It appears that Roger Stone may be in serious trouble. The special prosecutor, Robert Mueller, appears to be after him.\nIt is not inconceivable now that Mr. Mueller and his team may seek to conjure up some extraneous crime pertaining to my business, or maybe not even pertaining to the 2016 election. I would chalk this up to an effort to silence me.\nIt needs to be understood that Mueller is a political animal and the elite establishment political class have likely given him the go-ahead to go after Roger. If not having demanded it!\nWalter Mondale's vice-presidential running mate, Geraldine Ferraro, during Mondale's failed 1984 presidential bid. He was instrumental in taking down New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. And for good measure, after the death of Barbara Bush, he called her a "mean-spirited vindictive drunk."\nDo you see why the establishment is giving Mueller the green light to go after Roger?\nAnd Mueller is digging. Six Stone associates of one sort or another have reportedly been questioned by Mueller, including, John Kakanis, who has worked as an assistant to Stone in several capacities and Jason Sullivan, a lawyer and social media expert who has worked for Stone.\nThis means Mueller either hasn't found anything to charge Roger with, yet, and is still looking, or Mueller wants to nail Roger down so completely that he is going to nail him to a cross with more nails than were used on Jesus Christ.\nNow, I believe Roger is smart and is careful and unlikely to knowingly cross legal lines. But when you have the full weight of a special prosecutor digging through your entire life, who knows what they can find and twist into an indictment.\nIf they nail Roger, he is going to have to make some tough decisions.\nDoes he hang tough and fight it out with a jury trial and hope he can prove his innocence, or hope beyond hope that at least one juror can be convinced of his innocence or believes in jury nullification and stands tough against a guilty vote?\nDoes he hang tough and hope for a Trump pardon? And remember, Roger and Trump were mentored by the tough as a rock fixer Roy Cohn. Cohn was responsible for Trump getting his start in Manhattan by getting Trump the permits and tax deal for the property where he built his first Manhattan building, the Grand Hyatt. He also got Trump a 40-year, $400 million! tax abatement for the Penn Central land he bought on the west side of Manhattan. And Cohn was also responsible for getting Trump's sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, her judgeship.\nIn other words, Trump should have been ever grateful to Cohn. But when Cohn was diagnosed with AIDS, Trump cut his ties with Cohn. The dying Cohn said, "Trump pisses ice water."\nAnd it appears the establishment may be working to put a wedge between Roger and Trump. New York magazine has a cover story out on Cohn. The story includes a sidebar with snippets from the personal notebook of Christine Seymour, a switchboard operator in the office of Cohn from the late 1960s until his death in 1986.\n[Roger Stone] worked with Roy heavily before and after elections...Roger did not like Trump or Si Newhouse--told me they were losers--but if Roy used them, he would, too.\nI never said Trump was a loser. Why would I say that?\nSo Roger really would have to calculate, Does he have enough on Trump that Trump would fear not giving him a pardon? Roger was something akin to Trump's consigliere at different times so Roger would know a lot.\nOr does he flip? But given the elite establishment hate for Roger, it would have to be much more than an ordinary flip.\nIt would have to be a series of street style multi-flips.\nI hope this all works out for Roger. I have always thought of him as a destroyer of politicians.\nIf this were a Shakespeare play, Roger entering on stage would always mean a plot revealed to take down an evil politician. And that is always a good thing. But right now Roger is off stage, just to the side and no one knows how the final act will play out.\nI tuned in to the live Infowars show on Sunday. Alex Jones was on fire, more so than usual. He was hinting he and Roger Stone had some good dirt on Mueller. Something about two dudes connected to 9-11 and how Mueller had them offed. I can't remember the names of the dudes. Stay tuned, it could get real interesting!\nRoger Stone will never cooperate with these assholes, pardon or not. |
This is the most important beach in the south circuit equipped with all modern amenities like air-conditioned resort complexes, tourist cottages, discos, seashell artefact stalls, refreshment stalls, eateries, guest houses, expanding the village enormously.\nThe Church of Our Lady Of Mercy in Colva is famous for its miracle statue of Menino Jesus. The road leading from the Church to the beach is where all the facilities are located.\nColva is a small village in south Goa on the shores of the miracle statue. It lies 39 km away from Panaji, capital of the Indian state of Goa. Two km further ahead from Colva is Benaulim.\nWith 20 km of virgin white sands, palm fringed, and sun drenched beaches, Colva is the most loved beach of Goans. Colva, unlike Anjuna or Calangute, gained popularity only lately. It was little disturbed and life moved on quietly.\nWhile taking a stroll on the Colva Beach, silver carpets of bangdde (mackerels) can be viewed shimmering on the golden sands for drying. Fishermen’s motor trawlers can be seen anchored in a line offshore. Tourists—Indian and foreigners, as well as locals—can be seen in colorful dresses, coming either for a walk or ‘for a change of air’. Many tourists can be seen having a sunbath on the golden sands.\nThe trinket stalls and the drink stands on the golden sands under the moonlight make the evening on the Colva Beach utterly romantic. |

The two phenomena involved [“diversity of individual stands, and relative differentiation of vegetation patterns along topographic moisture gradients”] suggest the need for distinguishing three aspects or levels of species-diversity in natural comnmunities: (1) The richness in species of a particular stand or community, or a given stratum or group of organisms in a stand. Fisherʼs (1943) alpha index is one means of measuring this, which may be designated primary or “alpha” diversity.\nWhittaker, R.H. (1960). Vegetation of the Siskiyou Mountains, Oregon and California. Ecol. Monogr. 30, 279-338: 320.\nalpha diversity The diversity of species within a particular habitat or community; cf. beta diversity, gamma diversity.\nLincoln, R.J., Boxshall, G.A. & Clark, P.F. (1982). A Dictionary of Ecology, Evolution and Systematics: 11. |
Perhaps you’ve heard of Madame Pele. You certainly will have become familiar with her by the time you leave these islands. Pele, Goddess of Fire, is the most famous of all the legendary Hawaiian gods and goddesses. Lurking in the craters of the Big Island’s Kilauea Volcano, she’s been sending those fiery rivers of lava down into the ocean, adding new land to the island almost continuously for the last quarter of a century. Stories – from perfectly sober and reasonable people – are told about picking up an old woman dressed all in white and accompanied by a little dog along roads in Kilauea National Park; then, when checking the rear-view mirror, the drivers find their back seats to be empty. Visitors have discovered Pele’s face in photographs of eruptions when they get back home, and swear the image was not there originally. Those of us who live in the islands speak very respectfully of the goddess.\nThese islands, Oahu in particular, have become well known around the world to people who are interested in supernatural phenomenon. As Oahu has grown and developed in since the 1940’s, sacred grounds have been desecrated, buildings have gone up over ancient burial grounds, and roadways have been laid out through rainforests that had been untouched since the beginning of time and through caves of buried and beloved ancestors.\nThere now are tours on Oahu of some of the most haunted places. The guides know how to tell spooky stories, and they know their stuff. They claim all the stories they tell are true, and will assure you that all the sites they take you to are real based on historical and ancestral information and eyewitness accounts. Some sites may simply be reputed hotspots where ghosts have made homes and paranormal activity is unexplained. Both walking and driving tours are offered. The tour operators caution that, while kids are welcome, some of the stories and the intensity with which they’re told might not be suitable for some young children. If you’re interested in ghosts or paranormal phenomena, Hawaii-Aloha Travel will set up a tour for you while you’re here. Call us at 1-800-843-8771, or go to the home page Hawaii-aloha.com and select an agent. |
to get in some Strength training and stretches. Often, I go to bed and do some basic strength training and then stretches. It's great to stretch before sleep anyway, nice and relaxing! Now, if you're into more intense Strength training, then just before bed might not be a good time, but if you're that extreme, then your training routine might be a higher priority through your day, anyway! For most of us, though, a little will go a long way!\nDoing them is more important than tracking them. |
Recently, Jodie contacted me to take a few portraits for an upcoming project. Jodie and I had worked previously but decided to do a reshoot. She wanted to refine the look we were aiming for.\nDuring post-processing, a few were selected for a black and white conversion. I was immediately struck by the impact it made.\nI’d been obsessing lately with colour grading so it was nice to return to a favourite genre – a portrait in mono. |

Oliver enjoys being on his own and has lots of adventures with his imaginary friends. However, there are some things he has to do on his own as his imaginary friends can’t join him. One day, he loses his tennis ball and this leads him to meet someone else who was a bit different too.\nThis book about not fitting in and being different to those around you celebrates this fact and shows the joy to be found in imaginative, solitary activity. In this sense, the book takes a somewhat different perspective to other texts on similar topics. However, while the pleasure of this is acknowledged, so too is the loneliness. The comfort and reassurance of finding someone else who is “different” too is emphasised at the book’s conclusion, when Oliver finds a female friend, extending the experience of feeling different to girls too. A further interesting feature of this book is that it does not suggest Oliver is on the autistic spectrum, as many books about children preferring solitude appear to suggest. |

The multisensory reading exercises are a good addition to conventional teaching and reading at home for educators and schoolchildren. Use Reading Raven to help your kid develop reading skills and see how he or she learns.\nHe teaches children every character of the script, from character identification and phonic to finding characters, word making and creating basic expression.

No one can be free if they don’t have any real choices. It’s always had to come down to the spontaneous unplanned decision that needs to happen in THAT moment. They can’t plan for that because even YOU don’t know what it is until you decide in that moment.\nYou have already built all the frame work and energetic infrastructure to create a free world. It’s there inside of you and in everyone else, divinely designed to perform at a moments notice according to your will.\nThese aren’t real choices. They’re decisions about what type of consequences we want to face first. The illusion of freedom where all the options extend our terms of enslavement.\ndo you want to continue to be a slave?\nFor people to choose freedom they have to know that there is a way, for everyone to THRIVE. And that “everyone”, includes them. They need to know they have real options and there is no wrong choice. They can stay in their safe world of A or B decisions and that’s fine. Or they can create all new realities that include everything from A to Z, and that’s a real option too.\nThey don’t realize that. And that’s why they keep choosing to be slaves. They can only see darkness because we haven’t given them a bright enough light to know there’s an option.\nDan and I have been broadcasting live for three to four hours a day for 39 days straight, just trying to shine that light a little brighter. I keep hoping that YouTube will realize the power of the message and break away from their controllers and force the message to go viral. But I don’t really care if it happens that way or not. I just want to build from a place where all the options and pathways are in the light so that people can see the power of what’s been in them all along.\nNow all YOU have to do is open the door and the light will come rushing in. That light will cast out the darkness, the ignorance, the doubt and the fear.\nShine brighter today than you did yesterday. You’re not showing off. You’re light is just shining through. |

