Welcome to Kazakhstan It is not necessary to search the entire world for fascinating tradition, beautiful, pristine nature or a delicate mixture of old and modern: simply visit Kazakhstan. In Kazakhstan, guests are made welcome as they experience the very heart of Eurasia.
Kazakhstan is home to many different nationalities and faiths, all united by a common history. This variety of tradition, heritage and language is treasured by the people of the Republic of Kazakhstan, who believe there is much truth in the Japanese saying: “You can survive without your relatives; you cannot survive without your neighbours.” The people of Kazakhstan are proud of their diversity. Century after century, generation after generation, Kazakhstan has always sought to encourage friendship and tolerance among its people.
KAZAKH SPECIALTIES ARE MEAT AND SOUR-MILK DISHES: besbarmak (meat and noodles), kazy, karta, shuzhuk, zhal, zhaya (types of horsemeat sausage), baursaks (savory dоughnuts), kurt (a hard curd chess), kozhe (milk soup), irimshik (curds) and airan (a уоghurt drink).
KAZY is a common element on a dastarkhan, a table set for a festive meal. A smoked horse-meat sausage, is a particularly popular delicacy.
KUMYS - the national drink is made by fermenting raw unpasteurized mare's milk over the course of hours or days, often while stirring or churning. (The physical agitation has similarities to making butter). During the fermentation, lactobacilli bacteria acidify the milk, and yeasts turn it into a carbonated and mildly alcoholic drink.
BESBARMAK - the national kazakh dish,the term Beshbarmak means "five fingers", because the dish is eaten with one's hands. The boiled meat is usually diced with knives, often mixed with boiled noodles, and garnished with parsley and coriander.
KUURDAK (offal stew) - is a Central Asian dish which may sound exotic and complicated but it is really easy to prepare. It basically involves sautéing meat, potato and onions. With so few ingredients the quality of the ingredients becomes particularly important. Red meat is more commonly used but there is no rule against using chicken! Sometimes Kuurdak is made with innards such as intestines.
BAURSAKS (savoury doughnuts) - are must-have food in every Kazakh family. Now, baursaks are not only cooked and eaten by the Kazakhs. Baursaks are served to tea, before main course, to mare’s milk (‘kumys’), to snacks, and to strong broth (‘sorpa’). It is both festive and everyday food liked by many, both young and old. | 2019-04-25T01:56:09 | http://infomatrix.asia/kazakhstan |

When is a broom also a rake?
When it’s an Eco Max Coconut Palm Broom!
The magic of this broom/rake is the natural fibre that it is made from.
Traditional Rakes are made from plastic or wire, with large gaps between the prongs. These gaps stop them functioning as a broom.
Traditional Brooms, no matter what they are made from, are denser so they can sweep. However, because the fibres are softer they will not work as a rake.
The Coconut Palm Broom has the natural strength and flexibility of the centre rib of the palm frond so it can work as a rake and the density of the fibres allows it to sweep like a broom.
Plus it looks so beautiful you will want to hang it on your wall.
So why are Palm fronds so strong?
If you think about it, palm leaves are strong enough to bend and flex in cyclones and they do not easily rot. The strongest part is the centre rib of the leaf and it is this that is used to make the brooms.
The fallen leaves are collected and stripped back to the centre rib. Then these are bound together with coconut fibre rope around a FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) certified timber pole, caped with a coconut shell. Coconut rope is woven through the ribs to spread them creating the flattened shape. This narrow edge allows the Coconut Palm Broom to be turned sideways to easily sweep edges and between pavers.
The Coconut Palm Broom is ethically handmade in Sri Lanka from nothing but natural materials. It uses waste products, the fallen leaves to create a sustainable long lasting broom.
But don’t take our word for it. Take a look at the video or better still try one yourself. | 2019-04-22T04:09:43 | https://importants.com.au/story/broombroomrake/ |

Hiking essentials. Patio not included...usually.
Okay, so we're well overdue here, but really, who’s surprised at me procrastinating? As usual I’ve allowed myself to be caught up with the myriad adventures that have come my way. The people I have met in the hostels have been incredible and although I was surprised that I was so shy the first week in the country, now I get comments from new friends about how outgoing I am. So with that, I am brought to my first post about my purpose here: trees. Oh light of my life, world of my world, etc etc! Last week I took the day to get out of the city for the first time since my arrival. Although I have been determined to find work, I began to realize how uneasy I was getting spending so much time in the city.
I digress. DRNP has some great walking tracks and picnic areas, and some massive, massive trees. I don’t say this flippantly either. If I saw 500 trees as I walked through the park, I can confidently say I saw the 500 largest trees of my life. They are consistently huge. In Canada, we have many trees, they’re certainly abundant, but they are not this big. Mind you, I’ve never had the opportunity to visit the west coast (yet), but I can say with confidence that the largest tree’s I’ve seen and climbed in Ontario, do not hold a candle to this forest. Taking pictures is difficult because it’s impossible to show scale because they’re all huge. The ferns are even massive. Instead of having low lying ground covering ferns, this forest has tree ferns, ancient ancestors to palms that can be upwards of 15ft high.
Any foray into a national park is incomplete without the most modern of invasive species: tourists and the things that attract them. This includes roads, busses, giftshops and their overpriced novelty items, and finally, relatively tame wildlife. After a brief discussion with the staff at the giftshop I have walk over to the Cockatoo feeding area ('you just have to try feeding them, it's so fun!'). So I purchase the seed for the wild birds and trade stories with the woman handing out the seed. As usual she's happy to talk to a Canadian (who isn't really?) and is keen to give me insight into the birds. They're smart, she insists, almost as smart as children.
In fact, she says they're as smart as five year olds. So I walk out with the seed to get mobbed by friendly and eager birds, flying to my shoulders, landing on the bowl etc. As usual I manage to feel sorry for the one in the corner that is too nervous to fly to my bowl. So I bend down to let him approach my hand, and like that evil five year old that takes advantage of any apparent weakness, the little bugger bites my hand, piercing my thumb and causing me to drop all the seed in my hand in front of it. Visions of the hellish post-apocalyptic Hitchcock film fill my mind. Unbeknownst to me there is blood everywhere. The Chinese tourists are aghast, loud and panicked Mandarin surrounds me where there was once cockatoos with their iconic yet unpleasant screech. As I make my way back to the helpful Aussie for a bandaid and some field surgery I realize that part of the panic was over my halfpint of blood in the feeding area, and the subsequent spooking of the birds -oops-. After a quick patch up I return to ring with the last of my bowl of seed. The usual suspects are only too keen to fly on my arm, but I have an agenda now: make amends with my apparent attacker. The Lord did preach forgiveness after all. So I take a handful in my non wounded hand, and allow my nemesis to approach. She takes a good look in the king’s ransom of seed in my hand and goes straight for thumb number two. Clever girl.
Up to my arms in coc....uhh, birds. | 2019-04-26T15:57:21 | https://www.arboristabroad.com/blog/a-day-in-dandenong-ranges |

Note: this article has been made by Alex Harris from the U.S.
Most people live in big cities, where cement and asphalt compose the landscape that surrounds us. We spend most of our day dwelling inside apartments and offices, where only the most fortunate have a balcony to connect with the outside world. To keep in touch with nature, we are forced to wait until we have enough free time to escape to a nearby park. While there’s nothing like taking a full breath of fresh air surrounded by trees, feeling the grass beneath our bare feet to ground ourselves and connect with nature. There’s also an option to beat the lack of vegetation in our daily routine: indoor gardening.
More and more people decide to allocate a corner of their home for plants or even small bushes. Interior gardens can transform a locked and stained room into a vibrant space full of life. It has been proven that home plants clean the air of a house or apartment; plants are the other tip of the exchange of gases between flora and fauna, exhaling oxygen after breathing in our CO2 emissions. In the process, they do a lot in terms of air filtering. Plants help to clean the air, muffle the noises that distract you, reduce the level of stress and improve your productivity.
Succulent plants and terrariums need very little care, so they allow you to focus exclusively on your work. If you like indoor plants but you’re not sure how to take care of them, here are a couple of super practical tips for your indoor gardening practice.
Fresh (between 10-15° C) throughout the year except in winter (between 7-10° C).
Moderate (between 10-15° C) throughout the year.
Warm (between 15-21° C) throughout the year, being able to eventually withstand higher and lower temperatures.
Half light (does not receive direct sun but enjoys plenty of light).
Semisombra (does not receive direct sun but enjoys medium luminosity).
Abundant irrigation: keep the substrate moist constantly.
Moderate irrigation: between irrigation and irrigation the substrate is allowed to dry in a strip of 3-4 cms deep.
Scarce irrigation: between each irrigation the entire substrate is allowed to dry.
During the vegetative period, it will be carried out according to the needs of the plant. Different types will allow you to use fertilizers once a month, every two weeks, or every week. Avoid chemical fertilizers like Roundup, and instead, go for the eco-friendly alternatives.
They must be proportional to the size of the plant. We recommend that at the end of spring and early summer, the pots be checked for breakage. As plants and their roots grow, they’ll require being transplanted to larger pots.
First of all, you must define what type of garden you prefer. There are two main types of gardening used indoors. On the one hand, there is the traditional container gardening style, which gives you more freedom if you decide to rearrange and move your plants; on the other hand, there is the space-saving, avant-garde hydroponic gardening, made with fertilized water, without soil. Another option which is gaining rapid popularity is vertical gardening.
Once you’ve determined your preferred gardening type, you should choose the space where they’re going to live. When choosing the place for your plants, you must consider those that offer the best environmental conditions for your garden type. Make sure there is a large, nearby window that allows enough sunlight to enter. East and West orientation are the best options because the sun hits directly. In addition, the environment should be warm. Remember that warmth that favors the growth of your plants.
Not all plants are apt to grow in an interior space . At the nursery, consult for those varieties that are better suited to your home. If you like flowers, try begonias, succulents, African violets, lilies of peace, cactus or marigolds. You can also take advantage of the opportunity to grow your own edible garden: tomatoes, carrots, peas, basil, laurel, oregano, grapes, figs, strawberries, etc.
Organize your interior garden on shelves. This will allow you to install a drip irrigation system and you won’t have to worry about watering the plants regularly. The shelves will also facilitate the installation of a lighting system. On that same note, in addition to sunlight, it is recommended that you reinforce the growth of your plants with artificial light. Finally, avoid problems and limit yourself to plants that are more resistant to diseases.
As a whole, humanity is (and should be) becoming more and more aware of the urgent need to take better care of our environment. Indoor gardening is an excellent way to learn about eco-friendly gardening practices. How? Very easy: make homemade compost with your organic waste. Recycle glass or plastic bottles to turn them as pots, and wooden boxes like flower pots. It correctly regulates the supply of light and water in the installed systems, so that there is no unnecessary wastage.
You must take care of the orientation of indoor plants. It is advisable to locate them facing east, with the morning sun. If you do not have access to such a location, look for the most luminous space of your house/office and place your indoor plants there, except for those that do not resist direct sunlight, of course. If the ambient light is scarce, you can place an artificial light spot near the floor or place mirrors to increase the brightness of the room.
For indoor plants to stay healthy you can group several plants in a pot, thus providing moisture between them. And the visual result can be super attractive!
Remember to remove leaves and branches that are withered, because they can prevent the full growth of the plant. You must protect the indoor plants in winter from excessive heating, it is important to keep them away from the likes of heaters, stoves, etc.
Try to water your indoor plants in a moderate way, be careful not to water them excessively and drown them. You must conserve the moisture of the earth in such a way that you add water only when the plant requires it. Generally, the irrigation frequency is two to three times per week. Do not use very cold water to water the plants as it can be harmful to many species. It is preferable to water indoor plants with water at room temperature.
If the plant begins to deteriorate, you may need special care such as a pot change or an intake of organic nutrients. It is recommended to carry out two or three pot transplants per year to keep your plants healthy and happy. | 2019-04-26T06:14:04 | https://slowpix.org/five-amazing-indoor-gardening-tips-and-tricks/ |
How did the Holbrook Dairy Queen “Lips” sign and the Casa Grande Cones happen to meet in the Casa Grande Neon Sign Park? In August 2018, while visiting the Holbrook Dairy Queen to see what signs had been saved after the new corporate branding campaign, their “Lips” sign was discovered on site. It had been cracked during sign removal. When the owner heard about the Casa Grande Neon Sign Park she gladly donated her sign. This one-of-a kind oversized “Lips” sign had been special ordered in c.1976. When Interstate 40 bypassed Holbrook on Route 66, the Dairy Queen owner at that time made certain the Interstate 40 travelers could look into Holbrook and see this magnificent sign.When Dairy Queen corporate had the Historic Downtown Dairy Queen “Enter” and “Exit” cones removed in January 2018, the current owner donated them to the Historic Preservation Commission. With these cones, we fondly remember the Eric Steinhoff family, who owned and operated the Dairy Queen for 39 years, which included the tenure of this sweet pair of cones. | 2019-04-26T02:25:30 | https://www.neonsignpark.com/about-the-signs/dairy-queen.html |
[Huaishu Peng] and a group of other researchers have come up with a system that allows them to use virtual reality (VR) to model an object in a space in front of them while a robot simultaneously 3D prints that object in that same space, a truly collaborative effort they call the RoMA: Robotic Modelling Assistant. This is a step toward fixing the problem of designing something and then having to wait for the prototype to be made before knowing how well it fits the design goals.
How does the designer/robot collaboration work? The designer wears an Oculus Rift VR headset with a camera mounted to the front, turning it into an AR (Augmented Reality) headset. In front of the designer is a rotating platform on which the object will be 3D printed. And on the other side of the platform is the 3D printing robot. In the AR headset, the designer views the platform, the object, and the robot as seen by the camera but with the model he’s working on overlayed onto the object. An AR hand controller allows him to work on the model. Meanwhile, the robot 3D prints the model. See it in action in the video below.
Some of the advantages of this collaboration are demonstrated in the video below by designing and printing a teapot. When it’s time to model the teapot’s handle, the designer reaches out and positions a finger where it should go through the handle while drawing a virtual handle around his finger. This way there’s less chance of printing a full teapot with a handle only to find the handle’s not quite big enough.
They also show how you can put physical objects on the platform and draw and then 3D print onto the objects. In the video below they add a stand to a toy jet fighter. Or you can draw and 3D print a little, then add physical objects for scale, and then even draw and 3D print around them. They demonstrate this in their paper about this project by creating a structure around some LEGO pieces.
As with any collaboration, they have to lay out some ground rules, what they call domains, controlling who can access the object at different times. For example, the robot can print on its side of the platform while the designer is close the platform on his side but if the designer touches the platform then the robot automatically backs away. If the designer is far from the platform then the robot can do whatever it wants, including rotating the platform.
Sharing a workspace with an industrial grade robot arm can be dangerous. In addition to the domains, the robot arm is programmed to remain in its work area and if the designer strays into the robot’s work area then the hand controller vibrates. The robot’s speed is also limited.
As you’d expect, they also wrote some software, an AR renderer and an AR editor, but we’ll leave that to their paper to describe.
If this looks familiar then that’s probably because they previously wowed us with their On-the-Fly Printing, the first iteration in this ongoing project. | 2019-04-26T03:45:51 | http://sloppylaughs.com/3d-printing-and-modelling-with-a-robot-assistant/ |

