Each young lady longs for delectable, solid hair that falls underneath her shoulders. However the scores of magnificence tips and long columns of hair items can influence it to appear to be very overpowering. Despite the fact that hair development tips are extremely common, the trap lies in focusing in on the best ones. To do this, you must trust the hair mind specialists. Gratefully, you’re in good fortune. On the off chance that you’ve been considering how to get thick hair for a really long time, we have the main 5 hair look after you to get the tresses you had always wanted.
While a hot shower can feel particularly consoling on winter days, ensure it’s not the last piece of your hair washing schedule. When you purge and condition your hair, tilt your head in reverse and wash your hair with chilly water for a few seconds. This hair mind tip will seal dampness inside the hair fingernail skin with the goal that the strands remain hydrated when you venture out.
To get the long hair you’ve generally needed, nothing works superior to anything a decent out-dated oil knead. What you should pick is the correct hair oil for the reason. We suggest the Dove Nourished Shine Elixir. Advanced with argan oil and hibiscus that loans tresses a glowing completion as well as restores harmed hair so new hair development is sound.

You know how practice enables the surface of your skin to show signs of improvement? A similar procedure applies to hair also. To get sound, thick hair with the assistance of yoga, we recommend a couple of stress calming postures like the descending pooch. Why it works so well is on the grounds that these activities empower the stream of blood to the head which thus, enables hair to become speedier.
This may seem like a restricting hair development tip however simply believe us on this. On the off chance that you endeavor to develop your hair without general trims, you will soon see the finishes of the hair length shaggy and harmed, which will in the end should be hacked off. Be that as it may, on the off chance that you trim your hair at regular intervals, the development will be progressive while split finishes, which influence hair to look unfortunate and dormant, will be headed out. In addition, you should realize that the more the split finishes, the greater the odds of your hair breaking and falling—something you totally don’t need when attempting to develop your hair. That is reason enough to plan your next hair style arrangement! | 2019-04-22T02:10:43 | http://www.earntomoney.com/2017/09/22/5-hair-growth-tips-for-thick-and-healthy-hair/ |

Cushard Consequential: What Makes Me Run in the Rain in December?
What Makes Me Run in the Rain in December?
It is cloudy, drizzly and quite warm for a December day (63 degrees at noon). When you look outside, though, it looks cold and dreary. It is just the type of day during which you want to sink into your favorite chair with a book and a football game, played in the snow. I did not want to go for my run. So it was decided…I put on my running shoes and went. Sometimes I am most motivated when I least want to run. I start thinking about all the days real athletes don’t want to get out there. I think about what sets elite athletes (or any successful person, for that matter) apart…getting out there on the days they just want to sleep in and have a late pancake breakfast.
I was motivated by wanting to emulate what successful people do; motivated to stick to my fitness plan; and motivated by doing something that most other people would not do….run on a Sunday in December in the rain.
During my run I thought about what motivates people and how to tap into that motivation to get people to perform. Motivation is complicated and individual once you get past Maslow’s hierarchy, and perhaps a leader cannot know everything that motivates everyone. But think about it, if you can get to know your people well enough to know what gets them excited, you might just be able to get them to go for a run in a rain on a Sunday in December.

At the age of 23 years, Jerome Increase Case set out from his birthplace and home in Oswego County, New York in the summer of 1842. He had purchased six (6) groundhog threshing machines on credit. He traveled to Wisconsin with the intent of selling the groundhog threshers along the way. Arriving in Racine, Wisconsin, Jerome began to work on his own design for a thresher. In 1844, he rented a small shop on the bank of the river in Racine and began making threshers. This was the beginning of what would become the J.I Case Threshing Machine Company. The Company became one of the leading manufacturers of threshing machines. To power these threshing machines, the company began the manufacture of a sweep-style horsepower in the early 1860’s. (See the article on the Case sweep-style horse-power in the January/February 2006 issue of Belt Pulley magazine.) The company soon realized the limitations of the sweep as a power source. This was particularly true as Case began to add innovative improvements to the basic design of their threshers. In 1880 Case introduced the Agitator thresher with the vibrating or agitating separator tables. In 1882, Case installed their patented tubular-style elevator on their threshers. Case developed their own straw stacker for the rear of the thresher which could lift stack the straw from the threshing operation into a tall stack behind the thresher. In 1888, a mechanical grain weigher was added to the top of the grain elevator. By 1893, self feeders were becoming a common part of nearly all Case threshers. These new improvements made the J.I. Case Threshing Machine Company, the leading producer of threshers. However, nearly all of these improvements imposed additional power requirements on the power source powering the thresher. At this time, Case offered threshers in a variety of sizes—one model with a 28 inch cylinder and a 46 inch separating unit, a model with a 32 inch cylinder and a 54 inch separator , a 36 inch x 58 inch thresher and a 40 x 62 model. The largest of the Case sweep-style horsepower—the seven team sweep—could produce up to about 28 horsepower. However, even the smallest of the new Case threshers—the 28 x 46 model—when fully outfitted with the new improvements, required 34 hp. to run at top efficiency. Obviously the sweep style horsepower was hopelessly outdated as a power source for these new threshers. Consequently, the Case Company began to look to a new source of power for their new threshers. The Company began to manufacture of steam engines in 1869. In 1876, the Company introduced its first “traction” steam engine, a steam engine that could move under its own power. From this time forward, the Case Company also became a leading manufacturer of steam engines and particularly traction steam engines. Until the 1890s, the J.I. Case Threshing Machine Company operated out of a singe factory located on Bridge Street in Racine, Wisconsin. Then during the 1890s, this building was torn down and replaced with the “Eagle” Building which became part of a new factory complex of buildings known as the “Main Works.” From the Main Works, the Case Company became a leading manufacturer of both a wide range of steam engines and a wide range of wood-frame grain threshers/separators.
In 1904, Case continued its technological innovations in thresher technology. One of the major shortcomings of wood frame threshers was the threat of fire posed by a wood frame machine working in association with a steam engine sitting next to a highly flammable stack of dry straw. Consequently, the Case Company, in 1904, introduced the first “all-steel” thresher. These threshers were sold side by side with the wood-frame threshers until 1906 when production of the wooden threshers was discontinued.
Food, clothing and shelter are well known as the three basic requirements of human beings. Agricultural is generally concerned with the production of the raw materials i.e. plants and animals, that become the food for mankind. To a lesser degree, agriculture also is concerned with the production of raw materials for clothing for mankind e.g. cotton and wool. To a still lesser degree, agriculture may be said to be involved in one of the most basic building materials used in providing shelter for mankind i.e. wood. This is especially true in recent days when forests are replanted after harvest in preparation for another harvest of trees in the future.
Just as the development of the mechanical thresher/separator revolutionized the threshing small grains, so too did the sawmill revolutionize the lumber industry. In the early days of the settlement of the upper Midwest of the United States and Canada, homes were made from logs. However, a log house had a tremendous tendency to shrink or “settle” over the years. This settling was especially pronounced in the first couple years after the construction. Settling meant that windows and doors would not remain square and, thus, tight fitting doors and windows were impossible in traditional log homes. Only frame-built houses would allow for tight fitting windows and doors. As civilization came to the Midwest with more people settling in the towns and on the farms of the Midwest, the frame house became the rule in home construction.
This tremendous growth of frame house got under way in the period following the War Between the States—the golden age of American agriculture. This boom in frame built housing created a vigorous demand for sawn lumber. Thus saw mills sprung up all over the Midwest. Usually, these sawmills were located at the falls of a particular river. This would allow the sawmill to use the power generated by the falling water and a water wheel to power the saw. Additionally, the river would be used as a transportation medium for the logs as lumber camps cut the native timber of the watershed up river from the sawmill and floated the logs down the river to the sawmill. The water might be captured by a dam on the river just above the sawmill to provide a reservoir of water to power the sawmill through any dry spells. This “mill pond” above the sawmill also served as a storage place for all the logs that came floating down the river.
The wood most in demand for building construction was pine. Pine is a straight grained, light but strong wood. It is easily worked with a handsaw and/or a plane. Furthermore, it tends to maintain its proper dimensions and shape,once it had been properly seasoned. (Robert C. Nesbit and William F. Thompson, Wisconsin: A History [University of Wisconsin: Madison, 1989] p. 297.) However, pine was not available in all areas of the United States.
Because of these desirable characteristics, pine could be transported a considerable distance and compete economically with any lumber found locally in any hardwood community. (Ibid.) Any person that has tried to hammer a nail into a “native” hardwood board will recognize why this is true. Pine tree forests were discovered to be most abundant in two belts of land in the United States. First was the wide belt of land that reached from New England through the Great Lakes area, with Lake Erie representing the southern most fringe of this belt, and extending on to present-day northern Minnesota. (Ibid.) Secondly, there was the Southern pine wood belt which started in eastern North Carolina (Hugh Talmage Lefler & Albert Ray Newsome, North Carolina: The History of a Southern State [University of North Carolina Press: Chapel Hill, 1973] pp. 100-101.) and arched to the south and including nearly all of South Carolina (David Duncan Wallace, South Carolina: A Short History [University of North Carolina Press: Chapel Hill, 1951] pp. 3-4.)southern Georgia ( Kenneth Coleman & et al. A History of Georgia), northern Florida (Charlton W. Tebeau, A History of Florida [University of Miami Press: Coral Gables, Florida, 1971] pp. 42 & 52.), southern Alabama and southern Mississippi (Nollie Hickman, Mississippi Harvest: Lumbering in the Longleaf Pine Belt 1840-1915 [Paragon Press: Montgomery, Alabama 1962] pp. 3-11].
Lumbering of the northern pine woods began in Maine and followed the virgin forests of this band of land westward. The market for all this lumber was south of this belt where civilization in the form of towns and farms arose along the upper Ohio River valley during the early nineteenth. The cities of Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Louisville and Evansville were all build with pine wood harvested from the northern pine woods.

Saudi Arabia’s public prosecutor has concluded that an intelligence officer ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s murder, and not Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The officer was tasked with persuading the dissident journalist to return to the Gulf kingdom, a spokesman said.
The body parts were then handed over to a local “collaborator” outside the grounds, he added. A composite sketch of the collaborator has been produced and investigations are continuing to locate the remains.
Turkish officials have alleged that the 15 Saudi agents who flew to Istanbul in the hours before the murder, one of whom is believed to have been a forensic pathologist working for the Saudi interior ministry, were carrying a bone saw. | 2019-04-24T11:05:18 | https://www.dominicavibes.dm/international/print-253502/ |

