I had the kernel of this blog post a few weeks ago. The idea of the blog post grew and crystalized after viewing Dave Thomas’s presentation ‘The Death of Agile’. It is easily one of the best videos I have seen from an entertainment and educational point of view. I really love watching presentations from people who are simply excellent at presenting. It gives you the same pleasure as reading a book by an author who uses the english language effortlessly.
If you haven’t seen the presentation yet, you can view it at the following link.
The first part of the presentation is a tongue-in-cheek view of the past history of the business of Agile. It is a very humourous romp through history. Very entertaining and Dave is such a great presenter you really wonder if he is joking or not. It takes us to get to about the 15:00 mark until Dave lets us in on the joke.
There has been so much talk in Agile lately that unless you are doing some methods with no accommodation, you are not Agile. Not doing User Story Mapping? You are not Agile. Don’t have a true flow process in place? You are not Agile. Still Estimating? You are not Agile. Just doing iteration and mini-waterfalls? You are definitely not Agile and should do the walk of shame.
The hard part is all of us need to take the Agile Movement back from the precipice of being a noun and make it a verb once again. The Agile Manifesto understood this. Every principle had a continuum and action implied. They never said thou shalt never do Contract Negotiation again, but that we should move towards Customer Collaboration. Implied in that is that we should be always moving, improving, and adjusting.
In short, we need to take a noun and turn it back into a verb. Agile isn’t something to achieve. Agility is a state of mind about constant improvement no matter where you currently are. Some of us are in Texas and some of us are in France just based upon the context of our projects, teams. and clients. We should always seek to understand each other and help to coach them. But always respect where they are first.
This blog post came about by reading Mike Cohn’s blog – “An Interative Waterfall isn’t Agile“. Instead of judging each other we need to help each other and if some people have just made the step to Iterative Waterfall… well God Bless them..
Good article – I often have to battle dogmatic (pseudo) agile. People need to remember the meaning of the noun.

Easily one of the most important things about playing a classical, string instrument with a bow is practice. You genuinely can’t learn to sound better without it. But what if you could have visual feedback? That is exactly what Aldous Mina asked himself while playing the violin. And since there was nothing like it in existence – he decided to create a bow that gives you all of the important information about how you play it. It is called the ‘Smart Bow “Bella” Model’ and it integrates an electronic system into to “frog” of a bow. And what’s even better is that information going to your smartphone, where you can see pressure, speed, and other info. This is such a brilliant idea, it’s hard to imagine how we’ve come this far without it. | 2019-04-26T06:32:57 | http://blog.123.design/music/innovation-for-classic-music/ |
One of the first things the Cameron-Clegg government did when it came into power in 2010 was to announce the revocation of child benefit from families where one earner earned above £42,000 p.a. (the threshold for the 40% marginal tax bracket). They’ve held to this — and the implicit penalty for single-income families — though they have sensibly replaced the sharp cutoff, which would have caused some people to actually lose money if they got a salary raise, by a more gradual cutoff between £50,000 and £60,000. This was superficially sensible — in times of austerity, why should wealthy parents be getting a government handout? — although most developed countries have some sort of tax credit for children, reflecting a sense that some of the cost of taking care of children should be seen as public costs. In the US this comes in the form of an income deduction, so that high-income parents who pay more tax also get a larger subsidy, so the old UK system was less biased toward subsidising wealthy parents. For that matter, the same is true of the credit for childcare expenses in the UK, which comes in the form of paying expenses with pretax income, effectively giving a larger subsidy to wealthier parents. This has been slightly modified, but it still favours the wealthy.
Anyway, so far so consistent. But now the government has announced that they want to spend more money on children, to provide free school lunches to all children up to age 7. (Poor children already get free lunches, and there is also free fruit for children up to age 7.) The rhetoric around it is the government claim that parents don’t know how to pack appropriately nutritious lunches for their children. So the government has taken away a subsidy that parents could have spent in any way the choose — including nutritious lunches — and replaced it with a subsidy to the companies that have not been very successful at convincing children to eat their lunches voluntarily. And this from the party that attacks Labour as the party of the “nanny state”. If I had a nanny who insisted they had better ideas than I of what my children should eat, I would fire them.
It’s not entirely the Conservatives’ fault. This seems to have been some sort of coalition bargain to gain Liberal Democrat support for their even more pointless priority of a tax subsidy for married couples (whether or not they have children). | 2019-04-24T04:19:36 | https://commoninfirmities.com/2013/10/07/free-meals-from-the-nanny-state/ |
The Vita and PS4 versions of Skullgirls Encore will be complete editions, featuring all the DLC characters, stages and story funded by Lab Zero’s Indiegogo campaign, as well as “All Play” multiplayer lobbies and an extensive art gallery. In addition, it’ll also be playable on PlayStation TV – supporting up to two local players using any combination of DualShock 3/4 controllers.
We’ll have more information on the game’s features and pricing as it’s released, but for now at least we can look forward to having Skullgirls Encore on Vita later this year.
This game is awesome! Definitely purchasing it again!.
Wow didn’t realize this game was coming originally to the vita. As far as 2D fighters go how does it compare to games like Blazeblue or Arcana Hearts? | 2019-04-20T06:12:28 | http://thevitalounge.net/2014/07/12/skullgirls-encore-coming-to-vita-and-ps4/ |

Those of us who are serving the Lord here in Europe, are greatly burdened about Europe. We are not worried about the economies, or even the cultures – but about the 700 million souls that fill this continent that we all call home! And we are excited too! Excited about the potential of doubling the number of Gospel preaching churches throughout this very dark continent! We all know how Jesus said, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” What we need is continual motivation and enablement to accomplish that command! This Church Planting Conference aims to meet that need!
Europe needs more Gospel preaching churches! If 10,000 Bible believing churches were started next year, and each were able to see 100 souls saved that year, that would represent less than .2% of the population of Europe (that’s not even 1/5th of 1 percent)!!!!!!! Europe is going to hell men, and we MUST decide to do whatever it takes to make a difference! And it all begins with our commitment to start more churches – places where the clear, simple Gospel of Jesus Christ is faithfully preached, week-in and week-out!
Our Church Planting Conference is my church’s attempt to help start churches in Europe! Yes, the whole world is going to hell, but our burden is especially for European souls! And my church is determined to personally have a hand in helping start 20 new churches by the year 2020. Would you accept the same burden for your church?
The European Church Planting Conference is a gathering of like-minded men and churches to stir us up for lost souls AND for planting new churches all over Europe! We will challenge our understanding of just how lost this continent is; We will allow ourselves to be rebuked and corrected for NOT having more of a burden for church planting; And we will rejoice to be exhorted to do “so much the more as we see the day approaching” (Hebrews 10:25)! Can we not do more?
· Missionary and pastor wives and ladies are encouraged to stay for first message, and then spend time fellowshipping together by going shopping, or have coffee together for the next 4 hours.
This conference is a great way to get together for fellowship and encouragement as preachers and Gospel ministers, but its main focus is the equipping of men and their ministries to START new churches all over Europe! Missionary families come to Europe, and leave far to quickly, and way too often. Maybe we all could work together to enable missionaries to STAY in Europe and succeed in Europe! We have dedicated ourselves to doing whatever it takes to encourage God’s men and their families to accomplish the burden of evangelizing Europe once again with the Gospel!
We want to encourage ministries, by encouraging churches IN EUROPE going to visit other churches, on Mission Trips, and help them with Bible Clubs, Soul-Winning, and just anything else that might be needed! We ALL could use some encouragement from one another!
Like-minded independent Baptist men and their wives and families who are burdened to start more Gospel preaching churches in Europe will be in Arklow this year. I know “I” and many of the men from my church will be there! Potentially there could be hundreds of men here… but the question is simply, WILL YOU BE THERE? | 2019-04-18T17:23:14 | http://biblebc.com/EuropeanChurches/ECPC.html |
Los Angeles, California : Taleveras and Global Green Development announced the creation of a Joint Venture company that will be focused on developing and building a biofuel refinery in the United States of America.
The Joint venture, Global Green Energy will research and develop technology for production of low carbon biofuels. The targeted fuels will be for military operational use and the aviation industry. The goal of this project by Global Green Energy is to increase the domestic advanced biofuels production capacity by establishing complete domestic value chains capable of producing drop-in replacement biofuels. This includes feedstock production and logistics, conversion facilities (Integrated Biorefineries), fuel blending (if required), transportation, and Logistics. The Proposed IBPE (Integrated Biofuel Production Enterprise) will be able to establish a capacity to produce at least 10 million gallons of neat Biofuel per year under its initial pilot program in Claiborne County, Mississippi.
Additionally, the Biofuel project envisioned in this joint venture is expected to include a capability to blend the neat biofuel product with petroleum-based equivalent fuels in order to meet approved certifications and specifications. The capabilities and/or facilities to store and transport the resulting product will also be a critical part of the IBPE project.
The project will be in different phases, and will also involve the establishment of farming cooperatives in Africa to grow the energy feedstock (Jatropha). The Jatropha will be refined in Africa in modular refineries located near the production sites/farms and the produced biofuel will be sent to United States to be blended in the biofuel refinery.
Taleveras is an African independent energy company founded in 2004 and focused on unlocking the value of African hydrocarbon potential. Taleveras experience in the international oil and gas trading business, specifically supply, trading, exploration and production, has been cultivated in Africa, where they have worked together with world class partners to realize superior returns while preserving the environment.
Global Green Development Group (GGDG) is a business consortium that is made up of experienced and skilled consortium members with the common interest of assisting with the challenge of Africa’s economic and infrastructure development. GGDG team members are each seasoned companies with technical skills in varying fields. GGDG focuses on Agriculture, Infrastructure Development, and Energy in Africa.
Global Green Energy a major Pan-African Energy Company brings together two leaders in their industries and leverages their strengths – from financing feedstocks to fuel manufacturing to marketing – to create a sustainable, economic, non-food biofuels business at commercial scale. | 2019-04-23T02:48:19 | http://ggdgnow.com/ggdg-and-top-african-firm-sign-joint-venture-to-build-biofuel-refinery-in-usa/ |

Food blogs are a lot of work. More work than other blogs; you don't just sit down and write a post when you blog about food. No, you are researching food trends, scouting out new recipes, then planning, shopping, and cooking the food. You work on plating it, taking photographs, then downloading and tweaking the photos. Sometimes I have to shoot things twice if the first batch don't turn out, which is pretty common this time of year when the light is bad. Often my weekends are full of shopping, cooking, and taking photos so that I have content both for this blog and Yummy Mummy Club.
Afterwards, I sit down and write the recipe, and post. Often I'm up very late at my laptop, typing well into the wee hours. In total, each recipe on this site represents hours of work.
Many people are unsure about copyright laws and how they pertain to food blogs, and since I've had a number of people come and help themselves to my work here, I'm going to explain what readers are allowed, and not allowed to do with my work on Chasing Tomatoes.
-post the recipe on your blog if YOU write the instructions in your own words and use your own photos.
-print the recipes for your own personal use. It's hard to cook in a kitchen via laptop!
Many of the recipes on my site are adapted from elsewhere. This is because lists of ingredients can NOT be copyrighted. Help yourself! Make the recipe, re-blog it elsewhere. I don't expect you to write "adapted from Chasing Tomatoes" if the recipe is something that I sourced from elsewhere and changed very little. It would be nice of you to mention me, but I expect that you'll credit the original source, which is who I've credited. However, there are recipes that I have come up with on my own, and with those it would be nice to be credited.
But read on to the ONE thing that stops you from straight copy/paste even if you include a link back.
Here's where it gets trickier. While you CAN use the ingredient lists, you can NOT just take the written instructions. Those words are absolutely mine and protected by copyright. Don't be lazy, write your own! The photos are also protected by copyright, and belong to me. I do NOT want them used anywhere without my written permission. Ask! If you are doing a post where you feature other's work, just let me know what you are doing, include a link back to the recipe, and many times, I will say yes.
Do not take posts, then leave a comment telling me "Thanks for sharing. I reposted this on my blog with a link back to you." I have had this happen a bunch of times in the last year. Asking after you've already take the post is still stealing.Then, it becomes awkward because I need to write you and convince you to take it down. Even if you have no malicious intent, it feels like my work is being held hostage and the likelihood of me ever giving you permission to use ANY of my work ever again is nil.
Is that the kind of blogger you want to be?
The first time this happened, a reader took an entire post and photo. When I protested and tried to explain copyright, they said that they just "borrowed it" to "make things easier for their readers". Copying posts is not borrowing. It doesn't make things better for their readers, it makes things easier for the blogger who is too lazy to come up with their own work. When I continued to protest, they removed the photo but kept the written recipe which is, in fact, mine. They altered it slightly, probably so that I'd leave them alone. In place of the photo they left a blurb which made me sound mean because I wouldn't let them use it. If they had just asked first, I would have. I even offered to guest post and write the beginning of the post to better suit their blog and allow them to leave it. I wanted to be nice, really.
The second time, a reader took a post and when I emailed to explain copyright, they removed it and then began asking me for blogging advice on how to increase their traffic. SERIOUSLY? Perhaps one should start with not using other people's work. If you want advice about how to get traffic just email me, but don't take my words.
Someone else didn't leave a comment, but instead copied a post and added it to Food.com. Yes, she did leave a link. But those are MY words, not hers and she didn't ask me.
Another has left a comment saying they have re-posted one of my recipes on their blog with a link back, but no such link is to be found.
Just because things are on the Internet doesn't mean they are free for the taking. I will not be grateful that you have chosen to feature my work on your site, no matter how famous you are or how much traffic your site gets. It doesn't matter if you add a link back and tell me after the fact, taking other people's work is stealing, plain and simple.
Besides, I'm sure that you have a ton of fantastic ideas that I could never come up with. You are fantastic and creative on your own, and the last thing you need to do is sell yourself short by copying someone else's work. I will freely offer advice and support to people who are trying to establish themselves in the blogging world, but I won't give you my work. That is personal. It's the food shared around the table by my family, it's hours spent tweaking photos and words until they are just right, it's recipes perfected so that my readers will enjoy them at home. It's a piece of ME. | 2019-04-22T01:09:01 | http://www.chasingtomatoes.ca/2012/01/why-you-shouldnt-copy-and-paste-recipes.html |

