In Mini Metro, you handle the job of developing the train layout for a quickly broadening city. Your city begins with three stations. Draw routes between these stations to connect them with train lines. Commuters travel along your lines to get around the city as quick as they can. Each station can only hold a handful of waiting commuters so your train network will may need to be well-designed to avoid delays.The city is growing. More stations are opening, and commuters are appearing faster. The needs on your network are ever-increasing. You'll be constantly upgrading your lines to maximise efficiency. The new possessions you make each week will assist exceptionally-- as long as they're utilized wisely.Eventually your network will fail. Stations will open too rapidly.

The New Nisi 100mm Landscape Filter Kit provides the best filters to help you get those amazing landscape images with the most flexibility for a variety of situations.
Each Kit includes the New Nisi 4 Filter wallet with tripod strap, and filters are supplied in their original packaging so you also receive the original leather wallets, handy if you just want to take one filter. The Nisi Clever Cleaner and a Filter Cloth is also included.
And, there are options, allowing you to select the filters to suit your needs.
Kit 1 contains two Graduated filters, IRGND16 4 Stop Soft and IRGND8 3 Stop Medium, and the two most popular ND filters for long exposures, the IRND64 6 Stop (Little Stopper) and IRND1000 10 Stop (Big Stopper).
Or you can select Kit 2 for three Graduated filters and one ND filter if you prefer more graduated filters.
Flexibility does not stop there. As these kits are supplied in their own retail boxing rather than a boxed set, filters can be swapped if needed. Prefer to have a 2, 3 or 4 Stop to that listed? Just get in touch and it can be arranged. The aim is to give you what you want.
Nisi Soft Graduated have a very soft graduation which is ideal for situations were main elements dominate the horizon such as mountains. Being so soft means you can use a stronger ND factor than normal for more flexibility. A 4 Stop Soft Graduated will prove more flexible because it has a wider range than a 3 Stop.
The medium is fast becoming the ‘go-to’ graduated filter for many. Having a large feathered area of around 25mm gives plenty of leeway for uneven horizons whilst giving more control over bright horizons. It has a huge range of uses and will be your main workhorse filter. And because Nisi Soft Graduated are so soft, if you need more you can stack the Soft with the Medium.
The Reverse Graduated filter is perfect for sunsets and sunrises. Even when the sun hits the horizon as a muted golden ball it is still incredibly bright, too bright for nearly all camera sensors. The Reverse Graduated filter is stronger in the middle and fades towards the top where less filtration is required. In most cases a 4 Stop is recommended, if you have a very high Dynamic Range camera like the D850 then a 3 stop may be more suitable. The Reverse Graduated is more suited to relatively even horizons, although where features like mountains will be rendered darker, and additional shot to blend can be taken, or shadows opened. It is much easier than trying to recover a blown out sun.
ND filters are the staple filters for any landscape or seascape photographer, allowing much longer shutter speeds than possible without one. For the best flexibility the Nisi IRND 6 Stop and 10 Stop are included. Nisi IRND filters are very neutral with 100% even light transmission right into the corners. For long exposure work the 6 and 10 stop compliment each other perfectly, in some situations a 10 may be too much, or the 6 not enough. The 6 and 10 have become the two ND filters of choice for long exposure work. And to help you calculate exposures a handy printed guide is included with the filter cloth, along with the Nisi Filter calculator App which can be downloaded for ioS and Android.
This provides an option for those who prefer to use a Soft Graduated Filter. A 3 Stop Soft Graduated is included, together with a 2 Stop Medium Graduated Filter. Both filters provide great flexibility for different light, and stacking both together gives the photographer a huge amount of control.
NEW – Nisi Filter Wallet for four filters. Durable canvas with stiff nylon outer and dividers.
*Note Nisi Filter Holder not included. Please add the holder to your basket if required. | 2019-04-26T02:07:42 | https://www.philnortonphotography.co.uk/_photo_16296617.html |

I Words: Most people hardly think that there is a difference between "weight" and "mass" and it wasn't until we started our exploration of space that is was possible for the average person to experience, even indirectly, what it must mean to be "weightless". Everyone has been confused over the difference between "weight" and "density". Which of us hasn't fallen for the old riddle: What weighs more, a pound of lead or a pound of feathers? Now that Astronauts regularly seem to be demonstrating "weightlessness", ( yet we know they still have all of the matter or mass they had when they were on earth,) more of us are beginning appreciate the weight - mass confusion. Like many confusing concepts, after they are finally understood, they are still difficult to explain to others who don't understand. We hope we can explain the difference between mass, weight and density so clearly that you will have no trouble explaining the difference to your students.
Weight: If you can finally accept the concept mass even if we have been unable to define it, weight is easy: The weight of a mass is the force that the earth pulls on the mass. We hope you have a feeling for what force means (and we will discuss it later). The entire idea of weight can be understood as the force of gravity on something. Usually we spend most of our time on Earth so our weight is the force that the earth pulls on us. If we get further away from the earth, the force the earth pulls on us is less and we weigh less. If you lived on Mars, the above definition would probably change to: "The weight of a mass is the force that Mars pulls on the mass." The whole idea of weight is related to the force of gravity (and we hate just to use the word "gravity" since it can bring up even more confusion). It would be correct to say, no matter where you might be in the universe that "the weight of a mass is the force of gravity on the mass." In the metric system force is measured in newtons hence weight is also measured in newtons. You will learn later that on the surface of the earth, a mass of 1 kilogram weighs 9.8 newtons. (You will probably never learn anywhere that on the surface of the earth, one slug weighs 32.2 pounds--don't worry about it, very few people know this!) The pound is the US unit of force hence the US unit of weight is also the pound. We will use newtons for the unit of force (and weight) almost always in the discussions that follow.
Density: There are two kinds of density, "weight density" and "mass density". We will only use mass density and when we say: "density", we will mean "mass density". Density is mass per volume. Lead is dense, Styrofoam is not. The metric system was designed so that water will have a density of one gram per cubic centimeter or 1000 kilograms per cubic meter. Lead is about 10 times as dense as water and Styrofoam is about one tenth as dense as water.
The purpose of this activity is to investigate the meaning of mass, weight and density by looking at how each might be measured.
It will be necessary to poke holes in the portion cups. Should you do this in advance or can your students do it? A small nail works well for this purpose. Probably time could be saved in class if the necessary strings were cut to length in advance (and perhaps even tied to the cups).
Building the "Weight Scale" requires some careful cutting of a straw that can be done with a good pair of scissors or a sharp knife. We think kids can do all of it but it will take time. You should build one prototype Weight Scale in advance so you can work out the details of construction and decide how much of the cutting should be done in advance.
Measuring mass: Mass is usually measured with a balance. The idea is to compare the unknown object with the mass of a known amount. Illustrated below is the device we will use to measure mass and we will call it "the Mass Balance".
Since everyone seems to have lots of pennies and all pennies are about the same mass, we will use the penny as our standard of mass. (It turns out that the average penny has a mass of about 2.6 grams and you can convert to grams if you wish but for now, we will simply determine mass in "pennies".) The mass measurement is accomplished simply by placing the unknown object in one cup of the Mass Balance and finding out how many pennies placed on the other side it takes to achieve balance. You should first check the Mass Balance with nothing in either cup to see if it is properly "zeroed". You should notice that the balance is most sensitive when the upper paper clip is in the center hole (in fact it is really too sensitive here) and it will be less sensitive when you use the higher holes. Slight errors in the zero reading can be corrected by using shorter or longer string sections on the appropriate side. Make sure all paper clips rotate freely in the drilled holes. The balance will not work properly if the paper clips hang up. The Mass Balance can be loaded with the cups on the table and pulling upward slightly on the support paper clip will test the balance condition. We suggest that students begin by matching pennies on the left with pennies on the right (and they should discover that all pennies aren't really the same--this is real!) After the students become familiar with the use of the balance, we suggest that nearly equal volumes of the assorted materials (sand, rice, metal shot, Styrofoam) be measured. If you are using the 1 oz Dixie portion cups, it is possible to draw a line on the cup 1.4 cm above the bottom and it will represent 10 cubic centimeters and a line 2.3 cm above the bottom of the cup will represent 20 cubic centimeters (or milliliters).
A very important question to consider now is: If you used this Mass Balance on the moon or on Mars, would the same amount of material on one side require the same number of pennies on the other side to balance it as it did on Earth? Naturally there is no easy way for us to perform such an experiment but, having your students think about this should help them to start understanding the difference between weight and mass. Mass or as Newton would say, the quantity of matter in an object, does not change when you change your location in space but, as we will see shortly, weight does change.
The students will calibrate this Weight Scale with pennies and mark the 3 X 5 card with a marking pen during the calibration exercise. Attaching the rubber band to the bail of the cup is easily accomplished with a slip knot but attaching the string to the rubber band is a slight problem--a suggested knot is shown with the illustration. The whole idea is to have the zero of the scale at the bottom of the card using the string-rubber band junction as the pointer. With about 25 pennies in the cup, the rubber band will stretch to about the top of the card. (You hold the scale with the string which has been passed through a small piece of straw taped to the card.) The students will carefully load the cup with pennies and mark the card at about 5 penny intervals.
A more detailed construction of the Weight Scale is shown "below." (Again, we suggest that you construct one in advance so you can evaluate how difficult it is to build.) Note that in the construction diagram "below", we show how the straw should be sectioned so that it can be attached to the 3 X 5 card. (In the final scale, naturally, the string and rubber band fit inside of the straw sections.) It is important that the lower length of the straw be made just long enough to extend from the top of the paper clip "bail" to the bottom of the card with the rubber band sticking out the top. You must be able to tie the rubber band to the string and have the junction of the two be on the lower end of the 3 X 5 with nothing in the cup.
This is the "below" referred to in the above paragraph. We decided it would take a large image to show the necessary details so, if you have the time, click here for Weight Scale Construction Details.
Measuring Density: Since density is mass per volume, the most straight forward way of measuring the density of something is to measure its mass, then measure its volume and divide the mass by the volume. We could do exactly that in this activity but at this point we have no good way to measure volume. If you have a graduated cylinder (they aren't expensive but most elementary schools don't have them) you could use it with some water to mark the small "portion cups" at specific volumes. (We have already suggested that the small 1 oz cups will hold 10 cubic centimeters when filled to a point 1.4 cm above the bottom and it will hold 20 cubic centimeters when filled to a point 2.3 centimeters above the bottom.) Rather than actually measuring the density, we feel it will be sufficient for the students to appreciate that the same volume can be a large mass or a small mass depending upon the material involved. Our plan is to have the same volume of several different materials and measure their mass with the Mass Balance. Hopefully this exercise will help the students to begin to see the relationship between mass, volume and density.
Mass, Weight and Density--how matter is measured, how it interacts with other matter and how it fills space.
Which is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of lead? If you have never heard this old trick question before--think about it. Now try this one: which takes up more space, a pound of feathers or a pound of lead? Finally, think about this one: which weighs more 100 pennies on the earth or 100 pennies on the moon? The answer to each of these questions requires that you understand the difference between mass, weight and density.
You will measure the mass of objects by comparing them to the mass of pennies with a thing we will call a "Mass Balance". Although mass is usually measured in kilograms or grams, we will measure mass in "pennies". The Mass Balance is shown below.
This balance measures mass in "penny" units.
Mass of material in "pennies"
Measuring weight in units of pennies.
Weight of material in "pennies"
Although your measurements are not perfect (no measurements ever are) you can use your calibrated Weight Scale to find the weight of assorted things and you could even use it to count pennies. Now comes a very important question: If you took your calibrated Weight Scale to the Moon, would it work the same way it did on Earth? If you filled it with the same amount of pennies, would the rubber band stretch to the same mark? Have your teacher discuss this with you and see if you can understand the difference between weight and mass.
Density tells us how much stuff has been packed into a certain amount of space. Lead is very dense, Styrofoam is not very dense at all. Density can be measured in grams per cubic centimeter. In our experiments, density could be measured in "pennies per cup". In your experiments with the Mass Balance, you always measured the mass of the same volume of material. Use the data you took to list the materials you measured in order of density with the most dense at the top of the list down to the least dense at the bottom of the list. You don't have to calculate the density in "pennies per cup" since you always measured the same volume of material--just look at your data to make the list.
After you have made your list of the densities of the materials, think about the following important question: How do you think the density of a substance would change if you measured it on the Moon rather than on the Earth?
1. You have an object and you want to know if it will float in water. To answer the question: "will it float?" do you need to know the objects mass, weight or density?
2. A student's mass on Earth is 50 kilograms. If this student went to the Moon, would her mass be more, less, or the same?
3. A student's weight on Earth is 100 pounds. If this student went to the Moon, would he weigh more, less, or the same? | 2019-04-25T18:17:50 | http://www.physics.ucla.edu/k-6connection/Mass,w,d.htm |

