St. Johns County Watering Restrictions
About the Restrictions
The St. Johns County watering restrictions are designed to ensure the efficient use of water for landscape irrigation. The restrictions allow enough water to establish and maintain healthy landscapes year-round.
The mandatory restrictions specify the times when watering may occur, the amount of water that may be applied, and the days when watering may occur for residential and nonresidential locations.
Know Your Days
|Time of year||Odd Numbered / No Address||Even Numbered Address||Non-Residential Property|
|Daylight Savings Time||Wednesday / Saturday||Thursday / Sunday||Tuesday / Friday|
|Eastern Standard Time||Saturday||Sunday||Tuesday|
Additional Limitations & Requirements
- Limited irrigation to the amount necessary to meet landscape needs.
- Irrigation limitations apply to water withdrawn from ground or surface water, from a private well or pump, or from a public or private utility.
- Persons irrigating with an automatic lawn irrigation system shall install, maintain and operate an automatic override system that turns off the irrigation system when there is “sufficient moisture." This may include a rain sensor device that turns off the system during periods of rainfall or a soil moisture sensor that prohibits the irrigation system from turning on when there is sufficient moisture in the soil to maintain healthy plants.
- Non-landscape irrigation, such as vegetable gardens, playgrounds, football and soccer fields, agricultural crops and nursery plants can be irrigated any time except between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Exceptions to the Restrictions
- Irrigation using micro-spray, micro-jet, drip or bubbler irrigation systems is allowed anytime.
- Irrigation of new landscape is allowed at any time for the first 30 days and every other day for the next 30 days. Limit irrigation to the minimum amount necessary for establishment.
- Watering in chemicals, including insecticides, pesticides, fertilizers, fungicides and herbicides when required by law, the manufacturer, or best management practices, is allowed anytime within 24 hours of application.
- Watering in chemicals may not exceed ¼ inch of water per application except as otherwise required by law, the manufacturer, or best management practices.
- Irrigation systems may be operated anytime for maintenance and repair, not to exceed 20 minutes per hour per zone.
- Irrigation using a hand-held hose with a spray nozzle that can be adjusted so water flows only as needed is allowed anytime.
- Discharge of water from a water-to-air air-conditioning unit or other water-dependent cooling system is not limited.
- The use of water from a reclaimed water system is allowed anytime. This includes systems in which the primary source is reclaimed water, which may or may not be supplemented from another source during peak demand periods.
- The use of recycled water from wet detention treatment ponds for irrigation is allowed anytime provided the ponds are not augmented from any ground or off-site surface water, or public supply sources.
Landscape irrigation means the outside watering of plants in a landscape such as shrubbery, trees, lawns, grass, ground covers, plants, vines, gardens and other such flora that are situated in such diverse locations as residential areas, public, commercial and industrial establishments, and public medians and rights-of way. “Landscape irrigation” does not include agricultural crops, nursery plants, cemeteries, golf course greens, tees, fairways, primary roughs, and vegetation associated with intensive recreational areas, such as playgrounds, football, baseball and soccer fields.
Residential landscape irrigation means the irrigation of landscape associated with any housing unit having sanitary and kitchen facilities designed to accommodate one or more residents, including multiple housing units and mobile homes.
Nonresidential landscape irrigation means the irrigation of landscape not included with the definition of “residential landscape irrigation,” such as that associated with public, commercial and industrial property, including commercial or transient housing units, hotel and motel units, and public medians and rights-of-way.

If you are a parent to a young child, there are higher chances that you will be asked to provide support to the school one day or another. Schools don’t directly ask for donations upright, they organize fundraising events for the purpose of building community spirt. That’s why many schools organize the summer fayre. These fayres are meant for raising money for the school so that the authorities can continue with the repairs and upgrades during the summer holiday. Most of the parents come up with the idea of installing goods to donate for providing support for the event. In case you are looking for fun or inspiration and you don’t want to do the typical thing, it would be a great idea to sell the wholesale beads.
Sell the beads
Every kid wishes that his parents provide the best contribution. I know I would have wanted that. Commonly, parents choose to bake cakes and sell them at the school fair but in case you are a working parent and can’t really sweat in the kitchen, then the best idea to begin with would be choosing wholesale beads. They are widely available and they are inexpensive. You can find them in a variety of colors and they can be fun to use too.
If you think it is not a really good idea then I would like to tell you one thing here. Many kids would love to come to your stall to buy these wholesale beads because it would attract any eye to come and make crafts with beads and similar other jewelry findings. Don’t just keep the beads at your stall, have some jewelry items and craft items along too so that your audience gets to know they can make different things from these supplies.
Make the arrangements
On the summer fayre, all you will need a table and some chairs. The setting of the table should be according to the color of the boxes, and the size and shape of the beads you want to sell. Once the boxes are arranged, you are ready to go. Invite the kids to buy a seat and table and play with the beads. You can give 20 minutes to each kid and then play all they want with the beads. Talk to them and help them in tying the bracelet made from the cotton thread. You can give away these bracelets to the kids as a remainder of this exhibition at the fayre.
Make sure that you can find beads of bigger sizes so that it becomes simple for the kids use these beads and other parents would be satisfied that these beads are safe to use for kids. Make sure that you advise the children in picking the wholesale beads and let them use their creativity for creating the funny and funky jewelry pieces. It will even make them curious to learn more about beads and jewelry making. Wholesale beads would make it easy for everyone to enjoy the benefits of making the jewelry with their creativity. | <urn:uuid:23a5b759-9486-4e85-ae7c-ce09d77d997f> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://henryjewel.wordpress.com/2015/12/17/sell-wholesale-beads-at-kids-summer-fayre/ | 2018-05-21T01:30:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863901.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521004325-20180521024325-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.976161 | 578 | [

The opinion of the court was delivered by: Denise Cote, District Judge:
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Pro se plaintiff Luciano Rosario ("Rosario" or "plaintiff") brings this action against defendant New York City Department of Education ("NYCDOE") for employment discrimination pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. ("Title VII"); the New York State Human Rights Law, N.Y. Exec. Law § 290 et seq. ("NYSHRL"); and the New York City Human Rights Law, N.Y. City Admin. Code § 8-101 et seq. ("NYCHRL"). On December 21, 2010, defendant filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiff's December 10, 2010 amended complaint ("the Complaint"). For the following reasons, the defendant's motion to dismiss Rosario's state law claims is granted and the defendant's motion to dismiss Rosario's Title VII claim is denied.
The following facts are drawn from the Complaint and are assumed to be true for the purposes of this motion. Rosario began working for defendant as a per diem substitute teacher in March 2007. In September 2008, the NYCDOE suspended his employment. On June 11, 2009, Rosario filed a charge of discrimination with the New York State Division of Human Rights ("NYSDHR"), claiming that his suspension was the result of discrimination based on his arrest record, marital status, and sex, in violation of Title VII and NYSHRL. On December 18, 2009, the NYSDHR issued its Determination, dismissing Rosario's complaint and finding that there was "no probable cause to believe that [NYCDOE] has engaged in or is engaging in the unlawful discriminatory practice complained of." On June 17, 2010, the EEOC issued a right-to-sue letter adopting the NYSDHR Determination's finding of "no probable cause."
On August 17, 2010, plaintiff filed a complaint alleging discrimination based on race, national origin, and age. Defendant filed a motion to dismiss on December 7, 2010, but on December 10, Rosario filed an amended complaint alleging discrimination based solely on national origin. By Order dated December 14, defendant's December 7 motion to dismiss was terminated as moot.
On December 21, the defendant filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. In opposition to this motion, plaintiff appears to assert that he was replaced with less qualified mathematics teachers after the assistant principal in his school told him that he spoke with a "Dominican accent." He contends that he suffered discrimination because he is from the Dominican Republic. On March 3, 2011, the December 21 motion became fully submitted.
The December 21 motion moves to dismiss the Complaint on two grounds: (1) that election of remedies provisions in both the NYSHRL and the NYCHRL preclude Rosario from bringing his state statutory claims; and, (2) that Rosario has failed to allege facts adequate to state a claim for relief under Title VII.
I. NYSHRL and NYCHRL Claims
NYCDOE contends that since the plaintiff filed an administrative complaint with the NYSDHR, the election of remedies provisions in the NYSHRL and the NYCHRL preclude Rosario from bringing his state law claims in this Court.
Rosario's opposition to the motion does not address this argument.
Section 297 of the NYSHRL provides, in relevant part, that "[a]ny person claiming to be aggrieved by an unlawful discriminatory practice shall have a cause of action in any court of appropriate jurisdiction . . . unless such person had filed a complaint hereunder [with the NYSDHR]." N.Y. Exec. Law § 297(9) (McKinney 2009). Similarly, § 8-502(a) of the NYCHRL provides that "any person claiming to be aggrieved by an unlawful discriminatory practice . . . shall have a cause of action in any court of competent jurisdiction . . . unless such person has filed a complaint with the . . . state division of human rights with respect to such alleged unlawful discriminatory practice." N.Y.C. Admin. Code § 8-502(a) (1999).
Claims need not be identical in order to be barred by the state or city election of remedies provisions.*fn1 See Bhagalia v. State, 644 N.Y.S.2d 398, 399 (App. Div. 1996). A "[c]laimant cannot avoid the jurisdictional bar by merely adding additional elements of damage arising out of the same underlying conduct [or] by changing his legal theory." Id. "[A]ttempts to recover for [the same] injuries under . . . slightly different labels" are subject to dismissal. Horowitz v. Aetna Life Ins., 539 N.Y.S.2d 50, 52 (App. Div. 1989). "The question is whether a sufficient identity of issue exists between the complaint before the division and the instant claim." Spoon v. Am. Agriculturalist, Inc., 478 N.Y.S.2d 174, 175 (App. Div. 1984).
Since the underlying facts of the claim Rosario brought before the NYSDHR are almost identical to those alleged in this case, the plaintiff's state law claims are barred pursuant to NYSHRL § 279(9) and NYCHRL § 8-502(a). Although the NYSDHR complaint alleged discrimination based on arrest record, marital status, and sex as opposed to discrimination based on national origin, the conduct underlying both claims is the same: Rosario contends he was suspended due to a discriminatory practice. By alleging that NYCDOE discriminated against him on the basis of his national origin instead of his arrest ... | <urn:uuid:95ad3efc-37b3-400d-850e-376e087803ed> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://ny.findacase.com/research/wfrmDocViewer.aspx/xq/fac.20110415_0000319.SNY.htm/qx | 2018-05-22T02:46:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864622.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522014949-20180522034949-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.950966 | 1,188 | [

Sebald Events June & July 2012
Norwich was recently named the sixth UNESCO City of Literature. (I happen to live near one of the others, Iowa City, so I know what this designation can mean for a town.) The Norwich Writers’ Centre has all the information, including the city’s bid document, which outlines Norwich’s literary tradition, which, of course, includes W.G. Sebald. The Centre now hosts an annual summer event called Worlds Literature Festival,which promises to be a really big deal. Among the many lieterary figures who will be there in 2012 are J.M. Coetzee, Jeanette Winterson, Tim Parks, Michael Ondaatje, and Teju Cole, author of one of my favorite novels of the 21st century Open City.
A few days later, you’ll want to move about 266 miles southwest of Norwich to Bridport for “Celebrating Sebald” at the Bridport Arts Centre, July 1 at 7:00 PM. Here’s their promotional write-up:
MAX SEBALD’S LEGACY
UWE SCHÜTTE, Reader in German at Aston University, reflects on Max Sebald’s life and work. Dr Schütte’s study of Sebald’s critical writings will be published next year. Screening of PATIENCE (AFTER SEBALD). Introduced by the producer, GARETH EVANS, this new ninety-minute documentary is based on W.G. Sebald’s The Rings of Saturn – an internationally acclaimed account of a meandering walk through Suffolk, the people he meets, the places he visits and the historical and literary reflections prompted by what he sees and senses, taking his mind around the world.
Tickets £10 from the Bridport Arts Centre Box Office
9 South Street, Bridport DT6 3NR
Tel: 01308 424204 email: [email protected]
And if you’re simply too impatient to wait for either of these events, here’s just the thing. Episode Three of the great new podcast That Other Word has a terrific line-up of topics of great interest to Sebald readers. Here’s their description of what you’ll hear:
In this rather German conversation, Daniel Medin and Scott Esposito discuss the melancholy and pleasure in the most recent collection of W.G. Sebald’s poetry to appear in English, Across the Land and the Water: Selected Poems 1964-2001. History is a found object in Sebald, and also in December, a wintry advent calendar of thirty-nine short stories by Alexander Kluge and thirty-nine photographs by Gerhard Richter. Robert Walser’s The Walk may induce laughing out loud at the wilderness, and the thirtieth anniversary of Julio Cortázar and Carol Dunlop’s Autonauts of the Cosmoroute should inspire some very leisurely drives from Paris to Marseilles.
In the second half of the episode, Scott Esposito interviews Benjamin Moser, author of Why This World: A Biography of Clarice Lispector. Moser has recently re-translated Lispector’s last novel, The Hour of the Star, and is currently editing a series of four of her earlier works for New Directions (Near to the Wild Heart, A Breath of Life, Agua Viva, and The Passion According to G.H.). He talks about falling in love with Lispector, his missionary urge to promote her work, The Hour of the Star’s stylistic strangeness and surprising pathos, and why online grammar forums make the work of translation less lonely.
The podcast lasts about an hour and can be listened to right here, right now. | <urn:uuid:8d67a4b1-0a54-4b2a-b21d-b42c1b1d9fb3> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://sebald.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/sebald-events-june-july-2012/ | 2018-05-22T02:31:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864622.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522014949-20180522034949-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.917378 | 799 | [

What to Look for When Purchasing a Used Crane
When in need of a crane as well as financial constraints are in force, a rational option is to acquire a used one. When you've discovered what you should search for, you will be in a good position to make the smartest selection. If for any reason you still feel unsure, there is a choice of hiring a crane examiner to be on the safe side. Nonetheless, when you decide that you're capable of making the call yourself the following tips should prove to be useful.
Check out the cables cautiously
Broken strands or even flat spots in the cables can indicate wear that will make operation hazardous. The level of wear that you observe will become a matter of judgement on its potential lifespan.
Inspect the cables cautiously
Broken strands or flat spots in the cables can indicate wear that can make operation hazardous. The level of wear that you observe will become a matter of judgement on its potential lifespan. There is a good deal more information on plant and machinery sales on this page plant sales.
History and age
Enquire concerning the age of the crane and its history. You will want to make sure that this equipment has not been over used and that it has been appropriately cared for and serviced. In case the crane was used in an environment that placed it in frequent contact with salt water, check for corrosion. While you are at it, check the outriggers to ascertain if they're bent as this can be an indicator of previous abuse.
The packing seals around the cylinders must be free of leaks. Hoses should also be looked over for damage or wear.
Give the crane a test run
Look for smooth operation and the manner in which the crane has the capacity to fully extend. In case there is any type of binding, bending of the tube is suspected as the cause. Additionally, while you are operating the crane, make certain the rotation for tightness in operation and movement in the base pedestal while fully extended.
Look for other signs of a bent tube
These can include wear in ladder rungs, in the main tube and also signs of wear in the first slider.
Ensure that each mounting bolt is securely secured. Any loose hardware may lead to damage to the base plate.
After you've examined all of the belts and also bearings you've finished your test. You will locate more info . with regard to SJH Plant Sale right here plant equipment.
Should you feel comfortable with making this evaluation, keep on. If not, call upon the assistance of a crane appraiser to get an accurate and also fair value of the machine you are thinking about.
Details on second hand plant machinery are accessible right here second hand plant machinery. Based on the facts that you've gathered you can assess a rough estimate of any repairs that the crane may require. This allows you to decide if it is a reasonable purchase for the price tag.
The purchase of a used crane has the chance to be a fantastic purchase if the machinery is in good repair and hasn't been exposed to undue use and abuse. | <urn:uuid:b8068378-7ac9-4e8a-9ca4-181035d6111c> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://secondhandtrenchers.page.tl/What-to-Look-for-When-Purchasing-a-Used-Crane.htm | 2018-05-22T01:57:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864622.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522014949-20180522034949-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.958417 | 625 | [

Few things match the style and beauty of a shake roof. This roofing option is especially popular in the Northwest. If you are thinking about a shake roof for your home, there are some things that you should consider before finalizing your decision. The price, appearance, longevity, and energy efficiency are all things to look at before deciding on any roofing material, including wood shakes.
Shakes are handcrafted from natural wood, unlike wood shingles, which are made on a machine. Handmade shakes have a more distinctive, old-fashioned appearance to them due to the differences in cutting the wood. There are many different types of wood used to produce shakes. The most popular is cedar, but pine and redwood are also used. If you need a fire-resistant roofing option, ask about wood shakes that have a factory-added coating to make them more resistant to fire.
A well-installed shake roof can last longer than a laminate composite roof. Some cedar roofs can last 30 to 40 years, if you take care of them and have regular inspections. If you need inspections or replacements, you can contact us for them. Ideally, you should get a roof look-over twice every year to prevent larger problems. The inspection typically looks for missing or broken shakes or any other problems.
You can call for a roof inspection before your biannual one if you suspect that you have a roof leak, as evidenced by water spots on the ceiling, peeling paint or wallpaper, or other signs of water damage. Another way to ensure your shake roof’s longevity is to keep trees from shading the roof. This prevents shady spots where mold and algae can grow and rot the wood. It also lessens the chances that a tree limb will fall on your roof, causing more serious damage.
Air circulation is important to prevent mold and mildew around your roof. Wood shakes have a small gap below the felt. This gap is desirable and helps to lengthen the life of your roof. You will also notice that the wood shakes help to insulate your attic. Whether the weather is warm or cold, extra attic insulation is always a good thing because it keeps your attic from swinging to temperature extremes and affecting how it feels inside the house. Just because the wood shakes add insulation, that does not mean that you can neglect having proper attic insulation. Having both on your home will save you on your heating and cooling bills by making your home more energy-efficient.
If you are interested in putting a wood shake roof on your home and are interested in how much it will cost, contact us at Hayes Roofing for a written estimate. We will provide the estimate usually the day after the looking over your roof to determine the price it will cost for installation, wooden shakes, and cleanup of the installation materials.

