This years Cannabis Legalization is here! With the 2016 elections over, we find ourselves with a list of new legal states. Probably the biggest of which is California. California makes up more than 1/10th of our population and has a huge influence over the country as a whole. Cannabis Legalization won here by a vote of 4,911,739 Yes to 3,854,453 No. This shows a huge change in attitude since the last time Cannabis legalization was voted on in California. This could be the grain of salt that brings the whole War on Cannabis to a crumbling defeat. With Proposition 64 we will see a lot of new regulations to the California industry and some are less happy about this than others. I can see both sides of this and understand what it means to each, but I also see the great impact this will have on our industry as a whole. We should begin seeing the tides turn towards federal legalization much quicker now than ever before! Other states to legalize today include Nevada, Maine, Massachusetts. This is bringing legalization further east and creating a larger influence in our favor with states that have only considered legalizing CBD and other marijuana and hemp derivatives. Possibly as important as all of this is that Florida OK'ed legalization of Medical Marijuana moving the south east closer to legalizing it further. This plus recent advancements to the Hemp industry in states like North Carolina we really are seeing the national shift move in our favor. Cannabis legalization is what Califari is all about and moving this industry and our freedom forward is our mission! |

The Internet’s Net Neutrality Day of Action is Underway
When talking about the regulation of the railroad industry, President Theodore Roosevelt said, “ Today our highway of commerce is the internet, and President Roosevelt’s belief still rings true — we must have an internet that is open to all on equal terms. Infirst voted to classify the internet as a utility, I was among the strongest supporters of their efforts to This decision was important because it allowed the creation of clear rules and regulations to ban paid prioritization of content and services across all internet platforms — including mobile broadband, which makes up 63% of all usage.
Would it be right to prioritize access to clean drinking water only to certain customers who are willing and able to pay a higher price? What about electricity? In an ageof commerce, education, and entertainment, that answer is a resounding “NO.” Lack of access to reliable internet can compound economic inequality and limit access to quality education.
Sadly, President Trump is yet again standing on the side of big business when it comes to net neutrality.moved swiftly to undue the progress we have made. He appointed Ajit Pai to head the FCC — a man who opposed and wants to replace Obama-era net neutrality protections, calling them “an intrusive example of government overreach.” Under President Trumps leadership, Pai has already begun the formal process to roll back net neutrality.
But we are not helpless, it is within our power to stand up and stop this attack on our right to a free and open internet. Today I join millions of Americans and over 80,000 websites including Google, Facebook, and Amazon in celebrating Net Neutrality Day and protesting online against the rollback of net neutrality rules. We need your voice now more than ever before. |

I genuinely struggled to get this column down to 10 songs and 10 songs only, but after much sweat and even more tears, I finally managed to do it. Just don't forget to stay hydrated while scrolling through the latest dose of We Are: The Guard's New Indie Music, featuring Clairo, Caroline Polachek, Soccer Mommy, and lots of others!
Clairo continues to mature into one of the finest songwriters of her generation on Sling – the highlight of which unquestionably comes in the form of "Amoeba." Produced by Bleachers mastermind Jack Antonoff, "Amoeba" is a jaunty, almost Elton John-esque listen to which you can happily tap your foot. Shadows are lurking not far beneath the lighthearted, funky grooves, however, with Clairo quietly reflecting on a life of loss and loneliness: "I can hope tonight goes diffеrently/But I show up to the party just to leavе."
Former Chairlift frontwoman Caroline Polachek continues to reinvent herself as a metaphysical pop star for the modern age on the sizzlingly groovy "Bunny Is a Rider." The follow-up to 2019's Pang hears Caroline embodying an alter ego by the name of – that's right – "Bunny" to deliver a fiery futuristic bop as produced by PC Music's Danny L Harle. "'Bunny Is a Rider' is a summer jam about being unavailable," says Caroline. "Bunny is slippery, impossible to get a hold of. A17 seconds."
Soccer Mommy is getting weird, and I'm quite frankly here for it, on her latest single "rom com 2004." Coming just over a year on from the release of the critically acclaimed color theory, "rom com 2004" starts out relatively prosaic, with Sophia Allison providing plenty of youthful melodrama as she sings: "I'd rather die in your arms than/Watch you move on without me." It's after the first chorus things get really freaky, however, with Soccer Mommy glitching the song beyond all recognition with lashings of degradation.
I didn't think I could love "Gone" any more than I already did, but it turns out I was very, very wrong. Just a couple of months on from sharing the soft, swooning original, Canada's Chiiild returns this Monday with an absolutely scintillant remix featuring We Are: The Guard favorite Jensen McRae. "'Gy," writes Chiiild's Yonatan "xSDTRK" Ayal of the remix, with Jensen lending a brand new sense of dynamism and radiance to the song as she sings of miscommunication in love.
Just a few weeks on from sharing the gargantuan "Jackie" – a song I said "could crack the sky in two" – Yves Tumor is back today with "Crushed Velvet." Featured on the Miami-born, Knoxville-raised act's brand new EP The Asymptotical World, "Crushed Velvet" is an electrifying rock-and-roll odyssey that ranks among Sean Bowie's most accessible offerings to date. That doesn't mean it isn't a total trip, though, with the thudding basslines and shimmering acoustics carrying "Crush Velvet" to a truly searing, blistering climax.
Having recently collaborated with The Cure's Robert Smith on "How to Not Drown," Scottish trio CHVRCHES continues the countdown to Screen Violence this Monday with the release of the dazzlingly vengeful "Good Girls." "We're told that 'Bad Things' don't happen to 'Good Girls.'
The HAIM sisters are once again fighting for a place in your summer playlists this Monday with their brand new single "Cherry Flavored Stomach Ache." Written f – directed by Augustine Frizzell and starring Shailene Woodley – "Cherry Flavored Stomach Ache" is a driving, propulsive dose of retro-pop that sounds like faded polaroid come to life as HAIM sings of A Very Teenage Heartbreak: "There's a boy with chеrry-colored lips/More like chеrry-flavored stomach ache."
The Queen returns! Just in time for the final weeks of July, Syd is delivering the summer queer love song we deserve today in the form of "Fast Car." ," says the Internet member of the follow-up to February's "Missing Out." Bringing together Syd's buttery smooth vocals with a swelteringly 80s production, "Fast Car" is practically made for cruising along the coast with your amour by your side. Oh, and that guitar solo? Prince is quaking!
They recently made their debut on We Are: The Guard with "Can I Leave Me Too?," and this Monday, Kansas City-based outfit The Greeting Committee continues to showcase their cosmic potential with "Float Away." Written by Addie Sartino about her battle with depression ("Glad it's raining so I don't have to go outside/And pretend I'm happy just to be alive," she sings in the utterly gutting opening verse), "Float Away" is a static, distorted swan dive into the modern affliction that possesses a kind of supernatural power about it.
Learn to love the struggle. It's this precise sentiment Lala Lala comes to terms with on her breathless latest single – the Kate Bush-inspired, Greek mythology-referencing "DIVER." The first offering unveiled from her forthcoming album I Want the Door To Open begins understated, with Lala singing of a situation seemingly just out of her reach. It's once the chorus hits, though, that "DIVER" finds its euphoria in its strife, with pummeling beats backing Lala as she sings of "swimming out towards my new life." |

