Last year, an important change was noted in terms of state ranking by vehicle coverage quotes: a significant Texas car insurance rates increase placed the state at number 11 in the chart of the U.S.’s highest premiums. The information was supplied by a regulating body in the car insurance industry, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (or NAIC), which pooled vehicle insurance quotes from all states in the nation.
The cited study looked at several indexes included in the cost of car insurance. On the one hand, it took into analysis the price of coverage for fixing trucks and cars in the case of accidents, also referred to as collision coverage. This expense does not represent the full cost of vehicle insurance, but it is significant, since it involves all the costs that policy covers for, in order to fix damage incurred to a vehicle as the result of an accident. It found that the upward trend posted by this index in the past few years was also confirmed in 2009. The survey analyzed data from 2009, since that is the most recent nationwide set of figures. At the moment when the study was released, at the end of January 2012, Texas ranked 5th of all American states by collision coverage costs.
However, it’s important to note that the Texas car insurance rates increase did not affect the amount of money that drivers have to pay for liability coverage. Texas ranks 20th among all states according to this criterion and many chalk this up to the lobbying of liability coverage advocates, who have also been aiming to reduce the number of lawsuits resulting from car accidents.
The study confirmed also confirmed a fact that many Texas vehicle owners and coverage holders have been intuiting for a long time. Vehicle insurance in the state of Texas is far more expensive than elsewhere around the country. On average, a Texas motorist pays out $1,022 in insurance premiums each year, while the national average for premium costs is over $100 cheaper, and has been calculated at $901. Texas is not the only state in this situation – there are about a dozen of other states in the US in which the average vehicle insurance premium costs more than $1,000. The most expensive car insurance premiums are being paid out by drivers in Louisiana, who shell out $1,270 each year, in order to have their cars insured.
What are the reasons behind the Texas car insurance rates increase? The large number of uninsured motorists in the state, says one representative of the insurance industry. Collision coverage is priced highly in Texas, because the numerous drivers without coverage pose a higher risk in Texas than in other states. The cost of collision coverage has also been allegedly driven up by the rising prices at car repair and body work shops around the state. But while the reasons may be numerous and complex, the situation of the Texas car insurance rates increase remains problematic and unlikely to drive more motorists to purchase insurance for their vehicles. | 2019-04-20T05:07:48 | https://freedallascarinsurancequotes.com/texas-car-insurance-rates-increase/ |

- The idea behind the automotive addendum was to find a consensus in the jungle of corporate specifications, a common document describing basic PCB requirements for the automotive industry. IPC-6012DA was published in April 2016, the work with the Amendment started in April 2017. A year later we have made some important changes that will impact the Automotive Industry, says Chair of D-33aa Task Group and Senior Technical Advisor at Elmatica, Jan Pedersen.
- I am very excited to present the addendum. The changes of the revised version are of substantial character. Some of the features the Addendum addresses are amongst others Cleanliness, Solder mask thickness, and Wicking. However, that is next week, there is still time for the industry or anyone interested to review and comment. The deadline for commenting is Monday 4th of June, says Pedersen.
- We have now managed to have Tier 1 companies join the task group, but above all, they are using the standard. We are on our way from a myriad of Automotive corporate standards to one document that describes a consensus on the most important terms and requirements. From the early start we had some challenges getting attention from the Automotive Industry, where you generally find huge global players with their own rules and requirements, says Jan Pedersen.
- I would like to address a special thanks to Jan Pedersen for leading the D-33aa Task Group during the development of the Amendment to the IPC-6012DA. The IPC D-33aa Task Group will begin addressing comments on Tuesday, 5 June 2018 at the IPC Automotive Electronics Reliability Forum in Nuremberg, Germany and will continue through subsequent task group web conferences, says John Perry Director, Printed Board Standards & Technology at IPC. | 2019-04-18T23:05:36 | https://www.eipc.org/final-draft-industry-review-ipc-6012da-amendment-1-automotive-applications-addendum-ipc-6012d-qualification-performance-specification-rigid-printed-boards-available-fo/ |

Our latest tool, SilkETW, aims to put actionable ETW data in the hands of researches, both on the defensive and offensive side of the industry.
By having the data in hand it is easy to filter the exact event that you want to trace, here researchers demonstrated by identifying a Mimikatz execution.
Also, the SilkETW includes a number of command line flags that allow the user to restrict the events that are captured.
It includes the following capabilities such as event name, the process ID, the process name, and the opcode.
The data collection can be triggered by using the command .NET ETW data and the “-yo” option here indicates that it will write only the Yara matches to file.
SilkETW is currently research focused data-collection tool with robust yet rudimentary capabilities. the tool can be downloaded on GitHub. | 2019-04-26T10:08:40 | https://gbhackers.com/silketw-intellegence-tool/ |
Having left Scotland a few years ago to live on the beautiful island of Tenerife, going home for me is a real treat.
A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with ceoliacs disease, which in simple terms means I can only control my illness through my diet. By cutting out gluten completely I can live a healthy life. Going home now means so many changes none other than the big changes when eating out. On my latest trip home in June, my husband and I met up with friends and arranged to dine out at a restaurant in Colinton, Edinburgh.
The name of the restaurant is Dantes.
Outside on the wall is their menu, and it states clearly, Gluten Free pasta, I was excited as you can imagine. For the first time since being diagnosed I could eat pasta in a restaurant.
My friend and I went into Dantes and asked the man that greeted us about the gluten free pasta and he reassured me that the pasta and the sauce was in fact gluten free, and that there were a lot of other things on the menu that I could eat.
We booked a table and ate there that night. I, in the end, decided against the pasta as I was more tempted by the special, a beautiful grey mullet fillet and special potatoes.
Both of the owners seem to share the responsiblity, they are two brothers and one of the desserts my friend ordered had been made by their mother, so a real family affair. They are, I think, part Italian and extremely good looking which just added to our evening and they were really friendly to our men folk too.
Throughout the night all types of people came in, with and without children, all age groups, and they were all welcomed. This establishment was busy in a recession and the two men were happy at their work, they had one day off a week in which they liked to play golf, and it seemed the rest of their time was spent running their business.
I hope, not only because they made me, a coeliac, welcome but because everyone enjoyed their meal and the price was fair, that this business goes from strength to strength. I just want to use this medium to sing their praises and to say Thank You, it meant so much to me just to feel normal whilst eating out. | 2019-04-18T22:18:55 | https://scotlandwelcomesyou.com/ceoliacs-catered-for-in-scotland/ |

I acquired a really nice George today and I've found that if I put it in the "international Configuration" as detailed below, the only modes it lets me select are AM & FM. If I put it back to the French standard, I'm able to select and use am/fm/usb/lsb no problem, but then of course I'm stuck to those 40 channels. Any ideas why that would be?
a) Turn your set on by pushing POWER.
c) Depress POWER and keep pressed down. Your set goes on and then goes off.
d) Keep POWER depressed and press PA and DIMMER simultaneously.
e) Release POWER after 5 sec. while keeping PA and DIMMER pressed down: ''codE'' flashes in the display for 5 seconds.
f) ''codE'' disappears and the display remains lit up.
g) Release PA and DIMMER.
for 240 ch. FM/AM/SSB (International configuration, 20 Watt AM/FM, 50 Watt SSB), the display goes out.
for 40 ch. FM 4 Watt and ch. 4-15 AM 4 Watt (Germany), the display goes out.
for 40 ch. FM 4 Watt (CEPT), the display goes out.
for 40 ch. FM 4 Watt (Britain and Poland), the display goes out.
for 40 ch. AM/FM/SSB 4 Watt (French standard), the display goes out.
i) Enter your access code, then press POWER. Your set is now in new configuration.
Never mind, I found the answer myself. If you short press the mode button it changes between AM & FM, but if you long press the same button it jumps over to USB & LSB.
I have one at the moment. Very nice radios.
Only reason why I sold mine.
The code is fine, and at least the volume control doesn't need to be moved to turn it off and on.
They work like a modern radio, only with better build quality.
The main thing I don't like on mine and the others I have had is that they get distortion on strong SSB stations. The Jackson had a fix for it, but i don't think a similar mod can be done on the George.
You shouldn't have to use four fingers, stand on your head and do the twirl every time you power up the radio though. It was the cumbersome way they went about it that annoyed me, not the fact you required a code. | 2019-04-24T14:20:11 | http://transmission1.net/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=54931&p=498905 |
Research statement: I provide scientific leadership for a cadre of dedicated USFS scientists and staff involved in the development of forest science and related applications that improve our understanding, monitoring, and management of northern forest ecosystems from Maine to Minnesota. A number of world-class research forests are maintained by this research unit, such as Hubbard Brook, that provide a plethora of opportunities for engaging partners (states, universities, NGOs) in research of mutual interest. In addition to my leadership of the research unit, impactful research assigned to me includes refining our quantification and understanding of the role of forest dead wood in forest stand dynamics, production, and carbon cycles. In addition to dead wood exploration, I investigate the refinement of forest stand dynamics metrics, such as stocking indices, to accommodate emerging theories of tree functional traits and related stand development processes. Finally, as a former Forest Inventory and Analysis scientist and Lead Scientist of the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory of US Forests, I identify ways to upscale research results from experimental forests to the population level with a focus on forest carbon accounting and management. | 2019-04-18T18:50:33 | https://hubbardbrook.org/people/christopher-woodall |

There are so many different kinds of salad dressings in the world. What flavor do you like best? I like sweet and sour or fruity flavors. Recently, I learned how to make this delicious salad using Sempio’s Drinking Black Rice Vinegar – Pomegranate from my friend. It has various nuts, fruits, leafy greens, and cheese served with a sweet and sour dressing. I just love the flavor. So, I want to share the recipe with you today.
Mix all the ingredients for the dressing in a small mixing bowl. If you do not have Sempio’s Drinking Black Rice Vinegar, you can use normal pomegranate, cranberry, or grape juice instead and increase the vinegar a little.
Obtain ¼ cup of chopped walnuts, ¼ cup of sliced almonds, and ¼ cup of dried cranberries. You can substitute other kinds of nuts and dried fruits that you like instead.
Obtain ¼ cup of crumbled feta cheese, ½ cup of cherry tomatoes, ⅓ cup of strawberries, ⅓ cup of mango, and ⅓ cup of blueberries. Chop the strawberries and mango into ½-inch cubes. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. You can also use other kinds of fruit that you like such as pineapple, kiwi, pear, apple, peach, etc.
Obtain 2 handfuls of leafy greens. Place some of the leaves on a plate and put the nuts and fruit on top. This recipe is for 2-3 servings, so divide all the ingredients into 2 or 3 servings.
Drizzle 2 or 3 spoonfuls of salad dressing on each salad.
Lastly, sprinkle some feta cheese on top and serve.

Japan is an island nation in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies off the eastern coast of the Asian mainland. There, it stretches from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea in the southwest.
The kanji that make up the country’s name mean “sun origin”. Hence, this country’s nickname, “Land of the Rising Sun”.
The country lies on a stratovolcanic archipelago consisting of about 6,852 islands. Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku are the four largest, and they make up 97% of Japan’s land area. For this reason, the people call these the home islands.
Because of its vast area, this country boasts multiple climates as well as natural wonders. In terms of government, the country contains 47 prefectures in eight regions. Of these, Hokkaido is the northernmost prefecture. Meanwhile, Okinawa the southernmost one.
From snowy landscapes to sunny beaches, this region of the world is a wonder for visitors and photographers alike. However, make sure to allow ample time for travels! | 2019-04-25T10:01:17 | https://cornforthimages.com/photos/landscape/japan/ |

14 Ways to Benefit from 'Alone Time' - Anglia Counselling Ltd.
There are so many negative connotations when we hear the word ‘alone’. However, ‘being alone’ or ‘alone time’ can provide great benefits and contributes to our emotional wellbeing. For some time I have been a great advocate of ‘mindful walking‘ as a way to engage in some physical exercise and make space so we can reflect (maybe even allow for some problem-solving), feel the ground beneath our feet, smell the air and listen to the sounds around us – in effect ‘see’ or become aware of what is around us. It’s this awareness that leads us to give attention to ‘the present moment’ and ‘being mindful’.
Living a mindful life, or ‘being’ mindful, needn’t be complicated or unobtainable. One can easily experience the physical and emotional benefits – of spending some time with oneself – as pointed out in this wonderful infographic. | 2019-04-18T12:24:24 | https://www.angliacounselling.co.uk/infographic/alone-time/ |
One of the best parts about being a parent, in my opinion anyway, is that it allows me to re-experience all of the magical parts about being a child. Whether it’s helping my daughter put cookies out for Santa, listening to her yell ‘trick or treat?!’ on Halloween, or watching her hunt for Easter eggs, there never seems to be a shortage of things to look forward to, and now that she’s in full day school, there are a host of other things we get to do together as well.
Like making Valentine’s Day teacher gifts to show how much she loves and adores all of the important people who come together each week to help make her life at school as fun and challenging as possible.
Last year I took the easy route and we made up Valentine’s Day gift bags together, but this year I want to make something a little more personal.
And let tell you this: there is no shortage of Valentine’s Day teacher gifts on the Internet.
I found all kinds of fabulous ideas, most of which involved printing out pre-made labels bloggers are offering up for free and then attaching a lip balm or gift card or bag full of treats.
But now that my daughter is older and her attention span has grown, I want to make something a little more unique.
It took a bit of time to find ideas I felt her teachers would appreciate, and now I feel torn. There are so many fabulous crafts to choose from, I’m not sure I’ll be able to pick only one!
At the end of the day, your child’s teachers will appreciate anything you give to them, but my hope is that these Valentine’s Day teacher gifts will inspire you and your little ones to get your creative juices flowing so you can show just how much you love the teachers in your lives.
If you liked this collection of Valentine’s Day teacher gifts, please share it on Pinterest! | 2019-04-24T04:42:19 | https://www.merakilane.com/9-adorable-diy-valentines-day-teacher-gifts-kids-can-make/ |

