RAPID CITY, S.D. (KELO) — When it comes to closing a school because of a pandemic, Rapid City may soon have a new process.
Right now the superintendent has the power to close schools if the health of students and staff is threatened.
The Board of Education is looking at changing that. The policy is on Monday night’s agenda. If the changes continue to move forward, the plan would require a separate policy to close a school because of a pandemic, which.

The next time the rain is thundering down on the roof at night, climb aboard the mysterious Rain Train - have your ticket clipped by the conductor, listen to the rhythm of the wheels and the sounds of the crossings, leave the lights and houses behind, and journey on into the dark, dark night.
The Rain Train was written in one go (with many later revisions of course) one late rainy night, when the rest of the house was asleep. It was inspired by the overnight train journeys I made as a child with my parents, to visit my grandparents in the Wairarapa. I loved falling asleep to the sound and feel of the train clacking over the tracks. But, I also loved falling asleep to the sound of the rain on the roof. If only the two could be combined...
Excerpt from The Rain Train

“Right now, I have a lot of knowledge about the technical aspect of my business. However, I don’t know how to bring my product to people. I don’t know how to sell it effectively. That’s why I thought that entering the tech sales world would be the best option for me.”
“As soon as my profile was set live on the talent platform, I started receiving a lot of interview requests. The requests just kept coming, it got to the point that my profile had to be taken down. I did not have enough time physically to go through all of these selection processes. I was amazed by the number of requests in such a short time!”
“Thanks to all the workshops and courses, I was able to nail my interviews. I had a lot of fun and enjoyed getting to know so many different companies.”

Riser has run ads showing chameleons and indicating McAllister is like one because he changes his stances on issues. A new Riser ad says, "A vote for McAllister is a vote for Obamacare."
McAllister has responded by saying, "My opponent is twisting words and telling lies to try and win at all cost. The polls showed me in the lead, and this is what the establishment does …"
"We have to expand Medicaid," McAllister said.Riser said he opposes expanding Medicaid and that the health-care reform legislation has "proven to be a failure within itself."
"This is one time when experience does matter," he said. "I've demonstrated leadership and the ability to balance a (state) budget and pass legislation. I've handled constituent services."
Riser added, "I haven't just talked about reducing taxes or preserving Second Amendment rights. I've passed legislation that does it. What separates us is that I have a clear track record for protecting and preserving constitutional rights."
"Look where experience has gotten us," McAllister said. "Washington is so disconnected from the 5th District that voters are turning their backs on the establishment."
He added, "I'm a complete outsider. I've earned everything I've done in this race myself."

The southern Northwest Territories (SNWT) has been the focus of geothermal energy project interest since approximately 2010. Such interest is largely the result of peer-reviewed publications with maps that showed the SNWT region as an area of high geothermal potential (e.g., Majorowicz and Grasby 2010). In the Fort Liard area, the Manetoe dolomite facies (Manetoe Facies) of the Nahanni Formation might constitute a good geothermal basin-type reservoir target. It has demonstrated very good reservoir storage and flow capacity where it has been successfully drilled for thrusted foothills gas plays west of the hamlet of Fort Liard. Unfortunately, there is a lack of detailed peer-reviewed geoscience that adequately describes and documents reservoir quality and continuity associated with this facies. The purpose of the Fort Liard Reservoir Characterization Project is to produce peer-reviewed geoscience that will address knowledge gaps associated with reservoir quality, mineralogy, pore geometry and clay content, continuity, and areal extent for the Manetoe Facies of the Nahanni Formation within the study area.
Majorowicz, J.A. and Grasby, 2010, Heat flow, depth–temperature variations and stored thermal energy for enhanced geothermal systems in Canada, Journal of Geophysics and Engineering, Volume 7, pages 232-241.
The Fort Liard Reservoir Characterization Project focus area(Figure 1) near the hamlet of Fort Liard. The study region is broadly defined by the coordinates NW corner 62° 00’ N 124° 00’ W and SE corner 60° 00’ N 122° 00’ W (Figure 2 – Yellow Rectangle).
Figure 1. Fort Liard Reservoir Characterization Project Location.
Figure 2. Fort Liard Reservoir Characterization Project Study Area.
The hamlet of Fort Liard is located along the Fort Liard River and is populated by approximately 600 Acho Dene Koe First Nations (ADKFN) people. T32 MW (https://www.ntpc.com/our-community/community-map) supplies energy for the hamlet. Recent federal, provincial, and territorial mandates include the interhigh GHG emitting diesel generators through the development of low GHG alternative energy resources such as geothermal energy. This study will result in the delivery of the geoscience required to understand the Nahanni Manetoe Facies reservoir, a potential geothermal energy resource target near the hamlet of Fort Liard. Favorable results will support the second phase of research that would include the acquisition of accurate geothermal gradient data, Manetoe Facies reservoir heat flow measurements and modeling, geothermal resource estimates, and reservoir production modeling. Positive results for both research phases would provide technical support for a Manetoe Facies geothermal demonstration project.
The first phase of this study will produce a reservoir assessment of the Nahanni Formation carbonate, including the Manetoe Facies dolomite. Cores and samples from the Nahanni Formation in Liard area wells and three Manetoe facies outcrops were selected for detailed analysis. Assessment methods include core and sample geological descriptions, sampling for thin section analysis, x-ray diffraction (mineralogy and fractions), small plug core analysis (porosity and permeability measurements) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (pore geometry and interconnectivity, types of minerals present in the pores). Outcrops will be measured and described in the field, and samples will be taken and analyzed as previously described for the core. Manetoe Facies reservoir areal extents and continuities will be documented as observed in outcrop.
Northwest Territories Geological Survey (NTGS) Energy Geosciences conceived the project during the first quarter of 2019. It was reviewed with Infrastructure-Energy Group during the second quarter, and an interdepartmental NTGS – Infrastructure- Energy collaboration was formed during the third quarter of 2019. NTGS initiated project work in October 2019, and the project is on track for completion during the fourth quarter of 2020.

Is the Soft Drink Industry the Next Big Tobacco?
A shocking 7% of America's calories come from soda and sugary 8 million people have diabetes; mostly type 2. Beyond the 72,500 lives that diabetes claims annually, it costs the United States $174 billion each year. Hurricane Katrina, by comparison, killed 1,836 people and cost $150 billion.
The sugar-sweetened drinks can also raise blood sugar and insulin concentrations quickly, in turn leading to insulin resistance and and higher risk of diabetes, according to the researchers.
I quit drinking soda for health reasons (losing weight and cardiac arrhythmia), and it really has made a difference.
I had to go find out whether the ad in the picture was real or not. It’s not. But I did stumble across a real one that said pouring 7-Up gently into a glass of milk (not stirring it) makes it delicious and easier to drink!
Haha that is so disgusting!
Davey, my question here is: What can you recommend to replace sugary-soft-drinks in a person’s diet, that they’ll find interesting?
I’m in the process of kicking my Coca-Cola/Pepsi habit, and kicking out anything that isn’t decaf, but I’m finding it hard to find something interesting to drink other than water.
I don’t necessarily miss Coca-Cola etc, but I’ve been conditioned to think they’re the only drink available when you want a cold swig!
Add a splash of lemon to your water. Or, you can try watering down some 100% fruit juice.
Thank goodness I switched to no sugar/low calorie water based libation years ago. But then, maybe that’s where my bladder cancer came from … who knows ?!
No it’s not. Unlike tobacco it is right on the bottle what is in it and diet experts have warned for years on too much sugar intake. With additions of diet sodas that are sugar fee it negates the argument even more. Soda in general may not be healthy but it does not conceal that fact.
With all due respect, T, I disagree a bit. For soda to be labeled accurately, that is, for it to really tell you how downright poisonous it it, there would be a sticker with a big fat outline of something like a person with the words “MAY CAUSE OBESITY, DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, ROTTEN TEETH, HORMONE FLUCTUATIONS, ETC.” Pop is not ok, evere’ll stop being so unhealthy as a people.
Alex I’m not disagreeing soda is not that healthy. The problem is plenty of foods are unhealthy. It’s a matter of education and getting people to insist on more accountability by manufacturers.
I mean if you wanted to most foods could be termed unhealthy. Walnuts in sufficient quantity can cause toxic build up of poison. Peppers can cause stomach erosion. Its all about moderation and better choices.
What is even more sad is that we are paying for soda anc chips for those on food stamps. When I was in high school back when food stamps first came out, I worked in the small town grocery where I lived, there were manyTook early retirement a couple years ago and for a part time job thought working in a grocery again would be interesting–it is–but it is disappointing to see all the unhealthy food purchased with food stamps–then those who use there food stamps foolishly end up with myraid health problems due to their poor diet and welfare picks up their medical care. Seriously, people come through the line, buy $100 or more of food and all too often 95% of what they purchase is soda, chips, candy, cookies, ice cream, gum–on food stamps???????????????????
I support healthy food for all, but have to wonder if the junk food industry and AMA haven’t teamed up to get the grossly relaxed food stamp regulations adopted in the last 40 years.
Mike I agree some limits should be entailed. I will say ice cream should be allowed. Having had my father battle with cancer for several years I know it to be healthier than people think. Toward the end he could not swallow normal food and the dairy and fruits in the ice cream provided him with a good suppliment to his diet.
There are so many delicious and nutritious substitutes for junk food, just takes some planning and education. The education part is easy thanks to google.
Iced tea is a great replacement for sodas. There are so many varieties of tea you should be able to find a flavor that you like, both with and without caffeine. Just be easy on the sweetener. A very small amount of honey adds just the right amount of sweetness, or try no sweetener at all. In the flavored teas, it’s often not even necessary.
Hi ho Davey Wavey!
After spinal surgery I came off sodas and changed to flavoured waters thinking they were better – turns out they still contain about 72g per 1.5L bottle (which I would drink each day)!
I like your suggestion of mixing 100% fruit juice with plain water – but, lets say I put 100ml juice into a 300ml glass, top up with water – thats 12g sugar per glass. x5 to make up my normal 1.5L a day = 60g sugar per day. Not a huge difference.
Sorry for what must look like a maths oral exam, but I’m trying to find the best options!!
Well it really depends on the person you are, because if you don’t smoke then the tobacco industry isn’t big, so that really doesn’t automaticity make the soft drink industry the next big thing if you don’t like soft drinks.

Figure 7.6 show the properties in SQL Server Management Studio before the change and Figure 7.7 shows the properties have changed. Figure 7.8 shows the Profiler output from SMO to alter the properties of the database. Be sure and edit the code in Listing 7.5 to specify a SQL Server instance and the database name.

Figure 7.8 –T-SQL captured by SQL Profiler.
Database Modification Summary
In this example you saw how to use the SMO Database object and how to modify the database properties using the
Alter() method. When you specified a property and assigned it a new value, SMO stored this value in memory and marked it dirty (or modified). When
Alter() was executed, it generated the TSQL to make the modification and connected to SQL Server to execute the T-SQL. In Figure 7.7 you see the results of that modification. In Figure 7.8 you saw the T-SQL generated to make the modification.
The concepts you have seen in the SMO Database object examples can be applied to a Table, Column, Server and many other objects. It is important to master the concept of looking for {set, get} or {get} when examining the properties in the SMO object members list (see Figure 7.9). Any property that you see set can be changed and those that only have get can only be retrieved. As documentation and objects change you should always check the documentation for each object to ensure that you know whether or not you can actually change the property in that version of SMO. </s> Hercules rocks!
Taking its cues from Disney's animated movie, Hercules, this is an enjoyable romp which displaysm the House of Mouse in games like Aladdin and Lion King. It retains the distinctive look of the movie and combines it with some interesting gameplay, making this a good bet for fans of its inspiration, or simply those who enjoy a good game. Hercules himself is replaced by the player, who is charged by Zeus to complete a series of quests in order to save the land. You're issued with a handy boat for getting around and then it's up to you to put everything to rights. Missions are varied and include the likes of helping construction on the labyrinth to contain the legendary Minotaur, but you've got to keep an eye out for Pain and Panic, Hades' two little helpers who are only too keen to throw a spanner in the works. You also get little quizzes on the Olympian Gods, which is a nice extra and which help to make the game educational as well as entertaining. Hades Challenge really is quite a cracking little game. It leans more towards the strategy and edutainment side of things than many Disney licenses, but that's no bad thing as the various gameplay elements are implemented slickly and with intelligence. It's certainly a visually striking game, with some lush environments to enjoy and of course, lots of memorable character work, while the delicious sense of humor as seen in the movie is also present in abundance. All in all, an unexpected treat for Disney fans. </s> Just Suburbs: Creating Equitable Opportunities in Suburban Development

