Like any other type of advice, there's writing advice you want to hear that's not terribly helpful, and writing you don't want to hear that's also probably what you need to hear. Once or twice I got a chance to work with [Atlantic editor] Bill Whitworth on a piece or two — and I was just kind of struggling to support myself and, you know, life is busy and I wasn't writing that much. He just said very simply, "Are you writing every day?" and I said, "Ummmm," and I sort of mumbled because I couldn't say yes. It was a horrible feeling, and the day after that, I started writing every day … I fudge a lot where I think, "OK, did you write anything, did you write a text? Did you write an email? Did you write just notes on a scrap of paper? Did you write something?" So that's how I get around it sometimes, by stretching the definition. Let's face it, there's almost always something more fun to do than write on any given day. I mean, those socks aren't going to organize themselves, are they? But if you get in the every-day habit, eventually it will become hard to break.

We got a very early start this morning at 5:00am and headed west across Florida. Our first destination was Bunche Beach. We checked along the entrance road for the Mangrove Cuckoo that was seen yesterday but we dipped on it. At the beach we walked both directions with no success for the American Flamingo that has been seen for over a week. We did pick up some nice birds like Marbled Godwit, Wilson's Plover, Piping Plover, and got better looks at American Oystercatcher. We drove through Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge and got to see large stands of red mangrove. And we found many tree crabs along one of the side trails–a favorite food of Yellow-crowned Night-Heron. And whaddya know? There was a Yellow-crowned Heron there, too. We had visited Bunche Beach near low tide, but the level of water at Ding Darling was high and there were few birds in the rain. Yes. It rained off-and-on all day. We had a quick lunch and drove to our next destination, Six Mile Cypress for reports of a couple Short-tailed Hawks. But before we got there my excellent co-leader, Chris Brown, got a text that the flamingo had returned! Even though we were close to Six Mile Cypress, we wheeled around and headed back to Bunche Beach. We were just in time to see the bird flying back and forth for about a minute-and-a-half. It was beautiful in flight and so very brightly colored. And knock-your-socks-off rare to boot! Bonus bird! Undaunted by the continual rain, our intrepid group birded Southwest Florida through the day. We finished the day with 4 Crested Caracaras in a field east of Fort Myers. We arrived after dark at our hotel near Sarasota. Lots of birding and 400 miles is a recipe for slumber. So why am I still up? I'm updating this blog while doing…laundry. Stats time! We managed a total of 71 species today in the rain. Our Florida trip total is now 151. And the year total is at 275! 71 species is great! Glad you guys got the flamingo. A gorgeous bird for sure!

Both the presidents of the former Soviet Union states of Armenia and Azerbaijan traveled to Washington to attend the Nuclear Security Summit. At the summit, US Secretary of State John Kerry made attempts to get them together and talk about the decades old problem of Nagorno-Karabakh, the Armenian enclave embedded in Azerbaijani territory where the two countries fought a bloody war between 1988 and 1994. That conflict is still not officially settled. But to the dismay of Kerry, the Azerbaijani president refused to meet his Armenian counterpart. "We want to see an ultimate resolution, the frozen conflict between Nagorno-Karabakh that needs to be a negotiated settlement and something that has to be worked on over time," said Kerry in a statement after meeting with Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev. But Kerry was met with a diplomatic snub, says Richard Giragossian, the director of the Regional Studies Center in Yerevan. "We think that the conflict must be resolved based on the UN Security Council resolution. We demand immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Armenian troops from our territory," was Aliyev's answer to Kerry. "A very interesting, perhaps diplomatic mistake in directly criticizing the OSCE Minsk group-mediators. Which is co-chaired by Russia, France and the US," says Giragossian, referring to the group that was set up to try and solve the Nagorno-Karabach problem. "What was particularly sensitive about this criticism was the fact that the Minsk-group American co-chair works within the US state department for Secretary Kerry. And Aliyev's reference or demands that the UN Security Council should actually be involved was particularly frustrating for the US State Department," he says. "Armenia is participating in the Nuclear Security Summit despite the Russian boycott. Earlier in the week, Moscow reacted angrily at Nato plans to put more than 4,000 troops in eastern part of the EU. According to the TASS news agency, Russia's permanent representative to Nato Aleksandr Grushko said that "we are not passive observers, we consistently take all the military measures we consider necessary in order to counterbalance this reinforced presence that is not justified by anything". Observers think the latest escalation of cold-war like rhetoric may be a result of the slow speed inherent to large bureaucratic bodies such as Nato that work with the speed of glaciers: once they are put into motion you can't stop it anymore. "We had a very pronounced trend in the increase of Russia's military activities and that trend essentially was interrupted by the intervention in Syria," says Pavel Baev, a military analyst with the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO). "We suddenly had reduced Russian activities in that region but what happened before already set the bureaucratic machine in Nato in motion. All sorts of alarm bells were ringing and there were all sorts of war games which were showing that Russia has a position of military dominance, that the three Baltic States are very exposed, and slowly and gradually now the response is coming through. And so the two machines move out of sinc." At the same time he says Moscow does feel it is being surrounded more and more, and is especially worried about developments in Ukraine, that slipped out of its control. Last week, the Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Committee, of the parliament, even advised to break diplomatic ties with Russia. This may not happen any time soon, but the analysis suggests that for the time being Russia's attempts to protect what is left of its Soviet empire and the reactions to that from the West are looking increasingly like a throwback to the days of the Cold War.

Karissa Smith, Sarah Starks and Gabriella Howard power the Christopher High softball team. Photo by Robert Eliason. Christopher High softball coach Amanda Tellez believes ace Gabriella Howard has pitched every single game for the Cougars for the last three-plus seasons, which is a remarkable feat and displays Howard's durability and consistency. Howard is one of four returning seniors, including Isabella Delgado, Amanda Bombino and Sarah Starks, a UC Davis-signee. A first baseman, Starks possesses a potent bat and came into the first practice in the best shape of her career. Delgado, a left fielder, hits around the six spot and leads by example, Tellez said. Delgado has the potential to be a powerful hitter, and possesses some key intangibles, like hustling on every play and transferring what's done in practice to the games. "She doesn't speak up a lot, but you can tell by her actions she's a ballplayer and gets the job done," Tellez said. Bombino, a catcher, didn't play for the Cougars last year and also possesses the ability to hit with power, produce extra-base hits and drive in runs. The Cougars have some terrific sophomores, including third baseman Bianca Duarte, center fielder Emily Budelli, utility Nina Taylor, and right fielder Ashley Fong. Christopher also has six freshmen on the roster, a surefire sign that the program reloads instead of rebuilds. One of those freshmen, starting shortstop Karissa Smith, possesses plenty of skills and natural ability. Kaylee Smallen starts at second base and does whatever it takes to get the job done. Beyond setting goals numbers-wise, Starks has placed a premium on instilling in the younger players an example of what it takes to play at the four-year level. For the freshmen who are seeing Starks for the first time, there is perhaps no better example to learn from. Starks never takes shortcuts and is diligent in everything softball-related, especially when it comes to putting in extra time to improve. Starks has been impressed with several of the underclassmen, with Smith and Smallen standing out as freshmen. The Cougars entered Tuesday's game against Gilroy at 1-3-1, having just picked up their first win of the season, a 17-0 drubbing of Evergreen Valley. Starks knows the team is still getting familiar with each other and developing the chemistry needed to play to its potential. Emma Horn, Mikayla Verni, Emily Baumgartner, Hannah Smith and Isabella Suarez all have the potential to make an impact, whether it's Verni catching, Horn and Suarez utilizing their speed and Baumgartner and Verni providing a no-fear attitude.

Trying to Keep It Agile Customer feedback: What we can learn from game developers Online game companies are frequently on the forefront of technology, both the technology of the games, as well as how they are developed. For example, IMVU, a 3D online chat website, has been a leader in continuous deployment, deploying as many as 50 changes a day. Another development leader was Cmune, a Chinese company that used to make the MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) first-person shooter game, UberStrike. (UberStrike was "sunsetted" in June 2016.) In case you are not familiar with first-person-shooter games, there are various levels in a game, each one more difficult than the previous ones. As a player proceeds through the game, gaining more points (however this is achieved in the mechanics of the particular game), the player ascends to harder and harder levels. Each level has a map, which defines the terrain and buildings that the player has to negotiate while playing the level. Designing a map is a two-pronged affair. First the terrain and buildings have to be defined in such a way as to be fun to play. Next they have to be modeled and textured, so they look realistic. Traditionally, both steps are completed before the level is made available to players. If the majority of players decide that the level is too easy or too difficult, then all of the effort in modeling and texturing it is wasted. Cmune decoupled these two steps for UberStrike with their Bluebox Maps program. Proposed level maps were made available to interested customers. They were not textured (they had a uniform blue color, thus the name of the program), and high-quality modeling had not been completed. Also, game mechanics, such as shooting, were not implemented. Here is an example of a Bluebox map. Participating customers could download a Bluebox map and try it out, in order to determine whether it would be fun to play. Based on the feedback Cmune receives on a map, they either continued with the high-quality modeling and texturing, or they discarded the map. Developers outside of the game world can learn from the Bluebox program. When we think about getting feedback from customers, we usually think of showing them completed features. Since we break even large epics down into sprint-sized pieces, the feature we are demonstrating to the customer may be a small, incremental change, but it is generally complete. In some cases, it may be beneficial to break changes into even smaller pieces, large enough that the customer can see if we are going in the right direction, but not polished enough to actually release. This must be done with caution, particularly if we are using continuous integration, or other SCM methodologies where everything gets checked into the main branch. (For some hints, see my previous post, Small Stories, Legacy Code, and Scaffolding.) Perhaps a feature flag can be added, so when it is turned on, it lets the customer go as far as the part being demonstrated, and then stops. One of the buzzwords of Agile development is failing fast. The sooner you can find out that what you are developing is not what the customer wants, the sooner you can change course, without a lot of wasted development time. The perils of Continuous Deployment Continuous Deployment (CD), where changes are released several times a day, is popular among online game sites. IMVU for example, is a very strong champion of CD, and they use it to 50 times a day. I used to use IMVU, and as far as I could tell, the releasing of changes was completely invisible to the user. But I have tried some other online games the use CD, and was not the case for them. What frequently happens is that you are doing the game thing, and a window pops up that says "The game has been enhanced. Please refresh your browser." And when you refresh, the game takes two minutes to load in all of its assets, which really disrupts the game play. An even worse situation is a Real-Time Strategy wargame that a friend was playing. The game deployed a change in the battle rules, regarding how much food had to be sent along with troops in battle. The change took effect immediately, right in the middle of a battle, and all her troops starved to death because the amount of food she had sent was no longer sufficient. In case some of you are thinking "These are just games. What's the big deal if your imaginary troops starve to death?" there are a couple of things to keep in mind. One is that there is a lot of money in online games, and things like this make your users get angry and go play somebody else's game. Another is that the same thing could apply to any online system. Suppose someone is half way through booking a hotel room, and you deploy a change that alters the quoted room rate. They will not be happy when they get their bill, and it does not match what you quoted them. It's probably not possible to come up with a universal design pattern to make live deployments transparent to users, but as a minimum, the change should not completely lose the user's state, should not require a bunch of time to reload assets that were already loaded, and should not change the outcome of transactions that are in process (like battles in a game, or hotel rooms that are being booked).

All tillage tools need to be built to handle the stress of the fast paced industry of today. However, deep tillage machines with depth capacities well below the normal operating depths need to be especially tough. In many instances these tools will be operating in profiles that have never been touched by a tillage tool before. The Zone Commander has what it takes. Built with 6" x 4" structural steel tubing, the robotically welded frame is the foundation for the heavy-duty Cat. II, III or IV three-point hitch. The robust frame is the anchor for the lead coulters that start the tillage process. The rear bar of the frame supports the Zone Commander's shank assemblies. The Zone Commander shank mounts are built to withstand the rigorous torture that operating in unknown soil profiles can dish out. The auto-reset shank assemblies allow for 3,500 lbs. of point load and 17" of trip height. Rigid shear bolt models are also available for areas with minimal soil obstructions. The heart and soul of the Zone Commander is the shank leg, which cuts a narrow slot into the soil profile. The geometry of the shank leg and the shape of the point combine to lift and lower the soil between the slots and develop a network of horizontal cracks and breaks between the shanks. This slot along with the cracks and breaks created in the growth profile allow water and oxygen to infiltrate the soil to enhance plant growth for the next season. The depth of the slot is determined by how deep and thick the compaction layer is. This process is instrumental in keeping the biological environment favorable for residue decomposition. The Zone Commander can be equipped with either auto-reset shank assemblies or rigid shear bolt shanks. Shank leg options include the 1 ¼" straight leg, the 1 ¼" parabolic leg, or the ¾" low disturbance shank. Spring cushion lead coulters with different blade options cut the residue and slice the upper layers in the soil profile ahead of the shanks. Easily adjustable gauge wheels allow for quick, positive depth changes for different conditions. The Zone Commander is available in 3 to 7 shank non-folding models and in 7, 8 and 9 shank folding models. The Zone Commander is more than just another ripper. The Zone Commander can be an integral part of almost any type of cropping scenario. Even though these machines were initially designed for deep in-line tillage, some customers use the Zone Commander for incorporation practices such as sludge and manure application. Others have utilized the parabolic shank leg option for more disturbance on the soil surface. Still others have opted for the low disturbance shank legs for the absolute least amount of surface disturbance. From true no-tillers to conventional tillage aficionados, the Zone Commander and its concept of compaction management is a yield enhancement investment. The Brillion Zone Commander…one machine…widely diversified…your investment.

My friend and I are watching my Gomer Pyle: USMC disc set and I just keep thinking I can't imagine Gomer killing anyone. We're watching the episode Survival of the Fattest right now and the Sargent yells at Gomer for filling his helmet with daises. I steered clear of Gomer Pyle for years (decades, more likely), have watched it a few times on MeTV of late, and it's not half-bad. Gomer's goofiness doesn't overwhelm it nearly so much as I thought it would. Jim Nabors was a likable guy, and he had a great singing voice. For my money, Frank Sutton was the best thing about Gomer Pyle. The guy had major acting chops, actually used them on the show.

It seems that everyone wants to join our sector of crowdfunding. Two of the world's leading investment banks are looking at a move into the fast expanding peer-to-peer (P2P) lending sector, also known as marketplace lending, and the space inhabited by Money&Co. Societe Generale and Goldman Sachs, prominent financial institutions both, are racing to embrace technology to disrupt traditional finance. The Financial Times reports (subscription required) that they are among several banks discussing a plan to back Aztec Money, an emerging P2P financing platform that has created an online market place where people can bid for company invoices. The article reports that "their involvement will disappoint purists, who have trumpeted the nascent P2P industry as a democratic innovation with the power to usurp a discredited banking industry". Another FT article on the democratisation of finance relates how technology has been able to improve access for the masses. The piece argues that only a few banks are thinking radically about technology and finance, using big data to analyse customer behaviour, for example, or partnering with P2P lenders: "It is the broadening and deepening of the crowdfunded debt market that has been one of the most striking trends of recent years. From Shanghai to London to New York peer-to-peer lenders, online platforms that match people looking to invest money with individuals and companies that want to borrow it, are doubling or tripling in size every few months." The FT also reports that a bundle of P2P consumer loans has been given a credit rating by Moody's, the first time a major rating agency has evaluated a securitisation deal created by the fast-growing P2P lending sector. The piece reports that achieving such a credit rating is a major win for the nascent peer-to-peer, or marketplace lending, sector as it seeks to expand by tapping new types of investors. *** Check out the marketplace for P2P loans. New offerings are in the pipeline, but lenders can purchase exisitng loans from other registered lenders. Pleas bear in mind that lending carries risk. See the risk warnings on our Home page, and read more on risk in our Frequently Asked Questions section.

When a divorce is filed, some states put an automatic restraining order on the sale or transfer of property acquired during the marriage, regardless of who holds title. Even in states where the restraining order is not automatic, a spouse may request that the court issue one if she is concerned that marital property may be liquidated. If you violate this order without first obtaining consent from the court or your spouse, you can be held in contempt. Further, if the transfer was made with the intent to shield the asset from the divorce, such as selling your home to a sibling for less than fair market value, the court has the authority to cancel the transfer.

