Most modern notebook and netbook computers come with a built-in microphone, but the device is often lacking in quality. External microphones are superior in most cases, but can be inconvenient for business professionals on-the-go; even executives and office workers who use desktop computers can feel frustrated with all the peripheral devices cluttering their desks. To streamline usability without sacrificing performance, you can install a Bluetooth headset to a PC and configure Windows to use the device as a microphone. Step 1 Turn on the headset. Click "Start," then "Devices and Printers." Click "Add a Device." Step 2 Select the headset from the list of wireless devices and then click "Next." Step 3 Click "Close" when the message "This Device Has Been Successfully Added to This Computer" appears. Step 4 Click "Start | Control Panel | Hardware and Sound | Manage Audio Devices." Click the "Recording" tab. Step 5 Select the Bluetooth headset and then click "Set Default." Click "OK" to use the headset as a microphone. - Confirm that Bluetooth communication is turned on before attempting to install the headset. Notebooks often feature a wireless or Bluetooth indicator light that glows green or blue when wireless communication is enabled. Writer Bio Ruri Ranbe has been working as a writer since 2008.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) - Tiny houses are starting to pop up in Central Virginia. Owners are disconnecting from the grid and going mobile for a fraction of the cost of a house, but, here in Central Virginia, there's one thing you absolutely need before you invest your time and money. Seth Numrich, one of the stars of AMC's "Turn" being shot here in Richmond, has a tiny house here in the Commonwealth. "He's here in the Richmond area about six months out of the year, so having a home that is more for him is more than what he can pull out of a suitcase is an important thing in his life," designer Thom Stanton explained. The tiny home is filled with Numrich's personal belongings and has everything he needs in 240 square feet, including a small marine refrigerator, RV-size stove, a horse trough re-purposed into a tub, and a cubic wood stove. Seth's sleeping loft holds a queen-size bed. "Composting toilet, he has solar collection, rain water catchment." Thom adds. And, the whole thing is portable and highway-safe, with Numrich's home being 18 feet by 8-and-a-half feet. When Seth decided he wanted to build a tiny house, he went to Thom Stanton. Seth cut some costs by putting in 1,000 hours of his own time. " You could build one for as little as $25,000," Thom said, remarking that Seth's home cost "about $40,000." As Thom has found, The concept of living with less is catching on across America, but here, some tiny house owners have hit a snag. You have to have a designated place to put it. "We, and most jurisdictions are, set up in subdivisions, set up for single family dwellings, it's single family. You're only allowed to have one dwelling per lot, so as soon as you introduce a second dwelling unit, you're in violation of the ordinance." according to Chesterfield County's Ron Clements, who is the Assistant Director of the Department of Building Inspection. Same case in Henrico, plus zoning officials say homes must be at least 900 square feet. Hanover says it's possible to own a tiny house there, but only if you have your own land and are not part of a subdivision. Seth's tiny house should be safe where it is. His show was just renewed. When he comes back to film, his home awaits and when the show is over, he can take it with him. Bottom line, do your homework. Ask zoning and inspections what's allowed where you live before you invest. Copyright 2016 WWBT NBC12. All rights reserved

Hey all Been viewing the reddit and have decided that ours is just to slow for the kids now. I've opened it up and taken a few pictures I've noticed that the is holes for two gearbox things but the car only uses one on the rear. Would i simply be able to replace the 6v motor and battery for 12v straight swap? Or would it be be best if I added another rear gearbox and 6v motor to the other side? Would this also need another battery? https://ibb.co/bSG3Wy https://ibb.co/hevfBy https://ibb.co/eRfDWy https://ibb.co/c5cGjJ Seems like it should easily fit after removing these spacers I recently purchased a used PW Dune Racer for my daughter. I didn't realize it at the time but one of the motors doesn't work (or at least the wheel doesn't turn) and the speed selector won't go into the faster gear. So I'm thinking I can mod it a little bit and find out this is very common. Thinking about upgrading the motors, battery, and installing a new speed selector. I've read a little about the motors and watched a bunch of 18 and 24v conversions online. I don't know much about working with electricity but these conversions seem to make sense. Is there anything that is a good intro to modding these things? Something that provides some info on options - battery types, motors, selectors, etc with pros and cons. Neighbors were getting rid of a 6v girls power-wheel. It's a dream machine half horse half chariot, real looker LOL. Trouble is it has the green 6v battery, and no charger. I can't seem to find a 6v charger that I can buy for it. Is it easier to get some sort of mod kit and use a 12v or 18v something with a charger that is newer? Hey. I Just got a power wheels with no battery. I have a few batteries and a power supply, just wondering if anyone can help me out with cables/wires(what to get). I want to make a wire harness for the power supply and have a connector on it that i can use different batteries and splice the wires from the power wheel to the batteries. I want the connection to be water proof, high quality and easy to use. Soldering or crimping is not an issue. Thank you!! Hey everyone I am sorry if this had been asked before but I am looking for rubber tires to get for my son's Corvette Stingray. I absolutely hate the plastic. I just unlocked the 5mph for my son and he's doing awesome in it but he definitely needs some real tires if anyone can direct me to that? In a unrelated question, while I am here... The plug on the battery keeps sliding out and obviously stops the car. Anyone else have this issue with the plug popping out? Any fix? I just wrapped electric tape around... Seems to work but something better? Thanks all! I've done a few Powerwheels (knockoffs as well) mods and my kids always find a way to break them. After much testing and trying, I stumbled across a way to build a child's electric car that can deal with anything and any terrain they throw at it. In the interests of sharing the design and what I have learn't, I setup a website and documented how to build one here. The cost to build one is about $300AUD and the kids love them. I know what I can/want to do with the dune racer. My question is what can be done with the kids trax? I need to replace the grill guard and one tail light cover, where could I find those pieces? I am new to this and got the PW ninja quad for free and need to purchase a new battery. Would it be best just to purchase name brand or just find one that works. Ninja Quad https://imgur.com/gallery/1RDkrVD Not sure about this connector or what type of battery just know the voltage. Reading threads back in the day when lithium batteries were fairly new tech still had people saying they couldnt keep up with the output. Batteries are getting pretty affordable these days, so i figured maybe putting two 18 batteries in a parallel circuit would aleiviate some of that load. Has anyone down the power tool 18 mods? How well do they work. Modding Power Wheels

Massachusetts Sick Leave Law By Joseph T. Bartulis, Jr. on October 19, 2019In November 2014, Massachusetts voters passed a ballot question to require all Massachusetts private sector employers to grant employees time off from work for sick leave. The law took effect July 1, 2015 and contains a number of interesting nuances detailed below. All private sector employers in Massachusetts are now required to afford employees up to 40 hours of sick leave per year. Whether the sick leave is paid for or not depends upon the number of employees the employer has. If the employer has 11 or more employees, the employer must provide these days as paid leave. Conversely, while those employers with 10 or fewer employees also need to allow for the use of up to 40 hours of sick time, the employees' use of those hours need not be paid. Unlike employment laws which define employees by the number of hours they work or by some other measure, the new sick leave law does not define employee with any degree of precision. It merely defines an employee as "any person who performs services for an employer for wage, remuneration, or other compensation." Accordingly, unless and until further insight is provided in the regulations anticipated from the Attorney General's office before the effective date of the law, one should consider all employees as counting toward the 11-person threshold -- regardless of whether they are full-time, part-time, seasonal, temporary, etc. Suffice it to say, any person who is working as a W2 employee should be counted. Absent contrary information contained in the forthcoming regulations from the Attorney General's office, temporary workers who provide services to your company as employees of another employer (e.g., temp/staffing agency) and those people who provide services as independent contractors need not be counted. (For guidance on whether a worker may be properly classified as an independent contractor rather than employee, see my prior article on our website, A Quick Look at the Rigid Massachusetts Independent Contractor Law.) The new sick leave law provides that employees will accrue, beginning on July 1, one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours of work performed by hourly paid employees, to a maximum accrual of 40 hours. Salaried employees are assumed, for sick leave accrual purposes, to work 40 hours per week. Once an employee has accrued 40 hours of sick leave in a given year, he or she will not accrue any more sick days regardless of the number of hours he or she actually worked during the rest of the year. Newly hired employees may not access any accrued statutory sick leave until they have completed 90 days of employment with that employer. Not surprisingly, there is nothing in the new law, for example, which requires an employer that presently has a more generous sick leave accrual policy from granting more than 40 hours of sick leave in a year, or from allowing new hires to access their sick leave earlier than after 90 days of employment. While many Massachusetts employers, understandably, have generous sick leave policies and broadly define the allowable uses for sick time, there are some employers that offer sick time only when their employee is actually the one who is sick. Those employers do not allow it to be used for the sickness of another person. Under the new law, limiting sick leave use to an employee's illness will not be permitted. In addition to allowing sick employees to access their sick leave when they are sick, injured, etc., the new law also provides that employees may use their accrued sick time to care for any sickness, injury or medical condition of one's children, spouse, parent or spouse's parents. Additionally, employees may use accrued sick time to address issues related to the effects of domestic violence – including psychological and legal effects, in addition to physical effects. (For more guidance on domestic violence leave, please see my prior article on our website, Massachusetts Passes Legislation Requiring Covered Employers to Provide Domestic Violence Leave for Employees.) Just as many employers presently have sick leave policies that cover only sick employees and not their family members, many employers with paid sick leave require that employees take sick leave in increments of full, half, or quarter days of work. Under the new law, employees may use sick time in increments as small as one hour (or even smaller increments if the employer provides for it.) Beyond the scope of this short article, Massachusetts employers may have a number of additional logistical questions regarding the new sick leave law. I will now briefly detail a few of the most common areas. - First, there is nothing in the new law which requires that employers who presently offer more generous sick leave and/ or who offer one broad category of paid leave time which encompasses vacation, personal and sick time which collectively meets or exceeds the statutory sick leave requirements to change their current leave time offerings, so long as the accrual and usage elements of the employer's policy also meet or exceed the requirements of the law. - Second, as is the case presently, there is nothing in the new law which requires an employer to pay an employee for unused sick time when he or she leaves the employer's employ. - Third, the new law does allow employees to carry over unused sick time from one year into the next. Employees may now carry over as many of their then-current year's sick days as they have remaining, up to a maximum of 40 hours, into the next year. When this carryover occurs, the employer is not required to allow the employee to accrue additional sick days. - Fourth, the new law is very precise about when an employer may request the production of documentation regarding the illness. An employer may not request medical documentation regarding an employee's absence unless the employee has missed 24 or more consecutive scheduled work hours. - Fifth, for employers with unionized employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, the new sick leave law makes it clear that nothing in the new law creates a unilateral right of an employer to alter a more generous sick leave benefit in the bargaining agreement. Likewise, the new sick leave law does not absolve an employer from having to bargain over sick leave, which is a mandatory subjectof bargaining, if the union makes a proposal to do so at collective bargaining negotiations. - Sixth, an employer may not require an employee to look for nor find a replacement worker to fill in for him or her as a prerequisite to being allowed to access accrued sick leave. While we await further guidance from the Attorney General's office regarding some of the intricacies of the new law in the forthcoming regulations, all private sector employers in Massachusetts will need to review their current employee handbooks and revise them as needed to comply with new requirements regarding, among other things, how sick time is accrued, what it can be used for, how it can be carried forward into the next year, and when documentation can be required, etc. If you would like to have your company's employee handbook reviewed to make sure it is compliant with this and the myriad of other employment laws that have changed in recent years, please contact me today.

"a dozen reasons to oppose the death penalty," an updated version of my 1982 america article, includes a longer discussion of religious views than the one in the 1982 article. On crime, punishment, and reform of the criminal justice system athene noctua: undergraduate philosophy journal issue no i (spring 2013) 2 montesquieu also recalls a story that intricately shows the disturbed nature of the legal system and the. A possible and authentic development of church teaching about capital punishment force, including lethal force, all substantial crimes, as infractions of public order (understood as above) (2) state punishment for crime is essentially retributive, for the sake of thus the main effects of the revision, given its ambiguities and. The measure of punishment in a given case must depend upon the atrocity of the crime, the conduct of the criminal and the defenceless and unprotected state of the victim. The evidence for capital punishment as a uniquely effective deterrent to murder is especially important, since deterrence is the only major pragmatic argument on the pro-death penalty side [1] the purpose of this paper is to survey and evaluate the evidence for deterrence. The first attempted reforms of the death penalty in the us occurred when thomas jefferson introduced a bill to revise virginia's death penalty laws the bill proposed that capital punishment be used only for the crimes of murder and treason. Capital punishment is the execution of a person by the state as punishment for a crime crimes that can result in the death penalty are known as capital crimes or capital offenses capital punishment has been used in societies throughout history as a way to punish crime and suppress political dissent. The concept of punishment—its definition—and its practical application and justification during the past half-century have shown a marked drift away from efforts to reform and rehabilitate offenders in favor of retribution and incarceration. The death of the death penalty why the era of capital punishment is ending by david von drehle the case of dzhokhar tsarnaev absorbed americans as no death-penalty drama has in years. Capital punishment deters crime, curbs recidivism, controls overcrowding and reduces the cost of maintaining inmates serving life sentences a number of econometric studies conducted between 1978 and 2000 in the united states by a number of scholars bear the truth about the deterrence abilities of capital punishment (paul r z , 2006, 34. In order for a punishment to be effective, the possible penalty must outweigh the potential benefits (eg, financial payoff) of the given crime for a punishment to attain its end, the evil which it inflicts has only to exceed the advantage derivable from the crime in this excess of evil one should include theloss of the good which the. Reasons for capital punishment it ought to be clear to anyone familiar with the biblical record that god is not against capital punishment it was his idea he started it and a tooth for a tooth--the point being that the punishment must fit the crime if somebody steals a loaf of bread, we don't whack their arm off. Advocates of capital punishment began proposing new capital statutes which they believed would end discrimination in capital sentencing, therefore satisfying a majority of the court. Use of capital punishment by states continues its steady decline, with fewer death sentences handed down in 2009 than any year since the death penalty was reinstated by the supreme court in 1976. The first author tries to dispel the myth of the death sentence "acting as a deterrent" he claims that the long standing use of this harsh punishment in the usa has not proven its effectiveness in curbing crime rates.

Capital punishment was replaced by incarceration as the primary form of punishment on crime, a process with slow and insidious effects on the criminals and the public as the penitentiary system grew in the nineteenth century, execution was abandoned as a form of deterrence. Punishment is by definition retroactive and is a blunt instrument - it usually does little or nothing to address the original cause of offending or the offender's problems, nor does it generally do anything to directly compensate the victims. Capital punishment is not a deterrent to capital crimesdeterrence is a function not only of a punishment's severity, but also of its certainty and frequency the argument most often cited in support of capital punishment is that the threat of execution influences criminal behavior more effectively than imprisonment does. When we consider theories of organized criminal behavior discussed in this beccaria also espoused the idea that the punishment should fit the crime capital punishment is an example of general deterrence although evidence indicates the contrary, the purpose of.

