This recent anthology from Michigan State University, Sovereign Traces Vol. 1, edited by Gordon Henry Jr. and Elizabeth PaPensee, presents work from a number of Native American cartoonists paired with Native American writers to bring their work into sequential form. As the title to the collection hints, so many of the stories have to do with the idea of sovereignty as only remaining in the form of specters that the cultures have been able to pass through generations, though struggle to keep in a tangible form as multiple factors cause personal devastation.
“Werewolves on the Moon,” written by Stephen Graham Jones and drawn by Delicia Williams, depicts a parent-teacher meeting over a disciplinary action of a young boy. The boy has, in response to an assignment to draw what he predicts his job in the future will be, drawn a picture of astronauts on the moon and then a werewolf attacking them. In the dialogue between teacher and parent, it becomes obvious that the boys’ indiscretion is partly judgmental — he has no father — and partly cultural, but it’s also that he dares to not only answer the question non-realistically but emotionally. In a situation where Native Americans don’t finish school or end up as the janitor in the school, this boy is penalized for not fitting in with the program, not giving a canned answer to the question.
“The Prisoner of Haiku” could almost be a continuation of that boy’s story. Written by Gordon Henry Jr. and drawn by Neal Shannacappo, this story is more a poem about the nexus between art and protest and violence, and about silencing marginalized people. Following a man through his troubled life, this story once again addresses the idea of the forced suppression of self and the idea of cultural identity as unacceptable. When one form of the ability to communicate ideas is stolen, another forms with a vengeance.
“Ice Tricksters” examines the concept of the Trickster in Native American lore and how it may be the personification of how things just never turn out perfect. Three guys take to a secret ice cave to create a trickster ice sculpture but have consistent burps to their intent and processes. It’s a soulful story of how mythology and life intersect in subtle ways, with GMB Chomichuk’s elegant and mysterious art adding dimensions to Gerald Vizenor’s friendly words.
“An Athabasca Story” indulges in some spiritual time travel, in which Elder Brother’s wandering through the wilds into unknown territory serves as a narrative for the past stepping into the present. When Elder Brother blunders upon an industrial site digging up tar sands and producing fuel with it. Land containing tar sand in Canada is controversial, with industrial efforts encroaching on First Nations land. A volatile encounter with a worker leads Elder Brother to attempt to steal tar sand for himself, but this being a fable, his attempt backfires and the story, written by Warren Cariou and drawn by Nicholas Burns, becomes fantastical, metaphorical, and chilling.
The idea of the Trickster is revisited in “Trickster Reflections,” in which writer Niigaanwewidam James Sinclair examines the notion of what causing chaos means in real life, with the idea of the Trickster as another part of self. GMB Chomichuk’s art adds further depth to the intense piece, giving it a darker psychological aspect while well-incorporating the mythological qualities. At center here is the idea of mythology as self-examination.
“The Strange People” adapts Louise Erdrich‘s poem into a mysterious piece juxtaposing the idea of antelope being chased by young men with the monologue of a woman contemplating a man she is involved with. The initial quote in the story is from a medicine woman depicting antelope as alluring creatures who compel young men to chase them, eliciting the concept of possession without understanding. They know they want it, but they don’t know precisely what it is. As the poetry bears witness, they cannot see it. The visuals are beautifully rendered by Elizabeth La Pensee in the form of cave drawings.
“Deer Dancer” recounts an incident at the Deer Lodge bar, wrapping the arrival of a woman around the inherent lost quality of a nation of people drowning their sorrows, or their disappointments or maybe just the fate of everything, while the woman prepares for a moment of honest display. Writer Joy Harjo evokes a deer alongside the rejection of white laws, while artist Weshoyot Alvitre renders the beautiful agony, the sublime defeat, that looms in the atmosphere of the barroom.
Richard Van Camp’s “Mermaids” is an intense noir-tinged tale of misfortune, as Torchy is found injured by young Stephanie and brought home. Tending to him, Torchy tells a story of God’s dislike of anything more beautiful than him, his violent reaction, and then we enter into Torchy’s nightmare, an unfolding of the story which brought him to the street where Stephanie found him. Once again, the personal story of a Native American, as drawn by Scott B. Henderson, is packed with people dying and disappearing, and the main character doomed to walk like a ghost through his own history.
Gwen Neil Westerman’s “Just Another Naming Ceremony” is the most upbeat story in the book, though it addresses something not so cheery. At a book signing, Native Americans who have some relationship with success meet and joke about their interaction with white culture on that level, the anglicization of names versus optimizing their nativeness as a brand. It’s a sarcastic and frankly cathartic conclusion, given some immediacy through Tara Ogaick’s personable cartooning.
This is an intense and exciting collection and, most wonderfully, uncompromising in its subject matter. It doesn’t push away non-Native readers, but it does demand respect for what it presents. This is both strong storytelling and strong advocacy, easily some of the most passionate storytelling I’ve had the pleasure of encountering in recent comics. These voices, both writers and artists, should not be on the margins of the industry published by a university press — thought that’s certainly wonderful and thank goodness for this project from Michigan State— they should be front and center, not only because of their message but the power with which they are expressed. I’m looking forward to the second volume, which will be released later this year. | 2019-04-19T05:16:28 | https://www.comicsbeat.com/review-sovereign-traces-vol-1-propels-native-american-voices-brilliantly-with-no-artistic-compromise/ |

Anyone can look up at the sky and make a guess at tomorrow’s weather. But having actual data informs your opinion and makes your guess a little more accurate.
Which is why, as a managing director of a leading cleantech data provider and responsible for the presentation of its quarterly global cleantech data, I developed a real respect for venture investment figures.
Because while everyone’s got an opinion about the health of the cleantech space, as in weather forecasting, data matters.
Venture investment, the rationale goes, is one of the best leading indicators of the health of the cleantech sector. Where venture investment goes, so eventually goes private equity, corporate investment, and—if all goes well—exits, ultimately. Venture investment serves as a sort of proxy for what tech sectors are hot, what geographies are up and coming and is an indication (though not the only one) of which companies and investors to watch.
In presenting this quarterly data, however, I’d always been interested in other data types so as to be able to offer a fuller picture of the overall health of cleantech globally. I’d always wanted insight into patents, specifically. So I’m pleased that Berkeley, Calif.-based IP Checkups, a longtime collaborator, just introduced its CleanTech PatentEdge service—an online searchable database of international patent data.
IP Checkups has performed custom patent searches in cleantech since 2006. It has supported us at Kachan & Co. with data in our cleantech advisory consulting engagements, such as the competitive assessment project abstracted here that leveraged patent data to find companies quietly pursuing ethylene from methane.
And now, with its new service, anyone can access the patent database IP Checkups has built, query 1.5 million patent grant and application entries from the US, EP, WO and JP patent databases and produce attractive charts and tables.
Why do we believe this patent service is a big deal?
Doesn’t patent information want to be free?
With free data available from patent offices, and in a world where digital information is chomping at its virtual bit, why pay for the information? Because it’s not easy to search the multiple free online patent databases around the world and normalize the results you get back. When importing into Excel, you’re limited to pasting 65,000 records at a time, and can only have 1,048,576 rows total (and there are a lot more than 1,048,576 patents in cleantech.) Then you then need to cut the data and develop the charts you seek, and even run the risk of the data being out of date by the time you’re done.
I’d long wondered whether the quarterly velocity of patent filings in cleantech mapped to quarterly venture investment. Could they also be used as a leading indicator of where the industry was heading?
Unfortunately not. There’s a lag in being able to access patent filings because patent offices insert an intentional 18 month delay between filing and publishing so as to give entrepreneurs a head start in commercializing their innovations from the time of filing. As a result, patents only appear in the PatentEdge database a year and a half after they’re filed. But they give insight into where to expect cleantech products, according to IP Checkup President Matt Rappaport.
Is there a correlation between venture investment and patent filings? Does one lead the other? Historically, the two are correlated, as these two graphs show, but while an 18-month lag in patent data prevents it being used as a leading indicator of innovation, patent data is a good indicator of where to look for market-ready products. Sources: Cleantech Group and IP Checkups.
Cleantech products, Rappaport notes, generally emerge soon after the 18 month hold period. Cut the patent data by sector or geography, and you suddenly get educated insights about whether a bevvy of new thin film solar offerings are about to emerge from China, say, or what exact types of new biological drop-in biofuel processes from algae you should start to expect to see written about in the press soon. Those are different types of insights than you get from cleantech venture data.
Which sounds like it might help make the business of cleantech market weather forecasting a little more interesting. | 2019-04-25T10:40:03 | https://www.eco-business.com/opinion/look-whats-now-patently-obvious-in-cleantech/ |

It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. Karcher Wiring Diagram. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. Karcher Wiring Diagram. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. Karcher Wiring Diagram. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.

This month finds America examining its response--or lack thereof--to Hurricane Katrina. As that occurs, we can draw comfort that the helicopter community is applying lessons learned from that storm by increasing the understanding and appreciation of rotorcraft and their capabilities. One recent event unrelated to Katrina reminds us of how big a challenge that remains.
We are in the midst of renewed criticism about the delayed, uncoordinated response to the hurricane that devastated much of the U.S. Gulf Coast. A U.S. House of Representatives report in mid-February, entitled "A Failure of Initiative," faulted everyone from President Bush to local officials in the states for actions and inaction that prolonged the suffering of Katrina's victims and contributed to the deaths of some. That was to be followed by separate reports from the Senate and White House.
In this process of extracting "lessons learned" from the response to this disaster, it is important to look at what went right. Helicopter operations clearly did. Within hours of Katrina's passing, scores were in the skies of Louisiana and Mississippi assessing damage, rescuing victims and arranging relief for others.
They came from the National Guard and the U.S. Coast Guard, Army and Navy. They came from air ambulance operations and from law enforcement agencies and commercial and private operators. They came from nearly every type of helicopter operator. They came from nearly everywhere in North America. They came from Asia, and from Europe.
They came without concern for compensation or recognition. They came to save lives.
The helicopters came despite the obstacles that the "managers" of the Katrina response threw up to their use. Bureaucrats told some operators they couldn't fly to the aid of the storm's victims without the right paperwork, guidance that most thankfully ignored. Some were told to stand down because the response had been federalized. Some were threatened with punishment if they dispatched aircraft and crews to the Gulf Coast region without permission.
Had all those helicopters not come, more people would have died and many others would have been stranded on rooftops for days longer. In many cases, helicopters were the only means of rescuing Katrina's victims. In this month's pages, we share the accounts of some of those who came. We present their stories not because they are the heroes among the hundreds of helicopter folks who brought succor in Katrina's wake, but because they are typical of the hundreds of heroes who did so.
The Helicopter Assn. International is working to remove obstacles from the next response to a major disaster. It is compiling a database of helicopters available to disaster managers in a bid to help them and the federal, state and local officials with whom they work better grasp the unique, invaluable capabilites rotorcraft bring to emergency response. HAI President Matthew Zuccaro explains on page 53 that the group is doing this because it is clear no one else will.
We were reminded of how much those in government need to learn about helicopters in late January, when the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board issued its long-awaited special investigation report into helicopter EMS operations.
The EMS safety problems are significant, and the board called for important steps to address them. It urged the FAA to move beyond "guidance" to require better risk-management and dispatch controls in EMS operations. It also called for broader use of technology like terrain-awareness and warning systems (TAWS).
But the report smacked of closing the barn door after the horses have fled. The NTSB took so long to issue it--more than a year, by some accounts--that the FAA and industry already have taken major steps to address safety problems. More importantly, in presenting their findings to the presidential appointees on the board who must approve by a majority any recommendations, NTSB staff members displayed a fundamental ignorance of the EMS safety problem.
They could not answer, for instance, how many EMS aircraft are flying in the United States. In fact, they knew almost nothing of a federally funded database to track that number. They called for greater use of TAWS, but couldn't say if such systems had been approved for use on helicopters. When asked by a board member to compare commercial aircraft to others that fly such missions, such as those of the Coast Guard, one investigator said there was no comparison. "The Coast Guard aircraft are like Rolls-Royces," he said. That might surprise Coast Guard brass who last year told Congress that severe HH-65 engine problems were limiting mission capabilities and jeopardizing the lives of their crews.
The NTSB can't dictate; it protects safety solely through the strength of its arguments, which very often are impeccable. Not so with the presentation of this report, whose flaws invite critics to ignore otherwise important safety recommendations. | 2019-04-25T18:01:41 | https://www.rotorandwing.com/2006/03/01/editors-notebook-6/ |

Scooter Gennett's 9th-inning homer came in his first-ever All-Star Game plate appearance.
It looked like Cincinnati Reds All-Star second baseman Scooter Gennett, the National League's leader in batting average at the break, might not even get a chance to bat in his first All-Star Game.
Then he stepped into the on-deck circle as a pinch-hitter in the 9th inning, with the National League trailing 5-3 and his Reds and NL teammate, Joey Votto, having committed a costly error on a tough play an inning earlier - one pitch before Jean Segura gave the American League a three-run lead with a three-run homer.
With one on, one out and a 1-0 count, Gennett clubbed a game-tying, two-run home run to right off of Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Edwin Diaz in his first-ever All-Star Game plate appearance.
Scooter Gennett is the 3rd player in All-Star Game history to hit a game-tying HR in the 9th inning or later, joining Fred McGriff in 1994 and Ralph Kiner in 1950.
Joey Votto sets up Scooter's heroics. Joey Votto is the ultimate team guy.
Votto added a home run in the bottom of the 10th for his first-ever hit in an All-Star Game. | 2019-04-19T02:20:26 | https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/mlb/reds/2018/07/18/scooter-gennett-game-tying-home-run-all-star-game-9th-inning/794777002/ |
“Bert Jansch’s Avocet was very off compared to what was going on in music in the late ’70s. I knew about him when I was in school because he was in Pentangle. The whole thing with music fans in the late ’60s was all about: “Are you Jimi or Eric?” Then there was a group of us who were a bit cooler who said: “Are you Bert or John?” Which meant John Renbourn, the other guitarist in Pentangle. The kind of people who liked Jimi Hendrix would sit in their room playing solos and making a guitar face.” – Probably our favourite review of Bert Jansch (Official)‘s ‘Avocet’ to date, via Wire‘s Colin Newman. | 2019-04-19T22:33:08 | https://earthrecordlabel.com/wired-for-sound/ |