Right now, most people diagnosed with fibromyalgia are treated with the antidepressants Cymbalta made by Eli Lilly, or Savella by Forest Pharmaceuticals, or with Lyrica, a seizure medication from Pfizer — which have all been federally approved for use in fibromyalgia. However, most prescription medications have a long list of adverse side effects. It can also lead to dependency problems for some patients. If you are looking to reduce your medication intake, using the right natural supplements have proven to be a great natural alternative route for people living with Fibromyalgia.
Natural Supplements contain all the essential vitamins and minerals, and are made naturally through whole foods. Many of these have been used medicinally for centuries as alternative treatments.
The benefit of using natural supplement is with Whole foods and their concentrates containing complete nutritional complexes, the body is able to recognize these foods, easily assimilating what it needs and excreting what is doesn’t.
If you're looking for natural supplements for fibromyalgia , consider the following:
Chlorella (Chlorella Sorokiniana)
The primary symptoms of fibromyalgia involve inflammation or pain in joints and muscles, often accompanied by fatigue. This chronic condition is difficult to diagnose and not easy to treat.
In two separate clinical trials, chlorella researchers found that daily therapy with 10 grams of chlorella in tablet form and 100 milliliters of chlorella liquid extract brought improvements in pain, sleep, and anxiety – all common measures of fibromyalgia severity.
Green tea (Camelia sinensis)
For antioxidant and immune effects. Use caffeine-free products. You may also prepare teas from the leaf of this herb.
Cat's claw (Uncaria tomentosa)
For inflammation, immune, and antifungal activity. Cat's claw can interfere with a variety of medications, and may worsen certain conditions, such as leukemia and some autoimmune disorders. Talk to your doctor.
Bromelain (Ananus comosus)
For pain and inflammation. Bromelain can have a blood-thinning effect and increase the effectiveness of blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin and warfarin (Coumadin). People with peptic ulcers should not take bromelain. Bromelain can affect the absorption of certain antibiotics, 5-fluoracil and vincristine, and medications that cause drowsiness, such as benzodiazepines lorazepam (Ativan) or diazepam (Valium), some antidepressants, and narcotics, such as codeine, and barbituates, such as phenobarbitol.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa)
For inflammation. Turmeric can have a blood-thinning effect and can increase the effectiveness of blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin and warfarin (Coumadin).
Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea)
For antioxidant, anti-stress, and immune activity.
Taking natural supplements are a way to strengthen and tone the body's systems. As with any therapy, you should work with your doctor to diagnose your problem before starting any treatment.
You do have lots of choices when it comes to natural supplements and making decisions can thus be tricky. However, by sticking with quality ingredients, you will likely receive a better product and a better outcome as well.
Organic Certified Natural Supplement is generally worth the money. Since your health is an investment, spending a little more for an organic natural supplement stands out as a wise choice.
Organic supplements are made using organic food sources and, as a result, they should have no chemicals or additives. These types of vitamins are a great choice for those who are health conscious or have many allergies.

Chlorella has so many tremendous potential benefits. Taking chlorella is one step that reduces the toxic burden in the body safely.
In this blog, I will explore the nutritional aspects, proven health benefits, and reasons to consider eating or supplementing chlorella.
On November 11, 2014, scientists found a virus called chlorella virus ATCV-1. This virus can affect the cognitive abilities of healthy people.
We took a closer look at the research paper and found that the chlorella virus will only infect certain species of chlorella.
The question you should be asking is, "what species of chlorella can help you avoid the virus?"
Kathleen M. Zelman, MPH, RD, LD released an article entitled: The Truth About Detox Diets. In the article, the author says that:
“...Your body is an expert at getting rid of toxins no matter what you eat. Toxins don’t build up in your liver, kidneys, or any other part of your body, and you’re not going to get rid of them with the latest detox wonder.”
So it this true? Can you really not detox your body? | <urn:uuid:c06d9d9e-a8a9-4c44-97b0-d9109e984a14> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.bio2gohealth.com/blogs/news/natural-supplements-for-fibromyalgia | 2018-05-24T01:54:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865884.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524014502-20180524034502-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.925569 | 1,061 | [

Applications of Prestressed AFRP Bars in Concrete Railroad Ties
MetadataShow full item record
Since the 1970’s concrete railroad ties have become more and more prominent in the railroad industry. Their improved durability and increased safety over traditional timber ties has paved the way for new and more efficient concrete ties to be developed. Prestressing with steel strands was a key design aspect in providing the strength the ties needed to overcome the tonnage seen in heavy haul lines spread across the United States and the world. A major flaw seen with these concrete ties is deterioration due to environment or fatigue loading under the connected rail. This deterioration can lead to a change in gauge of the track structure which can then cause derailment of trains. A second issue found in concrete ties that was not found in timber is the electrical conductivity. Timber is a highly insulating material while concrete possesses insulating and conductive properties based on the amount of moisture present. This is an issue because track structures use the steel rails to carry electrical signals to detect the presence of a train within a signaled block. During construction, the steel strands may come into contact with the embedded steel shoulders on both sides of the tie, therefore creating a direct circuit that needs to be insulated from the steel rails. Aramid fiber-reinforced polymer bars have shown promise, as an electrical non-conductive material, to fix the problem of false signaling due to electrical shorts. AFRP is a composite material made of Kevlar fibers bound in a polymer resin. This material has a tensile strength of approximately 200 ksi and has been investigated for use as a replacement for steel in such structures as concrete bridge girders and decks. The objective of this research is to design and test new concrete railroad ties utilizing AFRP as the prestressing material. Four of these ties were constructed and tested for strength following the guidelines provided by the American Railroad Engineering and Maintenance-of-way Association (AREMA). Bending tests at the rail seat section and center section of the tie were performed to prove strength adequacy, and electrical resistivity tests were performed to prove insulation from the current in the rails. The AFRP ties showed to have over twice the electrical resistance of their steel counterparts with 2.42 MΩ of resistance compared to 1.11 MΩ. The strength comparison proved inconclusive, for although the ties did not fail, they did not meet AREMA cracking requirements for strength. A major factor that was seen was in the method of testing AREMA provides, through improved testing procedures, AFRP shows to be very promising as a full replacement of steel as prestressing reinforcement for concrete railroad ties.

The U.S has the largest transportation system in the world. Astronomical references are often used to put the enormity of the system into perspective. Thus a recent DOT study reported that the nation’s 4 million miles of roads would go the “moon and back 8 times”; its rail lines would “circle the globe 7 times”; and that the 2.2 trillion miles traveled by cars and trucks in 2000 is “nearly one-tenth the distance to the nearest star outside our solar system.”
At one time transportation was the primary means of gathering information and communicating with people in different parts of the country. Today most travel is undertaken as a means to an economic end. We drive to work because we need the income. Businesses order supplies from other states and countries because that is where they are available at least cost. Except for pleasure trips – a very small share of total travel demand - transportation is an intermediate good. Choice of mode is based on economic considerations such as cost, as well as speed, reliability, and convenience.
Transportation and economic efficiency are
more closely linked than ever today. In prior years manufacturers held massive
inventories in warehouses and transported goods in large consolidated batches.
Today “just in time” manufacturing systems require smaller, more frequent, and
precisely timed shipments. Free trade agreements linking North American and
global markets have resulted in sharp growth in cross-border and waterborne
freight shipments. These changes have raised expectations as to the speed and
reliability of transportation throughout the
The increased demands placed on the transportation system are well documented. Goods valued at more than 70% of total GDP are transported over the nation’s highways, railroads, airlines, and port facilities. Since 1960 total ton-miles of freight carried by all modes have nearly doubled, while ton-miles hauled by trucks have increased by a factor of four. Passenger car travel has grown nearly three-fold over the past four decades, to 1.6 trillion vehicle miles in 2000.
Transportation also influences land use patterns. The Federal Highway System facilitated urban sprawl, allowing workers to live in ever more distant suburbs while working downtown. In most metro areas radial highway capacity did not keep pace with suburban commuter traffic. The suburbanization of office space and jobs over past few decades is in part a response to increased congestion on radial highways leading into city centers. These suburban office complexes are “automobile friendly,” spread far apart with vast expanses of parking lots in between. Ironically, the suburbanization of economic activity has resulted in an increase in commuter times and distances, albeit shifting the activity from radial movement (suburb to downtown) to tangential movement between suburbs.
Infrastructure Demand and Supply
Despite the increased demands placed on it, the carrying capacity of the nation’s transportation infrastructure has changed very little in recent years. This is especially true for highways, which have borne the brunt of increased freight and passenger traffic[GAH1]. Since 1980 interstate highway lane miles have risen by 16%, while vehicle miles traveled on this roads increased 123%. Not surprisingly the economic costs of highway congestion nationwide – which include the value of time and fuel wasted while sitting in traffic - are enormous and rising rapidly. To this must be added the adverse impact of congestion on highway safety, air quality, noise, and producer costs.
But highway capacity is often difficult to measure, especially over long periods of time. A commonly used capacity measure - lane miles - does not reflect changes in roadway quality, durability, or safety. Moreover, driving habits affect the capacity measure. Drivers in 2000 were moving at faster speeds with less space between vehicles than their counterparts fifteen years earlier. Effective highway capacity may therefore be expanding faster than the sluggish growth in lane miles would indicate[GAH2].
This ambiguity raises questions as to the need for additional highway infrastructure. The economic test for infrastructure investment involves computing all the benefits and costs of projects and then their rate of return. If the rate of return exceeds the costs of the funds – the interest rate – the investment is worthwhile. Research shows that highway infrastructure meets the cost/benefit test by a comfortable margin. At the national level, every $1 invested in highway expansion generates approximately 30 cents of “cost savings” annually over the life of the road improvements, implying a “payback” time of only four years to recoup the costs of new highway projects. This suggests that the economic benefits of investing $1 in new public highway construction are equal to, if not greater than, the benefits of investing $1 in the private sector. (See Nadiri.)
A mismatch between demand and supply is also evident for non-highway modes. Railroads operate far fewer miles of intercity track today than fifty years ago, but carry more ton-miles of freight. In air transportation, the number of aircraft operated by private air carriers has increased by more than 30% since 1990, while the number of airports serving commercial planes has actually shrunk. The increased utilization of existing transportation facilities, coupled with limited prospects for future expansion, raises the specter of deterioration. So far we have avoided this. Surveys show that the condition of our roads, bridges, and airport runways has generally improved over the past decade even as performance, as measured by congestion and average travel times, has worsened.
Modal Choices: Highways v. Rail v. Intermodal
Since World War II highways have supplanted railroads as the principal inter-city transportation system for both passenger and rail traffic. Today more than 80 percent of all passenger miles are associated with private automobiles. Rail transportation carries only a small percentage of total passenger trips today, with most of those occurring in commuter rather than inter-city rail lines.
Trucks carry the lion’s share of fright traffic when measured in dollar value. Larger, more fuel efficient trucks combined with a more extensive highway system have increased the competitiveness of trucks vis a vis rail for most products and distances. (The distance at which rail-truck service is competitive with truck only is now typically around 850 miles.) Trucks’ share of total freight traffic will increase as E-commerce and leaner inventories put a premium on speed, flexibility, and reliability. Trucks also benefit from a de-facto subsidy, paying far less fuel tax relative to the wear and tear they put on highways than automobiles.
For freight transportation, however, rail and air are still significant modes. Freight railroads carry approximately 40% of the nation’s ton-miles of freight. Economic deregulation of airlines and railroads have changed the structure of those industries and – because of enhanced competition within each industry – brought improved service and lower fares. Airlines and railroads have experienced major consolidation through mergers and strategic alliances. Since 1980 railroads carry 50% more freight while reducing their track by 35%, their locomotives by 32%, and their employees by 60%. These efficiencies have been passed on to shippers through rate reductions.
Government involvement in transportation finance
also influences the choice of mode. In the
Intermodal freight shipments are growing faster than freight moved by a single mode. The era of intermodal transportation began in earnest mid-1980s when ocean carriers, railroads, and truckers teamed up to launch container service. The “container revolution” allows a single unit to be transferred seamlessly by truck, rail, water, or air with substantial reduction in transit time, expense, and damage, and theft. Free trade initiatives have triggered much of the rise in intermodal freight traffic, but the reverse is also true: the efficiencies made possible by intermodalism have fostered growth in international trade. (See Dempsey for a discussion of the history and benefits of containerization.)
Intermodal transport is also an integral part of the internet revolution. E-commerce and Just In Time systems train customers and businesses to order at the last minute and expect overnight delivery. In such a world fulfillment and delivery as important as product cost and quality. Overnight air-truck delivery of a single item to a single customer is reasonable given these expectations. At the same time, parties engaged in intermodal transport are using electronic interfaces to enhance connectivity and to improve the flow of information between systems. They are making increased use of innovative ITS techniques – including internet based freight car ordering, car tracing, pricing, and billing.
Transportation Productivity: Doing More With Less
Despite the vast increase in passenger and freight traffic, transportation spending has declined as a percent of GDP. Freight costs have shown the most dramatic change, falling from 9% of GDP in 1960 to about 6% today. There are many reasons for this: Trucks are larger and more fuel-efficient; railroads operate with fewer workers and less equipment; Fuel costs have stabilized. Intermodal connectivity among rail, truck, and waterborne modes has increased[GAH3]. Overarching everything is the shift from a manufacturing-based economy to one based on services and information.
Two public policy decisions play a large role in the increase in transportation productivity. First was the decision to build a national interstate highway system. In the twenty years following passage of the 1956 Highway Act, interstate route mileage exceeded the growth of both trucks and passenger vehicles. When highway growth slowed in the 1970s a second policy decision – economic deregulation of trucking, airlines, and railroads – enhanced the ability of private transportation companies to utilize existing infrastructure.
Unfortunately, the positive impacts of both infrastructure expansion and deregulation have long since “peaked.” The “highway model” embodied in Eisenhower-era interstate legislation effectively ended in the 1970s. Interstate highway mileage (measured in lane miles) has increased only 16% since 1980, while vehicle miles traveled on those roads increased 123%. Not surprisingly, the performance of the Interstate Highway System has deteriorated. The Texas Transportation Institute estimates that travel under severe or extremely congested conditions doubled from 1982 to 1997 – costing $72 billion in wasted fuel and time.
Highways are increasingly viewed
not merely in traditional economic terms (as capital investment) but in terms
of how they impact air and water quality, noise, land use patterns, and other
external effects. Because of such concerns it is practically impossible to
envisage a program to greatly expand the
Nor is it likely, in the wake of the post 9/11 reductions in air passenger traffic, that airport capacity will soon be expanded. There is a renewed interest in railroads because of their advantages in terms of safety, fuel efficiency, pollution, and other environmental impacts. But the cost cutting engendered by rail deregulation has by some reports weakened the ability of many rail carriers to deliver reliable freight service[GAH4].
What Will “Drive”
Transportation in the
What will replace the historical
strategic drivers of transportation capacity in the
- Technology. Transportation and telecommunications networks will meld, producing a fully automated highway system. Such a system will gather information on road conditions and automatically pass that information on to vehicles and other infrastructure. ITS technologies will include collision warning and avoidance device, guidance devices, electronic brakes, electronically controlled steering, and other sensors to supplement – and perhaps replace – human driving judgment.
- Homeland security. Just as the National Defense Highway System was the transportation system’s response to the Cold War, a “National Interstate Security and Logistics System” may be needed now, as has been suggested in another Hudson Institute paper. This system would use GPS technology to track all components of the supply-chain: containers, chassis, rail cars, trailers, trucks, etc. Trucks and freight trains may be required to file “trip plans” much like aircraft file “flight plans, with any deviation from plan triggering a security response. While Homeland Security is the immediate goal, the technology could support anther revolution in supply-chain logistics
- Variable-pricing policies. Demand-side strategies like time of day and distance pricing will be enabled by the new technology embedded in infrastructure and vehicles. Traditionally transportation pricing has been used to discourage travel at certain times and places. Another approach, suggested in a Hudson Institute study, would link price with a guaranteed level of service – speed will always be 40mph or greater in the premium toll lanes, for example. Variable pricing regimes will help reduce dependency on motor fuel taxes.
- Financial innovations. Inflation and increased fuel economy have reduced the elasticity of motor fuel taxes relative to economic growth and highway usage. New, non-fuel tax revenues are needed to fund highway infrastructure. The trend to non-traditional finance is already well established, with states allowed to use toll road investments, private funds, publicly donated right-of-ways, and the value of ITS technology installed along highways towards its share of federal-state matching funds. New legislation allows state DOTs to help public or private entities borrow federal funds to help construct toll roads. The two forces – debt leverage and public-private partnerships – have yet to be fully exploited in transportation finance.
A Most-likely Transportation Scenario
Perhaps the most plausible scenario is that the nation will accommodate growing transportation demand by marginal increases in the amount spent on traditional transportation infrastructure; large increases in ITS technology; limited implementation of variable price regimes; continued moving away from the most congested locations; and by accepting increased congestion at choke points. This “muddle through” scenario might be tolerable, but it will leave us far from the economic optimum.

[GAH1]There is an interesting point to be made here. During the 1960’s and 70’s we were building the system with a capacity that exceeded demand. Through the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s demand grew while capacity remained approximately constant.
[GAH2]I guess I know why this paragraph was added but I am not sure that I agree that it should be here as a freestanding paragraph. In the overall scheme of things this is not a major effect. Fred’s point about we are driving faster and following closer together is true. As Don said, we used to think of 1300 vehicles per lane per hour but now we have 1500 and 1700. Perhaps in the discussion of capacity increases we could add that the driving habits have changed and increased capacity about 15%, or something like that. This sounds like a significant increase in capacity but when traffic is flowing at this point it has slowed down. There is no free space on the highway and the slightest disturbance (a police car with flashing lights sitting in the opposite direction lanes) causes the flow to hesitate and immediately a large queue of stop and go traffic forms behind the disturbance.
[GAH3]Is part of the reason the fact that service industry part of GDP has grown and does not require the physical movement of goods? Don’t know if we want to add this or not.
[GAH4]This seems like a strong statement. Is it true that railroads are having difficulty providing reliable freight service? | <urn:uuid:4ce23b09-ace2-49c5-a0b5-6739ad526d9d> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.esrresearch.com/Futureoftransportation.htm | 2018-05-28T02:56:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794870771.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20180528024807-20180528044807-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.944821 | 3,513 | [

Skip to comments.Obama bets on young veterans (They're serious!)
Posted on 07/11/2012 12:45:38 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
President Barack Obama is trying to win over a historically difficult demographic for Democrats: veterans.
And theres some evidence in last weeks otherwise unimpressive jobs numbers that its not an impossible mission.
The unemployment rate appears to be dipping for post 9/11 veterans, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In the first six months of 2012, that figure has mostly stayed below 10 percent, in contrast to 2011, when the unemployment rate for that group hit double digits every month that year except for August.
These mostly younger veterans, known officially as Gulf War Era-II veterans, have experienced higher rates of unemployment than just about any other demographic in the country. According to last Fridays figures, that number is now at 9.5 percent, down from last Junes 13.3 percent.
The trend is promising, although unemployment figures are volatile, said Rob Diamond, director for the Obama campaigns veterans and military families outreach initiative...
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Remember that veterans who are stationed abroad have been given great leeway in voting, on-line voting and extended voting periods. Democrats could very easily manipulate the military votes to fit any scenario necessary, in any region of the country.
Remember that the Democrats tried to block the military vote in Florida because they knew that the military vote would favor Bush in 2000.
Thank goodness Iraq was almost totally pacified by the time this buffoon took office.
Funny, the vets that I’ve talked to about Obama usually use their middle finger when discussing their opinions about the Dork-in-Chief.
Right... these veterans will have all the faith in the world in Obama... after all, look how smoothly he's handled the war in Afghanistan.
0bama gives work visas to illegal aliens and he wants to help veterans find jobs. 0bama gives work visas to illegal aliens and he wants to help young black kids find jobs. 0bama is truly amazing. He can do anything. /s
Obama thinks he can win the veteran vote?
Wow. Maybe he can be impeached for being insane!
I have regular contact with many different military organizations both active and inactive. Very few veterans support Obama because of his shoving perverts on them, wanting to raise their insurance costs and because they know he truly has no respect for them....
I could see him winning over the corpse-men votes!
katie is sniffing too much glueck.
Only way this will happen is with massive voter fraud (not that I’m ruling that out!)
They are dreaming. The VFW is finding vets jobs in Canada, Obama got nothing.
“work visas to illegal aliens”
You can argue against issuing work visas to foreigners with skills American companies want to employ - but people here on work visas are not illegal aliens.
Unless you know something about it I don’t.
Let’s see how getting the veteran vote works our for the Dems! They are desperate, they’ve done everything they can to screw them, as well as deny their votes.
Yeah, a Gallup survey released a few weeks ago gave Romney at 20+ point advantage among veterans of all ages. Even if Barry O gets a few votes among younger vets, it won’t be enough to turn the tide. In fact, Gallup’s analysis of that poll said Romney’s dominant position among vets is the one factor that is keeping him within the margin of error, or with a slight lead.
Naturally, the press is depicting this as superior political strategy by the Anointed One. In reality, it’s a sign of desperation. Put another way, his “base” is tapped out, and they’re looking for more voters in every nook and cranny of the electorate.

