It is also very high on Raquel’s checklist of individual favorite designs. Do not, however, understand that Voltage skimps on high quality as a result of the low cost. One of the most usual consumer testimonial on this thing is that it is shocking what a wonderful product this is for the incredible price. Welcome to the Raquel Voltage Wig, a consumer favorite as well as a Raquel Welch bestseller. Description The Raquel Welch Classic Cut synthetic wig is a beautifully well balanced synthetic wig that’s ideal for any celebration. Sleek, stylish as well as unforgettable, this wig can be endured an informal purchasing trip or with an official gown for a special event. Featuring jagged bangs that can be perked, fluffed or swept sideways according to your personal choice, this bob-cut, average-sized wig falls simply above the shoulders for a contemporary appearance. This belongs to the Sheer Extravagance collection so it features a monofilament crown area, to provide the utmost in realistic look. The hair strands on top of the Raquel Welch Classic Cut artificial wig procedure 10.25 inches from the crown and hang 3.5 inches at the nape.

You can utilize level irons, curling irons and a strike clothes dryer no higher than a medium/ reduced temperature without triggering damage to this magnificent wig. Longing for Long Wig Cap The cap is very comfy! It’s wefted on the sides and back, as well as has a monofilament, hand-tied top. I constantly search for monofilament tops, since that suggests that the top of the wig looks like scalp and can be split any way you like: on the left, on the right, in the center or anywhere in between. This wig likewise has a lace front. The lace front is done actually well, as well as to top it off, the supplier did a great work with purposefully mounting the face with highlights. Since there are light items right up front, the hair knots are not visible (which can sometimes occur with shoelace fronts … if the knots are dark you’ll see dark “dots” along the lace). Readily available Shades I love that Longing for Long can be found in rooted or “darkness” shades. A little rooting looks reasonable and also makes a wig look more all-natural, to me, than a non-rooted wig. Not all colors are readily available with origins, however I enjoy to see that there are a few shade choices readily available with origins. Longing for Lengthy comes in over 20 colors, so while working with those darn little online swatches can be hard, there’s most likely a shade that will certainly work well for many women.
Dempo Sports Club, Goa [ Images ] scored once in each half to bury local outfit Mahindra United 2-0 in their opening league match of the eighth National Football League at the Cooperage, Mumbai [ Images ] on Sunday. Dempo medio Sameer Naik opened the account for the visitors with 30-year left footer to put his team ahead in the 27th minute while another mid-fielder Clifford Miranda rounded off the tally in the very first minute of the injury time off substitute R C Prakash pass in the fag end of the game. Mahindra defence proved ineffective against the Goan outfits' onslaught though the home team made a few good moves but failed to finish them. In the 22nd minute, Mahindra Striker Raphael Patron Akakpo missed from close range. Three minutes later Mahindra winger Felix Aboagye shot over with just Dempo custodian Abhijit Mondal to beat. Ten minutes after the visitors took the lead, Mahindra mid-fielder Jules Dias Alberto shot wide in front of an open goal. With just a couple of minutes to go for half time Dempo winger Isfaq Ahmed's try off Samir Naik centre was well saved by Mahindra goalkeeper Kalyan Chaubey. In the 59th minute Mahindra skipper Khalid Jamil got two good opportunities to score but missed both. First Jamil's try off substitute Rauf Khan was well saved by Mondal. Soon after Jamil shot over from close range with only the goalkeeper to beat. In the 74th minute, Dempo's R C Prakash almost made it 2-0 when his try was not collected well by Chaubey. However, their forward Sunday Seah's lob in front of an open goal was off target. In the 80th minute the hosts almost got the equaliser but Mondal came up with an outstanding save to thwart Mahindra's Patron Akakpo from scoring off substitute Rauf Khan pass. When Miranda scored during the injury time it was all over for the hosts who came up with a lackluster performance. Mahindra will take on Kolkata [ Images ] giants Mohun Bagan in their next match at the Cooperage on December four. this Users Comment article
My mother (who is 63 years old) remembers using a copybook in elementary school. She recalls practicing her letters over and over and over again. "Practice makes perfect" was the motto of her teacher. My daughters Katie and Melissa copied Scripture, poems, and rhymes from 2nd through 8th grade. I have slacked off with Abigail and Daniel, and they have not done much copying. This year I decided that copying needed to be a priority in our home and was delighted to find that Memoria Press had come out with a series of three books. Copy Book I is designed for beginning writers. It assumes limited knowledge of printing. I would recommend its use in kindergarten or first grade. Book II includes more pages to copy and uses narrower lines. I would recommend its use for first or second grade. Book III assumes that the student can copy from one page to the next and write on narrower lines. I world recommend it for second or third grade. All a student needs, beside their copybook, is a pencil and writing area. The Memoria Press copybooks come with complete directions. They follow a 5-day plan for each lesson. Day one is Bible story time; day two is for a language lesson; day three is for memory work and copying; day four is for proofreading and review of all memory work; and day five is for illustration. I follow a different approach in my home, but I like the Memoria directions. I am planning to combine their ideas with mine to come up with a new Rice family copybook plan. These books were written for use in Highlands Latin School but are perfectly suited for use in a homeschool without any modifications. I am very impressed with the work the Lowes did in producing Copybooks I, II, and III. They are neat, uncluttered, printed on quality paper, and affordable. For about $40 you get three years worth of material for copying. For future editions of Copybook II and III, I would like to suggest to Memoria Press that they change their binding. Book I is stapled and lies flat for ease of use, but books II and III are glue-bound and hump in the middle--a definite bummer for a lefty. I will definitely be using Memoria Press Copybooks with Abigail and Daniel. Abigail, age 9, suffers from messy handwriting. I decided to start her on book I and make her trace and then copy printed letters. She did the work but was not very happy. Within a few weeks, I have noticed a great improvement in her writing. She now enjoys copybook time and said, "I really love my copybook. It is a lot of fun. It helped me know how to make the letter H. I like the drawing I get to do." This is high praise from my 9-year-old.

