America faces a $1 trillion infrastructure funding crisis. Government alone can’t fully fund all of the roads, bridges, and other critical infrastructure our economy needs – let alone upgrade our airports, shipping hubs and water facilities to meet the challenges of the coming decades. Private investors, working together with government, will have to step up with additional resources in order to bridge the gap.
What’s causing the infrastructure funding gap?
$1 trillion in government funding available.
That leaves a $1 trillion infrastructure investment gap.
What are the barriers to private sector investment?
It is difficult for investors to assess project quality, due to a lack of data standardization and transparency about projects’ economic benefits.
New financing mechanisms, such as land value capture and variable property taxes, do not have a recent track record in the US. This makes it difficult to benchmark and determine their value.
With no clear pipeline of projects, there is no certainty of a long-term diversified portfolio for interested investors.
Projects may not be used by consumers as much as projected. This creates the risk that future revenue collected from tolls or beneficiary fees will fall short.
States and cities have varying laws and regulations on private participation in infrastructure. This makes working in multiple jurisdictions costly – to impossible.
Investors are concerned with unexpected risks, like a change of administration or neighborhood opposition, which could delay or stop a project before it’s operational.

"Don't worry," Darcy spoke over Maria Consuela's head to Maggie. "One of the qualifiers is strength. There's no way any mortal is going to be stronger than a vampire."
Maggie exhaled in relief. "Good."
They reached the servants' parlor, and Maggie took Maria Consuela to her room to change.
"Land sakes, all that dancing has left me positively famished." Cora Lee sauntered into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of Chocolood from the refrigerator. "Would anyone like to share this with me?" She popped it into the microwave.
"I will." Lady Pamela retrieved two tea cups and saucers from the cabinet.
Darcy filled a glass with ice, then took another bottle of Chocolood from the fridge. "Have you decided who should be eliminated tonight?" She poured the chocolate and blood mixture into her glass.
Lady Pamela shuddered. "How ghastly. I cannot fathom how you can drink that stuff cold."
Darcy shrugged. She usually added some chocolate syrup, too. "The colder it is, the less I can taste the blood."
Vanda snorted. "But that's the best part."
"I know who needs to go." Cora Lee removed the Chocolood from the microwave and poured the warm liquid into the tea cups. "That clumsy George trampled my feet three times. And he never apologized for it, even when I yelped in pain."
Lady Pamela gasped. "What appalling behavior."
"I agree." Princess Joanna put a bottle of Type O synthetic blood in the microwave. She liked her meals simple. "As for the best-dressed contest, I wish to eliminate Ahmed of Cairo."
Darcy frowned. "You're not doing that just to please Maria Consuela? I realize she had quite a scare this evening."
"Nay, though I can certainly sympathize with her. I was frightened out of my wits a fortnight ago when I was badly burned." The princess cast a disparaging glance toward Cora Lee.
Cora Lee winced and rushed into the parlor with her tea cup.
"My reasoning is sound." Princess Joanna withdrew her bottle from the microwave and poured the contents into a glass. "The man was wearing scruffy brown loafers with a black suit."
Lady Pamela gasped. "Horrid, simply horrid."
"Ghastly!" Vanda added sarcastically as she popped a bottle of blood into the microwave.
Princess Joanna stiffened. "Prithee, you should take this more seriously. This is our new master we are choosing."
Vanda shrugged. "Aren't we doing fine without a master? I mean, we haven't killed each other." She grinned at the princess. "Though we did come close."
Princess Joanna huffed and stomped into the parlor. She sat in an easy chair. The ladies gave each other worried looks.
"If we didn't have a master, who would make decisions for us?" Cora Lee asked.
Darcy sat next to her. "You made a decision tonight to eliminate George."
"Oh." Cora Lee sipped from her tea cup. "I suppose I did."
"But who would pay the bills?" Lady Pamela asked.
Vanda removed her dinner from the microwave. She sauntered into the parlor, drinking straight from the bottle.
Princess Joanna frowned at her. We need a master to keep us in line."
Vanda swallowed. "Seems to me, all we need is money."
Lady Pamela set down her tea cup with a clink. "A master would take care of us."
Vanda sprawled on the couch beside her. "I think an occasional dose of vampire sex is all we need. And we wouldn't have any trouble finding lots of Vamp men for that."
Princess Joanna's frown deepened. "Are you suggesting we consort in a promiscuous manner? I assure you, I am far too dignified for such behavior."
Vanda rolled her eyes.
The ladies sat there, silently. Vanda's question seemed to have them all stumped. Darcy watched, fascinated. The women were starting to question things they never would have before.
"I wouldn't mind a master if he was brave and heroic," Cora Lee whispered.
"Like Adam," Lady Pamela said.
"Did you see his face during the fashion contest?" Cora Lee asked. While the princess was judging, the other ladies had watched the competition in the parlor on the television.
"You mean when he stopped under the chandelier?" Lady Pamela asked. "He had the saddest look on his face. I thought I was going to cry."
"I wonder what made him so sad." Vanda gave Darcy a questioning look.
Darcy felt a blush creep into her cheeks.
Luckily, at that moment Maggie strode into the parlor. "Good news. Maria Consuela wasn't injured. She's just a little shaken by it all."
The women murmured their relief.
"Tell us what happened last night at DVN," Vanda demanded.
"Oh, yes! Do tell." Cora Lee exclaimed. "Did you see Don Orlando?"
Maggie grinned. "I did a screen test with him."
The ladies all sighed. Except for Vanda. She was frowning.
"How did it go?" Darcy asked.
Maggie leaned against the wall and hugged herself. "He looked deep into my eyes and asked for my phone number."
The ladies sighed again.
"Did you hear what Corky Courrant's been saying about him on Live with the Undead?" Vanda asked.
Maggie scoffed. "I don't listen to such vicious gossip."
"What did Corky say?" Cora Lee sipped from her tea cup.
"She said he goes through women like Kleenex," Vanda said.
"That's not true!" Maggie cried. "He's just looking for the right lady Vamp."
"Then he must be looking in every coffin in America," Vanda grumbled.
"What is Kleenex?" Princess Joanna demanded.
Vanda gritted her teeth. "It's a disposable handkerchief."
The princess sniffed. "I don't believe in disposable things. They are evil."
Vanda snorted. "Right. They're garbage. And Don Orlando treats women like garbage."
"Stop it!" Maggie shouted. "I won't let you talk that way about him."
Darcy was waging an internal battle, debating whether or not to tell Maggie the truth. But poor Maggie looked so hurt. Darcy decided she would wait until later. Maggie needed to know about Don Orlando's affairs with Corky and Tiffany, but she deserved privacy for the dismal news. "Did you pass the screen test?"
"Yes, I did," Maggie announced defensively. "And I'll be a star with Don Orlando, too. Just wait and see."
"What happens next?" Darcy asked.
"I have one more interview before they make their final decision. I have to talk to your boss."
"Sly?" Darcy stifled a groan. She'd have to warn Maggie about him, too.
"I am ready." Maria Consuela entered the parlor.
"Okay." Darcy went to the refrigerator to retrieve two more black orchids. "Let's go."
As they took the elevator to the first floor of the penthouse, Darcy explained the upcoming schedule. "After tonight, we're taking a break for three nights. You can all stay here if you like."
"Where will you go?" Maggie asked.
"I'm going back to Gregori's," Darcy answered. "Tomorrow night, I have to go to DVN to edit the first show. It'll make its debut the next night on Saturday."
"How exciting!" Cora Lee clasped her hand together. "We can watch ourselves on television."
"Yes." The elevator opened onto the kitchen. Darcy led the ladies to the foyer. "The show is scheduled for midnight Wednesdays and Saturdays. I'll be editing the second show this Sunday. Then, we'll start shooting again Monday."
They filed into the foyer. Gregori had the men ready on the staircase in two lines of four. As usual, Darcy looked for Adam first. He was now wearing dry clothes. He didn't look up as the ladies arranged themselves in a line. Was he upset with how things had turned out?
The cameramen got into position. Bernie focused on the women, and Bart on the men.
Gregori began, "Tonight, two men will receive black orchids. If you receive one, you will be expected to leave immediately. The limo is waiting for you outside."
The eight men nodded. Bart panned slowly over their faces.
"One more announcement before we begin," Gregori continued. "The prize money for the winner has risen once again. The Sexiest Man on Earth will now receive three million dollars." | 1,946 |
Can anyone explain me, why?
Ext.grid.column.Column uses 'items' internally for sub-headers so you should not use it in defining grid column.
Thanks for the reply, vietits.
But, how can I insert container into grid.Panel's column?
Have a look at my component: Its.grid.column.Component (http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?174504-Its.grid.column.Component-Component-Column-for-Ext-4.0.7). It allows you embed components in grid cells.
Thank you very much, Vietits! | 136 |
I don't think there is one correct way. There are many ways. My way of learning WR:
1. There is YT channel Darkbreaker that released 5 videos for beginner's guide for each role. Maybe a bit outdated for jungle role, but the principle is the same. Darkbreaker videos mistly specific champions and the titles are clickbaiting, but the channel has some good general guide. Usually the long videos. Darkbreaker is solo laner main, but sometimes play jungler.
2. Itemization... There is one outdated video from Hellsdevil about item passive skill. But I learn a lot for principles. Hellsdevil play all roles.
3. IMO, jungler is the most complex role. I learn not only from WR videos, but also from LOL jungle channels, discords, reddit, etc.
4. YT channel Broken Support is rather controversial for support main, but his videos usually explain why he made ceritain macro decision making.
5. If like a certain champions, of course you check in YT the guides of those champions. There are other YTers to check. For example YT Enyav for Vayne main.
If I may suggest, learn macro aspects first than micro. Good map reading skill can be used in any champion, but if you learn how to use Yasuo's ult, you can only play as Yasuo.
I am a slow learner. I play many games in pve for mechanics. For my checklist in micro using a champ abilities:
1. How to executed the ability. Read the description and try to understand as much as possible. Practice to get muscle memory. For champions that you want to main, it is mandatory
2. When and why you executed the ability. For champions that you want to main, it is mandatory before you use this champ into ranked matches. I put in different point than number 1. How to execute could be easier to practice, that is pure micro. Number 2 is for a more macro aspect. You know how to executed Darius ult, but you click ult when engaging enemy without stacks... You will get flamed by your teammates.
Simple easy champions could win the games if we keep learning Macro like map reading, decision making, etc. I see this game not won consistently by outplaying a fight, but by good macro.
More than once I could predict the win/lost just by seeing my jungler's rotation, laners' wave management, etc.; simple game plays.
Focus on one role, but after you learn basic of all five roles. At minimum, watch videos of all roles. I had matches with players that got auto filled into other roles then become useless. They were pretty high ranked (platinum+) but when got other role than their main, they play like a completed noob, didn't know even fundamental. | 597 |
NETW206 Course Project
For this project, you will be working in a team to redesign a campus area network for an enterprise customer. You will be completing an assessment of the business goals, a design of a new network to meet these goals, developing a new IP addressing scheme, and documenting network topology with Visio. The complete project outline is found in this document.
At the beginning of class, the instructor will post the teams that will be made up of three or four individuals (numbers may vary in some cases) that will form the basis of working on the projects. There are several resources for working with teams outlined on the Course Project page in the course shell. Your team will have discussion forums available each week and real-time chat/meeting forums available in the course shell.
A team contract will need to be completed and uploaded to your professor in Week 1. It will not be graded, but it has to be completed by each team member and uploaded into the Dropbox. The Peer Review will need to be uploaded to the Dropbox in Week 4 by each team member. The Week 4 Project Status report will need to be uploaded to the Dropbox in Week 4 by one team member. The final Course Project and peer reviews are due in Week 7. Each team member will upload to the Dropbox an end-of-project Peer Review in Week 7.
Objectives
In this Course Project activity, you will demonstrate your ability to work as a team to design a network upgrade to a current network based on the scenario outlined below. Your team will document and justify your design, select and justify equipment selection, create an IP address table, and create a Visio network diagram.
Scenario
You are a network engineer for a medium-sized enterprise business with a campus area network in place using EIGRP. The network consists of four buildings, each with LANs, which are connected individually to the company headquarters building. The main IT communications room is located in the headquarters building and includes most shared resources and the connection to the ISP through a dedicated ISP router. Currently, the company is using LAN technology to connect all the end systems within each building and WAN technology to connect the buildings to the headquarters site.
Your team has been asked to design a proposal for a new network. Your team has been asked to consider IPV6 for deployment now or in the future. Your team has identified the business goals of the project and is in the process of outlining the technical goals and constraints needed for the new network, designing the new network topology, and selecting the new equipment. Part of the technical goals will be to justify your IGP protocol decision (for example: stay with EIGRP or migrate to OSPF), select all of the new LAN and WAN equipment, create a bill of materials for your network, and create a Visio diagram of the CAN and each building. You will also devise a basic security proposal for your network. The current network does make use of VLANs, STP, and other network traffic options on the current LAN switches. Even with all of this in place, the company has experienced bottlenecks. Your team would like to try and use EtherChannel as an option for, at least, part of the network to see if it will lessen traffic congestion between your access and distribution layer switches. In addition, the documentation at the access layer is nonexistent and will have to be built. Your team will also need to create an IP addressing system.
Justify your decisions based on the scenario. If you feel you do not have enough information in the scenario to make a decision about a technical requirement, your team is free to decide on additional details relevant to the network. Include these decisions in your justification and document them for your final course deliverable.
Answer questions such as: EIGRP or OSPF? EtherChannel? Wireless LAN access? IPv4 only? IPv6 inclusion now or in the future? Product selection? Design issue? What Information will be important to include in an RFP? What have you decided to do about wireless networking access in each building or LAN? Do you have any design or security concerns? Look at cost and cost per connection; look at possible challenges like interference, security, speed, what kind of cable or wireless connection to install for growth, how to plan for the future, and so on. Make sure to show your justification and the scope of what you have decided your new network will look like. Will your network addressing scheme continue to use IPv4? Or will you choose to use IPv6 in some form for this upgrade now or in the future? How does this affect your equipment selection? Was there any security measure your team planned on implementing?
Document any references that you use in APA format in the deliverable document. The Cisco website is a good source of information. One Cisco discussion of campus networks can be found at:
Verify that your new switches can perform Ether Channel, (You can visit the “System Requirements to Implement Ether Channel on Catalyst Switches” section of the Cisco website to help with this part of the project. This site allows you to gather more information to determine if EtherChannel is a good option for your new network.) Create a table that will outline at least the following information.
Required Resources
Visio software (this can be accessed via Citrix or downloaded from the student software store if necessary.)
Microsoft Word
Internet research
Step 1: Define the technical goals, constraints, and services required on the new network.
For the CAN Project deliverables, make sure you include this information as you define goals and constraints and list services required. Please outline in college-level paragraphs the final decisions and justifications, you made for the technical goals, constraints, and services required for the new network.
References:
Try and peruse the IEEE Explore digital library and the Faulkner’s FACCTs databases from the DeVry library website as general references for technology and networking. The databases are available from the DeVry library site accessed via the student resources tab under Course Home.
Step 2: EtherChannel: Is this a viable option?
Number of ports allowed to bundled for an EtherChannel group
Maximum group bandwidth supported by bundling the ports
IOS version needed to support Ether Channel on the switch model
Load balancing availability
Load balancing configuration options
Network layers supported for EtherChannel operation
Please outline in college-level paragraphs any additional information you need to add regarding selection of EtherChannel. | 1,328 |
Moussa Doumbia was Reims’ hero against Nice as David Guion’s triumphed 1-0 in their opening Ligue 1 clash of the season.
The newly-promoted side held their nerves after the Mali international’s second minute strike to record a shocking win at Allianz Riviera.
Doumbia who joined the French side from Rostov for free made his impact felt just minutes into his debut to hand his team a crucial away victory.
He curled in a low shot past goalkeeper Yoan Cardinale after finding enough space outside the hosts’ goal area.
However, he was cautioned in the 23rd minutes by referee Johan Hamel for a foul.
Algeria international Youcef Atta was on from start to finish for Nice but could do nothing in rescuing Patrick Vieira’s side from making a false start in the French elite division.
Reims are seventh in the log and they would be hoping for their first home win of the season when they slug it out against Lyon on August 17. | 223 |
Is an e-will, which exists only in a computer file, just a manifestation of another technological advance than can be accommodated by our statute of wills, or does it really test the boundaries of the law?
The simple answer was that the means of preparation of the document were not determinative. Rather, it was its purposeful adoption as an original by the testator that controlled.

