The forests are spread over three ranges: the Kulathupuzha in the north, Palode in the middle, and the Paruthipalli ranges in the south. These forests may be amply classified into three classes, namely, Southern tropical and semi-evergreen forests, Southern tropical wet evergreen forests and Southern tropical moist deciduous forests. Social forestry programs are being implemented under the World Bank-aided Kerala Social Forestry Project, National Rural Employment Program (NREP) and Rural Fuel Wood Schemes to assist small scale and marginal farmers.\nForest Department is one of the few oldest and important administrative body parts of the State with its head office at Thiruvananthapuram. Kerala Forest Department like other state departments in the country, has evolved over last one and half years in response to alterations in Forest Policy, main concerns in five year plans and demands on the forests. Major responsibilities allotted to the department are Biodiversity Conservation, Forest protection, Wildlife Management and research, plantation Development, Forest Vigilance and Evaluation, Social Forestry, Eco-development and Tribal Welfare, Planning and Research, Tribal Rehabilitation and Special Afforestation, FMIS, Infrastructure and Human Resource Development, General Administration encompassing Recruitment and Establishment matters.\nThenmala, Agastyarkoodam peak and Peppara wildlife sanctuary are the major forest ranges in Thiruvananthapuram.

A new British-built sportscar, which combined a stylish, ultra-lightweight two-seater body with exceptional chassis dynamics and awesome performance is unveiled at the 2008 Autosport International Show at the NEC in Birmingham. MM Industries, which now owns the former Strathcarron sportscar business, is presenting its production Avocet two-seater during the show’s two trade days, prior to a public launch later in the year.\nThe Avocet is displayed by Surface Transforms (Stand E304) - whose latest technology carbon ceramic brake system is fitted to the car. The system, which will be available as an extra cost option, reduces overall weight by 2.5 kilograms per corner, with a resultant improvement in handling and braking performance.\nThe car will be built in South Essex by the specialist automotive engineering and motorsport team which recently acquired the business of Roush Technologies in the UK. The vehicle will use selected Ford standard and performance parts, which will give the car a mature component inventory which is fully tested and proven in the market.\nMMI has placed an order for a limited initial production run of the car, which now features a significantly restyled doorless moulded bodyshell and incorporates some of the latest lightweight composite materials. The standard car features a steeply inclined windscreen, although a very attractive low-line wrap-around aero-screened ‘Spyder’ version is also planned.\nThe standard powertrain incorporates a Ford 2-litre Duratec engine, recalibrated by Roush to suit the installation – and develop 150bhp. An uprated 225bhp version, developed by Roush’s Mountune performance division, will be available as a special order option. An all-up weight of around 700 kilograms will, in power to weight terms, position the Avocet alongside the quickest – and, with a 0-60 time under 5 seconds, is expected to make the car extremely competitive.\nCurrent plans include building around 50 cars in the first year – with both left and right-hand drive versions available. The car will be sold as a fully equipped, fully homologated road-going sportscar. MMI is keen to differentiate the Avocet from the cluster of kit and track-day cars which have visited the market over recent years. A high degree of ‘customisation’ is to be offered – and extras for the car include a removable roof and exclusive detachable, fashion-styled travel luggage, which will clip into special cradles behind the cockpit.\n“The original ambition to develop and produce a small, lightweight British sportscar at an affordable price, has not changed. The Avocet is an attractive looking car which uses core Ford componentry – all widely available off the shelf. As a result, the car possesses mature product handling, excellent driveability – and awesome performance. We believe that the Avocet will satisfy the gap in the market which has remained unoccupied for far too long – for an affordable performance sportscar with proven volume market reliability”, says MMI Founder and Managing Director, Martin Miles.\n“The new production Avocet retains the original Reynard designed chassis, subsequently further developed by Ray Mallock and Chapman – and it has exceptional structural rigidity. The redesigned one-piece body utilises composite materials to provide remarkable strength combined with low weight. Add to that Roush’s experience of powertrain engineering, packaging and production – and we can be totally confident that this new car will fit the defined niche in the market for which our research has demonstrated that there is a significant demand”, says Miles. |

If Nike Kills The FuelBand, Is An iWatch Partnership With Apple Imminent?\nNike is reportedly laying off its FuelBand team to focus on fitness software, instead.\nYou might want to think twice about purchasing a new Nike FuelBand. Over the weekend, CNET reported that Nike has decided to stop production of the fitness bracelet, which included a slimmer version planned for the fall. Of the company’s 70 FuelBand employees, 55 were reportedly let go.\nAs a fast-paced, global business we continually align resources with business priorities. As our Digital Sport priorities evolve, we expect to make changes within the team, and there will be a small number of layoffs. We do not comment on individual employment matters.\nApple and Nike are intrinsically tied. Apple CEO Tim Cook has been on Nike’s board of directors for almost a decade now, and that strategic partnership has manifested in some curious ways, like Nike’s decision to make the FuelBand incompatible with Google’s Android.\nSeveral concept artists have based their iWatch renderings on Nike’s trim designs. As Fast Company previously reported, Apple is beefing up its wearables team to focus on health tracking, poaching little-known sleep experts specializing in sensors. But Apple’s most telling hire may have occurred last September, when Apple nabbed designer Ben Shaffer.\nShaffer’s last employer, of course, was Nike. Though Shaffer was not involved on the FuelBand project itself, he led Nike’s “Innovation Kitchen,” which specialized in exploring new construction technologies like the Flyknit.\nAt this point, an Apple-Nike iWatch is mostly speculation, and such a magical device by two of the world’s most innovative companies may never come to fruition. But I’d be surprised if there was nothing there. |

Are you dreaming of a tram that looks exactly how you want it? Brno Transport Company (DPMB) is calling for members of the public to submit designs for two new special 150th anniversary trams, to be rolled out in Brno at the end of the year. Image: Templates by DPMB.\nBrno, Feb 12 (BD) – The competition is named “Tramvaj pro Brno”. There are some conditions that the designs must meet: they must be in the Brno colours of red and white and feature only flat line graphics, with no curved lines, patterns, or pictures. They must also take account of the shape of the tram and leave the windows and doors clear. Proposals must be submitted before 10am on February 28, at which point DPMB will select a shortlist of five designs, which will then go to a public vote to decide on a winner, which will then become the standard design for new trams.\nThe five shortlisted entries will each receive a copy of a book, “150 Years of Public Transport in Brno”, and the winner will also win a one-year Brno travel ticket, the iconic šalinakarta.\nFor more details on “Tramvaj pro Brno”, the conditions, and how to enter, visit their website projekt150.cz. |

PBR is teaming up withNew Holland Artisan Spiritsto launch a new whiskey.\nNot much info is out there about the release yet, but we know the brands received federal label approval last month, so things are a go. The label, which was submitted to the Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau late last year, gives away a bit more information because it includes the phrase: “aged 5 seconds.” And that leaves some guessing this could be a white whiskey. |

Yachts come in various different designs and styles. Throughout the past few years, I’ve repaired and inspected a huge range of different yachts. Some of these yachts were quite cheap, while others cost millions upon millions of dollars. One common question that I often encounter is the question of whether yachts can cross the ocean. The short answer to this question is – yes. However, there are a lot more details that can be looked into regarding why this is the case. Here’s what you should know about yachts crossing oceans.\nYachts have always been built to cross oceans. They are a primarily saltwater vessel that has been used throughout history for a variety of different uses. Those that are acquainted with maritime history know that yachts have been used for everything from battles to fishing to exploration. Indeed, these vessels are immensely diverse and are available to be used for a wide range of different things. However, the one trait that yachts have in common with one another is the fact that they are used for crossing the ocean.\nThe defining factor about how much ocean a yacht can cover is highly dependent on its design. Many people, I’m sure, have heard about the large-scale yacht races that occur around the world. Hence, when it comes to yachts that are used for such events, they are usually very large and immensely well built to ensure that they can withstand the toughest weather conditions. This is in stark contrast to some of the cheaper yachts that have recently entered the market. These cheaper yachts often wouldn’t be able to withstand a fraction of what these large-scale professional yachts are able to.\nAt the end of the day, it all comes down to the design and the quality of materials that are used for yachts which dictate how well and how long they can cross oceans. As mentioned, the cheapest yachts that are available are often made to fit simple designs and are created using cheap and low-quality materials. Because of this, they are usually only suited for days where the weather is quite calm. Furthermore, they can often only be used for a set amount of hours at a time before they need to be repaired or maintained.\nOn the other hand, the most expensive yachts that are used for professional races often are made from some of the best materials available. Furthermore, the designs that are implemented in these yachts are created by highly qualified engineers that are looking to maximize the speed of the yacht. What this ultimately means is that the yacht not only can travel across oceans much quicker than cheaper variations, but it can also withstand the toughest weather conditions.\nThus, the question of whether yachts can cross oceans is quite simple. However, the question of how long and how quickly these yachts can cross oceans leads to a much more complex answer. There is a huge variety of yachts that are currently available, and each one will be better at crossing an ocean than another.\nIf it’s maybe too much for you and you rather prefer to cross kilometers with your car, we recommended you to go and check some of the best car shipping blogs.\nMany insurance companies provide plenty of coverage options for yachts and boats. When you are looking for specialist cover finding the right policy at an affordable price can be a daunting task. Besides, caring for yachts is much more harder than an ordinary boat. When it comes to yacht insurance it is all about protecting your investment. The fact that you own a yacht means that affordability is not an issue. Since you have spent a considerable amount of money you need to make sure to choose a yacht insurance policy wisely. To begin with, determine the extent of coverage you need. This should be similar to the cost of the yacht if your vessel is destroyed due to various reasons. Among the major risks is collision leading to an explosion, theft, and the possibility of sinking.\nIn the past it was pretty time consuming to build your own dock but today the times have changed and more people are getting ready to enjoy their boat docks Alberta without seeking professional help for installation and maintenance. That is why people are ordering floating docks BC that are fast to install and need zero maintenance.\nThey are made of high quality materials, are durable and suitable for different weather conditions so it is important to make sure you are on the right side of things. With the help of fishing piers BC you can make sure you are looking at the right options for you and don’t waste money. So make sure you are doing it right and have fun with the best options you can ever dream of. |
In times of increased globalization and ’europeanization’ scholars put considerable effort into understanding the consequences of immigration for the welfare state. We argue that groups within a society react quite differently to increasing immigration. Citizens with high income are especially likely to withdraw their support for redistribution because they want to prevent higher redistribution to the “out group” of new immigrants. Other parts of the society ask for stronger compensation due to the increased (labour market) risks of immigration. Based on a new survey experiment in three countries, we show that both income as well as labour competition moderate the overall negative effect of increasing migration. While respondents with high income withdraw their support, respondents who face strong labour competition increase their support.\nThe effect of immigration on support for redistribution re-examined: survey experiments in three European countries was published on September 10, 2014 . |