A diverter valve does two crucial things: seal pressure under boost to deliver peak power, and release pressure when you back off the throttle. In turbocharged VWs that are modified for performance, it also does something undesirable: It loses effectiveness, even failing. USP Motorsports offers OEM replacement and high-performance diverter valves for engines including the VW 2.5T; Audi / VW 1.8T and 2.0T FSI and TSI; Audi 2.7T; and Porsche 3.6TT.
Below you’ll find diverter valves and related products from APR, Assembled by USP, Forge Motorsport, Go Fast Bits, HKS, Integrated Engineering, OEM VW / Audi, Spulen, Torque Solution and Turbosmart.
Go Fast Bit Diverter Valve For BMW F30 Diverter Valve Upgrade for your BMW F30 135/335/435/535/640/740 and more!
Stock VW diverter valves don’t hold up under the stresses of heat-generating, high-performance engine mods, especially if you upgrade with forced induction accessories or engine software. On a tuned engine, the valve ends up leaking — which lowers performance — or failing. That’s why USP offers many diverter valve solutions.
On most Audi / VW models, the diverter valve is bolted to the turbocharger housing — the compressor side! The heat from a stock engine is stressful enough, and when an engine is modified, stock VW valves can’t handle the extra heat. USP sells stronger units engineered to tolerate higher temperatures, boosting reliability.
OEM Audi / VW offers an economical diverter valve with a piston design based on that of the TSI and aftermarket turbo diverter valve designs, rather than on a diaphragm. It works with 1.8T, 2.0Tand 2.5T engines.
Among your choices are the Forge 1.8T Diverter Valve and Forge 2.0T Diverter Valve, plus the Forge Blow-Off Valve for both engines. All use stock ECU controls. There are also the APR diverter valve (R1 Diverter Valve); mid-priced Go Fast Bits GFB DV+; USP Assembled 1.8T kit with a sequential HKS SQV Blow-Off Valve; HKS Super SQV 4, which has operating ranges from low to high pressure; Spulen Blow-Off Valve Kit for MK7 1.8T and 2.0T; and Turbosmart Kompact Series Blow-Off Valve, which vents to the atmosphere or air intake.
Another solution is a diverter valve relocation kit — available in black, blue or red — to move the valve from the hot side of the turbo housing to the cool side. The lower heat extends valve life. Block-off plates aid the switch. | 2019-04-21T08:35:34 | https://www.uspmotorsports.com/Engine/Forced-Induction/Diverter-Valves/ |
Many post-war first ring urban suburbs are now at a critical juncture in their history. They are being surpassed by suburbs and exurbs of their own. Houses are aging, the business core is changing, and the traditional culture of many are shifting.
With all that said, the question is rather simple, what can be done or what is being done to save these aging suburban districts? I supose I'm really interested in the techniques in managing older subdivisions and cul-de-sacs which sprung up in the 60's and 70's with your basic ranch house, winding streets, and dead ends. Are we stuck with them, or is something that can be done?
I think there will always be a segment of the population that will occupy these suburbs. Probably some of the new immigrants to this country will begin to move from the cities to these suburbs as they assimilate, just like the Italians and Jewish immigrants moved out of the cities after the war. For many, a house in the suburbs is still the symbol of the American Dream being accomplished. I know many Hispanic families that have recently moved out of the central city into smaller homes in the 1950's subdivisions. A lot of people desire change, and a change for those growing up in the city is of course the suburbs. At the same time, a lot of my generation that grew up in these suburbs can't stand them anymore and will be moving back into the city.
If gas prices continue to climb, however, then I think we could see some drastic changes taking place. I wouldn't be surprised if thirty years from now we had deserted cul-de-sacs being leveled to build condos, apartments, or denser single family and multi-family homes.
Or, another possibility-living in the suburbs becomes so unpopular that prices drop drastically, while at the same time cities become totally gentrified. Then we could have a flip-flop-all the wealth and middle class would be in the city while the poor would be forced out into the suburbs, far flung from good jobs and unable to access them because gas is so expensive they can't afford automobile travel.
That will never happen, there will be no flip between the suburbs and the inner cities. The suburbs are popular because of safety, space, and privacy. Well paying jobs will be more delivered by telecommuting in the future. Telecommuting will further accelerate the spread of suburbs.
As for oil and the price of, Oil futures are still falling, global warming may have made heating for the Winters less oil-intensive, and cars are becoming more efficient.
But with anti-sprawl sentiments gaining in popularity and the first generation post-war suburbs not getting younger, these communities will eventually have to confront the problem of being outdated in terms of architecture and street layout, falling property values, and the already change of taste in house architecture and layout. So if you are traditional suburb with enough vision to see this coming, what do you do?
My mom grew up in Bloomington, MN, an old farmtown that boomed during the 50s and 60s. The city originally faced major problems in the 1980s because school enrollment fell from 20,000 to about 12,000 in 10 years. They closed many many schools including all of the schools my mom ever attended.
The city got a large breath of fresh air in the late 1980s with the proposal for the Mall of America to be built on the former Metropolitan Stadium site which had closed for good in 1984. With the Mall of America came many hotels and other commercial developments. Many areas of Bloomington have been cleared out of traditional housing to be replaced with apartment and condo complexes and property values are skyrocketing. So many mid-rise buildings have gone up along Interstate 494 that it is now known as the Bloomington Strip with Best Buy HQ and a large Wells Fargo center there.
Demographically, it was very homogenous in the 1960s with almost 100% white, young families occupying the city. Now the city has become much more diverse with many black and asian families moving in from Minneapolis as their economic situation improves. The city is now age-diverse as well.
But yes, that is how inner-ring suburbs are growing: Improved public transit and urban-style pedestrian friendly developments. Bloomington is not a typical example, but it is a good example of how older suburbs can thrive.
Change is really the only constant. I don't think there is one answer - I don't think there will be one path all of these communities take. If you look at many of the neighborhoods lying on the outskirts of our cities, those were once the suburbs. In some cases they filled in with density, in some cases they gentrified and became wealthy neighborhoods, and in some cases became the slums, or at least depressed areas. It all depends upon what other, well for lack of a better term resources, exist in the neighborhood. How good is access? Is it scenic, are the houses desirable?
The other issue is that we are already stating that growth will continue unabated. Already we are seeing parts of the country where growth is slowing down. Those suburbs may simply continue to be suburbs. Some houses will be renovated, some get leveled to create new places. But the overall character may simply stay the same, and development passes it by.
In some cases, yes. But I don't necessarily think that it's as simple a thing as affluent people moving back and forth, I think it's more about different groups of people being attracted to an area at different times, each one at a different level of affluence and interest.
So I don't think you are going to see everyone moving back into the cities, as I don't believe that that is even happening now. What I do believe is happening is that a new group has formed of people who are affluent, more interested in an active social lifestyle, and who aren't as tied down with tradition and family life who are finding that city life is more appealing to them than suburban life. That's what is driving the city.
I don't see a huge decrease in the suburban lifestyle, however. But I do see a huge change in the cost of building and maintaining that lifestyle - in a downward direction. Therefor I see more people migrating to newer housing than rebuilding older housing. What is to be seen is how this affects the older suburbs. Will developers start buying up large blocks, tearing down the old homes and building new ones in their place? Will the economics change and older suburbs become more attractive for a different group? Or will something like infill and natural change start creating a different type of community in those suburbs that becomes attractive to a different group of people?
Much of the folks with money tend to move either into the trendy core of the city, or out to the newest suburb.
More effort needs to be put into planning and organizing America's suburbs, because most were laid it with economy and space in mind instead of community welfare and flow of traffic.
Maybe these older suburbs will resurge in a unique way we haven't thought of yet. They will always be demand for personal space and privacy...so as long as these older suburbs are safe and clean property values will stay high.
America's housing needs are changing gradually over time. With that change, some of these older homes will need an extensive renovation. Owners may choose to simply sell and build farther out than pay to rebuild something they don't see as historical or finacially worthwhile. I am not even worried about the post war cottages or turn of the century homes as much as the 1970s and 1980s ranch homes in the future.
Suppose we try redeveloping existing suburbs by opening up the roads for traffic a bit better? Some cul-de-sacs deep within cities could be easily opened up to nearby roads. A lot of the funkier road patterns that sprawling developers used could actually become pretty interesting urban thoroughfares with a bit of work.
They pretty much density-proofed this area. It is forever a barrier to transportation, a chain of McMansions in random configurations, with absolutely no potential at all for improvement.
Improvement? for a lot of people, that type of neighborhood is vastly better than any more dense grid pattern of houses one on top of another. I am beginning to wonder if we need to rethink what the problems are with what we describe as sprawl. Instead of simply thinking that any place where a single family home stands with room around it in an non-urban area, we need to identify why that type of situation is bad, and identify how to fix those situations. People wouldn't be in such a rush to move to these neighborhoods if they didn't want to live in that kind of an environment.
I think the issues we need to address aren't that they are cul-de-sacs or developments, but that the area has an identity outside of the name on the gate. That there is neighborhood diversity, that their is efficient transportation, and that there is recognition of the environment. I would love to see more focus on how to keep that kind of private, uncrowded, "safe" neighborhood feel and still provide good public transportation, diversity and variety, and to improve environmental impacts. | 2019-04-25T10:08:43 | https://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/topic/34290-aging-urbansuburban-subdivisions-and-cul-de-sacs/ |

StarQuest is pleased to announce the release of SQDR V4.6 which includes performance enhancements and new features that simplify data migration from other data replication products such as IBM InfoSphere Change Data Capture (DataMirror), Dell SharePlex and Oracle GoldenGate.
• Significantly reduces the amount of data transferred from the source system to the SQDR system. A new configuration parameter compareChangeData enables the optimization of staging data by instructing the Staging Agent to compare before and after images and transmit only the columns that contain data that has changed. This feature is available for DB2 for i sources, and requires that the journal be configured for *BOTH (before and after images).
• SQDR V4.6 can now use a journal configured using CHGJRN MINENTDTA(*FLDBDY) (Minimize Entry Data, Field boundary) to minimize the amount of journal data stored on the IBM i source system.
• The list of available macros has been greatly expanded to include data such as JED (journal entry detail) elements and additional forms of load and update timestamps. When creating a subscription, SQDR administrators can define derived columns to be created in the destination table. These columns may be based on any valid source DBMS SQL expression or a macro representing SQDR Plus capture metadata.
• The table import features and column mapping definitions imports, including derived columns, have been simplified. Database designers can easily create comprehensive lists of tables and column definitions to be supplied to the SQDR administrator for implementation of the desired subscriptions.
• The Treat Delete as Update feature can be used for auditing purposes. When a row is deleted in the source, the row is not deleted on the destination, and only derived columns, such as modification timestamps, are modified.
• New SSL configurations for public networks. SQDR Plus can now be configured to use an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) connection to the DB2 for i source system; this is often desired or required when communication between the SQDR system and the source system travels over a public network.
Version 4.6 of SQDR is available to all customers with a current maintenance agreement for no additional charge.
If you are not yet a StarQuest SQDR customer and want to learn more, please visit our SQDR page or contact us for a demo. | 2019-04-24T09:56:44 | https://www.starquest.com/real-time-data-replication/sqdr-update-version-4-6-now-available/ |

Home » Last month saw enough people “to fill Birmingham” change energy providers.
With the fluctuation of cold weather seen over February and slightly into March this year, a large proportion of the country either switched, or considering switching, their energy provider. This comes hand in hand with the notion that the ‘big six’ providers are no longer the go-to choice for customers. Rather, as much as 20% of customers have now began to seek out mid-tier businesses to provide the energy to their homes. Not only this, but the massive increase of prices by British Gas in 2017 has seemingly catalysed a more frugal attitude by customers paying for energy.
The Energy Switch Guarantee (ESG) has meant that switching energy providers is now simpler than ever before for customers. The voluntary business commitment means that much of the stress that was once there for customers is now all but removed. Comparing energy providers means that the business of providing energy is now the most competitive it has ever been, and pressure to compete means that prices are slowly being pushed down as a result.
British Gas blames the capping of energy prices as one of the key reasons they had to let got of almost 40% of their workforce, but it is futile to ignore the positive impact from this initiative. It feels like there was once an understanding that utilities, like other aspects of life, are a necessity.
Therefore, it felt unethical to be raising prices for the profit of those providing it. Unfortunately, a free market has meant that until the energy price freeze there was no limit to what could be charged to a customer for energy and utilities. Not only this, but before the ESG, customers certainly felt like they had little choice in the way of charges for energy. It was an arduous procedure and you reminded of this wherever possible.
There’s no such thing as a ‘vintage’ or ‘retro’ energy provider. There are reputations of businesses that will only ever be further smudged over time. Scandals that don’t even involve a particular provider cast a shadow over each of the ‘Big 6’, as customers are becoming more and more apathetic to faceless organisations.
Ironically, it would seem that the choice to turn to smaller or more unknown energy providers is in itself a nostalgic effort in some sense. There are those who want to return to being able to speak to a fellow human being when having a discrepancy with their account. They also know that with smaller businesses comes smaller overheads, a more critical selection of both sales staff and support staff, and more care to ensure that no customer is lost, as one is worth more among a smaller crowd. | 2019-04-21T11:15:06 | https://www.mymoneycomparison.com/last-month-saw-enough-people-to-fill-birmingham-change-energy-providers/ |
I'm lucky enough to work not only with great people (puke, I know) but also in Santa Barbara, California, for long periods of time. It is truly an amazing place. To a Brit it is a typically American place, yet spending considerable periods here you realize that it is atypical in many ways, and actually rather liberal in many ways. Not in a hippy free love liberal way (although you see a good deal of those sorts of people- filthy buggers), but in a very 'british' understated and thoughtful way (e.g. attitudes towards health care and sexual orientation are refreshingly similar to UK). Also the fact you can see celebrities walking up and down the high street (Eva Longoria doing a bit of shopping) or in the zoo (Josh Holloway and missus, remembering what he was up to when he was last in a cage) is such a novelty for those of us Brits who live outside London (I was lucky enough to bump into Sir Christopher Lee in Cardiff once, mostly we just see Derek "off of the weather" Brockway - ask Haley for a funny story about him stropping into a live broadcast she was doing).
Santa Barbara is a very relaxed city, and fortunately the people are not Stepford wife friendly. They share a bit too much, but this is still America, and as long as its not about bodily functions, I can cope.
One of the strange things about the area is that many people are upper middle class. The houses are incredibly expensive to buy. This doesn't mean they're not worth it. In UK most people live in terraced houses. In Santa Barbara most houses are detached or a flat in a complex, and a million dollar house really is worth a million dollars by UK standards. There is just very little in the middle.
This year we've been jammy enough to get two trips out here, and will be spending Christmas here. Naively we thought it would be sunny and possibly hot. We were feeling pretty smug until a few days ago, as UK was going from a picturesque snowy scene to 'Misery at airports as snow hits the getaway' (cf. Daily Mail - hate-filled, sensationalist dross that it is therefore no link). That was until a storm of tropical proportions hit the Santa Barbara coast. Fortunately we are British and never travel anywhere without an umbrella, sensible shoes and a foldable kagool.
Its all jolly fun until the snow stops you from getting home. We are out here with Stuart (colleague and friend) who was meant to be catching a flight tonight, but because of "Snowmageddon" is stranded with us (I bet the bookies in the UK are wishing they'd not put high stakes on it being a White Christmas this year). He's going to be in rainy Santa Barbara for at least another day and will be able to experience on of Southern California's most infamous cultural icons: The Breakfast Nazi, at the Franciscan Inn.
What fun! More weather based non-sense to follow. In the meantime time here is a lovely Christmas tree, taken with my iPhone and some great High Dynamic Range software. | 2019-04-20T12:37:53 | https://www.darkmattersheep.uk/blog/california-when-it-drizzles/ |