Philately is replete with absurdity and interesting trivia. Over the years, Bhutan, a kingdom in the Himalayas, has issued many "novelty" postage stamps, which have sold mainly to collectors and contributed to the country's economic development. In 1973, Bhutan issued a group of stamps that were actually small phonograph records which played the National Anthem and local folk songs. In 2008, to celebrate the centennial of its hereditary monarchy and the crowning of its 5th king, His Majesty Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, Bhutan issued the world's first CD-ROM postage stamp. The stamp commemorates on video the anniversary, crowning, and signing of the new constitution, and visually documents Bhutan's evolution as an emerging democracy. For those who collect stamps on cover, attempting to insert a whole envelope bearing the CD-ROM stamp into your hard drive is probably not such a great idea.
Big Banks can Challenge Fintechs with Cloud BankingBy Ajay Vij, Samad Masood, Sharan Bathija October 2019 | Article | 15 min read | Email this article | Download Fintech startups keep the customer at the core Fintech startups have dominated the headlines in banking for several years now. While they represent a very small cross-section of the market, their digital strengths and speed that they bring has impressed customers and industry stalwarts alike. The key to their success is an ability to be agile and rapidly develop new features in line with customer feedback — something large incumbent banks really struggle to compete with. Take Monzo, for example. Its “Big List” had feedback and ideas for new products and features shared by customers.1 The unicorn (private companies worth more than $1 billion), in-turn, kept customers updated on the progress on each of those products. Within three months of creating its initial list, 80% of the requested add-ons and upgrades were completed.2 According to Aberdeen Group research, companies can generate a 10x greater year-over-year increase in annual revenue by adopting a voice of customer strategy.3 Forrester research has found that customer experience leaders can grow revenue nearly 6x faster than their competitors.4 Traditional banks, on the other hand, struggle. Their legacy technology and siloed data makes it hard for them to respond at pace to customer feedback and needs. This chokes innovation and slows the response to changes in products. According to Oliver Wyman, traditional banks take between three to six months to launch offerings that fintechs can introduce in two weeks.5 In one case cited by Amazon Web Services (AWS), National Australia Bank used to take weeks for the workload deployment of its forex platform before it moved this capability to AWS.6 Of course, fintech startups and traditional banks cannot be compared on a like-for-like basis. Fintech startups have a different risk appetite and funding model, and have for the most part yet to prove that they can achieve and sustain profitability. However, from a technology perspective, traditional banks can learn something from fintech startups, particularly around their use of the cloud and agile and DevOps methodologies. The challenge for banks has been a technical one — secure usage and adoption of cloud technologies to their full potential. That is until now. Cloud and open source help innovate rapidly, economically The upsurge in fast-moving, innovative startups, and fintechs, has been fueled by cloud and open source. The exponential fall in the cost of data processing from $200K in the 1980s7 to $0.03 in 20178 has made the cost of hosting, launching and testing new digital business ideas extremely cheap. Meanwhile, open-source project repositories, such as those created on GitHub, have skyrocketed, crossing over 100 million in 2018.9 These allow new businesses to design and build digital products easily and quickly by stitching together existing code. Software developers today need fewer skills and less time to make ever-more-sophisticated products. “Cloud and open source together enable businesses to rapidly iterate products at low costs” Figure 1 tracks the falling cost of computing and the increased availability of open-source code, by using the proxies of storage cost and GitHub repositories. Over this time, it’s clear to see how digital startups have benefited, using the growth in the number of unicorns. Figure 1: Startup success has been fueled by falling compute costs, and increased open-source availability Sources: Visual Capitalist, Mkomo.com, Backblaze.com, Wikipedia The key element here is the combination of cloud and open source that enables new businesses to rapidly iterate products at very little cost. They have agile and lean business models allowing them to take on calculated risks. This dynamic gives fintech startups an edge over traditional banks in the following ways: Start small, scale fast: Take one of Europe’s fastest-growing unicorns, Revolut. The startup began small in 2015, providing a forex interchange payments platform. The neobank added multiple products and services quickly — within 18 months clients could open current accounts. Insurance, crypto and stock trading services were also built. The digital bank recently received a European banking license and plans to launch savings accounts and extend loans. All this happened within a span of four years. Technology infrastructure: Startups have their infrastructure built for digital. Revolut’s platform, built on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP)10 and its suite of services, allows the fintech to scale at speed. Customers can open an account within minutes and transfer money in seconds. The bank has onboarded more than 6 million customers, with 350 million transactions worth over $40 billion.11 Digital natives: N26, a digital bank, said that its costs are one-sixth of that of any comparable incumbent bank, as its technology infrastructure works more efficiently and it does not have physical branch costs.12 Fintechs, with their digital-only approach, save significant costs compared to traditional banks. According to a recent Economist article, fintechs need to make $50 to $60 per customer to break even, and that’s including their product development and customer acquisition costs. However, for traditional banks, this figure is more likely in the region of $200 to $400 a customer.13 Quick-testing philosophy: Lean startups are often said to be based on the philosophy of “fake it before you make it” and “move fast and break things.” What this means is startups often build just the proposition but not the business functionality behind it. This allows them to be quick and test whether the proposition will work. But in a heavily regulated market such as financial services, this is not always appropriate. It’s possible to see how this new approach results in rapid growth. Again, Monzo is a great example. The unicorn is built on cloud-native technologies and open-source tools. This helps keep costs low, and speeds up product development and testing. It enabled Monzo to grow its customer base to 2.6 million in four years, thanks to its ability to rapidly deploy product features such as real-time transaction notifications, bill splitting and utility payments.14 Another example is Starling Bank, which has its IT infrastructure hosted in the cloud, resulting in a lower cost base.15 The bank’s lean and agile infrastructure equips it to quickly innovate, effectively. This digital infrastructure facilitates customer data to be fed back into the system and derive insights that help consumers make better-informed, personalized financial decisions. Technology issues weigh on traditional banks... Legacy systems are the biggest barriers to digital transformation (named by 45% of respondents) according to financial services executives survey by the Infosys Knowledge Institute in 2019.16 The reliance on legacy technology stops banks from taking advantage of agile ways of working. It also complicates and hinders banks from accessing their huge customer data for analytics and insights that improve customer experiences. Legacy technology maintenance is also expensive, with experts estimating it to be 80% of banks’ IT budgets.17 “45% of executives consider legacy systems to be the most serious barrier to digital transformation in 2019” Banks store data in various locations, often accessed by different users. This siloed approach creates multiple layers of data duplication.18 Numerous data warehouses and lakes increase storage costs and have a bearing on run-the-bank costs. Traditional banks also suffer from their inability to benefit from data analytics and insights that can improve customer decisions and experiences. Traditional banks move data manually, with project teams being set up for each data movement that can run into months. This is time-consuming and counterproductive in this digital age, where customers’ demand for instant, real-time, and personalized products and services has become the new normal.19 Customer data in any form is sensitive for banks. Cloud vendors, such as Google and Microsoft, have outstanding security expertise, and all are certified compliant with federal data governance standards. Despite this, there are still significant cultural factors to overcome. For instance, Stephanie von Friedeburg, then CIO of the World Bank, faced pushback from her legal team when she tried to move the organization to the cloud. Eventually she was able to make her case that the business agility, combined with other benefits of the cloud, outweighed its risks, and the international institution adopted cloud technology.20 This whole situation is further complicated due to the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which affects any business targeting the European market. Given the requirements that GDPR places on businesses, the ability to track and manage data lineage becomes all the more important. But it adds another layer of challenge to the financial industry, which is already swamped with large volumes of siloed, high-volume data. Legacy technology is such a barrier that the best examples of large banks launching fintech propositions are those that have been able to start from scratch, rather than building on old technology. This is very common in Asia where banks aren’t encumbered by as much legacy technology. For example, India’s ICICI Bank completely built its business on the Finacle core banking platform.21 This helped it roll out new features and products quickly. ICICI introduced India’s first mobile banking application, iMobile, in 2008, and within 10 years added over 250 services.22 In the west, the best example is Marcus by Goldman Sachs. Started in 2016, the digital bank has built its entire business on the cloud that helped it garner $50 billion in deposits, $5 billion in loan balances and nearly 4 million customers in a little under 3 years.23 To do this, Marcus has used cloud technology and agile methodologies. For instance, it used this approach when it implemented Finacle’s consumer lending solution on Goldman Sachs’ Cloud that went live in the U.S. in under ten months and within budgets.24 Yet, such spinouts are not necessarily a long term solution for traditional banks who already have retail banking operations. For Goldman Sachs, Marcus represents their very first business in retail banking. Established retail banks that take this route, however, will still eventually face the complication of integrating customers, data and processes with their parent bank. Yet this may well be worth the challenge if it means they attract a new demographic and grow market share. ... but they can now catch up A new era of cloud technology is coming for traditional banks that will enable banks to avoid starting from scratch when building modern, digital-first propositions. Code-named JuniperX — the petabyte-scale data management cloud platform, built by Infosys in partnership with one of its large banking clients enables banks to integrate their legacy data with the cloud quickly and safely. The data management platform (an end-to-end data delivery suite) could be a fundamental part in helping banks leapfrog into the cloud space and develop products quickly. In this way, traditional banks can use JuniperX to start being more like fintech startups and solve their legacy technological issues. In fact, the platform is already being used by the client as a critical enabler to benefit from new technologies and advanced analytics. JuniperX allowed the bank to move data in a scalable and an efficient manner, in line with the stringent regulations placed upon it. It had to also meet the required standards of the evolving cybersecurity and regulatory risks in the digital space. JuniperX — initially created to move data to the cloud, at scale, while simultaneously adhering to the bank’s controls — ensured the safe and consistent arrival of data. It was initially tested on the bank’s commercial banking business, and helped move the business’s daily data to the cloud. The platform reconciled and audited data feeds registered in accordance with the bank’s security standards. With JuniperX, the bank saved $8.5 million on license renewal costs for the Ab Initio software that addressed real-time data processing and application integration.25 The client also saved millions of dollars by moving over 230 terabytes of data and Teradata workloads to GCP using automation and software code conversion. This is just a glimpse of what JuniperX can enable. Once the platform is established, a bank can begin to treat the data trapped in its legacy systems as if it was in the cloud. This means it can begin to use more open-source tools to analyze data and build and test new customer features. Banks with data in the cloud and access to open source can suddenly be agile with managing their customer data. The platform can help them understand their customers better, draw meaningful insights from the data and build better financial products. As banks have significantly more data than fintech startups do, they have the opportunity to do much more with the data, such as advising corporate clients on where and how to spend their resources. Yet, traditional banks suffer from a host of other issues JuniperX solves a lot of the technical issues that banks face in utilising the cloud effectively. However, this alone will not transform a bank into an agile digital native. There are still several operational, strategic and cultural elements to be tackled: Hierarchy Traditional banks are known to operate large hierarchies and are extremely process-oriented. This slows down decision-making and increases a product’s time to market. Fintech startups, on the other hand, work in a flat environment where decisions are fast-paced and products are released quickly. Culture To be safe, steady and considerate are imbibed in the culture of every traditional bank — the opposite of how fintech startups operate. These digital natives have a consumer-centric approach and are risk-takers that help foster innovation, test quickly, fail fast and change with agility. “Digital natives are consumer-centric and risk-takers” Figure 2. Fintech startups versus incumbent banks — the positives and the negatives Source: Infosys Regulatory The banking industry is heavily regulated. A tier 1 bank can spend nearly $300 million a year to update existing software and meet regulatory requirements.26 This regulatory framework also restricts their ability to benefit from new technologies. Fintechs are not bound by regulators and can grow fast. Revolut had 3.2 million customers27 even before it had a banking license — offering prepaid forex cards and services that mirrored a checking account.28 Fintech startups focus on building the platform and enriching customer experiences. They use their partnerships with financial regulated entities to navigate regulators. For instance, before receiving its banking license, Revolut customers could open an account that was indirectly opened and maintained at either Lloyds or Barclays.29 Funding Banking is a capital-intensive business, and while traditional banks are known to be cash-rich, fintech startups are funded without a bottom line. They take on additional risks because of the availability of cheap venture capitalist funding. This stems from venture capitalists’ desire to buck the low-interest rate regime and turn their investments into unicorns. Revolut has raised $336 million from global VCs to date, making it the fastest-growing unicorn, with a valuation of $1.7 billion. It reported a loss of £7.1 million in 201630 and £14.8 million in 2017.31 Yet, venture capitalists are not shying away: Revolut plans to raise an additional $500 million in 2019.32 The era of fintech startups is such that crowdfunding has become a viable seed-funding option. In 2016, Monzo raised £1 million in 96 seconds.33 Preregistrations for Revolut’s £1 million crowdfunding garnered £12.9 million.34 The incumbent advantages Incumbents do still have a strong chance to succeed. They are well regulated; have a large swathe of customers and the data that comes with them; and benefit from economies of scale, with a combination of retail, corporate and investment banking divisions under one roof. This enables them to act as a one-stop shop for their customers. However, they need to focus these resources in a more agile way to compete with fintech startups and provide customers with responsive products. It’s also worth bearing in mind that fintech startups do not compete strongly in all areas. For instance, most charge for services such as cash withdrawals or contactless payments that traditional banks either offer for free, or price at a lower level. Also Starling and Monzo both offer interest on their current accounts, but these are not necessarily at the most competitive rates.35 Future of banking — who do you think will win: fintech startups or traditional banks? It’s too early to say who will come out on top as fintechs and traditional banks compete for customers. It’s also important to note that currently their businesses and propositions can’t be compared directly. Each have positives and negatives (Figure 2), and while banks are well funded, fintech startups seem to have no need for profitability — yet. While banks are bound in a regulatory environment, fintech startups aren’t, and they can be quite flexible in their business model. What’s clear is; by leveraging a platform such as JuniperX, they both can start benefiting from the cloud, becoming faster and more agile as a result. Technology alone isn’t the silver bullet to traditional banks’ woes; however, with JuniperX, it will be less of an issue. To become fully agile, banks need to fundamentally change their culture, increase their risk appetite and act more like their fintech competitors.

Discovering God's Vision for Your Life is a) education about spiritual gifts, calling, and discipleship, and 3) motivation for ministry. Preparing the Congregation: The Planning and Preparation Manual helps leaders build a solid foundation for teaching the course and for developing an overall spiritual gifts ministry. Leading the Course: The Leader's Guide contains everything necessary for teaching the course effectively. Those taking the course use the Participant Manual and the Haugk Spiritual Gifts Inventory, which was created over a six-year time period entailing both extensive biblical research and standard principles of psychological test construction. Course Follow-Up: The Haugk Spiritual Gifts Inventory Manual includes research statistically linking the 20 gifts measured by the HSGI to 120 typical ministry activities in congregations. The Ministry Mobilization Manual answers the question, "What do we do when the spiritual gifts course is over?" It includes instructions on how to conduct a Ministry Celebration, how to use the Ministry Activities Questionnaire, and a wealth of practical suggestions for expanding a congregation's ministry based on spiritual gifts. See the course contents. Discovering God's Vision for Your Life resources include: The course instructor uses all six of these resources (available in a Leader's Planning Set), and course participants use only items 5 and 6.

Starting with Genesis version 9.13 and Food Processor 10.14 you can deactivate the client. This is done inside of the client, so if the computer has died or you cannot access the application you cannot deactivate that installation. To deactivate open the application, then go to Help>About Genesis (Or About the Food Processor). Now click on the "Deactivate" button. The deactivate button will be replaced with "(Not Activated)". Now you can close this window and close the application and the activation will be released for this install of your program. If you close that window and try to use the application, or if you re-open the application, it will reactivate. For the future we are looking into a way to deactivate client installs remotely, that way you can deactivate a client install that is not accessible, but that is still in development with no timetable on release. What if that "deactivation" button is not visible? What do we do then?

A design icon and fast enough for Chris Boardman to win the 1994 Tour de France prologue. I prefer the BT Superbike but then again I’m Australian... And there's something special about the clean lines of a track frame... And maybe the issue of fatigue fractures seen in the Lotus top-tube... These great pics come from a Lotus enthusiast in Melbourne, Australia and posted in a Lotus (as in the car) forum. This particular bicycle was sold to another Lotus enthusiast in the UK in Dec 2006 for $7,500USD.