Welcome to GoCompare's wee guide to RBS loans!\nIt’s been a rollercoaster ride for RBS over the past two decades. Royal Bank of Scotland became the biggest company by assets in the world. Then it all fell apart and the government stepped in to save it in 2008. Remember Fred ‘The Shred’ Goodwin? He was the CEO.\nNow RBS is rebuilding. But what does this mean for borrowers, and what do you need to know about RBS loans?\nRBS loan eligibility - can I apply for one?\nGot a Royal Bank of Scotland current account? If you said och aye, then you can apply for a RBS loan. If you haven’t, or you’ve been a customer for less than three months, then you’re gonna have to go compare. This was the case in March 2018.\nWhat kind of loans are RBS loans?\nRBS loans are personal loans. Sometimes called unsecured loans, you don’t have to put your home, car or other assets up as collateral. Yet just because you’re home isn’t on the line straight away it doesn’t mean you should get a loan willy-nilly.\nRBS may divvy up its personals loans into different categories. Expect things like car loans, home improvement loans, debt consolidation loans, even holiday loans.\nCan I afford the repayments on this loan each month?\nWhat are the fees, charges and interest of the loan?\nDo I really need this loan?\nIf you’re satisfied with the answer then compare what loans are out there. But if you're struggling with debt you may want to explore other options. Think about speaking with the people that you owe money to. They won't want you defaulting on your debt after all. It's important to not ignore the situation if you can't afford your repayments.\nRBS has a loan calculator. It can give you a monthly repayments figure, the APR you’ll be charged and the estimated total you’ll have to pay back.\nThe RBS loan calculator works on a sliding scale, as the APR will change depending on the amount you want to borrow. The length of time you want the loan for will also affect how much you’ll pay back.\nAre RBS loans any good?\nRoyal Bank of Scotland’s personal loans get five stars from Defaqto in 2018. Fairer Finance ranks personal loans from RBS as 24th out of the 25 lenders it looked at in spring 2018.\nAlso RBS came 15th out of 16 banks at the 2018 British Bank Awards. It scored 77.8% for customer satisfaction.\nAt the time of writing, APRs are tumbling as lenders look to attract new customers. However, you should be prudent before taking out any loan, not just a RBS loan.\nReview your credit score before you apply. Lenders will take it as warning sign if you apply for lots of loans. Doubly so if they're rejected loan applications. So what can you do?\nA personal loan isn't the right choice for everybody. Explore your options and be sure you can afford any repayments before applying. |
When I first started going to the gym, I tried to get there early in the morning so I could awkwardly fumble with the weight machines before a line of people waiting to use them formed behind me. According to a new study, I’m not the only one who’s experienced the intimidation that can come from working out at the gym.\nThe study, a joint effort between OnePoll and the protein powder company IsoPure, surveyed 2,000 Americans about their fitness habits and found 50 percent have faced gymtimidation, reports the New York Post. Gymtimidation takes on many forms—not knowing how to use the equipment, feeling overwhelmed by all the different types of workouts and classes available, not wanting to work out among fit individuals—and every one is reasonable.\nFor anyone too shy to bust a move in a high-intensity dance class, meet The Fitness Marshall. You don’t have to get the moves right, which makes it hard not to have fun. And that’s exactly the message put forth. The backup dancers aren’t professionals either. His squad also includes his boyfriend/manager, Cameron, who makes plenty of appearances.\nCassey Ho of Blogilates has been making free workout videos for years, allowing people to get comfortable with the exercises at home before entering a group setting. With her positive attitude, upbeat background music, and thoroughly-explained exercises, there’s no room for intimidation.\nWhen you’re doing HIIT at the gym or in a class, you might feel like you can never take a break without getting some looks. But at home, you can pause the video as many times as you need to, no questions asked. This workout from Katie Austin is meant for beginners with moves that are easy on the body.\nThis workout from MadFit—which is done in 30-second intervals over a 10 minute period—literally works your entire body without a single piece of equipment. Even if you’re not a pro at some of the movements, the goal is to keep doing your best until the next exercise begins.\nBeing filled with a room of yogis who are already doing headstands can make you want to run out and hide. This yoga workout from Yoga With Adriene takes you through the poses nice and slow, making sure you’re learning the proper technique that will carry you for years to come.\nJelisa Smith wants people to know they can work out from anywhere—even if that’s using something as simple as a chair in your home. After doing a round of everything from lunges to pushups, you’ll be exhausted in the best way.\nThere are other ways you can skip the gym, too. Invest in at-home fitness technology like Mirror or Peloton, or grab a monthly streaming subscription on the cheap. These options are all less than $40/month. |
President Donald Trump's dramatic purge of top Homeland Security officials left departing Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen surrounded by outgoing aides and 'acting' officials at a ribbon cutting ceremony for a building where she won't get to work.\nNielsen, whose last day was Wednesday as part of a hastily announced 'orderly transition,' showed up for the event – as did several who are already on the way out.\nAmong them is Secret Service head of Randolph 'Tex' Alles, who was sacked after Nielsen was forced to resign Sunday, in a move that the White House says did not have to do with the agency's statement blaming club staff for the security breach at the president's Mar-a-Lago club.\nThe event was attended by officials serving in an 'acting' capacity due to the purge, which accompanied the president's call for a 'tougher' immigration policy after more than 100,000 illegal immigrants made it past the border in March despite Trump's call for a crackdown.\nAlthough Nielsen has been publicly identified with the administration's child-separation policy, President Trump has fumed in recent weeks about the continued influx of illegal immigrants, and threatened to close the southern border before backing off.\nNielsen returned home early from a conference in Europe after leaving the country amid what the president has branded an immigration crisis, reprogramming appropriated funds and bringing in the military to replace sections of border barrier.\nU.S. Customs and Border Protection Kevin McAleenan, who Trump designated as the acting head of DHS, was there.\nAnother attendee was Ron Vietiello, who Trump had nominated to serve as head of ICE before abruptly pulling the nomination – stunning aides on Capitol Hill and at the White House.\nAnother ousted official, Claire Grady, was also there. Grady served as acting deputy of Homeland Security – a post that it was revealed prevented McAleenan from moving up to the 'acting' role as Trump wanted. Nielsen announced Grady's departure Tuesday night.\nTransportation Security Administration Administrator David Pekoske is expected to be named to the acting deputy slot.\nWhen Nielsen spoke, she said she wasn't sure that she would still lead the agency when it opened. She squeaked by, although she didn't get to occupy the historic 19th century office for the secretary at the former St. Elizabeth's medical facility, the first federal psychiatric hospital.\n'There's only one person that's running it. Do you know who that is? It's me,' Trump said in response to a question from DailyMail.com before he left the White House for a trip to Texas.\nThe president was also asked if he'd considering appointing his hardline adviser Stephen Miller to the job as Miller directs immigration policy in the White House and has been behind the push for Trump's 'tougher' border stance.\nTrump didn't answer yes or no but praised Miller, who has come under attack from some as a 'white nationalist' for his isolationist stance.\n'Steven is an excellent guy. He's a wonderful person. People don't know him. He has been with me from the beginning. He is a brilliant man,' the president said.\nTrump also defended Miller on Tuesday via Twitter. He accused Rep. Ilhan Omar of targeting Jewish people after she called Miller a white nationalist via her twitter account.\nMiller encouraged Trump to retracted his nomination of Ron Vitiello to lead U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in an effort to take a tougher line on border security.\nThe 33-year-old Miller is known as a sharp-tongued promoter of hawkish immigration policies and believed to be pushing Trump to the right on the issue.\nThe White House is considering nominating Julie Kirchner, the former head of an anti-immigration group, to lead ICE, Politico reported, citing White House sources.\nKirchner is the former executive director of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which pushes for lower levels of immigration.\nThe president also denied on Tuesday that he is 'cleaning house' at the Department of Homeland Security in the wake of Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen's departure and claimed he would not separate migrant children from their parents at the border.\n'I never said I'm cleaning house. I don't know who came up with that,' Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.\nHis Homeland Security Department was in turmoil following the dismissal of Nielsen and Secret Service Director Randolph 'Tex' Alles.\nAdditionally, on Tuesday evening, Nielsen announced the departure of Claire Grady, the Number Two at the department.\nGrady's departure paves the way for Kevin McAleenan to lead DHS in an acting capacity. Trump announced he was naming McAleenan to the acting secretary job on the same day he announced Nielsen's departure.\nBut there were legal complications as federal law indicated Grady, the acting deputy secretary, should rise to the top spot ahead of McAleenan, who is commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.\nGrady's resignation ends the legal obstacles. Nielsen's last day at the department is Wednesday, which is also Grady's last day.\n'Acting Deputy Secretary Claire Grady has offered the President her resignation, effective tomorrow. For the last two years, Claire has served @DHSGov w excellence and distinction. She has been an invaluable asset to DHS – a steady force and a knowledgeable voice,' Nielsen wrote on Twitter.\nTwo other senior DHS officials were hanging on to their jobs by a thread on Tuesday afternoon.\nHe also denied reports that he's bringing back his heavily-criticized 'zero tolerance' policy that saw more than 2,700 children separated from their families who illegally crossed the border.\nHe is looking to crackdown on 'meritless' asylum claims, though, a senior administration official revealed on Tuesday.\nMore chaos could be in store for the department.\nA senior administration official on Tuesday inferred that Lee Cissna, the head of USCIS, and John Mitnick, general counsel at DHS, should repent or pack up their offices.\nIt wasn't clear whether Claire Grady, the acting deputy DHS secretary was, also in danger of being fired. She should technically become the acting head of DHS when Nielsen leaves for good this Wednesday, but Trump seems determined to buck the law and put Kevin McAleenan, commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, in charge, instead.\nRemoving her would make way for Trump's desired overhaul, suggesting that at least one more high-profile departure within DHS was on its way.\nThe official said that 'DHS wasn't working' and that while it 'obviously has a law enforcement mission, it also has a law enforcement bureaucracy' of civil servants who were promoted before Trump's election.\nThe president on Tuesday also vowed to get tougher on border security several rooms down.\nHe continued to rail against the record number of illegal immigrants crossing the border.\n'You have people coming in claiming asylum. They're all reading exactly what the lawyer gives them. They have a piece of paper. Read what that is and all of a sudden you're entitled to asylum. And some of these people are not people you want in our country. So we are building a lot of wall, it's getting built,' Trump said during the photo op.\nHe also reiterated his threat to close the border between the U.S. and Mexico — a proposal that economists said would cause havoc on the U.S. economy.\n'We have to close up the borders. We're doing it, but I could do it much faster if they would act,' Trump complained.\nTrump also brushed aside reports he wanted to restart his controversial 'zero tolerance' policy that led to family separations at the border. He cast the blame on his predecessor, President Barack Obama, and reminded that that it was the Democrat's administration that put children in cages.\n'Obama separated the children, by the way. Just so you understand, President Obama separated the children,' he said.\nHe referred to photos of migrant children in cages that made the rounds of social media during his separation of families, but were found to be from 2014, when Obama was president.\n'Those cages that were shown, I think they were very inappropriate. They were built by President Obama's administration, not by Trump. President Obama had child separation. Take a look, the press knows it, you know it, we all know it,' he noted.\nHe claimed he was the one that stopped the policy that politicians across the spectrum condemned.\nThe sitting president's 'zero tolerance' policy came from a directive to prosecute anyone caught crossing the border illegally, even those with families seeking asylum on humanitarian grounds.\nHe stopped the policy in June after a series of bipartisan outrage that included condemnation of it from his wife and daughter.\nThe official who spoke to reporters explained that Trump is seeking changes to a settlement agreement that requires immigrant children to be released from custody after 20 days.\nTrump wants DHS to issue a new regulation that the administration could use as a 'vehicle for reconsideration' of what's known as the Flores Agreement, the person said.\nSpeculation has begun about who could replace Nielsen atop the department.\nFormer Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has been floated for Department of Homeland Security secretary. He took to Fox News Monday night to push for a series of hardline measures to cut down the number of immigrants crossing the border.\nHe claimed, 'There has been deliberate for dragging, and I think that's what you're seeing the White House take the necessary steps to clean house at DHS and put people and hopefully who will quickly execute what the president orders.\nKobach's interview with Tucker Carlson could be seen as his audition for the job, which he was up a candidate during Trump's 2016-2017 transition. The position ultimately went to John Kelly and then Kirstjen Nielsen, after Kelly became White House chief of staff.\nHis restrictionist positions could also make him difficult to confirm in the Senate but they align with the tougher stance advocated by Miller.\nKobach, in his Fox News appearance Monday night, pushed a full-steam-ahead plan of the type that makes moderate Republicans nervous.\nHe said he would prevent illegal immigrants from sending money back home until Mexico agrees to accept Central American asylum-seekers.\n'I would do is publish a regulation that tells Mexico in so many words, no, your illegal aliens in the United States can not send remittances home anymore, you can't wire things through Western Union. You could do that with a Treasury regulation,' he said on Fox News Monday night.\nHe said he'd tell Mexico the regulation would become final unless the country signs a 'Safe Third Country' agreement like the United States has with Canada.\nThat agreement requires people seeking refugee status first make their claim in the first country they arrive in, either the United States or Canada, unless they qualify for an exception.\n'They can't walk all the way through Mexico and then say, 'Oh, we're applying for asylum in the United States,' ' Kobach said.\nNearly one thousand people gathered in the Honduran town of San Pedro Sula on Tuesday evening to form a new caravan bound for the US border.\nThe hopeful migrants first mobilized on social media, their number taking authorities by surprise as previous online appeals have failed to garner a significant response.\n‘There are more than 800, almost a thousand,’ a police official told AFP.\nAmong the bustling crowd were a number of families with young children seeking to escape the rising violent crime and unemployment levels currently blighting the Central American country.\nMany of the migrants set-off on their 1,600 mile journey to the border on Tuesday evening in a swell of overcrowded minibuses. Others huddled together and slept in the streets as they awaited more shuttles.\n‘We are done with this government, there is no work,’ said 27-year-old Alexis Perez ahead of the voyage.\nMore of the congregation left on Wednesday morning and were pictured walking on foot and cramming into the back of pick-up trucks as they departed from the Metropolitan Center towards the Guatemalan border.\nThree similar convoys of migrants have departed Honduras for the US in the past six months, all searching for work and a life away from drug-traffickers. One caravan boasted more than 2,000 people.\nBut the asylum-seekers have sparked controversy in the US, where they are regularly invoked by President Trump, who has repeatedly called for the building of a wall across the US-Mexican border to prevent illegal immigration.\nSeveral thousand Central Americans have trekked across Mexico in caravans since last October, fleeing poverty and violence in their home countries.\nThey travel together in the hope of finding safety in numbers against Mexican gangs that regularly extort, kidnap and kill the migrants, often in collusion with local authorities. |

The wisdom of investment in fossil fuels is being questioned for financial as well as environmental reasons. Many investors and environmental advocates recognize that energy companies may be vulnerable if legislation is enacted to reduce carbon emissions enough to contain rising global temperatures. We have seen recent attempts to quantify this vulnerability. In one high-profile example, the International Energy Agency (IEA)—an autonomous organization with ties to the OECD—has suggested that if we are to keep global temperatures within 2°C of the pre-industrialization level, we cannot burn more than one-third of proved reserves before 2050. (Proved reserves are stores of coal, oil, and gas that are known to be in the ground and that could be economically extracted at today’s prices.) If this analysis is correct, energy companies will face a headwind as demand for fossil fuels declines. This shift in demand can occur either directly, through government regulations that set limits on carbon emissions, or indirectly, through carbon taxes that raise the cost of fossil fuels and discourage their use.\nThis argument can make energy stocks look like a poor investment. But while such a shifting landscape would present great challenges for the industry, not every energy company would be affected in the same way or to the same degree. Even in a scenario in which fossil fuel consumption is limited in order to minimize environmental impact, investors may find opportunities in energy companies less vulnerable to such regulation. In order to do this, we must evaluate how and when regulations may be adopted, and which types of fossil fuels would be most affected.\nAny significant regulation of carbon is likely to reduce total demand for fossil fuels. That will in turn lower the aggregate volume that can be sold and the revenue energy companies will receive. More carbon-intensive and more costly sources of energy will be particularly disadvantaged. To generate an equal amount of energy, coal emits 68 percent more CO2 than natural gas during combustion, and 42 percent more CO2 than oil. Although coal is relatively cheap to extract from the ground, this disadvantage will increasingly limit its use in a carbon-constrained world. Similarly, oil derived from bitumen (oil sands) is more carbon intensive and more costly to produce than many other sources, and investments in bitumen reserves would fare worse under broad carbon legislation. Conversely, natural gas investments may come out relatively unscathed; with a lower carbon footprint than other fossil fuels, and lower cost than most major sources of energy, natural gas could ease a transition to a low-carbon world as long as fugitive methane emissions and other production impacts are minimized. In the IEA’s energy scenario that keeps global temperatures within acceptable limits, demand for natural gas will continue to rise over the next two decades as its use displaces coal and oil—a good outcome for companies investing in gas resources.\nThe path and pace of increasing government regulation of carbon will have an impact on the fortunes of energy companies and investors. Legislation that is introduced gradually, with clear communication from regulators on how laws will be designed and regulations phased in over several years, will be the most benign for energy companies, investors, and consumers. It would allow energy companies adequate time to adjust their investments and capital expenditures toward projects that would be more profitable in a lower carbon world, and away from costlier, more carbon-intensive projects. If a company has no practical path to suitable projects once the regulatory environment becomes known, this long lead time would also give investors the opportunity to demand that cash be distributed to shareholders rather than re-invested in dubious projects. If, instead, regulation is only put in place when the situation becomes calamitous, larger shockwaves will hit energy companies as previously profitable projects are quickly abandoned and demand for fossil fuels fluctuates rapidly; it is in the interest of companies and investors to avoid such a scenario.\nEnergy investment has long been fraught with uncertainty. Technological change, supply shocks, and shifting global economic growth patterns are but a few of the factors that cause energy companies to continually adapt how they conduct business. This trend will surely continue over the next few decades as we will almost certainly see new limits on carbon emissions. Despite the challenges that the energy industry will face as a result, companies that position their investment in areas ready to meet these challenges can remain a sound investment within a diversified portfolio. |

