Household Hazards Report points the finger at dirty ingredients
I read a recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle citing a report put out by the Montana-based NGO Women’s Voices for the Earth. The Household Hazards report released July 24th described five hazardous ingredients typically found in common cleaning products (naturally, not method!) and their potential negative effects on people and the environment. It did a great job of talking about why to avoid conventional cleaning products.
method applauds the group for this report, and is happy to see that it has resonated well both with consumers and in the media (eg. San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, Seattle Post Intelligencer, etc). More people questioning the paradox of why to they use hazardous chemicals to make their homes cleaner can only bring good.
The report identified MEA, alkylphenol ethoxylates, phthalates, the glycol ethers EGBE and DEGME, and quaternary amine disinfectants as hazardous chemicals linked to the development of asthma and reproductive defects in the people that use them and their families. Naturally, method uses none of these compounds in its products.
Great to see people looking to make better choices about the way they clean their homes.
So, what's in Method?
Posted by: Theresa | August 03, 2007 at 03:56 PM
Hi Method! I love your products. The Chronicle made me realize that I need to look into the ingredients in all the products I use.
What exactly are your ingredients? Your all purpose spray lists
biodegradable surfactant
corn and coconut derived surfactants
Why not give us the specific chemical you use in your products? I'm guessing you are using ethanol (a quick google showed me that it's highly flammable and may cause liver, kidney and heart damage) and cocamidopropyl betaine (google shows it is considered a moderate hazard with aquatic toxicity). Aren't there safer ingredients that you can use that aren't flammable, won't target your organs or hurt the fish in our oceans?
By the way, the chronicle listed all the companies that did respond to the Women's voices for the environment survey - and you weren't one of them. Why not?
Thanks! =)

I also was wanting to know what ingredients are in your air fresheners. I corresponded a few times and did not get anywhere other than to be told you would be providing this info on your website within a month (which has not happened). I think if you are claiming to offer such non-toxic products you have an obligation to back this up with facts. When I contacted another company about the ingredients in their air freshener at least they told me. In fact, I thought this was required.
Posted by: caroline | August 19, 2007 at 12:27 PM
please advise what ingred is in your air freshners,ex, pill, its very important to us as we bought it thinking your products are natural . and much debate lately on the hazards of some products.

I think people should be careful Googling any ingredients because chemistry is a tricky subject. Ethanol is definitely flammable and toxic if ingested. Just like strong proof liquor. But the amounts required to be harmful in the human body are pretty high. And in fact the human body can catalyse oxidation of ethanol on it's own. If Method in fact chose ethanol it's because it's a good solvent for picking up dirt and grime. Much better than harmless stuff like water. What's most interesting to note is that once oxidized ethanol turns unto Acetaldehyde which is naturally occurring in many foods like ripe fruits and coffee. Further oxidization, which occurs when you spray it on a surface, turns ethanol into acetic acid or what we know better as Vinegar.
Responsible chemistry is about pros and cons. And ethanol is one of the better choices as a solvent as it's both plant derived, safe as part of a solution and degrades into things that are totally harmless.
If you're uncomfortable with that I'd suggest sticking to vinegar, water, baking soda and a lot of elbow grease. But as somebody with only a passing understanding of chemistry I think Method has done their homework and made stuff that's responsible and capable and a convenience.

The University of Kansas is a public university in Lawrence, a hilly city in northeastern Kansas. It is often abbreviated as "KU".
KU held its first classes in 1866. As of Spring 2011, over 30,000 students attended school there.
History
There was a plan to build a university in Kansas in 1855, but it didn't happen until Kansas became a state in 1861. The Kansas government needed to decide where to build the university. Their choices were Manhattan, Emporia, or Lawrence. On January 13, 1863, Kansas State University was built in Manhattan. The only cities left were Emporia and Lawrence. Amos A. Lawrence gave $10,000 and more than 40 acres (160,000 m2) of land for a university in Lawrence. The Kansas government liked that, so the government chose Lawrence.
On February 20, 1863, Kansas Governor Thomas Carney signed into law a bill creating the state university in Lawrence. The law was made if Lawrence gave a gift of a $15,000 endowment fund and a place for the university. The place would need to be in or near the town, of not less than forty acres (16 ha) of land.
On November 2, 1863, Governor Carney said Lawrence had met the conditions to get the state university. In 1864, the university was officially organized.
The university opened for classes on September 12, 1866, and the first class graduated in 1873.

Framingham is a city in the U.S. State of Massachusetts.
History
John Oldman was the first European to set foot on the land that is now Framingham. In 1633 he led a group of explorers down a Native American trail called Old Connecticut Path that is now Framingham's oldest road. The first European settler was John Stone, who built a home on the west bank of the Sudbury River in 1647. Starting in 1693, families from Salem came to escape the Salem witch trials. They settled in an area of Framingham that is still called Salem's End today.
Framingham's original name was Danforth's Farm, named after Thomas Danforth, who owned the land. Danforth's family came to Massachusetts from Framlingham, England. The first petition to incorporate Framingham as a town was submitted to the General Court in 1693, and was denied because Thomas Danforth did not want Framingham to become a town. After Danforth died in 1699, the people made Framingham a town in 1700.
In 1706 the first schoolhouse was built. The first schoolmaster was Deacon Joshua Hemenway.
On February 12, 1775, British General Thomas Gage sent spies to Framingham. They reported that the Framingham minutemen were very strong and tough, so General Gage sent his troops to Lexington and Concord instead. But the Framingham minutemen marched over and helped the weaker minutemen from Lexington and Concord to fight the British. On April 18 to 19, 1775, two militia companies from Framingham, totaling about 130 men, fought in the Battle of Lexington and Concord. Only one of the men was wounded.
Today, Framingham is known for the Framingham Heart Study.
On April 4, 2017 residents of the Town of Framingham voted to become the City of Framingham in a 5,684 - 5,579 vote.
Geography and Landmarks
As of the census (a counting of people) in 2005-2009, there are 66,411 people living in 27,328 houses. In 2000, there were 66,910 people in the town. In 2010, there were 68,318 people.
Framingham is sited on the ancient trail known as Old Connecticut Path. Old Connecticut Path is the oldest road in Framingham. Framingham's oldest public building is the First Baptist Church, designed by Sollaman Willard, a famous architect.
Framingham has three major business districts. The "Golden Triangle" was originally a three square-mile district on the eastern side of Framingham, bordered by Route 9, Route 30, and Speen Street in Natick. The area is one of the largest shopping districts in New England. The Golden Triangle has expanded since 1993 with construction of a BJ's Wholesale Club and a Super Stop & Shop just north of Route 30. Downtown Framingham is anchored by a town hall called the Memorial Building. An influx of Hispanic and Brazilian immigrants helped revitalize the district starting in the early 2000s. West Framingham is home to two of the town's seven auto dealerships. There are also several smaller business hubs in Framingham Center, Saxonville, Nobscot, and along the Route 9 Corridor. Framingham Center is the physical and historic center of town.
A dominating presence in education is Framingham State College.
The Framingham Peace and 9/11 Memorials are located across the street from Farm Pond.
Industry & Resources
Framingham's economy is predominantly derived from retail and office complexes. Breyers, Leggat McCall, The American Heart Association, and the American Cancer Society all have facilities in the area. The Dennison Manufacturing Company was founded here in 1844 as a jewelry and watch box manufacturing company by Aaron Lufkin Dennison.
Recreation
Nobscot Mountain is a private facility owned by the Knox Trail Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Edward F. Loring Skating Arena is near Farm Pond, for area communities and is open to the public. Winch Park has a basketball court, a tennis court, and two large fields used for football, baseball, and lacrosse. Framingham's Country Club along Salem Rd. on the South Side is a private club that features an 18-hole course for golf. |