Reichert announces he will not run in 2018 Seven-term Congressman to step away, devote more time to family by Mark Klaas Wednesday, September 6, 2017 3:50pm U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert, R-Auburn, will not run for an eighth term in 2018. The recently-turned 67-year-old congressman said in news release Wednesday that his decision was made in terms of what was best for his family. "After spending time during the August work period with family and friends, reflecting on the past, discussing the future, and celebrating another birthday, I have decided this will be my last term and I will not run for re-election in November 2018," Reichert said in a statement. "It was not an easy decision but I believe it was the right one for my family and me. I have spent my entire career and devoted my life to service. I see this not just as a job, but as a calling – a calling I will not walk away from." Reichert's decision creates a political opportunity for Democrats who have been looking to flip his 8th Congressional District seat and regain control of the U.S. House. Democrats have been lining up to unseat Reichert, who represents a "swing district" that includes parts of eastern King and Pierce counties, spans the Cascade range and stretches to Kittitas and Chelan counties. State Rep. Drew Stokesbary, R-Auburn, is among the candidates rumored to be considering the seat for the mid-term election. Stokesbary, a Duke University educated and Notre Dame Law School graduate, works outside of the Legislature as a lawyer. Reichert has been the target of much criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike. That pressure has increased, most recently from his constituents and opponents who have attacked him for not holding public town hall meetings. In response, Reichert said such gatherings have "degenerated into shouting, yelling and screaming matches." Opponents also have urged Reichert to vote down the House GOP health care plan that passed in May. Reichert was one of 20 Republicans who broke party lines and voted against the bill. For Reichert, the decision to retire comes after a long career devoted to service. He was a member of the U.S. Air Force Reserves for six years, worked with the King County Sheriff's Office for 33 years, becoming the sheriff himself in 1997, and most recently served as a seven-term moderate in Congress. Reichert gained national prominence for his role as the King County sheriff who helped bring Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer, to justice. It served as a springboard to higher office for Reichert, first elected to Congress in 2004. Reichert, in his release, touched on many of his achievements, notably efforts to protect the environment and lives. "In my congressional career, I have always strived to improve the daily lives of my constituents and preserve the majestic beauty of our region," he said. "Whether it was through my work to expand the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area, improve our foster care system and combat sex trafficking, or secure equipment and resources for our first responders, I have taken this honor and responsibility seriously." Reichert continued: "Early on, the importance of trade to the region was clear. From serving on President Obama's Export Council to battling to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank to leading the fight to pass the U.S.-Korea free trade agreement, I have always fought to give our exporters the chance to sell their goods and services around the world," he said. "Now, at this critical time, serving as the first Chairman of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade from Washington State, I remain steadfast in my commitment to Washington's workers, manufacturers and growers – the best in the world." Reichert acknowledged there is more work to be done before he leaves office. "As I finish my last term in the U.S. House of Representatives, I will continue to fight for hard working families, small business and all that makes our community great," he said. Calling Reichert a friend, King County Councilman Reagan Dunn praised Reichert for his work "He has done a terrific job and I am very proud of what he has accomplished for all of us," Dunn said in a statement. "Serving in Congress is very challenging and I watched my late mother, Jennifer Dunn, fight many battles there, as Dave has," Dunn added. "But the environment in Congress has become increasingly challenging for our elected leaders."

Thoughts on Stuttering, Suspicion, and National Security - DID I STUTTER? Earlier this month Kylie Simmons was detained at the Atlanta International Airport when a customs agent reported her dysfluent speech as suspicious. Customs agents accused Simmons of dishonesty based on her speech when responding to questions, and also of lying about being dysfluent. Simmons' treatment by customs enforcement is rooted in the misconception that stuttering is indicative of dishonesty and non-compliance, but is also influenced by institutional racism. An intersectional analysis of this incident must acknowledge the key differences in the experiences of white dysfluent people and dysfluent people of color. Customs enforcement, the TSA, and regional transit security organizations are agents of state-sanctioned violence against bodies they deem suspicious based on appearance, movement, and communication. Most commonly these are people of color, trans people, disabled people, immigrants, and non-native English speakers. With the justification of promoting national security, law enforcement detains, injures, and kills people perceived as suspicious. In responding to incidents such as the treatment of Kylie Simmons, it is critical to examine not only Simmons' unequal treatment but also the role of race and disability working together in the state's policing of its citizens. The fear of suspicious bodies and their threat to national security is spread through "See Something, Say Something" campaigns, which encourage citizens to police each other in transit and other public spaces. These campaigns are effective in maintaining a continuous state of fear, and an understanding that it is one's civic duty to scrutinize the actions of others in order to prevent acts of terrorism. As a disabled, gender nonconforming person who travels often with various mobility aids and medical devices, I have experienced ableism in navigating transit systems including the TSA and customs enforcement. However, when I share my stories of discrimination, it is from a place of racial privilege. As a white person, I can speak out on police brutality with relative confidence that I will not be arrested or killed for being perceived as suspicious, and that neither national security nor the suspiciousness of my body will be used to justify my death at the hands of the state. In responding to Simmons' treatment, I am calling for more than awareness about stuttering, or different training for airport staff. Simple outrage at this incident reveals privilege--since such discrimination happens all the time to racialized bodies that appear non-compliant. In solidarity with Black Lives Matter, I am calling for the abolition of customs enforcement, and an end to the state-sanctioned violence against suspicious bodies. Thank you all for not only writing about my story and promoting a call for action, but thank you for also discussing the multiple forms of discrimination different people who stutter face. I think is it important to not only explore the misconception of stuttering, but to also discuss the topic of marginalized people within the stuttering community as well. Thank you for tackling these subjects! Thank you for so eloquently and concisely summarizing a complex issue by introducing the complications that discrimination/race relations/white privilege cause in an already complex matter. I consider your article a public service.

​​​"VTT and Tampere University of Technology work together to boost the competitiveness of SMEs," says Risto Kuivanen. ​VTT launched the For Industry spearhead programme in early 2015 to provide services for Finnish manufacturing industry. TT's Vice President Erja Turunen says that technology industry plays a significant role in Finnish economy. It accounts for 50% of Finnish exports. "Technology industry employs 280,000 people directly and 700,000 indirectly, which in total accounts for 30% of the workforce in Finland. Manufacturing industry drives domestic production and the international competitiveness of products and services. This is of benefit for both large enterprises and SMEs, which have great potential. These facts motivated VTT to launch the For industry programme," Turunen says. The For Industry programme tackles competitiveness challenges by developing solutions which can be widely exploited by the manufacturing industry in Finland. Competitiveness is built by modern products and production, increased digitalisation and wide utilisation of the industrial internet. The programme makes use of domestic and international networks, alliances and new business models. Large enterprises tend to adopt new technologies quicker than small businesses. The spearhead programme provides pioneering modules for large enterprises, which act as drivers that attract smaller businesses to their network. SMEs benefit from the pull of a larger enterprise's brand. The programme's technologies are specifically tailored to the needs of the Finnish SME sector and can provide a much needed stimulus for both domestic production and international competitiveness of Finnish products and services. "To succeed, SMEs need an excellent product or service (or both), efficient production and business processes as well as the ability to identify their own niche on the market to specialise in an area that large enterprises do not occupy. They also need to have solid expertise and ability to stand out," says Business Development Manager Risto Kuivanen who is managing the programme at VTT. Key technologies in the programme include the industrial internet, 3D printing (also called Additive Manufacturing or AM technology), automation, robotics and embedded intelligence. The programme has a strong basis in the use of digitalisation from the very start. The budget for the programme is EUR 20 million in 2015. VTT has developed a new Project start-off model for SMEs, launching development projects in specific topic areas with SMEs to drive their future growth and success. With these ready-made solution models and methods, the SMEs can react quickly to changes in their operating environment and create new openings by working in cooperation with others. "We decided to create a tailored offering for SMEs because of the vast variety of SMEs in the manufacturing industry. We grouped ideas together to form a net of sorts to catch themes that we feel are important for the sector. We have organised effective 1.5-hour workshops with SMEs, VTT's experts and representatives from funding providers. Companies bring their own views to the table, we discuss them and agree on next steps and follow-up," Kuivanen explains. VTT organised 10 Project start-off workshops before the summer in different parts of the country for 100 participating companies. Another 10 will be organised towards the end of the year. The aim is to bring between 150 to 200 company participants to the workshops this year. Kuivanen ensures that any SMEs that have the spark and determination to grow and develop their production or products are welcome to the workshops. "Working with the SME sector also requires new skills from us. We have taken things on board from Project start-offs and have a better understanding of the needs and business of SMEs. A customer-oriented approach and sales are our key skills," Risto Kuivanen emphasises. A major event in the programme took place this autumn when VTT and the Tampere University of Technology launched the Smart Machines and Manufacturing Competence Centre (SMACC), the most significant centre of its kind in Finland. The annual volume of the competence centre is EUR 40 million in total. The centre aims to boost the potential, competitiveness and exports of Finnish manufacturing industry. SMEs and their profitability take centre stage. The competitive leap will be implemented with smart machines and is driven by cooperation that leverages new technologies. These include smart machines, production and manufacturing technologies, robotics, the industrial internet, digitalisation as well as additive manufacturing, such as 3D technology. The SMACC operating model adopted by VTT and Tampere University of Technology is based on agile virtual teams that support quick experimentation and straightforward problem solving. Networking with Finnish universities and key international partners together with deeper cooperation with other domestic operators is vital to achieve commercial breakthroughs quickly. This will open up completely new business models for SMEs. VTT's Vice President Erja Turunen says that VTT has solid expertise in technology foresight and business, effective infrastructure and research cooperation networks as well as direct access to parties in Finland and international partners. "It is important to cast a wide net in terms of cooperation – we cannot go at it alone. Our spearhead programme is also actively creating a community of researches in Finland. Good examples include the SMACC cooperation with the Tampere University of Technology and the Pirkanmaa region as well as the new partner models we are developing with Finpro. As an important international strategic partner, we have deepened our cooperation with Tecnalia in Spain, which is actively involved in programmes such as Horizon 2020," Turunen says, considering stakeholder involvement in the For Industry spearhead programme. New theme workshops will be available soon on the following topics: automated product design, utilisation of user and customer experience, SME networking, strategy process, risk foresight, possibilities of augmented reality as well as durable components.

Clean indoor air inspired Sandbox to develop new products. The company is set to launch a new, practically silent device that can reduce particles in indoor air by as much as 80 per cent. "Our Sisäilmalähetti ('Indoor Air Messenger') service provides first aid at premises with indoor air problems, by temporarily protecting the users while the issue is fixed," explains Sandbox CEO and Service Developer Jani Moberg. "Knowledge of the performance of the air-purification devices used in our service is vital for us," he emphasises. Moberg founded the company 10 years ago after personal experience with indoor air problems. Demand for the service is the greatest in the public sector, where indoor air problems have an impact on the effectiveness of organisations as well as the productive use of premises. Many schools, daycare centres and hospitals need the service. Sandbox aspires to become the best in the sector, which means a systematic approach to product development. "People are at the core of our operations. Our mission is to protect children and adults from poor indoor air. In our service and product development, we are specifically interested in the value, benefit and experience related to indoor air. To this end, we collect feedback from facility managers and users, innovate and develop new service models constantly," Moberg says. For most of its existence, Sandbox has worked in cooperation with VTT. Among other things, VTT has tested the particle separation, gas filtration and air cleaning ability and by-pass flows of the air cleaning devices used in Sandbox's Sisäilmalähetti services. "Our current R&D project with VTT started two years ago when we licensed a patent developed by VTT. The next step was to develop and launch a commercial product that cleans indoor air," Moberg explains. According to Sandbox CEO Moberg, the R&D project makes Sandbox better equipped to implement its mission and provide new service solutions. "The air diffuser that cleans indoor air developed by Sandbox and VTT offers a new solution to indoor air problems. It reduces the number of particles in indoor air by as much as 80%, is practically silent and consumes very little energy, only a few watts," says Moberg. The placement of the device is different from traditional free-standing devices: It is installed in the ceiling, with only a sleek front panel visible to the users of the facility. The air diffuser that cleans indoor air is connected to the intake air channel, which allows the device to use the pressure in the channel. "The operating method, structure and filtering technology of the device contain unique innovations and ambition that are strongly guided by our vision of better indoor air quality," Moberg says. With the new innovation, Sandbox is ready to expand its operations abroad. China in particular is an interesting target market as indoor air quality problems are commonplace there. "We have recruited two new employees due to the project. We expect to see both our personnel and net sales grow further in both Finland and China. We believe that we have what it takes to think big and achieve great things. We can complement the key product with other products and service business," Moberg says.

Vastavam web: China said on Thursday it wants to be good neighbors with North Korea, after the isolated country's state news agency published a rare criticism of Chinese state media commentaries calling for tougher sanctions over the North's nuclear program.The United States has urged China, North Korea's only major ally, to do more to rein in the North's nuclear and missile programs, which have prompted an assertive response from the Trump administration, warning that an "era of strategic patience" is over.In Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said China's position was consistent and clear. "China's position on developing friendly, good-neighborly relations with North Korea is also consistent and clear," Geng told reporters, in response to a question about the KCNA commentary.China was unswervingly devoted to the denuclearization of the peninsula and maintaining peace and security and resolving the issue through talks, Geng added.China has repeatedly said that while it is happy to help arrange talks, it is ultimately up to the United States and North Korea to sort out their differences.Diplomats say Washington and Beijing are negotiating a possible stronger U.N. Security Council response – such as new sanctions – to North Korea's repeated ballistic missile launches in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions. It also accused China of "hyping up" damage caused by North Korean nuclear tests to China's three northeastern provinces.The United States has sent a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to Korean waters and a pair of strategic U.S. bombers flew training drills with South Korea and Japan in another show of strength this week."The reckless military provocation is pushing the situation on the Korean peninsula closer to the brink of nuclear war," KCNA said on Tuesday.

All folk reviews All rock reviews Contact Darren Darren's backstage gallery Darren's forthcoming gigs Darren's music interviews Darren's music PR Hastings music scene Other music writing and links Bernie Tormé at The Borderline 31/10/15 November 2, 2015 Live reviews, Rock musicBernie Torme, Borderline, Gillan, live review, London, rock, rock gig, setlistDarren Johnson It's 1981 and the band Gillan, fronted by former Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillan, created a ripple of excitement amongst the teenage rock fans at my school when they burst into the charts with a cover of New Orleans. One of the things that seemed to make this far more than just a heavied-up version of an old rock 'n' roll number was the guitarist, Bernie Tormé. He looked like a punk, acted like a hippy, sounded like Hendrix and seemed different from anyone around in rock and metal at the time. Tormé was soon gone from Gillan and, after a very brief sojourn with Ozzy Osbourne, he formed his own band and started hitting the smaller venues circuit. That's where I first caught him live. And in similar types of venues now, he's still out there gigging as well as recording. Hot on the success of his crowd-funded Flowers & Dirt double album last year, he's used the crowd-funding formula once again and has a brand new album to promote, Blackheart. First, though, he opens with a storming version of Wild West, the standout track from one of his early solo albums, Electric Gypsies. He has a really strong band in Chris Heilmann (bass) and Ian Harris (drums percussion) and the power trio format suits Torme's style of music perfectly. Well, of course, why wouldn't it? The fuzzy feedback-laden guitar is combined with well-written, accessible tunes and vocals that give an honesty and meaning to the lyrics. From the same era, the excellent Turn Out The Lights also gets an outing. It's not just about nostalgia, though, and songs from both last year's Flowers and Dirt album and this year's Blackheart both feature prominently. It's not all blistering hard rock, either. As on the recent albums there's some lighter, bluesier, folkier moments, including Flow from the new album and the excellent Spirit Road from Flowers and Dirt.. Soon, however, we are nearing the end with an explosive set of Gillan songs, including the one that got me hooked on Tormé's guitar-playing in the first place, New Orleans. At the very end of the set, friend of the band and the man who first helped Torme get the crowd-funding venture off the ground, Peter Cook, joined the band for an encore after pledging to "buy" a guitar solo as part of the crowd-funding appeal. In a big arena gig with big corporate sponsors this could sound like the tackiest thing in the world. In a small intimate venue of this size, however, it's genuinely fun and there is no doubting Cook's evident passion both for Tormé's music itself and for helping him secure a viable recording career in this challenging era for the music industry. Indeed, compared to the old record company model, the crowd-funding approach has allowed Tormé to connect very directly with fans and even re-connect to those, like me, who had fallen by the wayside and previously lost touch with Tormé's career. A mention, also, for the Bordeline. While numerous other live venues in the West End have closed their doors, this 300-capacity venue has held its open now for over 20 years, always with a stirling line-up of acts throughout the year and the perfect setting for Bernie Tormé tonight.