percussion, because the crazy anti-life death-loving Yemeni muslims forbade all music except for their miserable call to prayer. But those corrupt, pleasure-seeking Jews would not give up song and music, continued to play music on found instruments, that they could hide from the raids of the committee-to-prevent-voce-and-promote-virtue.
Love and beauty is more powerful than hatred and death. Love and beauty will win in the end.
Wrong! If you actually read what I wrote on the subject you could not possibly arrive at that conclusion:
"There is nothing great in the Qur'an, the Sunnah of the Prophet, islamic philosophy, jurisprudence and sharia law. From an ethical point of view Islam must be condemned as much as Nazism is condemned and for almost the same reasons. No doubt about it. I even think that the moral condemnation of Islam by Catholic scholars does not go far enough:
“….“
(Quoted from main article about Islam in the 1910-Catholic Encyclopedia).
Actually there is NOT “a great deal to admire” in the ethics of Islam. However, what I am saying is that on a deeper ontological level in the sectarian milieu from which an Islamic salvation history was composed, Eros was not made an enemy of religion. Instead Islam united the belief with Eros and took it into the service of religion and made Eros divine.
That is in my opinion the main reason why there is a fundamental positive attitude towards the erotic life and sexual pleasure for its own sake in Islam. I am not saying that women are not repressed, put below men in all respects and exploited by polygamy and in the harem, even quashed socially by the many restrictions put upon her in Islamic tradition. Not at all.
I will not trouble you or the readers by repeating in all the obscene and terrifying details how the interpreters of Christianity from St. Paul and St. Augustine and onwards to modern times separated Eros from the realm of divinity and made sexuality the cardinal point in sin.
I will limit myself to say, that because of this true Christians became consequently those who lived an ascetic life, praised in the revelation of St. John as the 144.000 selected ones who had not defiled themselves with women. The culmination of this conflict being build up through the centuries was of course the classical witch-hunt created by fear of women, the devil and sex. You could call the attack on the female gender a kind a necessary catharsis to ease the tension and fear created over a very long period of time.
Al decent Christians are ashamed of how the Church misused its powers, its crimes against women and humanity, but lucily this resulted in deeper reflections about the relationship between Eros and Agape, and what went wrong:
"both "a.
(Quoted from ”Evangelism Among Europe’s Neo-Pagans" by W. Visser't Hooft)."
If my opponents here had been interested in seeking the truth on the matter they would have inquired about the sources to my claims. In this respect they are just like the Muslim fundamentalist - believing to know the truth about sexuality in Christianity and Islam - so consequently I must be a heretic or an useful idiot for Islam who has been duped.
Actually I am not saying anything new or controversial. Let me quote af few relevant lines from Wikipedias main article on Islamic sexual jurisprudence:
"While prohibitions against extra-marital sexual relationships are strong, sex itself is not a taboo subject. Permissible sexual relationships ...ur'an 2:223 ...
(Hadith): I (charity or gift).".
For further study I recommend reading: "" (1996) by the Christian scholar Barbara Freyer Stowasser.
In the review Sumaiya Hamdani, Ph.D. University of North Carolina says:
Stowasser's book on women in the Qur'an, and the interpretation of Quranic women in subsequent Islamic tradition and literature, is osubject of women in Islam. Unlike most current work on the subject, Stowasser's book is neither an attempt to prove anything about, nor to apologize for, the status of Muslim women. Rather, she provides an insightful analysis of female representation in the preeminent foundational texts of Islam, and she charts its interpretation from the medival to the modern period. While other works on women in Islam have had recoursc to the Qur'an for evidence on various aspects of women's roles in Islamic society, or as a source of binding prescriptions, Stowasser focuses on the imagery or representation of women in the qur'an, and how that representation has historically been understood.
That the Qur'an is primarily an ideological text has been argued before. Stowasser also argues that the Qur'an is primarily an ideological narrative, which, as she shows, presents women, as well as men, not as distinct individuals but as uniform models of either obedience or disobedience to God. In focusing her analysis on the Quranic text itself, she follows Geertz, in approaching the Qur'an as a "symbolic text". ..."
Well, if Muslim women expected to enjoy sex. then they would be disappointed when their husbands had no consideration for their feelings or fulfillment or even health and safety. That is not what Mohammad envisioned when he wrote that women are deficient in intellect and that they are like fields their husbands can plow as the husbands see fit and that husbands can and should abuse and beat their wives if they merely fear disobedience and that husbands shall not be questioned as to why they beat up their wives (it is all in the Qur'an and Sunna for anyone to see). If the Muslim women expected better and were disappointed, then the Muslim men might be made to feel a slight twinge of guilt and responsibility for their abuse of women, and THAT would be un-Islamic.
Ole Hartling wrote:
...Ole, the *only* aspect of Eros that Islam has "made divine" is male sexual aggression—not affection, compassion, or any aspect of female sexuality.
You seem like an intelligent and decent person, but I get *so* tired of your endless moral equivalence.
It was not the Pope or Pat Robertson or Rick Santorum or Pastor Terry Jones who have threatened this woman with death for daring to suggest that married women be allowed to enjoy sex—just pious Muslims.
Love and beauty will win over death.
I don't have time to read every comment--every lengthy comment--you post on other threads. (And I tell you one thing that deters me from doing so, besides the length: Based on previous attempts, it is often not clear to me when you are quoting extensive pasted-in secondary sources and when you are writing your own words...so when I read you, I have no clear sense of who "Ole Hartling" is and what he believes). I responded to what you wrote in this thread. The other statements you are now adding were not in the comment to which I responded in this thread.
I did read your comments in this thread before responding.
I stand by my comment that the overall impression from your comments was that Islam is a religion of relative sexual freedom, as compared to repressed Christianity. If that was not your intention, you had a strange way of expressing yourself!
BTW, I'm not defending Christianity here. The Bible certainly has some problems viz this topic, as does Catholic doctrine.
...and Ole,

I disagree. Islam certainly divided belief and Eros most dramatically by limiting Muslim women to marrying only Muslim men and not allowing them to have sex prior to marriage. In addition, it conflicts with the freedom of Eros--which is an essential component of genuine love--by compelling Muslim women to have sex whenever their husbands want it, even if they (the women) are not in the mood and don't want it.
I'm sorry, my friend, you are showing a tendency of relying too heavily on secondary sources, including biased pro-

Bloomfield issues emergency disaster plan for dam
The Bloomfield Memorial Park Lake’s dam project was further discussed Monday during the Bloomfield City Council meeting, and an emergency disaster plan is in the works.
The Bloomfield Dam has been reported to have erosion around the spillway, according to the Kentucky Division of Water. City Engineer Clint Abbott came up with an estimate of approximately $134,000 in May to repair the damage.
Mayor Chris Dudgeon said the council is still looking for more estimates from contractors to perform the work and fix the erosion.

The media was given full access and guests seen arriving were subjected to friendly reception by security.
The shy bride wore a sleeveless, studded traditional white silk gown and a full-length flowing veil, but gave only the briefest glimpse to onlookers as she arrived at the Christ Church Borrowdale church for a 45-minute service.
After a fleeting wave to the crowds, Praise stepped inside the church as large doors were firmly closed behind her.“giving” his sister away.
It was a magnificent high-end wedding where money has certainly been no object.
It was arguably the best wedding in Zimbabwe this year, one wedding planner told the Daily News, boasting a multiple course meal for thousands of guests, local acts, exceptional lighting, and complete exclusivity at the idyllic Palm Estate in the leafy environs of Helensvale.
The wedding was a rare moment of public glamour for the usually down-to-earth Gono, who wined and dined with the First Family and engaged in banter, celebrating at the private wedding reception that saw the First Lady take to the dance floor.

news is it is a vigorourous eater and has really been scarfing the blueberries and some moistened dog food. So that is promising.
My daughter managed to get it to eat a grub worm this afternoon too, so that is really good.
The one leg that I had to bind, it refuses to move it and the foot is just being held very limpy, the hip joint just kind of flops around, so I tried very hard to bind it up to minimize the flopping of the leg.I could see where the leg joint had gotten broken, but other than binding it up of course I don't know how to set it.At least it tries to hop around on its one good leg though.And boy it can chirp loudly too.So..that's how our day has gone this afternoon.------------We've gone to the birds..LOL
I looked all over for any signs of other baby birds that might have fallen out too but this was the only one.
But we have some wicked mean fire ants around here that would have had a nice lunch had we not intervened, as I saw a few of them up under the tree when we rescued the baby.
Last year we had a baby blue jay fall from the nest and I spied the parents nearby, so I left it where it was... only to go outside a little while later to see it covered in fire ants...the poor thing. I know nature can be cruel, but I honestly did not want to give the ants a chance today.
I looked online for wildlife rehabbers and from what I could tell... the closest wildlife rehabilitator to us is about 40 miles away. So, we will do the best we can to take care of it here.(yes, I have a little experience in these types of things as we rescued quite a number of little birds like this back when I was a teen, and I have done some research also on how to take care of the wee one/if I feel that the little leg needs to be amputated I will find a capable vet in the area/am keeping a close eye on the development with its little leg and so far the color and blood flow look to be good)
the insides of about 2 big juicy blueberries
1 fat grub worm
1 rolly poly bug
and about 2 pieces of moistened dog food
4 rolly poly bugs
and 1 big juicy blueberry innards.
I hope all is still well and that the more "sad but true" lesson does not have to be learned just yet.
You (I was about 9 years old). I ran home shrieking for my father and he removed the blackberry. We then raised "my" robin and I taught him to fly (at least I thought so). Robbie returned every year after that (we liked to think). You are wonderful to try to save this little creature.
? Fierce. The other day I was putting my passion vine in the ground. I moved some things, and stirred up a couple of roaches. A few minutes later I went back over to that area and found one of the roaches wriggling on the ground, covered in fire ants. That quickly they had attacked him.
Nowadays I have CROW wildlife rehabilitation located within 20 miles of me, and I often take them animals. I took them some baby opossums once that had been attacked by fire ants after their mother was hit by a car. Unfortunately they didn't make it. The fire ant poison got the last of them a couple days later.
Good luck with the little guy. I hope it works out okay for him.
There was a lady in town where I grew up , that we would take injured birds to( usually after a storm etc) ...she did the same, much as you did...this particular robin she helped had a broken wing which she splinted and she fed it all summer until it was able to fly. For a couple years, the robin returned to the same nesting area on her porch she had provided it stay that first year, protected from neighborhood cats and harm...and would usually have its own nest near by.

, as an implementation of Bitature’s proposals. On May 20, 1966, four days to the Lubiri attack, a charged Buganda Lukiiko (parliament) passed a George Kaggwa motion ordering the central government to vacate Buganda soil within 10 days.
Commentators say this resolution played into the hands of Milton Obote, who used it as an excuse to attack the palace. (In the coming series, find out why the Katikkiro at the time, Jehoash Mayanja Nkangi, opposed the resolution and how he was defeated). The resolution followed the revocation of the 1962 constitution on February 22, 1966, ending Buganda’s cherished federo and monarchical rule.
“The Uganda constitution of 1962 as amended, gives the Prime Minister power to move in Parliament by way of a resolution to remove the president. This procedure was open to Dr. Obote, why did he not avail himself to that procedure?” the Kabaka, who was then president of Uganda, wrote in his memo to the UN boss.
He added: “It is difficult and in fact almost impossible to expect me or the people of Buganda, and indeed some other parts of the country, to accept the new Constitution. The acceptation of that document would mean the unconditional surrender of our power for which some of us would be prepared to undergo the most gruesome experience.”
The attempt to evict the central government from Buganda in 1966 was, in effect, an attempt at secession. It was not the first time Buganda had tried this course of action. On January 1, 1961, as Uganda prepared for independence, the Lukiiko proclaime make the claimed independence a reality.
Whether Buganda’s leaders believe in the kingdom’s independence from Uganda, or they simply use it as a bargaining chip against the central government is not clear. It is perhaps not clear even to Mengo, the seat of the kingdom, itself. What is clear is that demands for an independent Buganda feature prominently whenever there is a disagreement with the central government.
Recently, separatist demands have been led by Makindye West MP, Hussein Kyanjo. Some senior Mengo officials, including the Deputy Katikkiro, Yusuf Nsubuga Nsambu, support him.
Now that that love is no more, why don’t we secede from Uganda so that we take our different directions?” he told The Observer recently, claiming that he was already looking for money to finance an independent Buganda.
Nsambu had earlier attempted to table a motion calling for Buganda’s independence in the Lukiiko, but it was resisted by some in Mengo saying it would undermine talks between President Museveni and Kabaka Mutebi.
The government has fronted plans to expand Kampala, the country’s capital, to parts of Wakiso, Mpigi and Mukono. Mengo has opposed the plans, seeing them as yet another attempt to weaken the kingdom by depriving it of its lands.
Although Kampala is physically located in Buganda, it is not listed as part of Buganda in the constitution. Any expansion would be at the expense of the districts that are constitutionally recognised as being part of Buganda. Some analysts consider the loss of territory to Bunyoro in 1964 to be the turning point that led to the 1966 crisis.
In his book General Amin (1978), Davin Martin says, for instance, that “writers on Uganda generally paid far too little attention to the ‘lost counties’ referendum as the crucial issue for Obote’s showdown with the Baganda in 1966...”
In the referendum of November 1964, supported by Obote but opposed by Mengo, the counties of Buyaga and Bugangaizi voted to return to Bunyoro. The two countries had been given to Buganda by the British colonialists as a reward for its support in their bid to subdue Bunyoro.
Although the independence constitution provided for a referendum on the “lost counties”, Buganda saw it as an attempt by Obote to weaken the kingdom. Makerere University history professor, Tanga Odoi, agrees, saying that Obote only supported the referendum opportunistically to gain Bunyoro’s support.
“He never did it because he was a constitutional man,” says the historian.
Foreign involvement has also been cited in both the 1966 and 2009 crises. As the 1966 crisis built up, Kabaka Mutesa is alleged to have approached the British High Commission in Kampala, seeking military assistance. Obote also accused Mutesa of seeking help from Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia.
It is not clear whether the Kabaka sought help only to defend himself or move against Obote, or perhaps both. Whatever the truth of the allegations, they, together with the related claim that Mengo had acquired guns to overthrow the government, provided Obote with the ammunition he needed to attack the Kabaka’s palace (Look out for our report on whether there were illegal guns in Lubiri later in these series).
“tion,” he told the nation on September 10. Fingers eventually pointed at Col. Muammar Gadaffi of Libya.
Once Museveni’s ally, the two fell out mainly over their conflicting approaches to the question of a united Africa. Libya has maintained direct relations not only with Buganda, but also other kingdoms, bypassing the central government.
THORNY LUKIIKO
The nature of the Lukiiko has been a constant factor in conflicts between Buganda and the central government since 1953. Recounting events leading to his banishment in his book, Desecration of My Kingdom, Mutesa says the March 1953 increase of directly elected representatives to the Lukiiko to 60 out of the 89 members and three ministers escalated the conflict.
The changes were opposed by the Lukiiko but supported by Mutesa. He wrote: “Not all the Lukiiko welcomed the new members as I did myself…That is not to say that the changes were unimportant. The more respectably democratic the Lukiiko became, the less the Governor could control or ignore it.”