The Department of Education has issued new guidance for school districts on how to devise schoolwide plans for Title I money aimed at raising the achievement of disadvantaged students.
The long-awaited “nonregulatory” guidance is intended to help steer schools through federal legislation—though the guidance itself is not binding—as schools set up comprehensive Title I compensatory education programs reauthorized under the No Child Left Behind Act. The 4-year-old law is the latest version of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
The guidance allows a school with at least 40 percent of its students determined to be low-income to operate a schoolwide program, as opposed to a targeted program. A targeted program seeks to identify and specifically serve low-income students.
To create a schoolwide program, a school must redesign its entire educational program to serve all students, the guidance says. The schoolwide idea has gained popularity as it reflects principles emphasized in the No Child Left Behind law, including accountability, research-based practices, and community engagement.
The guidance, issued late last month, says a school wanting to establish a schoolwide program must conduct a comprehensive assessment of the school’s strengths and weaknesses and develop a plan that lays out ways to attract and keep highly qualified teachers, identify research-based strategies to raise achievement for all students, increase parental involvement, and coordinate federal, state, and local programs.
The guidance has long been anticipated. The department said in the Federal Register in July 2004 that the secretary of education planned to issue the guidance “in the near future.” And a Dec. 29, 2005, report from the department’s inspector general’s office chided officials for not releasing the information sooner.
Keith A. Butcher, the state Title I director for the West Virginia Department of Education, said a lack of guidance hasn’t hindered his state, however. Ninety percent of schools in the state have schoolwide Title I programs, he said. To set those programs up, Mr. Butcher said, the state and districts relied on the language in the federal education law itself.
Mr. Butcher said the new guidance would likely not change the way schoolwide programs are set up in West Virginia, but does provide excellent tools for crafting a comprehensive plan.

Today, I would like to share my mother’s recipe for date and walnut cookies. She often substitutes cashew nuts for the walnuts when we run out of walnuts.
I also wanted to mention a start-up that came to my attention recently and thought it might be of interest to those planning travels around Asia. Withlocals.com is a venture, currently covering 7 countries including Sri Lanka, initiated by a group of self-labelled ‘digital geeks with a combined passion for travelling, food and people.’ The interesting part of their services is ‘Eat with locals,’ where local hosts register to offer home-cooked meals. I might take up the offer of Martin (a staff at Withlocals.com) to try one of the eating experiences listed, next time a non-Sri Lankan friend visits me, provided the host is willing to share one of the recipes on this blog.
Mix all the ingredients. Add a little water if the mixture is too dry.
Place the cookie dough on a lightly greased tray tablespoon at a time leaving an inch of space between them.
Bake for about 20 mins at 170⁰C/338⁰F.
Since there were still some fresh walnuts left at home, my mother decided to bake some of her heart healthy cookies. So, here’s the recipe for her raisins and walnut cookies.
Heat the margarine and sugar in a saucepan over low heat and melt the margarine.
Add ¼ cup of milk or water to the sauce pan and stir well.
Add 1 tsp baking powder to the flour and oats. Mix.
Add the flour and oats mix, vanilla essence, raisins and chopped walnuts to the slightly cooled melted margarine sauce. Mix well to ensure that the mixture comes together as cookie dough. Add a little more flour, if the batter is still slightly watery.
Divide the dough into 22 balls and flatten slightly before placing on baking tray.
Bake at 220⁰C/428⁰F for 20 mins.
Another cookie recipe, of my mother, for those looking for diabetic friendly snacks.
Heat the margarine and sugar in a saucepan till the margarine melts and the mixture thickens. Remove saucepan from stove.
Stir in the oats and coarsely ground peanuts into the sugar and margarine mixture in the saucepan. Add a few drops of vanilla essence.
Sift the flour with baking powder and cocoa powder. Add the flour to the rest of the ingredients. Add a little water so that it is easier to bring the cookie dough together.
Divide the dough into 28 balls.
Bake at 220⁰C/428⁰F for 15 mins.
Given that lots of people in my family have diabetes, my mother has taken to making her own sugar-free cookies or cookies with minimum sugar. Today’s recipe is her recipe for chocolate chip and cashew nut cookies.
Whisk the brown sugar and margarine till it is creamy and smooth.
Add the oats to the creamed sugar and margarine and mix.
Sift the wheat flour together with the baking powder and soda and add to the cookie mix.
Add the milk gradually, kneading the cookie mix into a slightly batter-like dough, not too firm and easy to mold into little balls.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped cashew nuts.
Divide the dough into little balls and leave them on the baking tray, for about 5 – 10 mins, before putting them in the oven.
Bake the cookies for about 15 – 20 mins at 220⁰C/ 428⁰F.
Remove the baking tray from oven when the cookies are golden brown and let them cool before serving. | 2019-04-24T04:06:13 | https://srilankancuisine.wordpress.com/tag/cookie/ |

Water babies land on their feet at Villa Mandi – not only does it have a top-drawer swimming scene, but comes with free waterpark entry, too.
Villa Mandi is slotted into a peaceful plot, right next to a good-sized golf course*. You can eye the manicured greens from the hotel’s grounds, which are styled up to look like a traditional Canarian village.
An added perk of staying here is the free, multi-day access to the Siam Park waterpark, which is widely known for being one of the best on the planet. You can get there – and to a beach – in 10 minutes’ drive.

I adore THIS beautiful poinsettia digital stamp from Jane's Doodles. So elegant.
I printed it twice onto digi paper from THIS kit, cut it out and inked the ends with Fired Brick distress ink. The yummy music paper is THIS one, and the sentiment is from THIS wood set. LOVE the mixed fonts.
Just wanted to thank you all for all the lovely comments yesterday - my day was not good, and you really cheered me up.
Beautiful card! I really like the colors!
Simple and oh so elegant. Love it!

Did you want to try and uninstall Opera and then remove Opera stuff from the registry?
I'm willing to give some registry editing shot, I have a feeling that is where the problem is.
Never had a problem with the ISP before, and actually just swapped out the router the other day.
Delete Opera keys under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet".
Delete Opera strings from "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RegisteredApplications".
Do the same for those Opera keys and strings under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node".
Delete Opera strings if they're in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RegisteredApplications".
Delete Opera entries in "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache".
Delete Opera entries in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache".
Delete launcher.exe entries in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationAssociationToasts".
Delete Opera entries in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search\JumplistData".
Delete Opera entries in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Compatibility Assistant\Store".
Delete Opera enttries from "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Compatibility Assistant\Persisted".
Delete Opera keys in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall".
Look for any "Opera Developer" and "Opera Beta" keys and remove those too.
Look for any of those keys/entries under any of the other users listed in the registry and remove those Opera ones too.
In Explorer, delete "C:\Program Files\Opera", "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera", "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software", and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera Software". Delete any "Opera Developer" and "Opera Beta" folders too.
Delete any Opera files and folders in "C:\Windows\Temp".
Delete all the files that you can in "C:\Users\yourusername\Appdata\Local\temp".
Delete any Opera folders in "C:\Users\yourusername\Appdata\Local\programs".
Opera should then be pretty clean from the system. Then, download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to "C:\Program Files\Opera", set "install for" to "all users", uncheck "import data" and anything else you want to uncheck and then install. Then try Opera in its default state.
Now, you could use a registry cleaner to do the registry stuff first and then check for leftovers. But, this way, you can manually check everything you're going to delete.
If after doing all that and reinstalling Opera, if it still doesn't work, you might try a registry cleaner. CCleaner can do some cleaning, but there's a better one that often fixes issues. I just can't remember the name of it. Maybe some others have some suggestions.
@aspiring-squirrel I have that too and I think it's legit. See https://forum.adlice.com/index.php?topic=3340.msg7567#msg7567 for example.
OK, went through registry and disk directories, also used Auslogics Registry Cleaner ... No change.
@aspiring-squirrel Okay. Will think of some other things to try later.
In your normal Opera and in standalone installations you try, goto opera://extensions and click "all" if you haven't. Perhaps some extension is getting auto-installed somehow.
(or wherever you have Opera installed).
launcher.exe "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36 OPR/57.0.3098.76"
Then see what Opera gets detected as. Is the OPR part still stripped? If so, does everything else match or is a different version of Chrome and AppleWebkit detected?
launcher.exe "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0"
Does Opera get detected as that or does it still come up as Chrome?
Doing this may reveal something.
Just for addons.opera.com, ctrl + shift + i to open developer tools. Switch to the Network tab. Click "disable cache". Click the 3 dots at the upper right of the developer tools and undock to a separate window. Click the 3 dots again, goto "More tools" and then "Network Conditions". Then, at the bottom, uncheck "select automatically" for "User agent". In the drop-down for the User Agent, set the user agent to Opera for Windows for example. then, ctrl + r or F5 to reload. Then, switch back to the addons.opera.com tab in the main window. Does Opera get detected right then? If not, try Opera for Mac instead.
Again, maybe this will reveal how the user-agent is getting changed on you.
You said you checked for malware. But, any anti-virus software or security software or firewall software that might be interfering?
launcher.exe "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36 OPLR/57.0.3098.76"
Notice the "L" in OPR. If the OPLR doesn't get stripped, then whatever perhaps whatever is causing the issue is looking for opr specifically.
Of course, maybe we're still missing something obvious and simple. | 2019-04-25T06:32:33 | https://forums.opera.com/topic/29730/opera-doesn-t-recognise-itself/?page=2 |

There is an upgrade path in place which should work fine for basic installations - just make use of update.php as usual. Update.php is not going to convert your Rules 1.x rules to Rules 2.x though, that's done in a separate step. Check the REAMDE.txt for details.
Amazing work. Now I really need to learn to master rules, no more excuses to postpone it. Johan Falk's Learn the Rules framework is a great start.
I hope you did the debug screenshot on a slow box, because when we addition everything, it cames up to 20ms which is huge. Aside of that, interesting article, thanks.
Those times are already summed up.
Sorry to bother you. First of all many thanks for your amazing work. I have though a problem when using Rules in Drupal 7. Something I used to be able to do in D6. I have a node field that is of type long text and is filered Full HTML. I set up a rule that after a certain event should populate that field with a certain html snippet. I put the condition the entity to contain that field. I think I did everything by the book but I cannot make that filed to contain html. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

He was elected as the ninth FIFA President after the second ballot with 115 of 207 total votes. In line with the FIFA Statutes, the mandate of the new FIFA President started after the conclusion of the Congress on Friday 26th of March, 2016.
While the world is still buzzing over the elections, Infantino got straight to work as the newly-elected President, opening the FIFA World Football Museum as his first official duty.
Led on stage by Stephane Chapuisat – a former star of the Bundesliga and Swiss national team – a group of juniors from the local club FC Wollishofen entered the hall. The youngsters set the scene for the ‘F2 Freestylers’, who wowed the audience with their audacious tricks, before handing a ball over to the new FIFA President and museum director Stefan Jost for the museum’s official ‘kick-off’. A talk with Jost, Mario Fehr of the Swiss National Council, Norbert Müller, Chief of Staff of Zurich’s Mayor Corine Mauch, and FIFA Secretary General Markus Kattner rounded off the official part of the event.
The museum’s aim is to take visitors on an emotional journey of footballing discovery, and Kattner for one is firmly convinced by its appeal. Covering an area of 3,000 m², over 1,000 objects, 1,400 photos, some 500 videos, 60 screens and 15 interactive stations all come together to form a unique football experience. Additionally, the museum also boasts a sports bar, a bistro, a café-bar and a library – all of which are available to the public – as well as events and seminar rooms. | 2019-04-23T02:53:46 | https://www.cookislandsfootball.com/archives-545/ |

