Mudslides triggered by the May 12, 2008 Wenchuan, China earthquake may release an amount of carbon-dioxide
The expected carbon dioxide release from the mudslides following the Wenchuan earthquake is similar to that caused by Hurricane Katrina’s plant damage, report Diandong Ren, who used a computer model to predict the ecosystem impacts of the mudslides.
What’s more, the vegetation destruction will lead to a loss of nitrogen from the quake-devastated region’s ecosystem twice as large as the loss of that nutrient from California ecosystems because of the October 2007 wildfires there, Ren says. And, as the biomass buried by the China quake rots, 14 percent of the nitrogen will be spewed into the atmosphere as nitrous oxide, a pollutant typically released from agricultural operations, automobiles and other sources.

Although landscapes devastated by the Chinese earthquake may re-green soon, the recovery will be cosmetic, says Ren.
“From above, the area will look green in a few years, because grass grows back quickly, but the soil nutrients recover very slowly, and other kinds of plants won’t grow,” he says.

en | N/A | N/A | July 27, 2001|By George Diaz, Sentinel Columnist
We have crossed this controversial divide before, trying to judge people fairly without the stereotypical ties that bind.
We fill in the blanks, checking off the occasional "African-American," "Hispanic" or "female" on our organizational scorecard, while assuming our social and moral obligations have been met with a token hire.
Fortunately, there are others who are keeping score.
Folks such as Richard Lapchick.
An idealistic town crier, Lapchick politely demands equality while waving a shameful report card that begs for accountability: Why only five African-Americans among 115 head coaches in Division I-A college football? Why only three African-Americans with a head-coaching position out of 31 in the NFL? Why only two African-Americans and two women chief executive officers among the five men's pro leagues?
The 2001 Racial & Gender Report Card, released this weekcuts through the clutter of administrative paperwork to expose a sports world defined by disturbing shades of black and white.
As the organization's point man, Lapchick has been a principal with principle for 12 years and has taken on the task of handing grades to groups such as , the WNBA and the NCAA.
It's a study in underachievement at best, with only the NBA (A) and WNBA (B-plus) getting respectable marks while seven other groups dropped into mediocrity's range with a succession of C-pluses and C's.
It would be ludicrous to demand change for the sake of token representation. No one should be looking for handouts. But what is disturbing is the continual lack of urgency in trying to level the playing field.
It's beyond embarrassing that in a college sport where 50.5 percent of the players are black and more than 57 percent are minorities, only five African-Americans are deemed qualified as leaders on a football field. College football did not have an African-American head coach as recently as 1992. And blacks have filled only 12 of 156 vacancies since then. On a larger platform, only eight percent of all men's head coaches in the NCAA are of a racial minority.
"All we want is the right to fail,"once said.
The battle against isolation and ignorance rages daily. There is idiocy all around us, and it is not subtle. Baltimore Ravens owner Art Modell was once asked what kind of style he prefers in his coach. "If Hitler came back, I'd take him," he answered. When Charles Barkley, his then 6-year-old daughter found a note on her school locker that read: "I'm glad you're gone, [racial epithet]!" Just this week, we have seen an all-star cadre of athletes, including Orlando Magic center Patrick Ewing, admit to sexual shenanigans at Atlanta's Gold Club that reflect a demeaning attitude toward women.
It all adds up to a pathetic report card, not just for the alphabet-soup organizations that rule sports.
"As in society itself, we," said Lapchick, who now runs the center primarily through an office in Orlando.
The best we all can do is keep banging on doors. The knock you might have heard Thursday came from the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who visited with NCAA officials to discuss the poor minority hiring record in football.
It's a worthwhile chat. Folks such as Richard Lapchick will be eavesdropping, ready to pass out grades at the end of the semester.

en | N/A | N/A | Will Brad Peacock continue his meteoric rise up the organization with a 9/1 callup? Photo bleacherreport.com
There are actually two levels of the 40 man roster question – the “September roster” and the offseason roster. Because a large number of players in the system are going to be exposed to the Rule 5 draft this offseason if they’re not moved up. These include:
Matt Antonelli, IF (AAA)
Steve Lombardozzi, IF (AAA)
Brad Meyers, RHP (AAA)
Tom Milone, LHP (AAA)
Derek Norris, C (AA)
Brad Peacock, RHP (AAA)
Josh Smoker, RHP (A+)
Jhonathan Solano, C (AAA)
With Harper, Purke and Rendon taking up 40 man slots, it’s getting mighty crowded. Mock has actually posted some pretty decent numbers after converting to a full-time relief pitcher. Peacock, Lombardozzi and Milone probably get the call in September, because they’ll be on the 40 man eventually anyway. With Strasburg they’ll need four spots, but they get those by DL’ing Kimball, LaRoche and Carr and DFAing Slaten.
24 Aug 11 at 6:21 pm
I wouldn’t bring up Brown either; we have too many outfielders as it is to find time for one more. Here’s Meyer’s innings work load by year. 2007: 40 pro, ? amateur. 2008: 107. 2009: 136. 2010: 30. 2011 so far: 122. He had a nice progression til 2010. Now it seems he’ll only possibly reach his 2009 numbers.
25 Aug 11 at 10:00 am
I’ll bet Slaten is not DFA’ed at all, and in fact that he’s in the bullpen at Nats Park in September. He’d pitched OK inHagerstown… AND … he’s lefthanded. Rizzo won’t part with him that easily.

While the hard-boiled news hounds found it beneath their dignity to cheerlead for local businesses, what resulted was at least a purely editorial product. We would run full-page ballots in the three preceding issues, as well as an online ballot, allowing readers to elect their own "reader's poll" winners—we took pains to eliminate ballot stuffing and we disqualified obvious cheaters.