The two-year slog is about to begin in South America, and there is again one more team vying for the highly-coveted World Cup berths.
CONMEBOL’s 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign is set to begin on Thursday, with Brazil returning to the mix after sitting out last cycle because it was hosting the 2014 edition of the tournament. Having another team competing for the four-and-a-half spots available for Russia 2018 will make for even more intense competition, and it adds further incentive to each of the 10 South American nations to try and start off on the right foot in the roller-coaster marathon that is South American qualifying.
While these first matches figure to be every bit as pressure-filled as usual, they will be lacking a bit of their usual star power. From Lionel Messi to Neymar to James Rodriguez to Luis Suarez, several of South America’s biggest names have already been ruled out for this initial round of matches. Others like Arturo Vidal, Alexis Sanchez and Jefferson Farfan could also miss out, leaving several national teams to have to already dig deeper into their player pool.
Even so, there will still be plenty of talent worth watching. The optimism and dreams of playing in the World Cup are there for all the countries involved, and veteran players and promising youngsters alike will need to perform in order to avoid falling behind the curve in a region that is considered by many around the world to be the most difficult.
Here is a closer look at the first round of CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying for 2018:
BOLIVIA vs. URUGUAY
(4 pm ET – beIN Sports Connect / 8 pm ET tape delay – beIN Sports / 4 am ET tape delay – beIN Sports Espanol)
Bolivia is always considered one of the underdogs to reach the World Cup from CONMEBOL, but it very well might be the favorite in the first qualifying match this cycle.
La Verde hosts Uruguay at high altitude in La Paz, which tends to prove difficult more often than not. Bolivia lost there only twice during the previous World Cup qualifying campaign, and will be hoping that the homefield advantage can help it collect three points.
Making things even more difficult for Uruguay head coach Oscar Tabarez – who is entering a remarkable third straight World Cup cycle at the helm of the Charruas – is that he will be without star strikers Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani. Suarez is still in the midst of serving his lengthy suspension, and Cavani is also banned after misconduct against Chile in this summer’s Copa America.
Uruguay has never won a game in La Paz, but new Bolivia manager Julio Cesar Baldivieso has not called in a bevy of experienced players on his squad. That lack of veteran savvy could hurt the Bolivians, who have not made it to a World Cup since 1994.
COLOMBIA vs. PERU
(4:30 pm ET – beIN Sports Espanol, beIN Sports Connect / 11 pm ET tape delay – beIN Sports)
The two nations have met twice this year, and they’ve settled for a draw each time. They are both hoping things play out differently this go-around.
Colombia and Peru will meet in Barranquilla, where temperatures could reach the low 90s on Thursday. That is why the Colombians scheduled the game for an afternoon kickoff, as they are hoping to gain an advantage from the sweltering conditions.
Los Cafeteros are looking to bounce back from a disappointing Copa America campaign and show the form that helped them make a historic run in the 2014 World Cup. Colombia head coach Jose Pekerman will, however, be without star playmaker James Rodriguez in this one because of injury.
Peru, meanwhile, is full of optimism after seeing new manager Ricardo Gareca guide the side to a third-place finish in Chile this summer. The Peruvians will be without starting left back Juan Manuel Vargas due to a knock and are unlikely to count on the recovering Jefferson Farfan, but they still have talents like experienced forwards Paolo Guerrero and Claudio Pizarro who can help make a difference.
VENEZUELA vs. PARAGUAY
(5 pm ET – beIN Sports, beIN Sports Connect / joined in progress at 6:30 pm ET – beIN Sports Espanol)
Venezuela shocked Colombia at the Copa America, but it could not translate the momentum picked up from that into more wins.
Currently on a four-game run without a victory, Venezuela is aiming to get back on track when it welcomes Paraguay to Ciudad Guayana. La Vinotinto will be leaning on captain Tomas Rincon and forward Salomon Rondon to help lead the charge, as it looks to grab three points in a qualifying campaign that all of Venezuela is hoping ends with a first trip to the World Cup.
In the way, however, stands a Paraguay side that finished fourth at the Copa America this summer. Los Guaranies should prove a formidable foe, especially with Toluca defender Paulo da Silva available for selection.
The Paraguayans might also feel confident going into this one because of the fact that they have lost just once to the Venezuelans in their last six meetings. That defeat was not that long ago, however, as it came in a home World Cup qualifier for Paraguay back in 2012.
CHILE vs. BRAZIL
(7:30 pm ET – beIN Sports, beIN Sports Connect / 12 am ET tape delay – beIN Sports Espanol)
Chile crossed off winning a Copa America title from the to-do list this summer. Now, the sights are on knocking off the same team that eliminated it from the previous two World Cups.
Chile and Brazil will square off in the first meaningful international match in Santiago since La Roja‘s Copa America capture in July. Chile is still riding the high of lifting that trophy, but it is possible to be without major pieces in Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sanchez because of respective knocks to the groin and knee.
Brazil is also missing a key cog, as talisman Neymar continues to serve a suspension stemming from this summer. That still will not be enough of an excuse for Selecao head coach Dunga, who is under pressure to rebound from a discouraging quarterfinals exit at the Copa America.
While Chile should prove a stiff test, the Brazilians have historically had the upperhand in this series. In fact, Brazil has not lost to the Chileans in its last 14 encounters, a stretch that dates back to 2000.
ARGENTINA vs. ECUADOR
(8 pm ET – beIN Sports Espanol, beIN Sports Connect / joined in progress at 9:30 pm ET on beIN Sports)
Leo Messi is out, and someone is going to have to step up and help pick up the considerable slack.
Argentina will begin the qualifying campaign at home in Buenos Aires without its star player. Messi is out due to an injury sustained while playing for Barcelona, leaving Albiceleste manager Gerardo Martino to have to count on someone else to help carry the offensive load as his team looks to stay unbeaten in 2015.
The most likely candidate is Sergio Aguero, who scored five goals for Manchester City over the weekend, but there are other candidates like Carlos Tevez and Angel Di Maria who can also change the outcome of a game. In any case, it has already been confirmed that Aguero will be wearing Messi’s famed No. 10 during these qualifiers.
Messi might not be around, but the challenge of facing the Argentines is still a big one for Ecuador. La Tricolor has not beaten the South American powerhouse in their last five meetings, and it also endured a forgettable Copa America campaign this summer. Still, key veterans like Antonio Valencia and Felipe Caicedo are available and capable of helping pick up at least a point.

Mary Schmidt Campbell: Journey to the deanship of Tisch
You can't help noticing Mary Schmidt Campbell's energy and sense of purpose. They're in her brisk stride; in the quick movement of her eyes as they check out everyone and everything in her orbit; the okay-let's-get-this-done set of her face.
Observing her from a sofa in the reception area of her New York University offices, I felt my curiosity rising. Sure, I had read her bio: distinguished educator, author and prominent advocate of the arts; born to Elaine and Harvey Schmidt in Philadelphia on Oct. 21, 1947; B.A., Swarthmore College; English lit. teacher, Nkumbi International College, Zambia; M.A. and Ph.D., Syracuse University; executive director, The Studio Museum in Harlem, 1977-1987; Cultural Affairs Commissioner, City of New York, 1987-1991; American Academy of Arts and Sciences inductee; and tons more that you can find on the Web.
Impressive, yes, but so were many other bios I had read.
I soon figured out why I was intrigued by this trim, African-American baby boomer who was dean of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, the world-renowned center of theater and film that had formed many of the country's top film directors, Broadway producers, actors, writers, theater historians and critics. En route to the deanship, Campbell had made a two-year teaching stop at a little known high school in rural Zambia. That was special in my book, having moved to Africa once myself. I couldn't wait to ask the dean about her experience.
The Africa experience
How did Campbell end up teaching English literature to southern African refugees in Zambia? "I got married in my junior year in college and a month later my husband was drafted," she explains. "[He] applied for and received conscientious objector status for Vietnam. We found out that this school in Zambia was approved by the draft board as a place where conscientious objectors could serve."
That was news to me. I never knew that conscientious objectors still had to serve somewhere.
For many diasporan Blacks, living in Africa causes you to wage war with yourself, to question who you really are, what you stand for and where you truly belong. Victory is coming up with honest answers then acting accordingly. Campbell went through that war in Zambia. "I learned that I was really an American. I felt a strong sense of proprietorship in that I have every right to everything in [America], that I'm not a guest here. Those two years made me feel very fierce about what I thought I was," she says. And about what she could live with. "I understood that the role of women [in Zambia] was not one where I felt I could realize my full potential. There were constraints at that time," she says.
When the first of her three sons was born in Zambia, "They embraced him in a way they did not embrace me. They totally absorbed him," Campbell says. "I could see the beauty of that kind of community. On the other hand, it was not for me."
Falling in love with art
Campbell returned to the United States, enrolled in Syracuse University's graduate program in art history and plunged headlong into another love affair, this time with art. "I really found, then, the field I really love," she says. A year after she graduated, she became a curator of the Everson Museum of Fine Arts in Syracuse and the art editor of The Syracuse New Times. "I fell in love with museums," she says.
But Campbell's destiny with the arts was sealed long before Syracuse. Here's how she describes a childhood passion in an earlier interview: "When I was growing up, admission to movies in my neighborhood cost 10 and 25 cents. You could spend the entire day there, and I very often did. There were some films that I loved to watch over and over again as a child. I remember The Wizard of Oz. It was so magical to me, the moment that Dorothy comes out of the house and it's black and white, and then she opens the door and it's Oz. I lived for that moment when she opened the door. Or The King and I. A friend of our family's took me and her children to see The King and I. When the movie was over, she said, �Mary, it's time to go.' I absolutely would not move. So we sat through the whole film a second time. I can remember that kind of magic and being captivated. I can also remember being completely and psychologically engaged."
The challenge of Harlem
There's nothing more deflating than putting your passion into what you believe is absolutely wonderful for your community only to be rewarded with a yawn. When Campbell encountered that yawn in her early days as executive director of The Studio Museum in Harlem, she rose to the challenge. "The core mission was to celebrate African-American artists, but there seemed to be very little interest [in] the community. There were the ceremonies that took place, where the community celebrated, [such as] Kwanzaa celebrations, the book fair every year. The rest of the year you could hear a pin drop."
The goal, then, was to "reconfigure the museum" in order to make the core mission more attractive to the community, the art world and beyond, she says. A multipronged strategy evolved. At the time the museum was housed in a rented loft at 125th Street and Fifth Avenue. "We knew we needed more ground-floor space to be more visible," Campbell says. A better space was found on 125th Street between Lenox Avenue and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard, one of Harlem's busiest strips.
Something had to be done about the exhibits. "Instead of just putting up an exhibit, we began to create zones of activity around that exhibit film, music, concerts. Something happening around the show created an expectation of excitement," Campbell says. An artist-in-residence program was established and the museum also began to assemble its own permanent collection. "It has been one of the few places collecting the major works of Africans," Campbell says.
Thus began the museum's turnaround. The Studio Museum today, with its unparalleled collection of 19th and 20th century African-American art, 20th century African and Caribbean art and traditional African art and artifacts, plus a host of activities that reach well beyond the local community, is a must-see New York attraction.
Campbell had left her mark. "It was gratifying, because when I came in 1977, [the museum] was a ruin," she says.
The public policy days
Who, then, could blame Mayor Edward Koch for tapping such a maverick in 1987 to be commissioner of cultural affairs? "When I got into government, it was the height of homelessness. I remember wanting to do art in public schools. [Education] Chancellor Richard Green took my staff and me to one of the hotels for homeless families on 42nd Street and he said, If you can do art for this population, we can talk,'" Campbell recalls. "We did and he gave full support. It was the most remarkable program I had ever seen. We had teenagers working at the Museum of Natural History, in astronomy. The impact on their grades, behavior, capacity to focus in school was tremendous. It really demonstrated to me how really potent the arts are."
It also was a lesson to the institutions that had balked. "Talent and intelligence are equal opportunity [gifts]. They couldn't care less whether you're rich or poor. Our institutions that profess to care about the arts have to find a way to tap into that talent no matter where it resides. It means developing programmatic interventions, such as ways to attract inner-city kids to film," Campbell says.
Bringing it all together
Tisch is where it all comes together for Campbell the passion for art, the desire to educate, advocacy for the less privileged. "There's a tremendous amount left to do," she says. "There's a huge division that's sprung between the haves and the have-nots in terms of access to higher education. Prisons are now the most heavily funded. Higher education funding is down. We've abandoned education as an engine of social mobility. That will put us as a country at a deep disadvantage."
She intends to do something about that. "I have access to recruitment policies. One of my chief themes will be what will be our strategy to attach ourselves to the public high schools committed to the arts," she says.
In Campbell's office, close to her desk, a hand-painted, floor-length cape is mounted on a stand. A close look at the garment reveals motifs from the paintings of African-American artist Romaire Bearden. As a doctoral candidate, Campbell had written a definitive study on Bearden.
The cape is striking. It's a gift to Campbell, crafted by design students. Campbell's eyes sparkle as she explains its significance. "It's Prospero's cape, my favorite costume. I like Prospero because he could make things happen," she says of the protagonist in Shakespeare's play, The Tempest.
How apropos, I thought.

TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2 Showcases Improved Riding Physics in New Trailer
The world’s most punishing road race returns in 2020, but you won’t have to sign your own death warrant to take part. That’s because developer Kylotenn is busily reading a brand new TT Isle of Man video game experience for next year. Ride on the Edge 2 is set to make big improvements to bike physics this time around, and today a new trailer showcases the new features today.
For the sequel, the bike physics are said to have been rebuilt from the ground up to create more realistic behavior. This includes the gyroscopic effect, which is now completely integrated for more precise steering. Speed wobbles have been added to alert riders that a fall could be imminent.
Elsewhere, brakes and shock absorbers have also been redesigned to pick up more subtle undulations on the road more convincingly.
As before, beyond improving your lap times by taking more efficient racing lines and staying sticking behind other riders to benefit from the slipstream, there’s many other factors to management over the course of the near forty-mile race.
This includes managing wear and tear-offs, as well as monitoring the brakes, suspensions, engine and tire temperature.
The original Ride on the Edge wasn’t anywhere as good as I’d expected, but today’s trailer has me hopeful that it’s going to much better this time around.
TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2 will be available on PC and consoles in 2020, though no specific release date has been confirmed.

Artur "Atze" Brauner (born Abraham Brauner; 1 August 1918 - 7 July 2019) was a Polish-born German movie producer and entrepreneur. He created over 300 movies from 1946 through 2019. He was Jewish and many of his relatives were killed by Nazis in the 1940s.
Brauner produced Sag' die Wahrheit, one of the first movies produced in Germany after World War II. He also produced Morituri, but received negative reviews and failed at the box office. He began to work with German Hollywood-based producers such as Robert Siodmak and later Fritz Lang who started a revival of Dr. Mabuse.
Some of his movies dealt with the Holocaust such as Die Weisse Rose, The Plot to Assassinate Hitler (Der 20. Juli) and Man and Beast (Mensch und Bestie).
Brauner died on 7 July 2019 in Berlin at the age of 100. |
The Ongoing Struggle for Graphics Supremacy
Oct 16, 2003 10:45 AM PT
Graphics technology leaders ATI and Nvidia have been rolling out new innovations at a steady pace in the past several years, competing for desktop partnerships and mind share. The two companies have often been compared to Intel and AMD in the way they've battled furiously, but ATI and Nvidia don't have quite as much animosity toward each other.
Some sources even claim that ATI and Nvidia recently have agreed to put the brakes on the speed at which the companies release new graphics products. The story goes that both companies are weary of putting so much money into research and development -- and of the subsequent hammering from the press if launch dates are missed.
There is also a chance that the companies have detected signs of resistance from first-adopter consumers who have begun to see the large amount of money they're spending on the latest graphics cards as wasted. After all, a few months down the line, new chipsets come out and effectively obsolesce their once-top-of-the-line cards.
Potent Graphics Processors
But even if the rumors are true that ATI and Nvidia have agreed to a truce of sorts, the pace of competition between these two graphics giants seems not to have slowed one whit. Earlier this month, for example, Nvidia and ATI both announced new products for notebook PCs at the CeBIT trade show in Hannover, Germany. The notebook news came on the heels of both companies announcing new desktop chips.
As the current market leader for mobile graphics chips, ATI plans to offer two new mobile products based on its Radeon 9000 series of desktop chips: the Mobility Radeon 9200 for mainstream laptops and the Mobility Radeon 9600 for performance systems. ATI also recently announced the Mobility Radeon 7000, an integrated chipset that combines a graphics processor with a chipset for controlling basic PC functions.
Along with faster processing and support for some of the enhanced graphics technologies included in Microsoft's DirectX 9 -- the latest version of Microsoft's PC graphics library -- the latest ATI chips include several new features. Overdrive, a package of hardware and software improvements in the 9200 and 9600 chipsets, allows those chips to run at higher-than-rated speeds if conditions permit.
The ATI Overdrive technology is essentially an automated version of overclocking. Thermal sensors in the chips monitor the temperature inside the laptop and throttle back the chips' speed if things get too hot.
Flexfit Packaging Design
The new Radeons also use "Flexfit," a new packaging design that lets notebook makers use the same motherboard with different graphics processors. The design will be a cost-saver for notebook makers and ultimately should allow laptop owners to upgrade their graphics cards.
The Mobility Radeon 9600 is expected to appear in laptops from major manufacturers starting in the upcoming months, followed shortly by the 9200 and 7000.
Meanwhile, Nvidia has announced two mobile chips that are based on the GeForce FX -- the oft-delayed desktop chip still making its way to retailers. The GeForce FX Go 5600 and 5200 include all of the DirectX 9 features from the desktop GeForce FX, plus advanced power management technology and a host of new multimedia features for displaying DVD and streaming video.
For example, the chip can analyze a video that's being displayed and can automatically enhance the presentation for the right balance of image detail and motion sensitivity.
Other Graphics Players
ATI and Nvidia aren't the only companies working on advanced graphics technologies. SGI, for example, recently debuted the Silicon Graphics Onyx4 Ultimate Vision, the fourth generation of the company's visualization technology.
SGI's single-system configuration can scale from two to three graphics processors, and it is said to offer eight times the graphics bandwidth of competitors' products -- at a price one-fifth that of earlier versions of the company's high-end graphics workstations.
Meanwhile, software developer AliasWavefront, a major player in Hollywood's computer-generated graphics industry, is trying to make a move in the market beyond its core developer base. For example, the company recently debuted SketchBook Pro, a companion application to the Tablet PC.
"Alias believes the innovations have the potential to change the way people collaborate," spokesperson Brett A. Gold told TechNewsWorld.
The software combines image-processing capabilities with annotation and presentation applications. "Users can use it as a mobile tool to annotate images, sketch ideas and present them on a PC -- when away from their desk," said Gold.
Onset of the Multimedia Era
One developer has been using tools from AliasWavefront to develop a real-time game that could revolutionize several industries. Called I-Race, the project is going live this fall on TV in the United Kingdom and, soon after that, on cable or satellite TV around the world, after an 18-month programming effort by 30 software engineers.
A joint venture between Telewest, the United Kingdom's second largest cable operator, and game developer VIS Entertainment (the maker of best-selling video games like State of Emergency), I-Race will be the world's first computer-generated TV channel.
Viewers will be able to participate actively in the animated races -- not just place bets on prospective winning stallions. They will be able to buy, name and train the animated racehorses, race against other enthusiasts and compete for prize money, just like the owners of real racehorses.
"What we have accomplished is the automated generation of broadcast-quality animated pictures, which wasn't particularly easy to do," Scott Maxwell, the software architect and project director for I-Race at VIS ITV, told TechNewsWorld.
Broadcast Graphics Everywhere
Programming for this technology was done largely in C++. The horses and racing stadiums were created with Alias Wavefront's Maya software. Kadara software was used to create the "virtual presenters" who broadcast the races. Windows 2000 was the operating system used on the computers running the races, and Nvidia GeForce 4 graphics cards were employed on the 17 PCs used to render the environments and horses in real-time.
Multiple rendering streams will produce the real-time animated broadcasts. "The key driver of the project was having to do it in real-time," said Chris van der Kyle, programmer and CEO of VIS Entertainment. "To convince spectators that the races are not fixed, nobody can know the outcome of the race before it runs. So the race actually does run live."
Developers like these likely will keep graphics companies -- especially ATI, Nvidia and SGI -- biting at each other's heels in the race to create the fastest, most capable graphics chipsets and workstations.
While there are certainly rumors in the air about Nvidia and ATI coming to terms about the pace of their development, neither company wants to be outpaced by a third-party upstart. In that sense, both will almost certainly keep pushing the envelope.

