Wonder what the failing of a nonprofit board's duty of loyalty can look like?
One of the best examples I've seen is described in detail in the following Chicago Tribune story. And, as a refresher, the most common failing of the duty of loyalty is conflict of interest -- that is, when board members make decisions that take advantage of their position as a board member and result in personal material gain. If there's a case for failing their conflict of interest, this is it. For shame, for shame, for shame!!!
College of DuPage Trustee Dianne McGuire shows President Robert Breuder a newspaper clip before a special board meeting in January. McGuire has pushed for competitive bidding for college contracts.
Tribune: College of DuPage Foundation's board members have business ties to the school worth $200 million.
Who are top donors to College of DuPage? The official fundraisers who also billed it for $200M in business.
Officials at the College of DuPage have a long list of items to turn over to federal investigators by next week, including a trove of documents related to contracts with companies tied to board members for the school's fundraising foundation.
Here's what those records will show: Nearly half of the College of DuPage Foundation's 22 most recent board members are executives at companies doing business with the publicly funded school, and many of those companies have been awarded jobs without going through a competitive selection process, according to a Tribune investigation.
Those businesses have billed the college for nearly $200 million since July 2010 — while also ranking among the foundation's most generous donors. The Tribune's investigation, examining many of the same documents now being sought by federal authorities, raises questions about the confluence of business dealings and fundraising at the state's largest community college.
The foundation contracts are the latest legal and public relations battle for the Glen Ellyn school, which was served with two grand jury subpoenas this week as part of a federal criminal investigation. Since January, the school has been under fire for giving its president one of the largest buyout packages in state history, lavish spending by top administrators and its lax financial oversight.
A review of board minutes, emails and an audio recording shows that some school trustees raised foundation-related concerns more than a year ago. But President Robert Breuder repeatedly resisted calls for a more open contracting policy.
"I thought here in Illinois especially, even the appearance of pay-to-play or conflict of interest is dangerous," college Trustee Dianne McGuire said in an audio recording of a December 2013 board meeting.
McGuire, the board's liaison to the foundation, pushed for a more competitive selection process and suggested at that meeting that, based on an earlier conversation with Breuder, he agreed.
He didn't, the recording shows.
"I never weighed in," said Breuder, now also a target of the federal investigation. "I didn't go either way. I just sat there."
"I have to assume that at some point you saw there was some validity to what I was saying," McGuire replied.
"No," Breuder answered firmly. "It was an easy way to satisfy an interest that you had."
It's now an interest shared by federal prosecutors. The college has been ordered to provide documents showing all payments, reimbursements, contracts or loans between the college and foundation board members and their businesses, according to grand jury subpoenas obtained by the Tribune. The subpoenas also ask for documentation of any bids the companies submitted, their professional qualifications, and any efforts made to ensure the work was competitively awarded.
Including two members who resigned from the board this month, 10 of the foundation's 22 board members do business with the school, according to documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. Of those 10, nine have received non-competitive deals for a variety of business, including construction management, legal representation and political lobbying, the records show.
Nothing more than pay to play the Chicago way.
The businesses, meanwhile, all have donated generously over the years to the college's foundation. In fiscal year 2014, each company — or the foundation board member employed by the company — gave at least $5,000, putting them in the President's Circle, the highest level of annual giving, according to the foundation's annual report. Three companies are also part of the Presidential Society, an honor bestowed upon those who have given $100,000 or more over a lifetime.
College and foundation officials met with the Tribune on Monday, before the revelation of the federal investigation. In a lengthy interview, they defended the relationships because in all but one case, they said, the contracts were awarded before the company employees joined the board. The foundation-connected vendors all joined the board between 2010 and 2014.
Records show, however, companies tied to at least seven board members received contract renewals, extensions or increases, or new business, after their executives joined the board.
Many of the jobs did not have to be competitively bid because they involve professional services, one of the few exemptions under the state's procurement laws, or because the college already had a "satisfactory relationship" with the company, according to the officials.
"These people were contracted long before and became good friends of the college because they became involved in the mission. They are community and business leaders," said Catherine Brod, the foundation's executive director.
Still, critics have said there is at least an appearance of impropriety.
"All of the transactions are completely legal if conducted at arm's length, but the pattern is troubling," said Adam Andrzejewski, founder of the watchdog group For the Good of Illinois and an outspoken critic of the college's spending.
The nonprofit foundation serves as the college's fundraising arm, and while it is legally separate from the college, the school pays foundation employees' salaries and provides them office space. Foundation board members don't get paid.
According to the foundation's annual report, it gave away over $452,000 in scholarship money to more than 600 students last school year. It also awarded more than $130,000 to support faculty and staff projects.
"The people who are on our board are really very involved with their time. They are passionate about the college," said foundation board President Susan Lang Berry.
Board members are asked to donate at least $1,000 a year and make the foundation one of their top three charities, Berry said.
Community colleges nationwide have rules regarding vendor agreements between the schools and foundation board members, from policies prohibiting them to using conflict-of-interest statements to make the business dealings transparent. The College of DuPage Foundation's conflict of interest policy does not address board members' business dealings with the college, but cautions "most conflicts fall into a gray area where ethics and public perception are more relevant than statutes or precedents."
"Loss of public confidence and a damaged reputation are the most likely results of poorly managed conflict of interest," the policy adds.
Taken together, foundation-connected companies have billed the school for nearly $200 million in the past five years, records show. The companies include two construction firms, Chicago-based Power Construction Co. and Minnesota-based Mortenson Construction Co.; two local law firms, Robbins Schwartz and Fuchs & Roselli; lobbyist Scott Marquardt; architectural firm Wight & Co.; project management firm CCS International; and signage company Herricane Graphics.
U.S. Bank, which has a representative on the board, pays $1,500 a month to operate the only bank branch on campus, a noncompetitive deal approved by trustees in October 2012. The bank's Chicago market president, Marsha Cruzan, has served on the school's foundation since July 2010.
St. Charles-based Bison Gear & Engineering also has done a small amount of business with the college, selling $7,550 worth of equipment in the past year. A foundation official said Bison Chairman Ronald Bullock — a foundation member who donated $275,000 for student scholarships last year — would not have been aware of such a minor transaction at his company.
The companies and their foundation-connected representatives either did not return calls seeking comment or deferred most questions to the college.
Amid the Tribune's reporting, college attorneys Kenneth Florey, of Robbins Schwartz, and Steven Ruffalo, of Fuchs & Roselli, stepped down from the foundation board, citing personal and business reasons. Payments to their firms are included in the Tribune's analysis because they were sitting board members until earlier this month.
The college declined to provide contracts signed before July 2010 and didn't release any records until a Tribune attorney intervened. Officials also would not provide records showing proposals from those companies, though the officials contend all went through a competitive process before their first deal with the school. The vast majority of the payments were for construction work as the college has built or significantly renovated a number of buildings since Breuder became president in 2009.
A review of more than 900 pages of invoices, contracts and board minutes shows that the college has paid more than $192 million in the past five years to Mortenson Construction and Power Construction. The two companies have spearheaded projects funded by a successful referendum in fall 2010, when voters approved a $168 million measure to expand the campus' homeland security education center and renovate other buildings.
College officials say the $192 million figure is misleading because it includes payments that passed through the construction companies to other contractors. They also said the amount includes both construction management fees — which were not competitively awarded — as well as construction work for which the companies submitted bids.
School officials declined a Tribune request to provide an itemized accounting of the payments made to Mortenson and Power. Both companies deferred questions to the college, which argued that no quid pro quo existed because neither firm had a seat on the foundation board until last year.
Though the foundation does not provide detailed information about contributions, records show the foundation-connected construction companies are among the largest lifetime donors to the group. Both Mortenson and Power have donated at least $50,000 each over the years, according to the organization's annual report. Mortenson — which served as construction manager for the McAninch Arts Center renovations — also donated $50,000 last year to be the "platinum sponsor" of the building's re-opening celebration.
The firms also have contributed financially in other ways.
In 2010, the two contributed to a political action committee started by college administrators to help promote the building referendum. Mortenson gave $5,000, and Power employees contributed $10,000 of the $65,000 raised in total, according to state campaign records.
Eight months after the referendum's passage, school trustees awarded both companies construction management contracts.
"You have this culture of pinstripe patronage," said Chicago attorney Mark Stern, who raised questions about the political action committee during the referendum campaign. "People are contributing money to the people making the decisions."
There have been signs that trustees and law enforcement officials have begun to recognize potential problems with the procurement system. Before the federal investigation, DuPage County prosecutors began looking into no-bid contracts awarded to Herricane owner Carla Burkhart, who joined the foundation board in June 2012.
The Tribune recently reported that Burkhart has billed more than $630,000 to design and install signs for the school over the past four years without submitting a single competitive bid, including a new project awarded in 2014. Much of the work was made possible through a contract that references her experience as an architect, though she is not one.
McGuire — who is spearheading a board review of foundation-connected contracts — said in the interview Monday that she now feels comfortable with the existing deals after the college recently compiled statistics showing the fees were within industry standards. She also applauded a recent decision to bid an architectural contract for a new Naperville facility.
A new vendor won that job.
She said she intends to recommend that the college seek proposals from several companies before agreeing to professional service contracts in the future.
"I don't want to make it a mandatory process," she said. "I think we want to leave some flexibility in place, but definitely encourage that."
Although McGuire had been rebuffed by Breuder in December 2013, emails last fall show she continued to push for an open and competitive contracting process.
"If a foundation board member is also a vendor of the college, then the board of trustees must be assured that any contracts they receive must be shown to be competitive with other similar service providers," she wrote in an October 2014 email to Breuder. "(O)therwise, it has the appearance of pay to play ... we must be able to defend that contract if questioned."
Breuder replied that the college had no legal obligation to bid contracts awarded to foundation members.
When McGuire asked what harm could be done by a competitive process, Breuder ended the discussion.
"I am comfortable where we are," he wrote. "That said, we can always look at another step at times. We will rely on our good judgment."
Two months later — at McGuire's urging — the college board approved a new competitive contract for lobbying services. Foundation member Scott Marquardt had handled the college's lobbying efforts since 2010, and had joined the foundation board in July 2012.
The college had been paying him $5,000 per month under several non-competitive contracts.
But, when it came time to renew the deal last year, the school solicited proposals from 33 lobbying firms.
In the end, Marquardt submitted the only proposal, but he lowered his price to $4,500 a month — saving the college $6,000 a year.

You can make all alike, or you can have several different kinds of topping ready, and let the imagination set the guidelines. It is great for a lunch, dinner, midnight or any time snack. I think the only meal I haven't made these for, is breakfast. But now that it's mentioned, why not!
Set the fajitas on a cookie sheet.

A large, brand-new movie studio in Palm Beach County already has a potential box-office hit.
Twentieth Century Fox will film interior scenes for Speed II, sequel to the popular 1994 action movie, in the 20,000-square-foot sound stage at Palm Beach Ocean Studios in West Palm Beach, the studio's chief executive said on Thursday.
"I said when we opened in April we'd be lucky to get something in here by September," said Thorpe Shuttleworth, president and developer of the 42,000-square-foot studio at the Vista Center on Okeechobee Boulevard, west of Florida's Turnpike.
"And now we've got a high-budget action-adventure feature. Yes, that's a coup," he said.
Speed II will star Sandra Bullock, making a return appearance in the sequel, and Jason Patric, who is taking over the role played by Keanu Reeves in the original, according to Variety, the movie industry's trade publication.
Speed II will help get the studio's name out among film producers, said Chuck Eldred, executive director of the county's Film and Television Commission.
Eldred pushed for the county to give Shuttleworth $208,000 in job growth incentives.
"This is exactly what we needed to attract this kind of attention here," Eldred said.
And the studio is benefiting from the increased attention being paid to South Florida by Hollywood producers after recent films such as The Birdcage and Striptease, Shuttleworth said.
The film's producers will hire extra cast members in Florida, and other technical support workers may be hired locally as well.
Film industry publications estimate the cost of making Speed II at $40 million to $70 million.
The movie's producers toured the studio in April and have been working there since Monday. Sets are under construction in preparation for filming later this year. | 2019-04-21T18:29:45Z | https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1996-07-19-9607180520-story.html |

There is a great diversity of inequalities in our world.
But let's focus on inequalities among states at this international global level.
among states which are less or more powerful.
social inequalities, natural inequalities and so on.
These inequalities can be considered trough the concept of human security.
cultural security, economic security, individual security.
And these securities are more or less achieved.
Let's give the priority to the food security, why?
causing also political, social and economic instability.
which are also working for the other insecurities.
About food security, let's first forget some commonplaces.

That is probably something really efficient.
900 million starving people in the world.
however, the global population is increasing.
That is apparently the evidence that the situation has improved.
In proportion, starvation is fortunately decreasing.
by now currently 6,000,000 people die of starvation per year.
with very severe nutritive deficiencies.
And last point, starvation changes, formerly it was rural.
Now it's more and more urban.
that starvation in rural societies didn't have.
And starvation is more and more centered on one continent.
That's to say, on Africa.
three remarks, very important remarks, to make.
First of all, starvation, hunger, are economic problems.
That's to say the main factor of starvation is to be found in poverty.
70%, 90% of the family budget for food.
If the price of food is increasing they have just to reduce their own consumption.
but it's also as my second point, a poverty problem.
to the misconception of global public policies.
But it's also a systematic problem.
in the ways of consuming in northern, developed countries.
Let's now focus on these factors of hunger in our present world.
why our global world is not working well.
The first one is, as I mentioned, overconsumption in northern countries.
That's to say inequality ladies and gentlemen.

a regression of farmlands in developing countries.
which is pushing away farmlands out of the main places of urbanization.

the main factor of development and of reducing starvation.
Seventh factor, maybe the more critical, is speculation.
20% within two weeks in 2007.
we can imagine the consequences of this.
But the problem with that is the price is decreasing, the risk is the same.
That's to say, in this case, small producers are ruined.
aggravation of, and worsening, of this situation.
Solutions are very difficult to find.
But however, however, some countries could do the job.

