I hope every one of you is remembering Erasmus Brosdau and his „The Lord Inquisitor“ Project. Erasmus is a young animation specialist who made a deal with Games Workshop that he is allowed to make a movie in the W40k universe as long as he does not make any money or profit with it. What he produced was this short but impressive prologue.\nUnfortunately, he announced a few weeks ago that he would stop the project to found his own company and make a series based on his own SciFy universe. I was unfortunate actually when I heard this as the prologue of the lord inquisitor looked just fantastic, and the characters shown in the prologue had personality and style. Also, it was my hope of a good 40k movie.\nAnyway, we have to accept his decision especially as GW did not make things very easy for him. Fior example he was not allowed to take any material support for his work, which meant no money and no equipment only practical help from animators who had to do this for free, and everyone who has a bit of idea about a proper animation know how much work this is. |
Every year, thousands of people avoid seeing the dentist because they are too afraid of what might happen. For some, there is a fear of losing teeth that are decaying. For others, it may be an aversion to the sights, sounds, and sensations associated with some dental procedures. Whatever the case, avoiding the dentist can make a bad situation worse – there has to be an answer to this dilemma.\nSome people try simply to force themselves to be tough, but this is rarely a good solution, and usually fails. The best way to handle dental anxiety is to be open about your fears, and know that you are certainly not alone. Hearing about the solutions that are available to you can put you back in control again, knowing that you have options.\nOne of the most common options we recommend for patients with severe dental anxiety is sedation dentistry. This is not a new practice, and in fact we have been offering sedation dentistry for our patients for more than three decades. Sedation dentistry can give you a relaxed, comfortable dental experience that will leave you with a positive impression of what dental visits are like.\nWhen you inquire about sedation dentistry, Dr. Rye will talk you through how it works so that you can fully understand every step of the process. He will also answer any questions you have and address any fears or concerns that are troubling you. You and Dr. Rye will work together to find a solution that you’re comfortable with, and that will allow you to get the dental treatments you need or want.\nFor most patients, sedation dentistry is a painless process. Although you will not be unconscious, you will be very relaxed and comfortable. You will be monitored while you are sedated to make sure that you remain in the proper relaxed state for the duration of your procedure.\nOf course, as with any other type of sedation, you will need someone to ensure that you get to our office safely, and back home again afterward. Even though you will wake up feeling refreshed, the sedative used for dentistry is quite potent, and for safety reasons you will certainly not be able to drive.\nFor more than thirty years we have helped patients who have needed assistance with dental anxiety. Don’t let your fears keep you from seeking treatment – contact us today. |

Texas has some of the strictest laws in the nation, but despite that, it is not uncommon for residents to push their luck by breaking the law. One way Texans routinely break the law is by drinking and driving.\n10,024 to 12,150 serious injuries that stemmed from an alcohol-related accident.\nSuburbs have a high number of DWI crashes and injuries as well, with college towns ranking high up on the list of dangerous locales. Though the numbers fluctuate a bit from year to year, they remain more or less the same.\nIf you were injured by a drunk driver in Texas, or if a loved one was killed by a drunk driver, you are not without options. The law provides a way for injured parties to pursue compensation from the negligent party and his or her insurance company via a personal injury claim or, if your injuries are bad enough, a lawsuit. Not only can you help yourself by filing a claim, but you can also help the state fight back against drunk drivers and keep them off our roads.\nFiling a personal injury claim against a drunk driver is no different than filing a claim against a sober negligent driver. The only difference is that there may be more at stake, as drunk driving accidents are often far worse than standard accidents.\nIf you or a loved one was injured or killed in an alcohol related car accident, do not just stand by and do nothing. You have rights to compensation and justice. Uphold those rights and contact an experienced Dallas car accident lawyer regarding your case right away. You have limited time to file a claim, so the sooner you reach out to a lawyer, the better. Call Clark Law Group today to get started. |
MakeMe is a modern replacement for the venerable make and the not so popular autoconf tool. It manages the building of programs and products by direct compilation and the generation of IDE projects and Makefiles. MakeMe can portably build programs for Linux, Mac and Windows and handles cross-compilation with ease.\nMakeMe files specify targets. These can be source files, libraries, executables or other actions to run. MakeMe has built-in rules to compile source code, build libraries, create executables, copy files, build packages and generate IDE projects. So, typically, you need to type very little to do the common tasks of building.\nMakeMe files can intelligently inherit global settings for a project and can override or augment values locally. MakeMe files run with a current directory set to that of the '.me' file itself, so it can easily reference local resources. MakeMe projects are easy to relocate and avoid absolute directory references except for global tool chain programs and directories.\nMakeMe also provides a "configure" capability where it searches for required and optional tools for building. MakeMe also supports cross-platform and cross-compilation building.\nMany projects rely on autoconf to configure products and 'make' to build. But autoconf is a baroque maze of scripts and make provides too little support for easily building executables and libraries in a cross platform manner. Further, neither of these tools work well for Windows and embedded platforms like VxWorks. Consequently, creating portable Makefiles and autoconf scripts that will work on a variety of platforms and support cross compilation is an exercise in patience. Often the result is slow, fragile build systems, especially on Windows.\nMakeMe replaces both autoconf and make with a single utility. MakeMe provides a higher level of abstraction to easily specify the targets to build (libraries and executables) and can build directly on Linux, Mac OS X or Windows and cross compile for other platforms. It will generate native projects for Visual Studio, XCode, Make and Nmake projects. MakeMe builds fast without the complexity of autoconf and make.\nMakeMe was initiated after evaluating Make, CMake and GYP for use by the Appweb and Ejscript projects in an embedded, cross compilation environment. While all three alternatives can be made to work, we (Embedthis) were expending too large a percentage of our time on the build system and less on the actual products. Out of this frustration, MakeMe was born. We do not expect MakeMe to be a universal replacement for Make or Autoconf for everyone, but for some users with needs similar to our own, it may be an excellent choice.\nHere is a quick list of differences between MakeMe and Make. These are broad, sweeping, and opinionated comments. Hopefully, with a grain of truth.\nMakefiles don't aggregate well. Make provides little support for combining makefiles. It offers bare facilities for inheriting and overriding project parameters in an orderly fashion. Large projects often use recursive makefiles, but these have many well documented issues. Trying to combine Makefiles from different products is typically not possible. MakeMe creates a single, unified view of how to build an entire product. The product may be comprised of many MakeMe files, but these are combined in a well-defined manner. Lower-level MakeMe files can inherit properties from upper levels and easily locally override settings as required.\nMakeMe is pre-programmed with default compiler and linker switches to achieve common tasks. With make, you have to add the switches yourself.\nMakeMe provides in-built understanding of how to build common targets like libraries and executables. With make, you have to specifically express the link command lines.\nMakefiles are often a mess. MakeMe files are terse and because MakeMe has a high-level understanding of how to build libraries and executables, you don't have to repeat common boiler-plate rules.\nMake and autoconf try to run on every possible Unix, but don't run on Windows (except for Cygwin which is too unreliable for production use). MakeMe supports the major Unix flavors: Linux, BSD and Mac OS X. But it also supports Windows with ease.\nAutoconf is incomprehensible. Just Google™ "hate autoconf". It is a mess of legacy shell scripts that try to address building on all possible systems. but Autoconf fails at building simply and well on the common platforms. MakeMe does not try to create the universal config.h header to mange obscure C compilers. It instead focuses on the dominant platforms. MakeMe provides an open, plugin framework for searching for components. This makes it easy to configure a build based on the components available on the target computer.\nMakeMe is fast — typically much faster than autoconf and make. Because it uses Ejscript internally, file copy and script commands can be executed without spawning a shell. This also means that you can have a uniform scripting environment on Windows. |

When people Co-Create (or collaborate to generate new ideas and content), the activity is supported by individual work done before and after the co-creation activity.\nUsed together, Cove and Haven Settings provide optimal support for collaborative activities that spark creativity.\nVisual artifacts, which can be as simple as sketches on a whiteboard, serve as “critical sites of collaboration,” and can help teams innovate faster.\nProspect, which includes both Creative Spaces for group work and Solo Spaces for individual work and features whiteboards, tackable surfaces, and media display, is uniquely suited to the work of teams, particularly those that are charged with being innovative.\nSo should people who want to innovate work together or alone? The answer is both. To understand why, it helps to know a little about human nature and a little about the nuances of collaboration.\nAn understanding of the six fundamental human needs informed Herman Miller’s development of Living Office.\nAt Herman Miller, we know from research that people have six fundamental human needs: achievement, autonomy, belonging, purpose, security, and status.7 Our understanding of those needs helped us develop Living Office. This research-based approach to placemaking provides a framework for creating a purposeful variety of settings based on people’s needs and daily work activities. Although people do a myriad of activities throughout the day, our research groups these behaviors into 10 types. Three are categories of activities that people do alone; seven are activities people do together. While in the past, any sort of group activity was deemed “collaboration,” we now know that people work together in many different ways.\nCo-creation needs settings that support individual work and group work.\nCo-creation is of special interest because it is a particular type of collaboration—the type that can lead to innovation. The fundamental human needs of achievement (striving for excellence and pride in accomplishment) and belonging (the desire for a meaningful connection to others) are particularly relevant to co-creation. The need for achievement can motivate people to come up with new ideas. And a strong sense of belonging puts them at ease among their colleagues, which can make it easier for them to share their ideas.\nSettings for individual and group work are both needed to support co-creation. Teams need the ability to gather quickly when inspiration strikes, but the individuals on the team also need a place to prepare for the group work and to carry out individual tasks needed to realize ideas.\n1. Remove distractions to increase focus.\n3. Provide a safe space for creativity.\n6. Put the tools close to the work.\n7. Support creativity together and alone.\nHavens give people a place to escape distraction and focus on individual work.\nAlthough there are many different settings in which people can successfully innovate, taken together, the Haven and the Cove are two settings that create the ideal conditions for co-creating that can lead to innovation.\nA Haven is a small shelter where a person can do focused work without distraction. It can be an enclosed room or a semi-sheltered or screened-in space out in the open, and ideally it’s easy for people to locate and identify.\nA Cove is a compact space close to individual workpoints or common areas that enables people to get together and interact for short periods of time. In some cases, a Cove includes enough boundary that the people using it won’t disrupt others working close by.\nEach setting plays a role in supporting co-creation. The Haven gives a person space to focus and think, and the Cove gives the team a place to gather, share, and build on each other’s thinking. The proximity of these settings to each other is also critical to the task of co-creation. People must be able to move easily between these two kinds of settings, as dictated by the kind of work they need to do.\nWith its semicircular design and its whiteboards and tackable surfaces, Prospect is mission control for group and individual creativity.\nWhile Havens and Coves can be designed with a variety of products, Herman Miller’s Prospect was intentionally designed to support both, and it supports the seven core characteristics of co-creation.\nProspect is a portfolio of semicircular freestanding furniture designed to support creativity together and alone, allowing small teams and individuals to naturally transition between working together (in Creative Spaces, which create Coves) and on their own (in Solo Spaces, which create Havens). It features whiteboards, tackable surfaces, and media display, making it easy for people to share their thoughts visually and for the team to build on ideas and take them to the next level. In a way, it’s mission control for group and individual creativity.\nCreative Spaces support the visual thinking, iteration, and collaboration that are proven ways of getting to the right questions and better answers. Inside the Creative Space, sharing ideas is as easy as turning around and scribbling on a whiteboard or pinning up work to review.\nProspect provides a sense of visual privacy—and that can make team members more comfortable about sharing offbeat ideas.\nThe design of the Prospect Table and Stools promotes equal participation: the height puts sitting and standing team members at the same eye level. Meanwhile, the shape (round, so it has no sides) and size of the table encourages active engagement. Because people can sit or stand, Prospect also encourages postural variety and gets people moving. According to research conducted at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, “groups working together on a project while standing are measurably more engaged and less territorial than while seated.”12 The Stools store neatly under the table.\nTaken together, the size of the structure and table create a proximal relationship between people using the space and the tools within it, which puts everyone close to the tools and the work. People can grab what they need and write on the surrounding white board simply by reaching out. The ledge is designed for leaning, giving people another postural choice, as well as a spot to hold phones or coffee cups so that people can reach them without disengaging from the discussion. The sections of the interior structure can be changed to either use them as a white board or allow work to be tacked up.\nSolo Spaces are ideal for individual creative work or simply a place to settle in and tackle a quick task that requires quiet or concentration. The round shape offers visual privacy—unique within an open floorplan—and the soft, sound-absorbing acoustic pads create a peaceful spot for working.\nThe impetus for this “both/and” design came from designer Richard Holbrook’s observations of forward-thinking workplace strategies around the globe. He wanted to design something specifically to support best practices in creativity so that people wouldn’t have to develop work-arounds like foam core boards in traditional conference rooms. He didn’t want people to have to go home in order to find a place where they could do the individual, focused work that collaboration also requires.\n“Today,” he says, “with so many challenging problems to solve, it seems to me that we can all certainly benefit from more creativity, more connection, and better collaboration.” Prospect gives organizations a graceful way to achieve that.\n"Today, with so many challenging problems to solve, it seems to me that we can all certainly benefit from more creativity, more connection, and better collaboration."\n1.

It used to be a loopy method to win global warfare II within the Pacific— all of the usa needed to do used to be to connect small incendiary bombs to hundreds of thousands of bats and free up them over Japan's significant towns. because the bats went to roost, 1000000 fires could flare up in distant crannies of the wooden and paper constructions universal all through Japan. whilst their towns have been decreased to ashes, the japanese might absolutely capitulate... The plan made experience to a handful of eccentric promoters and researchers, who confident most sensible army brass or even President Roosevelt to again the scheme. it could possibly have labored, other than that one other mystery weapon—something to do with atoms—was selected to finish the battle. advised the following via the youngest member of the staff, this can be the tale of the bat bomb venture, or venture X-Ray, because it was once formally recognized. In scenes valuable of a Capra or Hawks comedy, Jack Couffer recounts the unorthodox experiments conducted within the secrecy of Bandera, Texas; Carlsbad, New Mexico; and El Centro, California, in 1942-1943 by means of "Doc" Adams' deepest military. This oddball solid of characters incorporated an eccentric inventor, a unique Harvard scientist, a biologist with a chip on his shoulder, a film famous person, a Texas guano collector, a crusty Marine Corps colonel, a Maine lobster fisherman, an ex-mobster, and a tiger. to not be defeated via minor logistical hurdles, the bat bomb researchers risked lifestyles and limb to discover uncharted bat caves and "recruit" hundreds of thousands of bats to serve their state. via months of character conflicts, army snafus, and technical mess ups the group pressed on, convinced that bats may well finish the battle with Japan. and they would have—in their first airborne try out, the bat bombers burned a whole brand-new army airfield to the floor. for everybody who relishes real stories of motion and experience, Bat Bomb is a must-read. Bat fanatics also will observe the beginnings of the medical research of bats.\nWithin the a hundred years because the Defence of Duffer's waft used to be first released in nice Britain, the face of recent struggle has replaced dramatically. yet what haven't replaced a great deal are the options of small unit strategies: flooring is held, structures are searched, and person enemy opponents are killed or captured by way of males with rifles.\nIn 1940, the Polish Underground desired to recognize what was once occurring contained in the lately opened Auschwitz focus camp. Polish military officer Witold Pilecki volunteered to be arrested by means of the Germans and stated from contained in the camp. His intelligence reviews, smuggled out in 1941, have been one of the first eyewitness debts of Auschwitz atrocities: the extermination of Soviet POWs, its functionality as a camp for Polish political prisoners, and the "final answer" for Jews.\nIn September 1756, fifty American squaddies trigger on a regimen reconnaissance close to Lake George, decided to protect the higher reaches of the hot York colony. stuck in a devastating ambush through French and local warriors, just a handful of colonials made it again alive. towards the tip of the French and Indian struggle, one other crew of survivors, lengthy feared lifeless, lower back domestic, having persisted years of grim captivity one of the local and French population of Canada. |