Yesterday I had an early shift at work so I watched three love-movies. First "The Fault In Our Stars" that made me cry 10 times. Since i cried so much I watched "Frozen" as second, and the third movie was "Endless Love". If you are a tumblr girl like me you must have seen gifs and photos of the movie and even reblogged stuff from the movie. I didn't know the gif bellow was from the movie. And while this car scene and a bunch of other cool scenes was playing, the best part was actually the song. Pumpin Blood- NONONO was playing and I was almost crying because I loved life as I watched the movie and listened to the song. |

Getting nostalgic with a Nintendo 64
While I was going through Typo Trawler a few weeks ago, I found a Nintendo 64 for auction on Ebay for $10. It was in perfect working condition, well, as perfect as those consoles could be, so I bought it. I also bought two games, Super Mario and Mortal Kombat for $3 each. With shipping, I got the console and two games for $25.
I know that Nintendo 64 is actually a crappy system. If you’re lucky enough to find a console that does work, half the time the games won’t play. I also had to clean mine really well before it finally played either games. But that’s not the only reason I decided to get one. This along with the Dreamcast was the only video game system I’m familiar with. I remember when I was eight and playing Super Mario with my friends.
Regular Nintendos and Super Nintendos are a lot more expensive. Original Playstations are cheap, but I’m not familiar with any of the games. I’m still not very good with video games, but I’m working on it. While my boyfriend is at work today, I’m practicing my moves so I can finally beat him in Mortal Kombat. He found me the codes to do moves with my favorite characters (the two Asian ladies and the one with the silver hair) and I practice while he’s gone. |
A party is a person or group of persons that make up a single entity for the purposes of the law. They are a participant in legal proceeding and have an interest in the outcome. Parties include: the plaintiff, the defendant, a petitioner or a respondent. They can also be a cross-complainant (a defendant who sues someone else in the same lawsuit) or a cross-defendant (a person sued by a cross-complainant). A person who only appears in the case as a witness is not considered a party.
Courts use various terms to identify the role of a particular party in civil litigation. They usually call the party that brings a lawsuit as the plaintiff, or, in older American cases, the party of the first part. The party against whom the case was brought as the defendant, or, in older American cases, the party of the second part.

There’s nothing as unpredictable as the British weather – as Angel experienced when caught in last Wednesday’s hailstorm.
She’d just arrived at Carter’s Park in Holbeach ready for an outdoor fitness class (with suncream applied) – when the heavens opened and hailstones the size of broad beans came from the sky.
The class was cancelled and Angel was left running for shelter with a fitness mat draped over her head!
• Spalding’s knitting nannas have added to their woollen sculpture trail along the riverbank in Churchgate. The latest addition is a figure devoted to peace. Amen, amen, amen. These wonderful ladies, the oldest of whom is 90, keep on proving that nannas know best.
• Angel wasn’t filled with joy when she got stuck in a double-tractor convoy fest along one of our local roads. At least half-a-mile in the distance there was a tractor chugging along, with an assortment of perhaps 20-30 cars and lorries sedately following, and then another tractor “towing” a few more cars.
Angel remembered the police Twitter messages about being stuck behind a tractor for two miles in the country is the same as getting stuck at two traffic lights in the city ... then it didn’t seem so bad.
But rear view mirrors are wonderful and, if tractor drivers consulted them more often, perhaps they could be persuaded to pull in before an impatient driver recklessly pulls out?
• Speaking of impatience, Angel’s chariot was overtaken by a speeding driver who couldn’t be bothered to stick to the 30mph limit on the main road through Quadring. The overtake was on a sweeping blind bend just before the crossroads. No crash. But what luck. |

All possible typical contamination sources of the vacuum sampling system are removed using the SAS Super Isolator. An interesting application of this air sampler is that several heads can be controlled by a single SAS control unit providing a practical and economical solution.
- Fast sampling time - 180 litres per minute flow rate, taking less than six minutes to sample 1000 l of air
- Low running cost and operational flexibility - no need to purchase expensive, proprietary media strips, cassettes, or plates; standard 55 mm contact plates or 90 mm Petri dishes can be used
- Full traceability - records day, time, site, volume of air sampled, and operator's name to ensure full traceability
- Easy to use - large back lit screen with intuitive menu; active operation status confirmed by flashing red LED
- Multiple language choice - programmable language selection for English, Spanish, German, and Frenc |
Rabbi Meir Zvi Bergman (born in 1930) is the head of the Rashbi Yeshiva and a member of the Torah Elders Council of Degel HaTorah.
Biography
Born in Jerusalem between the walls to Rabbi Moshe Bergman and Alta Liva Raizil, daughter of Rabbi Yona Ze'ev Hershler. He is seventh generation in Jerusalem, descendant of Rabbi Eliezer Bergman.
He was orphaned by his mother who contracted typhus when he was seven years old. In the 1950s, his father settled in Miron, and was among the founders of the Bnei Akiva Yeshiva there. In the year 5575 his father moved to Bnei Brak and founded the Rashbi yeshiva there.
In 1971, he studied for a year at a small yeshiva in the Mekor Haim neighborhood led by Rabbi Moshe Tikocinski, later the overseer of the Slabodka Yeshiva.
At the age of 11, he began studying at Yeshiva Tefarat Zion with Rabbi Michal Yehuda Lipkowitz. During his studies he stayed for about two years in the house of the "Chazon Ish" with whom he studied. After that, he studied at Yeshiva Lomza in Petach Tikva with Rabbi Reuven Katz, the overseer Rabbi Eliyahu Doshnitzer and Rabbi Elazar Menachem Man Shach - who later became his father-in-law. At Yeshiva Lomza he studied in company with his friend Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, who later said that he studied with 'Rabbi Meir' (as he called Rabbi Bergman) more than twenty tractates in study!
In 8th of Sivan 5771 he married Deborah, the daughter of Rabbi Shach. The Kiddoshin was arranged by a relative of the family, Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer. The matchmaker was the Chazon Ish. After his marriage, he studied in Kollel Chazon Ish, in fellowship with Rabbi Ya'akov Israel Kanievsky, with his friend from the Lomeja Yeshiva Rabbi Gedaliah Nadel and with Rabbi Haim Kanievsky. Rabbi Bergman served as a public emissary during the terrible days at the Chazon Ish, and after his death at the temple including the Chazon Ish. Later, Rabbi Ya'akov Israel Kanievsky asked to serve in this position at the Beit Meir yeshiva.
He taught at the Kalatsak-Rehovot Yeshiva (the South Yeshiva) where his father-in-law, Rabbi Shach, served earlier.
After that, at the behest of his father-in-law, he founded the Rashbi's Kollel in the Zichron Meir neighborhood in Bnei Brak, in which he gives lessons and talks to the abrachs. With the establishment of the kollel, Rabbi Shach financed the salaries of the abrachs, and later Rabbi Shach ordered him to travel abroad for the sake of holding the kollel. In the second decade of the 21st century, he stopped traveling abroad, and his son Rabbi Ben Zion assists in the management and holding of the kollel.
Over the years, he avoided engaging in public affairs , with the exception of exceptional cases, such as in the year of the establishment of the Degal HaTorah movement, when he served as the emissary of his father-in-law, the movement's founder , Rabbi Shach, in all matters related to the establishment and success of the new movement. Also, before the special elections for the Prime Minister - 2001, the newspaper Yad Naman published his decision to vote for Ariel Sharon, even though going to the polls is not for the purpose of choosing an ultra-Orthodox party.
On the eve of Pesach in the year 5773, he was appointed to serve as a member of the Council of Torah Elders of Degel HaTorah together with Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach and Rabbi Gershon Edelstein. Since then he began to engage and express his opinion in public matters. During the controversy in the Lithuanian public, he refrained from taking an active position, but continued to support the Torah Banner Party and the newspaper Yated Naman.
In his conversations, he usually refers to issues of opinion that are on the agenda of ultra-Orthodox Judaism, in which he echoes the conservative teachings of his father-in-law, Rabbi Shach, such as the issue of Jewish immigration to the Temple Mount, the return of territories, and the recruitment of Yeshiva members. It is considered an authority by many Torah scholars as representing the opinion of Rabbi Shach who is accepted in the yeshiva world as the father of the ultra-orthodox view in the modern generation, and from time to time we consult him and use his testimonies about Rabbi Shach's instructions and positions.
In the 2020 elections in the United State, he publicly supported President Donald Trump because he is "good for the Jews". After the attack in the city of Bnei Brak on March 29, 2022, he attacked the calls directed to the ultra-orthodox sector to obtain a license to possess weapons.
After the disaster at Hilult, Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai called for a poignant soul-searching in the ultra-orthodox public, in view of the many differences that exist between each other, saying that the disaster is measure against measure because "we push each other".
Family
Married to Deborah, daughter of Rabbi Shach. The couple has nine children, eight sons and a daughter.
His eldest son, Rabbi Ben Zion Bergman, is the son-in-law of Rabbi David Zingerevich who was an overseer at the Ponibezh yeshiva. He was crowned by him as his replacement in the leadership of the Rashbi yeshiva.
Rabbi Isser Zalman, presides over the 'Mishnat Rabino' collective on Sokolov Street in Bnei Brak.
Shoshana is married to Rabbi Haim Fass, one of Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach 's old students, and he serves as a lawyer and a consultant in Lakewood, New Jersey.
Rabbi Yishchar, is the founder and director of the Ish Ways for Bnei Avrach Sephardim in Bnei Brak, and previously served as Elad's appointed council member. In 1990, it was published in the press that he is close to Likud Police Minister Roni Milo, and that his grandfather , Rabbi Shach , forbade him to accept a government appointment in the Ministry of Social Affairs, in order to remove his lips from saying that he caused Rabbi Shach's support for the stinking exercise tarfod and the establishment of Yitzhak Shamir's government.
Rabbi Asher became famous for publishing the books "Letters and Articles" of his grandfather, Rabbi Shach, and for composing dozens of other books.
His brothers-in-law are Rabbi Yisrael Zvi Yair Danziger the Rebbe of Alexander , and Rabbi Yaakov Goldman Rabbi of Zweihel Chassidism in Bnei Brak, father of Rabbi Eliezer Goldman the Rebbe of Zweihel in the United States.