Sky Sports pundit Stephen Warnock has placed a huge compliment on Leroy Sane by comparing the German attacker with Premier League and Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs. The Germany international endured a tough start to the top-flight season with Manchester City but he has sorted himself over the past few months where he has contributed six goals and six assists from just seven league starts.
Sane has been more of a regular for the Citizens in recent months and this has witnessed Pep Guardiola swap his options on the opposite end with Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling among those featuring on the right side of the attack. Nonetheless, the German cannot take things for granted with Guardiola’s shrewd selection policy and one poor performance could witness him return to the substitutes’ bench.
Manchester City secured a hard-fought 2-1 triumph over Watford during the recent Premier League outing but they should have won by a bigger margin with Sane and Gabriel Jesus being guilty of missing one-on-one chances with goalkeeper Ben Foster. The Mancunian giants are presently holding a two-point advantage at the top of the table and are scheduled to face Chelsea on the road this weekend. | 2019-04-18T23:07:41 | https://www.stephenwarnockfan.net/sky-sports-pundit-compares-leroy-sane-with-premier-league-great/ |
With two more weeks available for bill filing, a number of private school voucher proposals have already been filed for consideration by the 84th Legislature. It is possible that some of the bills may be heard in committee as early as next week. Stay tuned to Teach the Vote for updates.
Senate Bill (SB) 276 by Sen. Donna Campbell (R-San Antonio) would create a “taxpayer savings grant program” that is supposed to result in “state savings and government efficiency.” It is the bill that most closely approximates a private school voucher in the traditional sense by offering parents reimbursement of tuition paid for their children to attend private schools. The reimbursements would come out of the state coffers and would amount to the lesser of the actual tuition or 60 percent of the state’s average per-pupil expenditure in the public schools. Campbell’s bill has been referred to the Senate Education Committee but not yet scheduled for a public hearing.
SB 623 by Sen. Kelly Hancock (R-North Richland Hills) also promises public funding for children to attend private pre-kindergarten programs. It calls for school districts to contract with and pay private schools to operate the districts’ pre-K programs. Hancock’s bill has been referred to the Senate Education Committee.
House Bill (HB) 1043 filed by Rep. Dwayne Bohac (R-Houston) with an assist from Rep. Rick Miller (R-Sugar Land) calls for “a franchise or insurance premium tax credit for contributions made to certain educational assistance organizations.” Its companion bill, SB 642, was filed in the Senate by freshman Sen. Paul Bettencourt (R-Houston) and referred to the Senate Finance Committee. The House version of the bill has not yet been referred to a committee but is likely to be sent to the House Ways and Means Committee. Those “assistance organizations” described in the bills are private entities that would receive tax credits from the state in exchange for providing scholarships for students to attend public or private schools.
HB 895 by Rep. Rick Miller similarly offers a franchise or insurance premium tax credit for contributions made to certain educational assistance organizations. It has been referred to the House Ways and Means Committee, which typically hears tax bills.
Despite being characterized by their authors as tax relief measures or savings grants, all of these bills are proposals that ATPE considers to be vouchers; as such, we oppose these bills that would ultimately results in a loss of funding to the public schools. | 2019-04-21T20:32:32 | http://www.teachthevote.org/news/2015/02/26/a-voucher-by-any-other-name/ |
Thanks to you, the U.S. Government’s Columbia River Treaty “Working Draft” recommendation has come under fire during summer comment period.
The public comment period for the 'June 27 Working Draft' just closed; thousands of people registered their strong opposition to the Working Draft’s current language (a HUGE THANKS to all of you who weighed in!!!).
We expect one final updated Draft from the government to be released for public comment in September. So we may ask you for your help one more time to help improve the United States' starting position for negotiations and the prospects for a modernized Treaty. SOS and allies have been meeting with members of Congress and other elected officials this month to communicate our serious concerns with the Working Draft. You can view a copy of the letter that SOS and the NW Energy Coalition submitted jointly as our official public comment on August 14. | 2019-04-24T01:58:10 | https://www.wildsalmon.org/projects/modernizing-the-columbia-river-treaty/u-s-government-s-columbia-river-treaty-working-draft-recommendation-has-come-under-fire.html |
That being said I do think I actually nute burned this poor baby just with a pinch of bone meal in a about a litre of water!
I didn’t realize you had been waiting on perlite my bad ... if anything cause the burn my guess would be the blood meal at approx 15% nitrogen it’s pretty rough on tender seedlings!
hey thanks a lot eh. my wife is gonna be pissed when i buy one more thing for this soil mix though!
Here’s a nice scientific explanation of pH buffering. After reading this I am still wondering why I would want to add a liming agent to my mix at this point... is it not possible the combination of my tap water, bone meal, and kelp meal are accomplishing that for me?
Kelp meal also contains Ca and Mg.
Blood meal is acidic and peat is acidic.
I think I have to try this w/o liming. (And I’m not just being cheap, I have rationalized this and am willing to admit I was wrong if this thing shrivels up and dies from an overly acidic home/ too much nutrients). I will update the final soil mix I transplant to though, I still agree with ReikoX’s initial assessment of too much Kelp meal/dirt ratio.
Third set of leaves coming out. I transplanted already. That burn on the second set of leaves doesn’t seem to be getting any worse so I think it was that shot of bone meal tea i gave, It’s had two more watering since and the new growth looks healthy right now but too early to even tell I think.
As for the transplant. I just think that slashed up pot of top soil was too small and at two weeks the roots were starting to poke out the sides so I think it was good timing to let those roots grow more before they actually slowed their roll by air pruning and even getting too much light from me manually aerating that top soil with a toothpick from above and slashing up the 3” square pot.
Transplant went well, I just cut the pot and peeled it off and the dirt held together, decent root mass in there I think. Then i actually buried the stem about an inch in my soaking wet soil mix and didn’t water after. Instead I watered the new soil before in a separate container and precisely scooped into into the new pot to sort of sculp the new location. So it was surrounded by wet soil from all angles in the new home. It will permeate into the old medium and hopefully that will stimulated those roots as it dries out over the next few days. I will use my ph/moisture meter (on moisture setting) to determine when to water this pot for the first time.
So just tap water from here on out! Not even going to take the time to let it sit and have chlorine evaporate, I’m aiming for low wattage and low maintenance. Just wanted to try to make a solid organic soil mix with as few ingredients as possible.
So I have a little extra as I didn’t quite fill the pot... I assume it is 1.75gal when filled to the brim and therefor I mixed about 1.9 gallons of soil. Ph came out to about 6.7 after soaking in tap water... Wondering about the calibration of that meter after me using it for a while now. Assuming it is accurate then I obviously neutralized my mix to become a little less acidic by having more dirt relative to the “meals”, especially the acidic blood meal as I understand kelp and bone meal are ether neutral or alkaline respectively. But I thought adding more peat would actually acidify the mix more even against the worm castings and perlite. Oh well, I’m just happy to see <7 on my pH meter. That was the goal.
I turned the fan off to reduce stress after the transplant. I’ll turn it back on in a couple days.
I'll be watching the see how your experiment turns out.
Don’t forget your castings have Calcium also. I’ve also thought of doing the no lime mix. My water is high ph so I think the lime is causing me problems. I also use homemade worm castings. I do t see a problem with extra kelp. I used 2 cups a cubic foot of soil made. I also didn’t add any rock dust beside the lava rock I crushed. And I didn’t add bone meal but I’m thinking I should now in new mixes and recycled soil. Awesome looking plants so far. I would use my sons old diaper boxes to prop up the plant lol.
Moisture meter says WET still, not maxed. The gauge was “redlined” into the WET side after re potting, I basically just scooped mud around my transplant. So that’s a little under 24 hours of drying out. We’ll see how much more it dries out by tomorrow.
I turned the fan back on. As you can see I have an extremely unattractive “mounting kit” installed on there... Out of respect for anyone reading this I will try to make this look nicer soon!
I’ll let it go right down to DRY before I water again with the old Kitchener, Ontario hard water tappy tap. I’ll do a pH test after the next watering too, just to see if there’s any change from that 6.7ish recorded immediately after mixing and soaking.
New growth slowly coming through.
Soil drying out, that’s the moisture meter setting still.
We’ve had two of these from ikea for a while now lol. Ironic. But let’s be honest, the bigger problem is stopping my duct tape fan mount from doing this.
OK OK i am cheap, sorry not sorry.
Soil looks dry to be drying up top but reading still wet down at the bottom. I also rotated the pot.
What did you use, some wire?
I had two of these hangers meant for the garage that you just screw into dry wall and they are fairly thick metal hangers with a nice 90 degree corner that I taped the computer fan into lol. I added another one and a couple zip ties just to stabilize and ugly it up even more.
I pledge to get a nice white clip on fan and a second light by FY2020.
This plant smells good!!! I’ve been smelling it... and heavily mouth breathing over it ehhhhehehehhh.
I can physically feel the soil is dry over half way down the pot so this moisture meter reading is just the bottom 1/3 or so, still quiet moist. I considered putting additional drainage holes on the bottom but it already had about 8-10 holes around and one larger one in the middle with like a grille.
For this 1.75 gal pot, I think the soil seems to be drying out very reasonably considering the plant isn’t even really sucking up that water yet. Once it is really dry I’m sure those roots will have grown a bit and it’ll be sooo ready for a couple pints. As am I... almost daily .
I continue to rotate my pot.... really just for the sake of doing something. Sill moist down at the bottom too. I take take the moisture/pH meter out and rinse/wipe it every time I use it. Seems to be working still. Interesting how the bottom will stay wet for longer, probably because it’s cooler and has a lot more dirt to go through to evaporate. ROOT ROT CONDITIONS!?!? thinking/hoping there isn’t too much roots down there yet anyway and once there is there will be able to drink the water at a good rate. Slowly growing every day here.
Getting that moisture meter right down to the bottom and it is showing a steady drying out even way down there in the bottom quarter. I anticipate watering in 2-3 days.
I notice how much thicker the second node is from the stem under to cotyledons... I wonder if that’s normal or if it has to do with the angle of my fan not blowing on the base due to the lip of the pot?... Sparing no expense, I added the OEM deflector kit as a counter measure. Seems to have the wind directed across the stem where it meets the soil now.
So I’ve got rooting gel and one of these humidity domes. Just wondering if anyone would caution against trying to clone at this point? earlier/later?
Much later, you need a cutting about the size if the whole plant.
Soil feels very dry and crispy but down at the very bottom I still get a moisture reading. I will stop sticking this thing in the soil so I don’t damage the roots that must be growing into this bigger pot. I think once I water and check pH I’ll stop using this thing and just wait another week unless I visually observe the plant wilting.
I have had my tap water sitting in jugs to let the chlorine evaporate so I’ll use that soon. | 2019-04-24T02:46:38 | https://overgrow.com/t/one-papaya-seed-38w-led-19wx2-organic-soil/18244?page=2 |
SecuriGroup was delighted to host CBRE last week for a training day at the Head Office, showcasing CBRE's new '11 in 10' Customer Service Initiative.
11 in 10 is an initiative to help with the provision of service excellence delivery. It breaks down 11 different aspects of customer service, which need to be considered to ensure the most efficient and effective service is provided to all customers.
The training day, led by CBRE Facilities Manager Maureen Charlton, was very informative and positive for the 40+ attendees. Thanks to her excellent delivery of the topic, the initiative was understood clearly by our guests who were actively engaged throughout.
The opportunity to fully discuss the initiative proved very beneficial, with many of the attendees commenting on the productive discussion generated from the experience.
We are keen to continue such positive campaigns with CBRE. The opportunity to share such beneficial initiatives and best practice information is one of the many benefits of working with the global leader. | 2019-04-19T20:26:27 | https://www.securigroup.co.uk/company-updates/hosting-cbre-11-in-10-training-initiative |