Turning 31 in four days, Blackburn is looking to regain the consistency that made him a valuable pitcher. To make this happen, statistically the easiest thing for him to do would be to locate his command and to bring his walk rates back down. After living on the margins, the last couple of seasons have seen Blackburn's already flimsy peripherals collapse in on themselves. Of course that's the prescription, and not an analysis of his symptoms. What will work for Nick? Finding a way to repeat his desired throwing motion would help his location and would help to give his pitches the movement they need, which would be a start. He's been hurt a bit but nothing serious, and in 2012 a number of tweaks and minor adjustments were noted. None of them apparently worked, and he ended up putting in 36.2 innings with the Red Wings last summer. It'll take a lot for him to not start there this time around. 2013 will be the final season of the extension that he signed prior to the 2011 season, since it's obvious that Minnesota won't be picking up that $8 million option. He'll be making $5.5 million whether he's on the 25-man roster or not this year; not that this is the way he'd prefer to earn that paycheck. If he pitches well, if his mechanics are fluid and consistently repeated, if the confidence is there...Blackburn has an outside chance to make one last good impression. His chances improve if Scott Diamond won't be ready to go on Opening Day. But those are a lot of ifs.

If not, you are counted among the many Americans who do not adhere to or comply with their prescriber's treatment plan.e - A variety of reasons have been documented, including high drug costs, difficult to remember regimens (for example, taking a drug three or four times a day compared to once or twice a day), lack of perceived benefit, side effects, or other reasons. In any case, once a patient has decided not to take a prescribed medication, he/she should discuss it with the prescriber. This is really the only way the prescriber will know what to do next. If not, the prescriber will naturally assume that things are going well.
If your medication causes an adverse or undesirable effect, you may need toAre you taking another person's medication? I ho It is risky because there may be significant differences in weight as well as your kidney, liver or heart function compared to the person from whom you obtained the medicine. And, while this practice may seem okay with some medicines, it may lead to trouble with others.
Are you saving medicine for later? Stopping a medication earlier than intended is a somewhat common practice - especially if the original symptoms have subsided. This practice is also risky. For example, antibiotic prescriptions are intended for specific dosage regimens for a specific number of days because that method was the one used in clinical trials and found to be successful. Using untested, unproven regimens may result in not only a lack of eradication of the original infection but also may lead to more difficult to treat infections in the future.
Soer? If you have, please reconsider this practice. And remember, it's your body, be careful how you treat it.

Q: Change the text layout in a UITextField Below is an image of some UITextFields. Regarding the large one on the bottom, how do I get it to start text at the top left (not the middle), and how do I get them all to start a bit to the right. As you can see, they are awkwardly close to the left edge.
A: For textField, override following methods:
var inset: CGFloat = 10
return bounds.insetBy(dx: inset, dy: 0)
For textView:
textView.contentIn;
And you can be involved when the textView is done editing, check out this question.
A: You can sublcass to a custom TextField:
var inset:CGFloat = 12 // You can set the inset you want
The result, you can see the inset of the CustomTextField:
A: By default, UITextFields only have one line. Based off your image, I'd assume you want the user to have space to type a paragraph. For paragraphs, it is better to use UITextViews. It'd be a simpler solution for your problem.
I always use TextViews for biographies because it just makes my life much easier.
A: add left padding of your textfield
let paddingVie = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y:0, width: 10, height: 10))
yourtextField.leftView = paddingVie
yourtextField.leftViewMode = .always
for textview add
yourTextVieName.textContainerInset =
UIEdgeInsetsMake(8,5,8,5); // top, left, bottom, right

"The implications of this dietary shift may be profound," write Kyle S. Van Houtan and his colleagues. That's because the invasive algae store up, or "sequester," nitrogen in their tissues, specifically in the amino acid arginine. And arginine, it turns out, "is specifically important for herpesviruses which are linked to FP tumors." In particular, previous studies have found that the amino acid promotes eye-related tumors. "This is particularly relevant," the authors note, "as 93% of Hawaiian green turtles with FP have ocular tumors."

Portuguese Studies?
Academic Discourse in Portugal: A Whole Different Ballgame?
Despite the existence of many contrastive studies that have drawn attention to academic discourse practices in other... more cultures, the formal constitution of the discipline known as Contrastive Rhetoric may ultimately have served to reinforce the hegemony of English Academic Discourse (EAD). That is to say, by focusing upon the technical question of how to reduce L1 interference in learners' English texts, teachers and researchers are actively discouraged from considering the broader ideological issue of how knowledge is construed elsewhere.
Yet other ‘academic discourses’ do exist, sometimes so different from EAD in their structure and epistemological framework that they are scarcely recognisable as such to English-speaking practitioneracademic discourse in Portugal, in which a Corpus of 1,333,890 words (408 academic texts of different genres and disciplines) was analysed for the presence of particular discourse features not usually found in EAD. Results suggest that, in addition to a ‘modern’ style calqued upon the hegemonic discourse, there are also at least two other academic discourses regularly produced in Portugal today that are based upon an entirely different epistemology to the rational empirical paradigm underlying EAD..
Critical and Corpus Approaches to English Academic Text Revision: A Case Study of Articles by Portuguese Humanities Scholars
Co-authored with John McKenny. English Text Construction, 2.2. 2009. 228-245

Polishing Papers for Publication: Palimpsests or Procrustean Beds?
Co-authored with John McKenny.

The aim was to examine the hypothesis that not only lexical and syntactic features, but also phraseological and discourse features of L1 may be transferred into the Portuguese researchers’ L2 writing, thereby undermining the “naturalness” of the writing and raising an (invisible?) obstacle to international publication. The corpus (Portac), which consisted of some 113,000 running words of English academic prose, was created from texts that had been presented to the language consultant for revision prior to submission for publication. After correction of superficial grammatical and spelling errors, it was tagged for Part of Speech (CLAWS7) and semantic field (USAS) using WMatrix2 (Rayson 2003), and interrogated for the presence of certain discourse features using Wmatrix2 and Wordsmith Tools (Scott 1999). The findings were then compared with those of a control corpus (Controlit) of published articles written by L1 academics in a similar field. The results reveal significant overuse of certain features by Portuguese academics, and a corresponding underuse of others, suggesting a marked disparity in the value attributed to those features by the two cultures. This, it is suggested, may be due to differences in epistemological outlook, which raises issues of both a practical and an ideological nature for the language reviser...
“Processing Australia in Portuguese Narratives of East Timor”
In Itinerâncias. Percursos e Representações da Pós-colonialidade / Journeys: Postcolonial Trajectories and Representations. Eds Elena Brugioni, Joana Passos, Andreia Sarabando, & Marie-Manuelle Silva. Famalicão: Húmus, 2012: 121-138. ISBN 978-989-8549-10-5
Australia features large and often in Portuguese non-fiction dealing with East Timor. In general, as might be... more expected, Australia is perceived extremely negatively as the obstructor of decolonisation and facilitator of Indonesian oppression, seen in the Portuguese media, and in official Portuguese discourse, as a hypocritical lackey of the hypocritical U.S. This article will examine some of the relatively few fictional narratives in Portuguese that deal with East Timor for the ways in which they construct Australia and the aspects of the issues they concentrate on, in part to determine how the emphases visible in non-fictional sources have been developed or not within the resources of fiction..

Repensar Portugal - Diálogos sobre Identidade e Atraso
in "International Studies on Law and Education", n.º 9, 2011, pp. 5-12.
Self-knowledge is an exercise that countries in crisis situations use to cherish. It is not clear, moreover, that... more crisis is not something permanent, apart from rare golden ages. Portuguese people has a long history of thinking about themselves. But not always have escaped from some idealization of what they are the what and their role should be. After the classical visions of Antero de Quental and Teixeira de Pascoaes, for example, and the "mythical psychoanalysis of Portuguese fate" due to Eduardo Louren- ço, the sociologist Fernando Pereira Marques takes a lucid and unclouded look over what the Portuguese have been. Specially reflecting upon the causes of the proverbial national "underdevelopment".

Fermento da República, bolor do Império: Civilização Ibérica, Excepcionalismo, e o legado luso-brasileiro do Lusotropicalismo
This essay highlights the persistence of lusotropical tropes in the political, cultural, and academic discourses on... more the multi-racial legacy of Portuguese colonialism and offers a quick discussion of recently-held critical stances by key scholars as a point of departure. It proposes to carry out the heuristic task of revisiting lusotropicalism’s conceptual genealogy, in order to capture some paradigmatic traits of its specific mode of writing and to dsuch discursive field emerges. This essay is offered as a preliminary and indirect contribution to the debate about the status of postcolonial studies in the “time-space of the Portuguese language.” With this goal in mind, I conduct a reading of a forgotten text by Oliveira Martins in which we can find the rudiments of what we tentatively call a grammar of lusotropicalism. I also offer for analysis a set of texts signed by Oliveira Lima, in which we find a set of assertions (on the issues of miscegenation and race in Portuguese and Brazilian colonial history) permeated by tropes that were already found in Oliveira Martins; these assertions anticipate by more than a decade some formulations key to Gilberto Freyre’s work in Casa Grande e Senzala. Keywords: lusotropicalism; exceptionalism; Iberian civilization; miscegenation; postcolonialism; race; Oliveira Martins; Oliveira Lima

While nature determined the color and clarity of a natural diamond, Man is responsible for the cut quality which brings it to life.
The planning, proportions, cutting precision and details of finish determine how brilliant, dispersive and scintillating the diamond will be. If the cutting factors under man's control are not optimized, the appearance of the diamond can be adversely affected.
Diamond faceting has changed over time, particularly as lighting has evolved. There are many shapes and cutting styles, each with different visual properties. The most popular diamond in the age of modern electric lighting is the Round Brilliant.
When a ray of light touches the surface, part of it is reflected back. This is external refraction.
1. The rest of the ray penetrates the stone and moves through it. This is known as refraction
2. The part of the ray reflected back to the surface exits, broken into spectral colors in a prism-like effect. This is known as dispersion.
3. All of these elements contribute to the appearance of a diamond.
Most diamonds are used in jewelry vary in shade from completely colorless down to a visible yellow or brown tint. The rarest and most expensive are diamonds in the colorless range graded D,E and F on a scale that descends to Z. Diamonds with more color than Z, or in other shades such as orange, pink, blue, etc. are classified as "Fancy Colored Diamonds" and are graded on the GIA and other laboratories Colored Diamond Report.
To determine the correct color, all submitted diamonds are compared to an internationally accepted master set of stones, the colors of which range from D, or colorless to Z, the most yellow/brown - aside from "fancy" yellow or brown.
GIA and other laboratories assign a color grade for diamonds in the D-Z range with the diamond face down and viewed through the pavilion. This is because size, shape, cut quality and the presence of fluorescence can influence visible face-up color. In fact, lighting, mounting choice and even the clothes one wears has an impact on color, so GIA and other laboratories uses the most neutral environment possible to ensure accurate and consistent results.
The weight or size of a diamond is measured in carats (ct.).One carat weighs 1/5 of a gram and is divided into 100 points, so a diamond weighing 1.07carat is referred to as "one carat and seven points."
With an accuracy of 1/100,000 carat, the GIA and other laboratories scales provide a highly precise diamond weight, down to the hundredth or thousandth of a carat.It is important to note that diamonds of the same weight don't necessarily have the same size appearance. Those cut too shallow or deep may look small for their weight, or suffer in brilliance. As a reference, GIA and other laboratories recommends the following vertical spreads for round brilliant diamonds. When diamonds are mined, large gems are discovered much less frequently than small ones, which make large diamonds much more valuable. Diamond prices rise exponentially with carat weight. So, a 2-carat diamond of a given quality is always worth more than two 1-carat diamonds of the same quality

This first weekend of January sees Oddbins thank mothers who have spent Christmas being "run ragged by the family; shopping, cooking, wrapping, cleaning, transporting and planning."
Proof of identity is accepted in various forms, including: "toys in the handbag, baby sick on your shoulder, a bag of new school uniforms, a post on Mumsnet, a grumpy teenager in the back of the car or a menacing letter from the government."
From 11-13 January, the discount will be opened to bankers and journalists. Calling on the public to give these two groups a break after their crisis and scandal-ridden 2012, Oddbins suggested: "Maybe the more love the UK gives the press and bankers, the more they will give back."
The following weekend not only seeks to recognised Germany's "work ethic and technological superiority", but also its production of "the world's most underrated wines". Those without official identity documentation "may be asked to answer a few questions to prove your Teutonic descent."