Dave Valentin Renown Latin jazz flutist, Dave Valentin, was born of Puerto Rican parents in 1952 in New York City. His love for music started quite early; playing bongos and congas before he was 10 and even working Latin clubs in New York by 12. His talent and interest took him to the well respected High School of Music and Art in New York City, where he began studying percussion. Valentin changed to flute and complemented his formal education at school with private classes under master flutist Hubert Laws. The early influences on Valentin's development as a flutist came from Latin artists such as Richard Egues but was tempered by American jazz musicians including James Moody, Frank Wess, Joe Farrell and, of course, his mentor, Hubert Laws. Valentin soon began working as a professional musician in Latin bands, developing an unusual technique that featured blowing in a manner that sounded like percussion. Other unique developments by Valentin included singing into the flute and using non-standard flute instruments such a bass flute and a variety of flute developed in Colombia. He applied his techniques to a wide variety of music genres, ranging from jazz and R&B to salsa and merengue. Despite the fact that the market for Latin jazz artists was not very good when Valentin was trying to establish his professional career, he persevered and pursued other avenues. He made a name for himself in the Far East, Australia, and Europe as well as the United States, based on his extraordinary and evident talent. Valentin released his debut album in 1977 with Ricardo Marrero and also appeared on a recording by Noel Pointer. He was the first artist to sign with the GRP label, respected for its talented pool of Jazz artists and technical leadership in digital recording techniques. Valentin produced 16 recordings for GRP, and became a respected Latin jazz instrumentalist in the market. A highpoint release was a joint effort with Herbie Mann, 1990's "Two Amigos." His more recent recordings were released on other record labels, such as "Primitive Passions" in 1996 on RMM Records. That album was followed by "Sunshower" in 1999 on the Concord Jazz label, and featuring more smooth Latin jazz, such as "Reunion," which shows the great influence of Hupert Laws. To his artistic credit, Valentin is also a composer, arranger, and band leader in addition to being the most celebrated Latin flutist today.

On harder training days, I consume upward of 500 g of carbs. It all comes down to finding the amount of carbs your body can actually utilize and consuming them strategically, rather than letting cravings or social situations determine it for you. Out-of-control carb intake leads to unwanted spikes in insulin, which lead to fat gain. It's that simple. Unfortunately, glute weakness often becomes exacerbated when we sit all day; those muscles don't activate while seated. "Plus, sitting decreases bloodflow, further deconditioning the muscles," Pandya says. So, before you do anything else, he suggests getting yours more action: Try to get up for five minutes every hour and, twice a day, squeeze your butt for three seconds and release, repeating for eight to 12 reps. Contrary to certain rumors that animal-based protein is more suitable to trigger muscle growth than plant-based protein, a study by Mangano et al. (2017) could not provide any evidence for this. In contrast, if combined properly, plant-based protein can even have a higher biological quality. A combination of one part wheat protein (e.g. seitan) and two parts soy protein (e.g. tofu) has thus been favored by many bodybuilders. Some bodybuilders, such as Patrik Baboumian and Robert Cheeke, follow a strict vegan diet.[37] In recent years, the related areas of fitness and figure competition have increased in popularity, surpassing that of female bodybuilding, and have provided an alternative for women who choose not to develop the level of muscularity necessary for bodybuilding. McLish would closely resemble what is thought of today as a fitness and figure competitor, instead of what is now considered a female bodybuilder. Fitness competitions also have a gymnastic element to them. A study by the Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine found that female bodybuilders who are taking anabolic steroids are more likely to have qualified for substance dependence disorder, to have been diagnosed with a psychiatric illness, or to have a history of sexual abuse.[14] SOURCES: Debbie Siebers, certified personal trainer; developer of fitness video/DVD programs.

WebMD Live Event transcript: "Fall Into Fitness Richard Weil, MEd, CDE," Sept. 2, 2003. Although muscle stimulation occurs in the gym (or home gym) when lifting weights, muscle growth occurs afterward during rest periods. Without adequate rest and sleep (6 to 8 hours), muscles do not have an opportunity to recover and grow.[citation needed] Additionally, many athletes find that a daytime nap further increases their body's ability to recover from training and build muscles. Some bodybuilders add a massage at the end of each workout to their routine as a method of recovering.[50] (4) Insulin is a fat storage hormone - this isn't true, okay kinda. Like I mentioned, both insulin and protein trigger insulin. If insulin was the issue than high protein intakes should has a worse reputation beyond what it currently has. Insulin has a job of transporting nutrients into cells. Carbs have a more direct connection to insulin than protein, so when carbs are consumed, insulin is spiked higher. Insulin will take the carbs (sugars) and transport them into cells for energy and then the rest into glycogen to save for later. If glycogen is full, then insulin still has a job to do. It doesn't just float around dumb founded. It takes the carbs (sugars) and stores then into fat. It's smart like that. But, we abuse that system by eating too many carbs and being in a surplus. The body doesn't want to convert carbs into fat, that's what fats are for, yet we abuse and do it anyways.

This fat can only make us gain IF we keep it their. And most people don't exercise which keeps fat unused. Sure, fats directly leads to fat gain, but again that doesn't make us fat unless we keep it their. Weight gain vs fat gain is different. Fat increases before weight does, then overtime it starts to show that fat makes up most of the weight. Same for people with muscle. As I mentioned earlier, the exercises that come first in your workout (aka primary compound exercises) should usually be done in the 5-8 rep range. Exercises in the middle (aka your secondary compound exercises) should usually be done in the 8-10 rep range. Exercises done at the end of your workout (which is typically where isolation exercises belong) should usually be done in the 10-15 rep range. Bodybuilding became more popular in the 1950s and 1960s with the emergence of strength and gymnastics champions, and the simultaneous popularization of bodybuilding magazines, training principles, nutrition for bulking up and cutting down, the use of protein and other food supplements, and the opportunity to enter physique contests. The number of bodybuilding organizations grew, and most notably the International Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB) was founded in 1946 by Canadian brothers Joe and Ben Weider. Other bodybuilding organizations included the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), National Amateur Bodybuilding Association (NABBA), and the World Bodybuilding Guild (WBBG). Consequently, the male-dominated contests grew both in number and in size. Besides the many "Mr. XXX" (insert town, city, state, or region) championships, the most prestigious titles[according to whom?] were Mr. America, Mr. World, Mr. Universe, Mr. Galaxy, and ultimately Mr. Olympia, which was started in 1965 by the IFBB and is now considered the most important bodybuilding competition in the world. Take note to see if the thigh rests down parallel to the ground (Picture 2) or if it stays up in the air (Picture 1) (You will need someone to be nearby to see what your leg does). Perform on both sides and compare. If the thigh does not stay raised up in the air then there is no true hip flexor tightness and stretching does not need to be performed. If one of the thigh/legs stays up noticeably higher than the other, then stretching will need to be performed. If your leg is able to hang down comfortably parallel to the ground or lower then you passed the test! It's a lofty goal: Gain 10 pounds of muscle in just one month. While such results are aggressive and can't continue at the same torrid rate indefinitely, we've seen firsthand individuals who've followed our mass-gaining programs and reached double digits in four short weeks, averaging gains of 2-3 pounds a week. Trust us, it can be done. But if there's one thing such a bold goal needs, it's an ambitious training and nutrition strategy. In regard to nutrition, don't even think about taking that aspect lightly. You can work out all you want, but if you don't ingest adequate calories and macronutrients, you won't build muscle. What and when you eat is paramount to your results, and you'll find all you need to know about gaining mass in a short amount of time in our bulking diet meal plan. 2-4 Minutes Rest: Ideal for "tension exercises," which includes most primary compound exercises. I personally take 3 minutes for the big stuff, sometimes going into the 3-4 minute range depending on exactly what I'm doing and what I feel like I need at the time. Since making strength gains is the main focus of these exercises, longer rest periods like this will be optimal for making it happen. Want to know one of the top reasons runners end up hurt? Look at your backside. Underutilized gluteal muscles are to blame for a large percentage of injuries, says Nirav Pandya, M.D., assistant professor of orthopedic surgery at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center. And it's a weakness that often occurs because runners are hyperfocused on building strong quads and hamstrings.

Penalties also range from organization to organization from suspensions to strict bans from competition. It is also important to note that natural organizations also have their own list of banned substances and it is important to refer to each organization's website for more information about which substances are banned from competition. There are many natural bodybuilding organizations; some of the larger ones include: MuscleMania, Ultimate Fitness Events (UFE), INBF/WNBF, and INBA/PNBA. These organizations either have an American or worldwide presence and are not limited to the country in which they are headquartered. When it comes to building muscle, your body only knows or cares about the tension, fatigue and damage an exercise is generating… not the type of equipment you were using when performing that exercise. It really couldn't give the slightest crap about that. For this reason, ALL types of exercises and ALL types of equipment are capable of stimulating muscle growth.

Monday, August 29, 2005 Katrina was one angry woman. I awoke this morning to news that Hurricane Katrina was downgraded to a Category 4 and had veered to the east, sparing the catastrophe that had been predicted. But the news assured their voyeuristic viewers that there would be devastation nontheless. One weather man stated it aptly when he pointed out that there is no easy side to a category 4 hurricane. One city's good fortune was another's disaster. Biloxi and Mobile were going to get the brunt of Katrina's wrath. And, boy did they ever. And I'm sure that those whose homes and businesses were destroyed in New Orleans don't feel all that lucky. I went about my day as normal, but every so often I would log onto various news websites to check on the progress. It felt strange that while my day was progressing normally, peoples' lives were being dramatically altered just a few hours away. Usually, we don't monitor the progress of devastation; we see its aftermath. It seems the only times we can do this is during a hurricane or a war. When I've seen enough, I click the mouse and I'm back to my normal life. We received the good news that a family member was safe. She lives in Baton Rouge with her husband. They had power, but the winds were 65 mph and raining hard. The roads were closed so they were staying home. Good. I later saw footage of flooded downtown Pascagoula, Mississippi. I had worked there on an assignment one summer and hoped everyone I knew was safe and sound. Ironically, my last day in Pascagoula was when Hurricane Danny hit in 1997. It had been a tropical storm shortly before hitting, barely meeting the qualifications of a hurricane. Totally different from this one. Early in the day, I read about people refusing to leave. One man angrily said he didn't like mandatory evacuations. Later, I read about a man talking to a reporter on a cellphone from his house in New Orleans begging for help. When I saw footage of people standing on rooftops waiting to be rescued, I wondered why they thought they could beat a monster storm. I later realized that many of those people were in the poorest areas of our country and did not have the means to leave the path of the storm. Being able to leave and defying the odds is stupid. Being doomed due to economic circumstances is tragically sad. And then there are the people who try to make lemonade from other people's lemons. On my way home tonight, my daughter called from Murray, Kentucky to tell about gas gouging there. She reported that gas in Paducah was selling for $4.00 a gallon, and stations in Murray were starting to raise their prices. The reasoning was that all of the oil production in New Orleans was stopped. Hopefully, that will be corrected by morning and the gougers summarily shot. OK, not shot. Tarred and feathered. OK, OK. Sent to their rooms without supper, TV, DVD, iPod or laptop. After I got home from work, I spent some time watching some of the news footage on the various networks. There were the obligatory shots of reporters attempting to stand up in hurricane force winds. That reminded me of the joke about a weather rock. (To paraphrase an old joke, if a reporter is perpendicular to a sign post, there's a hurricane.) There were the shots of people standing on roofs hoping for rescue, some rescues, floods, floods, floods, and floods. I became very irritated with various reporters who seemed to be reassuring me there would be more deaths than the three nursing home patients who died while being evacuated. I was getting the feeling that they felt their jobs were in jeopardy unless there was substantial deaths to accompany the destruction. Many people lost homes, possessions and jobs. Wasn't that enough? I watched Anderson Cooper trying to stand still next to a crane which had come loose in the screeching winds. I imagined his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, at home in her New York City penthouse apartment, drinking her morning coffee while watching her son report from inside the jaws of a bitch of a hurricane,debris flying around, standing next to a crane precariously flapping around. I wondered if she thought to herself "I raised an idiot." Other stories filed by Cooper had him excitedly pointing out pieces of signs blowing around; apparently his trademark in hurricane reporting. There was another reporter on CNN whose name escapes me who seems to like to duck walk in high winds so he can get behind stationary objects to report that it's very windy and to caution everyone to stay inside. A young female reporter in Alabama was trying hard not to get blown down the street. I wondered if her cameraman and producer would tape the whole thing if she did, or if they would go help her. Fortunately, she made it back. I think. Maybe they turned off the camera before she blew away. Nah, she's OK. There would be footage otherwise. And just as I had watched all I could, CNN apparently had had their fill as well and went to regular programming, which prompts me to ask: Who is Nancy Grace and why is she yelling at me? That is one angry woman. 6 comments: Seeing the 1993 floods in St. Louis up close made me realize how innocuous such things look on TV, compared to how godawful they are in person.

Merit-based incentive payment system participation and after-hours documentation among US office-based physicians: Findings from the 2021 National Electronic Health Records Survey. After-hours documentation burden among US clinicians is often uncompensated work and has been associated with burnout, leading health systems to identify root causes and seek interventions to reduce this. A few studies have suggested quality programme participation (e.g., Merit-Based Incentive Payment System [MIPS]) was associated with a higher administrative burden. However, the association between MIPS participation and after-hours documentation has not been fully explored. Thus, this study aims to assess whether participation in the MIPS programme was independently associated with after-hours documentation burden. We used 2021 data from the National Electronic Health Records Survey. We used a multivariable ordinal logistic regression model to assess whether MIPS participation was associated with the amount of after-hours documentation burden when controlling for other factors. We controlled for physician age, specialty, sex, number of practice locations, number of physicians, practice ownership, whether team support (e.g., scribes) is used for documentation tasks, and whether the practice accepts Medicaid patients. We included 1801 office-based US physician respondents with complete data for variables of interest. After controlling for other factors, MIPS participation was associated with greater odds of spending a greater number of hours on after-hours documentation (odds ratio = 1.44, 95% confidence interval 1.06-1.95). MIPS participation may increase after-hours documentation burden among US office-based physicians, suggesting that physicians may require additional resources to more efficiently report data.