The ‘case for adoption’ recommendations are primarily based on the claimed advantages of introducing the particular technology in contrast with present management of the condition. In an more and more digitally related world, new know-how allows the sector of healthcare to make drastic modifications that streamline the system. They have managed to work by means of these difficulties to offer excellent affected person care and successful new strategies.
Perhaps probably the most visually spectacular show of healthcare technology innovation is the video of Les Baugh controlling prosthetic arms along with his mind alone. Better nonetheless, this analysis might provide the opportunity to focus public health measures for prevention on genetically outlined subsets of populations. We should discover the best steadiness between these earlier than the know-how turns into available. While the physician talks with the patient, Watson checks the medical data and the worldwide literature, then makes solutions.
Computer simulation and 3D printing are permitting scientists to develop faster, safer ways to test medical gadgets without installing them in dwell people or animals. With the assistance of college networks and Internet, the medical college students in addition to the teachers could stay in touch even when they’re off faculty. After regular progress in the course of the 18th century, the organic and medical sciences began to advance at a outstanding rate during the nineteenth century, which saw the genuine beginnings of recent scientific drugs. In in the present day’s world, technology plays an vital role in every business in addition to in our private lives.
Those temporary examples of the effect of excessive-technology follow against completely different backgrounds of the provision of health care replicate the emerging sample of medical apply within the twentieth century. It is even protected to say that patient safety and luxury are the foremost consideration within the incorporation of know-how in the health care trade, as most trendy treatments thought of people friendly. The emergence of medical epidemiology marked one of the most necessary successes of the medical sciences within the 20th century.
Benefits of Outsourcing Managed IT Services Corporations are always eager to stretch their capabilities to have the capacity to deliver quality and fulfilling services to their clients. Because of the fast-paced developing technology that we have these days, it has been less difficult for companies to outsource professionals in certain fields to benefit from them rather than mastering everything that they need from scratch to improve. Outsourcing a company’s IT to a skilled service provider is an effective advantage because the team will then automatically manage and assume responsibility in delivering a defined set of IT services in behalf of the firm. There are a number of advantages that this partnership has to offer that is why this technique has become extremely common among large companies in this present time. Investing in top of the range technologies and hardware can be extremely costly and companies will then hire people that they will train to function for their IT needs but in hiring a good managed service provider, companies don’t have to worry about these matters. A good managed service provider will house the best technologies, making it possible for the client to take pleasure in the benefits of carrier grade solutions. Fixed contracts and monthly payment plans allow a company to budget for their IT management, without any unexpected upgrade charges or maintenance costs. Outsourcing IT services also minimizes the need to employ in-house specialists to take care of their IT networks helping the company to center its time and effort on more strategic campaigns.
Managed service providers possess specialist IT skills that may well go above the levels available within a corporation. They also give round the clock access to these skills which is really an advantageous asset. Any firm can definitely save money that would otherwise be invested in teaching staff internally or using the services of specialist freelance technicians.
Some Information about Managed IT Services and Its Contributions to Your Company It is said that the success of a business is dependent partly on the IT structure of the company. In fact, several small and medium sized companies would point out their competitive advantage because of their IT system. It is observed that a poorly performing IT system affects the productivity performance in a business. However, most companies also look at IT investments as a financial burden rather than an advantage because of the time running it and resources in running it like qualified staff, money, etc. And so as a solution to this technology concern, businesses turned to getting managed IT services because they are aware of the benefits that IT infrastructure can do to their businesses. Managed services is now described as the new model of IT management, replacing the traditional IT support. A managed service provider, is the organization of the managed services that is a composed of a qualified experts in networks, computers and other IT needs, and they compose the team in managed services. This team handles the responsibility and the risk that go with the management of a company’s IT system. This managed services team provides the level of experience and expertise for your company’s needs with regards to the IT system. The various advantages of a managed IT services for your company are presented here shortly.
One benefit of a managed IT services is that there is an increased of performance, reliability and security of your business without spending for the Managed IT services provide multiple benefits that can lead to increased performance, reliability costs of a full time staff in the IT function of the company. A possible expensive expensive network disasters in your IT system can be prevented by hiring a network monitoring service provider, and this is another advantage of getting a managed IT service provider.

Let’s get one thing straight: there is no goaltending controversy in Winnipeg… at least not when it comes to their starter.
Connor Hellebuyck is the Jets’ undisputed number-one netminder. The 25-year-old is coming off a sparkling season and entering 2018-19 with a new lucrative yet team-friendly deal. In 2017-18, he notched a career-high 44 wins and six shutouts, posted a .924 save percentage (SV%), a goals-against average (GAA) of 2.36, and was nominated for the Vezina Trophy — an award he should have won. He did all that despite beginning the season as Steve Mason’s backup.
But wait a second. Mason, from whom Hellebuyck stole the job after his turbulent start to 2017-18 and subsequent injury woes is gone. So is Michael Hutchinson. That’s where the controversy — or better put, the clash — comes in. The role of Hellebuyck’s backup is wide open and there are two inexperienced yet intriguing candidates looking to fill that role: Eric Comrie and Laurent Brossoit. Going into training camp, expect the battle of the backups to be close, keen, and competitive.
Comrie, 23, was chosen 59th overall by the Jets in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft and has spent the last three seasons with the Manitoba Moose.
Comrie’s career AHL numbers — 136 games, 52-67-16 record, 2.95 GAA, and .908 SV% — don’t give an accurate reflection of his play. Two of his three campaigns were spent with defensively porous, transient Moose squads that finished second-last in the Central Division, and he was given next to no support and peppered with shots.
His 2017-18 numbers — an 18-13-3 record, 2.58 GAA, and .916 SV% — were achieved with a much better Moose squad that finished 16 games above .500 and are more indicative of his skills.
Comrie’s been recalled a number of times by the Jets, especially last year. However, he has made just four NHL starts, three of which came last year, and no relief appearances. In his four starts, he has a 2-2 record, a 4.00 GAA, and .880 SV%.
For a fleeting moment it looked like the Jets had swung the door wide open for Comrie to claim the backup role by default after they dealt Mason to the Montreal Canadiens in a cap-clearing move on the eve of free agent frenzy. However, they shut the door the next day when they inked free agent goalie Laurent Brossoit.
Brossoit, 25, was drafted by the Calgary Flames 164th overall in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, but has spent almost his entire five-year career in the Edmonton Oilers organization. He’s appeared in NHL games in four different seasons and in AHL games in all five — his AHL experience was mainly with the Oklahoma City Barons and the Bakersfield Condors. In 144 career AHL games, he boasts a 69-55-14 record, a 2.71 GAA, and a .913 SV%.
Brossoit has more NHL experience than Comrie. His longest NHL stint was last year with the disappointing Oilers, when he appeared in 14 games, mostly before Christmas. In 28 career NHL games, comprised of 20 starts and eight relief appearances, he has a 7-13-2 record with a 2.97 GAA and .897 SV%.
Who Has the Inside Track?
With the Jets’ looming cap crunch that will manifest itself fully after next season, Brossoit’s low price tag ($650,000) was a big reason for this acquisition but makes the backup position more in flux than if the Jets had signed a more experienced free agent netminder such as Carter Hutton or Anton Khudobin.
Brossoit signing means Eric Comrie has a good opportunity to snap up the backup role at this point. Things could change from now until then, but that’s the scenery at the moment.
If one has a leg up on the other, it’s not immediately apparent. It’s a wide-open battle with no clear front-runner. One could view the Brossoit signing as an indicator the Jets don’t have faith in Comrie’s skill set and are skeptical of his NHL readiness.
Conversely, one could view the signing as an insurance policy in case injuries crop up in the crease like they did last year, with Broissoit being the equivalent of Hutchinson and Comrie being the equivalent of Mason. Furthermore, one could view the signing as a way to push and challenge Comrie as competition begets quality or at least that’s the idea.
Jets fans are tough on Comrie, perhaps tougher on him than any other Jets prospect. Reddit and other online forums are rife with comments that the Jets should write the 23-year-old goaltender off. Online pundits criticize his size, positioning, and NHL performances, and in some cases have called him a bust and a flop.
Like any criticism from a passionate fan base, some is legitimate and some is over-the-top. There are a lot of knee-jerk reactions from those basing their observations only on Comrie’s four shaky NHL starts and not the full breadth of his career. While it’s true his big-league performances thus far haven’t inspired much confidence, four games is a microscopic sample size. It’s tough to draw any firm conclusions about his readiness for the backup role from 240 minutes.
Like any young goaltender, Comrie has strengths and weaknesses. At times, he struggles to see through screens and divert rebounds into low-risk areas. However, he possesses good lateral movement, never gives up on a play, and is very athletic; all are assets. He’s often been solid for the Moose and held them in games that had no business being close, especially in their first two seasons after returning from the East Coast.
Going with Comrie over Brossoit as Hellebuyck’s backup jives better with the organization’s track record of promoting from within and looking for internal solutions before seeking outside help. Kevin Cheveldayoff and Paul Maurice are nothing if not loyal, which may bode well for Comrie’s chances.
At the end of the day, though, there’s no denying Comrie is inexperienced. Brossoit’s deeper level of NHL exposure could give him a slight advantage. While his big-league experience is not monstrous by any means, any NHL experience is good experience.
Brossoit is coming off the season in which he made the most NHL appearances of his professional career (14), including ten starts. In those starts, he was 3-6-1. His 2017-18 numbers — a 3.24 GAA and .883 SV% — quite frankly, look pretty bad. However, they are understandable when you consider the Oilers team in front of him, that got out of the gate slower than a one-legged horse and was 13-19-2 by the time Brossoit had made all but one of his appearances.
With the 2016-17 Oilers, who were much more competitive and finished 21 games above .500, his numbers — 4-1-0 with a 1.99 GAA and .928 SV% — are much better. Admittedly, those sample sizes, like Comrie’s, are small.
(Brossoit) appears to be running in place at times and needs to become more consistent to stay in favour with his team.
He is at an integral point in his career. At 25 years old, he is aging out of the “prospect” tag that will be afforded to Comrie for a little while. He hasn’t been able to establish himself at the NHL level yet and his time to do so is running out. He will likely be entering camp motivated and with a chip on his shoulder.
The Jets have seven preseason games between Sept. 17 and Sept. 27. Count on Comrie and Brossoit to get the bulk of the work — three starts each most likely — and the battle to be on full display. The Jets will undoubtedly want to see as much as they can from both of their candidates before granting someone the gig.
Expect Hellebuyck to have a light workload as a result — he’s got nothing to prove. He’ll likely appear in one or two late-preseason contests just to ensure he’s tuned up and ready for the Jets’ Oct. 4 season opener against the Los Angeles Kings.
Whoever wins the job as Hellebuyck’s backup will do so through merit. Whoever doesn’t impress will be sent to the AHL, but don’t expect them to stay on the farm if the other struggles in the big league. There will be other battles brewing at Jets training camp, but this is the one that’s most likely to boil over, so keep a close eye on it. | 2019-04-22T22:09:34 | http://hockeychatter.com/2018/08/31/winnipeg-jets-goalies-the-backup-battle-is-brewing/ |

We had been waiting for what felt like years to put our feet back on sandy soil. To hear the waves crashing. To smell the salt in the air. It didn't matter that it was foggy and a bit cold. We loved every minute of being outside visiting with family. The kids played tag, hide and seek, burnt sticks in the fire, and didn't ask for the iPads once. We roasted marshmallows while Papa (Grandpa) told stories. We listened to the rain on the tent while snuggling in our sleeping bags. Nehalem Bay is beautiful no matter what the weather. It was relaxing and we all felt that we had an energy reboot. We cannot wait to go camping again and hope that we can get back out there soon! | 2019-04-22T16:40:36 | http://www.dayswiththegrays.com/2014/08/our-camping-adventure-nehalem-bay-oregon.html |

Fragrant sandalwood (Chandan), is indeed a very valuable tree and is synonymous with our rich culture and tradition. It has been used both as a cosmetic and as a curative, down the ages. Women in ancient India have used it as a cosmetic to beautify their skins and to perfume themselves. Both sandalwood and its oil have been used in Ayurveda for many centuries. Unfortunately it often falls prey to the poacher’s axe who fells it down mercilessly for his own selfish and commercial interests. If this kind of indiscriminate poaching is not stopped then the day is not far off when this priceless tree will become extinct.

yes it's good for scars as well, use it with lemon juice or aloe juice for better results. But I would like to point out that home-remedies might work for light scars and blemishes only. If your scars are quite prominent and deep you may have to consult a dermatologist.
Ancient Sages have used Sandal Wood to protect and heal the skin.
Sandalwood is also effective in gastric irritability. About 22 grams of a watery emulsion of the wood mixed with sugar, honey and rice water should be administered in the treatment of such a condition.Sandalwood paste applied on the temple relieves headache and bring down the temperature in fever.It is also useful in the treatment of dysentery. It should be administered as for gastric irritability.
Sandalwood oil has a mild fragrance and is extremely moisturizing. One of the ancient healing oils used for the skin in Biblical times, it is helpful for removing wrinkles and scars and renewing tired skin.
Sandalwood is very effective in treating acne scars. Mix it with some rosewater and apply it to the scars. Leave it on overnight and wash it off in the morning.
SANDALWOOD is best home remedy for dark skin.
. It is a cooling agent, stimulant, and blood purifier. It protects skin from the sun's rays, acts an anti-aging agent, and keeps skin smooth and aromatic. Sandalwood is extremely effective on pimples, prickly heat, skin erruptions, itching, rashes, spots, freckles, and swellings.

here is a great paste that you can apply on your blemishes. The recipe is one tablespoon of sandalwood power, one tablespoon of turmeric powder, and a little honey. It will clear up your acne and blemishes.
you can mix the Sandalwood Powder with water to make a thick past to apply on your body or face.. The paste is very good to make your skin silk-smooth and remove blemish.
Try a honey/oatmeal mask, leave it on for 20 minutes, try a tomato.avocado mask leave it on for 30, or mix sea salt and seed oil and massage it into your skin after which you rinse with warm water. Be careful not to rub too hard and make your face red.
rubbing alcohol helps acne.it can help clean up the bacteria and oil from acne. Just be sure to moisturize because it totally makes your skin dry & flakey.
@Bobby Rachel: Sure it's beneficial for acne scars and marks. It's antibacterial too.
I hope you have read Sandalwood for acne post as well.
I have oily skin with pimples and blemishes..sometime sandlewood paste work as magic on my skin and make it so clear dat evry1 bcom surprise wid my clear skin n sometime it doesnt work..Why sometimes it work n sometime not?? After applying sandlewood paste I dont wash it rather I rub it after it dry..Is it gud to do so for my skin?? or sud I compusorily wash my face?? please tell me in detail..I am eagerly waiting and thanx in advance.
You should wash off the dried paste instead of scrubbing it off as rubbing might irritate your skin. If sandalwood doesn't seem to work for you sometimes, try some other remedy. Maybe your lifestyle is to blame for your skin problems. Have food with low glycemic index, exercise regularly and drink 6-8 glasses of water everyday. If your condition doesn't improve, see a dermatologist. | 2019-04-21T14:19:02 | https://www.beautyandgroomingtips.com/2007/11/sandalwood-chandan-for-beauty.html |

Tiny Enamel Butterfly Heart Charm Necklace.
Cloisonne Heart with Butterfly Design.

