Congratulations to UTL researcher and MDesS '15 candidate Chris Bennett, whose animation on the extended urbanization of the atmosphere was recently featured in a news story by the Atlantic's CITYLAB. This work was produced in the context of the UTL Spring 2014 research seminar on the "extreme territories of urbanization." Consistent with our general concern to analyze the dialectics of concentrated and extended urbanization, Chris' video depicts the ways in which the occupation of the earth's atmosphere has involved the construction of highly elaborate, spatially concentrated terrestrial infrastructures to facilitate satellite launches. With a stunning series of data visualizations, the video reveals the historical geographies of launch site activity during the last four decades in relation to each key orbital zone. Nice work, Chris! | 2019-04-20T10:54:17 | http://urbantheorylab.net/news/?tag=Bennett |

Perfect - great service, free coffee and wine tasting every day, fantastic restaurant next door - couldn't be happier. Note that the hotel does not have a restaurant- however this does not detract from the high quality service, staff, valet parking, loan towels, beach chairs ,& bicycles. Definitely coming back to Lotus!
It was amazing. Excellent service and friendly staff. Free valet parking and wi-fi. Beach chairs and towers provided. Free bike rentals too. Very close-by private beach access. Location is close to everything, shops, restaurants, beaches, etc.
Love the free parking, wine in lobby and room amenities. Overall stay was awesome. We're spreading the word. Great that it's pet friendly. Will definitely be back. Will allow more time to ride the bicycles at our next visit.
The Lotus was recommended to us from an older couple and we were traveling with our tween and teenager so there was a discrepancy on expectations. For families, know there is no pool or room service. The hotel is fairly basic but clean and well-staffed. For the price, we expected more but then again the prices are likely in line with the Waikiki area. Although nearly beachside, there are no rooms with a view (at least on floor 4).
The view was amazing and they provided microwaves and refridgerators in the rooms. Unfortunately, the AC didn't work in my room so I had to move rooms. Then the elevator broke, and they only had one for the entire hotel, so I had to carry my luggage from my 8th floor room to the lobby when I left. Also, there was no room service or food vending machines, so I had to go to a convenience store a block away. | 2019-04-25T16:35:33 | https://fr.hotels.com/ho135948/ |

In this installment, I’m getting into the real concept of what makes a Key Person of Influence. These are people whose names come up in conversation,who attract opportunity and earn more money. Most people think it takes decades of hard work, academic qualifications and good luck to become one of them. We’ve proven them wrong over the last six years with our Key Person of Influence Accelerator – a programme that’s been featured on the BBC, The Financial Times, Inc.com, The Huffington Post and Forbes, just to name a few.

It is generally not necessary to replace a tire after going flat and after driving on a flat tire.
The affected tire should be removed and checked for damaged by trained professionals. Assembly work and damage diagnosis on the affected tire should only be performed by trained personnel.
First, the remaining gel must be removed from the tire. The flat side of the spatula is suitable for this.
Then clean the tire and supporting ring with water and a cloth to remove the remaining gel residue.
After separating tire and supporting ring, evaluate both of these components (PAX) according to the criteria described in the following section.
When remounting, ensure the used supporting ring fits the tire and rim dimensions.
The rim must be inspected before mounting, as with conventional wheel/tire systems.
A damaged rim should be replaced. | 2019-04-20T10:40:06 | http://www.vwtouran.net/run_flat_tire_pax_repairing-691.html |
Lately Henry has started seeming...bigger. He has his likes and his dislikes and he is very clear on the difference. He has started cruising and will walk all over the house as long as we are holding his hands. When we carry him around, he sometimes gets aggravated and fights to get down...not that he can really go anywhere on his own, but he wants to TRY. He is strong willed and independent, but at the same time so very loving and sweet. He has started putting his head on our shoulder or his forehead against ours when he wants to say he loves us. He loves being tickled and to laugh. Now, instead of us working to get him interested in these games that tickle him, he will start them on his own. Grabbing our hand or hiding his eyes to start the games that he enjoys so.
He is just...changing. Changing into a tiny little person with opinions and feelings. It is all amazing...amazing and a little heart breaking to watch as my sweet baby grows a little more into a big boy every single day.
Oh how he loves his Papa. Preferring for Nick to hold him over anybody. | 2019-04-22T10:38:48 | http://www.biogirlblog.com/2010/03/big-boy.html |
Health can be regarded as the state of the normal functioning of the structures of the body. It can be difficult for us to do our daily chores when our body is unhealthy. There are many things that can deteriorate the health of our body. Our lifestyle can largely contribute to damaging the health of the body. Lifestyle pertains to all things we carry out to maintain our life. Examples of things that take our lifestyle are foods, drinks, and behaviors. Expect the foods we take daily for an instance to contribute to the health problems of the body. Malnutrition diseases are for an example known to come through taking unbalanced diet. Examples of malnutrition diseases are kwashiorkor and marasmus. It is known for some of the behaviors to bring bad effects to the general health of the body. One of the human behaviors that is harmful to the health is smoking. Smoking tobacco affects the breathing system. What make up the breathing system are the nose, windpipes, and lungs.
Tobacco is known to have a chemical by the name nicotine. Nicotine, when burned, gives out tar and carbon monoxide which have harmful effects on the breathing system. We have heart diseases and lung cancer as examples of diseases that come through smoking. People who smoke usually die to such kind of diseases. It is known for smokers to find it challenging to quit from their habit. Tobacco addicts can stop their bad habit through medication and artificial cigars. Smokers are known to love taking electronic cigarettes as compared to tobacco medication. There are several advantages of electronic cigarettes. One cannot spend a lot by using electronic cigarettes. Electronic cigars make smokers to quit their bad behavior thus cutting short the expense of tobacco daily. Some smokers can even steal due to lack of finance for buying cigars. One cannot use tobacco medication while using electronic cigarettes. It is likely for some tobacco medicines to bring side effects to users.
There are no side effects by using e-liquid. It is most likely for real smokers who try to quit from their bad habit to suffer from things such as a headache, lack of appetite, nausea, and irritation. It is known for electronic cigars to maintain the general health of the body. It is known for nicotine found in e-liquid to lack the harmful carbon monoxide and tar. It is socially agreeable to use electronic cigars in public. Electronic cigars do not have a bad smell as compared to real cigars. Electronic cigars are found everywhere. One can get electronic cigars from health facilities or retail shops. | 2019-04-26T00:33:34 | http://chechencenter.info/2018/05/02/what-do-you-know-about-sales/ |
University students may study linguistics in either an undergraduate program, to obtain a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree (depending on the educational institution), or in a graduate program, to obtain a Master of Arts degree or a Ph.D. University students seeking a Bachelor’s Degree in another field may also pursue the field of Linguistics as a minor. Majors or minors in Linguistics “will complete a range of courses that both introduce the field and provide focused study in such areas as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, language acquisition, and sociolinguistics (Cal. State University Northridge, 2011).
Dissimilar to a degree in something like accounting where the career path is fairly straightforward, Linguistics majors have a variety of different career paths that they may take. These career paths are dependent of the type of degree an individual has acquired but may include employment as an English as a Second Language Teacher (ESL), University professor, language translator or interpreter, foreign language teacher, journalist, technical writer, language consultant, publisher, employment in the computer industry, employment in an advertising agency, or employment with a government agency. English as a Second Language Teacher’s may seek positions in the United States or overseas with a bit of extra training as required by the country one seeks to teach in.

Absolute pressure is the pressure above zero pressure, equal to gauge pressure plus the atmospheric pressure. At sea level, atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi (which means that a column of air one square inch in area rising from the Earth's atmosphere to space weighs 14.7 pounds.).
In a thermal power plant the water is heated on the boiler to convert it into steam, and this steam is supplied to run the turbine. initially during the heating in the boilers the volume of the gas remains constant.

In another topsy-turvy season opener, we ended up on the right side of a 4-3 scoreline this year as we put Leicester to the sword after coming from behind twice, and snatching a late equaliser and subsequent winner through Aaron Ramsey and Oli G respectively.
Alexandre Lacazette got us off to a flyer after just 94 seconds, heading home from a decent cross from Elneny before Leicester drew level just moments later, then took the lead in an entertaining first half. As it looked like we’d go in at the break 2-1 down, Danny Welbeck popped up to bundle in a loose ball from a goalmouth scramble to level the score at 2-2 on the stroke of half time.
Showing we’d not learned any lessons from the first half, Leicester went ahead again after Vardy was left unmarked (nice one) from a corner, and then just when things looked to be slipping away, the boys rallied round to produce an enthralling late show to take all three points and take us top of the league.
Aaron Ramsey scored our third after an amazing assist from Xhaka on 82 minutes before supersub Olivier Giroud’s now customary bullet header won the game with just 5 minutes to go.
Chelsea lost (at home to Burnley!) this weekend and Liverpool drew away with Watford, while Man City, Man United and Tottenh*m all won, so all in all, as much as we could have asked for on the opening day of the season.
Welcome back football, Stoke away next, fingers crossed we can get Alexis Sanchez fit for that one, with Koscielny still missing let’s hope AW can address our defensive frailties, namely conceding goals from corners and crosses.