All visits to Cueva Pintada must be guided visits so you have to book in advance. You can reserve your time by calling 928 895 746.\nMany years of careful excavation, interpretation and preservation were required before the Cueva Pintada and the pre-Hispanic village remains could be opened to the general public again. The inauguration of this site has been one of the most important events over the last few years in Gran Canaria and is significant for tourism in the North of the island.\nThe Museum and Archaeological Site of Cueva Pintada is the end result, as it stands, following 24 years of excavation and careful preservation of an enormous archaeological reserve. The building of the museum itself was raised around the remains of the original aborigine settlement that constitutes one of the greatest values of cultural heritage to be found on the island, a relic of times long gone before the Europeans arrived to colonise. The site and the Museum afford a vision of the houses and caves of the original inhabitants of the islands, to be observed from a large raised passageway that takes you round the whole perimeter of the site without affecting its integrity.\nThe museum takes its name from the most spectacular part of the rock paintings, in the Cueva Pintada (meaning Painted Cave). These are the typical symbols and geometric figures that now represent Canary culture and which can be observed thanks to a careful and select work of interpretation and preservation.\nThese paintings are an important legacy of the original inhabitants and led the site to be declared a Historical-Artistic Monument in 1972. The main cave is artificial and is excavated into the volcanic tuff stone with the walls decorated with friezes of geometric motifs.\nThe Archaeological Excavation site around the Cueva Pintada in Gáldar, in the North-West of the island, is the combined work and effort of many people who are wholeheartedly devoted to preserving the legacy of the original culture on the Island.\nThis is a must for anyone who is interested in the past of these volcanic islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.\nThe Museum and Archaeological Excavation Site of Cueva Pintada in Gáldar is an example of a “museification” of a live excavation and, as such, there is a whole wealth of parallel activities, of research and workshops, publications and the like, which has turned the new institution into an important hub of scientific and cultural know-how on the island. |

According to a study reported in Energy Research & Social Science, failure to reduce the energy consumption by Bitcoin and analogous Blockchain designs can prevent countries from fulfilling their climate change mitigation commitments under the Paris Agreement.\nJon Truby, PhD, Assistant Professor, Director of the Centre for Law & Development, College of Law, Qatar University, Doha, Qatar, authored the study, which assesses the legal and financial options available to lawmakers to regulate the energy consumption of blockchain technologies and nurture an innovative and sustainable technology sector. Considering this stringent analysis and review of the jurisdictional case law and practices, technologies and ownership models, the article proposes a method that imposes new charge, taxes, or constraints to lower the demand by miners, miner manufacturers, and users who use polluting technologies, and also provides incentives that inspire developers to produce Blockchain that is less energy-intensive and carbon-neutral.\nDigital currency mining is the first major industry developed from Blockchain, because its transactions alone consume more electricity than entire nations. It needs to be directed towards sustainability if it is to realize its potential advantages.\nBlockchain technology is a digital ledger that is used and trusted by all participants. It decentralizes and changes the exchange of assets via peer-to-peer substantiation and payments. It has been advocated that Blockchain technology can deliver social and environmental benefits under the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN. Yet, the system of Bitcoin has been developed in such a way that it reminds of physical mining of natural resources – as the system reaches the final resource limit, efforts and costs rise while the mining of novel resources needs more and more hardware resources, which use a great deal of electricity.\nPutting this concept into perspective, Dr. Truby stated, “the processes involved in a single Bitcoin transaction could provide electricity to a British home for a month – with the environmental costs socialized for private benefit.\nRegistration fees gathered by brokers from digital coin buyers.\nGreen taxes and limitations on machinery imports/purchases (for example, Bitcoin mining machines).\nDr. Truby said that while these discoveries may lead to new charges, taxes, or constraints, they may also result in financial rewards for innovators creating carbon-neutral Blockchain. |

Hilton.\nReplays showed he might have stepped out of bounds short along the sideline, but the play stood after a review, putting the ball at the Toledo 42-yard line.\nMoments later, Wes Carroll found Greg Ellingson across the middle to the Toledo 22, helping set up the final kick for the Golden Panthers (7-6).\nToledo (8-5) had taken the lead with 1:14 remaining on a touchdown run by Terrance Owens and a 2-point conversion pass to Eric Page, but that was only part of a delirious finish.\nFIU, in only its ninth season of football, trailed 24-7 in the third quarter before Hilton returned a kickoff 89 yards for a touchdown.\nThe Panthers went on to score 24 straight points, taking a 28-24 lead on Hilton’s 10-yard touchdown catch and adding a field goal with 3:18 remaining.\nOwens, who had thrown three interceptions in the second half, patiently led Toledo on a 62-yard drive that ended when he kept the ball himself for a 14-yard touchdown run, then found Page on a slant pattern to put the Rockets ahead.\nFIU wasn’t done, though. The Panthers took over near midfield after Toledo went with a squib kick to keep the ball away from Hilton. Although a sack knocked FIU back, the Panthers still had one trick play left. After Hilton took the pitch from a teammate near the middle of the field, he cut toward his team’s sideline, trying to reach the first-down marker.\nThe initial ruling was that he made it, and the officials didn’t overturn it after the review.\nIt was a spectacular finish for a program that began the season dealing with tragedy after running back Kendall Berry was stabbed to death on campus.\nFIU made the transition to what is now called the Football Bowl Subdivision in 2005, but the team has seldom had a chance to celebrate like this. Three years ago, FIU finally snapped a 23-game losing streak, and the program also had to deal with the fallout from a 2006 brawl against Miami.\nDarriet Perry ran for 132 yards and two touchdowns for the Panthers.\nAdonis Thomas rushed for a career-high 193 yards and two touchdowns for the Rockets, including an 87-yard touchdown run as Toledo built a 21-7 halftime lead. |
Li, Z. (2002). Pre-attentive segmentation and correspondence in stereo. Perception, 31(3): 9, 378.\nTraditional stereo grouping models (eg Marr and Poggio, 1976 Science 15 283 - 287) have focused on the stereo correspondence problem the matching of the corresponding monocular inputs to obtain 3-D depth. Correct stereo correspondence is responsible for, eg, disparity capture (the propagation of depth information from the boundaries to the centre of a depth plane to break, eg, the wallpaper illusion), and (depth) transparency. V2 cells were recently observed to exhibit disparity capture via contextual influences (Bakin et al, 2000 Journal of Neuroscience 20 8188 ^ 8198). Recent physiological data, however, revealed additional unexpected stereo grouping behaviour. Some V2 cells increase their responses to stimuli of their preferred depth when the stimuli within their receptive fields are at or near the boundary of a depth surface (von der Heydt et al, 2000 Vision Research 40 1955 ^ 1967). Such highlights to depth edges are seemingly not required computationally merely to solve the correspondence problem. Computationally, these highlights make the boundaries of a depth surface more salient, serving pre-attentive segmentation and attracting visual attention. In special cases, they enable the psychophysically observed perceptual pop-out of a target from a background of visually identical distractors at a different depth. To achieve the highlights, mutual inhibition between disparity-selective cells tuned to the same or similar depths is required. However, such mutual inhibition should impede the computation for the correspondence problem, which requires mutual excitation, instead, between the same cells. In this work, I introduce the first computational model to address both stereo correspondence and pre-attentive stereo segmentation. The computational mechanisms in the model are based on intracortical interactions in V2. I demonstrate that the model captures the following physiological and psychophysical phenomena: (i) depth edge highlighting, (ii) disparity capture, (iii) pop-out, and (iv) transparency. |

This year’s Geneva Motor Show has been littered with fantastic cars and concepts, some that even cost nearly $2 million.\nNope, these spherical-shaped beauties have us all fascinated here at Daily News Autos. The concept tires are for autonomous cars, and Goodyear hopes they will literally reshape the future of self-driving. The idea couldn’t have come at a better time as self-driving cars were in desperate need of a rebound.\nEach tire is a different concept and different name, the Eagle-360 and the Intelligrip to be exact. The Eagle-360 was designed with maneuverability and connectivity in mind while the Intelligrip features advanced sensor and treadwear technology. Each tire has one main feature in mind – safety, which is the biggest concern surrounding the autonomous vehicle craze.\nThe spherical-shaped Eagle-360 tires were designed with manueverability and connectivity in mind.\nThe Intelligrip was designed to communicate with autonomous vehicle control systems, which would help sense road surfaces and weather conditions. It can also assess the condition of the vehicle with tis advanced active wear technology.\nThe spherical-shaped Eagle-360 is particularly interesting, and you can find out all about it in the above video. Who knew that after two days of supercars, luxurious rides, and American muscle, we would be talking about concept tires? We think Goodyear might have known. |
This page is dedicated to my current journey in academic research. In short, my research is about investigating the possibility of a new image of Islamic art and design that challenges the cliché impression of it, without divorcing it from the profound principles of faith.\nLong time ago, Muslims’ life emerged from the strong connection between spirituality and faith. Art used to express this connection, layering profound dimensions within decorative and spatial forms... With time, this connection started to break... and what we see today is soul-less imitations of the past... One can trace the same geometry used in sculptures, interior floors, all the way to architecture... Young Muslim designers include the same patterns on their work in an attempt to “islamise” it! This phenomenon has been described as “attraction-repulsion’ symptom; so the current situation is divided between two conflicting sides: traditionalists who are too attached to history to see an evolving image of it and modernists who encourage extremely new concepts for creative expression.\nSo I am questioning through my research if there is any place in between? Can Muslim artists/ designers create innovative works that revive this rapport with spirituality and other hidden dimensions? Can a Set of Religious Principles Become the Generative Source for Innovative and Contemporary Art and Design Concepts?\nAlthough my PhD journey is still at the beginning, everyday I become more convinced that in many levels, my research represents who I am today, and what I stand for. I am a Muslim designer, curator and teacher. I practice my religion, however I am immersed in a globalized world ... I am still looking in the creative field for basis that outlines my identity, and an expression that represents who I am today.\nSo through a practice-based approach, I will summarize a set of principles and examine its validity to be a basis for innovative and creative expression of the religion. I intend to record my creative process through a visual diary that goes hand in hand with the written text of my research. For research methodology, I am adapting a collaborative approach to investigate my research topic, by curating multi-disciplinary groups that will put theory into practice. This will allow “my voice” in research to speak of a “collective mindset” rather than an individual one.\nI am hoping that the end of my research could spark opportunities in design education. Being a teacher myself I believe that education has the power to create a change in perceptions and mindsets and perhaps this set of principles could be adapted in curriculums of Islamic art and design... So from where I stand now it seems it’s too massive to include all in one PhD, but PhD is just a beginning of a life-long experiment. |
This beautifully converted Kent-style oast house is packed full of contemporary style but with tasteful use of brickwork exposure and beams throughout, creating a stunning blend of old and new looks.\nThis traditional Sussex oast house is situated on the outskirts of the rural village of Hurst Green. This small village has a shop which is situated in a converted church, so you can buy the newspapers and morning milk. As the property is situated in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are many pretty villages nearby and some interesting historic properties nearby. The National Trust property of Batemans, which was once home to Rudyard Kipling, and where he wrote The Jungle Book is within a ten minute drive of the property, as is the imposing castle at Bodiam.\nThe front door of the property opens straight into the stunning lounge with its high ceilings and exposed beams. Here you will find two comfortable sofas, a beautiful Ottoman sideboard and a vintage armoire. There is a TV with DVD player, which comes with a range of DVDs. Leading off from the lounge, is the dining room, with its feature wall and table seating eight. A small corridor leading off from the other end of the lounge leads to the kitchen, with its two distinct areas. The cooking area has the electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge and freezer, whilst the second area is where you will find the washing machine, dishwasher and sink. Doors off from the kitchen lead out to the courtyard garden, with table and chairs. There is one bedroom on the ground floor, which is located in the oast’s roundel. There is a zip-and-link king-size bed, which can be made up as two singles should you prefer, and a TV. There is also a bathroom on this floor, with shower over bath. Stairs from the lounge lead to a mezzanine floor, with desk and work area, overlooking the lounge. To the first floor, you will find the master bedroom suite, a true sanctuary with king-size bed, its own TV and stunning en-suite which is located in the roundel and features a bath with handheld shower and a further separate shower with glass gates.\nThe property’s gardens are beautiful and feature a lovely garden room with sofa and chairs with views over the surrounding countryside. Close to here is an established wild garden and then there is a courtyard area to the front of the property with table, chairs and a BBQ.\nWe had a fantastic long weekend stay in the Oust house, it was equipped with everything you could ask for. The only downside is the noisy road, but we were aware of this when we booked. We didn't find it a major issue and once in the house didn't notice it too much. We would certainly recommend this property.\nA well kitted out and tastefully furnished property with fantastic views across the Weald. The round bathroom, in the converted past house, certainly has a wow factor. The only down side is the A21, you take your life in your hands every time you drive out of the property and there is the constant noise of the traffic.\nBeautifully restored property - equipped to a high standard. Wonderful views from the garden. Private gated entrance. Downside is the noise from the main A12, & the risky exit from the driveway.\nAmazing property with large garden and lovely views, also well located. Probably the best we have stayed at!\nNice views from the garden. The A21 is a big downside though, very noisy day and Night.\nBeautifully refurbished property with a lot of thought given to the guests comfort. It was immaculate, very well equipped and lovely to come back to at the end of the day.\nThe Oast itself is all one could wish for as a holiday retreat. The one big drawback is its location on a very noisy main road and the exit from the property is on a blind bend where traffic approaches at about 50mph so you take your life in your hands (Literally) every time you pull out.\nThe property is a nice conversion from its original use. Pleasant and comfortable, also well equipped with everything you will need. The garden is also interesting and a lovely place to be with nice views over the Sussex Weald. We had a very pleasant stay. All in all well worth the money. |