en | N/A | N/A | The Train to Impossible Places: An interview with P.G. Bell’s in store next for Suzy and her friends…
Find out more about P.G. Bel Train to Impossible Places?
It’s a high-speed fantasy adventure about Suzy, a sensible, science-loving girlagic train in her house one night. It’s crewed by trolls (and a bright yellow bear), it’s powered by nuclear bananas, and its job is to deliver post to a countless number of magical realms that, as far as Suzy’s concerned, have no business existing.
Suzy is a wonderful character – brave, clever and determined. Who inspired her?
It’s odd, but Suzy walked out of my imagination pretty much fully formed. I knew right from the start who she was, and what her attitude to the trolls and their bizarre magic was going to be. She sees it as her job to push back against all the craziness, and try and bring a little common sense to bear. She doesn’t often succeed.
The cover design in this US version of the book is by Matthew Sharack
As I was reading, I picked up echoes of Terry Pratchett’s humour and world-building and C.S Lewis’s magic and mystery. Did either of these authors influence your writing?
You know exactly how to flatter me! I discovered Pratchett in my early teens and fell in love with his writing straight away. He’s certainly been an influence, and I wanted to capture some of that same humour in The Train To Impossible Places. I’m also a great admirer of Lewis’s work, though it’s had less of a direct influence on my own.
You talk a lot about the negative impact The Ether Web has had on the Impossible Places. What aspects of modern life do you enjoy? What aspects of today’Despite my apparent reticence for it in the book, I really do love the internet. I was 18 when we had it installed at home, and it changed everything. I imagine it must be how the Victorians felt at the advent of electricity. It’s a real pleasure being able to reach out across the world in search of information and like-minded people. We all feel less alone in a way. But at the same time we’ve got to be careful just who is controlling these flows of information, and the direction of the flow as well. There are some very rich and powerful organisations in charge of the net nowadays, and we’ve handed them unprecedented access to our lives. We need to be wary of what we’re telling them about ourselves, and where that information ends up.
Wilmot’s shoulders slump when he asks, ‘Why send a letter when the web is quicker?’ What do you think letters provide us with that texts and emails don’t?
There’s a touch of the personal about them. They show that someone’s gone to a bit of extra effort to get in touch and share their thoughts with you, even if it’s just a postcard. And there’s a permanence to them that e-mails and IMs just don’t have. I still have letters that a few friends sent me 25 years ago. How many old WhatsApp messages am I going to hang on to?
Science, physics and Fuzzics are important themes in the story. What are your feelings about the recent finding and only make up 14.4% of all people working in STEM in the UK? How do you think The Train to Impossible Places tries to tackle this issue?
That’s a tough one. I didn’t write book with this disparity in mind, although I’d be thrilled if it encourages more young women and girls to pursue science to a higher level. I’m not a scientist myself – physics and chemistry were my worst subjects at school – but I did spend several years working as an assistant in a university science library, where a great many of the clientele were women from across the world studying everything from architecture to astrophysics. There’s clearly no shortage of talent available. We need to ask ourselves why there’s a lack of desire, opportunity, or both.
The story zips along at a brilliant pace and is full of twists and turns. What did you edit out of the story to ensure it stayed so taught and exciting?
The first draft was about 2000 words shorter than the final book, so I actually ended up adding quite a lot, on the advice of my editors. It’s unusual for me, as I usually over-write and then edit down. The sub-plot with Lord Meridian and Captain Neoma was added in the edits – prior to that, it had just been Suzy and the crew, and Lord Meridian only showed up in the final chapter. I’m glad you think the pace still holds up though!
Do you remember how you felt when you saw the marvellous illustrations by Flavia Sorrentino? What do you feel they bring to the book?
I remember seeing her test sheet – effectively her audition for the job – and thinking straight away that Usborne had made the right choice. She’s got a wonderful expressionist sensibility that manages to be both warm and charming, yet slightly off-kilter. It’s the same sensibility I was aiming for with the story as a whole, so Flavia’s illustrations are the perfect fitook!
I wondered if you could give us some clues about what might happen in the sequel to The Train to Impossible Places, which is due to be published in October 2019 and called The Great Brain Robbery?
Suzy and her friends have reunited for the relaunch of the Impossible Postal Express. But before they can get back to work, Trollville is rocked by the first earthquake in the city’s history. It’s clear that something sinister is afoot (or rather, underfoot), and Suzy sets out across the Impossible Places in search of answers.
It’s a slightly different beast to the first book – as much a mystery story as an adventure. We get to discover some brand new Impossible Places and explore some familiar ones in greater depth. Suzy makes some new friends and enemies along the way. And Wilmot gets an adventure of his own this time!
What has it been like writing a sequel to The Train to Impossible Places? Was it nerve-wracking or has it been enjoyable to revisit this wonderful world again? Did you always envisage a sequel to the story?
I’ve loved diving back into the Impossible Places, and cooking up new challenges for Suzy and the crew. And while it’s been fun, it’s also been a steeper learning curve this time around – sequels come with a certain weight of expectation that I’ve never had to deal with before. Thank goodness for my editors: Rebecca Hill and Becky Walker at Usborne, and Anna Poon at Feiwel & Friends. They’ve helped guided me through the process, and have kept me focussed on the core of the story when I wanted to wander off on weird little tangents. It’s been tough at times, but the whole thing has come together really well, and I’m very happy with the result.
Finally, can you describe The Train to Impossible Places in three words?
Fast. Funny. Weird.

en | N/A | N/A | Why the bond market is experiencing volatility similar to the 2008 financial crisis.
Good morning team. I’m Phil Rosen.
The long-awaited Ethereum merger event, which experts say will increase energy efficiency on that blockchain by 99%, has ended, co-founder Vitalik Buterin said in a Twitter post.
Top financiers have been talking about it all week at the SALT conference in New York.
One macro investor said the merger parallels the corporate governance structure seen in equities, Insider’s Laila Maidan writes, while another executive said the event could lead to massive confusion.
Read our correspondent’s breakdown here.
Meanwhile, the stock market is still reeling from Tuesday’s beating, with the S&P 500 barely making a gain after its biggest one-day drop in two years.
But it’s not just stocks and cryptocurrencies that are churning this week.
Here’s a breakdown of what you want to know about the bond market and why it’s experiencing some of the most dramatic volatility since the 2008 financial crisis.
1. Most investors are watching the Fed rate hikes. but policymakers’ balance sheet plans could have an even bigger impact on markets.
The central bank has pledged to reduce its balance sheet, which consists mainDuring the pandemic, the Federal Reserve increased purchases of those bonds and securities, as well as corporate debt, in an effort to keep credit markets open.
At the time, the move worked, but it increased the Fed’s balance sheet from about $4 trillion to about $9 trillion today.
Now, as Jerome Powell moves to undo those holdingsbusiness liquidity in government bonds has declined significantly since April.
currently shows “stressed” conditions, already at precarious levels last seen at the height of the pandemic and on par with the 2008 crisis.
“The Fed may be creating different problems this time around. Business liquidity has steadily worsened throughout the year and rivals the worst of the March 2020 period. Corporate distress has also increased,” Ned Davis Research said in a note.
That bond market volatility is starting to bleed into the stock market, according to analysts.
Last week, Bank of America said that the decrease in liquidity in the Treasury market represents the greatest systemic risk for financial markets.
The drop in liquidity and the resilience of US Treasuries, BofA said, could be a bigger risk to stocks than the 2007 housing bubble.
How are you adjusting your investments to account for market volatilityThe EU gets around 45% of its gas imports from Russia.

en | N/A | N/A | The Memphis area is notorious for pedestrian accidents. In one study, we rank 7th in pedestrian deaths of all the cities in the United States – and 5th in major metro areas.
1. Raise awareness of “drunk walking” risks.
Drunk driving is not the only danger on the road. 1/3 of all pedestrian fatalities occur when the pedestrian is legally drunk (e). It is extremely dangerous to walk along the road while intoxicated, and the longer you walk the more at risk you’ll be.
2. Improve pedestrian crosswalk availability.
Some cities have had success with painting pedestrian crosswalks in high foot traffic areas. Cars are required to stop when pedestrians need to cross. This option could help prevent pedestrians from trying to cross the street in unsafe places.
3. Crack down on violations that put pedestrians at risk.
Drivers have certain responsibilities, including the need to watch out for bikers, cyclists, and pedestrians. If an accident occurs, it’s important that drivers be held accountable. A full investigation should be done on the victims’ behalf, and insurance should provide compensation to anyone who was injured.
Sadly, that’s not always what happen cover the cost, even when the pedestrian’s family needs it most.

en | N/A | N/A | It’s generally recommended that you get a dental cleaning at least once every 6 months. This way you can ensure that no cavities or gum diseases develop between your dental appointments. Keep in mind, however, that good family dentistry isn’t just about averages, it’s about your individual needs. It’s recommended that you consult your dentist to see whether you need more frequent appointments to maintain healthy oral hygiene.
While brushing and flossing at home are necessary preventative measures against cavities and gum disease, they are not sufficient for guaranteeing preservation of your teeth in the long term. Plaque is a sticky layer of bacteria that is constantly building up on your teeth; it’s also the leading cause of tooth decay. The harmful effects of bacteria on your teeth and gums only increase when uncared for. While you can remove the majority of plaque buildup at home with consistent oral hygiene practices, when left on your teethBoth plaque and tartar contribute heavily to gum disease.
Gum disease is classified into two stages: the initial stage, gingivitis, and the progressive stage, periodontitis. During the first stage of gum disease, no sustainable damage occurs. Gingivitis typically consists of sensitive, red swollen gums that easily bleed during brushing.
If teeth cleaning remains inadequate,involves the forming of deep pockets between your teeth and your gums. These deep pockets collect additional debris more quickly, while also making it harder to appropriately remove bacteria build up. Between the plaque, tartar, and limited access bone and tissue deterioration occurs, loosening the anchors How do my regular checkups help to fight and prevent gum disease and other oral health issues?
In addition to the prevention of gum disease, family dentistry is also invested in ensuring total oral hygiene. Your regular checkups consist of two main stages: the examination and the cleaning. During your initial visits, your examination will consist of x-rays to inspect your teeth for any cavities or other health issues.
The cleaning process will include both a more in-depth brushing and flossing than available at home, and what is called scaling. During scaling, special tools are used to remove tartar build up from the teeth, which you can’t remove at home. Y. When indicated, fluoride will be applied to reinforce your teeth’s surface strength which may have eroded from the acidity of the bacteria or other sources.
Family dentistry is meant to help stop progressive gum disease before it can reach the stage of periodontitis, but the pace at which plaque and tartar build up is different from person to person. By consulting your dentist about the frequency of visits appropriate for you and your family, you maintain the highest possible chance of health for your gums and teeth.
Recent studies have shown oral hygiene to be connected with overall health, so be sure to maintain a healthy mouth. |

