All 10 regional chairmen of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) have asked former president John Mahama to embark on a ‘Thank you tour’ to appreciate party loyalists for their support during the December 2016 polls.
They believe the tour, although belated, will help in the party’s reconciliatory and healing process.
Following the NDC’s defeat in the December 2016, there appear to be pockets of disgruntled members divided over who was responsible for the party’s defeat.
The National leadership of the party tasked a special Committee led by Prof. Kwesi Botchwey to tour the country to listen to concerns of party members after it was evident the many of the party’s supporters were not happy with the results of the election.
The party has also undertaken 3 Unity Walks in Accra, Tamale and Cape Coast as part of the healing process.
The 10 regional chairmen of the party, under whose leadership the party suffered the electoral defeat believe the former President’s “thank you tour” will help in such efforts to ensure peace and unity within the party ahead of the 2020 polls.
After a meeting with the former President on Thursday, the chairmen urged John Mahama to consider calls for him to contest the party’s primaries and represent it as flagbearer in the 2020 general elections. | 2019-04-24T03:51:01 | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/politics/Go-on-Thank-you-tour-NDC-chairmen-urge-Mahama-599107 |
What do fats have to do with weight loss?
Answer: You MUST eat fat to burn off body fat.
"Take fat from the diet", said your doctor.
In our health area, weight management is all about eating healthy fat and protein in generous quantities, and low intake of carbohydrates. Also, we encourage eating fruit and vegetables.
Carbs are not even needed to maintain good health. There are numerous traditional cultures, like the Masaii of Kenya, and the Eskimos of the north, who eat no carbohydrates at all unless they abandon their cultural heritage and join us insane Gringos and Anglo Saxons in the big city.
Though bread is well spoken of in the Bible, you must understand that Bible bread was NOT all all like the rubbish we have today, even the kind baked at home with organic ingredients. Much has changed in agriculture that causes grains to be nearly worthless.
1. Eat more fat, but only animal fat that is not hydrogenated, and eat more tropical fat. Add in some Mediterranean fats. Eating hydrogenated fat is suicide.
2. Drink raw milk, full fat content.
3. Cook at low temperatures, bake and broil. High heated fats are converted and are dangerous. There is no record of deep frying or high heat cooking in Bible times. Bible people either broiled or seethed (boiled) meat.
4. Eat lots of salt, potassium foods, and magnesium foods.
This author deals with all aspects of diet from the Bible. You will see that anyone who rejects meat and animal fat is refusing the food God gave us.
This is a Kindle book.
Buy from this link, and we get a commission, and you pay no more.
5. Eat vegetables that contain lots of vitamins, sodium nitrite (Google that), and eat part of them raw.
6. Get at least 20 minutes of full sun a day between 10 AM and 4 PM.
7. Any food product at the grocery store with ingredients you don't understand must be assumed to be bad for you. No MSG, high fructose corn syrup, soy products, or artificial sweeteners.
8. Cook in stainless steel or glass utensils, and avoid storing food of buying food contained in plastic or aluminum.
9. Assume that the FDA, National Institute of health, and Center of Disease Control are lying to you to the benefit of Big Pharma.
10. Drink water with no chlorine and fluoride in it.
11. If possible, move from the city to the country to escape the system, and grow your own food. You can usually find property with plenty of space for a garden if you move to the rural ring outside of a city and commute. You either drive to work, or you will later drive to chemo.
12. Exercise-- Not to look good, but to FEEL good and to get your blood pumping and your endocrine system moving.
13. Stop going to the doctor for "regular check ups." Doctors make lots of money by doing tests, talking about "bad numbers," and making you imagine you are sick. If you feel fit, live life, and let your neighbor make the doctor rich. Now, if you really ARE feeling bad, and it has lasted for some time, do go see the doctor.
Is this ominous? Too hard to pull it all off? Well, start down the list, and do these things one by one.
Take a look at Steve's page on chocolate please.
Dr. Michael R Eades, in the video, has an exceptional book on fat and health in general. We have read this book and recommend it.
VIDEO: THIS IS TECHNICAL STUFF FROM A HEART DOCTOR Send your doctor here if he claims you are a fool, or if he talks down to you as my VA doctor does.
If you cave in to the Federal propaganda about fat and carbs, and if you eat excess carbs that you do not burn off, YOU WILL WEAR THEM. If you eat excess fat, it is NOT stored. It is flushed, or you burn it, especially during the winter. Just make sure you have the correct balance between Omega 3 and Omega 6 fats. More 3s than 6s. | 2019-04-22T15:05:13 | http://www.blessedquietness.com/journal/theworld/big-fat-lie.htm |
Stingrays (ie, elasmobranchs) are bottom-dwelling cartilaginous fish that have a flattened body, one or more stout spines on the tail, gill slits on the lower surface of the head, teeth modified into 2 large crushing plates, and no dorsal fin. They are not aggressive toward humans; however, injuries from these animals are very common. Stingrays are shown in the images below.
Stingrays from the northern hemisphere make up the family Dasyatidae. These fish are marine creatures (ie, live in salt water) but also have been found in brackish waters and bays. Another ray family (Potamotrygonidae) contains poisonous species known as freshwater stingrays. These freshwater stingrays live in lakes and rivers of South America.
Also see Cutaneous Manifestations Following Exposures to Marine Life.
Stingray injuries (eg, puncture wounds, lacerations, envenomations) tend to have good outcomes. If patients do not develop infection or other complications, they can expect to have minimal pain in 24-48 hours and healing within 1-2 weeks.
Following is an example of discharge instructions that could be given to patients after treatment of stingray injuries.
Because so many areas of water are nearby, many types of injuries associated with being in or near the water are encountered. These injuries may occur while fishing, walking on the beach, playing in the surf, diving, or working with a home aquarium.
Stingrays often cause lacerations and puncture wounds when the tail whips up and thrusts its barbed spine into the victim, depositing venom (poison). The pain is severe immediately and worsens over the next hour. The pain may last 48 hours. Although rare, deaths have occurred from stingray injuries.
As soon as possible, the wound should be soaked for 30-90 minutes in very hot water (as hot as can be endured without causing burns). The heat inactivates the poison and dramatically relieves the pain. The physician may prescribe pain medication. Also, because the risk of infection is very high, antibiotics are given to prevent infection.

What can I expect the results to be if using SL-2.
Has anyone achieved good results without any surface coating.
I have tried Diatomaceous Earth Powder using a facial powder puff pad and then scanned with Scantech Laser with reasonable results.
But I am interest in the SL-2 and it's capabilities.

I scanned a purple les paul neck a few years back. Buddy wanted a copy of the neck on his custom guitar i was cutting on my CNC.
After much tinkering, using a 405nm "purple" laser and some tweaking of the camera settings worked best. Although the shiny frets still made it throw a huge fit. The back profile, that was glossy purple came out great though and copied beautifully. There was some glare, and it showed up as data that wasnt connected to the neck, so, deleting it out of david was cake. | 2019-04-24T00:27:42 | http://forum.david-3d.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6470 |
Bully Bob, seen here, was one of the props to help educate young people about bullying.
Bullying is an ever-present problem with our nation’s youth. Exacerbating the issue are social media sites, like Facebook, where “cyber-bullying” has become an epidemic. No matter how bullies choose to deliver their torment, bullying is a serious problem with dire consequences.
October is national anti-bullying month. In honor of that two martial arts studios in Warsaw, Relentless Martial Arts Academy and Fitness Center and Caudill’s ATA Black Belt Academy, have teamed up to educated kids on bullying.
On Saturday, Oct. 19, a bullying seminar for children ages six through 12 was held at Relentless Martial Arts Academy and Fitness Center. Led by Sensei Rachel Sumpter, kids were taught how to recognize bullying and how to deal with it. Sumpter used role-playing games and demonstrations to teach the kids about bullying.
There was also a guest speaker. He prefers to remain anonymous because he is a victim of bullying. The speaker offered some sound advice for the children.
The guest speaker urged the kids to tell an adult when they were being bullied or witnessed bullying. He stressed that bullying is a problem that needs to be stopped early in life.
“We have to stop bullies at your age before they get to be [adults],” he said.
There will be several anti-bullying follow-up classes. One on Oct. 21 from 5 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Relentless Martial Arts Academy and Fitness Center, and another on Oct. 29 from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Caudill’s ATA Black Belt Academy.
For more information contact Rachel Sumpter at 574-707-5673 or [email protected] or Robert Lee with Caudill’s ATA Black Belt Academy at 574-551-7289 or [email protected]. | 2019-04-18T22:44:00 | http://www.inkfreenews.com/2013/10/20/martial-arts-hosting-anti-bullying-seminars/ |

*Editor's Note: Paul Ingram, Executive Director, British American Security Information Council (BASIC), wrote this article about potential threats to the UK's Trident nuclear weapons system. The questions and concerns raised by Ingram also apply to the US OHIO Class (Trident) nuclear weapons system, and we should be paying close attention to the reports and briefings being issued by BASIC.
A debate is now raging over BASIC's exposure of the threat emerging technologies present to the future viability of Trident submarines. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) states they do not believe it is a problem, and that even if it were submarines would still be the best, most stealthy platform for nuclear missiles. The confidence implied in the MoD's public line is unjustified, and must surely cover up a deep concern held by strategists for the future viability of its most expensive weapon system. For if submarines are easily detectable, then they are the very last place the UK should choose to put its nuclear deterrent.
We believe it is unlikely there will be any radical technological breakthrough which might diminish the current advantages of the submarine over potential anti-submarine systems. In any event, we judge that a submarine will remain by far the least vulnerable of all the platform options.
In a Parliamentary Answer on 7 March, Philip Dunne assures the House, 'We are confident that our submarine fleet remains safe and secure,' after explaining that MoD tracks these technologies.
To state that there is no problem is heroic, in the face of the evidence. Echoing what former Defence Secretary Des Browne has said, the principal justification for renewing the Trident system is the future uncertainty of the strategic environment, yet we are being asked to believe there is a strong certainty that our systems will not be transparent and vulnerable throughout its operational life, up to half a century from now.
BASIC's latest briefing last week by David Hambling, illustrates how developing sensors operating with extraordinary computing capabilities, based upon a large number of relatively cheap drones operating in a massive network could take away the stealth of submarines before the Successor class launches in 20 years' time. It is often claimed that it is as difficult to find a submarine in the sea as it is a needle in a haystack. Both are achievable with the right equipment. A needle can be extracted with a very powerful magnet.
The ocean is, of course, massive, but efforts to detect submarines have until now depended upon a small number of sensors based upon large platforms (aircraft, frigates, hunter-killer submarines) patrolling over huge distances. We stand on the advent of a new era where more effective and far smaller sensors can be based on a very large number of automated platforms in or over the sea in constant real-time communication with each other.
Contrary to the image invoked by MoD, we are not talking about some unpredictable, surprise breakthrough. The development of drone technology has accelerated in recent years, so that drones exist today that can travel for many months without refuelling, that can hunt submarines under the surface using a variety of sensors at some range (thousands of metres), and that can communicate with each other. They cannot and will not for the foreseeable future travel at the speed of a nuclear submarine, but that is unnecessary as these drones operate as a pack. The technology needs to mature. The cost needs to come down somewhat. But both these are foreseeable in the next two decades.
Some have responded that in these games of cat and mouse, submarine contractors will simply improve their countermeasures or tactics. But this underestimates the nature of the impact from these developments that effectively bring a hitherto inconceivable level of transparency to the oceans in a relatively short time. Submarines inevitably leave a variety of signatures, and cannot be covered up with the addition of more efficient acoustic tiles, or even some theoretical acoustic cloaking device.
The consequence of this to the manned submarine is far bigger than implied in the second sentence of the MoD factsheet, claiming that even with ocean transparency, submarines would remain the least vulnerable platforms. The submarine's advantage over other platforms is its stealth and the fact that it moves. Take away its stealth and its vulnerabilities become very significant - indeed, the submarine becomes one of the most vulnerable of all options.
Attacking ICBMs or aircraft based on the homeland currently involves massive missile or aircraft strikes, involving explicit attacks on the target country that would invite a proportional response on the state perpetrating the attack. An attack on a submarine in international waters would neutralise it and kill a hundred combatants: an act of war, but would it merit a disproportionate nuclear response against cities? In any case the UK would require an ally to launch such a nuclear response on its behalf because its own capability would be lost, unless there were a second submarine on patrol. A second submarine could be held at risk in the same manner as the first.
What about alternatives? Of course they all have their drawbacks. Surface ships are just as vulnerable as submarines. Land-based ballistic missiles have no stealth at all and also require a launch-on-warning posture in crisis situations. Aircraft are also vulnerable to first strikes and need to be rapidly scrambled into the air if there is a warning of in-coming missiles. They can also be shot down en route to their targets. But where these systems have significant advantage over submarines is in the possibility of spreading the assets over several sites, requiring multiple hits. If the systems are dual-capable there is greater chance of investing in sufficient numbers of aircraft and deploying them in a coordinated attack that nuclear deterrence would be achieved at far lower cost. Or it may be time to consider leaving the nuclear game, acknowledging that Britain does need an independent capability, and instead invest in other capabilities that genuinely contribute to European stability.
Until recently opinions on the debate over Trident renewal was largely determined by security, moral, diplomatic or economic concerns. The viability of the systems involved was taken for granted. But this is no longer a responsible response to the emerging evidence that submarines may not only be the most expensive and sophisticated platforms for nuclear delivery systems, they may become the most vulnerable. Reassurances without evidence from institutions or politicians heavily committed to the renewal project hold little credibility in the face of clear and emerging technologies that could not only undermine the advantage of the submarine, but leave us with an expensive and destabilising system. We need to reopen the Trident Alternatives Review and do a better job this time.

So we know that the top 3 ways to have a healthy lifestyle are to eat healthily, be active (move lots!), and sleep enough. But how do we do this?
Children need a healthy, balanced diet in order to continue to grow to their full potential. This means that we need lots of different types of foods. By eating fruits and vegetables of different colours we can make sure that we get the nutrients (vitamins and minerals) that our bodies need.
Every day, you need to do at least 60 minutes of active play and physical activity that makes your heart beat faster and causes you to sweat. Children under 5 years of age need 180 minutes per day.
Well in order for your heart, lungs, bones, muscles and brain to develop properly they need to be used enough. Remember you heart is a muscle and it gets stronger the more you use it. When we play or move around our heart beats faster so that it can bring blood (carrying oxygen and energy) to the moving parts of our bodies. By doing this it stays strong. If we don’t move enough, our heart gets weak. Sometimes when this happens our lungs get unfit too and we get breathless (even when not playing hard).
Sometimes we find it hard to move enough or to be active. Maybe we feel like we don’t have time?
- Maybe we live too far to walk to school?
- Maybe we are lonely?
- Maybe we get tired after school?
- Maybe the weather is too wet to go outside?
- Maybe our friends don’t want to play outside?
- Maybe we have too much homework?
- Wearing a rain jacket and wellies so that the rain can’t hurt you!
Every living creature needs to sleep. Sleep is especially important for children as it controls our growth The main benefit of sleep is the release of growth hormone which is needed by your body so that it can grow (toddlers can grow as much as 1.5cm overnight!).
Sleep also helps concentration and the development of emotional health.
As you grow up you will need to spend more time on homework and meeting with friends. Some of the things we do as we get older can make it hard for us to sleep (e.g. watching TV or using tablets close to bedtime). Remember that your parents are not punishing you if they send you to bed - they know that you need rest to grow taller and to be happy!
If you do not get enough sleep it can be bad for your health and can cause problems like not being able to pay attention in school, being in a bad mood or putting on extra body weight.
Primary-school children should be getting between 10- 12 hours of sleep per night. If you tend to sleep late on the weekend, that’s a message from your body to tell you that you need to sleep more on school nights.