Remember the 3 R’s. Reuse, Repair (Modify), Recycle
The clearance aisle at Walmart has been a rich hunting ground for cheap items. Found three boxes of Coleman water proof matches for $1, three yards of Flannel for homemade toilet paper for $2 (Check the fabric remnants) and a large fleece blanket for the car that was $3. I also trade homemade sourdough bread for a friend’s fresh milk. I once needed two extra large pet kennels for the chickens in case we need to relocate in a hurry. I posted that need on facebook (the devil, I know) and I got one for free and one for $10. People are willing to give away items if they know they will be useful to someone else.
You know I really like the Broke Prepper meme makes me think of fun times 🙂
OK back to work, Start out by helping older folks garden. They might appreciate the help and if you search the internet for “Propagating by Cuttings” you can ask for some cuttings of their old school Rose Bushes (Vit C rose hips and Natural Barbed Wire) they tend to be survivor plants! Maybe they can spare some seeds? Don’t have 12 bucks for a grape plant from Wal Mart? Grapes and many more food bushes are easy to propagate by cuttings and more than a few older folks have them in the back yard.
Helping other people is good for the soul and maybe they could refer you to someone else who is not using there old stuff. Be kind to everybody who is not dangerous I once had a homeless man show me where to get Muscadaine Grapes for cuttings.
A side note-I saw grape plants at Aldi this week for $6, I picked up a blackberry bush plant for the same price 🙂
There is an organization called freecycle.org. Just put the 3 ‘W’s in front of it. It’s an organization that has over 9000 groups worldwide. You can go to that site and put in your zip code and it will list the groups in your area. It was a grassroots effort to get people to recycle their old stuff that may not be good enough to sell but perfectly good to use. Items that people don’t want anymore they can offer up to anyone that wants the item. Everything has to be free, no selling allowed. In the past I picked up tomato cages, a bread machine still in the box, a garden weasel and a vacuum sealer. It’s a great way to de-clutter as well.
WOW!!!! just went to freecycle the latest listing in my area

pretty cool thanks Peanut Gallery
Great post and great suggestions everyone! We have a nice working budget and could make room for more prepping items, but my hubby is only halfway on board so I have to keep my prepping costs low (for now at least). I’ve been slowly accumulating extra food staples and am now the proud owner of 130lbs of rice lol. I also have enough food odds and ends accumulated at this point to feed our little village for around 3 months, factoring in our freezers (keeping things cold would be a challenge, been thinking about how to do waterproof buckets anchored in the river, which would keep things cold spring/fall). I have a few gallons of water and then our local ‘scratch and dent’ store currently has 24 packs of bottled water for $2, which is a really good deal around here, so I picked up 2 cases this week and plan on stopping in next week and getting a few more. I’ve also slowly been stocking up on things like Tylenol, tp, laundry detergent (loving Costco’s buckets of detergent-cheap and can also be used for general cleaning, oil spills etc). Every week I try and add at least one thing to our stash.
Dollar Tree is also great-been stocking up on candles and caffeine pills there. And then Aldi is just plain cheap for everything, and every grocery trip I get something extra (this week it was 10 boxes of instant potatoes, for $1.29 each).
My current focus is on medical preps, which we have very little of. I’m going to start an herb garden this summer (to use in teas mostly), and it will be my first time gardening-wish me luck lol.
svzee. it is great to read about your progress 🙂
I work at a discount store and the 1 lb. boxes of brand name pasta is $1.00
among other good finds….
Also recently opened in our county is a Sharp Shopper…
Years back they were only in the eastern part of our state
so glad to have one in a drivable distance
I am gluten free and they have brown rice spiral pasta (other kinds too)
for $1.99/lb. It is really good too!
They even had heavy mylar packs of cat food (one meal) for 25 cents per…
It is was a really good brand BBD 2019 sometime, I let my cats try it, yum yum they said 😉
That is great for back up kitty food
Sharp Shopper gets some stuff regularly but the rest is variable so that is why the huge discount
was pleased the store was immaculately clean too, nice job Sharp Shopper!
Dollar tree , My main buys are… 1) the papaya and pineapple in the snack section. it takes 6-7 bags… bags to pack in a pint jar, with an oxygen absorber… good fruit,size is reduced again.. but can’t buy 28 ounces of dehydrated fruit anywhere else for 7$, and 50 cents and a pint jar and lid secures… can re use jelly jars, in odd sizes as well…
2) tooth brushes soft for cleaning veggies, teeth, give to others/barter, they come in multipacks of several for the 1$. tooth paste and anti steench are there also,..at good prices but I am not buying those now… (making own)..
4) LA awesome powdered bleach alternative./citrus scented.. I use it in every load of laundry and it can be mixed in POWDERED home made detergent for laundry boost..
5) rubberized palm and fingered gardening gloves lots of colors and only 1$ each… I keep one by door for outside chores, one in the truck , for when i aw away from home.and I also keep one in the kitchen to give me a good grip when opening things that are difficult.
6) they sometimes have canned meats we will eat, one is small can of fake spam, bacon flavored. prepared,sliced thin, coated and fried then served..with eggs makes filling breakfast. I like the smoked sausage in a can, but not always available. We also bought a canned gumbo there, was spicy.. I added a little instant rice to it when we heated it, and a 5 oz of meat…to extend to 2 full servings out of one 15 oz can
Like the others I buy rice and pastas there, occassonal kitchen tool, candles, and various kinds of workbooks, notebooks and sticky notes. I avoid buying meds there not cost effective..packaged with amounts for one day.. I tend to buy for a month@ a time…. 48 ct packages are easier for me to rotate.
Just Sayin-great list, going to get some extra tooth brushes and gloves next time I’m there 🙂
Thanks. We’ve had some good suggestions in comments about how to acquire tangible physical assets (things, food, etc..) while ‘budget challenged’.
Some yard sales, estate sales, …. still have canning jars available for cheap. Then go to farmer’s markets in season when they have to move out the produce before it spoils – some is picked over but judicious trimming will provide many vegis and fruit for cheap. Canning these is easy and will provide much of the food for a winter even if you have no garden. Vinegar is still cheap for pickling as well.

en | N/A | N/A | I contacted Texas Speed to explain what had happened. They contacted Dynosty and told them to ship the head back to them so they can look at it. Dynosty would be billing me for the removal an re-install cost of the defective head but I was confident that once Texas Speed came to the same conclusion as Dynosty they would do the right thing and cover any costs associated with the bad head. I understand virtually all parts companies carry a clause that keeps liability of a company to a minimum, even with defective parts. Still, I was sure that a company like Texas Speed would do the right thing.....
I am aware that in most cases, warranty work covers labor to install a defective part (such as a car dealership). However, I am not near your company, unless you have someone in the Louisville KY area that is certified to cover you warranty work. Certainly the cost of shipping my car to you is not going to be very cost effective either. It is more than a little frustrating to hear your policy is to not cover any of the cost associated with part that was (in my opinion) faulty from the start. Your response stated all parts are inspected before leaving the factory and the "issue" must have became apparent after the install due to "heat"?If you reviewed my documentation I provided, this head was installed, by a very well established tuning shop, not more than 5 months ago. Now that I know what the exact issue is, this was a problem from the very start. This would have continued to be a problem had the tech locally not had to take the head off to replace (yet another possible faulty part). There is less than DD 2000 miles on the vehicle as of today and I have not been driving it at all since the valve spring issue to report to me by your company. How could have a CNC cylinder head have failed so quickly?
Below are the warranties of other LS heads in the industry...AFR and Trick Flow(Both can be found on their respective sites). Both warranties are the same as our...
Are you the final say in this matter?If your warranty policy covers 99% of the issues what does it take to get in that 1% that doesn't?
I am a very active member in several car clubs and forums. As I am sure you know, Kentucky is a car friendly state. I went to your company because quite a few people raved on your products quality and your willingness to stand behind it. Selling a defect part, then telling a customer that the warrant doesn't cover any costs other than replacement is just plain wrong. If a part you sold someone caused catastrophic damages and was later determined to be a fault from the manufacturing process are you going to just tell that customer, sorry but we don't cover those damages?
Wow, you have me buggin now....im having the same issue here with oil consumption. PRC heads milled .020...i went as far as replacing the valve seals but it looks as if im still having a issue. Gonna reroute my catchcan lines and hope it goes away but now im worried.....best of luck man!Mine only have 5k miles on them and were purchased in july of this year. I hope they r not suffering from the same or similar issue.....
Oh wow. I was considering ordering parts from them. I mean the complaints are few and far between, but knowing that if a situation like this were to occur, they won't do anymore than replace the faulty part?What if your engine got obliterated?
I just so surprised by this. For years I saw nothing but praise for Texas Speed and several other quality companies. Had a bought on Bubba's discount auto sales or Jimmy under the highway overpass I would expected these kinds of things.... |

en | N/A | N/A | Elon Musk Sold Billions Of Tesla Stock To Buy Twitter
Home / Stars / by Kristin Myers Posted on April 30, 2022 at 9:30 am
In early April, the SpaceX founder became Twitter’s largest shareholder in the company. Although he was offered to take a seat on the board of directors in exchange not to buy more than 14.9% of the company, Musk rejected the offer. He texted Twitter’s board chair Bret Taylor, offering to buy Twitter for $54.20 per share. Although Twitter adopted what was known as the “poison pill” defense, the board ultimately made a deal to buy Twitter from Musk in exchange for $44 billion.
However, it looks like the Tesla CEO had to sell a lot of shares to do it.
Elon Musk Sold $8.5 Billion Dollars Of Tesla Shares To Buy Twitter
On Friday morning, Musk disclosed that he had sold an extra 5.2 million shares for $4.5 billion dollars. The average price of each share was reportedly around $883.09 dollars. However, it’s also said that the sales only represent about 5.6% of his total shares and less than 4% if you’re including stock options.
The SEC filing does not include a reason for the sale, but it seems clear that Musk is trying to scrape up the funds to afford the $44 billion to buy the social media company. On Thursday night, Musk”

Gene Munster, a managing partner of Loup Ventures, told the publication, “How much he’t’s the reason for the bounce in stock. I actually thought he’d have to sell more shares than this.”