My name's Angel. I'm twenty-nine years old. I hail from a small town called Dobson in the foothills of NC, about an hour and a half north of Charlotte right on the NC/VA border, but I did spend the first few years of my life growing up in Connecticut. I don't have kids, and I'm not in a relationship, but I do have two dogs, and they're simultaneously extremely annoying while also being the best things that have ever happened to me.
Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I'm not saying that to contribute to the cliché of the "aspiring guitar god." My mom's side of the family has a lot of musicians in it - an uncle of hers, Toñin Romero, recorded traditional music (plenas, décimas, and aguinaldos) in Puerto Rico starting in the 1950s as did a few other members of her family. I grew up hearing all of that Puerto Rican goodness, as well as classical music and jazz and a plethora of other genres. Many of my earliest memories include these large family gatherings with all seven of my aunts and uncles, and many cousins, gathered with their various instruments (be it a guitar or an accordion or a piano or a small percussive instrument, or just their voice), jamming for hours and making the most harmonious cacophony you could imagine coming out of a large and happy Puerto Rican family.
I started taking classical piano lessons when I was 10, then studied two years towards a music major in college. Life happened, or more specifically, chronic illness, and I had to drop out of college for a while. It hampered my music studies for a few years, and I don't sound nearly as good on the piano now as I used to, but that'll change as I get back into a good practice routine. I've always been good at practice routines and I feel like that'll serve me well, especially as I go back to school this year to resume studying towards a bachelor's in music therapy.
As for guitar, I've always had an interest in it, especially given my family's preference for more acoustic instruments. I received a beautiful Gibson J-45 acoustic as a birthday present a few years ago and was so excited to start learning, but then I kinda just let it sit there because honestly, I got intimidated. Then a few months ago, I came into ownership of two Puerto Rican cuatros (a cuatro is a ten-stringed lute tuned in five courses, and is a traditional stringed instrument in Puerto Rico). One of them needs work done by a luthier, but the other is ready to play. The thing is, I'm not ready to play it.
So that's why I'm here. I've been watching Tyler's videos for a while, and I decided to make the plunge and give myself a gift that I deserve - high-quality music lessons from someone who knows what they're talking about. I'm willing to put in the work, and I'm excited to get to know everyone else here. Hopefully we'll all be able to share in our journey to create some awesome music. | 2019-04-24T07:50:06 | http://musiciswin.discussion.community/post/angel-from-north-carolina-10006480 |
J.W. Martin (listed one instance as John N.) enlisted May 15, 1862 in Savannah with Capt. Miller. He served in Co. C, 21st Battalion, Georgia Cavalry, attaining the rank of 4th Sergeant. With the organization of the 7th Regiment, Georgia Cavalry, Sgt. Martin was transferred to Co. B of the 7th on February 13, 1864.
In August he was reported absent, in the hands of the enemy, having been captured June 11, 1864 at Louisa Court House during the battle of Trevillian Station.
Sgt. Martin arrived at Fortress Monroe around June 20, 1864 and was transferred to Elmira Prison, N.Y., arriving there on July 25, 1864.
He was released on July 11, 1865. | 2019-04-18T18:45:29 | http://ernieiler.tripod.com/soldier_bios_b/martin_j_w.html |

Cyber attacks are increasing at a rapid pace and are now systematically targeted towards vulnerable countries. The growing number of online users and their data is further worsening the situation. In addition to this, there is an interconnection between digital usage and the users in critical business sectors such as banking, which is giving rise to cyber crimes more than ever before.
Big data technologies have emerged extensively as a result of this data burst. However, it has given rise to concerns on the security aspects such as methods of data storage, their systems and real-time monitoring, amongst other challenges. Nonetheless, big data solutions are still preferred due to their advantage of handling voluminous amounts of data in short span of time. In this article, we will discuss a study conducted by academics at Gazi University, Turkey, where a novel method called ‘unsupervised anomaly detection approach’ in networks is designed to address vulnerabilities in a big data network using data from NetFlow.
NetFlow is a network protocol which was first introduced by Cisco in order to monitor and collect network traffic data among devices as well as computer software and applications. The protocol is primarily used to detect anomalies and patterns where dangerous information can be circulated to devices and compromise security. More importantly, it offers computer security experts a view to understand the behavior of the traffic flow. In addition, network anomaly detection can be done using many methods with most of them following machine learning techniques.
Netflows are then aggregated according to source IPs.
The aggregated data may show new patterns to detect behavior.
The obtained data is standardized by zero score as in the equation z=(x – μ)/σ where μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.
This procedure equalises the data variability.
Standardised data is less affected by outlier.
The aggregated NetFlows are clustered based on the k-means algorithm as distributed.
The unsupervised techniques trained with unlabeled data has the ability to detect unfamiliar attacks.
It is predicted that clusters will occur according to normal or abnormal traffic behavior.
The Euclidean distance of the cluster elements to the cluster center is calculated.
The elements in the cluster should be close to the center for a good clustering.
The elements may be abnormally distant from the center because of any reason and the centroids can be used for outlier detection.
The elements stay distant from the concentrated region on the histogram are considered as anomalous.
The actual normal and abnormal flow numbers are determined from time intervals in steps 4 and 5. Finally, the success criterion is evaluated.
For the study, Netflow data was implemented on Apache Spark big data framework with Azure HDInsight cloud service for processing data. Python was used as the main programming language. In order to detect network attacks, CTU-13 dataset was investigated since it provided sample attack scenarios to ascertain network behavior. Specifically, the 10th Scenario in the dataset (UDP DDos attacks) was the focus of the study due to the fact that it covered botnet attacks in addition to being large in size (It had 13,09,792 netflows with 1,06,352 UDP DDos flows).
The implementation follows the approach mentioned earlier. The Netflow data was split into one minute time intervals to capture anomalies so that the data is not crowded with anomalies for experimentation. With this, the unsupervised anomaly detection was developed. The detailed information can be found here. The accuracy of the detection was found to be 96 percent correct. In order to visualise the accuracy, the six features in the dataset for the study was reduced to three-dimensions using dimensionality reduction with principal component analysis(PCA).
As technology is rising in parallel, cyber crimes are committed with more ease and deception. It is sometimes harder to detect censure, owing to anonymity and other tricky methods harbored by cyber-criminals. This study will definitely serve beneficial for future avenues to counter attacks on computer networks using big data and machine learning. | 2019-04-25T12:12:28 | https://www.analyticsindiamag.com/augmenting-cyber-security-how-to-use-big-data-analytics-for-anomaly-detection/ |

Sabal Palm inflorescenceThe derivation of Sabal is unknown; palmetto means ‘little palm’.
This is one of some 15 species of the genus, and is native to the southeastern USA, Cuba, and the Bahamas. In the USA it was originally found near the coast from St Andrews Bay in the Florida panhandle to the extreme south coast of Virginia, and throughout most of the Florida peninsula. It is now found throughout most of the southern parts of the USA, even in areas not normally associated with palm trees.
The Sabal Palm grows up to 20 m in height, with exceptional individuals up to about 28 m, and with a trunk up to 60 cm in diameter. It is a distinct fan palm with a bare petiole that extends as a centre spine or midrib into a rounded, costapalmate fan of numerous leaflets, the leaves markedly recurved. Each leaf is 1.5–2 m long, with 40–60 leaflets each up to 80 cm long.
The flowers are yellowish white, about 5 mm across, produced in large compound panicles up to 2.5 m long, extending out beyond the leaves. The fruit is a black drupe about 1.3 cm long, containing a single seed.
Maintenance of the tree is easy and adaptable. It tolerates drought, standing water and brackish water; but it does thrive on regular light watering and regular feeding. It is highly tolerant of salt winds, but not of saltwater flooding.
detail of inflorescenceThe trunk of this palm can appear in two different guises, which can be confusing when it comes to identifying the species. When leaves die, the leaf bases typically persist for a while, creating a spiky, ‘basketweave’ effect (the remnant leaf bases are known as ‘bootjacks’, or ‘boots’ for short, for the old Y-shaped device formerly used for taking off boots). Transplanted palms are sometimes deliberately shorn of these bootjacks. Taller specimens are more likely to have lost their bootjacks and appear relatively smooth and columnar. As the trunk is revealed, its surface is a rough, fibrous brown; but eventually the surface will age to grey and become smooth. The loss of these bootjacks is a natural, if poorly-understood, phenomenon.
Unlike many other palms, the Sabal Palm has no crownshaft, but the leaves emerge directly from the trunk. The growing heart of the new fronds, which takes the place of the terminal bud, gives the tree its ‘cabbage’ name, since this is extracted as a food. The palm is one of several species used to make heart of palm salad, which was commonly eaten by American Indians. However, the practice eventually destroys the tree, because the terminal bud is the only point from which the palm can grow, and its loss means that the palm will not be able to replace its old leaves, and will eventually die.
This is the state tree of Florida, and is also displayed on the state flag of South Carolina. The durable trunks are sometimes used for wharf pilings and poles. Brushes and brooms can be made from young leaves, and the adult leaves are used by the Seminole Indians in Florida as thatch for their traditional pavilions. | 2019-04-24T06:54:47 | https://somemagneticislandplants.com.au/index.php/plants/233-sabal-palmetto |

We all know the usual ingredients that everyone loves to put on top of their pizza. The first thing that comes to mind would be pepperoni, then different kinds of sausages, mushrooms, and then more cheese. Yes, there are some who are averse to the idea of heaping in more cheese, but in reality, it’s the most popular topping there is. All pizza has cheese, but most want more of the stuff. Even down at Calda Pizza, it’s their most popular topping. However, there are some out there with an adventurous tongue who want to try things nobody has ever tried before. You would be surprised at what people can think of to put on their food.
Now what we’ve compiled here is a list of uncommon ingredients that actually taste good. We all know pizza is pizza, and it is one of the most delicious dishes we could possible eat, but there are things that simply do not belong on pizza. But still, since pizza is still good even when it’s bad, we leave it to you to decide whether you’d like to try it or not. So read on to find some weird ingredients that surprisingly go well with your pizza.
This isn’t the first vegetable that has been put on top of pizza. In fact, vegan pizza has been growing in popularity lately, so this might not be that much of a surprise. But there is just some part of you inside that asks, “Peas? Really?” Yes, really. In fact, in Brazil it is actually one of the more popular toppings. So if you ever go participating in a Brazilian Carnival, you can certainly put this on your list of things you want to try there.
Now this is one combination you might have heard of. There was a video featuring this combination that went viral a couple of months ago. However, if you were living under a rock at the time, this combination is actually from Japan. It is actually pretty popular, and no, we are not joking. Be prepared though, this is still pretty far from the strangest topping you’ll see on this list.
Compared to the other items on this list, you might say that this is pretty tame, and you are right. But there is a funny story that comes with this cool combination. Over a decade ago, the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi publicly mocked the food he was served during his time in Finland. Three years later, Kotipizza, a Finnish pizza house, won the American’s Plate with this combination wherein Italy placed second. They named this pizza the Berlusconi.
Everyone has heard of four-cheese pizza, but we bet this is the first time you’ve seen four-fish. This Russian delight called the “mockba” is actually one of the most popular kinds in the former soviet country. They contain salmon, tuna, sardines, mackerel, and onions. Just imagining it already turns many people off, but add the fact that it is traditionally served cold, and a lot won’t want to go near this pizza.
We don’t even know where to begin with this one. This particular variant of our favorite dish is served at Stevenson Pizza in Vancouver. They are actually renowned for their quirky topping combinations, but this one definitely takes the cake. Despite that though, it is actually pretty expensive at 450 Canadian dollars, which is understandable when you consider the ingredients.
One can just imagine how people thought up of this particular pie. Mac and Cheese is definitely a favorite of kids worldwide, and who doesn’t like pizza? So why not put them together? People say a slice of this might feel and taste a bit different than what you would expect, but after a few bites the taste that we all know and love does shine through.
In Sydney you can find one of their most popular hotels, the Australian Hotel. Of course, being a tourist, you would want to at least try out their local delicacies. But I doubt you would expect them to serve you their coat of arms. This hotel is famous for their half-emu, half-kangaroo pizza which is then topped with capsicum, cranberries, and bush tomatoes. | 2019-04-25T03:46:29 | http://www.caldapizzacdo.com/7-unusual-ingredients-that-go-well-on-pizza/ |