Borrowing this phrase from Buddhism, I use it to refer to slightly distorted versions of spiritual teachings—statements that are close to a profound and subtle truth, but are distorted just enough to make a big difference over time. When we’re talking about deep and fundamental truths, getting it a little bit wrong doesn’t matter in the short run, but it does in the long run, just like a tiny adjustment to the rudder of your boat makes little difference at first, but after 1000 miles, it lands you on a different continent.
Nondual spirituality teaches that the purpose of life is entirely fulfilled in the living of it. Your worth is abundantly proven by your very existence and could not be proven by anything else. You are, after all, a human being not a human doing.
To fully and completely be—an incredibly rare thing in this world—is the ultimate expression of your human nature. You cannot fail at life, but you can fail to realize your true nature, and thereby fail to fully inhabit your natural state of being. This would be perfectly okay, since you are completely divine whether you realize it or not, but would constitute a missed opportunity (from your point of view), since you probably crave the deep fulfillment such realization brings.
But there is another important teaching to grok here. One of the most fascinating aspects of self-realization is the fact that even though it is not personal—that is, even though what is realized is universal Being—it express |

Currently, there is no established way of determining the fairness of mental health outcomes post-disaster, whi policies or guidelines ought to change in order to remedy an injustice. In this project, I use an environmental justice framework to assess the justness of mental health outcomes after natural disasters, using the Fort McMurray fire of 2016, known as The Beast, as a case study. Environmental justice theories have not previously been used to determintherefore I begin by determining whether this the correct type of theory to use for this endeavour by examining certain critical components of the theory against what would be required for its application in this particular context. I end this ethical analysis by suggesting particular elements for inclusion in an environmental justice theory, to accommodate its usage for mental health outcomes post-natural disaster. The Beast caused the largest mandatory evacuation and was the costliest disaster in Canadian history. It therefore serves as a highly relevant case study to examine the question of equity in mental health outcomes in a Canadian context. Using aggregated data from Alberta Health, academic articles, newspaper articles, and published reports, I attempt to determine what the mental health outcomes of the Beast were, and if they affected the members of the population equally. In my final chapter, I applied the findings from my ethical analysis to the case study. This iterative process highlighted gaps and strengths in the approach. I conclude this thesis by reflecting on the learnings from this application process and offer thoughts on how we can move forward.

en | N/A | N/A | Business Day|Jess Jackson Dies at 81, a Wine Grower With a Taste for Thoroughbred Racing
By WILLIAM GRIMESAPRIL 21, 2011
cancer, a spokeswoman for Jackson Family Wines said.Mr. Jackson was a successful lawyer looking for a little excitement in his life in 1974, when he and his wife, the former Jane Kendall, bought an 80-acre pear and walnut farm in Lakeport, Calif., north of San Francisco. He planted vines and sold his grapes to local wineries. In the early 1980s, when Fetzer Vineyards canceled an order and left him with a bumper crop of grapes, he began making his own wines.In 1982 he produced his first bottle of Vintner’s Reserve, a chardonnay whose $4.50 price put it midway between a blended jug wine and the wines termed superpremium in the trade, and whose sweet fruitiness found favor with American palates.Kendall-Jackson shipped fewer than 20,000 cases of its first Vintner’s Reserve. It soon became the most popular chardonnay in the United States, selling millions of cases annually and igniting a craze for California chardonnay.
“The original business plan was to break even at 50,000 cases, but we kept growing,” Mr. Jackson told Food and Wine magazine in 2000. Continue reading the main story
Jess Jackson built the Kendall-Jackson wine company in Santa Rosa, Calif.
Jim Wilson/The New York Times In 2003 Mr. Jackson threw his considerable energies and assets into thoroughbred racing, acquiring top horses that race under the colors of Stonestreet Stables.In 2007 he bought a controlling interest in Curlin, who went on to wthat year, and the $6 million Dubai World Cup in 2008.A year later, with his partner Harold McCormick, Mr. Jmore than 20 lengths. He ranly to win the race since Nellie Morse in 1924. Curlin won Horse of the Year honors in both 2007 and 2008, and Rachel Alexandra won in 2009.Mr. Jackson, who as a child saw Seabiscuit run, told Daily Racing Form in 2010, “My ancestry is cowboys and Texans and Westerners.” A lifelong love of the races, which he enjoyed handicapping, lured him to the track as an owner. “The joy of the sport brought me back,” he said.Jess Stonestreet Jackson Jr. was born on Feb. 18, 1930, in Los Angeles and grew up in San Francisco. He supported himsels a Berkeley policeman and a longshoreman. After earning a law degree, he worked as a lawyer for the state, specializing in land-use issues. In the late 1950s he started his own law firm in San Francisco.Mr. Jackson’s appetite for litigation did not stop after he entered the wine business and thoroughbred racing. He sued his chief winemaker at Kendall-Jackson, Jed Steele, accusing him of revealing trade secrets — the formula for making Vinter’s Reserve — when Mr. Steele left the company in 1990. A county court, in a surprise ruling, found in Mr. Jackson’s favor and stated that the formula for making wine belongs to a winery, not the winemaker.

Mr. Jackson went on to campaign for a new law in Kentucky that would require an agent representing both sides of an equine transaction to disclose the fact to buyer and seller. Such a law was passed in 2006.Mr. Jacksoarbara Bankeartford and Laura Giron; three children from his second marriage, Katie, Julia and Christopher; and two grandchildren.
Mr. Jackson stumbled on the success of Vintner’s Reserve. A misstep in the fermentation process left the wine with residual sugar and a pronounced sweet taste. It turned out to be an ideal flavor profile for aspirational wine drinkers ready to move beyond jug wines but still attracted to fruity, off-dry whites — chardonnay with training wheels. “Americans love forward fruit flavor and a good price,” Mr. Jackson told Food and Wine in 1999. “That’s what drove our success.”Critics sneered. Consumers cheered. Mr. Jackson told The New York Times in 1992. “.”In a business littered with ambitious failures, Mr. Jackson showed a remarkable ability to expand aggressively while keeping his operations profitable. Year after year, he acquired faltering small wineries and bought thousands of acres in prime wine regions, including Mendocino, Sonoma, Napa, Lake, Santa Barbara and Monterey Counties. The company owns more than 14,000 acres of California vineyards and an equal amount of land not currently planted.Although the company has concentrated on producing well-made affordable wines, in 2005 it began offering a premium-price line of single-vineyard wines called Highland Estates.

We are just past the halfway point of 2014markets have done so far this year.
Last year, the bond market lost about 2% due largely to the fact that the Fed hinted to, and then did indeed, reducing their monthly bond purchases (exiting a program known as Quantitative Easing 3). With the Government buying fewer bonds, the demand dropped, as did the prices. This (eventually) helped the stock market as the Fed seemed to be signaling that the Economy was getting healthier and no longer needed as much cash infused into it. The S&P 500 gained 30% last year.
I believe that the stock market should continue to grow. Slowly, however, as the Economy is growing slowly. I don’t think that the market is overvalued even as we come off a 30% gain last year. If you look at ten year rolling periods, the historical return is about 10% annually. However, over the last ten years, the S&P 500 has gained just 8.34%. The conundrum of the growing stock market and the dropping interest rates is probably a combination of many influences (some mentioned above). I also believe that rates may have moved up too much last year and are settling back to a more appropriate level. Over the past six years, the Fed has taken several historic and untested steps to encourage growth in the economy. And even they didn’t know what to expect in the aftermath. |

