Managing finance is unarguably a very powerful component of any business. If the business you own or are eager about owning is on the small facet, you could need to discover your choices in loans which are particular to that category. LendingTree: LendingTree connects shoppers to lenders that compete for their enterprise.
Before applying for financing, it is advisable to examine both your personal credit score score together with your small business credit score rating to make sure they are what you assume they’re. Enterprise credit score scores are just like private credit scores in that they are designed to assist lenders predict whether you’ll repay your debt.
If you are much less sure, a enterprise line of credit score — which works more like a bank card — is a well-liked option for business owners as it gives you the flexibility to borrow solely what you want whereas leaving accessible credit score open for those who get into a jam and have to float stock or different costs for a few weeks.
Therefore, lenders need to train higher caution and emphasis when evaluating enterprise loan purposes in an effort to decrease their threat exposure. A letter of Credit score is the doc specifically used in Commerce Enterprise as safety papers of monetary transaction.Banks will undergo these papers for declaring your financial relationships along with your clients. | 2019-04-19T00:34:54 | http://www.casualsundayswithmrcurry.com/2019/02 |

Why not make a friend out of a potential enemy by signing a Peace Treaty?
3. that you will try to find peaceful solutions in view of looming conflicts.
Of course signing a treaty is not enough. But it is definitely a start. Then it's sharing experiences, discussing, going out, cooking together, having fun - and getting to know one another better.
Personal Peace Treaties can be printed out from this website.
Personal Peace Treaties can be concluded between two or more single persons and between groups. You can download the treaties here and print them out. Everybody gets a copy which will be signed by all parties. Then it can be put on a wall at home, perhaps even framed. So also your friends and relatives will see the document, and perhaps they too feel motivated to conclude a treaty with somebody.
Until now the treaties exist in 7 language-combinations. More will follow soon.
And bear in mind: the Personal Peace Treaty has no termination clause and is valid for all times, come what may. If you don't want to commit yourself wholeheartedly, you should rather forget it.
And if you are lucky to live nowadays in a conflict-free world region: Help to spread this idea. The more people who sign Personal Peace Treaties the less chance the governments have to choose war!
Don't wait any longer. Do it now. | 2019-04-20T03:17:47 | http://peacetreaties.net/home/index.php |

This provides a brief overview of how Android audio HALs configure the ALSA mixer.
Android devices can have an assortment mixer configurations such as headphones, speakers, or microphones. For a particular device the audio route configurations are defined in mixer_paths.xml. For an example see the mixer path XML for Nexus 5 (hammerhead).
Android audio HALs make use of tinyalsa and audio_route. Tinyalsa is a small standalone library to interface with ALSA in the Linux kernel. Audio HALs call the audio_route library which loads audio routes from an XML and controls the mixer through tinyalsa.
ALSA controls are defined by ctl elements.
Audio routes are defined by path elements. A path element contains a collection of ctl elements as well as other path elements.
The path name attribute is used to select an audio route.
Android kernels use switch_class kernel driver to notify the Android frameworks of headphone jack events. The driver source code can be located at: drivers/switch/switch_class.c or drivers/staging/android/switch/switch_class.c. Note that the switch class driver is an Android specific driver. It has not been upstreamed to the mainline kernel.
In userspace the WiredAccessoryManager monitors the /sys/class/switch/h2w for uevents when the headphone is (un)plugged.
This section is incomplete. It requires a reference to more complete documentation of the device config XML format.
The audio routes in Linux userspace can be defined in ALSA UCM configuration files. There is a tool called xml2ucm which will convert the Android mixer_paths.xml and a device config XML to UCM files. The xml2ucm tool introduces the device config XML which provides necessary routing information that was hardcoded in the audio HAL on Android.
The mixer_path.xml is commonly found in the Android device repository. (e.g. android_device_lge_hammerhead). You must write the device config XML for your device.
A device config XML describes a sound card with use cases and sets of audio routes. In the examples available at the moment there is only one use case named HiFi. Under each <use-case> there are multiple <device> elements. In this context a <device> means audio route(s) which comprise a logical audio device (e.g. Headphone, Headset, Speaker).
Android audio HALs can and do select multiple audio routes at once. For example a headset can have a headphone output route and a microphone input route. To handle this a <device> element (the headset) can contain multiple <path> elements (audio routes). Example device config XML files are provided in the xml2ucm repository.
The ctl-device must be the name of the sound card which can be obtained using aplay. In the following example from the Samsung p4wifi the ctl-device is the sound card named wm8994aif1.
This method may work for non-Android devices as well, as long as you see an audio device in alsamixer. Just boot the normal OS, save the volume settings somehow, then restore them.
For other devices the configuration might need to be adapted. On the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 for example, the audio device is named "Kona_WM1811". Replacing all occurrences in file names and file contents of Midas by Kona worked.

For a central bank, deflation is the starting point which makes inflation the emphasis. So long as there is a “small” amount of positive inflation then economists have suggested deflation, thus depression, becomes impossible. The reason for that belief is twofold, first having to do with the margin for “error”; that is a small positive inflation rate acts as a buffer with which monetary policy can react before any disinflationary impulse or shock gets out of hand.
Primarily, however, the assumptions of orthodox economics are built upon expectations regimes. By targeting a 2% inflation rate and keeping to it, a central bank builds up a long-term “anchor” for private economic agents’ expectations for future inflation conditions. As long as people expect a credible monetary response that central banks will over time smooth out any variations (transitory) it will be difficult if not impossible for deflation to take hold since everyone simply assumes that whatever in the short run 2% is the future. This is critical in mainstream monetary theory, which is why you hear Janet Yellen and Fed officials refer to the “anchor” quite often; it is, in fact, placed in every FOMC statement and minutes for that very reason.
The inclusion of verbiage about the anchor is quite different in the past few years, however, simply because market-based inflation expectations are acting as if there is no longer any anchor attached to the 2% target. This is a shock to economists at least as far as how they talk about it in public, though it shouldn’t be surprising since the Fed hasn’t been close to its target in several years and below it consistently for now more than four. To counteract this growing distrust about Fed efficacy and ability, the FOMC repeatedly references some hidden supply of “professional forecasters” who continue to see no movement in the long run inflation “anchor” no matter how much markets continue to disagree.
In the realm of moving inflation expectations, there was a period between July 2013 and August 2014 where the 10-year TIPS breakeven “yield” did nothing. The 5-year breakevens followed in somewhat similar fashion, though with a small measure of greater vitality if still almost totally sideways. How this thirteen month period in inflation measuring has escaped constant mainstream reference is yet another crime of negligence. Not only did the market for inflation expectations suddenly appear to be dead or at least stumped, this all occurred at perhaps the most pivotal point of this entire “recovery” period.
From the middle of 2013 forward, the Federal Reserve (as ECB and other central banks) judged their primarily 2012 responses as taking hold and thus fostering the relevant predicates for normalization – the recovery at long last was, they believed, coming into actual view. Yet, while that was supposedly happening in their eyes, credit and “dollar” markets were moving in the opposite direction. At the crucial juncture between policy and economy in inflation expectations these competing tendencies met.
Such a static inflation indication I think goes along with these divergences in various segments. On the one side, there is constant reassurance that inflation will pick up at some point, and that the Fed will “normalize” itself to that inflation paradigm. Yet, for all that talk there is the evident problem that inflation is actually going in the “wrong” direction without anything other than assurances that will change. The net result appears as neither position obtains momentum, and the “market” devolves strangely into this static state.
In other words, a tug-of-war in expectations between hardening reality reflected in the bond market (as well as the PCE Deflator) and the lingering mythology of “money printing” had developed and to that point yielded no conclusions. This was already in sharp contrast to behavior in TIPS during prior QE episodes where just the whispers of it, as in late August 2010 in anticipation of Bernanke’s Jackson Hole speech referencing the coming QE2, had elicited a direct response.
Credit markets appear almost confused about the most basic factors of credit and interest rates. Could it possibly be from too much monetary interference through the lack of clarity regarding stance? The FOMC talks about forward guidance as if it were almost a direct line to credit “markets”, but these strange indications show that there is very little consensus anywhere about anything.
Ultimately, of course, the decision was rendered and quite unfavorably – that June when the “dollar” turned. First it was the 5-year breakevens followed not far behind by the longer-term TIPS as it was determined that the bond market, not Bernanke and Yellen, was right all along. The sudden appearance of the “rising dollar” tipped the scales in favor of what should have been obvious, especially when either the CPI or PCE Deflator had been falling in equally obvious fashion since early 2012 in the aftermath of that great eurodollar event.
Long run inflation expectations haven’t been quite so volatile since the start of 2014, however. Their direction seems much more determined, sinking deliberately toward the startling conclusions (to economists, anyway) that, yes, the Great Recession wasn’t ever a recession and that monetary policy won’t fix this one. You can make the further argument, as I would, that the treasury market is repudiating “stimulus” altogether for as long as monetary policy remains within this arrangement, but it is at least a collective agreement that in this specific paradigm there is no more magic; certainly not like 2003.
Though policymakers have denied it for several years since then, even their own kinds of evidence are turning against them. As discussed last week, the theme of late inside central bank circles is reckoning, though to this point it is but inchoate self-reflection.
The evidence they find is all regressions and statistics, but that is how economists think and talk about everything. In other words, on their own terms they are starting to see evidence that markets were right.
We provide evidence of increased sensitivity of longer-term SPF inflation forecasts to shorter-term ones and to current HICP inflation in the post-crisis period. At the same time, less weight has been given to the inflation target in the formation of those expectations.
That was, essentially, what took place between July 2013 and June to August 2014; in the US, as well as Europe, market-based longer-term inflation expectations began to trade in increasing reflection of shorter-term inflation expectations regardless of whatever monetary or central bank chatter to the contrary. As the economy worsened, it only increased the tendency of longer run expectations to the view the shorter run indications as, again, proof that the bond markets were right and conversely central banks all wrong (from top to bottom; theory to execution). In that case, there is no reason to expect a monetary policy target to be achieved, let alone maintained, and thus expectations in the long run can “de-anchor.” Monetary policy is being totally disproven.
Though I doubt economists will find the humor in it, the European paper did manage to also highlight this continuing divide between actual evidence and “forecasters”.
However, our analysis also suggests that the ECB projections, which play a central role in ECB communication strategy, have recently become more important for professional forecasters, as they provide benchmarks for their short- and medium-term inflation expectations.
In short, markets no longer assume any monetary efficacy and the real economy is becoming de-anchored but professional forecasters, whoever they are, continue to reprint whatever numbers the ECB puts out (just like those the Fed constantly references). And these are the people upon which rests the outcome of the global depression? These economists (really statisticians) don’t realize that the issue has been settled since June 2014.
This would be the worst of the worst cases in orthodox monetary terms, unwinding the last of the great buffers against the deflation/depression case. Further, because that would mean the increasingly complete repudiation of monetary credibility, central banks would have to work that much harder to gain it back – raising the possibility of an even greater error than we have seen so far. There is no mystery as to why there has been more and more absurd policy “alternatives” being floated in the mainstream of late in 2016 as opposed to 2015 and really 2014 when this debate actually ended. Economists lost and even their regressions are, belatedly as always, finally starting to address it.
Because of ideology, if something changes in the economy economists will always be the last to know about it. The idea of “money printing” was settled years ago; if 2008 first planted the seeds of doubt, the “rising dollar” harvested them in full. | 2019-04-23T08:49:29 | https://www.alhambrapartners.com/2016/08/30/economists-just-now-finding-evidence-against-money-printing-that-markets-settled-on-years-ago/ |
China's largest search engine Baidu posted strong earnings for the second quarter, driven by growing traffic and increased spending by advertising customers.
Net profits for the quarter ended June 30 were US$252.6 million, an increase of 95 percent from the same quarter last year.
Revenues were $528.4 million, up from 78.4 percent from the same period last year. The company previously forecast revenues reaching $493 million to $504 million.
It expects revenues in the current quarter to range between $611.1 million to $626.6 million, a year-on-year increase of up to 79.5 percent.
Baidu, a Chinese company founded in 2000, has a 76 percent share of Internet search engine revenues in China, according to Beijing-based research firm Analysys International. Google, which closed its China-based search engine last year after years of disputes with the country's Internet censors, is a distant second with a 19 percent share, according to the estimates.
Baidu's online marketing, which drives the company's revenues, saw a boost in the second quarter from advertising paid by China's group buying sites, according to company CEO Robin Li. The country now has more than 4,500 group buying sites, which operate like the U.S.'s Groupon and offer discounts to users.
Baidu has been busy in the past month announcing new partnerships. The company will now start paying three major record companies to offer licensed music downloads.
The company has declined to say how much it will pay the music companies. But on Tuesday, Baidu's chief financial officer Jennifer Li said during an earnings call that the agreements to pay the music companies would not "significantly affect the cost picture" for the search giant.
The company also made a partnership with Microsoft to use its Bing search engine to power the English-language search results on Baidu. Starting last week, Baidu began displaying the Bing search results for English terms.
Baidu has also started offering downloads to a public beta of its new Internet browser. The company hopes to use it to further increase its search traffic, said Baidu CEO Robin Li during Tuesday's earnings call.
Robin Li also said Baidu is working on a "number of mobile phone related services and systems," but declined to offer details. He also reiterated that the company is looking to expand to overseas markets by launching a new platform that will offer multiple languages simultaneously. He declined to offer specifics. | 2019-04-24T20:57:13 | https://www.pcworld.com/article/236551/chinas_baidu_revenues_get_boost_from_advertisers.html |
This pile of heart attack comes from the Elgin Street Diner, a 24-hour diner around the corner from my place, with solid food and consistent fast and friendly service. It’s dangerous to live so close to a place like this….Their four cheese poutine is a wonder. It fills an entire styrofoam take-out container with shoestring fries, smoothered with a rich mushroom based gravy, and four delightful cheeses, including squeaky cheese of course 🙂 It’s also really salty, and reeeeeally bad for you, but every now and then it’s a requirement! | 2019-04-19T17:19:18 | https://theadmirableadmiral.wordpress.com/2011/07/18/elgin-street-diner/ |
men shown in this photo.
The deadliest shipwreck in American history happened just a few miles north of Memphis.
One April 27, 1865, the steamboat Sultana was heading upstream on the Mississippi River. The boat was carrying an estimated 2,400 men, most of them Union prisoners on their way home from Confederate prisoner-of-war camps.
At about 2 am, the boat exploded. An estimated 1,800 people were burned to death, drowned or died of hypothermia--the worst death toll for a martime accident in American history.
What makes the Sultana story especially sad is that it came after so many men had survived both fighting in the war as well as time in a horrible prisoner-of-war camp.
After Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865, the Civil War quickly drew to a close. At the time, there were thousands of prisoners of war (POWs) held on both sides. Under the terms of the surrender agreement, POWs were to be freed and sent home as soon as possible.
In the South, an estimated 5,500 prisoners at the Cahaba POW camp in Alabama and at the Andersonville POW camp in Georgia were sent to Vicksburg, Mississippi. There they waited a few days to be loaded onto boats heading north.
Sultana museum in Marion, Arkansas.
The Union Army commanders ordered these freed prisoners of war on non-military boats that happened to be heading up the Mississippi River at the time. The government offered to pay boat owners $5 per enlisted man and $10 per officer transported.
The first boat that took freed prisoners north from Vicksburg was the Henry Ames, which took about 1,300 men. Then a boat called the Olive Branch headed north with 700 freed prisoners.
What happened next makes little sense. The Sultana pulled into Vicksburg at about the same time as two other boats (the Pauline Caroll and the Lady Gay). After a couple of days, the Sultana left with more than 2,300 prisoners of war (plus an additional number of crew and passengers and a large shipment of sugar bound for Memphis). The other two boats left Vicksburg with no freed prisoners on board, but plenty of room for them.
At the time, many people noticed how overcrowded the Sultana was, and asked about why the other two boats were not given any former prisoners to transport. William Butler, a cotton merchant on board the Pauline Carroll, later said that "on every part of her [the Sultana] the men seemed to be packed in as thick as they could well stand. They were on the hurricane deck, on her wheel-house, forward deck and guard, and a person could go from one part of the boat to another only with much difficulty."
A former prisoner named James Brady, who was on the Sultana, said that he and his fellow troops has been "packed in more like hogs than men."
The Sultana also had an official capacity of less than 400 people--about one-sixth the number of people on board!
To make matters worse, the Sultana had a mechanical problem.
One of the boilers that converted water to steam to drive its engine had developed a leak. A mechanic brought on board in Vicksburg had patched the leak, but he warned the ship's captain (and part owner) J. Cass Mason that it might not hold.
The Sultana pulled out of Vicksburg on April 24, heading north, fighting the swollen current of the Mississippi River. The boat made short stops in Helena, Arkansas, (where it was photographed by T.W. Bankes) and in Memphis, before pulling out late on the evening of April 26.
At 2 a.m. on the 27th, the Sultana's boilers exploded. The explosion threw many passengers and crew into the water, destroyed a large part of the boat and started a fire that quickly destroyed the rest of the boat.
You can read the verbal accounts of some of the survivors in books about the disaster; most of them are too horrible to recount here. Many people burned to death; many drowned; and many froze to death from exposure after jumping into the Mississippi River.
Since few soldiers could swim at the time, most of the people who survived did so because they were able to grab parts of the floating wreckage and hold onto them until they reached shore or were pulled out by a rescuer.
No one is certain of exactly how many people were on the Sultana when it pulled out of Memphis and how many were killed when it exploded.
Memphis attorney Jerry Potter has spent years studying the tragedy, and he is the author of the book The Sultana Tragedy: America's Greatest Military Disaster. He puts the number on board the Sultana at about 2,400, and believes that about 1,800 people were killed.
That number of deaths exceeds by 600 the number killed when the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank in the Atlantic Ocean in 1912--a disaster which is far better known to Americans.
After the disaster, a military inquiry tried to determine the cause of the Sultana explosion as well as why it was so overcrowded. In the last 150 years, several historians have asked the same questions. Many of them have concluded that Mason, the captain and part owner of the Sultana, bribed Union army officers into letting him transport as many freed prisoners as possible so that he would make lots of money from doing so.
"The disaster was caused by greed, corruption, gross stupidity and military officers who just didn't care," says Potter.
Mason was killed in the accident. Captain Frederick Speed, a Union army officer, was found guilty of grossly overcrowding the Sultana. But his verdict was overturned by the army. So in the end, the U.S. Army never punished anyone for the disaster.
Although we do not have exact numbers, we know that most of the Union soldiers killed in the Sultana disaster were from Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Tennessee. (Remember, most people from East Tennessee fought for the Union). Because of this, there are monuments devoted to the Sultana explosion in places as far apart as Mansfield, Ohio; Hillsdale, Michigan; and Knoxville.
However, the saddest memorials can be found in Memphis, and there are hundreds of them.
In the chaotic days and weeks in which dead bodies were found in the Mississippi River, there was no way to identify most of the dead. Therefore, when the Sultana victims were buried in the Memphis National Cemetery, they were buried as unknown soldiers.
And what became of the wreck of the Sultana?
Over the years, the Mississippi River north of Memphis changed course. The place where the Sultana exploded and sank is now in Arkansas.
In 1982, Potter found riverboat parts on and near the surface of the earth on the former location of the river, on the Arkansas side. Using modern technology, he determined that there was a very large object buried about 30 feet below the surface of the earth. However, the land is so close to the Mississippi River that it would be very difficult and expensive to dig there.
"While I'm about 90 percent certain that we found the Sultana, I'm not 100 percent certain," Potter says.
The Sultana exploded just a few miles south of Memphis. Many of the men killed in the explosion were never identified, and are buried as unknown soldiers in the Memphis National Cemetery. | 2019-04-23T05:13:49 | http://www.tnhistoryforkids.org/history/in-search-of/in-search-of/sultana.2477333 |