It has been a long time since we have seen a new version of Windows Server. It is hard to believe that it has been five years since Windows Server 2003 was released. Well this year we can stop waiting. Windows Server 2008 went RTM this month and now we all have access to the final bits. It has been a long time coming and Microsoft has put a great amount of work into Windows Server 2008 to make it the best Windows ever.\nThousands of changes have been made in Windows Server 2008 compared to Windows Server 2003. Some are very small, but some are quite significant. But the question on everyone’s mind is what does Windows Server 2008 provide to make it a worthwhile upgrade? That is the focus in this article.\nThere are far too many changes for me to cover in a single article, so I have selected those features and capabilities that I think make Windows Server 2008 a worthwhile upgrade. Other people will look at the changes in Windows Server 2008 and think that I should have mentioned some of the other changes. That is fair, but here I am going to talk about the big changes, the changes that will make your life better and hopefully also make your users happier.\nWindows Server 2008 includes an entirely new management interface known as the Server Manager. The Server Manager is a one stop shop for configuring, managing, and monitoring the server. This is not like the Server Manager’s you might have used in the past; this one actually works and its one that you will use everyday when managing your Windows Server 2008 machines.\nIn the Server Manager, you can install Server Roles (such as DNS, DHCP, Active Directory) and Role services (such as Terminal Services Gateway and RRAS). When the Server Roles and Role Services are installed, the MMC consoles for these services are installed in the Server Manager. You no longer need to create your own custom MMCs!\nThe Server Manager also exposes the new and improved Event Viewer. This is not your father’s old event viewer with just System, Security and Application nodes. Windows Server 2008 Event Viewer provides you with Event Logs you can use. There are the usual Windows Event Logs: Application, Security, and System. But now you have the ability to see Events for all applications and services installed on the computer. In addition, you can create Custom Views of the Event Logs, so that you can create your own containers for Events based on filters that you choose.\nOne of the new Event Log features that I like the most is the ability to Subscribe to Events on other machines on the network. This allows you to collect Event Log data from other machines, based on filters that you provide. In this way, you can configure filters for Critical Events for the most important servers on your network. While lacking the sophistication of a full fledged monitoring solution like System Center Operations Manager, it is a very nice built in monitoring solution for those companies that do not want to shell out for SCOM.\nWindows Server 2008 can be installed in one of two ways: full installation or server core. The Server Core installation installs a subset of binaries that are required to get the core operating system running. No optional services are installed or enabled. There is no user interface other than the command line. There is no Windows Explorer shell, and all configuration must be done locally at the command line, or remotely using the MMC console or the new Windows Remote Shell (WinRS) remote management application (similar to SSH).\nThe goal of server core is not to make it more difficult to manage (although it is to a certain extent, because many tasks must be done from the command line and cannot be done remotely from an MMC console). The actual goal of Server Core is to reduce the overall attack surface and to reduce the number of updates required on the server. Since most of the Windows security updates often involve services and applications that you do not even use (like Windows Media Player or Internet Explorer) on a server, you do not need to update these components. And with the greatly reduced number of applications and services that run on server core, the attack surface is definitely reduced.\nServer core runs a limited number of Server Roles, so you have to make sure that the server role you are interested in is supported by a server core installation. Also, some of the Server Roles are not fully supported, such as the Web Server role. Server Core does not support .NET managed code, and therefore you will not be able to run the IIS console as a remote MMC. This creates a serious management headache because all IIS configuration on a server core machine must be done at the command line using appcmd.exe. If you are an Apache admin, you will be quite happy. If you are a part time IIS admin, you will probably want to wait on server core.\nServer core is definitely a step in the right direction. However, at this time I would consider it a 1.0 release. I am sure the goals of server core were to reduce the attack surface and reduce update requirements, not to make it hard to manage. I expect future updates to Windows Server 2008 will make it easier to manage and allow it to live up to full expectations.\nOne of the impediments to fully deploying Terminal Services for remote access users was the fact that a great many administrators did not trust the authentication sequence and the level of encryption of the RDP tunnels. Another problem encountered was the fact that many firewalls at remote locations did not allow outbound TCP 3389. Microsoft has solved these problems by introducing Terminal Services Gateway in Windows Server 2008.\nTerminal Services Gateway is a type of SSL VPN, in the same way that RPC/HTTP for Outlook access to Exchange Server is an SSL VPN. The SSL VPN type is that of an application protocol proxy. Terminal Services Gateway works with the RDP 6.0+ client to allow encapsulated RDP connections to the TS Gateway computer.\nThe RDP client actually encapsulates the RDP protocol in two other protocols. First, the RDP protocol is encapsulated in an RPC header, and then it is encapsulated a second time using an encrypted HTTP header (SSL). The protocol used to connect to the TS Gateway is actually RDP/RPC/HTTP. Microsoft most likely did this so that they could use the existing RPC/HTTP code they already had for their RPC/HTTP proxy. When the connection reaches the TS Gateway machine, the TS Gateway removes the RPC and HTTP headers and forwards the RDP connections to the appropriate Terminal Server or Remote Desktop computer.\nThe figure below shows the interface for creating a Connection Authorization Policy or CAP. CAPs are used to determine which users can access resources through this TS Gateway computer. The dialog box in the figure shows the configuration interface for binding a certificate to the TS Gateway site so that secure SSL connections are allowed.\nTerminal Services Gateway also supports Smart Card authentication and you also have the option to enforce NAP client access controls. Terminal Services Gateway is definitely one of the major reasons to upgrade to Windows Server 2008.\nThe goal of every security admin is to reach least privilege for every user. That is especially true for remote access connections. Security admins like myself lose sleep at night thinking about providing full remote desktop connections to non-administrative users. All it takes is the compromise of one user’s credentials by a dedicated hacker and that hacker has a full desktop environment under his control to compromise your network. That is a scary thought.\nBut do your users really need full access to a desktop? Or do they only need access to the applications on the desktop? Most likely, they just need access to the applications and data. In that case, Windows Server 2008 provides you with a solution called Terminal Services RemoteApp. Terminal Services RemoteApp allows you to provide access only to specific applications over the RDP channel. In that way, users cannot get into trouble with a full desktop, and if a hacker compromises that user’s credentials, all the hacker has is an application, which has a much lower attack surface than a full desktop.\nTS RemoteApps is very flexible. You can control which apps the users can access and how they access the apps on their own computers. TS Remote Apps together with TS Gateway make the Windows Server 2008 Terminal Server a must have for any company interested in a secure RDP based remote access solution.\nThe figure below shows the main page in the TS RemoteApp Manager console. Setting up TS RemoteApps is quite easy and you will be up and running in very little time.\nThe figure below shows the icon on the user’s desktop that will launch the RemoteApp. In the Properties dialog box you can see that the link is configured to start an .rdp file that allows specific access to the application.\nWindows Server 2008 is the first version of Windows Server that has native IPv6 support as part of a single IP stack. In previous versions of Windows before Vista, IPv6 support was done in parallel with IPv4, and there was no integrated support for IPv6 included in network infrastructure services such as DNS and DHCP. That is no longer the case and now IPv6 is tightly woven into the Windows Server 2008 networking stack and infrastructure services.\nIn the figure below you can see that the Windows Server 2008 DNS now supports IPv6. You can create Quad A (AAAA) records and you can also create IPv6 reverse lookup zones.\nThe DHCP service has also been updated to support IPv6. In the figure below you can see that I have created a DHCP scope for Unique Local addresses.\nThe figure below shows that you can configure network interfaces to use static IPv6 addresses, or have them use DHCP to obtain IP addressing information.\nWindows Server 2008 RRAS servers acting as routers can be configured as IPv6 routers and provide information in the routing advertisement messages regarding what prefix information clients can use, and whether or not they should use stateful addressing information from DHCP servers as well.\nWindows Server 2008 also supports IPv6 transition technologies, such as ISATAP, 6to4 and Teredo. Any Windows Server 2008 computer can be configured as an ISATAP router by using the Netsh command line interface.\nWith the proliferation of branch offices in many organizations, many recognized the problem regarding authentication. Branch offices are often provisioned with a domain controller that users can authenticate to a local DC rather than having to go over a slow, or even downed, WAN link, which could cause authentication failures and inability to access even local resources.\nThe solution was to put domain controllers in the branch offices. While this solved the initial problem of authentication, it introduced a security problem. Since most branch offices do not have the same level of IT expertise as the main office, and most definitely do not have the same level of physical security as the main office, the branch office domain controller became a very weak link in the entire Active Directory infrastructure. Changes made by inexpert users at the branch office could have effects throughout the organization and if the DC at the branch office was stolen, it could potentially compromise all accounts in the organization.\nThe Windows Server 2008 solution is the Read Only Domain Controller (RODC). An RODC contains a read only copy of the Active Directory database, and the only account information stored on the RODC are for accounts at the branch office. Since no changes to the Active Directory can be made on an RODC, there is no fear that an inexpert user will make adverse changes to the Active Directory. And since there are typically no administrative users at the branch office, there is relatively little risk that the RODC at the branch office will contain admin users accounts that could be compromised in the event that the RODC is stolen.\nRODCs can also be configured to cache only certain accounts. And in the event that the RODC is stolen, a list of cached user accounts on the RODC is available to the Active Directory admin at the main office. This allows the Active Directory admin to disable or reset the credentials on these accounts from the main office.\nHyper-V is the Windows Server 2008 hypervisor that allows you to run virtual machines on Windows Server 2008 computers. Hyper-V replaces Virtual Server 2005 and is an integrated part of the operating system, which comes to you at no additional cost. The final bits for Hyper-V are not yet available, so I am going to reserve judgment on Hyper-V at this time. But, from what I have seen so far, I am very impressed with what they have done with Windows Server Virtualization. If you are looking for a no cost virtualization solution, then an upgrade to Windows Server 2008 is a good choice for you.\nNetwork Access Protection allows you to control access from all computers who connect to your network. According to Microsoft, Network Access Protection (NAP) is not so much a security methodology as it is a client health mechanism. NAP allows you to create policies that set a minimum state of client health before that computer is allowed to connect to other computers on the network.\nNAP depends on a Windows Server 2008 infrastructure. You will need a Windows Server 2008 Network Policy Server to store your health policies. There are several ways you can control access to the network: IPsec restrictions, DHCP restrictions, 801.x restrictions and VPN restrictions. Hosts that do not meet the security configuration requirements are not allowed on the network using any of these methods. However, NAP does allow you to create quarantine networks that the non-compliant hosts can connect to in order to remediate themselves. Once the NAP client software detects that the machine is in compliance, it can send that information to the NAP server side components which will then inform the NAP client that it is OK to connect to the network.\nNAP is an extremely powerful method for access control to your network, and it is something that we have been waiting for since it was announced sometime in late 2003, early 2004. While it took almost five years to get NAP to us, it has been well worth the wait. Many network admins consider NAP the primary reason for upgrading to Windows Server 2008. I would have a hard time arguing with these admins.\nThe Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP) is a true SSL VPN. What I mean by “true” SSL VPN is that SSTP provides full network level VPN access to the corporate network in the same way that the PPTP and L2TP/IPSec protocols provide. However, the advantage with SSTP is that unlike PPTP and L2TP/IPSec, you do not have to worry about firewalls blocking outbound access to your SSTP connections.\nSSTP is essentially PPP/SSL. Because the PPP connections are wrapped in a secure HTTP header (SSL), SSTP can pass through any firewall or Web proxy device that allows outbound SSL. No longer will you have to field calls from users at hotels and conference centers who complain that the firewalls in their locations will not allow them to VPN into the network. Another nice thing about SSTP is that you do not have to allow outbound access to SSTP connections just because you allow outbound SSL. There is a value in the CONNECT header that you can configure on your ISA Firewall or other application layer inspection firewall that will allow you to block SSTP connections while allowing other SSL connections.\nSSTP is going to make your life a lot easier for remote access VPN connections. I would upgrade to Windows Server 2008 just for SSTP access.\nWindows Vista users will recognize the Windows Advanced Firewall. Now you get the same benefits Vista users have with Windows Server 2008. What is even better is that you can use Group Policy in Windows Server 2008 comprehensive centralized management of the Windows Advanced Firewall. If you have not used the Vista firewall yet, you are in for a treat. The Windows Advanced Firewall included with Vista and Windows Server 2008 allows you fine tuned inbound and outbound access control. The outbound access control was the missing piece with the Windows XP firewall. Now you have control on outbound connections so that if you detected on your firewalls that hosts are infected with a worm aimed at a certain port or collection of ports, you can block those ports on each host centrally through group policy.\nThe figure below shows the New Inbound Rule Wizard. The Wizard, which you can use in the Group Policy Management console, allows you to very easily configure inbound rules. There is also an outbound rule wizard that allows you to block outbound connections, you can control based on UDP or TCP ports, ICMP message types, or you can block on a per-application basis.\nOne of the most impressive features of the Windows Firewall is how it has simplified the creation of IPsec policies. In the past, setting up IPsec policies was a bit of a hit or miss situation. You would go through the wizards and hope that you had everything set up right. That is no longer the case with Windows Advanced Firewall. The figure below shows the easy to use New Connection Security Rule Wizard that makes it a simple affair to create IPsec domain isolation policies, authentication exemption policies, server to server IPsec connections and IPsec tunnels. The Windows Advanced Firewall has changed setting up IPsec policies from a dreaded event to something I actually look forward to doing. Give it a try, I think you’ll like it.\nAnother major improvement in Windows Server 2008 is centralized QoS policy management through Group Policy. Previous versions of Windows included a QoS feature, but since it really was not based on standards, not many people (if anyone) every used it. Windows Server 2008 changes the game by introducing a new Policy-based QoS feature that you will actually be able to use right out of the box.\nThere are two ways you can implement QoS polices – you can hard code throughput values or you can take advantage of Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) values that are configured on your network routers. DSCP is an industry standard method for implementing QoS on corporate networks. However, even if you do not have DSCP enabled routers, or even if you do not use DSCP, you can still set policies so that the local hosts enforce bandwidth controls on TCP or UDP ports, or on specific applications.\nThe figure below shows a QoS policy that throttles the SMTP protocol on destination port TCP 25. You can select which hosts this policy applies to. For example, you would not want to throttle your SMTP server, but for hosts on your network, you might want to limit the rate of their SMTP traffic. In this way, you can control how much spam infected computers can send before you discover that the machines have been exploited.\nWindows Sever 2008 includes hundreds of new capabilities and features, any one of which might be the one that makes it a valuable upgrade for your organization. In this article I focused on a small collection of new and improved features that I think would make it worthwhile for you to upgrade to Windows Server 2008. For more information about Windows Server 2008 and a more complete listing of what’s new and improved, check out the Windows Server 2008 Technical Library. |