Police in Pakistan say a methane gas explosion in a coal mine has killed at least four miners and trapped 13 others.
Local police official Wajeet Khan says the blast happened Sunday in the village of Sanjdi, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) east of Quetta.
He says rescuers have retrieved four bodies and that 13 other miners are missing and feared dead, with rescue operations hindered by the gas leak.
Cave-ins and other mining accidents in Pakistan are often attributed to the poor enforcement of safety regulations. | 2019-04-25T22:31:18 | https://www.emirates247.com/news/region/gas-explosion-in-pakistan-coal-mine-kills-4-traps-13-2018-08-13-1.672216 |
A new building for the Provincial Council Antwerp means a new meeting infrastructure. The provincial building has a ground floor and 14 floors. It combines a congress section in the front building and a tower building as office space. The front building is divided into two floors with auditorium, council chamber, exhibition space and lobby and on the first floor multipurpose spaces.
The office area has room for about 660 office workers. They share different types of workplaces, nobody has its' own desk. This way, the space is used efficiently.
ConnectedViews has been selected by the Provincial Council Antwerp as the Cloud service platform for their live streaming service and access to the recordings of the Provincial Council meetings for citizens. In addition to this basic functionality, the service also fulfills the need of having a long-term audiovisual archive. | 2019-04-19T09:09:43 | https://www.arbormedia.nl/company/news/provincial-council-antwerp-chooses-connectedviews |
I am grateful to Dave Macdonald, our safety control systems expert (and author of three highly praised books on the topic) who has kindly put together a short note on systematic errors, which is worth reading whether you are designing a control system for an instrumentation, mechanical or electrical system.
Most of us are familiar with the routine of version upgrades or specification revisions. It’s not too big a problem for a control system on a production process. “Sorry, just hold on a few minutes! ” Says the control engineer “but I didn’t quite understand what you wanted”.
But it’s a different story if the bug is dormant in a functional safety system, better known as a safety instrumented system (SIS) or emergency shutdown system. We can’t afford to have a wrong response just when the plant is about explode! So it’s not surprising that SIS projects involve some heavy duty quality assurance work to try to minimize the chances of systematic errors creeping into the design.
1. Faulty trip logic: An error in the trip logic diagram may not be revealed by testing the SIS as the faulty response will be built into the safety system. Testing the diagram with the (independent) process engineer might be a good idea here.
2. Not separating the safety sensor from the regular control sensor. Whatever goes wrong with the control loop will also afflict the safety function. We call this a common cause failure but it originates from a systematic design error.
3. Installing the trip sensor where it will not correctly read the process condition.
4. Failure to consider all possibilities when scoping a safety function. See below for a notorious example from the London Underground.
5. Safety controls often employ redundancy to ensure fault tolerance for random failures in the instruments. The benefits of doing this are significantly limited if the redundant instruments are identical since they may both suffer the same failure for the same reason.
A systematic failure example from my own experience: Two identical diaphragm seals for pressure transmitters on a distillation column failed together when a severe vacuum occurred during a shutdown. The diaphragms were stretched leaving a 30% zero offset on both transmitters. Not much help if one is for control and the other is for safety!
Always be on the alert for common cause failure possibilities between control and safety instruments. Always look for diversity between instruments on the same application.
Use the best quality assurance methods in hardware specification and in application software projects. Check back at each step forward in the project.
Apply the safety life cycle guidelines of IEC 61511 and then find someone who is genuinely independent of your project to review the project stages for pitfalls.
Strictly manage all design modifications and evaluate them for impact on the original safety requirements.
The more you look at design projects, the more you see the potential for built in errors. Be alert!

Great post, Miko. I too studied screenwriting and agree the craft can be a useful model for fiction–certainly for interesting fiction, as opposed, unfortunately, to the kind of “literary” fiction where not much happens and the stakes, if any, are obscured by the writer's elegant prose.
Aristotle had the right idea. You can have great characters and a great setting, but if there is no plot, no goal, no challenge, no obstacles, you just have a very nice Christmas letter. (I added the Christmas letter part.) It's what happens to those characters and who they become because of those challenges that make the story. Great post.
Interesting and informative post intertwining screenplays and telling a good story! And your point about death is well taken.
Learning the basics of writing is always a challenge. The lessons I learned from screenplays have made it a bit easier, in my opinion. And even though I detest formulaic writing, these formulas are so general that they merely provide some structure, or guidance, without hampering creativity.
Excellent point, Ann. Screenwriting techniques do improve the writer's ability to 'show, don't tell'.
I love the formulas you provided. An easy way to remember. Looking forward to parts II and III!
Glad they worked for you. I worried about them causing high school math flashbacks (ha ha), but they can be helpful.
Formulas weren't as meaningful to me as others, but the example you gave of the mom and the earthquake really made sense. And death was clearly the high stake. But what is metaphorical death? Do you mean something that is a huge disappointment to someone, like losing a ballgame for a kid? Perhaps a jail sentence, with out a death penalty? Looking forward to the next post.
Metaphorical death is being separated from the one(s) you love, not being able to save someone from a horrible fate, being or becoming unable to love. A divorced father who has to find a way to be with his children, a therapist trying to prevent her young patient from committing suicide, a self-centered bachelor suddenly thrust into fatherhood wanting to bond with his child. Yes, in some cases it can be losing the ballgame if you already feel like a loser in a greater sense and this would be the final blow to your spirit. However, metaphorical death is more than losing the game. It's losing your soul.
Great post, Miko – without an engrossing story, the words – no matter how beautifully arranged – are just words. | 2019-04-22T00:31:53 | https://thewritersinresidence.com/2015/09/09/from-screen-to-page-part-1-by-miko-johnston/ |

This article will help the reader understand more about the human body, how hydration impacts on muscle repair and weight loss along with a better understanding of what your daily intake of water should be based on your individual lifestyle choices. This article will not be based on hearsay, we will use scientific journals and government health advice to help get to the bottom of these issues in order to create some positive conclusions in order to better advance peoples’ knowledge regarding good hydration and what that means to their bodies and how exercise influences this equilibrium. Let us look at the details further and get to the bottom of this issue.
You already know this but just in case you don’t! If you undertake a strenuous cardiovascular or weight intensive workout you’ll find after a period of time that your body starts to sweat. This is the skin and body’s way of cooling you down during strenuous activity. However, you’re losing the water stored up in your body and you need to re-hydrate before, during and after otherwise you risk becoming severely dehydrated and this can cause short and long-term problems relating to your physical and mental health. So let’s look at the basics and find out what we can do to better hydrate and protect our bodies?
Why is Hydration so crucial to the human body?
Biomechanics is the study of the mechanical rules that relate, in essence, to the movement of the entire structure of the human body. Water plays a big part in the operation of the human body – especially in the context of movement and sports. Many people know that water is a large constituent part of the human body and plays a crucial role in physiological development and maintenance.
Palma, Buhan, Tavares and Rodrigues (2015: p413).
How much water does the human body need when exercising?
Two litres, six pints or whenever you feel thirsty… There are a myriad of different answers. However, what’s the right answer? It’s important to state that when exercising – and it doesn’t matter whether you are a world-class athlete, a weekend warrior or the occasional jogger – it is of vital importance that people keep hydrated during periods of exercise. According to the NHS, “there is currently no agreement about how much water we should drink each day. However, a good rule of thumb for a sedentary day is 2 litres” (NHS, 2015). So, the more active you are, the more water you drink above your 2 litre average minimum limit.
Water helps to fix your body before, during and after exercise!
Did you know that water can help biomechanically repair tissue before, during and after a workout? Every time you work out your muscle tissue will tear – don’t worry its microscopic and this is how you build muscle. By drinking the right amount of water, your body can synthesize protein which is muscle repair food and the genesis of muscle regrowth. Therefore, if the cells in the human body do not have enough water-based hydration then the delivery of proteins are deferred until hydration occurs. It is important to remember that dehydration can cause muscle depletion as dehydrated bodies will break down muscle tissue which is counterproductive towards the goal of muscle growth (Cleary et al, 2005: p288-290).
It is of crucial importance that people keep hydrated and this is especially pertinent if you exercise regularly. The body needs to repair muscle after a workout and good hydration can help to generate synthesis proteins that can help start the process of restoration. There is no single ‘rule of thumb’ regarding hydration levels. The NHS believes that people living a sedentary lifestyle should consume 2 litres of water. Therefore, anyone undertaking regular exercise should consume more than 2 litres otherwise they will be impeding muscle repair. Dehydration can cause massive health issues and can be detrimental to weight loss and muscle repair. So remember to keep hydrated! | 2019-04-21T20:33:32 | https://hydratem8.co.uk/hydration/hydration-and-biomechanics-body-repair-after-a-workout/ |

The photo does not do this dinner justice; it was one of the most amazing things I've come up with in quite awhile. It will definitely be making its way in to our regular rotation; it was packed with flavor, incredibly creamy and got rave reviews from our household. I did my standard lasagna recipe, but then swapped out the noodles for very thinly sliced butternut squash. It worked out so well!
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat olive oil in large pot, add onions and garlic and cook for a few minutes, until fragrant, then add meat.
2. When meat is cooked, add spaghetti sauce and tomatoes. Stir well then add honey and vinegar and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, to maximize flavors.
3. While sauce is simmering, prepare cashew cream. Place cashews, herbamare and liquid to desired consistency in the Vitamix. Blend until smooth and taste, add more seasoning if needed.
4. Pour thin layer of sauce in bottom of a 9x13 pan then place a single layer of butternut squash slices in dish then layer with sauce, cashew cream and spinach; continue layering like this until you fill the dish, with the tomato sauce on top.
5. Bake the lasagna at 350 degrees for about an hour, until it's bubbling and the squash is soft when you insert a knife. | 2019-04-24T04:44:39 | http://www.allergicadventures.com/blog/butternut-squash-lasagna |

Great Parks of the West and Trains too - Travel Video.
DVD. Client Denn Digital Camera. 75 Minutes. Perhaps the greatest array of natural wonders in the world is found in the western United States. Great Parks preserve them and open them to visitors. The world's single largest expanse of exposed granite comprises the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. Five Great Parks are carved from its valleys and peaks. They include glaciers, great rivers, five of the world's 20 highest waterfalls, deep canyons, lakes, bold monoliths and the world's largest trees. Just west, on the coast, is the world's tallest tree in the "Avenue of the Giants" grove. Yellowstone's great variety of trees, rivers, canyons and meadows are picturesque settings for buffalo, bear, wolf and elk. Volcanic chambers below produce belching fumaroles, boiling mud pots, hot clear pools and numerous vents and geysers. In the southwest are Death Valley, Joshua Tree, Saguaro, and the Petrified Forest Parks. Ancient Native Americans flourished at Mesa Verde and Canyon de Chelly. Echoes of their past are present there in today's rich Indian culture. A bold land, in colorful motif and design, shows startling contrasts in Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches National Park, Natural Bridges and the awe inspiring Grand Canyon. To the north are the remarkable vistas of Glacier Park and the rare temperate rain forest of Olympic Park. Mount St.Helens shows the volcanic past and present of the Pacific's Rim of Fire and reminds us that capricious nature can still awe and humble us. Much of this "Great West" was opened to settlers and industry by the railroads and a few of these trains still operate today. "The Durango-Silverton" in the Rocky Mountains, "The Skunk" crossing the Coastal Range and the "Grand Canyon Railway" are exciting examples.

The Superliners: Twilight Of An Era - Travel Video.
National Geographic. Before the days of jet travel, magnificent ocean liners such as the Queen Mary and the Normandie reigned over the Atlantic, setting standards of taste, luxury, and efficiency. They transported not only the rich and famous, but also soldiers during wartime, and emigrants seeking new lives in the land of opportunity. Luxury was defined in the early part of the 20th century by the Superliners. Now they are all but extinct. "The Superliners" takes viewers on a five-day journey aboard the Queen Elizabeth 2, the last superliner ever built. With 110,000 horsepower and 67,000 tons in mass, the QE2, launched in 1967, is just one of about a dozen such ships that existed as the largest moving manmade objects. Its 296th voyage westbound from Southampton to New York serves as a time capsule of a bygone era of travel and opulence. The United States, France's Normandy, and England's Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth are all explored in this 59-minute documentary. Significant for their engineering and nautical ingenuity as well as for their transport of tourists, immigrants, and soldiers, superliners were made obsolete by air travel, popularized during the mid-1960s. The interviews with crew members and passengers make for a nostalgic portrait of life aboard a liner on the high seas. 60 minutes.

The Columbus Blue Jackets confirmed that they signed Gregory Campbell to a two-year deal today.
They didn’t provide the financial terms, but Sportsnet’s Chris Johnston reports that it’s worth $3 million overall (so a $1.5 million cap hit each season).
Hockey fans, writers and executives sometimes obsess about “character” – just watch some TV analysts discuss the Phil Kessel trade to soak in such talk to your heart’s content – and Campbell is generally regarded as a heart-and-soul guy.
He’s not going to light up the scoreboard (six goals and 12 points in 70 games with the Boston Bruins in 2014-15), but Campbell brings hustle and grit – not to mention hits – to the table.
He also fits the general theme of the Blue Jackets team as a relentless bunch. Back in March 2014, Ryan Johansen made a positive comparison between Columbus’ roster and “rats,” and Campbell would likely add another layer of greasy resilience to that group.
Campbell, 31, isn’t going to be a make-or-break type presence, yet he might be the kind of grinding force who could conceivably wear down other teams if the Blue Jackets are dangerous in 2015-16. | 2019-04-24T09:49:45 | https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2015/07/01/columbus-character-blue-jackets-ink-gregory-campbell/ |
In computing, a persistent data structure or immutable persistance is a data structure that always preserves the previous version of itself when it is modified. Such data structures are effectively immutable, as their operations do not (visibly) update the structure in-place, but instead always yield a new updated structure.
A data structure is partially persistent if all versions can be accessed but only the newest version can be modified. The data structure is fully persistent if every version can be both accessed and modified.
If there is also a meld or merge operation that can create a new version from two previous versions, the data structure is called confluently persistent. Structures that are not persistent are called ephemeral.
These types of data structures are particularly common in logical and functional programming, and in a purely functional program all data is immutable, so all data structures are automatically fully persistent. Persistent data structures can also be created using in-place updating of data and these may, in general, use less time or storage space than their purely functional counterparts.
While persistence can be achieved by simple copying, this is inefficient in CPU and RAM usage, because most operations make only small changes to a data structure. A better method is to exploit the similarity between the new and old versions to share structure between them, such as using the same subtree in a number of tree structures.
However, because it rapidly becomes infeasible to determine how many previous versions share which parts of the structure, and because it is often desirable to discard old versions, this necessitates an environment with garbage collection.

