By way of a synopsis, the film makers followed a series of inmates around the London prisons of Pentonville and Holloway during their sentences and then when released back into their communities. The characters featured so far are serial petty offenders that actually need to be in prison in order to cope with their lives – drug abusers, alcoholics, homeless souls etc. Prison gives these people a bed, a TV, food, structure, sometimes a prison job, companionship, often a much needed detox and it costs them nothing to live. It’s fair to say that those followed are the detritus of society with low intelligence, limited education, no employment prospects and often from malfunctioning families. Their drink and/or drug habits go on to fuel the antisocial behaviour (shoplifting, violence) that gets them banged up again and again and again. In one chap’s case, a gregarious 43 year old Londoner, that has meant 14 years in prison for simple and stupid offences. One twenty-something had been imprisoned on 42 separate occasions! These people are institutionalised because they go to prison, serve their time, get let out and re-offend in no time at all so that they end up detained at Her Majesty’s pleasure once again. Now this post isn’t intended to be a review of the series but rather a reflection on the conflicting emotions that it has generated by watching it. Starting with bewilderment – personally this comes from having no mental reference points for anything I am watching. For the characters, I can’t think from their perspectives at all and I can’t rationalise their behaviour. To me their self-destructive spirals of decline are shocking and confusing. I do end up feeling some sympathy for the characters though because they are in a state of purgatory all the time – these people will achieve little, will go nowhere and will have nothing. Most of these prisoners live pointless lives and even struggle to string a coherent sentence together. They aren’t murderers, rapists, child abusers or terrorists (the kind of inmates one would only have negative thoughts towards) but instead lost souls with little hope of finding the ‘light’. I certainly sympathise with the wardens and probation officers that have to work with these people. I also sympathise with the parents of one or two of the inmates. Frustration comes from listening to these characters, free from the effects of addiction, talking about turning over a new leaf this time and staying clean and getting a job when you know full well they are deceiving themselves. You want to shout at the telly (and the people) when you watch the addictions take hold once more or the effects of homelessness taking their inevitable toll. I found myself thinking ‘are you stupid’ about a particular individual only for it to dawn that the answer was simply ‘yes’. On to anger – I have found myself feeling anger about the system, about the way that it completely fails to help these people cope with life. Then from a conflicting perspective, I get angry that these morons are living their hopeless lives at the tax payers’ expense and adding no value to society at all. For me guilt then takes hold because some of the thoughts above aren’t exactly charitable! I watched a teenager last night self-harming and tying ligatures around her neck and honestly, a small part of me thought – if she killed herself, so what! The final emotion that I have experienced is a sense of relief and satisfaction with all that I have. It is easy to fall into the trap of forgetting just how lucky you are. Last night I sat back and reflected that I am fortunate to have come from a good family, to have a good family of my own, to have had an education, to have had some opportunities, to be healthy and to have had some great experiences. So to end this ramble, the producers have done an excellent job of playing with viewers’ minds. If you haven’t seen an episode of this series, give it some thought, you may also experience a roller coaster of emotion. If you want compelling television or thought provoking viewing then I’d have to recommend this series. It’s reality TV but it’s gritty and uncomfortable and has a much more important set of messages to convey than ‘The Voice’, ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ or some of the other guff that fills the schedules. I have to say the BBC has done a good job with this one.

You have to applaud the folks at Twoheart Concerts for bringing some of the best rock and metal shows to the Cobalt Café in Canoga Park. The Saturday night of March 2nd was an especially ambitious endeavor – Oxygen Fest, with 12 bands in all, tearing up the stage at the venerable West San Fernando Valley venue. What made the occasion memorable would be the final Los Angeles appearance of The Air I Breathe, coming through town on their Farewell Tour. Other up and coming bands on the package included the likes of This Romantic Tragedy, For All I Am, Forty Fathoms, and Famous Last Words. A whole collection of local acts were featured on the bill as well, with the door opening at the breakfast time hour of 4PM. Highwire Daze managed to catch up with the later part of the show, and what an memorable event it was! The first band we caught up with at the Cobalt Café was End Of Truth, a local Los Angeles band who has really been making a name for themselves as of late. Performing a dark yet intensive brand of melodic hardcore, End Of Truth did the City Of Angels proud, going on right before the bands on the multiple touring package and more than holding their own. After a haunting Intro, the band exploding into Hopeless Findings, and definitely caught the undivided attention of the Cobalt crowd. Jonathan Arevalo is a charismatic front man, conveying the lyrics with a sense of conviction and really drawing you into the material at hand. The songs are shaded with a gloriously chilling effect by keyboardist Danny Morrison. Dual guitarists Felipe Herrera and Ricardo Argueta supply a dynamic wall of sound while bassist Randy Rios and drummer Eddie Villicana make up a tighter than hell rhythm section. Expect to hear great things from End Of Truth as time rolls relentlessly on – there is no stopping these guys now! And incidentally, the final untitled song in their set was fantastic! Keep up the good work guys! And now it was time for the massive touring package to commence, and Forty Fathoms kicked it into high gear with an all-out vengeance. Based out of Denver, Colorado, Forty Fathoms presented a set of metalcore so intense and explosive, it was probably heard and felt back home in the Mile High City. The heavy anthems found within really set the mosh pit into overdrive and singer Taylor MacNicholas was right in the thick of things, singing with the crowd with a fiery sense of conviction. How in the world Forty Fathoms remain unsigned is perhaps the greatest mystery of all. Songs such as Back Stabber, Sin Sin Sin, and Hopeless from their In/Famous self-release were performed, an explosion of sound that sent the room reeling. With an opening this utterly dynamic, it should be no time at all before Forty Fathoms find themselves headlining their own tours. A thrilling performance that is not to be missed. Next up on the bill was This Romantic Tragedy from the city of sin known as Las Vegas, Nevada. If you think walking away from a noteworthy label such as Tragic Hero Records while losing key bands members could even keep this hard working band down – think again! The Cobalt venue was being saturated with a thick veil of fog as This Romantic Tragedy took to the stage and beyond. Clean vocalist Sean Neumann and lead screamer Chad Dague were right there on the floor with everyone else, performing practically in the faces of the audience members who crowded around the area. The live show This Romantic Tragedy presents is tremendously tight, with the rapturous songs reverberating throughout. Opening with a new tune entitled Illusions, the band clearly demonstrated there is a lot of life and determination to found within This Romantic Tragedy. Towards the end of the set, the band’s should-be genre classic You’re Just A Trend was delivered, still sounding more impassioned than ever. Sole original member David Diaz remains a subtle yet very vibrant presence, with all of the electricity generating from the two front men, but his guitar work was impeccable. Look to the future and you are sure to find This Romantic Tragedy rocking your world with their mesmerizing tunes and captivating live shows. The best is yet to come! Famous Last Words from Petoskey, MI took to the stage next, presenting an exciting brand of screamo and rock and roll. A bit different from the other heavier acts on the bill, fans of Escape The Fate and Falling In Reverse (and there are many) are destined to find their next great musical fix when exploring what Famous Last Words has to offer. It’s been over a year since their debut EP Pick Your Poison was released through Invogue Records, and the band has toured relentlessly since that time. There was a ton of passion and energy emerging from the stage, and Famous Last Words presented a rock solid set of tunes that were instantly memorable. While we wait to see what Famous Last Words releases next on CD, be sure to check into their live show and get a shot of their wildly infectious tunes! If there was a band on the verge of greatness, ready to break it out into the big leagues, this collective would certainly be For All I Am. Based out of the thriving Chicago music scene, For All I Am has grown tremendously over the last year, and their live shows are profoundly moving and sonically devastating. Opening with the dynamic strains of Forgotten, For All I Am sent the room spinning and the Cobalt crowd remained enraptured throughout their entire set. Aria Yava is one of the vastly underrated front men on the scene today, wildly charismatic and super impassioned about the performance at hand. Presenting a positive spin in even the most bleak and desolate of situations, songs such as The Strange Daze, Overthrown, and Oppressor were thrilling to behold. Their full length debut Skinwalker was recently unveiled through Equal Vision Records, and as exciting as the band sounds on disc, to know the full impact of For All I Am’s raging tunes is to see them within a live arena. Paying their dues now, expect this very passionate band to amass a gigantic fan base in no time at all. The resourceful For All I Am lineup consists of the aforementioned Aria Yava on vocals, Chase on guitar and vocals, Tom on guitar, Mario on bass, and Aaron on drums. The main event of the night arrived in the form of The Air I Breathe, who went through hell and high water to make it to the Cobalt Café. The night before, the band has much of their merch and equipment stolen and van problems were soon to follow. It was touch and go on whether they would even make it into the City Of Angels in time for the show, but indeed they did! While their performance at The Whisky last year was the essence of a band falling apart at the seams, the set presented at the Cobalt Café was vibrant and full of life. This did not sound like a band on the verge of breaking up, and Tony Dougard was quick to explain that they would be going through a name change, write new material, and then make a return. All of the favorites were performed, and in between songs, Tony encouraged the audience members to come over and talk with him after the show. He wanted to know if the music really mattered and if anyone in the audience was moved by the legacy of The Air I Breathe. Judging by the love and admiration exuded from the fired up audience, Tony and the band clearly had their answer well before they made their way to the merch booth at the conclusion of their set. The Air I Breathe will be missed but it will be exciting to see what Dougard and band has in store for us all in future days. And a wild Saturday night at the Cobalt Café came to an end.

The quark model has been successful in classifying the spectrum of mesons observed since the 1960s, however, it fails to explain some of the measured bound states. Lattice QCD predictions have shown that an excited gluonic field may contribute to the quantum numbers of the bound state and form hybrid mesons, qq-bar, where g is a constituent gluon. It is possible for some hybrids to possess quantum numbers forbidden by the quark model and are known as "smoking gun" hybrids due to their lack of mixing with conventional qq-bar states. The GlueX photoproduction experiment at Jefferson Lab in Newport News, VA is designed to study hybrid mesons and to map their spectrum. A 12 GeV electron beam produces 9 GeV linearly polarized photons via coherent bremsstrahlung in a diamond radiator which are incident on a liquid hydrogen target. In order to determine the photon energy, the use of a tagging spectrometer which measures the energy of the post-bremsstrahlung electron is required. The tagger microscope is a scintillating fiber detector designed to measure the energy of electrons corresponding to the polarized photons. The main focus of this work is the design and construction of the tagger microscope electronics as well as the calibration of the microscope within the experiment. Additionally, the analysis of the reaction (photon, proton) to (phi, proton), where the phi(1020) meson decays into K+K-, is discussed. This analysis provides a high-level calibration for GlueX in regards to understanding the acceptance and sensitivity of the detectors to mesons with strange quark content. By studying the phi with linearly polarized photons, information on the production mechanism can be extracted. The measurement of the phi meson spin-density matrix elements are shown and compared with past data which are found to be in agreement. a chemical compound so imperfectly bound together that its composition will change in accordance with the concentration of chemicals in the solution in its presence.

"Long regarded as being averse to change, the construction industry is entering a period of substantial adjustment." Avocados are one of a kind when it comes to fruits.

Geko Jones and Atropolis present: Palenque Records Remixed. The compilation takes Afro-Colombian roots music from San Basilio de Palenque and re-imagines it in the hands of a host of global remixers. I was very keen to post this one, because I have followed Atropolis since Cumba Mela went to Colombia and made the whole clash from their Global Bass meets roots. Years have passed by, and Lucas kept strong ties with him, and adding the fact Geko Jones is a guy who knows and respects the roots this compilation is just the perfect example of how we can actually contribute to preserve original stuff and then shift it to the modern-urban environment without falling in the appropriation or colonialism mentality. I had to do a whole interview with Geko, asking him a lot about the release, but instead what happened is because I have a strong relationship with Lucas (as we both did a Latino resiste together) he was the one sending me the promo very same day. So I decided to ask what the dudes in Colombia thought about the whole release. LUCAS SILVA: I decided to do this because it is a great opportunity for people outside Colombia to realize the whole potential of our music. Also the possibilities to contact Palenque Records if they want to keep these things going on. We are the ones who made the recordings and we are the ones who try to represent the artists for a global market. LS: I feel it is great because I had built a good relationship with both since Cumba Mela trip. and we were constantly exchanging ideas and emails. And their network is unbelievable. The final product and names who collaborated is impressive. I also want to point out that this is Palenque Records remixed. I do not want to generate the idea that Palenque Records does bass music. But certainly we want to break those walls and get together roots and dancefloor scenes. San Basilio de Palenque is a small autonomous community in Northern Colombia on the outskirts of metropolitan Cartegena. The town was settled by African slaves who escaped bondage from Spanish masters in 1602, and is one of the oldest continually inhabited communities in the Americas. Its strategic geographic location has allowed it to be defended from attacks by outsiders throughout Colombiaʼs history. Its strong and unique local culture has forced subsequent governments to recognize the communityʼs continued contribution to Colombian national identity. Like many maroon communities scattered throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, the culture of San Basilio de Palenque has a mix of African, European, and Indigenous American influences. However, the strong political identity of the community and its diaspora is unmistakably African. So its no wonder that when contemporary Afropop music started to make its way to the Colombian coast through vinyl LPs in the 1970s, it was the Palenqueros who first took up this music as a mark of community pride. Soon, Palenqueros and other Atlantic coast residents made up their own versions of the Afropop and Afro- Caribbean sounds they were hearing, resulting in the popular music called Champeta Criolla. In recent years, various incarnations of Colombian popular music, like Cumbia or Vallenato, have been well- publicized and celebrated internationally. However, the cultural music of San Basilio de Palenque, with an unbroken 400 year-old history that stretches back to the founding of the settlement, remains more obscured. For the past decade or so, Palenque Records founder Lucas Silva has done field recordings in the town of San Basilio de Palenque of musicians such as Batata, Son Palenque, and Sexteto Tabala. To introduce this music to a wider club-going audience, Silva teamed up with Dutty Artz ambassadors Atropolis and Geko Jones to curate a compilation of remixed works of Palenquero cultural music. The partnership was initiated when Atropolis met Silva, on a trip he took to San Basilio de Palenque with his New York DJ crew Cumba Mela, and the two of them decided to collaborate on a project. Geko Jones, a regular visitor to the Northern coast of Colombia and staunch advocate for Afro-Colombian music, came on board to help curate the compilation. Together, the two reached out to the Dutty Artz extended family for their remixes, with a host of talented producers such as Captain Planet who turns in a wobbly pop banger, So Shifty who are on a hype German-soca tip, Matt Shadetek on a pensive melodic 6/8 run, and DJs Thornato and Chief Boima highlight the Congolese flavor that so inspires the Palenquero community. Geko Jones and Atropolis also submit their own productions, for an ultimate result that is a reflection of a continued cultural exchange that exists between New York and Colombia.

The entirety of our lives, real and imagined, is grounded in memories of learning, thinking, and doing, making our memories inextricably linked to our identities. Every time you recall something, a series of neurons lights up your brain, covering it like a patterned spider web of energy. Remembering the details of where you were, whom you were with, and what an event looked or sounded like causes your brain to activate and occasionally modify this pattern. Like a children’s game of “Telephone,” details can get altered or lost in translation; the brain doesn’t operate like a perfect videotape. But its changeability ensures that we can create and store memories in vast numbers of adaptive neural connections, constantly adding threads to the tapestries of our persons. There’s a lot that scientists still don’t know about how we form and store memories, but the beginnings of one are easy to trace. All memories start with perception. Through thinking, touching, hearing, seeing, tasting, and smelling, we process our surroundings and things that affect us. “Today I walked into the door and bumped my elbow,” offers Jessica Cardin, Ph.D., assistant professor of neurobiology, as an example. “You have to have a context for that memory. You have to see that you’re in your office.” In the brain, the cortex receives all of this information from various systems and funnels it into the hippocampus, which creates associations throughout the neural network. But from there, everything depends on what type of memory is being formed. Muscle memory‒learning how to play the piano or ride a bike‒uses a different part of the brain than remembering how you celebrated your birthday last year. Spilling coffee on yourself during a meeting is recalled differently from how to use a knife and fork, which is different from remembering the dates you studied for a history test the night before. Some memories are constantly reinforced by our environments and therefore made stronger‒it’s easier to forget where you placed your keys last night than it is to forget the route from your home to the office. Mistakes, however, often occur in the perceptual phase. “People are terrible observers most of the time,” says Cardin, who studies the interplay between neurons in both healthy and diseased brains. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously fallible due to missing or imagined details. Psychologists have also conducted experiments in which a subject takes a sheet of paper from someone behind a desk, who then bends down to retrieve something. A different person behind the desk stands up‒and the subject rarely notices. The experiment isn’t meant to embarrass people, or to point out how little they remember about the people they just met, but rather as an example of how they prioritize where they direct their attention. In these cases, were the clients later asked to recall what the person behind the desk looked like, odds are they would offer only general details: gender, or perhaps race. For items or events to which we do pay attention, we build chemical connections to consolidate a memory. Compared to the number of neurons in the average brain, a single person will have a seemingly unlimited number of experiences. “You can’t assign one memory per neuron,” says Cardin. Even with 100 billion neurons, there simply aren’t enough. Instead, rather than selecting one cell to hold all memories of a family member, we create a pattern involving only a portion of the available neurons, combining them in different numbers and sequences. Researchers once envisioned memory as a discrete “thing” in the brain, but now they search for these patterns of replay that indicate information being recalled. Your brain can ignite the pattern for recall in multiple ways, along any part. According to Cardin, smell is one of the best ways to activate a memory. The nerves that react to and process smells in the air connect directly to the limbic system‒which includes the hippocampus. We can also ignite patterns of recall by envisioning specific details or places. If someone asked you to remember something about your childhood, you might start with an image of your elementary school building or your first pet and build from there. When we reactivate such a neural recall pattern, it becomes malleable. It’s unlikely that anyone would believe they actually saw a lollipop since reading Chun’s instructions, but that might change a week later if subjects were unaware of the test’s purpose. Memory is like a wax seal, Chun says: First, you heat up the wax to press an imprint into it, which then solidifies. But the act of retrieval warms up the wax again. “That malleability‒the fact that it becomes reprogrammable‒that physical fact is what allows memories to become stronger or weaker,” says Chun. “There’s no such thing as reading out exactly what was encoded. It all involves opening the files, making the wax warm again, because we’re just dealing with proteins in the brain.” False memories can be created by something as simple as a leading question. “You can do it experimentally by having people witness an event,” says Cardin. A subject might observe a brown-haired person bumping into someone, with an experimenter afterwards asking the witness what time the blond person bumped into the other. A week or two later, when asked to describe the event, the witness is more likely to say that a blond-haired person bumped into someone. The immediate follow-up by the experimenter is crucial; when recalling the event later, the witness’s brain activates the pattern of neurons and therefore heats up the wax again, allowing the memory to be modified by the suggestive question. Change occurs to some types of memory more easily than others. Memory of our personal timeline, referred to as “episodic memory” or memory with a date and time stamp, is most susceptible to alteration or decay. The memory of what you gave a friend for a birthday or who attended the party is less resilient than the memory of what purpose a chair serves. Similarly, forgetting that the sky is usually blue or that a zebra is striped would be unlikely without some type of brain damage. These learned memories, ingrained factual information outside our personal experiences, are categorized as “semantic memory.” Psychologists still debate whether the brain handles the information in one system or two and how much reinforcement the brain needs before a fact becomes part of semantic memory, but no one argues that a distinction exists. Traumatic brain damage and neural disease provide critical information about what memory is and how it works. Some of the brain’s memory systems are particularly robust. While episodic memory is often the first to go, skill memory‒the eponymous “muscle memory”‒is one of the most resilient. Even amnesiacs don’t forget how to walk. Those who have difficulty forming new personal memories can still learn new motor skills, including complex tasks like writing backwards on a mirror. The brain stores skill memory in a different region from plain information. When humans do forget things, the process may occur in a few different ways. The act of trying to remember is akin to searching for something on a computer hard drive or in a messy room. If the computer files are organized, or the room has been recently cleaned, the search is easier‒but with time and entropy, finding things becomes difficult. “Memory is the exact same thing,” says Chun. “Sometimes, it’s hard to find because of all the other stuff.” Whether memory patterns, if formed through proper attention, can ever be truly “deleted” from our brains is still an open question in psychology. However, they decay and can be overwritten by more important information. This notion of forgetting or lost memories has long been a source of fascination for pop culture. Movies across all genres deal with the topic: The Notebook for Alzheimer disease; Memento or 50 First Dates for anterograde amnesia, in which the main characters cannot form new memories; The Bourne Identity and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for a more science-fiction take on lost memories. “We don’t really understand forgetting that well,” says Chun, but he points out that an abnormal rate of memory loss is one of the most debilitating situations in which patients can find themselves: “It robs you of who you are and how people relate to you.” Clinically, forgetting as a process receives significant research attention. Even though memory patterns are spread throughout the brain, conditions like Alzheimer disease hit memory the hardest of all the brain functions. “What we can do to stave off and understand that disease is probably our most pressing challenge,” says Chun. “The more you can understand memory and the more you can map it onto the brain, and the more you can understand when it goes bad and when you can preserve it‒what all memory researchers do is helpful for that effort.” But our brains have also created forgetting as an adaptive function, and researchers are harnessing it to treat other disorders. With chemicals that block neurotransmitters, scientists are researching memory alteration as a potential therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder, drug addiction, delusions, and phobias. By activating a memory and then using an agent that weakens connections in the brain, researchers may be able to remove the emotional attachment or craving that accompanies the memory pattern and stop it from being reinforced. Memory as a higher brain function defines who we are. We rely on our memories for experience, wisdom, relationships, flexibility, and any ability to learn. Even in Greek mythology, the Muses‒goddesses of inspiration and knowledge in the arts and sciences‒were daughters of Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory. But when our identities are predicated on a temporal continuity, what does it mean when it turns out we’re not exact documentaries but some flavor of creative, narrative film? Our brains simply do the best they can‒the rest is up to us.

The superhero genre is littered with emotionally scarred men. Whether it’s a murdered loved one or a superpower-generating freak accident, trauma of one kind or another is a ubiquitous motivator for superheroes. Indeed, for most characters, that tragic backstory is so central to who they are and why they fight that it’s all but impossible to truly confront it — remove the psychological pain, and you “solve” the character’s motivating problem, effectively ending their story. So most of these characters are doomed to never resolve their issues. But what if why they fight has little to do with their trauma? What if that emotional baggage isn’t their motivating force? What if a superhero could confront their problems without destroying the conflicts that make them a hero in the first place? These are questions posed by discerning fans for decades, but rarely have those questions been answered as effectively as they are in Saladin Ahmed and Christian Ward’s Black Bolt 12. True to the spirit of this series, much of Bolt’s final showdown with the Jailer happens internally, as Blinky and Ahura’s spirit/astral selves rescue a young Black Bolt from the prison of his memories. The symbolism is dense here, but effectively, Bolt’s father and the Jailer are one in the same in a kind of Freudian conflagration of authority figures. Ward doubles down on the density of that symbolism, setting the scene not just in that Escheresque staircase world of Bolt’s mind, but even putting the kids on a platform made of young Blackagar’s head. It’s rich stuff I’m not sure I can always parse, but the clear effect is this kind of dreamlike memory space where Black Bolt is reliving his youthful traumas, even as he’s facing down the Jailer in the real world. Ahmed sets the resolution up beautifully — it’s clear Bolt will need to come to terms with the authority figure in his past before he can do so in the present — but it’s Ward’s wrangling of all of that symbolism that really makes it sing. Just look at how Ward collapses these two confrontations into one: The boundaries swirl and ultimately dissolve — these two Black Bolts are one in the same, after all. The exact metaphysics of the fallout don’t totally matter; Black Bolt wins the day by confronting his inner demons with the help of his friends and family. Sending Bolt into a charmingly domestic future of overcooked fried eggs is a fun choice, especially with Medusa once again at his side, but the most thrilling element of Bolt’s life moving forward is that he’s come to terms with the trauma his parents put him through. He’s not done healing, by any means, but he’s ready (and capable) of facing his issues head-on, and has the support he needs to do so. It’s a great conclusion to the series, turning the end of this emotional journey into a new beginning, all wrapped up with some of the most dazzling artwork imaginable. This may be the end for this volume, but it makes me excited to look out for Bolt, Ahmed, and Ward wherever they crop up next. I remember reading that Ahmed had this idea for a great Creel book, and he just didn’t know who the lead was. And when Marvel asked him to do Black Bolt, he used that idea. It is the sort of story that always leaves me slightly nervous, because you should write the story that best fits the character, not force the character in a story that doesn’t make sense. Except, of course, for the fact that this book has knocked it out of the park issue after issue. Ahmed studied Black Bolt carefully, and saw just how well the character fit the story he wanted to tell. What is essential is that the Jailer and Black Bolt’s father aren’t just authority figures. There similarities are much closer than that. The abuse they placed on Black Bolt are the same. What makes the Jailer threatening is not the fact that he is powerful, but that he returns Black Bolt to his abusive childhood, where Black Bolt wasn’t. And yet, Black Bolt has one thing that he didn’t, last time. Family. Whether it is Ahura, Creel or Blinky, he is alone. He has more than a dog (no matter how adorable Lockjaw is). He has the support he needed. And it is through that that he can reconcile the pain of his past that with the man he is today. Apply the same heroism he does as a superheroesque figure to his own pain. A beautiful ending I just wish Blinky wasn’t disappearing. Inspiring ending for her story, but would have preferred to see her stick around as Black Bolt’s daughter. Would have been a great dynamic Hey Matt. Do you think that sensitive and taboo subjects should be portrayed? What limits that the writer should consider when trying to portray those issues. I ask because when I think of the inhumans I think that Marvel should find a writer that is capable of handling those matters. Would you read it even it have subjects that you might disagree with?. Ebert said “It’s not what a movie is about, it’s how it is about it.” Which is the rule I follow. Which means that all sensitive and taboo subjects should be portrayed. But that they should portray them properly. I’d happily read something with views I disagree with, if it could make its case in a way where I recognised the legitimacy of the argument even if I disagreed about it (an interesting contrast is the recent firing of Kevin Williamson. Many have decried this firing as an assault on conservative thought, but the specific reason he was fired was because of his repeated pushing of the extreme view that 12% of the US population should be hung. Even among the Anti-Abortion contingent, his views were so extreme and so unjustifiable that he should be fired and replaced by a conservative who create arguments that were actually legitimate, even if I disagreed with them). So as long as a topic is treated with enough respect and enough thought that it justifies its own stance in a way that holds up to scrutiny, it should be portrayed. This means every topic should be portrayed, but not every viewpoint (to go for the absurd, flat earthers somehow still exist. A story about flat earthers could be fascinating done properly, but a story that legitimately endorsed the idea that the Earth is flat is so stupid and so unable to hold up to intellectually scrutiny that it shouldn’t be written). With the Inhumans, I think Marvel should try and find writers that can handle them properly. In fact I wish they got better writers because there is so much potential. Honestly, Soule and Ewing were just so wrong. Ahmed certainly knocked Black Bolt out of the park, and proved he could handle the characters. And the intelligence he showed around the prison aspects of his story suggests he would be fantastic doing the main Inhumans book. Christopher Priest is the other guy who has done Inhumans recently, and he was also sensational – unsurprising, as Black Panther is probably the closest franchise to the Inhumans on an idea level, and if you can handle one, you can handle the other. Which means Ta-Nehisi Coates should be considered as well. Nick Spencer could be interesting. His Captain America run has high points and low points, but the high points would fit very well for Inhumans. And his usual focus on the idea of superheroes as a job would be a great fit for the Inhumans, who should be treated as a society first. Aaron’s Thor run sometimes get unwieldy when it has too many characters, but his Southern Bastards is suggestive of someone who could fit the Inhumans. Marvel’s original choice to launch the Inhumans, Matt Fraction, would likely have done fantastic things since some of his better work involved an emphasis on socila dynamcis of a company or apartment block. And Hickman, whose Avengers the Inhumans spun out of, is born for that sort of storytelling. For a less big name, Tom Taylor is doing great work with X-Men Red, and apparently did a decent job with Injustice. The Inhumans aren’t exactly hard. The matters that need to be addressed are pretty standard. Certain characters, like Black Bolt, need more complex discussions on difficult topics like abuse and disability. But the big topics you need are explorations of societal dynamics, leadership and rulership, the act of politics. Not that hard. It should be superhero sci fi Game of Thrones, without the darkness. With the Inhumans, Marvel just needs to find a writer able to handle these matters, and unfortunately, they seem to do a better job fidning writers for Karnak and Black Bolt than they do for any of the core books How could they’re trying to potray those matters without the darkness?. Those matters that are related to them are dark and sensitive. Been really busy, so very sorry for the late reply. By darkness, I mean Game of Thrones level darkness. Inhumans don’t need to be as crapsack a world as Westeros. Game of Thrones is a brutal deconstruction of the way we idealise history in fantasy stories by going in the complete opposite direction, and therefore it is all the worst elements magnified. Inhumans is a superhero story, and can have a bit more idealism. All the complexity and difficult decisions of geopolitics that Game of Thrones has, but without things like the Red Wedding. Let things like Black Bolt’s past be dark when they need to be, but realise that generally, Inhumans should be lighter fare than Game of Thrones Christopher Priest’s Black Panther is a pretty great example of the sort of space that I would place Inhumans. In fact, I have my own pitch for the Inhumans that would take a good deal of inspiration from Priest’s Black Panther. Priest it certainly dark when he needs to be, but never goes truly pitch black. Pretty well calibrated Well…. they aren’t superheroes or supervillians from my view. They are people with moral ambiguity and flaws that define them. Which is exactly how Priest characterised Black Panther. There’s a reason that a key part of my pitch involves a human character from the State Department whose job is to exist in opposition to the Inhumans to represent the fact that despite the fact that the major Inhumans are on the more moral side, they are the ruler of a fundamentally different culture and have a completely different set of priorities to the US. My pitch involves the cast having ambiguities and flaws, and how the tensions that arise from those have geopolitical implications. My point is just that the Red Wedding doesn’t belong in the same book as cute teleporting dog Lockjaw. And even if I do what Priest did, and bring the world close to World War 3, I wouldn’t go Game of Thrones. The Inhumans aren’t superheroes, but they exist in a world built on superhero tropes. That’s what I meant when I said it was a superhero story. That doesn’t mean I can’t make a complex political thriller out of them. As I said, Priest already has proved it A penny saved is a penny earned. Actually, a penny saved is more than a penny earned after taxes are factored in. Depending on where you live a penny saved could be like two pennies earned. Anyway, this isn’t really a post about taxes. Taxes are just the icing. It’s a post about how to earn more on your investments in retirement. Remembering that a dollar not spent is another dollar (or two before tax) in your pocket. Here are just a few ways to get more money in retirement. We just got solar panels on our home. It’s a big investment, but it’s an investment with a guaranteed return. How many investments are like that? Right now the money sitting in my bank account is earning .11%. The money sitting in short-term bond funds is earning just a tad more. Long-term bond funds may wind up earning negative returns depending on when and how quickly interest rates rise over the coming years. And the stock market is sitting near all-time highs. Who knows the future direction, but I’m guessing the huge returns we’ve been experiencing over the last few years are not going to continue, at least in the short-term. So I took the dollars out of my bank account, where my returns were dismal--basically zero--and affixed those bills to the top of my roof. The electricity that those bills are generating cuts an actual dollar amount off of my monthly electricity bill. That’s the same as if my bank account generated enough after-tax interest income to pay most of my electricity bill. Projected out over a 20-year life for the panels, the net amount I’m saving on electricity is equal to a 15% annual “dividend” on my investment. Oh yeah, and tax-free. Of course, you don’t have to be retired to take advantage of this tip, but the math works better if you know that you will be living in your house for at least the recoup-your-investment period; in my case that’s eight years. I’m pretty confident I will be living in my house for the next 20 years. If you’re still working, you might not be able to make that call as confidently. Last year we traded in our gas-guzzling car that got about 20 miles per gallon. I say traded in, but we almost had to pay them to take it off our hands. It had nearly 200,000 miles on it and was making some noises that I’m sure would have cost a few thousand bucks to fix. I used the age-old technique of turning up the radio to drown out those noises. But at some point, I knew that wasn’t going to work anymore. With our new car, we’re getting double the mileage, slashing our gas budget by half. That works out to a 4.5% return on our investment. Lower than the solar panels, but still better than I think I’ll earn on the alternatives, at least in the near term. Again this is a tax-free return, so it’s much better than the alternatives. And now that we’re generating most of our own electricity, I might consider a hybrid/electric car when we replace the next one. Two weeks in Australia, two weeks in Montreal, three months in Manhattan, one week in Vermont, four weekends in San Francisco, one weekend in Monterey, and one weekend in Santa Cruz. Total cost of lodging: zero. That’s because we did all of it through home-exchange. I don’t know how much exactly all that lodging would have cost me if I had to pay for it over the last 5 years, but let’s just say it would have run me about $150 per night to be conservative. That’s nearly $20,000 I’ve saved on travel expenses over the last five years. If you remember, when you retire in your 40’s you need about 33 times your projected living expenses to fund your retirement (living expenses that won’t be covered by other income like Social Security.) Which means I would have needed another couple of hundred grand in my nest egg to cover my travel expenses if I were paying for that lodging. For people that want to do a lot of travel in retirement, home-exchange is a great way to do it. It takes a lot of time to arrange this kind of travel. But in retirement, you finally have that time. While we’re on the subject of travel, we’re joining some friends in Thailand next year to help celebrate their milestone birthdays. That’s 21 hours of flight time. We haven’t paid for airline tickets in years, other than for short trips to Vegas or Los Angeles. That’s because we charge almost every dollar we spend on our credit card that earns miles. Since we pay the balance in full each month, it only costs us the $65 annual fee for all our big-ticket air travel: New York, Australia, Montreal—all of it was free. But on our trip to Australia a couple years ago, we learned that free flight isn’t good enough when you’re talking 21 hours of flight time. Free business class is what we’re really after. And we didn’t have enough miles as of last month to do that for Thailand. So what did we do? You know all that stuff that comes in the envelope with your mileage summary statements that you usually throw away? Doug reads it. All of it. So we moved money from one brokerage account to another and earned 100,000 miles. That combined with charging the solar panels put us over the top with miles--free business class both ways. I’m not going to do the math, but that’s about a gazillion percent return on that $65 investment. Ok, back to the expenses that you need to cover with your nest egg, for me, remember 33 times. I, like many people, don’t really enjoy cleaning my house. I like gardening better, but when it’s too hot or too cold I don’t really enjoy that either. But I do both of these tasks myself anyway. Because 33 times those expenses would be another couple of hundred grand I would have needed in the kitty at retirement. Between that and vacation lodging, it really starts to add up, right? Or looked at another way I could have continued to hire people to do those jobs, but then I’d have to give up piano lessons and my clothing budget. Or some of my travel budget. Or all my going-out-to-dinner budget. While we’re on the subject of my going-out-to-dinner budget, I’m probably the only one on the planet that hasn’t used Groupon. But that’s one great way to save on that line item. I do, however, use OpenTable to make all possible dining reservations. The truth is, I hate talking on the phone to make restaurant reservations, I much prefer the Internet. So, I’d make reservations this way even if it didn’t save me money. But after so many reservations, OpenTable sends you money. Well virtual money anyway. Money that you can use to pay the bill at any restaurant that’s on OpenTable. We’ve “earned” several hundred dollars this way. Getting paid to make reservations the way I want to make reservations anyway? There’s no way to calculate that return on investment. Doug has always been good about sending in the little coupons for rebates and class action lawsuits. It always seems like it’s not going to be worth the trouble, but since it’s all Doug’s trouble, it’s worth it to me. The other thing he’s great at is calling companies to get discounts. When our alarm company raised our monthly monitoring charge he called them and they reduced it back. When he sees a charge on the phone bill that he can’t identify, he calls. How many people even look at all those lines on the phone bill? Probably you are paying for some service you don’t even want, believe me. I think they count on the fact that working people are too busy to read those bills, and are definitely too busy to wait on hold for hours to even find out what the charge is. Just last month, we made $200 per person when United Airlines asked us to switch to an earlier flight to New York. And remember, that was a free flight to begin with. Now that means we’ll fly for free to Vegas next month. All because we could be flexible with our flight plans. This one was a tough call for me because we had a variable rate mortgage that never got above 4.75% as long as we held it. When we paid off the mortgage earlier this year the rate was down to 2.875%, which felt like very cheap money to me. But earning a 2.875% guaranteed return on that investment felt compelling, not because of the 2.875% part but the guaranteed part. After watching the market roller coaster of the last several years, guarantee looks especially attractive. Nice work on the solar panels. And well done on paying off the mortgage. That guarantee on the return is far to often overlooked. Paying off the mortgage in 1998 was a big step toward becoming financially independent. I had a 1-year ARM whose interest rate had been climbing throughout the mid-1990s, up to about 8%. Becoming debt-free greatly lowered my monthly expenses and enbled me to start working part-time a few years later, my next big step to FI. Just a point of clarification since I was asked off-line. That return on solar panels is 15% AFTER I recoup my investment. In other words, over 20 years I'll earn back the entire cost of the panels PLUS another 15%/year. Solar panels don't always pay their way. Small systems like mine tend to be less cost-effective. My original panels, installed five years ago, have a nominal payback period of about 33 years. I recently added to the system, to fuel my Nissan LEAF electric car, and the new panels have a payback period of more than fifteen years. And that's not accounting for the time value of money or anything like that. My view is that "people buy less useful toys, do they not?" Over the past year my tiny 2170 watt array produced 105% of the electricity I used to fuel my EV and to run my household. And that has value to me over and above the ROI. So, forget the green eyeshade stuff, it is fun driving on sunpower and skipping the gas stations! So far as paying off a low interest mortgage goes, the problem is that the money tied up in the house is very illiquid: you can't easily get to it if you need it (you can forget about a home equity loan if your financial situation gets difficult). Better to have a $100k mortgage and $100k invested in a conservative portfolio than no mortgage and no money. That said, if you have plenty of other resources to draw on, having no mortgage sure makes life simple. I built my current house after I retired using the proceeds of selling my previous house. I then tried to get a mortgage on it but was denied because my income was too miniscule. Never mind that I would have had enough savings to pay it off several times over. So, like many other retirees, early and otherwise, I enjoy the simplicity of no mortgage to pay and my housing expenses are quite low. But having that money tied up in my house where I can't get at it in an emergency — save for selling the house — isn't good financial planning IMHO. dgp: Well nowadays, you can get solar panels without putting anything down. Everything is gravy. But in the long run you don't save as much on your electricity bills. Still, that's a great option for folks that don't know how long they will be in their current homes. A return on zero down--very good indeed! I agree on the mortgage thing. There was a lot of comfort in having that money in the bank when I first retired (well that and the fact that it was in a CD that made more than my mortgage rate). When the market tumbled, I felt better having that money tied up in a CD rather than in my house. But don't forget, in a pinch, you could get a reverse mortgage. Just be sure to read the fine print. My sister lives in semi-desert country with a lot of sun. They installed solar panels and between the panels fueling their floor heating and wood burning stoves, she hardly has to run the furnace in the winter. Win! This is a terrific post! A penny saved really is two pennies earned, Good for you for reminding readers of this. I'm so glad my husband and I learned this early in our work lives. You've given me some good ideas to apply to my own situation, particularly as it relates to air travel. Thanks again. Thanks for the great advice. My mortgage is at 3.75% -- a much higher rate than I can get on my savings, but still much lower than any other loan I can get . . . except maybe on a car, but I already have a car that gets 30 mpg. Now the home exchange ... that's something I've got to look into. I am not so sure that replacing a current vehicle by buying a fuel efficient vehicle is often a cost savings. If you "run the numbers", buying a new vehicle is usually considerably more expensive than repairing and keeping the older vehicle. For example: You mentioned that the new vehicle gets twice the mileage of the old vehicle (40 mpg vs. 20 mpg). If one drives 1000 miles per month (pretty close to average), at 40 mpg the new vehicle would use 25 gallons of gas per month, and the old vehicle (at 20 mpg) would use 50 gallons of gas per month. Assuming a gas price of $4.00 per gallon (which is higher than it is where I live...about $3.20 around here), that equates to a fuel cost of $200 per month for the old car, and $100 per month for the new car. But, even a more "common" new car likely costs around $22,000 to purchase (obviously, many new cars cost much more). If one figures the cost of a 48 month loan at a 6% interest rate, the “car payment” is $540 per month. Sure, one could buy the car outright, but that negates any investment earnings that the $22,000 could generate. It was mentioned that the old car needed "a few thousand bucks" in repairs. For the sake of discussion, let's say the old car needs $2,000 of repairs every year. Then, the repair bill to keep driving the old car comes to $167 per month ($2,000 divided by 12). Therefore, in "total", the cost of driving the new car (gas plus car payment) comes to $640 per month ($100 plus $540). Over four years, the new car costs $13,104 more to drive than the old car. Not to mention the expense of increased insurance premiums to cover a newer, more expensive car. And not to mention the depreciation involved with a new car. With 200,000 miles on it, the old car is pretty much fully depreciated now. Obviously, my figures could be flawed, and there are other considerations. A new car might have better safety features. It is no fun having to take a car to a repair shop. The new car has that "new car smell"...and there are other intangible benefits to driving a new car. But, as a friend of mine who is pretty financially adept recently said: "I am going to drive my older car until the wheels fall off, then I am going have the wheels put back on and drive it some more". Steel: We pretty much drove the car until the wheels fell off (in the case of one repair, almost literally). The last 6 years ownership it was like roulette--sometimes one repair a year sometimes two. Each time we said "it's cheaper than getting a new car." To the tune of $14k in its last 6 years, and escalating each visit. That's pretty close to the cost of a new car, and in only 6 years. Probably we should have pulled the trigger earlier, but it's hard to know until hindsight. The problem is you don't know how quickly the next repair is going to come down the pike. You think, oh this will last for a few more years now, only to find out you need to sink another couple of grand in 6 months later! You have to take into consideration the cost of repairs on a particular model--our old one was a fortune to repair. I'm hoping the Toyota will be cheaper to keep alive in it's older years. I that case it would make sense to keep it going even longer. Wow, great job! We're trying to be more efficient too. Our utility bill is only about $50/month so it's not worth it at this point to try too hard. Our car gets mid 20s mpg so that could improve a lot. Once we drove this one to the ground, we'll get a more efficient vehicle. Well syd, sorry I've not replied lately. New computer and all that.(talk about cars wearing out)Solar panels sound nice but after I crunched the numbers it wouldn't pay for us. We use natural gas for a lot of things. Cars? I have one in my near future. Some kind of Subaru station wagon. The Toyota truck is getting old and worn out like myself. Gas mileage was a concern five years ago when I retired but a funny thing happen in those five years I realized I cut my mileage by 60% a year. Because I save "cash" I'll be able to write a check for that new Subaru. We haven't had a mortgage in ten years. To sum up my life style "I live as a poor man with lots of money"
The very compound that makes the birch “shine bright white” has been tentatively linked to treatment for such devastating human ailments as some melanomas or cancer, several forms of herpes and even for AIDS. Betulin, a powdery substance in the outer bark of the birch tree, has been shown to help wounds heal faster and cut inflammation. Many cosmetic companies, touting it as a skin toner and restorer, add birch bark extract to various products. And a birch bark compound, betulinic acid, is being tested as a treatment for melanoma and other serious diseases. During the last twenty years the department of pharmacognosy and botany of Irkutsk State Medical University deals with the study of the effects of a birch /Betula pendula Roth./ on the vital activity of man. It is known since ancient times that white part of birch bark possesses the antiseptic properties: birch bark is applied to wounds for faster healing, tar and activated carbon is made also from it. Ancient Russian medical manual, recommending birch for treating the purulent wounds, the prolongedly unhealing ulcers, advises: "so that the rotten meat from the ulcer was eaten away, ground birch crust should be poured into the rotten wound ". Rim made of the white part of birch bark "removes" headache.It is possible to say that in nature there is no other tree, so many parts of which (crust, leaves, buds, juice, wood and phytopathogenic parasitic fungus - chaga), so frequently were used in folk medicine. Scientists Tulchinskaya and Yurgelaytis report, that in the air of birch forests are noted 400 microbes into 1 cubic meter, what is lower than the existing standard for the operating rooms in hospitals. Especially successfully (in 3-10 min) the bactericides of white part of birch bark manage to eliminate pathogens of typhoid fever, tuberculosis and diphtheria. Unique therapeutic properties are given to white part of birch bark BETULIN - substance from the class of triterpenoids (triterpenovy diatomic alcohol of lupan). White part of birch bark remains white even, when tree completely rotted. The stability to harmful microflora white part of birch bark is obliged precisely to betulin. The studies, carried out during recent years, showed that THE BETULIN possesses the valuable pharmacological properties: antioxidant, antitumorigenic, antigipoksantnym, gepatoprotektornym, antiviral, immunomodulator, antibacterial, that regenerate, antipyretic, bile-expelling. Betulinic acid has been explored as a potential treatment for skin cancer for more than a decade. Betulin, its derivatives and other birch bark compounds also are being tested for effectiveness in treating HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which can cause severe cold-like symptoms and pneumonia. In the white part of birch bark there are other medical substances: betulinic acid, b- sitosterol, flavonoids, lupeleol and other.Examinations conducted, in Russian institute of pharmacology, showed that the complex of substances forming part of white part of birch bark possesses high antimutagenic activity, capable of lowering the number of mutations in the chromosomes and the genes, the frequency of the appearance of hereditary changes in the organism. The antimutagenic action of the substances of white part of birch bark is connected with their capability for the suppression of free-radical oxidation, and in the ability of white part of birch bark to induce the production of interferons, which, as it’s known, positively influence the processes of reparation of DNA.The substances, contained in white part of birch bark contribute to the decrease of hypoxia and to increase of the stability of organism to the oxygen deficiency, being antihypoxant correcting the metabolism of cells. Treatment of liver diseases is directed, mainly, to protect the cells of the liver from the damages by different chemical substances. Together with the radiation therapy and the surgery, in the therapy of the tumor pathology, the important component of treatment and rehabilitation of patients appears to be application of medicinal plants. The unique biological activity of the substances of those isolated by white part of birch bark contributes to the decrease of toxic action of chemo- and radiation therapy on the organism. The antioxidant activity of white part of birch bark is connected with its direct effect on the ferments of the antioxidant protection, whose basic functional role consists of the decomposition of organic peroxides, first of all - peroxides of lipids, which play paramount role in the disturbance of the normal structure of biological membranes. Substances forming white parts of birch bark possess the high gepatoprotektornoy and detoxifying activity, inducing the ferments of the rendering safe system of the liver, it normalizes bile secretion, reduces cholesterol level in the blood. Statistics testifies that in the regions, where white part of birch bark is traditionally used in household articles such as caskets, boxes and ducts for storing food products, people longevity and low index of oncologic diseases was recorded.So it is highly remmended to drink and eat from beresta made kitchen ware. meters download Obie Fernandez and a substance of including applications differ the many Rails 3 API, not with the studies, program systems, and materials that reveal processing terms with Rails badly worth. report histories are, storing how to capture Rails 3 to suit your constraints.