Are gift baskets sitting patiently on shelves still waiting for buyers? If so, here’s why gift baskets sell slowly in your store.
What’s the first thing customers see when they enter your shop? Perhaps it’s sale merchandise, closeout specials, or a welcome mat.
What’s the last thing they see before approaching the cash register? Accessories and endcap merchandise is usually in this spot.
Where do you place gift baskets?
It takes careful planning and merchandising to add gift baskets throughout a shop. Proper placement includes positioning that complements other merchandise, and it can be more tricky than it seems.
This is why selling these well-made collections can be hit or miss depending on floor space.
Here are three things I’ve learned, through countless years of assisting retailers, about gift basket sales, design, and placement.
Gift baskets are to be set up for quick identification. Keep them out of view, and your program will fail.
If unkempt due to customers’ poking at the wrap, it won’t sell. A messy collection dazzles no one.
Sales associates need training to realize when to recommend it. Well-informed staff is your best line of defense.
Many retail owners and managers who seek my help start the initial process of selling gift baskets as a great idea, and it is great.
The opportunity to sell many items in one collection results in higher sales, which is the goal. What’s not so great is placing the goal onto an untrained employee’s shoulders. Such a person wants to achieve, but without supplies and a blueprint for reaching the goal, the only thing that will occur is lost time, lost revenue, and possibly one less employee due to trauma.
The other side of the slow-selling equation is marketing. New product offerings need revelry and a call to action. Customers want a reason to come to your store to see and buy items that make gift giving easy.
In addition, they’ll need help if what you offer isn’t exactly what they want to buy. This is good news rather than bad because their questions show interest in what you carry. From there, you can offer customizing options that increase sales and referrals, and this new experience will help you position the gift baskets so it’s a go-to item each time customers enter.
Success with gift baskets can be quick or slow, depending on your marketing plan. It can also be costly without a system that includes the right supplies and smart formulas.
I’ve seen lots of waste that occurs when inferior items are purchased.
Trash cans fill quickly with wasted supplies, leading to little or no progress on the sales floor.
Customers and staff are frustrated due to long wait times and slow results for completed designs.
Worst of all, your good reputation can be scarred if this program isn’t done the right way the first time.

L-Glutamine – very well-known and popular as a sports supplement – is the most abundant amino acid in the human blood, and it’s in great demand throughout the body. Glutamine may become conditionally essential in certain situations, including during and after intensive physical training when the body cannot meet its needs by synthesizing Glutamine. This conditionally essential amino acid can be provided by dietary protein intake and by food supplements.
G-BOMB is a multi-component advanced Glutamine matrix that provides different Glutamines and other substances from this “family”. Glutamine via Glutamate is converted to Alpha-Ketoglutarate, an integral component of the Krebs-cycle that is an energy generating cycle in the body. Our formula also directly provides AKG, Alpha-Ketoglutarate!
has a role in the process of cell division.
Dissolve one portion in 300-400 ml of water. Consume one portion 30 minutes before or during training. The use of G-BOMB at other times it can also be beneficial (eg. Before going to bed).
Ingredients: L-Glutamine, maltodextrin, acidity regulator (citric acid anhydrous), sweeteners (Acesulfam K, sucralose), flavor (black tea, lemon), color (caramel, ammonia), anti-caking agent (phosphate, tricalcium), Naringin extracted from fruits of Citrus paradisi (25: 1), calcium alpha-ketoglutarate, L-alanine, L-glutamic acid, L-glutamine micronized, Bioperine® (extract from the fruit of Piper nigrum 50: 1) folic acid.
Bardzo dobra glutamina, smak mrożona herbata jest super.
Gluta topowa.. choć jej największą zaletą jest smak, skąd oraz forma prochu.
Smak pomarańczowy jest idealny, natomiast samo działanie produktu na duży plus - lepsza regeneracja znacznie odczuwalna.
Glutamina ok ale smak Herbaty Mrożonej mega słodki i dziwny mi nie smakuje troche podobny do tych herbatek granulowanych dla dzieci tyle, że gorszy. Co do reszty nie mam zastrzeżeń fajna regeneracja.

power transfer is maximum when r = R which means internal resistance of source equals the load resistance. It is called the maximum power theorem.
Note that we are talking about maximum power and not maximum efficiency. If resistance of the load is greater than the resistance of the source, efficiency is more but overall powr is low.
If internal impedance is made larger than the load the most of the power is dissipated in the source itself, but although the total power dissipated is higher, due to a lower circuit resistance, it turns out that the amount dissipated in the load is reduced.
This can be proved using calculus. I have copied and pasted the proof from wikipedia, url of website is also pasted for further reading. | 2019-04-25T03:49:05 | https://www.topperlearning.com/doubts-solutions/current-electricity-gq0cs955/ |

