From Athens, take the A1 motorway to Thessaloniki, a distance of 501 kilometres. At the city limits of Thessaloniki, bear left to Vardaris Square and then drive straight on to Langada Street. The monument is in the new Jewish cemetery in the suburb of Stavroupoli, opposite the old ‘ΑΓΝΟ’ milk factory.
The monument is in the new Jewish cemetery in the suburb of Stavroupoli.
On 6 December 1942, the systematic destruction of the old Jewish cemetery in the eastern section of Thessaloniki began. Bodies were exhumed, the graves desecrated and tombstones used to build pavements and the like. Only a few families managed to salvage and store the remains of their ancestors.
Between 15 March and 2 August 1943, the Jewish residents of Thessaloniki were loaded into cattle cars and taken to the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp. More than 50,000 people were deported in 19 trains. After the war, the city’s Jewish community, once the largest in Greece, numbered just 1,950 members.
The Holocaust monument was erected in April 1962, after the Jewish community had reorganized and had a new cemetery.
Until the new Holocaust monument was erected in 1997 in the city centre, this inaccessible monument in the new Jewish cemetery was the only reminder of the history of the Holocaust.

My order was HORRIBLE... we went to the store to pick up our order at the time it said to arrive. Our order was ready however we ended up waiting an additional 20 minutes with our food just sitting on the front counter. This was just the first of many issues. There were 2 waitresses at the registers and as they were bagging my order they allowed a customer to help them put my order in a bag. This is completely unacceptable and unsanitary and completely disgusting. So we finally took our order home and had to call the store 64 times before even being able to get through. When we arrived at home out food was cold. The eggs were like sponges my chips were so soggy i couldnt even eat them. So I finally got through to a manager and she wasnt willing to discount my order or refund me or anything for the trouble we had gone through. She then accused my husband of being rude to the girls in the front when in fact he only asked if they could fix one of the products so he could carry the bag easier. She said the employees told her a customer didnt help them. I told her to check their cameras if she didnt believe me and I was even able to give a description of the lady who did in fact help them. She told me once I arrived back to the restaurant her name was Holly. The only thing she said she could do for me was to remake my food. She said online ordering is different from the store so she couldnt refund me or even discount my order for all the issues I had that morning. She was also very rude.
Great value and choice. Friendly service and a welcome change to the usual fast food options.
Fast service on the mobile orders but service sometimes forget the basic condiments such a the butter for the pancakes and utensils. But overall good service.
I was very disappointed with this order. First of all the food was cold by the time we got it home, which is less than a 5 minute car ride. Second the Philli Cheesestake sandwich had an extremely little amount of meat on it. Definitely not worth the $11. Third, the buns on the veggie burger were covered in the bourbon sauce making it very unpleasant to eat. My hands were extremely sticky. I won't be ordering food from here again.
Order was not checked for accuracy because I only received half of my order and had to wait for them to make another one. When I received the other one I assumed it contained everything but they still forgot the hashbrowns. I didn't realize that until I was already home. Also, the pancakes were burnt on one order. Very dissatisfied.
If I could include a picture of the plate I got I would, burnt bacon, gross eggs and a little serving of hashbrowns for a one year old. The pancakes didn't get cooked right. This only happens on night shift. Whoever works night shifts should really get it together and do a better job. If your not going to cook anything right you shouldn't be working there.
I made an online order and it was ready when I got there! When I got home my food was still hot and delicious. I was very impressed because I normally have to ask for my French Toast cooked a little longer, it was perfect though and I didn’t even ask!!!
I love the cake batter shake!
the food was ok, but they forgot all of our requested condiments.
Great experience, easy order, pickup, nice hot food. | 2019-04-26T14:55:19 | https://locations.dennys.com/ES/CA/BAKERSFIELD/200103 |

The artist started using this style because he wanted to see inside shapes. At the same time, for him, the ribbons mean connection. The shape is easily recognisable as a rhino wrapped in ribbons, but you can see inside the rhino and right through the rhino, so there is a sort of void inside this animal. It’s a rhino shape formed by the ribbons but there is no rhino.

Seychelles Islands, officially known as the Republic of Seychelles, is an archipelagic nation that is a constellation of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean. It’s one of the last havens that from 1945 to 1992 for almost 40 years was a military bunker, an island off-limits, isolated and inaccessible to foreign visitors. By introducing native Hawaiian plants, the target isle may soon need a nick-name change, like the next island on our list. On this island, there is white-gray eel that it loves to show itself out of its hole which it can not be found on the other islands. Bird Island has been featured in many national magazines and newspapers throughout the world. | 2019-04-24T22:18:03 | http://www.highcountryoutdoors.net/2018/12 |
The initiative, The PV Solar Incubator, tagged: “Your Project, Our Expertise, For a Sustainable Future,” will be held in partnership with Hogan Lovells, Proparco, responsAbility, RINA Consulting, and Solarplaza,.
Phanes Group, an integrated end-to-end solar provider headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, has launched its first Solar Incubator programme, aimed at identifying PV projects in sub-Saharan Africa, by providing access to funding, and commercial and technical knowledge.
The organisers therefore invite PV developers to submit proposals for projects that are based in sub-Saharan Africa, and have a clear CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) component.
Candidates are asked to submit their proposals by October 1, via Phanes Group’s website. Shortlistees will be invited to pitch their projects to an expert panel comprised of the incubator’s partner organisations at Solarplaza’s “Unlocking Solar Capital Africa” conference in Côte d’Ivoire, October 25 to 26, where the industry’s biggest players will hold extensive discussions about solutions for Africa’s solar energy funding gap.
The Chief Executive Officer, Phanes Group, Martin Haupts, said: “Clean energy has the potential to transform sub-Saharan Africa for years to come, but successfully implemented PV solar projects require a diverse mix of expertise and knowledge to bring them to financial close.
The Executive Director, responsAbility Renewable Energy Holding, Joseph Nganga, another participating partner, said: “We aim to finance ideas with growth potential and strong entrepreneurial spirit, that successfully serve broad segments of the population. | 2019-04-21T22:24:09 | https://m.guardian.ng/energy/phanes-group-launches-energy-scheme-in-sub-sahara-africa/ |
Robyn came highly recommended and she way exceeded my hopes. She is a pleasure to work with and the creative understanding she brings to projects is enormous. We shared a Pinterest board and after sending only one set of images, Robyn instantly understood my style of garden and grasped my “floral aesthetic” very accurately. She sent visual suggestions of flowers to include in the herbaceous border I was creating and her suggestions showed that she had absolutely understood my taste in flowers. Her wide and detailed horticultural knowledge enabled her to advise very precisely which plants/flowers would flourish in which environments. I very much appreciated her sensitivity to the design, but I was also grateful how keenly aware of budget she was. Robyn recommended the best way to approach the brief while using my budget cleverly. When planting, she has laid out my plants perfectly with a view to how they will grow in the coming years - not to how they looked as they went into the ground. She is a patient and sensitive landscaper and I look forward to working with her again.
I had lots of ideas but did not know which were best suited to our garden. Robyn listened carefully to me and has designed and planted a beautiful garden for us. I could not have done it without her expertise. Robyn works in a very professional manner and I have no hesitation in recommending her.
… I love your designs and your planting schemes have been fantastic. I will certainly be recommending you and your services! | 2019-04-23T12:22:58 | https://www.planticrubdesign.com/testimonials/ |
Photo: Comptroller Gift (left) and Deputy Prime Minister, the Honourable Shawn Richards (right) shake hands.
Basseterre, St. Kitts, July 26, 2017 (SKNIS): As tax administrators from across the CARICOM region assemble in St. Kitts and Nevis for the 24th General Assembly and Technical Conference of the Caribbean Organization of Tax Administrators (COTA), Edward Gift, Comptroller of Inland Revenue Department, used the opportunity to remind entrepreneurs that the onus is on them to ensure that their taxes are paid in full and on time.
Commenting on the theme of the conference, “Promoting Voluntary Tax Compliance and Cooperation”, Mr. Gift said that the whole importance is that as tax administrators it is recognized that their role has changed.
“That is, we as tax administrators, are actually in a partnership with businesses where both of us are trying to achieve the same aim. That is, promoting voluntary compliance where we are ensuring as a tax administration that businesses are appropriately registered to pay the right amount of tax, they are filing this tax on time, and they are reporting the current amount of tax,” he said.
The comptroller encouraged and challenged tax administrators to “open up their minds and welcome the different principles that will be presented on the new approach to voluntary tax compliance built upon cooperation”, as they work to discuss available options to improve tax administrations within the CARICOM region.
COTA 24 is hosted by the St. Kitts and Nevis Inland Revenue Department. Among topics to be discussed are information exchange and the consequences of such, as well as effects upon the Federal Government and other CARICOM jurisdictions. | 2019-04-24T16:07:12 | http://www.timescaribbeanonline.com/businesses-responsibility-ensure-taxes-paid-time-says-comptroller-inland-revenue/ |
“If the intruder aircraft refuses to comply with radio commands (visual signals) for landing (exiting the airspace of the Russian Federation) or refusing to obey them without giving reasons and if there is a real threat of death or environmental disaster, weapons and combat equipment of duty forces are used against it to defeat,” the draft says.
The Russian military may be allowed to shoot down civilian aircrafts. They will receive such a right if a resolution is adopted, which draft is published on the website of the Russian government. The draft resolution says that if a passenger plane entered the airspace of Russia and does not respond to warning signals and warning fire, the military have the right to destroy it.
The draft resolution also specifies that in the absence of a real danger of death and (or) the onset of an environmental catastrophe, weapons and military equipment of duty forces are not used to kill. Who and how will determine the “fact of danger” is not clear.
Aleksey Melnik, the co-director of foreign policy and international security programs at the Ukrainian Centre for Economic and Political Studies named after Oleksandr Razumkov, believes that there is nothing criminal in the initiative itself. According to him, after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the military regard civilian aircrafts as a potential weapon in the hands of terrorists. But the expert emphasizes that nothing is bad about this resolution, if it was not Russia”.
In itself, this decision does not carry such a threat – the only threat is today’s aggressive behavior of Russia and its readiness to use force, a disproportionate force, – Melnik believes.
In 1983, near the Sakhalin Island, the Soviet SU-15 fighter shot down the South Korean Boeing 747, which had veered 500 kilometers off course. 246 passengers and 23 crew members died.
Russian military expert Pavel Fengelgauer called the government’s decree formal and defining only the “external framework” of how the military will act.
In his opinion, skirmishes are possible because of the “pre-war time”, the tension between Russia and the West is growing and has reached the level of the Cold War with local “proxy wars”.
Of course, there is nothing good in this, as the military is given carte blanche to act. The Soviet order is returning when civilian aircraft can be shot down … Now especially near Moscow or Sochi. If there is a threat to senior management.
Fengelgauer clarified that if the resolution is adopted, the non-public departmental order of the Minister of Defense containing more detailed instructions for the military, could be a further step.
Since the beginning of hostilities in the east of Ukraine, NATO fighter aircrafts have repeatedly intercepted Russian military aircrafts.
One of the recent incidents occurred over the Baltic Sea. In November 2018, two German Eurofighter jets on duty as part of the NATO mission flew three times from Emari airbase in Estonia to intercept four Russian military aircrafts. | 2019-04-25T20:06:40 | https://qha.com.ua/en/novosti-en/soviet-order-returning-when-civilian-aircraft-can-be-shot-down-especially-in-the-area-of-moscow-or-sochi-experts-on-why-the-russian-military-seeking-the-right-to-attack-passenger-airliners/ |

Endocrinology is the study of hormones, their signaling pathways, and the diseases associated with them. The endocrine system is one of two mechanisms in the human body that is responsible for regulating and integrating the function of cells, the other being the nervous system.
Peptides (such as the peptide hormones insulin, ghrelin and vasopressin).
Peptide hormones produced by secretory nervous tissue are known as neuropeptides.
A disease due to a disorder of the endocrine system is often called a "hormone imbalance" and is usually caused by hypo- or hyperfunction of an endocrine gland. Better known examples include Acromegaly, Cushing Syndrome, Diabetes, Dwarfism, Graves Disease, Hermaphroditism, Delayed and Precocious Puberty, and Thyroid Diseases. | 2019-04-22T20:08:41 | https://www.tocris.com/cn/research-area/endocrinology-research |

Sydney Wood found the winner in the second half, blasting a shot from outside the box to send Gulf Breeze into the region final.
The Gulf Breeze girls soccer team is heading back to a fourth consecutive region final.
The Dolphins (20-2-2) rallied to defeat Mosley at Tommy Oliver Stadium in Panama City. It’s the fourth consecutive season that Gulf Breeze has ended Mosley’s district-championship winning season in the region semifinal and the fifth straight year overall the teams have met in the second round.
Mosley (10-2-1) went ahead in the first half thanks to a Madi Flammia goal, but Gulf Breeze responded just before half as Aiyannah Robinson scored on the rebound of a Kristen Goodroe shot.
The Dolphins will host Ponte Vedra (15-4-2) on Tuesday at 7 p.m. for a spot in the state semifinal. The Sharks defeated Jacksonville Stanton (19-2-2) with a goal in double overtime.

