The Mennello Museum of American Art Announces Its Spring Exhibition — The Grand Portraits of Mr. Eddy Mumma — on View April 23 – August 1, 2021 The Mennello Museum of American Art is proud to announce the exhibition opening of The Grand Portraits of Mr. Eddy Mumma. The exhibit is only the third solo museum exhibition of the artist's work to date and is on view from April 23 – August 1, 2021. "The museum is excited to bring together 25 compelling paintings by one of Florida's self-taught and truly outsider artists," shared Mennello Museum Executive Director Shannon Fitzgerald. "The portraits reflect the people and personalities with whom he desired to surround himself. He was prolific in production and with a compulsion to immerse himself in his self-isolation suggests that his creative quest was deeply personal, cathartic, and absolutely necessary." The Grand Portraits of Mr. Eddy Mumma explores the self-taught artist's lavish portraits from the Mennello Museum of American Art's collection and other prominent Florida collections – including Josh Feldstein, The Gadsden Arts Center & Museum, and Dr. Lou Hill. Mumma abandoned any notion of traditional art schooling after a teacher's insult during his first lesson at the age of 60 in Gainesville, Florida. A homebound Mumma would take this slight in stride. Instead of giving up, he poured over art books, texts, and popular magazines given to him by friends and family. These beloved images intermingled with his imagination to develop the round-faced, wide-awake, geometric figures he is renowned for today. A proliferation of portraits originally hung from every inch of the artist's modest home, immersing the artist in a gallery of his self-inspired works. These mysterious, smiling, and sometimes frenzied characters were his constant companions, always within sight, rarely shown, and never sold. Feldstein's eye for the cleverness and ingenuity of Mumma's painting practice was instrumental in preserving the artist's many works. At the time of Mumma's passing in 1986, he had completed nearly 1,000 paintings – excitedly using the brightest paints on any surface within reach, painting both sides of doors, lamps, plywood, masonite, canvas, and glass. It was the foresight and graciousness of Feldstein to assist the artist's daughter, Carroll Gunsaulies, in preserving and sharing her father's work with the world that entered him into the celebrated canon of American Folk Art. Mumma is also featured in the Smithsonian American Art Museum collections, the American Folk Art Museum, Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Fenimore Museum, the Kohler Foundation, and the American Visionary Art Museum among others. Serendipitously, an insult by a Gainesville art instructor and 18 years creating art in Gainesville ultimately led to Gainesville, Florida's Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art highlighting Mumma's collection. "I am delighted to share The Grand Portraits of Mr. Eddy Mumma with our audiences this summer," said Mennello Museum Curator of Art and Education Katherine Page. "While studying Mumma's portraiture and paintings, one begins to understand his deep appreciation for historical painting and ethnographic photography. Renowned images inspired his work, from Van Gogh to Frans Hals and the pages of National Geographic. This admiration translated into recreating masterpieces in his own distinctive style, which was dedicated to the expression of form, color, and texture therein. "She continues, "The figures in Mumma's later portraits carry unique and intimate yet recognizable emotions: some appear cheerful, focused, proud, sad, nervous, and even alienated. The effect is striking and pulls the viewer closer into the piece— face-to-face with the artist's intuitive practice."

We produce enough food to feed 10 billion people. So why does hunger still exist? This is the second article of seventeen exploring the challenges of each of the United Nation's Seventeen Sustainable Development Goals. Today, 795 million people are hungry. Another 2 billion are expected to join them by 2050. However, global food production is incredibly efficient. The world's farmers produce enough food to feed 1.5x the global population. That's enough to feed 10 billion (we are at 7.6 billion currently). Despite this excess, hunger still exists. Our inability to feed the entirety of the world's population is mostly due to food waste. Globally, 30–40% of all food is wasted. In less developed countries, this waste is due to lack of infrastructure and knowledge to keep food fresh. For example, India loses 30–40% of its produce because retail and wholesalers lack cold storage. In more developed countries, the lower relative cost of food reduces the incentive to waste. And as portion size grows, more and more food gets thrown out and wasted. Our food distribution system is inefficient. But this inefficiency won't drive 2 billion more people into hunger by 2050. Climate change will reshape the world's agricultural landscape. Colder climates will become more favorable to agriculture, but many current agriculture powerhouses will see significant declines in yield. The US's Midwest region will see at least a 20% decline in corn production. Brazil will see a 16% drop in corn production. To safeguard against these changes, farmers will need to both modernize agricultural methods and diversify their fields. In terms of outcomes, modernizing methods falls into the same bucket as updating food infrastructure. Both require investment and knowledge to improve yield and food availability. But diversifying fields? That incorporates more crops and methods into agricultural processes. And, ultimately, it can reinvent agriculture itself. Diversifying our crops is paramount to our health. According to the UN, 75% of crop biodiversity has disappeared since the 1900s. Agricultural biodiversity contributes to more nutritious diets and builds more resilient and sustainable farming systems. However, another necessary component to building resilient and sustainable farming systems is to reduce risk. Climate change-induced impacts will rock many agricultural hubs. To minimize these impacts on food availability, we need to decentralize its production. And urban agriculture is a great place to start. Urban agriculture incorporates producing healthy food into an environment long detached from its food production. Let's use City Fruit, a nonprofit in Seattle, as an example. Seattle has an abundance of fruit trees throughout its neighborhoods and parks. Every year, much of this fruit falls, rots, and wastes. City Fruit saw a need and began diverting this fruit to communities lacking healthy food access. In just a few years, City Fruit began harvesting over 55,000 pounds of fruit. This amount of fruit not just feeds thousands, but nourishes them as well. It makes use of local resources, and as a result, improves community resiliency. To end hunger, we need to replicate these types of stories across the globe. We need to identify communities' abundant local resources, strengthen them, and utilize them to improve food access to those who need it most. Yes, it will be challenging. And yes, it will require innovation. But I'm excited to see what the world creates. People, policy, and the future. Just a millennial trying to make sense of where we are headed.

Saga of the forgotten warrior house of assassins Saga of the forgotten warrior house of assassins. Saga of the Forgotten Warrior Books by Larry Correia from Simon & Schuster 2019-04-23 Tuesday, April 23, 2019 5:35:20 PM Kenneth House of Assassins (Forgotten Warrior Saga, book 2) by Larry Correia The sagas that extend through multiple volumes and build characters, lands, and new kinds of evildoers. Ashok Vadal and the Sons of the Black Sword march to rescue Thera. Ashok Vidal was once a member of the highest caste in all of Lok. But apparently Correia is trying to err on the other side of the Martins and Jordans of the world and their bloated series. Scheming politics abound with a good helping of warrior battles and personal heroics, making this episode a real treat with characters that grow on you. . The Testimony of the Traitor Ratul. A new free short story in the Saga of the Forgotten Warrior He delivers a great performance bringing all the characters to life with his refined British accent and a huge array of different voices and tones. He holds her prisoner in the House of Assassins. Same narrator, and he's excellent. He will never do something that goes against the letter of the law! It might rise to 4 out of 5 once I read books two and three. A reluctant prophet with the power to see into the future, she fought alongside Ashok Vadal and his company of men known as the Sons of the Black Sword until a shapeshifting wizard with designs on her powers of precognition spirited her away. When Dead Six compromises his objective, Lorenzo has a new job: Find and kill Valentine. Nothing special in this one. House of Assassins (Saga of the Forgotten Warrior) By Larry Correia (Hardcover) 9781481483766 I may have to circle back both to this book and this review at some point and add additional thoughts. Lots of journeying and talking, interspersed with really interesting fight scenes and odd uses of magic. But then his father is executed for treason, and he and his best friend, Cade, are thrown into a prison mine, doomed to work until they drop. His brutality was legendary and celebrated. So I picked up a book of what if scenarios in the remaindered section for my credit card purchase and a few weeks later the gift card arrived. Correia lives in Utah with his wife and family. There isn't as much intrigue and plotting in the second book but there is a bit more character development, to the point that Keta is also now an indestructible super powerful being with convenient magic powers. Download [PDF] House Of Assassins Saga Of The Forgotten Warrior Free Online Both my wife and I regard Larry Correia as one of our favourite authors. Desperate to find a way to break the stalemate, the answer lies in the half-forgotten words of an ancient song. He himself, senior member of the Protector Order, was casteless. Another installment of an amazing, addictive and creative series. Makes my days so much more interesting. I said it before and I'll say it again, Larry Correia is an amazing author and always manages to deliver great entertainment for his fans. In a series of flashback chapters, the story is revealed how he is chosen by the sword at age five. House of Assassins by Larry Correia Great audible narration by Tim Gerard Reynolds. Brisk fight scenes, lively characters, and plenty of black humor continue to make this series a real pleasure. Very unique, and evolving character. I like the way that Ashok is finally understanding barely that the Law is not all it's cracked up to be and that free will seems to have a place in the world. That is most of them for the past 26 or so years. It's a tasty cheeseburger of a fantasy book. But there is much more at risk in the continent of Lok. House of Assassins (Audiobook) by Larry Correia There's political intrigue, lots of swordfighting, both magic and science, even religion based on old gods. None was more merciless than he in stamping out the lingering belief in gods and demons among the casteless. Rescued by a man who hates him yet is oath-bound to protect him, pursued by inhuman forces, Aren slowly accepts that everything he knew about his world was a lie. With his sword Angruvadal, Ashok was unstoppable. After the chaos of the Wizard Wars a thousand years ago, the people turned their backs on magic. Ashok Vadal and the Sons of the Black Sword march to rescue Thera. None was more merciless than he in stamping out the lingering belief in gods and demons among the casteless. Some are great with plot. He holds her prisoner in the House of Assassins. Thera had been first daughter of Vane. I have a new free short story available now on the Baen website. Correia also weaves in elements that question the value of belief and the cost of giving authority to those who find more profit in preying on the weak. House of Assassins The ocean is hell in this world. A reluctant prophet with the power to see into the future, she fought alongside Ashok Vadal and his company of men known as the Sons of the Black Sword until a shapeshifting wizard with designs on her powers of precognition spirited her away. Strange forces are working behind the scenes. Usually, I am in a hurry to finish a book for one reason or another and I am looking at page numbers or time remaining if it's a Audible version until the end. A powerful epic fantasy evolves into a solid, compelling read. Their mission is to take the fight to the enemy and not get caught. The plotting is excellent, and Correia makes you care about the characters. House of Assassins (Saga of the Forgotten Warrior Book 2) eBook: Larry Correia: www.serverside-developer.com: Kindle Store But the holy book of the nethermancers has just been found by a boy named Dante. For additional information, see the Global Shipping Program Brand New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. He's never questioned it; that's just the way things are. Mankind was nearly eradicated by the seemingly unstoppable beasts until the gods sent the great hero, Ramrowan, to save them. He holds her prisoner in the House of Assassins. Some of them are evil, and some are just hungry. Her task: hold down the fort and take care of her new baby son Ray. House of Assassins picks up right where the previous book left off and we see a changed Ashok Vadal, stripped of his rank, of his powers, but fighting to help his very few friends as The Protectors and other enemies hunt him down. Thera had been first daughter of Vane. Ashok Vadal was once a member of the highest caste in all of Lok. Ashok Vadal and the Sons of the Black Sword are caught up in a game they do not fully understand, with powerful forces allied against them.

Kelly's Directory of 1923 records Kempley as a parish on the confines of Herefordshire, near the high road from Gloucester and Newent through Dymock to Much Marcle, in Herefordshire, 2 miles west from Dymock station on the Gloucester, Ledbury and Worcester branch of the Great Western railway, 6 south-south-west from Ledbury, 4½ north-north-west from Newent and 12½ west-north-west from Gloucester, in the Forest of Dean division of the county, hundred of Botloe, union, petty sessional division and county court district of Newent, rural deanery of North Forest and archdeaconry and diocese of Gloucester. The church of Edward the Confessor - "built in 1902-3, at the cost of Earl Beauchamp, who also furnished the design, is of local stone, and consists of nave with north chapel, porch, vestry and a tower containing 2 bells". All the timber used in the construction is of oak grown within the parish. There is a rood beam, carved and painted with figures, and three carvings in stone, two on the exterior of the church and one in the porch. There are 160 sittings. The parish records, which belonged to the original church of St Mary, begin in 1637. In 1923, the living had been held since 1921 by the Rev. Daniel Gethyn-Jones. Kelly also mentions the property named "Stonehouse" - "a mansion of the 16th century, and formerly the manor house, [which] was rebuilt in 1883, when nearly all the fine oak carving, exhibiting the crown and initials of James I. was removed by the 6th Earl Beauchamp, to Madresfield Court, Worcestershire; the only portion of the old house now remaining is the kitchen ceiling".

Turlock High QB standout signs with SMSU Former Turlock High and MJC quarterback Danny Velasquez received a full-ride scholarship to play football at Southwest Minnesota State University (Journal file photo). Former Turlock High School quarterback Danny Velasquez will continue his college football career at Southwest Minnesota State University on a full-ride scholarship after inking his letter of intent to play for the Mustangs. The move to join SMSU takes Velasquez off the roster at Fresno State and is the latest development in a college career that has seen him shuffle to and from several teams since graduating high school in 2016. "The biggest thing that caught my attention is they run a simple offense similar to MJC's," Velasquez said. "I'm really excited to get to work on that offense." After earning back-to-back Central California Conference MVP awards and helping Turlock High win its first league title in nine years, Velasquez suited up for Modesto Junior College as a true freshman in 2017 and recorded a combined 2,770 yards and 29 touchdowns en route to a Gridiron Bowl win. His success on the field prompted interest from Division I programs and Velasquez accepted a full-ride offer to play at Portland State University. He appeared in only two games before his sophomore season was cut short due to injury, prompting a return to MJC in 2019. The Turlock High alum racked up a combined 3,493 yards and 34 touchdowns during his second stint as a Pirate and was prominently featured in an episode of the Netflix original series "Last Chance U" in which he recorded a combined 279 yards and four touchdowns in a 33-20 win over Laney College. The televised performance garnered the attention of the Fresno Bulldogs, which offered the Turlocker a spot on their roster and a chance to fight for the quarterback position. Velasquez was set to once again chase his dream of playing D1 football before the COVID-19 pandemic put an end to athletic activities in the spring. With no sign of athletics resuming in California and with another full-ride offer on the table, Velasquez felt SMSU's offer was too good to pass up despite its DII status. "It was kind of a tough decision for me," Velasquez said. "I left Fresno because of the whole COVID thing. I just felt like my opportunity was gone and I got a lot of interest from other schools after that 'Last Chance U' episode came out." "I think, for me, growing up it was always a D1 or bust mentality. I think it got me to a point where I was competing at a high level, but I think I also missed out on a lot of good opportunities over the years," he added. Velasquez will share the locker room with two other local talents in John Romero of Johansen High School and former MJC teammate Kendrick Bond of Patterson High School as he attempts to lead the Mustangs to their first winning season since 2015. "All three of us are excited about the whole thing. We're trying to get some more people from around here to go, but we'll see," Velasquez said. In addition to football, Velasquez will also continue to pursue a degree in Communication Studies. "The biggest thing is just getting my degree. I never thought I was going to make it this far anyway, I always thought I'd end up on a farm," Velasquez said with a laugh. "The coaches have been saying they want us there for early January but we're waiting to see what the governor has to say with this whole lockdown. I'm ready to get out of here and go play."

Since the Let the Magic Begin show started, guests can enter Magic Kingdom theme park one hour prior to park opening to enjoy the shops on Main Street, U.S.A. before the show. With your 8:00 a.m. breakfast reservation, you will be able to enter the park prior to 8:00 a.m. On our last visit, they let us in about 7:45 a.m. to get to our 8:00 a.m. breakfast reservation. From Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, you should be able to take the Resort Monorail to Magic Kingdom to get to your breakfast reservation. On our last visit in July, we stayed at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort and the Resort Monorail started service at 7:00 a.m. Just double-check the monorail hours when you arrive. Also remember that the monorail to Epcot may have different hours or the monorail may be out of service temporarily. If you have not done so, download the My Disney Experience Mobile App. The app has a terrific "Get Directions" feature that will let you see possible transit routes and estimated times between locations. We absolutely live by the app. Cindy, I trust your little ones will love marching in the Pooh-rade at The Crystal Palace!

Positive Arithmetic of the Welfare State Conde-Ruiz, José Ignacio Galasso, Vincenzo J. Ignacio Conde-Ruiz Vincenzo Galasso Why does the largest US welfare programme select its recipients by their age, rather than by their earnings or wealth? In a dynamic efficient overlapping generation economy with earnings heterogeneity, we analyze a welfare system composed of a within-cohort redistribution scheme and an unfunded social security system. The programme's size is determined in a bidimensional majoritarian election. For enough income inequality and elderly in the population, both welfare programs are supported as a structure-induced political equilibrium of a voting game played by successive generation of voters. Social security is sustained by a voting coalition of retirees and low-income young, intragenerational redistribution by low-income young. Two features are crucial: the retirees' political power, deriving from their homogeneous voting, and the intragenerational redistribution component of the social security. Therefore, to assess how changes in inequality affect the welfare state, the income distribution should be decomposed by age groups. Conde-Ruiz, José Ignacio & Galasso, Vincenzo, 1999.