If you ever saw the Thermaltake W100 Super Tower Chassis, you have an idea of just how large a Super Tower really is and if you like that one wait until you see Corsair's Obsidian 1000D. It measures 307x693x697mm, aka 12.1 x 27.3 x 27.4", with enough interior space to handle a full E-ATX and Mini-ITX system simultaneously.
As you would expect, the cooling options are more than impressive, you can choose between using the 18 cooling fan mounts for air cooling, you could install up to four 480mm radiators or you could mix solutions if you prefer. The radiator mounts slide out, offering a uniquely simple installation method.
Think again if you believe this a server case, the W100 ships with the CORSAIR Commander PRO digital RGB lighting and fan speed controller with iCue so you can start a rave party in it. As this case can contain two systems it supports the installation of an SFX and an ATX PSU, so your Mini-ITX and ATX systems are separately powered.
Storage fans like Al will appreciate the 11 drive bays while Sebastian will appreciate the meticulous care put into the cable management. The front panel sports a pair of USB 3.1 Type C ports and four USB 3.0 ports in amongst the tempered glass front fascia, with that see through feel carried out onto the side panel. Check out more details at Corsair, as well as the full PR below or just drop the $500 to see it in person.
With two systems worth of hardware to handle, the 1000D boasts a huge array of cooling options. Eight 120mm fan mounts to the front, three 140mm fan mounts in the roof and two 120/140mm fan mounts to the rear have the headroom to mount even the thickest liquid cooling radiators with fans in push/pull configuration. Fitted using replaceable telescoping fan trays* that make installation easy, the 1000D can equip up to 18 cooling fans and four 480mm liquid cooling radiators – the most liquid-cooling friendly CORSAIR case ever.
Look closer behind the monolithic design and epic capabilities, and you’ll find that the 1000D is loaded with extras to make building your system easy and ready for years of upgrades. The front panel offers dual USB 3.1 Type C ports, as well as four USB 3.0 ports, for multiple high-speed connections. Front, rear and roof removable dust filters ensure your system stays looking its best, while a rotatable GPU mount plate for the primary system lets you put your graphics card on show. When installing liquid cooling, you’ll find a wide variety of pump and reservoir mounting points, with an exhaustive array of screws and cable ties included to add the finishing touch to your system. Able to easily house today’s most ambitious systems, cool them with room to spare, finish them with fine attention to detail and light them with stunning, or subtle, RGB lighting, the 1000D is the ultimate super-tower case.
If you are looking for a housing for a super system, Corsair's monumental new Obsidian 900D, aka Super Tower, might be for you. The midget in the picture below is the 200R mid-tower, cowering in front of the 40lb, 27.3"H x 10"W x 25.6"L 900D. Triple TITANS and terabytes of storage are nothing to this case, it will swallow them and leave plenty of elbow room for you to tweak a fully installed system. You really have to read [H]ard|OCP's full review to understand just how many features have been added to this case; certainly enough to win it a Gold Award.
"Corsair is finally pulling back the review embargo sheets on its new "Super Tower" 900D PC case.

So I get an uninterrupted afternoon to play with some new graphics software. I’ve elected to let the housework go to hell, and the rain absolves me from yard work. I’ve got a manual open on my desk, the online help files, even a web tutorial video. I’m happily fiddling with pen sizes and ruler settings.
And the power goes out.
I mutter a few choice words and feel my way upstairs. The Artist is smugly nestled into the couch with his Mac powerbook. The Director and I decide to go up to the drugstore for batteries to power my little tiny camp light.
The tree looks healthy; the onlooker consensus was that the ground is just saturated from all the rain we’ve been having lately. | 2019-04-22T00:00:01 | http://bertha.yetta.net/2010/06/02/in-the-dark/ |

Shelter from the rain just got high-tech and invisible. A research and development team from China has come up with a battery-operated Air Umbrella, which creates a shield against rainfall via a jet airflow.
The gadget may seem like something out of a James Bond movie, and though it's still in the R&D stages, it is gaining popularity on Kickstarter. The Air Umbrella has surpassed its $10,000 Kickstarter fundraising goal with over $33,000 in support from over 275 backers.
Two models run on a 30-minute battery life -- not ideal for long commutes in a downpour, but the creators say they are working on improving that. The very visible (and bulky) base resembles a flashlight. Several versions provide options for a range of consumers.
The "b" or basic umbrella is about 20 inches long and weighs over a pound and a half, while the women's "a" version is smaller, at about a foot long and just over a pound, with only a 15 minute battery life. The scalable "c" product, which can be shortened from 31 inches to about 20 inches, is slightly heavier at 1.87 pounds.
As innovative as the product seems, this is not the first time air umbrellas have surfaced. As CNET points out, a Korean designer came out with the concept in 2010, but it never took off.
The latest inventors, who hold doctorates and advanced degrees from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, designed each umbrella to operate with high-speed jet air flow. "Jet airflow can isolate some objects," they explain on the Kickstarter site. "So when we make use of the airflow, we can protect ourselves from the rain drops... Then the airflow forms an umbrella with out visible cover."
Just like your traditional nylon taffeta umbrella, air umbrellas don't provide the best coverage in torrential rainstorms. The tech version also makes some noise. The developers admit that the products are most suitable for urban "users who are not demanding."
They're also a lot pricier than traditional umbrellas: the market price of the product is predicted to run around $200.
Funds raised on Kickstarter will go towards improvements in the appearance and battery life of the device.
Researchers say they will start manufacturing next year, and supporters can expect to receive their products by December 2015 -- or they will get a refund if creators can't make their deadline. | 2019-04-19T10:46:38 | https://www.cbsnews.com/news/invisible-air-umbrella/ |

(MS) - With debates continuing to rage on over the future of the world's environment, more and more research is being done into the viability of renewable energy sources. While some have already begun to embrace such sources, many more are still in the dark as to just what renewable energy sources are.
Renewable energy sources are those that can be replenished in a very small period of time. The most common of these sources include the following.
Biomass: Biomass is organic material made from plants and animals and contains energy from the sun. That energy from the sun is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis, and is then passed on to animals and humans that consume them.
Wood is the most common form of biomass, as wood is used for heating and cooking throughout the world. While it's less commonly used in the United States, wood is an important energy source for much of the developing world. And since it's always possible to plant more trees, wood is among the most renewable energy sources in the world. Other sources of biomass are crops and even biofuels such as ethanol, which continues to be promoted and considered as a means of lessening the world's reliance on petroleum.
Solar energy: Solar energy is energy produced by the sun that can be converted into other forms of energy, such as electricity and heat. Though solar energy is among the less reliable renewable sources of energy, this doesn't mean it isn't valuable. Solar energy is used to heat buildings, dry crops, and heat water.
Geothermal: Geothermal energy is heat collected from the earth. This energy is produced through power plants that drill into the earth in areas where steam and hot water has been trapped. Pipes then carry the hot water to a plant, where the steam is then separated and used to make electricity.
Unfortunately, thanks to its nature, geothermal energy can only be produced in places where the steam and hot water have been trapped beneath the earth's surface. For example, in the United States, all geothermal plants are located in the western region of the country, namely California and Nevada. Where geothermal energy can be used, however, the environment benefits greatly, as geothermal energy offsets the air pollution that would have been produced by fossil fuels.
Hydropower: Hydropower is one of the oldest sources of energy and is essentially energy produced from moving water. The faster water is moving, the more energy can be produced. If water can be channeled and harnessed (such as through the use of dams), hydropower can be a very valuable renewable energy source. As water is pushed through a pipe, it turns a turbine, which then begins to produce electricity. Such is the reason for reservoirs, which are essentially storing water until there is an energy shortage. Once the water is released, more energy in the form of electricity is created. Because hydropower produces no pollution, some regard it as the most valuable renewable energy source.
These are just a handful of the renewable energy sources that many feel will one day help offset the world's reliance on fossil fuels. To learn more, consult your local department of energy. | 2019-04-23T01:00:53 | https://www.newschief.com/news/20070518/mccheadbreaking-down-the-worlds-renewable-energy-sourcesmcchead/1 |

Moscow, Sep 14 (efe-epa).- The members of a two-man crew who will next month blast off to the International Space Station were undergoing their final exams in Moscow on Friday, an epa-efe photojournalist reported.
As part of Expedition 57/58, NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian space agency Roscosmos Alexey Ovchinin will on Oct. 11 launch on board a Russian Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, before joining three others on board the spacial platform, according to NASA.
"During a planned six-month mission, station crew members will take part in about 250 research investigation and technology demonstrations not possible on Earth to advance scientific knowledge of Earth, space, physical and biological sciences," NASA said.
The journey to the ISS will take six hours and upon docking, the pair will join NASA astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor, Expedition 57 Commander Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency and Sergey Prokopyev of Roscosmos, who docked at the module on June 8.
Hague and Ovchinin will return to Earth in April, while the other three already onboard to ISS are scheduled to return home in December.
The ISS was launched into orbit in 1998 and comprises more than a dozen modules used for storage, experiments and astronauts' living quarters. | 2019-04-21T18:37:35 | http://www.news4europe.eu/6368_science-technology/5656137_iss-crew-attend-final-exams-in-moscow-before-blast-off.html |
Spend less time nailing down your pitch deck and more time closing money for your startup.
Investors are busy and startups are everywhere these days. You need to stand out of the noise.
Investing in early stage startups is emotional, not rational. That’s why telling a story about your startup is just as important as building the startup itself.
Most founders will use a standardized pitch deck template from accelerators like 500 Startups, YC or Techstars. And then those same founders wonder why the vast majority of investors won’t pay any attention to them.
We help startups tell their stories in a way that captures attention. We’ll get you to the second meeting. And the third. Then it’s up to you to get the deal closed.
Now, we’d like to help you!
You answer a few questions about where you’re at in the fundraising process. This will help us understand your goals and current status.
You send us your pitch deck and anything else you’ve been sharing or plan to share with investors.
We review your pitch deck and give you our expert feedback and reactions as we’re seeing it for the first time.
We send you actionable, detailed feedback tailored around how to improve your pitch deck and story.
You make edits and send your deck back to us within 7 days, then we’ll review it one more time and provide you with detailed written feedback.
I want to be done with fundraising and focus on my business.
How do I get there faster?
I found pitch decks online of startups that got funded and created mine.
Did I include the right content in my pitch deck?
I’m getting conflicting advice on my pitch deck.
How can I really improve it?
I’ve done so many iterations of my pitch deck.
When do I know that it’s done?
I’m having trouble telling my story.
How do I tell my story better?
It feels like I’m spinning my wheels with investors and wasting time.
The feedback is limited to only one pitch deck.
We will look at anything else you have (financial model, investor emails, etc.) as context, however we will not be providing feedback on those items.
We will not be making changes directly to your deck.
We cannot guarantee that investors will give you money.
Who is the expert giving me feedback?
We offer a professional service to give startups a better chance of success at raising money from investors. We spend time thinking about your business and how to tell your story in a way that helps you create the best deck for your business.
I’ve gotten a lot of advice from other people, how is this any different?
We have a tremendous amount of expertise doing this. We’ve seen thousands of pitch decks and helped countless startups raise money. We provide advice with context across industries, company stage/size, and fundraising rounds.
The Pitch Deck Teardown is offered online and over the phone only.
Can I get my money back if I’m unable to raise?
We’re happy to refund you before we get started on the pitch review. We do not offer money back after the work is completed and do not guarantee funding with this service.
Will you introduce me to investors?
This service does not include investor introductions.
I’ve got more questions before I’m ready to buy.
OK, WHERE DO I SIGN UP?! | 2019-04-20T07:04:35 | https://www.resultsjunkies.com/pitch-deck-teardown/ |