Before and after pictures of my weight loss journey. I maxed at 262 lbs. before deciding to lose the fat. I started in June 2017 and finished in February 2018, losing a total of 70 lbs.\nThe life of an obese high school student: Waking up tired every morning and not wanting to get out of bed to start the day. Looking in the mirror and feeling depressed about what is seen in its reflection. Watching people run with ease, wishing you could do the same. Going to bed realizing another day to do something about it all has been wasted. Not knowing how to get out of the hole that has been dug.\nIn June 2017, I weighed 262 pounds, which is classified as obese on the Body Mass Index. In addition, I had little to no muscle mass. I was well aware I was obese because I go to a public high school and own a mirror.\nBeing obese is an endless loop of suffering, and it’s difficult to come out of it. Eating eases the depression, anxiety, fat-shaming, and self-hatred. It digs a deeper hole every day, and the self-awareness becomes worse. I would wake up the next morning only for the cycle to begin again.\nHaunted by the nightmares of obesity, I decided to break the cycle.\nI started putting on the weight in the third grade. Bad diet and poor eating habits were part of my childhood. Going into high school was the first time I truly understood my situation, and that’s when I knew I had to change.\nIt took three years for me to really get up and do something about being overweight. There were many signals that I began to pick up in my daily life that I didn’t like. For example, I’d go upstairs and I would be out of breath, constantly hot, and unable to move. I didn’t have energy, and I just didn’t enjoy being alive. I never contemplated suicide, because I knew the preciousness of life and would never do that to my family, but I had no motivation to live my daily life.\nAs I started to think about my future and a career, I found a passion and a light that helped give me a start toward change. I want to be an actor, and the one thing I can’t be as an actor is self-conscious.\nI can’t be focused on my body and wondering if it looks good while trying to perform a scene. Every movie I’d watch would serve as motivation to better myself. When I visited a set for the first time and experienced the life I wanted, I knew then I had to change. I also wanted to be athletic and move around with ease, which gave me even more motivation.\nThe biggest reason why I decided to lose the weight, though, was because I couldn’t even look at myself without being disgusted. There’s no such thing as self love when one is obese and everything feels like a hassle. After realizing what I needed to do, I surrounded myself with positive people who were there to help me. But my most important support came from myself, my attitude, and my desire for change.\nThe summer of 2017 was the summer I changed my life and began my journey. The week after school ended, I woke up every morning ready to grind. I lost weight with a combination of easy tricks.\nThe most important trick I used was intermittent fasting, which worked perfectly. Intermittent fasting is the foundation of weight loss and is used to cut fat for bodybuilders.\nDuring my fast, I only consumed grilled chicken, rice, and mixed vegetables. I stayed away from packaged foods and shopped in the produce section of the grocery store.\nI also drank more than a gallon water every day and did the best I could at running. My initial goal was to complete at least two miles in one session, whether I would accomplish that goal by jogging slowly, running, or sprinting. In Peachtree City, there many neighborhoods that are next to each other, so I created a two mile route that started and ended at my house.\nAfter several months of running my route, I increased the intensity of my routine to make it a challenge for myself and for personal gain. I then began to crave seeing results, including becoming faster, so I amplified everything I did. Whether it was going hard to the rim playing street basketball, running my route, or even working out, I always gave it my all.\nCombining all of these methods and being young made all of the fat I had fall off. Looking back on these past six months, losing weight was the easiest thing I’ve ever done.\nMonitoring my progress and tracking the results consumed my thoughts to the point where they were all I thought about. Even though other people in my life could not see the results right away, I could. Seeing even the smallest changes further provided me with the encouragement to work harder and achieve a personal level of total body fitness I could be proud of.\nAfter a solid month of being clean from junk food, everything about me became brighter. I felt lighter, more energetic, and ready to take on anything. My confidence, ambition, and spirits increased, and it felt wonderful.\nBefore my weight loss journey, everything was depressing, and now I feel on top of the world. Now I can officially say that I’m truly happy.\nWow!!! Ryan very impactful article ! Thank-you for sharing your struggle and journey towards good physical and mental health😊 You have Always been a Special young man!!!\nRyan, I so proud of you and you do look amazing. It’s not just your body you’ve worked on changing but it’s your thinking. Thanks for sharing your journey!\nI am very inspired by this article. What a massive change. The willpower Ryan exhibits says a lot about his character. Temptation is tough, especially for a teenager. Keep up the great work. Look forward to your continued success. |
A team at BuzzFeed, the news and entertainment site, knew it had struck gold when it came across a decades-old photo of Dwayne Johnson, the musclebound wrestler and film star known as The Rock, wearing a fanny pack and dated bluejeans.\nTo drum up more attention, the team changed the picture’s background to a holiday theme and added “Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree” in big lettering. But then, instead of posting the image to BuzzFeed, the team uploaded it to Instagram, the hugely popular photo-sharing service.\nThe image then took on a life of its own. Mr. Johnson quickly embraced the joke, reposting the picture to his own Instagram account. Nearly 390,000 people indicated they liked the post, and the image became the top topic of conversation on the message board site Reddit.\nBuzzFeed’s tactics could also offer a glimpse into how some personal messaging apps like Instagram, WeChat and Snapchat — already used by millions of people sharing text or images among friends — will be used in the future.\nSome publishers, game makers and e-commerce companies are using the apps as a new distribution and moneymaking platform. Developers have been expanding the uses of the apps, making new functions possible. And investors, seeing huge potential, have driven the apps to ever-higher valuations.\nThe initial appeal of the apps is simple. They are faster to use than email, and they generally allow you to send text, links, video and photos to friends more cheaply than traditional texting services offered by wireless carriers like Verizon or AT&T.\nThe uses are multiplying, though. On the app KakaoTalk, for example, people can discover other new smartphone apps and share them with their friends. On Snapchat, users can send money to one another inside the app. And Line, a messaging app popular in Japan, lets people pay for things at brick-and-mortar retail stores using Line Pay, the company’s payments service.\nSoon, media outlets like ESPN, Vice and CNN will be publishing original content directly to a new editorial section in Snapchat, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.\nNow, 40 percent of mobile subscribers in the United States use an instant messaging app on their phones at least once a month, according to data from comScore, a research firm. Globally, the use of mobile messaging apps grew 103 percent during 2014, according to Flurry, a mobile analytics firm.\nSome of the most popular options are Viber, which says it has more than 200 million monthly visitors; Line, Japan’s most popular messaging app, with 170 million users; and WhatsApp, the leading service, which has more than 700 million regular visitors.\nFor now, though, not all of the apps are generating big revenue. WhatsApp, which is owned by Facebook, reported just $10.2 million in sales in 2013. The revenue came from the small fraction of users who paid $1 to use the app.\nStill, the valuations of many messaging start-ups continue to rise. In February, Rakuten, the big Japanese online retailer, bought Viber for $900 million. The next month, the Chinese e-commerce behemoth the Alibaba Group led a $280 million investment in Tango, valuing the nearly six-year-old start-up at about $1 billion. Facebook paid $21.8 billion for WhatsApp in February.\nFor investors, the thesis is a Silicon Valley adage: Get millions of people to use the service first, and eventually it will find a way to make money.\nMany entrepreneurs see WeChat, the hugely popular Chinese service run by the Internet giant Tencent, as the ideal model for building a business in messaging. Released four years ago, the app now claims nearly 500 million monthly active users — who not only send image-laden messages, but play games and book car rides and plane tickets.\nThe rapid growth in messaging apps, some say, has been a response to the more public nature of popular apps like Twitter and Facebook, where status updates and posts are visible to the many rather than the few.\n“It’s a much more intimate experience,” said Marissa Campise, a partner at SoftBank Capital, the venture arm of Japanese telecom giant SoftBank. “Messaging apps are smaller and less visible than the public networks and far more engaged and trusted. It often feels like a more controlled, real-time replacement for email,” she said.\nMessaging users tend on average to pick up their phones several times an hour, Talmon Marco, the chief executive of Viber, noted in an interview late last year. That makes messaging apps an ideal place to introduce other offerings like games, virtual stickers or even physical goods.\nAsia has been a particularly fertile breeding ground for expanding the uses of the apps. In 2013, for example, WeChat joined Xiaomi, the Chinese smartphone giant, to offer a limited quantity of the company’s newest phone for purchase on the chat app. Users could reserve and then buy the new smartphone entirely inside the WeChat app using Tenpay, the payments service owned by Tencent. Xiaomi said it sold 150,000 phones in less than 10 minutes.\nThe WeChat app is also one of the biggest hubs for Chinese consumers to find new mobile games. Last quarter, Tencent’s mobile games revenue alone was 2.6 billion renminbi, or about $420 million.\n“They’re aggregating people’s attention and linking it to other forms of commerce,” said Mitch Lasky, a partner at the venture capital firm Benchmark and a Snapchat board member.\nTed Livingston, the chief executive of the messaging app Kik, based in Canada, has argued that younger users are coming of age in a world where their portal to the Internet has been the smartphone, and they are more willing to try new forms of commerce and discovery. |
Example: Even years after his death, she felt melancholic about his absence at times.\nI learned lots of interesting words such as brobdingnagian and pulchritudinous—words I would never have known before! When my teacher brought the words I chose and labored over up in class, I felt honored and flushed with pride.\nAt my job, my boss suggested we begin learning a word each day, signing up for the Merriam-Webster newsletter for a daily vocabulary lesson. The first one was the Latin phrase mutatis mutandis, an adverb meaning “with the necessary changes having been made” or “with the respective differences having been considered.” A new word everyday, a new sentence to compose, a new etymology to discover. There are 171,476 words that compose the English language according to the second edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.\nThere is a tiny power to behold, a morsel of delight in each word that we learn. We don’t want to stop learning, to stop feeling intelligent in some manner, to stop discovering exciting tidbits. And as much as we want to learn that language, teach ourselves woodworking, or become excellent tennis players, starting with a single word of our own language that we don’t even know to its fullest extent is a manageable way to learn, like depositing microtransactions into your brain.\nWhen I follow that vein of lexical fascination from a childhood notebook filled with words I intended to look up later to that middle school dry-erase board I so earnestly devoted time to and finally to the chalkboard wall I encounter now, I feel almost mystically attached to vocabulary, in tune with the stars, my Gemini sign manifesting itself heartily. A pair of myself in self-indulgent chatter, unearthing new ways of expressing it most accurately.\nFor others I imagine it’s something else, some other errant string to pull and find all along that it’s the obsession of a lifetime, the kernel of information to forever chew.\nI hope your find your string and follow it to its end.\nP.S. The word of the day today was palindrome. It’s a noun, meaning a word or number that appears the same forward and backwards. Example: racecar or 2002. |

Grabbing a rod and reel and hitting the open sea with a group of friends to fish is all about one word: adventure. The quest to reel in that monster fish and enjoy the great outdoors is enough to scratch the thrill-seeking itch in all of us. More often than not, we come back from a trip with some good memories, but nothing that would go so far as to inspire another Jaws sequel. However, on occasion, we have that ultimate adventure that never leaves us. Lucky for us, some of those times were caught on tape by some lucky anglers.\nThe Kayak Fishing Show with Jim Sammons has seen its fair share of saltwater giants, but nothing compares to the five-hour battle depicted in the video above. Such a fight will make you appreciate the advantages of a power boat the next time you go out for billfish.\nIf fishing for sharks from a standup paddleboard isn't an adventure, than nothing is. The angler in the video above seeks the ultimate thrill, and overcomes it as he brings the shark right up on his lap!\nWFN's own Mariko Izumi got more than she bargained for while filming a tarpon fishing episode in Boca Grande, Florida. Tarpon may be big fish, but even they are nothing but snacks for hungry sharks.\nThe crew of The Real Fishing Show with Bob Izumi reel in a massive blue shark and are tasked with bringing it in the boat for a clean release. The methods they take to subdue this giant fish is both funny and terrifying, considering the size of this toothed sea creature.\nIn search of the world's most feared animal, a group of anglers hit the beach to bring in a great white shark right to shore. Kudos to the guy chosen to paddle out amongst the sharks to set the bait. |

Tech companies pour into automotive sector, vying for a piece of the assisted and autonomous driving market.\nChip vendors and other companies that have little or no experience in automotive are flooding into this market as the race for assisted and autonomous driving begins to heat up. This market is expected to pay big dividends for companies that succeed in helping to build the vehicles of the future in this century.\nIC Insights earlier this year forecast the auto chip market would grow 22% this year to $28 billion, which is a record for the segment. In 2016, total sales were $22.9 billion, up 10.8% from the previous year.\nThe market research firm more recently revised its 2017 total semiconductor market forecast, saying the entire semiconductor industry would enjoy a 22% increase in worldwide revenue, largely driven by soaring sales of DRAMs and NAND flash memory devices this year.\nThe top global vendors in automotive ICs in 2016 were NXP Semiconductors, Infineon Technologies, Renesas Electronics, STMicroelectronics, and Texas Instruments, in that order, according to Semicast Research, with Robert Bosch, ON Semiconductor, Microchip Technology, Toshiba, and Rohm Semiconductor filling out the top 10. Those companies accounted for two-thirds of all auto chips sold last year.\nQualcomm aspires to be No. 1 in auto chips through its proposed acquisition of NXP, which vaulted to the top through its purchase of Freescale Semiconductor, completed in late 2015. Qualcomm and NXP aim to conclude their transaction by the end of 2017, although NXP has acknowledged that closing the deal may come in early 2018, due to regulatory reviews, especially that by the European Commission—and barring a potentially hostile takeover by Broadcom, which made no mention of the NXP acquisition.\nRegardless of what happens between Qualcomm, Broadcom and NXP, McKinsey & Co. estimates the worldwide automotive industry’s revenues could nearly double by 2030, to $6.7 trillion from 2016’s $3.5 trillion. New-car sales will increase from $2.75 trillion last year to $4 trillion in 2030, the management consulting and business research firm forecasts.\nMcKinsey sees four significant trends in automotive technology, all of which tie into electronics and semiconductors – vehicle electrification, increased connectivity, autonomous driving, and shared mobility services.\n“The automotive market has seldom experienced so many simultaneous disruptions. In the past few years, we have seen various technologies increasingly incorporated into the mass production of cars, including matrix LED lights, enhanced LiDAR sensors—those that use lasers to measure distance to a target—and better camera-based sensors. We have also seen improvements in 3D mapping applications, EV batteries, and augmented-reality technologies, such as heads-up displays. And 5G networks—the next generation of mobility solutions—could soon be available,” McKinsey noted this year in an article.\nFig. 1: Two different scenarios for autonomous vehicle adoption. Source: McKinsey & Co.\nIntel and Nvidia are fiercely competing to take the lead in automated driving technology. Alphabet’s Waymo business unit continues the work Google initiated in self-driving cars.\nTo a large extent, this market is brand new. Assisted driving technology, such as adaptive cruise control, has been available as an option, but not as a complete driving system. That will change as the race toward fully autonomous vehicles takes shape. And those architectures will require massive processing power, arrays of sensors, ultra-fast communication, and a huge number of semiconductors, which is why there is so much interest by technology companies in this sector.\nThere also are a number of different technologies and focus areas within this market that ultimately will need to work together as a complete system, including functional safety, computer vision, machine learning and artificial intelligence.\nIn what is perhaps a sign of things to come, companies are beginning to introduce platforms that can be scaled for more compute power and to support a number of different applications within a vehicle. NXP’s S32 is a case in point, but certainly not the only one being developed for this market.\n“A common architecture and a scalable approach can cut development time for critical applications in domains like ADAS, autonomous driving or connectivity from both the hardware and the software perspective,” Luca DeAmbroggi, senior principal analyst for Automotive Electronics & Semiconductors at IHS Markit, said in a statement.\nGeoff Lees, NXP’s senior vice president and general manager of microcontrollers, also touted the chip company’s new i.MX RT series, a line of “crossover processors” for the Internet of Things, with applications in audio subsystems, consumer and health care, home and building automation, industrial computing, motor control, and power conversion.\nGeoff Tate, the CEO of Flex Logix, said eFPGAs are being targeted at the automotive market because they can provide the “long-term reliability” that is crucial for auto electronic components. Achronix, another eFPGA vendor, also is targeting automotive electronics, according to Steve Mensor, the company’s vice president of marketing.\nAnd Silexica, a startup that provides tools for analyzing and optimizing code for multicore processors, is adapting its tools for automated driving, domain controllers, IVI, and powertrain systems. Its tools can work with software for automotive electronic control unit, while also taking into consideration auto sensor fusion, computer vision, and deep-learning technology.\nNXP, Infineon, and Renesas can supply the fail-safe ASIL D chips, while other chip vendors are playing catch-up in that area, according to Venkatramani.\nThe race is on to provide technology for this market. It’s likely that only a handful of companies will get the checkered flag, but it’s also not clear yet who those winners will be. What is certain is that there will be a lot of competitors vying for a piece of this market, and some interesting technology developments are likely to come out of these efforts that may be applicable to other market segments.\nAs automakers rev up autonomous driving, cost cutting needs to happen at an unprecedented pace and scale—even for new technologies.\nAfter years of playing catch-up to multinationals, the country is targeting an opening with assisted and autonomous vehicles.\nA new crop of device makers are developing chips based on high-resolution radar technology for assisted and autonomous driving in cars. |

As predicted President Talabani rejected a controversial elections law. This will likely delay provincial elections until next year. Today’s light violence was marked by a significant amount of arrests, particularly in Babel province. Overall, at least seven Iraqis were killed and five more were wounded. Also, $3 billion has been set aside to rebuild Baghdad.\nPresident Jalal Talabani rejected an elections law that was passed yesterday despite a boycott by Kurdish and other lawmakers. At heart is the power structure of multi-ethnic Kirkuk province. Talabani blamed a lack of consensus among parliament’s ethnic factions for the rejection. The law would have allowed provincial elections to move forward in October, but now those elections will be delayed indefinitely.\nIn Mosul, a roadside bomb wounded three policemen in a southeastern neighborhood. Mortars striking a police station wounded two civilians. Two Iraqi soldiers were shot dead at a checkpoint. Also, gunmen shot and killed a civilian near his home.\nIn Kirkuk, a sniper using a silencer killed the son of the editor-in-chief of a local weekly newspaper.\nIn Baghdad, two bodies were discovered. A large amount of explosives was discovered in a ministry building. Also, four al-Qaeda suspects were detained during a security operation in Khadraa, and 32 others were arrested across Baghdad.\nA roadside bomb killed a woman in Muqdadiyah. A joint U.S-Iraqi force arrested 24 al-Qaeda detainees.\nHilla is under curfew as security forces launch an operation in Babel province that has so far netted 50 suspects.\nSixty-five suspects were detained in northern Babel province around the Haswa district.\nNine suspects were arrested across Basra province. Police also confiscated weapons and ammunition and the boats they used to smuggle weapons in.\nThirteen detainees were freed in Diyala province after proving their innocence.\nIn Turkey, Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) rebels launched a rocket attack that left one Turkish soldier injured.