Somalilandsun – we hail the government for reaching a formal agreement with our worthy Ethiopian neighbor on the official use of our Berbera port as one of her gateways for importation of her goods.
The move, well put by Amb. Aden as a historic event whose idea was mooted ove r a century ago, is indeed a dream come true for the peoples of both countries.
Better still, the Ethiopian rep at the signing put it in an even better phrase.
Mr. Mekonnen said that the important aspect of the historic moment was to put the agreement in motion, thus, to implement it.
We, as all patriots in the country, should not only be joyous at this moment but to support the government to see to it that the populations of both countries reap maximum benefits.
The fruits of the agreement, as all informed acknowledge, are for the positive economical aspects to and for both countries.
This is, but a manner, of recognition, as excellently put by our minister of commerce Hon. Eng. Hussein over a month ago at the function of the laying of the cornerstone of the Ethiopian Berbera Port Yard. | 2019-04-19T12:37:42 | http://www.somalilandsun.com/somaliland-sl-ethiopia-agreement-is-a-milestone-event/ |

Close to 60 percent of new UC Irvine undergraduates are first-generation collegians. A faculty outreach program aims to let these students know that many instructors are 'first-gens' too.
As new UC students unpack belongings, settle into classes and get their first taste of campus life, many are embarking upon an experience that is new not only to them but to their parents and extended families as well.
At UC Irvine, some faculty have hit upon a way to help these students feel more at home: highlighting their own experiences as first-generation students.
Roughly 25,000 freshman and transfer students — about half of the new California students arriving on UC campuses this term — are among the first in their families to go to college. For these students, statistics show, the first weeks of school can be especially daunting. New undergrads are learning to find their way not only across a maze of walkways and campus greens, but through the unfamiliar landscape of academic culture. Those who don’t have ready mentors in parents and family are particularly prone to feeling out of place.
The First Generation Faculty Initiative aims to make the transition easier by connecting students to mentors who have walked in their shoes.
The effort seeks to make the first-generation population more visibile on campus, and also provides training to help faculty relate to and support first-generation students, who currently account for 60 percent of new Irvine undergraduates.
Simply having first-generation faculty members identify themselves – by wearing T-shirts, telling their stories and letting students know they’ve “been there” – can boost students’ confidence and help them gain their footing on campus, Dennin said.
Shifting students’ perspectives even slightly can have a noticeable effect on performance: Recent research has found that a student’s sense of belonging can be a greater predictor of academic success than family income, SAT score or high school grade point average.
Officials also hope the effort will have another effect: to demystify the lofty figures at the head of classroom, and cast them as people students can seek out for advice.
“All students can see is that we are these grown-ups with Ph.D.s attached to our names,” said history and Chicano/Latino Studies professor Anita Casavantes Bradford, who developed the idea for the program.
Professor Anita Casavantes Bradford, who helped start the UC Irvine program, says students who know her story are more likely to come to her for advice.
As soon as they found their bearings, the students’ performance began improving. By the third year, they were thriving, but their grades from that difficult first year continued to dog them.
Casavantes Bradford wanted to develop an approach that could help students avoid those early pitfalls.
She hit upon the idea for the initiative as a simple way to engage faculty to play a more active role in helping students find mentors and community, and to ease the stigma of asking for help.
In addition to highlighting their own experiences, the effort helps faculty be more attuned to the needs and perspectives of first-generation students. Take office hours, Dennin said.
“Every teacher starts their first class by announcing when they have office hours. But half the class may have no idea what that means,” he said. Fewer still know how important it is to go to office hours – not only to ask questions, but to build relationships that can further their academic career.
“Maybe you don’t just mention office hours, but list all of the reasons to go — and one of those is just to get to know your professor,” Dennin said.
The initiative also trains faculty to support students in other ways, such as by sharing tips and survival skills, from budgeting enough time for schoolwork (40-50 hours a week) to forming study groups and accessing tutoring services.
More than 60 faculty members have signed on so far. Many are first generation, but others simply want to know how to better support this growing segment of UC’s student body.
“What we’re trying to do doesn’t necessarily require radically new pedagogical approaches, or completely new curriculum. It also doesn’t require faculty to take significant time away from research,” Bradford said. | 2019-04-24T00:46:00 | https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/5429/first-generation-students-hear-faculty-who-have-been-there |
Donate to support this grassroots legal challenge!
Washington, DC — Lawyers with the Campaign to Fight Toxic Prisons and the Abolitionist Law Center (ALC) have filed an unprecedented environmental lawsuit against the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) this week on behalf of federal prisoners from across the country. Plaintiffs in the case say they were not properly informed about the $444 million dollar plans to construct a new federal prison on top of a former coal mine, next to an active mine and coal sludge pond, which could house them in the near future. Twenty-one prisoners are listed as plaintiffs, along with the ALC.
Pictures of proposed prison site and relevant surrounding areas can be found below.
The lawsuit comes after more than three years of a controversial Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process conducted by the BOP and the consulting firm, Cardno. Initial public comments submitted by attorney Emily Posner in 2017 on behalf of the ALC can be found here.
The lawsuit states that federal prisoners should have been considered as parties with legally-required access to EIS documents, as required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The EIS process outlines a wide range of social and environmental impacts, including potential health risks and alternatives to construction, which prisoners are uniquely situated to provide insight on and particularly vulnerable to the results stemming from the final EIS approval which occurred earlier this year.
The prisoners are asking the courts to halt progress on the plan until they have received access to documents for review and comment.
Prisoners aren’t the only ones concerned about the facility. Letcher County resident Elvenia Blair, who lives close the proposed prison, has been contesting the prison for several years.
Blair is also a board member of Friends of the Lilley Cornett Woods and North Fork Watershed, one of multiple local organizations which have expressed concerns about the impact of prison construction.
Abolitionist Law Center is a public interest law firm organized for the purpose of abolishing class and race based mass incarceration in the United States. ALC has participated in every NEPA public comment period related to BOP’s proposed prison in Letcher County, KY.
Campaign to Fight Toxic Prisons conducts grassroots organizing, advocacy and direct action to challenge the prison system which puts prisoners at risk of dangerous environmental conditions, as well as impacting surrounding communities and ecosystems by their construction and operation.

1 - i have the same problem as Siskoo with pt-br language file, the about box gets messed up too, i'm sending a pic to show you.
2 - a small problem: 1964 doesnt save the main window, dialog boxes and columns positions.
3 - i'm waiting the fix for the language files to see if i need to report about the "about" dialog box and other windows need to get bigger to fully display the translations.
4 - idk if this will change after my report but i need to try, i compressed better the files of 1964 from 3,25 MB with zip to 1,91 MB with 7zip, since yabause changed to 7zip i believe it wouldnt hurt to ask for that here.

Thank you for, I'll try and take all your changes into consideration and hopefully fix up all problems with translations when I get to starting over on the source code.
Nice job Felipe. Of course I don't understand anything of it but still, good job.
Martin - thanks, and it's good to see you back after all these years, even cooler the fact you kept the forum even being absent.
Death2Droid - i didnt say this in my previous post: could you please change the color of the toolbar? black is really horrible and it would be cool if it was possible to remove it like in the windows programs.

Hello everyone. It's been some time since I've been posted on these boards, or followed up on N64 emulation (about 6 years!). I've looked some stuff up here and there, but recently my interest has been renewed and I've been working on my N64 config list again. There's been some nice changes to some stuff over the years, but as I can see nothing is close to perfect so maybe there is still some use for it to the public.
But I didn't post to publicize, I just had to have an intro hehe. I really want to take the time to say nice work on this community updated version of 1964. I really like the integrated overclocking feature that was first in 1964 Ultrafast and the overall look of the emulator. I want to share some possible bugs or anomalies that I found while testing it out with some games, maybe it will help improve it in the long run.
I am using a build of r112 (latest on the Google code site).
First off some plugin concerns.
- Revision number in the graphics plugins when clicking "About" in the Plugin selection menu seems off. Latest in "community version" says r94, in "DX9" plugin says r46. Shouldn't this number match the revision of the emulator or do the plugins have separate revisions?
- The DX9 version of the plugin, has an option to choose OGL as the Render Engine. Is this normal?
- In the plugin named "community version", the render engine cannot be selected, and uses DX by default. To me, this seems like the reverse of how it should be (DX9 version only having DX, and the community version a selectable API).
- 1964 Audio v2.7 does not work in Project64 1.6 and can cause strange behavior (didn't try older ones). Sometimes a "lag spike" happens to my entire computer every few seconds. This isn't really an issue because it was made for 1964 and there are other alternatives for PJ64. Also does not seem to remember settings. I open it up, check "Synchronize speed to audio", hit Close, reopen its still unchecked. Last, the "About" page could use an update .
- UI seems a little off (I'm on Win7 64, dunno about other OS). The menu bar and shortcut bar overlap each other.
- Every Jabo's Direct3D plugin fails to work (even the oldest ones). Error "InitiateGFX called without CloseDLL", followed by a crash. This does not happen in official builds of 1964.
- Can no longer manually change the counter factor through "ROM Properties", now has to be done through ini. I don't see the need for this change, sometimes changing the CF on the fly can help find a better setting (unless there is something at work here that I don't understand).
1. Choose any graphics plugin.
4. Change graphics plugin, hit OK.
5. Try to enter video settings, nothing.
That's all I can remember for now, there may have been a few other things but these are what stuck out to me. Anyway, great work on this update so far. Overclocking makes some games like A Bug's Life and Duck Dodgers seem like a whole new experience. Especially Duck Dodgers, FPS was awful in everything until OCing!
Edit: Just remembered one more bug. In either version of the graphics plugin (requires DirectX Render Engine setting in DX9 version), if Full Screen Anti-Aliasing is set to anything higher than 1X, then the emulator crashes when trying to load a game. For some reason it does not happen in Project64, but it happens in every other emulator I tried. Three error messages pop up in a row.
Error message 2: Generic application error. Enable debug output for detailed information. This program will now exit.
Error message 3: Failed to get render, g_pRender is NULL.
Home for my N64 Configuration List and other emulation stuff.
Thanks for all the bug reports, I currently reccomend not to use the current 1964 Video (Rice Video) and 1964 itself. My changes have done more harm then help, I'm currrently slowly working on improved versions... but it might be awhile, I have a lack of enthusiasm at the moment, but I am hoping to get things done eventually.
Take all your time, some devs need a break before to relaunch a project.
I wouldn't go as far as not using it at all, there are some games that run very nice in the latest rev, and stable enough to play. From my testing, here is a small list of games (so far) that have a substantial frame rate boost or see improvements in 1964 v1.2 and still work great. I only use the DX9 version of the plugin for testing since it has the option of DX9 or OGL for rendering.
Obviously this list is very incomplete, and I hope to have a complete list of games in time. I figured it would be nice to post it anyway so others can see which games benefit. There are also many games that see improvements with the 1964 Video plugin over the older versions of plugins based on the Rice source. I won't post a list because it would probably be huge, my N64 list shows which games I tested like the plugin over other plugins (or equal to ). And of course no rush in releases, as of right now its already awesome for at least this list of games, which shows great improvements or enhancements over other emulators.

Ok, I'm making some small progress, I've reverted the codes back to their bases and done some fairly basic cleanups, going to try reimplementing some of the functions more better, like re-adding the speedup hack, but not removing the counter-factor in the progress.
Also, just a thought, how many people actually use the toolbar in 1964?? | 2019-04-22T20:21:23 | http://www.emutalk.net/threads/53648-1964-1-2(Unofficial)-Release-Topic/page3?s=f5902ed2a106cd0ebc8eee473f2c6a87 |
The children started the day with a HUGE breakfast and weren't up quite so early this morning!
The weather has been fantastic and the children thoroughly enjoyed being scientists this morning. Ice-creams all round!
The children have paid a visit to the Gift & Sweet Shop and climbed aboard the coach for home at 2pm. Estimated time of arrival home is 6.30pm.
Very tired but extremely happy children will greet their parents later. | 2019-04-19T22:49:07 | https://www.curyschool.co.uk/website/butlins_day_3_-_coming_home/357758 |
4 Easy Steps To Closing Your Energy Efficient Shutters This Winter, Jacksonville, FL!
Every January, residents in Jacksonville are finding steps to get maximum energy efficiency for their homes. And it takes more than a simple window treatment. Increasing energy efficiency begins with the right window treatments. And that’s shutters - the right shutters.
Completely closed, the energy efficient indoor shutters maintain the space at a comfortable temperature. Here are 4 easy steps to closing Polywood® plantation shutters for maximum energy efficiency this winter, Jacksonville, FL!
Window fashions such as shades, curtains, and blinds are fabricated from elements that are not good insulators. Most of the materials are porous, and they leave a gap around the fringe of the material, letting in cold air in the wintertime. Plantation shutters are without a doubt the most energy efficient window treatment you can find in Jacksonville, FL. This is due to the frame which seals every corner of the window and the rigid material the shutter elements are built from.
Polywood plantation shutters are fashioned with a frame that seals off the sides of the window. They’re manufactured from a solid polymer, and come with exclusive weatherstripping. This means Polywood shutters reduce airflow by up to 30%. And insulate 70% better than a comparable solid wood shutter. This makes for the most energy efficient shutters.
In case the shutter panels are open on either side of the window, easily swing them toward the window pane to cover it. This will create an extra barrier to the cold temperatures of Jacksonville winters.
While shutting the shutters, don’t forget to interlock the weatherstripping. This is an exclusive feature that only comes on Polywood shutters from Sunburst Shutters Jacksonville. The weatherstripping is found on the vertical sides of the panels where they meet in the middle of your window. Make sure the weatherstripping material interlocks to block off light and air.
Most plantation shutters have a front mounted tilt rod. Press the tilt rod toward the window so that the shutter louvers tilt up. Once the louvers are adjusted all the way up, the indoor shutters are effectively shut. Now, the louvers block light and air, thanks to how the Polywood louvers are designed.
For rear mount tilt rods, push one of the louvers up and the rest of the louvers will follow.
Now that the louvers are in an upward position, press the tilt rod into the mousehole in the shutter frame. This setup guarantees the louvers are shut all the way. With the louvers completely vertical, the shutters can block more temperature and light.
Watch this video for a demonstration of how to close your Polywood shutters to maximize energy efficiency.