Our stay in Las Vegas was over and it was time for the second part of our trek, a five-night stay with Anna’s cousin in Orange County, California. In fact, in relatively close vicinity in Orange County, Anna has two cousins, a nephew and her uncle and auntie.
We would meet with Anna’s auntie and uncle on Saturday morning, they would drive us 4½ hours through the desert to California, where we we would stay until Sunday morning before flying back to New York.
We checked out of the Flamingo at 10:00am and Bob and Susan were already waiting out the front for us. Our desert journey would wind through Nipton, Baker, Barstow and Phelan, before eventually reaching our target destination, Irvine, California.
Naturally, Anna fell asleep as soon as the car started moving, her auntie nodding off not long after, leaving Bob and myself to spend the next few hours chatting about his time spent in the Marines as well as his many drives through that very desert.
Once we arrived in Irvine we went to Anna’s cousin, Michelle’s, house, where she had prepared some great ribs for dinner. We sat around eating and drinking with Michelle and her husband, Chip, for the rest of the night, catching up on what had happened since the last time we had seen them, which was at our wedding in Malaysia four years ago. Chip is a very early sleeper and was heading to Alabama the following morning to watch the football and wouldn’t be back until after we had left, so it was Michelle, her two dogs, Anna and myself in their beautiful, enormous house for the next few days.
Anna with Roxy, the only dog I’ve ever heard of that is allergic to grass.
They live in a nice, little gated community, but even getting to the nearest convenience store was going to require that car.
When Michelle was ready for her lunch break she took us to Javiers at the Irvine Spectrum Center for some great Mexican food. We ate, looked around the mall, did some Christmas shopping and then it was time for a little adventure; Picking up the car at the airport and experimenting with our first attempt at driving on the opposite side of the road.
The Duke, photobombed by an infant.
We caught a lyft to John Wayne Airport at about 4:00pm, checked out our new Chrysler, our ride for the next week, and then we were off.
Since I developed epilepsy I haven’t been comfortable driving, especially outside of Australia, so, as like in Singapore, Anna was to be our charioteer around Southern California and I, the navigator. She did an amazing job of getting us around, too. Sure, initially I had to drop quite a few subtle hints that she was almost in the gutter, but besides that, she did great. We had one other problem, however; Our new car was a little too high-tech.
We decided it was a bit too late in the day to go on an adventure, so we would leave that for Thursday and just spend the rest of Wednesday back at Irvine Spectrum Center finishing off the Christmas shopping. The ride there would’ve been a lot more comfortable for Anna if we could have ever found out how to make her seat move forward. Mine was just a handle, the driver’s side was more than that and Anna was unable to push the pedals all the way down. Still, this was nothing.
The sun has been setting at around 4:45pm and it was well after that by the time we decided to drive back to Michelle’s house. At first we thought the interior lights of the car would switch off automatically, maybe after a few seconds, possibly a minute. Well, Anna couldn’t see properly while she was driving, one minute turned into two, two turned into ten and in that time I was both telling her where to go, all the while pressing random buttons in the car to get the interior lights off. When nothing worked we eventually pulled over, googled it and found they were controlled by a tiny dimmer switch under the steering wheel, not the buttons on the actual lights. We fixed the light situation and drove back to Michelle’s with an infinitely dimmer dashboard, as well.
We had big plans for Thursday. As I mentioned in the last post, Anna’s uncle and auntie had mentioned something about getting us NHL tickets for the Anaheim Ducks. It turns out that one of Anna’s cousin, Michelle’s, friends works pretty high up at the Staples Center, home to the Anaheim Ducks and the L.A. Kings of NHL and both the L.A. Lakers and Clippers of the NBA. Apparently, she even has a Lakers championship ring, but anyone who knows me knows I despise the Lakers, however, most tickets now would be an opportunity to see them lose. But Michelle’s friend, Christy, came through even better; She got us tickets to the L.A. Clippers vs. Golden State Warriors.
We spent quite a bit of time walking around, but it wasn’t that fun being on our guard all the time, so we dropped into Amoeba Music, a place I could have easily spent all day, and then Ripley’s Believe it Or Not!. Ripley’s was interesting for us because it had exhibitions we could both kind of relate to.
Feeling somewhat normal!
Robert Pershing Wadlow (February 22, 1918 – July 15, 1940) also known as the Alton Giant and the Giant of Illinois, was the tallest person in recorded history for whom there is irrefutable evidence. The Alton and Illinois monikers reflect the fact that he was born and raised in Alton, Illinois.
Foot binding (also known as “lotus feet”) was the custom of applying painfully tight binding to the feet of young girls to prevent further growth. The practice possibly originated among upper-class court dancers during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in Imperial China (10th or 11th century), then became popular during the Song dynasty and eventually spread to all social classes. Foot binding became popular as a means of displaying status (women from wealthy families, who did not need their feet to work, could afford to have them bound) and was correspondingly adopted as a symbol of beauty in Chinese culture. Its prevalence and practice however varied in different parts of the country.
The Manchu Kangxi Emperor tried to ban foot binding in 1664 but failed. In the later part of the 19th century, Chinese reformers challenged the practice but it was not until the early 20th century that foot binding began to die out as a result of anti-foot binding campaigns. Foot-binding resulted in lifelong disabilities for most of its subjects, and a few elderly Chinese women still survive today with disabilities related to their bound feet.
It got to about 5:30pm, two hours until tip off, so we decided to try and beat the aforementioned traffic jams and get to the Staples Center early and grab some dinner there. Besides, as much as I hate the Lakers, I wanted to check out the statues out the front.
We went to a really good little pizza place and then it was time to find our seats. I was excited for this game, I knew it would be a great one so we were just happy that Christy had come through with the tickets. What we didn’t expect was to be sitting in the 13th row behind the Golden State Warriors bench and opposite Floyd Mayweather, who was sitting courtside. Billy Crystal and Jay-Z were there, too. In fact, Jay-Z owns the Brooklyn Nets and even he would rather watch someone else play, goes to show how bad the Nets are this year!
Besides a couple of drunk douches in front of us who felt the need to stand, even when nothing much was happening and threatened to fight anyone who asked them to sit, we had an incredible time! It was a fast-paced game and Anna, due to sitting so close to the action, still can’t believe how big NBA players really are, especially DeAndre Jordan! I just made one small mistake; I inadvertently wore a Warriors-coloured jacket to a Clippers home game and received a few glares and comments as we were exiting.
Cheers for the tickets, Christy, we owe you big time.
Friday was a nice, relaxing day. We figured that, while we were staying in the O.C, we should hang out at the beach, Laguna Beach in this case.
Anna drove her auntie, uncle and myself to Laguna Beach and our first stop was The Deck for lunch. For my fellow Australians, the easiest comparison to make to beaches in Orange County is Byron Bay; The beaches and surrounding towns are full of hippies, stoners and surfers, both young and retired. We spent the afternoon walking around, looking at all of the small, local stores, then met back up with Bob and Susan to catch the sunset (right), before we went back to Michelle’s place. After that it was down to the Golf Club for dinner and then some drinks back at Michelle’s house with her neighbour.
Our second day at the beach soon came to an end and it was time for dinner with Anna’s cousin, Tina, her husband, Chuck, and their son, Evan. We saw them briefly when we arrived on Tuesday, but this was our first chance to see them properly.
We had had a nice day and hanging out with Tina, Chuck and Evan was a lot of fun, but we had to go back to Michelle’s place to pack for our return to New York.
We flew back to New York from LAX, this time on a flight that had free movies, but lacked seats that reclined.
We arrived in New York and were greeted by the siren song of emergency vehicles and car horns, coupled with the fragrant, aromatic mix of garbage juice and urine and it felt like home. We didn’t end up doing any of the things we had planned, the Hoover Dam, an Anaheim Ducks game, Universal Studios, but it was still a fun trip.
We liked California, we really did, but we are both so glad that we never ended up living there. It is an extremely inconvenient place to be, so spread out with next to no public transport, leaving you with no option but to drive to the closest shop, which will probably close early, anyway.
*So, no, I don’t rank California über alles (“above all”), it’s just a song by a band I have always loved, Dead Kennedys.

This Brief sets out the GLAA’s new approach to determining when a compliance inspection will be conducted.
In our compliance strategy, we have committed to inspecting every licence-holder over a rolling five-year period. Currently, the GLAA will consider intelligence reports when determining if an inspection is required. We have devised a new approach so that we can deliver more inspections. This means that we will schedule an inspection if we come across any of the indicators set out below. We will also carry out several random inspections each year to ensure that workers are not being exploited and businesses remain compliant with the Licensing Standards. We are also exploring the use of other compliance activities such as spot checks and thematic reviews.
This is exploitation of workers and could indicate other areas of non‑compliance.

b**p | a blog by young people in gatesheadDerren Brown's The Push - Will it change you?
Could wearing the wrong clothes to an event and mislabelling vegetarian food lead you to push somebody to their death? Would gradually escalating social pressure drive you to blindly obey a total stranger? Would you pretend to be someone who you knew was dead?
If you answered no to everything, you may change your answers after watching Netflix special The Push.
The Push is a psychological experiment orchestrated by sociologist and mentalist Derren Brown, designed to socially condition an unsuspecting businessman, Chris, into committing a series of crimes and eventually murder.
The aim of this is to find out which contestants were suggestible and which ones were more likely to think for themselves.
Once Brown had selected Chris, his team spent the next few months preparing hundreds of actors, creating a hyper-realistic corpse, and coming up with the story of Bernie- a millionaire with a chronic heart condition.
Without giving too much away, Chris is gradually made more and more dependant on a character called Tom who takes him under his wing at the charity event. Despite only meeting with Tom at a business meeting once before the event, Chris soon becomes very reliant on him to the point where he obeys his every command. It starts off simple: Tom asks Chris to put vegetarian labels on sausage rolls that they both know contain meat. This small act, followed by Tom subtly bossing Chris round by asking him to carry bag and fetch champagne, leads to Chris helping him move Bernie’s corpse. Despite being reluctant, Chris barely objects to this very illegal and immoral demand.
As the evening goes on, the situation becomes more intense and uncomfortable as Chris is then persuaded to impersonate and deliver Bernie’s speech. Tom’s demands become worse as the show goes on as Chris becomes visibly stressed and scared. In the end, there’s one last demand that comes from another of the partygoers- push a man off a roof. Will Chris blindly obey or will he regain control of his decisions?
The ending is a major twist that no one will see coming.
The Push is one of the greatest and most nerve-wracking psychology shows ever created. Perhaps the intensity of the show comes from how deeply you’re forced to relate the experiment back to yourself. You constantly tell yourself that you would never be so easily manipulated but the truth is, you will never know how you’d react in such a situation unless it actually happened to you.
The only thing we can be certain of is that no one in their right mind should ever audition for a Derren Brown show. | 547 |
Scientists have discovered water about 1 000 km (620 miles) below the Earth's surface. The discovery suggests our planet's mantle may contain much more water, and at much bigger depths, than previously thought.
The water reservoir was found about one-third of the way to the edge of Earth's core. The presence of the water was indicated by a 90 million years old diamond spat, at a volcano situated near the São Luíz river in Juina, Brazil.
According to Steve Jacobsen, at the Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, the discovery implies an existence of a much bigger water reservoir on Earth than previously thought.
A sealed-off inclusion of the diamond contains minerals which were trapped when it was being formed. The examination carried out by the infrared microscopy revealed the presence of hydroxyl ions, associated with the presence of water. The inclusion made of a ferropericlase mineral allowed the researchers to deduce the depth of diamond's formation.
The mineral contains iron and magnesium oxide and is capable of absorbing chromium, aluminum, and titanium at very high temperatures and pressures usual for the planet's lower mantle. These components have separated from the mineral itself, in a process which happens as the diamond edges up through shallower regions. However, their presence indicates the diamond must have been formed in a much more dynamic environment, typical of the Earth's lower mantle.
“Based on the composition of the trapped mineral, we speculate that the depth was around 1 000 km (621.4 miles). This is the deepest evidence for water recycling on the planet. The big take-home message is that the water cycle on Earth is bigger than we ever thought, extending into the deep mantle.” said Jacobsen.
The researchers have found large amounts of water mixed with rocks previously, at depths of about 600 km (372.8 miles) from the surface. However, the scientists are still not sure how much water is down there exactly, and how was it formed. One theory suggests the water could have been present in the mantle for more than 90 million years, and it may have settled down through the process of sedimentary oceanic crust burrowing when primitive tectonic plates moved against each other.
“Water clearly has a role in plate tectonics, and we didn’t know before how deep these effects could reach. It has implications for the origin of water on the planet,” explained Jacobsen.
The new study implies the cycling of subducted materials, and the scientists hope further research will aid them in understanding how our planet recycles itself and provide more information about how the Earth's oceans and atmosphere formed.

Picked up a Dublin to see my boyfriend at the time. We were tired of long distance so we understood that this was going to be one of the last times we saw each other. Took the train out to Howth, bought a bottle of champagne and OJ and just chilled on the beach enjoying the sun and each others company. When we were about to leave we decided to walk down the beach a little further and happened upon a day rave thrown by some Brazilians. Ended up dancing for a few hours, missed our dinner plans and just ordered in. Will always be a fond memory. | 121 |
Hospitality workers beware: Are super fees and charges eating away your retirement nest egg?
Calling all young hospitality workers! How would you like to earn an extra $100,000? It’s a no brainer, right? That extra $100,000 could be all yours if you just take the time to minimise your super fees and charges now while you’re still in your 20s, rather than waiting until later in your working career.
For most people, working multiple jobs through college is not unusual, but it probably means you’ve got multiple small super balances tucked away in multiple funds.
Likewise, if you’ve worked in a host of hospitality jobs in a number of companies to gain experience and on-the-job skills, you’ve probably picked up a slew of super funds to go with that experience.
With that slew of super funds comes multiple super fees and charges.
While it may be difficult for you to even contemplate retiring as you embark upon your working life, not having a long-distance lens will cost you dearly.
Having multiple super funds typically with multiple super fees and charges means your retirement funds are under the threat of being eaten away by multiple admin expenses and insurance double-ups. If you have five accounts, you’ll be paying a yearly admin fee on each account each year so you’re paying five times the amount of fees for no reason.
Having $5000 tucked away in another super will not add to your nest egg. Sadly, the longer you leave it, the longer it will just tread water.
On the other hand, if you take action and consolidate your funds into one account now, that $5000 could easily be worth more $100,000 when you retire. A lump sum in one account rather than small sums in multiple accounts equals more interest for you in the long run.
As we highlighted in a recent post, the power of time combined with compound interest is all yours for the taking. As such an important part of your future, you need to pay attention to your super now and make the time to get your super fees and charges sorted now while you still have time to make changes that count.
Think about where you want to be in five or 10 years’ time. By doing this kind of thinking now, you will be much further down the track and hitting your super goals if you get it sorted now. Try ASIC’s super calculator to work out the additional contributions you’ll need to make in order to reach your super goals. Then, you can largely set and forget.
The more you can grow your super while working while you’re younger , the more comfortable your lifestyle will be when you retire.
We’re talking about those multiple small balance funds in multiple accounts that were set up for you in all those jobs you’ve had at uni and beyond. It’s highly likely that your money is sitting in an account treading water and at the mercy of fees.
If you have super with multiple funds, by consolidating them into one account, you’ll save on fees and charges that could be eating into your balance. Before you do, double check for exit or termination fees.
Picking the right fund to grow your super is important because over the years, small differences in fees and returns can make a large difference in the amount you will retire with. By switching your super into a more growth-focused investment option may be a better option for you in your early career.
Remember, as soon as you are in full time employment and your employer is paying for your super, you need to get on top of it and make it work as hard as possible for you for as long as possible.