The Kids are Alright at Carrick Cineplex CARRICK Film Society is showing ‘The Kids are Alright’ this Thursday, February 17 in Carrick Cineplex. It’s the warm, wise humour of this US film that distinguishes it from the pack; even more so than the director’s decision to make a funny, mainstream drama about a pair of lesbian mothers and what happens when their two teenage children invite the anonymous sperm donor who is their biological father into their comfortable, progressive lives in sunny California. Starring Annette Bening, Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo, this award-winning comedy from director Lisa Cholodenko is a smart, warm statement on family values. All films are shown at Carrick Cineplex on Thursdays at 8.30pm. Everyone welcome. For further information, ring 086 3856 776. Leave your comment Share your opinions on
Professor David Tedeschi and Assistant Professor Steven Rodney, as primary instructors for Introduction to Astronomy (ASTR 101), had used active learning methods in teaching the course but saw they could do more and do it better, including applying evidence-based pedagogy. The Teaching Innovation Grant for Course Transformation, awarded by the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) with support from the Office of the Provost, offered the perfect opportunity to obtain support in revamping the course. The Course Transformation grant targets undergraduate courses with significant D/F/Withdrawal rates. The primary goal of the new grant program is to improve undergraduate student learning by incorporating evidence-based teaching and course design practices in the department-wide delivery of high-impact courses. Departments that are awarded the grant partner with the CTE in an 18-month rigorous team-based, faculty-driven process based on the nationally-recognized Course Transformation approach. Funding priority is given to general education and major-gateway courses that serve more than 100 students annually. A grant of $20,000 was awarded to the Department of Physics and Astronomy to help support Tedeschi and Rodney, as team leaders, and a graduate student in coordinating the project. The faculty-led redesign team see opportunities to creatively re-structure the course scheduling and make use of alternative classroom spaces to allow more small-class experiences for their 200+ students. They are particularly interested in exploring team-based learning as a way to give students more collaborative experiences in both the lecture and the lab components of the class. In addition, Tedeschi and Rodney view the ASTR 101 course as offering an excellent “sandbox” to test out a course transformation process that might eventually be extended to the rest of their department. Janet Hudson, former Associate Director of Innovative Teaching at CTE expressed her enthusiasm for the project. Says Hudson, “I'm excited about both the recipients and their proposed course for this first course transformation grant–ASTR 101. The faculty winners, Steven Rodney and David Tedeschi, bring energy, experience, determination and ideas supported in the literature on successful teaching and learning. Moreover, the course—Introduction to Astronomy—meets a Carolina Core requirement but is not a prerequisite course for majors and it is taught by a small number of faculty. These characteristics provide flexibility and greater opportunity for creativity. Kudos to the Physics and Astronomy department in the College of Arts and Sciences for their support of this project and openness to innovation and commitment to student learning.”
This is how 2 referees rated Adelaide: I am a patient and enthusiastic person with a passion for art and design. In my own work, I am interested in the small details surrounding me, capturing a moment otherwise unnoticed. I enjoy using layers of imagery and the written word to explore and express those moments and their personal meaning to me. I use drawing, painting, photography, collage and digital processes to create my large-scale pieces. I have worked in education for 10 years, with experience as a Secondary teacher, working with KS3, 4 and 5, for the last 4 years. I have taught Fine Art, Unendorsed Art, Graphic Design and Photography with Edexcel and OCR at GCSE level and Fine Art, Unendorsed Art and Graphic Design with OCR at AS and A level. I am passionate about finding the best way for each individual student to learn and explore their unique potential. I have a Fine Art degree, specialising in sculpture, from Falmouth College of Arts, a secondary teaching certificate, from the University of Cambridge, and further experience in drawing, painting, printmaking, mixed media and installation. I have always believed there are multiple ways to be creative and the best way to find your creative strengths are by exploring a variety of materials and processes. Creative expression offers the opportunity to stretch and broaden the imagination, allowing greater creative thinking and problem solving skills.

MHFA Australia thanks Black Dog Ride The 2013 Ride to the Red Centre raised $360,000 for Lifeline Australia and MHFA Australia, the most ever raised in a single ride in the four years since Black Dog Ride was founded. Here, the Mental Health First Aid Australia Team takes the time to thank Black Dog Ride for the significant impact Black Dog Ride has had upon improving the mental health awareness across the nation. Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Australia feels so fortunate to have been chosen as a beneficiary, along with Lifeline Australia, of this year's Black Dog Ride to the Red Centre. We would like to sincerely thank National Coordinator Steve Andrews, the rest of the Black Dog Ride Team, all of the generous donors and of course the inspiring riders who devoted their time, energy and passion to raising awareness of depression and other mental illnesses across Australia. This donation came at a wonderful time for MHFA Australia. In August last year, we moved out of an auspiced position and established ourselves as an independent national not-for-profit organisation focused on training and research. We were lucky enough to start-up (or 're-start') with a grant from the Australian Government's Department of Health and Ageing, who provided funds for the development of tailored MHFA Courses for Frontline workers (nursing and medical students, and financial counselors). The very generous donation of the Black Dog Ride will contribute to the continued growth of MHFA Australia, such as further development and diversity of our MHFA courses for varying populations. In this sense, we see the donation as helping us continue to strive for our mission to decrease the stigma associated with mental illness, and increase the mental health literacy (the knowledge and beliefs about mental disorders which aid their recognition, management and prevention) of the Australian community and communities worldwide. More on MHFA Australia's purpose here. MHFA Australia will also be putting the funds raised towards training a selection of Black Dog Riders as Mental Health First Aid Instructors so that communities in Australia can benefit from enhanced awareness of mental health problems and increased capacity to support people developing a mental health problem or in a mental health crisis. We are so grateful to have developed this partnership with Black Dog Ride, particularly given our shared missions to raise awareness of mental health illnesses. Similar to Black Dog Ride starting out as one man's ride to raise awareness of depression, which eventually evolved into a national movement, Mental Health First Aid began as two people's idea (in 1997) to develop a first aid course for depression and other mental illnesses which has spread rapidly in Australia and overseas. These people are Betty Kitchener OAM (CEO of MHFA Australia) and her husband Professor Tony Jorm. Betty had experience teaching physical first aid courses for the Australian Red Cross and had also experienced recurrent episodes of severe depression, for which she faced discrimination in the workplace because of mental illness. Tony and Betty decided to develop the Mental Health First Aid course in their spare time on weekends and conduct it voluntarily as a service to the Canberra community. Since it really got off the ground running in 2000 to present, MHFA Australia has trained over 2,581 MHFA Instructors who teach the 12-14 hour MHFA courses to members of the public across all states and territories of Australia. In our 10th year, we celebrated the significant milestone of having reached 1% of the Australian population, meaning that 170,000 adults had attended a MHFA course in Australia at that time. In 2013, this has now risen to 200,000. MHFA has also spread internationally, with Betty and other MHFA staff travelling across the world to adapt the MHFA program for use in overseas countries in collaboration with international coordinating bodies. There are now 20 international MHFA programs in operation, ranging from countries like Bermuda, and Nepal to the USA. More info on MHFA International Programs here. Since 2000, the MHFA Course curriculum has been diversified for varying populations, including Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander individuals, Vietnamese and Chinese people living in Australia, youth, adults, and frontline community workers. Our near future plans are to tailor the course for older people and Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander adolescents. So once again, from all of us at Mental Health First Aid Australia, including our small team in Melbourne, and MHFA Instructors from across Australia, we would like to thank Black Dog Ride for their generous philanthropic support and contribution to the continued growth of MHFA Australia and our overall mission of decreasing the stigma associated with mental illness.

GM "Road To Hydrogen" Tech Tour Highlights Fuel-Saving Technologies Hybrids Take A Leading Role In Seattle Stop SEATTLE - With the summer driving season beginning this weekend and increased fuel prices in the national spotlight, General Motors has taken a broad range of its fuel-efficient advanced technology vehicles to Seahawks Stadium in downtown Seattle. The GM "Road to Hydrogen" Tech Tour stop will showcase many current and future General Motors cars and trucks that dramatically reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. The Tech Tour also will set the stage for the delivery of the first of 235 GM hybrid transit buses purchased by King County. U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., will join representatives from GM, King County and Puget Sound Clean Air as the keys to the nation's largest hybrid bus fleet are delivered, offering Seattle and the surrounding areas a range of environmental benefits. The new buses can deliver up to 60 percent better fuel economy, potentially saving the county 750,000 gallons of fuel each year. GM hybrid transit buses also produce much lower hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions than conventional diesel buses, lowering particulate emissions (tiny pieces of soot and dust) by 90 percent and nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions by up to 50 percent. "King County's efforts should be considered a model to other counties throughout the nation," said Elizabeth Lowery, GM vice president, Environment and Energy. "Only through the combined efforts of governments, businesses and private citizens will advanced automotive technologies be successful in the marketplace." The Tech Tour will serve as a platform for discussion on the future of transportation. GM representatives will explain how its global presence and numerous partnerships enable it to develop and implement advanced technologies, allowing the company to apply the most innovative and appropriate technologies to define and meet customer and societal needs around the world. "It is important to address environmental and energy issues through frank discussion with our stakeholders," said Lowery. "Understanding various perspectives and building strong partnerships with academic, business and government sectors will assist us in commercializing these technologies." Throughout the day, GM technical experts will demonstrate many of these current and near-term efficient, fuel-saving technologies such as gas-electric hybrids, cylinder deactivation - also known as Displacement on Demand, alternative fuel vehicles, clean diesels and others. By offering a range of options for fuel-saving vehicles that are available today and in the near future, GM aims to provide consumers with products that meet their needs and address their concerns about fuel economy. Internal Combustion Engine Improvements One such example is Displacement on Demand, which allows a vehicle to run on half its cylinders when full power is not needed. When engine loads demand full power, the system shifts seamlessly without any input from the driver and without any compromise in vehicle performance. Displacement on Demand will appear this summer up to 8 percent (based on the EPA testing procedure). GM engineers are also developing all-new 6-speed rear- wheel-drive (RWD) and front-wheel-drive (FWD) automatic transmissions, which are expected to offer up to 4 percent improvement in fuel economy over today's traditional 4-speed automatic transmissions. Production is scheduled to begin in 2006 for FWD and all-wheel-drive passenger cars and sport-utility vehicles. "General Motors' strategy is to apply fuel saving technologies on our highest volume, highest-consuming vehicles first," said Tom Stephens, group vice president, GM Powertrain. "For example, our Advanced Hybrid System II - which is based on our hybrid bus technology - will be applied to our full-size SUVs and offers fuel economy gains of 25-30 percent." Hybrids GM is offering three different hybrid systems on three vehicle architectures, representing more than a dozen of its most popular models. In addition to the GM hybrid transit bus, Tech Tour will feature several GM hybrid trucks - the industry's first hybrid pickups. The technology improves efficiency in stop-and-go driving by shutting off the engine at idle mode and enabling early fuel cutoff to the engine during decelerations, providing drivers with up to 13 percent fuel savings. The first of 50 GM hybrid trucks ordered by Miami-Dade County was recently delivered at the 10th National Clean Cities Conference and Expo in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. It will be available to retail consumers in the state of Washington later this year as a 2005 model. Fuel Cells GM will continue its role in fuel cell development, using its portion of the recently announced federal grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to collaborate with Shell Oil, Air Products and Chemicals Inc., and Quantum Technologies. This partnership will work to develop more hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and fueling stations, in addition to furthering hydrogen infrastructure. Research efforts will take place in several states throughout the United States. "Tech Tour participants will see how GM is building on its history of technology and powertrain leadership to reduce vehicle emissions and improve efficiency," said Lowery. "We are committed to using advanced technologies to address global transportation needs." Get in the Drivers Seat — Make Local Dealers Compete for your Business — Price Quotes from The Auto Channel