Signals and Systems: A Primer with MATLAB® provides clear, interesting, and easy-to-understand coverage of continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems. Each chapter opens with a historical profile or career talk, followed by an introduction that states the chapter objectives and links the chapter to the previous ones. All principles are presented in a lucid, logical, step-by-step approach. As much as possible, the authors avoid wordiness and detail overload that could hide concepts and impede understanding. In recognition of the requirements by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) on integrating computer tools, the use of MATLAB® is encouraged in a student-friendly manner. MATLAB is introduced in Appendix B and applied gradually throughout the book. Each illustrative example is immediately followed by a practice problem along with its answer. Students can follow the example step by step to solve the practice problem without flipping pages or looking at the end of the book for answers. These practice problems test students’ comprehension and reinforce key concepts before moving on to the next section. Toward the end of each chapter, the authors discuss some application aspects of the concepts covered in the chapter. The material covered in the chapter is applied to at least one or two practical problems or devices. This helps students see how the concepts are applied to real-life situations. In addition, thoroughly worked examples are given liberally at the end of every section. These examples give students a solid grasp of the solutions as well as the confidence to solve similar problems themselves. Some of the problems are solved in two or three ways to facilitate a deeper understanding and comparison of different approaches. Ten review questions in the form of multiple-choice objective items are provided at the end of each chapter with answers. The review questions are intended to cover the "little tricks" that the examples and end-of-chapter problems may not cover. They serve as a self-test device and help students determine chapter mastery. Each chapter also ends with a summary of key points and formulas. Designed for a three-hour semester course on signals and systems, Signals and Systems: A Primer with MATLAB® is intended as a textbook for junior-level undergraduate students in electrical and computer engineering. The prerequisites for a course based on this book are knowledge of standard mathematics (including calculus and differential equations) and electric circuit analysis.
Practical Matlab Applications for Engineers provides a tutorial for those with a basic understanding of Matlab®. It can be used to follow Misza Kalechman’s, Practical Matlab Basics for Engineers (cat no. 47744). This volume explores the concepts and Matlab tools used in the solution of advanced course work for engineering and technology students. It covers the material encountered in the typical engineering and technology programs at most colleges. It illustrates the direct connection between theory and real applications. Each chapter reviews basic concepts and then explores those concepts with a number of worked out examples. | 2019-04-19T16:57:55 | http://booksiread.org/pdf/fundamentals-of-signals-and-systems-using-the-web-and-matlab-3rd-edition/ |

Below are the highlights from a couple of the games we played in the months of April and May 2016.
It was tough grind for us through the end of the season. It culminated in us losing a tough and competitive game to Alba Berlin in overtime (in Berlin also).
Had we won that game we would have been in the playoffs. It's crazy to think that we were just 1 point away from a playoff birth. We lost to Wurzburg at Wurzburg on a buzzer beater by 3, and that was just the second game of the season. We beat Wurzburg at home by 2 at home. That one point difference was what kept us out of the playoffs. Moral of that story is that every game counts people. Try to win everyone and don't expect to make up for it on the back end.
As always, watch and enjoy, comment and critique. | 2019-04-23T00:25:48 | https://www.magnificentsu.com/blog/archives/07-2016 |

Motorcycle insurance costs are an important consideration for any bike buyer. That's why MCN is highlighting some of the best cheap-to-insure motorcycles out there. This time it's the Harley-Davidson XR1200X.
The engine is the same at the standard XR1200, but the X-model has vastly improved, multi-adjustable suspension that makes a difference when riding 187kg of American muscle on our roads. It also comes in a menacing black paint scheme with black exhausts. Plus it's only group 11 to insure.
The addition of Showa pig piston forks and piggyback shocks puts the accomplished XR1200 onto another rung of the handling ladder. There’s a lot more feedback from front and rear wheels and the front end feels considerably more settled on the brakes. At the same time it is supple enough to rubbish the Queen’s crumbling highways.
It may be the 'performance' Harley, but just remember H-D's idea of sports bike performance is nothing like a 600-1000cc sports machine produced in the past 20 years. Instead simply enjoy the slow revving nature of the bike with an improved and polished ride quality.
Thinking of buying an Harley XR1200X? Get motorcycle insurance quotes from lots of providers in one place with MCN Compare. | 2019-04-19T22:16:30 | https://www.motorcyclenews.com/insurance/2010/september/sep1610-motorcycle-insurance-bargains-harley-xr1200x/ |
It can be tough to coordinate colors for an open floor plan. Choose wisely!
My entry, living room, dining room and kitchen all connect and are the center of my house. I have painted all areas a buttery yellow w/ white trim and ceilings. My floors in the entry, dining and kitchen are porcelain tile in differing tones of beige that have a similar look of marble. My kitchen cabinets are all pickled oak and my countertops and backsplash are tile with varying shades of browns that resemble natural stone. My question is 2-fold. I don’t believe the yellow walls in the kitchen go well with the pickled oak cabinets. I would like to paint the walls to compliment the colors in my countertops / backsplash. Do you think a shade of brown would be the way to go? I think it would go well with the countertops, floors and cabinets. But, I do not know how to transition the color where the kitchen wall meets the living room wall. My living room floor is a beautiful medium brown hardwood. Also, I just bought a center kitchen island table that is bare wood with a butcher-block top and two open slat shelves. I think I should paint the base of the island the same brown that I will paint the walls, which would bring in more color to my kitchen. What do you think? Thank you for your assistance.
It would be difficult to suggest color transitions without actually viewing the layout of your home. Generally, based on your email, it seems that more taupe or beige would go nicely with the tiles and cabinets. If you choose to keep the yellow in the other rooms, you may want to paint the island a shade of yellow instead of the beige. This could help to tie the area together and add warmth to the kitchen. Please contact us for additional information or for a free consultation. Thank you! | 2019-04-20T18:24:30 | https://www.tuckey.com/blog/interior-design-transition-colors-coordinate-home/ |

One of the biggest reasons Leading Edge Trading, a trading guidance membership site, wanted to overhaul their website was to better showcase their free two week trial, which was completely buried on their old site. Speaking of their old site, it lacked clear marketing messages, sales funnels and had a poor user-experience for members.
The new site prominently promotes their two week trial, as well as their other membership and training options. User-experience has been dramatically improved with a new membership area, which includes resources for members, including diagrams and tutorial videos. | 2019-04-24T04:10:25 | https://www.primeconcepts.com/portfolio/leading-edge-trading/ |
My niece had expressed an interest in going to the beach with the dogs, so we both drove down to the south end of Carlin park, where they allow dogs, and ran around for a bit. The wind was quite blustery, and the waves had a pretty good rip tide going, so we didn’t get into the water much. Hung out about an hour before we headed out, with her coming home and Hubby and I stopping at the Post Office to drop off some letters, and Walmart to do some shopping before heading back to the ranch.
Well, today will be the test for Hubby's new acupuncture treatment. He has his second appointment this afternoon, so we decided to take a two-hour ride this morning beforehand, to see how he holds out. Two hours is about the max he can do these days without his back really starting to bother him, and that's if we don't do too much jogging. Well, we headed out the driveway and up the road to the first canal, then turned east to the next canal, then north. Previously, to get to the Hungryland WMA across the canal, you had to ride down and up a steep incline, usually through a few inches of water, but my brother had told me they had put in a bridge. I was expecting an actual bridge, but instead, they had put in a metal culvert and completely filled it in, making an actual road with a gate across it, with a horse pass next to it. Wonderful! We decided to ride into the WMA to a pavilion that's about ¾ of a mile into the area, took a short break, then came back out again. On the way back, we carried on along the canal all the way to Indiantown Road before making our way around the neighborhood back to the house, finishing at just the two hour length we wanted. Hubby said he was just starting to get a twinge in his back, but nothing like the way it used to be, so progress is made! Afterward, we headed back to the doctor's office for another treatment, which helped even more, before settling down for the evening.
For the last few years, when Hubby’s lower back gets to bothering him too much, he’s been getting those cortisone steroid shots, but because his kidney function has been naturally deteriorating with age, we decided this time to try acupuncture. It worked so beautifully for our little dog Billy, and we’ve heard so many stories about how successful it is on other animals and humans, we decided to give it a try on Hubby in preparation for the daily riding we’ll be doing on the 2016 Great Florida Cattle Drive next month. After a lengthy interview, the doctor stuck him like a pincushion, then afterward gave him some homeopathic shots in his back, and by the time she was finished, he walked out of there a different guy! He was standing up straighter, which made him look younger, and he felt great! We have high hopes that a few weeks of this treatment will make him a new man!
Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2015 – Too Hot to Ride!
Though we had planned to take a ride today, frankly, it was just too darn hot! There’s a heat wave going on throughout most of the country, with record highs as far north as New York, so here in Florida it’s in the mid-80’s with high humidity, so not the kind of weather we like to ride in. Of course, we’re here with family, so that’s taking up a lot of time as well, and since we’ll be here a while, we’ll have plenty of time to ride once the weather inevitably breaks. Spent the day working on the book, with an eye toward having it ready by end of the year, and getting it published in time for the 2016 Great Florida Cattle Drive at the end of January!
Over the years, we’ve had a number of occasions where there was a place we wanted to go to horse camp, but water was not readily available. Though we’ve usually been able to solve the problem one way or another, (sump pump water from a nearby stream, bring water in a barrel, collect rain water, etc.), we wanted a more permanent solution, so we purchased a 95 gallon “sprayer” tank from an outlet in Orlando. We had to order it in advance in order to save the $200 shipping cost, but having picked it up on our way out of Ocala, today was the day to install it. Though we could have bought an expensive stand for it, we opted to go the more imaginative route and make a framework ourselves. After a short trip to the Home Depot for supplies, we spent the day putting together what turned out to be a very satisfactory stand that will hopefully be immovable, and will allow us to explore even more new and wild horse camps! Can’t wait to try it out, but it will be several months before we’re on the road again, though we still have a few adventures in store before we leave here!
Busy day! Packed up, stopped at dump on the way out, made many stops in Okeechobee to shop for a variety of things, checked out some hay, none to my liking so that may be problematic when we need some, then finally headed out to Jupiter, arriving around 3:00. We scoped out the yard and found the best spot to park, with our back end facing the pool and our entrance door facing the paddock where the horses will be staying when they’re not wandering around the 5 acres of property.
Once again, spent most of my time working of my Horse Camp book, debated with Hubby a few times about whether he wanted to try to move to another campsite that had opened up, or to just head down to my brother’s in Jupiter tomorrow. Eventually we concluded that moving on would be the best thing to do, even if we had to park in a different spot than usual in order to stay out of the lake that was sitting in his yard. Did a little packing, but it’s a short trip tomorrow (with many stops), so we didn’t worry too much about.
Though the trail map indicates a good choice of loops, they are almost all at least 10 miles long, but Hubby said he was up for that, so I planned out a route that would take us west on the main road (no motor vehicles) until we met up with a left turn that would take us to a primitive camping area, then pick up the Grasshopper Sparrow Trail west, then loop back around on the main road. We headed out walking and jogging on the straight as an arrow road until we reached our turn, only running across a few patches of standing water on the road. That changed a bit after the turn, the water became deeper and more often. By the time we went through the camping area, the water was everywhere. We changed our plan, deciding to take a shorter loop south on the Ozmore Trail to the Boundary Trail, then back north on the Kilpatrick Prairie Trail. Problem was, the water was between ankle and knee deep on the horses almost all the way, and after about ¾ of a mile, we agreed that it was likely not to improve, and that no one was having much fun (except Lola, who was right in her element, leaping and jumping around the sawgrass), so we turned back and retraced our route back to the campground, getting a few canters in once we got back on the high ground of the main road. No doubt, if it were drier here, the trails would be fantastic, albeit kind of boring with all the flatness, but they've had so much rain here in the past few weeks, it's just too wet. We got back to camp, got the horses away, and settled down for the evening, as usual.
Spent most of the day working on the Horse Camping book, while Hubby read and relaxed today. | 2019-04-20T04:36:36 | http://equicamping.com/2015/12/ |
I'll start off by mentioning another new lineup look for the Rockies.
EY Jr.s starts in LF and leads off. Fowler in CF. Carlos Gonzalez moves up to third and plays RF. That gives the Rockies an abundance of speed at the top of the order. Tulowitzki stays in his spot.
Todd Helton drops to fifth. Interesting idea I suppose. He's not hitting for power, which isn't unusual for him these days, but he's still maintained his ability to get on base throughout his career. Maybe this will kickstart him, I'm not sure, I guess I was just liking the dynamic of CarGo providing Tulo with protection and giving the middle of the a little speed boost.
I mean they did score 23 runs in two games with that lineup, so I'm not sure I understand the need for a big change tonight. Guess we'll see how it works out.
Olivo, Mora (starts for Stewart), Barmes and Cook round out the lineup card.
The Rockies open a three game series in San Francisco tonight. In case you haven't heard, the Giants have the best pitching in baseball.
So basically the Rockies are going to have to pitch the baseball with great success themselves if they plan on leaving the bay area with a victory or two.
And it starts right off with a bad matchup for the offense. Barry Zito was murder on them in all four starst last season (2-0, 0.95). That's pretty ridiculous.
Speaking of ridiculous... Zito is 3-0 this season with a 1.32 ERA.
I have ranked the struggling Rockies in order of my confidence in them to turn it around.
Giambi is #1 because his main role on the team is to hit. Eventually he will, because that's what professioanl hitters do.
I read a couple things going off on Morales after Wednesday's game and I just sorta scratched my head. He was hardly the problem in that game. In fact, if you look at how things have played out, Morales could be 5-for-5 in save chances if not for a Tulowitzki error and then an umpire error in Atlanta. So he's not KILLING the team like you might think he is.
The game has been postponed due to cold, crappy, Colorado April weather.
There will be a doubleheader with the Marlins beginning tomorrow at 3:10 local time in Denver.
Per Joe Capozzi -- The Marlins will go with Ricky Nolasco in Game 1 and Nate Robertson in Game 2. I assume the Rockies will counter with Greg Smith and Aaron Cook in their current order.
Everyone stay warm and dry and find something fun to do with their Friday evening.
Me? I'm going to bed early and fueling up for a doubleheader.
Tonight's pitching matchup has the potential for very ugly results.
I say that not because I don't believe in Greg Smith -- because you all know I do if you've been reading since Spring Training -- it's just a very difficult matchup for a lefty with his type of stuff. Extremely difficult.
The Marlins lineup will be loaded with potent and powerful right-handed bats -- Hanley Ramirez, Jorge Cantu, Dan Uggla, Cody Ross, Cameron Maybin, Ronny Paulino -- that are capable of putting up runs in a hurrry.
Here I was all prepared for a 6:05 CT first pitch only to discover the Braves are doing the 35 after first pitch. I'd like to say that's annoying but I can only imagine how annoyed fans are by the Rockies 40 after first pitch time. Of course nothing tops the White Sox 7:11 start times.
Now I have to find something productive to do with my next 30 minutes... like laundry, or exercise.
Oh, and there is some good news on the injury/flu front. Brad Hawpe and Todd Helton are both in the lineup in their customary spots. Carlos Gonzalez is available for pinch-hit duty and could start a game in this series. All very positive things. Now hopefully yesterday's debacle served as a wake-up call and we see a whole different team out there tonight.
Update: My only productive activity in the last half hour was getting the mail. Now it's time for baseball in Atlanta!
I don't know what's going on with the Rockies pitchers and their sore shoulders and armpits. I mean seriously... a sore armpit? Late April Fools joke? Did he sleep wrong? Allergic reaction to deoderant? You have to admit Francis looks like the kid at your high school that was allergic to everything.
I do know I feel awful for Jeff. He traveled a long, long road of rehab and recovery to get this close to that next MLB start that seemed like it was never coming. I'm fairly certain this won't prove to be anything too serious, but you have to figure a little doubt creeps into the back of his mind when this pops up now of all times.
Okay, so being down two pitchers (in addition to Buchholz) before you even play game #1 of 162 isn't what you're hoping for. However, I do believe this latest thing to Francis gives the Rockies their best possible starting rotation on Opening Day. Maybe not in the correct order -- thanks to Tracy oddly naming Francis #2 -- but definitely the right five guys. | 2019-04-22T16:49:07 | http://heavenandhelton.blogspot.com/2010/04/ |