We dont learn about anyone else, but You will find never – never ever – utilized promiscuity as a disagreement against same-sex wedding. Mens aspects is male qualities, aside from which gender he or she is keen on. Both direct and gay boys have to battle their own natures being excellent boys. The male is a lot more activated because optical than ladies were – regardless if the thing of the enjoyment is identical love-making or opposite gender.
Do the case with the today defunct Playgirl newspaper. Journals chock-full of naked anyone dont curiosity females everything they are doing boys.
Exactly what promescuity is related to however this is beyond me.
With out one is questioning gay everyone the right to lasting relationships. I sure am definitely not. Exactly where exactly can this be happening? Homosexuals can remain with each other if they decide, just like straight visitors can. The challenge we have found redefining relationships – not just banning connections.
I’m regretful, but, pleasantly, there isn’t any hypocrisy below.
The vast majority of investigations reveal that intimate positioning is actually an innate quality based on genetic makeup. The fact is you can find inherited mark that were determined which are particular to gays. It seems that erectile assortment is definitely part of total real person assortment, and it is not so much of an option as Christian dogma shows.
Talking for my self merely, i actually do genuinely believe that there are certainly those people who are “hard-wired” for interested in identically love-making. I have certainly. In my opinion it’s oblivious to mention that homosexuals are actively opting to stay therefore. I do, but additionally think that there are certainly those people that would make the choice to take part in homosexual behavior. Thus, I do think that sexual habit, in part, is dependent upon earth.
Most interesting is that you simply presents text “diversity” below – an orgasmic keyword to today’s Leftist which has been hijacked and made among the important excitement terms of modern day liberalism.
What intimate assortment have you raving about?
One is either sexually keen on the exact same love or don’t – and ninety per cent will not be.
I’m wanting to know … If ten everyone stood prior to you and nine were gay, will you try it a diverse bunch?
I determine visitors there are certainly three types religious people. There are the faithful exactly who have confidence in the absence of facts. Uncover the fundamentalists just who rely on spite of this basic facts, so there will be the buffs that attempted to ruin the truth, individuals and corporations who argue because of their philosophies.
Here you reduce me personally, Matthew, aith all due respect.
There certainly is the maximum amount of “faith” in secularism since there is in faith – whether it is the assumption in goodness and the notion about the arena simply gone wrong to arise unintentionally. Both call for tremedous quantities of religion. In my experience, technology and a belief in goodness are usually in not a chance contradictory, nor as long as they getting. I disagree with individuals who see them mutually special.
The Bible doesn’t are present as a perfect traditional record or a health-related magazine. It is present as a sort of handbook forever, to be colloquial, providing forward to humanity ethical monotheism – the legislation of Almighty Jesus.
Just as, scientific publications normally do not are present to show principles, morals or recognize for humankind distinctions between between great and wicked.
I have discovered that people with the actual deepest faith accept the fact that with opinion are Biker dating review offered worries. A lot more instances than not, but secularists consult genuine certitude on number of presence.
I’m focused on the benefits of people, and I also haven’t any factor to highly doubt basically, Matthew, are a good people. Due to the truth that your own respond to the original bit had been emptiness of venom or private activities (unlike some) helps make me think you happen to be.
How can you bring an example?
The team Jesus on his own spoke out against were the hypocrites. Jesus themselves mentioned anything about gender, or homosexuality. Peter, stated a few things within his writing, but this became different Peter who acknowledged Jesus, but was a convert after Jesus’ demise, in support of listened to the teachings used. The likelihood is his own writings shared his or her own prejudices, and a distorted feeling of exactly what Jesus taught. The scripture after all am provided by men and guys are perhaps not excellent.
You’re truly absolve to understand and postulate just what Peter got thought or creating in any way select. There are various, Matthew, just who recognize that the Torah, as an instance (the five literature of Moses), is the positively word-of Jesus. Orthodox Jews, in particular. The Torah contains the vast majority on the values that Jews and Christians get stayed by for millenia. Those principles, It’s my opinion, be caused by goodness.
Painless. You can recognize or disagree with me, but which is from just where your principles happen to be originating.
That Jesus would be hushed on homosexuality suggests what?
He was quiet on kid rape, as well.
He couldn’t discuss beastiality a whole lot possibly.
Jesus ended up being an attentive Jew. They adhered to the legislation of Judaism. To think that he wouldn’t have got believed that homosexuality am “the transgression” happens to be disingenuous.
I can not chat for any person more, but I don’t think homosexuals tends to be bad visitors or any decreased valuable from inside the attention of Lord than I am just (or any direct).
We managed to make it a place to help keep “The Tyranny of Equality” off from spiritual justifications, selecting alternatively to pay attention to federal government input in places it doesn’t belong.

It's about time they all did that. It's also important that places that serve as shelters for domestic abuse victims also take in their pets. Many time victims of domestic abuse can't leave because they can't leave a pet behind. There is a charity that started in Las Vegas that addresses that situation and serves as a place for not just human domestic violence victims but their animals as well. Honestly, society needs to understand that when people have pets, they are family members to them. Certain evacuation centers are starting to make arrangements so when they evacuate people they let them bring their pets with them. Some people wouldn't leave flood areas or other dangerous conditions if they couldn't bring their pets. I can't blame them.
I agree all states should have a database like for sex offenders. It could prevent the abusers from adopting from city or county shelters, or maybe anyone with animals for adoption or sale could access the database and background check for that.
I see a lot of what I consider abuse around here. Especially dogs tethered in backyards. We get more than our share of dumped dogs too. I hate to see it and I know when I see a dog looking lost and afraid, someone just threw it out the car.
I know there are some people who are just ignorant in how to care for pets or don't look at them as part of the family, but as something to stick in the back yard to deter criminals. I've also heard about the connection between animal torture and serial killers/psychopathic behavior--very scary.
I do believe there are two branches of this charity, one in the southern states and one in the Oregon/Washington area. Bless their hearts, every one.
I've had that same wish for years too--wishing for a windfall so I'd be able to give it away to help dogs have proper fenced yards and not be chained up. Another organization I saw on a TV series if the Guardians on Animal Planet. They are in the north: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. They help all kinds of animals. There was one episode that had a Rottweiler named Jasper. He was the sweetest boy. I hope they return for season 2. It is the most wonderful thing to see how a dog who has been chained his whole life be set free to enjoy his new fenced area. I cried during every episode.
Can't stop watching the fences for fido videos! and crying my eyes out watching the dogs running around free and happy in their new fenced yards.
Sorry about that.... I did that too.... it's such an amazing charity... and one where you actually can see your donation at work.... it's a beautiful thing to get those dogs off of chains. How people can own and treat their dogs like that and think it's normal is incredibly sad.
Oh no apology necessary. I love a good "happy" cry at something heartwarming.

To 70 ppm), aimed at advertising development of bacterial Cholesteryl sulfate Metabolic Enzyme/Protease species that tolerated PS. Additional, aliquots from these PS-added grown cultures had been analyzed in solid culture medium for identifying by far the most abundant bacterial species which survived in presence of PS (see Materials and Approaches, Section 2.2). Amongst the isolates grown on agar, those with all the greatest prospective for biodegradation of phenolic compounds had been recognized. Table three lists the names and main morphological functions on the most abundant species isolated in Petri dishes containing common medium (TSB or LB) supplemented with PS. In summary, 6 bacterial species were identified, of which the 2 predominant ones belonged on the Pseudomonas genus and 1 to Alcaligenes genus, using the genetic skill to metabolize hydrocarbons together with phenol, in accordance to published functions [11,29]. These findings were in agreement using the outcomes obtained fromProcesses 2021, 9,9 ofthe enormous sequencing analysis. Accordingly, P. putida along with a. faecalis were proposed to type a bacterial consortium, and its potential to degrade phenolic components current within the PS was determined. The isolation of microorganisms in plates with a sound medium containing PS resulted within the following findings: (i) the applied culture media was handy to preserve the microbial species present while in the phenolic stream (TSB medium and LB medium additional with PS); and (ii) we could isolate and identify essentially the most abundant species possessing genetic sources to survive the presence of a complex mix of phenolic compounds.Table 3.

The so-formed consortium showed far better development during the LB and TSB medium (data not shown). The biodegradation experiments were carried out in synthetic culture media, fundamentally composed of water, aliquots of PS and, in some instances, nutrients, as described from the Materials and Techniques section.

Christmas is very nearly upon us so how are all your Christmas preparations coming along? Mine are still coming along… slowly but they might get faster next week. Since becoming self-employed there is one thing I really miss… a Christmas work doo/party or whatever you want to call it and tonight I am kinda having a little christmas gathering with my uni buddies. They all had their Christmas work doo’s and no we are not meeting up because they feel sorry for me! It is because it is one of our birthdays!
Tonight we are off ice skating at Somerset House (yes, where London Fashion Week happens). When it was first suggested I thought what a GREAT idea. I love roller skating and I can ice skate however whenever these activities take place I have always been with my husband because he is a really good skater. He used to do extreme skating. Well basically any sport that involves a hint of danger or death, he is there! So, I am starting to feel slightly uneasy about the fact I am going skating without him and I can totally see myself having a Bambi on ice situation. Knowing me I will probably fall flat on my face, my glasses will fly off then someone will skate over them and break them.
Maybe my imagination is running a bit wild but I am genuinely concerned as it would go down in history as one of my most embarrassing moments. This brings me to my next dilemma- wear or not to wear glasses tonight? Firstly, I don’t want to break my glasses on the ice (as a matter of fact I don’t ever want to break any of my glasses). Secondly look at poor Bambi in the image above- that could be me!
I have asked my twitter followers to discuss this and the advice was to hang onto the rail and never let go or if I fall make sure I grab someone and take them down with me (that’s a bit mean- maybe?). OR I can strap the glasses to my head. As I am writing this, I am still undecided whether to wear glasses or not. Don’t worry if I am not wearing glasses I will be wearing contact so I can see! Very important! What would you do fellow specs wearers?
On that note I will let you know how I get on next week, have a nice weekend! Oh and if you are out shopping then good luck! Get your elbows out at the ready!

injuries on your property.
There is also information about what you can do if a dispute with your neighbour makes you fear for your safety.
Disputes between neighbours can have a serious effect on everyday life, but going to court is often not the best way to solve a problem. Legal intervention can be expensive and can take a long time. It can also damage your relationship with your neighbour.
If you and your neighbour can’t reach agreement, dispute resolution may be an easier, quicker and cheaper way to resolve matters.
If you are a property owner, you and your neighbour have equal responsibility for the dividing fence between your properties.
Discuss the work that needs to be done with your neighbour first. If you can make decisions together and agree to share any expenses, get this agreement in writing.
Legally you are required to contribute to a fence that is sufficient for the purpose it is needed. If your neighbour wants a more expensive fence, they will usually have to pay the difference in cost between a sufficient dividing fence and the higher standard.
For more information about your responsibilities see the Dispute Settlement of Victoria’s website.
If you and your neighbour can’t agree, you can contact the Dispute Settlement Centre of Victoria for advice and a range of free and confidential dispute resolution services.
You can also serve your neighbour a Fencing notice. This is a legal document in writing asking them to share the cost to repair or replace a fence.
If you still can’t agree after 30 days from the date you served your neighbour with a Fencing notice, you can go the Magistrates' Court so a magistrate can make a decision. You need to complete the court’s Complaint (fencing dispute) Form 5A. Get legal advice before you decide to take the matter to court.
In most cases the owners of the properties are responsible for repairing or replacing a fence. A renter may have to contribute in commercial situations where they have a lease that has five years or more before it expires.
The landlord may ask the tenant to pay for damage to a fence if they caused the damage.
Property owners are responsible for branches that overhang a neighbour’s fence or roots that grow onto neighbouring property. If these cause damage or affect the neighbour’s enjoyment of their property, the neighbour can take the property owner to court. If branches from your neighbour’s trees hang over your side of the fence, you can cut off the overhanging branches and place them on the neighbour's side of the fence. Discuss this with your neighbour first – they may be happy to do it themselves. If this is not practical, you can ask the neighbour to get a professional to lop the branches for you.
The same rules apply for tree roots, which can cause damage to plumbing and foundations. Expert opinions from plumbers or engineers are often needed to resolve disputes about what is causing the damage. Once you know what is causing it, and if it is something coming from the neighbour's land, a simple discussion may resolve things.
See the Victoria Law Foundation’s website for more information on tree laws.
The Dispute Settlement Centre of Victoria can help you if you and your neighbour can’t agree.
If the matter still can’t be resolved, the Magistrates' Court can hear the case, but this can be expensive and take a long time.
Generally there are council by-laws to resolve problems caused by unreasonable noise levels from cars, dogs that bark constantly and lawn mowers, power tools, air conditioners and musical instruments. Contact your local council to find out what the rules are in your area.
Noise restrictions apply to particular times of day. The Environment Protection Authority has information about the prohibited times for residential noise.
See the The Law Handbook by the Fitzroy Legal Service Inc. for more information on noise restrictions and complaints.
It’s always best to try to resolve the problem by talking with your neighbour first. The Dispute Settlement Centre of Victoria has information about resolving your own dispute.
Many of the laws about pets are made by local councils. For example, councils can decide how many dogs you can keep on your property and whether or not you can keep chooks. Check with your local council about the laws that apply in your area.
if a dog attacks another person or animal – the penalty depends on how serious the attack is and whether the dog has attacked before – the council may seize and destroy the dog.
Dog and cats are not allowed to wander onto another person’s property. Wandering dogs and cats may be seized by the property owner or the council. If the owner does not collect the animal or if the council believes the dog may be dangerous, the dog could be destroyed.
For more information about dog offences see Dog matters.
See the Victoria Law Foundation’s brochure on Dogs, cats, neighbours and you.
If you have a problem with a neighbour’s pet, try talking to the neighbour before making a formal complaint.
If doesn’t fix the problem, your local council can speak to your neighbour on your behalf and may also take the matter to court. The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning can help to find your local council.
If someone is injured on a property you own or rent, you are legally responsible for any injuries suffered. This includes injuries to friends or tradespeople working on the house.
There are exceptions to this. For instance, people who are illegally on the property will not usually be able to sue for injuries they may suffer.
In some circumstances, landlords can also be responsible if they are not keeping the house in good repair. If they have 'occupier's liability' insurance this should cover injuries suffered by tenants or anyone else using or visiting the property. If they don’t have insurance, the injured person can go to court and make a claim for damages. They will have to prove that the owner was negligent. Get legal advice.
The law will take into account whether or not the cause of the injury was known before the injury happened. For example, an injury caused by a broken step that needed repair is different from an injury resulting from a wiring defect that was impossible to detect.
your property is damaged.
You can apply for a personal safety intervention order at any Magistrates’ Court in Victoria. However, if you have a non-violent dispute, the court will encourage you to try mediation. For more information about how to apply see Personal safety intervention orders.

username_0: Hi There,
I'm currently using the ember-cli project which has a dependency for broccoli-sass using 0.3.3.
Is there a way I can build it or will there be a versino published that uses node-sass 2.0.0-beta?
<issue_comment>username_1: ember-cli-sass has a beta version that uses node-sass 2.0.0-beta. That's
what we're using.
<issue_comment>username_0: Awesome!! Would you mind indicating the dependency?
<issue_comment>username_1: `npm install --save-dev ember-cli-sass@3.1.0-beta` should do it.<issue_closed> | 212 |
The Entrepo WaferDrive was released in fall 1984 and at the time it was released in the intention to be a direct replacement for the Vic-20 and Commodore 64 Cassette Deck. It offered load speeds of 10x faster Cassette drives and 3x faster the 1541 disk drive. The Drawback of this little drive was that it could only save your own programs from cassette and 1541 disk drive, and QOS used memory locations C000 to D000 which most programmers used as their default memory. It’s DOS called QOS was easy to use and very little memory was taken from the C64 or Vic-20. The first production drives came in 3 versions which one of them had a cartridge for its QOS, and solved the problem of memory locations C000, but later to reduce the costs the cartridge version was omitted. The media used where called Microwafers and they looked like tiny cartridges. Inside the cartridge there was a looped tape similar to the 8mm track tapes used in the 70’s for audio, joining and marking the beginning and the end of the loop, there was a very small part of the tape coated in silver, which produced a high pitch tone when the tape head passed over it marking the end of the tape.
The Microwafer had to be formatted in order to be used, and when formatted a directory was created so program names had to be unique on the drive. When you delete a program from the Microwafer it was not completely removed but just the name in the directory was deleted leaving the program on the Microwafer hidden from the user. You can tell that the program was still resident on the Microwafer by the size of used bytes in the directory. This was a problem for most users as that space was not available anymore and to regain access to that space, one had to reformat the Microwafer again. There was no workaround for Entrepo for this as the programs where saved one after each other just the same as multiple programs on a cassette tape. The drive had two speeds; the fast speed was to fast forward the Microwafer to the beginning of the tape, which in turn the head had to sense the silver tape, and fetching of the program using the gaps between each program save. The other speed was used to load the programs. The Microwafer came in variety of sizes, 16k, 32k, 64k and 128k. There were the 196K but they tended to break easily and the speed was reduced drastically due to the drive fetching the beginning of the tape and programs. The best Microwafer was considered the 32k as you still have decent speed and fetching of programs in 3 to 5 seconds. Commercial programs were also available but very little software was released in this format as the drive was not a great hit.
The initial price tag at the time was £89 but later sold for £60, compared to the 1541 with a price tag of £240 it was cheap but software houses were very skeptical about the Microwafer tape and said that it can break easily, and were afraid of ending up with a pile of Microwafers returned by their clients. This was also the concern of most users who bought the drive, which pushed other potential buyers not to buy it at all and made the drive not to sell.
Today the drive is very requested by collectors not to use it but just to own it. It’s true that the Microwafer tape breaks inside, but this happens because the tape inside is more than 20 years old and the adhesive used to bound both ends of the tape to the silver strip has deteriorated. 99% of the time the tape snaps from the silver marker while passing the head in the drive. There is a way to fix this the Microwafer which we did it quite a few times to fix them. Using silver contact tape and by replacing the silver part of the tape it worked perfectly. Our drives are used quite often and have no problems at all. There is another method by joining the silver part to the other end with nail polish and leave it to dry for 48 Hrs. The difficult part in both methods is to pass the tape back to its original position inside the cartridge, but if the silver tape is damaged you need to use the first method or the drive will not detect where is the start and end of the tape and keeps spinning in the drive until the timeout triggers that there is a problem with the Microwafer. | 917 |
How certainty and doubt at the sentence level are rhetorically deployed.
How we can look at sentences to see writing as a knowledge-making activity and use this perspective in revision.
Sometimes, students are too certain in their writing, trying to will their way toward knowledge rather than write their way there, typically by using words like: really, very, clearly, obviously. Or, sentences become overloaded to fit in information that needs to be expanded upon. Sometimes, also, they are not certain enough and need to be more direct and confident about what they know.
Having students try to find sentences in published writing that is on a spectrum of certainty and uncertainty helps them think about how they communicate confidently—whether they are certain or unsure. Being purposefully uncertain, for instance, is different from being unconfidently certain.
And, perhaps most importantly, having students think about where they are certain or uncertain can be generative for future revisions that allow them to further refine what they are attempting to know through their writing. By the end of the lesson, the hope is that students—via a notion of certainty—begin to see how the ways they choose words and arrange sentences can have an impact on the way they are makers of knowledge.
Homework. For homework due before this lesson begins, have students select a text from another class (preferably their major, if they are declared) and ask them to find two sentences: One sentence that, to them, feels like the writer is communicating certainty, and a second sentence that, to them, they feel expresses doubt. It could be any text as long as it has to do with the class’s discipline: textbook, journal article, blog post, etc. Have them write a rationale for their choosing those sentences; typically they might point to specific word choice, sentence structure, rhetorical devices.
Discussion of Homework. In class, build a discussion around what moves writers make to signal certainty or uncertainty (example question: “what aspects of the sentences you chose made you think they were attempting to appear certain or uncertain? Let’s list them up on the board”). You might also do a think-pair-share or some freewriting prior to discussion to warm them up before a large-group assembly of your class list based on the homework assignment results. While comparing responses among the class, you could use this time to talk about different conventions of different disciplines, and why those conventions might exist (e.g., statistical writing has to include many qualified statements [or should] when dealing with samples that cannot be generalized to broader populations).
Frequently writing words like ‘really,’ ‘very,’ ‘obviously,’ etc. actually makes someone sound less certain.
Adding a clause that qualifies a statement may make writing feel more uncertain but it also might be a confident argumentative move that anticipates and acknowledges counter-claims.
Adding sentences or clauses that admit lack of complete knowledge or need for more research can add credibility to a writer.
A punchy simple sentence can feel much more certain than a wordy, modifier-laden sentence trying to do the same work.
Looking at Student Writing. After the class has finished a list characteristics of what communicates certainty and uncertainty, and why, then next step is to have them look at an in-progress draft they are currently working on.
Before digging into their own writing, start to discuss how certainty and uncertainty in a draft of writing might signal places for revision. Are these purposeful rhetorical moves or are they signs that more work needs to be done? For instance, does the use of “really” or a sentence with three dependent clauses tip us off to anything we are struggling with knowing as a writer? Sometimes the use of the word “very” or “obviously” is used for stylistic emphasis. Sometimes a sentence with a series of qualifying dependent clauses adds necessary context for a complicated topic. Sometimes, too, these moments at the sentence level are a “tell” that there is more to work through in our thinking on the page.
During the remaining time in class, ask students to make these considerations while looking back at their in-progress piece of writing. Have them find one sentence that they feel shows certainty or uncertainty and ask them to rewrite that sentence or expand on it to make it more or less certain, followed by partner discussion about how it does or does not fit into the ecology of their larger paper. Ask them to be ready to explain why they made changes they made, and if time, have a few people share.