Alexander pledged his support for the administration’s request for $30 million for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and $58 million for the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) in the continuing resolution, which is expected to be passed this week to help control the Ebola epidemic. He also said he would support the Defense Department’s request to help with the Ebola response.
“We must take the deadly, dangerous threat of Ebola as seriously as we take ISIS. The spread of this disease requires a more urgent response from the United States and other countries.
“This is one of the most explosive, dangerous, deadly epidemics in modern times. The nations of the world know what it will take to reduce the number of deaths from this epidemic, and that it will require an immediate and huge response.
“There is no known cure. Half of those who get sick from Ebola die. Each sick person could put 20 or more other people at risk, including caregivers, friends, or family.
“This is an instance where we should be running toward the burning flames with our fireproof suits on.
“Ebola is killing people in West Africa at alarming rates, and it is picking up speed.
“The World Health Organization data reported today indicates that the number of new cases reported in the 21 days prior represents 47 percent of all cases reported thus far.
“There have been a total of 4963 Ebola cases reported in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. And almost half of those - 2344 cases - were new and reported in just the last three weeks.
“We need to act now and do all that we can to combat this disease.
“Ebola is not like the flu. It is only spread by bodily fluids, often contracted by caring for someone who is sick or through burial practices.
“Some people might wonder why we should have so much concern for a disease that is halfway around the world. There are many reasons why we should all care.
“The effects of the virus are already challenging economic and political stability, as well as global security and travel.
“With global travel these days, we are only one airplane ride away from a person exposed to Ebola getting on a plane to the US and then becoming sick once they arrive.
“Second, there is the human tragedy in these West African countries. What these countries are experiencing as Ebola ravages their families and society is unconscionable, and the United States is still the indispensable nation, so we must act because only we can with the knowledge, resources, and compassion that we can bring to bear.
“Dr. Brantly, who is testifying today about his work at Samaritan’s Purse and as an Ebola patient, isn’t a Tennessean, but he is the son of two graduates of Lipscomb University, which is in Nashville. He also has siblings that attended Lipscomb.
“And as the Volunteer State, many Tennesseans volunteer to participate in mission trips to Africa to help with medical care, or to provide clean drinking water, or to build schools, and share their faith, or participate in many other worthy causes. We share this spirit with many Americans around the country, so it is truly a national concern.
“Also, there are many Americans in Africa serving our country through the military and our embassies in those countries.
“I will support the administration’s request for $30 million for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and $58 million for the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) in the continuing resolution, which is expected to be passed this week to help control the Ebola epidemic.
“The BARDA funds will allow the agency to accelerate development and manufacturing of a potential drug to treat Ebola and vaccines to prevent it.
“I also support the Defense Department’s request to reprogram $500 million to help with the Ebola response and for DOD to assist controlling the outbreak. I look forward to hearing more details about the upcoming request.
“I am pleased that our leaders on both sides of the aisle in both chambers have come together to ensure that these resources are in the continuing resolution we will be voting on in the next few days, and I hope that we get the reprogramming request approved and pass the CR quickly.
“This is an emergency. We need to recognize it as such, and we need to partner and work with other countries around the world that recognize that fact.
“Last week, I had briefings and conversations with the CDC Director Tom Frieden and United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power, who are working to enlist other countries in an effort to control the Ebola epidemic, and I offered them my full support to their efforts to stop this ferocious epidemic.
“Thank you all for being here today to help us bring attention to the threat of the Ebola epidemic and the urgency to act. | 2019-04-25T02:03:51 | https://www.alexander.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ContentRecord_id=CF6DD748-4A54-49B7-B841-242FA50BE114 |
Nicole Kidman accepted the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series for Big Little Lies at this evening’s Emmys, and made a powerful statement about domestic violence.
Wow, thank you, thank you so much. Reese, I share this with you, without you I would not be standing up here. So Bruno and—the greatest collaborators, you make this happen, thank you. Thank you to the television academy for recognizing our show, for recognizing this performance. Thank you to HBO for never wavering in your belief in us. Thank you to the extraordinary cast and crew that we had, to Laura, to Zoe, to Shai, to Alex and Robin who were my intimate acting partners.
It all started with Liane Moriarty in Sydney, when she entrusted us with her book. Then David E. Kelley came along and shaped it with his brilliant storytelling. And Jean-Marc Vallée, this is yours, your vision. You imbued this series with your passion, with your artistry. Thank you. I have a huge artistic family who have supported me through all of my ups and downs. I can't name all of them but Kevin, Susan and Chris, Wendy, Miranda, Katie, Michelle, Leslie, Angie, Liz, all of you, you have been so loyal to me, through my whole life. Thank you for that.
I also am a mother and a wife. I have two little girls, Sunny and Faith, and my darling Keith. Who I ask to help me pursue this artistic path and they have to sacrifice so much for it. So this is yours. I want my little girls to have this on their shelf and to look at it and go, "Every time my momma didn't put me to bed it is because of this. I got something." But also I want them to know that sometimes when you are acting, you get a chance to bring a bigger message, and this is their contribution and your contribution. We shone a light on domestic abuse. It is a complicated, insidious disease, and it exists far more than we allow ourselves to know. It is filled with shame and secrecy, and by you acknowledging me with this award, it shines a light on it even more. So thank you, thank you, thank you. I bow down to you. | 2019-04-24T09:10:02 | https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a12264131/nicole-kidman-emmys-2017-speech/ |

continuing with Arendt’s works, that she would have assigned a political character to this judging faculty if she had been able to conclude her projected analysis of this faculty.

clarificar el carácter político de la capacidad de juzgar.
Para ello, explica, en un primer momento, la perspectiva y el criterio del juzgar a partir de las reflexiones tempranas de Arendt en su Introducción a la política, así como en sus reflexiones posteriores sobre el juzgar y en una cita tomada de una hoja elaborada en el último período de su vida. En un segundo paso, señala el significado que tienen la filosofía política de Kant y algunos parágrafos de la Crítica de la facultad de juzgar en la búsqueda de Hannah Arendt de una capacidad de juzgar autónoma. Finalmente, muestra, continuando los trabajos de Hannah Arendt, que ella hubiera adjudicado a esta facultad de juzgar un carácter político de haber podido concluir su proyectado análisis de esta facultad.

A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic garbage bags behind her. One of the bags was ripped and every once in a while a $20 fell out onto the sidewalk.
Noticing this, a policeman stopped her, and said, "Ma'am, there are $20 bills falling out of that bag."
"Oh, really? Darn it!" said the little old l ady. "I'd better go back and see if I can find them. Thanks for telling me officer."
Well, now, not so fast," said the cop. Where did you get all that money? You didn't steal it, did you?"
"Oh, no, no", said the old lady.
"You see, my back yard is right next to a Golf course. A lot of Golfers come and pee through a knot hole in my fence, right into my flower garden. It used to really tick me off. Kills the flowers, you know. Then I thought, 'why not make the best of it?
"Well, that seems only fair," said the cop, laughing. "OK. Good luck! Oh, by the way, what's in the other bag?"

Cuban novelist, essayist, And musicologist, who influenced the development of Latin American literature, particularly through his writing style, which incorporates all dimensions of the imagination—including dream, myth, magic, and religion —into the idea of what is real. Carpentier was powerfully influnced by surrealism and contributed to the magazine La révolution surréaliste, at the urging of French poet and critic André Breton. However, Carpentier was critical of the mindless application of surrealism; in his work he strove to incorporate the "marvelous"—a version of reality which he maintained was exclusive to the Americas. His novels include El reino de este mundo (1949; The Kingdom of This World,1957), a novel of the Haitian Revolution, and Los pasos perdidos (1953; The Lost Steps,1956), a fictional diary of a Cuban musician in the Amazon, which is concerned with the nature of time.
Word study is one way for the older student to improve reading ability. This involves using a dictionary and thesaurus, studying word parts, and learning how to find the meaning of a word from the context. Students can also improve their vocabularies by paying conscious attention to any new words they may encounter.
Because a mature reader must have several different reading rates available for different materials and purposes, practice in skimming a passage for general meaning and scanning for specific information is useful.
The development of efficient study strategies is important in learning various kinds of subject matter. One useful study technique is outlining, which helps to develop an awareness of the main points and details of a selection.
Various studies have shown the importance of good teaching and of effective school leadership in promoting reading achievement. Students seem to learn to read better, for example, if the school principal is a strong leader with high expectations about reading achievement. The amount of direct instruction in reading and the amount of time students spend in reading-related activities also affect reading development.

Last week’s Flash was full of tears, as Barry (Grant Gustin), desperate to save Iris (Candice Patton) as the clock wound down, went back in time to get Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) to help him steal an energy source from A.R.G.U.S. This energy was needed to fuel the “speedforce bazooka” that Tracy Brand (Anne Dudek) built, inspired by her muse and crush HR (Tom Cavanagh). After a harrowing reenactment of Jaws, they retrieved it and Barry and Snart said goodbye in a bittersweet moment for Captain Cold fans. The team went to Infantino Street to stop Savitar from killing Iris, but it didn’t work. Savitar ran Iris through and Barry held her body in his arms. Vibe (Carlos Valdes) and Killer Frost (Danielle Panabaker) faced off.
The Flash 3.23 “Finish Line” (Season Finale) review: We begin as last week ended, with Barry crying over Iris’s dead body. Oh my god, oh my god. HR sacrificed himself with the transmographer. I knew that would be what they used, but I had no idea he would be the one. We see how it went down, HR sneaking and freeing Iris before they change places. Funny, quirky, HR… he was the best one to take her place because they have infinite Harrys to choose from.
Julian (Tom Felton) has a cure for Caitlin.
Savitar says he will get Cisco and Caitlin, but then he sets a trap that he thinks killed them all (for like a second). The gun is ready. Savitar give the kill order, but Gypsy saves Cisco at the last second – ah… l’amour. She brings him to the very alive rest of the team. Frost points the gun at Savitar and fires. It seems to be working, until it doesn’t. Of course, Cisco wouldn’t fix it for real. Now everyone fights. There’s cold and vibes and speed. Cisco gets the upper hand on Caitlin, but hands her the cure and says it’s her choice. Savitar goes to kill Cisco and Caitlin saves him. Barry and Savitar go at it, but Barry destroys the suit and punches him out.
As he walks to his friends, Savitar goes for a kill shot, except Iris saves Barry by shooting Savitar, and he fades away.
They gather around HR’s grave. Iris: “He was my hero.” It is so sad for them all. HR was so great… I’m upset.
Frost hides by the tree. They all walk over. She gives the cure back and says she’s not Caitlin or Killer Frost, but needs to figure out who she is.
Barry and Iris are happy at home, making wedding plans. So of course there are earthquakes and lightning storms destroying the city. The speed force is doing it. They gather by a wormhole, and a familiar face walks out of it.
Joe: “Barry. It’s your mother.” This made me laugh, despite what I knew it meant. The speed force comes to take him away, but it promises it won’t be hell for Barry.
And Barry Allen is gone, hand in hand with his fake mom.
Wow. Just wow. I usually write my reviews as I watch the shows. I had about 3 words written after the hour was over – just mouth open, round eyes, aghast. This was a fantastic filled to bursting finale, with so much emotion. I was ecstatic and devastated within the same 10 minutes, quite a few times. The writers deserve a raise. This was a great ending to a great season.
– Can we all just applaud Tom Felton and Danielle Panabaker this season? Felton completely (almost completely) made me stop seeing him as Draco Malfoy, a feat since I constantly rewatch Harry Potter. I LOVE him as Julian and he is an incredible addition to the team. And Panabaker as Killer Frost is magnificent.
– My husband said right before the end, “How can they ruin this happy ending in the last minute? Yep.
– Two-Face – good one Cisco. How will I last without my Cisco-isms until October?
– Personal request: Let the team have one full episode of happiness please. That is a challenge for a writer – make an interesting show full of happiness.
– I am surprised that Jay didn’t step up again.
– How will they get Barry out of the speed force? | 2019-04-26T00:12:09 | https://www.geeksofdoom.com/2017/05/23/tv-review-the-flash-3-23-finish-line |

The proposed modernization plan is to renovate and expand the existing building while minimizing the risk associated with a major earthquake. The recommended seismic strengthening will include foundation improvements, new steel braced moment frames, new concrete or concrete block walls, plywood sheathing and anchors at both high and low roofs, and exterior wall glass replacement. The seismic strengthening work scope directly triggers disabled access, code upgrades, and environmental hazard mitigation work.
The building has two separate roof levels. A high sloping roof over the main reading room consists of metal beams spanning between steel girders supported by steel columns. Two high symmetrically placed concrete walls flank the reading room at each entrance. A lower roof covering all administrative areas and restrooms is constructed of plywood sheathing over wood joists supported by reinforced concrete block walls. The building envelope consists of floor to roof glass walls, masonry walls and masonry piers.
The new construction or alteration will meet State (Title 24) and Federal (Americans with Disabilities Act) guidelines. The disabled access scope will address path of travel issues as well as health and safety improvements. Existing restrooms will be reconfigured and new restrooms will be added. In addition, service counters and online catalog terminals will be made accessible.
The anticipated building code impacts involve updating the building to comply with current life safety related code requirements for exiting, heating, ventilation, plumbing, electrical, lighting and other control systems. The heating system will be evaluated for possible replacement or expansion.
Current law requires removal of asbestos-containing materials (ACM's) such as plasterboard walls, vinyl flooring, and roofing impacted by the seismic retrofit, disabled access, and modernization work. The removal of ACM's will require relocation of the building occupants to avoid potential health risks. The asbestos mitigation project will be done in advance of major construction work. In addition, lead that is impacted will also be removed during this time.
Modernization improvements include a building expansion to increase staff work area, increase the size of teen/children’s area, collections, add a multi-purpose program rooms, and increase storage space. Other scope includes new lighting, new flooring, additional electrical/data outlets, refurbished work and public areas, reconfiguring all service points, and replacing or reconfiguring the windows.
The high and low roofs act independent of each other and may collide during a major seismic event.
The high columns and steel roof beams are not braced to resist major lateral forces.
The connections between the concrete entry walls and the steel roof frame need to be strengthened.
There are no shear walls to resist lateral forces acting in either direction along the perimeter wall.
Glass block in-fill walls between the high and low roofs could become potential falling hazards during a major seismic event.
Floor to roof high glazing along exterior wall could potentially become falling hazards during a major seismic event.
Strengthen connection between the roof framing system and the unsupported columns and concrete walls.
Strengthen the span from column to column by adding steel bracing or moment frames.
Provide seismic joints between the high and low roofs to minimize pounding effect.
Provide in-fill walls as necessary to provide structural continuity along exterior wall.
Remove glass block and replace with tempered or other type of safety glass.
Remove high glass along perimeter and re-design fenestration to minimize falling hazards.
The exterior and interior doors are either too narrow or do not have accessible hardware.
Site access lacks a clear accessible path of travel and accessible parking.
Steps leading to the rear entry lack an access ramp.
Service counters and work areas are not accessible.
Restrooms and other public amenities are not accessible.
Define a clear path of travel to include accessible parking, ramps, and signs for wheelchair users.
Replace all service counters and other amenities with accessible construction.
Replace and relocate existing restrooms with accessible restrooms.
Make service counters and work areas accessible.
Make all entries, exits, and doors accessible throughout.