Academy Award® nominee Lenny Abrahamson (“Room”) directs a complex and chilling ghost story. Dr Faraday (Domhnall Gleeson of “Ex Machina”), the son of a housemaid, has built a life of quiet respectability as a country doctor. During the long hot summer of 1947, he is called to a patient at Hundreds Hall, where his mother once worked. The Hall has been home to the Ayres family for more than two centuries and is now in decline. But Mrs Ayres (Academy Award® nominee Charlotte Rampling) and her two grown children, Caroline (Golden Globe Award winner Ruth Wilson) and Roddy (Will Poulter of “The Revenant”), are haunted by something more ominous than a dying way of life. When he takes on his new patient, Faraday has no idea how closely, and how terrifyingly, the family’s story is about to become entwined with his own. |
We three have, after much discussion come to the conclusion that we have done as much here as we can. We have told our stories openly with as much candour as we can, leaving ourselves completely exposed in public, in the hope that others who have hesitated will come forward and speak as we have. There are some who have, many can be found on our links. Please try them and see what has happened to these other ones.\nThere is much more we could write, all of us have another 22 years during which we have grown, run, fallen, picked ourselves up and kept going. We have laughed and cried, worked and rested, worshipped and prayed. In short, we have lived our lives. But we have decided that those are other stories for other blogs.\nWe have only to complete what we want to say now.\nThe pain we have felt from these events has not healed or lessened over time. The common belief that 'time heals all wounds' is a fallacy. The wounds have become a part of us and we have learned to some extent how to live with them. We have learned to grow stronger and more courageous, we hope, in the process. Sometimes we are asked, do you think about this all the time? Of course not, but it is always with us. If you ask our gender, we don't have to stop and think, I'm a woman; it's just there. This is much the same and it is that much a part of each of us.\nNothing could ever justify what we, all of us Sikhs, went through. There can be no justification for evil and injustice nor should there be. Should twenty-two years be enough to start to distance ourselves from this? When young people say,'Get over it!' is there any validity to that? No, we will never get over this, nor should they ask us that of us. And we sincerely pray that they will never have a pain such as this to understand what we have been through.\nFor the two of us, Suni and Mai, the hardest part is facing the sheer hatred and maliciousness of people we had thought of as our brother-in-heritage Indians. (Vini never had this illusion.) Although we were both mothers in our thirties and thought of ourselves as worldly and sophisticated, in fact, we had been protected and sheltered from the sheer ugliness of our fellow humans. Although we read newspapers and saw television news accounts of such things the American civil rights movement, the various wars and the killing fields of Cambodia, these were things that happened to other people, people who weren't quite real to us. Now that has changed.\nWhen we see a mother holding the dead body of her child in Iraq or a woman's vacant eyes after seeing her family hacked to death in Rwanda, we see and feel no difference between us and them; they are us and we are them. The horrors and injustices of our age continue. If not for one thing, the sheer evil around us would overwhelm us and render us useless.\nBut we have that one thing. We are Sikhs. We have a way of being in this world that both gives to us and demands of us the strength not to give up hope and not to stop fighting against the wrongs we see and experience. Along with everyone else, we saw on 9/11, with horror, airplanes fly into buildings and the world go mad.\nWith great apprehension, we saw pictures of the leaders of those who did these things. You saw those pictures and, we're sure had the same sinking feeling we did. You know, the beards and the turbans. Our fears were not baseless, as it turned out. Some of us have been murdered. Many of us, especially our keshdhari men, have had to learn to live with a new prejudice: Americans who hate us for being what we aren't, Muslim. Some little good, however, is coming out of this. People are beginning to learn who we are and a bit of what we believe in.\nWe know we are not going to solve the problems of the world with our little blog. But please accept this as a small sewa from three women who would like to make the world a little better, and to help Sikh sisters and brothers, especially our Khalsa sisters and brothers, to stand a little taller and be a little more determined to live up to being the people our Gurus taught us to be.\nIf anyone wants to add anything to this blog, just leave a comment or email us, we will be overjoyed to contact you. Or if you have any further questions or comments for us, we love to hear from you. We all have our private blogs, which we choose to keep private, except Mai, who invites you to visit her at sometimes 2 http://mai-sometimes.blogspot.com, if you wish. |

Railways Express is a tile-laying train game where you’re trying to connect each of the four cities on the map that match your color.\n64 plastic locomotives (16 in each of the four player colors).\n231 track tiles—these include straight tracks, curved tracks, and complex crossing tracks.\n120 reroll cubes in each of the four player colors.\n4 wooden dice—2 track dice and 2 terrain dice.\n18 Service Bounty Cards for an optional way to play.\n24 Railroad Operations Cards for an optional way to play.\nEach player has four cities on the map in his or her color, and one of those cities is considered the Home City for that player. (Monterrey for Blue, Los Angeles for Yellow, Minneapolis for Red, and Montreal for Purple.) Each player places a train in their Home City, and then places two reroll cubes in their other three cities. Then each player places one reroll cube in each of the “neutral” gray cities on the map, and takes two of the remaining reroll cubes to start the game. Designate a start player.\n1. Roll the four dice and split them however you choose.\n2. Build track tiles on the map based on the roll.\nThe track dice have two sides with two straight tracks showing, two sides with two curved tracks, and two sides with one of each. And the terrain dice have two sides with grassland, one side with water, one side with mountains, and two sides with all three terrains, which acts as a wild.\nSo you roll all four dice, and the pair them up—one terrain die with one track die. Then you place up to four track tiles following the terrain and track you rolled. You can split the placement however you’d like. So if you roll a mountain and a grassland, you could place one mountain track, two grasslands, and then the other mountain track.\nYour first track played in the game must be from your Home City, and each subsequent placement has to either come off of a previously placed track tile or a city of your color that you’ve previously connected to.\nBecause of where you are on the board, and the terrain and track you roll, it’s possible you won’t be able to place any track down at all—or will only be able to place fewer than four tracks. That’s here the reroll cubes come in. You can turn in any reroll cube you’ve collected to reroll one or two of the four dice. You care free to use more than one reroll cube on a turn if necessary.\nYou can choose the order of cities you visit once you leave your Home City. Once you do connect to one of your Home Cities, you get to collect the two reroll cubes on it. No player can ever connect to a colored city of another player. You are free to connect into and out of any of the gray cities on the board, and if you do, you get your reroll cube on that city. Because the spaces are hexagons, up to three players can connect to each of those gray cities, but the fourth player is just out of luck.\nBut the point of the game isn’t to connect to the most cities—it’s to connect your four cities. So don’t get distracted. Once someone does connect those four cities, each player who hasn’t had an equal number of turns gets one final turn. Ties are broken by reroll cubes.\nThe game comes with two decks that give you more options for play.\nThe Service Bounty Deck consists of 18 cards that are identical, other than the city named on the card—there’s a card for each of the gray cities on the board. You shuffle the deck at the beginning of the game and deal four face-up. If someone connects to one of those cities while the card is visible, he or she gets an extra reroll cube, and you discard that Bounty and draw a new one so there are always four visible bounties.\nThe Railroad Operations Deck are various cards with various powers, that include being able to play on any terrain without having to roll a terrain die, a free track tile placement on a certain terrain, and cards that you play on others that keep that player from playing on a certain terrain type. You get to draw a card when you connect to a gray city (not one of your own).\nJeremiah—So let’s talk about the components. Everything was well-made—the cards, the board, etc. There were some choices that I wouldn’t necessarily have made (wooden dice, plastic trains seemed backwards to me), but nothing that ruins the game. The only quirky part about the components were areas of the board that were or were not considered to be water hexes. The rules say that only the bright blue hexes are water not the pale blue, and sometimes it was really hard to define what those were. Oh, and did we mention, the board is HUGE!?\nFirestone—Yeah, unless it’s something like Twilight Imperium, I almost always prefer wooden pieces to plastic, but they’re mostly good. (The wooden dice are just okay.) I agree that those ambiguous water spaces are the board are annoying, though it’s easy enough to make a house-rule decision. Publishers: If a space isn’t a water space, don’t put water in it! No one will be angry if you err on the side of clarity!\nFirestone—I was pleasantly surprised to see that the game was for ages 7 and up. And it proved to be true! We even played with my 5-year-old, and with a little help, he was doing well. We’d talk about how to split his dice, and then he would put them down where he wanted to go. The age requirements might be my favorite thing about this game.\nJeremiah—Yeah, I was really glad that even on the box it says the game is for ages 7 and up. Most games I play with my kids (5 & 7) have an age rating of 8, 10, 12, 13 etc. and up. Railways Express is a great, introductory tile placement game, and is really for just about any age of gamer!\nJeremiah—I really enjoyed that this was SO easy to learn, but it didn’t feel like an easy game to play. Which is to say that I felt like there were some weighty decision to make, concerning how to spend your re-roll cubes, which path to take and so on, but the mechanics were pretty light weight and uncumbersome.\nFirestone—I felt it was kind of decision-light, but that just means it’s a good family game and not a good gamers’ game. I like family games, so it’s not really a dig.\nJeremiah—While there are some decent decision making moments, the game is really driven by the dice. For “certain people” *cough cough* Scott *cough* that can be a major downside. But dice-rollers have a certain appeal for the casual player, and this Railways Express is no exception to that. This will be one that I pull out for casual players, or family game nights for sure. Making the right decisions can definitely give you a great advantage, but there aren’t so many decisions to be made that a casual, or younger player will be gripped with analysis paralysis.\nFirestone—Since when do I not like dice?! Oh yeah…since always. 🙂 Look, if you roll better in this game, you will do better than those who don’t. Period. Again, in a family game that’s fine.\nFirestone Final Thoughts—I’ve not played any of the Railways of the World games, but as an “express” version of anything, this does what it’s supposed to. It strips down play, and is a great introduction to the concept of building tracks on the map. As far as I’m concerned, this was the very, very first step in introducing my 5-year-old to Age Of Steam. If you’re playing with gamers, keep it on the shelf, but when it’s with family or nongamers, put Railways Express on the table.\nJeremiah Final Thoughts—Railways Express is exactly what Eagle Games says it is. It’s an express, or streamlined version of their hit title Railways of the World. It plays fast—an hour max, and probably faster with experienced players—which could definitely earn it a spot as a solid filler game, although that would seem weird because it’s so HUGE. If you’re looking for a quick-playing game, especially with casual players or a game for your family game night, you should definitely put this game on the table!\nThanks for reading!

Warren’s childhood seemed happy enough. He lived on a large estate, and he sought adventure. Much like Hank, Warren drove his parents nuts with dangerous stunts. He was a fearless boy, climbing in trees, on roofs, and wherever else he could. Heights never bothered him. He also didn’t have wings, so he had no reason to feel like an outcast. These were happy times.\nHis situation changed once he hit puberty. Like so many mutants, his powers began to manifest as he grew. In school he excelled at sports, and yet he faced ridicule for looking different. Already kids were noticing that his shoulder blades were mutating. Warren began to worry when he found a feather in his bed, unsure of where it came from.\nSoon there was no denying what was happening to him. He was growing wings! Horrified, Warren hid them from his school, thankful that they were small. Just looking at this panel it’s clear why teenagers found it easy to relate with him. Who hasn’t looked into the mirror at that age and been horrified with how their body was changing? This is a rite of passage for teens, it’s just most of us don’t grow wings. Still, I can imagine that same panel happening where Warren is horrified of a pimple or his physique. Marvel is tapping into the basic fears that all teenagers face.\nBut before long they would grow to full wingspan, and Warren would spiral into a depression. How could anyone ever accept him? Surely he would be lonely and miserable his entire life. Who would want a relationship with some kind of freakish bird man?\nIt is only when his dormitory catches fire that he attempts flight for the first time. Luckily, he doesn’t kill himself. Warren does way better than Banshee did in X-Men: First Class.\nHe flies over to the drama department and grabs an angel disguise. His hope is that he can save his peers without being recognized. It works, and all the authorities know is that bunch of kids claim to have been saved by an angel. Praise the lord.\nFast forward to a bit later in life, and Warren has put his talents to good use. He’s decided to start fighting crime, calling himself the Avenging Angel. He even built himself a gas pellet gun and a snazzy outfit. It’s not his best, but it’s a hell of a lot better than what he’s been wearing with the X-Men recently, that outfit with the suspenders.\nHe gasses the crooks and leaves them for the police. He also leaves a phosphorescent emblem behind, his calling card. It’s a glowing halo, signifying that the Avenging Angel has done his duty. This whole scene reminds me of Golden Age Batman.\nMeanwhile, the X-Men have located Angel with the use of their special super computer Cerebro… I mean the television. They watch him on television, just how they find all their mutants. However, the Professor does find him with Cerebro also, solidifying their theory that this winged man is actually a mutant. So it was good for something. Now it’s off to catch a bird.\nScott and Bobby simply wait for Warren at his apartment, after tracking his movements with Cerebro I’m sure. They ask him to join their team. Of course a big fight breaks out, with Warren saying he’s such a loner and blah blah blah. We’re heard it all before. Bobby must now be realizing how dumb he sounded.\nThe Professor has to intervene, calming Warren down with telepathic messages. Warren listens, and understand that they are all in grave danger. Warren has an item that some thugs were trying to steal, something that he means to return to its rightful owner. And big surprise, that thing is a power device and it’s now about to explode with the power of a nuclear bomb. The only thing that will disarm it is a drastic drop in temperature, which if you ask me is a strange way to stop a nuclear bomb. Unfortunately, Bobby has been knocked out in the fight, so Warren has to save the day.\nHe flies straight up, high into the outer reaches of our atmosphere. He disarms the bomb, but not before freezing himself. Unable to flap his wings, he drops to Earth. At the last moment he regains movement and is able to save himself. The whole scene is a lot like what we would later see in Iron Man, when Tony first tests the limits of his suit.\nAnd when it’s all over the Professor invites Warren to join the X-Men. Warren accepts, but Scott doesn’t look too thrilled. He already feels threatened by Warren’s mask of confidence and bravado. This is also the last we’ll see of that costume.\nWarren Worthington is, as I said, a tortured soul. He was born with everything a person could ever want. His family is extremely wealthy, and he has access to all the finest things in life. His wealth, charm, education, good looks, and demographics place him at a significant advantage in our modern world. And yet happiness eludes him. He is forced to carry this heavy burden, a mutation, a deformity, a pair of feathered wings. It destroys his self image, creating anxiety and depression. He can never be happy. He grew up in the lap of luxury, but can never relax. He has been given every opportunity, but belongs nowhere. Society tells him that he has everything he needs to be happy, but the problem is within himself. Warren masks this with an outward display of ego and cockiness, causing many around him to think he is stuck up. Later in life his hatred of his body will cause him to lose everything, a tragedy that I can’t wait to read. His story has always resonated with me.\nPosted on September 4, 2014, in Angel, Ed Posts and tagged Angel, Avenging Angel, cerebro, comic books, comics, marvel, mutant, origin, professor x, Warren Worthington, Warren Worthington III, x-men.