If the Sabre was a registered SBR thats not a bad price .... a little more pricey than PSI has em for but not bad.
The ammo is what seems to be the biggest rip off.
And $45 for a transfer I went to FCP instead.
I don't remember, that's the second thing they teach you."
My experience with B&B has been good, but they have never been cheap. I don't think they raised there prices, in response to the election.
Also, Sabre rifles are pricey. The lowest MSRP I can find on the Sabre Defence website is $1149.
There transfer price has gone up. Its been 5 years, but I think I paid $25 the one and only time I transferred anything.
They have always been overpriced. On top of that their transfer fee is insulting.
I was in there the other day, they said they'd had to beg and scrounge to come up with what firearms and magazines they had. And even with those prices, they said they were selling out of stuff rapidly.
Always were at least half-way friendly there.
Not a single good deal to be found in that store though.
I like having a gun store close by, but I am not willing to pay those prices. I have supported them in the past and buy some stuff there now as well - just not much now. Yes, they are selling lots of stuff - just not to many arfcommers.
I was there when a guy was trading in a Kimber. They gave him an even trade for a Glock with a tag of $510. I liked the Kimber and asked how much, hoping to get my hands on another nice 45 for a good price. $800+ As soon as I heard the 8 I stopped listening.
AR's were "custom" Saber lowers, m4 stocks, Colt uppers, chrome lined barrels, Isreali handguards, and "special trigger".
The poster under the AR's said that Saber was the "choice" of the military.
Remington ammo was nothing special, just plain .223.
This store has always been a little pricey. Especially now.
I'll take 400 Jewelry and Loan anyday. I like kickin' hippies.
They had sabre defence lowers?

Mobulid rays (Family Mobulidae), commonly known as 'devil rays', comprise the genus Mobula and the genus Manta. Seasonal high Mobulidae diversity and abundance occur from November until June. The spine tail devil ray (Mobula japanica), bent fin devil ray (Mobula thurstoni), sickle fin devil ray (Mobula tarapacana), and the iconic oceanic manta ray (Manta birostris), pass through the Bohol Sea. Currently, these pelagic animals face significant threat in the Philippines as century-old mobula fisheries thrive on the island of Bohol. A LAMAVE team is currently studying priority research questions on the ecology and biology of mobulid rays in a landing site. Very little is known about these species and the sustainability of this harvest needs to be examined and addressed.
cost cover accomodation (dorm room with up to 3 people), food (3 meals a day), and trip from/to the study site.

I acknowledge all Members of Parliament I have served with and I do so without rancour or criticism. Over nearly nine years in parliament I’ve found that despite furious debate about political difference, most MPs come here with sincere intent.
Despite growing concern in the agriculture and science sectors, both AgResearch management and the Minister responsible are continuing to hide the true extent of job losses at AgResearch’s Invermay campus, Labour’s MP for Dunedin North David Clark says.

Masseria Moroseta is a modern farmhouse in Ostuni, Italy, with views across olive trees to the sea.
Built using traditional techniques and local materials, architect Andrew Trotter’s hotel is an enclave of relaxation and rural simplicity.
As in a traditional farmhouse, everything is set around the central courtyard: the salon and veranda with their views to the sea, the staircase to the roof terrace, and the six rooms and suites on either side, half with private gardens, the other half with private terraces looking out across the fields. | 2019-04-22T03:11:28 | http://rosieseabrook.com/the-look/masseria-moroseta/ |
Always a step ahead of the pack ShoreTel was honored by the Interactive Media Council, Inc. as “Best in Class” by their 2015 Interactive Media Awards (IMA) for its website in two categories: B2B and Telecommunications. ShoreTel is known for its brilliantly simple phone systems and unified communications solutions that make powerful UC tools and easy to use enterprise telephones, providing accessible collaboration and communication for businesses the entire world over. The Interactive Media Council (IMC) is an organization of web designers, advertisers, developers, and other media professionals dedicated to recognizing and promoting high standards of excellence in Internet media. Their annual awards recognize individuals and organizations that exhibit high quality as well as innovation in website design and development. The Best in Class award is the highest honor awarded in the Interactive Media Awards (IMA) and recognizes the very best in planning, execution and overall professionalism, and is judged by a group of 79 IMC members from different countries. Certainly, this is a honor (2 honors) to celebrate!
ShoreTel recently revamped its website for the launch of ShoreTel Connect, their new unified communications platform. ShoreTel Connect is a breakthrough in business communications, an innovation in IP telephony and UC that provides a platform built on a single software code base which enables organizations to design their communications system as they choose: in the cloud as a managed service, a hardware system managed onsite, or as a hybrid solution where some locations and applications are managed in the cloud and others onsite. This gives organizations maximum choice and flexibility for their particular UC paradigm while retaining ShoreTel’s trademark ease of use.
Originally, ShoreTel submitted only one entry to be considered, an entry in the Telecommunications category, however the IMC judging panel recommended that their site also be included in the B2B category because of its quality and relevance. The competition was fierce since 165 entries were at play in the B2B category as well as 40 entries in the Telecommunications category.
As a proud ShoreTel partner, ATI Connect can help your company navigate and choose an appropriate ShoreTel UC solution and phone solution for your business. Let us know when you want to begin that discussion! | 2019-04-24T03:49:41 | http://ati-cti.com/blog/shoretel-wins-two-interactive-media-awards/ |
French police guarding the Louvre museum in Paris were attacked by a machete wielding Islamic Terrorist and was shot 5 times. The first thing that came to my mind when I heard this story was… damn, can’t the French police shoot better than that? This guy should be dead right now. So now I can imagine that they will nurse this maniac’s wounds and then give him room and board for the rest of his life. What a waste of money. | 2019-04-20T05:09:43 | http://bills-soapbox.com/?cat=5 |

Lio, quiet and withdrawn, finds it difficult to connect with others due to his condition: faceblindness, an inability to recognize and remember faces. He then meets Shana, a beautifully free spirit who changes his life.
Three years after That Thing Called Tadhana, JM De Guzman proves he's still got what it takes to tug at your heartstrings and when he does, boy does it hurt so badly, especially in his latest romantic drama Kung Paano Siya Nawala. If there ever was a role tailor fit for JM, it is that of Lio, a super introverted guy who suffers from a condition that makes it difficult for him to remember faces except that of his closest family members. JM as Lio makes us feel his insecurities, whether real or imagined, as he goes through life trying to hide his unique condition from everyone around him, making it difficult to make and keep friends in his life.
Rhian Ramos as Shana, stumbles into Lio’s life unexpectedly, and she does it with the same quirkiness she showed in her 2016 film Saving Sally. The two quickly connect, thanks mostly to Shana’s persistence and understanding of Lio’s condition, even though there are days when he still cannot recognize her. Even though it is their first time working together, JM and Rhian create the chemistry needed to bring the audience into their world, and their intimate scenes are natural and raw.
JM creates the perfectly imperfect Lio, embracing everything flawed and possibly even merging it with his own in real-life thoughts. It looks like JM’s biggest strength when it comes to acting lies in his being able to bring a certain kind of vulnerability to his roles which he does effortlessly in this film. Watch Kung Paano Siya Nawala if you want to watch more than just another story about romance. Opens in cinemas nationwide starting November 14 under TBA Studios. Directed by Joel Ruiz. | 2019-04-24T18:07:22 | https://www.fullmoviepnoy.com/2018/11/kung-paano-siya-nawala-2018.html |
And now for the Bird Fair. It owes its origin – curious as the statement may sound – to the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The expatriated French weavers brought their love of birds and flowers over to England with them, and handed the gentle tastes down to their descendants in Bethnal Green and Spitalfields – descendants who, in spite of their French names, now look upon French silk-weavers as foreign foes. Those dingy red and drab brick houses, with top storeys of dirty weather-board, and latticed oblongs that look like half a dozen casements run into one – the differentiating feature of the architecture of the weavers’ quarter – often contain most drearily bare rooms, but a bird-cage and a flower pot pretty generally form two items of the scanty furniture; and any traveller on the Great Eastern Railway must have noticed the numerous pigeon “dormers” planted on the black roofs, between the bristling chimney-pots, of the ineffably gloomy mass of grimy brick through which the railway arches straddle into the terminus. In a colony of bird-fanciers, bird sellers have naturally established themselves, and hence bird-shops are almost as common in Club Row and its purlieus as they are in Great St. Andrew-street. (It is strange to hear rural chirpings and twitterings, and full bursts of song, in two of the most squalid districts of London, Bethnal Green and Seven Dials). In the streets which hold these East-end bird-shops, plebeian bird fanciers from all parts of London have got into the habit of assembling on Sunday morning – to make fresh purchases, to compare their pets, to get up singing matches between them, and to witness the finish of pigeon matches.
They begin to muster – men, hobbydehoys [sic], boys and mere children – about half-past 10; “high change” is at 12; and by a little after 1 the great gathering has melted away like a muddy snowball – the bird-fanciers still left to loaf about being chiefly cruel young scamps that are torturing the sparrows, etc., in which they have invested their few coppers. | 2019-04-24T04:53:13 | https://esotericlondon.com/2010/05/10/no-51/ |