Sorry Democratic Senatorial Campaign Comittee, but your latest little video project kind of fails. The plan is to attack two Republican candidates for Senate, our own Charlie Crist and New Hampshire Attorney General Kelly Ayotte (who?), by comparing them to Sarah Palin. Reason: They're all resigning.

CK12 News | November
We’ve gotten lots of requests on lessons to teach post-election, particularly from teachers who worry that some of their students are afraid or disheartened (whether their candidate won or lost.) The key is to empower students – make them see that they (at any age) can act and make a difference. And use moments from our history to show that fear can be overcome.
One of our favorite Carolina K-12 lessons is Lumbee Fight for Justice: The Battle of Hayes Pond, about the brave confrontation North Carolina’s Lumbee staged to protest a KKK rally near Maxton, NC on the night of January 18, 1958. The Lumbee literally sent the Klan running into the woods. Check it out. And remember, we are here if you need us.
1. Reflections on Japanese Internment with the Broadway Play Allegiance
Tuesday, December 13, 2016 | 4:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Chapel Hill Public Library & Silverspot Cinema
And it seems to me important for a nation to certainly know about its glorious achievements, but also to know where its ideals failed, in order to keep that from happening again. George Takei
In 1942, over 127,000 Japanese-American men, women, and children—the majority of whom were American citizens—were removed from their homes and relocated to camps under the watchful eye of the American government. K-12 teachers are invited to join Carolina K-12 for a special event to explore this complicated history through the unique lens of the new Broadway musical, Allegiance, which teachers will have the rare opportunity to view.
Teachers will begin this special evening at the Chapel Hill Public Library with a catered dinner and lecture with Dr. Heidi Kim, Associate Professor, UNC-Chapel Hill, who will provide a foundational overview of Japanese Internment, including historical context for how this forced relocation was decided, enforced and executed. We will also examine the impact on (both during and after) and individual experiences of those interned, as well as the response from the American public.
Following dinner, teachers head 4 minutes down the road to to attend a showing of the Broadway musical, Allegiance, at Chapel Hill’s premier movie theatre, Silverspot Cinema. With this unique and innovative set up, teachers will enjoy a live stream of the New York City based musical from the Silverspot’s leather recliners in Chapel Hill! Set during Japanese American internment (with a framing story set in the present day) the musical follows the Kimura family in the years following the attack on Pearl Harbor, as they are forced to leave their farm in Salinas, California and are sent to the Heart Mountain internment camp in the rural plains of Wyoming. Staring George Takei, the show brings to life this family’s extraordinary journey in this untold American story. Their loyalty was questioned, their freedom taken away, but their spirit could never be broken.
Prior to the start of Allegiance, Eric Muller, UNC-Chapel Hill Professor of Law, will offer some context regarding the story line of the musical, and also encourage the audience to think critically about the challenges of placing a complex story into the format of musical theater.
Teachers don’t want to miss this unique opportunity to learn about this often under told history, not only through dynamic presentations from Carolina scholars, but through a special live theatre screening of the critically acclaimed Broadway musical Allegiance.

I heard the name Ralph uttered today while I was at the store, and for some reason, it made me remember a book I used to read over and over when I was a kid ... Ralph S. Mouse. That made me remember the author Beverly Cleary, which made me think "Hmm, I wonder what ever happened to her?" And that is how my Web search began ...
This lady is 97 and still spunky! I read her books so much as a kid, yet never knew what she looked like until today. She also wrote the Ramona books that eventually hit the big screen. That's what she discusses in the video.
She has this really cool interactive website that is perfect for kids. Check it out - Beverly Cleary
I applaud those who have been able to make book writing their career. So many of us dream that dream, don't we? | <urn:uuid:29196e5c-1c07-43f4-8e10-4acbb556a0ff> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://novellarella.blogspot.com/2013/01/book-blast-from-past.html | 2018-05-22T06:25:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864626.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522053839-20180522073839-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.989631 | 178 | [

Take time for YOU! Even just a few minutes can make a difference and help you recharge. Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth for 5-10 minutes is a great way to meditate. This lowers your stress, which may help you be a better caregiver.
Stick to a routine. Put it on a calendar and try not to budge on it. Routines help you feel in control and can let your loved one know what to expect. Consistency is especially important for people with dementia, because it provides a sense of security.
Ask for help. Even a few hours "off duty" can help you recharge. Think of family, friends, or neighbors to call when you need a break. Insurance might pay for other care resources. Our Sales and Outreach Directors have many resources to help you navigate resources and options, even if you would like to keep your loved one at home.
Sleep is vital. Take naps if needed during the day. Drink less caffeine, more water. Do meditation exercises before bed and keep electronics away while trying to get sleep.
Join a Support Group. (Aurora has a great one!) No one understands your situation better than another caregiver. Or consider joining an online community, where you can connect with others, ask questions, vent when you need to, and share ideas. Click here to see dates/times for our monthly Caregiver Support Group.
Know what your limits are. List out everything that you need to do, including all of the things you do for your loved one, rides, cooking, and household chores. Sort out which ones someone else might be able to do. Remember to say no when you need to, and set boundaries so you can stay ready to help.
Utilize technology as a resource. Technology can be a caregiver's best friend. Buy pillboxes that sound an alarm when it's time for the next dose, or try a smartphone app. Google home is another great device that can help manage your day and help with tasks when your hands are full. *** Ask us about iN2L at Aurora on France.
Get an emergency alert device, such as Fairview Lifeline. Consider an electronic "help" button for when you can't be there. It's called a personal emergency response system (PERS), and your loved one wears it like a pin or a necklace. Most connect to the phone system. Some will notify a family member or call 911, depending on your preference. You’ll pay a monthly fee for the service.
Reminisce. Get out of your head for a minute and take time to enjoy the little things about who your loved one is. Music and art can spark fun shared moments for you and the person you're caring for. Familiar melodies can bring back memories and may lead to clapping or dancing. Keep art projects simple and safe but not too childlike. Painting or making a collage from magazines are two good options. Listening to music or working on an art project can be a great stress reliever for you, too. Celebrate the little things.

This individual was a male Troxan who served his species as a diplomat during the Clone Wars. On Coruscant, this Troxan visited the Jedi Temple to deliver an incendiary packet addressed to High Master Yoda. The Troxan was greeted at the door by a youngling, which he took as a slight—he wanted to speak only to a full-fledged Jedi. The boy, a Padawan named Whie Malreaux, was soon joined by his master, Jedi Master Maks Leem, who used the Force to calm the Troxan envoy. She swore to deliver the package directly to Yoda, and the Troxan handed it over. He then boarded a flier and flew away. | <urn:uuid:2fc9ebc5-d02e-4297-bb47-8b9907f637f3> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Unidentified_Troxan_diplomat | 2018-05-23T05:32:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865450.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523043959-20180523063959-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.988054 | 147 | [

DAMAGE worth $200,000 has been caused to a residence in Burnie last night.
It was one of several fires to have taken place in the North- West yesterday - a taste of things to come in the looming fire season.
About 6.40pm yesterday, crews were called to the property in Hodgman Street, where they arrived to find flames escaping the second level of a weatherboard house.
Four crews from both Burnie and Somerset fought to save the house, but could not prevent severe internal damage from being caused to the second level.
Police as well as fire crews attended the scene.
The fire was declared under control about 8pm before being placed on an overnight fire watch.
Investigators this morning will seek to uncover the cause of the blaze, which has not been labelled as suspicious.No injuries were reported from the incident. | <urn:uuid:5cbd14e7-4dd2-43b5-9aea-8f3bcd5a0ec1> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.theadvocate.com.au/story/1138233/200k-damage-bill-from-burnie-blaze/?cs=87 | 2018-05-26T06:17:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867311.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526053929-20180526073929-00036.warc.gz | en | 0.985395 | 175 | [

After more than four decades as a police officer Clive Weighill has figured out what it’s all about, “It’s a people business.”
Saskatoon’s chief of police hung up his hat on Friday, as he embarks on holidays before his retirement officially starts on Oct. 1.
Weighill has headed the department in the bridge city since Sept. 1, 2006.
He said it was a bittersweet day but he’s looking forward to the next chapter.
“I’m a car enthusiast, I’d like to buy myself a 1956 Crown Victoria that’s kind of my favorite car,” Weighill said.
The only concrete plans Weighill has for the future right now are a couple vacations and moving to Regina to be closer to his grandchildren and family.
He’s not ruling out a bit more work “I would like to do some consulting in the future, I think I can talk a little bit on leadership and change management and maybe relationship building.” Weighill said.
According to Weighill, things have changed a lot since his career began in 1975.
“The biggest change I see in policing right now and with police officers is the world around us you know we have a lot more cosmopolitan atmosphere here in Saskatoon,” said Weighill. “Social media has really made a big difference in everybody’s life now with instant news everywhere.”
The best attributes a police officer can have according to Weighill is being able to talk to people, to understand and have some empathy.
“I get a lot of phone calls here from people pleased with our response and it’s not because we’re solving their crime,” he said. “It’s because the way they’re treated by a police officer that impresses them.”
The board of police commissioners is working on finding a replacement for the chief who has been at the helm for 11 years.
Weighill said the best piece of advice he can give to his successor is to take advantage of every chance to work with the community. | <urn:uuid:012f92ec-fab2-4bbf-a3e0-8a50d9b80d04> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.ckom.com/2017/09/02/132995/ | 2018-05-27T05:10:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794868003.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527044401-20180527064401-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.981728 | 461 | [

I’m the accounts manager at our Hamilton office, which involves paying all the bills for the running of the business – basically, I keep the lights on and the phones ringing. I think it’s rare to find a business that still has such a ‘family’ feel to it even after the significant growth we’ve experienced in recent years. We’re a close-knit group who work well together and support one another on a daily basis.
There really was no life before Leah Jay – this was my first full-time job since completing my HSC, and I’ve been here ever since! My role has evolved over time from administration assistant and reception support to accounts manager. My mother is an accountant and so are my sister and brother-in-law, so getting into the financial/accounting side of things seemed like a natural step.
I’m a self-confessed TV and movie geek – I’m constantly going to fan/comic conventions here in Australia to meet my favourite actors and I’ve also attended conventions in America to meet some more ‘A-list’ celebrities. On one of my most memorable trips, I met some of the cast of Marvel’s The Avengers! | <urn:uuid:b5d19549-efe6-45c4-8cb5-44d81e51ccfa> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://leahjay.com.au/our-people/nicole-roach/ | 2018-05-27T05:11:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794868003.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527044401-20180527064401-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.958428 | 261 | [

How could I find out whether a book... has had its copyright renewed? Is there any method other than paying a copyright search company?First of all, you need to know when renewal matters. In the US, books published before 1964 had to get their copyrights renewed at the Library of Congress Copyright Office in their 28th year, or they'd fall into the public domain. Some books originally published outside the US by non-Americans are exempt from this requirement, and in fact some such books had their copyrights restored recently. If you need to know more about the rules for books published outside the US, see this page from the Copyright Office, explaining recent changes in copyright law imposed by GATT. Basically a work is exempt from renewal requirements if all of the following conditions apply:
If you can prove any of these conditions don't apply, and the work was originally published or copyrighted before 1964, then the work had to be renewed in order to stay copyrighted in the US.
Wikipedia has a page on Non-US copyrights that has more information about the details of US copyright restoration from various countries, though I can't vouch for the accuracy of the information there.
Up until 1998, renewed copyrights ran an additional 47 years (hence, 75 years total), rounded up to the end of the calendar year. A copyright extension bill signed that year extended copyrights still in force for an additional 20 years. However, since copyrights from 1922 had already expired, anything copyrighted before 1923 is now in the public domain in the United States, even if its copyright was renewed. Copyrights from 1923 to 1963, if not renewed, and not made exempt from the renewal requirement (see above) have also expired.
There are a few ways to find out whether a copyright was renewed. Some are easier than others; some are more definite in their answers than others.
One easy way to check, sometimes, is just to see if there was any edition published more than 28 years after the original edition, and see if there's a renewal notice in that newer edition. This doesn't always work-- a lot of books simply don't get reprinted-- but if there is such an edition, it can be an easy check to make.
Another way that doesn't involve an exhaustive copyright record search is to write to the author, or their agent or estate, or to the last publisher of the book, and see if they can tell you whether the book's copyright was renewed. Of course, you might not always be able to reach them, and they might not always cooperate, but people on the Net have done this before and found out what they wanted to know. Sometimes, even if the copyright has been renewed, by mailing them you might be able to convince them to let an edition go online anyway.
It's also possible to do a search yourself of the copyright records. For 1978 onward, they're online at the Copyright Office, and below I'll describe how you can search their online records. Copyright records from prior years are now also online in page image form (and sometimes in more convenient form as well).
Copyright records prior to 1978 can also be found in print and microform at the Library of Congress, and at other major libraries around the country, including many Federal Depository Libraries. A few libraries known to have a reasonably full set are the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, the Free Library of Philadelphia (in microform), the University of Chicago library, and the University of California, Los Angeles.
Since a copyright renewal has to be sometime in the 28th year, you'd look for renewals in the records for the original copyright date plus 27 years and the original date plus 28 years. So if the copyright was originally 1941, you'd look at the volumes for 1968 and 1969 to see if there was a renewal. I've recently been told that occasionally the Library of Congress will be slow in publishing renewals (i.e. some renewals made in December in some years don't actually get published until the following January), so you may have to look in the original copyright date plus 29 years to catch these.
I've done this myself for some books. It's a bit of a cumbersome process-- you have to get to the library, and get the appropriate volumes, and then look up the author and the title-- but it can be done.
Finally, there are also commercial agencies that will also search for you. Their fees may be higher or lower than LOC's, and they might be also able to track down publishers, authors, and heirs for you as well, if needed.
So there are a number of different ways you can go about it, depending on what you're most comfortable with. As I said above, though, if the book is actually out of print and there isn't much in the way of royalties at stake, the original author may well be willing to have an edition go online, whether or not the copyright was renewed, especially if you can show how the online book will give his or her work many more generations of audience.
One important note: remember that if a book contains material previously published elsewhere, that material may still be protected under its own copyright. You can't assume that a book as a whole is in the public domain unless you've determined that the copyrights for the book and for any previously published material included in the book have expired. Note also that materials may not always be in the categories you expect: for example, some pulp fiction "books" were registered as periodicals, and some annual or particularly large "periodicals" were registered as books.
If you simply want to see a book online, and suspect its copyright has expired, you could see if the book has been scanned by a mass digitization service. If it has been scanned, but is not viewable in full, they might be willing to try to clear the book themselves, and turn it on for full view if it appears to be out of copyright. This won't give you a definitive answer on the book's public domain status (since they might be wrong), but it may at least give you full access to the book you want, for little or no cost. Some projects are starting to investigate user-triggered copyright clearance I don't know of any yet that have a formal public mechanism for this, but I will update this page if I hear of any. In the meantime, requests for pre-1964 books that may be out of copyright can be sent to The Online Books Page for public recording, and possible eventual full posting online.
Searching these scans works much like searching the printed volumes as described above. If you're looking for the renewal of a book that was originally published in year X, then you'll need to look for the renewal records in years X+27 and years X+28 (and X+29, if the Copyright Office is running slow). Look up both the title and the authors of the book, in both the January-June sections, and the July-December sections. Also, if portions of the book were originally published elsewhere (such as in a magazine), or includes artwork, there may be separate copyrights for the magazine, earlier book, artwork, or the magazine version of the work. You may therefore have to search renewals in those categories as well.
Failure to find a renewal record here does not necessarily mean that the book is in the public domain. Because of changes in copyright law, books published in 1964 or later, and many books that were originally published outside the US by non-American authors, do not have to register or renew in order to be copyrighted. (See above for details.) Also, it's possible for a number of works by a particular author, or published in a particular magazine, to be covered under one blanket copyright that may or may not mention the individual pieces by name. So when researching the copyright for a particular piece, you should know its author and publication history, and use this information in your record searches as well.
You may also want to check with the original author, or their estate or publisher, if you want to avoid possible problems.
Here's a quick, step-by-step version of how to search the copyright listings, using J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye as an example.
Start at the Copyright Catalog search page. You can then look up works by their title, name of author or copyright claimant, or other criteria. The title and name search options are based on prefixes, and there's also a relevance-ranked keyword search. To look up the Catcher in the Rye, for instance, we could select the "Title" option, and then type in
Catcher in the Ryein the search box. (Note that the instructions tell us to omit the initial article, so we left off the "the".) When we hit return or select "Begin Search", we'll see the start of a list of results (which had 63 items in it when I tried this).
Or, we could select the "Name" option, and type in the author's name, last name first. We could, for instance, type in
Salinger, JAt this writing, that produced a list of 49 items. If we wanted to do a keyword search instead, we could select the keyword option and enter something like
salinger catcher ryeBut note that this turns up many more items (over 3000 when I tried it), including those that only match some of the keywords. This can be useful for popping a possibly relevant result up to the top, particularly if you and the Copyright Office records don't agree on the exact forms of title and author names. But you probably won't be able to do an exhaustive scan of the results, and if you put in common words like "in" and "the", it may take a very long time for the search to complete.
A more precise form of keyword search is the "Command Keyword" option. Here you'll have to follow the special command keyword syntax, which includes putting things like AND or OR between search terms. If we select that option and try
salinger AND catcher AND ryewe get a much shorter results list (18 when I tried) where only the items with all 3 keywords, spelled exactly as typed, will appear. (If you're checking for the absence of a record, you should do the search in a number of ways to be sure; go through the lists produced by title and author searches, and try a keyword search as well just to be safe.)
The results list will come up in the form of a table, with columns that include "Full Title", "Copryight Number", and "Date" (as well as some other columns in some other searches). If the results list contains more than 25 items, they will be displayed 25 at a time, with "previous" and "next" links to go forward and backward in the list.
To find renewals, look for Copyright Numbers starting with "RE". (One quick way to find many such records is to resort the results by Date (ascending). Since the renewal records tend to be indexed by the date of the of the initial registration, which tends to be prior to 1978, the renewal records will usually appear before other records when you sort by ascending date.)
If you did the search right, and you go through the results list, you should spot a row looking something like this:
|Catcher in the rye. By Jerome David Salinger.||RE0000018341||1951|
So it looks like it's been renewed. The "RE" registration numbers represent a renewal. (If you see "TX", this represents an initial text copyright.)
If I want to see more details about this registration, I select the link that's on the title. I then get a record that looks something like this:
|Type of Work:||Text|
|Registration Number / Date:||RE0000018341 / 1979-01-22|
|Renewal registration for: A00000056070 / 1951-06-11|
|Title:||The Catcher in the rye. By Jerome David Salinger.|
|Copyright Claimant:||Jerome David Salinger (A)|
|Basis of Claim:||New Matter: all matter except two incidents.|
|Variant title:||The Catcher in the rye|
|Names:||Salinger, Jerome David, 1919-|
This tells me that the original copyright started June 11, 1951, that it was renewed January 22, 1979, and that the copyright holder at the time of renewal was J. D. Salinger. The original copyright registration "number" was "A-56070". (The current database pads the registration numbers with zeros. Also, the way they assign these numbers has changed over time; for earlier years, text copyright registrations started with A and renewals with R; in later years, such as the ones covered by this database, text copyrights started with TX and renewals with RE. The new renewal record number, without padding, is "RE18341".) The "Basis of Claim" line means that all of the text except for two incidents is covered by this particular copyright. (I don't know what the two incidents in question are; perhaps they were revised, appeared in an earlier story, or are quotes from another work.)
There are some more advanced techniques that can be used to search the database, but I've found that the techniques above are all you usually need to know.
This should give a basic rundown of how to use the Library of Congress copyright database. You may also be interested in the Library of Congress' Web-based card catalog, which can be useful for researching a book's publication history. For more information on searching the Copyright Office's online records, see their tutorial.