Ginger was a miracle baby. She was badly twisted in the uterus and our Vet managed to fish her out alive. She was very weak at birth and unable to stand or nurse. The photo below is taken at one day old. She required lots of tender loving care for the first three days of her life. She is lucky to be alive..........thus her name is Lucky Lil Ginger.\nGinger is very correct, with awesome straight legs. She is a bay pinto in her natural coat, much darker when cliipped; the summer also brings out a hint of buckskin in her pedigree.\nGinger was a participant in our 4-H club prior to becoming a broodmare. She has produced show quality foals. She is currently bred to Strongs Prince Reno for a 2014 foal.\nWe will offer for Ginger for sale with only as a breeding pair with Strongs Golden Chianti JR . New photos coming soon.\nGinger is a participant in our Haldimand County Miniature Horse 4H Club. |
Washington State is the leading producer of apples, pears, and cherries in the U.S. (reference), and North Central Washington is an ideal place to grow fruit, with sunny dry summers, cold winters, and an abundance of river water for irrigation. You will find information on this page regarding tree fruit orchard establishment, including site selection, planting, and cost estimates of establishing apple, pear, cherry and stone fruit orchards. Information on weed control, pest and disease control, rootstocks, support systems, irrigation, and economics will be found in the other sections of this site.\nEstablishing a new orchard requires significant research and planning, in order to grow healthy trees with exceptional fruit quality. Orchard site selection and preparation are the first management decisions that affect the productivity of a tree fruit orchard. Whether considering a new site, replanting a former tree fruit site, or updating to current varieties or production systems, there are many important decisions to make.\nLocation considerations Regional climate conditions should be reviewed when establishing a fruit tree block. Determine current weather data and historic environmental data by visiting the nearest AgWeatherNet weather station to your location. If available, historic temperature extremes, frost risk, average bloom date, consistency of cropping for neighboring farms, etc. may be instructive. Ideal sites are on gently sloping land with good air drainage, so that cold air can move down slope and not accumulate in a low spot or “frost pocket” causing problems especially during bloom. South facing slopes warm up faster in the spring than north facing slopes. Planting early blooming cultivars at south facing locations would increase their risk for spring frosts. Orchard sites surrounded by unmanaged range land will usually have more pressure from deer and other vertebrate pests. Blocks that are close to residential areas may necessitate buffer rows to reduce the potential for off-target pesticide drift.\nSoil considerations Loam or sandy loam soil types have good characteristics for orchards. Soils that are permeable, with a texture allowing water to drain properly, and that have enough water holding capacity so that trees won’t dry out between irrigation sets are ideal. Trees will grow best in soil with a pH around 6.0 to 7.0, slightly acidic. As noted previously for new sites, soil tests can confirm texture, pH, organic matter content, nutrient availability, presence of nematodes, etc. Whether a replant or new site, this information can help determine what amendments should be made and whether preplant fumigation is necessary. See information on soil testing labs in the Tools and Resources section of this site. Find more information on our Soils and Nutrition page. Information on orchard soil fumigation can be found on the Chelan/Douglas Co Extension website and in the Crop Protection Guide.\nNew sites You should examine soil survey maps to determine general soil types in your area. Preplant soil tests are helpful to determine soil texture, pH, organic matter content, nutrient levels, and the presence of damaging nematodes if those are a concern. Soil test results can establish a starting point for soil amendments you may need to supply before planting. For established orchards, foliar testing is useful to determine nutrient levels in the plant. See the Tools and Resources section of this site for information on laboratories that provide soil and leaf sample analysis. It is also important to know what crops were grown on the land before, or what the land was used for, to determine future pest, disease and other risks. Extension personnel can provide information on local fruit tree disease and pest concerns. Since fruit trees are sensitive to herbicide residues in the soil, it is important to know the previous crop history. It is also important to consider the site characteristics (air and water drainage, water access/availability, elevation, etc.) that might make it more suited for one fruit type, cultivar or market than another.\nDisk and remove cover crop.\nPerform deep bidirectional ripping to 36”.\nSoil amendments can be applied for organic sites, or fumigation for conventional production sites.\nMany organic growers use fumigation at the start, and then transition to organic after the first growing season. This practice is allowed under organic rules.\nUse replant disease tolerant root stock, which can provide substantial mitigation of replant disorder.\nFumigation in a replant site should ideally be done in the fall, as it does not work well when soil temperatures are below 42℉. Recent research has also shown success using mustard seed meal treatments as an alternative to fumigation. (reference).\nTransitional site considerations If you plan to try a different production system, or new varieties, consider establishing a test block for a few years to see if you are happy with the results before establishing a large planting. See Test Blocks-Great for new cultivars or systems, D. Layne, American/Western Fruit Grower, 2013.\nFinancial planning Decide on the feasibility of what you are considering and develop a business plan. Labor costs are high for training and pruning in new orchards. Determine market fruit prices, yields, and costs to grow the variety that you are interested in. Cost and returns are variable depending on the type of fruit, the size of orchard, orchard management practices, and market prices. See information on the cost estimates of establishing Apple, Pear, and Cherry orchards as well as other market information on the WSU Tree Fruit Economics page or visit their links page for presentations on the establishment of benchmarks for tree fruit production costs. You can also visit the WSU and Oregon State University enterprise budget pages for more information. Here is an additional resource for anyone thinking about transitioning into organic production: Organic Transition – A business planner for farmers, ranchers and food entrepreneurs, G. DiGiacoma, R.P. King and D. Nordquist. SARE Handbook. 2015 (Accessed: 1/19/17).\nPre-plant care When trees arrive from the nursery, keep them cool and the roots moist. Do not store them with any fruit, as they are ethylene sensitive (will start to grow too early). Trees should be planted as early in the spring as possible, as soon as you can after delivery. Place the new trees under sprinklers for 24 hours prior to planting. Trees can be stored for a week to 10 days under sprinklers if needed; desiccation is the primary cause of early die-off.\nWhen trees are planted, the soil around the new tree should be a few inches higher than the surrounding soil to accommodate settling in. The graft union should be at least 4-6 inches above the soil mound. It is important that the union not touch the soil because this could lead to scion rooting where the rootstock influence on scion vigor can be adversely impacted. Be sure that trees receive sufficient water (without excess) as soon as possible after planting.\nPlanting apple trees. Jon Clements, UMass and Michael Parker, NCSU. eXtension. 10 Aug, 2011.\nPrevent transplant shock. Good Fruit Grower. 15 April, 2012.\nPlanting frenzy. Shannon Dininny and TJ Mulinex, Good Fruit Grower. 19 April, 2016.\nThe harvest window is another aspect to consider when deciding on fruit varieties. Harvest is the single most demanding labor activity in orchards, so planting varieties that allow a broader harvest window, allows fewer laborers to pick over a longer period of time. Take into account other tree crops already in production. Consider the pests and diseases that may occur in your area, and try to locate disease resistant rootstocks if they are available.\nPears are very slow to come into production, with many Washington pear trees in production being 50-100 years old. New high-density pear plantings are being established, fire-blight resistant varieties are being introduced, and research is underway to find new dwarfing rootstocks for pears.\nSee the Varieties and Breeding section of this site for varieties that are commonly grown in Washington and the Pacific Northwest. Consult with extension specialists, other growers in your area, and nurserymen to determine which cultivars are most likely to perform well in your location. As noted above, for cultivars that have not been widely grown or tested in your area, establishing a test block would be a good idea.\nSelecting rootstocks If you are establishing a new orchard on a replant site, utilizing a rootstock that is resistant (or tolerant) to replant disease is ideal. Purchase certified virus-free trees from reputable commercial nurseries. Where possible, choose trees that are resistant (or tolerant) to relevant pests and diseases and have sufficient cold hardiness for your region. Determine the correct rootstock for your soil type and site, the production system you plan to use, the tree vigor and precocity needed, and the potential to yield large volumes of high quality fruit. Because nursery demand for fruit trees is high and strong in the Pacific Northwest, plan well in advance to ensure that your nursery tree order will be processed and trees will be ready for the time of planting. Visit the Clean Plant Center Northwest webpage for information about testing or acquiring clean materials. Also see Which apple rootstock should you grow with? S. Dininny, Good Fruit Grower, Feb. 2016 and Avoiding rootstock mistakes, T. Auvil, Good Fruit Grower, Feb. 2016.\nNursery trees: Raised for 1-2 years in a nursery before being planted in the orchard.\nRootstocks: Planted and budded in place with scion in late summer of 1st growing season.\nSleeping eyes: Rootstocks grown in nurseries for 1 year, then budded in the fall, dug in the winter, and planted in the orchard in following spring. (small root system).\nWhich apple rootstock should you grow with? S. Dininny. Good Fruit Grower, 2016.\nSteps to establishing a money-making orchard. G. Warner, Good Fruit Grower, 2007.\nPollinizers Some sweet cherry and apple varieties require planting compatible pollinizers. Choose disease resistant pollinizers for trees if possible. Crabapples are commonly used as pollinizers for certain apple varieties. However, ‘Manchurian’ crabapples are a source of postharvest fungal inoculum in apple orchards. A fact sheet on Pruning ‘Manchurian’ crabapples can be found here and the guidelines for control of the fungus can be found here. More information on pollination can be found on our Pollination page.\nProduction systems The first step is to decide whether the new orchard will be managed with conventional or organic practices and note the differences that are required for organic certification. See the Organic Production page on this website for more information.\nPlanting design Depending on the management system you choose, the spacing between rows and between trees in the row can differ considerably. Tree rows are commonly oriented in the North-South compass direction to maximize sunlight absorption. Many current high-density plantings to high-value varieties have really increased the profit potential per unit land area. However, with increased planting densities, increased tree costs, and often the need for establishing trellises, the infrastructure cost to establish a new orchard can be substantial (e.g., $30,000/acre or more). Management practices that can enable first harvest at younger tree ages (e.g., third or even second leaf) are becoming more common. The irrigation system, tree support system, alleyway grass or cover crop, and understory weed strip areas are all design considerations. The canopy must allow light to penetrate the trees for adequate growth and fruit quality. Space and maneuverability logistics for workers, mechanical pruners/hedgers and thinners, mobile platforms, tractors, trailers, bins, trellises, overhead nets, wind machines, etc. should all be considered.\nIrrigation systems Irrigation should be set up when it is time to plant so the trees will get water right away. It is important to keep new trees that have arrived from the nursery with moist roots, but not too wet. If the roots dry out, they will die. Water trees when first planted so that trees will settle in and there won’t be large air pockets around roots. Don’t overwater after planting, as the roots can rot. If trees sink too low, pull them up right away. Water again as soon as trees show signs of growth. Drip irrigation is a good choice, as it delivers consistent water supply to new trees. Consider the water availability at the site. Find out the legal water rights, water quality, pH, sodium absorption ratio, and electrical conductivity. Determine how much water you will need to grow the type of fruit on the production system that you want. Drip irrigation delivers consistent water to new plantings. See the WSU irrigation scheduler mobile app manual here. More information on irrigation can be found on our Irrigation Management page.\nIncorporating new technology A new orchard provides the opportunity to integrate new technological tools into your site. Consider the technology that you would like to use when designing your next orchard. This can include environmental sensors, mechanical harvesters, mobile platforms, mechanical thinners, netting for sunburn, hail, and bird protection, weather stations for mobile sensing, insect traps that monitor catch numbers, etc. See the WSU Center for Precision and Automated Agricultural Systems Fundamental Research page for the latest information on experimental research in this area. Also see: Implementing Robotic Harvest Technology.\nTraining systems Scientists at WSU are conducting trials on rootstocks and different training systems to find the best systems for varieties in our area. You can find information on training systems on the Pruning and Training Systems section of this site. Types of training systems used for specific tree crops are listed below along with reference links for more information.\nCherry Training Systems, L. Long, G. Lang, S. Musacchi and M.

Herrick, Growing Produce, February, 2015.\nDisease and pest management If the site is a replant site, you are aware of the pest and disease threats that must be managed. New plantings must be monitored closely for any signs of insect or mite pests or diseases caused by fungi, bacteria and viruses. Young tree trunks should be protected from chemical sprays, herbicides, machinery, and even animal feeding. See the Crop Protection section of this site for more information on Insects and Mites, Disease and other management practices or visit the online Crop Protection Guide.\nWeed management Weeds are a concern with new plantings, as they compete for water and nutrients with the young trees. Organic growers may have more of a challenge with weed control than conventional growers. Conventional growers need to protect young trunks from herbicide damage with tubes, milk cartons or by painting the trunks. See the Weed Management section of this site for information on weed management.\nVertebrate management Vertebrate pest control can be a challenge in a new orchard. New trees need tree guards around trunks to protect from rodents. If deer are in the area, deer fences are the best method for excluding deer and preventing deer damage. More information on vertebrate pest management can be found in that section of this site.\nEnvironmental stress Injury from the elements to new trees is a concern in new orchards. Sun damage can occur to the trees and fruit due to little or no shade during the first couple of years. There may not be a lot of protection against wind, and trees can dry out quickly. Young trees are sensitive to water stress. Rain near harvest time is always a concern for cherries because it can cause fruit cracking making the fruit unmarketable.\nAdvances in Brassicaceae seed meal formulation and application protocol for control of apple replant disease, M.

Immunotherapy pioneers James P. Allison, PhD, and Tasuku Honjo, MD, PhD, have won the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their research that eventually led to the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors to treat cancer. The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet announced the award in a statement Monday.\nAllison, chair of Immunology and executive director of the Immunotherapy Platform at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, is best known for his work in T-cell response mechanisms and his discovery that blocking the signaling of the immune checkpoint protein CTLA-4 improved antitumor immune responses. His research led to the development of ipilimumab (Yervoy), the first FDA-approved immune checkpoint inhibitor. The agency approved ipilimumab the treatment of advanced melanoma in 2011.\nHonjo, a professor in the Department of Immunology and Genomic Medicine at Japan’s Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, discovered PD-1 on the surface of immune cells in 1992 and later demonstrated that the protein inhibited immune response. His research eventually led to the development of pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and nivolumab (Opdivo), both of which were approved for the treatment of advanced melanoma in 2014.\nClinical trials have shown that PD-1 blockade has resulted in positive outcomes for patients with lung cancer, renal cancer, and lymphoma.\nThe FDA approved pembrolizumab in this setting in 2015 based on results from this trial.\nIn the study that led to the approval of ipilimumab for patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma following at least 1 prior systemic treatment, OS was longer with ipilimumab alone compared with the experimental tumor vaccine gp100 (HR, 0.66; P = .0026).2 Patients treated with ipilimumab alone had a median OS of 10 months compared with 6 months for those treated with gp100.\nFollow-up studies have since shown that 20% of patients survive at least 3 years posttreatment, with many living for 10 years and beyond. Subsequent research has led to agents targeting additional immune checkpoints, often PD-1 and PD-L1, to treat a range of cancers including head and neck, gastric kidney, bladder, gastric, liver, colorectal, and cervical cancers, and Hodgkin lymphoma.\nAllison said that 1 patient with metastatic melanoma from the phase I trial is still alive almost 19 years later following a single dose of ipilimumab. He said that clinicians and investigators have come to accept immunotherapy as the fourth pillar of cancer care along with radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy.\nSchachter J, Ribas A, Long GV, et al.

