Just bought this for my son, needs some work but is solid.
Nice one, that was fast, where did you find this?
Found it on ebay, rang them, arranged a viewing, did a deal. Job done!
Had running, then fitted electronic ignition - somethings not right as it won't start now! Nearly ready for MOT.
With regards the electric ignition, some of them allow the red and black wires to be connected the wrong way around and still be ok, but Mick fitted one to his bus a while back and we found out it had blown due to conecting the red to negative and black to positive by mistake.
Took beetle over to Bogg Brothers during the week for David to work his magic and breath life into the engine. Hopefully pick it up this week.
Beetle sorted full MOT and Tax (free) and now back home.
Just need to swap the generator for my alternator.
Also need to fit the new door cards and carpet set i bought at Dubfreeze.
And my son has decided he doesn't want a Beetle, so am thinking of selling it. | 2019-04-23T19:02:52 | http://vwsplitty.proboards.com/thread/2347/new-member-family |

He stands on a small sandy hilltop wearing a bright yellow t-shirt, cigarette in hand. He is calling out to the soldiers on the other side of the fence “Do not shoot, do not shoot. There are children and internationals here, do not shoot.” Thin white wisps of tear gas linger in the gentle breeze, a moment of calm in the confrontation. Suddenly a tear gas canister whizzes past the camera making an audible “clunk” as it hits something to the right. He tries to let out a scream, but all he manages is a stifled yelp. One can almost hear his breath being cut short as the projectile punctures his chest. Another muted scream of pain. He falls to the ground then jumps up quickly, running a few steps before collapsing again. His body rolls a few times as he hits the ground, his limbs flapping loosely underneath him. Two fellow demonstrators run to him, looking almost surprised and unsure of what has just happened. They turn him over, lifting his shirt and calling his name. But he is unresponsive. His eyes are open but his body lies motionless. His bright yellow shirt now quickly growing a wet red stain over his heart. And so the occupied people of Palestine sacrifice yet another one of their young men. Another one. Again. Just like that. In an instant. Caught live on camera for the world to see. Twenty-nine-year-old Basem Ibrahim Abu Rahme was later pronounced dead at Ramallah hospital on Friday 17 April 2009 after being shot in the chest with a high-velocity tear gas canister by an Israeli soldier. A faceless, nameless soldier who will likely never have to explain or account for taking the life of another human being. Basem posed no threat to the security of Israel as he stood atop that hill. He was not armed, nor was he throwing stones. Ironically, he was calling out to the Israeli forces to hold their fire because children and internationals were present, when he was shot. He was involved in a nonviolent demonstration when his own life was so violently taken. Basem is the 18th Palestinian to be killed in nonviolent anti-wall protests in the West Bank since 2004.
Residents in northern Strip fear expansion of IDF operation, flee Beit Lahiya homes to ‘safer areas'; many areas plunged into darkness; water, sewage systems breaking down.
Of course, the best method of controlling viewer views, is to block their sight, not allowing them to see what is not a good idea for them to be witness to, so they cannot develop an independent view. This is why blocking entry to reporters is the standard tool of control Israel uses in the Occupied Territories of Palestine. Without reporters, who could really say what actually took place? After all, Britain played the same game in the Falklands, and later, the USA and UK invented the ‘embedded reporters’ to avoid independent reporting. It works. | 2019-04-24T05:55:00 | http://haimbresheeth.com/gaza/category/blog/ |

More important than having a list of things you can do is having a resource of things you should know. We all know we should eat better and exercise more, but we don't. Every self-help book is filled with things we already know, and they are generally good tips, but they tend to give you tricks to overcome other temptations. These tricks can be helpful but in the long run they often fail.
Here I'll show you the basis for those tricks, I'll show you why they work and why they fail. Once you know this you will be able to set and stick to any goal with a higher likelihood of success.
- The time frame (short term or long term outlook) is the most important aspect of these predictions but we flip back and forth constantly without realizing it.
- The devil and angel on your shoulders (and the person behind the curtain) are more real than you realize.
- And they have different priorities, one is for the short term (the one that can't talk, the 'devil') and one looking at the long term, (the you, you identify with, the angel, the best intentions person you are).
- What really drives you is not rewards but the promise of rewards, it might not seem like a difference but it has huge consequences, you can end up chasing empty promises if you don't realize what's happening.
- Emotions play a greater role in the data collection than we realize, they are the way the autopilot bookmarks things that seem important.
- As mentioned above, the nervous system that is filtering all of the information coming at us through our senses acts fast and can't process words, so what does it do ... it communicates through things like 'gut feelings'.
- Emotions are like our 6th sense, they are signals from our automatic system alerting us of something.
- How to use the knowledge from above to navigate the self-help world and the tricks you can use to follow through on your good intentions i.e. To help you be the person you want to be, so to say.
After knowing 'why you do what you do' I'll cover external things you should know about.
- Why it seems that everything that tastes good is bad for you, and why everything you seem to want to buy has a petition against it claiming it will cause the end of the world? | 2019-04-19T22:30:59 | http://www.thestoryofstuffyoucando.com/know-old.html |

Hookworms are relatively common intestinal parasites of dogs, cats and other animals. Adult worms live in the small intestine, and their eggs pass out with the stool. Diagnosis is by identifying the eggs during microscopic examination of the stool.
Animals become infected with hookworms by eating infectious eggs or larvae, penetration of the skin or footpads by larvae, or transmission of larvae from the mother while the fetus is still in the uterus. The time from consumption of infectious larvae to the appearance of eggs in the stool is 15-26 days.
Hookworms are one of the most serious intestinal parasites, as they feed on the blood of their host animal and can cause severe anemia. In young, weak or malnourished animals, hookworms can cause sudden collapse and death. Older, more resistant dogs may suffer a slow, progressive wasting disease. Weight loss, diarrhea and tarry or bloody stools frequently occur in animals with hookworms.
4. Good sanitation is essential. Promptly remove all stools from the area where your pet is confined.
5. Control measures: Regular microscopic stool examinations are the best means of early detection of hookworm problems. Your pet's stool should be checked every ____ months. Products are available for treating contaminated dog pens, runs and tie-out areas. Discuss this with the doctor if your pet is kept in a confined area. In addition, heartworm preventive medications that also prevent hookworms and roundworms offer the surest method of hookworm control.
* Your pet is weak or depressed.
* Your pet is reluctant to eat, has diarrhea or vomits.
* Your pet has dark or bloody stools.
____A stool sample is requested. The sample should be the size of a quarter and less than 24 hours old. | 2019-04-22T17:56:11 | http://bobmckee.com/Client%20Info/Parasites/Hookworms.htm |

I don’t know the original source for this recipe, but it was referred to as a caterer’s delight. The prep is simple, and the wrapped breasts can be frozen, needing only to be thawed before baking.
Combine first 5 ingredients to make a sauce. Lightly sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Place a sheet of phyllo on working surface. Quickly brush/dab with melted butter (about 2 teaspoons) and place a second sheet of phyllo on top of the first. Brush again with melted butter. Spread about 1 1/2 tbsp of sauce on each side of chicken breast. Place breast in one corner of the phyllo sheets. Fold corner over breast, then fold sides over and roll breast up in the sheets to form a package. Place in an ungreased baking dish, or cookie sheet lined with parchment if you’re planning to freeze them. Repeat with remaining chicken and phyllo sheets.
Brush the packets with the rest of the melted butter and sprinkle with the cheese. If freezing, cover tightly, and thaw completely before baking.
Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve hot.
*If you’ve never worked with phyllo before, the most important thing is to keep the sheets covered with a damp (not wet!) towel to keep them from drying out before you use them. They can be cranky and tear, but it won’t affect the finished product, so don’t worry.

Discussion in 'Nikon DX DSLR Forum' started by TheHundreds, Aug 5, 2009.
So i have a D50 with 10k-ish actuations how much do you think i can sell it for because im planning to upgrade to a D300s.
Why a D300s? haha, im pretty dissapointed in it, and would never buy it, id just go for the D300 which is what im saving for now. . . but you could probably sell it for 150 body only, maybe a little less.
Search ebays completed auctions for a ballpark price.
I agree unless you need the Video why get a D300s?
They go for $200 to $300 in the Chicago area but for a couple hundred bucks I would keep it. I kept mine when I upgraded because it's still an awesome camera.
I would keep it. $200 bucks is not going to put a big dent in the cost of a D300s and you will like having a lightweight backup/on the go type camera.
I have been shooting with the same D50 for several years now. I still love it. I also have a D70. I find myself using the D50 much more often that the D70.
I agree with you keeping it, its an awesome light camera still and makes a fine backup camera. You bound to get more out of keeping it then selling it.
That's true, but like pgdsm said i need the faster frames.
I actually don't want a grip because i want a lighter camera. | 2019-04-26T10:28:41 | https://www.nikoncafe.com/threads/10k-acutuation-and-going.158465/ |

In the dressing room of the “Lipstick Lounge,” the Lady Javana “straighten[s] her wig” and “dab[s] lipstick from her teeth.” Lady Javana, we’re informed, is neither a man nor a woman, nor “a boy in a dress” nor “a female impersonator” (“what female wears glitter on her eyelids, pink beehives and six-inch heels?”—Quite a few do, as a matter of fact, but never mind).
No, in her own overdetermined estimation, Lady Javana is a queen. I’ve italicized the word since the author goes to such great lengths to emphasize it.
Which points to what I feel is wrong with this opening. Rather than present us with a character, instead the bulk of this first page is taken up with a series of terms and metaphors by which Javana either identifies his/her self, or that he/she refutes. What starts out promisingly as an evocative, concrete scene (“She had to plaster down those eyebrows with the glue stick, beat her face with the powder, chisel new features . . . with foundation and blush”) in which the particular (drag queen putting on makeup) stands for the general, breaks down into an exercise in denotation, such that, by the end of the page, what we’ve read feels more like a jacket blurb than a scene.
Lady Javana—who spent most of her days as Joseph Ryan Gainer, library assistant—hated the tired metaphor of the caterpillar and the butterfly, but could not dispute its relevance. Because the holometabolism of the butterfly was a complex transition. It was sticky, confusing and savage.
As prose this can’t be faulted, but the issue here isn’t so much whether or not the metaphor of the caterpillar transforming into a butterfly aptly conveys the experience of a drag queen. The metaphor may or may not be apt; but the harping on it here conveys a self-consciousness that would seem to apply more to the author’s fascination with his subject than to the character in question. Though hatched from its “self-mutilating” chrysalis, this butterfly never takes flight: like a lepidopterist’s specimen, it’s been pinned to the page and pasted with labels.
Butterflies don’t go around self-consciously inventorying their butterfly-ness. Nor do readers of fiction especially want labels, and if they do want them they prefer their own. Nor do readers want judgments imposed by the author on a character or by characters on themselves. What readers want is experience evoked concretely through action, dialogue, or through a character’s internal responses to particular events, challenges and situations—illuminated, perhaps, by a sympathetic or worldly narrator, and possibly by the character’s own reflections, but not sewn up and boiled down into shrunken headed judgments and epithets.
Here, the only behavior exhibited aside from the application of lipstick and eye-glitter is the character’s self-conscious pursuit of a label for him/herself. Even accepting that this pursuit is real—that is, belonging to the character and not to an author overly fixated on the presumed novelty of his subject—still, it’s hard to imagine such self-conscious soul-searching taking place, as suggested here, on a regular basis for any duration. Surely this queen doesn’t spend his/her days (or nights) mulling over what to call himself? If so, one wants to say to him/her, “Get over it, already.” Perhaps folded somewhere into the meat of the story such reflections wouldn’t be so out-of-place. But as an opening gambit they misfire.
What’s sacrificed here for the sake of a story about someone “being a queen,” is a better story about a man—a librarian—who just happens to be one.
Thank you, Peter. I really appreciate your taking the time to write a critique.
This is a really important thing for me to know, because I’ve written three beginnings for this novel, and now I know that this isn’t necessarily the best choice.
Also, good god, what a shock to see myself categorized under “judgmental narrators.” Yikes. I will have to re-read my work more closely to see if that’s an ongoing thing.
The category doesn’t fit you or your work, exactly; in your piece,the protagonist serves as his/her own judge by self-consciously assessing her status-quo. Yet the decision to have her do so on the first page is entirely the author’s.
There are a few very interesting ideas you have on this first page that I think could be very useful for the development of your main character, Lady Javana, if you explored them more. If anything, you’ve packed far too much into one page. For example, the self-mutilation that takes place inside a chrysalis. Since Lady Java is clearly aware of this, as she read it in a library, this implies a sense of masochism that could be very critical to understanding why she cross-dresses, yet at the bottom of the page, you say it’s because she wants to be a queen. So which is it? Or does she enjoy the masochistic transformation that takes place from man to queen? If there’s no pleasure in the self-mutilation, however sublime the result may be, why mention it?
The other example I referred to earlier is the comparison between glamour and clamor. While it is fun that the words rhyme, “clamor” implies loud noise or commotion, whereas the sentences following this comparison give a sense of composed struggle. If you want to keep the comparison between glamour and clamor, I recommend starting the story with an incident, perhaps Joseph Ryan Gainer’s first encounter with cross-dressing. This would not only follow through with the comparison, but ground the start of your story in both space and time, as opposed to the summary of this character’s quotidian actions and thoughts which you start with now. Starting your story with a concrete experience will only help your beautiful descriptions of this unusual character (I especially like your description of the face as “faceted” at the bottom of the page). Good luck! | 2019-04-19T20:37:47 | http://peterselgin.com/a-self-conscious-queen/ |
Brilliant red in color, this Pinot Noir has great clarity. Strawberry and tart cherry absolutely leap from the glass. This wine is just loaded with an array of exotic spices. The complex nose leads to bold flavors of red fruits, the most notable being rhubarb. Hints of fresh cream and bright cherry jam round out the flavor palate. With a rich mouthfeel, the 2015 Pinot Noir finishes with silky, lingering tannin.
Wine AdvocateSomewhat underwhelming and restrained is the soft, medium-bodied, sightly dilute pomegranate and strawberry-scented and flavored, moderately endowed 2015 Pinot Noir Estate.

Post 6 – Let’s Do the Mind Warp!
Does your head ever feel a catch-all drawer and you wish you could organize it? Oddly enough, humans do not think or organize in an orderly fashion. A ball made up of rubber bands pretty much sums up my thought process. Luckily, software unwinds those thoughts.
So the question is What software organizes ideas and thoughts?
Mind maps sketch out how we connect ideas. Here is an example of my hand-drawn mindmap.
No, you won’t need Dan Brown to decipher it, but it only makes sense to me. When you make your own, it will only make sense (and be extremely useful) to you.
Using our search engine, “Mind mapping free software” produced some results. The main interest is Edraw Mind Map (if you just want to download it and avoid my humor, click here). Rated “spectacular” by a mighty 25 votes, at least 7.6 versions exist, so bugs and glitches are minimal. Let’s give it a shot.
A few clicks, a few seconds and, WHAM, we have lift off. I am not sure if it allows you to import other mind maps, but for fun let’s start a new one.
I’m going to plan my Outside-the-Office ToDo List, with priorities.
A blank page looks like this.
They do have templates available, so I Choose their Concise-style.
I type in the middle bubble “Out of the Office”, and then click away. The words stay. Hitting the Insert button produces another, smaller bubble. For sub-topics, you hold Control and hit Insert. We’ll call a sub-topic my meeting tomorrow with Client A. I also need to run by the bank, pick up some office supplies, and drop off that marketing summary for Client B. Wait, Danger (our dog) needs food from the pet store next to the office supply place. However, it is not crucial. He’s pretty rotund already. Also, near that is the place we get fresh seafood.
You see how my mind works? Like pool balls scattering after the break. Now, are all of these important? Not really, but they carry some levels of importance. With the information above, here is how it looks in a mind map.
We could do that in a list, but what if I meet with Client A before Client B and have time to swing by and get fresh seafood, pet food, and office supplies? Should I do a courteous gesture and text to ask if he needs anything? How will I remember? Connected lines and a text box. See below for relationship connections.
Alright! I just got in an email message from a prospect who is in town and wants to meet at 11:30 for lunch near the bank. Depending on how the lunch goes, I might be able to go by the bank, but to be safe I’ll run by there first. Adding in the Prospect and putting the work Bank in Bold gives a start for my time outside of the office.
Notes: Control-Z works great for those minor mistakes and undoes a lot of little damage. You can use the Select tool to move around your bubbles to make organization easier.
Again, this is VERY rough, but you can see how this would work for thought and project management.
So, get to drawing! Until later. | 2019-04-23T18:13:34 | http://betterthanfree.info/freesoftwareblog/mindmaps/ |

On May 29, two solar generators in South Africa reached completion and came online to supply power to South Africa’s Eskom electricity grid. The two facilities, Lesedi and Letsatsi, were constructed by SolarReserve and produce 75 MW apiece. They are located in the Northern Cape and the Free State, respectively.
Readers of this blog may remember that these two facilities are part of South Africa’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer’s Program (REIPPP), and were approved by South Africa’s Department of Energy in their first round of bids. The generators will be able to power 130,000 South African homes, and as part of the REIPPP mandate, a portion of the revenue from these facilities will go towards development work in local communities.
They represent the largest renewable energy projects in continental Africa and some of the biggest project finance transactions completed in South Africa. Both of the photovoltaic facilities have signed a 20 year power purchasing agreement with the South African electricity utility company Eskom, one of the largest in the world. Eskom currently generates 90% of its power from South Africa’s vast coal resources, but the nation is trying to reduce its carbon footprint through the REIPPP initiative mentioned above.
The California Public Utilities Commission unanimously approved a mandate for energy storage technology. The mandate, the first of its kind in the nation, requires the purchasing 1,325 MW of energy storage by 2020, with the projects to be completed by 2024. This storage capacity is enough to power 1 million homes.
The mandate also requires 200 MW of this storage capacity to be purchased by 2014. It affects California’s three investor-owned utilities, Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, and San Diego Gas & Electric.
The decision dovetails with California legislation dictating that one third of California’s energy is supplied through renewable sources by 2020. Variability of flow has long been a criticism of renewable energy, with solar and wind plants dependent on weather for energy generation. Energy storage is seen as a way to remedy this issue, by storing the energy when it’s not needed, and releasing it when output falls due to weather or other events. This will also cut the wasteful practice of curtailment- dumping energy produced in excess over current need.
The mandate stems from AB 2514, the “Energy Storage Systems” bill, signed into law by Gov. Schwarzenegger in 2010. | 2019-04-26T00:36:29 | http://www.globalsolarinitiative.org/news/archives/07-2014 |
Here’s another installment of our Zoom Loom yarn explorations.
First, some squares made with Zealana Rimu, (distributed by The YarnSisters Inc. in the U.S.) a double knit weight blend of 60% fine New Zealand merino and 40% brushtail possum. (If you want to learn more about the brushtail possum, click here.) The colors are brilliant, and the yarn is soft and could be worn against the skin. The middle square was woven by winding three layers of Kiwi Crush (the gold-green color) on the Zoom Loom, then weaving with Powiwi Pink.
Here are some squares woven from Jojoland Tonic. Top left is a square woven with color AW292, a heathery tan/green; next to it is a square using AW324 (a medium heather brown) and woven with AW292; just below and right is a square woven with only AW324.
The bottom middle square is color AW280, and up and to the left is a square using AW280 for the first three layers wound on the Zoom Loom with AW292 to weave. Tonic is a blend of 85% acrylic/15% wool so these squares did not full at all when washed, something you would need to take into account to have a project come out the right size. | 2019-04-25T12:07:00 | https://schachtspindle.com/zoom-loom-yarn-explorations-part-deux/ |
If you’re thinking of taking your first steps on to the property ladder, here are some expert tips that might help ensure you get off to the dream start. From finding and financing a property, to making that all-important offer.
1. Get your finances fixed as early as possible. Get organised.
2. Watch your spending! Financial regualtions have tightened so mortgage providers will be looking not only at how much you earn but how you spend too.
3. A bigger deposit means a better deal. If it's possible, try to save at least a 25% deposit.
1. Mortgage fees - Your lender will probably want an up front fee of at least £2,500 to lend you the money.
2. Valuation survey - You'll probably have to pay for a survey when the bank comes to look at the property. That can cost around £1000.
3. Legal fees - You'll have to pay for conveyancing or a solicitor. That can be from £500 - £1,500.
4. Stamp duty - This is the biggest hitter, you have to make sure you have to make sure you have enough money saved to cover it. It applies to property prices over £125,000 and it can be as much as 12%. Find out more here. | 2019-04-19T18:54:29 | https://protected.fscs.org.uk/homes/smart-savers-guide-to-buying-a-homes/ |