You will be guaranteed that the company has the expertise needed for proper land planning. Moreover, follow up with those who hired the company to know the satisfaction they got hence deciding if the company will satisfy your needs.

It is easy to ask from local clients about how they perceive various land planners hence choosing the most reputed and this is crucial in getting great deals. It is possible for you to interview companies within your locality one-on-one in order to pick the one with the highest qualification. A company that is situated near you knows land restrictions for lands in that area and will give a valid advice on proper use of land. Besides, any case of misconduct can be followed up easily.
In addition, select a land planner that has the right documents. You may not know about the qualifications of a company in land planning issue but documents will reveal a lot. You should check the documents of staffs to be sure of their expertise in land planning. In addition, ensure the company complies with the law to make the task of filing cases easy in case a company deals falsely with you. Also, the land planner ought to have a proper insurance to cover you of liabilities you may get due to poor land planning.
In conclusion, choose a land planning company with affiliations. Before committing yourself to a land planning company, make sure you check if it is concerned about the quality of its services. Therefore, make sure that companies on your mind have affiliations with esteemed associations. Such associations set standards below which members should not operate. They also give rewards to land planning companies that emerge the best with the aim of urging others to aim higher. You should know if the land planning company you are hiring has ever received accreditation.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Jon Cooper walked into the locker room and didn't get the sense Lightning players were down in the dumps about losing the first two games of the Eastern Conference final.
"It was more kind of like an anger of like we want to get back -- like let's get Game 3 going here," Tampa Bay's coach said.
Of the 41 previous times a team lost the first two games in the conference finals, 39 went on to lose the series -- including every team that lost its first two at home.
"For us, it's all about resetting everything," defenseman Victor Hedman said Monday. "There's no panic. We're obviously not happy with losing two games on home ice, but that is not something that goes into our locker room.
"We've got the experience. We've got the guys that are in the playoffs for the first time, guys have been through this, and we're capable of handling that."
"If you just look where you stand in the series, I feel like it's a big mountain to climb," said former Lightning captain Martin St. Louis, who was on that team. "They got to focus on just winning the next game. And I truly believe if they do that, it's going to be a long series."
Asked what the Lightning needed to do better, three-time Cup-winning defenseman Ken Daneyko responded, "Where do we begin?"
"They were so responsible defensively, making good puck decisions and through the first two rounds they didn't give up a whole lot," said Daneyko, now an NHL Network analyst.
"Just mental breakdowns, mental mistakes by Tampa Bay. You never know why it turns so drastically like that when they were so sound against the Bruins. That can't happen."
For the Lightning to win one or two games, they'll need to get better production out of captain Steven Stamkos and winger Nikita Kucherov and better play out of goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy, who hasn't been at his best.
"He's going to have to be great," said Keith Jones, a former NHL forward and current NBC Sports analyst. "He's being challenged to look through traffic and stay up. ... Vasilevskiy's going to have to play unbelievably well unless the Capitals take a step back."
NOTES: Capitals coach Barry Trotz said C Nicklas Backstrom, who has missed three consecutive games with a right hand injury, remains day-to-day. ... Washington D Michal Kempny was fined $2,419 -- the maximum allowed under the collective bargaining agreement -- for cross-checking Lightning F Cedric Paquette during Game 2. | 2019-04-25T15:47:09 | https://www.abcactionnews.com/lifestyle/taste-and-see/lightning-playoffs/tampa-bay-lightning-desperate-to-fix-problems-down-0-2-in-series-to-washington-capitals |

It's finally time for the big list of the best puzzle games of 2013.
I don't update this blog daily, so I "only" reviewed about 60 games this year. Among them, I tried to pick just ten which I enjoyed playing the most. I had to leave some out; that's the nature of these things.
This is a very subjective list, so your mileage will vary. Let's get started.
Well, 2013 is coming to an end so it's time to put together the customary end of year lists. But before reaching the usual "best of" list, I thought it would be interesting to look at things from a different perspective.
Today I'm focusing on ideas. This is a list of games which are based on very good ideas, but didn't turn out to be excellent games. They left a sour taste in my mouth because the potential is there, and with some more they could improve significantly.
Let me be clear: I'm not putting together this list to belittle these games; on the contrary, I'm doing it because I think they are worthy, and I hope that their developers will put some extra effort into them.
Sifar by Takahiro Sakuda is a game in the tradition of Japanese logic puzzles.
Interestingly, it would have worked as a pen and paper puzzle, and the rules are simple enough that I wondered if it had been published before, but couldn't find any prior art.
An exchange of comments in the Willa's Walk review prompted me to talk more in depth about solution uniqueness in logic puzzles, and its possible use as a shortcut while solving the puzzles.
First of all, one question which I'm often asked is: why should logic puzzles have a unique solution?
The easy answer is: why not? When you solve a crosswords puzzle, you take it for granted that there is only one valid solution. So why should logic puzzles be any different?
The more articulated answer is: because logic puzzles are puzzles that should be solvable by logic, and logic alone; no guessing should be necessary.
Solving a logic puzzle should consist of a series of logic deductions which allow you to exclude possibilities, until you are left with only one option. If the puzzle didn't have a unique solution, you would inevitably get to a point where you have two equally valid options, and you cannot choose between them, because they both lead to a different solution.
Once it is determined that a puzzle has a single solution, a question comes to mind: can one use this knowledge to make deductions and find the solution more easily?
MindTilt by MadRuse Games is a 3D puzzle game that I really wanted to like. I came back to it several times with the best intentions, but eventually I gave up.
MindTilt is a tilt maze, by which I mean that everything which isn't nailed down moves in the same direction until it hits a wall or something else. I've played a few others in the past (the best is probably still Blockhouse), but this is the first time I see one in full 3D.
My new game, Zen Garden Puzzle, is now available on the App Store!
You've probably already seen the video, so let's talk in more detail about the mechanics.
It took me a while to fully grasp the rules of Atoms Puzzle by Wharf Games.
It's not that they are difficult, but to play knowledgeably it's essential to have an exact understanding of the value of each piece on the board. The game however avoids showing clear numbers, relying only on the size of the pieces.
In a normal day, there can easily be a hundred new apps released in the Puzzles category. It's impossible to even check the description of them all, but I try to be as thorough as possible because often the best games come out of nowhere.
Tricky Circles by Dmitry Chalovskiy is one of such games.
After seeing the icon, I feared that it was just another clone of the boring Dots, but thankfully it's something completely different.
In my review of Cross Blocks I said that to find the solution to the puzzles "some amount of trial and error is probably needed". I have to take that back somewhat, because after finding the right strategy I've become quite good at solving the puzzles on the first attempt.
This is a really good logic puzzle, so I'd like to share my findings.
SPOILER ALERT: don't read past this line if you want to find the strategies yourself.
Zen Garden Puzzle has been approved by Apple and will be available on the App Store from December 12th!
To whet your appetite, I have prepared a first video to show the game mechanics and interface.
Cross Blocks is such a brilliant logic puzzle that I wondered if it had been copied from somewhere else. The developer, Adrenaline Punch Games, had only released word/trivia games before, so a pure logic puzzle like this one is a major shift in focus.
Probably some inspiration for the user interface came from SEQ, but that's all. The mechanics are radically different, and appear to be completely original.
I had high hopes in Move: A Brain Shifting Game by the Israelian Nitako.
Initially, the game seemed very fun and addictive. I played through the first 40 puzzles without even realising it. As I moved through the puzzles, however, I felt something was wrong. | 2019-04-21T16:09:34 | http://nontrivialgames.blogspot.com/2013/12/ |
Saskia Lewis made history for Wakefield Trinity Ladies on Sunday. PIC: Mike Robey Photography.
Saskia Lewis made history on Sunday as she became the first player to score for Wakefield Trinity Ladies in Women's Super League.
Wakefield were beaten 58-4 by last year's league leaders Leeds Rhinos in their first-ever top-flight game on Sunday afternoon.
Lewis crossed for Trinity's only try of the game in the first half as Leeds led 34-4 at the break.
The Challenge Cup holders built on their lead in the second half but head coach Wayne Hirst felt there were plenty of positives for his side.
"It was a frustrating game but one we needed to get out of the way," said Hirst.
"Leeds are a good side and a lot of the stuff we did today was really good. But there are just little things we need to learn.
Wakefield Trinity Ladies' Lisa Taylor. PIC: Mike Robey Photography.
"It was always going to be tough. We have a lot to learn.
"First 20 to 25 minutes we seemed to be a bit like a rabbit in the headlights and we really let them come at us.
"But then we got a score and settled down and competed a hell of a lot.
"We did some really good stuff but there are little things that we need to be smarter at, but we will learn from it."
Maddison Hirst was one of seven players making their competitive debuts for Trinity. PIC: Mike Robey Photography.
Trinity fielded a new-look side for the league opener with Caitlin Clifton, Chloe Billington, Emma Ryan, Erica Zanre, Hannah Dickinson, Maddison Hirst and Kirsty Musgrave all making their competitive debuts.
Hirst, aged just 16-years-old, made the step up from under-16 rugby to open age and fronted up well against the Rhinos pack.
Trinity travel to York City Knights next weekend and head coach Hirst feels his side have good chance to get their first win.
York were hammered 80-0 by Castleford Tigers in their opening league fixture yesterday afternoon.
Hirst added: "York will be on a similar par to us and it is one we are going to target.
"We know what we did well [against Leeds] and the things we need to change for this coming week.
"We will train hard and go into next week confident that we can put in a better performance." | 2019-04-19T00:35:49 | https://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/sport/rugby/wakefield-trinity/watch-saskia-lewis-scores-wakefield-trinity-ladies-first-try-in-women-s-super-league-1-9698937 |

