to function much more like a developed nation.
It is the reaction to this feeling of dissatisfaction that has everyone worried, not only in the government. There is the real possibility that there will be large protests outside the games as Brazilians pick up the spirit of last year’s demonstrations and make themselves heard again. Protests flared up again in May, and despite rather severe crackdowns the organized effort in cities across the nation get their message out.

These huge sports productions are a huge waste of money. Wasnt it like 31 billion on the Sochi olympics? Now no one wants to bid on the 2022 olympics because the cost will be way out of line. I don’t blame Brazilians for being pissed off about the world cup its a huge waste.

The whole sports thing has gotten way, way out of hand. It will have to come down a notch or several.

RACING CAR SIMULATORS FOR HIRE
We offer a range of Race Simulators for hire for events in the Midlands, central UK, and further afield upon request. Choose your race sim from smart race seat frames with force feedback wheels, virtual reality race simulators, full motion simulators, an inflatable F1 car simulator, or combinations of these different types.
A great attraction for corporate events and promotions with various branding opportunities for promotional use. On the VR/Full Motion simulator there is space for a 50x70cm branded panel between the support posts for the screen, space on the back of the seat for low tack graphics, and space around the base of the rear half of the sim for more branded panels.
New to our hire range is our VR Race Simulator where participants can immerse themselves in the full race car experience while spectators can see whats happening on the large curved screen. Compete against the clock for the fastest lap and try and get your name to the top of the magnetic 'Top Gear' style lap time board. The Virtual Reality Race Simulator can be combined with the Full Motion Seat - see below.
The VR Race Simulator is supplied staffed to ensure a smooth running event and requires an operating area of 8x4ft.
A minimum user age of 14 applies to this game.
The Full Motion Race Simulator is another new addition for 2017. Harness yourself into the motion race seat and physically experience the bumps, the turns, the braking and acceleration as you race around the track. As you accelerate the seat will tilt backwards to simulate the surge, brake and it leans forward, in corners it leans to the sides simulating the roll of the car, and you'll certainly feel the bumps if you go over the kerbs or end up in the gravel! Supplied with a large curved screen this can be combined with virtual reality for a racing experience about as close to real as you can get.
Our motion simulator is again supplied staffed and requires an area of 8x4ft.
A minimum user age of 14 applies to the motion simulator.
Our Full Motion, Virtual Reality Race Simulator in Action...
The movement settings of the full motion race simulator are adjustable so the severity of the movement can varied as required. In the video above the movement is on the more lively side!
Inflatable F1 race Simulator
Below is our fantastic inflatable race car simulator complete with genuine race seat, force feedback steering, and the option of auto or manual shift gears. Because it's only inflated once in situ venues with restricted access such as single doors are no problem. The simulator is supplied complete with a custom made Top gear style magnetic leader board to keep track of laps times and normally comes with a member of staff to run it on your behalf.
This simulator measures 18ft in length and 8ft 6in wide.
This racing simulator can be used with virtual reality but not with the full motion base.

It’s that setting — a giant cavern in the middle of an Arizona desert — that we’re most interested to see. Some sites were lucky enough to visit the set and tease us with a glimpse of the massive set piece. It’s there that Wanderer meets three of the most important characters in “The Host”: Jared, the boyfriend of the woman whose body she has captured; Jeb, the woman’s eccentric uncle; and Ian, a human that she falls in love with all on her own.
The catch to this story is that the human Wanderer is attached to, Melanie Stryder, is still aware of her surroundings. Typically when Souls are placed in a person’s brain, they wipe out — or at least subdue — the human’s personality. Not so with Melanie, which leads to some interesting romantic tension between Wanderer/Melanie, Jared and Ian.

PHOTOS: Look inside Ashlee Simpson's feathery and festive engagement party
(Yahoo!) - Ashlee Simpson is going to the chapel — but first there's the matter of her engagement party.
The 29-year-old celebrated her impending nuptials to Evan Ross over the weekend with a lavish celebration attended by family — like her big sister, Jessica — and friends. And on Wednesday night, she took to Twitter to gush about the bash.
T dressed to the nines for their party. In the photo, the blonde had on headband with large white feathers and a drapey dress with big sleeves as she smooched her future groom, who was wearing a short-sleeve furry coat with a long-sleeve white shirt under it.
Jessica — looking amazing in a white and silver mini-dress, thanks to Weight Watchers — also posted a photo in which she's posing with her sis, who has a 5-year-old son with ex-husband Pete Wentz.
the mom of two, who is also planning a wedding, wrote on Instagram. "I love her so much!"
Evan, who is the son of the legendary Diana Ross (who turned 70 on Wednesday), also shared a couple family snapshots. In addition to a sweet one of him and his mom, the Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 actor posted a second one in which he's planting a kiss on his "Bat for a Heart" singer love while two of his sisters — Chudney Ross and Tracee Ellis Ross, in her lip dress — look on.
The outdoor party space was decorated with shimmering white lights, setting the perfect mood for the fete. And Ash wasn't alone in sporting feathers. The couple's cake had white and tan ones at its base with their initials, A and E, on top, as you can see in this Instagram pic posted by actor and party guest Daniel Booko.
With an engagement party so beautiful, we have great expectations for their wedding day.

Though Juan Pablo Galaivs and Nikki Ferrell of ABC's “The Bachelor 2014” said they wanted their privacy, it looks like they've changed course. Juan Pablo and Nikki are headed for another reality TV show, and this one will likely make their doubters chuckle a bit. Reality Steve shared the scoop on Thursday.
As “The Bachelor 2014” fans will remember, Juan Pablo Galavis and Nikki Ferrell wanted nothing to do with the show or the media blitz typically done after the finale once their season was done airing. Juan Pablo said they wanted to keep their relationship private, though they have shared quite a bit on social media. Lately, however, things have seemingly been a bit more quiet.
Now it seems they are headed back to television, but it's not a wedding special or anything quite so romantic. Reality Steve's spoilers indicate that Juan Pablo and Nikki will be doing the VH1 show “Couples Therapy.” It seems that E! Online has confirmed that Nikki and Juan Pablo are doing the show, even though they weren't included in the VH1 announcement regarding the season 5 “Couples Therapy” cast.

ASSOCIATION OF SERUM CALCIUM LEVEL IN INFANT OF GESTATIONAL DIABETIC AND PRE GESTATIONAL DIABETIC MOTHER
Dr. Aniqa Tasnim*, Dr. M. A. Muttalib, Dr. Ayatun Nesa, Dr. Fahmida Kabir, Dr. Shawana Haque and Dr. Thahamina Shahabuddin
Background: Diabetes has long been associated with maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Abnormal fetal metabolism during pregnancy which is complicated by maternal diabetes mellitus results in multiple neonatal sequelae. Objectives: To investigate the association of serum calcium level in infant of diabetic and pre diabetic mother. Method: To determine neonatal complications of gestational DM and compare them with Pregestational DM. A cross sectional study was performed in the department of Biochemistry and Molecule biology, BIRDEM, from July, 2016 – June 2017. Total 105 infants of diabetic mothers were taken to determine and compare the clinical outcome of infants. Among them 47 were born to Pregestational and 58 were born to gestational diabetes mellitus. Maternal history and birth history was taken. Blood glucose, S. calcium, magnesium, bilirubin level were estimated in all neonate by standard laboratory method. Result: Among 105 infants 62.9% were male and 37.1% were female. Most of the neonates 97.9% IPGDM were delivered by cesarean section. Reduced blood glucose, S. Ca2+ were found 25.5%, 36.2% in IPGDM and 19%, 12.1% in IGDM respectively. Occurrence of hypocalcemia were significantly higher (p=0.015 and p= 0.001 respectively) in infant of mother with PGDM. Conclusion: From this study we can conclude that newborn infants of diabetic mothers present with 15-30% decreased value of calcium in the first 24 hours after birth.
Keywords: Perinatal morbidity, mortality, serum calcium.