“He says it’s the end and that makes me believe it likely is,” Ives added. “Butnd.”
However, Munster doesn’t believe that Musk will go up to the maximum, at least, not right now. He noted that it’s “a pretty volatile stock. It’lon Musk, Tesla, Twitter

The result shows that there is an increase in the extent of voluntary disclosure in Malaysian listed firms over the eleven-year period from 1996 to 2006. Ownership concentration consistently shows positive association with voluntary disclosure. Firms with higher foreign and institutional ownership have a significantly positive association with voluntary disclosure levels while firms with family ownership exhibit lower voluntary disclosure. Consistent with agency theory, different ownership structures have varied monitoring effects on agency costs and clearly influence firm's disclosure practices. The findings provide insights to policy makers and regulatorsamidst the continual enhancement of corporate governance. The findings provide evidence that optimized ownership structure in any jurisdiction should be considered in any regulatory process that seeks to improve transparency. |

en | N/A | N/A | I would go about splitting a single image into multiple images of a specific size. Essentially, I would just take a regular image, and split it into, say, multiple images which are 16x16. I looked online for an answer, but my search terms were probably a bit messed up since the only stuff I could find was splitting it into specified rows and columns (not specifying the actual desired size of the output image). Is there a standard algorithm for splitting an image into smaller parts of the desired size? Thanks! EDIT: I really need to try harder before asking. Sorry! It was really easy to do, but I just missed it somehow. But please, feel free to answer. I might learn something new!

I finished up the program, and it worked pretty much perfectly. Recently, I wanted to make it more compact so it could be a standalone jar without requiring a folder with assets (i.e the image background, icon, DLL, etc.). I figured out that I could get the image as a resource from the actual jar file/class - that eliminates the need for the image assets in a separate folder. Next, I wanted to store the DLL within the jar file so I could copy it to another location. I've tried everything, honestly. I just can't figure out how I would go about copying the DLL file from within the actual jar file to an external location. Any help is welcome. I'll try everything. Thanks to whomever answers!

Vesemirs Decision
Once you’re done meditating talk to Vesemir, who is now ready to tell you what needs to be done. Kaer Morhen serves no purpose now, as everything of value has been stolen. We need to hunt down the bandits who robbed us, and avenge Leo’s death. First, however, we need to concoct a potion for Triss-a sorceress who is ironically allergic to magic. Head upstairs and see Lambert, who will tell you to head upstairs to find some Calcium Equum and some White Gull-the former being a component we need for the potion, and the latter being a base-itself a potion which is used to make other potions.
Head through the kitchen door, where you can grab a variety of food. Also, you can meditate at any time at the fire. Head west to find some stairs going up. There will be a few Salamandra Bandits lurking around, but nothing threatening. Head up the stairs until you find a door leading to the upper floor.

Hey everyone....I know I made a cryptic post in the bachelor forum about not being around much for a bit. In light of some news, I think I am ready to share.
When the xray tech looked at it on the Friday, he knew that something was wrong so a CT scan was booked for the Sunday. When it was done, it was found that he had a mass in his chest 8" by 9" by 6". He was told immediately to head to the cancer clinic in the next biggest town. That was Jan 6. They put him in the hospital there where more tests happened. We were told that the dr's were about 95% sure it was cancer....what type, they didn't know. By the placement and growth pattern they thought it was a lymphoma of sorts as it had invaded one of his major blood vessels in the chest and as such is inoperable. A biopsy was performed on the Monday. It wasn't until Friday that they finally got the results back. It was cancer for sure, but the type of it is Serinoma Carcinoma. As it turns out, it is one of the most curable types of cancer there is with a success rate of 95% when treated by a certain type of chemo. The difference is.....that type of cancer is a testicular cancer but because he is down's, 15% of those cases set themselves up in their chests. Most are found a lot smaller than his though.
I wanted to thank you all for your thoughts and considerations as you posted in the bach thread. Thanks again for the thoughts and will be back when this process gets figured out better. When the season is done, I will make changes to the filming schedule and will post if needed. Hope all of you are having a great new year so far.

en | N/A | N/A | I will never forget the day not long after my husband died that a mentor and dear friend of mine said to me, "Kathleen, normal as you know it is gone. You will find a new normal, but life probably won't even settle down for several years, so don't even look for it."
Although I have longed for days that were what I was use to, I have embraced the fact that life will never be the same. In fact, I frequently say, "my life is not normal."Normal for us is to try and figure things out on our own, but scripture is clear that His ways are out of this world. With that said, why on earth don't we constantly ask God to reveal His thoughts and His ways to us?
I Thessalonians 5:15 says, "Be sure that no onewould not say that is the way people normally respond. Normally, in life, when someone says something ugly, the natural tendency is to say something negative right back. Someone does something unkind and most people are quick to think of how they can get even. And always try to be kind …let's face it, it is not always easy to be kind. That is not typical for most people. Being joyful always …I will have to confess, there have been days I have had to preach to myself and say, "I know my joy is somewhere, I just have to find it."
I will confess I pray as I walk or jog in the mornings, pray in my office, pray as I drive. OK, true confessions, I prayed for God's mercy the other day when I got stopped for speeding. The nice officer extended mercy and only gave me a warning. That simple prayer as I was fumbling for my driver's license worked. Praying in the shower, praying in the elevator, praying as we sit in stressful meetings is not typical for most people. We should have a constant conversation with God. Besides, he is the only one that really understands your heart so why not talk to him about everything?
Another passage that reminds me that we are not called to live normal lives is found in I Pere was a time in my life when I had a coworker that simply did not like me. He caused much strife in the work place with others. He would say things that were unkind about me to others. I thought of ways I could retaliate, but fortunately for him and me, I came across this scripture and remembered what I was called to do. I was called to be a blessing to him. I chose to look for the good in him and compliment him. Let me state, this was not easy. It took all of Jesus in me to do this, and I would daily have to call on God to help me. I began to ask God to show me ways I could bless this man and God did. I even had a friend tell me he made the comment one day, "Why does she do nice things for me?
How about you?Are we kind to those that are unkind?Do you bless them?Can we find joy in all aspects of life?
walk with God, we are called to change our thinking. We do not have the luxury of thinking normal. For me, that is constantly asking God to reveal truth to me about situations and asking him to help me see things from his view pointHave you ever noticed that negative people usually live pretty negative lives?Something is always going wrong and they are seldom really enjoying life?
My friend, don't live a normal life. You are called to something bigger and better. Discover the adventure of walking with a God who loves you dearly and wants to share many adventures and fun with you. I think Kerrville will be a much better place to live when we let go of normal. Will you join me in not living the normal life? |

en | N/A | N/A | Former University of North Carolina Tar Heels standout Justin Jackson is preparing for the 2017 NBA Draft, taking the next step in his basketball career.
The wing is projected to be as high as No. 10 overall and be a lottery pick come June’s draft.
Jackson has already participated in a few group workouts after the NBA Scouting Combine and is ready to partake in another one.
The Sacremento Kings will host Jackson and a few other prospects on Wednesday to showcase their skills for a team that holds the 5th and 10th picks in the NBA Draft.