Data/Communications are inadequate to provide for flexible layout.
Lighting is outdated and in need of replacement.
Replace and relocate telephone panel to be independent from Rec./Park’s phone service.
Replace and relocate electrical panel to be independent from Rec./Park’s electrical service.
Add data/communications distribution system and provide outlets to allow for flexible layout.
There are not enough emergency lights.
Exit signs need to be upgraded and connected to emergency power source.
The building does not have a central fire alarm system.
There are not enough fire extinguishers.
Smoke detectors are in need of replacement.
The building lacks security grilles appropriate for its use.
There is not enough security lighting.
Add emergency lights and refurbish existing lights.
Add emergency exit signs and refurbish existing signs.
Add central fire alarm system.

Add interior and exterior security lighting as required.
Where impacted by construction, abate asbestos in the wall and ceiling sheetrock joint compound, vinyl floor tiles and mastics, ceramic tile grout and mastic, window glazing putty, baseboard putty, and heating hot water piping and fitting insulation.
Abate asbestos if found in built up roof and flashing, boiler insulation, fire door core insulation, glued on ceiling tile, terrazzo flooring, and transite piping.
The entire design of the branch needs to be rethought to come up with a flexible layout to serve the modern needs of the library.
Most of the floor, wall, and ceiling finishes are outdated and in need of refurbishment.
Children’s area needs to be expanded.
The library is in need of a multi-purpose room for library program space.
The library is in need of study rooms to allow for quiet study.
Expand the building and reconfigure architectural layout to include a larger children’s area, study rooms, and a multi-purpose program room.
Separate Rec/Park structure/roof and roof drainage (add fire wall if required).
The existing landscape is in need of refurbishment.
Existing landscaping does not give the Library the visibility it needs in the neighborhood.
Refurbish and modify existing landscape to make the library building more visible form the street. | 2019-04-18T16:53:49 | https://sfpl.org/index.php?pg=2000099103 |
The garage is a great space to use in ways it was never intended. Whether you've got one car in a two car garage or happen to live in one of those rust-free Southwestern climates where parking outside is always an option, consider finding a new use for your garage.
Cars take up a lot of room, so if you've managed to move those out of your garage - or perhaps just one out of a two car garage - consider taking that space and converting it into something brand new, like an art or music studio.
We all have hobbies, but rarely do we have a particular space to devote to them. Perhaps you're a burgeoning novelist in search of a writing space, somewhere to put your bookshelves and piles of inspiration. Perhaps you're a ceramist with a throwing wheel but nowhere to keep it. Have you always wanted to put a band together with a few of your guy pals or girl friends? From the retiree to the new homeowner, everyone needs a room of one's own to pursue that special drive.
If you're going to turn your garage into a brand new creative outlet, consider some of this design and decor advice along the way.
1. Keep it bright. This is a must for any visual artist, but even for the poet who works best by candlelight, have the option to flush your space with sun during daytime hours. Windows bring in natural light, which is great for the brain and general creativity. And don't forget that garage door if you're looking for a little fresh air as well.
2. Have a variety of seating. Hard bottom wood chairs to keep you attentive, stools to force you to balance, armchairs for reading and a comfortable long couch for day dreams and naps. All of these are essential for creative energy.
3. Soundproof. If you're a musician, you won't mind your neighbors knowing, just make sure they don't find out by intruding on their own quiet pursuits with the blast of speakers and bass.
4. Keep it welcoming and clean. Sure, it may be your space, but staying organized is good for art. So is creating a comfortable environment. Consider installing radiant floor heating for fall and winter, especially if your garage isn't attached to your home's central heating system. | 2019-04-22T21:01:39 | https://www.warmlyyours.com/en-US/posts/Turning-Your-Garage-Into-An-Art-Or-Music-Studio-420 |
Together with Coche and Cubagua Islands, Margarita Island is part of the insular state Nueva Esparta, located 38 Km to the North of Venezuela -Northeastern coast of South America- in the Caribbean Sea, being Margarita the largest of them (1.071 Km2), which has earned the name of "the Pearl of the Caribbean" with its 93 Km. of paradisiac beaches. Reaching Margarita Island is easy, because a large number of Venezuelan airlines fly to the Santiago Mariño International Airport (Porlamar), in addition to some Charter flights from Colombia, Argentina, Brazil and Trinidad & Tobago among others.
However, the majority of commercial international flights that fly to Venezuela arrive at the Simon Bolivar international airport in Maiquetia (Caracas), from where a national flight to Isla de Margarita can be taken (about 40 minutes of duration), and once there it is also possible to make connections to other first class tourist destinations in Venezuela. In addition, there are international cruises that travel to Caribbean islands with routes that include visits to this beautiful island, disembarking in the Guamache port.
Among the main attractions to visit in Margarita are the “Laguna de La Restinga” National Park which is located on the way to the Macanao Peninsula (Western portion of the island), that offers a 10 Km beach and tours between fabulous mazes of mangrove swamps (leafy aquatic vegetation), restaurants, fishing and harvesting of molluscs activities. Among the most visited beaches by local and international tourists is Playa El Agua in Antolín del Campo Municipality, which has a large amount of hotels and inns, as well as a variety of restaurants, and the possibility of practicing water sports such as surfing and bodyboarding.
Another preferred beach by international tourists is Playa El Yaque, in which national and international windsurfing and kitesurfing tournaments are continuously held, thanks to its privileged winds, and its numerous hotels, inns and restaurants operated by bilingual staff. Undoubtedly, Coche Island (55 Km2), is another destination of great interest for tourists, there they can visit La Punta Beach, ideal for rest and sharing with the family, and have the possibility to eat and stay at various Inns and restaurants that the island has, as well as diving and practicing various water sports in its crystalline waters.
Cubagua, the smallest island of Nueva Esparta State (24 Km2) kept the historical traces of what was the first city founded by the Spanish colonists in South America. Already in 1498 Margarita Island was sighted by Christopher Columbus on his third expedition to the "new world", and he named it after Princess Margarita of Austria. However, more than two decades later, in 1521, "Nueva Cádiz de Cubagua” was founded in 1521, from which the exploitation and export of pearls (extracted by the aboriginal Guaiqueri people) towards Europe was carried. Despite its brief existence, in just two decades, it gained an important political role for the Spanish colonists, and still, the ruins of its stone-made streets and houses can be seen in it. | 2019-04-19T06:27:54 | http://www.islamargaritarealhotel.com/villas.php |
A mother in Indiana is hoping to catch the attention of parents, with a message about the importance of cleaning infant change stations in public areas and rest stops. Jessica Wayman posted on her Facebook page a picture of a changing table, where one can see black marks on it. According to the 24-year-old Indiana mother, these marks aren’t just from dirt, rather spoons.
The mother says the marks are made from burnt spoons that drug addicts use while they shoot up. The marks could be residue from meth or heroin and other harmful bodily fluids such as Fentanyl. How does the mother know? Wayman shared one of the reasons that she decided to warn parents — it is because she experienced it firsthand. The mother is a former addict and said it was common for burn marks to appear in changing areas nationwide. The residue from the spoons can seriously injure a child and unsuspecting parents.
Wayman’s post has been shared more than 115,000 times with many parents commenting they had no idea of the marks, assuming they were left from overuse. In 2016, CDC stated there were 63,632 drug overdose deaths in the United States with fentanyl encoding increasingly on the rise. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid pain relief that is between 50 and 100 times more potent than morphine. Experts stated the drugs are being sold through illegal drug markets for its heroin-like effect, mixed with cocaine and heroin. Simply coming into contact with the traces of substance could prove life-threatening. | 2019-04-23T01:56:05 | https://rare.us/rare-news/across-the-u-s-a/mom-warns-of-scuff-marks-of-changing-tables-linked-to-drug-residue/ |
The NSA spied on Israel despite a US pledge to curtail surveillance of ally states, revealing how the Israelis lobbied US lawmakers to reject the Iranian nuclear deal. The snooping also reportedly eavesdropped on some members of Congress’ private talks.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the spying has been ongoing during President Barack Obama’s two terms and continued unabated even after Edward Snowden’s surveillance revelations in 2013. Following the scandal, the Obama administration composed a so-called protected list, shielding close allies from surveillance, including countries such as Germany or France.
However, despite close ties, Israel was not included and was, instead, made the NSA’s top surveillance priority, along with Turkey.
“Going dark on Bibi? Of course we wouldn’t do that,” a senior US official told the Journal, using Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu’s nickname.
President Obama approved of spying on his Israeli counterpart because it served a “compelling national security purpose,” current and former US officials told the WSJ. The new report is based on more than two-dozen interviews with both intelligence and administration officials.
As a part of the surveillance, the NSA eavesdropped on communications between Israeli and US lawmakers amid efforts to reach a nuclear deal with Iran. Specifically, the efforts of the Netanyahu government to turn legislators against the negotiations and convince them to block the emerging agreement were revealed, the article said.
It was also discovered that Netanyahu and his advisers leaked details they had learned of though Israeli intelligence concerning the US-Iran negotiations, and coordinated talks with Jewish-American groups against the deal and tried to influence votes of undecided US lawmakers.
The US managed to capture communications between Netanyahu and his aides, which led to mistrust between Washington and Tel Aviv and created a politically sticky situation when the Israeli leader spoke to Congress in an attempt to push through his anti-Iran message.
The White House believed that the intercepted information could be worthwhile in countering Netanyahu’s efforts. Yet, the WSJ reports, it was clear that asking for it directly would be “politically risky.” To avoid “a paper trail stemming out from a request,” the White House left it to the NSA to decide what information should be either shared or withheld.
However, this is when the NSA realized it was also sweeping up some conversations the Israelis were having with US lawmakers and American-Jewish groups.
“That raised fears—an ‘Oh-s— moment,’ one senior US official said—that the executive branch would be accused of spying on Congress,” the WSJ writes.
The White House did not ask the NSA to identify any of the lawmakers caught in the surveillance.
“From what I can tell, we haven’t had a problem with how incidental collection has been handled concerning lawmakers,” Representative Adam Schiff, a California Democrat and the ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, told the WSJ.
When reached for comment, government officials representing Israel, Germany, and France declined to speak to the Journal, as did the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the NSA. | 2019-04-24T04:31:59 | https://www.rt.com/usa/327405-nsa-surveillance-israel-iran-congress/ |

One way to make your home sale ready is to replace worn and tired carpeting! Here are some popular flooring options to choose from that will give your house a fresh, new look.
Carpeting is the go-to choice when it comes to the least expensive flooring option, and has the added benefit of being the best solution to covering up imperfections.
A textured saxony, for example, is a lower-priced option that never goes out of style. If you’re considering carpeting that appeals to individualized tastes, take a long look at the long-pile frieze popularized by Austin Powers or check out carpeting with a design, such as a cut-and-loop style.
As the affordable alternative to natural stone, tile flooring is ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and just about anywhere else where water comes in to play. Tile is also better suited for high traffic areas that experience lots of wear and tear such as a recreation room. Take good care of it and the tiling will last for years.
This year, popular tiling styles feature large wood-look planks, marble- and concrete-look flooring, and for that eye-catching appeal – metallic tile.
Hardwood comes in a variety of colors and patterns to suit just about any home!
Red oak remains popular and Hickory is a wise choice if you’re looking for that rustic look and flooring that’s more durable than others. For smaller spaces, wider- and longer-planked flooring creates the illusion of a larger room. And, for more of an eclectic feel, install random plank flooring in different sizes and varying lengths of boards in focal points of the house, such as the living and dining rooms.
Like true love, stone flooring lasts forever. By far the most expensive material, this flooring is maintenance-free and ideal for areas of your house that transition from indoors to outdoors. If you live in a warmer climate, stone tiling is a great pick because of its natural ability to stay cool to the touch.
So, head to your closest home improvement store, find a flooring to your liking and transform your home within hours. | 2019-04-20T16:55:54 | https://utahhome.me/2018/08/start-ground-replacing-carpet-home/ |