The Mecca of All Hot Springs: We Finally Make It! Entering Saline Valley Rd with the baja. Notice the Road Closed sign. The third time is the charm, as they say. And it definitely was the charm for us, as we can finally say that we've made it into Saline Valley after three attempts! We must have had an unknown good luck charm riding with us that day, because we actually almost didn't make it. But I'm getting ahead of myself telling the story here, so let me back up. Saline Valley is now a part of Death Valley National Park and is known for being one of the last unspoiled large Death Valley-like valleys left. Its also known for its natural hot springs, which have been taken care of by volunteers and squatters for many many years. Somebody planted huge palm trees at the springs, so they resemble the classic picture of an oasis in the middle of a dry and parched desert. Birds sing, wild burros roam, and a lush grassy lawn under the shade of tall and full palms invite the curious soakers who make it there. Stories of beautiful tiled hot tubs (complete with a hot shower in one area) in the middle of a rarely visited and hard-to-get-to pristine desert valley drew us in. Since I heard of this fabled place over one year ago, we had to go. I mean, WE HAD TO GO. There was no if, there was only when. Only determined souls go there, we heard, and we had plenty of will, so we knew there would be a way. Saline valley Rd as it descends into Saline Valley once over Hunter Mt area. But what you equally hear about, in addition to the hot springs, are the roads which go into the valley. There are four roads, actually, and you can take your pick. First, the most popular is the south pass of Saline Valley Rd, and then there is also the north pass. Finally there is Steel Pass, and Lippencott Rd. (both of which are worse than the first two). We heard that all were extremely bad and in horrible condition. The park service keeps a 'Road Closed' sign at the intersections of Saline Valley Rd with the paved major highway to keep people out. It is not actually closed for most of the year, but the sign is meant to scare people, or at least make then think twice before continuing. The only time the roads actually close is when they are impassible by snow or if a section gets washed out. Even then, you can still attempt to drive on through. Well anyways, we took all of the rumors seriously, so we decided to take the baja because it had a lot of clearance and take some extra gas too. Ice breaks up into tiny chards as we drove through one of a few cold springs which pooled in the road (yes its that cold). It took us all day driving just to get to Panamint Springs, the closest place that has gas to the intersection where Saline Valley Rd and Hwy 190 (which goes through the national park) meet. Since it was dark when we got there, we decided to gas up, buy some post cards, and get a camping spot for the night. Could you believe that it only cost $7.50/night to camp!? That's so cheap! I guess it was the off-season price. We had no fire or anything to keep us warm, so after we set up our tent (and after our mom realized that scorpions and snakes weren't going to eat her alive) we sat inside the baja to keep warm while we had dinner and drinks. Then we went to sleep. Finally in Saline Valley. I was woken up by the sun the next morning. But it was still very early because it was really cold outside! That didn't matter though because we were really excited to get going on our way down to Saline Valley. We quickly packed up the tents and stuff, and started driving back to the intersection a few miles away. When we got there, we saw the traditional Road Closed sign along with a sign that read 'High Clearance Vehicles Recommended.' Okay, we were prepared for that. What we weren't prepared for was the great condition of the road, exactly opposite of what we thought. We were expecting crazy ruts and large boulders in the road, or washed out sections. We got none of that. It was flat and wide for most of it, except when it dipped into a dry wash near Hunter Mountain. That part was slightly rutted up and rocky, but not bad. We kept commenting how we've been on worse roads in the national park, and they don't have any Road Closed signs. We started to think they must be putting the signs up to keep people at the springs to a minimum. Well, it took us a bit over an hour of driving until we were deep in the middle of the valley, approaching the salt lake playa and dunes area. Romy had to go pee after all the washboards, so we pulled over. It would have been a routine potty break except that when Romy walked around the back to check the oil and if random parts didn't fall off, we got the shock of our life! A HUGE puddle of oil was under the baja, with a steady trail that lead about 30 ft back on the road and then stopped. The engine was still dripping steadily. Actually, it wasn't dripping, it was pouring! I would estimate we lost almost one quart right there. I feel bad about the spill. Getting towed in by a Jeep! Romy decided, after peeking around under the engine, that the rear main seal must have went bad, and that was the source of the oil leak. The good news was that we had two quarts of oil with us, but the bad news was that we didn't have any way to fix the seal, because we didn't have one to replace it. And we were over 50 miles from the nearest paved road, which was still at least 10 or so miles from the nearest town. We weren't sure if we could drive the baja that far without loosing all of the oil in the engine, drip by drip! We only saw one other car since we got into Saline Valley, so we figured our chances of being towed were slim. We started flagging down every car that passed by at that point. About 10 minutes into our wait, the first car came by. We asked them if they had any oil to spare. They didn't. And they said they couldn't tow us. But they gave us some good news. They said that there were hundreds of people (!) at the hot springs and that we were very close to the turn off that went to the springs. If we could get to the turn off, then there would be tons of people driving in or out. So we decided to try and push the baja to the turn off. Palm Hot Spring (the slightly cooler pool). We got some good momentum going, but then the road started going uphill. We couldn't keep pushing it, so we decided to get it far off to the side of the road and keep waiting for more people to pass by. As if on cue, we hear the roar of another car coming down the road. This time it was a Jeep, and it was flying down the road so fast, we didn't think it would stop in time! But the Jeep stopped, and we explained our situation. It was a nice couple and they were headed for the springs. They said that they could tow us into the springs where there was a satellite phone for emergencies, and lots of people who might or might not have spare parts and extra oil. Then the couple offered to tow us back out of Saline Valley on Sunday if we couldn't get it going again before that (it was Thursday, Thanksgiving day). We had nothing to lose at that point. We wanted to go to the springs, we were offered a tow in and out, we had enough food and water for ourselves for the next 4 days - what more could we ask for?! So there we were, hooking up our tow strap to the back of the small trailer that they were pulling behind their Jeep. We got pulled the last five or so miles from Saline Valley Rd, to the turn off, and then down the sandy and bumpy road to the springs. The whole time, I was kind of thinking if what we were doing was really very sensible. The most reasonable thing to have done, probably, was wait for somebody who was willing to tow us out of there so we could fix the baja. It would of been a bummer. But instead we were getting towed deeper into the middle of nowhere, Saline Valley. But what the heck!? We were thwarted by these springs twice before, and the third time's the charm, damn it! We were going to have our charm even if we had to limp our way in (with the help of a Jeeper of all things)! Soon we could see the silhouette of large palm trees in the distance, and all of the worries were pushed aside with excitement of finally getting to the fabled hot springs of Saline Valley! The hot pool at Palm Hot Spring. What came next was a bit of a shock (this trip was turning out to have a lot of shocks sprinkled here and there). Now, we knew it was Thanksgiving and all, and we also knew that a lot of people go to Saline Valley to have a communal dinner, but the sheer number of people that started coming into view as we got closer, we were not prepared for! Car after car, trucks, tents, and even a yurt! Vans with solar panels, and crazy hippies and naked people abound! I swear it was straight out of Easy Rider, a hippie commune in the desert. When I thought of a large gathering here for Thanksgiving, I was thinking 50 people max. We saw hundreds! Later that weekend, we heard the headcount for dinner was over 200, which meant that there was at least twice as many people camping because not all went to the communal dinner that night. Upper Warm Spring, which is fenced to keep the wild burros out. So here we were for at least the next four days, and I was starting to laugh about what my mom thought of all this. She was shocked too, because she kept making comments about the weirdos and all the naked people. We got out of the baja and thanked the Jeepers for pulling us in. Now we had to find a camp spot. They towed us into one of the last open areas, on top of an old travertine expanse. At that point we unhooked from each other, and started setting up camp. The guy (named Rick) who pulled us in left us with a final comment. He said, "You do know this place is clothing optional, right?" And we said, "Of course." Thats how hot springs usually are. We thought he was referring to the springs, so gave no other thought to the odd, seemingly random comment. And then we looked around. Our nearest camping neighbors were both buck naked, apparently cooking dinner for the communal dinner which they were planning on going naked to. It was almost comedic, because it was only about 60 degrees out. And then my my mom pointed in the direction of the Jeepers who towed us in. "Honey, he's naked!" She laughed. OMG the Jeeper was getting naked too! Saline Valley dunes stretch for a couple miles on the west side of the valley. Apparently, we had not heard of the nudists at Saline Valley. After a few minutes, we all got over the novelty, and accepted that some people just like to be naked, even if its only 60 degrees outside. We just tried not to stare. Besides, there were a lot of other weirdos walking around to pay attention to. Like the guy in the Barney costume with duck feet. Or the pirate man, or the guy in the skirt made out of old ties. . . lets just say that if you looked 'normal', you were actually the weird one. We were surrounded by a lot of 'artist' types - people who use their creativity in unusual ways. It was actually kind of refreshing. We hang out with nerds everyday at school. We are nerds. While I set up the tents with my mom, Romy immediately started working on the baja, trying to take a closer look to see what exactly was wrong. After an hour or so, he discovered that the oil cooler was extremely loose. And that the rear main seal was intact and that the oil was most likely leaking from the large gap that opened up when the oil cooler wiggled its way loose from all of the bumps in the road for the past 60 miles or so. That was such good news to hear! After all, we would be able to fix it by just tightening the oil cooler back up, and refilling the oil. And with that news, we were pretty happy to head to the hot springs to check them out. The baja parked outside of the Lower Warm Springs area. There were actually three sets of springs. The main area, where the communal dinner was being served, and where there are many small hot tubs complete with a shower, is called Lower Warm Springs. There is even a lawn that is continuously being replanted and watered by the 'campground host.' I have the feeling he's been a squatter there for a long time, and became the host when the national park took the place over. He lives there year round and takes care of all the tubs and springs. It is completely voluntary and he gets no money (or so we heard and read). About 3/4 mile further to the east is another hot spring called Palm Hot Spring. There are two large jacuzzi style tubs build there, both fed by the same source. One is kept around body temperature while the other is about 105 degrees. Thats where we went our first night at the springs. It was packed with people, but not so bad. Everyone was pretty friendly. Further up the road, heading toward Steel Pass, there is a third and final set of springs called Upper Warm Spring. It is left in its natural state (meaning no tub or anything), although people dug out two muddy bottom pools to soak in. The springs are surrounding by green bushes, and fenced in completely to keep the wild burros out. The wild burros were once tame and owned by the many miners in the valley until they went bust. The miners released their burros and now they are wild, roaming freely in the valley and occasionally invading the campground looking for food that drunk people or stoned people leave out overnight. We went to check it out the next morning after we arrived (the day after Thanksgiving), but already found a bunch of people in there. In fact, it was hard to not find people everywhere. So we decided to wait a little bit and eat our lunch while the people who were already there were in the pool. We had salami and cheese sandwiches with some dried figs and dates. When we finished lunch, we waited some more. And kept waiting and waiting, but apparently these people were just going to keep sitting in the pool until they turned into prunes. Then, another car rolled in, and we saw people converging on the spring by foot. I was kind of getting pissed off at the people who were hogging the springs, so we decided to just leave and go visit the Saline Dunes instead. On our drive out, we passed about 8 more people, all headed to the spring either by foot or by Jeep. How crazy! The bath at Lower Warm Springs where you can take a hot or cold shower. After that point, I was starting to find the whole situation of feeling extremely crowed in the middle of such a huge deserted place a little bit ironic, in a bad way. Of course, we picked one of the most busiest times to come and visit, but its also one of the only times that we have enough time off to make the trip out there worth it. I just did not expect so many people there. Most of the people were very nice and kept to themselves, but others were very annoying. There was definitely a click of people (they called themselves 'camps') that had been coming to the valley every year for many years. I also got the impression that some of them had lived out their better years in the 70s and 80s at the springs, and have regular reunions. These were the people who I didn't like the most, because they had a very strange attitude. They openly commented about themselves and how long they had been coming to the springs, almost with this air about them, like they owned the place or something! One of the alpha females of the group came to the crowded hotter pool at the Palm Hot Spring one night (along with her posse), and saw that it was full. She rudely (but nicely) kicked people out by making all kinds of annoying comments, like, "Isn't it dinner time, guys?", etc, etc, blah blah blah. We had just got there, so there was no way in hell we were moving, but it worked on about 1/3 of the people (maybe because they had experienced her in the past). In some ways I wish we had decided to go to another pool, because being in the pool with those people was weird. They would talk and sing out loud (encouraging others to sing with them), and do a ooohhhmmmmmmm thing. They talked about their weird religion, and how they had to bless things and other strange stuff. Other people at the large pool were talking too (not part of their posse), but as soon as the conversation moved away from the posse, the alpha female said she wanted a moment of silence. WTF? Apparently, it was ok when they talked, but it was too noisy when others not part of their group talked. Somebody shoot me if I ever get that way! A bay window bus made it all the way from Utah! Okay, so I am going to complain some more. What gets me pissed off is that you can tell that these people were once young and hippie types. Except now, after hearing the way that they talked about themselves, they all grew up, made money, and lived in large expensive houses, like the alpha female who kept talking about her home on the top of the Santa Cruz mountains with a pool. It seems like the hippies turned into everything they once hated. Now they are just yuppies. Yuppies who come to Saline Valley once a year to reminisce about the old times, and make themselves feel good about themselves. Whatever. And now that I got all the bad out, I do have one good thing to say. Even though they were all kind of old (in their 50s, 60s, and even one woman in her 70s), they all looked very young! There must be something they were doing that kept them looking so good. Maybe its their way of thinking and their religion (or stress-free life style?). I don't know. Maybe it was because the sun was going down and I didn't get a real good look at them up close. Maybe they were really all wrinkled, but I just couldn't tell. Maybe it was because they were all skinny? Art display in the middle of the desert. Anyways, there were also plenty of other types of people there too, like the off-roaders kind. I tend to like those people more. They seemed to be there because of the challenge of getting there, and the springs we like a bonus at the end of the tunnel. The second night we camped, we went for an hour dip into one of the larger pools at the Lower Warm Spring. The crowd there seemed more normal. But we did meet one younger person (younger than us) that apparently grew up at the springs. Then we started hearing a lot of comments about children literally being born at the springs. So that's why I have the feeling that there must have been people squatting at the springs before the park took it over. They must have raised kids there and everything. I guess as long as you have shelter and food, you're all set to go, because there is plenty of water (hot and cold)! One interesting story we heard while we were in the tub, sharing company with more normal people, was one about a bee farmer. This was apparently a pretty recent story because the man is still alive (or maybe just recently passed away). Well, this bee farmer, decided to he wanted to keep his bees in Saline Valley because there is a salt lake with marshy type plants and other vegetation which the bees can make honey from. However, he didn't know that there were already roads that went into the valley made by miners. So instead, he went over the high mountain pass! I think he literally climbed from Big Pine up and over the 11 or 12,000ft mountain range on the west side of Saline Valley. We heard that he built two cabins along the path that he took over the mountains, and that they were along a canyon that has a spring tucked inside that cascades into a waterfall. One person said they hiked to the second cabin, which is still in good shape and can be used as a overnight thing while hiking on the trail. But you need ropes because some of the trail is steep and dangerous, I guess. The other cabin is rotted away, maybe. Well, given all the hints and details from the people we talked to, I think we know which canyon the trail is at. I want to go hiking up it in the spring, hopefully, and try to find the waterfall and old cabin! So the bee farmer kept his bees in the valley for a while, and once he got old and tired, (and figured out about the roads, I presume) he decided to retire on the west side of the valley in Big Pine. He might still be alive. What a crazy story! The road we took out of Saline Valley, the north pass. The last thing I want to write about are the military jets that fly over the valley. The air space over Saline Valley is designated as a low fly zone. So about once a day, the pilots do their low fly by's for training. We heard from other campers that the jets literally fly so low, that you can see the pilot's face from where you are standing. We saw two jets fly by really low our second day and it was actually true! We were able to see their helmets! And they were really loud! It was soooo cool! Better than any air show! So that's it about Saline Valley. We had a good time and hope to return again, but when there are less people, of course. Labels: death valley, hot springs, volkswagen Wild Mint All Around This past weekend, we went on an epic road trip with our friend Julie, who I met many years ago in Prague. She was one of my class mates when I was getting my TEFL teaching certificate there. After we graduated, she went on to teach in Cesky Budejovice for a wile, and I went on to teach at a small school in Prague for the rest of the summer. Now she's working at a bird observatory on Point Reyes, so close by to where we live, so we got together for a weekend of natural hot spring hopping. We wanted to go to a place we've all never been to before, so it was an adventure for all of us, so we busted out our hot spring guide and decided to go north. Two stone and concrete hot pools built up on bedrock exposed by the Pitt River. The only easily accessible hot springs up in the far north of California are in the southern Cascade range, in the Alturas region. We drove many hours, starting our journey Friday night. We left later than expected, but Julie drove late into the night. Finally, we were nearing the first spring on our list: Hunt Hot Springs near Big Bend. But we weren't sure of the camping situation there, so we camped in the national forest near Round Mountain that night. The next morning, we finished the drive all the way to the springs. On the way, we saw Mt Shasta in the distance! It had its own cloud formation above it, so the peak was obscured. But then the road dipped down between some ridges, so we couldn't see it anymore. Soon we drove through the small town of Big Bend, and over the Pitt River. There were what looked like scattered gypsy camps near the far edge of town, and an uncanny amount of old refridgerators. Next we were on a forest road, looking for a small rough dirt road that we were supposed to take all the way to the springs. After a few minutes we found it, but it was in no condition to drive on! It was all muddy and had deep ruts. Some of them were so deep and large, not even a huge truck would be able to get through. Consequently, we parked the car on the side of the road and started to walk the rest of the way. According to our book (which said the road was do-able by most passenger cars, and was really out dated, obviously), it was only another 2.5 miles to the springs. Setting up the tent in the national forest. So there we were, walking through the forest, on a forest 'road' with our bags full of towels, and other supplies. On the way we saw forest cows, who were more afraid of us than we were of it, and they ran away. We also walked past a Native American cemetery, which was marked in the book, so we knew we were on the right track. All the way, we were avoiding stepping in mud and falling on our ass. The road took us through a mixed pine and deciduous forest. All of the leaves were turning bright fall colors. Suddenly it seemed the road came to an end at the Pitt River. As we got there, we noticed an old man walking with a bucket. He was coming from a field of grass we saw on the other side of a fence marking private property. Then we saw another hobo camp on an elevated part of the river bank nearest to us. We tried avoiding the hobo camp, and walked down to the river where we saw steam coming out of numerous springs. Then we saw two concrete pools immediately to the left. We felt the water temperature in them and they were hot! Jackpot! The old man caught up to us and we asked him about the springs. He recommended the ones farther down the river bank, which we didn't see yet. He told us he came to fix the ones we were standing next to because a land slide broke one of the walls. You could clearly see where the landslide occurred, because the steep hillside had a bare dirt strip. Since he pointed us down the river, we went to check it out. Having a good time in Hunt Hot Springs. Just a short way along the river bank were four pools, also made of stone and concrete which held spring water from a few sources. The highest pool was really hot! It spilled over into the second pool which was a perfect temp. That pool spilled into the third, and it was a little cooler. The fourth pool was even cooler, and had its own source. Those cooler pools would be perfect for summer, but it was still chilly out, so we got into the second pool. Just as we were climbing in, another guy (who seemingly came out of the blue) arrived and started taking his clothes off to take a dip with us. So there we were, sharing the small tub (the only one of suitable temperature) with a naked guy. At first he was kind of quiet. He either didn't speak or he spoke really quietly. We tried to strike up conversation by talking about the springs we were at. We asked him all about what he knew of the area, and eventually, he started opening up. He told us he was a local, who grows 'food' in the area, and takes construction jobs here and there. He was currently working for the new owners of Big Bend Hot Springs Resort, which is a private resort just in town, but currently closed. Then he told us about the school system in Big Bend and how the school has a large swimming pool that is heated by the local hot springs and a school chef who makes $40,000 a year! The Pitt River flows right next to the pools. Back on the topic of the springs themselves, the man also told us that the campsite where the hobos were at is usually always filled with 'permanent-camper' types. Being there so long, they don't even have a toilet, so its getting kinda unsanitary. And after all that, he started complaining about how many people are showing up at the springs now, and how its driven the river otters away, which used to swim right by the springs. Well, we felt kinda awkward, not sure if he was openly complaining to us about us, you know what I mean? We were, after all, some of those people who keep showing up. But what the hell? Why not - its not like he owns the springs or something. That kind of brought up a dilemma I've been thinking about lately. About the idea of loving something to death. If you enjoy hot springs, or any other thing in nature, do you tell others about it so they can enjoy it too? Or do you hide it and keep it a secret in an attempt to selfishly preserve it? I don't know. I guess I tend to tell others, but only if they are interested. You won't find me writing a book with precise directions to all the hot springs, but (like I already do) I like blogging about it so others who are already looking for information can learn something if they are interested. Well anyways, he stayed for a pretty long time, and after he left, we lingered for a while and then decided to leave too because we wanted to try and find the other hot springs that we read had wild mint growing all around like weeds. But they were still pretty far away, near Alturas. When we got back to the car, we scraped off as much mud from our shoes as we could, and continued on our way out of Big Bend, back to the main highway. Along the way we got some really yummy coffee. Close-up of the wild mint growing all around. Well, eventually we got to the springs a few hours later. According to our book, they were right off the road, and we should be looking for a pull off and a small dirt area where there was parking. It was getting dark out when we found it, but the road to the small paring area was also pretty muddy, so we pulled off as best as we could on the side of the road. Once we were all ready, we started to scour the valley for steam rising, an indication of the spring location. But we couldn't find any steam. I started getting nervous that we drove all they way there and we wouldn't be able to find the springs. So we started to walk around the area, following all the trails we found. One trail took off into the sage bushes, which gradually turned into lush grass. The ground became soaking wet with flowing water and it felt warm on the bottom of my feet. Now I knew we must be getting close and at least on the right trail. We kept walking until we got to a rocky area, and suddenly, popping out from the ground in all directions was tons and tons of wild mint, carpeting the entire area. Then we saw three shallow pools with a bubbling small waterfall feeding them. We had found the famed Eagleville Hot Springs! But still, the pools weren't steaming, so we hoped that they weren't going to be too cool. I put my hand under the waterfall and contrary to what I expected, it was scalding hot! So was the first pool. We decided to get some snacks and beer and jump in. We were the only ones there. The hottest pool at Eagleville Hot Springs. The pools were literally on the side of the road, but not visible. Plus the traffic on that road was very sparse. We were pretty happy to be soaking in the pools after driving for so long. And I really enjoyed the wild mint. I picked a large bunch of sprigs and put them in the car. We made plans to make mojitos later. I think it was one of my favorite hot springs I've went to so far because of the mint. I don't know why, but they mint made me really happy! We munched on it and smelled it and it was so relaxing and refreshing. We were really bummed when we had to leave to find a camping spot for the night. Buckeye Gets Washed Out! The first time we visited Buckeye Hot Springs was during the camp out that Melissa organized with the vwcamperfamily (although only Melissa, Blake and Shelby, and us came - and that's OK!). It was early October, just as the first leaves on the aspen and cottonwood trees were turning yellow, but before the first snow of the season. And I mean literally right before the first snow of the season, because the day after we left the campground, Hwy 120 was closed for the first time that fall, due to snow. The first snow is always exciting and makes me think of skiing! A dusting of snow on the Sierras near Buckeye. Buckeye is right next to the Buckeye Creek, which swells when the rains come in the fall. Since the hot spring pools are made from rocks and sand, piled up to catch the hot spring water that flows over a travertine overhang, they wash out when the creek breaks its bank. I guess that's what happened between early October and late October. Because when we visited there again on Halloween weekend, the lower coolest pool had vanished, and the middle pools had become one, with part of a wall demolished. Cold creek water was rushing in, and the pool became shallow due to sediment build up when the creek ran through it, I assume. We clearly had a job on our hands if we wanted to soak here. But all we had was our hands. We didn't bring a shovel or bucket or anything that would've made it easier. The source of hot spring water at Buckeye - a hot water fall! Even though it was close to freezing outside, we got to work, taking stones from the creek and piling them on the demolished sections of the pool walls to first hold the hot water in. Then we started digging the pool deeper, scooping sandy sediments from the bottom and using it like mortar to keep the rock wall more solid. Eventually, we finished repairing the middle two pools and they were holding a lot more water than when we first arrived. It was more fun than work! We were the only ones there all morning. The morning sun and steam at Buckeye. The last time we were here, Romy talked to one local (kind of) young guy who said that he cross country skis to Buckeye once the snow gets really deep. Its about a 5 mile ski-in. When I heard about that, it got me really excited! I want to do that! Maybe the next time I write about Buckeye, it will be about a ski trip in! I wonder what the spring will be like - will it be washed out again?

FIFA U-17 World Cup Brazil 2019™ 26 October - 17 November Kaká, Djorkaeff and young entrepreneurs share inspiring stories at the FIFA Foundation Talk First FIFA Foundation Talk held at Sao Paulo's Museu do Futebol Kaká and FIFA Foundation CEO Youri Djorkaeff in attendance Five young community leaders from Latin America shared their stories On Friday, the crowd at the auditorium of the Museu do Futebol – the football museum at the Pacaembu stadium, in Sao Paulo – was diverse: experienced representatives of NGOs; young and incredibly socially conscious entrepreneurs from across Latin America; and, casually enough, two FIFA World Cup™ winners. As it turns out, by the end of the evening no one in the room seemed to be in as much admiration and awe as the two of them: Kaká and FIFA Foundation CEO Youri Djorkaeff. With the theme "Dare to be Brave", the first FIFA Foundation Talk was the opening act of a week-long gathering of the Young Entrepreneurs' Legacy Programme (YELP), which brought together young entrepreneurs from 13 Latin American countries, all of whom associated with projects that employ football to promote social change. Five of the young community leaders shared their personal stories of bravery on stage, drawing inspiration, smiles and a share of teary eyes from the crowd. "It is easy to take football for granted. To take life for granted. In the back of our minds, we all know that these beautiful stories exist; that, in spite of the difficulties they may have to overcome, many people are fighting for good causes and using football as a powerful means for that. But you don't really get to put this into perspective until you listen to each individual story, each individual struggle. It was illuminating to be here today," said Kaká, who then took to the stage alongside Djorkaeff. © Others The pair of world champions shared the experiences of when they themselves had to defy the odds in order to succeed, before answering questions from the audience. "When I joined the FIFA Foundation, I had a very clear idea of what the role of the FIFA Legends should be, and today this was at full display. I cannot overstate the meaning of an evening like this, when a bona fide superstar like Kaká looks these kids in the eye and listens to their stories, then relates these to his own personal journey. It was very special for me, and you can tell that it was for each of these inspiring young women and men as well." FIFA Forward provides Nepal's first ever residential girls' football academ...