It's hard to nail down the classics. The differences can be subtle, and the research can take you far and wide. The picture above illustrates that fact. That's me researching the daiquiri. When you order one, you never know what you're going to get. The key to a simple classic like this is getting the proportions just right.
Field work is one thing, but I've been reading up on the various versions of this classic.
Except for that bit at the end about the grenadine, this is quite a standard recipe. It's quite similar to what you'd find today in Wondrich's Esquire Drinks or Gary Regan's Joy of Mixology. If you do add the grenadine, I think it stops being a Daiquiri and becomes a Bacardi Cocktail, Country Club Style (see Bullock's Ideal Bartender over at slakethirst).
And just to muddle things (so to speak) Embury mentions a Daiquiri Grenadine which he says goes by the name Santiago, but which we would call a Bacardi Cocktail.
And that is quite similar to what I'm making as my standard, except that I'm shaking it hard and serving it up in a cocktail glass.
3/4 oz fresh squeezed lime juice.
Shake hard over ice. No garnish. No grenadine.
I'd like to hear what other people are using as their "standard" Daiquiri.
*This book is so good and important, I think it deserves an acronym. Note it also can stand for Very Special Effing Cocktailbook.
Bacardi, much to the disgust of astute practitioners of the compounding art.
grenadine is added, the Bacardi becomes a Santiago" | 2019-04-21T08:55:33 | http://www.mixographer.com/2006/06/daiquiri.html |
It said crunch talks over the weekend aimed at driving down debt and shoring up its balance sheet had failed to result in the “short term financial support” it needed to continue trading while a deal was reached.
It was among companies awarded £6.6bn in contracts by the government to build the new high-speed HS2 railway between London and Birmingham in July.
Unions are calling for urgent reassurances over the jobs, pay and pensions of thousands of workers following the “disastrous” news. Officials from several unions representing workers on the railways, construction sites, prisons, hospitals and schools are seeking information from the company and ministers.
Rail, Maritime and Transport union general secretary Mick Cash said: “This is disastrous news for the workforce and disastrous news for transport and public services in Britain.
“RMT will be demanding urgent meetings with Network Rail and the train companies today with the objective of protecting our members jobs and pensions.
“Over recent months huge efforts have been made to restructure Carillion to deliver its sustainable future.
“Public services, vast amounts of public money, thousands of jobs - including in a lengthy supply chain of insecure agency workers who are also at risk - and workers’ hard-saved pensions are all in danger of being dragged under by yet another bout of reckless corporate irresponsibility.
In November last year Carillion announced it had been awarded two contracts on Network Rail’s Midland Mainline improvement programme, including one to upgrade the existing track and infrastructure from London to Corby.
Network Rail said in a statement: “Network Rail is activating its contingency plans as a result of this unfortunate news.
“Passengers can be reassured that their services will be running as normal today as Carillion’s work for Network Rail does not involve the day-to-day running of the railway.
“We will be working closely with the administrators and Carillion’s management team to ensure projects that they are working on continue and that the supply chain is maintained for this important work.
Carillion is understood to have public sector or public/private partnership contracts worth £1.7 billion, including providing school dinners, cleaning and catering at NHS hospitals, construction work on rail projects such as HS2 and maintaining 50,000 army base homes for the Ministry of Defence.
In the UK some of its projects have included the Royal Opera House, the Channel Tunnel, Tate Modern, the Library of Birmingham and the famous doughnut building of the UK’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ). | 2019-04-20T02:55:02 | https://www.gravesendreporter.co.uk/news/hs2-construction-giant-carillion-to-go-into-liquidation-after-government-refuses-taxpayer-bail-out-1-5354740 |

MDRC conducts experimental studies using methods that provide the best evidence to build knowledge in the social and education policy fields. It is not enough to find out what works; research must learn why and how programs work. MDRC is known for large-scale studies using random assignment and other rigorous quantitative methods, but our staff also call upon an array of qualitative techniques — ethnography, case studies rooted in field research, surveys, focus groups, classroom observations, case file reviews, and in-depth interviewing — to complement our quantitative analyses.
In addition to evaluating current programs, MDRC develops demonstration projects to field-test the best practices identified in our research. Playing the dual roles of technical assistance provider and evaluator, our challenge is to build strong programs worthy of rigorous testing and reliable research designs that can tell us whether the next generation of policies and interventions are effective.
Our staff includes both experts in qualitative and quantitative research and experienced managers of programs and public agencies. Our rare combination of research and operational expertise ensures that we can strengthen the programs we study and that the real-world tests we mount answer the right questions.
MDRC’s mission is to ensure that our evidence informs policy and practice and is accessible to a broad audience. We produce clearly written research reports as well as policy briefs, “how-to” guides, and videos that distill the results of our studies and discuss their implications.
With the active participation of our research staff, we widely disseminate our findings — to the media and public interest groups, in testimony before Congress and state legislatures, through news bulletins e-mailed to more than 12,000 people, and via our award-winning Web site, which receives more than 100,000 visitors a month. | 2019-04-21T20:18:49 | https://www.mdrc.org/job-makes-difference |

When it comes to rehabilitating the plumbing pipes of your Chicago commercial or multi-unit residential building without damaging your drywall, expensive finishes or ceilings, epoxy pipe lining is a viable, affordable solution that can fix pinhole leaks and cracks and prevent further pipe corrosion. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation on the Internet about epoxy pipe coating.
MYTH: The lining process can damage your plumbing pipes.
FACT: Not all pipes are good candidates for the pipe lining process.
Before your plumbing pipes are lined, a plumbing pipe assessment should be performed. These assessments involve using a small digital camera on a flexible tubing that is connected to a small monitor and a recording device. The camera is threaded through your plumbing pipes, and the images are transmitted to the monitor. This allows the pipe lining technician to view your plumbing pipes in real time to determine the levels of corrosion, find any cracks or missing sections of pipe and make an informed decision about whether or not your pipes would benefit from epoxy pipe lining. A professional pipe lining technician should never recommend pipe lining for pipes with extremely thin walls or with severe corrosion. Instead, the technician should recommend a combination approach that involves lining some pipes and completely replacing the pipes that cannot be lined.
MYTH: It is impossible to tell how well the epoxy pipe liner adhered to the host pipe.
FACT: A post-installation camera inspection can tell you how well the pipe liner adhered to the pipe.
After your pipes are lined with an epoxy pipe liner and the appropriate amount of cure time has elapsed, a second camera inspection should be performed. This camera inspection is designed to locate any abnormalities or errors in the pipe liner before the pipes are restored to service. If any abnormalities are found, they should be immediately repaired at no cost to the client.
MYTH: Leaks in failed epoxy pipe liners cannot be fixed.
FACT: If an epoxy pipe liner fails due to improper installation, in many cases, it can be repaired.
Pipe liners can absolutely be fixed if they fail, bulge or wrinkle. When a pipe liner experiences a failure, the first task that should be performed is a camera inspection. This allows the pipe lining technician to locate the problem and determine if it is an epoxy pipe lining failure or another problem with the pipe. Since the camera inspection is recorded, that recording can be shown to the client, and the problems and solutions can be explained in detail. If the problem with the pipe is the pipe liner, the affected section of liner is ground out. A small area of liner can be fixed with an epoxy pipe liner patch. A larger section can be fixed by inserting another epoxy pipe liner in the affected area.
MYTH: When pipes are lined, certain components of the plumbing pipe system are forgotten.
FACT: Proper communication and pre-installation inspections need to be performed before any plumbing pipes are lined.
Proper communication and a thorough camera inspection must happen before any epoxy pipe lining solutions are installed. The camera inspection is essential for determining the condition of the pipes and if they can be lined. Communication is absolutely essential in order to determine the scope and expectations of the job. One example of this type of detailed communication occurred at US Cellular Field.
Our pipe lining technicians, here at NuFlow, were asked if we could line P-traps. P-traps are not usually lined with epoxy liners due to the curve of the traps, but instead of telling the client that we could not line their P-traps, we started developing a custom solution that involved cutting out excess pipe liner until it fit the size p-traps at the stadium. Once installed and cured, the liner was sanded smooth and finished with an epoxy coating. The result was beautifully lined P-traps that were completely restored.

Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) is a tumor suppressor and essential negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway. Wnt signaling is crucial for proper patterning and cell fate specification during development and regulates stem cell homeostasis throughout adulthood. Mutations in Apc are strongly linked to human colorectal cancers and these mutations aberrantly activate Wnt signaling. How APC regulates the Wnt pathway and how oncogenic Apc mutations activate Wnt signaling and promote tumorigenesis are not fully understood. To address these questions, we utilized in vitro reconstitution assays, as well as Apc knockdown or mutation in human cells, zebrafish, and mice. We find APC directly enhances activity of Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK-3), an essential regulator of diverse signaling pathways. Furthermore, APC loss of function mimics GSK-3 inhibition by reducing phosphorylation of Glycogen Synthase and by activating mechanistic Target of Rapamycin in Complex 1 (mTORC1). Thus we identify novel roles for APC as a regulator of GSK-3 activity and GSK-3 dependent signaling. Wnts reduce GSK-3 activity through an unknown mechanism to activate downstream signaling. We find Wnts induce rapid APC dissociation from the GSK-3/Axin complex, suggesting a new mechanism for how Wnts reduce GSK-3 activity. GSK-3 also regulates mTORC1, and we find oncogenic Apc mutations activate mTORC1. Furthermore, many Apc mutant phenotypes are partially rescued by mTORC1 inhibition, while others are rescued by combined mTORC1 and Wnt inhibition. These observations demonstrate roles for mTORC1 activation downstream of Apc mutation. Taken together, our findings provide new insight into APC function and the effects of oncogenic Apc mutation.

Showing the film Armenian Genocide on public TV caters to the wishes of some Armenian organizations to label their suffering as genocide, while completely ignoring the historically documented death of hundreds of thousands of Turks and other Moslems at the hands of the Armenian Revolutionary Bands during the First World War. As Canadians of Turkish origin, we are very disappointed that our Provincial Public Educational Television Network decided to air this film, portraying only the one side of a complex and controversial history, while ignoring the other.
In the interest of fairness, equality and balanced journalism we, the undersigned, ask TV Ontario to reconsider showing this film in its program Human Edge. We urge TV Ontario, instead, to organize a debate on this sensitive and controversial topic where representatives of the Canadians of Turkish origin in Ontario and the Armenian community are both invited.