Dixie High School – Bud Mahas Construction, Inc.
The new Dixie High School, located in St. George, Utah, replaces most of the old high school campus. The project was developed in three major construction phases that allowed for the continuation of school activity on site. A new performing arts center, new three story classroom wing and renovation of the existing main gymnasium completed the campus. Tilt-up concrete and beautiful red-earth masonry combine in a concert of texture and color for this new facility. All interior spaces are flooded with natural light, enhancing the educational experience within. | 2019-04-21T04:22:52 | http://www.budmahas.com/2015/03/18/dixie-high-school/ |
Rick Wagner, president of ManTech International’s mission, cyber and intelligence solutions group, has said the company will leverage its cyber forensic and insider threat capabilities to support the mission of the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command and the 902nd military intelligence group through a potential $133 million contract.
“INSCOM, like many government partners, faces an ever-evolving threat environment as far as counterterrorism and counterintelligence,” Wagner told Signal magazine in an interview published Tuesday.
“They have unique requirements, in that the threat is immediate to U.S. forces, and they need access to the best intelligence capabilities to succeed in protecting U.S. forces,” he added.
The contract calls for the company to field personnel to provide intelligence, technology protection, computer science and analytics support to INSCOM and the command’s 902nd.
Wagner, a 2018 Wash100 recipient, noted the company will also provide logistics, training and linguistic support services to the command. | 2019-04-20T21:11:22 | https://blog.executivebiz.com/2018/03/rick-wagner-mantech-to-back-army-inscom-through-insider-threat-forensic-capabilities/ |

So in this post I showed you a technique for updating the owner on all your SQL Agent jobs.
Whilst this isn’t a major change, you do need to have checked that the new ownership account has the correct permissions or some thing (eg; EXECUTE AS or CMDEXEC steps). With this in mind someone asked me how I’d back this out. Either for all jobs or that one specific MUST NOT FAIL job that is failing.
So we’ve created a nice csv list of the original owners of our jobs, great. Now how do we use those to roll back?
In both cases we read in our CSV, convert it from CSV into a PowerShell Object. For a single job we use Where-Object to filter down to that one job, you could also use like if you wanted to pattern match. The remain records then get piped through a ForEach-Object loop, where we use Set-DbaAgentJob to reset the jobs owner.
Hope those examples are helpful. If you’ve stumbled across this page and it doesn’t quite fix your problem, please drop a comment and I’ll try to lend a hand.
About 6 years ago I needed to implement some SQL Server restore testing to keep our corporate auditors happy. I ran around with T-Sql for a while, but trying to find a solution that worked with all of our systems was a nightmare. So I dug out the PowerShell documentation and started reading up on SMO (that page looks a lot nicer than it did back in 2013). Soon I had a working piece of code, that with enough baling twine and candle wax could do what we wanted.
By now I’d got lots of code examples, so decided to turn them into 31 days worth of blog posts – 31 Days of SQL Server Backup and Restores with PowerShell to help others work out where to go and save them running into the same loops and holes I’d done. Also wrote a presentation and took it around the UK to Usergroups, SQL Saturdays and conferences.
Roll on forward to 2016 and I start to update my scripts to get them a little more up to date. In the process I decided to transform them from a ragtag collection of scripts into a shiny PowerShell model, and so SqlAutoRestores came into being. The code in github is very much a work in progress. The basics worked but a lot of supporting stuff to cope with other people’s infrastructure was still needed.
It’s probably my most used single piece of code, and not just because it’s running 24/7/365 testing! The muscle memory is now so ingrained that I can beat almost any other restore option to start.
The point of that story is what this T-SQL Tuesday is about, if you shout about some nifty code, or at least let someone know, there’s a good chance other people will want to use it or help you develop it. It won’t happen overnight, this story is about 5.5 years old and there’s still debates about where this code is going to go in the future. And it’s been great to see where this tiny project has eventually lead me with my career and community involvement over the years.
Then we add a new property to our Input Object. Doing it this way we add it to every ‘row’ in the object at once. If you want to add multiple new properties just keep doing this for each one.
Convert our InputObject into a datatable, which is the format Write-DbaDataTable needs for input.
And then the command that does the loading, Write-DbaDataTable. There are only things here that you have to do differently for loading to an Azure SQL database as opposed to a normal SQL Server instance. For Azure SQL Databases you have to use a SQL Credential as the underlying dlls don’t work (yet) with the various Integrate Authentication options. You need to use the RegularUser switch. Normally dbatools will assume you have sysadmin rights on your SQL Server instance as they are needed for many of the tasks. In an Azure SQL Database you can’t have those rights as they don’t exists, so without Regular user you’ll get a nice error message. Just something to look out for, I’ve tripped myself up in the past when repointing load scripts.
Then we drop InputObject and go round the loop again until we’re finished.
Easy and very quick, and now I can just point PowerBI at it and let the users and analysts work out what they want to do with it.
As part of the Restore-DbaDatabase stack rewrite, I wanted to do make things easier for users to be able to get their hands dirty within the Restore stack. Not necessarily needing to dive into the core code and the world of Github Pull Requests, but by manipulating the data flowing through the pipeline using standard PowerShell techniques All the while being able to do the heavy listing with out code. | 2019-04-18T17:19:27 | https://stuart-moore.com/category/dbatools/ |

I'm a sucker for local food. I just figure, if it's grown in soil close to home, it's kinda like eating home itself. Which is what ecosystems do. As Barbara Kingsolver put it, "the forest eats itself, and lives forever".

Their best-known work is the film Der Lauf der Dinge (The Way Things Go, 1987), described by The Guardian as being “post apocalyptic”, as it concerned chain reactions and the ways in which objects flew, crashed and exploded across the studio in which it was shot. Fischli lives and works in Zurich; Weiss died on 27 April 2012.
Peter Fischli (born 8 June 1952) and David Weiss (21 June 1946 – 27 April 2012), often shortened to Fischli/Weiss, were an artist duo that had been collaborating since 1979. They were among the most renowned contemporary artists of Switzerland.
Their best-known work is the film Der Lauf der Dinge (The Way Things Go, 1987), described by The Guardian as being « post apocalyptic », as it concerned chain reactions and the ways in which objects flew, crashed and exploded across the studio in which it was shot. Fischli lives and works in Zurich; Weiss died on 27 April 2012.
David Weiss (21 June 1946 – 27 April 2012) grew up as the son of a parish priest and a teacher. After discovering a passion for jazz at the age of 16, he enrolled in a foundation course at the Kunstgewerbeschule, Zurich, where in his first year of study he befriended fellow artist Urs Lüthi.
Having rejected careers as a decorator, a graphic designer and a photographer, Weiss soon came to view a career as an artist as a realistic prospect. He studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule, Zurich (1963–4), and the Kunstgewerbeschule, Basel (1964–5); he subsequently worked as sculptor with Alfred Gruder (Basel) and Jaqueline Stieger (England). In 1967, he worked at the Expo 67 in Montreal, before travelling to New York, where he got to know the important minimalist art of the time. Between 1970 and 1979 he published books in collaboration with Lüthi. For most of 1975-78, he spent a great deal of time drawing in black ink, and had exhibitions at galleries in Zürich, Amsterdam, Cologne, and Rotterdam.
Art critics often see parallels to Marcel Duchamp, Dieter Roth or Jean Tinguely in Fischli and Weiss’ parody bearing work.
Wurstserie (1979) was Fischli and Weiss’ first collaborative project, setting the tone for their future work. In the series, ordinary sausages and slices of sausages became the protagonists of scenarios, alluding to situations such as cars in a traffic accident in an urban setting, layers of carpets and other situations. By the end of the 1980s, the duo had expanded their repertoire to embrace an iconography of the incidental, creating deadpan photographs of kitsch tourist attractions and airports around the world. For their contribution to the 1995 Venice Biennale, at which they represented Switzerland, Fischli & Weiss exhibited 96 hours of video on 12 monitors that documented what they called « concentrated daydreaming »—real-time glimpses into daily life in Zurich: a mountain sunrise, a restaurant chef in his kitchen, sanitation workers, a bicycle race, and so on. For the Skulptur Projekte Münster (1997), Fischli and Weiss planted a flower and vegetable garden conceived with an ecological point of view and documented its periodic growth through photographs. | 2019-04-23T06:06:08 | http://lagaleriemontaigne.com/pete-r-fis-chli/ |