Datamax has taken the concept of RFID and smart labels and made it so user friendly, so dynamic and so robust that a revolution has been created in the smart label printing industry! The Datamax Engineering Team used their long history of innovation in printer design and channeled this experience toward designing a new smart label printer. This printer can encode data onto Radio Frequency (RF) chips embedded into a label also known as a smart label creating a powerful Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) label printer that is as easy for users to own and operate as other Datamax printers. The astonishing result of this activity is a collection of printers designed to ease users into RFID label printing applications while minimizing risk.

Solving the problem of unwanted false alarm call outs is a difficult business. London Fire Brigade's UwFS specialist Chris Lloyd Williams explains.
Firefighters working in cities and towns have seen it all before. The bells go down, the crew go out to an AFA (automatic fire alarm), they arrive at the job and find there is no fire. The alarm might have been caused by burnt toast or even a faulty alarm system, but the result is wasted time and money, and a crew taken away from real emergencies, training or fire safety work.
With a third of all emergency calls the London Fire Brigade attends caused by false alarms to automatic fire alarm systems, it was clear that work needed to be done to tackle this problem. These calls are not fires after all, but are calls caused by alarm systems that are insufficiently managed, inadequately maintained, poorly positioned or negligently activated.
Five years ago the problem was even worse, before the Brigade implemented measures to educate building owners and filter these unwanted fire signals (UwFS) with new policies for our 999 control officers. In 2005-2006, 52,899 calls were made to the Brigade to attend false alarms and the latest figures show that in 2009/10 this has been reduced by 15 per cent to 44642. But how has this been done and why is it such a big problem?
A false alarm is the sounding of an AFA for some reason other than fire. When the fire service attends one of these jobs, it is called an unwanted fire signal. In a city with so many offices, shops, hospitals, hotels and student halls of residence, AFAs can clearly be a real headache.
It is important to point out that not all fire detection systems are bad. In fact, we want to see more systems installed as the benefits of automatic fire detection and fire alarm systems are widely acknowledged. Alarms provide early warning in the event of fire making them vital to the effectiveness of emergency evacuation plans and therefore reducing risk to life. They also assist in minimising property damage through early warning for initial firefighting.
However, if these systems are not designed, installed, maintained and managed to a satisfactory standard they have the potential to generate false alarms.
With around 50,000 false alarm calls each year - and 20 per cent of these calls to persistent problem buildings where we will attend more than 20 times a year - this leads to an impact on many levels. These needless and repeated calls drain resources and take firefighters away from the vital work and training which could mean that our response to a real incident is affected.
In addition, unnecessary vehicle movements contribute to environmental pollution and increase the risk of road traffic accidents if we are travelling on the bell to an 'emergency'. And it is not just the fire service that suffers, as excessive false alarms lead to complacency in evacuations and impact on the UK economy as staff wait outside their place of work for the fire brigade to arrive. From our experience a poor record on false alarms can be a key indicator of poor fire safety management.
From September 2004, the PDA for AFA calls was reduced to one pumping appliance (except where adjustment for risk is made).
This has reduced the impact on Brigade resources when responding to individual AFAs but did not reduce the overall number of AFAs the Brigade attended.
In 2006 the Brigade started a pilot in Westminster to look at UwFS reduction. Station Manager Steve Norman visited premises in the borough that produced frequent UwFS and gave advice to the responsible persons on how they could introduce improvements. There was a lack of awareness among building owners and managers of the problems these alarms caused and their impact on the Brigade. The pilot's main focus was on individual premises and with a little a bit of advice and application from the Brigade they could improve their fire safety management of the fire alarm systems.
The success of the pilot led to the development of a cohesive strategy that was adopted across London. The Brigade contributed significantly to a CFOA Working Group which worked on the national policy on the reduction of false alarms and UwFS. In June 2009 we brought in a policy largely based on the national one which outlined how the Brigade would tackle the issue. The Brigade has achieved the reduction by using inspecting officers and firefighters. It has also introduced a call filtering system at its control centre.
Involving firefighters is especially important as they are first on the scene when the Brigade is called to a false alarm. For use when attending false alarms, they have been issued with tags that they can place on alarm systems to show to the building owner and engineers that action needs to be carried out. This enforces the idea that the Brigade should not be called out to manage unreliable systems. If a likely cause is found then crews will give preventative advice, for example, suggest the isolation of detectors during building works.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, the Brigade cannot issue enforcement notices or prosecutions based on UwFS alone. But they can where fire safety contraventions have occurred, such as if the proper evacuation procedure has not been followed. Poor management of fire alarms is often an indication of other fire safety failings. If firefighters notice this then they will inform the Brigade's fire safety team.
Previously, a fire safety audit of a premise would not include a review of the fire alarm system performance. Assessment of fire alarm performance is now an audit standard and the Brigade will inspect a building if firefighters are regularly called to UwFS there. Inspecting officers can give advice to the responsible person to try and resolve the problem. In more serious cases they will write a letter informing them that the level of unwanted alarms is too high and needs to be reduced. Three months later they will inspect the premises to see if the problem has been resolved. Officers will refer cases to the central policy team for a review of response and legal action options if the false alarms continue.
A call filtering policy was introduced by the Brigade in July 2009. If a caller from the premises speaks to a 999 control officer they will be asked to confirm whether there is a fire. If it is or if they do not know, then the Brigade will attend. If they can confirm that the alarm has not been caused by fire then no fire engines will attend. In addition to this the Brigade is working with alarm receiving centres and social alarm monitoring industries to prevent unnecessary and unwanted alarm calls. This is being closely monitored and the Brigade is constantly looking at how to reduce attendance at premises where the alarm system does not provide reliable information, which may include responding to these premises only after we have received confirmation of a suspected fire via a 999 call.
London Fire Brigade recently signed a landmark agreement with Hilton hotels to formalise fire safety procedures and reduce the number of false alarms at their hotels. It was identified that the chain had a high level of UwFS, but through working with the Brigade, this has led to a reduction of two thirds since 2005 across 16 hotels in the capital. This also resulted in improved fire safety and a reduction in real fires.
Another organisation that the Brigade has been working closely with is the NHS. Over 10 per cent of unwanted false alarms come from hospitals. Since 2003, a Concordat agreement, which strengthens the relationship between London Fire Brigade, the Department of Health and NHS London, has been signed and all parties annually re-affirm commitment to the reviewed principals during a workshop event. It outlines how the three organisations will continue to work together to ensure health centres and hospitals comply with fire safety legislation.
The work being carried out by the Brigade has clearly made a difference in reducing the number of unnecessary call outs in London but still much more needs to be done, especially by companies who do not manage their alarm systems successfully enough. The Brigade is committed to protecting its valuable resources so it can better serve Londoners in real emergencies. While we will always come to a fire or suspected fire, we do not want to attend false alarms that can reasonably be prevented. | 2019-04-18T11:18:26 | https://www.fire-magazine.com/reducing-londons-false-alarms |

Prevailing notions of the ocean make it seem as if it is "too big to fail” since it takes up 70% of the surface of Earth and contains 321,003,271 cubic miles of water.1 Additionally, most of the oceans’ immense biodiversity has yet to be documented. The Census of Marine Life estimates that there could be between 178,000 to 10,000,000 different species living in ocean shoreline habitats due to the vast abundance of photosynthesizing microbes.2 However, like any ecosystem, the oceans are not immune to anthropogenic and environmental stressors such as overfishing, climate change, and pollution. There are many interconnected problems surrounding the way in which people currently treat the oceans. Extracting large amounts of fish for human consumption threatens the dynamic balance that currently exists and threatens scientists’ potential for making groundbreaking discoveries about what lies below.
Unfortunately, the most popularly consumed fish species are subject to all three practices. Bluefin tuna, sturgeon, sea bass, and Atlantic salmon are examples of large, long-lived predatory species that only provide a few offspring each breeding cycle.5 For example, Bluefin tuna release ten million eggs each year, but only a small number survive to adulthood. Even then, these tuna do not reach reproductive maturity until eight to twelve years of age.6 When the largest fish are specifically targeted, many ecological consequences arise. Removing the largest fish of the largest species in an ecosystem significantly decreases the mean size for that species. As a result, only smaller fish are left to reproduce.7 This shift causes trophic level decline: as species at higher trophic levels are overfished, fishermen decide to catch the comparatively larger fish at lower trophic levels.7 This vicious cycle continues so that the average size of fish consumed decreases significantly. This phenomenon, known as “eating down the food chain,” puts many fish at risk, including herbivorous fish in coral reef ecosystems.7 To maintain a coral-dominated state, herbivorous fish consume macro-algae that otherwise would overgrow and suffocate corals. When coral-dominated reefs become overtaken by macro-algae, habitats for many other fish and organisms are severely reduced. Over 25% of the world’s fish species live exclusively within these three-dimensional coral communities, which themselves only take up 0.1% of the ocean floor.5 Not only are species being depleted at the very top of the food chain, smaller species that are endemic to specific ocean environments are also indirectly experiencing survival pressure.
These international efforts to reduce the amount of seafood extracted from ocean environments are generally invisible in a grocery store, so it is easy for consumers to engage passively with the food they see. However, recognizing the production, labor, and ecosystem that goes into fish and fish products (and all foods) is critical for maintaining the livelihood of the world’s natural environments. The ocean may seem vast, but there is not an infinite supply of resources that can meet current demands.