It was a great honour to play with Mr Torme and the man deserves so much more. Proof positive that the gentle giants of the rock industry don't always get the attention they deserve. I cannot take the credit for securing his new recording career – I simply drank beer with him and chatted shit. It seems that a host of other people were willing to do the same. Nonetheless I'm glad to have played a small part in his renaissance through my 'marketing bullshit' etc. 🙂 What a night !!

A double suicide car bomb blast followed by gunfire has been heard in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, according to police. A loud explosion reportedly took place on Friday, followed by a second blast and sustained gunfire which broke out near the president's residence. At least 18 people have been killed, the Aamin Ambulance service said. It is not immediately clear who was behind the attack. "We understand it is a suicide car bomb near the presidential palace area," Major Mohamed Ahmed, a police officer, told Reuters news agency. The suspected attacks come a day after the Somali government had issued a "terror warning" in Mogadishu.

This story is part of NPR's series Journey Home. We're going to the places presidential candidates call home and finding out what those places tell us about how they see the world. Few presidential candidates go around invoking Richard Nixon. But that's exactly what GOP hopeful John Kasich does. It all goes back to a complaint Kasich had about his dorm room and a meeting with a university president 45 years ago. Kasich is nothing if not persistent. He was a kid from the working class McKees Rocks, Pa., but he went to college at Ohio State University, and that's where he kicked off his presidential campaign this summer. OSU football legend and two-time Heisman trophy winner Archie Griffin warmed up the crowd at Kasich's campaign launch. He led a cheer that anyone who's attended a Buckeye football game knows — Griffin shouted "O-H" and the crowd replied with a loud "I-O." But Kasich the student was anything but intimidated. There's one tale from back then that's become a campaign staple for him. As a college freshman, he had some complaints about that high-rise dormitory, including a rule forbidding residents from opening the windows. He says he got nowhere with housing officials, "so I called the President's Office and started badgering them until they finally let me in." "He says, 'Tomorrow I'm going to go down and visit with President Nixon. And I said 'Well sir, there's a number of things that I would like to talk to him about also do you think I could go with you?' And he said 'No, you can't go.'" "And he said, 'Well, I guess I could do that.'" "My mother answers the phone and I said, 'Mom, I'm going to need an airline ticket, the president of the United States would like to have a meeting with me in the Oval Office,'" Kasich recounted. "And my mother is shouting 'Honey, pick up the phone there's something really wrong with Johnny.'" In the official White House photo of Kasich in the Oval Office he looks even younger than his 18 years as he shakes Nixon's hand. Both are smiling. It's dated Dec. 22, 1970. There's no telling exactly what they talked about because there aren't any notes detailing the conversation. And it was just two months before Nixon's infamous Oval Office taping system was installed. Back at Ohio State, Kasich's friends and acquaintances all heard the story --over and over. "Yeah we all heard about it," said David Leland, who was a student at the time. "We viewed it as sort of weird, OK? Because Nixon wasn't exactly a figure that was admired on the campus of Ohio State at that particular time." It was the era of Vietnam war protests and the draft. But Kasich was a proud and vocal Republican. Leland, meanwhile, was and is a Democat. He's currently a state lawmaker in Ohio and a Hillary Clinton supporter. But he says he's glad Kasich is in the race on the GOP side. As for that moment from the highlight reel of Kasich's college days, Leland adds this: "You gotta admire the guy's guts and his ability to do what he wants to do. I mean whatever your own political views are or your views of him personally you have to admire his ability to set a goal and make it happen. And that's what he did in that particular case and that's pretty much what he's done throughout his life." Now, there is one other detail worth noting from that Oval Office moment 45 years ago this month. Kasich recalls that he was told he'd have exactly five minutes with Nixon. "I'll tell you what I'm thinking: I got new jacket, new shirt, new tie, new pants. I'm not coming out in five lousy minutes," he said. "They're out of luck." It's easy to see that same persistent, pushy kid in the now 63-year-old John Kasich. Except this time he's looking to actually move into the White House.

« AVDGGAD 07 – World Record (1976) AVDGAD – 09 – Vital (1978) » AVDGAD 08 -The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome (1977) The sound is becoming tighter with this album – less prog, more new wave, as was not uncommon at the time – look at the direction Peter Gabriel took the same year. A change in sound is due in part, it seems, to the departures of organist Hugh Banton and saxophonist/flautist David Jackson, the return of bassist Nic Potter and the addition of violinist Graham Smith. A violin riff from Smith opens Lizard Play, the album's first track. It's a signal of new things, to be sure. Lizard Play is also notable for some nicely mixed harmonies. Running times are shorter, arrangements are less improvisational, but the vocals are still speaking/howling combinations we've come to know and love. Replacing horns with a violin produces a slightly more listener-friendly sound, which works well with the shorter songs. I especially like the double-tracked violin in the second half of Cat's Eye/Yellow Fever (Running). That's a mouthful of a title – I think we've got the same glut of ideas that populate earlier VDGG work, but condensed somewhat. There's a fine lip-sync video of this track (alas the sound is not cleaned up) that shows there was also a cellist in this lineup. You can hear the cello on the album, but the player isn't credited on Wikipedia. The notes for the video name him as Chas Dickie. The Sphinx In The Face (one of two songs on which Jackson plays) opens with a Dirty Water-style bassline which is kind of tasty. Stylistically it might have done well if pushed as a new wave track, but lyrically it relies heavily on the repetition of a refrain that Hammill usually avoids. (And I'm not sure if You're so young, you're so old / You're so queer, you're so strong / Such a drag to be told / You're so here, you're so gone ranks with his best writing. A 90-second reprise after Chemical World seems a little superfluous.) Chemical World is sort of Suede meets Fairport Convention via Hamilton Beach. It's kind of an odd album to go out on. They toured it and released a live album (Vital, coming up next), and then went on hiatus for 28 years. Tags 1977, Van Der Graaf Generator

Department for Work & Pensions DWP and TPR to improve pension communication By Amy Austin The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is working with The Pensions Regulator on how to improve the information scheme members receive about their pension. According to an answer by minister for Pensions and Financial Inclusion Guy Opperman to a written question on June 13, the DWP has teamed up with TPR to work out the best way to improve the information schemes provide their members. The DWP has also engaged with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) on its proposals to improve the information received by pension scheme members. As part of a consultation aimed at making retirees do the best they can with their pension pots (published June 28), the FCA proposed changes to wake up packs, which will come into force from November 2019. Wake-up packs will be issued to savers on their fiftieth birthday and will have to include a generic warning on the risks around accessing a pension pot. Alongside the new one page wake-up pack, pension providers must also give risk warnings on a single side of A4 paper. Mr Opperman said: "The department is working with TPR as to how best to introduce equivalent measures for occupational pension schemes and will also seek to involve industry stakeholders such as the Association of British Insurers in this work." The government considers that providing people with the right information about their pensions at the right time in their life can be key in helping them make more effective decisions about their savings, Mr Opperman said, adding that "it is sensible to tailor communications to people's circumstances". In his answer, Mr Opperman said: "There will be some differences in the information someone in work would find more helpful than someone aged 75 or over who is already retired. "It is important, however, that all savers are alerted to the risks posed by pension scams and we welcome the inclusion of that messaging in the approach proposed by the ABI." On June 3, the ABI published a guidance document which focused on raising awareness of the risks that consumers face at different ages as they approach retirement. It recommended that savers receive three different forms of risk warnings at ages 50, then 55 to 70, and then at age 75. The different warnings would cover scams and contributions for the younger groups, and then tax, life expectancy and power of attorney risks for the older groups – for example. However, Geoff Buck, a committee member at the Association of Member-Directed Pension Schemes has previously warned that wake-up packs could be seen as junk mail as individuals will receive these packs from multiple providers. Mr Buck said: "Individuals who are receiving these wake-up packs but may not necessarily be thinking about retirement could easily discard these as junk mail and could be missing out on important messages on retirement saving." The reform to wake-up packs are expected to add a total one off cost of £19.8m to about 180 firms' balance sheets, alongside an ongoing cost of up to £5.9m from sending out more packs, attracting additional customer contacts and a decrease in profits from consumers shopping around for annuities.

A rip current at the beach can be deadly, but experts say you can escape by doing this At least 100 people are killed by rip currents every year. Here's what you need to know about how to spot them and what to do if you're caught. Check out this story on USATODAY.com: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/06/19/rip-currents-how-to-spot-one-beach-how-to-escape/1454613001/ Elinor Aspegren, USA TODAY Published 12:59 p.m. ET June 19, 2019 | Updated 1:32 p.m. ET June 19, 2019 Rip currents are not easy to spot and are even harder to get out of. Here's how to avoid and swim (the right way) out of a rip current. Just the FAQs, USA TODAY Summer officially begins Friday and that means more people will start spending time at the beach. But if you've ever soaked up the sun and sand, you've probably seen a scary sign telling you to watch out for rip currents. Rip currents are a real danger for beachgoers: The U.S. Lifesaving Association estimates more than 100 people are killed by rip currents every year, and lifeguards rescue at least 30,000 swimmers a year from rip currents. But what are rip currents? Why are they so dangerous? Why should you avoid your gut instinct if you get caught in one? Here's what to know before heading to the beach this summer. What are rip currents? You might have heard of rip currents by the common misnomer "rip tides." They are actually two different things, according to the National Ocean Service. A rip tide is a specific type of current associated with the swift movement of tidal water through inlets and the mouths of rivers and harbors. Rip currents occur in bodies of water with breaking waves; they are channels of water that flow at a faster pace than the surrounding area. Swimmers who are caught in rip currents can get sucked away at speeds of up to 8 feet per second, far too fast for many swimmers to make it safely back to shore. The National Weather Service and other websites post warnings about high chances of rip currents, so swimmers almost always have ample warning that rip currents are possible or are occurring. Identify: Rip currents are dangerous; here's how to spot them What should I do if I get caught in one? First, don't panic – there is a way out. Remain calm and swim parallel to the shoreline, which is perpendicular to the current. Or just go with the flow and ride out the rip current, saving your energy for the swim back to shore. Don't become a victim by trying to save someone. If you see someone caught in a rip current, get help from a lifeguard, if available. Call 911 for further assistance. Falk Feddersen, professor of physical oceanography at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, told USA TODAY that when people are not strong swimmers, they tend to panic and try to swim against the current, which results in exhaustion and drowning. He recommended simply bobbing with the water until you make it back to shore or you are away from the active parts of the rip current. "Once you're away from the active current, you can swim back to shore," he said. Tedd Wallace, former mayor of South Lyon, Michigan, nearly drowned March 1, 2015, in a riptide while boogie boarding and was pulled near the other side of these rocks while in the U.S Virgin Islands. (Photo: Provided to the Observer & Eccentric) April 2019: California high school football player presumed drowned in rip current July 2017: Bystanders form human chain to rescue swimmers from Lake Michigan Why are rip currents so dangerous? To get an idea of how dangerous a rip current can be, you only need to look at the many deaths or near-deaths over the years. A California high school football player drowned in a rip current while boogie boarding at Half Moon Bay in April. In July 2017, at least 30 people formed a human chain to rescue nine people from a rip current in Lake Michigan. A tourist died after saving a Michigan mayor caught in a rip current in the Caribbean in March 2015. A 2014 study by the University of New South Wales says that the rapid expelling of energy – which can be caused by panicking or swimming to the shore – often leads to drowning. "Energy should be conserved wherever possible," wrote Rob Brander, author of the study. Feddersen explained that it's unlikely that a rip current will pull you out to sea. He added that once you have knowledge of rip currents and how to deal with them, they can be a "beautiful, cool and fun" feature to a beach vacation.

Following the involvement of neighboring -they created a campaign of crowdfunding and small aeolias were sold to finance the largest one - and the Town Hall, the sculpture will remain in the city after having been exposed in the Kunstsommer festival. Aeolia´s Park Eolo has left a wake of life from The Basque Country all the way to Wiesbaden. The avenue, Schwalbacher Straße, awakens, grooved by a giant winged seed, Aeolia, trapped in its flight toward this territory, to settle and germinate. The chosen spot, with a pronounced cultural and territorial division, highlights the need for union between both worlds. To this end Pilar Soberón speaks to us of the plasticity of movement, of transit and mutation; Conditions inherent to the living being, animal and vegetable. It seems as if the God Eolo, had ceased blowing and the golden seed thereby freeze-framed in sinuous movement through space, proclaiming itself as a reference.

Q: change 201401(numeric) in to date variable in R enter image description here var1 is a numeric variable i try as.Date many times but it did not work I want to change the 201401(year-month) to date variable. A: Dates also need a day, and you do not have that. So you need to assume which day of the month your are looking at: dat <- data.frame(var1 = c(201401, 201402, 201403), Freq=sample(1:3)) assumed_day <- 15 dat$date <- as.Date(paste(dat$var1, assumed_day), format = "%Y%m %d") print(dat) # var1 Freq date #1 201401 1 2014-01-15 #2 201402 2 2014-02-15 #3 201403 3 2014-03-15 See as.Date.

https://www.nhregister.com/nba/article/Lakers-hire-Warriors-assistant-Luke-Walton-as-11329686.php Lakers hire Warriors assistant Luke Walton as head coach Greg Beacham The Associated Press Published 10:41 pm EDT, Friday, April 29, 2016 LOS ANGELES >> Luke Walton is coming home to rebuild the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers reached an agreement Friday night with the Golden State assistant to become their head coach, dramatically choosing a leader for their new era after Kobe Bryant. The Lakers grabbed Walton just five days after they fired Byron Scott, who led the 16-time NBA champions to the two worst seasons in franchise history. Walton spent nine seasons with the Lakers, winning two championship rings as a smart, steady contributor. Three years after his retirement, the 36-year-old Southern California native is back to become the 26th head coach in franchise history. "We're excited to bring Luke back to Los Angeles, where we feel he's going to start an outstanding coaching career," Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said. "He's one of the brightest young coaching minds in the game and we feel fortunate that he'll be leading the on-court future of our team." Walton seemed to be the ideal candidate for the Lakers from the start, given his equal fluency in the Lakers' history and the Warriors' cutting-edge brand of beautiful basketball. He'll have the chance to mold the Lakers' on-court approach in any way he chooses, with the franchise ripe for reinvention after the 20-year career of Bryant. "We are thrilled for Luke," Warriors general manager Bob Myers said. "This is a tremendous opportunity for him to return home and serve as head coach for one of the most storied franchises in sports. Luke has done an incredible job during his two-year stint with our team and has played a significant role in our success." Walton, who got a multiyear contract, will join the Lakers after the Warriors' playoff run. That could take several weeks, because Golden State is headed for the second round with designs on a second straight championship. Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, right, poses for a photo with the league's coach of the year trophy alongside assistant coach Luke Walton. Photo: The Associated Press Walton became a top candidate for coaching jobs earlier this season when he led Golden State to a 39-4 record as the interim head coach while Steve Kerr was sidelined by a back injury. Walton coolly stepped in and coaching the Warriors to an NBA-record 24-0 start before ceding the job back to Kerr. Walton even finished eighth in the voting for NBA's Coach of the Year award, which went to Kerr. "I'm incredibly happy for Luke," Kerr said. "As we witnessed earlier this season, he has all of the intangibles necessary to be an outstanding head coach in this league, including a terrific understanding of the game the ability to communicate with a wide range of people. He's certainly ready for this opportunity and I'm confident he'll do a great job with the Lakers once our season is complete." Walton won't have nearly the same level of talent in Los Angeles, which is rebuilding after the retirement of Bryant, Walton's longtime teammate. The Lakers' core consists of recent draft picks D'Angelo Russell, Julius Randle and Jordan Clarkson alongside an unremarkable collection of veterans and young players. Los Angeles went 21-61 and 17-65 under Scott, the two worst seasons in franchise history. But the lure of the Lakers apparently was strong to Walton, who was drafted by the team out of Arizona in 2003. He was a depth forward on the Lakers' championship teams in 2009 and 2010. After Walton stepped away from the court in 2013, he worked briefly for the Lakers' television network as a broadcaster, and for their D-League team as a player development coach. He became an assistant in Golden State and earned promotion to the job of Kerr's lead assistant this season after Alvin Gentry left.