By Jim Tortolano Before there were sticks in the ground or concrete to pour, there was the idea: a sprawling mixed-use development in the triangle formed by Brookhurst Street, Brookhurst Way and Garden Grove Boulevard in Garden Grove. After several failed tries and two generations, the dream is reality. The ribbon-cutting for the initial phase of the Brookhurst Place was held Tuesday afternoon. “An exciting day for Garden Grove,” said Mayor Steve Jones. “ It’s gone through several challenges. There were a couple of other developers who tried and failed. We had the Great Recession that we survived. We had the abolishment of redevelopment agencies here in California and just a lot of hurdles and obstacles, so it’s very exciting to see the actual grand opening of Brookhurst Place.” This is just the start of the largest mixed-use project the city has ever seen. When completed, the 14-acre community will include 700 residential units, a one-acre public park, an urban trail and up to 200,000 square feet of commercial and retail space. Additionally, a 100-key hotel is envisioned. That’s quite a departure from the historic roots of the site, which was originally devoted to automotive uses. Long-time residents will remember when Smith Ford, Brookhurst Dodge and even a Studebaker dealership occupied the land. The sole remaining car seller – Kia – will be relocating to a new facility on Harbor Boulevard. The developer is the Kam Sang Company. Phase I – unveiled Tuesday – included 180 apartment homes, a clubhouse and pool and Phase I of the urban trail. Phase II will include 58 for-sale condominiums, 462 apartment homes (including up to 120 affordable housing units), the second part of the trail, the park and the commercial-retail-hotel piece of the project.

The tile comes only in 24×24 size. The texture almost has a leathery feel to it. The color tone is plain with not too much variation. The black tile is more of a dark charcoal grey, and looks like a layer of cement.

NO GOING BACK is now on all your favorite reading platforms! AND it’s only $0.99 to celebrate! For the past year, Reagan has done everything she can to impress her boss and prove herself to the magazine. Past insults and accusations of sleeping her way to the top are behind her. The closest thing she has to a relationship, now, is fantasizing about her boss behind her locked office door. She’s happy to continue like this forever until Mr. Donovan suddenly needs a favor, a big favor that will leave her at the mercy of a man who could either cement her status at the magazine, or land her in underling purgatory. Mr. Donovan’s plea for help turns into a disastrous night, compounded by embarrassment at passing out drunk in her boss’s arms. To Regean, it’s a night she desperately wants to forget ever happened. To Mr. Donovan, it’s the chance to make a move he’s been waiting for, for over a year, but a threat from his past makes him hesitate. He can’t put another woman he cares about in danger, yet he can’t stay away from her, either. What started as a simple favor quickly becomes a tangled mess of past mistakes, intoxicating sex, and smoldering desire for revenge.

Pets:. Thank you so much for letting us be your guinea pigs for your very special, beautiful holiday home. We are two sisters who have come away with our children, we don't get to see each other as much as we'd like to and meeting up here has been a wonderful experience involving lots of time together, playing games, eating, relaxing and of course the hot tub proved a very big success. We enjoyed Pembrokeshire Castle in spite of the drizzle, which was offset by the sheer job of choosing our own cakes in the cake shop. The stand out was Barafundle Bay which we would definitely recommend for future visitors and we were very exceptionally lucky to have the sun shine down on us.The circuclar walks left and right from the cottage were also very enjoyed, in particular the rope swing just up the hill. But the house itself has been very special for us all, thank you so much for a very special holiday. We will definitely recommend you. We had a wonderful time, Thank you! Lovely, lovely house and beautiful surroundings our favourite day trips was the circular walk from Stackpole to Bosherston, also love Manorbier for the beach - great rock pools. The owner was so helpful and friendly too. A wonderful week in an exceptional holiday home. Perfect for a family gathering, with the river as an ever changing background. Loved Carew Castle and tidal mill - very accessible and also Picton Castle. Pub lunch in Cosheston very enjoyable with the staff helpful and going out of their way to accommodate one of our party members. Many Thanks Patsy! We were blessed with the weather to enjoy this beautiful house in a peaceful idyllic location. We are well rested after what has been a difficult few months and there is no doubt the location, garden, and views have contributed to helping us. We will miss the wonderful views and the activity on the estuary. We had 2 wonderful weeks in this house which is so lovely. We’re so sad that we have to leave today but we look back to many amazing days in those 2 weeks! We have had a really lovely family holiday. The house is beautiful and had all the amenities and we enjoyed the hot tub, particularly as the weather was changeable. Views are wonderful and the house is within easy reach of good beaches and stunning castles. Many thanks. Fantastic couple of days. Wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful surroundings and just so peaceful. Will stay longer next time. Thank you so much, a beautiful holiday home. What a lovely peaceful cottage. We have really enjoyed our stay. The views are stunning and dramatic at times due to the changing weather patterns. We have enjoyed exploring the woodland pathways and walking along the shoreline. So much to see and do! Monty the dog has thoroughly enjoyed exploring his new surroundings. A great stay in lovely accommodation (despite the rain). A beautiful part of the country – such fantastic views. An extremely enjoyable family break. Thank you. Beautiful cottage with amazing views, making our stay memorable. The hot tub was enjoyed by all!

Monday 8th April 2013 We had a lazy lie in this morning, it was 8.45 before we stirred out of bed. After getting the washing started we moved across the water into Supreme Marine's dock for a gas bottle. They're very busy in there, we had to squeeze in. I don't reckon they could accommodate so much as a rowing boat in there now. After that we pulled out and moored up near the services while I walked down the road to get a bottle of milk, it was then off through Castleford Lock and on to the Calder and Hebble. At Whitwood, where the gravel barges get filled up there is a bend in the river. It gets very shallow on the inside of the bend for quite a long way out towards the middle of the navigation. I've been caught here before so remembered to stay well to the outside of the curve. In Woodnook Lock we were joined by C&RT workboat. The crew very kindly oppereted the next two locks for us, making life very easy. Stanley Ferry wasn't crowded and we got a mooring easily. You can't pull in close here though because of the sloping sides to the navigation. Once tied up we took ourselves off the The Stanley Ferry for a drink and a spot of lunch. Great value here. Sorry, but due to spam I've had to enable verification to prove you're not a machine. Bob

Exploring is one of my many passions in life, it genuinely is what keeps me sane. I have seen the world in fragments; experiencing it from a tourist's perspective. I have visited places that are so mesmerizingly beautiful, it is hard to believe they exist. All I have left of these experiences are my memories, and what are memories without any supporting evidence? - I believe that they are snippets, snippets which are purely subjective to you and I. This is why I have set myself the challenge of creating a photographic journal, something to evidence my encounters/experiences with whatever interests me. This project has actually been ongoing for several months now, I document almost everything I do on a disposable camera. Using this specific method of photographing my subjects makes the moment more intimate and personal. I look forward to sharing more of my pictures with you.
Featured Download Speak Like a CEO This chapter describes ten helpful actions and behaviors that will bring you... Automotive IndustryIndustry: Email Alert RSS Feed GM: going electric Automotive Design & Production, Feb, 2008 by Gary S. Vasilash In reviewing the 10 years that he's been pursuing the future for General Motors, Larry Burns, GM vp of Research and Development and Strategic Planning, says that one of the interesting developments that has occurred, and which seems to be on its way to some sort of inflection point, is that there are alterative fuels emerging at a rate such that there will be significant change in the abiding transportation model that is currently 96% dependent on petroleum. Burns has long been GM's point man when it comes to hydrogen fuel cells, which seem to have been eclipsed by the introduction of the Chevy Volt, which uses an internal combustion engine as a means to power a generator that works in concert with an in-development lithiumion battery system. There is another variant, the Opel Flextreme, which uses a diesel engine. So what you're seeing here is a model that is still predicated on petroleum products. Which might make it seem that the hydrogen-powered fuel cell is no longer in the portfolio. - » But that's changed, now that GM has introduced it Cadillac Provoq concept vehicle. It uses the same fundamental E-Flex architecture as the Volt and the Flextreme, but has a fuel cell stack employed. This isn't some sort of vindication for Burns. It is simply that they're looking for energy alternatives, and hydrogen is still in the game. While there are some people who pooh-pooh the whole concept of hydrogen as being an energy source just this side of unobtainium, Burns cites a research report done by two of his colleagues at GM--Britta K. Gross, manager of Hydrogen and Electrical Infrastructure Commercialization and Ian J. Sutherland, Hydrogen Infrastructure Analyst--as well as Dr. Henk Mooiwer of Shell Hydrogen titled "Hydrogen Fueling Infrastructure Assessment." It includes, in effect, a top-10 list that walks through the amount of hydrogen being currently produced (globally: >40 billion kg); the costs associated with producing, distributing and dispensing hydrogen for use in fuel cells vehicles; and how it can be kick-started ("Natural gas provides a well-understood and relatively low-cost source of hydrogen [production of approximately $0.60 per gallon of gasoline equivalent, cost-per-mile basis]"). Importantly: "Bottom line: The hydrogen infrastructure for automobiles is economically viable and doable but requires a collective will by automakers, energy suppliers, and governments to overcome initial capitalization risks, motive early movers, and manage the transition." [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] GM is putting skin in this game in the form of dedicating an array of resources--human, technical, financial--not only for the hydrogen future, but biofuels, as well. Provocative Cadillac. So there's the Provoq. A concept vehicle. It is no mistake that this is a Cadillac rather than a Chevy. Jim Taylor, Cadillac general manager, says that within the GM organization, the brand should "cast a shadow from above." If there is going to be commercially available advanced technology, then it ought to start at Cadillac, whether it is shock absorbers with magneto-rheological fluid, or, eventually, hydrogen-powered vehicles. Cadillac does have a gas-electric hybrid in its offerings, the Escalade with the two-mode system; that's technology also available in models from its sister brands, GMC and Chevy. In the fuel-cell arena, General Motors is doing consumer testing of fuel cell technology by rolling with a fleet of 100 Chevy Equinoxes that are being driven by consumers in New York, Washington, and California for three-month stints; the program is called "Project Driveaway." But Taylor strongly implies that if there is going to be a hydrogen-powered vehicle coming from GM at some point within the next few years for the consumer market--"It's way inside the mechanical bandwidth," he says, indicating that the rocket science is fairly down to earth--it will be a Cadillac. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] One interesting aspect of the Provoq is that rather than unveiling it at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, it made its first public appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. During its introduction, GM chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner described it as "another important step in GM's commitment to energy-wise, environmentally conscious, electrically driven vehicles--and the promise of truly sustainable transportation." Whereas the other vehicles with the E-Flex architecture are on the corporation's small-car platform, the Provoq is on a new global luxury cross-over architecture. Whereas the Equinoxes are using GM's fourth-generation fuel cell, the Provoq has the fifth. There are two 10,000 psi hydrogen storage tanks that provide 13.2 lb. of hydrogen, which when mixed with oxygen in the fuel cell stack located under the hood, generate up to 88 kW of continuous power. There is also a lithiumion battery pack that can store a total of 9 kWh of electrical energy and provide a peak of 60 kW of power. The electricity is used to power a 70-kW coaxial drive system for the front wheels and individual 40-kW wheel hub motors on each of the rear wheels. The 0 to 60 mph time is said to be 8.5 seconds. The E-Flex system in the Provoq has an expected range of 300 miles per [H.sub.2] fill up, with 280 miles coming from the stored hydrogen and 20 miles from the stored battery electric energy.
An article by authors Botelho, Powell, and Wong, published in the Harvard Business Review explored how people become CEOs by examining their career paths. For CEOs defined as sprinters, there was an average of 24 years from their first job to becoming the chief executive officer of their company. This 24 year time gap was faster when compared to most CEOs in their field. Thus the authors classified these "sprinters" into three categories. Category A: contained people that went from big firms to small companies or started their own business; this allowed sprinters to gain more experience. Bothelho and colleagues referred to these as sprinters as “go small to go big" and "in each case, they used the opportunity to build something from the ground up and make an outsize impact.” Category B: contained people that made a significant change also called leapers. These individuals took risks by making a big leap. Category 3: contained people who inherited a big mess and were able to provide leadership to manage the crisis. This showcased their ability to “assess a situation calmly, make decisions under pressure, take calculated risks, rally others around them, and persevere in the face of adversity.” Overall, this is a fascinating article which I would encourage any individual thinking about a career pathway to read. Whether from chemist to CEO; considering how to take calculated risks can catapult your career! Opportunities to advance your career exist if you consider unconventional pathways.