Emart’s Flying Store floats around malls offering free wifi and easy access to Emart’s retail site.
The way that convenience retailers operate in Asia, using customer insight to shape their offer to a level unprecedented in the Western markets, is starting to make businesses in the latter economies really sit up and take notice. Asian retailers’ assortment and adjacencies are all driven by the lifestyle needs of the shopper – unlike many of their European counterparts – with legacy pricing models that prioritize cost and efficiency in store operations.
Cheil Worldwide works extensively in South Korea, where convenience grew by 15.6 percent in 2012 and is shaping up to have had another bumper year in 2013. That’s significantly faster than direct retail, including online, which grew by 12.5 percent in the same period. Why? Primarily, because these retailers are delivering real convenience for their customers. They understand what customers want and how much they’re prepared to pay.
But perhaps more interesting is their eye for the future, based on the changing shopping habits and expectations of retail. More than 20 percent of Koreans in their 20s now shop via smartphone, and that’s where some of the most interesting work is being done: to unite the mobile device with the store.
Korean retailers are starting to deliver for a customer who sees the smartphone as the primary tool for shopping, and therefore now expects retail to be three things: Everywhere, Instant, and Personal.
For example, virtual stores in Seoul subway stations have become the global benchmark of Everywhere retail. The store is indicative of how South Korean retailers continue to redefine the shopping experience, and the idea has since been borrowed by businesses across the globe.
But when that virtual store was started in 2011, only 11.9 percent of South Koreans shopped with a smartphone according to a Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) study in May 2013. Last year, it was a colossal 62.6 percent.
Seoul is the eleventh biggest city on the planet with more than 25 million people in the greater metropolitan area, most of whom have a smart device that enables them to shop anywhere. So it is no surprise that many retailers who want to engage today’s agile consumers are looking to South Korea for inspiration. Fast adoption of 4G and in-store wifi opportunities are driving this new approach to retail, and offer businesses the opportunity to engage with shoppers in different and really exciting ways.
For one, people now have access to endless information to answer any questions they might have – and that means they’re making more educated choices about brands and products. Mobile is all about searching, shopping, and sharing.
Retailers are also starting to realign their loyalty, promotion, and even payments through the mobile device. And finally, the mobile has replaced the land bank in the retail space race. Location is no longer about a store in every community, but a shopping app on every phone.
For example, Emart’s sales navigation tool enables shoppers to locate the best offers in-store with their smartphones: they just set their phones into a shopping trolley and are navigated to the aisle containing the product they were after. Smartphones genuinely enhance the in-store experience.
Emart also offers the Flying Store – helium-filled balloons that float around malls offering free wifi to shoppers (plus, of course, easy access to Emart’s own online retail site).
KCCI research in 2013 showed decreased fall-out ratio in Korea, the ratio of people who search product information using smartphones but purchase via computer or at offline stores. The number of people who searched for product information using smartphones but bought using computers was 70.5 percent in 2012 but fell to 66.4 percent last year. Those who bought at offline shops after searching with smartphones also fell, from 38.5 percent to 29.0 percent.
According to the Chamber, this is mainly due to improved shopping applications, simpler payment processes, and various discount offers for smartphone shoppers.
Through mobile, Korean retailers are able to offer shopping in any location, at any time, with a level of personalisation that, up until recently, most retailers could only dream of. It’s truly becoming Everywhere, Instant, and Personal, and that’s why the eyes of the global retail industry are on Korea to see what it does next. In a very real sense, this market is shaping the entire world. | 914 |
Baraboo, Wis. – This morning, PETA fired off a letter to Christian Øverland, the director and CEO of the Wisconsin Historical Society, which operates the old Circus World Museum, reminding him that the rest of the country has moved on, recognizing elephants as highly intelligent beings deserving of our respect, not of servitude, and urging him to right a historical wrong by ending the annual summer circus’s demeaning, abusive wild-animal acts.
The action follows a PETA investigation revealing that two elderly elephants, Isa and Viola, were forced to perform at Circus World every day, despite showing signs of foot and joint problems. Both elephants shifted weight off their hind legs for significant periods, which could indicate discomfort caused by arthritis or other conditions. The video shows that their hind feet were often swollen, and Isa had misshapen toenails, which can be a serious problem for elephants. Painful foot and joint problems are among the leading reasons why captive elephants are euthanized. Regardless, Isa was forced to give rides before and after every show observed by PETA’s investigator, while a handler threatened her with a bullhook (a weapon resembling a fireplace poker with a sharp metal hook on one end). A worker admitted on video that the elephants were kept chained throughout the night.
Isa and Viola come from Carson & Barnes Circus, whose head trainer was caught on camera instructing other trainers to sink a bullhook into elephants’ flesh and twist it until they scream. Carson & Barnes has racked up over 100 violations of the federal Animal Welfare Act, including while at Circus World, where it used an elephant who was so thin that her hip bones were protruding and failed to notice that another elephant was lame. | 356 |
The conference theme was “Who Confides, Wins: Rallying at Our Lady’s Feet for Her Triumph.” It could not have been more apropos as participants stood up to welcome the International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima that unexpectedly visited the event.
Tradition, Family, Property—Louisiana held its 2018 Regional Conference at its headquarters in Lafayette, Louisiana on February 17. Over 80 friends and supporters came from throughout the state and neighboring Texas. The honored guest, of course, was the Blessed Mother as represented by her pilgrim statue.
Speaker James Bascom, who works at the TFP’s Washington Bureau, presented his talk, “The Spirit of Hollywood vs. The Spirit of the Cross.” Citing commentaries of TFP founder Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, Mr. Bascom stressed the need to be friends of the Cross as the best way to carry out the counter-revolutionary fight. TFP member Ben Broussard, a Louisiana native, delivered the excellent talk, “Resistance is Fidelity, Not Rebellion.” Mr. Broussard recalled examples from Church history of those who have faithfully resisted the promoters of bad doctrine and customs.
Local TFP supporter Marie Sallinger presented an invitation for the ladies in the audience to participate in Lady Day. Promoted by the Return to Order campaign, Lady Day asks ladies nationwide to visit a Marian shrine and to get together with other ladies to celebrate the purity and goodness of true womanhood on March 8. The date is meant to answer with elegance the vulgar commemoration of International Woman’s Day by feminists. The proposal was met with much interest by ladies that hope to organize local events.
Elias Bartel, who was the master of ceremonies, presented an impressive summary of TFP activities in 2017. He was also pleased to announce the coming expansion of TFP-Louisiana with a new center in New Orleans.
The well-organized event was full of opportunities to meet new friends and old. There were plenty of refreshments, much conversation and an optional wine and cheese get-together after the talks. Everyone was happy that they had confided and come to the conference. They were rewarded with an opportunity to pray before Our Lady’s statue for all their future actions for her cause.

Looks like we're staring down the barrel of a severe storm.
75MPH winds and TWO INCH hail. So far this year, all the big storms have slid by either slightly North or South of us.
This one is bearing down on us.
ANNNND....it passed by with only some "moth ball" sized hail, and ~20 minutes of heavy rain.
There were severe storm warnings popping up all over the area, and at one time there were 4 tornado warnings.
When the NWS declares this to be "A Dangerous Storm" on the emergency warnings they break into radio stations with, I sit up and listen......
Just back from a shopping run. Intense 30 minutes sitting in my truck along with twenty or so others under the Safeway gas pump canopy. Marble sized hail.
We got some moth ball sized stuff, and about 20 minutes of heavy rain, then it cleared.
The NWS is still calling for a 70% chance of thunderstorms, but looks like everything slid by us again.

<issue_start><issue_comment>Title: train-test split
username_0: What did we decide about the train-test split? Was it the last 5 years that were reserved for evaluation? Sorry if I'm just missing it---I don't see anything about it in either of the notebooks or in the core functions.
<issue_comment>username_1: Yes, it's the last 5 years. It should be the `lag` optional argument in the temporal forecasting function.
<issue_comment>username_1: I would also like to do a last 10 years analysis as well, so if we could run both that would be great.<issue_closed>
<issue_comment>username_0: Got it. Thanks. | 158 |
After reading Tieka’s intentions, I really admired how honest and candid she was about her progress. I feel like she’s almost left us a road map of sorts to help us overcome some of the same obstacles she’s faced in the past.
I run a personal style blog, Selective Potential, and when I started – I had no idea where I was going with it… or how to even start, but I just went for it. I set it up the best I knew how and started networking and working hard. It was day in and day out on the blog, making it better each and every day and all of those hard working days turned into months of amazing success. I was so intimidated by such high powered fashion bloggers – I always thought to myself, “I could never afford that!” or “I could never pull that off.” It’s not about that. Running my blog – I just put myself out there – with my budget, my life restrictions and try to inspire others through what I’m able to do. I always try to put my best work into the blog – I truly think it all out – and then I just go for it! Most of the time, I get an amazing response from readers and truly feel accomplished with what I have done!
I found that I used to “out of control”. I didn’t have a good grasp on time management, or what I should be doing with my life. I found that once I tried to make every second of my day count – the day ended and I felt amazing about how I spent my time and how the next day kept looking better and better! Last year, I lost 35 pounds following the Weight Watchers program. Prior to starting the program, I found myself stressed, busy, with no motivation to wake up in the mornings causing me to be even more rushed and busy, I’d grab food without thinking about it, I’d put off homework to sit on the couch and complain about how I didn’t have it all together. Until, I was tired of that lifestyle! And my weight was the biggest thing holding me down. As soon as I was able to control my daily diet with Weight Watchers, I felt I could do anything. Losing weight made me a better student, a happier wife, a more motivated person to clean the apartment or to be active outside. I’d think of each activity as a bonus for the diet and at the end of it all, I found myself having a blast being busy, and active because it was all things I wanted to do with my life.
I grew up with people who complained left and right about our state, our town. “It’s awful here,” “There is nothing to do,” “It’s freezing,” “I hate everyone here,” whatever their excuse, it was unnecessary. And I used to be one of them, until I embraced my surroundings. I live in Michigan – a place not too exciting to the outsider – but as soon as I immersed myself into my surroundings, I fell in love with living here. And being in love with your location and your surroundings, changes your entire outlook on life. My husband, Brett, and I now take monthly adventures around our state to explore something new. I always try to incorporate something unique about Michigan into my fashion blog, by surrounding myself by interesting sculptures or gorgeous scenery. I’ve even found that putting myself into these settings has helped inspire my fashion sense! I feel like whenever I look at an outfit I put together, I think to myself, “That is so Michigan – so perfect for my little beach town!” It’s amazing the fun you can find in where you live, instead of wishing you were always somewhere else. Love where you are.
Surround yourself with genuine people. And most of the time, you’ll know if they are genuine or not. I used to surround myself with some of the worst people and I was never sure why. I knew they weren’t good people, but yet I still spent my time with them until after enough time passed – I still felt alone, like I didn’t actually have friends. I didn’t really get a good grasp on this until I met my husband, Brett. He was the most kind and most caring person I had ever met. Spending so much time with him makes me realize I wish I had spent more time with people like him my entire life. It would have been so much more fun and carefree and “drama”-free. He comes from an amazing family who makes my life so much more worthwhile. And granted, I don’t have many girlfriends – two very close ones – but I know they are both going to be there for me through everything. It’s not the quantity – but the quality of the relationships you have in your life.
I get countless emails from girls asking, “How did you get so many readers?” “How do you get so many comments?” “Why am I not getting comments or readers?” and my answer is always – don’t do something for others, always do it for yourself. When I started blogging, I had no idea what to expect. I blogged because I thought it looked fun, and it was a great hobby, for a keepsake – never to gain sponsors, or readers, or clicks, or whatever! In each one of my blog posts, I always think to myself – how do I want to remember this time period, what outfit do I want to wear while having fun, etc. Many of my blog posts back in November didn’t have many comments – but I put just as much hard work into those as I do now! It’s about yourself – if you’re not passionate about something, then it becomes a job and it loses its edge! So many people believe they can start something and it’s an instant success – it doesn’t work that way. I spent seven hour alone coming up with a blog name! I can’t even begin to tell you how many hours I’ve spent designing the layout, taking outfit shots, editing the shots, planning outfits, shopping, networking, commenting. It’s honestly a full time job – but it doesn’t feel like it because I love it so much. And this pertains to anything in life – whether it’s a blog, or a shop, or a class, or going to college – whatever. As soon as you look at it like it’s a chore, it’ll be a chore!
Very motivating post! Way to go with Weight Watchers- that’s awesome!
Where did you get that chair?? It is so cute!! Thank you for writing this post. Like the old saying ” Nothing venture, nothing gain” Great blog!!
What an inspiring post – I love that she had the courage and dedication to just go for it!
What a sweetheart! Such an inspiring girl. Great interview.
so inspirational, and from such a beautiful girl! congrats on all your success, Tieka!
I love the “Design Your Life” feature and this particular interview was a real treat! It was very inspiring and put a big smile on my face. Thanks!
Wow, what great advice! Some of these things, I feel like she’s speaking right to me! I’ve been needing to lose weight for a while and can’t seem to get motivated. I’ll stick with something for a day then go off the wagon. Have thought about Weight Watchers but keep making excuses like “it’s too expensive” or “I don’t have time”. I also love the comments about doing things for yourself, appreciating your surroundings and who is around you (I need to work on living in the moment more and being grateful for what I DO have, rather than mad about what I don’t!). Really, all of this advice is good for me to keep in mind! I love Tieka’s blog and love her even more now as a person after this post 🙂 Thanks Tieka!
Oh! I also meant to say that I’m also with you on the quality more than quantity of friends – I don’t have a huge group of friends either – I have two best friends, and a few gals that are more “acquaintences” that I hang out with once in a while. But I like it like that. I have to spend a lot of time with someone before I feel really comfortable with them and can totally open myself up, so that means it’s hard for me to make new friends; takes a lot of time. But what’s the use in having 20 close friends if you don’t really feel “close” to them in the true sense? I’ll take my two close gals over being the most popular any day!
Lovely post, Tieka! Thanks so much…I also felt like you were speaking directly to me. 🙂 Thank you for the reminder to make every day count. Congratulations on your successes!
such a good design your life piece! i think tieka is a great lady and was so excited to see her post here today! awesome job. xo.
Loved this one! I particularly like her ‘be in control’ intention. Sometimes it’s easy to forget how much we really can control our lives. I constantly feel like things just ‘happen’ to me, but this is a nice reminder that I can make things happen…thanks!
That’s so funny for me to read this right now. I just joined Weight Watchers online about an hour ago and was thinking, “am I really going to do this everyday?” So taking it one day at a time is really good advice! I am having trouble locating my passion right now, but I am intentionally working on finding it each day. Maybe I will also lose the weight and find the passion.
Wow! I read this in the morning and had to come back and re-read it! Completely inspired by Tieka! Thanks!!!! x 1,000!
What an amazing interview! I love reading Selective Potential/Tieka’s posts. These photos are all stunning. Having lost 25 pounds this past year, can definitely relate to some of it!
Loved this interview – her positivity + passion for life. Awesome to hear she’s from Michigan, too!
This was a great feature! Tieka you are awesome and so inspirational. Keep it up girl!
Tieka – Thank you SO MUCH for being so open and up front. I’ve been following Selective Potential for a while, and while I’ve loved your posts and outfits, I’ve also come to have a great deal of respect for you!!! I work full time, go to school at night, am trying to start and business and have a life somewhere in between…not to mention struggling with my weight and time management. Reading this makes me feel like I have some serious changes to make about how I approach things! Making every day count adds up to every single day being productive and having substance. Seriously – thank you for sharing…very inspirational!
This is my favorite interview thus far. Absolutely inspirational. Her exeperiences are very relatable and for her to share the steps to her triumps is greatly appreciated. I finished the rest of my day making each day count and left work feeling acheived then finished class that night in front of the ball. Thank you for this post.
Great interview Jess, you picked a great blogger with a fantastic attitude to life, thanks.
Tieka is gorgeous, funny, motivated, etc. Love this girl, love her blog. Her sincerity is just wonderful. Go, Tieka, go!
love this, especially the “be in control”& “just go for it”–i’m finding this to be so true about my own life! fabulous!
I am in complete awe of how Tieka’s turned her life around. She is so inspiring with her positive outlook. Thanks so much for the article!
Wow, this was a really inspiring post. Thank you Tieka for sharing with us.
I think this was one of my favorite Design your Life Posts!
Thank you for this inspiring post! What a great motto to make every second of your day count. I’m so glad I found your blog through Selective Potential.
This is a really great interview. I’ve been reading Tieka’s blog for a long while now and her positive outlook on life is really inspirational. And I also completely agree on the quality of friends vs quantity thing. I used to have a lot of not-so-real friends, and I’m much happier now with the few truely real friends I do have.
What I really LOVE about this article and about Tieka’s approach is that she stuck with it. I’ve set my intention many times before to do this, that or the other thing or to make each day count, etc. but I end up slacking off and then letting it go. Any tips on how you stuck with it, Tieka?
What a wonderful interview. Tieka is way too cute and looks so beautiful wearing your jewelry. | 2,851 |