Wilcox, Michael. "Brothers of the Christian Schools". The Canadian Encyclopedia, 13 February 2019, Historica Canada. https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/brothers-of-the-christian-schools. Accessed 24 April 2019.\nThe Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools is a Catholic religious order founded by Jean-Baptiste de La Salle in France in 1680. In Canada, members are generally referred to as Christian Brothers or De La Salle Brothers. They are not to be confused with the Congregation of Christian Brothers who were founded by Edmund Rice in Ireland in 1802 and whose members in Canada were also called Christian Brothers or Irish Christian Brothers. The Brothers of the Christian Schools were a major force in Catholic education in Canada, especially in Quebec. They first arrived in Montreal in 1837, then experienced numeric growth, geographic expansion and a solid reputation over the next 125 years. The Brothers underwent a significant exodus and decline in vocations with the dramatic religious and social changes spawned by the Second Vatican Council and the Quiet Revolution.\nThe Christian Brothers were founded in France by Jean-Baptiste de La Salle in 1680. Born in Reims in 1651, La Salle was from a privileged family, allowing him the opportunity to receive a classical education. In 1670, as a young aspirant to the priesthood, he enrolled in Paris’s famed Saint-Sulpice Seminary while simultaneously taking courses in academic theology at the Sorbonne. Later, at the University of Reims, he achieved a Bachelor of Theology in 1675, a Licentiate in Theology in 1678 and a Doctorate of Theology in 1680.\nFollowing his ordination in 1678, La Salle began to address the hardship and insecurity pervasive in French society by opening free schools for the poor. He is now widely credited as a pedagogical pioneer because of his role in modernizing teaching techniques: in lieu of private tutoring, he introduced the “simultaneous method” whereby students of similar age and competency were taught collectively; he stressed the vernacular — rather than the more traditional Latin — as the language of instruction; and he founded technical schools to prepare boys for various trades. In 1680, he established a community of consecrated laymen he called the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. In Reims in 1687, he opened the first training centre for teachers in Europe. He died 7 April 1719, at the age of 68. Given his contributions to education, he was beatified in 1888, canonized in 1900 and named Patron Saint of Teachers in 1950.\nUnlike their founder, Christian Brothers were not priests. La Salle argued that his congregation had a different, yet complementary, function: they would labour for the salvation of souls through Christian education; in helping to instill Catholic doctrine in the hearts and minds of youth, the Brothers would be valuable auxiliary servants to the clergy.\nAll Christian Religious Communities in the Catholic Church — male and female — take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. The Christian Brothers also added a vow of stability, promising to remain steadfast in their commitment to the congregation, and a vow to teach the poor gratuitously. To distinguish themselves from priests and lay people, Brothers adopted new names at the end of their novitiate and wore long black robes accentuated by the addition of a white rabat — a piece of cloth that rested on the upper chest below the Roman collar. They also lived in shared residences called communities, usually adjacent to or near the associated school(s) in which they taught, with the number of community members varying according to the size of the school(s). Communities were overseen by directors, who were themselves part of the hierarchy of the order, which included visitors, assistants and the superior general.\nThroughout the 18th century, the institute quickly expanded its membership, communities and schools, first across France and then elsewhere in Europe. In 1717, prominent Montreal-based fur trade merchant Francois Charon requested that the Christian Brothers come to New France. He thought that they might assist the Frères Hospitaliers de la Croix et de Saint-Joseph (Charon Brothers), a charitable organization he founded in 1699, by opening schools. However, this proposal never materialized, perhaps because of the great distance between France and its colonial outpost and the cost of sending and maintaining Brothers. In 1737, the Charon Brothers again requested to have the Christian Brothers come to Montreal. Two Brothers were sent there to study the feasibility of such a venture, but while negotiations seemed promising, this proposal also failed to come to fruition.\nIt would be another 100 years before the Christian Brothers finally established a permanent presence in Lower Canada. In 1837, at the behest of Bishop Jean-Jacques Lartigue and M. Joseph-Vincent Quiblier, superior of the Sulpicians in Montreal, four Brothers were sent to the city amidst the context of the Rebellion in Lower Canada. These men quickly founded the Saint-Laurent community and established their first school, École Saint-Laurent. While more Brothers arrived from France in the 1830s and 1840s, the order also sought to secure a Canadian-born cohort of members by starting a novitiate in 1838. This development facilitated school and community establishments (of varying degrees of longevity) in French Canada for decades. From the outset, Quebec was the heart of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools in North America. They had the most members, the most schools and a close affiliation with the Church hierarchy, allowing them to wield significant influence in the province until the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s.\nOutside Canada East and later Québec, short-lived communities and schools were established in the 19th century in Saint-Boniface, Manitoba, and in the Maritimes. In Canada West and later Ontario, a more permanent foothold emerged, particularly in urban centres such as Toronto and Ottawa. Around the turn of the 20th century, divisions between French and English-speaking Brothers in Canada were evident, particularly over the question of teaching qualifications. Nevertheless, new recruits were always joining, and new schools were regularly opened. By their centenary in 1937, there were 920 Brothers in Canada teaching nearly 35,000 pupils in 79 schools; another 220 Brothers took on administrative or training positions while 485 boys and young men were in one of the three stages of formation (juniorate, novitiate and scholasticate). By the early 1960s, there were about 1,300 Brothers in Quebec and Ontario.\nBetween their arrival and the 1960s, their program of studies changed from one that emphasized Catholic catechism and rudimentary academics to one that provided an extensive program of industrial and commercial subjects, humanities and sciences, university training and preparation for the religious life. Besides elementary schools, the Brothers established and taught in secondary schools, reformatories, industrial schools and universities. They also ran their own houses of formation, summer camps and overseas missionary schools. They founded or ran many famous institutions, including the Commercial Academy (1862) and l’École supérieure de commerce (1924) in Quebec City, with the latter becoming the Faculty of Commerce at Université Laval; Collège Mont-Saint-Louis (1888) in Montreal; St. John’s Industrial School (1895) and De La Salle College Oaklands (1931) in Toronto; and St. Joseph’s College at the University of Alberta in Edmonton (1927).\nMembers sometimes acted as school inspectors and held leadership positions in various academic and Catholic organizations. At the end of the academic year, Brothers often spent their summer months taking extra courses, obtaining university degrees, improving their teachers’ qualifications, learning languages or running summer school sessions. One of their most famous members was Frère Marie-Victorin, botanist, professor, proponent of French-Canadian nationalism and founder of the Montreal Botanical Gardens. Members also wrote textbooks on virtually every subject and the order secured a strong reputation for their teaching methods. However, they were also known to be stern disciplinarians, sometimes venturing into violent misconduct. Since the early 1990s, members from Ontario and Quebec have come under scrutiny, particularly for the physical and sexual abuse of boys at their Ontario-based reformatories.\nThough the congregation was founded to exercise an educational ministry, they reserved a place for members who were not teachers. This small minority of non-teaching Brothers were officially categorized as Serving Brothers and primarily performed domestic tasks. In Canada, their roles were primarily as cooks, gardeners, handymen or dorm supervisors. While not usually possessing the educational training to be able to teach, they nevertheless lived with the Teaching Brothers and fulfilled all the duties of the religious life, including prayers, retreats and common exercises.\nIn the wake of the Second Vatican Council (1962–65), members of religious orders such as the Christian Brothers were asked to analyze their congregations’ goals, structures and customs. Henceforth, there was much greater freedom for individual members to choose their clothing, their names and their living arrangements, and there was a growing sense of freedom to question the hierarchy. The order underwent a rapid exodus of members and experienced a dearth in vocations. This development, alongside a growing secularization of Quebec’s education system, precipitated a dramatic decline in Brothers teaching in Canadian classrooms from which they have not recovered.\nWith numbers continuing to decline and educational activities restricted across North America, the hierarchy in Rome has done some organizational restructuring. In 2009, Ontario’s English-speaking Brothers were merged with their linguistic confreres in the eastern United States, forming the District of Eastern North America. Le District du Canada francophone includes all Brothers in Quebec as well as those from the city of Ottawa. This French-language district continues to be home to most Brothers in Canada. While the majority are retired, some continue to be engaged in social and pastoral work leading spirituality seminars, performing tutoring and conducting workshops in such areas as citizenship, leadership and anti-bullying education.\nThe Christian Brothers in Canada contributed greatly to a flourishing Catholic school system in Quebec and helped solidify Ontario’s separate school system. They were tied together by common religious affiliation, gender, vows, employment and residency. Their community life differed from most Canadian residents — Catholic and non-Catholic alike — in the 19th and 20th centuries. Joining this congregation was a unique option for Catholic men, providing an alternative to marriage and fatherhood, the priesthood or the single life.\nSee also History of Education in Canada.\nFrères des écoles chrétiennes, L’Œuvre d’un siècle: les Frères des écoles chrétiennes au Canada, centenaire F.E.C., 1837–1937(1937).\nNive Voisine, Les Frères des écoles chrétiennes au Canada, Tomes I–III (1987–1999).\nGuy Laperrière, Les congrégations religieuses de la France au Québec 1880–1914, 3 Vol. (1996, 1999 and 2005).\nAndrée Dufour, Histoire de l’éducation au Québec (1997).\nMicheline D’Allaire, Les communautés religieuses de Montréal.

Also known as Meeteileipak and Kangleipak, Manipur is a state in Northeast India. There are many tribes living in the state such as Kukei, Mitei, Pangal, Naga, as well as Bishnupriya Manipuri. Forming a part of Northeast India, the state of Manipur can be depicted as a junction of ethnic and financial interchanges. The capital of the state is Imphal. The state has joined the subcontinent of India with Southeast Asia for an extensive period, facilitating relocation of masses, traditions and faiths. The state has borne testimony to a number of battles, including the conflict at the time of the 2nd World War.\nThe state of Manipur is situated at 23°83’ North – 25°68’ North latitude and 93°03’ East – 94°78’ East longitude. It shares its borders with Mizoram in the south, Nagaland in the north, Burma (Myanmar) in the east and Assam in the west.\nArea: 22,327 km2 (8,621 sq miles).\nElevation: The tallest point in Manipur is the Mount Iso Peak with an altitude of 2,994 meters.\nClimate: The weather of Manipur is mostly regulated by the contour of this mountainous area which defines the geographical features of this small state. Situated at an altitude of 790 meters over sea surface, Manipur is surrounded by hills all around. The northeastern area of India normally experiences a pleasant weather. However, the winter months may be somewhat cold. The highest temperature in the summer months is 32°C. During the winter months, the mercury frequently drops under 0°C, resulting in snowfalls. Snowfall on certain occasions takes place in particular mountainous areas as a result of the Western Disturbance. January is the chilliest month, and the hottest is July. The mean yearly rainfall in Manipur is 1467.5 mm.\nLanguages spoken: Meeteilon (Manipuri) and English. |

The Paradise Datacom Indoor High Power Rack Mount Ku-Band SSPAs represent the industry's highest power density and most reliable high power amplifier systems. These high power amplifiers are accompanied with a separate power supply chassis.\nThe power supply is configured as an N+1 redundant, hot swappable, power supply comprised of three modules. Only two modules are required to operate the HPA, therefore one module is redundant. In the event of a power supply module failure, the amplifier system will not fail. The module can then be changed without ever taking the HPA out of service. The microwave amplifier architecture is also designed for maximum soft fail redundancy.\nThe High Power Rack Mount SSPA employs a modular design, which allows quick and easy replacement in the event of a catastrophic failure of one of the SSPA components. These modular assemblies include: front and rear fan trays; and a rear panel controller card.\nThe 6RU Chassis may be fitted with a variety of power supply options. The dual 1RU power supply configuration provides redundancy with all power levels; or may be used as a non -redundant supply by utilizing fewer power supply modules. The stand-alone 1RU power supply can be used to power the 750W C-Band or 400W Ku-Band chassis. The standard 3RU, three-module power supply offers redundancy for all power levels. |
Corbin front saddle works with a rear seat cowling or with the Corbin rear seat. Due to the limited space and lack of sufficient structure, we were unable to incorporate the Corbin backrest system into this seat model. Besides, on bike models like the Gixxer, a backrest is of limited use because of the aggressive seating posture.\nCorbin saddles come standard with genuine leather seating inserts for a true touch of luxury. We recommend our Carbon Fiber laminated leather seating with Asphalt vinyl sides.. Leather will provide a seating surface that breathes with your body and will adapt with the foam during break in for a perfectly personalized fit.\nFront and rear saddles install just like stock with mounting brackets included and premounted on the Corbin saddle. |
Cybersquatting is rampant and the number of domain name dispute cases filed increases significantly every year. We will help you pick the most important battles and the most cost-effective way to conduct them, including via the UDRP, Nominet DRS, the various ccTLD procedures and less-conventional dispute procedures like the URS where applicable.\nEven the most secure IT system can be infiltrated by something as simple as a spoofed e-mail address. An unauthorised domain name can be used to impersonate staff, associates or third-party suppliers and obtain valuable know-how and account information, as well as to redirect funds and payments to the scammer.\nWe can help you develop policies to identify phishing scams at early stages, and also can act quickly to disable domain names and online accounts used for these scams. In the past, we have been able to cancel domain names being used to impersonate a UK PLC’s chief financial officer only 35 minutes after instruction.\nAll major social media platforms have an internally-regulated procedure for removing infringing content, and there is an overarching legal framework within the EU that allows for a plan B in the event that the platform’s moderators do not comply with valid demands. We have experience dealing with most major platforms in the UK and overseas, as well as using EU law to leverage compliance when necessary. The same framework also enables us to remove infringing content from websites without necessarily engaging with the website owner. These strategies can be very useful as stand-alone mechanisms for curtailing offending conduct, and can also provide significant leverage in the context of a wider trade mark dispute.\nTrade mark monitoring is clearly a must for any brand owner. Domain name monitoring is a less-used but equally important tool as it not only identifies potential cybersquatting and phishing threats before they evolve into a significant problem, but also serves as the most cost-effective way to monitor how third parties might be using your or a similar brand for their own businesses, or to comment on or interfere with yours.\nWe are able to set up an effective monitoring and reporting program so that you are made aware of new phishing and cybersquatting threats only hours after they arise, but are also constantly up to date on any third parties that might be promoting their businesses online using your or a similar brand. |
Sometimes, you crave something and nothing, nothing, nothing in the world will be right until it is yours.\nSometimes, you forget about something you once adored, only to re-discover it and love it even more.\nSometimes, you have something to prove, but only to yourself, and you won’t be satisfied until you prove yourself right.\nAnd, sometimes, you become obsessed with something and can’t imagine life before it was in yours.\nIn order from top to bottom: salt and chocolate, my pistachio KitchenAid stand mixer, the ability to make shortbread, and walnuts.\nMuch to my palate’s and my ego’s delight, these factors collided in happy harmony, the results of which were these Salted Chocolate & Walnut Shortbread cookies.\nI’ve been on a salt kick recently. Not just any salt – Maldon salt. I first read about it in Bon Appetit, and then tasted it at Chewse, where we sprinkle it generously on buttered bread, simple salads, dark chocolate, et al. The crispy pyramids are flaky, crunchy, and mild – the perfect finishing touch to just about any food I can imagine. After buying a box of my own and flaunting the stuff in its own little finishing salt dish, I’ve periodically forced everyone who has entered my kitchen to try a pyramid out for taste.\nMy KitchenAid mixer, a shiny beacon of pistachio goodness, was gifted to me by my lovely grandmother, when I moved into my first big girl apartment. After playing with my new toy (much to my friends’ delight) day and night, I did what most kids do, leaving it to collect dust and take up space on the counter. It moved with me to my next Boston apartment, where it collected more dust, and was eventually packed up and shipped home, across the country.\nWaiting in line at Tartine is a rite of passage every San Franciscan must endure. The delightful scents of churning butter, baking bread, and sugar on sugar on sugar waft out onto the street, where ravenous hipsters and tourists alike wrap around the block like pastry-jonesing ducks in a row. After waiting in said line for longer than I’d care to admit, we collected our earnings (a medley of shortbread cookies and chocolate mousse things) and absconded to Dolores Park like the “good hipsters” we are. I’m glad we went, but the honest to goodness truth was that I thought I could’ve done better. For all you Tartine fans out there, I know this is big talk! Maybe we ordered the wrong stuff – they were out of Pan de Chocolate, okay?! – or, maybe I’m an only child with an inflated ego and nothing to lose, but I was determined to make shortbread cookies worthy of such a tremendous wait.\nThe final piece to the puzzle is walnuts. Walnuts are good. This I knew and have always known. But, only recently did I really really fall for their crunchy, buttery, earthy goodness. In my book, walnuts belong in my oatmeal, in a jar on my desk, on my salad, in my pasta, and now, all up in my dessert. I hereby sanction a recall of the phrase “icing on the cake” in exchange for “walnut in the cookie.” Make these Salted Chocolate & Walnut Shortbread cookies and you’ll know what I mean.\nWell, I’m proud to admit that these cookies turned out great. They’re not too sweet and just salty enough. The little Maldon pyramids sprinkled on top have the slightest little crunch. The butter packed cookies have that satisfying shortbread break with each bite, but just enough give to fold around a spoonful of ice cream for DIY ice cream sandwiches.\nAnd, the good news is, I made these with my eyes half closed! No seriously, I’m not bragging here. They’re so easy to make that I actually managed to do so before work! Let it be known that I am not a do-anything-before-work person. No running, no errands, and certainly no baking. But I’m telling ya, these cookies are so easy and quick to make you’ll actually want to wake up a few minutes before the sun just knowing that their salted walnuty chocolate goodness is in your future.\nIn a medium size mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa, and baking soda.\nIn another medium size mixing bowl, combine brown and granulated sugars.\nUse a hand or stand mixer to cream the butter in a large mixing bowl for about two minutes.\nAdd the sugars and vanilla and mix on medium speed for about two minutes more.\nPour in the dry ingredients. Turn the mixer on low in five-second intervals. Pulse like this five times, then turn the mixer on low for about 30 seconds, or until the dough has formed.\nAdd in the chopped walnuts and salt and mix to combine.\nUnwrap the logs and use a sharp knife to cut each log into ¼ inch thick slices.\nPlace slices a few inches apart on a parchment paper or silicon pad lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with Maldon salt.\nBake the cookies for 12-15 minutes. Cookies should still feel soft when you take them out of the oven. Let rest for a couple minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack. |