See also Lake Garda on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
GARDA, LAKE OF (the Lacus Benacus of the Romans), the most easterly and the most extensive of the great Lombard lakes, being only surpassed in the Alpine region by those of Geneva and Constance. Save the extreme northern extremity (Riva, which was secured from Venice by Tirol in 1517), the whole lake is Italian, being divided between the provinces of Verona and Brescia. Its broad basin orographically represents the southern portion of the valley of the Adige, though that river now flows through a narrow trench which is separated from the lake by the long narrow ridge of the Monte Baldo (7277 ft.). Nowadays the lake is fed by the Sarca, that flows in at its north end from the glaciers of the Adamello, while at the southern extremity of the lake the Mincio flows out, on its way to join the Po. The area of the lake is about 143 sq. m., its length is 32¼ m., its greatest breadth is about 10 m., the height of its surface above sea-level is 216 ft. and the greatest depth yet measured is 1916 ft. Its upper or northern end is narrow, but between Garda (E.) and Salò (W.) the lake expands gradually into a nearly circular basin, which at the southern extremity is divided into two parts by the long low promontory of Sermione, that projects from the southern shore between Peschiera and Desenzano. Owing to this conformation the lake is much exposed to sudden and violent winds, which Virgil alludes to in his well-known line (Georg. ii. line 160): fluctibus et fremitu assurgens, Benace, marino. The most dangerous of these winds is the Borea or Suer, that sweeps down from the north as through a funnel. In the southern portion of the lake the Vinessa, an E.S.E. wind, is most dreaded. The Ora is a regular wind coming from the east which, on reaching the lake, blows from S. to N. The steep grey limestone crags of Monte Baldo, on the eastern side of the lake, contrast strongly with the rich vegetation on the western and southern shores. The portion of the western shore that extends from Gargnano to Salo is the most sheltered and warmest part of the region, so that not merely does it resemble one continuous garden (producing lemons, figs, mulberries, olives, &c.), but is frequented in winter, and has been given the name of the Riviera Benacense. The lovely promontory of Sermione, at the southern end of the lake, has also an extremely luxuriant vegetation, while it contains many remains of buildings of Roman and later date, having been the Sirmio of Catullus, who resided here and celebrated its beauties in many of his poems. In 1827 a boat with paddles set in motion by horses was put on the lake, but the first steamer dates only from 1844. At the south end of the lake, F.. and W. respectively of the promontory of Sermione, are the towns of Peschiera (14¼ m. by rail from Verona on the east) and of Desenzano (17½ m. by rail from Brescia on the west), which are 8¾ m. distant from each other. On the west shore of the lake are Salo, Toscolano, Gargnano and Limone, while the rugged east shore can boast only of Bardolino and Garda. At the northern tip of the lake, and in Tirol, is Riva, the most considerable town on the lake, and 15½ m. by rail from the Mori station on the main Brenner line.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The owner of the Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and KFC chains says its fourth-quarter profit rose 30 percent, thanks to its fast-growing overseas operations and to a strong showing from Pizza Hut in the U.S.
Yum Brands Inc. said Monday that Taco Bell had another sluggish quarter in the U.S. The Mexican-style chain is struggling to regain momentum after publicity from a now-dropped lawsuit that questioned the beef content of its taco and burrito filling.
Yum, based in Louisville, Kentucky, earned $356 million, or 75 cents per share, for the quarter. That's compared to $274 million, or 56 cents per share, a year earlier. Revenue rose 15 percent to $4.1 billion.
Analysts expected profit of 74 cents per share on revenue of $4.04 billion.
The shares rose after hours. | 2019-04-25T10:10:58 | https://www.salon.com/2012/02/06/yum_brands_posts_30_percent_4th_qtr_profit_rise/ |

Why can’t I see my own doctor after a workplace injury?
Posted February 12th, 2014 by Anthony Carbone, PC.
You are definitely afraid of the doctor’s office. First, it’s full of sick people. Plus there’s poking and prodding and questions about your lifestyle. But you found a doctor you can put your trust in and refuse to see anyone else. But you just got injured at work. Your employer is making you go see one of the doctors he has selected. Can he do that? Are you allowed to see your own physician?
The answer is no. When you have a workplace injury that requires medical attention, it is the responsibility of your employer and/or his workers compensation insurance company to provide you with a list of doctors. The reason why your employer provides this information is because these doctors are the ones who accept your employer’s workers compensation insurance. But don’t worry, these doctors are fully qualified to treat your injury.
So what will happen if you go to your own doctor? Well, your health insurance company does not cover you for a workplace accident. So if you decide to go to your doctor instead, you will have to pay for the medical bill out of pocket. This is so your employer and the insurance carrier can protect themselves in case something happens in the future. For example, your doctor says you are fit to go back to work but you reinjure yourself. Since you saw an unauthorized doctor, the workers compensation insurance can deny your claim.

Born April 7, 1964, in Wellington, New Zealand. His family moved to Sydney, Australia, when Crowe was four years old. He spent a good deal of time on the sets of various film and television productions, where his parents worked as caterers; at age six, Crowe was cast as an orphan in the TV series Spyforce, the first of his many small parts as a child actor. His family returned to New Zealand in 1978, and Crowe began performing as a rock singer, billing himself as Rus le Roc and recording the prophetically titled 1980 single �I Want to Be Like Marlon Brando.� During this period, he and a friend formed Roman Antix, which later evolved into 30 Odd Foot of Grunts, a rock band for which Crowe still sings, plays guitar, and writes lyrics.
in the early 1980s to pursue his acting career, winning a role in a production of the musical Grease in 1983. From 1986 to 1988, Crowe starred in a touring production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. A role in the stage musical Blood Brothers in 1989 led to his first feature film, Blood Oath (1990, released in the U.S. as Prisoners of the Sun). His other early films included The Crossing (1990), which marked his first leading role, and The Efficiency Expert (1991, released in the U.S. as Spotswood), with Anthony Hopkins and Toni Collette. In 2001, Crowe starred in A Beautiful Mind, an acclaimed biopic about the Nobel Prize-winning mathematician John Nash. The film, directed by Ron Howard, costarred Ed Harris and Jennifer Connelly. For the third year in a row, Crowe's bravura performance earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. He and Howard will team up again for the 1930s boxing drama Cinderella Man, about Jim Braddock, the real-life boxer who defeated heavyweight champ Max Baer in a 15-round bout. | 2019-04-20T21:15:04 | http://www.celebrities.deepthi.com/actors/Russell-Crowe.html |

The Motley Fool Canada » Dividend Stocks » Canadian Tire Corporation Ltd. (TSX:CTC.A) Shareholders: Have You Considered This Major Risk?
Canadian Tire Corporation Ltd. (TSX:CTC.A) Shareholders: Have You Considered This Major Risk?
Canadian Tire (TSX:CTC.A) released its quarterly earnings this morning, and the results were excellent.
Total retail sales increased 4.4% during quarter, while total revenue surged more than 11%. Earnings per share performed even better, increasing to $3.11 per share, an increase of 21.7% versus the same quarter last year. If we strip out acquisition costs of coat maker Helly Hansen and other one-time expenses, earnings per share were $3.47.
Management also announced a 15% increase in the dividend, boosting the annual payout to $4.15 per share. The company also intends to buy back $300-400 million worth of its stock.
These are solid results. It’s hard to find bad news anywhere. And yet, I think investors should turn cautious on the company today. Here’s why.
Canadian Tire’s push into financial services has been incredibly successful.
It started way back in 1968, when the company purchased a small credit card-processing company. Its credit cards came along starting in 1995. Then came various banking services, like mortgages, bank accounts, and insurance. The mortgage division was sold, but the company still offers the other two. These days, the company’s Triangle Rewards program allows customers to accumulate electronic Canadian Tire money from purchases at a number of different retailers.
Canadian Tire’s push into financial services was so successful that Bank of Nova Scotia bought a 20% stake in the division back in 2014. The price paid was $500 million.
These days, the credit division is a true behemoth. More than two million shoppers are current Canadian Tire credit card holders who are carrying a balance. The company has nearly $6 billion worth of credit card receivables on its balance sheet. Approximately 40% of Canadian Tire’s earnings thus far in 2018 have come from its financial services division.
It’s easy to see why Canadian Tire continues to go full speed ahead with its financial division. It’s a good business — at least most of the time.
But as we all know, there are certain parts of the credit cycle where being a high-risk lender is not the place to be. Losses mount as tough overall economic conditions erode the average consumer’s ability to pay. Credit cards are often the first obligation to be ignored as all resources are dedicated to the mortgage or car loan. That’s the danger of issuing unsecured credit.
Canadian Tire is doing a nice job of keeping its defaults in check today. Write-offs over the last 12 months have been just 5.4%. But investors have to remember the Canadian economy is chugging along nicely. Credit card write-offs should be low.
The real test comes during the next recession. Let’s face it; Canadian consumers are awash with debt. Our collective debt-to-disposable income ratio has been at an alarming level since 2009. The Bank of Canada continues to hike interest rates — a move that could hit heavily-indebted homeowners hard.
If the perfect storm happens and rates stay higher while the underlying economy takes a hit, it could mean very bad things for an unsecured lender. Remember, financial services profits are a major part of the bottom line. The fate of the company is tied to this division.
Canadian Tire has built a business that’s doubly exposed to the Canadian consumer. When the economy is rolling along nicely, like it is today, you’ll see the company post great results. But when the overall economic picture turns cloudy, Canadian Tire will be faced with a double whammy of tepid retail results and elevated write-offs from its credit card portfolio.
Investors must keep in mind this risk, and perhaps put off buying shares until it’s fully priced in. In other words, the time to buy Canadian Tire shares is when there’s blood in the streets. I’m not sure when that will be, but one thing is for certain: it’s not today. | 2019-04-20T03:01:31 | https://www.fool.ca/2018/11/08/canadian-tire-corporation-ltd-tsxctc-a-shareholders-have-you-considered-this-major-risk/ |

Hunter Jones Representing CP-Carrillo in the highest way possible by wearing apparel and showing off as the newest sponsored rider for this race season. Excited to have you on board.
Clif Bakx As every good result is a sum of its parts, your pistons are a critical component, so thank you, from myself & our crew, for your continued effort in engineering & supplying our racing sport with the best products available.
I've used them now for about 3 years, and although they don't last forever, they certainly stand up to the task at hand.
Quentin Feast Been using the CP-Carrillo Bullet Piston for over a year now in my twin turbo 403 ci LS with E85. These 14cc dish pistons gave me a static compression ratio of 9.9 to 1 and at 20 psi of boost they have not let me down. With regular street driving and over 50 passes down the quarter mile at 7000 rpm in a year of use we pulled the engine down to inspect. The pistons themselves had held up very well. Virtually un-marked with no signs of detonation in the ring lands, on the crown or the skirts. The skirts measured up fine too with only minor marks from going past the bottom of the bore. The wrist pins supplied were flexing a little as there was slight bell mouthing in the piston and small end of the rod so we upgraded these from 180th to 240th. These have been back in the car now for 6 months and another 30 passes no problem. Thanks to CP-Carrillo Bullet Pistons for helping my 3400lb street car run 8.34 and 169mph.
John Lombardo Jr. CP Pistons have served Jackson Lombardo Racing well, but never better than in 2015! Seven for seven in final rounds, back to back Jeg's victories, the national speed record at 274.39 MPH, the Central Region Championship, and a World Finals victory in the quickest TAFC race ever! We count on Team CP for the best products and service. Simply put-they deliver! John Lombardo Jr.
Jake Gavio CP /Carrillo’s proven track record is what makes me so proud to represent them. Stroll through the pits at any race and you will see their logos everywhere. Not only do they support many of the racers, but they design and build some of the best parts on the planet.
Their expertise and guidance play such an intrinsic part to my success on the track. Over the years, their pistons and rods have allowed me to amass a pile of trophies and class records, which is a testament to their ability to help make horsepower over and over!
As a racer, I respect how supportive they are of other racers, ensuring that they too can get to the track and be successful.
Powerful, reliable, record setting parts alongside unparalleled support, what more could you ask for?
HTP Performance For the past 12 years HTP performance has been breaking records, winning races, and championships . HTP was the first Real street bike to break the 7 second zone and we are most known for being the first to break the 6 second barrier with a street bike.
We have also won several races and championships and we owe it to the high quality parts made by CP-Carrillo. Their quality, strength, engineering and longevity a far superior to any of the competitors in our industry. It is because of these great parts, HTP can feel confident in each and every engine that we build and stand by out of our shop. It has truly been a honor to work with a company with the same competitive nature in producing great parts as we do about racing them.