Parker Solar Probe launched on historic mission to 'touch the sun' 12 August 2018 Astronomy Now A United Launch Alliance Delta 4 rocket climbs away from Cape Canaveral, Florida, boosting NASA's Parker Solar Probe into space for a seven-year mission to study the sun in unprecedented detail. Image: United Launch Alliance NASA's $1.5 billion Parker Solar Probe was blasted into space 12 August by a United Launch Alliance Delta 4 Heavy rocket that put the spacecraft onto a trajectory that will carry it past Venus on 2 October and then within 24 million kilometres (15 million miles) of the Sun on 5 November, the first of 24 close encounters that eventually will carry the probe within 6.1 million kilometres (3.8 million miles) of the star's visible surface. The repeated passes through the Sun's outer atmosphere, or corona, will expose Parker to temperatures up to 1,370 degrees Celsius (2,500 F) – hotter than lava – while whipping through the elliptical orbit's low point, or periapsis, at an eventual 692,000 kilometres per hour (430,000 mph). But using a state-of-the-art heat shield, the spacecraft's instruments, flight computer and other critical systems will remain at a comfortable 30 C (85 F) while collecting an unprecedented bounty of data. No spacecraft has ever attempted to fly so close to the Sun. Even its first encounter in November, four times farther out than its eventual target, will be three times closer than any previous mission. "In our very first flyby (of the Sun), we get a little more than 15 million miles away from the Sun's surface," said Nicola Fox, the Parker project scientist. "We're still three times closer than anything has been before. … The spacecraft is staying over the same area of the sun for many, many days, allowing us to do some really incredible science on our very first flyby." An artist's impression of the Parker Solar Probe, oriented heat-shield forward, during a close pass by the Sun. Image: NASA/Johns Hopkins APL/Steve Gribben Parker is focused on learning what heats up the corona to several million degrees while the visible surface below is hundreds of times cooler at 5,500 C (10,000 F). The heating could be due to complex interactions between electrically charged particles and the Sun's powerful magnetic field or the result of countless "nanoflares" pumping heat into the outer atmosphere. Or both. "We're used to the idea that if I am standing next to a camp fire and I walk away from it, it gets cooler," said Alex Young, associate director of heliophysics at NASA Headquarters. "But this is not what happens on the Sun. As we go from the surface of the Sun, which is 10,000 degrees (Fahrenheit), and move up into the corona, we find ourselves quickly at millions of degrees. So this is a fundamental question that drives not only how this star works, our Sun, but actually all the stars in the universe." Scientists also want to learn more about the mechanism that accelerates the electrically charged particles in the solar wind to supersonic velocities in the corona, possibly leading to improved space weather forecasting to help satellite operators, power companies and others prevent damage when torrents of high-energy electrons, protons and helium nuclei from particularly disruptive solar storms slam into Earth's magnetic field. "This space weather has direct influence, not always positive, on our technology in space, our spacecraft, it disrupts our communications, it creates a hazardous environment for astronauts and in the most extreme cases can actually affect our power grids here on the Earth," said Young. "So it's of fundamental importance for us to be able to predict this space weather much like we predict weather here on Earth." The Parker Solar Probe will make at least 24 orbits of the sun, using seven flybys of Venus to fine-tune its trajectory, eventually moving the close-in aim point within 6.1 million kilometres (3.8 million miles) of the Sun's visible surface. Image: Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory Eugene Parker, the University of Chicago astrophysicist who first theorised the existence of the solar wind in 1958, flew to Cape Canaveral to witness the launch. Now 91, Parker is the first living scientist to have a space probe named in his honour. "I really have to turn from biting my nails and getting it launched to thinking about all the interesting things, which I don't know yet, and which will be made clear, I assume, over the next five or six or seven years," Parker said after the Delta 4 Heavy thundered away. "It's a whole new phase, and it's going to be fascinating throughout. … All I can say is wow, here we go. We're in for some learning over the next several years." The Parker Solar Probe is equipped with four instrument suites. The FIELDS instrument will characterise the Sun's electric and magnetic fields, measuring waves and turbulence in the atmosphere to help scientists understand how magnetic field lines can explosively snap apart and re-align. The Wide-Field Imager for Parker Solar Probe, or WISPR, will photograph the large scale structure of the corona, studying coronal mass ejections, jets and other phenomena. The Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons Investigation, or SWEAP, includes two instruments designed to study the electrically-charged particles making up the solar wind, measuring their velocity, density and temperature. Finally, the Integrated Science Investigation of the Sun will use two instruments to measure particle energies to learn more about their origin and how they are accelerated to such high velocities. "The science is ground breaking, it's compelling, it's confused scientists and puzzled us for decades and decades and decades," said Fox. "We're now going to fly this mission." solar corona solar-stellar connection Dawn sees Ceres' salty spot 24 March 2016 Keith Cooper The Dawn spacecraft has finally been able to get a good look at the famous bright spot on the surface of Ceres, with NASA releasing new images at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Texas. 3000th comet discovered by Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) 15 September 2015 Astronomy Now On 13 September 2015, the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) discovered its 3,000th comet, cementing its standing as the greatest comet finder of all time.

This is a hard topic for me to write on because I like to steer clear from the talk of "bad things happen for a reason," but it's true- regardless of how hurt or sad we feel, everything a child of God goes through was allowed by God, and if we stick with Him through the hard times, we will see the beautiful end. Everything that happens to us has a spiritual significance. To understand this very often misquoted scripture, we have to dissect the verse phrase by phrase. "We know": Our hope in difficult times is based on the truths that God is in complete control of the universe and that He loves us. "that God causes": Our life is not a result of random plans, God orchestrates everything. God cannot make a mistake – He is God! "to work together": All our life events are interdependent parts of the process to make us like Christ. To make jollof rice, you need several ingredients, which are pretty distasteful to eat individually, but when skillfully put together, the taste is amazing! We need to yield all our unpleasant experiences to God, and He will bring beauty from our ashes. Bathsheba: committed adultery with David resulting in her husband's murder. These ladies had horrible reputations, but please read the bible to see how God turned their story around. God's purpose > our sins. "of those who love God and are called": this promise is only for the children of God. "become like His son": everything God allows to happen in our life is permitted for that purpose! Every problem is a character-building opportunity. The more difficult it is, the greater potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fiber. The things that happen outwardly in our lives are not nearly as important as the things that happen inside of us. Don't give up! Let's use what we're going through to grow up! Food for thought: What problem in my life has caused the greatest growth in me? Am I willing to allow my most painful experience be used to bring out something beautiful.

Hi, my name is Lou and I am delighted to be helping your family achieve better sleep! I am a mum of two wonderful children and remember all too well the challenges of having a child that doesn't sleep. Until attending my 6 week check up with the midwife I thought it was normal that babies were grouchy, irritable, and for most part either screamed or pooped. That was until I came across The Sleep Sense program by Dana Obleman which changed our lives forever! The program was proven, made sense and used gentle strategies. This then then led me to attend training held by Dana and become a Certified Sleep Sense Consultant – I wanted to help other families overcome their children's sleep challenges and bring about change in their lives.

Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange To Appear In 'Spider-Man 3' Derek Cornell October 8, 2020 2 min read The Hollywood Reporter just reported that Benedict Cumberbatch will reprise as Doctor Strange in Spider-Man's junior film. No word on what role he'll play but this comes after a Spider-Man multi-verse speculation. Having Strange appear in the next Spider-Man film gives us a lot of context as to why Jamie Foxx's Electro will make an appearance. The site said that he'll be a new father figure to Peter and will take on the responsibility left by Tony Stark. READ: Exclusive: Details on The Disney+ Animated Movie 'Night At The Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again' Doctor Strange will also star in his own film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which is set to start production soon. Reports say that the upcoming series, WandaVision will lead right into Doctor Strange's sophomore film. No word if the content of these two projects will fall into Spider-Man 3. Production on the project is expected to kick off on the 16th Queens, New York before making the move to Trilth Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, which means Tom Holland would have to juggle filming multiple projects as he is currently filming Uncharted, also for Sony Pictures, which they hope wraps soon. Spider-Man: Homecoming and Far From Home screenwriters Erik Sommars and Chris McKenna are returning to write the third film, with Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal producing. The majority of the cast is expected to return including Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jon Favreau, Jacob Batalon, Tony Revelori, Angourie Rice, Martin Starr, and J.B. Smoove. Jamie Foxx will also reprise his role of Electro from Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-man 2. It is unknown, if Jake Gyllenhaal will return as Quentin Beck aka Mysterio. Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures' untitled Spider-Man film is expected to hit theaters on December 17, 2021.

Under the new mortgage rules approved on August 4 by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), certain distressed homeowners who are being threatened with foreclosure may get relief, an article of Reuters reported. The CFPB will now require mortgage payment servicers to help struggling borrowers keep their homes from being foreclosed if they have made their payments on time. Unlike before, borrowers may now receive protections, such as mortgage modifications, several times. The new rulings are designed to aid borrowers who are dealing with sudden financial loss, such as from the death of a relative or losing a job. Mortgage servicers now are also required to provide information to struggling homeowners about their possible options. The rulings aim to reduce the effects of the foreclosure crisis that has plagued the country since 2006. If your home is being threatened with foreclosure in Birmingham, the attorneys at Greenway Bankruptcy Law, LLC may be able to help you prevent it. Find out how we can help you protect your family's home today by calling (205) 324-4000. Former professional football player Terrell Owens is at risk of losing one of his properties to foreclosure after he failed to settle mortgages of over $900,000, an August 6 article of Realty Today reported. According to reports, Owens defaulted $905,417.06 on his $2.2 million San Fernando Valley property that he and his former spouse Rachel Snider bought in 2014. The 42-year-old ex-member of the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys reportedly made the property available for sale for a slightly higher price. However, no one as of reporting has shown interest in buying it. The 90-day extension given by the bank to Owens to settle his debt has already expired and he decided not to pay his mortgage since he is already selling his home, reports said. Owens, who admitted in past reports that he is already broke despite making 70 million dollars in the NFL, is also selling his 4,250 sq./ft. house in Sherman Oaks for $2.35 million. If you are facing foreclosure, working with a skilled attorney is important, especially if you are unfamiliar with the complicated process. Find out how an experienced attorney at Greenway Bankruptcy Law, LLC may work for you in Birmingham today by calling (205) 324-4000. A July 28 report of Bloomberg revealed that this year's homeownership rate is the lowest in decades. In the recent data released by the U.S. Census Bureau, the nationwide homeownership rate was 63.5 percent in the first quarter, and it fell to 62.9 percent before the third quarter. This year's homeownership rate marks the lowest rate since 1965. The bureau found that people who are in the 18-35 age bracket and those looking forward to buying their own house are having a hard time finding affordable mortgages. Many people have turned to renting as a viable option. A real estate expert noted that while the trend of decreasing homeownership rates hurts people who are looking to buy a house, increasing renting trends are benefiting families who were victims of the foreclosure crisis. Due to home prices increasing faster than salaries, the attorneys at Greenway Bankruptcy Law, LLC in Birmingham understand that many families are liable to lose their homes to foreclosure. If you are facing potential foreclosure, we may be able to offer you legal options to save your family's shelter. Find out how we can work on your behalf today by calling (205) 324-4000. Real estate experts recently observed that the Russell County foreclosure rate is one of the highest in the state of Alabama, making its way to the 9th spot, an article of wtvm.com reported on June 30. According to reports, of every 1,200 homes in Russell County, at least one is being foreclosed upon. Members of the community do not find this development to be a surprise, since The Department of Defense cut 3,000 jobs at the nearby military base, Fort Benning. Military personnel either own or lease many of the houses in Fort Mitchell since it makes an easy commute to Fort Benning, which is one of the biggest employers in the area. Although the foreclosure rate in the area has increased, increased foreclosures translate to lower prices for buyers. Many families are left in trouble when their homes are foreclosed on. If you were the victim of a foreclosure, enlisting a qualified attorney can help you protect your home. Speak with an attorney at Greenway Bankruptcy Law, LLC in Birmingham today by calling (205) 324-4000 to learn more about your options. Although more homes were foreclosed in May than pre-recession levels, it is still nearly half the number of foreclosures that occurred in 2011, according to the Orange County Register on July 14. According to CoreLogic data, approximately 7.8 million homes across the nation have been foreclosed in the last 11 years. This past May is the most recent month with data available; during this month, 41,000 homes in the U.S. were experienced foreclosure. CoreLogic also revealed that 491,000 homes nationwide are currently in different stages of the foreclosure procedure. Despite these seemingly large numbers, May of 2011 saw the foreclosure of 77,000 foreclosures. The legal team of Greenway Bankruptcy Law, LLC, understands that in Birmingham alone, many homeowners are at risk of losing their homes to foreclosure. If you are in such a situation, our lawyers may be able to offer you legal solutions to save your home. Call our office today at (205) 324-4000 to find out how we may work for you.

It should go without saying that search engine optimization should be part of your online marketing efforts. If you choose to outsource your SEO campaign to a qualified service provider, you should know that there are options available to you outside of flat-rate pricing alone. I have personally seen a modest increase in the number of SEO firms offering performance-based pricing to their clients of late. While most serious SEO's will not consider performance-based SEO, it doesn't hurt to ask. The challenge to selecting a vendor in the performance based SEO space however is that you are more than just a client; companies (for all intents and purposes) become a partner of the SEO vendor. If you're ready for that, read on below. Take the WM Instant Survey: Would you hire an SEO on a performance based payment structure? While pricing of this nature may sound attractive to you as a website owner looking for SEO services, there are many problems with the performance based model. SEO is not a one-time effort, but instead requires the consistent development of content, and an equal dedication to having others notice your efforts and recognize them through linking, partnering, etc. The time it often takes to achieve high rankings on popular search engines within competitive industries dissuades many SEO's from even thinking about such a payment model. For those SEO's that do engage clients in this manner, they frequently tread lightly and often require a monthly retainer and then and only then schedule performance-based incentives with the client based on rankings for a list of pre-defined keywords. Another way to work with SEO's on a performance based model is for clients to pay for actions taken (leads, clicks, etc.) that were generated by the SEO's efforts. I've seen this done successfully in a few different instances. The problem however is that once the SEO stops "optimizing," traffic seems to fall off. Some performance based SEO's offer a "percentage of profit" model which may keep them engaged. Personally, I would highly advise against this type of relationship as they could tend to become strained and as you can imagine, negatively impact your bottom line. If you've got the guts and want the glory however (and don't mind partnering), this has the greatest amount of potential.

Seventy-five Davidson County Olympians, who compete worldwide in various events, were screened for athletic readiness. College of Pharmacy faculty and students were involved in screening medication profiles of the athletes, making sure proper cautions concerning allergies, exposure to the sun, drug adverse effects and drug interactions were not an issue for these participants. According to Joanne Drumright of Special Olympics, "The process went very smoothly, and we hope to scale up the screening, inviting athletes from a much broader area in an upcoming event." College of Pharmacy participants included Drs. Andy Webster and Phil Johnston along with students Marian Roufael, Razia Shamsuddin and Darrilyn Prout, all in their fourth year of study.

Kenya Water Towers Agency > Recent News > A Water Tower Is Not Necessarily A Forest A Water Tower Is Not Necessarily A Forest July 25, 2019 December 10, 2020 Water Towers The new Chairman of the Board of Directors for Kenya Water Towers Agency Dr Julius Malombe has clarified that a water tower is not necessarily a forest. "In some instances, a water tower is a swamp, wetland, rock or hill, we are guided by the international guidelines," Dr Malombe said. Speaking during the Inauguration of the Board of Directors by the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Forestry Keriako Tobiko on Thursday 25th July 2019, Dr Malombe said that the Agency is committed to develop a working relationship with all the 47 counties because water towers are spread out in all the counties. He also declared that sensitizing local communities on the conservation of water towers will be his priority number one. The Kenya Water Towers Policy and Bill, 2019 is at an advanced stage and soon will be delivered to CS Tobiko for his review and onward recommendation to the Members of Parliament for debate, the Chairman said. He further added that the mandate of the Agency is to coordinate and oversee the protection, rehabilitation and conservation of water towers. "We will utilize our knowledge and experience to execute this mandate," Dr Malombe said. As he concluded, Dr Malombe said one of the most important role of the Board is to recruit a chief executive officer. This, he said, is in the process and will be concluded in due course. He also requested CS Tobiko to fast-track the gazettement of the proposed ten water towers.

Community Family Guidance Center offers a broad range of outpatient mental health services that employ Best Practices to support our client's journey to wellness through the integration of evidence-based programs focusing on prevention, early intervention, and treatment services. We focus on children, adolescents, and transition-age-youth and their families who are high-risk, low-income, and living in underserved areas throughout Southeast Los Angeles County. Click Here for details on the process. We believe in the importance of early identification of emotional and behavioral difficulties. Through effective assessment and evaluation, we can determine the right level of care and treatment before challenges escalate into disorders necessitating long-term intensive treatment. Our commitment to a trauma-informed approach to service delivery, community engagement, and organizational management ensures that every person who comes into contact with us feels safe, empowered, and respected. We believe in taking a collaborative approach to meeting our clients' needs throughout all of our therapeutic services, case management, and community partnerships. We believe in providing culturally and linguistically appropriate services to the children and families we serve. We believe the mental health needs of one individual impact the entire family. For this reason, we have created an array of family support services that build healthy family units for our clients to heal, thrive, and achieve their potential. Our main focus is the reduction of psychiatric symptoms experienced by children and adolescents in order to help them become emotionally healthy and thrive in their environment. Most clients served through these programs have Medi-Cal Insurance. We do, however, have some limited funding for the uninsured or those unable to access other services, as well as programs developed to meet the needs of individuals without Medi-Cal coverage. We categorize these outpatient services as Intensive Mental Health Services, Non-Intensive Mental Health Services, Prevention and Early Intervention Services, and Initiative Programs. CFGC provides Prevention and Early Intervention, Non-intensive and Intensive mental health services directly at school sites to reach children and adolescence that would not normally receive needed mental, emotional and behavioral supports outside of the traditional school setting. Our programs are designed to remove barriers such as transportation, scheduling issues that conflict with parent(s)/or guardian's work schedules, and lack of financial resources. CFGC does not bill our clients. Most of our clients are covered under their Medi-Cal insurance but we do also provide services to the un-insured through limited indigent funds and fundraising. CFGC's therapist and case managers are fully integrated within the school setting to ensure response time is immediate, flexible and seamless to the needs of students, parents and school personnel. The programs work closely with administrators and teachers to provide consultation and classroom management techniques, and are provided with an understanding of school readiness and educational milestones; moving along a continuum of care beginning in preschool, through elementary and middle school, and culminating in high school. Early infant mental health services for at-risk preschoolers, 3 to 5 years of age, who are displaying signs of behavioral challenges; which makes them extremely vulnerable for child abuse and maltreatment. This unique program is designed to strengthen early childhood mental health and redirect identified behavioral difficulties through dyadic (parent/child) mental health services, giving them the foundation needed to enjoy a successful childhood and school career. Through this program, therapists and case managers are integrated directly into school sites, giving them the ability to seamlessly work with students and parents to create treatment plans based upon individualized mental, emotional, or behavioral needs. This program is also designed to work in collaboration with administrators and teachers to provide consultation and classroom management techniques. Pervasive concerns such as child abuse/maltreatment and bullying are also addressed through intervention and prevention education to the entire school community. This program works directly with school districts to assist in implementing the California School Aged Families (Cal-SAFE) program. Through this program, CFGC provides counseling and case management services to pregnant and parenting students. The goal of the program is to increase graduation rates; transition students into Post-Secondary education and/or work/vocation; and improve parenting skills, creating the overarching goal to decrease child abuse and maltreatment by assisting students in developing the emotional and environmental growth needed to graduate and successfully transition into adulthood. Sadly, one in five children in America are impacted by a mental health condition (National Institute of Mental Health, 2015) . While effective treatments and interventions are available, mental health conditions are under-recognized and under-treated. Additionally, in Los Angeles County alone, 157,960 children suffer from abuse or neglect (Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, 2009) . Both of these groups of children are more likely to drop out of school, use illegal drugs, end up in prison, and commit suicide (National Institute of Mental Health, 2015) . Founded in 1976, the Community Family Guidance Center's mission is to help Southeast Los Angeles County's underserved children and their families heal from trauma, abuse, emotional, behavioral and mental health issues through proven interventions and compassionate guidance. Roughly 80% of the children whom we serve annually suffer from some form of trauma, with 60% of the trauma related directly to physical abuse. Our therapy work results in an average 50% reduction in emotional, behavioral and mental health symptoms within six months from clients who completed the pre- and post-evaluations. Through this collaboration, Su Casa's transitional shelter residents receive mental health treatment for immediate trauma-related symptoms including depression, anxiety, PTSD symptoms in adults and children, and behavioral problems in children. Direct services are also offered to children who are exposed to violence, teaching them healthy coping skills to break the cycle of abuse; and promote healthier family relationships between parents and their children. Yearly, CFGC receives an increased demand for parenting services, especially among low to moderate income families. The Center's Family Support offers an array of programs and services including group and family therapy, child abuse prevention, community resources and outreach to strengthen and improve the resiliency of the communities we serve. CFGC offers a variety of parenting groups through its School-based programs, Family Wellness and Community Outreach programs. Parenting groups focus largely on prevention with the aim of increasing communication between parents and children, improving the relational dynamics among family members, decreasing parental stress, and improving parent's effectiveness in implementing limit setting. Ultimately, the goal of these direct parental supports is to increase a child's protective factors to decrease child abuse, delinquency, and school failure. The Reflective Parenting Program is geared towards 3 – 5 year olds and aims to improve the parent/child relationship by giving parents the tools needed to build secure relationships with their children. The program is provided in a group setting which enables parents through peer support to discover new ways to think about the relationship between behavior, feelings, and actions, while learning strategies and techniques needed to enhance their personal reflective functioning when responding to their children. The child's own social-emotional and cognitive capabilities. For many children, counseling services are most effective when in conjunction with psychiatric medication support. At CFGC, we carefully assess the needs of each child and the values and wishes of the family when considering medication services for our clients. The decision to include psychiatric medication support is a decision made between the family, the therapist, and the psychiatrist. If medication is prescribed, it is carefully monitored by our highly skilled psychiatrists who are specifically trained in working with children. For children and families in crisis situations, teams of therapists and case managers provide field-based services multiple times weekly, along with a 24-hour crisis intervention phone hotline, to stabilize the crisis situation and reduce the likelihood of the child being placed in residential treatment centers and psychiatric hospitals. Programs within our intensive services are Full Service Partnership (FSP) and Field Capable Clinical Services (FCCS) FSP offers services to children 0-18 years old and has some funding available to provide supportive services to others within the family. For children ages 0-21 and families with mental health needs, skilled therapists work collaboratively with the child, family, and others involved in the child's life via weekly therapy, medication, and case management services in the office, school, or home to address their self-identified goals and to improve functioning in the home, school, and community. Two programs included in these services are Family Preservation and Enhanced Mental Health services for children who are involved with the Department of Children Services. For children experiencing mental health issues for the first time, skilled therapists provide short term treatment to return the child and family to their previous level of functioning and prevent the need for more intensive services. The goal of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is to help children, adolescents, and their parents/caregivers overcome trauma-related challenges such as anxiety, depression, and withdrawal. TF-CBT is designed to reduce negative emotional and behavioral responses following child sexual abuse, domestic violence, traumatic loss, and other traumatic events. It also provides support and teaches skills to the parent/caregiver to cope with their own emotional distress and to support their children. Individual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) is intended as an early intervention program for individuals who are experiencing or may be at risk for symptoms of anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma which impact multiple areas of daily living. This treatment modality is a collaborative effort between the therapist and client and utilizes different therapeutic methods to address negative thought and behavior patterns that interfere with daily functioning. ICBT treatment can be utilized for transitional aged youth and adults. Currently this program is only open to parents of clients at our agency. The Reflective Parenting Program (RPP) is an innovative 10-week workshop series that engages groups of 6-10 parents in an in-depth experiential learning process. Each week includes instruction, discussions and exercises to engage parents in various topics related to their child's development. The workshops enable parents to discover new ways to think about the links between behavior, feelings, and actions, while learning strategies and techniques designed to enhance their reflective functioning. These interventions help children feel more secure in the parent-child relationship and provide families with tools that will be critical to the child's developing capacity to form and maintain intimate, mutual, and supportive relationships in the future. A family centered, culturally sensitive parenting and family strengthening program provided in a group therapy setting. This program has been proven to increase positive family relationships and decrease problematic behaviors such as delinquency, adolescent drug abuse, poor school performance and involvement in the juvenile justice system through enhancing family's protective factors.