The 2022-23 UEFA Champions League will be the 68th season of Europe's premier club football tournament organised by UEFA.
The final will be played at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey. The stadium was originally appointed to host the 2020 UEFA Champions League Final, but both this, and the 2021 final which had been eventually re-allocated to the Ataturk, were moved due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The winner of the 2022-23 UEFA Champions League will automatically qualify for the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League group stage, and also earn the right to play against the winner of the 2022-23 UEFA Europa League in the 2023 UEFA Super Cup.
Real Madrid are the defending champions, having won a record fourteenth title in the previous edition.
Association team allocation
A total of 78 teams from 53 of the 55 UEFA member associations participate in the 2022-23 UEFA Champions League (the exceptions being Russia, who are banned from participating due to 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and Liechtenstein, which does not organise a domestic league). The association ranking based on the UEFA association coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:
Associations 1-4 each have four teams qualify.
Associations 5-6 each have three teams qualify.
Associations 7-15 (except Russia) each have two teams qualify.
Associations 16-55 (except Liechtenstein) each have one team qualify.
The winners of the 2021-22 UEFA Champions League and 2021-22 UEFA Europa League are each given an additional entry if they do not qualify for the 2022-23 UEFA Champions League through their domestic league.
Association ranking
For the 2022-23 UEFA Champions League, the associations are allocated places according to their 2021 UEFA association coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2016-17 to 2020-21.
Apart from the allocation based on the association coefficients, associations may have additional teams participating in the Champions League, as noted below:
- Additional berth for UEFA Europa League title holders
Distribution
The following is the access list for this season.
Due to the suspension of Russia for the 2022-23 European season, and since the Champions League title holders (Real Madrid) have qualified via their domestic league, the following changes to the access list have been made:
The champions of association 11 (Scotland) and 12 (Ukraine) enter the group stage instead of the play-off round (Champions Path).
The champions of association 13 (Turkey) and 14 (Denmark) enter the play-off round instead of the third qualifying round (Champions Path).
The champions of association 15 (Cyprus) and 16 (Serbia) enter the third qualifying round instead of the second qualifying round (Champions Path).
The champions of associations 18 (Croatia), 19 (Switzerland), 20 (Greece) and 21 (Israel) enter the second qualifying round instead of the first qualifying round (Champions Path).
The runners-up of associations 10 (Austria) and 11 (Scotland) enter the third qualifying round instead of the second qualifying round (League Path).

We continue to work on personal responsibility in our house in raising our kids. This past week I had an early meeting and told the kids on my way out of the house they needed to ride the bus. Maleigha called shortly before 8 a.m. to share they had missed the bus and wanted to know if they could just stay home and do online school instead of walking. My response was nope, but you can walk to me, and I will give you a lift as soon as my meeting is done. I fully anticipated a laundry list of excuses as to why they missed the bus. Much to my surprise, each one of them took responsibility for their own part in not paying attention to the time and missing their bus. I like to think that is progress!
Our Standards of Behavior at Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics also highlight personal responsibility in the ownership and accountability section. Specifically the sentence “Accept responsibility for my actions and do the right thing” is a great reminder to us to adjust our sails. We often get caught up in either complaining about a problem or making excuses. We all do it, myself included, and need the reminders to refocus not just our attitudes but our personal responsibility as well. As we are officially in the spring season now - known as the season for new beginnings - so it is a perfect time to complete a refresh on your attitude and perspective. Let’s collectively head into the next few months with positivity and personal ownership. I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish! |
Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (7 September 1707 - 16 April 1788), usually called Buffon, was a French naturalist. He was also a mathematician, cosmologist and encyclopedic author.
His collected information influenced the next two generations of naturalists, including Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck and Georges Cuvier.
Buffon published 35 volumes of his Histoire naturelle during his lifetime, and nine more were published after his death, for a total of 44 volumes. "Truly, Buffon was the father of all thought in natural history in the second half of the 18th century". p330
Buffon held the position of Intendant (Director) of the Jardin du Roi, now called the Jardin des Plantes; it is the French equivalent of Kew Gardens. The Lycee Buffon in Paris is named after him.
His work
Natural history
Buffon is best remembered for his Histoire naturelle. "Written in a brilliant style, this work was read ... by every educated person in Europe".p330 It was translated into many different languages, making him one of the most widely read authors of the day, a rival to Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Voltaire.
In the opening volumes of the Histoire naturelle Buffon questioned the usefulness of mathematics, criticized Carl Linnaeus's taxonomical approach to natural history, outlined a history of the Earth with little relation to the Biblical account, and proposed a theory of reproduction which ran counter to existing ideas.
The early volumes were condemned by the Faculty of Theology at the Sorbonne. Buffon published a retraction, but he continued publishing the offending volumes without any change.
Buffon noted that despite similar environments, different regions of the world have distinct plants and animals. This observation, later known as Buffon's Law, may be the first principle of biogeography.
Common descent
Buffon understood the idea of common descent, and discussed it a number of times. This does not mean he believed in it. Probably he did not, but he discussed it fairly openly on a number of occasions. Interpreting his ideas is not simple, for he returned to topics many times in the course of his work.
"...all the animals might be regarded as constituting but a single family... one could say... that the ape is of the family of man... that man and ape have a common origin: that, in fact, all the families, among plants as well as animals, have come from a common stock, and that all animals are descended from a single animal, from which have sprung in the course of time... all other races of animals"...
"But this is by no means a proper representation of nature. We are assured by the authority of revelation that... the first pair of every species issued fully formed from the hands of the Creator".p332
In volume 14 he argued that all the world's quadrupeds had developed from an original set of just thirty-eight quadrupeds. On this basis, he is sometimes considered a "transformist" and a precursor of Darwin.
Earth science
In Les epoques de la nature (1778) Buffon discussed the origins of the solar system, speculating that the planets had been created by a comet's collision with the sun.
He also suggested that the earth originated much earlier than the 4004 BC of Archbishop James Ussher. Basing his figures on the cooling rate of iron tested at his Laboratory le Petit Fontenet at Montbard, he calculated that the age of the earth was 75,000 years. Once again, his ideas were condemned by the Sorbonne, and again he issued a retraction to avoid further problems.
Relevance to modern biology
Charles Darwin wrote in his preliminary historical sketch added to the third edition of On the Origin of Species: "Passing over... Buffon, with whose writings I am not familiar." Then, from the fourth edition onwards, he amended this to say that "the first author who in modern times has treated it [evolution] in a scientific spirit was Buffon. But as his opinions fluctuated greatly at different periods, and as he does not enter on the causes or means of the transformation of species, I need not here enter on details."
The paradox of Buffon is that, according to Ernst Mayr:
He was not an evolutionist, yet he was the father of evolutionism. He was the first person to discuss a large number of evolutionary problems, problems that before Buffon had not been raised by anybody.... he brought them to the attention of the scientific world.
Except for Aristotle and Darwin, no other student of organisms [whole animals and plants] has had as far-reaching an influence.
He brought the idea of evolution into the realm of science.
He developed a concept of the "unity of type," a precursor of comparative anatomy.
More than anyone else, he was responsible for the acceptance of a long-time scale for the history of the earth.
He was the founder of biogeography.
And yet, he hindered evolution by his frequent endorsement of the immutability of species. He provided a criterion of species, fertility among members of a species, that was thought impregnable. |
This week, Dr. Amanda Parks, an infectious disease specialist at Hilton Head Hospital, discusses food poisoning.
Question: We've been hearing a lot lately about food poisoning after a national fast food restaurant chain was linked to both an E.coli and norovirus breakout. How can we prevent food-borne illnesses at home or on the go?
Answer: Food-borne illness, or food poisoning, occurs when you consume contaminated food or beverages with a variety of germs like bacteria, viruses, parasites, or toxic substances like molds and contaminants.
One in 6 Americans are affected a year by 1 or more of 250 different foodborne diseases including E.coli, Salmonella, Listeria and Norovirus.
Once the contaminated food in ingested, the toxin enters the body through the gastrointestinal tract. Sometimes there is a delay before symptoms of food poisoning begin. This delay may range from hours to days, depending on the germ and on how many germs you swallowed. The most common symptoms of food poisoning are nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
Raw foods of animal origin are the most likely to be contaminated. This includes raw meat and poultry, raw eggs, unpasteurized milk and raw shellfish.
Raw fruits and vegetables can be of concern but washing can decrease contamination. At home while you are preparing meals, microorganisms can be transferred from one food to another by using the same knife, cutting board or utensil to prepare both without washing the surface or utensil in between.
There are four key steps to follow to keep you and your family safe from food-borne illnesses: clean, separate, cook and chill.
There are four key steps to follow to keep you and your family safe from food-borne illnesses: clean, separate, cook and chill.
Dr. Amanda Parks
You need to clean fresh fruits and vegetables. Wash your hands and surfaces often because germs can survive in many places around your kitchen including utensils and cutting boards. Separate raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs from ready-to-eat foods even after you’ve cleaned your hands and surfaces thoroughly.
Cook to the right temperature. People often consider food “done” by checking its color and texture, but there’s no way to be sure it’s safe without following a few important but simple steps. Use a food thermometer to ensure that foods are cooked to a safe internal temperature: 145°F for whole meats, 160°F for ground meats, and 165°F for all poultry. Refrigerate your food promptly. Germs can grow in many foods within 2 hours unless you refrigerate them properly.
Most illnesses will clear out of the body within two or three days. You should contact your doctor if you have high fever, blood in the stool, prolonged vomiting, signs of severe dehydration and feeling dizzy when standing up.
Hydration is key. Drinking at least 64 fluid ounces daily is recommended. It should also be noted that these illnesses can be much more severe in immunocompromised patients.
This would include anyone receiving chemotherapy, chronic steroids, immunosuppressive regimens, pregnant, HIV positive, the elderly and newborns. For this reason they should seek medical care as promptly as possible. One of the most important things to remember, frequent hand washing can prevent a multitude of diseases.