Guitarist, the Edge, with his inexplicable seem and fashion has also been a focal point in the band. But, has it ever transpired to you, that if not for drummer Larry Mullen's drive to start out a band, U2 could possibly have in no way fashioned. Larry Mullen Jr. was born on Halloween in 1961 in Artane, on the north-aspect of Dublin.

Just a 12 months afterwards, however, Bonnie passed absent and his daughter, Monica took around the classes. Larry has constantly felt that his design and style was 'unteachable'. He would instead perform by intuition and spirit, indicating that 'sometimes he just wished to strike it'. In '73, sister, Cecelia, purchased Larry his first drum package. All this led to the day on September 25, 1976 he would article the be aware on Mt. Temple's bulletin board, contacting for fellow musicians to appear to his dwelling to audition for a band. The auditions took area in Larry's kitchen area. The original lineup for the team was as follows, Bono-Vox on vocals, David Evans, (the Edge), and his brother Dick on guitar, Adam Clayton on bass, and, of system, Larry Mullen Jr. on drums. Larry statements that the bands' real name is really, 'The Larry Mullen Band'. But dim clouds loomed on the horizon. Mom, Maureen Mullen, died tragically in a highway-targeted traffic incident in 1978. Her dying affected Larry a terrific deal. But it was also a driving pressure in his rising motivation to U2, which was in issue by his bandmates, because of his absentee's at gigs and photo-shoots. Frequently, forcing the other band users to get a stand-in look-alike for the drummer. Larry experienced quit school and was functioning while U2 was striving to rating a history offer. This was why there was difficulty with his and the groups schedules. But the reduction of his mom would catapult him towards the band.

One particular strange thing even though. Larry, has experienced tendonitus and back soreness for years. He has observed numerous medical practitioners for these complications, but none had the remedy for the ache. Then, he saw a physician in Germany, who practiced holistic medication. This physician commenced providing him injections of bull's blood… and it is effective, he states! Larry has worked on lots of side projects with artist like, B.B. King, Robbie Robertson, and Emmylou Harris. He has received 22 Grammy awards and a Golden Globe. He also labored on 1 of the Mission Unachievable soundtracks. The drummer digs his Harley Davidsons', which he has clocked more than 10,000 miles whilst driving from gig to gig. He loves the King…the King of rock n roll, Elvis Pressley, (for more youthful readers). Larry Mullen, a 15 calendar year-aged kid who posted a note on a bulletin board and built new music record. Now a multi- award profitable artist and essential good results.

Deutsche Bank on Tuesday warned of significant pending write-offs tied to Alt-A mortgages, adding to recent industry speculation that the mortgage class would be the next shoe to drop this earnings season. The company said in a brief statement Tuesday that it expects first quarter 2008 mark-downs to approximate 2.5 billion euros, or $3.9 billion, and cited market "conditions [that] have become significantly more challenging during the last few weeks." Alt-A isn't the only area expected to contribute to losses -- the bank also said that leveraged loans and loan commitments and commercial real estate would be affected by write-downs -- but it is the first time a major i-bank has warned of looming losses in Alt-A mortgages. "Truthfully, it's rather ominous," said one source, who asked not to be named. "There is plenty of Alt-A out there that hasn't yet been marked." Housing Wire recently covered a Clayton report that found Alt-A deliquencies nearing 18 percent in February, despite a the near non-existence of outstanding borrower rate resets. The report also found that loss severity on Alt-A defaults was approaching the historically high levels of subprime mortgages, as well. Disclosure: The author held no positions in DB when this story was originally published. HW reporters and writers follow a strict disclosure policy, the first in the mortgage trade.

As I spoke to in a previous post (Public Speaking Mastery – Start Creating Positive Speaking Habits Today): Rituals have existed in all societies in one form or another as a form of education, social endorsement, and important rite of passage. Rituals in the realm of public speaking can be used to make a clean break from previous negative experiences with public speaking and take the step to speaking success. To be clear, herein I speak of rituals in a non-spiritual secular sense from a purely scientific vantage point. Rituals have always held several characteristics that make them powerful mechanisms of impacting change and personal growth. In modern Western society we have many rites of passages which involve rituals such as confirmation, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, prom, etc. These rituals give us the same gifts humans have sought from the ritual process since early man. They initiate us into a new experience or stage of life that makes a lasting change or personal evolution. Rituals encourage personal growth, epiphanies and ultimately health self-esteem. All of these breakthroughs are vitally important in our lives but they all help in being a better public speaker. Truth is we can take the notion of ritual and apply it powerfully to overcoming our limitations in public speaking. Creative visualization is the practice of seeking to affect our real world experience by changing our inner thoughts and expectations – in this case we are referring to using actual visualization(s). Creative visualization involves using your own internal visualization to guide you to new and positive practice of "seeing" public speaking as a positive experience. Find a safe, quiet and peaceful place where you can be relaxed. Sit in a relaxed posture and close your eyes. Visualize the optimal conditions of delivering your speech. Run through it in great detail. See yourself perfectly executing the speech, the positive audience interaction, the smiles, the positive conclusion and evaluation of your performance. If you run through your speech several times this practice should yield a change in your confidence level and performance quality. Repeat till you feel a change in your internal experience of speaking. You will notice an outer experience of looking more relaxed, smiling more and even seeing the audiences be more receptive. Start by tensing the muscles of the face and then letting that tension go. It often helps to visualize the stress as smoke or heat and see it melt or float away as you practice this technique. Then continue on down through the whole body the the shoulders, arms, hands, etc. Always remembering to tense and relax each part slowly and enjoy letting go of your anxiety. Once you get the hang of these basic techniques you can start by combining creative visualization and progressive relaxation to your fear of public speaking. Using both of these techniques yield results but require persistent patient practice. This is merely one of the things you learn in our public speaking and communication training the Institute of Public Speaking. Contact us today to learn more. 2 Responses to "The Value of Positive Ritual-Positive Habit – The Pre-Speech Ritual – Part II" Thanks so much! Please consider joining our mailing list for updating tips on public speaking.

The Evolving Role of CIOs and How the Board Can Spark Transformation Betsy Atkins The past few decades have seen an explosion in the number of C-level roles at the top of global corporations. Many of these are company specific, trendy or just confusing (how is a Chief Information Officer different from a Chief Knowledge Officer?). But the overall trend shows just how complex and specialized running a corporation has become in a time of accelerating, disruptive change. New leaders with new skills truly are needed to survive in this environment, but this also demands regular rethinking of some current C-level roles. In my role with technology companies (which today means all companies), I've seen this turbocharged evolution hit the role of the Chief Information Officer. Just within the past 12'18 months, the role of the CIO has quickly been transformed. The CIO's office fills a crucial need, but may be the wrong 'tool' for meeting the demands of the Digital Business age. The CIO began as a technical pathfinder for companies wrestling with early digital and networking needs. It was viewed as (and typically still is) a back-office, G&A-budgeted function, a cost center supporting SAP/ERP platforms, which today are increasingly legacy systems. The CIO role was measured by the number of company servers, how many employees worked in the data center, and how often someone yelled, 'The network is down!' The past decade has seen the pace of digital change in business push the CIO out of the back office and into a sometimes-uncomfortable new role ' the company leader for digital transformation. Once tucked away in the CFO's chain of command, many CIOs now have front-and-center attention and new responsibility for plotting digital strategy. With new responsibilities for incorporating digital change into strategy, some CIOs are being recast as Chief Digital Officers (CDOs). Traditional responsibilities for overseeing company platforms and systems, while still critical, are gaining powerful added responsibilities under this newly created CDO role. Sounds impressive, but I've seen many companies struggling, with a CIO role that has one foot still firmly stuck in the past. More of the company's data processing is being outsourced to cloud services like Amazon's AWS and Microsoft's Azure. Also, C-level functions that once depended on the CIO to manage their tech selections are now handling it directly. The Chief Human Resources Officer is making the call on new HR platforms (while dealing with issues like online hiring and the gig economy). The Chief Marketing Officer is making the investments in marketing automation and ad tech systems. Meanwhile, the legacy data systems that are being retained still eat up something like 80% of the tech budget, yet remain crucial to the company's success. Despite their lack of sex appeal, these ERP systems are needed to build products, make payroll, invoice, and all the other basics of any company. Without this basic plumbing (and someone to manage it), none of the fancy sci-fi stuff will happen. And what about that scary new world with its digital disruptions and opportunities? Technology and digital demands have moved out of the back office to take over the psyche of the C-suite and the boardroom. Pioneers like Amazon are shaking up everything we know about retail by erasing the friction, distance and costs of commerce in sector after sector ' and every intelligent business leader today knows their sector is next. Whether your business model is B-to-C or B-to-B, rapid, digital upheavals like big data, mobile commerce, cloud computing, AI and machine learning are now business realities. Whether it's creating a seamless online buying experience, targeting your most profitable customers with artificial intelligence and deep learning insights, or running reverse auction sourcing on the web...it makes no difference. Major companies are realizing that technology is no longer just a back-office cost center ' it will either transform you, or leave you behind. To survive in the new business era, the company needs a digital transformation leader. The responsibility of incorporating macro tech trends into company strategy is a role that must be elevated to the highest level of the C-suite. Changing the title and duties of your CIO to Chief Digital Officer may not be enough. A dedicated, planned chief digital role should bring leadership to all of the company's technical and transformative opportunities, serving as a visionary, trendsetter, production and 'tech consigliere' to the CEO and the leadership team. I see this evolution at work at companies on whose boards I serve. At Schneider Electric, our CIO stepped up to become our effective new Chief Digital Transformation Officer. At Volvo, our CIO reports to the new CDO position. My other boards are likewise closely involved in seeking out the digital leadership we know will be needed. As this suggests, addressing these digital leadership concerns is a boardroom matter. What can your board do to oversee digital transformation? As directors, we should lead the strategic discussion on digital transformation, and support new company structures, budget and talent that embrace emerging technology change. Here are some ideas: Keep abreast of macro tech trends. Support management research on innovative digital business models and ecosystems, like the marketplace model. For example, should you partner with Amazon and Alibaba or stick with current stocking distributors? Forward-looking boards are creating tech committees to keep track of these trends, incorporate technologies and measure success. Ask provocative questions. Ask how the company is looking at digital transformation. How does the CIO fit in with coming needs, and what are their objectives? Does the current reporting structure enable success? What are we doing to enhance the brand and make our business model more contemporary and effective? How are tech spending budgets reflecting your priorities? Make sure management is measuring digital success. Metrics like the net promoter score, Klout influencer score, social sentiment score and conversion of leads can help measure the success of your digital transformation model. Make sure your management team is using such quantitative measurements, analyzing data, and gleaning insights in an effective way. Request that they present this annually at your strategy offsite meeting. Do management rewards, incentives and promotions push toward innovation ' or playing it safe? Ultimately, your company's technology oversight structure reflects how it values that technology. Make sure that this structure is a business enabler, not just a cost center. In today's environment, all organizations need a tech leader who embraces tech trends and actively integrates them into the company's strategy. Betsy Atkins is a former three-time CEO and has served on some of the world's most visible global public company boards.

If you go with an Lt style engine you can change the cam on the fuel pump to increase the flow and pressure. I've talked to a couple guys that are making decent power out of the LT you basically get to a point where you convert to port injection while in boost. Even with larger cam and lt4 pump (supercharged engine di pump) unfortunately there's no good way to keep DI and run a 4l80e trans or really a manual 4 speed for that matter but I'll cross that road later. im still way up in the air on what engine it's gunna have but as you seen I have ALOT of work between now and then. What are you going to use for a radiator? And when are you going to get back on that wagon!!!!!!!!! Looks like it was a cool event. It's nice to see a variety of different engine swaps.

Talk:Cult of Baltar/Archive 1 < Talk:Cult of Baltar Has the Cult of Baltar taken over duties as a policing force? does this relate to the Arrangement that Baltar and Adama came to at the end of - I think it was No Exit? There is a cult member in the daycare when Boomer takes Hera and drugs her in "Someone to watch over me." -- Furyofaseraph 20:41, 1 March 2009 (UTC) Is it just me that think Gaius's Angels sounds silly? Baltar's Angels sounds much better --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 14:26, 14 May 2007 (CDT) Well, it may be less confusing to TOS Baltar searches, but as its a riff on the US TV show "Charlie's Angels", there you go. --Spencerian 14:28, 14 May 2007 (CDT) I think that association veers close to "silly" territory. At first I thought this was a joke. If a more serious term is desired, maybe "Baltar's rescuers"? Helpers? Saviors? (too religious maybe) --Serenity 15:50, 14 May 2007 (CDT) What article even points to this? The fact that it is currently an orphan is tantamount to painting a laser on it (for a laser-guided delete). --Steelviper 15:54, 14 May 2007 (CDT) I was rather debating on whether or not to throw the {{sillypage}} tag onto it. Having said this, I think the article is important enough to exist, particularly in light of seeing that these women are rabid Baltar fans who believe him to be some sort of messiah. (Remember that the young woman goes to Baltar's cell and asks to bless her ill child.) -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 16:11, 14 May 2007 (CDT) Yeah, it definitely does have relevance to the show, but I'd prefer a more serious title, as the content isn't silly. --Serenity 06:49, 15 May 2007 (CDT) Article is no longer orphaned. I'm sure we'll get a canonical name of some sort in the new season, either a name they use to refer to themselves, or how the Fleet leadership refers to them. JubalHarshaw 09:28, 15 May 2007 (CDT) I've removed the "Silly", as to me "Silly" generally implies it is not necessarily canon. Also it's not funny. I expect the "Church of Baltar" will be a significant part of season 4. OTW 17:00, 28 May 2007 (CDT) You've got that right. LOL -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 05:00, 4 April 2008 (UTC) 1 Bets on Gaius' New Life 2 This cult... 3 The Symbol 4 Descriptive term? Bets on Gaius' New Life Gigolo to women who like men from Caprica who can "talk nerdy" to them. Pharmaceutical expert for designing new contraceptive drugs. Pharmaceutical expert for designing new contraceptive drugs, which he will then test as a gigolo. --Spencerian 14:27, 14 May 2007 (CDT) This cult... They are totally nutz Shane (talk) 17:49, 4 April 2008 (UTC) In future episodes, I'm expecting Charles Manson Baltar to decrypt "Helter Skelter" and other Beatles music... -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 18:44, 4 April 2008 (UTC) The Symbol Does anyone else think the cult's symbol looks like a modified version of the Aries astrological symbol? I just kind of assumed it was sort of expanding the general early Christianity allusions that pervade the cult, by taking a symbol of their oppression (not that Aries and Ares are the same, but using something maybe associated with the Sons of Ares like early Christians adopted the cross) and subverting it as a symbol of solidarity. Probably going out on a limb there, but I see a ram in that symbol. alpha5099 21:37, 13 March 2009 (UTC) Descriptive term? As there is a song on the Season 4 soundtrack called "The Cult of Baltar", is this really just a BSG wiki descriptive term anymore, or can it be considered official? JubalHarshaw 19:18, 23 July 2009 (UTC) A good question. On the other hand, the BSG 3 soundtrack uses "All Along the Watchtower" and not our descriptive term (given that no one ever names "The Music"). I'd keep it as a descriptive term but note McCreary's use of it (and maybe note Roslin's name for it when calling out Tory Foster's behavior). --Spencerian 22:47, 23 July 2009 (UTC) Retrieved from "https://en.battlestarwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:Cult_of_Baltar/Archive_1&oldid=181360" All text content is available under Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0.