Learn how to draw a cute cartoon dolphin and then play with colors until you finally learn how to end up with a cool 3d dolphin! This amazing animal is quite interesting to illustrate. Made mostly from curved lines and circles, drawing all shapes accurately can be tricky sometimes.
In this tutorial, I will show you how to sketch a beautiful dolphin filled with bright blue colors. Then, you will have the opportunity to see a few variations using different colors. Finally, I will convert this simple 2D image into a beautiful 3d dolphin using only simple effects.
Before proceeding with this lesson, let's take a deeper look at this cool cartoon character using the image above.
The tip of the nose is round and slightly flat.
The eye is round, just like the pupil.
You can use a long curved line to form the head.
The back fin is large and sharp.
Don't forget to use a bright blue color!
A lighter patch is visible on the chest of the animal.
The tail is drawn using complex lines.
Both front fins are smaller and pointed.
step 1 - create a basic template!
Let's draw a few basic shapes to start with. The head is made from a large circle while the mouth is done using an oval shape. The body is represented by two irregular rectangles while the tail is created using small oval shapes.
step 5 - time for some colors!
The whole illustration is filled with different tones of blue colors. Only plain colors are used for now. We will use gradient colors for the 3D dolphin only. Make sure that the patch is brighter, but the back fin and the one located behind the animal must be darker.
Here you go! a cute cartoon dolphin!
These are all five simple steps needed to create the dolphin. Simply pay attention to the mouth and the tail (which are the toughest elements to sketch) and you will be fine. Ready to draw that 3D dolphin? Let's play with colors first!
Dolphin are not really blue, but rather filled with a light grey color. The version below is closer to reality even if this is just a cartoon illustration. It's cool, but the blue version is definitely more enjoyable to look at!
Cyan is ok, but not recommended!
Another interesting version colored in cyan. This cartoon dolphin is also visually appealing, but somehow the illustration feels a little bit childish.
A brighter version of the original color!
This other alternative is also interesting. Colors are brighter and the patch is simply colored in white. The first version is still my favorite, but this other character is also worth trying.
In this other example, colors are dark and saturated. Even the patch found on the chest is darker. It's definitely another appealing version if you like plain colors that are rich and hard to miss!
This color is perfect! Not too dark, not too bright, not too grey and not too blue. It's not as close to reality as the grey version was, but it's close enough! Let's take this illustration and turn our animal into a cool 3D dolphin using simple effects.
How can you turn a simple 2D character into a nice 3D dolphin? Simply use gradient colors inside each part of the illustration. You can also add reflection (the brighter areas) on top of the head, on top of the tail and on top of all three fins. A small shadow was also added below the eye. | 2019-04-21T00:31:19 | https://www.how-to-draw-funny-cartoons.com/3d-dolphin.html |
Gyula Acsadi is an expert in three of the world’s most expensive rare illnesses to treat: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and Pompe disease.
Acsadi, head of neurology and rehabilitation at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in Hartford, said he’s convinced that new therapies for these inherited neuromuscular disorders are already paying off.
Acsadi, speaking Feb. 28 at Connecticut Rare Disease Day in Hartford, was referring to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s September 2016 approval of Exondys 51 (eteplirsen) to treat the 13 percent of DMD children who have a confirmed mutation of the dystrophin gene amenable to exon 51 skipping, and the agency’s December 2016 approval of the injectable therapy Spinraza (nusinersen) for SMA.
While Exondys 51’s manufacturer, Sarepta Therapeutics, says the treatment costs $300,000 per year per child — based on a child’s weight — the actual price can be much higher, rising to an average of $750,000 each, according to an independent analysis cited by The New York Times.
Likewise, Biogen’s Spinraza costs $750,000 for the first year of treatment, falling to $375,000 in subsequent years for the rest of a patient’s life. And an enzyme replacement therapy for Pompe, which President Donald Trump specifically praised in his Feb. 28 State of the Union address, costs $300,000 a year.
Among the SMA children Acsadi treats are a brother and sister, both of whom have SMA type 2. He said that before going on Spinraza, the boy, 7, “was in and out of hospitals,” but since then, he has not been hospitalized even once.
Connecticut is home to 40 to 70 SMA patients, says Dr. Gyula Acsadi.
By coincidence, Acsadi’s presentation came the day before Minnesota’s Department of Health formally began universal screening of all newborn babies for SMA — the leading genetic cause of early childhood death in the United States. Minnesota, home to the Mayo Clinic, already has one of the nation’s most comprehensive newborn screening programs.
With the March 1 addition of SMA, Minnesota now screens for 61 conditions — including all those on the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services’ recommended uniform screening panel. That makes Minnesota only the second state in the nation, after Missouri, to screen newborns for SMA. Missouri began its own SMA screening program in July 2017.
Acsadi and other advocates at the Hartford event urged Connecticut lawmakers to approve a similar program.
Acsadi, a native of Hungary, has a PhD from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest. He’s been researching gene therapy for both SMA and Duchenne for several decades. Before coming to Connecticut, he did residencies and research fellowships at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan, the University of Wisconsin in Madison, and the Montreal Neurological Institute at McGill University.
He’s also a member of the Scientific Review Committee of the Child Neurology Society, a fellow of the American Academy of Neurology, and a member of the International Child Neurology Association. In addition, Acsadi serves on the editorial board of Pediatric Neurology.
Acsadi’s Farmington clinic is part of the MDA Care Center, a program sponsored by the Muscular Dystrophy Association and Connecticut Children’s Medical Center.

Justin’s Gift, a nonprofit in the Anoka-Hennepin School District area dedicated to youth and anti-bullying, will screen the documentary Same Difference at an event on July 17.
Same Difference is a documentary project “that shows the difference between learning in a supportive school climate versus an oppressive school climate” by tracing the paths of two gay teens, one of which is Justin Aaberg, a student in the Anoka-Hennepin School District who took his own life in 2010.
The other, Graeme Taylor, came out in high school and found acceptance in a supportive school district.
Same Difference will screen twice on July 17 at the First Congregational UCC of Anoka, with a viewing at 6:30pm and another at 9:30pm. Each screening will be followed by a panel discussion. The panelists will include Tammy and Shawn Aaberg, the parents of Justin Aaberg; Katie MacDonald, a close friend of Justin Aaberg; Jefferson Fietek, a teacher who spoke out publicly against own school district’s policies after losing a student to suicide; and Kyrstin Schuette, a former student who was plaintiff in a lawsuit against Anoka-Hennepin.
Tammy Aaberg told The Column that the important thing about screening a film like Same Difference is that people will understand the difference a respectful climate for LGBT youth can make in a school.
She hopes it will help residents pay more attention to who sits on local school boards such as Anoka-Hennepin, and spurs support for bills like Sen. Al Franken’s Student Nondiscrimination Act. | 2019-04-18T18:50:38 | http://thecolu.mn/19978/justins-gift-to-screen-same-difference-an-anti-bullying-documentary |
ESA was selected to perform the full abatement of a 25,000 square feet vertical wall with asbestos containing coating and complete demolition of the exterior plaster wall. A challenging component to this project was the necessity of the repair shop to remain occupied and fully operational during all asbestos abatement and demolition. To respond to this requirement, ESA erected a 45 foot temporary enclosure along the interior of the building which allowed for segregation of the work area during abatement and demolition activities. ESA was able to remove all asbestos coatings in an open air atmosphere utilizing our high-pressure spin-jet and vac-system, and achieved all asbestos abatement with zero emissions. Once abatement was complete, ESA proceeded with demolition operations as a clean demolition atmosphere. At the conclusion of demolition, a new permanent exterior wall was constructed and ESA removed the temporary enclosure. | 2019-04-22T09:00:36 | http://www.esasite.com/project/rail-yard-car-repair-shop/ |
Our nascent inventory of feminist thinkers and the ideas they pushed (and are pushing!) forth.
Roxane Gay is a contemporary author whose work recognizes how, in some ways, we're all "bad feminists."
Audre Lorde was a writer and activist whose feminism pushed back against society's tendency for categorization.
Gloria Anzaldúa was a scholar focusing on Chicana cultural theory, feminist theory, and queer theory.
One of the most accessible feminist thinkers and writers, bell hooks defines feminism as the movement to end sexist oppression.
A tribute to Devaki Jain, the brilliant feminist economist who will help you re-conceive your business.
Gloria Steinem went into debt in the 1960s in order to get publicity for a farmworkers’ march. What do we make of that?
How do you pay the bills and write full-time?
Pat Parker's 1985 letters to Audre Lorde show that she was worried about money, her career path, and even time management, just like all of us. Here’s how she dealt.
Why do so many scientific studies highlight gender differences?
How biased experiments exaggerate gender differences -- especially when it comes to the brain.
What I learned seeing Chimamanda live at the New Yorker festival.
The year 1930 changed everything.
What is Margaret Atwood's perspective on feminism?
It might surprise you to learn that Atwood is only lukewarm on calling her novel "feminist."
What is polite racism, and how do we stop it?
Sara Ahmed on how to identify and prevent instances of "polite" racism.
It starts with getting of our familiar beliefs: about police violence, about objectivity in the legal system, and about race in general.
The forces within us -- judgment, insecurity, jealousy -- can damage female friendships as much as the time constraints of busy careers and romantic partnerships.

The chief proponent of the dam is Premier Li Peng. Mid-1990 reports from China indicated that he had resurrected the scheme after it had been officially shelved for financial reasons. The dam will be 200 metres high, flood 1.2 million people off their land and cost the country an estimated $12 billion.
China is expected to seek foreign financing for the project, which will cost the equivalent of one-fifth of the national budget.
In 1985, the Japanese government pledged to help finance the dam. Currently, the Japanese Ministry of Construction, along with private construction and electrical companies, is expressing interest in getting involved in the project. Chief among the other sources expected to be approached is the World Bank.
In Japan and North America, environmentalists and human rights activists are trying to discourage their governments from backing the project. Friends of the Earth Japan has vowed to stop Japanese funding for Three Gorges.
In Canada, where a $14 million Canadian government-funded feasibility study recommended that the Three Gorges Dam go ahead, the Toronto-based Probe International has filed formal complaints of professional negligence and misconduct with professional engineering associations.
Nine independent experts who reviewed that feasibility study, including Dr Philip Williams, a hydrologist and president of the San Francisco-based International Rivers Network, have publicly condemned the study. "The consequences of failure at the Three Gorges Dam would rank as one of history's worst man-made disasters. Tragically, the Canadian engineering consultants did not address the safety issue either systematically or coherently", Williams said.
Critics claim the dam will prove to be an economic boondoggle, a technical failure and a devastating exercise in social engineering. | 2019-04-24T12:25:44 | https://www.greenleft.org.au/content/china-approves-worlds-largest-dam |
Bring your dancing shoes to Art Walk Nashua this weekend, a pair suitable for tango. Art demonstrations aren’t the only kind of performance at this open studios tour.
Members of the Argentine Tango Association of New Hampshire will dance at Chimera Gallery in the Millyard for the Saturday event, 1 to 7 p.m. There will be demonstrations on the hour, with an opportunity for guests to take the floor as well. Chimera will also be showing a few of ATANH member and graphic artist Cameron Bennett’s tango-inspired images, a preview of the “Magnificent Obsessions” exhibit. Also Saturday, Chimera closes Art Ferrier and Keith Spiro’s OCANADArt photography exhibit, which had been extended by popular demand and is now headed to shows in the French-Canadian- influenced cities Lewiston, Maine, and Woonsocket, R.I.
Many of the 14 or so venues involved in this Art Walk (the second of four this year) pull in live music, such as the Hunt Building, which will have a full schedule of folk performers, and the Nashua Public Library, which will host a pianist.
New England Woodturners Group, sculptor James Chase, sculptor and potter Leah Chulak, and jewelry designers Amanda White, Kendra Robin and Kate Matthews will demonstrate their work at Bilancia Gallery and Framing, 85 West Pearl St., to a live soundtrack by guitarist Charlie Christos. Merrimack’s Paula Super will demonstrate oil painting at the library.
Of course, there’s food to be had at many Art Walk stops. Grab a “passport” from the library or another participant, which you can enter into a raffle for local artwork.
Art Walk is a relatively new tradition started by Great American Downtown and the local arts community in the fall of 2005. You do have to walk to these events – unlike Open Doors in Manchester.
Open Doors, from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, June 15, in downtown Manchester, offers three trolleys circulating throughout the city to ten stops where admission is free, as is the trolley ride as well as parking. Often you can find free refreshments and meet the artists for the gallery openings involved. Local museums like the Currier and SEE Science Center are also on the route.
The next two Art Walks are Sept. 16 and Nov. 25. Open Doors returns Sept. 28 and Nov. 16.