A top speed of 37-plus knots is only part of the performance equation for the Riva Rivale 56.
A top speed of 37-plus knots is only part of the performance equation for the Riva Rivale 56. Handling helps set this boat apart.
Riva continues its quest to turn heads on the water with the 56 Rivale.
In the fall of 2017 Riva followed the unveiling of its beautiful Rivamare, the talk of the 2016 Cannes boat show, with the equally beautiful Rivale. As another alluring example of the shipyard’s classic, open-boat styling, this latest model from the legendary boatbuilder is no overgrown runabout, but a substantial craft that launches into the highly charged sector of sub-60-foot sport yachts. Although in length, beam, and horsepower, none of its obvious rivals can be set up as an exact match, there are plenty of valid comparisons to be made.
In response to that, of course, the many Riva aficionados who fondly remember the brand’s illustrious heritage as a style icon of the dolce vita era will murmur with a condescending smile that Riva doesn’t have any obvious rivals. It is a marque apart, each boat a validation of its owner’s taste and discernment.
To a remarkable extent, more than 20 years after the last mahogany Riva was launched (mahogany-faced plywood, in fact), this is still actually true. A modern Riva might be made of fiberglass, with standard naval architecture, fitted with the same internal components you find on other boats, and powered by engines that bear the badges of German and Swedish companies, but the boats nevertheless still have an aura about them.
The salon makes full use of the 56’s nearly 16-foot beam and the styling is classic Riva.
It is there in the detailing, in the bespoke stainless steel deck fittings and in the hand-stitched leather trim. It is there especially in the many coats of varnish that bring the woodgrain up to a mirror sheen, and in the hull’s lustrous paint job. Above all it is there in the look. All boats these days are designed from the inside out, because as customers we demand full-size beds, sensible headroom, big fridges, air-conditioning, and all the other luxuries. Rivas are no different in this respect; however tasteful and discerning you might be, onboard comfort is not negotiable. But while it does design from the inside out, more than other production boatyards, Riva thinks from the outside in. Few modern production boatbuilders place a higher premium on the look. A three-cabin boat, or two-plus-crew in standard form, the Rivale’s curved windscreen and open styling, uncompromised by any hardtop, harkens back to the marque’s influential early designs—although there is a very good bimini that unfolds electrically to shade the helm and forward seating, and another over the foredeck, if you tick that box on the options list.
The open look is deceptive, of course. This is a substantial vessel nearly 16 feet in the beam, and the midships master cabin makes full use of it with a double berth mounted athwartships and a spacious head and shower on the port side, both served by spectacular hull windows set into those sculpted topsides. The VIP suite feels less generous, but it still has the 6-foot 6-inch headroom and you shouldn’t get any complaints about the size of the bed. There is also en suite access to a roomy head with separate shower—this being a well-equipped yacht with a separate dayhead, handily placed amidships on the starboard side, convenient for the lower salon and its small galley area.
The port guest cabin we found on our test boat, which was the third off the production line, is an option: The Rivale’s standard layout sees this space occupied by a crew cabin, accessed down through the cockpit seating. In either incarnation, it’s a very small space. It may have 6 feet 6 inches of headroom and two 6-foot 3-inch bunk berths, but they’re only 23 inches wide and the floor area is so minimal that turning around requires a bit of planning. In this respect the Rivale is no worse than many rival boats of this style and size. The cabin is surprisingly well off for stowage, however, with four good drawers and a reasonable hanging locker, and many owners will probably find that they’re using it not as a cabin, but as a large and useful upholstered cupboard.
It is obviously right that this vestigial sleeping wardrobe for your least complaining guests is only suggested as an option, but instead of offering a crew cabin in its place, it might make more sense to many owners if the shipyard fitted out this space as a bespoke stowage compartment.
It is always a privilege to take a Riva through such a crowded and critical arena as the Cannes boat show, and be reminded of the powerful effect a beautiful boat can have on those who appreciate such things. People look up. Heads turn. It’s a bit like being a hypnotist.
Out at sea this alluring machine proved to have performance and poise to match its looks. With the larger of the two available engine options, twin 1,200-horsepower MAN V-8s, it was hardly going to feel short of power, although the engines themselves, squeezed into a modest compartment beneath the tender well and driving traditional shafts through V-drive transmissions, might be a little short of legroom. Willing in acceleration and responsive to the helm, the Rivale was a pleasure to drive, achieving a top speed of over 37 knots without apparent effort.
A moderate transom deadrise of 17.8 degrees is carried well forward and provides a generous lifting surface, the downside of that being a pretty hard ride while powering into a chop. Ours was a balmy day with a light breeze and no seas to speak of, but it was easy to create firm impacts across our own wake. The tall windscreen offers excellent protection from the breeze, but with its distortions in the curved corners and dark tint, it’s not great to look through, and for this 6-foot helmsman at least, neither is it easy to see over.
But these seem like trivial points to make about a boat this stunning. Actually being aboard and then driving the Rivale will only heighten your enjoyment. Coming back into the crowded Vieux Port at Cannes after a thoroughly exhilarating sea trial, greeted by the accustomed covert glances and frankly admiring stares, I half-expected a ripple of appreciative applause.
Riva has still got it, whatever it is—that indefinable, undeniable aura of being special. In this, at least, the Rivale has no rival.
TEST CONDITIONS: Air temperature: 68°F; humidity: 35%; seas: 2'; wind: 4-8 knots.
LOAD: 264 gal. fuel, 99 gal. water, 10 persons.
Speeds are two-way averages measured w/GPS. GPH taken via MAN display. Range is based on 90% of advertised fuel capacity.
NOTEWORTHY OPTIONS: Three-cabin layout; 1,200-hp engines; 17.5-kW generator; gyro stabilizer; “super tropical” air-conditioning; metallic hull paint; teak decks; underwater lights; bow bimini; 34-gph watermaker; electric curtains; electric stern thruster. | 2019-04-21T17:01:36 | https://www.powerandmotoryacht.com/boats/tested-riva-56-rivale |

Visual storytelling needs focused emotion. Color editing is the best way to set mood, build tension, and evoke an emotional response from your viewer. In Color Correction in Final Cut Pro X, Mark Spencer teaches you the fundamentals of light and color theory, how to analyze video problems through Final Cut Pro’s Videoscopes, and the steps for correcting exposure, saturation, and luminance.
Cameras capture color differently than the human eye. Color Correction balances your project’s color themes and fixes whites and blacks giving them the consistency and realism needed for the eye to see what it was meant to see. In the tutorial’s Color Correction section you will learn: Final Cut Pro’s automated Color Match and Exposure Match effects; using the the Vectorscope, RGB Parade, and Chroma channels to manually adjust shots that require greater finesse; and the use of more advanced techniques like masks and mattes to isolate your primary and secondary color correction techniques.
Color Grading takes your creativity further by altering and enhancing color using atmosphere, tone, and mood. Use the Vectorscope to analyze the hue and saturation of skin tones. Color grade a night look into your scene, highlight the actor’s face to focus attention, and use gradient filters and feathering to completely alter the skyline of your exterior shots. Crush blacks and push contrasts to new levels, or go with a bleach bypass effect for a vintage feel. Save your color grade effects with presets and keyboard shortcuts, then apply those custom effects across multiple clips. | 2019-04-21T00:54:41 | http://www.ql47.com/15707.html |

MUNCIH. As announced, Telefónica is launching its first smartphone with Firefox OS in Germany. For the first time, O2 customers can now use an innovative open operating system developed by a non-profit organization: the Mozilla Foundation. For this reason, we have taken a close look at the new ALCATEL ONETOUCH FIRE E, presenting an extensive video test by our O2 Gurus.
Firefox OS is the first mobile operating system to rely entirely on open web technology, combining security, customizability as well as attractive and user-friendly application. A vast, open community of developers from all over the world contributes to the design of the system, which puts users’ benefit first. The ALCATEL ONETOUCH FIRE E is the best and fastest smartphone so far to use the new operating system. It will be available in O2 shops from the beginning of August – with the pre-sale starting on July 17th on our website. New from O2: Firefox as a mobile operating system The ALCATEL ONETOUCH FIRE E is intended especially those users who enjoy trying out new things and are mindful in particular of the security of their personal data. “Firefox OS will compete with Apple’s operating system iOS, with Microsoft’s Windows Phone and Google’s Android system, which is currently in control of the market,” says the newspaper DIE WELT. “The new system was created by the developers of the internet browser Firefox, which is particularly popular in Germany for security reasons.” The driving force is the charitable Mozilla Foundation, which focuses in particular on protecting users’ private information according to the highest standards. Firefox OS provides the same extraordinarily high level of security, privacy, adaptability and user control as consumers are accustomed to from their Firefox web browsers.
The ALCATEL ONETOUCH FIRE E will be available at O2 for a one-off price of only 29 Euros if combined with the booking of a mobile tariff. The O2 Blue Select is a good choice and comes with a flat rate for calls within the German O2 mobile network, a flat rate for calls within a selectable network or 100 free minutes for all networks as well as a flat rate for text messages within all German networks. The plan even includes an internet flat rate with 300 Megabyte at full speed. What a hot deal!
In addition to its innovative operating system, the Alcatel Onetouch Fire E stands out for its unusual design. The cool metal look creates a sophisticated appearance with a great feel to it. Its 4.5-inch qHD display applies the same IPS technology as is used by the iPhone. This allows for ideal legibility and perceptibility even from the most extreme of angles. Inside it is driven by a dual-core processor with 1.2 Gigahertz for each core and 512 Megabyte working memory. “That might not sound like a lot,” explain our O2 Gurus. “However, you have to take into account that Firefox OS is extremely resource-saving.” The video shows clearly how all sites and images scroll smoothly and that apps open directly on command. Another advantage: With its undemanding hardware, the phone’s battery life is particularly long-lasting.
Of course, the operating system used is the latest version available: Firefox OS 1.3 comes with additional camera functions and an easier access to the phone’s music player. Its intelligent groupings arrange the apps installed for particularly clear categorization. An update to the latest version is also possible: Once Mozilla releases its Firefox OS 2.0 in a few months, the ALCATEL ONETOUCH FIRE E will also be updated.
What makes Firefox OS so special is that it is based entirely on open web technology. The whole phone works like a single browser and can yet be used as normal even without access to the internet. The user interface with notifications, shortcuts and settings looks just as before. There is no need to adapt to new processes and users will understand the new operating system within minutes. Firefox OS provides all those functions you would expect of a smartphone: phone calls, messaging, emails, camera, an integrated connection to Facebook and Twitter, location-based services such as Nokia HERE-maps, popular applications such as the Firefox web browser, Firefox Marketplace and many more. The great advantage: All apps are basically just little websites, which means they are always up to date. The end of time-consuming search for updates! So get clicking and pre-order the ALCATEL ONETOUCH FIRE E from O2! (Pre-sales online from July 17, 2014). | 2019-04-25T02:20:48 | https://www.telefonica.de/press/press-releases/news/5541/video-test-and-pre-sale-at-o2-alcatel-onetouch-fire-e-with-firefox-os.html |