The other day when I was in the attic taking down our Christmas decorations, I found a tobacco stick sled that I made a long time ago. I decided that I would bring it down and spruce it up so that I could display it this Christmas.\nI made a lot of these sleds years ago and sold them at craft shows. They were a big seller. I also made chairs out of tobacco sticks and they also sold well at craft shows. I have one chair left and my daughter-in-law has it on her porch. I’ll have to take a picture of it.\nTo give the sled a new look, I dried brushed it with white paint.\nNext, I added some Christmas greens, a red bow and a pair of wooden skates on the front of it.\nI think I’m liking the new make-over.\nFor now, I have it in the entry way but who knows where it will end up.\nI almost forgot that I had that sled and I was so excited when I discovered it. Don’t you just love attic treasure finds?\nYour make over sure changed the look of the sled. Weren't tobacco sticks used to spear tobacco leaves after they were harvested? It sure was a clever use of an item that is fast disappearing.\nGail, I love it. I love the rustic charm and you decorated it just perfectly. Thanks for joining the party this week!\nI am in awe of the entire project! You had me when you said you made the sled! And then you go and decorate it so beautifully. I have my husband's childhood sled that I'm using in my decorations this year. Thanks for giving me some ideas.\nGail, what a fantastic idea! You just had a creative eye and came up with this CUTE decoration. I love it!\nI definitely like the makeover! It is so pretty.\nWow, I love this. Your dressing up looks fantastic.\nStopping by from Kim's Boring to Better party!! Love the sled! I usually put one of the old sleds on the front porch but now I see it needs some adornment!!!\nThat is the cutest thing!! I LOVE the skates!! Thank you so much for following my blog and for coming to my party today!!\nI love the old weathered look. I'm not sure what tobacco sticks are but I like them. It looks really cute with the greenery and the skates.\nThat thing is so darn cute! I pulled down my sleigh (garage sale) and can't wait to put it out. I usually put it in the entryway but might do the front porch this year. I can't decide just yet. Thanks for sharing! |
As we pointed out earlier this week, China’s lack of data protection laws and its determination to overtake the US as the world-leader in AI technology poses a serious threat to US technological hegemony. As Russian President Vladimir Putin once said, whoever dominates the AI race could one day rule the world.\nWell, another advantage that China has in its AI push is its reputation for strict surveillance and law enforcement – which provides for plenty of use-cases where China can test its nascent technology. Case in point: Police in Shenzen are using AI and facial recognition software to install “smart” traffic cameras that can identify and fine Chinese citizens who jaywalk – a crime that is the subject of strict enforcement in China, per the South China Morning Post.\nIntellifusion, a Shenzhen-based AI firm that provides the technology is now in talks with local mobile phone carriers and social media platforms such as WeChat and Sina Weibo to develop a system where offenders will receive personal text messages shortly after a violation has occurred, according to Wang Jun, the company’s director of marketing solutions.\nShenzhen traffic police began displaying photos of jaywalkers on large LED screens at major intersections starting in April 2017. Meanwhile, police stationed at the Zhengzhou East high-speed rail station in Henan province have been equipped with smart glasses with facial recognition software that can identify wanted criminals.\nFor the current system installed in Shenzhen, Intellifusion installed cameras with 7 million pixels of resolution to capture photos of pedestrians crossing the road against traffic lights. Facial recognition technology identifies the individual from a database and displays a photo of the jaywalking offence, the family name of the offender and part of their government identification number on large LED screens above the pavement.\nNearly 14,000 jaywalkers have been cited since Of course, Shenzen isn’t even the most advanced Chinese city in terms of its use of AI for law-enforcement purposes. In Beijing, police are using the world’s first surround-body camera with built in facial recognition technology to hold scofflaws accountable.\nIn what appears to be an effort to shame lawbreakers, police launched a webpage in March displaying photos, names and partial ID numbers of jaywalkers.\nPolice say these measures have reduced the number of repeat offenders. Informing violators via text message would help the city save on construction of large LED screens, which have been used elsewhere in China for shaming purposes.\nHowever, there’s one notable caveat. Shenzhen has one of the most transient populations in China. As a result, many people do not have their information registered in the database of the traffic police, even though anyone staying in the city for more than 30 days is required to do so. That means authorities can only currently identify about 10% of the population.\nFor the average Chinese citizen, this system closely resembles the nightmarish totalitarian dystopia described by George Orwell in his classic novel “1984”.\nWhen a woman walked to work this month in the bustling Southern Chinese metropolis of Shenzhen, she, like many millions of other Chinese, jaywalked, cutting across a side street to avoid a detour of hundreds of yards to a crosswalk. What happened next, as documented by the woman, a writer calling herself Mao Yan, was an illustration of a brave new world being born in China.\nTwo traffic policemen approached the woman and told her that she had violated the traffic regulations of the People’s Republic of China. Eager to get to her job, Mao Yan apologized and pointed out that there was no fencing to block jaywalkers like her. She hoped to get off with a verbal warning. The officers, however, were intent on prosecution. They demanded her identity card, which is issued to all Chinese citizens. When Mao Yan said that she had not brought hers, they asked for her ID number. When she said she had not memorized it, one officer snapped her picture with a camera phone. Seconds later he read out her name, her ID card number and date of birth. Using facial recognition technology, he had identified Mao Yan.\nYan said she was taken aback by the experience. Later, WaPo noted that these surveillance technologies are being used in Western provinces to crack down on separatist movements.\n“It’s intimidation to make everyone afraid,” she said in a social media post she published after her encounter.\nThe post was swiftly taken down by China’s censors. |
Several proposed appropriations dealing with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office will be considered when committees of the Quorum Court meet at 5:30 p.m. today.\nAmong those is a requested transfer of $321,514.70 from the adult jail fund to the Public Safety Sales Tax fund to make up for a deficit in tax funds collected. The requested appropriation would be used to pay salaries and benefits for jail deputies whose salaries are paid from the public safety sales tax instead of county general.\nA second proposed appropriation would transfer $103,154.16 from line items covering salaries and benefits for deputies to other line items to pay utility bills, fuel and oil, computer services, fire insurance and the like. No new money is requested with this appropriation.\nAlso, an ordinance allowing Jefferson County Judge Booker Clemons to accept donations of $28,500 that will be used to purchase furniture and fixtures for the new sheriff’s department building will be considered. In addition to a donation of $25,000 that the department has already received from Simmons First, $2,500 has been donated by FBT Bank and Mortgage and $1,800 from Pine Federal Credit Union.\nIn other business, a proposed $1,123.66 appropriation for election supplies and general supplies for the Jefferson County Election Commission. Of that, $435 will be used to compensate two people who attended poll worker certification training and conducted two of six poll workers training classes. The state board of election commissioners paid for the certification training. The remaining $687.96 was a reimbursement from The Commercial for a duplicate payment on an ad. The money will be used for a replacement computer and other supplies for the general election.\nOther items on the agenda include a proposed appropriation of $29,220.86 for the Road Department that was received by the county treasurer for insurance claims, and a proposed appropriation of $81,432.15 for the Road Department to compensate the department for fuel and services used by other elected officials, departments or agencies. |
A new state law requires cities, counties and fire departments be told ahead of time when an oil train is coming through their community.\nBut it may be the summer of 2017 before they start getting such a heads-up.\nThe state Department of Ecology is working to determine what details on the type and source of oil being shipped must be in the notices to help communities prepare for a derailment, spill or other type of accident.\n“They really want to know the nature of the products getting transported through their area. We have to figure out what’s feasible to require,” said David Byers, response manager for the agency. |

They were nearly home and the sun was out. The rain had pretended it was going to get serious, and then petered out. Or maybe Dad just outran the clouds, leaving them to sit over the APE facility where they probably felt more at home.\nIt had been a strange experience, not one Britta had expected at all. Not that she really had any idea what to expect. She had imagined there’d be some running on a treadmill while someone stood close by with a stopwatch and a clipboard, which was never very likely now that she thought about it. It was wearing the tracksuit that had given her that picture in her mind. For some reason she’d also prepared herself to have to jump over a vaulting horse.\nAnd maybe after that a chat in one of the offices with glasses of sparkling mineral water and Dr Reedy answering all her questions. Not quite how it had turned out.\nBritta stared out of the car window and looked at the shops and houses lined up in drab procession along the side of the road.\nWhich was when Britta remembered the one question she’d told herself to definitely ask, preferably first so she wouldn’t forget, what with all the vaulting and sipping of Pellegrino. Had the destruction of the book resulted in Dad losing the ability point it had given him?\nThey were locked out of the game for twenty-four hours and couldn’t check, but Dr Reedy could. She had access to everyone’s stats and figures. It might have at least answered one of her mysteries. And she had forgotten.\nIt wasn’t really Britta’s fault, though. It had been such a surprise to have to stand in front of all those people (who hadn’t really existed) that everything else had flown out of her head.\nShe took out her phone and called Dr Reedy. There was no reason she couldn’t just ask her.\n“Who are you calling?” asked Dad.\n“I don’t think the game works like that,” said Britta, although how sure was she? Nigel seemed to be constantly updating the rules.\n“Maybe it does,” said Dad.\nDad pulled up outside the house and they got out. Britta’s was still trying to process what Dad had just said. It sounded very plausible. It would certainly make a big difference if it was true. She could go back into the game. She could keep her appointment with Frau Magda. The meeting with APE had gone much quicker than anticipated and it wasn’t even lunch yet.\nShe followed Dad into the house as he called out to let Mum know they were back. Britta considered phoning Dr Reedy, again. But was that even necessary? She could just try the helmet and see if it let her in.\n“Dad will. Love you, Mum.” Britta ran up the stairs to her room. It would only take a second to see if Dad was right.\nShe grabbed the helmet from under the bed and lay down. It was on her head and ready to go in an instant. A couple of minutes later she was in the Temple of Roha.\nShe sat up, smiling. No more forced waiting whenever she died. She still had to figure out if the time had just been reduced or completely removed. Dr Reedy would probably be able to help with that. If she had been told Britta was back in the game early, she was probably looking into it already.\nBritta didn’t have time to think about it right now, though. She had an appointment to keep.\nFinding The Slit Throat on her map only took a second. It was near the posh houses in the southeast part of town, not too far from the Mayor’s residence, which was surprising. With a name like that she’d expected it to be deep in the ghetto.\nAt least that meant less chance of running into unsavoury sorts. Her teleport spell was also active again so she felt like she was back to full strength. She smiled. It felt good to be back in control of her destiny.\nShe left the room and made her way to the street, her map open and showing the way. One step through the door was enough for her to realise things had changed in New Town. |

George Higginbotham, 46, of Washington, D.C., who was employed at the Justice Department as a Senior Congressional Affairs Specialist from July 2016 to August 2018, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to make false statements to a bank before U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the District of Columbia.\nAccording to admissions made in connection with his plea, in 2017 Higginbotham helped facilitate the transfer of tens of millions of dollars from foreign bank accounts to accounts in the United States to finance a lobbying campaign to resolve civil and criminal matters related to the Department of Justice’s investigation of the embezzlement and bribery scheme concerning 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). Higginbotham admitted that the foreign principal behind the lobbying campaign was alleged to be the primary architect of the 1MDB scheme. Higginbotham, as a Justice Department employee, played no role in any aspect of the investigation and failed to influence any aspect of the Department’s investigation of 1MDB. Higginbotham further admitted that another purpose of the lobbying campaign was an attempt to persuade high-level U.S. government officials to have a separate foreign national, who was residing in the United States on a temporary visa at the time, removed from the United States and sent back to his country of origin.\nIn order to conceal the identity of the foreign principal behind the lobbying campaign, Higginbotham admitted to conspiring to make false statements to financial institutions in the United States concerning the source and purpose of the funds. Higginbotham also admitted to working on various fake loan and consulting documents in order to deceive banks and other regulators about the true source and purpose of the money.\nThe Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General and the FBI are investigating the case. Deputy Chief John Keller and Trial Attorneys Ryan Ellersick, James Mann, Sean Mulryne, and Nicole Lockhart of the Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section, and Deputy Chief Woo Lee and Trial Attorney Joshua Sohn of the Criminal Division’s Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section are prosecuting the case. |