Part 3 – The Disc Dive explores the discography of KISS with Ace Frehley Posted by Ramon Gonzales in Series on September 29, 2020 The guitarist revisits albums like Love Gun, Alive II, his solo debut, and Dynasty before beginning the 80's era with Unmasked and The Elder. Continuing the dissection of KISS discography, Ryan Downey and Ace Frehley begin the third segment of the ongoing Disc Dive with yet another milestone in the band's catalog with Love Gun. The record holds particular significance with Frehley because it features the track, "Shock Me," which was the guitarist's vocal debut. Frehley discussed how the catalyst for the song was a scary accident in Lakeland, Florida, where Ace was electrocuted onstage. The track also features his legendary guitar solo, which is widely-regarded as one of the best in rock music history. In fact, it's ranked #50 in Guitar World magazine's "100 Greatest Guitar Solos Ever". KISS would revisit the magic of their live record Alive with a sequel in Alive II. Having released Destroyer, Rock and Roll Over, and Love Gun since the last live record, it was certainly time for another concert experience to be recorded. Frehley attributed to the quality of the album to producer Eddie Kramer as he discussed overdub techniques and different audience sounds that were all layered to create such a rich audio experience. In 1978, Ace would make his debut as a solo artist. The self-titled release would also begin a lifelong friendship between Ace and a then emerging talent in drummer Anton Fig. In the years since, the two have recorded together consistently, both in Frehley's solo work and with KISS. Fig would go on to be the number two to Paul Schafer and The World's Most Dangerous Band – the house band for late night talk show host, David Letterman. KISS would close out their prolific 70's run with their seventh studio record in Dynasty. The opening track, "I Was made for Lovin' You," saw the band embracing the popular disco sound of the era. While the track wasn't indicative of the band's identity as rock artists, the song was an immediate hit and has since become one of the pillars of the KISS catalog. Additionally, Frehley would make his mark on the Dynasty record by stepping into the spotlight as the lead vocalist for three of the album's tracks, including "Hard Times," "Save Your Love," and The Rolling Stones' cover, "2,000 Man." Frehley would attribute the strength and success of his solo record with giving him added confidence prior to beginning work on the Dynasty record. The 1980's began for KISS by emerging without the make-up as the Unmasked record ushered in a new era for the band. For Frehley, his stamp on the record is found in tracks like, "Torpedo Girl," "Two Sides of the Coin," and "Talk To Me." Frehley recalled how at that time he began to really become particular about how he wanted his songs to sound and how it might have caused a rift between his bandmates. Closing out the segment, Frehley and Downey would examine the 1981 release, Music from 'The Elder' which fell notoriously short of earning any commercial or critical success. Explaining that The Elder was more of a concept album than a proper KISS record, Frehley would attribute the shortcomings of the record more to timing than the quality of the songs. Ace was vocal about how he didn't feel the album was the best route for KiSS and history would suggest, Ace had some foresight. Watch part 3 of the ongoing discussion of the entire KISS discography with Ryan J. Downey and Ace Frehley on the Disc Dive.

Justice and Legal Affairs Minister Patrick Chinamasa says Zimbabwe is currently working on a programme to ensure that child offenders under the age of 18 are not exposed to the same criminal procedures as adults. Speaking on the recent United Nations Human Rights Council held recently in Geneva, Switzerland, Minister Chinamasa said Zimbabwe rejected the suggestion by member states to strengthen punishment among child offenders saying the country already has some mechanisms in place to deal with child offenders. The programme, which is being implemented on a trial basis in Gweru, Bulawayo and Harare, is aimed at ensuring that justice is delivered while at the same time safeguarding the future prospects of the minor in terms of employment and professional development. The United Nations Human Rights Council at its previous sitting in October last year made recommendations that Zimbabwe implement some 177 suggestions. Out of the 177, Zimbabwe agreed to adopt 130 recommendations, put others under consideration and rejected some. Among those rejected was the issue of homosexuality and the Rome Statutes for the creation of the International Criminal Court which Zimbabwe says is being used to punish leaders from developing countries.

Industrial and commercial vehicles need to be sturdy to get their jobs done safely and effectively. That's why plastic for industrial transportation has become more popular than glass and metal when constructing everything from forklifts to semi trucks. Find out some of the ways it holds up in the face of tough jobs and harsh environments. Which Plastics Qualify As Industrial Vehicle Plastic? Industrial transportation plastic and commercial vehicle plastic are often made from plastics that are easy to thermoform, such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The ability to thermoform plastics is advantageous because industrial and commercial vehicles often have large enclosures and housings that would be difficult to make with metal or glass. Acrylic and polycarbonate are also frequently used as commercial transportation plastic solutions. Since they have such a high strength to weight ratio, they're effective in window and windshield glazing applications. What Makes Plastic For Commercial Vehicles The Best Choice? Plastics are tough. They can stand up to a variety of forces, whether it's an impact, chemicals or harsh weather. And they do it all while looking great. Let's explore some of industrial vehicle plastic's other perks. On top of making it easy to form large parts for industrial and commercial vehicles, thermoforming has other benefits as well. Thermoformed plastics can withstand exposure to wide range of temperatures while remaining impact-resistant regardless if they're extremely hot or cold. Thermoformed plastic for commercial vehicles also makes production more efficient and cost-effective. Commercial and industrial vehicles frequently have to contend with harsh outdoor conditions. Rain, snow and deicing chemicals can eat away at metal and cause it to rust over time, but plastic is resistant to all of these elements. Industrial vehicle plastic will not rust, rot or delaminate due to weather or chemical exposure, ensuring that it looks great and lasts a long time. Glazing is often used for security purposes, with single or multiple layers of plastic laminate coating glass to make it harder to break. It's also a useful application for commercial vehicles like semi trucks and buses to help make windows sturdier. Commercial vehicle plastic glazing is a great way to protect a vehicle and its passengers from harm should an accident occur. Plastic is used for the interiors of buses and trains because it's easy to form into any shape and it can be made in any color. Whether it's a luggage bin, a meal tray or plastic flooring, manufacturers can create a comfortable, pleasant interior for commercial vehicles with plastic. As an added bonus, plastic flooring and paneling provides acoustic insulation, which helps block out street and engine noise. On top of looking pretty, using plastic for commercial transportation makes vehicles lighter, which improves fuel economy. For example, polycarbonate and acrylic, which can both be used for window glazing, are half the weight of glass with 30 times the impact strength. Plastic makes it easy to maintain, and even improves the security of industrial and commercial vehicles while reducing their environmental impact. It can be thermoformed into a variety of large shapes. The process of thermoforming also makes plastic more resistant to extreme temperatures. It will not rot, rust or delaminate after extended exposure to chemicals or the elements like metal or wood can. Glazing can help prevent windows and windshields from shattering due to impact.

LSU Health Science Center is a research institution. Researchers are constantly moving in and out of our institution. Typically, assuming a federal grant, the equipment purchased for this grant with grant funds should be transferred to the new institution when a researcher moves. NO MONETARY EXCHANGE WILL TAKE PLACE FOR THIS TRANSACTION. Federal law states that equipment purchased with federal funds cannot be "purchased" again (if a researcher changes institutions) in order to avoid "double-dipping". Typically, the asset transfer should be recorded by the property management departments in both institutions via journal entries. If a researcher wants to take equipment purchased with non-grant funds (typically state monies), the transaction will be handled per the procedures and regulations of the States involved. Please read below for further guidance in procuring used equipment. Purchasing used equipment requires more documentation. The department must justify the purchase by outlining the savings that will be realized by purchasing used vs. new. Also, a plan for maintaining the equipment must be formulated and included in the request to purchase. Purchasing the used equipment does not necessarily preclude the competitive process. Unless there is a time limit associated with the purchase of the equipment, the normal bid process would need to be followed (typically done by putting out an RFQ with specifications for new and used equipment and giving the vendors the option to bid new or used). For time sensitive offerings, RS 36:1645 states that if "following the procedures set out in the Louisiana Procurement Code will result in the loss of the opportunity to purchase the equipment", the purchase can be made without competition.

Earlier this month, we were in Melbourne for Denfair 2017, a three-day design event. Denfair brings together the best brands in the industry to showcase their work and to connect with an audience passionate about beautiful, well-made Australian design. We are based in Sydney's inner west and have been developing strong relationships with our local community for nearly 7 years. This month we travelled to Denfair to introduce ourselves to Melbourne, to stick our toes in the water of an incredible city renown for its cute cafes, laneway culture and designer eye. Alongside our excitement to meet fellow creatives and see what the design world was up to, we were thrilled to launch our newest additions to our Staple&Co range; the Tatami sofa designed by Tom Fereday, the Cargo Chair and the Cleveland tables designed by Other Works and our new cushion collection West. The day of bump-in was full of anticipation. With red lanyards around our neck and coffee in our veins we unwrapped, placed and replaced our furniture, wiping, dusting and fluffing to make it all look perfect from off the truck. The whole exhibition centre was buzzing with movement, forklifts moving boxes, people pacing on the phone, box cutters sliding through tape, removing wrapping and pushing plastic into boxes, the sound of hammers and drills filling the air, everything a blur of high vis vests and sneakers squeaking on the concrete. Denfair started with a bang, the first day by far our busiest one. At this point only open to trade, we saw lots of familiar faces down from Sydney – interior designers, architects and stylists that we have been working with for years. We had a chance to finally meet some of our Melbourne and Brisbane clients who we only knew by their voice on the phone, and of course, got to know the local designers who have never heard of us. Our Louis sofa was sitting proudly on our stand in a buttery tan leather and dramatic 2400mm length. Louis is often the star of the show in our showroom, and it seemed that Denfair was no exception. Designers of the Louis - Chris and Megan of cm studio also dropped by to say hello to the team (and of course to Louis too). This year, our stand was all about earthy tones and texture. Tan leather, olive felt, navy boucle wool, sage nubuck, misty cotton blends. The Tatami sofa received lots of squeezes on its curved arm, the Charlie armchair in a poodle-like fabric was the cosiest spot on the stand, the nubuck on the Cargo was hard to stop running your hand over. There was incredible variety on show at Denfair. We were stunned by the subtle, minimalistic beauty of the neighbouring Volker Haug stand. Their use of ribbed acetate for the shell and simple striking lighting was poetic and memorable. We also loved the stand by Mud Australia. The soft pastel pink and blue ceramics were expertly positioned on plinths, and the arrangement of plates in a fishscale pattern was whimsical and a gentle moment in the busy hall. In it's third year, Denfair was bigger than ever. With a reported 9000 people through the show. It was fantastic to engage with an audience who, like us, truly value Australian made and want to support local design. The whole fair had a distinct air of positivity about Australian design, what is happening now and what is happening next. See you next time, Denfair!

There are many students of art throughout the school; writers, painters, photographers, costume designers, and songwriters are among the many art students here at school. One art student in particular, Rachel Kelley, is known for her fantastic artworks at school. Rachel Kelley is a senior here at BCHS, and she has been drawing for a long time. She's always drawn in some aspect, but she has been drawing seriously for six years. "My inspiration was different animation works from Disney, Dreamworks, and Nickelodeon. I wouldn't just watch the characters move around, I'd see what they wore and said, how they acted and moved, the world they were in and their place in that world," she described when asked about her inspiration. "Art was something I had complete control over. I could do whatever I wanted and it wouldn't be wrong. I was free to do what I wanted." She has been influenced by shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender. For Rachel, drawing has helped her grow and develop into the person she is today. It allowed her to discover herself and get through the trauma she faced throughout her life, and she continues to grow as a person today. If you need an art mentor or just someone to talk to, Rachel is the person you need to see.