That deal with Related led to another with REBNY, with the two groups pledging to join forces when their policy interests align.
We want a mayor tthat understands how the real estate industrycity. There were so many major projects that are being talked about, certainly the Empire Station Complex and 10 high-rises [planned for the area around Penn Station]. Not to diminish the personal loss and the crisis that so many families, including myself — I lost my brother in January — that the pandemic has caused. But it also has created an economic crisis in the city. We really need a mayor to focus on creating good middle-class careers. Construction is the right place to do it.
We endorsed Scott Stringer largely because of the long relationship that we had with him. As comptroller, he did a number of significant things for the Building Trades’ unions in the city. We believe very firmly in the principles that are held within our Constitution, and that is the right to due process. This does not diminish, in any way, any of the allegations from the women. But there has to be a process in which all of the facts are heard. And so we did not have a knee-jerk reaction just to say, “Well, there’s an allegation, and therefore we are no longer going to support this individual.” I know many people did, but when you do that, then there’s an immediate assumption of guilt. And that’s not our system.
Gov. Cuomo has long been an ally of the Building Trades. What was your reaction made against him? Has your relationship with the governor changed at all since these allegations came to light?
It has not changed my relationship at all with the governor, nor the Building Trades. Let me go back to what I was talking about when we were talking about the allegations with Scott [Stringer]. We don’t diminish these allegations, but we fully believe in the process.
The governor has been, in my opinion, probably the best governor for the building trades unions and for the state of New York in terms of building public infrastructure. We’re working closely with the second floor on issues that are good for the state and good for construction and good for development. Nothing has changed.
These are all hypothetical questions. We would never make a decision until we had all the facts. But as of now, we support Gov. Cuomo, no question about it, we’re with him.
What was your reaction to the arrest of James Cahill, the president of the state Building Trades?
The allegations are very disappointing. Immediately, I started convening meetings to re-establish, number one, that there were no issues at the state council itself. And number two, that we are going to survive, and we’re going to function as normal and we are also not going to be knocked off our legislative agenda. I had countless conversations within the industry, with real estate developers, with contractors’ associations, with elected officials. I was very concerned about re-establishing trust, not only within the affiliates of the state council but within the industry, and within the legislature.
The takeaway from that was, there’s nothing that replaces hard work. Those were days in the office at 7 a.m., and we didn’t leave the office till 8, 9 o’clock. There were so many things that were so complicated that were going on, trying to maintain some semblance of order at the local union and trying to keep things as operating as normally as possible.
It’s starting to happen. We see in the Ironworkers, there’s an African American business manager now, which is wonderful to see. We see many organizers. We have local unions that have women organizers and business agents. So again, it’s an evolution, right? Leadership in unions evolves from and rises up from the membership. As the demographics of the membership changes, you’re going to see more and more diversity. And then ultimately, you’ll start to see that diversity emerge into leadership, and it’s beginning to happen now. It’s a process, to be honest with you.
You started out as a forklift operator. What drew you to construction?
I called her and I asked her out and we went to see “Jaws” on July 6, 1976. As it turned out, I might add, she had been on a previous date and had already seen the movie, but she didn’t tell me till afterwards. But I got her.
So, in the process of doing your friend a favor, he did you a favor? |

en | N/A | N/A | CON ARTIST. But her wristband made the console…
When the security guard at the door motioned for her to wave her wrist in front of the sensor, Grace Grayson's heartbeat sped up. What if she somehow had a faulty band?Or the one they mailed was a prank of some sort to embarrass her?
"I am a proud South Asian man," Irrfan said, "but you are welcome to call me by the white boy name of Jimmy Olsen as we embark on this journalistic assignment together. Lois."
"Do you think she will want to talk about Alpha 12, or Pillars of Creation at all?Do you think she would prefer to discuss her work on stage?
"Where's your journalistic integrity, Patel?I'll ask her whatever suits the story. We're not there to make her feel comfortable. We're not her friends."
"Me too!" she said, giving her squeakiness a pass on behalf of shipping. "I have written …so much fanfic about them. This is just …wow. You are so talented!"
"I have so many crushes right now," Grace said in return, and felt her cheeks get hot. But she grinned. "On this painting, on you, on the con."
"I'm interviewing Augusta Geraldine Sparks for the paper," she said. "I have ten minutes with her this afternoon. I've been trying not to act like a fan all day so this is a good outlet before I have to be professional."
"I knew this was where the action would be," Grace said. "Sure the celebrities are fun, but I always have the best time in and among the creators. In fact, could I talk to you for the article?It might give you some good exposure."
"That would be excellent. I am local, or local-ish, so people knowing who I am around here is a big part of my goal today."
"Missed it!" Irrfan was wheezing. "Took forever …to find you."
"It's in five minutes. The Augusta panel."
"Well you still have time to prep for that," Sam said. She was a part of this now, and all three of them reassured each other it was all fine and good and nothing cataclysmic would come from this minor oversight. "You know her career, you didn't even need to sit in on the panel for a recap."
"I know, I just thought …" Grace started to say, but cut herself off. Was she being too familiar with this beautiful artist she just met?"I guess I wanted to get my bearings by being in the same room with her before I had to do the interview, and converse with her in a professional and sane manner."
"Is this going to be a problem?" Irrfan said, folding his arms over his costume. "I don't want to be embarrassed. Or embarrassed for you. Pillars of Creation is my favorite show and I really don't want to let it down."
"Two phone chargers, a backup recorder, a notebook, six pens, my iPad, notecards with pre-written questions," she rattled off. "How much more prepared do you want me to be?"
"This is a big deal for me, you know," he told her while they waited to be let in. "Calvin is the regular A&E photographer, but his sister is getting married this weekend. He was so mad at her for scheduling it this weekend. I was so happy I sent her a gift off her registry."
"My favorite show growing up was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," Irrfan said. "It was one of the only shows that didn't have ten white teenagers in it. Nobody looked like me, but nobody looked like anyone. At least, I don't know any humanoid turtles."
"I got lucky because in the nineties they always had a token black girl. The Craft, The Spice Girls …even Pillars of Creation has Selene. But then, if I didn't like the character, I had to identify with her."
"Living in reality means there are limitations," Grace told Irrfan, the two of them still waiting outside the door. "But living in fandoms means everything is possible. The good guys always win."
We knew about these rumors, obviously. They were swirling around Tumblr and Reddit and there were plenty of opinions about the possibility of Alpha 12 stepping into another iconic sci-fi role. Was she too old?Was she too inexperienced, since she hadn't worked that steadily for ten years?Did it matter?
"I'm sorry," she shook her head. "I'm so sorry. It's just …that role was something my sister really wanted me to get. And it reminds me of her."
Grace dug into her bag to check her notes. Augusta Geraldine Sparks was, as everybody knew, a twin. Her sister looked just like her, but more natural — gray hair and a notable lack of botox. She had been Augusta's publicist slash assistant slash agent at various stages in her career until she'd died of cancer only four months ago. Four months, that's what Grace had in her notes. As in: don't bring it up. But Irrfan and Grace didn't know the Commander Callisto rumors would technically count as "bringing it up."
This big movie, part of the monolith Wonder franchise, would cement Augusta's place in the fandom universe. According to a recent interview, she had hesitated to take the meetings or go to the auditions, but her sister had pushed her to explore the possibility and, to quote: "invest in her future as an actor."
"It would be amazing to be part of another beloved science fiction story. The Wonder universe is so detailed and contains such depth of character — I am honored my name is even being rumored."
"Grace," Irrfan said from a distance, and Grace looked up to see him at the end of the aisle. "We have to get up to the green room."
"Will it be green?
"Big, big fan," he said. "I'm Grace's photographer and couldn't resist totally fanboying over you today!"
Her first five questions were a retrospective all about Pillars of Creation. Grace pulled Augusta's answers apart like taffy in her mind. Would the angle be that a washed-up actress was on the circuit to celebrate her glory days?
"Congrats, Captain Callisto!"
"You're officially a Wonder woman now, Gus."
"Thanks for signing this morning, all docs are in order. Drinks when you're back from the slog!"
"Text from Ken Forsythe wow we did it baby you're the next Callisto and Wonder will be the next phase of your career I knew you could do it and those nerds will lose their minds once they find out."
"Can you confirm that you will be playing Captain Callisto in the next Wonder movie?"
"I'm sure you can imagine I have a team of people waiting to make this announcement officially," Augusta said. "I guess that was off the record. Sorry. Let's call that a moment between friends?"
"Let's talk about it in the hypothetical," Grace said as if talking to a child. "Since we're at a comics convention and all. What are you a fan of?"
"Well," Augusta said. She spoke slowly too, like she was really considering. Weighing her options. "I have to admit, I wouldn't have been aware of the property if the movies hadn't been so successful. You know, when I was growing up we had a lot stricter social expectations — about what you were supposed to do. That's why you get movies like High School Musical — written by someone who grew up in the eighties when it really was a big deal to sing in musicals and play sports. I mean, nowadays, who cares?I have a neighbor who is in high school. She is constantly telling me how fake that movie is, and things like Mean Girls. Your generation is much nicer …"
She was rambling, and nervous, and dropping titles of very odd movies into this conversation. Grace kept her face blank, taking notes and trying not to giggle. Who was the actress now?
"My sister, she was a comic book fan. She loved all this stuff — and she would be so jealous to be in your position. Attending a convention like this, being among other fans, talking to people she admired. I guess in some ways she has always influenced my choices. Alpha 12 was a leap for me, someone who didn't grow up on sci-fi and was a little more concerned with Shakespeare and Mamet and Chekhov and Beckett …I thought to be a serious actress you had a certain canon to respect. But I got to do serious acting on Pillars."
"I was initially only motivated to try for the part thanks to her," Augusta said, her voice becoming higher pitched and a little strained. "But now, I feel my own connection to it. I guess that's the power of fandom — it can create new fans even out of people who had counted themselves out a long time ago."
"Do you want a picture with me?" Augusta held out both hands to Grace. "I feel like we really bonded in here."
He ran after her as she explained. "Email Jane immediately and tell her I have the scoop of the century. I will send her all my notes and recordings."
"Jane said she can hold print space if you file in 20 minutes," Irrfan read off of his phone. "Is it print worthy?"
"It's a whole magazine worthy," Grace assured him. "This will be no trailer react or listicle about the best shows to watch about horses, let me tell you."
All the years Grace had spent working in news prepared her to be quick, but she had to be one hundred percent accurate and extremely thorough in putting together this story. After downing two cans of Coke and inhaling a packet of peanut butter M&Ms, it was done. She sent it to Jane, then turned her tablet toward Irrfan. "You deserve to be the next person to know."
"This is massive," he said. "We have to push it."
"I'm so glad you're here," Sam said breathlessly. "Something insane happened."
"Grace," Sam said. "She signed it." |