Prediction of turbine-to-turbine interaction represents a significant challenge in determining the optimized power output from a tidal stream farm, and this is an active research area. This paper presents a detailed work which examines the influence of surrounding turbines on the performance of a base case (isolated turbine). The study was conducted using a new CFD based, Immersed Body Force (IBF) model, which was validated in the first paper, and an open source CFD software package OpenFOAM was used for the simulations. The influence of the surrounding turbines was investigated using randomly chosen initial lateral and longitudinal spacing among the turbines. The initial spacing was then varied to obtain four configurations to examine the relative effect that positioning can have on the performance of the base turbine. | 2019-04-21T00:36:11 | https://ore.exeter.ac.uk/repository/handle/10871/9844 |

The rechargeable power tool batteries offer you with convenience.
The device features self leveling cross lines, which projects bright crossing vertical and horizontal lines for different layout and leveling applications.
Dewalt DW088LG also features an incorporated magnetic bracket, which are magnets mounted on the rear part of the tool that allows flush attachment to steel and metal tracks.
The Dewalt green line laser level also has a full-time pulse mode that offers for use with a detector. IP65 water/debris resistance assist in preventing the internal components from being damaged.
These special features make Dewalt DW088LG one of the best green laser levels on the market.
Package included: Green Cross Line Laser, Charger, 12V Battery, Extended Ceiling Bracket, and Blow Mold Case.
The vital characteristic of this tool is its Green Beam Laser Technology that is four times brighter when compared to red beam laser. It offers brighter long range visibility for exterior and interior applications that enhancing accuracy while leveling.
The green laser projects bright crossing vertical and horizontal lines. The cross lines are very helpful for various layout and leveling applications.
With its full-time pulse mode, you will be provided with the ability to use the tool with a laser detector and maintain full brightness for extended range and visibility.
The integrated magnetic brackets provide for flush attachment to steel and metal brackets. The Dewalt DW088LG provides 5/8 inch and 1/4 inch support thread for rear mounted magnets for the flush attachment. With this kind of aid, you can handle your horizontal or vertical leveling activities with much ease.
The incorporated IP65 debris/water resistance and over-molded housing prevent the internal components from being damaged. This feature enhances its durability apart from easing its maintenance. Furthermore, the locking pendulum feature assists in preventing the internal parts from being damaged.
To strengthen its effectiveness while working, Dewalt DW088LG has a 12V lithium-ion power tool battery platform that is rechargeable for an extra-long run time. It is also very convenient while recharging the batteries.
A full-time pulse mode to be used with a detector.
The green beam laser technology makes the tool very expensive compared to a similar red beam laser.
The Dewalt DW088LG Green Laser can be used for multiple leveling and layout construction projects efficiently.
The best part of this line laser level is the fact that it’s self leveling. You will just need to put it where you need to carry out your layout or leveling activity and then perform the operation with just a press of a button.
Furthermore, if you want to use the green laser level for long-range leveling (over 100 feet), you should consider incorporating a laser detector.
When it comes to maintenance, the over-molded casing, a locking pendulum, and IP65 water and dust resistance feature, prevent the damaging of internal components.
The only maintenance that you will need is wiping the tool with a dampened cloth after using it. This act will enhance its durability. Other maintenance routines are in the included manual.
The Dewalt DW088LG 12V Green Cross Line Laser is one of the most powerful green beam laser levels on the market.
This Dewalt line laser not only offers you with long-range leveling accuracy but also a 4-times more visible green beam for enhanced layout precision.
When looking for a cross line laser level that will provide you with high leveling accuracy and efficiency, then this is the way to go.
The green beam laser technology means that you will add some additional cost compared to a similar red beam laser technology but it is worth making the extra investment in a top of the line model like the Dewalt DW088LG Laser Level. | 2019-04-25T09:03:26 | https://www.laserlevelhub.net/dewalt-dw088lg-green-laser-review/ |
On 21 November 2015, during ACCORD’s 2015 Africa Peace Awards celebration, I made a public call for the United Nations (UN) to convene the first-ever World Conference on Global Peace.
Over the past few months, our television screens and social media feeds have exposed us to the graphic nightmares currently plaguing humanity. Terrorism, violent uprisings and devastating conflicts now afflict several parts of the world, with no corner of our planet seemingly immune to these challenges or their consequences.
Conflicts throughout the world have multiplied in complexity and intensity. The traditional war paradigm of two nations fighting on a common border has become less relevant. Today, internal conflicts are more prevalent, especially with the expansion of uncontrollable and amorphous groups of radicalised and militant individuals. We also observe that nations use these conflicts to directly and indirectly compete for power and influence, and to pursue their own narrow agendas.
As evidenced by the current challenges in Syria and Iraq, Libya, Nigeria, Yemen and Ukraine, the devastating consequences of such violence will likely scar these societies for generations to come. Our global community can no longer afford to pursue exclusively military-oriented responses, nor can it remain indifferent to those situations that are beyond their immediate concerns.
With an exponentially growing population, unprecedented urbanisation, destabilising climate change, growing unemployment and expanding wealth inequality, our planet is in a race against time. While humanity is equipped with unprecedented technological advancements and incredible demographic opportunities to build a better future, we must channel the collective expertise of our global community to find sustainable and transformative pathways forward.
Collective political dialogue is the only genuine pathway to address these conflicts in a sustainable and holistic manner. Such dialogue must focus on strategies to resolve current crises, prevent future outbreaks and ensure that peace and prosperity take root sustainably. There is also an urgent need to promote critical reflection, earnest debate and mutual solidarity among all people. We must underpin these efforts by shepherding a collective shift from ‘national interest’ to ‘global responsibility’.
The UN has convened a number of world conferences on a wide range of important topics, from human rights and social development to climate change and disaster risk reduction. Bringing the entire international community under one forum to deliberate earnestly has contributed to tangible, landmark global commitments from governments, the private sector and non-state actors alike. However, to this day, there has not been a UN-sponsored world conference focusing explicitly on peace.
In two years’ time, on ACCORD’s 25th anniversary, we intend to assemble a multidisciplinary gathering of experts from around the world as a precursor to the proposed World Conference on Global Peace. By convening this gathering at the iNkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre in Durban, South Africa – aptly named after Africa’s first Nobel Peace Laureate – we will invoke the spirit of this great leader to guide our deliberations towards preparing for the world conference.
It is also our hope that South Africa, in collaboration with other African nations and under the auspices of the African Union, can propose to the UN General Assembly to host the first ever World Conference on Global Peace in 2019 in Durban – also in line with the 25th anniversary of South Africa’s democracy. Unanimous and collective opposition to apartheid, from Africa and beyond, was critical in supporting the emergence of a peaceful and democratic South Africa. We hope that the world will join us once more, in the spirit of this same collective unity and action, to chart a way forward for global peace. Now is the time! | 2019-04-25T22:30:40 | https://www.accord.org.za/conflict-trends/editorial-2015-4/ |

I am often asked whether or not there really is such a thing as a “balanced life”. The answer is “yes”! Keep in mind that everybody’s balance is a little different, but the essentials are the same.
Creating a balanced life is like creating a balanced meal. You have to have a little bit of a variety of different areas in your life to create balance. If you divide your life into different categories, you may come up with areas such as: family/relationships, work/school, finances, health/self-care, social/fun and spiritual/personal growth/education. When you have too much of one area (such as work) on your “plate”, there is limited space for other areas that you need. When you skip any area, just as with diet, you feel the difference and crave what you are missing.
When you realize what you are craving (such as fun), it’s time to put some of that area back into your life (or onto your plate). Look at the different areas of your life and notice which areas you “fill your plate” with and give yourself a smaller portion in that area. We may tend to look at things that we really enjoy as “dessert” so we deprive ourselves of the “treat” and force ourselves to take more of the “healthy” stuff.
We also need to look at our “plates” and see if there is anything that has “spoiled”. It may have “tasted good” in the past, but it’s been on the plate too long and has lost any flavor and nutrients. It’s time to dump it to create more room for other things that will fill you up and give you energy! Make a list of things that drain your energy at work and at home and decide whether or not you want to keep them on your plate, dump them, or delegate them to others.
Now look at your plate and notice which areas give you more energy and enhance your life. You want to take “extra helpings” of these! Once you dump some of the drains, you’ll have more room for the areas that give you back that balance and help you feel healthier and more content! Bon Appetit!

The Junior Whites matchday club is back for this Saturday's game against Wolves, where attendees will be given the chance of stepping foot in the groundsman's shoes and grow their own segment of Deepdale!
Using the same grass seed which is used for growing stadium pitches, Junior Whites will have the chance to design and grow their own pitch, as they look to emulate the wonder that is the Deepdale pitch.
The fun doesn’t stop there! After they’ve grown their own pitch, Junior Whites will then get baking with rice crispy cakes for heading up to the game to watch North End take on table toppers Wolves in the Sir Tom Finney Family Stand. | 2019-04-20T08:38:56 | https://www.pnefc.net/news/2018/february/join-the-junior-whites-for-the-wolves-game160218/ |
Lettuce Lunch began as a personal Instagram to chronicle our home-cooking adventures and has grown and developed into something much more – a platform that we can use to motivate healthy eating habits no matter where you find yourself. Come meet the people behind the lunches!
Carlton here! I make and photograph all the lunchboxes, which works out pretty well for me considering cooking and photography are two of my favourite things! I am a vegan who loves fresh poke bowls, hearty soups, split peas, lentils, and everything spicy.
I’m currently at university studying nutrition and hope to become a dietician. My hobbies include food styling, gardening, board games, and spoiling Amy – of course!
And here we have the beautiful Amy – the lucky girl herself! She is my inspiration and helps me keep coming up with interesting lunchbox ideas, as well as being the official Lettuce Lunch taste tester.
Amy is a vegan and loves animals, as well as having a keen eye for design, art, and music. She’s currently working in social media.
Since starting out last year we’ve had some incredible fun coming up with new ideas, as well as starting a garden to keep the pantry stocked, keeping on top of the latest lunch boxes, travelling around the world trying out regional flavours – we even made an appearance on children’s television in Australia teaching the little ones how to make some healthy (and adorable!) bento boxes.
Making good food doesn’t have to be a chore – in fact, we really like it, and we’re hoping we can inspire you too! So come join us as we explore some fun ways to make lunch the best meal of the day.