several say its a setting but wouldnt say what setting with out a costly charge. I have tried everything from restalling to factory,removing sign on password and even making documents files,music files and photo files shared, and that nothing is copy protected. Ive gone through about 10 differant brands of cd's, and even restored my media license's 100 times. CD ROM WORKS FINE PLAYS FINE AND RUNS FINE BUT WONT WRITE TO CD AS NOT READ ONLY,and diagnotics tests shows no errors or problems
I do photo work for my family of a grandchild terminally ill,and they can not reproduce the cd's as they come off as read only.
Can some one please give me a hint to the problem or help me with the settings.
thank you so much in advance

When I calculate a transaction that is over $1600 in Tennessee the state rate of 7% is shown in the admin console but is missing in the tax details tab of Acumatica.
Acumatica's tax detail tab is currently not showing the tiered tax in Tennessee for the 2.75 extra state tax for transactions over $1600.
It will correctly show in the admin console.
This is an Acumatica issue.

The train was pulling into a station when I awoke the next morning. Through the window I saw a somewhat dramatic building in the distance with the sun rising behind it. I had the momentary thought that I should raise myself out of bed and take a picture or two. Perhaps we were in Winnipeg. But the spirit proved to be weak. I flopped back into bed. When I next opened my eyes, the sun had risen completely, and the train was beginning to move once again.
It was only much later that I realized that I had made a mistake not making the extra effort to wake up at the station to do some exploring. We had indeed stopped at Winnipeg, the half way point of the entire train ride. This was where the train was supposed to stop for almost two hours, and the entire crew for the train changed over for the rest of the journey. The building I had seen earlier was the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. And the train had actually stopped well within the city limits as opposed to the outskirts of the city, as it had done in Edmonton and Saskatoon. And Union Station was actually a National Historic Site. Oh well.
It is worth noting that the train was now over 9 hours late. We should have actually passed through Winnipeg late last night.
We missed breakfast once again. When I went looking for food, I found muffins in the activity/lounge car instead of the the crackers and biscuits of the previous morning.The muffins were too sweet for me. Somehow, I did not think Tom would enjoy them. Based on the success of the previous day’s “breakfast” delivery, I asked the attendant for the car (who had just boarded in Winnipeg) if she had any of yesterday’s items. When I told her that this was for my brother who was experiencing motion sickness, in addition to finding what I was looking for, she added ginger ale to my supplies. She also said that she would also notify our carriage attendant. Sure enough, the attendant appeared at our door some time later to give us another bag full of stuff for Tom to consume, including a second can of ginger ale! The staff on this train were on top of their game!
We crossed over from Manitoba into Ontario shortly after we left Winnipeg. The landscape was beginning to change. There were lakes all around us.Some time after crossing into Ontario, the train drew to a stop at what looked like a little village on a lake. The sign on the building said Malachi. There were actually people waiting to board the train at Malachi. We learned that in some parts of Canada the train was the only lifeline available, and that you could call ahead of time to have it stop to pick you up. (Looking at a schedule, I saw 14 such possible stops between Winnipeg and the next big station, Sioux Lookout.)Tom was actually feeling better that morning, well enough to sit up and take videos.Here is some more of the scenery.But I was once again on my own for lunch since Tom was still not feeling completely up to it. I mentioned Tom’s travel troubles to the maître d’ (who I had met for the first time earlier that morning) in the dining room. She offered her sympathy and from then onward always inquired about Tom whenever I showed up at the dining room on my own. I also happened to mention Tom’s motion sickness to my lunch companions that afternoon, an older retired couple from Vancouver, originally from Scotland. The missus looked very concerned, and immediately began suggesting a bunch of remedies, including some medicine for motion sickness (it was not Dramamine), and things like ginger to chew on, and even ginger ale. She immediately stopped the waitress to ask if they had any of what she was suggesting. Unfortunately, they only had ginger ale.
In addition to the usual talk at the dining table about my physical condition, I had a delightful conversation with the folks from Vancouver about their hometown. I also mentioned that we had visited Scotland, and that moved the conversation in a different direction. When the conversation at some point veered towards politics, the gentleman noted that he was not a great fan of their current Prime Minister (he is not a politician, it seems). But both of them still declined my generous offer to exchange our leader for theirs.
I found myself walking in front of the lady who had been my lunch companion on my way back to our carriage. Seeing the manner in which I was opening the doors between the carriages (using only my good hand!), she, a much older person than myself, stepped in front of me and opened the rest of the doors (she was quite strong!) until we got to her carriage. That was very nice of her.
The hope had been to complete the rest of the rescue plan to get me home that day. If the gentle reader remembers this topic from an earlier blog, there was the last minute realization that Christina could not cross the border and return back to the US because her passport had expired. Somebody else had to be roped into the mission. To add additional uncertainty to the situation, this was the day when our network connectivity began to fall apart. We could not communicate effectively with folks involved in the planning to get messages across because the mobile network became unreliable. But we worked at it, waiting to get to stations where there was a better likelihood of there being a communications tower to establish temporary connectivity. We made progress.
Enter Jesse, Christina’s fiance. He volunteered to postpone a trip he was making to the West Coast to visit his family by a few days so that he could make the drive to Toronto to rescue me. That seemed to be the only realistic option at that point.
In the end Jesse actually came all the way home to Gaithersburg after picking us up from Toronto. He flew to the West Coast a couple of days later than originally planned out of an airport in the Washington DC area. That was very considerate of him. Thanks, Jesse!
We also began to realize that in spite of the massive difference in time between our scheduled arrival time in Toronto in the morning and Tom’s scheduled flight to Dallas from Toronto in the late evening, there was a good chance that he was not going to make the flight. He was already beginning to think about alternatives to get home. He was thinking about riding with us in the car from Toronto, and being dropped off on the way in Buffalo, NY, from where he could catch a flight home. This particular issue would not get resolved until the next day, the last day on the train. The biggest problem was that we did not know when we would get to Toronto.
Dinner that night was with the same couple that we had our first meal on the train with. It was nice evening. Being from Toronto, they even tried to help us by figuring out the fastest way to get from the Toronto train station to the airport if that option was still realistic. The only way that was going to happen was if the train made up some of the time it had lost that night.
We went to bed with things still up in the air.
Here are some random pictures taken from the train that day. The scene below was repeated many times as we stopped to let the freight trains by.Before dinner we decided to take a walk to the dome car at the back of the train. The sun was beginning to set.The people who had bought the most expensive tickets on the train had first dibs at these seats.Feel the motion of the train!More sunset shots.

To give the breath of life by mechanical means is a wonderful advance in health care. By better understanding mechanical ventilators we can use their ability’s more effectively in emergency, acute and long-term settings.
After completing this course, the learner will be able to:
Ventilation by mechanical means is most commonly thought of as being a life supportive device. Ventilators are used by people of all ages, from premature infants to adults, who have any number of health problems that for one reason or another impair their ability to breathe normally. Mechanical ventilation can be used for such purposes as relieving the work involved with breathing in order to decrease myocardial and systemic oxygen consumption for patients who have both respiratory and cardiac failure. A diminished work of breathing also helps to decrease intracranial pressure making mechanical ventilation of great aid when used in persons with brain injuries.
Many people still think of ventilators as something exclusive to hospitals. While it is true that most ventilators are used in hospitals and other health-care settings, an increasing number of them can be found in use in the home setting.
The search for a mechanical aid to ventilation is not a new one. During the mid-1800s devices resembling steam cabinets and phone booths were pressed into use to maintain breathing by rhythmically decreasing the air pressure inside the machine. One well-known device that applied this negative-pressure principle was the iron lung, which was widely used in the United States from the late 1920s into the 1950s, particularly for polio patients. They worked. These original ventilators used the force of negative pressure to remove and replace gas from the ventilator chamber. Rather than connecting to an artificial airway, these ventilators enclosed the torso, or at times the entire body, from the outside. As gas was pulled out of the ventilator chamber, the resulting negative pressure caused the chest wall to expand, which pulled gas into the lungs. The cessation of the negative pressure caused the chest wall to fall and exhalation to occur. While it is an advantage that these ventilators did not require insertion of an artificial airway, they were noisy and made nursing care, difficult. This type of mechanical ventilation support device needs to be large because of the way they function. Negative pressure ventilators greatly restrict patient movement and reduce quality of life. Due to these factors, this type of mechanical ventilator has fallen into disfavor as a routine choice.
Iron Lung in use, a true-life saver during its heyday
(J. D. Johnston and the Brook Hospital Historical Site)
It was in the late 1950s that positive pressure ventilators were introduced. Like their predecessors, these modern ventilators serve to deliver breaths of oxygen-enriched air to the body and remove carbon dioxide. Most ventilators today are computer-controlled, functioning in complex ways to produce positive-pressure ventilation that more closely matches the individual patient’s breathing needs.
Mechanical ventilation is used when a person is unable to breathe adequately on his or her own. The ventilator can either completely take over respiratory function, or it can be used to support the patient’s own respiratory efforts. Respiration is the movement of atmospheric components during gas exchange. The use of a machine to assist with that complex function is an amazing feat. The process of respiration is the act in which the lungs absorb oxygen molecules and distribute them into the blood stream. Then previously gathered carbon dioxide that was created as a result of cellular metabolism is expelled. This gas exchange takes place in the small air sacs of the lungs, known as alveoli. In the course of one day, some 8,000 to 9,000 liters of air are breathed in through the nose or mouth and 8,000 to 10,000 liters of blood are pumped through the lungs by the heart (Kurtzweil, 1999).
During normal breathing, a volume of air is inhaled through the airways (mouth/nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchial tree) into millions of tiny gas exchange sacs (the alveoli) deep within the lungs. Once there it mixes with the carbon dioxide rich gases coming from the blood. It is then exhaled back through the same airways to the atmosphere. Normally we expect this cyclic pattern to repeat at a breathing rate, or frequency, of about 12 breaths a minute (breaths/min) when we are at rest, with a higher resting rate for infants and children. It is normal for the breathing rate to increase with exercise or excitement.
One of the major factors determining whether breathing is producing enough gas exchange to keep a person alive is the ventilation, or active air movement. Ventilation is expressed as the volume of gas entering or leaving, the lungs in a given amount of time.
~ Ventilation can be calculated by multiplying the volume of gas, either inhaled or exhaled during a breath (called the tidal volume), times the breathing rate ~
This means that if we wanted to develop a machine to help a person breathe, it would have to be able to produce a tidal volume and a breathing rate which, when multiplied together, produce enough ventilation. Yet not too much ventilation, to supply the gas exchange needs of the body. During normal breathing the body selects a combination of a tidal volume that is large enough to clear the dead space and add fresh gas to the alveoli, and a breathing rate that assures the correct amount of ventilation is produced.
As it turns out, research has shown that it is possible, using specialized equipment, to keep a person alive with breathing rates that range from zero (steady flow into and out of the lungs) up to frequencies in the 100's of breaths per minute. Over this frequency range, convection and diffusion take part to a greater or lesser extent in distributing the inhaled gas within the lungs. As the frequency rates are increased, the tidal volumes that produce the required ventilation get smaller and smaller.
The goal of ventilation is aiding individuals to regain and/or optimize their own health. It is best to stick with the original design of how our bodily system should function. That limits us to two approaches to mechanical ventilation. Positive pressure ventilators involve the application of positive pressure into the airway opening. Negative pressure ventilators involve the withdrawal of pressure in order to expand the chest cavity and draw in air. The terms positive or negative pressure are in relation to the atmospheric pressure.
Inspiration is the process of moving atmospheric volume into the lungs. It can be triggered in a positive pressure ventilator by either an act of the recipient or by the machine. There are four basic types of positive pressure ventilators in use.
1. Volume cycled
2. Pressure cycled
3. Flow cycled
4. Time cycled
Volume cycled ventilators are designed to deliver a preset tidal volume, and then allow passive expiration. This is ideal for those who tend to have bronchospasm since the same tidal volume is delivered regardless of the amount of airway resistance. This type of ventilator is the most common currently used in a critical care environment.
Pressure cycled ventilators deliver gases at a preset pressure, then allow passive expiration. The benefit of this is a decreased risk of lung damage from high inspiratory pressures. The disadvantage of these ventilators is that the patient may not receive the complete tidal volume particularly if they have poor lung tissue compliance and increased airway resistance. This type of ventilation is usually used for short-term therapy (less than 24 hours). Some ventilators have the capability to provide both volume cycled and pressure-cycled ventilation. These combination ventilators are also commonly used in critical care environments.
Flow cycled ventilators deliver a breath until a preset flow rate is achieved during inspiration. Time cycled ventilators deliver a breath over a preset time period. These types of ventilators are not used as much as the volume cycled and pressure cycled ventilators.
Positive pressure ventilators usually require an artificial airway, such as an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube. The following is a discussion of the types of artificial airways.
Types of Artificial Airways
Combitube – This is often used in field resuscitation. It contains two lumens, one that intubates the esophagus, and one that intubates the trachea. It is easy to insert quickly, and it eliminates the risk of intubating the esophagus rather than the trachea. The manual resuscitation bag is attached to the lumen that inflates the lungs, and the esophageal balloon is inflated to decrease the risk of aspiration. The combitube should only be used for emergency intubation, and should be replaced with an endotracheal tube (ETT) as soon as possible.
Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) – This is used for emergent intubation or in situations where ETT intubation has failed. The LMA looks like an ETT with an inflatable, silicone rubber collar at the bottom end. This collar surrounds and covers the supraglottic area, providing a continuous upper airway.
Endotracheal tube (ETT) – This is the most common artificial airway used for short-term (up to three weeks) airway management or mechanical ventilation. It is a long semi-rigid tube of varying diameters with an inflatable silicone rubber collar at the bottom. When inserted into the trachea it establishes an intact airway. Insertion of an ETT is indicated for airway maintenance, secretion control, oxygenation and ventilation.
Tracheostomy (trach) tube – This is the preferred artificial airway for patients requiring long-term mechanical ventilation (longer than three weeks). It is also indicated for other conditions such as upper airway obstruction or malformation, failed or repeated intubations, complications from endotracheal intubations, glottic incompetence, sleep apnea, or chronic inability to clear secretions. Resistance to airflow is less with a trach tube than an ETT because it is wider, shorter, and less curved. This reduces the work of breathing for the patient, and allows easy removal of secretions.
Tracheostomy for long-term mechanical ventilation
The artificial airway and the use of forceful pressure to move oxygen into a patient’s lungs cause more lung tissue damage then the negative pressure ventilators. The trade off of mobility and flexible make it the ventilator of choice in current practice. More recently, noninvasive positive-pressure ventilators have been developed that allow for gas exchange through a face or nose mask. This less invasive measure to assist oxygen exchange is becoming steadily more popular in those areas where it can serve as an alternative.
As many as 1.5 million Americans use mechanical ventilator support every year. Ventilators help premature babies breathe until their lungs are more fully developed. They help patients recovering from the effects of anesthesia and sedatives given before and during surgery. Patients with heart disease whose failing hearts cause fluid buildup in the lungs, accident victims, and other people with emergency health needs also may need ventilators. The following is a list of general indication for using a mechanical ventilator.
General Indications for Mechanical Ventilation
The following is a list of conditions for which ventilator support might be used.
Some individuals depend on ventilators for a long time, needing their assistance in order to perform all of their breathing. If otherwise healthy and not forced by their condition to be bedridden, these people can use portable ventilators that allow them access to the world and to be free of the confines of a health-care facility or their homes.
The FDA classifies ventilators into three groups: hospital, transport and home-use ventilators. The hospital ventilator units are typically sophisticated devices. Some ventilators have central monitoring capability, which sends patients' respiratory data directly to the nurse's station. These units generally come with a number of built-in alarm systems to alert caregivers to act on impending or immediate life-threatening changes in patients' respiration.
Mechanical ventilators come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors.
Even the control panels differ from digital to
manual knobs and switches. (Marshall, 2001)
Manufacturers are increasing development and production of ventilators for step-down areas of hospitals. While these individuals may still require full or partial ventilatory support, their conditions have otherwise stabilized, making the continuous monitoring of intensive care unnecessary. Some health-care providers are even opening subacute care facilities for long-term patients who no longer need round-the-clock care but still require a high degree of medical support. Ventilators designed for subacute breathing assisted clients offer full ventilation capabilities but do not come with all the specialized features of full-conventional ventilators, for example they might offer fewer alarms and setting variations.
Transport ventilators are designed to withstand the excessive impacts or vibration that can occur in rescue vehicles and the higher levels of electromagnetic interference from electronic sources, such as two-way radios used for communications.
Home-use ventilators operate similarly to those designed for subacute care but are still smaller and lighter. Many types of these units can readily fit on a wheelchair and are battery operated. They also tend to be less expensive, ranging from $5,000 to $12,000 per unit, compared with $15,000 to $35,000 for a hospital unit. (Kurtzweil, 1999)
This growing market force is provoking great changes. Due to the interest from long-term portable ventilator users, manufacturers are continually striving to improve portable units by making them lighter, smaller, and able to operate longer on a single battery than current models. Some of the newer models that are still in the design stage may also offer built-in telemedicine capabilities. These ventilators would gather information on a person’s respiratory function and transport it, over computer or telephone to health-care providers at distant sites. This will allow health care workers to assess and provide care to these patients without actually seeing them in person. It is also anticipated that such capabilities will aid in reducing medical costs.
Patients with sleep apnea may be treated at home with positive airway pressure (PAP) devices. PAP therapy delivers air under pressure to a patient’s airway, with or without supplemental oxygen. A physician orders the specific amount of pressure in centimeters of water (cmH 2 O) based on the results of an individualized assessment of the patient’s needs during an overnight sleep study. There has been a recent increase in the use of PAP therapy in a variety of settings due to a heightened awareness of the syndrome and availability of sleep diagnostic centers that can confirm the diagnosis of sleep apnea.
Basic Systems used in the home includes a flow generator, tubing, headgear, and either a mask or nasal prongs and humidifier. An oxygen concentrator is optional. A flow generator provides some compressed air that is delivered to the patient’s airway. The following is a picture of a facemask airway home ventilator system.
Face Mask airway home ventilator system (MDA, 2003)
The following is a list of the three general types of PAP equipment are used.
Many ventilators are now computerized and have a user-friendly control panel. To activate various modes, settings, and alarms, the appropriate key need only be pressed. There are windows on the face panel that show the current settings and the alarm parameters. Some ventilators have dials instead of computerized keys, for example, the smaller, portable ventilators used for transporting patients.
Usually a Respiratory Therapist will be available to set up a ventilator and attend routine maintaince. As with most computerized equipment, the ventilator will go through a self-test to ensure that it is working properly when turned on. The ventilator tubing that is the component of connection to the user should be changed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and/or the facility’s policy. That timeframe can range form 24 hours to one week. The bacteria filter component should be checked for occlusions or tears and the water/humidity traps and filters checked for condensation or contaminants. If the ventilator has a moisture trap, it should be emptied and cleaned every 24 hours as a part of routine maintenance and as needed.
Sterile suctioning of the patient’s pharynx and trachea to remove excess lung secretions may at times be necessary. The needed suction source, sterile disposable suction catheters and gloves must all be readily on hand for use as needed. Some ventilator tubing has inline suction tubing. It is now considered best practice to suction the airway only when needed. The long-standing practice of routine (every 2 hours) suctioning is no longer recommended, nor is instilling saline down the tracheal tube before suctioning in order to loosen secretions (Tatsoto, 2000).
Ventilator settings are, of course, individualized to each person’s special needs. The unit is designed to actively monitor many components of the user’s respiratory status. Alarms and parameters can be set to warn of changes.
Respiratory Rate – The number of breaths delivered by the machine per minute. Usually from 4 to 20 breaths per minute.
Tidal Volume – The volume of gas delivered during each ventilator breath. Determined by 5 to 15 cc/kg body weight.
Fractional Inspired Oxygen (FIO2) – The amount of oxygen delivered by the machine to the user. 21% to 100%.
Pressure Limit – The amount of force the machine can use to deliver each breath. Typically 10-20 cm H2O above peak inspiratory pressure with a maximum of 35 cm H2O.
Inspiratory/Expiratory Ratio (I:E) – The length of inspiration compared to the length of expiration. Typically 1:2 or 1:1.5
The term Mode designates the manner in which the machine will ventilate its user in relation to each person’s own respiratory efforts. There is no lack of ways to individualize ventilation delivery, as there is a mode for nearly every situation, plus many that can be used in conjunction with each other.
Control Ventilation (CV) - Delivers a preset volume or pressure regardless of the user’s own inspiratory efforts
Assist Control Ventilation (A/CV) - Delivers breath both in response to independent effort as well as if the user fails to do so within a preset amount of time
Synchronous Intermittent Manual Ventilation (SIMV) – Forced ventilator breaths are synchronized with the user’s respiratory effort
Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV) - Preset pressure that augments the user’s own inspiratory effort and decreases the work of breathing
Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) - Positive pressure is applied at the end of expiration
Constant Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) - Similar to PEEP but used only with spontaneously breathing persons
High Frequency Ventilation (HFV) - Delivers small amounts of gas at a rapid rate (60-100 breaths/minute) and requires sedation/paralysis to use
Inverse Ratio Ventilation (IRV) – The I:E ratio is reversed in order to allow longer inspiration time. This requires sedation/ paralysis to use.
Mechanical ventilation has its problems. The risk of infection, particularly in a health-care setting, is high for ventilator-assisted patients. In fact, the primary cause of hospital-acquired pneumonia has been found to be mechanical ventilation. This adds up. The average cost of a ventilator-associated pneumonia is about $29,369 per patient (Byers, 2000). Disconnected tubing, tubing with too much humidity causing fluid to partially block airflow, and the build-up of the user’s own secretions are all potential dangers when using a mechanical ventilator.
Ventilators are electrical equipment and must be plugged in. Most have battery back up, but this is not designed for long-term use. Ventilators should always be plugged into an outlet that will receive generator power if there is an electrical outage. Ventilators are a method of life-support. If the ventilator stops working, that person’s life may be in jeopardy. Whenever a ventilator is in use, manual intermittent forced air capability should be right there. An ambu bag, anesthesia bag, manual resuscitation bag, or some other form of rubberized manual bag and valve device achieves this function. Home care ventilators should have a manual bag and valve set that the user themselves can utilize, if that person has the ability. This type of bag acts as a collapsible reservoir unit for oxygen or atmospheric gas, and when attached to the lumen of the artificial airway can be squeezed and released to imitate the pressure of respiratory movements.
Less serious is a problem with skin irritation from the masks of the noninvasive ventilators. This problem can interfere with patients' willingness to use the ventilators, thus preventing patients from getting the level of care they need.
Mechanical ventilation is a great stride forward in the management of disease states. By allowing the body to rest, to better focus its energy on healing, many lives have been saved over the past decades. These devices are able to meet that need, and the technology is progressively advancing to better handle the quality of life issues that go with requiring ventilator assistance. By coming to understand this valuable tool, healthcare providers can be more aware of the options that are present for the people they care for.