Two weeks ago I came face to face with a tough decision (tough at the time) when Cathay Pacific announced a dirt cheap round-trip, non-stop flight from Chicago to Hong Kong.
I haven’t been back to Hong Kong since I left in 1998, pregnant with my first child and married to someone who is no longer my husband.
Given those factors, fourteen years is a long time.
But when my mom (who is vacationing in Africa as I type) offered to stay with the kids provided we bring in some help during the day, I called my husband at work and told him of my ‘crazy’ plan. His answer?
So we’re going to Hong Kong in three months. Although I never thought I wouldn’t go back, I never dreamed it would happen before my kids were old enough to get themselves dressed and fed. I couldn’t sleep the night I booked the tickets.
Although we’ll only be there for four days, I’m excited to show my husband this gorgeous city through my eyes.
If you had four days in Hong Kong, where would you go?
Great news. Hope you have time to see everything you want to. Let me know if you want a guided tour of the hills!
Thanks so much, Pete! I think walking around the urban areas will be strenuous enough, but I’ll e-mail you about meeting up. We’re going to CUHK one of those days.
Hong Kong has changed a bit in your 14-year absence. I hope your upcoming trip will see you recapture what you loved about the city as well as discover new and exciting things.
BTW, do you actually have that dragon soft toy? It’s so cool!
Thanks so much! I’m anxious to retrace my steps from the 90s to see what’s changed and what’s still there. When I looked at a restaurant list online, I was shocked to see so many that I recognized.
Hong Kong’s only a short flight away, it might as well be on the moon.
I loved “Infernal Affairs”! Back in the 90s, I would do an amateur walking tour of where “Chungking Express” was filmed. Eating is definitely top on our list.
I hope you can get back one day. Maybe Dragon Air will run a special promotion there just like Cathay did here!
Oh Susan I am so excited for you. I left Hong Kong in 1968, did not want to and have wanted to go back ever since. I’m taking my daughter with me and my one hope is that I have not built the place up to such lofty heights that she may be disappointed. I know you will just have the most marvellous time! Can’t wait to see your pics and read your blog when you return. I know your husband will love it. Who wouldn’t? How lucky is he to have the best tour guide possible for the whole trip.
Where would I go if I had only four days? Peak Tram to the top, walk down Lugard Road, No 15 bus to Central, Cat Street, ferry to Macau for the world’s best egg tarts, Ngong Ping (if it’s back in operation), Big Buddah on Lantau, Tram to Stanley, Night Market, Tea at The Pen, IFC Building for lunch on the 102nd floor (great photo op), Cheung Chau, ride the Star Ferry day and night, 8pm laser light show from the harbour….
Your cheeks will be sore from smiling. HAVE FUN!! | 2019-04-25T13:51:36 | http://www.susanbkason.com/2012/02/02/the-road-to-hong-kong/ |

I think they are understaffed (we were told AOS team was tiny) and snowed under with applications. I agree change needs to come from above.
Really interesting discussion! We are about to depart for Oz on a 143 visa (so 60+ and 50+) which I know entitles us to Medicare. My question is - if we have basic health ins. dental, optician, ambulance - can we still use Medicare for all other health related stuff? | 2019-04-18T11:16:24 | https://www.pomsinoz.com/profile/269832-merryweather/ |

This observational, retrospective, single-arm, multi-centre cohort study will use real-world data (RWD) to develop real-world evidence (RWE) of the safety and clinical effectiveness of the Pipeline™ Flex Embolization Device with Shield Technology™ in Australian patients that have received a flow diversion device to treat an intracranial aneurysm (IA). The medical records from 500 procedures completed at Gold Coast University Hospital in Queensland (QLD), Prince of Wales Hospital in New South Wales (NSW), and Sir Charles Gardiner Hospital in Western Australia (WA), will be analysed.
The study will report the risk and likelihood of stroke (ischaemic and haemorrhagic), delayed neurological adverse events and incomplete aneurysm occlusion within sub-groups of the patient cohort and determine the predictive or confounding factors that influence clinical outcomes under pragmatic or 'real-world' conditions.
Methodology summary: Single-arm, longitudinal, retrospective, multi-centre cohort study. A collaboration of Australian Interventional Neuroradiologists will create a data bank of existing clinical and angiographic data extracted from medical records review. The data collection variables are pre-specified using grading scales and clinical assessment with the greatest reliability or significant to to accurately represent patient cohorts receiving treatment within all indications of use. The study will establish a minimum dataset to collect patient socio-demographics, aneurysm characteristics, device characteristics, and clinical outcomes for up to 500 procedures completed using Pipeline™ Flex Embolization Device with Shield Technology™. A framework for data ab The prevalence, severity and outcomes of neurological adverse events of interest and bleeding events will be reported . Independent physician assessments of complete aneurysm occlusion from completed computed tomography scans (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans and Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) procedures will be determined according to the Raymond Roy Occlusion Classification (MRRC), O'Kelly Marotta scale (OKM) for aneurysm occlusion using flow diverting devices and the Consensus grading scale for endovascular aneurysm occlusion up to 12 months post procedure. Assessments of wall apposition and in-stent stenosis (ISS) will also be completed.
Study personnel training; Site visits; remote data monitoring, data audits.
Statistical analysis plan include descriptive statistics and regression models to report prevalence, mortality, time-to-event analyses and estimations of risk; Counts of medical records with insufficient data for analysis or where the patient is identified as 'lost follow-up', this will be reported.
Neurointerventional procedures to treat intracranial (cerebral) aneurysms are minimally-invasive procedures performed by Interventional Neuroradiologists. The physician accesses the arterial system through a blood vessel in the groin followed by the insertion of a catheter. Pipeline™ Flex Embolization Device(s) with Shield Technology™,a flow diversion device, is implanted under high-magnification subtraction fluoroscopy, requiring the use of ancillary devices, such as micro-catheters and guidewires to complete the procedure under general anaesthetic. Procedural heparinisation and preloading with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) using acetyl-salicylic acid and P2Y12 inhibitors such as clopidogrel or prasugrel are required.
Proportion of aneurysms with Grade D1 aneurysm occlusion on the O'Kelly Marotta Scale. Grade D1 indicates completed aneurysms occlusion as seen on the arterial phase of the cerebral angiogram due to 0% filling (better outcome; maximum score). Grade A1 represents total filling of the aneurysm (>95%) as seen on the arterial phase of the cerebral angiogram (worse outcome; minimum score).
Proportion of aneurysms with Grade D1 aneurysm occlusion on the O'Kelly Marotta Scale; Grade D1 indicates completed aneurysms occlusion as seen on the arterial phase of the cerebral angiogram due 0% filling (better outcome; maximum score). Grade A1 represents total filling of the aneurysm (>95%) as seen on the arterial phase of the cerebral angiogram (worse outcome; minimum score).
Proportion of aneurysms with Class 1 occlusion. Class 1 indicates complete obliteration of the aneurysm neck, representing complete aneurysm occlusion (better outcome; maximum score). Class 3b indicates residual aneurysm with contrast along aneurysm wall, representing substantial blood flow into the aneurysm, poor occlusion of aneurysm neck (worst outcome; minimum score).
Proportion of aneurysms with Grade 2-4 ISS; ISS is a focal area of parent cerebral vessel narrowing caused by thrombosis or intimal hypoplasia. Grade 0 indicates no ISS is present (better outcome, maximum score). Grade 4 indicates occlusion of the cerebral parent vessel (worst outcome, minimum score).
Proportion of aneurysms with Grade 2-4 ISS; ISS is a focal area of parent cerebral vessel narrowing caused by thrombosis or intimal hypoplasia.Grade 0 indicates no ISS is present (better outcome, maximum score).

In the episode that aired yesterday evening at 10pm on Channel 5, viewers saw some of the contestants take part in a challenge while wearing our cutting-edge eye tracking glasses. The HD-quality glasses monitored and recorded the eye movements of the housemates in the Eyes on the Prize task, as Big Brother challenged contestants to stare intently at a certain item they would like to win. With treats on offer including a takeaway, a private party and a tub of protein shake, each housemate was challenged to hold their gaze until the end of the task in order to claim the prize. However, diversions, such as a 17-foot-long snake and a burlesque dancer, were used in an attempt to distract contestants and avert their attention away from the prize.
Our eye tracking glasses were used to assess exactly if and when the housemates’ eyes moved away from the objects, and provided a glimpse of their point of view during the task. Our MD, Guy Redwood, and one of our usability practitioners, Emma Travis, were on hand to fit and adjust the glasses for use by the contestants. | 2019-04-20T15:05:25 | https://www.simpleusability.com/inspiration/2012/06/big-brother-is-watching-you-eye-tracking-glasses/ |

The human population growth in developed countries is stabilizing while that of developing countries including Nigeria is still increasing rapidly. Thus, the search for alternative sources of protein to meet up the population challenge is imperative. Economic indices indicate that as this population trend continues, more people are to be fed. Agricultural outputs needs to be increased rather than through food importation into such countries (Allen, 1993). In order to maximize food production and meet protein requirements in Nigeria, viable options need to be explored and evaluated (Owen et al., 2008). Among such alternatives is the use of livestock species that are yet to play a major role in animal production within these countries.
Fast-growing livestock such as rabbits possess a number of features that might be of advantage in the small holder subsistence – type integrated farming in developing countries. Rabbit farming in Nigeria is faced with myriad of problems, which have resulted to a gross shortage of meat to meet up the population challenge in our country (Nworgu, 2007). The growth rate of the Nigerian agricultural sector is below the potentials of natural and human resources due to high cost ofagricultural inputs, poor funding of agriculture, inadequate functional infrastructural facilities, inconsistencies of government agricultural policies, inadequate private sector participation, poor mechanized farming and little or no adoption of some simple agricultural technologies developed by scientists (Nworgu, 2007). In Nigeria, consumption of animal protein remains low at about 6.0-8.4 g/head/day which are far below the 13.5g per day prescribed by the WHO (Egbunike, 1997).
Rabbit production is a veritable way of alleviating animal protein deficiency in Nigeria (Ajala and Balogun, 2004). The rabbit has immense potentials and good attributes which include high growth rate, high efficiency in converting forage to meat, short gestation period, and high prolificacy, relatively low cost of production, high nutritional quality of rabbit meat which includes low fat, sodium, and cholesterol levels. It also has a high protein level of about 20.8% and its consumption is bereft of cultural and religious biases (Biobaku and Oguntona, 1997). The presence of caecal microbes enables the rabbit to digest large amounts of fibrous feed as most non ruminant species cannot (Taiwo et al., 1999).
1. What are the management procedures adopted by peasant farmers in Takum L.GA in rabbit production?
2. Does rabbit production influence socio economic development in Takum local government area, Taraba State?
3. What are the factors affecting rabbit production in Takum L.G.A, Taraba State?
4. Is the management of rabbit production in Takum L.G.A, Taraba State effective?
5. What are potentials and problems that may be envisaged in rabbit production in Nigeria?
The study on the management of rabbit production will be of immense benefit to the peasant farmers in Takum local government area of Taraba State in the sense that the study will try to establish a relationship between the management procedure in rabbit production and socio economic development in Takum local government area of Taraba State. The study will also serve as a repository of information to other researchers that desire to carry out similar research on the above topic. Finally the study will contribute to the body of the existing literature on rabbit production in Nigeria.

In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients except salt, pepper and the pork. Whisk in 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Transfer the marinade to a large resealable plastic bag and add the pork. Seal the bag and turn to coat; set in a baking dish and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the oven to 425° and set a rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer the pork to a work surface; discard the marinade. Fold the pork under itself, into thirds if necessary, and tie with string to form a neat roll. Season all over with salt and pepper and set it on the rack.
Roast the pork for 30 minutes, until lightly browned. Reduce the oven temperature to 375° and roast for 1 hour and 30 minutes longer, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 160°; transfer to a carving board and let rest for 30 minutes. Discard the string before slicing across the grain. | 2019-04-18T15:28:42 | https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/mojo-marinated-pork-shoulder |