This beautifully defined image is of a size and type heretofore unknown in Chinese Tang pottery sculpture. The partial figure still measures around five feet tall. Even seated, the complete figure was probably around seven feet or more tall. Most likely it was meant to represent one of the Imperial Li families. This is not one of the ritual counselor or dignitary figures found in the traditional Tang mortuary retinue. There is a partial iron armature still visible, which means this piece was probably all hand sculpted. Original calcified glass or mineral inlays are in the eyes, and extensive gold and pigment traces adorn the overall creation.

Doors. Open or closed. Entrance. Exit. "Nothing there!" said Peter, and they all trooped out again - all except Lucy. She stayed behind because she thought it would be worth while trying the door of the wardrobe, even though she felt almost sure that it would be locked. Bluebottle: Yes, why do you not open the door? Eccles: Okay, I'll- How do you open a door? Bluebottle: You turn the knob on your side. Eccles: I haven't got a knob on my side! So many doors! They always make such perfect photographic subjects. I think we subconsciously enjoy the metaphor as much as the structure of the doors themselves. I like doors and windows but doors I like better ---Doors lead places ...there's mystery! while windows reflect (sometimes through the grit and grime, sometimes in a warpy way ) giving the shooter strange self portraits. A cat in the window is always good though! I see a lot of brooms near doors lately. I love that sea green color on the one door, and the carving on the other. Doors say a lot, don't they? nice doors, the second i believe is my favorite. i always wonder what is through the next door. I also came looking for your mineral post, but found this one on doors, if you look at my blog you will see that I have a fascination for doors myself. I love shooting doors - but after I'd made this post it struck me that all the doors in the pictures are shut. I don't know why I don't have any shots of open doors. I always want to look through an open door, the same as I want to look in windows - whether it's for the refection or to see what's inside. Thanks for the comments. I'm off to look at your blogs now.

The parents of Thomas E. Sparks, Addison Sparks and Mary (or Polly) Watts, were married in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, in 1816. The bond that was provided for this marriage was dated August 19, 1816. We can assume that the marriage took place within a few days of the signing of this bond. Levi Watts served as bondsman and Mary's name is clearly recorded as Watts, although a descendant had thought her name was Watson. Addison Sparks was born between 1790 and 1800, ca. 1795. His name appears for the first time in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, property tax records in 1817, the year following his marriage. This suggests that he married as a very young man. An article on the Pittsylvania County Sparks family appeared in the QUARTERLIES for September 1955 (Whole No. 11, pp. 79-85) and March 1956 (Whole No. 13, pp. 109-121). This was based on an extensive search of Pittsylvania County records by William Perry Johnson. Mr. Johnson points out that three Sparks families came to Pittsylvania County in 1778 from Prince George's County, Maryland: 17.1 Thomas Sparks (born ca. 1711) with wife Elizabeth MNU, born ca. 1718; 17.2 Matthew Sparks, born ca. 1715 with wife Eleanor MNU, born ca. 1731, and 17.1.2 Matthew Sparks, Jr., son of 17.1 Thomas Sparks who had married Margery LNU in 1765. It seems probable that Thomas Sparks and the elder Matthew Sparks were brothers, but we have found no proof of this. All three of these Sparks families sold their land in Prince George's County, Maryland, in 1777 and purchased land in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, the following year. The land that they purchased was on the branches of Sandy River. Both Thomas and Matthew Sparks were in their 60's when they migrated from Maryland to Pittsylvania County; their reason for making such a move at that age must have been primarily to accompany their children. From the tax and land records of Pittsylvania County, it is apparent that a number of their children quickly established homes in the new land. In the early 1800's, "Addison" was an unusual name not only in the Sparks family but in most other southern families as well. It was, therefore, frequently misspelled. On the property tax list of 1818, Addison Sparks's name was written as "Anderson Sparks." On other occasions it was spelled "Anderson Sparks." On December 20, 1819, for example, Addison Sparks witnessed a deed (Book 23, p. 292) of George and Elizabeth Ward to Thomas Sparks - - here his name was recorded in the deed book as "Anderson Sparks." The last record (Deed Book 26, p. 87) pertaining to Addison Sparks found in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, is dated May 10, 1823. This is a record of a sheriff's sale of 50 acres of land owned by "Anderson Sparks" to pay a debt of $106.79 which Sparks owed to Benjamin Watkins. The sheriff, whose name was Robert Walters, sold the land to Lemuel Norton. Lemuel Norton had married Elinor Sparks, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Sparks, in 1820 (marriage bond dated January 18, 1820). We have found no deed that reveals how Addison Sparks came into possession of this 50 acre tract of land which was sold in 1823. Perhaps he had inherited it. 46. Addison Sparks was not listed as the head of a household on the 1820 census of Pittsylvania County, although he must have been living there at the time. He may have been overlooked by the census taker or he and his wife may have been living with a relative. The only other Sparks household with a. family enumeration that could have included Addison's family was that of Edmond Sparks (see page 114 of the March 1956 Quarterly). Sometime prior to 1829, Addison Sparks moved to Parke County, Indiana. Whether this was a direct move from Pittsylvania County, Virginia, is not known. Unfortunately, a fire in the Parke County courthouse in 1832 destroyed the early land records there. A "Relief Book" was opened after the fire to permit residents again to register their deeds and one of the deeds recorded was that of "Adison Sparks" and his wife, Mary, dated September 28, 1829 (Relief Book p. 206). In this deed, Addison and Mary Sparks sold land located in Adams Township, Parke County, to John Gray. In the same Relief Book (p. 433) a deed appears by which Addison and Mary Sparks sold land located in Florida Township, Parke County to Robert Catlin on December 9, 1831. In this deed, his name is spelled "Aderson." 46.1 Daughter, born ca. 1817. 46.2 Thomas E. Sparks, born July 4, 1819. 46.3 Daughter, born ca. 1822. 46.4 Son, born ca. 1825. 46.5 Daughter, born ca. 1827. 46.6 Daughter, born ca. 1830. 46.7 Son, born ca. 1832. 46.8 Son, born ca. 1834. At this time, we can be positive in the identification of only the eldest son, 46.2 Thomas E. Sparks. We have a list of the Sparks marriage records preserved in Parke County (see page 1924 of this issue of the Quarterly). It seems probable that some of these were children of Addison and Mary (Watts) Sparks. Living very near 46. Addison Sparks when the 1830 and the 1840 censuses were taken of Parke County, Indiana, was Wesley Sparks whom we believe to have been closely related to Addison Sparks. Wesley Sparks, who was born ca. 1790, served in the War of 1812 from Harrison County, Indiana, and, in 1851 and 1855, he applied for bounty land on the basis of that service. An abstract of his application appeared in the September 1964 Quarterly (Whole No. 47, pp. 846-847). From this we know that he volunteered for service in Corydon, Harrison County, Indiana, on October 20, 1812, and served from October 20 to November 18, 1812, under the command of Captain Jacob Zenor of the 5th Indiana Regiment. He also served from March 12 to April 16, 1813, under Captain Hughes in the same regiment. When he made application for bounty land in 1851, as a resident of Parke County, Indiana, Wesley Sparks stated that he was 61 years old; when he applied for additional land in 1855, he gave his age as 65. He was still a resident of Parke County in 1860 at which time he was living with Daniel & Mary Overpeck; Mary may have been his daughter. We know that there was a close relationship between this Wesley Sparks and 49. Baxter Sparks and Tillotson Sparks. A lengthy article on Baxter Sparks appeared in the Quarterly of March 1972 (Whole No. 77, pp. 1466 -1474). Baxter Sparks was born in Pittsylvania County on May 8, 1777, and married Elizabeth Gwin there on September 20, 1806. In the Quarterly of June 1976 (Whole No. 94, p. 1828) we reported that a descendant of Baxter Sparks has a letter written many years ago by another descendant of Barer stating that Baxter's father had been one Thomas Sparks of Virginia and that the wife of this Thomas Sparks had the maiden name of Sanders. Her first name, however, is not mentioned. Addison Sparks, Baxter Sparks, Wesley Sparks, and Tillotson Sparks were all born in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, between 1777 and 1795. All four went west from Virginia to Indiana. They were probably closely related; perhaps they were brothers. The only child of 46. Addison and Mary (Watts) Sparks that we have identified positively is 46.2 Thomas E. Sparks, who was born in Augusta County, Virginia, on July 4, 1819; he died August 8, 1909, in Custer, Oklahoma. He was married in Parke County, Indiana, on July 18, 1839, to Catherine Melton. She was born July 20, 1821, in Kentucky and died on January 13, 1892, in Smith County, Kansas. She was a daughter of Joseph Melton. It is known that her mother's maiden name was Walters. Thomas E. and Catherine (Melton) Sparks moved a number of times - - in 1860 they were living in Clark County, Illinois. When the 1880 census was taken, they were in Houston Township, Smith County, Kansas. Both Thomas E. Sparks and his wife, Catherine, are buried in Crystal Plains Cemetery in Smith County, Kansas (his body was brought there for burial although he had died in Oklahoma). 46.2.1.1 Edwin (or Edward) Riley Greaver, born February 10, 1860, in either Edgar or Clark County, IL., died May 30, 1952; he married Mary Angeline Lerew on January 6, 1885. 46.2.1.2 Mary Ellen Greaver, born March 18, 1863, died November 19, 1905, in Lenora, Dewey County, Oklahoma.; she married Joseph Marshall McCasland in Gaylord, Smith County, Kansas. 46.2.1.3 Thomas Greaver married Mrs. Bell Lohmiller in 1908. 46.2.1.5 Emory Greaver, married Lou Weeks. 46.2.1.6 Alveda Greaver, never married. 46.2.2.4 Jordan E. Johnson, age 3, born 1877. 46.2.3 Elizabeth E. Sparks was born in 1847 in Indiana; she married Robert W. Howard on May 8, 1870. 46.2.4 William Francis Sparks was born September 1849 in Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana. He died on September 1, 1901. He married Arvilla Roxiean Fuller on September 1, 1872. When the 1880 census of Smith County, Kansas, was taken, they had a daughter named 46.2.4.1 Alice Sparks, age 3 - born 1877, and a son named 46.2.4.2 Levi Sparks, age 1 year, born 1879. 46.2.5 George W. Sparks was born in 1852 in Indiana and died prior to 1944. 46.2.6 Martha C. Sparks was born January 10, 1855, in Clark County, IL., and died on January 16, 1944. She married Jordon Johnson. 46.2.7 Isabel Sparks was born in 1857 in Clark County, IL. She married William Hull and died between 1920 and 1944. 46.2.8.3 Thella May Hart, born ca. 1886, died 1917.

Lamborghini Centenario In Real Action for the First Time! The special sportscar model has been made to honor the 100th birthday of its founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini. The Centenario was presented earlier this year. Only recently, the company presented its capabilities to the media. In the promotional video, Centenario is in its "home" – the track Nardo Ring, where you can hear the engine roar. After the car was in public, it was haunted by perpetual "paparazzi". In the video below, we can see now impressive the anniversary model of Lamborghini really is. This jubilee model is based on the Aventador SV, but there are differences in the cockpit and centre console, and additional features such as cameras that record the driving route. The engine is taken from the Aventador so it's sn atmospheric 6.5-liter V12, that delivers 770 horsepower and accelerates from 0-100 in just 2.8 seconds, while the maximum speed is 350 kilometers per hour. The video is recorded on the track Nardo Ring in Italy, where Centenario shows great force, attractiveness, unique beauty and full glory. The car is equipped with a telemetry system for driving in racetrack and two cameras that record all the action. Limited to just 40 units, of which 20 are coupes and 20 are roadsters, the Centenario was sold out by the time it debuted in March, at a price of $1.9-million.

In contrast to his brother Heinrich Mann, Thomas Mann shared the widespread support of the war by the literary and academic elites. He even defended its atrocities as part of a defense of German culture, and demonstrated in Betrachtungen eines Unpolitischen how patriotism, nationalism, and conservativism were constitutive for German society. During the war years, Thomas Mann (1875-1955) took political and aesthetic positions that were diametrically opposed to those of his brother, Heinrich Mann (1871-1950). From the beginning, Thomas Mann justified, praised and celebrated the war, and repeatedly focused on the special condition of the German psyche which, in his view, explained the German readiness for war as well as his own intellectual background. In November 1914, he published his Gedanken im Kriege ("Thoughts in War"), followed in 1915 by Frederick the Great and the Coalition, and shortly thereafter by Gedanken zum Kriege ("Thoughts about War"). The basic concepts of these early texts (which led to a long and lasting period of estrangement between the brothers, who had until then entertained a close artistic relationship) are summed up in a very lengthy, and almost obsessively defensive essay titled Betrachtungen eines Unpolitischen ("Reflections of an Nonpolitical Man"), published in October 1918. "Thoughts in War" appeared only a few weeks after the "Manifest of the Ninety-Three", in which leading German literary and academic representatives addressed the international "world of culture" ("Kulturwelt") and tried to justify the violation of Belgian sovereignty by advancing German troops, as well as the brutal massacre and retaliation against alleged partisans, and the burning of the famous university library of Leuwen. Explicitly, they defended German militarism as an indispensable guarantor of culture. In his own text, Thomas Mann, who had not signed this manifest, went even further by 1) praising the war as a purifying and necessary experience, and 2) by claiming that the German position was the reflection and defense of a higher culture. According to Mann, Germans had to defend themselves against a shallow Western civilization, which stood for "reason, enlightenment, moderation, moralization, skepticism, dissolution – and mind" as well as affluence and acquiescence, while German cultural values were concerned with "a certain organization of the world." War is thus celebrated by Mann as a highly welcome departure from the lures of civilizational affluence, a return to mystical life values, and a preservation of national characteristics. The scope of the "Reflections" is even broader, while continuing to follow the same ideological goals. Thomas Mann emphasizes the special geographical situation held by Germany, which did not share "Western" values, the tradition of Protestantism (with its religious and political connotations) and, finally, German cultural traditions, especially in music and philosophy, for example Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860), Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) and Richard Wagner (1813-1883). As a "spiritual people", Mann considered Germans to be apolitical or even anti-political, which is also how he self-identified. According to Mann, this made Germans conservative proponents of monarchy, which Mann argued, included many freedoms in its modern form. Mann vehemently attacked the concept of the so-called "Zivilisationsliterat", namely, a proponent of literature advocating progressive or democratic values, as an unpatriotic or anti-German concept. This was because it betrayed the very foundations of truly German art. Thomas Mann referred to Heinrich Mann's essay entitled Zola throughout, quoting his brother consistently without explicitly mentioning his name. Thomas Mann also critiqued his brother's novel Der Untertan and calls it a "distorted portrayal without a realistic base" ("ein Zerrbild ohne Wirklichkeitsgrund"). Thomas Mann's essay Betrachtungen was published in October 1918, and influenced the positions of the so-called "conservative revolution" during the early years of the Weimar Republic. While the author ultimately changed some of his views, including those on war and monarchy, most of his philosophical and aesthetic concepts had an impact that carried far beyond the war years. ↑ Mann, Thomas: Gedanken im Kriege, in: Thomas Mann.

Blood pressure and fetal heart rate changes with patient-controlled combined spinal epidural analgesia while ambulating in labour. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of patient-controlled combined spinal epidural analgesia (PCEA) on maternal pulse and blood pressure, and fetal heart rate in primigravid women, when adapting different positions in labour. DESIGN: A prospective study. SETTING: Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea hospital, London. PARTICIPANTS: Fifty-five primigravid women in labour at > or = 37 weeks of gestation; 40 women had supervised standing top-ups given by an anaesthetist. A further 15 women had PCEA top-ups given in each of standing, sitting and lying positions. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Maternal pulse rate, blood pressure and fetal heart rate changes following epidural top-ups. RESULTS: In the first 40 women there was no clinically significant fall in their blood pressure (< 5 mmHg). The subsequent 15 women who had PCEA top-ups had no fall in blood pressure in the standing and sitting positions, though the average blood pressure fell significantly when a top-up was given in the lying position. Maternal heart rate increased significantly at 12 min post top-up when the women were in the standing position (P = 0.0018). In the 15 women who had PCEA top-ups, the CTG showed improvement in decelerations when women were in the standing position but deterioration when in the lying position (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Patient-controlled epidural analgesia top-ups with maternal mobility may be beneficial to the fetus possibly by reducing the hypotension normally associated with top-ups in the lying position. 8508666 - Effect of four combined oral contraceptives on blood pressure in the pill-free interval. 3094806 - Fate in intermittent claudication: outcome and risk factors. 11704176 - Cerebrovascular reactivity in normal pregnancy and preeclampsia. 11263026 - Identifying hypertension using the ohio blood pressure history survey.

I'm new here with ambitious intention to setup demo space at Gen Con this year. Could someone please detail how this is done? I've checked the event registration and couldn't see any option to indicate "Contracted" or "Demo" space. Is this option just not open yet? Or am I missing something? It covers contracted demo space as well as regular ticketed events -- start on page 8. You need to email events@gencon.com with the details of what you have in mind, basically. We'll discuss paramters and set up an invoice. Baseilne details are near the end of the Event Host Policy, yes.

A City in Crisis An excerpt from Flint Fights Back by Benjamin J. Pauli By Katie Daniels | May 7, 2019 Shenghung Lin/Flickr When Benjamin J. Pauli, an assistant professor at Kettering University, moved to Flint, Michigan, with his wife and three-year-old son in the summer of 2015, he knew that the world saw Flint as a once-proud General Motors company town now decimated by deindustrialization and white flight. But to Pauli, "Flint was a city with character" and a distinctive place in history. It was one of the first cities in the U.S. to have a black mayor, and the site of a sit-down strike that launched the American labor movement. "Flint was not the kind of city where people rolled over or gave up," writes Pauli. "It had a fighting spirit." Pauli witnessed that spirit firsthand in the wake of the Flint water crisis—a crisis that directly affected Pauli's own family when it emerged that his young son had potentially been exposed to dangerous levels of lead. Flint Fights Back is part sober analysis of the water crisis, part dispatch from the frontlines of the environmental justice movement, and a moving testament to a city's fighting spirit. When I arrived in Flint I was only dimly aware that some of its residents were in the middle of yet another fight, one that would rival anything in the city's past. I'd heard that there had been some issues with the city's drinking water and been warned to expect fluctuations in the water's taste as the utility fine-tuned its treatment methods. But I was given no reason to believe that the water was a safety hazard. Within my social circle, as an assistant professor at a private university and a resident of a predominantly white and (by relative standards) affluent neighborhood, no one seemed particularly alarmed. When I turned on the bathtub faucet one evening to fill the bath for my son and brown, grainy water gushed out, I wrote it off as an anomaly, having been told that periodic fire hydrant flushing could dislodge sediment and cause temporary discoloration. The resident voices pleading that the water was not safe were, from my perspective at the time, faint, drowned out by the reassurances of neighbors and government authorities who said the water was fine and presumably knew what they were talking about. Over the next few months, those voices were amplified and vindicated in dramatic fashion. In July, EPA drinking water expert Miguel del Toral leaked an internal memo he had written to his superiors outlining his suspicion that Flint's water supply was experiencing system-wide lead contamination. In August and September, a collaborative water sampling effort by Flint activists and Virginia Tech engineers confirmed that there were high levels of lead at the tap in homes across the city. Toward the end of September, a team of researchers led by Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha of Flint's Hurley Hospital showed through a statistical analysis of blood lead levels that the lead in the water was finding its way into the bodies of the city's children, putting them at risk of a host of developmental deficits. Residents rushed to get their water and their children's blood tested. Politicians declared states of emergency at the city, county, state, and federal levels. The national news media began to pay attention to what was happening in Flint. By early 2016, the "Flint water crisis" had become the subject of widespread public outrage and, in the heat of presidential primary season, a political cause célèbre. For Flint residents like myself, however, the water crisis was first and foremost a deeply personal affair. Our water test results came back at 6 parts per billion (ppb) lead and 70 ppb copper—both below the EPA's action levels of 15 ppb and 1,300 ppb, respectively, but hardly reassuring with a young child in the home. I found myself asking questions I had never fully confronted before: Did the fact that our levels were below federal thresholds mean our water was "safe"? Should the levels that trigger administrative action be the same ones that spur me as a parent to take steps to protect my family? Why had no one ever encouraged me to ponder that distinction or to be proactive about testing my water? It was disconcerting to think that neurotoxic heavy metals were entering my son's body in any quantity, and disillusioning to learn that regulatory agencies recognized and tolerated it. Furthermore, how much could one grab sample actually tell us about the quality of our water day by day? Hoping to avoid bottled water, I purchased a lead-certified filter (in the days before they were widely available for free), only to conclude after two infuriating weeks of repeated trips to the hardware store and many torrents of profanity that it could not be made to fit my kitchen faucet. The whole faucet had to be replaced: an expenditure of time, effort, and resources that many Flint residents confronted by the same problem could ill afford. Then there was my son's blood test. Our family physician informed me that his level of blood lead was normal—"normal" defined as around two micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood (2 μg/dL). The catch was that we had delayed getting the test done until two months after switching to filtered water, a lag caused by our doctor's initial counsel that such a test was not necessary. Because lead leaves the bloodstream in roughly a month's time to roost in the bones, we will never know if, during our use of unfiltered tap water in the months prior, our son was lead poisoned. This is not just our predicament, but that of many, many other Flint parents for whom a "normal" test result did little to assuage their feelings of guilt and anxiety. Personally, I felt guilty for another reason, too. As someone with a history of activism and an interest in political dissent and social movements, I was ashamed at having written off the voices in the wilderness that had helped to expose the water crisis for what it was. I started paying close attention to the water activists, an easier task now that their activities were getting more coverage. I began to realize that the explosion of the lead issue into a national scandal owed much more to a groundswell of popular agitation than I had previously appreciated—in fact, to something that could legitimately be termed a water movement. In January 2016, as Flint activists shifted their focus from convincing the world of the harm being done by the water to fighting for accountability, remediation, and reparations, I decided I could no longer watch from the sidelines. Excerpted from Flint Fights Back: Environmental Justice and Democracy in the Flint Water Crisis by Benjamin J. Pauli, The MIT Press, 2019. Katie Daniels is the assistant editor for the Scholar.