The trail and the Backdrop! Gosaikunda or Gosainkunda or गोसाइँकुण्ड is an alpine freshwater sacred lake located in the Langtang region of Rasuwa district, inside the Langtang National Park, at an altitude of ~4380m. It's one of the popular places for high altitude trekkers as well as divine and religious destination for Hindu pilgrims. The area consist of many (believed that there are 108 lakes of different sizes) holy lakes. It is thought that the holy water of Gosainkunda washes off the sins ;). Surrounded by high mountains on the north and east, this lake is grand and picturesque. Every year during one of the Hindu festivals - Janai Purnima in August, thousands of pilgrims visit the lake. Visitors get wonderful reflection of surrounding hills in very clear water of Gosainkunda lake during the summer season where water is iced during the winter. People trek to this amazing place to fulfill their cultural as well as natural hunger as the trail passes through different landscapes - subtropical to alpine environment, terraced fields, waterfalls, streams, hills and the most importantly super scenic majestic mountains. Hindu mythology attributes Gosaikunda as the home of the Hindu deities Shiva and Parvati. It is believed to have been created by Lord Shiva when he thrust his Trishul (holy Trident) into a mountain to extract water so that he could cool his stinging throat after he had swallowed poison that was generated after Samudramanthan and saved the world from possible destruction. You can start the trek to Gosaikunda from the place of your choice - Dhunche or Syabru Beshi or Thulo Syabru or Sundarijal. The latter option takes more days to reach the lake, I had trekked to Gosainkunda from Sundarijal in mid 2007 . Most people prefer Dhunche or Syabru option from where one can reach Gosainkunda in second day of the trip. With private vehicle you can reach Dhunche via Galchhi (Dhading) or Tokha (Kathmandu) as the road via Kakani is closed for maintenance purpose. If you choose Dhunche option, you have to follow multiple highways : ~46 KM of Prithvi Highway (Kathmandu to Galchhi), ~26 KM of Galchhi - Trishuli Road (Galchhi to Nuwakot) and ~54 KM of Trishuli Highway (Nuwakot to Dhunche). If you opted to travel via Tokha road, you have to drive through ~70 KM of rough road inside Shivapuri National Park for some distance then passing Chhahare until Battar, where you reach Trishuli Highway to Dhunche. Syabru Beshi is ~18 KM far from Dhunche (Pasang-Lahmu Highway). From Syabru Beshi you need to trek through Thulo Syabru - Mul Kharka - Cholang Pati - Lauribina - Buddha Mandir to reach Gosainkunda or directly to Foprang Danda - Buddha Mandir then Gosainkunda. You can also skip the trekking trail from Syabru Beshi to Thulo Syabru by directly following the road to Thulo Syabru, which goes via Thulo Bharkhu and Brabal leaving the Trishuli Highway and follow the above mentioned trek route. The road to Thulo Syabru is still under construction, so not yet opened for public vehicles but you can drive private vehicle. Road condition is good. Somebody said somewhere "Don't think too much, just do what makes you happy" and we did the same - Peace, Freedom and Happiness were what motivated us for this trek. Here, 'we' is referring to three guys whose desire was to get rid of the 'Dustmandu' and spend few days in the lap of Himalayas - Sunil, Prachesh Dai ;) and myself. Before a day, bike was serviced, bag was ready, camera was charged and most importantly mind was already starting to feel the thrill. All required things were set and we were ready to move early next morning. We got wake up call from Prachesh at 6:00. That didn't matter most as we were already up. He said to get to our place (Lokanthali) from Pepsicola within 30 minutes. After being fresh, we dressed up and checked for any forgotten stuffs and I went to receive Prachesh in Lokanthali Chwok as he was waiting there. We got back to room at around 6:45. We left Lokanthali at 7:00, I was pillion rider to Sunil's bike and Prachesh was riding alone. The plan for that day was to have bike ride till Dhunche following 'Tokha - Chhahare - Battar' road then start the trek and reach Singh-Gumba (Chandanbari - a place popular for Cheese factory has a very famous monastery) till the evening. As we crossed Koteshwor, Sunil realized that the 'Bill Book' was on another Jacket and we had to return to get it. In no time, he turned the bike towards the room, reached there, took the missed small book and we were immediately back on track. Prachesh was waiting in Anamnagar. It didn't take much time for us to reach there as early morning traffic of the capital was low. We continued the ride till Goma Ganesh Petrol Pump passing Gairidhara, fueled our bikes as well as had light breakfast in nearby cafe. From there we continued the ride through Maharajgunj, Dhapasi then followed the Tokha road passing Tokha bazaar. Rough and bumpy road inside the city was making the ride torturous. The condition of roads after leaving Tokha bazaar was even worse. Our ride passed through the dusty countryside road and if any bigger vehicle overtook, we won't get any option rather than wait on the roadside for the dust to settle. I can't even imagine what will happen if it rains. After crossing that dusty road, we entered to the Shivapuri National Park through the Army Check Point (luckily we were not stopped for any park formalities), from there the road was paved one for some time. We got out from the city chaos, the air cleared up and beautiful nature was ruling the area. We followed nice uphill road till some unknown point inside the National Park from where we had the awesome view of 'Ganesh Himal Range'. We started descending on the bumpy and winding way up to Chhahare, Nuwakot. We stopped there and had black-eyed peas with black-tea. We still had to travel for at least an hour to meet the Trishuli Highway in Battar that leads to Dhunche through Bidur, district headquarter of Nuwakot. Playing favorite songs with full sound on JBL Clip hanging on the bag, the bike's acceleration was stopped only after reaching Battar. We felt some relief as the highway for some time to come was nice one. We followed the upward highway from Bidur and went pass the places such as Betrawati and Kalikasthan. There was a security check point after crossing Kalikasthan and the process didn't take much for motorbike. Police officers said that the road condition from there till Dhunche is the craziest one and need to drive very carefully. It was more crazy then told, we realized. Varieties of road condition in various sections, you need to keep all your concentration on the road. After crossing some portion of adventurous road we stopped in Ramche for some rest as extreme section was yet to come; beside the crazy road the view of rivers, forest, terraced fields and mountains (some parts of Ganesh and Langtang Lirung mountain range) were awesome. The narrow and winding single-lane road in the landslide area with few passing zone is real challenge for big vehicles. While looking up from the road it feels like the hanging rocks can get down at any time. Even small rainfall or snowfall was enough to obstruct the road section, stranding the passengers. We were happy that both were not in weather prediction for few days. We crossed that road clinging to the edge of a steep mountain very carefully. During the crossing we passed through local places such as Grang, Thade etc. and reached the Army check point from where Dhunche was just a KM far. Completing the security check we continued the bike ride in much easier track, shortly we reached Dhunche - the headquarter of Rasuwa and now developing as a gateway to China. We were tired as hell after fun mixed adventure, body parts were aching but that didn't change that day's plan. It was 13:00 O'clock and we were still to have lunch. We went on the nearby Hotel and had some rest before being fresh. We washed the dust with ice cool water and had awesome lunch. As our bike ride was till Dhunche, we parked the bikes in the backyard of the hotel and be ready for the first day of the trek. We were to begin the trek from the altitude about 1950m and will be reaching ~3300m by the evening. It was pretty challenging but we need to do it at any cost. We booked a room for three of us in 'Hotel Yak & Nak, Singh Gumba' and started walking through the city until the roadside sign showing the direction to Gosainkunda, then we followed the easy and motor-able trail for about 20 minutes passing a mineral water factory. After a while we left the wider road and followed the narrower downhill path until a suspension bridge over Trishuli Khola, which originated from the same place where we were heading. Few minutes after crossing the bridge we reached Ghattekhola - it was so easy trail till. And from that point onward it was steep jungle trail and the board suggested it will take 2 hours to reach Deurali. The trail continuously went up through the dense forest of Langtang National Park. Sound of flowing river, chirping birds and barking deers were beautifully adding music to the silent jungle song and beside that, the JBL Clip was acting wonderfully. We enjoyed trekking through lush green forest but we didn't get chance to see any of the wildlife except few birds. Red Pandas also inhabit this forest but I never had any hope to see those though. In an hour or so we reached a tea-house, which was not open. As we were still feeling like jumping on a bike, we preferred to rest on the outside chairs for a while. After short rest we continued the upward trail till Deurali. It took little more than an hour and sun was painting the western horizon as the clock ticked 17:30. We had WaiWai noodles and warm water separately so that stomach will mix it to its own taste... HaHa ;). We spent 30-45 minutes in Deurali and was almost dark when we left. The trail from Deurali to Dhimsa was more steep than the trail we just came through. It was pitch dark inside the mid jungle, which was no more silent - various sounds from barking deers to night insects and flow of Trishuli Khola far below were hitting our ears. Along with all those, music never left us. Thankfully no one among us remembered the Ghost of MaHa Tele Serial when the song 'Ghans Katne Khurkera ...' was being played; I later remembered it only after watching the video. We only had single head lamp so walking in the pitch dark became more challenging. Conquering the fear and walking continuously in tough trail we reach Dimsa in 19:35 and had few minutes of rest. As per the commitment with ourselves, we began final and comparatively easier trail in the thick forest to Chandanbari. Locals in the nearby hotel said its about 30 minutes far and that was some sense of relief. It was dark all around but view of sky was more than brilliant. Twinkling stars far above made us realize how spectacular and magnificent the universe is. After relaxing walk, clock was ticking 20:20 when we reached 'The Yak & Nak Hotel, Chandanbari'. We unloaded our bags in the dining hall before taking them to room. After being fresh we had black coffee and waited for the dinner (Dal, Bhat, Tarkari, Achar) to get ready. Immediately after nice dinner we were in the bed imagining more awesome tomorrow. Starting from the headquarter, the first day involved long, steady and merciless climb as we were halfway to Gosainkunda. We woke up at around 6:00 and became fresh. As the water in the bucket was freezing cold we asked for some warm water to wash our faces. Sunrise rays were hitting the hills around but mountains were not visible from the hotel area. We had black coffee in a big cup but local breads were not ready so rather than waiting for it we decided to move towards Cholangpati thinking of having breakfast there. It was 7:00 O'clock. The jungle trail was relatively flat except for few places. It was easy start of the trek inside dense forest. Majestic mountains were playing hide and seek with the trees. We kept on climbing and traversing through the forest. Meanwhile we heard the sound of Helicopter flying en route towards Gosainkunda as some travel companies were advertising Heli-Tour to the sacred lake few days back and we guessed of getting the chopper sound for whole day. The upward trail inside the forest was covered with snow, which was not fresh so making the way little slippery. As we gradually climbed for 25-30 minutes and reached the flat way, Langtang Lirung welcomed us. It looked like posing for the photograph so I fulfilled its wishes - from closeup to scenic landscape. Immediately after, we reached Cholangpati, clock ticked 9:00. We stayed in the first hotel, ordered noodles soup, some boiled potatoes and tea, It was the fixed menu by the way. As the order took more time than expected we spent it by playing with camera and surrounding beauty. After 30-35 minutes we had the ordered stuffs, potato was not in good condition but getting things to eat in the high hill was important than its taste. As it was already 10:15, we started going up the hill to Lauribina. The trail was steep and few portions were covered with slippery snow. It was getting windy too. As we were gaining the altitude, mountains became more and more beautiful - from Manaslu in far to near and dear Ganesh Himal and Langtang range - I thought this trail gonna take much time to cross ;) not because that was steep but because I need to capture whatever I see as making the camera happy was also the part of the trek. If you want to capture Himalayan range, don't say later as you don't know when the floating clouds will come to cover them. The landscape with mountains soaring into the blue sky was simply spectacular. Following the trail with such beauty in the backdrop and mesmerizing ourselves we reached Lauribina at 11:45. The climb was nice and the surroundings became more picturesque from an altitude of ~3900 m. Laurebina provides sunset and sunrise views of the Langtang and Ganesh Himal, don't miss if time favors you. After very short rest we continued to walk steep hill towards Buddha Mandir. Mountains and even the hills around were looking amazing. There were not much snow on the trail but road sides and hills were white. We kept on climbing for little more than an hour and hit Buddha Mandir at an altitude of ~4200m. The statue of Buddha was intact but the surrounding structures were almost down to zero due to '2015 earthquake'. This is the best station to admire the charming view of Langtang and Ganesh Himalayan ranges. From that height, lands and mountain ranges of Tibet, China were also visible to some extend. The speed of wind was increased as well as the number of Helicopter flights. We stopped there for a while, fueled ourselves with chocolates watching the panoramic Mountain view - thanks to the cloud, which was still nowhere in the scene. Okay! we were almost in the holy place in the beautiful day of Shivaratri. We went through the side of the ridge overlooking the Trishuli Khola and the trail became much narrower than it has been up to but was easy. The hill was full of BIG stones and sometimes need to pass through the natural gate of stones ;). After walking for around 15 minutes we saw a small and half frozen lake and map suggested it as Saraswari Kunda. We continued the trail for another 15 minutes and got the glimpse of big frozen lake - the Bhairabhkunda. The main point was yet come on the scene, we kept on ascending the gradual upward path and in 10 minutes or so we got the awesome view of the FROZEN Gosaikunda, clock ticked 14:30. It was a "I want to trek to every hills of the world and never look back" kind of day. We spent one and half hours traveling around, walked and jumped over the iced lake and kept our cameras busy (Sorry God Shiva for our steps over you). We were feeling lucky and happy to be in the sacred place of Shiva on Shivaratri - the celebration day when Shiva saved the world by drinking the poison emerged from the ocean, which was capable of destroying the entire world. Helicopters were still busy carrying the pilgrimages that continued till 16:00. After capturing the beauty in our mind we started descending through the same trail at around 16:00. We followed the same route till Cholangpati. We kept on walking down to Buddha Mandir. It was extremely windy as well as cold. Thankfully there were no dust to blow, otherwise it would have been Kathmandu. After having short photo session with the wind and mountains ;), we continued our steps down to Lauribina. As we skipped lunch for that day, our plan was to fuel ourselves with whatever available there. Luckily, we had local bread (lets say it - Lauribina Bread), hot and sour potato curry and black coffee. In the meantime, sun was painting the western sky as well as northern mountains. After the food break we moved towards Cholangpati, it was almost dark and we reached there at around 25-30 minutes. Without any delay, we took the downhill and snowy track to Mulkharka in the pitch dark inside rhododendron forest. We had no idea how long will it take to reach there. With only one small headlamp, and no spare batteries we continued to walk in the slippery dark trail. Cell phones were also almost dead so no chance of lighting their flash too. We were barely seeing the trail. In places, the route was too slippery as hell. Mind started feeling some tension but we had no choice except going down anyhow. Similar kind of trail continued for long time. After nearly an hour or so we saw few dim lights around the hills but no idea where were that. We continued the trail following the horse's toe and compass app in mobile. Following the path to Mul Kharka that combines two local words, 'Mul' meaning main and 'Kharka' meaning a pasture, we were searching for the similar landscape as the name suggests but not able to see anything like that. The route continued through forest of oak and rhododendron. After some time, a small pasture like area came to scene with a destroyed house like structure on the side but to our dismay no human settlements were found in the area. We kept on descending, some time via nice flat route, sometime snowy slippery downward and sometimes muddy track as well. Clock was ticking 21:00 and we were still in confusion on 'where the hell are we in?' In the meantime, we heard some barking dogs and had funny thought that the villagers may knew some crazy people are trekking in the jungle. Trekkers normally say 'Getting down is easy part' but the same thing was becoming hard for us. We were happy with the adventure and at the same time wishing for no wildlife movement around us :P. After 10-15 minutes we saw prayer flags and large open space that matches with the definition of 'Kharka'. We went near to it and saw an area with wooden bar and wooden door tied with some clothes. Wow! it was the hotel we were looking for - 'Laligurans Guest House, Mu-Kharka.' As the person from the hotel heard our voice he showed a flash light, asked about us and told to get inside opening the wooden door. We followed as he said - It was 21:30. The hotel was almost closed but we requested to prepare rice and curry. Thankfully they followed the village principle - Guests are God. We waited till the dinner to become ready, drinking hot water as it was freezing. After around 35-40 minutes we had dinner that was far better than our situation few hours back, then we went to bed hoping for some good sleep. We will be going to Thulo Syabru from there tomorrow morning. Despite of wild and tired last day, I woke up at around 6:30. I was surprised to get the awesome view of Ganesh and Langtang Himalayan range from the window creating perfect first scene for the music video of the song 'Bihana Uthne Bittikai... Himal Dekhna Payiyos... '. I immediately grabbed my camera and went outside, it was freezing. After few shots I get back to the room, changed the dress and went outside again. Sun was about to get out from the hill as rays spread over the sky making the surrounding Himalayan range more awesome. After spending 10-15 minutes alone, I called friends too. As sun got out, the freezing village started getting some life. We were yet to wash our faces, which was difficult to do with cold water. So we asked for a bowl of warm water and ordered 3 black coffees. After being fresh, we sipped the coffee, packed up the bags and ready to move in the easy trail to Thulo Syabru. The trails from Mulkharka to Thulo Sybru was towards down. We had gentle walk inside the forest where group of Langur Monkeys were playing in the big trees, in some places we crossed small pastures. With the fun, we once missed the main trail and kept on walking in the narrow trail inside the jungle that luckily later joined the missed route. There were thick dust in some portion of the trail. Despite there were no one on the route except us, I rushed to be in front of two friends and as I walked, the dust got spread around the trail, in the shoes and in the lower section of trousers ;). During the walk we crossed few places with human settlements such as Dursa, Garta village etc., where the trails were stone paved. As we got down, the snow capped mountains started fading and Thulo Syabru came to the scene. Rhododendron trees full of flowers welcomed us in different sections and it was ~10:30 when we reached Thulo Syabru. The descent was real fun. We had delicious lunch in nearby hotel before following the wider trail to Dhunche. Thulo Syabru - Dhunche road was not yet opened for public vehicle as it was still under construction in few sections. During dinner, the hotel owner uncle told us that there is a blue truck that could take us till almost half way to Dhunche but as soon as we got out of the dining hall it moved and never stopped - that means we had no options left except walking almost 20 KM to reach Dhunche. Without worrying much we begin final trek in the wide, dusty and winding road, which went up for around 20-25 minutes then started descending. Rhododendron flowers were the major attraction of the trail as it was making whole forest beautiful. We took the shortcut whenever possible. We had tea in roadside tea-house after reaching Brabal. It was kind of boring as nothing exciting things around - we were down to ~2200m so no glimpse of mountains too. Few KM after crossing Brabal we completely left the motor road and took the short way to Sano Bharkhu. Continuously following the similar track, we stopped after reaching Thulo Bharkhu, where we met the highway that leads to Rashuwagadhi and China. After having 200ml mango juice we waited in the road side to jump in whatever vehicle that comes. After around 10 minutes two containers came and we climbed in the second one that came from Kerung with more than 13 tons of Apple. Dhunche was about 5 KM far. Even that short ride was adventurous enough due to narrow and winding road in the edge of hill, we reached Dhunche after about 15 minutes. We directly went to the same hotel where we had lunch before starting the trek as our bikes were also parked there, rested for some moments, washed our faces, had some food and be ready to move to the capital. Clock was already ticking 16:00 and we at least needed 5 hours to reach Kathmandu. We crossed the nearby Army Check Point after around 10 minutes and continued to the extreme road crossing Ramche, Grang, Thade etc. We reached Kalikasthan safely from where the road condition was comparatively good. It was almost dark. Our ride continued passing Laharepauwa, Betrabati, Bidur then Battar of Trishuli Highway, we had brief chocolate break. As our plan was to reach Kathmandu through Galchhi-Naubise - Thankot then Kathmandu so we turned right after reaching Pipaltar of Nuwakot as the roadside board suggested, which is few KM from Battar. The way till Galchhi was completely with the Trishuli river. We reached there at around 19:45 and without much delay we continued following Prithivi Highway with Kathmandu still ~45 KM far. Experiencing the damaged trails of Nepalese Highway we reached our place at around 9:30 PM. The highway ride was normal except for Thankot - Kalanki section, which was dustiest and torturous. The trek to Gosainkunda area of the Langtang Region is perfect combination of exotic villages, striking landscape, majestic mountains, sacred lakes and wilderness. It is one of the shortest treks that starts right in the edge of the capital city - Kathmandu. Hey ... So this is just 2 to 3 days trek ?? No guides required ?? Kathmandu(Nepal): A trekker's paradise ! Impromptu visit to Kathmandu, Birthday trip !!