DME Racing CP-Carrillo is the back bone of our engine program. At 6.72@221 mph in ProStreet and 6.50@227 mph in Pro Open D.M.E. Racing and CP Carrillo are the words quickest and fastest in 1/4 mile drag racing. Because of CP-Carrillo's quality, Team D.M.E. won the IDBL and MANCUP championships in 2013 and 2014.
Bob Stephens Our engine builder, Tom Negrete, has been using CP pistons & Carrillo rods in our open UMP/USMTS modified engines for over a decade without a single piston or rod failure. Our billet piston-guided engine turned almost 9,000 rpm, definitely proven power & reliability! We wouldn't use anything but CP-Carrillo.
Bill Ross CP- Carrillo has been a fantastic company for me to deal with and will always receive my highest recommendation for anyone needing pistons and or connecting rods. From sales to customer service , the employees here have always display the highest level of integrity and have earned my highest level of trust. Thank you CP for helping us earn 7 current SCTA land speed records ! | 2019-04-20T00:34:11 | https://www.cp-carrillo.com/resources.html |

The most evident reason why athleisure is appropriate for many situations is the fact that it fits perfectly with many other trends that have been popular throughout the 20th century. Athleisure is quite often described as a hybrid of casual and athletic wear, which resulted in creating a whole new fashion trend. That’s why many clothes that are considered as work-appropriate are nowadays made of materials that are inspired by sports, such as spandex or lycra. If we think about it, the business dress code has certainly changed in the last decade, and if we combine the durability of sports clothes with new business trends, it is quite obvious why athleisure has found its way into the offices, schools and cafés.
Think about the word athleisure. It is a combination of the words athletic and leisure, so it’s quite obvious that this style is meant both for the gym and everyday wear. Due to the fast pace of life, it’s quite acceptable to wear, for example, leggings at work or sweatpants at University. Just a decade ago, this kind of fashion would be considered inappropriate, but today it’s quite the opposite. Having good athletic clothes is a must, and combining these with elegant but casual clothes is the epitome of effortless style that everyone loves. Moreover, everyone feels more comfortable with this style, so it’s safe to assume that it’s here to stay.
What are the other perks of athleisure apart from the fact that it looks good? Having good workout clothes will most certainly motivate you to start exercising and take care of your body. In addition, this trend popularized healthy lifestyle – exercising, drinking smoothies, eating healthily – so that fitness has become one of the most important aspects of people’s lives. Even if you’re not sporty, rocking this trend will make you think about all the unhealthy choices you’ve been making, thus encouraging you to use your gym gear to work on yourself. These clothes serve as a positive reinforcement when it comes to working out, so women do not only seek to be skinny and thin, but also very athletic and strong, which is an excellent thing.
Wearing leggings to yoga sessions has always been very popular, but nowadays it’s also quite trendy. Not only is this way of dressing super comfortable, it is also so widespread that you can find amazing pieces for quite low and affordable prices. Moreover, as already mentioned, it’s quite versatile. For example, the biggest trend in athleisure today is bodybuilding, and we’re not only talking about lifting weights. The fitness fashion combinations became very popular, so, for example, if you wear running shoes for a cup of coffee in the mall or to your favourite coffee place, you’ll definitely look like you’re following the latest fashion trends. What’s good about this is that you can get nice, comfortable and high-quality ones for a reasonable price.
Today, it is the bodybuilding trend that’s grown on us, but what will it be tomorrow? One thing is certain, you never know what to expect, but once it arrives, we adore it. Even though we might raise an eyebrow or two at first, soon enough we’ll be indulging in all the athleisure trend clothing lines and new collections.
Times have changed, and together with them, the fashion trends followed suit. Even though we like to look formal and on point as far as formal events are concerned, why not look both comfortable and trendy during the day? | 2019-04-21T18:07:27 | http://www.whyttmagazine.com/why-is-athleisure-the-best-fashion-trend-ever/ |
How do you become a Freelance Writer | Becoming a freelance writer?
I'm a sophomore student. You wonder where you can best start as a freelance writer? There are two great ways to start and get started right now.
So, you like to type and you've heard so much about jobless and freelance workers. and that you like it, so what's to stop you? Nonetheless, what you need to face is that if you choose to go the freelance written course, you are endowed to be a prosperous freelance writer.
As with any careers, there are unique thoughts and sector practice you need to know. These are some of the best tips for becoming a successfull freelance writer:1. determine if freelance typing is right for you. Self-employed authors are often seen as "living life".
This is correct to a certain extent, but just because you are a freelance doesn't mean you don't have to be discipline, organised and routinely. Only the best freelance authors have a great deal of self-control. In my opinion, businessmen, freelance workers and the self-employed have to work even more hard than those who work for them, especially when you consider that all the services (e.g. healthcare and dentistry, holidays, illness, etc.) that used to be taken for granted no longer apply.
In order to see if you really like to write like a careers against a fervor, launch a free blog with WordPress or Blogger and see how you enjoyed typing on a everyday base. Self-employed authoring does not have to be a full-time position. I began my own freelance typing carreer with a fulltime financial services company and the creation of web sites and freelancers at dawn.
It took me about two years before I left my position to concentrate on my side work. In order to be great at what you do, it is important that you know how much free write you can devote. When you can't do it full-time right away, make the switch slow.
It' s paramount that you have at least one desk you specialise in. Some of the most" generalist" positions - authors who can do a little research on everything - but the best paid appearances are those that do. Several areas that you can select to become an professional cover face-to-face finances, careers counseling, occupational safety, healthcare, productivity, psychological wellbeing and so on.
You can count on it. Many great authors and businessmen have no official schooling. Create an on-line portfolios. It can be hard for a publishing house to buy something and not know what kind of qualitiy or typing styles to have. You can prevent this by sending e-mails to publishing houses or creating a blogs and presenting an onlineprotfolio.
Well, web-hosting companies have quite literally one-click deployments that do everything for you, leading to an exploding weblogging. Do you want to radiate a professional attitude and show that you are serious about your freelance work? Establish your presence on the Internet. Launching a blogs for your web site is a move in the right direction, but your site is not the only place where you can see it.
You' ll also need to be involved in various websites to connect with other freelance authors, blogs and publishers. Search for freelance typing community, forum, Facebook and linked-in groups and establish connections. You will not only be able to develop a relationship with your age group - which can lead to study and recommendations - but you can also find customers.
Discover the skill of typing inquiry and letter. Are you a great writer, but what does it do for your typing careers if you don't have people? The majority of businesses are operating on-line, and there will always be one or two that can use your copywriting service. However, by far the most efficient place to search is to find jobs on line that are specifically designed for freelance professionals.
Usually I used Craigslist once to find freelance authors, and I ended up with 150 reviews in 7 workdays. If you have more elapsed between 10 and 20 seconds to review your CV and take a sample. Attach all appendices and paper copies. You are a writer - if you don't know the fundamentals, you should rethink your work.
There is such a great tendency to be diverted and become ineffective that it is simple to walk into a trap: "I will do that later. A way to succeed is to set up a daily routines such as getting up at 8am, taking a shower, having a cup of tea and a cup of tea, and checking your e-mails to determine where to begin.
As a freelance writer, especially full-time, means that you may have times of little or no work, which means that your earnings will hurt. Accountable finance is essential to the succes of freelance work because it will keep you from ever getting frantic and working under your salary. Don't overlook your welfare lives.
Work at home is (almost always) an integral part of working as a freelance writer. For many freelance authors, the work isolates them from the reality. As loneliness can be critical to your productiveness, it is also important to have a good work-life equilibrium, as with any other careers.
You will be creative and enthusiastic about a healthier lifestyle, which in turn will help you become a freelance writer. When you like to write, there are many freelance appearances for it. Simply take these easy footsteps and you are on your way to becoming a freelance author.

The next generation core processors from Intel--codenamed “Ivy Bridge”--are slowly making their way into desktops and laptops. Dell shared details of new Latitude laptops that incorporate the Ivy Bridge processors and are designed from the ground up to be productivity workhorses for business customers.
Dell is bringing a lot more to the table than just the Ivy Bridge architecture. The new laptops include a plethora of features that make them more durable, improve performance, and enhance security.
Dell is refreshing the Latitude line with new Intel 'Ivy Bridge' processors.
Laptops can take a beating. They can be dropped. They are banged around in transit from one place to another. Cords are tripped over and laptops are yanked off conference room tables to crash on the ground.
Dell has put some features in place to help protect your laptop investment. The Latitude laptops have a StrikeZone shock absorber to help cushion the fall and prevent significant physical damage. Dell also protects the hard drive with a Fast Respose Free-Fall Sensor and a rubber bumper for the hard drive to protect data from being corrupted or destroyed.
With the battery options maxed out, the Dell Latitude line is theoretically capable of delivering nearly 33 hours of battery life. ExpressCharge enables you to get the batteries up to 80 percent with only an hour of charging. Dell also offers an optional 128GB SSD drive which can improve boot speeds and performance for reading and writing data.
The Latitude laptops offer options to enhance security for business users as well. The laptops offer a TPM (Trusted Platform Module), and Dell’s exclusive Hardware Encryption Accelerator.
The lineup of Dell Latitudes includes the E6230, E6330, E6430, E6530, E5430, and E5530. The laptops come in 12.5-inch, 13.3-inch, 14-inch, and 15.6-inch varieties, and also include management tools to make it easier for IT admins to optimize, monitor, and protect the laptops.
If you’re in the market for new business-class laptops, the Dell Latitude line is certainly worth taking a look at. It still might make some sense, though, to wait a few months to see what other Ivy Bridge systems hit the street, and what ultrabooks, or Windows 8 laptops might add to the mix. | 2019-04-21T01:18:58 | https://www.pcworld.com/article/256594/dell_unveils_ivy_bridge_refresh_for_business_laptops.html |