More updates from Anatolian puppy owners!! Daisy (Duke x Pie 2009) taking a 3 point major win in California! Daisy is not that short - her handler is 6'5" tall! Daisy on her grooming table. Daisy in the ring (on left). Daisy in the snow! Lexie (Duke and Pie 2009) in Spring of 2010! Here is Lexie with her new brother, Buck. Buck is a Hilda x Beau 2010 puppy! I hope you are all doing well and staying cool through this heat wave! We took Buck to get his Rabies shot on Saturday 3 July and he weighed 27 lbs. He loves to eat! He is full of energy and he really is having fun playing with Lexie. When I get home from work each day and see Buck he looks like he's growing everyday! At 12 weeks, Rob and I laughed at how different Buck's personality is compared to Lexie's. He is not afraid of anything where as Lexie was a little more timid at that age. Buck is in training now learning to sit, lay down and stay. - Patricia M. Bedia (Duke x Sally) in the snow February 2010. I had the pleasure of seeing Bedia in May this year - she looks wonderful! Aila Joy (Hilda x Beau 2010) relaxing in the easy chair! Bedia (Duke and Sally) helping to open the box! Bedia waiting to go out in the snow! Ayla (on the right - Sally x Marky 2008). Those are some heavily guarded goats! "Ayla is doing wonderfully. She and my rescued ASD, Hoki, are quite a team. They are the best of buddies. She is turning in to a great LGD. She spends all of her time with the goats now, she is happiest and less bored outside with her charges. Getting Hoki for her was the best decision, it has worked out wonderful. We're dealing with the heat pretty well. It sure has been a scorcher of a summer. Here's some pictures of her. The last two pictures were from this past winter. I just love the one of them sleeping in the goat shed. Take care and stay cool." Well, Ayla has taken napping to all new levels hasn't she? Ayla (Sally x Marky '08) and buddy Hoki. Annie (Hilda x Beau 2010) in her first week home! "The heat was one of the things about Texas I didn't miss - it shouldn't be so hot here! conditioning vent and lays down on it - smart girl! She had another round of shots yesterday - weighed in at 30.6 lbs, lean and tall - beautiful girl! working on "come" outside (inside no problem) - sometimes that stick or pile of dirt is just too tempting. Attached some pix from this past week and half. Note: Kim called me and we took care of the "drive-by nipping"! Annie has a pretty comfy seat there! Annie at 13 weeks with a butterfly? Her owner reports that she is doing very well! She is an adored member of the family! Yogi - a Duke and Pie 2009! What a pretty head! Yogi (Duke x Pie) He is a beloved member of the family. Very protective! It's exciting to see that Beau has puppies running around! They look so handsome. Ayla is doing well. We completed 2 obedience classes this past winter/spring. She is doing pretty good with commands - and quite honestly, the socialization had been the most important part. Where we attended classes there are about 4 classes running at once, lending itself to many dogs and lots of distractions. She has felt the need a couple of times to let others know who is the real boss of the group...At home, she is so gentle with the girls, changing her demeanor when hearing their voices. I am diligently trying to work on my leadership skills. [My husband]thinks she takes over as boss when he is not around. This is primarily due to how she reacts with not-quite-strangers when he is present opposed to when he is not. We have seen a difference. But what an amazing and interesting creature she is. Not only is this apparent to us, but to all that meet her. I have attached some pictures, and will send more soon. Ayla Melek - you can tell she is Duke's daugher - look at that head and profile! Angel - what a cute character! Angel says that's a mighty big dog! Here is Emma (Duke x Sally 2009) What a pretty girl! She accompanies her mom on mushroom hunts and never lets her owner out of her sight! This is Duke (Hilda x Sas 2009) watching over his little charge. Duke loves Bruno the schnauzer. Duke is doing great! He was 112lbs first week of june at his vet visit. Duke and Bruno (min.schnauzer) play all the time. He is a very good watch dog and very good with the kids, 2 1/2 and 5 1/2. We take him for walks and he does real good on leash. Have him on Nutri Source large breed puppy. We know when he barks someone is close by the yard or house. Kids climb all over Duke and he doesnt mind, very playful. Duke is a big boy! Titan (Hilda x Beau) I called this one the lion and his new owners treat him like a king!! This is just the best shot of Titan. Titan in his crate snoozing! We just got back from our nieces birthday party, and there were tons of kids, he was amazing!! When the smaller kids came up to him, he laid down and just them them all pet him. He licked them and gave them all "high fives", he was the life of the party. On the way back home he passed out, he's still passed out in his crate! Here is Rainie - a Duke and Sally 2009 puppy! Here is Rainie (Duke x Sally) watching Westminster! Hi Catherine – hope all is well! Here's a few pictures of Rainie (not the best, but the most recent) so you can see how he is progressing… took these about a month ago so he's a little bigger these days. Yes, that one picture is him watching the Westminster dog show on TV, he loved it. Slowly but surely he is turning into a man - he's more and more protective of his house and property and now shows his serious side more often. Still a sweetie pie with people, but it's interesting how he now acts towards other dogs. Free-roaming neighborhood dogs (we have a few that get out of their pens on occasion) are buddies to play with as are dogs of our friends, but if they are leashed and walking down the street, he's a little more wary. Very interesting that he sees a difference. He and Toby still are best buds, and the cats have accepted him into their world, so for all intents and purposes everyone has gelled into one cohesive family perfectly. I haven't weighed him recently, but if I were to guess probably around 85-90 lbs right now, and he's 27 inches to the shoulder. Very healthy, happy and alert, fur is in great shape and no signs of any problems with him. Now that the weather is turning warmer, I'll be taking him with Toby and I on our fishing trips to the Potomac river. He's going to learn to swim real soon! Rainie - what a beautiful dog. He is Duke Jr. in looks. Rainie swimming at the river! Just a quick note and some pictures, Mt. Rainier is doing extremely well and has taken over "man of the house" duties. He's been quite protective of his turf via barking lately (more so than before), but interestingly only against dogs - people he just quietly gives the evil eye. Even more interesting, when I take him out to visit the supposed intruding dogs, he immediately goes into play mode, so all the bluster and barking seems more about making a scene than actual concern on his part. We're still trying to figure out what he's thinking, if he's being tough or just trying to get outside to make friends. And this weekend was a milestone for him – his first swimming lesson! We (the lab included) have been to the river and lakes on numerous occasions, but the most he was willing to venture into the water was up to his ankles. Well, on Saturday we went on a high-adventure fishing trip to the Potomac River and he had little choice but to learn. After much coaxing on my part and complaining on his, he jumped in and started paddling away. A few early misfires aside, he took right off and even out-paced the lab. And most surprising of all? After our day was over, he enjoyed the swimming and frolicking so much I could barely get him out of the river to go home! Here are some pics from his adventure, and well as him standing on my 6'2" father. He's getting bigger every day! Marney at 2 years old. (Sally x Marky 2008) Evidently she has a criminal record as a TV remote destroyer and sock thief. since she loves to lay on them. She loves remotes and cordless phones. towels or a box of tissues, their shredded in a matter of seconds. Did I mention how incredibly sweet and loveable she can be? NOTE: When I first read this update I was stunned and then cracked up laughing. This is like living with Count. The other day Count stole one of Albert's shoes and ran out of the house with it - my husband in hot pursuit barefooted. Count was so happy with himself we couldn't help but howl in laughter! See video below of Marney! Rainie (Duke x Sally) playing with a friend! Riley - a Hilda x Beau 2010 puppy! His owner, Anne, adores him! 20.2lbs and currently is hanging out in the doorway, his favorite place to watch everyone.. Yogi playing in the snow! I've been thinking about you, wanted to send pictures and a very sincere thank you! Elwood is absolutely wonderful. He couldn't be any closer to the breed standard. He is just like everything I read when studying up and choosing Anatolian. The only difference I have found is that he is not difficult to train, as some of the literature describes due to their intelligence! Sometimes I feel like he is training me! (he was politely shaking before I even knew how to teach him to) The trainer met with him at 6 months, he said he had never seen a calmer more attentive dog at that age. This trainer trains bomb sniffing dogs for state agencies as well as assistance dogs for individuals, so he has seen many dogs! After one time of him telling Elwood to lay down, El has done it ever since without fail! My whole family loves him. He is wonderful with my young nieces. He has even won over my stepfather who, prior to Elwood, did not like dogs in the house. Elwood sleeps on my stepdads side of the bed in the floor, and has since he was a puppy. My mom and stepdad 'babysit' every third day when I am at the fire station. To sum up, I am so very thankful to you for breeding nothing but the best of Anatolians! There are certain shows Marney sings along with and also "Flow" on the Progressive commercials. Too cute.

Time for what is becoming a regular look at these major US indexes* as they grind along in their potential bounce patterns through the ups and downs of the inflammatory economic and geopolitical news of the day. SPX gapped down, popped to fill the gap and faded. Not a stellar showing today by this pig. Let's see how it does at the EMA 50. Resistance at 2675 remains key to a bounce. NDX faded from resistance and is testing its EMA 50 as well. Both are still candidates to bounce. Losing the EMA 50s would be the first warning against that. Thus ends our daily micro-management that I don't really even care much about because I remain heavy cash and balanced long (incl. NDX/QQQ) and short some ugly looking sectors. * Likely lasting only as long as the patterns either break out or break down.

By the time she was 11, Hayley Matthews was captaining her boys school team; by the time she was 12, she had made her debut for the Barbados senior women's team. Faced with a choice between track and field and cricket - she won a gold medal for javelin at the 2015 CARIFTA Games - Matthews, fortunately for West Indies, chose cricket, and subsequently made her international debut in September 2014 in a Twenty20 against New Zealand. Her ODI debut, against Australia, swiftly followed, and Matthews impressed right from the outset, making 55 in the first game and a total of 241 runs - the highest for West Indies - in the four-match series. Her offbreaks also proved effective: her first international wicket, in the first T20I of the tour of Australia, was Meg Lanning, and she went on to take 3 for 26 in that game. Matthews was the highest wicket-taker from either side in both the ODIs and T20Is during West Indies' 2015 tour of Sri Lanka. She was a surprise selection in the inaugural Women's Big Bash League, sought after by Hobart Hurricanes as one of their overseas players; her standout performance in the competition was a 51-ball 77 against Melbourne Stars, but more importantly, she worked with coach Julia Price and gained invaluable experience against international opponents. It was an undertaking that was to serve her well in the 2016 Women's World T20, where she would make her name. Matthews made her most telling performance in the final, where West Indies were up against three-time champions Australia. Having had her 18th birthday in the middle of the tournament, Matthews took on the Australian bowlers with the audacity of youth, hitting 66 off 45 balls to help her team chase down 149 and win their first world title.

Media Release by Min Kader Asmal on 4 October 2001 Tags: CAPS CAPS curriculum Source : Tuisonderwys Mailing List CHRISTIAN HOME SCHOOLERS' CAMPAIGN AND THE REVISED NATIONAL CURRICULUM STATEMENT Professor Kader Asmal, MP Prof Linda Chisholm, Chair of Ministerial Project Committee to Streamline and Strengthen Curriculum 2005 A campaign is being mounted against the Revised National Curriculum Statement. In letters to the press, interventions in radio talk shows and discussions on the Internet, the National Curriculum Statement is presented as an attack on the constitution and a totalitarian imposition of a Marxist-inspired form of indoctrination. This bizarre campaign requires some comment. It emanates from the Pestalozzi Trust: Legal Defence Fund for Home Schooling and requires knowing who the Pestalozzi Trust is and what its main aims and goals are. The Pretoria-based Pestalozzi Trust Home Schooling movement was founded in 1998. It is supported by the Home School Legal Defence Association in the USA and has links with a range of international fundamentalist Christian groupings (http://www.pestalozzi.org). The main criticisms of the Revised National Curriculum Statement center on the involvement of the state in education and interfaith religious education. The Social Sciences and Life Orientation Learning Area Statements come under particularly sharp attack. The Life Orientation Learning Area Statement requires learners to learn about and compare different religions and worldviews in order to promote understanding of society and its different communities. This the Home Schoolers find objectionable. Why? What do they want instead? The South African Home Schoolers promote religious rather than secular education. They want schooling to take place at home rather than in state-provided schools. They also promote the use of 'the Theocentric Christian Education System'. In this system, 'the primary purpose of education is to get to know God and His creation, so that we can better serve him. This is in sharp contrast to the humanistic view of education, which is to use education as a tool for social engineering.' (http://www.grobler.co.za) In this view, learning about and understanding differences and similarities between religions is the worst abomination. The Home School curriculum is guided by the goals of the US-based Home School Legal Defense Association. Home schooling is the vehicle through which families will be able 'to teach what really matters: knowing Jesus as their Saviour and obeying Him as Lord?. Home schooling on the foundation of the Word of God will bring blessings to the nations around the world.' (http://www.kansashomeschool.org) The Constitution of South Africa stands for the separation of Church and State. It also stands for the right to education to be guaranteed by the state. Home Schoolers argue against both. They want a theocratic education system based in Christian education regardless of the separation of Church and State and regardless of the reality of religious and cultural diversity in the country and the rights of all religious communities in it. They cannot abide learning about the religious beliefs and practices of those who do not share their own. As such, their aims and goals are unconstitutional. Little wonder that their views are those of a minority. They are not shared by the major religious organisations and leaders in the country who have been part and parcel of formulating the approach taken to the education of religion in our schools. The substance of their critique is as perverse as naming themselves the Pestalozzi Trust. Pestalozzi promoted child-centred popular education. He was a forerunner of basic general education for the poor before, during and after the French Revolution. For Pestalozzi, education was a natural right rather than a religious necessity. It was aimed at serving the ends of social reform, rather than narrow minority interests. His name fits badly on an organisation that stands for the opposite of what he promoted. The perversity of the critique is found in a strange inversion of the truth. The curriculum is accused of being 'an assault on the Constitution' when in fact the aims and goals that are promoted by Home Schoolers are unconstitutional. The curriculum is accused of promising freedom but eradicating alternative choices, of promoting critical thinking but imposing a 'philosophical straitjacket on thought,' of indoctrination through the specification of outcomes for education. When we consider what the Home Schoolers want we might well question who wishes to eradicate choice, who wishes to impose a straightjacket and who wishes to eliminate critical thinking. We would say the Home Schoolers. The curriculum is criticized for being value-based, for promoting human rights and cultural diversity: these broad, humane values all amount to 'imposition' of 'Asmal's values' on the Home Schoolers. It is unconstitutional and not possible for the state to relinquish responsibility for education. The state has a constitutional obligation to ensure the right of all to education, to promote liberty, equality, dignity and respect for all through its schools and, as such, to promote the broadest understanding and knowledge of all religions in our society and the world. Home Schoolers should not attempt to impose their loony, paranoid and perverse ideas on the nation.

I tried my best to search this forum and it seems no-one encountered this problem before, which is a little bit surprising. However, this is how it is. As an interpreter, I often switch between two scripts, Latin and Cyrillic; as I normally write in standard British English, I want my default setting be English (UK). And so it is, when I open a new ODT document. When I start typing in a new document, I can switch to Cyrillic and then, when I change the keyboard back to English, it's not English (UK) anymore, it's English (USA). And there's nothing I can do about it. Each time I go back to the default language settings menu, there is English (UK) - with the box "for the current document only" ticked. I remove the tick each time, and each time it is back. The things are worse if I open an MS Word document in Apache - it's never English (UK), however hard I try. First it has [None] at the bottom, and if I change it to English (UK) it will switch to English (USA) without asking me. The same happens if I have a Word document open in Apache and then a new document, either a Word or ODT - it will not stay English (UK) for long. Will be terribly grateful for any suggestions. Last edited by Dmitri on Thu Nov 30, 2017 1:53 pm, edited 1 time in total. As to your problem, the first thing I would suggest that you consider is your actual location. This is used by Windows to generate your Locale settings. In general, if you are in the US, Windows will generate a US locale and use that information by default. I'm going to suggest that you check the settings at Tools -> Options -> Language settings. Following your advice, changed the Locale to English (UK). It didn't help. 1) The user interface language (1st language setting) is for the GUI and the help files. 2) The locale setting (2nd language) is for numbers only. By default it uses the same locale as the operating system. The locale controls the date formats, the names of months and weekdays and if 1.234 is interpreted as one thousand two hundred and thirty four or one point two three four. OpenOffice Writer, Calc and Base support hundreds of different numeric systems. This locale setting is the one that is used by default in all kinds of table cells, fields and form controls. The "decimal separator key" refers to the decimal key the number keypad only. The decimal key should always(?) type the decimal separator (comma or point) according to the locale setting. 3a) If "current document only" is OFF and you start a blank new document that is not derived from any prepared template, the new, blank document starts with the specified language in all paragraph styles and character styles. This does not affect any existing document nor template. 3b) If "current document only" is ON and you confirm the dialog with [OK], the current document's paragtraph styles and character styles are changed together with all hard formattings. This does not affect new documents. Dmitri wrote: ... when I change the keyboard back to English, it's not English (UK) anymore, it's English (USA). And there's nothing I can do about it.

I set my default Windows language as English UK and it worked! Thank you! I thank everyone who sent their replies and tried to be helpful. ...However, I'm not quite completely satisfied. The MS Word will follow your orders without looking over the shoulder to the Windows default settings. If you set the document language you need, it will be the document language and no second thoughts. What I feel kind of annoyed about is that the Apache OpenOffice seems to have a similar feature which doesn't seem to work. I work inside the text programme, I want the setting of the text programme be as I want them to be, not what the programme thinks should be my choice. See my point? I may be missing the issue but why not have either two templates one Cyrillic and one Latin or else if you are mixing Cyrillic and Latin texts in the same document ? Correct. The text is flagged as being in US English in the file irrespective of what application you use to open it - it will be US English in AOO and in Word. NB See [Tutorial] Differences between Writer and MS Word files for why you should always work in and save files as .odt. John_Ha, the problem is the Windows setting. I tried to switch the language both ways, through the Format and the Tools menu; no matter what I do it will switch back to the default Windows language. At the moment it is English (UK) and it helps a little, but, as I'm explaining above, it's not quite the thing, as I might want to type a text in American spelling, or in Polish or German - and it will /switch anyway as the Windows commands. I don't quite like it, that AOO dictates what language should there be in the text. AOO seems quite ok with the customised language settings until I switch languages, accidentally as may be. jrkrideau, I can type Cyrillic in an English document, template or no template, quite accidentally, and then this starts. I still think this is some AOO bug that might not have been considered a bug until now. I'm a bit surprised that I'm the first one to speak about it here. Very strange indeed. It may be a bug but I am inclined to either blame Windows (of course) or wonder if it is something specific to your set-up. Is this only when you switch alphabets, that is, where you describing switching from German > Cyrillic > English or German > English. I am not sure how to read your description of language switching. I have, very, very occasionally, changed languages from Canadian English to Russian and back to Canadian English and quite often switched from Canadian English to Canadian French and back with no problem but I am running Linux. jrkrideau, thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I don't remember how it was when I used Ubuntu - I had to skip it because it was terribly slow on the computer I had then. At the moment I'm using Windows only because my job requires it; I've got to have MS Office with all its newest features. As far as I remember, each time I ran AOO on Windows (and I have been doing it for about 10 years now) I encountered this problem: switching the keyboard from Russian to English made the language of the document as it was (I understand it now) in the Windows setting, not as I wanted it to be in the OO settings. So, just to make it absolutely clear: supposing I opened a new document in OO with the English (UK) as the default language in the OO; and it shows English (UK) at the bottom. I start typing (and it keeps being English (UK) all the time), then I may need to type a bit in Russian - and when I switch back to Latin the language of the document becomes English (USA) however hard I try to persuade it to be reasonable. Switching back to Latin in OO on Windows means switching to the Windows default language. I already have experimented: at the moment it is English (UK) on my Windows, and OO will switch to English (UK) even if I want it to be some other. Hope that clarifies the situation. That makes it very clear. It is what I thought but I was not sure. How are you changing languages? I always set up character and paragraph Styles for each language that I am using. I don't remember if I ever used Russian with OpenOffice back in the bad old days when I was running Windows but I commonly switched from English to French to English with no problem. You might want to have a look at LibreOffice. jrkrideau, I think you're right. Perhaps how I switch lettering is the reason why. You see, in Windows you've got to switch the Windows-run keyboard; it won't help if you just switch Character Styles in the OO menu. I guess this is it that plays the dirty trick. Thanks for pointing at LibreOffice; I need to try that one. Dmitri wrote: jrkrideau, I think you're right. Perhaps how I switch lettering is the reason why.

When you change the input language setting on the Windows Taskbar, you're actually switching the language/keyboard combo, not just the keyboard. You can set up any keyboard for use with any language. I suspect that you were selecting an English (US)/UK keyboard combo instead of an English (UK)/UK keyboard combo when the language was "switching by itself". I set up English (US), English (UK) and Russian in Windows 10 and tried to duplicate the problem. The only time when the language switched to English (US) after typing Russian was when I selected an English (US) combo instead of an English (UK) combo. One needs to change keyboards in Linux as well though it is just an option on the toolbar. I just checked ano currently I have four keyboard layouts installed but changing keyboards has no effect on language. I can type using a Russian keyboard layout but, in my case, LO still treats the text as Canadian English until I change the Style. jrkrideau wrote: One needs to change keyboards in Linux as well though it is just an option on the toolbar.