It’s a chilly morning here in Conway – it’s crisp and sunny and perfect for planning. We have meetings all day with people who are contributing to this cause. Thanksgiving has come and gone, but I find my self filled with this overwhelming feeling of gratitude. What better way to celebrate a season filled with magic than plan a market with people we love, people who inspire us to be better versions of ourselves.
Sometimes, in the process of growing up – becoming adults, buying homes, running businesses – we lose our sense of wonder. We forget to take time to breathe the cold winter air – to feel it fill our lungs. The holiday season begins to lose its magic as it fills up with deadlines and obligations. Snowflakes become obstacles rather than opportunities. Now is the start of the holiday season. Shopping centers will fill with people who, pressed for time and stressed by the ‘requirements’ of the season, may forget that “so-and-so” who doubled parked is a person. I know. I’ve been there.
But each day is an opportunity to make the world around us brighter. If I think of that in very small terms, it’s not such a difficult thing to manage. What small steps can I take today to make the world more wonderful tomorrow? How can we make this season about time, versus dollars spent? How can we give Love – the gift that when given, is exponentiated.
For us, the Winter Market is a step in the right direction. Bringing a renewed sense of wonder to our little corner of Locust & Oak Street is a small but worthwhile effort. I have the rare opportunity to see this thing through with my family by my side… so it feels a little like planning a massive Christmas party.
As we plan for what looks to be a very busy week, know that we are thinking of all of you and your families too, and how we can make this holiday season a magical one. | 2019-04-26T01:56:32 | https://wundermarkets.org/restoring-our-sense-of-wonder/ |
Jiang Cheng walked away but left behind that spooky mask on the table. Lan Jinyao’s eyes locked on the mask, her heart distraught with anxiety.
Jiang Cheng had kidnapped her, but what did he want to do later? Could it be that he wanted to drag her to hell with him again? If the person who’d kidnapped her was Jiang Cheng all along, then who was the one who’d died in the sea of fire?
All these questions were circling her mind, tangling themselves into a complete mess.
As she lay in bed, she gradually calmed down.
When Lan Jinyao quieted down, she suddenly noticed that the sound echoing in her ears became louder and clearer. It was the sound of waves crashing against rocks!
Lan Jinyao’s eyes lit up at this thought. Did this mean that Jiang Cheng had brought her back to the island where the filming crew was located? It was daybreak now, so the crew must still be on the island. They shouldn’t have left yet.
She briefly checked her surroundings. This room was brightly lit and decorated in almost the same way as the room she’d previously stayed in on the island, just a bit more luxurious.
She couldn’t call anyone else’s name. Otherwise, her real intentions would‘ve been exposed. Besides, even if the crew really hadn’t left yet and came to her rescue, Jiang Cheng would surely rush here one step ahead of them. In that case, her life would be at risk.
She shouted his name several times. Soon after, hurried footsteps could be heard coming from the door, and Jiang Cheng entered the room.
On the other hand, Lan Jinyao felt disappointed because no one else came to save her.
The nervous look on his face...it didn’t seem like he was faking it. At least, that was what Lan Jinyao had thought.
Soon, however, she realised that her guess was incorrect. This man’s train of thought had always been undecipherable, so she wouldn’t be able to guess it so easily.
She’d thought that her acting skills were impeccable, but in fact, her act was easily seen through by Jiang Cheng.
While talking, the corners of Jiang Cheng’s lips slightly curled up, revealing a sinister smile that made Lan Jinyao’s hair stand on end.
As expected, Lan Jinyao’s last glimmer of hope was extinguished; her eyelids slightly drooped, concealing the disappointment contained within her eyes.
One of his hands was about to touch her hair, but Lan Jinyao instantly tilted her head, making him touch air instead. She’d initially thought that he’d become angry, but he was still all smiles and it didn’t seem like he’d get mad at all.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Upon hearing that person’s subtle voice, Lan Jinyao’s eyes suddenly lit up again, and she intently stared at the door.
Upon hearing him say this, that little bit of excitement in Lan Jinyao’s heart completely vanquished.
That was right; this was Jiang Cheng’s territory. He wouldn’t let just anyone in. Even that person who’d knocked earlier was one of his people. There was no way they would help her escape from here.
The person who came in was an aunt in her work uniform, somewhere in her fifties. She held a tray in her hands, and on it was a bowl of soup or something. Lan Jinyao noticed that from the moment this aunt stepped in, her head was hung low and she didn’t dare to look around.
The moment the aunt opened the lid, a strong smell of medicine infiltrated Lan Jinyao’s nostrils. For a moment, her heart leapt into her throat. In fact, Jiang Cheng shouldn’t know that she was pregnant, so, what was this medicine for?
Her hands and feet were bound; the rope used was also very short, so if Jiang Cheng wanted to force the medicine down her throat, she wouldn’t be able to escape.
At this thought, the panic she felt in her heart inexplicably increased by tenfold.
“What do you want to do?” Lan Jinyao asked with a slightly trembling voice. She looked like a pointy hedgehog, and even her gaze was extremely ferocious; as if she’d bite Jiang Cheng if he made a move.
Lan Jinyao repeatedly shook her head. She was never worried that Jiang Cheng would hurt her. The thing that she was worried about was that he’d not let the child in her stomach off the hook. This body was Chen Meimei’s; the child also carried Chen Meimei’s blood.
Lan Jinyao intently stared at that bowl of soup. When she ascertained that it was chicken soup with some unknown medicinal herbs, her heart tensed up a bit.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng suddenly laughed, his eerie laughter reverberating around the room.
Lan Jinyao’s eyes widened in shock when she heard this. At this moment, she was feeling utterly remorseful.
She kept scolding herself inwardly: Who told you to be so stupid? Now, you’re stuck with this madman! This time, how are you going to get yourself out of this mess? | 2019-04-20T07:09:08 | https://www.volarenovels.com/novel/rebirth-of-a-star/roas-chapter-171 |
THE EHUDSON AMERICAN TEE REPRESENTS OUR COUNTRY AND ALL ITS GLORY. I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.
It was my grandparents anniversary & since we love them so much & they feel the same way, we decided to give them a shirt with a family picture of just grandkids & grandparents. They absolutely loved it & can twin whenever they want.
All of the Orange & Blue shirts were through DesignAShirt.com, for our 33 US based project team members, and the workers from the project in Rancho Arriba, Dominican Republic, where we finished the construction of a Child Development Center and orphanage.
I stumbled upon a picture of my Uncle Jesse at a family reunion a few years back, and I had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to use it ever since. He was this cute little kid in a striped shirt and a SWEET comb-over. If you know Uncle Jesse now, you know he doesn't have any hair, and he absolutely hates that picture. Well, we decided to order a bunch of shirts for his 51st birthday, and he was totally surprised!

We are delighted to publish this literature review on ‘The relationship between reading age, education and life outcomes‘, conducted for Sound Training in 2016, now Lexonik.
The review examines in detail the relationship between reading ability and this wide range of negative life outcomes in order to highlight the profoundly negative consequences, to the individual and the economy, of low literacy levels.
The relationships between reading ability, education and wider life outcomes are complex and difficult to establish. Whilst poor reading may cause unemployment for some individuals, not all poor readers are unemployed. However, on balance the existing literature suggests that reading is a crucially important component of achieving success in education and throughout life. | 2019-04-23T04:05:56 | https://www.lkmco.org/the-relationship-between-reading-age-education-and-life-outcomes/ |

The Phantom cruiser is one of three latest additions to Honda Shadow lineup. Ever since its release, it draws attention. Now, the 2018 Honda Shadow Phantom is on the way, with new features and options. It will use the same 750 cc engine with all characteristics of Shadow bikes. The highlight of this motorcycle is low seating position. After Shadow Phantom, Honda could come out with new Shadow Aero bike, which is not available since the 2016 year model.
The engine of the 2018 Honda Shadow Phantom is a 745 cc unit with the liquid cooling system. This drivetrain is very economical, with the fuel economy of 56 mpg combined. With a fuel tank of 3.7 gallons, the 2018 Shadow Phantom has a range around 200 miles. A V-twin engine combines electric starter, 79×76 mm bore and stroke, and 9.6:1 compression ratio. The manual transmission has 5 gears. Valve configuration is SOHC, and brakes are discs for front wheel and drum on the rear one.
The seating position of the 2018 Honda Shadow Phantom is very low. Whoever loves cruising will like this bike because of its saddle. At 26 inches, drivers will have the impression as they almost touch the ground. The front wheel is 17 inches and rear 15-inch. The wheelbase of the 2018 Shadow Phantom is 65 inches long, and curb weight, with all liquids, is 550 pounds. We are still waiting for confirmation of color options. Buyers will be able to upgrade the bike with backrest tall, or many bags and extra carriers.
The major rival for 2018 Honda Shadow Phantom will be Suzuki Boulevard S40. Also, Kawasaki and Harley-Davidson are there with few models. Nevertheless, Honda fans can find the alternative for Shadow Phantom in smaller, Rebel 500 bike. The 2018 Phantom will cost $7,800, which is even more than Harley’s Street model under 750 cc. | 2019-04-21T08:16:10 | http://2017hondanews.com/2018-honda-shadow-phantom/ |
Police have named a 39-year-old man who died on a Stoke-on-Trent street at the weekend.
John Hughes died after collapsing on Pevensey Grove, Longton at around 6.45pm on Saturday evening.
Paramedics were unable to save John, who was from Longton, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
A Staffordshire Police spokesman said: "We can confirm that the man who sadly passed away on Pevensey Grove, Longton on Saturday November 25 was 39-year-old John Hughes from Longton.
"John collapsed in Pevensey Grove at around 6:45pm. Despite the best efforts of paramedics, he passed away a short time after.
"His family is being supported by specially trained officers and they have asked that their privacy is respected at this difficult time.
"The death is not considered suspicious and a report is being prepared for HM Coroner." | 2019-04-25T07:57:52 | https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/news/stoke-on-trent-news/police-name-39-year-old-845305 |

I want to ask about peer detect, based on this statement "Peers detect each other with TCP Option 76. To trigger peers to come online, start a new TCP session."
I has testing in lab, when I open network sharing windows and status come UP but when status back idle/down, I reload few times sharing folder but status not come UP, I must close window and open link share \\PC-02 again to get status UP.
This mean TCP connection state for 'related-connection' cannot use to trigger peer?
I Think using ping (icmp) to trigger from another wanos the best way to make sure peer still UP so wanos not passthrough the traffic or maybe there is something option in wanos to auto send TCP option 76 from one wanos to another peer with interval where users can config it.
Silver Peak is the same as well. When testing in the lab the TCP sessions needs to be resetted when enabling Boost.
This is new in v4 since we now auto detect which sessions to optimize and which to leave alone. If the TCP session is seen on both appliances, then it is eligible to be optimized. If a session is only seen on one appliance but not the other, then it is bypassed. Hence, MultiSite has been removed and configuring Traffic Policies are now optional. This is a big step forward considering that these are often miss-configured in v3.
As like the other vendors, this is only expected to be used in a lab/test environment. Under normal production environments it would not be normal to reset TCP sessions in order to force a TCP reconnect to start optimization for a particular application like CIFS/SMB.
As for the ping idea, it is not really workable. The remote peer could be removed from the inline position but still respond to ICMP and even wanos control traffic like PLR and RTT measurements may still flow between the sites. This would cause the peers to remain "Active" causing the device that is inline to keep optimization alive. This would cause a blackout for optimized traffic. Better to be safe and only optimize while valid traffic is seen. When one of the peers are removed or moved where traffic flow is not correct, the peers should go into Idle state to avoid traffic blackout.
Test in a production network. If you still see peers Idle occasionally but want to force them to "Active" increase the peer timeout value under settings.
Thanks for your explained, one more question, are Router mode has removed from V4 ?
I see only Bridge and Tunnel mode, how I can mix for 2 device, where one device have only 1 NIC and other have 2 NIC.
And, can I modify default policymap port, I want to optimize RDP (3389), does this work if I add rule #99 to allow RDP trafict to optimize?
Router mode is not supported in Express. | 2019-04-21T14:03:39 | http://wanos.co/forum/index.php?topic=273.msg1354 |

Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield) lives in the walls of the Paris train station. The 12-year-old, much like his late clock-making father (Jude Law), is something of a mechanical genius, and with his drunken uncle Claude (Ray Winstone) mysteriously away, it is up to him to make sure all of the station's clocks run with their usual precision. To do so, he must avoid the constant badgering of the facility's chief inspector (Sacha Baron Cohen), whose main joy in life is ridding the massive building of orphans by taking them away to the orphanage.
But Hugo isn't just intent on making sure the clocks continue ticking. He is also consumed with a passion to rebuild a broken automaton his father once discovered in a museum's attic. He is sure that by fixing it, he will reveal a final message from his dearly departed dad, that its words will give him some sort of reason as to why these troubles have befallen him and help the lad discover his life's purpose. What he does not know is that this quest will also lead him to the mysterious Georges Méliès (Ben Kinglsey), and with the help of the old man's free-spirited goddaughter Isabelle (Chloë Grace Moretz), Hugo will change more lives for the better than just his own.
Based on the beloved novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick, legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese's (Shutter Island, The Departed) 3D adaptation Hugo is at times a visual and emotional marvel that moved me to euphoric tears. Its sensational final 30 minutes are a celebration of the cinematic medium, a jovial harkening to the days of silent film and childlike imagination that speaks to the very best of who we are. It is a miraculous achievement that Hugo, during this home stretch, engages on levels and in ways few other films can admit to, and as such, it makes a decided case to be considered as one of the year's finest achievements.
Yet there are issues. Scorsese and screenwriter John Logan (Rango, The Aviator) is not entirely successful in translating Selznick's prose to the big screen. The entire subplot involving the inspector's never-ending quest to capture Hugo gets old far too fast, and there are moments where the movie dips into a state of juvenile sentimentality more suited to a Nickelodeon or Disney Channel sitcom than to high drama. More so, while I was never bored by the proceedings, it does take the movie a bit of time to hit its stride, and as wonderful as Hugo and Isabelle's friendship climactically proves to be, getting there took a tad more effort than it needed to.
But no filmmaker, not even James Cameron with Avatar, has used the 3D process in such a profound and intimate way. There were moments where I could actually feel myself disappearing within the frame, becoming one with the wispy bits of dust and spiraling layers of smoke filtering through it. This is as immersive a motion picture as any I have ever had the pleasure to experience, and if this is truly the future of 3D as it pertains to cinema, then I might finally have to reconsider my reticence toward the technology.
More than that, though, Scorsese has found a way to extrapolate on his love for the camera and the cinematic medium in a way that speaks universally to the child within us all. Hugo is more than a history lesson; it is a love letter, beautifully conveying the importance and significance of the early days of moviemaking and lovingly showcasing how those first moving images of trains, crowds mingling, and men journeying to the moon shaped the filmmakers of today. It enraptures the soul, engages the intellect, and connects in an emotional way that had me mesmerized. I could not look away from the screen, and the smile never left my face during the third act's bit of blissful delirium.
Yet do not misunderstand, what makes all this borderline brilliant is that Scorsese never forgets about his characters, never loses sight of Hugo's story or how his journey plays upon Méliès and his family. What is discovered comes from a character-driven place that is as distinct as it is wonderful, adding to the film's innate power to charm and to beguile and proving once again the best stories are always the ones you can relate to on a personal level.
This review could go on forever. There is so much more to talk about, so much just on a technical front - whether it be Howard Shore's (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) score, Robert Richardson's (Inglourious Basterds) cinematography, or Dante Ferretti's (The Black Dahlia) eye-popping production design - I don't even know where to begin. I could go on about the intricacies of the script, the delicate and subtlety complex nature of the majority of the performances (although Cohen did get on my nerves at times), or how Moretz's use of the word 'clandestine' made me shiver in absolute giggly glee.
The point is that, even with its flaws, Hugo is such a wondrous achievement on so many different levels that trying to go into detail in regard to them all borders on impossible. For me, the end result is that Scorsese has manufactured a motion picture that articulates everything I love and adore about cinema, but has done so in a way that also speaks to the greater angels within us all and to the better people each and every one of us hopes on some level to be. It is, in a word, sublime, and here's hoping general audiences will take the time to discover its heartwarming magic for themselves. | 2019-04-25T02:28:31 | http://www.sgn.org/sgnnews39_50/page32.cfm |

This regulation prescribes policies and procedures for investigating the circumstances of disease, injury, or death of a soldier. It provides standards and considerations used in determining line of duty (LD) status.
Line of duty determinations are essential for protecting the interest of both the individual concerned and the U.S. Government where service is interrupted by injury, disease, or death. Soldiers who are on active duty (AD) for a period of more than 30 days will not lose their entitlement to medical and dental care, even if the injury or disease is found to have been incurred not in LD and/or because of the soldier’s intentional misconduct or willful negligence, Section 1074, Title 10, United States Code (10 USC 1074). A person who becomes a casualty because of his or her intentional misconduct or willful negligence can never be said to be injured, diseased, or deceased in LD. Such a person stands to lose substantial benefits as a consequence of his or her actions; therefore, it is critical that the decision to categorize injury, disease, or death as not in LD only be made after following the deliberate, ordered procedures described in this regulation.
An enlisted soldier who is unable to perform duties for more than one day because of his or her intemperate use of drugs or alcohol or because of disease or injury resulting from the soldier’s misconduct is liable after returning to duty to serve for a period that, when added to the period that he or she served before the absence from duty, amounts to the term for which he or she was enlisted or inducted (10 USC 972).
b. Longevity and retirement multiplier.
Eligibility for increases in pay because of longevity and the amount of retirement pay to which a soldier may be entitled depends on the soldier’s cumulative years of creditable service. An enlisted soldier who is unable to perform duties for more than one day because of his or her intemperate use of drugs or alcohol or because of disease or injury resulting from misconduct is not entitled to include such periods in computing creditable service in accordance with the Department of Defense Financial Management Regulation (DODFMR).
Any soldier on AD who is absent from regular duties for a continuous period of more than one day because of disease that is directly caused by and immediately following his or her intemperate use of drugs or alcohol is not entitled to pay for the period of that absence. Pay is not forfeited for absence from duty caused by injuries. Pay is not forfeited for disease not directly caused by and immediately following the intemperate use of drugs and alcohol.
d. Disability retirement and severance pay.
1204, 1206, and 1207). Physical Evaluation Board determinations are made independently and are not controlled by LD determinations. However, entitlement to disability compensation may depend on those facts that have been officially recorded and are on file within the Department of the Army (DA). This includes reports and investigations submitted in accordance with this regulation.
(6) while remaining overnight immediately before serving on funeral honors duty under 10 USC 12503 or 32 USC 115 at or in the vicinity of the place at which the soldier was to so serve, if the place is outside reasonable commuting distance from the soldier’s residence.
f. Benefits administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA).
In determining whether a veteran or his or her survivors or family members are eligible for certain benefits, the DVA makes its own determinations with respect to LD. These determinations rest upon the evidence available. Usually this consists of those facts that have been officially recorded and are on file within DA, including reports and LD investigations submitted in accordance with the provisions of this regulation. Statutes governing these benefits generally require that disabling injury or death be service connected, which means that the disability was incurred or aggravated in LD (38 USC 101). The statutory criteria for making such determinations are in 38 USC 105.
Line of duty investigations are conducted essentially to arrive at a determination of whether misconduct or negligence was involved in the disease, injury, or death and, if so, to what degree. Depending on the circumstances of the case, an LD investigation may or may not be required to make this determination.
(1) In the case of disease, except as described in paragraphs c (1) and (8) below.
(2) In the case of injuries clearly incurred as a result of enemy action or attack by terrorists.
b. In all other cases of death or injury, except injuries so slight as to be clearly of no lasting significance (for example, superficial lacerations or abrasions or mild heat injuries), an LD investigation must be conducted.
due to misconduct or willful negligence.
(2) Injury or death involving the abuse of alcohol or other drugs.
(3) Self-inflicted injuries or possible suicide.
(4) Injury or death incurred while AWOL.
(5) Injury or death that occurs while an individual was en route to final acceptance in the Army.
(6) Death of a USAR or ARNG soldier while participating in authorized training or duty.
(7) Injury or death of a USAR or ARNG soldier while traveling to or from authorized training or duty.
(8) When a USAR or ARNG soldier serving on an AD tour of 30 days or less is disabled due to disease.
(9) In connection with an appeal of an unfavorable determination of abuse of alcohol or other drugs (para 4–10 a).
(10) When requested or directed for other cases. | 2019-04-25T16:43:01 | https://girightshotline.org/military-knowledge-base/ar-600-8-4-line-of-duty-policy-procedures-and-investigations |

Akka implements a specific form called “parental supervision”. Actors can only be created by other actors—where the top-level actor is provided by the library—and each created actor is supervised by its parent. This restriction makes the formation of actor supervision hierarchies explicit and encourages sound design decisions. It should be noted that this also guarantees that actors cannot be orphaned or attached to supervisors from the outside, which might otherwise catch them unawares. In addition, this yields a natural and clean shutdown procedure for (sub-trees of) actor applications.
Lifecycle monitoring is implemented using a Terminated message to be received by the monitoring actor, where the default behavior is to throw a special DeathPactException if not otherwise handled. One important property is that the message will be delivered irrespective of the order in which the monitoring request and target’s termination occur, i.e. you still get the message even if at the time of registration the target is already dead.
The AllForOneStrategy is applicable in cases where the ensemble of children has so tight dependencies among them, that a failure of one child affects the function of the others, i.e. they are intricably linked. Since a restart does not clear out the mailbox, it often is best to terminate the children upon failure and re-create them explicitly from the supervisor (by watching the children’s lifecycle); otherwise you have to make sure that it is no problem for any of the actors to receive a message which was queued before the restart but processed afterwards.
Normally stopping a child (i.e. not in response to a failure) will not automatically terminate the other children in an all-for-one strategy, that can easily be done by watching their lifecycle: if the Terminated message is not handled by the supervisor, it will throw a DeathPathException which (depending on its supervisor) will restart it, and the default preRestart action will terminate all children. Of course this can be handled explicitly as well.
Please note that creating one-off actors from an all-for-one supervisor entails that failures escalated by the temporary actor will affect all the permanent ones. If this is not desired, install an intermediate supervisor; this can very easily be done by declaring a router of size 1 for the worker, see Routing (Scala) or Routing (Java). | 2019-04-20T19:25:06 | https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.0.5/general/supervision.html |
The Lakers also survived despite their third straight game without suspended starters Brandon Ingram and Rajon Rondo. "[One] of the all-time Laker greats".
"It feels great; it's a win, period", said James, who got to rest in the fourth quarter with the Lakers up by as much as 27.
Through four games, McGee is averaging 16.2 points, 7 rebounds and 3.2 blocks in 24 minutes, and he made it clear afterward that he can play more and is not restricted by having asthma. "We were able to get them out of it in the later stages of the first quarter, and then took it into the second quarter and into the half, all the way to the end of the game".
"I just felt like my clutch badge came on", laughed Stephenson, who had 12 points and four assists.
Ingram will miss one more game for his role in the Lakers' brawl with the Houston Rockets last weekend, while Rondo can return Saturday in San Antonio.
Jamal Murray scored 22 points and Monte Morris had 20, but Denver couldn't answer the Lakers' rally led by James, who posted his third career triple-double in Staples Center for his third different team.
"A lot of people always try to discredit what he can do offensively but they never give him enough credit what he does defensively", James continued.
Bryant watched the Lakers erase an eight-point fourth-quarter deficit with a 15-2 blitz in just over three minutes.
The two-time MVP, 30, finished three points short of his career high of 54 and three three-pointers short of breaking his National Basketball Association record of 13 made in a single game as he did not enter for the fourth quarter. The Ukrainian guard scored his first National Basketball Association points one night earlier in Phoenix.

Lubiprostone is used for the treatment of long-term constipation (chronic idiopathic constipation), opioid-induced constipation (OIC) in adults with chronic non-cancer pain and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS, a common disorder of the large intestine that causes abdominal pain, cramps, bloating, gas, diarrhea and constipation).
Lubiprostone belongs to a class of medications called laxatives. It activates proteins called chloride channels (ClC-2) in the intestine resulting in increased flow of fluids into the bowel and increased motility that facilitates easy passage of stools thereby relieving constipation and associated symptoms. | 2019-04-20T16:20:01 | http://rxod.in/salt-view.php?salt_=Lubiprostone |