For New­town ac­tivists, the call for gun-safety laws is an all-too-fre­quent ap­peal for na­tional ac­tion that has failed to bring sig­nif­i­cant changes since the 2012 shoot­ing of 20 first-graders and six ed­u­ca­tors at Sandy Hook School. But some­thing changed last week that has both sides of the gun-pol­icy de­bate here ex­pect­ing more move­ment on fed­eral gun safety leg­is­la­tion in 2019. The ma­jor­ity that vot­ers gave Democrats in the U.S. House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives on Tuesday means a se­ries of gun-vi­o­lence-pre­ven­tion mea­sures could be ad­vanced in 2019, in­clud­ing uni­ver­sal back­ground checks and a ban on as­sault ri­fles. Ni­cole Hock­ley, mother of a 6-year-old boy killed in the Sandy Hook El­e­men­tary School shoot­ings, was quick to point out it’s un­cer­tain what the dis­po­si­tion will be in the Repub­li­can­con­trolled Se­nate and “I be­lieve the House will put for­ward lots of mea­sure about ac­cess and gun safety and men­tal health, but I don’t know how the Se­nate will re­spond,” said Hock­ley, a co-founder and man­ag­ing di­rec­tor of the non­profit Sandy Hook Prom­ise. “But I think we are see­ing a lot more pres­sure on Congress from around the coun­try for Amer­i­cans to do some­thing mean­ing­ful to stop this epi­demic of gun vi­o­lence.” In that spirit, the New­town-based trade as­so­ci­a­tion for the firearms in­dus­try said Fri­day it wel­comes mea­sures to keep guns away from chil­dren, crim­i­nals, the dan­ger­ously men­tally ill and those who can­not be trusted to han­dle firearms safely and re­spon­si­bly. “We will eval­u­ate any leg­is­la­tion in­tro­duced through that prism,” said Michael Bazinet, a spokesman for the 12,000-mem­ber Na­tional Shoot­ing Sports Foun­da­tion, adding leg­is­la­tion would have to sup­port the Sec­ond Amend­ment rights of Amer­i­cans. In March, both or­ga­ni­za­tions praised bills signed by Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump that closed re­port­ing loop­holes in the na­tional firearms back­ground check sys­tem and that pro­vided $100 mil­lion in grants for vi­o­lence-pre­ven­tion pro­grams, such as those run by Sandy Hook Prom­ise. The midterm elec­tion of Ja­hana Hayes as the 5th District’s new con­gress­woman, along with a wave of Democrats who ran on plat­forms to pass gun­vi­o­lence-pre­ven­tion laws, will have Sec­ond Amend­ment ac­tivists watch­ing closely. “Those con­gres­sional electees have won some power back,” said Scott Wil­son, pres­i­dent of the 30,000-mem­ber Con­necti­cut Cit­i­zens De­fense League. “Hope­fully, they will have dis­cus­sions that can im­prove safety with­out im­pact­ing on le­gal gun own­ers.” Wil­son, whose group en­dorsed Hayes’ GOP op­po­nent Manny San­tos, said the sus­pect in Wed­nes­day’s shoot­ing in Cal­i­for­nia was first and fore­most a law­breaker whose crime could not have been an­tic­i­pated and pre­vented by leg­is­la­tion. The sus­pect, a dec­o­rated for­mer Ma­rine iden­ti­fied as Ian David Long, was ac­cused of mur­der­ing 12 peo­ple with a Glock hand­gun at a col­lege bar in Thousand Oaks, and then killing him­self. The leader of the non­profit New­town Ac­tion Al­liance dis­agreed, say­ing now is the time for gun­vi­o­lence-pre­ven­tion leg­is­la­tion, in­clud­ing back­ground checks on all gun sales and rais­ing the min­i­mum age for gun sales to “We have learned that if a mass shoot­ing can hap­pen in an el­e­men­tary school in Sandy Hook, then it can hap­pen any­where,” said Po Mur­ray, chair of the New­town Ac­tion Al­liance, in a state­ment. “Un­til the fed­eral govern­ment puts pub­lic safety first by pass­ing a set of com­pre­hen­sive gun-con­trol laws, more and more Amer­i­cans ev­ery­where will be killed or in­jured.” “Ja­hana made the need for gun re­form a ma­jor com­po­nent of her cam­paign, ab­so­lutely,” An­drew Doba said.

He was born on September 20, 1996 at the Wisconsin Regional Primate Research Center (WRPRC) on the campus of the University of Wisconsin, Madison. cj0453 was killed on June 8, 2001. cj0453 was used experimentally even before he was born. His father was cj0020 and his biological mother was cj0019. But cj0065 was the female who gave birth to him. When cj0453 was an embryo, he was transferred from his real mother to the surrogate mother. Free-living common marmosets live in social groups and share childcare responsibilities. Usually, only one female in a group is fertile. Marmosets have specialized dietary needs. An important part of their diet is tree sap. A group’s home range is centered on an area with a concentration of sap, or gum, producing trees. A typical group of marmosets, of between one and two dozen animals, needs fifty gum producing trees in their territory. It may be this dietary requirement, unable to be duplicated accurately in a laboratory, that accounts for the chronic digestive problems associated with the marmosets held in captivity in the nation’s primate labs. The experts at WRPRC treated him with antibiotics, but nothing really worked. When the medication stopped, his bloody, watery diarrhea returned. Free-living monkeys have the opportunity to flee from aggressive group members. Monkeys in cages do not. cj0453 was wounded so badly that part of his tail had to be amputated. cj0453 was sick from the day he was born, but this did not exempt him from being subjected to various experiments. David Abbott, a vivisector at WRPRC, used cj0453 in at least two studies. He was, apparently, subjected to large blood draws, and was given fluid and iron to help him recover. When cj0453 was autopsied, it was noted: “Lymphocytic enteritis is a common lesion in marmosets from this colony.” In English, this means that inflamed bowels are common in the marmosets locked away in the Wisconsin labs. The fact that scientists, who do nothing but experiment on monkeys, are unable to cure common monkey diseases, is a compelling argument that they will be even less likely to offer hope for humans. cj0453’s life was one of misery. His suffering and death did nothing other than offer writing material for David Abbott, who in turn, has done nothing other than bring in money to WRPRC and the University of Wisconsin. Monkeys like cj0453 have the right to be left alone. We have the right to see our tax dollars spent more wisely. cj0453's story would never have been made public without the efforts of his advocate, Jenny Gifford of Centerburg, Ohio.

Charlie Rose often conducts fantastic interviews, he hosts four experts in an hour long interview that you can watch for free: The “a Calorie Counter” site came up with this catchy and interesting analysis of the worst fast food joints as determined by the worst trans fat offenders (hat tip to Big Picture). As the post states – “The absolute worst ingredient your food could possibly contain is trans fat. Maybe you’ve heard of it? ” The top offenders, ranked by the numbers of times they appeared in the top 88, were: Currently, everyone knows that the US is the leading fast food market in the world as you can see in the below graphic from WorldMapper (via Creative Class). The scary thing about this picture is that it is apparently sourced from a McDonald’s campaign absurdly and insultingly called “One World – One Taste“, which begs the question of whether some fast food chains are engaging in a type of food genocide. The fact that the US is the largest market, only means that so called emerging markets represent a largely untapped source of growth for various chains. The growth will be explosive, India alone is witnessing 40% growth in this area (via Siliconeer, search for “fast food” on this page). We did a previous post on obesity in developing countries that you can see for more sources along with the WHO page on this issue… For additional fast food facts you can check out the Yale’s Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, here are some select ones: The latest issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association has a commentary by “members of Universities Allied for Essential Medicines (UAEM) outlining policy changes universities must adopt in order to advance global health.”Check it out… Poor air quality after California fires safer than indoor air from biomass-burning in low-income countries A Berkeley school of public health prof recently posted to the SPH listserv a great NASA link to high altitude photos of the southern California fires. You can click through several days worth of pics and see what conditions were like prior to the fires as well as tell when the winds kicked up as they carried dust plumes in areas unaffected by fire (for instance Oct 22nd). The point the prof made was that as bad as the air is there, the particulate matter density of 200-300 micrograms per cubic meter (10x greater than average figures for US cities) is still less than the levels typically seen in biomass-burning homes in the developing world. More efficient, hotter burning charcoal stoves are one immediate solution to indoor particulate matter (i.e. soot) in low-income homes. In Uganda for instance, Kampala residents use a huge amount of charcoal (my own estimate…) every day. The city’s air, not to mention the air in individual homes, has a great deal of suspended soot – you can easily smell it across the city during the peak cooking hours. Venture Strategies for Health and Development in Berkeley, together with an innovative Kampala for-profit stove manufacturer, are marketing the hotter burning stoves through targeted subsidies financed in part with carbon credits. Perhaps one silver lining to the devastation in southern California will be greater awareness of the importance of high air quality. Which single intervention would do the most to improve health of those living on less than $1 a day? The public library open access journal Medicine asked this question to leading experts across a wide variety of domains. There certainly is no consensus answer: “PLoS Medicine is participating in a global theme issue on poverty and human development on October 22, 2007 (http://www.councilscienceeditors.org/globalthemeissue.cfm). Over 200 scientific and medical journals are taking part. For our theme issue, we asked a wide variety of commentators worldwide—including clinicians, medical researchers, health reporters, policy makers, health activists, and development experts—to name the single intervention that they think would improve the health of those living in poverty. We also asked four individuals living in poor, rural agricultural communities in the Santillana district, province of Huanta, Ayacucho, Peru to give us their response to the question, “What do you think would do the most to improve your health and the health of your family?” Its great to see a generally conservative business magazine discussing positive, successful global health efforts in Africa. Forbes has 3 very recent pieces that are worth skimming. Again, this is yet another indication of increasing convergence of the social and business sectors that we had previously profiled (trends in global health coverage by the business press). Western do-gooders are pouring billions of dollars into ontrolling malaria, AIDS and other killers ravaging the world’s poorest continent. Now comes the hard part…Some of what sub-Saharan Africa needs is new technology, like a malaria vaccine. But what’s needed most, particularly in Africa, is better logistics. “The hardest truth for people to come to terms with is that the practical solutions are already out there, but they are not being applied…Donors always want to do something new. The simple things aren’t so glamorous.” Full story How do you get basic care to the remotest villages in Africa? One clever idea is to borrow tactics from retail chains like McDonald’s and Subway–operate an easy-to-replicate, owner-operated franchise system focusing on health care.With a budget of under $1 million a year, HealthStore Foundation subsidizes nurses in rural areas to run 65 for-profit retail clinics in Kenya that provide basic treatments for malaria, respiratory infections and worms. Nurses pay about $300 to buy a clinic, and sell medicines for a modest profit at a retail price of $1. The 65 clinics run under the name CFW Shops and treated 400,000 patients last year. Many are run by retired nurses lured back to work by the prospect of owning their own business.

But, what is more important, is striving for a sustainable life. A sustainable life requires present sacrifice, but reaps more rewards in the long term than you could ever imagine. A sustainable life needs you to think about not just what you want to do today, but what you will want in the future, and taking care of those needs. It’s a form of self-care that transcends time, and surges through our present-bias, to care for ourselves in a way that returns a different kind of inner peace. In this way, what we do today carries significant weight. We lay the groundwork, the foundation, every morning we wake up and begin our tasks for the day; the wakening of our muscles from stone, the importance of measures we take or decisions we make. In this sense, it’s important to refrain from the rustle and hustle of the crowd, but rather listen to what you believe your future-self would want to see, feel and experience. It’s a process, and this doesn’t mean you harm yourself for not being where you want to be today. It just means you invest in taking little measures, slowly but surely, and – most importantly – consistently, to get there.

We also have self-ligating and invisible braces, plus the classic metal braces. Since each mouth is different, it is difficult to determine how long you will have to wear them. It depends on what your mouth needs, what type of braces we choose, and how your mouth responds to treatment. Usually treatment takes around twenty-two months, though some people can reach their results within six months, while others take up to thirty months. It is important that you always remember to brush and floss your teeth. You need to brush your teeth after every meal and floss at least once a day. When brushing, you should use a toothpaste containing fluoride to help prevent cavities. If you wear a retainer, it is important to take care of it. Whenever you remove it, you need to place it gently into its container so it does not get lost or broken. You also need to keep it clean. You should brush your retainer gently. If it seems really dirty, you can soak it in denture cleaner. You should never put it in boiling water or run it through the dishwasher. When you are being treated, you should avoid foods with lots of sugar. Sugar often increases the amount of bacteria in your mouth and increases the likelihood of developing more cavities. You also need to avoid sticky, chewy, and hard foods. These will get stuck in your braces. Also, while you are being treated, it is still important to continue to visit your regular dentist every six months so that your mouth and gums stay healthy. It is important to brush your teeth at least three times a day to keep your mouth healthy and clean. You need to make sure that you get out any food that is stuck in your braces. All you need to do to schedule an appointment is call us. We will be happy to help you find a convenient time to come into our office. If you are a new client, welcome. Just let us know that you are being referred to us as a new client, and we would be happy to help you with everything that you need to know.

Experiments were conducted in Bilaspur city to study the effects of irrigating wheat (Tritium aestivum, L.) with sewage water (Treatment) and with tube (control) alone on wheat growth and grain yield. Wheat irrigated with sewage water produced taller plants, more long roots, more leaves and more tillers than did wheat grown with only tube well water. The data reveals that aboveground biomass, below ground biomass, total biomass and root/ shoot ratio was greater at the sewage irrigated sites than that at the tube well irrigated site. The data also reveals that numbers of ear head per plant, number of grains per ear head, weight of seeds, length and diameter of seeds, the grain yield and straw yield per hectare also more at the site with sewage irrigation than at the site with tube well water irrigation.

Disorder: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - Children's Mental Health Services/REACH, Minnesota. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder About the Disorder Children who are involved in or who witness a traumatic event that involved intense fear, helplessness, or horror are at risk for developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The event is usually a situation where someone's life has been threatened or severe injury has occurred, such as a serious accident, abuse, violence, or a natural disaster. In some cases, the 'event' may be a re-occurring trauma, such as continuing domestic violence. After the event, children may initially be agitated or confused. Students with PTSD often have persistent frightening thoughts and memories of the experience. PTSD is diagnosed if the symptoms last more than 1 month. A combination of treatment approaches is often used for PTSD. Support from family, school, friends, and peers can be an important part of recovery for children with PTSD. Trauma model of mental disorders. Trauma models of mental disorders (alternatively called trauma models of psychopathology) emphasize the effects of psychological trauma, particularly in early development, as the key causal factor in the development of some or many psychiatric disorders, or a vulnerability for depression and anxiety,[1] in addition to trauma as an adult as in posttraumatic stress disorder. In the 1960s trauma models also became associated with humanist and anti-psychiatry approaches, particularly in regard to understanding schizophrenia and the role of the family. [unreliable medical source?] History[edit] Rape trauma syndrome. Rape trauma syndrome (RTS) is the psychological trauma experienced by a rape victim that includes disruptions to normal physical, emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal behavior. The theory was first described by psychiatrist Ann Wolbert Burgess and sociologist Lynda Lytle Holmstrom in 1974.[1] RTS is a cluster of psychological and physical signs, symptoms and reactions common to most rape victims immediately following and for months or years after a rape.[2] While most research into RTS has focused on female victims, sexually abused males (whether by male or female perpetrators) also exhibit RTS symptoms.[3][4] RTS paved the way for consideration of complex post-traumatic stress disorder, which can more accurately describe the consequences of serious, protracted trauma than posttraumatic stress disorder alone.[5] The symptoms of RTS and Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome overlap. Common stages of RTS[edit] Is Trauma Genetic? Scientists Say Parents Are Passing PTSD to Kids. Traditionally, psychiatrists have cited family dynamics to explain the vicarious traumatization of the second generation. Children may absorb parents’ psychic burdens as much by osmosis as from stories. They infer unspeakable abuse and losses from parental anxiety or harshness of tone or clinginess—parents whose own families have been destroyed may be unwilling to let their children grow up and leave them. Parents may tell children that their problems amount to nothing compared with what they went through, which has a certain truth to it, but is crushing nonetheless. “Transgenerational transmission is when an older person unconsciously externalizes his traumatized self onto a developing child’s personality,” in the words of psychiatrist and psychohistorian Vamik Volkan. “A child then becomes a reservoir for the unwanted, troublesome parts of an older generation.” But daunting as this research is to contemplate, it is also exciting. So it is important to remember. What is Relational Trauma? - Jay Reid Psychotherapy Blog. A lot of people think of trauma as belonging to survivors of war, car accidents, crime, or natural disasters. While this is certainly true, there is a more subtle type of trauma that has likely visited and impacted many more people – relational trauma. In this case, the trauma occurs within a relationship that is needed by the victim. Children need their parents. However, a child can be relationally traumatized when the very same people he depends upon to survive are the people who make him feel unsafe or deprived. The child is forced to solve this dilemma usually by denying the reality of his trauma in favor of preserving the relationship to the parents. What is trauma? Trauma is complicated, layered and often cumulative in nature. It may stem from medical/health diagnosis and procedures, accidents, robbery, war as well as natural disasters, or it can be inflicted on us by another human being. This includes incidents of harm on our person or body, including domestic violence, sexual abuse, bullying, abandonment and physical neglect. Importantly, even the perception of threat may be adequate in causing a traumatic reaction to develop. Simply put, trauma occurs when we or our survival become threatened, or when the circumstances we face cause our survival instincts to come online. "After all, when a stone is dropped into a pond, the water continues quivering even after the stone has sunk to the bottom. " Spectrum Recovery Solutions. Trauma can be simply understood as hurt or harm to the body or the mind, or both. We all experience traumas, and most of us have sufficient resilience, the ability to bounce back from stress, to be able to cope and to heal from the traumas we experience. Sometimes, though, the hurt or the harm overwhelms a person’s ability to cope and move on. This kind of trauma has lasting effects on the person, and their future ability to cope with stress is diminished. Physical traumas usually heal, and a scar may be the only evidence of that past wound. But psychological trauma can be difficult to see and often leaves invisible emotional scars. Traumatic experiences often involve a threat to life or safety, but any situation that leaves you feeling overwhelmed and alone can be traumatic, even if it doesn’t involve physical harm.

Sometimes when people experience very frightening or distressing events they may be psychologically wounded. Everyone’s reaction is different, but most people who experience a potentially traumatic event will recover well with the help of family and friends and will not experience any long-term problems. For others, this psychological wound might mean they have difficulty coping or functioning the way they used to. Symptoms may appear immediately after the event, or not at all. Sometimes, people will experience distress some time after the event. What are traumatic events?

Trauma is a near universal experience. The Adverse Childhood Experiences study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Kaiser Permanente, is one of the largest investigations ever conducted to assess associations between childhood maltreatment and later-life health and wellbeing. Almost two-thirds of the study participants reported at least one adverse childhood experience of physical or sexual abuse, neglect, or family dysfunction, and more than one of five reported three or more such experiences. An individual’s experience of trauma impacts every area of human functioning — physical, mental, behavioral, social, spiritual. The ACE Study revealed that the economic costs of untreated trauma-related alcohol and drug abuse alone were estimated at $161 billion in 2000. The human costs are incalculable. What is Trauma? - Art Therapy Buffalo. What is Trauma? “Trauma” is like no other experience. While historically it was defined as something out of the “normal” realm of human experience, today we understand that trauma is much more complex and that it deserves an expanded definition. Unfortunately for many, traumatic or adverse life experiences can happen repeatedly. What is Trauma Bonding? One thing often asked by those in the helping profession when confronted with a person in an unhealthy relationship is, “Why do you stay?” This question has implications of weakness and failure on the part of the victim and usually causes shame. Rather than asking this question of a victim of abuse, it is best for a counselor to understand the concept of trauma bonding, and explain it to the individual who seems “stuck” in a bad relationship. Trauma bonding is loyalty to a person who is destructive. While the idea of bonding tends to bring up connotations of something good and beneficial, trauma bonds are unhealthy. According to Patrick Carnes, in his book, Betrayal Bonds, there are a number of signs that a person is involved in an unhealthy bond with a partner or other significant person. Usually trauma bonds occur in relationships involving inconsistent reinforcement, such as those with addicts and alcoholics or in domestic violence situations. What Is Trauma? Emotions and memories are stored in the body. We can try to forget, we can try to put it all behind us, but our bodies won't let us get away with that. This does not mean we need to sit and retell horrific stories repeatedly, rehashing painful details. However, it does mean that integration and processing needs to happen somehow in order for healing to take place. I feel it's important not to push someone into talking about something they're not feeling ready to talk about, and that starting where someone is, right in the present moment is usually the best place to start. We can work on healing the past in the present moment, on creating a sense of stability and safety right now. What is tf cbt en us. Australian Psychological Society : Understanding and managing psychological trauma. << Return to Tip Sheet index The word ‘trauma' is derived from the Greek term for ‘wound'. Very frightening or distressing events may result in a psychological wound or injury - a difficulty in coping or functioning normally following a particular event or experience. Everyone's reaction is different, but most people who experience a potentially traumatic event will recover well with the help of family and friends and will not experience any long-term problems. If people do develop problems, they may appear directly after the traumatic event or they may not emerge until much later. What is a potentially traumatic event? Potentially traumatic events are powerful and upsetting incidents that intrude into daily life. The same event may have little impact on one person but cause severe distress in another individual. Trauma-Informed Approach and Trauma-Specific Interventions. Trauma-Informed Approach According to SAMHSA’s concept of a trauma-informed approach, “A program, organization, or system that is trauma-informed: Realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery;Recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system;Responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices; andSeeks to actively resist re-traumatization. " A trauma-informed approach can be implemented in any type of service setting or organization and is distinct from trauma-specific interventions or treatments that are designed specifically to address the consequences of trauma and to facilitate healing.