Believe it or not, sometimes the simple things will help have the customer have a positive experience in your store, and this can start with greeting your customer. Make sure you smile, make eye contact, and ask them how they are doing. The greeting alone can open the door for them to tell you what they’re looking for or ask you the location where a specific item is.
When you are serving customers, they do not always know exactly what they want. When you are helping someone to discover their needs, take the opportunity to throw in suggestions to sell a related product. Also do this for when you do not stock the actual item that the customer desires. This skill takes considerable time to master since you do not want to appear as being overly aggressive or pushy. An example for a shoe store might be that a customer found a pair of shoes that she likes but she wears an adult size 7.5. In this situation, it may be best to walk her to the kid’s section where you have those same style shoes but kid’s size 6, which you have in stock. There are times like this where the customers may not realize that kid’s shoes sometimes run 1.5 sizes smaller than adult shoes.
Every human enjoys being acknowledged. If you have a regular customer, get to know their name. Being able to greet a customer by name enhances the chance of creating a positive experience on their part. This makes the customer feel valued, increasing the chances significantly of them returning regularly to continue doing business. Let’s say you run a pool supply store. Understanding how the customer uses their pool may be mutually beneficial. The customer may have their daughter’s birthday pool party coming up and you can show them the cool giraffe pool float that is gigantic you just got in stock. The customer might have been just going in to make sure the pool will be blue for the party, but now, with your help acknowledging the customer, the pool party is going to be a big hit and one of the other parents at that party is going to come into your store because their kid loved the pool float as well. This helps to ensure the customer becomes a repeat customer.
If you are serving a customer that is unfamiliar with your services or the layout of your building, assist them in what way you can. If you are able to leave your post to show the customer to where they want to go, it relieves stress and builds a positive experience. It is much easier to walk with the customer in a flower shop to the long stemmed yellow roses than it is for them to possibly struggle to find the item they are looking for. Sometimes, there is just nothing you can do to satisfy a customer but if you show real effort; the customer will remember it as being positive overall.
Despite your best efforts to please customers, there will be times when a customer will become aggravated. In most cases, if you just remain quiet and let your customer rant, they will be much easier to communicate with after they calm down. Most people just want their frustrations heard, at the very least. If your customer becomes verbally abusive, advise them that you will not be able to serve them until they calm down so that you can communicate on a professional level. If little else is working, call your supervisor since they should have more training and experience and help turn your customer’s frowns upside down when they are becoming more hostile.
Always thank your customer after having completed a service. This allows the customer to have closure for any transactions that have taken place. It allows for the customer to feel valuedo applying these simple tactics to your customer service routine will not only create more positive experiences for those you servefor a better working experience.

at the end of 2009. On the day he lost the leadership, Rees told astonished members of the parliamentary press gallery: ""
However, NSW Labor Party president Michael Lee is not, at this stage, calling for any "root and branch" reform of the state ALP. Speaking carefully, he says the reasons for Labor's catastrophic defeat will be discussed at the state ALP conference in June and "I am keen for that to be a forum for as many people as possible to discuss the lessons to be learned from our defeat."
. You'd expect that, in the scheme of things, the Labor vote will bounce back by 10 per cent quite quickly." Further, if the new government sacks thousands of public sector employees, "you'd expect even [a bigger bounce] than that".But what policies should a humbled NSW Labor Party adopt?
Then Carr's conversation takes an unusual turn. In a state notorious for political vitriol, and the night after a gracious victory speech by O'Farrell and a dignified concession speech by retiring Labor leader Keneally, Carr says, "Congratulations to Barry O'Farrell and his front bench, some of whom have been slaving away for more than 10 years. They have now got a chance to prove themselves and be part of a strong government that should be able to do things better. The electorate is always the master and it's always right."

Our club's humble beginnings can be traced back to 1963 when fishing pioneers Jimmy de Pradines, Corrie Cornelis, Eddy Duffy, Jopes van Rooyen and Hugh Abercrombie started what was initially only a fresh water fishing club back in the day. As the members purchased boats, the club expanded its facets to include deep sea angling and so the club developed over the years into what is the largest in the province of Mpumalanga today. Read more...
As a deep sea angling fraternity the NDAC (Nelspruit District Angling Club) is closely associated with the MDSAA (Mpumalanga Deep Sea Angling Association), with a number of its members on the MDSAA committee. We are proud to say that the NDAC has produced a number of Springbok/Protea anglers over the years...home grown from our very own club here in Nelspruit!
The club offers two organised deep sea angling competitions in Mozambique annually, namely the Inhaca Challenge and the Onderberg Species Invitational Bonanza. The NDAC has gone from strenght to strenght over the years and we would like to encourage you to join our club today...
Any paid up member of the NDAC is eligible for the "Angler of the Month" award which is a R200 gift voucher sponsored by Solly's Anglers Corner Nelspruit...