There isn't a keyboard layout setting in Windows like there is in Linux. Instead, Windows has an input language setting which Linux doesn't have. Each input language has a default keyboard layout associated with it and the user can add more keyboard layouts for each input language. To change the language, the user selects an option that includes both the language and the keyboard layout. There is no independent keyboard layout option that doesn't include a language. I knew there were reasons I moved to Linux. Yes Bill, that's what I meant.

Soybean rust monitoring By Carolyn King Top Crop Manager has been keeping an eye on soybean rust ever since the pathogen's spores first blew into Ontario in 2007. Those spores were captured at monitoring sites in one of the largest crop disease monitoring efforts in North America to date. This soybean rust monitoring system has helped researchers, crop advisors and growers to get a better handle on the disease. So far, soybean rust has not caused problems in Canada, in part because monitoring has contributed to more effective control measures in the United States. On top of that, the monitoring program has laid the foundation for developing a Canadian system that could monitor the full range of airborne fungal spores and bacteria, as an early warning system for diverse pathogen concerns. "When soybean rust was first detected in late 2004 in the southern U.S., it was really of great concern," Sarah Hambleton of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) in Ottawa says. She explains the pathogen was already known to be both invasive and aggressive. Since its discovery in Japan in the early 1900s, the pathogen had spread to other Asian countries and then to Australia, Africa and South America, and had shown its ability to cause devastating yield losses when conditions favour the disease. "Also, we understood a lot about how rusts can be disseminated; the spores can be carried in air currents over very long distances and remain viable. And we knew soybean rust was well established in South America. So we knew there was a potential for the pathogen to come to North America and cause a lot of yield loss if the environmental conditions were suitable." When soybean rust was found in the U.S. in 2004, plant pathologist Albert Tenuta with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) was ready. In OMAFRA's regular weekly scouting to monitor for crop diseases, watching for soybean rust became a high priority, and Tenuta started providing soybean rust information and updates to growers. In addition, he asked Hambleton if she wanted to get involved in doing molecular diagnostic testing for the pathogen. So, in a collaborative effort with support from the Grain Farmers of Ontario, OMAFRA, AAFC's Pest Management Centre and others, Hambleton set up automated equipment to collect air and rain samples at OMAFRA scouting sites and other locations. On a weekly basis, the crop scouts or collaborators on site collected the samples and sent them to Hambleton's lab. Such samples contain airborne organisms, so her lab extracted the DNA from the samples and used a very specific real-time PCR test to quickly determine if soybean rust spores were arriving at the monitoring sites. She says, "In 2006, we ran trials with the collectors, and in 2007 we were operating." The Canadian monitoring effort came together with efforts in the U.S. and Mexico to form the North American Soybean Rust Monitoring Network. This international initiative involves field scouting, spore trapping, DNA-based screening, predictive modelling and extension to soybean growers. The field scouting includes sentinel plots (soybean plots planted earlier than the local commercial soybean fields), commercial fields and patches of kudzu (an invasive legume that can be a winter host for the pathogen in areas with very mild winters). The network's public website (sbr.ipmpipe.org) provides near real-time maps of the monitoring results, as well as information about managing the disease. In Canada, the monitoring work involved nine sites in Ontario, including one on the roof of the University of Toronto's Earth Sciences Centre, two in Quebec with support from the Quebec Ministry of Agriculture, and one each in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, sited at AAFC research stations. Fundamental to the success of the program was the weekly commitment for many years by all collaborators to oversee the sites and collect samples. "The first time we detected the DNA of the soybean rust spores was in July 2007," she notes. "Then in October, the team in southwestern Ontario found a few diseased soybean leaves. At that time of year the crop is quite senescent [so the disease did not affect soybean yields]. But it demonstrated to us that the disease could happen here." As it turned out, that 2007 detection has been the only time that rust-infected soybean plants have been found in Canada so far, although the spores were detected over the next few years mostly at the Ontario sites. "In 2007 and 2008, we had many positive detections of the pathogen's DNA in the air and rain samples. Then the number of detections started to decline. We did not have any positive detections in 2011, 2012 and 2013, so we decided to stop the molecular side of this program," Hambleton says. "However, OMAFRA's regular field scouting continues, and I maintain readiness here – we would be able to use our specific assays to test and identify any suspicious samples that might be found in the field." Continental soybean rust control Several things have helped limit the spread of soybean rust in North America, including important weather-related factors, registration of additional fungicide products, and the monitoring program. The monitoring and modelling work has enabled researchers and specialists to get a much greater understanding of the disease, its yield impacts and its spread under North American conditions. The web-based reporting of monitoring results has provided vital information for extension agents, crop consultants and growers. Hambleton notes, "The website allows people to check and see which areas have been scouted and whether the disease was there." That information is key for timely fungicide applications – if growers wait to spray until they see the disease in their own fields, then the fungicide application may not be as effective. So the monitoring results have allowed U.S. soybean growers to better control soybean rust. And that, in turn, has helped limit the spore load carried northward toward Canada. "The disease is established in the southern U.S. and they have [infected] fields every year, but the soybean growers are aware of the disease, and they know how to find it and control it," she explains. Just as important, when the monitoring results show that an area is currently free of the disease, then the local growers can avoid unnecessary spraying, which reduces their input costs and helps the environment. Hambleton adds, "In the early days when everybody in Ontario was very concerned about soybean rust, we were able to say, 'We're monitoring and we don't find it on the ground so you don't need to be concerned right now about the threat from this disease.'" She notes that, for the pathogen to cause problems in Canadian soybean crops, we now know that several conditions have to happen at the same time: a heavy spore load in the southern U.S.; big storms that can carry viable spores into Canada; Canadian weather conditions favouring the pathogen's germination, infection and growth; and Canadian soybean crops in the reproductive stages. Those factors came together in 2007, except the infection occurred very late in Ontario's growing season. Changing weather patterns could increase the risk of the disease, but the disease would impact Canadian soybean yields only if all the other factors were also present. From monitoring one, to monitoring many The monitoring work has also sparked an initiative by a team of Canadian researchers, led by AAFC's André Lévesque, to develop a system that uses the same type of spore trapping equipment and DNA-based screening for much, much broader monitoring of airborne microbes. "I work closely with André Lévesque, and we really feel there is a lot of value to this approach," Hambleton says. "We think we can use DNA extracts from the air and rain samples to look for not just one disease but all the organisms that we can detect if we have the molecular markers to do that. And we are constantly building our databases for reference DNA sequences of different organisms, especially those of importance to agriculture. So I think there is a huge potential." This approach would be especially valuable for early warnings of airborne fungi and bacteria that are spreading into new regions. A pilot project on this approach was completed in 2013. Now, Hambleton is a collaborator on a new project that will be using this approach to monitor for wheat rusts and several other airborne diseases in Alberta. "So we will be starting up again, and we're looking for partners to do more of this kind of work." Weekly rain and air samples collected by active and passive collectors were screened for soybean rust DNA. Top Crop Manager has been keeping an eye on soybean rust ever since the pathogen's spores first blew into Ontario in 2007.

I attended one of Sarah Thirlwell's mixed recycled media demonstrations and was taken in by the stunning effects that could be obtained by integrating coloured Perspex (Plexiglas) into woodturning. It seemed straightforward but she was a bit cagey about the choice of glues. Perspex is a hard plastic material - acrylic - that is supplied in flat sheets. It cuts well on a circular saw and bandsaw, but does not plane. Negative-rake scrapers and tungsten-tipped tools work well. The equipment used for the project includes a circular saw, bandsaw and of course a lathe, as well as the turning tools pictured opposite. As its name suggests, scrapers scrape the wood rather than cut it and generally leave a poorer surface finish on the wood than cutting tools. Unlike cutting tools, do not use the bevel rubbing technique with a scraper. In fact the 'bevel' is really a clearance rake and allows the cutting edge to come to a sharper edge. Sharpen or hone it often and take very light cuts with a scraper. You should get shavings; if you are only getting dust, resharpen it. Scrapers come in all shapes and sizes - square edge, round nosed, French curve, box scrapers and hardwood scrapers. The picture shows a 1/2 inch round nosed scraper. Dennis Keeling has been turning for nearly 15 years, first as an amateur, and now as a professional turner. He is one of the leading exponents of segmented turning in the UK and is on the Register of Professional Turners (RPT). He has produced a DVD on segmented turning and undertakes demonstrations on segmented turning techniques both in the UK and USA.

Golden State Warriors History Like most sports franchises, the Golden State Warriors franchise was actually created in the east and started its days in the city of Philadelphia. They won the BAA, which later became the NBA, championship in their inaugural season. After the shift to the newly formed NBA, the Philadelphia Warriors would win a second championship in 1956 thanks to the play of future Hall of Fame players like Paul Arizin and Michael Bryson. They also got the rights to Wilt Chamberlain, who revolutionized the way basketball was played. Before the 1962 season, the team was bought by Franklin Meiulu and the squad was up-rooted and moved to San Francisco. While in San Francisco, the Warriors traded the rights to Wilt Chamberlain and sank back down the standings after star player Rick Barry left for the ABA. They would only play in San Francisco until 1971, when the team moved to Oakland and changing its name to the more state-friendly Golden State Warriors. There next and last championship for the Golden State Warriors came in 1975 in one of the biggest upsets in NBA history. From 1971 to 1978, the Warriors enjoyed their best years only failing to make the playoffs one year. However, the championship year of 1975 will always be regarded as the pinnacle year until this team wins again. This is because the Warriors downed the heavily favored Washington Bullets in four games. 2020 Golden State Warriors Tickets Don't miss the Golden State Warriors while they play in some of the best events of the year!

Forgotten Function: The Decline of the Metal Phone Image Credit: P C via Pexels Anyone that knows me, knows that I have a little bit of a phone buying problem. Okay, maybe it's more than a little bit. In the nearly 20 years of owning phones I have had over 100 phones. Having used so many devices, there are always a few that stick out in my memory. When I think of phones that I had an extreme attachment to there are a couple of models that always come to mind: the HTC One M8 and Apple iPhone 6 Plus. And when I think about what I loved about those phones is that they were industrial phones that were powerful in their time and featured designs that were minimal and functional. A quality that I feel is sometimes missed in today's smartphone landscape. These two phones had one thing in common in a sea of other differences: they both featured an all aluminum design around the sides and the back. To me, this is the most functional design choice for a smartphone that was ever devised. It is more durable than the plastic of the past and the glass of the present. It is also a happy medium of design aesthetic between plastic and glass. Metal is more visually appealing than plastic, but didn't allow for all of the color tricks that we see on glass phones such as Samsung's Aura Glow color on their Note 10 series. Yet despite these advantages, the all metal phone has largely disappeared from phone manufacturers' portfolios.The reason for this has been shown to be a mix of limitations and forced advancement. Image Credit: Alexas Fotos via Pexels The Transition from Plastic to Metal to Glass The evolution of smartphone design has always been something that is in hyper-drive especially at the top end. In the beginning all phones were made from plastic and generally featured removable back plates to be able to easily access the battery and SIM card slots. This was the prime example of design meeting functionality and purpose. Most of these designs did not feel exactly premium or luxurious, but rather focused on the usability aesthetic. And for most people that was great, as a focus on durability was the prime focus of these early smartphones. As time went on, the evolution of plastic also changed on smartphones. The concept of the polycarbonate design became a very popular trend. This was seen on phones such as the HTC One X and Nokia Lumia 900 series of phones. This added more to the durability argument, with better heat conduction and better impact resistance. In fact, many smartphone enthusiasts miss this material in phones as it provided for an excellent look but also had great durability. The downside of this of course was that access to the internals was no longer possible. In the evolution of the plastic phone to the modern day, an unforeseen circumstance has occurred. As companies have gone to glass in the flagship space, the plastics used on midrange and entry level phones have gone the way of mimicking the glass feel to make the device feel more luxurious. An example of this is the Samsung Galaxy A50 from last year that was treated to give a similar aesthetic in design to the higher end Galaxy S and Note series from Samsung. Instead of potentially bringing back the polycarbonate look, which would create a more appealing aesthetic in my opinion. This is the smoke and mirrors effect of smartphone design, where a lower priced phone has to look like a more expensive device to appeal to the budget buyer. Once the polycarbonate phase had run its course, metal was the next material to be introduced. Metal offered a more luxurious in hand feel in addition to the tradition of durability that was established by early plastic and polycarbonate phones. The main issue with metal was that it required exposed antenna lines (think iPhone 6) since metal has some issues transmitting radio signals. The real appeal of metal from a design perspective, was the industrial elegance that exuded a sense of durability and usability. These phones felt like they could handle the rigors of everyday life and at the same time be able to exude a beauty aesthetic that was pleasing to the eye. But in the neverending quest for the next great design, the market had to move forward. With the proliferation of wireless charging technology as an alternate way of powering up our devices, a move was going to be made as metal phones cannot support this feature, and that material was glass. The introduction of glass on the rear of phones has also introduced a design of gradient colors for differentiation purposes. We've seen this from most manufacturers and these colors seem to be the way that designs of phones are highlighted in the modern era. Glass has also lent itself to a whole other realm of design reasoning however. Due to the fragility and rigidity of glass, the avenue for more accessories to be sold has been incorporated in smartphone design. Image Credit: Daniel Korpai via Unsplash Wireless Charging, Cases, and Scratches I am one of those crazy people that uses a phone without a case. Quite often I am called insane by friends and family for not protecting my phone. My belief is that a lot of time goes into the design of the phone and like it or not, part of the buying decision is based on aesthetics. The design and visual appeal of a phone is very often an important factor in buying a phone. A lot of this design work and appeal is then negated when 90% of the population slaps a cheap plastic case on their phones. This modern evolution of smartphone design is in many ways tailored for the case buying public as a result. Phones are expensive now, so wanting to protect the investment so to speak is a logical way of thinking. Coupled with the fact that surface scratches are very common with glass backs and the added need for cases on these phones makes more sense. On top of that, the market for wireless charging has been booming in the last few years. With more charging accessories than ever, and even wireless charging built into cars and furniture it is clear that glass backed phones are here to stay. It would appear however, that under the pretense of a more elegant and beautiful design the phasing out of metal backed phones is centered around the building of accessory sales and ecosystem development. This development has been of the utmost importance to the major players in the smartphone space and has also allowed companies like Belkin, Mophie, and Otterbox to become household names. Selling a phone has become much more layered than merely buying hardware. Creating a lineup around wearables, accessories, and services all factor into the overall way that phones are marketed to us now and will continue to be marketed in the future. With this development, a metal phone never stood a chance. Image Credit: Pixabay via Pexels Innovation for the Sake of Innovation At a certain point, design advances have started to feel like change for changes sake. A creation of a need for a shift in general direction that is an all or nothing approach. Once the industry has deemed that a design is dated, it cannot be used and the show must go on. This appears to have happened to metal phones and intentional industrial design as a whole when it comes to smartphones. There was always something so tactile and usable about a phone like the HTC One M8, that was a kind of understated elegance that exuded power. Now the phones have become fancier with their glass backs with all sorts of iridescent color finishes that are scratch and fingerprint magnets. In many ways these just do not feel as purposeful or refined. The real dilemma I find with this is that the polycarbonate and metal phone seem to have been lost in the shuffle during this race for new color invention. Every company seems focused on offering the most beautiful glass finish and treatment, only to have all of that work voided by a black Otterbox Commuter case. It has reached a point in the smartphone life cycle where there has been so much work done to have the design speak for itself, but the speaking has turned into a yell, that the consumer has pressed the mute button to with a hard plastic shell. There is a certain uniformity in the current landscape, where there is a feeling that all devices look exactly the same. There has never been a better time for there to be more options in the way of materials. It really doesn't need to stop with polycarbonate and metal, new materials like ceramic, kevlaar, etc. would lead to an aesthetic that would be more exciting. The unfortunate reality though is that any movement forward in materials used in smartphones will have to adhere to the needs of wireless charging and other accessories that have become standard issue on smartphones. This severely limits the flexibility of design teams at all these companies. It can be argued that the proliferation of wireless charging and accessory sales effectively was a death sentence to a variety of materials to be used in newer smartphones. The irony of this is that whenever you browse Reddit forums or comments sections on Android blogs, there will often be a comment saying how having an updated modern version of the HTC One M8, Nexus 6P, or even LG G2. There is a reason for this, these designs were classic and functional where the modern smartphone designs are more flashy and fragile. There is nothing wrong with eye candy, but the appeal rings hollow when the look is what every single device that is manufactured strives for. They say that all good things must come to an end. I will always view the era of all aluminum smartphones, the golden era of smartphone design. It is just an unfortunate consequence that it was derailed by the need to change and add features for the sake of adding features for accessory sales.

Anode rays (or Canal rays) are beams of positive ions that were observed in experiments by the German scientist, Eugen Goldstein, in 1886. Later work on anode rays by Wilhelm Wien and J. J. Thomson led to the development of mass spectrometry. Goldstein used a gas discharge tube which had a perforated cathode. A "ray" is produced in the holes (canals) in the cathode and travels in a direction opposite to the "cathode rays," which are streams of electrons. Goldstein called these positive rays "Kanalstrahlen" - canal rays because it looks like they are passing through a canal. In 1907 a study of how this "ray" was deflected in a magnetic field, revealed that the particles making up the ray were not all the same mass. The lightest ones, formed when there was some hydrogen gas in the tube, were calculated to be about 1837 times as massive as an electron. They were protons. ↑ Grayson, Michael A. (2002).

Archívum katalógus How to engage gay people in your work Cím How to engage gay people in your work Közlemény típusa Jelentés Intézmény Stonewall Szerző Miles, N Intézményi szerzők Stonewall, Absztrakt Research clearly demonstrates that lesbian, gay and bisexual people want to be treated with dignity and respect across Britain's public services. However, even in the second decade of the twenty-first century, many organisations have not begun to address the specific requirements of gay people in the services they deliver. As a result, many of Britain's 3.7 million gay people still expect inappropriate services from public bodies and remain less likely to engage with civil society – for example, by seeking to become school governors or local councillors. New provisions in the Equality Act 2010, which Stonewall campaigned hard for, place a groundbreaking responsibility on public bodies to demonstrate how they have enabled lesbian, gay and bisexual people to engage with the development and delivery of such services. Local citizens are now encouraged, rightly, to hold public bodies to account in ensuring that their services better reflect and respond to the lived experiences of those who pay for them. This guide provides practical advice on how to engage lesbian, gay and bisexual people in decision-making about local services in costeffective and appropriate ways. It's based on in-depth research both with organisations that have already begun to involve local people in their work and with service-users themselves. It is informed throughout by our firm view that the most efficient public services are those which best understand the needs of the people they serve.

Le Ministère des Sports et des Loisirs de la République d'Afrique du Sud a été fondé en tant que département des sports et des loisirs en 1966. Intégré au Ministère de l'éducation nationale en 1980, il est de nouveau un département ministériel depuis 1993 et s'est adjoint avec celui des arts et de la culture en 2019 dans le 2nd gouvernement Ramaphosa. Liste des ministres des sports et des loisirs Historique Le Département des sports et des loisirs est la dernière des administrations ministérielles fondées sous le gouvernement d'Hendrik Verwoerd. Il résulte d'un intense lobbying des professionnels des sports et loisirs mais aussi de travailleurs sociaux réunis au sein de la SA Association for Physical Education and Recreation. En 1965, lors de son congrès à Bloemfontein, ils requièrent du gouvernement sud-africain la constitution d'un département ministériel consacré au sport et aux loisirs. Cette demande soutenue par la SA Federation for Youth and Sport obtint satisfaction et le , la gazette du gouvernement annonça la constitution d'un département chargé de développer l'esprit et le corps pour une nation en bonne santé par le biais d'activités sportives et récréatives. Le nouveau ministère fut confié à Frank Waring, déjà ministre de la forêt et du tourisme et ancien international de l'équipe national de rugby en 1931 et 1932. Le ministère fut installé au premier étage du Old Transport house, à Fountain Lane, Pretoria. Des administrations déconcentrées furent progressivement établies dans les principales villes du pays (Johannesburg, Le Cap, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein, Durban, East London, Oudtshoorn, Potchefstroom et Kimberley). Durant les premières années, le Ministère développe les infrastructures, les rencontres sportives, les concours sportifs sous son patronage et oriente les financements. En 1976, le pays est l'hôte de plusieurs compétitions internationales alors que l'Afrique du Sud commence à être isoler sur le plan sportif à cause de sa politique d'apartheid. Piet Koornhof, alors le ministre en titre, libéralise la rigide réglementation raciale en autorisant plusieurs rencontres sportives entre équipes de races différentes (équipe blanche contre équipe métis, équipe noire contre équipe indienne ...). Sous le ministère de Frederik de Klerk, alors que le pays est sérieusement vilipendé aux Nations unies, le principe de mettre en place des équipes non raciales est évoqué. Il est notamment décidé que tout sportif, quelle que soit sa race, peut être qualifié dans une équipe nationale. En 1980, dans un processus de rationalisation, le ministère des sports est supprimé et le département des sports intégré au sein du Ministère de l'éducation nationale, en tant que sous-division de l'Éducation Nationale, sous la direction de Gerrit Viljoen. Le département des sports retrouve un responsable ministériel en 1993 en la personne d'Abe Williams, un ancien responsable adjoint de l'équipe nationale de rugby lors de la tournée des Springboks en Nouvelle-Zélande en 1981. Après l'arrivée du Congrès national africain au pouvoir en 1994, Steve Tshwete reprend le portefeuille ministériel des sports et réorganise les structures internes. Sous son patronage, l'accent est mis sur la place des femmes dans le sport, la jeunesse, la transformation des anciennes équipes nationales Springboks en nouvelles équipes multiraciales sous l'emblème de la Protea, le développement du sport en zone rurale. En 1999, Ngconde Balfour succède à Tshwete puis en 2004, le nouveau ministre, Makhenkesi Stofile, se voit adjoindre un ministre-adjoint, Gert Oosthuizen. En 2006, le département des sports est amalgamé avec la S.A. Sports Commission. Après avoir été situé sur Schoeman street pendant plusieurs décennies, le département ministériel s'installe au Regent Building à l'intersection de Queen et Vermeulen street à Pretoria.