During the recent earnings conference call, Patrick Doyle, CEO of Domino's Pizza (NYSE:DPZ), stated, "It was just another boring great quarter here at Domino's." He was referring to the company's "consistent strong results" seemingly every quarter which can look somewhat boring if you are looking for unpredictable volatility. Instead, Domino's Pizza continues to steadily build a solid business.
The mouth-watering results
Domino's Pizza reported fiscal second quarter results on July 22. Total revenue leaped 8.9% to $451 million. System-wide same-store domestic sales jumped 5.4% on top of the 6.7% it did in the year-ago quarter. International did even better with 7.7% growth on top of 5.8% last year.
If you do the math, that's a two-year growth rate of same-store sales of 12.5% domestically and 13.9% internationally. Meanwhile, earnings per share tacked on 17.5% to $0.67 per diluted share.
It was the 82nd quarter in a row, or more than two decades, of positive same-store sales internationally. In the earnings press release, Doyle stated,
"The first half of 2014 has proven to be yet another positive story for our global brand and hardworking franchisees. We are performing well in the U.S. and international markets by driving sales and building stores around the world. We also opened our 11,000th store this quarter, an important milestone for a growing brand."
Domino's is growing "weather" or not you like it
During the Q&A of the conference call, an analyst pointed out there was no weather benefit in the second quarter yet the growth percentage was even stronger than during the first quarter. While many restaurant chains suffered during the calendar first quarter due to the terrible winter storms, Domino's Pizza actually saw a benefit from increased delivery orders.
For the first quarter, the company then estimated same-store sales domestically grew between 1% and 1.5% as many snowed-in customers who couldn't make it to restaurants turned to delivery instead. The first quarter saw total domestic same-store sales rise 4.9% and international rise 7.4%, both figures behind the growth rate of this more recent second quarter.
Doyle calmly explained, "We've got the brand right, the food right, the digital side of this right and that's really the momentum growth." He made it clear that it wasn't any particular new menu item that drove it such as the new specialty chicken launch. It is just old-fashioned great execution.
"But honestly, I think it is really about the continued momentum we've got in the brand giving customers an experience that's relevant to them today and that's really been the continuation of the strength that you saw both domestically and internationally."
Branding the brand even stronger
Despite the robust results, Domino's Pizza isn't done working on its brand. The company is undergoing a reimage campaign that includes remodeling the stores. Obviously this doesn't have much of a direct impact on delivery, but branding is all about a lasting impression. As an example, a new customer in for carryout who leaves with positive feeling may be more likely to then order delivery in the future.
According to the conference call, Domino's Pizza notices a modest increase in same-store sales after the remodel that gets more pronounced over time as delivery customers do a once-in-a-while carryout and take notice. Currently 10% of U.S. stores and 20% of international have completed their remodels. It is expected to be "substantially all of them" by the end of 2017.
When boring means predictable, sustainable, and yet growing by a good clip, boring is this Fool's friend. Domino's Pizza trades at a P/E of 26 based on the current share price and analyst estimates for fiscal year 2014 of $2.87 per share. This estimate represents 17% growth over last year and 16% growth for next year based on the estimate of $3.34 per share. With the P/E less than double the growth rate, assuming the growth rate boringly continues for the long term, Domino's Pizza deserves a closer look.

Amnesty International is calling out the Australian government on abuse of asylum seekers in the detention centre on Nauru.
More than 2000 documents have been leaked by The Guardian which detail frightful conditions on the Pacific Island.
Executive director of Amnesty International New Zealand Grant Bayldon says in situations like Nauru, there's a high risk of abuse.
"The Australian government has deliberately set up their operation in Nauru under a cloud of secrecy. They've prevented people from talking about what's going on, they've prevented people from getting into Nauru to lift the lid."
Mr Bayldon says the New Zealand Government has a responsibility to speak out about the reported abuse.
"What we are seeing is one of the most sustained assaults on human rights of any western democratic country.
"As New Zealand is the closest country to it, the New Zealand Government should all the more so call out Australia on its treatment."
He says one way it could do that is to repeat the offer to resettle people from the detention centre in Nauru.
"When New Zealand reviewed its own refugee quota, one of the excuses it gave for not doubling it here was to leave spaces for if there is an emergency.
"This is an emergency situation and the New Zealand Government needs to speak out strongly."
Mr Bayldon adds the Government speaks out about human rights abuse in other countries - so Australia shouldn't be treated any differently.
He also notes the island is an emergency state, something else that needs to be addressed as fast as possible.
Earlier this month, Amnesty International and Humans Right's Watch representatives travelled to the island nation where they claim attacks are happening daily.
They interviewed 84 refugees and asylum seekers from Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Bangladesh, Kuwait, and Afghanistan over 12 days.
The human rights groups said refugees and asylum seekers, most of whom have been held there for three years, are routinely neglected by health workers and other service providers, as well as being assaulted by local Nauruans.
Nauru is home to around 1200 men, women, and children who sought refuge in Australia and were transferred to the remote Pacific island nation of Nauru. | <urn:uuid:a1a39da1-d97b-40d3-981c-c6c525fd24ac> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2016/08/govt-should-do-more-for-nauru-asylum-seekers---amnesty-nz.html | 2018-05-26T08:28:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867374.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526073410-20180526093410-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.965929 | 448 | [

Joel lives in a nursing home and he’s not one bit happy about it. He doesn’t like being told when to eat, when to sleep, when to take his pills. In fact, he doesn’t like living at all, and he’s decided he’s going to end his life on his terms.
When he tells retired soap-actor Frank about his dark plan, Frank urges him to go out with a bang. Together, they embark on a mission to find the perfect suicide, and along the way, discover the strength of friendship when you really feel alone.
Dan Mooney’s first novel Me, Myself and Them won the Luke Bitmead Bursary and his work has attracted praise from all quarters, including Rick O’Shea and Annie West.
“If you’re going to end it, you better make it big. No slipping off bridges, it’s undignified for men of our vintage. Go big or don’t bother.”
Dan Mooney is a writer, air traffic controller and amateur filmmaker, with one of his short films broadcast on national TV. Dan is also a fan of amateur dramatics, rugby and is a friend to many cats. He wrote his first piece of fiction for a child-operated local newspaper at age ten and has been writing ever since.
Dan Mooney’s latest novel, A Rock And A High Place will be published by Legend Press in April 2018. | <urn:uuid:339b3298-eb6c-4218-8d12-ce7d650727ec> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://ramingoblog.com/2017/11/27/a-rock-and-a-high-place-cover-reveal-for-dan-mooneys-next-novel/ | 2018-05-26T08:23:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867374.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526073410-20180526093410-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.974568 | 314 | [

What is the title of your newest book? How many books have you published?
Ginger Snapped, released in December 2017, is the fifth book of my Spice Shop Mystery series. I also wrote a 3-book cozy series called the Bunco Babe Mysteries which have been republished by Beyond the Page as the Kate McCall Mysteries and are available in e-book format. Before writing cozy mysteries, however, I was a romance writer and had nine historical romances published under the pseudonym of Elizabeth Turner.
How did you become interested in writing?
Long before I even thought of writing a book, I was an avid reader. I confess that I think of myself more as a storyteller than a writer. Writing is simply a means to get the story inside my head down on paper.
I generally start my writing day mid-morning by packing a lunch and heading downstairs to my office. I know if I’d come upstairs to eat I’d end up throwing in a load of wash, starting dinner, or any number of non-writing related tasks. When I have a deadline staring me in the face, I work until at least five o’clock. I don’t give myself a daily word count, but I do keep to a schedule and know exactly how far along I need to be chapter-wise to complete my work-in-progress on time.
Do you plot the entire book first, then write or plot as you go?
I’ve done it both ways but found it’s less stressful if I have a longish synopsis to work from. I compare it to using a road map in planning a lengthy trip. GPS is great but I need a broader overview.
Do you use real people and places as models for your books?
Some characters are entirely imaginary; others are a composite of people I’ve seen or met that fulfill my mental vision for that character. That said, I did use a good friend once who won a bid at a silent auction to become a character in a Spice Shop Mystery. She appeared in one book, then I killed her off in the next one. We’re still friends.
Who is your favorite author?
Good question. I really don’t have a ‘favorite’ author but have favorite books. Even when reading books by the same author, I find certain ones resonate with me more than others.
How do you promote your books?
I’m not as media savvy as many authors and need to improve on that score. I’ve done various presentations and panels, but I’m too much of an introvert to enjoy this. Public speaking is just not my thing. What I do, however, is participate in a virtual blog tour and blogs such as yours. I believe this helps get the word out and targets the readers most likely to enjoy my books. I really do appreciate all bloggers, such as yourself, do on an author’s behalf.

CC Saudi Baja receives financial boost from HRH Sultan Bin Fahd
SAUDI ARABIA HAIL BAJA (Hail Rally 2008…The Great Nufud Challenge), February 11th-14th, 2008
2008 FIA International Cup for Cross-Country Bajas, round 1 of 6
For immediate release
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008
SAUDI HAIL BAJA RECEIVES FINANCIAL
BOOST FROM HRH SULTAN BIN FAHD
Czech, Hungarian, Russian and Dutch teams enter Saudi Arabian event
Defending Hail Baja champion Rajeh Al-Shammeri set to return in 2008
RIYADH (Saudi Arabia): Officials organising the Saudi Arabia Hail Baja, round one of this year’s FIA International Cup for Cross-Country Bajas, have received a welcome financial bonus from His Royal Highness Sultan Bin Fahd, President of Youth Welfare, who has agreed to boost the event’s budget to cover increased costs now that the event has become a round of the prestigious FIA series for the first time.
The all-desert Baja takes place on February 11th-14th in the north-central region of the Kingdom under the patronage of HRH Prince Saud Bin Abdul Mohsen Bin Abdul Aziz, Governor of Hail, President of the Supreme Commission for Hail Development and the Head of the Supreme Commission of the Hail Rally.
Four of the most competitive Baja drivers in the world have entered the event and Saudi officials are waiting for confirmation that two factory teams will also be taking part in next month’s Baja. Dutchman Toni van Deijne looks set to enter for the first time at the wheel of his Mitsubishi L200 with co-driver Wouter Rosegaar and Boris Gadasin is confirmed on the list in an Overdrive Racing Nissan Pick-Up with co-driver Alexander Mironenko.
Hungarian Laszlo Palik wheels out his Palik Racing Team Nissan Pick-Up with co-driver Gabor Darazsi and the Czech driver Miroslav Zaplatel – winner of last year’s Baja GB – will make the journey to Saudi Arabia with co-driver Miloslav Janacek in a Mitsubishi to join a plethora of crews from the host country and other parts of the GCC.
Saudi Arabian driver Rajeh Al-Shammeri will defend the Hail Baja title he won in February 2007, after joining the Middle East Racing Team that was founded by His Royal Highness Mohammed bin Bander bin Abdul Aziz.
Al-Shammeri is looking forward to competing against the international field in Hail next month and also to tackling all six rounds of this year’s FIA Baja Championship. The other five Bajas will take place in Italy, Spain, Hungary, Wales and Portugal later this year and Al-Shammeri will be the first Saudi driver to tackle a full programme of FIA off-road events.
Officials at the Saudi Motor Sports Committee are working against the clock to ensure that nothing is left to chance for the start of the biggest motorsport event ever to take place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Prince Abdullah bin Khalid, the Chairman of the Executive Committee responsible for supervising and coordinating government agencies supporting the rally, visited the event’s headquarters in Hail last week and met with representatives from various government agencies.
“This was an ideal opportunity for Prince Abdullah to oversee the progress that has been made so far and to ensure the smooth running of the rally and the full support for the organising committee,” said Mishaal Al-Sudairy, chairman of the organising committee.
Scrutineering and documentation will take place on Monday, February 11th and this will be followed by the ceremonial start at the Prince Sultan Center in Hail on Tuesday, February 12th at 2pm. Competitors will then head straight into a timed super special stage at 15.30hrs.
The first desert leg will take place between 07.00hrs and 15.00hrs on Wednesday, February 13th, while the second and final leg of the 2008 Hail Baja will start at 09.00hrs on Thursday, February 14th and reach a conclusion at 15.30hrs. The ceremonial finish will take place at Maghwat from 6pm.
More information about the event is available from the Saudi Motor Sport Committee, PO Box 87881, Riyadh 11652, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Tel: + 9661 477 1034, Fax: + 9661 477 1050 and from Rami Atwa, E-mail: [email protected], www.saudimotorsport.com