How to use this Dictionary. In: Rogers G. Rogers G Ed. Glenn Rogers.eds. English-Spanish Medical Dictionary New York, NY: McGraw-Hill; . http://accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?bookid=2248§ionid=174576329. Accessed April 19, 2019.
. "How to use this Dictionary." English-Spanish Medical Dictionary Rogers G. Rogers G Ed. Glenn Rogers. New York, NY: McGraw-Hill, , http://accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?bookid=2248§ionid=174576329.
For easy reference this guide is organized according to the different possible parts of a dictionary entry in the order in which they appear.
Entry-terms are listed in alphabetical order and are bolded. For the purpose of alphabetization, punctuation marks and spaces are ignored. Alphabetization of the Spanish-English side is identical to that of the English-Spanish side save for the inclusion of the letter ñ, which immediately follows n.
For terms with multiple meanings only those meanings relevant to medicine are translated. For instance, under throw the reader will find to throw up and to throw one’s back out, but not the usual meaning of the word throw.
Chemical names consisting of more than one word are alphabetized according to the first word of the term. Also alphabetized this way are terms, such as black widow, which have meanings different from the sum of their parts. Other terms consisting of more than one word can generally be found as sub-entries under the dominant word of the term, usually a noun. This system lends itself to lists; for example, all the syndromes are listed under syndrome and all the arteries are listed under artery.
Abbreviations immediately follow the term they abbreviate and are enclosed in parentheses. English abbreviations are often used for Spanish terms; for example, INR is used far more often than RNI to abbreviate razón normalizada internacional. Where an abbreviation appears for an English term but not its Spanish counterpart, it can be assumed that the English abbreviation is the one most commonly used.
Notations of grammatical category are italicized abbreviations which indicate the part of speech, number (singular or plural), and gender of the word they follow. Their meanings can be found in the "List of Abbreviations" that follows. The two that might give readers trouble are mf, which applies to Spanish nouns such as cardiólogo -ga, which are masculine or feminine according to context, and m&f, which applies to certain Spanish nouns, such as enzima, which may be treated as either masculine or feminine, irrespective of context.
For English entries these include comparatives formed other than by adding -er or -r, superlatives formed other than by adding -est or -st, plurals formed other than by adding -s or -es, preterites and past participles formed other than by adding -d or -ed, and gerunds formed other than by adding -ing (possibly after dropping a silent e).
For Spanish entries these include plurals formed other than by adding -es to a terminal consonant, plurals which involve a change in the location of an accent, plurals of nouns which end in an accented vowel, and past participles which have endings other than -ado or -ido.
In the first example, if you are already talking about a finger you could simply use dedo, but out of context dedo could mean toe in which case you would want to use the full translation: dedo de la mano. In the second example the parentheses indicate that sentido de equilibrio and sentido del equilibrio are both acceptable translations. In the third example se is required for the translation of adapt as an intransitive verb but not as a transitive verb. The fourth example is an economical way of demonstrating a pattern of translations. In the fifth example provocado is an alternative to inducido.
In the Spanish-English section of the dictionary indications of gender are included in the notations of grammatical category. In the English-Spanish section indications of gender follow the first appearance of a noun translation which is not a masculine noun ending in o or a feminine noun ending in a. This rule does not apply if the gender of the noun is evident from a modifying adjective.
operate vt, vi operar; to operate machinery..operar maquinaria...We need to operate on your leg..Tenemos que operarle (de) la pierna.
Dashes are not used to replace the entry-term when the entry-term is pluralized, inflected, or combined with another term by a hyphen. Sub-entries are listed in alphabetical order save that plurals are treated as though they were singular. | 2019-04-19T08:18:46 | https://accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?bookid=2248§ionid=174576329 |

Some 2km south of the city centre, the suburb of Carouge is a quite different experience from Geneva proper. Practically deserted until 1754, the township, now as then beyond the city limits, was granted to Victor Amideus, King of Sardinia (ruling from Turin). The king envisioned Carouge as a trading competitor to Geneva – one day possibly overtaking it – and turned it into a refuge for Catholics, Protestants unable to stomach Geneva’s puritanical ways and, uniquely in Europe for the time, even Jews. Turinese architects developed a chessboard design of crisscrossing streets planted with trees, and low houses with wooden, Mediterranean-style galleries looking into internal gardens. From 1774 to 1792, this hamlet of a hundred people grew to a bustling town of four thousand and, although Carouge never did overtake Geneva, it’s still something of a refuge from the city, its quiet, attractive streets packed with artists’ workshops, old-style cafés and some of the city’s best small-scale nightlife. Its tourist-office tag is the “Greenwich Village of Geneva”, and although the streetlife is considerably less thrilling than that might suggest, it’s still worth a half-day wander.
Trams #12 or #13 from the city centre can drop you at the Place du Marché in the heart of Carouge, still used as a marketplace and starting point for random exploration of the quarter. Rue St-Joseph is shoulder-to-shoulder artisans, from carpenters to milliners – check out the elegant exposed-mechanism clocks of Jean Kazes at no. 21, Anne-Claude Virchaux’s linen-cotton clothes at no. 13, and the delicate artworks of the florist Les Cinq Sens round the corner on Place du Temple. A major feature of Carouge are the delightful internal galleried gardens which lurk behind almost every gate: most are open, so feel free to explore. | 2019-04-22T08:36:47 | http://isyours.com/e/guide/geneva/carouge.html |

Nigerian financial institution Heritage Bank has finally released a statement on it’s association with Big Brother Naija 2018 housemate Tobi ‘Oluwatobi Bakre’.
There have been a lot of rumours circulating around especially on social media platforms that Tobi is a staff of Heritage bank who was intentionally planted in the Big Brother Naija house to market the bank.
We can now confirm with absolute certainty that Heritage Bank has no hand or any influence in Bakre’s participation in the ongoing Big Brother Naija Season 3.
This week the bank also came out and cleared the air stating that it has no influence on Tobi’s participation in Big Brother Naija 2018, the bank further stated that it’s only association with Tobi is the fact that he’s their former employee who actually resigned before making it in the Big Brother Naija house.
“We know you have all been wondering about Tobi’s connection to Heritage Bank. This is to clarify that he is a former staff of the bank and resigned appropriately prior to the Big Brother Naija show.” Heritage Bank stated on their official Twitter account.
Below is a screenshot of Heritage Bank’s tweet.
We hope this has now cleared the air.. | 2019-04-18T15:20:42 | https://www.bigbrothernaija.net/heritage-bank-releases-statement-on-association-with-bbnaija-housemate-tobi-bakre/ |
Want to raise more money with your next silent auction? This list of the top 10 silent auction items is a great place to start!
There are certain items that always sell well at any charity auction, so check out this list of auction tips for the best silent auction items that sell well. This particular list of silent auction items ideas are ones will attract lots of bids and always command high prices.
After all, when you’re trying to raise more money you really don’t need to be selling even more auction items that end up go for less than $100 each. In fact, sometimes it’s a lot better to sell fewer items at much higher prices by combining related items together.
Why? Because raising more money at your auction is about offering quality, not quantity. Reduce the number of auction items offered and you’ll raise more money by creating an air of scarcity. When you offer too many items and create a feeling of surplus, people spend their time looking for bargains because you have way more items than necessary.
Silent auction items that generate intense demand are usually creative, unique, and highly desirable.
Once-In-A-Lifetime Experiences – Exotic trips like an African photo safari, a trip to Tahiti, a visit to Japan, and other fabulous destinations are some of the best silent auction items when it comes to total dollars raised for your cause. It’s simple to arrange these from an auction consignment company and they provide all the promotional material and descriptions. The key when offering these types of expensive auction items is to promote them ahead of time on your website, Facebook page, event flyer, etc. so that your attendees arrive eager to bid on these big-ticket items.
Vacation Trip Packages – Turn related donations into a vacation trip package. For instance, Disney offers nonprofits a donation of four ParkHopper passes which sell for $356. Bundle that with a vacation rental deal at a nearby hotel or resort condo. Include a fun basket of things to do and eat on the road trip there and you have a complete vacation trip package. Also, there are several auction consignment companies that offer very desirable vacation trip packages at prices where you can easily net $1,000 or more on each package at auction without any upfront cost.
Creative Artwork – Unique artwork is highly desirable, but hard to get donated from major artists. There are some items you can get on consignment, but its often better to be creative and about ways to come up with your own artwork. For instance, you can turn photographs of local noteworthy landmarks into printed canvases generated by over-sized inkjet printers. There are websites that can create a “fire map” of your city’s streets where an aerial view of a neighborhood has streets painted in a bright high-contrast color scheme that makes the streets look like they are on fire on the printed canvas. These types of creative silent auction items can spark a bidding war that can easily triple the suggested selling price.
Unique Dining Experiences – Offer a dinner for eight at a top local restaurant where the chef cooks right there at table-side. That’s much more unique and enjoyable than a cooking class! Include some specialty donated wines in the experience and ask the restaurant to waive the corking fee. Or, you can put together a group dine-around where a group of 10 to 12 people is chauffeured to a series of top restaurants each Friday night for a month. The more different and unique the experience is, the higher the value it will command at your auction.
Hot Air Balloon Rides – A company called Fundraising Rides offers hot air balloon rides in over 200 cities across the country. They provide a complete silent auction display with pictures, description and miniature hot-air balloon. You get a two-person package and a four person package and only pay if they sell, which they almost always do if promoted properly. Selling both trips will net your cause $600 from these two silent auction items.
Music Memorabilia – Signed music memorabilia make great silent auction items if properly promoted. Most of these sell for several hundred dollars each, but don’t use too many of them or you won’t get enough bids on each one to drive the prices up where you need them. The consignment companies provide descriptions, certificates of authenticity, and will ship them to you for your event. Most expect you to pay return freight if they don’t sell, so don’t go overboard on the quantity. They are still an excellent way to raise large amounts of money because they are unique silent auction items that get music fans excited.
Sports Memorabilia – You can get sports memorabilia for your silent auction by requesting a donation from your local pro sports team and by ordering some high-end items from one of several auction consignment companies. usually, local teams will donate one signed item per nonprofit per year, so going the consignment route lets you offer several other options. Don’t offer too many of these. Get creative and bundle a signed jersey with some donated game tickets. For best auction results, publicize your most expensive items well ahead of your event.
Luxury Vacation Rentals – Another source of great silent auction items are vacation accommodations available through consignment firms. They handle all the paperwork, provide detailed descriptions & photos, plus they allow you to reserve available dates and list them at your auction. That’s perfect for when you want to offer a ski condo in Breckenridge for the Christmas holidays during a November silent auction. There’s a wide range of properties available at resort destinations all across the country. Most of the firms let you offer four different vacation rentals at your auction which lets you net thousands of dollars from offering these vacation deals at your auction.
Unique Experiences For Children – Work with local merchants on donations that will help bring them business in return. Instead of asking an ice cream parlor for a gift certificate, ask them if they can offer a child a chance to create a unique ice cream flavor. The experience can be shared with a dozen friends (think birthday party) or their school classmates (think field trip).
Other experiences that children would like (and lots of parents will bid on) are Policeman For A Day, Fireman For A Day, etc. Look into the various fundraising offerings from your local pro sports team. After all, what child doesn’t want to meet their favorite player?
Fun Outings – Combine similar donated items into super baskets such as a Spa Day, Day At the Beach, Craft Beer Tour, Vineyard Tour, Pub Crawl for 12 (think birthday or anniversary gift). Or offer a small group of people (4 to 8 individuals) a fun outing such as a Zoo Excursion, Powerboating Cruise, Canoe Trips, Whitewater Rafting, etc.
If you want to get more silent auction donations, check out our list of 101 auction donation sources that links to all the best deals from national companies.
You can also get lots of great silent auction items donated by signing up at DonationMatch.org. Simply enter your nonprofit’s information, check some boxes to indicate what type of items you are looking for, and when you need the items. Their system matches donors with nonprofits quickly and easily. Talk about easy peasy!
Creative silent auction items are a breeze if you combine multiple donated items into themed baskets. Here’s a list of 500 silent auction basket ideas to get you started.
Combine lots of different food items into a super party basket by bundling it with some donated wine. Create an Ultimate Coffee Lovers basket with exotic blends, a French press, or gift certificates for freshly roasted beans each month for a year.
Don’t make your silent auction items dull and boring. Be creative and go wildly over the top in assembling the best possible bundles.
By reducing quantity and emphasizing quality, you’ll have a choice list of silent auction items that sell well. Plus, by combining related donated items into themed auction baskets, you’ll make everything offered that much more desirable to your bidders.
That smaller batch of premium silent auction offerings will make it easier to organize your auction display area, attract more bids per item, and sell at a higher price than a whole bunch of smaller less desirable items will.
And thus, your goal of raising more money at your next silent auction is achieved with less work and happier bidders. | 2019-04-19T14:53:06 | https://www.fundraiserhelp.com/top-10-silent-auction-items.htm |