Comment | Print | Late Bucs TD drive beats Dolphins
Rudy Carpenter (263483)
TAMPA, Fla. (AP)The fourth-year pr Talib's trial is set for March 2012, and the NFL
````With the exception of a couple of early third-down completions and a short throw to LeGarrette Blount that the second-year running back turned into a 52-yard gain to set up a field goal, Freeman had little to show. Then he guided a six-play, 54-yard touchdown drive that made it 10-10 just before halftime.
The third-year quarterback set up Earnest Graham's 2-yard TD run with a 15-yard completion to his fullback and a 17-yard scramble to the Miami 2.
Freeman finished 12 of 23 for 149 yards and has not turned over the ball this preseason. He did have two potential interceptions dropped and had one pick nullified by a penalty.
Marshall made the catch inside the Tampa Bay 35, managed to stay in bounds before cutting back toward the middle past safety Cody Grimm. He and stiff-armed linebacker Quincy Black to remain on his feet and get into the end zone for a 7-0 lead.

With the global pandemic, the globe has returned to normalcy, and the airline industry has adjusted its operations. Due to the epidemic, scores of planes were forced to land, causing major disruptions to both domestic and international flights. The world’s biggest airlines, on the other hand, are gradually continuing to fly vaccinated passengers. Returning to air travel in some locations, AirlineRatings.com has produced its yearly list of the world’s top airlines to assist travelers in deciding which commercial airline to fly to their paradise.
The Perth, Australia-based Aviation Safety & Product Evaluation website analyzes various main aspects. It gives Airline Excellence awards, such as operative protection, traveler reviews, turnover, investment valuation, fleet age, and long-term product offerings, to produce the best airline list. Haul flights and seating arrangement, comfort level, among many others. This year it also incorporated COVID-19 safety measures from the airlines.

As In addition, you don't have to sleep on the thick, harsh ground and sacrifice your beauty sleep.
Camp mattresses can be of different types such as self-inflating mattresses, air mattresses or closed-foam mattresses. Before you pick a mattress, you need to consider the season that it will be used in and the location you will be using it in, whether it is a sandy beach, hard terrain or thick grass. Each mattress type is ideal for a particular ground type.
Once after, you need to figure out the shape and size that will be ideal for your camp layout. Most mattresses are rectangular shaped, but if your camp setup requires another shape that needs to be factored in. The same applies when it comes to determining size. Here what is crucial is not just the camp setup, but also portability. If you have to carry around your mattress in a backpack, don't pack something extremely thick and large.
Normally, foam mattresses are more light smoother terrains. As they don't offer much thickness, they may not be the most comfortable option. They are however the cheapest. There are a few varieties that come with an additional insulation layer to provide more comfort, at a higher cost and weight however. The Thermarest Z-Liteis one of the best such products and is available in amazon stores.
Air mattresses are probably the most commonly used ones. They are inflatable, with a pump or with your mouth. They are suitable for winter conditions and are thicker than foam. They can be lightweight and portable as well. The Quechua air basic 70 1-person inflatable mattress is a great product and is available in Decathlon stores in the UK.
Ensure that you factor in all criteria that we have mentioned here, such as shape, size, durability and application, before going shopping.
Most of these benefits are simple and rudimentary ones that we often don't realize in our daily lives. The reason being that the restriction of time and a packed schedule often causes us to make basic decisions that are seemingly irrational and have a negative impact on our health. Let us see how camping can rectify some of those effects.
Health involves three aspects – physical, mental and spiritual. Mental health is a vital cog in our lives, and can easily be affected adversely due to mood fluctuations. All of us experience mood fluctuations and they can dampen a whole day's worth of achievement. Camping enables you to relax your senses and stabilize mood.
The primary reason why most of us don't get the optimum amount of sleep is the constant presence of distractions. Even on a seemingly less busy day, we have distractions such as our phones, computers and televisions. When you are ut camping, you mostly don't have those distractions nearby. Even your phone is not active in places where telecommunication range is minimal. This enable a proper and fulfilling sleep.
Probably a good thing that you don't have a McDonalds or a KFC next to you when you go camping. Fast food is not an option anymore. When you are outdoors, your food options are restricted to more natural ones – fresh fruits, plants and unprocessed meat. If you are camping next to freshwater sources, you get to drink fresh waterwe can imagine. It brings people together and creates bonding. Even in today's world which moves extremely fast, where people have very little time to spare, a quick time-off from day-to-day activities and chores can be relaxing indeed.
In a world increasing dominated by technology and materialistic priorities, spending some time with mother nature can help reboot your system. It is surprising that nature used to be such a big component of humanity centuries ago, and yet it seems to play the role of a second fiddle. Breathing in the fresh air and relieving your stress is something all of us aspire.

Weekly Portion: Shemini (Leviticus 9-11)
Moses saw Elazar and Ithamar, Aaron’hatake.
However, Moses knew that truth should never be compromised. He was obligated to speak the truth. Whatever consequences might flow from that was not his responsibility. Speaking falsehood cannot be justified. His responsibility was to adhere to the truth. The authenticity of Torah throughout eternity was G-d’s responsibility, not his (Sichos Mussar 5731:1).
The truth of Torah is evidenced by Moses’ refusal to deviate from truth, regardless of the consequences. We should follow his example.

It went a little something like this (I feel like I should have a drum roll or at least back up music playing...
Not only do I rock my favorite Banana Republic "skinny" jeans, they are now my comfy baggy jeans!
The running thing is a big one for me. When I bought our jogging stroller in 2013 I laughed. I never dreamed that I'd run again, let alone pushing a jogger. But here I am - most every weekend - and as long as Ivy will let me!
This weekend I was thrilled to take XJL on her first trail ride and to ride with her!Riding is something that always reminds me of my youth and it also takes some effort for me to feel confident and capable on horseback. I can even report that other than my knees hurting immediately on dismount, I wasn't even sore!Apparently my legs, core and back muscles are able to handle riding without a problem!(I have NO idea what I am doing with my hands in this photo - judge not!
I look forward to attempting and photographing this one, Hubs?Should I start the planning?
January 19th. Resolutions are on the brink. The expanse of the calendar seems daunting. The stomach is rumbling. I missed my diet meeting and personal training session on Friday....
I'm managing. How are you holding up?
It's time to buckle down. No more Mrs. Nice Girl. Time to get seriously serious about what I've actually verbalized as my next goal weight - 165lbs. It's just a number, but let's wrap it in some sobering context, shall we?
165 is a number that I cannot remember ever seeing on a scale. I am sure that at some point in high school I clocked in at 165. I am sure there was a day in my sophomore year, as I hit my peak of swimming long distance freestyle that my body was lean and the scale read 165. I was unaware of it - and frankly, at that time, it wouldn't have been an achievement in our locker room. I was always a big girl - "broad", "chubby", "thick", "plus" or as the more nuanced websites "fluffy". I"m sorry, how is fluffy ever a word used to describe a woman?I mean, seriously.............fluffy?How about "Rubenesque"?
165 might be a size 8. I don't even know!
I'll do it. I"ll do it cause I have said that I will. That's usually how I roll. But one thing I"ll have to get serious about is not letting a roll touch my lips. I've got to cut out the "bites" - the noshing of snacks, the rationalization of deserving it, the extra 300 calories here or there. I've been at 180 for 3 months. No more wine. No more wine. No more wine. No more whine!
It's time to shake the snow globe. I'm too comfortable. Are you?
Where have we been?Where are we going?For me, the new year brings an insatiable urge to clean house. To get myself in order. To take back some control. It is such a drastic contrast with December's warm homey festivity. January seems cold and stark. No comfy cozy fleece blanket here. There are super awesome things to do, like drink protein shakes and organize for taxes...
The New Year offers so much hope. Decadent Christmas is behind us and the toasts of New Years Eve bubbly are just memories now....We start to feel all powerful. Ready to conquer. Ready to climb. January offers the seduction of time - resetting the clock. Transformation allures us - this will be the year all my dreams will come true......all the memes on Facebook say it's the start of a new book...a new chapter...a blank page...write a good one. Have you seen it?
I get it. Wrapped up with a bow, January is just preying on our desire for more. Get what you didn't - do what you haven't. Oh, January. You two faced ....
But maybe this isn't a beginning. Maybe you don't want to wipe the slate clean of 2015 but you want to marinate in what you've learned.. practice...do more...do less...refine. build...grow....mold. Maybe this January isn't new. Maybe it's just, well, January. Another month to try to do better.In 2015, many events changed the course of who I am as a wife, a mother, a person. Most of them have been good things. I've grown and I've remained the same. I've gotten back to basics. You could even say I've dialed in. So, 2016....my goals are largely unchanged from 2015- at least, the resolution-y type goals...
But those big inexpressible spiritual resolutions?What about those?
I am captivated by the idea of being pure in heart. I so desire to hear and see God. We've often been talking about the different of happiness and joy in our household. These ideas are swimming around in my head. I don't know what they have to do with my journey in 2016 but I suspect, in the way that grace, gratitude, gathering, have been themes in prior years...
I wish I could tell you that I know what all this means. I don't know yet. While I live it joy in 2016 is a good way to start!

In order to persist, sperm-dependent asexuals must be ecologically divergent and/or more sperm-limited compared to their sexually reproducing hosts.
It’s easy to be fascinated by sperm-dependent asexual species – they’re one of those oddities of natural history that, collectively, are the reason many of us became students of biology. These all-female “Amazons” require a male (or just their sperm) of a sexually reproducing host species to provide the trigger for egg development and reproduction, but, in most cases, discard the male’s genome.

This picture of a kitten is just here to be soothing.
Well, it has been a couple of weeks. A lot of things have happened, words said and actions taken. As we can never go back to the time before this, this is now our reality. A big damn line was drawn in the sand (or dirt, Pennsylvania actually has that) and sides have been taken. Here we are.
The issues of bigotry, racism, intolerance, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia (and dozens more distasteful isms and phobias) have now been addressed in public, as they relate to persons in the SCA. It's been rough, it's been ugly at times. It's been eruidite. It's been inspiring. It's been a galvanizing time. It has also sorted most of the SCA out into a few distinctly defined groups.
Group One: It's 2018 and this is not ok. We don't want this in our club and won't tolerate it. We will fight, and we will take a stand. Yes, we are generally quiet nerds but right now we are mongooses (mongeese?) and want to eat some cobra faces. Cobra faces are delicious.
My message: Go, Fight, win- but do it with honor and keep a civil tongue in your head. Stay on the high road or you become that which you protest. Go, you crazy mongeese and #IStandWithDavius beautiful people.
The day Trimaris got MoDs.
would all stop shouting. Sure, it would be nice if those things went away- but that's hard and we'd like to get back to medievaling please. Perhaps we'll write a letter later. We can deal with this quietly.
My message: Look around at what is happening. Do you want more people to medieval with? Then make this a better place for them to be, a place where they are comfortable and welcome. It's time to do the thing. Start writing that letter and actually finish it. Mail it. Then go paint some awesome silk or something.
Group Three: Oh dear, not in front of the children and new people! We don't want them to see all this strife. This should happen quietly and behind closed doors. Just take this back behind the tents and don't let anyone see!
My message: They already see it is happening. They are very smart. How about we wrap this up and show them a resolution so they can know what kind of club we'd like them to join. Show them what you are willing to do to make this club a place they can be proud of. Sometimes airing the dirty laundry means people get to see you ditching it into the dumpster. That's not exactly a bad thing, because now your laundry is clean or it is gone.
Group Four: This does not effect us and we don't care. We have a tourney to fight and you are in the way on our field. Scram.
My message: Ah, thanks for being most of the problem and not caring about the society around you. Society. Once again, Society. If you want to come and fight and drink and feast you need to pitch in now and again and support the society that makes those events happen. Now would be a grand time.
My message: Allow me to show you the door to 1938. It's right this way. I think you will be very happy there and no, of course I'll not be coming along. You don't like me, after all.
I think that covers the major reactions I have seen, and the words I have desperately wanted to say to them.
Unfortunately, these issues have blown up in the most public venue of the SCA: Pennsic War. Or, perhaps, PennsiCon because so little of it is really like an actual SCA event. Over 10,000 people are there while these events unfold.
So here we are, the SCA is buzzing with actual discussion that was sparked by these events. Everyone in a single place. Events unfolding and then passing by word of mouth and by social media. People reacting, sometimes very far away and those reactions being heard back at the point of origin of this particular ground zero.
We have a King, a Candidate, and Dissident and with just these three people, and those close to them, this entire issue has been encapsulated, but in an incredibly public way. Everyone has an opinion, is galvanized, and we are all waiting on the edge of a precipice as letters are penned and screen shots are taken. We are caught between increasingly public enemies at an enormous war and we are all waiting for the shoe to drop. And now they are coming home from the wars, back to the fields of their own Kingdoms and they are carrying this story with them. Then, there will be no way to rake the leaves back into a neat pile.
Can we go ahead and deal with this, now? Please? It's time, SCA. Action. Honor. Society. Let's be the things we claim we are. Be the dream, not the nightmare.
A very succinct summing up of the situation. I belong to the first group. Thank you.
""
No, no, really not. It is believing that being different makes you worth less or have no right to exist. Being rude does not turn me into a racist.

|**Backbreaker powder**|
|**Type**|Poison|
For the [[Epic\|Epic]], see [[Backbreaker\|Backbreaker]].
**Backbreaker powder** is a very strong poison usedBackbreaker powder is a very lethal tasteless, white powder. There is an antidote for backbreaker powder that is capable of counteracting all the poison's effects. A large amount of backbreaker powder is capable of killing the person that ingests it in mere seconds unless the antidote is taken.
When dusted over bread, backbreaker powder can be disguised as flour.
In 1173, [[Ardent\|Ardent]] [[Kabsal\|Kabsal]], a member of the [[Ghostblood\|Ghostbloods]], tried to assassinate Princess [[<NAME>\|J<NAME>]] with backbreaker powder. He sprinkled it over bread like flour, and put the antidote in the jam, which Jasnah dislikes. For months, he failed to persuade her to ever try the bread. However, after Brightlady [[Shallan Davar\|Shallan Davar]] was hospitalized following her first Soulcasting, Shallan convinced Jasnah to try the poisoned bread.
However, Jasnah was able to avoid ingesting the poison by [[Soulcasting\|Soulcasting]] the bread as she consumed it. She also Soulcast the jam as well, as an extra precaution, unaware that the antidote was in the jam. Kabsal's plan went awry, and instead of Jasnah, he and [[<NAME>\|Shallan Davar]] were poisoned, while the antidote in the jam had inadvertently been Soulcast away. Jasnah saved Shallan by Soulcasting her blood to remove the poison, but Kabsal died.

description: Résumé du livre blanc sur la sécurité des conteneurs dans Microsoft Azure.
ms.locfileid: "43842850"Sécurité des conteneurs dans Microsoft Azure
La technologie de conteneur a engendré des changements structurels dans le monde du cloud computing. Les conteneurs permettent d’exécuter plusieurs instances d’une application sur une instance unique d’un système d’exploitation, améliorant ainsi l’utilisation des ressources. Les conteneurs offrent de la flexibilité et de la cohérence aux organisations. Ils permettent un déploiement continu, car l’application peut être développée sur un ordinateur de bureau, testée sur une machine virtuelle, puis déployée pour la production dans le cloud. Les conteneurs offrent une souplesse, une rationalisation des opérations, une scalabilité et une réduction des coûts grâce à l’optimisation des ressources.
La technologie de conteneur étant relativement nouvelle, de nombreux professionnels de l’informatique ont quelques inquiétudes relatives à la sécurité, sur le manque de visibilité et l’utilisation dans un environnement de production. Les équipes de développement n’ont souvent pas connaissance des bonnes pratiques de sécurité. Ce livre blanc peut aider les équipes chargées des opérations de sécurité et les développeurs à sélectionner des approches permettant de sécuriser le développement et le déploiement de conteneurs sur la plateforme Microsoft Azure.
Il décrit les conteneurs, le déploiement et la gestion des conteneurs, ainsi que les services de plateforme natifs. Il décrit également les problèmes de sécurité d’exécution qui se posent lors de l’utilisation de conteneurs sur la plateforme Azure. Dans les figures et les exemples, ce document utilise Docker comme modèle de conteneur et Kubernetes comme orchestrateur de conteneurs. La plupart des recommandations de sécurité s’appliquent également aux autres modèles de conteneurs fournis par les partenaires de Microsoft sur la plateforme Azure.