I had to hide it at the garage fridge because he had 2 cups in one sitting yesterday and had another after dinner.ow. </s> There have been dozens of versions of “A Christmas Carol” since Charles Dickens first published the classic tale of redemption in 1843.
The Mukwonago Players are staging a musical version, called “Scrooge! The Musical,” e dramatic musical was first presented as a 1970 film, “Scrooge,” starring Albert Finney. The stage musical followed in 1992.
The musical embellishes scenes of Scrooge’s hard-hearted business dealings as he goes around the town square with his ledger, reminding merchants of the money he is owed, dismissing their pleas for more time. Here we meet a whole host of characters, including Tom Jenkins (Bill Payne), who returns in Act 2 to lead a rousing “Thank You Very Much,” in which Scrooge’s borrowers are all rejoicing in his death.
Marley’s (Dave Loomis) appearance in Scrooge’s bedroom is preceded by some nice effects, but his presence is not quite so scary. Loomis sings well in “Make the Most of This World,” in a scene with the phantoms that is more whimsical than frightening.
Shelly Waltho (Trevor’s wife) is a fitting Ghost of Christmas Present with a lovely voice as she brings Scrooge to scenes from his childhood, including the party at his employer, Fezziwig’s, played with verve and some really sharp, well-executed dance moves by Kyle Forster.
Slattery, who also plays the young adult Ebenezer, renders a passionate “You-You” as he is rejected by Isabel (Kelly Kuczkowski) for loving his money more than her. Slattery and Cefalu provide nice harmony on the pleasant, heartfelt tune.
Perhaps the most fun and lively scene is “The Minister’s Cat,” a sort of musical chairs game played by Scrooge’s nephew and his guests. The group handles all the tricky movements of the delightful number wonderfully.
That lively number is followed by “Thank You Very Much,” featuring some of Peggy Morgan-Strimple’s spirited choreography.
As with the Marley scene, the scene with The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come includes some of Craig Forster’s fog and lightning effects. Cefalu shows off his strong, pitch-perfect vocals in the “I’ll Begin Again” song, which completes Scrooge’s transformation.
The finale is a departure from most versions, as Scrooge appears as Father Christmas, a Santa Claus-like character, and goes about town forgiving debts, helping the poor with donations and delivering a load of gifts to the Cratchit family. This is a joyous celebration and Cefalu embodies Scrooge’s new joie de vivre as he becomes “light as a feather” whirling about the town square in a state of pure joy.
Some scenes perhaps could’ve been more intimate in staging, maybe using more focused lighting, such as the Marley and Cratchit home segments. Also, from my vantage, it was easy to see some characters behind the scenes, which affected the dramatic impact. And while Slattery did a fine job with both Scrooge’s nephew and the young adult Scrooge, it might have been better to have separate performers for those important roles.

At the high end, Ultra HD streaming uses anywhere from 7-9 GB an hour.
You watch maybe an hour or two a night. Come home from work, eat dinner and pop on your favourite show, or maybe a movie after the meal. Total usage of 14 – 20 hours a week (56 – 80 hours a month). From low data to high, that’s a range of 16.8 – 560 GB extra a month 1000 GBthem at a decent price – meaning bundles are okay!

en | N/A | N/A | The limited loss of bone mass is called osteopenia and does not have serious consequences.
The increased loss, however, leads to osteoporosis, a pathological condition for the bone tissue and with serious risks for fractures, mainly of the hips, spine, and wrists.
Bones are a "living organism" that is constantly rebuilt through osteoclasts (a bone-dissolving mechanism) and osteoblasts (a bone-resynthesizing mechanism).
The two mechanisms are in balance, which can be disturbed for many reasons (menopause, genetic type, hormonal disorder, poor diet, smoking, lack of exercise, etc.) and lead to bone loss.
Osteoporosis is more common in menopausal women but is a disease that also occurs in men.
preventively before menopause, especially in those who have parents with osteoporosis problems, so that they can be compared with those that will be done at the beginning of menopause.
with established osteopenia or osteoporosis before the beginning of treatment, so that the effectiveness of the treatment regimen can be evaluated with new measurements after treatment.
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alkaline phosphatase electrophoresis: Screening for possible hyperfunction of bone synthesis (anabolic) mechanisms.
Vitamin D3-25(OH): Participates in the absorption of calcium from the bones. Latest statistics show deficiencies as high as 80% in the general population.
T3 (triiodothyronine), fT4 (free thyroxine), TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone): Check for possible overactive thyroid that increases the rate of bone resorption.
Parathyroid hormone (PTH): Key hormone regulating calcium metabolism produced by the parathyroid glands. A necessary examination in people with thyroidectomy.
FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and estradiol (E2): their measurement is carried out in women approaching menopause and is a measure of women's hormonal adequacy. In cases of particularly heavy family medical history and with indications of future osteoporosis, these tests can determine the time to start hormone replacement therapy.
Albumen electrophoresis: is performed to check and rule out serious metabolic diseases, which can affect bone metabolism.
CTx (collagen type I C-terminal telopeptide), and NTx (collagen type I N-terminal telopeptide): are metabolites and elements of bone degradation. Measuring them in 2-hour urine shows whether daily bone loss is within normal levels.
Osteocalcin (BGP): by measuring it, we control the rate of bone synthesis, and is an important prognostic indicator of osteoporosis.
24-hour urine cortisol (Cort-U-24h) can reveal possible adrenal hyperfunction, which negatively affects bone health.
The measurement of substances in the 2-hour urine requires the use of a preservative, which can be obtained from our laboratory.
The results for Osteopenia - Osteoporosis are given within 3 working days. |

What to Look at When Hiring an Effective Plumbing service
When selecting, request evidence of a certificate. Many states require plumbing contractors to be licensed, as well as they typically give a number you could call to confirm that the permit is current and that there are no active problems against it. Any plumber you consider must at the same time hold a current workers' compensation policy and also a minimum of 500,000 liability insurance coverage. All states issue plumbing-contractor licenses, as well as the licensing board can confirm a plumbing technician's authenticity.

en | N/A | N/A | FIFA 2022 - WINNING NATION QATAR: Model stadium to be home for Doha Players
Model stadium to be home for Doha Players
The Doha Showcase Stadium was designed by British based Arup Associates and constructed over a three-month period last year
Publish Date: Thursday,16 June, 2011, at 02:28 AM Doha Time