In this Sept. 1, 2014 photo released by the U.S. Geological Survey, fluid lava streams from the June 27 lava flow from the Kilauea volcano in Pahoa, Hawaii. The June 27 lava flow is named for the date it began erupting from a new vent. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory issued a warning Thursday, Sept. 4, 2014 to a rural community in the path of a lava flow on Hawaii's Big Island, as the molten rock moved to within a mile of homes. Observatory scientists said lava from the Kilauea volcano could reach the Kaohe Homesteads in five to seven days if it continues advancing through cracks in the earth.
PAHOA, Hawaii — Lava from one of the world's most active volcanos has been advancing at a slower pace the past few days and is now moving parallel to a sparsely populated subdivision on Hawaii's Big Island.
Lava from Kilauea volcano was still at least a mile from any homes in Kaohe Homesteads, Hawaii County Civil Defense Director Darryl Oliveira said.
Oliveira took a helicopter flight over the area Monday and saw the lava had crept about 150 yards from the previous day. It's moving north for now but could still stop or change directions.
"It's been doing that for the last several days," he said of its northern pull. Prior to Friday, it was going northeast toward the subdivision.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory has warned the lava could reach the subdivision in a matter of days.
Oliveira said he didn't anticipate issuing an evacuation order Monday. But residents should be prepared because it's difficult to predict the lava's movement. It was also raining over the flow site, he noted, which meant there wasn't a wildfire threat.
"That's good for today," he said. "But it doesn't get us out of any potential threat down the road. It just means it's going to be a very slow process."
The lava warning has created an "edgy" mood in Puna, the rural region on the southeast side of the Big Island that is at risk from the lava, said Bill Parecki, a real estate agent who has lived in the area for 42 years. The area is still recovering from the damage from a tropical storm about a month ago.
"Everybody's a little concerned," he said. "Everybody's a little worried. We just have to see where the lava goes. There's no control. It's Mother Nature."
A big concern is lava crossing roads and blocking Puna off from the rest of the island, or becoming "lava-locked," he said.
Business has been quiet since Tropical Storm Iselle made landfall over the region last month, said Mary Bicknell, owner of Big Island Book Buyers, a bookstore in downtown Pahoa.

How Is a Reference Bible Different From a Study Bible?
Written objectives for vocabulary lessons provide students with the desired outcomes in advance of each lesson plan or activity. This helps students focus on the key vocabulary skills and information you want them to learn from the lesson. Objectives also help you construct more complex lessons and activities based on a concise plan.
Learning objectives should be written in a concise manner. Begin each objective with a stem that places the student in the lesson or activity, such as "By the end of this lesson, the student will..." Next, include an active verb that the students will perform, such as "learn" or "understand." Finally, define the vocabulary objective that students are to grasp by the end of the lesson.
Include information that is specific to the vocabulary lesson or activity. If the lesson incorporates material from a reading assignment, reference information from the text in the learning objective so students can properly utilize their texts. For writing assignments and other activities, include specific vocabulary knowledge that students are expected to learn in each activity. Specific details create a clear definition of the lesson plan. This helps students focus and apply their studies.
Include new words that students will learn from the lesson, such as "preposition" or "predicate." Many students may not know these vocabulary words in advance. Including them in the lesson plan objective highlights these words for students so that they have a list of keywords to pay special attention to. This also gives students an easy way to look up unknown words that are not defined in the lesson plan so that they can understand the lesson or activity.
An example of a vocabulary learning objective dealing with a phonetics activity might be "In this activity, the student will learn and practice the proper pronunciation of 10 vocabulary words." For lectures and reading assignments, highlight the information students are to learn, as in this objective: "After this lesson, the student will understand the eight parts of speech and how they function." For worksheet activities, make the objective specific to the action to be completed, such as with this objective: "In this exercise, the student will circle the correct verb from the given choices to properly complete each sentence."

There’s no denying that turtlenecks fall under the category of trickier tops to wear. But when it comes to covering up, sometimes more layers mean more style. Throw away your misconception that this cold-weather staple is unflattering. It’s chic, clean & slimming. Paired with the right layers & accessories (or none at all), this versatile piece gets a check for “cool” in our book. Here’s how to style this timeless top.
Pair a classic knit turtleneck in a solid dark color like navy, black or grey with a contrasting pant in crisp white or cream. Don’t have white trousers or jeans? A pair of khaki chinos or even light-wash jeans will do the trick too.
Stylist Tip: Surprise, you can wear a necklace with a turtleneck. Try pairing long, delicate chains to create an interesting, elongated neckline.
An ultra-chic pairing: a turtleneck & blazer. Not only does the neckline peeking under the collar of your blazer give you instant street-style cred, but it adds dimension to your look. No accessories needed! Just throw on boyfriend jeans, booties & a crossbody satchel for a carefree yet polished look.
Stylist Tip: The key here is to wear a turtleneck in a fine, lightweight knit. That way, you can alternate between wearing it on its own (at a restaurant, per se) to layering it under jackets (once you step outside).
As we’ve stated, the turtleneck is effortlessly sleek. But, if you’re looking to up your style ante, take it tonal for an instantly office-approved outfit. For a twist, try navy. It’s less severe than black (although we love all-black everything), but it maintains the city-inspired look you’re going for.
Stylist Tip: Going all-over tonal? Try a pair of neutral heels. They will elongate your silhouette & keep your style simple & elegant.
Do you dare hop on this trend and wear a turtleneck? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below! | 2019-04-20T01:29:49Z | https://www.stitchfix.com/women/blog/trends/how-to-wear-turtlenecks/ |
Bengaluru — Gold prices rose on Thursday as the growing expectation that the US Federal Reserve will pause its rate tightening cycle in 2019 and an impasse between US President Donald Trump and Democrats on funding for a border wall weighed on the dollar.
Spot gold was up 0.2% at $1,295.85/oz as of 4.36am GMT, hovering near Friday’s peak of $1,298.42 — a level last seen in mid-June.
US gold futures gained 0.4% to $1,297.2/oz.
Minutes from the Fed’s December 18-19 policy meeting showed that several policymakers said they could be patient about future interest rate hikes and a few did not support the central bank's rate increase that month.
“Gold is getting a bit of support out of a dovish Fed and institutional instability in the US,” said Kyle Rodda, a market analyst at IG, Australia.
“We have got the markets pricing in the possibility of a Fed rate cut rather than a hike in the year ahead,” Rodda said, adding that the Fed minutes gave the dollar a bit of a “kick down” and there were chances for gold prices to break the $1,300 level with the present sentiment.
The dollar index, which tracks the greenback against major currencies, hit its lowest level in nearly three months.
Gold prices are highly sensitive to declining interest rates, which decrease the opportunity cost of holding the nonyielding bullion while pressuring the dollar.
Meanwhile, Trump walked out of talks with Democratic congressional leaders on Wednesday over funding for a border wall with Mexico and reopening the government, saying the meeting in the White House was “a total waste of time”.
Asian equities took a breather after an extended rally, as markets awaited more news on US-China trade talks that have raised the hope of a deal to avert an all-out trade war between the economic giants.
China’s commerce ministry said on Thursday that trade talks between Washington and Beijing were progressing, but gave no details on the issues at stake.
“With the government shutdown still far from resolved and Chinese trade talks just partly concluded, we are not sure that the turbulence in the equity markets is over just yet,” INTL FCStone analyst Edward Meir said in a note.
Holdings in the world’s largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund (ETF), SPDR Gold Trust, rose 0.33% to 799.18 tons on Wednesday.
Among other precious metals, silver was flat at $15.75/oz.
Palladium fell 0.5% to $1,320.50/oz. It scaled a record high of $1,342.43 on Wednesday after a Chinese official said the government was contemplating policies to increase domestic buying of cars.
Platinum inched up 0.1% to $825.60. | 2019-04-21T12:31:23Z | https://www.businesslive.co.za/bd/markets/2019-01-10-feds-more-dovish-stance-lifts-gold/ |

1 in 3 people in the UK take a supplement of one kind or another, and those with ill health are high on the list. The most popular supplements are multi-vitamins containing anti-oxidants closely followed by Vitamin C. Claims range from helping stave off Alzheimer’s, Arthritis and Cancers to actually prolonging life which, if true, make them more potent than most drugs yet supplements are not regulated in the same way as drugs – in fact, they’re not regulated at all.
I watched a fascinating BBC Horizon documentary last Thursday night called ‘Vitamin Pills: Miracle or Myth’ which looked at 60 years of research into Vitamin supplements and it made for interesting, and at times worrying, viewing. It started off by measuring the vitamins and minerals in the blood of 3 people of differing ages, sexes and diets. One was a female student who had an addiction to Curly Fries and admitted she ate like crap. The other was a 30-something female yoga teacher who ate a ‘healthy’ diet with loads of fresh fruit and veg and very little processed food, and the third was the reporter, a middle aged Chinese man who loved takeaways washed down with a beer. When measured, all three had the recommended levels of vitamins and minerals in their bodies…………….well, all except the woman with the ‘healthy’ diet who was ironically lacking in iron. For the most part we are all getting enough nutrients from our food, whatever kind of diet we follow.
There are, however, groups of people who may need supplementation. If you are housebound or your working life means you spend hardly any time outdoors you will probably need a Vitamin D supplement. If you are a female teenager or female adult with heavy periods you may need an iron supplement. If you are pregnant you should take a folic acid supplement, and if you have any kind of dietary restrictions, eg. Coeliac Disease, you may need extra help. But, on the whole, most of us are getting enough, or more than enough, vitamins and minerals from our food. I haven’t eaten meat for 25 years yet only became deficient in iron when a) I had to change my diet due to my Histamine Intolerance and b) this coincided with heavier periods due to the peri-menopause. All my other levels, including B12, have always been either good or excellent.
The whole ‘free radical/oxidative stress’ argument for taking anti-oxidants was started by one researcher in the 1950s. He discovered that exercise initiated a period of oxidative stress within the body which, he assumed, was bad for us so looked at ways of counter-acting it using anti-oxidant supplements. This snowballed over the next few decades as companies joined the band wagon and before we knew it anti-oxidants were miracle supplements which counter-acted free radical damage, staved off aging, made us look and feel younger, warded off diseases and actually prolonged our lives. The only problem being it’s bunkum. More recent research has shown that the oxidative stress produced by our bodies after exercise is actually needed and if we interfere with that we are actually harming ourselves! One researcher looked back at trials from the last 50 years from all over the world and concluded that taking anti-oxidant supplements either had zero effect on disease and wellbeing or, more worryingly, actually increased mortality (one study was stopped after the mortality rate from lung cancer increased by 28% for those taking antioxidant supplements).
We’re also encouraged via persuasive marketing to buy various herbs and foods which have been condensed down into supplement form. The programme looked at Green Tea which you can buy condensed into a pill and which, after only 3 months, gave one man liver disease so severe he needed an immediate liver transplant and is now in kidney failure – before this he was totally healthy. Obviously this isn’t going to happen to everyone but the fact it happens at all is huge cause for concern when there is virtually no regulation on supplements and no legal obligation to make manufacturers prove the claims they make about their health effects or provide warnings of potential side effects. One of my good friends who has had severe M.E. for decades decided to try Spatone iron water for her proven low iron levels – it led to severe GERD which has continued ever since and has left her in tortuous daily pain. I, on the other hand, take 2 sachets a day and it’s been brilliantly helpful to me. None of us know how we’re going to react to supplements and we aren’t warned they may have serious side effects, may interfere with medication or be contra-indicated for a disease from which we may be suffering. Also, according to the research, if we are dieting or on restricted calories for whatever reason we may absorb more of the active ingredients of herbs and supplements and so be unwittingly taking higher than recommended doses.
I’m not anti-supplements and have benefitted hugely from taking iron and, in winter, Vitamin D but I am anti lack of evidence, regulation and monitoring. Companies selling supplements aren’t the slightest bit interested in hearing about issues with their products, but there is a way of reporting them via the Yellow Card Scheme which is a Government run website for feedback on adverse reactions to a range of products, including drugs, herbs and homeopathic remedies. We don’t do this enough and if the Government don’t know there’s a problem they won’t know to look into it.
The fact that simple supplements can in some cases, decrease rather than increase life span is shocking to me and just goes to prove that our bodies are mind-boglingly sophisticated entities that have kept us alive as a species for millennia without any intervention. For most people popping a herb or supplement won’t do anything much other than produce very expensive wee, but for some they can cause untold misery or even prove fatal. I personally don’t take anything unless my blood work shows I need to and then make sure I have regular tests to monitor any effect, which I think is doubly important when you have mast cell disease and your body may react in ways not usually seen.

Proposed pathways for movement of magnesium (Mg) across the intestinal epithelium. Two possible routes exist for the absorption of Mg across intestinal epithelial cells: the transcel-lular route and the intercellular pathway. Although a transcellular route has not yet been demonstrated, its existence is inferred from several observations. No large chemical gradient exists for Mg movement across the cell membrane; however, a significant uphill electrical gradient exists for the exit of Mg from cells. This finding suggests the existence and participation of an energy-dependent mechanism for extrusion of Mg from intestinal cells. If such a system exists, it is believed it would consist of two stages. 1) Mg would enter the apical membrane of intestinal cells by way of a passive carrier or facilitated diffusion. 2) An active Mg pump in the basolateral section of the cell would extrude Mg. The intercellular movement of Mg has been demonstrated to occur by both gradient-driven and solvent-drag mechanisms. This intercellular path may be the only means by which Mg moves across the intestinal epithelium. The change in transport rates at low Mg concentrations would reflect changes in the "openness" of this pathway. High concentrations of luminal Mg (eg, after a meal) are capable of altering the morphology of the tight junction complex. High local Mg concentrations near the intercellular junction also can affect the activities of local membrane-associated proteins (eg, sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphate [Na-K ATPase]) near the tight junction and affect its permeability (see Fig. 4-6) [13-15]. | 2019-04-26T04:10:13Z | https://www.rrnursingschool.biz/renal-failure-2/figure-47.html |

Hone your logic skills with this new take on Shikaku - with a twist!
With normal Shikaku rules, the objective is to divide the grid into rectangular and square pieces with each piece containing exactly one number representing the area of the rectangle.
Do you remember when the Sudoku craze really took hold back in the early 2000's? For a while there it seemed that, no matter where you went, there would be someone sitting next to you playing it. You’d have to say that it was the Candy Crush of its day - albeit with a little more intelligence needed. Bizarrely, the game reached such epidemic proportions that a million dollar drug trial in Australia was aborted when it was discovered that five of the twelve jurors were playing Sudoku rather than listening to the evidence. Naturally, because of its worldwide success, there were a number of spin offs that came to the fore in the ensuing years. One of which was called Shikaku.
The original Shikaku’s objective was to divide the grid to a number of rectangular and square pieces with each piece containing a number that represented the area of the rectangle. However, that game has now evolved itself slightly and has turned into another new game called Shikaku Twist with a couple of significant new rule changes. With this game, the cells connected to each grid do not need to form a square or rectangle any more. What’s more, you get to solve the puzzle in one single line by moving from one connecting square to the next. | 2019-04-23T18:09:00Z | https://feedmyapp.com/app/shikaku-twist/ |