Installing a soapstone countertop can be tricky, especially for first-timers. There are a lot of things to keep in mind: wall support, plumbing, and space allowances, to name a few. Proper installation makes the difference between a reliable, long-lasting soapstone countertop and a brittle one that costs you a great deal in repair and maintenance.
A soapstone countertop needs adequate support from the wall or floor, particularly in its weakest spots. Countertop support is mostly a matter of balance, and since the standard shapes are all symmetrical, they are easy enough to secure. For common rectangular countertops, this is as simple as placing supports on either and in the middle. A square countertop can be supported from the midpoint of each side or from the corners, while a round or elliptical one is best supported from the center, with the rails spreading evenly outward.
For irregularly shaped soapstone counters, weak spots are more difficult to locate, and wall supports are harder to place. Curved edges, for instance, add some weight to the front, so wall supports must face forward. Inadequate support can cause the curved edge to tilt down and fall off. If you are installing a custom-shaped countertop, it is best to find a builder or contractor to do so for you.
Your soapstone countertop must be constructed to fit around the existing plumbing lines in your kitchen or bathroom. This is a common pitfall; many people have had solid soapstone countertops made, only to call back again because the countertop interrupted their water flow. You can either have the plumbing restructured to make room for the countertop, or make measurements prior to ordering.
People usually complain of unexplained cracks on their soapstone countertops that seem to appear out of nowhere. These cracks are usually caused by drastic temperature changes. Soapstone, like all other solids, expands when heated and shrinks when cooled. This basic fact is often overlooked even by the best builders.
Have your soapstone countertop made a few millimeters thicker than planned. This will make room for it to expand or shrink liberally. Also, do not place the countertop too close or adjacent to the wall when it expands, the cracking can spread to your wall. Allow a centimeter or so for expansion.
Most of your countertop's durability depends on the foundation, so make sure yours is tough, firm, and solid. Wrap it with a slightly elastic fabric, such as mesh or cotton, to hold the hardwood sheets together. Make sure the foundation is laid out perfectly straight and flat. Soapstone is slippery, so a slight incline can send your things sliding off the counter to the floor. Ask your builder to use a high-grade mortar to attach the soapstone to the countertop. | 2019-04-25T10:58:35 | https://kitchen-counter-tops.net/soapstone/how-to-avoid-mistakes-when-installing-a-soapstone-countertop.html |
The world today has become a much smaller place due to the advent and wide spread use of the internet and other network connections. While this is very useful in terms of communication and transfer of data, the rapid rate of online progress has also been rejected in many harmful attacks by viruses and Trojans. Till now there has been adequate protection against such attacks by using conventional methods. But recent developments have shown that only the use of modern technologies such as two factor authentication and other related methods can fully provide protection from harmful and malicious viruses. Today there is an alarming increase in the security risk that is being faced by many organizations all over the world.
The data and information that is stored by any company must be protected and kept safe at all costs. This is because if confidential and sensitive information gets leaked out into the public, it can seriously hamper the growth of the organization. Two factor authentication services are being provided by restructured companies in the data security business. You should get in touch with them to get an analysis of the current protection levels of your organization and the exposure risk that you are experiencing. They can help to secure your private details.
Many companies all over the world are still using the systems that they had installed a few years ago. When compared to the conditions that are existing today, they pose some serious disadvantages. One of the main inconveniences is that the present systems sometimes take a lot of time to get to a particular client. This will cause a lot of delays. Secondly, if the customer loses his authentication token, he will not be in a position to access his account till he gets another one. To overcome all these problems, the tokenless authentication method is being adopted.
Using the latest and modern methods of providing security and authorized access to users has a lot of advantages when compared to the existing set up. The largest advantage is the ease of use and the costs that can be saved by implementing these advanced systems. Tokenless authentication provides an organization with many different options that it can implement based on its requirements. The companies that provide such services always make sure that they have the necessary infrastructure to provide support to their clients. This system will also help you manage your security features in a more improved manner. | 2019-04-22T17:08:13 | http://imsicatcher.info/media/modern-and-advanced-methods-of-system-security/ |
It’s almost end of October and believe or not, it’s going to reach a record-breaking 27 °C in Toronto. That means still a few more days of nylon-less legs, windows down while driving and ice cream.
I’m a self-proclaimed ice cream monster. This sweet treat stirs up emotionally charge memories of my childhood when Mama Lee would yell at me for only eating the strawberry section of the Neapolitan ice cream.
That sweet sweet taste was worth every word screamed in my ear.
When I heard about a new place serving liquid nitrogen ice cream, I just had to try it out for myself.
You heard me correctly … liquid nitrogen, the transparent, odorless, colourless, tasteless gas that boils at -196 °C.
And the same stuff that finally caused the demise of T-1000 in Terminator 2.
Let me put on my Bill Nye the Science Guy hat and explain.
Liquid nitrogen freezes the ice cream base (i.e. egg yolks, cream, sugar) at a rapid rate causing the fat and water particles to stay microscopic. This decreases the likelihood of ice crystals forming when the ice cream freezes too slowly using other forms like an electric machine or by hand.
As an overly eager observer, I reached out to touch the cloud of smoke only to have this employee to warn me that my hand was about to fall off! Contact with liquid nitrogen can freeze tissue and cause severe trauma.
With all of my body parts intact, I enjoyed the Mango Popice filled with milk pudding, ice cream and mango chunks.
I’ll take a few more days of summer and I’ll definitely be back to CoolN2. | 2019-04-19T08:20:57 | https://sarainthecity.ca/2016/10/17/cool-n2-nitrogen-ice-cream/ |
Jurassic magmatism in Sverdrupfjella, western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, is manifested as saturated and undersaturated syenite intrusions and associated dykes which range in composition from dolerite and nepheline syenite to quartz-rich compositions. Dykes in the study area show two dominant orientations namely N-S and NE-SW. Faults and joints are oriented slightly north of east. In a Gondwana context, the NE dykes, which appear to be older (c. 200 Ma), are oriented approximately parallel to σ1 and perpendicular to σ3 for the transpressional first stage of Gondwana break-up postulated by Cox in 1992. The N-S dykes and associated alkaline intrusions appear to be c. 170 Ma old and do not correlate with any of the stages of Cox. Faulting and jointing, which postdate the Tvora Syenite intrusion, appear to correlate with stage 2 of Cox indicating that this stage was amagmatic in Sverdrupfjella. Comparison of dolerite dyke compositions with those in a broader Gondwana context, shows that they have compositions typical of the ‘normal’ Karoo Province in southern Africa characterized by lower Zr, P2O5 and TiO2 contents and therefore are typical of dykes derived from Proterozoic metamorphic terrains. | 2019-04-23T00:35:22 | https://sp.lyellcollection.org/content/108/1/63 |

Joseph Smith was no stranger to issues of religious freedom, whether it was facing personal opposition to his early visions and teachings or witnessing intense and widespread persecution of Latter-day Saints. By 1843, a year before his death, the issue was so central to his religious and political thinking that he wrote all the candidates for U.S. president and asked if they would protect Latter-day Saints’ rights. When the responses were unsatisfactory, he mounted a presidential campaign of his own, centered on religious and civil freedoms.
Some of Joseph Smith’s most significant statements and writings concerning religious freedom are presented here. To aid researchers and others interested in using them, the passages are presented according to the project’s clear text style. Hyperlinks on the citations take readers to the original documents from which the quotations are taken.
We deem it a just principle, and it is one the force of which we believe ought to be duly considered by every individual, that all men are created equal, and that all have the privilege of thinking for themselves upon all matters relative to conscience. Consequently, then, we are not disposed, had we the power, to deprive anyone from exercising that free independence of mind which heaven has so graciously bestowed upon the human family as one of its choicest gifts.
We ought always to be aware of those prejudices which sometimes so strongly present themselves and are so congenial to human nature against our neighbors, friends, and brethren of the world who choose to differ with us in opinion and in matters of faith. Our religion is between us and our God. Their religion is between them and their God. There is a tie from God that should be exercised toward those of our faith who walk uprightly. . . . It is without prejudice, but gives scope to the mind, which enables us to conduct ourselves with greater liberality toward all others that are not of our faith than what they exercise toward one another. These principles approximate nearer to the mind of God because they are like God or godlike.
There is a principle also, which we are bound to be exercised with, that is in common with all men, such as governments and laws and regulations in the civil concerns of life. This principle guarantees to all parties, sects, and denominations and classes of religion equal, coherent, and indefeasible rights. They are things that pertain to this life; therefore, all are alike interested. They make our responsibilities one toward another in matters of corruptible things, while the former principles do not destroy the latter but bind us stronger and make our responsibilities not only one to another but unto God also. Hence we say that the Constitution of the United States is a glorious standard. It is founded in the wisdom of God. It is a heavenly banner. It is to all those who are privileged with the sweats of its liberty like the cooling shades and refreshing waters of a great rock in a thirsty and a weary land. It is like a great tree under whose branches men from every clime can be shielded from the burning rays of an inclement sun.
We, brethren, are deprived of the protection of this glorious principle by the cruelty of the cruel, by those who only look for the time being for pasturage, like the beasts of the field, only to fill themselves and forget that the Mormons, as well as the Presbyterians and those of every class and description, have equal rights to partake of the fruit of the great tree of our national liberty.
Mormonism is truth, and every man who embraced it felt himself at liberty to embrace every truth. Consequently the shackles of superstition, bigotry, ignorance, and priestcraft fall at once from his neck, and his eyes are opened to see the truth, and truth greatly prevails over priestcraft; hence the priests are alarmed, and they raise a hue and cry: “Down with these men! heresy! heresy! fanaticism! false prophet! false teachers! away with these men! crucify them! crucify them!” And now, sir, this is the sole cause of the persecution against the Mormon people. And now if they had been Mahomedans [Muslims], Hottentots [Khoikhoi of southwestern Africa], or Pagans, or in fine, sir, if their religion was as false as hell, what right would men have to drive them from their homes, and their country, or to exterminate them so long as their religion did not interfere with the civil rights of men, according to the laws of our country? None at all. . . .
Be assured, sir, that I have the most liberal sentiments and feelings of charity towards all sects, parties, and denominations, and the rights and liberties of conscience I hold most sacred and dear, and despise no man for differing with me in matters of opinion.
I believe that a religion is instituted of God and that men are amenable to him and to him only for the exercise of it unless their religious opinion prompts them to infringe upon the rights and liberty of others. But I do not believe that human law has a right to interfere in prescribing rules of worship to bind the consciences of men nor dictate forms for public or private devotion. The civil magistrate should restrain crime but never control conscience, should punish guilt but never suppress the freedom of the soul.
We wish it likewise to be distinctly understood that we claim no privilege but what we feel cheerfully disposed to share with our fellow citizens of every denomination, and every sentiment of religion, and therefore say that, so far from being restricted to our own faith, let all those who desire to locate themselves in this place, or vicinity, come, and we will hail them as citizens and friends and shall feel it not only a duty, but a privilege, to reciprocate the kindness we have received from the benevolent and kind-hearted citizens of the state of Illinois.
Governor [Joseph] Duncan knows that the law knows no difference between Mormon citizens and other citizens, and that there is no law in the United States or in this state to prevent people from worshipping the Almighty God according to the dictates of their conscience; that under the broad flag of American liberty, the Methodists, Presbyterians, Catholics, Universalists, Friends, or Latter-day Saints are all one. Their religion is unknown. They are all citizens of this great republic, and are governed by the same law, and they all possess equal privileges without distinction. . . .
[In Nauvoo] we have laws for the suppression of vice; for taking up vagrants or disorderly persons; for defamation of character, etc.; and if in our city a Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Latter-day Saint, or Governor Duncan was found transgressing these laws, they would be judged by the laws, and not by their religion.
When we see virtuous qualities in men, we should always acknowledge them, let their understanding be what it may in relation to creeds and doctrine. For all men are, or ought to be, free, possessing unalienable rights and the high and noble qualifications of the laws of nature and of self-preservation; to think and act, and say as they please, while they maintain a due respect to the rights and privileges of all other creatures, infringing upon none. This doctrine I do most heartily subscribe to and practice.
While we will be the last to oppress, we will be the last to be driven from our post. Peace. Be still. Bury the hatchet and the sword. The sound of war is dreadful in my ear. . . .
Mahometans [Muslims], Presbyterians, etc., if ye will not embrace our religion, embrace our hospitalities.
I never thought it was right to call up a man and try him because he erred in doctrine. It looks too much like Methodism and not like Latter-day-Saintism. Methodists have creeds which a man must believe or be kicked out of their church. I want the liberty of believing as I please. It feels so good not to be trammeled. It doesn’t prove that a man is not a good man because he errs in doctrine.
If we would secure and cultivate the love of others, we must love others, even our enemies, as well as friends. “Why is it this babbler gains so many followers and retains them?” Because I possess the principle of love. All I can offer the world is a good heart and a good hand. Mormons can testify whether I am willing to lay down my life for a Mormon.
If it has been demonstrated that I have been willing to die for a Mormon, I am bold to declare before heaven that I am just as ready to die for a Presbyterian, a Baptist, or any other denomination. It is a love of liberty which inspires my soul. Civil and religious liberty were diffused into my soul by my grandfathers, while they dandled me on their knees. . . .
If I esteem mankind to be in error shall I bear them down? No! I will lift them up—and in his own way if I cannot persuade him my way is better. I will ask no man to believe as I do.
It is one of the first principles of my life, and one that I have cultivated from my childhood, having been taught it of my father, to allow everyone the liberty of conscience. I am the greatest advocate of the Constitution of the United States there is on the earth.
Political views and party distinctions never should disturb the harmony of society. . . .
“A soft answer turns away wrath,” says the wise man, and it will be greatly to the credit of the Latter-day Saints to show the love of God by now kindly treating those who may have, in an unconscious moment, done them wrong. For truly said Jesus, “Pray for thine enemies.” Humanity towards all; reason and refinement, to enforce virtue, and good for evil, are so eminently designed to cure more disorders of society than an appeal to arms or even argument untempered with friendship. . . .
Our motto, then, is peace with all. If we have joy in the love of God, let us try to give a reason of that joy, which all the world cannot gainsay or resist.
We will honor the advice of [Illinois] Governor Ford, cultivate peace and friendship with all, mind our own business, and come off with flying colors, respected because in respecting others, we respect ourselves.
Meddle not with any man for his religion; every government ought to permit every man to enjoy his religion.
He then went on to say that for the benefit of mankind and succeeding generations, he wished it to be recorded that there are men admitted members of this honorable council who are not members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, neither profess any creed or religious sentiment whatever, to show that in the organization of this kingdom men are not consulted as to their religious opinions or notions in any shape or form whatever, and that we act upon the broad and liberal principle that all men have equal rights and ought to be respected, and that every man has a privilege in this organization of choosing for himself voluntarily his God, and what he pleases for his religion, inasmuch as there is no danger but that every man will embrace the greatest light.
God cannot save or damn a man only on the principle that every man acts, chooses, and worships for himself; hence the importance of thrusting from us every spirit of bigotry and intolerance towards a man’s religious sentiments, that spirit which has drenched the earth with blood. When a man feels the least temptation to such intolerance he ought to spurn it from him.
It becomes our duty on account of this intolerance and corruption—the inalienable right of man being to think as he pleases, worship as he pleases, etc., being the first law of everything that is sacred—to guard every ground all the days of our lives. I will appeal to every man in this council, beginning at the youngest, that when he arrives to the years of hoary age he will have to say that the principles of intolerance and bigotry never had a place in this kingdom, nor in my breast, and that he is even then ready to die rather than yield to such things. Nothing can reclaim the human mind from its ignorance, bigotry, superstition, etc., but those grand and sublime principles of equal rights and universal freedom to all men. We must not despise a man on account of infirmity. We ought to love a man more for his infirmity. Nothing is more congenial to my feelings and principles than the principles of universal freedom and has been from the beginning. . . .
Let us from henceforth drive from us every species of intolerance. When a man is free from it he is capable of being a critic. When I have used every means in my power to exalt a man’s mind, and have taught him righteous principles to no effect, he is still inclined to his darkness, yet the same principles of liberty and charity would ever be manifested by me as though he embraced it. Hence in all governments or political transactions a man’s religious opinions should never be called in question. A man should be judged by the law independent of religious prejudice; hence we want in our constitution those laws which would require all its officers to administer justice without any regard to his religious opinions, or thrust him from his office.
There are only two or three things lacking in the Constitution of the United States. If they had said all men born equal, and not only that but they shall have their rights, they shall be free, or the armies of the government should be compelled to enforce those principles of liberty.
There is a distinction between the church of God and kingdom of God. The laws of the kingdom are not designed to effect our salvation hereafter. It is an entire, distinct, and separate government. The church is a spiritual matter and a spiritual kingdom; but the kingdom which Daniel saw was not a spiritual kingdom, but was designed to be got up for the safety and salvation of the Saints by protecting them in their religious rights and worship. Anything that would tolerate man in the worship of his God under his own vine and fig tree would be tolerated of God. | 2019-04-18T16:44:12 | https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/articles/religious-freedom |