The Kings are looking to turn around their franchise and really need to hit on their first-round pick this year.
Jackson spoke on the upcoming workout and what it would mean to hear his name called in the upcoming draft.
Here’s what he told the Sac Bee:
“For me, it’s an honor and blessing just to be here, no matter what age I am,” Jackson said. “But to also see my decision go back (to North Carolina) and to improve so that I’d be in a better decision this year, to see that decision play out pretty well, it feels pretty good.”
The 6-foot-8, 200-pound Jackson had a fantastic year for the Tar Heels as he averaged 18.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. He helped the Tar Heels capture their sixth national championship with a win over Gonzaga.
Jackson tested the 2016 NBA Draft process but decided to return to school for his junior season at Carolina.
His biggest improvement came in three-point shooting. Jackson improved his three-point shooting percentage from 29% to 37% from his sophomore to junior season.
Next: Updated workouts for Kennedy Meeks, Nate Britt
Jackson will workout in a group featuring Frank Mason (Kansas), Kyle Kuzma (Utah), London Perrantes (Virginia), Josh Bell (Oregon) and Devin Robinson (Florida). |

en | N/A | N/A | What a tragic day!!!
First, accident that happened on marco simoncelli. On the second lap at the malaysian GP, he slipped off from his ride and hitted by colin edwards and also valentino rossi. That accident made him passed away. The accident happened very fast, I think he wanted to overtaken alvaro bautista but he failed to controlled his ride and then slipped off on the racing track. Colin edwards and Vale who positioned behind him, couldn’t react to avoid him because there were speeding. That was resulting, a horrible accident. That accident also made colin edwards got shoulder injury. No one can blame in this accident, neither colin edward nor rossi. That was really an accident, a horrible accident. But I still wonder why marco’s helmet knocked off???
Marco I think your gone is too early. You are such a talented rider, you have a good prospect in the future. I admire you as one of my favourite rider, a unique and stylist rider. Moto GP must loss you, your family must too, everybody will be missing you bro even dani pedrosa. Anyway goodbye brotha, race in peace. |
en | N/A | N/A | Since I went natural almost 2 years ago I have been using the same hair care regimen since day 1; wash with whatever shampoo is on sale, condition with the same brand, mix glycerin with water, mist my hair then two strand twist it with Cantu brand shea butter. Total investment $8. It was cheap and it worked! I refused to get sucked into the hype of all these expensive brands. My hair was thick, healthy and growing. It was all those things that the other brands promised.
Then enters YouTube! Product reviews, before and after pics, testimonials! Why, oh why, did it captivate me so? I had to try Shea Moisture, Miss Jessies, Carol’s Daughter for myself. I started using Shea Moisture about 2 months ago. I love the way the product smells and how soft and supple my hair feels. It gave me the moisturized look without the greasy feel of my glycerin with water regimen. I was in love...until.
So, after 20 minutes of blocking the isle with my basket while pondering over which product to take home, I choose (drum roll please) Miss Jessies. But why?!? I was completely satisfied with my glycerin with water routine, AND THEN completely satisfied with Shea Moisture. Why can’t I just be satisfied? BTW, my total investment in my hair today was $32!
I think I’m becoming a product junkie L

en | N/A | N/A | Beard, the doyen of American socialists stated that” “Individual economic activities and individual property rights
will be altered and changed.” FDR was bringing us to a ‘collect ‘the twin centers of reconstruction effort.’ After reading Well’s autobiography in which
he called for a ‘greater effort’ for Communism, FDR wrote him “your direction and mine are not so far apart.”
Russian newspapers during the last election (1932)n ‘the.”
FDR and Eleanor’s political views were shaped by
a political leech named Louis Howe who attached himself in 1912 .. Howe saw in FDR an ambitious, ruthless young man with no
moral compass or ideas. Howe shaped both FDR and Eleanor. Howe wrote quoting his protégé FDR “that the
time has arrived to build a new kind of government founded on the doctrine of the good neighbor and not the cruel doctrine
of ‘rugged.on
‘Freedom of Information’ in his speeches.
FDR pressed a bill to eliminate the right to bear arms,
the guarantee of all others.
The whole point of this brief ( as compared to the material I have at hand) –
of which ALL was as damning as the strongest point made in the paper here – was to make three points.
conclusion, It is glaringly evident:
(1) That this evil wicked demented Christ hating reprobate piece if putrid shit
hypocrite – Frankenstein Demento Jewsvelt dedicated his life’s agenda to make the world a safer place for COMMUNISM
– and in the process he wished to completely transform the United States into a Godless totalitarian Marxist USSR style
slave state – PERIOD!
(2) That it must be painfully noted that the people that supported and sustained
this mutant demonic freak did so of their own free and obviously irrationally evil will – which should scare the crap
out of every moral responsible freedom loving man woman and child in this country. Keep in mind – I presented only a
small percent of the well documented depraved evil he committed against America and the world.
(3) That in a
few days the SAME ilk of morons who gave FDR dominion over their very lives will make the SAME grave mistake and doom what
is left of our freedoms and the blessed Republic Constitution all because of a level of ignorance combined with hypocrisy,
indifference irresponsibility and a rising level of stupidity that is legion rampant and epidemic!

Is this supposed to make fun of the people who bash fat people, or is it supposed to make fun of the fat people themselves? Because it rings true in today's weight-obsessed society. Your parody, whether satirical or not, represents the voice of the "beautiful people" majority.
Uh, excuse me, but I am obese (200+ pounds) and I am not at all "lazy" or smelly. I've worked all my life--not sponged-off of the government--and I take at least one bath or shower every day. I use deodorant and other types of "body fresheners". Heavy people do tend to sweat easier in hot weather, so concientious people would use powder, or something similar to prevent that. It is really ridiculous to lump everyone in the same category--it's as stupid and ignorant as saying all members of certain minority groups have the same traits. Fat people have feelings, too. There are those, of course, who choose to be lazy and stuff their faces all day. I am not one of those, so I don't appreciate comments like the above.

en | N/A | N/A | Does it now cost so much more to "produce" a college education than it did a few decades ago? Not likely. In fact, although virtually all colleges are stridently not-for-profit, it is pretty clear that the profit margins on a college education are big and getting bigger. I have a hard time believing that the cost of heating the dorm rooms, proctoring exams, and so on has grown much faster than inflation. If college were a business, we would say that the price increases have gone straight to the bottom line.
Colleges and universities are remarkably unconstrained by any of these.
That a rival college will lower prices (or fail to raise them) in order to steal customers is not a serious threat. Firstly, colleges just don’t see themselves as being in serious competition with each other in this sense and rather unabashedly conspire to fix prices. Moreover, incentives to grab more market share are small. Lowering prices to increase volume is not usually a short-term option, as increasing student population involves building more dorms and classrooms, and that would take years. A college could lower prices to get a smarter or more talented student body, which is nice, but lowering prices without increasing units sold means a drop in revenue.