David Artell says that some of the first-team were given time to recover from some knocks and strains and that is why they didn’t feature at Altrincham. The likes of Shaun Miller, James Jones, George Ray and Lewis Reilly were all not involved after given time to recuperate.
Artell says that there is nothing too serious but admits he expected there to be some muscle tightness due to the increase in intensity and work load over the last 10 days.
David explained: “Not everyone was involved against Altrincham. Some of them needed a rest. It was just a precaution and you tend to get knocks and muscle strains at this stage of the pre-season.
“It happens and it is nothing too serious. They will get these little tweaks and knocks. They might roll their ankle over on the hard ground or their calves or hamstrings feel tighter than they did. It is to be expected because the work has got shorter and a lot sharper. | 2019-04-26T02:17:37 | https://www.crewealex.net/news/2018/july/players-were-rested-as-a-precaution/ |

DPReview have lots of information on today's new launches from Sony. The A77 and A65 both get extensive previews, but the NEX-7 only gets a news story. It turns out that despite this morning's launch no one from the media anywhere in the world, according to DPR, has received an actual production level NEX-7. Their story was based on time spent with a pre-production unit and interviews with Sony. Crucially the pre-production camera did not have the NEX-7 software loaded so the software controlled functions specific to the NEX-7 were not functioning.
I'm sure I'm not the only person that finds this somewhat strange. The NEX-7 was already going to have to shout to be heard above the clamour surrounding the A77 - production versions of which have been with the press for the last week - how much more so now when media and reviewers don't even have the camera in hand?
My current conclusion is that interesting as the camera looks on paper Sony have priced me out of the market - $1200 for the body alone is way beyond me and only a little less than the asking price for the A77. Add in the $1000 Zeiss 24 - the only lens at the moment that will do justice to those 24 MPs - and that's $2200. It will be interesting to see what price the promised 'G' standard zoom comes in at when it appears next year.
You say " Right now the NEX-7 is being offered body only or with the current 18-55 kit lens."
Well that answers a question I asked yesterday on an other thread; to encourage NEX owners to upgrade to what I must say 'looks' a bit of a monster with super spec: the option of Body only; is sensible as is done with most DSLR's otherwise they'd be a dearth of Kit lenes either lying around or for sale.
I noticed that it does have the articulated LCD as well as the viewfinder.
Regarding the rather strange marketing strategy that has been adopted by Sony for the NEX 7 seems to me to be get everybody's 'juices' flowing as they wait for the actual camera to become available...similar to the X100?
I've pre-ordered a NEX-7 even though I'm not sure I'm ready to pay $1200 for a body-only camera. But, I have till November to decided. This seems like an amazing camera, but I'm with you, Olli, it seems strange that Sony didn't give a working version out to anyone before release. We have the announcement, but other than that, we still don't know much more today about this camera than we did yesterday.
I am sure I have seen somewhere on at least one website mention of distortion compensation etc but am darned if I can find it now; does the NEX-7 have inbuilt software that corrects for such distortions and abberations? This would be invaluable on the wider angle 3rd party lenses which tend to suffer from the dreaded 'red shift'.
It does. You'll find a summary under 'Lens Correction' in the Imaging Resources preview. | 2019-04-24T00:24:34 | https://www.talkemount.com/threads/its-here-sort-of.164/ |

16/04/2017 · Instead of hitting the streets to buy a four-plex or apartment building to rent out, we’re going to purchase a recession-proof real estate income stream straight from your online brokerage account.
This course is for English speaking people who want to buy a property in Mexico, but have no clue about real estate laws and regulations that apply. A lot of properties in Mexico are being sold by owner. This course will give you a great start if you want to deal directly with owners to purchase real estate.
The following are seven strategies that can help you buy real estate without spending any of your own money. Use Hard Money – hard money lenders are private individuals who loan on property based primarily on the value of the property (read my post on Hard Money Lenders here ). | 2019-04-21T07:01:41 | http://threadsofyunnan.com/tasmania/how-to-buy-real-estate-without-a-job.php |
Every country seems to have a North-South divide. In Britain the divisions are perceptible and deeply felt. Health and wealth fall off sharply once you cross an oblique line of separation mid country. Italy is another exemplar of North-South divisions. Garibaldi has a lot to answer for. Now Ken, as Kenya Kura modestly and helpfully calls himself when speaking to Western audiences, has had a look at his home country of Japan.
Ken begins on a typically bold note: Those who have adapted to the harsh northern climate worldwide are taller, more intelligent, more pro-social, less crime prone, and exhibit less fertility. This is said to be due to the more cognitively demanding long winter season (Lynn, 2006 and Lynn, 2008). In a similar and more speculative vein, the differential r/K theory (Rushton, 1988 and Rushton, 1994) predicts that a more demanding cold climate has induced more intelligent and pro-social personality in general.
Regional differences in IQ are estimated for 47 prefectures of Japan. IQ scores obtained from official achievement tests show a gradient from north to south. Latitudes correlate with height, IQ, and skin color at r = 0.70, 0.44, 0.47, respectively. IQ also correlates with height (0.52), skin color (0.42), income (0.51) after correction, less homicide rate (− 0.60), and less divorce (− 0.69) but not with fertility infant mortali'ty. The lower IQ in southern Japanese islands could be attributable to warmer climates with less cognitive demand for more than fifteen hundred years.
He then tests this out on the prefectures of Japan.The prefectural IQs have been calculated from the national achievement survey uniformly conducted by the government with 11 and 14 year old students. Students at these ages are in their last year of compulsory elementary and junior high school, respectively, in Japan.
The analysis utilized the simplest index of prefectural IQs, the sum of the math subtest scores and verbal subtest scores for those five years (full score = 482, average = 323.5, standard deviation = 102.9). These scores were obtained from more than 4 million students, which account for more than 3% of the whole population.
Latitude is correlated with IQ (r = 0.44) and height (r = 0.70). From many collected IQ measurements, the Japanese average IQ has been estimated to be 104, which is slightly lower than the Chinese and Korean averages (Lynn & Vanhanen, 2006; Lynn, 2008,Lynn and Meisenberg, 2010 and Lynn and Vanhanen, 2012). Assuming that the Japanese population has a standard deviation of 15 as in England, north–south IQ difference is estimated to be 11 points, with the prefecture with the highest IQ prefecture (Akita) having 107 while the one with the lowest (Okinawa) having 96. This is surprising in that it challenges the much-touted homogeneity of Japanese people.
Many people worldwide seem to have an image of Japan as a highly homogeneous nation. However, the Japanese islands were initially populated by the hunter–gatherer Jomon people (Y haplogroup C1, C3 & D1) and experienced a great deal of immigration from the Korean peninsula and mainland China from 2900 to 1500 years ago. These incoming Yayoi people (Y haplogroup O2b from Korea and O3 from China) brought wet-rice agriculture and bronze and iron tools to the islands. Because of these cultural advancements, they had shown much more fecundity and have in number dominated the native Jomon people. There still exists a genetic cline from the Western Yayoi population in the Eastern Jomon population in Japan (Hammer et al., 2006). Haplogroups, C1, C3 and D2 are most common among the Ainu people in the northmost Japan (almost 100%) and in the Okinawans in southmost Japan (about 60%),while the western regions closer to the Korean peninsula are more densely populated by Yayoi descendant haplogroup of O2b and O3 (60–70%).
Since the continental Northeast Asians (Han Chinese and Korean) have a higher intelligence compared to the rest of the Eurasian population, it would be natural to assume that these Yayoi people were more intelligent. This conjecture is based on the facts: 1. The fossil evidence shows that the Yayoi people were 5–8 cm (2–3 in.) taller than the Jomon; 2. Modern-day Koreans are about 3 cm (1.2 in.) taller than the Japanese; 3. The IQs of Chinese and Korean people have continuously outscored that of Japanese people (estimated to be 106 and 105, respectively). Hence, it is reasonable to expect that the prefectures closer to the continent exhibit higher intelligence than those in the Northeast.
However, this tendency was not observed and instead there exists a simple intelligence gradient from south to north. This may be due to an almost perfect admixture within the last 1500 year (about more than 60 generations) as far as genes for taller stature and higher intelligence are concerned, as well as the selective pressures of the last 1500 years of civilization, which have been strong enough to reshape the original east–west IQ gradient into the current north–south cline. This conclusion would be in line with the Hawks, Wang, Cochran, Harpending, and Moyzis (2007)idea of ever-accelerating human evolution. They insist that more and more beneficial mutations swept populations, after the advent of agricultural civilizations with metallurgy, letters and complex hierarchical organizations. The Japanese north–south gradient in height and intelligence can be evidence that modern humans have evolved to higher intelligence within the last two millennia.
In brief, it appears that if humans (or at least the Japanese ones) are cooled down a bit, and the imprudent ones killed off by hard winters, then the survivors are brighter, milder, lighter-skinned and more suicide prone, more socially-conscious and law abiding, divorce less often and have fewer children. Can such Northerners survive the global battle of the cradle, or will they be marginalised and driven further north, to die in the frozen wastes?
Akita prefecture has a reputation for the most beautiful women in Japan. Satoshi Kanazawa has published research on the link between beauty and IQ.
"Satoshi Kanazawa has published research on the link between beauty and IQ."
Better study has found no such link.
But to the extent that IQ is a reflection of lower mutation load, which Charlton and Woodley feel is well established, one would think that there must be some small correlation between IQ and perceived beauty, since more symmetrical people are generally regarded as more handsome.
There are far many more genes involved in IQ than facial appearance, so it's not too surprising they are uncorrelated.
And Charlton and Woodley, really?
Increasing mutation load must disrupt symmetry to some degree.
"Every country seems to have a North-South divide. In Britain the divisions are perceptible and deeply felt."
"The Japanese north–south gradient in height and intelligence can be evidence that modern humans have evolved to higher intelligence within the last two millennia."
Based on nothing but casual observation, Japanese women seem prettier and more feminine than Chinese and Korean women. Maybe this is simply a function of observing their representation in their respective pop cultures (we get a lot more of Japanese pop culture).
I assume the British cline described is more intelligent, taller, etc. in the north not the other way around. Could this be a result of Scandinavian ancestry?
It's higher IQ in the south in Britain.
Interesting. I wonder if brain drain, people heading south to the more populous areas like London could account for this. It would be interesting if a study could be done testing individuals whose ancestors have lived locally for a long time.
Also, since Britain has a maritime climate, I wonder if there's a great deal of north-south temperature difference.
Why then does temperature predict IQ in just the 50 U.S. states, where evolution cannot be the explanation?
Because low temperatures occur near the Canadian border?
Because people from northern climes in Europe emigrated to colder parts of the US, very noticeably in the upper midwest.
Hokkaido island have the most smartest of the japaneses??
Akita province is in the north but not in the extreme north of Japan archipelago.
Shikoku island seems to be one of the worst regions of Japan.
Akita have just 1 million of inhabitants. Is expected that ''cognitive elites'' be attracted by greater cities like Tokyo. Shikoku have 4 million people and Okinawa, 1 million people. Is interesting analyse the migrations historical patterns to know if most people of certain area are ancient natives or not.
How many people lived in Akita before 1945??
The fact that both Akita as Okinawa, presenting small populations, it may be important not we not use their scores in school tests as relevant averages to estimate the average intelligence, from these parameters, in Japan.
Are there any particular regions of Japan notably high in their production of eminent scientists and/or artists?
Also interesting that Tokyo seems to have a fairly unremarkable IQ. One would think that several centuries of it serving as Japan's economic center of gravity would have created a cognitive clustering effect there but evidently it has not.
Cities tend to be population sinks.
On the whole, though, I wonder how much this study controlled for the effects of internal migration.
Shanghai and Beijing are 1/2 S.D. above the Chinese average.
Moscow is 2/3 S.D. above the Russian average.
It doesn't seem to be an atypical pattern. I wonder why Japan would be an exception.
A cognitive clustering effect might be stronger in societies where large population centers are relatively harder to get into, due to a closed off elite culture, geography, high cost, ect. This would be amplified in poorer countries because there is more incentive for smart people to move to cities. This may be the case with China. Countries with highly mobile populations, and where cities are easier to move to (e.g. USA, parts of Europe), would probably have a smaller difference in cognitive ability between rural and urban populations. I would imagine it is the greater incentives and high barriers to traveling that drive cognitive clustering. Japan has had relatively high mobility over the last few hundred years, and the big cities are not as hard to move to.
The quality of living is probably another factor. The gap in living standards between rural and urban areas is likely smaller in Japan than it is in poorer countries. Thus there is less incentive for smart people to travel to Tokyo. I wonder if we would see a similar situation in Korea and Taiwan.
The IQs of Chinese and Korean people have continuously outscored that of Japanese people (estimated to be 106 and 105, respectively).
Has this really been consistent? 1 point is not all that much and the IQs of Chinese in places like Taiwan and Hong Kong could be elevated due to having elites who fled communism. | 2019-04-19T03:32:35 | http://drjamesthompson.blogspot.com/2015/09/north-south-divide-japanese-style.html |
It’s a long march to San Leandro.
The Chinese government is adopting a policy that’s been urged here in the U.S. Starting in April, Beijing will require new homes that are built within reach of an Internet backbone to be connected directly by fiber.
It’s one of the policies we looked at when we did an economic development-related study for the City of San Leandro. That particular study was focused on improving commercial and industrial broadband availability, but we looked at the same basic policy question: should broadband be treated like any other essential utility, and be subject to the same sort of minimum requirements when new construction or major remodeling is done?
The answer was an emphatic yes.
Broadband facilities and service availability should be included as criteria when reviewing private sector development plans, much in the same way that the City currently considers electrical and water provisioning.
Standards or requirements for fiber connections to existing networks.
Placement of empty conduit to support future network connections.
Design and scale of telecommunication service entry points, vaults and closets.
Access opportunities for competitive providers.
Conduits and cabling for internal networks.
Accommodation of future internal and external upgrades.
Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) systems can be very expensive to build, often prohibitively so, when existing homes are involved. But putting in the primary infrastructure adds little or anything to the cost of a new home. Most of the expensive is involved with installing conduit, which has to go in anyway. Adding fiber to the mix doesn’t affect the cost much. With copper prices continuing to rise, it could even save money.
The goal for China is 40 million fiber connected homes by 2015. If we did that here in the U.S., more than one household out of three would have a fiber connection. A third of the country. It’s much smaller fraction in China – about ten percent – but no less impressive. | 2019-04-21T13:03:05 | https://www.tellusventure.com/blog/china-takes-a-simple-rational-step-towards-ftth/ |
We have finally found a rhythm that works for us for the middle school years. Hands, Heart, Head!
We have school Monday through Friday, with Wednesday as a 1/2 day. In the morning, it is breakfast and then we have independent work time from 9 am to noon. Yep! The girls get to choose what they want to work on and they work on it solo. They are required to be organized and record their work... so it's not a complete free for all. But this allows me to get the laundry started, since we use cloth diapers, and to spend time with my husband who doesn't leave for work until 12:30 pm. It also lets me review my lesson planning and do any final prep that's needed. I can also have breakfast and a shower and get dressed, instead of teaching school in my pajamas because I ran out of time.
At noon we have lunch together and they show me their plan books and fill me in on their choices. Some common choices are handwork (knitting, embroidery, sewing doll clothes, etc.), art (watercolor pencils are very trendy right now), cooking (yesterday Natalie made wonderful Blackberry-Oat Bran Muffins), playing outside and/or taking a nature walk, and reading a chapter book for pleasure. Every day the girls change the water in the bird bath, check the weather and temperature and note it on our kitchen calendar and color in the day's leaf on the weather tree from All Year Round, water the houseplants, check on the hydroponics system in the garage, and water any seedlings we are starting under the grow lights.
If a girl hasn't finished something from the previous day, she can also use that morning as a make up work time. After lunch and dishes, we have teacher-directed school time from 1 pm to 4 pm, or so. The afternoon flows smoothly because they've had time to pursue their own interests unfettered and they are less resistant to my direction. We have our weekly poem, math practice, morning pages (creative writing time or a language lesson) and the main lesson. Depending on the day, we do Latin, form drawing, modeling or painting or drawing, and so on. It actually works out that we end up with Hands, then Heart, then Head!
Starting this week we are having Wednesdays as a half day. We are cleaning the house with our morning time. This is because I always seemed to wake up Thursday morning and the house which I spent all of Saturday & Sunday cleaning is back to being completely trashed. There's something special about Wednesdays that has to do with momentum... and I've been on the losing end of that momentum. I'm not sure what it is, but it sure felt like on Thursdays I was taking a walk of shame through my house, looking around in bewilderment and disbelief. We clean the rabbit bedding, wipe down the bathrooms, tidy up all the common areas, and the girls clean their bedrooms. I tackle the clutter I have created by spending all my time teaching or being with the children and ignoring my housework.
Today, of course, is a snow day here in Southern Illinois. Becca is home from school and my husband had to get up at 5:40 am to call in and see if he was required to come to work early. Which he was. We have a "Latin" activity which is watching the movie Gone with the Wind (yes, bellum is one of our vocabulary words this week; thus "antebellum" is the slender connecting thread between the Latin lesson and the film). Natalie and Leah actually needed a review of U.S. History between the colonial times and the Civil War and so I found something useful in the weekly freebies from Teachers Pay Teachers. It was a perfect fit. Guided Notes for Interactive Lecture - Review of U.S. History to the Civil War. It was a little lecture-y and fill-in-the-blank-y but it was so worthwhile. Some of the blanks the girls already knew and some they didn't. And thinking of Abraham Lincoln as a presidential candidate was completely a shock to them. It was definitely worth spending 30-45 minutes on to turn this from a movie into a history lesson... and I have to say that the lesson actually did help them quite a bit with understanding the events. Becca is too young for this movie so she didn't watch it.
I'm working on reconciling the "Natalie is going to public high school next year and the kids should have some standardized work" with the part of me that wants to just Waldorf it up all day long. I get the weekly email from TpT and try to incorporate one or two things that are well written. I'll share the ones I like. Not all of the lesson plans are, so caveat emptor. I am comfortable with a weekly independent Science experiment, another morning work time option, which I let them just attempt, observe, and form questions about. I don't make it a formal lesson. We did do the Identifying Variables Practice lesson together which was excellent. The 3 Hole Bottle Inquiry Experiment was last week's independent science. This week's will be the Density of a Candy Bar Lab. I had my husband bring me some Hershey miniatures from work for this but you can only do it with homogenous candy bars so I got to eat the ones with Krispies in them right off the bat. Isn't school great???
One last thought: Happily, this plan will continue to work for us as Zac gets older. Right now he is seven months old so he naps pretty frequently and isn't on a schedule. But when he gets older we can get him into a steady 1 pm - 4 pm afternoon nap time. This allows the girls to have predicability and consistency, knowing when I will be available to work on school with them. When he is toddling and in preschool I can do lots of fun activities in the morning with him and still do the more academic work with the older children in the afternoon while he rests.
This morning independence is a bit of a Montessori influence, to be honest. But it does work really well for this age group! If you want to see more pictures of our plan books I am happy to share. Just let me know.