Asteroid mining and other space resource issues have caused some debates about the relevance of the Outer Space Treaty in the modern era. (credit: Bryan Versteeg/Deep Space Industries) Presently, humanity is releasing a rapidly progressing technological wave, and commercial "NewSpace" ventures seem to be riding the crest. In September 2017, SpaceX presented a design for its BFR vehicle, upon which it plans to launch cargo and eventually crewed missions to Mars with the goal of building a civilization on the Red Planet.1 Two United States-based companies are planning future asteroid resource mining operations: Planetary Resources, founded in 2008, will attempt to scout potential harvesting sites for water,2 while Deep Space Industries, founded in 2013, has similar plans.3 Blue Origin4 and Virgin Galactic5 are looking to bring passengers to outer space as tourists, and Bigelow Aerospace6 hopes to build expandable space modules for commercial and governmental use. These activities are far from those of the Cold War era, when the United States and Soviet Union fought for dominance in, among other areas, spaceflight, including which nation would be the first to send people to the moon. As technology and capability has radically improved in the years since the Space Race, the political climate and legal landscape have changed, as well. In 1967, during the height of the Cold War, the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies (Outer Space Treaty, or OST) was drafted to ensure outer space would be available for "exploration and use" by "all countries,"7 and that the "Moon and other celestial bodies shall be used by all States Parties to the Treaty exclusively for peaceful purposes."8 Despite the fact that the OST contains sometimes-undefined terms and vague language, it remains valid and relevant to today's commercial space activity, and should continue to exist as it stands for a key reason: national legislation can be drafted to clarify activities that are not directly addressed in the OST, but do not appear to be explicitly prohibited. It has been said that the OST is a direct product of the Cold War and "primarily addresses concerns of that era," which includes, according to Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-OK), nuclear proliferation.9 Joanne Gabrynowicz, professor emerita at the University of Mississippi School of Law, explains the OST "mentions 'nongovernmental agencies' only once… [a]nd because of that oversight, there is no U.S. agency with jurisdiction of on-orbit authority.'"10 Issues, or "gaps," such as these, plus the fact that certain terms remain undefined or vague, would only likely be fully addressed if the UN amends the existing OST or drafts new treaties.11 However, "in the current political climate, there is little political will or interest in new treaties;" Gabrynowicz further explains it appears that "[national] legislation and regulation is the only plausible avenue for modernizing the legal framework in outer space right now."12 Another possibility for "revising the rules for space operators" could be the implementation of "soft law," or rules and guidelines as opposed to binding legislation.13 These rules would set "standards of conduct for agreeing parties," and the policy would work because "it is in the interest of all parties to abide by it."14 The peaceful use of outer space, governmental oversight of commercial actors, and resource extraction are in the interest of all parties involved in space activity; even those who do not conduct space mining operations could benefit from the resources acquired by that industry. However, because soft law is not binding and does not "have teeth," it appears that national legislation is the best way to accomplish clarification of activity under the OST. Because of the recent emergence of space resource extraction endeavors, two of the most-discussed Articles of the OST are Articles II and VI. Article II states: "[o]uter space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means."15 Article VI states, "States Parties to the Treaty shall bear international responsibility for national activities in outer space… whether such activities are carried on by governmental agencies or by non-governmental entities," and non-governmental activity requires "authorization and continuing supervision by the appropriate State Party," which means a State must have a form of licensing process for its commercial space actors.16 In one of the more hotly-debated issues in space law, Article II of the OST appears to prohibit space resource extraction. Celestial bodies are not subject to "national appropriation,"17 but what is "national appropriation?" If a commercial entity is conducting operations in outer space, can they be considered "national activities" because Article VI's "authorization and supervision" clause hooks them into State oversight? Does State oversight make commercial space activity inherently "national"? Now that the potential for certain NewSpace companies to extract resources from asteroids or the Moon is becoming a reality, should we amend the OST to clarify and verify space mining is allowed? It may not be necessary. According to Andrew Lintner, just because a government is authorizing and supervising an entity engaged in extraction does not mean [extracting] space resources would necessarily amount to national appropriation. Article VI merely requires that States monitor the activities of its entities, not that the monitoring State has property rights over the resources such entities extract.18 Thus, it could be argued that Planetary Resources and Deep Space Industries can proceed with their mining operations without concern they are somehow claiming "national appropriation" because they are not conducting national activity (the companies would still be subject to authorization and continuing supervision per Article VI of the OST and US law—the Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act of 2015—which both explicitly state resource mining activity shall not violate Article II and shall abide by Article VI). Gabrynowicz notes in a letter to Congress that the law permits "appropriation by any other means," as it allows the harvesting of in situ resources.19 Merriam-Webster's website defines "in situ" as, "in the natural or original position or place", 20 and mining in situ resources entails digging below the surface of a celestial body. Therefore, Gabrynowicz argues this is "appropriation by any other means," and may be in violation of the OST.21 Additionally, Ricky Lee explains that because there appears to be State acceptance of a prohibition on claiming property rights in outer space, "it may be prudent to consider that, regardless of the appropriate interpretation to be given to Article II of the Outer Space Treaty, States and private nationals may not be able to claim or exercise exclusive property rights on celestial bodies."22 Other analysis of language in the act indicates space resource mining does not violate the OST, as it expressly states no claims of appropriation or sovereignty may be made. While national appropriation of space, including celestial bodies, is not permitted, clear prohibition of harvesting resources is absent. Therefore, according to the International Institute of Space Law, "in view of the absence of a clear prohibition of the taking of resources in the Outer Space Treaty one can conclude that the use of space resources is permitted."23 In a May 2017 hearing before the US Senate Subcommittee on Space, Science, and Competitiveness titled "Reopening the American Frontier: Exploring How the Outer Space Treaty Will Impact American Commerce and Settlement in Space," several panelists offered opinions on whether the US should consider amending the OST or withdrawing altogether. All panelists were of the opinion that the OST should continue to stand.24 Laura Montgomery states Article VI does not create a burden to US commercial companies until Congress says it does, and regulatory bodies should not create a burden by creating a cumbersome licensing process; she believes the OST, itself, is actually "light-touch."25 The aforementioned law prohibits "national appropriation" of celestial bodies, and provides an avenue for authorization and continuing supervision under Article VI but intends to maintain the "light touch" and non-burdensome regulatory oversight. The law is a solid example of how national legislation clarifies how modern innovative commercial space activities can continue to develop while continuing to abide by the OST, and Montgomery's interpretation that the OST is "light-touch" gives commercial space companies room to mature while continuing to obey international law. As leaving the cradle of Earth becomes more of a reality, we must not only continue to develop the technology and capability to reach further into the stars, but also maintain order as we evolve. The OST has stood for 50 years, and while it is sometimes vague, it creates a good system under which we can progress. It allows room for State interpretation to encourage innovation, but provides law that prevents human endeavors in outer space from descending into chaos.

Drop off your CV We serve the global HR community through our offices located in Delhi, Hong Kong, London, New York, São Paulo and Singapore and have placed HR leaders in over 30 countries. There have been several awards recently for the Best Employer in Singapore, most celebrating... There have been several awards recently for the Best Employer in Singapore, most celebrating different winners. Obviously each has their own criteria they have drawn on, but I wanted to see who the Best Employer in Singapore was through the lens of a recruiter, or rather, this recruiter, me. The View of a Recruiter When a candidate tells me that they want to leave their job I always reflect on the company they are working for – are there a lot of employees who also want to leave? Is this a trend? For me, the worst company would be the one that has the highest percentage of employees who want to leave it, and conversely the best company would have the lowest percentage of employees who would want to leave. With LinkedIn's Recruiter platform we are able to search for the total number of employees in the company for a given location as well as the number of employee's who have selected "Open to Work". What most people don't realise is that once selected, the Open to Work option only stays active for three months, so the data that is presented is very recent. Also, LinkedIn frequently shares that Singapore has the highest penetration of LinkedIn users anywhere in the world - I personally put this down to residents in Singapore, locals and expats alike being kiasu. However, this fact (penetration of LinkedIn users, not Singapore residents being kiasu) means that the data is also very reliable. Methodology First thing to note, this is a bit of light-hearted fun, I don't pretend to be a statistician, data scientist, or even a half decent Excel user, this is more of a personal interest to see how much the employees of the apparent Best Employers in Singapore actually want to be with their employers. What I have done is taken the top 100 companies that appeared in the The Straits Times list and analysed how many employees there are in Singapore and how many of these employees were Open to Work as at 24 May 2021. In order to get a decent sample size I have only included companies where there are at least 100 employees on LinkedIn in Singapore, so I have removed 13 companies from my results. However, I have also had to remove Starbucks and McDonalds from the analysis due to the overwhelming amount of dormant accounts on the platform which would massively skew the numbers. But like I said, it's not meant to be a scientific analysis. The Winner I am very pleased to announce that DHL is the inaugural winner of Elliott Scott HR's Best Employer in Singapore! What is interesting is that greatplacestowork.com.sg also named DHL as their Best Employer Singapore winner. For their methodology, greatplacestowork.com.sg stated that 85% of "evaluation is based on what employees report about their experiences of trust and reaching their full human potential as part of their organization, no matter who they are or what they do" and from what I can observe, this translates nicely into employees wanting to stay with a company. Notable Mentions When I initially announced last week that I would be analysing the Straits Times list I noted a few companies that I wasn't quite expecting to be there. Firstly, I mentioned the American International School which came 4th in ST's list, although I did note that they appeared at #7 in ST's previous year's rankings. However, in the Elliott Scott rundown the American International School came in 5th, so I genuinely think this reflects that it is a good place to work. Similarly, I noted that Barclays comes in 6th on the ST list for 2021, having not appeared at all on the top 150 in ST's 2020 ranking. But in Elliott Scott's rundown, Barclays comes in 8th, so again proving that there is a correlation between the Straits Times findings and their employees not looking to move. Conversely, the other outlier was Sunray Woodcraft Construction who came in 10th on the Straits Times list but on the Elliott Scott ranking it appears much lower at 68th (out of 85) which is closer to what you would probably assume given it's lack of visibility as a big name MNC. FAANGs So what happened to the Big Tech companies that featured so high on the ST rankings? Interestingly none of them faired as well. Indeed Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Google were all definitely mid to bottom table with Google, the Number 1 company on Straits Times list coming in at #64 on the Elliott Scott ranking. Evidently, it appears that a fair percentage of employees from the FAANGs are actively looking. Does this mean that these companies are not the best employers in Singapore? Not so in my book. So what is going on here? Is it a case of the grass is greener on the other side? Has Covid meant that with work from home the benefits of working in a funky office are not as great? This clearly would need more thorough analysis which I don't have the time or indeed ability to investigate. One comment I personally would make is that perhaps employees see working for a Big Tech FAANGs as a stepping stone to where they ultimately want to go to with their career, judged purely by the amount of former employees of these companies who love to state they are "ex-Facebook, ex-Amazon" etcetera in their strap lines on LinkedIn. So what does it all mean? Which list should you believe? Well, all of them actually. My advice, if you are a job seeker (and remember, I did this analysis through the lens of a recruiter), is to use all information available to you before you make any decision about which company to join. The information is out there at the touch of a keyboard and there is an awful lot of it. I can't stress the importance of doing your due diligence before joining a company, and I would definitely try to speak to someone within the organisation and ask them if many of their colleagues are Open to Work.

HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) - Educating kids in specialized fields but seeing them take what they've learned here to another city is a problem the Grand Strand has faced for years. The problem is specifically evident in technology fields, because big tech and aerospace companies aren't here. The Grand Strand Tech Council is kicking off its first ever Aerospace and Technology Symposium Wednesday at HGTC's Grand Strand Campus. The point is to showcase local tech businesses and attract outside companies to the area. But the broader picture is more important. It's for the kids here who have a knack for aerospace and technology. They'll have more opportunities as future engineers in the Grand Strand when they graduate. The council hopes some of these businesses will like the opportunity here and see promise in the young kids expected to show up today. One local professor is taking a group of his students to the symposium for a robotics competition. He's been training his kids as part of the STEM program at the Academy of the Arts, Sciences and Technology. "So we want to actually provide more jobs here in Horry County for the high tech student. So many students are so well-gifted with technology techniques that they're just born with...I don't know what it is in their DNA these days, but they have knacks for this kind of technology, and we need to have that here in this area for them," said Academy for the Arts, Science and Technology pre-engineering professor Bucky Sellers. Sellers says symposiums like the aerospace and technology event give his students a chance to network and show what they've learned in their specialized classes. One of his students is Dylan Czupik. As a junior in high school, he's building a prosthetic arm. He can do this as part of the STEM program, because it gives him the equipment he needs to excel. Kids like Dylan are starting earlier than ever to fine-tune the skills they want to showcase on college applications, and put them at the top of their class when they start their careers. "Where in a normal high school am I going to have access to drill presses, and lathes and welders and all kinds of stuff like this? It's just a lot better for someone going into an engineering field to go to a STEM school," Czupik says. Kids can choose from many different types of engineering paths. Dylan has shadowed local engineers in his chosen field and competes in team robotics competitions for school. Students like Dylan are exactly who the Grand Strand Tech Council want to benefit from the Aerospace and Technical Symposium that happening Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 950 Crabtree Lane on HGTC's Grand Strand Campus. It's aimed to bring more tech business to the area, so students who've learned their tech skills here at home have more competitive jobs matching their expertise waiting for them after college.

Dani tribe A Captivating Dive into Indonesia's Cultural Mosaic Dani tribe : A Captivating Dive into Indonesia's Cultural Mosaic Nestled in the heartland of Papua, the Dani tribe stands as one of the most iconic ethnic groups of Indonesia, offering a unique slice of indigenous communities in the vast archipelago. This tribe, with its profound cultural diversity, has become a shimmering jewel in Indonesia travel experiences, allowing adventurers to step back in time and witness age-old traditions and rituals. Geographical Canvas The Dani tribe's homeland is the picturesque highlands of Papua, a landscape marked by rolling hills, lush forests, and mist-covered valleys. This geographical masterpiece doesn't just house the tribal cultures of Indonesia but adds a distinct, almost ethereal flavor to the Indonesia travel narrative. The remoteness and the untouched beauty of this region provide a stark contrast to the bustling cities, making it a must-visit for those seeking genuine encounters. Historical Chronicles: The Dani in Time The annals of history are replete with tales of the Dani tribe, tracing their existence back thousands of years. Their ancient roots weave a rich tapestry into the ethnographic diversity in Indonesia. Over time, tales of their warrior spirits, elaborate ceremonies, and unique way of life have added depth and intrigue to Indonesia travel stories, beckoning history enthusiasts and curious travelers alike. Cultural Expedition: The Dani Legacy Venturing into the heart of the Dani community reveals a world where ancestral practices hold sway. Vibrant festivals, solemn ceremonies, and heartwarming rituals provide a deep insight into the unique traditions of Indonesian tribes. The Dani's distinctive hand-woven attire, their tribal warfare reenactments, and their penchant for storytelling enrich the cultural palette of any Indonesia travel itinerary. Nature's Bounty: Dani's Natural Abode The Papua highlands, home to the Dani tribe, are a treasure trove of nature's wonders. Verdant valleys, cascading waterfalls, and expansive meadows provide a backdrop that amplifies the allure of Indonesia travel. This region, with its biodiversity and untouched beauty, showcases the natural side of indigenous heritage in Indonesia, promising every traveler an intimate brush with Mother Nature. Life and Living: A Day in Dani's World Immersing oneself in the daily life of the Dani is akin to stepping into a living museum. Traditional dwellings, known as honai, dot the landscape. Agricultural practices, passed down generations, thrive in harmony with nature. Encounters with the native peoples of Indonesia in such settings, where ancient customs merge seamlessly with daily chores, become the defining moments of cultural Indonesia travel. Gastronomic Wonders: Dani's Culinary Offerings The Dani culinary scene is a testament to the tribe's deep connection with the land. Root vegetables, especially the sweet potato, dominate their diet. Earth ovens, where food is cooked beneath the ground using heated stones, showcase traditional knowledge of Indonesian tribes. Experiencing these authentic flavors offers travelers a delicious and tangible taste of indigenous communities in Indonesia. Navigating Dani Lands: Travel Tips and Etiquette While the allure of the Dani tribe is undeniable, travelers must tread with respect and awareness. The preservation of indigenous art, crafts, and traditions remains paramount. Visitors are encouraged to engage in sustainable practices, ensuring that their Indonesia travel leaves a positive impact. Familiarity with local etiquette, a willingness to learn, and an open heart can transform any journey into a cherished memory. A sojourn into the world of the Dani tribe isn't just a travel expedition; it's a heartfelt journey through time, tradition, and tales. The Dani, with their unwavering spirit and preserved customs, undeniably enrich the multifaceted narrative of Indonesia travel, urging every traveler to look beyond the known and embrace the profound depths of cultural exploration.