Set in the post-apocalyptic Pacific Northwest city of Seattle in the year 2019, several years after left-wing rebels destroyed the USA's technology and way of life with EMP systems, Max Guevara is a young genetically created woman, part of a top-secret government elite military squad, who is living the life of a bicycle messenger/fugitive in the ruins of Seattle hiding from her former commanding officer, Lydecker, looking to bring her back to his fold. Max meets and turns to Logan Cale, a crippled computer specialist/left-wing rebel who runs a pirated TV system, who helps hide her and asks for her help in cleaning up Seattle of crime and corruption.\nIn a post apocalyptic world genetically enhanced female (transgenic) Max Gueverra tries to stay ahead of the law while looking for links to her past. Max does a job for Logan (the last good man on Earth; and cyber journalist Eyes Only) while trying to keep a handle on her revved up hormones, thanks to Manticore. Logan manages to turn up some information on a friend from Max's past.\nMax needs her pills to keep her seizures at bay but her friends believe that she's an addict. Max is feeling the serious side effects from the alterations to her biochemistry. After her friends flush her pills she tries to steal some from the local hospital but get's caught and lands up in jail.\nAlina Herrero contacts Eyes Only and asks him to help her find out the truth about her father's disappearance years ago. Max breaks in to the police department to steal information about her father, who also happens to be Logan's mentor. At the same time, Sketchy loses the mob's money and has to return the full amount in 36 hours. Max uses her super skills to win the money through poker.\nMax hires a private detective to help her track down a fellow X-5 called Zack. She is about to receive vital information when the detective is found dead. Back at Logan's place, his ex-wife Valerie shows up unexpectedly with an obvious hidden agenda. Max decides to find out the truth about her.\nMax and Donald Lydecker are taken hostages at a convention. Logan decides to trade himself as a hostage for all the women. Max decides to stay and ends up helping Logan when the terrorists push him off the roof of the building. She also does the unexpected when she saves Lydecker from being shot in the head.\nBrin contacts Zack before she is captured. Max and Zach has no choice but to force Lydecker to tell her whereabouts. They teamed up and follow Brin to a military facility where Brin is to be sold to the highest bidder. Once there, Lydecker double crosses the two X-5s and decides to be in on the sale. Max and Zack manage to escape from captivity with Brin who is suffering from a condition that speeds up aging. She has no choice but to receive help from Lydecker. Max and Zack accept Brin's decision and leave her to be picked up by the man who made them.\nNow that Lydecker has seen her face, Max is on a Wanted poster all over town for a murder she didn't commit. The temptation of the big reward leads even her own boss, Normal, to give her up to the police. Zack and Logan help her escape to Logan's cabin located outside of Seattle. However, when Max learns that Logan's condition has worsened and that he's undergoing a very dangerous surgery, she risks her life to come to the hospital. Logan has lost a lot of blood and the blood bank runs out of AB negative blood. Max gives Logan a transfusion as she is a universal donor, something Manticore had given her and the rest of her brothers and sisters. The transfusion works but she is soon captured by authority. Just as all hope seems lost, Zack shows up and takes responsibility for the murder. She is freed but he is taken back to Manticore.\nMax invites Logan to a dinner at her place but instead of having a good time together, Logan is set on investigating a suspicious transportation of what he thinks is medical supply. Max begrudging agrees to help him survey the scene. Later, Logan is captured by the very person he is pursuing and kidnapped. He is demanded to give up the identity of Eyes-Only just as Max impersonates him on TV, saving him in the process. Back at Jam Pony, Normal has a date with a woman who is actually transgender. After he finds out, he decides that he doesn't care about her past, only to discover that Louise is a lesbian.\nLogan asks Max to keep a vital witness to a case for 24 hours, which turns out to be a very long 24 hours for Max. What they did not know is that this witness is the reason Logan is in his wheelchair. Killers are sent in to kill the witness and Max is able to overcome them. However, a second set of killers show up. They are unusually strong and their target is Max.\nLogan asks Max to be his date for a cousin's wedding where she meets his snobbish uncle and aunt. She also gets to meet Logan's ex-fiancée. Back at Jam Pony, Normal is taken by the mob when there is a delivery mix-up. Original Cindy and Max decide to help him retrieve the right painting to save their boss' life.\nZack manages to escape from Manticore and calls Max comes to his rescue. What they do not know is that this is planned by Lydecker in an attempt to find the escaped X5's. Once Max and Zack find this out, they have to find a way to warn their siblings without exposing them.\nLogan Cale's legs are failing him and he secretly contacts an ex-Manticore scientist in an attempt to get back on his feet. He tries to avoid the suspicious Max from knowing. Max's curiosity leads her to follow Logan on one of his trips when she is attacked by Jace, one of her X5's siblings who refused to escape.\nMax and Logan are out for a holiday. Unbeknownst to Max, Logan is also planning to investigate an old crime. Once there, Max befriends a small boy with a secret. Stirring his past brings troubles from the town's gangster to Logan and Max. Meanwhile, a powerful seizure takes over Max.\nA body with a barcode tattooed at the neck is sent to the morgue. Logan pulls some strings and Max gets to examine the body. Although the barcode matches that of Ben, one of the 12 escapees, the man is not an X5. More bodies with the same tattoo surface and Max is determine to find Ben to find out the truth.\nA suspicious-looking man takes pictures of Max. She follows him and is surprised that he seems to possess super-natural strength. Finding out that he is actually a good guy, the two team up with Logan and investigate the deaths of recently released prisoners. This leads to shocking discoveries about Logan's family business. Logan is left with a dilemma. If Eyes Only goes public about this finding, he would lose his source of income.\nTinga, who escaped to Canada in #1.12 with other X5's, when Eyes Only warned them their locations were compromised, comes back in town to save her husband and son. With Max and Zack's help, the family is reunited, but not before the son is given a deadly pathogen. Lydecker agrees to cure the boy in exchange for Tinga. Unbeknownst to him, Madame X has already arranged for Brin to double cross Lydecker. She captures Tinga, who is able to pass her special traits to her children, to study her.\nMax is in heat again, ready to jump at any men, even Normal! She hates her condition and is ashamed of it. Meanwhile, she is avoiding Logan at all cost and decides to cancel their anniversary dinner. After the day is over, she confronts the still-confused Logan about her condition and the two finally admit their feelings towards each other. Just as they are kissing, Zack interrupts with bad news about Tinga. They must go rescue her from a secret government facility.\nLydecker realizes that he has lost control over Manticore, as Madame X is now clearly running the show. He would rather see the project destroyed than see it abused by others. He asks Max for help in bringing Manticore down. Together with Zack and other X5's, they storm the facility and destroy the DNA lab.\nMax regains her consciousness after her heart transplant, only to realize that she is back at Manticore and that Zack's heart is beating inside her. Madame X or Dr. Renfroe brings her to what is remain of Zack, his various organs taken to save other X5s. Now that the DNA lab has been torched, Manticore has decided to designate a 'breeding partner' to every X5's. Max's turns out to be Alec, a clone of Ben, who has no problem with her refusal to 'mate' with him. With the help of Joshua, a half dog- half man experiment, she escapes from Manticore for the second time. Outside in Seattle, Logan, after 3 months, still believes that Max is alive. He decides to reveal the existence of Manticore through Eyes Only. Dr. Renfro must destroy all evidence of the facility and burns the place, with people still trapped inside. Max cannot bear to see them die and releases everyone. Logan is reunited with her, only to find out that she is deadly to him if they touch because Manticore has given her a special virus targeted at him. Luckily, Max is able to retrieve the anti-body from Dr. Renfroe, who ends up taking a bullet for Max because, in her words, Max is special. Dying, she tells Max to find Sandeman.\nThe government sends Ames White to clean up the mess that was Manticore. His mission is to eliminate all evidence of the program's existence. Max feels guilty about this, as she was the one that let the X-series out, and goes back near the facility to help a group of escapees evade death. Lydecker contacts Logan to warn Max to stay away from Manticore when he gets her full DNA analysis.\nAlec agrees to kill three Manticore escapees when White plants a small bomb at the back of his head. He must bring their barcode back as proof. When time begins to run out, he contemplates attacking Joshua and Max to save his life. Logan agrees to pay a huge sum to the man who engineered the virus designed to kill him to find an antibody for Max.\nMax and Logan are separated by the virus. Their loneliness compels them to date other people. Meanwhile, a virus is on the rampage in Chinatown. Because there is a rumored transgenic in the area, the public starts to believe that this monster is the source of the illness. In reality, White has asked a scientist to engineer a virus targeted specifically at Manticore's escapees. The death in Chinatown was just a demonstration for White.\nIt's Halloween. Joshua, seeing people dressed up as monsters, believes it the perfect night for him to experience the outside world. He asks Max but she decides against it, insisting that people will be scared of him. Joshua reluctantly agrees to stay inside while Max prepares to go to a party.\nA canine-like creature has been attacking and killing police. All evidence points to Joshua. Max refuses to believe that someone as gentle as her friend can kill. It turns out that Joshua has a younger brother called Isaac. The police tracks Joshua down and arrests him. Max breaks her friend out of jail. To protect Max, Joshua kills his brother. Meanwhile Alec is selling drugs, using his position as a Jam Pony messenger as cover. The local gang comes to threaten Alec into stopping to sell drugs in their territory.\nMax is surprised to find that Zack is still alive, working for a gang. He has no recollection of his past life. Once he starts regaining his memories, he only remembers that Logan stole Max from him and that Logan is the reason Max was captured by Manticore. He is out to get revenge on Logan. Max has to choose risking Logan's life or losing her brother to another memory loss.\nLogan and Max become involve in a kidnapping of a young boy when his distressed mother came asking for help. During their investigation, they learn that the boy is the son of Max's nemesis, Ames White. He is part of a breeding cult and has placed his only son in a special school without his wife's knowledge or consent. The boy's life is in danger as he must pass series of deadly tests to prove his worthiness to the occult group.\nWhen Asha's militant group, S1W comes under fire, Max discovers that it is all because of a Manticore strategist - another transgenic called Brain. Although Max doesn't trust him completely, Brain sets out to protect Max in the best way he can as they discover who really betrayed S1W.\nThe past catches up with Alec who is sent on a package delivery run to a residence with Max. Before he escaped Manticore, he was being groomed as an assassin. On just such a mission, he brought immense sorrow to the owner of this residence--The Berrifords. Having no idea what inner turmoil is driving her erstwhile Manticore nemesis/friend, Max nonetheless is able to help him face his demons and resolve the sins of his past--the wrongs that he could never quite escape, the haunted feelings that were never very far away.\nMax and Logan finally find a cure for the genetically engineered virus created by Manticore which only endangers Logan when he has any form of physical contact with Max. However the cure is temporary and lasts only ten hours and fifteen minutes . Meanwhile Seattle is being besieged by a Manticore creation which is preying on humans and it is left to Max to try to save the day.\nMax is rushed to the emergency room after she gets shot trying to protect a little boy. While there, blood and DNA tests expose the virus inside of her. The CDC is contacted, Ames White catches wind of it, and it's a race against the clock for Logan to help Max escape.\nA transgenic with the ability to control people messes with Max's mind to keep her from coercing a meek mob bookie into selling out his boss to Eyes Only. But once the mutant sets her sights on Alec, the stakes are raised, leading him back into the boxing ring to make some money for some not-so-good fellas. |

First sentence: In the evening, as darkness falls, I return to the fortress.\nPremise/plot: This middle grade historical novel is the story of a boy and a bear. The novel is set in the thirteenth century--the setting is first Norway, then the sea, and finally England. The King of Norway is giving a polar bear--a 'pale bear'--to the King of England (Henry III) as a gift. But the bear needs a handler or keeper to get him there safely. Arthur, our young, desperate hero, seems an unlikely choice. But it turns out that he has a way with the bear--a way that the adults don't seem to have. His job--if he accepts it--will be to keep the bear calmed down and willing to eat. In return he'll receive passage to Wales after the bear is delivered safely. Wales is where his father's family is from originally.\nThis historical coming-of-age novel is packed with action, adventure, and drama.\nMy thoughts: I really enjoyed this one so much. I'm not sure at this point if it's "really, really like" or love. But I do know that I was so captivated by this story that I could not put the book down. I read it in one sitting. I liked the setting. I liked the characters. I liked the relationships. I liked the story--it is based loosely on a true story. The King of Norway did give the King Henry III a polar bear for his menagerie. The bear did go for a daily swim every day in the river Thames. |

DAVID SPEERS, HOST: The Shadow Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus joins me now. Thank you for your time.\nSPEERS: You were particularly critical about George Brandis over the weekend. You said that if correct it’s as clear a case of corruption as one could imagine. If what was correct? If evidence could be found of him actually being involved with this arrangement in WA?\nDREYFUS: If the story as reported in the West Australian was correct is what I was saying and I absolutely stand by my comment that this is as clear a case of corruption as one could want.\nSPEERS: So you’re not satisfied by the statement he gave today in which he specifically says that he strongly – he arrived at the firm conclusion that the ATO should intervene in this case.\nDREYFUS: Eventually, it seems. This is an extraordinarily selective statement in which Senator Brandis blames everybody but himself David. It beggars belief that he didn’t know about this until the 3rd of March which is what he’s trying to claim. This was – we have to go back to what this was about. This was an attempt by the West Australian Parliament to dud the Commonwealth taxpayer of $300 million. The idea that a Commonwealth government would stand by – would not immediately leap into a case in the High Court to challenge that – is incomprehensible. The idea that he wavered for a minute is incomprehensible and that’s what shows that he is actually covering up.\nSPEERS: Back to the WA legislation, the Bell Act, according to George Brandis, was simply about winding up such long litigation and ensuring appropriate creditors received their benefit.\nDREYFUS: Well that’s what the West Australian government says. This has been a long-running piece of litigation – a $1.8 billion or so pot of money – and one of the creditors, a creditor that gets first preference in all windings-up, is the Federal Commissioner of Taxation. For a government that claims to be worrying about our revenue, that claims to be worrying about a credit rating, that they would just give up $300 million that comes to them with a guarantee under the Corporations Act I find extraordinary.\nSPEERS: Is there any evidence George Brandis knew about such an arrangement?\nDREYFUS: Of course. He said he knew about it from the 3rd March. I find that very difficult to believe. He would have been notified as soon as this Act was passed, he would have been notified that proceedings had been commenced in the High Court of Australia. The Commonwealth gets a notice inviting it to intervene, it can intervene as of right. The whole thing stinks, because it was left to the Australian Tax Office and happily for Australia’s taxpayers, Justin Gleeson the Solicitor-General to pursue this. Again I can say we owe a great debt to Justin Gleeson for holding George Brandis to his duty which he clearly didn’t know.\nSPEERS: But again George Brandis says when he became aware of this, and he spells out what happened and who he met and who he spoke to including Kelly O’Dwyer, the Second Commissioner of Taxation, and then Justin Gleeson the-then Solicitor-General. Yes he considered options but then says ‘I should stress that was never a view I arrived at in relation to, one of the options being, that the ATO should not intervene’. And then he says ‘after my discussions I arrived at the firm conclusion that it was desirable the ATO should intervene to protect the interests of the Commonwealth. Notwithstanding the view that had been expressed to me by the West Australians regarding Joe Hockey’s discussions. I was also of the view that it was necessary for the Commonwealth to intervene in addition to the ATO’.\nDREYFUS: Eventually. And that’s what the story on the front page of the West Australian was about on Friday. It’s about George Brandis attempting to stop both the ATO and the Commonwealth – through Justin Gleeson, the Solicitor-General, from intervening.\nSPEERS: But what evidence is there for that?\nDREYFUS: Well that’s what we need to hear properly from George Brandis. Not obfuscating, not attempting to hide behind legal professional privilege.\nSPEERS: But you’re saying eventually he arrived at the right decision. How do you know he wasn’t there all along?\nSPEERS: But they thought they had a deal with Joe Hockey. Nahan has said that. He said the deal was with Joe Hockey.\nDREYFUS: It’s the same government. George Brandis was the Attorney-General in that government as well and it’s after the change of leader, we then get a new Treasurer but the same Attorney-General. And we then get the legislation passed in the West Australian Parliament, immediately then challenged in the High Court of Australia. It’s a dirty deal done by this government, be it the Abbott or Turnbull government because it’s both, that’s when the Act came through, when Turnbull was Prime Minister – to favour their West Australian Liberal Party mates over the Australian taxpayer. We haven’t heard the last of this because George Brandis’s statement does not go to his actual discussion with the Attorney-General and it does not say what it is that he told the Solicitor-General. It’s pretty important David.\nSPEERS: And he says this is protected by privilege. Is it protected by privilege? That discussion? Because this is key.\nDREYFUS: Generally speaking, discussions between clients and lawyer are protected by privilege. But this client is the Attorney-General of the Commonwealth. He’s accountable to this Parliament, he’s accountable to the Australian people, and that’s why he should be telling us frankly and fully what it was that he first instructed Justin Gleeson to do, what he next instructed Justin Gleeson to do. We know what the outcome was, which was that in the end – dragged kicking and screaming it seems – the Commonwealth came in to back the position first adopted by the Australian Tax Office.\nSPEERS: OK but to be clear, legally, is this protected by privilege or not, this conversation?\nDREYFUS: As I’ve said to you David the communications between client and lawyer are generally protected by privilege. That doesn’t stand against parliamentary committees and for good reason, and it shouldn’t stand between the Australian people and knowing what George Brandis did in this case.\nSPEERS: So that would trump the privilege?\nDREYFUS: Well I would say that just as a matter of political accountability, this Attorney-General needs to fess up as to what he said to the Solicitor-General. It’s very important, because the story as reported suggests that he was prepared to put his political mates ahead of his duty to the Commonwealth. That’s why I described it as corrupt activity because that’s what it is. When you put private interest ahead of public duty.\nSPEERS: In the end, do you concede that he arrived at the right outcome?\nSPEERS: Doesn’t that indicate to you that somewhere along the line, in the worst case scenario, that somewhere along the line he has made the right call?\nDREYFUS: Well it means that he wasn’t permitted either by his colleagues or by what he was told by Justin Gleeson, to go forward with the dirty deal that had been done with the WA Liberals which was to let this special Act go through, give up $300 million of taxpayers money, and happily for the Australian taxpayer that didn’t happen. Happily for the budget, that didn’t happen.\nSPEERS: OK but there’s still no evidence is there, that Joe Hockey made such a deal? We have what Mike Nahan said on the Hansard in WA Parliament but there’s no smoking gun here that says Joe Hockey agreed to this.\nSPEERS: But can you say “dirty deal” without evidence?\nSPEERS: But that’s not the smoking gun.\nDREYFUS: We’ve got the fact of the legislation going forward, we’ve got Dr Nahan in the West Australian Parliament, we’ve got Michael Mischin the Attorney-General of West Australia who are all saying they had a deal with this federal government and that’s very significant. What we’ve got is omission and evasion from George Brandis today – who keeps saying ‘I made a statement in the Senate’ – well he did make a statement in the Senate but that statement raises more questions than it answers.\nSPEERS: You did say at the weekend you would use all mechanisms available in Parliament to pursue this so what can you do now?\nDREYFUS: We’ve called on Senator Brandis to make a statement, he’s made a partial statement. We’re now looking at whether or not to go forward with a Senate inquiry.\nSPEERS: Right and so you’re talking to the Greens, crossbenchers about a Senate inquiry?\nSPEERS: That would specifically look at the conversation between George Brandis and….\nDREYFUS: Among other things, and what was the deal done between the Abbott and Turnbull governments and the WA Liberal government, and more precisely, you’ve hit the nail on the head here David – it’s what passed here? What did George Brandis attempt to do which happily in the end he wasn’t able to do? Because the attempt is just as potentially a breach of duty as anything that had actually been consummated. He didn’t get there, that’s a mercy, but we should be pursuing this because the story in the West Australian is incredibly concerning as to what it describes as to the conduct of Senator Brandis as Attorney-General of the Commonwealth.\nSPEERS: And without answering the specific questions you’ve laid out there, what is your position on whether George Brandis should stay in the job?\nDREYFUS: There is such a long list of missteps and incompetence over the whole period of his Attorney-Generalship. It is extraordinary that he is still there, it shows how weak a leader Malcolm Turnbull is that he is still there. I’m expecting him to go in a reshuffle and in not too long a period at that.\nSPEERS: Shadow Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus thanks for joining us this afternoon.\nDREYFUS: Thanks very much David. |