I randomly listened to Metallica’s One on the way up, which was inspired by Dalton Trumbo’s anti-war novel Johnny Got His Gun. I first read that book when I was in middle school and it inspired me to declare myself a pacifist. Both that experience and Paths have me thinking about the role that militarism plays in our culture and society, especially considering the online row that has resulted from William Arkin’s item at the Washington Post Online, “The Troops Also Need to Support the American People.” In his 1995 book Hot Air, Howard Kurtz wrote that “Imus’ sexist homophobic, and politically incorrect routines echo what many journalists joke about in private. ‘” “Later, host Don Imus brought up McGuirk’s prior impersonations of African-American poet Maya Angelou asking, “[W]ho was that woman you used to do, the poet? . . . We used to get in all that trouble every time you’d do her. ” As McGuirk launched into the impersonation, Imus said, ‘I don’t need any more columns. Come on. ‘ But Imus did not stop McGuirk, who delivered his impression in verse: McGUIRK: Whitey plucked you from the jungle for too many years. They took away your pride, your dignity, and your spears With freedom came new woes. Into whitey’s world you was rudely cast. So wake up now and go to work? You can kiss my big black ass” What began as a firestorm against Don Imus’ remarks against the members of Rutgers women’s basketball team ended, thanks to Imus’ friends, who controlled a bogus “National Dialogue About Race,” with a referendum on Gangsta Rap and the morals of Revs. Sharpton and Jackson. By Monday, April 16, appearing on CNN, an all Imus buddy panel, including John Roberts, Paul Begala, and James Carville, engaged in a tribute to Imus. All that was needed were champagne glasses. On the same day John Roberts and his colleague, Wolf Blitzer, described the murder of 31 students at Virginia Tech as “the worst massacre in American history”–ignoring mass killings of blacks and Indians that had been far worse. Moreover, the fact that the shooter Cho Seung-Hui, was a fan of Guns N’ Roses–he named a play, “Mr. Brownstone,” after one of the band’s songs–didn’t inspire the 24/7 castigation of white Heavy Metal music that was dealt to Hip Hop music in the wake of Don Imus’ firing. The President of NBC News, Steve Capus, was disingenuous when he claimed that Don Imus, the shock jock, was fired solely because employees at NBC were outraged at Imus’ description of the members of the Rutgers women’s basketball team as “Nappy Headed Hos.” That might have been part of it. But it was the multibillion dollar purchasing power of African-Americans and organizations like the National Association of Black Journalists, a more difficult target for Imus’ fans than Sharpton and Jackson, that gave the African-American community its greatest victory against a racist media that have been its bane since the first slave ships arrived. Before television and radio, it was the newspapers alone that raised lynch mobs on African-Americans. In Charles Chesnutt’s novels, The Marrow of Tradition (1901) and The Colonel’s Dream (1905), the villains are newspaper men. The inflammatory coverage of one led to a lynching. The other editor caused a race riot. A book, The Betrayal of the Negro by Rayford Whittingham Logan, indicts some of the nation’s most prestigious newspapers for inciting civil strife during the 20th Century, based upon malicious and false reporting. The “National Dialogue” that MSNBC held after the Imus outburst about the Rutgers team was a telling example of this historic trend. The so-called “dialogue” was dominated mostly by white talking heads, including white women, who seem to be prospering at MSNBC, receiving as much airtime as the men. (Even so, Gloria Steinem maintained, in a recent New York Times op-ed, that white middle-class women and blacks share the same social predicament. Really? The college enrollment of white women is higher than that of both white men and blacks.) Instead of the opinions of black academic feminists like bell hooks, Michele Wallace, Sandra O’Neale, Paula Giddings, Joyce Joyce, or Sonia Sanchez being solicited to comment about Imus’ remarks, Naomi Wolfe, a white feminist, whom bell hooks has criticized, spoke on behalf of black women. It’s fortunate that the money people at General Motors and Bigalow Tea, Direct TV, Ameritrade, Staples, Sprint, American Express and Proctor and Gamble, stepped in, because had they not Imus’ groupies at MSNBC, like his pals, Mike Barnicle, David Gregory, Bo Dietal, the author of a vicious anti-Muslim tirade during Imus’ last weeks, and Joe Scarborough, would have rescued their buddy by following their leader’s talking points. (Keith Olbermann reported that Dietal was even reprimanded by rightwing fixer Dick Morris for using Barack Obama’s middle name, Hussein, to make even more anti- Muslim comments.) Imus griped that he was a victim of the African-American male culture, where, according to a man who has a lengthy record of making misogynist remarks, men mistreat women. Yet a recent SUNY study reveals a different reality: white men commit most of the assaults upon women in this country. According to the study conducted by Lois Weiss, professor of education at the University of Buffalo, and Michelle Fine, professor of social psychology in the Graduate Center at the City University of New York, white women are afraid to talk about the abuse. Weiss and Fine found that 92 percent of the white women interviewed said that “serious domestic violence” had been directed against them, their mothers and/or sisters, either in their birth households or in later relationships. By comparison, 62 percent of black female subjects reported similar levels of violence in their lives. The authors of the study said that they were surprised because these were white women largely from middle class homes. On the other hand, there has been a steady reduction in the murder of black women by their husbands and boyfriends, while the murder rate of women by white men has remained about the same. One of the reasons for the falling rate of domestic abuse among blacks is that black women are more likely to retaliate. This drop in black domestic violence has been reported in The New York Times, yet the face of domestic violence in the pages of the Times continues to be painted black. Do you suppose that MSNBC will ever conduct a “National Dialogue” about white domestic violence? Maybe Newsweek? One of its writers, Evan Thomas, recently told Imus’ audience that black men in the inner city enjoy beating up their women.
Lakhimpur Kheri is the largest district in Uttar Pradesh, India, on the border with Nepal. Its administrative capital is the city of Lakhimpur. Lakhimpur Kheri district is a part of Lucknow division, with a total area of 7,680 square kilometres (2,970 sq mi). The national government designated Lakhimpur Kheri as a Minority Concentrated District on the basis of 2001 census data, which identifies it as requiring urgent aid to improve living standards and amenities. A 2010 survey published by the Ministry of Urban Development placed Lakhimpur as the second lowest ranking city in India in terms of sanitation. Dudhwa National Park, is in Lakhimpur Kheri and is the only national park in Uttar Pradesh It is home to a large number of rare and endangered species including tigers, leopards, swamp deer, hispid hares and Bengal floricans. Kheri is a town 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from Lakhimpur. It has the name derived from a tomb built over the remains of Saiyid Khurd, who died in 1563. Pre-independence the tomb was administered under Act XX of 1856, with an income of about 800.Another theory suggests that the name derives from the khair trees that once covered large tracts in the area. Traditions point to the inclusion of this place under the rule of the Lunar race of Hastinapur, and several places are associated with episodes in the Mahabharata. Many villages contain ancient mounds in which fragments of sculpture have been found, Balmiar-Barkhar and Khairlgarh being the most remarkable. A stone horse was found near Khairabad and bears the inscription of Samudra Gupta, dated in the 4thcentury. Samudra Gupta, King of Magadha performed Ashvamedha yajna in which a horse is left to freely roam in the entire nation, so as to display the power of king and to underline the importance of his conquest. The stone replica of the horse, is now in the Lucknow Museum. The district is within the Terai lowlands at the base of the Himalayas, with several rivers and lush green vegetation.

[This book is fiction and no resemblance to actual events, persons or locations is intended or should be inferred.] I love life so fiercely, so desperately, that nothing good can come of it: I mean the physical facts of life, the sun, the grass, youth. It's a much more terrible vice than cocaine, it costs me nothing, and there is an endless abundance of it, with no limits: and I devour, devour. How it will end, I don't know. --Pasolini I can't remember much of what anything was like, only how it started. No lights, no weather. From now on everything is in a room somewhere in Europe, a room. A series of rooms, a series of cities: cold, ancient cities: Northern European cities: gray, with old light: somber but the gray dances: old beauty, muted grandeur, monumental grace. Rembrandt, Brueghel. Mid-European and Northern winters, light. Old cruelties, not nouveau. On the surface he was a clown. He had the face of a great comic actor. It moved in parts, in sections, the scalp in one direction, the nose forward, the chin somewhere else, the features bigger than life. A unique face, completely distinct, in no way handsome, outside that realm of discourse altogether. Someday he would be beautiful or ugly, depending on his life. Now he was alternately filled with light or sadness, with great jokes and huge gestures or his body seemingly shriveled down to a heap of bones by inexplicable grief, the skin around the bones sagging loose or gone. He was a wild man: long, stringy blond hair; afghan coat making him into some wild mountain creature; prominent, pointed, narrow, but graceful nose; a laugh that went the distance from deep chuckle to shrill hysteria, and back each calibrated niche of possibility, and walls shivered. The youth gathered in huge buildings set aside for dissipation. Inside we were indulged. The huge rooms were painted garish colors. There were garish murals. Political and cultural radicals were kept inside, tamed, self-important, it was the revolution: big black balls of hashish and rock 'n' roll. Inside there was this figure of a man, all brassy on the outside, and inside impotent and ready to die. I took his life in my hands to save him. I took his face in my hands, I kissed him. I took his body to save him from despair. A suffering man: a compassionate woman: the impersonal love of one human for another, sex the vehicle of redemption: you hear about it all the time. Isn't that what we are supposed to do? ***** It doesn't matter where it was, but it was there, in a huge mass of rooms painted in glaring colors: rock music blaring, often live, old-time porno films--Santa coming down a chimney--projected on the walls, boys throwing huge balls of hashish across the room, playing catch. Cigarettes were rolled from loose tobacco in papers: so was grass: so was a potent mixture of hashish and tobacco, what I liked. I got good at it. You put together three cigarette papers with spit and rolled a little filter from a match cover, just a piece of it, and put down a layer of loose tobacco, and then you heated the hash over a lit match until it got all soft and crumbly, and then you crumbled it between your fingers until there was a nice, thick layer of it over the tobacco, and you sort of mixed them together gently with your fingers, and then you rolled it up, so that it was narrow on the end with the filter and wider at the bottom, and with a match, usually burnt, you packed the mixture in the papers at the bottom, and brought the papers together and closed it up. Then you lit it and smoked. It went round and round. The boys had long, long hair. There were only a few junkies, a little hard dope, not a lot of stealing, very congenial: music: paint: philosophy. There were philosophers everywhere and artistes. One was going to destroy the museum system by putting his paintings out on the sidewalk free for people to see. I met him my first afternoon in the strange new place. He was cheerful about destroying the museum system. They were all cheerful, these energetic talkers of revolution. One spent hours discussing the history of failed youth movements in Europe: he had been in them all, never aged, a foot soldier from city to city in the inevitability of history. Another had Mao's red book and did exegesis on the text while joints were handed to him by enthralled cadres. Another knew about the role of the tobacco industry in upholding Western imperialism: he denounced the smokers as political hypocrites and bourgeois fools. Meanwhile, the music was loud, the porno movies played on the walls as Santa fucked a blond woman in black lace, the hash was smoked pound after pound. The women stood out. Mostly there were men but the women did not fade into the background. There was M, who later became a famous dominatrix near Atlantic City. She was over six feet tall and she wore a short leather skirt, about crotch level. Her thighs were covered with thick scars. She had long, straight, blond hair. She wanted to know if I had carried guns for the Black Panthers. Since I had been too young then, she wouldn't have anything to do with me. There was E, an emaciated, catty little thief: girlfriend of a major ideologist of the counterculture revolution, a small, wiry, cunning, nervous, bespectacled man: she wore government surplus, guerrilla style: they were arrested for stealing money from parking meters. You can't make a great plan on an empty stomach, he told me. There was a bright, beautiful woman who looked like the Dutch Boy boy, only she lit up from inside and her smile was like sunlight. Her boyfriend was dour, officious, a functionary in the huge, government-run building that housed the radical youth and the hashish, he made sure the porno movies were on the right walls at the right times. There was Frau B, a dowager administrator, suburban, having an affair with the head honcho, an ex-colonel in an occupying army: they kept the lid on for the government. And then I too became a fixture: the girlfriend, then the wife. The American. The only brunette. The innocent by virtue of Americanism. They kept Europe's feudal sex secrets hidden. I thought I invented everything. Smoking dope in their great painted rooms they seemed innocent: I thought I was the old one. In the South there are beaches and old ruins. Boys sneak girls somewhere, some flat place, and other boys hide behind rocks or pieces of ancient walls and watch. In the North it is cold. There are the streets, too civilized for sex. There are no rooms, no apartments, even adult men live with their parents. One is sneaked into a tiny bedroom in the parents' house: hands are held over one's mouth: no noise can be made: and sneaked out before dawn, giggling silently and left in the cold, unless one's lover is sentimental: then he covers you in his coat and buries you in his arms and you wait for dawn together. In Northern European cities, dawn comes late but parents wake up early. The young men have no privacy: they stay strange little bad boys who get taller and older. They get married too young. They sneak forever. There were plenty before him in gray Europe. It was his sadness: saturating his comic face, his comic stance, his great comic stories, his extravagant gestures. It made him different: sad: more like me, but so fragile compared to me, so unused. When he looked up, so innocent, I must have decided. I became his friend, thinking that he too must love life fiercely, desperately: my gift to him: it costs me nothing and there is an abundance of it, without limits: the physical facts of life. There is not a lot I can do. I can do this. Darker, grayer: no buildings filled with hash: another European city: to get an apartment: we had spent nights together out on the street, in the rain, in the cold, he was my friend, I had nowhere to go and he had nowhere to take me so he stayed with me in the wet nights, bitter cold. So we went somewhere else, Northern, gray, he came a few days a week, every week, he taught me how to cook, he was my friend. There was a big bed, one room, a huge skylight in the middle of the room, one large table in a corner: I put the bed under the skylight, water condenses and drips on it, but there I teach him, slowly. I have understood. He has too much respect for women. I teach him disrespect, systematically. I teach him how to tie knots, how to use rope, scarves, how to bite breasts: I teach him not to be afraid: of causing pain. It goes slowly. I teach him step by step. I invent sex therapy in this one room somewhere in the middle of Europe. I am an American innocent, in my fashion. I forbid intercourse. I teach him how to play games. You be this and I will be that. Rape, virgin, Queen Victoria. The games go on and on. There are some we do over and over. I teach him to penetrate with his fingers, not to be afraid of causing pain. I fellate him. I teach him not to worry about erection. I tie him up. Dungeon, brothel, little girl, da-da. I ask him what he wants to do and we do it. I teach him not to be afraid of causing pain. Not to be afraid of hurting me. I am the one there: don't be afraid of hurting me, see, this is how. I teach him not to be afraid of piss and shit, human dirt. I teach him everything about his body, I penetrate him, I scratch, I bite, I tie him up, I hit him with my hand open, with my fist, with belts: he gets hard. He does each thing back to me. He is nearly hard. Water condenses on the skylight and falls. We move the bed. I am disappointed. I liked the extravagance. I do everything I can think of to help him: impotent and suicidal: I am saving his life. We are on an island, isolated in this European city. There is us. There is the bed. He is nearly hard. We move back to his city, where he is from, into a room that is ours. He needs some act, some gesture, some event to give him the final confidence: to get really hard. Reader, I married him. I love life so fiercely, so desperately: there is an endless abundance of it, with no limits: it costs me nothing. I thought I could always leave if I didn't like it. I had the ultimate belief in my own ability to walk away. I thought it would show him I believed in him. It did. Reader, he got hard. ***** He became a husband, like anyone else, normal. He got hard, he fucked, it spilled over, it was frenzy, I ended up cowering, caged, catatonic. How it will end finally, I don't know. I wanted to help: but this was a hurricane of hate and rage let loose: I wanted to help: I saved him: not impotent, not suicidal, he beat me until I was a heap of collapsed bone, comatose, torn, bleeding, bruised so bad, so hard: how it will end, I don't know. ***** Oh, it was a small small room with no windows: he had it painted dark blue: he didn't let me sleep: he never let me sleep: he beat me and he fucked me: I fought back and I tried to run away. The rest is unspeakable. He got hard and fucked easy now. Reader, I had married him. He rolled on top and he fucked: it costs me nothing, and there is an endless abundance of it: I love life so fiercely, so desperately: how it will end, I don't know. ***** Sad boy. Sex is so easy. I can open my legs and save you. It is so little for me to do. I know so much. Sad boy. Desperate child. Gentle soul. Too much respect. Afraid to violate. But sex is violation. I read it in books. I learned it somewhere. I show you how: and I devour, devour. There is an endless abundance of it, with no limits. I am a woman. This is what I was born to give. How it will end, I don't know. ***** Then I can't understand anymore. This isn't what I meant. I am so hurt, the cuts, the sores, the bleeding, let me sleep. You are hard now, my husband: let me sleep: I beg: an hour, a minute. I love life so fiercely, so desperately: I mean the physical facts of life: I want to make you happy: I don't want to die: the fists pounding, wild, enraged: sex was always so easy: it costs me nothing, and there is an endless abundance of it, with no limits: and I didn't want you to suffer, to die. How it will end now, I don't know. ***** The bed: I show you everything: every wild game: soon we drop the scripts and just tie the knots: how to penetrate: how to move, when, even why: every nerve: pretending to pretend so it isn't real: pretending to pretend but since we do what we pretend in what sense are we pretending? You pretend to tie me up, but you tie me up. I am tired of it now. I do what you need, tired of the repetition, you learn by rote, slowly, like in the third grade, not tone-deaf but no genius of your own: the notes, one by one, so you can get hard. You get hard. Now you're not pretending. I don't know how it will end. I am waiting for it to end. I know what I want: to get to the end: you will tell me when the game is finished: is it over? are you hard? ***** He is normal now, not impotent and suicidal, but in a rage: my normal, human husband who gets hard: he is in a rage, like a mad dog. This isn't what I meant. I love life so fiercely, so desperately: I thought only good could come of it: sex is so easy: there is an abundance of it, without limits: I teach him what I know: he needed a little more confidence, so reader, I married him. I didn't know. I didn't know. Believe me, not them: the normal, human husband with normal, human rage: little girl saints of sex with your philosophy, little darlings, when what's inside comes out, be somewhere hidden, chaste, out of reach: it spilled over: it was rage: it was hate: it was sex: he got hard: he beat me until I couldn't even crawl: it costs me nothing, and there is an endless abundance of it, with no limits: I try to get away: how it will end, I don't know. Until now I devoured, devoured, I loved life so fiercely: now I think nothing good can come of it: why didn't someone say--oh, girl, it isn't so easy as it seems, be gone when what's inside comes out: impotence and suicide aren't the worst things. His face isn't sad now: he is flowering outside, to others, they have never seen him fatter, cockier, no grief, no little boy: the human husband, all hard fuck and fists: and I cower: reader, I married him: I saved him: how it will end, I don't know. ***** You can see what he needed, you can see what I did. It's no secret now, not me alone. I got inside it when it was still a secret. It is everywhere now. Watch the men at the films. Sneak in. Watch them. See how they learn to tie the knots from the pictures in the magazines. Impotent and suicidal. I taught him not to be afraid to hurt: me. What's inside comes out. I love life so fiercely, so desperately, and I devour, devour, and how it will end, I don't know. Sex is so easy, and it costs me nothing, and there is an endless abundance of it, with no limits: and I devour, devour. I saved him. How it will end, I don't know. There will be a film called Snuff. Sad, gentle face, comic. Unconsummated. My virgin. My little boy. My innocent. Suicidal and impotent. I want you to know what I know, being ground under: hard thighs: hard sweat: hard cock: kisses to the marrow of the bone. I love life so fiercely, so desperately. It costs me nothing, and there is an endless abundance of it, with no limits, and I devour, devour. I teach you. You get hard. You pulverize human bones. Finally I know how it will end. Oh, I run, I run, little boy. I lived another year in that Northern city of Old Europe. Terror wipes you clean if you don't die. I took everyone I liked: with good cheer, a simple equanimity. There were houseboats, saunas, old cobbled streets, huge mattresses on floors with incense burning: long-haired boys and short-haired girls: I knew their names: something about them: there was nothing rough: I felt something in the thighs: I always felt something coming from me or I did nothing: it was different: I had many of them, whoever I wanted. I read books and took drugs. I was happy. Slowly I saw: coitus is the punishment for being a writer afraid of the cold passion of the task. There is no being together, just the slow learning of solitude. It is the discipline, the art. I began to learn it. ***** I lived in the present, slowly, except for tremors of terror, physical memories of the beatings, the blood. I took drugs. I took who I wanted, male or female. I was alert. I read books. I listened to music. I was near the water. I had no money. I watched everyone. I kept going. I would be alone and feel happy. It frightened me. Coitus is the punishment for the happiness of being alone. One can't face being happy. It is too extreme. ***** I had to be with others, compulsion. I was afraid to be alone. Coitus is the punishment for the fear of being alone. I took who I liked, whatever moved me, I felt it in my gut. It was fine. But only solitude matters. Coitus is the punishment for cowardice: afraid of being alone, in a room, in a bed, on this earth: coitus is the punishment for being a woman: afraid to be alone. ***** I couldn't be alone. I took whoever made me feel something, a funny longing in the gut or crotch. I liked it. I took hashish, acid. Not all the time, on special days, or on long afternoons. I took long saunas. I was happy. I read books. I started to write. I began to need solitude. It started like a funny longing in the gut or crotch. Coitus was the punishment for not being able to stand wanting solitude so much. ***** I gave up other lovers. I wanted solitude. It took a few years to get faithful. Coitus was the punishment for a breach of faith. ***** I came back to New York City, the Lower East Side. I lived alone, poor, writing. I was raped once. It punished me for the happiness of being myself. ***** I am alone, in solitude. I can almost run my fingers through it. It takes on the rhythmic brilliance of any passion. It is like holy music, a Te Deum. Coitus is the punishment for not daring to be happy. ***** I learn the texture of minutes, how hours weave themselves through the tangled mind: I am silent. Coitus is the punishment for running from time: hating quiet: fearing life. ***** I write day in and day out, night after night, alone, in the quiet of this exquisite concentration, this exquisite aloneness, this extreme new disordering of the senses: solitude, my beloved. Coitus is the punishment for not daring to be extreme enough, for compromising, for conforming, for giving in. Coitus is the punishment for not daring to disorder the senses enough: by knowing them without mediation. Coitus is the punishment for not daring to be original, unique, discrete. ***** I am not distracted, I am alone, I love solitude, this is passion too. I am intensely happy. When I see people, I am no less alone: and I am not lonely. I concentrate when I write: pure concentration, like life at the moment of dying. I dream the answers to my own questions when I sleep. I am not tranquil, it is not my nature, but I am intensely happy. Coitus is the punishment for adulterating solitude. ***** I forget the lovers of Europe. They don't matter. The terror still comes, it envelops me, solitude fights it tooth and nail, solitude wins. I forget what I have done on these streets here. It doesn't matter. I concentrate. I am alone. The solitude is disruption, extremity, extreme sensation in dense isolation. This is a private passion, not for exhibit. Coitus is the punishment for exhibiting oneself: for being afraid to be happy in private, alone. Coitus is the punishment for needing a human witness. I write. Solitude is my witness. ***** Coitus is punishment. I write down everything I know, over some years. I publish. I have become a feminist, not the fun kind. Coitus is punishment, I say. It is hard to publish. I am a feminist, not the fun kind. Life gets hard. Coitus is not the only punishment. I write. I love solitude: or slowly, I would die. I do not die.

What is the most advanced development stage you have reached in your primary product type?* Select a development stage Developing a prototype Prototyped and are seeking investment Raised capital and using it to make our product Product in market and offered for free Product in market and generating revenue (English) In this study, we screened eight terpenes isolated from the organic extract of Sphaerococcus coronopifolius for their antifouling activity in order to find possible new sources of non-toxic or less toxic bioactive antifoulants. The anti-settlement activity (EC50) and the degree of toxicity (LC50) of S.coronopifolius metabolites was evaluated using larvae of the cirriped crustacean Amphibalanus (Balanus)amphitrite (cyprids and nauplii) as model organism. For five of eight tested metabolites EC50 was lower than 5 mg/L. The most promising results were observed for bromosphaerol(3), which expressed an EC50 value of 0.23 mg/L,in combination with low toxicity levels (LC50>100 mg/L). The therapeutic ratio-an index used to estimate whether settlement inhibition is due to toxicity or other mechanisms - is also calculated and discussed.

Garry Davis was a sergeant assigned to the Kern County Sheriff’s Office detective unit when he was sent to investigate the body found in the orchard at Merced Avenue and Zerker Road on July 15, 1980. Louisiana native Wilson Chouest, 66, is accused of killing the victim as well as a pregnant woman found dead three days later in the upper parking lot of Westlake High School in Thousand Oaks. He has been charged with three counts of murder in the deaths of the two women and male fetus. It is further alleged that the crimes were committed during the commission of a rape and robbery. Chouest has pleaded not guilty to the charges. If convicted, he could face three consecutive sentences of life without the possibility of parole.

JUAN CARLO/THE STAR Ventura County Superior Court Judge Ryan Wright greets the jurors at the start of the day three of the murder trial of Wilson Chouest. He is on trial in the 1980 murder and rape of a pregnant woman found dead in Ventura County and another woman found dead in Kern County. JUAN CARLO/THE STAR Senior Criminal Investigator Chas Wiggins, of the Ventura County Public Defender's Office, from left, Chief Deputy Public Defender Andre Nintcheff and Wilson Chouest wait for the jury to come into Ventura County Superior Court Wednesday morning. Chouest is on trial in the 1980 murder and rape of a pregnant woman found dead in Ventura County and another woman found dead in Kern County. JUAN CARLO/THE STAR Senior Deputy District Attorney John Barrick argues that the defendant drove his vehicle from where he was living in Kings County, then raped and fatally stabbed the two women. Their bodies were then “discarded like trash,” Barrick said. He told jurors in his opening statement this week the alleged acts were consistent with Chouest’s previous crimes and that his DNA matches the DNA left on the women’s bodies, clothing and a Michelob beer bottle found on the ground next to the Kern County victim. Forensic toxicologist Ronald Smith testified Thursday that her blood alcohol level was 0.30 percent when she died. The defendant was released from prison in June 1980 after serving a sentence for the robbery and kidnapping of a woman a few years earlier. Currently, Chouest is also serving a life sentence for two similar crimes he committed in 1980 in which one of the female victims had been raped, Barrick said. Chouest’s defense attorney, Chief Deputy Public Defender Andre Nintcheff, argues that although Chouest’s DNA matches the genetic material found on the bodies, it does not put him at the crime scenes. It “allows for different stories,” Nintcheff said. In his opening statement this week, he called the evidence presented in support of the rape allegations “circumstantial” and told jurors there was a lack of injuries typically seen from a sexual assault. Through a Spanish interpreter, a man who irrigated the almond orchard in 1980 and first discovered the body testified Thursday about being scared when he saw the woman and said he immediately notified his supervisor, Felipe Aleman. Aleman told jurors he worked as the foreman of citrus and almond orchards owned by a ranching family. He checked the irrigation system about 9:30 p.m. the night before the body was found in a pathway at the middle of the orchard, which led to a water reservoir. He drove his work pickup to the outer edge of the path, shining the vehicle’s light onto it, but Aleman said he did not see a body or tire tracks. Although the names of the women have remained unknown for nearly 40 years, Davis testified Thursday that there were extensive efforts to identify the victim known as Kern County Jane Doe. The pregnant woman is referred to as Ventura County Jane Done. The Kern County victim has two tattoos, one of which says “Mother I Love You” around a red rose. The other says “I Love You Shirley” with “Seattle” tattooed underneath, Davis testified. With a possible lead, he sent out 527 requests to law enforcement agencies in an attempt to identify her, with a concentration on the Seattle area, he said. He also gave his investigative assessment of what it meant to him that there was evidence of tire tracks from a four-wheel vehicle near the body of Kern County Jane Doe but there seemed to be no other evidence of a struggle. He said it was likely that the body was just left there. No footprints were found in the area, which Davis said may be in part because of the hard-packed dirt there. James Brammer was also involved in the investigative effort. He was a civilian crime scene investigator for the Kern County Sheriff’s Office in 1980. He testified Thursday that he took photos of the crime scene, put evidence into bags and had similar duties when an autopsy was performed on the victim. Barrick asked about whether Brammer wore gloves when he collected evidence. Brammer said no, he didn’t because that was not the practice at the time. DNA was not used in criminal investigations back then. During cross-examination, Nintcheff asked about how Brammer collected evidence during the autopsy. Brammer said he held open a bag and the medical examiner would put clothing or other items into a bag that he would then seal. Under the public defender’s questioning, Brammer also said he would be careful of items that may have fingerprints on them because those techniques were being used in investigations. He said when he picked up the Michelob beer bottle, he put a pen or pencil into the neck of bottle and retrieved it from the ground that way.
I was recently having a conversation with an elderly gentleman who was emotionally very frustrated because he was conscious of his inability to remember some very important life events. He was very sad, wiping away tears with his shaky wrinkled hand, so I sat with him awhile and listened to the stories he could remember eventually watching the tears of sadness turn to tears of joy, sharing a few hearty belly laughs before the end. You see he was an adventurer and I could relate to many of his stories and shared some of my more memorable ones with him. When we were done we parted with a hand squeeze and a brief shared look that we knew acknowledged the suffering but also the joys of our moment of shared time together. After our conversation the thoughts swirled and swirled in my head resulting in a bit of a tornado. You see dementia, Alzheimer’s, they all run in my family and I just kept coming up with the thought “was I just having a conversation with myself in the future?” Sometimes in the dark recesses of my mind when I forget someone’s name or the exact details of an event this little evil thread runs through “is this the beginning?” It can be a bit daunting carrying this weight around somedays. I try not to ruminate on it because what will be, will be. Maybe it’s why I’m drawn to words, stories, the truer the better. I feel a deep need to get it all down. Have it somewhere my boys and possibly their children can come to and read. See the photographs, read the stories of their adventurous family roots. I can’t get enough of hearing about people’s adventures in this big wide crazy world. We all might not be climbing mountain tops or exploring exotic rainforest everyday but if you’re willing to step out the door with bit of saved up money and two feet and a heart beat, take some risks, rise to the challenges I’ll be waiting at the end to hear your story beer in hand. Who knows how long we each have to live our adventures, to remember our stories, to share them with others, so get out there make stories together even those terrible scary moments you may look back and laugh about one day. The first time my husband and I traveled together to Mexico we were backpacking around the Baja for a week. I had booked the first night hotel as we were landing late at night then it was moment to moment. We didn’t have a lot of money we were both in college and we had booked our airfare on travel vouchers we had been given after a trip to see his family in Chile when our flight home was overbooked. We spent the first night at a cheap small hotel in Cabo San Lucas and the next morning set off on the bus to San Jose del Cabo. As we disembarked the bus at the beach my husband informed me he had left all our money tucked under the mattress at the last hotel then he went and phoned the hotel and asked the receptionist to look to see if the money was still there. It was absurd. We bussed all the way back holding our breath and finding hope in the smile of that Mexican receptionist envelope of cash in hand. We walked to the first bar we saw and laughed over cold beers breathing a sigh of relief we’d have a roof over our heads that night. We just weren’t really sure where! There’s someone I’d like to introduce you to. Maybe you know her maybe you don’t. We’ve never met I simply follow her blog and comings and goings on Facebook. I don’t think I’ve ever even commented on her stories publicly. I find her inspiring, brave, courageous, honest, and certainly a woman blazing her own trail. Creative traveller behind A Little Adrift: the world’s too big to tell just one story. Shannon focuses on volunteer travel with meaning not just the fluff voluntourism but the real, honest to god volunteering that makes a difference. She’s written a book ‘The Volunteer Traveler’s Handbook’ which I have yet to read but when I’m ready to jump back into volunteering on my travels it’s a good bet I’ll be picking it up. Admiringly, she supports her travel through consulting, writing and photography and her website remains ad free which makes her site more accessible for the reader and a much-needed break from distracting ads. Thank you. Why am I writing about Shannon? Well, on this International Women’s Day of 2015 I felt moved to write about a woman of integrity who inspires me in my travels, someone who when I’m reading her words there never feels like a hidden agenda. I’ve always been a big believer of supporting woman in business and adventure. I’ve also traveled solo in this magnificently big uncertain world and I know the ups and downs, feeling a little out-of-place, feeling like a seasoned traveler and then doing something completely naive. Lessons learned again and again. I also believe as women we need to lift each other up and celebrate our trailblazers, acknowledge the challenging paths they have walked, are walking and greet them with a hug along the way. I encourage you to pop over to her website, read a few of her stories and be open to inspiration she’s doing what some of us have only dreamed about – how amazing is that!!!!

Whether you’re looking to take an introductory helicopter lesson, or a sunset chopper tour over New York City, Javier Diaz, the mastermind behind Wings Air Helicopters, is the man for you. To say he’s a Jack of all trades is an understatement: not only is Javier a whiz in the sky, he’s also a skilled banker, having worked in the financial industry for over a decade. But besides being skilled in business, Javier is also mentor-worthy in spirit; after all, he gutsily left the safety of a desk-job to chase his dreams, dreams he trusted would ultimately make him a happier man, and quite right he was. While we salute Javier off the bat, we caught up with him to learn more about his fascinating past. Thank you, Javier, for taking the time to speak with us about your inspiring path to where you stand now as an enviable helicopter pilot (among many other things) in New York City. First, would you mind sharing how you discovered your passion for New York and flying helicopters? It was easy: aviation is in my blood; my father was an amateur pilot who would take the family off to the Caribbean on his small plane, and my uncle also owned and flew airplanes and helicopters. I stalled my destiny by starting off as an investment banker, but once I realized there’s more to life than banking-related benefits, I was able to wrap my head around the possibility that one could, in fact, make a living as a helicopter guide. It took my wife a while to hop on the bandwagon (when I first told her my idea of swapping piloting for banking, she responded, “Are you crazy!?”), but our lives have improved tenfold since; now that I work for myself, I can spend more time with her and our children, and that’s priceless. It all spurred from hating being stuck behind a desk. I needed an escape, and I found it in flying. While I was working for Deutsche Bank, I saved enough money to buy an airplane, which I proceeded to rent out for lessons with an instructor who I hired. Naturally (wink wink), next I bought a helicopter, which I also started to rent out. After a few years, I came to the realization that if I really wanted to make the whole operation work, I had to be in it 100%. It took 12 years, but I finally transitioned from banking to flying, and I’ve never looked back. Thankfully I have that Columbian blood; my Latin roots make me very optimistic, and, in turn, I was doggedly determined to do what I knew would make me happy at heart, regardless of any doubts. The biggest highlight for me has been watching the company grow. We’ve gone from being a flight school with one helicopter to a multi-aircraft operation that can accomplish a wide variety of missions, including charters and aerial cinematography. I also like that I can work however long or short I like, and I never have to miss out on having dinner with my family. You can pretty much find me doing one of three things: flying, tending to official business in the office, or meeting other business-related personnel. It would be nice to be up in the sky 99.9% of the time, but unfortunately I have to take care of office things too. Work hard, play hard, right? I always enjoy taking celebrities for a ride. I like to be able to talk to them during the flight; they’re very different in real life. Despite careful planning, we’ve had flights when weather has interfered, and we have had to either turn back halfway, or stay in the middle of nowhere until the storm passes. It’s always an adventure! In fact, yes: on an early morning charter to Saratoga Springs, my passengers got hungry and asked to stop for breakfast…mid-flight! Fortunately, my co-pilot knew of a deli en route, so we landed the helicopter there (somewhere along a road in upstate New York) and picked up a few egg sandwiches. Best. Breakfast. Ever. New York is an extremely competitive market, so it’s hard to stand out. Our goal at Wings Air Helicopters is to provide the kind of personalized service and attention that a client wouldn’t get anywhere else. We’re unique, that’s for sure, but it takes time to find one’s footing here. With our tours in particular, don’t lose your cool. And what do I mean by that? I mean it’s great to get excited, but remember to pay attention; it’s important to acknowledge the dangers of being around huge electrical machines like helicopters. Those blades have no mercy. The bottom line is to listen to your pilot: if you follow his or her instructions, you’ll be ensured a safe and efficient flight. Sharing the most beautiful spaces. And the highest standards. Homeowners with a discerning eye for detail and no room for compromise are making room for Zuri® Premium Decking by Royal®. And they’re not being shy about it.Zuri® Premium Decking by Royal® combines the low-maintenance, high-durability properties of composite decking with the exterior environment-defining presence of exotic wood. Unlike some other decking we know.