Doha Players’ mission to find a new permanent home may lead to them gaining use of the Doha Showcase Stadium, according to the group’s chairman, who said that the move could potentially go ahead by the end of the year.
The showcase stadium was constructed to demonstrate durthat technology could be employed to control high temperatures during matches, and having served its purpose it is currently lying unused.
The s.
The showcase’s groundbreaking solar power technology was designed to prove that energy can be used in carbon neutral ways to prevent summer temperatures from rendering impossible the hosting of sporting events in Qatar during this part of the year.
As the Showcase Stadium currently belongs to the 2022 Bid Committee, which is no longer in operation after the successful award of the tournament to Qatar, the Players are currentlimed at providing them with a facility they have desperately needed since 2005.
Doha Players chairman Peter Phillips told Gulf Times that discussions on the matter are ongoing but expressed his hope that the move could take place towards the end of this year.
“It would be a major boost to the Doha Players – we really need our own facility and we have been working on getting one for many years now,” he said.
“It would make staging productions, organising live music shows and hosting other events much easier, and would mean that we could hold all our equipment, costumes and other kit in the same place,” added Phillips.
At the moment, the group struggles to find rehearsal space and arenas in which to stage their performances. They have been provided with a villa by Qatar Foundation, but the location does not allow them to stage major productions, which they aim to do three times a year.
The 500-seater stadium and the technology encompassed in its design were a major aspect of Qatar’s winning bid, and it seems fitting that they would become a significant part of community life as part of the bid’s legacy.
While any specific details remain unclear, officials suggest that the likelihood of the move continues to increase as discussions gain momentum.
Although Qatar Foundation was unable to comment on the move, a source confirmed that negotiations in this regard are in progress. |

Brava Theater in the Mission
This summer, Brava! For Women in the Arts will premiere one film and two plays as part of the theater’s Summer of Xicanas series. Two of the events examine Argentina’s Dirty War, a period in the 70s and 80s when the country’s military dictatorship persecuted tens of thousands suspected political opponents.
The first is the film “Observando al Observador (Observing the Observer)”, which premieres in the United States on June 21. The documentary is the work of first-time director Malena Juanatey, who followed United States citizens Olga Talamante and Patricia Erb in the aftermath of their torture in Argentina during the period.
In the play “Ghost Limb”, which premieres on July 6th and runs until the 23rd, playwright Marisela Treviño Orta’s uses the Dirty War to reimagine the Greek myth of Persephone; when one woman’s son is “disappeared” by the government — a tactic often used during that period, when suspected political dissident often went missing — winter falls over the world.

en | N/A | N/A | I love golden retriever
We are getting a puppy in a few weeks. This is very informative. Thank you!
Really appreciated the detailed and honest information. Thank you!
I prefer field bred, athletic, lean types much more than the "Newfoundland" style of show dogs.
I owned three golden retrievers I would never own any other breed all true what they say about them their personality temperament loyalty playfulness and lovingness. All three of my dogs absolutely love the water they would dive in a wet washcloth if they could.
Only 8-10 years :(? can they stay more, please..
Gawd, he's dull.
Everyone I think has had that ONE dog that could never be topped and mine was a Golden . He was smart well mannered , loyal and loving.
i don’t deserve animals 😭
only thing i don’t like about this bread is it’s not guard dog 🐕
His goldens are gorgeous
My Golden retriever just passed away 4 weeks ago from cancer ( she was 6 😭 miss her) but I'm about to get another one in two days 😁
8 to 10 years oh my 🙁 i hope my baby lives longer. That's so short! I will love every moment with her. I love my golden. She's beautiful and loving♡♡♡ and cuddly. She loves my son
My goldie is an English cream, he is only 19 months old and weighs 45kgs, which is about 100lbs 😂
Gorgeous breed!!
My GR she fetches 9 different items in home. So smart.
Superb video, thank you so much. Great to see a true breeder that cares and knows their dogs.
The absolute best dogs ever, hands down. We have 4 Golden boys, ages 9-1/2 years, 2-1/2 years, and 2 puppies, ages 9 months and 3 months. Sadly, we just recently lost our 11-year-old Golden, Tucker, to hemangiosarcoma this past January, which was very devastating (hence the recent arrival of our new 3-month-old puppy). We show our Goldens in conformation and they absolutely love to work. They will do anything to please you. We've owned other breeds, but there is nothing like a Golden…or 4 or 5. We will never be without a pack of them. Life is much more fun with them in it and I can't even begin to imagine living without them.
He was loyal and loving to the very end.
You cannot ask for a better companion than a Golden.
Love the golden retriever! Thanks for sharing. We got our first golden retriever last fall 2018 and sure do |

en | N/A | N/A | Ct - a. While management failure does also play a part, it is money that makes any business worthwhile and gets it off the ground. At the same time, business franchising is a popular wayand for a variety of reasons business franchising start-ups tend to be viewed more favourably by banks and investors. There are numerous key business reasons for this bias.
By virtue of being a business franchise, any opportunity of this nature requiring money has already been proven to work in another geographical area. Someone else has already demonstrated that the business model has the ability to work and generate revenues, and as such it has been franchised out to other business people. As such, banks tend to consider the business model less of a risk, allowing them to base their decisions on the faith they have in the individual in front of them rather than the specific intricacies of the business model.
Secondly business franchising is given more priority in funding because there is support available from the parties that have already made a success of the business. Because help is on hand and usually some form of training is provided, there's no trial and error with a franchise. The franchisees know exactly what to do and how to do when it comes to making a success of the business, which translates into a lower risk proposition and makes them instantly more creditworthy. The only consideration running through a bank manager's mind is whether or not offering, and with a business franchising opportunity and the support inherent in that, they find their answer more readily.
Another key reason business franchising received funding preference from banks and other lending institutions is that there is already a degree of goodwill associated with the franchise name. This means that the business franchising opportunity will benefit from the branding and marketing previously invested in by the franchisor, which will give the new business a lift when it opens. Simply because a business has a recognisable identity and has previous goodwill, it is less of a risk and less likely to struggle to find those all important initial paying customers and lenient suppliers.
Business franchising as a business model makes sense, and everybody on all sides of the table are kept happy. For the banks and money lenders, business franchising provides a much lower risk way of investing in businesses, and a much more guaranteed way of earning money on the finance offered. As such, banks are muchs than in other business ventures, making it far easier to raise the necessary capital to start up and survive the initial few years. |
en | N/A | N/A | Man, this week has been crazy with work and just general obligations. Four miles yesterday and Tony decided he would come with me to keep me company and so I wouldn’t have to worry about it getting dark. I immediately thought, “screw running, let’s get a bottle of wine.” But we had our running clothes on so we hit the trail.
It was a great evening for running, 65 degrees and misty but the trail was almost completely deserted. For the first time all week I felt pretty good running and it turned into a good time (although I’m still wondering about the young guy with a bear head and hands on running down the trail with his friends). And by the time we were done, the stress of the week was gone and I was so glad I decided to go ahead and get my miles in.