Posted 2 Sep 2012 Hey everyone, First I want to say THANK YOU for what a huge help this forum has been. Even if I end up not being diagnosed with Celiac, I'm grateful for all the support and information I've seen while lurking here. I had no idea that everything I've been going through can be linked to Celiac! The diarrhea/IBS, skin issues (keratosis pilaris and a small patch of DH), the vitamin deficiencies, the absolutely debilitating fatigue, and even an unexplained incident of a piece of bone breaking off my leg (that was surgically replaced). I've got an endoscopy on Tuesday and I'm really worried about it. I'm still eating a "normal" diet but it's awful. Ever since I went gluten-free (or tried to) for three AMAZING days, my symptoms have gotten worse. That was almost a month ago and I've been bleeding after going D. No wonder the GI fit me in so fast... I'm just scared and overwhelmed by the whole thing. The endoscopy, the possibility that it's not Celiac (but worse?!), and how I'll manage the diet. I'm not very good at menu-planning and I've been blessed with the type of body that just stays the right weight without effort. I had a nasty issue with Cheerios about a month ago that sparked this whole attempt to find a better diagnosis than IBS. When I first started researching Celiac, I figured it was just an allergy. Like...worst case scenario, if I'm out and want to have a big gluteny cupcake, then I'll just "pay for it later" with diarrhea. Now I know better, that it's an auto-immune disorder. I'm sorry this is so long and I appreciate it if you've gotten this far. I will post my biopsy results as soon as I have them. I wish I could get out of this sickly rut and stop feeling so darn sorry for myself. It's just that it's been a very rough month and I'm not enjoying Labor Day weekend very much. Take care, Ivy 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I'm taking my usual 'take the piss out of everything" view of it so here's a couple of laughs: On a more serious note, don't take this thing lightly in relation to it's ability to spread. If you need help - ask for it, talk to your bank if finance is becoming or has become an issue and above all - be safe out there.

Hi Well the plans are all done but I have yet to type them up. I’m going to give cartoon drawing another try before I call in the troops. That’s for Peters stories as we have a plan to do a chapter and then do a cartoon strip to go with it. I’ve done a plan for one of my vampire tales and a few others including character information and the plan for various other tales including The sequel of “Twisted Coven” titled “Unlikely Possession” but still need to do the plan for “Mirror Image”. Got a pile of work to do including corrections for “Twisted Coven” and the pile of plans for the other halves stuff. Stay tuned Happy writing Simone Advertisements
Fermenting food is a lost art, but gaining momentum recently. It is one of the original ways of preserving food. Yet most do not realize that we already eat some fermented foods already. Coffee, olives,! Basic fermentation is nothing more than a brine of filtered water and salt. We know that salt draws out moisture, but it also aids in the development of lactic acid, the main component of fermentation. We are still newbies at fermentation, but with a few basic steps and a lot of patience, fermented foods are becoming a staple in our food preservation arsenal.

How Does Casino Baccarat Work? Baccarat or just baccarat can be an online card game easily played at most casino websites. It’s a card-game comparing gambling card game usually played between two players, the banker and the ball player. Each baccarat coup have three possible outcomes: win, tie, and “lose”. A win means the ball player has acquired more money compared to the bank and tied or does not have any more money left. In a tie, the ball player has lost some or all the money and vice versa. The cards dealt in baccarat are normally 52 cards. Some casino websites deal their cards with fifty cards while other places it with fifty-two or fifty-five cards. Casino games differs from land-based casinos as they usually do not use aces or kings but rather have jacks. They are referred to as “jacks” as these are the only real two cards in a hand. They are usually split into six suits of diamonds, spades, clubs, hearts, and diamonds and rubies, and in the fources and liberals. All players must have a complete set of the 52 cards. This consists of the starting cards, which are numbered someone to ten for the very first time; the card faces that is face through to the playing area; and the cards that are dealt to the players. Addititionally there is another type of baccarat called the double-sided game. It differs from the standard game as players need to replace their bet after it has been called. Because of this occasion, players need to replace their bet on both sides of the table. Every round begins with a banker being seated in front of the players facing them. This banker is either blindfolded or does not see his opponents. In the normal situation he could be the dealer, but when he is blindfolded he still calls the bet before the deal begins. The banker deals the cards to the players one at a time. He will not reveal his hand until each card has been dealt and many people are prepared to bet. The initial betting round takes place between the active player (who could be either the banker or another player) and any players which are present at the table. In this across the active player makes his bet and places his wager. If anyone apart from the active player bets during this round, the banker must call out “deal out”. This will cause the active player to eliminate his hand from the betting session and may no more call out baccarat during the next betting round. After the second round, other players are allowed to place their bets. The banker remains in exactly the same position before players have all placed their bets and again gets control the role of the dealer in regular play. There is also a limit as to how many bets each person could make throughout a round, called the bankroll. As well as the normal rules for playing the overall game, each round of baccarat also includes another short game. This short game is used the same cards which were used in the standard game but are reduced in value to help the players keep an eye on their earnings and losses. Through the regular game, the banker deals the players’ cards face up and count the chips that have been accumulated. In the short baccarat game, however, the players count the chips after they have already been dealt. Casino baccarat is played in an entirely different manner than regular baccarat. The initial two players in the overall game to replace themselves when another person finishes. The two players that are left are then dealt a new hand, usually a seven-card hand, called the trump hand. The banker stands next to the dealer table, holding both two marked cards – the high card and the reduced card – and something additional card, called the secondary card, which is not part of either players’ original cards. This second card must then be turned over face up into the communal pot, from which the winning player will take all of the chips pot that’s not already owned by anyone else.

Closed (fixed) Project: Drupal.org security advisory coverage applications Component: other Priority: Normal Category: Task Assigned: Unassigned Created: 16 Sep 2013 at 08:20 UTC Updated: 15 Nov 2013 at 17:00 UTC This is Drupal distribution based on Panels everywhere + Bootstrap theme. Also it contains bunch of contrib modules, which normally should be used on each project. This distribution is for developers who knows what they want. git clone drupaljedi Demo site will available soon on domain Comment #1davidmac CreditAttribution: davidmac commented Hi, You should remove the Git master branch or set the default to the version branch. Comment #2chingis CreditAttribution: chingis commented @davidmac, thanks for your feedback. Master branch has been removed. Comment #3chingis CreditAttribution: chingis commented It seems PA robot checked this distribution as it was a module. Comment #5klausi CreditAttribution: klausi commented That is fine. There should not be a full Drupal in the repository, only the installation profile and drush make scripts. See Comment #6chingis CreditAttribution: chingis commented I've changed it according to Is there any way to test distribution as it was downloaded as release before approve? I also check it with PA robot, most of the errors concern version and project lines in .info files of features. How can I make him ignore it? Comment #7davidmac CreditAttribution: davidmac commented You aren't required to correct markup errors in projects that you don't have commit access to. If you are just packaging existing projects into a distro, then it should suffice to make sure that any files you create meet the guidelines. It's a good idea to explain here if the distro contains any new contributed code written by yourself or your dev team. I see that you are using a fork of the deprecated twitter bootstrap theme (twitter_bootstrap_panels_everywhere), and your forked project includes the comment: Although this shouldn't cause you many problems, it is worth mentioning it in the project description, and making potential users explicitly aware of this. Why? well because a packaged distro suggests all projects inside it are ready for distribution, although you do mention that it is for developers. You are including a few new modules such as the drupal jedi module, which should be dependent on the views module no? in it's .info file. They should all meet the coding standards. My opinion is to ignore the errors in pareview.sh that are not related to code you have written or altered. If you want the script to ignore certain folders, simply review your custom folders individually. Comment #8chingis CreditAttribution: chingis commented @davidmac, thanks for you feedback. I've added views to dependcies Twitter bootstrap theme for panels will be updated soon to bootstrap 3, my colleagues already working on it Meanwhile, it would be nice to receive full access for project and continue it's active development I need it because now I can't see how complete distribution will look like when it's downloaded in regular way ( step 6). Or may be someone could tell me how to assemble complete distribution with drupal code, my profile and all contrib modules Comment #9davidmac CreditAttribution: davidmac commented As I understand it, your disto contains new modules/projects that you are submitting for the first time. So normally they, and yourself, would go through the approval process like other contrib projects and developers. That's why I'd mentioned: Can you detail the new code that needs to be reviewed to help the process along? Alternatively, you could ask one of your colleagues to promote it to a full project if it is urgent, as I understand it, iRuslan has the required privileges. It may well be that there are exceptions where teams are involved, however I'm not aware of any. Also see comment #3, if you want to use the review bonus system to hurry things along. Comment #10chingis CreditAttribution: chingis commented @davidmac, thanks for you reply I added my colleague IRuslan to project and he approved it Looks like drupal bug for me Distribution will have custom code like This code will be used to make distribution more user-friendly and provide some default configuration And I have a new question: I pushed some changes in dev branch, but I don't see any commits on project page Is it caused because I do it in development release? Comment #11davidmac CreditAttribution: davidmac commented It's not a Drupal bug, it's just that you need to go through the approval process (for your username) like your colleague did. I'm sure he can explain the process to you. In order to have a recommended release (color coded green) for your project, you need to 'tag' a release version in your Git repo (then push it up) and then enable it using the link at the bottom of your project page. See: I've set this to 'postponed' as your project is published. If you want to go through the approval process, you need to submit code that you have written yourself, such as a module or theme and create a new issue for it. This issue will be closed if no longer active.