The centerpoint of doing your taxes when you have your own business is Schedule C. This is where you enter most of your business's income and deductions. Let's take a step-by-step look at filling out the form.
Starting from the top of the Schedule C screen on your 1040.com return, you'll first enter a short description of your business. Remember: each Schedule C is for the profit or loss from just one business, so if you had more than one business, use a Schedule C screen for each.
Next, you’ll choose a business code for your operation. The dropdown list has lots of choices, arranged alphabetically. If you don’t see a description that fits your business, click the search icon to search by keyword.
Enter the name of your business on line C. If you don’t enter a business name here, the default is the taxpayer’s name as entered on the Name & Address screen. Next, enter your Employer Identification Number (EIN), if you have one, then your business address.
Next, choose the type of accounting method the business uses, if you're not using the cash method. Your choices are the accrual method or “Other.” The accounting method is all about how and when you count income and expenses for your business. With the cash method, you report income in the year it’s received, and deduct expenses in the year you pay them. With the accrual method, income is reported in the year it’s earned, and expenses are deducted in the year they’re incurred – even if you receive the income or pay the expenses in a future year. For more info on this, see Publication 583 – Starting a Business and Keeping Records.
On line G, choose the business activity type – basically, passive or not passive. And if your business has a special tax treatment code, choose that too.
If you qualify, we'll use Schedule C-EZ automatically for you on your 1040.com return (unless you indicate you don't want that, at the top of the Schedule C screen).
Now we get into the real meat of the Schedule C. Part I – Income starts by asking if you had income to report from self-employment, independent contracting, freelancing or consulting during the year. If you answer Yes, you'll get fields for gross receipts, returns and allowances, and other income.
Once you’re done on the income side, it’s time to move on to expenses. Once again, answer Yes to show the various boxes for expenses your business paid during the year.
Most of the lines are pretty straightforward – fields for items such as contract labor or utilities you paid, for example. Line 9 – Car and Truck Expenses – doesn’t have a place to enter any numbers. That’s because you’ll need to fill out the Auto Expense Worksheet screen to provide vehicle mileage or expenses. To get it, first save your Schedule C, then click Review on the left, and use the forms search box at the bottom of your screen to search for the Auto Expense Worksheet.
In filling out the worksheet screen, remember that you can claim either mileage or expenses for your vehicle, but not both. You’ll need a separate screen for each vehicle you claim. Also take care not to double-enter data; if an amount is entered on the worksheet, for example, don’t put that same amount on Schedule C. If you’ve set the initial control correctly (the “Worksheet is for:” field), your data from the worksheet will flow to the Schedule C automatically when the return is calculated.
Back on Schedule C, Part III is for Cost of Goods Sold. Think retail inventory here. If you sell items, but not as the main part of your business, you may not need to enter anything in this section. A mechanic who charges for parts, for example, probably wouldn’t use this section. His parts supplier, however, would.
That brings us to Part V – Other Business Expenses. Basically, this section is for expenses that, for whatever reason, just don’t seem to fit in the other expense sections. Refrain from putting depreciation here; that’s handled on the Form 4562 screen.
Below Part V is a modest-looking line that can positively effect on your return. It’s for family health coverage. Enter the total amount you paid for self-employed health insurance for you, your spouse and dependents. This entry will cut your taxes, so don't neglect it if it applies to you. | 2019-04-21T16:02:28Z | https://www.1040.com/tax-guide/taxes-for-the-self-employed/basics-of-schedule-c/ |
Ray Bates has provided a critique of the IPCC Special Report on 1.5C promoted as a ‘paper’ (it is no such thing in that it is not a rigorously peer-reviewed piece) by the GWPF – a highly questionable think tank.
This piece has garnered some interest in the Irish press and I am quoted as critical of it and the associated views in a piece in the Irish Times. To be crystal clear: a free press is an essential component of a healthy, vibrant democracy and it would be strange for the media to completely censure views. Furthermore, journalists only have a finite amount of real estate to work with. Also, journalism is a real-time business and a tough gig. Hence here I am taking the opportunity to more clearly lay out from a scientific viewpoint why the piece being reported upon is fundamentally flawed and the IPCC SR1.5 report stands on its merits.
The societal response and policy aspects I shall leave for another day but suffice to say I am more optimistic and view national leadership on acting on climate change, if done right, as a real national opportunity for all Irish citizens.
And that the statement did not necessarily assert that more than half of the warming is due to human influences. He goes on to contend that SR1.5 departs from AR5 in contending that all the warming is due to human influence.
Figure SPM6 from IPCC AR5 WG1 report. Changes for simulations with human influences (pink) and without (blue) for a range of global and continental and ocean / cryosphere indicators. Human influences explain effectively all the change seen since the early 20th Century.
Figure 10.5 showing attributable contributions to the observed change (black bar) from Grrenhouse gases, all anthropogenic forcings, non-greenhouse gas anthropogenic forcings, natural forcings and internal variability. The best estimate is that anthropogenic contribution to warming slightly exceeds that observed (balanced by variability / natural forcings). It is in no way only half the warming.
So, does SR1.5 start from a distinct premise from the AR5 conclusions around attributable warming contribution from us humans? That’ll be a resounding no.
Ray Bates goes on in his piece to imply nefarious intent behind the IPCC considering only the post-1960 series of GMST in their SPM figure. The choice is reasonable because the attribution statement in AR5 (and the prior figure) pertained to post-1950 changes. Furthermore, in the underlying chapter 1 Figure 1.2 the full series from 1850 is shown. The SR1.5 is hardly ignoring the early period as implied is it?
Ray Bates then goes on to show a satellite dataset that shows less warming than the surface. It is true that the UAH dataset does, indeed, show less warming than the surface. What’s the issue? Well, satellite data are no gold standard. You put a delicate instrument on top of a controlled explosion to send it into space then expose it to vagaries in space weather. Unlike the surface there are not hundreds of instruments there is one. It can drift in the sampling and it can degrade in performance over time. What happens if another group also go to the trouble of creating a product from the same instruments in space? Well, they find greater warming than at the surface. I’m not going to argue one of these is right and the other wrong. I’m just pointing out that satellites aint no gold standard. Indeed, AR5 concluded that the surface was robust whereas the tropospheric changes while certain of the sign (warming) were uncertain in magnitude. As I lead that portion of the AR5 assessment I am uniquely qualified to make this statement.
Ray Bates goes on to throw in a couple of red herrings on the Oceans for good measure. He states that an emerging signal of warming of land faster than oceans in the observed record is problematic. Well, no, its actually what we expect as an emerging signal of climate change and it will only get worse. As SR1.5 points out much of the global land domain already experiences seasonally or annually changes exceeding 1.5C.
Don’t believe me? Here is Figure 12.11 of the SPM of AR5. Note how the land warms more than the oceans in all cases. Note also how our choices matter in determining future generations climate.
Figure 12.11 from AR5. Land robustly warms more than oceans. I sure don’t want my descendants inheriting that bottom right world. Can we please make efforts to make the top right reality?
These preliminary results are considered of interest for the ongoing community efforts focusing on coupled data assimilations.
Why would IPCC be expected to rely upon an experimental data assimilation system analysis? Well, exactly.
The section on climate model tuning is very confused indeed. I was involved, when at the Met Office, in the model tuning and evaluation exercises. I saw lots of effort concerned around getting critical processes such as El Nino, mid-latitude storm tracks and monsoon variations adequately as well as the mean state. I never saw an effort to tune the model to reproduce the observed trends or to determine some state in 2100 in the projections. I also saw significant efforts to run perturbed ensembles and these have been done even more so in the citizen science www.climateprediction.net experiments. To claim that the model tuning is an issue that is unexplored or a major issue is incorrect.
The section on ECS is, to put it politely, selective. Fortunately I don’t have to waste many words here as there has been a recent major review piece written by Reto Knutti and colleagues - the figures are not behind the paywall and any number of these give a much more holistic assessment as to the state of our knowledge on the topic. The bottom line is that contrary to the assertion of Ray Bates if anything the lower bound on ECS has increased since AR5. The good news here is there is a whole chapter devoted to it and related matters in AR6.
Ray has had a long and distinguished career. But that career has been in atmospheric dynamics and not climate. Yes, both are to do with the atmosphere, but when your toilet is backing up you call the plumber and not the electrician. In the same way when looking for guidance on climate change it is advisable to listen to the climate scientists of which there are many thousands the vast majority of whom (and I mean vast) concur with the broad findings of the IPCC and various national assessments and national academies that climate change is real, its due to us, and that our choices now are of critical import. Equally, if you want to discuss the intricacies of atmospheric dynamics please don’t come knocking at my door!
Drought has begun to fade from the national conversation following a week of rain, but observations show that Dublin remains in the grip of the one of the most intense flash droughts, probably the most, since at least the middle of the nineteenth Century.
There are numerous definitions of drought. None are perfect. In Ireland we have tended to use an index called the Standardised Precipitation Index (SPI) (McKee et al. 1993). This makes sense in that most of the time it is a lack of rainfall that leads to drought in our relatively moderate climate. But there are other indexes such as the Standardised Precipitation and Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) (Vicente-Serrano et al.2010) which, in addition, account for removal of water via evaporation and plant transpiration. This index is arguably better for characterising flash droughts that tend to occur in the warm season. It uses a combination of monthly rainfall and temperature records.
The Noone et al. (2015) assessment of variability and change in precipitation over the period 1850–2010 indicates positive trends in winter and negative trends in summer precipitation. Noone et al. (2017) produced a 250 year drought catalogue for the Island of Ireland by applying SPI-12 ( a 12 month drought index) to identify long hydrological drought rich periods. The results show that Ireland is drought prone but recent decades are unrepresentative of the longer-term drought climatology. Ireland has experienced seven long drought rich periods over the period 1850-2015 impacting the whole of the island of Ireland; (1854–1860, 1884–1896,1904–1912, 1921–1923, 1932–1935, 1952–1954 and 1969–1977). But it is also possible to have ‘flash’ droughts, such as that in 2018.
Phoenix Park is one of the longest continuous meteorological stations in Ireland. Records started in the early 1800s and continue through present. This long record is thanks to the significant efforts of Met Eireann, Ordnance Survey Ireland and others. Although instrumentation has changed over time, the site has always stood in the grounds of Ordnance Survey Ireland and the regional environment has remained largely unchanged. The precipitation series was homogenised by ICARUS as part of Noone et al. (2015). The temperature record has not been homogenised to date.* Met Eireann make monthly and daily summaries available. To perform the present assessment we have appended the July daily values aggregated to monthly averages** to the long monthly series and calculated SPEI-3 (a 3 month drought index) for the entire series.
The provisional value of SPEI-3 for May to July is -2.70 which is the most extreme value on record, beating October 1995 by a whisker***. The next most extreme was August 1995. Before that the index values are sufficiently different to conclude that either 2018 or 1995 represent the worst flash drought since modern meteorological records began in Ireland, with 2018 marginally more likely.
SPEI-3 values calculated at Phoenix Park January 1850 to July 2018. Red lines show 3 month accumulative deficits and blue lines show 3 month accumulative surplus.
One important thing to note is that the two most extreme prior months occurred in the same year. This shows that drought can appear to diminish only to quickly return. We may well have had a week of rain (although even that in Phoenix Park amounted to only 47% of the long term monthly average rainfall for July), but that does not even begin to undo months of deficit.
Table of the ten most extreme values of SPEI-3 in the Phoenix Park record. Negative values denote deficits. The more negative the index the more severe the drought conditions.
Perhaps more worrying still is the seasonal forecasts for the coming two months which show a real possibility of the meteorological set-up that led to the current drought returning and persisting. Don’t be fooled by a week of recent rains. We are potentially far from done yet.
Current seasonal forecast output from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration CFSv2 system. Daily deficits of >-0.2mm/day are predicted. Note large uncertainties exist in seasonal prediction systems which should only be used as indicative guidance.
** Another reason to say probably rather than definitively in that monthly summaries have quality control applied by Met Eireann which may lead to a mismatch between the aggregated to monthly daily reports and eventual monthly summary of record.
*** Yet another reason to say probably rather than definitively.

During his third time hosting "Saturday Night Live" this weekend, legendary actor Robert De Niro never got sillier than in the sketch below. "Blizzard Man" featured musical guest Diddy as well as De Niro (in drag) in a bit surrounding one of Andy Samberg's go-to characters: the ridiculous rapper.
During a recording session, Diddy introduces "Blizzard Man" as the "hottest hook guy on the planet" before he launches into some of the hokiest rhymes of all time. De Niro steals he spotlight when he enters in drag as Blizzard's mom. Highlights include De Niro saying the words "a b***h gotta stay dipped" as well as Diddy telling De Niro he would "tear that a** up" before the two launch into a grind session. | 2019-04-20T17:00:56Z | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/blizzard-man-robert-de-ni_n_792235 |
Over the last several years, scientists have grown increasingly alarmed about the depletion of groundwater in many parts of India. However, even in a country with severe, widespread looming water shortages, the case of North Gujarat stands out.
For more than three decades now, the farmers of North Gujarat have been productively utilizing the rich groundwater resources of the region in order to cultivate a variety of crops and a thriving dairy industry. The state of Gujarat (along with the Government of India) has also played its role in supporting this enterprise by providing these farmers with a variety of subsidized inputs, including reliable electricity for pumping groundwater as well as marketing and price supports.
Unfortunately, because of the low levels of natural recharge of local aquifers, groundwater tables have fallen steadily throughout the same period. The groundwater situation is now so dire that the future of agriculture in North Gujarat is in jeopardy. Farmers are the first to suffer, as they must continually invest in deeper wells and more powerful pumps to irrigate, but nonetheless face a decline in both the quantity and quality of the water they are able to pump.
The effect of acute water shortages goes beyond immediate impacts on farmers. Under the current subsidy system, each year the government is forced to finance increasing amounts of expensive electricity for irrigation pumping, even as the benefit of pumping for farmers stagnates or declines as the amount of water available decreases. In addition, high consumption of electricity for irrigation puts pressure on the electrical grid and reduces available electricity for other sectors.
For the initial phase of its Gujarat project, the Columbia Water Center conducted an analysis of the water crisis in the Kukarwada sub-district in the Mehsana region. The study included a detailed survey of farmers and well operators in the region, along with an analysis of local hydrology, current energy policy and the potential for combining new incentive structures with water-saving technology to stabilize or reverse groundwater depletion in the region.
The study found that based on observation wells and farmer surveys, water tables in the study area have been falling steadily over the last 15-20 years, and have reached about 600ft below ground level, risking irreversible salinization of aquifers. The declining trend is seen in observation wells and confirmed by farmers’ own recollection of water depth. The rate of decline is anywhere between 9 to 20 feet per year.
To deal with falling water tables, farmers need to continuously drill deeper wells and buy more powerful pumps. However, although the horsepower usage and the depth of wells have increased dramatically over time, an average well can now irrigate only about 60% of its command area during the or winter-crop season. Nearly all respondents expected the water table to continue its decline, and on an average expect water to last for about six years. Once that happens, more than half of farmers in the area plan to abandon irrigated agriculture.
At the same time, energy use appears to have increased over the last two decades without a matching increase in irrigated area. In other words, the “drop per unit of energy consumed” continues to deteriorate, a situation that can is only made possible through large government subsidies. In fact, at depths from which groundwater is currently extracted, tubewell irrigated agriculture as practiced today is probably not financially viable.
Finally, while the study indicated that there were a number of practices and technologies that could increase water and energy use efficiency, they are, with few exceptions, not adopted by farmers in in the study area. The main reasons for this, farmers said, was high cost, land fragmentation and lack of familiarity.
Based on the results of this study, Columbia Water Center scientists began developing an approach to help farmers in the region save water. Given political and financial constraints, they determined that a successful approach would have to provide farmers both an incentive to apply water-saving approaches along with extension support to do so.
In partnership with the local electrical utility and the Gujarat government, the Center developed a pilot project that rewarded farmers by reducing the flat rate they paid for electricity for cutting water and energy consumption relative to a standard baseline based on historical use. As part of the project, farmers agreed to have their usage metered.
Goals of the incentive program included, making the farmer direct beneficiary of reduced water use, providing information and measurement tool and ensuring that the project was revenue neutral for the government.
Farm level GIS maps prepared that capture the land holding size, cropping pattern, area.
To date over 800 farmers have been enrolled. June of 2012 will mark the completion of the first year of field implementation, at which point the project will have documented the relative efficacy of various interventions as well as capturing behavioral changes through a new energy bill design to refine the incentive approach and scale up for subsequent years. | 2019-04-26T14:20:01Z | http://water.columbia.edu/research-themes/water-food-energy-nexus/water-agriculture-livelihood-security-in-india/gujarat-india/ |