A devastating zero model can guide your actions when deficiencies are discovered in projects. This concept may help you recover from new product development problems.
In one of my current projects, I had the impression that everything was satisfactory. The objectives were clear. We had support from the highest levels of management. It seemed that many of the individual contributors were engaged and working in a cohesive and harmonious manner, Then, I learned of one exception. There was a potential problem related to the promotional effort for the product.
In a communication with the project sponsor, I wrote that I had just learned of a potential problem and that I had requested more information.
It was then that I realized the cause of my mistake. An excuse of “not being involved” is inadequate.
When I became aware of the potential problem, my first tendency was to assign blame and demand accountability.
Fortunately, my thoughts shifted to options for recovery.
During my analysis, I discovered that I could improve my understanding of the situation using a mathematical model that I am proposing for new product development.
Typically, mathematical models associated with new product development projects are associated with financial results such as the return on investment (ROI) or total sales or relative growth. These types of analyses predict post-launch results.
Another type of mathematical model can be associated with development. It requires a pre-launch perspective.
Typically, mathematical models associated with new product development projects are associated with financial results such as the return on investment (ROI) or total sales or relative growth. These types of analyses are done post-launch.
The perceptions impact project decisions (such as go / kill / wait), project portfolio decisions, and business development decisions.
Consider the following simplified equations that contain factors A to Z that contribute to the project value.
Examples of factors A to Z may include the contributions from individuals assigned to roles in functional groups such as engineering, testing, marketing, advertising, promotional efforts, and commercialization.
In the first equation, the hypothesis is that the contribution from one set of individuals adds to the value created by other individuals. Efforts are additive.
In the second equation, the same factors exist but the contribution factors are multiplied.
In the first equation, there will be a minor impact on the final value. In the second equation, when the promotional efforts factor has a value of zero, the total value will be zero.
I realized that our project had system-level problems. The feedback regarding the promotional efforts was inadequate because the feedback was delayed. The lack of progress on promotional efforts was not sufficiently transparent.
I was in this situation because we out-sourced promotional efforts. We out-sourced promotional efforts because of precedents from prior projects.
In the next few hours, the seriousness of the problem became clearer. The project sponsor was furious. The sponsor signaled that they were considering termination of the project.
My insight occurred when I compared two of the definitions of product.
An object produced by the efforts of management and individual contributors. Typically, there is a process associated with developing a new product.
In mathematics, a product is the result obtained by multiplying two or more factors.
Suddenly, I realized an alternative meaning of product development. The alternative meaning for product development is based on the second equation.
To improve product development, evaluate the factors that contribute to the project. Some can be improved. When the magnitude associated with one factor approaches zero, the value of the entire project will approach zero. Ensure that none of the factors has a value of zero. I am calling this a devastating zero.
Enhancing resilience is one approach to improve the potential for new product development project success.
Resilience: the ability to adapt so that success can be achieved in cases of expected challenges and unexpected challenges.
Resilience is a desirable quality for any project.
This simplified model predicts that a project can not be successful when one of the factors contributing to value equals zero.
This model builds on what I have previously described as Success Limiting Factors (SLFs). SLFs are items that impede new product development. Some SLFs have a deterministic nature. In some cases, there is a simple cause and effect relationship. In other cases, the interactions are more subtle.
In the extreme case, the project can be terminated because of perceived deficiencies in one factor.
Before launch, all the factors tend to be qualified with words such as forecast, hypothesis, uncertainty, risk, and guess. In this context, perception influences decisions. Perception can be sufficient to terminate the project. Perception can become reality.
I hope that the devastating zero model enables you to expand your product development repertoire. It requires that you enhance your capability to detect problems. You will benefit by expanding the way that you approach problems.
With the appropriate orientation, you will not have to relinquish success. You will be better equipped to hold on to success when a devastating zero is discovered.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, March 4) — The House Justice Committee wants to disclose the results of Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno's psychiatric evaluation, as the panel is set to vote on the impeachment complaint this week.
Committee chair Reynaldo Umali told CNN Philippines Sunday they will make the documents and testimonies related to Sereno's psychiatric test public, the same set of results psychiatrists from the Judicial Bar and Council (JBC) shared with lawmakers in an executive session on February 27.
"We will declassify it so that we will use everything for purposes of our prosecution of the case before the Senate impeachment court," Umali said.
The committee members, however, have yet to vote on the move. Umali said the confidentiality rule during an executive session may be lifted if majority of the lawmakers vote for it.
During the final impeachment hearing last week, Umali threatened to cite members of the JBC in contempt for insisting details of Sereno's psychological tests were confidential.
This prompted the psychiatrists who evaluated Sereno when she applied for Chief Justice to testify in an executive session.
While the JBC psychiatrists remained mum after the executive session, Dr. Geraldine Tria, a psychologist who was invited as an expert witness, told lawmakers she believes Sereno is unfit to become Chief Justice.
"There (are) strong indicators five out of nine are actually manifested, like grandiosity, unlimited power, sense of entitlement, interpersonally exploitative in order to take advantage of others to achieve his or her own end," Tria said.
The Psychological Association of the Philippines (PAP), meanwhile, slammed the use of the chief magistrate's psychological tests in the impeachment proceedings, saying it was unethical.
In the impeachment case, lawyer Larry Gadon claimed Sereno "failed in a psychiatric exam" prior to her appointment by scoring a low 4 out of 5.
Sereno's camp said the score does not mean an official failure in the test, especially if no troubling psychological conditions were found. They also argued the performance on such an exam is not an impeachable offense.
Despite criticisms from the PAP and Sereno's camp, Umali said the results of Sereno's psychiatric test will still be included in the articles of impeachment they will prepare against her.
The Chief Justice in a speech on Friday called for respect for the impeachment process "by allowing it to take the only allowed course under the Constitution."
She urged Congress to finally start an impeachment trial at the Senate and hit her critics for resorting to various actions to malign her.
Once the panel finds probable cause to impeach her, the House plenary will vote. If at least one-third of the members of the House of Representatives vote to impeach Sereno, the complaint would go to trial at the Senate.
Sereno is accused of violating the Constitution, corruption, betrayal of public trust, and other high crimes which are grounds for impeachment under the Constitution. She repeatedly denied the allegations and asked for the complaint to be junked. | 2019-04-24T02:39:59 | http://nine.cnnphilippines.com/news/2018/03/04/reynaldo-umali-chief-justice-maria-lourdes-sereno-psychological-test.html |

The QUANTUM dance performance was developed by Swiss choreographer Gilles Jobin and German visual artist Julius von Bismarck in the Collide@CERN residency, at the world’s largest particle physics lab.
QUANTUM takes the quark as muse, fusing choreography and installation art into an ode to subatomic randomness. Six dancers vibrate, scatter, and whirl beneath a gyrating quartet of industrial lamps, programmed to respond to the slightest movement, while Carla Scaletti’s soundscape from particle collision data provides the sonic ether.
Following each performance is a discussion on the collaboration between choreographer Gilles Jobin, artist Julius von Bismarck, and scientific advisor and CERN physicist Nicolas Chanon. The QUANTUM world tour is part of a series of events celebrating the 60th anniversary of CERN in 2014. It is co-presented in San Francisco with ODC Theater, the Consulate General of Switzerland, swissnex San Francisco, and the Goethe-Institut in San Francisco.
On October 12, a reception follows the performance in the ODC Theater lobby.
Gilles Jobin trained at the Rosella Hightower International Dance Centre in Cannes and at the Ballet Junior of Geneva. He danced for several contemporary dance companies such as Fabienne Berger and Philippe Saire in Switzerland, and Angels Margarit in Spain. He began choreographing in 1995 and since then has made eighteen works, including commissions for major companies such as Ballet du Grand Théâtre in Geneva and the Gulbenkian Ballet. His work has been seen at major venues and festivals all over Europe and his company, established in 1995 has toured to 30 countries. Gilles Jobin has made his company and his Geneva headquarters, Studios 44, a pioneering place for the recognition of contemporary dance in Switzerland, hosting international professional exchanges, daily training for dancers, educational activities and capacity building, workshops, artistic residencies, as well as projects with countries from the Southern hemisphere.
Support from the Fondation d’entreprise Hermes/New Settings program, Loterie Romance, Fondation Meyrinoise du Casino, Fondation Leenaards, Fondation Ernst Gohner.
Cie Gilles Jobin is supported by the City of Geneva, the Canton of Geneva and Pro Helvetia the Swiss Arts Council. Gilles Jobin is an associated artist at bonlieu Scene nationale Annecy, France. | 2019-04-22T16:28:05 | https://www.swissnexsanfrancisco.org/event/quantum/ |

Every detail of Long Island, from its easy-going shape to the linen covers, makes it feel relaxed. You can swap the covers to ring in the changes with a new colour or texture each season or in a few years’ time. It’s also super soft – an armchair for settling in.
We make our frames using expert joinery techniques that’ll stand up to a lifetime of use. The point where the back legs meet the frame needs to be especially strong – it’ll be taking most of the weight – which is why we use finger joints that securely lock together each piece of timber.
Learn more about our frames.
In the seat cushion, we’ve wrapped a core of soft foam with feather and fibre, which is kept in channels so it doesn’t move around too much – a little like a duvet. In the back, the cushion is filled with feather and down, which you can sink into but is easy to plump back up again.
As soft and slouchy as Long Island is, it’s also shallow enough that you can sit comfortably upright – though still deep enough you can curl your feet up on the seat. And because the back and arms are quite high, and you sink into the seat, it has a cosy feel too.
Long Island’s shape continues the feeling of relaxation, with a fluid arc to its side profile and gentle scrolling on its arms. It also has a rolled, pillow-like back cushion rather than a boxed one for an inviting look that gently cushions your shoulders.
The covers are precision-made to the frame, but with a degree of looseness so that you can take them on and off. Together with the kick pleats – stitched in place at each corner – it means that no matter how much you use Long Island, the covers will never fall out of place.
And, rest assured, all the feathers and down in our cushion fillings come from ethical, cruelty-free sources.
We’ve put together this guide on taking care of your upholstered pieces so that they stay looking as beautiful as the day you first brought them home. | 2019-04-26T00:39:03 | https://www.neptune.com/furniture/sofas-armchairs/armchairs/long-island/long-island-armchair/ |
Hideaway Island Resort and Marine Sanctuary is a small coral atoll that's about as close as you'll get to a Robinson Crusoe island escape in the South Pacific. Power is generated around the clock on the island, water is fed from the top of the pristine Cascade waterfalls and outside of the office there are no phones or faxes.Surrounded by clear turquoise water, coral reefs and thousands of fish, this Melanesian style resort is the custodian of one of Vanuatu's only marine sanctuaries. Coral reefs ideal for snorkeling or scuba diving right from the shore are home to thousands of 'tame' fish who are more than happy to show you around, while our experienced SSI and PADI Instructors and Divemasters will do their best to ensure you see the best of every site, whether you're a first time diver, on a course, or just out to enjoy yourself.Hideaway Island Resort welcomes all guests and has had visitors from the various P&O and Coral Princess cruise ships that frequent Port Vila. For more information click the cruising link to the right.There is also plenty for the non-diver to do. A day on the island can be as busy or as quiet as you want to make it. As well as snorkeling and scuba diving, you can try sailing and beach volleyball, or use us as a base for a myriad of other tours and activities such as game or reef fishing, visiting the Cascade Waterfalls or having a round of golf. If you prefer a more relaxing holiday, you can always just sit back, relax and enjoy the fare of our world-class chef as you enjoy the view of beautiful Mele Bay. | 2019-04-22T21:07:35 | http://vanuatu-hotels.allaroundtheglobe.com/port-vila-hotels/PortVila-Hotel-3.html |
Two people have been charged, after fleeing police last week.
Last Wednesday (October 10, 2018), police were called to Webster, Alberta, where a suspicious man's vehicle was stuck in a ditch.
An investigation revealed the truck in the ditch was stolen, along with two other vehicles involved in the ensuing pursuit.
Officers called in air support, and help from other detachments, including Dawson Creek and Spirit River, and soon found the suspect's truck from the air.
The truck then collided with two RCMP vehicles and stopped near Bonanza.
As a result, a 16-year-old female has been charged with Possession of Property Obtained by Crime.
35-year-old Matthew James Bergeson of Hythe is facing numerous charges, including Possession of Property Obtained by Crime over $5,000, Theft of a Motor Vehicle, and Failing to stop for Police.
In addition, Bergeson has over 20 charges from various incidents that occurred in Grande Prairie and Beaverlodge since September 30th, 2018.
These charges include Robbery, Arson, Mischief, Assault Causing Bodily Harm, Uttering Threats, and multiple firearms offences. | 2019-04-21T14:34:10 | http://www.cjdctv.com/News/Two-people-charged-after-fleeing-police-last-Wedne |