We had pointed Lake Superior out to Alyse and Miah from a distance, from high up on a bluff looking down on the blue waters while eating a picnic lunch. Recently we introduced them up close and personal. The strong wind that day created white caps. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore made hearing the speech of the person next to you difficult. The girls seized the joy of the moment and began jumping waves with abandonment.
Is the power of vitality ours when we choose to live in the here and now – when we engage fully in each day’s offerings with gratitude and enthusiasm?
Father God, enable me, like my granddaughters, to seize the joy of each day with full abandonment.

Dr Dharminder Nagar, MD, Paras Healthcare talks about the need for preventive care for all.
The financial budget included the announcement of a healthcare initiative that is set to provide tertiary care and assistance to a huge population in India. Although through Modicare patients requiring immediate medical interventions would benefit, however there is a huge chunk of population that is said to suffer from ailments that have gradual progression and minimal signs and symptoms. One such growing epidemic which the government is yet to acknowledge and focus on is Mental Illness and patients with progressive neurological degenerative disease such as Dementia. According to recent studies by India today has the second highest population of people suffering from Dementia and managing such a disease one requires much more than just medicines. The patients and their families need care, support and guidance. Degenerative Neurological Ailments – Falling in the Abyss India has about 4.1 million people suffering from Dementia as Alzheimer’s and related Disorders Society of India. The number of elderly is only rising and the number of people suffering from Dementia is expected to go up to 8-9 million by 2035. In India, memory lapse is often attributed to old age which usually masks the onset of this disease. Even the ones who are diagnosed, there is often a social stigma that they are subjected to. Sadly, there is no major change in the attitude of the people towards those suffering from Dementia even after rising education levels and development in other fields.
Sensitization of the public – A must!
People in the country need sensitization towards these mental problems through especially designed campaigns and material through which they can relate, understand, recognize and act to manage the situation. People need to be sensitized on the fact that there is no evil or magic associated with people suffering from any mental illness or neuro-degenerative disorder. We need to give as much care to people suffering from Dementia as possible. People need to be told that even in those individuals who may be suffering from Dementia, there can be remarkable improvements if proper care and a little bit of mind exercises are given to them. The government and some like-minded corporates and NGOs can join hands in making the campaign a reality. The multi-pronged campaign should especially touch the rural hinterland where the social stigma against such conditions is much higher and such mental states are often associated with imaginary paranormal phenomena.
Similar is the case with people who are mentally challenged. According to recent reports at present in India, there are about two crore people who are mentally challenged and about a tenth of that are children. Sadly, people still associate mental challenges with some kind of sickness and try to stay away from such patients. They need to be told it is no sickness and again we need a methodical exercise to bring about a change in their attitudes. This isolation actually affects the patients adversely and further complicates their lives. While the government does take note of the mentally challenged population, particularly the children, there are issues of capacity. It has set up about 100 institutions for about two crore mentally challenged people. The special schools or homes of mentally challenged children have excess number of kids. The children are not kept according to their mental age or development and are taught together. There a need to build capacities for such children and many individuals and Corporates are willing to do something for them. Need of the hour is to look at synergies between government and private entities and bring about the change that we want to see in the society.
A lot of social stigma is also attached to children with Autism. Today there are more than one crore children in India suffering from it. We need a double pronged approach to handle the situation – ways to diagnose the ailment early and methods to sensitise their environment so that the society is more receptive to them. This neurological disorder is on the rise but sadly there is no change in people attitudes towards them. Worst, even doctors ignore signs of Autism in children and think it is schizophrenia or mental challenges. The medical fraternity, including ourselves, is to be blamed for this. We need proper education in medical schools and even better familiarization in clinics and hospitals. Together we have to fight against the odds that exist for Autism. Situation is no different for people suffering from cerebral palsy (CP). With slightly different actions and postures, people suffering from CP are often understood to be to suffering from some unexplained paranormal phenomena and are thus avoided. We need large scale sensitization for the people at large towards such people. The society has to be lot more caring towards them.
One good news is that the information technology has really permeated into all the stratum of the society and so has social media. The government can exploit the situation to reach out to masses and educate them to be caring towards the needy and those suffering from mental conditions. We need sweeping changes in the mindset of the people and many High Networth Individuals (HNIs) and corporate India is more than willing in joining hands with the government to effect that change.
Today formulation of a simple support group can help people share their experiences, survivor stories and challenges. Each patient can impact the life of another and be a source of inspiration. National Mascots for Diseases – It is essential that few patients battling neurodegenerative diseases and mental disease stand tall and be recognized for reaching out and consulting specialists. It is important that these patients are recognized so that social stigma associated with the issue can be handled. Special consideration – Special laws need to be formulated so that the patients with such conditions can be accommodated in the in the main stream. The government can tie up with special private organizations to support these patients and provide them professional guidance.
India needs to develop social services teams. This is a essential requirement that can ensure that the organizations are aware of the ground realities. The mass sensitization programs and awareness drives can all be structured through the same teams. There can be numerous ways to set the ball rolling, however we need the cumulative force of the medical, educational and the government machinery to recognize the stated issue with national importance and develop working goals to manage the same. | 2019-04-25T06:29:03 | http://www.welthi.com/moving-beyond-modicare-ensuring-care-for-all/ |

In being detected with the Big C, Tahira found herself part of the 2.4 percent of the population that is diagnosed before age 35. They found themselves facing two options — believe they had been dealt a rough hand, or fight it with positivity.
"We had to maintain a happy life state to deal with it. In fact, after we got to know about her condition, we went to see Manmarziyaan that evening. We told ourselves, 'Okay, we've been diagnosed. We can't go home and cry about it. It's better to go for a film.' So, we watched the film, came back and got the date for her operation."
During the week that his wife was hospitalized for her mastectomy, Khurrana would wrap up his work early to be by her side at night. "I went without sleep for seven days. But, we had promised ourselves that we'd maintain a positive attitude. We got to know of cancer early. So, we decided to celebrate the silver lining."
Tahira had spoken about how changes in her breast size had initially raised alarm for the family. "If any symptoms come up, think of it as a protective force and get yourselves examined," she had shared in a heartfelt note, on Instagram.
Meanwhile, set to essay a blind pianist in AndhaDhun, Khurrana says he turns to his wife when he is unsure about a script. "The primary factor that makes me give [a nod] to a film is if it's entertaining. That married with a one-liner that can describe the story, completes it."
While the actor is also very good in singing, he also dreams of writing a script. We all know that Ayushmann is a fond of reading books and it's not a hidden fact that his poetry is somewhere inspired by these books. The actor admits that he too wants to write a script but acknowledges that writing is a full-time job.
“I write couplets on Twitter and maybe I will compile them into a book someday. That’s a plan for sure. I also plan to write a script but for that I’ll need to take a break. Right now, my focus is on my acting and music assignments,” he asserts. | 2019-04-22T05:57:59 | https://www.gabruu.com/this-is-what-ayushmann-khurrana-has-to-say-about-his-wife |
Fans of Lebanese superstar Elissa were left in shock when the award-winning artist released the video clip for her new song, “Ila Kol Elli Bihebbouni” (For All Those Who Love Me) on YouTube, which revealed she has been secretly battling breast cancer. The seven-minute video showcases real life radiotherapy sessions and features a voiceover of Elissa speaking about her battle and how she tried to keep her illness a secret from her fans, not letting her treatment affect her busy work schedule.
The video, which was directed by Angie Jammal, includes footage from Elissa’s Dubai concert in February, where she collapsed during the performance and had to be carried offstage. At the time, the singer told her fans it was nothing serious.
Although the video was only released yesterday, it has already been viewed almost three million times and has over 12,000 comments from fans sending their well wishes. | 2019-04-20T06:47:39 | https://mojeh.com/lifestyle/lebanese-singer-elissa-reveals-her-secret-battle-with-breast-cancer/ |
Hyperthermia is one of the many clinical protocols used as coadjuvant therapy for cancer treatment. It has demonstrated a clear synergistic effect when combined with radiotherapy, as well as enhancing effects with numerous cytotoxic drugs.
Magnetic Hyperthermia uses a combination of alternating magnetic fields (AMF) and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as heating agents. The goal of this approach is to heat specifically and exclusively the local tumor region by means of the magnetic losses of magnetic nanoparticles in an external, alternating magnetic field, doing it without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue.
b) energy loss from mechanical rotation of the particles, acting against viscous forces of the liquid medium (Brown losses).
Both effects add up so the lost energy is converted into HEAT.
There are many techniques for hyperthermia involving laser, ionizing radiation, and microwaves as tools to heat up body (malignant) tissues. Although these techniques are capable of rising the intracellular temperature up to the cellular death, they may have unwanted collateral effects such as ionization of genetic material (radiation) or lack of selectiveness (microwaves) that affect the surrounding healthy tissues.
A different approach, developed mostly along the last decade, is the selective thermo-cytolysis based on the process of magnetic losses. This strategy, called magneto-thermo-cytolysis or magneto-thermoablation, is a promising technique thanks to the development of precise methods for synthesizing functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (FMNPs).
Magnetic nanoparticles with functionalized surfaces (to attach with high specificity to a given tissue) are used for hyperthermia treatments seeking their accumulation only in tumor tissue. Depending on the success in solving this biochemical and physiological challenge, cancer-specific hyperthermia protocols could be developed.
In 2010, magnetic hyperthermia trials based in the use of MNPs have passed preclinical stages and received regulatory approval as a new clinical therapy named thermotherapy. | 2019-04-22T08:35:03 | http://www.nbnanoscale.com/magnetic-hyperthermia/ |

Cosmetics and personal care is big business, and manufacturers of products in this industry shouldn’t take their packaging lightly. Caution must always be exercised since so many of the products contain aggressive ingredients that are chemically reactive, such as acids and peroxides. Examples of these products include shampoos, sunscreens, and anti-aging creams.
Other products, such as toothpaste, may contain special aromatic or flavoring agents that might react with the laminate structure if the packaging isn’t appropriately designed, absorbing the fresh flavors into the packaging.