As is usual with politicians, President Obama is following, not leading, on the issue of changing the U.S. relationship with Cuba. He lifted restrictions on travel to Cuba by Cuban-Americans and on remittances to relatives in Cuba, and gave U.S. telecoms to try to market in Cuba. As this Register editorial suggests, however, the group that has been most insistent on maintaining the economic embargo over the years, the Cuban American National Foundation, has shifted its stance. It is now officialy open to wide-ranging discussions on changing U.S. policy, up to and possibly including lifting the embargo. A recent poll of Cuban-Americans, by a firm that has been conducting them for decades, found 67% in favor of lifting all travel restrictions, and 43% declaring the embargo a "failure."."

La Crosse Center To Gain Study Committee? Does the La Crosse Center really need another study, to justify renovations or an expansion? There's some disagreement among Center board members about the value of a study that would have to be authorized by the city council. Board member Phil Addis was the lone dissenter in a vote for a study. Addis says most of the independent study would cover information that Center management already knows about the age and condition of the building that opened in 1980. Board member Doug Farmer argues that council members prefer to see a study done by an outside observer, to prove that changes need to be made.
Anyone expecting President Trump supporters to soften up on their allegiance to the president heading into the November midterm elections is sadly mistaken. This past week, Democrats, the FBI and the liberal elite media gave Team Trump strong reasons to remain solidly behind the Republican commander in chief and his “drain the swamp” cause. One can also argue that women voters and independents are getting tired of the incessant Trump bashing — especially when the president and his supposedly short-staffed administration (excluding the “traitorous” leakers) are piling up significant victories in domestic and foreign affairs, i.e., tax reform, employment gains, historic trade talks with China, historic denuclearization talks with North Korea, the release of three U.S. citizens held hostage in North Korea … the list goes on and on. The media and Democrats, however, have treated these stories just like they were a bunch of “American Bandstand” one-hit wonders of the 1960s. So what’s been the media focus of the week? President Trump referred to members of the notoriously violent MS-13 street gang as “animals.” He has used the same MS-13 description many times before, so the press was well aware of it. Still, it didn’t stop beat writers from The New York Times, Washington Post and Associated Press, plus TV network and cable yakkers, from falsely reporting Trump’s remarks. They lumped in all illegal immigrants as “animals” with MS-13 kidnappers, rapists (especially child rapists) and murderers, and attributed it to the president. Later, when Trump’s comments — made to California sheriffs frustrated over that state’s restrictive immigration sanctuary policies — were replayed, it was clear the media had twisted the president’s words out of context. Yet the truth didn’t stop top Democrats from piling on. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said, “When the president of the United States says about undocumented immigrants, ‘These aren’t people; these are animals,’ you have to wonder: Does he not believe in the spark of divinity, the dignity and worth of every person?” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer chimed in: “When all of our great-great-grandparents came to America, they weren’t ‘animals,’ and these people aren’t either.” Where was the headline “Pelosi, Schumer defend MS-13 killers as good for U.S.”? The biased media coverage of Trump’s administration is so skewed, it’s repulsive. And it’s sad the press doesn’t care to change. Which leads us to the second major story you haven’t heard much of: On May 16, The New York Times published a story confirming that a small group of FBI officials, for political reasons, secretly spied on the 2016 Trump presidential campaign. The newspaper downplayed the truth under the headline: “Code Name Crossfire Hurricane.” The story revealed a stunning abuse of federal power to protect the status quo. The article, in paragraph 70 (talk about burying the truth), says this about the FBI’s “broad investigation”: “A year and a half later, no public evidence has surfaced connecting Mr. Trump’s advisers to the hacking or linking Mr. Trump himself to the Russian government’s disruptive efforts.” So when will special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian collusion with the Trump campaign finally end? It’s just more grist for Trump supporters and others getting fed up with the dishonest efforts to take down this presidency at any cost.
One Swiss bank headhunts CIO from another A former chief information officer and managing director at Credit Suisse, Jason Shane, has been recruited by rival Swiss bank UBS to become its head of technology for internal audit, compliance, regulatory and governance. The move to UBS, which was reported by Swiss newswire FINews, will see him remain in London, reporting to Julie Shapiro, head of risk and finance technology. According to Shapiro, Shane will be responsible for modernising the bank’s technology platforms for efficiency, stability and regulatory compliance requirements. Back in March 2019, UBS was hit with a £27m fine by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority over its transaction reporting failures. Shane spent nearly 10 years at Credit Suisse and was most recently the CIO of corporate services technology. Prior to this, Shane spent 12 years at Merrill Lynch in a senior technology role.
Ultimate Guide To Every Yoga Mudra For Meditation Ultimate Guide To Every Yoga Mudra For MeditationDid you know that for thousands of years people have used hand-gestures known as meditation mudras. There are more than 50 yoga mudras and many more mudras used in Buddhism, Hinduism and other spiritualities. These meditation mudras are powerful ways of healing and empowering the mind and body. And they can be used alongside mantras too. They are used mostly in Hatha Yoga (one of the 28 types of yoga).. Here’s what we will be looking at: - Intro - What are yoga mudras? - History of mudras - Using yoga mudras to regulate the Elements - How to use mudras - Which yoga mudra to use - Why use yoga mudras? - Spiritual mudras - Yoga mudras - Best books on mudras. - Conclusion Why this yoga mudra guide matters My aim with this guide to yoga mudras is to present the ultimate article on mudras, including Hindu, yoga, and Buddhist mudras. There are many articles online that introduce the mudras, but I have not found a single guide that really explains what mudras are or how they work, let alone one that examines the nuances of yoga, Hindu, and Buddhist mudras. I want to fill that gap. With this article I am bringing together my knowledge of the Apan mudra? Mudras are symbolic gestures that involve various parts of the body. For instance, there are mudras that involve the eyes, the body, the breathing organs… and of course there are mudras that use the hands and the fingers. Different mudras symbolise different states of mind. For instance, the Abhaya mudra, which we will look at later, symbolises fearlessness. The Gyan mudra, meanwhile, brings peace and serenity. For all mental states, there is a corresponding mudra. Some that mudras have worked for me personally. But let’s look at how mudras work scientifically. How do mudras work? Mudras are a way to use body positions and mostly hand positions for healing. Mudras activate certain parts of the brain and body in a way similar to reflexology. mudras out and grabbing hold of one foot. Yoga mudras that use the body take advantage of effect mudras have on you. If you hold any of the mudras (there are 60 mudras described below) for a few minutes, you will feel a difference in your mental state. So while there is little science (so far) to back up mudras, you can feel the effect they have for yourself. Here’s a massive point: Mudras do not come from religion. This an erroneous way of thinking. The actual word Mudra comes from Hinduism, but mudras do not. Where did mudras originate? Mudras come from nature. We naturally make all the mudras without thinking about it. Take a look at the mudras lower down on this page and you will notice that you naturally and unconsciously make most of the gestures used in yoga mudras. So what does that tell us about mudras? It tells us that mudras. Mind creates mudra. Mudra creates mind. The History of Yoga Mudras And Meditation Mudras You can understand how mudras work by considering history and evolution If we knew where mudras originated from it would be easier to understand the science behind them. Unfortunately, no one knows precisely where mudras originate from. They are found in Asia, but they are also used throughout the world. And although the term “Mudra” is Hindu in origin, the actual hand positions used in mudras are ubiquitous. Humans have used these gestures for millions of years long before religions even existed. It is, however, quite inevitable that mudras should be used globally and by all societies, because mudras stem directly from body language. Mudras are modeled. Just goes to show, we are more alike than we are different. Hindu mudras and yoga mudras have always existed in India. But they’ve existed in Europe too. Many of the hand gestures used in Christianity actually. Mudras and Hastas (arm poses) are very important in Hinduism and represent the many Hindu gods. Each god has specific attributes, so by using the mudra of a specific god Hindus will invite that same trait into themselves. And these same mudras are seen in Indian Classical Dance as well as in dance meditations. You’ll see many of the mudras in Buddhist and Hindu art too. Using Hindu, Buddhist, And Yoga Mudras To Regulate Elements In Your Body Many cultures believe that the universe is comprised of different elements, for instance in China, Japan and India. Most cultures, for instance,: Earth is called Pavan in Sanskrit and related to breath. Fire: Fire (Agni) provides warmth and can refer to bodily. Mudras relate to these elements in specific ways - Mudras that relate to the Earth element will include the ring finger - Mudras that relate to Air will include the index finger - Mudras that relate to Fire will include the thumb - Mudras that relate to Water will include the little finger - Mudras for Ether will use the middle finger. How Do You Practice Yoga Mudras And Meditation Mudras? It is very easy to practice a yoga mudra, provided you know what the mudra is. All you have to do is place your hands and finger into the right formation. For instance, to make the Karana Mudra you simply extend your fifth and second fingers and curl your remaining fingers inwards so that your thumb touches your third finger. Here are the most important tips to bear in mind when practicing mudras. 1. When you practice a yoga mudra you should have only minimal pressure in your fingers and your hands should feel relaxed and with no, mudras do not need to be performed perfectly to have effect. Do your best, and trust that the more you practice the easier it will become. 5. You can do a mudra in any of the meditation positions. Lying down, sitting up, standing, all are fine. The only exception to this is when the mudra involves specific body positions. 6. As with meditation, when you practice a mudra you should have. What do you think about when you use a mudra? Or should you meditate? When you use a mudra you can meditate in one of the many different types of meditation. Or you might choose to think about something. Unlike in meditation, when you practice a mudra you can think about something else if you wish. However, in my experience, for the best effect you should meditate. The choice is entirely yours. Thinking about something will not prevent the mudra from working. If you are meditating, the best type of meditation to use are basic breathing meditations. should you practice mudras? It is entirely up to you when and where you practice mudras. Just make sure you are relaxed and focused. Some yogis even practice mudras while stuck in traffic, though there are of course inherent dangers to that. practicing mudras there. You’ll love it. You can just do mudras at home if you like. Then, once you have grown accustomed to the different mudras. Which yoga mudra or meditation mudra should you use, and in what order? When you practice mudras, you should not hop from one mudra to the next. This is a mistake lots of beginners make. And it is understandable. When you’re doing something new it’s fun to try out different things. But this will not work for mudras. It takes a period of time for a yoga mudra to be effective. If you are a beginner you will need to use a mudra for at least ten minutes before it has an affect on your mind. If you switch from one mudra to the next you won’t experience any heightened mental, you’ll just get a vague impression of one state, and then another and so on. It is much better to stay with one mudra and to truly get into that mudra so you can experience it fully. Choose one mudra and stick to it for at least ten minutes before moving on. You might also like to leave a gap between different mudras. When you use a mudra you will change your mental state and you will change your world. Every change of mind brings with it a change of world. So, when you use a mudra you change your mind and change your world. But it will take a short while to truly experience those changes. So, when you are starting out, leave a few hours between different mudras. How long should you hold a mudra for? There is a lot of discussion about how long you should hold a mudra for. mudra expert, recommends that you choose how long you will hold the mud healthcare professional for advice on which mudras you can use and how long you can use them for. If you have arthritis in your fingers, for instance, holding a mudra for too long will lead to pain and perhaps even injury. Some mudras are used for health conditions. For instance, the Linga mudra can be used for lung complications. Mudras like this should only be used for as long as necessary. When you notice the health benefits you are looking for you should stop. When you finish a mudra, you might like to be still and silent for ten minutes and meditate on your breath. This is a great way to finish your mudra session. Enhancing meditation mudras through breathing, affirmations, and visualisation Holding the actual hand position of a mudra is the basic foundation of the experience. If you would like to enhance the experience, you use visualisations, affirmations, and breathing techniques. The first and most important of these enhancements is the breath and prn a mudra session you should make sure that you are breathing deeply (diaphragmatically). The easiest way to do this is by using breathing meditations for a few minutes. Do Nine Round Breathing before you use a mudra. It will produce a much better result. mudras used music to enhance your mudra practice too. I’ve put together a collection of the best free meditation music, which you might like to use during your mudra practice. Take a look. There are lots of very talented artists in that collection. You will definitely find some music that compliments your practice. But you do not need to use specific meditation music. Any music that creates the right mental state can be used during your mudra practice. For instance, if you are practicing practicing your mudras in. There are many more ways in which you can enhance your practice. Try a variety of ways to produce the right mood for you. So Why Use Mudras? Healing, Health, Mood, Body, And Mind.