This is the second mortgage product that we have been advised on by Tim Harrison. We are very pleased with his approach and confident that he will select the product most appropriate for our needs. I would highly recommend him to my colleagues, friends and family.
The Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee has decided to hold base rate at 0.5 per cent for the 32nd consecutive month and to hold quantitative easing at £275bn.
The last rate change was on March 5, 2009, when it was reduced from 1 per cent to 0.5 per cent. On the same day, the Bank of England initiated a £75bn quantitative easing programme.
The quantitative easing programme was increased to £200bn in November 2009 and then increased by £75bn to £275bn last month.
Minutes from the October meeting of the MPC showed all members voted for an additional £75bn of quantitative easing.
Kevin really did go beyond the call of duty for my complicated remortgage. He supported and advised me at all stages and I really could not have done it without him. I would definitely recommend his services at any opportunity. Thank you so much!
We have received first class service from Tim. Tim couldn’t do enough for us and was always at the end of the phone happy to respond to queries. Highly recommended. | 2019-04-20T17:03:19 | http://www.parkgate.net/2011/11/ |
Last week, a friend of mine came to church. She’d been a few times; I was glad to see her.
She sat behind my mom and me.
I couldn’t hear anyone talking; I wondered if anyone even raised their hand. My mom walked out of Church immediately after.
She was speaking to my friend.
I couldn’t hear the words exchanged afterward, but I wondered if my friend felt the same sensation I did during a similar conversation my mom and I had after I chose God.
Today, while walking to class, I listened to the Bible on audio.
As I walked, I came upon a barren tree, surrounded by golden leaves. It took my breath away.
Boom: Simon changed his destiny.
Because he followed Andrew to Jesus, because he was willing to take a chance, to see if this Christ was truly the Messiah, he changed the course of his life.
As soon as Simon came before Christ, He said “You are Simon son of John,” in other words, “Hello, I know exactly who you are.” Then, Jesus said, “You will be called Cephas,” in other words, “I’m calling you by a new name now, not a name given you by man, but by God.
Jesus called Peter by the name that embodied who He would become: the rock on which Jesus would build His Church.
For those of you who have found your identity, be like Andrew, and bring your brothers and sisters to Jesus to allow him to speak over them what you received yourself.
Go to Jesus. Your destiny awaits you.
*I shared the story about my friend (with her permission) because it reveals God’s heart. He speaks a new destiny over ALL of us; offers new life and purpose to ALL of us, continually. God is the same yesterday, today and forever, so the wisdom and desire of Christ to use us and transform us, is just as strong now as ever. Be encouraged in that. Ask for faith to believe that, and then pursue God. | 2019-04-20T06:11:28 | https://alexisreb.com/2014/12/03/destiny/ |
RUTHMANN STEIGER® TB 220. The TB 220 - a real “top seller“ in the RUTHMANNSTEIGER ® range – In the current model version, this access platform has several features that are unique, new and innovative for this equipment class and are the fulfilment of previously unfulfilled requirements of our customers. These advantages are reflected particularly in the horizontal-vertical jacking. All in all: 22.1 m working height, 14 m outreach with 100 kg cage load and many other typical RUTHMANN features, combined with the newest carrier chassis with a permissible total weight from 3.500 kg.
RUTHMANN STEIGER® TB 270 +. At Intermat in Paris RUTHMANN presented its STEIGER® model on a 3.5 t chassis– the one and only TB 270+. The + on the TB 270+ symbolizes a completely new development which combines all positive, time-tested RUTHMANN features that maximize performance on a 3.5 t chassis. The development was essential due to the new EURO 6 emission standards which will become mandatory in many European countries beginning autumn of 2015. Because EURO 6 vehicles are much heavier than those with the previous EURO 5 chassis, the overall weight of STEIGER® work platforms had to be reduced. RUTHMANN relied on its innovative steel fabrication techniques and design – including the multi-bevelled boom system and tower from the successful TBR 220 model – in order to achieve its goal. The TB 270+ is already EURO 6 compatible and can be mounted on the most up-to-date trucks in the 3.5 t category.
RUTHMANN STEIGER® 290. The TB 290 is the most powerful working platform mounted on truck in the 3.5 t segment with a sensational working height of 29 m. By constructive optimizations, the new TB 290 has 3° more levation angle of the telescopic system than the predecessor TB 270+.The result:2 m more working height; in addition, the truck can be set up and jacked extremely near to the object.
RUTHMANN STEIGER ® TBR 220. The TBR 220 has an incredible lateral reach of 16.4 m and features a working height of 22 m. This innovative model is the most efficient truck-mounted aerial work platform with movable jib (RÜSSEL®) in the 3.5 t category. The new TBR 220 features performance capabilities that had previously only been available in the 7.49 t truck category. With this new professional work platform, we have responded to the growing demand for increased customer benefits on light base vehicles. The TBR 220 is the perfect replacement for all older machines in the 22 m category.
RUTHMANN STEIGER® TBR 250. With a working height of almost 25 m, combined with a 16.5 m lateral outreach (at 100 kg basket load), the TBR 250 is simply the best performing truck mount with jib (RÜSSEL ®) in the 3.5 t-chassis category.
RUTHMANN STEIGER® T 170 . Equipment rental companies, municipalities, power utility companies, and infrastructure development companies need truck-mounted aerial work platforms that are as versatile as possible. RUTHMANN’s new STEIGER® T 170 is simply ideal. From street light, signal light, and overhead power line maintenance to tree-cutting/pruning assignments and installation work, the T 170 is able to tackle the diverse jobs without any degree of difficulty. With a total vehicle length of 7.48 m, height of 3.36 m and 3.6 m wheelbase, the T 170 is extremely compact in size. It features a working height of 17 m, lateral outreach of 12 m, and a circular range of motion (100 kg basket load). These features, coupled with the 185° movable jib (RÜSSEL®), provide maximum versatility and agility at the jobsite.
RUTHMANN STEIGER ® T 190. Municipalities, power companies, builders / contractors, and rental companies expect their STEIGER ® to be as versatile as possible. Diverse assignments include street light maintenance, tree cutting / pruning assignments, and installation work. Our RUTHMANN STEIGER ® T 190 is the perfect all-rounder that is able to perform a wide variety of different tasks. The T 190 has a working height of 19.0 m with a maximum lateral reach of 13.8 m, even at full -350kg- cage load capacity. The 185° swiveling range of the movable jib - RÜSSEL ® - provides maximum agility. Trees, buildings, and pipelines - cables are accessible in no time at all.
RUTHMANN STEIGER® T 230. This model is extremely versatile. It is the ideal truck mount for rental companies, municipalities, gardeners / landscapers, painters, and industrial cleaners. With its 23.00 m working height and impressive 18.10 m lateral reach at full cage load capacity -350 kg-, the T 230 is able to carry out any given assignment with utmost efficiency. In addition, the 7.49 t truck chassis on this model provides ample payload capacity. The T 230 can easily accommodate a container - box for extra tools and material.
RUTHMANN STEIGER® T 285. This model combines maximum performance data (28.5-metre working height and 21.1-metre lateral outreach) with compact vehicle dimensions (8.19 metres total vehicle length and 3.9 metres wheelbase). It can be mounted on a variety of different chassis from 7.49t and up.Rental companies, gardeners, landscapers, industrial cleaners, craftsmen, etc. will find this particular model especially interesting. The T 285 is easy to handle. The rigid turret, which always remains within the contours of the vehicle when pivoting, functions independently without any additional hydraulic mechanisms. Low maintenance is assured.he versatile boom system made of high-strength, fine-grained steel is the integral part of the STEIGER® T 285.
RUTHMANN STEIGER ® T 300. With this STEIGER® truck-mounted aerial work platform, we have now completed our T series. The T 300.1, mounted onto a 7.49 t chassis, features performance that is second to none. It has a 30 m working height and an enormous 21 m lateral reach. As on the structurally-identical T 330 and T 285 models, the integral part of the STEIGER ® T 300.1 is the multi-bevelled boom system made of ultra-high strength, fine-grained steel. This gives our new model maximum stability and top performance capabilities.
RUTHMANN STEIGER® T 330. When it comes to achieving maximum performance data in the 7.49 t (and up) truck-mounted aerial platform category, the RUTHMANN STEIGER ® T 330, with its sensational 33-metre working height and 21-metre lateral reach, is a top-performing world champion. This amazing STEIGER ® model now permits operators to perform tasks that could only be carried out by holders of (7.49 t and up) truck driver’s licences. It is easy to use and requires very little instruction time.Working heights and lateral reaches are not the only important features on the professional truck-mounted aerial platform. With a total vehicle length of only 8.79 metres and marginal 3.9-metre wheelbase, the RUTHMANN STEIGER ® T 330 is also very impressive in its basic position and easy to handle when working in congested urban areas.
RUTHMANN STEIGER® T 360. With the T 360, RUTHMANN provides customers a modern alternative in the 35 m truck-mounted aerial work platform category. It is the perfect replacement investment for competitor models that are nearing the end of their life cycles. There is currently no other leading truck-mounted work platform manufacturer that is able to offer a similar conceptual design with cutting-edge, state-of-the-art technical features. Due to its impressive performance parameters, RUTHMANN will also be able to win over new customers for this STEIGER® model. This all-rounder has outstanding performance capabilities. It features a 31 m lateral outreach and almost 360 degree circular range of motion (100 kg basket load). Compared to older STEIGER® models and competitor brands, T 360 operators now have a whopping 2.3 m of additional reach capacity at their disposal.
RUTHMANN HEIGHT performance-STEIGER ® T 380. With a 38 m working height and 31 m lateral reach, this smaller STEIGER ® model nicely rounds off RUTHMANNs internationally acclaimed series of large machinery. In comparison to other machinery of this class the T 380 provides 5 m of additional reach when working at the 34 m levell. This is the greatest benefit for customers and potential customers who are interested in acquiring a truck-mounted aerial work platform in the 35 m - 40 m working-height range. Models in the successful HEIGHT performance-series offer extraordinary performance capabilities when working up high and the STEIGER ® T 380 is no exception. It also features the unique, long upper boom with movable jib.
RUTHMANN HEIGHT performance-STEIGER® T 400. The new T 400 features an 40 m working height and 31 m outreach and has the same technical features and benefits as those found on the other exciting models in the HEIGHT performance-STEIGER ® series. These include the amazing long upper boom with its movable jib (RÜSSEL ®), the largest telescopic working cage in its category, and optional Lift-Up system for heavy and bulky items. The outriggers can be controlled from four different locations. In addition to the main control panel in the working cage, there is an auxiliary control panel on the chassis and two more control units at the rear of the vehicle. Models in the HEIGHT performance-series can be mounted on a great variety of chassis brands. Carrying out assignments below the surface is not a problem for any of these extremely versatile and innovative models.
RUTHMANN STEIGER ® T 460. The RUTHMANN STEIGER® T 460 is the first model of the new HEIGHT PERFORMANCE series. The STEIGER ® T 460 is a professional truck-mounted aerial platform with an impressive 46 m working height on a double-axle truck chassis. This innovative new model scores major points with its exceptional price-performance ratio, RUTHMANN technology and outstanding performance data.
RUTHMANN STEIGER® T 480. For the very first time, RUTHMANN presented its HEIGHT performance-innovation – the STEIGER® T 480 – in Paris, France. The greatest customer benefit of all is the amazing reach capacity above the 20 m working height level. RUTHMANN offers up to 3 m more at this height – the best reach capabilities on the market. This advantage is not limited to the new T 480 but is also available on all other models in the highly successful HEIGHT performance-series.The T 480 has all of the familiar benefits that have made the HEIGHT performance-series so popular. These include high-speed movements, a 600 kg work cage capacity, and a short vehicle length. The T 480 is just 9.76 m long – a dimension unparalleled in the industry.
RUTHMANN highflex STEIGER® T 510 HF. The picture shows the highflex STEIGER® T 510 HF - a further development of RUTHMANNs highly successful HEIGHT performance-STEIGER®. The revolutionary, world champion performance specifications are what make this STEIGER® model so special: 51 m working height combined with 33 m outreach, which - coupled with a 2-axle chassis – can be found nowhere else on the working platform market. Such performance data were previously possible only on a 3-axle chassis.
RUTHMANN STEIGER ® T 540. The RUTHMANN STEIGER ® T 540 is the second STEIGER® model in RUTHMANN’s HEIGHT performance-series. The boom concept of the T 540 is exactly the same as the one featured on the first HEIGHT performance-STEIGER ® T 460 model. It consists of an extended, telescoping, movable jib (RÜSSEL®). This system gives operators an additional 3 metres of reach when working on objects high up and opens up entirely new working area dimensions at the jobsite. This professional aerial work platform is mounted onto a 26-ton, triple-axle chassis. With its compact overall dimensions – total vehicle length of just 11.9 m and height of only 3.9 m – coupled with the fully-variable support mechanism, the T 540 is easily able to carry out assignments in cramped city conditions and congested areas. The enormous jack lift and permissible inclination of up to 2 degrees enable safe positioning and operation of the new T 540 in rough, uneven and sloping terrain.
RUTHMANN STEIGER ® T 570 HF. This model has celebrated its world premiere at the bauma 2016 in Munich, as well as the T 510 HF. The T 570 HF has a 57 m working height and 41 m lateral outreach. It offers the same benefits as the T 510 HF, but is designed for 3-axle truck chassis with a 26 t gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR).
RUTHMANN HEIGHT performance-STEIGER ® T 630. Our STEIGER® T 630 features an impressive 63 m working and 39 lateral reach. As with the other models in the HEIGHT performance-series (T 380, T 400, T460, T 540, T 720), the greatest customer benefit is the incredible reach capacity when working up high. The STEIGER ® T 630 provides 5 metres of additional reach, compared to previous work platforms in this platform category. It is also interesting to note that the weight of the STEIGER ® T 630 is less than 32,000 kg. Furthermore, its overall length is a compact 11.9 metres. It can therefore be driven on all roads throughout Europe without special permits or authorizations.
RUTHMANN highflex STEIGER® T 650 HF. The highflex STEIGER ® T 650 HF comes up with sensational 43 m lateral outreach (working height 65 m).
RUTHMANN HEIGHT performance-STEIGER® T 720. This model celebrates its world premiere at bauma 2013 in Munich, Germany. With its 72 m working height and 38 m lateral reach, this STEIGER® features outstanding performance data. The boom concept of the T 720 is exactly the same as the one featured on the first HEIGHT performance-STEIGER® T 460 and T 540 models. It consists of an extended, telescoping, movable jib (RÜSSEL®) The advantages are clear. Compared to previous models in this class, operators now have an extra 5.5 m of upper boom length (nearly 20 m total reach) at their disposal.The movable jib (RÜSSEL®) has been extended by 2 m. Combined with the rotating/telescoping working cage work can now be carried out “behind” objects with the greatest degree of flexibility.
The illustration shows RUTHMANN’s highflex STEIGER ® T 750 HF – a further development of RUTHMANN’s very successful HEIGHT performance-STEIGER ®. It has a working height of 75 m, 41 m maximum lateral outreach.
SKY performance RUTHMANN STEIGER® T 900 HF. At Intermat in Paris (April 2018) RUTHMANN will present the Sky performance STEIGER® T 900 HF. This STEIGER ® innovation will have a 90 m working height and will be mounted onto a standard 5-axle truck chassis with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) from 48 - 52 t.
RUTHMANN STEIGER® TU 285. Our CITY-STEIGER ® was designed and developed with customers in mind. With its state-of-the-art technology, the TU 285 is also the perfect replacement investment. The STEIGER ® TU 285 features a 28.5 m working height and 20.5 m lateral reach. With an overall length of just 6.96 m and height of only 3.69 m, this innovative new model is extremely compact in size. With the fully redesigned upper boom and its “hanging jib”, objects can be approached with utmost sensitivity and accuracy. | 2019-04-20T00:45:31 | https://en.ruthmann.de/press-centre/steiger-picture-gallery |