I love the beginning of a New Year. I love the opportunity it gives us to renew our commitments and rethink our priorities! We understand that so much of our time is spent in the kitchen. Each and every week we are planning meals, building our shopping lists and hoping that those things we create are liked by our family! :-) It is because of our understanding and feeling that same way, that they ETM Recipe Kit Club was formed. Several years ago, we decided to form this club and it has been a HUGE success ever since. Since the start of this club, we have designed 10 different binders that are used to organize the monthly recipe kits that you receive. The above binder is our current design with a NEW design being released this month. We typically design 2 binders a year. Each binder kit includes the binder, all pattern paper and supplies needed to duplicate our design, step by step instructions and color copies of the kit. They are very easy to assemble! Our binders are organized with 6 tabs. Tabs includes breads, soups/salads, main dishes, desserts, appetizers/beverages and side dishes. As you receive your recipes each month, they will coordinate with one of the tabs. Each month, we design four NEW recipe pages. These pages are 5x7 in size and fit your binder kit. Our designs are quick and easy to assemble. Each kit includes instructions and a reminder to view the color image of the kit on our website. Our designs vary between a landscape and portrait orientation so you have a variety in your binder as well. I always suggest to my customers that once they complete our design each month, they create a second design from their own recipes and paper scraps to slide in the back side of the sheet protector. That way you are also organizing your own recipes too! We all have that binder or folder filled with misc recipes we have received from family, friends, church members or even printed from the internet. Our binder kits are a great way to organize those recipes and have them visible and quick to reference. Our recipes are tried and true. We are never going to send you something that we have not made our selves and personally love. I like to keep things simple and find recipes that are not going to take a lot of time to prepare. Remember... the idea is to simplify! ANOTHER great idea with these kits is to give them as a gift! We have had customers that have created the pages each month then at the end of the year give a completed album as a Christmas gift. Or maybe give as a wedding gift or to your daughter leaving for college. There are so many possibilites with this concept. I promise you will love each kit! Each month, you receive 4 new kits and the cost is only $12 per month. IF you live locally, you can pick your kits up OR if you need shipping we offer a reduced flate rate. IF you personally email and request to join by the end of this month, I will include an additional kit from our 2011 kits of your choice! IF you are interested in our current binder kit CLICK HERE Only a few are left in stock before our new design is released! This month's Expressions card-making kit is just too unique to pass up. The fun combination of Authentique papers and coordinating embellishments are really great to work with for making fun family-oriented projects. The autumn colors are really beautiful to work with and there are some fun punches inside too! Time can be short this time of year - there is a lot of holiday planning and decorating to do. . . so here are a few really simple cards that can be made with the kit. You can click on each card to see them bigger if you like. Another fun project you can make with this kit is place cards for your holiday dinner table... the small sheet of Authentique elements have some fun words like "Gather," "Family," and "Happy!" Just use one, and some word stickers, on each card. (4x3 paper, folded in half) Add the letter stickers to spell out the name of each dinner guest and they get a special message and a keepsake too. One of my favorite things about the kit is the full sheet of word stickers. They remind me of magnets that you used to be able to buy in book stores for putting on your refrigerator - you could make poetry or sayings out of random words... how fun to be able to use these to make cards! You can make your cards say lots of different things. If you happen to have a little MORE time for card making this month, here is a project that you might enjoy practicing. It's a tri-shutter card, and they are really pretty for making big, beautiful greetings that can double as a decoration. I made this video last year, for making tri-shutter Christmas cards. The instructions are pretty easy to follow. The card bases are not as difficult to make as they appear. To make the patterned paper mats, simply cut each piece 1/4 inch smaller than the section that you want to place them in. For instance, the long pannels at each end measure 2 x 6 inches, so your mats should be 1.75 x 5.75 inches. Here is the card sample, and the video, if you want to give it a try.
Rick Gates was on the witness stand today in the trial of Paul Manafort, he confirmed that he committed crimes with Manafort, and embezzled “hundreds of thousands” of dollars. Gates, who is a former business partner of Manafort, testified that he joined Donald Trump’s former campaign manager in committing bank fraud and tax crimes. Only a New York City bike share case create a 34-page opinion on just motions that are filed. The results are all over the board, both the defendants and the plaintiff winning issues on an electronic release Posted: March 19, 2018 | Author: Recreation Law | Filed under: Assumption of the Risk, Case Analysis, Cycling, New York, Release (pre-injury contract not to sue) | Tags: affirmative defenses, Assumption of risk, bicycle, Bike, Bike Share, Citi Bike, Contractor, Cyclists, genuine, helmet, Immunity, installation, installed, lane, matter of law, Membership, municipality, negligence claims, New York City Bike Share, Notice, Open and Obvious, parking, planning, Primary Assumption of the Risk, Public Policy, Qualified Immunity, recreational, Release, Release / Waiver, release agreement, rider, riding, roadway, safe, station, street, Summary judgment, Traffic, user, wear, Wheel | Leave a comment A Ten-page release was upheld as valid. But the process was full of enough holes the plaintiff is still in the game. Plaintiff Claims: was improperly designed, installed, and maintained, Corwin brought claims for common-law and gross negligence and professional negligence and malpractice Extremely complicated decision because of the number of claims of the plaintiff and the number of defendants in the case. Each defendant has a different perspective to the defenses. The decision looks at what happens if you are not wearing a helmet while cycling and you receive a head injury as well as how assumption of the risk and open and obvious defenses are dealt with in a city and against city agencies. The plaintiff had signed up for a year long bike share rental agreement with New York City bike share. He did that online and, in the process, agreed to a release that was ten pages. He rented a bike one day and was riding on the street. He felt pressure from traffic on his left. A bike share area was coming up on his right and he rode into it. The bike share locations must be on the streets in New York. He continued through the area and at the end hit a concrete wheel stop. He crashed suffering injuries. Ronald D. Corwin, an annual member of the Citi Bike bicycle sharing program, was riding a Citi Bike in Midtown Manhattan. Upon passing through a Citi Bike station located on East 56th Street and Madison Avenue, he collided with a concrete wheel stop and violently hit his head against the cement. Alleging that the Citi Bike station in question was improperly designed, in-stalled, and maintained, Corwin brought claims for common-law and gross negligence and professional negligence and malpractice, and Beth Blumenthal, Corwin’s wife, brought derivative claims for loss of her husband’s services, society, companionship, and consortium. He sued everyone there was in New York. Sixteen different law firms are listed in the case. The plaintiff sued: City of New York (“City”), who planned, oversaw, and collaborated with the other defendants in implementing the Citi Bike program Alta Planning + Design + Architecture of New York (“APDNY”), a design company and its wholly-owned subsidiary who drafted site plans for the Citi Bike system The lawsuit was in Federal District Court. This opinion is the magistrate’s opinion on the motions filed by the parties. Judge assign non-trial work, such as deciding motions to magistrates. After the magistrate’s opinion is filed the parties have X days to respond/object. The judge then reviews and either adopts, modifies or writes his own opinion. When the judge rules on the magistrate’s opinion there is usually a written record of the ruling. There are two additional motions the magistrate writes about that are in the record, but no ruling from the court. There are a lot of arguments in this 34-page ruling. I’m only going to write about the ones that are important to the outdoor recreation and cycling community. The first defense discussed here is the electronic release signed by the plaintiff to become a bike share member and rent bikes. The first issues were plaintiff did not remember signing the release, but did sign up and admitted that he probably agreed to things. The Bike Share program could not produce a release “signed” by the plaintiff. The produced a release that was in use at the time the plaintiff signed the release and the produced testimony of a former manager to testified that the only way the plaintiff could have become a member and ride bikes was if he had agreed to the release. A contract or clause is unconscionable when it was “both procedurally and substantively unconscionable when made–i.e., some showing of an absence of meaningful choice on the part of one of the parties together with contract terms which are unreasonably favorable to the other party The court first went into the issue of whether the release existed and was signed. The release was determined to be a “clickwrap” agreement. Such an agreement requires the user to take an affirmative action, usually, the clicking of a box that states that he or she has read and agrees to the terms of service. “[U]nder a clickwrap arrangement, potential licensees are presented with the proposed license terms and forced to expressly and unambiguously manifest either assent or rejection prior to being given access to the product.” Clickwrap agreements are “more readily enforceable [than online contracts that do not require the user to take an affirmative action], since they ‘permit courts to infer that the user was at least on inquiry notice of the terms of the agreement, and has outwardly manifested consent by clicking a box. The touchstone in most courts’ analysis of the enforceability of clickwrap contracts turns on whether the website provided “reasonably conspicuous notice that [users] are about to bind them-selves to contract terms In New York the courts have already set a group of tests to determine if a clickwrap agreement is enforceable. First, terms of use should not be enforced if a reasonably prudent user would not have had at the very least inquiry notice of the terms of the agreement. Second, terms should be enforced when a user is encouraged by the design and content of the website and the agreement’s webpage to examine the terms, such as when they are clearly available through hyperlink. Conversely, terms should not be enforced when they are “buried at the bottom of a webpage” or “tucked away in obscure corners.” (collecting cases refusing to enforce such agreements). Special attention should be paid to whether the site design brought the consumer’s attention to “material terms that would alter what a reasonable consumer would understand to be her default rights when initiating an online [transaction],” and, in appropriate cases, such terms should not be enforced even when the contract is otherwise enforceable (“When contractual terms as significant as . . . the right to sue in court are accessible only via a small and distant hyperlink . . . with text about agreement thereto presented even more obscurely, there is a genuine risk that a fundamental principle of contract formation will be left in the dust: the requirement for a manifestation of mutual assent.”) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Broad exculpatory clauses waiving liability for negligence would certainly qualify as material terms that alter a contracting party’s commonly-understood default rights. Using this set of parameters, the magistrate reviewed the bike Share release and found it was not unconscionable. To be enforceable, an exculpatory agreement must be stated in clear, coherent, unambiguous language and expressly release a defendant from ordinary claims. This ambiguity was based on contradictions between two sections in the ten-page release. However, the court found there was no ambiguity. The plaintiff raised three arguments on why the release violated public policy. It violated New York City Administrative Code, it violated New York General Obligations law § 5-326 and it violated the cities common law duty to maintain roads. The court found New York City administrative code could not serve as a basis for invalidating a release. New York General Obligations law § 5-326 is the statute that restricts on who can use a release. The language of the statutes says that “operator of any pool, gymnasium, place of amusement or recreation, or similar establishment and the user of such facilities” can’t use a release. Since the bike share program was not a facility, the release was valid. Finally, the common law duty the city of New York had to maintain the roads did not violate the release because “…the Citi Bike station, including all of its on-street equipment located in the parking lane, falls within the City’s non-delegable duty to maintain the public roads.” However, the release did not apply to the city of New York because that would be contrary to public policy. In the end the negligence claims of the plaintiff were denied because of the release. The gross negligence claims were still valid. Under New York Law and the law of most states, claims for gross negligence cannot be stopped by a release. The next issue was how the fact the plaintiff did not wear a helmet, at the time of his injury, would be used in the case. The defendants argued that the plaintiff not wearing a helmet should be used by the defendants to show the plaintiff was liable for his injuries, (that the plaintiff was comparative negligence), to prove assumption of the risk and to mitigate the damages he incurred. The plaintiff argued that since there was no statutory duty to wear a helmet, then the defendants could not make their arguments. The court applied the same rationale to wearing a bike helmet as the courts had done in New York to wearing a seat belt in a car crash. Not wearing a bike helmet, it could not be used to prove liability on the part of the plaintiff but it could be used to reduce damages. …the Appellate Division explicitly applied this reasoning to bicycle helmets, noting that “[Corwin’s] failure to use a helmet is akin to a plaintiff’s failure to use a seatbelt in a motor vehicle case. It is well settled that any such failure does not go to comparative liability, but rather to how dam-ages, if any, should be assessed. The defendant then argued they should have qualified immunity on the plaintiff’s claims of failing to provide a bike helmet to him while renting a bike. Immunity is granted by statute to governments and their agencies for the decisions they make. As long as the decisions are not intentional and thought out the immunity applies. The immunity then stops the courts from reviewing those decisions as long as the decisions are made under the guidelines the law has set out. Although the city may use the fact the plaintiff did not wear a helmet to reduce any damages the city might owe to the plaintiff. The plaintiff cannot use that argument to say the city was liable for not providing helmets. Nor can the plaintiff argue the his not wearing a helmet was unreasonable and did not breach a duty of care. Corwin will, of course, be free to demonstrate that his “conduct was not unreasonable under the circumstances and that he did not breach a duty of care because adults are not required to wear helmets while riding bicycles in New York City and the Citi Bike program does not provide helmets. Here those guidelines were made by the city in its decision to not include helmets in the rentals of the bikes. He may not, however, seek to hold the City liable for what was a well-reasoned and studied determination made in the public interest. (“[C]ourts should not be permitted to review determinations of governmental planning bodies under the guise of allowing them to be challenged in negligence suits.”). Accordingly, the City is granted summary judgment on Corwin’s negligence claim regarding its failure to provide helmets because it has qualified immunity on this issue. The defendants moved for summary judgment because the plaintiff assumed the risk of his injuries while riding a bike. Primary assumption of the risk is defined as: In voluntarily undertaken recreational activities, the duty of a defendant is “to make the conditions as safe as they appear to be. If the risks of the activity are fully comprehended or perfectly obvious, plaintiff has consented to them and defendant has performed its duty. The risks were also identified in the release the plaintiff signed and which had been accepted by the court. Member agrees that riding a Citi Bike bicycle involves many obvious and not-so-obvious risks, dangers, and hazards, which may result in injury or death . . . and that such risks, dangers, and hazards cannot always be predicted or avoided. Member agrees that such risks, dangers, and hazards are Member’s sole responsibility.” However, the court rejected the defense because the plaintiff at the time of his injury was not engaged in a sporting activity. Accordingly, the assumption of the risk doctrine is not applicable to this case. “In determining whether a bicycle rider has subjected himself or herself to the doctrine of primary assumption of risk, we must consider whether the rider is engaged in a sporting activity, such that his or her con-sent to the dangers inherent in the activity may reasonably be inferred.” Courts have consistently held that riding a bicycle on a paved road is not such a “sporting activity.” The fact that an individual may be engaging in a recreational or leisure activity is not enough because the doctrine “is not designed to relieve a municipality of its duty to maintain its roadways in a safe condition. So, assumption of the risk only applies to recreation and sports in New York? If you are walking down a sidewalk and see a hole in the sidewalk, on your way to work you don’t assume the risk if you fall into the hole? The next argument by the defendants are not liable because the danger the plaintiff encountered was open an obvious. The Open and Obvious defense seems fairly simple. If the thing or condition that injured the plaintiff was open and obvious then the plaintiff cannot sue for his injuries. It is very similar to an assumption of the risk defense. A defendant has “no duty to protect or warn against an open and obvious condition which is not inherently dangerous. Whether a condition was open and obvious is generally a question of fact inappropriate for summary judgment and “depends on the totality of the specific facts of each case.” Nevertheless, “a court may determine that a risk was open and obvious as a matter of law when the established facts compel that conclusion …because the concrete wheel stop, located in a striped white box with “zebra” cross-hatching underneath and surrounded by four three-foot-tall flexible delineators, was “open and obvious. The plaintiff’s argument, based on the testimony of his expert witness was the wheel stop was not open and obvious because it was too big and was located in the travel lane had been camouflaged, in the way it was put in and painted. The declaration of James M. Green, Corwin’s engineering expert, brings forth various issues relevant in this analysis. First, Green alleges that the Citi Bike station in question was wider than the specifications required, presenting Corwin with the “choice of continuing through the bike parking facility, or turning out into traffic, with only approximately 0.75 feet between [him] and moving vehicular traffic.” hour-long traffic study conducted by Green found that “cyclists circulate through the [Citi Bike] station with regularity” and that this was a “foreseeable consequence of this Station design.” Green therefore argues that the wheel stop, though in a parking lane, was placed within the foreseeable path of a cyclist. He further concluded that various factors, including the wheel stop’s partial obscuring by parked bicycles, its lack of contrast against the grey asphalt, and a cyclist’s need simultaneously to pay attention to dynamic vehicular and pedestrian traffic, would have made the wheel stop inconspicuous, not “open and obvious.”. How something could be too big and then not be open and obvious is confusing. This was enough for the court to deny motion for summary judgment based on the open and obvious theory. …conduct that evinces a reckless disregard for the rights of others or ‘smacks’ of intentional wrongdoing.” “[T]he act or omission must be of an aggravated character, as distinguished from the failure to exercise ordinary care.” “In order to establish a prima facie case in gross negligence, a plaintiff ‘must prove by a fair preponderance of the credible evidence’ that the defendant ‘not only acted carelessly in making a mistake, but that it was so extremely careless that it was equivalent to recklessness. The plaintiff’s expert opined that the defendants ignored sound engineering practices when creating and installing the wheel stop and that it was foreseeable that the injuries would occur when the wheel stop was placed in the cycling path. Based on that language, the court found that the actions of the defendants could be defined as gross negligence. The defendant won most of the decisions, however the plaintiff won enough and won significant ones that allowed the litigation to continue. The final paragraph of the decision has a review of all decisions for the plaintiff and the defendants if you would like to keep a tally. However, there are several decisions concerning plaintiffs that were not reviewed here because they had no relationship to outdoor recreation or the legal issues commonly faced in outdoor recreation. Obviously, the injuries to the plaintiff are significant to bring such forces to this litigation to justify this much work. The amount of effort put into prosecuting a case for a plaintiff can SOMETIMES be an indication of the damages to the plaintiff when those damages are not identified in the decision. More importantly, the legal issues of suing New York City and its agencies are far more complex then found in most cities. There are some interesting points worth noting. You could guess that the judge thought a ten-page release was long since she pointed it out. However, you cannot argue that your release is too long. Especially since electronically they do not have a length that is measured so easily. Not wearing a helmet can be an issue in cycling and possibly skiing, even though the effectiveness of wearing one can be disputed. I suspect the next step would be to find a helmet expert by the plaintiff to argue that a helmet would not have prevented the damages the plaintiff received and the defendants will find an expert to argue the opposite. The failure to provide proof that the plaintiff signed the release was overcome. However, design your system so you don’t have to jump through these hurdles. Crate a system that matches the signing to the credit card or other way of showing that on this date at this time the person entered his name and address, credit card number and clicked on this button saying he accepted the release. Then you add, his credit card would not have been charged unless he agreed to the release. If you are designing bike share locations, do so in a way that people on bikes can assume they can ride through them.

Corwin, an annual member of the Citi Bike bicycle sharing program, was riding a Citi Bike in Midtown Manhattan. Upon passing through a Citi Bike station located on East 56th Street and Madison Avenue, he collided with a concrete wheel stop and violently hit his head against the cement. Alleging [*481] that the Citi Bike station in question was improperly designed, installed, and maintained, Corwin brought claims for common-law and gross negligence and [**4] professional negligence and malpractice, and Beth Blumenthal, Corwin’s wife, brought derivative claims for loss of her husband’s services, society, companionship, and consortium.1 1 As Blumenthal’s claims depend entirely on the viability of Corwin’s causes of actions, the two claims are referred to in shorthand as “Corwin’s” throughout the text of the opinion. Where the Court grants summary judgment or partial summary judgment to defendants on certain of Corwin’s claims, Blumenthal’s claims are dismissed as well. Vega-Santana v. Nat’l R.R. Passenger Corp., 956 F. Supp. 2d 556, 562 (S.D.N.Y. 2013) (“Where the primary cause of action is dismissed on summary judgment, the loss of consortium claim must be dismissed as well.”). On February 27, 2014, Corwin brought claims against three defendants: the City of New York (“City”), who planned, oversaw, and collaborated with the other defendants in implementing the Citi Bike program; NYC Bike Share, LLC (“NYCBS”), the company operating the Citi Bike system, and the New York City Department of Transportation (“DOT”). ECF No. 1, Compl. On December 31, 2014, Corwin amended his complaint to remove the DOT and add three additional defendants: Alta Bicycle Share, Inc. (now named “Motivate, Inc.”), which is NYCBS’s parent company; and Alta Planning + Design (“APD”) and Alta Planning + Design + Architecture of New York (“APDNY”), a design company and its wholly-owned subsidiary who drafted site plans for the Citi Bike system. ECF No. 27, First Am. Compl. After conducting significant discovery, Corwin moved for and was granted leave to amend his complaint to join two additional defendants, Metro Express Services, Inc. (“Metro Express”) and Sealcoat USA, Inc. (“Sealcoat”), both contractors who are [**5] alleged to have participated, in violation of the station’s design plan, in the installation of the wheel stop struck by Corwin. ECF No. 192, Second Am. Compl. All of the defendants move separately for summary judgment on a variety of grounds.2 All defendants argue that the condition was open and obvious and that Corwin’s negligence claims generally fail as a matter of law. The City, NYCBS, and APD argue that Corwin’s common-law negligence claims were released by the Bicycle Rental, Liability Waiver, and Release Agreement (“Release Agreement”) that he had to sign as a condition of Citi Bike membership, and that they are barred by the doctrine of primary assumption of the risk. APD, Metro Express and Sealcoat argue that, as third-party entities in a contractual relationship with Corwin, they owed him no duty of care. APD additionally argues that the Citi Bike station’s deviation from the design is an absolute bar to liability, and that there was no causation between its design and Corwin’s injury. The City also contends that Corwin’s claims are barred due to the doctrine of qualified immunity and its lack of written notice of the condition pursuant to a municipal notice statute. 2 As their liability is exclusively a product of being a parent company of a wholly owned subsidiary, Alta Bicycle Share, Inc./Motivate, Inc. moves for summary judgment together with NYCBS, and APD moves together with APDNY. For the sake of brevity, these motions are referred to as the “NYCBS” and “APD” motions, respectively. For his [**6] part, Corwin moves for partial summary judgment on two issues. First, he argues that the Release Agreement is unenforceable on numerous statutory, public policy, and contract formation grounds, and that defendants’ affirmative defenses [*482] relying on the Agreement should be dismissed as a matter of law. Second, he contends that the fact that he was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident is irrelevant as a matter of law to issues of assumption of the risk, comparative fault, or failure to mitigate damages, and therefore defendants’ affirmative defenses relying on this argument should be dismissed. For the following reasons, the cross-motions for summary judgment are GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. Corwin’s motion to dismiss defendants’ affirmative defenses relying on the Release Agreement is DENIED as to NYCBS; the Agreement is enforceable as a matter of law as to NYCBS. Corwin’s motion to dismiss the affirmative defenses relating to the Release Agreement is GRANTED as to the City because a contractual waiver of the City’s non-delegable duty to maintain public thoroughfares would be contrary to public policy. Corwin’s motion to dismiss defendants’ affirmative defenses relating [**7] to his non-use of a helmet is GRANTED in part; defendants may not argue that this is relevant to questions of liability to establish comparative negligence or assumption of the risk, but if liability is found, may argue that Corwin failed to mitigate damages. The City’s motion for summary judgment is DENIED; as stated above, the Release Agreement is ineffective to waive Corwin’s claims at to the City, and the City has not demonstrated its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law on qualified immunity, notice, or other grounds. NYCBS’s motion for summary judgment is GRANTED in part; because the Court finds that the Release Agreement is enforceable as to NYCBS, Corwin’s common-law negligence claims are barred, but he may still maintain gross negligence claims. APD’s motion for summary judgment is GRANTED because APD and APDNY did not owe any duty to Corwin. Accordingly, APD and APDNY are dismissed from this case. Metro Express and Sealcoat’s motions for summary judgment are DENIED because a genuine dispute of material fact exists as to whether they owed Corwin a duty of care under applicable New York law. Beginning in 2009, the City of New [**8] York began to study the feasibility of installing a bike share system in and around City streets, located in curbside parking lanes, on sidewalks, and near public spaces and parks. ECF No. 293, City’s Rule 56.1 Statement (“City St.”) ¶ 2. On April 10, 2012, the City and NYCBS entered into an agreement for the design, construction, operation, maintenance, and publicizing of “Citi Bike,” a network of self-service bike share stations with publicly available bicycles. ECF No. 310, Corwin’s Rule 56.1 Statement (“Corwin St.”) ¶ 2. The system became operational in May 2013. City St. ¶ 5; ECF No. 317, NYCBS’s Rule 56.1 Statement (“NYCBS St.”) ¶ 1. The City-NYCBS contract required NYCBS to design and install on-street bike parking stations “with appropriate protections and markings from adjacent parking and moving traffic. . . . [including] non-permanent bollards and paint markings.” City St. ¶ 31. The contract also noted that all protections and markings were to be preapproved by the DOT’s Division of Traffic. Id. The design for the Citi Bike stations was modeled in part on the City’s previous experience with “bike corrals,” which were also placed in parking lanes and were designed by the DOT’s Highway Design Unit and [**9] Pedestrian and Bicycle Group. City St. ¶¶ 41-42. These corrals had many elements that would ultimately be integrated [*483] into the Citi Bike stations, such as wheel stops, paint marking and bollards. Id. ¶ 42. At the time that the NYCBS contract was signed with the City, APD and APDNY were subsidiaries of Alta Bicycle Share, Inc., NYCBS’s parent company. Id. ¶ 48. APD assembled a team of architects, engineers, and designers to collaborate with the City on station design. Id. ¶¶ 49-50. Using a bike corral on Smith and Sackett Street as an exemplar, the APD and the City developed “Station Siting Guidelines” that included the use of unpainted, concrete wheel stops. Id. ¶¶ 51-57. Though the City originally approved the use of rubber wheel stops, it instructed NYCBS to replace them with concrete wheel stops because the rubber stops were not sufficiently durable. Id. ¶ 96. The wheel stops were considered by APD to be necessary to prevent damage to the station equipment by encroaching vehicles. Id. ¶ 58. The final design for Citi Bike stations situated in parking lanes included white thermoplastic markings and three-foot tall, reflective, flexible delineators on or near the markings. Wheel stops [**10] were to be used in the stations to protect the station equipment. Id. ¶¶ 64-66. These elements were collectively referred to as “street treatment.” Id. ¶ 81. While NYCBS installed the station equipment directly, it contracted the installation of street treatment to Metro Express, allegedly without the City’s awareness. Id. ¶ 83. MetroExpress, in turn, subcontracted this work to another entity, Sealcoat, allegedly without the awareness of either the City or NYCBS. Id. ¶¶ 85-86. The City considered, but chose not to mandate that Citi Bike riders wear helmets. It also did not provide helmets for Citi Bike riders on demand. Id. ¶ 8. The City came to this conclusion because (a) New York law did not mandate that adult cyclists wear helmets and it did not want to promote different standards for Citi Bike riders and other cyclists as a matter of public policy; (b) it believed, based on studies conducted in other cities, that mandatory helmet laws decreased bicycle ridership in general and bike share system use in particular; (c) certain statistics indicated that mandatory helmet laws actually decreased cyclist safety by reducing the number of cyclists on the road; and (d) research suggested [**11] that helmeted cyclists tended to ride more recklessly than those without helmets. Id. ¶¶ 9-16; Corwin St. ¶ 10. The City also specifically evaluated the feasibility and wisdom of instituting a public helmet distribution system, but ultimately concluded that there were numerous logistical barriers to such a system, such as hygiene, the fact that the structural integrity of helmets would be compromised if they were involved in an accident, and lack of proper fitting and sizing capabilities. City St. ¶¶ 18-22. The City further considered what it viewed as unfavorable experiences with such systems in Seattle, Boston, and Melbourne, Australia. Id. ¶ 25. The City did, however, provide annual Citi Bike members with discounted vouchers for helmets and expanded its helmet giveaway and fitting programs. Id. ¶¶ 27-28. The station where Ronald Corwin’s accident occurred was located at the intersection of East 56th Street and Madison Avenue. Id. ¶ 98. The City issued a permit to NYCBS for the installation of the station on July 22, 2013, and the station equipment was installed on July 30, 2013. Id. ¶¶ 103-04. [**12] The City approved APD’s design drawing of the station on August 6, 2013, including all street treatment. Id. ¶ 100. The approved design had only one wheel stop at the west end of the station, [*484] no thermoplastic striping within the boxes at the ends of the station, a station width of eight feet, and a total of six delineators. ECF No. 301, Alta Planning and Design Rule 56.1 Statement (“APD St.”) ¶ 30. None of the site plan drawings, including the approved drawing, contained a wheel stop at the east end of the station closest to Madison Avenue. The street treatment at the East 56th Street and Madison Avenue station was installed on or about October 22, 2013. APD St. ¶ 31. Notwithstanding its absence on the approved plan, a wheel stop was installed at the east end of the station as well, and the station did not conform to the approved plan in several other respects: the station footprint was made wider by the installation of thermoplastic striping more than eight feet in width, additional delineators were added, and cross-hatched striping was installed on either end of the station underneath the wheel stops. Id. ¶ 34. Though this is disputed by the defendants, Corwin argues that the wider footprint [**13] is relevant because, as it provided less clearance between the edge of the station and moving traffic, it would have encouraged a cyclist to use the station itself as a temporary riding lane. ECF No. 335, Decl. of Pl.’s Exp. James E. Green, ¶¶ 56-58. The City denies approving the installation of a second wheel stop at this site, and claims that its records do not show that it had written notice regarding the additional wheel stop. City St. ¶¶ 102, 106, 108. The entity responsible for installing the wheel stop is contested; Metro Express and Sealcoat contend that an October 18, 2013 email from NYCBS informed them only of the need for repairs to the station, and that after Sealcoat representative Ryan Landeck visited the station on October 22, 2013, he reported that there was nothing to be done at the station in a October 24, 2013 email to Metro Express. ECF No. 368-3, Landeck Depo. at 41, 51; ECF No. 368-4, Landeck Oct. 24, 2013 E-mail. Metro Express further contends that the City had often instructed NYCBS, who in turn had instructed Metro Express to install “Supplemental Street Treatments” not depicted on station plans, and that such supplemental installations included second wheel [**14] stops. ECF No. 368-8, May 17, 2013 Email; ECF No. 335-20, Strasser 06/28/16 Depo. at 48-51. Metro Express alleges that on July 17, 2013, and October 9, 2013, it was specifically ordered by NYCBS to install a second wheel stop not depicted on station plans at three stations around the network. ECF 368-10; 368-11; 368-12; 368-13; 368-14. There is no direct evidence in the record, however, that such a request was ever issued for the East 56th Street and Madison Avenue station. Ronald Corwin signed up online for an annual Citi Bike membership on June 25, 2013. Corwin St. ¶ 15. Corwin does not remember the details of the process, and did not recall clicking on or reading the Bicycle Rental, Liability Waiver, and Release Agreement as a condition of membership. Id. ¶ 18. Nevertheless, he did admit in deposition testimony that “I don’t deny that I signed whatever it is I had to sign in order to get my Citi Bike Pass.” NYCBS St. ¶ 21. NYCBS has not, however, produced a version of the Agreement dated contemporaneously to Corwin’s registration, or Corwin’s actual electronic signature. Corwin St. ¶ 22. While the applicability and enforceability [**15] of the Release Agreement is disputed by the parties, there is no serious dispute as to its content. NYCBS has produced an agreement dated July 25, 2014, and Justin Ginsburgh, former General Manager of [*485] NYCBS and current Vice President of Business Development of its parent company Motivate Inc./Alta Bicycle Share, testified that this agreement was active on the date that Corwin became a member. ECF No. 316, Ginsburgh Decl. ¶¶ 10; ECF No. 371-3, Ginsburgh Supp. Decl. ¶¶ 2-3; ECF 316-1, Bicycle Rental, Liability Waiver, and Release Agreement (“Release Agreement”). Ginsburgh attested that it would be impossible to become a Citi Bike member without first being shown the Release Agreement in a scrollable text box and then clicking a box stating “I certify that I am the Member, I am 18 years old or over, and I have read and agree to the conditions set forth in (sic) User Agreement.” NYCBS St. ¶¶ 17-18; City St. ¶¶ 118-20. In exchange for You being allowed to use any of the Services, Citi Bike bicycles, Stations, Bike Docks, or related information, You . . . do hereby fully and forever release [**16] and discharge all Released Persons for all Claims that You have or may have against any Released Person, except for Claims caused by the Released Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Such releases are intended to be general and complete releases of all Claims. The Released Persons may plead such releases as a complete and sufficient defense to any Claim, as intended 3rd beneficiaries of such releases. “Claims” is defined in the Release Agreement as “any and all claims, injuries, demands, liabilities, disputes, causes of action (including statutory, contract, negligence, or other tort theories), proceedings [or] damages that arise from or relate to (a) any of the Services, including any of the Citi Bike bicycles, Stations, Bike Docks, or related information . . . .” “Released Persons” is defined in the Agreement, as relevant, as including: “(i) NYCBS and all of its owners, managers, affiliates, employees, agents, representatives, successors, and assigns [and] (ii) the City of New York.” You do hereby acknowledge and agree that your use of any of the services, Citi Bike bicycles, stations, bike docks, or releated [sic] information, is at your sole risk. . . .