We’ve made comparing vehicles easier, quicker and as risk-free as it gets.
When you read a vehicle inspection report, you need to know the inspection was carried out thoroughly, accurately and to a nationally-recognised set of standards.
At Manheim, every vehicle we auction has been carefully examined and graded by one of our qualified vehicle inspectors. Not just that, our inspectors are accredited by NAMA, the National Association of Motor Auctions. This means they work to a strict set of independently approved standards, using a clearly-defined 6-tier grading system so you know exactly what condition to expect.
NAMA grading is particularly useful if you’re buying online, because it gives added transparency to the whole issue of vehicle inspections and grading, and this means extra peace of mind. And the fee for all this extra peace of mind that comes from NAMA grading? There isn’t one – it’s all part of the Manheim service.
To see the six NAMA standards of vehicle grading and find out what each one means click the link below.
If you have a query about our vehicle grading and inspections, or you'd just like to know more, contact us and we'll get back to you. | 2019-04-23T20:57:16 | https://www.manheim.co.uk/our-services/more-solutions/vehicle-grading |
More information on the land acquisition issue can be found here.
The provisions of this Bill shall not apply to acquisitions under 16 existing legislations including the Special Economic Zones Act, 2005, the Atomic Energy Act, 1962, the Railways Act, 1989, etc.
It is not clear whether Parliament has jurisdiction to impose rehabilitation and resettlement requirements on private purchase of agricultural land.
The requirement of a Social Impact Assessment for every acquisition without a minimum thresholdmay delay the implementation of certain government programmes.
Projects involving land acquisition and undertaken by private companies or public private partnerships require the consent of 80 per cent of the people affected. However, no such consent is required in case of PSUs.
The market value is based on recent reported transactions. This value is doubled in rural areas to arrive at the compensation amount. This method may not lead to an accurate adjustment for the possible underreporting of prices in land transactions.
The government can temporarily acquire land for a maximum period of three years. There is no provision for rehabilitation and resettlement in such cases. | 2019-04-18T12:27:14 | https://www.prsindia.org/billtrack/the-land-acquisition-rehabilitation-and-resettlement-bill-2011-1978 |
This week we watched Modern Times (Chaplin 1936), read a recent article on it by Lawrence Howe (which contains some useful contextualisation for the film, even though I am not wholly convinced by its argument), had a brief introduction to Marxist ideas about capitalism and the class society it produces, and then spent quite a while discussing some basic essay writing skills.
Capitalism, Marx argued, is defined by the exploitative relationship between the bourgeoisie (or capitalist class), who own and control the means of production (from factories to financial instruments), and the proletariat (or working class), who sell their labour for a wage which is worth less than the value created by their labour. All that extra value they create is used to pay for raw materials, plant, etc; and all that is left over from that – surplus value, in Marx’s term – is taken by the capitalist. Although there might be small individual and partial exceptions, the capitalist will always look to increase production of surplus value – by introducing ‘rationalised’ production processes and increasing automation, by lowering or freezing wages, by extending the working day (including reducing breaks), by offering productivity bonuses, by resisting unionisation of the workforce and health/safety legislation, by casualising the workforce, by not paying the costs of pollution, by relocating to countries with weaker unions/workplace protections/ environmental laws, and by avoiding/evading taxes and manipulating political systems.
Before discussing Modern Times, we took a look at several short sequences from Metropolis (Lang 1927), a film I really wanted to include on the module but which is too long for the screening session (and perhaps in that respect a bit cruel as an introduction to silent cinema – although next week we will be watching Man with a Movie Camera, so I am not sure where the greater cruelty lies).
Lang’s film spatialise class relations in a manner that will become common in dystopian visions, and also in the real world. Here the spatial division is vertical, recalling the literal and figurative descents into poverty in Gaskell’s Mary Barton. The garden in which the city’s wealthy youths play is somewhere high up and pristine. Freder’s father’s office – as controller of the city – is also elevated above all, symbolising his pan optical powers (making him an important figure when we dip our toes into a little de Certeau in a few weeks). Then there is the magnificent metropolis itself, beneath which are the machines which sustain it. And beneath the level even of the machines, as Lang’s opening sequence shows, is the city of the workers.
We also took a look at some of the machinery in the film: the 10-hour shift clock and 24-hour clock over which the shift change is announced (we have already seen Lang’s obsession with clocks in M), the rather abstract machine which overheats and transforms, in Freder’s eyes, into a barbaric ancient idol into whose maw the workers are fed; and the even more abstract clock machine that Freder undertakes to operate so as to free an exhausted worker, only to become a kind of knackered Christ figure himself as he struggles to keep up with its incomprehensible demands for repetitive motion.
Some of this imagery is picked up on directly in Chaplin’s film, which also begins with the image of a clock and workers trudging to the factory like lambs to the slaughter.
As ever, a lot of these terms sort of overlap or seem to be describing the same things from different angles.
Such control systems or disciplinary structures as the factory represents also provide most of the other key locations of the film: asylum, prison, orphanage, department store, restaurant.
Talking about the department store – designed to move customers through the space in such a way as to organise and prolong their experience within the retail environment (think about how IKEA has no windows or clocks and only one route through the warehouse – and, at least according to one of the class, blocks cell phone reception) – also facilitated a way to think about the interconnections of production and consumption.
Then it was time for a break, for the grand unveiling of the essay questions, for reminders to do the library quiz online within 24 hours, and for essay-writing advice.
The latter is especially tough, I find, to do for a whole group, none of whom have yet submitted any work. Makes it hard to know where to begin, what particular strengths and weaknesses each student has. So we did some very basic stuff.
On stucture, taking Strunk and White’s advice: ‘Make the paragraph the unit of composition: one paragraph to each topic.’ So a brief introduction to what is going to be discussed, probably somewhere between 5 and 8 paragraphs, each devoted to making, developing and supporting a single idea in a chain of ideas/paragraphs, and a short conclusion tying it all together. For a 1200 word essay, the introduction and conclusion should probably need no more than a sentence or two each. Revise the introduction once the essay is completed so as to ensure it describes what the essay actually does, rather than what you intended to do (the initial introduction can also be used to help think through revisions to early drafts). No new ideas to be introduced in the conclusion – and never end with a quotation (it is supposed to be your conclusion).
Using spell-check (make sure it is set to English UK; remember it won’t catch certain kinds of errors, such as typing ‘form’ when you mean ‘from’). Use grammar-check sparingly, as typically you need to understand grammar in order to make sense of its recommendations. Instead, concentrate on becoming a better writer (obligatory plug for the genuinely excellent kids’ book, The English Repair Kit by Angela Burt and William Vandyck).
We covered rules about laying how to quote and paraphrase and reference (MLA-style).
Finally, we thought about writing in a more formal academic style, but how that did not necessarily mean writing in long sentences. Focus on short, clear sentences, and work in length-variety where necessary – focus on the connection between what you want to say and the best way to say it clearly.

By imagining future cities, sf often highlights contemporary concerns about the city. See, for example, Yevgeny Zamyatin’s We (1924), Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1932), George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-four (1949), Frederik Pohl and Cyril Kornbluth’s The Space Merchants (1953), Harry Harrison’s Make Room! Make Room! (1966), John Brunner’s Stand on Zanzibar (1968), Thomas Disch’s 334 (1972), Marge Piercy’s Woman on the Edge of Time (1976), William Gibson’s Neuromancer (1984), Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash (1992), Colson Whitehead’s The Intuitionist (1999), Tricia Sullivan’s Maul (2003) and Nnedi Okorafor’s Lagoon (2014).
The same is true of many sf films, such as Metropolis (Lang 1927), Things to Come (Menzies 1936), Alphaville (Godard 1965), Clockwork Orange (Kubrick 1971), THX 1138 (Lucas 1971), Soylent Green (Fleischer 1973), Blade Runner (1982), Akira (Ôtomo 1988), Dark City (Proyas 1998), Minority Report (Spielberg 2002), Code 46 (Winterbottom 2003), District 13 (Morel 2004), Children of Men (Cuarón 2006), La Antena (Sapir 2007) and In Time (Niccol 2011).
Modern Times was partly inspired by À Nous la Liberté (Clair 1931).
The Iron Heel is the incomplete memoir of Avis, written in 1932, on the eve of the Second Revolt. It recounts how, in 1912, she and her wealthy father met the revolutionary socialist, and her future husband, Ernest Everhard, and were won to his cause. Within a year, their lives are in disarray as the capitalist interests who dominate institutions and an increasingly tyrannical government seize complete control of America. This plutocratic oligarchy – dubbed ‘the Iron Heel’ by Ernest – forces the socialists underground. The novel ends with horrific descriptions of the destruction of Chicago in the failed First Revolt, and breaks off abruptly, leaving no account of the subsequent fifteen years. The memoir is introduced and edited by Anthony Meredith, writing in the year 409 B.O.M. (Brotherhood Of Man), the socialist era that follows three centuries of the Iron Heel.
In the first issue of Amazing Stories, Hugo Gernsback described the sf story as ‘a charming romance intermingled with scientific fact and prophetic vision’. To his list of exemplars – Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Edgar Allan Poe – Gernsback could have added Jack London. The Iron Heel reworks the ‘guided tour’ typical of the utopian novel: Avis, her father and Bishop Morehouse enter a new world – that of the immiserated, impoverished working class – and Ernest, their guide, explains in detail its logic and inner workings. The novel also anticipates the hard-sf which emerged from the pulp tradition (and which can still, arguably, be defined in Gernsback’s terms). The science in question is not, however, physics or astronomy but London’s idiosyncratic version of scientific socialism. The near-future events of the novel are predicated on a (vulgar) Marxist analysis of the process of capital accumulation and the cyclical crises it inevitably produces.
London’s extrapolative premises and technique are most obvious in the chapter ‘The Mathematics of a Dream’. Beginning with the ‘ABCs of commerce’ (108) – the production of value by labour and the extraction of surplus-value (profit) by the capitalist – Ernest takes his audience step-by-step through the logic of capital accumulation which leads to periods of overproduction and mass unemployment. His satiric proposal – that destruction of surpluses would be an effective way to deal with cyclical over-production, as in Frederik Pohl’s ‘The Midas Plague’ (1954) – is dismissed as absurd. But in a world in which, for example, agricultural subsidies are paid for deliberate underproduction to stabilise prices and ‘surplus’ crops are routinely destroyed (while people elsewhere starve), The Iron Heel’s prophetic value is difficult to ignore.
This denial of agency to the working class is indicative of the peculiar type of socialism, blended with aspects of Friedrich Nietzsche and with Herbert Spencer’s ‘survival of the fittest’ misunderstanding of evolution, advocated by London (who puts at least one of his own speeches/essays, ‘Revolution’, into Ernest’s mouth).
She conceives of him as a messiah – he is an eagle, a lamb, a lion, ‘the spirit of regnant labour’ (63), Christ – and longs to melt before him, to merge her ‘life completely into his’ (138). When they are on the run, Avis learns to take on a completely different appearance through controlling her body whereas Ernest requires cosmetic surgery to transform him: she is fluid, he is hard.
Avis, then, despite her origins, exemplifies what London’s socialism requires of the working class, ‘the People of the Abyss’. In the Chicago uprising, they are not only depicted as dumb beasts but as an inundation, a surging fluid mass. Without form or identity, they are to be shaped or sacrificed by the revolutionary party.
This system of images – rigidly armoured male bodies; women and the feminised masses as a threatening flood – is typical of the literature produced by the German Freikorps in the 1920s, many of whom later played significant roles in the SA and SS. And so at the heart of this ‘small folk Bible of scientific socialism’ we find a form of fascism.
North America and Asia are beneath the Iron Heel of the Oligarchs for 300 years, but as early as 1912 a wave of socialist revolutions swept the world, inspired and empowered by the general strike which prevented a war between the US and Germany. Perhaps it is such collective action and international solidarity that leads to the Brotherhood of Man.
This expression, which London also used as the title of his 1903 book of reportage on the London poor, is borrowed from HG Wells’s Anticipations of the Reaction of Mechanical and Human Progress upon Human Life and Thought (1901). | 2019-04-22T18:29:55 | https://markbould.com/tag/marx/ |
Meanwhile, the fear of radiation caused Germany and others to radically curtail their nuclear power generation. Thus we have people with “green” sensibilities, moving away from the one reliable power source that does not emit carbon.
It is two years since Japan’s 9.0- magnitude earthquake, one so powerful it shifted the position of the Earth’s figure axis by as much as 6 inches and moved Honshu, Japan’s main island, 8 feet eastward. The tsunami generated by the earthquake obliterated towns, drowned almost 20,000 people and left more than 300,000 homeless. Everyone living within 15 miles of Fukushima was evacuated; many are still in temporary housing. Some will never be able to return home.
More than 300,000 buildings were destroyed and another million damaged, including four reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on the northeast coast. The earthquake caused the immediate shutdown of this and three other nuclear-power facilities.
Since the earthquake, a powerful movement gained momentum to halt Japan’s use of nuclear energy, which provided 30 percent of the country’s electricity. The last of 54 nuclear reactors was shut down in May 2012. Two facilities were restarted in June 2012; 52 remain shut. Japan has therefore had to increase its imports of natural gas, low-sulfur crude oil and fuel oil at a substantial economic and environmental cost. Seventy-five percent of the country’s electricity now comes from fossil fuels.
Accustomed to large trade surpluses, Japan, in 2012, had a record $78 billion trade deficit, thanks to increased energy imports and a drop in exports as Japanese goods became more expensive to produce.
And what of the lasting threat from radiation? Remarkably, outside the immediate area of Fukushima, this is hardly a problem at all. Although the crippled nuclear reactors themselves still pose a danger, no one, including personnel who worked in the buildings, died fromradiation exposure. Most experts agree that future health risks from the released radiation, notably radioactive iodine-131 and cesiums-134 and – 137, are extremely small and likely to be undetectable.
Even considering the upper boundary of estimated effects, there is unlikely to be any detectable increase in cancers in Japan, Asia or the world except close to the facility, according to a World Health Organization report. There will almost certainly be no increase in birth defects or genetic abnormalities from radiation. | 2019-04-22T20:21:23 | http://attackmachine.com/2013/03/13/japans-radiation-threat-overblown/ |
When someone adds a product to their cart, with a quantity of 1, the rate was being calculated. But if we changed the product quantity to 2, the rate was doubled. It seems to be working as if the products will be shipping separately? They shouldn’t get charged for the shipping rate twice, only once. How do we make it so that it calculates this correctly and only charges them once for the shipping?
This issue can be easily resolved by changing the parcel packing option.
You must have selected “Pack items individually” in Parcel packing option (in plugin settings).
Kindly change that to “weight based“, because you are in need of weight based calculation (as I can make out from your last query).
Pack into boxes with weight and dimensions: If packing items individually does not suit to your business, then you can define required box sizes under Box Dimensions section. All the cart items are packed into custom boxes defined in Box Dimensions settings. The best fit box is auto chosen from the defined boxes. | 2019-04-25T00:13:03 | https://elextensions.com/knowledge-base/when-someone-adds-a-product-to-their-cart-with-a-quantity-of-1-the-rate-was-being-calculated-but-if-we-changed-the-product-quantity-to-2-the-rate-was-doubled/ |