Kuoroke brings out a number of genin to see how they’re doing in their training.
"Team Against Team: The Test to Take Down Kuoroke"
Kuoroke has asked some of the village's members, Fujiko, Koemi, Arika, Hiroto and Rikuto, to meet him in the ruins of San Sara Daruta. He's arrived earlier, scouting the area in detail, and as the hour of their meeting approaches, he ensures these people can find him by taking up a position on top of one of the surviving buildings at the edge of the city. He's asked them to arrive at 4PM, which means that even though the sun has already started to set, the sand is still scorchingly hot and the air weighs heavy on anyone out in the desert.
It wouldn't be the four hours past noon that sand rapidly begins to kick up in two distinct plumes. The sound of metal on mostly oiled metal could be heard grinding rapidly though as it nears the ruins, the sound starts to die down. Rikuto moves his hands to a braided rope cord and pulls onto it hard, wrapping it around the mast connected to a odd looking cart that only held room for one, maybe two people at most. "There we are, just need to.. slow down a little more." After securing the cord down near the base of the mast, the young man turns a rutter to the side forcefully and causes the cart to turn at an angle until it complete a curve, killing a lot of his momentum until it comes to a stop.
Koemi walks across the sands to the ruins with her cloak wrapped around her snugly and her head hung low. She had managed to memorize the path well enough from a map at the village, and set out plenty early. She would have to compensate for her walking and the slower pace she had been taking. The burns on her were healing fairly well, but there was still pain to deal with after each draining and airing. She breathes out a quiet breath and pauses to take a long swig from her water skin labelled for drinking. After a sigh of relief, she levels the side of her hand flat against her brow to get a better look in the distance. There she could see the shape of the buildings and the faint outline of Kuoroke in the distance. She frowns in concern to herself and wraps her cloak around herself tighter.
Hiroto knew the desert pretty well, so it wasn't to hard for him to find his way through it. He was moving pretty slowly mostly because he didn't want to wear himself out by running through the desert. Also he didn't want to stumble across anyone that felt the need to attack him without knowing they were there first. Tenshi helped with that by keeping an eye out from above, but once he saw the gathering of the others he flew in quickly causing Hiroto to move a little quicker himself before arriving there. "Hello." Along with the greeting he waved to everyone already gathered here.
Arika got the message and decided to get a small nap in before this mission. So when 2pm rolled around, the girl just made her way out towards the ruins of San Sara Daruta. "Hmmm… I think it said around here…" she says to herself. ~You should know this…~ "I know I should, but…" She huffs a bit, looking around a bit more. Oh, look! There's a Kuroki! The girl disappears with a burst of wind and proceeds to (attempt to) pounce the former councilman. "Kuo-kun!" she says cheerfully as she (tries to) latch onto his back. She peeks over at the others that arrived and waves to both Rikuto and Koemi with a grin. "Ooh! Hiro-kun, too!~" ~And his blasted bird…~ She frowns a second, then says, "Ne, Hiro-kun! D'you know why we're all here? I forget what the note said.." Oops.
Fujiko wasn't the last to enter, for prudence is necessary in a shinobi's life-style. She was not there before, or after 4 p.m., she was there as soon as the sun reached that specific point. She was not alone either. She brought along a member of her still unofficial team at the moment, Zankaru. They were likely endurance training before, given the sheen of sweat that makes the jackal glow under the bright yet setting sun. "You are a prayer, holding me together. As migration sweeps down with it's wings and takes you, I'll wait my turn. When eventually I arrive, will it be lonelier?" She recites as she takes deep breaths, reaching for water upon a flask and swigging the last drops down. "Zankaru, this was the arrival place that I was told. I am sure our time-honored Kuoroke will not mind his cousin attending." She says with a small smile, as she gathers her hair in her hand, attempting to put said hair into a tail to keep it out of her eyes. She then sees if she can spot the others from her perch nearby.
Zankaru was indeed out with Fujiko on the sands before then, pushing her and himself to have more endurance, the training important to make sure that he could keep going when the going got rough. While Fujiko was walking, Zankaru was on those skates, a slow ride that left him without a trail to follow, to make Fujiko look to be alone. He was watching the surroundings, glancing to Fujiko at her comment with a nod. "I believe my cuz tends to enjoy having additional resources. If this is a training exercise then it fits what we were doing anyways."
Kuoroke watches everyone gather from his makeshift podium- and then receives the full weight of a little girl slamming into him like a pneumatically-launched canonball. The Kuroki braces a bit, but allows her to stick to him, for now. "Welcome, everyone. I… see you've brought an extra member of today's exercise. Very well. This will be a team exercise. Zankaru, Fujiko, you'll be team number one. Hiroto, Rikuto and Koemi, you're team two, and Arika will be playing the role of team number three." He pulls out three envelopes, hands on to Arika over his shoulder, and then descends to give two more to Zankaru and Koemi. "Team one will stay here. Team two and three, disperse through the village, read your instructions, and follow them. Team one, after the others have left, read you own instructions and act accordingly." Having handed these out, he waits for Arika to leave his back and then proceeds into the darkness of the building.
Koemi would greet the others with a warm smile as they arrive and wave at Arika in return. She listens to Kuoroke's explanation and frowns thoughtfully to herself. So far it all seemed very peculiar to her. Was there a reason that it was not kept even? She shrugs off the thought and accepts the envelope offered to her. "Yes kuoroke-san." She turns to look between Rikuto and Hiroto to see which way they would like to go, and sees that Rikuto woul like to take the lead. She would follow after him without giving anyone except for Hiroto a second glance to see if he was keeping up. Once they've stopped, she take a moment to absently pull up her sleeves and check over her bandages. "Hm? Oh! Right, of course." She clears her throat and starts to open the letter.
"Team two's assignment is to safely kidnap Kuroki Kuoroke.." Her lips dip down into a small frown at this. "In this, you can consider him a civilian and not a trained shinobi. There is no time limit on this assignment, but events may arise that make it impossible to accomplish." She looks up from the letter and looks between Rikuto and Hiroto to get their thoughts on it. "I…guess the other teams may have been given tasks to make this more difficult…or to compete with us. Well…between you two it should be easy enough to find him…and see competition but…how are we going to…capture him?"
Hiroto was about to reply to Arika about him not knowing much himself. Although right as he went to speak Kuoroke spoke up instead to tell us things himself. Of course it wasn't sure yet except for them being split into teams. He looks at Rikuto and Koemi for a moment before they start moving along, and he would start following as well. The whole time he stays quiet at least during the reading of the letter while he thinks about the whole thing. "The best I can do for capturing is sticking him into a wall." Expecting that to sound like actually stabbing him he quickly adds to that by pulling out one of his forked arrows. "The most it would do is slightly cut him while it sticks into the surface behind him." He then frowns behind his mask as he thinks about trying to make those netted arrows.
The girl eventually gets to a spot that seems devoid of people and unravels her instructions, blinking. "Eh? Huh….." She grumbles and shakes her head, tucking it into her pocket. "Hmm…" is all she says, the girl thinking a few minutes. Then she nods and makes a handseal. The girl would turn into a snake and start to slither back to the area Kuoroke was at. A few pure-black scorpions would skitter before her as look-out.
That's it? "That is all the orders say? Well, if all it says…" She asks as she passes it back to the other Kuroki. "It looks like your cousin is in a bit of 'theoretical' trouble." She would chuckle. If her ears could flick, they most likely would if she heard Koemi tell her own team's part. If Kuoroke is setting team against team, she is sad to inform him that they are absolutely screwed. She knows Rikuto's techniques well enough. Enough that she has plenty to fear from it. She would lean over and whisper in Zankaru's ears. "I hope your genjutsu ability is strong, because in order for us to be remotely successful, we will likely have to learn quickly how to resist it… I assume we're going to be 'protecting' Kuoroke as the other teams work about stealing him from us. I guess he's just going to stand there and let it all happen."
Zankaru went over the orders with Fujiko and frowned slightly. "Seems so. But, it is what it is. We do what we need to." Looking around, he'd frown. "The first thing we have to do.. is find him. He did just walk off without us." Looking to Fujiko, he'd shrug. "Otherwise, we do what we can to defend him. That's the task. We'll get it done. We have each other to help out with genjutsu, afterall." Moving forward, the skates would be removed as he'd look for Kuoroke and start looking for where the others might be coming from to sort out how to stop them.
Inside the building, Kuoroke has constructed a semblance of a normal interior with scavenged objects. He's got a partially-whole desk, a chair with, for some reason, signs of water damage and a kunai driven through one of the legs to keep it in place, a rectangular block of stone covered in some rags for a cot in the corner, and so on and so forth. Kuoroke lies back on the bed, exhales, focusing some chakra and activating some of his tattoos, and awaits his doom, whatever that might be.
COMBAT: Kuoroke focuses 4032 stamina to turn it into 5000 usable chakra!
RP: Kuoroke transforms into TATTOO-FIGHTER.
Placing his hands together after listening to Koemi, Rikuto closes his eyes as a low tone hum vibrates in his throat. Moving two fingers away a few moments later, he motions with two fingers and softly says, "I can feel him, he's stationary in that direction but.. he's planning something." Turning around a little more, the young man shifts a dark brown eye towards Koemi and then to Hiroto and says, "I have a feeling this is a trial of some sort.. likely team building. If he's the target, then we can move directly as long as we get there before the others."
Turning around fully, a light smile crosses his lips as he looks at the young woman. "He's holding back, a civilian you said, right? That means he won't be fighting us for real, even your needles would be a good intimidation method." Turning towards the young Hayato, he would nod twice. "If you can, rig up a bola or just prepare for something else fresh, we'll need to tie him up. I doubt he would permit me to invade his mind for the next hour. As for myself.. If there's a wall in the way, I'll blow it up. I have more tricks than just pleasing music." The hum that had caught his tone once before catches again, projecting his amused and good mood. Wasting little time after the thought, he would wait for others to give objections though otherwise he would begin to lead them tot he source of the chakra he felt.
Koemi looks between Hiroto and Rikuto quietly before chewing on the inside of her cheek. She watches the direction Rikuto gestures off to and nods. At the mention of her needles, she looks down to her purple-tinted waterskin. "I suppose…still, if we are treating him like a true civilian, I would be…very cautious about exposing them to any of the poison at all. Even if it only stayed a mild irritant like it did with you. We will see though…I will not let you two go unhelped, even if it means playing things by ear. If nothing else I can treat him while we are securing him…or after the exercise is over." She breathes in deeply once to steady herself just before she follows after Rikuto as he leads the way.
Hiroto quickly calls Tenshi to come, and sit on his head. Better to stay close for now, and that way they could also be quiet when communicating with their bird calls. They looked on ahead of course they could see good, but not where Kuoroke was from here. Luckily it seemed Rikuto could sense him, and he begins following the others to where the chakra was found. "You think the others will be obstacles? Either trying to kidnap him themselves, or they could just be there to stop us at all from getting him?"
COMBAT: Arika focuses 5852 stamina to turn it into 9000 usable chakra!
Arika-snake gets closer to her target, and the girl makes sure that all her bases are covered. Gotta find that Kuo! Good thing she can travel pretty smoothly as a snake, and can even travel underground! There's an Arika-clone too, wandering about as a sort of distraction for the other teams as well as a scout.
Lying on his cot, Kuoroke patiently waits for others to make their moves. He wonders how this will play out. Arika would probably be the strongest person in the teamup, but neither of the other team, five people in total, would want her to succeed. And so, she may be balanced by potential allies of opportunity.
"Well, shall we try shock and awe or should we try something more sneakily?" Bringing his finger together, Rikuto begins to chuckle faintly but soon the man's chest swells and his fingers begin to twist together to form a set of three seals. Moving his fingers under his bottom lip he soon exhales for times rapidly, with each breath a flame orb escapes them and scatters in the wind. "They will have to think about where they are moving. Even if the assault is very much a lie." Keeping his hands held together, Rikuto begins to pick up his pace to a jog with the others behind them. Which his seal, he claps his hands together, forcing the spheres to lower down and explode violently into the ground and some of the ruined buildings. "Boom."
"Well we shouldn't make it -too- obvious…Though I am not one for stealth, I'm not one for grand entrances…" Koemi tries to tell Rikuto as she follows after him. She watches as the three orbs of flame start to drift away from them and grimaces from the sounds of destruction nearby. "I cannot argue with that…thoughare destroying. Remember, whole lives were once lived in these buildings…so they should be treated with…some respect. Even -if- everything has already been ruined and rifled through." She can't help but reach up and adjust some bandaging around her collar bone as she continues to run behind Rikuto.
Hiroto continues following as well slightly suprised by the explosions. "Yeah, and we don't really want to kill anyone, so we could be a little careful." He does stop talking after that though, and continues to follow their lead even more. He didn't want to bother people with ideas. And he didn't really mind taking orders from the others as much. Just in case he would pull the bow off his back, and put a forked arrow in place.
The explosion in Arika's direction caused the snake-Ari to have to twist and turn, even breaking her hands free of the henge for a moment so she can set a rock down to take other damages. But regardless, the girl would continue on until she reached Kuo. She didn't see him yet… Hmm… Maybe inside that little house? Her ink scouts were telling her such!
Fujiko hadn't moved much, relying on Zankaru's firm decision to scout around the perimeter as she moved within the alleys of the old. The jackal tried to stay out of sight, until the buildings that flanked her while she was in the alley caused her to make sudden maneuvers. Before the building had collapsed upon her, she had rolled out into the open. She's still not so confident about being alone, and her hands strays to a rather special scrolls covered by the cloth that hides her array of them. She hadn't a real clue where Kuoroke was, so she does have to rely on very basic senses. <* You should go for it. Screw the rules!
"Respect? To buildings?" Blinking several times leaves the young man paused and standing still for a moment before shrugging his shoulders. "Fine fine.. Minimal damage until we get to the building. Once we get to the building, then we'll do another sweep.. if we get a funny feeling of being watched, we'll bypass it and go directly into the building, not through the entrance." Lowering his head, Rikuto once again begins to focus and bring his fingers to twist into the sign of the dragon and lifts his chin. Separating his hands, he uses them one at a time, pointing out the other targets. "Fujiko-san is close to Kuoroke-san, she feels odd, likely preparing something.. Over there, there's.. two Arichan-s. She's using one of her clones, it feels odd, so does she.. both of them are planning things.. We have to hurry, I think this is a race to capture him!" With that, the young man begins to race forward, not bothering to look around much at all. "If you see someone else, take the shot. I don't care if it's a good one, make them wary."
"Well yes…what you destroy could be where a person lived their whole life. Babies could have been born there, someone could have gotten married there…there is a lot of history that could be saved in ruins." Koemi lectures Rikuto at the sound of his confusion. She can't help but grin a little as she unintentionally picks on the young man, but her mind is focused once more as he starts to list off the targets. She frowns an looks in the directions he points. She didn't have the luxury of seeing through walls, so much of the explanation is lost on her. "I kind of recognized where we came from, from here…I will try to close in on where we started quietly. Please catch up as you two are able. I'll try to make some sort of signal if I get in trouble." She then starts to run away from Rikuto and Hiroto both to head back to the building they started from.
She ducks down low in the shadow of a neighboring structure and watches Fujiko from afar. She could try to confront the woman and catch her off guard, or she could try to circle around, find a gap, and evade her line of sight entirely. She preferred the second one because it essentially eliminated the need for unnecessary conflict, and even if she was spotted she could try to initiate a confrontation anyway. Koemi attempts to give Fujiko and the building she guards a wide birth in an attempt to find a back window or crack into the building.
Hiroto follows along as Rikuto gets lectured. He doesn't pay to much attention before she talks of splitting off. He doesn't feel he has a reason to disagree, so he just watches her leave before continuin on their path. Eventually he came to a point where Tenshi noticed everyone within sight. So quickly and quietly Hiroto would move along trying to stay hidden until they know they have to fight. Might as well stay in an advantageous position.
COMBAT: Rikuto failed to interrupt attack number 3: WIND-SLICE from Arika against Kuoroke with a roll of 25 vs 50.
Arika drops the henge after slithering through the window. I mean, sure that she could see various people as they drew close… that's why she had to strike now! The girl already has chakra gathered in her fingertips, so she throws an invisible blade of pure wind at Kuo, keeping it to a non-vital area because, while normally she would aim for something a bit more delicate, she didn't really want to kill the councilman!
COMBAT: Hiro40 vs 50.
Fujiko at the very least sees Koemi and Hiroto as they approach the building. She would make them aware she was right there. She raises a finger and waggles it slowly before placing a handseal together. "I'm not even going to try and stop Rikuto, but you two? You're both terrible at sneaking." She says as she drops down to one knee and places her hands upon the ground.
COMBAT: Fujiko focuses 1326 stamina to turn it into 1500 usable chakra!
COMBAT: Kuoroke takes 898 partial damage.
Kuoroke, from his cot, observes the area through the window. It may restrict his field of vision, but he's experienced enough to extrapolate movements and predict patterns. And then, Arika appears. He expected her to appear, but he somehow expected more of the others to already be here at the point of her attack. They make a valiant dash, but Arika's gust of wind strikes him in the chest, drawing blood. Kuoroke winces and nods to her. However, the others appear to not yet be done and, giving Arika a quick motion to wait, the Kuroki observes how teams one and two interact.
'Tsk' as he suddenly feels a shift. Looking off and up to the side slightly, Rikuto watches as Arika shifts states and starts to weave a blade of air. Bringing his hands too slowly he is left just waiting for the attack strike to hit its mark. Raising a hand, Rikuto motions for the pair behind him to pause and he falls to his knees. "Both of you.. this song will not hurt you, nor will it slow you.. you both need to find anyone you can.. bind them, bind their fingers in odd ways if you can't bind them fully." As he speaks, he pulls a scroll from his satchel and unrolls it across his lap.
All three targets specialize in ninjutsu.. if they cannot form seals, their capability dwindles into near nothingness." Closing his eyes, he presses his hands along the scroll before lifting upwards. "Release!" At the command, the ink on the scroll explodes into a puff of white smoke and a long board appears across Rikuto's lap. Not waiting for long, his fingers curl like claws, his nails already sharp and filed to a point, allowing him to rake across the tense cords. "Hurry.. This should only hold them for a short time.." Focusing onto a single pluck, the young man soon continues the sound into a rapidly forming melancholy tune. Those trapped within the illusion would begin to continue watching the scene unfold even though it had yet to..
Each time Fujiko would move to protect Kuoroke, the strikes would graze her skin, leaving her bloody and tattered yet it would cost her ward his life accidentally.
Each time Arika would make a move to bring the tall man to his knees, Koemi would manage to defend him with a whip of water as Hiroto fires arrow after arrow, each one making its mark deep within her chest.
The perfect plan would come to naught. Each time Kuoroke would move to break up the chaotic fight, he would grasp one member, and accidentally their wounds would become worse, an arrow striking not an arm, but a lung. A air sickle not cutting a chest but blinding a medic, a ball of flame not only singes but destroys the very walls, causing the building to fall in upon them..
Within every vision.. there was no right way, only hopelessness stretched out minute after minute, for what seems an hour..
RP: Rikuto transforms into PENTA-CORD-MELODY.
COMBAT: Koemi loses the roll and sustains 237 damage.
Koemi would pause just long enough to listen to Rikuto in passing. She seems confused, but she would have continued on her way anyway. 'Ok so there is a sign that I am waiting for…just need to focus and wait for it'. Returning to when she was attempting to sneak around Fujiko, she tries to jump up and cut the impending column out from beneath her with some fast spinning ribbons of water that come out from her skin. Unfortunately, the water is unable to build up a fast enough current to come anywhere close to cutting out the stone and she ends up getting hit and knocked back from it. She rubs at her stomach and tries to chuckle quietly. Afterall, this was only a training exercise. "That may be true, but the same goes for you Fujiko. I saw you quite easily myself." She stands up onto her feet and looks around her. She had to wait on Rikuto's plan perhaps…at least from here she could stay and help deal with Fujiko when the time arose.
Hiroto heard what Rikuto had said, but he didn't have a very easy way to bind fingers. Either way he would be thinking about that as a bunch of land rises out from underneath him. Luckily he reacts in a way to avoid the earth pretty easily before he runs over to in between Arika and Kuoroke. He raises an arrow, but doesn't fire yet. He has it ready to hopefully hit Arika attaching her to the wall, and just in case fighting happens he has blunt arrows ready.
Kuoroke watches the combat continue, before standing up and calling out, "A trained shinobi had the opportunity to attack me. Under any realistic circumstances, I would be dead, meaning that team three is the one which is successful. Congratulations, Arika. We will debrief and discuss your respective strategies later. For now, everyone get in here. We'll take a brief break and head back home. Consider carefully how you would report on what transpired were it an actual situation."
Kuoroke has called some of the members of yesterday's exercise to the Dome for debriefing, deciding to handle them in smaller groups. He has reserved a meeting room, and set it up with little cards that allocate place for the three different teams. He stands near the circular table, waiting for his students to arrive.
With a slightly bowed head, Rikuto would enter the room, his left hand buried in his hair as he scratches at the back of his head. Lowering his hand after entering, it disappears in his cloak as he starts to look around the room until his eyes settle onto Kuoroke. "You called for me sir?" is asked, though he would be the only member of 'team 2' to arrive for the time being.
Arika is here! The girl skitters into the meeting room with some lunch in her hands that she's just finishing up. "Hi, Kuo-kun! Hi, Rikkun!" she says cheerfully before biting into the final morsel of food. Munch munch.
The first member of the first team, Fujiko, would enter though not completely. Rather, she would lean against the doorframe and wait for the member whom was a part of that activity. Zankaru, having scouted the perimeter as she attempted to lock down the house Kuoroke was in. "Jurojin, Fujiko. Present."
Zankaru would walk in shortly after Fujiko leaned at the door, passing her carefully for him to glance at the others, then Kuoroke. Shaking his head slightly, he'd walk over to where the card for team 1 was at, pulling out a chair to offer to Fujiko if she wanted it, before taking his own seat.
Kuoroke nods and waits for everyone to be seated. "Welcome, everyone. I wanted to discuss yesterday's event in a bit more detail. So, first of all, I'd like everyone here to describe how they would report on the exercise if it were a real missions where the mark had, indeed, been assassinated by a competing team?" With this, he motions towards team Arika.
Fujiko hadn't even know Arika was aft to killing Kuoroke. That, and she turned into a snake. "Agreed, the same as Rikuto had said. The enemy's forces were too superior, causing success to be minimal." She sort of spat the last word out.
Arika umms and tilts her head a bit. "I won? I dunno… I thought it was good. Fer me." She grins, glancing over to Rikuto. "Rikkun could've stopped me. But he didn't. I didn't meet with any resistance at all."
Zankaru would listen to the others, before giving a small shrug. "We tried to secure the perimeter. I was seeking contact with the hostiles when it occurred. It's unfortuante I was not able to find them, it is a personal failure that I will have to deal with." He'd glance between Arika and Rikuto. "Most likely we should have tried to work together then and dealt with each other after stopping Arika."
Kuoroke stands at the head of the table and looks from one of them to the other. "Alright. Now let's look at what you -didn't- tell me. All of you referred to opposing parties, except Arika, she didn't do as much. One of you mentioned, offhand, the name of one of these parties. It's useful to know that you failed, or, respectively, succeeded, but that's not even the main reason why you submit the report. Now, I know what Arika and Fujiko and the others look like, and it's probably we have their identities on file, so their names would've been quite sufficient in this context, but a physical description is also, usually, an improvement to a good report." He instructs them. "Next, a word on timestamps. Knowing how late it was, at least approximately, helps as well. It helps us map the movements of those you encounter, from which we can infer the urgency of this assignment for them, their general speed -and from this, have one estimate for their capability in general-, and their likely whereabouts in the near future."
"A believe another suitable thing to add to the reports is the amount of collateral damage caused by allies and enemies." Fujiko merely says. Though, taking count of what the village is responsible to pay for might not be the easiest thing to put on a report… Fujiko reaches a hand up to her neck and scratches it. "I didn't think I needed to know these things, but… I see the logic."
Zankaru would muse before giving a small nod. "Maybe amount of forces contacted and interacted with. I feel what you stated should cover most situations. Potentially confirm skills used to be able to properly handle and counter in future interactions?"
Kuoroke nods at Zankaru. "Very good idea!" He nods. "I was hoping for that one. Skills used by the opposition is a valuable detail. Any observed interaction between other people, also, may be useful. For instance, as given, your reports mostly did not reveal to me that there were, in fact, three teams. If team two had mentioned Fujiko's words, that would've become far more apparent. Had, for example, Arika been bearing the Kumogakure forehead protector and team one been dressed in Kirigakuran uniforms, we may have mistakenly concluded from team 2's account that Kirigakure and Kumogakure were cooperating on this - an interesting evolution."
The Jounin direct his attention to Rikuto. "It -is- useful. Especially since you knew, a priori, that there -were- two other groups with an interesting your mark, although you didn't know what manner of interest. A direct approach did not involve trying to assess these other parties' interest in the event."
Furling his brow, Rikuto looks back towards Kuoroke questioningly. "You already knew there were two other groups at the least.. you assigned it that way. I didn't think a mission briefing should be in the debriefing.. I'll make sure that any records before the mission are written on at the beginning of the debriefing report then." Shifting back and into the chair, it the young man's jaw tenses and doesn't relax, simply staying closed to silence himself.
Fujiko would close her eyes and sigh. "In the event that we as shinobi distrupt civilian prosperity, we have a duty to recompense them. The desert is a hard enough place to live in, destroying someone's livelihood as a result of our activity should be properly compensated. As long as they are a loyal citizen of Sunagakure. We are not conquerors of our own people, we are military designed to protect the interests of the Daimyo. The livelihood of his people is of prime concern to the Daimyo, for they are the ones that pay taxes." She would nod her head. "That is my non-tactical reasoning. You have covered the tactical reasoning already."
Zankaru would listen to the others quietly, trying to wrap his head around the information going on between them. "That's a good point.." Glancing to Fujiko, he smiled slightly. "Also valid. We are here for them, not to lord over them, but to be their defense against what the world may bring. Definitely something to keep in mind, whenever possible, and dealing with other forces, I feel."
"Very good. A fair point, which is why I specifically selected an area with no valuable civilian structures." Kuoroke responds. "Keep in mind for the future: not the mission's success is vital. The who, the when, the why, and the how are equally important when you report on these. Thank you all for coming. I may have a followup to see if you improve. All dismissed."