The Museum's African assortment originated with items from the Hanes household beginning within the Seventies, primarily historic material from the 19th and 20th centuries, including important gadgets from the Benin Kingdom such as the Altar to the Hand Later acquisitions expanded regional protection to incorporate other parts of sub-Saharan Africa with an eye fixed toward assembling works that demonstrated a selected cultural style, comparable to these of the Chokwe and Luba peoples of central Africa.

Expanding your mission beyond the bricks and mortar: Cooperstown, TeamWorks Media and La Vida Baseball May 1, 2018 in General by Charity Counts By Tab Bamford of TeamWorks Media The focus for many museums feels like a real estate agent's: location, location, location. Even in big cities like Chicago, there are often two key elements that come into play when trying to engage your core audiences: 1) How do we become a destination for visitors? 2) How do we better engage our local audiences? Those questions are tied to the notion that brick and mortar institutions represent the limits of the museum's relevance. But what about the larger, boundless conversations happening around your institution's mission and subject matter? Baseball as cultural touchstone Baseball often mirrors the larger political and social conversations going on in this country. A larger number of Latinos are now on Major League rosters and fans have followed them through the gates at stadiums. The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is one of the great sports museums. Its place in the game is recognizable beyond the playing field; when you say "Cooperstown" people immediately associate it with baseball even though many can't find it on a map of New York. In the last three years, the Hall inducted Pedro Martinez and Ivan Rodriguez and, this year, will welcome another, Vladimir Guerrero. Future years could see Mariano Rivera and Edgar Martinez voted in. All are Latino, hailing from the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Panama. When Martinez was inducted in 2015, 30,000 fans showed up from the Dominican Republic. This influx of largely Latino fans convinced the leadership at the Hall of Fame that they needed to have a larger voice in the cultural conversation. They needed to address both the historical impact of Latino players and the current players influencing the major and minor league rosters today. But how do you do that within a hard-to-reach town of less than 2,000 residents? La Vida Baseball: New stories for a growing audience The pre-2017 sports media landscape didn't include a foundational property that celebrated culture through the lens of baseball for English-first Latinos in the United States (and abroad). So in partnership with TeamWorks Media, the Hall of Fame created the digital media brand La Vida Baseball. The Hall of Fame didn't just join an existing conversation – they created their own. Knowing MLB, ESPN and others have game highlights covered, La Vida Baseball celebrates the great individuals and moments in the game. It's a lifestyle brand that covers culture, religion, family, food and the journey of players to the Major Leagues. Through La Vida Baseball, the Hall of Fame has been able to create a place for Latinos to share their stories, their way. The results? Over the first year, La Vida Baseball has engaged an average audience of more than 10 million per month across new, stand-alone social channels and a robust website. Every museum as a story to tell. There is an audience – beyond the walls of your physical museum – for your institution to engage larger audiences around your subject matter expertise and join the current conversation. TeamWorks Media is proud to be the Official Conference Storyteller for AMM 2018. Please drop by their booth (#404) to share your stories. You also have the opportunity to earn your official "STORYTELLER" t-shirt through a 10-minute "lightening" consult with members of the TeamWorks staff.

The project hopes to find the kind of science-supports-desire research that has been a home run for other industries, such as the wine business. "The first thing you think of when you think of red wine is, 'Oh, it's good for me,'" said Cathy Keefe, a U.S. Travel spokeswoman. Travel, like wine, is a fun activity with supposed health benefits, Keefe said, and that's what the industry would like people to remember when considering a vacation.. "One of the ideas behind the campaign is to get consumers to think differently about travel," she said. During the nationwide, multiyear effort, U.S. Travel intends to seek partners, such as AARP and academic institutions, to conduct research on various effects of travel. The success of the campaign may hinge on what sort of findings -- especially surprising ones -- the research generates. "You don't need to persuade me that I need a vacation," said Peter Yesawich, vice chairman of MMGY Global, a Kansas City, Mo.-based travel-marketing firm. "They'd have to pick the right metrics; they have to pick the right behaviors." For instance, telling people about his firm's research showing that a third of all leisure travelers say they have more romance while on vacation might clinch the deal, he said.

HomeNewsConsumer Reports looks at the use of Pesticides on Produce to Help... Consumer Reports looks at the use of Pesticides on Produce to Help Consumers Reduce Exposure Risk Guide for 48 Fruits and Vegetables from 14 Countries; Choosing Organic Always the Safest Choice but in Many Cases Conventional Can Be As Low Risk Yonkers, NY – Fresh produce is an important part of a healthy diet. A new study by Consumer Reports looks at the risks of pesticide residues for 48 fruits and vegetables from around the globe to come up with guidelines to help consumers reduce their exposure to these toxic chemicals. An accompanying 40-page report, "Pesticide Use in Produce," from Consumer Reports' Food Safety and Sustainability Center provides a closer look at the consequences of pesticide use for those who produce food, wildlife, and the environment. Related to the study are results from two recent surveys each of more than 1,000 people by Consumer Reports National Research Center. In the survey conducted in April 2014, 89 percent of Americans noted that protecting the environment from chemicals such as pesticides is critical when purchasing food. In a related survey from November 2014, 85 percent of Americans said they are concerned about pesticides exposure in food; and a third of respondents to this same survey believe there is a legal limit on the number of different pesticides in food. But there isn't a legal limit on the number of different pesticides allowed on food. Consumer Reports analyzed data from United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and found that a third of the produce the agency tested had residues from two or more pesticides. And while for the most part these levels fell within the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tolerance levels, these tolerance levels are calculated for individual pesticides. The effects of these pesticide combinations are untested and unknown notes Consumer Reports. The report by the Food Safety and Sustainability Center discusses the health effects from the use of pesticides that have been documented in farmworkers. "Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is important to a healthy diet," said Dr. Urvashi Rangan, Ph.D. Executive Director of Consumer Reports' Food Safety and Sustainability Center. "Choosing organic produce is always the best option and reducing pesticide use is critical to healthier produce production. For those who can't always afford organic, when it comes to reducing your pesticide exposure we have specific recommendations for conventional options that are just as low risk as organic." Consumer Reports' Findings To help consumers make better choices when shopping for produce, Consumer Reports has developed a guide based on its analysis of 12 years of data from the USDA's Pesticide Data Program that shows the relative risk of pesticide exposure from eating 48 conventional fruits and vegetables from 14 different countries. Consumer Reports placed each produce-country combination into one of five risk categories – from very low to very high. The risk assessment included the number of pesticide residues on each food, the frequency with which they were found, and the toxicity of the pesticides. Consumer Reports analysis is based on the risk to a 3 ½-year-old child estimated to weigh 35.2 pounds because children are especially vulnerable to the dietary risks from pesticides. Adults can use this relative risk information to make informed comparisons among produce-country combinations. Consumer Reports analysis showed that, universally, organic produce falls into the low- or very low-risk categories when it comes to pesticide exposure, so consumers should choose organic fruits and vegetables when possible. If organic produce is too pricey or not available, there are often low-risk conventional options equivalent to organic. Here are the fruits and vegetables consumers should always choose organic: Consumer Reports analysis found 23 very low- and low-risk conventional produce items that are okay to buy including: bananas, cherries, oranges, broccoli, lettuce, onions and more. The complete risk guide is available on ConsumerReports.org. The full article, "Eat the Peach, Not the Pesticide: A Shopper's Guide," is featured in the May 2015 issue of Consumer Reports and at ConsumerReports.org. The Risks of Pesticides Much of what is known about the health effects of pesticides comes from studies of farmworkers, who work with these chemicals regularly. Studies have linked long-term pesticide exposure in this group to increased risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease; prostate, ovarian, and other cancers; depression; and respiratory problems. Many agricultural chemicals are known or are suspected carcinogens or endocrine disruptors that can block or mimic the action of hormones. Farmworkers may be at greatest risk from pesticide exposure, but the health risks to children are also significant. Because a child's metabolism is different than an adult's, toxins can remain longer in a child's body, where they can do more damage. Pesticide exposure can affect children's development at many stages, starting in the womb. And their risk is concentrated because they eat more food relative to their body weight than adults. Even small amounts of pesticides may alter a child's brain chemistry during critical stages of development. Consumer Reports notes that while the risks of pesticides are real, the health benefits of fruits and vegetables are, too. When possible, it's best to choose organic or low-risk conventional produce. However, eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables – ideally five or more servings a day – is the primary goal, even if it's a type that falls into Consumer Reports' very high-risk category.

Guys, no jokes, things are happening in the DM. Should we just say that Tani and Laolu's love story started in the DM? Laolu stumbled upon her page, sent a direct message Tani totally ignored. But then somehow they managed to find each other and grew into loving each other and deciding to spend forever together. We are itching to tell the full story but then Tani and Laolu can tell us better, how it all began. Keep scrolling to read their love story and you want more to read, just click here. He slid into my DM which I ignored. A few months later someone in my church mentioned that a certain "brother" was interested in me. Apparently, he had been stalking me on social media and found out I was a member of my church. Luckily for him, he had a friend who connected him to a friend of a friend of a friend who connected him to my cousin! One day, I got a phone call from a random person introducing himself and telling me how he wanted to be my friend and I somehow figured that this must be the "brother". I was polite, made up my mind to "friend zone" him, laughed him off and moved on with my life. One year later we arranged to meet during my trip to the US. The rest, as they say, is history! As an "omoboy" looking for the bone of my bone (BOMB), I was seriously searching for a gorgeous queen I could grow with. One day, on IG I stumbled on her profile and just knew she was the one. I was hooked! Now the dilemma was how to close in on this correct parole. So I talked to a friend who knew someone who knew someone who knew someone who attended her church! (yes, you read right – Ponzi pyramid tinz! lol). To cut the long story short, I got her number and we connected. Fast-forward to a year later, I asked her out in Vegas during an elaborately planned dinner and she said she'll pray about it (Ela of the century). After all the praying, wooing and toasting, we are here today! Contact me for more details.

The popular aftermarket Android firmware is available for the OnePlus 5T, making it possible for power users and professionals to get the most out of their phones. OnePlus is typically regarded as one of the more responsive Android OEMs when it comes to providing security and software updates for phones, though some power users and professionals prefer the community-supported LineageOS distribution. The OnePlus 5T has official support for Android 9.0 Pie, though is also supported by LineageOS 16, giving users a choice between Android distributions. LineageOS also supports older devices from OnePlus and other Android device manufacturers for which official support has ended. Presently, the OnePlus 5T is the newest OnePlus device supported by LineageOS. Getting started with LineageOS takes relatively more technical skill than simply installing an app, though can be performed in under an hour for a first-time user, provided instructions are followed to the letter, and necessary files are downloaded before beginning. Additionally, the following instructions are only for the OnePlus 5T (A5010). While the same basic principles of installation are applicable in broad strokes across other phones and manufacturers, each phone is fundamentally a unique device, and instructions written explicitly for your phone are necessary to install LineageOS or any other custom Android distribution. Warning: Installing a custom Android distribution is likely to void your warranty. Create a backup of the data on your phone before continuing. You'll need the Android Debug Bridge (adb) installed on your computer. Instructions for installation are available here. For Linux users, it is easier to simply install android-tools through your package manager. You'll also need this custom TWRP and LineageOS build image for the OnePlus 5T (dumpling). Optionally, download the latest GApps (Google Applications) package from OpenGApps.org. Select "ARM64" as the platform, and "9.0" as the Android version. The "stock" variant is recommended. Before installing LineageOS, ensure that the phone has been booted at least once, and is on the most recent official update before continuing. Ensure that all device PINs and fingerprints have been removed prior to starting. Next, enable USB debugging. In the "Settings" app, scroll to the bottom and tap "About phone," and then tap on "Build Number" seven times. Press back, tap "System," scroll down, and tap "Developer options." Scroll down, and tap "USB debugging." Tap "OK." Scroll up, and tap "OEM unlocking." Tap Enable. Note: Linux users should run commands in this guide as root. Prepending "sudo" to these instructions is sufficient. If multiple devices appear, ensure only the OnePlus 5T is attached to your computer, and try again. Flash the TWRP recovery image onto your device. After this is complete, on the OnePlus 5T, press Volume Down three times until the text at the top says "Power off." Press the power button. With the device powered off, hold Volume Down and press Power to boot into the recovery image. The TWRP logo will appear. Swipe right to allow modifications. For the sake of safety, tap Backup to create a backup in the event something goes wrong. The default selected options are acceptable. This backup does not include files in internal storage, such as pictures or downloads. Copy the backup from Internal Storage > TWRP > BACKUPS before continuing. Tap Back twice to return to the main menu. From there, tap Wipe. Tap Format Data. Read the prompt on the OnePlus 5T and follow the instructions. This will remove encryption on the device, and delete files in the internal storage. Tap Back twice. Tap Advanced Wipe. Select "Cache" and "System" partitions, then Swipe to Wipe. From the main menu, tap "Advanced," then "ADB Sideload," and swipe to begin sideloading. Select "Reboot device," but do not install the TWRP app. You can now set up your OnePlus 5T running LineageOS 16.

Crossrail aims to relieve congestion and support the development of London by providing new rail lines from east to west and north to south. Crossrail will connect 40 stations, including Brentwood and Shenfield in the east to Heathrow airport and Reading in the west. Once the entire service is fully opened it will be renamed the Elizabeth Line and form part of the Transport for London network. Using the service will make travelling in the region easier and quicker, and help to reduce crowding on London's transport network. It is hoped the line will create a 'golden corridor' providing a huge boost to the economies on the route, with thousands of jobs and homes for local people. The Council aims to maximise the long term benefits to the Borough's residents. There will be no TfL Rail service on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 March and on Friday 30 March, Saturday 31 March, Sunday 1 April and Monday 2 April (Easter weekend) between Liverpool Street and Shenfield. Replacement buses will operate between Stratford and Romford, and between Newbury Park and Shenfield via Chadwell Health. Customers are advised to use the Central line connections between Liverpool Street, Stratford and Newbury Park. The new timetable for services between Shenfield and Liverpool Street will be introduced from Sunday 20 May 2018. There are no changes to trains in the morning or the evening peak, however due to Network Rail engineering works taking place on the route, there will be changes to services from 9pm between Monday to Thursday. Some trains will terminate/start from Gidea Park instead of Shenfield - please check before you travel. Crossrail are progressing works to extend the platforms and upgrade the customer information systems. In order to achieve a safe working environment and minimise disruption to the operation of the railway, certain work must take place at night or during weekends. Mobile screens/ barriers or enclosures will be placed around the breaking equipment and other noisy hand-held tools, where practical to do so. Over the August Bank Holiday weekend, there will be works at various hours including nights between 1am Sunday 27 August and 4am Tuesday 29 August. The work will be to extend the platform at the eastern end of the station. The expected impact may include noise from road rail vehicles, noise from power tools and breaking equipment and increased lighting during the work at night. Tickets will be accepted on the Central Line from Newbury Park to/from London Liverpool Street. Greater Anglia customers are being advised to use the rail replacement service which will run between Ingatestone / Billericay / and Newbury Park (London Underground station). Works to complete platforms extensions and install Customer Information Systems at Brentwood station will continue until late 2017. Works are being undertaken during the day wherever possible, however for reasons of safety, some weekend and night working is necessary. Transport for London (TfL) recently announced that the first of their new trains have been introduced into service on the TfL Rail route between London Liverpool Street and Shenfield. These are the new trains that will serve the Elizabeth line when the new central London stations open next December (as well as new tunnels). Initially, the train will operate one return trip a day in the off-peak between Liverpool Street and Shenfield. Trains will also continue to be seen on the line as they are used for driver training and also further testing along the route. Further trains will be gradually introduced over the next few months, with eleven in service on the route by the autumn. Further works have recently been completed by Network Rail which including a newly built platform at Shenfield station, three new sidings to accommodate the new trains and the remodelling of a rail junction, improving reliability and increasing capacity for all services. TfL has also recently completed ticket hall refurbishments at a number of stations including Brentwood station. Brentwood Borough Council made changes to car parks in Shenfield from 1 April 2015 in a bid to minimise disruption to local businesses and shoppers during Crossrail construction. Crossrail started work at Shenfield Station in 2015 and used a small part of the car park in Friars Avenue in the early stages. As work progresses Crossrail require more of the car park, which is expected to continue until May 2017. As a way of helping people to continue to visit shops and businesses in Shenfield, the Council made changes to parking in both Friars Avenue and Hunter Avenue car parks. Both car parks provide shoppers parking, with a maximum stay of two hours and no return within four hours. To further encourage people to continue to use the local businesses the Council agreed to make parking free throughout the construction work. All on-street parking will remain the same but this may be reviewed at a later date if appropriate. Crossrail is the new high frequency, convenient and accessible railway for London and the South East. From 2018 the service will be renamed as the Elizabeth Line and enable travel from Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east via new tunnels under central London to Heathrow and Reading in the west. It will link Heathrow Airport, the West End, the City of London, Canary Wharf, the Royal Docks and Stratford. There will be 40 Crossrail stations including 10 new stations at Paddington, Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road, Farringdon, Liverpool Street, Whitechapel, Canary Wharf, Custom House, Woolwich and Abbey Wood. Incarnations of the Crossrail scheme have a long history. Since realising the important role of railways in the London and Regents Canal & Dock Railway plans of the 1880s, through to the post-war Abercrombie Plan and the 1974 London Rail Study, the idea to provide a railway link across London remained an idea. Following the 1989 Central London Rail Study, which again raised the concept of a cross-London rail link, Government interest increased and discussion about options continued into the 1990s. In July 2000 the Government published a ten year transport plan, which asserted that an east-west rail link should go ahead. The Mayor of London's Transport Strategy also prioritised the relief of overcrowding on London Underground. Following several studies and analysis of route options the Crossrail Hybrid Bill was presented to Parliament between February and July 2005, establishing the principle of the scheme. After a long process of scrutiny the Bill finally received Royal Assent in July 2008 with some changes. This gave Crossrail Ltd the authority to build the railway and a confirmed route. Various construction work began in May 2009 as Europe's largest construction project. Tunnelling work began in May 2012 and is now complete. Crossrail Limited is the company charged with delivering Crossrail. Formerly known as Cross London Rail Links (CLRL), it was created in 2001 to promote and develop new lines that meet the needs of the people and businesses throughout the South East, and to ensure that London continues in its role as Europe's leading financial and business centre. Established as a 50/50 joint venture company between Transport for London and the Department for Transport, Crossrail Limited became a wholly owned subsidiary of TfL on 5 December 2008. How will Crossrail affect Brentwood Borough? Crossrail will serve Brentwood and Shenfield stations. These are existing stations on the national rail network which will be upgraded to integrate Crossrail services. Work will also be undertaken to improve the sidings at Shenfield in preparation for where the service will terminate as well as new Crossrail trains to replace the existing metro service. Brentwood Station: Works include platform extensions to provide for longer trains, new signage, help points, customer information screens and CCTV. Shenfield Station: An additional bay platform (6) will be provided for Crossrail trains and new cycle racks installed. There will also be new signage, help points, customer information screens and CCTV. Crossrail services will be introduced in phases from May 2017 until December 2019. The project will be fully completed and renamed the Elizabeth Line once services start through the central tunnel in December 2019. Further information on works planned at Brentwood and Shenfield stations can be found on the Crossrail website. Great Eastern OLE Renewals Project: Renewing electrification equipment from Liverpool Street to Shenfield over the period up to 2017. Anglia Route Track Renewals: Ongoing between Liverpool Street and Norwich. What permission is required from the Council? The Crossrail Act 2008 grants planning permission for the project. The overall impacts of the project have been assessed in the Crossrail Environmental Statement. The role of the local planning authority is restricted to Schedule 7 of the Crossrail Act which covers approvals for (1) plans and specifications for permanent works, and (2) temporary construction arrangements. The types of consideration for plans and specifications include the design of stations and ticket halls, noise barriers, external lighting, and car parking. For construction works it includes arrangements for road transport, soil handling, storage, screening, lighting dust suppression and mud on highways. The starting point for construction works is the Environmental Minimum Requirements and construction code. This sets the standards of required works and the authority will consider the suitability of this in the context of the local environment. Crossrail produce a series of newsletters and bulletins to help communicate construction progress across the project. Route-wide news is reported in the Crossrail Bulletin. Central section news stories are reported in station newsletters. For more information please visit the Crossrail Website. Crossrail operates a 24-hour public helpdesk for any enquiries about the project.

People near Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson may notice more noise and air traffic in the skies over the next few days. JBER's airmen are taking part in Polar Force, a two-week exercise that goes through Friday, April 5. Lt. Col. John Krellner, the 3rd Operations Group deputy commander, says Polar Force tests the base's mission readiness and strengthens the airmen's skills. "What the exercise does for us is it gives us the opportunity to demonstrate our ability to pack up our squadrons, our Airmen and our aircraft and deploy to another location to deliver that combat air power where it's needed," Krellner wrote in a news release Tuesday. Krellner also added that people may notice more activity in and around the base due to the exercise.

Flint Journal to publish 3 days a week Updated Apr 04, 2019; Posted Mar 23, 2009 By Ron Fonger | rfonger1@mlive.com Follow this link to mlive.com/flintforward to read about those changes. FLINT, Michigan -- The Flint Journal will stop publishing a daily newspaper in June and instead print only Thursday, Friday and Sunday editions, employees were told today. The production cuts were announced along with layoffs and reduced wages and benefits for those who remain. Publisher David C. Sharp said the changes were brought on by deep reductions in classified, real estate and automobile advertising. Sharp would not discuss the finances of the privately held company that owns The Journal, the Newhouse Family's Advance Publications. But he said The Journal has been losing money and would have been forced to close without the reductions. Readers of the newspaper can expect more local news on days The Journal is published and "greater Web offerings throughout the week," Sharp said. "I feel like there is a real opportunity about the future," he said. "The strategy we're putting in place will help us be around for a long, long time." Newspaper employees started to get word of the massive changes in meetings this morning as changes were also being announced at other Advance newspapers. The Journal will no longer be printed in Flint but in Bangor Township, where some production functions will be combined with The Saginaw News and The Bay City Times. Those papers also announced Monday that they would cut print publication to three days a week, and Sharp said about 35 percent of employees at the three papers were being laid off. The Ann Arbor News, also owned by Advance, announced Monday it will publish its last edition in July and launch a new Web-based media company called AnnArbor.com LLC later this year. Timothy Boudreau, associate professor of journalism at Central Michigan University, said Monday's cuts show a deepening economic collapse at many newspapers. "Is there a future in journalism? I hope so," Boudreau said. "I don't want to be pessimistic ... but I don't think the industry has figured out what it's going to do." Boudreau said newspaper companies could be harming themselves by cutting home delivery to readers, some of whom have been subscribers for decades. But Sharp said circulation is not the problem for The Journal as much as lost advertising. The revenue from subscriptions alone cannot support the newspaper's expenses. "The lack of consumer confidence has people not buying," Sharp said, and businesses consider advertising a controllable cost that they can quickly stop when buying slows."Our combined audience (print and online) has never been stronger," Sharp said. "We are going to produce better products that people will be delighted to receive."