Is Deafness In The Workplace The New Whiplash?
AXA Insurance had more claims for deafness than any other type of workplace injury or illness in 2012, at a cost of £26 million. But it is possible that the increase in noise-induced hearing loss claims are being fuelled by claims management companies and compensation lawyers and not necessarily based on a genuine increase in hearing problems.
Anyone working with noisy equipment, particularly those in the construction, manufacturing or music industries, can be at risk of noise-induced hearing loss. And once hearing has been damaged it won’t come back.
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), 17,000 people in the UK suffer deafness, ringing in the ears or other conditions caused by excessive noise at work. The good news is that new cases of noise-induced deafness qualifying for Industrial Injuries Scheme disablement benefit have fallen over the last ten years, says the HSE.
At the same time, claims against insurance policies have been rocketing. AXA Business Insurance saw a year-on-year rise of 75% in the number of deafness claims in 2012 – a rise of 162% between 2009 and 2012.While it believes that many of the claims are genuine, AXA has also seen evidence of a growing number of fraudulent claims. It believes the trend in these claims has many similarities to the massive rise in personal injury claims among drivers of the last few years and that increase is being fuelled by compensation lawyers and claims management companies targeting potential claimants.
In fact, a quick search online of noise-induced hearing loss brings up a list of adverts for compensation lawyers ahead of any useful advice on how to prevent hearing loss at work.
Even if you are just visiting noisy premises to see clients you will need to observe the health and safety rules and perhaps pop some ear plugs in your pocket before you leave home. | 2019-04-25T00:48:38 | https://www.sentinelrisk.co.uk/latest-news/deafness-workplace-whiplash/ |
Dr. Sekou Nkrumah, the last son of Ghana�s first President Dr. Kwame Nkrumah says the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) should not use the circumstances surrounding his father�s death to run away from answering pertinent questions being asked concerning late President John Mills� death.
His comments come on the heels of former Chief of Staff, Nana Ato Dadzie�s comments that Sekou Nkrumah himself appears to be ignorant of what actually killed his own father.
Speaking on Joy FM on Saturday July 27, Nana Ato Dadzie contested Dr. Sekou Nkrumah�s knowledge of his own father�s death and used that as a basis to question the latter�s justification in demanding details of the cause of President Mills� death.
�Sekou says that his father died of prostate cancer, but we all do know that skin cancer was a major factor,� Mr. Ato Dadzie insisted on the programme.
His intervention was a sequel to fellow discussant Kweku Baako Jnr�s assertions that the August 11, 1962 Kulungugu bombing incident, which was an assassination attempt on Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, was �part of the reasons why he died�.
The New Crusading Guide Newspaper Editor-in-Chief said despite earlier claims by officialdom that Dr. Nkrumah escaped the assassination attempt unscathed, he sustained injuries which later played a role in his death.
Dr. Nkrumah however told XYZ News that the issue is not about Nkrumah.
��The issue is that was Prof Mills sick? And if it is yes, how long has he been sick and what kind of sickness, because if it is a serious sickness like cancer� as former President John Rawlings had told the BBC, �then was Prof. Mills fit to continue to be in office? I think that�s the question that concerns Ghanaians but I�m not too sure why the NDC leadership wants to twist things around to make it appear that people are saying who killed Prof. Mills or what did Prof Mills die from�.
Calls for the cause of the late President were resuscitated last week during the week-long celebration of the first year anniversary of the late President�s passing.
Speculations became rife again about what killed Prof. Mills and the processes and circumstances that led to his death.
Former Director General of the Ghana Health Service and renowned pathologist, Prof. Agyeman Badu Akosa contributed to the debate by calling for investigations into the processes of his death rather than focusing on what killed the late President. | 2019-04-23T20:06:05 | http://www.peacefmonline.com/pages/politics/politics/201307/170167.php |

RSI oscillates between zero and 100. Traditionally, and according to Wilder, RSI is considered overbought when above 70 and oversold when below 30. Signals can also be generated by looking for divergences, failure swings, and centerline crossovers. RSI can also be used to identify the general trend. These traditional levels can also be adjusted to better fit the security or analytical requirements. Raising overbought to 80 or lowering oversold to 20 will reduce the number of overbought/oversold readings.

“If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair…” This wonderful, yet God-awfully catchy, 1967 Scott McKenzie tune rang in my head for at least month. I was so damn excited that it’s hard to put into words what I was feeling at the time. I was finally going somewhere that I really wanted to see for myself: just buy the tickets and go. This was the first time I’d ever done that and now after going, I really wish that I could live there but I also don’t think I want to do that either. Let me explain.
I imagined that there was actually going to be hippies in the streets, smoking weed and tripping out on acid, wearing tye-dye shirts, and yes, even maybe some of them would have a flower stuck in their dreaded hair too. Boy, was I ever in for a reality check. There were at least a few things that I can think of that I wasn’t prepared for before going on this trip and I want to refine them further later on: the cost of things, the housing problem and the significance of the city.
This trip happened in late April a couple of years ago and I woke up especially early at 4 a.m. for my cheap 6:30 a.m. flight. I ecstatically sang along to my radio in the steamy-hot shower. I drew hearts in the foggy mirror while I was brushing my teeth and the large grin stuck unconsciously staring back at me couldn’t help but dance in anticipation and blissful naïveté. As for the traveling itself, I had a very long stopover in Seattle (not long enough to actually leave the airport and do something but long enough to go for a smoke and go through security) and with the time differences, I eventually got to a beautifully warm, sunny northern California at 5 p.m—cheap means 11 hour travel times.
After meeting up with my ex-lover—who had just arrived as well at another gate from another flight—we had an emotional heart filled reunion in a busy international terminal; still trying to ignore the blank stares from the people shuffling around us. After wiping away our tears, we sluggishly caught the BART (the Bay area’s subway system) and made our way into the glistening city. It was about an hour in total from the airport to the hotel: it being dark by the time that we booked in.
I found a budget hotel on TripAdvisor called the Union Square Plaza Hotel. It was reasonable accommodation at the time at $85 a night—considering that we didn’t spend any time in the room except for when we were sleeping and getting ready in the morning. I have checked the prices lately and now its skyrocketed to $200 a night without there being any renovations or any changes at all.
After freakishly inspecting the bed for bedbugs because I’m paranoid like that, we dropped off our bags in the dusty room, locked the door behind us with the old-school key and went out for a late dinner with some delicious wine.
Overnight, the sirens, yelling and horns of the busy streets outside leaked in—almost uninterrupted—through the unkept insulation surrounding the single-pane-glass windows. We had them all closed shut and it literally did nothing to muffle the never-ending assault. This made earplugs an essential traveling tool from there on out. Four hours of restless sleep later, we left the hotel hungover or still drunk.
There was a gloomy overcast lingering above us and it must have rained while we were sleeping because the air was wet. We didn’t bring umbrellas with us. We retreated into a GNC when it started pouring, which was selling them for the low, low price of $15. It did have a little flashlight in it: making it worth it. The rain wasn’t stormy but rather it randomly came and went all day long and it never got so bad that we had to go inside somewhere else. This gave me lots of time to take pictures of the beautiful architecture and meticulously-refined streetscapes around Market Street.
Making our way to the Embarcadero, a busy multi-use boulevard that follows the shoreline almost all the way around the peninsula, we met an older German couple that was on a year-long cruise. They had some pretty weird stories to share with us. We hung out with them for a while and headed back into to the Commercial District. We really wanted to check out China Town.
We started to feel a little overwhelmed with all of the shops that were selling souvenirs. After going in a few them and buying a couple things, we both had to have a talk about how much money we were actually planning on spending there. This was the first of thing that I really wasn’t prepared for: the exponential cost of everything in San Francisco.
We found that almost everything was overpriced and that made most tourist attractions unattractive to us. We made the best of being broke 20-somethings; enjoyed the sights and smells, and found a 24-hour diner which had an affordable and delicious menu that we ended up going to every single day.
This brings up the second thing I wasn’t prepared for: the housing crisis. There were a lot of homeless people on the streets and I mean a lot of them. Almost at every corner and in the Tenderloin neighbourhood there were multiple groups on every block. I’m not trying to be offensive but I’ve never seen anything like it. At the beginning, I just assumed that they were there in droves just because it was such a big, global city but I started to realize that the issue goes much deeper than that and it’s actually the most paramount socioeconomic issue for the very dense, hilly city.
The crisis itself stems from the notion that everyone wants to be there. We must have met at least three people who had jobs in the city but they were dwelling in a hotel because they couldn’t find anywhere to rent. We ran into a bunch of characters on the trams who told us about the hardships they were facing by trying to live and make a living in such a popular tourist attraction. The most vivid memory I have was a man on a streetcar that tried to sell me a pitbull puppy (which he was carrying with him) for $100. On the second night, we split a cab with a guy coming back from the club we were at. He was rolling around his suitcase because the hotel-type-place he was staying at got everyone in every room to sign out daily and come back on a nightly basis to get their room back.
The beautiful, iconic houses we walked by were all at least a million dollars. We noticed that many of them were being renovated; it seemed like a major housing boom was happening. Those picturesque, Victorian mansions ossified all of the stories and criticisms that we were hearing as authentic perspectives on the reality in which a majority of young American professionals and students were in. The desperate scramble to grab the few rooms that may pop up has left many employed people to stay in hotels—something is wrong there.
We stumbled upon a few art galleries which seemed made for people of a higher class than us. The unspoken dichotomy of every street, the densely compacted separation between those who went there and those who walked by became suddenly clear.
How can I say this in a way that doesn’t seem like I’m trying to talk down the city: we felt very much out of place while we were there. It was like being somewhere that wasn’t made for non-rich tourists. It felt as if we chose the wrong destination on the map. I know that there are a lot of places to go which aren’t so expensive to eat and stay—like say an Airbnb, a hostel, Couchsurfing—but it is very mentionable that the environment is catered to an upper-middle-class traveler and not for those who are on a budget.
Think about this: I grew up watching the Full House. I was at the right age to be susceptible to what I saw on television. I found out that the houses in the opening credits are obviously not the “actual” house that the Fuller family was being filmed inside of: it’s just T.V. magic. I wanted to get a picture of those houses for some odd reason. It was, in my mind, one of the priorities of the whole trip. I find that pretty uncanny because I know that they are nothing but the three-second clip at the beginning of a 90s show but still, I couldn’t help myself.
It’s fascinating how tourists constantly fill up Alamo Square Park located across the street from the Painted Ladies. It’s like a 90s-kid pilgramage. When I was standing among many strangers—all of whom were attracted for the same reason as me—it threw me into a possessive attitude. I also wanted the perfect memory to bring back home. This is when the final thing I wasn’t prepared for became apparent: the psychological draw of a major tourist destination and the historical importance of the entire area.
The whole city felt like a stage and by going to those houses and all the other tourist attractions in real life after seeing them countless times before made me numbingly content but still I remained unsatisfied somehow. The buildings, the bridges, the people; the neon lights, the open 24-hour shops, the packed sidewalks, the lines like Disneyland to get everywhere; we were more than happy to get across the Golden Gate Bridge and see another, more quiet part of the urban area for a bit.
I recommend to anyone to rent a bicycle for the day when coming to San Francisco. I know it may sound daunting because it is such a steep landscape but there are many bike routes to take which avoid any inclines. We browsed different areas near the Palace of Fine Arts (built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition) and didn’t have any difficulty getting anywhere that we wanted to go.
I had to check out the Castro neighbourhood. I’m so happy there is a place for gay people to hold hands in public and feel totally comfortable. We felt absolutely free and I wish there were more places like it. I was admittedly drunk most the time I was there, so I don’t have much else to say but I do trust I will go back soon so I can explore the area more.
By the end, I had seen and heard things which I will never forget. The short glimpses that I can remember make me want to return even though the atmosphere was not what I expected: there weren’t any hippies with flowers in their hair. In a span of less than 72 hours we were chased and yelled at on different occasions and that’s okay.
The first time I visited San Francisco I was four years old. The hippies were still there (I so wanted to be one of them when I grew up – all that color and those flowers). I fell in love with the city and returned many times. although it’s been 20 years since my last visit.
It sounds as if the challenges (housing crisis, growing divide between have and have not, the homelessness) have continued to increase exponentially. But it still calls me back.
Wow, 20 years ago! Lisa, you have to go back ASAP! I’m sure a lot has changed. There is something special about that city for sure. I loved my trip. Thank you very much for your thoughtful response, I’m very, very glad you liked it!! The pictures did fit in pretty well, hey! My next one is going to be on my trip to Costa Rica, and I’ll try to do the same as I did with this one. Take care!!
San Francisco would be a city I’d like to explore and live in – maybe one day. Your post definitely brought that dream back to me. Thank you.
I’m glad to hear! You will love it! It’s a wonderful place. | 2019-04-21T20:02:04 | https://thenoisymouse.wordpress.com/2018/01/28/san-francisco-gentle-people-with-flowers-in-their-hair/ |