The West Virginia ruling will undermine U.S. government regulatory action to do this.
Effective voluntary programs have clearly defined objectives, indicators, monitoring programs and graduated sanctions.
1. First, define “why?” Grandchildren are more effective than Excel spreadsheets. I have added this principle to Ostrom’s list. Years ago, my firm was asked to develop a multiple-use sustainable development framework for an ecologically important region in Peru. We arrived with our Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoints. It was clear immediately that the stakeholders were having none of it; they wanted to express their grievances toward each other.
We changed the subject, asking, “What are your memories of growing up in this region?” It turned out that all of them missed the condors that used to fly over the region. Passing on the natural beauty of the region became the true north that united them all. The process was not easy sailing after that — they still had conflicting interests — but they had a common purpose that united them. For many of us, the true north that unites us2. Start small and keep it simple. Define group boundaries to address a clear common problem learn from experience. We may want to solve all the world’s problems at once, but it is more effective to start with small steps. A key lesson from entrepreneurs (and we are all entrepreneurs as we engage new approaches to sustainability) is the value of starting with a “minimum viable product,” an initial product that we use to test a concept under real-world conditions. If, as I suggest below, we set up a polycentric network of multiple initiatives sharing a common purpose and framework, we can establish experiments in a “learning organization” where successes and (importantly) failures are shared.
3. Match the rules to local needs and conditionsdefining and modifying the rules. We all need agency in defining our own destinies. It is human nature to abide better by rules we helped develop than by rules that were imposed on us. Social entrepreneurs point to the value of “co-creation.” In my own work, developing procedures for companiesvoluntary programs, I have often noted that those affected by the rules have a much clearer understanding than outsiders of what works and does not work, and that they buy in best to rules they participated in developing.
4. Use nested tiers,e have a fixation with “reaching scale.” This is understandable in a technological economy where the cost of serving the 2 billionth customer is less than the cost of serving the 1 billionth customer. But the sense of ownership and personal involvement that comes of working in a smaller unit is lost in 1 billion- or 2 billion-participant organizations.
Organizational psychologists tell us that the number of possible one-to-one interactions in a groupbove 20 participants, the number of possible interactions becomes unmanageable. Ostrom’s polycentric approach develops an overarching framework that is implemented through multiple small-scale initiatives.
5For a decentralized “nested tiers” approach to work, higher-level tiers must respect the rulemaking and enforcement authority of lower tiers. Conversely, lower-level tiers must commit to working within the overarching framework established (with their participation) by higher-level tiers.
6.. Use graduated sanctions for rule violators and pFor several years, I worked actively with companies implementing ISO 14001 systems. Eventually, I quit in part because the audit mechanism under ISO was inadequate and because sanctions were seldom applied. In too many (but not all) cases, free riders benefited from the credibility ISO provided, but skirted the actions it required.
The academic literature on voluntary programs confirms this perception: Without these mechanisms, they become at best exhortations to do better; at worst, they create an impression, sadly often correct, of greenwashing.
Whatever happens in the aftermath of the West Virginia decision, and I may be too pessimistic, well-designed voluntary environmental programs are a “no-regrets strategy.” If I am too pessimistic, they can be a useful complement to regulatory programs that are more flexible, more targeted, and in some cases more effective than regulatory programs. If I am proven correct, voluntary programs provide us a means to meet sustainability goals even as regulatory programs are eviscerated.

