There is a tall can of Budweiser in my fridge but I just can’t bring myself to drink it. Not since the news that Budweiser InBev is buying Miller Beer. That is like all the Jedi knights moving onto the Death Star. It’s like Reagan and Gorbachev tearing down the Berlin Wall and then using the bricks to build a spacious condo for both of them to live in. It’s like Indiana Jones living with snakes. It’s like the Taliban buying Bryn Mawr College. It’s like Coke and Pepsi being denied a marriage license by Kim Davis. It’s like Sherlock Holmes going into business with Professor Moriarty.
Come to think of it, how did that random can of Budweiser get in my fridge, anyway?
Truth be told I don’t particularly care for either Miller or Bud. They both taste like musty club soda to me, but that isn’t the point. I’ve consumed large amounts of both beers on occasions that called for it. Fourth of July cookouts, Metallica concerts, football games–both intramural and professional. In short, it is the proper potation for purely American pursuits. What has me concerned is the collapse of giant polarizing entities in a culture that thrives on them. As a nation we love to love what we love and we love to hate what we hate.
Really, how did that can of Budweiser get in my fridge?
The idea of dynamic tension is an old one. Charles Atlas popularized the practice in the early 1900’s. Pit one muscle group against another and watch them both grow into massive weapons you can use against Coney Island bullies that kick sand in your face and steal your girlfriend. What’s good for personal fitness is good for product marketing. Over the course of the twentieth century small-scale competitors grew into merchandising titans that demanded brand loyalty.
It’s fun to watch the two biggest teams go at it. The spectators choose sides. They feel like they belong. There is an opponent that channels their vague rage. This is the essence of conflict. Of triumph. Of the dialectic that drives innovation and strategy. Bud and Miller have been cast by the vast marketing machine as the dueling drinks of American champions, war heroes, and dusty cowpokes riding off into the sunset. It’s one or the other. You’re either in or you’re out. We’ve been blasting at each other with our flintlocks for a hundred years. Now they want us to throw down our weapons and shake hands.
It was getting ridiculous. I still couldn’t figure out about that one random can of Budweiser in my refrigerator. Even stranger was that it was tucked in a beer koozy commemorating the “Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival” out of Niceville, Florida. How did that get there? Was I in Niceville, Florida, recently? Where is Niceville? Is it even nice?
I was late for a meeting so I hopped in a cab with my cold beer and my newspaper and hightailed it over to Buckhead. As I continued reading about the Bud-Miller merger it became clear that the two iconic beers may not be the staunch American bulwarks they claimed to be. The merger had more to do with an Argentinian investment firm, the Santo Domingo family of Columbia, and a fellow named Jan DePlessis hammering out negotiations in London. There was no mention of the United States of America. Bosh! I yelled, sipping my random can of beer. Super cold and delicious in all its stale mustiness.
As usual the traffic was terrible so I got out of the cab and walked. Overtaken with thirst, I stopped at one of these trendy Buckhead bars for a hit of good old fashioned American bourbon. I surrendered my can of Bud and traded it for a fresh bottle of a beer called “Eschaton” made by the Wild Heaven distillery in Atlanta. I inserted it into my Boggy Bayou beer koozy.
“That whiskey you are drinking has been bought by the Japanese,” he said.
“At 12% alcohol-by-volume it may very well be,” I said.
“Wouldn’t have thunk it,” I said.
“Ever heard the song ‘dead skunk in the middle of the road?’” I asked. | 2019-04-25T18:45:30 | https://thealembicblog.com/2015/10/28/us-versus-them/ |
Gervais earned the biggest pay day of his career when he stormed away with victory on his Flemington debut on Sunday.
Ridden perfectly by jet-setting hoop Damian Lance, Gervais settled behind the leader before pushing clear upon straightening and proving too strong in the run to the post in the 1600m Benchmark 70 event.
Trainer Danny O'Brien was thrilled with the Rip Van Winkle four-year-old's performance as the horse had taken a long time to mature.
"We couldn't push him too early as he took a long time maturing but that he has matured and getting him out over this sort of trip suits him," O'Brien said.
"I think he can get out to 2000m which would be a bonus as well." | 2019-04-20T12:12:13 | http://dannyobrienracing.com.au/default.aspx?pageaction=news&articleid=1213 |
I am very pleased in having over 20 players in a continuing assessment program in the National Training sessions, with a large number of these players having also been assessed during the recent November trip and/or Christmas Camp.
For the players born in 2005 selected or not selected for the “Reduced Squad” you must continue to attend National Training sessions if you wish to be considered for Project 2020 – Under 17.
Players selected in the “Reduced Squad” have to make all the remaining training dates on the Preparation Plan up to the date I announce the Final Squad. The 10 players announced in the Final Squad will have to make every training activity, as shown in the Preparation Plan.
I have worked hard this weekend in Barcelona to secure a competition that will be held in Spain and involve several European Country representations. Please note that this competition will not be taking place at the same time as the U17 European Competition. | 2019-04-25T01:49:46 | http://jca-sports.co.uk/under-15-reduced-squad-2019/ |

Newmachar chalked up a resounding nine-hole win over Royal Aberdeen in this evening's final of the Maitland Shield double foursomes tournament at Deeside Golf Club.
Recent Phillips Trophy winner Chris Lamb and John Ross finished six up on Mark Halliday and Donald Macandrew in the lead-off singles tie. Lamb and Ross never looked back after going one up at the third. By the turn they had increased their lead to three holes and they doubled that on the inward half.
Calvin Cheyne and Jamie Wilson finished three up on Nick Macandrew and Craig Leith after being two up at the turn.
Newmachar thus regained the trophy they last won in 2015 and before that in 2006.
Royal Aberdeen's lean spell in this tournament, of which this was the 102nd staging, dates back to 2003-2004 when the Balgownie team won the Maitland Shield two years in a row.
Next year's Maitland Shield tournament will be hosted by Auchmill Golf Club.
The tournament is sponsored by Molly's Bistro and Malone's Irish Bar at the Douglas Hotel, Market Street in Aberdeen.
+The Maitland Shield takes its name from Adam Maitland who was Lord Provost of Aberdeen round about the time of World War I (1914-18).
C Lamb and J Ross 6, M Halliday and D Macandrew 0.
C Cheyne and J Wilson 3, N Macandrew and C Leith 0. | 2019-04-24T22:05:41 | https://www.scottishgolfview.com/2018/05/newmachar-overpower-royal-aberdeen-in.html |

Heisenberg II's robust infrastructure efficiently facilitates contract management, compensation plan development and revision, physician payment adjudication, market rate identification and collection of productivity and quality - related performance data.
"We look forward to expanding the current platforms features, continuing to assist transformational change in the physician compensation and management space," says Butcher.

The biggest reason why the BUFFET has been so quiet recently.
I'm excited to offer a pre-publication Print-Of-Choice edition of my upcoming book HABOOB. One could say it is the evil step-sister of HIGLEY from 2007. This will be my third book with Kehrer.
Since the housing-crash of 2008, I have continued photographing in the East Valley of Phoenix in the area around Higley, AZ, once the boom-town of the "American Dream" banking on unlimited growth and urban sprawl.
Called by their Arabic name, the East Valley is famous for destructive haboob sanstorms. As Higley's vision of the new american dream recedes, the haboob is a fitting metaphor, representing the fear and instability that have become so prevalent in the US urban middle class and its identity is once again being reformed, reshaped.
Here are just a few images to tease, I will be in Arizona for the next month finalizing the project and the final book should offer enough for everyone to find a favorite! | 2019-04-21T10:26:51 | http://buffet.andrew-phelps.com/2012/07/my-new-book-and-print-edition.html |

If you had ever been a resident of New York, London, or a different major, active city, you must be aware that among the most important things in any urban part is space. All of a sudden, items those are typical in a suburb, like being owner of a sofa, or doing washing of clothes in your residence, turn into status symbols and luxuries. Thus it appears extreme that town dwellers forfeit as a great deal of room as they do for automobiles. To have an automobile in a metropolis occupy much more of this hard to get, costly room than you have possibly realized. The image on this website reveals s that idea. This shows the appearance of 200 people, firstly in 177 cars, secondly without cars, thirdly on 3 buses, and at last on bikes. | 2019-04-21T01:14:15 | https://www.apexpics.com/2016/01/27/the-appearance-of-city-centers-had-cars-not-been-there/ |

Between 21 percent and 23 percent of American adults, equaling about 44 million people nationwide, cannot demonstrate basic skills in reading, writing and math.
In Louisiana, this percentage is even higher — 28 percent of all Louisiana adults do not have these basic skills. Three Adult Education Centers in St. Charles Parish offer assistance to residents that are seeking to further their education, with locations in Boutte, Killona and Norco.
“Our primary goal at the center is to give back a voice to people that have lost their voice,” said Shirley Cook, Coordinator of Adult Education for St. Charles Parish Schools. “Not having basic educational skills isn’t something that you want to shout from the roof tops, it is very personal and it takes a lot of courage to walk through the door and ask someone for help.” The staff of the Adult Education Centers in St. Charles Parish take pride in the services they offer to help adults achieve their education goals and to “become a star”. “Everyone is a star in their own way,” said Cook.
The Adult Education Centers in St. Charles Parish offer a variety of services to the adult student that is wishing to expand their education, such as Adult Basic Education (ABE) Refresher Courses, GED Preparation, Even Start Family Literacy, Community Partnerships and the newly added ACTWorkKeys.
The Adult Basic Education Refresher course provides basic education for adults with an emphasis on the skills of reading, writing and arithmetic. Refresher courses are available for those who already have a diploma but feel the need to upgrade academic skills in preparation for a job or re-entry to a vocational school or college. Adults who have been out of school for a long period of time may take advantage of these refresher courses.
Adults who did not finish high school for various reasons can take advantage of the GED Preparation Course. The GED diploma is a high school equivalency diploma. “More than 95 percent of employers in the U.S consider GED graduates the same as traditional high school graduates in regard to hiring, salary, and opportunity for advancement,” according to the American Council on Education.
The GED instruction is designed to meet the individual needs and educational levels of each person enrolled in the program. All classes are offered free of charge. Once a student passes the GED Test, the State Department of Education will issue the student a high school equivalency diploma. These diplomas are widely accepted by universities for the student that wishes to further their education by attending college.
“I am very excited,” said a young mother who just passed her GED at the Boutte Adult Learning Center. She also takes advantage of the Even Start Program with her young daughter. “This unique program allows the parent to work on their goals while keeping their children involved in the process,” said Cook.
The Even Start Family Literacy Program provides a literacy program that includes adult education, early childhood education and parenting skills to families who have children between the ages of birth to seven.
This program includes free lunches and free child care for children 0-3 years of age.
Another service provided by the centers is ACTWorkKeys. This program offers instruction on how to use computers, the internet, and other skills they need to get a job in today’s world. | 2019-04-26T06:10:56 | https://www.heraldguide.com/?p=88967 |

St. Louis Children’s Hospital is staffed exclusively by Washington University faculty physicians and provides a full range of services and access to world-class care. Recognized as one of the country’s top children’s hospitals by U.S. News & World Report, it is the region’s only children’s hospital ranked in all 10 pediatric specialties.
As a result, our Emergency Department has a very large catchment area. To facilitate safe and timely patient-care and transfer all transfer-calls and consults from community physicians and hospitals are triaged by specially trained nurses at Children’s Direct. They accept lower-acuity patients to the ER, coordinate our transport team, facilitate communication between specialty and community physicians, and expedite physician-to-physician communication for the higher-acuity emergencies.
Patients who are treated for serious burns, wounds, abscesses, etc. are referred to our Pediatric Acute Wound Service (PAWS). With PAWS, children who do not necessarily need to be hospitalized can have their wound issues addressed as needed as an outpatient.The PAWS team works to evaluate each child’s needs, including areas such as nutrition, child life services, psychological services, occupational/physical therapy, and pain management, to coordinate a specialized treatment plan. | 2019-04-24T12:23:51 | http://pediatrics.wustl.edu/emergency/Clinical/Comprehensive-Care |
Not just a lowercase fat sandwich, as in, “fully stuffed”; nor just a fatty sandwich loaded with cheese and what have you. No, the Fat Sandwiches, which originated at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, are creations unto themselves.
Served from the five Grease Trucks that once lined up together on College Avenue, the Fat Sandwiches are supersized hoagies that stuff all manner of fried foods—mozzarella sticks, french fries, chicken fingers—right into the sandwich itself. Though the exact origins are lost to history, it’s said that the Fat Cat, invented in 1979, was the first Fat Sandwich: a cheeseburger with french fries right on top. From there, the tradition evolved, many named after students who invented them, including the Fat Darrell: chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, french fries and marinara sauce.
The bread. Soft hoagie bread, just substantial enough to cradle the obscene foodstuffs piled on top.
The filling. Some Fat Sandwiches start out relatively traditional: say, the Fat Knight at RU Hungry, a cheesesteak that’s piled with chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, fries and marinara sauce. Others pay tribute to New Jersey, like the Fat Romano, with pork roll and egg…and a cheesesteak…and fries.
RU Hungry; New Brunswick. For decades, the five original Grease Trucks all served Rutgers students from the same location. Last year, university development forced them to scatter, but RU Hungry, the most popular, is back in business. Go for the classic Fat Darrell; or branch out with the Fat Elvis, essentially a gyro with mozzarella sticks, fries, white sauce and hot sauce.
Hoagie Haven; Princeton. This no-frills sandwich shop has as dedicated a Princeton following as the Grease Trucks did with the Rutgers crowd. Already a campus institution, the Haven was inspired by the Grease Trucks a few miles away and introduced Fat Sandwiches to its own menu. There’s the Phat Lady, a cheesesteak with mozzarella sticks and fries; the popular Sanchez, with chicken cutlets, mozzarella sticks, fries and a dousing of Sanchez sauce, and progressively less believable sandwiches from there. | 2019-04-20T13:33:18 | https://www.foodandwine.com/fwx/food/real-fat-sandwiches-new-jersey |
Here’s another card in this series using Simple Stamping with Rooted in Nature. These projects might just being growing on me. Get it? Nature and all, ha ha! Well, you may have noticed that I have gone just one little step further and used the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper, stepping outside the rules just a tiny little bit. Do you think the #simplestamping police will come after me? I sure hope not.
This Rooted in Nature stamp set is so incredibly versatile, I am certain it will be a necessity for your stamping inventory. See a project I made with this same stamp set for Christmas here, so fun to get creative! There are even some coordinating Nature’s Roots framelit dies for even further convenience in your crafting.
The Thick Whisper White cardstock has become a favorite because it has some substance as a card base. Layering a piece of the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper added color and visual interest. I used Tuxedo Black Memento ink, Shaded Spruce stamp pad and the Crumb Cake stamp pad and voila! It was done. Really? Already…hmm, that was fast.
If you haven’t tired this simple stamping method, give it a try and feel free to post one of your cards in the comments. I would love to see your design. Until next time, be sure to make all your projects A Crowning Creation! | 2019-04-19T06:03:08 | https://acrowningcreation.com/2019/01/simple-stamping-with-rooted-in-nature/ |