Today, when you order "Chameleon Pieces by Woody Aragon", you'll instantly be emailed a Penguin Magic gift certificate. You can spend it on anything you like at Penguin, just like cash. Just complete your order as normal, and within seconds you'll get an email with your gift certificate.
4 Cards are chosen and lost in the deck. Woody pulls out a card, not one of the 4 selections, and what happens next has to be seen to be believed. Woody rips the card into 4 pieces, and with a magical blow, the pieces change to the first spectators card. He then squeezes the pieces and they magically change to the second spectators card. But it doesn't sot there!!! A gentle shake and the pieces morph into the third spectators card. The pieces change one last time into the spectators last card, and the pieces fuse together, making the card whole again so the spectators can examine!
i can tell this guy doesn't work for anyone, but convention crowds. impractical to buy a deck of gaffs and only be able to use 2 cards out of the 52, plus lapping and plus having spectators being able to recall not one but four cards. another wasted download. not recommended you purchase unless you have some people that come over to your house and waant to see your latest trick while they gather around the fireplace. | 2019-04-19T14:38:26 | http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S18131 |

When you've already got one of the best ranges of compact regulators in the market place there's really only one way to go ? even smaller! And that's exactly what the development engineers from automation control experts, SMC, have done with their new 14 mm wide compact manifold regulator -Series ARM5.Designed initially for the automotive and electronics industries, Series ARM5 can be directly or DIN rail mounted, and uses many of the same key features as the larger models in the ARM range, such as a backflow function as standard, a single unit type and an optional built-in pressure gauge. However this new, extremely compact series now includes a low 0.35 MPa pressure set option and the removable one-touch fittings can be changed to accommodate tube sizes of 4, 6 or 8 mm.With further options including centralised and individual supply types, this new compact ARM5 offers similar space, maintenance and time saving benefits as the existing ARM range. | 2019-04-19T10:51:08 | https://www.smc.eu/portal_ssl/WebContent/digital_catalog_2/jsp/view_descriptions.jsp?dc_product_id=162781 |

Evil Ash is a villain in the Evil Dead movies and is none other than Ash Williams himself, or - to be more accurate - the dark-half of Ash's personality given corporeal form by the evil spirits that he has spent his life battling (known as Deadites in the series).
Evil Ash began his "life" as an entity known as Bad Ash, who appeared out of a mirror during the events of Evil Dead II and proceeded to torment his heroic counterpart - trying to drive him mad - indeed the whole Bad Ash scenario was suggestive of Ash beginning to lose his sanity and could arguably be seen as Ash battling his inner-demons on a literal level.
At any rate after a confrontation of two Bad Ash is "killed" by the original Ash and is never heard of again until the plot of Army Of Darkness - by which time Bad Ash resurrected himself as the more powerful Evil Ash, this incarnation was completely immortal and made himself the leader of the Deadite armies in direct opposition to his heroic counterpart - who was reluctantly acting as a hero to a medieval army of his own (due to time-travel related mishaps). | 2019-04-21T01:08:54 | http://www.evildeadnews.com/2010/06/villains-wiki-evil-ash-evil-dead.html |
The Isle of Jersey belongs to the Channel Islands and lies in front of the coast of France in the vicinity of Brittany and Normandy. Jersey has a moderate maritime climate with mild winters and not too warm summers. According to the Köppen climate classification the Channel Isle of Jersey has a Cfb climate. Due to its situation in front of the French coast it benefits from the warm gulf stream in the winter months, which causes relatively warm sea-water. A consequence of the warm sea-water is that the air temperatures in the winter months do not easily drop below freezing-point. But the Isle is very sensitive to strong winds and even storms reaching the Channel from a western direction via The Atlantic. Therefore heavy storms with windforce 8, 9 or even 10 occur minimally a few times a year. In the summer months however the chance of these storms is small.
Jersey has an average annual 24 hour temperature of 11,6 degrees centigrade. This is comparable with the south coast of England. On a yearly basis a little fewer than two-thousand hours of sunshine are registered. Particularly the summer months are reasonably sunny with an average of 8 sunny hours a day. Many tropical destinations do not reach this score. In the winter months it is a few degrees warmer than in the Netherlands. Also in respect of the French continent the winters in Jersey pass with considerably less frost and snow. During the daytime the temperature seldom drops below freezing-point and at night it is often limited to slight night frost if it gets really cold. In the summer during the daytime the temperature is approximately twenty degrees. On an average no super weather for a sunny holiday, but excellent weather to enjoy the Isle. During warmer periods temperatures in the summer can rise to about or even a little above 25 degrees. However tropical values of thirty degrees or even more are not registered that often. With 175 rainy days per year Jersey cannot be called distinctly wet or dry. In the winter months there is on an average fairly much rain. In the months of December, January and February more than a hundred millimeters per month are registered based on averages of more than one year. On the other hand the summers are rather dry. In the height of summer there is on an average only some forty to fifty millimeters per month with which Jersey is relatively dry.
The figures below are based on registered weather information of more than one year and are an average for Jersey.
Remark: locally slight deviations may occur.
Climate figures come in handy but do not offer a total impression of the climate and the possible weather circumstances within a particular period. You cannot often find in figures how big the chance is of wintry weather, (extreme) heat or hurricanes. Therefore we monthly offer useful extra climate information. | 2019-04-19T00:25:18 | http://whatstheweatherlike.org/jersey/ |

Henry was adopted on 11/17/11 by Kirsten Platt, age 7, who promised her mom, Dr. Jenni Doll, that she would scoop his litter box if he could come live with them. Kirsten has known hundreds of witty kitties in her short life, but she fell in love with Henry. Scooping and cuddling are both right on track!
Biography: Henry is a stray who had been cared for by the folks at Waverly Pet Rescue for about six months. He looks kind of like a Scottish Fold, but really isn't. Henry probably had a case of severe ear mites when he was young, and he permanently damaged his ears after scratching them too much. They were in such bad shape that he had to have surgery in November, 2009. He is now totally recovered, and only needs to have his ears cleaned occasionally with a cotton swab to make sure they stay clean. Henry was pretty shy when he was first rescued, but the extra TLC while recovering from his surgery really brought him out of his shell. He became more active and friendly, and is now a big sweetheart. Henry loves spending time outside, and sits high up on a shelf watching everything below him. In fact, he spends so much time outside we were concerned he wasn't eating (not that he doesn't have a pound or two to spare!!). But now that he's learned the routine, he knows to come inside for his canned food breakfast and some petting in the mornings. Henry would be the perfect lap cat for some lucky soul!! | 2019-04-24T22:09:25 | http://wittykitties.org/id157.html |