The new long-term assumption for net migration to the UK is +200,000 each year compared with +180,000 a year in the 2008-based projections. Figure 5.1 compares the future net migration assumptions with historical international migration estimates back to 19913 and also includes the assumptions made for the previous 2008-based projections. It is based on mid-year to mid-year, rather than calendar year figures, so the latest ‘actual’ data point shown is the estimated total net inflow to the UK of 227,000 between mid-2009 and mid-2010.
ONS uses the United Nations recommendation for defining an international long-term migrant. Th
Migration figures are derived from several sources.4 The principal source is the International Passenger Survey (IPS) which became operational in 1964. The IPS provides estimates based on respondents’ intended length of stay in the UK or abroad. Therefore, some statistical adjustments are made for people who change their intentions – ‘visitor switchers’ and ‘migrant switchers’.
Visitor switchers are people who enter or leave the UK for a short visit (that is, less than 12 months) but end up migrating for more than a year. These people are visitors who subsequently become migrants and therefore need to be added to the migration estimates.
Migrant switchers are people who state in the IPS that their intention is to remain in their destination country for more than a year (and are therefore classed as migrants) but who actually leave, or return to, the UK within one year, so are actually visitors. They need to be removed from IPS migrant flows. This is effectively the converse situation to visitor switchers.
The IPS excludes most, but not all, persons seeking asylum and some dependants of such asylum seekers. Therefore, an adjustment for those not covered by the IPS is necessary. Data on asylum seekers and their dependants (based on the number of people applying for asylum) obtained from the Home Office, are used to estimate the number of migrants arriving or leaving the UK.
Since the last projections round, the Migration Statistics Unit (MSU) at ONS has made two adjustments in the methodology to produce long-term international migration estimates.5 They relate to Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland:
From 2008, the ONS migration estimates no longer use IPS data for Northern Ireland and instead userefore, in making the long-term assumptions, IPS international UK gross flows are allocated to all the constituent countries but the allocations to Northern Ireland are not used. Any difference between the allocations to Northern Ireland and the NISRA derived assumptions In addition - since NISRA incorporates visitor and migrant switchers, asylum seekers and Republic of Ireland flows in their data - the adjustments/ assumptions for these components are at Great Britain (GB) level for the 2010-based t

Shoppers ‘could be driven away’ by parking problem in town
PUBLISHED: 08:23 16 November 2017 | UPDATED: 08:23 16 November 2017
Visitors to Huntingdon are experiencing difficulties parking. Pictures: CONTRIBUTED.
Shoppers and traders in Huntingdon are losing out because of problems with accessing a key town centre car park, it has been claimed.
There have been calls for improved signage at the Sainsbury’s car park from both the public and a businessman at the adjacent Chequers Court shopping area who say shoppers are being driven away by congestion.
John Leaden, 77, from Euston Street, was so surprised to see traffic queuing on the ring road to get in to the car park on Saturday whilst the top floor of the multi-storey was empty, that he took photographs of it.
Mr Leaden said: “I think it is absolutely disgraceful. It has been put up a great expense and people are just not using it.
“I personally think there should be better signage, possibly illuminated signs showing how many spaces are left. People are going to avoid Huntingdon like the plague.”
Mr Leaden said confusion in the car park would also have an impact on businesses planning to move in to the town centre.
“Another thing that causes me concern is that we have got people coming from out of town considering setting up shop in the town and when they see the traffic they are going to think twice,” he said.
Rod Galbraith, of Chequers Shoes, in Chequers Court, welcomed the opening of new shops in the town centre, but said the development was acting as a barrier, discouraging shoppers from continuing through to the rest of the town centre which affected small businesses there.
“Traffic management in the car park is simply not good enough,” he said. “What we have seen on the last three Saturdays is the number of people coming through has dropped off the face of a cliff.”
Mr Galbraith called for better signs highlighting where spaces were available and directing shoppers in to the rest of the town centre.
He said the present pay on arrival barriers should be replaced by a pay on exit scheme so shoppers would stay in town for longer without having to worry about their ticket running out.
Mr Galbraith called for Huntingdonshire District Council to use spare pockets of land in the town centre for parking.
There have already been complaints about delays on the ring road and in finding a parking space, with some shoppers saying they have gone elsewhere.
Huntingdonshire District Council is carrying out a major review of parking across the district.
Cllr id the council had no control over traffic on the ring road but was working with other agencies involved, looking at issues such as peak flow rates and sequencing of the traffic lights.
But he said police had not reported any issues.

Moving from Costa Rica to Toronto meant that I was forced to adjust to the sheer environmental change between the two. Despite expecting this shock when I enrolled in university, I’m still dumbfounded at how much I miss seeing nature — the fat squirrels around campus do not count, and neither do the pigeons. I went from a bedroom view of the mountains surrounding the city of San José to a dorm view of a single, barren tree. The cold weather and accompanying ice and snow has further confined me to my dorm in recent months. When asked how I coped with these extreme changes to my surroundings, my advice was, and continues to be, three-fold.
First, I stay busy. It can be hard to find things to do when going outside feels like a cold slap to the face, so I decided to find ways to stay busy inside: invite friends over, learn how to cook, buy a colouring book, or read. I know these mundane actions don’t seem exciting, but they are the best way to enjoy the indoor confinement.
Second, take vitamins. I never really thought vitamin deficiency from staying indoors was a thing, or that the lack of sun would cause such an impact on my mental health, but vitamins help your body make up what it’s losing by staying inside. Since I am not a doctor, I recommend contacting one and finding out what vitamins will help you, or if you personally need them at all.
Third, join a club, get a job, or get a new hobby that is not limited by the weather. Personally, what has been helping me get through the winter was beginning free dance classes in university. With such a diverse group of people confined to this small area of the city, there are so many clubs and activities to take part in. On the other hand, if your intent is to use the winter to save money, check out U of T’s Career Learning Network online or create an account on LinkedIn and apply away!
The winter time has a way of making me feel more tired, lazy, and honestly, like a disappointment because of the first two characteristics. I’m the kind of person who is always keeping busy because working hard provides a safe outlet, but the winter makes me not want to work at all.
Despite my three-fold, aforementioned advice, there is one more tip that I have when dealing with seasonal depression and just the overall sad feeling that comes with any kind of change. Be kind to yourself — something that is easier said than done. Be patient with your body, and don’t push yourself if that’s not what you want to do.
If you want to work hard and get things done, then being sympathetic to yourself helps give your mind and body motivation to keep going. Being surrounded by good company does not only mean being around people who you feel comfortable with, but being able to find that feeling in yourself, and not defining moments alone as being lonely.
To be able to get past the common feeling of isolationre drops, beinghave fun by yourself always help, since sadly we can not always be accompanied by those we love the most.
Like all other things, winter does not last forever.

When a lot of people think of HVAC equipment, they just worry about how well their air conditioning system operates. So while heating so ventilation are, of course, a major part of the market, a strong business has far other problems than ensuring you’re safe in the summer. The essential feature of such a company is to look at the consistency of the indoor climate. It means you are not slowly poisoning yourself with toxins and other features of poor quality that may make your home an uncomfortable environment. Here are some stuff you can inquire about your own indoor air quality at your local business. You can get additional information at Heating And Cooling-Metzger’s, Inc..
It ‘s extremely necessary to clean, preserve and secure the polished look of marble. All types of harsh cleaning products, soaps and acidic cooking products need to be covered from marble. With just normal shampoos, shaving creams or acidic food products, many people do not realise how easy it is to etch marble tiles. Standard daily cooking items such as lemon juice, vinegar and wine will stain the polished finish and seriously etch it. It is difficult to erase these etching and stain marks with standard cleaning products and procedures when marble is etched or stained. Only gentle stone cleaners should be used on marble surfaces and all spills and contaminants must be wiped away immediately to prevent the polished finish from being etched.
Now, let ‘s move on to rubberized materials, the second type of roof. This i guarantee reliability, cost-effectiveness, and also though it is constructed of different recycled products, it has even been shown to be leak proof. Also, owing to the low weight and versatility it bears, it does not require heavy maintenance. There are two types of rubber roofing: shingled and complete roof. The shingled ones are made of synthetic materials and are best for plain structured buildings, although for a more complex architectural style, the whole roofs are fantastic.
Car incidents are also known as cases of personal injury. This Site is an excellent resource for this. To settle your allegation, you may either bring a lawsuit against the car maker or against the other party involved. The procedural proceedings involved in an injury case might not be known to you. Thus,it is necessary to employ a car accident attorney.
Get a personal injury lawyer who is adequately qualified to get your payout and negotiate the best with the insurer and the insurer of the opposing party.

Professional builders should be concerned about their customers ‘ satisfaction and the final result of a completed project. To provide assistance with the construction of the building, a consumer will require skilled home builders. A builder ‘s price. So, first the owner can determine how much they should pay and then negotiate it with the correct home builder and then, if all is decided, move ahead with the building.
Since any home construction project is important for every home builder, the consumer can look for a high-quality service from them. The builder will therefore have an perfect house for a buyer, but a buyer has to guarantee that the builder delivers a decent standard of operation and is economical for their has.
As freight forwarders add more value-added services to distinguish themselves from shipping companies down the road, increased rivalry b growth. A growing emphasis on enhancing customer service is also likely to be present. In addition, the freight forwarding sector will see more IT use to simplify processes and decrease costs. For clients, this would be good news as it suggests more openness in the international freight industry. Increased use of software can enhance connexions between shipping firms, buyers and the final recipients, offering a better service all around. Integrated IT can also be used in international freight to improve customer preference – for instance, between ‘green’ freight forwarding options as an alternative to the fastest freight transport options. Accenture’s latest study on the freight services industry notes that there are two aspects that differentiate the best performing freight companies from other shipping companies: mastering structured processes and using automated IT. Companies can minimise freight transport costs, reduce errors and increase the speed of the industry by applying automated processes.
The mediation of divorce does not compel the parties to do something or to give something up. They should not be ordered or coerced to carry out a particular action. As a model of conflict resolution, when the parties attempt to find a shared understanding between themselves, divorce mediation may be very fruitful. Therefore, both sides need to be ready and the divorce mediator must be qualified in the art of dispute resolution so that they have a range of talents, including persuasion, a detailed knowledge of civil divorce proceedings, and the ability to deal with any human dynamics. The special skill of a divorce mediator is to inspire parties to start thinking outside the box and to show them the best way to handle the divorce and work amicably. The mediator is a neutral agent of the third party and does not offer any legal advice or tell the parties what they should do.
Some like divorce bargaining because it is regulated. The judge makes all the decisions in a courtroom and there is no assurance that the result will be liked by any side. In mediation, for the best possible result, both sides should have a voice, discuss and make a compromise. For any children who are involved, divorce mediation is also good. Mediation substantially reduced the overall effect on the children as both sides work together to keep the children’s best interests in mind. Mediators will help to make the transition from a married family to co-parenting much simpler and smoother.

There are, of course, two specialisations in the United Kingdom that always make a distinction-the distinction of giving professional counsel and simply going in court: the difference between a lawyer and a plaintiff. While recent reforms (such as the 2004 Clementi Study to the Minister of Justice and the 2007 Legislation on the Legal Service) have created a more coherent legislative framework for legal professionals-and cross-professional practic-the difference still persists for the time being.
Anyway, this effectively eliminates the function of solicitor or the task of supporter. Solicitors have prior communication with a defendant and they have the power of counsel, which ensures they can operate for legitimate reasons in place of a defendant and can initiate lawsuits. In the meantime, barristers are restricted to serving a defendant in the course — the advocacy position — and mostly communicate only through an intermediate solicitor with a defendant.
Why this division? The chief reason is custom. After all, law is nothing without precedence.

In the United States, marijuana abuse has reached epidemic levels, and the issue is only getting worse. In fact, debate and controversy over marijuana use have become widespread across American society. Grand Prairie CBDngressmen and women are actively legislating on medical marijuana issues, activists are advocating for and against its legalisation by petitioning their respective governments, and social sites like Facebook and Twitter are rife with the views of users on the matter. Furthermore, government attempts to stop the sale and possession of marijuana and other substances lead to frequent arrests of individuals from all walks of life. Throughout the nation, hundreds of thousands of non-violent drug prisoners fill prisons, most of them serving time for crimes related to marijuana. To create marijuana policy that better meets the interests of U.S. people, a full understanding of this issue is vital.
Marijuana remains the world’s most common illicit drug, amid considerable lawIts use also brings a much higher degree of social acknowledgement than cocaine , heroin, and other drugs. Large-scale attempts at legalisation over the past decade in the United States are a testament to this acceptance. This supportive mindset is often mirrored in mass culture, as cannabis use is frequently taken lightly and talked about in films , music, and stand-up comedy in a way that drug use is not.
A 2010 study showed that teenagers in the United States now use cannabis far more than they use tobacco. As an explanation for this phenomenon, mosthe medication, as well as shifting perceptions about its use. In addition, many adolescents think that marijuana is much ly with regard to habit development and physical dependence issues. Overall , this research brings to light fresh and fascinating issues. Within a few decades, because today’s adolescents will be the leaders of government and industry, traditional perceptions and public policy regarding the use of marijuana will change dramatically.
Aside from its prevalence among teens, the use of marijuana among senior citizens is gaining popularity. Thethe use of cannabis tripled from 2002 to 2008 among people aged 55 to 59. Many speculate that this pattern is a consequence of the upbringing of these seniors in the 1960s, a period during which drug use by young people was rampant and generally accepted. In addition, marijuana is used by some seniors to relieve glaucoma, joint pain, and other conditions that mostly affect the elderly.
Assessing the dangers of marijuana usage by residents of the United States can be difficult because research on the subject is so scarce. Even the few research that have been conducted are too contentious to use due to the supposed prejudices of their separate funding groups. Recent studies indicate, considering these research challenges, that regular, heavy cannabis use can make established mental and emotional problems much worse. In fact, individuals with these types of conditions can also develop a physical dependence on the drug, although most advocates of its legalisation argue that it is non-habit-forming. Whether or not marijuana is dangerous, the criminal effects of possession can be life-changing, often devastating the work decisions, social ties, and education of a prisoner.

Properties of low-alloy boron-containing steels Brinar 400 and Brinar 500 in as-delivered and normalized conditions are considered. Charpy tests carried out within temperature ranges of ductile-to-brittle transition were followed by fractographic analysis. The tests were carried out on specimens with their axes parallel and perpendicular to hot-working direction, at −40°C, −20°C, 0°C, and +20°C. The determined impact properties of Brinar steels were complemented with fractographic analysis performed with use of a scanning electron microscope. It was found that temperatures of ductile-brittle transition were significantly different for the materials in as-delivered and normalized conditions. In addition the tensile tests were carried out, determining basic strength properties of the analyzed materials.