Whether you’re wondering what specific charges mean, or are unsure when you will be charged for your dumpster, we’re here to simplify the process and walk you through reading a commercial dumpster bill.\nTake a look at the sample invoice below to fully understand how billing works for permanent dumpster rentals. If you still have questions, call our customer service team who will be more than happy to answer your questions.\nTrue to our promise of offering a simple and straightforward waste removal service, invoices for commercial dumpster services are clear and easy to read. Here are the main sections to look at on your dumpster bill.\nThis identifies if you are being billed for a permanent or temporary dumpster rental.\nThis will indicate if your invoice is paid in full, or if you have a balance due. Any open charges will be listed at the bottom of the bill under “Payments and Balance”.\nThis is the day of the week that your dumpster will be serviced. Depending on your business’s location, you may be able to choose the day of the week.\nThe invoice date is the day when you are invoiced, and the delivery date is the scheduled day for your dumpster to be delivered. It’s important to note that the delivery date is when your credit card payment will be processed each month for the ongoing dumpster service.\nThis includes contact information, in addition to the billing and delivery address. Please double check each invoice to make sure that the correct information is provided, if for any reason the information is incorrect, contact a customer service representative to update it.\nThis area will detail how often your dumpster will be emptied, either weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, and the dumpster size.\nIf you held an event and needed to schedule a pickup outside of the normal waste removal schedule, you will see a line item added to your monthly bill to reflect the charge.\nThe door on the dumpster needs to be closed when it is picked up. Overfilling the dumpster can lead to an additional cost which will be reflected on your front load dumpster bill.\nIf any prohibited waste is found during the processing of debris, additional costs will be added to your bill.\nThere will be a trip fee added to your dumpster bill if the placement location is inaccessible the day of the scheduled delivery. |
This is where announcements of new releases, features, and other news is posted. git-annex users are recommended to subscribe to this page's RSS feed. Also, see security for security announcements.\nDirectory special remote supports being configured with importree=yes, to allow git-annex import of files from the directory. This can be combined with exporttree=yes and git-annex export used to send changes back to the same directory.\nRemote tracking branches are updated when importing and exporting to special remotes, in ways analagous to how git fetch and git push do.\nexport: Deprecated the --tracking option. Instead, users can configure remote.<name>.annex-tracking-branch themselves.\nsync --content: When remote.<name>.annex-tracking-branch is configured, import from special remotes.\nsync, assistant: --no-push and remote.<name>.annex-push prevent exporting trees to special remotes.\nSped up git-annex export in repositories with lots of keys.\nS3: Support enabling bucket versioning when built with aws-0.21.1.\nFix cleanup of git-annex:export.log after git-annex forget --drop-dead.\nMakefile: Added install-home target which installs git-annex into the HOME directory.\naddurl --file: Fix a bug that made youtube-dl be used unneccessarily when adding an html url that does not contain any media.\nfsck: Detect situations where annex.thin has caused data loss to the content of locked files.\nRemoved bundled gpg from the Linux standalone build and OSX dmg, because gpg now always wants to use gpg-agent, and shipping such a daemon in those is not a good idea.\nimport: Let --force overwrite symlinks, not only regular files.\nAndroid: Fix typo of name of armv7l in installation script. Thanks, 4omecha.\nS3: Added protocol= initremote setting, to allow https to be used on a non-standard port.\ninit: Fix bug when direct mode needs to be enabled on a crippled filesystem, that left the repository in indirect mode.\nFix false positive in export conflict detection, that occurred when the same tree was exported by multiple clones. Previous fix was incomplete.\nWhen key-based retrieval from a S3 remote with exporttree=yes appendonly=yes fails, fall back to trying to retrieve from the exported tree. This allows downloads of files that were exported to such a remote before versioning was enabled on it.\nFix path separator bug on Windows that completely broke git-annex since version 7.20190122.\nImproved speed of S3 remote by only loading S3 creds once.\nDisplay progress bar when getting files from export remotes.\nFix race in cleanup of othertmp directory that could result in a failure attempting to access it.\nfromkey --batch output changed to support using it with --json. The old output was not parseable for any useful information, so this is not expected to break anything.\nAvoid performing repository fixups for submodules and git-worktrees when there's a .noannex file that will prevent git-annex from being used in the repository.\ninit: Don't let --force be used to override a .noannex file, instead the user can just delete the file.\nwebdav: Exporting files with '#' or '?' in their name won't work because urls get truncated on those. Fail in a better way in this case, and avoid failing when removing such files from the export, so after the user has renamed the problem files the export will succeed.\nOn Windows, avoid using rsync for local copies, since rsync is not always available there.\nAdded NetworkBSD build flag to deal with Network.BSD moving to a new package.\ninitremote S3: When configured with versioning=yes, either ask the user to enable bucket versioning, or auto-enable it when built with aws-0.22.\nenableremote S3: Do not let versioning=yes be set on existing remote, because when git-annex lacks S3 version IDs for files stored in the bucket, deleting them would cause data loss.\nS3: Detect when version=yes but an exported file lacks a S3 version ID, and refuse to delete it, to avoid data loss.\nsync --content: Fix dropping unwanted content from the local repository.\nsync --content: Support dropping local content that has reached an exporttree remote that is not untrusted (currently only S3 remotes with versioning).\nSome optimisations, including a 10x faster timestamp parser, a 7x faster key parser, and improved parsing and serialization of git-annex branch data. Many commands will run 5-15% faster.\nStricter parser for keys doesn't allow doubled fields or out of order fields.\nThe benchmark command, which only had some old benchmarking of the sqlite databases before, now allows benchmarking any other git-annex commands.\nSupport being built with ghc 8.6.3 (MonadFail).\nRemoved old code that cleaned up after a bug in git-annex versions 3.20111105-3.20111110. In the unlikely event that a repo was last touched by that ancient git-annex version, the descriptions of remotes would appear missing when used with this version of git-annex.\nImprove uuid.log parser to preserve whitespace in repo descriptions.\nImprove activity.log parser to not remove unknown values, allowing for future expansion.\naddunused, merge, assistant: Avoid creating work tree files in subdirectories in an edge case where the key contains "/".\ntestremote: Support testing readonly remotes with the --test-readonly option.\nSwitch to using .git/annex/othertmp for tmp files other than partial downloads, and make stale files left in that directory when git-annex is interrupted be cleaned up promptly by subsequent git-annex processes.\nThe .git/annex/misctmp directory is no longer used and git-annex will delete anything lingering in there after it's 1 week old.\nEstimated time to completion display shortened from eg "1h1m1s" to "1h1m".\nFix doubled progress display when downloading an url when -J is used.\nunused: Update suggested git log message to see where data was previously used so it will also work with v7 unlocked pointer files.\nimportfeed: Better error message when downloading the feed fails.\nMake test suite work better when the temp directory is on NFS.\nwebapp: Remove configurator for box.com repository, since their webdav support is going away at the end of this January.\nwebapp: Remove configurator for gitlab, which stopped supporting git-annex some time ago.\nAndroid: For armv71 architecture, use the armel build.\nS3: Improve diagnostics when a remote is configured with exporttree and versioning, but no S3 version id has been recorded for a key.\nCommands supporting --branch now apply file matching options --include, --exclude, --want-get, --want-drop to filenames from the branch. Previously, combining --branch with those would fail to match anything.\nadd, import, findref: Support --time-limit.\nAdd --branch option to git-annex find and mildly deprecate findref in favor of it.\nFix a case where upgrade to v7 caused git to think that unlocked files were modified.\nFix bug upgrading from direct mode to v7: when files in the repository were already committed as v7 unlocked files elsewhere, and the content was present in the direct mode repository, the annexed files got their full content checked into git.\nFix bug that caused v7 unlocked files in a direct mode repository to get locked when committing.\nSimilar to the yearly git user survey, there is a 2018 git-annex user survey.\nIf you use git-annex, please take a few minutes to answer the questions!\nSince git-annex is seeing increasing use to manage scientific data, the survey also includes some extra questions about that at the end.\ngit-annex 6.20180626 is an important security fix release.\nSee the advisory for details about the security holes fixed in this release.\nAfter upgrading git-annex, you should restart any git-annex assistant processes.\nA security fix has changed git-annex to refuse to download content from some special remotes when the content cannot be verified with a hash check. In particular URL and WORM keys stored on such remotes won't be downloaded. See the documentation of the annex.security.allow-unverified-downloads configuration for how to deal with this if it affects your files.\nA security fix has changed git-annex to only support http, https, and ftp URL schemes by default. You can enable other URL schemes, at your own risk, using annex.security.allowed-url-schemes.\nA related security fix prevents git-annex from connecting to http servers (and proxies) on localhost or private networks. This can be overridden, at your own risk, using annex.security.allowed-http-addresses.\nSetting annex.web-options no longer is enough to make curl be used, and youtube-dl is also no longer used by default. See the documentation of annex.security.allowed-http-addresses for details and how to enable them.\nThe annex.web-download-command configuration has been removed, use annex.web-options instead.\nSimilar to the yearly git user survey, there is a 2015 git-annex user survey.\nSimilar to the yearly git user survey, I am doing a 2013 git-annex user survey.\nIf you use git-annex, please take a few minutes to answer my questions!\nThanks to my recent successful git-annex crowdfunding campaign, $1000 has been set aside to award others for their contributions to git-annex by the end of 2013.

On the hottest day this summer, my gal and I finally wedded after flirting with the idea for some years. You can probably still hear our families sighing with relief, or maybe heat exhaustion. Instead of drinking mead for the requisite 28 days, as a “honeymoon” would have it but our livers wouldn’t, we opted to hop over the Atlantic to–where else—Krakow, Poland’s unscathed medieval city, honeymoon capital of the old world, at least for a few of us.\nLeaving that hottest day behind, we particularly wanted to cool our heels in the ancient salt mines of Wieliczka, just beyond Krakow’s city limits. Despite appearances, honeymooning in a working mine wasn’t meant as a cynical metaphor for nuptial bliss. We did, however, find another metaphor and a hard reality in its rocky chambers, one which tells much of the depths to which capital-G globalism will descend. Here we found yet another culture’s history exchanged for a listing in the world’s bizarre repertoire of jet-set theme parks. This one happens to have gone underground, quite literally, with some shadowy effects.\nIronicly enough, on June 7th, the day after we cut the wedding cupcake and declared our mutual enhancement, thousands of Poles went to the aptly-named polls to declare their own mutual enhancement with the EU, voting 72% in favour of joining the Polish economy with the European union, ringing in a new life of global market capitalism and, hopefully, ringing those Polish cash registers with more frequency than to date. What with an astonishing 245,000 soapy Avon representatives on the economy’s makeover front lines, and with a symbolic 200 troops slipped into George W. Bush’s oily war pocket, like a crisp fiver to the valet, Poland is ready for some western-style change to come around, with all globalization’s peculiar offspring in tow. And why wouldn’t they? When your country’s GDP is less than Wal-Mart’s annual revenue, something’s got to give, or give up. So, marriages for everyone, we discovered, strolling the streets of New Poland. It’s a small world after all, and getting smaller, unfortunately, as the uniting markets get bigger.\nNow, although Poland’s nuptials with the EU won’t be realized officially until next year, the signs of an ongoing flirtation with the wilder west abound. The first wave of globalization’s effects have swept in and, like water, sought the lowest level to settle at. Tourism is on the rise, and what better way to attract that than with the west’s best tourist bet—strange kitsch. Consider Wieliczka’s salt mines. They’re filling with it, and fast.\nThe first thing to understand is that the salt mines are, indeed, a marvel of labour history, artisan craft and geology. This is why the mine was added to UNESCO’s list of world heritage sites in 1978, and declared an endangered site in the 1980’s when humidity levels threatened the 300 kilometers of underground passageways and chambers. Tourism introduced its short-sighted method of alerting global attention to the mine, and injected some regular cash to preserve what the salt itself could not. Travelers like us are invited to enter by descending the mine’s spiraling staircase to a depth of 64 metres below ground level. There, the tour begins a two kilometer hoof through a mere handful of the mine’s more than 2000 eerie chambers. When you huff and puff your way to the final depths, you have most definitely seen more than the swampy green rock salt you bargained for, and perhaps invested in its perversion as much as its preservation.\nThe miner’s of Wieliczka both imprinted themselves into the salt they mined and drew their god and culture through its stone. Because they spent much of their lives underground, the Catholic workers brought their churches and iconography down with them. Statues of saints carved from salt line many of the chambers and their connecting passageways. Nested among the dripping stalactites overhead, ornately carved likenesses of stately chandeliers dangle. All of it salt. There’s even a natural underground lake of green brine so saturated with the stuff the lake water can’t dissolve its equally salty bedrock.\nBut perhaps the most awesome sight is in the subterranean cathedral left by three brothers who excavated the necessary 20 tons of rock more than two hundred years ago. This cathedral is complete with altar, staircases, chandeliers and statuary, an entire polished chapel of salt for the miners to worship within. A common sight, however, were the boozy frat boys in our tour group who confirmed the cathedral’s savoriness by licking a few saints here and there for good measure, or out of hungover desperation.\nStill, beyond the mine’s awesome labour and design is a palpable sense of romance and history. One early danger of mining was the collection of lethal methane gas in the shafts and hollows. Some miners crawled from chamber to chamber on their bellies, each extending a raised torch to the ceiling, their job being to burn off any gathering gas with a violent flash. No, these are not undiscovered scenes from a Michael Ondaatje novel, but they do share something of that labour lyricism.\nYet more literal to the romantic quality of the mine is its founding mythology. Poland’s Saint Kinga, legend has it, dropped her wedding band down a mining shaft in Hungary, only to break ground years later in Wieliczka to establish Krakow’s economy, plucking her wedding band from the first scoop of brine that had traveled the Baltic distances. So, again, marriages abound here, and the promises of a prosperous future are hopefully drawn from below. Or so it would seem.\nMore than salt is rendered from the mine these days. In fact, the only salt mined now is from the groundwater pumped to keep the mine from flooding, as it still tends to do, even as recently as the early 1990’s. Little money is made from the 60 tons of salt produced annually. That is simply a byproduct of the mine’s real financial value in remaining a functional tourist attraction. Well, maybe dysfunctional is a better term for it. As if the mine itself is not enough to dazzle descenders, its marketeers have tarted-up the show to satiate more Disneyfied tastes. Compare its natural and historical highlights with a glimpse at what Wieliczka’s makeover has slathered on for a brighter look. It’s enough to make Avon quiver.\nAmong the statues of saints and ancient royalty, for example, contemporary sculptors were commissioned to add seven peculiarly familiar dwarves, and one familiar Polish pope. Then, for the trippier crowd, another chamber now features a multi-media laser show on its walls and ceiling, including audio-visual projections of a less-than-spooky resident ghost. This, of course, renders the mine more a Radio Shack funhouse than an endangered historical site.\nThe cathedral, too, has some new iconography and lost souls. One week before our own visit, Richie Blackmore, creator of rock’s holy trinity of guitar licks—yes, the opening riff for Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water”—held a concert in the mine’s underground chapel to promote its marketable acoustics and his own whereabouts. Did I mention subterranean bungy jumping? They’ve tried that, too.\nBut the most salient image of what has happened in the name of tourist creature comforts and theme park musts is present in Wieliczka’s final chamber. There, in fully-lit glory is a mini-mall of gift shops bursting with rock salt lamps and, of course, a food court, 134 meters below daylight. Employees take the iron mining elevator down each morning to flip perogies and sell Doritos. There are perhaps as many service workers employed here, in the shops and guiding tourists, as there are actual miners beyond the public passageways.\nThis should not be taken as just another story of cultural authenticity lost. It’s lessons are more specific than that. There are many equally irksome accounts of historically rich bathtubs being peed in for profits. What is vital here, and visible to the eye, is the actual process of that common global exchange, giving over one’s own salt for tourist dollars, along with the exchange of miners for customer service reps—of mines for malls. And that bizarre future was always there, oddly enough, in the memories of the word “salt” itself.\nThe swampy brine from which salt is extracted runs green underground, but so does tourism’s greenbacks, if you can extract it as well. Salt is what workers were once paid for their labour, which is where the term “salary” comes from. In Polish, too, a phrase for something “expensive” roughly translates as “salty Prices”. So tourism, it seems, has its own big-ticket price, in this respect, because the salt and the mine aren’t enough any more, nor are either’s natural and historical dignity. What’s really going on down below is a true currency exchange, and a cultural one for McWorld’s strange tastes in getaway kicks.\nIf all this leaves you a little claustrophobic, as mines tend to do, and you feel yourself a little short of breath, even a little panic-stricken, don’t worry. You can always visit Wieliczka. On the mine’s fifth level is an air-locked sanatorium for vacationing folks with extreme environmental sensitivities. Look out Club Med all-inclusives coming soon, because the honeymoon is over. Now the question is where places like Wieliczka go when they become allergic to their so-called preservation. |