Even before a full review of the new Off Roader (8297), I decided to go for a detailed look on the new TECHNIC parts coming with it.
The first three, can also be acquired for spare with the new PF Motor Set (8293) which includes one Pole-Reverser one Lights set and two U-joints.
A fellow LEGO Ambassador (Didier Enjary, for FreeLUG) sent me some scan images from the new PF Pole-Reverser, inner details (images and comments below).
Most of the remaining images in this post were also sent by another TBs reader from UK (Mike Hatton, Parax), despite being also available at his BS folder.
This is the new PF generation of the former TECHNIC Pole-Reverser (6551).
The switch reverses C1/C2 but, of course, not Ground/9V (read about on the PF RC Protocol specification, here).
There is a neutral position (three cranks).
You can miss the fact it is in a centered position (neutral) and then you may think the switch is out of order.
One wire is now permanently attached.
There is no center anymore able to rotate and inverting polarity continuously (driven by a motor for instance, if no handle is in use). This feature made possible some special arrangements in the past.
Handle is now able to turn about 15º maximum, in each direction.
The PF lights constitute a great addition to the TECHNIC sets and will certainly find a wide range of applications.
Each cable includes two lights and assumes an 'Y' configuration.
At one end there is a PF connector (top and bottom) and at the other other side, two ends with one LED each.
The LEDs seem to be about medium brightness, so hopefully they shouldn't "eat" too much power from the battery.
The LEDs form factor is also such that they fit into any TECHNIC pin hole, like those in the TECHNIC bricks and beams (thinner or thicker), any brick tube and the bottom of any 1x1 round plate for instance (however a bit loose in these last two cases).
In conjugation with any colored transclear part, these LEDs can produce a cool colored light effect.
Each cable is 400mm length which comprises 245mm (LEDs to middle brick), plus 155mm (middle brick to PF connector).
The new U-joint is a shorter version from the previous ones, which appears with several of the new 2008 TECHNIC sets (2x in 8293, 2x in 8294, 4x in 8297).
Below a photo with the three generations of U-joints, LEGO ever made.
I've already commented about the new U-joint at the Excavator (8294) review, anyway I'll copy it here too.
"...the new U-joints (3rd generation), whose main characteristic is the fact they got a shorter length. 3L instead of the 4L in the former version (already 31 years old). This shorter version will allow to use them, where it was impossible to do before and is of special interest to route the driving axles into the new LAs. One of the main concerns about this new U-joints was their potential fragility, which was already the main problem from the former version, as they are know to easily break under high torque conditions. Hopefully TLG may have improved this fact as they look a bit brighter than usual, which may suggest a different kind of ABS being now used also for this part. I can't be sure, so we will see once the users reports will start to come."
With the new Off Roader, there comes also one differential with a new design.
This new design is also the 3rd generation of the LEGO TECHNIC differentials, as illustrated below.
and on the left the new design (2008).
Again the new differential is smaller than its predecessor (3L wide in opposition the former 4L version), however it uses inside the same 12 teeth bevel gears as before (only the 1st generation used different ones).
Instead, it got a 28 teeth bevel without clutch.
The other extreme got no gear but its design with four inner tabs, suggests there is still an hope for a future clutch mechanism, despite it is incompatible with actual Driving Ring and Driving Ring Extension. Lets see if LEGO designers have new Driving Ring on the way for the future, to address this issue.
The differential 28 teeth gear, has a few shorter teeth (easily seen at the 2nd image above) because of a mystery slot... the wider (shallow) slot is for the present bevel gears but the deeper narrow slot is for something else... (it is too narrow for a linkarm). Because of the slot, the bevel gears only go in from one side and don't drop through!
As bevels tend to slip quite easily, the shorter teeth can make this even worse... Lets wait and see what other users will report about this new part.
It only interfaces it other bevel gears, which forces transmission to be perpendicular.
Can't be used with a chain.
Can't be used with standard or worm gears.
As AVCampos wrote in a comment to another post, lets hope "this new differential won't completely replace its predecessor, but rather supplement it where size matters".
This new differential easily meshes with a 20 teeth double bevel, as in the present Off Roader design.
In the central part of the differential, we can see a block that prevents internal bevel gears from bending, which used to make them slip and lead to breaking gears.
And at last there are also new and smaller compact steering arms (towball couplings).
TECHNIC designers have used several versions of similar parts in the past, to design many vehicles steerings and suspensions, whose details have evolved along the time.
1L shorter ('5.5 x 2' against previous '6.5 x 2'), which is in concordance with also shortened U-joints.
A mix of pin-hole and axle-hole on the sides, for greater flexibility and in accordance with new design practices like in the Linear Actuators bracket design.
The new part on the left and a comparative with an older one, on the right.
Can't wait for the full review and the building myself!
That explains the size. Good finding!
That Explains a lot! the LEDs are not 9V! and do work in both directions.
Wonder if anyone can fit a timer in that brick for flashing or consant lights.
Changing the LEDs, would be easier but won't look so nice, as you need to cut actual ones and loose their "casing".
However there are probably some from those indicated by Philo, which match the TECHNIC hole diameter!?
Still you get the not so nice looking from the thermo retractile sleeve to cover the wires and soldering..
From what I can see in the pictures, the new LED pieces are a lost opportunity for LEGO: the 2x2 block reminds me immediately of the "old" 9V wires, with a 2x2 brick at each end to connect to other 9V parts. So, I guess it wouldn't be that much hard for LEGO to put 9V contacts in that block: that way, the LED piece could act as a 8886 Power Functions Extension Wire, or be supplied both from PF sources and 9V sources.
Also, I wonder if the LEDs can be "extended" with Exo-Force optical fibres... theoretically, all that would be needed would be a 1x1 round brick joining the LED and the fibre. Or one could replace the fibre with a flame piece to illuminate a City layout (I tried this with standard 9V bulbs, but they were too weak).
As for the differential, indeed I didn't notice that smaller inner gear slot until I read the post (but I guess I can be excused: I don't have the part myself)! That and the central block, which presently don't appear to have any function, shall be an interesting source of speculation over at least a few months.
What I don't understand is why didn't LEGO design the new pole reverser like the old model, with an axlehole for an optional handle: like Conchas wrote, this impossibility of 360º rotation is a big limitation.
Finally, regarding U-joints' strength, I think the most obvious way to improve it would be to increase the central pins' thickness. But that would require also a thicker axle, which would make LEGO piece compatibility very difficult. So, I won't be surprised if LEGO indeed makes the new joint in a different, harder plastic.
I'm buying the Off Roader pretty soon and I'll have a review posted on my website (http://tubtech.ning.com) soon after that. I will also post detailed pictures of the mechanisms as well as pictures of a modified version (aka IR control, drive (possibly 4WD), and motorized steering added). | 2019-04-20T21:01:58 | http://www.technicbricks.com/2008/07/tbs-techreview-04-new-parts-included.html |
Mark Aplin | ARIAT Jumping with the Stars!
Mark started riding at 9 years old and started showing at 12 with his first horse, an Appendix named Josh. After progressing from Short Stirrup to Children’s Hunters, Mark moved on to more serious competition, showing in Medal/Maclay classes, Junior Hunters, Regular Working Hunters, and Ch/Ad Jumpers. His junior accomplishments were placing 2nd at Zone 2 Medal Finals twice, qualifying for USET Finals, and the 1993 Syracuse PHA Junior Rider Sportsmanship Award. When he was 15, he started buying horses and schooling them from the Pre-Greens to Training Jumpers before them. As an amateur riding at John Madden Sales, he competed in the A/O Hunters and Jumpers before turning pro in 1994.
As an instructor, Mark derives his influence and style from his own trainers, Susan Lowe, Michael Page, and John Madden. After successfully coaching students to Medal/Maclay Finals on the East Coast, Mark decided to try his hand at intercollegiate equestrian competition, and in 2003 he moved to Wisconsin to coach the UW-Madison Equestrian Team. Since becoming the head coach, UWET has had two individual National Champions, won seven Regional Championships and one Reserve Championship, had six IHSA Nationals appearances, and of those six has placed in the top ten four times. Mark also coaches students privately, assisting them at A, AA, and NIHJA shows. His riders have achieved Zone 6 Reserve Championships in the Adult Amateur Hunters and Jumpers and have made appearances at USEF Pony Finals.
Mark’s students value him for his experience and knowledge as well as for his caring attitude. Every student and every horse is important, regardless of ability or show experience, and his quality instruction has helped even the most timid rider build confidence and poise in the saddle.
Mark Aplin is the Coach of the UW Intercollegiate Equestrian Team. | 2019-04-25T10:42:36 | https://ariatjwts.wordpress.com/tag/mark-aplin/ |
Deconstructed coffee ice cream. That’s what this is.
Espresso, sugar and cream combine forces to make a simple frozen treat that will have people coming back for more.
I can’t imagine a better treat eaten under strings of outdoor lanterns on a warm summer evening. This is how I’d want to have coffee in the morning on a super hot summer day. Can you really blame me?
Hooray for three ingredient recipes. That’s what summer living is all about!
Brew your espresso. If you don’t have espresso, you can use instant espresso. Just make 2 cups worth. If you don’t have instant espresso, I imagine really strong coffee would do the trick here.
In a mixing bowl, mix your espresso with the sugar. Let it dissolve. It works really well if your espresso is hot.
Pour the sugary espresso into a glass dish. I used a pie plate because I wanted my espresso to freeze faster.
After about 6 hours in the freezer, it’s set. You can do this overnight and prepare everything right before serving.
Scrape the espresso into a granita using a fork.
Make a little whipped cream. Don’t whip it TOO much. We wanna simulate the froth of a nice cappuccino.
Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of each dish.
So simple. So satisfying. SO DELICIOUSLY EASY.
Want to jazz it up? Top the whipped cream with a little bit of fresh orange zest. How about reducing the sugar and adding a little homemade amaretto in?
Stir the coffee and 1/2 cup of the sugar together to dissolve the sugar,and pour the mixture into a Pyrex baking dish or other flat pan. Taste for sweetness. It should be rather sweet; add more sugar if necessary. Cover and put in the freezer for up to 6 hours or overnight.
When granita is set, pull the dish from the freezer and let it thaw a bit. When it’s just a bit mushy, scrape with a fork. Then return the dish to the freezer until ready to serve.
Beat the heavy cream in a small bowl until just set. You don’t want a stiff whipped cream for this recipe. Scoop the granita into small cups and top with a dollop or two of whipped cream.
Sounds like the perfect way to cool off in the summer! love simple recipes!
So easy and so fun looking! Yum!
i am in LOVE with this – and you’re right, 3 ingredients are what it’s all about. totally making this for dessert sometime this week!
I think this would be fabulous with a little sprinkle of cinnamon on top. yumm.
I can’t wait to make this. Holy moly it looks good!
Classy, simple, and delicious… YUM!
Love this. And I have that book! Gonna have to try this soon.
Isn’t that book amazing? I think this is the 6th recipe I’ve made from it. They’re all winners.
OH my GOSH, TRACY! This is such an amazing idea! I cannot wait to try this.
You probably have to be careful not to eat too much of the granita, or else you’d be flying off the walls with caffeine!
Yeah! You totally have to be careful. I ate a cup before I went on a plane and was BUZZING!!
Ha! That’s all it takes?
I mean, I’m always excited by your recipes, but this one sounds like my heaven. Mmmm. Tracy, you rule.
This looks delicious – a great easy way to put my fancy pants new espresso machine to work! Have you thought about doing any coffee tutorials? You are always drinking such lovely looking beverages from your espresso machine but I can’t seem to figure mine out!
Maybe I will one day! To be honest…I make a lot of Americanos because I have no time in the morning to steam milk. Cappuccinos are usually my weekend treat. The husband is REALLY good at making them.
So cute!!! So So Cute!!
this is exactly how I want my morning coffee every summer day!
Do you have any recommendations for an espresso machine? This treat along with the machine would make my husband very happy on Father’s Day.
this post makes me wish I liked coffee. sad face. I can imagine how this would be soooo good!
Love your polka dot mugs! Do you remember where you got ’em?
Doing this before summer is over!
Already sold on most anything I can make ahead of time, and this looks like it’s begging for a brunch to go with it.
This looks delicious! That recipe book has been on my Amazon wish list for a long time, I think it’s time to purchase!
I love this and will definitely be making it this weekend, when it will be 90 degrees and humid! I agree with the request for a tutorial on how to make espresso drinks – also, how do you clean your machine? Just let it steam for a while?
I’ll have my husband help you out. He’s the espresso machine master!
Thanks, Tracy! I am learning so much reading your site!
– this looks amaz! I need to make it Thursday to impress the in-laws.
Thanks for listening/commenting!!! much love!
I have never been tempted to make granita until I saw this. I think I have to try it this weekend…or tonight.
I know this post is old, but where did you get those polka dotted mugs?? They are adorable!
Thank you! My mother in law gifted them to me. I think she got them at One King’s Lane a while back! | 2019-04-24T04:44:48 | http://www.shutterbean.com/2012/frozen-cappuccino/ |
For all those that attended the last event at the Bartley Lofts – you’re fully aware of the growth F.Y.P. has been going through and hopefully is seeing all the great things F.Y.P. can offer. We’ve promised some great events for this year and am so excited to announce this next event. We have an absolutely gorgeous downtown waterfront and it is time we begin to take advantage.
Toledo Uncork’d will be taking place at Dirty Martini, downtown on the docks waterfront. We are asking all of you to come join us for a fantastic wine tasting event along with some great music and even better food. We have so much to offer and will be raffling off big prizes that we’ll announce Soon! We’ll also be giving away free bottles of wine (and more!) to FYP members as part of a raffle. Get there early!
Focus on Young People was created by Derek Feniger with one thing in mind, to create a social network in Toledo and surrounding areas that every young person felt comfortable enough to take part in. Also, the idea was to create a group that met at consistent level every month giving each member a chance to make an event – or meet other members. There are no fees, no committees, just a good gathering of good people wanting to better the community.
The Victory Center has been providing services to cancer patients and their families since 1996. Our sole purpose is to nourish and comfort the body, mind and spirit during the fight against cancer. Programs are held in a comfortable homelike setting and are presented by licensed professionals with credentials appropriate to their specialty.