When you have an economy that works for the middle class, you have a country that works for everyone. The Government is committed to building a strong economy and a fairer and more efficient tax system that benefits all Canadians. That is why as one of its first actions, the Government raised taxes on the wealthiest one per cent in order to cut taxes for the middle class. As well, the Government’s first budget replaced the previous child benefit system with the Canada Child Benefit, which is simpler, more generous, and better-targeted to those who need it most.
The Government is building on its efforts to support the middle class and help those working hard to join it by lowering the small business tax rate in the New Year, better enabling businesses to grow and create good, well paying jobs.
Effective January 1, 2018, the small business tax rate is proposed to be reduced to 10 per cent, as a first step toward lowering it to 9 per cent in 2019. As a result, the combined federal-provincial-territorial average tax rate for small business will be by far the lowest in the G7 and fourth lowest among Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries.
This intended reduction will provide a small business with up to $7,500 in federal tax savings per year. With the small business tax cut, entrepreneurs can retain more of their earnings to reinvest, supporting the growth of their business and job creation.
The Government’s investments in people, communities and in the economy are working to strengthen the middle class and to ensure Canadians have the support, resources and confidence they need to succeed, create jobs and grow the economy. The investments the Government has made in Canadians and their families, in communities and in the economy are working. Canada now has the fastest growing economy in the G7 and among the best job growth in a decade. | 2019-04-20T02:24:07 | https://www.fin.gc.ca/n17/17-132-eng.asp |

Although the idea of a quick and affordable fix is always alluring, it is important to understand what can and what cannot be fixed with PDR. The end goal should always be a perfect looking auto body. Most commonly, paintless dent repair is used to fix hail damage, dents caused by shopping carts or banging doors, minor creases and so on. Usually, the size of the dent determines whether PDR is a possible fix or not. Sometimes though, even dents that are several inches in diameter can be fixed through this technique if the paint is not stretched. Shallow large creases can also be repaired with this method, but sharp dents and dings usually require body fillers and repainting. The experience of the technician is also a factor, so be sure to contact CARSTAR #15333 in Tucson, AZ to have our expert technicians assess the damage to your vehicle and recommend the best course of action.
Like any other process in auto body repair services, PDR starts with a thorough assessment of your vehicle. It is important to locate all dents, dings or creases on your car and determine which ones can actually be fixed through this method. It is also critical to establish from the beginning the extent of the damage as some dents or creases, small as they may be, cannot be repaired with PDR if they are too sharp or if the paint has been stretched too much. Once the damage has been assessed and PDR approved, technicians will work on pushing or pulling out the dents from the metal panels, so that no filler or painting would be necessary. The process can take anywhere between 2 and 3 days and it is certainly a more affordable option than traditional repainting. To find out more about what PDR involves, contact our technicians at CARSTAR #15333 in Tucson, AZ.

June 23, 2017 - The Environmental Assessment Decision Statement has been issued by the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, and the Decision of the Responsible Authorities has been taken.
Projects that were undergoing a comprehensive study at the time the provisions of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 came into force will continue to follow the requirements of the former Act. Under the former Act, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency is responsible for conducting the comprehensive study of this project.
Sisson Partnership (formerly Sisson Mines Ltd.) has proposed the construction and operation of an open pit tungsten and molybdenum mine and associated infrastructure at Sisson Brook, New Brunswick, approximately 60 kilometres northwest of Fredericton. The mine would extract an average of 30,000 tonnes per day of tungsten and molybdenum-containing ore for on-site processing. The mine and ore processing plant would have a lifespan of 27 years and employ approximately 200 to 300 people. The ore body intersects Sisson Brook. It is also likely that waste rock deposit and tailings impoundment areas in designated areas would be located in portions of Bird Brook or another tributary to the West Branch Napadogan Brook.
decommissioning of facilities, and reclamation and closure of the site.
The Agency and New Brunswick Environment are coordinating the federal and provincial environmental assessment processes to the extent possible, including development of a Joint Provincial-Federal Terms of Reference, joint review of the Environmental Impact Assessment, and concurrent consultation periods wherever feasible.
This project is also subject to the environmental assessment requirements of the Government of New Brunswick. | 2019-04-21T04:47:14 | https://www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca/050/evaluations/proj/63169?culture=en-CA |
At www.andina.com.pe/Ingles/NoticialImprimir.aspx?id=313896 August 27th ... we have a Peruvian account of American research that has previously appeared in book form. The theory was advanced that the Nasca Lines may have a connection with water. Basically, he is saying the geoglyphs may be a sort of map of underground water sources in a harsh and very dry environment - a desert. The pattern of straight lines is located in a small area 37 miles long and just one mile wide.
The Journal of the British Interplanetary Society published a letter in 1986 that has obviously intrigued Paul Gilster for a long while - see his blog at www.centauri-dreams.org and the posting for August 26th 2010). It is all about contact iwth other civilisations - and other worlds. What if advanced civilisations did tend to explore their immediate solar systems, but for various reasons confined themselves only to their neighbours and not to space at large - might this explain why nobody has been in contact with the earth.
August 3rd ... a negrito migration?
At http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/08/27/folow-up-on-the-solar-neutrino-radioactive-decay-story/ --- which is the story that broke a few days ago concerning research that seemed to show a variation in radioactive decay rates on earth - is being reopened after a cascade of criticism. The real shocker is they attributed it to solar neutrinos - and they aren't supposed to react with matter and ar particularly difficult to detect. In fact, they might even not exist.
At www.physorg.com/print201957102.html ... a paper in Nature purports to have discovered the origin of the universe's first super massive black hole - by computer simulation of dark matter, stars, gas, and black holes. They were born when early galaxies collided and fused together - quite simple really. However, it is not quite simply simple as it means the old hypothesis that gravity draws small pieces of matter together and these then go on to form large structures is - well, redundant.
Yes, the atmosphere is shrinking - as a result of low levels of solar radiation - a lack of sun spots. At www.physorg.com/print202054025.html there is a report on a paper in Geophysical Research Letters from research funded by NASA and the National Science Foundation which sponsors the National Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) at Boulder, Colorado. It is now thought the Sun's magnetic cylce may vary much more than previously considered possible.
At www.physorg.com/print201972151.html ... professor Jeongwoo Lee (see also www.csun.edu/physicsandastronomy/IAUS273/) seeks to explain why sun spots are a source of radio emissions because hot electrons gyrate in the coronal magnetic field. As they gyrate they produce an efficient radiation called gyro-resonant emission. This serves as an indicator of the magnetic field and of temperature in the coronae above sun spots. | 2019-04-22T20:21:21 | http://www.sis-group.org.uk/news?page=493&order=field_date_value&sort=asc |

The Invisible Boy by Trudy Ludwig (Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers, $16.99, Ages 6-9), with illustrations by Patrice Barton, is reviewed by Ronna Mandel.
The Invisible Boy by Trudy Ludwig with illustrations by Patrice Barton, Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2013.
Parents, how many times have you volunteered in your child’s school and noticed an invisible boy? They’re not easy to see, I know. Like Brian, the main character in Ludwig’s touching and thoughtfully written new picture book, The Invisible Boy, they fly under the radar in schools all over the world.
Illustrator Barton’s drawn Brian in muted grays and white although everyone else is in color. Unlike Brian’s imaginative artwork (wonderfully rendered in kid-style by Barton) depicting Super Brian, he’s not a superhero “with the power to make friends” wherever he goes. Nope. Kids like Brian are the last ones chosen for sports teams, they don’t get invited to parties, in fact other kids don’t even think of the Brians as having feelings. They’re often overlooked in the classroom because they’re quiet and so well-behaved. Typically the teacher has to devote his or her time to dealing with the whiners and the yellers.
And while Brian may frequently get ignored, he’s smart. So smart that he puts a note in the cubby of new boy Justin, with a drawing of himself eating Bulgogi, “Yum!” The two boys hit it off at recess, but it’s clear Justin’s already made another friend, Emilio, who says it’s his turn to play tetherball. But Justin is kind and doesn’t leave to play with Emilio without first complimenting Brian’s artwork. When Brian wants to partner with Justin on a special project, Emilio holds Justin back. “I’m already with Justin,” says Emilio. “Find someone else.” I could feel my grin spreading when the image of Brian begins to shift from grays and white to greens and blues when Justin tells him the teacher says the special project group can have three people in it. As the friendship grows, and Emilio accepts Brian, too, a once lonely boy becomes visibly happy and colorful.
The Invisible Boy includes important back matter with questions for discussion that parents and teachers can use to prompt kids about the topic of bullying. There’s also recommended reading for adults and kids. With bullying being so prominent in the news, it’s great to have a resource like The Invisible Boy to enlighten youngsters about the pain and heartache of being ignored or ostracized. | 2019-04-23T06:25:46 | https://www.goodreadswithronna.com/2014/01/23/the-invisible-boy-by-trudy-ludwig/ |

Unlike other picnic spots, campsites usually don’t have food shops logically because you come here to enjoy nature in its most original form and not spoilt with typical human things like shops and trade, and so, you have to bring everything with you, especially food and drinks and tools to make, serve and eat them. Here are a few useful tips to help you packing food for camping.
Prep Equipment like knife, cutting board, plates, mugs etc.
Cooler is a must for camping since there is no refrigeration. Choosing the best camping cooler is very important, because your cooler will have to serve you a lot. You will need lunches on the road and munchies like sandwich rolls, sliced tomatoes, cucumber and lettuce, hard-boiled eggs, chopped fruits, fruit bars, etc. which are easy to prepare. You’ll also take hot dogs, hamburgers etc. meat products. Plus, you may have to carry milk, vegetables, fruits, condiments and other fresh vegetable foods.
You’ll have to carry some foods that can be stored at room temperature like coffee, cocoa, tea, milk powder, sugar, salt, pepper, neutral cooking oil, and if you prefer it, fresh spice mixes. You can also carry bread, pancake mix and rolls.
You can also carry some special treats like caramel chips, chocolate, graham crackers and marshmallows. Although these are good for kids, they can be enjoyed even by adults.
You’ll have to pack a lot of drinks too, especially water. You can carry also juices, beer etc.
Although this may seem a much elaborate list, you’ll find it useful when you actually reach your campsite. What you have to do is just start fire and you are ready to cook and eat outdoors!
Ziplock bags are good to carry all the above foods and prepping equipment, eliminating the need of carrying bulky containers. Once a bag is empty, you can get rid of it and don’t have to carry back home.
Thus if you make preparation in the right way, you can enjoy eating and drinking in the outdoors to your heart’s content while also enjoying the nature’s company. So, do it and have fun!