Thalassemia major (TM) patients require regular blood transfusions which may lead to iron overload. Excess iron is accumulated in the liver, heart and endocrine organs. Intracellular free iron can cause tissue damage, leads to arrhythmias, heart failure accounting for 71% of deaths in TM patients [1, 2, 3, 4].
Parameters for cardiac T2* imaging
1.5–18.5 with 2.4 ms increments
99–125 ms
810 Hz/pixel
Parameters for liver T2* imaging
#Slices/#slices per BH
FOV

Patient data were removed automatically from the DICOM meta-data by Image Inbox prior to image transfer. All MR images were sent to an advanced workstation (Philips MR extended workspace, software version 2009). The data sets were typed to liver and heart spreadsheets. The T2*, R2*, LIC, and MIC were automatically calculated from the datasets [9, 10, 11, 12, 13] included in the analyses. Heart and liver plot charts were generated and final results were represented in colored manner based on the severity of iron burden; while green refers to normal values, mild affection is presented in yellow, moderate in orange, and severe in red color. All images were checked and analyzed by two radiologists (who were blinded regarding the laboratory, clinical situation of the patient and echocardiography results) as follows:
Correlation between serum ferritin, hepatic, and cardiac investigations of the studied group
NS not significant; S significant
$Spearman correlation
Both Hepatic T2* & LIC have p values <0.05 so both are statistically significant
Association between LIC and hepatic T2* in the studied group
Normal LIC

Association between MIC and cardiac T2* in the studied group
Abnormal MIC
Correlation between hepatic and cardiac investigations of the studied group
Iron deposition in the heart follows a characteristic pattern; it is greater in the epicardium and more in the ventricles than the atria [3, 5, 9, 10, 16, 17]. Cardiac dysfunction depends on the quantity of the deposited iron and the extent of fibers involvement. Despite the reversible nature of siderotic cardiomyopathy, the heart is still considered the target lethal organ as 71% of deaths in TM patients are caused by cardiac complications such as iron-induced acute myocarditis and acute heart failure [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19].
T2* is a simple, non-invasive and rapid technique that is gained in a single breath-hold [1, 8, 9, 11, 14]. Owing to the late development of the clinical findings and echocardiographic abnormalities, MR-T2* has become the strongest biomarker for simultaneous evaluation of liver and heart iron burden [1, 19] plus prediction of iron-induced cardiac complications such as heart failure and arrhythmia in TM patients [18, 19, 20].
Measuring serum ferritin level remains the primary screening test and is still used in monitoring the efficacy of chelation therapy. It has been reported that serum ferritin level greater than 2500 ng/ml is considered an important risk factor for developing iron-induced complications such as liver cirrhosis, heart failure, arrhythmias, impaired growth, and delayed puberty [22, 23, 24, 25].
Wood et al. 2005 [8] and Papakonstantinou et al. 2009 [9] reported that MR-R2* mapping could accurately estimate LIC in transfusion-dependent TM patients. Previous studies found that the frequency of MR-T2* relies on the iron concentration and chelation therapy used [11, 12, 13, 18]. In this study, a high statistical significance was found regarding the association between LIC and liver T2* (p = 0.000) (Table 5) and between MIC and cardiac T2* (p = 0.000) (Table 6).
Previous literatures reported that cardiac T2* of 52 ± 16 ms is the reference range and 20 ms is the minimum value for normal myocardium T2* [13]. Cardiac siderosis cannot be predicted from the hepatic iron load because liver iron normalizing within 3–6 months which is much faster than the heart [12, 13, 14, 18].

On Tuesday Whole Foods Market Lamar location opened their new full service sushi bar. Members of the Austin Food Blogger Alliance were introduced to the new venue and treated to a complimentary sampling of some of what the KIKKA team is serving at the new location which is now by the seafood department. The interactive sushi bar provides a bird\’s eye view of the KIKKA team at work creating their tasty appetizers and made to order sushi.
The first menu items we tried were the fresh edamame, crispy vegetable rolls and delicious chewy sesame balls. We also tasted the squid salad which most of us, including me, could not seem to get enough of!
Essentially all the rolls on the menu are signature rolls. They were created by, taste tested and voted on by KIKKA\’s own team members. The rolls pictured below are the Cherry Blossom Crunch Roll (top left), Baja Roll (bottom) and the Fiery Hawaiian Roll with salmon (top right).
I found the fish and the other ingredients fresh, the flavors complimentary of each other and the rolls creative without going overboard.
The sushi bar is conveniently located near Bar Lamar making it easy to grab a sparkling glass of wine or Texas brew to pair with KIKKA\’s creations.

There are several basic types of home insurance that offer different levels of coverage. Each type of home insurance policy provides coverage for certain perils. A peril is the particular event that causes the damage or destruction of the home. Some types of home insurance policies will name the perils specifically, and others will exclude them. What you need out of home insurance depends on your home and what you want to cover. Read below to understand what is included across different types of home insurance coverage.
This insurance only covers damage to the dwelling as a result of 10 listed perils, and does not include homeowners personal liability insurance. Therefore, if you're sued by someone who slips on your property, your insurance company won't defend you in court or pay the plaintiff if you are found to be at fault. If you have a mortgage, you would not buy this type of insurance as it would not provide you adequate protection to insure your home. The ten perils the Home Insurance Policy will protect your home and belongings from are:
6.Vehicles (unless caused by the insured)
9.Theft (limit of liability on HO-1 is usually $1,000)
This policy is sometimes called the broad coverage policy. This is similar to the Special Form Policy listed below because it covers the dwelling (house) and other structures (detached garage, fence), but it insures against only specifically named perils. The policy includes more perils than basic coveraqe and offers homeowners personal liability coverage. The sixteen perils that your home and belongings are protected from with the Broad Coverage Policy are:
2.Wind storm or Hail
4.Riot or Civil Commotion
8.Vandalism or Malicious Mischief
12.Weight of Ice, Snow, or Sleet
13.Accidental Discharge or Overflow of Water or Stream
14.Sudden & Accidental Tearing Apart, Cracking, Burning, or Bulging
16.Sudden & Accidental Damage from Artificially Generated Electrical Current
This policy insures your home and detached structures against loss or damage from any peril except for those specifically excluded in the policy. This is the policy most homeowners purchase. It is important for you to read your policy carefully to see what is excludedâ€"you may want to cover exclusions with special home insurance riders. The contents of your home are only covered against listed perils, so be sure to read that list in your policy. This policy also includes liability coverage. If the damage to your home is not caused by something on an exclusion list, then you have coverage.
This is the only insurance policy designed for renters. It is however, part of the homeowner's policy group. It is known as the tenant homeowner's policy as well as the Contents Broad Form policy, and it covers only the contents of the home and personal liability for the insured tenant. The policy also covers additional living expenses if a renter is displaced due to a covered loss, medical payments to others, as well as the liability protection.
Dwelling & Contents - HO 5
This coverage is one of the best home insurance policies available in the United States. It provides excellent coverage for the dwelling itself and for the contents of your home. It is an open perils policy, which means it only lists the perils the policy does not cover. If your home and/or personal property are damaged by something that is not on the exclusion list, then you have insurance coverage. This policy provides the most extensive coverage that is offered. It is one of the most elite home insurance policies available to homeowners.
This insurance covers a condominium owner who wishes to insure items not insured by the association policy, as well as the personal property inside the unit. This condo insurance focuses on contents and is similar to Renters insurance because the policy holder does not own the structure the unit is in. This policy includes liability insurance as well, which means you'll be covered if someone is injured in your unit and wants to sue. It also is a name peril policy and it covers against sixteen named perils. This protection covers both your dwelling and your personal property.
Legacy Insurance Agency - Home Insurance
Homeowners Insurance can help you protect many different aspects of your home such as the physical structure of your home, the belongings inside your home and the cost of medical expenses for a person injured on your property. Most policies include some standard policy coverage, but you can also select from many optional types of coverage to help protect the things that are important to you. Please call us for help understanding what different types of homeowners’ insurance coverage are available to help you protect.
Taking the time to understand what types homeowners insurance coverage are included in your policy can help you understand what it protects. Most home insurance policies include standard coverage, like:
· Dwelling (home structure)
Liability insurance can help protect you if someone makes a claim against you or sues you for damages after being injured on your property. · Guest medical protection
Standard homeowners’ policies include additional protection. One example of this is reimbursed living expenses coverage, which can help cover increased living costs like hotel stays in the event your home is uninhabitable after a covered loss.
If you live in a rented apartment, condominium or home, you need to protect yourself and your space from the unexpected. Because your landlord’s insurance policy doesn’t cover your belongings, renters insurance is a smart choice for safeguarding yourself in the event of theft, sewer backup damage, hurricanes and more. With renters insurance, you can customize a policy that suits your lifestyle and budget.
If you own a condominium, you may be wondering if you need coverage. Condominium insurance provides protection for the parts of your condo that you are responsible for and your belongings. In the event of theft, natural disasters and other types of covered damage, our insurance carriers will be there.