en | N/A | N/A | Martin Mayhew and Jim Schwartz are now reaping the fruits of Matt Millen's failure as general manager of the Lions. Millen created the perfect storm of ineptitude by piling on eight years worth of bad decisions which finally culminated in last year's disastrous 0-16 season. Now Mayhew and Schwartz are trying to rebuild amidst the aftermath. It's a wasteland as far as the eye can see. The tattered remnants of what was once an average roster now litters the halls of Allen Park. The stench permeates the league and no one in their right mind wants to wallow through muck to search for survivors. How do you rebuild amongst such devastation and failure? Well, management is finding out firsthand that it is no easy task.
As we watched the action from afar over the first few days of free agency, we have all come to realize the daunting task that Mayhew and Schwartz have in luring good talent to the lowly Lions. Players whom the Lions supposedly targeted were quickly gobbled up by better teams for sometimes less money. I guess this was to be expected, but with an excess of $40 million in cap space, the looming uncapped year in 2010 and the massive holes in the current roster, we expected more. Maybe one or two top-tier players that fit what the Lions were trying to do. But alas, it was not meant to be. Most of the top free agents are now signed and it seems that the Lions missed the boat to Redemption Island. But I'll tell you now... it only SEEMS that way.
You might be asking why there is any reason to be optimistic in what at first glance, appears to be a pretty glum free agency effort by Mayhew and Co.? First, let's not downplay the few moves that they have made. Their targets have been very specific. They are keying on players that are young, inexpensive, relatively risk-free and serve a particular purpose on the roster. They knew that they needed a compliment to Calvin Johnson and a back-up to Kevin Smith. So they immediately targeted players that fit those depth positions because they knew that they could find quality back-up players early and inexpensively. These players were easy to lure because other teams were focused on breaking the bank for the high profile players. So instead of wasting resources on trying to entice 30+ year old starters to an 0-16 team, they targeted some of the best second-tier, depth guys early and scored. In my humble opinion, this was a very smart move. No doubt this was frustrating to the fans, but grand scheme-wise... very smart.
The Lions did try to snag a few veterans in some key areas where the holes could not all be filled via the draft. The Dockery move fell apart as did the Ken Lucas trade. "A" for effort, but that doesn't put the players in the uniforms. This is where the repercussions of being the worst team in the league are truly felt. Regardless of who was running this team, the reality of being the worst organization is going to keep you from getting certain players. It is in these situations where a general manager can truly shine. This is where he makes or breaks his career. When the going gets tough, the tough get... creative!
This is what, so far, has set Mayhew apart from other Detroit GM's. He has a penchant for being creative. He pulls out a great trade for a veteran cornerback by moving a 38 year old quarterback we were going to cut anyway. Then we find out about the potential blockbuster trade that would've landed us Jay Cutler. Wow! Can you imagine if he had pulled that off? This is mind-blowing on several levels. First, Mayhew recognizes that Cutler is better than Cassel and that Cassel is a risk not worth taking at this point. Time may tell if that analysis was correct or not, but right now, it looks like a great decision. Second, it tells me that the Lions are perfectly fine not being pigeonholed into drafting Stafford with the first overall pick, BUT... recognize the need to upgrade over Culpepper and seem driven to find a player out there. This trade gone cold gives me the hope that Mayhew will do what it takes to get the RIGHT players on this team. He's shown restraint and patience as well as creativity and aggressiveness. I am truly impressed and indeed confident that this team will be built the right way this time.
Okay, so maybe I am the eternal optimist; the Joey-blue-skies of Lion's fandom. I can't help it. I like what I see right now. And what I see is a staff that is ready to build through the draft and not waste money like the Dan Snyder's and Jerry Jones' of the league. Those bank-buster deals look all shiny and pretty in March, but seldom does that approach work. Snyder has tried this again and again without success. Does handing $156 million to Haynesworth and Hall, two guys that stomp on the heads of other players and publicly call out their head coaches, respectively, sound like a good deal? Not to me. Mayhew's approach will take a few years, but there are no quick fixes with this Lions team. The band-aid approach is not acceptable. This team must be built on young, Detroit-drafted talent and smart, calculated free agent signings. This requires patience on behalf of management and fans alike.
I know that we Lion's fans have been burned so many times before that it's hard to buy into any routine or be optimistic about any strategy. Most of us felt this way last season as well. Maybe I'm just in need of another stint in Kool-Aid Rehab after swearing off the stuff for good last year. Who knows? But Mayhew's moves just seem smart to me. I hope for all our sakes that he gets it right this time. |

Alongside my degree studies, I have been building hours and working towards my first ATPL module of exams. I booked my exams back in February and have just returned from Gatwick last night. I opted to sit them at Gatwick upon the recommendation of a friend, this alongside being surrounded by Aviation, made it seem like the best option! It is a shame however, that most exam venues are down south. It’s alike the initial class one medical scenario, the CAA really should focus on setting up a venue for exams and initial medicals in somewhere like Leeds or Manchester. Anyhow, I stayed a 25 minute walk from the CAA at the Premier Inn Manor Royal. This hotel is located in and amongst various Aviation companies including Virgin Atlantic’s HQ and ‘The Base’. I was lucky enough to be able to see aircraft arriving and departing from my room with the help of my scanner to hear radio transmissions. This definitely made the stay more bearable!
One of the things I was most intrigued about before even arriving at Gatwick was what the CAA would be like and how they would go about exams. I can’t describe how odd it was being at the home of the UK aviation regulator, sat under their roof amongst those making decisions about airspace, aircrew and regulations. Aviation House is a very impressive building, visitors like myself are processed by security at the main desk, given a visitor badge and sent through to the very impressive Atrium, where there are plenty of seats and coffee shop to sit and get some last minute revision! The two invigilators, Ronda and Jill were the most friendly invigilators I have ever met. It’s a shame they aren’t like this at Universityfficient which made it much easier to settle into the exam and do my best!
Meteorology was a very difficult exam, there were plenty of new questions, I struggled with various ones where two answers seemed extremely viable, this was the case across all three exams I sat. Human Performance & Limitations was the most challenging, it was very different to the question bank and had the dreaded new scenarios. These scenarios were very ambiguous whilst the answers were extremely subjective. I didn’t hesitate to leave a comment for the CAA to tell them what I thought. Instruments was an absolute dream of an exam, I do believe I got very lucky as nearly all questions were from the question bank or slightly re-worded except a few new ones. The Quadrant system is very easy to use and makes it very clear and easy to return to questions unanswered or flagged. I only got one quadrant question across all three exams, this was on Instrumentation and involved ticking five of six options with regards to what a Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) is able to record.
I literally received my results this morning whilst at work. Prior to receiving them I was extremely nervous, I don’t think I have shaken so much in my life. I really couldn’t gauge how I had done in the exams. Thankfully, after great trepidation, I received my results, one after the other, passing all free. The relief is unreal, three down eleven to go! Here I go! |

en | N/A | N/A | One of the world’s rarest cats is also one of its least known.
The Andean mountain cat, sometimes called the “snow leopard” of the Andes, is an elusive species found only at high elevations of the Andean region in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Peru. Little is known about its ecology and behavior. While the species is known to be rare, no one knows how many individuals survive in the wild.
Mauro Lucherini and his colleagues at the Andean Cat Alliance (AGA) are working to change this. The Alliance — which spans the cat's range and involves more than two dozen researchers — is studying the species and carrying on awareness-raising and community participation activities so as to better protect it from the many threats it is believed to face. The work is not easy — studying the Andean mountain cat in its habitat is truly a challenge.
Nevertheless Lucherini loves his work.
Lucherini and the AGA LucheriniLucherini and the Andean Cat Alliance firsthand. The event, which is open to the public at a cost of $e Andean cat?
Mauro Lucherini: That's a long story. I have always loved being in the field. And I always wanted to study carnivores, at least since the moment I was face to face with a red fox in Italylan, Italy, then, and I decided to graduate with a final work on red fox ecology that enabled me to stay for one year in field and confirm my passion.
A few years later, while I was working on my PhD, I was offered a chance to take part in a couple of expeditions to the Andes in Argentina. That was the first time I heard of the Andean cat. The huge wilderness areas and the friendly people of Argentina caught my imagination and my curiosity. I moved to Argentina, with the initial idea of living here for 1 or 2 years, but I never left. Thus, as soon as I found someone willing to fund some work on the cat, my team started traveling to the high-altitude deserts of the Andes and found out what the challenge really meant! But this is another story….
Mauro Lucherini: AGA is a dynamic organization open to all conservationists, educators and researchers interested in working for the conservation of the High Andes wildlife. At the moment, AGA comprises some 25 South American members, almost equally distributed among Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Peru, working in 10 teams, plus 3 international members (from USA and UK).
In addition, our activities involve a large number of university students, local teachers, rangers and other staff from Protected Areas, and villagers.
Mongabay: Does anyone know how many Andean cats survive in the wild?
The IUCN Cat Specialist Group, based on the expected density of a cat the size of an Andean cat and the area potentially available in the Andes, estimated that less than 10,000 individuals are left. The truth is that in spite of many years of work in the four range countries, nobody has the answer to this question!! It must be clear that when you deal with an elusive, small-sized carnivores this basic question turns out to be also the most difficult to answer. In the case of the Andean cat, the obstacles are made greater by the fact that they mainly live in remote areas where altitude makes working (even moving, in some cases) very difficult!
However, my team in Argentina has been conducting the first study on population abundance of the High Andes carnivores through intensive camera trapping. This has a very demanding task that has been close to the limits our team capacities, but we were able to get estimates and conclude that in ideal habitats, density can be higher than expected, but also that high-density areas are probably small patches immersed in wide extensions that have almost with no Andean cats at all.
Mongabay: Why are Andean Cats endangered?
Mauro Lucherini: We cannot discard the possibility that Andean cats have always been rare, but it is probable that the extinction of wild populations of chinchillas (likely the main Andean cat prey) for fur trade has contributed in the past to reduce the Andean cat population numbers. What we do know is that human-induced habitat alterations are acting on top of this “natural” rarity and that the loss of few individuals from an area may drive the species to local extinction.