Lanna Dog Welfare was the awardee in the Regional category for ARACON in the 2018 World Rabies Day Awards. View their profile and statement on receiving the award here.\nChiang Mai - a city in northern Thailand - is a vibrant composite of several communities. These communities boast a variety of ethnic groups, span across a variety of terrains and contain people from various socioeconomic backgrounds. However, such rich diversity leads to many barriers (e.g. language, geography, education) when implementing rabies prevention and control programmes. Under its “Chiang Mai Model” to end rabies, Lanna Dog Welfare (LDW) assesses the needs of each community, before developing customised approaches for maximum efficiency.\nLanna Dog Welfare collaborates heavily with veterinary schools, municipal authorities and local volunteers to carry out humane education and sterilisation projects all over Chiang Mai. In 2015, LDW introduced a pre-registration computer programme for its field sterilisations - the first of its kind in Thailand. Previously, all records were paper-based and at high risk of going missing. The programme stores individual patient records, which allows analysis of disease prevalence and patterns, tracking of vaccination data, and efficient purchase of anaesthetic drugs. The programme was expanded to all of LDW’s sterilisation sites in 2017, and frequently undergoes modifications for improvement. Lanna Dog Welfare also maintains a real-time online dog registration database, to account for the dynamic nature of dog movements and numbers. Taking into consideration how often the lack of data creates challenges for rabies prevention programmes, this is an important aspect of the organisation’s work.\nMoving to another set of stakeholders that most people do not associate directly with animal welfare: temples and the military. Lanna Dog Welfare recognises their crucial role in humanely managing Thai stray dogs. Several Buddhist temples harbour huge populations of stray animals so LDW trains temple monks in basic animal handling, vaccinations, wound care and record-keeping. Temple monks are also trained to organise sterilisation projects and LDW eventually hopes to establish a network of temples with “ambassador” monks who coordinate the care of temple animals.\nThe military frequently trains in deep-forested areas, which harbour huge stray dog populations. Thus, there were issues with stray dog bites. In 2014, the military invited LDW to help with stray dog management so LDW introduced a humane method of catching stray dogs. Wire net pens were set up within the national park areas and the stray dogs were conditioned by being fed in them. Once they grew accustomed to them, the pens were closed in order to catch the dogs who were then vaccinated and sterilised. In order to do this, the military staff were also trained in humane dog handling. LDW hopes that this project can serve as a model for military camps nationwide.\nLanna Dog Welfare frequently seeks external feedback and collaboration for its initiatives. It collaborated with World Animal Protection and Blue Tail Animal Aid International to train the temple monks and the military unit. LDW also collaborates frequently with the National Institute of Infectious Diseases Control in Japan, assessing its vaccination programmes by sending dog blood samples to the Institute, and using the Institute’s findings to plan future interventions.\nThe rabies situation is ever-changing but Lanna Dog Welfare deftly adapts to different circumstances with unique solutions, and actively seeks external feedback to strengthen its initiatives. With this approach, Lanna Dog Welfare serves as a trailblazer for future rabies efforts in Thai society. |

Aquidneck Island communities (Middletown, Newport, and Portsmouth, including Naval Station Newport) are impacted by coastal hazards such as flooding from strong storms, periodic extreme tides, and, in some areas, daily high tides. Sea level rise and climate change are exacerbating these impacts. The Aquidneck Island Resilience Strategy (AIRS) highlights key issues and provides science- and citizen-informed recommendations for the future. The strategy, created in collaboration with the Aquidneck Island Planning Commission together with municipal and regional leaders, builds on municipal strengths and proposes Island-wide, collaborative actions. AIRS target four key focus areas: Emergency response and preparedness, Transportation, Island economy, and Residential flooding.\nShare what leaders and key community stakeholders see as their most significant concerns as well as what they are doing already.\nInform the people in the island community of the current and future coastal threats.\nProvide recommendations to promote their ability to deal with these disturbances while maintaining their community systems’ many different functions.\nBeyond the specific recommendations included in the strategy, it is strongly recommended that the practice of seeking out opportunities to work together at the municipal level be continued and expanded.\nEmergency response and preparedness. Concerns addressed: bridge closures during extreme weather, vulnerable populations, disruptive storm impacts (e.g. flooding, downed trees), and public awareness regarding preparatory actions.\nTransportation. Concerns addressed: bridge closures during extreme weather, present-day roadway flooding and erosion, impacts of flooding on road and bridge foundations, collaborative road maintenance, congestion, and impact of transportation disruption on economy.\nIsland economy. Concerns addressed: disruption of local businesses during storms, government-community-business partnerships to protect the economy during emergencies, regional impacts of environmental hazards.\nResidential flooding. Concerns addressed: present-day flooding due to extreme high tides, balancing coastal adaptation in historic neighborhoods, flood insurance, aging stormwater infrastructure and associated flooding.\nBeachSAMP website. The Rhode Island Shoreline Change Special Area Management Plan explains how flooding and erosion is shaping the coast. This webpage offers updates of this ongoing project as well as related tools and projects.\nSTORMTOOLS webpage. This interactive mapping tool displays storm inundation for a range of sea level predictions and storms that could occur along Rhode Island’s coast.\nAquidneck Island Special Area Management Plan.

LIGONIER, IND. (WPTA21)-Main Street, Ligonier, Indiana, the most prestigious neighborhood in town where Ligonier’s movers and shakers flaunted their wealth through the grand homes they built. And now one of these Main Street masterpieces is up for grabs.\nNestled among Main Street’s mansions is this humble and historic building, the Ahavath Sholom Synagogue, built in 1889 by Ligonier’s then growing Jewish population. Jewish families began arriving in the 1850’s, among them two brilliant businessmen, Solomon Mier and Fredrick Strauss. The two built the town’s biggest industries, this is the Mier Carriage and Buggy factory eventually turning out automobiles. As more Jewish families arrived the community built their synagogue. Today, home of the Ligonier historical society.\nWhere worshipers once prayed historic artifacts and records are displayed all of them basking in the harlequin light of the synagogue’s magnificent stained glass windows, each depicting an important chapter in the life of King David. The original central chandelier is in place as is the hand carved Torah Ark that once held the Torah scrolls. But the Historical Society will soon preserve their town’s history elsewhere. The synagogue is for sale.\nThe building has not been an easy sell but eventually someone will recognize its value. Whatever its fate the Ahavath Sholom Synagogue will provide its new owner with a magnificent building unlike any other in Ligonier, beautiful and historic, and awaiting the chance to again serve the community it has helped nurture for 130 years. |
Sarah Haire heard rumblings about a storm approaching the coastline, but she expected it all to blow over.\nSo the Cleveland County native was caught off guard when a powerful hurricane developed in the Atlantic. By Monday, an evacuation order was issued for Jacksonville, North Carolina, where Haire lives now.\nHaire and her husband, Austin, packed their two cars and headed west toward Cleveland County on Tuesday. Austin Haire was able to take a seven-day leave from Camp Lejeune Marine Corps base where he is stationed.\nThe couple will split time between Boiling Springs with Sarah�s family and Shelby with Austin�s family over the weekend.\nAbout two hours down the coast, in the Cherry Grove district of North Myrtle Beach, Joshua and Emily Bellamy also began to realize the severity of Hurricane Florence Monday.\nAs a Myrtle Beach native, Joshua Bellamy has seen his fair share of hurricanes. Emily Bellamy has as well since moving to the area from Cleveland County after meeting Joshua while he was attending Gardner-Webb University.\nTheir son, Wyatt, was born during Hurricane Matthew in 2016. Last year, Hurricane Irma, a Category 1, left the family without power for five days.\nWith a Category�3 to 4 storm approaching and nearly everything in town shutting down, they packed up important documents and family photos and headed to Cleveland County Tuesday.\nThe drive, which typically takes about 4 hours, instead took 6 1/2. They are staying with Emily�s grandparents on Maple Springs Church Road until things settle at home.\nMany evacuees without friends or family away from the coast are booking hotels inland to escape the inclement weather.\nFinding a hotel may be a difficult task in Shelby and the surrounding area this week due to the World Equestrian Games at the Tryon International Equestrian Center.\nBoth the 86 rooms at the Hampton Inn & Suites and 58 rooms at the Country Inn & Suites in Shelby have been booked up, according to Tiffany Fairfield, who oversees both locations.\n�Both hotels are actually full due to the Equestrian Games and regular business. A few cancellations have come because of the weather,� Fairfield said.\nThe rooms where cancellations occurred quickly filled back up, with some of that business coming from those evacuating.\n�We�re getting pick up business from the storm,� Fairfield said.\nAustin Haire is scheduled to report back to base Wednesday. Depending on the weather, Sarah Haire said they plan to work their way back Monday evening or Tuesday morning.\nWith no way to check how the storm is impacting their home during the hurricane, Sarah Haire is nervous about the damage they might find when they return.\nJoshua and Emily Bellamy have similar fears about the unknowns of what could happen to their home. But they find solace in being safe with their two kids, 4-year-old, Olivia, and 2-year-old, Wyatt.\n�No matter what happens now, we�re here, and we�re together,� Joshua Bellamy said. |

I am writing this Blogging for Beginners FAQ's because starting a blog as a business is not an easy thing to do.\nIf you are not familiar with the blogging world, it can be hard to wrap your head around how it all works and how bloggers make money doing what they do.\nA blog is a collection of articles that show up on a website in chronological order.\nThe lines between blogs and websites have blurred over the years. Platforms like WordPress or Squarespace allow you to have both – static pages and blog pages.\nA static page is a stand alone piece of content whereas a blog post is an article that shows up on a blog page and can also be organized by categories and tags.\nA website can consist of several pages – Home, About, Contact, and also a Blog Page (which contains all of the blog posts).\nWhat people find confusing is that each post is also a standalone page – when you click the headline on a post, you are usually taken to a webpage that has all the content for that post only.\nThe biggest difference is really on the backend. The blogger can either write a post or page in their blogging platform. If they create a post, it will also appear in the chronological list of posts on their blog page. If they create a standalone page – it will not appear in the rolling list on a blog page.\nMore about this: What is the difference between a blog and a website?\nNo matter what your age, a blog is a great way to start a side hustle and make money from home.\nBlogging is not just for millennials and computer savvy individuals.\nI, myself, am in a completely different stage of life. I have four children – my oldest is in his early twenties and my youngest is a teenager.\nFor me, paying for four college educations is a reality right now – and retirement is looming ahead. Even though I don't make a full-time income from my blog yet, the income that I do make is helpful.\nMoney, of course, should not be your only reason for blogging but should be a goal.\nMore about this: Why owning a website is better than social media.\nDo I need strong technical skills to be a blogger?\nIn a nutshell, yes you do but no you don't. But if you are not strong technically – it is NOT a deal breaker.\nWhat you really need to start a successful blog is a willingness to learn.\nTechnology can be intimidating – especially to people of, ahem – a certain age like me, who weren't raised with it. But the reality is that the world is run by technology. You can either sit in the dark ages and let it pass you by or you can jump in and learn as you go.\nThe technical skills that you learn through blogging will help you in every other aspect of your life.\nBlogging platforms are so much easier to use than ever before.\nwork with digital images – resizing, cropping, adding text overlays etc.\nIf you have a specialized skill or passion – that is a good place to start.\nThere are tons of brainstorming activities that you can do to narrow down the scope of your website.\nBut if you plan to make money from your website – you should evaluate how monetizable your topic is.\nAre people looking for the information that you write about?\nAre people willing to pay for information, products, and services that are related to the topic that you blog about?\nShould I Start More Than One Blog?\nHow much money can I make with my blog?\nThis is the million dollar question – and some bloggers actually do make millions of dollars.\nWhen I am talking about blogging here, I am talking about traditional blogging. This means writing articles on your blog about a particular topic, that appeal to your readers.\nI am not talking about “internet marketing” – meaning doing webinars, or summits, or any myriad of other internet marketing techniques.\nYes, you might end up using these techniques to build traffic to your blog – but actual blogging is what I cover here.\nSo getting back to the original question – I have found that in the beginning, the answer depends on website traffic.\nIt is quite logical. People need to come to your website and interact with your links, your content, your advertising etc.\nYou can have the greatest site in the world – but if no one shows up, then no one is buying and no one is clicking. Make sense?\nHow much website traffic do I need to make money?\nThere is no standard answer to this. It depends on the value of what you offer and what your commissions or profit margins are.\nHowever, as a rule of thumb for an “average” blogger – I would say you need at least 10,000 pageviews per month to start seeing some regular monthly income – probably under $1,000 per month at this traffic level.\nAs you get closer to 30,000 pageviews per month you will see good traction and also be able to partner with some ad networks.\nHow long does it take to get traffic?\nJust like an offline business, people want to know that you are the real deal before they start to trust. Building that trust takes time.\nThe best path is to show up every day and do your job, consistently.\nBecause it takes so long to establish yourself, you should start a blog when you don't necessarily need a steady income from it. Start your blog on the side when you are staying home with your kids, or while you still have a full-time job that pays the bills.\nHow much time does blogging take on a weekly basis?\nIf you want to create a business from your blog, you need to work it.\nYou need time to plan (use an editorial calendar), create content, create graphics, share your work, and build relationships.\nAt a minimum, you need to set aside 10 hours per week. But honestly, you really need to put in more time than that.\nThe more time you put in, the more you get out.\n“Work smarter not harder” works for here, too – but blogging for beginners is different. You need to put in the time up front so you spread your brand and your name.\nPeople will tell you that blogging is one of the cheapest businesses to start. You don't have rent to pay or furniture to buy.\nBut blogging is not free by any means.\nOn WordPress, you will need to buy a hosting plan and a WordPress theme. On Squarespace you will pay the monthly fee. This is at a minimum.\nYou may not need to get everything at once, but as your blog grows you will start to assess your needs.\nHere is a summary of some of the more common blogging costs.\nPlease educate yourself on the differences before you start.\nFirst, know that there is a difference between self-hosted WordPress.org and WordPress.com. They are not the same thing!\nBy far, self-hosted WordPress offers you the most flexibility by way of plugins – but you have to do regular maintenance, or at least be familiar with what needs to be done.\nIf you are looking for cheapWordPress hosting – my favorite hosting by far is Bluehost.\nWhile self-hosted WordPress is by far my favorite blogging platform, I recognize that WordPress is not for everyone.\nWhen it comes to blogging for beginners, a decent option for those that don't want to go the WordPress route is Squarespace. Keep in mind that it is not as flexible as self hosted WordPress, but all of the behind the scenes work is managed by Squarespace itself. So you can focus on creating content.\nI have a few clients on Squarespace and my advice was – if the complexity of WordPress is keeping you from blogging at all, then just use Squarespace and get started.\nHowever, I do feel that Squarespace is a better choice for brick and mortar business as opposed to people that want to make their blog their business.\nA third option that is generally more costly than a shared hosting account is managed WordPress.\nThis is still considered self-hosted (NOT WordPress.com) but the hosting company actually maintains all of the updates to your WordPress platform.\nI use BigScoots managed WordPress hosting for this site and I have been very happy with them.\nHow do I get started blogging – what do I do first?\nWell, I hope that I have answered many of your questions about the world of blogging.\nBlogging takes time but it can be both rewarding and lucrative.\nIf you still have questions about starting a blog – please do ask in the comments below.\nhow do edit or customize the template so that i can have my own images instead of those sliding cartoon images.\nUnfortunately, I am not at all familiar with the Blogger platform. But if you have a custom theme, the best option is to reach out to the developer. |

Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s absence from the High Court has given some loyal peasants the vapors.\nWhile we should denounce the vultures and those donning the grim reaper costume, we should be just as concerned by those who are willing to partake in some cosmic day extension ritual or those who would throw themselves in a morgue if it meant a whole new body of organs for the aging Justice.\nThe obsession with one person is antithetical to our republican form of government. I think we can safely conclude that these types of obsessions come from two sources. The first is the politician’s or individual’s own sense of self-importance. The second is the devoted follower’s affirmation of that importance.\nElected representatives are agents, they are the tools that the people use to carry out their will. Each representative has no inherent worth or authority outside that which has been bestowed upon him by the people.\nYet the idea of politicians’ own self-importance is not without merit. They forget that they are expendable. One of the greatest examples of political self-importance and arrogance is the creation of a congressional bunker during the Cold War. Project Greek Island was the code name given to the legislative branch’s attempt at self preservation at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia. Obviously, there are arguments for continuity of government, but the idea that the source of political power (the people) can suffer a nuclear holocaust, as long as the government survives, is truly appalling. Representatives can be replaced. The people can elect new ones. The only consideration should be to preserve the commander-in-chief during wartime.\nBut it doesn’t end there. While we saw a case of institutional self-importance illustrated above, we see it on a personal level, where the followers really latch on to the cult of personality. This past fall, two 85 year olds were bickering over documents and beer. In 2017 a senator in his 80’s decided to keep serving despite a diagnosis of brain cancer. Dozens, if not hundreds, of other individuals have decided to “serve” in congress well into their 80s, with one senator reaching 100. Because incumbents are hard to beat and because voters forget where the power lies, we end up with politicians who no longer see themselves as mere tools to carry out the will of the voters and instead see voters as tools to preserve their own personal power. Take John McCain. His job was to represent the State of Arizona. As soon as it became apparent that he could not effectively represent the state, he should have resigned. Instead, he held on. The office isn’t about him. It’s about the state.\nAnd so we come to the curious case of Justice Ginsburg. One, I am not opposed to the elderly serving our nation in elected or appointed positions. I like Justice Breyer, he seems to be doing fine. I think Dianne Feinstein seemed more “with it” than Chuck Grassley. And Orrin Hatch seemed more “with it” than both of them. I am not opposed to people serving who get injured or get sick, I am not saying that anyone whose health is in jeopardy must resign immediately. Justice Sotomayor injured herself not too long ago. But it is no secret that at some point, age, failing health, gravity, quantum mechanics, dark matter, and the universe’s eventual heat death will take its toll on everyone.\nThe one who respects the nation’s true source of power, the people, will see themselves as a dispensable cog in the grand machine. It’s common practice for Justices to retire during the tenure of a president who shares the political party of the president who appointed them. While Justice Ginsburg has remarked that she wants to make it until 90 on the court, I think she should have retired while Obama was president. Breyer could have considered it as well. Why? Because retiring would affirm that their personal goals of professional longevity have no meaning in our republican form of government. Ginsburg isn’t the queen of America. She doesn’t have to hold on to her job out of tradition or some expectation by her subjects. Queen Elizabeth is 92 years old. She is beloved in the United Kingdom. But we don’t have a monarchy. Justice Ginsburg is supposed to be a dispassionate judge in a black robe, relegated to the boring work of lawyers. To those on the left, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is an icon, an idol. Michael Moore had her adorning the top of his Christmas tree.\nAs The Hill reports that she will miss her second day of arguments to recover, the left is in panic mode. They have elevated the importance of both the court and its members to a place it was never meant to be. It is becoming apparent that the obsession with Ginsburg is more about her place in the political sphere than genuine concern for her well-being.\nI doubt that Ginsburg sees herself as the only hope of the resistance. I suspect she is more concerned about professional longevity than making herself into a political warrior. Regardless of the motivation, any reason to hold on to an office, absent one’s ability to fulfill their duties 100%, reeks of self-importance. That fuels the sycophants.\nYou should hope for Justice Ginsburg’s recovery and continued health because it’s rude to wish harm upon people. It’s also rude to place all your hope in the well-being of your political idol.\nAll the political idols are just cogs. |
Have you ever wondered how are we able to be happy? Where does happiness come from? It is a gift from God. True happiness is only found in Jesus Christ. Nothing gives you an everlasting joy and happiness like Jesus Christ. Many people try to substitute Christ for other things to make them happy such as sin, works, ice-cream, hobbies, possessions, and more, but this joy only lasts for a moment.\nThen, you will go back feeling more miserable when you are done and when you are alone. We were not made to live without Christ. We need Christ and all we have is Christ. If you want happiness and joy you must trust and rest upon Him.\nIt helps you keep your mind on the Lord.\nBeing happy improves your health.\nIt helps you interact with others and make more friends.\nHappiness helps every situation such as marriage, parenthood, work, stress, trials, etc.\nIt leads to giving more to the poor and needy.\nBeing happy makes you more content.\nI would like to start off by saying there is a difference between joy and happiness.\nHappiness is dependent on circumstances, but true joy and true happiness comes from our faith in Jesus Christ. Joy and true happiness is everlasting because the source of it is everlasting.\n1. Philippians 4:11-13 Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.\n2. Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.\nNot only does a happy heart benefit you, but it benefits others as well. Who would you rather hang around with, someone who is always sad or someone who is always happy? Happiness is a very contagious thing and it makes more people happy.\n3. Proverbs 15:13 A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.\n4. Proverbs 17:22 A cheerful heart brings good healing, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.\nTrue happiness is achieved by resting upon the Lord.\n5. Psalm 144:15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.\n6. Psalm 68:3 But the godly are happy; they rejoice before God and are overcome with joy.\n7. Psalm 146:5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God.\n8. Proverbs 16:20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.\nDon’t let your happiness and peace come from your performance on your walk of faith. You will be miserable. Allow your joy and peace to come from the finished work of Christ on the cross.\n9. Hebrews 12:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.\nAre you searching for happiness in all the wrong places?\nThings will never give you true happiness. Stuff is killing us in this world. Things are only obstacles that get in the way of an eternal perspective. Some of the wealthiest people are some of the saddest. You might see them smiling in photos, but wait until they get alone. Things will never fill the loneliness in your heart. It will only keep you longing for more in your pursuit of happiness.\n10. Proverbs 27:20 Just as Death and Destruction are never satisfied, so human desire is never satisfied.\n11. 1 John 2:16-17 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.\nUnrepentant sin leads to depression and decreases happiness. You must come to repentance.\n12. Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.\n13. Psalm 32:3-5 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.\nWhat are you feeding your mind? Negative things decrease your happiness as well.\n14. Philippians 4:8-9 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.\nRead God’s Word daily: Wisdom and fear of the Lord brings happiness.\n15. Proverbs 3:17-18 She will guide you down delightful paths; all her ways are satisfying. Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her; happy are those who hold her tightly.\n16. Psalm 128:1-2 A Song of Ascents. How blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, Who walks in His ways. When you shall eat of the fruit of your hands, You will be happy and it will be well with you.\nJesus is the answer. Go to Him.\nWe must pray for true happiness in Christ daily.\nWhen you put your trust in the Lord you will have peace and joy in the trials.\n19. Proverbs 31:25 She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.\n20. Psalm 9:9-12 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. Sing the praises of the LORD, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done.\n21. Isaiah 26:3-4 You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD himself, is the Rock eternal.\nWe are called to enjoy life in the present. It is a gift from the Lord.\n22. Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil–this is the gift of God.\nWhen you are happy what do you do? Every single time that I’m happy I give God praise because I know it is only possible because of Him. Always give God glory for every piece of happiness and give Him the glory when you are feeling down. God will refuel your joy.\n23. James 5:13 Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise.\n24. Ecclesiastes 7:14 When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, no one can discover anything about their future.\n25. 1 Corinthians 10:31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. |
A new decree issued in Turkey on Monday created 10,000 more positions for “neighborhood watchmen” (bekçi in Turkish) upon the request of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.\nThe decree, published in the Official Gazette, created the positions under the Ministry of Interior’s Directorate of Security (EGM).\nErdoğan said in a speech that he wanted to hear the whistle of the neighborhood watchmen when he goes to sleep at night. Erdoğan further said he wanted residents to know that somebody is watching out for their security on the street while they are asleep.\nHowever, many are concerned about possible intelligence collection and invasion of privacy with the reinstitution of the system in Turkey.\nThe neighborhood watchman system existed several decades ago but was eliminated in 1990.\nIn 2017, an initial 7,000 neighborhood watchmen were employed by the government, with Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu saying he considered Erdoğan’s remarks an instruction. |
Mikes career started at an early age, working with his high school teacher preparing working drawings in the summer of 1975. After graduation, Mike moved on to the architectural program at SAIT, eventually landing his first job at NU-WEST Homes in 1978. After 2 years with NU-WEST, Mike partnered with Tim Luini and a company called Luini and Associates.\nBy 1980, Mike purchased the company and changed the name to MTB Design-Tech. Many of the early clients included some of the industry leaders of today. Cardel Homes, Mauro Bros which became Albi Homes, Homes by Avi, Sandlewood Developments, Westglen Homes, Maillot Homes, and B&H Homes which became Jayman Homes were just some of the clientele in those days.\nBy 1985, MTB Design-Tech was purchased by one of the senior partners and Mike once again struck out on his own. The new company, Tricor Designs Ltd, worked exclusively for three corporations, Sandlewood, Westglen and Maillot Homes.\nSince 1985, Tricor has produced some of the finest custom homes in the city and has completed over 9000 custom homes, townhomes, villas, multi-family units and renovations since then. As lead designer, many of the projects have been Mikes creations, and some with collaboration from other designers and builders.\nMike is also actively involved in volunteering with CRHBA and the Student House program at the High School and SAIT levels. The program started in the early 70s and Mike participated in both competitions, winning both in consecutive years. In 1978, working with NU-WEST, and now being in the industry, Mike was asked to help judge the competition, which eventually lead to chairing the program, and has since been active continuously for over 31 years and counting. |
I don't exactly advocate cooking in the microwave. In fact, I prided myself living without one for 2 years in a 5th floor East Village walk-up, even popping my own popcorn over the stove, and assiduously reheating all leftovers in a saucepan. Turns out, though, that the environmental impact of a microwave isn't so bad; from a health standpoint, you just need to cover over with paper towels or wax paper when cooking, instead of plastic wrap.\nSo when I recently read that microwaves turn out quick polenta with no clumping and easy clean-up, it seemed worth a try. This entire recipe cooks in 10 minutes.\n1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the blueberries and 1/4 cup of the sugar.\n2. Cover with wax paper (I like the unbleached soy wax paper from If You Care) and microwave for 3 minutes, stirring halfway through. The sugar should be dissolved. Set aside.\nBy the 7th minute, it should be thick and bubbly. Remove from the microwave and stir in the vanilla and salt.\n5. Top each serving with about 3 tablespoons blueberry topping and serve warm.\nColor me impressed, microwave. You produced a creamy, sweet cornmeal pudding that was just delightful. I'm not sure I've ever eaten anything quite like this, only kept thinking it had a very Colonial American taste. The closest thing would probably be the Tortitas de Maiz I prepared for this blog, except this would be the warm pudding version of those cooked patties. The vanilla stirred in at the end is just fantastic, and the blueberry topping is sweet and syrupy. Delicious all around, and bonus points for easy clean-up.\nUpdate: Leftovers are quite good chilled, despite the recipe instructions to serve warm, so fret not if you have extras. |

Is it just me or is Zulily one of the best places to find unique products online? I love how easy it is to shop there and so far, I’ve not received anything damaged by them. I’m currently waiting on 3 orders to arrive which I’ll share below as well as the items that have arrived. Because I spend so much time in my kitchen (I love to cook), all but one of the items are for my favorite room in my apartment.\nThese are the 3 orders I’m waiting on, actually, I should say 2 orders, 3 products. I bought 2 of the 10” Magnetic Knife Bars. They’re currently out of them but if you click on the heart at the top to be notified when they return, like I did, you’ll need to zap them up quickly. They had 2 left when I received my notification I bought them both. So don’t wait around. I haven’t decided if I’m going to keep them or give them to my daughters. I’m working on Christmas already. Yes, you read that right. The other item I’m waiting on look so vintage, Brass & Resin Magnifying Spectacles, I thought they’d be darling on my bookshelf. Okay, who am I kidding, I’m going to use them to read with. I just bought new glasses and I can’t get used to the bifocals. I spent a small fortune on them and I can’t even use them *wwhaaaa.a* The spectacles are currently out of stock as well but select to be notified when they arrive.\nNow for the goodies that have arrived.\nWhite ‘Fresh Homemade Cookies’ Personalized Treat Jar. I adore all things personalized so of course, this caught my eye. I’m always baking or buying cookies from Subway so I thought it was a smart purchase. I’m planning to buy some for my daughter AND DIL for Christmas. Again with that C word. I know, it’s too early to be thinking about it right now. But I am. This product ends tomorrow so if you’re going to order it, do it now, or buy it on Amazon. I’ll include the link below.\nMy 5th item is way larger than I thought it would be which is not a bad thing. Chrome Linear Curved Fruit Bowl.\nIt holds about 2 bags of fruit which don’t last long around here. If it ever quits storming, I’ve got to go stock up again. I originally bought it for a DIY project. I wanted to use painters tape and tape it one way and paint it gold. Then when I remove the paint, it will be silver the other way. But everything about it is larger than I expected and I happen to think it’s perfect as it is. What do you think? Would you do a 2 tone paint or leave it the way it is? This too is out of stock but you can select to be notified if it comes back in stock.\nThat’s all of my May purchases for now but we’re only halfway through the month and I’m certain I’ll find more great buys. In the meantime, if you don’t want to wait for any of these products to come back in stock, I’ve found some suitable replacements from Amazon. If you make an Amazon purchase using any of my below links, I will receive a small commission in the form of a gift card, at no extra charge to you. For the rest of you who’d rather wait, the products are worth the wait. |
Hello Everyone! Hope you are alright So I have had ARK for a while but to be honest I have never ever played it and whenever I spawn I just get eaten or slapped into the next millenia by a dinosaur! haha What is the best place to begin? Sorry if this is a silly question, I've always loved watching videos of this game, just never got the hang of it.\nThe southern spawns are generally safer, you'll want to stick to the beach and away from swamp and snow.\n@lilpinkninja Welcome to ARK!!!! If you ever have any questions, feel free to hop on our teamspeak. Hope to see you around.\nI agree with the south and the beaches. A lot of the players on our server are very helpful and can help you get started. If you spawn in the northeast near the hidden lake we can give you a few basic items to get started. If you want to go solo you can. I suggest gathering berries by pressing E near a bush and punching out a dodo first. Then feed it berries. If it looks like it will wake up, then remote use the Narcoberries. Dodos lay eggs that you can eat and take 8 days to go bad. They can also help protect you.\nI will be on tonight if you want help getting started. Its a fun game, but as most sandbox games can get overwhelming. Come join us in teamspeak and we can help you out.\nIf you can get yourself to level 15 I believe it very much helps to make a raft, then it will allow you to move around the island until you find a more permanent place to live and you can make a base on top of it as well. I do this on every server that I have been on. Hope you find that info useful! |
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) _ A 69-year-old mid-Missouri woman is hospitalized with serious injuries after being attacked by a bull.\nThe Columbia Daily Tribune (http://bit.ly/1qOngg6 ) reports that the woman was injured Thursday afternoon in Boone County. Authorities say the woman and her husband were in a pasture at their home with the bull, which they own, when it turned on her.\nThe woman was flown to University Hospital in Columbia with severe lacerations to her head and right leg, several broken ribs and internal bleeding. Southern Boone County Fire Protection District spokesman Price Nichols says her injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.\nThe woman’s name has not been released. Her husband was not hurt. |
Kristen Bell’s mother had quite the solution to her joining an all-boys baseball team as a child.\nThe 36-year-old actress made an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden on Wednesday night, where she revisited her wonder years.\n"I was pretty scrappy," Bell told Corden of joining the team. "My mother made sure that I would not take any flak from anybody, because she gave me a real disastrous sort of haircut."\n"What she did to make sure I fit in with the boys, was she took the bangs past the forehead, past the ear, all the way down to the back, which I believe we now call a mullet," she said as Corden showed the audience the adorable evidence.\n"I was one of the first," she joked. "So I never had any problems, because everyone thought I was one of the little boys."\nIn addition to haircuts, it seems Bell's parents also had a knack for Halloween costumes.\n"Puberty is a challenge. Be nice out there, yall," The Good Place star captioned a hilarious throwback Thursday snap.\nThese days, it's Bell's own daughters, 3-year-old Lincoln and 1-year-old Delta, who have an input on her looks.\n"I got ready at a room around the corner actually, my kids like to pick sequins off of things and this would have been very dangerous," she told ET of the Zuhair Murad gown she wore to the Emmys. |