João, o Reitor (; 922-947) foi um oficial bizantino, que serviu como ministro chefe imperial (paradinástevo) no início do reinado do imperador . Enfrentando acusações, ele deixou seu ofício e retirou-se para um mosteiro, mas permaneceu um confidente do imperador, por quem ele realizou uma delicada missão diplomática à Bulgária em 929. Ele é provavelmente um dos conspiradores que em 947 pretendia depor e restaurar o filho de Romano, Estêvão Lecapeno, ao trono.
João é mencionado pela primeira vez em 922, no rescaldo da conspiração fracassada contra o imperador e seu colega júnior . Naquele tempo, ele era um presbítero, mantinha o título de reitor, e era um conselheiro chefe (paradinástevo) de Romano. No rescaldo da revelação da conspiração pelo servo de um dos conspiradores, ele levou o servo para a residência imperial. Além disso, ele conseguiu com sucesso a promoção de Constantino Lorícato, o protocárabo (capitão do drómon imperial) e leal partidário de Romano, ao posto de protoespatário da vasilha, que teria sido mantido até então por um dos homens envolvidos na conspiração.
Na primavera de 922, ele foi enviado, junto com o almirante Aleixo Mosele, o doméstico das escolas Potos Argiro e seu irmão Leão Argiro, para confrontar uma invasão búlgara sob Caucano e Menico. Na resultante batalha de Pegas, próximo a Constantinopla, João fugiu do campo de batalha quase imediatamente e procurou refúgio abordo de uma nau próxima, enquanto a batalha resultou em uma fuga dtanto mortos como cativos. Logo depois, acusações inespecíficas foram trazidas contra ele diante de Romano. Fingindo estar doente, ele deixou o palácio imperial e retirou-se para um mosteiro por ele fundado, próximo a Galacrenas. Ele foi sucedido como paradinástevo por Nicolau.

Q: Run Scrapy on iOS/Pythonista? Is it possible to run scrapy on iOS with something like Pythonista?
My script works on my pc but I would like to start it from my iPhone.
A: I'm not familiar with scrapy, but if the library is "pure python" then you should be able to install it and use it with Pythonista. Pure python apparently means that the library cannot require any c-libraries.
You'd need some method of invoking pip to install the library, something like StaSH would work. From there you can use pip to install the scrapy library.
No guarantees, but aside from the "pure python" bit, there's no reason it shouldn't work.

When choosing a stain for your home, quality definitely makes a big difference. All stains are not made alike. The right stain will make your logs look good AND allow them to breathe while still offering the best possible protection against aging and the elements.
At Prolog Construction & Restoration we offer non-toxic, environmentally safe options for staining and sealing so that you don’t have to worry about exposure for your family, while still enjoying the peace of mind from knowing your log home enjoys the best of both worlds, looking great while also being protected from the elements.
The main reason people choose to use stain is aesthetic, but there is a hidden benefit as well. It gives the wood long-lasting, beautiful color while protecting it from UV damage that causes wood to turn gray as well as damage that can occur from water, insects, mildew and mold.

If I had to pick one word to sum up this past Saturday’s Royal Crescent Mob concert, that word would be “joyous.”
Carlton’s smile can light up an entire venue. (Photo credit: Jon Calderas. Full gallery here.)
If I got to use two word to describe it, I’d use “joyous” and “sweaty.”
Time takes its toll on all of us. If we’re lucky, we manage to avoid cancer. In that department, the RC Mob has been decidedly unlucky. Lead singer David Ellison is being treated for prostate cancer. Lead guitarist Brian “B” Emch lost his wife to pancreatic cancer earlier this year. Drummer Carlton Smith has a rare form of brain cancer.
Rather than wallow in pity, the band decided to take their heaping helping of lemons and make lemonade… and sell it to raise funds for cancer research.
It was a different kind of joyous this time around. For a couple of nights, for a couple of hours, they could focus on the music instead of mortality. So could their fans.
The Royal Crescent Mob brought a ton of joy to thousands of people 30 years ago. It was so good to experience that joy once again. It makes life worth living.

Seven Questions In Heaven With Tonight Alive's Jenna McDougall
LINK | Posted by Chris on Monday, February 13, 2012
Tonight Alive's What Are You So Scared Of? is twelve tracks of catchy pop-punk that will be released on Valentine's Day. We caught up with Tonight Alive's lead singer, Jenna McDougall, for Seven Questions In Heaven on the eve of the album's release.
Personally I'm a sucker for (but not necessarily influenced by) Thrice, Rufio, Missy Higgins, The Script, Led Zeppelin, The Starting Line, Senses Fail, Brand New, Frou Frou, Death Cab For Cutie, Jimmy Eat World, and Rage Against The Machine.
You probably get asked this a lot, but what's it like being the only female in the band? What are the plusses and drawbacks?
Our producer Mark Trombino recorded Blink's early record Dude Ranch in '97 and had stayed in touch with Mark Hoppus since. We were looking for a guest vocalist and couldn't settle ourselves so he went ahead and contacted Hoppus and put it to us once he had agreed to record the track! It was a total no-brainer for us but it was definitely not something we would have ever suggested ourselves. We went to Blink's studio in LA and sat in on the recording; Mark was an awesome guy, his personality was as big as his voice and we were totally in awe of him.

This is something that actually happened today.
A shower sounds particularly special today because our basement now boasts a small mudpit. There is a kind older gentleman who has been sledge-hammering through our concrete floor in search of a broken pipe.
And this means...no showering at our house. Thankfully, the next-door neighbors are out of town and are gracious enough to allow us use of their bathroom.
I rush in through my front door, up the wooden steps and grab some clean clothes and bathroom supplies. Everything is trying to tumble out of my arms, but no matter. I'm about to have a shower. Without using my hands, I step into my giant snow boots and awkwardly carry everything to the sweetheart neighbor house. I could have put all this stuff in a bag.
Toss the clothes and keys onto a bed in a nearby spare room and head into the bathroom. As I set the shampoo and conditioner down on the showerside table, I realize I have forgotten a towel. Gr. Keys. Stairs. Door. Back into my house.
.No one in their right mind would keep banging around in the basement if they wanted my stuff or my body; they would be up here with me, by now.
So, I walk down to the basement and greet Jim, the kindly sewer-smart gentleman. He has gentle eyes and rough, dirty hands and a capable mind. He stands in the mud in his work boots and we get to talking. Somehow, we manage to discuss his daughters, the twins due in April, how far ultrasound technology has come along, skiing in Colorado, gentrification in East Liberty, and the wonder of Western Pennsylvania. He grew up here, you know. He has seen all the changes for years. His mom is in her 90s, and she still gets around the kitchen.
Even though I know better, I wonder if that wive's tale is true about catching cold.

Original land survey records show that "Big Woods" originally covered this part of the state. Hardwoods, mainlydominated these forests.The land around your lake, the riparian zone, also consisted of these large trees which shaded the shoreline and provided a steady supply of organic matter in the form of leaves,branches and logs to the near shore area.Aquatic organisms in the lakes and streams of this area evolved during a time when large trees must have often fallen into the water.
When human development came to the shoreline, trees were removed, and logs were often pulled out of the lake. It was once common practice to remove logs from trout streams too. Now scientists and resource managers have come to realize the importance of coarse woody debris in aquatic ecosystems (and forested ecosystems as well).
Trees that fall into the water create important fish habitat. Small fish feed on the invertebrates (insects and zooplankton) in the wood and use the cover to hide from predators. Musky, and other large predatory fish, often stalk these logs looking for prey.
A studyfish habitat in 16 northern Wisconsin lakes. Their study showed that as homes become denser the number of fallen trees decreases. Research on the importance of CWD has really just begun. We'll most likely be hearing more in the near future. This trend cannot be totally reversed but shoreland property owners can help. Fisheries management often involves the addition of "structure", cribs etc. You could accomplish similar goals by not removing that branch or log that falls into the lake.
Out in the deeper, or limnetic part of the lake the plankton take over. Plankton is a term used to describe those organisms that float freely in the open waters of the lake. Included in this group are the zooplankton (animals) and phytoplankton (algae). Fish, of course, also roam around out here. In a more productive lake the area fish have to roam around gets smaller and smaller as summer progresses. Oxygen in the deeper waters becomes scarcer as dead algae and other detritus rains down into the hypolimnion. Most fish won't be able to survive in dissolved oxygen concentrations less than 5 mg/L. Here's where the RUSS data can help you determine where the fish may or may not be.

“I look at jewelry design as I would look at designing a building,” she says. “Architecture and jewelry actually share similar principles, which is function and design or aesthetics.”
For Jaime, functionality expresses itself through versatility, which is a quality she aims to imbue into [in]trigue pieces. “I want to create jewelry that can bring you from day to night, office to out of office, weekdays to weekends,” she says. “I generally opt for geometric forms, but soften it with thoughtful details like the placement of pearls, or the curve of the ring shanks, for example.”
Jaime is also mindful about how each component of [in]trigue jewelry pieces matches the concept of a collection. For instance, the Pharaoh Collection “.” Throughout the collection, in pieces like the Pharoah Multi Ring or Necklace, Jaime intentionally sourced stones that were prominent during ancient Egyptian times, such as Lapiz Lazuli, Turquoise, and Carnelian. The bold silhouettes and bright colors of these pieces also speak to what the collection aims to embody, which is that “we, as women, should not underestimate our power.”

we run the sklearn logistic regression with the same data sets and compare the performance of the two. If they
are close enough within a certain tolerance, we declare the H2O model working. When regularization and other
parameters are enabled, we can evaluate H2O GLM model performance by comparing the logloss/accuracy
from H2O model and to the H2O model generated without regularization. As long as they do not deviate
too much, we consider the H2O model performance satisfactory.
In particular, I have written 7 tests in the hope to exercise
as many parameters settings of the GLM algo with Multinomial distribution as possible. Tomas
has requested 2 tests to be added to test his new feature of missing_values_handling with
predictors containing both categorical/real columns. Here is a list of all tests:
test1_glm_no_regularization(): sklearn logistic regression model is built.
H2O GLM is built for Multinomial family with the same random data sets. We observe
the weights, confusion matrices from the two models. We compare the logloss, prediction
accuracy from the two models to determine if H2O GLM model shall pass the test.
test2_glm_lambda_search(): test lambda search with alpha set to 0.5 per Tomas's
suggestion. Make sure loglss and prediction accuracy generated here is comparable in
value to H2O GLM model with no regularization.
test3_glm_grid_search_over_params(): test grid search over
various alpha values while lambda is set to be the best value obtained
from test 2. Cross validation with k=5 and random assignment is enabled
as well. The best model performance hopefully will generate logloss and
prediction accuracies close to H2O model with no regularization in test 1.
test5_missing_values(): Test parameter missing_values_handling="MeanImputation" with
only real value predictors. The same data sets as before is used. However, we
go into the predictor matrix and randomly decide to replace a value with
nan and create missing values. Sklearn logistic regression model is built using the
data set where we have imputed the missing values. This Sklearn model will be used to
compare our H2O models with.
test6_enummixed predictors (categorical/real value columns). We first generate a data set that
contains a random number of columns of categorical and real value columns. Next, we
encode the categorical columns. Then, we generate the random data set using the formula
as before. Next, we go into the predictor matrix and randomly
decide to change a value to be nan and create missing values. Again, we build a Sklearn
logistic regression and compare our H2O model with it.
test7_missing_enum_values_lambda_search(): Test parameter
missing_values_handling="MeanImputation" with
and setting lambda search to be True. We use the same predictors from test6. Next, we encode
the categorical columns using true one hot encoding since Lambda-search will be enabled with
alpha set to 0.5. Since the encoding is different in this case from test6, we will build a brand
new Sklearn logistic regression model and compare the best H2O model logloss/prediction accuracy with it.