C one), I totally get where the writer is coming from…I know Malmö in a much more intimate way than any other place I’ve ever lived. Of course, there are drawbacks. Despite having a pretty decent map of the city living inside my head, I’m usually at a loss to provide directions to drivers because I navigate by landmarks rather than street names, (many of which have names that are still unpronouncable to me after years of Swedish language training). And don’t even think about asking me where to find parking. :^)

Alternate title: Yeo-haeng-ja, Yeohaengja Inspired by writer/director Ounie Lecomte's own childhood experiences, A Brand New Life tells the story of a nine year old girl named Jinhee (Kim Sae-ron) who's sent to live in a Seoul orphanage run by Catholic nuns so her father can start a new family. Realizing that her life has been permanently and profoundly changed, Jinhee struggles with feelings of separation while attempting to make sense of her new surroundings. There, in the orphanage, friendships are broken as quickly as they were forged - the whimsy of fate and adoptive parents making lasting relationships difficult. At first Jinhee longs for the day she, too, will be selected to live with a new family, but over time she begins to resent the idea of once again being separated from the people she cares most about. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I staple in your pantry. Make A Creamier Pureed Soup Any pureed vegetable or bean soup can be made creamier, richer, and more delicious by the addition of coconut milk. Add flavor and Moisture to Cakes Use coconut milk as the liquid in a cake to add a nice richness and coconut flavor. Make Dairy-Free Ice Creams and Custards Whether you need a dairy-free ice cream or custard for the lactose intolerant or just want to feature tropical flavors, coconut milk makes a great custard base to turn into ice cream or flan. You can sub in canned coconut milk instead of milk in most custard recipes. Infuse grains with flavor For any rice or grain, swap out half the water for canned coconut milk to infuse the cooked grain with a nice subtle coconut flavor. While you're at it, add some aromatics to your cooking liquid if you want to deepen the flavor: cinnamon sticks, lemongrass stalks, curry leaves, or lemon rind all work great with coconut milk. Add To Fruit for An Almost Instant Dessert. Turn it into dulce de leche You'll need two cans for this one, and it's sure to become your new favorite ice cream topping or filling for sandwich cookies.

REAL AMERICA Without chaos, government has no future Exclusive: Patrice Lewis notes results of the State armed with coercion and a gun I once read a line in Arthur C. Clark’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” as follows: “The newspapers of Utopia … would be terribly dull.” The context of this remark is that in a perfect world, there would be no news. Let’s face it, the news industry thrives because there are always crises to report. Similarly, governments thrive on chaos. If there isn’t enough occurring naturally, the government may well manufacture it, just to keep themselves in business. A couple weeks ago I saw a comment that read, “Without chaos, government has no future.” This was later amended to, “Without chaos, even if intentionally orchestrated, government has no future.” This is vastly true. It’s kinda like computer techies. My husband and I have a private theory that, since computer techs must justify their positions within a corporation, they are forever creating “new and improved” computer programs that do nothing but obfuscate, confuse and complicate what had previously been a simple software function that non-tech people could use without a problem. I don’t mean to pick on computer tech people (except when I get annoyed because Blogger “improved” its services by making things worse) since this tendency is endemic for nearly every innovative occupation. People must do something to justify their paycheck; and what they do is make “new and improved” [fill in the blanks] that are often more complicated, less functional and less user-friendly than before. Government is the same. It must “improve” the lives of its citizens by creating solutions where there are no problems; or worse, creating problems where none exist in order to justify their solutions. The difference between computer techs and government, however, is coercion. If I don’t like the new software a company creates, I don’t have to buy it. But only the government can put a gun to my head and force me to accept the “solutions” to their problems. Thomas Jefferson said, “The policy of the American government is to leave its citizens free, neither restraining them nor aiding them in their pursuits.” This, let me remind you, was the original vision of America: a land of limited government interference. LIMITED. Got that? LIMITED. But politicians simply can’t be content to keep the government within the narrow parameters set up by the Founding Fathers. They always want to “improve” it. They can’t allow free markets to be free; they have to jump in and level the playing field or give backroom sweetheart deals to big businesses, or otherwise interfere. They can’t allow the states or the free market or ordinary citizens to handle health care, gun laws, schools and other critical issues; they must make them a federal matter of strict bureaucratic control. “Each government program carries within it the seeds of future programs that will be ‘needed’ to clean up the mess the first program creates,” writes the late Harry Browne in his superb book “Why Government Doesn’t Work.” “No matter how much mischief it causes, government always shows up in a cavalry uniform – riding in to rescue us from the problems it created.” Mr. Browne identifies four reasons government grows: - The failure of each government program leads to demands for new programs; - Everyone wants special privileges he sees others getting; - “Public servants” seize on every problem as an excuse to expand their powers; and - The “Dictator Syndrome,” which is the belief that all suffering or damage can be eliminated by government programs, which only work under dictatorial power. (Don’t believe me? See what happens when you have a “wetlands” on your property.) One of Washington’s greatest desires is to save us from ourselves. We are no longer permitted to suffer the consequences of our own actions. Instead, the government must sponsor programs or introduce legislation to rescue us from any and all stupidity, coercing the whole to accept solutions for the problems of the few. Government cannot thrive without coercion. But since coerced people resent being forced into compliance, government coercion breeds envy, hatred, anger and other vices, which further divides us and sets group against group. No problem. The government has a “solution” for that, too. This cycle repeats itself, endlessly. And government programs (and the accompanying taxes) are never, ever eliminated. Ever. More programs cause more chaos, which causes more programs, which cause more chaos, and government grows and grows and grows. See? Without chaos, government has no future. And let me be crystal clear: This applies to Democrats, Republicans and everyone in between. It is absolutely endemic in the political machine. And it all began because people couldn’t accept Thomas Jefferson’s words: “The policy of the American government is to leave its citizens free, neither restraining them nor aiding them in their pursuits.” This insane out-of-control system with which we’re now saddled began when people foolishly thought it was the business of the government to help those who couldn’t help themselves. “Once that door was open,” noted Harry Browne, “once it was settled that the government should help some people at the expense of others, there was no stopping it.” And now the sky is falling on America. But Chicken Little, please note, wasn’t working to make the sky fall. The government IS, by enthusiastically taking advantage of every tragedy in order to save us from ourselves, with the ultimate goal of dismantling the Bill of Rights and thus achieving total control. Somebody wrote a succinct and frightening plan of where our country is headed, to wit: Pass gun control. Nationalize the gun and ammo manufacturers. Enact martial law. Confiscate guns house to house. Exterminate the resistance. Does this sound like the kind of America you want? Is this the kind of America our forefathers envisioned? Because, make no mistake, that’s where we’re headed. Right now our government is still afraid of We the People (since we’re armed) and is creating as much chaos as it can to splinter us into factions (divide and conquer). If the government succeeds in disarming America, it will no longer have reason to fear us. I’ll end with yet another quote from Thomas Jefferson, who had the astounding ability to look 250 years into the future: “When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.” Do you really want tyranny?

Alice and Marilyn: Always enjoy reading about fellow readers and writers (especially mystery genre) and send thanks and good vibes and cyber hugs :-) Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and great reading and good luck to all of us, Jackie Griffey I enjoyed your post, Alice, and look forward to reading your books about my "hometown," Los Angeles. Thank you, Alice. I especially admire writers of historical books because their setting is not just a place but also a time, and that means that both the physical world and the attitudinal world need to come alive. And accurately. It's a whole different level of work, and so far in my life I've been too lazy to attempt it, but I'm grateful to those, like you, who do. I think it's always a good idea to set novels in places you really know and haved lived. The authenticity adds credibility. Hi, Alice, I so agree with Timothy. You have a "special" talent. Madeline Thanks for dropping by, Jackie! I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, Jean, but I love L.A. Randy Newman and I are probably alone in that :-) Thanks, Tim. I prefer to pretend the old days were better than nowadays (although I know I'm wrong), so It really isn't so tough. I love history. Thank you very much, Jacquie and Madeline! Alice, this was such an interesting post. For you it's the twenties, and for it it's the forties. I understand the draw. Now I have to order one of your books, because they really sound interesting. Enjoyed your post on creating settings, Alice. And I especially enjoyed the comments that followed. Marilyn, I'm so glad that you chose settings for your part of our Tour. This has been fun for me too, I'm so tickled at how differently each author has approached the topic. Thanks everyone who has commented. Marilyn I love Alice's settings. And her characters. And the fun I have reading her books. Thanks, everyone! If you guys like historical mysteries, you should try Peg Herring's Elizabeth and Simon books (that's Elizabeth I, guys). Thanks, Marja! And just because people seem to enjoy Daisy, her next adventure, ANCIENT SPIRITS, just got a -- gasp! -- good Kirkus review! Boy, that doesn't happen to my books very often when it comes to Kirkus :-) Alice is so great. If she published her shopping list, I'd buy a copy. Alice, I too admire people who can write in the past. The first book I tried to write was set during World War II (another war to end wars??? NOT) I realized it was hard enough to figure out how to write a novel, I couldn't deal with getting the history and nuance right so dropped the project. I would like to revisit that now. Maybe.. Wendy Hi Peg. Good to see you! W.S. Gager on Writing Bless your heart, Mike. It's kind of scary at first to get into another era, Wendy, but it gets easier the more you do it. Trust me on this :-)

Believe. While the past two "Resident Evil" games have been pretty fantastic (though "5" is essentially one game-long escort mission and has some real weird racial tension which makes the player feel dirty for playing it), they just haven't had that horror vibe which made the old-school games so terrifying and memorable. Well wait no more! "Resident Evil 6" has been officially announced for a November 20th release and looks like a perfect hybrid of the old and new "Resident Evil" games. Fast-paced, hectic action coupled with hordes of zombies and other mutated monsters? Sign me up. Here's the new launch trailer: So, "Resident Evil" fans, what's on your list for things you hope make the sequel? Personally, there's one returning enemy that I'm hoping against hope returns, regardless of how much they'll scare the shit out of me:

When our community voted to approve a modest, sensible levy four years ago, Oak Harbor was able to offer our children services that other comparably sized school districts often take for granted. For many years, ours was the only large district in Washington state that did not offer a school lunch program, a dubious distinction at best. Now our kids have hot lunches, our high school has increased the number of advanced placement classes, the elementary schools teach for 30 extra minutes and there are gym and art classes. More teachers mean smaller class size, and added instructional assistants mean more personalized attention for children with special needs. Talk to teachers, parents and, most importantly, to our children to see the difference the levy has made. If the levy is not renewed on March 8, all we have gained these last four years will be put in jeopardy. Please vote yes to continue the levy and start a tradition of community support for our schools. Beth Kelley Oak Harbor Latest news, top stories, and community events, delivered to your inbox.