Thanks for the info.. but i don’t know if i have the mods. Once we could work on the crew up to level 3, it seems this has been taken down.
I suppose that this is that mod..
it’s very strange but i didn’t had a download link for this mod.. I am wondering if i have other mods, could you please confirm if it works for you?
When you go through the east hallway of your house, you will notice the small stairway that leads to your bathroom. If you used to go down there, it may have become a lot warmer than usual. The other day, when I was doing my regular morning cleaning of my house, I decided to use the bathroom from the front stairs instead of the one at the bottom. I was surprised to see that the bathroom has become very hot. I also tried to open the windows but it also failed.
The next step in this power issue was to check the thermostat and that’s when I noticed that it changed from a normal temperature of 55 to 85. That was the first time in four years that the temperature of the bathroom got above 55 degrees.
I contacted the property manager who said that it was very unlikely that someone broke into my house and changed the temperature. I tried to explain that I already know all the residents of the building and that there is no one who’d like to change the temperature to 85 degrees just for fun. He wasn’t convinced though and claimed that there is a problem in the wiring.
In the end, I made an offer to buy my apartment at 90 thousand dollars.

I started my career about a decade ago at a defense contractor and now work in renewable energy with a stop in commercial marine in between. My experience is that there is minimal difference in technical acumen between the expensive private schools (MIT, Ivy League, etc.) and the relatively more affordable public institutions at the bachelor's degree level. I think that this is a function of the ABET curriculum.
When hiring new grads, I look for candidates that have experience in extracurricular like clubs (ASME, AIAA, SAE) that run projects for national competitions like AIAA's Design/Build/ Fly, SAE Baja, and Formula 1, ASME Human Powered Vehicle, and the like. These experiences tend to build on the existing ABET curriculum by giving young engineers the ability to apply their knowledge to "real-world" problems to come up with solutions within a given set of requirements.

These experiences tend to build on the existing ABET curriculum by giving young engineers the ability to apply their knowledge to "real-world" problems to come up with solutions within a given set of requirements.
If you want to work for JPL, my advice is to look for a school where you are comfortable that has clubs that actively participate in these types of design competitions.
I was in AIAA and did Design/Build/Fly for three years, so I may be a little biased. | 365 |

An individual entered the nursing home with no pre-plan. The daughter, the power of attorney, contacted Mike Goss’s office for a plan. As he has successfully done many times in the past, Mike created an asset protection plan for the new nursing home resident using an MIT trust. The penalty period was correctly calculated and a Medicaid Compliant Annuity was purchased to pay through the penalty.
This is where the “typical” part of Mike’s typically successful Medicaid application ends. Because, unlike countless other applications he had submitted using the same format and planning tools, this patient’s application was denied. It was denied under the premise that, because the patient could become the trustee, she therefore had access to the principal of the trust.
At the desk review, documentation was submitted stating that the trust, under no uncertain terms, allows the trustee to be a principal beneficiary. It was further submitted, though not necessary, that although the woman could not ever be a beneficiary, she also could not be a trustee, as she was admitted to the nursing home in an incompetent state.
After losing at the desk review, Mike moved forward to the Administrative Law Judge. Surely when the case was placed in front of an attorney, it would be determined that the desk worker simply did not understand a trust that had full force of the law and had been submitted and approved by the Medicaid Agency many times.
In the interim, the Lawyers with Purpose team, headed by Dave Zumpano and LWP members from the state of Indiana, met to go over the legal arguments supporting the long use of the IPUG trust in Indiana. However, it was determined that in all likelihood this case would be overturned by the ALJ. The ALJ did not feel the same way. He ruled that the trust was an available resource because the grantor could be the trustee.
Mike was forced to file for judicial review of the denial, and the case was moved over to the FSSA attorney. Using the law review article written by Dave Zumpano, POMS and state rulings, Mike invested time writing a brief for the hearing. Months went by as the FSSA attorney “attempted” to get the records from the administrative hearing. Mike tried to negotiate with the FSSA attorney to no avail. Right before the hearing date, Mike was asked for an extension by the FSSA attorney, with the reasoning that they may be able to negotiate a settlement. A few weeks later, Mike was contacted and asked to write an Order. He had won the appeal with no judicial hearing – a year after his client applied for Medicaid.
Mike’s due diligence paid off and his client received the Medicaid benefits she was legally entitled to. His advocacy for his client not only got her on Medicaid but protected the MIT trust as a planning tool for all attorneys in his state moving forward. Had he not kept fighting for what the law allows, bad interpretation by a Medicaid desk worker could have closed an entire avenue of planning for countless applicants in the future. Thank you Mike Goss for being a tireless advocate for not only your clients, but for all elderly in your community and state.
Way to go Mike Goss!!
Been happy after reading these stories. Mike Gross was one of the motivated person.

ASP.NET web portal and XML web service.
Unyson wanted to provide its customers with real time details on shipment status. The challenge was that this information was dispersed amongst the several vendors used by Unyson. They needed to create a tool that could gather this information from the multiple vendors and display it in a uniform manner to the customer and their own administrative and support staff.
To better serve its customers, Unyson's vision was to create a very user-friendly portal that provides the customer with in-depth automated reports and tools to manage and administer their shipments. The vision was to be able to customize the portal based on the needs of their customer.
Unyson knew that its current processes could not handle their vision. They relied on status updates from vendors via Excel spreadsheets. Their staff then had to manually parse these spreadsheets to send the relevant data to individual customers. The process was very labor intensive and troublesome due to inconsistencies in the data provided. These inconsistencies impeded data analysis and the process prohibited the development of tools that give clients the ability to pull reports at any time of the day and be assured of the accuracy of data. Unyson was looking for long term partnership with a technology firm that would help them fulfill their vision.
Alto designed and implemented an ASP.NET web portal that focuses on providing both Unyson Logistics and their clients with automated shipping information.
The secured portal provides detailed shipping information specific to the customer. The customer can use the portal to track all of their shipments including information on delivery status and costs of individual shipments. This helps them make real-time business decisions and sets Unyson apart from its competitors.
Role-based security is implemented throughout the site to only allow access to data that is relevant to a particular customer's login. Additionally, clients may create, save, and run their own reports via SQL Server Reporting Service's Report Builder tool.
Comprehensive shipping information specific to the location is used by the locations to determine profitability. In addition, centralized data is available to Unyson Logistics administration to analyze vendor performance. Unyson maintains high levels of customer service by customizing the content available to individual customers via an administrator's module.
Unyson has set itself apart from its competitors using the web portal Alto developed.
Clients and locations are provided with real-time shipment information allowing for better business decision-making and improved customer satisfaction.
Flexibility and expandability in the architecture of the system allows Unyson Logistics to add new features as the need arises. Unyson Logistics uses the system to collect and drive new types of information-gathering technology which helps them remain ahead in their industry.
More reliable data import, effective database design, and validated import procedures have decreased administrative time spent gathering and cleaning information. This has also increased confidence in reports; and assures that data viewed from the system is reliable and does not have to be double-checked before being distributed.
Unyson realized the global potential of the web and is now leveraging it to create a competitive advantage by providing real-time information and services to their clients as well as tools to automate tasks that had been performed manually. They view one of their main strengths as their ability to provide customers with great service and on-time deliveries.
Unyson can re-allocate resources that were being used to manage this process manually. | 682 |

The snow leopard is classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN Red List, with an estimated 2,700-3,380 individuals thought to be living in the wild. The main threats to their survival in the wild are habitat loss and fragmentation, climate change, human-wildlife conflict and illegal wildlife trade.
Since 2009, Dublin Zoo has been providing financial support for the Snow Leopard Trust which works in the countries the species still exists, supporting measures to protect this threatened species. Measures include a long-term ecological study in Mongolia, livestock vaccination and insurance programmes, conservation education and supporting local enterprises.
Dublin Zoo also participates in the European Endangered Species Breeding Programme for snow leopards. | 143 |
New mothers needing a private space to pump breast milk for their newborns is a reality of an increasingly modern workplace. Some employers or co-workers might be uncomfortable with this, but the law is likely to come down on the mothers’ side.
Take the case of a mother in Texas who wanted to go back to work as an account rep at a debt collection agency after staying home with her new baby for several months. During conversations prior to her return, she told her bosses that she would like permission to use a back room to express breast milk after she came back. The bosses apparently hemmed and hawed about her request, and once she received medical clearance to return, they told her someone else had filled her position.
When the employee sued, the company claimed that even if it did fire the woman because of the breast-pumping issue, this wasn’t against the law.
But a federal appeals court in New Orleans sided with the woman. It said that firing someone over breast-pumping could be sex discrimination. In addition, it could be disability discrimination, since lactation is considered a medical condition related to pregnancy under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Can I Demand That My Wife Makes Certain Changes to her life?
Answered by Ustadha Raidah Shah Idil
Question: Am I allowed to require that my wife should dress modestly, when discussion is not enough? Can I demand my wife works less, if she is earning enough with a part-time job? She needs to take care of my parents.
Is it wrong of me to stop my wife from meeting irreligious friends? And is it wrong of me to not take her out for dinner and movies?
I feel uncomfortable changing my daughter’s diapers. Can I demand that my wife do that?
Answer: Assalamualaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I pray this finds you well. May Allah reward you for reaching out to us.
Marriage
From your description, it sounds like you are both frustrated, upset, and not seeing eye to eye. Your expectations from each other are very different. This is a difficult test, and I pray that Allah helps you both through this.
Please enrol in this free course – Islamic Marriage: Guidance for Successful Marriage and Married Life. Please complete this course to understand the spirit and law behind a successful Islamic marriage. It would be ideal if your wife would do so too, but suggest it to her, and don’t try to force her. At the very minimum, please listen to the free downloadable lesson set titled Getting Married, with Ustadha Shireen Ahmed and Shaykh Faraz Rabbani.
Prophetic example
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Prophet (upon him be blessings and peace) said: “The best of you is the one who is best to his wife, and I am the best of you to my wives.” [Sunan Ibn Majah]
Look to the best example in all of humanity. Our Beloved Prophet (upon him be blessings and peace) treated his wives with love, compassionate and respect. All of his wives, the Mothers of the Believers, were incredible women. His first wife, Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) was indeed a very successful businesswoman. We have a strong tradition of intelligent and resourceful women who worked.
Please revise your Seerah to get a sense of the compassion and balance embodied by the Prophet (upon him be blessings and peace). SeekersHub offers wonderful courses which can help you get to know the Mothers of the Believers as well as the Companions.
Communication
Placing demands upon one’s spouse is not from the sunnah of our compassionate and wise Prophet (upon him be blessings and peace). Instead, please sit down with your wife and have an honest conversation, one free from blaming and shaming. I encourage you to lead by example instead of ordering your wife to be a certain way. Embody Prophetic virtues like patience, compassion and forgiveness. Actions speak louder than words. It takes a lot more patience for you to wait for your wife to change her behaviour, instead of demanding that she behave.
Please read through these excellent resources to help you learn how to better communicate with your wife. I also encourage the two of you to see a culturally-sensitive marriage counsellor to help you see each other’s point of view.
Still… No Yelling!!! – And 9 Other Rules for Fair Fighting
Soften Your Start-Up
Positive memories
Take a break from stressful interactions with your wife. Focus on building happier memories. How does your wife feel loved? Does she like compliments, gifts, time with you, being held, or acts of service? Reflect on this. It is problematic if you don’t take your wife out for dinner/lunch/breakfast on a regular basis, because this time alone with her is how you water the garden of your marriage. Neglecting to tend to your marital relationship can lead to unresolved stress and resentment, which then bleeds into all other aspects of your life. You are already experiencing this fallout.
Words of Affirmation and Quality Time
Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch
Hijab
This is a sensitive topic for many Muslim women. Please tread carefully, and use wisdom and tact. It is healthy and praiseworthy for you to have protective jealousy over your wife, but please look at things holistically. Does she know the rulings behind hijab? If so, then demands do not work. The way a woman wears hijab is often related to the strength of her connection to Allah. You can help nurture her relationship with Allah through showing a good example, and gently encouraging her to good. If you see that nagging her doesn’t work, then please try a different strategy.
I encourage you to listen to Beyond Hijab: Modesty Amongst Women in Islam.
Friends
I encourage you to lead by example. What are your friends like? Go to circles of knowledge and befriend good Muslims. Invite them and their families to your home. Seek out good people at good places e.g. charity events, volunteer activities, soup kitchens etc. InshaAllah over time, your wife will also seek out friends from these good circles. I don’t recommend that you ban her from seeing her friends, as that will only increase feelings of animosity between the two of you. Try adopting an attitude of curiosity in regards to why your wife does what she does, instead of judgement. The wheel is always turning. Perhaps her friends have other praiseworthy qualities such as mercy and generosity.
Prayer
Please perform the Prayer of Need and beg Allah for help. Never underestimate the power of dua.
Work
Focus on understanding your wife’s point of view, before persuading her to understand yours. The financial obligation is upon you to provide for her family. In addition to that, a woman also has the right to earn her own income, if she wishes. If you feel that she is working too much, then you are free to express that. Sometimes, your perception of what is best may not line up with her perception of what is best. Again, please discuss this openly with her with a spirit of giving and taking, not a spirit of entitlement.
Parents
Are your parents elderly and unwell? You are their son, and the obligation is on you, not your wife, to care for them. It would be praiseworthy for your wife to help too, but she cannot be forced. Again, watering the garden of your marriage will help in this aspect of your life too. A wife who feels loved and appreciated by her husband is much more likely to want to help care for her in-laws.
Please refer to this answers: A Wife’s Right to Housing Separate From Her In-Laws and Married Daughters Supporting Elderly Parents.
Diapers
Instead of demanding that your wife change your daughter’s diapers, try explaining why it makes you uncomfortable, and work on reaching a compromise. If you don’t want to change her diapers, then think of what you can do to help instead.
A successful Islamic marriage is built upon a foundation of having sincere concern for one another. I pray that Allah places that spirit of love, concern and affection between you and your wife. May your marriage be a safe haven for both you.