Present-day threats identified by AGA vary among countries and also regionally. While in the most productive and most populated areas of northern Bolivia and Peru extensive habitat modification caused by cattle grazing and collection of wood for fuel are thought to be affecting the availability of prey, in central Argentina mining is destroying large extensions of habitat. Throughout most of the range, hunting by man is certainly an important threat, whether it is related to the use of cat skins in traditional ceremonies or to the simple facts that all carnivores are perceived as pests by local people.
Mauro Lucherini: Only once in 10 years of field work and, nevertheless, this entitles me to become part of the very exclusive club of the field biologists who has ever seen an Andean cat. A privilege that I feel I have to pay back, helping this cat to survive. And let me tell you that it was one of those moments that left a mark… I felt I was in the presence of the true Soul of the Andes!
Mauro Lucherini: I think that there are some rational reasons and some deeper, more difficult to explain, motivations. I am convinced that, although Andean cats have certainly not the charisma of tigers, cheetahs or elephants, they can be used as flagships for the conservation of the whole High Andes ecoregion, a biome which is still little known and still possesses large wilderness areas, but which is in need for conservation because of its fragility and its high rate of endemism (meaning that a great proportion of the species living in the region cannot be found anywhere else). These are the reasons I find as a conservationist and a scientist. But I think that more important than that is the amazement I feel when I walk through the immense landscapes of the Altiplano, or when, in the absolute silence of a quiet morning, I hear a strange sound, I look around and see the huge wings of a condor drawing a sharp shadow on the desert mountain slopes. My true motivation comes from the connection that I was offered to establish with these landscapes.
Mauro Lucherini: In fact, rarity is only one of the track these cats. In Argentina the Altiplano is huge and, in some cases, to reach the mountain ranges that are inhabited by cats you need a two-day 4×4 drive. Then you need to find a place where drinkable water is enough to set up a campsite. Finally, one needs to be fit enough to withstand the strong solar radiation after a freezing night, the constant winds that may easily turn into storms, and, especially, the lack of oxygen, which usually causes headaches and nausea for the first days. The techniques that we use range from the most ancient ones, such as searching for signs of presence of the cats to the most recent methods of camera trapping and DNA-based identification of scats.
Mauro Lucherini: In Argentina they live in a region where it can snow in any season of the year and thus, obviously, Andean cats must be able to move in the snow, something that is also suggested by its ample paws. However, this is a very dry area and precipitations are rare. Thus, no photos of an Andean cat in the snow exist. Furthermore, they do not use the areas of permanent snow of the Andes, because they are too high and almost nothing lives there.
Mauro Lucherini: We are convinced that in such a region, conservation must be placed in the hands of local people. Thus our strategy is mainly based on community awareness raising and participation. We aim to make locals feel proud of sharing their land with such a mysterious and beautiful cat and let them understand that the damage cats make to their domestic stock is likely minimal since the cat is too small to kill a sheep or a lama. Even chicken-killing is rare. In addition, since Andean cats are protected, we also remind people that killing them is against the law. Finally we advocate for the creation of more protected areas in the high Andes andhat includes the information we produce on the ecological needs of this species.
Mauro Lucherini: Although most inhabitants of the South American Altiplano share common cultural roots, they occupy a 4000 km long stretch of mountain where villages are frequently quite isolated. So it is difficult to talk about the perceptions of local people as a whole. Initially they tend to be surprised to find out that this cat can be considered an international priority, but they are always quite happy when someone shows interest in their lives and traditional knowledge. And they are usually quite aware of how delicate is the balance of the ecosystems where they live and this makes them sensitive to alternative ideas or alternative sources of income.
Mongabay: How can people in places like the U.S. help Andean cat conservation?
Mauro Lucherini: Americans are increasingly conservation-friendly and I think that when U.S. citizens decide to support a conservation project, the chances of success for that project increase dramatically. There are many forms of supporting a conservation project in a developing country. Funding is obviously fundamental, and I want to stress here that the total budget of AGA, with conservation actions taking place in 4 countries, is less than $100,000 per year. The development of a foreign tourism in the High Andes that is respectful of local people traditions and natural habitats could also dramatically change the situation we are dealing with. But even if US citizens only decide that Andean cats and their habitat must be saved, I think that we would soon be in a better position to help this wish come true. Public pressure on corporations can do what would appear miracles to our eyes now.
Mongabay:
Mauro Lucherini: Don’t think of field conservation as a job. If you think that you can live nicely by being a field conservationist, forget it. The true measure of success in conservation field work is that you love being out there. Scientific curiosity may help and it will help if you enjoy sharing hard work with friends, but you need to be self-motivated and aware that the fruits of the seeds you plant are more likely to be tasted by your children than by yourself. |

en | N/A | N/A | /INIT process Desire HD lag problems...SOLVED !
Im using windows 7 and the ABD driver wont install...you need to download Htc Sync on your pc which downloads the ABD driver !
EDIT 3 - Not one single person has come back to me and said that the /INIT problem has returned after this fix...
La!
For people that have the com.htc.bgp process that loads the CPU it stays at 80-90% all the time, and i have autosync on, if you stop auto sync the process goes out....
Thanks to all the XDA Community...
And now the DHD gets also lag problems ?
An app killer doesn't solve the problem and Im unsure how many people are having this problem, to my understanding its not many...
I will make a video when it happens again...it may take a few days to come back....but it always does...a video added to this thread would be most useful...
Hey guys some great feedback here, as with my link on starting this thread the /INIT is an android 2.2 process, auto sync on/off doesn't solve the problem neither does a hard reset, taking the battery out ect...
The guy in the link says his method worked for him, can't say the same for myself, I have a feeling his problem will be back..
The 1.32.405.6 update also doesn't solve this problem, I updated yesterday and 10 min later I had the dreaded /INIT problem...
The so called "turn off fast boot doesn't fix the problem either, I have had the /INIT lag problem with it switched on and off........why only certain phones?
I haven't had the problem since yesterday (around 12 midday), when it occurs again I will be posting a video as requested...
Thanks for the advice, Im going to contact the seller, he had it on upgrade and shipped it to me the following day..he seemed a nice guy so It should be ok...Now its just a matter of waiting for MR INIT to show up haha....
What?k..?.....its way to.
Yes off topic...
Im asking the mod to still keep this a sticky but to lock the thread as there is really nothing left to discuss and its just here for people that are still having the /init problem as a reference...
EDIT - Thread being locked soon so....
Agian thanks to all xda community !

en | N/A | N/A | I grew up enjoying the Topper books by Thorne Smith. I always loved ghostly movies that were fun or cheerful. I still laugh aloud when I see a performance of Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit. And I always wanted to write about a ghost. Since the ghosts I enjoy are cheerful spirits, I decided a spectral sleuth would be both fun and challenging and I was delighted when Bailey Ruth swung around a heavenly cloud and said, "Come along with me. We'll have fun together."
Did you fashion Bailey as a sleuth (and a member of Heaven's Department of Good Intentions) because of your love for mysteries?
When I decided to write about a ghost, I realized I must decide who she was and where she came from and immediately my mind popped to Heaven. Bailey Ruth's heavenly origin clearly reveals that I believe in a Heaven which is always and ever cognizant of its creatures on earth.