Jonathan: We have a gentleman I know you’ve heard of and he has certainly helped many, many people across the country achieve their health and fitness goals. He is the famed author of the 17 Day Diet. We’ve got Dr. Mike with us! Welcome, Mike! How are you?
Mike: Jonathan, what a nice introduction! Thank you so much. Great to be on the show. I’m excited to chat and answer some fun questions and hope we continue to further the cause.
Jonathan: Well, I greatly appreciate all the efforts you’ve done towards the cause, Dr. Mike. One thing I wanted to start it off with, before we get into your story is. I know here on the Smarter Science of Slim show, we always try to talk about lifestyle change and ensuring we’re in line with science, and we definitely want to free ourselves from a lot of the empty promises that can sometimes be out there in the weight loss world – and I say this with all the respect in the world – that sometimes people hear the term ’17-day diet’ and they’re like, “Okay, what is this?” But if you actually dig a little bit deeper – you have to have a catchy title – but when you actually look below the surface, what you’re talking about is really just clean nutrient-dense eating. At least, that’s my observation. Is that accurate?
Mike: Absolutely right. It’s a baby-step program. The 17 Diet and as we get into the discussion, it’ll become more evident as to why the title is as it is. You look at the book – it’s a pink book, it’s flashy, it’s a catchy thing, and like you said, there is a marketing technique to anything – but really when you dig below, it’s just sound nutritional advice. It’s not gimmicky. It’s a baby-step fashion – and when I say baby step, I mean each baby step is 17 days to getting people back on to a track of proper health and nutrition and not eliminating all of these foods. I think so many people have gone to these protein-driven diets.
You cannot deprive the human body of carbohydrates. It is an energy source, it is a source that we constantly need, and if we don’t have it, we crave it, we need it, and when we want it, we sometimes become gluttonous – as with so many other things. This is exactly as you said. It is sound nutritional advice, but I think it’s been laid out in a format that has not quite been done previously and I think that’s why people are finding it doable and successful.
Jonathan: Mike, I’m curious. Certainly, you mentioned there are a lot of individuals who, when they go on a program which, let’s say, seeks almost a complete elimination of carbohydrate, that can potentially be a struggle for them. Have you noticed that there are maybe different types of people? For example, individuals that do better on a higher/moderate carbohydrate-clean diet and then maybe individuals that do better on a higher/moderate fat, but still clean diet?
Mike: Absolutely! The human body has just got to be the most complicated thing out there. I’ve been practicing family medicine for about 15½ years now, so I’ve dealt with it from children, from babies, quite honestly. Even from delivery all the way up to the geriatric population. Each individual is different, each person functions at a different capacity, and we all know there are people who eat what appears to be 5,000 calories a day and never gain weight. Then we all know there are people who can function off two hours of sleep at night and be as though they’ve slept eight or ten.
We’re all different – whether it’s our sleep patterns or our eating habits or our exercise requirements – and it’s a matter of finding two things: one, what works for you, and two, what you can live with and you’re happy with. I think that dynamic is really critical because we can propose a plan or a thought or an idea to people that may find it not very palatable; palatable meaning, as food or just psychologically. It’s really finding out what works for someone and then finding out what someone not just can live with, but be happy with, because life’s a long journey and we hope that we can live it in a healthy way and enjoy it, because if we don’t, our health can certainly get in the way of us enjoying it.
Mike: It’s so right. One of the statements I use with my patients constantly is that “I don’t want to put my diet into your lifestyle. I want you to give me your lifestyle and I want to put it into my diet.” I think that you hit it right on the head. It’s really a matter of… You get caught up in just thinking that what you do is the same across the board for everybody. One of the things I use a lot with my patients is journaling – not just in terms of diet, but in terms of chronic pain syndromes – whether it’s migraines or IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). Whatever it may be – allergies is another thing – but when people have issues with weight loss. I sit down with them and I say to them, “Let’s journal your day. From the time you open your eyes in the morning to the time that you lay your head on the pillow, I want to know what your day is – what you do.” Are you a single mom? A single dad? Do you have three jobs? Or two kids? Or no kids?
What is it about your life that is different and challenging? Give me the obstacles because I can’t always provide the tools, but I think that if we think – and when I say ‘we’, I mean myself and the individual I’m speaking with. We put our heads together, we can find a solution most of the time. If not, you said it exactly. Go back to the drawing board. But we can’t give up. We really can’t. I think I’ve seen so many people give up in the last few years that I’m really trying to set a precedence that we can reach out and help each other and get some new ideas.
Jonathan: I appreciate you saying that, Mike, because from the outside looking in, someone could say…. Here’s a perfect example. “There is a 17-day diet and if I try it and it doesn’t work for me….” Almost like a religious argument, “It is the one true path and if it doesn’t work for me, then I have failed and I might as well give up.” What I hear you saying is, nothing could be further from the truth. It is a path and you have to figure out how to walk whatever path you can walk on for the rest of your life and if one particular path doesn’t get you to your destination as fast as you would like or as easily as you would like or as sustainably as you’d like, find another path! Don’t give up.
Mike: Exactly. Never give up. This is a 17-day trial that I assure most people find success – and when I say most people, I mean the numbers are in the 90% or more. I tell people, “Listen. You’re not going to follow this 100% because it’s very, very difficult to do anything 100%. But if you can follow this to within 80-85%, you’re going to see results. Another thing is, as you said, just don’t give up because life is hopefully a long journey and 17 days is a really small portion. People take vacations longer than 17 days, so if you can get 17 days, use 17 days to get your life back on track. That’s a small investment in the big picture.
Jonathan: Mike, getting into the 17-day diet dynamics – certainly we don’t want to give away the farm here, but in terms of the types of foods we’re eating, when we’re eating, things like that – what is the general protocol?
Mike: Well, general protocol is this: This is not about starving people. This is about resetting your metabolism and re-establishing a healthy rate of metabolism. So the general protocol is that you’re having three and four meals a day; you’re having snacks; you’re doing what most of us need to do. We live busy lives. We need to eat. We try to give you carbohydrates from day one, but we try to focus on clean carbohydrates. What we’re trying to get rid of is all of the processed foods. When I say that, I really want people to focus on that term, ‘processed foods’. We don’t need that stuff.
It’s not carbs because carbs are needed, as I said earlier. It’s getting three or four meals a day – getting those snacks – but learning which of those things we should do. I try to focus our biggest meal in the morning or afternoon. Again, it has to be changed depending upon the person’s lifestyle and their job and their daily activities. We use a term in medicine, ADLs, which are activities of daily living.
So everybody’s different, but it’s really heavy in protein, initially, and the carbs – you’re still allowed from day one. You’re still allowed carbs, you’re still allowed fruits and vegetables, and as we progress through the 17-day cycles, we start to bring in after just 17 days, we start to bring in potatoes and yams and whole grains and as we proceed to another 17 days, we start to weave in breads and pastas and a lot of these things that people think, “Oh my gosh! I can never have this again.” It’s just not true. You just need to learn portion control. You need to learn which are the proper carbs and when to have them. That’s what this book tries to outline for people.
Jonathan: Just use heroin in moderation, it is okay!
Jonathan: Is there a place for these processed edible products in your protocol in moderation?
Mike: Well, going back to what I said a few minutes ago, which is, you don’t need to do this with a 100%. We’re all going to have our moments of weakness and whether they’re caused by our challenges vocationally or at home or whatever they may be, we all have a crutch. What my goal is, is to minimize those gluttonous episodes of perhaps eating something that you wouldn’t normally eat. When you go into the program, a lot of people say, “Well, its four cycles of 17.” It’s actually not. It’s actually three cycles of 17. The fourth cycle is a maintenance cycle. The maintenance cycle gives you exactly what you’re telling me or asking me, which is, it gives you the ability to have some freedom on Saturdays and Sundays. Now, it doesn’t mean, “Go out and eat ten pepperoni pizzas and a box of donuts and go crazy!” It means that you can enjoy those things.
I did this because, in my experience, most people have activities or parties or weddings or whatever it may be on the weekends and so, for many people, the challenges will occur on that 5 o’clock on Friday through 6 o’clock on Sunday and then, people get back into their routine. What this does is, in my opinion, mimics life as we live it. Again, this may change. Some people may be working Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and have Monday and Tuesday off, and you simply shift the recommendations.
The point is that, on those weekends, you can go out and have some pizza or you can go out and have that donut or do whatever. You’re right. I’m not going to say on those weekends, “Go ahead and puff away on a pack of cigarettes.” There are certain things we want to abstain from completely, but when the book guides you and tells you when you’re kind of going overboard on these free days or when you’re doing a little too much, and it kind of gives you some hints to toggle back, that means that what most people find are two things: one, when they start to proceed towards these gluttonous days, they don’t feel good and a lot of it’s because they detox their body – they put their body in a different state of mind, mentally and physically – and so when they start to eat these things, their body almost rejects them.
Secondly, most people don’t enjoy it. You have such an overwhelming good feeling of energy and you sleep better and you feel better and you think better and everything just works better. To pour sugar in a gas tank just doesn’t make sense. So, not only does your body not sort of gel with it, but, what I’m finding is, people are saying, “When I have these free days, I don’t really eat those things I used to because it doesn’t make me feel good and I love the way I feel during the week and I’m so productive and positive. I want to feel that way all the time.” So people kind of gel into this routine on their own and people get to these points where you could still have everything and anything in moderation; but what I’m finding is a lot of people shy away from it because they don’t really enjoy it.
Mike: Exactly! A very good friend of mine – I love him to death – but sometimes he challenges me. I can tell him what to do sometimes and unless he gets there on his own, it’s not as concrete, regardless of what the point may be. I always tease him because I always say, “I knew you would get there, but you had to get there on your own.” When you get there on your own, it’s extremely powerful! When people get there and they come to me and say, “Well, I started doing this and I started scratching my head and thinking, “I’ve been telling you that for the last six months.” When people get there on their own, there is a mindset and there is a power to that and the mind is extremely powerful, but when we say to ourselves, “Yes, I get this”, you’re more inclined to continue that behavior as opposed to, as you said, when someone says, “This is what you need to do.” So it’s very powerful.
I think this is a training method and I think this is why people are not just losing weight, but they’re keeping it off, Jonathan. That’s the cool thing that I’m loving about this! People are saying, “Yeah, I lost 30 pounds and I kept it off!” “I lost 60, 70, 100…..” 150 pounds is the most that I’ve seen lost and these people are keeping it off. It’s not through surgery, it’s not through fasting, and it’s not through drinking liquid all day; this is sound nutritional advice, going back to what you said at the very beginning, and when people get there on their own and get a taste of what it feels like to be healthy again, they’re more inclined to stay the path.
Jonathan: Dr. Mike, I really want to highlight what you mentioned about keeping the weight off because if we look at the scientific literature – I’m sure this is your experience as well – the challenge is not primarily with weight loss – almost everyone has done that. It’s with weight maintenance. One of my favorite studies – I believe it was a study out of Stanford – that compared a bunch of different diets, like high-fat versus high-carbs versus more higher protein, and what they found basically was anyone who’s stuck to anything other than the standard way of eating did well. The conclusion was that it’s the practicality of the ‘diet’ which matters, possibly, the most because the actual diet itself is going to vary person to person to person, but what doesn’t vary is if you stop doing it, it stops working. Right?
Mike: That’s the point. You said it exactly. If you stop doing it, people say, “Well, you’re saying stop doing it. Stop doing the 17-day diet.” That’s where the sort of confusion is because when people start reading the book, they will go, “Oh, I get it.” This is not a 17-day fix. This is a pathway back to exactly what you’re saying – the ability, the power, the strength, the mindset, the physicality of being able to maintain this lifestyle. It’s all about lifestyle. You’ll hear people say it all the time, “Well, you have to change your lifestyle.” Well, what does that mean? For everybody, lifestyle is different because everybody has different responsibilities and things that they need to do.
So this is about giving people the ability to reset their lifestyle on a physical standpoint and it’s not just always about weight. I tell people, they sometimes get frustrated because they don’t drop as many pounds as they were hoping, but you have to look inside. What’s your blood pressure doing? What’s your cholesterol doing? What’s your sugar doing? How are your heart and lungs working? This is a whole body process. This is not just, “What does that scale say? How many pounds did I lose?” Granted, you’re going to see weight loss, but what people don’t see are those hidden factors that you can have improve inside and those factors that I mentioned –they’re ultimately leading to so many problems from a health standpoint in this world.
Jonathan: Mike, what have you noticed with your patients? You’ve been doing this, like you said, for well, well over a decade and you got your family practice, you’ve obviously touched maybe, at this point, millions of lives with the 17 Day Diet. Congratulations! It’s been wonderful to watch that ride. When we get off the call, I want to have an off-the-record conversation with you on how you did that.
Jonathan: Have you noticed in your practice – because I’ve noticed this and there’s a bit of research to suggest it – in terms of personality types, where the type of lifestyle nutrition pattern which may be best for us each as individuals, and really they’re being almost two types of people. One is someone who would much rather have a program in which they can eat a little bit of everything, just not too much of anything, and some people would prefer to have a program where they don’t eat any of certain things, but can go a little over-the-top with other things. Let me give you concrete examples. To me, the 17-day diet is a little bit more of “all things in moderation, just don’t go overboard”; whereas something a bit more like a carbohydrate-restricted diet says “as long as you don’t eat X, you can basically eat as much that you want of Y.” Often when people do that, they spontaneously reduce caloric intake, it’s been shown in numerous studies. But those are two very different approaches. What are your thoughts on those two approaches?
Mike: That’s an excellent question! I’d have to say, in the last three years since I’ve been doing a lot of these interviews, that’s one of the best questions I’ve heard. I think personally – again, I’ll foundationally set this up by saying, everybody’s different. As you said, that’s why those two principles have to be realistic options. That being said, everybody’s different and I think, really, this program is kind of a little bit of both because it kind of gives you hints and dos and don’ts for both types of people.
My personal feeling is this – I’m a foodie. I love to eat. I eat socially; to me, a big thing, familial-wise. I’m Mexican. I grew up around big families eating and screaming and yelling and food and tortillas and…. I grew up around this stuff and it’s a part of my heritage – I love it! – and like so many other cultures there – I’ve been fortunate the last few years to visit so many other cultures in the diet and utilizing this diet into their cultures – my thoughts are really that I think for everybody. It’s what works for you.
If your payback is a little more exercise or maybe being a little more strict on a day or two following whatever day you sort of went off things, I think that’s great. My thing is, again, when you go to the being strict for two days versus just a little exercise, I think a healthy walk with a friend or family or sometimes by yourself to collect your thoughts. I think the payback should be a little exercise, but again, I’m not about depriving. I think deprivation leads to failure and rebound and people revolt and I think that sends you down a bad pathway. I think, enjoy any and everything and learn about moderation and if you mess up, so what? Guess what? You can make up for it in other ways, but you just want to have those mess-up days not occurring too often.
Jonathan: Again, Mike, it gets back to that. It seems like an overarching principle we’re talking about here which is, regardless of what you’re eating, you should always be conscious of ensuring cleanliness of the food you’re eating and ensuring the nutrient density, but it is absolutely going to vary from person to person in terms of what you just said, is a little bit of everything in moderation. That works really well for you.
I’ve noticed with myself – let me give you a concrete example. I was talking with one of my friends the other day and they were craving some of this dessert and for them and for my mother as well, they can take a bite of a dessert and they’re like, “That’s good!” Like, “I’m good. That’s what I wanted.” If I take a bite of a dessert and I don’t eat the entire dessert, I will feel less satisfied than if I didn’t eat any of the dessert.
Mike: Thus is born the three-bite rule. For those of you who haven’t read the book, there is a very, very elaborate discussion about that very thing. I’m like you. I can’t have one bite. That’s not enough. So I use the three-bite rule when it comes to desserts. For most desserts, especially some of these ones that are rich in chocolate and sugar and stuff, two or three bites is usually about what you need – and there are some great tips in the book that show you how to practice this discipline and how to succeed at doing it. But listen, I’m on your side on this one. One bite’s not enough, but you use the three-bite rule and then you either remove yourself from the situation or have the dessert or the situation remove itself from your presence; but yeah, one bite’s not enough. The three-bite rule seems to work pretty well. Most people are satisfied with that.
There’s always a point I always joke around with people because I’m not one of these people that wipes the plate clean and it is okay and I think society in the last many years has sort of led us down this pathway that you can’t waste food and you can’t do this, you can’t do that. My thought is this: When we’re all in a gathering – and I want people to do this – next time you’re around the dinner table or with friends or at a restaurant, even look around at other tables, watch as people are eating and you’ll notice this behavior and it occurs without people really realizing it, and I do it myself. There’s this point in the meal where normally people are leaning in – into conversation, into the meal, into what’s going on – and suddenly, you’ll see them lean out.
We’ve all done it. We sort of arch our back and we rub our bellies and we start to…. It’s that first moment of fullness. Let me tell you that’s just such a critical moment in eating a meal. I’ll tell you that is the point where if you stop, you not only feel fulfilled from eating, but you feel great when you’re done. I mean, most of us come out of a restaurant – or a lot of us sometimes – just rolling out of there and want to just find a couch or a bed and just collapse. It kind of takes away from the experience, in my opinion. So, look around next time you’re at a restaurant or dinner table and watch for people – watch them do that lean back – and it’s key to watch the people who do that and then push their plate away and are disciplined enough to be done versus those who continue to lean back in and do this two or three more times until they’re just stuffed.
Human behavior is so amazing and I think in the 15 years of practice, that’s the one thing I’ve learned. Patients always say, “Oh, God! You teach us a lot about this.” I can’t thank my patients enough for what they’ve taught me about human behavior and the challenges they’ve given me over the years, but we’re all different and I can’t stress enough to you how much we need to just lend a hand to – whether it’s a friend or family or even someone you don’t know – and really, really try to help each other because we’re all in this together.
Jonathan: Mike, I want to shine a light on what you said there in terms of the eating in a social gathering – just to make sure I understand you correctly because I can totally empathize and it’s had a profound impact on my life as well – and that’s, what you’re describing – correct me if I’m wrong – is – for example, you serve yourself some food and you’ve got your plate there, you’ve got a nice plate, you eat it, and when you’re done, when you take your last forkful, you think to yourself, “That was good! I could eat some more.” But what you do – and this is actually what myself and my wife do – is we say, “That was really good. I could eat some more.” Then we wait and we talk for 3-5 minutes and ‘amazingly’, at the end of that 5 minutes, 80% of the time, we are completely satisfied.
Jonathan: I just want folks to understand what I believe you’re not saying – ‘stop when you’re still hungry’ and ‘it’s just about eating less’. What I hear you saying is, it’s about not unnecessarily overstuffing yourself simply because your gut hasn’t had time to communicate with your brain just how satisfied it actually is.
That’s really enjoyment. What I find is that often times, I feel like I’m enjoying the meal and the taste and flavors and all of the meal and experience of the meal leading up to that point. Sometimes when you push past that 75 or 80% to that 90 or that full 100% or feeling stuffed, it almost seems like you don’t enjoy that last push. I think the enjoyment is really that front part – part of it’s the food and part of it’s the company and your friendship and conversation and part of it’s just enjoying the taste and flavors of foods. So you’re absolutely right. When you try to train your body and your mind to find out where that 75 or 80% sort of timeframe is in an eating of the meal, you’ll enjoy your meal a lot better.
One of the other things is I like to eat and feel energized. I like to eat and feel like I’m ready to go. It’s like filling up your gas tank. You know that feeling when you fill up and you have a full gas tank, its great! You get in the car and you just feel like you can go anywhere and do anywhere; and it’s really the same with eating. I love that feeling of being energized and feeling good after you eat and let’s face it, most of the time after we eat, we typically aren’t going to bed and if you are, that’s probably something you should change in terms of your behavior. A lot of us really eat and then are launched into our day and whether that’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner – whatever it may be – a lot of us have to be mentally and physically prepared to do something, so why not eat and feel energized and think clearly and feel better as opposed to wanting to lay down and sleep.
Jonathan: It’s good stuff and if you’re not lying down and sleeping, which is good, then you should take that time and you should go check out DrMikeDiet.com because our good friend, Dr. Mike, who we’ve been talking to here, has a free report up there called 7 Simple Ways To Lose Weight Now. It’s certainly also going to improve your health a bit. His book, which I’m sure you’ve heard of, has been all over the media, is the 17 Day Diet. Dr. Mike, thank you so much for joining us. What is next for you? In some circles, you’ve basically scaled the publishing success mountain. Which mountain are you going to scale next?
Mike: Well, I’ll tell you. The book initially was followed by a cookbook, which was really fantastic! I had the fortune of working with some very talented individuals to produce a number of new recipes that all fall into the very simple cycles. So that was completed about a year ago.
Up next, currently being worked on is a revision of the current book, and that’ll be out probably not till the first of the year – I’m thinking probably January. But this book’s going to be fantastic! It’s going to revisit a lot of the foundational principles of the 17 Day Diet. We’re going to have some amazing testimonials and you’re going to see people of all ages from all over the country, from all over the world, quite honestly, and some of their success stories. So we’re going to be able to share a lot of those with people and I think they’re truly inspiring. We’re going to have a ton more recipes that are going to be available and then we’re going to have some new literature that focuses on body-specific weight loss and certain foods that target certain parts of the body in terms of decreasing size. So there’s some good stuff coming in the first of the year and hopefully I think people will continue to just grasp ideas.
Again, at DrMikeDiet.com, there are a lot of people sharing their success stories and ideas and challenges and so it’s a great forum to get help, whether it’s individually or through just group support, there are a number of things out there.
Jonathan: Well, Dr. Mike, we’ll have to have you back on the show, if you don’t mind, because I also have a book coming out right around that timeframe, so we might have to work something out. Maybe we can go on tour together or something.
Mike: Hey, fantastic! I’m sure it’d be great. Anything to get people healthier, I’m all on-board. I appreciate you having me. It’s been a great time and I hope people enjoy listening and let’s all, like I said, reach out and help each other because life can be a good journey if we live in a healthy and positive way.
Jonathan: I love it. Thank you so much, Dr. Mike. Folks, 17 Day Diet. DrMikeDiet.com. Remember, this week and every week after – eat smarter, exercise smarter, and live better. Talk with you soon.