The working group "eHumanities" is an interacademic initiative of the eight member academies of the Union. Moreover, the Leopoldina - National Academy of Sciences is represented by a delegate. The working group "eHumanities" thus belongs to the Union of the German Academies of Sciences and Humanities.\nOn January 29th, 2016, a constitutive meeting took place in Mainz, where the two former working groups "electronic publishing" and "digital research" were merged into the new working group "eHumanities".\nThe activities of the working group "eHumanities" are focused on methods of digital work and publishing, which increasingly become common practice in research conducted by the academies.\nTo support the research of the academies, the working group aims at comparing technical procedures, developing common solutions and thus establishing best practices for the academies, which are represented in this working group.The groups' work on methods, formats and tools ideally leads the executive committee of the Union to recommend the working groups' solutions for general use to the Unions' member academies. The working group "eHumanities" offers the member academies of the Union a forum for the exchange of information, for a cooperative development of common solutions and for advice concerning questions of intellectual property rights, digital editing and open access. Consequently, this may lead to recommendations for action or to new impulses which might be implemented in the scope of the strategic orientation of the executive committee of the Union.\nMembers of the working group hence include members of the academies, research managers, staff responsible for digital publications as well as IT managers or digital humanities departments of the academies.\nThe working group "eHumanities" annually organises a two-day workshop - covering a different topic in the field of electronic publishing each year - in order to inform the staff working in the projects of the academies about new developments. Additionally, intermittent meetings take place, during which technical and methodical questions are addressed, which lead to concrete technical solutions.\nText: Prof. Dr. Andreas Speer (Chair of the Working Group "eHumanities"\nWorkshop 2008 "Digitale Zukunft der Wörterbücher" FEHLT ! |

Here is good news for Chinese Mandarin learners! A Taiwanese friend showed me an interactive flip-able e-book containing videos and audios that were authored by her teacher. In the beginning pages, you can read the teacher's experience. Then, it is followed by several situational phrases, such as visiting doctors and asking directions as well as vocabulary. The contents are suitable for beginners or, better said, for those who are already familiar with basic Chinese characters and pinyin 拼音. Traditional Chinese characters are used here because it is used in Taiwan. However, do not make it stop you if you are Simplified Chinese character learners because both versions still share an amount of the same characters. You may want to take it as a challenge!\nI just read an article about a disease that I have never thought about its existence. Can you imagine waking up one day speaking a foreign language that you have never learned before? This phenomenon happened to an Englishman, Alun Morgan.\nI found an interesting article about the Cantonese language a few days ago. Although it was published in 2010, I think it worth notice, especially from me, who have a natural tie to Cantonese. Growing up as a quarter Cantonese, I have the chance to learn the language at an early age. However, my Cantonese does not go farther than basic phrases, such as "Where is the toilet?", "How to go there?", or "What is your name?" |