The Ukrainian president vowed to do everything possible to "reset" the government and speed up Kiev's movement toward the EU.
KIEV (Sputnik) — Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko pledged on Monday to do everything possible to "reset" the country’s government and accelerate the country’s movement toward the accession into the European Union.
"Now, I can assure you we will do everything possible to reset the government and speed up our progress toward the European Union," Poroshenko said in his speech in Vinnytsia.
On February 15, the faction in parliament aligned to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko – the Petro Poroshenko Bloc – said it had assessed the Cabinet’s work in 2015 as "unsatisfactory."
On Tuesday, the government of Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk survived a vote of no confidence, making various factions leave the ruling parliamentary coalition.
The Verkhovna Rada may reconsider the government's resignation only during the next session of parliament, which is slated to open on September 6. | 2019-04-25T01:51:57 | https://sputniknews.com/politics/201602221035158519-ukraine-poroshenko-eu/ |
A Kenton man accused of breaking another man's jaw in jail earlier this week was among ten people indicted by a Marion County grand jury Wednesday.
MARION - A Kenton man accused of breaking another man's jaw in jail earlier this week was among ten people indicted by a Marion County grand jury Wednesday.
Ronnie Harmon Jr., 21, was indicted on one count of felonious assault, a second-degree felony in Marion County Common Pleas Court.
The charge stems from an incident on Tuesday when officers were dispatched to OhioHealth Marion General Hospital for an assault that occurred at the Multi-County Correctional Center earlier that day.
The victim told officers that Harmon had hit him in the face one time, according to an affidavit filed in Marion Municipal Court and signed by Marion Police Detective Scott Sterling.
Doctors advised officers that the victim's jaw was broken. A video obtained from the jail showed Harmon going up a flight stairs and hitting the victim once before walking away, the affidavit says.
Harmon is also facing a charge of corruption of a minor, according to the Multi-County Correctional Center. His bond has been set at $50,000.
A Marion man accused of tampering with evidence was also indicted on Wednesday.
Jeremiah Thrush, 34, was indicted on one count of tampering with evidence, a third-degree felony, in Marion County Common Pleas Court.
The charge stems from an incident on June 6, when officers received a trafficking in heroin warrant for Alexandria Justice, 33, who was also indicted this week on one count of trafficking in heroin, a fourth-degree felony, and one count of trafficking in heroin, a fifth-degree felony.
Justice was in a vehicle with Thrush when an officer approached them, according to an affidavit filed in Marion Municipal Court and signed by state trooper Jeremy Bice.
The officer ordered both of them to keep their hands visible, the affidavit says. Thrush was observed reaching for and moving a pack of cigarettes around, according to the patrol.
Thrush was then placed in handcuffs and was ordered to stand next to the front passenger tire of the vehicle, according to the affidavit. Officers said they observed a cigarette pack lying directly behind the tire.
The affidavit says that officers found a paper drug fold in the pack containing an unknown substance.
Thrush is being held at the Marion County Correctional Center. His bond has been set at $10,000.
Dazmond Smith, 27, 194 E. Fairground St., on one count of domestic violence, a third-degree felony.
Austin Rose, 18, 2686 Caledonia Northern Road, Caledonia, on one count of gross sexual imposition, a fourth degree misdemeanor, and one count of public indecency, a fourth-degree misdemeanor.
Jason A. Pollock, 34, 1597 Southland Parkway, one count of aggravated possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony, and one count of possession of drugs, a first-degree misdemeanor.
David Mahoney, 44, 545 Bellefontaine Ave., on one count of receiving stolen property, a fifth-degree felony, and four counts of misuse of a credit card, all first-degree misdemeanors.
Steven Derfler, 55, 554 Girard Ave., on one count of violation of a protection order, a fifth-degree felony.
Kristopher Currington, 25, 215 Grace St., Bucyrus, on one count of forgery, a fifth-degree felony, and one count of theft, a first-degree misdemeanor.
Christopher Gates Jr., 28, 1527 Depot Road, Albany, on one count of possession of heroin, a fifth-degree felony, and one count of aggravated possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony. | 2019-04-25T16:54:24 | https://www.marionstar.com/story/news/2018/06/15/kenton-man-accused-breaking-anothers-jaw-while-jail-grand-jury-indictments/703493002/ |
We took the U Bahn from Floridsdorf and then walked to the SchweizerHaus, which means Swiss House in German. This place is legendary here for its traditional Austrian food. Of particular note is the pork shank, which appears to be roasted and is HUGE. Literally, we watched a family of four across from us share one pork shank. We heard that some of them weigh up to a kilo, or 2.2 pounds to us. And that isn't all - it comes with a bread basket, coleslaw salad, and fresh ground horseradish and mustard.
Did I mention, the Swiss House is a biergarten? Reportedly home of the original Budweiser, in fact. So we felt obligated to try, for the sake of an old fashioned Austrian custom.
Our drinks came out first, mostly because I ordered the Backhendl, which is fried chicken and takes 20 minutes. But we waited patiently, watching the family foursome at the next table decimate their roasted pork. Above us through the tress we could see one of the rides, a giant communal swing lifting numbers of people into the air and swirling them all in a lazy spiral.
After dinner we walked through the amusement park. Jon won a tiny but loud green kazoo whistle at an archery booth, which he proceeded to blow almost incessantly. All in all it was a perfect way to spend one of the last pretty days of our first Fall in another land. And we will take all of our friends and family who visit us to the Swiss House! | 2019-04-24T04:32:43 | http://2fatgirlsonavolcano.blogspot.com/2013/11/swiss-house.html |

This guide truss on US 59 at the I-35 interchange notes US 59 follows I-35 south, but relagates US 50 to the sidelines.
"New Old School?" Apparently, when the contractor installed this new assembly on I-35/US 50 where US 59 now joins, they used what the road enthusiast community refers to as the "1958 specs," which carry smaller digits on the I-35 shield. | 2019-04-21T14:04:16 | http://www.route56.com/highways/highways.php?hwy=59&seg=1&photos=5 |

Geoff Johns, the writer behind some of DC’s greatest events, including DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH and INFINITE CRISIS, continues his smashing run on the classic TEEN TITANS franchise with TEEN TITANS BY GEOFF JOHNS BOOK TWO.
After misadventures in Hollywood and life-changing revelations for Beast Boy in San Francisco, the Teen Titans earn a much-deserved weekend off. While the Titans’ weekends are usually a chance to get away from it all, this time they’re really gone…to the 31st century. There they must help the Legion of Super-Heroes stop a threat known as the Fatal Five Hundred.
Their return trip drops them off a mere ten years into the future, but it’s not a place they want to stay. Most of the team are horrified at what they grow up to become and what these adult Titans do to accomplish their goals.
In this second volume, Johns teams with Mike McKone (JUSTICE LEAGUE UNITED) and other artists for his unforgettable reimagining of one of the DC Universe’s staple titles. Collects BEAST BOY #1-4, TEEN TITANS #13-19, TEEN TITANS/LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES SPECIAL #1 and more. | 2019-04-19T00:28:14 | https://planetx-dc.comicretailer.com/Teen-Titans-by-Geoff-Johns-Book-Two/digital-comic/633479 |

Tournament formats have gained popularity in MMA in recent years. Bellator has been consistently holding Grand Prix tournaments across different weight classes for several years, and it’s nice for the fighters in that they lay out clear, defined paths to a title. Nothing has been more frustrating than watching other promotions hold up entire divisions while chasing money fights.
Bellator is currently in the tail end of the quarterfinal round of the Welterweight World Grand Prix. Many of the division’s mainstays, including Douglas Lima, Paul Daley and Michael “Venom” Page, landed spots in the tournament, along with current champ Rory MacDonald and No. 1 contender Jon Fitch. So far, Page has defeated Daley, Neiman Gracie has defeated Ed Ruth, and Lima has submitted former two-time tournament winner and former division champ Andrey Koreshkov.
It’s obviously a huge letdown for any competitor to wash out in the first round of a bracket, but the tournament format keeps the path clear and allows a fighter to get back on track for a title shot by tournament end. Koreshkov has been at the top in the past, and he plans to be there again. It all starts with his takeaways from his trilogy fight with Lima.
Koreshkov, who fought Lima in September, faces his next opponent at Bellator 219 in Temecula, Calif., on Friday night. He was originally slated to meet Lorenz Larkin. However, a few weeks out, Larkin withdrew with an injury, and he was replaced by promotional newcomer Mike Jasper.
Jasper is currently on a three-fight winning streak in the California Xtreme Fighting promotion, but those three fights span a range from December 2016 to April 2018. He has not been very active. Koreshkov, though, has only fought four times in that same period of time. Two of the Russian’s last four fights were losses to Lima, who holds similar Bellator accolades as Koreshkov, and one was a TKO win over Chidi Njokuani, who was a much larger opponent. The gap in experience between Jasper and Koreshkov is quite large.
Koreshkov is not overlooking Jasper by any means, but his eyes are definitely focused on the long-term. He has had plenty of experience in working his way up to a title shot, and he is more than prepared to do it again. Training under longtime head coach and former Bellator middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko at Storm Fight School in his hometown of Omsk, the 28-year-old welterweight will be ready after the tournament final to take another shot at the strap.
The tournament format is not only a clearly defined path, but it is also a fair one. The winners move closer to the belt, and the ones who don’t advance at least know what they need to do. On Friday night, Koreshkov gets his next opportunity to spark a run at the title. Someday, he might be able to fight Lima again for the fourth time, as long as it is under the right terms. | 2019-04-18T11:14:04 | http://combatpress.com/2019/03/bellator-219s-andrey-koreshkov-we-are-going-to-stand-and-bang/ |
Perception follows Cass, a young blind woman who is plagued by recurring dreams of an abandoned mansion, a rope, a ticket, an apple and an ax. Deciding to put her nightmares to rest she goes to investigate the old house alone. Players are able to see using vibrations in the environment. Concentrated noises from leaky pipes or un-tuned radios emit enough noise to illuminate small areas while “tapping” sends out a wave strong enough to see entire rooms for short periods of time. While tapping is the easiest way to navigate, it also produces noise which attracts enemies. Players must find an uncomfortable balance between sight and discovery.
Each chapter explores the life of a different owner of the mansion. The house warps itself to fit the environment and delusions of the previous occupants.
Those familiar with Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw of Zero Punctuation fame might be familiar with the his term “the shinfuls” which will be explained here for our good readers as “shoddy final level syndrome.” While the first chapter of Perception is a triumph of suspense and each chapter has fantastic moments, the later chapters loose some of that magic and become less memorable. What makes the first level so great is its mystery. It’s not just that the mechanics are new. Of course wandering around in near perfect blackness, serenaded by the creaks and growls of a decaying house puts players perfectly on edge. While this experience may loose its claws after the first half hour of gameplay, it’s the job of the story to keep the fear quotient at a max.
There are a couple things that I think directly defused the tension. First and foremost, the anthology nature of the narrative did little to foster suspense. The first chapter is so great because it’s so strange and full of mystery. It takes place in the near past when a husband and wife anticipate the arrival of their first child. The mother seems to be loosing her grip on reality and it isn’t really clear whether it’s all in her head, a result of her husband’s forced medication regimen or the effects of a curse. I was really intrigued and looking forward to seeing the resolution, but just as the family reaches a crisis, it’s over, chapter’s done and the next narrative begins.
The second issue I took with the game was less about story and more mechanical. Pretty early on the player starts encountering hiding places. Of course, the first question raised when given the option to hide is: what am I hiding from? When “The Presence” first appears it’s genuinely freaky. However, as soon as you hide, it feels like the threat is just gone. It doesn’t seem to bother chasing the player so as soon as you’re in a safe little box or closet the concern is over. Outlast has a similar policy regarding dealing with monsters. The scary part was sitting in your closet listening to that terrifying, unknown monster prowling just outside and oh no it sounds like it’s getting closer, is it gonna find me? OH LORD I THINK IT HAS! I’M GONNA DIE, OH NO OH NO OH NO! But in Perception, those tense moments of internal panic don’t exist.
This is a little more nit picky but here’s the thing: why is the house so enormous? It seems completely unreasonable that the four families portrayed in the game who numbered from 2 to 3, claiming no mass fortune or social standing should inhabit such a ridiculously sprawling estate. I understand, it’s a video game, some elements will be outrageous, but there are consequences to gameplay. A major element of the story is that the house warps and changes to match the delusions of its residents. It’s hard to get a sense of its changing nature when the estate is so big players might as well be starting in one corner and making their way to the other side without ever revisiting the same rooms. If the house was a more reasonable size, players would get a sense for the layout of the building and appreciate the changing use of space across the 4 time periods. As it stands, it feels as though the game takes place is 4 separate locations that might as well not even be the same building.
Perception is somewhat unique in that it boasts a particularly vocal protagonist. She’s quick to offer her insights which builds her character into a relatable friend. Her commentary was helpful in interpreting the more ambiguous parts of the game. Interestingly, the play has the option to tern her audio off. I really can’t see any reason for doing this unless someone is perhaps playing through for a third or forth time. Even so, the replay value of the game is so low, I don’t foresee anyone running into this problem (except maybe play-testers).
Overall Perception is an interesting concept that is well executed in some places, but lacks a sturdy narrative to prop itself up. If it just so happens that you have a copy of this game sitting around in your Steam inventory I would suggest giving it a a try, but for the price I have a hard time recommending it. The game only takes 2 hours to play and without any real replay-ability the price is quite steep. I feel terrible giving this game a so-so review because I’m sure the developers put a lot of time and effort into it. Visually it’s well polished but overall it doesn’t quite come together into a satisfying experience.

This book begins with a discussion of the eight English lords who sought a steady flow of American wealth into their pockets when King Charles II granted the colony to the Lords Proprietors back in 1663. Fifty years on, North Carolina was one of the poorer, if not the poorest, of England's North American colonies. A major issue was wate. On the one hand, the colony was blessed with plenty of it, including several big rivers as well as the huge Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds. Yet it was cursed because the waters were too shallow for large ships, and so North Carolina had no deepwater port. That meant trade and commerce lagged behind badly when compared to Virginia to the north and South Carolina to the south. North Carolina's colonial population was small but politically divided, having just emerged from a vicious internal rebellion that stopped just short of civil war. | 2019-04-21T07:12:42 | http://northcarolina.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.5149/9781469610917_LaVere/upso-9781469610900-chapter-2 |

I am sorry to say, but in general, customer service in South Florida is not that good. I was pleasantly surprised with the level of service I received upon the visit to this office. While booking the emergency appointment, the staff took good 15-20 minutes of their time on the phone to find out what’s going on.
Clean facility, again, friendly (what a surprise!) staff, knowledgeable personnel. | 2019-04-23T00:32:17 | https://southfloridacosmeticdentistry.com/pleasantly-surprised-with-the-level-of-service/ |
US ambassador Ryan Crocker said the US strongly condemned the killing of Ghulam Haidar Hamidi by a suicide bomber in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
Mr Hamidi's death comes two weeks after the assassination of the brother of Afghan President Hamid Karzai in the same city.
Mr Crocker said the attack was "indication again of both the challenges that Afghanistan faces, but also the extraordinary resilience of the Afghan government and people."
Afghan forces are due to take over full security control by 2014 as foreign troops withdraw. This has given rise to fears this will lead to a resurgence in violence by the Taliban, a prospect the ambassador rejects.
"I would judge that the Taliban is now damaged to the point where they can no longer conduct field operations and they have had to regroup and figure out what they can do and in some cases that has been assassinations,” he said. | 2019-04-19T12:35:12 | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/afghanistan/8665743/US-ambassador-condemns-assassination-of-Kandahar-mayor.html |

Students will be organizing and hosting a community event to inform and inspire community members to take voluntary action for the common good. | 2019-04-24T00:31:55 | https://www.learningtogive.org/units/getting-know-community |
Beach Stone-Curlews feed mostly on crabs, hammering them open and sometimes washing them before swallowing.
A repeated, mournful, wailing 'wee loo', which is higher and harsher than that of the Bush Stone-curlew. When alarmed the Beach Stone-curlew may produce a 'weal' yapping sound.
There are no species with which the Beach Stone-curlew may be confused. It is readily distinguished from all other waders by its large size, massive bill with yellow patches at the base, and bold black and white pattern on the head. The related Bush Stone-curlew, Burhinus grallarius, has a much smaller bill, a less boldly marked face, and has extensive black streaking on the body.
The Beach Stone-Curlew has been observed around the north coast of Australia and associated islands from near Onslow in Western Australia to the Manning River in New South Wales. The species has largely disappeared from the south-eastern part of its former range, and is now rarely recorded on ocean beaches in New South Wales.
The Beach Stone-Curlew occurs on open, undisturbed beaches, islands, reefs, and estuarine intertidal sand and mudflats, prefering beaches with estuaries or mangroves nearby. However this species also frequents river mouths, offshore sandbars associated with coral atolls, reefs and rock platforms and coastal lagoons.
The Beach Stone-Curlew forages on large intertidal mudflats, sandflats, sandbanks and sandpits exposed by low tide for crabs and other marine invertebrates.
Beach Stone-curlew nests may be located on sandbanks, sandpits, or islands in estuaries, coral ridges, among mangroves or in the sand surrounded by short grass and scattered casuarinas. Typically one egg is laid per season, however, the female may lay a second egg if the first is lost. Once the young have hatched, both parents care for them until they reach 7-12 months old.
Human impacts on the Beach Stone-curlew include loss of habitat due to residential and industrial development, disturbance from beach-combing, boating and off-road vehicles. Other threats to the Beach Stone-curlew include predation by raptors, cats and dogs and nest destruction by feral pigs. | 2019-04-21T18:31:00 | http://birdsinbackyards.net/species/Esacus-magnirostris |
It has been a while since I've had to do ASP.NET Impersonation, but I was presented with a situation today in which it was required. I figured I would give a few quick tips for doing so, how to impersonate, and how you can debug some of the issues during the process.
In ASP.NET Impersonation, it is done at the entire application level. You simply have to add an entry under the system.web entry in web.config to impersonate a user for the running process.
Note: Because the entire process runs as this user, you may get an error stating that the user does not have permissions to access C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\VX.X.X\Temporary ASP.NET Files. To fix this issue, simply go to the stated path, right click to get to properties, and add the user to the directory permissions with write permissions.
Pretty basic for the most part, but just wanted to share because it always takes me a minute to remember the process. | 2019-04-21T08:31:18 | http://www.nerdyhearn.com/blog/160/ |