Let’s start today with some economic data. ADP reports private-sector hiring picked up in June, as employers added 237,000 jobs. The monthly jobs report from the Labor Department will be released tomorrow; it includes private sector plus government jobs. The consensus guestimate is for about 225,000 new jobs last month.
Construction spending rose 0.8% in May to a seasonally adjusted $1.04 trillion. Spending rose 0.3% for residential projects, and 1.5% for nonresidential projects. The Commerce Department revised April’s result to 2.1%.
Manufacturers grew in June at the fastest rate since the start of 2015. The Institute for Supply Management said its manufacturing index rose to 53.5% last month from 52.8% in May, matching its highest level of this year. Readings over 50% indicate more companies are expanding instead of shrinking. The employment gauge jumped 3.8 points to 55.5%. The ISM’s new-orders index edged up to 56.0% from 55.8%.
The second and final Markit reading of U.S. manufacturing conditions in June was revised up to 53.6 from a preliminary 53.4, but the index was still at its lowest level since October 2013.
Overnight, Greece defaulted on its $1.8 billion debt payment to the IMF. That failure means the Greek bailout package has expired. But markets rallied this morning on reports that Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, in a letter to the country’s creditors, said he was willing to accept the terms presented in a proposal made at the weekend as the basis for more talks. For now, the July 5 referendum is still scheduled, even though the terms to be voted on have been taken off the negotiating table. And then Tsipras addressed the Greek nation saying they should vote no on the referendum, so it doesn’t sound like Tsipras made any real concessions.
European stocks and bonds rose today. The Stoxx Europe 600 index rallied 2.2 percent. Yields on debt from Italy, Spain and Portugal all fell and the euro weakened 0.8 percent to below $1.106.
Now, we hear a lot of speculation about how the Greeks will vote on the referendum on Sunday. The simple answer is that we don’t know. A poll released today shows 47% to 43% in favor of a “Yes” vote; but keep in mind the polling was done by a German polling company. The referendum was thrown together so fast that there hasn’t been anything that could be considered reliable polling to tell us how the vote will play out. If anyone speculates, it is just that – speculation. Beyond that, we don’t know the consequences. I have heard reports that if Greece votes no, they will be kicked out of the Eurozone. Not so fast.
From a legal standpoint Greece would still be a member of the European Union; even if they start printing drachmas. Greece might want to take control of its own monetary policy and not be bound to contracts denominated in euros. Even if a country violates the treaty, there’s no mechanism for kicking it out. That would create a host of legal and administrative headaches for both Athens and Brussels. Trouble is, there’s no clear legal path for a country to exit the Eurozone without leaving the EU first. EU treaties describe the Eurozone as “irrevocable.” A country can leave the EU, however. Under Article 50 of the EU treaty, a country can withdraw its EU membership. Since euro membership is only open to EU countries, Greece would automatically fall out of the currency area if it left the political union. But here too, there’s a catch: Article 50 stipulates that countries engage in a two-year negotiation with Brussels before they can leave, time Greece doesn’t have.
So, when you hear pundits saying they can tell you how the Greek situation will play out, or how the Greeks will vote on the referendum, or that there will be a Greek exit, realize that nobody knows how this will be resolved.
One lesson we have learned: as economies crumble, so does the viability of the digital infrastructure that so much of the world has come to take for granted as the way money moves. The harder an economy is hit, the more valuable cash becomes. Basically the economy returns to cash trading as merchants refuse to accept payment with plastic as they have to take the receipts to be cleared at a bank. The less faith you have in the bank’s ability to clear those receipts, the more likely you are to lean on cash. That’s how a modern day bank run works. And in Greece the banks are closed so plastic is worthless, and the ATMs are empty. A reminder that you can’t stuff “ones” and “zeroes” under your mattress; and when times get tough, cash is still king.
Meanwhile Puerto Rico’s junk-rated power utility said it made a full $415 million bond payment due today and reached an agreement to continue negotiations with creditors to restructure its $9 billion of debt. Its bonds rallied.
The Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, called Prepa, made the principal and interest payment by selling $128 million of short-term debt to the companies that insure its bonds, including Assured Guaranty. It also tapped reserves and used $153 million from its general fund. The utility extended a forbearance pact with creditors until Sept. 15, which will keep discussions out of court. It must negotiate a plan to overhaul its debts by Sept. 1 to keep the deal in place. The talks with creditors may advance the utility’s effort to pare its debt load. There is still a major problem of $72 billion of debt owed by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
And next on the list is Ukraine; they could suspend debt payments almost immediately if an important meeting with creditors ends in stalemate. Ukraine is asking its foreign bondholders to accept a 40 percent write down or “haircut” on the $23 billion of debt they own, but so far they have not agreed.
Meanwhile, gas negotiations between Russia and Ukraine have fallen apart, after the two failed to agree on a pricing plan at talks in Vienna. The European Commission, which mediates the negotiations between Gazprom and Naftogaz, issued a statement Tuesday evening saying the two sides were “still far apart” on a deal. Ukraine has now stopped receiving gas from Russia, but transit supplies to Europe are continuing at the usual rate.
China’s vast manufacturing sector remained lackluster in June, fueling calls for additional stimulus measures to boost the world’s number two economy. The Shanghai Composite, which entered a bear market on Monday, ended the day down 5.2%.
The U.S. and Cuba have reached an agreement to restore diplomatic relations and reopen embassies in each other’s capitals, the biggest step yet toward ending a half century of enmity between the two countries. The historic deal will be proclaimed in a White House statement today, and follows the two countries’ landmark announcement to normalize relations last December. A U.S. economic embargo against Cuba will still remain in place, and only Congress can lift it.
General Motors sales fell 3 percent in June. Nissan reported June’s biggest gain so far with a 13 percent increase. Fiat Chrysler said U.S. sales rose 8.2 percent in June. Ford Motor missed estimates with a 1.5 percent light-vehicle sales gain; sales of Ford’s F-Series pickups fell 8.9 percent last month. Vehicle prices also climbed in June, with the average transaction price up 1 percent from a year earlier to $31,948.
Swiss insurance giant ACE Ltd. will buy property insurer Chubb Corp for $28.3 billion. The deal will create the world’s biggest property and casualty insurer by underwriting income. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2016.
General Electric expects to accelerate the pace of GE Capital asset sales in the third quarter as the U.S. conglomerate retreats from the banking industry. Since the landmark announcement on April 10, GE Capital has announced asset sales totaling $23 billion in ending net investment, and anticipates $100 billion in sales in 2015.
The US government sued to block Electrolux AB from taking over General Electric’s appliance business, warning that the $3.3 billion deal would leave millions of Americans vulnerable to price increases for ranges, cooktops and wall ovens, products that serve an important role in family life and represent large purchases for many households.
By a 2-1 vote, a federal appeals court has upheld a 2013 decision finding Apple liable for conspiring with publishers to fix e-book prices. Apple is now set to pay $450 million to e-book consumers and lawyers through a settlement originally announced last year.
AT&T’s proposed $48.5 billion acquisition of DirecTV is expected to get U.S. regulatory approval as soon as next week. The Department of Justice has completed its review of the merger and is waiting on the FCC to wrap up its own. The move could create the country’s largest pay-TV company, giving DirecTV a broadband product and AT&T new avenues of growth beyond wireless service. | 2019-04-20T21:00:18 | http://sinclairnoe.com/the-greek-unknown/ |
Keanu Reeves Has Been Quietly Donating Millions To Children's Hospitals For Years: "I Don't Like To Attach My Name To It"
Despite seeing a lot of tragedies in his life, Keanu does not hold back when it comes to associating with causes and donating to them.
In his latest blockbuster venture, John Wick, actor Keanu Reeves plays a blood hungry assassin. The action star goes about on a killing spree in the first two installments of the movie, and the third one that is set to come out this year is going to be nothing less. In real life though, Keanu would give his blood and sweat for those in need. This despite the fact that he has endured so much pain in his life. This is probably the reason he feels the need to give more than hoard all his wealth. Coming from a broken family, Keanu saw a lot as a child. His father was a drug addict and was caught selling heroin. Shortly thereafter, he abandoned his wife and Keanu. His mother married numerous times and as a result, he had to move a lot from one city to another.
Although Keanu achieved great success as an actor with his later action hits such as Matrix and Speed, his personal life was struck with tragedy. In 1994, just when Reeves was all set to start a family with fellow actor Jennifer Syme, it resulted in the birth of a child who was stillborn. This led to a strain on their relationship and they later broke up. A more unfortunate incident took place when Syme died in a car accident. Despite the odds, Keanu has been more than forthcoming with his gift as an actor and his wealth.
Keanu is associated with at least around 13 charity organizations most of these are related to children's health and well-being according to Look To The Stars page. He is involved in all these charitable activities through a private foundation of his own. However, the modest and extremely down-to-earth guy that he is, Keanu does all of this maintaining a very low profile and without much fanfare. In a PTI article, it was reported that he was first inspired to get involved with the charities when his sister Kim was first diagnosed with leukemia in the 1990s.
He has donated thousands of pounds to cancer research and towards hospitals for children for many years. He said, "I don't like to attach my name to it, I just let the foundation do what it does." Now, isn't that a man with a real heart of gold, something very rare especially in superstars these days. Keanu is associated with an organization called CoachArt Celebrity that supports improving the quality of life for underprivileged children and adolescents who have chronic and life-threatening illnesses by providing free, personal lessons in the arts and athletics.
Entertainment Industry Foundation Celebrity is another organization that Keanu associates with. Their main aim is to raise awareness and funds for causes such as childhood hunger, cancer, and cardiovascular research, creative arts, education, and research to name a few. Other organizations include LIFEbeat Celebrity who work to reach America’s youth with the message of HIV/AIDS prevention and to support the AIDS community.
SickKids Foundation, a charity that inspires communities to invest in health and scientific advances to improve the lives of children and their families in Canada and around the world is another one of there 13 organizations to whom Keanu gives his time and money to. The foundation invests around $4 million annually in pediatric research and other issues of children’s health. Racing for Kids is an association that Keanu supports. It uses the popularity of motorsports to bring public attention and funding on the healthcare needs of children.
There can only be one reason for the star getting into so many charities. While the money that comes with his acting and his fame is definitely a plus point, it is not Keanu's primarily goal. In an interview with the New York Post, he said, "For me, I guess I don’t connect the enjoyment and the money. I work on a part and hopefully realize apart, and make good films. Some of the successes I’ve had I’m grateful for because it creates other opportunities. [The way] I look at it is I get to act again."
In another interview with Hollywood.com Keanu spoke about the meaningless of money in his life. He says, "Money doesn’t mean anything to me. I’ve made a lot of money but I want to enjoy life and not stress myself building my bank account. I give lots away and live simply, mostly out of a suitcase in hotels. We all know that good health is much more important." Over the years the Keanu's simplicity has made him an internet hero of sorts. He has been spotted taking a bus, taking an airplane like any other common person, posed for pictures with a couple just about to get married to name a few instances. | 2019-04-26T04:27:39 | https://endoriot.com/keanu-has-a-heart-of-gold-and-these-charities-he-is-associated-with-is-proof |