Hi, I''m trying to tesselate a sphere and I''m having a weird problem. My method is to take a unit polyhedron, usually octahedron or icosahedron. Then, I divide each triangle into 4 more triangles, from the midpoints of each side. I subtract the origin of the sphere from these points to make them vectors pointing from the center of the sphere, then I normalize these vectors. (1/magnitude) Finally I scale the vectors by the defined radius. The problem is, I get these spikes at the points where the original unit polyhedron had converging planes. It''s weird, and I can''t think of why it''s doing it. Any and all help is much appreciated.
I had this same problem when I made my sphere. Unfortunately, I can''t remember the exact cause of the problem. I think it is because you aren''t scaling all the points by your radius equally. Are you normalizing your vertices of the original octahedron? Check that.

She had been wondering. She had thought about his hands. She had spent way too much time thinking about his lips. She hadn't noticed how much time she had been thinking of him. Sometimes she wonders when was that turning point. When was it when her mind started to trace back every second they had spent together.
Once upon a time he could have loved her. Once upon a time she could have taken a chance. She could have jumped off a bridge. She could have given him a chance. She could have.
She started to guess how much time he spent thinking of her. Did he? Does he? Does he think of her. Does he wonder she might be the one he can love. She made a mistake. One little mistake that has marked her forever. Scarlett letter. We think we have moved forward, we think we have evolved. We still think as if we were in the beginning of time. She has been labeled. She can't turn back time.
They met once. They kept meeting in random places. They kept running into each other. This had to be written in the stars. It was destiny, it was meant to be. How long has it been?
Once you've been broken, there is no way to hide it. Once you've been labeled as common, you can never erase that word. She wishes she were one of kind. She wishes someone will notice her in a crowd. It's not possible. We still brand people as cattle. We still judge people as if we had never made a mistake.
She made one mistake, she had been in love. She made one mistake, she had been blue. She has been in the dark for too long. She's afraid of the dark. She's afraid of loving. She's afraid of being hurt. The funny thing is she has been hurt, she has loved and she's always been in the dark. She loved him. Desperate, can't-breathe kind of love.
Now she remembers. Now she wonders. Would anyone find her and think of her of anything but ordinary? She's been labeled, she's been branded, she's ordinary.

She has never been something, anything, not up close or from afar, that looks like ordinary.

PA Sport is to downgrade its coverage of county cricket this season, resulting in a sizeable loss of work for around 20 freelance journalists.
The Howden-headquartered sports news service has for years paid journalists to report directly from the grounds attached to the 18 County Championship sides.
PA Sport's customers include most regional and national newspapers, with many relying on PA for their cricket coverage.
No.
“It is conceivable that some county matches this summer will be played with no written media in the press box at certain times, as a lot of regional freelances see the PA contract as the basis for their commitment to attend every day of their county club’s home matches.
PA Sport previously tried to take county cricket coverage in-house in 2001, but swiftly reconsidered after protests from customers.
The Sports Journalists' Association said it had been contacted by many cricket writers and that there was "widespread anger at the timing of the announcement". The season starts on April 6.
SJA secretary Steven Downes added: “This is the latest example of the erosion of the worth of proper journalistic values, and it undermines, yet again, the work of many of our members.
“How PA can fulfil their obligations to the ECB when they do not staff county cricket matches remains to be explained.

They never faltered. Though the loss in the corps was heavy, yet three is still one-twelfth of the effective total of my command on duty with the corps.
Lieutenant Colonel 23rd North Carolina, Commanding Twelfth North Carolina.
On Saturday evening, the 2nd, about 5 o'clock, we arrived at a point on the north side of the Plank road, where we formed our line of battle, and were ordered forward to attack the enemy, which we did, being in the front line.
The next morning we were again drawn up in line of battle on the north side of the Plank road, along a line of the enemy's breastworks, which had been abandoned by them on the day previous. After being properly formed, we were ordered forward, we being the third line; but no command being given to halt,and my regiment being governed by the right battalion, we marcher dover the second line to nearly equal distance between the front and second line, when we halted. The front line, being hotly engaged with the enemy, soon gave way in confusion, passing through our line. My regiment stood firm and soon became hotly engaged with the enemy front. The Fifth Regiment North Carolina troops, from some cause or other, failed to come up, it being, or should have been, on the left of our line; but it not coming up, the enemy outflanked us on our left, and poured destructive volleys into our left flank, which compelled us to fall black to the breastworks heretofore named. My regiment rallied very readily. After the line of battle was reformed and disposition made to protect our left flank, we were again ordered forward. My regiment moved forward in good order, and soon we became engaged with the enemy in our front, defeating them; and soon thereafter the firing ceased, the enemy being defeated at all points, and our victorious army in possession of the field of battle.
I cannot find words to express my admiration of the daring and heroism displayed by both officers and men during the entire engagement. The officers were all at their proper places, discharging their duties with zeal and fidelity, regardless of the shot and shell of the enemy, which flew thick around them.

There is a prophecy of an earthquake hitting the land of Israel in the "latter days."
As this earthquake is specific to the land of Israel, it is NOT the great earthquake of Revelation 16:18. As this prophecy is when Israel is dwelling safely (Ezekiel 38:8,11,14), at the when when, this is not for the early 21st century. This occurs sometime after Jesus returns.

During installation of the King family’s geothermal system, the circulation from the send hole found an underground channel to the first hole, blowing out a geyser at the surface and covering the scene with mud.
We threw out our oil burner 10 years ago and installed our 5-ton geothermal HVAC. We decided to do it when oil deliveries approached $500 each. We also did it, in part, because we could pay for the system by the time we retired. Paying for oil deliveries on a fixed income sounded like something best avoided. And reducing emissions also fit our way of life.
We learned about geothermal through water well organizations, at trade shows and in journals like National Driller. We started the process while speaking with a local well drilling contractor, Negley’s, at a home show.
Our project was relatively easy. We have 25 acres and lots of space in our yard for a rig. Negley’s drilled two 375-foot-deep holes. We had no worries about cuttings control. After they were done drilling and the cuttings dried out a little bit, I used them to fill potholes in my dirt driveway. If you guys could package that, I think there is a market there for dirt driveway patch materials.
I love my geothermal HVAC and use every opportunity to talk about it. Years ago, my wife bought hay from a friend, whose husband drove the truck out to deliver it. He was a homebuilder, so I asked him, “When building new homes, why don’t you guys put in geothermal HVAC systems?” His answer was that he wanted his customer to spend money on the work he — not someone else — did. I guess he was afraid of losing that drilling and loop money, and he preferred that customers spent it instead on another bathroom. This is why we need to work to spread the word, because homebuyers aren’t always offered this option by homebuilders. At least, that was the case then.
Geothermal is getting attention even in areas where you wouldn’t typically expect. In Fulton County, Pa., the historic courthouse went geothermal. It was a 56-hole, 400-foot-deep project in a relatively small lot bounded by a cemetery and municipal parking areas. Controlling cuttings was important. Negley’s had the contract.
How difficult was this task? After the drilling started, I hopped over the mountain to see how it was going. There were three other local drillers at the gate watching. They had wanted to quote it, but had reservations on handling the cuttings. They were there to see how it was done. A containment area was built and the cuttings were moved around on skid loaders. The job was successfully done, and our neighboring county’s historical courthouse now has modern geothermal HVAC.
I was proud of my local M&T Bank when it built a new branch in Chambersburg, Pa. It was designed for energy savings with special windows and skylights. It has all kinds of automated ventilation and heat-recovery systems. It even collects rainwater and saves 30 percent on its water bill. And it has geothermal HVAC. A driller came and drilled holes for a vertical loop system.
I have been on a couple of school projects where there were 300 holes, 500-feet-deep. These can take a fleet of rigs and the financial strength to do a project like this, knowing the payment can take some time.
When it comes to geothermal, customers could be owners of private homes up to large commercial buildings, or managers of medium and large government projects. Some jobs are handled by the “one rig” contractor, and some require four to six rigs. There’s something for everybody.
This industry is driven by the desire to save money and/or the desire to help our environment. Sometimes these efforts get caught up in today’s divisive politics. We all grimace when we read about legislators making rules and regulations. Are they going to protect our aquifers, or protect someone’s wallet? Are they going to help us reduce greenhouse gas emissions, or do they have some other interests? Water well driller organizations must push for our lawmakers to provide the safety net for our aquifers, and to help promote the benefits of geothermal HVAC.
Regardless, geothermal helps all of us in this industry. Even if you do not get involved in geothermal work, you might get water jobs because your competition is tied up on a geothermal project. Geothermal has helped level the ups and downs of demand. It has saved many contractors from closing the doors when housing was down. Geothermal has also enabled business expansion. In some cases, it enabled the “and son” or “and daughter” to be added to the company name. Perhaps geothermal paves the way for contractors to also buy a smaller rig that can open up other business areas, such as geotechnical.
We talk a lot about geothermal’s home heating benefits but, for us, geothermal also gave us central air conditioning. It’s really inexpensive AC — to the point where my glasses fog up when I come in from summer yard work, and I don’t feel extravagant one bit. And that’s not counting aiding my hot water heater.
With my geothermal project, I made my wife happy, my wallet happy and the families of the drilling company happy. I borrowed the money, so I even made my bank happy. And, if geothermal work generates a drill rod order, it will make me even happier still.

Born in California in 1949, John Divola has disrupted traditional expectations about photography for the past forty years. Featuring six works from his 2008 series, Dark Star, this compact installation touches on the central themes of the artist's practice, capturing Divola's interventions — in this case, discs he spray painted on the walls of abandoned homes outside of Los Angeles — in a series of haunting images.

Regarding the current investment climate, Miller said, "The economy is accelerating, inflation isn't a problem," and "the Fed is going to keep interest rates pegged at zero for the indefinite future." Miller expresses some concern about inflated valuations but adds that earnings will probably grow rapidly this year and next. He adds, "we can still find lots of stocks that are not just attractive, but also very cheap, and we don't have to play in ones that are super expensive."
Miller mentions inflation risk, noting that it is "higher than it's been in a long time." He adds that efforts to raise the minimum wage, while "all to the good," could lead to profit margins being under some pressure. His main concern, however, is a situation in which stock prices escalate: "If there's a runaway market, it's going to be tougher. If we have a 5% or 10% correction—or more—because of some external event, that's good. Prices will be more attractive."
On his Amazon stake, Miller says he has no plans to sell. "I still think Amazon is a double in three years, so why would I sell?" He doesn't view the stock as expensive, noting that it's trading "right in the middle of its historical range."
Regarding his rationale for owning Bitcoin, Miller explains that the cryptocurrency offers a solution that has haunted economies since their beginning: "government monopoly over the money supply and the banking systems, leading to serial defaults, confiscation with nationalization, inflation and 25% money growth even in the U.S." Regarding its value, Miller argues, "There's only going to be 21 million Bitcoins in the world, and 18.5 million have already been mined and circulated. So, we've got 2.5 million to go. It's Economics 101. The supply grew 2.5% last year; it's growing 2% this year."
Miller's bets on both Amazon and Bitcoin have, in Green's words, had a "startling impact on his fortune." When he asked Miller if it's fair to say he's now a billionaire, he replied, "Yes, that's fair."