Perhaps I just missed the discussion, but I wonder why no one here mentioned that these ent guys are way overpowered. They're cheap, they can quest, attack and defend (even in one turn, if you want to), they can soak up so much damage which only makes them stronger. I rarely lost a game in which i could play Treebeard on turn 2. The saga expansions are even worse, because you can play more of them and earlier.
It seems fitting to me that the Ents are powerful. After all, they played a huge part in the defeat of an Istari; I imagine many players would be disappointed if they weren't powerful. I don't know if I would say overpowered, though. Losing the ability to act the round they enter play is a pretty significant, and appropriate, drawback.
If you aren't able to ready them immediately the enters play exhausted drawback I've found is pretty significant. Definitely agree with Danpoage and would not say overpowered but rather simply powerful.
Treebeard's ability to perform two actions every second turn (by readying himself with his ability) with his stellar stats is bit crazy but he does cost 4 and enters play exhausted himself. He may be a little too strong but I really don't think the others so far are.
Definitely not overpowered, Treebeard is crazy but is unique so he's the only copy on the table and will not do well against hard hitting quests from the beginning and does much better for longer quests or turtleing which isn't too popular in recent quests.
Wondering Ent has lots of good stats but you can't use them all and Booming Ent is difficult to get to more than 4 or 5 attack and both of these entering play exhausted is a proper limitation. I do not think they are overpowered at all.
Being able to ready the Ents can get the most of their power but this requires Leadership which none of the Ents are currently in. Just like any deck though if you support it properly it can get way strong but I don't see Ents overly powered compared to other traits right now (they are just a small sub-theme).
I think the best way to balance Ents is to stop releasing them. Make them as rare as they were in Middle-earth.
We have some really nice Ent cards now. With 7 cards you can have a very nice support archetype. Let it stop there.
If they are going to release any more ents, then they need to be unique.
There has to be more Ents! A couple unique ones would be great but a couple more generic ones wouldn't be bad either. Treebeard will always ready himself since he's the most powerful unless Booming Ent gets really strengthened up of which he would need errata to limit his attack if there are lots of more Ents released (limit +3 attack).
I totally agree that there shall be Ents no more.
I think that it's Treebeard's ability that makes them OP. Once he's in play you effectively pay only one resource for all the other Ents, which leaves two resources that one can spent to play other cards. That's enough to stall the encounter deck for one round or two. Or you use Treebeard's power to ready Ents after they enter play, which makes their only weak spot irrelevant.
Btw, if you want to play a strong deck, try Ents together with Hobbits (Frode / Pippin (lore) / Merry). Hell, I think every secrecy deck should go totally nuts with some Ents added to the mix.
I think they've done a great job with Ents so far. I think they should fill out the lore with more unique ents. Do people find that other players gravitate toward OP decks? My group is pretty small and I don't think any of us would habitually play an exploitative deck. We'd try it out, just to see what it's like (I've built exactly ONE outlands deck, myself) but repeated playing a deck that stomps most quests is boring. I remember getting super-tired of playing Eagles about a yearish ago.
I say more Ents. Give me the option to play with them. It's not like anyone is forcing me to build a deck with them.
I think Booming Ents would get too powerful if we get too many more ents, but making the new ones unique would limit the number of ents on the table, thus limiting the power growth of the Booming Ents.
I would really like huorns, as there are many more than ents. They would switch over to the staging area if ever the controlling player would have no ent in play.
Do people find that other players gravitate toward OP decks? My group is pretty small and I don't think any of us would habitually play an exploitative deck.
See, that's the thing. I want to play Ents too. If they are too powerful, it would be boring to play. Then these guys end up collecting dust.
You gusy all miss few important points.
Point one: ents are extremely slow, if you're going to lay all your deck on ents, you'll most certainly will be overwhelmed fast.
Point two: ents function within one player, so if they create non-unique spirit and leadershit ents - it will not hurt the balance as it'll be extremely hard to field so many allies from different spheres at once, especially taking in account that they won't be effective the turn you field them.
True, but Outlands functions the same way with respect to being a multisphere trait. There are ways around the cost restrictions. Outlands has Hirluin, Ents have Treebeard, which is not on the same level as Hirluin in terms of resource generation and reliability to be sure.
Dwarves are slow to build power due to their cost, but once established are unstoppable. And people keep saying that the 'enters play exhausted' is a significant drawback, but I see it as almost negligible. Due to the low cost (so far) of Ents, you can get them in play a round sooner than you would, say a 3-cost Gloin or Bifur ally. No one considered Dwarves underpowered due to their speed. In that case an Ent and a Dwarf couldbe functionally considered equal in terms of their action advantage and access to their stats. But the Ent can be readied and used sooner through some card effects.
Do ents got a leadershit(most rich and easily aquiring resources sphere) hero who can pay for all the ents from different spheres? No. To play Treebreard, you need to draw him first, you need to aquire 4 resources, you need to wait til he builds his pool (you can't give him resources through card effects). It's entirely different from Hirluin.
I don't think Ents are overpowered and I do like their design overall. I will say, however, in the right deck that the "enters play exhausted" weakness isn't really that significant. Specifically, if you have a deck with some action advantage and some relatively decent heroes, they can cover for the Ents until they are set up and ready to go. I haven't found readying for the Ents themselves (beyond Treebeard) all that necessary. Basically, as the OP said, the Ents are pretty **** strong. I've gotten the Booming Ents up to 6 attack each several times, and in one particularly memorable instance, smashed all three guardians in The Three Trials during a single round of combat. So again, I wouldn't say they are overpowered, but with just three different Ent allies, they're already on the high end of the power scale. I could see the Booming Ent potentially needing errata in the future if we do get more Ents, with a +3 cap being reasonable.
I want an ent deck. So more ents please!
Ents a cool. The problems is not to much of them. We need more!
Ha, true. I loved during that game of The Three Trials when the Raven Guardian's time counters went off...putting 1 damage on all of my Ents. Um, yeah, thanks dude, should've thought that one through!
Treebeard is a beast. But, I do find myself not playing him when I have four resources sometimes. The fact that he comes into play exhausted does give you something to think about and is a big drawback. Sometimes I know that I am going to have multiple enemies engaged with me and I just cannot spend four resources for something that is not able to block that turn.
I feel like he is powerful, but I find myself playing him when I am already doing well and basically have four resources lying around. He is also nice if you have a way to spam out some big allies such as Elf Stone or Vilya.
Obviously we will get more Ents - we need Quickbeam! I assume he will come in the next saga expansion.
Who's this Quickbeam bloke everyone talking about?
He's in the books, in scenes with Merry and Pippin. Might be the only named Ent besides Treebeard, but I'm currently re-reading TTT for the first time in years and haven't come very far yet.
I find myself playing him EVERYTIME I have 4 resources, and he never fails to disappoint me.
Hmmmh, perhaps I should have named this thread "Ents are too strong!" to make the expected kind of answer a bit more obvious? | 2019-04-18T23:14:39 | https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/134312-are-ents-too-strong/ |
Pauley Perrette is leaving "NCIS" after 16 years and 15 seasons. The actress, who played forensic specialist Abby Sciuto, will sign off after the current season wraps.
On Wednesday, she cleared the air about her departure on Twitter and emphasized that there is no drama behind her decision.
She wrote: "There has been all kinds of false stories as to why (NO I DON'T HAVE A SKIN CARE LINE AND NO MY NETWORK AND SHOW ARE NOT MAD AT ME!) It was a decision made last year. I hope everyone will love and enjoy EVERYTHING ABBY not only for the rest of this season but for everything she has given all of us for 16 years. All the love, all the laughter, all the inspiration…I love her as much as you do."
Former "NCIS" cast member Lauren Holly tweeted, "You will be missed," while former cast member Sasha Alexander said, "I [love] you @PauleyP! What joy you brought to the world playing #AbbySciuto can't wait to see what's next! #ncis."
"Pauley has been a valued member of both 'NCIS' and the CBS family for over 15 years," said CBS in a statement. "While it's never easy saying goodbye to a beloved actress and character, we respect her decision to leave at the end of the season. We are grateful to Pauley for all her contributions to the series and making Abby one of the most unique characters on television."
"NCIS" executive producers George Schenck and Frank Cardea also released a statement, saying they were working on a special send-off. They added, "From day one, she has brought incredible passion and specificity to the role. Abby is a character that inspires millions of fans around the world, and all of us at 'NCIS' are appreciative of Pauley for portraying her."
Perrette has been a vocal advocate for victims of stalking. She has been working with other victims to change stalking law and to give police more ways to stop the harassment. She talked to "48 Hours" about her experience with a stalker.
"NCIS" airs Tuesdays, 8 p.m. on CBS. | 2019-04-24T12:15:14 | https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pauley-perrette-leaving-ncis-after-15-seasons/ |
What kind of structure can CLADLINER be used on?
Although it was designed specifically for manholes, CLADLINER can be used throughout the entire collection system (including lift stations, and man accessible pipes etc.). It is designed for infrastructure that requires high resistance to H2S.
Can CLADLINER be applied by hand, or by trowel, or do you need special spray equipment?
CLADLINER can be hand applied by trowel and also sprayed using a simple high powered mortar pump like the Graco M680 or S340. See technical data sheet for more information.
Who can apply CLADLINER? Is any training required?
Contractors can apply it easily. Watch CLADLINER’s mixing and application video to learn the simple application process. Contact your local distributor for more information on any certification and training programs in your area.
Does the product shrink during or after curing?
CLADLINER cures safely with no harmful effects. In addition, CLADLINER products incorporate a formula that contains a broad-spectrum, highly effective antimicrobial agent called CladAM. CladAM has been clinically tested and shown to react with key proteins in a microbe’s outer membrane, blocking the transfer of necessary nutrients into the cell. CladAM therefore minimizes or eliminates microbial growth.
What kind of surface preparation does CLADLINER require?
The surface must be clean, in sound condition, and surface saturated dry. All oil, dust, grease, dirt, loose rust, and other foreign material must be removed to ensure adequate adhesion. Minimum recommended surface preparation for concrete and masonry: SSPC-SP13/NACE 6 ICRI No. 310.2R, CSP 5-7.
What personal protective equipment is required to handle CLADLINER?
CLADLINER has no VOCs and is 100% solids therefore the PPE needed s similar to the paint industry. Generally, we recommend protective clothing and gear to protect the ears, nose, and mouth. Always follow specific SDS requirements for each product.
Why not just use a traditional cementitious liner like calcium aluminate to restore the manhole?
Calcium aluminate and Portland cement will not protect against corrosive substances, such as hydrogen sulfide, that are found in the manhole system, such as hydrogen sulfide, nearly as effectively as CLADLINER. See the FAU published study found at CLADLINER.com for more specific data.
What is the cost compared to cementitious liners?
CLADLINER is comparable in price to high performance cementitious systems like pure fused calcium aluminate. It is generally much more cost effective than most high build epoxy systems.
How do you determine the water pressure when spraying a manhole in preparation for coating it?
Typical pressures range between 3,000 and 5,000 psi. This varies, depending on what is needed to achieve: SSPC-SP13/NACE 6 ICRI No. 310.2R, CSP 5-7.
How is the thickness determined/controlled?
Depending on the condition of the existing concrete and also the temperature, the thickness can range between ¼” and 1”. The application thickness of the product can be controlled by use of a notch trowel or by simply estimating coverage. For a typical 48” diameter structure one kit of CLADLINER should cover approximately 1.5 vertical feet when applied at 250 mils (¼”) thickness.
What is the life time expectation for the hybrid epoxy?
It is similar to a high build epoxy system. At specified thicknesses, it can extend a few decades in most environments.
What is the max thickness that will adhere to the wall?
CLADLINER can be applied up to 2 inches in a single pass, depending on surface conditions and temperature.
Is any special equipment required to apply CLADLINER?
All you need is an electric drill mixer and a trowel everything else you need can be found in CLADLINER’s square pail. The product should be mixed right in the pail.
The ground infiltration while rehabbing the manhole cannot be controlled. How can this product be applied with continuous infiltration?
The active leaks need to be stopped long enough for the CLADLINER to fully cure. Once CLADLINER cures it will assist in holding back long term infiltration.
What is the shelf life of this products?
Two years. It should be stored indoors at temperatures ranging between 50 and 90 degrees F. | 2019-04-24T11:51:03 | http://www.cladliner.com/products/cladliner/cladliner-questions/ |

Some independent experts say DNA testing is inadequate for analyzing botanical products.
ALBANY, N.Y. — DNA barcoding has exposed some infamous cases of food fraud, like cheap catfish sold as pricey grouper and expensive "sheep's milk" cheese that was really made from cow's milk.
But can it tell if a pill touted as an energy-booster contains ginseng or is just a mix of rice powder and pine?
Some scientists say yes, while industry groups and some independent experts say DNA testing alone is inadequate for analyzing botanical products that have gone through a lot of processing from leaf to tablet.
About 65,000 dietary supplements are on the market, consumed by more than 150 million Americans, according to a 2013 Canadian government study. The American Botanical Council estimates U.S. sales of herbal supplements came to $6 billion that year.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires companies to verify their products are safe and properly labeled, but supplements are exempt from the FDA's strict approval process for prescription drugs.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says lax oversight of supplements can have serious public health consequences, noting a 2013 hepatitis outbreak traced to a tainted diet supplement and the death of a baby at a Connecticut hospital after doctors gave the child a probiotic supplement later found to be contaminated with yeast.
Last week, Schneiderman ordered Wal-Mart, Walgreen's, Target and GNC to stop selling store-brand herbal supplements that DNA tests found questionable.
Schneiderman's action followed a Clarkson University study he commissioned and he also referenced a 2013 study published by University of Guelph researchers.
The Clarkson study tested hundreds of bottles of store-brand herbal supplements sold as treatments for everything from memory loss to prostate trouble, and found 4 out of 5 contained none of the herbs listed on the labels.
At the University of Guelph, researchers used DNA fingerprinting to find that a third of 44 supplements tested contained no trace of the plant on the label.
But the dietary supplement industry takes issue with DNA testing and some consumer advocacy groups say the method by itself is inadequate because it cannot detect the most serious problems with supplements — contamination with heavy metals or chemical adulterants.
"There's no problem with DNA barcoding as a science; however, it should be used appropriately. It has limitations," said Nandakumara Sarma, director of dietary supplements for US Pharmacopeia, which sets quality standards and testing protocols for drugs, vitamins and supplements.
The United Natural Products Alliance, a trade group, says it is sending people out around the country to buy large quantities of the supplements cited by Schneiderman and submit the bottles, unopened, to five or six certified botanical testing labs for analysis.
"They will perform universally accepted methods and procedures to test the products and will independently report their findings, which will be made public," said Loren Israelsen, the group's president. "We feel the most appropriate response to bad science is good science."
The American Botanical Council, a nonprofit research and education organization based in Austin, Texas, was particularly critical of the Guelph study.
"We raised the question if any of these products are extracts, and if so, what other analytical technologies were used to help ensure the validity of the results obtained by DNA testing," said Mark Blumenthal, the council's founder and director.
"DNA testing seldom is able to properly identify chemically complex herbal extracts, because often DNA doesn't get through the extraction process," Blumenthal said.
He said at least some of the products cited by Schneiderman are likely made from extracts, which can be validated by other common lab tests.
Tod Cooperman, president of the consumer-funded ConsumerLab.com, also dismissed the Guelph and attorney general's DNA studies as inappropriate for validating herbal supplements.
"There are definitely problems with herbal supplements but this is not the right method to test those products," Cooperman said.
His lab performs a range of tests on vitamins, herbal products and other dietary supplements to determine quality and purity, and provides the results to consumers who subscribe to his service.
Blumenthal also is working to expose bad products. He launched the Botanical Adulterants Program four years ago to ferret out suppliers who sell adulterated or mislabeled ingredients to manufacturers of herbal supplements. One goal of the program is to identify what laboratory tests are most effective.
Pieter Cohen, a Harvard Medical School researcher whose area of expertise is tracking down dangerous supplements, said the new versions of methamphetamine he has found in diet and sports supplements would never be spotted by DNA testing.
"There is so much wrong with the quality of supplements today that it's a shame the New York attorney general is not using sound science to focus on the most important problems," Cohen said. "The FDA has done hundreds of spot inspections of supplement companies, and they have found that 7 in 10 are not compliant with basic manufacturing practices."
Schneiderman's office stands by the validity of its DNA testing.
"Rather than attacking testing methods that have been validated by more than 70 published papers, the time has come for the herbal supplements industry to put concerns about what is and is not included in its products to rest," Matt Mittenthal, spokesman for the attorney general, said in an email.
The attorney general's office did not respond to a follow-up email asking why conventional, widely accepted testing wasn't used to verify the DNA test results, which would have made the findings more indisputable.
US Pharmacopeia provides independent third-party certification to drug and supplement manufacturers, who can then use the certification to assure consumers their products are genuine.
But John Atwater, director of verification programs for the organization, said less than 1 percent of herbal supplements carry the USP mark.
He noted the program is voluntary. "It's up to manufacturers and consumers to demand it," he said. | 2019-04-22T10:38:29 | https://www.postcrescent.com/story/news/nation/2015/02/08/supplements-industry-derides-dna-tests/23079203/ |
Ender’s Ansible (ENDERSANSIBLE.COM) is an Ender’s Game fansite and news resource for the movie and book series. It was founded on June 30, 2011 by a fan of the Enderverse who wanted the latest Ender-related news to exist on a single website. In November 2011, Ender’s Ansible partnered with The Philotic Web (PHILOTICWEB.NET).
The Philotic Web was founded exactly 10 years prior to Ender’s Ansible on June 30, 2001 (the date is a happy coincidence). A fan wrote to Ender’s Game author, Orson Scott Card, asking permission to use quotes on the website and OSC gladly gave his permission saying that he was flattered someone would want to devote that much work to his characters. After a countdown on OSC’s website, Hatrack River (HATRACK.COM), The Philotic Web opened to the public and OSC became the first person to register in the forums. The Philotic Web quickly grew to be a handy news outlet, Enderverse information library and forum. Over the years, The Philotic Web has helped OSC with a variety of projects such as the Authorized Ender Companion. The website has also been acknowledged in Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, Ender in Exile and the Authorized Ender Companion. Unfortunately, The Philotic Web had a server crash in 2001, and again in 2006. After 2 server crashes The Philotic Web recovered as a forum full of passionate Ender fans.
Since Ender’s Ansible and The Philotic Web became partner sites in 2011, the two websites have helped to foster the Ender’s Game community. Together they have worked on publishing Ender-related movie and book news, exclusive interviews, podcasts, fan art, encyclopedia and more. The two websites URLs are sometimes shortened to Eric + Phoebe. | 2019-04-25T22:12:46 | http://endersansible.com/about/ |
The proverbial cat is out of the bag on our new avalanche transceivers, so here is some information for people who have questions about the new beacons or about Mammut's continuing warranty & service for their existing Pulse or Element beacons. This post has background info and details on the new beacons, as well as a timeline for availability, info for warranty during the transition, and some info for operators utilizing our fleet management tools.
First, a little history: Barry, the fabled Swiss avalanche rescue dog (link), is the namesake of the Mammut Barryvox beacons—Vox means voice, so BARRYVOX means “Barry’s Voice”, or “the sound of rescue on the way”. Because of this we like to say the Barryvox has been at the forefront of avalanche rescue from the rescue dog, to the very first avalanche beacon technology, and now to the new Barryvox S and Barryvox avalanche transceivers, which will be new in October of 2017.
The new BarryvoxS avalanche beacon, available Fall 2017, utilizes dynamic screen icons such as the rescuer running down the avalanche path shown here during the signal-search, in order to visually cue a rescuer throughout the search. Extensive usability testing during development allowed us to find the most intuitive-to-follow icons, as well as help to alleviate some common searching errors.
The existing Pulse Barryvox and Element Barryvox beacons will be replaced by these new beacons and, since we are out for this winter will no longer be available. Mammut will continue to provide warranty and after-sales service for the Pulse and Element as we have in the past. Any owners or fleet operators with concerns about this, please read the "Fleet Operators & fleet management tools" section at the bottom of this post and then if you want give us a call at North American HQ at (800) 451-5127, or if you're outside the US and Canada at the Barryvox Service Center in your country (link).
POWERFUL SEARCH, EASY HANDLING and FAST RESCUE.
EASY HANDLING: Simple, intuitive, easy to use and ergonomic interface opens this model to many recreational users--this was a huge design focus and we're very happy with the ease of use and simpler navigation of this platform.
FAST RESCUE: Faster signal pickup, improved signal retention in multiple burials, improved signal separation for reduced overlap, “Auto-guidance” guides the user through signal overlap, "Smart Search" fine search uses sensor technology to shorten the fine search and make it more forgiving of sloppy technique for all users.
The Barryvox will replace the Element with ultra-simple and reliable performance for all users.
FAST RESCUE: Faster signal pickup, improved signal retention in multiple burials, improved signal separation for reduced overlap.
Barryvox S is capable of easily solving single, multiple or even extremely difficult multiple burials involving signal overlap. Compared to its predecessor the Pulse, the Barryvox S has higher performance, a much simpler user interface, and with new background programming that makes searching easier and faster for all users.
• “Auto Guidance” offers continued search guidance during signal overlap, something no other beacon can do. The beacon pre-maps the flux line and the motion sensor is able to tell where along that line the user is, so in the event of signal overlap the beacon is able to continue the search un-interrupted. This background feature doesn't require the user to "do" anything, and virtually eliminates the "stop stand still" screen prompt indicating signal overlap.
• “Smart Fine Search” uses sensor technology to optimize the fine-search for all users. The evolution of “intelligent fine search” is easier to use and reduces the fine grid-search to an absolute minimum. This means the searcher simply follows the arrow in the coarse search, right through the shortened fine search, directly to a "probe here" icon.
• This all sounds like a lot, but the above points are mostly behind the scenes and the user is not aware it’s happening and doesn't have to "do" anything.
• “Pro Search” menu option is a on/off user-configuration that allows access to the “Alternate Search mode" for users who will practice alternate search strategies such as micro-strips, three-circle or micro-box, to solve the most difficult multiple burial searches that involve both close-proximity burials and signal overlap, as well as extended range which can be utilized in specific situations such as tree-well searches. The Easier interface and “intuitively ergonomic” navigation opens this functionality to many recreational users—this function provides a reliable indication of exactly when to switch to an alternate search strategy versus when you can rely on the signal separation. Educators will especially appreciate the simplicity of teaching this beacons' advanced functions compared to the Pulse, as all brands of beacons require similar "alternate search" techniques in the event of close-proximity multiple burials, the Pro Search function simply offers an easy way to recognize when the searcher needs to switch to an alternate search strategy due to signal overlap, versus the usual scenario when they can continue to rely on the beacon's signal separation.
The Barryvox is super-simple and is capable of extremely easy single-burial searches as well as complex multiple burial searches using the enhanced signal separation.
The Barryvox S and Barryvox both use the new Barrymount carrying system. This harness is one-hand accessible and prevents the beacon from accidentally switching to Search while in the harness.
Both beacons feature a new switch that has no mid-positions so the switch doesn't get hung-up in-between the OFF/SEND/SEARCH positions--this means it cant be "on" but then because the switch hasn't locked in place accidentally move to off or search--the positive switch-lock prevents this. They are also much less likely to accidentally turn on in storage or transport. Both beacons feature very large screens (2.2” BarryvoxS, 2.0” Barryvox) that are backlit for easy visibility in bright sunlight or darkness and function with polarized lenses. The battery compartment features an easily replaceable door with enhanced durability, all replaceable battery contacts, and a slightly larger space for a more forgiving fit with various battery brands. The Barrymount carrying system features easier adjustment and one-handed operation and prevents stowing the beacon while in SEARCH and prevents the beacon from being switched to either SEARCH or OFF while stowed.
The Barryvox is the simplest beacon and will appeal to those who place the highest priority on simplicity. The Barryvox has by far the longest range in it's class, and new background programming that provides very fast signal pickup and reduces the incidence of signal-overlap during multiple burial searches makes this beacon even easier to use and more effective than its predecessor the Element.
1) “Auto Guidance” and “Smart Search” background programming provides both new and seasoned users with improved functionality and faster, uninterrupted searches. These features operate in the background in the beacons standard operating mode, so the user doesn't have to "do" anything, simply follow the arrow all the way through the search, which culminates in a "probe here" icon.
2) Access to the “Pro Search” function in order to definitively tell the user when to switch to an alternate search strategy (micro strips, etc) to quickly identify and solve close-proximity multiple burials involving signal overlap. Whereas the Pulse had a reputation of being more involved to use in its advanced settings, the far easier user interface and intuitive navigation opens this function up to many recreational users.
The BarryvoxS has already been in use by Canadian Mountain Holidays at one of their remote fly-in lodges this winter. A few additional beacons have been used by journalists, educators and others, and the final, final feedbacks are being incorporated into the finished units this Winter and Spring. The new Barryvox and Barryvox S beacons will become available for sale in North America around October 1, 2017. In the interim, it's possible that you will start seeing a few sneak-peaks and product reviews, such as this one from Wildsnow (link).
For operators where having a homogeneous fleet is important, we'll do our best to accommodate your needs. We are no longer able to supply new Pulse or Element beacons, but we have a limited supply of dedicated warranty-replacement beacons should we need to replace one of your beacons under our 5-year warranty. At some point over the next couple years we will run out of these. After that time, any replacement under warranty will need to be with the new BarryvoxS and Barryvox beacons. We know this isn't a perfect solution so if you have concerns please give us a call and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
For operators utilizing Mammut's fleet management tools (link) the new beacons will work with the W-link Adaptor and Tester similarly to the Pulse and Element. A new Service Software version will be necessary to work with the new beacons, which should be available Fall of 2018. We'll have more details on this as we get closer.
If you have questions about the new beacons please don't hesitate to contact us.
Looking forward to seeing these in the wild.
We're getting word they'll be shipping to retailers in the US and Canada right around October 1st, shouldn't be long now!
I ordered the Barryvox at the beginning of October and it's now almost mid-November. Any update on when these will be released?
If you are outside the US and Canada I have no visibility on tumeline and you'd need to contact the Mammut office in your country--I do know they are behind in delivering but they are being delivered, so they are on the way.
I also ordered in early Oct. from MEC Vancouver BC Canada. They can't give me any info on ETA.
It's now close to Dec.
Jake, a BarryvoxS delivery is incoming--it takes a little time to get to Mec from us but they should receive some within about 2 weeks, give or take a few days to account for crossing the border, etc. Hope this helps and thanks for bearing with us!
Does this beacon have anywhere to attach a cord/leash?
Hello--yes, of course! There is a leash with clip included with the beacon, this attaches via a recessed part on the bottom edge of the beacon. The Barrymount harness includes an eye specifically so you can clip the transceiver to it to avoid the possibility of spending time searching for your beacon when you could be searching for an avalanche victim. For people who prefer to carry the beacon in their pocket, then it's important to do so only in a ZIPPERED pocket and to always use the leash to attach the beacon to a belt or belt loop so it can't be dropped.
Hi Dave, has the Pulse function gone away?
Ken, The Barryvox S does still have the VITAL data function.
I got my barryvox last year and it works great. But I've turned it on a few times this fall for practice and everything works fine except for the fact it doesn't beep or make sound anymore. Any way I can turn it back on? I've checked the manual and there is nothing in there.
contact the appropriate service center for your country and they can help you. | 2019-04-23T14:19:49 | http://www.mammutavalanchesafety.com/2017/03/new-mammut-barryvox-and-barryvoxs.html |