If you are planning on getting a freestanding air conditioner to help keep one of the rooms in your home cooler during those warm months, you want to make sure you know about the different features they can come with and how those features may help a unit meet your needs the best. This article will go over some of the features you can find offered on different freestanding units so you can choose the best one for your needs.\nThe BTUs refer to the amount of space the air conditioner can cool. The lower number of BTUs a unit has, the smaller the room it will be able to cool off. This information should be listed right on the packaging.\nSome of the freestanding units will give you the option of setting a timer. This will cause the unit to turn on and off at a certain time. This allows you to get the room comfortable before you get home and ensures the unit will turn itself off if you forget.\nIf you are going to need to worry about getting a heater for the cooler months, then you may want to consider going with a freestanding unit that functions as both a heater and an air conditioner.\nA freestanding air conditioner can be very portable and have a handle for pulling it as well as wheels. Then, there are other models that are a bit bigger in their design, clunky and have no wheels. If you are going to want to move the unit to different rooms from time to time, you want one that's easy to move.\nIf you are a person who has a hard time getting comfortable, you may want to consider getting a unit that comes with a remote control. This way, you can control the temperature from across the room.\nIf you are going to be using your AC a lot, it will become a permanent fixture in your home. They come in different styles and colors. This allows you to go with one that goes with the rest of your décor.\nYou can purchase a unit that has a humidifier. This will help to remove moisture from the air to further the level of comfort you experience in your home.\nNow that you have a better idea of some of the features you can look for, you may have an easier time deciding on which one will be the best fit for your home. If you are interested in having a permanent air conditioning system put in, you can call an HVAC technician (such as one from A Absolute Plumbing & Heating) out to look at your home and give you an estimate. |
A LOOK AT ISSUES INVOLVED IN DIVORCE - The Law Offices of Mary Ann Beaty, P.C.\nMany Texas residents may have uncertainties when it comes to how a divorce will proceed. There are many variables, and every divorce case is unique. Most soon-to-be divorced couples have certain goals regarding how they want areas of a divorce to play out. When these divorcing couples are exposed to the legalities involved in divorce, these goals may change or vary. An attorney can help a divorcing spouse decide on the best plan of action for his or her unique case.\nIn divorce, there are a number of issues that play a part in most cases. For divorcing couples with children, there are other issues as well that spouses without children do not need to worry about. For both parents and non-parents, the issues of property division and alimony may both need to be resolved in divorce. Property division, as the name implies, simply involves how marital assets will be divided, that is, who gets to keep what, such as the family house, cars, boats and the like.\nAlimony is also known as spousal support and takes the form of regular payments that one spouse has to make to the other. This is not applicable to every couple but may be necessary in such situations as when one of the spouses gives up a job in order to raise children.\nFor divorcing spouses with children, the issues of child support and child custody may play important roles in divorce. Child support is a regular payment that is made by the noncustodial parent to the custodial parent. Child custody determines where and with whom the children will live and how decisions will be made.\nDivorce can involve many issues and it is often important to be aware of the nuances involved in each. Attorneys are available to help divorcing spouses understand these nuances and decide on a course of action. |

The most common kind of golf game that is played, among both professionals and amateurs, is stroke play. However, there are many other forms of the game that can be played on North Myrtle Beach golf courses and can be just as fun as stroke play.\nThe most popular variety of golf other than stroke play is match play. Although stroke play is the most popular form, many professionals and amateurs indulge in match play, either in tournaments or casually against friends. Match play pits two golfers against each other. The player with the lowest score on a hole wins the hole. If both players tie, the hole is halved. The player who wins the most holes at the end of the round is the winner. A variety of match play is the skins game, where instead of the lowest score winning the hole, the lowest score earns a skin, which is a designated amount of prize money. A halved hole results in the next hole being worth the combination of the prize money of the current hole and the halved hole(s).\nAnother variety of golf is stableford. Stableford is not much different from stroke play. The distinction between stableford and stroke play is the scoring system. While stroke play adds up the number of strokes for each hole, stableford assigns a point value for each score. A bogey is worth one point, a par is worth two, a birdie is worth three, and an eagle is worth four. The player with highest point total at the end of the round is declared the winner.\nWhile many varieties of golf are similar to more popular varieties, a unique variety of golf is Bingo Bango Bongo. In this game, each hole has five points available; one (the Bingo) for the first player on the green, one (the Bingo) for the closest player to the hole after all players are on the green, and one (the Bongo) for the first player to get their ball in the hole. The lowest score on the hole earns two points. In order for this game to be properly played, the honors system must be observed, where the farthest player from the hole plays first and the lowest score on the previous hole tees off first.\nAlthough the overwhelming majority of serious golfers on our popular North Myrtle Beach golf courses indulge in stroke play in order to measure themselves against par, these varieties on the game of golf can be a fun way to keep things from getting stale, or a way to earn a little money from your friends. |
Could epigenetic factors explain the hereditary factor and the environmental factors in endo?\n"Endometriosis, a common, benign, estrogen-dependent disease affecting 3-10% of women of reproductive age, is characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue that is found primarily in the peritoneum, ovaries and rectovaginal septum. Recently, endometriosis has been alternatively described as an immune disease, a genetic disease and a disease caused by exposure to environmental factors, in addition to its usual description as a hormonal disease. In addition, accumulating evidence suggests that various epigenetic aberrations play definite roles in the pathogenesis of endometriosis."\n"Unlike DNA mutations, epigenetic modifications are dynamic, constantly affected by environmental and lifestyle factors, which makes enzymes that affect epigenetic changes sought-after targets for drug development. Santanam emphasizes that so little is known about the epigenetics of pain. "When you look at pain research, they mostly focus on back pain, fibromyalgia – those types of diseases. There are only now looking at epigenetics of pain," says Santanam. "If you look at all the other fields, there are already epigenetic-related drugs available in the market."\n"Conclusions: Our findings suggest that an epigenetically suppressed tumor suppressor gene is involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis by creating the proliferative, antiapoptotic, and other disease-specific characteristics of endometriosis. The results also suggest that histone deacetylase inhibitors are promising agents for the treatment of endometriosis."\n"Epigenetics is the study of changes in gene activity which are not caused by changes in the DNA sequence. It is the study of gene expression, the way genes bring about their phenotypic effects.\nThese changes in gene activity may stay for the remainder of the cell's life and may also last for many generations of cells, through cell divisions. However, there is no change in the underlying DNA sequence of the organism. Instead, non-hereditary factors cause the organism's genes to behave (express themselves) differently." |

In Virginia, Brandon Lockett is charged with felony child neglect, improper disposal of a human body and obstruction of justice in connection with missing toddler, Aveion Lewis. A search warrant has been issued and the investigation has resumed into this tragic case involving a missing two-year-old boy that is thought to be dead.\nNews stories report that Aveion Lewis was returned to the home of Brandon and Morgan Lockett after spending time in foster care. He had previously been removed from their custody due to neglect. He returned to the Lockett’s home in September and has been missing since January 14th.\nThe FBI and Roanoke Police are involved in this investigation. |
One of the best ways to achieve a straightened smile with the least amount of trouble is to wear Invisalign braces, as this innovative system fixes the positioning of teeth without the need for a clunky, unattractive, uncomfortable metal framework. Read below to learn more about this advanced orthodontic treatment, and call Hilton Head Dental Team in Hilton Head Island, SC, if you are interested in Invisalign.\nInvisalign is an orthodontic system that requires the patient to wear a series of plastic, molded, tooth-shaped trays over a set period of time which can range from six months to over a year, depending on the individual's orthodontic needs. The trays have grooves for the teeth that encourage them to change position slowly and gently, and as they conform to the mold of each Invisalign tray, the teeth settle into their new alignment. The result is a straighter, more properly arranged set of teeth that you can feel confident about!\n- You are in good general dental health with strong bone tissue, which can be confirmed by your Hilton Head Island dentist.\n- Your orthodontic problem is relatively minor, such as a small gap between the front teeth, a slight protrusion, or a bit of crowding.\n- You have the discipline to wear a plastic tray at least 20 to 22 hours per day.\nSometimes Invisalign braces are called “invisible” braces because many people don’t notice that you’re wearing them—at least not until you are up close and personal with them. This is one of the reasons why it’s such an in-demand orthodontic treatment. Another major benefit to Invisalign is that it gives you certain freedoms that you can’t get with standard metal braces. For instance, you can remove them to eat, brush, and floss properly each day.\nOnce you make the decision to straighten your teeth using Invisalign braces, the next step is to have your dentist model your smile to create the plastic trays you’ll need to wear. Call (843) 681-9666 today to schedule an appointment at Hilton Head Dental Team in Hilton Head Island, SC, to get the process started! |

We analyze the impact of the most recent global financial crisis (GFC) on the seven most important Latin American stock markets. Our mean-variance analysis shows that the markets are significantly less volatile and, in general, investors prefer to invest in the post-GFC period. Our results from the Hurst exponent and runs and variance-ratio tests show that the randomness and efficiency have been improved after the GFC. The stochastic dominance test shows that the markets are efficient, there is no arbitrage opportunity due to the GFC in our studying period, and, in general, investors prefer investing in the post-GFC period. The results confirm that the 2008 global financial crisis does have some positive impacts on Latin American stock markets. Our findings provide important information for investors and market regulators in their decision making in investment and setting regulations. |

The Turkish edition of The Perfect Comeback of Caroline Jacobs has arrived!\nIt never stops being exciting to see the international editions of my books arrive on my doorstep.\nJust this week we sold the Taiwanese rights to my next novel, 16 Truths About Love, which will publish in the fall of 2019. And The Other Mother, which will publish a year after that, will publish first in the UK in the spring of 2019.\nPublishing internationally is something I never imagined happening when I published my first novel in 2009. In addition to the excitement of knowing that your story is traveling the world and the financial benefits of publishing a book in two dozen countries, I hear from international readers all the time, often through the magic of Google Translate.\nRecently, Mexican teenage girls have been writing to me about my first and third novels, wanting to know what happens next.\nIt’s a strange, strange world.\nI opened the Turkish edition of my book, mostly to see what Turkish looked like, and look what I found. Inside the book, affixed to the binding with a perforated edge, is a bookmark designed to appear like the cover of the book.\nAlso, why don’t we get something like this in the United States? I’m suddenly feeling like our American publishers are letting us down a bit. |
God knows you. He engraved your name on His hands and keeps your tears in a bottle (Isa 49:16; Psalm 56:8).\nGod knows you. And He is near you! How far is the shepherd from the sheep?

The poor need you; the lonely need you; the church needs you...the cause of God needs you. You are part of “the overall purpose He is working out in everything and everyone” (Eph. 1:11 MSG).\nThe Kingdom needs you to discover and deploy your unique skill. Use it to make much out of God.\nGod is with us; we are not alone! |
The 1990 and 1998 amendments to the INA implemented a limit of 115,000 on the number of persons who may receive H-1B status in each fiscal year (FY 1999-2000). The visas decreased to 107,500 in fiscal year 2001 and to 65,000 in fiscal year 2002. The limit of 65,000 per annum remains in place today. However, an additional 20,000 H-1B visas are available to foreign workers who have obtained a master’s degree or higher from a U.S. academic institution. Furthermore, foreign workers with offers of employment from institutions of higher education, related or affiliated nonprofit entities, or non-profits research organizations are exempt from any numerical limitations. Extraordinary ability entertainers, athletes and artists (now under the O and P visa categories) were removed from the H-1B category classification. The most significant change is that an H-1B approval from the USCIS can only occur upon prior approval of a labor condition application (LCA) by the Department of Labor (DOL).\nUnder the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”), the H-1B category is available to a foreign worker seeking to enter the United States for the purpose of working in a “specialty occupation”.\nThe term “specialty occupation” is defined in the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) as an occupation that requires a theoretical and practical application of a highly specialized body of knowledge and the attainment of a bachelor’s or higher degree (or its equivalent) in the specific specialty. Pursuant to the federal statute the list of potential occupations that fall within the term “specialty occupations” is not limited to the professions stated in the statute. As long as an occupation can be shown to fall within the ambit of the above definition, the job position can qualify for H-1B status.\nCertain occupations have no trouble meeting this definition, because specialty occupations are deemed to include “professions.” INA § 101 (a) (32) states that the term “profession” shall include but not be limited to architects, engineers, lawyers, physicians, surgeons and teachers in elementary or secondary schools, colleges, academies or seminaries. These occupations would easily qualify for H-1B status because each one is specifically mentioned in the statute.\nthe nature of the job duties are so specialized and complex that the knowledge required to perform the duties is usually associated with a bachelor’s degree or higher.\nthat certain supporting documents will be made available for public examination within one (1) working day of filing the LCA.\nhas more than 50 full time equivalent employees in the United States and at least 15 percent of whom are H-1B non-immigrants.\nAn H-1B visa is initially valid for up to three (3) years. Extensions may be requested up to a maximum stay of (6) years in either H or L status. The H-1B worker must then reside outside the United States for at least one (1) year before becoming eligible for H status again. The limit of 6 years is extended if ETA-9089 & I-140 are filed & approved.\nPursuant to Federal Regulation 8 CFR § 214.2 (h)(6)(vi)(E), the employer of an H-1B worker will be liable for the reasonable costs of return transportation of the alien abroad, if the alien is dismissed from employment for any reason by the employer before the end of the period of authorized admission. If the H-1B beneficiary voluntarily terminates his or her employment prior to the expiration of the validity of the petition, the H-1B beneficiary has not been dismissed. This provision applies to any employer whose offer of employment became the basis for the alien obtaining or continuing H status. However, there is no statutory or administrative mechanism for enforcing this obligation.\nThe doctrine of dual intent is statutorily recognized for the H-1B category. Therefore, the H-1B status holder can stilll pursue his/her status permanent residency without being required to maintain a foreign residence.\nThe H-1B worker’s spouse or unmarried children under age 21, who are accompanying or following to join the H-1B worker, can be admitted as H-4 dependents. H-4 dependents are not permitted to engage in employment except spouses of an H-1B principal who is the beneficiary of an approved Form I-140 or have received the H-1B beyond the six (6) year limit. However, the dependents may study and also engage in activities ordinarily permitted for B-2 visitors. The doctrine of dual intent is also recognized for H-4 dependents of H-1B workers. |