I was thinking specifically the crime of mass shootings which while infinitesimally small on the “total crime amount” in the US, it is apparently a massive growing problem affecting everyone in the US and has to be stopped (According to the media.) (By banning all guns, etc)
https://psmag.com/.amp/news/the-suicide-rate-is-at-its-highest-in-a-half-century
However, I found this article containing statistics on suicides and it seems suicide isn’t actually evenly spread across all ages and areas. It’s actually concentrated, or more specifically the recent “increase” is very conventrated to white, middle-age, rural, men. And while gun suicides account for a large percentage, suffocation actually had the largest increase in use in the increase in suicides. So right there, even if there are no guns people will use “good-old” hanging, (unhappy) people dedicated to commiting suicide will find away.
But most interestingly is the demographic. The less educated, less wealthy, more religious, racially “disliked”, gender “disliked” no economic opportunity people.
Rural jobs, coal mining, farming, logging, are all going away. Even wal-mart ruined small towns mainstreet retail ownership/jobs. Let alone, the entire opioid epidemic that’s ripping through rural America
So, this almost maybe proves my theory. Unhappy people commit suicide (or mass shooting). These white, middle-aged, rural men don’t have good paying jobs, good families, good relationships, good quality housing, cars etc.
Thier jobs are moving away, Their families (children) are moving away, corporate farms are buying up all the farm land, main streets shops are closing, there is nothing left there leading to unhappiness leading to gun related shootings.
Find a small town that has a bustling economy, quality small farms, a main street and families raising children and I bet there will be a significantly lower suicide rate than surrounding less happy rural towns. | 454 |

An iconic Supermarine Spitfire dancing in the sky above Hatfield to Elgar's Nimrod.
Explosions aplenty from dozens of cannon in time to the music.
Napoleonic cavalry displays and the British Army's Red Devils dropping in on proceedings.
Flag-waving spectators decked out in Union Jack colours singing along to Last Night of the Proms favourites culminating in a fantastic fireworks finale.
It can only be The Battle Proms, which returned to the grounds of Hatfield House on Saturday afternoon and evening.
After having to cancel the annual picnic concert last summer due to the coronavirus pandemic, Battle Proms made a welcome return to the Hatfield social events calendar – with COVID-19 safety measures in place.
Capacity in the Queen Elizabeth Oak Field at Hatfield House was reduced, and the festival site was expanded to allow for more social distancing of families eating their picnics.
As the poster said as spectators entered the site: "Keep Calm and a Cannon width apart."
However, revellers partying in the park were still able to enjoy the familiar Battle Proms fare – dynamic displays and sublime classical music performed by the New English Concert Orchestra conducted by Douglas Coombes MBE.
With clear blue skies on a scorching hot afternoon, the Red Devils parachute display team wowed families at the event with their incredible precision freefall demonstration.
The Red Devils posted on its official Twitter and Instagram pages: "We thoroughly enjoyed jumping into @Hatfield_House House yesterday evening!
"Be sure to keep an eye out for us at the next @BattleProms Concerts on the 31st of July!"
We thoroughly enjoyed jumping into @Hatfield_House House yesterday evening!
The Battle Proms Belles also entertained ticket holders with vintage tunes ahead of the two-hour classical programme, including the apt We'll Meet Again after last year's cancellation.
The concert's main event kicked off, as usual, with the evening gun salute.
A volley of shots heralded the arrival of the majestic Grace Spitfire for a meticulously choreographed aerial display in the skies above the arena.
The evening's music featured an uplifting selection of soul-stirring classical favourites, including the 1812 Overture.
Composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's rousing piece was performed in true Battle Proms style with a thunderous percussion of cannon fire and fireworks.
This only served as a pyrotechnical warm-up to the open-air concert's signature piece in the second half of the programma: Beethoven’s Battle Symphony.
The Battle Proms is still the only place in the world where you can hear this dramatic piece performed as German composer Ludwig van Beethoven intended, with the full complement of 193 cannons, plus musket fire and fireworks, providing a unique and breathtaking musical spectacle.
Hosted by popular BBC presenter Pam Rhodes, the picnic concert finished with a spectacular fireworks finale to accompany Proms favourites such as Rule Britannia.

The two gatehouses.
The first time we were here was May 30th, 2001.
The original Maynooth castle was built by Maurice Fitzgerald in 1176 on a land that Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, Lord of Leinster, also known as Strongbow, granted to him. In the early 13th century it was enlarged for the first time with the building of the keep. A further enlargement was carried out in 1426, with an extensive rebuilding of the castle.
Under Garret Óg, the 9th Earl of Kildare, the castle became the centre of political power and culture. The English monarchy disliked this and arrested Garret Óg and held him in the Tower of London. His son Thomas, known as Silken Thomas, rebelled against the king and led a rebellion in 1534, but the English army sieged the castle and after ten days they won the battle, executed all the soldiers in the castle and took Silken Thomas to London where he was executed along with five of his uncles.
The castle became the residence of the Lord Deputies of Ireland and by the 17th century it fell in ruins.
Today only the keep and the gatehouses survive. | 257 |

BOSTON - William B. ('Bill') O’Keeffe of Boston passed away peacefully on May 26, 2019, he was 79. Bill lived in downtown Boston for over 50 years while also spending his summers in Osterville on Cape Cod. He graduated from the Roxbury Latin School and Dartmouth College where he rowed on the crew team.
After receiving his law degree from Boston College Law School, Bill went on to work for Lyne Woodsworth and Evarts practicing corporate and estate law. He worked at the law firm until 1988 when he became the CEO of Symmons Industries, a manufacturer of plumbing products. In 1985 Bill became a Trustee at Roxbury Latin donating his time to what he called the 'One True School'. Bill retired in 2010 and spent most of his free time reading, sailing, spending time with his grandkids and creating havoc with spirited debates at the dining room table.

Employees are struggling to file successful lawsuits against their employers when they catch Covid-19. The law requires employees to prove they contracted coronavirus in the workplace, but the virus is notoriously difficult to track because it spreads so widely.
Frontline workers such as those in grocery stores or health-care have a higher risk of catching coronavirus, and some of their employers are not adequately protecting their employees from getting it. However, an employee will still need to prove that they caught it in their workplace. If there is a number of employees in a workplace who get sick, it increases their ability to prove they caught it at work.
Some states cover coronavirus under workers’ compensation, but others do not. This means that if an employee gets sick or dies from Covid-19 in the workplace, they can seek financial damages. However, this stops employees from suing their workers.
Employees could argue that coronavirus is a non-occupational disease, and therefore it would be appropriate to file a tort claim rather than workers’ compensation. They could sue their employer for failure to maintain a safe workplace if there are inadequate policies and insufficient PPE and cleaning.
However, because of coronavirus being called a pandemic, gross negligence is more difficult to prove. It is necessary to prove that the employer exercised conscious misconduct or intentional harm to have a claim.
There have been over 4,000 lawsuits filed related to Covid-19, but it is a new concept, and there is no one way they are being handled. The most important thing is that employers need to provide as much protection for their employees and customers as possible.
How Can I Reopen My Small Business After Covid-19?
Small businesses should follow public health and OSHA guidelines to reopen. They can post their safety practices to help their customers feel safe.
Businesses should consider requiring employees and customers to wear masks. Even homemade masks are 80% effective in keeping out airborne particles. They can also provide hand sanitizer or gloves to customers to reduce the spread and assure customers of safety.
Where possible, employees should work remotely or work in alternating shifts to allow adequate distancing in the workplace. Common areas should be closed off or strictly monitored, and nonessential travel should be minimized.
Touch-less systems for payment and ordering are much safer. Businesses should consider an app for pre-ordering so that customers are touching their phones rather than business equipment which would need to be sanitized.
A coronavirus sick leave policy which requires employees to stay home for two weeks if they are ill is also advisable. Ill employees should be tested for Covid-19, and not allowed to return to work until they are free of symptoms for 72 hours. Provisions for elderly or at-risk workers who need to prioritize their health are important.
Businesses should prepare for increased absenteeism and have plans in place for rescheduling and cross-training. | 605 |

"Psychiatrists are advised to avoid engaging in any memory recovery techniques' which are based upon the expectation of past sexual abuse of which the patient has no memory. Such memory recovery techniques' may include drug-mediated interviews, hypnosis, regression therapies, guided imagery, 'body memories,' literal dream interpretation and journaling. There is no evidence that the use of consciousness-altering techniques, such as drug- mediated interviews or hypnosis, can reveal or accurately elaborate factual information about any past experiences including childhood sexual abuse. Techniques on regression therapy including 'age regression' and hypnotic regression are of unproven effectiveness."

I think that's a great idea, the more precise lists. I've read several books that I recognized as not being all that well written or deep but they were enjoyable and I'd recommend them (like Hunger games or Dan Brown stuff). I've also read books that were hard to get thru but in the end I'm glad I read them and will likely read them again (like Walden or Anna Karenina).
There's a wide range of why someone would recomend a book and that would be helpful to have included in the outset of these lists. | 117 |

Eat your vegetables is a well-worn message that weary parents have been giving reluctant children at the dinner table for generations. It turns out that convincing children to eat those green vegetables is difficult partly because their tastes aren't always nurtured in infancy to accept the bitterness of dark green vegetables.
Early childhood nutrition is important to ensure optimal growth and development and has long-lasting health implications that persist into adulthood.
Constipation, etiologically, may be: organic in nature (i.e. due to anatomical causes like Hirschsprung's disease, endocrine causes like hypothyrodism); or may be, to a larger extent functional in nature (there is no identifiable specific anatomical, biochemical or physiological abnormally identified).
A consequence of not sleeping enough at night is that you will assimilate more calories the next day.
It is well known that the nutritional status of the mother, and in particular, overweight, have an infl uence on the growth and development of the infant.
Breast milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) have a similar function in the infantile gut to prebiotics for specifi c species of bifi dobacteria and bacteriods. However, little is known so far about the possible use by Enterobacteriaceae. These are associated with the outbreak of necrotisising enterocolitis (NEC), especially in premature babies. | 285 |

Tracy Prince of Coventry likes to go hunting for sea glass for her jewelry business, Sea Find Designs. She turns what she finds into beautiful, hand carved necklaces, bracelets, pendants, earrings, and keychains – even belly button rings – sometimes set with rhinestones or gems. In her Etsy shop and on her Facebook page, they sell out quickly. Each item is uniquely individual since every piece of glass, stone, or shell is one-of-a-kind.
Prince and her family regularly go out looking on the beach together, but they’re not just hunting for hidden treasures in the sand – they’re cleaning the beach. Though a decline in illegal dumping has made sea glass harder to find recently, Prince still makes it her mission to tidy the shoreline as she searches for interesting stones or shells.
Prince’s love of sea glass began when she was a child, visiting her grandmother in Puerto Rico. When her husband found a shard of green glass on a beach in Mexico 23 years ago, her obsession was reignited, and she began her collection anew. She was trying to find a creative way to use the sea glass she’d amassed, and when she saw her sister wearing a jade pendant wrapped in wire, she thought, “I can do that!” After selling some of her jewelry at a friend’s party, her business was born.
Prince’s most recent favorite design has been a paw print, which she carves by hand. She’ll get requests for commissions with personal notes attached, telling her why the piece is important to that customer.

This will be great if in the game will be day and night cycle
I think the 10 minutes time between changing will be good.
In the day will appear some animals what will not appear at night, and vice versa.
And these at the night will be more dangerous (higher level, more tigers etc.)
But
At night will be XP bonus after defeating 5 animals at start of the night
It will continue to the morning (10 minutes later)
How aboit this idea?

[The coxal end of the femur. An architecture following strict rules].
In order to combine the dynamic hip screw with a plate that anchors the greater trochanter, detailed measurements of the greater trochanter are necessary and its relation to the femoral head and neck must be studied. The hips in 200 X-ray films in the AP view were measured. The radiographs were obtained from 46 males and 87 females (69.2 +/- 16.9 years old) without hip disease. Concerning the neck shaft angle, no selection was done. The axis of the femoral head and neck was drawn; a second horizontal line passed through the apex of the lesser trochanter. Both lines intersected the lateral cortex of the femur. The distance between those two intersections was measured: d = 0.41 +/- 0.28 cm. In the next step, 74 human femora were obtained from 21 females and 17 males (79.9 +/- 9.0 years old). A special gauge was fixed at the lateral site of the femur. Using this gauge, the size and shape of the greater trochanter were measured: (1) the apex of the greater trochanter lay exactly on the line, which was determined by the lateral cortex of the femoral shaft (+/- 0.4 cm); (2) the maximum lateral extension of the greater trochanter was measured half-way from the lesser trochanter niveau to the apex of the greater trochanter (minor-major distance: 6.09 +/- 0.82 cm; minor-lateral maximum distance: 3.03 +/- 0.59 cm); (3) the maximum lateral extension of the greater trochanter measured 11.4 +/- 3 mm. | 358 |
The EU has started asking rivals about Google’s advertising practices, just two years after closing a decade of investigations into the company’s shopping, advertising and Android businesses that led to €8.2bn of fines.
Regulators in Brussels have sent questionnaires to publishers and advertising companies asking them about Google’s position in the online advertising market, where it acts as the dominant middleman between publishers and advertisers. The questions may or may not lead to a formal inquiry.
Google’s technology stack has unrivalled scale in serving automated ads on websites in the open internet, putting buyers and sellers together, providing data and overseeing auctions for ad inventory.
The move by EU investigators comes after regulators in the US accused Google in December of abusing its monopoly and colluding with Facebook to shut out rival ad exchanges.
The main concerns of the EU relate to whether Google abused its position to structure auctions to its own benefit and tied parts of its ad services in contracts, to the detriment of publishers and advertisers. In the online advertising market, intermediary fees often range between 40 and 60 per cent of the money spent by advertisers.
The questionnaire contains a range of inquiries about Google’s behaviour and how companies feel about a series of rule changes, such as the decision by Google in 2016 to combine the data it gathered from people logging into Google services, such as Google Maps and Gmail, with the data it gathered from online searches.
“Certain practices may create obstacles to entry and expansion of competitors and/or protect Google’s position in potential markets that relate to the collection, access, processing, use and monetisation of data, as well as neighbouring and downstream markets for the provision of online services,” the questionnaire said.
The questionnaire also asked companies to outline the importance of YouTube, which is owned by Google, for their ad campaigns, and their overall ad spend on search campaigns on Google Ads. Regulators also asked companies if Facebook can be regarded as a rival to Google. The deadline for submitting answers is Friday.
The questions are part of an investigation into the way Google collects data that started in 2019.
The company is still contesting its earlier EU fines in court. Politico first reported on the questionnaires.

Over the course of history Canada has engaged in social, political, economic and cultural relations with various countries. Managing relationships and foreign policy are key elements in Canadian foreign policy. These relationships and policies have taken many different shapes and forms as expected, and thus, the history of Canadian foreign relations is a significant part of Canada’s identity as a nation today. In particular, one aspect that is often analyzed on this topic is the how the Americans failed to conquer Canada. One can only imagine how different Canada would be if certain battles favoured the Americans. It is evident, that the Americans failure to conquer Canada was a result of poor war tactics and military conduct at crucial points in time. The Americans were not fully prepared to conquer Canada as a whole, and underestimated the Canadians in terms of their war capabilities, loyalty and readiness for war. The Americans also naively believed they could take advantage and attack the British during the American Revolution.