Treatment for liver spots can be administered in different forms depending on one's health or medical conditions. The nature of the patient's health should also determine the most suitable type of treatment for liver spots for them. The conditions to be considered vary from diabetes, cancer, skin sensitivity to allergies, and others. Since each person reacts differently to different products, it is important to know which remedy suites the situation best. Just like any other treatable skin condition one does not have to live with liver spots, also called age spots or sun spots, for the rest of their lives. Many treatments for age spots have been discovered and all one needs to do find out which of them is most suitable to them and applying it. The process of obtaining the required information is currently much simpler due to the presence of the internet which contains loads of information about liver spots and their remedies. Most studies have come up with good materials on the remedies for liver spots. One of these remedies involves the use of laser therapy which destroys melanocytes. Melanocytes are cells producing melanin and with their destruction the brown spots tend to fade over time. This process is less painful even though it takes several months before the results can be seen clearly. Liver spots can also be treated using chemical peel; and this is done applying an acid to the skin to burn out the skin. Since a burnt skin is a dead skin it will lead to peeling off and a new skin if formed in its place. Being dark pigmentation that appears on the inner part of the skin's upper layer, liver spots require a kind of treatment that will penetrate the skin to destroy the pigmentation patches that have formed. Freezing is also a method of treatment for liver spots and it involves application of liquid nitrogen to liver spots to destroy the excess pigmentation. It is however important to note that freezing is done when there are minimal numbers of liver spots on the skin. In case of widespread of liver spots another means of treatment for liver spots should be adopted as the freezing can be quite painful and irritating to the skin during treatment. Treatment for liver spots is considered to be a cosmetic procedure and so some insurance companies may not cover the cost of treatment. It is also wise to carefully select the best method of treatment and also confirm with your doctor before any method is adopted. A doctor advice is always the best as they have the both theoretical and practical knowledge to know what they are talking about.

WIM Fox Valley is pleased to present Jill Card, who will speak about her unexpected path to founding the Jeans and a Cute Top Shop stores, on Thursday, October 13, 2016. An added bonus will be a fashion show highlighting today's sought-after casual fashion trends. The luncheon will be held at the Elgin Country Club, 2575 Weld Road, Elgin with networking at 11:30 a.m., luncheon and program at noon. Meetings adjourn promptly at 1:30 p.m. Cost for members is $22.00 and non members - $25.00. Area women business owners and managers are welcome to attend this month's presentation. Reservations must be made for attendance online through Eventbrite. Card has a B.A. in Advertising and Communications from the University of Illinois – Champaign. She used her marketing and communications skills during her 10 years in the Private Club industry, where she held positions as a Membership Director for the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Club and received extensive sales training from the parent company – Club Corporation of America. After 2 years, she went on to the Mid-Day Club, a member-owned, private Chicago luncheon club. Member recognition and exceptional customer service were always at the forefront as she remained responsible for the club's special events, membership sales, and marketing promotions. She authored the club's 100 year anniversary book, as well. She left the private club industry after 10 years to stay home with her two boys, now 16 and 19. In 2006, on a whim, Card worked for Ann Taylor, a retail women's clothing store in Wheaton Town Square. She grew quickly in the Ann Taylor Corporation and credits her part-time job was a pivotal stepping stone towards becoming an entrepreneur. Jeans and a Cute Top Shop was created to be the kind of shop that Jill had always hoped to find. She loved Ann Taylor's style, but knew that it did not fit the everyday lifestyle of most women she knew, including herself. She spent years in search of the perfect fitting pair of jeans which took her to New York, where she still couldn't find what she was looking for. With the support of her husband, who told her to wear "jeans and a cute top" on their first date, she followed this unexpected path to Jeans and a Cute Top Shop. She now has three Jeans and a Cute Top Shops located in Wheaton, St. Charles, and Downers Grove. Jill works the floor of one of her shops every day, and is committed to her gratifying mission of changing the world for women one great fitting pair of jeans at a time.

I met an athlete, and sport science graduate, i.e. Doctor Sport today, and he introduced me to these shoes, called Altra Running. But before choosing shoes, he suggested me to check my type of foot (like in Singapore), and as expected, mine is not normal, rather flat and wide. Only few kind of shoes will suit me, and this is one kind of it. Impulse is very attractive model, and very comfortable and extremely light to just walk in my case. Altra Running developed by serious runner (family), who can not find any brand to make comfortable shoes for their serious running habit, so I believe it is the best way to follow their root as well, because I found Nike Air Max is not comfortable or even Asics or Mizuno are not my type shoes, not to mention Adidas. I plan to get more very soon, because I am serious walker, and usually need more than pair of shoes per year.

Flu deaths in South Australia rise to 82 By wpadmin | July 8, 2019 Flu-related deaths in South Australia have climbed to 82 as the total number of cases closes in on 20,000. Acting Chief Medical Officer Nicola Spurrier said the majority of deaths had been people aged over 65. At the same time last year, there had only been about 1500 confirmed flu cases. But Dr Spurrier said the strain of flu circulating was no more virulent or deadly, with the large increase in 2019 partly attributed to a significantly early start to the season. She said authorities were happy with the vaccine in use this year, with a big increase in the number of people in SA choosing to be immunised. "The vaccine that was put together was not too bad a match for the strains that are circulating," she told reporters on Monday. "That being said we would always say to people that a flu vaccine is not 100 per cent effective." Dr Spurrier said SA had recently experienced a reduction in the rate of notifications but it was too early to tell if the flu season would wind down early.

Downloadable Books & Videos The managers of Texas Recycles UNF, Tom Dolan and Steve Curtis are mainly environmentalists. We are concerned about pollution of the environment that is detrimental to life on Earth. In this context, we feel it is of primary importance to focus our energy production on clean air. This means nuclear energy must be an indispensable part of the energy mix. This section will provide you with reading material and movies, Videos and other media some free of charge on the topics of Claean Air, Climate Change, and Supporting Clean Carbon Free Nuclear Energy Power. We take no donations from any source to produce and manage our operations. Nobody's Fuel - an engineer's guide to saving the planet A Must see documentary! Many people are embracing nuclear these days. The most striking statement in this movie (and there were many) is the mention of fast breeder reactors. Some of you may not have studied them, but you should. They turn current levels of depleted uranium and used nuclear fuel into energy. 100 times the energy per molecule possible with uranium in light water reactors. This is the essence of recycling used nuclear fuel. There are many ways recycling can be manifest, but fast breeder reactors far exceed any other method in safety, energy potential, compactness, reduction of volume and time of storage for the waste, and safety. You can literally burn waste with no pollution to produce centuries of energy. The deck is stacked against this technology, indeed, against nuclear all together, because fossil fuel lobbying is promoting "renewables" because they know that these technologies will never compete with their business. But nuclear can run them out of business. Remember the De Lorean? This will be the fate of nuclear if we do not push forward. Remember, the first state in the US to agree to take used nuclear fuel for recycle (we recommend fast breeder reactor technology) will leverage the $40 billion nuclear waste fund into a world-dominating business for centuries. Best of all, the used nuclear fuel may end up being treated at the sites in which it resides anyway, so bonus money, and not much UNF to take, so double bonus. Maybe worth a small risk, mostly politically? Well, maybe there will be one smart Governor out there. The next most impressive and important issue that was mentioned was the Low-Dose No Threshold (LNT) restriction to radiation protection. Another monster in the closet which costs the nuclear industry billions of dollars for no better result in safety. This movie was remarkably accurate and presented at the correct level. Some comments on the movie: Chernobyl was NOT an accident. It is incorrect to characterize it as such. Yes, it was an old technology. Yes it was purposely designed without an inner containment structure to save money. However, it was purposely placed into a dangerous configuration by an overbearing Soviet official (at the threat of the technicians' jobs) in Soviet Russia much to the horror of the knowledgeable professionals forced to do what they did. All the safety features of the reactor were defeated purposely. The result was completely engineered and managed by politically-motivated people who knew nothing about what they were doing. Sound familiar in America? So, technology and design did not destroy Chernobyl, corrupt politicians did. Want proof of what I say? 3 other reactors on the same site, designed the same way, ran for 14 more years with absolutely no problems until they were shut down at the end of their useful life. I'll bet you didn't hear that fact talked about much. The disaster in Fukushima was an earthquake an tsunami. Panic killed people, not anything to do with a reactor hydrogen explosion and core melt-down. Just like Three-Mile Island (accurate description in the movie), the reactor safety features prevented anyone from being hurt from the reactor malfunction. The Japanese people are apparently easily terrified just from something they hear from their Government (also not the brightest politicians apparently). It was also accentuated by the US influence because Greg Jaczko (who was a chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission) evacuated Americans to 50 miles from Fukushima (showing a complete lack of knowledge in nuclear) while the Japanese Government only evacuated to 25 (far more than needed for the reactor). One thing caused by this panic was the evacuation of 1,600 ICU patients from hospitals not threatened by the tsunami to tents, high school gyms, and warehouses where they died. That is what panic can do, yet we try to blame nuclear. Not only is used nuclear fuel compact, contained, and solid, it is also recyclable. This is not true of any other energy waste form, especially coal. In fact, given time, even the fission products can be recycled into rare earth element and palladium. Talk about your all-purpose clean energy fuel. Michael Moore Documentary Reveals Massive Ecological Impacts Of Renewables Apr 21, 2020 by Michael Shellenberger Click here or on picture below to watch the "Planet of the Humans" Michael Moore produced ″Planet of the Humans″ about the eco-impacts of renewables Over the last 10 years, everyone from celebrity influencers including Elon Musk, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Al Gore, to major technology brands including Apple, have repeatedly claimed that renewables like solar panels and wind farms are less polluting than fossil fuels. But a new documentary, "Planet of the Humans," being released free to the public on YouTube today, the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, reveals that industrial wind farms, solar farms, biomass, and biofuels are wrecking natural environments. "Planet of the Humans was produced by Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore. "I assumed solar panels would last forever," Moore told Reuters. "I didn't know what went into the making of them." The film shows both abandoned industrial wind and solar farms and new ones being built — but after cutting down forests. "It suddenly dawned on me what we were looking at was a solar dead zone," says filmmaker Jeff Gibbs, staring at a former solar farm in California. "I learned that the solar panels don't last."

Gareth K Vile Choreographic exploration of the rise of rave and descent of dignity Gary Clarke Company's Wasteland is the sequel to their examination of the British Miners' Strike during the 1980s, Coal, and shifts focus to the emergence of rave culture in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Seeing a connection between the battering of the mining communities by Thatcher's attack on the unions – the 'enemy within' – and the development of a youth movement that consciously rejected the values of Thatcherism, Clarke presents this evolution through a triptych, with the experiences of 'the last miner' (Alistair Goldsmith) articulated through a mixture of dance, song and brass band melancholy, framing an extended rave sequence that provides a bleak, yet defiant, dynamism. The message – that the closure of the mines destroyed communities, while raving offered resistance at some personal cost – is put across explicitly: video footage lends the songs and dance context, if not nuance, and the role of the state in suppressing both miner and raver is made obvious. And while the framing device is clumsy and reiterates the sense of doom, the rave sequence manages to capture both the frenzy and desperation of early 1990s dance culture. Cloaked in darkness, the mixture of hope, political radicalism, anger and frustration is pounded out by the five dancers, including 'the boy', Tom Davis Dunn, who responds to his miner father's emotional collapse by connecting to this new underground. If much of the production relies on familiar and received ideas about northern masculinity, the raving is a revelation, matching the fierce and freaky dancing of the era, and evoking its optimism even as it revels in darkness. Against the popular demonisation of the scene at the time – which is presented through the video footage – it held a conscious hedonism alongside an awareness of its potential for change. Ultimately a failed revolution, rave attempted to articulate resistance to the mechanisation of society through embracing a rigid beat and dancing: like a pale reflection of the 'ghost dancers' who fought colonialism through movement in the late nineteenth century, rave contained an element of optimistic rebellion even as it chased more sensual pleasures. Clarke's company express this dualism with a mysterious precision, as the passion of the music and the intensity of the dancers combines with the choreography. The defeat of the movement, and its relationship with the miners' defeat, is handled less elegantly: the complexity of the dancing is reduced to running in circles to denote anxiety and a movement vocabulary familiar from early 21st century companies. Yet the ambition and belief in dance as a vehicle for ideas, and that rare, dark ecstasy exposed in the central sequence, does give the company a bold place within the British dance scene.

This locomotive was built by Kitson and Co for the Austin Motor Company to work at the Lonbridge plant where it was known as Austin 1. In 1966 the Warwickshire Railway Society identified that there were normally four locomotives in steam at Longridge (two at the West Works and two at the North Works), with a fifth acting as a spare. It is worth noting that Austin locomotives regularly needed to cross the Halesowen Joint Railway to reach different parts of the works and when doing so they were required to conform to the Joint Railway's regulations, including carrying appropriate headlamps. Longbridge East Signal Box would control these movements. By 1968 following mergers and reorganisations in the motor industry ownership passed to British Leyland. The locomotive was purchased by Burtonwood Brewery in November 1973 on behalf of the Flint and Deeside Railway Society. It was stored behind the Nant Hotel in Prestatyn until the Society moved to Llangollen in 1975. At this time the locomotive was named Burtonwood Brewer in honour of the brewery, who paid for restoration and fitting of vacuum brake gear required for working passenger trains. The locomotive was delivered to Llangollen in September 1975 but at that time there was no track to run on but by July 1978 it was able to run on a short length of track on the Llangollen Railway. The Llangollen Railway began operating passenger services in 1981 but it did so with only this locomotive until Jinty 47298 arrived in 1983. As an industrial locomotive designed for shunting duties it was not ideally suited to running far on the line due to its limited water capacity. During 1994 and 1995 it was hired to the North Staffordshire Railway (now the Churnet Valley Railway), and then to the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway during 1996 and 1997. Its ten-year overhaul fell due in 1997, and to enable this to proceed, the Llangollen Railway Trust took on ownership from Burtonwood Brewery in 1998. It has since reverted to its original name Austin No. 1. It was again stripped down for major repairs, including work on the motion and welding on the boiler. Since the rebuild was completed in late 2000, it has been available for hire, going to Chinnor for 2001 and part of the 2002 season. It has also spent an extended period on the Lavender Line. It is currently being overhauled at Llangollen.

Henkel May Be Rival Suitor To P&G in a Bid for Wella By Edward taylorDow Jones Newswires March 11, 2003 9:06 am ET FRANKFURT -- Henkel KGaA has bought a 6.86% stake in Wella AG , emerging as a potential rival suitor to Procter & Gamble & Co. of the U.S., which is expected to soon bid for the German maker of hair-care products. Duesseldorf-based Henkel said late Monday that it bought the 6.86% holding in Wella through a subsidiary, but it didn't disclose financial details. The move strengthens Wella's hand to fend off rival predators like P&G, which has expressed an interest in increasing its share of the European hair-care-products market. Darmstadt-based Wella's ordinary shares soared 30% to a high of €74 ($81.77) last week after press reports that P&G had made an offer for the company, valuing it at between €5.5 billion and €6.5 billion. Both Wella and Procter declined to comment at the time. Henkel owns the Duck tape, Persil washing power, Pritt Stick and Loctite Superglue brands. It had €9.66 billion in sales in 2002. Wella's major shareholders are willing to sell their holdings, Handelsblatt reported Tuesday, citing people close to the investors. A 78% stake in Wella is split between private shareholders of four families. Three families -- Pohl, Sander and Ebert -- who hold a combined 53% are in favor of a sale, while the Stroeher family opposes a sale.

DASi (Denver, CO) specializes in Emergency Responder Radio Coverage and Radio Enhancement Systems (RES). These requirements are mandated by the International Fire Code (IFC) under section 510 as well as the NFPA under Annex O. Most of the Fire Departments or Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) follow the guidelines of the IFC and NFPA. However, many of the AHJ's have modified or amended the requirements with variations in the building size, Radio Frequency (RF) levels, performance, testing, monitoring and battery back-up requirements. The IFC refers to the requirement as Emergency Responder Radio Coverage System (ERRC) and the NFPA refers to these systems as Radio Enhancement Systems (RES). RES and ERRC is better known in the industry as a Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) System, Public Safety Repeater, Distributed Antenna System (DAS) or a Radio Amplification System (Radio Amp). DASi can design, consult and fully integrate your In-Building Public Safety Radio Amplification Systems. We can also test your building during the construction phases to determine if a system is required. This system can also include Wireless and Multi-Carrier Cellular if the AHJ allows a shared system. We use several different DAS solutions that can be utilized to meet the specific needs of the customer and AHJ requirements. Most of the Public Safety Systems require 700 and/or 800 Mhz but some areas require UHF (450-470 Mhz) and VHF (150-170 Mhz). Most of fire jurisdictions in Colorado have implemented a version of the International Fire Code (IFC) for the requirements of new and in some cases existing buildings. The building size requirements are usually 50,000 sq. ft. However some jurisdictions do not have a minimum size requirement and can enforce this ordinance on existing/new buildings of any size. The fire code requires that the existing/new building must be tested to meet the adequate Radio Frequency (RF) levels that range from -85 to -100 dBm. This is a typical Passive Public Safety DAS that includes a Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA), Battery Back-Up, Donor Antenna (Outdoor) and in Internal Antenna System which consists of plenum coax, couplers/splitters, connectors and indoor antennas.