LandInvestors.com › Forums › **Ask A Question** › What if the county is saturated with other investors?\nDo you target different size properties?\nI’ve been hitting and missing with these counties quite a bit lately, and I’m trying not to waste too much more money on mail.\nEllis – I would avoid a county that is saturated with other land investors. 2 or 3 properties is no problem. If there are 10 or more I will pass. What you can do is “hit ’em where they ain’t”. If everyone is selling 1 and 5 acre lots, then shoot a mailer out for 10 acre and 20 acre lots.\nWill mailing to a county with a lot of investor activity affect the response? I think it will reduce the response but there is always someone who didn’t say yes last time and they are ready now. Especially when you are mailing to 1500 or more. I would be more concerned about the number of properties listed for sale and what price is on them.\nSaruration is real in some counties. Don’t listen to those who will tell you otherwise.\nSaturated counties are those where the land is cheap. Cheap, cheap. So it’s easy to start. Everyone is mailing these. Should you? Maybe, if you can’t afford otherwise.\nThe problem is this: If you have limited funds, you’ll be mailing these counties. Maybe offer them little bit higher price and you’ll get the deal or two. But don’t expect much.\nIf you have more money to dedicate to this bussiness, you can mail into other areas. You’ll have bigger chance. But competition is everywhere. It really is. Everywhere. Even in this bussiness.\nThere are land dealers that succeed big in this group and you hear about them all the time. But there arealso those you never hear about, that failed and are not here anymore. Who wants to interview those?\nI would love to hear some interviews of those too. But don’t expect it here Ellis. Instead use your own judgment and think hard how it all works. It’s a bussiness as any other. Not easier than any other. It’s hard as every other. But you won’t here it here. It’s all rosy here!\nIf you have a lot of money you can afford to dedicate to this, than it’s not a big deal to fail and keep failing and trying until you succeed, but if you don’t you’ll get desperate and it can be scary to lose your funds. Sometimes even the cheapest land in the county doesn’t sell that fast. Make sure you’re coming from the position of strength – that means more cash available and ready. Don’t quit you day job is probably the best advise for starting this bussiness. The road is not that rosy, believe me. It’s a slow expensive process that only few will manage to turn profit on.\nLook at fitness industry Ellis. It’s the same with land dealers. Everyone pays dues, but only 10% succeed and do it right. Make sure you’re the 10%. The owner of the fitness center loves most the customers that never show up and keep paying the dues.\nIt’s good to have this conversation since this business isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. What I’ve learned after a year is that I really do need to get offers out into the mail every month in order to cover my basics costs.\nYou can dabble in this and get lucky, but for the most part it’s a grind — an honest to goodness business — so you need to treat it as such. Try to get your costs down where possible and get mail out on a regular basis so that you can close a deal or two each month.\nFinally, take the time to reflect on both of your successes and failures and see where you can improve for the next mailing. Make tweaks where need be and do your best to document your processes. Fail forward and often. But document it so you don’t make the same mistakes repeatedly. |
Currently, Run, Forever is at the Braddock Hit Factory Studio with ex-Pissed Jeans bassist Dave Rosenstraus finishing up with recording and mixing for the ten songs that will appear on Settling. The album is the follow-up to the punk trio's well-received 2010 debut long-player, The Devil, And Death, And Me, which was released by Solidarity Recordings. Last year Run, Forever released an EP titled A Few Good Things, as well as a Split with Atlanta's The Wild, which can be downloaded for free at If You Make It. Both 7-inches were also issued by Solidarity.\nKnown for its tireless work ethic and resolute DIY attitude, Run, Forever has spent much of the last two years on the road, playing to enthusiastic fans in tiny clubs, sweaty basements and crowded house shows around the country. From fist-pumping, sing-along punk anthems to swinging folk rockers to more intimate acoustic numbers, the outfit's songs touch on issues such as the corruption of organized religion, politics and - on its debut - the struggle to overcome the tragic loss of former band mate. Run, Forever never fails to impress with its ability to write driving, gritty tunes without sacrificing melody or falling into predictability, and its music is one of those rare specimens that resonates profoundly in both our ears and our hearts. |
Sarah Hickerson. That was her name. It’s a new name to me, well, new in the sense of being an ancestor… rolling around on my tongue like sweet dark chocolate – the best – from Belgium – my favorite. Let me say it again and savor its flavor.\nSarah was my great-great-great-great grandmother. Those are glorious words, because before now, she was a brick wall – a maybe and nothing more. I want to introduce you to Sarah, but first, I need to introduce you to Harold.\nHarold is my long-suffering cousin. I met Harold more than 20 years ago now, probably about a quarter century ago. I remember things relative to life events – landmark events in my life – and I know where I was living when I met Harold and that it was before my previous husband’s massive stroke. He is my longest-standing genealogy research partner – what a testimony to his endurance!\nHarold with Jayden, his great-granddaughter.\nYou see, this week when I mentioned that we had broken through a 30 year brick wall, he told me that for him, it was more like a 45 year brick wall. Suddenly my 30 year brick wall didn’t look nearly so bad. Or maybe I should say his 45 year brick wall made me even more jubilant.\nHarold and I didn’t know each other before we met through genealogy. You’d think we would. Our common ancestors, Joel and Phoebe Crumley Vannoy died in 1895 and 1900 respectively, and their children were our great-grandparents who clearly knew each other – and so did their children. It seems that it was in our parent’s generation that the families lost track of each other – probably that the generation who began to move away from Appalachia in earnest – often in order to find jobs elsewhere. Harold’s grandparents moved to Missouri, and mine moved to Arkansas and then Indiana, before divorcing a decade later and a half later, in the 19-teens. The families moved apart and not only lost track of each other, the next generation didn’t even know the other families existed. That was the generation of our parents. So it was something of a miracle when Harold and I found each other, and even more amazing when we discovered we lived within 35 miles of each other in an entirely different state.\nIt was progress that divided the family, plus maybe a bit of bootlegging on my grandpa’s part, and it was genealogy that reunited us more than half a century later.\nHarold and I are both old fashioned genealogists – meaning diggers – think of us as hound dogs after a bone. Both of us have visited many locations over the years and we share our results and research with each other. In this case, it’s the cumulative effort of both of our research work that has brought us this breakthrough – although in this case, much of the Hickerson research, especially the pieces that led to Higginson, is entirely Harold’s.\nWho Was Elijah Vannoy’s Father?\nThe Vannoy family in Hancock and Claiborne Counties of Tennessee had kept good records, for the most part, since they had moved from Wilkes County, North Carolina to then Claiborne County in about 1812. Before that, not so much.\nThe earliest record of Elijah Vannoy is an 1807 entry in the Wilkes County, North Carolina Deed Book G-H. He married Lois McNeil (daughter of William McNeil and Elizabeth Shepherd) sometime before 1810 and he is listed in the Wilkes County, NC 1810 Federal Census. He left Wilkes County, NC after 1811 with the McNeil family and an Elijah Vannoy is listed in the Bedford County, Tennessee 1812 Tax List.\nLater in 1812, he appears in the Claiborne County, TN court notes where he lived for the rest of his life, even though his homeplace shifted to be in Hancock County in the 1840s when Hancock County was formed.\nThe problem is that we didn’t know who Elijah’s father was. This should not have been so tough. There were only 4 candidates. All 4 Vannoy men who lived in Wilkes County in the 1784 timeframe when Elijah was born were sons of John Francis Vannoy and Susannah Baker Anderson. How tough can this be?\nVery tough, let me tell you. Half a century tough!\nNot all Wilkes County records are existent. Seems that at some time, or times, in the past, the clerk decided to have a large bonfire because they didn’t need those old records anymore. If you’re cringing and groaning, well, so was I. I still do, every time I think of that being done intentionally. The county next door, where we think Elijah and his parents may have lived for at least part of the time, Ashe, has incomplete records as well. Ashe County was created from Wilkes in 1799.\nFortunately, the Wilkes County local tax records are still existent as well as the 1790 census records. Utilizing those records, I reconstructed, as best I could, the family structures and rough ages of the various children. Then, utilizing family records, Bibles, deeds and such, I assigned the children to the parents.\nAt the end of this process, I had narrowed the parental candidate to either Daniel or Nathaniel Vannoy. Harold had an uncle who told him that Elijah was “Nathaniel’s boy” and given what we had, we pretty much took that at face value.\nBut then, then, a Bible record emerged from a family member. Nathaniel’s Bible, and guess what….there was no Elijah. Now, people didn’t leave children out of the Bible. Nonetheless, I tried to decide if there was “room” for Elijah there, because Nathaniel seemed to be such a good fit. And there was, barely, but not very reasonably. He would have had to have been conceived when his sibling was about 3 months old, and left out of the Bible – and both of those things individually were very remote possibilities, let alone to have happened together.\nNathaniel died at the home of his daughter in 1835 in Greenville, SC. A few years ago, I visited Greenville, SC, on the way to another destination. I spent the night and the next day in the local courthouse pouring over will records, deed records, probate records….anything and everything, only to determine that Nathaniel had pretty much distributed his estate to his children before his death. However, there was no mention of an Elijah.\nDaniel was the most difficult of the men. He died early, for one thing, we think, as did his wife, leaving very few records. Daniel married Sarah Hickerson on October 2, 1779. He filed for a land patent in 1780, obtained the grant in 1782 and was on the Wilkes County tax list with 100 acres until 1787. After that, he was still taxed, but he was no longer taxed on land. He shows up in the 1790 census and on the personal property tax lists until 1795, but in 1796, he is gone and there is nothing further. However, we know the family didn’t move away, because Elijah is living there when he married Lois McNiel not long before 1810. Their proven son, Joel, also married in Wilkes County in 1817, so they had to be living someplace in the vicinity!\nIf Daniel died and had no land, there was likely no estate. Furthermore, his widow would not have been required to pay tax because only adult males over the age of either 16 or 21 were taxed, depending on where they lived and the laws of the time. In 1795, unquestionably, Elijah was under the age of 16 and any child born after 1880 would have been as well.\nThe 1800 census doesn’t exist, but in the 1810 census, we find Sarah Vannoy shown with three females. There is no further record of Sarah, unless an 1820 census record that shows a Sarah Vannoy age 26-45 is Daniel’s widow. This seems extremely unlikely, unless someone simply counted the boxes on the census form incorrectly, because in 1820, someone 45 years of age would have been born in 1779, the year Sarah was married to Daniel. That’s an awfully large mistake to make.\nThe only known male child of Daniel Vannoy is Joel, known as “Sheriff Joel” in the family. A daughter Susannah is also attributed to Daniel Vannoy and Sarah Hickerson. In the 1790 census, they had two male children, and given that we only know of one son, Joel, the slot for a second male born before 1788 is enticingly vacant.\nIn 1810, Sarah Vannoy is shown to be age 26-45, which is too young for our Sarah. If this is our Sarah, she is shown with three females, which would make three daughters and 2 sons, at least, if it is Sarah Hickerson Vannoy.\nI tried to correlate names as well. Elijah’s oldest son was named Joel, the same name as Daniel’s only known son. Elijah had a daughter named Sarah too, but no male child named Daniel…at least not that survived. But then, Joel didn’t name a son Daniel either, but he did have one named Elijah. We didn’t have a lot to work with here.\nSo there we stood, for more than a decade.\nI had journeyed to Wilkes County, NC, Greenville, South Carolina and the NC State Archives in Raleigh. Harold had been to the Allen County Public library searching for Hickerson information. That’s where he discovered that the Hickersons were originally Higginsons. We had information alright, but nothing to tie it all together and nothing to tie it to any specific Vannoy male.\nIt was still only data, information, not evidence.\nWhen DNA testing first became available, Harold and I decided that we could at lease rule in or out one possibility, and that was that Elijah wasn’t the son of any of the Vannoy men, but was instead illegitimate or adopted. Harold tested, and we found other males as well not in our line of descent, confirming that Elijah was indeed a Vannoy male genetically. At least one possibility was removed.\nI surmised years ago that the only way I was ever going to solve this mystery was through the wives lines. By that, I mean that because we are going to match descendants of all 4 men utilizing both Y and autosomal DNA, because they all 4 shared a father, that the only differentiating factor was going to be the DNA of the various wives lines.\nTo make this even tougher that means that we had to match someone ELSE, preferably multiple someone elses, descended from the wives lines utilizing autosomal DNA.\nWe have just one more fly in the ointment. Harold and I are descended from one of the wives too. Yep, everyone married their neighbors and it was inevitable. Andrew Vannoy’s’s father-in-law, John Shephard is the brother of our ancestor, Robert Shephard who married Sarah Rash and had daughter Elizabeth Shepherd who married William McNiel. William and Elizabeth had daughter Lois who married…you guessed it….Elijah Vannoy. And around and around we go.\nSo, if Elijah’s father was Andrew Vannoy, we were up the proverbial creek without a paddle. And we’d never know it because only sign would be if many people who descended from the other wives lines tested and we consistently did NOT match any of them. That’s not exactly proof – not at more than 6 generations removed.\nFortunately, Andrew had been fairly well ruled out pretty early in the game as a candidate to be Elijah’s father.\nI tentatively entered Daniel Vannoy and Sarah Hickerson as Elijah’s parents in my genealogy software, more than anything as a placeholder because I knew who Elijah’s Vannoy grandparents were, unquestionably and I needed someone to connect the generations. I felt Daniel was my best shot, although I really hesitated when I added this record to Ancestry because I felt the link was so tenuous and I didn’t want anyone else copying it as gospel.\nSo, that brings us to today, or this week, anyway. It seems appropriate that I’m finishing this article on Thanksgiving day!!!\nPeriodically, I’d go and look, rather half-heartedly to see if I had any DNA matches with any Hickersons, Hendersons or Ray/Reys and periodically, I would find out that I didn’t…or not anyone I could connect to anyway.\nEach of the three autosomal DNA vendors has the ability to search on surnames, including ancestral surnames. However what I didn’t do was twofold. I only searched my own account. I did not ask Harold to search his, nor did I search the accounts that I manage who also descend from Elijah. Duh!!! What was I thinking?\nActually, truthfully, after so many years of that wall standing so firmly, I thought it would never fall and so I stopped pushing the envelope. We are right at that 6 generation threshold, so I was painfully aware that I might not match someone on a big enough piece of DNA to be over the threshold for matching.\nHere’s my direct line to Sarah.\nWe don’t yet have advanced tools that are flexible enough to say “find all the Hickersons in the data base, drop the threshold to 3cM and tell me if I match them and if they match each other. Oh yes, and tell me if any of my Vannoy cousins match these people too.” Nope, not here yet, still a dream… so I searched my own account periodically with no results.\nSecondly, I didn’t search for the surname Higginson. I have a really good excuse for that. I didn’t realize that Higginson was the earlier form of Hickerson. Cousin Harold shared that with me this week. He found it a couple years ago when he visited the Fort Wayne library, and while it didn’t seem to matter at the time, today, it matters a great deal.\nIt’s winter in Michigan…far too early, way too cold and rather a brutal and dramatic entrance. The wind was howling the snow blowing straight sideways. Here, just look out my back window for yourself. You used to be able to see a lake, but not anymore!\nI had just spent two days researching and writing about the new Ancestry DNA Circles rollout. Truthfully, this seems “cute” and very easy and enticing, but certainly not adequate as compared to what genetic genealogists want and need, and not terribly relevant to me. By this, I mean that the only thing that DNA Circles does, is, well, group your DNA matches and those who also match each other’s DNA and have a common ancestor in a pedigree chart. That doesn’t mean that all of your DNA matches because you descend from this ancestor, but it does increase the odds, the more people in the circle.\nFor example, the only circle I have that is relevant to this discussion is a circle for Joel Vannoy that is made up of me, cousin Harold, a kit he administers and a fourth cousin who doesn’t reply to messages.\nI already know I’m descended from Joel Vannoy, so really, there is nothing for me here. Now if there had been a Hickerson circle, THAT would have been news!!!!\nGiven Ancestry’s suggestive “soft science” approach, I was terribly frustrated and rather grumpy when you combine the hours that the articles took and the terrible weather. Grumpy cat’s got nothing on me.\nHowever, because I was writing about the before and after aspect of Ancestry’s new software, I had to review all of my shakey leaf matches, before and after. Among other things, ancestry changed the way their software sorts and matches.\nBefore, I had no shakey leaf match to a descendant of Charles Hickerson and Mary Lytle, but afterwards, I did.\nThere it was, in color, sitting there just calmly staring at me. OMG!!!!\nWas this the real McCoy?? Or was this the proverbial case that we have so often found on Ancestry where the DNA does match and the pedigree does match, but they point to two different ancestors?\nNeed I mention that there are no tools at Ancestry, no chromosome browser, nada, to solve or resolve this issue? Ancestry feels we don’t need them. I’m here to tell you, we do. Here’s the perfect example of why.\nI did what any good genealogist cousin would do. I e-mailed Harold right away with the news!!!! I asked him to check his results at Ancestry and those of his brother as well, and let me know if he matches the same person, or any Hickerson descendant.\nAnd then, I waited, of course, for his answer.\nHarold’s brother had a Charles Hickerson/Mary Lytle match at Ancestry too.\nNeither Harold nor his brother matched the same person that I did, but one of the people they both matched was very interesting, because a third cousin, Cindy also shared a match with this person. Cousin Cindy descends through her ancestor known as “Sheriff Joel Vannoy,” the proven son of Daniel Vannoy and Sarah Hickerson. This match is shown above, with the current tester’s screen name and current generation removed.\nSo three Vannoy cousins, one not through Elijah, but through his suspected brother, all match the same Hickerson descendant.\nOMG this is enticing, but the problem is that we can’t prove it because we have no tools. This is exactly why we need a chromosome browser that shows us they not only match the same descendant, but match on the same segment of DNA. That’s confirmation of a genetic match – and the only way to provide that confirmation. So close but so <insert swear word of choice here> frustratingly far away.\nBelow, a little summary table of our Hickerson/Higginson matches at Ancestry.\nAbout this time, I received another message from Harold. He told me that while cousin Cindy had tested at Ancestry, her brother had tested at Family Tree DNA – and she had just joined him to the Vannoy DNA project which Harold and I administer.\nIf I was ever glad that I have embraced autosomal participants in surname projects, today is that day.\nI quickly signed onto the the Vannoy project and looked at Cindy’s brother’s Family Finder results. Utilizing the “ancestral surname” search capability, I discovered that Cindy’s brother indeed matches three people who descend from a Hickerson line, including one who descends from Charles Hickerson and Mary Lytle through a son.\nOh, I’m in Digger the Dog heaven now, because I do have tools at Family Tree DNA – and I also have cousins – lots of cousins.\nI hadn’t really realized the true power of cousins until this exercise.\nThere are a total of 10 cousins, nine of whom descend from Elijah Vannoy and Lois McNiel and one from Daniel Vannoy and Sarah Hickerson’s son, Joel, who have tested at Family Tree DNA, all of whom are in the Vannoy DNA project.\nNeedless to say, I searched each one for both Hickerson and Higginson ancestral suranme matches, and what I found was a goldmine. Individually, these results were interesting with a nugget or two, but cumulatively, it was the Gold Rush!!!\nAfter I made a matrix of who matched whom, I then began the process of pushing the results into the chromosome browser. I won’t bore you with the many iterations of that exercise, but suffice it to say that it’s very exciting to see the Vannoy, Hickerson and Higginson segments overlap.\nIn this example, individuals are being compared to my cousin Buster at 1cM.\nAt the end of the day, we had the following match matrix. All of the Vannoy cousins are shown at left, including William who descends from Sheriff Joel Vannoy, proven son of Daniel Vannoy and Sarah Hickerson. The rest of the cousins all descend from Elijah Vannoy and Lois McNiel. The top row represents all of the individuals who show Hickerson or Higginson in their ancestral surnames. The two green individuals descend from Charles Hickerson and Mary Lytle (Little).\nYou’ll notice, above, that there are several instances where more than one cousin matched the same Hickerson/Higginson descendant. This was very important, because it allowed me to compare their DNA by segment in the chromosome browser.\nI downloaded all of the match data for the matches to the Hickersons and Higginsons, and to each Vannoy cousin as well. Needless to say, the Hickerson and Higginson matches won’t be displayed at Family Tree DNA unless they are over the matching threshold of around 7.7cM, which does not mean they would not match at lower segment thresholds. That can be discovered by a composite spreadsheet in which all of the matches of all of the cousins plus the Hendersons and Hickersons are compiled. Downloaded match data at Family Tree DNA includes segments of 1cM or above.\nThe spreadsheet is 614 rows and includes 64 matching clusters of individuals which include Vannoy cousins and at least one Hickerson/Higginson match. Some of these matches are as large as 20cM with 6000 SNPs. More than twenty Hickerson/Higginson triangulated matches are over 10cM with from 1500 to 6000 SNPs. Many are much smaller. An excerpt of one match cluster is shown below. This is the same group as is shown on the chromosome browser on chromosome 2, at the very top of the graphic.\nNote that the cousins are matching each other on this segment, and they are also matching the Hickerson/Higginson descendants as well on this same segment, which strongly suggests that this “Vannoy” segment is descended from the Hickerson/Higginson line of the family.\nBingo! Checkmate! Wahoo!!!! Happy Dance!\nSarah Hickerson – you are now MY confirmed ancestor, along with your husband Daniel Vannoy. Welcome back to the family – we’ll be celebrating you at the Thanksgiving table today. You have been resurrected to us, reconnected after more than 100 years of being lost!\nThe dead may be dead, but our ancestors don’t have to be dead to us, even if the records are gone – they aren’t.\nTheir DNA runs in our veins, and that of our cousins. The power of this solution was found in the many cousins who have tested. Without all of us, the ancestral connection would not have been revealed.\nThank you, cousins, on this wonderful Thankgiving Day!!!! Thank you Harold for your tireless research, and for never giving up.\nAnd thank you Family Tree DNA for the chromosome browser, the matrix and other tools necessary to break down this brick wall.\nHi Roberta, Perhaps I am misunderstanding, but are you really claiming to have “proved” an ancestor based on segments smaller than 2 cMs? Is the grouping on Chromosome 2 on what you are basing your conclusions? Most of these segments are likely pseudo-segments and would disappear if you had the ability to phase your data. The rest are most likely IBS – simply an indication of ancestry from a common population group. In no way do segments this side indicate a recent common ancestor.\nThere are many other matching segments, and obviously many are over the matching threshold of 7+cM or they wouldn’t be shown as matches at all at Family Tree DNA. I chose that particular segment as an example because it was shown on chromosome two on the browser above with matches for 5 people and it had a large number of matching Vannoy cousins who also matched several Hickerson/Higginson individuals. It was an example, since I didn’t really think that everyone wanted to see all 614 rows of the spreadsheet. I would not claim an ancestor based only on this match only, but in addition to many other segments, it certainly can’t dismissed as irrelevant. Some of the triangulated segments between the Vannoy/Hickerson/Higginson individuals are as large as 13 and 19cM and 3000 and 4800 SNPs. There are a total of 65 triangulated segments in the 614 rows that are triangulated between the Vannoy/Hickerson/Higginson participants.\nI’m glad to hear that, but I think that this was a potentially misleading example to use since it gave the impression that these tiny matches are highly significant. Thank you for your clarification.\nCongratulations. Very inspirational story for those of us interested in genetic genealogy. So glad for you that your persistence has paid off. Now you can train your sleuthing skills on to another mystery!\nThis makes my heart sing! (Or maybe I’m just hungry.) Congratulations! This is truly inspirational.\nGreat article! Your brick wall reminds me of one I am dealing with. Is there a way to tell if the Ancestry hints are based off of my tree or a DNA match? It appears that most of them are just coming from matching names on my tree and I’m looking for ones that are due to DNA with these same names.\nThey are based on DNA. You have the option at Ancestry of downloading your raw data and uploading it to GedMatch and/or FTDNA and comparing it to those of your matches who have also done this. You will usually find that some have; that will increase your confidence that your Ancestry DNA is based on DNA, not just trees. If you have a particularly interesting match you can often appeal to their curiousity and request they upload. Your first job is to learn to understand what you are seeing in that raw data upload actually means.\nLaura, I’m not sure I was clear enough. I have kits at FTDNA & Ancestry, I’ve also uploaded all of these to GEDmatch. I have used DNA for a while and understand it pretty well. My question is whether on Ancestry trees any of the leaf hints pertain to DNA and not just the information provided in the tree – not when I am on my DNA Home page. I find that people don’t even reply, let alone upload upon request, and many don’t even have a visible tree. Very frustrating! BTW, a Davenport recently showed up on my father’s Y-67 along with our surname of Moore.\nWhat a family tangle and such a happy ending. And a great example of why we need all the DNA analysis tools possible.\nI absolutely agree with CeCe, but thank you for clarifying that these “DNA cousins” also share larger segments, above the FTDNA 7.7 threshold. Not that it isn’t still misleading and will have every novice in the universe chasing 1cM segments. Although I realize what you have done is look for clusters of these small homologous segments among a set of subjects who are already connected by segments long enough to have a high likelihood of being IBD, there are many who won’t.\nThey can’t even see the smaller segments at FTDNA if they don’t match above the threshold in the first place, because they aren’t considered a match. I very clearly showed that these people matched at FTDNA and several of them matched multiple cousins at FTDNA – in the chart above the spreadsheet.\nI realize that and I saw the chart above the spreadsheet. But the second that phrase “lower the threshold” enters the conversation it’s all some people will see or think about. And, trust me, it’s downhill from there.\nAs mentioned by other posters on this page, these small segments may or may not be meaningful. Who knows. But, I thought it was fun to compare. If you should do any further research on your Hickerson line to determine who Charles Hickerson’s father was, etc., I hope you’ll blog with your results. I don’t descend from Charles Hickerson. My line, as far as I’ve been able to research, goes back to John Hickerson, who was born about 1755 in Fauquier County, Virginia, and died 1791 in Sumner County, Tennessee. His father is said to be Thomas Hickerson, born about 1736 in Prince William County (now Fauquier), Virginia, and died in 1812 in Warren County, Kentucky. It would be interesting if our Hickerson lines intersect at some point further back.\nThat’s actually very interesting because it just so happens on that segment that several of the Hickerson/Vannoy descendants match from a range of about 131-138 and you are dead center in that range.\nRoberta, if that’s the case, couldn’t it make it possible that that segment range on Chr 20 could represent Hickerson alone and not Vannoy? I love this stuff.\nDid you check out the Higgerson-Higgason-Hickerson project at FamilyTreeDNA? I administer it and am willing to collaborate.\nI checked it out very early but will contact you privately. Thank you much! |
Fight Like A Girl aims to make self defence programs affordable to every woman in the world by 2030. Even if every woman knew how to defend herself, however, why would we accept a world in which she had to? To tackle the problem directly, we have created Fight Like A Man through which we go to corporations, universities and schools to talk to boys and men about gender-based violence, healthy boundaries and social change. Together we can change the world.\nHow do you keep Fight Like A Girl going?\nWith the generous support of our sponsors and volunteers.\nWe are deeply grateful to OpenMat, Dare To Defend and The Fight Network who are enabling us to keep this program running through 2017.\nHow does Fight Like A Girl differ from other women’s self-defence courses?\nIt has been proven to work against bigger people.\nIt deals specifically with what we think of as vulnerable positions.\nThere is immense power hidden in what we think of as worst-case scenarios.\nMost women’s self defence courses teach violent techniques – gouging eyes, kneeing groins, etc. These are valuable, but they assume we’re facing a stranger in an alley. Imagine the teenage girl who is with someone she wants to be there with, and that person crosses a line. If the only tools we’ve given her are to poke out eyes, have we given her any at all. Yes, she has the right to use them, but if she doesn’t feel comfortable maiming someone she knows, we’ve left her without options. Jiu-Jitsu is that option. It allows us to control our personal space without having to hurt the person.\nSince March 2013, we have run women’s self defence workshops every month (with a few exceptions while we moved in 2016). These 3 hour workshops are the perfect introduction to self defence for those who have never tried it. If you are interested in participating, email [email protected] or put your contact info in the form below to join our mailing list or join us on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/FLAGToronto.\nSpace is limited and our workshops regularly overbook. They generally take place on a Sunday, sometimes a Saturday. They are announced the month before, so make sure to email [email protected] to get on our mailing list to get the first crack at registering.\nThis two-day course covers content we aren’t able to get to in a one-day workshop. In addition to looking at unique techniques, the extra time allows us to gradually increase the intensity. Developing our comfort with that intensity is as valuable as knowing what to do.\nFundamental strategies – always keep them in front, manage distance, understanding positioning, etc.\nHow to manipulate our weight to prevent anyone pulling or pushing us.\nGetting behind and away from someone who is wrapping your arms up.\nEscaping a headlock with only bodyweight.\nEscaping various grips and grabs without relying strength.\nHow to throw someone who grabs you from behind.\nPreventing someone from taking us to the ground, putting them to sleep if necessary.\nThe psychology of strength – how to look like someone who is not to be messed with.\nVerbal Jiu-Jitsu – our words can be our greatest tools – learn what to say and to say it.\nOne secret for remaining calm in stressful situations – valuable in every area of life.\nHow to neutralize someone who is trying to choke you.\nHow to prevent someone from using their weight against you.\nHow to not get hit when you are on your back.\nHow to get up and away when you are on your back.\nHow to put the opponent to sleep when you are on your back and you can’t get away.\nTo be put on the waiting list for the next course, email [email protected].\nThis follow up course to the 101 version gives participants a chance to review and expand on what was learned in the 101. As the techniques each become stronger, we learn to string them together enabling us to respond to a an unpredictable, ever-changing situation. Special emphasis is given to escaping against greater intensity.\nThis is only open to those who have completed the 101 course and those taking private lessons, upon instructor approval.\nWhether you are interested in empowering the women and girls in your organization, or offering cutting edge, socially conscious life-coaching to the men and boys, we have the program to meet your needs. Our workshops change lives and unite teams like never before.\nEmail [email protected] for to find out more. |
Poirier v Holloway and Adesanya v Gastelum - the Greatest mainevents ever?\nWere these the greatest fights to ever happen in consecutive main and co main event spots on a single fight card?\nWhat an amazing showing from all four of these great athletes and warriors. Hell even Eryk Anders showed up again and proved he’s made of metal. I’d say most people in the crowds wouldn’t have had a voice the next day they were screaming so hard.\nIsrael is definetely the real deal and it was good to see him tested that way before a title fight. It’s going to be very hard to doubt him in the future now that we absolutely KNOW he’s a savage inside the ring and has a heart of a lion.\nThat’s not a question anymore. Gastelum was never in question. That dude is a mexican warrior. All Mexicans are known for their toughness so he kind of already had the benefit of the doubt.\nDoes Israel beat Whittaker for the belt? Well, we can’t question either of their hearts in this game. It’s going to be one hell of a battle. It’s a hard one for me to pick a side because they’re both so close to home. Whittaker being a fellow Aussie I have to root for him but I also love Israel so damn much. I watched him live fighting in Melbourne against Anderson Silva, who in my opinion is the greatest fighter to ever live. But Whittaker is my countrymen, how do you bet against him?\nHolloway and Poirier was also a amazing fight. How crazy was it to watch both these wars back to back? Damn!\nWhat does Holloway to from here? He’s also one of my favourite fighters of all time and I wrote an article about him here predicting he would be a UFC champion.