There comes a day when each of us “takes up the torch” from the preceding generation. For some of us, this event may happen in our family life, at work, with the passing of one’s Guru, or after a Yoga teacher training course has concluded. We learn valuable lessons from the generation ahead of us. Then, we initially tend to copy the ways of our teachers, before we become creative Yoga teachers.
It is good to have a solid foundation of knowledge before we become innovators. On the other hand, some restless souls cannot wait to “reinvent the wheel.” Creativity is a wonderful thing, but who wants to spend years creating something that was created hundreds of years ago? For this reason, each Yoga teacher should spend time researching the classic texts.
Let the Gurus of the past be your guides, through their writings and your independent research. Let the written works, and videos of today’s most innovative Yoga teachers, be your path toward becoming the best you can be. There is no need to travel the teaching path alone or to recreate what has already been created.
Remember the saying: “If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.” Why should any of us spend time creating a solution to something that has been solved years ago? This is why education, research, and building a foundation of Yogic knowledge, is so important for all Yoga instructors. Yet, there are many written works by Yoga teachers from the past and present. In fact, the book shelves contain more literature than a lifetime of reading could consume.
At this time, there is no need to teach Yoga without peer support, unless you choose to. There was a time when teachers visited their Guru, and it was a great journey. It may have required a pilgrimage, mountain climbing skills, or traveling by ship half way around the world. At his point in time, we have teacher networks, air travel, and Internet Yoga teacher communities.
If you live on a secluded island, but have Internet access, you can trade ideas with Yoga instructors from any part of the world. When answers cannot be found within, it is time to look outside for fresh ideas. At the same time, it should be noted that not every new idea may be applicable to your classes or students. Each Yoga school is unique, and the same can be said for the students within a given school.
It is always best to test new methods and see which methods are a good fit for the greater body of students. When absorbing and testing new methods in your Yoga classes, it never hurts to network with related fields. Chiropractors, physicians, nurses, holistic healers, physical therapists, and personal trainers have practical knowledge in regard to safety and methods from within their professions.

Former Florida State football players put their talents on display ahead of the upcoming NFL Draft.
Florida State’s football program has churned out tons of professional talent in the past few years, boasting 33 players on NFL rosters at the beginning of the 2018 season.
This year’s draft class looks to add to that number, as their talents were on full display for Thursday’s Pro Day at the Dunlap Athletic Training Facility. The ’Noles who turned out for the event participated in a series of strength and conditioning drills before splitting up to perform various exercises specific to their position, all with NFL scouts and coaches analyzing their mechanics and motions.
For some, FSU’s Pro Day was little more than a formality, as was the case for defensive end Brian Burns. Currently projected to be taken in the first round of this year’s NFL Draft, Burns’ impressive performance at the NFL Combine left little for him to prove heading into the day’s events.
As such, the six-foot-five defensive end opted to focus mainly on position drills, allowing NFL scouts to assess his mobility and ability to change direction in space. With the draft less than a month away, Burns has been in contact with the Arizona Cardinals, Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers, Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans.
Following his drills, Burns spoke about how well both he and his teammates performed on the day as they prepare for the NFL Draft.
For other players, such as defensive tackle Demarcus Christmas and wide receiver Nyqwan Murray, Pro Day was a chance to brush up on and perform better in drills that each struggled with at the NFL Combine.
Hoping to perform better without all of the uncomfortable spotlight of the Combine, Christmas was satisfied with his Pro Day performance in a facility that former Seminoles like himself had previously practiced in and were familiar with.
Christmas’ improvement on the 40-yard dash from a 5.08 at the NFL Combine to a 4.90 on Thursday solidified a successful outcome for him.
However, it wasn’t smooth sailing for Murray unfortunately, as he pulled up during a position-specific catching drill clutching his hamstring and mouthing, “This isn’t me,” to assembled onlookers.
The wide receiver’s Pro Day performance was certainly limited by his recent injury, as he was unable to run the 40-yard dash due to the pain. Murray also felt he could have done better running routes in position drills if it weren’t for his injured leg.
On the other hand, defensive back A.J. Westbrook certainly made the most of his Pro Day, as he rode a fast start to an overall strong performance, literally.
In the 40-yard dash, which was the first event of the day, the Daytona Beach, Florida native made scouts do a double take as he posted a 4.40 finish. Westbrook then translated that success to his positional drills, keeping the scouts’ eyes on him despite the fact that several NFL personnel in attendance were likely there to see other players first.
In any case, Thursday’s Pro Day officially sealed the college careers of this year’s Florida State draft class. The Garnet & Gold will once again be well represented in the draft, with Burns projected to be a first-round pick, Christmas expected to be selected between the third and fifth rounds, and a slew of Seminoles likely to be taken after the fifth round.

Home > All about hedgehogs > Do hedgehogs have fleas?
Ticks are another common external parasite on hedgehogs. Usually an individual will have a couple of ticks on it though occasionally there are hedgehogs with heavier burdens. Ticks often attach themselves to the underside, behind the ears or the flanks of hedgehogs but they can occur elsewhere as well. Ticks are in general harmless to hedgehogs. However, a high parasite load can be indicative of sickness.
Hedgehogs often get ringworm, with around a quarter of the national population thought to be affected. Most hedgehogs show no visible symptoms and even those with severe infections can still show little sign of skin infection and can feed normally. Dry, crusty ears are one of the most common symptoms of a ringworm infection.

The air ambulance was mobilised following reports that a man had fallen on a tree branch and impaled his neck in Durrington, a spokesman said.
The ambulance service spokesman confirmed two response cars and an ambulance were sent to the sports ground in Pond Lane at around 11.40pm last night (Tuesday, August 28).
The air ambulance was also mobilised but stood down when it was reported on scene that his neck had not been impaled, the spokesman said.
The 32-year-old patient was taken to Worthing Hospital for treatment to a neck injury, confirmed the spokesman.
The fire service assisted with the extrication of the patient, added the spokesman.
The fire service confirmed that one fire engine and a heavy rescue tender from Worthing were sent to the scene after the ambulance service asked for assistance.
Crews left the scene at 12.20am. | 2019-04-22T15:10:43Z | https://www.worthingherald.co.uk/news/air-ambulance-called-to-reports-that-man-had-impaled-neck-on-branch-in-durrington-1-8617291 |

After your business is up and running, your focus naturally shifts to increasing efficiency. The small things you do to lower costs and increase output can be the difference between a failing business and soaring profits. No matter how good your team members are, you should tweak the environment in which they work to insure the best possible results.
There are many reasons why developing a protocol to measure efficiency benefits your business. You are able to pinpoint areas that need improvement, and you can break your team’s performance down by tasks. Perhaps you will notice that the whole process is going smoothly except for one minor operation that can be eliminated to improve efficiency. This kind of insight can help you restructure the physical environment or delegate tasks in a new way to increase efficiency. You can also evaluate the performance of individual employees. Take a look at how much you get out of employees versus how much you pay them.
Employees might be a bit nervous about your new methods of close observation and evaluation. This is acceptable and sometimes even beneficial, as employees will make an increased effort if they know their performance is being tracked. However, you don't have to be an intimidating taskmaster. This is a good opportunity to mix in positive reinforcement and show your appreciation for your team. You can offer incentives, such as public recognition, time off or a share in productivity gains. Whatever mode you choose, employees are sure to improve efficiency if they feel that good work is rewarded and they develop a sense of the needs of the business as a whole.
Employees need to have the appropriate equipment and technology to carry out their functions efficiently. A lazy and incompetent worker on a tractor will most likely outperform even the hardest-working person who is plowing manually. Regular maintenance and upgrades of your equipment might seem costly and burdensome, but they are critical to the success of your business. Making sure that your employees have the tools they need to get the job done will drastically improve your output per dollar spent or per unit of time. Keeping equipment up to par also prevents on the job injuries, possible lawsuits and time lost to malfunctions.
Skill is another side of employee efficiency. Your team must have the requisite skill sets to produce up to par, making on-the-job training and education generally worthwhile. Even though specialization and division of labor are important, your team's efficiency can benefit greatly through cross-training, which gives workers a broader perspective and an understanding of the context in which their work fits. It allows them to help each other and to prioritize more effectively, resulting in overall efficiency. This increased workforce agility allows workers to shift their capacity to where it is needed and reduces problems due to worker absences. | 2019-04-21T19:00:43Z | https://yourbusiness.azcentral.com/ways-increase-efficiencies-production-workers-9199.html |
Your guests will LOVE these caramelized bacon knots with black pepper! Low carb, keto, LCHF, and sugar free recipe.
These bacon knots were inspired by a recipe that my friend Gareth made at a party about 20 years ago! I was hosting and he offered to make them – and they were a HUGE success. I remember everyone crowding into the tiny London kitchen to see what the smell was, and the first batch of bacon knots didn’t manage to leave the kitchen – they were so popular!
The original recipe involved brown sugar and cracked black pepper. I’ve switched the brown sugar for a granular sweetener – and it works really well. For the pepper I used a California seasoned pepper blend (the same as in my Tuna Steaks with Wasabi Sauce recipe), but you could always mix up your own with some ground black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder – or just use black pepper on its own.
Mix equal amounts of the pepper blend and sweetener in a small bowl. I used erythritol, but xylitol would be a good alternative. Set aside.
Cut slices of bacon into half, then tie each half intro a knot.
Press the bacon knots into the pepper mixture, turning them over to coat as much as possible. Place the dipped knots onto a baking sheet lined with a wire rack. You can tie and dip the knots in advance if you need to!
Place the bacon knots under a preheated broiler, and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking. You might like to make sure your extractor fan is on as they can make quite a bit of smoke!
Let them cool down, blotting them on paper towels to remove excess grease if necessary. Serve immediately – although by this point your guests will have come to you!
The combination of the pepper and sweetener on the bacon is fantastic!!
Cut slices of bacon into half, then tie each half into a knot.
Press the bacon knots into the pepper mixture, turning them over to coat as much as possible. Place the dipped knots onto a baking sheet lined with a wire rack.
These are outrageously delicious! I subbed Penzey’s Florida Seasoned Pepper for the cracked black pepper and that made them perfect! | 2019-04-26T04:04:55Z | https://stepawayfromthecarbs.com/low-carb-caramelized-bacon-knots/ |

A new, drug-resistant strain of E. coli is causing serious disease, according to a new study in the Aug. 1, 2010 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases.
"If we could discover the sources of this strain, the transmission pathways that allow it to spread so effectively, and the factors that have led to its rapid emergence, we could find ways to intervene and possibly slow or halt this strains emergence," says study author James Johnson, MD, of the VA Medical Center in Minneapolis.
In the past, highly virulent E. coli strains usually have been susceptible to antibiotics, while highly resistant strains have been fairly weak in terms of their ability to cause disease. The susceptible strains were easily treated even though they caused serious infections, while the resistant ones tended mostly to affect only weakened or vulnerable individuals. Now, the studys findings suggest, the ST131 strain has appeared with a high level of virulence and antimicrobial resistance.
"If this strain gains one additional resistance gene," Johnson adds, "it will become almost untreatable and will be a true superbug, which is a very concerning scenario." | 2019-04-19T05:08:31Z | https://www.infectioncontroltoday.com/antibiotics-antimicrobials/emerging-e-coli-strain-triggers-antimicrobial-resistant-infections |