The Singapore Slingers will face a big test of their character in the next few weeks.
Their hopes of finishing top at the end of the Asean Basketball League (ABL) season to secure top seeding and home-court advantage for the play-offs suffered a blow last week when they lost 64-62 to the Alab Pilipinas.
With a 10-4 win-loss record, the Slingers are second behind Hong Kong Eastern Long Lions.
To add to their woes, forward Wu Qingde is ruled out of the season with a knee injury, while small forward Mitchell Folkoff is also sidelined with a shoulder problem. Perhaps the biggest blow for coach Neo Beng Siang is the loss of big centre Justin Howard for at least two games due to a curved toe.
What the Slingers will sorely miss is not just his 2.11-metre physical presence, but his outstanding averages of 23.8 points and 17.6 rebounds per game.
To help ease the injury situation, the Slingers moved swiftly to secure the services of former Chicago Bulls and Portland Trail Blazers centre Luke Schenscher of Australia on a 10-day contract, while Howard will be played on the reserve list.
The 2.16m-tall Schenscher most recently played for Townsville Heat in the Queensland Basketball League last year.
"We have to thank national coach Frank Arsego for his connections in helping us sign Luke on such short notice," said Neo.
"Luke arrived in Singapore at 4.30pm on Thursday and, after checking in, he went straight to training with us at 7pm.
"He may be 34, but he has played in the NBA before and we are happy to have his physical presence."
The Slingers will also have to fight fatigue.
Not only are they the only team in the league to have played overtime in four matches, they also need two days to get to Taiwan to take on Kaohsiung Truth tomorrow due to flight issues.
"Our trip to Taiwan is going to be a long one. Flights to Kaohsiung are sold out, so we have to fly to Taipei before taking a train down south," said Neo.
"It is tiring, but we are still going for a win, no excuses."
After making a blistering start to the season, the Slingers have lost four games - all agonisingly by just two points - to relinquish control at the summit of the ABL table.
But Neo and his men are not giving up on top spot without putting up a good fight.
He said: "We have to hope Alab Pilipinas beat Eastern in at least two of their three remaining encounters, but we also have to win our last six games.
"Our decision-making was lacking in some games.
"We became too attacking-minded and were poor in defence. We also shot poorly, so we have been working on shooting in our morning sessions and our defence in the evening.
"I need every player to contribute consistently. If we can achieve that, we believe we can still finish first." | 2019-04-24T02:10:15 | https://www.tnp.sg/sports/basketball/injury-hit-slingers-turns-former-nba-centre |
Recently, a unification of the diagnosis of sleep apnea (SA) and titration of continuous positive airway pressure therapy into a single night has potentially increased convenience of patients and economy of the sleep testing process. However, early diagnoses on the response of autonomic nervous system (ANS) would be fundamentally as well as clinically important. The goal of this study is to provide a diagnosing ANS scheme applied in a single-night process based upon heartbeat indices.
Heartbeat indices R+ and R− were proposed for characterizing the activation degree of parasympathetic (R+) and sympathetic (R−) tone under different time windows (TWs), where the minimum and maximum TWs were 60 minutes and total time spent in overnight (ON) sleep, respectively. We also performed the correlation analyses on respiratory indices (AHI and DB) vs. heartbeat indices (R+ and R−). Analyzed subjects including SA patients as well as controls were obtained from Apnea-ECG Database, which has been publicly released in PhysioNet.
The correlation coefficients for R+(ON) vs. R+(60 min) and R−(ON) vs. R−(60 min) were, respectively, equal to 0.997 (P<0.001) and 0.998 (P<0.001). Heartbeat and respiratory indices exhibited significant relationships (P<0.01). The stable AUC profile along different TWs exhibited both high sensitivity and specificity for R+ and R− indices, where AUC (mean ± SD)=0.9342 ± 0.0027 for R+ and AUC (mean ± SD)=0.9007 ± 0.0155 for R−.
We suggest that a unification of those cardiorespiratory indices (AHI, R+, and R−) would be clinically important for SA patients in a single-night polysomnography.
It is known that undiagnosed sleep disorders, particularly sleep apnea (SA), increase healthcare costs and are related with cardiovascular morbidity , psychiatric disorders , cognitive impairments , reduced work performance and occupational injuries . Although the pathogenic effects are complex in SA, it is believed that autonomic imbalance should be involved . Two-overnight polysomnography (PSG) for the diagnosis of SA and titration of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy remains the gold standard practice in a sleep laboratory. Recently, a unification of the diagnosis (stage 1) and CPAP titration (stage 2) into a single night has potentially increased convenience of patients and economy of the sleep testing process. However, new diagnostic methods have been developed because of low accessibility and high cost of PSG, such as cyclic variation of heart rate (CVHR) [5,6].
Apnea/hypopnea index (AHI), the number of apnea and hypopnea episodes during 1 hour of overnight sleep, is a well-accepted measurement for diagnosing the severity of SA patients. Normal, mild, moderate, and severe stages are classified as AHI <5/hr, 5/hr to <15/hr, 15/hr to <30/hr, and ≥30/hr, respectively. A recent study suggested that AHI from the first 2 hours (2hr- AHI) and 3 hours (3hr-AHI) of sleep correlated strongly with the overnight- AHI (ON-AHI) . These findings would be helpful for early diagnoses in stage 1.
CVHR is resulted from the cardiorespiratory interaction during episodes of SA, which consists of bradycardia during apnea followed by abrupt tachycardia on its cessation. Therefore, it would be expected that heartbeat indices could replace the target index AHI to be screening tools for the severity of SA. In addition, if these effective heartbeat indices can be obtained from the first time window (TW) of sleep, like the performance of AHI, it would be beneficial to significantly reduce cost of SA patients. Owing to that, the discovery of heartbeat indices to replace AHI has been an attractive/important topic for a long time . Nevertheless, early diagnoses on autonomic nervous system (ANS) would be fundamentally as well as clinically important for SA patients in the sleep testing process. In this study, we will provide a diagnosing ANS scheme applied in a single night before treatment. Heartbeat indices R+ and R−, previously proposed for characterizing the activation degree of parasympathetic (R+) and sympathetic (R−) tone in time domain, would be potential tools for early diagnoses on autonomic imbalance in stage 1. In addition, the relationship between heartbeat indices and associated clinical variables will be discussed in details. The detailed calculations of R+ and R− indices can be found .
Three groups of subjects in stage 1 were considered in this study. Apnea (class A), mild-to-moderate apnea (class B), and control (normal, or class C) subjects were classified according to AHI. Our analyzed data including 40 recordings in class A, 10 recordings in class B, and 20 recordings in class C were obtained from Apnea-ECG Database, which has been publicly released in PhysioNet . These subjects were 57 men and 13 women between 27 and 63 years of age. It should be noted that the Apnea-ECG Database also provided, in additional to AHI, the information of disordered breathing (DB) which counts the total time duration of apnea and hypopnea in the overnight sleep. Table 1 provided demographic characteristics of SA patients and controls.
n= the number of recordings; SD, standard deviation; Length, the time duration of overnight sleep. The significant threshold was P<0.05.
Table 1: Demographic characteristics of SA patients and controls.
The demographic data were compared between the three groups using one-way ANOVA. Significant differences were considered when p was less than 0.05. Concerning sensitivity and specificity analyses for apnea (Class A) and control (Class C) groups based upon results of heartbeat indices, areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (i.e., AUC value) for different TWs were calculated. The correlation studies (r value) in between heartbeat indices (R+ and R−) and clinical variables (AHI and DB) for all analyzed subjects were performed, where the significant threshold was P<0.05.
R+ and R− indices as a function of the first TW of sleep will be calculated. The minimum TW was 60 minutes in this study, then adding 20 minutes for the next calculation, and finally reaching to the total time spent in overnight (ON) sleep. If an index is independent of TW, it would be expected to potentially become a diagnostic tool. Therefore, the calculation procedure will ensure that whether R+ and/or R− are robust or not.
The scatter plots of Figure 1(a) and 1(b) illustrate, respectively, the relationships of R+(ON) vs. R+(60 min) and R−(ON) vs. R−(60 min) for all analyzed subjects, where the straight line was the best fitting line. The correlation coefficients (r) for R+(ON) vs. R+(60 min) and R−(ON) vs. R−(60 min) were, respectively, equal to 0.997 (P<0.001) and 0.998 (P<0.001). R+ (mean ± SD) and R−(mean ± SD) indices as a function of time window for apnea (class A, cross) and control (class C, circle) subjects were shown in Figures 2(a) and 2(b), respectively. In addition, the corresponding AUC value (triangle) for the differentiation of apnea and control subjects was depicted for each time window.

Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the relationships of our heartbeat indices (R+ and R−) and respiratory indices (AHI and DB) for all analyzed subjects. There were five scatter plots in Figure 3 including (a) AHI vs. DB (r=0.884, P<0.001), (b) AHI vs. R+(ON) (r=0.432, P=0.002), (c) AHI vs. R−(ON) (r=0.453, P<0.001), (d) DB vs. R+(ON) (r=0.400, P=0.004), and (e) DB vs. R−(ON) (r=0.431, P=0.002).

Figure 4: Scatter plots of (a) AHI vs. R+(60 min), (b) AHI vs. R−(60 min), (c) DB vs. R+(60 min), and (d) DB vs. R−(60 min), where the straight line was the best fitting line in each panel and the significant threshold was P<0.05. r, correlation coefficient.
As for Figure 4, there were four scatter plots including (a) AHI vs. R+ (60 min) (r=0.444, P=0.001), (b) AHI vs. R−(60 min) (r=0.466, P<0.001), (c) DB vs. R+(60 min) (r=0.411, P=0.003), and (d) DB vs. R−(60 min) (r=0.445, P=0.001).
Figures 1 and 2 demonstrate that both R+ and R− were robust for early diagnosing autonomic overactivity in SA patients during stage 1, where R+(60 min) and R−(60 min) were strongly correlated with R+(ON) and R−(ON), respectively. In particular, both R+ and R− were not sensitive to TW, thus our heartbeat indices displayed a nonlinear characteristic, rather than the traditional Fourier transform for exploring the interplay of parasympathetic and sympathetic tone. Besides, the stable AUC profile along different TWs exhibited both high sensitivity and specificity for R+ and R− indices, where AUC (mean ± SD)=0.9342 ± 0.0027 for R+ and AUC (mean ± SD)=0.9007 ± 0.0155 for R−.
The possible mechanisms to impact on the activation of ANS would be complicated in sleep. For example, quiet sleep can be characterized by concurrent vagal activation and sympathetic withdrawal. This kind of autonomic alternations is totally different in the rapid eye movement stage [10,11]. Periodic leg movements (PLMs) can make the similar arrhythmias pattern as that of SA. In well-controlled clinical settings people found that the efficiency of automated SA detection by heartbeat will be strongly reduced for subjects with a higher PLM index . Owing to those possible factors related with the response of ANS, heartbeat and respiratory indices in Figures 3 and 4 exhibited lower correlation coefficients, however, significant relationships were still observed.
Based upon and our present findings, the minimum time spent for diagnosing the severity as well as autonomic imbalance of SA patients in stage 1 should be chosen as 2 hours, where cardiorespiratory indices including 2 hr-AHI, R+(120 min), and R−(120 min) would be considered. Because the total sleep time is roughly equal to 8 hours, thus CPAP therapy can be performed for the next 6 hours. Therefore, reduction of evaluation time on important cardiorespiratory indices would be definitely helpful for the next treatment of SA patients in a single-night process.
To conclude, in this study an overall estimation on ANS by our proposed heartbeat indices R+ and R− would be potentially applied to SA through early diagnoses on autonomic imbalance in the sleep testing process. Although both heartbeat indices cannot replace AHI to become diagnostic methods for the severity of SA, however, a unification of these cardiorespiratory indices would be clinically important in a single-night PSG practice. Moreover, both sympathetic (R−) and parasympathetic (R+) excesses were characterized in SA patients; therefore, SA patients with cardiovascular morbidity would be expected.