Mr. President, I would just like to express my full support for PS Resolution No. 538 of my seatmate, Senator Sonny Angara, which nominates Whang-Od Oggay for the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan for her timeless contribution to our nation’s artistic heritage. Her craft and skill in body art through the indigenous art of ‘batek’ has been treasured by the Filipino people and the global community. Her work has attracted a substantial number of local and foreign tourists, and the beauty of her unique craft deserves the utmost recognition from the Philippine government.
As such, I reiterate my full support for this Resolution and likewise humbly urge the National Commission for Culture and the Arts to act on it as soon as possible, in order to uphold Whang-Od’s distinction as a living legend of Philippine art. | 2019-04-24T06:26:06 | http://joelvillanueva.ph/national-issues/2018/02/27/Statement-of-Support-Nominating-Whang-Od-for-Gawad-sa-Manlilikha-ng-Bayan |

The invisible leash does have a positive use – it can literally save you from losing your phone. If you put your phone down, for example at the grocery store check-out, then walk away without it, the lost link alert will let you know you’ve left your phone behind. Perhaps Apple should provide its iPhone developers with Proximities when they head out to the bars with prototype phones on their belts.
If you do manage to lose your iPhone, the Proximity can also help you locate it, assuming the phone is within Bluetooth range. Pressing both of the pushers on the watch at the same time causes a connected phone to play a loud, marimba-style melody, even if the phone is in silent mode. If the Bluetooth link is not active when you begin your search, pushing both buttons can activate the link once you get within range. This type of search resembles looking for your lost car in a large parking lot, with one big difference: you won’t be able to find your phone, unlike your car, if it is powered off.
Circling back to the Proximity’s dial indications, the small white hand on the display at 2 o’clock has multiple functions, depending on which mode the watch is in. In most modes, including time display, the hand indicates the power reserve, which, thanks to Eco-Drive − Citizen’s system for producing energy from light − is pretty good. Citizen says the power reserve in normal use, connected to an iPhone, is eight months, and 17 months when the watch is not connected to an iPhone.
“Normal use” is defined as the watch being synced with the phone six hours per day, and receiving 10 alerts per day. The owner’s manual suggests that the watch be kept close to full charge with regular exposure to light – preferably sunlight, which provides the fastest charge. If the watch goes 30 minutes without being exposed to sufficient light to charge it, it goes into power-save mode and the seconds hand stops ticking, though the hour and minutes hands continue to indicate the time. Power-save mode is automatically cancelled as soon as the watch is exposed to light.
When reestablishing a Bluetooth connection, the small, white hand at 2 o’clock points to “On” or “Off” to indicate the link status. In calendar mode, it points to the day of the week.
Put the watch in chronograph mode, and the seconds hand goes to zero. In this mode, the seconds hand is no longer part of the alert system. The small white hand at 2 o’clock becomes the chronograph minutes counter. This display’s small size, coupled with the lack of numerals identifying elapsed minutes, makes reading it a challenge. In chronograph mode, the hour and minutes hands continue to keep time.
When you start the chronograph, the seconds hand makes a quick trip around the dial before beginning to count the seconds. After making this trip, it pauses briefly at 12 o’clock (or zero) before it begins counting the elapsing seconds. This odd behavior, coupled with the minutes counter’s poor legibility, render the chronograph less than ideal for timing events where split-second accuracy is important.
The Proximity also offers a local time mode (“LTM”) that quickly resets all of the time displays (day, date, hours, minutes, seconds, and 12/24 hours) to a second time zone.
Nighttime viewing options are limited to the hours and minutes. The Proximity uses Citizen’s proprietary luminous material. It’s applied sparingly, with only small amounts at the hour markers and the tips of the hands. Other indicators do not light up. Two hours after a full charge, you’ll have to let your eyes adjust to the darkness for a few seconds to read the time, and the luminous material loses its charge entirely after about five hours.
Like any Bluetooth device – even one using low-energy 4.0 – the Proximity will affect the iPhone’s battery life. For that reason, the link between the watch and the phone will automatically be terminated after six hours of continuous use.
At the end of the day, the Proximity presents a combination of attractive pros and off-putting cons. On the plus side, the time sync makes it a good travel watch. The alerts, though limited, are useful, and the abilities to both warn you that you’re walking away from your phone and to find your phone if it’s lost can by themselves save you the cost of the watch.
The case is stealth fighter meets Batmobile.
On the down side, there are no text message alerts, the Bluetooth link breaks with some frequency, and of course non-iPhone owners are out of the picture entirely.
It seems clear that the watch is not intended to be worn with the Bluetooth link enabled full time. Given that, the sync options offer what might be called situation-specific convenience. If you understand the pros and cons going in, you should be happy with the purchase. And if you wear one, you won’t be pulled over by the fashion police.

“The typical American home wastes around 12,000 gallons of water a year waiting for their water to get hot in the shower,” says Alderson. “Investing in a water heater is a more efficient way to warm up your H20.” The U.S. Department of Energy says the average water heater lasts 10 to 15 years and advises consumers to research new products now, before their current products fail.
Hire a contractor or HVAC specialist to do a “comfort analysis” to help determine problems, such as frequently running out of hot water. Then, invest in products that are both environmentally-friendly and good for your budget.
Finally, you can control energy use and costs by utilizing internet connectivity. Systems including water heaters and air conditions can be turned on or off and temperature can be remotely adjusted with an app.

Sometimes, love takes you by the mouth. Both of them.
Soyini Ayanna Forde‘s “Poem for a Gunman” tugs your underpinnings aside, curls urgency and sincerity upwards into your heart in slow, molasses-drugged strokes. The address of the poem is intimate, revelatory, confessional: we learn of a lover with “slow walk solid calf muscles nutmeg flesh / marinating in Rasta oil”, a lover who transmits need with the press of ganja-ripe fingers around his woman’s throat, a man who “could have / picked me up if you wanted to, crumple me, / throw me away”. Oh, forget Prince Charming. Fling off Rhett Butler. Heathcliff, who? If you want it good, go to yard.
I’m listening to vintage Beres Hammond while I write this. Yeah. Tings serious.
“Poem for a Gunman” is direct, so tender and ravenous in its address. It bares the nape. It hitches up the dress. It smudges the lipstick, reapplies it, then licks it off raw. It presses you backwards, knees bending, onto the bed of hunger still salted and leavened with the last afterglows of slaking thirst. Forde instills in us this same unbowed, primeval knowing of the speaker’s lover, investing us in a psychogeography of his planes, his angles, his moods and humours. We walk in his skin, and lie down in him, lying down in her. This great, genuine shapeshifting voyeurism of the spectacle of love, and loving, fuels the best romances. The best darknesses, too.
I so badly want to tell you the last two lines of this incandescent, hummingbird-hearted poem, but I think you should read it, and find out. Take yourself to bed, or be taken to bed, on the promise of it, the renewal and supplication and transubstantiation of that need. Pull it into your mouth like sensimilla, exhale slowly. Again.

Lullaby and Good Night - Our New Release, and a gift!
Cradle Song is the common name for a number of children's lullabies with similar lyrics, the original of which was Johannes Brahms's "Wiegenlied: Guten Abend, gute Nacht" ("Good evening, good night"), Op. 49, No. 4, published in 1868 and widely known as Brahms' Lullaby. The lullaby's melody is one of the most famous and recognizable in the world, used by countless parents to sing their babies to sleep. The Lullaby was dedicated to Brahms' friend, Bertha Faber, on the occasion of the birth of her second son.

Tabloid papers frequently carry UFO images and the internet is ripe with obvious fakes as well. The Sophomore Graphic Design and Communications students have now raised the bar on fake UFO images. The assignment wasn’t easy, the students had to do their own photography, plus make creative UFO images, but they created some real masterpieces.
Friday the Sophomore Graphic Design and Communications classes checked out Bismarck Art and Galleries Association. The current exhibit in the main gallery is the photography of L.A. Huffman. Huffman photographed eastern Montana between 1879 and 1931. His photos represent a great cross section of life of the era.
Students were able to see the historic images and discuss the techniques used contrasting them with modern methods. | 2019-04-21T16:07:47 | http://www.bscgdc.com/blog/2012/09/ |
Our Rainbow Xpress Bodyshop service starts with a detailed estimate that establishes not only the cost of the parts and labour, but also, and perhaps more importantly, explains the precise work to be undertaken on your vehicle. This gives you, us, your insurer and any other third party all of the information you and they need about the job from the outset, as well as invaluable confidence about the repairs being undertaken to your vehicle.
Even with our Xpress service, we do not cut corners in the preparation of your vehicle for repair. Our technicians will go to work, performing the stripping, storing, protecting and covering operations that safeguard your car from any accidental splashes, spillage or damage – especially the soft furnishings of the interior.
Panel work is the core of what we do, naturally involving the greatest physical impact on your vehicle, and the longest duration of any individual phase, and thus the most care from everyone involved.
Paint is crucial to the finished look of your vehicle, and thus a vitally important part of the overall process. The best possible result is dependent on the careful matching of colours, the right amount of paint being used, the correct coverage and the careful management of the baking operation.
Our Xpress technicians recognise that the refit stage is as crucial as the strip phase, and use professional care to ensure the integrity not only of the repairs that have been undertaken, but also of your car as a whole.
Everyone at Rainbow Xpress takes responsibility for the quality of the work that is performed on your vehicle. A major part of our assurance of these standards is our Quality Control, which consists of a continuous set of processes from the beginning to the end of your car’s time with us.
You want to enjoy driving your car, so, at the end of the process, when your vehicle is roadworthy once more, we clean and polish it. This is an important factor, contributing to your satisfaction with your car, as well as an important statement of our pride in the work that we do. | 2019-04-21T22:47:48 | https://www.rainbowbodyshops.co.uk/xpress/services |
Hype is an ineffective communication strategy, especially when based on limited facts. There are many elements to effective communication – simply raising awareness about a problem is not enough if audiences don’t engage with the facts and participate in developing solutions.
Early last year I wrote a post on ecology and mathematics that was inspired by an online discussion happening at the time. Although comprehensive advanced maths skills are not essential to being an influential or inspiring ecologist, a good level of mathematical knowledge and understanding of statistical analysis is definitely necessary to create honest science and communicate the importance of your work to others.
But it’s not just ecologists who need mathematical common sense. Anyone who deals with, or is interested in science needs to understand the ambiguity of an average, or the difference between a regression and a correlation. In fact, anyone who cares about the society they live in should be aware how deeply statistics and data now influence the way we live – policies and decisions on anything from what product choices you find in retail stores to how much tax you pay are all based on data.
Have you noticed the wild flowers are becoming scarcer every year? It may be that their wise men have told them to depart till man becomes more human.
Nature doesn’t depend on Technology. There is not a single natural process or ecosystem that needs artificial technology to function or exist. But much of human society does rely on technology. It is surprising how much ‘artificial’ technologies are increasingly seen to be central to scientific research, by both scientists and non-scientists. This view is particularly mystifying in ecological science, which is arguably the least technological of the sciences.
Here’s an educational piece I had published on “scientific evidence” – that infamous term that so many politicians and corporations throw about, but so few actually explain to their audience! If someone tells us they have scientific evidence to back up their new product or proposed political decision, how can we trust the evidence they are referring to?
This piece aims to give a brief background on how research works, for those who aren’t familiar with the ins and outs of the industry. It also presents some questions to think about that may be of help to those wanting to check the facts themselves.
Public conversations conducted in the peer-reviewed literature recently indicate that many of the eco/biological concepts and terminology developed over recent decades have become lost in a minefield of public misunderstanding and policy pandering – often to the detriment of the causes they were intended for.
Catchphrases or concepts developed specifically to raise awareness about a particular issue, such as the keystone, umbrella and flagship species concepts (see Barua 2011), have been overused or misused in the public domain for too long. Some scientists now believe these concepts and catchphrases, developed for beneficial environmental outcomes, have the potential to negatively affect their relevant causes. For example, recent comments highlight the over-emphasis of the “biodiversity” agenda, at the expense of recognising nature as a whole-earth ecosystem (Woodwell 2010); the mixed messages provided by recent studies apparently endorsing the biodiversity value of logged “degraded lands” – landscapes that were previously identified as biologically inhospitable in the literature (Didham 2011); and the potential for terminology from the field of restoration ecology to “create unrealistic expectations and perverse policy outcomes” (Hobbs et al. 2011).
To be fair, the science community is not solely to blame. Public misinterpretation of scientific concepts is fuelled mainly by scientifically illiterate journalists and limited general science education among the non-scientific public. These problems can be solved through changes to education curricula and social constructs, all of which are often beyond the realm of the scientist. | 2019-04-25T22:06:27 | https://ecologyisnotadirtyword.com/tag/scientific-literacy/ |

SKB Instructors’ Quick Finish / Paint Off & Auction – One of the highlights of the SKB Workshop is the annual Instructors’ Quick Finish that they conduct where all of the instructors create a work of art in about an hour. This is always a wonderful and often chaotic public event, held in the large open main room at the Headwaters Art & Conference Center. With more than a dozen instructors, a hundred or more artists attending the workshop, and many visitors from Dubois and the general art loving public in Wyoming.. the event has become a celebrated event. Visitors and artists can wander about the room watching each instructor create their own artistic magic in whatever medium they choose. It’s a wonderful time to study the masterful skills & techniques these artists possess. And then in the evening they can bid/purchase the various works of art that they actually watched being created earlier in the day. All in all this has become a major feature of the SKB Workshop.
The artwork auctioned off from the masterful creative efforts of this talented group of artists then helps fund the many Educational Art Programs that the Susan Kathleen Black Foundation is engaged in all over the country.