en | N/A | N/A | Before I started doing something about this deficiency, I was having a couple of symptoms that the deficiency brings without even knowing it.
Some of the major symptoms of a Vitamin D deficiency include getting sick often, tiredness (which did not pair well with my anemia), depression, bone and back pain, impaired wound healing, and muscle pain.
The tiredness was what impacted me the most. I would go to work and, even on a chill day where I was just at my desk, I would come home and be so mentally and physically exhausted that I simply couldn't do anything for the house or even for my blog and YouTube channel. It was causing extra stress in my life, so I decided that enough was enough and that I would try to take an over-the-counter vitamin D that would help address the issues I was facing.
This is the bottle I picked up and I still have plenty pills left after taking one each day. But, I was wondering why this deficiency was even a problem.
One thing that I found was that Vitamin D obviously occurs naturally in the sun. I don't spend a ton of time in the sun. I'm either at work in my office or I'm at home in my house. I have come to hate too much sun, because I burn so easily.
I've really noticed a change in my fatigue levels. When I come home, I don't feel like crashing right away like I used to. Instead, I like to get the dishes in the dishwasher, wash some clothes, or create more content for you all!
I'm glad that I tried this because I'm feeling much better. Unfortunately, I don't know the statistical changes in my levels, but I look forward to learning that later!
MY FOUR HEALTH AND FITNESS GOALS FOR 2019
If you've been on the blog for a while, you probably know that 2018 was a transformative year for me. I've lost nearly 30 pounds just by changing my diet. However, I'm at a plateau in my weightloss journey.
When I was getting in to fitness, I bought myself an exercise ball. They are hard to come by for my weight, but I found one that will do the job.
TAKE BETTER CARE OF MY SKIN
To begin, it just doesn't look cute. I already have reddish skin thanks to my Irish heritage, but the disorder makes it worse! The main reason, though, is that I am positive that a ton of bacteria and germs are crawling through my system when I do pick at these things. Wish me luck and pray for me as I go on this journey!
I feel like this is on everyone's New Years Resolution list. I was going to the gym pretty regularly before we adopted our dog. Now, I spend a lot of time at home. I do this because we are crating her during the day and I feel awful for leaving her locked up in a cage longer than I have to.
I do want to either take her on more walks or play with her outside more. If I can manage to, I would love to get to the gym a few times a week, especially now that we have a gym with a pool in it. I think pool exercises might be a great option for me!
AN UPDATE ON MY HEALTH JOURNEY
I noticed during Blogtober that I haven't really given an update on my personal health journey since August. That's because September and October were both rather hectic.
September and October were both very busy and crazy. In September, my grandfather landed in the hospital for more than a month where he battled pneumonia. Now, he is in another hospital in a rehab of sorts. He is still not home, which makes it difficult for my mom and grandma to see him.
At the same time, my mom was in a boot and then in a cast after foot surgery in early September. I took a bit of time off from work to go help her at her house, which is more that two and a half hours away from mine.
Right after her surgery, I received word that my job was closing down to allow everyone to evacuate before Hurricane Florence hit the area. I was at home for two more weeks. Luckily, I had my computer and was able to keep blogging!
And in October, I participated in Blogtober, where you blog something new each day. This took up a lot of time, as I would do posts like recipes where I actually made everything so I could get pictures!
Back in early October, I was feeling SUPER sick. It all kicked after my birthday on the 1st. I ended up taking a day and some change off from work.
But, other than that, everything kind of stayed at a stand still during September and October. The stress and business of the past few months resulted in me making fewer healthy choices. However, I only ended up gaining a little weight because I was often pushing someone around the hospital or making grocery runs, so it all kind of balanced out.
But I was making healthier choices in the months prior to this. Jonathan and I would do more things together, like the photo to the left when we went hiking. That was a fun day and it felt good to be active. After I got sick, though, I stopped making the best choices, which resulted in some weight gain on my part.
HEALTHIER HABITS I'VE KEPT UP WITH
While I haven't been eating a low-carb diet recently, I have been drinking more water and fewer "regular" sodas, meaning that I've switched to diet. I've heard people say that diet drinks aren't all that good for you, but I think they are better than other sodas, which will add more than 200 calories to your diet each day.
I do think that this has made a bit of a difference. I think that, if I went back to drinking soda like I used to drink it, I'd rapidly regain the weight.
I plan to move forward in the cooler months with my fitness plans. I want to lose this weight for a number of reasons, but mostly for my health. I don't want to have a number of complications a few years from now because of my weight.
Last week, I had met my 30-pound weight loss goal, but I lost it when Halloween came and I started to get candy and other things for myself or from others.
I plan to revamp my weight loss goal plan and to make a better effort to take care of myself. Aside from my physical health, I've also taken some precautions to better my mental health. I've been thinking through my feelings a lot more, and we've also been attending a church that makes my heart so happy! I'm excited about the things to come and I look forward to continuing to better my health!

I'VE LOST 20 POUNDS IN 7 WEEKS!
If you follow me on this blog, or if you're subscribed to the We're the Allison's YouTube page, you'll know that I have already met one of my fitness goals (lose 15 pounds). In order to make things more interesting, I decided to give myself non-food rewards when I meet a fitness goal.
15 LBS: NEW WORKOUT OUTFIT
I've reached a new fitness goal! I've lost 20 pounds. I actually hit this marker a few weeks ago, and have been plateauing on my current weight loss plan, which means it is time to kick butt in the gym! However, the lack of further weight loss can be attributed to stress and eating not-so-great things a few weekends in a row due to family surgeries and doctor's appointments.
So, because of the business of life and finances, I haven't actually gone to get my pedicure, but I'm hoping to head to a salon sometime today to make that happen. As you can see by my chart above, I have highlighted my "goal rewards" in yellow and orange.
Yellow rewards are smaller rewards like $10 for anything I want, or a new pair of leggings, or something on the cheaper side. Orange rewards are bigger rewards like the pedicure or a new FitBit.
The next goal is 30 pounds and I will be able to get $10 for anything I want. I think I may do $10 of lottery tickets just to make it fun and create more content for our YouTube channel.
TIPS FOR WEIGHT LOSS WHEN YOU'RE BUSY/STRESSED
As I mentioned, I feel like I was making some bad decisions with what I put in my body over the past few weekends, but I'm determined to keep going. It is important to note that, while I made some bad decisions, it didn't negatively effect my weight loss. I actually only gained a little under a pound, which I've since lost by making good eating decisions.
1. MAKE THE HEALTHIEST POSSIBLE DECISION
When Jonathan and I are on the road, we often find ourselves in drive-thrus or at restaurants with menus that are full of unhealthy options. I try my best to avoid grain products, like the basket of rolls or the tortilla chips. This isn't to say I never have them, but when I do, I make sure to balance.
Generally, a protein and veggie is a good idea when eating out. If you're going to a fast food place, chicken strips are almost always better than burgers because you're avoiding extra toppings and buns, which will only add to your calorie count.
2. BALANCE WHAT YOU DO AND WHAT YOU EAT
When you're working to lose weight, balance is at the center of it all. If you eat a carb-loaded at one meal (like cheesy fries, which I swear is my Kryptonite), you should probably try to avoid carb-invested foods for the rest of the day.
Additionally, if you're splurging on your calories, you need to try to move more. This works with the calories in, calories out mentality. When trying to lose weight, you should always strive to eat fewer calories than you burn.
3. DON'T DRINK YOUR CALORIES
Even before I started this weight journey, I was trying to put an end to drinking my calories. I was a frequent at the Starbucks that I pass on my way to work, and I often had a sugary-delicious drink with my take out for lunch.
Water is essential, and if you drink two sodas a day, you're probably already using 500 calories of the standard 2,000-calorie daily diet on drinks. I have been drinking mostly water and will occasionally reach for a diet drink. I hear they aren't good for other reasons, but they satisfy the need for caffeine and carbonation without costing you a single calorie. In fact, the only thing on the nutrition label for most sodas is sodium, which can be found in those little flavor packets you add to your water.

en | N/A | N/A | PITTSBURGH—Jason Spezza might play in two days, and he might not. The tone Ottawa Senators coach Paul MacLean uses when he talks about his All-Star center, though, has taken a positive turn.
Spezza, out since Feb. 1 surgery on a herniated disc in his back, will again practice with the team when it returns to Ottawa on Saturday, and with a few more reachable hurdles, could play in Game 3 of Ottawa's series against the Pittsburgh Penguins the following day.
"If he's available to us, it's Jason Spezza," MacLean said. "We're going to have him in the lineup."

"I know I'm gonna be there to watch him," MacLean said.
The Senators managed to make the playoffs without Spezza and defenseman Erik Karlsson for the majority of the season, thanks in part to MacLean, who is a Jack Adams finalist for the second consecutive year. |
en | N/A | N/A | T in early November featured a widely publicized debate: "Biosimilars…To Switch, or Not To Switch?
During his presentation at the FTC workshop, Mark Merritt, theescribed, in the commercial (non-Medicare) space, "Each payer determines what percentage of rebates is passed through and how much they want PBMs to keep. Ninety percent of rebates are passed through to the plan sponsors, but about half of our large clients/large employers are increasingly requesting that 100 percent of rebates be passed through."
Though this requirement could positively impact some patients' wallets after visiting the pharmacy, a downfall to this requirement is that all beneficiaries would see increases in premiums. Similarly, the lack of flexibility in how sponsors choose to use manufacturer rebates could also lead to less incentive to participate in the Part D program. But, as CMS emphasizes, it's not requiring 100 percent of a rebate to be passed on at the POS; rather, the end goal is to achieve "an appropriate balance between these outcomes … |