Q: Is heavy lifting OK when trying to conceive (TTC) and during pregnancy? A: Heavy lifting is unlikely to lead to miscarriages, but it's also unlikely to be beneficial to the pregnancy, and you cannot be sure that it is completely safe. The only way to be 100% safe is to not do any heavy lifting.

Petroleum Pets: Coalinga's Vanishing Iron Zoo Article by Steve, filed under Culture & History in the Travel category From the very first gusher, the Coalinga Oil Field had never been monopolized though Standard Oil did their best (or worst) to drive out the small independent operators. After 1911 when Standard Oil was broken up by "trust-buster" Theodore Roosevelt, the field was exploited piecemeal by a number of companies including Chevron, who operated 34 pump jacks in the early 1970s. One of them was this whimsical giraffe, photographed by Flickr member Touchstone12002 in March of 2008. Pimp My Pump Jack Painting 23 pump jacks was a back-breaking endeavor for Jean Dakessian Jones; the thought of making over Chevron's 34 "thirsty birds" was a daunting proposition unless she applied some creativity. In the event, Jones organized a competition for local artists who submitted designs for one or more of the 34 available pump jacks. Winners were welcome to paint their pump(s) but if they didn't feel up to the task, Jones would step in and paint it for them. The contest galvanized the community: "Families came out on the weekends, even the mayor and his family painted one," according to Jones. We've Hit Beak Oil "The response to the project was overwhelming," recalled Jones. "I never thought of ever getting any publicity for such a thing. I just wanted people to come down the road to our place of business." As the Iron Zoo grew, word of it spread and tourism – practically nil up to then – got a welcome boost. Flickr member j4zberg stopped by to snap the bald eagle pump jack in action during a family vacation in 1974. Coalinga's and Coalingans' self-esteem enjoyed a boost as well. "It was such a great time," adds Jones. "The people looked forward to seeing a new pump being created. Teachers took the students on field trips. People would gather there ('meet me at the zebra after the game tonight')." It's safe to say the Iron Zoo shook up Coalinga but some serious shaking was yet to come.

It's Like a Discipline Without the Discipline of All of the Discipline April 12, 2014 By Damian in books, education, history, identity, philosophy 5 Comments Keith Windschuttle: Foucault's approach, moreover, was peculiarly suited to the university environment. He held that the main revolutionary struggle was not against political or economic institutions; rather the true radicals were the ones who challenged the major Western philosophies or 'systems of thought'. This was a radicalism perfectly suited to practice in the academic realm of tutorials, conferences, cafes and bars. There was no longer any need to do anything as concrete or practical as working for political parties or trade unions, going on strike, or demonstrating in the streets. Instead, followers of Foucault could spend their time reading, debating and writing their criticisms of the academic disciplines of philosophy, history, sociology, criminology and psychiatry. None of this, Foucault argued, was a less practical or inferior variety of politics. 'Theory', Foucault declared, 'does not express, translate or serve to apply practice: it is practice.' …Despite its logical untenability, the genealogical method holds a great attraction for Foucault and his followers. In debates with their opponents, especially if the opponent is a 'positivist' or a 'piecemeal empiricist', they hold what they believe is an unassailable position by focusing on who is speaking rather than what is being said. They use the genealogical method to absolve themselves from the need to examine the content of any statement. All they see the need to do is examine the contents of its production — not 'is it true?' but 'who made the statement and for what reasons?' This is a tactic that is well-known in Marxist circles where, to refute a speaker, one simply identifies his class position and ignores what he actually says. If someone can be labeled 'bourgeois' everything this person says will simply reflect the ideology of that class. The Foucauldian version is little different. In debate, any question about the facts of a statement is ignored and the focus is directed to the way what is said reflects the prevailing 'discursive formation' or how it is a form of knowledge that serves the power of the authorities concerned. One of the reasons for Foucault's popularity in the university environment is that he offers such tactics to his followers — tactics which should be regarded as the negation of the traditional aims of the university: the gaining of knowledge and the practice of scholarship. Foucault's influence on the type of debate so frequently found today should be a matter of great concern. Instead of talk about real issues, all we get is talk about talk. Instead of debates based on evidence and reason, all we get is a retreat to a level of abstraction where enough is assumed to have been said when one has identified the epistemological position of one's opponent. Suddenly, it all becomes clear. You can see countless examples of his legacy in effect every day on the left side of the twitosphere, in the marriage of identitarian narcissism and obfuscatory intellectual pretension. A radicalism that has abandoned any pretensions of creating actual change in the world becomes, of course, little more than fashion. Theories and jargon become ever more convoluted, not in response to changing conditions in the real world, but order to maintain a fashionable aura of novelty. You wouldn't want to be seen wearing last year's radical feminist poststructuralism, would you? Wow, what an informative and engrossing book. I'm kicking myself for not getting around to it sooner. « You Know, You Know; No, You Don't, You Don't» I Turn Into Water, I Wish You All Could Feel the Same April 16, 2014 @ 9:20 pm Facts and sound reasoning are tools of the patriarchy! Foucaultian Critical Theory is, I'm convinced, a secular Gnostic cult: initiate yourself into the pseudo-social science terminology (discursive formations, genealogies, epistemes, and of course the mantra "power/knowledge") and your heavenly spark is saved. Your consciousness will be raised; your articles will get published in Critical Inquiry. Your eyebrows will be permanently raised and you will be very smug. As for the other schlubs, they're in the outer darkness, slaves of that illusion-casting demiurge, the episteme. They are merely robotically "constituted" subjects. You have the saving knowledge that miraculously exempts you from being a robotically constituted subject. It's like magic, because it is. What it isn't is social science. To paraphrase what was said of the Hapsburg Empire's condition before it collapsed, Critical Theory may be critical, but it isn't serious. As for "genealogical" "logic," sounds like the ol' genetic fallacy to me: "y" said "x," ergo "x" can't be true. Wagner was an antisemite, therefore his music is antisemitic–bad morally and aesthetically–and we shouldn't listen to it. It took Daniel Barenboim years to convince Israeli orchestras to perform Wagner–but he did finally succeed. I don't know about a religion, but there is something special about elevating a fallacy to be your central position (and claim it's very intellectual). Obviously, progressives are not the only ones; conservatives, even more broadly, i.e., nearly all of them these days, make a similar claim: that all liberals and nearly all Democrats, are wrong about whatever they say before they even say it. Michael Moore? He's a "liar." Me: Example? "He misleads people; What are you, a communist?" Paul Krugman? "Always wrong!" Me: Name one thing he's been wrong about. "There will be a revolution and people like you will be sorry!" (Really: I'm paraphrasing, but the first one was my sister, the second, a friend of a friend.) Brian M "There will be a revolution, and people like you will be sorry" Fascism in a nutshell. Scary, actually. It's like Christian fundamentalists who ENJOY thinking about the punishments of the damned. I know. What's scarier is that these are educated people. They were just totally flustered by being asked to support their "opinions" – really just the kind of baseless accusations that have become standard with Fox News viewers – with facts.

Six Lives Left: Cat Survives Gas Chamber and Freezer , October 18, 2011 In honor of Global Black Cat Week, I present to you the story of a cat who has proven that the "cats have nine lives" thing may be more than just a joke. Andrea, a gorgeous black-and-white long-haired cat was brought into the shelter in West Valley City, Utah, a month ago. She'd obviously been someone's pet; she was friendly, affectionate, and litterbox trained. Unfortunately nobody came forward to claim her. Maybe her black fur made her so hard to see that nobody stepped forward to adopt her, either. At West Valley City Animal Shelter, 30 days with no adoption means only one thing: the gas chamber. That's right. This shelter uses carbon monoxide to kill unwanted animals. It gives me the shudders just thinking about it. In any case, they herded Andrea into the gas chamber with a bunch of other unwanted cats, hit the switch, and waited for the dirty deed to be done. But when the shelter worker opened the chamber door, Andrea was still alive. He closed the chamber and ran the gas again. This time, Andrea was no longer moving and appeared to have no vital signs, so the shelter worker assumed she was finally dead. He put Andrea's body in a bag with some others and tossed her in a freezer with the other animals that had been killed. About 45 minutes later, workers returned to the cooler with a dead dog. When they opened the door, they heard meowing. They ripped open the garbage bag and found Andrea staring at them, wide-eyed with terror. I guess it finally hit them that a cat that could survive two gassings and being nearly frozen to death might just deserve to keep living. The West Valley City Animal Shelter's manager took Andrea to the vet to have her checked out, and then called Community Animal Welfare Society, who quickly took her into their care. The city defends the gas chamber method by saying it's endorsed by the American Veterinary Association. Have you seen the list of symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning? Headache, dizziness, nausea, chest pain, vomiting, abdominal pain, seizures — and lots of other fun and exciting sensations. If these things happen to humans with carbon monoxide poisoning, how on earth can anybody think that animals don't experience similar symptoms? Thankfully, some US states have banned gas chamber "euthanasia," and organizations including the American Humane Association and the Humane Society of the United States campaign against its use because they consider it an inhumane method of killing unwanted animals. Andrea and her six remaining lives are now safe in the custody of CAWS. She doesn't appear to be suffering any long-term harm from her ordeal. The organization is hoping that Andrea's story will show how cruel it is to gas animals to death.

In this workshop, the PNF techniques will be presented and applied in an analytical manner, on various muscle groups. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation uses the body's proprioceptive system to facilitate or inhibit muscle contraction. These techniques are based on Sherrington's principles of irradiation, reciprocal innervation and inhibition. PNF techniques were developed during the 1940s and 1950s, and are the result of the work of Kabat, Knott and Voss. Herman Kabat began using PNF techniques on younger individuals with cerebral palsy and other neurological disorders. Voss defined the PNF as a method of promoting or speeding up the response of the neuromuscular system by stimulating the proprioceptors. Since the 1980s, PNF techniques have been used in many other areas of physical therapy and sports training besides neuro-rehabilitation. These techniques can be used to decrease tone in the quadriceps, hip flexors, hamstrings, biceps, etc., leading to large gains in range of motion and function, as well as decreasing pain and discomfort. Many PNF techniques can be included in workout programs, to enhance coordination, movement and stability. PNF is a useful tool that all sports professionals and physical therapists should understand and use depending on their objectives. What did i learned today? What was good in the workshop? What was bad in the workshop? more time should given for practice. I learnt the exact neurophysiology taught, also the importance of bio mechanics and how to improve skills to on it. To call the patients in workshop and apply PNF technique on them which helped in better understanding. What was bad in the workshop? I am really happy for not getting boring theoretical lecture. Learnt more of hands on skills, which is really appreciable . now I don't need to mug up the components of diagonal patterns of PNF (thankfully). Come to know about a wider aspect if PNF . And the main thing … I have started liking neuro. At least now I don't hate it and that's just because of the way you taught us in my favorite way … Dance ! With PNF you made us learn other approaches too. Application of technique which you modify and make patient do. What was bad in the workshop? Nothing bad. But didn't get time to practice diagonal patterns for lower extremity. It was an amalgamation of all techniques pertaining to a case, not only pertaining to the subject of today's workshop. Overall approaches to a patient were taught well, in a fun way. As the topic is very confusing & volatile, it required a lot of time to absorb the things taught in one day. What was bad in the workshop? So far nothing bad. I am taking lots of things from today's workshop like new concepts of treatment and how to incorporate that in application of patient treatment. I learnt about rhythmic rotation its effect on spasticity. I learnt that whatever works is treatment and whatever doesn't work is assessment. Also I liked the concept of inviting muscle for contraction. The lecture and practical was very informative. I really liked the way you teach sir! The very fact that you used less of PPT and explained the neurophysiology of each technique is good. Plus your method of teaching is very good, especially with all the jokes and the correlation of pattern with dances makes it very easy to remember. Neuro is all about dance and understand the normal behavior and follow it to treat the abnormal pattern. Always move with the patient as an one unit. PNF can used and incorporate in any condition with other approaches as long as it serves the purpose and improves the muscles function (it is not only restricted to neuro) and most importantly i learnt to think multi directional towards a problem. The workshop was self-explanatory and fun. Nothing specifically I feel more time is required to understand it in more details and practically on patients. I learnt how to increase the complexity in mat exercises. I like the way upper extremity pattern was explained & good sense of humor. I wanted more hands on under supervision & certain topic's pace should be slow. I learnt " whatever works is treatment and whatever doesn't work is a assessment". It was a combination of various techniques with principals of PNF. Everything was good except that the topic it self is very volatile. The best take home message was " teach, treat and training". The best part of approval was to understand the neurophysiological basic technique. What was bad in the workshop? Everything was good. I learnt to believe in my treatment & gain more confidence in treating patients with PNF. (something which I sound very volatile in BPTh). It gave more insight to the technique. The way you taught was great. What was bad in the workshop? I am an ortho elective, if you can add a little of PNF use in musculoskelatal cases. Learnt new techniques of releasing the stiffness and strengthening concepts. Various techniques that can be combined for treating the patient better. Better approach of seeing the patient. What was good about the workshop? What was bad about the workshop? A little knowledge of PNF related to orthopaedics. Better learning , new techniques. Everything from the presentation of the topic, knowledge and arrangement of workshop. Use of PNF pattern to facilitate weak muscle; Use of good alingnment to improve body/mechanise. Use of functional movement to improve ADL activities. More time needed to practice all PNF patterns. How to solve the problems? We learned lots of problem solving techniques which are priceless. Everything was excellent .No words. Way of manipulating things to get the best outcome from the patient with less effort by the therapist and aim at KR and not on KP. Did not get enough time for practicing due to shortage of time. Learned how to use PNF techniques while treating patients. New techniques, bridging, treating differently, alertness and arousal. Practical and hands on is very important and we did it. Correlation between theory and practicals. Practical application of techniques on patients. Workshop was very practical and helpful in treating patients. How to change treatment approach according to orientation. How to use PNF in various conditions. Practical demonstration of all the techniques. I learnt the irradiation principle with unit the segments to help the patient to achieve the goal. The demos on the patient. Too many demos with short periods of practice. Maybe it should have been three days workshop with more hands on practice. How to treat different conditions of neuro patients. Use of different techniques for achieving goals of patients. Different approaches for different patients. Along with PNF a lot of practical, patient-related knowledge. To incorporate functional activities in good ways which brings about the mass movements. Also each technique should be given time to practice in front of trainer. Clinical applications of PNF, verbalization with patient to perform a task. Time constraints, too many things to grasp. Different PNF techniques , how to design a treatment protocol depending on patient status. Too many things to grasp. Revision of the previous day workshop. Explanation and presentation was upto the core. Did not get much time to practice. PNF techniques with better hands on application and better decision making on what technique to use in what cases. Some more time is needed to be alloted. Difference between conventional strengthening of PNF and its application to varied weaknesses of any origin. The instructor was to the point and the techniques demonstrated were excellent . Made a difference in the approach of rehabilitation. Too many demos done at a stretch. Need to space out the demos.

Jacksonville's Full 2021 Schedule: 2/6 Jacksonville Limestone (DII) Scrimmage 2/10 Jacksonville Bellarmine Non-Conference 2/13 North Carolina Jacksonville 2/20 Mercer Jacksonville Non-Conference (Savannah, Ga.) 2/28 Navy Jacksonville 3/6 Utah Jacksonville 3/14 Jacksonville Duke 3/21 Mercer Jacksonville SoCon 3/27 Jacksonville VMI SoCon 4/3 Jacksonville Robert Morris Charlotte, N.C. 4/10 Jacksonville Air Force SoCon 4/17 Richmond Jacksonville SoCon 4/24 Jacksonville Bellarmine SoCon 5/1 High Point Jacksonville SoCon Two non-conference games against ACC teams (Duke, UNC). Features only one non-conference game against a conference foe (Bellarmine). Games to Circle 2/10 & 4/24 vs Bellarmine: The Dolphins will welcome the Knights to the Sunshine State twice. Only the final meeting will count as a conference game. The two didn't play last season due to the season getting cut short, but have faced off every full season in 2014. Jacksonville has won the past three contest and the all-time series is tied at three. However, their past two contests have been interesting and somewhat tight. In 2018, Jacksonville pulled away to win 9-5 after only leading 2-1 at the half. In 2019, the game was tied at six early in the fourth, but the Dolphins scored five of the final seven goals to win 11-9. 3/6 @ Utah: The Dolphins will make their first ever trip out to Salt Lake City this season to face the Utah Utes. The two squared off in the Moe's Classic last season, where Utah took the 15-11 victory. Jacksonville was able to claw back from an early 6-2 deficit, but a 4-2 run in the fourth for the Utes sealed the deal. 5/1 @ High Point: Jacksonville ends the year on the road against High Point. During the last full season in 2019, the Dolphins faced the Panthers twice and went 1-1. Jacksonville won the first meeting, 12-10, in the regular season but fell, 17-3, in the SoCon semifinals. This game will likely have a big impact on the postseason, as we've seen with the final week of SoCon play in recent years.

Pharmacology & Pharmacy > Vol.6 No.8, August 2015 Nutritional and Anti-Nutritional Quantification Assessment of Cymbopopgon citratus Leaf () Anayo Joseph Uraku1*, Stanley Chukwudozie Onuoha2, Nzube Edwin1, Nkiru Ezeani1, Moses Eji Ogbanshi2, Chukwu Ezeali1, Basil Uchechukwu Nwali1, Mathias Chukwuemeka Ominyi2 1Department of Biochemistry, Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, Nigeria. 2Department of Biotechnology, Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, Nigeria. DOI: 10.4236/pp.2015.68041 PDF HTML XML 3,225 Downloads 4,538 Views Citations The leaf-extract of Cymbopogon citratus was evaluated for nutritional and anti-nutritional compositions. The results revealed that the plant leaves contained appreciable amounts of phyto-chemicals (alkaloids, glucosides, phenols, saponins, flavonoids and tannins), proximate compositions (proteins, carbohydrates, fats, crude fibre, ash and moisture), vitamins (A, C, E, B1, B2 and B9) and trace elements (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, Na, K, Ca and Co) in varying degrees. These chemical compositions obtained may be responsible for the nutritional and therapeutic uses. The proximate, vitamin and mineral compositions obtained suggested that the leaves may serve as cheap sources of vitamin A, C, E, B1, B2 and B9 as well as other macro- and micro-nutrients, and could be incorporated into human diets to meet-up with their recommended daily dietary allowances. The content of flavonoids, vitamin A, C and E in the leaf extract also suggests possible anti-oxidant effects of the plant leaves.

Lots of people want to know: stock market or real estate? Real estate or stock market? Anyone who knows me – an under market value property investor in San Antonio TX who owner finances everything – knows that I always will prefer real estate investing over the stock market. Investing in real estate made me a millionaire at a young age. More specifically, investing in under market value real estate made me a millionaire at a young age! However, early on in my early 20s, I did invest in the stock market, and ended up with approximately $100,000. Then, the market crashed after 9/11, and I lost about $50,000 in the stock market. This made me look at investing in real estate instead of the stock market. Many people think that if we put enough cash into the stock market, we will be able to retire and not incur a great deal of risk. The problem is that it often takes 30 years to invest enough, and you never know when you are going to be about to retire, and suddenly the market dives. When that happens, many would be retirees end up having to work another 10 years or more. The low interest rates in the last few years mean that elderly people often have 50% of their money or more in stocks. This is often because they took such a hit in the big economic downturn in 2008. Now they have to take a lot more risk with stocks. For me, once I got out of the stock market with my $50,000 and invested in real estate, I become wealthier much faster. I began in 2001 and had 40k of college debt, but by investing in below market value properties, I was able to be essentially retired at age 28 with 20k+ per month of cash flow. I find that investing in under market value property just produces more steady cash flow than any other vehicle. I never have to ask invest in stock market or real estate, invest in real estate or stock market. It's 100% under market value real estate for me. This under market value property was purchased by a CA cash buyer in July 2015 at 1622 Alametos St. This house is in 78201, and is north of downtown. This region is seeing rapid growth and appreciation. I will make nearly 13% per year without repairs on this under market value property until the buyer decides to refinance. Most stock portfolios cannot produce that type of steady return. That is why I always recommend investing in real estate instead of the stock market. Invest in real estate or stock market? For me it is not a choice at all. Previous PostPrevious Should I Invest in the Stock Market or Real Estate?

Russian President Vladimir Putin formally suspends INF treaty with Washington 3 años hace Maria Emilia Laureiro Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed into law a bill to suspend the country's participation in the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) with the United States after Washington suspended its obligations under the landmark nuclear arms control agreement Putin on Wednesday signed the legislation which says the decision to resume the treaty is to be made by the Russian president, according to the law published on an official government website. Moscow decided to suspend its participation in the INF on February 2nd, a day after U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that Washington would suspend the treaty for 180 days and would fully withdraw from it later if Russia did not stop what he called "violations" of the treaty. In retaliation, Putin signed a decree on March 4th aimed at suspending his country's participation in the INF over U.S. violations. The INF was signed toward the end of the Cold War, in 1987, by then U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Under the treaty, both sides were banned from creating ground-launch nuclear missiles with ranges from 500 to 5,500 kilometers. The pact also banned the sides from deploying short and intermediate-range, land-based missiles in Europe. Washington claims that Russia's new 9M729 missile is in violation of the treaty and should be dismantled. Russia rebutted the claim in January by unveiling the missile and its key specifications. Major General Mikhail Matveevsky, the Russian chief of missile and artillery troops, said the missile's maximum range was about 480 kilometers, well within what is allowed under the INF.