Right, this blog is for a new page I’m setting up on the site which will be concerned with the use of Fischer Family Trust data in schools.
This is an area that I’ve been trying to get to grips with over the last year, amid tales from teachers and others which point to concerns about the workings of this data system, which makes estimates of pupils’ future exam performance based on their previous test scores and other information.
Many of the underlying issues with the use of FFT data in schools seem to have links with wider concerns about the implications of England’s test-driven education system. These include the dangers of using information for purposes for which it was never designed, the problems with over-interpreting data and the inherent conflict between using information on pupils’ exam performance to help that child improve, and also to hold their teacher to account.
I wrote a piece for the TES on this shortly before I left the paper, which would be a good starting point, I guess, for those interested in this subject. It’s available here.
Since then, I’ve had contact from a teacher and, separately, a parent, who both have made the interesting observation that FFT data can actually act to demotivate children.
The teacher said that she teaches in a school where many children are from poorer backgrounds and arrive with low predictions under the Fischer Family Trust’s “D” indicator – often F or G grades at GCSE.
I would welcome any comments on this, particularly as it seems to me that Fischer Family Trust data is increasingly influential in terms of how teachers and even pupils are judged.
I will also shortly be introducing another new category, called Data watch: Ofsted, which will look at the use of statistics in inspections.
Previous Post: NHS Dr complains of the effects of targets on his job.
In my school FFT estimates are treated as having the status of divine revelation, rather worrying in a Catholic institution! When mixed with an obsession with ‘tracking’ based on very dubious data, which no one seems to think critically about, we get an inhuman data driven monstrosity that has nothing to do with education or the welfare of the pupils.
I hope Michael Gove has read your book, and starts changing the system to something that is humane and focussed on high quality education for all.
I have just spent a few hours writing a sef after being shown a huge excel file.
I was origninally quite satisfied with my GCSE results this year. They are bang on the national average for Geography this year. My concern is that according to FFt (D)90% of them should have got and A*-C and not the 69% reality! I have just marked my Y7 tests and found that only 34% can name and label the countries which make up the UK. For many of them I would not give them level 4. Many say they dont even do Geography in Primary school. So here I am relating my KS4 results back to FFT data based on KS2 scores which have no geographical basis what so ever! IF anyone can offer me any tips, I’d really appreciate it!
As a parent perhaps seen by data provided by the Fischer Family Trust to be from a less priviledged socio economic background, did a little internet research on Mike Fischer and found a little gem by Douglas Hague of the Said Business School, University of Oxford, entitled Mike Fischer, Serial Entrepreneur. We learn that his Father worked for the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, he spent time in Rhodesia before studying physics at Oxford. In 1997 he bought a cattle farm in South Africa with his cousin and turned it into a game park. His latest venture is also non-profit making, working with a team in Oxford, in the area of cancer research looking at the immune system and DNA repair. God help us if this proves to be as successful at the FFT.
Just become aware of your blog and glad to see folk thinking through this morass. You may be interested in my recent Grove Booklet in their education series, namely REASSESSING THE CULTURE OF ASSESSMENT: WEIGHING PIGS DOES NOT MAKE THEM HEAVIER, Grove Books, Cambridge, ISBN 978-1-85174-790-0. I suspect there is some not inconsiderable resonance with your ongoing concerns.
Thanks, Adrian. Hadn’t come across that, so I will take a look.
I have a son in Year 9 who is obviously starting his GCSE years next year. He had a very difficult last 18 months on Primary School as we moved area and he was bullied by both staff and students at his new school. Being the character he is he said he wouldn’t let them beat him and completed primary school regardless. Unfortunately, though it had a big impact on his Key Stage 2 SATs scores. He was very happy when he moved on to secondary school and in the 3 years he has been there he has been in top sets and loved it, he has really risen to the challenge and restored his belief in himself. Well, now we learn he is being put down into lower sets mostly on the FFT predictions for his GCSE grades. Despite talking to the school there is not hope that they will reconsider, they seem to think the FFT predictions come from some Oracle. So my son is now set back 3 years demoralised, depressed and demotivated because of this bald statistical analysis. It makes me so angry I just want to scream but no one will listen – there is no forum to contest these figures. The old saying ‘there are lies, damn lies and statistics’ seems all too relevant here. | 2019-04-19T03:18:52 | http://educationbynumbers.org.uk/data-watch-fischer-family-trust |
The Civil Defence, Fire, Immigration and Prisons Services Board, has suspended three senior Prisons officers, over the controversial release of former Adamawa governor, Bala Ngilari, recently jailed for corruption.
The affected officers are Peter Tenkwa, the controller of Prisons for Adamawa State and Abubakar Abaka, the Deputy Comptroller and John Bukar, a Superintendent of Prisons.
A statement by the spokesperson of Prisons, Francis Enobore, on Tuesday said the suspended officers were indicted for their roles in the issuance of an unauthorised medical report that helped Mr. Ngilari leave jail.
The governor was sentenced to a five-year jail term.
The letter dated 3rd April, 2017 and signed by the Director/Secretary of the Board, Sunday Ogu, approved the suspension of the officers pending the outcome of all necessary investigations into the matter.
Justice Nathan Musa of Yola High Court had last week granted bail to Mr. Ngilari on health grounds.
Shortly after the decision of the court was reported, Mr. Tenkwa had alleged that the letter used by the convicted former governor to secure the bail was fraudulent.
Mr. Tenkwa said he was not aware of the letter and had communicated to the prison headquarters.
Meanwhile, the statement on Tuesday said a new Controller and officer in-charge had already been posted to take over the state command and Yola prison respectively.
A medical doctor was also deployed to oversee the prison clinic, the statement said.
“The officers have since resumed duties,” the statement said.
The prison authorities were silent on the fate of Mr. Ngilari who is believed to have left Nigeria after the controversial release. Neither the prison nor the police have indicated any intention to either re-arrest the ex-governor or appeal his controversial bail. | 2019-04-24T05:00:00 | https://sizzlinggists.com/three-senior-prison-officers-suspended-release-convicted-ex-gov-ngilari/ |

With many different kinds of trawler yachts being built today, it's important to really understand the kind of long distance cruising that you plan to do. Cruising on your yacht for days, weeks, or even months on board can present a variety of challenges, but is one of the most rewarding and memorable experiences in boating. Owning a trawler with the ability to run long distances brings out your inner explorer, quenching your desire to discover places you've never seen while also feeding it. Whether you plan on cruising the Pacific Northwest, island hopping in the Caribbean, or taking on the Great Loop, before you make a selection on a trawler, it's best to discuss your plans with an experienced, knowledgeable broker that can walk you through the differences in some of the brands, styles, and capabilities.
Trawlers are known to be incredibly seaworthy vessels due to the deep-v hull shape, superior material and construction used on the boat, and the long range they can deliver. Trawler owners are typically not in a hurry with the average boat cruising around 10-15 knots with top speeds in the low to mid 20-knot range. At this speed and with a trawler's design, the fuel burn and efficiency is among the best of all boat types in the industry. Trawler brands like NORDHAVN, Fleming, Kadey-Krogen, Marlow, and Grand Banks are just some of the popular yacht manufacturers that are producing yachts today.
There are thousands of boats and yachts on the United website thanks to our MLS services, many of which are used trawler yachts. Because there are so many variables in choosing the right trawler for your cruising needs, we recommend that you speak with a United Yacht Sales trawler specialist about the current market conditions and what brand of yacht might be best suited for your expectations. With over 50 offices worldwide and over 150 yacht brokers, there is a wealth of knowledge at United to help guide you in your selection. | 2019-04-26T14:40:38 | https://www.unitedyacht.com/used-trawler-boats-for-sale/39 |

What happened to logic and reason in the presidential campaign of candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 US Presidential Election? We are told that we are living in a “post fact” world now. Democrats ruminate over ways they could have engaged in less character defense and a better portrayal of the “facts.” Facts like that Obama’s policies put 22.309 million people to work from the depths of the recession in January 2010 to the end of his term. Or that in 2010 he instituted and sustained $858 billion in business tax cuts for economic stimulus programs. The public seemed not to much care about what constituted a “fact” or what sources were even credible.
“A Letter from China” in the January 21, 2017 edition of the Washington Post highlights a Chinese grad student’s efforts to decode US politics. The 30 year old PhD student, Yin Hao, noted that it had been tough to make sense of America lately. Hao predicted that Trump would with the presidency because he had distance and didn’t have a personal stake in the election. For instance, on the appeal of Sarah Palin, she “didn’t give good points or arguments, but she gave you a feeling.” What feeling?
This false choice between either logic or emotion seems to be prominently at play in many societies at present. The challenge is on to facilitate decision-making that is both emotionally satisfying and based upon solid reason, because in the end, emotion often wins. | 2019-04-24T21:20:48 | http://www.peninsulamediation.com/on-being-green/ |
The astronomer Edwin Hubble, born November 20, 1889, is best known for having proven the existence of other galaxies besides our own, which made astronomers realize that the universe is significantly larger than they had previously thought. Hubble reached this discovery using some of the largest telescopes of his time. In light of all this, what could be more fitting than that the best telescope the world has ever seen be named after him? The Hubble Telescope is used for exploring the far-away galaxies that its namesake discovered.
The invention of the telescope is generally credited to Galileo, but telescopes were actually first invented by Hans Lippershey. Lippershey’s telescope was a refractor telescope with two lenses, a convex objective lens and an eyepiece, concave in shape. This is the type of telescope Galileo used one year later in 1609.
Newton designed the reflector telescope in 1668, which used a mirror to reflect and concentrate light onto another mirror, sending the now focused image to an eyepiece on the side of the telescope housing. A later design placed a mirror in the middle of the telescope, reflecting the image back towards the main mirror. This mirror had a hole in the center, allowing for an eyepiece at the end of the telescope.
Significant improvements were still made, but were generally on the order of increasing ease of use. The mirrors used in reflector telescopes were improved by using reflective coatings that didn’t tarnish. The more accurate grinding of lenses and mirrors also helped significantly.
Resolution has always presented a problem. Longer telescope lengths can be used to remedy this problem, but can make the telescopes rather unwieldy and unstable. Better frameworks fixed the stability problems; and the use of reflector telescopes aided the situation as they can be manufactured shorter than refractor telescopes. But a point is reached where further increase in telescope resolution is pointless; the atmosphere limits resolution as it is practically a dirty lens in its own right. Now if only one could raise the telescope above the earth’s atmosphere….
With the advent of space travel, this dream was realized. The idea for a telescope, called the Hubble Telescope, was formed. This telescope was to be placed above the earth’s atmosphere, increasing resolution and range by being above all pollution and clouds of the atmosphere. It would send the information gleaned to earth via radio waves. The telescope itself was to be of the Ritchey-Chrétien design — a reflector telescope with two concave mirrors reflecting light back through the center of the telescope main mirror. This design was proposed in 1905 and differed from other designs in as much as there were two magnifying convex mirrors instead of one convex and another regular flat mirror to direct the light where desired. This helped make the images of stars, for example, rounder and remedied coma problems — the image is blurred and comet shaped — as well as spherical aberration. The telescope cost more and took longer to build than anticipated, and after being launched in 1990 the images showed the spherical aberration that the design was supposed to eliminate!
A Ritchey-Chrétien telescope requires special instruments called null detectors to test the curvature of the mirror. The manufacturer of the main Hubble mirror had used a custom-made null detector for the purpose. Unfortunately, they had assembled it wrong — a lens was off by 1.3 mm. This of course meant error. The manufacturer also tested the mirror with conventional null detectors as well as their custom-made one. These did show a flaw, but the company chose to ignore the results concluding that their custom null detector was more accurate. Either way, the Hubble telescope was none too useful, and it needed fixed. The only practical solution was to install a “COSTAR” — a bank of corrective optics. This solution was installed in space, and worked quite well, although it was eventually replaced with sensors designed to compensate for the error in the main mirror.
The Hubble telescope proved to revolutionize the world of astronomy, making gazing into the other galaxies Edwin Hubble discovered easier and more fascinating.

All the colours of the rainbow and plenty of four leaf clovers fill this slot with fun for all. Unfortunately the price for playing is too high with an RTP of 93.05%.
Welcome to a world of luck.
Not only does Lucky Sevens sport lucky sevens by the score, it also focuses in on the four leaf clover almost to the exclusion of all other forms of luck. Around all this clover it manages to squeeze a few ladybirds and horseshoes just for variety.
There is a background of clover to go with the theme and, one assumes because clover is associated with the Irish, also a rainbow with a pot of gold.
It is not a consistent theme, but its fun enough if you don’t think too hard about it.
Part of the reason this slapdash, clover obsessed, theme works is that it is rendered rather well in the graphics department. It has a colourful and well drawn set of symbols, a set of simple, but sparkly animations, and lots of varied movement to draw the eye along the animations.
The music on the other hand seems to have been added in as an afterthought, only playing while the reels spins and seeming to be cut off somewhat arbitrarily mid note when they stop. Luckily you can turn this off.
The main gameplay is a simpe five reel slot. It has, unusually, eighteen winlines and no way to adjust the number of lines you play.
The pacing can be odd, but there are plenty of options in the software to speed up or slow down the reels and animations, and a fast spin option for the really impatient.
There are three special symbols to keep an eye out for. The Wild symbol substitutes for any symbol except the two bonus symbols. It also adds a multiplier of time two to any combo involving a "7" symbol in the main game.
The Colour Bonus symbol triggers the Colour Bonus game when you hit three of them anywhere in the rightmost three reels. By clicking on the bonus symbol you receive a randomised number of free spins and are assigned one "special colour".
During the free spins every clover in the special colour than lands wins you one times your initial bet.
If you hit three Lucky Rainbow symbols on the first three reels you enter the Lucky Rainbow bonus game. In this bonus you receive seven free spins and the symbols on the reels are replaced by new symbols in the colours of the rainbow plus silver.
During the Lucky Rainbow bonus any combo using a Wild symbol gains a multiplier of three times any winning combo of the silver, orange and yellow symbols.
This slot has an insanely low return to player of 93.05%, which is an instant disqulification. Anything under 96% is poor, 93% is practically robbery.
By combining coin values and "steps", which are little more than a multiplier for both bet and payouts, the bet per spin can range from €/£/$0.18 at the minimum up to a highest bet per spin of €/£/$180.00.
There is no availiable volatility information on this slot.
Lucky Sevens has a lot going for it: fun bonus games, a vibrant and exciting visual style, and enough four leaved clovers to feed the luckiest cow ever.
However, it is let down massively by the very low return to player and the strange betting system.
We do not recommend Lucky 7. | 2019-04-21T20:01:28 | https://casino.guru/Lucky-7-slot-play-free |