A STROKE, SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS A CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT (CVA), CEREBROVASCULAR INSULT (CVI), OR BRAIN ATTACK IS THE LOSS OF BRAIN FUNCTION DUE TO A DISTURBANCE IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY TO THE BRAIN. THIS DISTURBANCE IS DUE TO EITHER ISCHEMIA (LACK OF BLOOD FLOW) OR HEMORRHAGE. AS A RESULT, THE AFFECTED AREA OF THE BRAIN CANNOT FUNCTION NORMALLY.
HEMORRHAGIC STROKE: are less common, in this condition blood spills into or around the brain due to weakened blood vessel leak and creates swelling and pressure, damaging cells and tissue in the brain.
ISCHEMIC STROKE: occurs when a blood vessel carrying blood to the brain is blocked by a blood clot. This causes blood not to reach the brain. High blood pressure is the most important risk factor for this type of stroke.
TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK (TIA): It occurs when blood flow to part of the brain stops for a short period of time; it can mimic stroke-like symptoms. These symptoms appear and last less than 24 hours before disappearing. While TIAs generally do not cause permanent brain damage, they are a serious warning sign that a stroke may happen in the future and should not be ignored.
MYTH: Stroke cannot be prevented.
FACT: Up to 80 percent of strokes are preventable.
MYTH: There is no treatment for stroke.
doctor immediately. Treatment may be available.
MYTH: Stroke only affects the elderly.
MYTH: Stroke happens in the heart.
FACT: Stroke is a "brain attack".
MYTH: Stroke recovery only happens for the first few months after a stroke.
MYTH: Strokes are not hereditary.
MYTH: If stroke symptoms go away, you don't have to see a doctor.
called transient ischemic attacks (TIA).
stroke and need to be taken seriously.
Knowing the signs and symptoms of a stroke is the first step to ensure medical help immediately.For each minute a stroke goes untreated and blood flow to the brain continues to be blocked, a person loses about 1.9 million neurons. This could mean that a person's speech, movement, memory, and so much more can be affected. Learn as many stroke symptoms as possible so you can recognize stroke FAST and save a life!
Effective treatment of stroke can prevent long-term disability and save lives.The specific treatments recommended depend on whether a stroke is caused by a blood clot obstructing the flow of blood to the brain (ischemic stroke) or by bleeding in or around the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). Treatment will usually involve taking one or more different medications, although some people may also need surgery.
Emergency treatment with medications. Therapy with clot-busting drugs must start within 3 to 4.5 hours if they're given into the vein and the sooner, the better.
Aspirin: Aspirin is an immediate treatment given in the emergency room to reduce the likelihood of having another stroke. Aspirin prevents blood clots from forming.
Medications delivered directly to the brain. Doctors may insert a long, thin tube (catheter) through an artery in your groin and thread it to your brain, and then release TPA directly into the area where the stroke is occurring.
Minimally invasive mechanical clot removal: Doctors may use a catheter to maneuver a tiny device into your brain to physically break up or grab and remove the clot.
Emergency measures. If you take warfarin (Coumadin) or anti-platelet drugs such as clopidogrel (Plavix) to prevent blood clots, you may be given drugs or transfusions of blood products to counteract these blood thinners' effects.
Most stroke survivors receive treatment in a rehabilitation program.
In addition to the treatments mentioned above, you may also need further short-term treatment to help manage some of the problems that can affect people who have had a stroke.
Strokes are usually diagnosed by carrying out physical tests and studying images of the brain produced during a scan.
A number of tests can then be carried out to help confirm the diagnosis and determine the cause of the stroke.
This may include blood tests to determine your cholesterol and blood sugar levels, checking your pulse for an irregular heartbeat and taking a blood pressure measurement.
TIME: If you observe any of these signs, call your doctor immediately.
Different treatment is required for the different types of stroke, so a rapid diagnosis will make treatment more straightforward.
A CT scan is like an X-ray, but uses multiple images to build up a more detailed, three-dimensional picture of your brain to help your doctor identify any problem areas.
An MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to produce a detailed picture of the inside of your body.
A swallow test is essential for anybody who has had a stroke, as swallowing ability is commonly affected early after a stroke.
Further tests on the heart and blood vessels might be carried out later to confirm what caused your stroke. Some of the tests that may be carried out are described below.
A carotid ultrasound scan can help show if there is any narrowing or blockages in the neck arteries leading to your brain.
In some cases another type of ultrasound scan called an echocardiogram may be carried out to produce images of your heart and check for any problem with it that could be related to your stroke.
The injury to the brain caused by a stroke can lead to widespread and long-lasting problems.
What are the Risk factors for Stroke ?
Previous Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack.
High Blood Pressure: People who have high blood pressure have one and a half times the risk of having a stroke compared to those who consistently have optimal blood pressure of 120/80.
High Cholesterol level: High cholesterol in the arteries can block normal flow to the brain and cause a stroke. Total cholesterol levels under 200 are recommended.
Heart Disease: One of the major circulation problems is atherosclerosis, progressive fatty deposits in the arteries that cause hardening and buildup of cholesterol plaque.
Diabetes Mellitus: People with diabetes are up to four times more likely to have a stroke than people who don't.
ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: Heart condition called atrial fibrillation is a type of irregular heartbeat, more common in people 65 years and older. Atrial fibrillation raises stroke risk because it allows blood to pool in the heart. When blood pools, it tends to form clots which can then be carried to the brain, causing a stroke.
Sickle Cell Disease: The disease causes some red blood cells to form an abnormal sickle shape. A stroke can happen if sickle cells get stuck in a blood vessel and block the flow of blood to the brain.
Unhealthy Diet: Diets high in saturated fats, trans fat, and cholesterol have been linked to stroke and related conditions, such as heart disease. Also, too much salt (sodium) in the diet can raise blood pressure levels.
Physical Inactivity: Not getting enough physical activity can increase the chances of having other risk factors for stroke, including obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Regular physical activity can lower your risk for stroke.
Obesity:is excess body fat. Obesity is linked to higher "bad" cholesterol and triglyceride levels and to lower "good" cholesterol levels. In addition to heart disease, obesity can also lead to high blood pressure and diabetes.
Too Much Alcohol: Drinking too much alcohol can raise blood pressure levels and the risk for stroke. It also increases levels of triglycerides, a form of fat in your blood, which can harden your arteries.
Tobacco use increases the risk for stroke. Cigarette smoking can damage the heart and blood vessels, which increases your risk for stroke. Also, nicotine raises blood pressure, and carbon monoxide reduces the amount of oxygen that your blood can carry. Exposure to other people's secondhand smoke can increase the risk for stroke even for nonsmokers.
Women experience more strokes each year than men, mainly because women live longer than men and stroke occurs more often at older ages.
Family History: Your stroke risk increases if a family member (parent, grandparent, or sibling) has had a stroke or a heart attack at an early age.
Age: After the age of 55, stroke risk doubles for every decade a person is alive.
Age is the single most important risk factor for stroke. The older you are, the more likely you are to have a stroke.
A patient is often overwhelmed by the number of stroke rehab exercises especially after being in the hospital for acute phase and inpatient rehab center.
Below is a list of various types of stroke rehab exercises.
Active Assistive Range of Motion (AAROM) : This type of range of motion occurs when a weak limb is assisted through movement.
Active Assistive Range of Motion (AAROM): This type of range of motion occurs when a weak limb is assisted through movement.
Active Range of Motion (AROM) : This occurs when a person can move a body part on their own without assistance.
Strengthening or Resistance Training Stroke rehab exercises often consist of strengthening activities that involve moving a body part against resistance. This type of exercise will gradually and progressively overload the muscles so that they will get stronger. There are many types of strengthening exercise equipment including bands, dumbbells, tubing, putty, and exercise machines.
Stretching Exercises Muscles often become tight or have tone after a stroke. Stretching on a regular basis can help prevent joint contracture and muscle shortening.
Weight Bearing Exercises: Weight bearing can help reduce excessive tone brought on by a stroke and strengthens weak muscles.
Scapular mobilization exercises: help move or mobilize the scapula in order to maintain or improve shoulder range of motion and prevent pain.
Soft diets for stroke patients. It is important to make it as easy as possible for a stroke patient to eat in order to prevent malnutrition and anorexia.
Regular walking helps improve stroke survivors' physical fitness, mobility and quality of life, according to a new study.
Some stroke survivors struggle with communication, Efforts at language impaired when function has to shift to the right side of the brain, researchers say.
Loss of function of any part of the body can make eating, chewing, and swallowing of food difficult or even impossible in stroke survivors.
A person recovering from STROKE will require close monitoring of their nutritional status in the acute and rehabilitation phase.
If a person's oral intake is poor, then they will need to be supplemented with liquid formulas or to explore food habits and preferences to encourage a person to eat through consistency of food and planning a balanced diet. The speech therapist and dietician will be able to determine the appropriate modified consistency of food (i.e. blended, soft and moist or easy chew) and fluids (i.e. pudding, honey, nectar or thin) of a person Planning a balanced diet is important to allow adequate nutrition for the recovery in a person with TBI. The table below will be a guide to choosing and planning meals from the four major food groups.
Post-hospitalisation, many patients experience poor appetite. To boost your appetite, consume small portions of food about 7-9 snacks/meals throughout the day. Nausea is another common complaint that could be caused due to medications. Take the prescribed medicines on full stomach. Consult your doctor if nausea persists.
1. Include lots of fresh, seasonal, local and if possible organic Fruits and Vegetables in your daily diet.
2. Add plenty of Whole Grains (whole wheat flour, brown rice, whole beans).
3. Choose foods high in Good Fat such as olive oil, peanut oil, fatty fish, walnuts, flaxseeds. If you do not eat fish, talk to your doctor about taking fish supplements.
4. Instead of whole milk, choose low fat or skim milk.
5. Include food sources rich in Magnesium and Potassium to increase heart health.
1. Say NO to all Sugary and Refined foods (cakes, pastries) and do not add any sugar to beverages.
2. Avoid Unhealthy Fats such as Cholesterol, Saturated and Trans Fat. Stay away from egg yolks, cream, butter, ghee, coconut, deep fried items, whole milk, dalda, vanspati.
3. No Carbonated, Caffeinated and Alcoholic beverages.
4. Curb Salt intake, as it can increase blood pressure. Don't add salt while cooking and reduce packaged food consumption.
Talk to you doctor or dietician about any restrictions on fluid or water intake. Do not add SALT or SUGAR while cooking or as seasoning. For cooking, use only Olive Oil. | 2019-04-21T19:13:06 | https://www.medcall.in/care-plan/Cerebrovascular+Stroke+or+Brain+Stroke/263 |

Coca-Cola Amatil has partnered three Australian technology-based start-ups in an effort to improve customer experience and accelerate business growth.
The three start-ups are: Hospitality platform Bellr, which partners brands in promotions and loyalty programme tailoring; Crowdsourcing platform Snooper, with a 35,000-strong Australian community that provides brands with app-collected consumer insights; and efficiency optimisation tool Staybil, which uses both machine learning and mobility to drive organisational improvement.
All three were selected by Coca-Cola Amatil via Xcelerate, the company’s accelerator programme which ran for the first time ever this year.
What this means for the start-ups is a commercial partnership, mentoring, and access to the Coca-Cola Amatil Small Supplier Payment Policy (a new policy ensuring suppliers do not suffer disadvantages due to longer payment terms).
Earlier this year, Coca-Cola Amatil also acquired a minority share in TabSquare, a Singaporean tech start-up that provides artificial intelligence-based smart restaurant solutions. The acquisition was made via Amatil X.
“We were impressed by the solution that TabSquare was promoting. […] They have a strong team, a clear business model and ambitious growth plans, which include expanding from their established Singapore base to the whole of the Asia Pacific region,” Sullivan said via the official press release.
TabSquare claims to offer a ‘full suite of solutions’ for ‘any type’ of restaurant dining. | 2019-04-22T13:08:59 | https://www.foodnavigator-asia.com/Article/2018/11/29/Coca-Cola-s-disruptive-focus-Amatil-partners-with-three-start-ups-in-bid-to-boost-business-growth |
Capture Sedona’s allure on your iPhone like a pro.
In today’s technological world, even professional photographers and artists recognize the iPhone as a useful (and even practical) photographic tool. Here are some tips to make your photos look like they were taken by a pro.
Don’t always place your subject directly in the center. Placing your subject even slightly off center will significantly improve your photos. This is a great way to compose images that are more appealing. Use the rule as an aid to help you discover ideas for your composition. Turn the grid on if it helps.
On a fundamental level, photography is all about capturing light. The better you understand light, the better your photography will become.
Diffused or reflected light softens shadows when shooting portraits.
Don’t backlight your subject unless you’re going for silhouettes.
Shoot during the golden hour when you can (just after sunrise or before sunset, when daylight is softer and warmer).
Use burst mode to take a rapid succession of photos when shooting action shots. This way, you’ll get a clear shot – frozen in time – of that creek water bubbling over those beautiful red rocks of Sedona.
Experiment with a macro lens. My favorite is the olloclip 10 to 15 times macro. I’ll shoot small insects, frost and anything else in the microcosm with it. To capture this bee, I used my 10x macro lens, simply held down burst and moved in and out slowly to get a perfect focus on the bee. Pro tip: don’t try this with the larger bumble bees – they don’t like their picture being taken!
You don’t always need fancy wide-angle lenses or special attachments. Take advantage of the pano feature built into your phone to capture those brilliant scenes.

This article is about the local government area. For the suburb, see Hunters Hill, New South Wales.
The Municipality of Hunter's Hill is a local government area on the Lower North Shore and Northern suburbs of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The municipality was first proclaimed in 1861, which includes the suburbs of Hunters Hill, Woolwich, Huntleys Point, Tarban, Henley and part of Gladesville.
As at the 2016 census, the Municipality had an estimated population of 13,199. At 5.7 square kilometres (2.2 sq mi), the Municipality is, by area, the smallest local government area in New South Wales and its boundaries remain mostly unaltered since its proclamation in 1861. A 2015 review of local government boundaries by the NSW Government Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal recommended that the Municipality of Hunter's Hill merge with adjoining councils. The government proposed a merger of the Hunter's Hill, Lane Cove and Ryde Councils to form a new council with an area of 57 square kilometres (22 sq mi) and support a population of approximately 164,000. In July 2017, the Berejiklian government decided to abandon the forced merger of the Hunter's Hill, Lane Cove and Ryde local government areas along with several other proposed forced mergers.
The Mayor of Hunters Hill since 9 September 2017 is Clr. Mark Bennett, (a member of the Hunters Hill Liberal Party Main Branch) who stood as an independent politician.
At the 2016 census there were 13,199 people resident in the Hunter's Hill local government area, of these 49.9 per cent were male and 50.1 per cent were female. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people made up 0.6 per cent of the population; significantly below the NSW and Australian averages of 2.9 and 2.8 per cent respectively. The median age of people in the Municipality of Hunter's Hill was 43 years; significantly higher than the national median of 38 years. Children aged 0 – 14 years made up 19.0 per cent of the population and people aged 65 years and over made up 21.6 per cent of the population. Of people in the area aged 15 years and over, 52.7 per cent were married and 9.3 per cent were either divorced or separated.
Population growth in the Municipality of Hunter's Hill between the 2001 census and the 2006 census was 5.34 per cent and in the subsequent five years to the 2011 census, population decreased by 0.20 per cent. At the 2016 census, the population in the Municipality decreased by 0.12 per cent. When compared with total population growth of Australia for the same period, being 8.8 per cent, population growth in the Hunter's Hill local government area was significantly lower than the national average. The median weekly income for residents within the Municipality of Hunter's Hill was significantly higher than the national average.

The numbers on the odometer won’t get any lower, but it will purr once again.