Mount Fuji (富士山) is the highest mountain in Japan at 3,776 m (12,388 ft). Along with Mount Tate and Mount Haku, it is one of Japan’s “Three Holy Mountains” . An active volcano that last erupted in 1707–08, Mount Fuji straddles the boundary of Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures just west of Tokyo, from which it can be seen on a clear day. It is located near the Pacific coast of central Honshū. Three small cities surround it: Gotemba (south), Fujiyoshida (north) and Fujinomiya (southwest). Mount Fuji’s exceptionally symmetrical cone is a well-known symbol of Japan and it is frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers.
Many climbers came to climbing Mount Fuji.

To apply Glass-Free clean glass plate with Detergent, dH2O, Methanol.
You can either soak the plate in Glass-Free for 5-10 min or buff the glass plate with Glass-Free. Follow this with a quick cleaning with methanol.
Clean the other glass plate with Ethanol and let both plates dry completely.
Clean the comb and spacers with ethanol as well and let dry.
Assemble plates with spacers. The whole set-up can be held together with black binder clips.
Once the agarose has cooled some, use a plastic Pasteur pipet to apply the agarose to the outer edges of the gel plates.
Note: This acts to seal the plates and spacers so that the Polyacrylamide will not leak.
Mix the appropriate ratios of SequaGel monomer solution and SequaGel complete buffer in a 50 mL falcon tube; mix well. Add the 10% APS (from SDS-PAGE supplies, there is an aliquot in the 4˚C fridge).
Pour the gel so that the liquid is almost to the top of the lowest plate and then insert the comb ensuring that there are no air bubbles in the wells.
Note: It is best to set the gel plates at a 45˚ angle when pouring.
Incubate samples at the prescribed temperature and for the indicated time.
Run the gel at 70V for ~8 hr. or run at 200V for ~1.5 hrs.
If the loading Dye doesn’t already have EtBr in it, stain the gel in 500mL of H2O + EtBr for 10 min.
Cut out 8 sheets of whatman paper to fit the gel, cut membrane out to the same size or just a little bit smaller.
Soak the whatman paper, membrane and gel in 1x TBE for 30 min.
Note: Be sure that the Gel and membrane do not touch while soaking, you do not want an random transfer of nucleic acid to the membrane!!!
From the bottom: 4 pieces of Whatman paper, membrane, gel, 4 pieces of whatman paper. Be sure to role out the bubbles in each layer.
Check gel with Gel-doc after blotting to ensure a good transfer has taken place.

Today, I've snaffled a blog post courtesy of Editor, John Hudspith. I found it extremely funny and absolutely true..I think you'll enjoy it too. Thanks John.
Introducing `Y` – a `successful` author. Define successful author.
Y: My Amazon royalties pay the rent and buy the groceries.
What do you think the key ingredient is towards making huge sales?
Y: My fans love my books, they know how I write.
Why do they love them?
Y: *shrugs* Everybody has fantasies lol. I guess they like the ideas.
All of your books sell well yet they have many low scoring reviews, most of which complain about flat or dumb characters as well as puerile writing. Don’t you ever want to put that right?
Y: I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the writing.
Perhaps you can’t see that but some of your readers obviously can. Are you a member of any writing groups where your peers might help you improve with the flat characterisation and the immature writing?
Y: I used to be a member of xxxxxxxxxx but don’t bother now.
Why not? The site you mentioned has a good review system in place. You could make your writing better.
Y: The writing is okay as it is.
Aren’t you interested in preventing those low scoring reviews?
Y: I really don’t have time. I’ve websites to look after and books to write. Fans are always demanding the next one.
I view the art of writing for the craft that it is. I can see its beguiling depths and love nothing more than to swim in its trenches of discovery, striving always to learn and improve, understanding that there is no perfection. Does the adventure of such discovery not twist your melons?
Y: You just said there is no perfection.
That was my point. The art of writing offers infinite possibilities and with a little effort on your behalf you could take your writing from puerile to great or even magnificent. Doesn’t that appeal?
Y: I don’t have time, like I just told you. My fans love my writing. They beg for more. I don’t need to improve anything.
Y: Of course I’m proud. I’m selling lots of books, something I’ve always wanted to do.
I’m talking about having pride in your writing.
Y: There’s nothing wrong with the writing. Those reviews are only opinions.
You don’t respect the opinions? If someone suggests the writing to be childish or the characters dumb and flat doesn’t it make you want to do something about that?
Y: Those reviews are only opinions.
So you have no pride in your writing?
Of the many sales, yes, I get that, but you have no pride in your skills of the craft, would you agree?
Y: Maybe there are things that could be made better but I don’t have time.
That being the case we can break this down to a simple conclusion. You are like a vampire, leeching off the sexual needs of your clamouring readers, disinterested in improving their reading experience.
That wasn’t meant to be funny.
Y: I’m a successful author.
You are a successful salesman, but a mediocre writer.
Y: There’s nothing wrong with the writing.
Y: People shouldn’t be allowed to leave reviews like that.
Okay, let’s talk about the mistakes.
The typos, grammatical errors, continuity errors, punctuation errors.
Y: There may be the odd one just like any in any novel.
True, however, if we take your novel xxxxxxx as an example, there are glaring errors on every page.
Y: I think you’re exaggerating.
I can email you a doc with the errors highlighted.
What advice would you give to aspiring writers who read this interview?
Y: You can’t use my name.
Why not? You have a great many sales with clamouring fans and many five star reviews, of which you say you are proud, surely our chat would garner more sales?
Y: I don’t need the publicity.
But your success is a perfect example of why writers should not hire an editor or a proof reader. Who needs such unnecessary expense when sales can be made without editorial aid. Isn’t that what you’re saying?
Y: I guess I am, but you can’t put my name to this.
I accept that your pride lies in making great sales, and I accept your conviction lies in churning out the next book, but shouldn’t you have the courage of your convictions?
Y: I don’t churn them out. I write for hours into the night, every day.
How long did xxxxxxxx take you to write?
Y: About eight weeks then another two editing.
Eight weeks for a full draft is mighty quick… I do think that could be classed as churning.
You didn’t answer my earlier question… What advice would you give to aspiring writers?
Y: Just write and get your books out there.
What about employing an editor or a proof reader?
I’d suggest it’s down to whether or not you have pride in your skills as a writer. If you want your writing to stand out, want to keep those review scores high, want to hold your head high, then you should attempt to bring some quality to your work.
But you won’t hold your head high?
Y: I do. My family are proud of my success.
If you are proud enough to hold your head high then I can assume it’s okay to use your real name?
Y: No, you may not use my name.
Then I guess I can’t link to your books?
There it is, folks. You don’t necessarily need an editor. Simply determine where your pride lies and go from there.

On September 21, 2017, the Central District Health Department received three lab reports and one clinical diagnosis for Salmonella infections of patrons who had all eaten at Chiang Mai House Thai Restaurant, located at 4898 West Emerald Street in Boise, Idaho. In total, six individuals with Salmonella infections were reported to the Central District Health Department and included in the Chiang Mai House Thai Salmonella outbreak (Outbreak ID# 2017-081). Five of the six cases were culture confirmed and were infected with the same strain of Salmonella. All cases ate food prepared at Chiang Mai House Thai on or after September 13. Four out of six of the reported cases consumed contaminated food catered for an office lunch meeting. Reported symptom onset dates ranged from September 16 to September 19.
Environmental Health inspectors conducted an on-site outbreak investigation at the restaurant on September 21. Inspectors observed food preparation and collected environmental swabs and food samples to be tested for Salmonella at the Idaho Bureau of Laboratories. Environmental testing included swabs from the walk-in refrigerator door, meat slicer, cutting boards, and food storage containers. Food samples for testing included prepared egg rolls, curry, and dipping sauces, as well as unprepared cilantro, pork, and eggs. All samples collected tested negative for Salmonella. However, five of the six cases reported eating fresh spring rolls, and the sixth case was not certain what they ate. Therefore, fresh spring rolls are the most likely outbreak vehicle. No employees reported being ill on September 13.
Health Department investigators determined that the Chiang Mai House Thai Restaurant Salmonella outbreak was a point source outbreak that lasted from the evening of September 13 to the morning of September 14. No secondary cases were identified by the health department investigation. The restaurant voluntarily closed on September 22 for 24 hours for deep cleaning and food disposal. | 2019-04-25T10:06:17 | https://www.salmonellablog.com/salmonella-outbreaks/settlements-reached-in-chiang-mai-house-thai-restaurant-salmonella-outbreak/ |

Abstract The importance of trust in business area has long been known. This element is far more important for running the investment management industry. There are three reasons, which determine the critical role of the investment firms’ trustworthiness. Most substantially, it derives from the nature of this industry that profits root in other person’s money and clients’ confidence. Secondly, almost the whole industry is clouded by negative fame, after the frequently happening world-shaking finance scandals of the large international corporations. The fact that investors were disappointed in the market and took their money away stirs up an appeal for rebuilding trust.