"We will work with family members and union leadership on an appropriate memorial when the pandemic subsides," Foye said. "We are all moved daily by our hard-working transportation employees, who continue to show up every day, demonstrating the best of New York."
"This is undoubtedly the toughest time in MTA history as we continue to navigate and manage through this unprecedented emergency," Foye said, calling the deaths "the most devastating blow of this crisis."
"Everyone here at the MTA is mourning and grieving along with their families and friends. They will never be forgotten," he added. "They and the remainder of the MTA's 74,000-strong workforce are the heroes moving heroes of this pandemic."
The agency last week said it would pay a $500,000 "death benefit" to every family of an MTA worker who died of COVID-19 as part of an agreement with three labor unions, ""

Many people create websites to share their ideas, promote their hobbies, or sell a few things online. A shared server is a good choice in cost and power if you’re one of those people. You’ll need a dedicated server if yourg a business-focused website is difficult, as you must consider performance, uptime, security, and other factors. When creating your website for a rock-solid website base that can handle heavy traffic loads while still allowing you to install your scripts, in this case, UK dedicated servers would be a better option for you.
Our plans are suitable for large businesses or websites with a high volume of visitors. Clients h customize it to suit their specific requirements. The dedicated plans are also available in managed and unmanaged versions, with the latter enabling the hosting center to handle the server for the client in any issues. If you wish to choose the plan of Dedicated Managed Servers, it will cost you more than other chap plans, but you will also have much more benefits than cheap plans.
When you’re the CEO of a prominent company, you’ll want total control over your operations. However, if you use a shared server, you can lose access. With our Cheap Dedicated Server Hosting, you own the hardware and, as a result, the software. You have root access on both managed and unmanaged dedicated servers. It gives you a tremendous amount of power. You are free to use your dedicated server in any way you want, install any program you want, and do whatever you require with it.
Last but not least, when going online, one of the most critical considerations is protection. Viruses and malicious programmers can cause your website’s activity to be disrupted in several ways. Various types of hackers are also looking for a way into your website to steal personrd numbers. Both of these attacks will drive your company further away from your customers. UK Dedicated has effortless features for finding all of the bugs and should update security patches regularly. Furthermore, since you are the server’s only user, the chances of another user entering the attack are slim. You are also protected from internal attacks since no other users are open.

Dunk started airing recently on Ary Digital with Sana Javed, Nauman Ejaz and Bilal Abbas in lead roles. The drama has a very different yet a bold script as it revolves around sexual harassment and #MeToo movement.
Professor Humayun (Nauman Ejaz) is accused of sexual harassment by Amal (Sana Javed) who is a student and her fiance Haider (Bilal Abbas) is taking a stand for her as he takes the matter to the media and threatens the faculty of the university by boycotting the classes along with other students.
The drama aired another episode where both Professor Humayun and Amal bring are called by the higher authorities of the university to explain what exactly happend between the two. Both brought in light what happend between the two.
Professor Humayun told the authorities that Amal is just trying to save her fiance Haider as he sent some inappropriate pictures to a female teacher of the university which is why they both have accused him of sexual harassment.
Amal on the other side explains that she was harassed by Prof. Humayun when she went to apologise and requested him to grant another chance to her fiance Haider as the pictures were just sent by mistake.
The drama also shed light on how families and children are disturbed when any such thing happens. Prof. Humayun who is still not proven guilty is going through a trauma as his daughter is being ignored by her friends in school and has started asking questions from her mother regarding her father.
Stories from both left fans a bit confused yet we are very excited to know how the drama will unfold now and who actually is at fault. We are sure that this drama will be leaving a message for viewers as each epiosde airs.

letters, she went to a grocery store and slipped two knives into her shopping bag.
Lhermitte told investigators that, when she returned, she hid the knives in a drawer and called over her youngest daughter Mina while the other children were watching Spy Kids 3. Lhermitte tried to strangle Mina, but when the child struggled Lhermitte resorted to slashing her throat with one of the stolen knives, all while speaking comforting words and apologizing to the child. Mehdi was the next to be killed, the youngest and the only son. Lhermitte cut Mehdi'k.
Lhermitte filed for and received a judgment of divorce before her trial; Moqadem at first appealed the decision but later withdrew his objection. Following the trial, Lhermitte was not able to pay for the trial costs, so under Belgian law it fell to her now ex-husband to pick up the bill. This conformed to the Law of Belgium,overall court expenses and fines were 72,743 euros (about $93,000). Moqadem said he was “disgusted and revolted” by the injustice of this billing system. Moqadem's attorney attempted to have the bill written off, calling for “administrative requirements to be balanced by decency” given the nature of the tragedy.
In February 2010, Moqadem married Asmae Beldi, a professor of Islamic law at the Faculty of Islamic Sciences in Brussels. A daughter was born to the couple about a year later. In June 2013, it was reported that Moqadem had lost 30,000 euros in an investment scam and that he was being harassed by Lhermitte's former attorney for further fees.
In 2019, Lhermitte was transferred to a psychiatric prison. On 28 February 2023, Lhermitte was euthanised on the 16th anniversary of the murders. She was 56.
In December 2010, Moqadem and Schaar filed a lawsuit against Lafosse demanding that they be able to review the film's screenplay. The 4th Civil Chamber of the Court of Brussels ruled that the lawsuit was "admissible but unfounded." However, production had already begun – cast negotiations were finished, and the team had already approached the French government about receiving subsidies – and Lafosse demonstrated no intent to hand over his work. The pair's lawyer subsequently released an official statement: "Moqadem and Schaar feel that this is a violation of their privacy and do not understand why the filmmakers have so little respect for them."

all the dogs I've met and boarded that smell bad or "doggie" they've all been kibble-fed - typically not a good kibble. Garbage in, garbage out. Wet dogs in the house - that's something I do live with in the summer. I encourage the dogs to romp around a bit after they swim and then I towel dry them. That gets them to the 'damp' stage of post swim. If it's truly important to me that they are totally dry I'll blow dry them. Otherwise I accept that they are going to come into the house and leave damp-prints on the floor.
Towels - lots of towels. My Air-Force Commander blow dryer. Frozen yogurt cups for the dogs after they swim. Sunscreen is good too...Oh and Bug Spray!!!
The pool (well not THIS pool) came with the house. The original pool was a doughboy, with a DE filter. I'll NEVER (NEVER) do another DE pool filter ever. It's messy, it's a pain to clean, when the filter fingers break it's a nightmare. NEVER (and I mean NEVER) again. I like the cartridge filter - even if they are more maintenance and more expensive. It's worth it to not have a bag of DE break in the back seat of your 30 day old Saab. Ditto to some extent with sand filters. What are you going to do with leftover mounds of dirty sand?
I've got a two level deck - the top being the pool level - it's larger than I need it to be - but I liked the size when I was running the hot tub. My pool is smack in the center of my yard - the agility geek in me with my equipment and maybe wanting to practice out there wishes the pool wasn't so dead-center of the yard...I'd prefer an in-ground pool - but again - the above ground came with the house and when it was time to put in the replacement $4,000 (inc installation) sounded A LOT better than $17,000 for an in-ground number..There are some options now for partially in-ground pools - which is something I'd consider - but when it came down to price and convenience it was another above ground pool for us....
Sure there are - but they're prohibitively expensive (in my opinion) and might actually be more difficult to balance. I've developed a routine now with Chlorine - I rarely have to use test strips anymore (though 10 years ago I used at least one strip a day) now that I've fallen into that routine. I can smell when the pool needs chlorine (remember, chlorine smell increases when the available free chlorine drops. So when you smell chlorine in hotel corridors that's a good indication that chlorine is working hard to sanitize that pool (and likely has done so successfully). Either way - I run my pool from April through October - that'd be a whole lot of bacquacil!!!

There is a cold casNorth America. An epidemic of violence against females in general notwithstanding, Indigenous females are at a great disadvantage5,712 cases of MMIWG, however oOf these 116 cases, the youngest victim was less than one year old and the eldest was 83 (UIHI 2018). The roots of this problem include institutional racism, poor record collection, a disconnectIndigenous communities, and a lack of representation of this crisis in the mass media.
In a recent s, 506 cases were confirmed, with this number likely to be greater as a result of the lack of data collection (UIHI 2018). Under the Freedom of Information Act, the institute tried to access records from 71ile 40 agencies provided some level of information, 14 did not, and 18 agencies never responded. In a conversation with the institute,for example, was quoted saying, “the Homicide unit found that ‘N’ was being used in the 60s up through the late 70s and early 80s – meant Negro not Native American” (UIHI 2018). This racial misclassification alone could be responsible for hundreds of false identifications. Seattle has the highest number of MMIWG out of all US cities. This helps to disprove another common misconception that all of the violence towards Indigenous females is occurring only on reservations. Although 70%because the general population is unaware of this fact it is easy to assume that the complexity of jurisdiction on reservations is the reason these cases are not being solved (UIHI 2018).
Lack of mass media’s attention to this crisis and an existing implicit cultural bias in reporting contribute to systematic marginalizing of Indigenous peoples. The UIHI has analyzed 506 cases, but only 25% of the cases were reported on by local, regional, or national media. Reflecting implicit cultural bias and overwhelming ignorance about Indigenous heritage and presencen the media focused on violence on reservations. Through content analysis of the existing media coverage, the UIHI discovered that the language often used in the articles reporting on violence vis-à-vis Indigenous persons took on a victim-blaming tone. Some of the specific examples in such coverage include, but are not limited to, a focus on drugs and alcohol, misgendering victims, giving false information on the cases, and/or not naming the victims. Using this rhetoric continues perpetuating the false narrative that reservations are dangerous places and promotes harmful stereotypes of Indigenous peoples. Such rhetoric does not help addressing an existing crisis of MMIWG i Due to the lack of reporting and the implicit bias in what little media coverage this crisis is given,has implemented a system of critical review for journalists to ensure they are not coming from a place of cultural bias.
A mortifying case of Savanna LaFontaine Greywind finally brought this epidemic to the mass media’s attention. Savanna was a 22-year-old from North Dakota who was murdered in 2017. She was eight months pregnant when she was lured into her upstairs neighbor’s apartment and strangled to death. The female who murdered her took Savanna’s baby and dumped Savanna’s body in the Red River. When Savanna’s mother initially reported that her daughter was missing, law enforcement officers searched the neighbor’s apartment and found nothing. Savanna’s mother went on record stating that she felt the police were “very rude and had no sympathy whatsoever… ” (Gumprecht 2017). The police officers searched the neighbor’s apartment three times and claimed to not find anything suspicious.
Savanna’s disappearance did not make it into the local news until four days after she was reported missing. Though the police officers had searched the apartment three times, they obtained a search warrant to do a thorough search only five days after Savanna’s disappearance. This final search resulted in finding Savanna’s baby. The female neighbor and her boyfriend were arrested. Savanna’s body was found only on August 27th, nine days after her initial disappearance, by local kayakers; her body was wrapped in plastic and lodged against a tree by the bank of the Red River. On August 28th, the neighbor and her boyfriende (Gumprecht 2017).
This horrific story finally forced the United States’ government to act on this crisis; this tragedy let to Savanna’s Act, a bill proposed to the Senate that would vastly improve the system of addressing violence toward and. The Act will (1) s; (2) develop guidelines for responses s; (3) report statistics on missing and murdered Indigenous persons; and (4) make the FBI to include gender in its annual statistics on the website reporting on missing and unidentified persons. Savanna’s Act has recently passed through the Senate committee on Indian Affairs and, at the time of this writing, (Murkowski 2019).
While Savanna’s Act isapply to urban areas, which are not under federal but states’ jurisdiction. To make a difference in this crisis, the consideration for urban account. Further, the idea of Indigenous Data Sovereignty would allow tribal nations to be notified and given the right to speak for their citizens, if they are missing or murdered. Currently, it is uncommon for tribal nations to be notified or given any data regarding their citizens. With Indigenous Data Sovereignty, Indigenous nations will be able to control th (UIHI 2018).
Forensic positive identification is paramount to addressing the crisis of MMIWG. These Indigenous persons have become all but invisible in the eyes of the government and the mass media. Hence, providing a positive identification toe can offer help and closure. Some techniques for positive identification could be dental comparisons or racial/ethnic estimations. Due to the racial misclassification discussed earlier, being able to determine if remains belong to an Indigenous person will help improve the data collection on this crisis. Another important way of addressing this crisis is personal and social activism, which begins by educating oneself on local Indigenous history and heritage and becoming acutely aware that Indigenous peoples are still here, living next to you. One activist intervention is to acknowledge; wearing red on this day will signal solidarity to help raise awareness of this crisis. But most importantly, we should speak up against violence vis-a-vis Indigenous peoples in our communities and confront a five-centuries long history . Becoming informed about this crisis and Indigenous history will help you, the reader, to speak to your families, neighbors, state representatives, and reflect creatively on what else you can do to help establish justice and reconciliation in your community! Find your way and find your voice!