This is a truly all-time favorite recipe.\nI know I say that a lot. But this is so true.\nThe original version and inspiration for this recipe is Cooking Light’s Golden Winter Soup. It’s so delicious and already pretty light and healthful that it doesn’t even need to be modified.\nBut in my constant effort to make recipes even more nutritious and sneak in more vegetables (that my two year old just refuses to eat), a soup like this is a good go-to that makes me feel good about what we are both eating.\nMy version is very similar to Cooking Light’s where it has butternut squash as the base. But rather than adding potatoes, I add roasted veggies like carrots, parsnips, even cauliflower. The roasting brings out the natural touch of sweetness in the veggies and also lightens up the starchiness a bit. Not that a two year old can’t benefit from the potatoes, but this is where we are going for both of our goals here.\nThis recipe freezes well so it’s perfect to make in a big batch, eat for a few days, and freeze any remaining portions for a later time when needed. I’m doing this a lot these days in prep for baby M #2.\nIt also pairs perfectly with some sort of cheesey-toast. The original sliced baguette with gruyere works well. However, I tend to take some sort of whole grain toast- because it’s more fiber and nutritious – and always on hand, top it with whatever cheese is in the house, and simply grill it or broil it.\nRecently, I even made a pimento-cheese like version where I mixed Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree (hidden veggies), with shredded cheese all topped on Dave’s Killer bread and toasted it.\nI was secretly rejoicing as everyone ate it without complaint- even the hubby- and he is by far my hardest client. Well, he and Lillian are very close rivals, but regardless he said it was good and when I hesitantly shared my secret (although rather pridefully), he continued to say how good it was and that he couldn’t taste the pumpkin! This will become a go-to now for the little one. We’ve already made quesadillas, too, and we are on 5 continuous days of some sort of vegetable consumption! Needless to say, I’ve been breathing easier and worrying a little less.\nOther pureed “neutral” veggies would work well too- thinking yellow squash, zucchini, cauliflower, even leftover baby food or pouches!\nAnd now onto the very special and successful recipe.\nIn a large dutch oven melt the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the butternut squash and toss and saute for about 5-10 minutes. Add the leeks, additional veggies, and stock.\nBring the mixture to a simmer and cover. Let it cook, stirring and tossing the veggies occasionally, until the butternut squash becomes soft and easily mashed by a fork or whatever utensil you are using to stir everything.\nRemove from the heat. Carefully blend the mixture in a blender or use a handheld blender to puree everything together until you reach your desired consistency (I go with a pretty smooth mixture here as I’m trying to get the daughter to not realize it’s veggies, but otherwise I might like a fairly chunkier texture).\nStir in the half and half and black pepper. Sprinkle some cinnamon or ground nutmeg with an extra touch of half and half drizzled on top.\nGarnish with chives or rosemary.\nFor the veggies, you can roast them (great to use up leftovers, especially after a holiday like Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas) or just throw in any veggies you like from potatoes (sweet or white), cauliflower, yellow squash or zucchini, carrots, turnips, parsnips (thinking root veggies that are in the white-orange- yellow color wheel).\nFor the stock, chicken or vegetable works well, especially the latter if looking for a true vegetarian recipe. If not, bone broth would be a super nutrient rich choice and adds some nice protein to the recipe!\nFor the half and half, I would also use Fairlife milk as an option, especially if I don’t have half and half on hand- like when the hubby puts the empty carton back in the fridge. |

I assume you're talking about MM14, in which case I strongly support your request for conditional formatting of a topic or the application of markers or flags based on whether the cell contents of a topic or its properties met certain criteria.\nMindjet purchased the great Power Markers MM add-in which did just that - for example you could set it up to change the topic colour depending on whether a task name contained certain words or would fall due in one, two or seven days - plus of course whether it was overdue. Unfortunately after purchasing Power Markers they dumbed it down and replaced the conditional formatting facility with the current smart fills feature, which has only a fraction of the features that Power Markers originally had. |
This tool helps to convert a MIKE11 model into a HEC-RAS model. This specifically allows the conversion of MIKE11 network (nwk11) and cross section (xns11) files into a corresponding HEC-RAS geometry (*.g00) file.\nThis conversion tool may be extremely helpful to perform the most tedious parts of the process, while reducing the chances of human error during the alternative time-consuming manual conversion. However, this is only a first stab at the procedure to get an equivalent HEC-RAS model, since further manual adjustments are necessary. |

In an open letter to Finance Minister Charles Sousa, Ontario PC MPP Sam Oosterhoff, representing the riding of Niagara West-Glanbrook, called on the government to finally stand-up for the Niagara Region in the provincial budget.\nThe Ontario PCs also echoed these calls in the legislature this April 24th at Queen’s Park. Audio and video of the question is below.\n“My question is to the Minister of Finance. I wrote to the minister last week.\n“Nurses and doctors in Niagara tell me the same sad story. Front-line health care in the Niagara region is a major concern, but this government has cut over 1,500 nursing positions over the past year. In some cases, there is only one registered nurse taking care of over 200 seniors in a long-term-care facility. This is unfair to our nurses, unfair to our seniors and unfair to the people of Niagara.\n“While blaming this situation on funding restrictions, this government keeps wasting money on layers of bureaucracy and duplication of services, which only feed frustration. |

A homeowner, builder and designer put their creative minds together to renovate a historic Nantucket bungalow, bearing in mind the rich history of the home while making it fit for modern living.\nJulie Forgaard’s newly renovated Siasconset bungalow stands unassumingly among a garden of hydrangeas, beckoning to passersby, inviting them to step into a world of history flawlessly mixed with modernity.\nThe cobblestoned streets of Nantucket are a mark of the timeless charm this area has to offer, be they warmed by summer sun or dusted with winter snow. While many escape to the island year round for its unusual serenity, quiet streets and stoically towering churches, Forgaard and her family find the area to be a bustling change from their small hometown in New Hampshire.\n“For us, coming to Nantucket is like going to the big city,” Forgaard says. “The winter population is double the size of our rural town in New Hampshire. There are stores, restaurants, galleries, theaters, all sorts of things we can’t get up north, and there’s so much traffic,” she adds, laughing.\nForgaard is a self-proclaimed beach girl, and that is one of the many reasons she chose to buy a home on Nantucket. “Here, you can go to a different beach every day,” she says.\nHer family’s carefully crafted new space in the village of ‘Sconset will allow them to enjoy the island not only more often but also more fully, because there is no better way to learn about the complicated, nautical history of the Cape and Islands than through the fervent love and care of an historic cottage. |

A recent survey carried out by the charity Will Aid has revealed that 56% of parents with children under the age of 18 are yet to make a Will. This is a troubling statistic for a number of reasons.\nIf a parent dies without a legally valid Will in place, then not only will the law determine who inherits their money and possessions, but the authorities could also be tasked with deciding who should care for the children they have left behind.\nWhen you make a Will, you are able to name the people that you would like to look after your children if you're no longer here to look after them yourself. You can say who should be the children's guardian(s) and also name backup guardians if these people are unable to step in when needed for any reason.\nBefore making your Will, you should sit down and have an open and honest conversation with anyone that you would like to name as a guardian in your Will. Obviously this is a huge commitment for anyone to agree to, so it's important that you talk about this before you name someone in your Will as the guardian of your children. This way you can be assured that they are willing and able to take this this commitment on if the need ever arises.\nIf the children have another parent who already cares for them either full or part time, you may feel that this is irrelevant as the other parent will naturally be the one to take care of them if you die. However, there's no way of predicting the future. If the worst happens and you both lose your lives in an accident, for example, what will happen then?\nIn this situation, it's likely that the decision would fall to the authorities. If the duty of assigning a new guardian for your children does fall to the local authority then there are processes and procedures that will need to be followed. In some situations, this can be a complicated process which could take time to finalise.\nThe best way to ensure that your children are properly protected in your absence and placed into the care of people you trust as quickly as possible is to set out these wishes in your Will, leaving no room for discrepancy.\nIt's likely that you will want your children to inherit some of your Estate when you die. If you die without a Will in place, then inheritance laws called the Rules of Intestacy will determine how your Estate is passed on to your relatives. This places the deceased's spouse or civil partner as the main Beneficiary (i.e. the person entitled to inherit the most) followed by the deceased's children.\nUnder the Rules of Intestacy, your spouse might be set to inherit your whole Estate. If the Estate falls above a certain value, then a smaller proportion of this will also be divided equally among your children. This may not be how you want your Estate to be divided. By making a Will, you can set out exactly what should go to whom, dividing your Estate however you see fit.\nIf you have children from a previous relationship and you have since remarried, then without a Will everything may automatically pass to your spouse, who is then free to pass this on however they wish. This can result in your children receiving nothing at all from your Estate.\nThis chain of events is known as sideways disinheritance. By making a Will you can ensure that your children are provided for after you die. There is also the option to include a Trust in your Will to provide for your spouse during their lifetime, but ultimately pass your Estate down to your children after your spouse dies. This can be an effective solution to the sideways disinheritance trap.\nIt's important to acknowledge that stepchildren are not recognised under the Rules of Intestacy, so if you have stepchildren that you would like to leave something to when you die, it's essential that you make a Will naming them as a Beneficiary of your Estate.\nYou can also appoint Trustees in your Will, who will be the people responsible for looking after your children's inheritance until they are legally able to receive this. You can decide at which point you want your children to receive their inheritance. This could be determined by their age or by other circumstances, such as their financial stability for example. Without a Will, all Beneficiaries are automatically entitled to receive their inheritance when they reach 18 years of age, but this might not be the best approach for everyone. By making a Will, you can tailor it to suit your and your family's individual circumstances.\nMaking a Will to protect children, and to provide for them, needn't be a complicated, longwinded or costly process. With Co-op Legal Services, our specialist Will writers will discuss your circumstances in detail and establish your needs, ensuring that you get a Will that is perfectly tailored to your individual requirements. Our fixed price Wills start from £150 (including VAT) for a Single Will. |

Ideally suited for use when handling factious cats, snakes and other wildlife under 25lbs (11kg). The zipper at the bottom of the bag makes for easy transfers/releases.\nThe Freeman Cage Nettm can be used on animals up to 25lbs (12kgs).\nOpen the net by removing the cover and unravelling the net from the frame. Place one hand on the black plastic grip and the other hand of the black tube handle on the end of the net and push it towards the grip.\nOnce you have the animal secured inside the net, pull back the plastic handle towards the end of the net and roll the net at least one full turn. By doing this it will secure the opening and prevent the animal escaping, it will also release the stress of the weight of the animal on the wire hoop.\nTo release the animal from the net you can either unroll the net and release from the top or use the convenient zipper at the bottom of the net to release the animal.\nDo not use bleach on your net, this will damage the net and mechanisms. You can disinfect the net by spraying it with any non-bleach cleaning solution. Should netting become stiff over time you can dip it into a bucket of fabric softener. Periodically lube the track (inner tube area) where the round piece of plastic travels with general-purpose silicone spray to reduce the sticking that may happen after cleaning. Always store your net in a closed position away from direct sunlight.\nA sliding handle mechanism easily opens and closes the Cage Net.\nTo secure the animal within the net simply roll the net up a few times.\nFeaturing a convenient full length zipper on the bottom of the bag to make it easier to examine, treat and release an animal.\nA nylon sleeve is included to for easy storage and travel.\nThe small mesh size greatly reduces the chance of tangling and makes for easier releases. This mesh also helps reduce the risk of damaging or splaying the feathers of birds. |