Gillingham Town Team was launched in 2013 to promote the town and revitalise the High Street with a mix of community, cultural and retail activities. Working parties looked in more detail at areas like the town's appearance, event planning, promotion and enhancing the town conservation area as a destination. A High Street survey was undertaken in 2015 with local businesses, which has fed into the work of the Town Team.\nTo improve the town's appearance, a group was set up to focus on the heritage aspects of Gillingham, working with Historic England, the District Council, and others to look at the wider possibilities for heritage and creative improvements. Areas of interest include public art, better signage, enhanced planting schemes, improving the conservation area, replacing bins and removing graffiti. Current work includes developing a Conservation Area Appraisal. |
2 What Are Fever Blisters?\n3.1 Cold Sores and Fever Blisters: Are They Serious?\n3.2 Are Cold Sores and Fever Blisters Contagious?\n10 Do Home Remedies for Cold Sores or Fever Blisters Really Work?\nCold sores or fever blisters as they are sometimes called are suffered by countless thousands of people worldwide. They are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Some people are lucky and seldom if ever suffer an outbreak, whereas others are less fortunate and suffer repeatedly from the pain and discomfort they can cause.\nThe first signs of a sore developing for many people can be a burning or tingling sensation around the mouth and lips, a sore throat and in some cases swollen glands, usually in ones neck. It is harder as a parent to determine if a young child is about to have an outbreak as they are less specific as to what symptoms they are experiencing, but the onset of cold sores is often associated with dribbling as the sore develops.\nThe actual sores are the result of the reproductive process of the virus, which having entered a healthy cell, causes that cell to replicate the virus. The virus then destroys the host cell, releasing millions of cells in a confined area, which produces what is commonly called the cold sore.\n1. Ultra Violet Light – One must be careful not to overdo exposure to the sun. When sunbathing use a suitable sun block.\n2. Stress – Either physical or emotional is a major cause because it weakens the body’s immune system causing the virus to become active.\n3. Menstrual periods – An outbreak can often be associated with women’s periods.\n4. Diet – This plays an important part in one’s general health and consequently your body’s ability to fight off a flare up.\n5. Alcohol – Taken in excess, alcohol can rob your body of essential nutrients which can cause cold sores to erupt.\nTo suppress a cold sore outbreak there are several things one can do to assist the body in suppressing the virus.\nControlling stress is very important. Avoid emotional conflict and ensure one has sufficient sleep.\nA diet containing more fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, beans and lentils, free range meats and filtered water strengthens the body and provides the nutrients needed by the immune system to function properly.\nThere are countless treatments available across the counter or from your family doctor, for them, producing various results, but now there are extremely effective and fast acting natural treatments available that allow you to get a cold sore treatment quickly and eliminate them forever. If you suffer from unsightly cold sores you should investigate these natural treatments which so many people are now raving about.\nMedical experts are not sure as to why fever blisters are formed but they are of the opinion that people who suffer from vitamin deficiency and have a low immunity system are more prone to these blisters. Parents therefore should be careful with their young ones and supply them with sufficient fibres, vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates diets which can help them to develop a strong immunity system.\nStress, frequent illnesses like cold or flu and over exposure to sunlight can also be a cause for fever blisters and more importantly those who suffer with a weak immunity system are more susceptible to it.\nPrecaution is better than cure. So the best way to get rid of fever blisters is to avoid getting them at all by being careful about your diet and leading a healthy life so that if you do fall a victim to a fever blister you will be able to come out of them soon.\nHow to get rid of fever blisters can be a cause of anxiety but the way to prevent it is to avoid coming into direct contact with one who has it by refusing to share utensils, linen or other items that may transfer the virus from one to the other.\nStudies have shown that application of sunscreen on the lips can also prevent fever blisters. L-Lysine is a supplement that may help you to get rid of fever blisters. Also avoid taking chocolates and nuts as these can aggravate the disorder of fever blisters.\nA vaccine to help in getting rid of fever blisters is on its way soon so till then nothing can be more helpful than precaution itself.\nThe HSV-1, or the herpes simplex virus, is the primary cause of cold sores and fever blisters—both of which are the exact same condition that affects the lips. The medical term for cold sores and fever blisters is ‘herpes labialis’. However the word ‘labialis’ is not be confused with genital herpes, which uses the same etymology for the labia of a female’s genitalia. Though rare, cold sores and fever blisters can spread on and around the mouth. And in most serious cases, cold sores and fever blisters swell out over the face, which is called ‘orofacial herpes’.\nCold Sores and Fever Blisters: Are They Serious?\nThe first question that runs your mind when you think about cold sores and fever blisters is whether or not these conditions are serious. They can be. But most of the time, cold sores and fever blisters remain latent for years before showing any symptoms. And when you do find cold sores and fever blisters, chances are they will disappear within two weeks.\nCold sores and fever blisters are recurrent, as the virus causing it stays in the skin around the mouth. The condition usually comes and goes. Throughout a year, a patient may experience up to a dozen or more recurrences of cold sores and fever blisters. Fortunately, most patients with cold sores and fever blisters don’t have to go through it all. In less serious cases, cold sores and fever blisters stay dormant and only occur 5 to 10 days, once or twice annually.\nAre Cold Sores and Fever Blisters Contagious?\nApparently, over 64 percent of adults in the U.S. have this condition, and that doesn’t yet include teenagers who have the herpes simplex virus dormant in their systems. And yes, cold sores and fever blisters are contagious. As a matter of fact, STDs don’t even come close to how infectious this condition is, because cold sores and fever blisters can be contracted with just a single touch.\nInstantaneously, the virus can get transferred to the next person’s hand. If that virus somehow comes in contact with an abrasion on the mouth, specifically the oral mucosal tissue, it will initiate the infection and this person will start to develop cold sores and fever blisters.\nEven when the herpes simplex virus stays latent underneath the facial skin, it still infects that area. It doesn’t always mean that you have to keep your distance from someone who has cold sores and fever blisters, but you still have to be very careful so as not to touch the infected area.\nThe risk for contracting cold sores blisters is very high. More often than not, a person already has it unknowingly. It’s even harder to back track steps and figure out from whom he or she got the herpes simplex virus.\nIn order to fully protect oneself from catching this disease, one should consult with the family physician whenever he or she comes in contact with a person infected with cold sores blisters virus.\nGetting cold sores or fever blisters in and around the nose and on other parts of your face can be more painful than the ones that generally appear on the lips and around the mouth.\nThe cold sores or fever blisters in and around the nose are similar to those that appear on your lips and mouth. They swell and form blisters which erupt, produce scabbing and finally heal, usually leaving no scars. This is called nasal herpes.\nBasically, the virus goes through the same stages that oral herpes goes through; that of the ‘prodrome’ stage, the ‘weeping’ stage and the ‘healing’ stage. The ‘prodome’ stage consists of feeling a burning or tingling feeling followed by a formation of a cluster of small blisters at the site of infection.\nNext is the ‘weeping’ stage when the fever blister starts to ooze and crust over into a scab. Finally, in the ‘healing’ stage, the cold sores or fever blisters in or around the nose scab or crust over and are replaced by fresh new skin. The cold sores or fever blisters in and around the nose can be a result of autoinoculation, where you actually spread the virus from one area to another yourself. Cold sores are highly contagious. Picking your nose when you accidentally touch an active outbreak of a cold sore is one way of transmitting the virus to your nostrils. Being conscious of what you touch and where your hands have been will help avoid spreading the virus to other parts of your body. Washing your hands often with soap and water will also help prevent autoinoculation.\nThe cold sores or fever blisters in and around the nose can get really irritating and extremely painful particularly if you have the flu or a cold at the same time. The conditions inside the nose, being moist and warm, make the virus thrive which can increase its chances to infect nearby areas and can lead to a longer healing time than usual. They are aggravated every time you try to blow and wipe your nose as it is nearly impossible to avoid the sores.\nWhen the scabbing stage begins, the crusting becomes hard due to the constant flow of air in the nostrils. This means the scabs can easily break and bleed with just a movement of your nose. The skin in the nostrils is fragile and thin which increases the possibility of the scabs breaking and bleeding easily. This can promote further infection of the virus.\nApplying home remedies like placing ice on the nose can help relieve the pain of the cold sores or fever blisters and can speed up the healing time. Taking L-lysine can also shorten the duration of the episode.\nHaving cold sores or fever blisters on any part of your face is unpleasant enough. But having cold sores and fever blisters in and around your nose could possibly be the worst. However it may be possible to stop a cold sore or fever blister in and around the nose before it starts.\nConsidering more than half of the world’s population carries the herpes simplex virus 1, there are definitely needs for fever blister remedies. It doesn’t take much for the virus to move itself from one host to the next. The infection of a person comes from making contact with another person carrying the virus.\nMany times, all it takes for virus transfer is for people to share saliva, whether it is through kissing, or sharing a drinking cup or eating utensil. People carrying the virus that causes fever blisters should take precautions so that they don’t spread it to others, including family members and co-workers. The areas they usually transmit from include the lips, eyes, and ears.\nPeople must avoid scratching or even touching those infected areas. If there is a need to physically relieve an itch, use a cotton ball or preferably a small cotton swab that can be promptly discarded. It would be nice to wrap the cotton swab in a tissue so know one accidentally touches it during trash can dumping.\nContacting others orally is an obvious no-no. This contagious virus would easily and quickly transmit to the next person. Those items used for consumption of food and drink need to be cleaned thoroughly, and using some antibacterial cleaning solution would be best.\nA technique people can opt to use as a fever blister home remedy is an age old tradition that may seem primitive, but it is effective. Many people have seen improvements in their recovery when they apply toothpaste to the location of the blister. The amount needed depends upon the severity of the cold sore. When using toothpaste, cooling and numbing sensations come about from the paste ingredients. The sensations reduce and relieve the pain and itching as the blood flow increases to the fever blister, sending a more rapid supply of white blood cells. For the toothpaste, its active and inactive ingredients which include baking soda, enzymes, and such will help kill germs and bacteria in the immediate area.\nDetermining early that the virus is bubbling up will greatly aid in treating and reducing the severity of the fever blister. Some of the warnings for an onset of a cold sore include itchiness, slight warmth, and even a bump forming on the skin.\nWhen detected, clean, disinfect, sanitize, and apply toothpaste to the location. Try to apply the paste evenly with a cotton swab, and do this in the morning and before laying down for bed. The fever blisters will eventually heal.\nUse sunscreen on a sunny day as a preventative measure if a blister isn’t present. Since the herpes simplex virus 1 cannot be cured, numerous tips including the previous few need to be taken as fever blister remedies, or at least, preventative measures. Detecting the virus early can be a great weapon and so is educating those who are most susceptible around you. If you can prevent a cold sore, you won’t have to worry about the multitude of fever blister remedies.\nSome may think fever blisters remedies to be a tale but it is actually a reality to others. When using fever blister remedies on lips or any other varieties of canker sores it truly is vital you take safety measures on what ingredients you applying on your mouth sores. Should you be not cautious of the fever blister remedies used you might make your cold sores a lot more uncomfortable and painful. When you are infected with fever blisters, you must avoid foods like grains, peas, peanuts, chocolate, oatmeal and whole-wheat products.\nBelow are 6 effective fever blister remedies you can refer to.\n1) The easy fever blister remedies are to always maintain the fever blisters clean and dry. Don’t try to cover them up with cosmetics as performing so will only worsen the fever blisters. Other than that, covering up with thick layers of foundation is not effective as well.\n2) Applying fever blisters area with petroleum gel will speed up the recovery process, stay away from cracking, bleeding, and try to reduce spreading. Apply lip balm as fever blister remedies that proven having sunscreen protection will help to avoid making the fever blisters worsen. Take note that most of the times fever blisters attacks are caused by long duration of sunlight exposure.\n3) One of the fever blister remedies is putting tea bags and ice on fever blisters will help if reducing the pain and soreness, and also minimize the inflammation. Tea contained Tannic acid that has natural anti-viral elements that can assist to fight the fever blister virus.\n4) Other fever blister remedies include taking lots of lysine foods and keep away from those that are either high in citric acid or high in arginine. Lysine stops the fever blister virus from replicating and on the other hand arginine keeps them alive. Try to eat more dairy foods and potatoes that are major sources of lysine.\nSteer clear of or do away with arginine sources like whole grains, peas and chocolates. Acidic foods are verified to hasten and worsen fever blister, so reduce taking citrus fruits will definitely help.\n5) Some herbs such as sage and aloe Vera are commonly used and extremely helpful. Just putting few drops of the extract and waits for the anti-viral elements to work on the fever blisters. This is one of the natural fever blister remedies.\n6) Of course, the most easy fever blister remedies are to visit clinic or pharmacy and ask for doctor-prescribed medicines to put to your fever blisters. Practically all of them alleviate the pain and soreness caused by fever blisters. Nonetheless, although some anti-fever blister medications tell you that they are able to cure your cold sores permanently, don’t anticipate it to really do.\nBear in mind that the fever blister virus normally stays inside the nerve endings for a long period. Other than keep looking for fever blister remedies, the best way to defence against it is to find out what actually cause your fever blister attack. The causes are different for every individual.\nWhen in search of fever blister remedies it is ideal to first check for basic solutions that you simply can apply with natural resources that can easily found within your home. Performing this will most likely save you a trip towards the grocery shop.\nMany people have apple cider vinegar in their dwelling hence you might need to begin with those fever blisters remedies initially. This fever blisters home remedies are easy to apply and very inexpensive. However a lot of time the fever blister remedies suggested above is not good enough for some individual who have more severe fever blisters.\nHome cold sore remedies are desired as a way of preventing the flare-up of fever blisters. This would prevent the need to continually purchase over-the-counter or prescribed medications in order to keep treating the problem. This is necessary as there is not a cold sore cure.\nThe onset of a cold sore can be detected ahead of time if you train yourself to be aware of the warning signs. Some of the common indicators of a developing cold sore include itching, tingling, and warmth at the location that will become a fever blister.\nThis period of time usually lasts several hours and provides a period of time where precautions can be taken. During this time, it is highly advised to not touch this area.\nTo touch or scratch the area will act as a catalyst for the herpes virus to travel to other areas that will be touched. If the overwhelming urge to scratch or clean near the area can’t be overcome, you should clean the area with an anti-bacterial solution, and wipe the area clean with a disposable cotton ball or swab.\nIt would be great to not have to go through this, and that is why we should take full advantage of proper nutrition in order to reduce cold sore occurrences. If you have a good home cold sore diet, you can make the herpes simplex virus dormant.\nA good diet and exercise program should be followed to suppress the virus. The changes you make in your diet to improve the alkaline content in your body is what puts the virus in a dormant state. Making these positive changes in your diet for a lifetime can lead to never seeing that cold sore in the mirror again.\nThe herpes simplex virus 1 needs an acidic environment to thrive, and in this state it is hard to suppress outbreaks. Balancing your diet between acidic and alkaline foods in the proper proportions will lead to significant reductions in the outbreak of cold sores, as it usually makes the virus dormant. Home cold sore remedies are great, but consult a nutritionist on how to go about implementing some of these changes to your diet.\nThere are food choices that should be reduced or eliminated altogether in order to succeed with this method.\nFoods to avoid include high fat dairy products, margarine products, saturated fat foods, mayonnaise, junk food, artificial sweeteners, chocolate, etc.\nVarious kinds of preservatives used in food also help trigger outbreaks, so focus on natural, least processed foods. High fibre foods are good for the heart, increase the metabolism, have low acidity, and are usually all natural.\nAvoid those acidic foods to avoid cold sore outbreaks. Water, milk, and juices are excellent drinks to stay hydrated, but be sure to reduce your caffeine intake. Make your food choices your home cold sore remedies, and stop suffering from fever blisters.\nOnce you get a fever blister, you will experience pain, numbness, burning and tingling around your mouth or lips. Before you figure out how to get rid of a cold sore, the infected skin around your lips will turn red. After 4-5 days the red skin will turn into yellow crust. This usually means that your cold sore should heal in about 8-10 days.\nDon’t touch your blister – The first tip on how to get rid of fever blisters is to keep them from spreading by not touching the infected skin. Touching the blisters frequently will only add infection to your cold sore. And scratching them for getting rid of cold sores will only harm your skin.\nLastly, one of the main reasons why you should not touch your cold sore is to avoid spreading the virus. Touching your fever blisters and making physical contact with your friends and families will only put them at risk of getting them too.\nKeep it clean – How do you get rid of a cold sore and the associated pain? Simple – you can ease the soreness by using soap and water. Rub the soap smoothly into your fever blisters then wash it off. But make sure that the soap will not be used by others to avoid cross contamination. Cleaning your fever blisters once in a while will also help lessen the bacteria around your mouth and prevent further infection.\nApply a cream – There are creams that contain zinc oxide, which has been said to lessen the outbreak of fever blisters. Some creams require prescription but there are also over-the-counter creams for getting rid of a cold sore. Creams can also alleviate the pain and tingling of fever blisters.\nConsult your doctor -If you’re really bothered and want to make sure that you’re doing the proper thing, it is best to ask your doctor how do you get rid of cold sores. Getting a check-up will help you to know the cause and treatment for fever blisters. You can also ask your doctor if he or she can prescribe antiviral medicine or creams to heal faster.\nThe above steps are just some ways how to get rid of cold sores – there are still many others. Just make sure that you take note of the signs and prevent the spreading of the virus.\nSome remedies can sooth the pain, reduce the area affected, and speed up the healing process, cutting short the duration of the visible sore. One of the most common remedies, and possibly the cheapest, is treating cold sores and fever blisters with ice.\nA lot of cold sore sufferers testify to the amazing effects that treating cold sores and fever blister with ice has on their outbreaks. Sometimes ice can even stop the virus from turning into a full-blown occurrence. To accomplish this you need to take action immediately at the first sign of an oncoming outbreak, also known as the ‘prodrome stage’, when you get that tingling or itching sensation.\nTreating cold sores and fever blisters with ice involves putting an ice pack on the area affected and holding it there for a few minutes and taking it off occasionally if it gets too painful. Do this for about 10-15 minutes every hour or more, if you have time. Doing this in the early stages of an outbreak reduces the virus’ metabolism, discourages its reproduction and can eventually push the virus back into hibernation.\nTreating cold sores and fever blisters with ice is a fairly effective way to stop a full-blown outbreak. The results may vary from one person to another. In the event that it continues to develop, continue applying ice on the area to help ease the pain and to stop further swelling. This will also make the cold sore go away faster than usual.\nTreating cold sores and fever blisters with ice can produce remarkable effects on its own. And if used with other treatments, it can produce better results.\nFrozen tea bags are an example of a treatment with ice incorporated in it. This treatment provides the soothing effects of ice and increases the potential of suppressing the cold sore virus. Tea contains natural anti-viral properties that can be used as an organic remedy for cold sores or fever blisters.\nAnother combination that many sufferers find success with is; ice followed by rubbing alcohol. This dries out the sore and keeps the area sterile.\nThere are many other home remedies for treating cold sores or fever blisters that sufferers have used with varying degrees of success. Using ice as an inhibitive measure and in combination with other treatments for cold sores or fever blisters is fairly effective. However treating cold sores or fever blisters with ice is still treating an outbreak. A more effective solution would be to stop the cold sore before it starts.\nDo Home Remedies for Cold Sores or Fever Blisters Really Work?\nDo home remedies for cold sores really work? Curing cold sores is difficult, if not next to impossible. No treatment works for everyone. One person will have good results with a remedy and another person will say that it doesn’t work for them. In addition there are differing strategies.\nOne approach is to try and dry the sore. Another approach is to keep it moist and deprive it of oxygen, and still a third is to dry it out and then keep it moist.\nIn addition, there are other preparations that are normal house hold supplies that do not fall into either category, with examples of how they could be used.\nDo home remedies for cold sores really work? The method of drying out the sore involves applying some sort of astringent to the site. There are many different products that accomplish this. Most of them contain alcohol or a solvent that dries out the skin.\nHere is a partial list, starting with the most logical and proceeding to the hard to believe. Most of the time one would use ice and/or open the blisters with a needle before using these products.\nDrying the sore is probably a better strategy than keeping it moist. Almost all of the over the counter preparations keep the area moist. Usually this is not effective in shortening the episode.\nNext is a partial list of remedies that don’t really fall into either category. They are reported to be helpful in treating cold sores.\nMost of these home remedies are reported to shorten the episode, but again they focus on applying something to the sore after it has already started. So the best that can be expected is to shorten the healing time and perhaps relieve some of the pain. But be aware that some of them actually increase the pain. |