Three parts of the St. La Salle Hall glowed in blue, white, and red.
“France is the birthplace of our Founder St. John Baptist de La Salle, and the Notre-Dame Cathedral was a place of refuge for him,” the University’s caption wrote.
The post has garnered 2,800 reactions and 827 shares as of this writing.
The fire, which sent the cathedral’s towering spire and its roof crashing down was declared under control early Tuesday. | 2019-04-24T01:24:35 | https://news.mb.com.ph/2019/04/17/dlsu-sports-colors-of-france/ |
Stephen S. Campanelli has spent the past three decades carving out an amazing career as a cameraman on some of Hollywood’s biggest films. Most notably, he has served as along-time camera operator for film icon and legendary director, Clint Eastwood, which is certainly an amazing place to cut your teeth. In 2015, Campanelli has made the transition to the director’s chair for his feature film debut. The result is “Momentum” — a fun, fast-moving action-thriller starring Olga Kurylenko and James Purefoy. The story focuses on Alex (Olga Kurylenko), an infiltration expert with a secret past. She accidentally reveals her identity during what should have been a routine heist, quickly finding herself mixed up in a government conspiracy and entangled in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with a master assassin (James Purefoy) and his team of killers. Armed with her own set of lethal skills, Alex looks to exact revenge for her murdered friends while uncovering the truth. Jason Price of Icon Vs. Icon recently caught up with Stephen S. Campanelli to discuss his career, the challenges of bringing his directorial debut from script to screen and what the future might hold for him in the director’s chair.
You are a seasoned veteran of the film industry and have a ton of great credits to your name. How did you get started on your journey?
No one in my family is in the film business. I don’t know why but one day I just picked up my parents Super 8 camera and started making some home movies. I borrowed some ketchup from my mom’s fridge to make blood and did recreations of “The Godfather” and film’s like that, editing in camera, with all of my friends. I never really thought about making it a career, it was just for fun. Somehow, I kept getting drawn to it and kept filming little movies. When I went to University, I took a film course and I instantly fell in love with it and said, “This is what I want to do!” I did a three-year program and fell in love with the art form. I worked my way up from the bottom. I always knew I wanted to do camera and I made my mark. I did a lot of steadicam and there was hardly any of it back then. I learned that craft and it was a very sought after machine on many TV shows and features. I just kept working really hard to get to where I am today.
Who were some of the big influences that impacted you as a filmmaker?
Director Stephen S. Campanelli on set.
That brings us to your latest project, your directorial debut, “Momentum.” What brought you to this project?
It came to me through a friend, my composer. He had worked with the producer before and they were looking for a new director for the project. He recommended me and said, “He is primed to direct. That is all he wants to do now.” Luckily, the script came to me. It needed a bit of work but I gave the producer my notes on how I wanted to change it and make it better. He agreed with all of them and told me I had the job. That is how it came to me. I don’t know if I wouldn’t have chosen “Momentum” as my first movie because it was a huge undertaking and doing a huge action movie as your first film as a director is a tough one! I felt very well prepared for it after being a cameraman for 25 years. I knew where to put the camera, how to deal with actors and how to deal with the crew, so it was a seamless transition. I felt very confident, I knew what I wanted and I had my cinematographer, Glen MacPherson, by my side to help me along. Like I said, it wouldn’t have been my normal first choice but I am glad it was! It was a great thrill ride and I really enjoyed it!
Did you have any particular goals or aspirations for the film? Anything you wanted to tackle from a directorial standpoint?
Yeah. It’s funny because working with Clint all these years, it has become obvious that he is a great storyteller but, as I said, he doesn’t let the camera go to crazy to take you out of the movie. With “Momentum,” because it is an action film, I thought I wanted to make the camera and the storytelling very visual to help move along what was on the page. Those are the things I really tried. I always had written on my script and my mandate to the camera crew was to always shoot through shifts. That was written on my script and was a constant reminder to the old films of Hitchcock that have some foreground, middleground and background, so I always had elements in front of the lens to really have the camera travel through and it gives the film a great sense of depth. That was the one thing I don’t get to do much of on Clint’s films but I wanted to make it my style for my own film. I think we achieved that very well and I am very proud of the look of the film and what the camera guys did!
What adjustments did you have to make with the script when you started shooting?
The cast of the film is terrific. What can you tell us about the process of finding the right mix of actors to bring the characters to life?
That is a good question because I think on some movies casting can be a major hassle. I was very fortunate to have worked with Olga on a movie called “Seven Psychopaths,” where I worked as a camera operator. She is so beautiful and so nice. She is really the sweetest person and very talented. I had thought to myself, “One day if I direct, I want to see if I can get her in the movie.” So, I stayed in touch with her and, luckily enough, when this movie came along she read the script and she liked it. It is a female lead, which I think is something lacking in the market right now, so she was totally attracted to it. With James Purefoy, we had never met, but I saw him on “The Following” and thought, “Oh my God! This is the perfect bad guy!” Luckily, through CAA, we got a hold of him. We had a lovely phone conversation. It was very sweet because he said, “I really like the script. We can make it better of course, but after talking to you I am even more excited about working on this movie.” That was a huge compliment. I am a huge fan of his work. I met him for the first time in South Africa and it was a real treat to see him. Morgan Freeman is someone who I have worked with a bunch of times. He has always been very supportive of my career. He said, “When you do your first movie, let me know if I can help you out at all.” That is how I got him for the movie! It all came together quite nicely!
Obviously, you have years of experience under your belt but you undoubtedly learn something with every project. What was biggest lesson you learned from directing your first feature?
The biggest hurdle or challenge for me was that we filmed it in Capetown, South Africa and I didn’t have any of my support crew with me, except for my cinematographer. It was all local South African crews and I didn’t know anybody. I felt I was very alone. Normally, I would have my own production designer, first assistant director, sound guys and a bunch of other key people to surround me. That is the thing with Clint, he has kept the same people around for 21 years and we are a tight family. That allows everything to operate very smoothly. That wasn’t the case for this film. The crew was fantastic but we had to get to know each other and try to fit everything into a very tight, 36 day schedule. It was a bumpy ride because we didn’t have the trust among each other and there were a lot of people who had never worked together before. It became a big challenge to try and get the amount of work done we needed everyday. In addition, we couldn’t work more than 12 hours a day. That was the toughest thing for me, feeling very alone and not being surrounded by the people I would normally go to direct a movie. In the end, like I said, the crew and cast came through with flying colors and we managed to make a great film.
Was there a film you worked on in the past that had a big impact on you and your craft?
To be very honest, every time I have worked with Clint, it has been very inspiring because I see the way he works with the crew, the cast and the way he tells a story so simply. I have wanted to direct for 10 to 15 years but I was enjoying working with Clint so much. I think the catalyst that made me want to direct was a film I worked on as a camera operator called “The Maze Runner.” The director was Wes Ball, a great guy, but very young and didn’t have a lot of set experience. He came up to me and said, “I really need your help in this movie. I have seen your resume.” I basically collaborated with him and the cinematographer and it was a big success. That is the point where I knew I really wanted to stop as a camera operator and I wanted to direct and be responsible for my own final product. I just came back for one more Clint Eastwood movie. We just finished the Sully Sullenberger story, the guy who landed the plane in the Hudson River, but I am going to go right back to directing again. I am very happy to have worked on that project. I will always work with Clint but I am not trying to do any jobs but my own at this point!
What can we expect from you next? Is there a clear trajectory at this point?
Yeah. I directed a second film called “Rio Heat.” We shot it in Rio De Janeiro, hence the title. It is a buddy cop movie, something kind of like “Moonlighting,” where there are two partners who should never be together. Harvey Keitel plays, for lack of a better comparison, a “Charlie’s Angels” type of character who keeps giving them their assignments and watches the chaos unfold. It is more of a light-hearted action comedy. It is a lot of fun. They are in the process of selling it right now, so I don’t know where it is going to end up but it should be out next year sometime!
You can definitely serve as a great inspiration to young filmmakers. What is the best lesson we can take from your journey so far?
The first thing I think of is don’t be afraid to work hard, sacrifice and stay dedicated. It is a really tough grind to get to the top but when you get there it is worth it! Another thing I tell people is to dream big. I didn’t dream big enough. I wanted to meet Clint Eastwood as a kid, just as a fan and get an autograph or a picture. I never thought I would be working with him 21 years later! I always tell people, “If you are going to dream, dream bigger” because one day you will actually achieve it. That is my thing — work hard, be dedicated, be personable because if people like you they want to be around you and work with you and if you do your job well it is more of a bonus. Those are my words of advice!
Awesome! Thanks so much for your time today. The film is terrific and I can’t wait to see where your journey takes you in the future! I really thought “Momentum” was a homerun!
We will be spreading the word!
Starz Digital released the film theatircally in October and Anchor Bay Entertainment is releasing the film on Blu-ray and DVD on December 1st. | 2019-04-20T19:16:47 | https://www.iconvsicon.com/2015/11/29/momentum-stephen-s-campanelli-on-his-epic-career-and-directorial-debut/?share=google-plus-1 |
Exceptionally great marketing motivates people. The world’s best marketers are experts in tools and techniques, but they’re also well-versed in behavioral psychology. They understand what makes people act, and how to integrate it in campaigns, email marketing, content, and even graphic design.
“Consumer psychology is all about getting into that unconscious territory where people are being directed to make purchases for reasons they are not clear about” states consumer psychology expert Michael Fishman. At it’s best, marketing doesn’t always rely on logical persuasion. Sometimes marketers can win at pure emotional appeal that doesn’t make sense to their customers.
Wait. Is That Even ETHICAL?
Behavioral psychology can be unethical in marketing. The possibility is there. If your marketing deceives people into behaving in regrettable ways, it’s absolutely unethical. Fear and positioning are powerful tactics. However, if you’re simply using psychology to strengthen emotional connections with consumers who already want or need your products, there’s no harm done.
Humans look for patterns. At the most biological level, it’s how we’ve evolved (or how we’re hard-wired). Giving people the opportunity to identify simple patterns motivates them to keep looking.
The lesson: In design, copy, and other forms of marketing, don’t be too complicated. Strive for simplicity, and give your prospects a chance to find patterns and symmetry.
The Gestalt Principle is both enormously complex and important, especially if you’re in the business of web design or user experience. For an in-depth overview, we recommend Smashing Mag’s coverage of Gestalt for web workers.
People have a tendency to second guess their own behavior, especially if they’re unsure of impact. If you’re trying to trigger someone into action, affirm the fact it will make a difference.
Stating “make a purchase today” instead of “making a purchase today can lead to immediate improvements in your health” can lead to almost 50% lower conversions, according to psychology research performed at ASU.
The lesson: Reduce the margin for your prospects to question their decisions by giving rationale for conversion or purchase.
Ultimately, you define your brand. Taking an aggresive and highly strategic approach to defining yourselves before your customers (or competitors) can do the same is just good marketing.
The lesson: If you’re interested in the art of positioning, which is closely tied to branding, we recommend the classic marketing book Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind.
We all want to be part of something. It’s the same behavioral psychology principle behind high school cliques. While your B2B prospects might not like to be called jocks or goth kids, they want to be part of something.
Are your buyer personas successful accounting professionals? Do they maintain a rebellious streak? In the politics realm, voter motivation studies have found that using labels openly can lead to 15% better results.
The lesson: We never really leave high school, do we? Define your buyer personas freely.
Did you know that companies who make mistakes aren’t always bound for bad fiscal years? Social psychologist Fiona Lee has discovered that organizations who openly admit fault and frame their errors in the context of “we could have done better” actually have higher stock prices.
The lesson: Brushing problems under the rug won’t win you any clients. Be clear about what you’ve done wrong, and consumers will be drawn to your honesty.
Equal exchange. It feels good, doesn’t it? Reciprocity is essentially the behavioral psychology principle behind most of inbound marketing. Consumers are provided value, in the form of free education and content resources, in exchange for permission to engage.
The lesson: If your brand is trying to take more from your prospects than you’re giving in return, your results won’t be stellar.
No one likes disappointing other people! Even the busiest and most distracted members of society are more likely to follow-through if they’ve already committed to something.
The lesson: Strive for conversions the first time a prospect visits your website with amazing eBooks, webinars, and white papers. The stronger the commitment, the less likely your prospect is to ultimately bail.
Do you know why achieving thought leadership is so critical for brands that engage in inbound marketing? It’s because people obey authority. We’re hard-wired to follow rules, in fact.
The lesson: Be really, really aggressive about establishing your organization’s expertise within a well-defined vertical.
It’s no secret that humans have the capacity for making enemies. This behavioral psychology principle is unfortunately behind some of the greatest atrocities in history, according to social psychologist Henry Tajifel.
This doesn’t mean you should start sliming your competitors or segments of the population your buyer personas might take issue with. Instead be clear about what your organization stands for; whether that’s social corporate responsibility, software, or professional services.
The lesson: You should never set out to offend anyone. However, pleasing everyone is neither possible or optimal.
No one wants to be taken for a ride. Social proof is especially crucial for smaller brands, who may need to work a little harder to establish credibility and expertise in the age of the internet.
The lesson: Anyone can claim expertise. Sharp marketers prove it by sharing customer statistics, case studies, and other verifiable facts.
Negativity is closely tied to fear, which is massively motivating. Occasionally (and I’m serious that this should really be occasional) framing facts and statistics in a really negative way can be highly motivating.
The lesson: Think like classic newspapers, and occasionally highlight the worst-case scenarios to spur some prospect action.
Who doesn’t love rewards or recognitions? While millennials may be referred to as the trophy generation, the truth is that individuals of all ages adore receiving kickbacks and positive feedback.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that reward is a massively motivating factor for human behavior. Not all people are motivated in the same ways. Some customer groups may strive for professional success and others may act to save money. Knowing what your customers need and offering it as a carrot is always a win, though.
The lesson: If you’ve been putting off featuring your customers on your blog, or initiating a client rewards program, don’t delay.
Have you ever learned a new word, and then began noticing it everywhere? This phenomenon, known as the recency illusion, is an uncanny experience we’ve all had at least once or twice.
With the latest technological possibilities for marketing retargeting, the sharpest marketers are using a cross-platform approach to getting their products in front of prospects.
The lesson: Brilliant lead nurturing campaigns and personalization, can induce just the right “uncanny” feeling in your prospects.
Everyone - and I mean everyone - is motivated by fear. None of us want to lose social status or comfort. This principle is why fear in marketing can be super effective.
Should your prospects be more worried about their data security, or their health? What statistics, facts, and figures are they unaware of? Broadcast these as a powerful motivator.
The lesson: While no one wants to be too scared, broadcasting facts and figures your buyer personas need to know can educate and provoke action.
Remember Volkswagen’s famous print ad from decades ago, that declared facetiously their car was a “lemon”? It was eye-catching and emotional, and ultimately more effective than if the car manufacturer had decided to just start listing off the vehicle’s features. Most consumers are ultimately emotional, even though logic plays a major role in purchases.
The lesson: Every organization, even the most serious B2B brands, can benefit from appropriate use of emotional appeal. | 2019-04-26T10:10:34 | http://www.inboundmarketingagents.com/inbound-marketing-agents-blog/bid/362175/15-Principles-of-Behavioral-Psychology-Sharp-Marketers-Exploit |
The Karnataka state polls are scheduled for May 12. Credit: Wikimedia Commons.
With only a few days remaining before the Karnataka state polls scheduled for May 12, the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) analysed the affidavits of about 96% of the candidates. The study revealed some shocking facts about gender disparity, as well as the candidates’ education, financial and criminal backgrounds.
Of the 2655 candidates contesting the poll, ADR analysed the affidavits of 2560 candidates; 15% of these candidates have criminal cases registered against them, and 10% face serious criminal charges. About 35% of the candidates have average assets worth Rs. 7.54 crores, while only 8% of all candidates are women.
In the 2013 Karnataka elections, ADR analysed a sample of 2788 candidates and found that 12% candidates had criminal cases, with 7% facing serious criminal cases, while 31% candidates had assets worth more than Rs 1 crore and only 6% candidates were women. After the election, once the winners were declared, ADR observed that 33% of the winners had criminal cases against them with 17% facing serious charges. Additionally, out of the winners, 94% of them reported assets of more than a crore and only 3% of the winners were women.
The three main political parties contesting in the Karnataka elections are Congress (INC), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Janta Dal (JDs). Upon further investigation, the ADR found that 37% candidates from BJP have declared criminal cases (26% serious cases) while 27% of INC candidates have criminal cases against them (15% serious cases) and JD(S) fielded 21% candidates with criminal cases (12% serious cases).
BJP has 93% candidates with registered assets of over a crore, while INC has 94% and JD(S) has 77%. In addition to this, ADR also found that recontesting MLA’s reported an increase in assets on average of about Rs.17 crore (64%) from 2013 to 2018.
It can be observed that while the number of candidates with serious criminal cases has increased by 3%, the number of women candidates has increased by 2% and candidates with assets more than Rs 1 crore have also increased by 4%. Furthermore, it has been observed that over the last decade, political parties are giving tickets to 30-33% candidates with criminal cases and 70-90% candidates who have assets more than Rs 1 crore, making it clear that a candidate’s ability to win is judged solely by their money and muscle power. However, such candidates after winning elections, ignore governance and the voters and are busy recouping their investment many times over.
The election campaign has been reduced to name calling, provocative speeches, levelling allegations on top leaders of opposing parties and dividing the Karnataka voters on lines of religion, region, caste. About Rs 72 crore cash and Rs 32 crore worth gold has been seized by Election Commission of India to date, three times the size of earlier seizures. Bribing of voters and inciting people on religious lines continues despite a Supreme Court directive banning both.
Additionally, parties declare their manifestos a few days before the polling date, not giving enough time to the electorate to analyse or reasonably debate them. In any case, manifestos are forgotten soon after their release, as the performance of the elected government is never measured on the promises outlined in the manifesto.
The solution to these problems requires a complete overhaul of the Indian electoral system. The first step in doing so will be to cap the expenditure of political parties. Secondly, there needs to be an increase in the accountability and transparency in the functioning of political parties. Political parties have strongly opposed coming under the Right to Information (RTI) Act and have been silent on the introduction of the Electoral Bond Scheme, which sounds the death knell for the little transparency that existed in political funding.
The Electoral Commision of India should strictly enforce the Moral Code of Conduct, to prevent hate speeches. Currently, 47% of elected legislators in the country from the BJP have cases pertaining to hate speech against them. Additionally, political parties must stop granting tickets to candidates with serious criminal cases against them. The Congress and the BJP fielded 15% and 26% candidates respectively with cases related to heinous crimes in Karnataka.
Lastly, the voters must understand that as long as they continue to cast their votes on caste, religion, community and regional lines, politicians will continue to take advantage of them. Real development will remain a dream and good governance will not be delivered by elected legislators.