Hey, we made it to the Transformer movie yesterday and it was AWESOME!! The way they left it......there will be #3 I'm sure!!
I wanted to let you all know about some wonderful blog candy over on Anna's blog here. Check it out.....She is being so generous!!!
since I hadn't posted in so long. Here were my kids Easter cards this year. Pretty simple but I liked how they came out. Used a Studio G set here paired with one of my favorite EK Success border punches that I find myself grabbing all the time especially for those "man" cards.
Hope you all have a great weekend. We are going to try to finally make it to the new Transformer movie...we've promised and still have yet to make it there. So, if you've seen it.....don't tell me about it!!
When I attended the annual TAC seminar a couple of weeks ago in Wichita, this NEW stamp set was one of my favorites in the new catalogue called Be Square (set of 5 owls and 3 sentiments).
And you know what? Those that attended received this set while there!! Mischelle Smith wanted to give the seminar attendees one of her "favorite sets". Whahoo!! I couldn't wait to use this cute set when I got home. This card was made for my father-in-law's birthday. Do you notice the shiny eyes? I used crystal laquer on them. Mr. Owl was colored using my SU markers that I've had for eons and the background is Background Basics: Spots and Dots from...you guessed it!! PTI!! Do you see that border punch? This is one of my favorites in the EK Success line. It is so versatile and it embosses!! Well, what do you think? Need to get your hands on one of these owl stamp sets? Email me and I can make it happen!! I am still a demonstrator for TAC and would love to show the new catalogue to you!!
A couple of months ago, I decided to break down and purchase the PTI Desk Top Organizer Timeless Template(I think of it as a stationery set). I really like the idea of using these; however, my printer doesn't take PTI cardstock very well so I've had to adapt and make an original and trace. Anyway, these turn out sooo cute!! This particular set was made for a friend of mine who graciously lent me her Twilight series books to read (which BTW were awesome). I wanted to thank her for letting me read them. Here I used the PTI stamp set called Friends til the End. I love the look of the flower stamped "off" the paper some and paired with Mega Mixed Messages to the side. Something else I love is that Fresh Snow ink on Pure Poppy cardstock!! It just shows up so nicely. I think I made 4 different note cards and added envelopes. Here is a pic of how I packaged this gift.
Yes, I'm talking PTI......Their release is tonight and I've had my eye on a couple of sets the last couple of days during the project release on the PTI teams blogs. So, to prepare for the release, I thought I would post a card I made with last month's release Vintage Picnic for my sister-in-law. I am very happy with how this turned out. I absolutely LOVE these stamps.....I know I've talked about my obsession to a few "stamping friends" but now I've come out of the closet!! Have you checked them out yet? You know where I'll be at 10pm tonight....checking out the sets in their entirety and then at 11pm ordering that is to say if I don't get called into work!
I hope to join a couple of friends on MSN/Yahoo (if msn doesn't work....wink Laurie) to visit about the release! Thanks again Laurie for helping me with MSN!! See you all tonight!!
Paper: some PTI and other is from my "stash"
Just a very quick post today before my family comes for the holiday. We so enjoy shooting fireworks (none of the big gun stuff) and have now since moving to Topeka where they literally sell them on every corner!!
I didn't get my 4th of July cards made (again) this year but here is a patriotic card I made for my father-in-law for father's day this year. Jessica if you read my blog......I loved your 4th of July card!! Let me tell ya, this girl makes and sends cards for ALL holidays!! Even Nurse's Day!! It's always so nice to get one of her creations!! Anyway, here is my card using.....you guessed it.....all PTI stamps!! (Let Freedom Ring, Star Prints, and Everyday Classics) Star Prints is one of my FAVORITE stamp sets.....you can punch out the stars using the TwinkleTwinkle Fiskars star punch!! Any questions....email me. | 2019-04-22T23:57:19 | http://stamp-n-paradise.blogspot.com/2009/07/ |
John Donnelly, a resident of Key Largo was born, raised and went to high school in the South Bronx. Upon graduation he was awarded several scholarships to college. He chose to enlist in the United Sates Marine Corps. While serving in Vietnam John was wounded in action. He received two meritorious promotions, one during combat. Upon discharge and return to America, John had a difficult time transitioning back into civilian life. He found himself homeless for the next 4 years. As he worked out some troublesome concerns, he began to yearn to make some sense of his experiences via education. He sought and received his GI Bill benefits. He later graduated frpm the University of Miami on the President’s Honor Roll. While working at a Maximum Security Prison Facility for criminally insane adolescents, he earned a Master of Science degree from Florida International University. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More Articles by John Donnelly prior to November, 2014. | 2019-04-25T16:36:00 | http://thebluepaper.com/author/john-donnelly/ |
"Boulli, fowl, and cheese, all around. Bring a bottle Bordeaux and leave it parked and napkins for our collars. For the "Not-Nows," the crestfallen of a name and no insignia, to the Big Energy and the U.S.A...Usher forth the maths and sciences, where etiquette is a parchment! These attainers are old by centuries. Heap on a double helping and also make it an espresso to go" Why suffer a painful etiquette, a burden of great responsibility, and a neverending light of another's or all eyes in one's privacy when it can be left to those who would take them? If there is no need there is no game, and if there is no game there in no need. It is one thing to own valuable information and another to have to enforce with it or apply it in need.
Let "them" ride the waves!
IF it would happen, which is quickly becoming very doubtful, now, given the general opinion of the British (among whom I have many friend in all the classes they possess)... She is never in a hurry, nor should she! With her track-record it's not quite nice to make fun of HER... Make more fun of her off-spring; That would be way more appropriate and I'm sure she would laugh about it, too, because she really *was* active in the 2nd World War against a true oppressor, Hitler. Just like the one you fight so well against with your absolute cunning wit and knowledge, Sir Colbert!
Дайте мне поесть, у меня медведь в нефть превратился, это всё пиндосы воноваты!!!

Learn more about the Hosted Domains feature, which is offered by all web hosting suppliers.
The hosted domains feature of a web hosting account indicates the number of registered domains that one can add within the same account. Registering a domain and hosting it are 2 different services although many people consider them to be the exact same thing. While the registration ensures that you become the owner of a given domain address, the hosting aspect is what actually permits you to have a site because this is where your data and e-mails will be. Since these are 2 different services, you can register a new domain name with one company and host it with another one by modifying its name servers (DNS) - the domain name shall work in the exact same way as if it was registered and hosted with the same company. Also, it is very important to know that changing the hosting means pointing the domain address to a different company and not transferring it.
The web hosting packages we offer permit you to host a different amount of domain names. This way, you can select what package to get and how much to spend depending on your requirements. If you want to host more domains later on than the amount the current plan allows you to, you can effortlessly upgrade the whole package or even keep the same one and just add more slots for hosted domain addresses. If you want to employ the registration services of another company, you will be able to see the name servers you have to set for your domains in order to point them to our cloud platform in the Hosted Domains section of the Control Panel on our end. If you like to have everything in one spot, however, there is no limit on the number of domains you can register/transfer as part of your account no matter the hosting package that you have chosen. Then you can decide if you'll host them or you will forward them to other existing domains.
Each and every semi-dedicated server that we provide features unrestricted hosted domains. Regardless of whether you register a number of domains here or you already have them through another service provider, you can include them in the account on our end with just a few mouse clicks. If you want to get a new domain address from our company, it will be hosted automatically inside the account, so you'll not need to do anything else but start working on the website for it. All hosted domain addresses can be managed with ease in one location using our Hepsia CP. By comparison, in case you use rival Control Panels, you will be able to register a domain through one system and host it through another, not mentioning that you have to switch between several accounts to manage a couple of domain names. Therefore, Hepsia can save you time and efforts any time you manage your hosted domain addresses.
If you buy a VPS server solution through our company, you're able to host as many domains as you wish. You'll have your own server, so it is up to you how you will employ its resources. You'll be able to register new domain names via the billing account of your VPS or add domain addresses which you have already registered with a different company. Because we offer you 3 website hosting Control Panels for the servers, you'll have different choices for the hosting part - with Hepsia, a freshly registered domain name is hosted automatically on the server and you are going to control all hosted domains in one place (i.e. there aren't any main and add-on domains), while with DirectAdmin and cPanel you're able to create a separate account for each domain name you want to host on the server. The aforementioned option is helpful if you'd like to give access to your domains to other people. | 2019-04-23T08:36:40 | https://datotahost.com/hosting-glossary/domains-hosted/ |
If you are noticing mineral scaling on your plumbing fixtures, it may be time to consider a water softener. Did you know that hard water that leaves deposits in your piping can increase your energy costs? It can also shorten the life of your appliances. This mineral scaling deteriorates the plumbing, which can lead to costly repairs down the road.
Soft water will help prevent build-up of mineral scaling. Have you ever noticed orange or brown stains on your fixtures, water heater, clothes washers, dishwashers, or other appliances? This is due to hard water, and can be prevented with a properly installed water softener. According to Masters Water Conditioning Corp., “As little as 1/8” of hardness scale on a water heater element will reduce heating efficiency by 20%”.
Not only is soft water better for your home’s plumbing systems, but you’ll also feel and see the benefits. When showering with softer water, you will notice it feels slightly different when you wash your hair. Soft water is known for leaving hair more silky and shiny. Also, hot and soft water will leave your dishes more sparkling clean. You will have a reduction in spotting, filming and residue on your dishes. Additionally, you’ll notice your clothes will feel cleaner and look brighter! Since fabric fading is greatly reduced, you may notice your clothes lasting longer.
If you notice any symptoms of hard water, contact us and learn about our free water testing. We’d be happy to test the hardness of your water, and find the perfect water softener for your home. Please call us at 717-938-2521 for a free estimate. | 2019-04-25T21:41:36 | http://www.handysideinc.com/water-softeners.html |
ITHACA, N.Y. – Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit, Inc. (TCAT) and Cornell University signed a second Memorandum of Understanding in late June formalizing Cornell’s annual fare payments to the transit agency through June 30, 2021.
The most recent agreement increases Cornell’s approximately $3.1 million annual fare payment by 1.5 percent each fiscal year from 2019 through 2021 for a total increase of $141,334. In addition, the university provides $837,432 in annual contractual payment as Cornell’s equal share of the investment in TCAT made by the City of Ithaca, Tompkins County and Cornell and $152,090 for Cornell’s equal annual share of capital expenses.
Cornell makes this annual fare payment to TCAT to subsidize the cost of Cornell’s OmniRide bus pass available to employees and students (first-year students receive a complimentary pass and all registered Cornell students can ride TCAT at no fare cost after 6 p.m. weekdays and anytime Saturdays and Sundays) as well as to enable Cornell staff and faculty to ride TCAT at no fare cost within designated routes on and near campus.
Both parties announced they will begin negotiations in 2019 for a new agreement to extend the schedule of fare payments beyond 2021. | 2019-04-25T02:04:45 | https://tcatbus.com/tcat-cornell-work-in-unison-to-formalize-cus-annual-fare-payment-through-2021/ |

I love food; I live for food. I focus on quality to create wholesome meals for my family, friends, and anyone who is joining me for a meal. Food brings people together and that's what I love most about it. I'm always thinking about the next meal and get excited about a new recipe, cooking method, or ethnic dish I've never tasted.
Some of the simplest dishes are simply the best! Pesto is one of my favorite things to eat when the weather is hot and humid. It’s light and requires no “cooking” itself. Although, the pasta and chicken does but not much!
Cook according to the directions.
Separately, place the chicken in a pot, cover with water and boil until cooked through for about 10-15 minutes. (If you’re using tofu, prepare according to the directions and cut into small cubes. Sautée with a little olive oil and S & P.
Meanwhile, prepare the pesto. Combine the kale, basil, 1/2 cup of cheese, pine nuts and oil in a food processor and put on high until it becomes a paste. (If you prefer a thinner sauce add more oil).
Drain the pasta and remove the chicken from heat.
Chop or shred the chicken.
In a large bowl, mix the pesto, chicken (or tofu) and pasta and until evenly combined.

An air carrier MD88 flight crew has the circuit breaker to the captain's digital flight guidance computer open with a loud pop and they smelled electrical fumes. This was a repeat event and the system was disabled in accordance with the MEL.
Upon touchdown in rsw, heard circuit breaker pop and smelled electrical fume. Dissipated when turning off runway and taxied into gate. With cockpit floods on, found digital flight guidance computer #1 circuit breaker opened. Reset with same results. Called for contract maintenance. Posted fire guard when opening east&east compartment. Everything checked ok. Maintenance tried to reset circuit breaker with same results. Aircraft was dispatched with digital flight guidance computer #1 and flight director command system #1 inoperative. This was a repeat irregularity that caused the aircraft to be removed from service earlier that day. They replaced digital flight guidance computer #1. It should also be noted that no autoplt was in use through approach and landing and that digital flight guidance computer #2 was selected since it was the first officer's leg. I'm just happy it didn't happen during the WX penetration into florida and that it wasn't a fire or smoke event. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the captain of this MD88 said that the circuit to his digital flight guidance computer was not re- established during the rest of the day. He was very critical of his company's maintenance procedure. He alleged that the maintenance personnel simply replace components without diagnosing the problem and he said that that technique led to the problem in this case.