Dr. Bader Al-Shammari earned his Ph.D at the University of Western Australia, Perth in 2005. Currently he is an associate professor of College of Business Studies, the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training, Kuwait. He is an editorial board member of Afro-Asian Journal of Finance and Accounting. He has research interest in enforcement and compliance with International Financial reporting Standards by the Middle Eastern countries, voluntary disclosure, corporate governance and cost of quality reporting. He has published in International Journal of Accounting, Journal of International Business and Economics, Review of Business Research and the Middle East Business and Economic Review.
This study investigated the association between corporate governance mechanisms and corporate risk disclosure (CRD) in the annual reports for a sample of 109 Kuwaiti listed non-financial companies in 2012. The study used a manual content analysis to measure risk disclosure by counting the number of risk-related sentences in annual reports. A multiple regression analysis was used to test the impact of board size, non-executive directors, percentage of family members on board, role duality, and audit committee on CRD. The quantity of risk disclosures in the Kuwaiti companies' annual reports was very limited. The results showed that the larger board size has a positive impact on CRD. However, the findings also indicated the existence of role duality lead to lower risk disclosure. Other corporate governance mechanisms did not explain variation in CRD.

Nov. 28, 2017 - UPS has announced an agreement with Big Ox Energy (a wholly owned subsidiary of Environmental Energy Capital LLC) to purchase 10 million gallon equivalents of renewable natural gas (RNG) per year. This is the largest investment in RNG to date for the company, and the agreement runs through 2024. Use of RNG yields up to a 90 per cent reduction in lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions when compared to conventional diesel.
In addition to the agreement with Big Ox, UPS signed a five-year agreement earlier this year with AMP energy for 1.5 million gallon equivalents of RNG per year from the Fair Oaks dairy farm in Indiana. The RNG agreements will help UPS reach a key sustainability goal: 40 per cent of all ground transportation fleet fuel from sources other than conventional gasoline and diesel by 2025.
UPS fuelling stations in Lexington, Ky.; Louisville, Ky.; New Stanton, Pa.; Richmond, Va.; Roanoke, Va.; West Columbia, S.C.; Horsham, Pa. and Doraville, Ga. will use the Bix Ox RNG to fuel UPS delivery vehicles and tractors. | 2019-04-24T12:30:55 | https://www.canadianbiomassmagazine.ca/biofuel/ups-increases-rng-use-by-10-million-gallons-a-year-6618 |

I've got a problem with stats. There is nothing in the directory. I tot it was webalizer but it seems that the logs directory is also empty. I have 3 domains and only 1 domain has something in the logs directory and has stats. I've no idea how to fix this. Please help. Thanks.
Please make sure that you have vlogger installed as described in the ispconfig 3 installation tutorials.
I found the problem ... my apache.conf file had my static IP in it rather than a *:80 ... it's all fixed now and the log has details on the virtual domains rather than just the server itself.

When I made my pretty little white lace sheath dress late last summer, I didn't plan to take it past early fall... I wore it for our anniversary pics and loved it, but around the same time saw some fun inspiration for taking your white lace dress into fall and winter--add some red, some tights, some tan leather... could be cute. But now it's hardly even fall anymore, no leaves on the trees and the color scheme is more grey than warm fall tones! So I took it a step further. ;) This weekend I made my lace dress work for winter with tights, an edgy jacket, and a colorful infinity scarf.
Been wearing this jacket a lot lately!! And got the clutch at Target clearance for $5 after I saw Sam's, which she also got for $5... lucky Target clearance-ing!
I loved adding the color from the scarf! It's a knit infinity scarf from this Etsy shop. I have seriously been wanting more color this fall--seems I always like things better in grey, or white...--so adding a bright print scarf has been keeping my outfits from being completely neutral.
Jacket: Ross (similar/similar/similar). Scarf: Ooh Baby Designs. Clutch: Target.
Shooties: JC Penney. Dress: DIY!
I love the jacket! It's both cute and kinda rock'n'roll. The winter is tough on us bloggers in harsher climates. At this point I'm lucky to have some light at all, and it's gone by 3 p.m, sometimes even earlier. Can't wait for the longer days to be back.
You really made this dress so versatile with great styling. We'll be moving back north this year and I understand the fading light dilemma. I always countdown until the turn of the year in decmber since it's the light that I crave more than summer warmth.
I love the way you styled this dress and I think it looks perfect for winter! Who says you can't wear white after Labor Day?! I also hate that it gets darker earlier!!!
This is great inspiration because I just bought a white lace dress off the clearance rack at Urban! I totally feel you on how early it gets dark... I've been taking photos in the morning with my sleepy face on, I have about a 20 minute windows of daylight before I have to catch the bus.
I discovered your blog recently, and really love your creativity! Sometimes I wish the tutorials are in more details so a beginning seamstress like me can follow them.
From your blog, I can see how useful patterns can be. I only have one so far, and am looking to collect more. I am wondering if it will be possible if you can have a post about some of your favourite patterns or the patterns that you find more useful? Thank you!
Thanks! I haven't done too many tutorials lately, just some simple ones. Although, I have posted about my favorite simple patterns: http://www.adventuresindressmaking.com/2011/03/sewing-circle-sale-fabric-good-beginner.html so that should help! Also check out this post about how to sew with patterns http://www.adventuresindressmaking.com/2012/09/how-to-use-sewing-pattern.html and how to get the right pattern size http://www.adventuresindressmaking.com/2010/08/sewing-circle-how-to-cut-out-right.html and how to get the right fit http://www.adventuresindressmaking.com/2012/01/clothing-sizes-are-weird-but-so-are.html. Hope those help!
I've been wanting a white lace dress - love that you made it warm and wintery! Super cute!
You look great! I too am having a hard time adjusting to 4:15 sunsets!
I get so nervous about winter whites! I always feel like I can't pull it off. You look great!
I love your outfit! The white in winter is especially unexpected. When I think about it, I don't own any white dresses besides my wedding dress. I think it makes a great statement, and I love that you MADE it!
Genius! And, such a money saver too! Being on a budget makes it difficult to splurge on new stuff every season. It's been ages since I've shopped. So, this definitely inspires me to carry over past seasons to the current ones. I think almost everything is bi-seasonal now-a-days. Florals, even shorts! Excellent reads! I'm inspired. And, cute jacket too!
Love this look! That scarf is darling! I'm not a fan of the early nights either. It's so weird to feel ready for bed at 4:30!
It is a perfect winter stylish look. Where can I get it for my fiance? Winter Clothing is very especial. | 2019-04-23T16:37:51 | http://www.create-enjoy.com/2012/12/winter-white-lace-dress.html |

Merril Silverstein is the inaugural holder of the Marjorie Cantor Endowed Professorship in Aging, a joint appointment in the Falk College and the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. A prolific scholar and researcher, Silverstein joins Syracuse University from the University of Southern California, where he served as professor of gerontology and sociology.
As an active member of the USC Andrus Gerontology Center, he has published more than 130 age-related publications. He currently serves as editor of Journal of Gerontology: Social Sciences, the discipline’s flagship journal produced by the Gerontological Society of America. He has received nearly $4.5 million in external grants for aging-related research, particularly on topics relating to intergenerational aging within the context of family life, including issues of social support, public policy, and later-life migration. He is currently principal investigator of the Longitudinal Study of Generations, a project that has tracked multigenerational families over four decades. He has active projects around the globe, including Sweden, the Netherlands, and Israel on topics of aging and intergenerational relations and currently directs a longitudinal study of older adults in rural China that is entering its second decade.
Silverstein’s appointment as the Cantor Professor recognizes the pioneering scholarship of the late Professor Marjorie Cantor that advanced understanding of the lifestyles of older persons, the importance of caregiver support systems, and needs of elders across class and culture. SU Chancellor Nancy Cantor and her brother, Richard L. Cantor, established the professorship in memory of their mother, who died in 2009. Silverstein will play a role in advancing collaborative research and teaching in the field of aging through Syracuse University’s interdisciplinary Aging Studies Institute.

The decision to establish a formal Management Information and Control System (MICS) becomes almost inevitable in today’s business climate. The accelerating needs for uniform, concise and timely information by all levels of management dictates the establishment of such a system. The results can be better control of and greater profitability from the enterprise. Essentially the functioning of a MICS involves transmission of all pertinent data necessary to the conduct of a business to one or more management information centers, where it is maintained mid then disseminated in discrete form to all levels of management. This description provides no reference to computers or any other specific type of data processing equipment. This is to emphasize that possession of data processing equipment is not a pre-requisite for a MICS. Computers, punched card equipment, data collection and transmission equipment, etc., are excellent tools that can, if costs and volume warrant, be extremely useful in a MICS programme.
Reluctance of much management to undertake a MICS programme can be traced to the confusion and lack of understanding surrounding the subject of information systems, and how they can be effectively installed: Management is continuously -faced with the frustrations of receiving inadequate, incorrect or untimely information. As a result the validity of management decisions and actions based on this type of information is at times questionable. Timely, adequate and correct information – the means through which management can effectively monitor, control, and plan is becoming increasingly elusive businesses grow in size and complexity.
Progressive companies recognizing this situation are at various stages on development and installation of Management Information and Control System. In many cases the management of these companies, although disillusioned at times with the progress, costs and results achieved, still continues on the path toward MICS. The reasons for this continued determination on the part of management to pursue MICS can be found in its desire to achieve a state in information. Storage, use and handling that will achieve.
Uniformity of Information: With a single source generating the required information.
Reliability of Information: Resulting from adequate controls established and Constantly monitored on all input and output of the system.
On Time Response: Communication of established information needs as often and as quickly as desired.
As these items are achieved the benefits resulting from an MICS become evident, the potential for achievement of substantial reductions in operating costs, information that management can refer to quickly and simply to assist in its decision process, and a smoother more efficient organization that can supply the information when needed. With these benefits available, management can realize such basic contributions to cost reduction and higher profits as improved sales forecasting and production control, increased inventory turnover rate, increased productivity of all facilities etc. The realization and extent of any savings is completely dependent upon management’s ability to understand and effectively utilize the information generated by the system.
An additional cost savings aspect of installing Management Information and Control System is achieved through the elimination, modification and/or combination of system and procedures previously used by the organization. These more immediate savings can be impressive, but not nearly as much as the potential long-range savings that can be achieved once the system is installed. Management should also realize that both short and long-range savings could start being attained without waiting for the installation of the entire system.
Following is a representative listing of the type of information that can be made available to management from a well designed and installed Management Information and Control System. The ability of the system to produce this type of information on time and in a usable form depends on the means employed to design and install the system.
Sales status by product, territory, sales an, etc., with variances.
Inventory position in units and/or dollars-comparison to budgeted.
Inventory items not meeting minimum turnover rate for an established period.
Profit position – by profit centers for an established period.
Production status – by product, plan etc., including orders not on time and reasons for variances.
Budget variances of expenses, capital expenditures, projects, etc., by budget centers.