Sometimes the results of a first trimester scan may be inconclusive or uncertain, and need to be combined with your clinical history and blood tests serum BhCG. Similar Threads Not all women need to have an ultrasound in this early part of the pregnancy. This ultrasound can determine the number of babies, as well as the type of twins. Transvaginal ultrasound is an internal ultrasound.

Jill Duggar Posts Photo Of Herself In Bed With Disgraced Husband Derick Dillard Actually, Jill is lying by her man, as yesterday, she shared a photo of herself in bed with Dillard and their two little sons. Jill happily captioned the shot, "Saturday morning snuggles," as the couple smiled at the camera. She had her arm around baby Samuel, who is five months old, and Israel, 2, was lying between his mom and dad. Derick got fired from the Duggar family reality show Counting On after his shocking social media attacks on fellow TLC star Jazz Jennings, who is transgender, but it's unclear if the show, the new season of which just debuted on TLC, will include his wife at all. Fans recently thought Jill might be pregnant again—after Derick posted a photo on Instagram of himself and Samuel, with prenatal vitamins in the background! Followers assumed the vitamins could mean Jill was again with child--but there has been no confirmation of that. Jill's sisters Joy-Anna and Jinger and their spouses plus her brother Joe Duggar and his wife Kendra all were expecting babies at the same time—and Joy-Anna recently gave birth! Joy-Anna's shotgun wedding scandal has riled fans, and meanwhile, Jill looks like she's closer to Derick than ever, despite fan uneasiness about how he attacked teen star Jennings.

They create it, I interpret it. And don't you think for a second that I don't know exactly what the hell I'm talking about. Monday, August 3, 2009 The Dance, marker on somewhat thick paper, by S, Minnesota This is absurdist bliss. If we believe Albert Camus, and we should, then we must understand that our very freedom, and therefore the only opportunity we have to give life any real meaning, lies in the total recognition that life itself is absurd. There are no absolutes. There is no master plan. There is no precious subtext. Man must create his own meaning and purpose. And when there are no absolutes -- no powers to please, myths to topple, doctrines to attack – when there is absolutely nothing but the hand, paint, canvas and naked world – that, my good friends, is when the triangles dance. If her work is any reflection of her true self, S has not just rechanneled the crushing despair that can come with such mature absurdist thought, but graduated to a higher plane; one where the absence of reason, logic and purpose trigger a euphoric freedom of soul most could never grasp. We may never get there ourselves, but we can each in our own way, dance with the triangles.

Tear gas rained down on Hong Kong on Monday (August 5) as the city's months' long protests intensified over 24 hours. Using wooden boards and umbrellas as shields, the protesters ran towards the tear gas, trapping the canisters and then dowsing them in water so they could stand their ground. Pockets of activism spread across all main regions starting on Sunday (August 4) night. Then - a general strike during Monday's workday spread tens of thousands of citizens around the territory. In a northern suburb, people of all ages flooded malls and stadiums. (SOUNDBITE) (Cantonese) 36-YEAR-OLD HONG KONG RESIDENT, KIT CHEUNG, SAYING: "My heart breaks when I see so many students come out to protest. If you asked someone like me, who has a family and children, to protest on the front-line I wouldn't dare [BIT OF UPSOT THEN COVER THE REST WITH VISUALS OF the mall] but not working for one day, that's doable. That's why I am here to show my support. I hope Chief Executive Carrie Lam will respond to the citizen's requests." Those requests started with the complete withdrawal of an extradition bill, that could have sent people to trial in mainland China. Now, the movement has grown into a much broader backlash against Hong Kong's government and its political masters in Beijing. During the strike, hundreds of flights were cancelled, roads were occupied and police stations besieged. As night fell, protesters barricaded the outside of this station, before setting it alight. They then dispersed before police had a chance to clear them out. Later in the night a new front opened up. An armed mob brandishing wooden sticks were spotted on Hong Kong's main island. One witness told Reuters at least 13 men began attacking the anti-government protesters, who fought back. The mob then dispersed. By Tuesday (August 6) - an eerie sense of calm in the deeply divided city. Graffiti was removed, and roads re-opened. In Beijing, the Hong Kong Affairs warned not to mistake the mainland's restraint for weakness. And called into question the semi-autonomous territory's education system - saying schools need to teach their children about patriotism, their history and culture more effectively. But in Hong Kong, further calls to protest have already been announced. As the territory's summer of discontent shows no signs of diffusing.

Manchester City midfielder James Milner says winning titles takes time James Milner has insisted Manchester City were never going to be able simply to buy their way to the Barclays Premier League title. Owner Sheik Mansour has reportedly invested more than £400million on players in a bid to make the club champions, money that looked well spent during the first half of the season. But the 1-0 defeat at Arsenal left City's campaign on the brink of unravelling completely, with arch-rivals Manchester United now eight points clear with only six games remaining. United are past masters at winning the title, having done so 12 times in the last 19 seasons, while the neighbours' most recent success was in 1967. Midfielder Milner has claimed City's expensively-assembled squad were always going to need time to learn the art of claiming championships. He said: "We have brought players in and it takes time for them to settle, coming from abroad or from other clubs, and gelling as a team. "We have challenged this season and are still fighting until the end. "As a team, to move forwards, to keep improving, you have to work hard and be together for a number of years. "Hopefully, we will keep improving as a team and moving forwards as a club." He added: "United are obviously a strong side, but we knew that all season. "For the last 20 years, they have got that knack of winning and know how to close out title races. This is the first year we have been up there as a group. "But it is not over yet. We will keep fighting to the end. "Learning is the biggest thing, of being in these positions. "Last season, we won the FA Cup, having that winning mentality to go on and win trophies. "You ask any player and they will tell you that winning the Premier League is so special because you can win other trophies by having off days and get through cup ties, but the Premier League is 38 tough games, home and away."

Dakota's Thomas Kithier gaining attention on recruiting sceneBasketball  | (PHOTO CREDIT - David Donoher) Since the middle of the month of June, one name that has made plenty of noise is Macomb Dakota junior power forward Thomas Kithier. Kithier, who stands at 6-foot-8, picked up offers from the University of Milwaukee and DePaul on June 15th, before landing an offer from Michigan State and Duquesne on June 18th. Then, on July 5th, Kithier picked up his eighth offer of the recruiting process, from Rice. In 2015, Kithier received offers from Oakland and Detroit Mercy, before being offered by Toledo back in February. Throughout his sophomore season, Kithier continued to develop into one of the state's top front court players in the class of 2018 as he helped lead Dakota to the Class A Boys Basketball semifinals this past season, where he tallied 12 points and nine rebounds in a loss to eventual state champion Detroit U-D Jesuit. Going into next season, Dakota should be considered as one of the favorites to return to the Breslin Center as the Cougars not only return their 6-8 power forward, but also return one of the state's top point guards, Jermaine Jackson Jr., along with a handful of other key contributors from last year's team.

There was news with two of the Catholic Bishops for Newark, New Jersey this past weekend. First, Bishop Cruz was celebrating mass at the cathedral on Saturday, when someone got up from their pew, walked to the altar and punched him in the mouth. The suspect was arrested and charged with assault, while the Bishop was hospitalized. On Sunday, Bishop Cruz gave a statement saying he's doing better and hopes to be out soon. No one is sure why the attack happened. The mass in question was in memory of baseball star who died in 1972, but that doesn't seem to be a reason for punching a Bishop. The main Bishop of Newark is Joseph Tobin, who was made a Cardinal in October. As you may know, every Cardinal is given their own church in Rome. This is more of an honorary thing than a managerial thing; Cardinal Tobin doesn't live anywhere close to Rome, so it's kind of hard for him to be involved in the day-to-day running of a parish there. His church is Saint Mary of the Graces, and Cardinal Tobin got to visit it for the first time this past weekend. He said mass there, and he gave a homily about the first reading. The people were impressed to see him wearing a ring he got as a gift from the pastor, in place of a ring that he received from Pope Francis. Newark's third Bishop avoided making headlines this weekend.

That Findikli lokum always confused me...It's like a marshmallow with pistachios. I never much understood its relationship to the other lokums (Turkish delight). Confused, even still.

Today, I had the privilege of presenting my "Hostile Takeover" presentation at SQL Saturday #593 in Birmingham, AL. Very nice location at Samford University. Very Hospitable hosts and great presentations! SQL Saturday My first time, lessons learned! This past weekend, I had the privilege of doing a presentation at SQL Saturday #514 in Houston Texas. I had been to other SQL Saturdays before as both a participant and a "volunteer"; but I had never have spoken before. Speaking in front of people is usually no big deal to me. I have been designing, presenting, hosting and administrating all types of training for the Boy Scouts for many, many years. I have taught Scouting newbies how to tie a knot to presenting on topics like "Project Planning and SMART goals" (email me if you want to know what SMART goals are). I have even coordinated an all day training event very similar to SQL Saturday for my Council called University of Scouting. But what was different about this experience was the topic. I have been active in the Boy Scouts since I was eleven. I know Scouting information, concepts, and topics backwards and forwards. I have been facilitating trainings (presenting) since I was 15. So Scouting is 2nd nature to me. But presenting on SQL Server topics was somewhat nerve wracking. For me it was a test of not my presenting abilities; but my SQL DBA abilities. As an "Accidental DBA" I have always questioned my abilities with SQL Server. Everything I have learned about computers I have learned my self, so I am always 2nd guessing myself. As a "First timer", I thought it would be best to cover Beginning Level topics. My thought was 1) I knew the material and 2) after reading Tim Ford's #EntryLevelChallenge it motivated me to remember my fellow newbies. I won't go into the topic of my presentation today as this is more about the experience. The audience, which I had 14 in attendance, was very attentive and I don't think I put anyone to sleep! I do need to work on my demos. They all worked as expected; but switching between laptop and projector, throwing SSMS on the projector screen, changing screen settings from duplicate to extend was all too much. There has to be a better way to switch between PowerPoint in presentation mode and SSMS to do demo. So I will practice that. I thought I did best on time management. The time allotted was 60 minutes, I said "Thank you for your time" at 59 minutes and 30 seconds. Over all the experience was well worth it. By the responses I received from the speaker evaluations, I think I did an OK job. I had no major criticisms except to slow down, I assure you that was nerves at the beginning. SQL Saturday This Saturday is SQL Saturday #514 in Houston, TX. And this Saturday, I will be doing my first presentation at a SQL Saturday. Luckily my presentation is in the morning so I can get it over with and enjoy the rest of the day. Otherwise, I probably would be stressing about it all day! Hostile Takeover is my presentation on what do you do when handed the keys to a SQL server you have never seen. What information would you want to know and more importantly HOW do you get that information! I will show some easy to use tools and scripts developed by people way smarter than I am. Heck, I will even show you how to hack into a SQL Server! As far as my website goes, I will update my slide deck and scripts repository after SQL Saturday! And hopefully I will find the time to upload the information to the SQL Saturday website! SQL Saturday Baton Rouge #150 On Tuesday, I was notified that my presentation, "Making the CASE for a full-time DBA" got accepted on the schedule for SQL Saturday Baton Rouge #150. WooHoo, my first SQL community event presentation! I am thrilled and nervous at the same time. I have many years experience speaking in front of people, that's a no-brainer for me. However, I have never spoken in front of peers on "work related" topics. My presentation is targeted to those "Accidental DBA's" who find themselves administering and managing SQL Servers. - Developers, Computer Technicians, System Administrators and other IT personnel who were not hired as a DBA, but find themselves doing the job. - individuals who scratch their head, Bing and Google-it to find answers. - individuals with less than 2 years of DBA experience. The "who, what, where and how's" of getting simple information out of SQL server and discovering the "major" problems and no-no's in the SQL world. Hopefully, I can provide some simple ways, steps and information that will make your "Accidental DBA" career easier. Once you can better understand SQL, just maybe you might like the work and want to be a full-time DBA. How do I change career paths, where do I find more information, do I need certifications? I will also briefly discuss how to "pitch a full-time DBA position" to your Manager, Director or VP. There will be some humor, laughing (probably at me) and hopefully some informative information for those non-DBA types, the DBA newbies or DBA "wanna-bies". Thank you again for the SQL Saturday team, I hope I don't disappoint. UPDATE: Because of my work, unfortunately I was unable to participate and had to withdraw from presenting. I was crushed. But there is always next year!!!!

So important, definitely had a tough journey of my own with SIBO but so glad you are educating people along the way." And, "I'm glad you got a diagnosis!

Online casinos have become very popular in recent years. This is in part due to the fact that online casinos offer a wide variety of games that land-based casinos can't match. Online casino games are available in two major formats: "instant" games that are played through a web browser, and download-based software clients. While some casinos offer only one type, most offer both. It is important to note, however, that you will have to download the software client to access online casino games. The main differences between online casino games and land-based casinos lie in their operating procedures. Generally, an online casino requires you to register and fund a betting account. Once you have this set up, you can begin betting and winning money. Once you have won, all you have to do is withdraw your winnings or request withdrawals from your bank account. The gambling site may require additional verification to process a withdrawal. If you prefer a site with a higher level of security and privacy, it might be a better idea to use a site that offers the most secure and safe gambling experience. Many jurisdictions have regulated or legalized internet gambling, ensuring consumer protection and tax revenue. Although the prevalence of internet gambling remains low, participation is rising fast, particularly in regulated sites. In Australia, for example, participation rose from one percent to eight percent between 1999 and 2011. In the UK, a study showed that 16 percent of respondents had played at least one type of online gambling in the previous four weeks. Fortunately, online gambling is not only legal but also beneficial to the mental and physical health of people. Internet gambling has several benefits, including high wagers, continuous gambling, instant feedback, and vast betting options. However, it is important to note that there are no clear indicators of gambling disorder, and no single index will be able to predict this. Therefore, research needs to continue to develop and be developed to determine what factors can influence a person's mental health. The best way to identify online gamblers at risk is to screen for multiple variables, including the type of online gambling they engage in, the type of gambling, and how often they gamble. Legality of online gambling is debated, and differs from state to state. In the United States, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 limits the ability of banks to transact with illegal internet gambling sites, but does not define what constitutes an illegal internet gambling site. It is widely believed that online gambling is illegal, but it is not. There are no federal laws prohibiting online gambling, and the Wire Act does not apply to lottery or poker sites. Currently, only Nevada, Delaware, and Mississippi have legalized sports betting. Other states are currently working on the regulations of online gambling. In the future, other states may follow suit and make it legal. Ultimately, state laws and online gambling regulations will determine whether or not these sites can be legally operated. If they do, then the internet will remain a very popular option for people to enjoy. You can bet on the outcome of the Super Bowl, or place your bets on the outcome of the race.