A while ago, when I was reading the new Nemesis news on ST.com, I read where John Logan (the writer for Nem.) was going to pen a script for Spielberg to shoot about the life of Abraham Lincoln. I haven't heard anymore developments on this, but I wondered if anyone else had heard this too?
Which, in your opinion, is the most lacklustre entry out of the three most recent franchise prestige damaging movies? I would say AUJ by a considerable margin. Not only is it a shoe-in for the most visually repellent big budget movie of all time, but it also went out of its way to out-bloat the entire LotR EEs and King Kong put together. Never has there been such redundancy in moving pictures and such disrespect for the art of editing. And on top of all that you have a regurgitated and tedious score which makes James Horner look like Morrissey. Edit: I've changed my mind to Battle of the Five Armies after seeing it today.
Hiya gang, With The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey now having premiered and people beginning to discuss it on twitter, etc, this is the thread where people can discuss the film and what is and isn't in it without ruining things for those who wish to remain spoiler-free. The existing thread was getting full of people speculating about specific scenes based on movie tie-in books and OST music, etc, with many people leaving the thread to not be spoiled. This is now the thread that that kind of discussion should take place in, while the old thread can be used for posts about buying tickets, and anything officially released like commercials, trailers, interviews, etc. Thanks for playing along!
Well, with the movie premiering tonight at midnight, its time to start this thread. This is a thread for people who have seen the movie to discuss it with one another. Our Inception Spoilers Allowed Discussion Thread was pretty successful and I'm sure this one will be more so. All discussion about the actual movie once seen should take place here, and not in the spoiler-free Anticipation thread. So if you don't want to be spoiled before you see the movie, but want to continue to discuss commercials, trailers, online reviews, etc, you should stay in that thread until you've seen it. In this thread, the movie can be discussed freely - no need to put spoiler tags in your posts if you don't want to. LAST CHANCE TO EXIT THE THREAD BEFORE POTENTIALLY SEEING A SPOILER!!! . | 2019-04-24T10:32:28 | http://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?/tags/2012%20Films/ |
As a young girl, Hildegard sees visions, visions that she believes come from God. Of course, in the 11th century, visions can be a tricky proposition. Do they come from the Lord or the devil? Perhaps Hildegard’s mother believes her visions will make her unmarriageable, perhaps as the youngest of many children she will have no dowry, or perhaps she simply wants to curry favor with the noble house of Sponheim. Regardless of the reason, Hildegard’s mother makes the decision to give her daughter, her youngest child to the church. Hildegard will be a handmaiden to Jutta van Sponheim. This all seems bad enough to Hildegard, but then she learned that she and Jutta were not to be normal nuns, but would be enclosed – literally walled inside a series of small rooms in a monastery. After many years in her literal and figurative prison, Hildegard wins her release from her prison – although not her vows – upon Jutta’s death, becoming renowned as a Christian mystic.
Hildegard’s story is bizarre, terrifying, and inspiring by turns, to the point where it seems that it simply must be fiction. At the same time, though, it is clear that Sharratt has done her historical research here, because both Hildegard and the world in which she lived are vividly rendered and fully fleshed-out. Hildegard herself is an absolutely fascinating human being, accomplishing much more than one might think possible for the youngest child of minor Germanic nobility in the 11th century – and a woman, no less! Her visions and eventual relative power could have made her a difficult character to empathize with, but Sharratt humanizes her very effectively, partially by describing her almost maternal feelings towards the young women who are given to the church against their own will to serve alongside her.
Although I really enjoyed Sharratt’s Daughters of the Witching Hill, I absolutely loved Illuminations. Sharratt writes about a women who was formerly unknown to me, and does so in a way that makes me feel that I truly know her. Highly recommended.
Yikes! The walled up in a monastery part sounds terrifying!
I adored this book as well — so much so I’m buying myself a copy as I only have an (expiring!) e-ARC. So well done — this will be a reread, I’m sure!
This is literally on my nightstand and up next for pleasure reading. Can’t wait.
Hildegard is a fascinating historical figure. Can’t wait to read this!
I’m kicking myself for passing this one up I must read it soon!! | 2019-04-22T18:04:33 | http://www.devourerofbooks.com/2012/11/illuminations-by-mary-sharratt-book-review/ |
At the core of my being, I am a Creator. My time at University, acquiring a BFA, taught me first and foremost that I would never be able to limit my expression to one medium. On any given day, I might be digitally designing logos and graphics, drawing with pen and ink, wrapping crystals into custom jewelry or hand creating a high frequency line of temple products. The thread that weaves my creations together is the intention and desire to manafest a unique expression of divinity in a way that reminds the receiver of their own divine nature. The moment another has a unique thought or idea, we all have access to the new inspiration as a tool in our own self-expression. My creations are a reminder that we are all divine creator beings and our entire purpose is to be a unique expression of the divine that has never been or will ever be again. | 2019-04-23T08:37:06 | https://wildheartisthawaii.com/mishi-clauberg/ |

The days are getting colder, and it seems only fitting we have some chili! The Kramer household, unfortunately, has the long-lived debate of “do beans belong in chili” still divides this house. I, Eleni believe 100% that beans belong in chili well Jacob firmly believes beans DONT belong in chili.
The half of me that’s Mexican cannot comprehend chili without beans. What would that be? A slurry of well-spiced sadness?
I won’t bother giving Jacob’s Texas Chili Recipe on my post. I’m sure he will enlighten everyone with his blog entry on Chili SO instead I will provide you with my recipe for chili using a pressure cooker.
Saute the Veggies: Select the “Sauté” program on your pressure cooker and add the oil to the pot. Sauté until the onions are softened and translucent, about five minutes.
Stir in the spices and tomato paste. Add the chili powder, Cayenne powder, oregano, Beef Granulated Bouillonand, and tomato paste to the pot. Stir until the tomato paste is evenly mixed into the other ingredients and no clumps remain.
Time to cook the chili: Place the lid on the pressure cooker. Make sure the pressure regulator is set to the “Sealing” position. The Instant Pot has a cool button for cooking chili, select the “Chili” program, then adjust the time to 20 minutes. If your pressure cooker does not have a “Chili” program, set it manually to “High Pressure” for 20 minutes.
I don’t think Jacob, and I will ever see eye to eye on the chili debate, so we decided to attend this year Yaga Chili festival in Galveston. We visited two years ago and can’t wait to return.That said, share your favorite chili recipe and tell us, do beans belong in chili? | 2019-04-24T07:56:38 | https://cacklehowl.com/2017/10/29/do-beans-belong-in-chili/ |
Sir,–I noticed in your issues of the fifth and twelfth ult., that Messrs. MacLennan and Bannatyne are again trying to discredit the latest publication of the Piobaireachd Society. These two gentlemen have used the medium of your columns for years past to run down the successes publications of the society, and the question naturally arises in the mind of a stranger like myself, who has been a long time from home out of touch with things–Do these two excellent gentlemen consider themselves infallible, and arrogate to themselves all wisdom and knowledge with regard to piobaireachd?
Dr. Bannatyne’s objection that the tied grace notes are not written properly is all “piffle.” Every piobaireachd player knows how to play a certain movement in piobaireachd irrespective of grace notes–as, for instance in “Ceòl Mòr,” where the grace note is merely a sign; and his other objection, that certain tunes in the new issue are not the same as played by MacDonald of Morar, or not according to an MS. copy in the possession of John Mackay, and that consequently they must be wrong, is too childish for words.
In a subject like piobaireachd there is bound to be a divergence of opinion. The tunes have been handed down orally for generations, and each piper would alter the tune a little to suit his own taste, and there being no fixed standard of notation to refer to to keep them right, we have the different versions of today. We can, therefore, take it for granted that none of the tunes are as they were originally composed, but according to Messrs. MacLennan and Bannatyne there can be no divergence of opinion from what they respectively consider correct.
Now, sir, I hold no brief for the Piobaireachd Society, nor do I know any of the gentlemen composing it, but I do think that they are deserving of the thanks of all who take an interest in and love our old tunes, and are worthy of every support in their endeavours to foster a love of piobaireachd, and to get our pipers out of the rut of the half-dozen tunes which formed the repertoire for years. | 2019-04-24T20:24:40 | http://pmjohngrant.com/2011/06/ot-30-april-1910-a-mackay/ |
The largest-ever study has been conducted into the existence of a "gay gene" and its results leaves researchers believing the view that sexuality is a choice is discredited.
Conducted by the NorthShore Research Institute in the US, the study found clear links between two specific areas of the human genome and male homosexuality.
The genetic areas had also been associated with homosexuality in earlier studies.
Lead scientist Alan Sanders declared that the work "erodes the notion that sexual orientation is a choice".
In some countries, homosexuality remains illegal and stigmatised, with Russia recently passing widely criticised laws prohibiting "gay propaganda". In the US, "gay conversion" therapists claim they can cure homosexuality.
As part of the study, which was three times larger than any previously conducted, the scientists took blood and saliva samples from 409 pairs of gay brothers, and analysed it for genetic markers known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
They found that the genetic regions Xq28, first identified in 1993 as being associated with homosexuality, and 8q12, spotted in 2005, were shared by the brothers.
Homosexuality was the only trait shared by all of the pairs of brothers.
Other traits, including hair color and intelligence varied significantly between individuals and pairs, meaning that the markers found in the same genetic location in all men were most likely associated with their homosexuality.
The scientists said that they had not identified a single, specific gene, as the areas of DNA highlighted in the study containing many genes, and that multiple factors were likely to be involved in the formation of human sexuality.
Scientists believe the results of the study provide more evidence that sexuality is innate.
"This study knocks another nail into the coffin of the 'chosen lifestyle' theory of homosexuality," said neuroscientist Simon LeVay, who in the early 1990s claimed that a specific region of the brain is smaller for gay men.
"Yes, we have a choice in life, to be ourselves or to conform to someone else's idea of normality, but being straight, bisexual or gay, or none of these, is a central part of who we are, thanks in part to the DNA we were born with," said LeVay.
"Much hard work now lies ahead to identify the specific genes involved and how they work, as well as to find equivalent genes in women," he adds. | 2019-04-18T19:15:35 | https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/landmark-gay-gene-study-provides-evidence-sexuality-not-chosen-1476096 |

ABC News will create the largest dedicated daily investigative and specialist journalism teams in the country under a proposal outlined to staff today.
ABC Investigations: Led by editor Jo Puccini, formerly 7.30 EP, and including 10 top investigative reporters, Australia’s most formidable daily investigative journalism unit would work across programs and platforms, uncovering exclusive stories and breaking new ground on big issues.
Specialist Reporting Team: Under Editor Lisa Whitby, formerly Lateline EP, a team of reporters and producers would bring in-depth, expert reporting to core rounds including: Technology & Science; Regional Communities; Consumer Affairs; Education; Health; Arts, Culture & Entertainment; Social Affairs; and Indigenous.
Two new television programs would also launch in changes proposed for the 2018 season: a primetime news discussion show at 9pm on the ABC News channel, presented by Stan Grant, and a half-hour late edition national news bulletin at 10.30pm on the ABC TV main channel.
And two programs would come to an end, with Lateline and The Link finishing at the end of their current seasons, and presenters Emma Alberici and Stan Grant moving to key new roles. As well as the presenting role, Grant takes up the position of Chief Asia Correspondent, and Alberici becomes the ABC’s Chief Economics Correspondent.
Nightly current affairs flagship 7.30 would also be strengthened, reinforcing its position as the nightly destination for Australia’s best analysis and storytelling.
“These proposals represent a big investment by the ABC in investigative, specialist and in-depth journalism at a time when many other media outlets are retreating from these areas,” said ABC Director, News Gaven Morris.
Morris paid tribute to Lateline and its team.
“When it launched in 1990 Lateline was a groundbreaking program, and for almost three decades it has made an enormous contribution to Australian public life,” he said. “Many great ABC journalists and production teams have worked with Lateline and the current team has produced an innovative brand of late-evening current affairs. The Link was a bold experiment that has done wonderful, creative work. | 2019-04-19T21:03:37 | https://mediaweek.com.au/abc-lateline-investigative-journalism/ |

The reimagining of Shakespeare’s 'Hamlet' also stars Naomi Watts and Clive Owen.
IFC Films has picked up U.S. rights to Ophelia, the reimagining of Shakespeare's Hamlet by Australian filmmaker Claire McCarthy and Covert Media.
Star Wars leading lady Daisy Ridley plays the protagonist. George MacKay co-stars as Hamlet, alongside Naomi Watts as Gertrude and Clive Owen as Claudius.
IFC Films plans a theatrical release later this year. The film, which had its world premiere at Sundance in 2018, was adapted for the screen by Semi Chellas, from Lisa Klein’s 2006 young adult novel Ophelia.
Set in the 14th century, but spoken in a contemporary voice, Ophelia puts the focus on the drama’s young female character as she is taken into Elsinore Castle under the wing of Queen Gertrude. Soon Ophelia captures the attention of Gertrude’s son, Prince Hamlet, and as she learns the ways of power, an undeniable love between the couple blossoms in secret. But when the murder of Hamlet’s father drives the Prince into a downward spiral of vengeance, Ophelia struggles to protect a dangerous secret amid gathering palace intrigue. She must ultimately decide between her true love and her own life.
Ophelia was produced by Daniel Bobker, Ehren Kruger, Sarah Curtis and Paul Hanson, while Elissa Friedman, Sasha Shapiro, Anton Lessine and Bert Marcus, who co-financed the picture, share executive producer credits.
The U.S. rights deal was negotiated by IFC Films executive vp acquisitions and productions Arianna Bocco, Linda Benjamin at Covert Media and CAA on behalf of the filmmakers. | 2019-04-23T04:01:32 | https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ifc-films-picks-up-us-rights-daisy-ridleys-ophelia-1184609 |
That's very exciting news (at least for me) and I'm really looking forward to get my hands on that open gaming console based on Android. A nice Easter surprise but still it will take a couple of weeks until the console will arrive hear in Mauritius. Crossing fingers for end of April.
Just in case that you might not know what I'm talking about... Please have a look at the official website of OUYA.
Since the Kickstarter campaign last year, I was following the development and news coverage of OUYA closely. And it is really pleasant to see that a crowd-funded project sticks to their planned schedule. Some times just in time, sometimes even a little bit ahead of the deadline. Which is absolutely great. Now, what's the cool element with OUYA? Easy, you hook it up to your TV set and you can enjoy your Android games on the big screen with Full HD resolution (1080p) and decent sounds.
The official retail launch of OUYA will be on the 4th of June. You can already pre-order this cool gadget for $99,- on their website.
One of the promises that OUYA makes is that any game will be free to try and that you wont be charged until you are really convinced and 'love' the game you're playing. Honestly, a bold statement and a clear understanding of gamers all over the world. I mean, how often did you 'waste' your well-earned money on some cracked up game with lots of flaws and bugs?
Being a software craftsman I'm also looking forward to use the OUYA console for a couple of my own developments based on Mono for Android. Actually, it should be straight forward and easy to 'port' those apps onto the big screen. Also taking into consideration that the upcoming generation of Android devices will likely ship with high-resolution displays as the S4 already does. The next Samsung Unpacked event at the IFA exhibition in Germany will hopefully bring us a new tablet with higher pixel density and resolution.
Another reason to go for OUYA is also based on my slight disappointment about the upcoming products by the big three. Namely, Nintendo with the Wii U, Sone with the PS4 and Microsoft with the XBox 720. I don't know but none of those systems is really catching my full attention. Frankly, the consoles made by Sony and Microsoft never did and I guess wont ever, but even Nintendo doesn't fit my expectations completely. Gaming on Nintendo since the early ages of consoles - I had quite some in the past: NES, SNES, Game Boy, N64, NDS, GameCube, Wii - but I have to have a closer look at the Wii U in order to decide whether I'm going to upgrade my Wii system or not. It all depends on the game experience and available titles. Eventually, I might check out one of the stores in Rose Hill to try the Wii U for some minutes, and have some exchange with other gamers on that.
And last but not least, the OUYA is an open environment. Which means that there is absolutely no need to root, hack, jail break or whatever you name it in order to get access to the ingridients. Even the hardware can be opened with a standard screw driver and doesn't require any special tools. The console you buy is your development bed. If you have a cool idea for the next generation game, simply get the OUYA Development Kit (ODK) and get things up and running. As stated above, I'm really looking forward to check out my recent developments based on Android for Mono on this device.
What do you think about OUYA? Is it time for a new gaming console?