Google and Facebook will take more than 70% of all money spent on display advertising online in the UK by 2020, according to a report suggesting the firms will soon have an effective duopoly spanning the Atlantic.
The two companies already account for about three-quarters of the £18.4bn display ad market in the US, and 53% of the £4bn currently spent in the UK.
That growing dominance has put pressure on publishers such as newspapers, most of which have found it difficult to make money from large online audiences as print sales and advertising have fallen rapidly. Google also dominates search advertising, which has largely replaced the classified ads which previously generated significant revenue for newspapers.
According to the report by OC&C Strategy Consultants, Facebook and Google will grow a combined 24% each year to 2020, taking a 71% share of the total ad market worth £4.1bn, more than the total value of display advertising in the UK today.
OC&C partner Fergus Jarvis said publishers had been worried about the impact of Facebook and Google for some time, but the scale of the threat was “quite concerning”. He said: “The scale and speed is really a call to action for media companies. By the time [Facebook and Google] get to 70% of the online ad market, that doesn’t leave a lot of space left elsewhere.”
The ability of Facebook and Google to hoover up money spent on ads is primarily due to people spending more time on smartphones. In the US the two firms have taken 85% of all new digital ad spending, the bulk of which is on mobile devices. “A lot of usage is going in that direction,” said Jarvis. “We are now at a pivot point where the average UK adult is spending more time looking at mobile content than TV. We assume that that trend will continue.”
Though the forecast suggests the two firms will dominate the future of display advertising based on current trends, there has been some pushback from advertisers concerned about their power. In particular, Facebook’s recent string of admissions that it had been providing inaccurate measurements for many of its ads, in some cases over estimating how much they were viewed by as much as 80%, has led to calls for greater transparency.
At the time, Sir Martin Sorrell, head of the world’s largest advertising group, WPP, said it was a “clear example that referee and player can’t be the same person and that marking your own homework doesn’t work”.
However, Jarvis later said Facebook was tackling the problem effectively. He said: “There’s quite a lot of sniping around that particular Facebook story. It’s not simple how you measure impact. Facebook are responding to some of the concerns. It’s a foolish man who bets against Facebook being able to handle those complaints.” | <urn:uuid:36676e92-b3db-4a38-a8fa-77800d3c85a9> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/dec/15/google-facebook-uk-online-ad-revenue | 2019-05-19T09:37:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232254731.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190519081519-20190519103519-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.976202 | 602 | [

Row machines aren’t as common in gyms as a treadmill or weight bench, but they should be. You may find one or two models, but they’re usually air resistant or piston operated models, which don’t really offer the best workout. But thanks to many celebrities sharing their love for rowing machines on social media – rowing machines are getting very popular. Realistically, rowing can actually increase endurance, build muscle, strengthen the core and burn fat, making it one of the best total body workouts around. So we decided to present you with our Best Water Rowing Machine Reviews. This type of exercise can put even cycling and running to shame because it burns about fifteen to twenty percent more calories than both workouts at the same level of exertion. Rowing is also considered an excellent core workout because the abs are engaged during each stroke. While it can definitely offer an effective fat burning workout, it’s also an ideal machine to use for people who are rehabbing muscles, the elderly or people with disabilities. With all of the benefits, you may be wondering why this type of workout is so unpopular. The main reason is that most people don’t know how to properly use a rowing machine and improper use can lead to poor results.
Founded in 1818, Leander Club is the world's oldest public rowing club. The second oldest club which still exists is the Der Hamburger und Germania Ruder Club which was founded 1836 and marked the beginning of rowing as an organized sport in Germany. During the 19th century, as in England, wager matches in North America between professionals became very popular attracting vast crowds. Narragansett Boat Club was founded in 1838 exclusively for rowing. During an 1837 parade in Providence, R.I, a group of boatmen were pulling a longboat on wheels, which carried the oldest living survivor of the 1772 Gaspee Raid. They boasted to the crowd that they were the fastest rowing crew on the Bay. A group of Providence locals took issue with this and challenged them to race, which the Providence group summarily won. The six-man core of that group went on the following year to found NBC in 1838. Detroit Boat Club was founded in 1839 and is the second oldest continuously-operated rowing club in the U.S. In 1843, the first American college rowing club was formed at Yale University. The Harvard–Yale Regatta is the oldest intercollegiate sporting event in the United States,http://rowinghistory.net/Time%20Line/TL%20-1849images.htm having been contested every year since 1852 (excepting interruptions for wars).
Unfortunately, the direction of water movement at the top and bottom of the wave (thick arrows) rotate the boat in the direction you don’t want to go. As you realize this you try to pull your down-hill oar up out of the water, but this just pulls you over more in the bad direction. I spare you, gentle reader, a picture of the result. As the wave carries your boat up to a crest you try to lean into it to keep the boat level, but it’s natural to also push down on the down-hill oar to help.
Rowing is a highly aerobic activity which burns calories quickly and gives you a complete cardiocascular workout which is a great way to help your heart as well as tone your arms, legs, chest, back, and abs. What most people don't realize is that Rowing improves joint health through a wide range of motion and relieves stress because it allows you to remove yourself from the world around you, to connect to the calm and quiet of the water, and to meditate through the rhythmic, repetitive motion of your stroke. Rowing is a great way to get Aerobic and Anaerobic benefits without even thinking about it. Rowing also provides a workout for a variety of different muscles and joints in your body. If you want to see improvements in both your cardio fitness levels and your overall strength, it can give you the desired results you're looking for.
Most races that are held in the spring and summer feature side by side racing, or sprint racing, sometimes called a regatta; all the boats start at the same time from a stationary position and the winner is the boat that crosses the finish line first. The number of boats in a race typically varies between two (which is sometimes referred to as a dual race) to eight, but any number of boats can start together if the course is wide enough.
Floating Heel-Rest Design: The Rowing Machine's footboard incorporates the all-new Floating Heel-Rest design. The cup of the heel-rest follows the heel as it rises from the footboard providing stability and comfort from the beginning to end of each stroke. The heel-rest position is adjusted simply by pressing the central button to disengage the lock pins securing the footpads.

At the catch the rower places the blade in the water and applies pressure to the oar by pushing the seat toward the bow of the boat by extending the legs, thus pushing the boat through the water. The point of placement of the blade in the water is a relatively fixed point about which the oar serves as a lever to propel the boat. As the rower's legs approach full extension, the rower pivots the torso toward the bow of the boat and then finally pulls the arms towards his or her chest. The hands meet the chest right above the diaphragm.

Boxee announced today that it has released its long-awaited iPad app.
The app comes with the Boxee Media Manager, which allows it to stream videos from your PC to the iPad, as well as a “Watch Later” bookmarklet and firmware for the Boxee Box.
“We built the app to be useful for any iPad user, even those who have never heard of Boxee before, but it has the added benefit for current Boxee Box users that you can send video to your flat screen throught it (we’ll include this for Mac/PC users in the fall update),” says Boxee’s Avner Ronen on the Boxee blog .
The app automatically delivers videos shared by the user’s Facebook, Twitter, and Tumbler friends.
On the “Watch Later” feature, Ronen says, ” Each day, we’re bombarded by video from everywhere. Use the freshly re-designed bookmarklet to, umm… bookmark videos from the Internet and have them waiting for you on your iPad (and anywhere else you’ve got Boxee). Now you’ve got one place to queue YouTube videos, TED talks, FunnyOrDie videos, a TV Show you missed, or anything else you don’t have time to watch right away. It’s an easy way to create a video playlist for the commute, the bed, the couch or the bathroom (this is mainly for Idan, whose iPad we don’t touch).”
There is also a “Featured” feature, which highlights hand-picked content chosen by Boxee’s editorial staff. The screenshot above shows a “Junip” video, so they must have some good taste.
The app also lets you send videos to your TV if you have a Boxee Box. In addition to that, they’ve added an experimental feature taking advantage of AirPlay. You can hit the AirPlay button and see your Boxee Box as one of the target devices.
The app is available in the App Store. | <urn:uuid:36c86107-64a9-4194-95a5-bed12deb7482> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.webpronews.com/boxee-for-ipad/ | 2019-05-21T17:47:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256494.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20190521162634-20190521184634-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.922014 | 439 | [

Mike & Vickie, Guest Bloggers
We are thrilled to introduce two very special guest bloggers, Mike & Vickie, otherwise known as "Mom and Dad" and more recently, "Grammie & Papa"! They just got back from a two week trip to one of our favorite destinations - Bali! For those seeking luxurious getaways - don't miss this review of the Oberoi in Seminyak!!! ~ Eva & Chris
This was our first trip to Bali, and in fact, our first trip to Asia. We had talked about making the trip to Bali for years to visit our friends Paul and Nyoman, whom you may have read about on Chris and Eva's previous Bali posts, and we finally pulled the trigger this year! Before meeting up with said friends, we spent a few wonderful nights at the Oberoi Hotel in Seminyak to work off the jet lag and enjoy the beautiful Balinese beaches. Below is our review of the experience.
The Lap of Luxury
Amazingly, while enjoying the Oberoi, one would never imagine that immediately outside of its gates (and noticeable security), there is the hustle and bustle of a very busy and congested Seminyak.
We spent our days here alongside of the wonderfully appealing pool where we were promptly greeted by a staff member who efficiently made up our chaise lounges with clean towels and who, moments later returned with a tray containing two bottles of water, two warm towels, sunscreen and water misting spray. There was also a small flag that could be placed upright should we need or desire anything at any time. Truly, the "lap of luxury"! No need to be concerned about leaving the area for hours and returning; lounges were ours for as long as we wanted them.
Each afternoon complimentary sorbets are offered to poolside guests by staff who circulate among the lounges. In addition, at 4 PM, complimentary tea and pastries are offered at the amphitheater adjacent to the pool.
While relaxing on our lounges, we found that there were always staff around which, while never, in any way obtrusive, were there should we want to order a snack or lunch. With over 300 staff and only 74 guest rooms, the staff to guest ratio certainly lends itself to efficient attentiveness.
Here are a couple of shots from our daily breakfast table:
Preserving the Natural Beauty of Bali
Oberoi's Culinary Delights
The Oberoi offers two al fresco dining options; a fine dining restaurant requiring reservations and appropriate attire (no shorts or flip flops if you please) and a bar area offering an abundant assortment of appetizers and lighter dishes.
Food prices at the Oberoi, while certainly higher than what can be found outside of its gates in Seminyak, were, in our opinion, reasonable given the locale. | <urn:uuid:4e10c388-6eb9-4b27-b97a-0880a678bc96> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://www.beyondvoyage.com/blog/category/bali | 2019-05-24T04:01:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257497.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20190524024253-20190524050253-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.967425 | 589 | [

Since this kennel is even lazier than our resident Zacatecan and our other assorted south-of-the-border riffraff, we will have a belated Cinco de Drinko hash on Monday, May 7, to be hared by possibly our biggest WASP – that would be F.A.G. The trail will start from the SW side of the Derrel’s mini-storage facility at China Grade Loop and Alfred Harrell Highway. Map to the start location at this link: https://goo.gl/maps/1mre7eb4kPv
Meeting time is 6:30 p.m. Since this is inspired by Cinco de Mayo festivities, shockingly offensive displays of cultural appropriation are highly encouraged. Bring $5 for cold beer and worthless snacks. There might even be some Mexican beer available. | <urn:uuid:f99ecb14-d79c-4029-b969-48cb964e96c2> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://bhhh.org/2018/05/06/cinco-de-drinko-hash-may-7/ | 2019-05-24T04:23:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257497.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20190524024253-20190524050253-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.941875 | 177 | [

Love is always inside the air for genuine enthusiasts. Love does not just lift oneis temper but the heart too. Someone who has been in a romantic relationship at least one time within their life can agree with me easily state love is simply divine. One method to appreciate romance would be to read romance novels. Such books, when distributed by fans bring them deeper and provide a brand new viewpoint with their relationship.
There are lots of possibilities for relationship addicts depending upon their choice. They could choose love novels based on traditional times with kings and queens, novels according to battles or modern novels that may consider supernatural topics as their primary characters. This means there are novels for everybody.
Romance books, by classification, are likely to core around a romantic relationship between two critical figures and may possess a good ending. Nevertheless, to make the piece exciting, the books often have non-romantic sub plots which can be related to the relationship somehow.

Still others give attention to the spiritual or divine relationship and talk about soulmates and unconditional love.
But how will you select a novel that’s exactly what you are seeking when you can find thousands of romance books accessible is a major problem. To handle the problem, you can do a bit of research.

A good emotion lets you be described as a part of the novel and get immersed in-it wholeheartedly. A pessimistic brain might just make you feel that the relationship is nothing but a tale. Thus, a happy center and perception in love and relationship can be a precondition to experiencing romance novels.
There is anything strong and romantic about Europe traditional romance novels that captures your minds. The slow however passionate story of how two people blossom in to a deep supportive link within the older nights goes traveling back in time.
In the old European culture, men are robust, brave, defensive, and carry you like a princess off your feet. It is possible to enjoy touring back over time and imagining oneself like a girl heroine while in the love narrative – when you figure out how to trust and start for your male.

Hello there loyal readers! We've hooked up with CSN Stores to bring you a chance at free stuff. We've also been informed about the great sites that CSN Stores has. They have a large selection. From console tables to baking tools. We were happy to find that they have very competitive prices and the next time we're in the market for a new baking dish or tool, we're going there first!
So what do we have for you? How about a set of tools that have made our lives so much easier when it comes to portioning out cookie dough and cupcake batter? It's a small and medium size OXO Cookie scoop. When it comes to having equally sized cookies there's no greater tool. We've also learned that these can be used for portioning out cupcake batter as well. It really does make life easier. And OXO really is a quality brand. This is a great way to close out National Cookie Month.
So, go ahead and leave a comment and tell us what your favorite cookie is. We'll use a random # generator to decide the winner. For the record, we're partial to chocolate chip or peanut butter. Good luck!
Update: Sorry, forgot to add a few details. We're a little sleep deprived.
This is open to US and Canadian readers only. Also the cut off is Wednesday, the 3rd at midnight. | <urn:uuid:b6787e1e-ef57-4814-ab11-2ac93fd37d41> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://blog.bakeodyssey.com/2010/10/baking-tool-giveaway.html | 2019-05-25T07:00:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257920.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20190525064654-20190525090654-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.969826 | 286 | [

I’m against anything premature – premature ejaculation, premature babies but most especially, premature Christmas. What used to be cute and such a great way to instill good behavior is now a huge annoyance and truth be told, is also the same reason why we, as Pinoys, have lost Christmas.
We’ve lost Christmas. From the time that September 1st rolls in, the malls are playing carols and holiday songs. The decors are out, the lights are blinking and the large signs that subtly convince you to start shopping for gifts for people you don’t really give half a shit about. The hilarious part is that in between September and actual fucking Christmas, the decors change abruptly to Halloween or Undas.
Bes… Nabastos naman ata ang Halloween at ang Undas. Siningit mo lang sila in between the very lengthy Christmas holiday. Halloween and All Saint’s Day have now become the supporting characters actors. At dahil dyan, I would like to share with you some really cool and interesting Halloween related shit that is also part Botany.
Happy Halloween, you fabulous freaks. Go out and do something naughty. | <urn:uuid:9f5d6dfe-cc66-4776-968a-1fc004a916b7> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://iangalliguez.com/we-lost-christmas/ | 2019-05-25T07:17:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257920.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20190525064654-20190525090654-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.947644 | 245 | [

50 reasons to boycott the Catholic Church
Posted on November 29, 2012
Two years ago (I can’t believe it’s been that long!), I argued that honest and decent human beings have a moral responsibility to openly oppose Pope Benedict XVI.
Adam Lee has now taken my argument one step further, outlining 50 reasons why people should boycott not just Pope Benedict XVI, but the entire Catholic Church.
… whatever individual Catholics may do, the resources of the church as an institution are bent toward opposing social progress and positive change all over the world. Every dollar you put into the church collection plate, every Sunday service you attend, every hour of time and effort you put into volunteering or working for church organizations, is inevitably a show of support for the institutional church and its abhorrent mission. When you have no voice, there’s only one thing left to do: boycott. Stop supporting the church with your money and your time. For lifelong Catholics, it’s a drastic step, but it’s more than justified by the wealth of reasons showing that the church as an institution is beyond reform, and the only meaningful response is to part ways with it.
Take a look at Lee’s 50 reasons here. | <urn:uuid:a67c80b3-a0ff-4a79-851b-f5f90b244693> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://themoralperspective.com/2012/11/29/50-reasons-to-boycott-the-catholic-church/ | 2019-05-26T13:55:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232259177.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190526125236-20190526151236-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.94857 | 252 | [

Price lines up first British boxing medal after reaching semi-final in Beijing
David Price guaranteed Great Britain's first boxing medal of the Beijing
Olympics when he forced Lithuanian opponent Jaroslav Jaksto to retire at the end
of the first round at the Workers' Gymnasium.
The Liverpool super-heavyweight clattered Jaksto with a trio of right hands
which gave him a 3-1 lead and jolted his opponent who suffered a leg injury and
withdrew at the end of the round.
Price said: 'It was a bit of an anti-climax the way it happened but I'm not
going to complain. I think I sickened him a few times anyway. I felt a lot of
pressure because I knew how important this win was.
'I'm feeling so much better but there's more to come. I'm over the moon that
I've got into the medals not only for me but for the team. They've worked so
hard and lots of people have been setting us up for a fall.'
Price's reward will be a semi-final clash with the reigning world champion
Roberto Cammarelle on Friday but on this evidence the big Italian will hold no
fears for the hard-hitting 25-year-old.

Dollars and Sense
In a recent article for Barron's online, author John Steele Bordon wrote about the impact on digital readers and journalism in an article titled "Journalism's Next Revolution."
In the article he states the following: "The iPad signals the long-awaited end of the era of cutting down trees, turning them into paper, printing words on it, distributing it across a vast country and then recycling it or throwing it into landfills the next day." Although a significant amount of the article uses the iPad as an example, the focus of the article is the impact of the digital printing revolution on the newspaper.
The nook also offers subscriptions to twenty newspapers and about a dozen magazines. The newspaper selection was much richer than the magazine list. The point here is that the nook along with other digital readers is embracing the capability of portable, ecological reading of news.
I've discussed this movement to digital publishing in two previous articles (see the label "independent publishing" in the left sidebar for more):
- Movers and Shakers in the Digital Self-publishing World: an excellent article from the Wall Street Journal
- Self-publishing: trends for authors, agents, online sites, and traditional publishers (Edgar Wideman, QueryTracker, authonomy, and Lulu and Amazon)
Let's take a book like Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code.
- Price from the public library = free (especially if you ride your bike there)
- Price from Abe Books (used), hardback and shipping = 1.00 + 2.77 = 3.77
- New paperback at Amazon = 9.99 (new hardback prices = Abe's)
- Barnes and Noble: PB = 8.99; HB = 194.40 (no used books)
- Barnes and Noble ebook = 6.49 (same $ Kindle ebook at Amazon)
For me, the real savings, both environmental and personal, come from acquiring free classics in ebook format:
- ManyBooks.net: "There are 27,877 eBooks available here and they're all free!"
- Free ebooks by Project Gutenberg: "Project Gutenberg is the place where you can download over 33,000 free ebooks to read on your PC, iPad, Kindle, Sony Reader, iPhone, Android or other portable device."
- I'm sure there are many other sources of free or inexpensive books. As an example, Smashwords has about two thousand free books. I've just downloaded one to the nook directly, without having to convert it (using the ePub format.)
I think of all the trees, gasoline, and shelf space that I am saving by having access to a digital reader, and I am happy that I am learning about the printing press of the future.
Feel free to post comments or ask questions. I'm sure I'm not the only person in the world scratching my head or having an "ah ha!" moment regarding digital publishing.