Wrestling Revolution HD is a total conversion mod for the default install of WR3D. There are a lot of changes under the hood to increase the visual look of the base game. This is the MDickie edition which keeps the ‘fake’ promotions and names. A Real World edition will be available soon!\nAll Environment textures have been replaced with stylised visuals. Backstage area and arena textures are now much more eye pleasing and fit with the look of the game. When you select venue ‘Decors’ you will have a nice looking environment every time.\nArena/Backstage models have also been mapped to these new textures. There will be no MDickie default textures in any venue.\nAll fonts have been replaced with more legible ones. All text in the game now looks much better, and thanks to the Flash based engine, looks incredible at any resolution.\nRevised menu screens. The career mode calendar screen and match creation screens are now very presentable.\nPromotion logos and ring aprons have been designed from the ground up. They are 2017 version of MDickie’s original creations. I love the MDickie universe, so creating fresh logos for the promotions is the best part of making WRHD.\nNew audio. Crowd sounds have been fully replaced, as well as wrestler pain sounds and some various weapon impact noises (Thanks to TWC4).\nThe Theme limit has been increased to 400.\nNew weapons. A new chair model (comes in blue, black and khaki), new table mode, stop sign, barbed wire bat, stretcher, new steps, guitar and cardboard boxes and crates have been replaced with roadie cases.\nDue to the many changes, this will replace your Game.swf file. If you have any other mods that have an edited Game.Swf, this will more than likely break your game. It’s advised to use WRHD on a fresh install of the game, and then you can add your own mods.\nIf you already have your own themes in your music folder, the themes included in this pack will replace them, so be sure to take them out before installing WRHD, you can safely rename them when the WRHD themes are installed. WRHD allows for a whopping 400 Themes!\nThis does not change any roster or career mode files.\nTWC4 team for the weapon models & crowd/pain sounds. |
There are three ways in which you can make a VoIP call, each way having a different set of requirements and implications. The three ways are differentiated by what you have on each of the two communicating sides.\nThe word computer here includes all devices that use digital data and run an operating system, like desktop computers, laptop computers, tablet PCs, and smartphones. This mode is the most common, as it is easy and free. You need to have a computer connected to the Internet, with the necessary hardware to talk and listen (either a headset or speakers and a microphone). You can install voice communication software like Skype and you are ready to talk.\nObviously, this mode will work only if you have a correspondent who is using a computer or mobile device like a smartphone equipped like yours to communicate. She should be connected at the same time. It’s like chatting, but with voice.\nThis can happen not only on the Internet but on a Local Area Network (LAN) as well. The network should be IP-enabled, i.e. the Internet Protocol (IP) should be running and controlling packet transfer on your network. This way, you can communicate with another person on the same network.\nWhether you are communicating over the Internet or a LAN, you need to have adequate bandwidth. If you have around 50 kbps, it will work, but you won’t have great quality. For good quality voice, get at least 100 kbps for a conversation.\nUsing IP Phones: An IP Phone looks just like a normal phone. The difference is that instead of working on the normal PSTN network, it is connected to a gateway or router, a device which, simply said, does the necessary mechanisms to get the VoIP communication running. The IP phone, therefore, does not connect to the RJ-11 socket. Instead, it uses the RJ-45 plug, which is the one we use for wired LANs. If you want to have an idea of what an RJ-11 plug is, have a look at your normal phone or your dial-up modem. It is the plug that connects the wire to the phone or modem. The RJ-45 plug is similar but bigger.\nYou can, of course, use wireless technologies like Wi-Fi to connect to a network. In this case, you can either be using a USB or RJ-45 for connection.\nUsing an ATA: ATA is short for Analog Telephone Adapter. It is a device that allows you to connect a standard PSTN phone to your computer or directly to the Internet. The ATA converts voice from your normal phone and converts it to digital data ready to be sent over a network or the Internet.\nIf you register for VoIP service, it is common to have an ATA bundled along in the service package, which you can return once you terminate the package. For example, you get an ATA in a package with Vonage and AT&T’s CallVantage. You only have to plug the ATA to your computer or and phone line, install the necessary software, and you are ready to use your phone for VoIP.\nNow that you understand how you can use your computer, normal phones, and IP phones to make VoIP calls, it is easy to figure out that you can call a person using a PSTN phone from your computer. You can also use your PSTN phone to call someone on his computer.\nYou can also have a mixture of VoIP users, using phones and computers to communicate over the same network. The hardware and software are heavier in this case. |

I'm Just here to watch the opposition Mr Gold.\nEngland are once again hurting after a whoppingly humiliating defeat to Iceland - no, not the cut price supermarket, but the tiny country with 300,000 inhabitants. Stats are that Icelandic males have a 1 in 2000 chance of playing football for their country! Back at West Ham your chances of playing for Roy Hodgson's England were 1 in ten gazillion, apparently.\nAfter an in and out opening three matches, the Hodgson error was exposed - put simply: NO PLAN B. Was there ever a game where England needed the twin battering rams of Andy ('I can out-head every CB in the world') and Michail Antonio ('Watch me open your defence with a direct run towards goal'), then it was the final quarter of last night's game where Iceland had firmly shut the gates.\nEven worse, England lacked a midfielder who could lead by example...anyone for Mark Noble? As a committed Hammer, a big part of you will be glad that our players weren't exposed to the horror of being part of the Euro mess.\nThe competition for a new manager will be fascinating - mostly because there are no obvious replacements! Let's hope that they don't approach Mr Bilic who clearly has the experience and smarts for the role. Either way, with the excitement of the first Olympic Stadium season ahead, He'd probably tell them to fcuk off!\nEveryone knows that England can only win a trophy when they have three West Ham players in the team (and not five Spuds, Roy's secret love child Jack Wheelchair and ginger baddie Rooney).\nOverhaul time.......too late for Noble and possibly Carroll, but just to see Hodgson squirm when them chickens came home to roost made it worthwhile. C'mon Woy, explain again why we didn't need big Andy as a Plan B! I really need the belly laugh, you geriatric biased old tw4t.\nRoy Hodgson should have taken Noble & Antonio. Not so sure about Carroll though.\nHe should not have taken Wilshere, Sterling and Barkeley (who never figured anyway). Noble and Antonio could have played in midfield. At least they would have been able to pass and cross the ball. Kane taking corners and free kicks what a joke. |

Note: This is a proposal still and under reasonable heavy discussion. Please read the NodeFencing page in addition to this one; this page only explains the implementation of the STONITH Agents, not the integration into the CRM design.\nThey are not located under /usr/ocf, but under /usr/lib/heartbeat/stonith.d/.\nFor every STONITH method, there is one agent. They likely will all call into the same STONITH backend initially (ie, be a wrapper around the existing heartbeat STONITH plug-ins), but complement them. However, this also means that we have an additional plug-in structure, so that people can chose.\nOn start, they start a daemon process to connect to the STONITH device; this is the instantiation of what is called the STONITH Controller in the NodeFencing page. This daemon monitors and controls the STONITH Device, and, if possible/necessary, does what is needed to ensure that we are the only one accessing the device (so that no other task interferes).\nSurprisingly, on stop, said daemon is stopped and thus the ownership of the STONITH Device released.\nmonitor does just what it does for regular resources; it verifies whether the daemon is still running and performs a health check request by which the daemon reports whether it can still reach the STONITH Device.\nThe fence operation, which we supply with a comma-separated list of node names to fence (via a OCF_RESKEY_STONITH_NODES environment variable) and report back on stdout for each node name whether the STONITH operation was successful or not. A non-zero exit code on the fence operation shall be interpreted a complete failure to reach the STONITH device, so the CRM can reallocate the STONITH controller resource on another node, if applicable.\nThe list-fence-targets which - after the resource has been started - reports the list of nodes which the device controls to stdout (which is already relayed back to us via the LocalResourceManager).\nSunJiangDong said: According to the new node fencing architecture, now there is no actual StonithAgent scripts, only function simulation via stonith RA plugin plus the stonith daemon. Moreover, the functions corresponding to the above two operations will be moved to and implemented in node fencing daemon's API library, there will be no these two opertations on virtual StonithAgents. In other word, now these virtual StonithAgents act more like the standard OCF RAs. Please refer to SmartFencingDaemonProposal. Any comment? |

This year Twitter reached into its garden of production and pulled out a Vine. In late January 2013, the recently acquired video sharing platform and mobile app became available to the public. Vine is currently available on iPhone and iPod Touch devices, but Twitter has promised other options will be available soon.\nFor digital marketers, Vine is a bit of a mystery. Immediately, there was a flurry of questions. Who would use this service? What kind of content would it cater to? And where do brands trying to reach their core audience fit into all of this?\nMuch of the frustration some marketers are feeling comes from the fact that Vine is an abbreviated video sharing service that doesn’t seem to fit in the landscape as we know it. In a world where users are used to advanced video sharing sites like Youtube and Vimeo, the limited scope of Vine may seem confining. But perhaps getting the answers to some of your most frustrating questions can help.\nDo We Really Have to Use Such Short Videos?\nThe first thing you’ll realize after poking around Vine is that there is no upload option. That means that the only videos you can share with Vine are the ones you create with the app. For many users, this is a problem. You’re used to platforms, like Youtube, that allow you to create with any equipment you’d like. Furthermore, Vine limits its videos to six second loops.\nBut think back to the beginning days of Twitter. Remember when 140 characters seemed like not enough to even express a single thought? Well last year, reports put Twitter users near the half a billion mark. Obviously, we all found a way to get over it.\nWhat Twitter became is the type of network where brevity rules. Like Twitter, Vine caters to an audience with faster typing fingers and shorter attention spans. Brands who fit in with these users will thrive with the platform. Those that don’t will continue to use less specific video sites like Youtube.\nWould It Have Killed Them to Give Us Some Editing Features?\nVine’s recording feature is drop dead simple. You press the Create button to begin recording and take your finger off when you’re done. You can do simple editing by lifting your finger during parts you don’t want to capture and pressing again when you’re ready to continue recording.\nThis is frustrating to users who want to put out fully produced videos. But again, Vine isn’t for that type of video sharing. It’s for stripped down guerilla style videos and the marketing plans that complement that. Vine isn’t for commercials or movies. Think short product spotlights, interesting action shots or visual punchlines.\nDo We Really Need to Work on Building Another Platform?\nTwitter’s relationship to Vine is a lot like Facebook’s relationship to Instagram. Twitter owns Vine but Twitter and Vine are two separate platforms. Your follower count has nothing to do with the social network you’ve built over Twitter and thus there is less reach for your brand. This can be frustrating when you’ve spent significant man hours building up your brand’s presence on bigger, more well known social platforms.\nRemember that Vine is also an app that crosses platforms, too. You can set your Vine videos to post to Twitter and Facebook. So if you’re not interested in building a following on Vine, don’t worry too much about it. Instead, use the app to provide original and interesting content to your current followings on those already established networks.\nVine is still so new, it’s wet behind the ears. But for brands that can see the potential in the micro-video platform, it’s a great opportunity to try something that may very well change the landscape of video marketing. Only time will tell.\nAuthor bio: Brian Lakeman is author and Brand Manager for Activ8me, Australia’s premiere fibre broadband provider. |