One popular trend for 2005 is the combining of specialty annuals with perennials in mixed borders. Here at the Heritage Home and Garden Salpiglossis sinuata (painted tongue), another classic plant that was a favourite of the Victorians, is combined with salvia The salvia is a recently introduced variety Salvia verticillata ‘Purple Rain'(?) The use of improved varieties of old fashioned classic plants is another trend that is growing strong for 2005. While the above is using a muted pallet, at the Horticulture Center of the Pacific Hardy Border a more vibrant colour scheme has been created. The tender perennial grass Pennisetum setaceum ‘Rubrum' or Purple Fountain Grass can be treated as an annual in those areas where it is not hardy. Here it is combined with the deep burgundy of pansies and the hot pinks and corals of salipglosis. The yellow button flowers in the foreground are from one of the santolina family members, a perennial, while the soft grey spikes of ballota (a perennial in Victoria ,.

Court of Appeal rules on air quality considerations in planning appeals Planning and Environment, Public Law and Judicial Review Yesterday, the Court of Appeal handed down judgment in Gladman Developments Ltd v SSCLG & CPRE (Kent) [2019] EWCA Civ 1543. The ruling will be key for developers when promoting schemes with an effect on Air Quality Management Areas (AQMA). They will need to clearly show how a financial contribution (calculated in accordance with the Defra model) will translate into tangible measures which will avoid a worsening in air quality. Gladman had sought to quash the decision of Inspector Clews to refuse planning permission for 140 new homes in Newington, Kent.. - The Inspector failed to give effect to the principle at paragraph 122 NPPF (now paragraph 183 NPPF) that the planning system should presume that other regimes will operate effectively. - The Inspector failed to explain why the DEFRA damage-cost analysis and associated contribution were unlikely to be effective. - The Inspector should have considered imposing a Grampian condition. - The Inspector did not point to an explicit part of the AQMA with which the scheme conflicted. Supperstone J rejected those grounds and the Court of Appeal dismissed the onward appeal. Lindblom LJ (with whom McCombe and Peter Jackson LJJ agreed) held: - The Inspector was not obliged to embark on “predictive judgments about the timing and likely effectiveness of the Government’s response to the decision in ClientEarth (No.2), and the requirement to produce a national air quality plan compliant with the Air Quality Directive” (para.35). - Paragraph 122 NPPF (now paragraph 183 in the 2019 NPPF) was not engaged by reference to the UK Government’s obligations under the Air Quality Directive. Paragraph 122 NPPF “was directed to situations where some proposed process or operation liable to cause pollution is subject to control under another regulatory regime … its purpose was to avoid needless duplication between two schemes of statutory control“. That was not the case with the national air quality regime (para.45). - As to the DEFRA damage-cost analysis: “[i]t was not the methodology that was in contention. It was the likely effectiveness of the financial contributions themselves when translated into practical measures” (para.52). - There is no principle of law or statement of policy that an Inspector must always, even if entirely unprompted by any of the parties, “seek to make an unacceptable proposal acceptable by imposing a planning condition in “Grampian” form to prevent the development going ahead until a particular objection to it is overcome”. Although there may be cases where failing to consider a condition would be unreasonable (paras.63-64 and 69). - As the essential purpose of the air quality action plans is to improve air quality in the Air Quality Management Areas development which was likely to worsen air quality in a material way was inevitably inconsistent with the relevant Air Quality Plans (para.77). Ashley Bowes acted for CPRE (Kent) instructed by Kristina Kenworthy of Richard Buxton Solicitors.

According). GDP for 9M2017 According. Taking into account the seasonal adjustment, based on our estimates, in quarterly terms a growth fell to 1.2% qoq in Q3 of the current year after a peak of 2% qoq in the previous quarter. The main driver of an economic growth remains the industrial sector (in the first 9 months of this year it provided 52% of growth) in conditions of more favorable prices for raw materials and growth in oil production. At the same time, a fairly strong recovery in trade and a rise in the transport sector provided, in aggregate, almost a quarter of the economy's growth.). The effect last year’s low base diminished: in October the industry produced only 0.6% more than in October last year. For comparison, since March of this year, almost every month the growth was at a level above 7% yoy. The mining sector is accounted for more than 70% of the contribution to the industry index increase: in this sector growth was 10.2% yoy in January-October, +0.5% mom in October (against 11.3% yoy in January-September, -10.3% mom in September). When considering an index of the mining sector with a seasonal adjustment in monthly terms - production volumes are declining from the second half of this year and in October fell by another 10% mom. This decrease is caused by the decline in crude oil output (including gas condensate), natural gas, metals. In October, the indicators with seasonal adjustment deteriorated: metal production (-2% mom), natural gas (-5.8% mom), crude oil production, including gas condensate (-8.1% mom). In general, over the period of 10 months of this year, a production growth in all sectors of the mining industry has slowed on average by 1pp compared to the period in January-September: crude oil, +11.4% yoy (against 12.5% yoy in January- September), metals, +8.8% yoy (vs. 9.7% yoy), coal production, +7.8% yoy (vs. 10.8% yoy). In the manufacturing industry, an output in January-October increased by 5.2% yoy, +2.8% mom (against 5.7% yoy in January-September, +4.9% in September). The output of refined products increased by 5.5% yoy, +7.1% mom (against 5.7% yoy in January-September). In the metallurgical industry – a sluggish growth is observed, +0.5% mom: the production of ferrous metallurgy fell (-5.6% mom), this decrease was partly compensated by a rise in the production of non-ferrous metals (+3.5% mom). Therefore the manufacturing for January-October rose by 6.4% yoy, against +7% yoy for the month before. Gross output of agriculture increased by 2.1% yoy in 10 months of 2017 (against 1.9% yoy in January-September). The output of crop production was accelerated (the total share in the industry was almost 60%) to 1.2% yoy (+0.8% yoy a month earlier). In the same period last year, the growth was 4.3% yoy, which is twice the current rate, apparently, in view of the lower harvest this year. The harvest of cereal in 2017 was 22 million tons, which is 1.5 million tons less than last year. The sharp increase in construction work in the previous period has turned to a slowdown almost twofold in the current period to 1.8% yoy (against 3.5% yoy in January-September). Construction work in the capital city continues to decline, -8.1% yoy, a decrease also is in the Almaty region (-5.9% yoy). With the completion of modernization of the Pavlodar refinery, the construction volumes in the region also slowed down to 9.8% yoy (against 22.9% in January-September). Investments in fixed assets increased by 6.5% yoy (against 4.4% yoy in January-September). Investments in agriculture increased by 4.9% yoy (against 0.6% yoy in January-September), investments in trade increased by 16.3% yoy (against 9.8% in January-September), real estate operations, +16.4% yoy (against 2.5% yoy in January-September), manufacturing, +10.4% yoy (against 3.5% yoy in Jan-Sep). At the same time, in the conditions of suppressed lending, the enterprises' own funds remain the main source of funding. Trade grew by 3.2% yoy in January-September (against 3% in January-September): retail trade increased by 6.3% yoy, wholesale trade, by 1.7% yoy. In the same period last year, the industry stagnated, -3% yoy, then the decline ended at the end of last year. As a result, we expect that the trade by the end of 2017 will decelerate. The communications industry continued to grow at the level of 3.2% (against 3% yoy in January-September). The main driver of growth remains the double-digit rate of increase in Internet services (+13% yoy), other segments show a sluggish growth (mobile communication, + 0.5% yoy) or decrease (local telephone line, -6.5% yoy). Transport kept its growth at the level of the previous period at 4.7% yoy. Freight turnover for the 10 months of this year increased by 8% from the level of the previous year: due to the increase in railway transport, by 11% yoy. Our opinion It should be noted that the growth rate of capital investments accelerated in October (+ 6.5% yoy), exceeding the rate of growth in the real sector (STEI: + 5.4% yoy), which indicates a revival of business and investment activity due to a more favorable price environment in commodity markets. However, in our opinion, so far investments remain of low quality. Capital expenditures are growing at the fastest rates in the sectors represented by large national companies - crude oil and natural gas production, + 26.3% yoy, production of petroleum products, + 67.2% yoy. While the increase in investments in construction (+ 6.1% yoy), trade (+ 16.3% yoy), agriculture (+ 4.9% yoy) is more modest, in manufacturing – there is a decline in investments in metallurgy by 46% yoy. In addition, the main growth is demonstrated by capital expenditures for the purchase of machinery and equipment (32% of the total investment for the period), + 14.2% yoy in January-October 2017, which may be due to the growth of investment imports. A diminishing effect of the low base of last year and a general deceleration in production from the second half of this year slows down the indices of industrial growth, which provided 3.8% growth (70% of the STEI). The sector of transport, which is also dominated by large national companies, steadily provides more than half the percentage of growth to STEI. Prospects for the acceleration of industrial indicators are vague, as the increase in production due to Kashagan operating at full capacity by the end of the year, according to the Energy Minister, is postponed until 2018. In these conditions, because of the last year’s low base reduction (since September last year – Kashagan oil field was launched), the industrial sector will continue to decelerate slightly. According to our estimates, GDP growth by the end of this year may reach 3.3% (our previous forecast of 2.9%). Based on the fact that the average growth of the economy for the three quarters of this year is 4%, it is likely that the economy will be able to maintain its growth rate in the fourth quarter, supported by high oil prices (above $60 per barrel from late October). It is worth noting that more than half of the growth in the economy is provided by industry and, in particular, under the influence of increased oil production. This fact makes the current economic recovery unsustainable, especially as there is a decrease in the number of employed people, not to mention even the continued fall in wages. Thus, the current economic recovery is more technical in nature than due to qualitative changes in the economy.