Abstract : It is now widely believed among philosophers and logicians that ordinary English contains plural terms that may refer to several things at once. But are there terms that stand to ordinary plural terms the way ordinary plural terms stand to singular terms? Let's call such terms superplural. A superplural term would thus, loosely speaking, refer to several “pluralities” at once. It is reasonably straightforward to devise a formal logic of superplural terms, superplural predicates, and even superplural quantifiers (Rayo 2006). But does this formal logic reflect any features of natural languages? In particular, does ordinary English contain superplural terms and predicates? The purpose of this note is to address these questions. We examine some earlier arguments for the existence of superplural expressions in English, and find these arguments to be either inconclusive or not sufficiently far-reaching. Then we present some better examples of the superplural in ordinary English. | 2019-04-24T04:00:08 | https://jeannicod.ccsd.cnrs.fr/ijn_00175619v3 |

As long as you have a relatively recent smartphone or tablet running Android or iOS, you can get up and running making mobile NBA bets in no time. NBA teams play 82 games in the regular season which works out to roughly three games per week for half the year. It is made up of 30 teams: We have tested and reviewed all the best online sites for NBA betting. All our recommended online gambling casinos are safe and secure to ensure a pleasurable and successful experience to all.
Although NBA online betting is exciting and thrilling, we strongly suggest that all gamblers bet responsibly and within limit.
Picking bets that suit your budget rather than the ones that look profitable is the safest way to stay in line. Betting on an NBA game is simple. Then choose the type of bet you want to place, the game and the team you want to bet on. Place your bet and hope for a positive outcome. All our sites are safe and secure, offer a variety of betting options and an incredible set of bonuses and promotions.
However, there are a few differences such as the clock, the distances, quarters vs halves, the amount of fouls, ball possession, and defense. A lot of unexpected events can happen in NBA League but by analyzing the teams, you will gain the best chance of your bet being successful. Our reviews and guides are used by more than , players worldwide every year. We put gambling sites through a solid reviews process that can sign off on all aspects of security, banking, software and games.

At BetOnline, our company's guiding principle is to establish long-lasting, positive relationships with our customers and within the online gaming community.
We believe this goal is. Do not show this message again. Better than a bookmark! The fastest, most reliable way to get to BetOnline: The year started off with the ersatz boxing match between Chris Brown and Soulja Boy NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has grown tired of the new trend of teams resting star players for nationally televised games. In this season most teams will go through periods of playing three games in three nights, this especially affects older squads.
Some teams may feed off their home crowd especially well and have a great record at home. However, on the road, they struggle.
It also should be noted that generally, bench players are most affected when you compare home and road splits. Educate yourself before making a play on how your team reacts to the arena they are playing in. Occasionally, NBA teams will lose focus at certain points during a long season and bettors will need to capitalize on this.
So beware of overvaluing a trend. This is often the case with totals; a trend might tell you Golden State and Phoenix have gone over the total the last five times the two teams have played. Props can be very profitable for some NBA Bettors. Often times, prop lines will differ from bookmaker to bookmaker, offering value to those who can spot a weakness in a line.
Finding the best price with a prop bet you feel has an edge can be a very solid bet. Historically some players have shot extremely well in certain Arenas or against certain teams. Again, this is an example of a trend, so take it for what it is worth.

Description-Abstract This book presents an overview of the diagnostic performance of non- or semi-invasive tests for endometriosis in peripheral blood, endometrium, saliva, peritoneal fluid and urine. The value of existing and emerging systems biology technologies for biomarker development is addressed in several chapters on genetics, microarrays, proteomics and metabolomics. Although tests with high sensitivity and acceptable specificity have been developed, sometimes validated in independent populations and seem promising, more research is needed to translate these data into clinical benefit for patients and coordinate efforts internationally to standarize analysis, reports and operating procedures. The gold standard to diagnose endometriosis is currently through laparoscopic inspection with histological confirmation, a surgical procedure with rare but significant potential risks for the patients. A non-invasive test for endometriosis would be critical for the early detection of endometriosis of symptomatic women with pelvic pain and/or subfertility with normal ultrasound. This would include nearly all cases of minimal-mild endometriosis, some cases of moderate-severe endometriosis without a clearly visible ovarian endometrioma and cases with pelvic adhesions and/or other pelvic pathology, who might benefit from surgery to improve pelvic pain and/or subfertility. Such a test would also be useful in symptomatic women with ultrasound imaging suspicious for endometriosis, since it may be difficult to differentiate an ovarian endometrioma from other ovarian cysts and since the quality of ultrasound imaging is highly variable worldwide. | 2019-04-23T14:17:32 | http://203.131.219.242/cdm/ref/collection/ebooks/id/711/ |
THE RM-Z250 RECEIVED a complete overhaul this year (but not a starter motor), following the redesign seen on the RM-Z450 last year. Fortunately, the mellow-yellow machine is not so mellow anymore. The Suzuki showed massive improvement over the previous model, particularly in the engine. The new twin injectors, along with a redesigned cylinder head and new intake camshaft, gives the bike extra pull from the mid-range.
The 250 hasn’t received the Showa BFRC shock of its big brother but the KYB fork has changed. The old PSF2 air fork has been replaced by a more traditional 48mm KYB spring-cartridge unit similar to what’s been on Yamahas for years. It’s better than the air fork and provides a plusher ride.
However, the RM-Z250 was tricky to get settled. The suspension works well but it is held back by a rigid chassis that works better when the track is smooth. Suzuki claims to have increased the torsional rigidity of the frame by 10 per cent but our test riders weren’t convinced it was the right move.
The rougher the track got the more we struggled with the Suzuki set up and really started to have to change our lines. Our riders tried a bunch of different suspension settings in an attempt to smooth out the twitchiness, with most ending up having to go noticeably softer on the fork. | 2019-04-19T18:21:56 | http://bikersgaragekenya.com/xipblog/post/2_suzuki-rm-z250.html?page_type=post |

This vehicle was registered in February 1972 meaning it may be one of the last 650 pickups and vans produced.
The pickup was fully restored in the original Aqua colour, from the chassis up in 2009 and has had very little use since then.
It has always been garaged and has lots of old MOTS (with current MOT issued in May 2018), old Tax Discs and invoices available together with a genuine Driver’s handbook.
A recent freshen up with poly-bushed front end, engine service, paintwork, a good canvas tilt and fully painted underside mean that this is now a very clean and useable little truck. | 2019-04-25T17:58:46 | https://classicmoto.rs/de/util/austin-6cwt-pickup-1972-bznKSB.html |