Ok, so I didn't mean for their to be a mommy errand theme, but I think this could be fun! The Pediatricians Office and now the Grocery Store, how much more excitement could a girl ask for! Here is the adventure play by play! Find a parking spot by the carts for easy Cross access! Dog-gone-it, forgot his diapers and sippy cup, must turn the cart around and go back to the car! Check Went to Sango Walmart even though I live closer to exit 4's cause I was over there having lunch with J, shopped there for years when we lived here before. I put my list in "row" order, but figured I could wing it from memory.............store being remodeled...............enough said! A ZOO before Labor Day! Check Have a plan to go potty and change Cross when we walk in the door, giving myself a pep talk, "just get it done before you get started and it will be easier, don't rush". Bathroom being cleaned, be ready in 10 minutes............... Check (10 minutes is a life time with a kid in the cart, I can hold it, his diaper can hold his) Run into one of my BFF's. The kind you could talk to for hours with lots of yummy coffee, yep, the kind you have already talked to on the phone 2 hours before yet you have to stand obnoxiously in the middle of an isle and catch up on what has progressed in the last 2 hours, now we are really behind, the list is long and Cross is barking loudly up and down the isle..........Check Sweet Jesus, we have to hit it, Cross is melting, focus Kelly, focus on your list! Stop and get Cross chocolate milk (yes I opened the little blessed 50 cent bottle and put it in his sippy cup on site, no shame, this is practical) AND goldfish and we are set! CHECK The total is adding up way too quickly, narrowing it down..........gotta go, been in here way too long, where on earth is anything in this new layout! Check FINALLY make it to the check out lane, a little boy in front of us entertains Cross (a blessing from God), a lady opens up a new lane and comes and gets me and doesn't turn on her light until I am in line (another blessing from God). Only $7 over my budget and considering that I am doing math with an almost 2 year old hurling my pen across the store (another blessing from God, the total part, not the pen)! CHECK Get out to the car........cold stuff in the back seat, other in the trunk, literally about to pee my pants, but have no options now other than to hold it! Milk and yogurt are certain to spoil! Check Get home, unload and put up like a crazy women (after I pee), if I ever sit I won't stand again so take my second wind to knock it all out, oh crap, the dog is frantically looking for a treat, I say to her, "Snick, mommy is so sorry, she totally forgot to get you a treat. She will put it on her list right now so she won't forget next time". If anyone heard me they would for sure know I am crazy! CHECK And finally, finding two goldfish in my back pocket that had hit the floor in Walmart (I do have my germ limits) and offering them to the dog as an ever so exciting treat and she snubs her nose at them.................check! Life rocks, the few things I left out, some dude smiling at me like he was flirting and me thinking to myself, are you kidddddinnnggggggggg me, people all over the store complaining about the new layout and me cracking up at how we do NOT like change that's for darn sure, me pointing out a million things in the store to keep Cross happy, only a few of which he actually knows exist. And after it is all said and done, me putting Cross down for a nap and vegging makes life totally okay! You guys rock! Avoid Sango Walmart for a few weeks if at all possible! Friday, September 4, 2009 Grocery Store.................. Posted by Bullock Family at 2:32 PM 1 comment: - The Feicht Family said... ohhhhhhhhhhh gal, i am so glad to know that it's the same for all of us! i feel like that is a typical day in my life, especially the part about the goldfish in my pocket! thanks for the sanity check!!! :) - September 6, 2009 at 2:36 PM Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom)

Since Hong Kong is highly urbanized and acute public hospitals have been established across the city, most patients with unprovoked seizures not already receiving antiepileptic drug (AED) therapy, particularly convulsive seizures, will be admitted as emergency for assessment. A thorough history is taken from the patient and any witnesses to the seizure. This includes the circumstance of the seizures, detailed symptoms and signs experienced by the patient and witnessed by others before, during, and after the seizure, any potential precipitating factors, history of previous seizures (that the patient might have overlooked), and history of previous brain insults that might have increased the risk of epilepsy later in life, including gestational and birth history, history of childhood febrile seizure, significant head trauma, any family history of epilepsy or seizures, comorbidities, current medications, drug and alcohol abuse, and social history including employment, driving, and living circumstances.

Even after compressing my 13 page training it was 5.7MB, still too large. A simple Gmail account allows you to upload attachments that are up to 25MB, so only allowing for 5MB is very low.

Believe it or not, these bronze figures are in memory of all the animals that had been slaughtered on this spot for food over many years - see the gutter still here to carry away "stuff". Heading to our 10 am guided tour at the far end of the square. Just enough time to snap a quick pose. Aleksander Fredro (20 June 1793 – 15 July 1876) was a Polish poet, playwright and author. The 2-hour tour begins, our umbrella carrying guide is a native and has guided for 10-years. The young woman is Latvian, the young man is Greek, and we had a couple from Malaysia, Australia, and Italy. On the town hall, see below the eaves, the fighting figures, described by the guide as showing to visitors that the town is capable at the fighting arts, but ultimately, in his words, they have lost every battle action. Former town leaders - their faces immortalized in these stone figures. In the basement is the oldest restaurant in Poland - yeah, 1273 AD is pretty old. And, above the door, is a "public service announcement" - if you come in here and over indulge, your wife will greet you at home with her shoe in hand, poised for a good thrashing. The pillory post where people were tied up for minor offenses. The figure at the top of the pillory post, and a demon dog. Wrocław's gnomes are small figurines (most 8-12 inches) that first appeared in the streets of Wrocław in 2005. Since then, their numbers have been continually growing, and today they are considered a tourist attraction. By 2022, there were reportedly over 900 dwarfs in the city. Wroclaw was the place of the second-to-last stand of the Germans in WWII against the advancing Soviets. Much of the city was destroyed, with much restorative work being done after the war over the next decades. The modern looking building to the left is actually older (40+ years) than the 1950's reconstructed buildings next to it. Two smaller buildings that survived the war, knows as "Hansel and Gretel". On the left building above is a relief placed by an artist who lived there until he died about 10 years ago. It's the author from earlier in this blog - something about him being mummified elsewhere, and someone breaking off his finger and bringing it for display in a Wroclaw church. A local academian determined the placement of this meridian (longitude) marker - 17 deg East (it's only off by 2 min, maybe a mile), pretty good for 1797 AD. We see similar things such as this here and there over the years, Gerri loves to discover them. University of Wroclaw, with about 24,000 students. The fencer keeps having his sword stolen, at least 15 times, and now they seem to have given up replacing it. Oder River. The tour is complete, it's raining, time to find a local brewery, and then early dinner. Zloty Pies = Golden Dog, a Browar, or Brewery. There are many Ukrainians in Poland, from both before and after the February invasion (economic and war refugees) - this restaurant welcomes them with menus available online in their own language. Cod salad, and bone-in pork loin, both very tasty.

The Chorus in "Oedipus Rex" serves several important functions in the play. The Chorus is composed of a group of elders from Thebes who observe what is happening and react to it as the audience is most likely to respond. The Chorus acts as the bystander who gets to ask the tough questions as well as the observer who explains things the audience does not know. Because they are elders of the community, the members of the Chorus have been in the town for awhile and have experienced all the hardships. These elders, of course, know background information and other tidbits that they tell the audience. This information is hard to work into the play any other way. They act in some ways like a narrator telling parts of the story between character conversations. As a representative of society, the Chorus asks the questions to which the townspeople — and the audience — want answers. The group acts as the common people, the minor characters in the play, who are affected by all the bad things that are happening, and its members mirror those feelings for the audience to understand. At the same time, their emotions are the same as the emotions expected from the audience members, so the audience relates to the Chorus. Comprised of many, the group speaks and moves as one. Although its members are knowledgeable about a great deal of the plot, they represent humans and so are not perfect in their perceptions.

14-Oct-2017 18:33 As she evaluates her skills and progress, she will compare her performance to other students in the class. She might initially compare her abilities to the other members of the clarinet section, particularly noting those who are better than her as well as those who are worse. For example, if you want to assess your skill as a basketball player, you might start by playing a game with your friends or practice shooting free throws. Once you have a good understanding of what you are capable of, you might then begin comparing your performance to other people that you know. The "half your age plus seven" rule of thumb probably helps you avoid being a creep, but is it accurate? Much to my surprise, when overlaying a line representing the rule of thumb on Kenrick and Keefe's results (see red line in the figure below), you can see it closely matches the low end of the range (i.e., youngest preferred) for all but the oldest men. You might immediately think of a friend who plays on his school's basketball team. In comparison to him, your performance is not nearly as skilled, but you might feel that you can eventually achieve similar skill with a little practice. Some comparisons might make you feel inadequate and less likely to pursue a goal while others give you confidence and help boost your self-esteem. We all compare ourselves to others in our social worlds, whether it is comparing our looks to those of celebrities we see in the media or our talents to those of our co-workers.

Picture this: you are taking a walk with a friend, and a stranger joins your company. You are discussing a difficult situation and the stranger asks if he may join the conversation. He seems acquainted with the facts and astutely offers compelling wisdom and suggests a possible course of action. You both are amazed and say so. Then he systematically breaks down the cues you missed and the opportunities you squandered until you both realize the answer was there all the time. Jesus does this a lot in our lives, as he did for the disciples on the Emmaus Road. Read it for yourself in Luke 24. [Jesus] He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that he prophets have spoken! Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?" And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. (Luke 24:25-27) Jesus you are the bread of life; broken for us that we might have life. Open our eyes to see you at the table, and teach us to know the Scriptures. We long to have our hearts overcome with your word! Amen. Share: Share with a friend a time when you did not see how God was working at the time, but saw it afterwards. Encourage: Encourage someone to look beyond their current situation. God may be working in them, but cannot see it yet. Inventory: Take a moment to reflect how you can continually look for how God is working through you.

Sunday, July 31, 2016 You Are So Sweet--with Ellen Hutson Ellen Hutson is having a call for guest designers for their Pin-sights challenge. So I decided to create a few cards for that. This is the first. We are supposed to use only Essentials by Ellen products, as well as ones that are available at EllenHutson.com. I used the "Mondo Magnolia" stamp & coordinating die (designed by Julie Ebersole); and paired it with the "Simply Said: You" die, along with one of the greetings from the "Simply Said: You" stamp set, both from Avery Elle. I began my card by stamping the magnolia on a piece of 140 lb. watercolor paper with Antique Linen Distress ink. I wanted to do some no-line watercoloring. I did end up with an outline, but I think it works to my advantage in the end, by providing a bit of contrast between the petals. It's very light & soft, though, so I am happy with it! I then used Antique Linen & Tattered Rose Distress inks to watercolor it. When it was mostly dry, I added darker accents to the center with Victorian Velvet Distress ink. Finally, I die cut it with the coordinating die. For my background, I wanted a big contrast with the softness of the flower. So I turned to this technique tutorial to create a "weathered wood" panel. I used Perfect Paper Adhesive on a panel of 140 lb. watercolor paper, just applying it in rough lines and breaking up some of the larger blobs with an embossing stylus. When the glue dried, I scored the panel, and went over it with Antique Linen. I must admit, at this point I thought I'd applied too much glue, since there was a lot of white! But I pushed ahead, and applied Rusty Hinge & Weathered Wood Distress inks, spraying it with water to blend. I dried it with my heat tool, and added some more color and water. I really think it turned out well, & I'm glad I kept going! I adhered Stick It adhesive to the back of a scrap of black cardstock, and adhered black fun foam to that. Then I die cut it with the "Simply Said: You" die. I inked another scrap of watercolor paper with Tattered Rose, and stamped the rest of my greeting in Versafine Onyx Black ink on that. After cutting it into a strip, I assembled my card. I used (a lot of) Scor Tape on the back of my flower, and created a messy nest of black thread behind it, to carry the black I'd used for my greeting to the top of the card. I adhered that to my background, leaving about 1/4" hanging off the right edge. I adhered my greeting, and finally mounted the panel to black cardstock. I adhered that to a white A2 card base. 4 comments: Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom)

By [email protected] (Terrin Waack) During the 2016 Alabama football season, The Crimson White's Terrin Waack will provide select stellar stats, obscure facts and notable quotes from the most recent game to take readers Behind the Process. No. 1 Alabama defeated No. 16 Arkansas, 49-30, at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas, on Saturday. Stellar stats Along with posting 12 quarterback hurries, Alabama's defense recorded six sacks for a loss of 49 yards. Each sack was made by a different player, too. Alabama leads the nation with seven defensive touchdowns (nine non-offensive scores overall). Ohio State is in second with four. Every defensive group (defensive linemen, defensive backs and linebackers) has now scored a touchdown. Tim Williams' 23-yard fumble recovery finally got the linebackers on the board Wide receiver ArDarius Stewart, who missed two games after sustaining a sprained knee against Ole Miss, returned to have a career night. He finished with a single-game best of 120 yards on five receptions. Defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick picked off three of Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen's passes. Fitzpatrick returned one for 100 yards to score, setting a school record for longest interception return. Allen's total of 400 passing yards is the most by an Arkansas quarterback ever against Alabama. Obscure facts Alabama limited Arkansas to just 73 rushing yards, but the Razorbacks were able to total 400 through the air, even with three interceptions. Arkansas is now one of three teams (Ole Miss and Clemson) to eclipse at least 400 offensive yards against Alabama during the last two seasons. Arkansas coach Bret Bielema was furious with the referees after a holding call. He was physically held back near the sideline while flags were thrown at him from every direction for unsportsmanlike conduct. After the game, Bielema said, "I wanted to compliment him; he did a really nice job because he actually went beyond his job and called one of the tackles he shouldn't be looking at. I just wanted to talk." Alabama coach Nick Saban is now third in career wins against AP Top 25 teams at 66, passing legendary former coach Paul W. "Bear" Bryant. Saturday's game, with an attendance of 75,459, marked the largest crowd the Razorbacks' have hosted since Sept. 25, 2010, which was also against the Crimson Tide. Best Nick Saban quote On finding Arkansas' Frank Ragnow, whose father died a week prior, after the game… "Well, it was kind of a personal thing for me. I lost my father the first year after graduate school. He's a fine young man and a fine player. For him to have to go through that, our thoughts and prayers to his family. I just wanted to tell him that and try to encourage him to embrace the good memories and the good times he had with his father. That'll be something he can keep with him forever." Best player quote Running back Damien Harris On him being limited during the previous game with a sprained ankle… "You miss being out there with the team. It's not just about playing. It's not just about going out there and getting carries. You miss being out there with those guys that work so hard and put so much into the team." On quarterback Jalen Hurts… "He's everything you could want in a quarterback." On wide receiver ArDarius Stewart… "Everybody knows he's dangerous when gets the ball in his hands." Game leaders Top 3 rushers 1. Ala: Damien Harris, 13 carries for 122 yards2. Ala: Joshua Jacobs, three carries for 57 yards3. Ala: Bo Scarbrough, seven carries for 56 yards and a touchdown Top 3 receivers (based on receptions) 1. Ark: Jared Cornelius, five receptions for 146 yards2. Ala: ArDarius Stewart, five receptions for 120 yards3. Ark: Drew Morgan, five receptions for 43 yards Top 3 passers 1. Ark: Austin Allen, 25-48-3 for 400 yards and three touchdowns (sacked six times)2. Ala: Jalen Hurts, 13-17-1 for 253 yards and two touchdowns3. None Top 3 defenders (based on total tackles) 1. Ala: Ryan Anderson, nine total tackles (a sack and a quarterback hurry)2. Ala: Shaun Dion Hamilton, nine tackles (a sack and a forced fumble)3. Ala: Ronnie Harrison, eight tackles (a pass breakup and a quarterback hurry) Alabama is 6-0 and plays Tennessee on the road next Saturday at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee.