For 2014 there’s little doubt that RockShox have set their sights on the hard-hitting trail bike and enduro racing market. They’re leading the charge with the resurrection of the legendary Pike fork in a lightweight, 160mm travel chassis with brand-new sealed cartridge ‘Charger’ damper, available in the full trio of wheel sizes.\nThe Rapid Recovery damping system seen on the Vivid Air R2C downhill shock will also be present on the fork as well as on an updated Monarch Plus rear shock, while the Maxle Lite and Reverb dropper post system all see small but significant changes.\nBikeRadar headed to the red rock and dust in the desert around Sedona, Arizona, to put the new technology to the test.\nThe original Pike fork was launched way back in 2005, and with its combination of 140mm travel and stiff 20mm thru-axle it won over many riders with a blend of tracking precision and all-mountain, hard riding capability without an excess of weight; a blueprint for almost all mountain and trail forks that followed.\nThe 2014 model is a long cry from the early fork. The reincarnated Pike will be available in 26, 27.5 and 29in chassis versions, all sporting up to 160mm of travel from the 35mm diameter upper legs.\nRockShox hadn’t planned to create a 160mm travel 29er fork, but with potential demand on bikes such as the recently-released 155mm travel Specialized Enduro 29 it doesn’t take a genius to see who this fork is gunning at. Weighing a claimed 1,838g for the 160mm, 26in Solo Air model, it’s a significant 100g or so lighter than the similarly pitched Fox 34 Float CTD.\nThe 160mm model is joined by a 150mm option, with Solo Air or travel adjustable Dual Position Air spring versions. A 29er-only 140mm Solo Air sprung model will also be available. The forks cannot be user-modified to shorter or longer travel settings.\nThe 2014 Pike has been designed specifically around a tapered steerer and 15mm thru-axle. Excising choice from the equation has allowed RockShox to focus on minimising weight.\nThat’s been achieved by making the lower leg casting shorter on the non-spring driveside leg, where the extra internal volume isn’t required. The externally butted ‘Power Bulge’ that helps support the bushing area also extends only 40mm down, while on the more highly stressed disc side it extends all the way down to the brake mount.\nThe seals have been changed to reduce breakaway friction, moving to a single lip seal while slotted (instead of solid) bushings allow oil to circulate and keep things lubricated.\nDespite outward similarities to the DLC and Black Gold extra-slippery coatings seen on various pro riders’ BlackBox development forks, the black finish on the upper legs is a purely cosmetic anodising. According to RockShoxproduct manager Jeremy Boobar the DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating used on BlackBox forks proved too inconsistent for mass production. The useful anodised sag gradients aid simple setup and there’s a choice of white painted crown and lower legs in addition to all black.\nThe Pike fork will be available from May and will cost from US$980 to US$1,085 (£779.99 to £849.99 or €878 to €949) depending on exact model.\nThe fork also debuts with the all-new Charger damper. The new sealed cartridge design uses an extruded bladder filled with 3wt oil that expands to contain the oil displaced by the fork as it moves through its travel. The design helps keep damping consistent by ensuring that no air mixes with the oil, even during rough and rapid descents.\nRockShox senior design engineer Damon Gilbert notes that the extruded design of the bladder results in consistent wall thickness, with no seams that could act as weak points. Gilbert said the service interval for the Charger damper is approximately 200 hours and the bleed process can be done in less than five minutes.\nThe Charger damper is available in RCT3 and RC models. The RCT3 offers Pedal and Lock efficiency settings, with an Open setting working on a separate damping circuit with independent low-speed compression adjustment. The simpler RC damper makes do with low-speed compression adjustment with Lock setting.\nWhile some might draw parallels with Fox’s CTD system, RockShox say they prefer to give the rider the option to adjust the feel of the fully open setting with separate low-speed damping adjustment, while having defined and fixed settings for pedalling performance. They accept that it’s possibly not as easy for novice riders to grasp how to tune the fork, but aim to work directly with consumers.\nRockShox plan to use social media and the internet to inform consumers on how to tweak their settings. They will also be using the five SRAM Technical Universities in Europe, the United States and Australia to help give dealers the requisite knowledge and setup skills.\nBoth versions of the Charger damper feature the Rapid Recovery rebound damping technology first seen on the 2012 Monarch RT3 rear shock. The system aims to keep the fork riding higher in its travel, preventing packing down on successive bumps. This is achieved by using the Dual Flow rebound system, which has separate, adjustable beginning stroke and fixed rate ending stroke rebound damping circuits.\nAlthough this technology has been on the RockShox product line for a while, Rapid Recovery uses a faster rate ending stroke rebound that has a set ‘blow off’ point (or more correctly, a digressive damping profile), allowing it to quickly re-extend in readiness for the next bump. A slower-than-usual beginning stroke rebound rate prevents an uncontrolled bucking feeling as the fork extends back to full travel.\nOn the spring side, the spring rate of the fork can be made more progressive by adding in ‘Bottomless Tokens’ – plastic spacers that fix to the air spring cap to reduce the air volume and aid the air spring’s natural ramp up towards the end of the travel. They can be threaded together to allow additional fine tuning.\nWhile the same result can be achieved by adding additional oil, it’s a simple, light and fuss-free way for anyone with fairly basic spanner skills to fine-tune the feel of the fork.\nThe quick-release, thru-axle Maxle Lite system has also undergone significant changes. Instead of fixing the axle in place by expanding at either end when closed, the new design uses a clamping action to secure it while the open lever cam is now enclosed.\nThese changes mean it should be less sensitive to dirt clogging the mechanism. The lever closure angle can be adjusted without tools, simply by depressing the lever and aligning anodised marks to the required position.\nThe Monarch Plus shock has been well received among enduro and all-mountain riders, offering a combination of light weight from the Solo Air spring and hard-hitting descending performance from the self-correcting anti-fade damper, which shares much in common with the Vivid Air downhill shock.\nFor 2014 the shock gains the Rapid Recovery rebound system thanks to the damping shaft diameter moving from 9 to 10mm, meeting the system’s need for greater oil flow.\nThe shock is also capable of running a broader range of pressures to cope with a wider variety of frame designs. The range of rebound adjustment has been doubled from 100lb (45kg) to 200lb (91kg) of difference, in addition to a greater compression flow rate.\nThe rebound adjuster itself has been updated and the air valve has switched sides and gone low profile, giving greater clearance and meaning the three-position, low-speed compression adjustment lever is more accessible. An increased negative air spring volume means that the initial third of the travel is now more supple than before.\nThe Monarch Plus shock will cost US$486 (£349.99/€435) when it becomes available in June 2013.\nUnder the baking Sedona sun, on a tricked-out, XX1-equipped Santa Cruz Tallboy LTc, it became immediately obvious that the Pike is a much stiffer and more direct affair than any previous RockShox 29er fork. It is more than a match for its rivals.\nThe secondary impression is that sensitivity is massively improved too, with the new negative spring giving the Monarch Plus shock a much more supple feel than previous models.\nTo help support the bike through corners and keep a spring in its step, we quickly settled on running the fork open, with a fair helping of low-speed compression, and the rear shock in the mid compression setting.\nWe left the fork pretty much alone after that – the Pedal setting significantly increases how firm the ride is and there was little in the way of smooth climbing where there was any advantage over the supportive yet supple Open setting.\nHowever, it became quickly apparent that the rebound settings we’d chosen based on previous experience were way out, instantly pinballing us all over the place as soon as we hit any compressions.\nThe Rapid Recovery rebound damping means that the initial ‘bounce test’ feel is slower than you’d expect, and we’d set it to feel like what we would normally expect.\nRockShox recommend that a good starting point is to set the shock two clicks slower than what you think it should be and, uncannily, that provided us with a setting that was spot on.\nFully set up, we got stuck into the mix of explosive sharp climbs, high-speed dust drifting and insanely grippy-but-rough rock riding the area is famous for.\n“If you take a really rough and rocky section of trail and ride back-to-back using one shock with Rapid Recovery and one without – which we have done many times during development – you will notice that you use less travel and the shock feels softer with the Rapid Recovery unit.\nBoth units had an uncanny ability to cope with smaller-sized rocky trail chatter while reserving the skill to cope with high G cornering and repeated heavy hits. All without wallowing about in the middle of the travel, particularly mid-corner.\nRapid Recovery provides the snap and pop out of corners and off lips that a running rapid rebound gives, without the uncontrolled big hit manners such a setup would display.\nThe Rapid Recovery endows an almost schizophrenic ability to use the right amount of travel at the right place and maintain a lively, fun and fast feel. Add in the fact that the Pike can easily increase or decrease how progressive the spring is and it’s a fork that will suit a vast number of riders and styles, from average trail riders to serious enduro racers.\nThe Monarch Plus was significantly quieter, with a less choked feeling on rapid, hard hits. Even our long-legged 29er Pike was made conspicuous by the absence of any twang or flex no matter how hard we pushed.\nTo say that we’re keen to spend more time on home trails giving the new fork and shock a more complete long term test is an understatement. The fork has the potential to be a serious rival to anything currently available. The Monarch Plus has brushed up its manners and genuinely delivers on the promise of downhill shock performance at trail bike weight. Both products are well on target for a segment of the mountain biking world that looks set to grow.\nWe will be interested to see how well the Pike copes with a liberal dousing of wet mud and grit, rather than the less aggressive dusty, dry conditions in Sedona. But the lack of oil mixed with the dust on the fork legs after a hard couple of days is a good sign.\nWe’d bet that its popularity continues with the addition of a 150mm travel option. That will be available only as a Stealth model for the 31.6mm and new 34.9mm diameter posts.\nOf interest to anyone with an internal hose routing will be the new ‘Connectamajig’ threaded hose coupler, which allows the hydraulic remote hose to be disconnected and reconnected about three times before the system needs bleeding.\nIt’s mostly aimed at making Stealth posts easier to fit when bikes are being assembled at a factory, but there’s no denying it will be a useful feature in many other circumstances.\nThe new options will be available from mid April and will cost US$455 (£299.99/€411).\nFor more information on RockShox products see www.sram.com. |

In fact, most writers working on either coast, or in Cleveland, Spokane, Omaha, Little Rock and everywhere in between would rightly argue that their home range is best.\nMy own current projects are set in Chicago, among some of the very same bus routes and neighborhoods Julie Hyzy — author of the White House Chef and the Manor Of Murder mystery series and the just-released thriller Virtual Sabotage — mentions in her Crime Reads piece “For Crime Writers, Chicago Is The Place To Be”. She isn’t cheerleading for the Windy City so much as pointing out what a surprisingly nurturing mystery/crime fiction community she’s discovered there. And if she did indeed wait at a CTA stop near Cook County Jail or ride the California Avenue bus south to the Marquette Park neighborhood commuting to high school, then she sliced right through a hunk of real Chicago: the southwest side’s ethnic blue collar bungalow belt. My in-progress ‘The Stiletto Gumshoe’ series is set primarily in Chicago’s Brighton Park neighborhood, just across the river and past the as-yet unbuilt expressway south of Cook County Jail, and immediately to the north of Ms. Hyzy’s high school destination. California Avenue – two lanes choked with cars and buses most of the way, sometimes residential, sometimes commercial, and unrelentingly brown bricked – is basically my novels’ eastern border. |
Just before you turn off the North Western motorway at Westgate there is a bright yellow steel pedestrian bridge crossing from near the shopping centre.\nOn Saturday morning we decided the rain would hold off for a few hours and that we would see what lay on the eastern side of the motorway, so we parked at the back of the shops and set off. At Oreil Ave we doubled back down towards the creek we had just crossed, and found a concrete path.\nThe track is quite pretty, but unfortunately the stream was rather stinky so we chose not to linger. After about half an hour we reached Moire Park, and we wandered around the perimeter for a while before heading back towards the Manutewhau stream (AKA Lawson’s Creek ).\nIt wasn’t long before we came to the long bright blue steel pedestrian bridge across to West Harbour Drive, the turn-around point of our trip. In the distance behind Felicity in the photo, you can just see the Auckland Harbour Bridge.\nYou might also notice the dark clouds in the sky; not long after we started back the rain stared and we had to put our ponchos on. We plan to see how far up the creek we can get in the kayaks one day, but I think we’ll eat elsewhere due to the pong!\nYou are checking out many new changes. Great bridge!\ngee you do get around you folks .im sure that if the source of the nile was in this country youd find it . |
Taking a page from its own history, Cartier’s Baignoire collection was inspired by Louis Cartier’s 1912 design, which stretched the traditional round watch into an oblong oval, resembling the shape of a bathtub—or a “baignoire.” Today, the brand has reworked the original Baignoire designs, presenting us with several variations of two models—the small model Baignoire watch and Allongée timepiece, which come in multiple size and color combinations. Our favorite? The white gold Allongée piece set with nearly 900 brilliant-cut sparkling diamonds. |

One of the important innovations is setting boundary time limits for the carrying out of investigations by the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine.\n– For all other types of violation – two years.\nAnother important innovation is the provision regarding the new “settlement” institution for Ukraine. Its essence is that the antimonopoly body and the defendant in the case agree on the voluntary recognition by the defendant of all or part of the charges, for which a reduced fine is imposed.\nAn entity can at any stage of the case, before the Committee draws up preliminary conclusions on the case, submit an application to the Antimonopoly Committee to settle the case. Following the request, consultations are held between the parties, and the terms of the settlement are agreed and, in the event of reaching an agreement, the parties signs the relevant agreement.\nIt should be mentioned that the agreement is subject to approval by an economic court in accordance with the jurisdiction rules, and should contain a condition for the unconditional recognition of the violations by the defendant in the case, and the amount of the fine, which should be 20 percent less than the amount of fine that would be calculated according to the general rules. This statutory provision is quite interesting, but although it is not completely clear how it will be consistent with procedural legislation.\nOne more interesting innovation is the prohibition by the Law on appeals by the defendant against decisions of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine taken in accordance with the terms of the settlement procedure.\nThe conditions of the reached settlement cannot be declared to be information with restricted access, and should be fully described in the relevant decision of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine in the case.\nThe law also proposes the extension and improvement of the procedure for exempting from liability violations in the form of concerted actions, if persons have appealed to the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine to declare that they recognize the violation. Complete exemption from liability for the first person applying is currently provided.\n• A reduction of the fine by 20 percent for all others.\nA more detailed description of the rights of case participants and defendants are specified by the Law. In particular, there is a clearly defined right to ask the antimonopoly bodies and obtain justified answers, the right to familiarize themselves with the case file (including the right to copy these materials), etc.\nThe issue of the adoption of preliminary conclusions in the case, and lodge objections to them, are also regulated more clearly.\nAn important change is the fact that the Law now establishes a minimum period of one month from the date of receipt of preliminary conclusions, during which objections should be filed (currently this period is 10 days), as well as a maximum period for which the term for submission of objections on the person’s application may be extended – up to three months.\nIn general, the Law is very important for the further development of antitrust regulation in Ukraine, and therefore we hope for its early signing by the president and for it to be published. |
The Corpora inSi(gh)te exhibition was shown at the Yamaguchi Center for Art & Media, between 13th October 2007 and 13th January 2008.\nIn “Corpora in Si(gh)te” a number of sensors are setup forming a meshnetwork throughout the area of YCAM in order to collect and distribute realtime environmental information such as temperature, brightness, humidity, wind direction and sound. The data collected from these sources are processed by a software and translated into nodes reflecting the sensor network. These nodes are the seeds for the virtual architecture of “Corpora” representing a cellular, distributed network of nodes that are reacting through realtime processing, growing and subsiding like an organism. Each node makes local decisions independently of a central architect. The nodes inadvertently give rise to an architectural structure, both in the YCAM building and in the park. This “information architecture” of nodes has its own spatial perception to make itself transform into various forms by relying on the super-eye concept. The fluid character of this architecture occurs as a living form. Visitors can observe this process by Augmented Reality Technology, located in various parts of YCAM.\nSee the project documentation site for more details on Corpora inSi(gh)te at YCAM. |
• STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Longtime educator and St. George resident Ruth Baker, 95, died Friday at Huntington Hospital in Huntington, L.I., from complications of pneumonia following surgery at Richmond University Medical Center to repair a hip fracture she sustained last month.??<p>Born Ruth Blum on Staten Island, she grew up in Port Richmond, graduated from PS 20 and Port Richmond High School, and earned a bachelor degree in education from New York University.??<p>Mrs. Baker was licensed as an elementary education teacher in 1941, and assigned to PS 36 in Annadale as a kindergarten teacher. She taught at the school until 1972, and served as principal for the last several years of her tenure there. The PTA and Annadale community honored her with a special retirement party in recognition of her service as a mainstay for 26 years. Many former students attended the event, including her son, Howard, who was enrolled at the school from kindergarten through 4th grade.?<p>"Mrs. Baker's Kindergarten was a special place where local school children received their first exposure to formal education, and her classroom provided a warm, fun, caring, and stimulating environment," her son recalled. "An annual spring highlight was the Class Fair students wore costumes they made, played games, and displayed their artwork. At this time, PS 36 was a small, one-class-per-grade schoolhouse," he said.??<p>Mrs. Baker moved from PS 36 to PS 22, where she mentored younger teachers.??<p>When her husband, Abraham, served in the U.S. Army in the Pacific during WW II, Mrs. Baker lived with her parents in Port Richmond. She and her husband moved to Randall Manor in 1948, and to St. George in 1982.??<p>Mrs. Baker was a lifetime member of Temple Emanu-El in Port Richmond, and a long-time member of its Board of Trustees and Sisterhood. At the time of her death, she was the congregation's recording secretary. At the temple's 100th anniversary celebration in 2007, she was honored for her lifetime of devoted service to the synagogue. Her parents, Sidney and Blanche Blum, and grandparents, Jacob and Annie Reitman, were among Temple Emanu-El's earliest members.??<p>Mrs. Baker and her husband, Abraham, were founding members of the Island Swim Club.??<p>After retiring from teaching in 1980, she served as an active volunteer for many years at S.I. Hospital and Snug Harbor Cultural Center. She also served on the board of directors of the 50 Fort Place Cooperative, Inc., in St. George.??<p>In 1997, Mrs. Baker became the first volunteer at the Museum of American Finance on Wall Street in Manhattan. "Due in large part to her warm and friendly manner, the Museum always recorded more donations from tourists and visitors on the days when she was on duty," said her son.??<p>She also participated in United Federation of Teachers courses and programs for retired teachers, and enjoyed cooking, knitting, and the theater. Until her passing, she held special status as the "senior member" at Baker-Blumin family reunions.??<p>Her husband of 57 years, Abraham, died in 1996.??<p>In addition to her son, Howard, Mrs. Baker is survived by one granddaughter and two great-grandchildren.??<p>The funeral service is tomorrow at 11 a.m. at Temple Emanu-El, followed by burial at Baron Hirsch Cemetery, Graniteville. Arrangements are being handled by Menorah Chapels, New Springville.? |