Street-drinking has cast a shadow over a Leeds community, a damning letter from West Yorkshire Police claims.
Drink-related violence and aggressive and intimidating behaviour in parts of Harehills have been exacerbated by the round-the-clock availability of alcohol, the letter, sent to Leeds City Council’s licensing team, claims.
Should more be done to curb street drinking in Harehills?
Painting a grim picture of life in the area, it adds that some people feel too afraid to walk the streets, and that many residents find themselves unable to sleep due to “shouting and fighting”.
The letter was an objection to an application for the Krakus off-licence in Harehills Road to extend its hours of alcohol sales to 24 hours a day. It included claims from a nearby resident that previously-granted 24-hour licences have blighted the community.
It added that during meetings with the police, local residents have repeatedly reported large groups regularly congregating outside off licences around Harehills.
It read: “(They) display intimidating behaviour, fighting, damaging property and making noise. Women report feeling intimidated as they try to make their way past these groups, often being subjected to lewd comments.
“Mothers have to steer pushchairs onto the road in order to get past these groups who refuse to move. It has led to many residents, particularly women and older people, feeling that they do not want to walk down their own high street during the daytime.
“The evenings are worse and many local people now refuse to walk around the area after dark, which in the winter means they are subjected to a very early curfew.
“However, even staying at home does not keep people from the negative effects of antisocial behaviour. Residents now find themselves disturbed and unable to sleep, due to the shouting and fighting of large groups of youths congregating in their streets until the early hours.
A representative from Krakus said it would combat any problems with regular staff training, CCTV and said it would not sell beer in any amount less than packs of four. It would also refuse to sell to drunk and disorderly or under-age customers.
Parts of Harehills are covered by a cumulative impact zone – an area authorities believe is more at risk of alcohol-related antisocial behaviour. Businesses in these areas are therefore much more difficult to obtain new alcohol licences for.
Harehills Road and Harehills Lane are not currently covered by the zone, but the police letter claims that enough evidence has been presented to support their inclusion for the coming year.
The application will be heard at a Leeds City Council licensing sub-committee meeting on Tuesday, January 15. | 2019-04-23T02:08:46 | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/lifestyle/food-drink/street-drinkers-make-residents-afraid-to-walk-parts-of-harehills-claim-police-1-9524143 |
“As with previous years, our response plan is only useful if it is adequately funded,” said the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, Ms. Osnat Lubrani, in a statement, at the launch of the Ukraine Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) for 2019 on 31 January, noting the need to continue and strengthen donor support.
The plan sets sight on mobilising US$162 million to provide aid to some 2.3 million vulnerable Ukrainians on both sides of the “contact line”. The appeal is slightly lower than what humanitarians asked in 2018 (US$187 million), but aims to reach with life-saving assistance and protection the same number of people as in previous year, through a stricter prioritised set of actions.
Over 120 representatives of the Government, donor, UN and international and national non-Governmental organizations, as well as media representatives attending the event, also heard about the devastating consequences of the conflict from the speakers, which also included the Deputy Minister of Temporarily Occupied Territories and IDPs, Ambassador of the European Union to Ukraine and a representative of the affected community. Moreover, the event provided a forum to reflect on the humanitarian efforts, existing challenges and discuss opportunities, as the conflict sets into its sixth year this spring.
The launch in Kyiv was followed by the UN Member States briefing in New York, which was chaired by the Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator (ASG/DERC) Ms. Ursula Mueller. The RC/HC briefed the participants via a video conference from Kyiv, and called on the international community to stand in solidarity with the people of eastern Ukraine and support fund the HRP. Mr. Vadym Chernysh, the Minister of Temporarily Occupied Territories and Internally Displaced Persons of Ukraine (MTOT) also participated in the event and provided his insights on the humanitarian situation, improvements of crossing conditions at the checkpoints and the most critical humanitarian needs of people affected by the conflict. During the briefing, ASG Mueller also announced the establishment of a Country-Based Pooled Fund (CBPF) in Ukraine, which is an additional tool to effectively mobilise funds to support the HRP.
The Humanitarian Response Plan: For the first time in Ukraine, the response will be of a multi-year nature, through a two-year strategy, which aims not only to address immediate needs, but reduce them overtime through strengthening links with recovery and development action, under the ongoing efforts around the Humanitarian-Development Nexus. The HRP is the result of a collective effort of hundreds of organizations, and is based on evidence methodologically gathered through a Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO), an analysis of over 50 assessments conducted in 2018.
The human cost of the conflict in eastern Ukraine continues to grow, although to a lesser extent. The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) recorded 279 casualties in 2018 (55 killed and 224 injured). This is a 54 per cent decrease compared to 2017, when the Office registered 604 civilians killed or injured.
In 2018, the highest number of casualties among civilians was recorded in April and May, when 46 and 62 civilians were either killed or injured, respectively. As autumn set in, the number of casualties gradually went down, from 38 in June to 9 in December. The low levels of casualties among civilians during these months may be attributed to the recommitments to ceasefire, first agreed in July for harvesting purposes, and another at the end of August, ahead of the start of the school year.
Continuous shelling and small-arms fire along the 427-km “contact line” and explosion of landmines and explosive hazards are the two major causes for death and injury. Of the 279 casualties, 56 per cent were caused by shelling, small-arms fire and light weapons, followed by some 43 per cent of death and injury caused by landmines and other explosive hazards.
While 2018 was the lowest in terms of the number of civilians killed or injured, one is still too many. Obligations under International Humanitarian Law to protect civilians must be upheld at all times, everywhere and by all.
Despite the low level of civilian casualties in 2018, there was a sharp increase of incidents affecting water workers in the last 12 months. The water staff of the water utility company “Voda Donbasu” particularly were at risk, as they came under fire on multiple occasions, or encountered landmines, while carrying out their daily tasks.
The Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Cluster reports that 12 workers of “Voda Donbasu” were injured since the start of 2018. In comparison, there were none in the previous two years. This demonstrates a change in dynamics of the conflict and increased risk of landmine contamination, which continue to put essential critical infrastructure and civilian workers in danger. ‘Windows of silence’, usually agreed to protect and allow safe passage of repair workers, do not last long with recurring security incidents around critical infrastructure, including the likes of Donetsk Filter Station.
For example, a single incident on 10 January 2019 injured three water workers of “Voda Donbasu”, when they were simply clearing snow to access the road to a major pumping station. Noting the alarming trend of increased incidents, the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Ukraine, Ms. Osnat Lubrani, issued a statement, stressing that “Clean water is a human right…” and calling to uphold obligations to spare civilians and protect these vital critical infrastructures under the international laws. “Voda Donbasu” delivers clean water through many pumping and filter stations to more than 3.5 million people on both sides of the “contact line”.
Over five years of protracted humanitarian crisis had a profound negative impact on children, teachers and the whole education system in eastern Ukraine. The Education Cluster estimates that over 770,000 children and teachers in more than 3,500 education facilities in eastern Ukraine are affected by the hostilities and in need of humanitarian assistance. More than 400,000 children experience direct impact of the conflict as they live, play and go to school on both sides of the “contact line”, where shelling and extreme levels of mine-contamination threaten their lives and well-being.
Sadly, schools often come under fire in eastern Ukraine. Since the beginning of the conflict, the Education Cluster reported over 750 education facilities to have been either damaged or disrupted. At least seven cases were already recorded this year, with one school in Zolote-5 coming under fire four times in a wake of six weeks. Hiding in bomb shelters is not an option for many, as only 30 per cent schools (Education Cluster) in eastern Ukraine have a safe space or a properly equipped shelters.
Nightmare, fear, conflicts with parents and peers, inability to concentrate on studies are only a few signs of psychological trauma that became a part of their lives. According to the Education Cluster, within the 20-km “contact line”, 6 in 10 schools observe the impact of the conflict on children’s ability to learn and/or their wellbeing, making the psychosocial support even more important.
Humanitarians continue delivering assistance to children and teachers to improve access to education services in eastern Ukraine. During 2018-2019 school year, some 49 per cent of education facilities have received at least one type of support. Within the 5-km “contact line” where conflict related education needs are most acute, some 93 percent of schools and kindergartens received support. This was only possible due to generous support from donors. While needs remain high, this support must be further strengthened to reach all children and teachers who need support.
In 2018, Ukraine received US$136 million in funding for the humanitarian response (of which, $72 was channeled through the 2018 HRP - 39 per cent of funds requested - FTS as of 18 February 2019) Despite Ukraine being among few countries requesting the least amount of funds in 2018 globally, funding gaps were among the largest for the year.
While this has put a relentless pressure on the operations, humanitarian actors, nevertheless, mounted a collective response and provided aid to some 1.3 million people on both sides of the “contact line” in 2018. This is reflected in 50 convoys that crossed the “contact line” with some 6,700 tons of aid, including shelter, household and winterisation items, hygiene kits, as well as provision of support to improve access to education, clean water and sanitation and protection services.
Since 2014, coordinated response efforts for Ukraine have mobilised more than US$800 million to help millions of people on both sides of the “contact line” (over half of it was mobilized though the UN-coordinated response plans). However, analysis indicates that for the last two years, overall funding for humanitarian operations in Ukraine has been on decline. After almost five years, the impact of this protracted conflict is more severe and complex. Additional funds to address the long-term challenges and needs of millions of people on both sides of the “contact line” are now required more than ever.
As the crisis in eastern Ukraine is well into its fifth year, civilians continue to bear its heaviest brunt. Fear of shelling, violent clashes, or treading on one of the many landmines or unexploded remnants of war (eastern Ukraine has been branded one of the world’s most mine-contaminated areas) are the daily reality for millions of people living on both sides of the over 420-km-long "contact-line", which is about the length of the French-German border. Since the start of the conflict, more than 3,300 civilian men, women and children have been killed and another 9,000 injured.
The crisis in eastern Ukraine has become protracted. The long-term consequences are serious with daily hostilities damaging critical infrastructure and often disrupting essential services, such as water supply and sanitation facilities. Every month, more than 1.1 million civilian crossings were recorded at the five checkpoints in 2018, where people often have to endure long waiting hours in the bitter cold in winter and scorching heat in summer to maintain family links and access basic services. This is especially arduous for the elderly, who make up 30 per cent of all people in need, the highest proportion in the world. People are increasingly affected by mental health issues having lived in fear for far too long, and lacking self-esteem after losing their job. The economic situation of the Donbas region, once the economic heartland of Ukraine, is dire which has seriously impacted household wellbeing and living standards.
Despite enormous challenges, the UN and its humanitarian partners continue to deliver lifesaving assistance to millions of people across the country every month. Over the course of 2018, more than 1.3 people benefited from some form of humanitarian assistance and protection services. Since 2014, over US$460 million has been mobilised through humanitarian response plans.
The humanitarian response is coordinated within six clusters: Shelter and Non-Food Items; Protection; Health and Nutrition; Education; Water, Sanitation and Hygiene; and Food Security and Livelihoods. Cluster partners conduct joint assessments, coordinate the response and monitor humanitarian assistance and programming. Relief and early recovery supplies, including food and non-food items, shelter materials, medicine, psychosocial support and hygienic and education kits are distributed. Access to safe drinking water through in-kind as well as cash assistance is provided. Other urgent humanitarian assistance includes provision of farming inputs, mine clearance and mine-risk education as well as other protection services. | 2019-04-20T20:15:57 | https://reports.unocha.org/en/country/ukraine/ |

In an odd twist, the Gamecocks were scheduled to play Marshall on Sept. 15 while the Hokies were supposed to play East Carolina.
"We've certainly handled a lot of disappointment," Fuetne said. "Now let's handle some celebration and people patting us on the back and let's get ready for this next game."
Two games that were called off as Florence approached - West Virginia at North Carolina State and UCF at North Carolina - were not made up. The Mountaineers, Wolfpack and Tar Heels each played 11 regular-season games. No. 7 UCF takes on Memphis for the American Athletic Conference championship on Saturday.
The only other non-championship Power Five contest scheduled Saturday is No. 24 Iowa State hosting Drake, an in-state school whose football program does not offer scholarships. The Cyclones had their season opener with South Dakota State canceled because of lightning and strong storms. | 2019-04-18T16:20:11 | https://www.hellomemphis.com/news/sports/286134/hurricane-bowl-season-has-gamecocks-hokies-st |

Well I may have imagined singing back then but you know when I actually got into the music business, it wasn’t as a singer at all: it was as an accompanist.
I started out playing for auditions, and from where I sat I learned alot because only one out of a hundred ever got the job they were auditioning for. Really, one out of a hundred.
But that didn’t stop the rest..no sir.
I learned more from failure than I learned from success.
I learned from no thank you, so much more than from yes.
I learned to be willing to lead with my chin.
And if I were willing to lose, I could win.
I learned from the losers who got right back in line.
The dimmer their future, than the brighter they’d shine.
Three cheers for the one, the one in a hundred.
But God bless the other 99.
Those courageous people changed my life.
They taught me that you can give in, you can give out, but you don’t give up.
But God bless, God bless….
All of us up here on this stage tonight are here because of the courage that we learned from the other 99. We’ll be forever grateful.
Right! I learned more from failure than I learned from success.
I learned from no thank you so much more than from yes.
And if we were willing to lose, we could win.
We learned from the losers who got right back in line.
upfront we were always meant to be.
there for all the world to see.
God bless…”Thank you”, No, thank you! | 2019-04-20T04:31:27 | http://letrasnow.com.br/b/barry-manilow/god-bless-the-other-99-letra/ |
The Hubble telescope has been photographing space for 25 years, but one of its latest images is beyond breathtaking. The photograph of the Andromeda galaxy contains an incredible 1.5 billion pixels; to put that into perspective, most computer monitors display less than 2 million pixels. But don’t despair, because in order to see this incredible image in full you just need to go to the Hubble website, where you can zoom in and see up to 100 million stars.
The Andomeda galaxy is one of the only galaxies in our area that has more mass than our own. It contains an estimated trillion stars, and as large and detailed as this image is it only shows a section measuring 40,000 light years across. The entire galaxy is believed to measure between three and five times bigger than this. | 2019-04-24T15:48:11 | http://samanthagouldson.com/1-5-billion-pixels-of-stars/ |