I'd never heard the utterance above until I met my bf. In AIM, I typed, "What's that supposed to mean?" He said, "It's an evil laugh." Duh! I'd just heard it come out of every villain's mouth in one way or another! Though I don't always sit here when I'm trying to write mean and dirty going, "Mwahaha! Mwahaha! I'm going to get you, my pretty." Usually I have to do a one-eighty on my "perfect" world, since as you know every great book should only spiral down into a vortex of hurt/pain/tragedy...so the end is fabulously heroic and love triumphs all!
I think the most important thing for a villain to be is SUPER bad. Sure you can have a baddy, but he generally will only be labeled a henchman. Mwahaha...my bad guy kidnapped a kid and held it for ransom! Not that's a bad guy, but what if he kidnapped a kid knowing it had an illness, then put the meds out of reach, and in affect tortured the kid while goading the police and parents that they wouldn't be able to save the child? Now go farther and think about this if the villain was a woman. See the stereotypical twist? The big difference overall is that the villain can't just do bad stuff, he or she must have some inherent tick that makes them think that their way is right, though it's not by society/moral standards.
I will tell you that my villains are a grade C, but I'm working to make them an A! I think my best villain to date was Kacela Theron with his henchwoman Judith, who also played an important role among my group of heroes. By showing Kacela extolling his power, and how he treated those he felt were beneath him (including children) I started to layer his evilness. Yet even when I was writing I didn't know until the end what made him so demented. Let's just say I was shocked myself by what came out. How things ended up sure didn't appear in my outline!!

Keep in mind all you’re about to hear is coming from a reverted contest slut. I’ve entered over 50, finalled in a few and placed in a couple. So did my money pay off? For the most part. I got feedback on things I was testing out, and got the chance to get in front of a couple agents and editors. However, I will share a few things I’ve learned. And no, it’s not a 12 step program to quit.
Do you really want the final judge to read your work? If the judge isn’t on your hit list, why not choose another contest where they are the final judge. If the judge isn’t an agent or editor, then go in knowing that. If it’s a published author, make sure that you know their work.
Check the grading sheets. If you know your submission will grade low in a category or categories, choose another submission or another contest. Because of problems with grading sheets, some chapters have actually just started letting judges make good/bad comments about entries. |

The youngest, six-year-old Bode, is the first to discover one of these keys and doors. He also discovers someone (or some thing ) living in the well in the abandoned well house. Someone should have kept a better eye on the little one.
The second volume is comprised of the six issues in the Head Games arc and is concerned with the powers of the second key, known as the Head Key for marvellous and terrifying reasons, as well as the return of an individual who is the spitting image of a friend of the Locke children’s father. In his previous incarnation he was known as Luke Caravaggio, but now he’s calling himself Zack and has insinuated himself into Tyler’s life. All he has to do is avoid anyone who may recognise him from twenty years ago. Because if someone does, well, he can’t risk being exposed and people die every day, right?

en | N/A | N/A | LNG demand is increasing in Europe and an import infrastructure is required to meet these demands. In developing this infrastructure the performance of LNG import terminals has to be maintained. Research on LNG terminal efficiency is limited, even though it can provide valuable information towards the further development of the LNG infrastructure. The following study has provided a way for terminals to benchmark terminal efficiency. In seeking explanation for the differences encountered, lessons are learnt about sources of inefficiency. The study has focussed on European LNG import terminals, but the methods used can be implemented in a wide variety of settings. The relative efficiencies of LNG import terminals in Europe have been measured by implementing a DEA, performed using the OSDEA software. The DEA variant chosen in this case was the output oriented variable (increasing) returns to scale model measuring technical efficiency by using unloading, regasification and storage capacity as inputs and surface area and capital costs as outputs. The outcome of the analysis has indicated that eight out of the 15 included terminals are deemed inefficient. Inefficiency scores vary from 1.055 to 1.443 indicating certain terminals should be able to increase their levels of output with up to 44.3 percent. Slacks have indicated that especially unloading capacity is falling behind. Findings have shown how terminals with high output levels and capital costs tend to score more efficiently. Due to high unloading, storage and regasification capacities terminals are capable of dealing with uncertainties and, therefore, manage to achieve higher levels of efficiency. The explanation for the high capital costs of efficient terminals is found in their equipment. In striving for efficiency these terminals invest in expensive equipment. This equipment composes a large part of the capital costs and, therefore, more advanced terminals require higher capital costs. The efficiency analysis, however, proved incapable of dealing with external factors like construction delays. Further research might incorporate means of coping with these factors. The future trends of the gas and LNG market have to be kept in mind, however. |

When we did this we moved our large desk into my sons room, leaving our computer on top a small desk in our living room. Moving from a large desk to a small desk we lost one important thing…a place to house our printer. I can hook up my printer to any computer accept where I need it most, my computer in the living room.
I was in desperate need of a Wi-Fi computer when I was given the opportunity to review the EPSON Stylus NX430 Wi-Fi Printer. I was so excited to be given the chance and as soon as it arrived I started working at getting it set up. Since our large desk was moved into Buddy’s room that is where we decided to set it up. It really took no time at all to get it working and connected to all three of our computers.

One of my favorite features is the individual ink cartridges. Though this means I will have to replace more cartridges this means I won’t have to replace the entire cartridge when only one color runs out. I’m interested to see how long the link will last. One of my major complaints with our previous printer is it seemed any time I needed to work on a project we ran out of ink. I don’t think we were running out as much as the ink was drying up before we got a chance to use it.
The EPSON Stylus NX430 is a small all-in-one printer which is prefect for home. This is great for scanning in photos dated before we owned a digital camera. This is a major project on my list of things I want to accomplish. One of the features of the EPSON Stylus NX430 that is really going to help with this project is the photo restoration feature.

The home carer has been looking after elderly residents of South Tyneside for 30 years.
Now, Pamela, of Vernon Close, South Shields, is in the running for recognition for her compassion and dedication after being nominated for a Pride of South Tyneside award.
The 59-year-old was put forward for the award for carer of the year, sponsored by South Shields-based clothing company Barbour, by Richard Nightingale, the warden at Patrick Cain House in the town’s Eldon Street.
“I hope that when, in the future, I need a carer, our Pam will be mine, as I know for certain that I will be in safe hands.
She said: “I loved care work from the second I started it. I just thoroughly enjoy looking after elderly people.
“I get a lot of pleasure from it. I love visiting all my patients, and I always look forward to going to see them.
“I visit people at their own homes and in residential homes, and it’s always nice to spend time with them.
“I don’t think I can really say how I feel about being nominated for this award. I don’t really feel like I deserve one. I do what I do because I love it.”