Nearly all self-hosted location tracking Android applications are based on server-client architecture: the one on the phone collects only a small points, if not only one, and sends it to a configured server. Traccar1, Owntracks2, etc.
While this setup is useful, it doesn’t fit in my static, unless it hurts3 approach, and it needs data connectivity, which can be tricky during abroad trips. The rare occasions in rural Scotland and Wales tought me data connectivity is not omnipresent at all.
There used to be a magnificent little location tracker, which, besides the server-client approach, could store the location data in CSV and KML files locally: Backitude4. The program is gone from Play store, I have no idea, why, but I have a copy of the last APK of it5.
I have an exported preferences file available7.
The syncthing configuration is optional; it could be simple done by manual transfers from the phone. It’s also not the most simple thing to do, so I’ll let the Syncting Documentation8 take care of describing the how-tos.
And the script itself - please replace the INBASE, OUTBASE, and BINGKEY properties. To get a Bing key, visit Bing9.
BINGKEY="get a bing maps key and insert it here"
Once this is done, the OUTBASE directory will be populated by .gpx files, one per day.
GpsPrune is a desktop, QT based GPX track visualizer. It needs data connectivity to have nice maps in the background, but it can do a lot of funky things, including editing GPX tracks.
Keep it in mind that the export script overwrites the GPX files, so the data needs to be fixed in the SQLite database. | 2019-04-25T02:48:23 | https://petermolnar.net/location-tracking-without-server/ |

Crypterium Reviews - Is it a Scam or Legit?
Crypterium is a cryptocurrency banking app for Bitcoin and Ether customers that enables crypto owners to use their currency to pay for things wherever contactless payments are accepted.
Crypterium is a cryptocurrency “bank” whose Android app lets you pay for things with your Bitcoin or Ether just like you would with cash.
The company solves a problem many crypto owners face: using their crypto to buy stuff. You see, most retailers only accept cash via actual money, debit cards or credit cards. You can’t walk into your local Papa Johns and swipe your Bitcoin card to pay for stuff.
Exactly how Crypterium helps you make purchases with your crypto is something we’ll get into in a few minutes.
The company’s team of founders include Vladimir Gorbunov, Gleb Markov, Austin Kimm and Steven Polyak. Between the four of them, the founders have backgrounds in a variety of industries including lending, mobile payment technology, peer-to-peer selling apps and payment services.
Now, with all this being said, we know that cryptocurrency is still kind of a new idea for most American consumers.
According to a Dec. 2017 Yahoo Finance article, about 5% of Americans buy and sell bitcoin frequently. This stat doesn’t represent all crypto owners because there are many different currencies out there and those who own them aren’t all traders.
Either way, there are not that many people who’ve taken the time to understand crypto outside of what the headlines say. So, as we discuss what Crypterium offers, we’ll sprinkle in some explanations about cryptocurrency.
Another note: We spoke with Austin Kimm, one of Crypterium’s founders, to get a clear understanding of exactly what Crypertium does, what goes on behind the scenes when you’re making purchases and the fees you’ll be charged.
Pro tip: The company’s app can only be used at stores that accept contactless payment.
As we mentioned in the beginning of the article, Crypterium is a “bank.” The reason we put “bank” in quotes is that it’s not a bank that you’d go to and make deposits and talk with someone about getting a loan for a car. Nor is it like an online bank you can use to pay bills and make direct deposits.
What Crypterium offers is an online wallet for your Bitcoin or Ether, two of the most popular types of cryptocurrency. Wallets are individual accounts where you can buy, sell and store your cryptocurrency. Each transaction is encrypted by virtually unbreakable keys that are specific to your crypto buys.
Your wallet is, in a general sense, like a checking account at a bank because the cryptocurrency in your wallet can be used to make purchases. The difference, of course, is that you’ve got crypto in your wallet and not cash.
Most retailers aren’t set up to accept cryptocurrency for payment. If they did, there’s a good chance that payments would take a long time to clear and you’d pay some hefty fees for using Bitcoin, for example.
So, Kimm told us, Crypterium found a way around that by taking advantage of the way that cash payments are processed.
How Does Crypterium Process Crypto Payments?
This question is the most important one because it’s what makes Crypterium a useful tool for people who are moving away from fiat currency (paper money/change) and toward cryptocurrency.
We’re going to explain how transactions work and how the company is using the current system to process crypto.
So, when you head to Apple to buy an iPhone case, Kimm said, you swipe your card or insert your chip to make a payment. From there, the company who runs the card reader sends the information to your bank, at which point the bank checks your account to see if you have enough money.
When your bank verifies that there’s enough money to pay for the case, it clears the transaction and sends the money to the retailer. What most people don’t know is that the payment actually makes it into the retailer’s pockets up to a full two days after you swiped your card.
Crypterium integrated their payment processing into this existing system.
When you go to the Apple Store and buy a $30 case for your iPhone, instead of the transaction info going to a bank, it goes to Crypterium.
They check your crypto wallet to make sure you’ve got money in there and, when they verify you do, they clear the transaction and send the money to your retailer.
This step is the crucial one because it’s where the magic happens. You see, your wallet has crypto but Crypterium is paying the transaction with cash. How do they do that?
Well, according to Kimm, Crypterium pays with cash for whatever it is you bought. At the same time, they withdraw the USD equivalent of the cryptocurrency you’ve chosen to use for payments.
So, Apple gets the $30 from Crypterium and Crypterium withdraws $30 worth of Bitcoin or Ether from your wallet.
Need to return that case? No problem, Kimm said. Since Apple sees the transaction as cash, you’ll get cash for your return.
Also, you can choose which crypto you want Crypterium to use to make payments.
Crypterium’s Rates and Fees: How Does Crypterium Make Money?
The general idea of how Crypterium works is pretty simple even if you’re new to cryptocurrency. Things get more complicated, though, when you get into how Crypterium makes money.
The first and most basic way they earn cash is by charging you 0.5% for every transaction you make. If you walk into Best Buy and purchase a $1,000 TV, you’ll pay a $5 fee. A $100 monitor will cost you $0.50.
This 0.5% fee is the only real fee that you’ll be charged. However, that doesn’t mean that Crypterium transactions won’t cost you anything else.
Remember how we said that Crypterium buys your crypto in amounts equivalent to the dollar amounts you spend? Well, that little transaction is basically a currency exchange, kind of like how you go to an exchange booth to convert dollars into a foreign currency.
There are dozens of cryptocurrency exchanges that assign a dollar value to a particular cryptocurrency. One cryptocurrency – Ether, for example – will have slightly different values depending on the exchange you check.
Kimm said they consult multiple exchanges to calculate the average value of your coin which, in most cases, will be lower than what Crypterium could sell it for. This, Kimm said, is another way that they make money.
Based on what he told us, there shouldn’t be a huge difference in price. Since Crypterium is processing thousands of transactions each week, even the slightest profit on the sale of one Bitcoin or Ether is multiplied many times over.
The most obvious advantage of Crypterium is that you can use your crypto to pay for groceries, gas and other things you purchase on a daily or weekly basis. But, aside from this clear advantage, you also have other beneficial ways to use Crypterium.
Say you wanted to sell off some of your cryptocurrency but fees on most of the exchanges make it an expensive proposition. Crypterium provides a way to sell off that crypto through everyday purchases.
The downsides to the app are that your wallet is limited to Bitcoin and Ether and that you have to pay a fee every time you buy something.
Keep in mind, though, that those fees are only a bad thing if they’re more expensive than what it would cost to convert your crypto into cash via an exchange site like Coinbase.
If, however, you’re going to pay higher fees to turn your crypto into cash, then what Crypterium charges for transactions is probably a bargain.
Another downside is that the app is only available for Android phones.
We also believe that the app is hampered by the fact that conctactless payment isn’t quite universal yet in the U.S. Many big retailers feature POS systems that require swiping or inserting a card.
Is Crypterium a good fit for you? If you’re someone who owns Bitcoin or Ethereum and you’re looking for a secure way to make purchases with your crypto, then Crypterium definitely offers an interesting option.
If you don’t own any crypto but you’re interested in learning what it is and how it works, take a few minutes to read through our guide to cryptocurrency. We talk about when and why Bitcoin started, how crypto and transaction security and the safety of the various exchanges where you go to buy, sell and trade crypto.

For years now, Skidmore’s Business Department has received a multitude of salutary publicity. The local headlines and even a one-time feature story in SAVVY magazine have all been understandable. Through the past eight years the department has overhauled its curriculum and has grown by approximately forty percent in the process. A decade ago one could obtain credit for courses as typing and shorthand. Presently, Business students are required to undergo often painstaking courses that use Harvard Business School graduate materials. Over the past two years the department has graduated twenty-five percent of the senior class; considering that, Business has become the largest department of Skidmore College. In all this growth, however, the Business department has not gone without its share of problems.
John Ramsey, Dean of Academic Advising, member of the Curriculum Committee, and Asst. Professor of English was asked what he thought of the friction between the traditionalist and pro-business line of philosophy at Skidmore. “There is a long historical rivalry in America between the the world of affairs and the ivory tower. It’s like Ichabod Crane, the story of the school teacher vs. the working man. The tension at Skidmore is nothing new.” Ramsey continued by saying, “A liberal arts college should be centered on the pursuit of worldly ideas, but there is certainly something for the practice of daily livelihood, and the two can work together.” Why, then, has the Business department taken such a minute role on the liberal studies program?
Mrs. Balevic’s explanation of the department’s slow beginning in LS may have been compounded by the department’s inner turmoil. The previous chairman, William Greene, was one of the five professors to leave, and Mrs. Balevic will only serve as chairperson for the 85-86 academic year. Currently Skidmore is advertising for a new chairperson, the turmoil in leadership, however, may have caused a bit of departmental despondency and disconcertion.
When confronted with the old issue of “Does Business belong at a liberal arts college?” Mrs. Balevic replied, “Yes, there is a big demand for Business professionals who have been educated by the liberal arts as well as Business. We have taken a while to understand that the two schools of thought must interact. When I first came to Skidmore, I waived the flag solely for Business. I now believe in more interdisciplinary courses.” Mrs. Balevic noted that the Business department has recently worked in conjunction with the departments of American Studies, Psychology and Sociology in hopes for a lace of new courses.
Disdain for the Business department may, in part, be due to the Business professors who pursue other endeavors. Some Business professors work for other employers or themselves outside of the classroom. There are factions on campus which view this as not a total dedication to teaching. Mr. Ramsey called this problem “a double-edged razor.” Ramsey exclaimed, “We are happy these professors are acquiring more experience -their work allows them to to keep current with the trends of Business. On the other hand, problems occur when the professor becomes unavailable for assistance outside of the classroom.” Mrs.
An article on Charles Corddry, above, and Marion Corddry will appear in next week’s edition of the Skidmore News.
Vityal Yurchenko, a KGB agent who defected from the Soviet Union in August of this year, announced on November 4th that he would be returning to his homeland “as soon as possible.” At a news conference held that afternoon at the Soviet Embassy, Yurchenko told stories of being tortured and drugged after having been kidnapped while in Rome to be brought to the United States where he was then held prisoner by the CIA. American officials, however, refute these tales as mere lies and add that Yurchenko had defected to the West three months ago and has been revealing secret information since that time. Senator Dave Duremberger of Minnesota, chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said Mr. Yurchenko signed a statement requesting asylum in the United States. The former agent proceeded to tell of a different contract he had been encouraged to sign that issued to him one million tax-free dollars on November 1 and an annual sum of $62,500 in the later years of his life in return for his silence and helpful consultations. In combination with other payments he said were promised, by the end of his secretive career, Yurchenko would be the recipient of an annual $180,000, which is more than the Presidential pension. The State Department can only assure the public that Yurchenko defected of his own will and was more than cooperative with the CIA and the FBI in the exposing of Soviet information.
The main concern in Washington at this time is the validity of Yurchenko’s defection. There are two theories circulating the area, one that Yurchenko, as a family man, simply became homesick and reevaluated his decision of defection. The second and more threatening to the United States’ security is that the Soviets sent Yurchenko into the American governing system to create a scam that would discredit the Administration’s human rights campaign at the Summit Talks. Further speculation suggests a Soviet plan to shock and embarrass the U.S. intelligence system and implant Yurchenko as a double agent. The Intelligence of the States commented on the more than opportune time for a scandal of this sort to take place, as Reagan and Gorbachev are scheduled to meet at the end of this month to negotiate toward the settlement of the Nuclear Arms Race.
In support of the theory that the Yurchenko incident may have been staged are two other recent cases of defectors having second thoughts. The first, briefly mentioned by the President, is the case of the Soviet soldier who sought asylum in the United States Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. More recent and relative to the issue is the incident of this past October. Soviet sailor Miroslav Medved jumped into the Mississippi River from a Soviet freighter, apparently to apply for political asylum. However, he was returned to the ship by Border Patrol against his will. A few days later, Medved was removed from the ship and was interviewed by the State Department. At this point, however, the 22-year-old Soviet repeatedly asked to be allowed to return to the Soviet Union. Various congressmen were outraged by the poor handling of this situation and have requested that President Reagan prevent the departure from U.S. waters of the ship, enabling the sailor to reevaluate his decision. Reagan has stated that the issue is closed as far as he is concerned; a possible reason for his lack of compassion may be the situation’s effect upon the scheduled arms talks.
It seems the United States has had previous problems in dealing with Soviet defectors. In 1964, KGB officer Yuri Nosenko sought asylum in the United States. He was kept in solitary confinement for four years and was continually interrogated by counter intelligence officers in order to determine the validity of his defection; similar to this most recent defection conflict, officials were wary of the possibility of a Soviet implantation of Nosenko as a double agent. Eventually, Nosenko was proven to be a sincere defector. The unfortunate incident is very much a poor reflection on the United States governing system which claims to be humanistic and righteous. | 2019-04-22T03:02:03 | http://digitalcoll.skidmore.edu/cdm/ref/collection/p15968coll1/id/1269/ |