And in the midst of EVERYTHING, we have the looming threat of goddamn war with North Korea. What do we DO?! It's a good question, and I welcome suggestions + action ideas. Let's start with, yes, more calls + emails to our Senators. This comes from 5calls, and feels to me like a good start. But for real—please share other action ideas in the thread.
With tensions escalating with North Korea, Trump continues to make provocative public comments. On September 19th, Trump gave his first address to the UN General Assembly, stating that the US would “totally destroy North Korea” and referring to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as "Rocket Man...on a suicide mission for himself." Trump's latest statements echo his past threats of responding with “fire and fury” to any North Korean threats against the US. Trump’s bombastic and inflammatory approach to this delicate and fragile situation is dangerous for everyone involved.
Bombs and attacks are not always the answer to global crises, and we must not stumble into another unnecessary war. Trump has yet to seriously explore diplomatic solutions to this potential nuclear crisis and instead has only made threats of force and aggression. As an important check on the President's power, Congress must be consulted before any further actions take place that endanger the lives of Americans.
Trump should follow the same procedure as all other US Presidents and seek the approval of Congress before any military action takes place in North Korea, or any other location in the world.
I'm calling to urge Senator ____ to demand congressional approval for any military engagement in North Korea and to advocate strongly for diplomatic rather than military responses to this potential nuclear crisis. We cannot stumble into another unnecessary and endless war, especially one that could trigger the use of devastating nuclear weapons by both sides." | 2019-04-26T05:55:57 | https://www.solidaritysundays.org/action/2017/9/27/solsun-call-for-action-for-september-25-2017-49rrz |
As always go to youtube and click 1080p.
It is very wordy with not much physical shown but if we do another one there will be more work to show.
– ‘X-Press‘ – ‘X’ and ‘press’ relates to gaming in general. Express also means fast which is what im planning to do, teach people fas or at leas make them question what they already think they know.
– ‘Selective Memory‘ – Older people especially have selective memory, and the whole aim of my project is to hopefully update or refresh them memories.
‘Memory Bank‘ – Much like selective memory, people remember stuff from what they were and if they are not within the loop of that particular subject, their memory bank will be ‘outdated’ almost.
Question – Should I make a longer flowing video or a shorter split up series of animation?
– It would be difficult to pull off change in art styles in one big animation, much more manageable in many shorter videos.
– If they are really short, people that may not necessarily care about learning about the subject in the first place might just watch it without knowing and before they get bored of it they have already been told the information.
– I dont think the cardboard fabric thing matters to much, but its essential you get your facts across, the visuals are there to keep people interested?
– Mascot idea, in which the character guides you through and maybe even explains the situation.
– Add bits of reality, green screened parts?
– Use lots of textures for the 3d modelling.

Located at that part of Martis Camp that’s in the company of the Lookout Mountain Ski Lodge, Tennis Pavilion and the Springs Pavilion, this 5-bed-, 5 bath home holds views that gaze up toward Lookout Mountain as well as towering windows that frame the Carson Range and capture light that radiates throughout. First steps into this home reward you with tall ceilings and windows in the great room before you, the kitchen and dining room to the left, and — dead ahead — those knockout vistas. On this main floor you’ll find an elegant master bedroom, a guest room and mud room with washer and dryer. Upstairs is the “hive” of activity, a media room with wraparound decks and views of Lookout Mountain. At this level, you’ll also encounter two more guest rooms and a colorful bunkroom just steps from the media room.
This 4,462-square-foot home features cabinets created from an array of woods — alder, shinoki, and custom Italianate laminates. Countertop materials include slabs cut from quartz and Caesar stone. Doors and trim are alder and floors are a solid hardwood grain. Wolf, Bosch, Sub-Zero and Whirlpool are the name brands behind the appliances. | 2019-04-24T20:36:39 | https://www.martiscamp.com/luxury-custom-homes/custom-home-470/ |
The opossum is the only marsupial, or pouched mammal, native to North America. Opossums are grayish white in color and fur covers the whole body, except for its ears and tail. The opossum has a long, scaly prehensile tail, which is adapted for grasping and hanging. These marsupials can weigh anywhere from 4 to 13 pounds, and their body can range from 15 to 20 inches long with a 9 to 20 inch long tail.
Opossums are common and abundant throughout Maryland and the eastern United States. They also can be found in parts of Arizona, California, Washington and Oregon.
Opossums can be found in a variety of habitats. Opossums naturally prefer deciduous woods near water but can also be found in farmlands or marshes. Opossums can also be found throughout urban and suburban environments.
Opossums are omnivores. This means they eat a varied diet of insects, worms, frogs, birds, fruits, nuts and carrion (dead animals). They will also eat small rodents, voles, shrews and moles. Opossums are often seen feeding at compost piles, garbage cans and bird feeders.
Opossums breed from January to July. Twelve to thirteen days after breeding, the young will be born. Baby opossums are only the size of a honeybee at birth and will live and nurse in the mother’s pouch for two months. When the young leave the pouch, the female will often carry the young on her back.
Opossums make few sounds. Sometimes, opossums will hiss or make a slight growl if they feel threatened or during fights in the mating season. Females will also make a clicking noise to their young, and the young, if separated from their mother, will make a slight “choo choo” call or a sneezing noise to communicate.
Opossums are nomadic and never really establish their own territory. Opossums are primarily nocturnal and will wander throughout areas in the night in search of food. During the day, opossums will seek refuge in hollow trees, under porches, in brush piles, other animal’s burrows, etc.
Opossums use several techniques to avoid predators. In one technique, opossums will freeze to avoid being seen by a predator. Opossums also will fake illness by drooling excessively and swaying back and forth. Many predators will avoid sick prey.
Opossums are highly resistant to diseases such as rabies because of their efficient immune system and lower body temperature. Opossums can not hang upside down by their tail, but use their tail to climb. Opossums have exactly 50 teeth which is more than any other North American land mammal. The opossum also has opposable thumbs on its hind feet for holding onto branches.
Opossums are managed as furbearers in Maryland. For more information on furbearer management, then please click here. | 2019-04-22T03:18:35 | https://dnr.state.md.us/wildlife/Pages/plants_wildlife/opposum.aspx |

“Each boxing match is a story, a unique and highly condensed drama without words."
The archetype of a boxing writer is some hardboiled guy brimming with cynicism and chomping on a cigar. But that description only goes so far. Guys named Homer, Virgil, Egan, Byron, Hemingway, and Mailer wrote about boxing, and some of them never touched tobacco.
Into this guild of two-fisted guardians protecting the last bastion of male exclusivity from the poisonous onslaught of women’s lib comes a willowy creature full of talent who digs the fights. Joyce Carol Oates has three names and deserves every one of them. Not only is she one of America’s great novelists. She is also a savvy critic of the fight game.
Like many of us, Joyce Carol Oates came upon boxing by accident. Her father loved the game and left dog-eared copies of The Ring lying around their home in upstate New York. Those old mags with their baroque graphics and black and white photos were as compelling then as they are today and caught the attention of an inquisitive dark-eyed little girl.
Even as a child, Oates was an astute and wary observer of the rites of man, and she was repelled and attracted to the strange beauty and beautiful violence that made everyone’s heart beat faster.
Much has happened since then. Ms. Oates has been much published and much praised for the quality of her oeuvre, but she never lost her fascination for and abhorrence of the manly art.
On Boxing by Joyce Carol Oates is as fine a book on the subject as any ever written. If she had written under a pseudonym, something butch rather than fem, her treatise on the world’s cruelest sport would be praised to the high heavens, instead of being attacked as the work of some broad.
Although women boxers now grace our ranks with alacrity and grace, the fight game is still, for better or worse, a boys’ club.
Boxing might indeed be only like itself, but it found a home — albeit rancorous and uncongenial — in the broader category of sport.
Boxing is a hurting business, no one emerges unscathed, but Oates sees beauty in the ugliness. She also understands boxing better than boxing understands itself.
Boxing may be akin to dance and music, but it wins the brutality sweepstakes — even allowing for classical ballet and the mosh pit — without much of a fight.
Oates concedes that boxing, at least conceptually, is appalling, but less appalling than round after round of oppression, economic collapse, famine, and war.
Tyson’s talent has abated, he can no longer show us what he can do, but he is no more boxing than a redwood is a forest. Boxing is layered, dense, complex, comprehensive, and deadly serious.
Joyce Carol Oates, despite her gender, perhaps because of it, rips the veil of misconceptions disguising the sport of sports.
Tyson is a horrible example of a boxer. He was trained for the sport by a man with a mind for boxing, but Tyson himself is a brute emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. He is only showing his sensitive side now because that’s what happens to a brute who’s powers have been stripped. If he had the mindset for boxing, nothing could have taken away his dominance. Ali is the greatest example. He went through a longer period of persecution. HIS opponents came not to survive, but to fight. Tyson’s power was fear. Once he lost his opponents stopped fearing him, he started losing. Him biting Holyfeild’s ear was a display of weak-mindedness and loss of personal control. He is no boxer. He is a brute trained in the arts of boxing. Her using him as an example to rip into the sweet science just shows how little she understands it. Boxing is about mininmizing mistakes and capitalizing on your opponent’s mistakes. Not about being an animal. It’s a mental war expressed in physical form. It’s not a fight. It’s boxing. As for her book, I will only read it of someone gives it to me as a gift. She has no support from me. -Ray Jacobs, Future World Champion.
Actually, Mailer was a wimp and a woman beater. I have a video of him fighting with Rip Torn and he scratches and pulls hair. Unreal. Rip ripped him a new one.
Boxing writers come in all shapes and forms. Lots of wannabes and those who would like to associate with macho types. Dangerous to stereotype them. But most have a penchant for the dramtic and for history. | 2019-04-26T08:31:40 | http://www.boxing.com/what_do_women_know.html |
The following excerpts are taken from the booklet entitled Unity in Australia and are found in a letter sent to the 1956 Adelaide Ecclesial Conference by Brethren John Carter and Cyril Cooper. Fellowship and unity are precious and should be preserved and striven for. It can only exist where there is unity of belief. The wise counsel in the following paragraphs is timeless and needs to be borne in mind at all times.
“We are in a highly privileged position by our knowledge of God’s revealed purpose. Many earnest religious people are in darkness concerning God’s truth. We owe our present position to the fact that, under God, Dr. Thomas was instrumental in reviving the gospel from the traditions in Christendom. Those traditions had held sway over the minds of men as the result of the corrupting influences of teachers who had overlaid the truth of God with human theories. Dr. Thomas went back to the Word of God and as the result of much study and discussion he found the Truth.
When we reflect on the fact that the Truth had been lost and darkness had overcome the light, we see the need for heeding the apostle’s counsel to hold fast that which has been wrought. We cannot read the epistles without feeling the sense of foreboding that pervades them and the history of the early centuries only too sadly shows how truly the Spirit had guided the apostle’s utterances. In our turn we have the responsibility of ‘guarding the deposit’, as Paul describes the Truth in his letter to Timothy, seeing that, like a deposit in a banker’s hands, it must be preserved without loss.