The examinations were performed on selected grades of low-alloy martensitic steels containing boron, with higher resistance to abrasive wear. These steels are more and more often used for working machine parts and their feature especially emphasised by the users is combination of high abrasion resistance with high impact strength—even at lower temperatures. It is worth stressing that these properties are reached, even if chemical composition basically does not include additive elements (except boron) in the amounts commonly accepted as alloying percentages. This is why, from the viewpoint of chemical composition, properties of these steels should not be significantly different from those of unalloyed low- and medium-carbon steels. Nevertheless, presence of boron and selected microadditions, combined with complex operations of thermomechanical treatment, made it possible to obtain highly favorable mechanical properties, unattainable in unalloyed carbon steels. So, these materials should be treated as a separate material group subjected to separate research procedures. In particular, this concerns the problems—often announced by the users—of breaking constructional joints subjected to thermal effects, for example, those caused by welding processes. In service conditions, it is often not considered that these steels are susceptible to such thermal processes, which can lead to degradation of their properties and, especially, reduce their resistance to dynamic loads. In the available scientific literature, there is no sufficient information about influence of variable thermal treatments on properties of these steels. Some results that can be found for selected grades of these materials do not have the nature of a concise and complete model study. For example, in the steels Hardox 400 and Hardox 500, the materials with chemical compositions very close to compositions of Brinar steels, no reduction of impact strength, and no increase of ductile-brittle transition temperature were observed after normalizing [1]. For the presented material group, as well as for other materials with similar usable properties (e.g., steel B27), a drop of impact strength below the accepted brittleness criterion (35 J/cm2 [2]) was noted after normalizing—even at temperatures above 0°C [3]. Since more and more steel plants extend their offers by martensitic steels with additions of boron, it seems well grounded to continue research works considering new grades of this type steel. With use of advanced manufacturing technologies, modern low- and medium-carbon steels reach very good mechanical properties for moderate prices. Properties of these steels are decided by their structure obtained after a specific thermal or thermomechanical treatment. In order to obtain high mechanical parameters and abrasion resistance, such typical heat treatment is quenching and low tempering. However, it happens that these steels are delivered by the manufacturers in different conditions, sometimes not including hardening, with a suggestion that heat treatment is to be carried out by the customer. In addition, these steels are most often joined by traditional welding methods, which results in wide structural changes in the entire heat-affected zone, including also the structures characteristic for normalizing, commonly accepted as positive ones.
The above-mentioned structural changes are very clearly observed in steels Brinar 400 and Brinar 500. For this reason, these steels determined by their manufacturer (Ilsenburger Grobblech GmbH) as low-alloy martensitic boron-containing high abrasion-resistant steels were subjected to laboratory examinations. First of all, the research was focused on determining basic mechanical and impact parameters in both as-delivered condition and after normalizing. In addition, impact tests were complemented with detailed fractographic analysis. The accepted research procedure is justified by the fact that, generally, fractures of metals and alloys are never completely of ductile or cleavage nature, since traces of plastic deformation are observed on fracture surfaces even at temperatures close to absolute zero [4, 5]. Therefore, it can be assumed that, at the initial phase of stress action, metal deforms plastically till the moment when strengthening caused by work-hardening creates conditions for cleavage cracking. Even in the cases of very small plastic deformation, impact strength of the material can be relatively high, if the fracture surface is relatively well developed. In such a case, a significant part of energy is absorbed during cracking as surface energy [6].
Test specimens were prepared from metal sheets of Brinar 400 and Brinar 500, 6 mm and 12 mm thick, in as-delivered condition (directly from the steel plant). The specimens were cut out by high-energy water-jet and by spark-erosion, with specimen axes parallel and perpendicular to hot-working direction. A portion of the specimens were normalized by austenitizing at 930°C for 60 minutes followed by air cooling till the ambient temperature. During heat treatment, protective atmosphere of 99.995% argon was applied. Basic mechanical properties of the examined materials, on the grounds of the manufacturer’s data, are given in Table 1.

Chemical composition was determined spectrally using a glow discharge analyzer LECO GDS500A, with the parameters V and mA, under 99.999% argon. The results being arithmetic averages of at least five measurements are compared with the manufacturer’s data in Table 2.
Table 2: Chemical compositions of steels Brinar 400 and Brinar 500: MD: manufacturer’s data [7, 8], OR: own results, and NA: not available.
Brinell hardness measurements of the specimens were made acc. to EN ISO 6506-1:2014-12, using a hardness tester Zwick ZHU with a ball of sintered carbides, under the load of 187.5 kgf. Measurements were made on the specimens previously subjected to microstructure observations. The results are given in Table 1.
Mechanical testing was carried out on proportional rectangular specimens at ambient temperature, acc. to EN ISO 6892-1:2016-09, using a tester MTS 810 equipped with an extensometer with gauge base mm. In the tests, constant extension increments were applied up to final fractures of the specimens. Next, ultimate tensile strength , yield strength (), elongation , and reduction of area were determined.
Impact energy (KV) and impact strength (KCV) were determined using a Charpy testing machine Zwick-Roell RPK300 at initial energy 300 J, acc. to EN ISO 148-1:2017-02, on specimens with V-notches 2 mm deep. Impact tests were carried out at ambient temperature +20°C, as well as at lower temperatures of 0°C, −20°C, and −40°C. In individual temperature ranges, the specimens were conditioned in a mixture of isopropanol and liquid nitrogen and then transferred to the testing machine within the time not exceeding 5 seconds. Temperature was measured with a thermoelectric sensor type “T” (Cu-CuNi), in accuracy class A (±0.15°C), acc. to EN 60751:2009. The sensor was coupled with a digital temperature meter “Center.” Results of impact testing are given in Section 3.2.
Fractographic analyses and microstructural observations were performed on specimens unetched and etched with 3-% solution of HNO3 acc. to PN-H-04503:1961. For visible-light observations, a metallographic microscope Nikon Eclipse MA200 and a stereoscopic microscope Nikon AZ100 were used. For electron microscopy, a scanning electron microscope Jeol JSM-6610A was used at accelerating voltage 20 kV. SEM observations were performed in material contrast using SE detectors.
Figures 1 and 2 show microstructures of the examined steels in as-delivered condition. In this condition, the steels have structures of low-carbon, homogeneous martensite with its morphology similar to that of tempered martensite. Moreover, a three-level structure typical for martensite occurring in low-carbon steels can be observed, composed of laths, blocks, and packages. Martensite laths creating a block show identical crystallographic orientation and thus represent the same variant of the created martensite structure.

In the examined steels, normalization caused variable structural changes. Microstructure of Brinar 400 (Figure 3(a)) was composed mostly of granular and, locally, acicular ferrite. Moreover, sparse precipitates of carbide phases (mostly cementite) were observed; see Figure 4(a). Such a microstructure made it possible to reach hardness of 209 HBW. In the case of Brinar 500, normalization caused extensive structural changes (Figure 3(b)). Its microstructure was composed mostly of acicular martensite (with precipitates of carbide phases) and martensite. Moreover, small amounts of granular ferrite and upper bainite were observed; see Figure 4(b). Irrespective of diversification of Brinar 500 microstructure, normalization led to precipitation of large numbers of carbide phases in the whole material volume. With the observed microstructure, this steel reached hardness of 347 HBW.

Because of high hardenability of both Brinar grades, normalizing of these steels leads to nonequilibrium structures, which significantly hinders identification of their initial condition before any heat-treatment operations. In order to recognise their structural properties, full annealing of both Brinar steels was carried out. Structure of Brinar 400 (Figure 5(a)) after full annealing followed by cooling at 0.1°C/s is composed of banded arrangement of equilibrium ferrite grains with fine-lamellar pearlite. On ferrite grain boundaries, precipitates of tertiary cementite can be clearly observed; see Figure 6(a). Microstructure of Brinar 500 after the same heat treatment (Figure 5(b)) is composed of strongly banded areas of ferrite with fine-lamellar pearlite and sparse colonies of degraded pearlite; see Figure 6(b). Volume percentages of these phases are adequate to carbon concentration in this steel. No precipitates of cementite are observed on ferrite grain boundaries, which suggests that it is completely bounded in the pearlitic mixture.

3.2. Results of Impact Testing and Discussion
Results of impact testing of Brinar 400 and Brinar 500 in as-delivered and normalized conditions are shown in Figures 7 and 8. When 35 J/cm2 is accepted as the brittleness criterion corresponding to 50-% occurrence of plastic and brittle fractures, it can be said that both analyzed steels meet this criterion in the entire range of testing temperatures; see Figure 7. At all test temperatures (except −40°C), steel Brinar 400 in longitudinal direction showed the highest impact strength. Moreover, important differences between impact strength values in longitudinal and transverse directions were found for this steel. At +20°C, impact strength in longitudinal direction was over 107% higher than that in transverse direction. Smaller differences could be found at 0 and −20°C, when impact strength in longitudinal direction was, respectively, over 57% and 17% higher. At −40°C, impact strength values for all the specimens were similar, while the lowest value equal to the brittleness criterion was found for Brinar 500 in transverse direction.
Figure 7: Impact strength of steels Brinar 400 and Brinar 500 in as-delivered condition.
Figure 8: Impact strength of steels Brinar 400 and Brinar 500 in normalized condition.
In normalized condition, impact strength of both Brinar 400 and Brinar 500 at each test temperature was lower than 35 J/cm2. Therefore, it could be acknowledged that, in both analyzed steels, mechanical properties were degraded as a result of normalization in comparison to the as-delivered condition. So, it should be considered that high-temperature thermal effects—for example, during welding operations—could lead to brittleness of Brinar 400 and Brinar 500, even at temperatures above 0°C.
Figures 9–12 show macroscopic images of fracture surfaces of Brinar 400 and Brinar 500 specimens after impact testing. On fracture surfaces, percentages of ductile and brittle zones were evaluated, in relation to the accepted brittleness threshold of 35 J/cm2. However, it should be indicated that the performed macroscopic analysis revealed some discrepancies with the so defined brittleness criterion.

In specimens of as-delivered Brinar 400 (Figure 9) after impact test at +20°C, percentages of plastic zones on fracture surfaces are significant for both directions: 56% for longitudinal direction and 40% for transverse direction. This made it possible to maintain high impact strength, especially in longitudinal direction. Moreover, large areas of plastic deformations are macroscopically visible on fracture surfaces showing developed topography. Portions of side plastic zones are also significant. After testing at 0°C, percentages of these zones for longitudinal and transverse directions are, respectively, 44% and 18%. After testing at −20°C and −40°C, these percentages for both directions range between 13% and 18%. Nevertheless, even at these negative temperatures, steel Brinar 400 in as-delivered condition maintains high impact strength. This suggests that impact strength level at lower testing temperatures must be affected by nature of cracking in central zone of the fracture surface. Therefore, this zone is the subject of detailed fractographic analysis with use of electron microscopy.
After normalizing, almost 100-% cleavage zones are observed on all fracture surfaces of Brinar 400 specimens (Figure 10), although, after testing at +20°C (especially on surfaces of longitudinal specimens), narrow plastic zones making ca. 10% of the surface can be observed. In comparison to the as-delivered condition, central surface areas of the specimens are more rough and since cracking proceeds through cleavage planes cutting grains, they reflect actual grain size of the broken material. Moreover, no plastic deformation was found by macroscopic observations. Therefore, low impact strength of normalized Brinar 400 is related to missing plastic zones on fractured surfaces and also to structure of the cleavage zone, whose details were revealed by SEM testing.
In as-delivered condition, plastic zones on fracture surfaces of Brinar 500 (Figure 11) after impact testing at ambient temperature make 48% for longitudinal and 35% for transverse direction. Moreover, macroscopic plastic deformation of the fracture is observed. After testing at 0°C, side plastic zones become narrower and make 23% and 21% of fracture surface area, respectively. After impact tests carried out at negative temperatures, plastic zones become even narrower and central cleavage zone constitutes ca. 90% of fracture surface area. Nevertheless, both Brinar 500 and Brinar 400, even at the lowest temperature, show satisfactory impact strength for which, to a large extent, structure of the central zone is responsible.
Fracture surfaces of normalized Brinar 500 (Figure 12) are similar to those of normalized Brinar 400 and, in each case, show absence of macroscopic plastic deformation, as well as absence of plastic zones on sides and under the mechanical notch. Such arrangement is correlated with reduced impact strength in the entire range of testing temperatures.
Due to the large amount of the research material, the microscopic analysis of the fractures of investigated steels was shown only after impact tests carried out at the extreme temperatures of +20°C and −40°C.
3.3.1. Brinar 400: as Delivered
Fracture surfaces of Brinar 400 specimens in as-delivered condition, cut out in parallel to plastic working direction, are shown in Figures 13 and 14. Macroscopic analysis of fractures after impact tests at +20°C and 0°C showed relatively big parts of plastic zones under mechanical notches and plastic side zones. Microscopic analysis of under-notch plastic zones (Figure 13(a)) revealed that they are ductile fractures with voids of various diameters, partially showing “scaly” structure. It is believed that such a fracture is created as a result of slips followed by decohesion and appearance of microcracks in the planes . Microcracks join each other by shearing their separating walls giving the fracture characteristic appearance of overlapping scales. This indicates that the fracture is initiated by plastic deformation (slip), but cracking itself proceeds basically along determined crystallographic planes [6]. Dimples have parabolic shapes, which proves action of tangent forces in creation of the fracture. Smooth areas with no typical dimpled relief can be also distinguished.
Figure 13: Fracture surfaces of longitudinal Brinar 400 specimens in as-delivered condition after testing at +20°C: (a) under-notch zone; (b) central zone; (c) final-fracture zone. Unetched; SEM.
Figure 14: Fracture surfaces of longitudinal Brinar 400 specimens in as-delivered condition after testing at −40°C: (a) under-notch zone; (b) central zone; (c) final-fracture zone. Unetched; SEM.
Central zones of fracture surfaces in all the specimens (Figures 13(b) and 14(b)), even those subjected to impact testing at the lowest temperatures, are classified as quasi-cleavage fractures with developed topography and numerous transverse cracks. Such a fracture is typical for steels with martensitic or bainitic structure [2, 6]. This kind of fracture is created by cleavage cracking in small, local areas and next joining the cracks to one cracking plane as a result of plastic deformation. Even if, in this case, the facets are similar to cleavage facets, identification of crystallographic planes is almost impossible because of the presence of “river-like” pattern. It is also impossible to say about a typical quasi-cleavage fracture, because the meandering “river-like” pattern creates, on a large area, dimples whose structure can be similar to that of a ductile fracture. Ridges of quasi-cleavage facets are characterized by developed topography, which also proves plastic deformation during their creation.
The differences observed in structures of central fracture areas can be characterized on the grounds of morphology and portion of cleavage ridges characteristic for a typical ductile fracture. In the specimens tested at negative temperatures, portions of ductile areas inside grains become smaller and cleavage ridges become narrower, while portions of ductile areas in central fracture zones of the specimens tested at ambient temperature are very high. Therefore, it can be ascertained that, in the case of Brinar 400, quantitative changes of impact strength at various test temperatures are correlated with observed features of fracture surfaces, like portions of typically ductile side and under-notch zones, as well as portions of ductile impact ridges in central parts of fracture surfaces.
Fracture surfaces of Brinar 400 specimens in as-delivered condition, cut out transversely to plastic working direction, are shown in Figures 15 and 16. The performed fractographic analysis showed that fracture surface of a transverse specimen tested at ambient temperature (Figure 15) does not significantly differ from that of a longitudinal specimen. Thus, differences in impact strength values could result mostly from differences in microscopic structures of the specimens. Under the mechanical notch (Figure 15(a)), a plastic zone is visible, with dimples of parabolic shape.