2012 was a difficult year for IG-Sigma Sport. The good feeling which stemmed from IG Markets coming on board as a title sponsor soon waned, directeur sportif Matt Stephens left in April and illness and injury stacked up at the expense of results.
Unsurprisingly, sweeping changes have been made for 2013, with new management taking charge and only four riders remaining from last season. New DS Simon Howes has over 30 years’ experience in the sport and will be assisted by former professional Dan Lloyd.
The roster looks remarkably coherent given its much-changed nature as the team attempts to remove the ‘plucky triers’ label which still surrounds them.
New signings Ross Edgar – silver medallist in the 2008 Olympic keirin – and former British Cycling Olympic Development Programme rider Chris Whorrall should give the team some additional bite come the Tour Series.
A prolific winner of time trials in the junior category, Ryan Mullen was reportedly a target for Rapha-Condor-JLT, while Pete Williams (one of three riders to join from Node4-Giordana) won the sprints competition at last year’s Tour of Britain.
Everybody likes a wildcard, so here’s CW’s tip: Pete Hawkins. After all, the Irishman finished fourth overall in last year’s Premier Calendar.
IG has a big vision for the team, and it appears that they now have everything in place to make the disappointment of last year but a distant memory. They are yet to win a Tour Series round, and their last Premier Calendar race victory came in March 2010. Rectifying at least one of these will mark a significant improvement over 2012.
Not content with being one of Britain’s best cycling teams, IG-Sigma Sport’s riders are rather handy off their bikes too. Andrew Griffiths – studying plumbing at college. Pete Hawkins – played the drums on Irish singer’s Jason Clarke album. Maths degree at Newcastle University. James Moss BSc (Hons) MRICS – degree in estate management, qualified chartered surveyor. Wouter Sybrandy – former city worker, and even worked for IG Markets for a short time four years ago. Chris Whorrall – DJ. Dan Lloyd – rider turned presenter/reporter. | 2019-04-22T05:59:45 | https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/ig-sigma-sport-32204 |

This OPTOMA TX665UTi-3D Projector Lamp is a genuine OEM part.
By far the majority projector lamps purchased are Lamps from the Original Equipment Manufacturer as these dominate the market. Sony, Epson and Panasonic are OEM examples, they manufacture the projector and design the lamp that goes into it, they then supply the replacement part.
Performance – 100%. If you’re buying an OEM lamp, expect it to perform the same as the lamp originally in the projector, in fact it will very possibly look better as your used lamp may have started to dim with age.
Projector warranty - unaffected As it’s the manufacturer recommended spare part the warranty on the projector is fully supported, though in the majority of cases that warranty has expired by the time a lamp is needed. | 2019-04-23T14:11:30 | https://www.aandcaudio.co.uk/optoma-tx665uti-3d-projector-lamp-p268498 |

With Election Day just a week away, there remain millions of citizens across the U.S. who are ineligible to vote.
Among them? Florida residents with felony records.
But a measure will appear on this year’s ballot that could re-enfranchise as many as 1.4 million people in Florida with such records. Along with Iowa and Kentucky, Florida is one of just three states across the country that bars anyone who has committed a felony from voting.
Amendment 4 would restore voting rights to those with a felony conviction who have completed their sentences, including parole and probation. This does not include those who have been convicted of murder or sexual assault. The measure needs at least 60% of the vote in order to pass.
Should the bill pass, it could mark “the largest expansion of voting rights since the 26th Amendment,” according to The Wall Street Journal, (The amendment lowered the voting age to 18.) The Sentencing Project estimates that as of 2016, more than 6 million people have lost their right to vote due to “felony disenfranchisement.” Of these, approximately 1.4 million people live in Florida—more than in any other state.
Under former Governors Jeb Bush and Charlie Crist, who served from 1999 to 2007 and 2007 to 2011, respectively, clemency laws were loosened in Florida, making it easier for those who had been convicted of a felony to regain their voting rights. During Bush’s eight years in office and Crist’s four, they restored voting rights to 75,000 and 150,000 people respectively.
When Gov. Rick Scott took office in 2011, however, he amended the laws once again, making the process for rights restoration more complex. As such, applications to restore rights have dropped by close to 95%, according to the Sentencing Project’s estimates, and only 3,000 people have had their rights restored in the last seven years. Thousands of other applications remain pending.
While Florida’s law already represents one of the strictest in its treatment of convicted felons, there’s another major reason supporters are advocating for Amendment 4’s passage. The law disproportionately affects African-Americans, according to Amendment 4’s supporters—a claim that appears to be substantiated by the Sentencing Project’s data. More than 1 in 5 African-Americans in Florida can’t vote because of a felony conviction according to the organization’s estimates. | 2019-04-19T09:13:38 | http://fortune.com/2018/10/30/florida-amendment-4-voting-rights-felons/ |