The University of Maryland President Wallace Loh.
University of Maryland President Wallace Loh stood before reporters Aug. 14 and apologized to the family of Jordan McNair, a football player who died days after a team workout. That day, Loh also announced a commission charged with examining the culture inside the school's embattled football program, an undertaking that could prompt sweeping changes at the state's flagship university.
In June, the school had contracted with an outside consulting firm to investigate the events surrounding McNair's death. But the commission Loh announced nearly two months later would be charged with a broader inquiry into the culture of the school's football program - a "thorough investigation by an independent group," Loh said - following media reports that suggested some coaches were abusive toward players, relying on fear, intimidation and bullying.
Few details about the group's work to date are publicly available, but the commission's directives and composition reveal some of the inherent obstacles that arise when independent bodies investigate problems in university athletic departments.
In an initial email to the newly-appointed commission members, a copy of which was viewed by The Washington Post, Loh advised that some of the allegations they would be investigating "probably occur in every football program" and that the line between aggressive and abusive training techniques is "imprecise."
Also, several of the commission members have previous ties with the university and the stakeholders in the affair. One served as a personal advisor to Loh. Another is the brother of an influential booster.
Almost immediately after the commission's unveiling, the University System of Maryland's board of regents took control from the College Park campus, adding five additional members to the three named by Loh and suggesting that key decisions about the football program's future would be made by the regents, not necessarily the school president. The vice chair of the board of regents is a prominent donor to the athletics department and has voiced public support for head football coach DJ Durkin.
This investigation could go a long way to determining the fate of Durkin, who was placed on administrative leave along with three other member of the athletic staff in the immediate aftermath of the media reports. One of those, football strength and conditioning coach Rick Court, has negotiated a settlement and resigned.
According to multiple people familiar with the process, Durkin was interviewed by investigators on the morning of Aug. 22, and they were particularly keen on questioning Durkin about his alleged use of food to demean players, possible verbal abuse and his handling of injuries.
The commission's review is expected to also look at the actions of other prominent coaches and staff members, including Damon Evans, who was promoted to athletics director less than two weeks after McNair's death. Loh, too, could find himself scrutinized by one or both of the external probes. He nixed a plan recommended by the school's athletic director to fundamentally change the way athletes receive medical treatment and athletic training less than a year before McNair died.
There is no formal deadline for the commission to complete its review of the football program.
"We're trying to get that all done this month, one way or another, so that all the facts we can gather are in front of the board and the campus and then decisions can be made about the future," Robert Caret, chancellor of the University System of Maryland, said in an interview last week, "both to protect student-athletes themselves but also to create the kind of environment we want."
A day after he addressed reporters, Loh sent an email to his three new commission members, as well as a handful of school officials, laying out the assignment. He told them "to interview a sufficiently large sample of current and former players, their parents, athletics staff , and any other relevant stakeholders, in order to make an assessment on whether the relatively few (but deeply troubling) cases of alleged 'abuse,' reported anonymously in the media, indicate the existence of a widespread 'toxic culture' . . . or, do these reported cases represent only a small portion of the population of football players, present and past."
Loh told the members that "arguably, a hyper-masculine and insular culture is the norm, rather than the exception, in college football." Furthermore, he advised them that "some of the alleged verbally abusive or demeaning behaviors probably occur in every football program. It is part of the 'football culture.' There is, of course, an imprecise line between training practices that aggressively push players to the limit and are acceptable, and practices that most reasonable persons would deem to be physical and/or emotional abusive conduct.'"
Asked about Loh's email, Maryland spokesperson Katie Lawson said: "The president acknowledges that athletic programs are by their nature demanding and intense, and he asked commission members to investigate if Maryland's program crosses a line into destructive or abusive, which is absolutely unacceptable. President Loh has been clear that if such behavior did exist here, it will not be tolerated."
After assuming ownership of the investigation two days later, the board of regents added five more members to the commission, including former Maryland Gov. Robert Ehrlich and Tom McMillen, the former Terps' basketball star who served three terms in Congress.
In expanding the panel, the regents faced the delicate task of appointing people who are sufficiently knowledgeable about football and the school but not too partisan.
"Ideally, you want somebody who has more than a passing familiarity with that space and the cultures that exist in that space," said a veteran college sports administrator, who requested anonymity so he could speak candidly about the process. "At the same time, that can cause people to be apologists for all that behavior. That's one of the inherent challenges. I know some of the people on the Maryland committee. They're good people, but many are affiliated with the University of Maryland.
Richard Legon, president of the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges, said the composition of the Maryland commission on its face appears sound.
"I think if you have a former a member of Congress, a former governor, other prestigious leaders who are connected or not to the institution, what you can get to is an outcome with a high degree of credibility," he said. "At the end of the day, credibility allows the board to put greater stock into the recommendations and take whatever actions they're going to take."
The web of relationships surrounding the Maryland probe is thorny and highlights several areas of possible concern. The eight commission members, who will be compensated for their work, either declined to comment or did not respond to requests to comment.
Loh made Alex Williams, a well-respected retired U.S. District judge, one of his three initial appointees to the commission. Williams is the founder, chief executive and namesake of a center focused on justice and ethics housed within the university's school of behavioral and social sciences.
Prior to joining the commission, Williams had served as a pro bono personal advisor to Loh following the death of Richard Collins III, a 23-year-old student at nearby Bowie State University, who was killed on Maryland's College Park campus in May 2017.
Don Scheeler, past president of the Terrapin Club, left his name off a letter in support of Durkin that was sent last month to the regents from the Champions Club, a group of high-level sports boosters. His brother, Charles Scheeler, was another of the three commission members appointed by Loh.
Charles Scheeler is a Baltimore-based attorney at the law firm DLA Piper, who previously served as the "independent monitor" charged with tracking Penn State's implementation of recommendations made in the report that followed the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
He also was a top deputy for Sen. George Mitchell a decade ago in the exhaustive investigation into performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. Scheeler and his associates at DLA Piper have done much of the commission's investigative legwork behind the scenes.
Asked about the inclusion of Williams and Scheeler, a spokesman said in a statement to The Post: "Both have the objectivity and talent to contribute greatly to an impartial investigation of the culture of the University of Maryland, College Park football program.
"But they are only two of the eight member independent commission, which is comprised of individuals with a broad range of backgrounds and experiences, from both in Maryland and outside the state," the statement continued. "The commission's membership is sufficiently large, fair-minded and diverse in perspective to effectively follow the facts wherever they may lead."
In addition to Ehrlich and McMillen, the other commission members are retired U.S. District Court Judge Ben Legg; Doug Williams, the former Redskins quarterback who serves as the senior vice president of player personnel for the team; Bonnie Bernstein, an alumnus of the school and veteran sports broadcaster; and Frederick Azar, the chief of staff at Campbell Clinic Orthopaedics in Memphis.
It's not known how hands-on all eight of the commission members have been. Two of the eight commission members live outside the area, and others have demanding, full-time jobs.
"I think the vast majority of them will have had some hands-on experience," Caret said in an interview last week. "I don't know if they've met face to face or not. I know they've all talked."
A spokesman for the regents said that once the commission has completed its examination, it will share its findings with the board of regents, which will then "make whatever decisions are necessary to better safeguard and support all students and student-athletes." The board of regents is made up of 17 unpaid members who oversee Maryland's system of 12 colleges. With the exception of one student representative, each member is appointed by the governor and can serve a maximum of two five-year terms.
Barry Gossett is a vice chair of the board of regents and also one of the most influential athletic boosters the school has ever known. He donated $10 million in 2007 to build the football program's "team house," which bears his name, and this spring pledged more than $21 million - one of the largest donations the school has ever received - to a center focused on athletes' academic studies.
"From a donor standpoint, I kind of stand behind DJ and his program and what he has been doing," Gossett told The Post in an interview before the university placed the coach on leave.
Gossett did not respond to requests to comment last week. He had been tending recently to his wife, Mary, who died Monday. The couple have been donors to the school since 1971, championing causes both in and outside of athletics.
"Barry Gossett is a highly regarded member of the Maryland community who has served, and continues to serve, the state in countless ways," a spokesman for the board of regents said in an email last week. "At the same time, he is only one of 17 members of the Board of Regents, which will receive the findings of the independent commission."
Like Don Scheeler, Gossett left his name off the Champions Club letter supporting Durkin.
The board doesn't typically play a role in personnel decisions at the system's schools, though it does have oversight over Loh, who has led the state's flagship university since 2010.
"The board obviously can have influence on the president," Caret said.
Stephen Ross, a Penn State sports law professor who directs a cross-campus center on sports issues, said the pre-existing relationships on these investigative bodies aren't usually as important as the underlying motivation behind the appointment.
He says there are scenarios where those pre-existing ties could undermine an investigation but others in which they could lend credibility, diversify the commission and appease stakeholders in the event of a critical report.
"To me, an ad hoc committee designed to deal with a major public relations problem is itself an exercise in strategic communication," he said.
There is no rulebook for such investigations and schools can pursue them on their own terms. Similar external examinations have been conducted at schools such as Ohio State, Michigan State and Penn State, facing widespread criticism from some corners unhappy with different facets of the respective probes or findings.
The Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges issued a formal statement to schools in 2009 saying "it is time for all [governing] boards to re-examine how they exercise their oversight responsibilities." The organization urged governing bodies, such as Maryland's board of regents, to refrain "from fostering personal relationships with the athletics director or coaches," and urging them to "exercise appropriate oversight while avoiding micromanagement, viewing athletics with a dispassionate perspective."
"We don't want them running college sports,"Legon said, "but we want them to recognize the buck stops with them." | 2019-04-25T04:00:49Z | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Maryland-president-told-commission-some-13223962.php |
I hope everyone enjoyed the Christmas season and is underway to a fresh start on 2016. It is my great joy and relief to board the plane soon and spend some quality time in Uganda at Kirabo Seeds. My new year’s resolutions always include leadership wisdom and discernment for the children at Kirabo Seeds. It is such an honor to be entrusted by God to raise, protect, educate and nourish in every way these precious children. I still get a knot in my throat when I imagine the life of a child who grows up without parents. We’re just trying to do what we can to lessen that pain for them.
I anticipate learning about all the fun tales and adventures the children will share about their time home for Christmas with relatives. I am always encouraged to learn about ways they stay in touch with one another during this time apart. They really love one another. Our dream of making a loving, safe home for orphaned children is realized as they spontaneously embrace one another as true siblings.
Naturally some of them returned with a “chickenpox like” rash. Yuck. One was in an advanced stage of malaria and another was just beginning to suffer the dreaded effects of that parasite. In our home we are quick to rush our children to the doctor for treatments, but with relatives they are not quite so vigilant. Thankfully everyone is recovering well and again in our excellent care.
The Camerons returned to Uganda this week, arriving safely and happily to reunite with the children. Their time in the states was not only refreshing but also provided them a refueling of desire to do God’s good work for these children and this cause. It is an honor and a pleasure to walk side by side sharing ministry with them.
This week I’ve received countless, random, unexpected bible verses from friends. When this happens I know God is preparing me for something big to do. I’m just a little woman, not much might, and very little fight left after all our struggles, but I know I serve a great and mighty God who do anything through me if I remain open to him. That’s what I plan to do.
I’ll give it my best effort to blog daily sharing life with the children and Camerons in sunny, warm Uganda. I’m hopeful that I won’t have neighbors stealing the water from my apartment tank, and that the storms at night won’t knock out power. And we hope for safety during the season of presidential elections. I trust God in all things and walk peacefully knowing his will shall be accomplished for these children through me. That’s a good feeling to rest upon any day.
Thank you Laura we have arrived safely and are preparing to greet the kids soon. This psalm is so relevant to what I will be doing here this trip thank you for sharing as I receive it from the Holy Spirit. My strength is gods alone.

This includes people of any age who require ongoing care, as well as those who are recovering from an illness.
While many people can benefit from home health care, how do you qualify for home health services? See below to learn the qualifications for home health care.
How Do You Qualify for Home Health Care Services?
The patient must be under the care of a doctor and be seeing that doctor regularly.
A doctor must certify that the patient needs skilled nursing care, pathology services, physical therapy, and/or continued occupational therapy.
The patient is homebound, meaning they have difficulty leaving their home without assistance.
A healthcare professional has documented that they have had a face-to-face encounter with you in the required time frames.

Older patients are poorly represented in breast cancer research and guidelines do not provide evidence based recommendations for this specific group. We compared treatment strategies and survival outcomes between European countries and assessed whether variance in treatment patterns may be associated with variation in survival.
Population-based study including patients aged ≥ 70 with non-metastatic BC from cancer registries from the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, England and Greater Poland. Proportions of local and systemic treatments, five-year relative survival and relative excess risks (RER) between countries were calculated.
In total, 236,015 patients were included. The proportion of stage I BC receiving endocrine therapy ranged from 19.6% (Netherlands) to 84.6% (Belgium). The proportion of stage III BC receiving no breast surgery varied between 22.0% (Belgium) and 50.8% (Ireland). For stage I BC, relative survival was lower in England compared with Belgium (RER 2.96, 95%CI 1.30–6.72, P < .001). For stage III BC, England, Ireland and Greater Poland showed significantly worse relative survival compared with Belgium.
There is substantial variation in treatment strategies and survival outcomes in elderly with BC in Europe. For early-stage BC, we observed large variation in endocrine therapy but no variation in relative survival, suggesting potential overtreatment. For advanced BC, we observed higher survival in countries with lower proportions of omission of surgery, suggesting potential undertreatment. | 2019-04-24T06:34:22Z | https://oncology.medicinematters.com/early-stage-breast-cancer/breast-cancer/variation-in-treatment-and-survival-of-older-patients/15856260 |

Previously, there were reports that Xiaomi is considering entering the US smartphone market, another phone from the maker is certified by Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Xiaomi’s Redmi 2 Pro will come powered by Snapdragon 410 chipset with 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. The phone has a 4.7 inch display with 1280 x 720 pixels resolution.

Several months ago we saw a large bump in forum spam coming from the India / Pakistan / Bangladesh region. I started banning IP ranges, but they hit from so many I got pretty frustrated and banned an entire /12 for Airtel in India. (For those that don't know, that's basically a million IPs.) Forum spam dropped significantly immediately. However, it also blocked a large number of legitimate users. So about a month ago I dropped the /12 IP ban. Then sure enough, a few weeks later the spam returned. Now it's back in force.
We have a couple strategies we're mulling over to reduce this, and I hope to roll some of it out over the next few weeks. I appreciate your patience while we deal with it. In the meantime, reporting spammy comments and topics helps us a ton to get rid of it quickly.
Maybe add some verification measures when logging in and make it essential to verify your email before you can make forum posts. Might not eradicate the problem but for people using spam bots it might put a stop to them.
We do verify email before being able to log in. For a bit we saw automated email verification clicks from spam bots, but we've found workarounds to block those. In a nutshell, the spam we're seeing now isn't from bots. It's manual spam from humans.
Aaah I see... Still this forum has a lot less spam than I've seen in other forums that I use, and the community including myself seems to report it as soon as it's posted. And if you decide to put together a PcPP hit squad count me in ;) haha.
PC Part Picker Anti-Spam Squad.
Good to know the spam is being taken care of.
If there were signatures in the forums, I would SO add this to it. Now all we need is automated signatures. Guess I'll just manually type it in for now.
I still enjoy the occasional idiot who thinks that this forum is a good place to advertise his refrigerator repair store in Egypt.
I recomended a simple deterrent on the last one i reported. it wont end the problem, but may slow down the bots for a while.
Yeah... I banned that one but got a little giggle in as well.
I think the post was called "Man Power," which really could have been anything. After reading the post, though, it was clearly spam. The link itself was super obvious as well (I didn't click it though...I'm at work and would prefer not to raise any flags).
I just saw a bunch of spam, reported all the ones I found.

Buried in the news that HP is buying Palm is an updated lower guidance for the fourth quarter, otherwise known as a warning.
The Company expects revenues for its fourth fiscal quarter to be in the range of approximately $90 million to $100 million on a GAAP (1) and a non-GAAP basis. Revenues for the fourth fiscal quarter are being impacted by slow sales of the Company’s products, which has resulted in low order volumes from carriers. Palm also expects to close its fourth fiscal quarter with a cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance between $350 million and $400 million.
$90 million in revenues for an average ASP of $300 would put unit sales at 300,000 for the quarter. RIM just sold 10.4 million devices, Apple sold 8.75 million. 300k is just an astonishingly small number.
Huawei has largely rejected Palm’s request for a buyout, a tip said this morning. Palm had reportedly proposed that Huawei take over the company in mid-February but hasn’t made any progress since. It’s not clear what objections, if any, Huawei might have.