quickly, and perhaps even decline, than in less productive ones.
The goals of “full employment” and its close counterparts, including “potential” output, also leave much to be desired as guides to sound monetary policy, in part because they’re nebulous, but also because theory tells us that even if they weren’t so, attending to them alone wouldn’t suffice to “pin down” monetary policy in the sense of establishing a uniquely desirable path for either the money supply itself or the price level. Instead, many such paths might be equally capable of keeping employment and output close to their “full” or “potential” levels.
So, what should monetary policy aim for?im should be the stable growth of total spending in the economy. Let spending grow at a steady rate, roughly equal to the rate of growth of the labor force, and the inflation rate will vary only as productivity varies, which is what it ought to do. At the same time, employment, though perhaps less than “full” according to some other criteria, will not be so on account of any lack of spending, and will therefore not be so in any way warranting further doses of monetary medicine.
While devising a monetary rule that strikes a correct balance between the supposed “wrongs” of price level movements on one hand and less than “full” employment on the other may ultimately prove as intractable a problem as squaring the circle, devising one that’s consistent with preserving a stable level of spending is, comparatively speaking, child’s play. The challenge consists of getting both Keynesians and Monetarists, as well as others, to agree that stability of spending, rather than any particular values of inflation or unemployment, ought to be the ultimate objective of monetary policy. </s> BENGALURU: Tallana, directed by N.

Gallo wins Massachusetts Open
FITCHBURG – Kyle Gallo of Kensington, Conn., wonon Wednesday, defeating Michael Ballo of Stamford, Conn., by a shot.
With the win, Gallo claimed the Clarence G. Cochrane Memorial Trophy and a winner’s check of $15,000. Bello earned $5,000 for his runner-up effort.
It took a near flawless performance in Wednesday’s final round for Gallo to capture the title.
Fueled by a 1-under par-34 back nine, the 36-year-old mini-tour player finished with a three-day total of 5-under 205.
“It is really gratifying the way I handled it down the stretch not knowing what was going on,” said Gallo, who chose not to receive updates on the rest of the field during his final nine holes. “I just kept playing and I figured that a good two putt on 18 would do it.”
Throughout the 18-hole march to the finale, the top 10 competitors were within three strokes of each other from start to finish.
Gallo has also won state Open titles in Vermont, Connecticut and Maine, as well as the 2009 Cape Cod Open.
Amateur Brian Higgins (Franklin CC) began Wednesday tied for the lead, and he was looking to become the first amateur since 1999 to win the Massachusetts Open. But his final round of 2-over 72 dropped him into a tie for sixth at 2-under 208, good for low amateur honors with Chris Congdon of Foxborough CC.
The top Cape Cod finisher was Michael Carbone of Brewster, whose 3-over 213 was good for 21st place and a $800 payday. Brad Wheatley of Cape Cod National GC tied for 26th place at 5-over par 215 and earned a check for $500.

European Court of Justice: Right to deduct VAT on fuel cards
General Customs Directorate reluctantly accepts the Supreme Administrative Court’s judgment
6.12.2013 , Tax
The change in the definition of the tax base is a response to ambiguities that started to arise aft(“SAC”) was published. In 2012, the SAC was considering a dispute over the inclusion of unrealised exchange differences in the tax base. According to the SAC, “the accounting method that causes unrealised exchange differences to be included in revenues in accounting may not result in the taxation of ‘income’ that is no income by nature under the Income Taxes Act and has not even been considered income by the tax administration since the very beginning of the force of the Income Taxes Act (i.e. since 1993)”. The General Customs Directorate (“GCD”) perceived the SAC judgment as a decision in a specific case and therefore impossible to follow in other cases due to its uniqueness. The GCD did not see any reason for changing the established practice regarding the taxation of unrealised exchange differences – this means that it insisted on reporting the differences in the P&L and their taxation despite the conflicting opinion of the SAC.

I think Kevan and Duane knew our wedding date before our parents did; I was so excited to book them!And then how many brides can say they almost couldn't wait for their honeymoon to END just so they could get home to look at pictures?That was me!
Working with them was just FUN and, even though they've been to dozens and dozens of weddings, I know they were having fun with us too. After almost four hours of shooting on a winter day in the Rockies they asked, "Are you getting cold?Do you want to quit?" I could only reply, "More pictures!" We were having a blast. (My only 'criticism' is how thoughtful they were when they rushed over to help me after I fell face first into a snowbank, crinolens in the air. Now THAT was a shot I wish they had taken!Darnit if they aren't Gentlemen!
From having our dog scale a fire escape during our Engagement Shoot, to researching multiple amazing sites for our wedding day, I was continually impressed by their thoroughness, imagination and commitment to detail!

whose research explores how innovation affects markets.
Commercial aviation is seeing its darkest period ever. That’s according tou.
Mr. Rovinescu, who has led the airline since 2009, is grappling with a simple yet thorny question. How do you balance the books when no one wants what you’re selling? Airline executives around the world are facing the same challenge as COVID-19 brings air travel to historic lows. So far, the response has been to ground airplanes and furlough workers – that, and tap into taxpayer funds.
Yes, in a move that will surprise few, C-suite executives now want government to help. For Air Canada, it’s hardly the first time. After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the carrier received $100-million from Ottawa. In 2009, Air Canada pushed for – and secured – a government commitment for financial relief in the form of lower obligatory payments to its underfunded pension plan. What concessions the carrier extracts this time around are anyone’s guess. One thing is certain: With losses topping $1-billion in the latest quarter, the carrier needs help, and fast.
So far, demands have included the usual hot-ticket items – things such as capping executive pay, axing hefty bonuses and eliminating stock buybacks. None of these are necessarily bad ideas. For example, using public funds to buy back company stock, a move that largely benefits corporate executives, defies logic. Eliminating this practice would be a good start. But what Canadians would really benefit from – what Air Canada should promise in exchange for using our cash – is an end to practices that aren’t in the public interest.
Between 2000 and 2006, Air Canada faced allegations saying it worked with – instead of competing against – rival carriers to set prices for shipping cargo. The airline denied wrongdoing, although it did pay out millions in agreements to settle such claims.
Federal regulators have also faulted Air Canada for offering fares that don’t cover its operating costs. The move, which violates competition law, was deemed an abuse of the carrier’s “dominant” market position. The Competition Bureau has also expressed concerns A.T. Inc. is likely to reduce competition for Canadian consumers.
COVID-19 may have grounded airplanes, but it also offers an opportunity to revamp the industry. Airlines want our money? I say, with pleasure. But in exchange, taxpayers should expect to see better corporate governance.

Senator admit that government stole Social Security money
The government has been borrowing (aka stealing) surplus social security revenue to pay for other programs (wars) and promising to repay it (right) with other tax revenue (which don't exist).
With deficits that go larger and larger... when will that money be repaid? NEVER... that's when.
That is the crazy thing, there is no such thing as surplus.
The system was designed to work in a vacuum, but the problem is...
There are too many suckers suckering the suckers.
SS was always it's own fund, outside of the general budget.
The Reagan Administration made it part of the general budget.
SS is much more successful than people realize, it nearly ALWAYS has a surplus, which is why they moved it to the general budget to use those funds.
So yeah, SS has been pillaged for nearly 30 years now. The reason they say it won't be solvent by 20xx (it varies depending on the source) is because they're using it for their own purposes.
Surviving family members do not get one cent of their parents SS money after they die. If your parents put in to SS for their whole lives, then die at 65 before even getting to their own money they put in, the gov't keeps it all and the family gets squat! THAT is wrong IMHO, it's the same thing as raiding someone's retirement account funds, because that is what SS is basically.
They got it all worked out though, because most of the baby boomers are dying off between 60 and 70, which is a lot of money the gov't will be keeping for their own use.
It wouldnt be so bad, if it would be spent for things America actually needs. But with the degree to which congress is bought off, its anyones guess how much out of every dollar is given to private companies because Americans and America need their services and how much goes to a company, because they own X congressmen.

Multi Talented actor and musician William C. Ingram on his way to HollyWood
Los Angeles, Jun 29, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - Multi-talented actor and musician William C. Ingram has had a hard road on his way to pursuing his dreams. We able to share some of what has happened on his journey with us. "I used to sleep in a FedEx truck after I got put out of where I was living." Ingram was working at FedEx as a delivery driver at one point in his life. He had recently got into a disagreement with a close friend and was asked to leave. Instead of asking someone else to stay at their place, he decided to tough it out and stand on his own. "I would go to a local Planet Fitness and take showers after work every day. I knew that the situation I was in would only make me stronger as a person." Today Ingram has worked with several award-winning actors, directors, and musicians from films that featured on Netflix all the way to musicians like Bootsy Collins! You may follow Ingram on his Instagram for new films and music he will be working on. @theingram

You have hit on one of my biggest peeves with patterns!
You're the second blogger who's discussed wanting to make a Rhubarb Whirl quilt. I love it ...and the colors in the picture you shared are fabulous!I'm seriously contemplating ordering it ...
Oh My to have a pattern!All this time!
I have vague guilty quilty feelings about that happening all the time when I buy a second book or pattern and then find I had it!
What happens is that each publisher has guidelines for how much "extra" fabric to allow -- since fabric stores sometimes cut sloppily and quilters make mistakes...the publisher I edit for likes to have enough for an extra strip or an extra block component, for instance. And then it's up to the technical editor's judgment (good or bad) about how to keep the cutting instructions easy to follow without requiring a lot of extra fabric. Some quilters are better than others at figuring out how to cut efficiently!I find it's harder with "scrappy" quilts like this because you want a wide variety of fabrics but you don't need much of each one -- and the standard unit of measurement is a FQ for most shops, rather than a F8th...
I'd forgotten this book/quilt. I, too, own it and have left it on the shelf, probably after reading the instructions. Your quilt is so pretty...I may have to dust off my brain and see what I can figure out...
I have the Primitive Gatherings pattern and yes, I still need to make this quilt!
And about the fabric requirements: today I relize that I can make a quilt pattern with just 2 FQs instead of the 3/4 yard the pattern call for ...I think you always need to check!
Good for you for disclosing your challenges with the pattern. I was really angry about a poorly written pattern, crammed in tiny print on glossy colored paper and I wish I would have written the designer...how can they improve without feedback?Hope this turns out just as you've envisioned!
It's horrible that any book publisher would allow a book to be published without the instructions being clear as to light, medium, or dark fabrics and the amount needed. You know Renee's fabrics with those numbers weren't produced for more than a year (if that long), so why print a book that's such a pain in the neck to use?Rant on, sister!
my faves?Sweetwater patterns are the best!
As far as you ranting, why not consider what you had to say as a public service announcement rather than a rant?It may have encouraged a few people who had been confused before reading what you had to say to go ahead & dive in & make that quilt!
I made & finished a quilt top at last week-end's retreat with the entire pattern printed on the back of a postcard!I'll just say it wasn't easy & leave it at that!
Thank you for your discussion on making this pattern. I have the booklet I purchased specifically to make Rhubarb Whirl and found the cutting directions taking more energy to decipher than I had at the time. You have helped greatly!
I went to Renee's Need'l Love website and found the books and patterns are on sale for $5. Apparently, her business has all but folded. Maybe this is why...