en | N/A | N/A | I'm trying to make a particle emitter attachment that requires the use of the Accel vector. My problem is that I cannot get it to push locally by avatar rotation and not sim rotation. I've implemented llGetRot and it does work but only for the rotation of the prim when the script first starts and it does not follow it after that. If I put in a blank root prim and used ||GetRootRotation instead would that follow the root's rotation constantly or will it only check upon startup like ||GetRot is doing? Is there an extra bit of code I need to add?
llLookAt(<1.0,0.0,0.0>*llGetRot(),1.0,0.5)
If you are updating with a timer as the avatar moves so that the script always has a current value of the av's global rotation to work with, I think the emitter prim ought to track with its +Z axis pointing forward all the time.
ETA: That will position the prim. The acceleration applied to particles shouldn't need a rotation correction at all. I think that acceleration is always applied in the local rotation frame of the prim, IIRC.
ETA2: Oh, duh. You said this is an attachment. I was thinking it was a follower. An attachment will rotate with your av anyway. No magic needed.
OK, forget my earlier post. I just tried this as an experiment. It's not the prettiest particle display in the world, but if you put it in a prim, point its +Z axis forward, and attach it to your av (I attached mine to the stomach), it produces a particle stream that always points away from your av as you turn. Turn it on with /8 ON and off with /8 OFF.
default { state_entry() { llListen(8,"",llGetOwner(),""); } listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string msg) { if ( llToUpper(msg) == "OFF") { llParticleSystem( [ ] ); llSetTimerEvent(0.0); } else if (llToUpper(msg) == "ON") { llSetTimerEvent(1.0); } } timer() { llParticleSystem([ PSYS_SRC_TEXTURE, llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, 0), PSYS_PART_START_SCALE, <0.051, 1.0, FALSE>, PSYS_PART_END_SCALE, <0.05, 1.0, FALSE>, PSYS_PART_START_COLOR, <.25,.25,1.0>, PSYS_PART_END_COLOR, <.75,0.00,0.00>, PSYS_PART_START_ALPHA, (float) 1.0, PSYS_PART_END_ALPHA, (float) .5, PSYS_SRC_BURST_PART_COUNT, (integer) 5, PSYS_SRC_BURST_RATE, (float) 0.1, PSYS_PART_MAX_AGE, (float) 0.5, PSYS_SRC_PATTERN, (integer) 8, PSYS_SRC_BURST_SPEED_MIN, (float) 0.00, PSYS_SRC_BURST_SPEED_MAX, (float) 5.0, PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_BEGIN, (float) 0.00 * PI, PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_END, (float) 0.00 * PI, PSYS_SRC_ACCEL, < 20.00, 00.00, 0.0>*llGetRot(), PSYS_PART_FLAGS, (integer) ( 0 | PSYS_PART_INTERP_COLOR_MASK | PSYS_PART_INTERP_SCALE_MASK | PSYS_PART_EMISSIVE_MASK | PSYS_PART_FOLLOW_VELOCITY_MASK )]); } }
You could get it to track your movements even closer by speeding up the timer, at the potential cost of some lag.
if Roligs suggestion doenst work, it might help if we know what you are trying to accomplish, and what attach point it needs to work from, and exactly how it's failing.
... and you may want to use PSYS_PART_FOLLOW_SRC_MASK
Basically I'm trying to make an emitter for smoke rings out of an avatars mouth. So in the code I have to keep the rings together for the most part so unfortunately Burst Speed must be the same and the angle Begin must be 1*PI, hence the issue with having to use accel to force the particle ring forward otherwise it just bursts outwards around the prim.
I don't know if that is somehow effecting GetRot so that it isn't working or not. I did start from scratch with the code posted and changed the particle settings to what is needed and it still headed for the global sim positioning instead of the avatar, even with a reset.
@ Annie, I'm glad you made it here :-) Note that the instructions to the particle-emitter are only executed once, however long the particles are emitted for. You will not be able to affect the behaviour of particles after they have been emitted. Then again, that's just like blowing your smoke ring and then walking/turning away from it. For EACH smoke-ring you need to calculate the direction, issue the particle-system command and then stop emitting particles with llParticleSystem([]);
@ Others - this is continuation of a question asked in the Answers section. The issue is that the PSYS_SRC_ACCEL rule of the particle system takes a vector parameter. Annie needs to know how to calculate that vector so it always accelerates the particles in the direction the avatar is facing.
(I need to run and it always takes me a couple of hours to get my head around (pun?) rotations each time I look at them again) |

en | N/A | N/A | Faith Academy’s Cab Booth to play football at Mary Hardin-Baylor
Posted on 27 February 2018. Tags: Faith Academy football, sports
Faith Academy of Marble Falls senior football player Cab Booth (seated, middle) signs hior as his parents, Jim and Angela Booth (seated), Faith Academy athletics director Randy Denton (standing, left), head football coach Pete Rhoades, former Flames head coaches Stephen Shipley and Russ Roberts, and sister, Seri, lookon Feb. 23.
Attending the signing ceremony were three former Flames head football coaches and current head coach Pete Rhoades. Booth played for all four coaches during his high school career.
The coaches all congratulated Booth for reaching his goal of playing college football, even though he had to overcome several obstacles that many other college players might never face.
In addition to playing for four head coaches, Booth had to learn several positions as well as a different offense and defense each of his four years on the team.
Faith Academy athletic director Randy Denton, who was the Flames head coach in 2015, commended Booth for his commitment to the program and his goal.
“Any of those things could have kept him from his ultimate goal,” Denton said, “but he held true to that.”
Booth believes his ability to adapt benefited him the most, especially when it came to playing under four different coaches in as many years.
“I created relationships with every coach and learned different offenses and defenses and different positions,” he said.
Booth said picking UMHB, located in Belton, was easy when he considered the Crusaders’ success. The program was the 2016 NCAA Division III national champion and has won at least 10 games in each of its past 13 years. It also has 14 American Southwest Conference titles.
He said “the facilities, the coaches, and the way they make you feel at home” were a few other reasons for choosing the university.
While Booth played receiver,r, and safety at Faith Academy, he’ll primarily be a receiver at UMHB.
“A lot of it is my ability to run routes and get open,” he said. “That’s been my ability: to find the open spots in the zone and separation.”
Flames head coach Pete Rhoades said Booth made it known to him very quickly that he desired to play college football.
During Booth’s senior year, the Flames had to cut the season short due to injuries and not being able to field a complete team, but that didn’t put a damper on his desire to play at the next level.
“He did what it took to fulfill that dream,” Rhoades said. “Because we had a shortened season, he wasn’t eligible for (all-district honors). God will take care of you. (Booth will) play on Saturdays and, hopefully, bring home a national championship.”
Stephen Shipley, who was the Flames’ head coach in 2016, said Booth friendship the youngster has with Hanner Shipley, Stephen’s son. Hanner, who is an offensive lineman at Louisiana Tech University, told his father Booth would play on the next level because of his work ethic.
“Cab does it all,” he said. “He’s a good Christian. He’ll get on the floor and wrestle with a 300-pound 6-foot-5 guy. He’ll wear you out. You never want to deny a kid the chance to work hard.”
The advice Russ Roberts, who was the Flames head coach from 2010-14, gave Booth was really more of reminder.
“It’s not an arrival; it’s an opportunity,” Roberts said as he turned to Booth. “It’s not the end but the beginning. He doesn’t move; you do.”
Denton joked that one of Booth’s annoying habits is his work ethic; he was always asking if he could go into the weight room to get in extra lifts.
“Those of you who have aspirations of playing college ball, all those things c in,” Denton said. “It’s easy to say, ‘I want to put the work in.’ The hard part is doing the work.”
The son of Angela and Jim Booth will either major in business or Biblical studies.

the generic IntMap is defined as such...
type IntMap<'t> = Map<int,'t>
It looks like F# deviated from the unusual type argument placement in OCaml.
for the original_bytes value I actually chose a byte array
In read_bytes it seemed more idiomatic to me to use Map.tryFind which returns an option value on which you can match whether something was found or not:
match Map.tryFind addr bytes.edits with
| (Some value) -> value
| None -> bytes.originalBytes.[addr]
All other bits stay more or less the same.
As a side note, the byte array that probably uses the .NET type for Array in the background already has an int index. I assume that such a structure is not available in OCaml. In some functional languages finding the element at index x is an O(n) operation in a typical list-like structure, that may also be the case in OCaml.