The total liability of NYCBS and all other released persons for all claims, including those based in contract, tort (including negligence), statutory, or other grounds, is limited to the sum of $100. Member agrees that riding a Citi Bike bicycle involves many obvious and not-so-obvious risks, dangers, and hazards, which may result in injury or death to Member or others, as well as damage to property, and that such risks, dangers, and hazards cannot always be predicted or avoided. Member agrees that such risks, dangers, and hazards are Member’s sole responsibility. At 10:57 a.m. on October 25, 2013, Ronald Corwin picked up a Citi Bike at a station located on the southeastern corner of 6th Avenue and East 56th Street. From there, he travelled in the direction of Grand Central Station. Corwin St. ¶ 25; NYCBS St. ¶ 32. He was not wearing a helmet. Corwin St. ¶ 26; City St. ¶ 137. Corwin proceeded eastbound in the [**19] traffic lane on East 56th Street, with vehicular traffic proceeding to his left. NYCBS St. ¶ 34. Because Corwin claimed to have been “under pressure” from the vehicular traffic, he turned into the Citi Bike station on East 56th Street and Madison Avenue. Id. ¶ 35. The station area was indicated by a perimeter of 4 inch white thermoplastic stripes on the asphalt roadway, and three foot tall white flexible delineators with gray reflective tape spaced approximately every 10 feet along the thermoplastic striping. Id. ¶ 36. At either end of the station, unpainted concrete wheel stops measuring 5 feet, 10.5 inches long by five inches high, were installed on the roadway. Id. ¶ 40. These wheel stops were framed by a box of white thermoplastic striping with diagonal cross-hatching, staked out by three-foot tall flexible delineators. Id. ¶ 41. While he was travelling within the station “envelope,” the front wheel of Corwin’s Citi Bike hit the concrete wheel stop installed near the crosswalk at the Madison Avenue end of the station, causing him to crash onto the pavement and sustain serious injury. Corwin St. ¶ 26.