Figure 16: Fracture surfaces of transverse Brinar 400 specimens in as-delivered condition after testing at −40°C: (a) under-notch zone; (b) central zone; (c) final-fracture zone. Unetched; SEM.
However, central zone (Figure 15(b)) presents a mixed fracture, that is, plastic and quasi-cleavage with developed topography formed in a system of elevations and cavities, showing traces of plastic deformation. Precipitates of intermetallic phases occurring in the dimples of larger diameter acted as stress concentrators [2, 6].
Figures 17–20 show microscopic images of individual zones of fracture surfaces of representative Brinar 500 specimens in as-delivered condition. After testing at +20, plastic under-notch zones in longitudinal specimens have dimpled structure; see Figure 17(a). In larger dimples, nonmetallic inclusions or traces after inclusions in form of transverse cracks are visible. Structure of under-notch zone in transverse specimens tested at ambient temperature is similar; see Figure 19(a). Under-notch fracture zones in longitudinal specimens tested at negative temperatures (Figure 18(a)) and in transverse specimens tested at 0°C are developed quasi-cleavage fractures typical for martensitic steels, containing also bands of plastic fractures.
Quasi-cleavage fracture constitutes also the entire central zone of longitudinal and transverse specimens tested within the whole temperature range (Figures 17(b)–20(b)). Topography of the fracture, like in the case of Brinar 400, is still well developed. Occurrence of such topography means that cracking proceeded not in one crystallographic plane, but it jumped from one plane to another by shearing or creating secondary cracks in their separating walls. It was demonstrated that this effect occurs after encountering a screw dislocation, while a jog height is dependent on magnitude of Burgers’ vector [6]. Creation of jogs is related to increased energy absorbed during cracking, which is equivalent to reduced brittleness. The jogs change direction of crack propagation. As a result, on some lengths, cracking speed is delayed, which results in bending its front and merging its neighbouring jogs to a “river-like” system. Ridges of these jogs and slopes around transverse cracks make areas of typical plastic fractures that, like in the case of Brinar 400, become smaller at lower test temperature.
Comparison of both Brinar grades indicates that these steels are qualitatively similar. However, plastic fracture areas, especially after testing at ambient temperature, are different (smaller in Brinar 500), which is correlated with differences in impact strength values.
3.3.3. Brinar 400: Normalized
Figures 21–24 show SEM images of representative fracture surfaces of Brinar 400 specimens in normalized condition. Earlier macroscopic examinations of Brinar 400 fractures after normalizing in both longitudinal and transverse specimens tested at +20°C did not reveal any plastic side and under-notch zones. That was correlated with lower impact strength values in normalized condition at ambient temperature and above.

Figure 24: Fracture surfaces of transverse Brinar 400 specimens in normalized condition after testing at −40°C: (a) under-notch zone; (b) central zone; (c) final-fracture zone. Unetched; SEM.
Irrespective of the direction in which a specimen was cut out, central fracture zone is of cleavage nature with characteristic river-like relief; see Figures 21(b) and 23(b). Surface topography in that zone is developed and contains transverse cracks. Absence of side plastic zones and low portion of plastic areas in central part of the fracture are correlated with the fact that, in the examined steel, ductile-brittle transition occurs already at positive temperatures.
Fractures of Brinar 400 specimens tested at lower temperatures are also typical cleavage fractures created by cracking along specific crystallographic planes; see Figures 22(b) and 24(b). Fracture surfaces show jogs with characteristic river-like relief and their presence means that cracking did not proceed in one crystallographic plane but jumped from one plane to another. As Maciejny [6] reports, this effect occurs when the cracking front encounters a screw dislocation and size of the jog is dependent on magnitude of Burgers’ vector. Moreover, the jogs influence direction of crack propagation. As a result, the crack is delayed on some lengths and contributes to merging adjacent jogs in a river-like system or a “fan-like” relief. Besides typically cleavage facets, small areas of plastic fracture can be found on the surface. This results from the fact that, in polycrystalline materials, a number of grains exist with their orientation or state of stress unfavorable for creation of a cleavage fracture [9]. A characteristic detail on surfaces of the analyzed fractures is presence of intercrystalline transverse cracks and sharp, flat, jog-free elevations similar to partial tears.
Figures 25–28 show representative fracture surfaces of Brinar 500 specimens in normalized condition. A fracture of normalized Brinar 500, even after testing at +20°C, is a typical cleavage fracture (Figures 25(b) and 27(b)) with characteristic system of “rivers” that combine in “drainage areas” towards expansion direction of the main crack. Presence of the river-like relief indicates additional expenditure of energy during creation of a fracture [2, 6]. Locally, in the places where additional cracks originated on grain boundaries, fan-like areas can be observed.
Moreover, traces of secondary cracks can be seen on surfaces of facets. Apart from cleavage facets, bands of plastic fracture running along cleavage rigs occur on the fracture surface. After impact testing of normalized steel Brinar 500 at lower temperatures (Figures 26(b) and 28(b)), central, quite developed parts of fracture surfaces are cleavage fractures in that plastic areas are smaller than those in normalized Brinar 400. Structure of the observed facets is typical, with “drainage areas” and traces of intercrystalline secondary cracks.
It can be generally said that, in normalized Brinar 500, ductile-brittle transition occurs already at positive temperatures, like in the case of Brinar 400.
The obtained impact testing results, as well as the performed fractographic analyses lead to the conclusion that, during normalization, steels Brinar 400 and Brinar 500 undergo degradation processes manifesting themselves, first of all, by reduced impact energy. Generally, presence of dominating cleavage fracture in structures of the examined steels after normalizing is characteristic for steels with ferritic-pearlitic structure [6]. Presence of pearlite in steel structure is identified with reduced crack toughness [10]. In the analyzed steels in normalized condition, cleavage fractures occurred already after testing at ambient temperature, while, in analogous examinations of steels Hardox 400 and Hardox 500, brittle cracking occurred at negative temperatures only [11–13]. Moreover, at ambient temperature, steels Hardox 400 and Hardox 500 showed impact strength higher than 100 J/cm2, maintaining large areas (nearly 50%) of side plastic zones on their fracture surfaces. Central fracture zones in these steels were of typically cleavage nature. At 0°C, impact strength values of Hardox steels were still significantly higher than 35 J/cm2 [11–13]. It is also interesting that fractures of Hardox steels in as-delivered condition, tested at ambient temperature, were ductile with dimpled structure [1], while fractures of Brinar steels were mixed—that is, quasi-cleavage with a significant part of ductile fractures. Quasi-cleavage fractures with plastic areas are typical for martensitic steels not subjected to tempering after quenching, whereas structure of tempered martensite results in dimpled ductile fractures [14, 15].
The most important differences in the determined basic strength properties apply to both tested steel grades Brinar 400 and Brinar 500 in the case of juxtaposition of materials before and after normalizing annealing. The differences concern, first of all, the strength properties ( and ), which are reduced in the case of Brinar 400 steel by 44% for and by 56% for (as-delivered condition and annealed condition). Young’s modulus value remains similar for the tested materials, with the exception of the Brinar 500 steel in the normalized state, for which Young’s modulus drops by 10% compared to this material in the delivery state.
Steel Brinar 400 in the as-delivered condition is characterized by the most favorable value of the strength ratio / (0.93). Normalization results in a significant decrease in the / ratio for both tested steel grades, amounting to 23% for Brinar 400 steel and 29% for Brinar 500 steel.
On the other hand, the ductility represented by the percentage elongation () increased as a result of normalizing annealing by 83% for Brinar 400 steel and 103% for Brinar 500 steel. The reduction of area value () did not change significantly for the tested materials; however, it remains with the connection with materials’ fracture and reflecting the type of the fracture. For Brinar 400 steel (in the as-delivered condition), despite the relatively small average value of elongation (), the slip fracture has plastic features in the macroscopic image, and the reduction of area takes the value of 52%. Only in the case of Brinar 500 steel (in the normalized state) does the value of reduction of area significantly decrease to 33%, corresponding to the character of the brittle fracture, confirming the results of fractographic analysis for this material.
The change of the forming direction of the tested Brinar 400 and 500 steels did not lead to a significant change in their strength and plastic properties.
When 35 J/cm2 is accepted as the brittleness criterion corresponding to 50% occurrence of plastic and brittle fractures, it can be acknowledged that, in as-delivered condition, the analyzed steels are resistant to brittle cracking in the entire range of test temperatures. In normalized condition, both Brinar 400 and Brinar 500 reached impact strength lower than 35 J/cm2 at each test temperature. In this case, ductile-to-brittle transition was noted already at ambient temperature, which can be clearly explained by occurrence of degradation changes resulting from carried-out thermal treatments.
The performed macroscopic analysis of fracture surfaces showed some discrepancies between the qualitative and the quantitative brittleness criteria. In the case of fracture surfaces of as-delivered, both longitudinally and transversely cut-out specimens of Brinar 400 and Brinar 500 after impact testing at +20°C, portions of plastic zones ranged between 35% do 56%, which guaranteed high level of impact strength. Significant portions of plastic zones were maintained at 0°C. However, after impact testing at negative temperatures, central cleavage zones covered nearly 90 and 100% of fracture surface areas. In normalized condition, fracture surfaces always showed absence of macroscopic plastic deformation, as well as absence of side and under-notch plastic zones.
SEM examinations of fracture surfaces of as-delivered Brinar 400 and Brinar 500 showed that central zones of fracture surfaces were of quasi-cleavage nature with developed topography, containing numerous transverse cracks and plastic cleavage ridges, whereas plastic side zones and under-notch zones showed dimpled structure. In larger dimples, nonmetallic inclusions or traces after inclusions in form of transverse cracks were found.
Microscopic observations of the analyzed steels in normalized condition showed typically cleavage fractures with characteristic “river-like” relief, containing small portions of plastic dimpled zones.

Susanna Foo is not your typical Chinese chef. She doesn' doesn't wish to be hemmed in by national or regional boundaries. In her opinion, the finest cooking is a synthesis of time and place. Her own cooking style, which can be sampled at her eponymous restaurant on Walnut Street in Philadelphia, is as Western as it is Chinese, a result of her having lived here for some 30 years.
Trained as a librarian, she appears soft-spoken and circumspect, but underneath the surface, she's inflamed by an acute sense of taste and a spirit of adventure. Indeed, many Asian aficionados credit Foo with having brought Chinese food into the modern realm.
Her first concession to America was American pots. ''If you use a wok on a Western stove,'' she explains, ''nothing cooks evenly.'' By trial and error, she discovered that aged balsamic vinegar had the mellow flavor of the black vinegar of her youth. (Rice vinegar, she will tell you now, is sharp, and you have to add sugar to balance it, and Foo doesn't like to add sugar to food.) She discovered, too, that ancho chilies give depth and warmth to Sichuan sauces, that artichoke hearts taste better than canned bamboo shoots, that sun-dried tomatoes are reminiscent of the dried cabbage she added to meat sauces in Taiwan.
Traveling in Europe and Southeast Asia, she says, influenced her as much as her childhood and her three decades here. It also confirmed her central belief that good Chinese cooking is like good cooking anywhere -- it's all about simplicity and preserving the uniqueness of each ingredient.

Now to give fans a legitimate opportunity to see the episode, since FOX is still not saying they'll air it, you can see what is, for all intents and purposes, the ultimate fate of the Dollhouse and its denizens. Kind of. While Whedon says "Epitaph One" is canon, he also indicated that since we're told the future history through memories, there's no guarantee that they're 100% reliable.
Even Dollhouse is a very different show than what FOX would have had us believe with the firt few episodes; they were tinkering again. Just watch "Epitaph One" or the aborted pilot to see how Whedon wanted to get deeper into the inner workings of the technology at play here from the beginning. So if you gave up on it early, don't.
And, of course, all of this keeps Dollhouse in the news and on people's minds for the season premiere Friday, September 25th and 9pm.

In anticipation of the South African government’s imminent Defence Review, this Paper calls for a consultative and public review process, which should seek to establish a comprehensive national security policy framework for South Africa.
The Paper challenges the ever-greater emphasis on high tech equipment in the SANDF’s procurement strategy, given the acute shortages of highly-trained personnel in the armed forces and the likely future security threats to South Africa. In particular, the Paper argues that modest but well trained forces offer much greater capability to address the interlocking socio-economic challenges – state failure, radicalisation, rapid population growth and widening inequality – that are likely to generate organised violence in the coming decades.

NX35 Adds Kissaway Trail of Demark, 9 More Names To Lineup
Kissaway Trail recently shared a European tour with Passion Pit. The band will appear at NX35 just before the group's first U.S. release drops in April on Bella Union.
Held in Denton, Texas the weekend before SXSW, NX35 will also welcome The Flaming Lips, The Black Angels, HEALTH, Juliana Barwick, Jookabox and others to the other, smaller Texas music town north of Austin' central business district March 11-14, 2010.
Denton was recently considered an heir to Athens, Georgia with Midlake as its "R.E.M.- apparent" in a Dallas Observer cover story profiling the band's evolution alongside that of their long-held hometown. Patrons of NX35 will be introduced to what Paste magazine called the Best Music Scene of 2008 via its most talked-about talent, with Midlake and their polarizing new material, the fast-rising Fergus and Geronimo, and recent Kirtland Records signee Sarah Jaffe as the lantern holders.Wristbands for NX35 are going fast at nx35.com.

A free, open-source and user-friendly voice communication application specially designed for gamers that need to chat with other players
Mumble is a voice chat solution that provides support for groups and sports features developed specially for gamers. Note that Mumble is simply the client side of the system, and that you need to have access to a server, which is handled by the Murmur component.
Voice chat tool that supervises the audio and server certificate configurations
Right off the bat, Mumble launches the Audio Wizard where you get to select the input and output devices, or tune the hardware output delay or the microphone volume.
In addition, you can help Mumble understand when you are talking or being silent, make quality settings depending on your bandwidth, choose to receive notifications, or adjust the positional audio settings.
At the same time, the Certificate Wizard helps you generate a trusted certificate that will be required to connect to a server. The same area enables you to import a certificate or export the current certificate.
As soon as all this is taken care of, just navigate to the Servers window and establish a connection. If you want to connect to a server that is not included in the list, just manually provide the label, address, port, and username.
Communicate with others by using your voice and even record the session
Within the Mumble main window, you get to see the list of channels and users currently connected to the server: you can either join channels, send messages to users, mute certain contacts, and so on.
Note that your microphone is activated by default, but you can choose to mute it, just like you can opt to deafen the app. For your convenience, Mumble also provides sound alerts so you can know whenever you have connected or disconnected from the server, and so on.
Worth mentioning is that Mumble sports two special functions that prove to be very useful if using the app when playing games to communicate with other players: in-game overlay and positional audio. This way you know who is speaking, and you get to hear players based on their location.
Your interactions can be recorded, and Mumble can export the audio using popular file formats, such as WAV, FLAC, OGG, or AU.
Talk to your friends by using the microphone without experiencing any delay
Mumble is an open source project focused on providing a low-latency voice chat solution that also keeps the communication private by encrypting everything between your client app and the server.
The Mumble client app sports built-in configuration wizards and helps you connect to public servers in no time.
Furthermore, Mumble enables you to recognize contacts on different servers and proves to be quite efficient for gaming purposes. However, to host a mumble server, you need to go through the Murmur component of the system.

Dershowitz responded by giving them all a quick lesson on the law.
The panel was referring to Cohen pleading guilty last Tuesday to charges related to campaign finance laws and other fraud. The terms of his plea deal are ever-changing, but he has agreed to spend between three to five years in prison.
Dershowitz’s point was that if Trump directed Cohen to use his own money to pay off Daniels and McDougal — who allege they were paid as part of a nondisclosure agreement to remain quiet about the alleged affairs with Trump years ago — and then Trump paid back Cohen, that is not a crime.