en | N/A | N/A | Roads are few; people thin on the ground in the Northern Highlands. So enjoy the sense of space and wildness, whether on sweeps of beach and dunes, among some of the best bogs in the world or on ancient rocks of the distinctively shaped mountains. Beautiful coastal plants such as Scots primrose, herds of red deer and throngs of guillemots, puffins and other seabirds are just a few of the wildlife highlights that can reward you in the Scottish mainland's spectacular northern fringe.
John o' Groats gets the limelight as the northernmost village on the British mainland. But Dunnet Head, to the west, pokes even farther into the wild waters of the Pentland Firth. You can see puffins and other seabirds in a colony below the lighthouse and look for flowers of spring squill in the clifftop turf. Ranger-guided walks to the headland and to the dunes at Dunnet Links (Scots primrose and orchids in the dune grassland) start at a small visitor centre beside Dunnet Links caravan site.
If you like walking on a huge sweep of beach at low tide, then Durness will tickle your toes and your fancy. The strand at Balnakeil Bay can be a start area for a longish hike across beach, dunes and coastal grassland out to Faraid Head, where puffins and other seabirds breed. Boat trips (June-Sept) run to the Head from beside Smoo Cave. Near both the craft village (interesting café/bookshop) and the main village (stores and tourist information) some beautiful flowers, including Scots primrose, grow in the limestone-enriched soil. You can find mountain avens beside tracks near the amazingly clear 'marl' lochs around the village. These trout-rich waters are popular with both ducks and anglers.
There's no finer place for guillemots in Britain and Ireland than Handa, just north of Scourie. Take a short trip on the ferry (Apr-Sept) that runs from Tarbet to land on a shell-sand beach. Then use the boardwalk that crosses to the cliffs (looking out for great skuas - or 'bonxies' - arctic skuas and lizards on the way). Row upon row of guillemots and razorbills line the narrow Torridonian sandstone ledges, topped with a sprinkling of puffins on the awesome Great Stack. Scan the sea in case a minke whale or dolphin (several species possible) are passing offshore.
Look closely at a good blanket and you'll appreciate its weave and its colour. That's how it is with blanket bog. Some of the biggest blanket bogs in the world are in the peatlands of Caithness and Sutherland. At Forsinard (reachable by train from Inverness or from the A897 Helmsdale to Melvich road), you can explore some bog dry-shod on a boardwalk. Find out in the visitor centre about the special plants (such as sundews) that live here, then look for rich colours of sphagnum mosses outside and listen for bogland breeders such as black-throated diver, greenshank, golden plover, dunlin and common scoter. Watch for red deer from the road.
Where Loch Fleet meets the North Sea close to Littleferry, beside Golspie, you can get close views of eider ducks year round and see long-tailed ducks in winter. The coastal grassland is good for butterflies and plants such as autumn gentian. Walk Balblair Wood (west of the minor road between Littleferry and Golspie golf course) to see St Olav's candlesticks - a special pinewood plant - at its best British location. Park at the Mound causeway, where the A9 crosses the River Fleet, to overlook a pool much used by waders such as redshank and fished by osprey in summer.
The woodlands that cloak the low hills between Spinningdale and Bonar Bridge have a glorious mix of Scots pine, birch, oak, aspen and other native trees. Easiest access is from the minor road west of Spinningdale, running through what is known locally as the 'Fairy Glen'. A gentle track runs up through the birchwoods north of the road. South, take the main trail (signed from the road) to Loch Migdale to look for red squirrel, crossbills and signs of pine marten and get some good views into the burn gorge. Or branch off before the loch to go alongside Spinningdale bog, beside the northernmost large oakwood in Britain.
Knockan Cliff, by the A835 between Ullapool and Elphin, is part of a world-famous geological site. But beyond the lively displays about the 'Moine Thrust' and other rocky topics in the visitor centre, look for lime-loving plants such as mountain avens, alpine lady's mantle and yellow saxifrage near the path and get good views west across the peaks of Inverpolly.
With its bevy of wooded islands at its western end, Loch Maree is worth a close look just to appreciate the views. There's a traditional angler's hotel (good for refreshments) halfway along it, beside the A832 and several car parks. Listen for black-throated divers and common sandpipers at the loch in summer and for the roar of red deer in the hills in autumn. |

en | N/A | N/A | President Yushchenko again trod on PM Yanukovych's toes when he signed a decree on Friday revoking the appointment of four deputy Internal Affairs Ministers - Fatkhutdinov - deputy head of civic security, Bodnar - head of the main investigative administration, Plekhanov - responsible for personnel and internal security, and V Suslov. They had been appointed just a few days previously by the Cabinet of Ministers. More about this in an Obkom article entitled: "Yushchenko drove out entire Donetsk gang from Ministry Internal Affairs"
The current 'Dzerkalo Tyzhnya' includes a piece entitled: "Yushchenko preparing 'Special Services' for battle with Yanukovych."
"The sharpening internal political struggle for the control over law-enforcement agencies, procuratorship, and special services was the most significant event of the past week," it says. The replacement of almost entire Ministry of Internal Affairs leadership by people connected to Victor Yanukovych reveals both that the Vasyl Tsushko [recently appointed Minister of Internal Affairs] is a mere decorative figurehead, and that it is the intention of the leader of Regiony to place under his tight control another lever of power - the police force.
At the same time the secretariat of the President is busy creating a new state structure which will give him 'manual control' of the Security Service of Ukraine [SBU]. The anti-crisis majority in the VR is attempting to counteract this process - several days ago they refused to satisfy President Yushchenko's request to fire SBU chairman Ihor Drizhchaniy. Disintegration and destruction of Ukrainian special services as the functioning tool of national security has now become a distinct possibility in the near future, it claims.
The reasons for the dismissal of Drizhchaniy were not officially given, but rumor has it that transcripts of telephone intercepts, some including conversations of the president himself were put ont the president's desk by persons wishing to discredit Drizhchaniy, so demonstrating Drizhchaniy was working against the Head of State.
Viktor Yushchenko is also disturbed by the close ties between Drizhchaniy and the Prosecutor General's Office, and by SBU's reports that head of the Presidential Secretariat Viktor Baloha's is meeting with Viktor Medvedchuk [to many Viktors for my liking], and other matters.
The 'DzT' article speculates that the President is attempting to gain firmer control of the SBU to give him 'greater freedom of action' in the even of early parliamentary elections, and in event of a 'power scenario stand-off' between branches of state authority.
The article speculates that the current Prosecutor General Medvedko could be voted out of his job by VR deputies - the Socalist bloc assisting in his ouster, and Svyatoslav Piskun, [good heaven's] the former Attorney General and now a PoR VR deputy, returning to his old job at the Prosecutor General's Office, if the courts decide he was unfairly fired. [I recall reading that before and during the OR Piskun had been a regular visitor to Yuschenko's home in Kyiv]

While “mergers and acquisitions"are fai The customers of Dena Bank, Vijaya Bank and Bank of Baroda are finding that out for themselves. On 10 September 2018, the government proposed to merge the three state-own banks. The merged entity will be India’s third-largest lender and the second-largest in terms of deposits. According to P.S. Jayakumar, chief executive officer of Bank of Baroda, the merger will take four to six months to complete.
Bank mergers, however, may not be a bad thing for customers. “Bank mergers have become commonplace today. With institutions like banks falling in the ‘too big to fail’ category, one way to look at this is that your money is safer with a larger bank than a smaller one," said Nikhil Kamath, co- founder, Zerodha.
Here’s what to expect if your bank is next in line for a major consolidation.

If you have fixed deposits, the name of your bank might change but there’s no need to worry about interest rate changing. “Fixed deposits are contracts, and it is not possible for banks to change the rate mid-way. If you are locked into a fixed deposit, you can continue till maturity on the same interest rate even if the deposit rates of the merged entity are higher or lower," said Shetty.A more immediate impact of the proposed merger is the inconvenience caused to customers owing to bank employees going on strike. merger, because it will result in employees being transferred or made redundant.
If you have taken a loan from a bank that is on its way to a merger, you don’ up. Like fixed deposits, loans qualify as contracts, so your interest rate will remain unchanged. “In case of MCLR-based loans, the interest would be reset at the end of the reset period selected by the borrower. If the loan is on base rate, the customers will get the option of switching to MCLR after the merger. Otherwise they will be reset to the base rate decided upon by the merged entity," said Shetty. Your loan will simply be transferred to the merged entity and you will continue to pay EMIs as usual.
But shareholders don’t stand to lose much if the merger does happen. “Technically there should be no impact on the share value. However, there can be a brief or extended period of loss in valuation," said Rahul Jain, head, personal wealth advisory, Edelweiss. Indeed, following the announcement on 10 September, shares of Bank of Baroda plunged 13%. However, those of Dena Bank jumped 20% and Vijaya Bank gained 6%. “Experience suggests that smaller entities generally get a better value out of merger," said Jain.
“The Indian equity markets have evolved tremendously and protect retail investors in multiple ways. Whenever such corporate actions take place, the onus of fulfilling all the regulatory and legal requirements along with issuance or adjustment of shares lie with the company. On a particular date, an investor receives new shares directly credited into their demat account while the existing shares are debited," said Jain.
While it can be a confusing process, if handled well by the entities involved, a bank merger should not be too difficult for customers to navigate. Be prepared for small changes. |
en | N/A | N/A | Cielo Sky Bar is another fantastic high spot located at the intersection of Rama IV and Sukhumvit road in Bangkok. The view from the 46th floor of the Luk Condominium is surprising considering that the building is located more on the outskirt of town than the other famous rooftop but this is compensated by the height and the beautiful 180˙ panorama and the prices which are more affordable than Sky Bar, Hi-So at So Sofitel and Banyan Tree Vertigo.
Because of the large surface occupied at the top of the tower, the Cielo Sky Bar can afford plenty of large comfortable sofas to enjoy superb sunsets whenever there are. Next to the rooftop is a beautiful restaurant called but we didn’t get a chance to try it this time.
Don’t forget to go standing on the glass bridge right above 46 floors, it’s totally scary (at least for me who is hopelessly scared of heights).