The cigar lounge is an excellent place for like-minded people to kick back, network as well as gathering with buddies. For those who do participate in, many utilize the chance to discover more about cigars, example various stogies as well as acquire them. There are several sorts of cigar lounges, but also for the most part, the very same regulations use. Of course rules can be drummed down merely by stating reward others the way you would wish to be treated, yet if we left it at that, it would certainly make for a very brief article. Sorts of Lounges There are 4 types of cigar lounges normally discovered in North American as well as Europe with two categories that each of the types fit into. Member Only Lounges These are the lounges that only allow registered members as well as their seeing guests. The lounge may just be a facility that charges a nominal fee to access or maybe a lounge owned by an exclusive participants club or nation club. Either way, these lounges are residence for its participants and visitors ought to pay additional attention to the guidelines in an effort to make sure participants don't become annoyed by their behavior. Public Lounges in East Bend These are bonafide cigar lounges where the objective of being their is to take pleasure in a fine cigar and also mingle with other visitors. This kind of lounge is open to the general public, however will most likely have it's fair share of regulars who view themselves as members or family members of the lounge. If you are new to a public lounge, you must keep in mind to treat yourself as a site visitor or guest until you've established that you're not being deemed an outsider. East Bend Cigar Shops with Lounges They will certainly have a smoking cigarettes lounge that's available for their consumers to utilize, often needing you to prebook room, however usually open for usage anytime. One regional lounge in my area is often visited by the exact same team of individuals every lunch hr as they function in the office structure following door. Establishments with Lounges in North Carolina This sort of lounge isn't exclusively planned as a cigar lounge, yet is normally rather a dining establishment, bar or bar that has actually a marked smoking area for cigars, or sometimes, all kinds of cigarette consisting of cigarettes. Library Lounges 27018 This is quiet, library design bar similar to a piano lounge where consumers concern unwind and also take a break in a tranquil as well as soothing atmosphere. Generally there will certainly be soft songs as well as similar to airport terminal lounges will supply a variety of papers, publications as well as have a fully stocked bar to offer drinks and often food. This is not a party environment. Site visitors need to be mindful that since it's a location to kick back, lots of won't appreciate the firm of others outside their own internal circle. If you do plan to participate in a conversation with someone in this type of setting, it is necessary to be respectful of their time and mindful that they could not be seeking to satisfy a person. Just as you wouldn't come close to a random complete stranger resting at a table in a fine eating restaurant, you shouldn't come close to an unfamiliar person here seeking to speak– unless certainly you recognize them or they show up available to connecting. East Bend Sports Lounges This is an incredibly popular design of cigar lounge as well as acts more as a bar or social club than the collection lounge does. Commonly they will show sporting occasions on big television screens, they are seldom peaceful as well as are normally frequented by a younger customers searching for a good time with other guys and ladies who appreciate cigars. Often they'll feature classic bar design food selections and also live songs or dance. You won't locate me in among these lounges, however they are very popular. These are the males and also ladies that pay a fee to belong to a private members club as well as its lounge. They're normally very protective of the lounge and take a little longer to open to novices unless you're there as a guest of a well respected participant. It is very important when communicating with participants in their own lounge that you value them, the policies of the club and also any outfit code that could hold. Forgive me, yet these are typically a couple of sorts of individuals. Either they're really welcome as well as kind yet invest a lot of time at a certain lounge and know the team and also other regulars that they invest a good deal of time interacting with; or they're the kind of individuals who will remind you of secondary school inner circles. They stick, do not welcome newbies or site visitors with open arms as well as are commonly hostile in the direction of those outside their internal circle. Generally they seem like they have much more civil liberties to be in the lounge than you do and also typically aren't scared to openly specify that. This isn't really a lot the case at library style lounges but can be extremely famous in the more active social lounges and also the cigar shop lounge areas. So long as you treat them with respect, tip the staff well and comply with the regulations, you shouldn't have any type of trouble. Of course, it never injures to buy a round of beverages or stogies for them.

After one of the show's must gut-wrenching episodes that saw the apparent death of Shaw (Sarah Shahi), Person of Interest continues to deliver the unexpected with "Control-Alt-Delete." Rather than offer us an episode from the grieving Reese (Jim Caviezel), Finch (Michael Emerson), Root (Amy Acker), and Fusco (Kevin Chapman) dealing with the loss, the latest episode is entirely from Control's (Camryn Manheim) point-of-view giving us a look into the the Government's use of, and frustration with, the intelligence provided by Samaritan. With only sketchy reports of a masked man and woman taking down Samaritan agents, the episode focuses on Control's faith in her system which begins to waver when Samaritan refuses to share information it deems irrelevant to the current terrorist threat. We don't even see our heroes until halfway through the episode when they confront Control further planting a seed of doubt in her mind about the Decima Technologies' Machine. Disbelieving their statements, the episode still ends with her discovering the truth of their words possibly giving the remaining members of Finch's army an ally on the inside. Even with limited screentime "Control-Alt-Delete" gives us Finch, Reese, and especially Root all grieving in their own way for their recent loss. The attack on Control serves dual purposes of alerting her to the real machinations of Samaritan and finding Samaritan's own spy on her detail which the group uses to get a lead on Shaw who may, or may not, still be alive. With the smallest sliver of hope (and knowing Shahi is taking at the very least an extended absence from the show for her pregnancy) what will they find?

A New Development for Aging Public Housing in Hartford By Jeff Cohen • Jul 15, 2013 Jeff Cohen / WNPR It's been more than a half century since the state built two big public housing developments in Hartford -- nestled in neighborhoods that now include middle-class housing, the University of Hartford, and expensive single family homes.

Zaleski documents the development of exurbia and the rise of visionary structures: residences for commuters and weekenders, public housing, houses of worship, universities, shopping centers, and office complexes, and she is our guest. Connecticut's Complicated Housing Market By John Dankosky • Jun 11, 2013 claudiasimsphotography June is Homeownership Month and part of peak real estate season. The housing market across the nation is finally showing signs of improvement with signs up across the nation. But it is not the market it was before the 2008 crash. Some real estate experts say the market hit bottom at 2011 and has been slowly climbing back. This means jobs in construction and other parts of the housing sector.

First 'Passive House' Built In Harwinton By Ray Hardman • Apr 1, 2013 UI/Energize Connecticut Development in Downtown Hartford By John Dankosky • Jan 18, 2013 Global Jet, Creative Commons Driving through downtown Hartford, you'll see a lot of empty storefronts, plenty of parking garages, and some impressive high rises.

In fact, several of those old office buildings are being retrofitted for new housing. So people are voting for downtown housing with their dollars, but is there enough retail to keep feet on the street? Formerly Homeless, An Army Vet Prepares for Christmas By Lucy Nalpathanchil • Dec 20, 2012 Photo by Lucy Nalpathanchil It's been five months since 16 homeless veterans moved into permanent supportive housing thanks to the American Legion Post in southeastern Connecticut.

In fact, administration officials says that President Obama has the "desire to see a fully integrated society." The Great American Foreclosure By John Dankosky • Apr 13, 2012 JeffreyTurner, Creative Commons The housing crisis that has cost millions of Americans their homes. In fact, banks have foreclosed on more than 4 million homes since the crisis began in 2007. Almost 6 million are still in danger of foreclosure, and some analysts say 2012 could be the worst year yet. HUD Grants Come to Connecticut to Help Homeless Veterans By Lucy Nalpathanchil • Apr 9, 2012 Courtesy of South Park Inn This month, the federal government awarded the state $1.46 million dollars from the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development and the VA. The grants are known as HUD VASH and they're used to help veterans avoid homelessness. The housing voucher program has existed for four years. Since then more than 400 vouchers were allocated to housing authorities across the state to help chronically homeless veterans, including women veterans with children. New Residential Plans for Old Office Building By Jeff Cohen • Apr 3, 2012 A vacant 26-story office tower in downtown Hartford may get a new life. A Fairfield developer has plans before the city to turn the old Bank of America building into nearly 300 apartments. The project is in the early stages, and the city says there's no public or private financing committed to it yet. But it's worth noting the ambition -- the building at 777 Main Street has nothing happening inside of it, and developer Bruce Becker has an idea: He wants to build 286 apartments and a bunch of retail space near Hartford's State House Square. Slate's Matthew Yglesias On Why 'The Rent Is Too Damn High' By Mark Oppenheimer • Mar 28, 2012 Flickr Creative Commons, stevendamron Let's say you're married. You have a dog.

Low-Income Renters Struggle to Find Housing By Neena Satija • Feb 24, 2012 Home values continue to fall, and yet housing is becoming increasingly difficult to afford. As WNPR's Neena Satija reports, a new study from the Center for Housing Policy shows the situation is particularly dire in Connecticut. In 2010, nearly a quarter of all working households suffered from what's called a "severe housing cost burden." That means more than 50 percent of households' income goes toward housing. The problem is worst for people who are renting. Megan Bolton is a senior research analyst at the National Low-Income Housing Coalition. Connecting Housing Policy with Education Policy By Neena Satija • Feb 20, 2012 As Governor Dannel Malloy prepares for a legislative session focused on education, many say the General Assembly needs to address other inequities, such as housing, in order to truly close the achievement gap.

Grand Wagoneer by Classic Gentleman Frame Off mechanical and cosmetic restoration with estimated completion date of second quarter 2023… Reserve Now as our available and in production restoration pieces continue to be complete sellouts year in and year out… Thank you to our loyal clients and patrons! …And there is still time to select your choice of exterior colors.(Hunter Green, Spinnaker Blue, Sebring Red, White, Grey, Baltic Blue and more…) Grand Wagoneer by Classic Gentleman, internationally recognized as a leading buyer, restorer and seller of low mile, excellent condition Grand Wagoneers, presents this low 108,xxx original mile 1987 Grand Wagoneer. .Until our purchase, her entire registered life was deep in the state of Texas She has never seen any winter road salt ever, not even any snow ever, (But snow doesn't hurt a Grand anyway. it is the corrosive road salt). Since she hasn't been exposed to road salt, her frame and undercarriage are solid and making her worthy of the investment required in a Classic Gentleman restoration. There is nothing more important for a 35 year old Grand Wagoneer than it comes from the right areas of the country that have kept their frames and undercarriages out of the winter road salt. Frankly for us, it is the difference between a restoration candidate or a parts car. She will be fitted with a newly re-manufactured original stock spec V8 engine, upgraded with modern fuel injection, along with the regular host of Classic Gentleman upgrades. Carfax confirms the lifetime Texas registration, no accidents reported and the low 108,xxx miles as original and true. (That works out to just a little more than 3,000 miles per year….). We have scheduled this '87 to be finished in the popular and seen next to never gorgeous Spinnaker Blue Metallic paint finish but there is still time for the next owner to pick whatever color they would like. Have a look at the restoration page on our website to see how considerable our full color conversion process is. Here is just one specific, we even paint the metal floors under the new floor carpeting the new color. Exterior cosmetic restoration works: Full professional color conversion repaint in Spinnaker Blue Metallic New Wood Trim New Wood Siding New Windshield New rubber door seals & window wipes 5 New white wall tires wrapping professionally refinished wheels The remaining exterior chrome and aluminum bits, such as the front grille, bumpers, center wheel caps, door handles, luggage rack and so on, whilst not new, as they are no longer manufactured new, only exhibit low mile desert usage and as such, still present nicely. Interior cosmetic restoration works: Seats reupholstered by our Amish craftsmen with all new leather & new fabric inserts and new carpeting on the back of the seats New carpeting on the floors, inner tailgate, cargo sides with new cargo boards, lower door panels & custom matched floor mats New Headliner Dashboard & steering wheel recoat Electrical/mechanical works: Professionally re-manufactured original factory spec correct 360ci V8 motor installed, including: Installed precision milled cylinder heads Installed Valve train: new valves (stainless exhaust & plated intake valves), new valve seals, new valve seating Leak tested Heads & Block New Main Bearings New Oil Pump New Pistons New Rod Bearings New Seals & Gaskets New Timing Chain Break-In Oil Included New Hydraulic Flat Tappet Lifters New motor mounts Front & rear main seals replaced Modern fuel injection includes: Throttle body with mounting plate Electric fuel pump Inline fuel filter with hoses Inline fuel pump New engine harness with OBDII date connector New oxygen sensor Electronic ignition module Electronic speed sensor to replace speedo cable 8MM high performance ignition wire set Premium distributor cap & rotor New spark plugs Accel chrome ignition coil New vacuum hoses Transmission & 4 wheel drive systems Valve body from automatic transmission removed, resealed shifter shafts & installed new filter & fluid Replaced gear lube of front & rear differentials for 4 wheel drive High & Low New transmission mounts Air conditioning & coolant systems Air conditioning system pressurized & Freon recharged Updated to R134 Coolant system service includes new water pump, thermostat, heater hoses, upper & lower radiator hoses & bypass hose, fresh antifreeze.

Key electrical components & parts replaced New AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth connectivity Battery w/ new cables Fuel sending unit Oil pressure switch Ignition switch Inner fender ignition module Neutral safety switch Upgraded headlamps to Hella 9003 halogen bulbs Why buy from a Grand Wagoneer specialist? Our entire focus is on Grand Wagoneers and we know these unique vehicles inside and out. When you purchase a Classic Gentleman Wagoneer it has been thoroughly inspected and works completed by professional mechanics, some with over forty years of Wagoneer experience. We purchase fine example Jeeps from a variety of sources including other dealers and private parties. We are often told by the seller, "My Jeep is excellent and needs nothing" however, being in this profession, we know to expect and plan for a great deal of sorting. Remember the average age of these vehicles is over thirty years old and even with loving care many the cosmetics and mechanical parts have aged and worn accordingly. When a Classic Gentleman Grand Wagoneer arrives at your home, it is a special occasion and the Grand will be in beautiful condition. Yes, our sales are as-is, but as you will see from our detailed document files that your Grand has been looked after carefully. Our goal is to see that the joy and enthusiasm of Grand Wagoneer ownership begins immediately with your purchase and that it will be there for years to come. Still, and here is the most honest paragraph you have perhaps ever seen from a restoration house/dealer, in some ways these Jeeps were terrible even when they were new. Therefore, please understand you will do more maintenance and servicing of a vintage Grand Wagoneer than a modern piece, even one we have restored. That is just a truth, fellow enthusiast. If you don't have the un-excitability and tolerance for that, then let us say to you candidly, don't buy one. But let us also remind you that it is indeed that old school style and looks of a Grand Wagoneer that have made them so ever popular today. Be sure to have a look at our website's recommendation page where you can see first hand the positive experiences of a worldwide assortment of named buyers. We deal honestly and work hard to insure a happy buyer. You will never be chased for a sale but given all the time needed to insure if a purchase is right for you. Guided by these principals, our modestly sized niche dealership has built a loyal and devoted customer base spanning 5 continents. You are welcome to ring 724-996-1288 for a cordial discussion regarding this example or any other in our current or soon to be on offer extensive inventory.