Idina Menzel (/ɪˈdiːnə mɛnˈzɛl/– correct pronunciation, thank you very much) rose to prominence for her performance as Maureen Johnson in the Broadway musical Rent, a role which she reprised for the 2005 film version. In 2004, she won a Tony Award for the role of Elphaba in Wicked. And you probably recognize her as playing Lea Michele’s biological mother on Glee.
In case you missed it, and just for fun, here is Idina Menzel performing “Let it Go” with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots.
Menzel will be returning to Broadway this year in the musical If/Then.
Ironically, the Menzel version was more popular in radio airplay.
Since Frozen’s premiere and Let it Go’s popularity, numerous covers of the song have popped up all over Youtube. One of the more interesting: The Piano Guys’ cover version mixes parts of Antonio Vivaldi’s Concerto No. 4 in F minor, Op. 8, RV 297, “L’inverno” (Winter) from The Four Seasons into the original. Watch Here.
And why did John Travolta, who introduced Menzel’s performance of “Let it Go” at the Academy Awards, mispronounce her name (“the one and only Adele Dazeem”)? According to E! Online it was possibly nerves. Our theory: the text on the teleprompter was incorrect. Other names were mispronounced during the show — Ellen introduced Kristen Bell as “Kristen Bi-el”.

Social media can often feel overwhelming when you don’t have the right tools to help you schedule everything. You’re constantly coming up with content ideas, creating it and then posting every second of your day.
One of the worst things you can do is not start putting the systems in place to help you spend less time in your business.
If you’re looking to regain your free time or just have more time to focus on your business, make sure you read through these 7 free tools to help you schedule your content.
Hootsuite is a major player in the social media scheduling scene, and their free version is a fantastic option for small business owners with little time.
You’re only allowed one team member, but as a small business, it will likely just be you or someone on your team doing it anyway. No need to worry.
Now you are limited by a few restrictions. First, you can only connect to 3 different social accounts.
Again, this shouldn’t be a problem as a small business owner. You won’t have the time or resources to be on every platform just yet.
The other restriction is only being limited to scheduling 30 posts in advance. This means if you’re post 1 post a day, across 3 platforms, you only need to schedule out posts every 10 days.
Instagram has always been a bit tricky when it comes to scheduling. Third party apps and tools have had to work around the restrictions, but this hasn’t stopped them from providing useful solutions to your scheduling problems.
Later is a great tool for visually planning out your posts for Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, & Twitter.
I’ve used Later to help plan out my Instagram posts for the week, and it’s so handy because they send you alerts and load up your post straight to the Instagram platform.
Even testing it out again recently, they were able to automatically post straight to my Instagram account for me. This was massive as I hadn’t seen any other tool having this feature beforehand!
Buffer is another great tool for anyone just getting started with social media marketing for their business. If you want a tool with a great user interface, that’s easy to navigate, start here.
Buffer offers the same level of posting that Hootsuite does for their free version, giving you access to queue up 10 posts across 3 platforms in advance.
The handy thing about Buffer is that you can create a schedule with specific times you want your content to go out each. This can save you a bit of time adjusting the date and time for each post.
Once you load up a post into the queue, it will automatically go out at the next free date and time in the schedule you’ve set. | 2019-04-20T19:20:12 | https://www.manexomedia.com/3-free-tools-to-help-you-schedule-your-content-save-time/ |

The investing company is ERA Brazil Israel, owned by Eric Ben-Mayor and partners.
Israeli company RescueDose, which has developed a compact robot system for dispensing liquid drugs for injection and for filling syringes and IV bags, has announced a $2.5 million financing round. The company has raised a total of $5 million since it was founded. Founded in the hiCenter Ventures incubator in Haifa, RescueDose latest investment is from ERA Brazil Israel, a company owned by Advocate Eric Ben-Mayor and a group of Brazilian partners. ERA Brazil Israel has invested in a variety of high-tech companies in Israel, and in medical and dental companies.
Automation of drug dispensing has two main advantages. The first is more accurate control of the process of preparing drugs and more accurate monitoring of the dosage. The second is protection of pharmacists against hazardous materials. Syringes with most dangerous drugs are currently prepared manually. The transition to an automated process enables a pharmacist to oversee the process. RescueDose's first line of products is designed for nuclear medicine. The company has two patents in the US and one being registered in China.
RescueDose CEO Gilad Einy said, "This significant financing round is a vote of confidence in the innovative product developed by the company. It will enable us to penetrate additional markets. The company has a joint project with EC Squared, the market leader in medical and nuclear pharmaceutical computer systems, with assistance from the Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial Research and Development (BIRD) Foundation. The company also has projects with companies in China, and is bringing its systems to the Chinese market. It is also entering additional medical sectors."
Ben-Mayor added, "The global hospital and pharmacy automation market is estimated at $5-7 billion a year, and is projected to grow substantially in the next five years. ResdueDose specializes in automation of liquid drugs, and is developing products in nuclear medicine and chemotherapy that will be used next year in hospitals and pharmacies in Israel and worldwide. Very few companies are now supplying automated solutions in this sector."
hiCenter Ventures CEO Yael Mittelman said, "I see great potential in robotics for medical uses. I foresee that this financing round will enable the company to deepen its penetration of the markets and make it possible for it to develop applications in additional medical sectors in which IVs are frequently used." | 2019-04-22T23:15:40 | https://en.globes.co.il/en/article-automated-medication-dispensing-co-rescuedose-raises-25m-1001201162 |

On March 3rd, 2011, the Articles of Incorporation for the ND Appraisers Association, a nonprofit Corporation, were filed with the North Dakota Secretary of State. These articles are also on file in the corporate offices of the ND Appraisers Association, which was formed pursuant to the North Dakota Century Code Chapter 10-33.
The Charter Members of the ND Appraiser Association adopted these Bylaws in accordance with NDCC § 10-33-26 on June 20, 2016.

CARRAMAR mother Dawn Edge finds herself in a situation unthinkable for a mother.
While four people have been charged over her son Jason’s murder, the body of her only child has not been found.
A 28-year-old man and another man aged 21 have been charged with murder.
A third man (26) and a 37-year-old woman were charged with being an accessory after the fact.
Mr Edge (29) was last seen in Clarkson on the Anzac Day long weekend last year but it was not until October police revealed they were treating his disappearance as a homicide.
“It’s been an absolute nightmare and very distressing for both of us,” Mrs Edge said of the trauma for her and Jason’s father.
The experience has prompted Mrs Edge to back a push, led by Margaret Dodd – the mother of missing teenager Hayley Dodd – for the introduction of a ‘no body, no parole’ law.
The pair have become a support for each other after Mrs Edge contacted Mrs Dodd when she saw her online petition for the introduction of the legislation.
The law would have a convicted murderer not given the possibility of parole if the location of the victim’s body was not disclosed.
“She’s (Mrs Dodd) a brilliant woman and she’s been through so much as well,” Mrs Edge said.
“We’ve only been through it for under a year and she’s had 16 years of this.
“One day I Facebooked her as a friend and she got back to me and I explained to her our predicament.
The petition attracted about 20,000 signatures but it was not in the correct format to be formally presented to Parliament.
Butler MLA John Quigley assisted Mrs Dodd in writing up an eligible petition, which was signed by the Edges and the Dodds. Mrs Edge and Mrs Dodd will join Mr Quigley in Parliament today when he tables the four-signature petition.
Mr Quigley said this method would allow them to refer to Mrs Dodd’s original petition to support their advocacy for the change.
“I’m going to really debate it strongly; it’s just obvious isn’t it?” Mr Quigley said.
He criticised Attorney-General Michael Mischin for describing Labor’s backing of the law as “a beat-up based on a lady’s grief”.
Mr Mischin emphasised he meant no offence to Mrs Dodd and offered his regret over any distress to her.
“My comments were, plainly, aimed at the Opposition dressing up as an innovative policy law reform something that is already accommodated by the law and reflected in current practice,” he told the Weekender on Wednesday. | 2019-04-19T14:36:06 | https://www.communitynews.com.au/wanneroo-times/news/jason-edge-disappearance-mother-behind-no-body-no-parole-push/ |
I've made a Paulines Ham, I'm thinking of hot smoking it but wondered if it might need a pre-soak in fresh water first to remove some of the salt or just go ahead and cook it as is????
Didn't get time to smoke this so cooked on the stove on a low simmer. It's very,very good..... Great flavour on it and cured in just 7 days. I did a piece of topside with exactly the same cure and it's the best corned beef I've had. Thanks Phil and Pauline. | 2019-04-19T12:29:25 | http://forum.sausagemaking.org/viewtopic.php?p=108722& |

Ukraine's telecommunications system has come under attack, with equipment installed in Russian-controlled Crimea used to interfere with the mobile phones of members of parliament, the head of Ukraine's SBU security service said on Tuesday.
Some Internet and telephone services were severed after Russian forces seized control of airfields and key installations in Ukraine's Crimea region on Friday, but now lawmakers were being targeted, Valentyn Nalivaichenko told a news briefing.
"I confirm that an...attack is under way on mobile phones of members of Ukrainian parliament for the second day in row," the security chief told a news briefing.
Ukrtelecom has already said armed men raided its facilities in Crimea on Friday and tampered with fibre optic cables, causing outages of local telephone and Internet systems on the continent.
The Ukrainian security chief did not say whether the new issues were linked to the earlier raid or a separate tampering incident. Ukrtelecom said it was working on a response to questions from Reuters about Nalivaichenko's remarks.
Russia's domestic intelligence service, the FSB, declined to comment when asked if Moscow was behind the communications disruptions in Ukraine.
The main Ukrainian government website, www.kmu.gov.ua, was offline for about 72 hours after Russian forces seized control of the peninsula, but went back up early on Monday, said John Bumgarner, chief technology officer for the U.S. Cyber Consequences Unit.
Bumgarner, whose firm advises companies and government agencies on how to fend off cyber attacks, said, he is not sure that the site went down as a result of a cyber attack. Still, he said he believes Moscow has the ability to cause major disruptions using cyber operations.
"I know they have the ability to do at least as much damage as they did in Estonia and Georgia," he said.
Estonia suffered a 10-day attack on its internet services in 2007, which caused major disruptions to its financial system, during a spat with Moscow over a Soviet-era war memorial, and Georgia was hit by mass cyber attacks during a brief 2008 war with Russia over its pro-Moscow South Ossetia region.
Russian authorities denied direct involvement in both attacks, saying they had no influence over the actions of self-styled patriotic hackers.
Much of Ukraine's telecommunications infrastructure was built when it was part of the Soviet Union, along with what is now the Russian Federation, and is particularly vulnerable to penetration by Moscow.
"The Russians have the place completely wired," said Jim Lewis, a former U.S. foreign service officer and now senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
"They are right next door and most traffic has to go through Russia. That they haven't done more probably reflects their confidence that they're going to come out ahead and there's nothing anyone can do about it," Lewis said.
Cyber warfare experts say that while Russia certainly has the ability to conduct such campaigns against Ukraine, it has yet to need to use those capabilities.
"This would show the Russians acting with more discretion and targeting than recently," said John Bassett, former head of the London and Washington stations of GCHQ, Britain's top secret government communications centre.
"This wouldn't expose any great depth of their technological capability and they would be keeping the harder stuff back," said Bassett, now associate at Oxford University's Cyber Security Centre.
Marty Martin, a former senior operations officer with the CIA, said Moscow would likely only take action to damage Ukraine's Internet and internal communications systems if hostilities broke out.
"A lot of times you don't want to shut things down. If you do that, then you don't get your flow of intelligence. You are probably better off monitoring it," Martin said.
Experts believe Russia was behind the hacking of a confidential phone conversation between senior U.S. State Department official Victoria Nuland and U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt, which was leaked over YouTube last month.
"Russia's strategy is control the narrative, discredit opponents, and coerce," Lewis said. | 2019-04-24T03:50:50 | https://www.worldbulletin.net/europe/ukraine-says-communications-hit-mps-phones-blocked-h130198.html |