Q: Wave equation on the half-line Let $u(x,t)$ be solution of initial boundary value problem $$u_{tt}=u_{xx},\quad 0<x<\infty,\quad t>0 $$ $$u(x,0)=\cos\left(\frac{\pi x}{2}\right),\quad 0<x<\infty$$ $$u_{t}(x,0)=0,\quad 0<x<\infty$$ $$u_{x}(0,t)=0,\quad t\geq0 $$ then * *$u(2,2)=?$ *$u(1/2,1/2)=?$ I am stuck on this problem . Can anyone help me please........ I can't solve it with separation of variable........ I don't know where to begin? A: The problem is posed in the positive real line. The boundary condition suggests to consider the initial value problem in the while real line extending the initial data to be even. Once you have that, use d'Alambert's formula. A: One approach is to assume that you can split $u(x,t)=X(x)\cdot T(t)$. I don't know the english expression, but it should be something like "separation approach". Using this for the equation $u_{tt}=u_{xx}$, we get \begin{align} \frac{d^2T}{dt^2} \cdot X = T \cdot \frac{d^2X}{dx^2} \\ \Leftrightarrow \frac{d^2T}{dt^2} \cdot T^{-1} = X^{-1} \frac{d^2X}{dx^2}X \equiv -\lambda^2 \end{align} Where $\lambda \in C$ is an arbitrary constant. The reason, why the expression are constant, is that the left side only depends on $t$ while the right side only depends on $x$. If now the i.e. the left side would not be constant, we couldn't reproduce that change on the right side as it is only depend on $x$. The reason why I choose $\lambda^2$ and not $-\lambda$ or $+\lambda^2$ becomes clear in the next step. From the above it follows \begin{align} &\frac{d^2T}{dt^2} = -\lambda^2 T \Rightarrow T(t) = a \sin(\lambda t) + b \cos(\lambda t) \\& \frac{d^2X}{dt^2} = -\lambda^2 X \Rightarrow X(x)=c \sin(\lambda x) + d \cos(\lambda x) \end{align} If we had chosen $\lambda^2$ instead of $-\lambda^2$ we would have got another solution to the two ODEs, i.e. the $\exp()$. But as the initial condition suggest trigonometric functions, $\sin()$ and $\cos()$ fit better. Okay. So we have $u(x,t) =X(x)T(t)$ Now we check for initial condition. \begin{align} u(x,0) = X(x)\cdot T(0) = \cos(\frac{\pi x}{2}) \end{align} This suggests $c=0,\lambda=\frac{\pi}{2}$ and with $T(0) = b$ it follows $d\cdot b=1$ and $X(x) =d\cdot \cos(\frac{\pi x}{2})$. Next initial condition is $u_t(x,0)=0$. \begin{align} u_t(x,0) &= T'(t)X(0) =(\frac{\pi}{2} a \cos(\frac{\pi}{2} 0) -\frac{\pi}{2} b \sin(\frac{\pi}{2} 0)) \cdot d\cos(\frac{\pi x}{2}) = \\ &=(\frac{\pi}{2} a)\cdot d\cos(\frac{\pi x}{2})=0 \end{align} As $d\neq0$, it follows $a=0$ and therefore $T(t) = b\cos(\frac{\pi t}{2})$. Combining this, we have \begin{align} u(x,t) = b\cos(\frac{\pi t}{2})\cdot d \cos(\frac{\pi x}{2})=e\cos(\frac{\pi t}{2})\cdot \cos(\frac{\pi x}{2}) \end{align} With $e=b\cdot d$. But as $b\cdot d = 1$ as stated above, the solution becomes \begin{align} u(x,t) = \cos(\frac{\pi t}{2})\cdot \cos(\frac{\pi x}{2}) \end{align} Now we still have to check the last initial condition $u_x(0,t)=0$. \begin{align} u_x(0,t) = X'(x)T(0) = \frac{\pi}{2} \sin(0)T(0) = 0 \end{align} So this one also holds. Therefore we have the solution to the PDE as $u(x,t) = \cos(\frac{\pi t}{2})\cdot \cos(\frac{\pi x}{2})$. Note: In my opinion we could have gone a lot faster. Why? Except for the first initial condition the problem looks quite symmetric. So thought that maybe also $T(t) = \cos(\frac{\pi t}{2})$. And if you check this with the first initial condition it holds. A: Note that when without the condition $u_x(0,t)=0$ this is in fact a just-determining problem and the solution can be expressed by using D'Alembert's formula $u(x,t)=\dfrac{1}{2}\left(\cos\dfrac{\pi(x+t)}{2}+\cos\dfrac{\pi(x-t)}{2}\right)=\cos\dfrac{\pi x}{2}\cos\dfrac{\pi t}{2}$ Check for $u_x(0,t)$ : $u_x(x,t)=-\dfrac{\pi}{2}\sin\dfrac{\pi x}{2}\cos\dfrac{\pi t}{2}$ $u_x(0,t)=-\dfrac{\pi}{2}\sin\dfrac{\pi\times0}{2}\cos\dfrac{\pi t}{2}=0$ $\therefore u(x,t)=\cos\dfrac{\pi x}{2}\cos\dfrac{\pi t}{2}$ is already an exact solution of this problem, we don't need to use the result in http://eqworld.ipmnet.ru/en/solutions/lpde/lpde201.pdf#page=2 Hence $u(2,2)=\cos\dfrac{\pi\times2}{2}\cos\dfrac{\pi\times2}{2}=\cos\pi\cos\pi=1$ Hence $u\left(\dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{1}{2}\right)=\cos\dfrac{\pi\times\dfrac{1}{2}}{2}\cos\dfrac{\pi\times\dfrac{1}{2}}{2}=\cos\dfrac{\pi}{4}\cos\dfrac{\pi}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2}$ A: This is a wave equation on the half-line with Neumann boundary condition. You can use even extension(fortunately, everything you need to extend is automatically even) and d'Alambert's Formula to solve it. I think the answer should be $ u(x,t) =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \left[ cos\frac { \pi (x+t) }{ 2 } +cos\frac { \pi (x-t) }{ 2 } \right] $ with x and t positive real numbers. Plugin $(2,2)$ and $( \frac{1}{2} , \frac{1}{2} )$ you'll get 1 and 1/2

Got Insurance? Images show advertisements intended to encourage young people to sign up for health insurance coverage? Claim: Images show advertisements intended to encourage young people to sign up for health insurance coverage. Example: [Collected via e-mail, November 2013] Several people have posted pictures of ObamaCare ads. Wondering if these ads really exist. Origins: The images shown above are taken from the doyougotinsurance.com web site, a collaboration between the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative and ProgressNow Colorado Education organizations. They're web-based advertisements intended to encourage young people to sign up for health insurance coverage through the Connect for Health Colorado online insurance marketplace by spoofing the dairy industry's famous "got milk?" ad campaign, and some of them — such as the two examples displayed above — feature somewhat provocative ad copy related to birth control. The former, entitled "Let's Get Physical," pictures a young couple with the woman clutching a package of birth control pills and thinking "OMG, he's hot!" Let's hope he's as easy to get as this birth control. My health insurance covers the pill, which means all I have to worry about is getting him between the covers," while the latter's similar scenario imagines the man (actor Ryan Gosling) thinking, "You're excited about easy access to birth control, and I'm excited about getting to know you." As reported by Denver television station KDVR, the Colorado healthcare exchange launched the new "Thanks, Obamacare" ad campaign on 12 November 2013 to encourage millennials and other social media users to get insured: Representatives from Colorado Consumer Health Initiative and ProgressNow Colorado Education released the most recent "Got Insurance," posters in an effort to increase awareness of Colorado's new affordable health insurance options. The ads are modeled after the iconic "Got Milk?" ad campaign, and target the "young invincibles," those in their 20s and 30s who tend to forgo insurance because they're relatively healthy — and often relatively poor. Their participation in the country's expanding health insurance marketplace is considered critical to growing the pool of the insured and, as a result, driving down health costs. "This next group of ads focuses on women to help them connect with their new health insurance options," said Adam Fox, director of strategic engagement at the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative. Jen Caltrider of ProgressNow Colorado Education said, "Guys signing up for insurance is only half the equation. We need to reach 20-something women, as well, and we hope this round of ads will do that." Business Insider reported on the "Got Insurance?" campaign, noting that: [It] was launched by the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative and Progress Now [and] has three targets: young adults, women, and minority groups. And to encourage those groups to sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, they are creating ads they hope will go "viral" on social media. Young, healthy people signing up for health insurance is crucial to the success of the law — and this is the best way the groups sought to get that message across. So far, the ads are working at getting attention — even as the reaction has been mostly negative among commentators. The latest ads are aimed at young women, including a couple that feature actor Ryan Gosling. "It's been fun to watch how it all plays out," Adam Fox, the director of strategic engagement for the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative. "We've seen both positive and negative reactions, but if people are seeing the ads and purchasing health insurance, that's a good thing." It does appear to be working, at least in that sense. Traffic to the site that features the ads exploded so much that the site went down for a few minutes. Fox said that many of the ads are motivated from personal experiences of the people in them. All of the people in the ads, he said, are either personal friends or people they know through various networks. "We wanted to come up with a campaign that would attract attention and inject a bit of humor, and try to approach educating people about health insurance a little bit differently," Fox said. "It was really just brainstorming, 'OK, what are some of those risky activities we could work with that would tie it all together?'"

The rise of the Italians as the leading composers in Europe induced the more important German musicians to go to Italy for their training. Heinrich Schütz (died 1672) was the most accomplished German exponent of the new style, especially in the field of vocal church music. The organ variations of the last great Netherlander Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck influenced the harpsichord and organ music of Samuel Scheidt (died1654), whilst Johann Jakob Froberger (died 1667) was more inclined towards the Italian Frescobaldi. A peculiarly German form of monody arose in secular and religious solo song: dance music was elaborated into "suites' of several movements, above all by Johann Hermann Schein ). The religious vocal concerto developed further into the church cantata, based on specially written texts as well as on Biblical excerpts and chorales.

American analysts NPD have released a report showing that digital sales for PC games have outstripped retail for the first half of 2010. As reported by MCV , Steam holds the lion's share of digital downloads, with Direct2Drive, EA.com, WorldofWarcraft.com and Blizzard.com pulling up the rear. According to NPD there were three million more digital downloads than boxed copies sold in the first half of the year, with 8.2 million PC games being sold in shops. Digital downloads seem to be cheaper, too, with boxed copies still accounting for 57% of total revenue. I dimly remember a time, long ago, when I used to buy games in shops. There were other people there, and loud music, and rows and rows of games, and I could never find what I wanted. A part of me slightly misses those big old boxes with their hefty, impenetrable manuals. But what about you? Do you buy your games at retail, or online? Let us know in the comments.

Please see the following message from our Cafeteria Manager, Mr. Feist and the School Nutrition Office regarding our menu for tomorrow (Thursday, Feb. 28th). This change is due to the cancelled deliveries from inclement weather days which have impacted LCPS and the School Nutrition Services Office. Thank you in advance for your flexibility as we make the most of this situation. Thank you for sharing your wonderful young people with our School TEAM! Have a great afternoon! We are enjoying a great week here at the Lane! The PTA is rescheduling the Family Reading Night that was initially supposed to take place tonight for Wednesday, March 27th. A box will be in front of the main office to collect books for the book swap from 3/1 - 3/25. More information about the reading night will be coming home in the next couple of weeks. Please mark your calendars now for this fun event! We will be celebrating Read Across America Day on Friday, March 1st here at Cedar Lane! We are encouraging all students and staff to participate in our Spirit Day, as it will be "Dress Like a Book Character Day" here at the Lane! Students can dress like their favorite book character and share their love for a favorite book with our school community.

Q: My program doesnt print the result of a function for my last line of code This code take input from the user (characters C,T,B) and (int 0-24 and 0-60) to calculate the cost of parking based on the type of vehicle the user inputs. the last line of code in the program is supossed to print the result of the function "charged" which is determined by the type of vehicle declared by the user inputed char value but when i run it only retruns 0.00 instead of the flaot value any and all help is appreciated :) #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <math.h> int total_minute_parked (int minute_in, int minute_left) { int minute_parked; if (minute_in > minute_left) { minute_parked = (minute_left - minute_in + 60); } else { minute_parked = (minute_left - minute_in); } return minute_parked; } // func calc total hours parked int total_hour_parked (int hour_in, int hour_left) { int hours_parked; if (hour_left > hour_in) { hours_parked = abs((hour_left - 1) - hour_in); } else { hours_parked = abs(hour_left - hour_in); } return hours_parked ; } // -------------------funtion to calc charge based off type of vehicle------ float charged (char vehicle_type,int total_hour_parked) { char C; char T; char B; float temp_charged; if (vehicle_type == C) // -------------------------------CAR { if (total_hour_parked > 3) { float secondary_hour = total_hour_parked - 3; temp_charged = secondary_hour * 1.5; } else { temp_charged = 0; } } else if (vehicle_type == T) // ------------------------------TRUCK { if (total_hour_parked > 2) { float secondary_hour = total_hour_parked - 2; temp_charged = (secondary_hour * 2.3) + 1.0; } else { temp_charged = 1; } } else if (vehicle_type == B) // -----------------------------------BUS { if (total_hour_parked > 1) { float secondary_hour = total_hour_parked - 1; temp_charged = (secondary_hour * 3.7) + 2.0; } else { temp_charged = 2; } } return temp_charged; } //---------------------- end program upon invalid imput -------------------// // --------------------- main that prints results and takes imput -----------// int main() { int total_hour_parked (int hour_in,int hour_left); float charged (char vehicle_type, int total_hour_parked); char vehicle_type; int hour_in = 0; int minute_in = 0; int hour_left = 0; int minute_left = 0; printf("Please enter the type of Vehicle:"); scanf("%c",&vehicle_type); printf("Please enter the hour entered lot:"); scanf("%d", &hour_in); printf("Please enter the minute entered lot:"); scanf("%d", &minute_in); printf("Please enter the hour left lot:"); scanf("%d", &hour_left); printf("Please enter the minute left lot:"); scanf("%d", &minute_left); printf("------------------------------------\n"); printf("Parking time: %d:%d\n", total_hour_parked(hour_in,hour_left),total_minute_parked(minute_in,minute_left)); printf("Cost %f",charged(vehicle_type,total_hour_parked)); return 0; } A: I'm not sure if it's going to solve all the problems in the code, but there's an issue here: char C; char T; char B; float temp_charged; if (vehicle_type == C) // -------------------------------CAR What this does is it declares three char and doesn't assign any value (so accessing them is undefined and will result in some rubbish value). Then you are comparing vehicle_type against those chars. The result will most likely be false (or 0). That's not what you intended. Instead, do this: if (vehicle_type == 'C') You probably misunderstood what char C; means. It doesn't mean "make a char with value 'C'", but "make a char named C and don't initialize it". But in this scenario you don't need those three chars anyway bcause you can just compare vehicle_type with a literal. A: Their are several problems in the above code. 1). You are comparing vehicle_type with the char which are not assign so first assign the values to this char variables char C = 'C'; char T = 'T'; char B = 'B'; Or you can directly compare like if (vehicle_type == 'T') 2). total_hour_parked is a function not a integer variable so what you can do is store the return value of total_hour_parked in any variable Eg:- int m_total_hour_parked = total_hour_parked(hour_in, hour_left); printf("Parking time: %d:%d\n", m_total_hour_parked, total_minute_parked(minute_in, minute_left)); printf("Cost %f", charged(vehicle_type, m_total_hour_parked)); Hopefully that helps