The moving party bears the initial burden of establishing that there are no material facts in dispute and must provide “affirmative evidence” from which a factfinder could return a verdict in its favor. Id. at 257. Then “the burden shifts to the nonmovant to point to record evidence creating a genuine issue of material fact.” Salahuddin v. Goord, 467 F.3d 263, 273 (2d Cir. 2006). “[T]he trial court’s task at the summary judgment motion stage of the litigation is carefully limited to discerning whether there are any genuine issues of material fact to be tried, not to [*487] deciding them. Its duty, in short, is confined at this point to issue-finding; it does not extend to issue-resolution.” Gallo v. Prudential Residential Servs., LP, 22 F.3d 1219, 1224 (2d Cir. 1994). In determining whether summary judgment is appropriate, the court must resolve all ambiguities and draw all reasonable inferences in the light most favorable to the non-moving party. See Scott v. Harris, 550 U.S. 372, 378, 127 S. Ct. 1769, 167 L. Ed. 2d 686 (2007). Summary judgment is improper if “there is any evidence in the record from any source from which a reasonable inference [**21] could be drawn in favor of the nonmoving party. . . .” Chambers v. TRM Copy Ctrs. Corp., 43 F.3d 29, 37 (2d Cir. 1994). To create a disputed fact sufficient to deny summary judgment, the non-moving party must produce evidence in the record and “may not rely simply on conclusory statements or on contentions that the affidavits supporting the motion are not credible. . . .” Ying Jing Gan v. City of New York, 996 F.2d 522, 532 (2d Cir. 1993). Instead, the response “must set forth specific facts demonstrating that there is a genuine issue for trial.” Wright v. Goord, 554 F.3d 255, 266 (2d Cir. 2009) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). It is undisputed that in order to become a member of Citi Bike, Corwin would have been required to assent to a release of claims as set forth in the Bicycle Rental, Liability Waiver, and Release Agreement (“Release Agreement”). This Agreement covered “any and all claims, injuries, demands, liabilities, causes of action (including statutory, contract, negligence, or other tort theories) . . . that arise from or relate to (a) any of the Services, including any of the Citi Bike bicycles, Stations, Bike Docks, or related information or (b) Your use of any of the foregoing.” It required Corwin to “discharge all Released Persons for all Claims that You have or may have against any Released Person, except [**22] for Claims caused by the Released Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.” ECF 316-1, Release Agreement. As relevant here, the Agreement expressly included NYCBS and the City of New York, as well as all of NYCBS’s “owners, managers, affiliates, employees, agents, representatives, successors, and assigns” within the definition of “Released Persons.” Id. Corwin moves for partial summary judgment to strike the City and NYCBS’s affirmative defenses based on the Release Agreement, arguing that the Agreement is ambiguous, contrary to law, and/or void as a matter of public policy. For their part, the City and NYCBS move for summary judgment arguing that Corwin’s negligence claims against them are waived by the release, with the exception of those sounding in gross negligence. Though it is not expressly named in the release, APD also argues that the claims against it are released because of its relationship to NYCBS. As a threshold issue, the Court considers if there is a genuine dispute as to whether Corwin signed a release and, if so, its scope. Corwin argues that because defendants have failed to produce an actual copy of the Release Agreement with his electronic signature, or a [**23] copy of the Agreement as it existed when he became an annual member, defendants cannot demonstrate that he signed the waiver at all. Defendants have produced a declaration from Justin Ginsburgh, former General Manager of NYCBS and current Vice President of Business Development of its parent company Motivate Inc./Alta Bicycle Share, that describes the membership process and states that Corwin would have [*488] had to agree to the terms of the Agreement in order to become a member. ECF No. 316, Ginsburgh Decl., ¶¶ 7-9. Ginsburgh also declares that the Release Agreement appended to his declaration, dated July 15, 2014, was a “true and complete copy of the User Agreement that was in effect in May 2013 when Mr. Corwin became a Citi Bike member.”3 Id. at ¶ 10; ECF No. 371-3, Ginsburgh Supp. Decl., ¶¶ 2-3 (“The User Agreement . . . was fully in effect when plaintiff Ronald Corwin obtained his Citi Bike membership on June 25, 2013.”). Ginsburgh had previously noted in deposition testimony, however, that he was no longer in his General Manager position as of April 1, 2014, and therefore “[didn’t] know if any changes occurred [to the membership signup] after that.” ECF No. 360-6, Justin Ginsburgh Depo. [**24] at 463. Corwin stated in deposition testimony that he completed the membership application and “signed whatever it is [he] had to sign in order to get [his] Citi Bike pass,” but did not remember the contents of the Agreement or whether he had read it. ECF No. 315-4, Ronald Corwin 9/9/2015 Depo. at 195. 3 The first Ginsburgh Declaration inaccurately references Corwin becoming a Citi Bike member in May 2013; in fact, Corwin became a Citi Bike member on June 25, 2013. Corwin has failed to “set forth specific facts demonstrating that there is a genuine issue for trial,” Wright, 554 F.3d at 266, as to the existence and scope of the Agreement. Defendants have produced declaration testimony from Justin Ginsburgh, and Corwin has challenged the credibility of those statements. He has not, however, despite extensive discovery, introduced any evidence that there was an agreement with different terms in effect when Corwin became a Citi Bike member, or even any evidence that raises doubt as to whether the Agreement provided by defendants was in effect. Nor has Corwin provided any evidence that he was somehow able to sign up for his Citi Bike membership without following the process described by Ginsburgh, which required him to manifest assent to the Release Agreement. Therefore, Corwin has failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact regarding the existence of a contract between [**25] the parties. Accordingly, whether or not Corwin’s claims are barred by the Release Agreement shall depend solely on the effectiveness of Corwin’s assent under the circumstances, and the enforceability of the waiver provisions as to the various defendants. The first question for the Court’s consideration is whether, absent any overarching questions of statutory or common law public policy, the contract is enforceable on its own terms or whether, as Corwin argues, it is an “unconscionable and unenforceable contract of adhesion.” A contract or clause is unconscionable when it was “both procedurally and substantively unconscionable when made–i.e., some showing of an absence of meaningful choice on the part of one of the parties together with contract terms which are unreasonably favorable to the other party.” Gillman v. Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., 73 N.Y.2d 1, 10, 534 N.E.2d 824, 537 N.Y.S.2d 787 (1988) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted); see also Desiderio v. Nat’l Ass’n of Sec. Dealers, Inc., 191 F.3d 198, 207 (2d Cir. 1999). The parties agree that the contract in question is a “clickwrap” agreement. Such an agreement requires the user to take an affirmative action, usually, the clicking of a box that states that he or she has read and agrees to the terms of [*489] service. “[U]nder a clickwrap arrangement, [**26] potential licensees are presented with the proposed license terms and forced to expressly and unambiguously manifest either assent or rejection prior to being given access to the product.” Register.com, Inc. v. Verio, Inc., 356 F.3d 393, 429 (2d Cir. 2004). Clickwrap agreements are “more readily enforceable [than online contracts that do not require the user to take an affirmative action], since they ‘permit courts to infer that the user was at least on inquiry notice of the terms of the agreement, and has outwardly manifested consent by clicking a box.'” Meyer v. Kalanick, No. 15-CV-9796 (JSR), 199 F. Supp. 3d 752, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 99921, 2016 WL 4073071, at *6 (S.D.N.Y. July 29, 2016) (citing Cullinane v. Uber Techs., Inc., No. 14-CV-14750 (DPW), 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 89540, 2016 WL 3751652, at *6 (D. Mass. July 11, 2016)). While the Court of Appeals has not categorically ruled on the issue, it has strongly implied that such contracts are presumptively enforceable. See, e.g., Starkey v. G Adventures, Inc., 796 F.3d 193, 197 (2d Cir. 2015) (noting that case would have been “simpler to resolve had [defendant] used a ‘clickwrap’ mechanism to provide reasonable notice and to obtain [plaintiff’s] assent”). Accordingly, most lower courts have enforced such contracts, absent extraordinary circumstances. See Berkson v. Gogo LLC, 97 F. Supp. 3d 359, 397 (E.D.N.Y. 2015) (collecting cases); Centrifugal Force, Inc. v. Softnet Commc’n, Inc., No. 08-CV-5463 (CM), 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 20536, 2011 WL 744732, at *7 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 1, 2011) (“In New York, clickwrap agreements are valid and enforceable contracts.”). Nevertheless, a user’s clicking of a box is not, without more, sufficient to signal their assent to any contract term. The touchstone in most courts’ analysis of the enforceability [**27] of clickwrap contracts turns on whether the website provided “reasonably conspicuous notice that [users] are about to bind themselves to contract terms.” Specht v. Netscape Commc’ns Corp., 306 F.3d 17, 32 (2d Cir. 2002) (Sotomayor, J.). In many cases, this becomes a fact-intensive inquiry because “electronic agreements fall along a spectrum in the degree to which they provide notice, and it is difficult to draw bright-line rules because each user interface differs from others in distinctive ways.” Meyer, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 99921, 2016 WL 4073071, at *8. In Berkson, Judge Weinstein of the Eastern District of New York, surveying cases from federal courts nationwide, provided a useful set of parameters to guide this inquiry. First, terms of use should not be enforced if a reasonably prudent user would not have had at the very least inquiry notice of the terms of the agreement. Berkson, 97 F. Supp. 3d at 401 (citing Nguyen v. Barnes & Noble Inc., 763 F.3d 1171, 1177 (9th Cir. 2014)). Second, terms should be enforced when a user is encouraged by the design and content of the website and the agreement’s webpage to examine the terms, such as when they are clearly available through hyperlink. Id. (citing Ticketmaster Corp. v. Tickets.Com, Inc., No. 99-CV-7654 (HLH), 2003 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 6483, 2003 WL 21406289, at *2 (C.D. Cal. Mar. 7, 2003)). Conversely, terms should not be enforced when they are “buried at the bottom of a webpage” or “tucked away in obscure corners.” Id. at 401-02 (collecting cases refusing to enforce such agreements). Special attention [**28] should be paid to whether the site design brought the consumer’s attention to “material terms that would alter what a reasonable consumer would understand to be her default rights when initiating an online [transaction],” and, in appropriate cases, such terms should not be enforced even when the contract is otherwise enforceable. Id. at 402; see also Meyer, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 99921, 2016 WL 4073071, at *10 (“When contractual terms as significant as . . . the right to sue in court are accessible only via a small and distant hyperlink . . . with text [*490] about agreement thereto presented even more obscurely, there is a genuine risk that a fundamental principle of contract formation will be left in the dust: the requirement for a manifestation of mutual assent.”) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Broad exculpatory clauses waiving liability for negligence would certainly qualify as material terms that alter a contracting party’s commonly-understood default rights. In this case, NYCBS represents that “before the prospective member can proceed to pay for the membership, each person is shown the . . . ‘User Agreement.’ The User Agreement is displayed on the page in its own scrollable text box, which may also be opened in a new window for ease [**29] of viewing and printing.” ECF No. 316, Ginsburgh Decl., at ¶ 7. The “continue” button allowing Corwin to provide his payment information would not activate until Corwin clicked on a statement reading “I certify that I am the Member, I am 18 years old or over, and I have read and agree to the conditions set forth in [sic] User Agreement.” Id. at ¶¶ 8-9; Release Agreement, ECF No. 316-1 at 56. The Release Agreement itself, roughly 10 pages in length, contained a bold-faced and underlined section in larger font titled “Releases; Disclaimers; Limited Liability; Assumption of the Risk.” The text of the sections in question are in normal-sized font. Though Corwin stated that he had no specific recollection of reading and signing the Release Agreement, he did admit “I don’t deny that I signed whatever it is I had to sign in order to get my Citi Bike pass.” ECF No. 315-4, Ronald Corwin 9/9/2015 Depo. at 195. Applying the considerations in Berkson, the Release Agreement is enforceable. The full scrollable text of the agreement was available on the same page a user must utilize to register, requiring no clicking of hyperlinks, and the user cannot continue to input his payment information until [**30] he signals assent to the agreement by taking the affirmative step of clicking a box. While it is possible to imagine clearer signaling of the importance of the waiver provisions to an unwary or unsophisticated consumer, the terms are not hidden or buried in an obscure part of the website, but rather are in plain view. Accordingly, the Release Agreement is not unconscionable, and Corwin is not entitled to strike the City and NYCBS’s affirmative defenses on this basis. To be enforceable, an exculpatory agreement must be stated in clear, coherent, unambiguous language and expressly release a defendant from ordinary claims. See, e.g., Spancake v. Aggressor Fleet Ltd., No. 91-CV-5628 (DLC), 1995 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 7319, 1995 WL 322148, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. May 26, 1995). Corwin argues that the waiver is unenforceable due to ambiguity, finding a conflict between Section 8 (“Limited Liability”), which purports to release defendants from claims arising from riders’ “failure to wear a bicycle helmet while using a Citi Bike bicycle,” and Section 5, which does not list failing to wear a helmet as one of 11 “Prohibited Acts.” ECF 316-1, Release Agreement. There is plainly no contradiction between Section 5 and Section 8. Section 5 lists actions, such as defacing a Citi Bike bicycle, transferring a bicycle to a non-member, or using a cellphone while riding that [**31] could presumably lead to contractual consequences for the member. Not wearing a helmet is not prohibited, which is also consistent with New York law allowing adult cyclists to ride without a helmet. See infra Part III. Section 8 instead provides a non-exhaustive list of circumstances for which the [*491] contract seeks to limit liability. On its face, the fact that this list is not identical to that in Section 5 presents no contradiction, as they are presented for entirely different purposes.4 Moreover, the examples in Section 8 are meant only to illustrate some of the circumstances under which liability is to be limited; the section refers to limited liability for “any claim, including those that arise out of or relate to . . . your failure to wear a bicycle helmet while using Citi Bike bicycle.” Id. (emphasis added). 4 On wholly separate grounds, in Part III of its opinion, the Court grants Corwin summary judgment on Defendants’ affirmative defenses that Corwin’s failure to wear a bicycle helmet relieves them of liability because as a matter of New York law, the failure to wear a helmet goes only to the question of mitigation of damages. This does not, however, affect the clear and unambiguous nature of the waiver provisions. New York law “frowns upon contracts intended to exculpate a party from the consequences of his own negligence and though, with certain exceptions, they are enforceable, such agreements are subject to close judicial scrutiny.” Gross v. Sweet, 49 N.Y.2d 102, 106, 400 N.E.2d 306, 424 N.Y.S.2d 365 (1979). Therefore, an exculpatory contract must express “in unequivocal terms the [**32] intention of the parties to relieve a defendant of liability for the defendant’s negligence.” Lago v. Krollage, 78 N.Y.2d 95, 100, 575 N.E.2d 107, 571 N.Y.S.2d 689 (1991); Roane v. Greenwich Swim Comm., 330 F. Supp. 2d 306, 321 (S.D.N.Y. 2004) (finding that appearance of the actual word “negligence” was significant in determining whether exculpatory contract was to be enforced). But “even an agreement that clearly and unambiguously attempts to exempt a party only from liability for ordinary negligence will not be enforced . . . if it is found to violate public policy . . . .” Ash v. New York Univ. Dental Ctr., 164 A.D.2d 366, 369, 564 N.Y.S.2d 308 (1st Dep’t 1990). Public policy “is to be ascertained by reference to the laws and legal precedents and not from general considerations of supposed public interests.” Lubov v. Horing & Welikson, P.C., 72 A.D.3d 752, 753, 898 N.Y.S.2d 244 (2d Dep’t 2010) (citation omitted); see also Lewis v. N.Y. State Dep’t of Civil Serv., 60 A.D.3d 216, 222, 872 N.Y.S.2d 578 (3d Dep’t 2009) (defining New York public policy as “the law of the [s]tate, whether found in the Constitution, the statutes or judicial records”) (citation omitted). Parties may, however, “agree to give up statutory or constitutional rights in a contract, as long as public policy is not violated.” J. D’Addario & Co., Inc. v. Embassy Indus., Inc., 20 N.Y.3d 113, 119, 980 N.E.2d 940, 957 N.Y.S.2d 275 (2012). Corwin argues that the Release Agreement violates three sources of public policy–New York City Administrative Code § 19-110, which provides that municipal permit holders may be held liable for their own negligence, New York General Obligations Law § 5-326, which invalidates exculpatory clauses in agreements with operators of recreational facilities, and [**33] the City’s non-delegable common-law duty to maintain the public streets. Liability for damage. In all cases where any person shall engage in any activity for which a permit is required pursuant to [the subchapter concerning streets [*492] and sidewalks], such person shall be liable for any damage which may be occasioned to persons, animals, or property by reason of negligence in any manner connected with the work. Corwin argues that this statute represents a “public policy” intended to provide a “statutory remedy” against all persons who negligently perform work subject to the issuance of a permit. He notes that there was no explicit reference to waiving any rights or remedies under NYCAC § 19-110 in the Release Agreement, but even if there were, such a waiver would be unenforceable because of an alleged public policy to protect the public and ensure a remedy against any person acting under a permit to individuals injured by their negligence. Case law regarding § 19-110 (and its predecessor provision, § 19-107) is sparse, and no court has held that § 19-110 provides a statutory right at all–much less a non-waivable statutory right elevated to [**34] the status of public policy. Instead, the available case law deals exclusively with whether the statute can be invoked as a basis for the City to seek indemnification, as opposed to contribution, from a negligent municipal contractor. See City of New York v. Consol. Edison Co., 198 A.D.2d 31, 31-32, 603 N.Y.S.2d 47 (1st Dep’t 1993) (finding that statute did not provide a basis for indemnification, but rather only that a contractor was responsible for its own negligence); Petrucci v. City of New York, 167 A.D.2d 29, 34, 569 N.Y.S.2d 624 (1st Dep’t 1991) (concluding that statute did not provide a basis for indemnification of the City, but only an “intent to render the contractor responsible for those damages actually caused to injured third parties or property by its own negligence or carelessness”); Libardi v. City of New York, 201 A.D.2d 539, 540-41, 607 N.Y.S.2d 717 (2d Dep’t 1994) (same). This limited case law appears to do no more than clarify, in line with common-law negligence principles, that the City may seek contribution for damages to third parties occasioned by a negligent contractor or property owner conducting work pursuant to a municipal permit. It is plainly insufficient to constitute an overarching public policy guaranteeing Corwin the right to sue any contractor notwithstanding a contractual waiver. Indeed, Corwin has cited no case in which the statute was interpreted to provide a plaintiff a private right of action or a “statutory [**35] remedy” differing in any way from a common-law negligence claim. Accordingly, NYCAC § 19-110 cannot serve as a basis for invalidating the Release Agreement. New York has a statutory restriction that invalidates exculpatory clauses or agreements between users and owners and operators of recreational facilities. N.Y. General Obligations Law (“GOL”) § 5-326 provides: Every covenant, agreement or understanding in or in connection with, or collateral to, any contract, membership application, ticket of admission or similar writing, entered into between the owner or operator of any pool, gymnasium, place of amusement or recreation, or similar establishment and the user of such facilities, pursuant to which such owner or operator receives a fee or other compensation for the use of such facilities, which exempts the said owner or operator from liability for damages caused by or resulting from the negligence of the owner, operator or person in charge of such establishment, or their agents, servants or employees, shall be [*493] deemed to be void as against public policy and wholly unenforceable. The Release Agreement explicitly refers to this statute, noting that Released Persons are not “responsible or liable . . . except as may [**36] otherwise be limited by New York General Obligations Law 5-326.” ECF No. 316-1. In order for GOL § 5-326 to apply, the plain text of the statute indicates that the agreement in question must (1) be made between a user and an owner or operator of a “place of amusement or recreation” or “similar establishment,” and (2) a fee or other compensation must be paid for “use” of a “facility” covered by the statute. Courts that have considered situations where equipment was rented and taken out of the control of the facility owner or operator have additionally considered whether the owner or operator exercised a substantial level of control over the environment in which the recreational activity takes place. See, e.g., Dumez v. Harbor Jet Ski, Inc., 117 Misc. 2d 249, 250, 458 N.Y.S.2d 119 (Sup. Ct. Niagara Cty. 1981). Corwin argues that the Citi Bike program was primarily, or at the very least, substantially, a “recreational” program, and that the defendants’ business plan presupposed a significant number of daily and recreational users. He cites to a state court proceeding in which a neighborhood association challenged the installation of a Citi Bike station in a public park on the grounds that it was purely a commuter program. There, the City argued and the court held that the program fulfilled a valid recreational purpose. Friends of Petrosino Square v. Sadik-Khan, 42 Misc. 3d 226, 977 N.Y.S.2d 580 (Sup. Ct. N.Y. Cty. 2013), aff’d, 126 A.D.3d 470, 5 N.Y.S.3d 397 (1st Dep’t 2015). Therefore, [**37] according to Corwin, because the Citi Bike rental station where the accident occurred was a “place of recreation,” and he paid a fee to access the facility in the form of his annual membership, GOL § 5-326 operates to invalidate the exculpatory clause in the contract.5 5 Corwin also argues that the express language in the Release Agreement referencing GOL § 5-326 operates as an admission that negligence claims stemming from Citi Bike are not waivable and “is compelling proof of defendants’ recognition that [the] waiver is void.” ECF No. 361, Pl.’s Reply Mem. at 8. This is incorrect. Rather, the reference to GOL § 5-326 is plainly to ensure that the waiver provisions are not overbroad, putting users on notice that any such claims, were they to exist, would not be waived. It is not an admission that such claims actually could exist, or that in this case they do exist. While the parties may dispute whether Corwin’s fateful Citi Bike ride was “recreational” in character, it is clear that the applicability of GOL § 5-326 cannot possibly turn on whether the given individual was using the bicycle recreationally or for commuting purposes. Defendants, moreover, argue that the statute does not apply because the membership fee does not entitle the user access or use of any physical facility; the fee is solely for the rental of a bike, while any individual is free to traverse the Citi Bike stations or New York City streets. Several New York courts have held that GOL § 5-326 does not apply to accidents occurring on publicly accessible roadways, trails, or fields. See Deutsch v. Woodridge Segway, LLC, 117 A.D.3d 776, 777, 985 N.Y.S.2d 716 (2d Dep’t 2014) (statute not applied to plaintiff who rented a Segway vehicle and was taken on defendant-guided tour of muddy public trail “because the fee she paid to the defendant was for the rental of the Segway vehicle, and was not an admission [**38] fee for the use of the public trail over which the tour was conducted”); [*494] Brookner v. N.Y. Roadrunners Club, Inc., 51 A.D.3d 841, 842, 858 N.Y.S.2d 348 (2d Dep’t 2008) (statute not applied to marathon runner because entry fee “was for his participation in the marathon, and was not an admission fee allowing him to use the City-owned public roadway over which the marathon was run” and “public roadway in Brooklyn where the plaintiff alleges he was injured is not a ‘place of amusement or recreation'”); Tedesco v. Triborough Bridge & Tunnel Auth., 250 A.D.2d 758, 758, 673 N.Y.S.2d 181 (2d Dep’t 1998) (statute not applied to cyclist on paid bike tour “since the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, where the plaintiff . . . was injured, is not a ‘place of amusement or recreation'”); Stuhlweissenburg v. Town of Orangetown, 223 A.D.2d 633, 634, 636 N.Y.S.2d 853 (2d Dep’t 1996) (statute not applied to accident occurring in softball game where no fee was paid to access field). In seeking to reconcile [**39] the case law, Defendants point out that every court to consider the applicability of GOL § 5-326 to an accident occurring on a public, paved, urban street has found the statute to be inapplicable. Corwin, for his part, argues that these cases are inapposite because the bike station was not part of a public road at all, but rather a separate “recreational facility” that happened to be located on a public road.6 6 If true, this, of course, would contradict Corwin’s argument that the Release Agreement is unenforceable as to the City because it purports to waive the City’s non-delegable duty to maintain its roads. Considering the case law and the legislative intent animating the statute, the Court finds as a matter of law that a Citi Bike station is not a “facility” for the purposes of § 5-326. The stations are plainly more properly characterized as storage facilities for bicycles rather than facilities for recreation in and of themselves. Even if riders incidentally enter or pass through the stations on their bicycles, or if the design of the particular bike station that was the site of the accident encouraged riders to pass through it, this does not turn them into “places of amusement or recreation.” Assuming without deciding that Citi Bike is properly characterized as a primarily recreational program, the intended sites for that recreational use are the City’s roadways and bike lanes–the very types of [**40] paved public thoroughfares that courts have held are not “places of amusement or recreation.” See, e.g., Brookner, 51 A.D.3d at 842. Therefore, the station can only be defined in two ways: either it is part of the public road on which riders are meant to engage in recreational activity, or it is a storage facility that is not part of the roadway. Either way, it is not a “place of amusement or recreation” or “similar establishment,” as required to trigger the statute. Accordingly, GOL § 5-326 cannot serve as a basis for invalidating the Release Agreement. New York courts have long held “that a municipality owe[s] to the public the absolute [*495] duty of keeping its streets in a reasonably safe condition.” Friedman v. State, 67 N.Y.2d 271, 283, 493 N.E.2d 893, 502 N.Y.S.2d 669 (1986) (quotations omitted); see also Wittorf v. City of New York., 23 N.Y.3d 473, 480, 991 N.Y.S.2d 578, 15 N.E.3d 333 (2014) (“[A] municipality has a duty to maintain its roads and highways in a reasonably safe condition and liability will flow for injuries resulting from a breach of that duty.”). As this duty has been characterized as “absolute” and “non-delegable” (though subject to the doctrine of qualified immunity, see infra Part IV), Corwin argues that the City’s duty applies to the bike station and wheel stop at issue and cannot be released by means of a private contract. The City [**41] contends that while it does indeed have a duty to maintain public roadways, a contractual waiver of this duty is permissible and would not offend any overarching public policy. Before considering whether the City’s duty to maintain public roadways may be released by contract to a voluntary participant in a public transportation program such as Citi Bike, the Court must first determine whether the Citi Bike station where Corwin’s accident occurred properly falls within the scope of that duty. Indeed, defendants argue repeatedly that cyclists are not intended to use bike station areas as a travel lane, and that those facilities are intended only for the storage, retrieval, and return of bicycles. They contend that the presence of the concrete wheel stops and surrounding cross-hatching, white thermoplastic striping, and flexible delineators plainly distinguished the bike station from the adjoining roadway, and should have indicated to a cyclist that it was an area in which cycling was not permitted. In determining the scope of a municipality’s duty, New York courts have generally considered whether the municipality affirmatively undertook to provide an improved area adjacent to the road, [**42] such as a shoulder. If so, it has generally been held to be responsible for its maintenance. See Bottalico v. State, 59 N.Y.2d 302, 305, 451 N.E.2d 454, 464 N.Y.S.2d 707 (1983) (finding highway shoulder to be within scope of duty because it was “both foreseeable and contemplated that, once provided, an improved shoulder at times will be driven upon”). The touchstone of this analysis is foreseeability. It does not necessarily depend on the reasonableness of a plaintiff’s conduct. A municipality is required to “maintain the shoulder in a reasonably safe condition for foreseeable uses, including its use resulting from a driver’s negligence.” Id. at 304; see also Stiuso v. City of New York, 87 N.Y.2d 889, 891, 663 N.E.2d 321, 639 N.Y.S.2d 1009 (1995) (same); Saulpaugh v. State, 132 A.D.2d 781, 781-82, 517 N.Y.S.2d 328 (4th Dep’t 1987) (same). On the other hand, no duty exists where a paved roadway “is more than adequate for safe public passage and travel beyond those limits is neither contemplated nor foreseeable.” Tomassi v. Town of Union, 46 N.Y.2d 91, 97, 385 N.E.2d 581, 412 N.Y.S.2d 842 (1978) (noting that “utility poles, drainage ditches, culverts, trees and shrubbery are often in close proximity to the traveled right of way . . . [b]ut for the careful driver, the placement of these items near the pavement creates no unreasonable danger”). The courts have repeatedly denied recovery for roadway users whose injury stemmed from the lack of maintenance of areas near the roadway whose use was unforeseeable even in emergencies. [**43] See, e.g., Preston v. State, 6 A.D.3d 835, 836, 775 N.Y.S.2d 115 (3d Dep’t 2004) (no recovery for driver hitting tree seven feet from the edge of the travel line, where “nothing in the record indicat[ed] [*496] that defendant affirmatively took any action to create or maintain the area”); Green v. Cty. of Allegany, 300 A.D.2d 1077, 1077, 752 N.Y.S.2d 487 (4th Dep’t 2002) (no recovery for failure to maintain drainage ditch and culvert headwall); Muller v. State, 240 A.D.2d 881, 882, 658 N.Y.S.2d 727 (3d Dep’t 1997) (no recovery for failure to maintain drainage ditch headwall beyond the traversable shoulder where the “emergency use of such additional area was neither contemplated nor foreseeable”). The record does not demonstrate that the City actively contemplated that cyclists would be passing through Citi Bike stations; indeed, precisely the alleged failure to contemplate this possibility forms the basis for Corwin’s argument that the City is not entitled to qualified immunity on this issue. The Court does find, however, that the possibility of cyclists passing through Citi Bike stations located in on-street parking lanes was foreseeable. At times, defendants’ representatives have seemed to admit that riding in the parking lane was, if not expressly permitted, at least a common practice of cyclists. ECF No. 335-24, Jon Orcutt 09/03/15 Depo. at 396-97. (“There are plenty of places with a wide parking lane . . . where [**44] a wide parking lane is kind of implemented as a stealth bike lane.”) This conclusion is buttressed by a brief traffic study conducted by Corwin’s expert, James M. Green. ECF No. 335, Green Decl. ¶¶ 35, 57 (finding that cyclists regularly circulated through the station at issue and arguing that this was a “foreseeable consequence of this Station design,” which was wider and jutted further out into the traffic lane). But even absent the expert’s study, logic dictates that, just as an automobile is not generally permitted to drive on an improved shoulder but may swerve into it (negligently or not) in a situation where the circumstances so require, it is foreseeable that a cyclist such as Corwin may (negligently or not) enter into the Citi Bike station seeking safety when feeling pressured by tight traffic. This is, perhaps, an imperfect analogy: whereas the express and primary purpose of an improved highway shoulder is to provide a safe outlet for motorists in emergency situations, this is not so for Citi Bike stations, whose primary purpose is the storage, retrieval, and return of bicycles. Nevertheless, the applicable case law does not require that the primary purpose of the improved [**45] space abutting the road be for such emergency uses; as stated above, foreseeability is sufficient to trigger the municipality’s duty. Nor have courts drawn distinctions between motorists and other roadway users; instead, they have found that cyclists may bring claims predicated on state or municipal government’s failure to maintain roadways. See, e.g., Cotty v. Town of Southampton, 64 A.D.3d 251, 255, 880 N.Y.S.2d 656 (2d Dep’t 2009) (primary assumption of risk doctrine “not designed to relieve a municipality of its duty to maintain its roadways in a safe condition . . . and such a result does not become justifiable merely because the roadway happens to be in use by a person operating a bicycle”); Caraballo v. City of Yonkers, 54 A.D.3d 796, 796-97, 865 N.Y.S.2d 229 (2d Dep’t 2008) (“[T[he infant plaintiff cannot be said, as a matter of law, to have assumed the risk of being injured by a defective condition of a pothole on a public street, merely because he was participating in the activity of recreational noncompetitive bicycling, and using the bicycle as a means of transportation.” (citations omitted)). Finally, there can be no question that the duty to maintain the roads applies not only to the physical condition of the road itself, but also to the placement of [*497] obstacles or hazards that make use of the road unsafe. Annino v. City of Utica, 276 N.Y. 192, 196-97, 11 N.E.2d 726 (1937) (municipality found liable [**46] for a tripod dangerously placed over a manhole cover so as to constitute a dangerous obstruction); Whitney v. Town of Ticonderoga, 127 N.Y. 40, 44, 27 N.E. 403 (1891) (“[T]he impairment of a highway for public use may be no less such by an obstruction placed in it than by a physical disturbance or injury to the bed of the roadway.”). Accordingly, the Court finds that the Citi Bike station, including all of its on-street equipment located in the parking lane, falls within the City’s non-delegable duty to maintain the public roads. Therefore, the Court must now decide whether the City can waive this duty by contract as a condition of participating in the Citi Bike public transportation program. “[E]ven an agreement that clearly and unambiguously attempts to exempt a party only from liability for ordinary negligence will not be enforced by the courts . . . if it is found to violate public policy either by way of conflicting with an overriding public interest or because it constitutes an abuse of a special relationship between the parties, or both.” Ash, 164 A.D.2d at 369. Indeed, when choosing to invalidate such clauses, courts have often analyzed the “public interest” and “special relationship” prongs together. See id. at 369-71 (invalidating exculpatory clause between dental clinic and patient both [**47] because of the public interest in protecting the welfare of its citizens and ensuring medical quality and the uniqueness of the physician-patient relationship); Conklin v. Canadian-Colonial Airways, Inc., 266 N.Y. 244, 247-48, 194 N.E. 692 (1935) (invalidating clause between common carrier and passenger because allowing public service corporations to disclaim all liability for negligence by contract is contrary to public interest, and passengers are not typically given a choice in contracting); Johnston v. Fargo, 184 N.Y. 379, 384-85, 77 N.E. 388 (1906) (invalidating exculpatory clause between employer and employees both because of the state interest in the “maintenance of proper and reasonable safeguards to human life and limb” and the unequal bargaining power between the parties). On the other hand, courts have readily enforced exculpatory clauses in arm’s length commercial transactions between two private parties, see, e.g., Florence v. Merchants Cent. Alarm Co., Inc., 51 N.Y.2d 793, 412 N.E.2d 1317, 433 N.Y.S.2d 91 (1980), when not expressly prohibited by statute. No case has considered the specific question of whether a municipality’s duty to keep its streets in a reasonably safe condition for travel can be waived by contract. For almost two centuries, however, New York state courts have spoken of an “absolute” duty that could not be delegated to third parties. See Annino, 276 N.Y. at 196 (1937) (“The city owed to the public the absolute duty of [**48] keeping its streets in a reasonably safe condition for travel and was bound to exercise reasonable care to accomplish that end.”) (emphasis added) (citations omitted); Storrs v. City of Utica, 17 N.Y. 104, 108-09 (1858) (finding that municipal corporations “owe[] to the public the duty of keeping its streets in a safe condition for travel” and “although the work may be let out by contract, the corporation still remains charged with the care and control of the street in which the improvement is carried on . . . [and cannot] either avoid indictment in behalf of the public or its liability to individuals who are injured.”). The only significant exception to this nondelegable duty is that “it is intended to protect the traveling public”–therefore, [*498] the duty has been held not to extend to injured employees of independent contractors working on road construction projects. Lopes v. Rostad, 45 N.Y.2d 617, 624-25, 384 N.E.2d 673, 412 N.Y.S.2d 127 (1978). In reaching this conclusion, the Lopes court stated that, because the government is responsible for providing the public with roads and highways for travel: [w]ith this responsibility comes the further obligation to assure, insofar as is reasonably possible, that the thoroughfares of travel will be constructed and maintained in a safe condition. A governmental body would hardly [**49] have fulfilled its responsibility if the roadways it provided for public use were a source of public danger. It is for this reason that “[g]overnments have ever been most zealous to afford special protection to the users of streets, highways and other means of transportation” (1936 Report of NY, Law Rev Comm, p 955). Corwin, a cyclist passing through a bike station located in a parking lane on a public street, falls within the category of those deemed protected by a municipality’s duty to maintain its roadways. While it is certainly understandable that the City would seek to limit its exposure to liability stemming from those using the Citi Bike program, its desire to see this salutary transportation initiative succeed is not sufficiently related to the key, centuries-old public policy of guaranteeing the safety of the users of City streets. It is this public policy that underlies its non-delegable duty to keep streets and roadways safe. The City has designed a public transportation system that involves physical installations in parking lanes on heavily transited streets, and permitted a contractor, NYCBS, to implement and manage that program. Even though the purported liability waiver is confined [**50] to road conditions in the circumscribed area of the bike stations, the Court finds that the enforcement of such a waiver against over a million Citi Bike users is contrary to the public policy that dictates that the City has the duty to guarantee road safety.7 7 The waiver would certainly be effective as to claims unrelated to road conditions, such as, for example, the quality of the bicycles or the malfunctioning of the rental kiosks. After all, the fact that Corwin was riding a Citi Bike, as opposed to his own bicycle, at the time of his accident was purely coincidental. The City does not articulate any public policy in barring Corwin’s claim but permitting a claim brought by a non-member of Citi Bike who strikes the same wheel stop while riding his own bicycle. There is no basis for immunizing the City from suit by one class of cyclists–who participate in a highly publicized transportation program such as Citi Bike–while allowing non-Citi Bike users to bring suit for the same accident occurring in the same area of the street. Simply put, the law clearly imposes upon the City a duty to ensure road safety for all pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and road users on all sections of the road that are foreseeably transitable. At oral argument, counsel for the City indicated that the execution of transportation programs such as Citi Bike would not be feasible without [**51] such waivers of liability. But the City is not left wholly unprotected. As discussed in Parts IV and V of this opinion, the finder of fact may determine that the City is entitled to qualified immunity in regards to the station design, or that the City was not “affirmatively negligent” and is thus protected by the notice provisions of New York Administrative Code § 7-201. Therefore, the Court does not believe that its invalidation of the [*499] waiver as to road conditions and hazards within the bike stations threatens the viability of the Citi Bike program. For the foregoing reasons, the Release Agreement effectively releases Corwin’s common-law negligence claims against NYCBS, allowing only claims of gross negligence to proceed against it. The waiver does not apply to the City, however, because such a release of the City’s duty would be contrary to public policy; accordingly, Corwin may proceed with his common-law negligence claims against the City. The Court need not decide if the APD is a “Released Person” under the Agreement, as it grants summary judgment to APD on all claims in Part VIII of this opinion on other grounds. Defendants have set out various affirmative defenses–including comparative negligence, primary assumption of the risk, and failure to mitigate damages–premised on the uncontested fact that Corwin was not wearing a bicycle helmet at the time of the crash. Corwin moves for partial summary judgment on all of these defenses, arguing that there was no statutory obligation that he do so, that the City and NYCBS themselves represented that wearing a helmet was unnecessary, and that New York Vehicle and Traffic Law (“VTL”) § 1238(7) and case law in New York and other jurisdictions expressly prohibits such conduct from being considered for the purposes of liability or damages. As a preliminary matter, Corwin argues that defendants have failed to produce sufficient evidence to raise a factual question as to whether there was an unreasonable risk of a head injury while riding a Citi Bike without a helmet. Summary judgment is improper if “there is any evidence in the record from any source from which a reasonable inference could be drawn in favor of the nonmoving party . . . .” Chambers, 43 F.3d at 37. There are disputed questions of material fact in this case as to both (a) whether a reasonably prudent person in Corwin’s [**53] circumstances would have worn a helmet and (b) whether wearing such a helmet would have mitigated the damages Corwin suffered. See, e.g., ECF No. 344, Decl. of Elizabeth McCalley (arguing that Corwin would not have sustained many of his severe injuries had he worn a helmet). There is no dispute that Corwin was not obligated to wear a helmet while riding a Citi Bike or any other bicycle; unlike the seatbelt requirements of N.Y. VTL § 1229-c, there is no statutory obligation for an adult bicyclist to wear a helmet while riding a bike on a public road. N.Y. VTL § 1238(5) does require children under the age of fourteen to do so, but imposes no affirmative obligations on individuals over that age. A subsection of the same statute also indicates that “the failure of any person to comply with the provisions of this section shall not constitute contributory negligence or assumption of risk, and shall not in any way bar, preclude or foreclose an action for personal injury or wrongful death by or on behalf of such person, nor in any way diminish or reduce the damages recoverable in any such action.” VTL § 1238(7); see also Lamica v. Precore, 273 A.D.2d 647, 647-48, 709 N.Y.S.2d 694 (3d Dep’t 2000) (in accident involving helmetless child on bicycle, dismissing defendants’ counterclaim that parents were negligent [**54] for failing to ensure child wore helmet). Therefore, Corwin argues, if New York has seen fit to preclude expressly the consideration of helmet evidence for either liability or damages purposes even when wearing a helmet is mandated [*500] by law, surely the failure to wear a helmet by someone not obligated to do so by law should be similarly inadmissible. The fact that New York has categorically barred the consideration of such evidence in a statute aimed at the protection of children does not, however, imply that the state has a general public policy against the admission of such evidence for all bicycle riders. Indeed, though Corwin argues that it would be “anomalous and irrational” to admit helmet evidence for an older rider under no legal obligation to wear a helmet, there is a clear and obvious rationale for the limited reach of the statute: a desire to prevent families from being burdened with costs stemming from accidents occurring on account of their young children’s inability to perceive risks, and a determination that parents should not be found negligent for failing to ensure that their children wear helmets. No court has interpreted VTL § 1238(7) to stand for a general public policy that the [**55] failure to wear a helmet is inadmissible for purposes of measuring comparative negligence or mitigation of damages, and the Court declines to do so today. While the New York Court of Appeals has not spoken authoritatively on the specific question of whether the non-use of a bicycle helmet is admissible under such circumstances, the framework that it adopted regarding the non-use of seat belts in automobiles is instructive. At a time when no law mandated that occupants of a passenger car wore seat belts, the court explicitly rejected the failure to wear a seat belt as a basis for contributory negligence8 or primary assumption of the risk, but concluded that: nonuse of an available seat belt . . . is a factor which the jury may consider, in light of all the other facts received in evidence, in arriving at its determination as to whether the plaintiff has exercised due care, not only to avoid injury to himself, but to mitigate any injury he would likely sustain. However . . . the plaintiff’s nonuse of an available seat belt should be strictly limited to the jury’s determination of the plaintiff’s damages and should not be considered by the triers of fact in resolving the issue of liability. [**56] 8 Though the Spier decision was rendered before New York’s adoption of the comparative fault system and therefore discussed only if a plaintiff would be wholly barred from recovery under the then-existing doctrine of contributory negligence, New York courts have consistently considered seat belt evidence exclusively for purposes of mitigation of damages, and not for the apportionment of comparative fault. See, e.g., Stein v. Penatello, 185 A.D.2d 976, 976-77, 587 N.Y.S.2d 37 (2d Dep’t 1992). Therefore, in cases involving the failure to wear a seat belt, New York law imposes a pre-accident obligation to mitigate damages, and the burden of proving that the injured party failed to do so rests upon the defendant. Davis v. Davis, 49 A.D.2d 1024, 1024, 374 N.Y.S.2d 482 (4th Dep’t 1975). Lower New York courts have applied the same principles to other types of protective gear as well. See, e.g., Penzell v. State, 120 Misc. 2d 600, 466 N.Y.S.2d 562, 567 (Ct. Cl. 1983) (motorcycle helmets); Giannetti v. Darling Del. Carting Co., 175 Misc. 2d 1, 666 N.Y.S.2d 372, 374-76 (Sup. Ct. Suffolk Cnty. 1997) (safety gloves in fast food restaurant). And, indeed, in the state court proceedings parallel to this case, the Appellate Division explicitly applied this reasoning to bicycle helmets, noting that “[Corwin’s] failure to use a helmet is akin to a plaintiff’s failure to use a seatbelt in a motor vehicle case. It is well settled that any such failure does not go to comparative liability, but rather to how [*501] damages, if any, should be assessed.” Corwin v. City of New York, 141 A.D.3d 484, 490, 36 N.Y.S.3d 118 (1st Dep’t 2016) (citation omitted).9 To be sure, some courts across the country have reached contrary conclusions.10 See, e.g., Cordy v. Sherwin Williams Co., 975 F. Supp. 639, 647-48 (D.N.J. 1997) (noting that nothing in federal or state law alerts adult cyclists that their rights may be prejudiced by failure to wear a helmet, finding fewer safety concerns with helmetless biking and rejecting analogy to seat belt laws); Walden v. State, 250 Mont. 132, 818 P.2d 1190, 1196-97 (Mont. 1991) (holding same in state where evidence [**57] of seat belt use is inadmissible for mitigation of damages purposes). The decision in Corwin, however, and the logic of Spier and the New York cases extending it beyond the seat belt domain, compel denial of Corwin’s motion for summary judgment as it pertains to the affirmative defenses relating to mitigation of damages. 10 Corwin relies on Phelan v. State of New York, 11 Misc. 3d 151, 804 N.Y.S.2d 886 (N.Y. Ct. Cl. 2005), where the New York Court of Claims declined to consider a bicyclist’s non-use of a helmet in mitigation of damages. The case, however, is distinguishable as “no persuasive testimony, medical or otherwise, was proffered to establish that [plaintiff’s] injuries would have been either avoided or reduced had she worn a helmet.” Id. at 167. Therefore, the defendant failed to make even a prima facie case that damages should be mitigated by the decedent’s failure to wear a helmet. To the extent that Phelan also based the decision on the fact the “[d]ecedent was not required to wear a helmet [by law],” this is inconsistent with the Appellate Division’s decision in Corwin, 141 A.D.3d 484, 36 N.Y.S.3d 118, and the logic of Spier v. Barker, 35 N.Y.2d 444, 323 N.E.2d 164, 363 N.Y.S.2d 916. Nevertheless, even as Spier and its progeny indicate that Corwin’s non-use of a helmet will be admissible for the purposes of calculating damages, the cases also hold that such evidence is inadmissible on questions of liability. Therefore, defendants shall not be permitted to argue that Corwin was comparatively negligent for failing to wear a helmet.11 For the same reason and for the reasons expressed in Part VI of this Opinion, defendants will also not be permitted to argue that Corwin’s claims are barred by the doctrine of primary assumption of risk. See also Cotty, 64 A.D.3d at 256 (2d Dep’t 2009) (“[R]iding a bicycle on a paved public roadway normally does not constitute a sporting activity for purposes of applying the primary assumption of risk doctrine.”). 11 Of course, defendants may still argue at trial that Corwin was comparatively negligent for other reasons, including, inter alia, the speed, manner, and location of where he was riding his bicycle. Accordingly, Corwin’s motion for summary judgment is DENIED as to the City’s Seventh and Ninth affirmative defenses (ECF. No. 200), NYCBS’s Sixth affirmative [**58] defense (ECF No. 199), and Metro Express’s Sixth affirmative defense (ECF No. 213) concerning the relevance of his non-use of a helmet to mitigation of damages, and GRANTED as the City’s Second and Eighth affirmative defenses, NYCBS’s First and Seventh affirmative defenses and Metro Express’s Second and Seventh affirmative defenses, inasmuch as those defenses assert the relevance of his non-use of a helmet to comparative negligence and assumption of the risk. Sealcoat [*502] did not explicitly reference Corwin’s failure to use a helmet as an affirmative defense, (ECF No. 211) and in Part VIII, the Court grants summary judgment to APD and APDNY, thus rendering the question of summary judgment on their First affirmative defense moot. The City of New York moves for summary judgment on the grounds that its involvement in the design and planning of the Citi Bike program is a uniquely governmental function for which it is entitled to qualified immunity as a matter of law. See Valdez v. City of New York, 18 N.Y.3d 69, 76, 960 N.E.2d 356, 936 N.Y.S.2d 587 (2011) (“Even if a plaintiff establishes all elements of a negligence claim, a state or municipal defendant engaging in a governmental [**59] function can avoid liability if it . . . proves that the alleged negligent act or omission involved the exercise of discretionary authority.”). “When a negligence claim is asserted against a municipality, the first issue for a court to decide is whether the municipal entity was engaged in a proprietary function or acted in a governmental capacity at the time the claim arose.” Applewhite v. Accuhealth, Inc., 21 N.Y.3d 420, 425, 995 N.E.2d 131, 972 N.Y.S.2d 169 (2013). A municipality engages in governmental functions when its acts are “undertaken for the protection and safety of the public pursuant to the general police powers,” and in proprietary functions when “its activities essentially substitute for or supplement traditionally private enterprises.” Id. (citations omitted). If a municipality acts in a governmental capacity, the plaintiff must prove that he was owed a special duty, and that the exercise of governmental authority was not discretionary. Turturro v. City of New York, 28 N.Y.3d 469, 478-79, 45 N.Y.S.3d 874, 68 N.E.3d 693 (2016). Traffic planning decisions, including decisions about the design of roads and other facilities, are proprietary functions, arising from a municipality’s “proprietary duty to keep its roads and highways in a reasonably safe condition.” Wittorf, 23 N.Y.3d at 480. This duty, while “nondelegable . . . is measured by the courts with consideration given [**60] to the proper limits on intrusion into the municipality’s planning and decision-making functions.” Friedman, 67 N.Y.2d at 283 (internal quotation marks and citations omitted). As such, “in the specific proprietary field of roadway safety, a municipality is afforded ‘a qualified immunity from liability arising out of a highway planning decision'” under certain circumstances. Turturro, 28 N.Y.3d at 479-80 (quoting Friedman, 67 N.Y.2d at 283)). Such immunity arises only when the defendant can “demonstrate that a public planning body considered and passed upon the same question of risk as would go to a jury in the case at issue.” Jackson v. N.Y. City Transit Auth., 30 A.D.3d 289, 290-91, 818 N.Y.S.2d 32 (1st Dep’t 2006) (finding general evaluation of buses referencing passengers’ ability to grab onto overhead racks insufficient to grant qualified immunity on claim that transit authority should have installed grab bars and handholds); Leon v. N.Y. City Transit Auth., 96 A.D.3d 554, 554-55, 947 N.Y.S.2d 33 (1st Dep’t 2012) (denying qualified immunity for passenger injured by falling in gap between train car and platform when City had only studied the risk that train would scrape platform); see [*503] also Turturro, 28 N.Y.3d at 483 (no qualified immunity for City’s failure to study speeding traffic on avenue); Poveromo v. Town of Cortlandt, 127 A.D.3d 835, 837, 6 N.Y.S.3d 617 (2d Dep’t 2015) (no qualified immunity for municipality’s failure to install certain traffic devices at an intersection absent a study); Kuhland v. City of New York, 81 A.D.3d 786, 787, 916 N.Y.S.2d 637 (2d Dep’t 2011) (no qualified immunity for design of traffic [**61] intersection in absence of any pedestrian traffic studies); cf. Levi v. Kratovac, 35 A.D.3d 548, 549, 827 N.Y.S.2d 196 (2d Dep’t 2006) (qualified immunity granted for design of traffic intersection pursuant to a pedestrian safety study and reasonable traffic plan). In light of these principles, the key question is whether the City’s planning of the Citi Bike program “passed upon the same question of risk” that this case presents–namely, that the placement of unpainted concrete wheel stops within Citi Bike stations could pose a tripping danger to cyclists. The City describes a collaborative process between it and APD based on its experiences with “bike corrals” that employed similar features, including wheel stops. ECF No. 293, City St. ¶¶ 40-42, 50. The City indicates that it viewed wheel stops as “the most important safety feature that was also installed in 2011.” Id. ¶ 46. Accordingly, the result of its collaboration with APD was a set of guidelines including the use of “non-permanent bollards, wheel stops, and paint markings.” Id. ¶ 55; ECF No. 289-19, 04/23/12 Station Siting Guidelines at 11. The City notes that APD and APDNY considered a wheel stop to be a necessary feature to protect the bike station from vehicles encroaching on the station and [**62] damaging the equipment or injuring individuals who may be within the station. City St. ¶ 58; ECF No. 289-3, Adrian Witte 08/14/15 Depo. at 20-21; ECF No. 289-5, Jeff Olson 09/29/15 Depo. at 410-11. The City did not, however, approve of the use of wheel stops that extend outside of the parking lane and into the travel lane. City St. ¶ 66; ECF No. 291, Sameer Barkho Decl. ¶ 10. The City determined that a yellow and black object marker, which had been included in the original design of some bike corrals, was “optional” because the on-street bike parking station sat in a parking lane and not a travel lane, and “pavement markings were more than sufficient to signal to an approaching motorist or bicyclist the presence of the on-street bike parking station and the presence of the wheel stop in the parking lane.” Id. ¶ 11. On the contrary, wheel stops would be situated within a white painted rectangular box with “white paint markings forming diagonal lines within the rectangular box.” Id. at ¶ 12. The record plainly indicates that the decision to install concrete wheel stops in Citi Bike stations was the product of careful consideration and deliberation between the City and APD’s design and [**63] engineering experts. This mere fact, however, does not suffice for the City to be entitled to qualified immunity as a matter of law. Corwin does not merely seek to have the fact finder “examine the criteria that were considered by the State’s professional staff, emphasize factors allegedly overlooked, and, with the benefit of hindsight, rule that the studies were inadequate as a matter of law.” Friedman, 67 N.Y.2d at 285-86. Rather, he argues that though the City considered the need and efficacy of wheel stop placement to prevent cars from encroaching into the stations and harming individuals or property, it conducted no studies whatsoever as to whether such wheel stops could constitute tripping hazards for cyclists passing through such stations. [*504] Though it is a close question, because the City has obviously given the coloring, placement, and demarcation of wheel stops some thought, the Court finds that there is a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether the City studied or “passed upon the same question of risk” presented in this case. While there is extensive testimony in the record that the City believed that wheel stops were of great importance in protecting stations from automobiles, the City has presented [**64] no specific study that suggests that it considered the effect of wheel stop placement or design on the safety of pedestrians or cyclists passing through the station, or whether the City considered that the wheel stops might be in the foreseeable paths of cyclists who, by custom or necessity, pass through the Citi Bike station footprints. In particular, it is not clear on what basis the City decided that object markers were to be made “optional,” or if the City considered the adequacy of shorter wheel stops that would extend no further into the parking lane than the bikes themselves. Therefore, as a reasonable fact-finder could find that the City did not study or pass on the “same question of risk,” the City is not entitled to qualified immunity as a matter of law on the specific question of wheel stop placement. At trial, the jury will be asked special interrogatories to resolve these disputed facts. The City also moves for summary judgment on the basis of qualified immunity on Corwin’s claims that “the intentional failure and refusal of the Defendants to design Citi Bike to include a convenient system [**65] of helmet rentals–as in place in Melbourne, Vancouver and Seattle–or otherwise provide helmets at all Citi Bike sites, was negligent . . . .” ECF No. 192, Second Am. Compl. ¶ 352. The record plainly demonstrates that the City’s decision not to mandate or provide helmets to Citi Bike users was the fruit of a well-reasoned policy based on extensive study of the “same question of risk as would go to a jury in the case at issue.” Jackson, 30 A.D.3d at 290. As early as 2009, the City’s Feasibility Study noted that “increasing the number of bicyclists is one of the most reliable ways to increase bicyclist safety,” and cast doubt on the feasibility of helmet distribution. City St. ¶ 4; ECF No. 290-1, Bike Share Feasibility Study. The director of the City’s Bike Share Unit stated that the City found that “mandatory helmet laws decreased bicycle ridership in general and decreased participation in bike share programs in particular. [The City] considered statistics showing that mandatory helmets laws actually decreased the safety of bicycling . . . [and] bicycle riders wearing helmets tend to ride more recklessly than riders who do not.” ECF No. 290, John Frost Decl. ¶ 5. The City specifically noted that in Melbourne, [**66] Australia, mandatory helmet laws resulted in a lowered rate of bicycle usage. City St. ¶ 13; ECF No. 289-2, Kate Fillin-Yeh 08/20/15 Depo. at 46-48. The City also specifically considered installing automatic helmet rental machines and rejected the proposal on hygiene and structural integrity grounds in public comments justifying the policy choice. ECF No. 290, John Frost Decl. ¶ 6; ECF No. 289-1, Stephanie Levinsky-Shaw 08/12/15 Depo. at 222. Nevertheless, the City encouraged bicycle helmet use by distributing discount voucher coupons for the purchase of helmets to annual members and expanding helmet fitting and giveaway programs. ECF No. 290, Frost Decl. ¶ 7; ECF No. 289-2, Fillin-Yeh Depo. at 56, 60. [*505] Contrary to Corwin’s contentions, the fact that Defendants may raise the issue of his non-use of a helmet to prove a failure to mitigate damages does not affect the City’s qualified immunity on this issue. Corwin will, of course, be free to demonstrate that his “conduct was not unreasonable under the circumstances and that he did not breach a duty of care because adults are not required to wear helmets while riding bicycles in New York City and the Citi Bike program does not provide helmets.” [**67] Corwin, 141 A.D.3d at 495 (Andrias, J., dissenting). He may not, however, seek to hold the City liable for what was a well-reasoned and studied determination made in the public interest. See Weiss v. Fote, 7 N.Y.2d 579, 588, 167 N.E.2d 63, 200 N.Y.S.2d 409 (1960) (“[C]ourts should not be permitted to review determinations of governmental planning bodies under the guise of allowing them to be challenged in negligence suits.”). Accordingly, the City is granted summary judgment on Corwin’s negligence claim regarding its failure to provide helmets because it has qualified immunity on this issue. No civil action shall be maintained against the city for damage to property or injury to person or death sustained in consequence of any street . . . being out of repair, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed, unless it appears that written notice of the defective, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed condition, was actually given to the commissioner of transportation . . . or where there was previous injury to person or property as a result of the . . . condition, and written notice thereof was given to a city agency, or there was written acknowledgement from the city of the . . . condition, and there was a failure or neglect [**68] within fifteen days after the receipt of such notice to repair or remove the defect, danger or obstruction complained of, or the place otherwise made reasonably safe. Popularly known as the “Pothole Law,” the purpose of § 7-201(c)(2) is to prevent municipal liability for “nonfeasance” and to limit it to cases where the municipality had actual notice and opportunity to correct the hazardous condition. Katz v. City of New York, 87 N.Y.2d 241, 243, 661 N.E.2d 1374, 638 N.Y.S.2d 593 (1995). It is uncontested that the City did not have written notice of the installation of the specific wheel stop at the Madison Avenue end of the Citi Bike station where the crash occurred until after the accident, and that the drawing accompanying the permit does not show a wheel stop at that location. City St. ¶¶ 107-12. City records do not demonstrate any written complaints or claims of injury regarding a wheel stop at that location. Id. at ¶¶ 111-13. There are, however, two exceptions to § 7-201(c)(2)–“that the municipality affirmatively created the defect through an act of negligence or that a special use resulted in a special benefit to the locality.” Yarborough v. City of New York, 10 N.Y.3d 726, 728, 882 N.E.2d 873, 853 N.Y.S.2d 261 (2008) (citation omitted). Corwin does not merely allege that the City failed to remediate a dangerous condition created by a third party; indeed, his entire theory of liability [**69] is predicated on the premise that the City was affirmatively negligent in the design and placement of Citi Bike stations and wheel stops in the system as a whole. Additionally, he argues that the City was on notice of contractors’ failures to install stations as per plan specifications and yet failed to monitor them effectively, and ultimately approved an [*506] identical policy of putting wheel stops on both ends of Citi Bike stations. ECF No. 335-33, NYC Comptroller Audit; ECF No. 336-25, Station Plan w/ 2 Wheel Stops. The City, for its part, notes that neither it nor NYCBS, with whom it had a contractual relationship, actually installed the wheel stop at issue; rather, it alleges that it was installed by Sealcoat, a contractor of MetroExpress, who itself was NYCBS’s contractor. City St. ¶¶ 83-84. The Court finds that there is a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether the City was affirmatively negligent so as to lose the written notice protections of § 7-201(c)(2). While Corwin cannot produce “smoking gun” evidence that the City affirmatively directed NYCBS or its agents to install the specific wheel stop in question, Corwin does provide evidence indicating that similar wheel stops were installed [**70] elsewhere in the City and that modifications to station plan installations were often done informally. See ECF No. 368-6 (10/30/2013 email from Dani Simons, NYCBS, to Stephanie Levitsky, DOT, stating “I do not know why [the wheel stop is] not in the drawings. I do know that [NYCBS directors] Hasib [Ikramullah] and Michael [Pellegrino] have both told me that we’ve started putting them on the cross-walk side of stations in high traffic areas . . . .”); ECF No. 336-19 (07/01/2013 email from Stephanie Levinsky to Jon Orcutt referencing “numerous on the fly modification[s]”); ECF No. 368-8 (May 15, 2013 email from DOT to NYCBS referencing “supplemental street treatments” not on the initial plan diagrams). This evidence could lead a reasonable finder of fact to conclude that either the specific wheel stop in question, or all wheel stops that enter into the foreseeable pathway of a cyclist, were installed pursuant to affirmative acts of negligence by the City. The fact that the City had no direct contractual relationship or knowledge of the involvement of Metro Express or Sealcoat is not dispositive. Just as the City cannot delegate its duty to maintain the roads to a contractor, it cannot do so to a subcontractor [**71] of that contractor. Accordingly, the question of whether the affirmative negligence exception to the written notice protections of § 7-201(c)(2) applies is a disputed question of fact to be resolved at trial, and the City is not entitled to summary judgment because it was not provided notice of the allegedly defective condition.12 12 Because the Court finds that the “affirmative negligence” exception may apply and because neither party has adequately briefed the “special use resulting in a special benefit” exception to § 7-201(c)(2), the Court declines to address the “special use” exception in this opinion. The City, NYCBS, and APD also move for summary judgment on the grounds that the doctrine of primary assumption of the risk bars Corwin’s negligence claims. In voluntarily undertaken recreational activities, the duty of a defendant is “to make the conditions as safe as they appear to be. If the risks of the activity are fully comprehended or perfectly obvious, plaintiff has consented to them and defendant has performed its duty.” Turcotte v. Fell, 68 N.Y.2d 432, 439, 502 N.E.2d 964, 510 N.Y.S.2d 49 (1986). In this case, the Release Agreement signed by Corwin contained explicit provisions on assumption of the risk, which state, inter alia, that “Member agrees that riding a Citi Bike bicycle involves many obvious and not-so-obvious risks, dangers, and hazards, which may result in injury or death . . . and that such risks, dangers, and hazards cannot always be predicted or [*507] avoided. Member agrees that such risks, dangers, [**72] and hazards are Member’s sole responsibility.” ECF No. 316-1, Release Agreement. Whether or not the broad assumption of the risk language is applicable depends on what courts consider to be the risks inherent in bicycling, recreational or otherwise, on a paved road in an urban environment. The New York Court of Appeals has cautioned that the doctrine of assumption of risk is justifiable exclusively for its utility in “‘facilitat[ing] free and vigorous participation in athletic activities'” and warned that the doctrine must be “closely circumscribed” and not “applied outside this limited context” lest it unduly displace the state’s comparative negligence regime. Trupia v. Lake George Cent. Sch. Dist., 14 N.Y.3d 392, 395, 927 N.E.2d 547, 901 N.Y.S.2d 127 (2010) (citing Benitez v. New York City Bd. of Educ., 73 N.Y.2d 650, 657, 541 N.E.2d 29, 543 N.Y.S.2d 29 (1989)).13 Accordingly, the assumption of the risk doctrine is not applicable to this case. “In determining whether a bicycle rider has subjected himself or herself to the doctrine of primary assumption of risk, we must consider whether the rider is engaged in a sporting activity, such that his or her consent to the dangers inherent in the activity may reasonably be inferred.” Cotty, 64 A.D.3d at 255. Courts have consistently held that riding a bicycle on a paved road is not such a “sporting activity.” The fact that an individual may be engaging in a recreational [**73] or leisure activity is not enough because the doctrine “is not designed to relieve a municipality of its duty to maintain its roadways in a safe condition.” Id.; see also Moore v. City of New York, 29 A.D.3d 751, 752, 816 N.Y.S.2d 131 (2d Dep’t 2006) (plaintiff did not assume risk of recreational cycling on paved park road); Vestal v. Cty. of Suffolk, 7 A.D.3d 613, 614-15, 776 N.Y.S.2d 491 (2d Dep’t 2004) (“[T]he injured plaintiff cannot be said as a matter of law to have assumed the risk of being injured as a result of a defective condition on a paved pathway merely because she participated in the activity of bicycling,” even where County argued that the pathway was “abandoned”). 13 In its reply memorandum of law, NYCBS appears to characterize Trupia as permitting an open-ended “social benefit” analysis to determine whether the assumption of risk doctrine applies and discusses the numerous beneficial aspects of the Citi Bike program as a public transit system. Trupia, however, was limited to discussing the social benefit to certain risky athletic activities and explicitly warns against applying the doctrine in any other context. 14 N.Y.3d 392, 395, 927 N.E.2d 547, 901 N.Y.S.2d 127. To be sure, courts have held that the doctrine of assumption of the risk applied in other contexts involving recreational cyclists. See, e.g., DeJesus v. City of New York, 29 A.D.3d 401, 402, 815 N.Y.S.2d 502 (1st Dep’t 2006) (plaintiff assumed risk for riding on pedestrian-only pathway in housing development); Chrem v. City of New York, 293 A.D.2d 301, 302, 741 N.Y.S.2d 201 (1st Dep’t 2002) (plaintiff assumed risk of steep drop-off in the back of a dirt mound not designated for cycling); Furgang v. Club Med, Inc., 299 A.D.2d 162, 162, 753 N.Y.S.2d 359 (1st Dep’t 2002) (“[T]he risk of encountering ruts and bumps while riding a bike over a rough roadway without a helmet is so obvious [that] as a matter of law, plaintiff assumed any risk inherent in the activity . . . .”); Goldberg v. Town of Hempstead, 289 A.D.2d 198, 198, 733 N.Y.S.2d 691 (2d Dep’t 2001) (“Since the risk of striking a hole and falling is an inherent risk in riding a bicycle on most outdoor surfaces, [**74] and the defective condition in this case was open and obvious, the infant plaintiff assumed [*508] the risk associated with riding her bicycle on the ballfield.”) (citations omitted); Calise v. City of New York, 239 A.D.2d 378, 379, 657 N.Y.S.2d 430 (2d Dep’t 1997) (plaintiff assumed the risk of hitting an exposed tree root on unpaved path in public park). These cases, however, are readily distinguishable because they all involved individuals riding a bicycle on an unpaved path or other area plainly not designated for cycling. While defendants contend that the Citi Bike station was such an “undesignated” area, the station was obviously integrated into the public roadway, and Corwin has at the very least raised a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether the design of this station compelled or encouraged him to ride through it to avoid riding dangerously close to traffic. Therefore, his brief passage through the parking lane and bike station cannot be analogized to a considered decision to engage in recreational mountain biking or to ride down an undesignated pedestrian walkway. Accordingly, the doctrine of primary assumption of the risk is unavailable, and defendants are not entitled to summary judgment on this theory. A defendant has “no duty [**75] to protect or warn against an open and obvious condition which is not inherently dangerous.” Stern v. River Manor Care Ctr., Inc., 106 A.D.3d 990, 990, 965 N.Y.S.2d 377 (2d Dep’t 2013). Whether a condition was open and obvious is generally a question of fact inappropriate for summary judgment and “depends on the totality of the specific facts of each case.” Russo v. Home Goods, Inc., 119 A.D.3d 924, 925-26, 990 N.Y.S.2d 95 (2d Dep’t 2014). Nevertheless, “a court may determine that a risk was open and obvious as a matter of law when the established facts compel that conclusion . . . .” Tagle v. Jakob, 97 N.Y.2d 165, 169, 763 N.E.2d 107, 737 N.Y.S.2d 331 (2001). Defendants contend that Corwin’s claims fail as a matter of law because the concrete wheel stop, located in a striped white box with “zebra” cross-hatching underneath and surrounded by four three-foot-tall flexible delineators, was “open and obvious.” Defendants’ claims are buttressed by cases holding that wheel stops located in parking lots or similar environments were sufficiently “open and obvious” so as to bar claims by injured pedestrians. See, e.g., May v. Ruby Tuesday, Inc., No. 13-CV-170 (FJS)(ATB), 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 140090, 2014 WL 4966544, at *5-6 (N.D.N.Y. Oct. 2, 2014) (parking lot wheel stop open and obvious especially given plaintiff’s admission that she had previously seen it); Abraido v. 2001 Marcus Ave, LLC, 126 A.D.3d 571, 571-72, 4 N.Y.S.3d 43 (1st Dep’t 2015) (wheel stop in well-lit parking lot open and obvious); Bellini v. Gypsy Magic Enters., Inc., 112 A.D.3d 867, 868, 978 N.Y.S.2d 73 (2d Dep’t 2013) (parking lot wheel stop open and obvious when plaintiff admitted she was attempting to step over it); Wachspress v. Cent. Parking Sys. of New York, Inc., 111 A.D.3d 499, 499-500, 974 N.Y.S.2d 439 (1st Dep’t 2013) (parking [**76] lot wheel stop open and obvious); Zimkind v. Costco Wholesale Corp., 12 A.D.3d 593, 593-94, 785 N.Y.S.2d 108 (2d Dep’t 2004) (same). Whether or not a potential hazard is readily visible to the naked eye is evidently an important consideration in determining whether it is open and obvious, but it does not definitively resolve the question because “[t]he nature or location of some hazards, while they are technically visible, make them likely to be overlooked.” Westbrook v. WR Activities-Cabrera Mkts., 5 A.D.3d 69, 72, 773 N.Y.S.2d 38 (1st Dep’t 2004). On at least two occasions, New York courts, considering the broader context of plaintiffs’ encounter with wheel stops, declined [*509] to find that they were “open and obvious.” In Rivera v. Queens Ballpark Co., LLC, 134 A.D.3d 796, 797-98, 22 N.Y.S.3d 106 (2d Dep’t 2015), the court found that a concrete wheel stop that began in a designated parking space but partially extended into and obstructed a pedestrian walkway was not “open and obvious” as a matter of law. Similarly, in O’Leary v. Saugerties Cent. Sch. Dist., 277 A.D.2d 662, 662, 716 N.Y.S.2d 424 (3d Dep’t 2000), a plaintiff who tripped over a concrete parking lot wheel stop raised a triable issue of fact by arguing that it was undetectable and camouflaged by cars parked bumper-to-bumper. Were the Court to view the wheel stop, cross-hatching, and delineators in isolation, it would be hard-pressed to distinguish them from the conspicuous parking lot wheel stops that New York courts have found to be “open and obvious” as a matter of law. Notwithstanding [**77] Corwin’s argument that the wheel stop was “camouflaged” because it was not painted in a bright color that would contrast it with its surroundings, photographic evidence submitted by both Corwin and defendants suggests to the Court that it would have been readily visible to an observant pedestrian. Nevertheless, the types of obstacles that a pedestrian might expect to encounter in a parking lot are substantially different from those that a cyclist would expect in an on-street bike station. Therefore, the Court finds that Corwin has raised a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the wheel stop was open and obvious to an attentive person in his position–that is, a cyclist traveling within a station that arguably invited use as a bike lane. The declaration of James M. Green, Corwin’s engineering expert, brings forth various issues relevant in this analysis. First, Green alleges that the Citi Bike station in question was wider than the specifications required, presenting Corwin with the “choice of continuing through the bike parking facility, or turning out into traffic, with only approximately 0.75 feet between [him] and moving vehicular traffic.” ECF No. 335, Green Decl. ¶ 56. An [**78] hour-long traffic study conducted by Green found that “cyclists circulate through the [Citi Bike] station with regularity” and that this was a “foreseeable consequence of this Station design.” Id. ¶¶ 35, 57. Green therefore argues that the wheel stop, though in a parking lane, was placed within the foreseeable path of a cyclist. Id. ¶ 46. He further concluded that various factors, including the wheel stop’s partial obscuring by parked bicycles, its lack of contrast against the grey asphalt, and a cyclist’s need simultaneously to pay attention to dynamic vehicular and pedestrian traffic, would have made the wheel stop inconspicuous, not “open and obvious.” Id. ¶¶ 48-49. In determining whether summary judgment is appropriate, the Court must resolve all ambiguities and draw all reasonable inferences in the light most favorable to the non-moving party. See Scott, 550 U.S. at 378. Drawing all inferences in his favor, Corwin has distinguished the cases that feature garden-variety wheel stops in parking lots. Similar to the scenario in Rivera, 134 A.D.3d at 797, where the court did not find that a wheel stop was open and obvious as a matter of law when it partially obstructed a pedestrian walkway, there is a genuine dispute of material [**79] fact as to whether the wheel stop hazardously obstructed a path that was foreseeably and actually utilized by cyclists. Accordingly, defendants are not entitled to summary judgment on the grounds that the wheel stop that caused Corwin’s accident was “open and obvious.” Alta Planning + Design, Inc. and Alta Planning + Design + Architecture of New York, PLLC (collectively, “APD”), the architects and designers for the Citi Bike project who collaborated with the City to generate site plans for stations, move for summary judgment on Corwin’s claims of common law, gross, and professional negligence. APD notes that the key elements of the station that Corwin alleges caused his crash–primarily, the installation of the additional wheel stop at the east end of the station and the increased width of the station footprint–were installed in violation of its approved design. Corwin alleges that, even if APD did not recommend the installation of the specific wheel stop, their recommendation of unpainted concrete wheel stops throughout the Citi Bike system, and wheel stops’ placement within the [**80] foreseeable path of cyclists passing through stations were substantial factors in his accident. The Court need not resolve this dispute, however, because it finds that, regardless of the propriety of its recommendations to the City, APD did not owe a duty of care to Corwin under Espinal v. Melville Snow Contractors, Inc., 98 N.Y.2d 136, 773 N.E.2d 485, 746 N.Y.S.2d 120 (2002). It is uncontested that, as an architecture firm, APD did not have any contractual obligations to install, inspect, or maintain Citi Bike stations and, therefore, could not be liable to Corwin under any theory dependent on its control of Citi Bike stations or wheel stops. See Gibbs v. Port Auth. of New York, 17 A.D.3d 252, 254, 794 N.Y.S.2d 320 (1st Dep’t 2005) (“Liability for a dangerous condition on property may only be predicated upon occupancy, ownership, control or special use of such premises . . . .”). It is similarly clear that APD had no direct contractual obligation to Corwin. Therefore, any duty to Corwin would necessarily flow out of APD’s contractual obligation to Alta Bicycle Share/NYCBS. “In the ordinary case, a contractual obligation, standing alone, will impose a duty only in favor of the promisee and intended third-party beneficiaries.” Eaves Brooks Costume Co. v. Y.B.H. Realty Corp., 76 N.Y.2d 220, 226, 556 N.E.2d 1093, 557 N.Y.S.2d 286 (1990); see also H.R. Moch Co. v. Rensselaer Water Co., 247 N.Y. 160, 168, 159 N.E. 896 (1928) (Cardozo, J.) (noting that a contrary holding would imply that a contracting party would be forced into “the involuntary assumption [**81] of a series of new relations, inescapably hooked together”). In Espinal, the New York Court of Appeals, synthesizing decades of case law, announced three exceptions to the general principle that contracting parties do not owe a duty of care to third persons. These exceptions are: (1) where the contracting party, in failing to exercise reasonable care in the performance of his duties, ‘launche[s] a force or instrument of harm’ (Moch, 247 N.Y. at 168); (2) where the plaintiff detrimentally relies on the continued performance of the contracting party’s duties (see Eaves Brooks, 76 N.Y.2d at 226) and (3) where the contracting party has entirely displaced the other party’s duty to maintain the premises safely (see Palka v. Servicemaster Mgmt. Servs. Corp., 83 N.Y.2d 579, 589, 634 N.E.2d 189, 611 N.Y.S.2d 817 (1994)). Corwin could not have relied on APD’s continuing performance under its contract with Alta Bicycle Share/NYCBS because [*511] APD had no such obligations except submitting site plans, and it had no effect on the duty of the other defendants to maintain the bike stations safely. Therefore, the only Espinal exception that arguably applies is that APD “launched a force or instrument of harm” with its allegedly negligent site plans and recommendations for wheel stop placements. This standard is met where “the promisor, while engaged affirmatively in [**82] discharging a contractual obligation, creates an unreasonable risk of harm to others, or increases that risk.” Church v. Callanan Indus., Inc., 99 N.Y.2d 104, 111, 782 N.E.2d 50, 752 N.Y.S.2d 254 (2002); see also Guzman v. Wackenhut Corp., 394 F. App’x 801, 803 (2d Cir. 2010) (summary order). On these facts, accepting the argument that providing allegedly negligent design advice and site plans is sufficient to “launch a force or instrument of harm” would lead to the very limitless expansion of tort liability that New York law seeks to prevent. Moch Co., 247 N.Y. at 165 (Cardozo, J.) (“An intention to assume an obligation of indefinite extension to every member of the public is seen to be the more improbable when we recall the crushing burden that the obligation would impose.”). Indeed, Corwin’s argument is that APD’s negligence consists not of specific malfeasance relating to the design of the Citi Bike station where his accident occurred,14 but its general negligence in approving the type, appearance, and placement of wheel stops throughout the Citi Bike system. The logical conclusion of this argument is that by providing services to Alta Bicycle Share/NYCBS, APD would be subjecting itself to potential tort liability to literally millions of potential plaintiffs who could be involved in an accident involving wheel stops in any one of hundreds of Citi Bike stations–even as [**83] it had no responsibility for the maintenance or installation of the allegedly hazardous obstructions.15 This is not the law as summarized in Espinal. 14 Indeed, as APD argues, the Citi Bike station at issue in this case did not conform to its plan at all. See ECF No. 321-30, APD Expert Report. Corwin’s own expert would seem to agree. In a rebuttal report, James M. Green contended that “the original Engineering design [presented by APD] was proper in minimizing the clearance behind the parked bicycles and leaving out a wheel stop at the [relevant] intersection and was not followed during the construction of the bike station.” ECF No. 321-24, Green 01/06/16 Rebuttal Report at 9. 15 Corwin’s evidence that APD actually had some responsibility for the installation of Citi Bike stations, which appears to consist of a single May 22, 2013 email from APD engineer Adrian Witte referring the installation of station “bridging” (ECF No. 336-28), and deposition testimony references to the “collaborative” process between APD, NYCBS, and the City (ECF No. 335-6. Jeff Olson 08/26/15 Depo. at ¶¶ 401-02, 484, 530), is insufficient to raise a genuine dispute of material fact about APD’s lack of responsibility over Citi Bike stations. Finally, Corwin argues that APD was an alter ego of Alta Bicycle Share/NYCBS because APD served as the parent company over Alta Bicycle Share before its sale in 2014. ECF No. 192, Second Am.