Determined loner Katri Kling lives in a tiny attic flat in a remote Nordic hamlet with Mats, her simple-minded younger brother. Mostly because of her unfriendly nature, the locals don’t want much to do with Katri but they do go to her when they have financial problems they need advice on. With her uncompromising attitude and her head for figures, Katri knows just how to advise people on getting the best deal. One day Katri makes a decision: she and Mats are going to live in “the rabbit house”, a striking property a short distance from the hamlet. There is one stumbling block, however: the house is occupied by Anna, a successful middle-aged illustrator of children’s books. Like Katri Anna is something of a loner but she is sociable when she wants or needs to be; whereas Katri is cold and hard, Anna is warm and sentimental.
Katri sets of on a path of deceit in order to get herself and Mats into the rabbit house. Once there, she finds unanswered correspondence relating to Anna’s financial affairs that show that publishers and merchandisers having been cheating Anna for a long time. Katri persuades Anna to let her take charge of her affairs and get more money for her. As the pair embark on a battle of wills – sentiment against ambition – they each learn that they other is not what they initially thought. Who is the “True Deceiver” of the book’s title?
“True Deceiver” is not, strictly speaking, a thriller but it does have a strong element of suspense and mystery. The scope of the action is limited and really very little happens but I found myself drawn in right from the beginning and I read the book (which admittedly is fairly short) in almost one sitting. I had my own thoughts about the characters and the situation and the characters’ mutual mistrust of each other only serves to increase the tension.
The real beauty of “True Deceiver” is in the sparse, economic style of writing which manages to convey a multi-layered story along with painting a vibrant portrait of each of the main characters so that within just a few pages you know the characters well and your mind is teeming with ideas as to what might happen. The writing style is cleverly (and inextricably) linked with other aspects of the novel such as the setting – not just the location but the time of year – and the whole cast of characters.
The events of the story take place in the depths of winter as the hamlet is almost entirely cut off. One villager skis to the nearest town to pick up supplies which are distributed through the village shop. There is, however, a sense that even when spring comes, this tiny collection of houses will be no less isolated. The people who live there know each other but there is no feeling of community that one might expect from a rural village. It isn’t specified where exactly the setting is, it could be any tiny place in Nordic Europe, but there is generally a strong feeling of Scandinavia arising from the simple lifestyles of the characters and the interiors of the houses, and the quiet nature of the characters. It reminded me a lot of the film “Kitchen Stories” set in 1950s rural Norway.
The fact that the story takes place in winter only reinforces the stark atmosphere that is created by the sparse style of writing and seems to add another layer of crisp white. There are few incidental details, mostly the reader only learns what is essential to the story though that is not to say that writing is not evocative; I felt completely carried away to a tiny community in a chilly Scandinavian winter. What is really very striking is that the author uses the same skill of economy to convey both a sense of almost nothing – such as the snowy landscape – and to paint colourful portraits of complex characters.
The additional characters reinforce the idea of isolation and mystery. They are all single people a fact which adds to the idea of a fragmented little society in which nobody really trusts anyone and any relationships are really just for material benefit. People are outwardly polite and co-operative but you get the feeling that they are happiest doing their own thing. Only Liljeberg the local boat-builder shows any compassion, allowing Mats to help out with odd jobs in the boatyard but the arrangement is very casual with Mats often turning up when the yard is closed and quietly getting on with jobs through the cold night.
The author of “True Deceiver” is Tove Jansson. Best known for creating the much loved characters for children, the Moomins, Jansson did not begin writing fiction for adults until she was in her sixties. If you choose to, you can find parallels between Anna and Tove, who herself sometimes found the balance between her artistic integrity and business difficult to manage. Her writing here is wonderful but we shouldn’t forget that this is a translated work. The translator, Thomas Teal, deserves special praise for his work; the words run beautifully and capture the essence of backwater Scandinavia, the frosted window panes and the cold, crisp air of wintry meadows.
“True Deceiver” is an engrossing and utterly charming read. I have not experienced such a rewarding read for some considerable time.

1:10 PM PT -- Miley's rep tells TMZ, "This claim is completely false and erroneous."
Miley Cyrus is a suspect in a criminal battery TMZ has learned ... allegedly committed Saturday night inside a Hollywood nightclub/theater.
The alleged victim filed a police report early Sunday morning with the LAPD ... claiming he and his friends were sitting behind Miley and her fiance Liam Hemsworth at Beacher's Madhouse at the Roosevelt Hotel when things got rowdy.
The alleged victim claims he and his friends accidentally bumped into Liam's chair and the two camps exchanged words ... an argument that quickly escalated.
The alleged victim claims Liam got in his face and Miley jumped in the middle to break it up -- but not before pushing him away and striking him in the face. There were no visible injuries.
A witness tells TMZ ... he saw the argument but Miley never threw a punch.
Calls to Liam's camp were not returned. | 2019-04-24T08:35:47 | https://www.tmz.com/2012/09/10/miley-cyrus-nightclub-fight-brawl-criminal-battery-suspect/ |

Is a woman's pregnancy at risk if she gets infected with West Nile virus?
Is a woman’s pregnancy at risk if she gets infected with West Nile virus?
There is one documented case of transplacental (mother-to-child) transmission of WNV in a human. Although the newborn in this case was infected with WNV at birth and had severe medical problems, it is unknown whether the WNV infection itself caused these problems or whether they were coincidental. More research will be needed to improve our understanding of the relationship – if any – between WNV infection and adverse birth outcomes.
Nevertheless, pregnant women should take precautions to reduce their risk for WNV and other arboviral infections by avoiding mosquitoes, using protective clothing, and using repellents containing DEET (see Insect Repellent). When WNV transmission is occurring in an area, pregnant women who become ill should see their health care provider, and those whose illness is consistent with acute West Nile virus infection, should undergo appropriate diagnostic testing. | 2019-04-20T08:57:51 | https://www.southernnevadahealthdistrict.org/faq-items/is-a-womans-pregnancy-at-risk-if-she-gets-infected-with-west-nile-virus/ |

The Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) states that a business must obtain consent from an individual to gather, use, or distribute personal data relating to them. The consent must indicate a purpose for which the information will be used and the data may not be used for any purpose other than what was originally indicated. The purpose must also be considered reasonable given the circumstances. An individual may choose to exercise their right to see what data is held about them by an organization and resolve any inaccuracies that may be identified.
The Privacy Commissioner of Canada is responsible for ensuring that the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) is respected. If there are any transgressions, the Commissioner takes the required action to resolve it. | 2019-04-19T08:52:39 | https://www.workplacetesting.com/definition/718/personal-information-protection-and-electronic-documents-act-pipeda |
Contiki has launched its European campaign, ‘Manny does Contiki’, featuring their hottest new star, Manny the mannequin.
Manny will influence many channels (social, cinema, digital) but his first appearance is in a hero video.
Made with agency Common Ventures, the strategy for the campaign was threefold.
The first was to breathe new life in the core brand proposition to Travel with No Regrets, secondly to show the difference travelling with Contiki can have on someone.
And finally, sell the Contiki Europe experience which is the social connection and moments between all the big sites that stick with you forever.
The hero video opens with a mannequin who is stuck in a dead-end job modelling drab clothes in a daggy, old store. Sick of waiting around, Manny takes the plunge and leaves his job and to head to Europe with Contiki.
Manny motorboats Italian gelato, hits on a Greek goddess and paraglides through the Austrian Alps.
The video ends with Manny watching the sunset with his new mates.
His arms covered with the numbers and names of all the new friends he has made along the way.
The campaign shows how Contiki goes beyond the preconceived, expected experiences of touring in Europe.
“Simply following a young traveller enjoying Europe wouldn’t work.
Common Ventures ECD Brian Merrifield said: “We have an incredibly tight-knit team, so we’re well placed to move quickly and execute a multi-country shoot with a low-impact crew.
Manny was approached for comment, but declined due to lack of vocal chords. | 2019-04-21T10:47:41 | http://www.bandt.com.au/campaigns/meet-manny-new-star-contikis-latest-european-campaign |

Because the Aspergers child tends to internalize how others treat him, rejection damages self-esteem and often causes anxiety and depression. A teacher may also brighten the spotlight on a child's flaws, which are common at a particular age.
College Concerns Concerns about college are unfounded. Therefore, labeling special education students can serve to make sure the student is receiving proper services so his or her needs are met. It is crucial to understand that to get these accommodations in college your child must be able to show a history of the learning difference. One such way is in annual child find notices published by school districts. May lower expectations placed on them 3. Advantages of Disability Labeling There are several advantages to labeling children's disabilities.
. Disabled children are not getting the attention that is needed in the mainstream. Labeling has led to the development of specialized teaching methods, assessment approaches, and behavioral interventions that are useful for teachers of all students. By expending the range of ability levels, teachers are required to direct inordinate attention to only a few students, decreasing the amount of time and energy with the rest of the class. Because of the ever changing world. Classroom teachers do not always have the necessary resources, training or support system in place to teach children with disabilities. Depending upon the type learning, physical, mental and severity of the disability, mainstreaming holds certain advantages and disadvantages for students and educators alike.
Pros of Mainstreaming When considering the advantages of incorporating students with disabilities into the regular classroom, one must keep in mind all parties affected. An Individual Decision Weighing out the pros and cons of mainstreaming students with disabilities really comes down to an individual decision. If you want to make your own labels to be printed on the product then follow the given below tips- Decide size- the first step to design a label is to determine the size of the label. Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website! Labels tend to obscure the essence of teaching and leaning as a two-way street. In addition, students labeled as learning support may fall victim to the self fulfilling prophecy and suffer from lower levels of self esteem Heward, 2003.
Lesson Summary Labeling is a term associated with placing a student into special education and assigning an eligibility category. Labeling can spark social concern and aid advocacy efforts. It is always important to remember that no person is a diagnosis, and that no diagnosis is the person. This can cause trouble with making friends and can cause bullying as well. Stereotyping can be a real problem for school aged children with disabilities. Labeling makes it easier for legislators to understand the need for laws protecting the rights of individuals with disabilities.
Labeling can spark social concern and aid advocacy effects. Labels reflect categories of disabilities. As the child feels worse about himself and becomes more anxious and depressed — he performs worse, socially and intellectually. The cost of training those teachers who would be in charge of mainstreamed students with the disability then falls upon the school system. In many cases, this is unjustified because students may be mislabeled or teachers many not fully understand the many different cases for learning disability. Parents, in their role as advocates for their children, play a particularly important role in helping to insure that negative expectations do not come to dominate a child's educational planning.
Parents can also refer their child for an assessment of need through the Health Service Executive. This entry was posted on Wednesday, October 15th, 2014 at 4:28 am and is filed under and tagged as. Labeling may make the majority without disabilities more tolerant of the minority with disabilities. In a similar way, we often label persons with disabilities. Although there are some negative affects of labeling, like stereotyping, the positive effects outweigh the negative and labeling is more helpful than harmful. Students are subject to negative labeling.
Educators will tell you that all children are treated equally, but that rarely seems to be the case, especially when it comes to the peers of these children. About This Page: Ultimately, there are many pros and cons to using a label in special education. Educational evaluation is filled with quirks. Federal and state aid for special education programs is often tied to a formal diagnosis or assessment of a student's special needs. The students may feel that since they are labeled they just cannot do well or that they are stupid. This is stereotyping and it harms children when a teacher rationalize low achievement by citing characteristics of the label. Many parents are also concerned that if their child receives a diagnosis that their child may be treated differently or be bullied because they have a label. | 2019-04-20T19:10:06 | http://www.mythingsapp.com/advantages-of-labeling-students-with-disabilities.html |
How to find an acne medicine?
If you have acne, you probably fight a battle: how to find good acne medicines? It is common opinion: as if fighting acne wasn't hard enough, finding a proper acne medicine is another battle itself.
With all the options available on the market - both over-the-counter and prescribed - choosing a good medicine can be very difficult. That's why it's so important for you to talk to your doctor before any choice is made. Your doctor can guide you through this search and help you with the treatment.
Acne medicines are always something difficult to choose, because you only will know if they work for your case if you try it. Even if the medicine is prescribed by a doctor you can assure it will fit in your case until you try it.
In addition to that, some concepts about acne medicines are important for you to choose he right one to your case, specially if you have the mild type of acne, which usually doesn't need a medical orientation.
-The best acne medicines are those ones that treat acne from inside out. Since acne is not only a simple skin condition, it is important to treat it from inside. In general, acne is related to some dysfunction of the organism - hormonal unbalances are the most common causes - and for this reason it is meaningless treating only the skin when the real problem lies on the inside. When acne occurs, it is a sign that something is going wrong.
- The side effects that usually are caused by acne medicines must be taken into account when you decide going under a treatment. The side effects related to acne medicines are the most varied: from a simple headache to the serious liver or kidneys problems. Besides, pregnant women must stop the treatment as soon as she find out she is pregnant and all the women before going under a treatment must take a pregnancy test in order to confirm she is not pregnant. All this care is extremely necessary since some acne medicines can lead to miscarriage and birth defects. However, these care is for people who is under synthetic medicines. The alternative treatments, based on natural medicines, don't require so many care.
- There are, still, mainly two options for acne medicines. | 2019-04-21T07:14:22 | http://www.josephadetulafoundation.org/health_articles/how-to-find-an-acne-medicine.php |