RIYADH: Saudi Minister of Energy, Industry and Mineral Resources, Khalid Al-Falih, held a telephone discussion on Monday evening with the Russian Minister of Energy Alexander Novak, in which the two ministers reviewed recent developments in the international oil market.
Among the major topics of discussion was the June 23rd statement of the OPEC and non-OPEC Ministerial Meeting in Vienna to adjust the collective overall conformity from its May 2018 level of 147% to 100%, starting July 1st, which is approximately equivalent to an additional one million barrels a day.
Al-Falih, as the chairman of the Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC), and Novak as co-chairman discussed the need to modify the current monitoring process to reflect the agreed objective of adjusting overall conformity to 100% as per the OPEC and non-OPEC statement.
They also agreed to task the Joint Technical Committee (JTC) with developing and recommending a suitable process for the consideration of the JMMC.
The ministers also agreed to continue close bilateral coordination and consultation, and among other producing partners in the Declaration of Cooperation in the interest of producers, consumers and the global economy. | 2019-04-24T09:53:36 | http://www.arabnews.com/node/1332856/saudi-arabia |
Two recent sessions at the Cloud Foundry (CF) Summit provide some interesting insights into possible developments concerning the HANA Cloud Platform (HCP). The first session was entitled “Future of Enterprise PaaS” from Steve Winkler and Dirk Basenach. The second session was entitled “Commerce as a Service with Cloud Foundry” from Hybris’ René Welches.
I’ve blogged about HCP and the Cloud Foundry in the past but the new material provides some additional insights into the potential synergies between HCP and CF.
There was one slide in particular from Basenach’s presentation that must be examined in more detail.
Although I’ve blogged about the possibility of Hybris running on HCP, I’ve never see any official material about such migration efforts.
One of the most important insights is the presence of CF-based microservices in the existing landscape.
My assumption is that this sceanrio would only work if the HCP was based on CF (more on this topic later).
I’ve been thinking about what the depicted “common API layer” might contain. I think we should be looking for some sort of API Gateway in the near future in the HCP.
An API Gateway would complement the existing Fiori / OData / mobile story.
The microservices mentioned above originate from Hybris’ Commerce as a Service efforts (YaaS).
What is interesting is that they reflect a particular domain (in this e-commerce) rather than technology (mobile, ID Service, etc) as in the existing HCP services.
Currently, the HCP only runs in SAP Data Centers (DCs) –Basenach states that in the future the HCP might be able to run in private clouds (either in the DCs of customers or partners). I could imagine scenarios where partner-run HANA Enterprise Cloud instances could be complemented with HCP PaaS instances in the same environments.
In his presentation at the CF Summit, Basenach mentions something very interesting about the future of CF.
I kept thinking about this statement and what it might mean in terms of SAP’s PaaS strategy.
There is very little documentation about the internal HCP architecture but I found an old drawing that provides some details.
Matthias Steiner confirmed that this fundamental architecture still exists (with name changes and the presence of HANA).
The existing HCP architecture uses the Eclipse Virgo project as its foundation yet much of the lowest layer (“NW Cloud Infrastructure”) appears to be proprietary. This lowest layer is the best candidate for a shift to CF.
The Virgo project has had its share of problems including a change of leadership last year when long-time leader Glyn Normington left the project.
Interestingly, Normington works for Pivotal developing “buildpacks” for running Java applications. Indeed, he has already built a build-pack for Virgo for CF. Thus, a HCP transition to CF appears possible (even with the continuation of the use of Virgo) though I have no idea regarding the efforts involved.
Why would SAP want to use CF in HCP?
The enterprise use of CF is increasing exponentially as demonstrated by a number of new offerings (IBM’s BlueMix, HP PaaS, etc). With this high level of activity, the re-use of a rapidly evolving feature-set is definitely preferable to a proprietary stack.
Features such as recently announced cooperation between Cloud Foundry and Docker (where Normington will also be working!) would also allow SAP / HCP to transition more easily towards the new container-focus in the PaaS arena.
As mentioned above, HCP installations in private clouds are also planned. Partners would probably be more familiar with CloudFoundry-based PaaS’ operations rather than the proprietary PaaS stack currently in use in the HCP. The active promotion of CF in such private clouds is also one of the contributions of SAP to the broader CF community.
The use of a CF as the underlying PaaS framework would make the lives of developers easier in that there is a much larger community that already has experience with CF. For example, IBM’s CF-based BlueMix Paas, the deployment process uses the well-known CF commands.
CF is just the fundamental technological framework for a PaaS. It is not, however, a PaaS offering that customers can purchase. As mentioned above, there are a variety of CF-based PaaSs available. Pivotal also has its own version of a CF-based offering entitled Pivotal Web Services. Thus, the use of CF itself really isn’t the main selling point of such environments. Some vendors such as IBM with its BlueMix are pushing their proven IBM infrastructure (“Open Cloud Architecture”) with hard SLAs and global DCs as its competitive advantage.
In this environment with many CF-based PaaSs, how could a CF-based HCP distinguish itself? Comparing the marketplace for Pivotal Web Services with its services that are focused on technology and the developer (Cloud Forge, IronMQ, SendGrid, etc), you already have something similar in HCP (HANA DBs, Hana Cloud Integration, SMP, etc). I think domain-specific / industry-specific microservices – such as Hybris’ e-commerce services – must be the main focus to provide a competitive advantage. This is an area that other vendors can’t cover. Imagine a microservice for supplier (Ariba-based) or employee (SuccessFactor-based) or contract-worker (FieldGlass-based) or invoice (HANA Enterprise Cloud ERP-based). These are scenarios in which only SAP can truly excel.
Brilliant. Thank you for all this info. Have. just retweeted.
You’re indeed asking the right questions and making valid statements and a lot of your reasoning reflects our own thinking here at SAP.
I’ll sit down to write about all this the next days… however, one important thing up front: we always positioning HCP as a multi-runtime PaaS. Sure, we started with Virgo, yet our evaluations of CloudFoundry date back a long time and the recent changes in their (open-source) policies played a vital role in making us intensify our engagement recently.
As such, the mindset and architecture principles of HCP and CloudFoundry (Pivotal CF) are very similar and as such it seems reasonable to align on the individual work streams.
It is important to note that we split our services in YAAS into Core & Commerce Services. Core Services are domain unspecific and help to build services / apps for any domain, where as the Commerce Services (are what is to be expected from hybris) offer all the necessary services to implement a end to end commerce journey.
Thanks for sharing, hope to see more of HANA and Hybris integration, that too over cloud soon.
the Jam link you mentioned above is not working. Can you give me a right one.
the recording is only available for SAP internal and currently we do not have a publicly available recording. As soon as we have something, I will share it here. | 2019-04-26T05:38:20 | https://blogs.sap.com/2014/06/22/cloud-foundry-hybris-and-the-hana-cloud-platform-microservices-and-beyond/ |

Puerto Rico is one of those places you can be as quiet or as crazy as you want, because there's so much nightlife. I have to take the craziness carefully.
Early, when I first started wrestling, I wanted to be a combination of Sting and the Ultimate Warrior: The Ultimate Warrior's craziness and weird personality and Sting's coolness and the way he carried himself to the ring. But then later on, when it came to physicality and athleticism, Shawn Michaels topped the cake.
What's lovely about 'Eureka' is that it's a sci-fi show, but it's not monsters from outer space; it's not craziness from outer space. It's just about this community of people and what they do. These geniuses have sometimes done wonderful things and sometimes created global warming. It has this wonderful left-of-center sense of humor.
There's nothing nicer than coming back to your village, where people like my mum's friends take the mick out of me. I prefer that to the craziness of Hollywood.
The answer I found is you stay away from the people who make fun of you, and you join these ad hoc groups who understand your craziness.
Craziness doesn't have anything to do with how successful a religion might be.
It's such an interesting experience seeing how different people react to music and the generosity of some and the craziness of others - people who go see bands in different countries, know all the words to the songs, and get tattoos. It's so unexpected.
There's just so much craziness out there in the world; it's like I couldn't fit them all in my books.
Weddings seem to be magnets for mishap and for whatever craziness lurks in family closets. In more ways than one, weddings bring out the ding-dong in everybody involved.
I try to write the books I would love to come upon that are honest, concerned with real lives, human hearts, spiritual transformation, families, secrets, wonder, craziness - and that can make me laugh. | 2019-04-26T12:05:26 | https://images.brainyquote.com/topics/craziness |
Investing in the residential property market in NSW, Australia could become a more attractive prospect following a review currently being conducted into the state’s Residential Tenancy Act.
A change that would make it easier for landlords to evict tenants who are behind in their rent payments is perhaps the most controversial of more than 100 recommendations contained in a discussion paper on laws governing tenants released by NSW Fair Trading Minister Linda Burney.
A focus of the review into residential tenancy is to reduce the level of red tape faced by landlords and real estate agents, particularly through the consolidation of separate laws dealing with the rights of landlords and tenants and those dealing with rental bonds.
Although the proposal to make it easier to evict tenants who have not paid their rent favours landlords, other proposals favour tenants – particularly one suggestion allowing tenants who face eviction by a mortgagee taking possession of their home to hold back two weeks rent to compensate them for relocation costs. | 2019-04-23T13:55:26 | http://marquetteturner.com/new-south-wales-investment-property-boost/ |

Wim S. : The Quill is back! In the original line up that is, so with singer Magnus Ekwall. And that's fine if you realize that Ekwall really has a spectacular voice. His successor, Magnus Arnar, had a great voice, but with his vocals the band went more towards grunge. With Ekwall behind the microphone, The Quill sounds like they should sound: like true seventies hardrock. We hear the Black Sabbath influences, especially in the atmosphere ('Ghosthorse', 'Keep It Together'). Hamfisted, with a lot of mystery. And just listen to that bass sound of Roger Nilsson! Absolutely great! It has been a while since I have heard a Kyuss-like stoner sound like in 'The Spirit And The Spark'! What a groove! Very clever the band knows to combine traditional classic rock with stoner songs and / or more doomy tracks. Well, what should I tell more about this disc? It has no use going through all the different songs; they are all great rock songs, performed by four highly talented Swedish musicians. | 2019-04-22T16:37:03 | http://www.lordsofmetal.nl/en/reviews/view/id/35194 |

As is typical of these types of stories, they are ignored by the media not because they are hokey, or inaccurate, but because they jeopardize the scholastic claims of many professions who have built careers on the hasty assumptions of mankind’s origin which now fills history books. So exploring further information is interesting, and healthy. In a story that is unfolding in my mind rapidly, the giant pyramids are but one of two underwater investigations that need to occur in the waters off of the Bimini Islands, yet science is afraid to ponder. The other are the large wrecks of ships which sit off the waters of the Bimini Road nearby, which will undoubtedly prove that America was discovered by the Chinese, and not Christopher Columbus. But until there is a will to investigate these mysteries with reputable science not afraid of the results, speculation will dominate discussion.
Now enjoy an article inspired by my material!
Reporting on some of Williamson’s amazing findings, Rich Hoffman, explorer and investigator, writes: “There are 40 stone temples on Malden Island that are described as similar in design to the buildings of Nan Madol on Pohnpei, some 3,400 miles (5,475 km) away. In fact, there is a basalt road that runs along the bottom of the Pacific Ocean which connects these islands under hundreds of feet of water.
“This suggests a culture that is more than 50,000 years old and that this entire land mass was once above water supporting a civilization that had no trouble moving around tremendous stones to build very large, complicated societies which we know absolutely nothing about, other than the fact that someone built them and they are older than biblical history.
And if that’s not enough, Hoffman shares the discovery of the Ari Marshall expedition in 1977. The team discovered a smaller pyramid off Cay Sal in the Bahamas. Marshall snapped underwater photos of the pyramid that’s submerged beneath 150 feet of water.
The creators of each new civilization try to erase the memory of the past civilization. For example, the Catholic Spainiards came and tore down the Inca’s temples and built their churches on top. But the Incas themselves built their civilization on top of yet another older still south american civilization.
In Egypt the government won’t allow westerners to visit any pyramids or sites that the Egyptian authorities already know are older than 5,000 years! They are so heavily invested in protecting Islam and its biblical timeline that they refuse to let it be known just how old the civilizations in Egypt really are.
Of course it is all just to protect the current cult’s mythology that gives unquestioned power to its rulers.
If you don’t think the United States is just such a cult, guess again. Just how many images of dead Pharoahs are in your wallet. In America things are a bit reversed. We worship long dead leaders and Constitutions that are both ancient history while we ignore the current misleaders shocking crimes and give them and their current “government” credit for the deads and principles of the long dead. Here in America we so worship the past that many even believe a piece of paper called DOLLAR is a silver Dollar.
So just who’s civilization is the ancient one now?
What will the new people build atop our ruins?
What myths will they create to rule?
It will be the one we build. The Ming Dynasty was started by a few rag tag rebels who had grown tired of Mongol rule. It doesn’t matter if its Mongolians, European Socialists, the Banking Elites, or whatever faction, they all have their timeline of rise and fall. Those who make the next phase of history are those willing to plant a flag in the eye sockets of former rivals and write the next mythology. What is that saying, “history belongs to the victor?” And who is the victor? That is what we are going to find out in our generation.
You are dead right about the Egyptians. Nobody wants to understand the truth. Just like war and religious tension prevent archeological study in the Mideast. War is just the excuse to keep the eyes shut and people otherwise occupied. | 2019-04-19T06:24:06 | https://overmanwarrior.blog/2013/05/30/explorer-and-investigator-rich-hoffman-writes-theories-on-mankinds-secret-past/ |
A recycled burial chamber with unusual decorations has been discovered just south of Cairo, archaeologists announced today.
The chamber may offer further proof of how the nobles of Egypt (http://www3.nationalgeographic.com/places/countries/country_egypt.html)'s 26th dynasty (664 to 525 B.C.) "gentrified" the 2,000-year-old necropolis, or vast burial grounds, of their 5th-dynasty predecessors. The necropolis had fallen into disrepair in the intervening millenia.
The find occurred near the three weathered pyramids of Abu Sir—remnants of an original seven—located 22 miles (35 kilometers) south of Cairo (http://www3.nationalgeographic.com/places/cities/city_cairo.html).
The monuments were part of a complex built about 4,500 years ago during the 5th dynasty's brief reign, from 2498 to 2345 B.C. The necropolis then served the nobles of Memphis, Egypt's ancient capital.
Twenty centuries later, the site was revived by a new generation of Egyptian nobles, who wanted to be buried near the temples of Saqqara, said Miroslav Verner of the Czech Institute of Egyptology in Prague.
"We believe it is the proximity to the complex of sacred installations in north Saqqara"—just half a mile (one kilometer) away—that led to the building of new tombs at Abu Sir, said Verner, who has been researching the region for decades.
The chamber was located about 65 feet (20 meters) underground on a small hill southwest of the Abu Sir pyramid of Neferre.
"It is a very important find," Verner said. "This type of shaft tomb was probably inspired by the substructure of the pyramid of Djozer"—a so-called step pyramid nearby at Saqqara.
Czech archaeologists have been excavating Menekhibnekau's tomb since 2006, but only in April did they find the burial chamber.
Inside the chamber, the team uncovered a vaulted ceiling decorated with stars.
The tomb had been looted and plundered by robbers in the late Roman period, Verner told National Geographic News by telephone from the Czech Republic.
"The remains were completely destroyed," he said.
The bones of the royal scribe, Menekhibnekau, were scattered on the floor.
Among the objects found among his bones was a small rectangular ceramic seal depicting a jackal and nine bound captives.
The book is a collection of mortuary texts consisting of spells and magic formulas used by ancient Egyptians.
On the eastern and western sides, figures representing time accompanied sacred texts and an image of a solar bark, a ship meant to ferry the dead into the afterlife.
Hawass said the discovery of the shaft leading to Menekhibnekau's burial chamber was accidental—just a hint of how much more there is to learn about the necropolis at Abu Sir.
Verner of the Czech Institute of Egyptology said the tomb will have be repaired and reconstructed, and will eventually open to the public. | 2019-04-19T19:20:38 | https://www.meta-religion.com/Archaeology/Africa/Egypt/gentrified.htm |