Some enemies have changed colors. An example is a standard Kritter is originally green and is changed to purple or purple Klaptraps being changed to red.
A scrapbook feature has been added. This causes hidden cameras to hide all over Donkey Kong Island.
Several bosses have new strategies. This includes;
Queen B. - Uses smaller Zingers as a shield when she is attacked.
Really Gnawty - Causes stalagmites to fall with a giant pounce.
Dumb Drum - Can only be defeated by the use of a TNT Barrel rather than all the enemies having to be defeated.
Master Necky Snr. - During the first round, Master Necky aids Master Necky Snr. in battle. After one is defeated, the other one becomes more ferocious.
The game can be saved at anytime on the world map by pressing START.
Funky can be summoned on the world map when needed. This only happens after Funky is visited first.
Smaller animals appear as background elements such as spiders and rats.
The game saves the number of extra lives the player has collected. This feature was criticized by many as it removed the challenge from the game.

I have to agree with Doug Henderson and his associates back then,
that with just a little more money put into the machine (and a slightly
higher price charged), the Piano Lodeon could have been a much better
instrument. The vane pneumatic action is actually a fine idea. My
candidates for big gain at low cost would include:
(1) Higher vacuum, using faster or two-stage blower. Couldn't be
any noisier than the actual blower!
(2) Get rid of the lost motion in the actuators -- with the decent
vacuum, no more need to swing at the key like a baseball bat!
(3) Buy the tone rod assemblies from Jaymar's supplier, getting
a *good* toy piano sound.
(4) Improve the action to get better repetition Again, the higher
vacuum should help. I can play trills on some toy pianos by hand,
so it must be feasible.
(5) Extend the tracker bar scale from 23 to 30 notes, covering the
whole 2.33-octave keyboard.
Then maybe J. Lawrence Cook wouldn't have been so coy about admitting
his roll role.
There are so many other instances of designs that could have been made
so much better with just a little more effort and expense.
And many thanks to Jack Conway for publishing the Rollography! And to
Doug for his fascinating inside story. Looking forward to June when
his museum. |

100 Women is a BBC series started in 2013. It looks at the role of women in the twenty-first century. It organised events in London and Mexico.
After the women are named, the BBC has three weeks of information about women. Women from all over the world make comments on Twitter about the interviews and debates.
History
After the 2012 Delhi gang rape case, BBC Controller Liliane Landor, BBC editor Fiona Crack, and other journalists started a series about the issues and successes of women. Women told the BBC there was not enough information about issues women face. In March 2013, BBC received a "flood of feedback from female listeners" that asked for more information "from and about women."
The BBC started the series in 2013 because there were not enough women represented in the media. The BBC used a survey in 26 languages to choose women for the first program. There were programs for one month, then there was a conference on 25 October. Women from different countries talked about issues they shared. There were many subjects, like work, feminism, motherhood, and religion. The series looked at cultural and social problems women have in life.
After the first program, there were many other subjects, like education, health, equal pay, genital mutilation, domestic violence, and sexual abuse. The series tries to give women a place to talk about how to make the world better and stop sexism. Women on the list are from many countries and many professions. Some of the women are famous, and some are not well known.
Names of the 100 women
2016
The 2016 theme was Defiance. Part of the 100 Women festival was in Mexico City. The 2016 list was in alphabetical order.
2015
The BBC News 100 Women list in 2015 was made up of many notable international names, as well as women who were unknown, but who represent issues women face. The women of 2015, included representatives from 51 countries and were not necessarily those who would traditionally have been seen as role models--a woman suffering from depression, a woman who advocates for equal access to bathroom facilities, a woman who encourages other women to avoid make-up, and a reindeer nomad.
2014
The BBC News 100 Women list in 2014 continued the efforts of the first year's initiative.
2013
The 2013 event was a month-long BBC series that took place in October. The series examined the role of women in the 21st century and culminated in an event held at BBC Broadcasting House in London, United Kingdom on 25 October 2013 involving a hundred women from around the world, all of whom came from different walks of life. The day featured debate and discussion on radio, television and online, in which the participants were asked to give their opinions about the issues facing women.
The event held on 25 October 2013 featured 100 women from all walks of life.

1832 marks the year in which Longines was created; a bygone era when the measurement of time was beginning to gain importance and watches were still produced at home. It was the beginning of one of Swiss watchmaking’s most beautiful stories. This key date is highlighted by The Longines 1832 collection, the worthy heir of the brand’s watchmaking expertise and aesthetic codes. Proud of its heritage, Longines is expanding this line with new models.
The Longines 1832 is now adorned with pure and elegant matte black dials. This new finish is available on the three-hand/date versions (30 and 40 mm in diameter), and enhances the models featuring an annual calendar (L897 calibre) or a moon phase display (L899 calibre).
These new timepieces, whose clear back reveals the ever-fascinating work of the movement within them, are mounted on black leather watch straps that blend perfectly with. |

The meal was an overall success. It was a bit of a surprise because I didn't think the girls would eat the enchilidas, and instead fill up on rice and beans. As you can see by the before and after pics from Leila's plate the enchilidas disappeared and the beans and rice remain untouched. Both of the girls had seconds on of both the enchilidas and the tomalito. And Robert, who had looked skeptically at the cooking tomalito, took a bite and said "Mmmm, this is good!" He was actually surprised. He he he. It is really good though. And for those of you wanting to make it at home, here's the recipe that I ended up using with what I had on hand. 10 minutes to put together, an hour to cook. Plan ahead, it's worth it!
1 box jiffy
6 tbsp butter, softened or melted
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c water
1 can creamed corn
2 tbsp half & half
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
Combine jiffy, butter, sugar and water in mixing bowl and mix with electric mixer until smooth. Add rest of ingrediants and mix until smooth. Pour into an 8 inch square baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Place dish over saucepan of boiling water and steam for 50 minutes to an hour. Scoop out in spoonfuls. |
The Inbe clan (Yin Bu Shi Inbe-shi) were a strong family in Japan a long time ago, during a time called the Kofun period (250-538 CE) and the Asuka period (538-710 CE). They came from an area called Kibi Province, which is now Okayama Prefecture. They were prominent in their links to religion.
They claimed descent from Futodama.
History
The clan started off as low class but gained power due to religious reasons. During the reign of Emperor Kotoku, the Inbe, along with the Nakatomi and Urabe families, were tasked with supervising the Department of Divinities.
During the Asuka period, the Inbe clan became more prominent and was involved in the political and military affairs of the Yamato court. In 587 CE, the Inbe clan was part of the allied forces that fought against the powerful Soga clan in the Battle of Shigisan. The battle resulted in the defeat of the Soga clan and the Inbe clan's rise in power.
During the 7th century, the Inbe clan had important roles in the Yamato court, including the position of O-omi, responsible for managing the court's affairs. In 645 CE, the clan supported Prince Naka no Oe, who later became Emperor Tenji, in a successful coup against his mother Empress Kogyoku.
During the Nara period (710-794 CE), the Inbe clan's influence declined, and they were gradually overtaken by the Nakatomi clan and their descendant clan the Fujiwara clan. In 807 their leader wrote the to complain to the Emperor over their exclusion.
They migrated to the east soon after and built the
Legacy
The Inbe clan was an influential group in Japan during the Kofun and Asuka periods. They were based in the Kibi Province, and were involved in politics and military affairs. Their legacy is still present in Japanese culture today, as they were responsible for building the Inbe Shrine, an important religious site. The Inbe clan's name can also be found in literary works such as the Man'yoshu. The Japanese government recognizes the Inbe clan as an important historical group, designating them as such in 1967.