Cats are the cleanest pets that thoroughly wash themselves after each waking. They lick the hair and pads "remove" dried brownish crusts from the corners of the eyes. Usually the owner does not notice such formations, but when the cat's eyes fester, the outflow from them and souring become permanent and clearly visible. Such a symptom is considered dangerous and should be eliminated under the supervision of a veterinarian. Why such a pathology develops, what to do, what should be treated with a pet whose eyes are festering? Find out the answers to these questions by reading the article.
A small amount of eye leakage in healthy cats is considered normal. Feline "tears" usually have a reddish or grayish tint, and appear for various reasons. Discharge from the cat's eyes can be single and rare. Perhaps the animal’s eyes began to water, because there was a protective reaction to dust particles that got on the surface of the visual organ.
This situation is not dangerous, so the owner should not worry about this. Another thing is when the eyes of the pet are festering, from them oozing thick pus of yellow or green. This is already a cause for concern.
In any case, it is necessary to understand the causes of the pathology, and then start the therapy. So why do cats suffer from festering eyes?
If the cat has purulent discharge from the eye, characterized by a clear or watery consistency, then this symptom often indicates mechanical injuries to the visual organ or allergic reactions. A characteristic feature of such outflows is gray or reddish crusts that dry up in the inner corners of the eyes.
Thick, yellowish or greenish discharge indicates that an infection (caused by bacteria or fungus) has entered your pet's body. The animal necessarily needs the help of a veterinarian, because it will not be possible to cure such a pathology at home. Self-medication can further worsen the animal’s health.
When a cat's eyes are badly rotting, it is necessary to check whether he has systemic or eye diseases. Eye injuries, conjunctivitis, diseases of the eyelids or cornea can provoke the appearance of suppuration in the visual organs of the animal. The cat's eyes also fester because its body is affected by chronic viral infections, plague, or panleukopenia.
Injuries or bruising of the eyelids also cause the appearance of purulent discharge from the cat's eyes. The animal can injure the visual organ during a fight with another cat, in the process of climbing trees (branches) or as a result of sloppy games. Often, the inflammatory process after an injury extends to the eyeball.
Chemical, temperature or traumatic effects on the eyelids can provoke the development of blepharitis and, as a result, suppuration of the cat's organ of vision. Viruses, germs, fungal infections get into the damaged eye, which causes the eyes to fester.
Improper nutrition, household cleaning products, poor sleep, and even individual structural features of the cat's face are all factors that also explain why the pet's eyes are festering.
Colds or allergies. If the cat sneezes and eyes fester, this is an alarming bell. The animal probably caught a cold. Such a reaction of the pet's body can be to an infection or allergic irritants that have got into the body. But sometimes sneezing in cats provokes dust in the nose.
hypersensitivity to light (the cat develops photophobia, characteristic of pathological processes in the cornea).
If viral diseases develop in the cat's body, then suppuration of the eyes is often accompanied by a prolonged and persistent fever.
As soon as the first alarming symptoms appear, take the cat to the vet. He will prescribe a set of analyzes, put the correct diagnosis according to their results and prescribe treatment. In order to diagnose conjunctivitis, the veterinarian does tests of flushing from the mucous membranes of the sick eye.
If the owner of the fluffy noticed purulent discharge of the eye from the pet, he needs to first determine their nature. This will further enable the veterinarian to make an accurate diagnosis, to differentiate less dangerous diseases of the animal’s visual organs from more serious ones. The type of secretions will also help determine whether pathogenic microflora is involved in their appearance.
Cats run out of eyes.
Mucopurulent. Occur due to eye damage with bacterial infections. The color of the purulent fluid varies from dark yellow to green. A characteristic sign is the presence of a smell of heat.
Serous. Allocations of a watery consistency are almost always transparent, have the color of straw. Sometimes they can cast a pinkish tint. Serous inflammation is often the initial stage of complex pathologies. Also, the appearance of serous outflows may indicate the presence of an allergic reaction or infection of a viral nature. The appearance of such secretions is associated with exposure to chemicals or cigarette smoke.
Mucous. Light and viscous discharge of protein structure, odorless. Most often, mucous outflows indicate a chronic type of influence of various irritants or powerful allergens, pathological conditions of the cornea or lacrimal ducts. If the cat has untreated eye injuries, then there is a high risk of developing purulent inflammation of the mucous membranes of the eye membranes.
If the kitten's eyes are festering, the owner should visit the veterinarian with his pet. This is especially important in cases where the outflow from serous pass into the mucous or mucopurulent. The owner of the animal must understand that the conjunctiva and cornea of an eye in cats are very delicate areas.
If pathological factors affect them for a long time, and treatment is not carried out, then these tissues undergo irreversible dystrophic transformations. As a result, the cat's vision is severely impaired. To prevent this from happening, the owner should know what to do at home when the cat's eyes are festering.
Pay attention to how long the cat's eyes are festering. If purulent expiration lasts more than 2-3 days, and ugly crusts constantly appear in the corners of the pet’s eyes, study the condition of the animal more carefully.
See if the cat’s eye is injured, if a foreign body has not got into it. Only in such cases, the animal can be cured at home, without the help of a veterinarian.
If there is a suspicion that the pet's eyes are festering due to allergies, it is necessary to find out what caused the reaction. Perhaps the cat has changed food or the animal is constantly located near flowering plants with a pungent odor.
Actually, this is all that the owner of a furry pet can do to cure him at home. In more severe cases, you need to take the cat to the veterinarian.
The treatment of festering eyes in a cat is developed depending on the reasons for the problem. If an animal has an eyelid swollen and one eye festering, this is likely to occur as a result of trauma or a foreign body entering the visual organ. The first thing the owner must do is to rinse the affected eye, removing accumulated secretions and dried-on crusts. Such events are held every day until the cat's eyes cease to fester.
To rinse the patient’s eyes, you can buy a special solution in a pharmacy or prepare it yourself. At home, the cat can rinse the eyes with the following compounds.
A solution of distilled water and sodium chloride. For 1 liter of liquid you need to take 0.5 tsp. salt and bring the mixture to a boil. Immediately before use, the composition is cooled. If the cat's eyes are festering, it is recommended that they be treated with just such saline. The only exception is situations when suppuration has arisen due to exposure to allergens. Then you can’t add salt to clean water.
Strong infusion of tea. For its preparation, it is better to use distilled water and whole leaflets. Tea brewing has excellent disinfectant properties. In addition, it contains caffeine, which contributes to the narrowing of blood vessels and reduces the symptomatic manifestations of allergic reactions.
Does a cat's eyes fester as a result of a bruise? Use hydrogen peroxide to flush them.
With severe suppuration, before visiting the veterinarian, flush the eyes of the animal with chamomile broth, furatsilinom or boric acid. Furatsilin is taken 0.02%, and boric acid is dissolved in 0.5 l of water.
If you rub the cat’s eyes at home, divide the treatment solution into 2 parts in advance (each of them will go to one eye). Use a separate cotton pad for each eye. Soak dried crusts so that the animal does not hurt when you remove them.
Rinse if the kitten has swollen eyes and festering, should be carefully, taking care of its safety first. The pet will be nervous and pulled out during the procedure, so it should be well fixed (or use the help of the second person who will hold the animal). The best option is to swaddle the cat with a towel or diaper so that only the head remains on the outside. Stick to the following recommendations.
Rinse each eye with a solution from a separate container.
Twist the fleece with a tight tourniquet, dip it into a warm broth (medical solution), and squeeze it onto the festering eye of the animal.
When the pet’s eyes are completely cleansed of purulent outflows, apply tetracycline ointment (1%) under the cat’s eyelid. To do this, pull the lower eyelid of the animal and, using a special scapula, lay the composition on its inner surface. Then completely close the cat’s eye and massage it gently. This will help the product to spread evenly. To further enhance the effect of applying the ointment, preheat the tube with it in your hands. But if the cat is very nervous, then applying the ointment under the eyelid is not worth it (this can lead to injury to the organ of vision).
How to instill a rotten eye in an animal?
Even if the eye of the animal is very festering, you can help it with the help of drops, without leaving your home. Follow these guidelines to complete the procedure efficiently..
Put the cat on its side, turn up its head.
If your pet has a restless and violent character, it must be immobilized before instillation of the eyes. Use a large sheet or towel for swaddling.
Bury the medicinal solution, slightly opening the pet's eye. During the procedure, hold the cat's face with his hand so that he does not shake it.
When the medicinal composition enters the cat’s eyeball, it will blink, and thereby contribute to an even distribution of the drug over the entire surface of the eye.
After instillation, blot the pet’s eye with a dry cloth or cotton pad.
Remember that the above manipulations with drops will not help cure the underlying disease, but will help relieve acute symptoms of suppuration of the eyes. If the visual organs of your cat are very festering, only an experienced veterinarian can cure this pathology. Cats eye treatment should be timely. Only under this condition can you save the eyesight of a pet.
There are some useful tips that will help prevent cat suppuration..
Inspect your pet regularly; for prevention, visit the veterinarian’s office with a cat.
Control your animal’s behavior while walking to prevent eye injuries.
If the pet has an "explosive" character, walk it on the harness so that it does not fight with other cats. If the animal nevertheless enters into a fight with relatives, examine it carefully, treat the affected areas around the eye and on the rest of the body with hydrogen peroxide. If after a fight the cat has a rotten eye, be sure to rinse it with plain water or chamomile broth.
Conduct deworming procedures in a timely manner. Worms not only harm the pet, but also poison its body with products of its own vital activity. And one of the signs of parasitism of helminths in the cat's body is suppuration of one or both eyes at once.
In long-haired cats, for the purpose of prevention, it is necessary to cut the hair around the eyes. This will avoid unwanted discharge and become a good preventive measure against the formation of crusts.
If the animal has an injured area around the eyes, and this leads to suppuration of the visual organ, the owner needs to control the behavior of the pet so that he does not comb the affected area with his paws. It is better to put on the pet Elizabethan collar, which is sold in a pet store (if desired, you can make it yourself).
Constant care of the pet, timely treatment of eye damage will help to avoid serious consequences of suppuration of the eyes.

> I think a judge would find it reasonable that youtube allow appeals to be made through a 3rd party arbitrator.
Then you are free to find an attorney willing to argue that, hire them, and sue YouTube.
I do not think this is nearly as likely as you think it is.
>The Credit card companies offer arbitration
Credit card companies are much, much more tightly regulated by the government. You really can't compare "YouTube videos" to "credit card disputes". They just aren't even in the same realm of law.
>A public company like Youtube that relies on word of mouth to be profitable can unfairly decide who they support and who they don't.
Again, YouTube is not a public entity.
Also YouTube spends tens of millions, if not more, on advertising. Paid shows, poaching streamers from Twitch, in-house produced content, etc. They absolutely do not rely on *just* word of mouth.
It's also not really relevant.
>Being private does not guarantee any private company that relies on public consumption of their product the right to falsely re review content with boiler plate A.I.
Actually, it does. There's no law that states you cannot use automated responses to answer support requests if you host a website. That's just... totally nonsense, honestly.
Anyway, it's clear that you aren't here for an actual legal answer, just to pitch a fit that your YouTube video was taken down. I've more than answered your legal questions by this point. Good luck with your appeal. | 337 |
The preventive services described below are paraphrased and in some cases copied verbatim from the Medicare.gov website. To learn more about the preventive services available to Medicare beneficiaries, take a look at the Medicare & You handbook.
A “Welcome to Medicare” preventive visit: Within the first 12 months of having Part B, Medicare beneficiaries get a one-time introductory visit that includes a review of their medical and social history related to their health and education as well as counseling about preventive services, including certain screenings, shots, and referrals for other care, if needed. It also includes height, weight, and blood pressure measurements, a calculation of their body mass index, a simple vision test, a review of their potential risk for depression, an offer to talk with them about creating advance directives, and a written plan letting them know which screenings, shots, and other preventive services they need. This visit is covered one time and is not required for the beneficiary to be covered for yearly “Wellness” visits.
Yearly “Wellness” visits: People who have had Part B for longer than 12 months can get this visit to develop or update a personalized plan to prevent disease and disability based on their current health and risk factors. The health care provider will ask them to fill out a questionnaire, called a “Health Risk Assessment,” as part of this visit.
For both the introductory and annual visits, Medicare beneficiaries pay nothing if their doctor accepts assignment, and the Part B deductible doesn’t apply.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm screening: Medicare provides a one-time abdominal aortic aneurysm ultrasound for at-risk beneficiaries (people with a family history of abdominal aortic aneurysms or men between age 65 and 75 who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime). Beneficiaries must get a referral for this from their doctor.
Alcohol misuse screenings & counseling: Adults (including pregnant women) who use alcohol but don’t meet the medical criteria for alcohol dependency can get this screening. If the primary care doctor determined that the individual is misusing alcohol, he or she can get four brief face-to-face counseling sessions per year in a primary care setting.
Bone mass measurements (bone density): People at risk of osteoporosis who meet certain conditions are eligible for this test once every 24 months (or more often if medically necessary) when it’s ordered by their doctor. Some of the risk factors include estrogen deficiency, evidence of possible osteoporosis on X-rays, taking prednisone or steroid-type drugs, and hyperparathyroidism.
Cardiovascular disease screenings: To help detect conditions that may lead to a heart attack or stroke, Medicare covers screening blood tests for cholesterol, lipid, and triglyceride levels every five years when ordered by a doctor.
Cardiovascular disease (behavioral therapy): Medicare covers one visit per year with a primary care doctor to help people lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. During this visit, the doctor may discuss aspirin use (if appropriate), check the patient’s blood pressure, and give the patient tips to make sure he or she is eating well.
These screening tests are covered once every 24 months for all women and once every 12 months for women at high risk for cervical or vaginal cancer or who are of childbearing age and have had an abnormal Pap test in the past 36 months.
Colorectal cancer screenings: Medicare covers several types of colorectal cancer screening tests to help find precancerous growths or find cancer early, when treatment is most effective. Depending on the type of test, the Medicare beneficiary may pay nothing or may pay coinsurance and/or a copay, as applicable.
Depression screenings: One depression screening per year is available for anyone with Part B. The screening must be conducted in a primary care setting (like a doctor’s office) that can provide follow-up treatment and/or referrals, if needed.
Diabetes screenings: Medicare covers up to two screenings each year to check for diabetes if the beneficiary has one or more risk factors such as high blood pressure (hypertension), a history of abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels (dyslipidemia), obesity, or a history of high blood sugar (glucose). People with two or more of the following risk factors are also eligible: age 65 or older, overweight, a family history of diabetes, a history of gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy), or delivery of a baby weighing more than 9 pounds. There is no cost for these tests.
Diabetes self-management training: Medicare also covers outpatient diabetes self-management training (DSMT) to teach beneficiaries how to cope with and manage their diabetes. It includes tips for eating healthy, being active, monitoring blood sugar, taking drugs, and reducing risks. This may include one hour of individual training, nine hours of group training, and up to two hours of follow-up training each year. Beneficiaries must at least have Part B, be at risk for complications from diabetes, and receive a written order from a doctor in order to receive such training. Additional eligibility criteria may apply.
Glaucoma tests: All people with Part B who are at high risk for glaucoma are covered for a glaucoma test once every 12 months. People are at high risk if they have diabetes, a family history of glaucoma, are African American and 50 or older, or are Hispanic American and 65 or older. The beneficiary pays 20% of the Medicare-approved amount, and the Part B deductible applies. A copay will apply if received in a hospital outpatient setting.
Hepatitis C screening test: Medicare covers one Hepatitis C screening test for anyone with Part B and yearly repeat screening for certain people at high risk. People born between 1945 and 1965, people with a current or past history of illicit injection drug use, or people who received a blood transfusion before 1992 are at a higher risk for Hepatitis C. There is no cost for the screening test if the doctor or other qualified health care provider accepts assignment.
HIV screening: Medicare covers HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) screenings once every 12 months for people who are younger than 15 or older than 65 who are at increased risk for the virus, people between 15 and 65 who ask for the test, and people who are pregnant. There is no cost for the test if the doctor or other health care provider accepts assignment.
Lung cancer screening: Medicare covers a lung cancer screening with Low Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) once per year for people age 55-77 who are asymptomatic (they don’t have signs or symptoms of lung cancer), are either a current smoker or have quit smoking within the last 15 years, have a tobacco smoking history of at least 30 “pack years” (an average of one pack a day for 30 years), and get a written order from their physician.
Mammograms (screening): Medicare covers a screening mammogram once every 12 months as well as a diagnostic mammogram when medically necessary to women with Part B who are 40 or older. Women between 35-39 can get one baseline mammogram. There is no cost for the screening test if the doctor or other qualified health care provider accepts assignment. For the diagnostic mammogram, the beneficiary pays 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after meeting the annual Part B deductible.
Nutrition therapy services: Medicare covers medical nutrition therapy (MNT) services and certain related services which may include an initial nutrition and lifestyle assessment, one-on-one nutritional counseling, and follow-up visits to check the patient’s progress in managing his or her diet. People with Part B who have diabetes, have kidney disease, or who have had a kidney transplant in the last 36 months are eligible with a referral from their doctor and pay nothing if the doctor or other health care professional accepts assignment.
Obesity screenings & counseling: Medicare covers behavioral counseling sessions to help people lose weight when it is provided in a primary care setting (like a doctor’s office) where it can be coordinated with the patient’s other care and a personalized prevention plan. Part B beneficiaries with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more are eligible and pay nothing for this service if the primary care doctor accepts assignment.
Prostate cancer screenings: Medicare covers a digital rectal exam as well as a prostate specific antigen (PSA) test once every 12 months for all men over 50 who have Part B. The beneficiary pays 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for a digital rectal exam after meeting the Part B deductible if the screening is performed in a doctor’s office and a copayment if it’s performed in a hospital outpatient setting. There is no cost for the PSA test but there may be an additional cost for the doctor’s services if the provider does not accept assignment.
Sexually transmitted infections screening & counseling: Medicare Part B covers sexually transmitted infection (STI) screenings for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and/or Hepatitis B once every 12 months or at certain times during pregnancy. If referred by a primary care physician, Medicare also covers up to two individual, face-to-face, high-intensity behavioral counseling sessions (20-30 minutes) each year for sexually active adolescents and adults at increased risk for STIs. There is no cost for STI screenings or counseling if the primary care doctor or practitioner accepts assignment.
Flu shots: People with Part B can get one flu shot per flu season at no cost if the doctor accepts assignment.
Hepatitis B shots: Medicare covers Hepatitis B shots for beneficiaries who are at high or medium risk for Hepatitis B. The risk for Hepatitis B increases for people who have hemophilia, End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), diabetes, or certain conditions that lower their resistance to infection. There is no cost for the shot if the doctor or other qualified health care provider accepts assignment.
Pneumococcal shots: Medicare covers a pneumococcal shot to prevent pneumococcal infections (like certain types of pneumonia) and a different second shot one year later if necessary. All people with Part B are covered and pay nothing if the doctor accepts assignment.
Tobacco use cessation counseling: Medicare covers up to eight (8) face-to-face visits in a 12-month period for all people with Part B who use tobacco. There is no cost if the health care provider accepts assignment.
Make sure your clients know about these services!
This has been a long post, and there’s good reason for that: because Medicare covers a lot of preventive care. If you sell Medicare-related products like Medicare Advantage plans or Medicare supplements, chances are that the only time your clients learn about their benefits is when you visit with them, so it’s a great time to review the various types of preventive care that they may be eligible for. We all know that it’s far better to catch conditions early when the treatment is less costly and more effective, and our clients are much more likely to use these valuable benefits if they know what they have.
We’ll conclude by pointing you toward a short video Medicare has put together about the preventive services available to Medicare beneficiaries. You may want to consider putting this on your website. | 2,367 |
After providing details about how things ended with Ciara in part one of his Like I Never Left documentary, Future mocked the “I Bet” singer and her new man, Russell Wilson, in an interview with HuffPost Live.
If you thought he was done, he isn’t – Future continued to come for CiCi and Russell on Power 105’s “The Breakfast Club” this morning.
The 31-year-old Atlanta native talked all about feeding his fans hit after hit, the inspiration behind “Trap N*ggas,” whether or not Sprite had a problem with the naming of his Dirty Sprite series, his upcoming energy drink, not taking any advice on his new music, and more.
Future had a lot of interesting things to say. For one, he claims he’s only telling his side of the story where Ciara is concerned, because she never defended him when the media accused him of being a cheater. He also gets very serious when his son is brought into the conversation, ultimately warning his ex about including Baby Future in publicity stunts.
Even with the baby mama drama, Future maintains that he just wants Ciara to be happy and even goes as far as to say, ““I’m not thinking about her, man.” Watch the full interview above – he also talks about settling his beef with Drake, the Ciara “curse,” and more.
Sure sounds like you’re thinking about her, Nayvadius. Cool hat, though.