What caused the plane to crash though? I must keep this in mind.
Head N and just before the corner, is a passage in the rock wall (with a bush in it). Jump over the bush, follow in and get theCrossbow and Arrows. Hop back out, go right around the corner and jump over to the next ledge to shoot the box there and get the Laser sight.
Go back to the corner and shoot that single crate next to the passage where you got the bow and get the Flares. Go S and look for single boxes, there’s one near the burning boxes, also Flares. Go S again and just passed that tree loop left into the niche for Flares. Proceed S, jump to the ledge and further to the next ledge (at the second jump and to the left are some rock in an opening, later). To the right where all the boxes are is another single one with a Medipack.
To the S is the last one with Flares, turn left (NE) and find the opening in the rock wall, hop over the bushes.
Diary: There seems to be some sort of box hanging from the ceiling up there over the pool of cold water.
It looks like it can be destroyed; maybe if I had a weapon I could shoot it down and see what it contains.
Pick up more Arrows near the skeleton and shoot that box there (aim for the bottom), hop into the freezing water to get the Dynamite and get out real quick. Get out of the cave, go back N and at the jump hop to the right onto the ledge in the niche.
Diary: Upon passing an open rock face, I see a wall that seems fragile enough to blow open. Now if only I had some Dynamite (too late this hint).
Well we have that, so use it while standing at those boulders and get out of there before it blows. Go back in and follow through to an underground river. Shoot the bats and follow the stream to a waterfall, go along the left side and jump over to that ledge with the Medipack, better save first and take a curved running jump and grab the first rope (W). Turn left and swing to jump to the second rope (or directly to that ledge where you can see a skeleton).
For a Secret: turn left and swing to jump into the niche E, go left into the crawlspace and find Secret #1, 2x Arrows. Go back and get to the rope again.
Swing to the ledge with the skeleton (W) and grab the Arrows. Back to the rope and turn right, swing to jump onto the ledge SW and go left around, pick up a small medipack. Go into the passage and just slide, don’t use Ctrl and you’ll land in a lava chamber. Turn left and run into the passage (N); jump over two spike traps and then at the next trap hop into the passage right, jump over a pit and to the pillar in the lava room, leaving that creature behind. Jump to the structure with the skeletons and hop down into the hole, slide down, shoot a bat and go outside. Pick up the Arrows, the camera will stay like this… Turn right (E), left for viewers and walk slowly along the ledge to a steep part where Lara will stop. Hop back and run jump to the corner of the rock walls where you can proceed walking along the edge and another jump over a steep part till you see a cave, jump in there and the level changes.
Chapter 2 – Abandoned Bridge.
For a Secret: Jump left into the niche and get Secret #2, Arrows. Hop back on the slope.
Dive down, at the intersection right, then left and left again (N), climb out at a waterfall and check both sides to grab a small medipack and Arrows. Hop back into the water and swim straight and climb out left. Shoot the bats.
Diary: Wha..what is this? Some sort of road tunnel? Guess I should go look around.
Step out and go right, run to the end, shoot a bat at a pile of snow.
Diary: Darn, this end has snowed in…however there seems to be a place where I can light a fire. Question is… where am I going to get the fire to light it? I should continue to explore.
Trap Galore, get the Torch out.
In this small room, under the skeleton is a Torch, grab that. Head E into the passage;do mind the traps, take a right at the end and come to the boulder room. The path is burning, but there are safe spots between those boulder ramps, stand jumps will get you to the other side. Take a right and jump through the moving blocks. Watch out at the next corner, as more boulders will come after you when you run right down the slope.At the end take a left where you see a stone floor (another beast will come for you) immediately take a right, just follow the passage up and after you jumped up a ridge (the beast will leave you alone here),ignite the Torch at the fire left (if you forget and run out, you are doomed and will have to go back to an earlier savegame…). Run out with the Torch burning and you are back in the tunnel.
Diary: It happened again! I had another one of those visions!...however, I found a Torch which I lit via a fire under a floating corpse.
Go left and ignite the campfire and the snow hill (stand well clear of the fire!). After the flyby, step through the opening. You can drop the Torch.
Diary: Oh wow…What happened here? So many bodies and broken vehicles.
Guess I better go explore and see what I can find.
Shack Key for the Crowbar.
Go straight and pull that dead soldier lying next to those containers away from the Shack Key. A bit further is a skeleton with Arrows. Run back over the bridge, take a right into the snow and follow to a wooden shack.
Diary: There seems to be some sort of shack here, however it seems to be locked… Just my luck.
Maybe I could explore around a bit more to see if there is a key nearby, at least I hope there is.
Open the shack and shoot the dog if possible outside. Pick up a Medipack and a Crowbar.
Diary: Aha! A Crowbar! With this I am sure I can pry open that gate near the side of the road at the tunnel exit.
So, head back to the bridge and straight to that fenced off area, which you can now open. Go left and to the opening in the fence, hang and drop/grab the crack, go right a bit and drop again to land on a ledge.
At the campfire shoot a bat and grab some Arrows at the skeleton, then jump over to the ledge S, go along the one heading S and shimmy along the edge to the end of it, grab Flares and jump S again. Climb the block, stand back before you stand jump to grab the rope W and turn left to swing and jump across to the ledge on the S part of the bridge. Jump and grab W, shimmy around left and pull up, back flip to the ledge and make your way to a small medipack there. Now get to the ledge E bordering the ledge to the tunnel and jump to the rocks.
Grab the Arrows from the skeleton, go left and hop over some boxes in a niche to get a small medipack, then return and go into the tunnel.
For a Secret: Notice the gate left.You’ll have to get into the water under the cages, swim left and into a narrow tunnel NE, up and climb out. Hop to the gate and grab Secret #3, Arrows. Go out the open gate and left.
Jump to that cage and you’ll magically land inside, jump left to the second one and then a straight run jump into the opening (E) (if you happen to get into the water, pull up on a slanted side and back flip into the cage, or use the secret route).
Chapter 3 – The Manor.
Go to the front door (W).
But alas, the door to the manor seems locked; maybe the key is located somewhere nearby?
Left is a closed gate, so go right through the opened one and drop into the water to retrieve the Main Door Key. Go open the front door (keyhole left of it) and step inside.
Go right and left around the stairs is a small table with Flares. Go to the right (N) into the lounge and in the left window is a skeleton with the Servant Key.
Go back and just past the stairs right on the small table NW are Arrows.
The Backdoor Key, the Attic Key.
Then head S into the dining room, right around into the passage to the kitchen, loop left around the corner to a corpse, pull it away and get the Backdoor Key. The back door is in the back of the kitchen on the left (SW); so open it. Step out and go to those graves, the second and deeper one has the Attic Key.
Deadly Basement, Kill the Beasty, a Heart.
Next to the bed are Arrows, in the bathroom left are more Arrows. Next to the bed is a shaft with a ladder, save at the bottom of the ladder and go into the fiery basement, there are 4 boxes of Arrows around, pick them up if you can while dodging the attacks of the Beast (side flipping while standing in the middle did the trick for me). You’ll have to shoot him while dodging his attacks and he will leave behind a Heart. Collect left over Arrows and go back to the ladder.Climb up that way to long ladder and save before you back flip into the bedroom… (After the camera changes view,first go down a bit). Go out to the Hall.
The Attic, the Library Key.
Go to the other end of the hall (N) and open the Attic, go up and shoot some bats. Left around, in the corner are Arrows, 2 more boxes of Arrows along the S side.First go into the E side to get a small medipack and Flares, then go W through the spider web and the gate closes, shoot the Big Spider and go around collecting2x Arrows W and the Library Key SW.
The Library, the Ominous Book.
Leave the attic; go down to the Hall and into the Library (W). In the NW corner is where you can use the Key, the gate a bit to the right opens up. Go in to get the Ominous Book. A Wraith shows up, run out and left to the Hall, right to the Bedroom and into the bathroom in the back to get rid of that wraith while standing in the water.
For a Secret: Go down the stairs, right to the dining room and to the left a bookcase opened up, grab Secret #4, a Medipack and Arrows.
Using the Book and the Heart.
Go to the lounge, N from the stairs and right of the fireplace is that familiar symbol on the floor, place the Book in the bookcase there and the one right of you will open up. Go down to a Chapel and shoot the dogs, stand in front of the symbol on the altar and place the heart, the gate right opens up. Go in and to the open door in the back.
Diary: Whatever I find beyond this door, it’s got to answer the question I am dying to get an answer for!
Chapter 4 – The Catacombs.
Diary: After that strange and evil manor, I can’t imagine for this nightmare to get anymore worse….
Go down the stairs and you’ll fall through, ending up in a Crypt.
Shoot the bat and proceed into that eerie passage, look down the hole in the floor and spot the burner, when it stops hop down backwards and run down SW from the ledge to land on a smaller one in the corner, face NE and run down to land on that symbol tile with the complementary Medipack. Hop to the S and enter, run jump over the breakable ledges leaving some and in the crypt get Arrows from the pedestal (gate opens back) and also a small medipack from the skeleton in the back. Go jump back to the Main chamber and that open gate is to the right (E).
Watch out for the spike traps (lower floor parts)! Hop into the passage, take a right, a left and hop over to get Arrows. There is also a dog roaming around. Out and left and jump around the corner Follow this passage to an intersection and go left, run jump over the wider trap and take a left to get the Medipack there. Turn around and go back a bit, this time go into the passage NE where you see the red light. Shoot the dog and hop into the red hole, swim to the end and go up, grab Arrows from the pedestal and see a gate open up. Swim back and climb out, into the passage, jump back S and left around the corner to where that gate opened. Throw the lever and see a green gate open up in the Main chamber. Go out, left and follow back left to the Main chamber.
Do not try and kill that big guy, but concentrate on the Harpies that will show up, so load explosive arrows…While dodging the bolts from Mr Nasty, shoot at the Harpies and after you killed some, Mr Nasty will leave and the level changes….
Chapter 5 (666) – Hell.
Jumping for the Hellstar Keys.
Walk to the W side and start jumping the ledges, you have to go two ways, left and right to collect the 2Hellstar Keys. I went left first (S) and had to shoot two Harpies along the way, if you really hit them, it takes about 5- 6 normal arrows a piece. So be sure you have them in front of you. The right hand side (N) had one Harpy. When you have both Keys, head in the W direction and open the gate to Hell. Pick up another Crossbow (why), some Arrows and a Medipack. | 2019-04-26T01:52:47 | http://forum.trle.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=30698 |
I am a master tactician. I've directed all my soldiers into the perfect positions.
Sergeant Toussaint L'Overture is huddled behind a beaten-up taxi. Corporal Betsy Ross is watching over him from the rooftops. Corporal Henry David Thoreau is safely holed up inside a nearby shop. The rookie, Susan B. Anthony, is watching the rear. It's perfect.
Ross is the first to go. She's spotted from an adjacent rooftop and catches a hot slug of plasma to the face. I grit my teeth.
Thoreau dies when the entire storefront explodes in a giant fireball. L'Overture was in overwatch, so when an alien sprints out from cover he gets to take a few shots. Misses them all. I massage my temples. The alien shoots L'Overture point blank, taking him out.
Susan B. Anthony survives long enough to get poisoned, slowly dying over the next three turns. Mission failed. All team members dead.
I shout expletives. I pound my fist into my desk.
XCOM: Enemy Within is a significant expansion to one of last year's best games, XCOM: Enemy Unknown—itself a resurrection of the classic strategy series from the 90s.
The Council has waited for your return.
Like developer Firaxis's expansions for its Civilization series, Enemy Within is basically a replacement for Enemy Unknown. Your old save games are useless here, because the new content in Enemy Within is tied right into the campaign. The campaign’s not entirely overhauled, but there are a few new (excellent) missions thrown into the fray and, more importantly, some pretty huge mechanical changes from last year’s game.
There are two main additions to Enemy Within: Exalt and Meld.
Exalt is that group of humans you see in every alien invasion film, standing on the street corner with signs that say, “Judgment is nigh!” and “The aliens are here to save us!” Only evidently Exalt skipped the buy-markers-and-make-signs step and went straight to the buy-guns-and-commit-global-acts-of-terrorism step.
Exalt causes chaos and steals XCOM’s lunch money. Once you’ve been introduced to Exalt (four or five missions into the game) you’ll have to keep an eye out for both alien and human threats. They're terrorists. They want you to lose so the aliens take over the Earth.
Fail to take care of Exalt and they’ll make you pay for it. You could theoretically ignore Exalt and still win, but if you’re able to accomplish that then you’re a much better XCOM player than I.
Before you take down an Exalt terrorist cell there’s an “infiltration” aspect where you send a team member undercover. Unfortunately while it sounds cool, you don’t actually play that part of the scenario—you play the aftermath, when you’re trying to extract your agent and kill the Exalt cell. The undercover aspect is just a timer that shows how long your agent is inaccessible. As a result, Exalt missions are fairly similar to standard anti-alien XCOM missions, only with human characters and human weapons. It’s an interesting story wrinkle in a game light on story, but not a sweeping change.
Meld, on the other hand, can (and probably will) drastically affect the way you play XCOM.
Meld is a new resource, of alien origin. Once you locate some tasty Meld your advisors will bug you to build one of two new facilities back at XCOM headquarters: the Cybernetics Lab or the Genetics Lab.
Meld allows for either genetic or cybernetic enhancements.
In the Cybernetics Lab your soldiers chop off their legs and arms and replace them with bionic limbs, turning into mechs. They’re basically a head in a big metal body, and thus have a fair amount of firepower and armor.
The Genetics Lab is much more refined, but similarly inhuman—you’ll augment your soldier’s genes and turn them into demi-aliens. The upside is your half-alien soldiers will get some great perks, like immunity to panic and the ability to camouflage skin to surroundings.
Build the Genetics Lab and you can splice alien DNA into your soldiers.
The Cybernetics and Genetics Labs are intriguing additions, allowing for a greater breadth of play styles and more team customization.
But I could never adapt to the way Meld is collected, and it led to me feeling angry at Enemy Within (or, honestly, my own skills) more often than I was having fun.
Most maps in Enemy Within are constructed with two Meld canisters—one close to the drop point, and one further away. The canisters are set to self-destruct after a certain number of turns. The easy-to-gather containers seemed to be set around five turns, while the harder containers had (I assume) ten turns.
Enemy Unknown trained me to be careful. Move forward in short bursts. Use Overwatch. Cover each other. Stay safe.
The ever-present clock on those Meld containers changes the game. It makes for riskier play, pushing soldiers forward as fast as possible to hit those canisters.
Meld changes the entire dynamic of how XCOM plays.
And then dying. Because XCOM is much harder when played quickly, and punishes you for overreaching. It makes sense—big risks get big rewards, and those mechs are a pretty big reward. Still, I couldn’t help feeling frustrated every time my entire team died trying to secure some precious Meld, or I saw the counter flip to zero and the canister exploded unopened.
The game hands you enough Meld on a silver platter that you’ll still get to play around with the new tech—those canisters near the start of the level are typically really easy to secure. For a certain type of player, however, the lure of those harder Meld canisters is going to be too tempting to forgo, and only frustration lies down that path (especially in the mid-game where one downed soldier can make the difference between a successful or failed mission).
Who needs arms when you can have robot arms?
The late-game upgrades are also way more expensive, but each recovered canister keeps popping out the same ten Meld. When you’ve got upgrades that cost 70-100 Meld, you’re looking at a lot of grinding for rather incremental rewards. If you’re already an XCOM pro, you probably won’t even bother with those upgrades because you’ll be able to finish the campaign without.
XCOM: Enemy Within is exactly what people who loved Enemy Unknown need: more XCOM, but with just enough of a twist to make things interesting again. Meld and Exalt shake up the formula enough that Enemy Unknown devotees will need to rethink old strategies and take more risks. If your main complaint with Enemy Unknown was that it encouraged a slow, plodding pace, you're going to love how frantic Enemy Within feels.
But me? I’d rather play Enemy Unknown some more. I never even mastered that entry, and as someone who both takes his time in turn-based maneuvering and also feels a need to snag every collectible item on a map, Meld made me frustrated more than it added to my play through. Something to consider.
XCOM: Enemy Within is an incremental update to last year’s fantastic Enemy Unknown that will please those who feel like they mastered the last entry and need a bigger challenge. | 2019-04-18T11:26:31 | https://www.pcworld.com/article/2070832/xcom-enemy-within-review-and-you-thought-it-couldnt-get-harder.html |

This is my 200th post on “Nature Scribe”. That’s something to celebrate, and I want to do it with a set of images – and some words – featuring some of Tasmania’s humble walkers’ huts.
Thanks for being part of my blogging journey. I always appreciate your comments, whether posted or private.
In the coming months I’ll be scribing about nature in parts of Europe, from Scandinavia to Paris; Berlin to the Alps. You can expect a few contrasting thoughts and images on the nature that we’re part of wherever we are on this planet.
Given that this post celebrates huts, it might seem odd to confess that I have something of a love/hate relationship with them. Actually it’s more of a “quite-like/am-slightly-agitated-by” relationship. The agitation comes in part from my allergies to dust and mold. And let’s face it, most huts are ideal breeding places for both of those. Strike one!
Sharing a hut also means sharing snoring. I both give and take on that front! And I can recommend ear plugs. But even that doesn't prevent a certain level of frustration. I have been in a hut with a (snoring) friend who was woken before dawn by a frustrated hut mate shouting at the top of his lungs “WILL YOU SHUT UP!!” Perhaps that's two strikes against huts.
I have also slept rather too close to a couple who were getting more amorous than most of their hut mates would have preferred. They say love is blind, but in this case it was deaf too! Strike three, surely!
So is it three strikes and I’m out of there? Out to my nice quiet tent? Well no, actually. Even if I prefer to sleep in a tent, I do love the sociability of cooking and relaxing in a hut. And so much the more if there’s also a fire or heater in the hut.
Those social exchanges around a flame – even a candle will do – are part of a deep species memory. To be out of the elements, belly full, and sharing stories of the day by a flickering light, is surely an ancient contentment. | 2019-04-24T02:48:41 | http://www.naturescribe.com/2013/05/more-not-so-grand-designs.html |