Kim M. Keenan became president/CEO of the Multicultural Media, Telecom and Internet Council a year ago. Radio World checked in with her on MMTC’s activities including its advocacy activities at the FCC.
Commentaries by MMTC are a recurring feature on radioworld.com.
RW: Why does MMTC spend time and effort on radio issues at the FCC?
Keenan: Radio may be widely considered an “old” or “heritage” technology; but age is a sign of maturity and resilience. One of the key things about AM radio is that it’s been the entry technology for diverse ownership in the media and telecom space. Two-thirds of minority-owned radio stations are AMs, and most minority FM and television station owners got their start in AM. Also important, AM dominates the talk realm, encouraging the listening public to engage in discourse and discussion, and a great many minority-owned stations have extensive programming for that purpose. That’s especially true for multilingual stations, which provide vital news and information to their communities.
RW: MMTC was active in pushing to secure an AM-only translator window, succeeding when the commission adopted its Report and Order last month. What role did your advocacy play?
KMK: MMTC and dozens of partners advocated fiercely before the commission to make this happen. In August, we filed a letter along with 50 CEOs representing diverse radio stations calling for the commission to act to revitalize AM Radio. In September, we filed another letter jointly with the National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters and the National Association of Broadcasters. We met with each commissioner or their legal counsel to underscore the importance of the issue. In October, Commissioners Clyburn and Pai both voiced exceptionally strong support, urging the other commissioners to act quickly on this important matter. And by the end of October, the commission unanimously adopted several engineering proposals in MMTC’s 2009 “Radio Rescue Petition.” This is welcome news for diverse radio owners across the nation and great news for consumers.
RW: You’ve expressed concern that the FCC dismissed 24 MMTC proposals to advance minority broadcast ownership. What was MMTC’s next step?
KMK: We took them to court! We’re currently in the D.C. Circuit as intervenors in the Stirk case in which progressive groups have challenged the FCC’s failure to do enough to promote ownership diversity generally, and minority ownership specifically. The commission rejected MMTC’s 24 proposals in a footnote, in one sentence without consideration, stating that they were outside the “scope” of the proceeding. They were, in fact, squarely within the scope of the diversity proceeding, and the Third Circuit had instructed the FCC to consider these kinds of proposals in its Quadrennial rulemakings. Oral argument will take place in December of this year.
Further, in 2011, the Third Circuit vacated the FCC’s definition of “eligible entities” as arbitrary and capricious and stated that the commission’s diversity efforts did not do enough to encourage diverse broadcast station ownership. The FCC has yet to come up with a definition of “eligible entities” that is more appropriate than its “small businesses” definition. This is important because the commission gave eligible entities advantages in certain instances, such as extending construction permits for new stations nearing their license expiration dates. The commission’s own Advisory Committee on Diversity recommended a workable, race-neutral definition — businesses that have overcome disadvantages — yet the commission rejected it.
RW: You’ve said the FCC has been too slow in addressing radio reform. Why?
KMK: To be fair, the FCC has had many other priorities that have arisen over the past few years. For example, the 2010 National Broadband Plan had 110 staff devoted to it, covering almost every issue the FCC addresses. And, of course, there was the open Internet issue which dominated the docket for two years, as well as a number of major mergers. At the end of the day, the commission had little time to focus on much else. With those issues largely behind it and one year left in this commission’s time under the current administration, we think the time has arrived for the FCC to turn its attention in a systematic and very thorough way to broadcast issues.
RW: What do you think the FCC has done well when it comes to broadcast reform?
KMK: We always credit the commission when they take action to diversify and improve access and opportunity for all Americans. During the first vote at a public FCC open meeting under Chairman Wheeler, the commission voted to relax the foreign ownership and investment rules. These rules barred foreign investors from owning more than a certain stake in American broadcast stations. MMTC believes that relaxation of those rules provides new sources of capital for minority and foreign language broadcasters and opens international reciprocity for broadcasters to gain a foothold overseas. We also credited the FCC for taking on television Joint Sales Agreements and Shared Services Agreements — “sidecar” arrangements structured for the primary purpose of evading local ownership duopoly rules, not to provide better service to the public. These are significant steps in the creation of additional incentives and opportunities for ownership, especially since access to capital has always been the largest barrier to minority ownership.
RW: What is the Tax Certificate Policy and why does MMTC feel it so important to bring it back?
KMK: In almost every year since 1995 when Congress repealed the Tax Certificate Policy, the FCC has encouraged Congress to restore and update it. The policy first was adopted in 1978. It permitted deferral of the capital gains tax to broadcast owners who sold stations to minorities. This incentive to sellers, all other things being equal, to sell to minorities, quintupled the number of minority-owned broadcast stations before its repeal in 1995. It was the most effective minority ownership policy ever developed. Sens. McCain and Menendez, and Congressmen Rangel and Rush have authored bills to reinstate it. However, as a tax bill, it must go through the House Ways and Means Committee, which has refused to schedule a hearing. The only chance of its restoration in the short run would be through a must-pass House bill.
RW: Tell us about the media brokerage, and what advice you give buyer’s side clients regarding the economic prospects for radio. Who’s interested in buying radio stations now?
KMK: MMTC operates the nation’s only nonprofit, and only minority-owned, media and telecom brokerage. Radio has great potential — predictions that it will disappear have never proven to be accurate. Legacy communications like newspaper and radio will always have a dedicated audience – people still go to movie theaters even though you can download a movie from the Internet. Radio will always have a dedicated and loyal constituency of millions of people into the distant future. The demographics and interests of the audience will change and evolve as they do with all media. So we encourage buyer’s side clients to just simply go in with their eyes open, be aware of the trends, and structure the deal so you do not pay all cash — use seller paper, use options, use LMAs. Use any number of tools that would enable you to have the best opportunity for successful ownership.
RW: MMTC operates a program to incubate new radio owners and operators. How does that work and what has it accomplished?
KMK: We realized that the skill set needed to own and operate a station are more extensive and different than the skill set necessary to manage a radio station. We encourage companies to donate stations to our program, then we find an operator and install them in a Local Marketing Agreement to operate the station, restore it to health and ultimately buy it at a deep discount, which helps them to finance it and get into the business in that way. We have done this now with 10 stations, most of which were sold to minorities and women. This process helped generate the first Hispanic, African American and Asian America-owned stations in Detroit, Minneapolis, Salem, Ore., and Laurel, Miss. We are very proud of this program, and we encourage companies to continue to donate stations to us that we can repurpose in this way.
RW: You told us radio has been important to you personally. Why?
KMK: Every morning, I start by turning on my radio. Whether it’s new music, breaking news or just morning chatter, radio starts my day off right. I have even taken broadcast courses to hone my own radio skills. Radio allows you to focus on enjoying the sound while going about your day. It is my secret weapon to beginning any challenging day. | 2019-04-24T12:18:32 | https://www.radioworld.com/news-and-business/mmtcs-keenan-believes-in-radios-potential |
A man and his wife were awakened at 3:00 am by a loud pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push. 'Not a chance,' says the husband, 'it is 3:00 in the morning!’ He slams the door and returns to bed. ‘Who was that?’ asked his wife. ‘Just some drunk guy asking for a push,’ he answers. ‘Did you help him?’ she asks. ‘No, I did not, it is 3:00 in the morning and it is pouring rain out there!' Well, you have a short memory,’ says his wife. ‘Can’t you remember about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself!’ The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pounding rain. He calls out into the dark, ‘Hello, are you still there?’ ‘Yes,’ comes back the answer. ‘Do you still need a push?’ calls out the husband. ‘Yes, please!’ comes the reply from the dark. ‘Where are you?’ asks the husband. ‘Over here on the swing,’ replied the drunk. | 2019-04-23T06:13:55 | https://www.whizzinatortouch.com/the-whizzinator-touch-blog/nothing-to-do-with-the-whizzinator-but-we-thought-it-was-funny |