Kastle’s highly anticipated self-titled debut album Kastle drops today, April 23, on his label Symbols Recordings. The album features Kastle’s dynamic signature sound: a forward-thinking fusion of garage, house and bass music with R&B-style melodies from Ayah Marar, JMSN and many more. Listen to three album tracks — “Things We Can Do” ft. Reva DeVito, “Red Light” ft. Ayah Marar and “Make You Stay” ft. JMSN — on his mix for Skrillex, Diplo and A-Trak’s electronic music network Potato Will Eat You here.
Featuring 15 tracks, Kastle provides soulful, bass-infused music full of ethereal atmospherics, catchy vocal melodies, garage and house-inspired rhythms, and what has become the voice of Kastle: keyboard solo, which he will take on his first ever live tour of North America this May (see dates below). With Earmilk describing “Make You Stay” ft JMSN as “smooth as silk” and “Red Light” ft. Ayah Marar seeing play on KCRW, Rinse.fm and BBC Radio 1, Kastle is set to continue elevating his unique take on electronic music to otherwordly heights.
Kastle, who recently made his Coachella debut, is the tastemaking label boss behind Symbols Recordings. Last year, his track “Stay Forever” from the eponymous EP reached the iTunes Top 10 Best Electronic Songs of 2012, and he embarked on his highly successful ‘Stay Forever’ tour across North America, and into Australia and New Zealand. Kastle has garnished strong media attention from the likes of XLR8R, Resident Advisor, URB, MTV Hive, Fact Magazine and more. | 2019-04-25T12:27:50 | https://1200dreams.com/new-music-kastles-debut-album-out-today-may-live-tour-dates/ |

Hello, hello! It’s Rebecca here today and I can’t believe how close we are to Christmas! I know it’s still 6 weeks away, but that 6 weeks goes by so fast! For me, so many things get lost in the holiday hustle, so this year I’m making more of an effort to not let that happen. I don’t do too much in the way of scrapbooking, but every now and then, something extra special transpires, and I’ll want to remember it (and my feelings about it) forever.
Last December, I was buried in work and trying to meet deadlines and my kids were driving me crazy! I think they were arguing, then wrestling, then arguing, then high-pitched screaming. I finally separated them and told them to do something creative. My then-7-year-old son took it upon himself to write a letter to Santa Claus and when he showed it to me later that night, my heart melted. I held onto this letter all year and as the kids have been talking about starting their letters to Santa early this year, I pulled it out and decided this was just the sort of thing I wanted to remember.
I scanned the original letter into the computer and shrunk it down just a bit with photo editing software, then re-printed it. I did this because I wanted to make it a little smaller to work with my 12×12 patterned paper, and because I had the idea that I wanted it to be sticking out of an envelope.
How awesome is it that I could make my own envelope, in the size I wanted to use, with my 1-2-3 Punch Board?! I could have used a boring long white envelope, but this way, I also got to use the patterned paper I wanted.
I followed the easy directions to create an envelope that was 4” W x 8” L from some Crate Paper Fa La La paper. After assembling the envelope, I made an extra fold to the bottom flap, simply folding the top portion over to create a lower, flattened opening rather than the taller, pointed version. This also allows for the addition of some extra embellishments in that space.
I backed the letter copy with red cardstock and slid it into the envelope, tucking various die cuts into the front of the envelope for more color.
Texture and dimension are often a key design element in whatever I’m creating, and that was no different here. I ruffled gold and white crepe papers along the sides of the back of my letter/envelope ensemble, as well as scraps of gold crepe along the top and bottom edges. Then I adhered it all to the green buffalo check base paper.
Because this is a holiday layout, I thought it would be apropos to include a glittery ribbon bow and a tassel, both of which were easily made with We R Memory Keepers tools—the Bow and Tassel Looms, respectively.
Like I mentioned, I don’t do too much scrapbooking or memory keeping, but every time I do, I remember how fun and satisfying it is. Just as I will get sentimental looking back at this page years from now, I’m sure my son will enjoy it, too…but I doubt it will make up for the fact that Santa did not bring him a puppy that Christmas! | 2019-04-26T10:43:59 | https://wermemorykeepers.wordpress.com/category/layouts-2/ |

Sandpaper Suit | Matt Ruby's comedy blog: Oscar Wilde on fashion, etc.
Oscar Wilde on fashion, etc.
Oscar Wilde quotes. Like this: "And, after all, what is a fashion? From the artistic point of view, it is usually a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months." Or: "Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast." I like people who did standup before standup was a thing.
Related: Thinking like a comic: Fran Lebowitz, Steve Albini, Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, etc.
I, unfortunately, came after stand-up was "a thing." I would still be here if stand-up wasn't a thing. Time will sort those who mean it from those who don't. | 2019-04-22T00:01:21 | http://www.sandpapersuit.com/2013/08/oscar-wilde-on-fashion-etc.html |
which players, past and present, do you think have high IQs, were very well read and knowledgeable, with high intelligence. Not talking about BBIQ here, just overall IQs?
Granger has a degree in civil engineering. I dont know if you necessarily equate that with intelligence, but its worth noting.
The first guy that immediately comes into my mind is Shane Battier. He's extremely well spoken.
Without a doubt it has to be Wilt. The man created calculus, threw a apple from kansas to Newton's head, created stats, and wrote the book called the boy who cried wolf. | 2019-04-24T12:36:47 | http://insidehoops.com/forum/printthread.php?s=dc2a496555906900aaaae6dfe1af3732&t=308529 |

With more than 99% of all claims resolved, the Independent Assessment Process (IAP) is winding down. The IAP Oversight Committee has determined that December 1, 2018 is the last day for first claimant hearings to be held.
About one quarter of the remaining unresolved claims are estate claims. All estate claims have a pre-hearing teleconference before a witness hearing is scheduled. The primary purpose of the teleconference is to assess whether there is sufficient evidence for the claim to proceed to a hearing.
In order to move the remaining estate claims to completion, adjudicators will schedule all necessary estate pre-hearing teleconferences within the next few months.
I have instructed all adjudicators to produce their decisions on whether each estate claim will proceed to hearing by no later than September 30, 2018. In this way, hearings can be scheduled to occur on or before December 1, 2018 for any estate cases that are found to qualify for a hearing. | 2019-04-18T12:23:01 | http://iap-pei.ca/notices-counsel-eng.php?act=2018-06-28-eng.php |
Space Exploration Technologies Corp. plans to launch several Iridium communications satellites Jan. 8 from Vandenberg Air Force Base near Lompoc, signaling a rebound from the failed Falcon 9 rocket launch in Florida in September.
An accident investigation team determined that the September launch failure was likely due to an accumulation of oxygen or a void in the buckle of the liner, the company said on Jan. 2.
The $200 million Facebook satellite that was destroyed in the September explosion would’ve brought the Internet to underserved parts of the developing world. | 2019-04-24T20:54:06 | https://www.pacbiztimes.com/2017/01/03/vandenberg-afb-to-launch-iridium-communications-satellites-jan-8/ |

He was on the Board of HTO for 12 years, then took a break to head up a number of environmental non-profit organizations focusing on ocean policy, environmental policy and solutions and marine energy technology development. Charles gives us strong guidance, and we’re glad to have him back!

As Heal the Ocean’s Operations Coordinator, Alison Thompson is responsible for keeping our office running smoothly and assisting on policy research and advocacy. Growing up in Huntington Beach, California, Alison has always been an ocean lover and conservation activist. As a young girl, she developed a passion for saving her local wetlands and all the plants and animals that depended on it to survive. Her immersion in the natural world and her goal to enact environmental change inspired her to earn her Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies with an emphasis in marine science and policy from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Alison has spent the last two years working with non-profits in Washington, D.C. and with research labs in Santa Barbara to create more awareness and appreciation for marine conservation. In her free time, Alison can be found with her dogs at the beach or tidepooling.

James received a B.A. from UC Santa Barbara in political science and environmental studies with his senior thesis focusing on climate change. A Santa Barbara native, James enjoys spending his free time playing ultimate Frisbee, swing dancing, and just hanging out with friends.
Ruston Slager has been with HTO since the beginning days, and in fact can be credited with “starting” the organization, because he organized the public demonstration on the steps of the County Administration Building after Hillary’s “Genesis” article came out, lamenting the problem of Santa Barbara beaches being closed because of pollution. You will always see Ruston alongside Ava Everett at public events where HTO is involved – Earth Day, the Harbor Festival, and of course our own events. Ruston instructs adults and children with learning and developmental disabilities in community and school settings. He is a local musician and landscape artist.
Heal the Ocean (HTO) was formed in August 1998 in Santa Barbara, California, in response to the closing of local beaches due to bacteria. Its original organizers are Hillary Hauser, a journalist who has covered marine topics – both internationally and in Santa Barbara – for over 40 years, and Jeff Young, a practicing attorney in Santa Barbara who once owned an oyster farm that was polluted out of business in the late 1980s. It is a citizens’ action group that began with Hauser’s newspaper editorial, published in the Santa Barbara News-Press on August 9, 1998, called “Another Day at the Beach?” The piece prompted a huge outpouring of emotional support and calls for action within the community. In response, a public demonstration took place at the Santa Barbara County administration building on August 27, 1998 in support of clean waters and clean beaches, with this community outcry giving rise to Heal the Ocean.
In our early years HTO tackled the septic systems at Rincon, a world class surfing area in Santa Barbara County. We were the first environmental organization in the county to do DNA testing in the environment in order to identify the origins of contamination. While bureaucrats and the public alike argued about the sources of pollution at Rincon, HTO raised $36,000 for this DNA study, and the results were conclusive…the pollution in the Rincon Lagoon was attributable to humans.
After countless hours of advocacy and support by Heal the Ocean at key stages of the project over fifteen years, the South Coast Beaches Communities Septic to Sewer Project is complete, meaning that seven miles of Santa Barbara coastline are now free of septic systems.

The state Department of Human Services (DHS) has posted for public comment a draft proposal for a demonstration project that would integrate healthcare services for clients enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid.
Approximately 27,000 individuals in Hawaii are enrolled in the programs concurrently.
Clients enrolled in both programs currently receive Medicaid-covered services through Hawaii’s QUEST Expanded Access (QExA) program. Under the proposed demonstration, those same covered services will be combined with Medicare services, and delivered through the QExA health plans.
The integrated program creates a single, inclusive package of preventive, acute, pharmacy and long-term services that otherwise are covered by Medicare or Medicaid.
The primary goal of the proposed demonstration is to provide a coordinated, accessible and intuitive member-centric healthcare delivery system.
The expected cost savings generated from the integration would be shared between the State and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that administers Medicare and works in partnership with states to administer Medicaid.
To align with the launch of services under the new QExA health plan contracts, the DHS has set a target date of Jan. 1, 2014 to implement the proposed demonstration. Re-procurement for the QExA health plan contracts is expected to begin by the end of calendar year 2012.
The draft proposal for the demonstration will be posted on the DHS website for a 30-day period during which the public can submit comments. Comments received by close of business on Thursday, May 17, 2012 will be reviewed and incorporated as appropriate into the revised document. That document will be submitted to CMS for approval. | 2019-04-21T10:41:36 | http://www.hawaiifreepress.com/ArticlesMain/tabid/56/ID/6591/DHS-Proposes-Merging-Medicare-Medicaid.aspx |
Captain Bellendean of Bellendean has returned to Scotland to begin life on his estate. He has brought several people with him including the older Colonel Hayward. Helping with the festivities is Joyce, the village schoolteacher - an outgoing, popular girl of high intelligence. She is engaged to Andrew Halliday, the pedantic schoolmaster from the next village.
Colonel Hayward is shocked when he sees Joyce - who looks like his first wife, disappeared years ago while pregnant, and never traced. He soon learns from Joyce's history that her mother is dead, and that she must be his daughter. Almost overnight Joyce leaves behind her whole life to go with her father and his second wife to his home in England. Mrs Hayward perhaps intends to be a good stepmother to Joyce, but in fact is cold, and blames Joyce for not adapting easily.
This moving novel is the study of an identity crisis and a depression. Joyce has lost her former self-confidence and love of life; and even the attentions of Captain Bellendean, with whom she falls in love, may not be enough to bring her to herself. | 2019-04-18T14:24:49 | http://oliphantfiction.com/x0200_single_title.php?titlecode=joyce |
" My managers have always been very supportive."
Jim Eaton is a Territory Manager on our Microsoft Account. After 4 years in McCurrach he tells us what working life is like for him.
Since joining McCurrach 4 years ago I have been given so many opportunities to develop and grow with the business. I have been very fortunate to work in various teams within McCurrach and have been supported in my development throughout my varying roles. If I were to sum up working for McCurrach I would say I feel very secure and have had lots of opportunities and experiences that previous employers could not offer me. The company is growing and this will bring new opportunities. I am a strong believer that the harder you work the more you get out of it and this has paid off during my time with the company. My managers have always been very supportive and have encouraged me throughout my career to take the next step." | 2019-04-20T16:18:44 | https://www.mccurrach.co.uk/careers/working-at-mccurrach/jim-eaton/ |

Q: Why did you pick nursing?
A: I had a family member experience a trauma that required significant medical attention. It was in this time that I realised the impact that a nurse has on someone’s life.
When someone is sick or injured, often they have no control over what’s happening to them. I know first-hand how scary that can be for the individual and the people around them. Beyond the clinical care that nurses give, they are also the ones who can calm the situation. So I guess the caring element really appealed to me.
Q: What is studying at Charles Sturt University (CSU) like?
A: The course is amazing. I love it and couldn’t recommend it more. The course is so practical – the set-up is just like a real hospital. We are trained as if we are working with real patients from day one.
When I walked into my first practical (which was organised through the university), I realised how good the facilities on campus were – it was practically the same.
Q: What’s been an experience that you think is unique to CSU?
A: There are smaller classes so you have the opportunity to liaise with the teachers better than if there were big classes. Also, the simulation labs give us a lot of experience.
In the simulation labs, our manikins are programmed with real-life symptoms. They can have normal or abnormal blood pressure and heart rates, or abnormal sounds in the lungs like crackles and wheezing. So if they have pneumonia we can pick that up.
It gives you the experience of being able to practice all your skills and then utilise that in your placement. And it’s a safe environment for you to make mistake with your teacher’s support.
Q: What do you love about nursing?
A: Nursing is such a unique career and not just in the way that lecturers tell you about in your first week of university – where the possibilities are endless and that there are so many different paths nursing can take you – but in the actual nature of the work and the way it shapes and changes you as a person. You become emotionally mature – you learn how to cope with challenging situations – and you really get to help people.
Q: Do you have any advice for future students?
A: I’d recommend going to university over a TAFE degree or private college because at university you graduate as a registered nurse (RN) rather than an enrolled nurse (EN).
An RN is able to think critically and assess patient care need while an EN is trained for practicality. For example, an RN can administer drugs, an EN can’t. There is a greater earning potential as an RN.
In saying that, if you are an EN you can do a pathway straight into second year nursing at CSU and graduate as an RN.
Our Footnotes: The RN completes 3 years or equivalent of tertiary study in a Bachelor of Nursing, and the EN completes a 2-year or equivalent diploma of nursing within the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector: two very different sectors which produce two different types of nurses. | 2019-04-19T23:13:38 | https://thefootnotes.com.au/whats-a-bachelor-of-nursing-at-csu-like/ |