I’m so excited to welcome Daniëlle from Food Love and Happiness to HIH! Be sure to stop by her blog and check out all of the awesome ideas (and amazing looking food!) that she shares!
Hi there! I’m Daniëlle from the Netherlands, and I am very excited about my fist contribution to Happiness is Homemade. You can read more about me on the ‘Meet the Team’ page, and of course you’re more than welcome to stop by at my own blog Food Love and Happiness. But enough about that, let’s talk Halloween!
I just love this holiday. Unfortunately I live in Holland and we don’t celebrate it in the same way you guys do. Most people don’t do anything about it, I personally can’t wait until we declare it a national holiday! 😉 So what else could I do for my first post than to share a fun recipe for Halloween!?
Who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies!? You can jazz them up for a perfect Halloween snack very easily. Another great benefit: it’s low-budget! Who said having a Halloween party has to be expensive?
Finely chop the chocolate with a sharp knife. Whisk the egg yolk with the sugar until you get a creamy light yellow mixture. Add the soft butter, the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Knead the dough and then add the chocolate. Mix the chocolate into the dough.
Create a roll of the dough, wrap it in plastic and let the dough rest in the fridge for at least one hour.
Preheat the oven to 180 C degrees (approx 350 degrees F). Prepare a baking sheet lined with some bakery paper. Cut the roll into 12 slices and place them on the baking tray. Bake the cookies about 10 minutes, or until golden brown. The cookies are still a bit soft, but don’t worry, they will harden.
Now the cookies are baked, you are going to create the spiders. Straight out of the oven so the chocolate is stil hot and melted, you use a toothpick to drag out ‘legs’ from the melted chocolate chips. Create as much spiders as you like. These classic chocolate chip cookies are now easily transformed to creepy Halloween spider cookies!
« Let’s Hear It For the Boy! Come Link Up!
Looks amazing, love the spider idea! | 2019-04-26T09:57:40 | https://www.happinessishomemade.net/halloween-chocolate-chip-spider-cookies/ |
Southeast Asia is making history as it is not common for regions to achieve a continued economic growth in a span of a few years. In fact, the entire region’s average yearly gross domestic project is almost 5 per cent. ASEAN Community is happy to announce that its economy is growing faster, twice compared to other regions in the globe. This is good news for recruitment agency in Bangkok, the current head of the ASEAN, because it will attract more skilled workers to the capital.
Experts believe that the prosperity of the Southeast Asian region is due to a number of factors including socio-cultural cooperation among nations, economic partnership and security in the political front.
The ASEAN chairmanship was appointed to Thailand for 2019 following the theme “Advancing Partnership for Sustainability”. The challenge now is for the region to realize the positive way to move forward and make sure it is secured no matter what. In order to get to this point though, there are elephants in the room that must be addressed in order to overcome the hurdles.
There is no denying the rapid economic progress but there is also the rise of transnational organized crime. This is due to the decline in the presence of trade barriers and the infrastructures are no longer receiving as much funding as before. Not to mention, the sudden rise in people moving from one border to another along with capital and goods.
In a recent figure released by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the value of transnational organized crime has reached $100 billion annually – a number higher than the GDP of several ASEAN members combined.
One of the most pressing transnational crimes is the trading of illegal drugs. There are also other issues that need to be confronted such as human trafficking, the illegal trading of timber and wildlife and the cybersecurity of each nation being put to the test.
The presence of legal recruitment agency in Bangkok helps curb human trafficking but there are still a few measures that can be done to totally eliminate this pressing issue. The challenge now is for the region to come together to fight these transnational crimes in order to further the economic growth of every country in the community. | 2019-04-20T16:11:24 | http://www.flotron.org/effects-of-bangkok-leading-the-asean/ |
WASHINGTON - Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is two steps further away from filling the ranks of his senior staff.
As markets quake and Treasury confronts the worst economic crisis in decades, Geithner has seen two people he had hoped to name to key posts withdraw from consideration.
The decision followed more than a month of intense scrutiny of her taxes and multiple interviews. No tax problems or other issues arose during Nazareth's vetting, said the person, who requested anonymity because Geithner's choice of Nazareth was never announced officially.
"She did put a great deal of consideration into the potential of taking the position, and she concluded that she really enjoys what she's doing now," this person said.
Though popular in policy circles, Nazareth has drawn criticism for her role in creating what some considered to be lax oversight of the banking industry.
Nazareth, 53, a partner at the law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell, could not be reached for comment. Treasury and White House officials said they would not comment.
Five weeks into his tenure, he has yet to name a single top deputy or assistant secretary. This has left Treasury with too few people authorized to make decisions or represent the department in meetings with stakeholders.
After initially declining to comment, Treasury spokesman Isaac Baker emailed a statement saying 50 political appointees at the department already are hard at work.
"Any rumors of vetting problems or delays in the process are simply not true," Baker's statement read.
The department has been meeting with members of the financial services industry as it oversees the government's $700 billion financial bailout and other parts of President Barack Obama's financial stabilization plan.
But at a Senate hearing Thursday about failed insurance giant American International Group Inc. — which has received four separate bailouts totaling more than $170 billion — Sen. Chris Dodd said he had asked Treasury for someone to appear, but that no one was available.
"I am not pleased that we don't have someone here from Treasury to explain what their role in this is," Dodd said.
Geithner's choice for undersecretary of international affairs, Caroline Atkinson, also withdrew from consideration, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
Some at Treasury and other financial regulators had looked forward to Nazareth's appointment. She is well-known in policy circles and is close with Geithner and Obama economic team members, including Paul Volcker, a former Federal Reserve chairman.
Nazareth joined the SEC in 1998 as senior counsel to then-Chairman Arthur Levitt, later directing the Division of Market Regulation. She is credited with creating numerous key policy changes.
She created the voluntary program intended to supervise large investment banks including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and the now-defunct Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch. The program was canceled in September as the financial crisis erupted and the remaining investment banks converted themselves into bank holding companies.
Some on Capitol Hill had expressed concern that Nazareth was too closely associated with the weak federal oversight that contributed to the banking collapse. Among her responsibilities at Treasury would have been overseeing the creation of a new regulatory system for large financial institutions.
Geithner told a Senate panel Wednesday that he hoped "to come up for the committee soon with a full slate of very strong people."
"We're doing this carefully, as you would expect, and ... trying to make sure we have the best talent in the country," he said.
Wyss, who previously worked at the Federal Reserve, said the administration needed to have made a much bigger push before taking office to get people cleared to take over the top jobs at Treasury so that Geithner could assemble his team quickly.
David Jones, head of Denver-based economic consulting firm DMJ Advisors, said that Geithner's missteps in putting together a financial rescue program and his inability to assemble a team at Treasury were raising concerns about whether the new administration's economic team is up to the challenges confronting them.
"There is no question that Wall Street is losing patience," said Jones, who for more than three decades served as a top economist at a major bond trading firm. "If there was ever a time when we need an effective and strong Treasury secretary, it is now."
Jones said that investors had initially viewed the economic team that Obama was assembling favorably because it included experienced hands such as Summers and Volcker.
"There were high expectations for this team, but at this time of crisis, it doesn't seem to be functioning effectively," Jones said. | 2019-04-24T01:04:14 | https://www.nydailynews.com/news/money/obama-treasury-sec-timothy-geithner-loses-2-key-candidates-senior-posts-withdraw-article-1.366772 |