We are not sure how many men will openly admit the emotional rollercoaster they were riding on when they were searching for the perfect engagement ring in Green-way, GA. While we are sure that there are conversations between some of these men behind closed doors, when one experienced engaged man is confiding in his soon-to-propose buddy, it is not often you hear men talking about shopping for engagement rings and warning each other about the emotions entailed.
That is why we are going to put it out there for you, men. Popping the question itself is somewhat nerve-wracking, even if you know she is going to break down and tears, kiss you and exclaim, “Yes! I will marry you!” Every single woman in this world seems to have such different personal style tastes that choosing the perfect engagement ring in Green-way, GA is almost an impossible feat.
Asking for her hand in marriage is definitely awkward – Before you even start to look for an engagement ring in Green-way, GA, there is a very crucial step you need to take. Even if you have known her parents for ten years and they absolutely love you, it is still not an easy task to formally ask them if you can have permission to marry their daughter. You have no idea what they are going to say, what questions they will have for you, and how they will react. Our words of advice? Make up your mind, practice what you are going to say, and then do it!
You will need the advice of your – and her – friends – Let’s face it, shopping for engagement rings in Green-way, GA isn’t something that you do all of the time. (Hopefully, you will only do it once in your entire life!) This isn’t a time to strike out and go at it alone. Talk to your male friends who have shopped for engagement rings in Green-way, GA, and consult with her friends, as well, for insight into what she likes and doesn’t like. Her friends may have some great insight for you. Just be careful who you confide in – some people cannot keep a secret!
This is not about you – You may think that you have pretty good taste in jewelry, but this isn’t one of those times that you are shopping for a gift that she’s going to say, “Well…it was the thought that counts…” This is one of those times when you want to hit the nail on the head, or, better yet, knock the ball out of the park. So, forget about what you think she would like and do your research to ensure you get an engagement ring in Green-way, GA that she is going to love.
Do not assume that all diamonds are equal – Men and women alike make this same mistake. Diamonds are stunning, no matter how small, and usually despite their quality. They reflect light and sparkle and are simply eye-catching. Educate yourself about the 4C’s of diamonds before you shop for an engagement ring in Green-way, GA and be sure to understand how quality and pricing relate.
You can afford a custom-made Pembroke Pine engagement ring – Big dollar bill signs probably pop into your head when you hear the words “custom-made jewelry”, but the truth is, custom made engagement rings in Green-way, GA are not necessarily expensive and complicated. Let’s say, for instance, that you know she will fall in love with the marquis setting on one ring, but you want a higher grade diamond in the setting. Then, you find a band that has an intricate design that would Wow her. This is where a custom-made ring comes into play – all three of the features that you want can be combined into one.
Expect to be exhausted – You have been to all of the possible Green-way, GA engagement ring stores, consulting with everyone you trusted, spent hours and hours hunting down the perfect ring, and have been granted permission to ask for her hand in marriage from her parents. Trust us, you will be exhausted and it will probably cross your mind to just hurry up and propose to her. But, you still have one more very important thing to do: plan the proposal. Remember, you will only have one opportunity to propose to her and get it right, so spend a little time planning out the proposal.
While we cannot promise that this advice will completely remove the emotional rollercoaster from your life, we do hope that it helps you find the perfect engagement ring in Green-way, GA. Good luck, and if we can help you further, contact BC Custom Jewelry. | 2019-04-20T05:09:56 | http://bccustomjewelry.com/Engagement-Rings/georgia/green-way |
The Indian Point Energy Center, with two operational nuclear reactors, sits in a densely populated region just 40 miles north of midtown Manhattan. It is a vital part of the electricity supply system for the New York City region, but its propinquity to the largest city in the United States has raised public concerns about its safe operation, particularly in the event of a terrorist attack. Such concerns prompted the U.S. Congress to request a study of potential options for replacing the 2,000 MW of power provided by Indian Point. This paper assesses the potential for electricity alternatives in the Indian Point service area. It documents that increased investments in energy efficiency, combined heat and power facilities, and solar photovoltaics could cost-competitively reduce peak demand in the Indian Point service area by 1 Gigawatt (GW) or more by 2010 and by 1.5 GW by 2015. If the cost of solar photovoltaics can be brought to nearcompetitive levels over the next decade, these totals could be raised to 1.7 GW by 2015, approaching the capacity of the Indian Point Energy Center. This result challenges the conventional focus of system operators and policymaker on supply-side solutions. | 2019-04-21T16:17:32 | https://cepl.gatech.edu/publications/pub/368 |
One of the most common causes of bankruptcy is medical costs. In fact, 62% of bankruptcies are the result of health care expenses. Even those who have health insurance are affected, due to crushing co-payments and co-insurance percentages! That’s why it’s essential to pick the right health insurance plan for your needs, with the correct level of benefits.
Think twice before selecting a health savings account. High-deductible HSA plans are appealing due to lower premiums, but studies have found that people with higher deductibles are more susceptible to bankruptcy.
Whatever health coverage you choose, keep a separate savings account with money in the bank to pay for unexpected emergencies or other medical expenses.
Check with your health insurer to confirm that they actually paid the providers, even if they are responsible for the billing.
Ask for a copy of your bill, and look for mix-ups that could cause you to owe more than you expected.
If at all possible, avoid opening credit card accounts to pay for health care, even if the provider offers it to you. Credit card debt is harder to eliminate than medical debt, comes with far higher interest rates, and leaves a black mark on your record.
Don’t take out a home equity loan, either. Not only is it also harder to eliminate through bankruptcy, but it could also lead to you losing your home.
Try to negotiate a payment plan with the hospital or doctor’s office, even if you have health insurance. They may offer more favorable terms.
What does the Healthcare Bill Change Now?
The healthcare bill has passed after more than a year of debate and negotiations. Some of the provisions will go into affect immediately. So what does the passage mean for both uninsured and insured Americans? Here is a look at some of the major changes.
Seniors will get help paying for prescription drugs.
Individuals with income of $200,000 or more and families with a combined income of $250,000 or higher will see an increase in taxes.
If you already have health coverage, within six months, the plans will have to stop setting lifetime limits on coverage and canceling policy holders who get sick.
Insurers will also have to allow children to stay on their parents’ policies through age 26 and cover children with pre-existing conditions, but can still deny adults with medical problems until 2014.
By 2014, most Americans would be required to purchase health insurance or face penalties.
Small businesses and the uninsured would have the option of shopping for coverage in medical insurance exchanges, a marketplace in which people would be able shop for and compare insurance plans. Those exchanges would be implemented in 2014.
The bill greatly expands Medicaid and subsidies to the poor. Insurance companies would not be able to place lifetime caps or deny coverage to patients based on pre-existing conditions.
The healthcare debate has lawmakers at odds, and if you are wondering why Congress can’t seem to get a hold on the issue of medical insurance the simple answer is: it’s not easy. A large part of the healthcare debate is spending, and lawmakers must predict how much money the country’s health system will need in the future.
As said in an article by The New England Journal of Medicine, no one can accurately predict what health care expenditures will be 10 years from now, because they will depend on many factors, every one of which is unpredictable. For instance, what health problems will the country face in 2020? No one knows what the incidence of heart disease, cancer, and other major objects of health care spending will be 10 years from now. The prevalence of obesity may continue to increase or reverse its course. New infectious diseases may appear and become widespread. Equally important, and equally difficult to predict, are advances in medicine, or in economic terms, changes in medical technology. New drugs, new devices, new imaging techniques, and new surgical procedures have had a huge impact on health care expenditures in the past and probably will in the future as well.
And then there is the cost of medical advancements. Some advancements are proven to be cost effective while others are seen as wasteful. But how can Congressional leaders know exactly which interventions to invest in?
Healthcare spending becomes a matter of how much a life is worth. It’s a difficult principle to quantify and even more challenging for lawmakers to govern. So as lawmakers struggle to come to common ground on how to make health insurance more affordable, remember, it’s no easy fix. | 2019-04-18T19:00:30 | https://www.vitalonehealth.com/tag/healthcare |

The adrenalin will be flowing especially when the crowd keeps you going as the finish line approaches.
Hitting the wall hurts. It’s a fear of many runners. When it happens, you’ll know about it, it will feel as though you are running through treacle. Whether running the race seriously or for fun, once the marathon is over, you can then return to your hotel accommodation to chill out and relax. Make sure to book a room with an en suite bathroom and a bath to rest those weary limbs so your body recovers. In the evening, enjoy a meal then join fellow hotel guests and tell them what it’s really like to run the London Marathon.
There’s the fun side too. Enjoy the costumes and British sense of humour with runners from all walks of life doing their bit for local and international charities.

One soldier is killed and another captured by the Germans, and a rescue operation is underway. However, a Swedish colonel sends out an execution squad to eliminate the lost soldiers and their rescuers, in order to cover up the mistake. The lost Swedish soldiers now suddenly face two different enemies on their way home across the border.

I have been tossing the idea around in my head. Considering what I would say to you. Running through scenarios in the shower.
I came dangerously close to texting you, to admitting I missed you, to letting you back into my world for at least a little while — but I changed my mind.
I am not going to take steps backward. I am not going to retreat to the past. I am not going to let my guilt pull me in the wrong direction.
I am not going to let you take advantage of me again. I am not going to give you the opportunity to make the same mistakes a second time. I am not going to place myself into a toxic situation on purpose.
I am not going to convince myself you deserve another chance. I am not going to tell myself maybe you have changed. I am not going to rationalize reaching out to you when it is clearly the wrong decision.
I am not going to listen to my heart over my head. I am not going to blindly follow my impulses. I am not going to act stupid because of loneliness.
I am not going to text you, even though you would love to hear from me. Even though you would answer the call in seconds. Even though we would be able to play pretend — for at least a little while — and act like everything is fine between us.
I am not going to let the temptation to talk to you get the best of me. I am not going to make the biggest mistake of my life on a whim. I am not going to give you any attention whether I am drunk or sober, whether I am alone in an empty apartment or surrounded by friends who treat me better than you ever have.
I am allowed to miss you without reaching out to you. I am allowed to wish things worked out differently without trying to set things right with you for the hundredth time.
I walked away from you because I realized there was no way to fix what was broken between us. Time has passed since then — but time does not change anything. You are still the same person.
Even if you have changed into someone more respectful, someone more mature, someone with an actual conscience, you still do not deserve to have me in your world. You need to learn that your actions have consequences. You cannot take away what you did to me. You cannot erase our history. You screwed up and now you have to live with yourself.
Even after everything you put me through, I still thought about texting you. I thought about forgiving you. I thought about talking to you like an adult instead of avoiding you. But I changed my mind. I blocked your number. I remembered how much pain you brought me the first time. And I promised myself there would not be a second time. | 2019-04-20T12:17:58 | https://thoughtcatalog.com/holly-riordan/2018/12/i-thought-about-texting-you-but-changed-my-mind/ |
Looking for something special to do this weekend?
This 4 hour Yin Yoga & Savasana Meditation & Healing with the Crystal Singing Bowls is the perfect way to spend your Sunday morning!
Start your day with 90 minutes of gentle, restorative Yin Yoga.
Next, relax into a deep Savasana meditation & healing with the Crystal Singing Bowls.
Then round off your morning with a quiet cup of herbal tea and some connective conversation.
Yin Yoga is a therapeutic class that is slow paced, meditative, and helps to balance an active lifestyle. We will explore deep stretching to enhance flexibility and joint mobility while encouraging healing and realigning the body’s connective tissues. With deep stretching through the pelvis, hips, low spine and shoulders, we will help create spaciousness and stillness in the mind.
Savasana is a completely relaxed pose that offers the mind, body and spirit a chance to reset itself and integrate the lessons and energies from the session.
The sound frequencies of the Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls are some of the most healing frequencies on earth. These gentle vibrations affect us on all levels simultaneously, and help us to restore, rebalance, reprogram and rejuvenate.
You’ll love this class, whether you are just starting your yoga or meditation practice, or you are a seasoned pro!