Dusty joins forces with veteran fire and rescue helicopter Blade Ranger and his team, a bunch of all-terrain vehicles known as The Smokejumpers. Together, the fearless team battles a massive wildfire, and Dusty learns what it takes to become a true hero.
It was great to see a true kid movie that was still entertaining for adults. The movie was well geared towards young kids, with age appropriate themes, just the right amount of tension, and a solid story. A much more cohesive movie than Cars 2 and a different style story from either of the Cars movies or the 1st Planes. In truth, my kids would have loved to see another racing movie as they love cheering Dusty or Lightning McQueen on, but as the parent, it was nice to see a different story line. This is not a movie I'd seek out as an adult without young kids, but tagging along with them was a fun time for all. The tribute and dedication to actual firefighters was a nice touch as well, adding some depth to a kid fair. Some reviews have criticized the film for lack of depth, intensity, detail of animation, etc., etc. Those reviews are misplaced as the movie is not aiming to be Citizen Kane or art house fair. Its a young kids movie, plain and simple, and its a good one at that. Nothing wrong with being a good kids movie that is aiming to only please kids. My kids loved it and could care less if the frame rate matched that of Frozen or Toy Story. | 2019-04-25T16:13:09 | http://www.moviehdstream.net/watch-planes-fire-rescue-on-demand.html |
That seemed…. weird. So I went over to the ColdFusion docs for cacheGet and was disappointed to find that no one had updated this. When you make a change to the language, you need to update the docs as well. Release notes in an update are not enough. I’ll raise this internally so hopefully it won’t happen again. There is also the corresponding need of an update for ColdFusion Builder. I’d have to assume (and I can definitely be wrong!) that this language tweak would require a minor update to CFB, so that should have been released as well. Again, I’ll raise this internally.
From what I can read in the bug report by itisdesign, at some point there was a change for queries that were cached using cachedWithin/cachedAfter. If you do not specify a specific cache ID for the query, then a Java object is used for the ID instead. Here is an example. | 2019-04-18T19:10:03 | https://www.raymondcamden.com/2014/12/09/coldfusion-updated-and-some-notes-about-query-caching |
The German defender Jérôme Boateng clearing the ball from the line during a victory against Ukraine in Euro 2016 this past weekend. Germany won the World Cup in 2014.
For some American fans, the World Cup is the be-all and end-all of international soccer. There is no close second.
Across the Atlantic, though, many fans, soccer writers and even some players have contended that the European championships, or Euros, which began on Friday, produce better soccer than the World Cup.
The pro-Euro argument is that a lot more teams compete in the World Cup, including some from countries that have rarely done well at the international level. This can create too many lopsided games and possibly drag down the overall quality of the soccer. So while there have been many great games in the World Cup, the thinking goes, the standard of play has been lower on balance.
There are reasons for assuming this is true. The best players from around the world overwhelmingly play for European clubs, which helps bolster the standard of European players…. | 2019-04-21T02:40:47 | http://www.monitorsport.com/the-beautiful-game-euro-soccer-just-as-good-as-the-world-cup-if-not-better/ |

The one to consider is the present Kali Yuga, which has 427,000 years left (total of 432,000).
There is a 10,000 year Golden Age ending February 6898. This current Yuga began 3102 BCE. The video gives a brief description of the present Yuga.
Unfortunately, the Golden age will end, but humanity has developed scores of technological AND spiritual advances, with the last 300+ years moving fast.
How do you think humanity would feel and perceive this modern world in 1700? SHOCKED, to be sure. From horse and carriages, for centuries, to rockets that fly around the world? From using oil lamps to endless varieties of lighting. That's just the appetizer. Try explaining modern science, in all of its fields to a man who may, or may not, have any books about anything more than Newtonian knowledge?
The questions here is what makes anyone think that it is "all over", or nothing new cannot be realized, when all of the best minds are currently working to revolutionize our world, even beyond our OWN PERSPECTIVES?

A little over a month ago I was having some font issues with LaTeX, and I wasn’t sure why. In fact, I never really figured out why. But basically I was getting some ugly bitmap fonts, and I wasn’t going to accept that. So I tried a bunch of things, including trying to re-install tetex. Eventually, I decided to totally re-install fink. In the process, I thought I could maybe just copy the whole /sw directory from my external hard-drive backup. I made one big mistake here though. Instead of copying backup/sw/* to /sw, I copied backup/sw/* to /, meaning that I unintentionally overwrote some important files. So I ended up reinstalling the whole OS. This took some time, but since pretty much everything was backed up, I was not too worried, and it seems like a fresh install is good every now and then anyways.
After, I reinstalled, I decided to try FileVault, which is a neat idea in theory. It encrypts your entire home directory as a sparse disk image, and when you log in, decrypts it on the fly. While you are logged in, it looks like a normal home directory. When you are logged out, it is one large password-protected and encrypted file. So, if you lose your laptop, your data is safe. Even if someone takes the hard-drive out of your computer. Your data is 128-bit AES encrypted, and unless they guess your password, it is very hard to crack.
Graphic Converter is an excellent Mac program that convert just about any image type into just about any other. It is shareware, but pretty good shareware. Without paying you get almost full functionality except customizing batch processing. I finally ponied up the $30 about a year ago, and it has definitely been worth it. So, batch processing. For batch processing Graphic Converter does not use the native file chooser, but uses its own. It would not recognize my home directory using FileVault. How crappy.
There you have it. If you do have a bunch of sensitive data (on a laptop especially), I would nevertheless recommend using FileVault, in spite of the problems. If you recall, the last few major cases of personal data theft has been by stealing hard drives and laptops, not by hacking into computer systems. We need both physical and virtual security. Encrypting your data helps on both fronts.

BERKELEY, Calif. — Nat Courtney’s father had worked for the father of longtime Honda dealership owner Jim Doten. The Doten family, he said, had treated the workers with respect. So Courtney, who started there in 1974 and is now shop steward and a Gold-level Honda-certified technician, naturally thought his job was stable and dependable, the kind of work you could raise a family on.
That is, until the word went around last spring that the dealership was being sold.
On June 1, 2005, Jim Doten sold the dealership to Stephen Beinke, developer of the exclusive suburban Blackhawk community, and his son, Tim Beinke. The new owners forced the 25 service workers to reapply for their jobs, replacing about half with lower-paid recent technical school graduates.
The remaining service workers, members of East Bay Automotive Machinists Lodge 1546, struck the dealership in response. “We feared we were training our replacements,” John McGlinchy, a nine-year worker who had been rehired, told the San Francisco Chronicle at the time.
That the little band of strikers continues to stand tall is due not only to their own dedication and persistence and the backing of their union, but also to strong support from the community, from other unions and from the Central Labor Council of Alameda County. Recent rallies have featured participation by the union coalition at the University of California at Berkeley, the United Food and Commercial Workers, Federation of Retired Union Members, Peace and Freedom Party, Gray Panthers, Progressive Democrats of America and many others.
The Berkeley City Council endorsed a boycott. Mayor Tom Bates’ two offers to mediate were rejected by the new owners.
“What’s important is that the community got together with the union,” said Judy Shelton, until recently co-chair of the Berkeley Honda Labor and Community Coalition.
“What they’re trying to do is just plain wrong,” said fellow Local 1545 member Robert Pintos, a mechanic and shop steward at another area auto dealership, who often pickets with the Honda workers, together with his two young daughters.
Pintos added that hiring nonunion mechanics who have not benefited from the union’s apprenticeship training is a false economy, hurting consumers as well as workers.
For information on rallies — Thursdays from 4:30-6 p.m. and Saturdays from 1-2:30 p.m. — phone the Alameda County CLC at (510) 632-4242, ext. 224. | 2019-04-19T10:30:15 | https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/berkeley-honda-strikers-standing-strong/ |

Slovakia got off to a great start in the tournament as they beat Belarus in their first game, 4-2.
Slovakia got off to a great start in the tournament as they beat Belarus in their first game, 4-2. Lukas Hursik scored the game winner 19 seconds into the third period and goaltender Adam Huska made 24 saves.
On the outset, Slovakia was supposed to have the upper hand. After all, Slovakia had won all four previous World Juniors games between the two nations. Also, for them, the game against Belarus was the first one in the tournament whereas Belarus had played a tough game against Finland less than 24 hours earlier.
“I don’t think that gave us any advantages. I actually good for them to have played a game and be tournament ready,” Slovakia's forward Filip Lestan said.
“This game was our best chance to stay in the top division and we were prepared to do everything to win it,” said a disappointed Belarus forward Andrei Belevich.
Slovakia got the start it wanted when just seven minutes into the game, while playing with six skaters during a delayed penalty, they scored the important opening goal. Juraj Siska and Matus Sukel played the puck to Patrik Koch on the point, and his slap shop found its way through a lot of traffic and into the Belarusian net. Ivan Kulbakov didn’t see the puck until it was too late.
“It went pretty well but we planned to score more goals in the game," Lestan said.
When Slovakia then got a power play a minute and a half later, it seemed that they had control of the game, but a good penalty kill gave Belarus an energy boost, and with 8:27 remaining in the first period, Belarus tied the game. A shot from the point was blocked, but Slovakia couldn’t clear it, and somehow the puck bounced to Vadim Malinovsk who was all alone in front of the net. He whiffed on the puck with his first try on backhand, but could control the puck and beat Adam Huska with a wrist shot from just outside the crease.
Early in the second period, Belarus got their first power play opportunity and they capitalized on it. Danila Karaban got the puck at the hash marks and coolly passed it to Belevich in the middle of the Slovak box. Huska made the initial save, but Ruslan Vasilchuk grabbed the rebound and slammed it in to give Belarus the 2-1 lead in the game.
“We were in the middle of a line change so we had to improvise a little bit,” Belevich said of the goal.
But Slovakia came back. Belarus turned the puck over in their own zone halfway through the third period, and Maros Surovy didn’t waste any time with his fantastic backhanded pass that found Lestan all alone in front of Huska’s net. Lestan had an easy job to one-time the puck into the net and tie the game.
Both teams had excellent scoring chances in the second period, but both teams' goalies were just as excellent.
Slovakia pushed its way back into the driver’s seat in the game in the first shift of the third period Matej Palocko won an offensive zone faceoff cleanly and Lukas Hrusik one-timed it top shelf, over Kulbakov’s glove just 19 seconds into the period.
With 14 minutes remaining in the third period, Belarus made a goalie change and Vladislav Verbitski came in relief, only to leave the net again eight minutes later when Kulbakov returned to action.
Belarus gave everything they got, but Slovakia held on to their lead all the way to the end.
Juraj Siska was credited with Slovakia's fourth goal with 19 seconds remaining in the game. Belarus had pulled Kulbakov for the extra attacker, but he tried to hop back on and stop Siska from scoring into the empty net. Instead, Kulbakov fell and hurt his leg, and Slovakia automatically was awarded the goal.
"It was tough at the end of the game because we had to kill back-to-back penalties,” Lestan said.
Now it's Slovakia's turn to quickly prepare themselves for the next game. Tomorrow at 14:00 they will take on their dear rivals, the Czechs.
“First win is naturally important and a good step forward. We hope to beat the Czechs tomorrow. It’s going to be a good derby,” Lestan said.
“We want to make the playoff stage, and then we’ll see what happens,” he added.
Belarus will rest tomorrow and then take on Russia on Tuesday.
“Of course we have to prepare for every game as well as possible,” Belevich said. | 2019-04-23T14:37:52 | http://www.worldjunior2016.com/en/news/blr-svk/ |
Thank you for the picture, Ellen!
There aren’t a lot of furry slice-of-life comics with staying power. “Fur-piled” had a pretty impressive seven-year run, but beyond that, it seems like slice of life–a genre that thrives on character growth–doesn’t tend to stick around long enough to live to that promise. So looking at the five- or six-year history of Ellen Natalie‘s ongoing webcomic, “The Furry Experience,” is kind of amazing. Long-lived characters, an interesting world, and not a lot of shark-jumping.
It helps to have a great world to draw on. I’ve reviewed webcomics set in wacky sci-fi space ships and steampunk versions of Portland, and webcomics where gods play dice (funny 12-sided dice, too) with their characters’ lives, where characters are transformed between species, and where magical dragon ladies teleport out of refrigerators. Honestly, those kinds of fantasies have a lot less high weirdness to offer than Salt Lake City, and the kind of real-world drama (and humor) you can get by framing your narrative in a world that’s interpenetrated by the very conservative Church of Latter Day Saints.
Okay, so, is there an unwritten rule that the lens character for a furry webcomic must be an artist of the same species as the webcomic artist herself? Just saying. Like I can talk.
–Ahem. Catherine, the artist, is a member of the Mormon church, and her housemates Rhonda and Dawn have varying levels of “church outsider” happening. From my limited knowledge of Salt Lake City, and frankly, having gone to college and grown up in the south anyway, finding your place in, out of, or relative to a church is a part of growing up, particularly during those weird early 20something identity periods. Regardless, it makes a fresh setting compared to the “oh, whatever, anything goes” backdrops of a lot of strips.
The title “The Furry Experience” is kind of an interesting one–I had a little bit of conversation with Ellen about her time in the fandom, and it kind of started with TFE–“Better Days” and “Circles” introduced her to the fandom and got her out of an artistic slump, and there may be a bit of autobiography waaaay back on Page 1 (“Why don’t you google for Furries and see what you get?”) A lot of the early material is more about the idea of “furry,” of anthros in general, and it takes a while for the title to get into what turns into its meat and potatoes down the road–college, growing up, the awkward balance between faith and the world. Consider starting somewhere in the middle–around page 170 or so–the artwork is more mature, the plots are stronger. TFE never stops being a humorous web series, but it balances humor with story. I do wonder if, six years after the fact, Ellen might have chosen a different title, though.
Meanwhile, on Patreon, there’s a bunch of different ways to get involved. One of the more interesting ones, if you’re willing to make a substantial donation of $25 a month, is becoming an ongoing character in the comic–walk-on roles in crowd scenes and backgrounds on a regular basis. Searching for your furry alt is like trying to find Waldo, but more gratifying.
Anyway, check out the webcomic. If you like churchy stuff as much as I do, here’s a good place to begin, with a satisfying argument about gender roles and societal pressure within organized religion. If you like silly stuff, the most recent plotline has two high-quality dumb guys trying to dispose of an old sofa. If you like what you see, follow Ellen on FA and consider a monthly tip through Patreon. Enjoy the ride!