Fall has started and so has the season for colds and the flu. Perfect timing to start our introduction to day-care. It took a whole week before the little man started sneezing and his nose started running non-stop. I fell ill soon after. We are now going on three weeks, I can’t tell when one cold ends and the next begins.
Children fall ill more often than adults. Every mom and dad can attest to that. There are a few reasons for that. Firstly, viruses and bacteria can spread like wildfire in day-care. The inability to blow ones nose, cough into ones elbow paired with licking the same toys means constant spread of the disease inducing agents.
Secondly, the immune system of children is still being educated and improving. With each infection, the immune system is mounting a pathogen-specific response of T and B cells. The responding immune cells fight the invading pathogens and mount a immunological memory, which if the same invader is encountered again leads to a quicker response and elimination of the virus or bacteria before we fell sick. Adults have already had plenty of colds and therefore get sick less often.
Quite simple, but why did I get sick then?
The common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tracks. Unfortunately, we do not get immune to the cold, as up to 200 different viruses (and virus subtypes, called serotypes) can cause the disease. Most often rhinovirus serotypes are to fault, but coronaviruses and influenza viruses are also common causes. So it could simple be chance that I got ill – I hadn’t seen this specific virus serotype before.
Additionally, viruses tend to mutate quickly, changing their outside layer, thereby hiding from the immune system. So while you may have already had immunity against this virus, it may have changed and you get ill again while your immune system mounts a new response and memory. This is also why you should get the flu vaccine every year. The vaccine is predicting the mutations occurring on the influenza virus this year in order to protect us.
Lastly, sorry moms, but things like stress and sleep-deprivation – a common side effect of motherhood- increases your chances of getting ill as it weakens your immune system.
Can I prevent getting ill?
Difficult. Statistics say that adults get 2-3 colds a year and children 6-8. But by looking out for hygiene – washing your hands and so on, and eating healthy (lots of vitamins) to keep your immune system happy you may dodge the odd one. Sleep would also do wonders, but suggesting more rest to a new mom is just mean.

The U.S. Department of Justice is playing a dirty game in its effort to get its hands on email and web visit data on American citizens.
In theory, the gambit is part of a probe of the “development, planning, advertisement, and organization of a violent riot” on Inauguration Day.
But the government’s digital fishing exhibition is not limited to violent demonstrators. It’s aimed at over a million people who visited the www.disruptj20.org website.
This violates their First and Fourth amendment rights, according to lawyers for DreamHost, the web hosting service fighting the DOJ in court.
Many probably did not even attend the protestors--not that there would have been anything wrong if they had: They would have been exercising their constitutional rights. Yet they could now face harassment and exposure.
Last month, The DOJ asked the Washington, DC Superior Court to order DreamHost to comply with a wide-ranging search warrant pertaining to the disruptj20.org site.
This would have amounted to handing over roughly “1.3 million visitor IP addresses to the government, in addition to contact information, email content, and photos of thousands of visitors to the website,” wrote a broad coalition of groups that support DreamHost in a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Then the DOJ backed off — a bit. In a revised filing, driven by “mounting public pressure,” as DreamHost alleged, it dropped its request for visitor logs, and for any data subject to the Privacy Protection Act. And it reduced the time frame to the period between July 2016 through Inauguration day.
The danger? That “the information yielded by this demand could allow the government to identify individuals engaged in constitutionally protected speech and dissent, as well as members of the news media and the public who simply participated in meetings or communicated with organizers whose email accounts are affiliated with the J20 website,” the coalition argues.
Despite that eloquent plea, the Superior Court approved the altered DOJ request last week. We assume this isn't the end of it,.
So much for the revised warrant.
Dig back into the murky history of direct marketing, and you’ll find several attempts by the government to use personal data for enforcement. Most of them were laughable.
For example, there was a scheme in which the IRS bought marketing data from an unnamed supplier. The logic was that if people lived in an affluent zip code, their tax returns better reflect that prosperity.
It didn’t work, and it led to a national uproar. The IRS had to back off.
Then there was the attempt to use mailing lists to uncover draft-age males. That blew up when some teenage boys signed up for free birthday ice cream sundaes under multiple names.
The ice cream birthday list was rented to the Selective Service, and the boys received draft registration notices under every one of those assumed names.
Later, a consensus developed among businesses and consumers that digital information in general is sacrosanct when it comes to the government.
Granted, this principle was eroded after 9/11. As former President Bill Clinton said, it should have been possible to head off the attackers based on behavior patterns they showed as documented in commercial databases.
That was easy to say in hindsight. As with any search warrant, however, there has to be what lawyers call 'particularity,' or specific probable cause.
Historically, consumers’ privacy fears have been largely focused on companies. As this and other cases prove, it’s the government that should concern them -- and we’re not just talking about the Trump administration, but about government in general.
So we’ll let the coalition sum it up.
Thanks to DreamHost, Google, Microsoft and all other companies fighting such incursions. | 2019-04-19T02:36:18 | https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/306606/email-enemies-list-the-us-still-wants-data-on-1.html |

On May 26th, 1934 the 1933/34 Century of Progress Chicago World’s Fair opened for it’s second year. Amongst one of the additions for this second season was the Ford Motor Company’s Pavilion that showcased Henry Ford and his company’s contribution to the production of the automobile. One of the attractions in the pavilion was the ‘Little Ford Theater’ which screened an ambitious industrial film entitled Rhapsody In Steel that symphonically showcased Ford’s Rouge River plant and it’s assembly line process.
The film, half of which was live action and the other half animated was produced by Audio Productions, featured a phenomenal musical score composed by Edwin E. Ludig, and was directed and animated by Francis Lyle Goldman (aka Frank Goldman). This epic film was in many ways the first of its kind and was considered by trades to be the best motion picture at the fair. The positive reception from the fair provoked Ford to lease it for theatrical and non-theatrical exhibition where it was well received in the United States and around the globe. Its success inspired a Technicolor remake by Audio Productions in 1939 for the Ford pavilion at the New York Worlds Fair, and also a few re-adaptions by its director Frank Goldman after joining the Jam Handy Organization in 1935. As contemporary viewers will observe, Rhapsody In Steel deserves more recognition then a brief footnote in film history and should be regarded in the same class as Disney’s The Skeleton Dance (1928), Flowers And Trees (1932), and other early sound films.
The exact production history of the Rhapsody In Steel is not currently known to the author and documentation (if any exists) is not available. Right now it can only be speculated by observing history pertaining to Audio Productions (aka Audio-Cinema) and the Ford Motor Company. Like many of Audio Productions’ industrial films, “Rhapsody In Steel” was not registered for copyright thus making the official release date somewhat of a mystery. However, as the 1933/34 Worlds Fair’s second season opened on May 26, 1934 it’s appropriate to assume that the film would have been first shown that day. Therefore production probably would have started in early 1934, if not earlier in 1933. Around the time Ford would have approached the studio, Audio Productions was just under five years old as it was established in 1929 by Frank Goldman selling his company Carpenter-Goldman Laboratories to Western Electric (a division of AT&T).
Early films produced by the studio consisted of internal industrial films for Western Electric and AT&T, externally sponsored motion pictures, educational films and also novelty films (such as the “Paul Terry Toons” Cartoons the studio produced). A number of these productions, such as the surviving 1932 industrial film “Man Against Microbe”, were highly received and gave the studio a respectable reputation. Looking at a few surviving Audio industrial films such as “Getting Together” (a 1933 cartoon where an animated character oversees the assembly of a telephone in stop-motion) and reading descriptions to the (lost as of 2018) “Musical Moods” symphonic travelogue series, one can imagine what Ford executives may have seen at theaters that attracted them to Audio Productions to sponsor a film that wasn’t the typical narrated documentary styled industrial film for their fair exhibit.
Rhapsody In Steel incorporated a number of characteristics from Audio’s earlier productions such as the “Musical Moods” series and Frank Goldman’s “Getting Together”, thus creating a unique film experience which beautifully put to use many of the studio’s talents. The film begins with a brief prologue of an automobile driving up to the camera and speaking to the audience. Unfortunately as of 2018 the prologue’s audio is missing, but judging by the superimposed footage of scenes from the Rouge River plant, one can speculate the automobiles’s dialogue having to deal with the concept of taking raw materials and transforming them into a Ford automobile through the assembly line process. Following the prologue, the opening title appears on screen, where Edwin E. Ludig’s musical score “The Rhapsody In Steel” begins and takes viewers on a triumphant, atmospheric saga showing the production of a Ford Sudan. The first half of the film uses beautiful cinematography by Leo Lipp and fancy editing techniques to highlight and pay tribute to the various assembly line workers.
The second half of the film is animated and chronicles an animated cartoon character, the ‘V8 Imp’, overseeing a Ford Sudan assembling itself in stop motion animation; the stop motion is animated by Frank Goldman and is similar to the type of animation he would produce for Jam Handy following his departure from Audio Productions in 1935. The entire film features no narration and uses only Edwin Ludig’s triumphant score The Rhapsody In Steel to describe the images. Ludig, an overlooked but outstanding film composer, uses music inspired from Wagner, Beethoven, Rossini, Zamecnik theatrical cues, and even the sounds heard at the Ford Rouge River plant. According to the Ford Pavilion souvenir booklet and a review by Motion Picture Herald, Ludig spent several weeks in the Rouge River Plant composing the music score to give it an industrial sound reminisce of the factory.
The film received raved reviews from the World’s Fair showings and was highly applauded when it went into theatrical and non-theatrical release domestically and internationally, following the fair. Motion Picture Herald credited the production as the fair’s most popular film, while Film Daily praised it in their June 22nd, 1934 issue as “THE BEST industrial Picture they had ever seen”. With the ending of the 1933/34 Worlds Fair Rhapsody In Steel was released theatrically by the Ford Motor Company and also Al Bondy Incorporated (a distributor of industrial films and B-movies through the states rights system); The Al Bondy release was edited down to 15 minutes and included an additional scene that depicts the animation sequence being dreamed by a Ford worker. Despite the changes, the film still continued to be well received as can be seen with Film Daily’s review that described the Bondy release as a “distinct novelty and one that should create comment no matter where played” and praised Leo Lipp’s “unique and striking” cinematography.
It’s not known when theatrical screenings of The Rhapsody In Steel ceased, however it may have been around the time of the 1939 World’s Fair as it was updated by Audio productions, in Technicolor, for the 1939 Ford Pavilion. (The remake was “Symphony In F” which attempted to outdo it’s superb 1934 predecessor; this will be discussed in a couple of weeks.) While theatrical exhibitions halted, non-theatrical releases continued for school use well into the Post-World War II era and was shown to shop classes and also to music classes (with a focus on Ludig’s score). Eventually, like many industrial/educational films, it was phased out and unintentionally obscured. Today as of 2018, it is unheard of to many professors, students, and historians of film history and filmmaking.
A special thank you to Ray Pointer and Rick Prelinger for their research assistance.
Next Week: We’ll take a look at two films that were apparently Frank Goldman’s unofficial re-makes of “Rhapsody In Steel”… For Chevrolet!

The $2.5 million innovative addition to Memorial Hermann Northeast opened in February and has since been the site of more than 2,500 surgeries.
The suite has been ideal for using specialized surgical techniques, like the pedal artery access technique. Pedal artery access can be used to help correct complications from peripheral artery disease (PAD) affecting the lower limbs. PAD, which can cause blockages in the arteries of the lower limbs, can lead to amputation if medical or surgical intervention isn’t immediate.
But local patients aren’t the only beneficiaries from the suite, which has been used as a classroom to demonstrate surgeries to visiting physicians on multiple occasions. This fall, Dr. Foteh presented on the different surgical approaches to lower limb arterial blockages to more than a dozen visiting physicians, including those from Arkansas, California, Colorado, Mississippi and South Carolina.
“The advanced technology in the suite allows us to better demonstrate specialized procedures and creates a great learning environment for those looking to enhance their surgical skill-set and knowledge base,” Dr. Foteh said.
The proximity of Memorial Hermann Northeast to Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport means surgeons can be at the hospital within an hour of arrival at the airport and back on their way home by the end of the day. Those surgeons can then begin the process of implementing what they’ve learned to help patients at their respective medical facilities.
“The addition of the suite has allowed Memorial Hermann Northeast to help so many patients from the surrounding area, as well as raise the profile of the hospital nationally among some top healthcare professionals,” said Heath Rushing, Sr. Vice President and CEO at Memorial Hermann Northeast. | 2019-04-23T04:31:48 | http://kingwoodconnection.com/201512161873/business-news/hybrid-surgical-suite-at-hermann-memorial-ne-making-a-difference |

There is a free hotel shuttle service that operates from 8am - 9pm. Get off at Town Hall and we are across the road and 1 shop down from Westpac next to the Happy Lemon.
A tram runs from outside the terminal to about 3 blocks from the motel. I can't recall the tram number or the exact stop closest to the motel, but I just asked around at the tram stop. As both the terminal and the motel are within the designated city center, tram rides are free.
Could you help to keep our luggage when we check out and back to collect them few days later?
Hello, of course you can! It'll be our pleasure. Just bring your luggage down between 8AM-8PM.
Hi, no, we do not have a safe in the room. | 2019-04-23T20:49:40 | https://www.tripadvisor.fr/Hotel_Review-g255100-d263522-Reviews-City_Square_Motel-Melbourne_Victoria.html |