A new study by eMarketer, released this week, finds that adults in the U.S. are spending more time on their mobile devices than on desktop and laptop computers.
The same study estimates that mobile ad spending has more than doubled in 2013, while desktop ad spending has grown only 1.7%.
1. Visit your website with a smartphone. If you don’t have a smartphone handy, visit http://www.mobilephoneemulator.com/ to simulate the experience of using your site on a smartphone. If your site was redesigned more than a couple years ago, chances are good that it’s not going to look good, or that it will require the user to zoom to view it (certainly a less-than-ideal user experience).
2. Read this study from IDC, which found that 79% of 18 to 44-year-olds have their phones on them or near them for all but 2 hours of their waking day. Furthermore, the same percentage (79%) say that the first thing they do when they wake up each day is to check their smartphone. Among 18-24 year-olds only, the percentage that reach for their phone before they do anything else is 89%.
3. Read this article which compares mobile ad click-through rates with desktop ads. Or, if you don’t have time to read it right now, let me give you the executive summary: mobile ads have much higher click-through rates than desktop ads.
The trend towards mobile computing is clear, and now’s the time to do the work necessary to take advantage of it!

Always on the look out for helpful ways to maintain the lifestyle I/we love while reducing the pile of waste at the end of the day. This weekly column showcases my findings to inspire our collective strive for a diminishing footprint. What do you use, or do, in your life that helps reduce the waste you create in your day? Suggestions welcome.
We love Easter because it signifies the start of spring and the rejuvenation of life around us. But this holiday tends to land us with a lot of waste – all those decorated Easter eggs! This year, we went on a hunt for an innovative way to dispose of Easter eggs while helping Mother Nature regenerate.
Paul West of Gardening with Urban Nitrogen sent out the word in March 2012 that he was collecting Easter eggs from homes in West Seattle to turn into homemade nitrogen-rich fertilizer. Nitrogen, he says, is the most important component for supporting plant growth. And some of the best sources of nitrogen are in our everyday food waste like sour milk, expired or hard-boiled eggs, beans, lean meat, low-fat yogurt, and tofu.
Paul ended up with oodles of eggs for his pilot project, and luckily, left us instructions for how to do it. We love Paul’s method – as simple as putting eggs in a blender – and wanted to share this bit of inspiration. Consider giving the Earth a rebirth by making fertilizer from old eggs this year. Or, tell us your own solution for a waste-free Easter!
You can find Paul’s recipe for homemade garden fertilizer on his blog www.urbannitrogen.blogspot.com. | 2019-04-21T04:43:33 | https://www.crispina.com/rag/2013/03/reconsumereyes-the-egg-man |
Yahel Castillo - a male celebrity - born on Tuesday June 16th 1987, in Unknown.
Yahel Castillo is peacemaker by nature. Because he intuitively knows what people want, or feel, he can be extremely diplomatic and tactful. Patient and cooperative that he is, Yahel works well with groups and somehow finds a way of creating harmony among diverse opinions.
When employing his considerable inner strength, Castillo uncovers his enormous power and abilities to direct difficult situations toward his own goals.

Depression, Drugs, and Serotonin: How Do They Affect You?
Depression is becoming an epidemic. This severe mood disorder is affecting over 300 million Americans each year, according to the World Health Association. Depression is diagnosed when a person feels discouraged, sadness, hopeless, unmotivated, and uninterested with everyday life. To be considered a depressive episode these feelings must be present for two weeks and begin to interfere with activities such as spending time with friends and family.
It’s not uncommon for people with depression to self medicate. Unfortunately, self medication increases the risk of substance abuse.
Substance abuse while seeming to be an effective temporary solution to relieve symptoms, often makes anxiety and depressive symptoms much worse over time. When intoxication occurs with depression, it can increase the frequency of negative thoughts and leads to self-destructive behavior, “brain imaging at Amen Clinics has clearly taught us how harmful drugs abuse is to brain function,” says Dr. Daniel Amen.
Ecstasy tends to be a drug of choice for people suffering from depression. This drug is the most attractive to them because it releases the “feel good” neurotransmitter, serotonin. Unfortunately, ecstasy depletes serotonin stores in the brain and studies show that it can make people more anxious, depressed, and obsessive over time.
Serotonin plays an important role when it comes to depression. What is serotonin exactly? It is a neurotransmitter that produces naturally in our brains before birth and throughout life. It plays intimately important roles in the brain’s biochemistry and is involved in maintaining healthy mood, self-confidence, a healthy appetite, and social engagement.
Instead of masking your depression symptoms with drugs and alcohol, you can help your mood by adding dietary changes, a serotonin supplement, and exercise to help. Dietary interventions should be geared toward naturally increasing serotonin, the neurotransmitter that is deficient in depression.
The amino acid tryptophan is an essential amino acid that is used to produce serotonin. However, tryptophan is found in protein-rich foods. Protein blocks serotonin synthesis, so eating a protein-rich filled meal will cause serotonin levels to drop. If you are feeling depressed, try eating carbohydrate-rich foods like whole wheat pasta, bread, and pretzels actually increase L-tryptophan levels in the brain. Adding more healthy carbohydrates to your diet can have a significant impact on the production of serotonin. Also, adding more exercise is known to release feel-good brain chemicals that can help ease in depression.
Depression isn’t easy. The great news is that making new small lifestyle habit changes can have a big impact on getting your serotonin levels back on track and help create a positive state of mind. | 2019-04-22T21:57:30 | https://www.brainmdhealth.com/blog/depression-drugs-serotonin-affect-you/ |

No, not the Asgardians of Norse legend and of MCU fame, but the newest additions to our homestead.
A while back we made a post about having to find different homes for the two dogs that we had on our homestead. Loki (our Bull Mastiff) and Tygra (our Heinz-57 mutt) were lovely pets, but definitely did not have the pedigree to be LGD's (Livestock Guardian Dogs). Let's just say that they liked the taste of chicken and rabbit too much... I certaintly can't blame them because, I mean, who doesn't? Right? We found good homes for our beautiful, yet predatory dogs, and felt some relief knowing that they wouldn't be killing any more of our animals.
That sense of relief only lasted for a few months. The onset of Spring brought warmer weather and the inevitable four legged predators to terrorize our previously unmolested duck flock. We lost about 6 birds over a span of 4 days to a combination of raccoons and possums.
Fortunately, some late night stake outs with my oldest son, some live traps properly placed around the land and a radio playing music throughout the night has kept the little terrorists away ever since.
Not satisfied with relying on just the radio and not having the time to build a safe and secure coop, we opted to pick up a couple of new puppies that had the "protect the flock" gene already hardwired into them. We found an ad for such puppies on the community wall at a local feed store and jumped on the chance to get them. They are a brother and sister pair. Their mom is 3/4 Great Pyrenees and 1/4 Austrian Shepherd while their dad is 100% Great Pyrenees.
Right from the get go, the differences between our old dogs and these new 12 week old puppies were noticeable. For one, Thor and Lady Sif didn't try to "mouth" you when you went to pet them. Our old dogs couldn't keep their mouths off of our hands, always trying to playfully bite us.
The next major difference we noticed is the lack of "prey drive" that the new puppies have been exhibiting. Loki and Tygra had to constantly be scolded for paying too much attention to the rabbits and when a chicken or duck would fly into their fenced in yard it usually didn't end well for that bird. Thor and Lady Sif, on the other hand, pay no attention to the ducks that they share the old dog yard with. 2 weeks of cohabitation and not even one sideways glance towards the ducks has come from these pups.
The last major difference we've notices is the natural monitoring that these LGD's display on a daily basis. When one is sleeping, the other will stand guard. It's rather quite remarkable.
The other night I heard Thor barking a little different than I've heard him bark before. I got up from bed and went out with a flash light to see what was going on. Much to my delight I saw Thor and Lady Sif standing at attention with their faces looking out into the dark forest beyond their yard. I shone my light in the same direction they were looking and I saw a raccoon making a hasty retreat into the depths of the forest. It wasn't until the little duck slayer was completely gone from view that the pups turned their gaze onto me with excited wags of their tails. I praised them for being good dogs and for protecting their charges. They seemed pleased that I was pleased with their performance.
I'm still amazed at how ingrained the shepherding and protecting genes are in to these now 14 week old puppies. No training, just raw instincts. If I hadn't recommended LGD's to before, I highly do now. Every homesteader should have a couple of these wonderful dogs on their property.
Keeping cattle by making dogs as guard animals is a very good thing.
you just put the lie to 'don't buy...adopt'.
if ANY dog hurt one of the flock that they were guarding...it was killed...and all of it's brothers, sisters, and cousins were killed also..
for THOUSANDS years back into the dawn of pre history this practice was followed.
what you got is the result.
All dogs are not alike..they've been bred for different task.
you picked some good ones it looks like.
Great Pyrenees make a great livestock guardian dogs. Just keep an eye on them and keep them around the livestock they are suppossed to protect.
Great choice of pups! They will do a really good job keeping those vermin away!
I missed this post from ... 10 days ago! Really cool dogs you got, and it's awesome that they protect the flock. Do you let them run wild and free 24/7? Or do you fence them in at night? | 2019-04-21T15:29:47 | https://steemit.com/homesteading/@bluerthangreen/home-in-steading-update-marvel-at-thor-and-lady-sif |

We are blessed beyond belief. Our blessings surround us and are such a part of our daily living that we often take for granted things that we should be thankful for.
I have blessings in all aspects of my life, from school to sports to family. Everyone who has the pleasure of attending All Saints’ is extremely blessed. We are blessed because many people grow up receiving little to no education, or if they do receive education, it can be mediocre. All Saints’ provides an amazing education to all who attend and help lay the framework for its students’ future.
Another of our many blessings is the ability to compete in athletic events and be able to run and jump and play. Some people cannot do those things. You might think that something as simple as being able to run a race is silly to call a blessings. But there are people who can’t run due to various reasons.
One of my biggest blessings is my loving, supportive family. Without their leadership and love, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. I would have nothing without my family. Some people do not have families, or if they do, those families are not loving or supportive and some families don’t even care about their children.
We all have innumerable blessings. We should recognize these blessings and be thankful for them. We should thank God for all that we have, and take none of our blessings for granted. I know my blessings. Do you know yours? | 2019-04-20T21:04:55 | http://themodernsaint.com/blessings/ |
Another round of Link Friday! Looking to start selling your "art" photos? Check out Fine Art America, a service that does just that. You may have heard of the Brenizer method. It's an approach to creating wide-angle images with narrow depth of field using photo-stitching. He wasn't the first to try or document this approach, but he spoke up at just the right time when photo-stitching tools were appearing right and left. There's more than one way to create a sunbeam in Photoshop, and every now and then you need one to smultz-up that romantic image. I have. Here's one approach on Youtube. Brad Trent is a wonderful commercial photographer who very generously shares in-depth behind the scenes blogs on his work.

In recent years, Nintendo has had great success re-selling their old games in the form of the plug-and-play NES Classic and SNES Classic. Sony saw that success and wanted a piece of the pie themselves, so they launched the PlayStation Classic just in time for the lucrative holiday 2018 season. Unfortunately for Sony, it appears their latest piece of hardware was not stuffed in many stockings over the holidays.
The NES and SNES Classic consoles were sold out nearly all the time when they initially launched, but the PlayStation Classic could not achieve similar results. It launched to lackluster reviews and fans were lukewarm on the list of included games, and that all translated into a flop. Exact sales figures haven't been released (and may never be), but as a result of poor sales, retailers like Amazon, Walmart, GameStop, and Best Buy have all dropped its price for $100 to $60 just one day after Christmas. | 2019-04-26T15:41:35 | https://www.gamnesia.com/news/playstation-classic-is-a-huge-flop |