Listening to Lou Reed's Busload of Faith and watching the latest on the Brett Kavanaugh hearings. Is this Reality? Are we still debating on the right of women to control what can or can't be done with their bodies? I'm not dreaming am I? We are still animals aren't we? I hate these old white men trying to retain their grip on the patriarchy.
One question, of course, is that of power and at what concentration does it corrupt. Another question concerning power is the one related to the quote by Nietzsche - The world itself is the will to power. The question is: is the world nothing more than the drive for power? On one level, this appears to be true. Deeper, however, is the undercurrent that exists in humanity, a desire to awaken from our nightmare. A desire to arise and live in waters that nurtures rather than corrupts, waters that feed rather than drown us. This won’t happen until we look patriarchy in the eyes and kick it square in the balls, maybe then, reality will resemble something closer to what we believe. | 2019-04-20T18:10:18 | http://www.timeisspace.net/stuff/2018/9/20/east-vs-west-12 |

Interest in Jazzercise grew rapidly, especially when Sheppard Missett moved the business to fitness mecca Southern California in 1971. The first instructors were trained in the 1970s and the business franchised in 1983. By 1984, Jazzercise was declared the “2nd fastest growing franchise” behind Domino’s Pizza.
Today, the company boasts 8,300 franchisees in 32 countries and earns roughly $100M per year. With 200,000 customers dancing and sweating to Jazzercise choreography each year, millions of lives have been touched during the company’s 50-year history.
Jazzercise will celebrate the golden anniversary with a 2-day international convention and party June 28-29, 2019 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA. Over 2,000 people will attend the event that will be filled with dance fitness classes, live entertainment, international guest performers, surprise announcements and big reveals about the brand’s future. Kicking off Friday night June 28th with an opening night gala, the weekend will also feature a specialty 50th anniversary merchandise & apparel shop, behind-the-scenes tours of the corporate offices in Carlsbad, CA, and an interactive museum that chronicles the many industry “firsts” Jazzercise has accomplished. “This will be a celebration like we’ve never seen before,” says 36-year teaching veteran and Senior Vice President of Licensing and Events, Kenny Harvey.
To celebrate her own 50 years of teaching and running a business, Sheppard Missett has written a book filled with the business lessons she’s learned along the way: "Building a Business with a Beat: Leadership Lessons from Jazzercise – an Empire Built on Passion, Purpose and Heart." As she tells it, the goal in sharing her experience is to “empower others to embrace their passion, trust their instincts and go for it!” The book is scheduled to publish June 14, 2019 by McGraw-Hill.
Given their proven grit, company earnings and global presence, Jazzercise, Inc. is poised to take on the next 50 years stronger than ever. | 2019-04-25T10:36:50 | https://www.jazzercise.com/Media-center/Press-Releases/Press-Release-Wrap/Jazzercise-is-50-Years-Strong-in-2019 |
The First World War created disfigured and mutilated bodies on a grand scale. Never before had the bodies of soldiers been so devastated by a conflict. Developments in established weapons such as cannons and machine guns, and terrifying innovations such as poison gas, created a relative army of disfigured and mutilated men. Some men lost multiple limbs and sensory organs such as eyes. No part of the body was safe from the potential of severe and life-changing wounds. Owing to new and advanced medical specialities, surgical techniques, and technical innovations, soldiers survived wounds that in previous conflicts might have killed them. Wounds healed, but often bodies were left badly disfigured and mutilated. These men had to manage not only the result of their bodily wounds, but also their emotional trauma and their new role as disabled veterans. For these damaged men, their war was over, but recovery, rehabilitation, and reintegration presented a new set of challenges.
While war is no stranger to mangled bodies, the First World War was unprecedented as it created a significant number of mutilated and disfigured men, many more than in previous conflicts. This article focuses particularly on the Western Front, a battleground established early in the war, where new forms of weaponry created new types of bodily injury. The siege-style warfare of bombing and shelling on the Western Front meant that significant numbers of men were killed and others badly wounded on the periphery of a direct hit. New developments in weapons such as machine guns and grenades and more frightening and mysterious weaponry such as poison gas created an unprecedented range of mutilating and disfiguring wounds internally and externally. These innovations in weapons and unspecific targeting circumvented the basic personal safety equipment provided to the fighting men, such as helmets and gas masks, and wreaked havoc on the body. No part of the soldier’s body was safe. Limbs were shattered by shrapnel and needed to be amputated to save patients’ lives. Gas blistered lungs and caused lifelong breathing difficulties and blindness. Gunshot wounds left random scars on bodies, a permanent reminder of war. The nature of trench warfare on the Western Front meant that faces were particularly vulnerable to gunshot wounds. Repairing faces presented a challenge to the medical profession and exposed a new type of visual horror.
Since Joanna Bourke’s seminal book Dismembering the Male was published in 1996, there has been a growing interest from historians in the historiography of the impact of war, and its permanent and devastating effects on the body. Wounding is discussed in texts that focus on medical care in the conflict, such as Leo van Bergen’s 1999 book, Before My Helpless Sight. Although van Bergen’s book focussed on wounding in all warring nations on the Western Front, much of the research which followed his book has centred on individual nations. The work which centres on mutilation and disfigurement concentrates on the ways that men with specific wounds were treated in hospitals and rehabilitation centres and, after their demobilisation, the ways in which they negotiated their identity, health, and perceptions of those around them. Ana Carden-Coyne and Jeffrey Reznick have concentrated on Britain; Sabine Kienitz, Heather Perry, and Wolfgang Eckart have examined Germany; Beth Linker has analysed disabled veterans in the United States. There have been few comparative studies except for Deborah Cohen’s study on disabled ex-servicemen’s experiences in Britain and Germany, Marjorie Gehrhardt’s study of facial disfigurement in Britain, France, and Germany and Susanne Michl’s book comparing Germany and France. Sophie Delaporte’s study on the facially disfigured in France is the most specific, as it concentrates on a particular type of wound in one nation. As might be expected, analysis of mutilation and disfigurement has been confined to the largest nations: Britain, France, and Germany, and to a lesser extent the United States, with the exception of Pieter Verstraete and Christine van Everbroeck’s work on Belgian soldiers’ wounds. There remains plenty of scope for historians in the future to analyse the impact of this specific type of wounding, treatment regimens, and reception in other nations.
While there are a number of arguments centring on whether or not war advanced medical practice, war certainly led to new techniques and technologies in the field of treating cases of mutilation and disfigurement. Complex war wounds led to collaboration between different medical specialities to repair unprecedented bodily damage.
Two medical specialties in particular developed new techniques to treat the vast numbers of cases of mutilating and disfiguring wounds. The first was orthopaedics. It was already an established medical speciality before the war, but throughout the war techniques were advanced and new technologies developed. Amputation was the most common operation performed by orthopaedic surgeons during the war. Plastic surgery also developed further as a result of the significant number of injuries to the face and head. Specifically concentrating on the face, plastic surgeons painstakingly operated to recreate some semblance of a soldier’s pre-war appearance. Developments in military medicine served to alleviate advances in weapons that caused bodily damage.
Dedicated hospitals and institutions were established to treat these specific wounds. Often, the hurried efforts of surgeons at the front meant that amputee soldiers required further surgical procedures to repair and improve their amputation. Patients also needed time to recover from surgery. Following procedures, a prosthesis needed to be fitted and rehabilitative therapy commenced. In many cases, specialist limb fitters were placed in hospitals to ensure that the soldiers or sailor received the best fitting prosthesis. Specialist hospitals were established as those with amputation required specific types of treatment and rehabilitation was important in order to return amputees to the work force to assist the war effort.
The organisation of hospitals and centres differed nationally. In Britain, the largest hospital for military amputees in England was Roehampton, a short distance outside London, and Erskine Hospital, just outside Glasgow, was the second largest. The hospital facilities also housed limb-fitting workshops, where the amputee soldiers were fitted with their artificial limbs. There were significant numbers of specialist hospitals in Germany. At the hospitals, work therapy or Arbeitstherapie for amputees was the established method of rehabilitation, and a number of centres that focussed on different types of employment were set up for post-convalescence. In most countries, hospitals combined medical care and rehabilitative regimes with the fitting of limbs and training for work. In the United States, two hospitals became centres for orthopaedic care – the Letterman General Hospital in San Francisco and the Walter Reed General Hospital in Washington.
High quality centres for the treatment of facial wounds were established by a number of doctors during the war. In Britain, Harold Gillies (1882-1960) opened a specialist hospital, the Queens Hospital, to treat soldiers with facial wounds. The Dominions, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia provided specialist surgeons for their own soldiers at the hospital in the southeast of England, which by 1918 contained more than a thousand beds. Gillies had originally worked with dentist, Charles Valadier (1873-1931), at the front and they concentrated on a combination of functional repair and the aesthetic of the face. In Paris, Hippolyte Morestin (1869-1919) worked to repair the faces of French soldiers wounded in war. Jacques Joseph (1865-1934) operated at the Charité in Berlin, where he performed plastic surgery on the facially wounded men of the German army. As well as providing specialist surgical treatment, the hospitals in warring nations provided specific kinds of associated therapy. For disfiguring wounds of the face, particular care had to be taken with mental health issues as well as physical restoration.
Limb amputation was one of the most common practices during the war. Many thousands of limbs were amputated and lives were saved through its use. It is estimated in Germany that the number of amputations totalled 67,000 and 41,000 in Britain. Many soldiers believed that they would rather die than be maimed, yet doctors at the fronts saved many thousands of soldiers through amputation.
Limbs were amputated for a number of reasons. They were often shredded as a result of shrapnel or explosions; machine guns shattered bones in arms or legs. Compound fracture, or one where the bone was shattered and projected through the skin, was a complex wound, and limbs were often amputated. Often there was no bone left to join together, and the threat of complications such as infection meant that performing an amputation was safer for the patient. Environmental conditions increased the number of amputations and not all amputations were the result of traumatic injury. On the Western Front, amputations were conducted in cases of trench foot, caused by poor foot hygiene and immersion in trenches full of water. Furthermore, infection was often a complication in wounds. If gas gangrene affected an arm or leg, further amputations were conducted in order to save the soldier’s life.
Much of the work for orthopaedic surgeons on all sides of the conflict was centred on amputation. Orthopaedic surgeons conducted amputations for centuries, and innovations in anaesthetic, antiseptic use, and a range of surgical techniques improved patient outcomes during the war. Specific methods, care, and surveillance were employed to improve results and survival rates, and these were communicated to other surgeons by senior practitioners. In 1915 in Germany, Fritz Lange (1864-1952) a Munich orthopaedist published a field manual for army doctors. In Kriegs-Orthopädie (War Orthopaedics) he outlined methods to treat and transport patients with shattered limbs. In Britain, Robert Jones (1857-1933), who became Director of Military Orthopaedics published Notes on Military Orthopaedics in 1917. Publications such as these provided less experienced surgeons with guidance on practices and techniques to improve surgical and post-operative outcomes.
Long-held views on surgical treatment were challenged during the First World War. The range of damage to the body was often so extensive that different methods were employed to ensure the patient’s survival. Debridement, where flesh was removed, which was not employed in the early part of the war, was rediscovered and used effectively to prevent complications. The flap amputation, where a piece of skin covered the exposed amputation site, creating a padded area to make a healthy stump, was common in the 19th century and was effectively used during the war.
Surgeons at the front and in hospitals in their home country conducted thousands of amputations, from fingers to legs. Many soldiers endured multiple amputations, as the force of an explosion tore limbs from the body. However, American-born Ethelbert “Curley” Christian (1882-1954) who served in the Canadian army, was thought to be the only soldier to survive having all four of his limbs amputated.
Many surgeons became very skilled in the art of amputation through extensive practice. Surgeons at the front or on-board ships often amputated numbers of patients at a time. Often their hurried procedures left painful nerves exposed or an unsuitable stump so those amputations were tidied up away from the front by hospital surgeons who had more time to perform surgery in less pressured conditions. Some soldiers had four or five re-amputations in order to create a stump suitable for a prosthesis to be fitted.
There was much discussion amongst surgeons about where to amputate. In the First World War, surgeons undertook the practice of limb saving, which meant that they amputated as little of the limb as possible. One of the most important factors for a patient’s successful recovery after amputation was the correct surgical creation of the stump. Irregular stumps often made it difficult for technicians to fit an artificial limb. The stump was a vital component of the body-prosthesis nexus and needed to be surgically well-formed in order to provide a strong basis for the good fit and the best function of the prosthesis.
The stump had to be strong and painless. Many soldiers endured bulbar nerve surgery, as their stumps were sometimes painful due to exposed nerves. While they were in the hospital, many soldiers hardened their stumps by rubbing them with methylated spirits and wrapped them in tight bandages as they were healing. The stump also needed to shrink before it was fitted with a prosthesis. Soldiers learned to use their artificial limbs which often took many months. Early in the war, many soldiers were discharged from hospitals early, as hospitals experienced difficulty coping with the number of amputees. However, lack of instruction in the use of the limb affected soldiers’ stumps and, as one soldier noted, hospitals were full of men requiring treatment for sores on their stumps.
Prostheses were provided for amputee soldiers. New materials and designs were developed, ensuring that amputees were provided with the most advanced artificial limb available. Nations mobilised designers to create prosthetic limbs and a workforce to make them. In Germany, a great deal of effort was put into developing new devices to assist amputees. Owing to their experience in the Civil War, American manufacturers, whose numbers had increased significantly after that conflict, were invited to Britain to share their expertise and develop new prosthetics. For the first time, limb manufacturers worked closely with surgeons, a co-operation between the art of surgery and the craft of limb manufacture and fitting.
In the early part of the war, limb designs were similar to those developed in the 19th century. Heather Perry states that from the beginning of the war, German orthopaedists realised that they would need better prosthetics than were available. Usually, arms and legs were made of wood, although metal was used as the war progressed, and were attached to the body using a range of leather straps and laces. A full leg amputation was often attached with a strap over the shoulder, as wooden prosthetic legs were very heavy. Arms were attached to the body with complicated harnesses, which often made them quite difficult to use.
As there were so many amputees, the pace of production of prosthetics was difficult to maintain throughout the war. One American orthopaedic surgeon estimated in 1915 that French limb makers were only able to manufacture 700 prostheses for the 7,000 amputees that required them. In Britain, some of the 200 American prosthetic limb manufacturers were invited to establish workshops at the Queen Mary’s Limb fitting hospital at Roehampton, just outside London. As many soldiers required prostheses, attempts to improve the speed at which limbs were supplied by making standard parts and fitting them together was adopted. Nevertheless, the number of amputees put pressure on the limb fitter’s ability to make the prosthesis and train the amputees to use their artificial limbs effectively. Limb fitters, surgeons, and disabled soldiers were concerned with three main issues: fit, function and camouflage.
Prosthetic arms were more difficult than legs to produce, as it was problematic to attach arms to the body. A complicated series of leather straps and laces was required, which made an artificial arm heavy and difficult for the wearer to manoeuvre. A range of implements to fit the arm prosthesis were developed, including eating utensils and tools. Small design adjustments made a difference in improving the prosthesis’ usefulness to the soldier. Often, this made the limb aesthetically different, creating an unfamiliar limb and an altered human form. Efforts were made to maintain recognisable physical standards, yet make limbs functional. The Openshaw hand had two little fingers strengthened with metal so that items could be carried. Yet functional limbs were not often very attractive to the public, so attempts were made to hide artificial limbs, particularly outside the work environment. In Germany, the “Sunday arm” was worn when a soldier wanted to disguise his amputation. If the limbs fitted well, functioned properly, and maintained standards of acceptable physiognomy, it was easier to hide the fact that a soldier or sailor wore an artificial limb.
Despite these new innovations, many artificial arms and legs were discarded when the men left hospital and only used on special occasions. Poor fit, a lack of training in their use, and the soldier’s inability to adapt to the limb often meant that prostheses remained unused.
A prosthetic limb was compensation from the state for bodily loss, though some nations rewarded their disabled veterans more comprehensively than others. In addition to pensions, the British government provided a limb to each amputee veteran and by 1925 all amputees from the war were given a second limb as a substitute when a limb went for repair. In the United States, the Office of the Surgeon General effectively mandated the use of artificial limbs, to ensure that amputee veterans “passed” as able-bodied citizens after they were discharged. In Germany, prostheses were provided by the state and centred on a veteran’s ability to work.
The bodies of the wounded were mutilated. Skin was cauterised and flayed from the body, burnt and mangled. Gunshot and shrapnel wounds left permanent marks and disfigurement. The skin on men’s trunks and backs was blistered and damaged from gas. Broken limbs could be repaired or removed and skin healed over what were once gaping wounds. But evidence of wounding left indelible marks on the body, which the medical profession could not remove. Moreover, the surgery required to repair injuries and sew skin together left visible scars. Amputation of a limb left a scarred stump. The mutilation of sexual organs was an issue that caused intense physical and psychological trauma, and for which nothing could be done. Wounds to soldiers’ sexual organs are rarely mentioned in the medical literature and there are few figures available on the number of soldiers who suffered this type of injury. In her book The Forbidden Zone, the former nurse Mary Borden (1886-1968) wrote about the level of damage to bodies including “mangled testicles”. Not all disfigurement was external. Gas also caused internal wounds and scarring on the lungs, which caused breathing problems. The extent of the emotional impact of wounding was difficult to measure. The psychological and emotional trauma associated with disfigurement and mutilation went hand-in-hand with physical injury. There were many ways that war wounds affected the body and mind, causing permanent scarring.