Pretty fun game but it certainly didn't use the theme well though.
The atmosphere is great- it's pretty fun to make clouds change and disappear, and it's a unique take on the shape-shifting idea.
However, I encountered a bug a bit after playing- my cloud-changing thingy somehow disappeared.
Still, scattering clouds around is pretty fun and calming.
Very pretty but i'm not sure to understand how to play !
It's a very small toy, but why not: the idea is interesting, and could yield something really nice and abstract like Proteus was.
Except right know it feels a bit incomplete. If only the blue background was replaced with a moving/looping texture, it could have felt like a painting... But sadly, here it feels just like a solid color with a couple sprites on it. The cropping effect on the clouds is interesting though!
I think this is a true shapeshifting game with a good backstory too! I like the clean graphics and the humor.
@Wan Very wise observation, I originally planned to add a looping texture to the background, but time ran out. I will do it in the near future for sure. Regarding the cropping effect... I think it's a bit weird, but there was no easy way to "erase" the sprites more softly.
@JHemmings I see you catch the point. But what do you mean with your comment about the music? Can't you hear it or is it that you don't like it? The game has music actually.
But it was a zen and cool experience. Nice mood.
At first I bugged myself out before I got to try sculpting anything but the second round went much better. I still didn't feel like I had much control but I think if you continue polishing this concept it could become a great zen game! Btw, I really liked the colour pallette you used, the clouds are very pretty.
@Millefey Thank you :) And yes, it needs some polish in general.
That was really calming. It's a nice break from all the action games. Though it could use a bit more of a challenge. For example by having the player try to make a certain shape. In any case, great job!
It is not a game, but good relaxing toy. Good work.
Quite the interesting concept, and the mood was nice.
High innovation on this one. It is a cute little toy.
Interesting concept. I enjoyed the colors, shapes and textures of the clouds you made.
Nice relaxing experience. Well done.
To be honest, I don't really see the point to this as a game, might work as a strass reduction tool or similar.
@kestrelgames Thanks for your feedback! I'm happy to find another cloud-lover :D The "sculpting" effect is not very good, I know. I didn't have time to improve it during the jam, so that may be future work.
You could expand this idea into sculpting clouds on your phone by blowing into the microphone, perhaps?
Thanks sooo much! :) Please keep making more! The best part of LD for me is all the crazy imaginative stuff that comes out of it:) Should be taking part in the next one too, as I think our little team really grew a lot from doing this (first-time games jam too). PS, you should connect on twitter if you have it :) Cheers!
What a delicate game! There would be a visual indicative of the wind, though. Overall, very nice!
So pretty and cool! Would love to see where this idea goes! Thumbs up!
I like the idea a lot, and the atmosphere is well done. I just wish the clouds would shift more, rather than just move and be masked by a shrinking circle :) But I can imagine it would be a lot harder to do (especially in 2-3 days).
It's a nice little game, and it's a very original take on the theme! Well done! :) The music got bit repetetive after a while.
As a little mood piece that you were supposed to kill a few minutes with, this worked rather well. I have some reservations critiquing it, because it doesn't aim for the things that most other LD games do, but I will try to give my thoughts within the context of what it was trying to achieve. I enjoyed the graphics, although some kind of texture to fit with the painting aesthetic for the sky would have been nice. The concept was pretty simple, but I enojyed blowing the clouds around for a little while. Maybe some type of game mode where you have a goal would be nice for a future version. The music was nice and calming and I think it fit rather well. I'm not 100% sure how this counts as shapeshifting, as to me it felt more like positionshifting of the clouds. It was pretty cool for what it was though, so I congratulate you on that!
Really beautiful, but also I feel like there is a lot that could've been expanded on. I would love to see some sort of story to go with the mechanic (maybe even a bit Pixar shorts stylee).
This is a beautiful idea, since it's about mixing shapes it would have been nicer if there was a wider variety of clouds, and maybe more room to put them togheter and spread, just my feel on the game, nice experience! | 2019-04-23T16:23:52 | http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-35/?action=preview&uid=86219 |
Ability to mark expenses as Reimbursed without having TimeAttend module.
I pay for the expenses module which lets my employees record expenses, both reimbursable and not. Currently once expenses are approved, they just sit there categorized as "waiting to be reimbursed." It doesn't make sense to me why the ability to "Mark as Reimbursed" isn't a feature in the Expense module. This would eliminate tons of confusion and manual tracking on my end if I could simply mark expenses as reimbursed.
This is something that is being thought about already. We will update the post in case of any progress.
We have a change in progress to make Mark as Reimbursed available in the Expense Plus product. You'll likely see that change in the next few weeks.
We rolled out a fix for this on the weekend. You should now be able to create a Payroll Manager permission set and mark expenses as reimbursed in the Payroll section. | 2019-04-23T14:25:12 | https://community.replicon.com/replicon/topics/ability-to-mark-expenses-as-reimbursed-without-having-timeattend-module?topic-reply-list%5Bsettings%5D%5Bfilter_by%5D=all&topic-reply-list%5Bsettings%5D%5Breply_id%5D=18635726 |
Booster positions the EarthGov frigate he has hijacked in the center of Metropolis' gravity calamity and Supergirl, quick to spot his intentions, advises the Legionnaires to get the people they are saving on board. Another EarthGov ship arrives, but insists that it, too, is only looking to help. Just then, Chancellor Pa-Vel raises Supergirl via communicator to let her know that her assistance is needed elsewhere.
Superman, having had the Chancellor direct the gravity buoys toward the sun, is battling Doomsday along the line. In telepathic connection with Saturn Girl, Superman, not expecting to survive, asks that somebody tell Lois what happened to him and that both Booster and Kara "find their places." But just as Superman unleashes a final blow that sends Doomsday to his fiery end and leaves him at the mercy of the sun's gravity, a hand reaches out and catches him - the Legion has arrived and have formed a chain of hands sufficient to resist the pull of the sun and keep everyone alive.
Later, back on Earth, a young child running away from his mother bumps into Superman on the street. Apparently young Bartholomew Allen is "always running off." Superman notes the name, and sheds a tear for a good friend lost. Then Brainiac arrives and advises Superman that EarthGov has disavowed Minister Niedrigh and that Krypton and Earth are working together to repair one another's damaged infrastructure. Brainiac returns Superman's Legion ring, the one Booster stole in the 25th Century, so that it can make its way back to the museum for Booster to steal it. Time travel headaches ensue.
Finally, Clark and Kara say their goodbyes in space. Clark invites Kara to join him back in the 21st Century, and Kara indicates that she probably eventually will, but not before enjoying her latest mission, one that is entirely her own.
Here's the problem: the whole thing is built on the edifice of those gravity buoys, which as I've been saying, is pretty weak sauce indeed. They were established under the desperately vague pretense of the Kryptonians not otherwise being able to "fly through space with any kind of purpose," despite being shown to be as perfectly capable of flying around up there unassisted and purposeful as always. This line, this business of "purpose," was then never revisited or otherwise elucidated (I don't count Brainiac's passing reference to a "graviton field" over Metropolis in the final panels of this issue) while the buoys themselves were gradually and almost silently manipulated to serve, it seems, the incredibly felicitous purpose of assisting the non-Kryptonians in that chain of hands.
What's my point? None of that was ever needed. Superman not being able to escape the gravitational pull of the sun is not only not canonical, it is pre-contradicted within Smallville itself by Season 8's "Odyssey," wherein John Jones flies a powerless and arrow-pierced-thus-dying Clark to the heart of the sun in order to restore him to full strength, a trip from which the two heroes return without the aid of any gravity buoys (we have to assume, given that it's still the 21st Century when that happens). And let's not even talk about the fact that Jones lost his powers for this trouble but still managed to survive. Nor does any of this connect with the Faora-as-god-omigod-Doomsday component of this arc.
What's this, I say? A retcon? In Smallville? How can this be???
Or how about this: I can imagine that a new planet in the solar system just might affect the overall gravitational dynamics of that system in some way. I can probably expect to find useful information in libraries or on the Internet that could help me fictionalize such a scenario for the purposes of, say, writing a Superman comic book. And I can fathom that something like that is exactly what Miller is thinking. But I can't fathom leaving such a small and altogether unifying detail unsaid. I can't fathom being so imprecise about what, how big and how far away Argo/"Worldship" New Krypton is in relation to Earth while simultaneously building key plot points right on top of those missing details.
I guess I just don't feel like "Argo" much grew the wider Smallville universe. More like muddied.
Oh well. Time travel, amirite? At least a terrific moment of familial heroism came out of it, for which I am happy to do everybody a favor and give this particular issue top marks, even if almost none of what led us here made the slightest bit of sense. Other than that, it was good to see Booster do something wholly for others, and the exchange between Clark and Imra as Clark battled Doomsday was suitably heartfelt. It's not like I feel bad giving this issue a 5.
A final note: I also think the "Bartholomew Allen" moment was a bit of an overreach, only because there's been no Smallville acknowledgment that its incarnation of Bart did indeed originate in the future as he has in other titles. You'd also need to know that for it to be more than just inorganically random. Either way, unlike the chain of Legionnaires, this moment didn't have the intended effect on me, but maybe it's just what would have qualified as fanservice when it was still on TV, so let's call it an Easter egg and we can all be duly satisfied with it.
Art - 5: All around good stuff, even if the shiny-happy-people splash page of Legionnaires departing triumphantly from the sun is not to my taste. | 2019-04-25T13:46:31 | https://www.supermanhomepage.com/comics/2013-comic-reviews/c-review-2013.php?topic=smallville53 |
Blog Post - How Did God Guide the Biblical Writers?
Robots. To the unilluminated mind, that’s what we are under the control of a sovereign God—just mindless automatons executing divine orders for His pleasure. And while the Lord could control and direct His creations that way, He doesn’t—instead He works through our wills, our intellects, and our personalities to accomplish His sovereign ends.
Nowhere are God’s methods more obvious than in the writing of Scripture. God could have simply dictated His Word through one man, or maintained a consistent tone and vocabulary across several human authors. Instead, as we’ll see today, He worked through a diverse collection of authors and personalities to deliver His Word to His people, without sacrificing the continuity or character of Scripture.
Last time we considered several common misconceptions about how the Lord inspired His Word. Today we’re going to consider what the Bible says about its own inspired quality.
Two passages of Scripture—2 Timothy 3:16 and 2 Peter 1:20-21—tell us what inspiration really is. Many versions of 2 Timothy 3:16 say something like, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God” (KJV, emphasis added). The English Standard Version is more accurate, however, when it translates the verse, “All Scripture is breathed out by God.” The Greek expression used here is pasa grafe theopneustos. Let us take a closer look at the meaning of these three crucial words.
Theopneustos is a combination of the Greek word theos (God) and pneu (breath). We get such English words as pneumatic and pneumonia from the Greek root pneu. Theopneustos then literally means “God-breathed.” The key to understanding the concept of “God-breathed” really comes out of the Old Testament. In Psalm 33:6 we read: “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth all their host.” In other words, God breathed the universe into existence. In the same way, God breathed into existence His Word, the Bible. When Scripture speaks, God speaks. Romans 3:2 tells us that the Scriptures are the “oracles of God”—His very words.
In the first chapter of Jeremiah, that prophet writes, “The word of the Lord came to me saying, ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations’” (Jeremiah 1:4-5). A few verses later, Jeremiah reports, “Then the Lord stretched out His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me, ‘Behold, I have put My words in your mouth’” (Jeremiah 1:9). God has always worked through words, not merely thoughts. He has put His words in the mouth of the writers of Scripture.
The second point from 2 Timothy 3:16 concerns how much of Scripture is God-breathed. Paul uses the Greek word pasa, which can be translated “all” or “every.” Paul is saying that all Scripture—every bit of it—is inspired.
The church no more gave us the New Testament canon than Sir Isaac Newton gave us the force of gravity. God gave us gravity, by His work of creation, and similarly He gave us the New Testament canon, by inspiring the individual books that make it up. J.I. Packer, God Has Spoken: Revelation and the Bible (London: Hodden and Stoughton, 1965), 81.
Though the history of the recognition, review, and ratification of the canon was somewhat complicated . . . what should be emphasized . . . is that not because the church, upon a certain date, long ago, made an official decision (the decision of the Council of Hippo, 393 A.D.; of Carthage, 397 A.D.), do these books constitute the inspired Bible; on the contrary, the sixty-six books, by their very contents, immediately attest themselves to the hearts of all Spirit-indwelt men as being the living oracles of God. William Hendriksen, First and Second Timothy and Titus, New Testament Commentary Series (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House, 1957), 301-302.
The church only recognized this reality.
What does all this have to do with what Paul said in 2 Timothy 3:16? Just this: To say all Scripture is God-breathed doesn’t necessarily mean just all past Scripture. I believe 2 Timothy 3:16 refers to the entire Scripture—that which had been written, that which was being written, and that which was yet to be written.
As for the third point from 2 Timothy 3:16, we need to ask just what is Scripture? And here we have the other Greek word—graphe. This is the word from which we get graphite—the material that is used for making pencils. Graphe simply means “writing.” Did Paul mean that all kinds of writing were inspired? Obviously not, and we can go back to 2 Timothy 3:15 to see just what he did mean. Paul tells Timothy, “From childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” So Paul is talking about holy writing. It is the holy Scripture that is God-breathed.
Technically speaking, the writers of Scripture are never referred to as inspired. Paul is referring to their writings and he says that they are God-breathed. So when we sometimes say that Paul was inspired as he wrote certain books of the Bible, this is not technically correct. Paul was not inspired. The epistle to the Romans is inspired, as are the letters to the Corinthians, the Galatians, the Ephesians, and so on. It is not the men who wrote Scripture that are inspired; it is the message. Some writers of Scripture wrote only one brief book or letter and never wrote another “inspired” thing in their entire lives.
What then was the condition of a biblical writer at the time he wrote inspired Scripture? What was the difference between the way Paul felt and wrote when he penned Romans and all those other letters and when he simply wrote out supply lists for his next missionary journey?
The human writers were not autonomous, but lived and moved and had their being in the all-wise Lord of All. Created with a capacity for self-transcendence in the image of God, they could receive changeless truths by revelation. Providentially prepared by God in their unique personalities they also had characteristics common to all other human beings in all times and cultures. Their teaching originated, however, not with their own wills, but God’s and came to them through a variety of means. In all the human writing processes, they were supernaturally overshadowed by the Holy Spirit, not in a way analogous to mechanical or unworthy human relationships, but as one loving person effectually influences another. What stands written, therefore, in human language is not merely human, but also divine. What the human sentences teach, God teaches. Gordon R. Lewis, “The Human Authorship of Inspired Scripture,” Summit Papers, International Council on Biblical Inerrancy (1978).
In succinct terms, then, inspiration is God’s revelation communicated to us through writers who use their own minds, their own words, and yet God had so arranged their lives and their thoughts and their vocabularies, that the words they chose out of their own minds were the very words that God determined from eternity past that they would use to write His truths. | 2019-04-24T12:50:36 | https://www.gty.org/library/blog/B160715/how-did-god-guide-the-biblical-writers |

We all know already, Royal Enfield developing a 750cc parallel-twin motor. But now, we got some spy shots of the bike has now been caught testing on Indian roads.
Its fuel-injected air-cooled 750cc motor is expected to produce close to 50PS of power. You can also expect ABS as a standard feature when the bike makes it to the showrooms a year down the line. We can expect an official showcase at the Indian Auto Expo 2018. | 2019-04-19T06:16:34 | http://www.autonews.mowval.com/bikenews/Parallel-Twin-750-CC-Royal-Enfield-Continental-GT-Spied-908.html |