News Volleyball 14/09/2018 Lebedew: "We have a great team, I can rely on all of my players" Bari, Italy, September 14, 2018 – Australia claimed their first victory at the FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship 2018 as they beat Cameroon 3-1 on Friday at PalaFlorio in Bari. Lincoln Williams helped the Volleyroos celebrate their first success in the tournament with a personal tally of 22 points. Mark Lebedew, head coach of Australia: “This is an important victory for us in order to advance to the second round. We caught a nervous start in the first set with Cameroon showing a good game, but we managed to come back and lead in the best way we could. We have a great team, very skilled and efficient in all aspects of the game. I can rely on all of my players. Yesterday we played a good match as we did today, regardless of the line-up on the court in this clash. We are very self-confident, and we are not afraid of any opponent. We are ready to face all the teams in the next matchups in this pool and hopefully in the next round as well.” Blaise Mayam Re Niof, head coach of Cameroon: “Australia is at a higher level than we are. During the match, we had some difficulties in setting and passing. Now we have to move on. I think that the United States and Australia are playing at the same level. During our rest day, we will prepare for the next match. We have to work step by step and one day we will be playing the same great volleyball as the one that United States play.” Print this Page News {{item.LocalShortDate}} {{item.Title}} All the News |

West Punjab was a former province of Pakistan which existed from 1947 to 1955. The province covered an area of ,including much of the current Punjab province and the Islamabad Capital Territory, but excluding the former princely states of Bahawalpur. The capital was the city of Lahore and the province had four divisions (Lahore, Sargodha, Multan and Rawalpindi). The province was bordered by the former Indian state of East Punjab to the east, the princely state of Bahawalpur to the south, the provinces of Balochistan and Sindh to the southwest, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to the northwest, and Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Occupied Kashmir to the northeast.
History
The independence of Pakistan in 1947 led to the divisions of the Punjab province into two new provinces. The East Punjab where most people were Sikh and Hindu became part of the new nation of India while the mainly Muslim West Punjab became part of the new nation of Pakistan. The name of the province was shortened to Punjab in 1950. West Punjab was merged into the province of West Pakistan in 1955 under the One Unit policy announced by Prime Minister Chaudhry Mohammad Ali. When that province was dissolved, the area of the former province of West Punjab was combined with the former state of Bahawalpur to form a new Punjab Province.
People
At independence there was a Muslim majority in West Punjab with significant minorities of Hindus and Sikhs. Nearly all of these minorities left West Punjab for India, to be replaced by large numbers of Muslims fleeing in the opposite direction. The official language of West Punjab was Urdu but most of the population spoke Punjabi using the Shahmukhi script.
Government
The offices of Governor of West Punjab and Chief Minister of West Punjab lasted from August 15 1947, until 14th October 1955. The first Governor was Sir Francis Mudie with Iftikhar Hussain Khan as the first Chief Minister. Both offices were abolished in 1955, when the province of West Pakistan was created. The last Governor of West Punjab, Mushtaq Ahmad Gurmani, became the first Governor of West Pakistan.

Cocktailians should really be paying attention to Blue Box Bar (312 Pearl Pkwy, (210) 227-2583). The bar, which recently turned two, has re-launched Wednesday night cocktail flights with ’tender Olaf Harmel.

Along with the occasional pig roast, Treviño is working on launching a line of “foodie fabrics,” a clothing line that includes aprons and tees. My personal fave was Treviño’s “Black Angus” take on Black Flag’s logo with meat cleavers instead of stripes.

Home Secretary Amber Rudd has rejected suggestions that a decline in the number of police officers had made the UK more vulnerable to terrorism.
Ms Rudd said it was “simply wrong” to blame the 20,000 fall in police numbers for the terrorist rampage at London Bridge and Borough Market.
Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry said that Labour’s plans for an extra 10,000 police would “not necessarily” have prevented the attacks but the increased number of officers would have created better links with the community.
The two politicians clashed in a BBC Radio 4 Woman’s Hour debate in which Ms Rudd insisted that the reforms put in place had protected frontline policing despite the cuts in numbers.

The Home Secretary said: “This angle that the Labour Party are very much going on, and to a certain extent the Liberal Democrats, that the reducing of the numbers of policemen on the beat is somehow accountable for this attack is simply wrong.”
She said HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary Sir Tom Winsor had concluded “the measure of police effectiveness is not in direct correlation to the numbers of police officers, except in public order situations”.
She added: “We do have to remember that the reductions that were made in 2010 to 2015 were - and I do admit ... there was a reduction in police numbers - also led to a reduction in crime.”
But Ms Thornberry said: “What we propose is 10,000 additional police officers to make up for some of the cuts.

“That would mean one police officer in each ward, in each local community. That by itself would not necessarily mean that we would have stopped these terrorist attacks.
“But I tell you what it would mean: It would mean that the police would be less stretched, they would be able to work with the community better.”
The pair also clashed over the UK’s links with Saudi Arabia, with the Home Secretary insisting “we have the toughest form of export licences in the world” for arms sales.
She said the UK had managed to reduce funding flows to extremist groups from Saudi Arabia and “we are always watchful to make sure their influence, where it is bad, is going to be limited”.
But Ms Thornberry criticised arms sales, saying: “People in Yemen are being starved as a result of the bombardment with our bombs.”
Also appearing on the show were LIberal Democrat Jo Swinson, the SNP’s Kirsty Blackman and Ukip’s Margot Parker.

Find Out When the Best Time is to Upgrade Your Company’s Technology
Businesses, COMPANYNAME.
- Hardware quality: If your workplace is always having to deal with run-down, faulty computer equipment, then you want to upgrade your technology before it can cause any further damage. In this particular case, it would be most beneficial to upgrade to the cloud due to the lower price of stripped-down thin clients. By connecting thin clients to the cloud, they can be just as effective as a fully loaded workstation. On a related note, it’s important to consider a machine’s peripherals, like upgrading to USB 3.1.
- Operating systems: Some organizations tend to cling to their favorite operating system long after its manufacturer pulls the plug on it. Two classic examples of this are Windows XP and Windows Server 2000. Without the necessary patches and security updates, outdated operating systems can quickly become both a liability and a risk. If you’re still using outdated software, then you’re in prime condition for a technology refresh. If you want to make updating your desktops as easy as possible, the cloud can be a great tool for remote monitoring and maintenance.
- Legacy applications: The latest version of an application can provide a significant benefit, but only if you make sure that you won’t break your infrastructure by making an upgrade. It’s important that you look into what is required of your legacy application before making a hardware change or a shift.”
The answer for how you should approach the cloud and tech upgrades is clear: call COMPANYNAME at PHONENUMBER. |
A Travelcard is a ticket used for most transport in London, including buses and the underground. The ticket is issued by Transport for London and National Rail and can be used on the services of either.
History
Before Travelcards were used, travellers in Greater London had to pay every time they changed between
London Transport's bus and Underground services. This was a problem as it led to delays while purchasing the next ticket.
One ticket for all transport in London was one of the key promises made in 1981 by the newly-elected Labour Greater London Council, headed by council leader Ken Livingstone. The policy, with the slogan "Just The Ticket", meant that only one ticket was needed for London Transport bus and Underground services. They also reduced the price of transport. The price cut was then ruled illegal, but the one pricing scheme was mostly a success and was extended during the 1980s and 1990s as new transport routes were opened in London.
By 1985, there were two travelcards: the Travelcard itself, which covered only London Buses and the Underground, and the Capitalcard, which covered most bus, Underground and local British Rail (BR) services. The Travelcard replaced the original Capitalcard, while including its greater availability, around 1989.
The original "zonal" system was mainly in Greater London. The zone areas used both letters and numbers for the outermost zones such that bus availability ignored the letter while BR and Underground availability depended also upon the letter(s) - e.g. a Travelcard or Capitalcard valid in zone 3a (but not 3b or 3c) was valid on buses in zones 3a, 3b and 3c but only in zone 3a when used on the railway services.
Transport modes
A Travelcard entitles the holder to use the following modes of transport within Greater London:
London Buses, including some services that terminate outside of Greater London
London Underground
London Overground
Docklands Light Railway
National Rail except for the Heathrow Express
Tramlink
Travelcards also entitle the holder to a 33% discount on some London River Services. |
Divorce & Second Marriages
There are all kinds of issues associated with getting married for the second or even the third time. We are going to focus on some of the legal and financial issues, touch on the emotional ones and stay away from the conflict that often occurs among former spouses and even the kids. These are important issues, however they are just not the focus of this blog.
More than 50 % of marriages will end up in divorce and so it has become pretty common for spouses to remarry a second or third time. The situation is complex enough between two people who are divorcing and then there is a 3rd person added to the mix. With children involved, the situation is much worse and much more complex.
We are not lawyers and we write these blogs from a common sense perspective with a lot of history and knowledge gained through life experiences. If you have legal concerns, want to get a divorce or separation , we strongly suggest that you contact a local lawyer to begin working out your issues and division of assets.
Divorce & Second Marriages – Dealing with Assets
Divorce is emotionally draining for both parties even under the best of circumstances. Some parties can act in a mature way, divide up the assets and move on in their lives without getting into fights or contests over the assets and of course the kids. Some will even remain friends afterwords, however they just cannot live together.
The Lawyers
This is an emotional time for everyone concerned. You and your spouse, the kids, your parents and the girlfriend or boyfriend if there happens to be one. Some people will be hurt, others angry, and some will be so mad. They want to take out all of their vengeance on their soon to be ex spouse, taking them for everything they can.
Lawyers are their to help you make sure everything is completed in a legal manner, however some are aggressive and antagonistic and really just feed on the process. Their objective is to make as much money as possible and if you are at war with your ex-spouse, you are just playing into their wallets.
Difficult to Put into Practice
While it is easy to write this, it is much more difficult to follow this advice. The best approach by far is to come to an amicable agreement between you and your spouse. Document it and then take it to the lawyers to make it legal so that it will stand up in court! Unfortunately, many people in the heat of emotionl and anger want to punish their spouse. Some are just plain cheap and do not want to provide support for the kids. These are very hard people, who do not trust their ex-spouse and do not want to support their spouse.
Take a breath, negotiate fairly and work things out. Every hour the lawyer spends on your case, he or she is charging for at somewhere between $100 to $200 per hour or even more. If you both have lawyers, the cost can be incredible if the negotiations go on for an extended period of time. I have a friend who went through this. He wanted to everything in a fair way and would not take his lawyer to the negotiations. His lawyer was upset, because it meant that he could not bill for the time spent negotiating the agreements!
Divorce
Make it legal, make sure it gets filed so that you are protected. It should be clear to all concerned what the agreement is for your divorce in terms of support and access to the kids. Also the splitting of assets is important so use your lawyer to make sure everything is properly documented. Avoid being greedy or being vengeful. This will just cost you more money in terms of legal fees. It will end up costing your more money than what you might have saved.
Separation While Continuing to Live together in the Same Home
We know of several couples who are living in this situation. The wife is living upstairs with the kids. While the father is in the basement were the kids come to visit. In some ways there is a practical advantage to doing it this way. The cost is kept under control since you are still only paying for one home, one set of utilities etc. However how tough can this be on the emotions of everyone?
This is really not my idea of a good time. Get through the legal separation as fast as possible with a fair and equitable arrangement. So that you do not have to endure this close living situation while going through the process of separation.
Remain Civil
While you are in this situation, remain civil, avoid confrontation and document everything. What ever occurs in the home could and will be used against you in court or family law court. If you are trying to arrange a fair and equitable split, yet you are fighting all of the time, one of you might claim mental abuse or worse. This is just not a positive climate. If the marriage cannot be repaired, move on as quickly as possible. Avoid the situation from going from bad to worse.
These are just some of the common sense things to consider in a separation or divorce situation. Easy to say, very difficult to do and follow-up on in real life. At least from reading this post you will have some idea of what you can do to make it better. Also to make the transition easier. If you have comments on this post or your own ideas about this difficult situation, feel free to leave a comment. Spam comments will be erased.