Here are my top rules for living YOUR best life.
How do you know when you are doing an excellent job as a parent, and more specifically, as a mom? How do you know that what you are doing is the best for your family?
One way that we tend to judge is we judge ourselves based on clips of another person’s life on social media. We look at their lives and make a quick decision about how this person has it figured out.
When you can see, their children looking and smiling at the camera simultaneously, pictures of husbands helping, and he seems to enjoy it, doesn’t even look coerced or bribed. How is this woman doing these things? How is her life so perfect?
Here are my top 5 rules to living YOUR best life.
Do not hinder progress with an unfair comparison of your life. Judging your life based on someone’s on social media is a definite way to hinder progress.
You cannot focus on what you and your family need if you are basing it on someone’s life. Negative thinking and self-doubt will keep you from being present with your life and enjoying the moment.
Do not make social media the standard. Social media offers the opportunity to create a perfect life; things can be photoshopped and made to look perfect.
A screaming match can follow that same picture of the happy husband.
Social media brings out the voyeurism in some people, the ability to view and watch but not participate something we have now become accustomed. It is not real life, and you cannot compare your life to that.
Success is having realistic expectations of what can be done with the tools that you have. Get acquainted with more resources. The most essential and only thing you need to be successful is to acquire and become knowledgeable with the resources that you need.
If you want #winparenting, purchase parenting books, attend parenting classes, read this article, etc. Get the tools that you need to move to the next phase.
You can read tons of parenting books, but not have excellent parenting skills. The information you are receiving from the books will not be useful if you do not put them into practice. Try it to see whether or not it is going to work for you and make adjustments as needed.
When you fail, it is the first step to succeeding. It means that you tried it, and can now you can make a note of how to improve next time. Becoming successful at anything especially as a parent, it must be repeated several times.
Consistency is the best way to achieve success. Parenting changes with each milestone, so what worked previously will not work again, and what did not work. | 2019-04-24T02:58:06 | https://www.psychbytes.com/moms-live-their-best-life/ |
I followed the instructions in the user guide and could not get my computer to detect my camera. Finally when I figured out how to do so, I realized that the user guide was designed for the user who doesn't encrypt his wireless router and does wireless surfing using the most open mode that you can possibly imagine. Hence, I decided to write this little article for the benefit of those who would be struggling like I did to set up the wireless camera in the home.
1 You are using a Linksys Wireless G Internet Video Camera WVC54G with a Linksys Wireless Router WRT54GS.
2 My wireless home network is WEP 128-bit encrypted.
3 You are familiar with configuring the wireless router settings.
4 You are somewhat technically competent or inclined.
5 You understand what I'm writing about.
1 Do not plug the camera power plug to the power socket. Do not plug the network cable for the camera to anything yet.
3 The camera has a default IP address 192.168.1.115. Plug the camera network cable into the computer network (LAN) socket. Then plug in the power plug of the camera into a power socket. The camera LED lights will come on and stop blinking.
4 Using your computer, open up your Internet Explorer web browser and type in the URL http://192.168.1.115. You should be presented with the camera's admin screen. Click on the "Setup" link and a password box is prompted. The default username / password is admin / admin.
a Camera Name: Give your camera a name, e.g. MyWebCam.
b Date, Time, Timezone: Put in the settings accordingly.
c Configuration Type: For convenience, select "Fixed IP Address"
i If your wireless router has WEP encryption, then you need to set the same WEP settings on your camera for SSID, Network Type, and Security Settings. Click on the Enable radio button for Security.
ii If your wireless router has no encryption, then you only need to set SSID, Network Type, and Channel No (optional) to be the same as your wireless router.
6 Click on the [Apply] button to save your settings.
7 For the other settings, like image quality, admin password change and access control for limited users, it would be good if you visit the other pages and change the settings according to your preference. It is important however to change your camera admin password to prevent unauthorized entry.
8 Under the Setup pages, there is a link called "Options". Click that link and change the settings for email alerts if you want. What is important is right at the bottom of the page - a setting called "Alternate Port". Some ISPs block the default http port 80 for some reasons and hence you need to put a setting here at "Alternate Port" so that you can still access your camera remotely from a computer outside your home. Put a number like 8001 or something. Then click the [Apply] button to save the settings.
9 Remove your static IP settings in your computer's network settings and connect it to your router again.
10 Using your Internet Explorer browser, login to your router admin page.
11 Click on the link "Applications & Gaming". You will see the "Port Range Forward" link.
e IP Address: Put in the IP Address of your camera. In the above example, it would be 192.168.1.199.
f Enable: Click on it to check the checkbox.
13 Open your Internet Explorer browser again, you should type in your camera's IP address followed by the alternate port number (e.g. http://192.168.1.199:8001) , and see the camera's home page. If you had set user access control on your camera, you may be prompted for a username/password dialog box when you click on the "View Video" or "Setup" link. If you can see the home page, the connection works.
14 Install the viewer software ( filename: recorder.exe ) that comes with your camera in the set CD.
15 Open your Internet Explorer browser, and type in your camera's IP address followed by the alternate port number (e.g. http://192.168.1.199:8001), and see the camera's home page. If you had set user access control on your camera, you may be prompted for a username/password dialog box when you click on the "View Video" or "Setup" link. If you can see the home page, the connection works.
16 If you want to be able to remember your camera address easily, you can sign up for a free DDNS account at http://www.dyndns.org/ and configure your wireless router to recognize your DDNS domain name.
17 After you have registered an account at DYNDNS, you can configure, in your account, a DDNS domain name and the corresponding WAN IP address of your wireless router.
18 In your Linksys wireless router admin page, click on the link "Setup", followed by "DDNS".
20 To test your connection, open a new browser window and type in your domain name in full including the port number ( e.g. http://mywebcam.dyndns.org:8001 ). If you see the home page of your camera server, then the connection works. | 2019-04-24T04:13:58 | https://www.discovervalue.com/wireless_camera_setup |
During the busy holiday season, retail workers will find their shifts extended to nearly a full day, and in some cases working well into the night depending on if shops decide to stay open. However, these longer hours can take a toll on the body, particularly the joints if you’re constantly standing in one spot, like behind a register.
Consider adding anti-fatigue mats to behind the cash wrap, where employees can stand on them and get joint relief due to the rubber. Additionally, the anti-fatigue mats are a great addition for reducing the dirt and grime that’s typically tracked in with shoes. This will prevent your nice store floors from getting ruined by all the foot traffic. Because of the rubber material, they’re easy to clean, only needing a simple wipe down with a damp cloth.
The holiday season is a busy time for the retail sector, so if there is a spill or a lot of wrapping on the floor, employees will not have to worry about slipping and falling while trying to move between each other and attend to all customers. From both a comfort and safety perspective, anti-fatigue mats are a great addition to the cash wrap station.
Anti-fatigue mats can help when there’s a lot of foot traffic.
If you’re planning to welcome in a lot of visitors during the holiday shopping season, you may want to consider adding more traction to your flooring, as lots of foot traffic can make a floor slippery. Additionally, if weather conditions outside are poor, chances of residue being tracked in is high.
Adding anti-fatigue mats to your entryway and areas of heavy foot traffic is a great precaution to take to ensure that people do not accidentally slip and fall while visiting your store. The rubber mats add traction to the floor and can also absorb moisture without increasing someone’s chances of slipping.
Not only are these mats a great way to promote safety in your shop, they’re also easy to clean. If you find they’re building up residue from all the foot traffic, simply wipe them down with a wet cloth and allow to dry. This no-fuss method is a great alternative to messing up your expensive flooring. Consider having these mats at any entrance and paths that have seen a lot of foot traffic, including behind the register – because the rubber relieves pressure on the joints, which is beneficial for your employees working long hours.
Rubber mats on a restaurant floor can help prevent kitchen spills and are easy to clean.
Working in a restaurant is a fast-paced environment, where everyone needs to be on their feet in the kitchen and serving customers. With a lot of food, beverages and foot traffic wearing down the floor, it can be easy for people to accidentally slip and fall.
In fact, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, slips, trips and falls are a hazard to working in a restaurant, because slippery and wet floors are so common. It’s critical that restaurant managers work to keep their employees safe by adding traction to the floors with anti-fatigue mats, which are rubber so they are not only easy to clean and provide extra cushion to joints of people who are on their feet all day for work.
In addition to adding the rubber flooring of the anti-fatigue mats, it’s a good idea to encourage and educate employees on the importance of proper footwear. According to Food Newsfeed, the best shoes completely cover the feet to protect them from anything that might spill on the job, but also have rubber soles that not only provide support, but also have an extra grip. When doing research, there are certified non-slip shoes that you can point employees to as they’re onboarded.
Anti-fatigue mats are easy to clean when residue is an issue.
Working with certain materials can be not only a hazard for the floor, but a hazard for the respiratory system or skin. It’s important when working with these kinds of materials to make sure the workspace is easy to clean quickly. Anti-fatigue mats can help, as they are rubber so they are easy to clean and can we wiped of excess residue.
Safety and Health Magazine reports that there are a lot of issues that stem from working with wood, so it’s critical that workspaces that deal with the material has proper ventilation to get rid of the wood dust and to frequently vacuum and clean the floors to make sure no dust lingers. By having rubber anti-fatigue mats that are easy to wipe down, you decrease the chances of leaving behind wood dust residue.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration reports that both the skin and respiratory system can have allergic reactions due to wood dust, as well as dryness and irritation. In addition to frequently cleaning, it’s a good idea to make sure your employees are well dressed in clothes that cover their skin and eye and face masks that prevent wood from getting into the eyes and respiratory system. | 2019-04-25T21:41:54 | http://blog.commercialmatsandrubber.com/tag/anti-fatigue-mats/ |

A full, in-depth technical explanation of IP Addresses can be found at Wikipedia.
You can hover over any username in Recent Changes to display the poster’s IP address in the title tooltip.
Compiled (mostly) in Classless Inter-Domain Routing format.
168.150.253.1 http://wheel.dcn.davis.ca.us/ Main DCN server. Does http, smtp, pop, ftp, and shell(ssh and telnet). It is also the secondary DNS server. The ssh service is sort of old, OpenSSH_2.9p2, and doesn't accept public key authentication or sftp. Applications available include screen, lynx, ircII, tin, and gcc.
168.150.253.2 spoke.dcn.davis.ca.us Primary name server.
168.150.253.55 http://asoka.omsoft.com/ One of Omsoft's squid proxies. Most http access from dcn/omsoft users to web servers on the other side of this appears to be coming from here. Shell users on wheel are excepted.
168.150.253.56 http://bala.omsoft.com/ Omsoft's other squid proxy. Used occasionally.
168.150.240.0/24 Omsoft gives static IPs for DSL out of this subnet.
10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16 - These are internal IP addresses and aren't visible on the internet. They usually mean you are behind a firewall or router. See RFC1918.
127.0.0.0/8 = your layer 3 loopback network. Whatever computer you're on, you can contact yourself at any IP in this range. Honest. Wikipedia article. Of course, some OSs are lame and don't implement this correctly and only 127.0.0.1 works as a loopback.
Most WiFi hotspots are on SBC DSL lines, the T-Mobile hotspots are the only ones in Davis with static IPs. — Then what are they?
An easy way to determine your IP address over the web to add an entry is to go to http://www.whatismyip.com/.
Some people just like making lists as a curiosity, similar to spotting trains.
Contrary to public belief, publicly posting your IP address carries no more security vulnerability than having your phone number listed in a telephone directory. (In today's security-paranoid world, the phone book could never be created. And with the increasing popularity of mobile phones and VOIP, the phone book as we know it is on its way out.) IP addresses have been the subject of debate on the wiki because their public display could theoretically afford any malicious script kiddies that use the Wiki the opportunity to attack your computer. On the other hand, they provide yet another interesting bit of Davis trivia.
Also, many ISPs outsource critical components of their dialup modem service to a company based in San Jose, and due to the way their network is set up anyone using such a dialup service anywhere in the state may appear to be in San Jose.
If you'd like to experiment, www.HostIP.info is a free IP address geolocation service. Another relevant source of info is the WHOIS records with RIRs such as ARIN. This page: http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/my-ip-address.ch will show you both geolocation info and WHOIS records for what it perceives to be your IP address.
[Some time in 2007-01] Using HostIP.info, my current IP address shows as close to home (Oakland) as one can reasonably expect - it says that I'm in San Francisco. That's not true, of course, but it's closer than, say, San Jose or Los Angeles. My mother sent me an email this morning from Eureka, California, so I looked up her IP address on the same hostip.info service - it says that IP address is in Avondale Estates, Georgia. Earlier this afternoon, a friend posted an update to a wiki that logs which IP address each contributor was using at the time. I know this person was in Davis, California when he posted his update and that he wasn't using any VPNs or proxies, and yet his IP address shows up as being in Springfield, Ohio. | 2019-04-26T16:02:48 | https://daviswiki.org/IP_Addresses |
Things i have noticed blooming recently around Asheville, NC include Black Haw (Viburnum prunifolium), a Yellow Archangel (Lamium galeobodolon?) Honesty (Lunaria spp.), and Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata). Now down in the Piedmont around Chapel hill, NC the Black Locusts (Robinia pseudoacacia) and Cross Vine (Bignonia capreolata) are going of and the Tulip Magnolias (Liriodendron tulipifera) are starting to bloom as well. How about you?
The last two species above from the Brassicaceae are invasive and potentially edible. Native favorite foods Ramps (Allium tricoccum) are up and Morels (Morchella spp.) are out. Ramps in particular often lead me to think about ethical foraging. i just came across a great article that addresses this concern. It is important to realize both Ramps and Morels have potentially poisonous lookalikes. The intoduced Eurasian nettles are around as well (Urtica dioica). One popular phrase Frank Cook has been know to say is "Eat Something Wild Every Day" What's available for you to live into a saying such as this?
The evolution of plants covered in the next few pages can verge from fascinating to overwhelming. Can anybody really conceive of what 300 million years looks like? Yet we are burning in 300 years petrochemical products that were generated millions of years ago by the deposition of ancient huge Horsetails (Equisetum spp.), Ferns, and Wolfpaws (Lycopodium spp). 300 million and 300 share the same denomination yet the order of magnitude difference is almost beyond human comprehension.
One potentially important lesson is that some plant groups have significantly more history, tenacity and adaptive ability on this earth than others. We are in the midst of the 6th great extinction that has been witnessed by the earth in this current era we are living in that some people term the anthropocene. Elizabeth Kolbert (2014) has written a fascinating book regarding this concept. The vast majority of everything that has ever lived has already perished. The last great extinction happened 65 million years ago when a big meteor hit the Yucatan peninsula. We have a lot to learn from some of the ancient beings that have survived so much.
After the botany overview in the text most people tend to skip over the single celled plants, lichens, ancient non vascular spore plants (Mosses, Hornworts and Liverworts) and vascular spore plants (Horsetails, Club Moss, Ferns). If anyone is interested in going deeper with Lichens, Mosses, Liverworts or Hornworts please tell me and i will get you in touch with good friend and teacher Luke Cannon and/or continue the conversation one on one. Paleobotany is a fascinating science that looks into the lineage of these plants and the evolution of others (Stewart & Rothwell, 2010; Taylor, Taylor, Krings, & Taylor, 2009).
Ferns tend to intimidate folks for some reason. Relatively few ferns live in any given area of the temperate world. Only 36 genera live in North America total (Cook, 2007). Some species such as Bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) live all over the world. A couple small pocket references can unlock most of the ferns of the east (Evans, 2005; Hallowell, 2001). A couple other references will allow a more complete conception of Fern diversity in general (Cobb, 2005; Lellinger, 1985). i have found at least one good resource for Costa Rican/Panamanian and by extension Central American ferns as well in my research (Lellinger, 1989). Fern taxonomy like several other botanical categories has undergone quite a reformation in recent years (Kato, 1993; A. R. Smith et al., 2006). Only a few ferns in general are safe for consumption and traditionally eaten and even some of those are in question. The Yahoo Forage Ahead group has exhaustive information on this topic as well as many things wild edible. Ostrich ferns (Matteuccia struthiopteris) which only naturally grow in the Northeast, Midwest and Canada/Alaska, seems to be the most prime. Bracken fern mentioned above has been eaten all over the world but has been known for decades to potentially cause cancer (Fenwick, 1989; Pamukcu, Yalçiner, Hatcher, & Bryan, 1980; B. L. Smith et al., 1994). This effect may even extend to the consumption of milk from cows that have grazed on Brackens. However, there is some question if part of this effect is immunosuppression versus the pure carcinogenic nature or various compounds (Latorre et al., 2009). Ferns also have an enzyme called thiaminase that breaks down vitamin B12 and therefore should always be cooked in order to deactivate this antinutrient. According to a conversation I had with Frank Cook, he took note of much fern eating by people in New Zealand in particular and fern eating is popular in Japan as well.
Conifers represent a very accessible group to approach. Only around 630 total species have been described in the whole world (Groombridge & Jenkins, 2002, p. 236). However, breeders have developed many varieties with dramatic results in increased diversity. Most places in the temperate world have less than ten species of native conifers. Landscape varieties are often easy to identify to genus, though to species can be difficult. A number of great references exist to help with teasing apart the many conifer types (Eckenwalder, 2009; Farjon, 2008, 2010). Conifers are much older than flowering plants. Their range has also been much diminished from a former wider distribution. They tend to live in harsher conditions than the flowering trees as well. Only a few families represent the range of conifer diversity including the Pinaceae, Cupressaceae, Taxaceae, and interestingly the monotypic Gingkoaceae. The first two have the lion’s share of the species.
The flowering plants are relatively young compared to the other plant groups. Yet as can be seen on page 13/14 of Botany in a Day they contain the vast majority of species now growing on the planet (Elpel, 2004/2013). Therefore, they will be the main focus of our studies this year.
Elpel points out a couple other very useful resources for this exploration of the plant world Wildflowers of North America by Frank Venning (1984) and Plant Identification Terminology by James G. Harris (2001). Consider purchasing these books as well if you are able. Learning terminology is an incremental process. Flash cards help some. A number of good online resources exist with card sets already made and the ability to generate others. Quizlet is a favorite i have explored so far and mentioned last class as well http://quizlet.com/subject/botany/. Ultimately, some form of repetition will be necessary to cement certain words into your vocabulary. One bonus is that by learning many of these words you may better understand the roots of romance languages. You can thereby learn Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese easier and may do better on the GRE as well if that is of interest. See the resources section for a list of other electronic resources that may be available for further study.
On page 12/13 one can see a way to conceptualize how plants fit into the greater classification of other biological organisms. The use of domains has overtaken kingdoms as the ultimate level of classification. The main point of this for me is how humbling it is to be a small part of one domain while seeing that organisms we commonly lump together as microbes have two whole domains to themselves.
For the next class we will cover the pages 14-24(5th ed) 15-22(6th ed.) which describe the two major classes of flowering plants and patterns of seven major plant families of the world.
Take a notebook with you and record what distinguishes the blooming plants you see from each other.
Take the quiz on page 24 (5th ed.) This is omitted in the 6th ed.
Check out one of the websites i mentioned in the introduction to this class and pick up an interesting fact or two. Share them with us!
Most people in the world get the vast majority of their food from around 30 plants. An indigenous culture may easily make use of over 150 species of plants for food throughout the year. How many different plants do you consume annually?