Evidence of disability caused through war wounds was often camouflaged. Bodily wounds were hidden by clothing, as with an arm or leg amputation. However, not all scarring could be disguised. One of the more common disfiguring wounds was to the face, and the effects of the damage was difficult to hide. Although surgical techniques developed extensively during the war, some faces were too badly mutilated and the only option was to hide the remaining mutilation. Masking the facially wounded was a way to integrate them into society. Prosthetic appliances for the face were developed before the First World War; in France, silver facial prostheses were developed as early as 1833. During the First World War, new techniques were utilised for those whom surgery could not help. Artists were fundamental in the creation of camouflage of mutilated faces. In Britain, Frances Derwent-Wood (1871-1926) worked in what became known as the “tin noses shop” to create masks for British soldiers. In late 1917, after consultation with Wood, Anna Coleman-Ladd (1878-1939) opened the Studio for Portrait Masks in Paris, administered by the American Red Cross and situated in the city's Latin Quarter. In her workshop in France, Coleman-Ladd made masks for men to wear to hide their disfigured faces and became highly skilled at creating and fitting them. Other artists such as Jane Poupelet (1874-1932) and Robert Wlérick (1882-1944) assisted Coleman-Ladd, and the studio was incorporated into the Vale-de-Grâce military hospital after the war. Made of materials such as tin and enamel, the masks were carefully painted in the patient’s skin tones and correct eye colour to ensure a lifelike appearance. Ladd would take plaster casts of a soldier's face in an attempt to re-create an identical cheekbone or eye-socket on the opposite side. Ladd then crafted a full or partial mask out of copper, which she painted to match the skin while the soldier was wearing it. Of the nearly 3,000 or so French soldiers requiring masks, Ladd made about 185. These partial masks were attached to the face with spectacles or ribbon and provided the wearer the means to cover the parts of their faces that were missing or that contemporary surgical skill did not have the means to repair.
The masks were often uncomfortable to wear as the tin rubbed the face. Many French veterans did not wear their masks, instead preferring to tie a cloth around the disfigured portion of their face. The question remains: were the masks to protect the disfigured servicemen, or for the public who did not want to see the unsettling visage of the mutilated face? Some of the men rarely wore their masks, while other conceived it as an important part of their identity.
In national contexts, the experience of facial wounding differed radically. In Britain, many of those with facial wounds were isolated in hospitals. Conversely, in France, the gueules cassées named themselves as a distinct group of war wounded and established a powerful organisation which represented them.
While many soldiers tried to hide the evidence of mutilation and the disfiguring impact of conflict on their bodies, the medical profession exposed the wounded and their wounds. Mutilation and disfigurement was documented through medical illustrations, paintings, and casts of wounds. Photography was used to chart a patient’s progress and demonstrate the healing process. Generally, these images and objects were used to train new medical personnel. Through this documentation, medical practitioners were able to track the progress of their outcomes and improve their practice. A number of artists, from sculptors to painters, documented the experience of wounded servicemen. In Germany, Joseph documented the healing of facial wounds of soldiers through photography. Albums full of photographs of the facially wounded from a hospital in Britain show their initial wound and the final result of many surgical procedures. Other, more traditional forms of art were used to document soldiers and sailors’ wounds. In Britain, Henry Tonks (1862-1937) drew the facially wounded in pastel drawings for Gillies. Kathleen Scott (1878-1947), a noted sculptor, volunteered to help Gillies, declaring with characteristic aplomb that the "men without noses are very beautiful, like antique marbles." Artists from the British colonies and dominions also illustrated the wounding and recovery process, including New Zealander Herbert Cole (1867-1930) and Australian Daryl Lindsay (1889-1976). In addition, the work of artists, photographers, and surgeons was designed to assist in the psychological healing process, which was just as important as the physical reconstruction of the face.
During the war, plastic surgery of the face became a medical specialty in itself. Surgical methods for repairing faces damaged as a result of gunshot wounds or shells advanced during the war. It has been argued that the sheer number of facially wounded men provided the means for surgeons to advance medical practice. The number of injuries to the face was significant; it has been estimated that approximately 280,000 men suffered facial wounding in France, Germany, and Great Britain.
Prior to the war, plastic surgery of the face was an established practice and certain areas of the face were surgically altered as related to social and cultural acceptability. In particular, surgeons operated and tried to surgically improve the aesthetics of syphilitic and “racially unacceptable” noses. In cases of facial wounding, many surgeons merely sewed up wounds, less concerned with aesthetics than a successful surgical outcome. The smashed eye sockets, non-existent jaws, and noses presented by the war wounded were a real challenge to the technical expertise of surgeons. Repairing facial wounds became more an aesthetic exercise, as wounded servicemen got the best treatment possible for the sacrifice of their faces to the war effort. In some cases, the facially wounded soldier found it difficult to be accepted by his own family – let alone strangers whom he encountered. Instead of merely sewing up the face, the male aesthetic was considered in the surgical repair of the men’s faces. Indeed, Sander Gilman argues that the war had a positive effect on the acceptability of plastic surgery for aesthetic reasons. He argues that reconstructive surgery became masculinised and therefore more acceptable. Yet plastic surgery in the First World War was more than just facial repair by a surgeon – it required a constant series of collaborations between surgeons, dentists, nurses, photographers, and artists. Reconstructive dentistry in particular was fundamental to the rebuilding of the face. The mechanical dentist provided knowledge of the reconstruction of the bones of the jaw, which provided the expertise and skill for the face to be rebuilt and functions such as chewing and swallowing restored. The collaboration between these individuals overlapped as expertise was required throughout the process of healing and reconstruction.
This new approach and its collective of experts required spaces to treat patients. Surgeons persuaded their respective military medical authorities that they needed to set up special centres for treating maxillofacial wounds. Centres were established in all warring nations which provided specialist surgery, care, which helped men to accept and live with their disfigurement as well as they could outside the confines of the hospital. In Britain, facially wounded soldiers were sent to centres for treatment and were isolated from the wider public. Visits by the public to these hospitals were not encouraged as men grappled with accepting their frightening facial wounds. In these hospitals, mirrors were banned from the wards and benches in the local area were painted blue in order to warn the public that a soldier with facial wounds might sit there.
Transporting soldiers with facial wounds to the hospitals was problematic. Often, for those with multiple wounds, the reconstruction of the face was left until last, as doctors dealt with other wounds considered life threatening. By the time patients got to specialist units, their faces had started to heal, which made reconstruction difficult for maxillofacial surgeons to repair their wounds. In Britain, Harold Gillies went so far as to have tags printed with the address of his specialist unit at Aldershot hospital which were then distributed in field hospitals, so that he was able to conduct surgery and limit the permanent damage to the facially wounded soldier.
Many surgeons and medical practitioners devised innovative ways to treat the facially wounded. One of the most successful innovations was the tubed pedicle. The procedure created a flap of skin from the chest or forehead, which was moved into place on the face. The flap remained attached to the body, but was stitched into a tube to keep the blood supply intact and reduced the incidence of infection. Jaws were repaired by transplanting bone from other parts of the body, or using bones from other sources. While the results and outcomes were not always successful, a significant amount of effort was undertaken in order to restore the mutilated faces of soldiers.
After the war, film, photography, and literature reminded the public of the physical effects of war on the body. In particular, the pacifist movement utilised depictions of mutilated men to highlight their anti-war message. The army of disabled men in all nations reminded the public of the human suffering that war caused. The impact of the war and its disfigured and mutilated had lasting cultural resonances, as seen throughout the century since its commencement, in the on-going production of a wide range of media relating to these men’s experiences and the war itself.
In different nations, the mutilated and disfigured from the war were treated differently. The veteran with an empty sleeve or trouser leg, an uneven gait, or a stiff arm with a gloved hand became commonplace in the post-war world. In many ways, their bodily loss represented their wartime experience, and was accepted by the public, often uneasy at the scale of the physical and emotional sacrifice of so many men. That said, many veterans with amputations walked carefully to hide their limp or wore a realistic hand or glove on their artificial arm in an attempt to disguise their amputation, no doubt for a number of reasons. However, those with facial disfigurement experienced complex feelings about their war service and their place in post-war society. The facially wounded in France, perhaps defiantly, showed their faces in public, whereas in other countries, many of those with facial disfigurements preferred to avoid exposure to a curious public. For many veterans mutilated and disfigured during the war, remembering their war service and devastating injuries was uncomfortable, and the physical reminder of the war – their missing body part, scarred body, weak lungs, or disfigured face – sometimes elicited unwanted attention.
The powerful and disturbing image of the disfigured and mutilated, particularly those with facial wounds, was used by a range of groups and individuals to convey a message. Pacifists used artists’ work to highlight the devastation of war, to ensure peace was maintained. The anti-war museum in Germany took photos of the mutilated and showed them in order to remind the public of the horrific maiming capacity of modern weaponry. Ernst Friedrich’s (1894-1967) War Against War showed twenty-four photographs from Joseph’s clinic at the Charité in Berlin to remind visitors to the exhibition of the terrifying visage that war created. Other artists such as Georg Grosz (1893-1959) who is probably best known for his work Ecce Homo (1922), also used the mutilated face to demonstrate the lasting horror of the legacy of war. After the war, exhibitions of casts of the disfigured faces of veterans were shown in hospitals in London, Berlin, and Paris. It is difficult to ascertain the reasons why the public attended these exhibitions, but they served a potent reminder of the devastating effects of modern weaponry.
Novels, photography, and film have been inspired by the experiences of the war mutilated. The 2001 film La chambre des officiers, based on the novel by Marc Dugain, focused on the experiences of a number of officers in a specialist French facial ward. When a young boy is confronted by his father’s radically altered face, he shouts “Non mon papa, non mon papa!” The 1971 film Johnny’s Got His Gun was adapted from the 1938 novel of the same name written by Dalton Trumbo (1905-1976). Both films depicted the physical and mental trauma of the disfigured and mutilated from the war and reminded audiences that for some disabled veterans, the emotional trauma of war had to be overcome on a daily basis.
The prosthetics created by the association between medical personnel, crafts people, and artists are a physical reminder of the technology of war, as much as the weaponry which wrought the damage on the soldiers’ bodies and which fills war museums around the world. Some of the material culture of disfigurement in the First World War is ephemeral. Very few of the masks made so painstakingly by artists such as Derwent Wood and Coleman-Ladd exist. Some veterans came to depend heavily on their masks to camouflage their disfigurement, and as part of their physical construction of self, they were buried wearing them. Although numbers of facially wounded men did not wear their masks on a daily basis, special occasions warranted their use, similar to the German “Sunday arm”, which was saved for church to protect others’ sensibilities. Artificial limbs survive in greater numbers, probably because veterans had a number of them throughout their lives, and the prosthetic arms and legs were fashioned of wood, leather, and metal and possess a robustness that a thin tin mask does not.
The war mutilated and disfigured were remembered in public commemoration of the war, yet this differed in national contexts. Amputees were publicly remembered and participated in Armistice Day commemorations. Other veterans, whose clothes hid their disfigurement, also participated in the marches to various cenotaphs that took place around the world on the date selected for reflection on war and loss. However, the facially disfigured in many nations did not take part; instead they remained in the shadows of remembrance. In France, unlike many other nations, the public saw the mutilated as they paraded with other war wounded. National contexts are fundamental to understanding the treatment and life experience of the mutilated and disfigured from the war.
It is clear that the First World War produced many thousands of mutilated and disfigured men. Veterans with metal or wooden legs or empty sleeves were seen on the streets of large cities around the world for decades before the First World War and the 1914-1918 conflict added significant numbers of amputees. Those with facial mutilation, whose injuries were virtually impossible to disguise, added a new type of war horror, as the public saw their war-ravaged faces. Medical specialities were created and new spaces were established to treat the disfigured and mutilated. The war provided the means for new medical innovations to be developed in these institutions, and the number of wounded meant treatment and techniques were tested and proven during the war. Co-operation between medical professionals improved outcomes for the severely wounded. New therapeutic regimes and a state responsibility for treating the mutilated and disfigured meant that veterans from the war re-established themselves as useful working citizens. However, different forms of mutilation and disfigurement engendered different reactions from the veteran, those around them, and the state.

Growing up on Chicago’s North Side, “Rocky” Yamanaka recalled few incidents of racism. “Me and my sister were the only Japanese. But we were curiosities to most of the Caucasians there,” he said.
Follow the story of “Rocky” Yamanaka, one of the few remaining Nisei who remembers life in Chicago before Japanese American resettlement, from his family’s difficulties in the Great Depression, his experiences in being drafted on V-J Day at the end of World War II, and his return to a Chicago that had drastically changed.
Still sharp of mind and looking rather spry for an 86-year-old, Yamanaka, with his thin frame and graying hair, remembers a time before World War II when fewer than 400 Japanese Americans called Chicago their home. Currently, there are only a handful of Chicago Nisei from before the war that are still alive today.
He was born in 1927 in the U.S. to parents who hailed from near Tokyo. His father first arrived in Chicago as a houseboy living with an American family in the early 1900s. Eventually obtaining an education and opening up a restaurant in the downtown area of Chicago, his father later married his mother and brought her back to the U.S. They would have two sons and two daughters, and Rocky was the third-oldest of his siblings.
The diner owned by his father was on Clark Street near Chicago Avenue, and served American fare typical of the many restaurants run by Nisei at the time, since an American audience for Japanese food had not developed in the 1920s and 1930s. But following the Great Depression, his father would eventually lose the restaurant, though he ended up working for another Nikkei restaurateur.
By this time his family had moved from the south end of downtown and settled in a crowded, coal-heated two-flat in the Geneva Terrace neighborhood on the North Side of Chicago. Walking a block and a half to Lincoln Elementary School, he went to classes in a predominantly Caucasian community.
His childhood memories included playing “kitten ball” (also known as “mushball,” a form of 16-inch softball popular in Chicago) with Caucasian neighborhood kids. Early on he evinced a talent for drawing, and even received a summer scholarship to take a class at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Yet through his childhood, experiences of racism on the basis of his Japanese ancestry seemed rare, perhaps owing to the fact that the small Nikkei community was not seen as much of a threat in Chicago compared to areas on the West Coast, where virulent anti-Japanese sentiment had been the norm.
Though his childhood friends tended to be Caucasian, he does remember attending Japanese American events, including community picnics with his family, as well as annual ceremonies honoring the Japanese emperor’s birthday held on the South Side of Chicago. Another important memory involved going with a large group of Japanese to the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair to see the Japanese Pavilion there, and having iced green tea for the first time, a relative novelty at the time.
When Rocky turned ten years old, his older brother developed rheumatic fever, a common childhood illness of the period. His brother ended up being treated at the La Rabida Sanitarium in Jackson Park (now the La Rabida Children’s Hospital), and since his family didn’t have a car, it would take them hours by streetcars to go that far south. Later his brother returned home and though bedridden for a while, recovered enough to go to school. Despite his seeming recovery, his condition worsened and he passed away in May 1938.
Following the passing of his brother, his mother got ill for a long time, and then when she recovered, his father also got sick, due to an ulcer exacerbated by these family stresses. Rocky’s father would eventually pass away in December 1939. Both his father and brother were interred at Montrose Cemetery, one of the few cemeteries that accepted Japanese American remains for interment.
Through assistance from the Japanese Mutual Aid Society of Chicago, his family eventually stayed in an apartment on Oak Street that the association ran. This experience provided his first significant exposure to the Nikkei community and through his time there he met other Nisei like himself.
He would eventually learn a little of the Japanese alphabet there but never learned to speak Japanese like some of his Nisei friends. They stayed at the association from about 1939 through 1941, before his mother finally found employment.
When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, his family still lived at the association. Though he was only 14 years old at the time, he can still recall his thoughts today.
Lacking a strong family connection to Japan and being situated in the Midwest, the unfolding of the war seemed somewhat far away to Rocky as he went to high school.
After his mother got a job they were able to rent a place on nearby Wells Street. His mother faced a great deal of difficulty in picking up after his father passed away, but she eventually worked in the restaurant business and ended up managing a restaurant after a couple of years, demonstrating her tenacity in the face of their family struggles.
During this time he attended Waller High School (now called Lincoln Park High School), first at the Waller branch before transferring to the main school for his last two years. At this school he met a number of other Nisei who attended as well.
By the time that he graduated high school in the spring of 1944, he fully expected that he would be drafted into the war effort.
Despite the war ending, Rocky still had to get inducted to fulfill his Selective Service duties. As he noted, he and his fellow enlistees were supposed to be sent to nearby Fort Sheridan by noon of that day.
Following this, the Army sent him to Camp Fannin in Tyler, Texas, where supplies ran low due to the consolidation of the armed forces at the end of the war. Three months later the Army transferred him to Fort Snelling in Minnesota, but since he couldn’t speak Japanese he couldn’t join the Military Intelligence Service (MIS) program. By the end of his service he ended up at the Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC) school at Camp Holabird in Maryland and joined the art department, becoming a staff sergeant, and the head non-commissioned officer there.
In 1947 he finished his military service. Still only 20 years old, he found that his hometown had drastically changed.
In speaking about the Nikkei that ended up resettling in Chicago from the Japanese American concentration camps, “Even before I got drafted they started coming into this area out of the camps. A lot of them moved to the South Side, like the Hyde Park area.” By 1947, the number of Nikkei in Chicago had rocketed to some 20,000 people.
Later he went to art school on the G.I. Bill and started a career as an illustrator at an art studio run by a former Disney animator.
All told, however, the Nikkei community had changed drastically from what he had known before. “The pre-war community no longer existed when I came back,” he said. “I never did have a community, because I lived in a Caucasian neighborhood, but I had to move into a Nisei group. Then I went in the Army and came back and the Nisei group was completely changed from what I remembered from two years before.
Despite the changes that have taken place in the Nikkei community of Chicago, Rocky continues to live as an embodiment of an era now gone, but for him, and thankfully because of him, it will not be forgotten.