Hayao Miyazaki's nature park for children set to open in 2017
Japanese icon Hayao Miyazaki may be done making movies, but the world-famous animator has a new passion project that's already in development. With 300 million yen (2.5 million dollars) of his own money, Miyazaki is opening a 10,000-acre nature park for children, a place where kids can go play, read and sleep to their heart's content.
This project, masterminded by Miyazaki himself, who is also widely known as a conservationist, is called "The Forest Where the Wind Returns." The park, which will be on the island of Kume in Okinawa, will not have any man-made equipment or attractions. Instead, kids who come here will be running and jumping around the landscape, which will be arranged and designed to work as a giant natural playground. As if that wasn't fun enough, the park will house a library and a sleeping quarters, where up to 30 kids can spend the night. Local kids and kids from Fukushima will be the first ones invited to stay over.
With technology literally changing the way children grow up and develop, a park like this is a much-needed sanctuary of sorts, a place where kids can breathe clean air and run free amongst the trees, away from the phone and computer screens that dominate their world. Hayao Miyazaki's 300 million yen donation to the Okinawan island of Kume is a gift from him to the children of Japan.
"The Forest Where the Wind Returns" is expected to open in 2017.

Escaping real life by scrolling through social media has become a common way to spend time during our lunch break, while waiting for friends to arrive at the bar, of if we need to escape after a hectic day at work. Instagram has the ability to transport us to another part of the world and tap into what other travelers are doing and provide the ultimate FOMO. And according to a recent article in the The Independent, millennials are booking trips to specific destinations based solely on inspirational photos posted on Instagram. So, we did our own unscientific survey among Instagrammers and found 10 hot destinations that will inspire millennial travelers to pack their bags and visit hot destinations, such as Machu Picchu in Peru and Figure 8 Pools in Australia.
Datu Swing at Hotel Ombak Sunset (Gili Trawangan, Bali)
It’s been a while since we’ve hit the swings on a playground, but who wouldn’t want to travel to Bali to hop on this swing as you gaze at the sunset while the warm waters of the Bali Sea lap at your toes? We’re adding this to our travel bucket list for sure!
Blue Lagoon (Grindavík, Iceland)
Take a relaxing plunge into Iceland’s geothermal spa. We’re inspired by this beautiful shot and all the fun things that come along with a spa getaway at Blue Lagoon, including the in-water massages and a bar that provides silica mud masks. We’re so there!
Machu Picchu (Cusco, Peru)
We love when travelers set goals and attain them. Like the arduous hike along the Inca Trail to reach the final destination, Machu Picchu. You’ve gotta capture your big moment at the top, right?! It’s a marvelous site to behold and we totally understand why this popular ancient Incan site attracts thousands of travelers to visit every year.
Cliffs of Moher (County Clare, Ireland)
You can’t make a trip to Ireland without exploring its lush countryside, which includes the Cliffs of Moher. And when you have fun guides like these two, the recommended two-hour visit might need to turn into an extended stay to explore the towns and villages in the area, like Doolin and Liscannor. A trip to the Emerald Isle just wouldn’t be complete without a stop here.
Koh Phi Phi Viewpoint (Phi Phi Island, Thailand)
At Vacation, we not only get travel inspiration from what you’re doing, but our co-workers also inspire us, especially when they visit places like the beautiful Phi Phi Island. You can’t beat the breathtaking pics from Phi Phi Viewpoint like this one. We often dream about a vacay in Thailand, and this island and Instagram post has us hooked!
Santorini (Greece)
Have you ever seen a bad photo of Santorini? We don’t think one exists. And millennials are proving it with postcard-perfect photos like this one, showing off the island’s iconic cityscape of white architecture with blue-capped roofs. Sharing photos of this island makes us want to plan a trip to the Mediterranean… mission accomplished!
Gondola Ride (Venice, Italy)
A photo of a young solo traveler, couple or group experiencing the excitement of a gondola ride in Venice, Italy, makes us want to plan a trip now! And it appears to be a popular bucket list destination when we perused a few travel-inspired Instagram accounts. It’s the quintessential Venetian experience that should be shared with your significant other during a romantic vacay or on your honeymoon.
12 Apostles (Victoria, Australia)
You can’t beat the awe-inspiring view of the world-famous collection of limestone stacks off the shore of the Port Campbell National Park. Don’t be surprised if you see a few rubberneckers trying to get a view while they drive along scenic Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia.
Brighton Beach Huts (Victoria, Australia)
If you’re planning a trip to Melbourne, you cannot miss out on a drive south to Brighton Beach for the sand and surf. And regardless of the season, a photo op with at least one of the 82 colorful bathing boxes, as your backdrop, is a must! With their classic Victorian architecture intact, these distinct decorated wooden structures have made the Brighton seaside immediately recognizable.
Figure 8 Pools (Royals National Park, Australia)
Our final inspirational Instagram shot provides reason enough to contact one of our expert travel agents to plan a trip Down Under. This is the third Instagram pic in this article from Australia that several millennials seem to love. For the best photo op in one of these natural pools, we recommend visiting at low tide during the week to avoid the crowds.
Inspired by this article and want to speak with an expert travel agent about how you can plan an unforgettable vacay, destination wedding or honeymoon? Let one of Vacation’s on-call travel experts match you with an expert travel agent to customize an itinerary you’re gonna love. |

COLUMBUS—Libertarian Travis Irvine received the first major endorsement of his campaign for Ohio governor Tuesday from Charlie Earl, the party’s 2014 candidate for the same office.
Earl, an ex-Republican who represented the 80th district in the Ohio House from 1981 to 1984, released the following statement Tuesday:
CONCERNING THE ENDORSEMENT OF TRAVIS IRVINE FOR GOVERNOR
“With the ever-increasing growth and interference of the federal government affecting our daily lives, it is vital that the citizens of Ohio elect a governor and lieutenant governor who are dedicated to individual liberty. Gubernatorial candidate Travis Irvine and Todd Grayson, his running mate, are prime examples of the type of public servants Ohioans require. Our historic reliance on the two-party system has led to the betrayal of our people and the undermining of our democratic republic. Travis and Todd represent a new beginning for Ohio. Fresh ideas and liberty-driven energy are the cornerstones of their efforts to return our state government to its rightful place as a responsive servant of the people rather than a master of our fates.
“Therefore, I enthusiastically and unequivocally endorse Travis Irvine for governor of Ohio and Todd Grayson for lieutenant governor of our state. Their commitments to liberty and their lack of relationships with the Ohio version of the “Swamp” makes them the most qualified for leading us forward. Please vote for Ohio. Please vote for liberty. Please vote to end the two-party strangulation of our potential. I urge you to vote for Irvine/Grayson on November 6th.”
“I’m extremely grateful to receive the support of a great man and great candidate like Charlie Earl, and I plan to pick up where he was forced to leave off in standing up for Ohio against the two corrupt parties that control Columbus,” said Irvine in response to Earl’s endorsement.
Earl’s 2014 run for governor, which would have easily won enough votes to retain ballot access for the Libertarian Party, was derailed when Secretary of State John Husted first certified Earl’s candidacy, then removed Earl’s name from the ballot after Republican party officials orchestrated a technical challenge to Earl’s petition. Though the rule in question was ambiguous had never been enforced for Republican or Democrat petitions, Husted’s ruling was upheld, forcing the Libertarian Party of Ohio to regain ballot access by spending more than $250,000 on getting more 100,00 signatures from Ohio voters.

Land vertebrates have feet. The organization of their feet varies. Two factors come into play: weight and lifestyle.
1. Plantigrade: heavy animals usually put their heels down to support their weight.
2. Unguligrade: large animals with hooves.
3. Digitigrade is usually reserved for lighter animals. It means to walk on the toes.
Weight
Most heavy animals walk on four legs. There are some exceptions. Some really heavy birds move or moved on two legs. Moas are one example. It is quite clear that an ostrich is a very effective bird running on two legs.
Birds generally are an example of the change from four legs (originally as dinosaurs) to two legs. Humans the end product of changes that started in arboreal apes.
The study of such things is called "comparative foot morphology". |