These two tired bird dogs are just getting back from a short "roading" jaunt. What a great way to get some dogs into shape. It amazes me that they love it! They pull as hard as they can as long as they can. It's a simple set up using roading harnesses. Eventually, I'll get up to 4 dogs per run. Right now, I'm waiting for the pasture to get cut- I don't want to get all four dogs on the road at once. Once the hay is cut, we'll be able to make loops of the fields as much as we want. |
In spite of his leaked opening statement a day before the proceedings that could be described as wholly benign, former FBI Director James Comey came out swinging this morning as he addressed the Congressional assembly.\n“it confused me when I saw on television the president saying that he actually fired me because of the Russia investigation and learned, again, from the media that he was telling, privately, other parties that my firing had relieved great pressure on the Russia investigation.\nWhile the questions and answers during the grilling were, for the most part, respectful, yet probing, no “smoking gun” of collusion with the Russians or obstruction of justice regarding the investigation were revealed. Not surprising. Donald Trump hasn’t become the ruthless business mogul by neglecting to leverage intimidation with total regard in avoiding prosecution.\nThe most damaging allegations involved Comey’s interpretation of Trump’s statement that he “hoped” Comey would drop the investigation into fired National Security Adviser General Michael Flynn. Comey admitted feeling so “stunned” by Trump’s action to dismiss every other witness to their conversation and his repeated pleas to drop the investigation that he committed to memory every word for documentation. He confessed that he had never felt this degree of doubt and intimidation with either President George W. Bush or President Obama.\nSeveral times during questioning, James Comey declined to answer based on his lack of specific knowledge, or deference to the ongoing investigation under current FBI Director Robert Mueller. He promised to reveal more details in a closed session.\nIt is not openly known to what extent that further testimony to Congress behind closed doors will reveal any criminality on the part of the new President. House Speaker Paul Ryan excused President Trump’s bad behavior by stating, “He’s new to government. And so he probably isn’t steeped in the long-running protocols that establish the relationships between the D.O.J., F.B.I. and the White Houses.” Isn’t that why Republicans elected him? Because he’s “not a politician”? I guess they got what they wanted.\nDemocrats will crow over the allegations while Trump will crow even more loudly over his vindication. In the meantime, Americans feel the sting of this whiplash.\nThis debacle did substantiate the tyrannical tendencies of an egotistical demagogue that expects oaths of “loyalty” from his subjects unless they want to face unpleasant consequences. |
Bidding farewell to the room and bed @ BLU Home Guesthouse that has kept me warm and well-rested for the past 6 nights.\nAnd this is me saying: HELLO JEJU ISLAND!\nEmbracing the next part of my adventure with KRISPY in Jeju!!

Insanely excited to meet Kris!!\nP.S. Ever since I’ve stopped wearing makeup and eyeliner outside of work, I realise I’m looking more and more…like my brother. Gasp. |
Two Types of Transformer in Common Use.\nWhen the magnetic circuit takes the form of a single ring encircled by two or more groups of primary and secondary windings distributed around the periphery of the ring, the transformer is termed a core-type transformer.\nWhen the primary and secondary windings take the form of a common ring which is encircled by two or more rings of magnetic material distributed around its periphery, the transformer is termed a shell-type transformer.\nActually, core-type (or “core-form”) in U.S. Power-transformer engineering usage means that the coils are cylindrical and concentric (the outer winding over the inner) whereas shell-type (or “form”) denotes large pancake coils that are stacked or interleaved to make primary-secondary (P-S) groups.\nExcept for certain extremes of current rating, the choice between the core- and shell-type construction is largely a matter of manufacturing facilities and of individual preference.\nCore-form transformer characteristic features are a long mean length of magnetic circuit and a short mean length of windings. The three-leg (one active leg) and four-leg (two active) construction of single-phase cores and the five-leg (three active) construction of 3-phase cores are used to reduce overall height.\nIn these cases, the core encloses the cylindrical windings in a similar fashion to the shell-form construction. The simple concentric primary (inside) and secondary (outside) winding arrangement is common for all small- and medium-power transformers.\nHowever, large MVA transformers frequently have some degree of interleaving of windings, such as secondary-primary-secondary (S-P-S). The core-form construction can be used throughout the full size range of power transformers.\nShell-form transformer characteristic features are short mean length of magnetic circuit and long mean length of windings. This results in the shell-form transformer having a larger area of core and smaller number of winding turns than the core form of same output and performance.\nAlso, the shell form would typically have a greater ratio by weight of steel to copper. |
The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine has established a new Center for Cellular and Molecular Engineering in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and appointed as its founding director, Rocky S. Tuan, a world-renowned expert in stem cell biology and tissue engineering.\nFor more than 30 years, Tuan has studied the workings of the musculoskeletal system and its diseases, including cartilage development and repair, cell signaling and matrix biochemistry, stem cell biology, nanotechnology, and many other orthopaedically relevant topics.\nThe purpose of the new Center for Cellular and Molecular Engineering is to develop the knowledge base and the technical know-how toward the restoration of organ functions by applying principles of cellular and molecular biology as well as the physical sciences and engineering, Fu said. Novel approaches—such as stem cells, biomaterials, nanotechnology, and bioreactors—will be utilized to advance skeletal tissue engineering and regeneration.\nSince 2001, Tuan has been chief of the Cartilage Biology and Orthopaedics Branch at the National Institute of Arthritis, and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He received his undergraduate education at Swarthmore College and Berea College and his doctorate from Rockefeller University, New York. Prior to his appointment at NIH, he held professorships in orthopaedic surgery at the University of Pennsylvania and at Thomas Jefferson University, where he also was vice chair and director of research in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. He currently has adjunct appointments at George Washington University School of Medicine and Georgetown University School of Medicine.\nTuan’s wife, Cecilia Lo, has been appointed founding chair of a new department of Developmental Biology in Pitt’s School of Medicine [see accompanying article]. Both Lo and Tuan have served on many professional committees and boards, published significant research papers in top-tier scientific journals, and delivered invited talks at highly regarded academic centers.\nThey will begin their positions this summer. They have been married for 33 years and have one child. |
Research has indicated that a focus on phonics can go a ways in activating the sections of the brain necessary for expert reading. The same as with reading instruction, a comprehension of neural processes may also inform writing instruction. Put simply, part of the practice of learning is learning how much we still will need to learn!\nThe thesis also has the outcome of the research study, Get More Information which is viewed by some as the most significant portion of the thesis since its goal is to donate to the literature. Once you are in possession of a very first draft of your literature review it’s possible that you assess how well you’ve achieved your aims. It is possible to either compose a literature based dissertation in 14 weeks, which ought to cover a present problem.\nQuite obviously, the degree of research corresponds with the period of your dissertation. Once you are in possession of a very first draft of your literature review it’s possible that you assess how well you’ve achieved your aims. A literature review isn’t the introduction of your dissertation and neither it’s a bibliography at which you can just list down specifics all the previous researches http://dabwalicity.tk/2019/03/26/summary-paper-example-guide/ conducted on the analysis.\nNursing as a Subject Nursing is among the frontier practices of health science that focus on providing primary services to patients. Problems with advisors at online institutions are really challenging to control. Textbooks remain as the most essential source to come across models and theories regarding the research area.\nThe various characteristics of the topic has to be raised and answered theoretically. You have to find a manageable topic one that has not yet been researched excessively nor so under-researched that there’s no literature available that you build on. Writing your literature review in MLA format may be an intimidating task and as such you may wish to receive all of the assistance and ideas that you can find.\nMake certain that your suggestions for more research serve to link your project with different projects later on and offer a more chance for the reader to better understand you can try this out that which you have done. Fluent readers are normally able to read almost effortlessly. Our fundamental aim is to always provide superior essay writing services and deliver exceptional customized papers at a rather competitive rates.\nThe very first step in the dissertation is to select a general topic to research. So, you’re starting to take into consideration your dissertation, and you’ve grasped. A dissertation is a certain type of academic undertaking.\nQuantitative performance reviews, on the flip side, look at job performance in conditions of issues which can be measured, including sales figures. For some skills, you can discover online tools that will supply you with feedback. An advisor with a string of publications on their record and many research projects may seem good on paper, but they don’t necessarily make great advisors because graduate students can at the base of their priorities.\nIt’s also important to find the writing stage as a portion of the research process, not something which happens after you’ve finished reading the literature. Writing a crucial analysis of a quick story is a means to expand on simply reading the story. If that’s the case, locating a book at the correct reading level, with a compelling and age-appropriate story, may be the solution.\nThe methodology needs to be linked back to the literature to spell out why you’re using certain strategies, and the academic basis of your selection. The data analysis chapter of a dissertation is among the most essential pieces. Across academic fields, the idea of disciplinary literacy may have a range of various definitions.\nNeedless to say, you might begin at any section or chapter, provided that you own a clue of the thesis statement (main argument) and the principal ideas. It isn’t so hard to compose a homework assignment on a topic concerning health. A thorough account of your research question and why it might be worth examining. |
This smoothie is the most simple and delectable thing. Made by combining some favourites without calories and consist of refined sugar and fat. It’s easy to prepare. It turns out to be creamy and a delicious treat.\nUsing frozen pumpkin puree, gives the smoothie a lovely built-in flavour, and the yoghurt takes the sweetness over the top.

July 29, 2018 at 12:09a.m.\nProdigal Company President Jeff Hedrich’s invitation to speak at the DOYO Live digital marketing and interactive design conference in downtown Youngstown this week is just one way Prodigal and its branding process are being recognized in the marketing industry.\nLater this month, Hedrich will take his message to professionals across the state at the Ohio Marketing Summit.\nProdigal’s Brand MRI process also has caught the attention of current and prospective clients and is fueling Hedrich’s vision for the company’s future. He hopes to expand the Boardman-based business to another market.\nAs the branding agency enjoys its recent recognition, Hedrich recalled the company’s humble beginnings 25 years ago.\nHedrich got his start in the industry working for a creative agency in downtown Cleveland. A few years into his career there, he went to the owner and asked for a raise. The owner said no.\nHedrich rented a small office and worked from a closet-sized room. He enlisted family members to sit in or call the office to make the business seem more bustling.\nProdigal got its big break when Hedrich convinced Farmers National Bank to hire his firm. Soon after, Prodigal brought on Sheely’s Furniture & Appliance Co. Both companies remain with Prodigal to this day.\nProdigal faced some challenges when the tech bubble burst in the early 2000s and the financial crisis hit in 2008, but it survived thanks to client loyalty and Hedrich’s conviction that an economic downturn is the right time to gain market share, he said.\nThe company sharpened its focus on branding and began developing the Brand MRI. Hedrich said the process is an answer to an issue that came up in meetings with prospective clients – every agency had its take on branding, but none of them had a strategy.\nBrand MRI combines the theory of brand positioning with the science of behavioral economics.\nWhat resulted was a 12-week process that begins with internal focus groups, then surveys existing and prospective customers. The results show what the client is good at, what it is better at than its competitors and what customers value the most about it.\nHedrich and clients who have gone through Prodigal’s branding process say it delivers a message that will resonate with customers.\nSheely’s General Manager Jeff Curry said the Brand MRI offered the business new insights.\nCurry said the MRI showed that customers value the shopping experience there, which is unique due to sales associates not working for commission.\nLooking to the future, Hedrich sees Prodigal emerging as a leading branding agency.\nThat might seem like a big dream, but Hedrich thinks it’s possible. |

Richards is the founder of the Pasadena chapter of Black Lives Matter (BLM) and is beloved in her community. As of Tuesday morning, nearly 80,000 people had signed a ColorOfChange.org petition calling on Judge Elaine Lu to free Richards.\nOnly 44 of the hundreds who had gathered for the hearing were able to squeeze into the painfully small courtroom. One of the last to be let in, I was determined to catch a glimpse of Richards. I have interviewed her twice, both times before the incident at the heart of the trial. Richards organizes in my own neighborhood of northwest Pasadena. The petite, young organizer appeared in handcuffs, vulnerable but also awed by the support she saw.\nOf the entirely non-black jury that unanimously convicted her last week, one juror wrote to the judge with a change of heart, asking Lu to impose “the minimum possible sentence for Ms. Richards,” saying, “I feel sick for upholding a law in which I do not believe.” Lu, clearly moved by that letter and many others she received from Richards’ supporters, began the hearing by announcing that she had made a tentative decision to grant probation. There was a palpable sigh of relief in the courtroom, and Richards, unable to help herself, raised her fist in the air and looked around, smiling through tears.\nDefense attorney Nana Gyamfi then spoke passionately, calling attention to the online petition and the significance of Richards’ political activism within the spectrum of this nation’s history of civil rights. She emphasized the troubled relationship the black community has with police, a relationship so frayed that she has raised her own child (Gyamfi is African-American) to not dial 911 in an emergency for fear of what police might do.\nThe prosecutor, however, was defiant, retorting that none of the political or historical context of Richards’ activism mattered and that in fact police were to be lauded for showing restraint during the altercation. She maintained that Richards deserved the full wrath of the justice system, including a stay-away order from La Pintoresca Park, where Richards organizes low-income, black youths. Richards once more reacted, letting out a pleading “no.” The park is in the heart of Pasadena’s black community, frequented by young people but also heavily patrolled by police.\nRichards and several of her friends and colleagues became involved in an altercation between Pasadena police and a black woman who had apparently left a restaurant without paying her bill. Richards, who had been leading a demonstration nearby, attempted to intervene. While she was not the only one to do so, she was the only one of the group whom the police arrested two days later and charged with “attempted felony lynching,” among other things.\nIt is the “lynching” charge that provoked the greatest public ire after Richards was convicted last week. News outlets all over the world reported that she was the first black person to be tried and convicted of such a horrendously named accusation. That a black woman was convicted of a charge stemming from the United States’ hideous history of mob murders of African-Americans struck a collective nerve. Richards is also the only BLM activist nationwide to have received such a severe sentence since the movement began in 2014.\nBut why did Richards and her friends intervene in the arrest of a stranger? Black folks and BLM activists have every reason to fear for the safety of black women being arrested by police. It is not just the high-profile case of Sandra Bland in Texas that underscores that fear; in addition to Bland, four other black women died in police custody last July alone. One report tallied 15 cases of black women who died in encounters with police. If today’s police and justice system are seen as the modern-day version of a lynch mob, there is something seriously wrong with our society.\nGyamfi has said that Richards will probably serve 36 days of her 90-day sentence—a sentence that could have been as long as four years. As is usually the case, the probation will more than likely be onerous and could blunt Richards’ activism for three long years, even though she will be able to return to the park where she organizes. The 52 anger management courses mandated in the sentence are disgraceful, however. Black women have so much to be outraged by, and yet when women like Richards use their voices, they are subject to the ugly stereotype of the “angry black woman” and are told to submerge their rage and “manage” their anger.\nI first met Richards in 2014, when BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors brought her to an interview on my show, then named “Uprising.” Cullors was among the hundreds of people demanding that the judge “Free Jasmine” this week.\nI asked her if she considered Richards’ sentence a victory or a defeat.\nAnd so the struggle for black lives continues, with the hope that Richards’ case has energized rather than dampened the movement.\nSonali Kolhatkar is a columnist for Truthdig.

Bummer. I was hoping that we'd win Honest Tea's Honest City award again (here). But apparently we came in 2nd place this year ... to Chicago.\nOn July 19, Honest Tea, the nation’s top-selling organic bottled tea company conducted a social experiment by setting up unmanned pop-up stores stocked with ice-cold Honest Tea and Honest Ade in 12 cities across the United States. Signage asking visitors to leave $1 per bottle on the honor system was posted next to a transparent (but securely mounted) cash box. In partnership with Ustream, hidden cameras were arranged to provide live video feeds of each pop-up store on the interactive honestcities.com website that documented how honest people actually were and tracked the real-time honesty results of each city.\nIn keeping with its mission-driven approach, Honest Tea is donating all of the money collected –nearly $5,000 to three non-profit organizations. Honest Tea will also match the funds collected, bringing the total donated to $10,000.\n0 Response to "Boston = 2nd Most Honest City"\nNational Hot Dog Day = Free Hot Dogs! |