Bacterial cells make a wide variety of lipids from subunits of fatty acids that have some important functions in the cell. Lipids are the main part of membranes and can be used as stores for longer-term storage of energy. Fatty acids are built by adding two carbons at a time to a growing fatty acid chain.
The enzyme acyl carrier protein (ACP) is essential to this process because it holds onto the growing chain until all the carbons have been added.
Fatty acids can either be straight-chained or branched; in addition, they can either be saturated or unsaturated. Straight-chained saturated fatty acids are very straight, while unsaturated sites add kinks and bends in the chain. Straight chains of lipids can be packed more densely next to one another (as in a membrane, for instance). These differences determine how a membrane will function (for example, under different temperatures).
Membrane lipids in particular need to have a polar side and a nonpolar side, meaning one side with a charge and one side without. This allows them to interact with other charged molecules (like water) on one side and to interact with other uncharged molecules (like fats) on the other. This is done by attaching the nonpolar fatty acid chains to a polar group like a carbohydrate or a phosphate.
Glycerol is an example of a polar group with three carbons that can either all be bonded to fatty acids (making simple triglycerides) or to fatty acids and other side groups (making complex lipids). In archaea, the polar groups are the same but the nonpolar groups are made of longer branched chained molecules called phytanyls and biphytanyls. | 2019-04-22T02:03:23 | https://www.dummies.com/education/science/biology/cells-fatty-acids-and-lipids/ |

Dr. Chris Knobbe is the Founder of Cure AMD Foundation™, a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, collectively founded upon altruistic, humanitarian, and scientific aspirations, with the ultimate goal of preventing vision loss from age-related macular degeneration (AMD) for entire populations. It is Dr. Knobbe’s belief that this is possible, on a massive scale, with widespread adoption of the principles, practices, and philosophy of ancestral dietary strategy.
And the research, thus far, entirely supports the hypothesis.
Dr. Knobbe is a man of Christian beliefs and principles — and he allows those foundational principles to guide his every action.
He receives no compensation for his role with the organization. Verify here.
To learn more about Dr. Knobbe, please refer to the About page, where Dr. Knobbe wrote an article describing a bit about the research, goals, and philosophy of this Foundation.
Mr. Charlie Collins, of Cheshire, Connecticut, is the only board member who does not reside in the State of Colorado. However, this doesn’t stop him from being a key and integral member of the organization.
Charlie, who was born with a genetic condition known as Juvenile Macular Degeneration, or Stargardt’s Disease, has been centrally blind, since age 12 or 13. This presented Charlie with challenges that few of us have ever had to even consider facing during our lives. And Charlie suffered through. It wasn’t until Charlie was in his 30’s that he took his own visual disability, and used that to turn his own life around. Charlie envisioned a low-vision devices company that would provide for the very people that were walking in his shoes — namely, those with low vision and blindness. Through teaching people how to use adaptive technologies, Charlie became a successful businessman. He has remained in the low vision business ever since.
It is the Cure AMD Foundation Board’s belief that Charlie provides leadership and goals that are in alignment with that of Dr. Knobbe’s, i.e., to save vision, for people all over the globe, through the hypothesis and research begun by Dr. Knobbe. We consider it an honor to have the leadership provided by Mr. Charlie Collins, who also offers his services on a volunteer, non-compensated, basis.
Renee Hughes has had decades of success and experience in business management – particularly in turning around fledgling small and medium business organizations. Now, towards the end of her career, she has elected to volunteer as Vice-President for Cure AMD Foundation™.
Renee’s motivation to help foster Cure AMD Foundation, is personal and spiritual. A Christian woman herself, Renee believes that, after losing her sister to cancer, this is her opportunity to help bring that life- and vision-saving message to the public. Renee now practices ancestral dietary principles, has adopted the philosophy, and spreads the message wherever she goes.
We are humbled to be associated with such an accomplished, kind, and compassionate leader.
Lisa Perry has decades of experience in business management as well as in medical office management. Lisa, who has a masters degree in business from the University of Denver, in Denver, Colorado, functions as Cure AMD Foundation’s treasurer, but she frequently lends her expertise in business management to the organization, with her vast experience and expertise.
Over the past several years, Lisa has also developed a deep interest in ancestral nutrition as well as the research and writings of Weston A. Price, the nutrition-researcher who inspired Dr. Knobbe to develop his hypothesis for the nutritional basis of AMD. This inspiration has lead her on a path, like the other Board Members for this foundation, to commit her time and energy towards the altruistic cause of saving vision from the ravages of AMD.
As with Renee and Charlie, we are humbled to be honored with the expertise of Lisa Perry.
None of the principal organizers of Cure AMD Foundation, including Dr. Knobbe, receive any financial remuneration for their commitment to Cure AMD Foundation™. The organization is founded with the goal of spreading knowledge regarding nutrient-dense ancestral diets, to benefit health and vision, simultaneously. To confirm our financial status, please review our Annual Report/Financial Information page.
If you and/or your organization make a charitable contribution to Cure AMD Foundation™, every penny will go towards spreading this message, funding further research to support this hypothesis, and worldwide advocacy to help save vision for millions. Your tax-deductible contribution could one day save the vision of your own siblings and your own children. | 2019-04-26T10:04:37 | https://www.cureamd.org/cure-amd-foundation-board-of-directors/ |

Overall I like it better than the aspen. Holds humidity very well. Just had to to be careful about not getting it to saturated before putting it in. But best of all I did 4 4x2 cages and still have some left.
I love that pattern and contrast.

Original Lighthouse Photography by Bruce Roberts.
Bruce Roberts has been a well known and respected lighthouse historian, photographer and author since the subject gained the nation’s interest in the 1980’s. The former Director of Photography and Senior Photographer at Southern Living Magazine, Bruce was also a member of the legendary 1960s photo staff of The Charlotte Observer, which pioneered the use of the 35mm camera and natural light for newspaper photography. For over twenty years, lighthouses have become his favorite subject. His renowned lighthouse photography has appeared in hundreds of books and magazines including Southern Lighthouses and American Lighthouses. Bruce has also done freelance photography for Life Magazine, Sports Illustrated and many others. He has coauthored numerous best selling lighthouse books as well as numerous other historical books. His photography is respected world wide and some are part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution. He is also a founding charter member of the Outer Banks Lighthouse Society . “Bruce Roberts has earned the right to be acknowledged as one of our era’s most important photojournalists, and although he seldom displays them, he has a room full of awards to prove it.” says co-author Ray Jones.
We have been most fortunate to obtain from Mr. Roberts a selection of his early lighthouse photographs done for his first lighthouse series with Globe Pequot; Northern Lighthouses and Southern Lighthouses. These prints were hand printed by Mr. Roberts at the time and all bear his signature on the back. They are all printed on double weight fiber based paper of the same type used for museum archival printing. All are silver prints done by hand and tray processed – an art that is fast fading away today, being replaced by digital photography. Because of the process and paper used, these museum quality prints will last a hundred years into the future.
We have shown just a few here but this medium does not do them justice. When matted and framed, you will have a lovely work of art for your wall. Many more are available. Please ask for specific stations noted above and we will email you images available and pricing.

Almost every cell in your body runs the risk of becoming cancerous if its tiny little parts take a wrong turn and the cell goes rogue – ready to replicate itself endlessly, grow a tumor and threaten your life.
So if you want to keep from getting cancer, you have to insure that the delicate mechanisms within your cells don’t malfunction — and you have to maintain the mechanisms in your body that destroy cells when they DO malfunction.
And that’s where a new discovery about elephants helps us understand how the body fights off cancer.
What do elephants have to do with it? Keep reading. . .
Elephants are relevant because of their size and their ability to shrug off cancer.
Theoretically, because almost all cells in an organism run a risk of someday becoming cancer cells, medical researchers have long believed that the bigger an animal is and the more cells it has, the more likely it is that one of those cells, somewhere, can malfunction and develop into cancer.
Which left them puzzled. If size increases cancer risk, how come elephants hardly ever develop cancer?
Well, it turns out that elephants possess an important anti-cancer advantage that we humans lack. Each of their cells includes more than three dozen copies of a “tumor suppressor” gene whose main purpose is to eliminate cells that threaten to turn cancerous.
We humans do have that same gene. But each of our cells usually only contains two copies of it. Elephants, on the other hand, carry around dozens of extra copies of this cancer-preventing gene. We can’t match that, but there are some things we can do to enhance the activity of our tumor suppressor genes.
“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer. It’s up to us to learn how different animals tackle the problem so we can adapt those strategies to prevent cancer in people,” says researcher Joshua Schiffman, M.D., a pediatric oncologist at Huntsman.
Dr. Schiffman says that elephants have 100 times more cells than you or I, and it’s been thought that they should therefore be 100 times more vulnerable to cancer during their life expectancy of 50 to 70 years.
But they aren’t vulnerable to cancer. Only about five percent of elephants ever suffer cancer of any sort. In contrast, 11 to 25 percent of humans develop cancer during their lifetimes.
During the Huntsman research, researchers examined white blood cells that were taken from elephants during their routine physical exams. In the lab, the scientists used chemicals to damage the cells’ DNA with the intent of making them cancerous.
As part of the experiment, the researchers also exposed a collection of cells to radiation that causes cancer. Then they compared the responses of elephant cells, normal human cells and cells from people who are deficient in p53 (this occurs in folks who have what’s called Li-Fraumeni Syndrome).
People who inherit Li-Fraumeni Syndrome are not only restricted to a single copy of p53 per cell, they also run a 90 percent risk of developing cancer during their lifetime.
In the lab, after the scientists radiated the cells, they found that the elephant cells underwent apoptosis twice as often as the normal human cells and five times as often as cells from people with Li-Frumeni.
One of the functions of p53 is to lower our risk for skin cancer. The gene and the proteins it produces are essential for helping skin tan and protect itself from the harm that can be caused by the destructive power of the sun’s ultraviolet light.
In their studies, these researchers also believe they’ve discovered the origin of the skin spots that older people develop.
The small dark spots, say the scientists, may be the work of p53. The spots form when a group of skin cells produce dark pigment stimulated by irritation or stress on the skin. The spots themselves are not a health risk, but they are unattractive.
Research on p53 has provided insight into how some cancer-preventing natural substances help the body stay cancer free.
While other studies have shown that resveratrol increases apoptosis – self-destruction of cancer cells – in some types of cancer but not in others, researchers didn’t know why cancers react differently to the natural chemical.
The Brazilians identified some types of cancer in which the cells are missing p53 or have only damaged or incomplete versions of it. Resveratrol was ineffective in treating these cancers. They think that if p53 can be put back into cancer cells where it is missing, resveratrol can then be used to attack the cancer.
An investigation at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University Medical Center shows that phenethyl isothiocyante (PEITC) extracted from cruciferous vegetables helps eliminate mutated p53 that promotes cancer and helps cells replace it with normal p53 that kills off cancer cells.
According to the researchers, the result is not only the restoration of properly functioning p53, but an increased sensitivity in the cancer cells that allows them to be killed directly by the vegetables’ PEITC. For more information about PEITC, check out Issue #223.
The researchers at both Georgetown and Rio hope that someday their studies on how natural substances work against cancer will allow doctors to use these chemicals to beat back tumors.
But in the meantime, you can still use that old, reliable cancer-fighter – your fork – to feed yourself the foods that boost your p53 genes and help prevent cancer in the first place. | 2019-04-26T00:09:02 | https://www.cancerdefeated.com/why-elephants-rarely-get-cancer/3405/ |
Part 6/7: Permanently Installing New Belief Systems With Key Exercises | West Loh on Leverage, Automation and Outsourcing Strategies, 100% Free!
-I am worthy and I am ready, I choose wealth now.
Andrew: Some of the new belief systems that we put in there were instead of feeling guilty in having to work hard, we replaced it with things like money comes easily to me, great opportunities are everywhere, my self worth is innate. It doesn’t come from what I do or what I don’t do.
So they’re all the sort of things that sort of removed it. But they had to go from a head level to a heart level. And that was our new belief system. And there was a whole bunch of exercises that we did to help us do that.
West: And then that translated into your bank account.
Andrew: Almost within…well, it started flying within weeks. And within months it was going.
Now, it took us a few years to get to that point to understand that. But here’s one thing that my good friend Paul Blackburn—who is one of my mentors—taught me. He says that people don’t learn slow; they learn instantly or fast. You ether get it or you don’t. You might hear about it, you might listen to it, you might contemplate it for a long time. But there’s a point where you either get it or you don’t get it. And that’s the same with these programs. You either understand the program and you get it and you want to change it. Or you don’t. So it’s got to jump from the head into the heart. And when it jumps into the heart, then that’s where it makes the difference.
West: Definitely. And this program is all about doing that, isn’t it? It’s all about that process.
Andrew: Yeah. West, this is the reason that we wanted to get this program to go: that we can share the step by step methods and teachings of how to identify your subconscious blocks that are stopping you from becoming financially independent in whatever way you want to be financially independent, whatever definition that is for you, and it’s helping you to identify those blocks and then remove them and then replace them with something which is going to get you to where you want to be and not having to be repeating and struggling and repeating the same mistakes you made before with money or struggling from day to day. There’s no reason why you need to struggle anymore. You can actually get ahead and have the lifestyle that you want. It’s all at your fingertips.
West: In the next video, I would like you to talk to the people about how to go through an exercise, potentially get them on their way.
Andrew: So you want me to show them how to actually remove it?
West: I think they’d appreciate that.
Andrew: Okay, cool. If you’re interested in actually finding out how we can help you with this program and implement it in your life, we’re giving you an invitation to click below and find out how you can join our mentoring program on these subjects.
So click below and we’ll help you out there. And see you in the next video. | 2019-04-18T10:36:38 | http://www.westloh.com/2011/05/part-67-reprogramming-with-new-belief-systems/ |
This paper emphasises the tensions between the ideal of the compliant within care settings and the ideal of the critical thinker within the university setting with reference to student nurse education and identity. Identity is an important part of who we are as people. While modernisation and increased professionalisation of nursing have impacted on staff and patients mostly in a positive way, changes in the management of nursing education in the past 20. years have also heralded a remarkable change in the student identity. Historically informed by association with a particular hospital or health service provider, student nurse identity was shaped by institutional rituals and routine, physically embodied in objects such as uniforms and hospital medals and informed by claims to honesty, virtue and personal integrity (Bradby, 1990). Once part of the structure and fabric of hospital life, nursing students functioned as part of the health care service. As such, their identity was synonymous with that of practicing nurses, whose learning needs were secondary to that of the organisational needs. While this social milieu provided the platform for the formation of institutional pride, belonging and identity, such forms of identity can result in institutional compliance; with the associated risk of ritualistic practice, poor levels of transparent accountability and barriers to whistle blowing should substandard practice arise. Increased student freedom and an emphasis on teaching and learning within the university setting may have benefitted students, patients and the profession, however, the potential impact on student identity is less certain. There is evidence to suggest that students are ill-equipped for their professional identity once qualified and thus require more support for this within universities. This paper explores the tensions between traditional hospital identity and contemporary university identity with reference to student nurse education. The ideal of the compliant versus the ideal of the critical thinker will be debated. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. | 2019-04-23T20:24:20 | http://eprints.teachingandlearning.ie/1836/ |