India is a diverse country, a popular tourist destination and the land of wide indifferences, has always been vulnerable to terrorist activities for a long time. Not only does terrorism claim the lives of several hundred, more importantly, but it also hampers the smooth functioning of the country's economy for a larger period of time. This article studies the direct negative relationship of tourism associated with terrorism as an immediate aftermath of these gruesome activities.
Terrorism In India: Terrorist activities have taken place in almost all states of India till date. The Annex of Statistical Information, Country Reports on Terrorism 2017 places India as the third highest country in the World with instances of terrorist activities. As a grave matter of fact, 59% of all worldwide attacks took place in five countries (Afghanistan, India, Iraq, Pakistan and the Philippines).
The report further goes on to tell that: "the total number of people killed in terrorist attacks increased 10% in 2017. More than half of the terrorist attacks in India in 2017 took place in three states: Jammu and Kashmir (25%), Chhattisgarh (15%), and West Bengal (10%). This geographic pattern reflects several key changes, in comparison to 2016: Jammu and Kashmir saw a 24 per cent increase in attacks in 2017 and an 89 per cent increase in the number of people killed in terrorist attacks. West Bengal saw a 215 per cent increase in attacks, from six in 2016 to 76 in 2017. Many of these attacks were arson attacks aimed at causing property damage, or bombings that caused relatively few casualties."
Tourism in India (An Overview): Tourism is one of the most flourishing industries in India. Being a land of cultures and traditions, India offers thousands of tourist destinations for relaxation, adventures, outing, and spiritual visits. India holds a lot of potential as a beautiful nation to attract a lot more foreign tourists and generate much more GDP through the improvement of this industry.
However, despite all these factors, India's share in International Tourism Receipts (US $ terms) accounts for 2.05% of the total amount. The following are some statistical data and graphical representation of tourism in India from the annual report- “INDIA TOURISM STATISTICS AT A GLANCE 2018”.
The widely infamous 26/11 Mumbai Attacks were a series of 12 coordinated shooting and bombing attacks carried out by 10 members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, which lasted for 4 days. The attacks took place mostly in South Mumbai at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, The Oberoi Trident, The Taj Palace & Tower, Leopold Café, Cama Hospital, The Nariman House and the Metro Cinema. The attacks being aimed mostly at foreign tourists took place at popular hotels, café and hospital. It is reported that 166 people were killed and over 300 were wounded in this attack.
While there were a lot more casualties suffered by Indians, as can be seen from the data, quite a few foreign tourists too were affected by the attacks. Foreigners suffered lower than Indians both in terms of deaths and injuries. However, the incident weakened the tourism industry of India in one big blow.
After the attacks took place, there have had been some really saddening restrictions on tourist spots. For example, the much famous Elephanta festival was stopped for 9 years due to security concerns.
As can be seen from the table above, the states are ranked on the basis of the tourist inflow. Now we study the ranks of the states across a time series. The variance column helps us to identify the change in the ranks of the state in that year as compared to 2016. In other words, it points out if ranks have increased or decreased in relation to 2016.
What is important to note from this data is that the rank of Maharashtra was significantly low in 2011 signifying that tourism had not stabilized quite so much. However, after that period, it kept improving as there were no major terrorist activities notable to hamper tourism.
The Amarnath Yatra attacks & Insurgencies in J&K: The Amarnath cave is a Hindu shrine located in Jammu and Kashmir which attracts hundreds of devotees each year. This place has been a target of notorious terrorist activities quite a few times in the past. The pilgrimage was banned from 1991 to 1995 due to threats from terrorists. There followed the ‘2000 pilgrimage massacre' which claimed lives of 32 people who were on their way to Amarnath. Then there took place the 2001 and 2002 terrorist-attack massacres and the mishap of 2006 during which, fortunately, there were no casualties. It seemed as if the attacks had stopped for quite some time until the 2017 attacks hit again.
We take a time series data to analyze the trend of tourist inflow to Amarnath caves and try to relate it to the mishaps caused.
Directly from the data, it can be interpreted that tourist inflow has been quite irregular and has quite a lot of peaks and troughs. Stagnation in tourist visits was observed from 2001-2003. Also, there has been a considerable dip was noted after 2006 till 2008. Although beyond that, there was an absolute increase in the number of tourists, spikes were sharp and noteworthy. As can be easily linked, all the downfalls in tourist visits followed shortly after terrorist attacks and political unrest.
The following is the chart representing the fatalities in Jammu and Kashmir due to terrorist activities from 1990-2018.
Correlation coefficient: -0.944720163, i.e. there is a very strong negative correlation between the variables, which means that tourism in Jammu and Kashmir increases with a decrease in terrorist activities.
Conclusion: The empirical study shows that there is a direct negative relationship between tourism and terrorism. With this proven, it is really high time that India should focus on stabilizing political instabilities if it aims to generate more revenue from the flourishing tourism industry.

Minnesota birth rates are at their lowest level since 2002. Officials say the economic recession has convinced more couples to delay having children.
The number of teen pregnancies in the U.S. reached its lowest point on record in 2010. In fact, the CDC reports births by mothers of all ages dropped for the third straight year. Minnesota had the 8th lowest rate per 1,000 teenage girls.
5.4 percent of Minnesota mortgage holders were behind by at least one payment during the third quarter. That's almost a full percentage point lower than during the same period last year. It's also one of the lowest delinquency rates among the states.
The state's unemployment rate fell half a percentage point in October, despite employers shedding jobs. “Minnesota’s unemployment rate is at its lowest level since the U.S. financial crisis in November 2008,” said DEED Commissioner Mark Phillips in a news release.
A new report from Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota shows childhood obesity is on the rise with nearly one in four Minnesota children overweight or obese, KARE 11 reports.

I'm going! The boyfriend and I already have a room we're sharing with his ex-girlfriend and her husband and wife. So that will be weird but hopefully we won't be in our rooms much. I was going to attempt a costume but circumstances have conspired against me having any time to work on one. So I guess I'll just work on getting my belly ready.
I don't mean to derail, but your boyfriends ex with her husband AND WIFE? Am I missing something? Or is that one lucky dude.
Yes, I said her husband and wife. It may not exactly be legal but it works for them.
I'll be at D*C too! But nobody will want to draw on my belly. Ew.
A bunch of slightly-overweight guys with moderately-hairy bellies need to show up at Pete's booth and demand signatures. Bwahahahaha!!!
I don't think I can go. Don't have the money, or the time.
see my location .... sigh.
Still my Megatome 1 should be arriving soon so I'll drink beer while I open it and pretend I'm at the con or something.
Mine isn't a hell of a lot better. At least I'm a hop and a skip from Europe. You are in god knows where.
I'm going! It will be my first con ever. Going to be fun.
On a side note, is Pete listed on the dragon con homepage? I don't see him anywhere.
Thanks, I didn't realize there was a bigger list hidden behind another link.
Not only will I be there, but right now, I'm going to be sleeping in some unwitting merchant's booth if plans don't change. If anyone's looking for someone to split lodging costs--either on a new room, or just one more person to bring into the one you've got--por favor, send me a PM. I don't snore, I'll take the cot and still pay a full share of the cost, and I won't gripe about what you watch on TV (though I maintain that the occasional snarky comment isn't out). | 2019-04-24T04:46:04 | http://forums.sluggy.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8854 |
The Parish Council serves as an advisory group to the Pastor. It helps to provide direction for the spiritual life, ministry priorities, broad goals, strategic planning, and policy making of St. Mark Parish. The Council is also a liaison between the parishioners, all the ministries including James Collins Catholic School, and the pastor and staff.
The work of the Council focuses on planning, developing, and implementing a Pastoral Plan to carry out the parish’s Vision and Mission. The Parish Council is an important resource in achieving full and inclusive participation of the whole parish in the ministries and activities of the Parish.
These are the following members of the Parish Council. | 2019-04-20T22:08:59 | https://iccorsicana.org/pastoral-council |
Think how much more ordinary this home would appear without the deep taupe color in the foyer. When you arrive you enter a compressed area — an area of calm and enclosure that marks a resting point in your trip from the street up the walk to the home. The white trim and artwork help animate the deep tone. But the foyer is only a pause in your journey, not its completion. You are drawn toward the lighter tones in the living room (and even lighter tones in the dining room in the background). The living room — a lighter grayed-taupe — is almost creamy against the deep tone. Contract — in color or tone — is an effective way to emphasize the purpose of spaces and the natural journey through a home. Using a deep, contrasting tone in the entry is a technique I often employ in selecting a home’s palette. In this home, my client wanted a feeling of serenity and calm and was partial to beige — and in fact had used it throughout the home previously. I chose more complex tones of taupe and greatly varied the tone from room to room adding a creamy yellow in areas with more sunlight. In this article, I’ll show you 6 different examples of how effectively this technique works in creating a sense of arrival and journey through your home.
In the example, above, the foyer was a quite large room complete with stone fireplace. I used a deep, grayed-green for the foyer itself with a much lighter grayed-green with a touch of yellow in the living room (foreground) and a still lighter gray-green with a touch of blue in the family room (background). I left the deepest tone (a deep wine color) for the small transition between the foyer and family room and again between the mud entrance and the kitchen (not shown). The deep wine transition to the family room creates a subtle message to visitors that the space beyond is private family space and visitors are instead drawn to the closer brighter area of the living room.
For the entry of this next home, the client wanted more light and we couldn’t use a skylight. So I chose a light taupe for the walls to create a lighter space and instead I selected a single wall — the wall leading to the private bedroom level of this split-level — to create a striking deep-charcoal accent. In this quite modern remodel, we used large-format porcelain tile for the charcoal accent. The accent would be almost as effective using a deep paint tone. And, in fact, we first painted the wall a deep charcoal so that I could demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique to the homeowner prior to investing in the cost of the tile. Since the main entryway color is light, I used a reverse technique to welcome visitors into the living room; In the living room I used a darker tone of the hallway color (see below). Like in the second example, the dark charcoal is a gentle, unspoken message that the main way lies in a different direction. The living room presents a more even use of tones and therefore is more soothing than the stark color contrasts in the entryway.
As in many modest older homes, the home, below, lacks a distinct entryway. Even in these cases, a deep, contrast can still make sense. In this case, I’m differentiating the passageways — up the stairs, toward the powder room and coat closet — as clearly subordinate to the much brighter living room. The living room’s plaster walls (not shown in this photo) are a soft mauve color that coordinates with the deep mauve of the secondary spaces. If woodwork in a house is going to be painted, I always paint it the same color — usually a cool or warm white depending upon the palette. As shown here, I also mix painted and stained wood in a home. As discussed in the previous article about this stairway (link), I also frequently paint the risers of a stairway as an inexpensive way to increase their architectural detail and interest.
When the main palette contains very deep tones, like this basement media room, below (see article), I will often use a contracting light tone in the entryway. In this case, I bring a slightly deeper tone of the yellow from the kitchen down the stairs into the basement. I also use a mixed slate palette with light reflective tones in the backsplash of the kitchenette. The yellow, tans and grey of the slate and entry wall contrast beautifully with the deep charcoal of the walls and grey ceiling. The reverse approach has the same effect of a transition in your journey and a welcome to a cozy, intimate space to relax.

In the recent decision of Vacco v. Quill, and Washington State v. Glucksberg, groups of physicians and patients petitioned the United States Supreme Court to determine if New York and Washington statutes prohibiting physician-assisted suicide violated the United States constitution. These doctors and patients asserted that the ban on physician-assisted suicide violated the equal protection and due process clauses of the federal constitution. They argued that most states had recognized a right of physicians to withdraw treatment from patients, and that such withdrawal would eventually lead to the patient's death. However, patients were being denied the right to have doctors assist in their death by prescribing medication to hasten death. This, they claimed, was a denial of these patients' constitutional rights.
In the New York case, The Second Circuit Court of Appeals had agreed with the patients and determined that terminating life-saving medical treatment is nothing more nor less than assisted suicide. In its decision, however, the Supreme Court of the United States disagreed with the Second Circuit. The Supreme Court stated that the distinction between letting a patient die and making that patient die is important, logical, rational, and well-established and that it comports with fundamental legal principles of causation. The court noted that this distinction has been widely recognized and endorsed by the medical profession, state courts, and the overwhelming majority of state legislatures which have permitted the withdrawal of life-saving treatment but prohibited the prescribing of medication to bring about death. The Supreme Court held that there is a distinction between the withdrawal of treatment and letting a patient die from an underlying illness, versus the prescription of medications to bring about a patient's death. The Court noted that causation has long been an element of concern in American law and legal principles. In discussing the differences in causation and intent, the U.S. Supreme Court stated that when a patient refuses life-sustaining medical treatment, he dies from an underlying fatal disease but if a patient takes lethal medication prescribed by a physician, his death is caused by that medication. The Court went on to state that the same distinction holds true when a doctor provides aggressive palliative care. In some cases the Court stated the pain-killing drugs may hasten a patient's death, but the physician's purpose and intent is only to ease his patient's pain. The Court distinguished this from the situation where a doctor who assists a suicide must necessarily and intentionally bring about the patient’s death by prescribing medication to do so. Therefore, the Court stated that there is a rational distinction between the states allowing the withdrawal of medical treatment that a patient no longer wishes to undergo, as opposed to a patient requesting a physician to prescribe medications to cause the patient's death.
In the Washington State case, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that the Constitution encompasses a liberty interest in controlling the time and manner of one’s death.” Therefore, the Appeals Court concluded that Washington’s ban on physician assisted suicide was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court disagreed and determined that there is not a constitutionally protected right to commit suicide. The concerns expressed by Washington and other states about allowing patients to commit suicide were found to be both important and legitimate. Therefore, the enactment of statutes prohibiting physician assisted suicide did not violate a patient’s federally protected due process rights.
This decision by the Supreme Court is not really a surprise to those involved in the legal-medical professions. First of all, the current Court is inclined to allow states to resolve these issues on their own without mandates from the federal government. This ruling is consistent with that philosophy in that it allows states to enact legislation that would prohibit physician assisted suicide by physicians. Secondly, there is a strong sense within the medical profession that physician-assisted suicide should be prohibited. The American Medical Association and a number of other amicus briefs were submitted on behalf of this proposition. Finally, states have long been afforded the authority to regulate professional activities, particularly professions that have a direct and immediate impact upon the citizenry of a state. By having licensure authority over doctors and lawyers and other professions, a state can regulate the manner in which they practice to ensure that it is consistent with the overall goals and objectives of society. The regulation of these practices has for the most part been left to the jurisdiction of the state governments.
Presumably, these decisions would not prohibit a state from permitting and regulating physician assisted suicide. As Justice Rehnquist stated in the Glucksberg opinion: “Throughout the nation, Americans are engaged in an earnest and profound debate about the morality, legality and practicality of physician assisted suicide. Our holding permits this debate to continue, as it should in a democratic society.” Thus the debate will not cease, but is likely to intensify in the arena of state legislatures. For states are now free to enact different approaches to this difficult issue, approaches which will hopefully mirror the values and beliefs of its citizens. | 2019-04-23T04:39:32 | http://www.reardonlawllc.com/podcast---physician-assisted-suicide--august-1997-.html |