Review-South Carolina metal punk rockers Burnt Books start this cd off with a huge bang with Selfish Friend, like they are warning you to buckle up for this ride. What an opening track, this sounds like if Black Flag met Jane’s Addiction by way of Jesus Lizard. This song is the best way for this band to introduce themselves to new audiences and get you people stoked, and they kick it off with a loud, thunderous and really heavy song that will get you off your chair to rock with them. And what a shock on track two Empty Eyes they keep the intensity going and just add some more adrenaline and power to it. Zoe Lollis sounds like she is screaming inside a plastic bag and she is having an asthma attack at the same time, then her choruses she sounds like she has been listening to Karen Black and wanted to try and one up her sound. In a world of music where most female musicians all sound alike, look alike and you know what to expect wait till you hear what Zoe gives you, this is something unique and different. And she also plays a mean banjo and does a soft ballad with it, yes this is a metal band but she does the song more for the uniqueness of the music more than a gimmick.\nAs the cd goes on we get a song called In a Shallow Grave which starts off with a little nod to PJ Harvey then into full out of control screaming and her asthma attack vocal range. Which is not a bad thing at all, and I think this makes this band more than a Walls of Jericho comparison and gets them in their own place. Burnt Books has a bunch of talented musicians who back up their singer and give her a sonic background of noise and fury that she really makes her own nirvana and creates a chaotic mess that is such a much listen. This cd is just loud in your face, then all over the place and in your face then just out of control chaos, which for this band and this lead singer fits them like a glove. This could be the new Jesus Lizard for 2013 if they had The Melvins join them as well. |

Your landscape designer will arrange the vegetation in a way such that no plant over-shadows the other. This means that taller plants will be in the back and around the perimeter of the garden and the medium to smaller ones are planted in the center.\nStones are a huge part of the Japanese garden style. Ask your landscape designer to incorporate various sizes of rocks and boulders sporadically throughout the garden.\nAsk them to add pebbles or river rock throughout the garden as well to create a scene that makes you feel as if you are near a waterfall or lake.\nInclude a water feature in the design. A great example is a babbling brook or a stream with river rock in the bottom that runs throughout the garden, between the plants and trees. Expect to hire an electrician to install the electrical pump so that the water flows over the rocks and throughout the garden.\nKeep the furniture in your Japanese garden simple. An outdoor bench with an Asian design is all you need. Overloading the area with furniture clutters up the garden, which takes away some of the Zen ambiance.\nAnother option is a small round table with two chairs so that you and a friend can enjoy the peace and tranquility of the garden.\nWork with a landscape designer like All Season Landscaping to choose the right Japanese garden plants, rocks, pebbles and furniture. Ask the designer how to keep the babbling brook or creek clean, as well as what the proper care method is for the plants to keep them looking great for years to come. |
Wet… Wet… WET! We’ve never seen the field this wet before. We figured that there is a layer of frozen soil preventing the east west drainage on the north side from removing the water. Henry (right), fearless golf cart driver, and I (left) checked out the field and drove around the pond.\nThe two concrete drains were flowing from the pond. Henry thought that maybe the pond overflow pipe might be plugged a little but water was flowing out.\nEthan Saladin (l.) and Larry Kirkbride (r.) installed the head rests and center back cushion for the Grob 103.\nStaring out of the clubhouse through the rain we noticed the wind sock was on the ground, so there was no flying Saturday.\nTyler Dockum got his initial flight training at CCSC starting with Youth Camp. That helped him win an appointment to the Air Force Academy and gave him a good foundation on which to build his piloting skills. Tyler has maintained his membership in CCSC in order to be able to fly gliders on his visits home from the Academy.\nAt the Academy Tyler has been preparing to fly some very powerful aircraft.\nIn prior issues the requirements for the Silver Badge have been introduced. This time let’s look more closely at the Silver Distance Requirement. A great way to prepare for this flight is to practice flying the triangle with CCSC, Warren County (I68) and Dayton-Wright Brothers (MGY) as the turn points. The total distance around that triangle is very close to the 50 kilometers required for the “Distance” portion of the Silver Badge. A big difference is that for the Silver Badge the 50 kilometers must be a straight line distance. So pull out your sectional chart and look for an airport that is at least 50 kilometers away from CCSC. How about Fayette County (I23)? It is a little over 50 km away and if you stay to the north of the Wilmington Class D airspace there are airports which might work as alternates in case the lift disappears.\na) Aircraft engine and airframe logbooks, and owner’s manual. b) Radio operator’s permit, and repair and alteration forms. c) Operating limitations and Registration Certificate.\nThe board approved treating the Grob-102 in the same manner as for the past three years, so if you want to take best advantage of BG in 2018 you want to declare that desire and sign up. Everyone who wants to fly BG is asked sign up and prepay $90. For the rest of the year those members may fly up to 2-hour blocks as many times as they want with no additional Aircraft Use Fee. Other members will be charged $25 for each Aircraft Use and will be limited to 1-hour blocks. The Hook-up Fee, Basic Tow Fee and Altitude Index Fee will follow the Schedule of Fees and Dues for all pilots, only the Aircraft Use Fee and the flight duration limit are different.\nThis will be a big help if your goal is the C badge (solo flight exceeding 60 minutes) or Bronze badge (at least 10 flights in a single-place glider with at least two flights having a duration of two hours or more) or the silver badge. If you want to fly the G-102 more than four times or for flights lasting more than an hour with no additional Aircraft Use Fee in 2018 it is to your advantage to declare that desire by email to Jim Dudley. The $90 G-102 Fee will appear on your March statement, payable by March 31.\nThe runway is primarily for flying sailplanes. Alternate use for such activities as model airplane flying, etc. is permitted only when sailplane operations are not in progress. Sailplane flying ALWAYS preempts any other activity.\nHunting or discharging firearms (target practice) on the gliderport property is not permitted.\nUse of fireworks is not permitted.\nYour written comments are welcome. Please submit them to any board member prior to the March 3, 2018 meeting of the Board. |

The members of EMeRG serve because of our passion for public service and emergency medicine, and these motivating factors drive us to continue to excel as healthcare providers regardless of our areas of collegiate study.\nThe George Washington University Emergency Medical Response Group (EMeRG) was founded in 1994 by Emergency Health Services students Jacob Abbott and Geoff Shapiro. EMeRG began and currently operates as a licensed BLS agency in the District of Columbia.\nCampus bike response began in 1996. Responders provided Basic Life Support and treatment to patients and then transferred patient care to DC Fire and EMS (DCFEMS) when transportation to the Emergency Department was needed. Patient care capabilities were expanded in 2001 when EMeRG obtained a Quick Response Vehicle (QRV) to better respond on campus. The QRV decreased response time and increased equipment providers could utilize during response.\nEMeRG began its first ambulance operations in the fall of 2008. The patient care abilities of the organization increased as care providers were able to not only respond and assess patients on scene, but transport them to the hospital as well. EMeRG providers are also able to work more directly with DC Fire and EMS Advanced Life Support, when necessary, to treat patients requiring more interventions outside of the Basic Life Support capabilities of EMeRG. In the spring of 2009, EMeRG obtained an additional ambulance for campus and community response.\nEMeRG has a close relationship with many other organizations on campus; because of this, standby support is provided for many events on campus including games hosted at the Smith Center. EMeRG also regularly provides standby medical care for training exercises for the University Police Department.\nEMeRG is a member of the National Collegiate Emergency Medical Services Foundation (NCEMSF). The organization has served as National Conference host in 2003 and co-host, with Georgetown University Emergency Medical Response Service, GERMS, in 2009. |

Spherical glass bulb (purple from radiation damage) with cylindrical stems carrying the electrodes (cathode end broken).\nThe Coolidge Tube, first produced in 1913 by W. Coolidge, is the forerunner of all the types of x-ray tubes in common use today. The Coolidge tube was the first type of practical x-ray tube to employ the principle of thermionic emission.\nA tungsten filament is used as the tube cathode, and during operation is heated to incandescence by passing a current through it. This causes the filament to emit electrons at a rate dependent on the temperature of the filament. The electrons are then accelerated towards the tube anode by the strong tube voltage. Upon hitting the anode, the electrons are decelerated very rapidly, and shed their excess kinetic energy mostly as heat, and partly as x-ray radiation. To prevent the electron beam from dispersing due to repulsive forces between the electrons, the cathode filament is surrounded by a metal focusing cup at a high negative potential, that has the effect of converging the beam to a relatively small focal area on the anode. X-ray tubes previous to the Coolidge tube (known as Gas Tubes), relied for their electron source, on the tube voltage being strong enough to 'pull' electrons from the cathode. These were accelerated towards the anode, and collided with residual gas molecules purposefully left in the tube, ionizing the molecules and causing the ejection of more electrons. In this way, the required electron beam was built up with a kind of 'avalanche effect'. However, the number of electrons in a beam produced this way, and their energy upon collision with the anode, were both dependent on the gas pressure within the tube, which was rarely stable, and difficult to control. In addition, the number of electrons produced in this way, was, by today's standards extremely small, and hence the intensity of the produced x-rays very low, leading to very long exposure times.\nThe Coolidge tube, using as it did thermionic emission to obtain a source of electrons, removed the dependency on residual gas for the number and energy of the electrons in the electron beam (an indeed in Coolidge tubes, almost all gas is removed). In fact, as the number of electrons produced depended on the current applied across the cathode filament, and the energy of the electrons on the tube voltage, the Coolidge tube made it possible to easily and independently vary the number of electrons (and hence the intensity of x-rays produced), and their energy (and hence the frequency of produced x-rays). Also, thermionic emission allowed a much higher bound on the numbers of electrons produced, and hence lead to a drastic reduction in exposure times. |