Try static contractions, and bring up your lagging body parts.
"Use full range of motion." That phrase captures one of our major philosophies of resistance training so well that it bears repeating. Use a full ROM. Use a full ROM.
Good. Now that's hopefully out of your system, because another major philosophy of muscle-building that we preach is: "Frequent change is good." Repeat it if you feel the urge. This philosophy pertains to exercise selection, sets, reps, weight, frequency, and, yes, even your ROM.
It may seem like a contradiction, but occasionally breaking the full range of motion rule does a body good. One way to do this is with partial reps. Another way is with the approach we present here: static contractions.
The term static means lack of movement. And as this term implies, with static training you take a weight and hold it in a fixed position for several seconds. This concept is based on the idea that by forcing the muscle to work only when it is maximally contracted and using the heaviest weight possible, you can optimize its growth potential. You have to admit that it makes sense. The question is, does it work?
The answer is yes; it does work when used properly. This is due mainly to the overload that's involved, as well as to the unique stimulus with which it jolts the muscle.
When you train using a full ROM, the amount of weight you can use is limited by your sticking point—the point in the exercise ROM where you're weakest. You can only use as much weight as you can lift through that sticking point. With static contractions, you eliminate the sticking point, so you can overload the muscle fibers with as much weight as you can hold for at least 10 seconds in a particular muscle's strongest position.
Static contraction training may seem like a new concept, but it's hardly a radical, untested training philosophy.
Bob Hoffman, founder of The York Barbell Company and former USA Olympic Weightlifting coach, had members of the team use a similar training system back in the early 1960s with incredible success. And the late Mike Mentzer, professional bodybuilder and past editor of Muscle & Fitness, also touted the effectiveness of static contractions for building size and strength. Now you can put them to work for you.
One point we should stress is that training with static contractions isn't the same as training with isometrics—where you simply apply force to an immovable object. For example, you push with all your might against a wall; your muscles flex, but the wall doesn't move (and if it does, you may want to talk to your contractor).
True, there are similarities between the two training modalities, as both are static in nature. But with static contraction training, you have movement in the beginning, as you get the weight in the contraction range for the particular exercise, and you have movement at the end, as you fatigue and the weight drops (this negative movement stresses the muscle fibers significantly, in a good way).
In addition, with isometric contractions you can cheat, because actual muscle contraction depends on how hard you decide to apply force. You can push or pull lightly, or you can push or pull with all your might. With static contraction training, you have to apply the maximum force possible or the weight will fall. Using actual weights—barbells, dumbbells, and machines—allows you to follow a methodical progression that's impossible with isometrics.
Static contractions are best used with exercises that allow max resistance in the muscles' strongest point of contraction while limiting help from assisting muscle groups.
That means you want to choose isolation and machine exercises. Machine exercises are actually a good bet because they provide constant tension on the muscle at any point in the ROM; their one drawback is the fact that a weight-stack machine may not provide enough resistance for stronger lifters.
Poor choices would be multijoint exercises like squats and bench presses, because they don't isolate one muscle group. But if overall strength rather than hypertrophy is your goal, you can use static training to get stronger on these lifts.
Now that you're sold, here's the three-step method for incorporating static training into your own program.
Begin each workout by warming up. Start out with 10-15 minutes of light cardio to give your body a general warm-up. Then do two light 10-rep sets of each exercise you're training statically. On each rep, stop and hold for a three-count at the end of the contraction. Hit a third warm-up set with a weight you can do for six reps, but do only one rep, holding it for a three-count before ending the set. Now you're ready for a true static contraction set.
Next up are your working sets. Have a training partner move the weight to the static position; he should apply only enough force as is needed to help you get there. That will help prepare your muscles for when they're suddenly on their own. When your partner lets go, he needs to watch the clock, as you're now counting time, not reps. The weight should be light enough to allow you to hold it statically for at least 10 seconds, but heavy enough that you can't hold it for more than 20. Once you can hold a weight for more than 20 seconds, it's time to increase the weight. Your partner also can help you bump up the intensity by forcing you to hold the contraction longer—similar to forced reps.
Do 1-2 static contraction sets. If you feel one set is enough—and it should be for beginners—immediately go into two drop sets of full ROM reps at the end of that one set. If you go for two static contraction sets, rest about two minutes between sets. After the second set, drop the weight and immediately do one set of full ROM reps.
Following this exercise, move on to three straight sets of a compound move for that muscle group using full ROM reps. Warning: You probably won't be able to do much on the compound exercise because you have pre-exhausted the muscle with the static isolation exercise.
Or, to concentrate on hitting your compound moves with heavy weight, do the static contraction sets last in your workouts.
After three sets of one compound move, finish with the static contraction sets. Do 1-2 static contraction sets and immediately go into 1-2 full ROM sets to finish. Switch the order of exercise progression every other week.
The first week, perform the static contractions first, and the next week, perform them last. Continue in this fashion for up to eight weeks before returning to full ROM training.
Like most great training techniques, the static contraction method can really give your growth a jolt. The key is to not make it a predictable, permanent part of your routine, and to progress to heavier weights over time when you do use it. Stick to those rules, and you'll see you can make progress—by standing still.
This is your static contraction set. | 2019-04-22T00:04:45 | https://www.muscleandfitness.com/workouts/workout-routines/static-contractions-grow-standing-still |
“Tom has been brilliant all year,” he enthused, after the plucky Northwich, Cheshire-based outfit secured an excellent fifth spot out of 21 in the outright Teams’ Championship. “I can’t think of a single moment when he has put a foot wrong, and he has produced some sensational drives through the field – including here at Brands.
Likewise, the boys have been exceptional – their work ethic is just faultless. We’re far from the biggest crew in the paddock, but we’ve definitely got the most talented and passionate bunch of guys out there and I’m incredibly proud of each and every one of them.
“It’s a phenomenal achievement to win both Independents’ titles two years on the bounce, and testament to the stellar work everybody here has put in – particularly as a single-car operation. | 2019-04-26T11:47:54 | http://www.automobilsport.com/ingram-speedworks-independent-crown-btcc-finale---181410.html |
A revamped junior game – aimed at getting five- and six-year olds more involved at the grassroots level – will have a particular benefit for the women's game at a time when improved women's pathways means female players no longer need to be lost to the game once they turn 12.
Raiders star Blake Austin – whose own son Carter will be one of the many youngsters playing under the new guidelines in 2017 – said anything that helps keep the young fans interested in the game is a positive.
However as someone with plenty of girls in the family, Austin welcomed the changes as something that will help grow the game.
"As someone that's got a lot of girls in the family that love rugby league and are participating as well it's great what they're doing for women's rugby league," Austin told NRL.com.
"My son started playing this year so I got to get along and watch plenty of his footy. Junior footy's definitely something that means a lot to me. It's where all the stars start playing and I really love it.
"[The changes] are something they've done their research on. I think they're trying really hard to make it an inclusive game for everyone and I think that's really important."
Of the women's game in particular, Austin said he is a huge fan.
"Anyone that's a knocker of the women's rugby league has only got to have someone in the family that loves the game and see what it means to them because it's every bit as enjoyable for them," he said.
"I've got sisters and cousins participating and they absolutely love it and they really get in there and have a crack.
"With the changes they're making and making it more inclusive for everyone I think it's only going to be a positive moving forward for the game of rugby league."
Of his own five-year-old son Carter, Austin said he could sometimes only shake his head at the enthusiasm kids of that age have for the sport.
"I sometimes can't wrap my head around a kid that's five years old can be that in love with the game but that's the beautiful thing about sport and about our game and people fall in love with it and they're hooked for life," he said.
It highlighted the need to look after fans in that age group.
"They're not only future players, they're the ones that are going to be the bums on seats in years to come with the teams they support," he said.
"It's really important we focus on these guys' roots and as players at the elite level show our faces as much as we can to the young kids and show them we're just footy lovers like them and just promote the game."
As such, he welcomed the revamped rules for five and six year olds.
"To get the kids involved and make it really inclusive for all, it's not about competitiveness at that level," he said.
"It's about getting out there and enjoying the game for what it is and if the rule changes are going to help that I'd be all for it 100 per cent."
Co-host of Channel Nine's 'The Footy Show', Erin Molan, also welcomed the changes and the particular benefit they could have for young girls.
"I think it's fantastic – anything that makes it easier for kids to play and encourages kids to play rugby league because they are our future," Molan told NRL.com.
"Whether or not they turn into NRL superstars, who knows, it doesn't matter – it's about getting them active, getting them fit, and enjoying a game that we all love and they probably love watching on TV and just letting them have a go themselves."
It is critical, now that there are stronger pathways for female players, to keep them involved at the early stages, Molan added.
"You've got to get them at 6s and 7s and get them in and get them to fall in love with the game," she said.
"The rule changes make it more free flowing, you can score more tries and that's what kids love to see.
"You look at television, that's the exciting part of the game, when someone scores a try and they're running around and screaming and laughing and having fun.
"It's really important to get them early because now we do have pathways for women… this is what we need so that we can one day have a competition for women that will be professional." | 2019-04-23T22:17:14 | https://www.nrl.com/news/2016/11/27/new-junior-rules-also-a-boon-for-womens-game/ |

A soon-to-be-open restaurant in Berlin, Germany has began advertising. Although it hasn't yet divulge its address or telephone number, it has revealed its menu -- human flesh.
In a prominent advertising campaign on the internet, in German newspapers and on television, the restaurant, Flime, is appealing for willing donors and diners to become members of what it hints at being a new dining movement. "Members declare themselves willing to donate any part of their body," the advertisement reads, adding that any resulting hospital costs will be taken on by the restaurant. They say they are also looking to employ an "open-minded surgeon". The location of the restaurant – if it exists – is being kept a secret, as is the identity of the owners and investors behind it. As a foretaste of its menu, Flime is suggesting traditional Brazilian dishes such as bolinho, which it describes as "fried tatar balls with a sweet-sour dip", or feijoada, a main course consisting of "various pieces of meat with black beans and rice". It does not specify what type of meat is used. The restaurant cites as its inspiration the indigenous Brazilian Waricaca tribe, which once practised the ritual of "compassionate cannibalism", or eating parts of the corpse of a loved one to emphasise the connection between the living and the dead, which was said to help with mourning.
Everything takes like chicken, especially with battered and deep-fried and dipped in sweet-and-sour sauce, right? No? Well, we're not interested in finding out and we're keeping our asses out of Germany! Until the government swoops down and shutters the cannibal restaurant, that is. | 2019-04-21T12:44:43 | http://wendyista.blogspot.com/2010/08/cannibal-restaurant-to-open-in-germany.html |
I need to reinstall C::B and all the recent nightly builds for Ubuntu seem to be offline. I checked back until a month ago or so. Please do something about it. It's bad enough that there's only a nightly for Linux every few days but now I can't install it at all. I'm a freelance developer and I have to work with C::B daily, so basically this means I can't work at all right now.
Never mind, the download for 31 August works. But still it's odd that most of the other downloads are missing.
Try the following link for more regular updates. Pasgui prepares and publishes Ubuntu nightlies in that link.
... so basically this means I can't work at all right now.
You make software right? Stands to reason you know how to compile it. If the stuff really hits the fan you can take a few minutes to run "./bootstrap", "./configure", "make" and "sudo make install". If you have never done this before it will probably take you several hours to sort out. But if you already have wxgtk dev package and automake+autoconf it really is a simple as those 4 commands. | 2019-04-20T22:13:23 | http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=7085.0 |
Damage of property or any asset can be dangerous as well as very, very expensive to repair. A property damage liability is a term that is used in connection with such assets that have been damaged and are covered by liability insurance.
It so happens that, at times accidents are caused as a result of human negligence. Auto accidents due to drunk driving or improper services, are some cases where property damage is caused as a result of human negligence. The party responsible for the damage in such a case is termed as the 'party at fault', and in court of law, he is termed as 'defendant'. The party who has suffered from damages and is injured is known as the 'injured party', and in the court of law, he is known as the 'plaintiff'. In the court proceedings, if the plaintiff is able to prove that the damages have been caused as a result of human negligence, then the defendant or the party at fault has to pay a particular amount (which has been prescribed by the court of law) to the injured party, as a compensation for the damages caused. This payment becomes a liability for the defendant and is hence, termed as a property damage liability. | 2019-04-23T02:32:58 | https://wealthhow.com/property-damage-liability |