Koen Lenaerts. Judge of the Court of First Instance of the European Communities; Professor of European Law, Catholic University of Leuven.
One of the outstanding features of the Treaty on European Union (hereinafter TEU) is that it formally recognizes a Community competence in the field of education. According to Article 3p, the activities of the Community include, “as provided in this Treaty,” “a contribution to education and training of quality.” The words “as provided in this Treaty” refer to the new Articles 126 (“education”) and 127 (“vocational training”), which together form a “Chapter” within the “Title” of Part Three of the EC Treaty (“Community Policies”) devoted to “Social Policy, Education, Vocational Training and Youth.” It may seem astonishing that precisely at a time when several Member States contest the steady expansion of Community powers, education is added to the list of subject matters in respect of which the Community is to assume a certain number of responsibilities. Indeed, education is one of those areas which appear to be particularly sensitive to the national or subnational identity of the peoples of Europe. This is undoubtedly why some Member States have entrusted to their constituent entities (such as the Belgian “Communities,” the German “Länder” or the Spanish “Comunidades Autónomas”) the power to deal with educational matters.
However, the truth is that Articles 126 and 127 of the EC Treaty do not extend the scope of Community powers to an entirely new domain; they instead essentially consolidate the acquis communautaire (safeguarded by Article C of the TEU) as this principle relates to Community legislation in the field of education. This body of legislation thus acquired a more solid constitutional basis than that provided by the former Article 128 of the EEC Treaty (repealed by the TEU), which concerned vocational training, but which had been interpreted by the Court of Justice in an unusually wide manner so as to cover major aspects of education in general. This dimension of the acquis communautaire will be examined in Part I. | 2019-04-20T16:33:43 | http://cjel.law.columbia.edu/print/1994/subsidiarity-and-community-competence-in-the-field-of-education/ |
I love Wednesdays. It's hump day. The middle of the week. And I have choir practice on Wednesday nights which I love. And then I get to come home and watch American Idol - which I love! Tonight was extra fun because Julie and I ate at chili's with four of our 10th grade DNOW girls before choir and youth church. They are such sweet girls and it was their idea! I can't believe they wanted to eat with old women but they did. They make me feel young and old all at the same time. Aren't they CUTE?????
Okay - haven't watched the girls yet (thank you DVR!) but my favorite guys are little precious David, the Australian, the guy with dreadlocks and the rock guy who has some red streaks in his spiky hair (kind of reminds me a little of Chris Daughtry). Obviously I have not learned all their names yet but I am just an American Idol FREAK!
Update: So the girls were pretty good. My favorites are the Carrie Underwood #2, sweet Brooke and the little asian girl - Ramiele - I just want to put her in my pocket she is so cute.
I mean it's like she has a bleach blond bob with a black wig on top? It freaks me out and I just don't like her at all. I don't like Carly either. I guess I'm just not into girl rockers. And also - did anyone else think that Paula was wearing a bad wig tonight?
I know what you mean about feeling young and old at the same time! My husband and I teach a newly married Sunday School class at our church and I love those girls so much. I feel like they are my friends and we have the best time together, but they are so much younger than me!!
You are so fun, Kelly! I know your DNOW girls must just love you!!! And I heart Wednesdays too!!
Who are you calling old...???!!! :) I just love those girls so much!
I especially like the guy with the dreadlocks!
Just wanted to let you know I made the cupcakes tonight and they are the bomb! My nieces were over and they LOVED them! Thanks for the great recipe! Also, I thought you had a chicken and veggie recipe on your blog that you said you fix a lot?? I can't find it and it looked yummy. Hope you are having a great day!!
I don't blame them for wanting to hang out with you! When are you coming to LR? We need to get together!!!
I am making the cupcakes next week when Jamie, R & A are here visiting.
So far, this season has the best group of finalist as far as talent goes..
Where does she come up with the comments? I mean, she told one of the guys "Don't be afraid to be courageous" Where did that come from???
And someone please teach her how to clap! She looks like a seal waiting for someone to throw a raw fish into her mouth! I keep thinking Simon is going to throw a beach ball up and see if she can balance it on her nose!!!
I'm with you on that hair.......it's a little freaky.
My husband and I have been trying to figure out how her hair happens - bleach and wig must be it! I can't wait to tell him I have solved the mystery!
Amanda Overmyer is from my home town!!! She does look a little scary but she is growing on me!!
Of course they invited you girls to eat with them....you all are so fun!!!!!!!!
Bless that girls heart...the one with the hair... I haven't watched A.I. so I am just now getting introduced to her. does she have a good voice??
You are amazing! How do you have time to do all that you do! What a mentor you are to those younger girls.
I wish I had a DVR!!!!!!!!!!!
The AI guys really disappointed me Tuesday night, so I didn't even watch the girls lastnight. And I'm a huge Big Brother fan. Did you DVR BB? I'll start faithfully watching AI when the numbers get lower.
Paula's hair....talk about BAD hair day. It's either totally in her eyes or like last night, flat to her head. The comments are too drawn out, like she can't remember what she wanted to say, and then that clap, I agree...seal like!
Hi! I love your blog and I can't remember whose I found it from or I would give them credit. ;) My hubby and I are totally into American Idol also! I was so bummed that I had to work last night & missed it! Guess I'll have to catch up via the website. Have a blessed day!
I am so glad that someone else is bothered by her hair!! Everytime I see her, I tell my husband, "I can't look at her and take her seriously, that hair is insane!!" Hopefully they will have some stylist intervene!!
Hey! Love the pic from Chili's! Of course those girls would want to hang out with ya'll!!
Sorry that I tagged you and you had already done that list! Oops! I followed your link and loved reading it though. I hate talking on the phone too. I even get my husband to call and make DR appointments while he is at work and I'm at home! I just hate it for some reason!
I haven't watched AI this season at all, but seeing that girl's hair, I just might have to check it out! :) I know the young girls must really admire you. Fun dinner!
Ya'll look so cute! What a great opportunity you have in those girls lives. They'll remember you forever.
I'm trying my best to boycott American Idol this year. We'll see if I can hold to that.
That's great that you and Julie had fun with the youth girls! How fun! EEEK about that contestant's hair! It is disturbing!
That hair is freaky-licios!! Horrible!!! Oh, how I would love to get my hands on it!!
I can't agree with you more about AI's "rocker chicks" - weird - and not my style either! I'm glad your keeping us posted on your thoughts - and it's fun to read the other comments! Yay for Kelly!!
her hair is o.o.c. (out-of-control!) and i am happy to say that our dog and baby get along so well. thanks for asking, you are too sweet!
It IS a blond whack-a-'do with a black wig. At first I thought maybe it was due to her car wreck, b/c she did say she had staples in her head... so I'm sure it messed up her hair... but then I saw in her audition, it was just as crazy. I could deal with blonde and black hair... but a wig that isn't pulled down all the way? That is just weird.
THANK YOU! It is just horrible! | 2019-04-24T07:48:59 | http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/2008/02/i-heart-wednesday.html |
Discussion in 'Basses [BG]' started by Dave Metts, Oct 28, 2001.
Also, how much are each going for (just ballpark figures) on both new and used markets?
I love the tone of each of these 3 basses, but I'm really looking for cutting ability as well.
I've owned both a Zon Sonus Custom 5 and Sadowsky Vintage 5. Both fretted. Both made-to-order. IMHO, the Zon Custom model is the best of the Sonus versions.
I have not found that a 34" vs. 35" scale makes any difference if the bass is designed correctly. Both my Zon and the Sadowsky have 34" scale where the Modulus had 35". The Sadowsky has a better (more articulate) "B" than either of them - and it has a one-piece maple neck. I think it's all in the design execution.
I've seen Zon Sonus Custom 5s going for around $1500. Sadowskys at around $2200. I'm sure there are deals around.
Nino can give you a great perspective on Spector and Sadowsky.
Bottom line, all three are great basses. It really will come down to what you prefer.
My Sonus 5/1 is 35". I thought all Zon 5's were. And the 4's were 34".
All three Zons I have owned (2 Sonus Customs, fretted and fretless and a Lightwave fretless) were all 34". All were 5 string.
Wow, you really do learn something everyday.
That is exactly what I expected to hear on the 34" vs. 35" scale issue. I know JT is a huge advocate of that viewpoint, and it seems to finally be gaining more acceptance across the board. At this point, I'm very interested in the Sadowsky and Zon (I've already got a Czech Spector, which people say is ALMOST as good as the US). How much do each go for brand new? I'm not talking about list or "retail," but how much do they normally sell for direct or from a store?
Sadowsky basses do not have this artificicial "list" price that is designed to make you "think" you're getting a deal because NO ONE actually sells the instrument for that price. A 5 string will run around $3000 - $3500 US depending on options. IMHO, they are worth every penny.
You can get a custom-made Zon Sonus Custom with a figured top and matching headstock for under $2500 US. Again, a great bass.
Both Joe and Roger are great to work with although I've found Roger to be more responsive and more accurate with his time estimates.
I've never hyad the pleasure to play a Zon bass because if I do, there will probably be a new thread in basses, "Went to lunch & bought a Zon."
Spector's & Sadowsky's. I have both & they're both 34" scale & the B's on both KILL!!!!!! They both cut through EXTREMLY WELL!!!!!! They both sound great. I don't like one's sound over another.
The thing is the Spector is kinda heavy. I love the countour of the body!!!!!I love the super quilt, I love the gold hardware. When I bought the Sadowsky, I kinda went in the opposite direction. No fancy figured top, black hardware, etc. It's a really tough choice!!!!!! Both basses will run you new @ about $3000. I've seen & sold Sadowsky 24 fret 5's in the $2000-2500 range used. I've seen Spector's sell for $1500-2000 used. Since you have an NS-5 CR, I'd personally go for the Sadowsky. But there is a nice Spector NS-5 XL on ebay for $1750 w/no reserve. <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1479554240"><b>CLICK HERE</b></a> to check it out.
I checked Zon's site, and even though my Sonus 5/1 as well as the Sonus j/j basses are 35" scale, their other Sonus 5's (Customs, etc.) are 34" scale. I wonder why. Any ideas?
Wow, with all of the differeing opinions this is going to be a tough one!
I definitely welcome all of the info. This is going to be something I won't be doing for quite a while (gotta get my amp situation sorted out - some of you may have been following those threads in "Amps"), but I like to start my research early.
Regarding the Sadowsky, which pickups are the better choice: Sadowsky's own or EMGs? Keep in mind I really have cutting power in mind (I know the tone would be great no matter what).
Also, what are you opinions on the Ash vs. Alder Zons. Also, do the top woods make a significant contribution to the tone?
I would love to be able to actually TRY these basses for myself, but there aren't many high-quality instrument to be found in this area.
Thanks for being patient with my stream of ridiculous questions!
I would call Roger to discuss the difference between the the 2 PU choices. He will definately provide you a thorough answer taking into consideration your specific needs. My fretted Sadowsky has single coil "J" Pups. I wanted that tone and it has worked well for every situation I've needed. The fretless I am having built will have EMGs based on Roger's recommendation regarding what i was searching for in a fretless design. Also, Roger probably has someone in your area that wouold let you check out their bass.
Regarding the Zon question, I asked the same question of Joe when I ordered mine. Ash is brighter. Also according to Joe, the top does make a difference - although I think it is very subtle.
I think you're asking great questions!
I have an all ash (no special top) Sonus Custom fretless (4 string) and love it's ability to cut. "Bright" would not be a word I'd use to describe the sound, but in all fairness, my amplification choice is probably having an effect there. If I was to aim for a bright sound, I have no doubt that I would be able to achieve it.
My experience is the same as yours with fretless Zons. When I ordered my first Zon it was a fretless Custom (the one embellisher has now). I loved that bass! It wasn't too bright at all. Well, I wanted a fretted just like it! So, when I got it, I was surprised at how bright it was. I talked to Joe several times about it - I wanted it to sound more like the fretless. In the end after playing several models, I realized I just wasn't crazy about fretted Zons - just wasn't my thing. Very different than the fretless models. I ended up returning it to him and having him make a fretless Lightwave instead.
Actually, the fact that Jeff bought it made it easier. He's a great guy and the fact he was local made it even better. I know he takes great care of it. The LW is also a beautiful bass. There's pics of it on my bass album below.
I saw the bodies before finishing & they're ABSOLULTY GEORGOUS!!!!!! If I wasen't in the hunt for a 4 stirng Sadowsky, the 2nd would be mine. It is INCREDIBLE LOOKING!!!!!!
I emailed Roger to see about how much a 24 fret 5 with an ash body, flame maple top (dark green stain), and maple fretboard will run. Now I'm wondering if I should look into some other fretboard, like ebony (don't even know if Roger will do a fretted ebony board). Those Sadowsky basses look so deceptively simple, but it's just as hard to to spec one of these out as it is to spec out a complete custom!
Do you know if Roger is making the second spalted maple bass fretless or fretted? I may be interested in it, though it's probably out of my price range.
If you wanted the other spalted body, I would bet you could choose most if not all the additional options, including the neck. Call Roger.
My Legacy Standard fretless 5 is a 34", so is my 84 Tobias, so was my Surine 7, etc. They all have or had excellent B's.
I just emailed Roger to ask about the second spalted body, and he said it was accounted for. However, he said they'd probably do some more in the future. So it looks like I'll be saving for a while so I can afford one.
Here's the real point of this post. He sent me some pictures of the two bodies. I'm glad I wear glasses, otherwise my eyes would have popped completely out of my head!
These bodies are absolutely amazing! I'd love to have a Sadowsky with a maple fretboard, EMG 40Js (I believe these will be better for funky and heavy playing), and one of those spalted tops.
I mean, WOW. You, sir, are a very lucky man. | 2019-04-19T09:36:37 | https://www.talkbass.com/threads/yet-another-comparison-thread.29867/ |

Hi folks I’m so so so excited to share this “recipe” with you! After chatting to the guys from The Riptide Movement about trying to make my kitchen and catering more sustainable (as part of their upcoming documentary Plastic Oceans) I was really determined that now was the time to get this piece written!
So a few weeks ago I had a go at making my own beeswax wraps. The concept has been around for a while - they’re an amazing alternative to clingfilm - but each time I went to order them I was put off by the big price tag! They're made of beeswax and cotton so I figured I’d have a go at doing it myself. So easy, a bitta fun DIY and great for the environment.
Why Should You Make Them?
At home and in the restaurant trade we go through tons and tons of clingfilm each year. This isn't generally recylable and will stay in our environment for hundreds of years. The obvious other answer is tin foil - but while much more easily recycled then plastic, its still a single use item that rarely gets recycled (if you’re using it give it a quick rinse and keep a “tinfoil-ball” going - this big ball of foil is easier for the folks in the recycling centre to spot and process). So in the spirit of moving away from plastics and single use we have the beeswax wrap. Ta dah!
Bye bye cling film and single use plastics in my kitchen!
Its non-toxic, can be used again and again and if maintained well you can just add a little more beeswax whenever it stills to be a bit “old”. Also it smells nice. Also its pretty. The ones you buy (and I’m sure they’re freakin awesome) are gorgeous, but just not a reasonable price point to me. I got cottons scraps in diff sizes (organic cotton would be ideal) and two bars of beeswax for €2.90 each. So the whole project was roughly €10 (they begin retail around €30 for a small pack and I made TONS).
I've made one really big wrap so that I can even keep big salad bowls fresh.
You’ll need - organic cotton fabric of your choice, sharp scissors, cheese grater, two beeswax bars, baking paper, a heat resistant spatula, two sets of tweezers (or tough hands).
I found these in my local healthfood shop, but they're also easy to get online.
Preheat the oven to 50 degrees C or whatever the lowest setting is on your oven.
Cut out shapes in your fabric that are useful to you - I aimed at a little bigger then my biggest bowl, to fit jars, to hold halves of fruit, to wrap sandwiches etc! Do what suits you! If you have one of those crafty scissors that makes and edge like this ^^^^^^^ use that, I dont so I just did squares and then trimmed the edges later.
I picked bright colours, one because their nice, but also if the wraps get a little stains with natural pigments from the food you won't see it as much.
Lay a sheet of baking paper on a tray and fit on as much of your fabric as you can.
Then sprinkle the shavings over your fabric on the baking tray. Check out the pics for the kind of coverage. One and a half of the little beeswax bards did lots of fabric for me.
Remember to push the shavings out to the edges as well ( I did of course take the bar off after the photo and before the oven!).
Pop the tray in the oven for about 8 minutes till the wax is completely melted.
When you take out the tray if the wax is still a little hard, pop it in for two more minutes. If its a little lumpy, but melted, use the spatula to smooth it out. The wraps dry fast so just hold them up in the air (use the tweezers so you dont burn your hands) and they dry fairly instantly. Once cooled I store mine folded up in a paper bag in the cupboard to keep dust off.
When you hold the wraps the heat of your hands melts them slightly so you can mould them around the container or item you’re holding, then once you put it into the fridge it will set.
To wash them wash with cold antibacterial soapy water and hang them up to dry. Dont use hot water as it will melt off the wax.
Dont use the wraps to store strong smelling items like oniongs, garlic or certain cheeses, I also avoid staining items like turmeric. I’ve notice that they still work really well with wet items like a half a tomato or melon.
If you’re vegan a potential alternative would be to investigate soya wax beads instead, I’ve seen them used in cosmetic situations where beeswax could be used so maybe it would work here too, but I havent tried it yet!
I currently only use beeswax wraps at home not while working, as it does not create a complete seal like clingfilm - for work I use containers that can be fully sealed (in glass, reusable plastic or stainless steel), but I do believe this is the perfect at home solution! | 2019-04-24T20:33:21 | https://www.saltwaterstories.me/blog/2018/6/11/no-more-clingfilm-how-to-make-your-own-beeswax-wraps |
What should we focus on when we only have limited time to meet with students? Which concepts must students master, and what must master to best prepare students for academic research and responsible citizenship? The Threshold Concepts, according to Kate Langan, are presented here with thoughts on how to incorporate these into our own instruction.
I wanted to let you know about my new Tumblr "Selfies in the Stacks" at http://selfiesinthestacks.tumblr.com . The idea of this Tumblr is to encourage students to experience the joys of seeing actual, physical books in the library. The selfies were part of a library project for Beth Hay's Methods of Inquiry class. Check it out and please submit your own selfie in the stacks!
Another Olympics games means a new installment of the National Science Foundation's "Science of Sports" series: Science and Engineering of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games! Each of the ten episodes presents Olympic athletes and the science and engineering concepts that underlie their performance. It's a great way to learn more about top NSF-supported research and the real-life applications.
It's been a busy month. Even bad weather and classes being canceled couldn't keep people from hanging out in the archive and getting their gaming fix. Here are the games that were most popular over the course of last month. | 2019-04-21T12:30:52 | https://www.lib.umich.edu/blogs/February2014 |