Abstract This review describes the structure of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene with expressed proteins and their possible tissue interactions. The functions of APC in animals and humans are discussed. The mutational spectrum with clinical impact on colon pathology and gynaecological pathology similarities are presented, along with a discussion of a highly sensitive molecular biology test.
Abstract The design of liposomes with a hydrophilic/steric barrier at their bilayer surface allows the modification of their pharmacokinetics and reduces the uptake by the RES. Liposomes can be coated by hydrophilic molecules such as polysaccharides, which disguise the vesicle surface by creating a threedimensional matrix near them and prevent the binding of plasma proteins and their recognition by some cellular receptors. All these considerations, and previous results obtained in our laboratory showing the formation of stable GAGliposome complexes, have lead us to think about the use of the negatively charged glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), alternately to other molecules such as the monosialoganglioside GM1, more expensive, or polyethylene glycol (PEG-PE) that can disturb the structural organization of the bilayer. The present paper describes the effect of the incorporation of GAGs to phospholipid vesicles, in relation to their electrical and permeability properties. The results obtained show that there is an effective coating of the bilayer surface when glycosaminoglycans are added to liposome suspensions. The shielding of the negative surface charge by the neutral hyaluronic acid, in the absence of calcium, and the increase in the negative charge when the negative polyelectrolytes chondroitin sulfate, heparin or dextran sulfate are added to calcium-containing liposome suspensions account for the formation of stable liposome-GAG complexes. Moreover, the reduced permeability of the GAG-coated liposomes points out on their ability to hold encapsulated drugs and, so, their potential usefulness as drug-sustained release carriers. The hydrophilic coating will give to these liposomal carriers long-circulating properties.
Abstract The hydration of a variety of phospholipids has been studied, gravimetrically. The water adsorption isotherms obtained have been analyzed by the use of BET methodology. The major findings are as follows: Phospholipids containing choline, as part of their head group and having a glycerol backbone are "strong" water adsorbers; the nature and fluidity of the hydrocarbon chains do not control the "strong" vs "weak" nature of the water binding but do modulate the amount of adsorbed water. The number of methyl groups present on the N + moiety of the head groups determines both the nature of the water binding as well as the amount of water adsorbed. The electrical charge on the phospholipid head group does not, in itself, determine the nature of the water binding; it does, however affect the amount of water bound. All of the phospholipids studied exhibit a very rapid rise in electrical conductivity as water is adsorbed; this rise reaches a limiting saturation value at or close to that for the completion of the first monolayer of water adsorbed. These findings are discussed in terms of the molecular structure of the phospholipids.
Abstract O-alkyl derivatives of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) have been previously described as effective DNA transfection reagents. This communication reports the effects of the neutral helper lipid dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) on the efficiency of transfection of BHK cells mediated by the O-ethyl-, O-hexyl-, and O-octadecyl- DOPC derivatives, compounds that by themselves are known to exhibit lyotropic phase preferences of lamellar, lamellar or cubic (depending on conditions) and inverse hexagonal, respectively. The effect of DOPE on transfection efficiency was found to be inhibition of the ethyl compound, stimulation or inhibition (depending on amount of DOPE) of the hexyl compound and stimulation in the case of the octadecyl compound, i.e., DOPE had a beneficial effect on the lipids that formed non-lamellar phases. X-ray diffraction was used to determine the lyotropic phase of the lipid-DOPE mixtures and of the lipid-DNA complex. DNA-lipid complexes tended to be lamellar unless the lipids had a very strong tendency toward the hexagonal phase, in which case the DNA complex was also hexagonal. Thus, a mixture of equal amounts of DOPE and hexyl-DOPC formed a lamellar complex with DNA, although the lipids on their own assumed the hexagonal phase. Octadecyl-DOPC formed a hexagonal phase with DOPE and the 1:1 DOPE mixture formed a hexagonal phase DNA complex; however, if smaller amounts of DOPE were included, the complex had a lamellar structure, in contrast to the hexagonal phase of the lipids by themselves. For these cationic phospholipids, there was not necessarily a benefit to transfection of generating a hexagonal phase lipid-DNA complex.
Abstract Interaction of two series of new surfactants with an incorporated antioxidant functional group with erythrocytes and planar lipid membranes was studied. Surfactants were synthesized in order to be potentially used as common bio-cides or as agents protecting biological and/or model membranes against lipid peroxidation. Both applications need the use of such bifunctional surfactants in significantly different concentrations. The aim of this work was to find the concentration range in which surfactants studied could be used as biocides. Two different models were chosen in order to do it; pig erythrocyte and asolectin planar membranes. The studied parameters of these models were hemolysis of red blood cells and stability of BLM in the presence of the compounds studied, i. e., the parameters describing mechanical properties of model membranes used. Additionally, the role of the counterions in the interaction of bifunctional surfactants with model membranes was studied. It was found that both homologous series of the surfactants influence model membranes to different degree depending on the length of their hydrophobic part and the kind of counterion. In the latter case it seems that the differences in the hydrated radii of bromide and chloride ions, and hence the differences in their ability to modify electrostatic interaction between the lipid polar heads and compounds studied, are responsible for the effects o bserved.
Abstract Malachite green (MG) consisting of green crystals with a metallic lustre, is very soluble in water and is highly cytotoxic to mammalian cells and also acts as a liver tumor promoter. In view of its industrial importance and possible exposure to human beings, MG poses a potential environmental health hazard. The malignant transformation of Syrian hamster embryo (SHE) cells by MG has been reported earlier. In this study, an attempt has been made to study the levels of vimentin, vimentin phosphorylation and the expression of PCNA and BrdU incorporation in MG transformed cells compared to control cells. Immunohistochemical and immunoprecipitation studies showed enhanced levels of vimentin in transformed cells compared to normal cells. Metabolic labelling studies showed an overall increase in phosphorylation of total cellular proteins as well as hyperphosphorylation of vimentin in transformed cells. Transformed cells also showed an increased doubling time, PCNA expression and BrdU incorporation. This study indicates a close relationship between vimentin levels, hyperphosphorylation of vimentin and increased cell proliferation associated with the malignant transformation of SHE cells.
the mutational variability in primary structure within this family is not consistent with the Markovian model of amino acid replacement.
Abstract The process of self-assembly and the electromechanical properties of bilayer lipid membranes (BLM) were investigated. The membranes were made of phosphatidylcholine with the addition of bolaamphiphilic steroid dimer. The membranes were formed using the Mueller-Rudin method. Membrane formation in the presence of the dimer was much faster and they were more stable than those formed in the absence of the dimer. The membranes formed by this method usually contain residues of a solvent used in the formation process which increases membrane thickness. Thus, the membranes formed from pure phosphatidylcholine had an average thickness of 5.9 nm. The addition of steroid dimer to the forming solution caused the thickness to decrease to 3.9 nm. An external voltage applied to the bilayer lipid membranes caused electrocompression. The presence of bolaamphiphilic steroid dimer in the membranes decreased the electrocompressibility by approximately 20 times. The dimer molecules „spanned” both monolayers of the membranes and caused the membrane thickness to decrease during their formation. The presence of the dimer in the membrane limited the mobility of solvent inside the membrane. The membranes formed with the dimer have such properties as thickness, stability, resistance, breakdown voltage, electrocompressibility, and time of formation more adequate for their application as a biomembrane model and support for sensors based on biomembrane molecules.
Abstract Many anti-cancer and antiviral drugs currently used are either unable or inefficient in their ability to pass through the blood brain-barrier and to enter and maintain therapeutic drug levels in brain. The low bioavailability of these drugs is a limiting factor in their use. In order to overcome these limitations, we ester-linked various anti-cancer and antiviral drugs to ceramide and phosphatidylcholine and created prodrugs possessing therapeutic attributes lacking in the parent compounds. This resulted in greater cellular uptake and prolonged retention of these prodrugs in vitro. Likewise, prodrug concentration was greater and retention time longer than the parent drug in the brain, testes and thymus of mice. Another major goal in drug development is discovering compounds that have efficacy against a specific microorganism or virus without significant side effects. For example, many potentially good drugs cannot be used because they are either toxic to uninfected cells or they cannot be restricted to a certain part of the body. If a drug could remain inert unless and until it is inside an infected cell, many of the common problems associated with drug treatments would be solved. In an attempt to address this problem we are developing a method by which a drug will be released only in cells that are infected with a particular microorganism or virus. The methodology makes use of the fact that microparticles are ingested by macrophages. Cell-specific treatment can be achieved by combining a drug with a microparticle using microorganismspecific enzyme substrates. Thus, release of active drug will occur only in the presence of enzymes specific to the target virus or microorganism. In the uninfected macrophage drug remains bound to the microparticle and is inactive. In the infected cell active drug is released by enzymatic hydrolysis. Potential applications for this technology include all diseases in which pathogens are resident in macrophages and other phagocytic cells. | 2019-04-26T05:41:50 | http://ojs.cmbl.org.pl/vol5_nr1.php |

Hyderabadi cuisine is one of the most delicious and complex of Indian cuisines. You’ll love this recipe! Serves 4.
1. Finely grind the onions, ginger, garlic, chillies, peppercorns, cloves and cinnamon in a food processor.
2. Heat the oil in a lidded saucepan and add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, urad dal (or lentils) and curry leaves until the seeds begin to pop, and the lentils and leaves become a couple of shades darker. This will only take a minute; be careful not to burn the spices.
3. Add the onion mixture, tomatoes, turmeric, salt, peas, yoghurt, and water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer with the lid on until the peas are cooked.
4. Add coriander leaves, and serve hot with chappaties.
Yes Joanne, I noticed the Hyderabadi recipe too. Pretty Neat !!! BTW why dont you have your email on your site.
I’ve been getting a lot of spam – the kind that’s sent to every blogger, I guess, about buying cheap electronics etc – so until I work out spam filters and privacy settings on WordPress, I thought it best not to publish my email address on the site. (I’m still very new to blogging, and the site will develop and evolve gradually). | 2019-04-19T22:42:53 | https://globalveggie.wordpress.com/2008/10/05/hyderabadi-green-pea-curry/ |

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 9, 2013) - Entelo today announced the launch of Entelo Inside, a groundbreaking new solution that leverages Entelo's real-time social data, advanced search technology and predictive analytics engine to enable employers to tap into an often underutilized source of candidates: the people who have previously applied to their companies.
At a time when candidates learn new skills and develop their expertise faster than ever, the information organizations maintain in their applicant tracking systems (ATS) and candidate relationship management (CRM) systems about previous applicants can quickly become outdated. Such older data represents missed opportunities for talent acquisition, as the employer may not realize the perfect candidate is right in front of them. Entelo Inside was developed to address this issue by integrating directly with an employer's ATS and CRM technology to help ensure that high-quality candidates are not passed over simply because the individual's data within the company's databases is not current.
Entelo Inside works across CRM and ATS platforms, ensuring data from the company's list of previous applicants is matched with robust Entelo profiles built from real-time social data. Delivered through a proprietary interface, Entelo Inside allows for a multitude of advanced searches to be run and enables previous applicants to be stack-ordered by various metrics that correlate with expertise and experience. In addition, the solution identifies and provides early indicators, using Entelo's proprietary algorithm, that a previous applicant may be considering a job change, helping employers gain the upper hand in recruiting top talent.
"In today's competitive hiring environment, employers need the insight to identify the best candidates and engage with them before their competitors do," said Jon Bischke, founder and CEO of Entelo. "Entelo Inside gives our clients a significant advantage by providing up-to-date, relevant information about their qualified previous applicants, helping them utilize this under-tapped source of hire. Within days of deploying Entelo Inside, employers can gain tremendous insights based on their own rich data and candidate pools and maximize their recruitment technology investments by engaging with the candidates who are a great fit for their open positions." | 2019-04-23T21:27:20 | http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/introducing-entelo-inside-helping-employers-leverage-previous-applicants-find-next-great-1839396.htm |