By 283 A.D., Rome was in a ruinous state. When a century of peace, prosperity and growth — the “Pax Romana” — came to an end with Marcus Aurelius, what was left of the ancient virtues — honor, selflessness, service, moderation, practicality — evaporated. There was political chaos, economic collapse and ruinous inflation; the once-mighty “solidus” lost 98 percent of its value. The end, it seemed, was near.
Except it wasn’t. In 284 a former general seized control with what amounted to a pledge to “Make Rome Great Again.” He commenced reforms that, although they seemed good ideas at the time, sealed Rome’s fate in the West.
Diocletian froze people in their parents’ occupations. He initiated wage and price controls, blaming “detestable profit seeking” rather than overspending and mismanagement for Rome’s economic woes. And he levied crushing taxes on everyone.
Particularly hard-hit were the Decurions: the rural gentry who often became city officials and by this time were the foundation of Rome’s government everywhere outside the largest cities. In the Republic, these men accepted responsibility for certain public projects — baths and reliable water supplies, for example. They did this both out of a sense of civic responsibility and for the honor it conferred — and for goodwill, which often translated into support for higher office.
But by the mid-fourth century, the burden was unbearable. In 377, Decurions were ordered to support construction projects formerly paid for by the central government. In 384 the Emperor demanded all pay their “fair share” for building ports, aqueducts, roads and other “infrastructure.” By 396 the cost of building and maintaining fortifications was distributed among “all landowners” and Decurions were given financial responsibility for social welfare — food, housing, entertainments and the like. It was a burden that would bankrupt any who undertook it, but by then none were willing to try.
Most hid their wealth or left collapsing urban centers for self-sufficient country estates. Others abandoned their loyalty to Rome, deserting to the Goths, Franks or others. They may not have been as cultured or wealthy as Latins and they were unpredictable, but the security they provided cost significantly less.
So when Aleric the Visigoth sacked Rome in 410, he crushed an empty shell. Rome in the West disappeared because the class of people on which it had relied for 800 years and more for survival no longer thought it was worth their time, their effort, their blood and treasure. It took the West a millennium to recover.
The foregoing is for those who think they have nothing to learn from history. In fact, history has invaluable information about government overspending and confiscatory taxation: Above a certain level they are ruinous. They may take time but — as a drop of arsenic a day will not kill a man immediately — if continuous the result is certainly fatal.
Our national government has a familiar tripartite financial problem: burgeoning national debt due to many decades of unpaid bills; a tax system badly needing reform; want of money for a variety of necessary projects. And the clock is ticking. During the Obama years, low interest rates held down the cost of debt service. That will end — and our circumstances will be further straightened.
Reforming the tax system is central to resolving these problems. But by “reform,” we cannot simply focus on our equivalent of Rome’s Decurions, for obvious reasons: If they fly, taking their money with them, to whom will avaricious bureaucrats turn? Instead, we should argue from utility — since everyone enjoys the security and “domestic tranquility” the national government supposedly provides, everyone should pay for it. Perhaps a truly universal income tax, without exemptions, write-offs, favors or deductions would provide better revenue and spark more interest in how our money is disposed. Or, if we really must have deductions, choose five things the state must encourage. When our solons have determined by bloody battle which those are, discard two.
We must also control spending. A constitutional amendment to create a balanced budget used to seem overkill — but in the past couple decades there has been no sense of responsibility from either Republicans or Democrats so perhaps it’s time to admit that we are out-of-control spendaholics and sign up for rehab.
None of this will be fun. It will require sacrifice. It will draw howls of anguish from groups accustomed to handouts for life and from the politicians who rely on their dependent clients for re-election. But the alternative is a slow, steady and certain evaporation of the Republic, starting with the disappearance of the class that pays most of the bills. We have no special dispensation from suffering the same end as other great states in history, including Rome; indeed, without immediate, sustained effort our fate will be the same as theirs.
Time to put aside willful ignorance, and begin. | 2019-04-19T11:22:58 | https://www.summitdaily.com/news/liddick-make-rome-great-again-column/ |

Henry Ford, the renowned entrepreneur, engineer and businessman, was born in Michigan in 1863. After receiving only an elementary education, he became a technician in the Detroit industry. As soon as the Germans Daimler and Benz started to release the first automobiles to the market -circa 1885- Ford became interested in the invention and began to build his own prototypes. However, he failed at his first attempts.
He was not successful until his third business venture, launched in 1903: the Ford Motor Company. The factory produced simple, affordable automobiles for the American middle class. Until then, the automobile had been an artisanally fabricated object and its cost was prohibitive, meant for a very limited audience. With his Model T, introduced in 1905, Ford made the automobile affordable enough to middle class American families, introducing them into an age of mass consumption. It altered drastically the way of life and work and physiognomy of the cities, thus starting the “automobile civilization” of the 20th century.
Ford’s key to success was his process to reduce manufacturing costs: serial production, also known as Fordism. Said method, inspired by the work mode of the slaughterhouses in Detroit, was simply the setup of an assembly line with belts and slideways that would automatically move the car’s chassis to different spots, where successive groups of operators would perform different tasks on it until the car was assembled.
This exchangeable parts system, which had been tested long ago in factories of weapons and clocks, would lower the production costs and repairs via product standardization.
The manufacturing chain with which Ford revolutionized the automobile industry was a risky bet, since it would only be viable if it found a demand capable of absorbing its massive production. The size of the American market offered a suitable scenario, though Ford also studied correctly the purchasing power of the average American man, as the gates of the consumer society were opening.
As long as that demand existed, the production line would contribute to avoid time losses, since the workers did not have to move from one side of the factory to another. Each operation was compartmentalized in a succession of mechanical and repetitive tasks, with which the technical or artisanal qualifications of the workers were no longer valuable. The industry could then take advantage of the unskilled labor from the immigrants that arrived en masse to the United States every year.
The cost of training the workforces decreased, as the skilling of the workforce eliminated the uncomfortable protest activities of worker unions, based on the professional qualifications of its members, which were the only unions with a considerable strength in the United States at that time.
At the same time, the top executives of the company would enforce a strict control over the workers’ pace, regulated by the speed with which the supply chain would function. In the meantime, the reduction of costs allowed Ford to raise the salaries of his workers, way above what was normal in the North American industry back then. With his famous $5 a day wage he ensured a satisfied and peaceful workforce, to which he could impose strict behavioral rules inside and outside of the factory, surveying their private lives through a “sociology department”. The workers of the Ford Company managed to get, thanks to their high salaries, onto the threshold of the middle classes, thus becoming potential consumers of products like the automobiles that Ford sold. A complete social transformation would appear and operate in the United States with the adoption of these entrepreneurial methods.
The success, in sales, of the Ford T -which sold about 15 million units total- turned its inventor into one of the wealthiest men in the world, and the Ford Motor Company into one of the biggest industrial corporations of our time. Faithful to his ideas about competition and free market, he did not try to monopolize his findings regarding corporate organization. Instead he tried to make them as public as possible. As a consequence, it was not long before competition surged within the automobile industry, and soon his innovative manufacturing processes extended to other sectors and countries, therefore opening up a new age in industrial history.
Henry Ford, on the contrary, reoriented his efforts towards other causes, in which he was less successful. First he failed in his pacifist efforts against the First World War, and later on he organized less noble campaigns like the anti-semitic propaganda that he spread in the 1920s or the fight against organized unions in the 1930s. Ford passed away in 1947. | 2019-04-18T21:17:56 | https://patrickjdwyer.wordpress.com/2016/02/25/ford-not-the-first-but-definitely-one-of-the-best/ |

Welcome to London’s only Opera Restaurant.
Fine French food in a warm and intimate dining room, served by our fantastic singing waiters. Our professional opera singers have been trained at some of the most prestigious conservatoires and academies in the world and will be happy to share the stories and history behind each aria they sing. While you listen, you can enjoy our wonderful French cuisine prepared by Head Chef Gilles Martin.
The performance starts at 7:30 and our singers will sing a range of solo, duet and group arias every 15 minutes. We ask that all our guests please respect our singers and refrain from talking through the performances, so that this beautiful music can be enjoyed by everyone.
The concept for Bel Canto was born in the late 1990s. Musician and music lover Jacques de la Bussiere suffered from a serious disease which resulted in the loss of 90% of his hearing. Although he could no longer play the piano or the drums, M. de la Bussiere refused to give up his love of music. When he began using hearing aids, he realised the human voice could never be truly captured by electronic means, and inspiration struck. He was going to commit himself to the promotion of the art of opera, and give people the opportunity to enjoy the wonders of the human voice up close and personal.
With his friend, professional gourmand Jean-Paul Maurel, he decided to re-invent an experience which had not been seen for many years – the tradition of enjoying world class live opera, in close proximity to the singers themselves, while simultaneously savouring wonderful food.
No draughty amphitheatres here, and no opera glasses needed, this was to be a warm, welcoming, intimate setting, and the singers were to be cherry-picked from among the most promising new talent from Paris’s musical academies, conservatories, and opera schools. The goal? “Faire rêver, offrir une scène voire un tremplin à ces jeunes talents.” (“To enable dreams and provide a stage for young talent.”) Selected with the help of a professional opera singer, they soon had their first team.
Decorative costumes were acquired from a 1999 auction organised by the Opéra National de Paris, and a beautiful venue was found in Paris’s Marais area, on the banks of the Seine. The first branch was opened in the year 2000, soon followed by the Neuilly restaurant 2004, and our own London branch in 2008.
Bel Canto has a vibrant history of passion, hard-work, and vision, all underscored by a sincere love of opera and gastronomy and we hope you will come to experience this with us – at any one of our restaurants – very soon! | 2019-04-23T12:12:53 | https://www.belcantolondon.co.uk/about/ |
The one day Advanced Healthcare Mediation Training that Jane Conard and Jeanne Franklin presented in February for the American Health Lawyers Association was extremely successful. The class consisted of members of different healthcare sectors (health lawyers, physicians, nurse-attorneys, ethicists and professors) who contributed to the liveliness and relevance of the discussions. We focused on practicing specific skills in a range of common healthcare disputes. Stay tuned for future training opportunities, and for further developments in the AHLA ADR Service regarding mediation services.
Jeanne Franklin will make a presentation on healthcare dispute resolution at the Virginia Mediation Network Spring Conference (March 19-20) in Richmond, Virginia. As in the AHLA training, she will bring up specific conflict scenarios for analysis by audience members.

Sometimes you just have to take the plunge, and last night was *THAT* time. After procrastinating for so long about changing over the main PC in the Skyhawk sim, I decided to just do it, and figure it all out as I went along.
First step was to fire up the sim in it’s current state, to say farewell.. I was going to go for a fly, but with my motivation levels at a high point, and not wanting to get distracted I decided to just take a couple of final photos then rip into it.
The PC swap-out wasn’t too big of a deal, but running and sorting cables was… One day I will just rip all of this mess out and start again with cut-to-length cabling..
With the PC in place it was a case of figuring out what needed to be re-connected, and what wouldn’t work. So far the list of ‘wont work’ things is short; can’t connect my MIP monitor, due to the new PC only having one analogue output, and can’t connect my **seriously* old DB9 COM cable… which runs ACCIS.
SO, PC in, fired up, windows updates done.. time to fire up DCS and see what happens. Of course, DCS needed updates.. many many updates, like 5Gb’s worth.
But finally, we got there! Nothing mapped, and only the stick <sort of> working but it flew.. and looks awesome!
Tonight I hope to start mapping some of the cockpit switches, and maybe define what I want to be able to do in the sim, at least in the short term. | 2019-04-25T09:52:37 | http://ta4ksim.com/2019/03/20/what-a-night/ |
Beautifully turned and finished barrel. Built and shipped in under the estimated time frame. Won't have a chance to build an upper using it for a couple months, but I'm very impressed with the raw parts. | 2019-04-18T17:25:31 | https://craddockprecision.com/224-valkyrie-criterion-7t/ |