A whole-day meeting at the Geological Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London, is being convened for November this year under the auspices of the Society’s ‘History of Geology’ and ‘Engineering’ Groups, and promoted also by the Institution of Royal Engineers. It will follow the precedent of a meeting in November 2009 on ‘Military Aspects of Hydrogeology’, with 12 oral presentations. Like that meeting, it is hoped that it will generate about 20 manuscripts to be worthy of peer-reviewed publication, as one of the Society’s books.
The meeting is scheduled for 2016 to mark the centenary of first deployment of an engineering geologist by the British Army to support combat operations—Major (later Sir) Edgeworth David on the Western Front in 1916—with book publication in 2018 to help mark the centenary of the end of the First World War.
Further details may be obtained from the conveners, Edward P.F. Rose (e-mail [email protected]; home telephone: +44 (0)1425 279124) or Judy Ehlen (e-mail [email protected]), or the EGGS Committee representative Ursula Lawrence (e-mail [email protected]). | 2019-04-19T08:23:27 | https://historyofgeologygroup.co.uk/november-2016-military-aspects-of-engineering-geology-past-and-present/ |
This Napoleon and Josephine story has a happy ending. It began in 1952, just two blocks from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania campus, when Napoleon and Josephine Patti opened Nap’s, a shot-and-beer joint along the main drag of the small town.
For years, Nap’s was a regular stop for the guys who made their bones wrestling coal out of the ground. In 1992, as the mines were fading, Nap’s could have gone the same way. Instead, Mary Jo Karas, daughter of the couple, re-opened the spot as Nap’s Cucina Mia.
Suddenly more family restaurant than bar, Nap’s became known for hearty home-cooked meals, with many Patti family recipes still featured on the menu. To this day, fresh pasta with Nonna’s sauce is a favorite, along with ever-changing specials that allow Mary Jo’s son, Nick, now the chef at Nap’s, to flex his culinary muscles.
Nick graduated from IUP with a degree in geography. Ask him what a geographer does for a living and he will quickly tell you: “cook.” So, after graduation, he headed for Florence, and returned to Nap’s a year later with a master’s certificate in Italian cuisine.
Nick starts most days at nearby Yarnick’s Farm, where he mounts a four-wheeler and drives into the fields for inspiration. He calls it a “Zen-like” experience as he surveys the dew-touched crops and imagines possible specials in his mind’s eye.
Nick’s crabcakes, which are held together magically, are simply sautéed in olive oil and served with lightly dressed arugula. “Even people from Maryland love them,” Nick says.
Filet mignon and veal chops, rubbed with olive oil and perfectly seasoned, are prepared in a cast-iron grill pan at the open kitchen behind the bar. The chops are sometimes served atop a creamy romano cheese polenta and the steaks get the right pasta side.
For dessert, there is always tiramisu and La Prima Espresso coffee, supplied by Nick’s Uncle Sam, direct from Pittsburgh’s Strip District. Located within walking distance from the Indiana County Courthouse, the hospital and the IUP campus, Nap’s draws a solid mix of lawyers, doctors and professors. Students comprise the rest of the crowd, attracted to Nap’s by one special item that does not appear on the menu.
Alicia Myers, one of the twenty-somethings that often gather at the bar while Nick is doing his afternoon prep, describes Nap’s as “a place where you feel like part of the family no matter who you are.” And when you are far from home at college, there is nothing better. | 2019-04-21T12:36:39 | https://pittsburghquarterly.com/pq-food/pq-food-and-wine/item/544-nap-s.html |
The words “potluck party” probably conger up visions of your grandma or the old ladies from church having a party; however, in today’s busy times having a potluck can be a great way to get together with friends without anyone having to do too much of the work themselves.
Just as you are busy each day dealing with getting the kids to school, going to work, shopping, running errands, taking the kids to their own activities, so are most of your friends and family. But, if you want to get together and enjoy each other’s company for a day or evening, having a potluck party might be just the answer. A potluck allows the work of the party to be spread amongst many guests and a get together is much easier to plan this way.
However, to have a successful potluck, you need to do a bit of pre-planning upfront to ensure that not all of your guests all bring the same food, or the same type of food, to the party. While your guests might have no idea what they will bring, try giving each of them a category and ask that they choose something. Even going with random suggestions of drinks, main course, desert, or salad can help to ensure that you have enough variety in your foods so that everyone can enjoy their meal.
1. Ask all of your guests to prepare their dishes in advance and bring them in need of nothing more than a simple reheat in your microwave or oven.
2. Ask all of your guests to bring their dishes in containers which are easy to handle and will fit within the table space you have.
3. If you will be having a lot of people for your potluck, remind your guests that they do not have to feed everyone there, a normal family or 4 or 6 meal-sized portion of their food will be plenty. Most people will only take a small amount of the choices to be able to sample everything they want without being over-full.
4. Let your guests know that any simple dish is fine. Many people love to try other people’s family recipes and these work nicely for a potluck party.
As the potluck host, you will want to set up the table for all of the food. This should include both linen as well as potholders for your guests to set their hot dishes on. In addition you will want to have some extra serving platters, bowls, baskets, and serving utensils available as not everyone will come with their dish ready to be served.
One important thing which you do not want to forget is the beverages. You can either provide these as the host, you can ask everyone to bring their own, or you can have one person who will only be bringing the drinks.
In addition to the above, as the host of the potluck you get to choose what you will bring to the party. If you are hosting a large party, simply providing the location, plates, and silverware, should suffice. However, if you are having a smaller get together, then you will want to provide a dish as well. Many times the host will provide the main course, such as a turkey or roast, and ask the guests to bring along other foods such as salads and desserts. | 2019-04-26T08:17:03 | http://www.selfless-ambition.com/party-planning-tips-for-hosting-a-potluck-party/ |

Home Bibliography Researching learning design: breakthrough or dead end?
The latest edition of the Australian-based journal, ‘Distance Education’, Vol. 30, No. 2, is devoted entirely to research on learning design.
Book review: Lockyer, L. et al. (2008) Handbook of research on learning design and learning objects: issues, applications and technologies Hershey PA: Information Science Reference, 890 pp, reviewed by Michael Derntl, University of Vienna.
Unfortunately, Distance Education still requires a subscription, and the articles therefore are not available over the web.
If you have heard people discussing learning design, and wanted to know what it is about, this journal edition would be a good place to start.
More of an issue for me is the value of the current approaches to learning design. Although I support completely the idea that good teaching should be informed by principles of good design, the focus of learning design research on trying to provide computer correlates or ‘objective, reproducible descriptions’ of learning design seems to me to be a dead end, in exactly the same way that the research in the 1980s on artificial intelligence and learning design came to a dead end.
In many ways, the current research on learning design is an outcome of the failure of research on the computerization of learning objects to produce practical, applicable tools that can be used by teachers. Reading these articles I was struck by how restricted computers are in representing the complexity of human learning and teaching, and how ‘forced’ or restricted the solutions proposed appear to be. I am also once again enraged by the hi-jacking of everyday language (‘learning design’) by essentially computer scientists to mean something very specific and different from common usage.
The current approach to learning design may well prove me wrong, but I would like to see a more critical and thoughtful approach to the underlying philosophical assumptions behind this approach than what I found in these articles. In the meantime, let’s see more research on what constitutes good design in teaching and learning, and how different technologies can enable, facilitate or enhance good design, but let’s not get bogged down in one way of looking at this issue.
This is purely co-incidental, but this seems a good point to mention the next ETUG workshop, which happens to be on – learning design. | 2019-04-24T05:56:40 | https://www.tonybates.ca/2009/09/02/researching-learning-design-breakthrough-or-dead-end/ |

The Complete Guide to Carpal Tunnel in Hand Pain.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common cause of hand pain, sensations of numbness and weakness, and that “pins and needles” feeling in the hands. At the Colorado Center for Orthopaedic Excellence, we are experts in all aspects of hand and wrist care. That’s why we created this complete guide to carpal tunnel syndrome. | 2019-04-20T06:38:50 | http://www.ccoe.us/AboutUs/OurBlog/TabId/31982/Tag/hand-pain/Default.aspx |
Biological Control Activities of Rice-Associated Bacillus sp. Strains against Sheath Blight and Bacterial Panicle Blight of Rice.
The five selected RABs showing highest antimicrobial activities (RAB6, RAB9, RAB16, RAB17S, and RAB18) were closest to B. amyloliquefaciens in DNA sequence of 16S rDNA and gyrB, but to B. subtilis in that of recA.
Novel ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-induced null alleles of the Drosophila homolog of LRRK2 reveal a crucial role in endolysosomal functions and autophagy in vivo.
Interestingly, the lysosomal abnormalities in these lrrk mutants can be suppressed by a constitutively active form of the small GTPase rab9, which promotes retromer-dependent recycling from late endosomes to the Golgi.
A fat body-derived apical extracellular matrix enzyme is transported to the tracheal lumen and is required for tube morphogenesis in Drosophila.
This process was defective in rab9 and shrub/vps32 mutants and in wild-type embryos treated with a secretory pathway inhibitor, leading to an abundant accumulation of Serp in the fat body.
The Amyloid Precursor Protein is rapidly transported from the Golgi apparatus to the lysosome and where it is processed into beta-amyloid.
By photoactivating APP-paGFP in the Golgi, using the Golgi marker Galactosyltranferase fused to Cyan Fluorescent Protein (GalT-CFP) as a target, we are able to follow a population of nascent APP molecules from the Golgi to downstream compartments identified with compartment markers tagged with red fluorescent protein (mRFP or mCherry); including rab5 (early endosomes) rab9 (late endosomes) and LAMP1 (lysosomes).
The small GTPases Rab9A and Rab23 function at distinct steps in autophagy during Group A Streptococcus infection.
Rab9A and Rab23 GTPases play crucial roles in autophagy of Group A Streptococcus.
RUTBC2 protein, a Rab9A effector and GTPase-activating protein for Rab36.
These data show that RUTBC2 can act as a Rab36 GAP in cells and suggest that RUTBC2 links Rab9A function to Rab36 function in the endosomal system.
Protein kinase A inhibition modulates the intracellular routing of gene delivery vehicles in HeLa cells, leading to productive transfection.
Rather, we identify a novel compartment, tentatively characterized as a transferrin(-)/rab9(-)/LAMP1(-) compartment, to which cargo within the clathrin-mediated pathway of endocytosis is rerouted upon inhibition of PKA, and which may act as an alternative and effective site of cargo release in gene delivery.
RUTBC1 is a Tre2/Bub2/Cdc16 domain-containing protein that binds to Rab9A-GTP both in vitro and in cultured cells, but is not a GTPase-activating protein for Rab9A.
Involvement of Rab9 and Rab11 in the intracellular trafficking of TRPC6.
Results describe the involvement of two Rab GTPases, Rab9 and Rab11, in the trafficking of TRPC6.
Assembly of the biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex-3 (BLOC-3) and its interaction with Rab9.
Data show that recombinant HPS1-HPS4 produced in insect cells can be efficiently isolated as a 1:1 heterodimer, and might function as a Rab9 effector in the biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles.
Lipid metabolism in cystic fibrosis.
Accumulation of free cholesterol in distinct perinuclear compartments, reversible by overexpression of rab9, suggests that cystic fibrosis and the lysosomal storage disease Niemann-Pick-C could share similar cell signaling defects, in addition to increased cAMP signaling and sterol-regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) expression that affect cholesterol metabolism.
Limited role for SREBP-1c in defective glucose-induced insulin secretion from Zucker diabetic fatty rat islets: a functional and gene profiling analysis.
Rab3), stimulated (voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channel subunit alpha1D, CPT2, SUR2, rab9, syt13), or inhibited (syntaxin 7, secretogranin-2) by SREBP-1c inhibition.
Endocytic trafficking of glycosphingolipids in sphingolipid storage diseases.
Golgi targeting of GSLs internalized via caveolae is dependent on microtubules and phosphoinositide 3-kinase(s) and is inhibited by expression of dominant-negative rab7 and rab9 constructs.
Intracellular membrane trafficking pathways in bone-resorbing osteoclasts revealed by cloning and subcellular localization studies of small GTP-binding rab proteins.
Rab1B, rab4B, rab5C, rab7, rab9, rab11B, and rab35 were identified from rat osteoclasts in this study.
The predicted protein product of the gene consists of 201 amino acid residues, and the protein has 86% similarity to human RAB9 at the amino acid level.
The small GTP binding protein rab7 is essential for cellular vacuolation induced by Helicobacter pylori cytotoxin.
Dominant-negative mutants of rab7 effectively prevented vacuolization, whereas homologous rab5 and rab9 mutants were only partially inhibitory or ineffective, respectively.
METHODS: Cell line from rabbit dermal fibroblasts (RAB9) and primary cultures of rabbit corneal stroma fibroblasts (NRCF) were grown to confluence.
Biochemical analysis of rab9, a ras-like GTPase involved in protein transport from late endosomes to the trans Golgi network.
rab9 is a ras-like GTPase which has been implicated in the transport of mannose 6-phosphate receptors between late endosomes and the trans Golgi network.
Rab GDI: a solubilizing and recycling factor for rab9 protein.
We show here that the cytosolic form of rab9, a protein required for transport between late endosomes and the trans Golgi network, also occurs as a complex with a GDI-like protein, with an apparent mass of approximately 80 kD.
Rab9 functions in transport between late endosomes and the trans Golgi network.
We report here the primary sequence, subcellular localization and functional activity of a new member of the rab protein family, rab9. | 2019-04-23T06:31:28 | https://www.gopubmed.org/rab9.html |
'Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.' -- MATT. v.13.
These words must have seemed ridiculously presumptuous when they were first spoken, and they have too often seemed mere mockery and irony in the ages since. A Galilean peasant, with a few of his rude countrymen who had gathered round him, stands up there on the mountain, and says to them, 'You, a handful, are the people who are to keep the world from rotting, and to bring it to all its best light.' Strange when we think that Christ believed that these men were able to do these grand functions because they drew their power from Himself! Stranger still to think that, notwithstanding all the miserable inconsistencies of the professing Church ever since, yet, on the whole, the experience of history has verified these words! And although some wise men may curl their lips with a sneer as they say about us Christians, 'Ye are the salt of the earth!' yet the most progressive, and the most enlightened, and the most moral portion of humanity has derived its impulse to progress, its enlightenment as to the loftiest truths, and the purest portion of its morality, from the men who received their power to impart these from Jesus Christ.
And so, dear brethren, I have to say two or three things now, which I hope will be plain and earnest and searching, about the function of the Christian Church, and of each individual member of it, as set forth in these words; about the solemn possibility that the qualification for that function may go away from a man; about the grave question as to whether such a loss can ever be repaired; and about the certain end of the saltless salt.
I. First, then, as to the high task of Christ's disciples as here set forth.
'Ye are the salt of the earth'! The metaphor wants very little explanation, however much enforcement it may require. It involves two things: a grave judgment as to the actual state of society, and a lofty claim as to what Christ's followers are able to do to it.
Now, it is not merely because we are the bearers of a truth that will do all this that we are thus spoken of, but we Christian men are to do it by the influence of conduct and character.
There are two or three thoughts suggested by this metaphor. The chief one is that of our power, and therefore our obligation, to arrest the corruption round us, by our own purity. The presence of a good man hinders the devil from having elbow-room to do his work. Do you and I exercise a repressive influence (if we do not do anything better), so that evil and low-toned life is ashamed to show itself in our presence, and skulks back as do wrong-doers from the bull's-eye of a policeman's lantern? It is not a high function, but it is a very necessary one, and it is one that all Christian men and women ought to discharge -- that of rebuking and hindering the operation of corruption, even if they have not the power to breathe a better spirit into the dead mass.
But the example of Christian men is not only repressive. It ought to tempt forth all that is best and purest and highest in the people with whom they come in contact. Every man who does right helps to make public opinion in favour of doing right; and every man who lowers the standard of morality in his own life helps to lower it in the community of which he is a part. And so in a thousand ways that I have no need to dwell upon here, the men that have Christ in their hearts and something of Christ's conduct and character repeated in theirs are to be the preserving and purifying influence in the midst of this corrupt world.
There are two other points that I name, and do not enlarge upon. The first of them is -- salt does its work by being brought into close contact with the substance upon which it is to work. And so we, brought into contact as we are with much evil and wickedness, by many common relations of friendship, of kindred, of business, of proximity, of citizenship, and the like, -- we are not to seek to withdraw ourselves from contact with the evil. The only way by which the salt can purify is by being rubbed into the corrupted thing.
And once more, salt does its work silently, inconspicuously, gradually. 'Ye are the light of the world,' says Christ in the next verse. Light is far-reaching and brilliant, flashing that it may be seen. That is one side of Christian work, the side that most of us like best, the conspicuous kind of it. Ay! but there is a very much humbler, and, as I fancy, a very much more useful, kind of work that we have all to do. We shall never be the 'light of the world,' except on condition of being 'the salt of the earth.' You have to play the humble, inconspicuous, silent part of checking corruption by a pure example before you can aspire to play the other part of raying out light into the darkness, and so drawing men to Christ Himself.
Now, brethren, why do I repeat all these common, threadbare platitudes, as I know they are? Simply in order to plant upon them this one question to the heart and conscience of you Christian men and women: -- Is there anything in your life that makes this text, in its application to you, other else than the bitterest mockery?
II. The grave possibility of the salt losing its savour.
There is no need for asking the question whether such loss is a physical fact or not, whether in the natural realm it is possible for any forms of matter that have saline taste to lose it by any cause. That does not at all concern us. The point is that it is possible for us, who call ourselves -- and are -- Christians, to lose our penetrating pungency, which stays corruption; to lose all that distinguishes us from the men that we are to better.
Now I think that nobody can look upon the present condition of professing Christendom; or, in a narrower aspect, upon the present condition of English Christianity; or in a still narrower, nobody can look round upon this congregation; or in the narrowest view, none of us can look into our own hearts -- without feeling that this saying comes perilously near being true of us. And I beg you, dear Christian friends, while I try to dwell on this point, to ask yourselves this question -- Lord, is it I? and not to be thinking of other people whom you may suppose the cap will fit.
There is, then, manifest on every side -- first of all, the obliteration of the distinction between the salt and the mass into which it is inserted, or to put it into other words, Christian men and women swallow down bodily, and practise thoroughly, the maxims of the world, as to life, as to what is pleasant and what is desirable, and as to the application of morality to business. There is not a hair of difference in that respect between hundreds and thousands of professing Christian men, and the irreligious man that has his office up the same staircase. I know, of course, that there are in every communion saintly men and women who are labouring to keep themselves unspotted from the world, but I know too that in every communion there are those, whose religion has next to no influence on their general conduct, and does not even keep them from corruption, to say nothing of making them sources of purifying influence. You cannot lay the flattering unction to your souls that the reason why there is so little difference between the Church and the world to-day is because the world has grown so much better. I know that to a large extent the principles of Christian ethics have permeated the consciousness of a country like this, and have found their way even amongst people who make no profession at all of being Christians. Thank God for it; but that does not explain it all.
If you take a red-hot ball out of a furnace and lay it down upon a frosty moor, two processes will go on -- the ball will lose heat and the surrounding atmosphere will gain it. There are two ways by which you equalise the temperature of a hotter and a colder body: the one is by the hot one getting cold, and the other is by the cold one getting hot. If you are not heating the world, the world is freezing you. Every man influences all men round him, and receives influences from them, and if there be not more exports than imports, if there be not more influences and mightier influences raying out from him than are coming into him, he is a poor creature, and at the mercy of circumstances. 'Men must either be hammers or anvil'; -- must either give blows or receive them. I am afraid that a great many of us who call ourselves Christians get a great deal more harm from the world than we ever dream of doing good to it. Remember this, 'you are the salt of the earth,' and if you do not salt the world, the world will rot you.
Is there any difference between your ideal of happiness and the irreligious one? Is there any difference between your notion of what is pleasure, and the irreligious one? Is there any difference in your application of the rules of morality to daily life, any difference in your general way of looking at things from the way of the ungodly world? Yes, or No? Is the salt being infected by the carcass, or is it purifying the corruption? Answer the question, brother, as before God and your own conscience.
Then there is another thing. There can be no doubt but that all round and shared by us, there are instances of the cooling of the fervour of Christian devotion. That is the reason for the small distinction in character and conduct between the world and the Church to-day. An Arctic climate will not grow tropical fruits, and if the heat have been let down, as it has been let down, you cannot expect the glories of character and the pure unworldliness of conduct that you would have had at a higher temperature. Nor is there any doubt but that the present temperature is, with some of us, a distinct loss of heat. It was not always so low. The thermometer has gone down.
There are, no doubt, some among us who had once a far more vigorous Christian life than they have to-day; who were once far more aflame with the love of God than they are now. And although I know, of course, that as years go on emotion will become less vivid, and feeling may give place to principle, yet I know no reason why, as years go on, fervour should become less, or the warmth of our love to our Master should decline. There will be less spluttering and crackling when the fire burns up; there may be fewer flames; but there will be a hotter glow of ruddy, unflaming heat. That is what ought to be in our Christian experience.
Nor can there be any doubt, I think, but that the partial obliteration of the distinction between the Church and the world, and the decay of the fervour of devotion which leads to it, are both to be traced to a yet deeper cause, and that is the loss or diminution of actual fellowship with Jesus Christ. It was that which made these early disciples 'salt.' It was that which made them 'light.' It is that, and that alone, which makes devotion burn fervid, and which makes characters glow with the strange saintliness that rebukes iniquity, and works for the purifying of the world. And so I would remind you that fellowship with Jesus Christ is no vague exercise of the mind but is to be cultivated by three things, which I fear me are becoming less and less habitual amongst professing Christians: -- Meditation, the study of the Bible, private prayer. If you have not these -- and you know best whether you have them or not -- no power in heaven or earth can prevent you from losing the savour that makes you salt.
III. Now I come to the next point, and that is the solemn question: Is there a possibility of re-salting the saltless salt, of restoring the lost savour?
'Wherewithal shall it be salted?' says the Master. That is plain enough, but do not let us push it too far. If the Church is meant for the purifying of the world, and the Church itself needs purifying, is there any power in the world that will do it? If the army joins the rebels, is there any force that will bring back the army to submission? Our Lord is speaking about ordinary means and agencies. He is saying in effect, if the one thing that is intended to preserve the meat loses its power, is there anything lying about that will salt that? So far, then, the answer seems to be -- No.
But Christ has no intention that these words should be pushed to the extreme of asserting that if salt loses its savour, if a man loses the pungency of his Christian life, he cannot win it back, by going again to the source from which he received it at first. There is no such implication in these words. There is no obstacle in the way of a penitent returning to the fountain of all power and purity, nor of the full restoration of the lost savour, if a man will only bring about a full reunion of himself with the source of the savour.
Dear brethren, the message is to each of us; the same pleading words, which the Apocalyptic seer heard from Heaven, come to you and me: 'Remember, therefore, from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works.' And all the savour and the sweetness that flow from fellowship with Jesus Christ will come back to us in larger measure than ever, if we will come back to the Lord. Repentance and returning will bring back the saltness to the salt, and the brilliancy to the light.
IV. But one last word warns us what is the certain end of the saltless salt.
As the other Evangelist puts it: 'It is neither good for the land nor for the dunghill.' You cannot put it upon the soil; there is no fertilising virtue in it. You cannot even fling it into the rubbish-heap; it will do mischief there. Pitch it out into the road; it will stop a cranny somewhere between the stones when once it is well trodden down by men's heels. That is all it is fit for. God has no use for it, man has no use for it. If it has failed in doing the only thing it was created for, it has failed altogether. Like a knife that will not cut, or a lamp that will not burn, which may have a beautiful handle, or a beautiful stem, and may be highly artistic and decorated; but the question is, Does it cut, does it burn? If not, it is a failure altogether, and in this world there is no room for failures. The poorest living thing of the lowest type will jostle the dead thing out of the way. And so, for the salt that has lost its savour, there is only one thing to be done with it -- cast it out, and tread it under foot.
Yes; where are the Churches of Asia Minor, the patriarchates of Alexandria, of Antioch, of Constantinople; the whole of that early Syrian, Palestinian Christianity: where are they? Where is the Church of North Africa, the Church of Augustine? 'Trodden under foot of men!' Over the archway of a mosque in Damascus you can read the half-obliterated inscription -- 'Thy Kingdom, O Christ, is an everlasting Kingdom,' and above it -- 'There is no God but God, and Mohammed is His prophet!' The salt has lost his savour, and been cast out.
And does any one believe that the Churches of Christendom are eternal in their present shape? I see everywhere the signs of disintegration in the existing embodiments and organisations that set forth Christian life. And I am sure of this, that in the days that are coming to us, the storm in which we are already caught, all dead branches will be whirled out of the tree. So much the better for the tree! And a great deal that calls itself organised Christianity will have to go down because there is not vitality enough in it to stand. For you know it is low vitality that catches all the diseases that are going; and it is out of the sick sheep's eyeholes that the ravens peck the eyes. And it will be the feeble types of spiritual life, the inconsistent Christianities of our churches, that will yield the crop of apostates and heretics and renegades, and that will fall before temptation.
Brethren, remember this: Unless you go back close to your Lord, you will go further away from Him. The deadness will deepen, the coldness will become icier and icier; you will lose more and more of the life, and show less and less of the likeness, and purity, of Jesus Christ until you come to this -- I pray God that none of us come to it -- 'Thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.' Dead!
My brother, let us return unto the Lord our God, and keep nearer Him than we ever have done, and bring our hearts more under the influence of His grace, and cultivate the habit of communion with Him; and pray and trust, and leave ourselves in His hands, that His power may come into us, and that we in the beauty of our characters, and the purity of our lives, and the elevation of our spirits, may witness to all men that we have been with Christ; and may, in some measure, check the corruption that is in the world through lust. | 2019-04-24T06:54:06 | http://www.sermonindex.net/modules/bible_books/?view=book_chapter&chapter=59525 |
There are things that you can do at home to ease the pain and itch of piles. One thing you can easily do is to take warm baths. Sit in several inches of warm water. Dry very gently. A hair dryer set on cool may work best. Use ice packs to relieve the swelling temporarily.
Don't scratch. Scratching can harm the skin and make the itching worse. Choose cotton underwear. This helps keep the area dry. Don't try to force bowel movements. Try to get on a schedule. Be gentle when wiping. Moisten toilet paper or use wet wipes. Don't hold it in. Go to the bathroom as soon as you feel the urge. Try a squat position. Use a bench or a pile of phone books to raise your feet. This may make it easier to pass a bowel movement.
Another thing you can do right now is to add fiber to your diet and drink plenty of fluids. Exercise regularly. Even a short walk can help blood circulation.