In 1776, the expedition of Father Garces camped at a desert oasis that we now call Beale Springs. Following in his sandal prints over the course of the next century were a legion of surveyors, soldiers, fortune seekers, and pioneers.
One of these was the namesake for the spring, Lt. Edward Beale, a legendary adventurer and explorer of the mid 19th century that had accepted a presidential commission to survey a road from Ft Smith, Arkansas to the Colorado River in 1857. As if the survey and construction of a road across miles of desert wilderness wasn’t daunting enough, Beale was also tasked with testing the viability of camels for use as military supply transport in the desert southwest. As an historic footnote, the Secretary of War who initiated the experiment with camels was Jefferson Davis, the future president of the Confederate States of America.
Travelers on the Beale Wagon Road, and the Mohave-Prescott Toll Road that connected Hardyville on the Colorado River with Prescott often camped at the springs on their journeys. The springs as well as those in Johnson Canyon and Railroad Canyon were a primary reason that a construction camp was established at the site of present day Kingman while the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad continued laying rails westward toward California.
Shortly after the dawn of the 20th century, Good Roads associations formed throughout the country to petition state, county, and local governments for funds and assistance in creating highways suitable for automobiles.
Tom Devine, proprietor of the Hotel Beale and father of character actor Andy Devine, was a member of the local Good Roads Association in Kingman. Recognizing the prestige and economic impact of having a major highway pass through Kingman, Devine and fellow association members in Kingman and in Needles crafted a powerful presentation that showed the merits of having the National Old Trails Highway routed across northern Arizona, and along the railroad that had followed the Beale Wagon Road. They presented this at the 1913 National Old Trails Highway convention in Kansas City, Missouri.
Their sound arguments swayed committee members and the National Old Trails Highway that had coursed from Springerville to Yuma and the Ocean-to-Ocean Highway, was rerouted across northern Arizona, through Kingman, and into California. US 66 would follow much of this route upon certification in 1926.
There is a common theme to this history, Kingman was a stop on the way to someplace. It even became famous as a stop on the way to someplace when the song about getting your kicks on Route 66 sung by velvet voiced crooner Nat King Cole rocketed to the top of the music charts in 1946.
Obviously a few people did more than pass through town. In A Guide Book to Highway 66 written by Jack Rittenhouse in 1946, it was noted that Kingman had a population of 2,200 people and offered an array of lodging options including the “… hotels Beale, Brunswick, and Commercial; tourist courts Akron, Arcadia, Wal-A-Pai, Williams, Kit Carson, Gypsy Garden, Stony Wold, Bungalow, White Rock, Lambert’s Gateway Village, Bell’s, Stratton’s, Kingman, El Trovatore, and Challenger.” Kingman in the 20th century, as with Beale Springs in the 19th century, was a stop on the way to someplace.
The moderate climate, the stunning natural beauty of the area, and the moderate climate led many a traveler to stop, and to call Kingman home. And so, Kingman continued its pace of slow, steady growth into the 21st century.
Kingman is still a stop on the way to someplace as evidenced by the high average occupancy rate of motels and the fact that in the coming months construction will commence on new facilities. Travelers by the thousands stop every day in Kingman for a burger, for gas, and perhaps, for a good nights rest.
Even with the resurgent interest in Route 66 that has generated a tsunami of international travelers along this storied highway, Kingman is often little more than a stop on the way to someplace. This, however, is the dawn of a new era and Kingman is on the cusp of becoming a destination for travelers, and for people looking for a place to raise families, to retire, and to open businesses.
Miles of scenic hiking and mountain bike trails, the world’s only electric vehicle museum, the renaissance of the historic business district lit by colorful neon, the embryonic Route 66 walk of fame, Beale Celebrations and Grand Event Center, events such as Chillin’ on Beale and the Route 66 Fun Run, and 160-scenic miles of historic Route 66. Kingman is centrally located; sixty-miles to Grand Canyon Caverns, seventy-miles to the Grand Canyon Skywalk, forty-five miles to Peach Springs and the only road to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. White water rafting, a WWII airfield, and ghost towns, Hualapai Mountain Park, Desert Diamond Distillery, and great restaurants.

Blender to Unity and Playmaker | Part 4: Adding interaction
Adding FSM with playmaker
For those of you who don’t know what playmaker is. Playmaker is an extension to Unity editor created by a company called Hutong. Playmaker basically adds FSM or finite state machine functionality to game object in Unity. I will not cover the detail too much in this tutorial about what is FSM and how to use Playmaker from scratch, because you can find very clear and complete tutorials about playmaker FSM in Hutong’s website.
Okay so to add a new FSM open the playmaker editor and just right click and then choose “add FSM”. Notice by doing this a playmaker component is added to the object. So if later, you want to remove the FSM, simply click this option panel and choose remove component. Okay. Now, the first state or the state that has the start event on it, we want to rename this state to “closed”. Because at first the chest should be in closed condition. And then right click add another state and name it “opening”. Then another state called “opened”. And the last state will be “closing” state.
Okay, now that our states are all defined. We need to create an event. Event in programming terms are something that is happening and that we want to inform other object or objects about it. In Playmaker, an event is symbolized as arrows. So basically if you want to create an arrow or transition then you need to create an event. Okay. So in the event tab we can create a new event by typing “Clicked” and then just hit enter. You can name event to any name you want as long as it make sense to you and so you or your team will understand it. We name our event “clicked” for any transition between state that happens due to user’s mouse click. So to use the event, we can right click on the closed state and then “add transition” notice the clicked event that we create before is nicely listed in here by playmaker. Drag this event so it creates an arrow to the opening state. In the opening state we’re going to play the opening animation. Then after it is finished, it should automatically transitioning to the opened state. Now for finish event, we actually don’t need to create it our self as playmaker already has one called “FINISHED” with all capital letter. Next from “opened” state to “closing” state we can use the clicked event again. And from “closing” animation state to “closed” state we can use finished event like before. So again. When the game start the object will be in closed state. Then when the user click the object, it should go to the opening state which plays the animation. Then after the animation finished playing, it will jump to the opened state. Then when in opened state, the user click on it, it will go to the closing animation state. And after the animation is finished it will go back to the closed state.
Okay. Currently our FSM will do nothing as we don’t have any actions inside each of the state. To add an action. Lest pick the “closed” state first. Then in the state tab, down here we can see the “action browser” button. Click it and then type “pick”. You will see “mouse pick event” action listed. We can double click on it. Now, the mouse pick event action is added to the “closed” state. The “game object” option up here determine which object will be the target. “Use owner” means that it will target it self to check whether it is being clicked or not. Now this is possible because we have a collider component up here. If no collider exist in this object, playmaker will display red error message. Okay, now “mouse pick event” action can actually pick a lot of mouse events. Not just mouse clicking event. But right now we’re only interested in clicking event. For clicking we can actually use “mouse down” or “mouse up” events. Lets choose “mouse down” event for now. Click on this pull down list and choose “clicked” which is the name of our existing event. So basically when the mouse is down on this object then the “clicked” event will fire off and it will transition the FSM to the next state which is the opening state.
In the opening state, we want to have play animation action. So click on the action browser and then type “play”. Double click on this “play animation” action. Okay. The “game object” is the target object just as we mentioned before. We can use “specify game object” if we want to play the animation on other object. “Use owner” means the object who owns the playmaker FSM, which is this object it self. Okay now on the “anim name” option, if we click on this list we can see playmaker cleverly list all the available animations that this object has. Choose “opening” now.
Okay. Now lets test it. Click the play game button up here. Sorry we need to turn off this “maximize on play” toggle button up here, so we can see the playmaker editor while the game is running. Lets hit play again. Now as we can see as soon as the game play, the closed state will become active. And currently it is waiting for the mouse key down event. If we click on it. It will fire up the “clicked” event and move the FSM to the “opening” state where the opening animation take place. After finish playing the animation it will automatically transitioned to the opened state. From this “opened” state we can not go any further as we haven’t create any actions for it. But the process is similar. So lets turn off play for now. Pick this state then click in here to select the action. Press control C to copy. Then pick this state. Click in here and then control V to paste the action. Okay, now of course for this state, it should play the “closing” animation. Next, lets pick this state, click in here and press control C. Then click this state. Click in here and paste it in. For this action we actually don’t need to change anything. Okay so that’s it. Lets do a final test. Lets make it maximize for now. Hit play again. Click to open. And then click to close.

Wow Yuwanda, I’m so impressed with this site and very thankful you made it! I’m very new to all this and chose a site on what I was interested in and that’s drones. They are fun to use and a wide variety so this was a easy choice. I made lists of different price ranges for people looking to buy one as a gift or for themselves. I’m constantly looking up new ideas and trying to find other people’s experiences with affiliate marketing. That’s why this site was so amazing to me. It’s very inspiring and I’ll be checking back from time to time to read everyone’s experiences. Thanks a lot! BTW I signed up for share a sell through you. Maybe they have something I can add
The problem with affiliate marketing, like many other home business options, are the so-called gurus and get-rich-quick programs that suggest affiliate marketing can be done fast and with little effort. Odds are you've read claims of affiliate marketing programs that say you can make hundreds of thousands of dollars a month doing almost nothing ("Three clicks to rich!"). Or, they suggest you can set up your affiliate site, and then forget it, except to check your bank deposits.
With website builders, you get what you pay for. While they have plenty of free templates, more professional-looking websites will always cost more money. However, this investment could be worth it, especially as a website is one of the few startup costs for affiliate marketers. The social media profiles you develop are dependent on your niche and target market.
So for those of you guys who may have gotten lost in the explanation, it’s easier when I have a whiteboard because I can draw pictures, and circles and arrows. Those of you guys who have been with me for a while know that that’s what I like doing. There’s that. If you want to see me kind of sketch this out, I did a video that kind of explains this. You can see it for free if you just go to affiliatebootcamp.com. Oh I almost got hit by a Sherman Williams paint truck. I survived. No worries, you guys.
After going through Module 5 you’ll know the secret to finding & sharing content your subscribers can’t get enough of! They’ll print it out. They’ll put it on their fridge & send it to their friends! And best of all - you won’t have to create any of it! You’ll learn the advantages of shared content over created content and even how to use contests & give-aways to make sure your subscribers stay in your funnel forever!
is there a way to do this same process but 100% free? I am really strapped on cash right now, but really want to be able to copy your process and start making money right away! If you know of any other websites/alternatives that I could use to do this, I would really appreciate it if you would share them with me. I understand if there isnt a way around having to pay though, and just want to thank you either way. I thank you for your time and your help. ~ Cassie
In the online marketing world, there is absolutely no such thing as failure. Learning how to market to people online is not easy and is best learned through trial and error. Test, test, and re-test. Fine tune what works and ditch what doesn’t work. As an affiliate marketer, you will spend a lot of time on projects that go nowhere and never make you any money. But when you do find something that makes you money, it can almost always be replicated over and over again for YEARS. I am making thousands of dollars per month from things I worked on several years ago. Each month it’s like a cash machine pumping money into my bank account. I didn’t find those revenue streams without a whole lot of epic failures.
Bounty Events are available in select countries as referenced in the Appendix (“Special Program Fees”). You will earn Special Program Fees described in this Section 4(a) in connection with “Bounty Events” which occur when (1) a customer, who must be eligible for the Bounty Event as described in the Appendix, clicks through a Special Link on your Site to a bounty-specific homepage on an Amazon Site, and (2) during the resulting Session the customer completes the bounty action described in the Appendix.
The internet offers boundless possibilities for earning a living online. Upwork and Freelancers Union found that 35% of the American workforce was doing some type of freelance work in 2016, and 73% said technology made it easier to find that work. One of the ways to harness the internet as an income source is pursuing affiliate marketing. It’s intended as a way to generate passive income, but does it really work? Let’s consider.
How much time would it realistically take for you to build an affiliate network from scratch? Do you have someone on your team to oversee this initiative by forming relationships with publishers, handling disputes, troubleshooting technical problems, and making sure that payments are sent on time? Do the anticipated returns justify the invested time?
If at any time there has been no substantial activity on your account for at least 3 years, then we will have the right, with 7 days’ written notice to withhold the accrued fees for your inactive account, up to a maximum closure withholding of an amount equal to the minimum amount listed in the Payment Minimum Chart for payment by gift card. Further, any unpaid accrued fees in your account may be subject to escheatment under applicable law.
Hello Miles, thank you for the valuable information. I want to get started as an affiliate marketer but I am afraid to use my real name. I have a PhD in Public Health from a reputable university and this stops me from marketing products because I am afraid I may be judged for marketing products that may not be based on scientific evidence. I want to have the freedom to sell all products. How do I get over this block? Can I still build a list without using myself as the brand? How do I succeed if I am working behind the scenes? What name do I use? A fake name or use a company name? Thank you!
When you have your own product or service you hold a lot more control of the funnel from beginning to end. But I’ve worked with many marketers to help them better control the best affiliate marketing funnel with banner ads, blog posts and social media. Once people move from those elements to the sales page – I help them control their message and email marketing campaigns and everything behind the scenes. | <urn:uuid:091cdb6b-7ac6-4a6f-9c21-46cf22beec5e> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://affiliatefunnel.co/affiliate-marketing-training-meaning-amazon-affiliate-marketing-tricks.html | 2019-05-24T08:05:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257553.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20190524064354-20190524090354-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.961496 | 1,395 | [

Now here’s an advertising mechanism for newspapers that we should support. The Newspaper Picture festivalat Film Forum is an amazing act of collective werd-nerd nostalgia that, I hope, is more wistful and celebratory than creepy and necrophilic. I caught a double feature on Sunday that included what may now be my favorite movie of all time, Park Row, the story of hard-charging, fair-minded idealistic reporters who escape the sensationalist cloud of their yellow journalism publisher and strike out to start their own scrappy new rag (printed on butcher paper, at first) in an already saturated New York newspaper market.
The festival highlights the golden age of print journalism, and the most recent film is All the President’s Men (1976). I was impressed at the detailed accuracy of Park Row, and how it played part like a historical instructional film on the machinations of the old press machines, the marvel of mechanical type setting, the knowledge that one blockbuster story is enough to sell papers one day, but you need to keep them coming after that day after day after day. I was also impressed with how ridiculously romantic the narrative was, especially considering how there have been little to no movies in recent times showing journalists as anything but a writhing, heatless mob, a gaggle of seedy scandal makers or ethics-less wretches who sleep with any source who will have them. Park Row throws its full force behind the cleansing power of journalism and the high-minded integrity reporters should aspire to, including great lines like “We fight with news! Not knuckles!” You tell em, chief.
Of course, the whiskey chugging, fedora tipping newsrooms of old are mostly a collective fiction, or at least an amalgam. Even AO Scott says:
But maybe those old-school newshounds are mythical creatures after all. Maybe no newsroom couple ever talked as fast or flirted as sharply as Hildy Johnson and Walter Burns, played most memorably in 1940 by Rosalind Russelland Cary Grant in “His Girl Friday.” The same characters were played, with a bit less sparkle, nine years earlier by Adolph Menjou and Pat O’Brien in “The Front Page.” Both versions are naturally part of The Newspaper Picture —how could they not be?—and they mark out one area of this vibrant and protean genre.
Film Forum is showing some 43 movies about newspapers, in one way or another, with a few special guests introducing the films (Randy Cohen, Brooke Gladstone, etc). Got some time? Go see them. Even if it never was quite as good as it was in Park Row, it shows us a time when Hollywood thought journalists were worth more than objects of sexual escapades. | <urn:uuid:7baea2b0-9307-4181-945b-add855e5c38c> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://invertedsoapbox.com/2010/04/23/friday-happyinverted-soapbox-heartily-endorses/ | 2019-05-24T07:11:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257553.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20190524064354-20190524090354-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.958813 | 579 | [

Superheroes are always sporting the latest gadgets (or, more like, the haven't-been-invented-yet gadgets), so it is reasonable to assume they each have a smartphone or two tucked away in their spandex.
While these masked men may seem pretty private, they still need some bros to kick it with on the weekend. And the best ways to communicate? Text messages, of course.
The Tumblr Texts from superheroes imagines the hilarious convos that unfold between Superman, Spider-Man and Iron Man. There are even group chats between the Justice League, sexts between Wonder Woman and her flings and, of course, some gossip-filled texts between villains like Lex Luthor and Two-Face.
The Tumblr's creators, Diana McCallum and Andrew Ivimey, told Mashable that "they combined [their] comedy powers" to create the content for the site.
"We really like jokes that pick apart aspects of the superhero genre," McCallum said. "We both read comics, and watch a lot of superhero movies and cartoons, and once we start discussing them and breaking them down, there's always something to make fun of — a plot hole or a logic jump that you don't notice immediately — but is glaringly obvious when you think about it."
So next time you're gallivanting around Gotham and spot Batman, see if you can score his digits. Who wouldn't want to have that number on speed dial? (If all else fails, see if he will at least Snapchat with you.) | <urn:uuid:865455ca-5b07-4d23-996b-02581520fd4d> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://mashable.com/2013/05/01/texts-from-superheroes/ | 2019-05-24T07:05:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257553.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20190524064354-20190524090354-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.954858 | 320 | [

“What’s the difference between advertising and public relations?”
This is one of the top questions that we get asked by new and prospective clients. And, it is an important question to ask yourself when trying to figure out a high-performing marketing mix. Here are three reasons to use public relations in place of or in addition to paid advertising.
#1 — save money and increase ROI
Paid advertising is expensive and measurement of your return, if not customized, can be unclear. This is where public relations can save the day.
Our job is to get free publicity for you and we can do this through our relationships with the media. We pitch story ideas and products, create press releases, and keep your business top-of-mind for writers and producers at a multitude of outlets. Articles and television segments provide third-party endorsements of your business and add a layer of credibility that advertising does not.
#2 — increase your reach with PR
You’ve created the perfect newspaper ad for your company. The local paper has a circulation of about 6,500, so you can assume that 10% or less saw your ad and paid any attention to it. If you spent the same amount of time creating a press release or pitch, you’re able to send this to many different outlets, including print, television, radio, and online. If the story gets picked up, it will likely be picked up in other outlets, increasing the reach of your business’s message. Plus, the shelf life of a good article is much longer than a one-off advertisement.
#3 — be more active with targeting your customers
The average person encounters hundreds of advertising messages throughout their day. Cut through the noise with a perfectly placed article or fascinating television segment. People pick up the paper to read articles, not to browse advertisements.
A good article in a carefully selected media outlet can actively target the audience your business is looking to attract and help convert them to customers. We sit down with each of our clients to find out what their goal is. Based on that, we devise a “most wanted” media list to help us cater our messages to the individual outlets. This increases our chances of landing a story based on the ideas we have pitched because we know what the media is looking for.
Goals and objectives behind a successful PR campaign revolve around the fact that consumers place more trust in and are more likely to do business with a company they know and admire. By using PR, businesses can enhance their brand awareness and public persona, something that advertisements can’t do alone. That’s why the best way to promote a business is to incorporate both public relations and advertising into your marketing strategy in an integrated way. Remember, people must be exposed to your marketing message multiple times before they’re able to recall it. We would love to have an opportunity to talk with you about coordinating your advertising, public relations, social media marketing and digital marketing under one brand umbrella. | <urn:uuid:81a8a28b-3f33-48b2-8f89-1bc9c1cf6ba3> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.marshallpr.com/top-3-reasons-to-use-pr-instead-of-advertising/ | 2019-05-24T07:18:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257553.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20190524064354-20190524090354-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.954386 | 616 | [