Mary Ann Stickney Miano and husband Ed Miano stand in front of The Antique Shop, Rutland.
Rutland County has traditionally been fertile ground for visitors and locals alike who are looking for “finds.” Even though the number of antique, vintage stores has dwindled in recent years, those that remain offer many possibilities for treasure hunters. The Mountain Times crisscrossed Rutland County to find them.
3 Crows Vintage is one of “The Shops at the Purple Picket Fence,” the local landmark for the Mr. Twitters home, garden and gift shop.
Mr. Twitters opened 25 years ago as a tile and home decorating store, then morphed into a small garden center. They still sell bedding plants, but in 2014, husband-and-wife owners Becky and Joe Rizzi replaced the tile inventory with a potpourri of antique and collectible home furnishings and accessories. The couple buys at auctions and estates and accepts a limited number of consignments. “We realized the recession was never going to end,” Becky Rizzi said, and they wanted to get around the problem of internet shopping.
Joe Rizzi specializes in refinishing, repainting and repurposing old furniture. “We like things that are fairly sculptural,” Becky Rizzi explained. “Things like Grandma used to have, no 50s modern.” Part-time employee Sue Haviland said, “Refinishing interests some of the younger people, it breathes new life into the old things.” The result is an eclectic, imaginative inventory.
Mary Ann Stickney Miano is a veteran of the Rutland antiques scene. Although she has been in the antiques business for 38 years, she described The Antique Shop as a “retirement project” that she and her husband, Ed Miano, an retired college professor, operate together.
Stickney’s group shop runs the gamut in price and period. “You get a variety, including price,” she said. She focuses on high quality offered at reasonable prices — smaller articles for under $20, on average.
As a Revolutionary War reenactor along with her husband, Stickney favors the 1700s because of the workmanship and ingenuity that came out of that period.
Directions: On Merchants Row near West St.
The Christini in “Christini N Me” is Christini Zullo. The Zullo family has owned The Sandwich Shop next door for years; Christini grew up in California. She specializes in what she calls “primitives” of the 1700s and 1800s, but handles large Victorian era furniture pieces as well. Wood and iron implements, glass and bottles of all kinds and periods, enamelware, statuary, curios and lots of toys crowd the store. Zullo buys at estate sales from Maine to Florida and western New York. She also buys from individuals, outright or on consignment. A “lifetime” of networking brings sellers to her by word of mouth.
The Goulettes’ permanent criteria are condition, quality and interest. Otherwise, their taste is highly eclectic. In addition, the Goulettes consult with buyers, offering advice and opinions on matching and provenance. Like many dealers, Karen Goulette’s love of old things has roots in family. She went “fleamarketing” with her grandmother as a child, and her great-grandmother taught her “all about” linens and textiles. Chad makes repairs, reupholsters, repaints or strips, depending on what the buyer wants, he said. “To see someone cherish a piece that you’ve brought back to life” is satisfying, Chad said.
Ernie and Faith Stone opened Elegant Seconds in 2014. It’s a store that appears larger than it is, due to ample natural light and thoughtful displaying of its broad range of items, all in excellent condition. A one-time television repairman, Ernie Stone now mans the shop full-time.
The Stones buy whole estates and do house cleanouts throughout southern Vermont and nearby New York state. Besides quality used furniture and kitchenware, estate and costume jewelry, Depression glass, Americana and lighted advertising signs, the shop offers a full bookcase of movie DVDs and stacks of vintage LPs. Elegant Seconds is one of the few shops of its kind that carry select electronics. The Stones buy game systems, Bluetooth accessories, guitars and amps. Stone is also licensed to buy precious metals and deals in gold and silver. He does not deal in such items as tools, chainsaws, generators.
Formerly located in Wallingford, New Face Vintage specializes in clothing and accessories in all styles and materials from the nostalgic 1940s to 1960s, especially a large collection of hats, shoes, purses, gloves, a few men’s items, some linen. New to Stone House, owner Barbara Kaminski plans to rotate her large inventory depending on the season. For this fall, Kaminski will feature wool, satin, or gabardine winter outfits in rich colors, including holiday suits and furs, holiday suits, long skirts. Going into the winter she will display dressy holiday apparel and slinky lingerie.
Linda Smart Lacombe’s boutique-like shop is hung with window frames that have traded glass for mirrors or that glitter with sea-glass or stained glass. “I take the old and make it look wonderful,” she said. Lacombe also uses her knowledge of architectural style to design interior details for condos, second homes, and gardens.
Lacombe knows her period styles, too. She collects early primitive and country antiques and salvages architectural details from all over New England. Now in its 18th year, the shop is part of a 200-year-old cow barn that was once a working farm. She keeps prices reasonable — “Anybody can come in and find a little something,” she said.
Rutland native Michael Bishop turned his hobby into a business in December 2016, as a “dealer’s dealer” specializing in authentic American antiques from northern New England, but his offerings attract collectors, interior designers and locals as well. He also handles architectural salvage: stamped tin ceiling panels, a banister, doors and windows, wooden trim.
This business is owned by the Knapp family and Barb and her husband Greg Knapp Jr. run the store. The Knapps buy estates, do whole-house cleanouts, buy out auctions or buy direct. They do not accept consignments. The Knapps favor dark wood such as walnut and mahogany and avoid particle-board or pressed board pieces unless they are mid-1950s vintage. The back of the building houses the “picker warehouse,” where customers can rummage through boxes and piles to find anything from old sleds and scythes to school desks, snowshoes, garden tools and sports equipment. Prices are geared to the local market, and the Knapps are willing to negotiate.
Like other area dealers, Barb Knapp cares about the future of the pieces; she wouldn’t sell a fine dark wood hutch to someone who planned to paint it white, or break up a matched bedroom set, she said. “To me it’s about putting the right thing in the right person’s hands at the right time,” she said.
Upscale Resale is a mom-and-pop business, whose owners, Leo and Penny LaRocque, are capping 50 years of a treasure-hunting hobby. Most of the furniture is solid wood, including solid maple and oak, Penny LaRocque said. The store also features Vermont-made furniture that comes in with estate acquisitions, such as Arlington-made Cushman maple, Newport-made glider rockers, Ethan Allen maple, Monkton Sled Company, and Vermont Tubbs.
The LaRocques opened Upscale Resale in November 2015. Both grew up in the area and have “always had a thing” for auctions and estate sales, Leo said. “Every sale you go to is like Christmas. We have something for everybody’s budget,” he said. | 2019-04-23T17:00:59 | http://mountaintimes.info/rutland-antiques-vintage-shops-better-than-ever/ |
I don’t know about anyone else, but I knew that as soon as the break ins started around town that I was going to get an ADT security system. I had been mulling over the fact that I would like to get some kind of system for a while now. It was not because I was worried that I was going to become a crime statistic though. I just liked having that extra layer of security attached to my house. I also liked the fact that it is so much more than just sensors and a keypad now.
There are so many different things that can be added to the home security system now. Temperature control, automating lamps, and much more is now available. In addition to that, I like that it does more than just alert us to any danger from the outside wanting to get inside. Sometimes the danger is coming from within our own walls. Sure, a security system will alert me if someone is trying to break in while I have it turned on, but it is going to alert me of any indoor dangers too.
If there is a fire, it is going to alert the fire department if I am not responsive. It will also check carbon monoxide levels and alert the proper authorities if something is amiss and I cannot be reached. I live close to a stream that floods every now and again, and I can even set this up to alert me if there is rising water in my basement. I have never had that happen before, but I know that it is a real possibility anytime it rains real hard. Getting an ADT security system has been very beneficial to us as a family, and I am thrilled that we have it. | 2019-04-23T05:52:47 | http://kampoeng.us/2018/09/20/adt-protects-more-than-just-exterior-dangers/ |

"Today's vote represents an enormous investment in the future of a healthy and prosperous Los Angeles," said Hilda Solis, a Metro Board Member.
The current fleet operates on compressed natural gas (CNG), seen as the most environmentally-friendly option when the buses were purchased in the 1990s.
A CNG coalition had previously protested the transition, arguing that, while the goals were worthy, electric buses were not yet a reliable technology. | 2019-04-21T06:50:31 | https://www.emirates247.com/news/los-angeles-to-have-fully-electric-bus-fleet-by-2030-2017-07-28-1.656872 |
Yesterday I was watching a video song on youtube and I wanted to play that song again n again in a loop. So every time whenever it comes to end ,I played it again because YouTube videos are programmed to play only once by default. Ya of-course there are some way to play it in loop like add that song in your playlist then play them.But what if you are not logged in there and you wanted to repeat a video over and over again?
So I googled it to find if there some kinda of add-on or extension is available or not.And I found out that none of them actually works well for me , none of them have any straight forward way to implement them.So Just for a experiment I thought to write a chrome extension.So here it is ..
Once you download and install it , open youtube.com .
Now after installing this extension you will find a repeat button just before video count .
So now when ever you want to play some video repeatedly just click on that button.
* This is just for experiment ,might have some issue .Please do let me know if there is some bug.And this plugin/extension will not work in youtube user’s page.
Awesome Dude , Thanks to you Now Youtube is like a real Audio player for us !
cool yar how you made it???
Your posting is ablltuoesy on the point!
Bookmark it, then press it when you’re watching a video. Works like a charm! | 2019-04-20T02:40:27 | http://www.nikesh.me/blog/2011/05/repeat-youtube-video-automatically-in-loop/?replytocom=1019 |
HOW WOULD I LOG IN WHEN A PASSWORD IS FORGOTTEN BY THE USER IN A WINDOW XP OR DO I RELOAD THE WINDOW ...........?
login with the machine administrator account.
Contact the Maker of the system for a workaround here.
Have you ever noticed how about once a week, someone asks how to get into an XP machine, and they're ALWAYS from Nigeria? I'm not being racist or anything, just saying that it's interesting that they're always from the same place and always asking the same stupid question. | 2019-04-23T20:52:44 | https://www.techrepublic.com/forums/discussions/windows-xp-password/ |

What does it mean to set up a scoring guide to assess standards?
If your program is using standard based assessment, then scoring by Standards may be your best choice. If you set up your scoring guide to assess by Standards, then any item associated with a standard will have a link on the evaluation page for that standard. If this philosophy is used exclusively in the creation of a scoring guide, then each unit of the scoring guide would be used to assess a standard (not including a unit for overall score). | 2019-04-18T14:51:16 | http://help.foliotek.com/assessment/admin/assessment-measurements/scoring-guides/what-does-it-mean-to-set-up-a-scoring-guide-to-assess-standards |

When you remember that a Stag was a railway speculator, that Staggs’s Gardens is supposed to be in Camden, the whole scene is a remarkable prefiguring of the bringing of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link into St Pancras and the associated works, such as the transformation of the streets east of King’s Cross into ‘Regent Quarter’ (which is somehow ten times more irritating as a name than ‘Regent’s Quarter’ would have been) and the development of the old goods yards north of King’s Cross.
The developers contend that ‘no one can be nostalgic for the old King’s Cross.’ Well, that depends what you mean by ‘old’. There was so much shilly-shallying over whether King’s Cross or St Pancras should receive the CTRL that the area has been blighted for at least twenty years. (And many locals, incidentally, still wonder why Eurostar is coming into North London at all, given that South London is closer to France, and that the Waterloo terminus seems to be doing perfectly well). Immediately before the blight, the area was, according to Albert Beale of Houseman’s book shop on Caledonian Road, ‘pleasantly seedy’, as opposed to the heart of darkness, which it became.

Pre-blight, there were dark pubs where the beer mat tended to stick to the bottom of the glass, but King’s Cross was full of interesting transients, and with a sooty, crepuscular, train-haunted feel. When coming down from York as a teenager, I would drink in two wonderful old pubs in the south end of York way. The first was the Duke of York. It’s now called ‘Offshore’. Nipping in there the other day, I asked the Antipodean barmaid if she knew what the pub had been called before. A rather cruel experiment, I admit. ‘As far as I know it’s always been called Offshore,’ she said. I wonder if she also thinks it’s always been painted sky blue, and carried the slogan ‘Backpacking the world’ as it does today. This would certainly have made it stand out in 1860.
The second pub was The Railway Tavern, which had a black and white tv as late as about 1995, and was full of railway men, with those distinctive box-like shoulder bags. It is now hidden behind a hoarding, waiting to re-emerge, hung, drawn and Regent Quartered. I suppose it’ll be a Juice Bar.

In Staggs’s Gardens, the nice old Ham and Beef Shop suddenly becomes the Railway Eating House, and the word ‘Railway’ is imposed on everything, even buildings that have as yet only a façade. My fear for King’s Cross tends in the opposite direction. I worry it will lose its railway character. I could be wrong. Most of the old buildings on the Railway Lands are to be preserved. And many of the locations used in the Ladykillers – which was made in 1955 when getting on for forty trains a day were still coming into the goods yard – still survive.

The house of the old lady, Mrs Wilberforce, tended to flit around a bit. Some of the exteriors were done in Goldington Crescent, which is just as elegant as ever. For her rear garden (from where the bodies of the crooks were dumped onto coal trains) a patch of grass on top of Copenhagen Tunnel was used, and if you go along to the end of Vale Royal, off York Way, you can see the very spot. A man keeps horses there. The top of the tunnel is all black, cracked Gothic battlements, and the trains still thunder underneath towards the mass of X’s that form the points leading into King’s Cross.
I do hope this prospect is preserved. If not…well, The Ladykillers is just out on DVD.