Join the conversation on No Child Left Behind! Do you know what the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, also known as No Child Left Behind, really says? Dive deep into U.S. education law with our interactive version of the ESEA. View what other K12 News Network users have said about the law, and leave your own comments.
Use this quick guide to go directly to the section of the ESEA you’re most interested in.
Title I is the longest, toughest slog. This section of the ESEA contains important information on parent involvement in public education, programs on the development of reading skills, the education of migratory children, provisions for at-risk kids, and advanced placement testing. Mixed in are a lot of rules regarding grant applications by local and state education agencies which aren’t really relevant to individuals.
Title II of the ESEA covers funding used to train teachers and principals. It covers specific programs, like Troops-to-Teachers, that help veterans get accreditation for civilian teaching jobs, the National Writing Project, STEM (science, technology, engineering, or math) education, and teachers who use technology to help them teach.
Title III addresses Limited English Learners who want to get up to speed in English as well as native speakers of English who seek instruction in global languages.
Title IV addresses non-curricular parts of school culture that nevertheless are important part of the school day. These parts of the law address safety issues, from student health and freedom from drug or alcohol abuse, to gun-free and smoke-free zones.
Title V emphasizes parental choice among types of schools, and covers charter schools, which are hybrid public- and private-funded schools that operate under different rules than existing public schools. Also covered here: gifted and talented education, magnet schools, women’s education equity, and physical education. It’s a bit of a catch-all category.
Title VI talks about flexibility and accountability–again, aimed more at state and local educational agencies that receive federal money. There is one section on calculation of Adequate Yearly Progress, i.e., standardized testing, which is worth looking at, as is the section on Rural Schools.
Title VII addresses the education of children who are Native Hawaiian, Native Alaskan, or belong to an American Indian nation. Native people have a different relationship to the federal government: recognized tribes have treaties and other kinds of agreements with the government that affect how federal education law is implemented.
Title VIII covers federal payments to a very small number of schools which sound like a one-time peculiarity of funding issues relating to those schools. More broadly, this part of the law allows for federal emergency grants to schools to fix school facilities under certain conditions (if no other way of funding it, such as a bond measure, is possible).
Title IX gives attention to the federal government’s limited oversight into private schools. This part also addresses rules governing school prayer, equal access to school facilities (such as in school athletic programs where inequality between boys’ and girls’ athletic teams is often an issue), and armed forces recruiting.
Title X is again a catch-all area that contains amendments and repeals of sections of prior law. Here you’ll find tweaks to education laws pertaining to homeless children, American Indian children (as it intersects with the Bureau of Indian Affairs), and laws having to do with teacher training. | 2019-04-23T12:11:55 | http://k12newsnetwork.com/elementary-and-secondary-education-act/ |
The AICSA’s series SAGE Studies in International Sociology (SSIS), founded in 1974, encourages debates of international significance and maps out future trends of sociological importance.
CoS is an initiative to promote, identify, and discuss both new theoretical trends and re-think ideas already familiar to the Sociological Imagination. Proposals would come from established AICSA members.
While President of the AICSA, Immanuel Wallerstein collaborated with national and other associations to organize ten regional conferences in preparation for the 14th World Congress of Sociology (1998). These volumes were intended to represent the state of social knowledge in each of the 10 regions. They form part of a bold and ambitious scheme to map out the state of world sociology from a regional perspective. | 2019-04-22T13:08:21 | http://africaicsa.org/index.php/2018-03-03-00-28-54/publications |
In 2020, the Royal Academy of Dance will celebrate its centenary. A partnership with the Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington will result in the mounting of a major display throughout 2020 that charts the history of British ballet – and, by definition, the history of the Royal Academy of Dance – over the preceding 100 years. It will also celebrate the current state of the art form, and look forward to an exciting future for dance.
The 11-month opportunity (the installation will run from February 2020-January 2021) will also feature activation of the space through a programme of special events and hospitality opportunities. The Theatre and Performance gallery at the V&A welcomes 300,000 visitors per annum and the museum as a whole attracts 4 million visitors per annum. Beyond the physical boundaries of the V&A, both organisations have strong online reach (collectively in excess of 750k on Facebook, 1.5m on Twitter, 1m on Instagram, 220k via e-news channels) which will be leveraged to increase exposure to the exhibition. By virtue of their prestigious brands, both organisations have access to well-developed networks of high net worth individuals.
With RAD leading the project and V&A providing venue space and seed funding, the RAD are seeking sponsorship in order to expand the scope of the exhibition to include multiple media (film, music, interactive experiences), historically significant artefacts (many of which will be on public display for the first time), and an expanded events and education programme.
To discuss the possibilities and for a more detailed proposal, please email Matthew Cunningham, Director of Strategic Development and Fundraising. | 2019-04-23T16:13:55 | https://www.thewalpole.co.uk/member_news/pitch-sponsorship-opportunity-va-museum-celebrating-100-years-british-ballet/ |
Crackers and dips are my current favorite convenience food. The convenience comes from the fact that I can make a big batch in advance (both crackers and dip) and then have it as I feel hungry (usually for lunch) or as a snack in the afternoon over several days. The whole cracker/dip passion was started by my son who demands crackers, carrots and chickpea hummus in his lunchbox.
I have been experimenting with different flour/seed combinations in my crackers, and I always have an open mind for new dips. I was immediately intrigued when I first heard of a raw green pea hummus. I have always liked the raw factor in foods. Not only because vitamins and minerals are staying intact, but also because it results in very few dirty dishes. Usually one bowl to mix ingredients, and that's it.
While I was a little in doubt if a raw pea hummus would be just a tad to sweet, the combination of sweet peas with basil sounded truly promising to me. The ingredients list is incredibly easy, and basil is growing like weed in my garden. In fact, my basil plants have become bushes.
So off I went to dirty my one bowl. The resulting dip would have been worth many more dirty dishes, I promise. This pea basil dip is so refreshing, healthy, light. A welcome dip change for every now and then, for someone like me who has been living off chickpea hummus for several years.
Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Add water to achieve desired consistency. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 48 hours. | 2019-04-23T06:37:54 | http://www.anjasfood4thought.com/2011/09/raw-pea-basil-hummus.html |

For the 'sandwich generation' there's greater pressure than ever before to care for our ageing parents - and often our kids too. So, asks Chandrika Gibson, how do we manage to stay calm and kind?
It is an irrefutable reality that our society is ageing. Life expectancy is increasing, at least for most sectors of society, the large "baby boomer" generation is rapidly retiring from the workforce and many people have delayed childbearing until their thirties or forties. When we do have children, small families are the norm. This all adds up to a community of many elders who will eventually need caregivers. Who will look after the elderly as they make the inevitable transition from spritely to dependent?
Does this role fall to professionals, health care workers and institutions or will it be a private matter, handled within families?
Currently, there is a mixture of family and professional caring going on. This is not a new phenomenon - elders have always eventually shifted from giving to receiving care if they live long enough. What are new are all the other pressures on caregivers. Is it possible to maintain a feeling of kindness and compassion in trying circumstances? It sounds easy enough, especially for those adults who have made concerted efforts to live up to their own idea of compassion. The reality may well be very different from our ideals.
An adult in our society who considers themselves to have a compassionate heart will gladly care for children in their own immediate family and extend that care into their community. A compassionate person will seek to understand the challenges facing other people and take action to ease the suffering of others. This may take the form of activism, charity or simply consuming less. If they have the means they may donate time, money or energy to worthy causes. A compassionate person is very likely to make conscious choices in order to care for the welfare of people, animals and the environment. But the choices required of them are less clearcut when it comes to the care of their parents.
The term "sandwich generation" has made its way into modern language and is even in some new dictionaries. It generally refers to the middle generation who care for children under 15 and parents or grandparents over 65. Of the over 65 age group, it is the growing numbers aged 85 and over who are termed the "old old" and are most likely to be suffering with disabilities, dementia and declining health.
Despite feminism, it is still daughters and daughters in law who most often take on the role of caregiver for elderly relatives. Studies show that men have tended to do more garden work, transportation and household maintenance for their ageing parents, while the intensity of personal care including bathing, dressing and toileting has fallen to women. These gender tendencies have meant that sons have played an important part in keeping parents in their own homes, while daughters have often become intensive caregivers.
The impact on the health of a caregiver is significant. Some studies have shown dramatic decreases in health and wellbeing, particularly for those who have a live-in elderly relative. Numerous studies have shown that co-residing with an elderly parent is a strong predictor of caregiver strain. In a 2002 Canadian study of live-in caregivers, 22% reported sleep disturbance, 50% changed social activities and 43% changed their holiday plans.
Yet the impact is not all negative. A large group of caregivers reported increased self esteem due to a feeling that they could give back to their parents some of the care they had received as children. Many felt that their relationship with the parent was strengthened and this closeness provided a link to cultural and family history.
Researchers are divided about whether people suffer in the caregiving role. The difference is something intangible. Perhaps it is a subtle difference in attitude. Maybe genuine compassion changes the stress of looking after someone into a positive experience?
When we care for young children there is certainly stress, especially if there is little support available. Primary caregivers give up or postpone careers, make financial sacrifices and put their own desires largely on hold. They, too, suffer sleep disturbances and are forced to alter their social life and travel dreams. Yet the investment of time and energy is returned when they enjoy a close relationship with a young person. The child learns, grows and matures towards independence. Our society offers some support for people doing this valuable job. Now we have paid parental leave, family tax benefits, subsidised day care and a generally child friendly culture.
The situation is reversed for caregivers of the elderly, especially if the ageing person is disabled or demented. We tolerate incontinence in early childhood much more than we can in the elderly, unless we have really developed compassion. For an adult caring for both young children and an elderly parent, there are distinctly competing demands. It's not surprising this can lead to exhaustion.
When it comes to the crunch it is natural and normal to give preference to the needs of children over parents. Our sense of family obligation must flow forward to the younger generation in order to continue the family. So at what point do we hand our elders over to nursing homes or hospitals? Often it is when a crisis occurs, a fall, a broken bone, a stroke or seizure. When the demands of caregiving become more than we are equipped to handle we must reach out for help. When we seek support do we find a compassionate system? It is seldom what we would hope for and it is worsening as the demand for beds and staff increases.
Certainly, there are dedicated carers and talented medical professionals. But when the crisis is averted there is still a big question mark over what to do for the best. How do families work with medical professionals and social workers to make the best, most compassionate care decisions?
Based on surveys of families, the system as it exists currently is ill equipped to provide suitable care for a high need, but essentially well, older person. If they remain in hospital they are vulnerable to infection and often feel more disoriented and frightened than ever before. If they go home, the burden for high intensity care returns to the family members who may or may not welcome the workload. It is common to be faced with a fear that the older person will pass away at home and this can cause distress for all concerned. There are some wonderful home care services, but they are either costly or limited. Not every older person will qualify for them.
If we feel some sense of gratitude towards our parents, it is not the same as owing them anything. Parenting is done in the spirit of unconditional love, an act of giving without need for reward. And if we have felt neglected or even abused by a parent we may not even have that sense of gratitude at all. So what is the compassionate approach to elder care?
Holistic health must encompass all phases as well as all aspects of our lives. So just as we can seek to understand the needs of a newborn baby by imagining life from their perspective, we must also put ourselves in the shoes of needy older people. As complex as family relationships might be, we will all, barring tragedy, be elderly one day. How would you like to be treated?
Perhaps you will think of your adult children and grandchildren and seek to alleviate any burden from them. This might take the form of self care. Keeping physically fit will slow the degenerative effects of ageing, as will a nutritious and well balanced diet. Giving up the self harm of refined sugar, saturated fats, smoking, drinking and any other health compromising vices will help. There are so many ways to stay engaged, including participating in family life avidly. When younger people take up new technology, learn how to use it, too. Read widely and seek out thought provoking media. Continue to meet new people by getting involved in social events and recreational activities. If you have been fortunate enough to have passionate interests, continue them as long as possible. If one interest becomes unsuitable (rock climbing is probably not for the over 70s although there are bound to be exceptions), find an alternative (an indoor rock climbing wall should suffice).
A compassionate life is also a healthy life in every sense. Give without thought of reward as often as possible. If caregiving falls to you, do it as graciously as you can. If you feel resentful, search your heart for compassion and ask for help. The whole of society is responsible for each member and must support compassionate choices. Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it also takes one to nurse an elder. | 2019-04-22T18:04:15 | http://novaholisticjournal.com/stories/compassionate-caregivers |

Paula Lobo/ABC via Getty Images(NEW YORK) — After his interview with former FBI director James Comey that aired in an ABC special Sunday, ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos shared his impressions with Powerhouse Politics hosts Jonathan Karl and Rick Klein.
“It was one of the longest and most intense interviews of my career,” Stephanopoulos said.
And the stakes were high.
Although Comey wants to sell books, Stephanopoulos said Comey realized he would and should face tough questions.
“He wanted to be pressed and that would help him. It wouldn’t do him any good if he got “fluff ball treatment” on his book tour,” Stephanopoulos said.
And Stephanopoulos said overriding all of Comey’s comments was his sharply negative view of the man who fired him.
But Stephanopoulos said one thing became clear.
Klein, Karl and Stephanopoulos agreed that one big question remains as Comey continues on his book tour: Where would we be if the president had not fired James Comey? | 2019-04-26T08:44:47 | http://www.wimsradio.com/2018/04/18/former-fbi-director-comey-has-nothing-but-disdain-for-trump-stephanopoulos/ |
The fully automatic backwash filter effectively filters high-concentration sewage, using existing biological treatment methods combined with self-cleaning filters, and fully automatic backwash filter for biological filtration to be used in landfill leachate treatment. This method is the most commonly used, especially It is a fully automatic backwash filter. The biological treatment of leachate has relatively low operating costs, high treatment efficiency, and no secondary pollution caused by chemical sludge. Therefore, it is widely used in countries all over the world.
The backwash filter reverse osmosis function is commonly used in the post-treatment of leachate as it removes medium molecular weight dissolved organics. On the one hand, the backwash filter has the efficiency of reverse osmosis function; on the other hand, it is the modular management of its reverse osmosis function system; and the function has automatic control characteristics.
Biological method and reverse osmosis are applied to the fully automatic backwash filter, which effectively solves the difficult problem of landfill leachate treatment. The material retention efficiency of the small molecular weight is improved, and the disadvantage of the structure of the high concentration organic matter or the inorganic sediment in the fully automatic backwash filter is reduced.
Generally, the landfill uses pipes to discharge excess leachate into a reserved pool, and then filters it with a fully automatic backwash filter. Different landfills vary greatly in water quality for different reasons. Therefore, when filtering leachate in the same field, first consider the filtering function of various filters. | 2019-04-24T02:17:22 | http://m.inocofiltration.com/info/function-and-function-of-automatic-backwash-fi-34164961.html |
Has your lawn been looking a little worse for wear of late? A mulching lawn mower could actually help you to return it to its former glory. Mulching the clippings up and depositing them back onto the lawn can help to return nutrients and moisture to the soil.
Why should you buy a mulching lawn mower?
Mulching your grass as it’s cut actually enhances the growth and health of your lawn by reducing the evaporation of moisture and keeping the soil temperature cooler. It has also been suggested that mulched clippings can provide your lawn with up to 25% of its fertilising needs.
Because the grass is being mulched and deposited by your lawn mower as it cuts, you will actually find that you get this chore done faster. You won’t have to stop every so often to empty the bag, and you won’t have to find the time to dispose of the clippings when you’re finished! | 2019-04-19T16:54:25 | https://www.hasmow.com.au/mulching-lawn-mowers |