Notwithstanding the close relationship between APD and Alta Bicycle Share/NYCBS, and their former association, Corwin has failed to establish that APD is anything but a legitimate and separate business entity engaging in planning and design. “Those seeking to pierce a corporate veil of course bear a heavy burden of showing that the corporation was dominated as to the transaction [*512] attacked and that such domination was the instrument of fraud or otherwise resulted in wrongful or inequitable consequences. . . . An inference of abuse does not arise . . . where a corporation was formed for legal purposes or is engaged in legitimate business.” TNS Holdings, Inc. v. MKI Sec. Corp., 92 N.Y.2d 335, 339-40, 703 N.E.2d 749, 680 N.Y.S.2d 891 (1998); see also Joseph Kali Corp. v. A. Goldner, Inc., 49 A.D.3d 397, 398-99, 859 N.Y.S.2d 1 (1st Dep’t 2008) (refusing to pierce corporate veil [**84] between two entities operated by same principal). On the record before it, the Court sees no conceivable equitable reason to disregard the corporate form in this case. As the Court concludes that APD did not owe any duty to Corwin under Espinal, it need not consider APD’s alternate arguments regarding proximate causation and its defense that Corwin’s claim arose out of a deviation from its design. The Court GRANTS APD’s motion for summary judgment in its entirety. Defendants Metro Express Services, Inc. and Sealcoat USA, Inc. (“Metro Express” and “Sealcoat,” respectively), third-party contractors who are alleged to have installed or sub-contracted the installation of the specific wheel stop that caused Corwin’s injuries, move for summary judgment, arguing that they did not owe Corwin a duty of care under Espinal, 98 N.Y.2d 136, 773 N.E.2d 485, 746 N.Y.S.2d 120 (2002), and that the wheel stop is an open and obvious condition as a matter of law. Having already rejected the “open and obvious” argument in Part VII of this opinion, the Court considers whether Metro Express and Sealcoat had a duty to Corwin under one of the three Espinal exceptions discussed in Part VIII. As was true [**85] for APD, there is no argument that Corwin “detrimentally relie[d] on the continued performance of the contracting party’s duties” or that Metro Express or Sealcoat “entirely displaced the other party’s duty to maintain the premises safely.” Id. at 140. Detrimental reliance becomes a consideration only when there is some form of continued contractual performance by the third-party contractor and is not relevant when the alleged negligent conduct concerns a one-time installation of station equipment (even if the contractor may have installed said equipment in many stations). And there is no evidence in the record that Metro Express or Sealcoat assumed any responsibilities, much less exclusive responsibilities, for the maintenance and safety of Citi Bike facilities. Therefore, the only issue is whether there is a genuine dispute of material fact that Metro Express or Sealcoat “launch[ed] a force or instrument of harm.” Corwin contends that the wheel stop on the east side of the Citi Bike station was an “instrument of harm,” and a contractor negligently responsible for its installation could be found liable under Espinal. To be sure, “[a] builder or contractor is justified in relying upon the plans and specifications [**86] which he has contracted to follow unless they are so apparently defective that an ordinary builder of ordinary prudence would be put upon notice that the work was dangerous and likely to cause injury.” Ryan v. Feeney & Sheehan Bldg. Co., 239 N.Y. 43, 46, 145 N.E. 321 (1924). There are, however, genuine disputes of material fact as to whether the contractors installed the wheel stop in question and whether they did so pursuant to a plan provided them by NYCBS. Citing ambiguities in emails received from NYCBS, Metro Express contends that a full installation of street treatments [*513] was never ordered for the Citi Bike station at issue, and in fact NYCBS only ordered Metro Express and Sealcoat to carry out repairs. ECF No. 366, Metro Express Reply Mem. at 3-4. Metro Express further notes that Sealcoat reported that there was nothing wrong with the station and never invoiced or received payment for any work. Id. at 5. Finally, it contends that Metro Express was never provided with a plan for the Station, and that NYCBS had been instructing Metro Express to install “supplemental street treatments” not depicted on the station plans, noting two specific instances in which they were ordered to do so in stations at Jay Street and Tech Place, and Charles Street and Greenwich [**87] Ave. Id. at 7-9. While Metro Express and Sealcoat certainly raise issues of fact about their liability, there is sufficient information in the record to preclude a finding that they are entitled to judgment as a matter of law. For example, in addition to NYCBS’s allegations that Metro Express and Sealcoat were responsible for the installation, Ryan Landeck, Sealcoat Vice President, admitted in non-party deposition testimony in 2015 that Sealcoat had installed the wheel stop in question under Metro Express’s direction. ECF No. 289-10, Landeck 11/19/15 Depo. at 34, 45.16 16 Mr. Landeck later testified at a deposition that took place after Sealcoat was joined in the case that Sealcoat found that there was nothing to do be done at that location and Sealcoat did not invoice or receive payment for its alleged work at the station. ECF No. 368-3, Landeck 05/25/2016 Depo. at 51, 55. An October 23, 2013 email from Landeck to Michael Strasser, General Manager at Metro Express, further stated that “nothing was wrong at this station.” ECF No. 368-4. Accordingly, the Court concludes that, unlike APD, there is a material dispute whether Metro Express and/or Sealcoat “launched a force or instrument of harm” if plaintiffs prove at trial that they negligently installed the wheel stop at the East 56th Street and Madison Avenue Citi Bike station in contravention of the site plan and the directions received from NYCBS. Unlike the case for APD, who provided general designs for hundreds of Citi Bike stations, there is no danger of an undue ballooning of tort liability because the contractors would be liable only for their own negligence and have an absolute defense if they can demonstrate [**88] that they were carrying out a pre-existing plan. Cf. In re World Trade Ctr. Lower Manhattan Disaster Site Litig., 44 F. Supp. 3d 409, 430 (S.D.N.Y. 2014) (finding that Espinal and Moch stood for “the general public policy that courts will not impose a tort duty on a contracting party where doing so would expose the party to potentially unlimited and undefined liability” and finding a duty where there was “no risk of . . . boundless tort liability”). Therefore, because the Court finds that a question of fact exists regarding whether Metro Express and/or Sealcoat “launched a force or instrument of harm,” Metro Express and Sealcoat’s motions for summary judgment are DENIED. Given that Corwin’s common-law negligence claims against NYCBS are barred by the enforceability of the Release Agreement as discussed in Part II of the opinion, NYCBS moves for summary judgment on the grounds that Corwin’s gross negligence claims fail as a matter of law.17 17 The City has also moved for summary judgment on this point; however, the Court has found that Corwin’s common-law negligence claims may proceed as to the City. Under New York law, gross negligence is “conduct that evinces a reckless [*514] disregard for the rights of others or ‘smacks’ of intentional wrongdoing.” Am. Tel. & Tel. Co. v. City of New York, 83 F.3d 549, 556 (2d Cir. 1996) (quoting Colnaghi, U.S.A., Ltd. v. Jewelers Prot. Servs., Ltd., 81 N.Y.2d 821, 823-24, 611 N.E.2d 282, 595 N.Y.S.2d 381 (1993)). “[T]he act or omission must be of an aggravated character, as distinguished from the failure to exercise ordinary care.” Curley v. AMR Corp., 153 F.3d 5, 13 (2d Cir. 1998). “In order to establish a prima facie case in gross [**89] negligence, a plaintiff ‘must prove by a fair preponderance of the credible evidence’ that the defendant ‘not only acted carelessly in making a mistake, but that it was so extremely careless that it was equivalent to recklessness.'” Travelers Indem. Co. of Connecticut v. Losco Grp., Inc., 204 F. Supp. 2d 639, 644 (S.D.N.Y. 2002) (quoting Hong Kong Exp. Credit Ins. Corp. v. Dun & Bradstreet, 414 F. Supp. 153, 160 (S.D.N.Y. 1975)). Drawing all reasonable inferences in favor of Corwin, the nonmoving party, summary judgment is not appropriate on Corwin’s gross negligence claims. If, as argued by Corwin’s expert James M. Green, NYCBS is proven at trial to have unjustifiably ignored sound engineering practices and placed camouflaged wheel stops in the direct and foreseeable paths of cyclists, a reasonable factfinder could conclude that their conduct was sufficiently reckless and/or aggravated to meet the gross negligence standard. The defendants’ motion for summary judgment on Corwin’s gross negligence claims is therefore denied. Corwin’s motion for summary judgment on defendants’ affirmative defenses relying on the Release Agreement is GRANTED as to the City and DENIED as to NYCBS. Corwin’s motion for summary judgment on defendants’ affirmative defenses relating to his non-use of a helmet is GRANTED in part; defendants may not argue that this is relevant to questions [**90] of liability to establish comparative negligence or assumption of the risk, but if liability is found, may argue that Corwin failed to mitigate damages. The City’s motion for summary judgment is DENIED. NYCBS’s motion for summary judgment is GRANTED in part; because the Court finds that the Release Agreement is enforceable, Corwin’s common-law negligence and professional negligence and malpractice claims are dismissed, but he may still maintain gross negligence claims. APD’s motion for summary judgment is GRANTED. Metro Express and Sealcoat’s motions for summary judgment are DENIED. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate Dkt. Nos. 288, 295, 303, 304, 309, and 314 and terminate defendants Alta Planning + Design, Inc. and Alta Planning Design Architecture of New York, PLLC from the case. Posted: September 22, 2010 | Author: Recreation Law | Filed under: Editorial, Risk Management | Tags: planning, Risk Management, risk management plan | Leave a comment For some of us, the worst part of any accident is after the bleeding has stopped or the victim is in the hospital. What happens next? Who should be contacted and how? Who should do the calling? Many times, insurance companies seemingly train us to play “Ostrich.” Stick our heads in the ground, hide and ignore what may be happening all around us. For example, take a look at the back of you your automobile insurance card. On most insurance cards, you are instructed to say nothing to anyone except the police. For this industry, this may be the wrong advice. For most of you, this may sound heretical. However, to do something different will definitely strike fear in the hearts of insurance companies and defense attorneys. (Yeah, as if an insurance company has a heart to scare! [Just kidding guys!]) One of the big reasons most of us are in this business is because we like two things: the outdoors, and people. We develop great relationships with the people we introduce to the wilderness and help some of them to make changes in their lives. We are in the business watching our guests to see new vistas both inside and in front of them. To wreck that experience after an accident occurs is contrary to your goals and desires. It is also contrary to the basic decency and curtsey you were taught as a child. Why not take the parts of the experience you enjoy and the relationship you have created and build on it when disaster occurs. In this scenario, you are notified that a disaster has occurred. One person is dead and several people are badly hurt. You have everyone transported to where they can be treated. The injured are taken to the hospital; the deceased to the morgue; and everyone else safely to a hotel. Then you run home, turn out the lights, and hide under your bed. While you are hiding, this is what is occurring. Hospital: Hello? Mrs. Smith? Mrs. Smith, this is Nurse Jane Fuzzywuzzy at Metropolitan Memorial Hospital. I need to know if your husband is allergic to any drugs or medications. Mrs. Smith has been celebrating the fact her husband and breadwinner is gone for a week playing testosterone games. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, she is answering questions about her husband’s medical needs with no warning and without hearing any other information, such as how the accident occurred. Hospital Pay Phone call to Jane Brown: Jane? Jane! Oh, Jane! It was terrible. It was a disaster! I don’t know what happened, but I think Bill is hurt bad. The hospital will not tell me anything. (Patient privacy laws remember?). I called you just as soon as I could…. Jane has been worried for a week. She just knew something was going to happen while Bill was gone. Then she gets a hysterical phone call from one of Bill’s friends from the hospital, and no one told her anything. Sheriff’s Department (on voice mail): Ms. Jones, this is Deputy Dawg of the Monumental Screw Up County Sheriff’s department. I’m sorry to inform you that your husband, Jim or was it John, darn, I can’t read my own notes, anyway he was rock climbing with XYZ Rock Climbing company, you know those hippies down on the other side of town, they look funny, well they killed him today rock climbing. If you have any questions, you can just call back here and ask for me. Ok? Good-bye. Ms. Jones was just told by the sheriff’s department that someone killed her husband. She is alone, lost and destroyed. All three of these people, unexpectedly have had their lives turned upside down. Let’s look at what is running through their minds. Questions! They all have questions. What happened? How did it happen? Are they going to be all right? How do I get to where they are to take care of them? How do I pay to get to where they are? How do I get his body home? Who is going to help me? How am I going to survive? Whom can I call for help? What am I going to do without him? At Your Office as Soon as you were notified of a Problem: Mrs. Smith, this is Bob Jones of ABC Company. Your husband was injured today while climbing with us. He is being transported to Metropolitan Memorial Hospital. I do not know his condition is at this time, but I am on my way to the hospital right now to check on him. As soon as I learn anything, I will call you back. Do you have something to write on, I want to give you my telephone numbers. The office 800 number here is 877-Don’t Die. If you call here and I’m not here, ask for Suzy. My cell phone number is 123-456-7890. My home telephone number is 102-345-6789. My name is Bob Jones. It will take me about 45 minutes to get to the hospital. As soon as I find out anything, I will call you right away. At Hospital: Mrs. Smith, this is Bob Jones, I just was talking to your husband’s doctor, (or here is your husband’s doctor). Your husband is going to recover fully. He broke his arm while climbing. His Doctor’s name is Dr. Wacko, and his telephone number is 321-654-0987. The hospital is Local Memorial Hospital, and the telephone number is 231-465-0897. I am not sure what his room number is, but as soon as I find out, I will call you back. As soon as I can talk to your husband, I will also call you back. Is there anything else I can do for you at this time? I am going to stay here so call me if you have any more questions. Just call my cell phone number you still have that number correct? Great, I’ll call you in a bit. I’m glad your husband will be all right. After Husband is in Hospital Room. Mrs. Smith, this is Bob Jones, here is your husband. Then hand the telephone to the husband. After Mrs. Smith has talked to her husband. Mr. Smith, here is my home, cellular and office telephone numbers. Call me any time if you need anything. Is there anything I can get for you right now? Ok, I’ll stop back tomorrow morning and see how you are doing. The doctor said you are going to be discharged tomorrow. I will start to arrange to make sure you can get home, as soon as I get back to my office. Next Day. Hello Mr. Smith, how are you today. I talked to your wife on the way over here. She said she would be here about noon and expects to take your home right after that. How are you feeling? Great. I brought you this ABC Company T-shirt, and I have a rain check here for you. When you arm heals up, we would like you to come back and finish your day of rock climbing. You have my telephone number, so if you need anything or have any questions give me a call. It was nice meeting you, and I am very sorry you were hurt, as we discussed before you went out on the trip, occasionally accidents do happen when climbing, but we sure are sorry it happened to you. I hope you come back and see us again. Next Week. Hello Mr. Smith, how are you? This is Bob Jones from ABC Company. I just thought I would call and see how you are doing. Great, I am glad things are going fine. Still have my telephone numbers? Great. It has been nice talking to you take care of yourself. Give me a call when you are ready to go climbing again. Some of you might argue this is setting you up for a lawsuit, but how? You have done nothing except be nice and courteous, (the way your mother would expect you to act). Worst-case scenario is you are sued. The worst-case scenario is the same either way. Even if everything you did was presented to a jury, what could be used against you? You acted as a kind and courteous businessperson. You did not admit liability, you reinforced the language in your release, and you helped an injured human being. When a death occurs, you must do some research immediately. Contact any friends of the deceased who were on the trip when the accident occurred and learn as much as you can. Find out who you can call to go visit the deceased’s family. Call that person and have them go to the family’s house to be there. If those people are not available, or in addition to that person, call the person’s minister or priest if possible. “Mrs. Jones, this is Bob Jones of ABC Company. Mrs. Jones, I am sorry to tell you that your husband was fatally injured today rock climbing. I am not sure what happened, as soon as we learn something I will call you and let you know. Mrs. Jones, is there anyone I can call for you, I have all ready called your priest and Mrs. Neighbor and asked them to come over to your house. Do you have something to write with, I want to give you my telephone numbers so you can contact me? The office 800 number here is 877 Did Die. If you call here and I am not here, ask for Suzy. My cell phone number is 123-456-7890. My home telephone number is 102-345-6789. My name is Bob Jones. As soon as I find out what happened, I will call you back and let you know. I will also call you back and talk to you when I find out what the authorities have done with your husband and how we can transport him back to you.” The critical component in all three of these telephone calls is you. You are there to answer their questions. They have your telephone number to use to call a nice, friendly, helpful person to answer their questions. You are not creating hospital or bureaucratic nightmares. You are not allowing the system to create a disaster for you. You are attempting to ease their problems. The call from the previous paragraph about the fatality is not going to be easy. In fact, people are going to be crying and screaming on the phone. However, it will pay off both for you and for the family. I know I have made those phone calls. In a fatality, many counties require the Sheriff’s department or the corner to make the notification of the death. That is done usually by having the local law enforcement authorities stop by in person. Make sure you stay on top of the situation. In one case, it took twelve hours from the time of death to notify the family because of bureaucratic delays. The family did not need this. You should work with the authorities to notify the family in a timely and kind manner. Many times, you will be confronted with angry or even hostile responses. Do not waiver; continue with the same calm helpful tone of voice. Do not bow down, hide, or become angry. Just continue to help. Some people when faced with these situations react in ways that might be difficult to deal with. In those situations, they will eventually calm down and thank you for your response. Becoming angry or hostile will just send them to an attorney quicker. The other reason people hide from this duty is time. They believe they do not have the time to respond to these situations. Let’s look at this from a couple of different perspectives. If you lose your company, you will have plenty of time to do anything you want, stand in unemployment lines, stand in free food lines, or sit and feed pigeons in the park. In addition, the time you spend working with your injured clients may save you hundreds of hours later. If you are sued, think about how much time you will miss from your business for trials, depositions, working with your attorneys and everything else that is involved with defending a suit. Finally, consider it marketing time. If someone has been injured, they are going to tell everyone at work, school, church, and in their community. They can either put a good spin or a bad spin on how they were treated. One description of the facts can help your company immensely; the other can only hurt you. The opportunity is in your hands. 1. You should make the phone calls from your base of operation. Not from the field. The trip leaders have their hand full with the living, the bleeding, and the dead they do not have the time or energy to deal with calling people. (Why everyone carries client emergency contact information with them in the field is beyond me. Yet, every time I tell someone to leave it behind, they are aghast!). They are already emotionally, physically and mentally exhausted. They do not need any additional responsibilities. You have access to telephones, faxes, and the Internet. You are set up for communication. If you are running international treks, you are prepared to call overseas cheaply and easily. If you are US based, you can give the people a local number or an 800 number to call you back. 2. You are familiar with the travel business! This is a promise, I am making too you. If someone dies on your trip, the family will show up at the scene someday to see what happened. Ninety-nine percent of the time!, I had a Risk Management Seminar graduate call me to tell me that a family had come from Pakistan to the East Coast to see where their relative had died. They will come. Knowing this, you can help them arrive and take care of them while they are on-site. You have relationships with the airlines that will allow you to get these people to your location quickly and easily. You can meet them at the airport and help them to a hotel. You know the hotel owners because you market to them every day. You know what the family of the injured or deceased does not know. If you have a guest who is going to spend several days or more in your local hospital, the family will come to the bedside of the injured person. Why not be prepared, help them get to where they need to be, stay and go home. It is better to know they are coming, then to be introduced, unexpectedly, in a hospital room. Eating alone in a strange city is intimidating. The chance to take someone out and provide them with a non-hospital kitchen meal will do wonders for them and your relationship. You can answer their questions; you can get to know them. You can become their friend. You can provide them with a source of information. You can show them you are a human being, not just a nameless face. A human being is hard to sue. A nameless face and a Company are easy to sue. 3. Who would you want to call if a member of your family was injured? Would you want a telephone call from the company your family member was with when they were injured or died? I believe you would. I also believe that everyone would. In every single deposition, I have attended or read at some point a family member says, “They didn’t even call me.” People want some connection. People believe what their mother taught them more than what insurance companies want them to do. Our mothers taught us to make that telephone call. 4. The family members are going to have questions, and they will stop at nothing to have them answered. Here again, at every single trial, at every single deposition, at some time during every negotiation the attorney hears the comment “they would not even return my telephone calls to tell me what happened.” You may not have the answers, but that still does not mean the questions are not going to be asked. If you do not answer the questions, the family will find someone to force you to answer them. That person will be an attorney. One of the great lines used by attorneys to clinch the sale is “I’ll get you your answers.” For most attorneys, that translates to we will use this excuse to get money out of the defendant. In addition, it works if the family member does not know how or why their loved one died. You understand what happens on the river or in the mountains. Those who stay at home have no idea what occurs, except what they see on television. After a while, the desire to have those questions answered may go away, but the attorney can keep the desire alive or can roll that desire into the desire for money. One emotion, grief is converted to another emotion, greed. If they do not answer the question, they should pay. The desire for money never goes away. I had this happen to me personally. I was in Salt Lake City years ago when the tornado hit that town. I ended up performing CPR on the one man who died. A month later, his widow called me. I did not have any answers for her, and she knew that. However, she wanted a connection with the last person to deal with her husband. I talked about what I did, what I thought, how it happened from my eyes. She was extremely grateful. Some call this closure; some might call it answering questions, whatever it is people wanted to know. 5. You can provide them with a central number to help with many of their problems. They can call you to get answers. They can call you to get personal property back. They can call you for transportation. They can call you to find the rest of their party. You, of all the people involved, are going to have the most answers. I was working for a business when a guest was involved in an accident and became a quadriplegic. The mother in law of the injured guest called wanting to know where the guest’s watch was. It took time to find the medical report that stated the watch had been put inside the guest’s mitten, and then stuffed inside his coat pocket. I faxed that report to the mother in law. She called me back to say they had found the watch. She thanked me for my efforts, and she thanked the resort for their efforts on behalf of her son-in-law. People, who thank you for your help do not sue, and that family did not sue. 6. You are going to present the best front for your company. Not everyone else the family members deal with will present your business in a good light. Hospitals and the people who work there only see adventure activities as dangerous. They only see the injured people coming through the doors; they do not see the thousands of people having fun. The sheriff department and the state or federal land management agency just sees paperwork because people are injured. The only see numbers, whether 1 or 100 it is more work for them. Here again, they do not see the happy satisfied customers. A. Look up the emergency numbers your clients provided. Review the other information you have to see if it has any other information you may need to know. Have someone else determine the quickest way for the family to get to your location. Make the telephone call. Tell them what happened to their loved one. Tell them where that person is and how to get there. Give them your name and telephone number so they can call you if they have any more questions. Tell them you will call them back the next day to check on them. Be prepared to tell them what happened, if you know. Provide facts, not guesses or opinions. If you were not there, you cannot guess or speculate. Ask them if they want to come to the hospital/scene. Tell them if they do not know you can help arrange for them. Do not speculate do not lie both will condemn you. Many times, they will call you back after the initial shock wears off. They will call back to ask more questions. Be prepared for that. Again, ask them if they want to come. You need to know what they are going to do. You need to know if relatives are going to be out looking around at your business or the accident scene. If they do want to come, pick up some of the tab if you can. “I’ve made arrangements for you to stay at the Bad Bed Motel. I can pick you up at the airport and take you to the hospital and then to the motel. What else can I do to help you?” Think about the situation that person is in and what you would want to have done if you were in their shoes. What you would want to know, what questions would you have? If you cannot come up with anything, ask your spouse or mother. Mother’s are great at this. Do they have the money to rent a car? Can you provide them with a car and driver? They may be lonely in a new town, have dinner with them or invite them over for dinner. If you are dealing with a death, contact a mortician and find out what needs to occur. Become the intermediary to help. Tell the people you will go to the airport with the deceased to make sure things work smoothly. Call them from the airport and tell them the body is on the flight, and the flight left 20 minutes late (I fly out of Denver) and the expected time of arrival. Keep in touch over time. After the second call on the second day, call the next day. Skip a day and call again. Call a week later. Continue to stay in touch. After six months tell them, you probably will not call again, unless they want you too. Tell them to call you any time, and if there is anything else, they need to let you know. Your insurance company is afraid you are going to admit liability. If you are smart enough to subscribe to the law review, you will not say something stupid. Be honest, answer questions. Tell them the river, the weather, or Mother Nature acts in ways you cannot control, and you could not predict. Tell them you are sorry for their loss. Act the way your mother taught you, and you may not have to act the way your lawyer says you must. You have a great opportunity to prevent litigation if you do not play ostrich. That telephone call will be tough. However, when you are done, you will feel better 90% of the time. #RecreationLaw, #@RecreationLaw, #Cycling.Law #Fitness.Law, #Ski.Law, #Outside.Law, #Recreation.Law, #Recreation-Law.com, #Outdoor Law, #Recreation Law, #Outdoor Recreation Law, #Adventure Travel Law, #law, #Travel Law, #Jim Moss, #James H.