(Trinidad Guardian) It has been 42 days since Gangadhar Hanooman, 49, has been missing and relatives in renewing their calls for help in finding him, have also called on Police Commissioner Gary Griffith for a “personal” intervention in the investigations surrounding the case.
Hanooman of Roystonia, Couva, was last seen on September 1 at about 6.30 pm near a mini mart close to his home in Roystonia in Couva.
His car—a silver Nissan B14—was found abandoned near a mangrove adjacent to two vegetable gardens in Felicity, Chaguanas two days after on September 3.
The car was found by a search party organised by family members who acted on spiritual guidance given to them by a pundit (a Hindu leader). Speaking with the T&T Guardian, Gangadhar’s wife, who was too scared to give her name or be photographed, said she remains hopeful that her husband will return to her. She believes that something terribly went wrong that day as she was told “strange things” maybe “clues,” “He went by a brother of his and I had called him and told him to stop and buy some vegetables when he was coming home. About 8.30 pm I called him and asked him where he was.
“Then after a while, I called him and asked him where he was and he told me to call his brother that his car get stick up,” she added.
Another relative further explained that many times before in conversation, Gangadhar, when talking about crimes would not say the word “hijack” but would say “stick up” which she said meant someone being hijacked or hijacking. “So…thinking about it that could have been another clue that he was trying to give, maybe?” the relative said.
It is said that during a call to Gangadhar’s cellphone on one occasion that night, male voices were heard in the background as though a quarrel was going on at the time. There was also music heard playing believed to be coming from the car’s radio. In that call, Gangadhar did not say anything. The phone suddenly hung up and calls after that went straight to the voice mail recording.
Gangadhar’s car, which was subsequently impounded at the Chaguanas Police Station, was recently released to the family and is now parked up in Gangadhar’s backyard. With sadness in her eyes, occasionally “drifting” in her thoughts, Gangadhar’s wife for eight years stood next to her husband’s car in dismay during an interview with the T&T Guardian.
Another relative said she strongly believes that investigating officers at the Anti-Kidnapping Squad could do more in their attempts to find Gangadhar.
“He went missing two days before Natalie Pollonais and they were able to use all the technology to find her, why they couldn’t use that same procedure to find him?” the relative said.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts or other information concerning his disappearance can contact the police at 555, 800 TIPS or the nearest police station. | 2019-04-26T11:06:59Z | https://www.stabroeknews.com/2018/news/regional/trinidad/10/13/trinidad-relatives-renew-call-for-help-in-finding-man-missing-for-42-days/ |

Respect your body and please it – it will remember and respond with even better results. Massage is one of the best ways to do this. In addition to face care, it is important to cultivate the body, provide it with necessary nourishment and solve the problem of tired legs and sore points with quality treatments. Feel the smoothness of your skin upon a mere touch and enjoy a range of aromatic scents within each treatment. Visit our salon and feel for yourself the relaxing and nourishing powers of our top-quality products.
Relaxation massage is a gentle, soothing massage using manual techniques, which brings body relaxation.
Experience a wonderful feeling offered by this type of massage, which feeds, regenerates and awakens the vital force and restores harmony of the whole body. Through gentle stimulation of the energy points, the treatmant reduces tension, restores the flow of energy into balance, while fragrance oils give a pleasant feeling of relaxation and improve mood. In combination with the relaxation music, a complete relaxation is achieved through the sense of hearing and all sensory fields are gratified.
Connective massage is a form of intense massage that aims at releasing myofascial restrictions in the body, and effects the disruption of the restrictive skin tissue. It is also known to help in the treatment of chronic tension, to increase the level of physical movement improve posture and enhance the natural harmony of the entire body and mind.
Connective massage is a combination of techniques borrowed from the Swedish massage. The pressure applied by the therapist during the massage is more intense, and even massage oil or lotion is not used in the usual way.
Connective massage strokes are slower and stronger, tending to warm the muscles and penetrate into their deeper layers.
During the treatment, by applying deep intense movements the therapist will focus on the release of tension from the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue structures. This massage influences an improved posture, balance, movement, and leads to muscle relaxation.
Classic manual body massage appears exotic and more pleasant with the addition of aromatic oils. Essential oils have been used for 5000 years and represent an elixir of youth, life, health and beauty.
The word "aroma" means fragrance and is of Greek origin; therapy means treatment; thus, an aroma therapy stands for a treatment using aromatic oils combined with massage movements. Besides the effect of relaxation and reduction of muscle tension, this massage has a great effect on the complete physical and psychological health, as various aromas and friendly environment with appropriate music are known to positively affect mood and reduce stress.
Sports massage speeds up recovery after a workout, warms up and softens the tissues, aligns the muscle fibers, improves circulation, speeds up the discharge of waste matter and lactic acid from the body.
Sports massage keeps muscles healthy, flexible, less susceptible to injury, increases range of motion, strength of injured muscles, speeds up the process of strengthening, improves blood circulation and makes us more willing to make better performance in sports and life's challenges.
Royal massage is a specific direction in creativity, placed in front of two therapists with similar sensibilities and four arms. This is a specific way of dancing hands where one creates a movement and the other simultaneously follows.
By listening to the vibrations of the body and recognizing the client's blockades, the therapists simultaneously and in a balanced way create the relaxing effect on the left and right sides of the body. In this way, the stimulation of blood circulation and lymph flow is balanced on both sides of the body, the load on the heart is reduced to a minimal extent, a sense of unity and indivisibility of the body is fully revealed. In our ambience, with appropriate music, you will experience an absolute delight!
Lymph is a colorless circulatory liquid in the vertebrate which accounts for nearly 25% of the human body weight. It fills all the intercellular spaces and acts as an intermediary between the blood and the tissues in a way that it transports nutrients and oxygen to the cells of the tissue capillaries and collects the harmful products of metabolism and carbon dioxide.
The lymph is a fluid with a composition similar to the blood plasma and lymphocytes from the group of leukocytes, i.e. white blood cells. It results from the separation of blood plasma and one portion of leukocytes from the blood. The lymph’s flow to the heart is very slow and varies from 2 to 4 liters in an hour. The lymphatic system consists of lymph nodes and lymph vessels that branch throughout the body, similar to the blood vessels. The lymphatic system plays a major role in the immune system and the production of antibodies because it circulates the lymph back into the blood, where the lymph is filtered from damaged cells and bacteria, and produces immune cells.
Lymphatic drainage therapy is intended to stimulate the free flow of lymph in the lymph system. It is performed by manual massage that primarily focuses on specific lymph nodes and points on the body, following its natural flow. The main goal of this treatment is to remove the blockage and retention of fluids, generally along the upper and lower extremities. It is used for inflammation and swelling of muscles and joints, after placing implants and liposuction. It is an indispensable therapy for the malfunction of digestive tract such as constipation, lazy bowels and flatulence.
Lymphatic drainage is preventive detoxification, excellent in maintaining existing healthy state of the body, and it is strongly recommended to pregnant women. Today, this massage is widely used for facial cosmetic purposes, mostly in reducing bags under the eyes, double chin and after various cosmetic procedures.
About 85% of women get cellulite at some point in life, most often accompanying major hormonal fluctuations, such as pregnancy and puberty, regardless of the activity or sport weight.
In addition to genetics, the modern way of life is one of the major causes of cellulite. This phenomenon occurs in the subcutaneous adipose tissue (hypodermis) and extends into the medial layer of skin (dermis). Fat cells are grouped into globules and connected by the connective tissue made of collagen and elastin. Blood and lymphatic vessels pass between them. The process starts by increasing of cellulite fat cells, which creates pressure on capillaries and the surrounding tissue, and thus interferes with the circulation, which manifests itself as "orange peel" i.e. cellulite.
Anti-cellulite massage acts to induce lymph circulation and remove excess liquid. Essential oils used in the massage dissolve fat deposits that have accumulated unevenly. Massage influences the breaking of fat cells.
Hot stone massage is actually not a new method. It was used back in the ancient history of men, in rituals, healing ... and massages. The Egyptians and Indians were known to have used volcanic rocks because the stone is a very good accumulator of the thermal energies and its carrier. Volcanic rocks (i.e. stones from the heart of the earth) have geomagnetic properties which, in contact with the body, have a very positive effect and cure it both at the site of contact and the whole body.
Special light and deep rhythmic massage movements combined with appropriate oils and heated stones create a feeling of harmony and balance in the body, reduce stress and relax muscles.
This massage is a special type of massage, which is performed with warm oils and rhythmic movements. With its properties, massage with warm oils stimulates the body thus preventing many diseases. At the same time, it relaxes and therefore represents a massage for regeneration and pain relief.
During massage, the therapist uses long, deep and intense movement pressures, in order to achieve the level of relaxation of tense muscles. Massage with warm oils relieves the body of stress and helps restore balance in the body and the free flow of energy. The oils used have intense aroma securing improved blood circulation, relaxation of body and mind - the overall vitality.
This treatment includes complete relaxation and it will rebalance your energy, refresh you, strengthen and return the energy to your body and mind.
Massage with herb compress or hot cotton bolus' is one of the special techniques which is an integral part of modern anti-stress programs. Bolus bags are filled with herbs and their specific aromas have a calming and relaxing effect. This technique is "PINDA SWEDA" and is one of the earliest techniques in Ayuverda.
Massage is done by warmed bolus bags in order to heat the whole body, resulting in easing your energy blockades and pain relieving.
Hot chocolate massage nourishes and regenerates the skin, provides a vital force and brings you back into perfect harmony. Wonderful sense of highest quality chocolate on your skin has relaxing effect on mind and senses through scent as aromatherapy. Gentle relaxation massage relieves tension and stress, and the smell of chocolate will totally relax you and certainly lift your spirits. Cocoa, the main ingredient of the preparation, contains polyphenols that bind free radicals and neutralize them and thus protect the skin from premature aging. It contains magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, and amino acids which lead to the formation of serotonin also known as a happiness hormone, and endorphins which alleviate pain.
An anti-stress massage is a combination of relaxing and therapeutic massage, in which are used specially selected essential oils and bolus bags filled with aromatic herbs, thanks to which this massage has the characteristic of aroma therapy. This massage achieves a positive and stimulating effect on the central nervous system, and thus has a positive effect on mental processes, i.e. significantly reduces nervous tension and stress.
Foot reflexology is a holistic therapeutic treatment by which is balancing of vital energy achieved through foot massage (specific reflex points). There are 10 channels in reflexology, known as zones, extending from head to fingertips and toes, and vice versa. Each zone is associated with a particular zone of the body and organs of that zone. Reflex points of all organs and body parts are located on feet. By pressing on precise reflex points, the therapist obtain the information about the state of an appropriate body organ – if the place is pressure-sensitive, what the texture of the skin is, small lumps that can be detected, or if a reflex point is “weakened".
Soft and shiny skin is every woman’s wish. It is important to dedicate sufficient time and afford the care it deserves, because it is the most exposed organ of our body.
To achieve the desired effect, it is necessary to regularly remove impurities from it, primarily from its upper layer. Exfoliation is a very good solution to thoroughly clean the skin, which is the basis of skin care in general. With the removal of excess dead tissue, the natural regeneration of the skin's surface is stimulated gradually achieving the effect of softness and shine. The number and frequency of treatments depend on skin type and the type of peel.
Body treatment package, accorded to the needs of the skin, consists of various mixtures of algae, clay and essential oils. This is one of the oldest methods of skin care and dates back to the time of Cleopatra. Packages usually have a thermal effect so that active ingredients and heat can accelerate blood circulation, widen pores, speed up metabolism, particularly the secretion of harmful substances from the body. The extremely efficient effect on the skin and subcutaneous tissue is manifested by restored elasticity and tone, and thus the youthful appearance of the skin, giving the skin a long-lasting feeling of smoothness and tightness. Active ingredients penetrate the surface layers of the skin and affect the stimulation of cell processes important for overall health.
Body mesotherapy is a method where adequate products are applied to the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
Depending on your needs, body mesotherapy is applied to remove localized fat, cellulite reduction, straining i.e. rejuvenating the skin and muscle stimulation.
At the same time, it is an amazing body antioxidant.
The process is simple and the results are very good. It is the local application of selected cocktails which are determined by the doctor after the examination. Series of about 10 treatments are recommended.
To make the results more effective, the treatment is combined with anti-cellulite massage.
Skin tightening is carried out according to the same principle as the reduction of cellulite, except that the different mesotherapy cocktail is applied.
The first effects are visible after 3 treatments, where the skin is tighter and has a beautiful, rejuvenated look.
It is recommended for the women who just had delivery, after the body weight reduction, in order to correct the extra, loose skin, as well as tightening the upper arms, thighs, gluteus and inner side of the knee.
Each and every day we witness increase in the number of obese people. There are some people who are successful in adoption of proper hygiene-dietetic habits and whose desire to be healthy, lean and attractive is strong enough so they manage to stick to the desired goal, i.e. they succeed in bringing their weight to an ideal one. However, we have seen too often that although someone achieved weight loss and desired weight, the critical lipid regions which still remained the same destroyed the ideal of a harmonious and attractive figure. The most common problem among women are hips, thighs, stomach and arms, while in most cases in men the critical region is stomach. Large abdominal girth (not just an aesthetic problem but a health issue as it is directly associated with high risk health) is in direct proportion to the risk of cardiovascular disease.
WHAT DOES A LIPOLYSIS TREATMENT LOOK LIKE?
A lipolysis treatment consists of lipolytic application with microinjections directly into the fatty tissue, and in the next month it melts and removes unwanted fat. After application a sense of itching and redness of the treated region appears in the next day or two. Some bruises may occur too, but disappear in just a few days. During the next month, after the injection of lipolytic cocktail, it is necessary that the patient adheres to a healthy diet and does not consume alcohol.
HOW LIPOLYSIS TREATMENT WORKS AND WHAT RESULTS CAN BE EXPECTED?
Lipolysis treatment can be called "non-surgical liposuction" because it acts locally in a similar manner as surgery – removes the local problem, i.e. removes local fat deposits. Thus, a series of 2-6 treatments remove fat from desired locations, thanks to substances that lead to the destruction of fat cells. This means that lipolysis treatment reduces the number of fat cells, which is extremely important because there is no yo-yo effect. It should be emphasized that common diet without lipolysis treatment does not decrease the number of fat cells. In that case, the cells are only getting smaller while we are losing weight, i.e. they "pump out", and we know very well how easily they could again "pump up". During one month, the girth may be reduced to 5-10 cm. Lipolysis treatment should be repeated every 2-6 weeks from 2-6 times.
WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE FATTY TISSUE, ARE THERE ANY NEGATIVE EFFECTS?
Fatty acids which are out of the fat cells are signal that macrophages (scavengers of our body) rapidly come to the place of action and carry fatty acids to the liver, where they continue to metabolize.
Contraindications for the application of lipolyses treatment are pregnancy, breast-feeding, active malignant and autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases.
Before the treatment, a detailed physical examination and discussion with the patient must be done in order to make individually customized treatment regimen and achieve the best effect. | 2019-04-25T02:40:13Z | https://medejacosmetic.com/en/services/body-treatments/ |