Make your own homemade ginger beer. You'll need to start this recipe 8 days ahead.
You'll need a 20cm-square piece of muslin cloth.
Make Starter: Place yeast, sugar, ginger and warm water in a jar. Whisk with a fork to dissolve yeast. Cover with a tea towel. Set aside overnight at room temperature. Stir in 1 teaspoon extra sugar and ½ teaspoon extra ginger. Cover with tea towel. Stand overnight. Repeat process with remaining extra sugar and ginger for the next 3 days.
Make Ginger beer: Place sugar and 3.75 litres cold water in a large saucepan. Stir over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves. Stir in lemon juice.
Line a fine sieve with muslin. Strain yeast mixture (see notes). Stir into warm sugar syrup. Divide mixture among three 2-litre-capacity plastic bottles (see notes). Seal. Set aside in a cool place for 3 to 4 days. Refrigerate. Use within 2 weeks.
Keep the paste that's left in the muslin to use as another starter.
When filling bottles, leave a space of about 5cm from the top of the bottle to allow the ginger beer to expand. Use plastic bottles to prevent the bottles from breaking. Open the bottles every couple of days to ease the pressure build-up.
You could also serve the finger beer with a sprig of fresh mint for a lovely flavour twist. | 2019-04-25T02:55:42 | https://www.taste.com.au/recipes/ginger-beer-2/ed39d82a-2a14-4068-8ef9-54f9def837d5?r=recipes/pregnancy&c=1b8a0a9a-9f50-4850-acb1-970b94319b5b/Pregnancy |

While some residents in Grant Park, IL may be able to complete their own tree trimming work, this is not the situation with everyone. As simple as our professionals may make a tree care look, there are actually lots of ways to end up butchering a tree. Furthermore, when the tree matures and grows, you need to use power tools to get the job finished. The risk of injury also quickly comes into play when you are working with taller trees. After you start to see these safety threats and the cost of investing in the gear to start with, it is easy to understand why so many people turn to USA Tree Service Pros for their tree care and more. Do not risk ascending up your tree with a chainsaw to save a few bucks whenever we have a professional tree care business in Grant Park.
Pruners and shears are a couple of of the typical tools we use when doing stump grinding within the Grant Park, IL area. Both of these are used to make certain that we can work with different areas of the tree to ensure that it ends up with a thoroughly sculpted look. If you surveyed most people about the tools required to perform a tree removal, they would likely all respond by saying, “a chainsaw.” Although a chainsaw is utilized to cut the tree down, the roots that are buried deep underground do not mysteriously come loose when the tree hits the ground. This may result in a major problem if you wish to plant another tree in the same area, so we need to have them removed by using different tools, such as stump grinders. Chippers, cherrypickers, and different types of ladders will also be used during nearly all of our tree service procedures.
If you do not want to invest money into expensive tools and end up with a tree that looks as if it was cut in half, our tree care business in Grant Park, IL is a wonderful option. In addition to ensuring that the tree looks as stunning as possible, we also present the most affordable rates. If you want to learn more about our tree service or to receive a quote, give USA Tree Service Pros a call at 888-202-2007.

Tree trimming involves trimming up the limbs on your tree to make certain that they give the tree the most attractive appearance. The tree’s growth structure will be developed during our tree pruning processes. We recommend beginning the pruning process during the first year of the tree’s existence.
What is Tree Removal in Grant Park?
Sadly, all trees in Grant Park will either be destroyed in a storm or die at some point. In the course of our tree removal process, we can also remove the stump and pull the roots out of the ground, which are two treatments most people overlook.
An arborist is a tree service professional who has experience and training in utilizing a wide variety of tools. When it comes to understanding how to care for trees, these individuals are invaluable.
USA Tree Service Pros will make use of either ladders or bucket trucks at nearly every jobsite. More specifically, we will shape the tree using pruners and shears when doing tree trimming. To be sure the tree is cut down safely and efficiently during tree removal, we will use chainsaws and a handful of other tools. To get the tree stump out of the ground, we can use stump grinders when finishing a stump grinding job. We will also use chippers nearly every time we have to haul a tree away.
Absolutely, we have stump grinding, tree trimming and removal licensing and insurance within Grant Park. For details, examine a lot of our service areas: Grantville tree trimming. | 2019-04-25T21:41:45 | http://www.usatreeservicepros.net/tree-trimming-in-grant-park-il/ |
I booked Duster from Whitefield Renault Bangalore on 14-Jul-2012 and it was told that it would take 12 weeks for the delivery. Today, it is more than 8 weeks and there is no update on when my vehicle will be delivered. In between, I tried contacting the sales consultant for Accessories and other details, but there was proper response, and no update at all. Even if you call there is no proper response and the consultant looses his temper/patience and he speaks as though they are doing a favour for customer by taking a booking for Duster.
Now on the other hand, I tried reaching the customer care for Renault. I always get a standard response “We regret the inconvenience caused to you” and there is no real effort done to address the issue. On top of that they were not ready to share the ticket number, which was raised for No proper updates. At last I got the ticket number, for which I had to call them at least 4 times to get the number. They shared the ticket number and they are not in a position to tell that when I will get my allotment date.
After all these, I spoke to one of the person (who is supposed to be a sales Manager in Whitefield Renault) who told he will speak to his consultant and get back, I have not got any updates from him. Also, his expression was since the booking is a base variant and grey color, delay might be because of this.
If pre-sales are handled this way, god knows how afters sales/service will be offered to customer.
If they cannot deliver base variant with grey color, they should have a disclaimer mentioned that there will be special time taken to deliver the base variant.
I get a feeling that Renault had absolutely no planning on how will it deliver its bookings.
Their customer support requires another customer support to help them how to manage the situation.
Clearly lack of planning and they are taking customers for a ride, not on duster but with a messy system.
This is extremely bad to hear that.

Grandparents who help out with childcare would receive a €1,000 annual payment under plans outlined by Independent ministers in Budget negotiations.
The self-assessed payment would be available to all grandparents who care for their grandchildren for more than 10 hours per week.
In their first negotiations with Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe ahead of the Budget, Shane Ross’s Independent Alliance, which props up the Fine Gael-lead Government, called for its introduction.
It is being described as a “grandparent and grandchild expenses reimbursement scheme”, which could be worth a four-figure sum to those who help mind younger relatives.
Grandparents would apply for the payment through the Department of Social Protection – but would not be required to provide vouched expenses to receive the State cash.
Transport Minister Shane Ross said the scheme would give “serious recognition” of the important childcare role that grandparents play.
“The payment is aimed at recognising that grandparents allow young mothers and fathers re-enter the workforce by giving their children care they would not get anywhere else and which comes at no cost to parents or the State,” Mr Ross told the Irish Independent.
Mr Ross has been calling for the introduction of a payment for grandparents for the past three budgets but Fine Gael has resisted the move.
However, after the group’s meeting with Mr Donohoe, the Alliance specifically named the grandparent grant as a key demand for October’s Budget.
Mr Donohoe has committed to costing the proposal before his next meeting with the Alliance. Mr Ross said he would be “banging down” the Finance Minister’s door over his proposal in the coming weeks.
An Independent Alliance analysis, compiled before the last budget, estimated that almost 70,000 grandparents could be eligible for the grant, costing around €71m a year.
The Alliance has also called for the reinstatement of the €850 bereavement grant, which helps with funeral costs.
The group also told the minister to increase the VAT rate on price-gouging hotels. However, they want small hotel and restaurant owners along with the newspaper industry to be able to avail of the lower rate.
The group also looked for an increase in the threshold for inheritance tax and a hike in gambling taxes.
Super Junior Minister Finian McGrath called for greater investment in disability services. This includes increased funding for residential care places and speech and language services.
In a separate meeting with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, the Alliance demanded to be allowed free votes on contentious issues, such as legislation calling for a boycott of goods from Israel.
The Independent Alliance’s ‘Grandparent and Grandchild Expenses Reimbursement Scheme’ would be operated by the Department of Social Protection.
Grandparents who care for grandchildren for more than 10 hours a week, while their parents are in work, would submit a form to the department seeking payment to reimburse them for childminding expenses.
An Independent Alliance source said expenses could include petrol or food costs related to caring for grandchildren.
However, it is not expected that grandparents will have to provide vouched expenses to receive the State payment.
Similar schemes exist in other countries. In the UK, grandparents can top up their pension pots by applying for national insurance credits if they look after children aged under 12.
Around 100,000 grandparents in the UK are eligible for the scheme. | 2019-04-23T10:02:37 | http://thealphanews.com/e1k-granny-grant-proposed-for-grandparents-who-help-with-childcare-in-budget-talks/ |
This month has been filled with learning new things. At the beginning of the month I joined The Magic Box, an online art course and community that has proved to be an excellent resource not only with the courses but the attention and true critiques of my work in progress from fellow classmates. Hers is my first homework assignment. The purpose was to practice a new technique of coloring, creating forms with color and not brushes, and to create color comps before beginning your art project, planning out to minimize the problems later. We were asked to start by selecting a master painting and pair it with an animal. Here is my "Fox in Kimono".
My reference, “Yamatori” by Alfred Stevens, and very first sketch.
After receiving feedback I modified the paw, gave her hair and then I began the process of coloring. The assignment was to create 4 “color comps”. Working with your design before diving in with a brush allows you to plan and process your idea so that the finished work is much more intentional and thought out. It’s something that I intend to do much more of in the future.
Top left is the original colors from my reference painting and the following three were inspired from movies or photographs. The first color pallet (top right) from a photo of a purplish ocean at sunset, bottom left was from the movie “Oblivion” and the one beside it, taken from “Memoirs of a Geisha”.
Along with techniques to creating art I've been gathering a lot of ideas about creating, thoughts on what it means to be an artist. Here is what I've been learning, a few tips and thoughts.
Creating art takes dedication. The craft isn't something I can take casually anymore, not if I truly want to improve. It's more then passion or creativity. It's practice and perseverance. A stubbornness to keep going and never stop.
Create for myself. I recently met with a souvenir shop owner to see if they would be interested in selling some of my photography. This was a first for me since moving here to Japan. We spoke and I quickly gathered that my initial impression was incorrect and that they were not looking for another photographer to display work of. I was frustrated as I could see that my work was different than the current photographer displayed there, and frustrated to hear that my artistic photographs didn't sell well. She suggested that I "get my camera out" and start shooting infrared photography of the area. It was then that I had a choice, to cater to her specific clients and create new work or to keep creating for myself and you, my audience. It wasn't an easy choice and one that we all have to make. My personality is one that I feel an immediate need to please or cater to someone else's needs and it drains me. Saying "no" and sticking to what I've found truly makes me happy, what energizes me was a conscious choice. That doesn't mean that in time I may pick up the D70 and shoot infrared, but it does mean that when I do it will be on my own time and with my own vision.
Be accepting of critique. This follows right along with my above example. It's very healthy to learn to receive, and give, constructive criticism without getting your feelings hurt. I also think it takes a bit of talent to sort through the mediocre comments and accept some of the hard truths that maybe your work really isn't "there" yet. It is also just as important, when starting out, to find a safe and trusted environment to receive such critiques, a classroom environment or place like Chris Oatley's Magic Box community, for example. Don't give critique if it isn't asked for.Enough said. Don't do it.
References are essential to learning. I used to think that looking at several images to see what an unfamiliar animal or environment looked like felt a bit like cheating. Somehow I was supposed to conjure up these things without really knowing or understanding what they were and how they worked. I was so wrong. I love using references when I work and knowing that other, very very good artists and professionals use them as well has really allowed me to value references for what they are, tools to train and create. When I refer to references I'm referring to photographs, life and yes, even other artist's work. I think Will's video describes my thoughts perfectly.
My references for my “Fox in a Kimono” project.
A personal project, basic value studies & composition from photographs.
Bad drawings are ok. In fact they're good. You don't have to show the world them. They're yours to burn or keep and laugh about down the road. I didn't know this or take it to heart and there was always pressure to finish or correct a drawing. Leave it be and move on. | 2019-04-23T14:53:48 | https://www.naomivandoren.com/blog/learning-fox-in-kimono-project |
Over on Alas, a Blog, in a thread where the comments are limited to “feminists and feminist allies,” Barry Deutsch (Ampersand) deconstructs a speech by Christina Hoff Sommers, a leading critic of feminist orthodoxies (and a good friend of mine, though there are certainly times when we disagree). In particular, he takes her to task for saying that many feminists are anti-male.
Last month, I wrote about a proposed law in Russia that would make the definition of “treason” disturbing broad and vague, and reminiscent of Soviet-era statutes that outlawed dissent. As I explained, Russian law currently defines treason as “hostile actions intended to damage the security of the Russian Federation from foreign threats.” The bill, proposed by the government (i.e. the cabinet headed by Vladimir Putin), amended that definition to include “rendering financial, material, consultative, or other assistance to a foreign state, a foreign or international organization, or representatives thereof in activities directed against the security of the Russian Federation, including its constitutional system, its sovereignty, its territorial integrity and statehood.” The definition of espionage was also broadened to include broad categories of passing potentially sensitive information to foreigners even with no intent to commit espionage, giving rise to concern that the new law would drastically inhibit scientific contacts between Russia and the West.
A final brief report, for now, from the past weekend’s NAS conference.
On “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” Silver replied that “it’s not a compromise, it’s a question of political reality. It’s impossible to bring ROTC back to campuses without these changes, and if it was brought back by fiat, it would be illegitimate.” Next came the truly interesting part.
There has been some discussion of whether Obama will repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” At least judging by the NAS panel, such a move won’t meet much opposition from the military.
There was another fascinating question from the audience about whether the disconnect between the military and large segments of American culture — the fact that the career military is now strongly Southern and overwhelmingly politically conservative — should create a concern about “standing armies” as understood by the Founders. (In other words, an army that does not represent the population.) It seems to me that, in this sense, the absence of ROTC from campus should be more of a concern to the liberals but to conservatives. | 2019-04-22T16:48:15 | https://cathyyoung.wordpress.com/2009/01/15/ |

What is the difference between the WE208 and the WE208PB ??
BEST ANSWER: Sorry this is confusing and we should be updating this to be more clear. The WE208 is for the units that we have in stock now and can ship to you now. The WE208PB is to preorder that same item to ship starting in June but if we have units in stock we will contact you to see if you want the unit earlier.
Besides having to create a new plug off the breaker box to accommodate the plug, this puppy will meet most amateur/small scale commercial needs. The one trick to know is to make sure the grinder is turned ON before loaded fruit.
i bought this grinder 1 1/2 years ago and the late frost killed the apples. well the early apples are ready. so today i picked 7 six gallon pails of apples. i put them through the grinder for the first time.
i squeezed out 5 gallons of juice. more than expected. for the clean up, so easy. washed it with a garden hose. simple.
now i need to watch how many apples i pick . i wont have enough room to store all the juice.
The Grinder looks great, well built, strong motor.
The operating manual is nearly completely useless. The product comes with the cable but no plug which is nice you can adapt it to your set up but the least they could do is tell you which wires are positive, negative and ground (they are nonstandard colors) instead of having to use a tester to find out. I have found no helpful information online.
Agreed, we had the same issue here. In case anyone else has the same hangup, the device is looking for 240V across the blue and brown wires, with the green going to ground. On a NEMA 10-50 that means the center terminal (straight) is ground, and the blue and brown go to the two angled terminals. | 2019-04-19T06:45:13 | https://www.morebeer.com/products/speidel-motorized-apple-pear-crusher.html |