The old Zombies TC add on for EDGE was what got me into modding in the first place - so this warms my jellies 🥰 New mobile ports (iOS, Andriod) Coraline replied to BlackFish's topic in Source PortsIt appears to be a continuation of the previous port which is even stranger... EDGE 2.1.0 Discussion [RC-1.5 Released on 10.17.2018] Coraline replied to Coraline's topic in Source PortsRC2 was originally slated to be released but it had some bugs. Figured I would refrain from release until they were further worked out. So we are just skipping RC2 and moving to RC3, which will be released after some end-user testing. Versioning is still a mess but once we merge the base_ddf branch we will officially mark that release as RC3. (Still getting used to git, but at least it is much easier than svn). I pushed current devbuilds to DRDTeam that I would request be play tested; made some changes to the external script location (instead of XXX_ddf folders in root, they are all contained in /base) to keep the root directory simpler. Does not affect internal scripts in archives which are still expected to be found in the /scripts namespace). Other things have been fixed too since the last November builds - please if anyone has time, test them out and report any bugs. I will try to push Linux versions there too. Framerate should be smoother in these builds and I finally fixed the ghosting square in the lower left corner of the screen bug, as well as the solid black screen, upon resolution change. Also got SDL2 mouse-grabbing functional again (now, it is using relative mouse mode). Made some more improvements to the SDL window management. Full screen is still broken (framerate tanks terribly), so I recommend using windowed modes - in EDGE they are border less. Also some COAL additions for player<->camera tuning. Still working on demos, and still working on Wolf3D/ROTT support. Recently took a look at networking code and thinking about implementing a model closely tied to Doom64EX's netcode, but splitscreen needs to be fixed first. Controls still need some tuning IMO, plus they aren't working again for Split screen. Anyone with some decent SDL2 experience would be highly welcome, because EDGE's hand-rolled code for joystick/etc management needs a desperate rethinking. If you guys' can test out those Windows builds that'd be great! If you have AMD/Radeon video cards and getting bad framerates (like I do on my RX580), check out this article on the EDGEWiki for AMD Settings adjustment to fix the problems. AFAIK nVidia users are covered and won't need to tweak anything ;) EDGE 2.1.0 Discussion [RC-1.5 Released on 10.17.2018] Coraline replied to Coraline's topic in Source Ports@wesleyjohnson from @Chilly Willy: I do the same thing for Xubuntu, so I would need a bit more info on how you have your setup configured. Also I'm updating the Git shortly with the ROTT fixes. I've learned some interesting information though, which I'll share on your wall in a bit. Still not completed, but it is being attended to, we promise. Gah, great catch! I forget how fun Bots are (used to do Botmatch in my old Blood/Hypertension TC). I will patch it so it only affects the player(s) being displayed currently. I'll probably fix it in a devbuild. @VGA I added your resolution to the possible modes list for SDL2. That'll also be in a devbuild due to be uploaded shortly. You know, something I just thought of... Is there a function within EPI endianess routines to convert from an Integer to unsigned short? I just realized...if I did that i could technically avoid having ROTT patches in their own struct entirely. . .keep the code tidier by just having everything in the base patch_t structure and that could potentially make it easier to handle those patches. Also, does EDGE explicitly require a pnames and/or TEXTURE1/2 for textures and patch displays? Since ROTT just displays patches directly, i wonder if even a lone dummy value would work..its either that or i would need to meticulously hand-roll one... I want to say EDGE has that capability but I could be wrong. . Sometimes a struct like patch_t is used to represent the exact (bit-for-bit) structure of the binary data in a lump or file. So you cannot change, for example, a short to an int in that structure because the sizes are different (16 vs 32) and it won't read the binary data in the lump properly anymore. Other structs are used in memory, and it is less important if a field is a short or an int. EDGE code does not make the distinction between these two usages very clear. In Eureka and AJBSP, the file w_rawdef.h contains the structs for on-disk binary data, and they are only used to read/write the binary lumps, other structs are used for in-memory version (of a linedef, sector, etc). For example, raw_linedef_t is a struct for the raw (on-disk) representation of a DOOM linedef, and raw_hexen_linedef_t is the variant use in the Hexen map format. These are converted to a single in-memory struct "linedef_t" by code which reads the LINEDEFS lump in maps. This linedef_t has enough fields for both the DOOM version and the HEXEN version. The types of fields can be "wider" too, e.g. the "flags" field in linedef_t is an "int" (32 bits) whereas the on-disk structure uses a 16-bit value (a "short"). The EPI endianness conversion functions need to be a specific size, like 16 bits, since they need to work on the raw representation of binary data. If you are reading the value into a different struct, you can have a wider type (like an "int"), but you don't need any extra endianness functions, in C and C++ integers of different widths are automatically converted. (will answer the other question later) EDGE 2.1.0 Discussion [RC-1.5 Released on 10.17.2018] Coraline replied to Coraline's topic in Source PortsThe translevel/hdr_size stuff is safe to be completely removed, I am intentionally leaving out the translevel stuff and using the single struct to handle all cases of it; we do this in the column drawing code anyway. In r_image, I restored the rpat->origsize buffer and got rid of that custom rolled one so it's read like the other EPI_LE_S16(pat->[]) values. EDGE 2.1.0 Discussion [RC-1.5 Released on 10.17.2018] Coraline replied to Coraline's topic in Source PortsWe did at one point. But it got sidetracked as bigger features that were in higher demand were done first (OpenAL is a big one, finishing up polyobjects, UDMF, COAL stuff, ROTT). Maybe we will revisit it sometime, maybe not, but the important thing there is that we get all of those issues done first. We know that UDMF is in demand for better map support, things like OpenAL are necessary to replace horrid SDL2 audio and all the features that have been long requested, etc. Split screen though needs to be addressed first however, the input reworking is sort of a big deal right now as major parts will need to be added onto for configurable controls across both players. Which, once splitscreen is done, will pave the way for at the very least LAN play across a network. Haven't looked into it heavily as it was def in a state of flux, having been reworked a handful of times across development of the engine. EDGE 2.1.0 Discussion [RC-1.5 Released on 10.17.2018] Coraline replied to Coraline's topic in Source PortsThat's precisely why I haven't had the team take on that solution - all of the engines I've seen that moved to such a model did it very early in their development cycles. It would be too daunting for the team to rework EDGE for such a thing when there's more practical work that needs attention. If we had someone skilled in such a task and had a coordinated way of going about it - fine, but we aren't in that position to allocate resources in a huge way. It is an issue we will eventually address (as its even listed in our Git issues, so we talk about it from time to time), but will probably end up going with something like the first suggestion if/when we get around to it. EDGE 2.1.0 Discussion [RC-1.5 Released on 10.17.2018] Coraline replied to Coraline's topic in Source PortsThank you Fanatic! Very honored to hear this from you! PS: QDoom 1.01 works great ;) Also, we have just released EDGE-2.1.0-RC1.5 via SourceForge. This is a very small bugfix that makes screenshots work in both JPEG/PNG formats again. It also contains slight additions for ROTT support and a few QDOOM 1.01 fixups ;-) EDGE 2.1.0 Discussion [RC-1.5 Released on 10.17.2018] Coraline replied to Coraline's topic in Source PortsFound an additional serious bug: PNG screenshots are broken (due to our new image backend code) - we are working on a fix. Sorry for the inconvenience! FIXED IN RC1.5! About ROTT textures: I don't know what they are .. BUT. You mentioned how to change the drawing routines to handle such a thing. I advise against that. DoomLegacy has the R_GenerateTexture function in r_data.c, that gets every texture in the wad, and converts it to some format that our drawers can handle. I suggest you use something similar. It gives you the chance to fix other texture problems at the load stage, and keep your drawers simple and running at full speed. It currently handles some strange wad patches that took advantage of the vanilla doom drawer, but disrupted our new drawers. Some wad textures used a patch that was smaller than the texture, which caused segfaults. These are fixed by R_GenerateTexture. Some patches reused patch columns, as an effort to hand compress the patches. That required special handling. Multi-patch textures are converted to a single-patch texture, or a picture format. Those draw much faster. You could use a similar scheme to intercept these ROTT textures and convert them to one of the formats you can draw. The code would take the row-oriented pixels and scatter them to the columns of a patch format. That would require preallocating the columns according to how many rows there were, and then filling in the data. If the number of rows exceeds the maximum post length, then must have extra column depth allocated to have multiple posts (extra post headers). If there are holes in the patches, then there will be extra posts, extra post headers, and then the columns will have to be packed in a final step. That assumes that you prefer patch format for your textures. If you can draw picture format, then that is easier to generate. Just preallocate a buffer to the picture size needed, and draw the ROTT texture into the picture buffer. If there are holes in the ROTT texture, then you need a transparent pixel code. Any ROTT pixel that hits that transparent code gets changed to some other color. The R_GenerateTexture function handles the patch format, and has better documentation in that function than I could explain here. You could probably borrow from it. - Show previous comments 8 more Each one of the those melt-lines is coming from the end of a ROTT texture draw. I suspect it is drawing one column too many. I can tell by the colors that the melt-line data is not from the texture. The FOR loop end test is off by one. The doom drawer and the ROTT drawer are using entirely different loop limits, and I cannot tell why. @wesleyjohnson Pushed the new code to Github, which you can see the column code for ROTT was nearly fixed with your previous suggestions: Not sure what you mean by the FOR loop end test is off by one - by an addition or a subtraction? There was something else I was wondering about. In the rottpatch_t struct, the columnofs value is strange [320] - EDGE translates this in its patch code to [1], where this was originally [8] in DOOM. But, still unsure where or why that value is what it is in columnofs. Keep in mind in Rise of the Triad, columnofs was originally called collumnofs: //normal DOOM patch typedef struct patch_s { // bounding box size short width; short height; // pixels to the left of origin short leftoffset; // pixels below the origin short topoffset; int columnofs[1]; // only [width] used } patch_t; //ROTT Patch, notice columnofs is at [320] in ROTT - not sure why that value is even set. typedef struct rottpatch_s { short origsize; // the orig size of "grabbed" gfx short width; // bounding box size short height; short leftoffset; // pixels to the left of origin short topoffset; // pixels above the origin unsigned short columnofs[320]; // only [width] used, the [0] is &collumnofs[width]. CA - Renamed from collumnofs to columnofs! } rottpatch_t; In that usage it does not matter. That structure is never allocated statically, so the allocation size is never determined from the array size or the struct size. There are some conventions that can be followed, and those may make a difference to the compiler, sometimes. The [320] is a practical limit as the patch width could hardly be more than 320, as that was the width of the screen. In DoomLegacy we declare it as columnofs[8], but the pic_t data array is declared as data[0]. It does not matter. Some more modern languages have a way to declare a dynamically sized array, but C doesn't. The compiler and reader are expected to understand that the array size is ignored on a dynamically sized array. The array size is limited by how much memory got allocated for the struct, and the programmer is responsible for not accessing the array beyond the allocated memory. About the ROTT column draw. Notice in the last screenshot the black column at the end of the "Main Menu". Notice how it is a different color than the "Main Menu" text. Notice how it starts at the top of the patch, just like another patch column. This is due to drawing one too many columns for "Main Menu". It looked up a columnof[16] got an offset, and drew the data at that column. Because the compiler does not know that the patch only had columns 0..15, it does not know that the columnofs[16] is off the end of the array, and the column data is bogus. That is why it is drawing white and black, and not the colors of the rest of the text. It also gets a bogus post header with a bogus count, which is why the column goes completely down the screen. The problem is that it is drawing one too many columns for the patch. Possibilities, one of the following is likely: 1. It got the width wrong for the patch 2. The patch format requires drawing one less than the patch width, for some reason. 3. The FOR loop that iterates the width has a messed up test (off by one, otherwise known as the fence post error). 4. The ROTT drawer is using the wrong variable to count the number of columns. The number of columns is not always the width of the texture (sometimes the patch is shorter than the texture). 5. The offset to the table is off by one column width, effectively making it start it address columnofs[1] when it is trying to address columnofs[0]. Thus the count against the width would be correct, but it would draw the last column using data past the end of the array. I would need to look at the "Main Menu" patch, and the texture width, and the number of columns drawn. But you can do this faster, just by putting some print stmts in the ROTT column drawer. Print the ROTT patch header, and the column index of each column that gets drawn. Enable this just when the "Main Menu" texture is drawn. You don't want it for everything, as we want one non-confusing output. If you can print it once and only once, that will be fine. If you can print it to a file, then even better. That will tell us what is going wrong. EDGE 2.1.0 Discussion [RC-1.5 Released on 10.17.2018] Coraline replied to Coraline's topic in Source PortsThe resolution changes depending on what your screemode is (window or full). You can also explicitly set EDGE to start up with the resolution of your choice. I'll add that into our possible screenmodes enum just in case though! @VGA From the Readme: Try running EDGE with those command-line parameters and let me know if it works out. EDGE 2.1.0 Discussion [RC-1.5 Released on 10.17.2018] Coraline replied to Coraline's topic in Source Ports@wesleyjohnsonI was waiting until we released RC1 (today) before I switched us back to the Git versioning system. That way RC1 will be uniquely identified in this point of history without tags or commits. I'll check out your PM later today. Without further ado: EDGE 2.1.0-RC-1 has been released via SourceForge! Binaries for Linux are coming later as I didn't have time to compile and upload before work! https://sourceforge.net/projects/edge2/files/3DGE binaries/2.1/2.1.0/RC-1/ There is a huge list of changes between 2.1.0-Test3/2.0.4 and 2.1.0-RC1, so make sure to check out the CHANGELOG. Downloads are available currently for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows platforms. This release candidate is one of many that we are putting out before 2.1.0 Final, in the hopes that we can catch bugs and serious issues before the final launch. Attached is a listing of the currently known bugs in the engine - before you ask for help, please look here first.