ALVARO MORATA has insisted he is happy at Chelsea despite telling the Italian press he did not see his long-term future in London.
Alvaro Morata has caused a stir ahead of Chelsea’s Champions League clash with Roma on Tuesday night (7.45pm) by claiming he is unhappy in London.
The striker waxed lyrical about his time with Juventus in an interview with Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport but claimed he could not see a long-term future in the UK.
However, the 25-year-old has since clarified he does not intend on quitting Stamford Bridge anytime soon, suggesting the interview had been blown out of proportion.
“We have a problem with the interview, all I said was that I was happy at Juventus,” the former Real Madrid man said.
“I want to say in the future when I finish my career I move from London but I am happy in London with my wife.
“I really like London now but when I finish my career and I have a child I might want to move back to my country.
And Morata has claimed his goal is to stay at Stamford Bridge for at least five years, claiming he would even put pen to paper on a 10-year deal.
“I want to say again, we have a problem of understanding the interview,” he added.
In the interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, Morata said: "I live in downtown Chelsea.
“What fascinates me about London is its multi-ethnicity, the coexistence of cultures and religions, but I do not see myself living here for very long.
“It's too big, too much stress, too much of a metropolis." | 2019-04-22T02:30:07 | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/873253/Chelsea-News-Alvaro-Morata-Unhappy-London-10-Year-Contract |
I’ve spent years researching the DNA of high-performing companies, and much to my surprise the leaders at most of those companies did not fit commonly espoused theories of leadership.
Many people believe great leaders are charismatic, have a commanding presence, are visionary and educated at elite schools. Almost all of the leaders of the high-performing companies that I studied had none of those traits.
Instead, they are what I call servant leaders.
I discovered them while researching well-run organizations such as Chick-fil-A and the old Home Depot, both based in the Atlanta area, and even the U.S. Marine Corps, headquartered in Arlington. I found them again and again in research I did on high-performance organizations such as Best Buy, UPS, Ritz Carlton, Room & Board, Whole Foods, Starbucks, Southwest Airlines, Levy Restaurants, the San Antonio Spurs and TSYS.
Those leaders tended to share common characteristics.
These leaders were servants in the best sense of the word. They were people-centric, valued service to others and believed they had a duty of stewardship. Nearly all were humble and passionate operators who were deeply involved in the details of the business. Most had long tenures in their organizations. They had not forgotten what it was like to be a line employee.
They believed that every employee should be treated with respect and have the opportunity to do meaningful work. They led by example, lived the “Golden Rule,” and understood that good intentions are not enough — behaviors count. These leaders serve the organization and its multiple stakeholders. They are servant leaders.
Many people think that you cannot be people-centric and maintain high standards, because employees will take advantage. That’s another leadership myth.
These high-performance organizations show that people-centric environments and high performance are not mutually exclusive. Employees in these companies have high emotional engagement, loyalty and productivity, and outperform the competition on a daily basis over long periods of time. In fact, the relationship between high performance, high employee engagement and how you treat employees is compelling. My research clearly demonstrates that employee satisfaction drives customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Most people seek a leadership position because they want more pay, more prestige, more perks and more power. They seek and fall for the intoxicating powers of leadership.
Servant leaders side step that failing. They are paid more, but very few ever make the highest-paid CEOs list. Instead, they fight elitism in themselves and their organizations. Many of these organizations eschew corporate jets, executive dining rooms, big decorated executive offices and other trappings of elitism. Some of these leaders had small windowless offices. Some shared administrative staff with other executives.
How servant leaders behave is a key to their successful leadership. Behaviors are means of communicating. For example, treating people with dignity, being in the moment and not multitasking, not interrupting others, listening intensely, smiling, saying please and thank you, acknowledging the contributions of others, admitting mistakes, apologizing, not having to be the smartest person in the room all the time and spending time on the front lines with employees and customers.
Servant leaders do not abuse, humiliate or devalue people. They understand that behaviors either build trust or destroy it, and without trust one cannot generally achieve consistent high employee engagement and high performance.
Like behaviors, a servant leader’s attitudes and beliefs underpin successful leadership.
Attitudes and beliefs are fundamental because what you think and feel drives behaviors. Servant leaders do not think they are better than the people they lead. Servant leaders do not think that unless employees are watched like hawks, they won’t work hard. They believe that if you create the right values and culture normal people will do extraordinary things.
The behavior of leaders, coupled with attitudes and beliefs, either enables or inhibits high performance. Good intentions and words are not enough. The best leaders understand that daily behaviors count.
And leadership is hard work because it takes discipline. Servant leaders are vigilant in fighting elitism, arrogance, complacency and hubris daily.

the less dependent we are on the approval of others.
Ever thought of “independence” as a value of life? Have you ever been in an extreme dependence with someone? Everybody should live as indepedent as possible, especially relationships are healthier in my eyes when there are a “me+me” and not just an “us”.

State Rep. Walt Leger debates district lines with Rep. Cameron Henry in this still image from the House of Represntatives streaming video of Tuesay's redistricting debate.
A plan to divvy most of the Carrollton, Audubon and university neighborhoods among three Jefferson Parish and Lakeview-based districts in the state House of Representatives narrowly failed Tuesday, leaving all of Uptown represented by three New Orleans-based lawmakers.
State Reps. Helena Moreno, Walt Leger and Neil Abramson led the attack on the Jefferson Parish plan, describing it as Jefferson Parish’s blatant attempt to gain more seats without regard for the will of voters or the integrity of neighborhoods in New Orleans.
The fate of the former site of the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts remains a concern for Upper Hurstville residents.
If an eleventh-hour do-over makes it through state government by the end of this week, votes cast regarding the Upper Hurstville Security District in the Oct. 2 election will not be counted and the ballot question will be moved to Nov. 2 in slightly altered form.
The security district — which uses a $485-per-parcel fee to provide around-the-clock security patrols from Magazine to Prytania, between Nashville Avenue and Audubon Park — was created by neighborhood voters in 2003 for a seven-year term, and thus needed renewal this year. | 2019-04-23T06:08:37 | http://uptownmessenger.com/tag/neil-abramson/ |
Game Notes: +1D to Blaster skill when using Bipod, +1D to resist range penalties when using targeting scope.
Description: Sniper rifles were long-range weapons, either projectile or, more commonly, blaster-based (these were also called sniper blaster rifles). The purpose of a sniper rifle was to kill a target at extreme distances. A sniper blaster rifle fired a long beam of energy, capable of killing with a single headshot.
Sniper blaster rifles often had a bipod and targeting scope mounted on them.
Tusken Raiders on Tatooine often used projectile sniper rifles to take potshots at podracers. A sniper rifle was used by Zam Wesell to destroy her ASN-121 droid during the plot to assassinate Senator Padm� Amidala in 22 BBY. Another was used by Aurra Sing during the Senate hostage crisis to take out Senate Commandos, and an attempt to kill Senator Amidala. A sniper rifle was used in a failed attempt to assassinate Satine Kryze on Coruscant by a Death Watch assassin. The bounty hunter Jango Fett attempted to collect a bounty by killing a clone deserter with his son Boba Fett, but failed. The Tenloss Syndicate was the maker of the notorious DXR-6 disruptor rifle, which, when fitted with a zoom scope, became an especially deadly sniper rifle.
In the days of the Old Republic, Aratech Repulsor Company was notable for their highly-accurate sniper weapons. | 2019-04-24T10:53:00 | http://rpggamer.org/page.php?page=3689 |

Uncertainty swirls around the placement, and also the events of the 3rd Dynasty king known as Sanakhte (Sanakht). He may have been Nebka, who was known to manetho, and listed on both the Turin Cannon and the Abydos king list as the first king of this dynasty. However, this is problematic to say the least, for we base our belief that he was Nebka on a source that lists his Horus name, Sanakhte, together with a second name that ends with the element "ka" Most of the information we have on this king refers to him as Nebka. In fact, some sources list the two as separate kings, with Nebka founding the 3rd Dynasty and Sanakhte ruling later, perhaps after Khaba.
However, despite this, mud seal impressions bearing the name of Nethery-khet Djoser from the Abydos tomb of the last king of the 2nd Dynasty Khasekhemuy and connected with the burial seem to suggest that Khasekhemuy's widow and her already ruling son Djoser were in charge of the king's burial. On the basis of sealing from the tomb of Khasekhemwy, which name her as "Mother of the King's Children," the wife of the last ruler of the 2nd Dynasty seems to have been one Nimaethap. The latter name was also found, with the title of "King's Mother", upon seal impressions from Mastaba K1 at Beit Khallaf, a gigantic monument dated to the reign of Djoser. Hence, on the basis that Djoser was succeeded by Sekhemkhet and of indications pointing to Khaba as the third in line, Nebka may have been the fourth king of the dynasty, to be equated with the Nebkara following Djoser-teti and preceding Huni in the Saqqara king list.
Many theories regarding the rule of Sanakhte have been advanced, including the possibility that Sanakhte, as a member of a former ruling family, usurped the throne from the ruling family at the beginning of the dynasty. Hence, Djoser could have indeed buried his father, Khasekhemuy, and won back the throne from the usurper, Sanakhte. However, we are told that today, most Egyptologists do believe that he was a latter king of the Dynasty, even though most current documentary resources continue to equate Sanakhte with Nebka, as the 1st King of Egypt's noteworthy 3rd Dynasty who probably ruled from This near Abydos.
Little is known of this king, despite a reign of some 18 or 19 years (others might attribute a much shorter reign of from five to seven years, which would allow a better fit for him ruling before Djoser), for his reign is missing from the Palermo Stone, and important source of information on this period of Egyptian history. However, Nebka is mentioned in Papyrus Westcar. The only large scale monumental building that can possibly be attributed to him is at Beit Khallaf (mastaba K2). His name also appears on the island of Elephantine in southern Egypt near Aswan on a small pyramid. Another of the few sources we have evidencing this king is a fragment of a sandstone relief from Wadi Maghara in the Sinai. It would seem that he, along with Djoser, began the exploitation in earnest of the mineral wealth of the Sinai peninsula, with its rich deposits of turquoise and copper. It shows the king's name in a serekh before his face. The relief depicts Sanakhte, who is about to smite an enemy, wearing the Red Crown of Lower Egypt. We also know of a priest of Nebka's mortuary cult who appears to have lived in the reign of Djoser.
Some Egyptologists continue to believe that he may have been the brother of his famous successor, Djoser (or Zoser), or if not, perhaps his father, but apparently current thought among Egyptologists leans against this. It has been suggested that his tomb at Saqqara was incorporated into the Step Pyramid of Djoser, though little real evidence for this exists, but it has also been suggested that his is a little known monument that seems to nicely fill the typological lacuna between the Shunet el Zebib and the Step Pyramid at Saqqara. | 2019-04-21T18:19:18 | http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/sanakhte.htm |