I work with families covering events such as a wedding, anniversary, birthday or 'day in the life' where a family or group of friends come together for the special day. The work usually becomes a book which becomes a very treasured present. I am not sure if there is a better present to give!
I cover special events for organisations and charities.
I am a trained teacher. I run photography workshops at Exeter Phoenix Arts Centre and some of my own independently for leisure or for work within commercial organisations. I can offer one to one tutoring.
Have an upcoming project? I'm a keen collaborator. I am working with scientists and ecologists on environmental projects this year. | 2019-04-20T04:52:34 | https://www.vanessamiles.com/about |
Determination of entomological indices to assess dengue transmission, predict dengue outbreaks, and evaluate vector control interventions.
Dengue fever is the most rapidly spreading mosquito-transmitted viral disease in the world. It causes ca. 390 million infections and 22,000 deaths annually in >100 countries. There is currently no cure and a recently licensed vaccine does not give complete protection. Disease prevention is done by mosquito vector control. Outbreaks occur periodically in most endemic countries, but outbreak detection is not accurate or timely enough to initiate control interventions in time. Critical gaps in knowledge remain. There is an urgent need to develop cost-effective and practical tools that can reliably measure dengue transmission and predict outbreaks. The project will assess human exposure to mosquito bites by detecting antibodies to mosquito saliva in human blood samples and detect dengue virus in mosquito adults and pupae. The project will be done during 2016-2019 in northeastern Thailand. It employs an integrated approach, where Study 1 is a prospective hospital-based case-control study (yr 1) to evaluate indices and dengue risk factors in positive and negative households. Study 2 is a cluster randomized controlled trial (yr 2-3) applying these indices to assess the effect of a vector control intervention consisting of treating household containers with a pyriproxyfen-spinosad mixture on epidemiological and entomological outcomes. The anticipated results will help authorities to forecast epidemics to plan and execute appropriate and timely interventions. The project is a partnership of international and national experts in the fields of entomology, virology, immunology, and epidemiology working with the Ministry of Public Health. Capacity building is an integral part of the project. As of November 2016, data on more than 100 human cases and controls in Study 1 had been collected, including blood samples, adult and immature mosquitoes, and household information. Data analysis is ongoing.
Contribute to the development of practical early warning systems for dengue epidemics by evaluating novel entomological and immunological indices that accurately represent dengue incidence.
Assess the accuracy of indices in identifying dengue positive and negative households (Study 1).
Identify risk factors that may distinguish dengue positive from dengue negative households (Study 1).
Assess the relationships between indices and dengue incidence longitudinally (Study 2).
Assess the relationships between indices and the impact of vector control interventions (Study 2).
This study will be carried out in Khon Kaen and Roi Et provinces in north-eastern Thailand. It will employ a prospective hospital-based case-control study, comprising epidemiological, entomological, immunological, and virological methodologies. The project is organized into four work packages. WP1. Epidemiology: Dengue surveillance, clinical case detection, human blood sample collections (including blood spots for WP3), and DENV and serotype detection. WP2. Entomology: Mosquito collections, DENV detection in mosquitoes, climatic and environmental data collection, vector control intervention. WP3. Immunology: Dried human blood spot samples (collected under WP1) analyzed in the laboratory to assess human exposure to Aedes mosquito bites. WP4. Data Management and Statistical Analysis: Logistic regression analysis to identify factors, in particular entomological variables, associated with risk of dengue. | 2019-04-21T10:12:41 | https://www.nmbu.no/en/faculty/realtek/research/groups/water/waterandhealth/projects/dengue-index |
How do I get rid of fire ants? My house is infested and they are coming through the ceiling.
I've tried baits, diatomaceous earth, borax, poisons like terro, etc. Those little suckers just won't go away. Because they come through the ceiling it makes it difficult to treat them. Dusts and liquid poisons can't be put on the ceiling. There are hundreds of thousands of them that I've dealt with the past few months. They keep coming back.
You should try finding where they are coming in at, chances are they are climbing a wall to get to the ceiling. We pour our used grease over the ant piles. Good luck on getting rid of them.
My ants are very intelligent. We've searched the yard for nests and how they are getting in. We can't find any trace of them outside. I think they might have magic powers because those little suckers have survived everything we've done to them.
The nest itself may be in the attic, hidden in a pile of insulation or some boxes or something. You may need to get an actual fire ant exterminator to search the attic for the next and to treat it there, then to find areas where they could have gotten into your attic and block those off with caulk or the likes. Ants are a pain, fire ants are even worse. They filled almost our entire 1 acre yard with ant hills a few months back, but with the right pet safe poison applied right before a good rain, we haven't seen an ant hill since.
What is the best and safest way to get rid of fire ants outside the home?

Kenn Thomas of the Steamshovel Press has alerted me to the sad fact that Acharya S, a leader and devoted theorist of the "Christ myth theory," died, perhaps not coincidentally, on Christmas, December 25, 2015.
She was suffering from breast cancer.
Kenn Thomas (pictured) wrote me, "Acharya passed away—at Christmas. Gods of coincidence again making themselves known...Very sad but not unexpected. She liked your work and considered you a friend."
"Murdock served as a trench master on archaeological excavations in Corinth, Greece, and Connecticut, USA, as well as a teacher's assistant on the island of Crete. Murdock was proficient in English, Greek, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese just to name a few....this amazing individual who has passed away on December 25, 2015," wrote the Mythicist Milwaukee.
I apologize for not posting sooner as this is a post I did not ever want to have to make - I regret to inform you that it is true that Acharya S/D.M. Murdock has passed away due to cancer on December 25th, 2015, oddly enough considering how much she wrote about pre-Christian religious concepts and rituals that probably led to Christmas type celebrations.
Acharya S, also known as D. M. Murdock, is the pen name of Dorothy M. Murdock, an American author and proponent of the Christ myth theory. She writes books, and operates a website named Truth Be Known. She argues that Christianity is founded on earlier myths and the characters depicted in Christianity are based upon Roman, Greek, Egyptian, and other myths. Her theories have received negative commentaries from academic scholars.
According to her website, Murdock received a Bachelor of Liberal Arts degree in Classics, Greek Civilization, from Franklin and Marshall College, after which she spent a year at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Greece.
Murdock began her website, Truth Be Known, in 1995.
In 1999, as Acharya S, she published her first book, The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold, arguing the concept of Jesus Christ as myth. She states the Christ story is a fabrication.
Her 2007 book, Who Was Jesus? Fingerprints of The Christ continues the theme of The Christ Conspiracy by expanding her theory questioning the historical validity of Jesus Christ alleging "early Christian history to be largely mythical, by sorting through available historical and archaeological data."
In 2009 she released Christ in Egypt: The Horus-Jesus Connection and The Gospel According to Acharya S.
She has been interviewed in Paranoia magazine.
In his book You Are Being Lied To, Russ Kick describes The Christ Conspiracy as "an essential book for anyone who wants to know the reality behind the world's dominant religion." In a book on American conspiracy theorists, Kenn Thomas calls her a "great chronicler of the conspiracy known as Christianity".
In his book In Search of Jesus, Baptist comparative religion scholar Clinton Bennett describes her views as being similar to those of radical freethinker Robert Taylor (nicknamed "the Devil's chaplain"), secularist MP and fellow Christ mythicist John M. Robertson, and American mythographer Joseph Campbell. In an article for The Christian Century, Butler University religion professor James F. McGrath describes her viewpoint as one that "once had some currency among scholars" in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but was subsequently abandoned.
Acharya S was criticized by Joel McDurmon, in part for the premise that Jesus was based on ancient sun gods because of the modern English homophones son and sun. Atheist activist and fellow Christ mythicist Richard Carrier criticized her use of the inscriptions at Luxor to make the claim that the story of Jesus birth was inspired by the Luxor story of the birth of Horus. Acharya S produced a rejoinder to Carrier's critique in which she describes the importance of the ancient Egyptian narratives of the birth of gods such as the one described at Luxor, the connections that existed between Egypt and the ancient Hebrew people and asks "[C]ould the creators of Christianity really have been oblivious to them?" Theologian Robert M. Price, who is sympathetic to the Christ myth hypothesis, wrote a critical review of Murdock's first book. However, he subsequently promoted her book Suns of God: Krishna, Buddha and Christ Unveiled in The Pre-Nicene New Testament: Fifty-Four Formative Texts, and wrote the foreword to Who Was Jesus?: Fingerprints of the Christ.
In his book Did Jesus Exist?: The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth, New Testament scholar Bart D. Ehrman discusses The Christ Conspiracy, which he calls "the breathless conspirator's dream". Ehrman says "all of Acharya's major points are in fact wrong" and her book "is filled with so many factual errors and outlandish assertions that it is hard to believe the author is serious." Taking her as representative of some other writers about the Christ myth theory, he generalizes that "Mythicists of this ilk should not be surprised that their views are not taken seriously by real scholars, mentioned by experts in the field, or even read by them." As a rebuttal of Ehrman's critiques, Price, Carrier, Murdock, and others, published the book Bart Ehrman and the Quest of the Historical Jesus of Nazareth in 2013. ~ Wikipedia.
Archarya S, was able to explain what I had suspected all along. I thank her.
So, she followed pseudoscholarship up with, in desperation, pseudomedicine in her last days.
Rest in peace, Archarya S.
She's about to find out if Jesus was just a grain-godling in the Frazer/year-king traditions, or if she and her books and friends are wrong, and he is the sole Son of God. | 2019-04-19T20:37:18 | http://copycateffect.blogspot.com/2015/12/Acharya-obit.html |

Do you have a property with a large garden, plot of land attached, paddock or other parcel of land?
It could be that this could be segregated from your property and sold to a developer for a premium.
Everyone has heard a story of their friend or neighbour selling a plot. Why cant we do this for you?
We have a database of developers and builders that could be interested in what you have. Why not give us a call or drop us a line and let us know what you have. We can then arrange to come and see the site and let you know what it could be worth.
How much is our land worth?
This will depend on a number of factors; where it is, does it have access, is it green belt land, what size is it, what is the potential gross development value once planning has been approved.
Can you help me develop my plot?
Yes, we have a variety of services for you. Whether it is development finance, planning assistance, surveyors, architects or a whole hand holding service. Whatever you need, we can help.
I have the skills and contacts to build out myself, but I do not have the money. Can you help?
Yes, we have a number of specialist developer finance schemes available, subject to status. It could be that a joint venture might the solution for you. Let’s talk.
I am looking to buy a plot of land. Can you help?
Yes, we usually have a number of plots available, often not advertised to the public. Contact us today to find out what we have.
Please drop us a line below and we can arrange to meet you at your property or discuss your needs here in our office.

The statistic illustrates the annual revenue of the transport catering industry in the Netherlands from 2008 to 2018. As of 2018, the revenue amounted to approximately 250 million euros, a slight increase compared to 2017. 2018 was also the best performing year and when comparing it to the least performing year of the ten reflected years, which was 2009, there was an increase of approximately 60 million euros.

Create a simple texture pack and put PNG images called “hud_heart_fg.png” and “hud_heart_bg.png” into that. The first one is for the foreground (red heart) and the second one for the background (black heart, it symbolizes the “absence” of health). Both images must be of size 16×16. The half heart is automatically created from the full heart image, it is just cut in half in the middle. If you want a half heart which was is not based on the full heart image, then you are out of luck: This is not possible with the Better HUD mod.
Creating a texture pack is very simple: Just create a folder in the “textures” folder inside your Minetest user directory. I guess you can give that folder any name you want. Now put the heart images into that folder, start Minetest and select your very own texture pack. If you now start playing, you should now have your very own heart images (but only for the Better HUD mod). Note that this change applies only locally, this means only your HUD is changed, the HUD of other players is not affected, even if you are hosting a server.
Repeat the same for hunger and armor, the images names are “hud_hunger_fg.png”, “hud_hunger_bg.png”, “hud_armor_fg.png” and “hud_armor_bg.png”.
Since Blockmen is not developing this mod anymore maybe it should be submitted to minetest-mods to continue development?
It'd make sense, but everamzah's fork with sprint should be considered as well.
This is the best mod which I know to hunger. I use it on my server over 1 year.
I want to propose an interesting change which I noticed today while developing a new mod for my server.
Add a greater variety of sounds for food (drinks, crunchy, common and lick).
The setting must be made in the file "food.lua"
https://github.com/tenplus1/hud_hunger -- updated hud/hhunger mod with sprint.
I enjoy using your mod any time I want a true-to-life Minetest experience.
Also thank you for adding support for so many mods such as Ethereal.
do I copy certain parts of code from the HUD Lua file?
I suspect this is a very simple question but help is appreciated.
Version 2.x.1 of the hunger mod has a critical bug which causes a server crash.
If any player eats food which causes poisoning (e.g. red mushroom from Minetest Game) and quickly leaves the server before the poisoning stops, the server crashes!
This bug has been fixed in my hbhunger mod.
Any mod which was forked from the hunger mod at version 2.x.1 or sooner will likely have this bug, too. Oh, and the bugfix is free to be used by everyone, of course (although I doubt this bugfix is subject to copyright).
The reason for this bug is that poisonp is called later by minetest.after which can happen at a moment when the player is gone, so player:set_hp will of course fail. The bugfix is a simple check.
great! now i just have to check five of my subgames.

Thank you, this is a great mod compilation and a very nice add for enjoying the Minetest game. This mod is working well with mods like xdecor, mobs_redo, 3d_armor and others from my experience since the 0.4.13 Minetest release. Like nirvana2165 kindly mentions one can ignore the "HUD_ENABLE_HUNGER" warning obviously.
Enjoying Minetest by Neoascetic's and Morn76's builds on Mac OS X 10.11.6 clients with local server and several modifications.
This mod is quite outdated and no longer supported, has unfixed ingame bugs, I suggest moving it to "Old Mods", any opinions?

I'm using it too. It seemed oddly balance to take forever for the hunger bar to diminish and then it kills really fast. I assume this is due to it's age and no longer being as in-line with the modern gameplay mechanics. Tweaked the numbers and disabled damage while idle (if we're not moving we're not playing) and it seems to work really well on my server now.
Well, if you use it on a server, don't be surprised if it crashes because this mod has several critical bugs. This can be easily exploited by not-so-nice players who know these bugs. I do not recommend to use this on servers.
The hunger mechanic in this mod is not obvious: The trick is that you can actually have 30 hunger points, but only 0-20 are shown in units of half breads. If you have a full hunger bar, you have between 20 and 30 hunger points.

Yes, it's sad that the mod seems to be dead since 2 years. All newer hunger mods just don't "feel" as good as this one.
It could be switched from setting player inventory, to setting player attributes very easily.
I might suggest also switching from registering compatible food items externally to simply overriding minetest.item_eat.
Good advice. We are using it on a private server for the family so no worries.
What about hbhunger + hudbars? It's a direct fork and has identical mechanics.
The only thing you need to do is to change a HUD bars setting to get the statbars back.
Stop using this mod, already! Please! It's been abandoned since years and has known critical bugs which won't get fixed by the original author. It's of no use to complain in this thread, this won't get you anywhere.
NEVER use this mod on servers, because any player is able to crash your server at will which I explained earlier.
There's a reason this mod is in Old Mods! | 2019-04-20T04:51:42 | https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?p=310499& |