Things went well for a while and we were London's most fashionable couple. It was only some time later that I found out just how friendly they would become . As one nosey parker said at the time: 'We saw Kimberly Stewart snogging the face off Jude Law. When we got married a year after that, I thought life couldn't get any sweeter . But as my career took off, Sadie began to feel left behind. They were really going at it and barely came up for air.' Well, she was fronting the Specsavers Sepctacle Wearer of the Year awards - and you can't say much sexier than that.11. Viewers initially talk to one of a team of trained phone-answerers. If their call is not suitable for the phone-in, they are given details of relevant helplines and organisations. In both ways the book has helped me with relating better to my friends and family... Finally this is an invalueable source for you to find further help, either on the internet, by phone, or even writing to Terra herself. I hope the books a huge success, then perhaps we'll have more of Annie's insightful advice soon ?This book is full of useful information for teens, and presented in a manner that appeals to teens.The illustrations are helpful and specific to different situations common for teens.I do my best to give useful replies on air, but I often call the viewers back afterwards to offer more guidance, and This Morning's support team are on hand to follow-up cases until we are confident things are improving.I hardly move anywhere at any time without hundreds of readers' problems, emails and Facebook messages printed out, which I read through and work on at every available moment. I'm on holiday next week, but will be taking a few hundred in my suitcase. Back in the crazy Nineties, I was just 19 when I met sexy Sadie Frost, and knew she was The One. Unfortunately, she decided to tell the world all about it, and as you can imagine, Sienna wasn't very thrilled. Schnell, schnell, look out, here's gorgeous Susan Hoecke, an underwear model who was Miss Germany, and who was my beauty queen in August of that year. What do you mean, all these models are a bit obvious? Sometimes, clothes were the last thing on our minds.16. I know I always say this, but I can't see anything that's going to stop us being together .Tags: Adult Dating, affair dating, sex dating

When it comes to understanding winter weather and its impact on our lives, snowfall measurements play a crucial role. The accurate assessment of snowfall not only aids in predicting weather patterns but also helps in various sectors like transportation, agriculture, and emergency management. In this article, we will explore the two primary techniques used to measure snowfall: snow gauges and snowfall estimates. Understanding the differences and advantages of each method is essential for accurately tracking and forecasting snowfall events. The Importance of Snowfall Measurement Advantages of Snow Gauges and Snow Estimates Snow Gauges Despite the emergence of advanced technologies, snow gauges continue to hold their ground as the most reliable method for snowfall measurement. Their direct physical measurement ensures high accuracy, making them particularly useful for critical applications such as transportation safety and flood forecasting. Additionally, well-maintained snow gauges can provide continuous and real-time data, making them indispensable for localized monitoring of snowfall events. Snowfall Estimates On the other hand, snowfall estimates offer significant advantages when it comes to tracking snowfall over vast regions. Radar-based and satellite-based estimates cover larger areas, enabling meteorologists to observe and predict snowfall across entire states or even countries. This broader perspective is especially valuable for understanding regional weather patterns, assessing the impact of snowstorms on large populations, and informing emergency response measures. Snow Gauges: The Traditional Approach Snowfall Estimates: The Technological Advancement Accuracy Comparison: Snow Gauges vs. Snowfall Estimates The accuracy of snow gauges and snowfall estimates has long been a subject of debate among meteorologists. Snow gauges, when properly installed and regularly maintained, are considered the standard for accuracy. They directly measure the snow's depth and provide reliable data for specific locations. However, their efficiency can be hindered in regions with high winds or during heavy snowfall events, which may lead to snow drifting and uneven accumulation. On the other hand, snowfall estimates, while convenient and applicable over larger areas, may have limitations in accuracy due to various factors. The accuracy of radar-based estimates can be influenced by the type of snowflakes, radar beam blockage, and attenuation. Similarly, satellite-based estimates can be impacted by cloud cover, ground temperature, and snowpack density. Overall, both methods have their strengths and weaknesses, and the choice of measurement technique often depends on the specific needs and available resources. Improving Snowfall Measurement Techniques Given the importance of snowfall data and the limitations of current measurement techniques, ongoing research and innovation are focused on improving the accuracy and reliability of snowfall measurements. One promising area of development involves the use of ground-based remote sensing technologies. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) systems, for example, can provide detailed and precise information about snow depth and density without direct physical contact. This technology has the potential to enhance snowfall measurements in challenging terrains and extreme weather conditions. Additionally, advancements in weather modeling and data assimilation techniques can help improve the accuracy of snowfall estimates. By combining data from multiple sources, including snow gauges, radar, and satellite observations, meteorologists can create more comprehensive and reliable snowfall estimates.

How Do Casino Owners Make Money?Esther Holmes November 9, 2022 0 COMMENTS The question is, how do casino owners make money? Statistically, the average casino makes almost $1.9 million per day. That figure is based on an analysis of revenues at 169 major casinos during fiscal year 2019. Casino owners are some of the richest people in the world, and their influence is immense in the casino industry. The average casino dealer earns about $25,000 a year, but the actual salary will depend on the size of the casino and the number of players. In general, casinos make money by taking a percentage of the money gamblers put in. They typically pay out 97 percent of what players put in. However, they lose more money than they earn, and in the United States, the average casino losses around $3.5 million a day. Another way that casino owners make money is by offering attractive sign-up bonuses to new players. These bonuses are easy to understand and are not tied to any specific betting strategy. In simple terms, casinos earn money by paying out winnings at odds below break-even. This means that when someone wagers $100 on the roulette table, they will win $50, but they will lose $100 on average. If they use a strategy, they are more likely to win. While owning a casino does not make the average person wealthy, the average casino owner makes over $2 million a year. The CEO of a casino earns more than the average person, and the average Vegas casino owner makes at least $500,000 per year. But even though the average owner makes that much money, it's unlikely to be enough to cover all the expenses of operating a casino.

Intelligent, unique MMA analysis Once upon a time… many moons ago… George Sotiropoulos was a title contender in the UFC lightweight division. He won his first seven fights in the UFC, four by submission and one by TKO. I remember suggesting that the UFC have Sotiropoulos fight Jim Miller in a top contender match. It seems like just yesterday… Going on a three-fight losing streak has changed things. Sotiropoulos was shut down by Dennis Siver, then knocked out by Rafael Dos Anjos, and most recently was knocked out by Ross Pearson. Sotiropoulos has been exposed to have a bad chin and weak takedown offense. He has genuine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills but lacks the well-rounded arsenal needed to win at a high level. Here's the good news: Sotiropoulos will be taking on K.J. Noons at UFC 166. Noons has decent offensive striking but he gets tagged a lot himself. He has been taken down 24 times despite facing a lot of strikers. He has landed just four knockdowns in 594 significant strikes. Noons is a great opponent for Sotiropoulos because he's not good at countering what Sotiropoulos should want to do. Sotiropoulos should be aggressive in going for takedowns and as much as he's struggled to land them against opponents like Pearson, he's still landed 2.53 takedowns per 15 minutes at 34 percent accuracy. That's not great but it should be good enough to get Noons down. Even if Sotiropoulos can't take Noons down for some reason he should still be competitive standing. Noons has actually absorbed more significant strikes than he's landed overall, although I'm sure all the times he's been taken down have something to do with that. Sotiropoulos has a positive significant strike differential and could plausibly battle Noons in a striking match – mostly because Noons has such poor defense. The best chance Noons has of winning is to thwart the takedowns and perhaps win by knockout. Sotiropoulos has been knocked down six times in 221 significant strikes. That gives him the worst chin in the UFC lightweight division. Noons is not a knockout artist by any means but there is a decent chance of him finishing Sotiropoulos by strikes. Overall, I don't have enough faith in the ability of Noons to keep Sotiropoulos from taking him down. I think Sotiropoulos will get Noons to the ground, where his superior ground skills should carry him to his first UFC win in nearly three years. Pick: George Sotiropoulos by submission

Vermont remains the top ski state in the east and the fourth largest in the nation when measured by skier visits, with the state's ski areas averaging 117 operating days—4 days above the 10-year average of 113, and an average seasonal snowfall of 167 inches—a 25-inch increase over last year, but still 20 inches below the 10-year average. "Such strong results, particularly in the face of a challenging weather for much of the season, is a testament to the industry's solid planning, aggressive investments in snowmaking, efficiency and sustainability, and hard work by ski area and resort operators and their teams to deliver the best Vermont experience for their guests every day. Thanks to expert snowmaking teams operating some of the most powerful systems in the industry, Vermont really shines in a season like this one, and the resulting strong skier traffic is not only important for ski areas, but also for the many Vermont businesses and communities that rely on that traffic for their success," said Molly Mahar, President of Ski Vermont. Despite mild weather in November, nine areas opened for Thanksgiving Weekend—the unofficial kickoff to the ski season. That same weekend Killington hosted women's World Cup racing, an event that boosted the local economy by an estimated $6 million. A large mid- December snowstorm helped double the amount of open terrain for the Christmas-New Year's holiday break, one of three key business periods for the industry. While early January and early February brought extended stretches of mild temperatures, March flipped expectations, gifting skiers and riders several massive snowstorms. One such storm blanketed several ski areas with over 36" and brought the best conditions of the season. With a healthy snowpack and 100 percent open terrain across Vermont, March restored its reputation as the region's snowiest month. Several areas extended their seasons, with Jay Peak and Sugarbush skiing into May and Killington again offering the longest season in the East with skiing into June. Despite several weeks of mild weather forcing many to curtail operations for up to two weeks, Ski Vermont's 27 cross country ski areas still reported a statewide total of 402,394 skier days, a moderate increase over the previous season. Equally positive is the continued engagement by new participants who picked up the sport during the pandemic and have stayed. A majority (56.1%) of those cross-country skiers define themselves as "outdoor everything." VSAA's Annual Meeting addressed a range of important topics, with presenters including Chauncy Johnson of the Snow Angel Foundation speaking about collision awareness and safety; Chief Don Stevens of the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation discussing opportunities for collaboration and awareness with the Abenaki people; Commissioner Heather Pelham, Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing and Commissioner Josh Hanford, Vermont Department of Housing and Community Friend of the Industry Awards were presented to Michael Snyder, former commissioner of the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation, and Bo Adams of MountainGuard. Industry achievement awards were presented to Win Smith, former president and CEO of Sugarbush Resort, Bill Nupp President and COO of Stratton Mountain Resort and Dave Moulton, Senior Director of Mountain Operations at Mount Snow Resort. A very special Founder's Award was presented to Ralph DesLauriers of Bolton Valley Resort.

Scunthorpe among most polluted UK cities Just below industrial cities like London and Sheffield. Scunthorpe has been named among the worst cities in the UK for air pollution in a new World Health Organisation report. There are two types of air pollution PM10 (particles between 2.5 and 10 micro meters) and PM2.5 (particles less than 2.5 micro meters). Within the UK, Scunthorpe was named as the 10th worst city for PM10 pollution and the 8th worst city for PM2.5 pollution. Only just below industrial cities like London and Sheffield. For each µg/m3 (one-millionth of a gram per cubic meter) of air in Scunthorpe, there are 22 PM10 particles and 15 PM2.5 particles. 1.5 times the target level of pollution for PM2.5 particles. By comparison, the worst city in the UK, Port Talbot, had 27 PM10 particles and 18 PM2.5 particles per µg/m3 of air. 10 micro meters is less than the width of a single hair, and can be easily ingested into the lungs where it can lead to health problems such as lung cancer, respiratory infections and pneumonia. PM10 includes particles such as road dust, whereas PM2.5 particles are produced via combustion and come from factories, motor vehicles and wood burning.

Sephora Debuts In-Store Recycling Program for Beauty Packaging Sephora has teamed up with the nonprofit Pact Collective to roll out the Beauty (Re)Purposed recycling program at more than 600 stores across the U.S. and Canada. The program, which will launch in May 2023, will allow consumers to give hard-to-recycle beauty and wellness packaging waste a second life. Together, the beauty and wellness industries generate 120 billion packages every year, the majority of which end up in landfills because they are either too small, too flexible or made of too many materials to be recycled traditionally. Sephora customers will now be able to bring those empty product containers, no matter the brand, to any Sephora retail store, although Sephora at Kohl's locations will not be participating in the program. Once enough volume has been collected, Pact will sell the collected materials to a partner that will turn the material into something else, such as carpet, pallets, asphalt, new packaging or energy. "The launch of the Beauty (Re)Purposed program is an exciting step forward in Sephora's commitment to leading the industry and offering more sustainable solutions for the communities we serve," said Desta Raines, Director of Sustainability at Sephora in a statement. "The reality is that discarding beauty packaging can be complex for many consumers. It was important for Sephora to find a partner like Pact who shares our values and, in collaboration, can help to educate our clients and the broader industry in making the process more accessible for all." The new program will operate alongside Sephora's longstanding partnership with G2 Revolution, a specialty recycling solutions company, to divert returned, damaged or expired cosmetic product waste from landfills. G2 will now provide support to Beauty (Re)Repurposed with Pact. "Partnering with a major player like Sephora is a critical step in scaling our collection program and making it more widely available to beauty shoppers," said Carly Snider, Program Director at Pact in a statement. "Together, we're excited to take responsibility for beauty's packaging problem and encourage more sustainable packaging decisions to drive industry-wide change." Sephora isn't the only retailer working to help consumers effectively reduce plastic waste. Other retailers that have recently launched plastic recycling programs include: - Petco, which is piloting an in-store recycling program for plastic waste, including used plastic shopping bags, plastic film, can cases and small-bag dog food in 40 stores; - The Body Shop has expanded its successful refillables program — which prevented more than half a million plastic bottles from entering the environment in 2022 — to include lipstick, alongside hair care products, shower gels and hand soaps; - Saks has partnered with TerraCycle to launch the Saks Beauty Recycling program, which lets shoppers send in empty beauty containers through Saks.com or drop them at select Saks Fifth Avenue stores across the U.S.; and - Three years ago, Nordstrom launched its BeautyCycle recycling program for empty beauty product packaging at all of its full-line stores in the U.S.

Navigating the Online Journey: In today's digital age, the online journey has become an indispensable part of our lives. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a content creator, or a professional seeking to expand your online presence, success in the virtual realm is both achievable and rewarding. But what does it take to succeed online, and once you've tasted success, how can you maintain it? In this blog post, we'll explore the key elements of a successful online journey and offer insights on how to sustain your accomplishments. Navigating the Online Journey: The Essentials of Online Success 1. Define Your Purpose The foundation of any successful online journey begins with a clear sense of purpose. Ask yourself why you're venturing into the digital world. Is it to share your passion, build a business, or connect with a specific audience? Understanding your purpose will guide your actions and decisions. 2. Build a Strong Online Presence Creating a strong online presence is akin to constructing a digital storefront. This involves having a professional website, engaging social media profiles, and consistent branding. Your online presence is often the first impression people have of you or your business, so it's essential to make it appealing and authentic. 3. Quality Content is King Content is the lifeblood of the internet. Whether you're crafting blog posts, creating videos, or designing graphics, prioritize quality. Provide value to your audience, and they'll keep coming back for more. Remember that consistency is key, so maintain a regular posting schedule. 4. Engage with Your Audience Successful online journeys are built on relationships. Interact with your audience through comments, messages, and social media engagement. Show appreciation for your followers, and be responsive to their feedback. Building a community around your online presence fosters loyalty and trust. 5. Adapt and Evolve The digital landscape is ever-changing. What worked yesterday might not work tomorrow. Stay updated on industry trends and be willing to adapt your strategies. Flexibility and a willingness to learn are essential for long-term success. Part 2: Sustaining Success in the Online World 1. Consistency is the Key Maintaining success online requires continued effort. Keep producing high-quality content and engaging with your audience consistently. Consistency not only keeps your audience engaged but also helps you stay relevant. 2. Diversify Your Offerings Don't rely on a single platform or revenue stream. Diversify your offerings to reduce risk. For example, if you're a content creator, explore merchandise, affiliate marketing, or even consulting services related to your niche. 3. Monitor Your Analytics Data is your ally in the online world. Monitor your website and social media analytics to understand what's working and what needs improvement. Use this data to refine your strategies and make informed decisions. 4. Embrace Innovation Technology is constantly evolving, and embracing new tools and platforms can give you an edge. Stay open to innovations like live streaming, virtual reality, or AI-driven marketing solutions. Experiment and see what works for you. 5. Invest in Self-Improvement Never stop learning and improving your skills. Attend webinars, courses, and conferences related to your field. Investing in your knowledge and expertise will not only benefit you but also provide value to your audience. Embarking on an online journey can be both thrilling and challenging, but with the right mindset and strategies, success is within reach. Remember to define your purpose, build a strong online presence, prioritize quality content, engage with your audience, and adapt to changes. To maintain success, maintain consistency, diversify your offerings, monitor analytics, embrace innovation, and invest in self-improvement. By following these principles, you'll not only achieve success but also thrive in the ever-evolving online world.