At the time, I responded briefly but it has been playing on my mind and I’ve been giving it a lot more thought. As a group, are we really that negative? Do we struggle with change? No, I don’t think so. I think quite the opposite is true.
The families I come across are resourceful, positive, have a real “can-do” attitude and are resilient to change and uncertainty. In reality, you probably deal better with change than most people I know.
I do, however, think morale is a real problem at the moment and this is linked to change – not because we struggle with it, but because we have had so much of it lately.
There is a difference between chosen change and forced change and I think it is the latter that has affected many of you. There have been changes to pay, pension and Service Families Accommodation rates and now we are facing further seismic changes to our lives through the potential implementation of the Future Accommodation Model (FAM).
Many of you who approach us feel that the terms and conditions that you and your soldier originally signed up to have changed significantly and the “offer” has been eroded. This is certainly what we pick up from your concerns.
Whether the offer has been eroded or not is almost irrelevant. You are feeling that your way of life is vulnerable and, as a result, some of you have lost faith and are now critical of anything that is being communicated by the Army or MOD.
How do we raise morale again? Well, I think a lot of the problem is the way in which families are communicated with ñ or not, as is often the case.
The negative feelings have come from not being included or consulted properly. I have asked the MOD and the Army for improved, honest communication with you. I have asked that your views are really listened to and taken into consideration prior to decisions being made – all fairly straightforward requests.
The MOD and the Army have responded positively to these concerns and I think we must give them a chance to show that they are willing and able to try.
I’m really pleased that in this edition we have an interview with DPers General Rob Nitsch, who has overall responsibility for all personnel issues in the Army. We used this interview as an opportunity to ask him some of your questions that you submitted via social media.
We’ll continue to push for more effective communication and consideration and I encourage you to get in touch ([email protected]) if there’s anything we can do to help you raise your morale. | 2019-04-19T23:19:20 | http://armyandyou.co.uk/effective-communication/ |

If you want more power and efficiency from your diesel, you don’t even have to make any alterations to the engine itself. A diesel power tuning box is an Electronic Control Unit that attaches to your truck’s ECU (Engine Control Unit). The ECU monitors fuel injection and lets your engine know exactly how much fuel to put in at each speed and setting. Once the box is hooked up, it re-maps the communication between the ECU and the engine, unlocking that hidden power and performance.
Another option to installing a power tuning box is to reconfigure your vehicle’s ECU to make permanent changes to the system. However, compared to reconfiguring the ECU, it is more cost-effective to install a power tuning box. The software included on the box can be adjusted to fit your engine specifically. Essentially, it adjusts to the specifics of your engine without the need to change the unit itself.
A diesel power tuning box is not difficult to install. Almost immediately, you will notice less lag time, better speed, and improved torque. It’s equally as easy to uninstall as it is to put in. Restoring the vehicle to stock is as simple as removing the device from the vehicle. This is why many choose this option over re-configuring the ECU, which is permanent.
There can be dangers to these modifications, however. Your vehicle becomes vulnerable to whatever device or tune you decide to use. There are plenty of “scam” chips on the market, so choosing a genuine performance chip is imperative. It is important to carefully select which device you connect to the vehicle. Here at Wicked Diesel, our experts will work with you to make sure you are getting the best possible setup for you vehicle. Stop by or give us a call at 540-587-3796 with any questions about performance tuning for your vehicle. | 2019-04-22T20:23:16 | http://www.wickeddieselva.com/get-the-most-out-of-your-engine-with-diesel-power-tuning/ |
Since I was away in Ukraine acting as an International Observer for the 26Mar2006 parliamentary elections and then visiting relatives in the Kolomyia region of the Carpathian Mountains for three weeks in April, a GRC Report for April 2006 was not issued. I expect to write and distribute reports on the elections and other issues in Ukraine separately.
(1) Citizenship Revocation: In a letter dated 14Mar2006, Andrew Telegdi urges the new Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, Monte Solberg, to table legislation to correct the flaws in the current citizenship revocation process as recommended in the 10th Report of the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration dated 07Jun2005.
(2) UKAR: On 15 March 2006, Dr. Lubomyr Prytulak removed his Ukrainian Archive website from the Internet. Dr. Prytulak explains that he has negotiated a non-aggression pact with the Canadian Jewish Congress, whereby they withdraw their complaint to the Canadian Human Rights Commission and he removes objected-to material from the Internet. As the objected-to material constitutes only a small proportion of UKAR, he is free under the agreement to leave most of UKAR up, but decided to remove the entire site so as to leave himself unencumbered and undistracted to pursue other interests. The agreement leaves him free to put all of UKAR back on the Internet in case he comes under attack for his views.
As I have indicated previously, I have a very high regard for Lubomyr Prytulak and am very sorry that UKAR is no longer available on the Internet, since it provided a wealth of information countering defamation of Ukrainians and Ukraine. It is a huge loss to the Ukrainian community.
It is understandable that Dr. Prytulak would get tired -- tired of the never-ending litigation and tired of working for Ukrainians with no recognition, no moral support, no financial support. He deserves a good rest -- and our thanks.
(3) Josef Furman and Jura Skomatchuk cases: Despite the illegitimacy of the citizenship revocation process outlined in item (1) above, the Department of Justice and the Federal Court of Canada under the direction of Chief Justice Allan Lutfy are proceeding full speed ahead on these d&d cases.
- On Mar. 22, 2006, the Plaintiff delivered to the Court (in Ottawa?) 7 boxes of documents to be used in the June 05, 2006 trial.
1. An agreed Statement of Facts in respect of Court File T-560-04 (Defendant Furman) is to be filed with the Court no later than Friday, May 05, 2006.
2. A Joint Book of Authorities is to be filed prior to the commencement of the hearing of this matter on Monday, June 05, 2006.
3. Expert Reports are to be filed in hard copy and in electronic format, with the Court on or before Friday, April 28, 2006.
(d) Oral submissions of the parties will be heard immediately following the completion of the testimony and cross-examination of Mr. Tuchel.
(b) The testimony of Mr. Owens will be heard in Ottawa, Ontario on a date to be determined.
(c) an estimate of the time required for cross-examination.
- On April 26, 2006, Expert Reports were filed for the Defendant in Toronto for both cases. | 2019-04-25T13:49:58 | http://willzuzak.ca/cl/grc/zuzak20060503GRC.html |

Most of the ads for Google Pixel have "Only on Verizon" tagline, but it is not simply true. The phone also works on AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint. Now, here's how you can get an unlocked version of Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL.
Google Pixel's ads mean Verizon is the only carrier that can sell the phone, and buyers can't get it on AT&T or Sprint store. However, they can pre-order a Pixel online through Google Store and use it on any major carrier, as per report from CNET.
It is fairly easy to get Google's new smartphone. Just visit Google's official website, select a model, and choose a payment plan. The full price of 32GB Pixel is $649. For installment, Google offers $24.04/month plan for 24 months. Interestingly, pre-orderers can also get a free $79 Daydream View virtual reality headset.
As we said earlier, the Pixel or Pixel XL from Google's website is unlocked, and that means it is usable on a wide variety of carriers.
For Verizon subscribers, the mobile carrier is offering up to $300 trade-in value for following phones: LG V10, LG G4, Galaxy S6 Edge or Edge+, Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, or HTC M9. For installment plan, its financing is $24.08/month for 24 months.
As for the specs of the Pixel, expect it to have top-of-the-line features. Inside, it is powered by Snapdragon 821 processor clocked at 2.51GHz. It is also equipped with 4GB of RAM, and a choice of 32GB or 128GB storage.
According to The Verge, the Pixel's 12-megapixel front camera is described as the best camera in any smartphone. It offers innovative features like exposure compensation and white balance control. In addition, it uses Google's new artificial intelligence to capture the clearest, best shot. The camera also uses HDR+ by default to snap high-quality images.
Aside from impressive camera, the Pixel has advanced digital assistant that is better than Siri and Alexa. The new Google Assistant is one of the phone's killer features. It is more contextually aware to what is happening on user's devices. Plus, it can give in-depth information to users.
It is also worth mentioning that the Pixel comes with pre-installed Android Nougat right out of the box. Nougat is Google's latest operating system for mobile gadgets.
With that being said, The Google Pixel and Pixel XL are now available for preorder and will hit stores on October 20. | 2019-04-20T14:28:53 | https://www.gospelherald.com/articles/67313/20161016/google-pixel-xl-pre-order-pricing-verizon-sprint-att-tmobile.htm |
NEW ORLEANS, LA [January 14, 2019] – Someone needs blood every two seconds in the U.S. It is estimated that 95% of the population will use blood or a blood component by the age of 75, yet less than 5% of the eligible population actually donates.
Piazza Seafood will host its first ever blood drive on Monday, January 21 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the bloodmobile in front of Piazza Seafood, 1201 Sams Ave. The public is invited to donate and help the community out in this critical time of need. The seafood wholesaler and distributor will be giving all eligible donors 1lb of Papa Piazza Brand Shrimp, and The Blood Center will allow donors to select a T-Shirt, Family Blood Coverage or Heart Club.
Blood supply is often lower in the winter months as donations decrease with the hustle and bustle of the holidays, traveling, and inclement weather. Low blood donations result in a critically low supply while the need for blood and blood components remains constant.
Piazza Seafood is a local, family business that prides itself on core values. Those core values lead the way both in their operations, and their desire to help the community.
“Anytime a choice can save a life, we have a responsibility to take action,” expresses Nick Piazza, Shareholder and VP of Sales.
The Piazza family has been in the seafood business since the late 1800s. Piazza himself has followed suit, being involved in the family business since an early age. His father, Mr. Vincent Piazza, Jr. opened a small warehouse in 1988, which Piazza and brother, Bryan now actively run. Piazza Seafood has grown to serve thousands of wholesalers and individuals in the southern Louisiana, Mississippi, and Gulf Coast areas.
If you would like to sign up for the blood drive, please visit https://www.tbcdonors.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/36575.

At college campuses throughout the country this month, new graduates are throwing their hats in the air. The jubilation is followed by the reality that when their hats fall back to the earth — Splat! — student loan payments will soon come due.
As a recent graduate, how can you manage federal student loan payments while job hunting or working entry-level positions?
Everyone gets six months before federal student loans are due to decide which payment plan is right for them.
You must start repaying your loans after six months. But if you have difficulty doing so, there are plenty of options to defer payments for months, or even years.
And contrary to what many graduates think, high student loan debt will not eliminate your eligibility for mortgages or car loans. Creditors generally care more about your student loan payment amounts compared to your income — not the total amount of your debt. This is unlike credit cards where how close you are to your limit will greatly affect your credit score.
There are three main types of repayment plans: standard repayment, consolidation, and income-based repayment (IBR).
The standard repayment plan is the default option you enrolled in unless you request one of the others. You pay off your loans in ten years, but to meet that shorter payoff time, your payments are higher than what you could pay with a consolidation loan or IBR.
With a consolidation loan, your loan servicer combines all your loans into one single loan, with an extended repayment period of generally 15 to 30 years —depending on the amount you owe. For instance, my $60,000 in student loan debt has a 30-year repayment term, while my friend who owes $35,000 must repay his loans in 20 years. The positive side to consolidation is that you have just one, smaller loan payment to take care of each month.
Lower payments are among the most attractive features of IBR plans: your monthly payment cannot be higher than it would be on the standard ten-year repayment plan. And if you haven’t paid off your federal student loans after 25 years, all your remaining debt is forgiven.
However, income-based repayment isn’t always the best option. Why? IBR generally works best if your adjusted gross income is low enough compared to your debt that your IBR payment would be lower than a consolidation loan payment. This can be tough to maintain since your income is likely to rise as you climb past entry-level positions.
For many grads, IBR will never work out. According to the National Association Colleges and Employers Salary Survey, the average starting salary offer for 2010 college graduates with Bachelor’s degrees is $47,503. The average undergraduate student loan debt load, meanwhile, is $23,118, according to the latest survey by the National Center for Education Statistics. An unmarried graduate with these income and debt amounts would likely be ineligible for income-based repayment.
Our graduate would likely have to owe around $31,500 plus to qualify for the income-based repayment (IBR) plan – and the payment would be over $100 more than the payment on a 20-year consolidated payment. However, if his student loan debt level was $100,000, IBR could be a great deal.
Recent legislation will widen the net for who benefits from income-based payment. New standards for income-based repayment cut the maximum repayment term to 20 years and lowers payment amounts. The caveat is the sweeter deal only applies for loans issued after July 1, 2014.
To find out what plan works best for you, enter your loan and income information into the various calculators on GraduationDebt.org.
If you get a job with the federal government or a non-profit business, you may be eligible for public service loan forgiveness. No matter what your education debt level or payment plan you choose, the remainder of your debt could be forgiven after 10 years – as long as you meet all requirements.
Having federal student loan debt doesn’t have to block any big decisions in your life. Finding the right repayment plan is the first step for budgeting in a way that is less stressful than finals.