Please make sure your child has (clearly labelled):
- Two changes of named clothes – more if your child is potty training.
- Outdoor comfy and hardwearing shoes.
- Wet weather gear – wellington boots, an all in one rain suit or trousers and coat. We can never be sure that it will not rain and we believe children should be able to go outside whatever the weather.
- Hot weather clothing – a sunhat, long sleeved loose shirt if appropriate, sun cream if you do not wish your child to use the Young Friends sun cream (you have the choice of using ours and the small fee will be added to your invoice at the start of the summer).
- We ask that all children have a raincoat and wellington boots. We can never be sure that it will not rain and we believe children should be able to go outside whatever the weather! If they are not walking yet an all in one rain suit is best so they can crawl about or sit without catching a cold and getting wet. Please provide an all in one rain suit if this is the case. However, please always send children in appropriate clothes for messy and outdoor play which they can easily manage themselves e.g. elasticated waistbands and Velcro rather than buttons and laces. At Young Friends Nursery we want to encourage independence wherever we can.
- If you wish your child to wear gloves and/or a scarf they must be left in your child’s coat.
- A woolly hat.
- Any creams that your child needs.
- These are best brought in in large bags and must be replenished before they finish. You will be told by your key person and it will be written on the whiteboard in your room when this is about to happen. If under the rare circumstance we have to borrow nappies from the Young Friends Supply, when you bring in the next packet the exact amount borrowed will be deducted to replenish the spare supply.
It is really important that every child has all of the above.
It is the nursery’s responsibility to:
- Role model good all weather health practices by ensuring the staff wear appropriate clothing e.g. when a child is being told they must wear a coat or gloves, the staff member is wearing them too, or when they are told to wear a sunhat in the hot weather, our staff are wearing them too.
- Ensure nappies are changed at 10.30, 2.30 and once between 4 and 5 and are checked every 2 hours.
- Ensure that all children are dresses warmly and appropriately for the weather each time they go out.
- When a child gets wet or cold or very dirty they are changed into something dry and clean when they come in.
- Change a child’s nappy as soon as they are noticed to be wet.
It is the parents/carers responsibility to:
- Ensure your child arrives with a clean nappy at the start of their session
- Ensure your child has all the above named items when they start nursery and continue to have throughout their time with us
- Ensure your children are dressed in appropriate clothing for the weather that day
- Ensure all special requirements are put in writing to management with regards to nappies and creams etc.
- Ensure that your children are dressed in clothing that you do not mind getting dirty and sometimes stained (paint will always be difficult to avoid altogether and even the most child friendly brands can still stain clothes)
- Ensure you take home dirty and wet clothes to wash immediately (always check on your child’s peg for these)
- Ensure your child has sufficient named spare items of clothing every time they come in
- Ensure you wash and bring back any clothes that you may have borrowed from the nursery’s spare supply if we have used any for your child | <urn:uuid:a17a06d5-5193-4734-8030-ffe7875814da> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://youngfriends.co.uk/classes/alphabet-matching-class/ | 2019-05-24T07:34:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257553.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20190524064354-20190524090354-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.954776 | 798 | [

The Cupressus sempervirens plant is an ornamental Cypress tree native to the Mediterranean. This evergreen can reach about 115 feet in height (35 m), but is usually about two thirds of this and is thus classified as a medium sized conifer.
It has dark green foliage that is carried in sprays. It carries ovoid seed cones that reach about 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) in length. The male cones are much smaller 1/5th of an inch (5 mm).
Cupressus Sempervirens photograph by Nova Cook.
Italian Cypress performs best in dry areas with a Mediterranean climate and thus thrives in southern Australia, California, and South Africa. It also does well in more moderate cooler climates such as the UK, Pacific northwestern states, and even New Zealand. A lot of the main cultivars have been bred to have a fastigate (columnar, erect, parallel branches) nature. You may recognize this plant as being one of the favorites of the artist Vincent van Gough.

When Hurricane Irene swept through the Northeast in 2011, it caused significant damage to Bushkill Creek, one of the few streams that feeds directly into the Ashokan Reservoir in the Catskills. River banks were torn apart and the resulting erosion caused tainted water downstream. One Nature was invited to design a plan for restoring a severely impacted section of Bushkill Creek and the client, Ulster County, agreed to a state-of-the-art bioengineered design to restore a 6-acre section of river and banks. The Bushkill Creek Restoration Project was completed in the fall of 2016.
Bioengineering - integrating nature into the landscape restoration design - is fast becoming a popular solution for regeneration, because the methods are ecologically sound and result in long-lasting revitalization. Designs that are purely engineered, using only non-living materials, are strong at the time of completion, but tend to fall apart over time. Bioengineered designs use living material. With time, a bioengineered system gains strength and lasting stability as plant roots take hold and integrate with structural supports. In fact, an engineered design was put in place shortly after Hurricane Irene and subsequently failed.
The first stage of the Bushkill Creek project was to rebuild and fill in the left bank with soil since much of it was swept away by storm damage and erosion. Trench packing followed—a method of filling small holes in the contour of a stream bank with live branch cuttings and compacted soil to encourage plant growth and stop erosion. Once the soil was shaped, sloped, and trench packed, live stakes and live fascines were inserted, both of which are instrumental to preventing further river bank erosion in bioengineered design. Live stakes are native, live woody cuttings with the branches trimmed. They then grow a root mat that stabilizes the earth bed by binding soil particles together. These live stakes, once flourishing, also enhance the beauty of the site and provide a habitat for wildlife. Live fascines are bundles of live brushwood that provide immediate erosion protection. The fascines, which take hold quickly, were planted parallel to the waterway on both sides of the stream and close to the water’s edge.
The plant species selected for live cuttings are all native plants and trees thriving in the surrounding Ashokan watershed, including willow, dogwood, sycamore, alder, winterberry holly, and meadowsweet, among several others. Once the earthwork was completed and the trench pack, live stake, and fascine installations were in place, the site was thickly seeded with a custom-designed mix of aggressive native plants precisely chosen for the Bushkill Creek environment. In addition to several species of grasses and ferns, wildflowers such as jack-in-the-pulpit, marigold, milkweed, rose mallow, bee-balm, monkeyflower, and aster are integral to the mix.
After a few months, erosion was greatly diminished at the Bushkill Creek site, water quality was restored, and the area is growing its way back to a healthy, stable, and sustainable ecosystem.
Note: While One Nature developed the conceptual vision for this project and performed construction management, professional design services for this project were provided by Hudson Land Design Professional Engineering, P.C. and Woidt Engineering & Consulting, P.C. | <urn:uuid:f560c1e3-6dd2-42aa-8654-f563c748029f> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://www.onenaturellc.com/rewild/otpmdxzsw7urzy43qtgctuoo72tj0o | 2019-05-26T15:00:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232259316.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20190526145334-20190526171334-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.963252 | 693 | [

About Tech AccessoriesIn an age where the latest technology is as much a part of our personal lives as it is with our professional ones, the question was never if technology would one day become fused with style, but when. We’re not just talking about your favorite gadgets that come in a particularly appealing design or style— we’re taking a look at one of the most fashionable and functional devices of this century.
In an age where the latest technology is as much a part of our personal lives as it is with our professional ones, the question was never if technology would one day become fused with style, but when. We’re not just talking about your favorite gadgets that come in a particularly appealing design or style— we’re taking a look at one of the most fashionable and functional devices of this century.
Yes, we’re talking about headphones.
Headphones are as much a fashion statement these days as they are a useful piece of wearable equipment. Today's top-selling headphones have a bulky, somewhat retro appeal, but are rooted firmly in the 21st Century with the fact that many of them are wireless (or have the option to be wireless). Even with their nostalgic style, the modern tech nevertheless helps them pair well with just about any outfit.
Beats By Dre (sometimes referred to as “Beats By Dr. Dre) have lead the movement in modern headphone fashion. For a while, it seemed like headphones were being phased out in favor of the smaller, less noticeable earbuds. Then 2006 came, and legendary rapper / music producer Dr. Dre teamed up with industry mogul Jimmy Iovine to create the Beats. These headphones were inspired by the bulky headphones of the 20th Century, but they had a cool streamlined look to them, came in cool colors and packed a lot of sound into two small cans.
Beats by Dre was eventually acquired by Apple, and the rest is history. Music-loving consumers with a solid sense of style now have more options than ever when it comes to selecting their way to listen. Now, larger over-the-ear headphones began appearing considered among the epitome of today's tech fashion, although smaller earbuds are of course still a must for those who like a simple, sleek appearance.
Take a look at our selection, and you'll find headphones in metallics and leather of different colors. And for the earbud lovers out there, we have plenty of stylish pairs of those too. Whether you're dressing down or happen to be wearing your ultimate chic clothes, the addition of today's headphones give your appearance an instant funky-cool look. As for earbuds, we have them in your favorite florals and colors to add some fun to any outfit.

Billy Joe Saunders Retains his WBO Middleweight Title
Britain’s Billy Joe Saunders has successfully defended his WBO middleweight title against Canadian David Lemieux in Canada in this past weekend. 28-year-old Saunders had an easy time of it, winning by unanimous decision and trumping every single one of the judges’ scorecards. The official scorecard read 120-108, 117-111, 118-110. Now, with 26 unbeaten fights under his belt, Saunders has publicly called for a unification fight against Gennady Golovkin.
Speaking directly to Golovkin via the press cameras, Saunders said if Golovkin stepped into the ring with him, it would be a different story, he would be punching fresh air. As for Lemieux, the Canadian won all four of his fights since Golovkin took him down in the eighth round back in 2015. Up against Saunders, the Canadian had no answer to the sheer power and speed of the Brit, conceding his fourth win of his career.
Fighting for the first time in Northern America, Saunders completely unwound the home favourite. His agility and astonishing footwork was too much for Lemieux to handle, who was actually no slouch himself. Using a combination of jabs and uppercuts, the Brit landed a massive combo in the fourth before drawing boos from the crowd when he taunted Lemieux for missing a shot.
Lemieux Outclassed in Every Round
Saunders continued to punish Lemieux round after round, leaving him bruised and bloodied after a flurry of jabs. Saunders won every single round of the bout on one of the judges’ scorecards and was so dominant that the end result was read by the crowd long before the bout ended. Speaking to the press after the fight, Saunders said he is the type of fighter that looks easy to whip, easy to put down but no one can hit him. About fighting in Canada, the Brit said he likes to come to someone else’s back yard as it makes him into a better fighter.
In the build-up to the fight, Saunders said that he had actually fallen out of love with boxing since he was not able to face any of the top names in his division. Saunders may just get a crack at Golovkin though. The Middleweight world title is the only one that Golovkin hasn’t yet won and will most likely be contemplating the idea of a unification fight in 2018; at least that is what Saunders hopes.

Bingpian is a time-honored herb in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is an almost pure chemical with a chemical composition of (+)-borneol and has been historically used as a topical analgesic for millennia. However, the clinical efficacy of topical borneol lacks stringent evidence-based clinical studies and verifiable scientific mechanism. We examined the analgesic efficacy of topical borneol in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study involving 122 patients with postoperative pain. Topical application of borneol led to significantly greater pain relief than placebo did. Using mouse models of pain, we identified the TRPM8 channel as a molecular target of borneol and showed that topical borneol-induced analgesia was almost exclusively mediated by TRPM8, and involved a downstream glutamatergic mechanism in the spinal cord. Investigation of the actions of topical borneol and menthol revealed mechanistic differences between borneol- and menthol-induced analgesia and indicated that borneol exhibits advantages over menthol as a topical analgesic. Our work demonstrates that borneol, which is currently approved by the US FDA to be used only as a flavoring substance or adjuvant in food, is an effective topical pain reliever in humans and reveals a key part of the molecular mechanism underlying its analgesic effect.

Roma continued their impressive unbeaten streak on Tuesday night, but were unable to pick up a win against Manchester City in the Champions League.
Roma fell behind in the early stages of the game at the Etihad Stadium after former City defender, Maicon held back Sergio Aguero in the penalty area. His offence did not go unpunished as Aguero stepped up and cooly slotted home the resulting penalty in the fourth minute, sending Łukasz Skorupski the wrong way.
It did not take long for Roma to find their feet, however as Maicon - looking to make amends for his earlier mistake - unleashed a thunderous shot inside the area, which struck the crossbar but was imminently cleared to spare City's blushes so soon after taking the lead.
Roma's onslaught continued with some intricate play from their midfield. Former Arsenal forward Gervinho spearheaded the attack on numerous occasions during the first half.
After taking the lead, City began to see less of the ball and were eventually punished by Roma in the 23rd minute.
A slick goal created by Skorupski reached Francesco Totti after just three passes and the veteran captain effortlessly took the ball in his casual stride to lob over a charging Joe Hart.
This goal was one to go down in the history books as Totti is now the oldest scorer in Champions League history, overtaking the majestic Ryan Giggs who previously held the record.
The rest of the half saw City come more into their own and they could have easily had a second penalty as Kostas Manolas' trailing hand made contact with a low cross, but the referee was not interested in City's pleas this time around. Gervinho continued to create problems for the City defence, but his shot from a tight angle was well parried by Hart before the end of the half.
The second half saw City take a little more precaution in response to Roma's blistering counter attacks. James Milner entered the fray in place of Jesus Nava and the Englishman's high work-rate obviously played a factor in this substitution.
Roma, however, continued to find holes in City's defence and came close to taking the lead in the 51st minute as Alessandro Florenzi's close-range shot was blocked by Hart and a few seconds later Miralem Pjanic's long-range effort curled inches wide of the post with England's number one well beaten.
With the 60th minute fast approaching, City made their second substitution of the evening, bringing on veteran midfielder and 2012 Champions League winner Frank Lampard.
The former England international had scored four goals in his previous three outings for City and was nearly able to make an immediate impact as he threaded through a killer ball to Fernandinho in the penalty area, who went down after a tangling of legs with Manolas and Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa. City were again denied in their claims for another penalty.
The game plateaued up until the 71st minute, when Roma made their first substitution of the night with big summer signing Juan Manuel Iturbe replacing Totti to add more pace and agility to the task of stretching City's backline.
This almost paid off as a slick one-two between the Argentinian and Maicon resulted in a low-driven cross into the area that had to be cleared desperately by Pablo Zabaleta.
In the final ten minutes, long range efforts from both Lampard and David Silva went comfortably wide, before the Romans brought on Jose Holebas for Florenzi and City made their last change of the night with Stefan Jovetic replacing goalscorer Aguero.
Maicon then made his departure in the 87th minute as he was replaced by Greek nternational Vasilis Torosidis.
Silva goes close
Silva came close to a late winner for City in the 93rd minute, however his near-post shot fizzed wide of the post and Jovetic's long-range effort from 30 yards went sky high into the stands.
At the sound of the final whistle, Manchester City's task of qualification became slightly more difficult as they have yet to win a game in the Champions League this season and remain in third place in Group E.
Roma are unbeaten in seven games this season and face Italian champions Juventus this Sunday. | <urn:uuid:30f324e1-5f69-4a42-a785-aa960472d547> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.givemesport.com/509323-manchester-city-suffer-more-champions-league-frustration-against-roma | 2019-05-19T14:27:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232254889.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20190519141556-20190519163556-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.979313 | 891 | [

As the book that started it all, Redwall has spawned many different editions and reissues, far more than any other novel written by Brian Jacques. Certainly time is a contributing factor— more time since its original publication in 1986 means it’s simply had more opportunity to be reissued than the other volumes. But there’s a […]
For 18 years now, I’ve been an avid Redwall collector. It started simply enough— there were eight books out at the time, I had to get them all and read them all, that was all there was to it. So I did. As it turned out, I got a mishmash of hardcovers and paperbacks. Wouldn’t […]
It has been a long road to get us to this point. The Long Patrol was founded on this day in 1996– August 15th, 1996, to be exact. In the 18 years since then, the site has grown and morphed in ways I could not anticipate but for which I will always be grateful. On our […]

“The 2018 edition of The Orchid Show at The New York Botanical Garden is exhibiting commissioned works by acclaimed Belgian floral artist Daniel Ost. Entering its 16th year, the popular exhibition, showcasing thousands of dramatically displayed orchids in the Botanical Garden’s historic Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, features a series of installations crafted by Ost, each a living sculpture that celebrates the individual beauty of these stunning flowers.
One of the world’s leading floral designers, Ost uses flowers as a means of expression. He identifies himself as a bloembinder, the Dutch term for an artist who works with flowers. His large-scale artworks have been tailored to the unique environment of the landmark Victorian style Haupt Conservatory, complementing the architecture of the building while creating a transformative, dazzling spectacle of color, form, and texture. Bamboo, arranged in grids and calling to mind the glass grids of the Conservatory, and clear tubing, meant to both evoke water and connect to the Conservatory’s glass, are among the materials employed in his artful installations to which individual orchids are attached so that each flower and form can be seen and appreciated. The works pay homage to his training in ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging. In ikebana, artists value the ideas of wabi-sabi, a philosophy that finds beauty in imperfection, asymmetry, and impermanence.” — New York Botanical Garden | <urn:uuid:a217d008-b106-49a1-a201-a119157b16a4> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://artssummary.com/2018/03/03/16th-annual-orchid-show-at-new-york-botanical-gardens-enid-a-haupt-conservatory-march-3-april-22-2018/ | 2019-05-23T05:18:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257100.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20190523043611-20190523065611-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.936096 | 315 | [

When you’re watching TV dramas or soaps, particularly American offerings, you’ll often see someone served legal papers in an over-the-top and, well, dramatic way, as the court orders can serve as a shocking plot development.
And while you may not see it too often on British-made television, it is a true part of the legal process in this country. For many court proceedings, legal documents must be presented to someone in person, which is called process serving.
But what if the intended recipient can’t, or doesn’t want to be found? In these cases, “sub service” or substituted service may be acceptable. This is where the order is delivered by other means.
Before considering sub service, it makes sense for solicitors to hire a private investigator to aid with process serving. A private investigator can do the leg work and deliver a number of court orders as part of their working routine. And when someone can’t be found, they can use every skill in their locker to track the person down, to try to ensure full service in person wherever it is possible.
Even then, sometimes it just cannot be done. If an intended recipient is being purposefully evasive then it may not be the best use of resources to spend a long time tracing them, especially as the court order may have an expiry.
If you’ve used a quality private investigator, like the team at EJM Investigations, then there is no need to be concerned as this is when sub service can apply. Firstly, the investigator will complete a full legal statement documenting the attempts to serve the order in person. This will be written in the correct format and have all the required detail to allow an application for sub service to be made.
Once this is granted, the solicitor is then able to deliver the court order to the last known address of the recipient, or serve them to a close relative on their behalf, provided they are over 18, or to their workplace. This can ensure that proceedings continue without delay, even if the recipient still chooses to ignore the court order.
If you need help with process serving and often find recipients hard to track down, speak to us at EJM Investigations and we’ll help with everything, from tracking individuals to the applications for sub service.