Galatians 4:16 – Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
Christians share in the blessed opportunity to share the Good News of Christ to the world. So many wonderful stories exist of lives which changed to the better because of the influence of the Gospel. Where hope did not exist, fullness of future expectation abides. Where confusion of purpose pervaded all that could be seen, clarity of life’s objectives came into view. Such is the power and direction of the mind of God when shared with hearts that will open. Sadly, not all hearts are open.
Not everyone wants to hear the truth.
Some people of the world walk about clapping their ears and humming to themselves. They want to hear nothing, but their own world view. They do not understand God; other than superficially, they do not want to try. The truth is many of those who claim Christianity are the same (2 Timothy 4:3). Their mind stays closed to Biblical instruction. They would rather hear themselves wax esoteric than truly study and learn (2 Timothy 2:15). Therein, if they cannot express their thoughts, their opinions, and their conclusions, their behavior and thoughts turn into stewing, fretting, and composing their responses full of vitriol and degradation. Those suggesting they possibly consider a different thought become the enemy. Kind reaching out by others to truly engage dialogue, answer questions, or provide clarification is met with what appears to be preparation for battle rather than a focus on discovering unity. Along the side they gossip, slander, grumble, and hate (John 15:18). This behavior can be seen on most study forums, found on social media, and heard in the corners of places of worship.
Peter established there will be Christians who suffer by living and sharing the truth (I Peter 4:16). At times, it will come from the lost of the world. Sometimes this comes from countrymen (See Jeremiah and the prophets). Sometimes the conflict comes from reaching out to family in concern for their souls. At other times, the attacking will come from those that claim the same savior as you do – your spiritual brothers and sisters. You can choose to war with them or you can choose to respond with proper Christian behavior (Colossians 4:6; I Peter 3:1-2). If you choose to keep your distance, maintain your love for them (Matthew 5:44). Often with time, maturity, and plenty of heartache which commonly follows their behaviors, people realize their destructive behavior which they foolishly wielded and can change. We see this with young people who grow up and we see this with arrogant hearts which finally decide to listen. Remember, you are not the enemy unless you choose to be. Be strong and continue to share the truth (2 Timothy 4:2, Ephesians 4:14-15).

An analysis and further development of the building blocks of modern credit risk management: -Definitions of default -Estimation of default probabilities -Exposures -Recovery Rates -Pricing -Concepts of portfolio dependence -Time horizons for risk calculations -Quantification of portfolio risk -Estimation of risk measures -Portfolio analysis and portfolio improvement -Evaluation and comparison of credit risk models -Analytic portfolio loss distributions The thesis contributes to the evaluation and development of credit risk management methods. First, it offers an in-depth analysis of the well-known credit risk models Credit Metrics (JP Morgan), Credit Risk+ (Credit Suisse First Boston), Credit Portfolio View (McKinsey & Company) and the Vasicek-Kealhofer-model (KMV Corporation). Second, we develop the Credit Risk Evaluation model as an alternative risk model that overcomes a variety of deficiencies of the existing approaches. Third, we provide a series of new results about homogenous portfolios in Credit Metrics, the KMV model and the CRE model that allow to better understand and compare the models and to see the impact of modeling assumptions on the reported portfolio risk. Fourth, the thesis covers all methodological steps that are necessary to quantify, to analyze and to improve the credit risk and the risk adjusted return of a bank portfolio. Conceptually, the work follows the risk management process that comprises three major aspects: the modeling process of the credit risk from the individual client to the portfolio (the qualitative aspect), the quantification of portfolio risk and risk contributions to portfolio risk as well as the analysis of portfolio risk structures (the quantitative aspect), and, finally, methods to improve portfolio risk and its risk adjusted profitability (the management aspect).
Eine Analyse und Weiterentwicklung der Komponenten des modernen Kreditrisikomanagements: -Ausfalldefinitionen -Schätzung von Ausfallwahrscheinlichkeiten -Exposures -Recovery Rates -Preisfindung -Darstellungsmöglichkeiten der Abhängigkeiten in Portfolien -Zeithorizonte für Risikoberechnungen -Messung des Portfoliorisikos -Schätzung von Risikomaßen -Portfolioanalyse und Verbesserung der Portfolioqualität -Evaluation und Vergleich von Kreditrisikomodellen -Analytische Portfolioverlustverteilungen Die Arbeit leistet einen Beitrag zur Evaluation und Weiterentwicklung der Methoden des Kreditrisikomanagements. 1.Sie liefert eine eingehende Analyse der bekannten Kreditrisikomodelle Credit Metrics (JP Morgan), Credit Risk+ (Credit Suisse First Boston), Credit Portfolio View (McKinsey & Company) und des Vasicek-Kealhofer Modells (KMV Corporation). 2.Sie entwickelt das Credit Risk Evaluation Model (CRE Modell) als ein alternatives Risikomodell, das eine Vielzahl von Schwächen und Problemen der existierenden Ansätze löst. 3.Sie stellt eine Reihe neuer Ergebnisse über homogene Portfolien in Credit Metrics, dem KMV Modell und dem CRE Modell zur Verfügung, die es erlauben, die Modelle besser zu verstehen und zu vergleichen und die Auswirkungen der Modellannahmen auf das ausgewiesene Portfoliorisiko zu zeigen. 4.Die Arbeit deckt alle methodischen Schritte ab, die erforderlich sind, um das Kreditrisiko eines Bankportfolios zu messen, in seiner Struktur zu analysieren und zu managen und den risikobereinigten Ertrag des Portfolios zu verbessern. Konzeptionell folgt die Arbeit dem Risikomanagementprozess, der drei wesentliche Aspekte umfasst: die Modellierung des Kreditrisikos ausgehend vom einzelnen Kunden bis hin zum gesamten Bankportfolio (qualitativer Aspekt), die Messung des Portfoliorisikos und der Beiträge zum Portfoliorisiko ebenso wie die Analyse der Risikostruktur des Portfolios (quantitativer Aspekt), und schließlich Methoden zur Verbesserung der Portfoliostruktur und der risikobereinigten Rentabilität des Portfolios. | 2019-04-22T06:33:55 | https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserver/3104/ |

I am sure you are one of those people out there who wants to make money online who type the same question on the Google Search box. I know, I know, you don’t want long explanations. All you want to know is if this is a scam or not.
Theoretically, the system that Neobux offers is a standard PTC (Paid to Click) scheme. Meaning, you will get paid for the ads that you click BUT on a very minimum rate ($0.001 only). Well, I believe it’s legal. It’s like clicking a Google Ads on a website. Through these clicks, the websites get their “wanted” traffic in return and will increase the number of their visits even if you do not read their ads. The advertisers really don’t care if you read their ads or not. All they want is web traffic.
Anyway, back to Neobux, you can click several ads in there. Unfortunately, if you are going to click it on whole day, you will only get maybe a maximum of $2 a day. If you will just compute for your internet bill and electric bill that you will use while clicking their ads, you will see that you are just fooling yourself and may fall on a conclusion that you are wasting time, money and effort.
That is why, Neobux offers additional “way” for its members to earn and that is thru “referrals”. Referrals simply mean that if you have members below you (you refer your friend for example), you will benefit and earn from the clicks that they will make in Neobux site as well. It’s like MLM or Multi-Level-Marketing. The one that really suffers are the people under you.
This scheme is ok if you continue to click the ads inside the site. But if your target is to get members below you than clicking the ads, then you are starting to make it a real-like networking SCAM.
I am not saying that Neobux is a total scam. But it will be if all the members are just looking for referrals instead of clicking the ads.
It’s like company that offers a product and gives BONUS for its employees for every referrals that they will make. The problem arises when employees of the company no longer sell the product itself, but otherwise just look for referrals to become a member below them.
Making Money Online is not INSTANT. It’s gradual. Do not believe stories like that they got rich in an instant. It’s just too good to be true. Always remember that there is NO easy money. Everything requires hard work.
Anyway, I myself registered in Neobux. If you want to become my down-line, be my guest and join Neobux with me by clicking here or the image below.
Oh I forgot to mention, you can only make referrals after 100 clicks of Ads in Neobux site. Meaning you can only start making referrals when you make $ 0.10 from your clicks. Also, do not invest your money in Neobux for account upgrade if you are not serious with it. Upgrade by the way offers increase the amount per click. Be sure you just get money from Neobux and they will not get any money from you. | 2019-04-26T03:58:32 | http://www.gayward-concepts.com/category/internet-scams-and-hoax/ |
By The Chicago Egotist / April 25, 2017 / Freed from the bonds of having to use celebrity spokesman Blake Shelton on behalf of Gildan, O’Keefe Reinhard & Paul brings the brand directly to the young millennial men’s market in an integrated campaign that showcases its men’s underwear line as way more hip than the old man’s tighty-whiteys. “Don’t Wear Your Dad’s Underwear.” is Gildan’s call to today’s younger mindset men. The rallying cry is played out in a series of television, digital, radio and print ads that unabashedly show older dads hanging out in their skivvies contrasted with their sons who appear in Gildan premium boxer briefs that represent a decidedly updated choice – not only in style, but in substance.
“Our male consumer has the millennial mindset and we know that this audience is looking for quality products at a better value. We also know they are looking for new brands that they can make their own, not their parent’s brands,” explained Rob Packard, Vice President of Marketing at Gildan Brand. “This campaign takes on legacy brands while raising awareness of Gildan’s promise of delivering the next generation of underwear.” The creative idea is played out in short .15 second spots and longer .30 second spots that quickly and effectively tell the Gildan brand story. Gildan is also using creative media buys such as branded digital ads on Tinder that suggest users ‘swipe right’ for underwear from a photo of dad to one of the son. Other millennial type media content plays are being developed by Rolling Stone and The Onion. OKRP and Gildan partnered with Chicago media agency Kelly Scott Madison on the media plan and buys.
“Not your Dad’s Underwear” is a bold statement that gets to the point fast. Perfect for today’s attention challenged audience,” explained Matt Reinhard, Chief Creative Officer at OKRP. “And when you are the challenger brand in the category, you can push off the competition and raise your awareness as the new alternative.” The new Gildan positioning as ‘The Next Generation of Underwear’ was developed following research that revealed that while men admire their fathers and want to be like them, when it comes to underwear, they want to chart new territory. The work was designed to show a competitive advantage versus the two leading brands in the category in style as well as in value. “Given our target market and competitive approach, we were able to work with key partners to create custom programs and integrations that engage our core audience at meaningful moments, with content that speaks to them” said Bryan Kirkland, V.P., Associate Media Director at KSM. The integrated campaign launches in mid-March on digital channels around March Madness and will be seen on such sites as Rolling Stone, The Onion, Ozy and Tinder. Television advertising will launch in April on relevant networks. A social media campaign will support the effort as well. | 2019-04-24T12:49:50 | https://www.thechicagoegotist.com/news/2017/04/25/dont-wear-your-dads-underwear-urges-new-gildan-campaign-from-okrp/ |

Los Delfines is the local 'resort name' for this area that includes the locations of Cala en Forcat, Cala en Brut and Cala en Blanes. Staying at Cala en Brut is a good option for people looking for the facilities of a livelier tourist resort but being located away from the noise. There is a wide variety of Bars and Restaurants in nearby Los Delfines and for active children there is an Aquapark, where parents can also "relax".
Of these three Cala en Brut is quieter and is a good compromise for those looking for the tourist offerings but not wanting to be in ear shot of any noise, particularly if you have smaller children needing quiet. There are lots of childrens play facilities and the restaurants tend to cater children too. Cala en Brut ( aka Bruc ) has a well thought out setting of sunbathing and diving platforms around the picturesque inlet and is also excellent for snorkeling. At its entrance the inlet is almost like a large saltwater swimming pool. The platforms have been constructed at various heights and make a good alternative if you don't like getting all sandy on a beach! There is a local bus service into the nearby old capital of Ciutadella and a "resort" train picks up and drops off a various points in the resort. Los Delfines itself is compact and can be easily explored on foot.
Los Delfines offers a wide range of activities and all things to brighten the eyes of children and to keep them amused. If you have a hire car visit Castillo an outdoor /indoor play centre for children (Karting for adults) and outlet centre - see below. On the road to Sant Cala Galdana there are two horse shows.
Son Angel is farm that provides all types of riding experiences. Its also on the way to the fabulous virgin beach of Algairiens, so you can combine the two for a wonderful days' experience.
There is a beautiful valley area of Algairiens east of the resort on the coast, with very picturesque valley and forest walks to the coast and beach Cala Algairiens. Also known as La Vall. Also take a trip out to Cala Morells ( by Bus ).
The bus does a round trip so look at full timetable for a particular bus stop's departure time.
Change at Placa del Pins ( walk to Placa Menorca 5mn ) for buses to Cala Gladana ( 52 ) and Mahon ( 01,14 ) .
The bus does a round trip so look at full timetable for return times from Son Saura. Journey time 30 min 3 Eur Mon - Sat only.
A small quiet fishing village resort and residential ares on the north west coast set in dramatic rocky coastlines. Best known for the extensive man made (Bronze and Iron ages) cave dwellings nearby that give a real sense of cave "living" ( though many caves were also for burial ). Some are sophisticated with central roof columns and 'windows'. Some are obviously younger and larger, cut with more advanced metal tools, but the smaller older ones gives a view into another world. A good place to combine with a visit to the beautiful virgin beach of Algaiarens and walks through the very attractive valleys of Vall de Algaiarens. Bus 62 circa 15 mins 1.85 Euro single ( 2012 ) or by Hire Car.
Is at the end of a long rocky inlet with sunbathing platforms alongs its length. The inlet ends with a small fully serviced beach backed with a planted area of palm tress which provide pleasant shade and picknicking areas.
Cala En Brut has a mediterranean climate characterised by hot dry summers. Menorca has pleasant cooling Summer breeze. The sea temperatures at Cala En Brut will be around 22-26 degrees in Summer. In October the water is still warm. Spring time ( early March to April ) will have sunny days with temperatures around 20 and above , ideal for sightseeing, walking, cycling and horseriding activities. | 2019-04-25T20:01:17 | https://www.mymenorca.info/cala-en-brut/ |