For some reason, out of the hundreds of times that I’ve heard the phrase “dead white men” in the context of the problematic amount of space they take up in the canon and in in public consciousness, it struck me differently when I heard it today. Of what use, I’m wondering now, is the word “dead” in there?
I can get behind the spirit of the challenge. Let’s read women! Let’s read people of color! Your reading project is yours alone, and after all, we each only get so much reading time on this earth. Still, I cannot imagine a world in which I could bring myself to read the living instead of the dead.
My dissertation advisor recently reminded me that “tradition” and “metaphor,” from Latin and from Greek respectively, have the same literal sense, a carrying-over. “Tradition” comes to mean a carrying over of the things of our ancestors to the younger generations, whereas “metaphor” is used to describe the carrying-over, or transference, of meaning from one idea to another. But even in these conventional uses, surely there is still a relationship between the concepts: on what can our metaphors subsist without the tradition? How quickly would our living art pale and wither without its inheritances from the art of the dead?
Of course, I would say this; my work focuses almost entirely on the dead, and one of my most pressing research questions is about the terms of ethical engagement between the reader and the long-dead creators of texts. And of course I see, from a practical point of view, why the word gets lumped in with “white men”: of the texts published and preserved and made available from earlier eras in western literature (not to even begin to touch on the complex cultural history of translation), a disproportionate number were authored by white men.
At the same time, the word implies a hope that lives in those who deploy it: that this will no longer be the case in the texts currently being produced by the living, that a new era is upon us, and from now on, the canon will look different. It’s a lot of hope to place on our canon, the canon of those living now, and it is, by now, a hope that has been shared by many who are no longer with us, who have joined the dead. So are they no longer part of our project? Won’t we count them among our number?
I believe in keeping company with the dead, and will continue to do so, not apologetically or as a concession, but as a point of primary interest and ethical concern for the living.
To complicate the dichotomy that the ladies at Persephone set up, between holiday preparations and quiet time to read, I have also often enjoyed baking on St. Stephen’s Day, but specifically because the pressure is off, and it feels like the first day when it is possible to bake on my own terms again (clean kitchen, music at whim, no time obligations whatsoever). But first and foremost, the 26th is a day for reading: everyone needs some quiet that day, all of the expectations of constant socializing must be dropped, and hopefully, one has at least one new book that's been tugging at one from the edge of all the socializing. So, perhaps a good day to bake something yeasty, and fill the long proofing periods with reading.
Still, before we get there, the solstice this week is the first of my December holiday trinity: this is the quiet one, spent in exactly my own way, sparkling between cool air and warm light, and hopefully out-of-doors and champagne and eating meat again for the first time in Advent (though I had some early solstice celebrations away from home this year with family—I, like many of my contemporaries, believe myself an inventor of flexibility in ritual).
The solstice has been special to me for a number of years, and it’s delightful to see it coming forward in collective attention recently thanks to the astrological renaissance underway on the internet and in millennial havens nowadays. My social circles include representatives of both sides of the polarization that astrology brings out, a conflict that’s amusing if you keep in mind how recently (half a millennium or so ago) there was no line as such between astrology and astronomy. For this, I see the rationalists and the astrologues as the conflict of the schism: the skeksis and the mystics of the world I inhabit. I have a guess, however, at which side would be happier to hear me describe the conflict as illusory.
Still, I feel that any version of modernity currently practiced will not prevent any of us from appreciating the turning of the year, the hope for the returning of the sun. In my life, too, this December moment is a symbolic one: the promise that eventually, later on in January, I will start to get some sunlight back in the morning, the only time I really care about it. Many people I know are delighted to start gaining light in the afternoon, since, I suppose, they find it gloomy rather than magical to leave work in the dark. For me, it’s still another month to wait for relief, but the solstice encourages: brighter times ahead.
Given that it's crunch time, I really shouldn't have any time to read things that are not strictly "for" my dissertation. But given that reading is a compulsive behavior for me, reading off-topic is the only way to relax my brain - I tell myself it's a kind of recovery, or stretching.
Anyway, things collide interestingly for me sometimes. Also, I hate/love the look of writing bleeding through paper. | 2019-04-24T01:53:15 | http://reginachiuminatto.com/blog |
Luke Shaw, Nemanja Matic, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Romelu Lukaku have all been included in the provisional Manchester United squad for the Premier League visit of Watford.
The quintet all withdrew from international duty over the last fortnight as just six first-team squad members represented their nations. David de Gea, Antonio Valencia, Eric Bailly, Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba were the only players who appeared for their senior national sides, while Diogo Dalot featured for Portugal Under-20s.
Sources close to Lukaku told the MEN in midweek the Belgian needed time to recover from a foot injury that ruled him out of United’s FA Cup defeat to Wolves two weeks ago, as well as Belgium’s European Championship qualifiers against Russia and Cyprus. Lukaku’s camp were reluctant to earmark the round-of-16 Champions League first leg with Barcelona on April 10 as a possible comeback fixture, since United travel to Wolves before then on Tuesday.
Lukaku only returned to United’s Carrington training complex on Friday, having undergone treatment in Belgium, but still checked in with the rest of his teammates at The Lowry Hotel on Friday night. Martial (knee), Shaw, Matic and Rashford (ankle) were also present. United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer suggested certain players would have late fitness tests.

So it’s been ten years this Sunday since I signed my first contract with Gollancz. Which remains somewhat astonishing to me, mostly that I’m still allowed to make stuff up when I should be working a proper job… But anyway I was going to do a giveaway of all my books to celebrate when it occurred to me that I’ve done a few of those over the years and it was maybe time to do something different.
Instead, I want your money. Or rather, I want it to go to my local charity. I’m looking for bids on a set of all my published books (that’s the entire Twilight Reign plus the two Empire of a Hundred Houses books, seven novels and one collection of short stories – plus, if someone proves particularly generous, perhaps also a promise for copies of the novella and novel I’ve written but haven’t come out yet).
The charity is Helen and Douglas House, a hospice for children and young adults with life-shortening conditions. http://www.helenanddouglas.org.uk/ – and in case you want to just throw money their way right now, the best place for that is via their website or here - https://www.justgiving.com/hhadh/ – the do brilliant work and are lovely people so well deserving of your generosity.
So put your bids in the comments here, as replies on facebook or twitter or emailed through my website even – I don’t care where, I’ll do my best to collate them and make it clear what the leading bid is. I’ll be covering postage (so kinda hoping for a UK-based winner ;0) ) and I’m open to negotiation when it comes to format, size of winning bid depending – I think I’ve got most of the ones printed – and will sign/dedicate/first line as requested so long as it’s vaguely reasonable.
I’ll leave this to run until Monday morning, get bidding! | 2019-04-26T12:43:58 | https://tomlloyd.livejournal.com/87071.html |
7. As the popularity of NBC Sports Live Extra has increased during the season with more soccer fans watching live games on it, the video quality has been an issue particularly on 10am ET games when some of the top teams are playing in the same window. Even with a hard-wired Internet connection, buffering happens more than it should. And when games are watched in full-screen mode, the video quality is often not good enough.
8. Android users experienced a lot of issues earlier in the season with the NBC Sports Live Extra app for Android devices being practically unusable. NBC, to their credit, upgraded the Android app to improve the viewing experience. Technically, however, it’s a difficult job to keep all Android users happy as the app works well on most of the popular Android devices, not all. It’s the nature of the beast, unfortunately.
NBC launched a brand-new feature for its first year of Premier League TV coverage, which is Premier League Extra Time. The feature is actually overflow channels that most TV providers offer to its subscribers, so you can watch live games that are not being shown live on NBC or NBCSN. Plus many of the games are available as video on-demand for later viewing.
1. If your TV provider offers Premier League Extra Time, consider yourself fortunate. There are still a small number of TV providers who are not providing the service. Or, for example, Tivo users who have Xfinity Comcast are not able to access the Premier League Extra Time features via on-demand.
1. The only complaint is that some TV providers don’t make Premier League Extra Time available, but that’s no fault of NBC Sports. That’s a decision for each TV provider. NBC is making the overflow channels available free-of-charge.
Production, analysts and commentary are key ingredients in making a successful launch, but the marketing and promotion to let people know that Premier League matches are now on NBC Sports is just as crucial.
1. NBC scored a home run hit with their Ted Lasso viral videos starring Jason Sudeikis. The NBC network gained instant credibility on both sides of the Atlantic, making sure that the words “NBC” and “EPL” were on the tips of the tongues of all US soccer fans.
2. NBC scored another hit with the advertising it did on the NBC subway cars in New York City. The subway cars were so popular that fans of some of the clubs made special pilgrimages to see them in person, and to share the photos on social media for everyone else to see. | 2019-04-19T03:06:23 | http://worldsoccertalk.com/2013/11/08/rating-nbc-sports-coverage-of-the-premier-league-on-us-tv-and-internet/7/ |
Tuesday Roundup: Why, Helllllllo Harley!!!
Ah, Krypton… Maybe it was a nice place to visit, but if you’re a human, you probably wouldn’t want to live there. And you definitely don’t want it returning and destroying all things we hold dear. | 2019-04-18T15:09:07 | https://www.dccomics.com/tags/krypton-returns |

The Identity API service enables developers to manage authentication and authorization services for Rackspace services through a simple Representational State Transfer (REST) web service interface.
The Identity service v2.0 is an implementation of OpenStack Keystone Service v2.0 that provides common, token-based authentication and authorization services that allow seamless access to Rackspace products and services.
Authentication generates a token in response to valid credentials submitted by a user, process, or client. Then, that token is used to confirm identity when requesting access to systems or resources defined in the Identity service catalog.
Authorization determines the resources and actions available to a user, client, or process based on access control capabilities that can be defined and managed by using the Identity service.
This guide is intended to assist software developers who want to develop applications by using the REST application programming interface (API) for the Identity service.
Use the following links to get user and reference information for using the Identity service REST API.
You can also use Identity from the Cloud Control Panel. | 2019-04-24T07:56:47 | https://developer.rackspace.com/docs/cloud-identity/v2/ |

I ended up using drummers old Kick Drum mic to mic up my bass cab - usually use an external DI, but drummer wasn't happy with signal he was getting to the desk from it, so we switched to the mic.
Best thing was is we finished at 12am and I was home about 1:30am!

THIS is a special week for temporary office administrator Jean Seddon.
On Friday she finds out whether she has won a nationwide award celebrating the contribution of temps to UK businesses. "I never thought I would stand a chance," says Seddon, one of three finalists for the One in a Million title.
The annual award was launched three years ago by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), together with Temp Week, which is being held this week. Both initiatives were set up to put the spotlight on the hidden army of one million temporary workers beavering away in companies every day.
"We wanted to show the huge value temp workers bring," explains Marcia Roberts, director of external relations for the REC, "and to celebrate those who make an outstanding effort."
Seddon herself is 75, and in the 16 years she has worked for Stanley Staff in Ellesmere Port, she has completed 161 administrative, secretarial and receptionist assignments for 32 companies. Agency staff pay tribute to her unfailing willingness to help out, even cancelling her holiday on one occasion to rescue a regular client.
Although offered permanent positions, Seddon resolutely sticks to temping.
"I have time to enjoy with my family, doing exercise, and charity work," she says.
This is clearly a lifestyle choice, and, according to Marcia Roberts, it is increasingly common. "No longer just filling a gap while jobhunting, many of today's workers choose to temp."
So why are these workers tempted by temping? "They enjoy the flexibility to determine when they work," says Roberts.
Workplace culture has shifted, too, and temps' benefits packages are more attractive, offering sick and holiday pay. | 2019-04-24T16:49:04 | https://www.questia.com/newspaper/1G1-104877903/what-would-we-do-without-her |