OK, so this statement is completely wrong, but it serves to illustrate the false conclusion of thinking that we are descended from chimpanzees because we evolved from an ape of some sort and they are our closest living relative. But we evolved from them no more than they from us.
What we do share is a common ancestor which we both descended from, and this makes chimpanzees our closest living cousins in species terms, but not our actual ancestors. Understanding common ancestors is vital to understanding evolution and classification, so lets go back in time to trace our little corner of the tree of life.
DNA analysis has shown that the ancestor linking us with chimps existed about six million years ago, and other evidence suggests it was certain to have lived in Africa. No fossil has been found that can be definitely attributed to it, but there are a few contenders. So, since we have no proper name let’s just call it ape A. But what did it look like? It would have been fairly close in appearance to a chimpanzee and it would have walked on four legs (using knuckle walking similar to chimps and gorillas), lived in the forest and been an excellent tree climber.
Around this time the climate began to cool a little and become dryer, meaning the forest in Africa began to thin out and in places open plain took over. This may have caused the population of ape A to become split into two, and therefore each group pursued it’s own independent evolutionary path. One group remained in the forest and so there were few external pressures for it to change – it would eventually evolve into chimpanzees. The other group must have come under some environmental pressure to cause it to change. This may have been a further thinning of the forest it was living in, but for whatever reason, it gradually evolved to become more adapted to living in the plains rather than the forest. This branch eventually became modern humans.
So ape A is the common ancestor we share with chimpanzees and makes them our closest living cousin within the animal world. It also means that the chimpanzee’s closest cousin is us, rather than any other ape. We have both had the same amount of time to evolve since ape A existed, but the reason we look so dissimilar is due to the different path that the environment led us to take – we took to the plains and became hunter gatherers instead of staying in the forests.
The next nearest living relative to us (and chimpanzees) is the gorilla and we need to go back 7 million years from present to find the ancestor we all share – call it ape B. Again it would have lived in the African forest and there would have been a split in the population somehow, one line leading to gorillas and the other to ape A, and subsequently to chimpanzees and us.
Going back even further, about 18 million years from present, we come across the common ancestor to all the great apes. Great apes comprise gibbons, orang utans, gorillas, chimpanzees and humans. They are a separate group from monkeys and the key difference is that apes have no tail whereas all monkeys do (though in a few it is almost reduced to nothing). This is a good illustration of how common ancestors are so useful in defining evolutionary paths and modern classification. If apes are defined as separate from monkeys due to their lack of tail (although it’s actually slightly more complicated than that), then this could be traced back to the one single species that lacked a tail and is ancestor to all subsequent apes.
All major groupings will have a single common ancestor at some point. So for example the first mammal species I talked about in a previous post would have had mammary glands, three bones in the ear, warm blood and fur – and this is why all mammals possess these and why we put them into a group separate from all other animals. As we go back in time there will be common ancestors to larger and larger groupings, until we reach that one first originator of all life with that one huge characteristic that all life shares – DNA. | 2019-04-19T19:13:50Z | https://dcroucher.wordpress.com/tag/tree-of-life/ |
Dr. Gregg C. Anderson, D.C.
I hear it all in my office! In training to become a Sacramento chiropractor, I learned that taking a good patient history of the "chief complaint" is vital to an accurate diagnosis: What happened? What hurts? How bad? How long? Does is burn, ache, throb? Does anything help? Etc.
I've got to admit, I've heard some "doozie" stories: "I fell off the ladder." I took a tumble off the roof." "I skied into a pole." "I got rear-ended." "I tried to lift the..." There seem to be an endless list of major back catastrophes.
More often than not however, I hear stories "incredible" stories like these: "I bent over to pick up my shoe, my back went out, and now I am in so much pain, I can't stand it." Or "I got out of bed and by back went into spasm. That was a week ago!" Once I heard this one; "I leaned over while brushing my teeth, and I couldn't straighten-up. Now my leg is numb too."
These minimal events cause many more problems than the major traumas. Seems crazy huh! It does not make sense to most people how such little stresses can cause such severe problems.
When you understand how backs typically fail, it makes perfect sense. I sometimes use with the following example: Perhaps you remember the marble game called Kerplunk? Picture a vertical clear plastic cylinder with several long colored sticks going through the sides in all directions. Then there are a few dozen marbles sitting on top of them.
The game requires the player to cautiously remove only one stick at a time, being careful not to let the marbles fall through. Finally, when a player removes just one too many straws, it's Kerplunk! Some or all of the marbles fall to the bottom and that player is the loser. Backs go Kerplunk too. It happens all the time and is the cause of much pain, disability and confusion.
The reason most backs fail is actually simple. It is no mystery to spinal specialists. Over the course of a lifetime, your back is subjected to numerous stresses and strains from normal activities and perhaps a few more significant injuries. They can be minor, have little symptoms, and are usually self-limiting, meaning within a few days or weeks, the pain goes away all by itself.
It is important to look deep into the back to understand what that means. Whenever there is enough stress on any joint of the back, there is some microscopic tearing of the tissue that holds you together (ligaments) and those that stabilize your back ( core muscles).
When there are these "sub-failure" micro-tear injuries happen, the body will initiate the normal process of inflammation. This process involves an amazing sequence of healing chemistry that leads to the actual repair of the injured tissue. The tissue repair is ultimately performed by specialized cells called fibroblasts. Within a few weeks, they complete the repair with what is essentially, scar tissue.
If the injured parts are not re-aligned and mobilized during healing, this poorly adapted scar tissue can glue-up the joints and limit normal movement and function.
Without normal function, the deep core stabilizing muscles don't get full action as you move through your day, and like any unused muscle, they weaken and can't do their job. This weakening is often slow and progressive. Then, just like the weakening support of the marbles as the sticks are withdrawn in the Kerplunk game, stabilization is lost and it only takes a very small stress to make your back go "Kerplunk"-more tissue damage, spasm, pain and disability.
I highly recommend you visit my Sacramento Chiropractic practice for an honest assessment of your Kerpunk-li-ness, and I'll help you keep all your marbles where they belong!

The world is slowly understanding the need to conserve and protect the environment and stop water wastage. As this awareness is growing and seeds of change are being planted in people’s mind rain chains are fast gaining popularity. The rain water is collected at the end of a rain chain into a barrel or urn and is reused for gardening, washing the drive way but this rain water is definitely not for consumption. Copper is a natural reusable resource and since it is recyclable it is the metal of choice for us. Do away with plastic downspouts and replace them with our heavy gauge pure untreated copper rain chain and feel good about making smart choices. | 2019-04-22T02:15:27Z | https://ifttt.com/applets/171782p-monarch-rain-chains-offers-an-unmatched-exceptional-range-of-100-pure-copper-rain-chains-in-natura |

Wild week at the Shore Conference as #1 St. John Vianney took on Rumson, Lenape and Holmdel and won all three contests. We saw two undefeated division teams get knocked off when Southern lost to Toms River North and Manchester lost to Point Boro which opened the race now for both divisions. Neptune, St. Rose, Middletown South and Vianney all moved one game closer to taking their division crowns. With just two weeks remaining before the Shore Conference Tournament selection, a total of 22 teams are above .500 and five more are looking to get to the .500 mark to qualify for the tournament.
Standings are based on stats and scores reported to Shore Sports Network by coaches/team representatives. Coaches may email corrections to [email protected].

You may remember, dear reader, that I have called a bear market for equities. How am I doing so far? Well, the S&P 500 is up 13% from its February 11th intra-day low (1812). That sure doesn’t look good, does it? But I’m still convinced I’m right. I haven’t shorted the market yet, and won’t until the S&Ps break that February low. So this rally hasn’t hurt me, it’s just annoying to have to wait.Maybe Wall Street still has inventory to unload, as David Stockman says.
The signs of an impending flush are now everywhere. The March 15 release of business sales for January, for example, showed another down month. The critical inventory-to-sales ratio for the entire economy is now at 1.40—–a ratio last recorded in May 2009.
Once upon a time, when I was a young lad, investors used to watch the real economy, not the latest Fed head jabbering on CNBC. One of the things we paid keen attention to was the inventory-to-sales ratio because we knew that’s where recessions came from, and recessions were not good for the stock market.
When sales slow down, inventories build up. The build in inventories actually continues to boost GDP because the supply chain hasn’t got the message yet. When they do, they stop producing as much, inventories fall faster than sales and the GDP falls, giving us an official recession…ALWAYS after the fact. Those who watch GDP, like most economists, totally miss the boat. They never call the recession before it starts because they follow their models and not the real economy. Only highly intelligent and educated people can be this stupid, as I am fond of saying.
Business sales as reported on March 15 were down by 5.1% from their July 2014 peak. Declines of this magnitude have occurred only twice since 1992 and both times they signalled a recession.
Here is the chart of total business sales for all levels of the economy. Is this hard to understand?
The shaded areas mark recessions.
If you haven’t sold your stocks yet, the gods of the markets are giving you another chance, just an eyelash below the all-time highs. Accept the gift, dear reader, accept the gift.

My first week on the job as First Lite’s sales intern was definitely a whirlwind. Moving from PA to ID meant a lot of changes and one of the most exciting involved hunting. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on an elk tag which meant I would be going on my first spot stalk style hunt! We wasted no time and within the first few days of being in Idaho, I set out to find some elk.
pack out meat if we were successful in our hunt. We climbed and climbed quickly (working a 9-5 job only allows for so much week day hunting). Panting, sweating, and legs burning we reached the top of a ridge and began to glass. We scanned the mountains up and down, left to right, trying to spot a big brown elk. Glassing was more difficult than I had expected. The focus it requires, especially when recovering from the huffing and puffing of the climb, is another bullet point to the list of reasons why hunting is tough. To my surprise, I saw the brown blob I was looking for. It was the first elk I had seen in person and even though she was over a mile away, my excitement was uncontrollable. We watched for a minute or two longer and spotted what looked to be 2-4 other cows and possibly a bull. My first elk hunt was in full swing.
Move fast. That was all I could think while we hurried down the mountain. Daylight was against us, which added to the pressure to move quickly. We jumped back into the truck and drove about a mile to a portion of the road where we were better able to put a stalk on the elk. We were back to climbing straight up a mountain, but this time I was even more focused on staying quiet, avoiding stomping on sticks, and keeping my eyes up, ears alert. We reached the portion of the mountain where we thought we had last seen the herd. I had read it can be extremely difficult to relocate game after spotting them, and now I understood why. We paused for a second to try and determine where we saw them last when I heard ‘crunch, crunch, crunch.’ A quick hand signal and a turn of my head toward the direction of the noise and we simultaneously stopped and lowered our bodies to the ground. Here is where the classic hunting adrenaline rush ran through my body. Crouching as still as possible, eyes wide and ears intently listening, I waited while my heart pounded through chest. We continued to hear the elk crunching just 40-50 yards below us, but I still did not have eyes on them. I nocked an arrow and readied my release. There was a patch of brush blocking a portion of my view, but between a few branches, I saw her. She was about 35 yards from me, staring right into my eyes. I did not move (I don’t even think I took a breath). With her nostrils flaring and ears wiggling back and forth, I was sure she would spook off, but eventually she dropped her head and slowly moved back down the mountain. I would have taken a shot right there, but the brush was too thick and stopped me from drawing back my bow. The three of us looked at each other with a sort of “hell yeah, here we go” head nod then turned our attention back toward the action. All elk were out of sight, but we could still hear them, so I decided I would make a move toward the brush as a safe place to set up for a shot (we initially crouched down in a place with no cover) and to see if there was in fact a bull in the herd. As I began to crawl, we heard a big blow through the nose of what I like to imagine was a large bull. There must have been eyes on me that I did not see before I began to move. They knew we were there and not a second later the stampede of elk ran down the mountain. The sound of this elk herd running was louder than anything I could have imagined. I could literally feel the sounds and vibrations through my body. With that, I knew the hunt was over. I collapsed over my pack, dropped by bow, and felt the strangest sensation of exhilaration and heart break all in one moment. I was so overwhelmed with happiness to have had such an experience for my first elk hunt, and crushed with defeat because I had spooked the herd off. It was such a beautiful, raw moment that I will surely never forget. | 2019-04-21T17:08:00Z | http://www.thesportsmansbox.com/sportsmens-blog/2015/9/28/a-first-elk-hunt |

Annо 2205 is a city-building and economic simulation game, with real-time strategy elements, as opposed to the previous installments which feature a historical setting.
In the game, players take on the role of a leader from a corporation and must compete against other corporations in developing future technologies.
At the beginning of the game, players are tasked to build different metropolises on Earth.
Population increases when more buildings are built, and players are tasked to satisfy and fulfill the needs of their citizens.
Besides building houses, players must also produce goods and to build infrastructures like robot production facilities to maintain economy.
These buildings can be relocated or moved around by players. Similar to SimCity, different parts can be added to buildings to enhance their functions.
Upgrading the production structures of these buildings can also improve their efficiency. | 2019-04-21T10:51:23Z | https://daryldixon.gala100.net/pc-game-anno-2205-skachat-free-download/ |
Figures for top states show firstly the states where most people called ALCARAZ live. This obviously tends to be biased towards the most populous states. The second set of figures show where people called ALCARAZ represent the biggest proportion of the population. So, in this case, there are more people called ALCARAZ in California than any other state, but you are more likely to find a ALCARAZ by picking someone at random in California than anywhere else.
The following names have similar spellings or pronunciations as ALCARAZ.
The following words are slight variants of ALCARAZ that are likely to be possible typos or misspellings in written material. | 2019-04-20T14:44:00Z | http://americansurnames.us/surname/ALCARAZ |
Spem in alium was written by Thomas Tallis in c1570 and stands apart from most other choral music because it is written for 40 parts. Most choral music, regardless of the number of people in the choir, only has 4-6 parts. Just for its sheer flamboyance, Spem is famed among choristers due to the challenges of learning and performing it.
Delving into the details of how the music is constructed, rather than being written for a single choir of 40 voices, it is written for eight choirs each of five voices. Each choir comprises one soprano, one alto and either two tenors and one baritone, or one tenor and two baritones.
I decided it would be fun to experiment with recording it, although I don’t currently have access to a choir of 40 with the time to learn and perform it! I thought about William Orbit‘s recording of Barber’s Adagio for Strings and how well the gentle synthesised sounds worked for him. I’m no expert at electronic music but it is something I have played with in the past.
Being out of copyright, it was easy (and legal!) to obtain a MIDI file of Spem which contains the 40 parts as separate tracks. I imported it into my favourite musical editor, MuseScore, and had a look at the tracks.
For those not in the know, MIDI files don’t contain sound but rather are the computerised equivalent of sheet music – they contain instructions about what notes to play. The computer generates the sound during playback by using a soundfont, which contains sound samples. Just like a real font with a text document, you can change the soundfont for a different sound. The default soundfont with MuseScore is reasonably good but the choir sound is lacking. I downloaded a few free soundfonts until I found one with a choir sound that I liked.
As well as using a soundfont to play MIDI files back, MuseScore can generate a WAV or MP3 sound file from the MIDI file. I got MuseScore to export each choral part as a separate sound file, which can then be edited using a multi-track sound editor – in my case, Adobe Audition. I told MuseScore not to add any effects like reverb to the output, as I’ll do that later.
Traditionally, when performing Spem, the 40 choristers stand in a semicircular shape around the conductor, grouped in their eight choirs. This is how I configured my first attempt with the 40 singers standing in a semicircle.
I wondered about arranging the voices grouped not in choirs but in parts: into soprano, alto, tenor and baritone. This would mean all the high notes coming from the left and all the low notes from the right, and that would also sound odd.
Eventually I decided to sort the voices using a numerical pattern to split up the choirs and the parts so there would be no overall weighting. I made a spreadsheet to work out the ordering, and then spread the 40 voices over the arc, 5 degrees apart with a total spread of 200 degrees – just over a full semicircle.
With the positioning set, I applied gentle compression to each individual voice part to limit the dynamic range and then added a surround reverb to the master channel (i.e., after the parts have been mixed). I chose a cathedral reverb for a long duration and a large, swimmy effect.
The final recording was mastered for 5.1 surround but there’s also a stereo version for Internet compatibility.
As a bonus, I’ve also included Spem rendered for more traditional electronic synthesizers, with each of the eight choirs taking on a different synthesized sound.
Last but not least, I thought I’d render a recording of another of my favourite choral pieces, When to the temple Mary went by Johannes Eccard. It was written around the same time as Spem and also sound richer than the average choral motet because it is written for six parts rather than the more common four. I experimented with sounds but didn’t like either the choral or synth takes, so I decided to render it for string sextet. I think it works quite nicely, and if I can ever get my hands on a real string sextet then I will ask them to play it! | 2019-04-18T12:23:22Z | https://jonathangazeley.com/2016/11/13/spem-in-alium-a-motet-for-40-synthesizers/ |