Home/Business/At $8,800, Is This 2003 Honda Civic Si A Hatch You Might Back?
The ad for today’s Nice Price or No Dice Civic Si touts the car’s respectably low mileage but counters that by showing us the plethora of dings, dents and chips the car has accumulated over those few miles. Let’s see which outweighs the other, and at what price.
Call me crazy, but I don’t think that a belt-driven supercharger is a performance accessory for the indecisive. The more I think about it, a blower install is pretty much a poop-or-get-off-the-pot hunk of horsepower. And yet, the seller of yesterday’s 1988 Pontiac Fiero implied that it could go both ways, showing the LX9-equipped car with both ambient air and pressurized intake systems and claiming the switch between each was a simple 90-minute operation.
That didn’t sit right with more than a few of you, and neither did the Pontiac’s $8,500 asking price. The voting showed no indecisiveness whatsoever, as the Fiero fell in a sizable 83 percent No Dice loss.
Considering its price range and sporting aspirations, it’s not surprising to find modded Fieros out there. In fact, when it comes to small, relatively cheap cars with sporty car dreams, it’s far less likely to find one that’s purely stock than one with a bunch of owner-imposed shenanigans.
Today’s 2003 Honda Civic Si looks to be one of those rare, unmolested cars. It seemingly has the goods, too. Under the short, sloping hood sits a 160 horsepower 2-liter version of the company’s K-series four. Maximum ponies are made by way of the DOHC VTEC breathing gear and a rev-loving bottom end. Nestled next to that is a five-speed manual driving the front wheels.
Interestingly, the hatchback Si had little in common with the remainder of the seventh-generation Civic line. Instead of originating in Japan or one of Honda’s North American plants, the hot hatch came out of the UK, from the company’s Swindon factory. The model’s cute-as-a-bug styling also stood in contrast to the two- and four-door sedan’s sharper edges.
According to the ad, this single-owner Si has done only 72,848 miles since leaving Swindon. That’s not so much, and the seller claims to have complete service records for the car from new. Frustratingly, every one of the meager miles this Civic has covered seems to have been hard-fought. The ad documents a number of bodywork imperfections, including chips, dings, scrapes and scuffs. The rear bumper cap alone appears to hold a history of parallel parking attempts at the Braille Institute.
On the plus side, the black paint does seem to hide many of the smaller issues adeptly when not under direct light, and all of the paint problems are purely aesthetic. There’s nothing here that should affect how the car runs and drives. Supporting that, the seller lays claim to it feeling “like new” on the road. Helping with that feeling is a set of fairly new Bridgestone tires and a fresh splash of oil in the sump.
The interior seems to have held up better than the exterior and features a cool dash-mounted shifter for the five-speed. That lives beneath the factory stereo. Cloth-covered sport buckets live up front while in the back there’s a split bench for a handy bit of utility. The car has air-conditioning, power windows and cruise control, so it should prove fairly livable if you’re the fancy sort.
Other aspects in this Si’s favor include a clean title and a recent smog test. The asking price for this well-running but slightly rough-looking Si is $8,800, and it’s now up to you to weigh in on whether that price looks better or worse than the paint.
What do you say, is this low-mileage Civic worth that $8,800 asking as it sits? Or, does that high a price demand outer beauty as well as inner?
H/T to Dan Beaufort for the hookup!

When you add the “alpha” male into the mix I think you are looking from a more narrowed pool of suitors.
For me, I did not find folks my age that had their ducks remotely in a row. I eventually expanded my age range older than I had in the past and met someone who is an amazing fit even though there is an age gap, it just doesn’t feel like it with us. It was a refreshing change to meet someone who was over their last long term relationship, had the wisdom and maturity to manage young adult kids and an ex who was also in a good headspace. At some point I realized I had to adjust some of my criteria (the nice to haves) but stuck to my must haves and it worked out. At least so far. | 166 |
The Scala
The Scala opened its doors in 1970. It had one thousand seats and every night, they were filled. In those days, going to the movies was something special. The cinema was a place where people got dressed up, went on dates, and fell in love. But today, everything has changed. There is a multiplex in every mall and the young generation watch movies on their phone. But at The Scala, time has stood still. The cinema is still run by many of the same staff who have been there from the beginning. It is now the last remaining standalone cinema left in Bangkok. And soon, its time will come to an end too. | 134 |

As the need for child day care has increased in the last decade, the child day care services industry began to fill the need of non-relative child care.
Preschool teachers, teacher assistants, and child care workers account for almost 8 out of 10 wage and salary jobs. About 42 percent of all child care workers have a high school degree or less, reflecting the minimal training requirements for most jobs. More than a quarter of all employees work part time, and nearly 18 percent of full-time employees in the industry work more than 40 hours per week. Job openings should be numerous because dissatisfaction with benefits, pay, and stressful working conditions causes many to leave the industry., the federally funded child care program designed to provide disadvantaged children with social, educational, and health.

007 had been at it for nearly 50 years when this film came about. It’s classic and innovative at the same time. It’s quite different from the previous Daniel Craig James Bond films thus far which seemed intent on shaving away everything down to the absolute bare essentials shedding the excesses of gadgetry and high spy living. While we won’t be seeing invisible cars or exploding pens anytime soon, it was nice to see the franchise being taken seriously. I, for one, missed the presence of Q (for Quartermaster we now learn) in the first two Craig films and it’s nice to see him (played with restraint and subtlety by the great Ben Whishaw) back in action here. Another vital part of the Bond franchise is reborn here but is such a refreshing surprise at the end that I’ll leave you to enjoy it/him/her.
The film opens with a chase through Istanbul foregoing the initial “Bond in the Crosshairs” intro customary to classic 007 flicks. It’s a daring chase on foot, car, motorscooter, and even atop a moving train. Bond is pursuing Patrice (Ola Rapace) an enemy agent in possession of the MI6 version of NOC list from the first Mission Impossible Film ie a list of embedded agents and their real names and faces. Bond is aided in his pursuit by Eve (the sassy and beautiful Naomie Harris) whose driving skills are top notch although her abilities as sniper could use a bit of work. The film’s opening theme begins with the sultry sounds of Adele’s Skyfall which is the best Bond theme in years at least since the 90’s anyway. The opening sequence, too is beautifully dark and gothic.
We, the faithful, have waited. We waited through the Apocrypha of Episodes I&II, the better than worse Episode III. We had misgivings about Lucas’ selling of all Star Wars rights to Disney until the MCU demonstrated it knew how to handle a film franchise. Even then, hearing news of an Episode VII gave birth to more misgivings until we realized who was in charge of it all. JJ Abrams. Here was the guy who rebooted the Star Trek franchise into a hip, happening film series with excellent casting and a lovely mix of old and new. He is a wizard in geek circles. Only Nixon could go to China, only Kirk could negotiate peace between Klingons and the Federation, and only Abrams could bring balance to the Force and allow it to awaken.
I think the main reason behind my not watching The Bodyguard until it recently aired on Japanese TV was, perhaps, the song. Theme songs for movies have a way of defining the film experience especially when it is saturating the airways like Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On”and, more recently,Disney’s “Let It Go.” It was the same for The Bodyguard. You couldn’t flip the radio station 3 times without coming upon it. Listeners would sing it (or attempt to, anyhow, as precious few can even dare to imitate Houston’s talent for more than 20 seconds without letting their unskilled cats out of the bag). So when I sat down to enjoy what I expected to be Whitney Houston’s Purple Rain, I was delightfully surprised to find it to be a well written, carefully sculpted thriller with strong performances by its two leads. | 728 |

Outside My Window
Cool, gray baking kind of day. Again:-)
I am Listening to
quiet. It is early morning and the house is nearly silent.
I am Wearing
Not my phone. I usually keep my cell phone in my pocket. Last Friday, it wiggled its way out, unbeknownst to me. I think we got two inches of rain on Friday, while my cell phone waited in the grass for me to notice I was without it. Karoline found it after the rain stopped. Poor phone. So, I'm currently on a cell phone fast.
I am so Grateful for
sharing hearts with Julie in my sewing room.
I'm Pondering
For of all the utter falsehoods, the most false, I think, is this notion that men can be happy in movement, when nothing but dullness drives them on from behind. . . . . G.K. Chesterton
I am Reading
The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains, at the suggestion of Tonia, who recommended it while we were discussing all things internet on Facebook last week.
I am Thinking
About this post and the full article linked there. While I agree with all his observations and premises, I don't agree with his ideas for solutions. I admit that I couldn't even discern if they were all hyperbole or not. But I am devoting a great deal of thought and prayer to my own life with electonics and how I want it to be. One thing is certain, I don't want it to be the way it is.
I'm thinking that life is short, surprisingly so, and that we will be held accountable for every moment we've been granted to live, every gift we've been given. Accounting aside, when you sit in a doctor's office and look at the shadow that should not be there on a radiology report, your first (or second or third) thought is not "I wish I'd spent more time surfing" or even "how am I going to blog this."
I want to live my life intentionally with the blessings of my first thought.
I am Creating
birthday surprises. Shhh...
I'm thinking birthday crowns (not the wool felt kind) and twirly skirts... (But not for Michael and Paddy)
To live the liturgy:
I love this time of year, as the feasts of special saints mingle with the celebrations of of the births of many of my children. We just celebrated the feast of St. Matthew (Matthew Christian's name day) and the feast of Padre Pio (the day Sarah was nearly born at 28 weeks). Now, we will march onward to St. Michael (and Michael's birthday--September 29), St. Jerome (and Katie's birthday--September 30), St. Therese (October 1), the feast of the Guardian Angels (and Patrick's birthday-October 2), the feast of St. Francis (and Karoline's birthday--October 4th).
Towards a Real Education
We added the final component to our slow ramp-up of a full-blown school schedule yesterday as another family joined us for Bible study. We all read together and talked a bit, then the little ones worked on a craft while the big ones discussed things more deeply. Conversation was so lively that we never got to the planned picture study before it was time to go. These teenagers are going to keep things interesting all year. I'm sure of that.
Towards Rhythm and Beauty
Sigh. Every September, the rhythm is rocky as we try to settle into all the activities we've chosen for the children. I have long adopted the attitude that if I trust it all to prayer, it will all work out. And it always does. This year, it's taking a very long time and we keep hitting bump after bump. The logistics of it all is overwhelming. But we're getting there. Literally.
I am Hoping and Praying
For two dear girls who are learning to trust that God has a plan and His plan is always good--and for all the people who love them and their parents. I really hate cancer all the time--this week has been particularly awful.
I am learning
to use GQueues. My friend Ann sent me the link. It was in my box on a day when I'd just finished entering every book we owned (so it seemed) into the Charlotte Mason Organizer. I took a quick look and sent the link to my friend Linda. I thought it would be perfect for Linda, but I doubted she would pursue because Linda is mostly unplugged when it comes to online anything. She's one of my best friends, but she doesn't even read my blog because she recognizes that she can easily get sucked into a huge time-waster here. Anyway, Linda thinks GQueues is amazing. She came to Stephen's soccer game on Sunday to tell me all about how awesome it is. I think that if Ann and Linda both sing its praises, it's probably worth my investment of time.
Around the House
I am stymied by the sheer volume of laundry.
I am also well on my way to getting help, at the urging of my sister and several in-real-life women friends who are as smart and beautiful as Rachel is and who get help:-). I wonder? Does getting help make one smart and beautiful?
From the Kitchen
Well, there will be birthday cake. Lots of it. Four birthday cakes between now and next Tuesday. What's your favorite cake?
Have I mentioned that I don't eat wheat and have sworn off sugar? In all seriousness, if you have a prayer to send on my behalf, I have no plan to forego making and decorating cakes for my kids, but I can't eat them. I'm working so hard to get back on track after the latst thyroid slip--there's no wiggle room for random wheat mistakes. Pray this all goes well, please?
On my iPod:
Jack Johnson I love this album. It's one of the reasons I don't understand why the author of the article I mentioned above thinks we should get rid of iTunes. Is he opposed to music altogether? Or is he just a big fan of CDs that get scratched and lost and broken?
One of My Favorite Things
Soccer friends who make weekends schlepping all over northern Virginia and the far reaches of Marlyand a fun family adventure.

Everyone has a certain amount of bacteria living in and on their body. Some species of bacteria are good for the body and help it to stay healthy. Other species can have a negative impact on the body. In acne, the bacteria known as Propionibacterium acnes (or P. acnes for short) can have an effect on the development acne ‘lesions’ (e.g. spots).
P. acnes lives on the skin and is commonly found within hair follicles, where it feeds on dead skin cells and sebum, which is the oil produced by your skin. If a hair follicle becomes blocked, or if the sebaceous gland starts to produce an increased level of sebum, then the conditions become ideal for P. acnes to rapidly multiply.
As P. acnes feeds, it releases substances that help it digest its nutrients. Some of these substances weaken the follicle wall and make it more susceptible to tearing. If the follicle wall splits then white blood cells will rush in to fight the bacteria, which can result in inflammation, redness and pus. The more bacteria that there are, the more white blood cells will arrive to fight it.
It is important to remember that the presence of bacteria on your skin is normal, and the development of acne is not a sign of poor hygiene. It is also important to remember that acne is not contagious. Everybody has a form of P. acnes living in and on their skin; certain strains are just more likely to cause inflammatory acne than others. | 315 |

There are a lot of websites that permit people post ads for pets they’re trying to re-residence. BUT… any third occasion entering your property breaches this security making it inconceivable to know the place the liability falls, if an animal is cared for improperly, doors are left unlocked or objects are broken or lacking. Georgia considers nearly each exotic animal to be ‘inherently harmful’, regardless of whether or not that is actually true. Next it’s essential resolve which animal fits the upkeep stage you and your loved ones can handle. However, raccoons can’t be imported over state strains, so the animal should come from within the state. The sitter conducts business with honesty and integrity and observes all federal, state and native laws pertaining to business operations and animal care.
At such occasions it is very important to explore all aspects of the euthanasia choice along with your veterinarian and with others whom you belief, to take heed to what your animal could also be attempting to inform you, and to belief your own intuition.

Mistreated animals might be confiscated by the village, and pet owners who violate the animal cruelty legislation can face a high-quality of between $500 and $5,000 for every violation. Yet grief at the loss of a beloved companion animal isn’t any totally different from that of losing a cherished good friend or particular member of the family. I’ve submitted just basic adoption purposes online, before chatting with anyone or even seeing a single pet and have been denied superficially.

> Oh come on! We MORE than make up for it by ethnic tensions and sectarianism.
Actually, we don't. For all the sectarian violence, Pakistan and the US had comparable homicide rates pre 2007. The spike in terrorism and the war in the north-west changed that but terrorism-related deaths are going down now.
In any case, for the richest country in the world to have the same homicide rate as the poorest doesn't look well.

Right now, e.g. PEM electrolysers are crazy expensive, because they're very low volume research items. Platinum might be also involved (but it's not intrinsic to the principle, just a particular electrocatalyst), which also does not make them cheap.
But an electrolysis device can be very cheap in principle, e.g. using KOH for electrolytes and carbon or nickel electrodes. The waste heat could be used for hot water preparation, so total efficiency would be quantitative.
Same thing with PV in principle. Unobtainium while NASA was using them, now dirt cheap out of China. | 128 |
The Irish (apart from the Loyalist half of Northern Ireland) view “British” as a political term with heavy connotations of imperialism and The Bad Times, and its hard not to sympathize with them. The Irish government objects to the use of the term when including Ireland and the UK had acknowledged this, foregoing use of the term in any official documents.
As for the Isle of Man, the term is Manx. I always remember it for the Manx cat, which is one of those kitties born without a tail.