Independence Day. John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail, the following: "It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore."
They had just finished the Declaration of Independence, letting the big boys back in England know that they were fed up.
Tired of the shackles, inane regulations and the out-of-touch regulators themselves.
I wonder what the signers would have thought the next year, if some city fathers decided that the kids could not light off a firecracker. Maybe there would have been a second Boston Tea Party.
OK, I can accept the "No Fireworks" in the county-rural areas. But wouldn't it have made sense to allow fireworks inside the city limits? I am a lifelong Kansas resident, having lived through some really dry years. Firecrackers and other fun things are what make Independence Day what it is. Kids need the opportunity to step on a burning ember or experience a firecracker popping their fingers. I don't recall a house fire in Hays due to fireworks since moving here in 1970. This is the second year for this limitation.
Now that our governing regulators have established policy to do away with what John Adams envisioned, the sad refrain begins. The fat lady sings and weeps.
I plan on buying some firecrackers in Plainville. There will be a "Hays Tea Party" on the Fourth of July. Bang, bang. | 2019-04-21T08:08:52Z | https://www.hdnews.net/4ca222c0-3907-534e-b695-ae6a2d2e30e6.html |
For much of the last decade, Apple has been consolidating its control over the chips embedded in its products to support graphics, machine learning and other tasks. Inside some of its latest iPhones is another custom chip, a new main power management IC (PMIC) that Apple designed to prolong battery life. Dialog Semiconductor had until recently been selling Apple that part.
The importance of this tiny component came through on Thursday. As part of a $600 million deal, Dialog said it would license the main PMIC technology it developed for the iPhone and transfer around 300 chip engineers to Apple. The company said that the deal allowed it to continue selling main PMICs to other customers and in other markets like the Internet of Things.
Apple is technically paying $300 million in the transaction, which includes patents and licenses from Dialog. The other $300 million is a prepayment for other products to be shipped to Apple within the next three years. Most of the 300 employees being transferred in the deal—which account for around 16 percent of Dialog's total workforce—were already working on chips specifically for Apple products.
On Thursday, Dialog also announced that it had signed new contracts with Apple to supply power management, audio subsystem, charging and mixed-signal integrated circuits. The company, whose shares increased 25 percent following the news, said that it would start earning revenue from the new contracts next year. Another part of the deal: Apple will take over four Dialog offices in Italy, Germany and Britain.
The deal not only removes the uncertainty around Dialog’s relationship with Apple. It could also bolster the company’s attempts to reduce its dependence on Apple. That means expanding its presence in markets like the Internet of Things, which includes smart home appliances and smart watches. The company expects its advanced mixed-signal, connectivity, automotive and industrial businesses to grow between 10 and 15 percent from 2018 to 2022.
“We believe that this transaction is in the best interests of our employees and shareholders who will benefit from a business with enhanced focus, strong growth prospects and additional financial flexibility to invest in strategic growth initiatives,” said Jalal Bagherli, the company’s chief executive officer, in a statement. “Going forward, we will have a clear strategic focus,” he added.
Supplying chips for hundreds of millions of iPhones and other Apple products every year can fundamentally change a company’s fortunes. But the sudden loss of that business can have catastrophic results. Over the last decade, Apple has been ramping up the development of custom chips for tasks like image processing and machine learning. The company introduced its first ARM-based SoC for the iPhone and iPad in 2010.
The potential dangers were underlined when Imagination Technologies announced last year that Apple would remove its graphics processing units (GPUs) from the iPhone’s core chipset for the first time in a decade. Apple developed a homegrown GPU architecture in its place to improve realism of reflected light and other graphics. The move eliminated a significant amount of Imagination’s business, which has been split up and sold off.
Apple deployed the same strategy with Dialog, which will continue selling main power management products to the Cupertino, California-based company before they are gradually scooped out of the iPhone and Apple's other hardware starting in 2019. Bagherli said that the company would continue supplying Apple with current and future generations of another power management chip, the sub-PMIC.
Before Thursday’s announcement, Dialog's market value had been cleaved in half over the last year amid warnings that Apple would develop custom power management chips. For much of the last year, Bagherli has struggled to tamp down concerns about its business. In June, the company acknowledged that Apple was adding another source for its PMIC components. That caused Dialog to lower its projected 2018 sales by around five percent.
Dialog said that the deal would not reduce this year’s revenue. But the company will not take home any revenue from the main PMIC components inside the 2019 iPhone or the 2020 iPad and Apple Watch. Revenue from the licensing deal with Apple is estimated to be $875 million in 2018. But it will decline in the second half of next year, phasing out by 2022. The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2019.
Following the deal, the company’s headcount will decline to around 1,800. Its sub-PMIC business with Apple, on target for $150 million before the end of the year, is projected to increase to around $450 million by 2022. Dialog expects Apple to account for between 35 and 40 percent of its 2022 revenues, down from an estimated 75 percent this year, the company said. | 2019-04-24T20:40:36Z | https://www.electronicdesign.com/embedded-revolution/apple-takes-over-part-dialog-semiconductor-600-million-deal |

In August of 2018 Luis Javier Hernandez the Mayor of Villalba Puerto Rico traveled to Hoboken NJ to meet with Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla and City Council President Ruben Ramos Jr. Mayor Hernandez described the conditions of his city after Hurricane Maria and the challenges he is faced with. Mayor Bhalla decided to adopt Villalba, Puerto Rico as Hoboken’s sister city and committed to help them by donating 3 police cars and 360 bullet proof panels to be used with their bullet proof vests to help his police force. On Wednesday, January 16, 2019 the city council unanimously voted to donate 3 Hoboken police cars and 360 bullet proof vests to the city of Villalba, Puerto Rico to help rebuild their fleet.
In addition to the police equipment Director Leo Pellegrini, The Puerto Rican Culture Committee, Hoboken High school Hispanic club, More4amore, and Joe Branco decided to collect used kids soccer and baseball equipment to send to the boys and girls of Villalba Puerto Rico. With the help of the Hoboken Community we collected a lot of equipment.
The Rotary Club of Jersey City will be handling all the logistics to help ship and deliver all 3 police cars, vests, and kids sporting equipment we have been collecting over the last couple of months.
We are having a fundraiser on Monday, February 11th at Texas Arizona in Hoboken. We are having this event to bring awareness to our mission and to raise money to assist with some of the transportation costs associated with the donation of these items to Puerto Rico. | 2019-04-19T06:23:19Z | https://www.insidernj.com/press-release/rotary-club-jersey-city-hold-fundraiser-benefit-puerto-rico/ |

I am 34 and am really just now beginning to understand the power of food. It is everything. What we eat has the power to make us better or worse. I've been listening to podcasts and reading tons of articles about this topic, and I am even more passionate than ever about spreading this message to the masses. Food has the power to alter your moods, your energy, and remedy your ailments, aches, pains, illnesses, and more. And yes, this can feel a bit scary. But it is also incredibly empowering.
I have been eating clean for 4 years now, and carb cycling for the past 5 weeks. Having a solid foundation of "clean eating" was very helpful for moving into carb cycling. It is a simple strategy to implement, but it requires REALLY cleaning up your diet for at least 6 days a week. The carbs you eat are complex carbs like rice, sweet potatoes, oatmeal, and quinoa. No bread and no pasta. And no refined sugar. Working through this program has really allowed me to become in touch with my body and what it needs, how it responds to food, and what works best to keep me functioning at my best. I'm incredibly aware of how everything I am eating affects me, and it's thrilling!
When I was in my 20's, I always had an upset stomach. At least once a day, every day, my stomach hurt. And I legit just thought it was part of being alive. Some foods just hurt when they digest. Now that I have cleaned up my diet, if I have an upset stomach, I can pinpoint what caused it and when it started. And then I can correct it. That was a result of eating clean. But let's take it a step further. NOW that I am carb cycling, I can tell you exactly what foods give me the best energy, sleep, and feel-good feeling. It's amazing!
Everyone deserves to feel their best. I want to help as many people as I can find that power that is within them to transform their health and their lives. If you are ready for my help, I will be leading another group of participants through my Carb Cycling 101 program. Will be begin on May 8th.

This Osprey Command title looks closely at the early life, military experiences and key battlefield exploits of Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery, first Viscount Montgomery of Alamein (1887-1976), perhaps the best-known, most highly respected and most controversial British general of World War II. "Monty's” reputation was made while in command in North Africa, in the Mediterranean and then North-West Europe. Arguably his best-known achievement was rebuilding a dispirited and defeated eighth army and inflicting a decisive defeat on Rommel at El Alamein. Montgomery's style and exercise of command and his personal reputation were largely shaped by his highly driven, but often difficult and enigmatic personality. He made an incalculable contribution to the Allied victory in Europe, and his leadership had played a crucial role in transforming the British Army into a war-winning weapon.

DID L’il Masters Season 3 — ‘Bacchagiri’ saw so many talented kids on the show who left the judged stunned by their performances. Sachin was one such participant who was just too good! He not only danced on the song “Kurbaan Hua” but also did mimicry of Sunny Deol, Akshay Kumar and Nagarjuna by saying their dialogues from Bollywood movies.
His performance was just superb. Judges asked him why he has come on dance show, he should go on acting shows. Yes, his acting was so real that judges felt as if he was saying all that to them with fire in his eyes. This is not the end of the story. You know what he did after this?
He did shayari. Yes. He requested Geeta Maa, one of the judges from the show, to come on the stage and the way he did shayari was like that of a professional. Sachin is a multi talented boy and DID L’il Master has found this talent for the world.
Watch this video and see how well he danced and acted. He doesn’t need to join any acting school. Just a little bit of polishing is enough. Superb, minblowing, awesome. Dance was just the beginning for this little talent. He could have go on and on but because of the time, judges had to stop him.
Geeta Maa even told him he doesn’t need to bring anyone along. There are so many souls living inside him. Hawww! This was scary. But the boy laughed. He understood what she was trying to say. He acted so well and did so fine mimicry, it seemed as if different people were speaking through him. Sachin is truly a Li’l Master.

Prominent Nigerian commercial bank, Access Bank has reportedly acquired Diamond Bank.
After months of speculations over the future of Diamond Bank, TheCable quoted insiders as saying that the official announcement of the transaction will be made in the course of the week by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
It is believed that the acquisition was midwifed by the CBN in a bid to further consolidate the banking industry.
Also corroborating with the online newspaper, ThisDay reports that the two banks finally agreed to merge on Sunday, signing a Memorandum of Agreement, which if approved by the country’s apex bank and the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), would move Access Bank, the principal partner, from number four to number two or number one in the nation’s banking hierarchy, if the current growth trajectory of Access Bank is maintained.
It was gathered that the boards of the two banks met at about 7pm, yesterday and passed the resolutions agreeing to merge subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals.
Also speaking on the merger agreement last night, Access Bank’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Herbert Wigwe, told ThisDay.
“Access Bank has a strong track record of acquisition and integration which has a clear growth strategy.
Bear in mind that last week, Diamond Bank announced its decision to drop its international operating licence to focus on national operations following capitalisation issues.
The bank’s chief executive officer, Uzoma Dozie, had confirmed in a statement released on Friday that it would cease to operate as an international bank. | 2019-04-20T02:49:15Z | https://www.360nobs.com/2018/12/access-bank-takes-over-diamond-bank/ |
A yod is formed when two planets that are sextile also form an inconjunct to another planet. These planets are in different signs and modes and are deeply significant, for they usually symbolize patterns in families that have lasted for generations. This is what Hamaker-Zondag discovered when she started to research the inconjunct aspect as it related to a yod. Also included in this book is a complete discussion of how the energies of unaspected planets, and planets in duet (that only aspect each other) are expressed in a person's birth chart. Hamaker-Zondag says that people with a yod are often insecure, or have trouble expressing themselves, and there is an emphasis on stalemates or unusual situations. She analyzes the background and places it in a broader perspective, including how she works with elements, modes, orbs, and other astrological factors when interpreting this aspect. All in all, this is one of the most exciting books on aspect interpretation published in recent years!
Included are great case histories: you have a chance to examine the Monica Lewinsky, Linda Tripp, Kenneth Starr, Bill Clinton scenario and see it with new eyes. And Princess Diana, Prince Charles, and Prince William are not without these family patterns. The stories are profound. These aspects work in the lives of people who change the world, people who have lived the unpopular position of stalemate, delay, and social change indicated by the presence of a yod in their natal chart, by transit, or by progression. She uses the examples of Gandhi, Vaclav Havel, Khomeini, Solzhenitsyn, Willy Brandt, C. G. Jung, Jim Jones, and others. To help you work with your own clients, Hamaker-Zondag brings in the charts of her personal clients and explains them in depth.
When you've read this book, you'll want to check out the charts of everyone you know! | 2019-04-19T17:05:02Z | http://redwheelweiser.com/detail.html?session=df427551750c059411dd7e481e2f0ba9&id=9781578631636 |