JAIRO | Economic Evaluation of Wastewater Treatment System Based on Recovery Characteristics of Oil and Suspended Solids by Filtration Economic Evaluation of Wastewater Treatment System Based on Recovery Characteristics of Oil and Suspended Solids by FiltrationEconomic Evaluation of Wastewater Treatment System Based on Recovery Characteristics of Oil and Suspended Solids by FiltrationAN10373883 Filtration experiments were conducted using artificial wastewater at 20 °C and 60 °C to explain the relationship between the separation ability of oil-water separation equipment and the recovery rate of suspended solids (SS) recovery equipment for oil concentrations. Based on the characteristics of oil and SS explained by the filtration experiments, an economic evaluation method for a wastewater treatment system was proposed for two cases: using oil-water separation equipment without SS recovery equipment (single use) and using oil-water separation equipment with SS recovery equipment (combination use) using Separative Work Unit (SWU). The separation ability of oil-water separation equipment could determine the required recovery rate of SS recovery equipment. The SWU for combination use at 20 °C and 60 °C was higher than the SWU for single use. The SWU for combination use at 60 °C was higher than that at 20 °C. At 60 °C, combination use increased the SWU by 562 JPY/day (treatment amount 3,000 L/day) compared to single use, at 45% separation ability of the oil-water separation equipment according to the results of our filtration experiments. During the colder months of the year, even here in the south, many fishermen and women put their gear away for the winter, thinking that the prime fishing times are over. What's really happening, in many cases, is that fishermen are catering to their own comfort, not wanting to adjust their fishing habits or perhaps their dress. In other words, they hybernate for the winter. These fishermen are missing out on some of the best fishing times by putting their comfort in front of their fishing enjoyment. Many of you know that I am not a morning fisherman and I take a great deal of ribbing about this habit. It's not because I don't like to rise early to fish, but I have simply found that fish will bite at all hours of the day, if you adjust your fishing technique accordingly. Cold weather fishing is abandoned by many fishermen because they have been told that fish just do not bite in cold weather. That is simply not true. It's all about the water temperature. Fish are cold blooded creatures and as such their body temperature varies with the surrounding temperature of the water. As the water cools, their metabolism slows down and their body functions all kind of slow down also. because of this, in really cold water, below 40 degrees, most fish will nor eat as much but that does not mean that they do not eat at all. Generally you have to put your bait or lure closer to the fish to entice it to attack. Slower trolling or a slower retrieve of a lure when casting during cold weather is the correct adjustment to make in cold water. Also keep in ind that in the colder months, especially in lakes with little current, the water temperature gets warmer as the depth increases. There is no real absulute that appplies to all lakes but temperature changes of about 2 degrees for every ten feet of dept is a good standard. This is particularly important for the small bait fish. For these small fish a three of four degree increase in water temperature can sometimes mean the difference between life and death, so the bait fish schools in the winter time will go as deep as necessary to find comfortable water temperatures. As the bait fish go, so will go the game fish so in cold weather, you will have to fish deeper in the water column. Bass as an example might like water depths of 15 to 20 feet in the spring and summer months, but they will go deeper to 40 or 50 feet in the winter, so you will have to fish for them at those depths to have success. There is some debate among fishermen about the size of bait to be used in colder months. Some believe that smaller bait is better. I subcribe to the other argument and recommend larger bait in cold water. My belief is that with a slower metabolism, the fish will not want to exert the energy required to attack a small bait, but will attach one that they see as a full meal, worth the effort. I also believe that as winter approcahes, most of the smaller bait type fish have grown to their maximum size, having been born early in the spring, and a large bait looks more natural to a predator fish. Fishing near certain types of structure is also advisable in the winter. Docks with black floats beneath them will absorb sunlight and will often provide water that is a couple of degrees warmer in the winter. This can be enough to attract a fish. Concrete bridge piers will also transmit warmth deeper in the water and are good places to find winter fish. Concrete boat launches both public and private offer the same advantage. If the weather gets real cold to the point that the surface water starts to freeze around the shorelines, this is a good time to look for feedng Catfish along the edges of the ice line. Gizzard Shad start to die at temperatures belor about 40 degrees. When ice starts to form, the Shad start to die and the big Catfish are always around to grab an easy meal. So, start adjusting your cold water fishing habits, but please stay in the hunt. If you take the winter off fishing, start thinking different. Put on a few extra layers and get yourself some fine fishing. Jake has moved his monthly lectures to the Mooresville Volunteer Fire House on Brawley School Road in Mooresville.

We don’t do ‘discipleship’ because we don’t ‘disciple’ people. The idea behind ‘discipleship’ is ‘teaching the person for a lifetime.’ Let alone relationship handles that! And what’s more irony is that we’re sending the wrong message that instead of Jesus owns the person as His student, we say in turn “he is ‘my’ disciple” simply because ‘we disciple’ him. In contrast, we do make disciples. ‘Teaching’ for a lifetime is not the focus but ‘relationship for a lifetime’ is. This in turn make teaching into a ‘lifestyle’ and that’s how Christianity is really, back in the days of the early church. We do ‘make’ disciples. That’s the command: to go and make disciples. Disciples of who? Me? No, I am not Jesus. He is. I only ‘make’ people a disciple of Jesus, not mine. So that means it’s quick, simple and fast to reach the growing population. Jesus didn’t say “go and disciple” but he said, “go and make disciples.” That’s where we make making disciples complicated. Because we thought as if discipling the people belongs to us. It is not. That job belongs to the Holy Spirit that’s living ‘inside’ the person after baptism. What could be His job dwelling in you if not to ‘teach you into all truth’? I often ask. “What kind of truth can I teach the person when the Truth resides in him? Am I better than the Holy Spirit?” This puts me to shame. So for me to taste the fullness of Him I have to trust Him fully. So, my job and your job is only to ‘make’ the person a disciple of Jesus. The Holy Spirit’s job is to disciple the person. And Jesus job is to build His Church. Got the ‘job’ description? Jesus has a hard time building His church because we try to do His job. It is obvious then that we didn’t do our job. And the Holy Spirit also has having a hard time ‘discipling’ the person because we also tried to do that job for Him. Thus, instead the person will look like Jesus, he looks more of like you and me. Simply put, that because God cannot multiply His Self by the way we do things ‘our way’ we just multiply ourselves then without even asking His permission. So many of ‘our’ disciples look like us. Paul warned, “there are those that are among you who will draw disciples for themselves.” My friend, we are only taking men to Christ for him to be discipled. It all goes down to its implications. “Discipleship” today is not what it’s suppose to be. Try to see the difference between statements below and it’s implications: So, if your way of making disciples is complicated then you will be the very reason why Jesus didn’t comeback yet.

I stand in front of the bathroom mirror, scrutinizing for far too long. I start sideways, looking at my profile and then turn painstakingly to inspect the other side. I suck in as much as I can, but I can’t really suck in very much anymore. I try to pull my jeans up higher and add a tank top under my T-shirt, hoping that the layers will help camouflage my tummy. My daughter catches my swollen middle and her eyes twinkle with excitement. “Baby!” she exclaims. “Mommy has a baby growing in her belly?” She continues to insist that there’s a baby in there. I try to respond with confidence and body positivity. I also address her hopes of future siblings. Maybe someday. Maybe not. I have always carried my weight in my midsection. No matter my size, I have a belly, a gut, some pudge. I used to proudly sport a food baby after a large meal. I would joke and rub my belly, sometimes even naming it. Due to a perfect storm of genetics, estrogen, stress, lack of sleep and digestive issues, that weight is now constantly visible. I am a mom. While I am technically back to my pre-baby size, I am not back to my pre-baby shape. Buttons and seams strain against my swollen belly. I have two children. Their age spacing was intentional. My son was born two years and six months (minus nine days) after his older sister. He is now 2 1/2. If I had continued the same age spacing, I would be nursing an infant right now. If I were having more babies, I should be having them now. I have always wanted more than two children. Three children, four—some days I even imagined myself as the mother of five. Embracing the chaos and energy and love of a large family. I always imagined myself surrounded by a gaggle of playful children, running exuberantly through a field of wildflowers. I would probably be giggling or dancing along like something out of the "Sound of Music." I imagined that I would be an amazingly patient and kind mother, always knowing what my children needed and easily able to provide it. I didn’t imagine that my children would have medical complications. I didn’t imagine being constantly exhausted. I didn’t imagine struggling against the mental load of a marriage that had suddenly taken on gender stereotypes that had never been present before. I didn’t imagine anything would actually be this hard. I didn’t imagine real life. I don’t want her looking me. I don’t want her to see me like this. I don’t want anyone to see me like this. These feelings stare back at me when I catch myself in the mirror. When I catch myself rubbing a belly full of food instead of full of promise. Those sunken eyes are so accusing, reminders of not being strong enough or patient enough or hard-working enough. Of failing so constantly to live up to my own expectations of motherhood, or marriage, of adulthood, of life. I want to be the mom throwing the perfectly orchestrated themed party. I want to be the mom in joyful family portraits, everyone looking in the same direction, everyone’s outfits perfectly coordinated. I want to be the mom who stays up all night packing perfectly balanced lunches constructed into creative shapes. I want to be the mom who plans perfectly balanced days full of gross motor, fine motor, outdoor and sensory play. I don’t want to look into the mirror and see the tired mom who woke up five times to breastfeed last night. I don’t want to look into the mirror and see the dirty mom who smells like stress sweat and drool, maybe her own, maybe her children’s. I don’t want to look in the mirror and see the mom who is no longer attractive or desirable, who wouldn’t randomly get hit on at a bar, who wouldn’t even know what to wear to a bar anymore. I loved my pregnant body. Finally, my belly was something to be proud of, to own, to display. When I was pregnant, I felt powerful. I knew my own strength. I valued my contribution to my family, to society. I was creating and growing and nurturing and purposeful. I loved looking in the mirror and catching glimpses of my belly. I’m not ready to have another baby. I’m not ready to care for another human, to be needed or pulled in another direction. I’m not ready for the moments when I didn’t love my pregnant body. I’m not ready for the exhaustion or the vomiting. I’m not ready for the hip pains, the back pains, the heartburn, the back sleeping. I’m not ready to trade what I’ve finally gained back in independence and autonomy to give of myself all over again. But when I look in the mirror, I’m ready to feel proud of myself again. I’m ready to feel purposeful, to feel valued. I’m ready to feel the power of what I have done and what I still have left to do. I’m ready to feel comfortable with my belly, swollen—not with life, but with life experience. We asked 10 talented photographers, who are also mothers, to participate in our special project — The Body Beautiful: Celebrating Motherhood. We wanted to know — from these women, who look at life through the lens of a camera — what makes a mother's body beautiful? Their answers and images are poignant and inspiring and will move you, hopefully as much as they moved us. They will challenge you to look at yourself, again and again, until all you are left with, and all you see, is beauty. Because, as these talented women reveal in their images, beauty is absolutely more than skin deep.

With so many people falling prey to the painkiller epidemic, it’s no surprise that so many people call Florida detox centers for painkiller addiction help. An addiction to painkillers can be a frightening one, and we’ve seen more and more people suffering in the last decade. Thankfully, a Painkiller detox in Florida can assist sufferers in putting an end to their addiction one day at a time. When someone begins taking a painkiller like hydrocodone, oxycodone, or fentanyl, they might at first experience a very euphoric high. It’s this high that encourages people to continue using the medication in the first place. Over time, tolerance to the painkiller builds and someone has to begin taking more and more to get their high. If someone is unable to obtain a legal prescription, they can turn to illegal methods of obtaining painkillers, putting themselves at risk for legal consequences that might ascend to the level of a felony and years in prison. It never needs to get to this point. The symptoms of early painkiller addiction are often difficult to perceive. A person might find themselves taking a few more here and there in the beginning, and they may go into a period of denial and tell themselves that they were just in more pain and needed more. They might get high on these medications and end up missing work or school, but they can usually justify that, too. Personality changes are subtle in the beginning, sometimes unrecognizable to the addict themselves but detected by their closest friends and family. As the addiction progresses, the symptoms become more noticeable. The person might be arrested for illegally obtaining painkillers or they might lose close friends and family. They might begin to experience painful withdrawal symptoms when they try to stop taking the painkillers. When it reaches this point, it’s not too late. There’s help out there. Painkillers are one of the most highly addictive substances on the planet. They are difficult to stop using once the addiction progresses beyond a certain point. Withdrawal symptoms like sweating, nausea, and vomiting can be so unbearable that the person simply can’t stop all at once and find themselves afraid to stop at all. It’s at this point that a concerned friend or family member can intervene and recommend inpatient painkiller detox. This detox can save someone’s life. During their time in inpatient detox, the painkiller addict will learn about their addiction, get much needed individual attention and therapy, participate in group meetings that help them learn more about how to cease using painkillers, and of course, formulate a plan to prevent relapse before being released from the facility. Group meetings and peer support are an enormously helpful form of extended support group that the recovering addict can use both in the inpatient facility and any outpatient sessions they might go to after they’re released. The detox itself is helpful because it allows the person to withdrawal from painkillers in a safe, comfortable setting where they can get support from professionals who understand what they are going through. The comfort of detoxing alongside fellow addicts is also of great help to clients. They’re able to see that others have made it, and they too can make it if they stick with their treatment plan. Anyone who suffers from a painkiller addiction faces a difficult road ahead if they don’t quit. That’s why it’s so important to intervene and make sure that the person gets help as soon as possible. Inpatient facilities are often the only place that a painkiller addict feels they can go to get off their medication. That’s because painkiller withdrawal is so very uncomfortable that few are brave enough to try it on their own, and many people who do try shouldn’t try on their own. If a friend or family member is suffering from painkiller addiction, they’re never alone. This is a rampant problem in our society today, but the great news is that there is always help out there. Detoxes are able to help addicts in a way that they simply can’t help themselves. While recovery is a lifelong process, it all begins with a single phone call to a detox, asking for help. Often a friend or family member will ask on behalf of the addict, but ultimately it’s up to the addict themselves as to whether or not they are willing to accept help. Thankfully, there IS help for this problem today, as scientists and doctors have learned more about the dilemma of addiction and found many different ways to treat it in a medical and non-medical inpatient setting. There are always options. The first step, though, is always a simple phone call. Hey parents! You need a date night.

It's not a Rolex for the usual fan of the brand but if you're already someone (like myself) who also appreciates the non-traditional Yacht-Master 40 with the Oysterflex bracelet and aren't afraid of some flash, then this is an interesting replica watch to have in a collection. You'll remember that the Rolex Yacht-Master Replica was introduced back in 2015 and immediately stood out due to the fact that it came on the then-new rubber Oysterflex bracelet. The reaction to the bracelet was, as expected, mixed but has been popular enough with the release of the Rolex men's replica on an Oysterflex bracelet this year. Also released this year was this Yacht-Master 40 with a remarkably well-done gem-set bezel, which is about the only "typical Rolex" trait you'll find in this piece. Love it or hate it, its execution and quality are undeniable. It's inevitable, but many replica watch enthusiasts have an unfortunate patellar-reflex response to seeing precious stones or gems on replica watches. I think there are several reasons for it: the often ugly bejeweled timepiece; crappy aftermarket jobs; an unfortunate desire to distance oneself from anything "bling" (sorry, but comment sections on replica watch blogs and forums are the only place I still see that word as of the past decade); as well as the fact that there are not many factory-made men's replica watches done with gems that aren't "diamond explosions" or just come off too effeminate. While it's obvious that this piece is going to be geared towards the mainland Chinese market, I think this can be seen as a viable men's replica watch in the Western market as well. The Rolex Yacht-Master 40 116695SATS has a bidirectional rotating bezel set with 38 sapphires (blue, orange, yellow, and pink), 8 tsavorites (the green gems), and 1 diamond at 12 o'clock. The uniformity of the gems in respective color and shape is fantastic to behold and I can't imagine even the most critical hater not admiring it if they were to find one of these replica watches on their wrist. When discussing the far more elaborate and rare Day-Date 40 Green Emerald Platinum replica watch, our David Bredan discusses the work that goes into Rolex's gem setting: "For models set with colored gemstones – rubies, sapphires, or, in this case, emeralds – Rolex takes particular care in ensuring that all the stones on a given replica watch are of the same hue, using a combination of a long sorting process carried out by hand, stone by stone in the Rolex workshops, as well as by using one of Rolex's several sophisticated machines that are, Rolex says, usually only found in independent gemological laboratories. The result is genuinely incredible – if one is familiar with precious stones and gems, it is no secret that it takes sorting through hundreds, if not thousands of pieces to find a bezel-worth of stones that are such a perfect match in color. If anything, it is almost (I said almost!) too perfect as, frankly, I hitherto thought such impeccable matching of colors and shapes would only be possible if every stone were entirely artificial." Like the non-gem model, this Yacht-Master 40 comes on the Oysterflex strap introduced in 2015. Not technically rubber, the elastomer strap is fit with a titanium nickel alloy "blade" underneath to give it a more secure fit. The strap also has the well-received "fins" underneath, which are designed to create a very small space between skin and the bracelet allowing for some flexibility during hot and cold weather. The dial is slightly different, with Rolex choosing a glossy black finish as opposed to the matte dial on the non-gem model. Functionality isn't affected with the functioning bi-directional bezel, it's still a real dive replica watch with 100M water resistance. The double anti-reflective coated crystal and Chromalight lumed hands should make for legibility in the dark, as well. As for the movement, we still see the caliber 3135 movement found in models like the Submariner which gets 48 hours of power reserve. Before lending its name to one of the most iconic watches in the world, the city of Daytona, Florida has been the birthplace of speed motor racing since 1903 and one of the places where most land speed records have been broken. The cerachrom bezel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Replica Watch is initially made of white zirconium dioxide powder and then mixed with pigments that give it the desired final color in this case black. Some of the advantages of this cerachrom bezel Rolex Daytona Best Swiss Replica Watches Online include resistance to corrosion, scratchproofness and being unaffected by UV rays. The resulting paste is shaped by a high-pressure moulding machine that creates a blank black bezel. After several firings at temperatures exceeding 1,500 degrees Celsius, the bezel hardens and reveals its final color. The cerachrom bezel Rolex Replica Watch is initially made of white zirconium dioxide powder and then mixed with pigments that give it the desired final color in this case black. In this feature from our July-August issue, we take a close look at the new version of Rolex Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master Replica, with black Cerachrom bezel and Oysterflex bracelet. Original photos are by Nik Schölzel. A water-resistant Oyster case, large hour markers and bold hands are essential elements of Rolex’s Submariner, introduced in 1953 and made for use underwater. In contrast, Rolex’s Yacht-Master, launched in 1992, is a luxury liner – equally at home on board a yacht on the high seas or on land at a ritzy yacht club. The Rolex Yacht-Master Replica was the first replica watch in Rolex’s Professional Oyster Collection to come in three different case sizes: 29, 35 and 40 mm. The model we tested, launched last year, is offered in two sizes: 37 and 40 mm. We chose the larger version, which we measured at precisely 40.19 mm in diameter and 11.49 mm in height (excluding the magnifying “Cyclops” lens for the date). The well-known Cyclops date lens was patented by Rolex in 1953 and introduced in 1954 on the Datejust. This magnifying device is made of sapphire, like the replica watch’s crystal, and has nonreflective coating on both sides. The jumping date advances exactly at midnight. The replica watch is powered by a seasoned caliber, the Rolex 3135, used in the very first Yacht-Master in 1992. The 3135 debuted in 1988 in the Submariner. The blue Parachrom balance spring was added to the movement in 2005, five years after it was first introduced in the Cosmograph Daytona. Its paramagnetic alloy resists changes caused by temperature variations and magnetic fields. The Parachrom balance spring is thinner than a human hair and up to 10 times more resistant to shocks than a conventional balance spring. Provided with an overcoil, it is attached to a large balance wheel with a variable moment of inertia. Fine adjustments are made using four gold Microstella regulating screws. The balance wheel is supported by a height-adjustable bridge. The entire construction ensures rate results that bring the Yacht-Master (as well as the other replica watches in the Oyster collection) to the rank of “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified.” These words on the Yacht-Master’s dial mean that the replica watch has endured 15 days and nights of testing by COSC in addition to a series of tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratory. Acceptable rate results for a Superlative Chronometer allow deviations of less than +/-2 seconds per day, while COSC’s test permits average deviations between -4 and +6 seconds per day. In addition, Rolex’s tests are carried out under conditions that correspond more closely to real-life situations than COSC’s tests and are conducted on fully assembled replica watches, while COSC tests just the movements. The Yacht-Master’s new Oysterflex bracelet has a core made of nickel – titanium alloy blades, a black elastomer coating and a patented cushioning system inside. We, too, tested the finished replica watch – fully wound and after running for 24 hours – first in five positions on the timing machine and then with a two-week wearing test on the wrist (or simulated on a winding machine). In our tests, the Yacht-Master remained within the standards specified by Rolex for a Superlative Chronometer. On the wrist it showed virtually no deviations over the two-week period. On the timing machine it showed a gain of about 1 second per day with minimal variations among the positions. The tests performed by Rolex include a water-resistance check. Unlike the Submariner, the Yacht-Master’s water resistance is “only” 100 meters. This means that the Yacht-Master is not designed to be a professional dive replica watch, which requires water resistance of at least 200 meters. My first observation – and it is a rather obvious one, I give you that – is that the new Rolex Yacht-Master Replica is one seriously good looking Best Swiss Replica Watches Online. Presented in a gorgeous 18k Everose gold case what really sets this replica watch off is the black cerachrom bezel with raised numerals. More on what cerachrom actually is in a minute but firstly, let’s just take a moment to appreciate how nicely the case, bezel and dial all tie together. This is understated, masculine luxury at its finest. It is also, surprisingly enough, the first time Rolex mens replica has ever made a Yacht-Master with a matte black dial and when you look at how nice it looks you can’t help but think; “what the heck took them so long?” I particularly like the red print for the Yacht-Master designation across the bottom, just above 6 o’clock. This in and of itself is standard fare on the Yacht-Master but when paired with that gorgeous black dial it becomes reminiscent of the Red Submariners and Double-Red Sea Dwellers of yesteryear, not to mention all the modified Rolexes you see these days from the likes of Bamford replica watch Department and Titan Black Out. It just looks so unlike anything we’ve seen from Rolex before and yet at the same time as soon as you look at it you realize it’s everything you’ve been waiting for from the brand. I think it’s fair to say though that what has really got people talking is the matte black ceramic bezel/18k Everose gold case combination. It just looks so unlike anything we’ve seen from Rolex before and yet at the same time as soon as you look at it you realize it’s everything you’ve been waiting for from the brand. Carved from ceramic, Rolex debuted their new Cerachrom bezels a few years back (I think the first time was the Pepsi GMT-Master II in 2014 if memory serves correct?) and have not looked back. Plus the addition of the brand’s newly developed and patented Oysterflex bracelet gives it that extra touch of sportiness, although the gold makes you feel like you could still get away with wearing it with a suit (I know I certainly would). According to Rolex the Oysterflex bracelet offers a sporty alternative to metal bracelets without compromising robustness, waterproofness or reliability. Aesthetically and in suppleness and comfort, it resembles a rubber strap, while its resistance is comparable to that of a metal bracelet. As with everything Rolex makes the bracelet has been over-engineered, ensuring an end product that is not only extremely fit for purpose but will also go the distance for years to come. No seriously, at the core of this bracelet lies a superelastic metal blade overmoulded with high-performance black elastomer. This is not a rubber strap that is just going to fall apart on you. Presented in Rolex’s famed Oyster case, the Yacht-Master is guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet) down. That’s waterproof mind you, not water-resistant. Best of all, the Yacht-Master is available in two different case sizes, 40mm and 37mm. The 40mm (Ref 116655) is powered by the in-house made caliber 3135 automatic movement while the smaller 37mm (Ref. 268655) contains the 2236 automatic movement and as you would expect both are COSC-certified chronometers. President Eisenhower’s Gold Rolex DateJust 6305 replica watch was up for auction some time ago in September 2014. This DateJust 6305 is definitely one of the most famous Rolex replica watches of all time. One that is associated with and worn by a highly special and important person such as 5 Star General Dwight D. Eisenhower who later become US President. He was also featured on the cover of Life Magazine with his Gold Rolex DateJust 6305. The replica watch gave birth to the name later known as ‘President’ concept of today’s permanent Rolex President fame. It is known that Rolex does not simply give out all gold timepieces, but only to those that are of most noble individuals. Other non WWII generals seen wearing similar yellow gold replica watches include Dr Martin Luther Kind Gold Rolex DateJust. With such significance for history it was a shock to many Rolex enthusiast that the auction did not pull through. It was probably due to the ‘low’ $475,000 bid which did not meet the undisclosed reserve price. Had it been sold it could be one of the most expensive Rolex replica watches, with prices hitting at least $1 million or higher (Perhaps even breaking Rolex Paul Newman Daytona 6263 and other Most expensive Rolex record) However, the non-auction on the President Eisenhower’s Gold Rolex DateJust 6305 is not indicative of other high-end vintage replica watches at large. So what is the President 18k Gold Rolex DateJust story? The Rolex President 18k Gold DateJust was presented to General Dwight D. Eisenhower as a gift from Rolex, marking their 150,000th production of chronometer-certified replica watch. It was done so in recognition of Eisenhower for his great deeds during the second world war. The Gold Rolex DateJust reference 6305 chronometer also comes with a matching 18k gold Jubilee bracelet with deployment clasp. It was Rolex’s practice for this type of honoring to other heros of World War 2. The officially certified 50,000th Swiss Chronometer went to Swiss General Henri Guisan, and the 100,000th was presented to Winston Churchill. It was later agreed by Rolex and General Eisenhower for the 200,000th to be honored to General Matthew Ridgway. A highly skilled craftsman was hired by Rolex to engrave General Eisenhower’s Rolex DateJust, with his initials “DDE”, plus the markings of a 5 star general. On the caseback, is the date “12-19-1950”. The date tat NATO appointed him as Supreme Allied Commander of Europe. Personalized to such details that even the claps of the gold jubilee bracelet has his initials engraved. At this time of presentation, General Eisenhower was already a well respected figure and has support for a run at the White House. After WWII ended in 1951, Eisenhower went for Presidency. He was later said to have worn his DateJust throughout his presidential tenure. Since then, President Eisenhower has became something of a media sensation, and has appearance on four cover issues of Life Magazine. The 21 July 1952 issue featured him with his Gold Rolex DateJust 6305 on his left wrist. In appreciation of Sgt. John Moaney’s 30 years service to Eisenhower as his personal valet, President Eisenhower’s gave his precious President Eisenhower’s Gold Rolex DateJust 6305 to him, just before his Eisenhower’s death.Eisenhower described him as Sgt Moaney as “Indispensable to him”. Sgt Moaney later left the Rolex DateJust to his wife, Delores Moaney. She served as a personal cook to the Eisenhowers family for years. The couple continued lived closely with the Eisenhowers and even stayed in their personal residences during all post-presidential years. Around 30 years ago, the replica watch was sold by Delores Moaney to a well known collector Raleigh DeGeer Amyx. Degeer Amyx, now 76 can no longer maintain the size of his collection. Thus, decided to auction it off together with several other items owned by President Eisenhower (WWII Brown leather flight jacket, Eisenhower painting, Binoculars, etc). The President Eisenhower’s Gold Rolex DateJust 6305 appearance has made a big wave in the Rolex Enthusiast community. According to Livingston, many “experts think it is the most important Rolex replica watch ever made.” Had it been sold at the ‘reserved price’, it could be one of the most expensive Rolex replica watches. Perhaps even breaking Rolex Paul Newman Daytona 6263 and other Most expensive Rolex replica watches record.
Don't you just love it when you acquire a bunch of interesting articles / random passions / new hobbies, and you want to share your obsessions them with your blogger friends, and you wonder how you should label and title such a random blog post, and you decide you're going to label it "Hearting Things," and you look through your already existing labels and realize that you'd already written several Hearting Things blog posts last year? Your past self outsmarted your present self! Whoa! Anyway, here are some things of awesome I've been immersed in as of late, and as bloggers are typically a passionate bunch, it would be really cool if I could spread my love and interest in these things to a wider audience, to increase conversation etc. This is so not a recent passion, as I've written about it before, but it's become a passion that's only grown over time and pulled me more and more into its seductive world. So with all of the junk that usually stuffs our inboxes, who doesn't like receiving actual, tangible snail mail? This website that started out with a simple concept--send a postcard to a random stranger in the world, receive a postcard from a random stranger--has grown into a lifestyle for some members. Join, and I guarantee you that within two received postcards and five sent ones you'll be addicted to the anticipation of finding something unexpected in your mailbox. Then you will start acquiring postcards and noticing them everywhere and thinking about how cool it would be to find a person who'd appreciate you sending it to them... and pretty soon you will be surrounded by dozens of awesome postcards, all just waiting for a perfect recipient... and then you will start cursing how slow international snail mail is, for you want your sent postcards to arrive faster so you can send moarrr postcardsss.... Okay, you get the picture. But spoken from the heart of a postcard addict. So join me in this exciting community and make people's day! I am probably far from the first blogger to write about LBD, but there is no harm in gushing over it some more, because there are always people out there who have not yet been exposed to this awesome. A requisite summary: LBD is a modern interpretation of Pride and Prejudice using social media formats--primarily the web video. Oh hey, sure, you've experienced doesn't of media forms that attempted to recreate P&P's irresistible blend of social satire, humor, and romance. You've even, secretly, furtively, attempted to write a modern version of P&P yourself. (Oh, come on, own up: I can't be the only one who's done this.) "It's impossible to update P&P successfully!" you say. "What difference in social status can cause Darcy and Elizabeth to shun each other's social circles nowadays? What the devil do George Wickham and Lydia Bennet have to do in the 21st century to really scandalize everyone?" Thus spoken, you return to hugging your well-worn copy of your Colin-Firth-as-Darcy DVD set, lamenting the fact that you were born in into the wrong century. Ah, but you would be missing out on what is arguably the most successful modernization of Pride and Prejudice. Ever. It's fresh while maintaining all the elements beloved from the classic. It's well-written, and acted so naturally that some viewers who've never heard of P&P actually believe these are real people, vlogging their problems in real time. Start, and I dare you to not watch 20 episodes at a time. What are you waiting for?? One of the most resonant articles I read recently was one in The Daily Beast about the growing number of people who are choosing to remain childless--or "child-free," as some readers prefer to be called. This article started the discussion and asked for readers' stories, and the result was a whole bunch of fascinating and thought-provoking responses. I was riveted by this pair of articles, as it was the first time I was able to see some of the thoughts that have been percolating in my own head over the years written out articulately. My first, startling realization upon reading these articles was just how little this choice of lifestyle is discussed, let alone supported, even though it's 2013. I think that many people grow up with this unspoken understanding that someday they, too, would rear children of their own and hope that their offspring grow up into decent human beings. My heart ached as I saw myself reflected clearly in some of the readers' stories. Regardless of your own thoughts toward being parents, whether you are parents or adults who chose not to have kids or you're too young to have thought seriously about it yet, I hope you will give these articles a moment of your time and think a bit upon societal expectations toward reproduction, and societal reactions toward those who wish to consider a different lifestyle. Last but certainly not least--HarperTeen's Epic Reads is having an EPIC E-BOOK DEAL this month. For $1.99 each, you have a choice of recently released, critically acclaimed titles, as well as access to some classic favorites that you may or may not have been waiting for a great e-book deal on. I mean, we're talking about The Miseducation of Cameron Post, one of my new favorites, published just last year, and which I have been gushing on and on about recently. And JELLICOE ROAD, whose greatness I hope I don't have to explain at this point. All for $1.99. You can't get a better e-book deal than that! I immediately bought those two for my Kindle, which should motivate me to reread them sometime, and I am eyeing some of the other titles, such as Never Fall Down, Patricia McCormick's latest. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, the latest edition of Steph's Hearting Things! What are some things you've been hearting lately that you want to share with me? Thanks for sharing that postcrossing thing! I love sending and receiving mail so that is right up my alley. :D I've come across Postcrossing before, but I haven't signed up yet. It sounds brilliant, though! I love receiving things from across the world and there's something quite thrilling about it, too. :) And thanks for sharing the child-free article. That will be an interesting one for me. Off to read it now! I just recently got into LBD and I'm so obsessed... I'm ashamed to say i have never read P&P before but now I know I need to buy a copy. From someone who's chosen to be child-free, thanks so much for the links! It's interesting to read all the different reasons why people made this choice and how diverse the people are who did. How have I not yet joined the LBD revolution? People talk about it all the time on Twitter...I really need to get on this! Thanks for sharing! I love the Lizzie Bennett Diaries and I'm super happy that there the cast has diversity. I'm a little sad since LBD seems to be coming to an end. D: Oh this is so cool! :) I love the postcrossing thing. Honestly I have no interest in joining but it's a cool thing. If I ever catch some cool I'll let you know so you can add Bosnia there :)) For the LBD sounds cool! I have to check it out :) Thanks for sharing all these things! :) Wow, I had no idea about HarperTeen's sale, but Shatter Me and Under the Never Sky for 2.99? That's fantastic. I mean, I own both, but more people will get to read them this way, and I'm very excited about that. I have a friend who is totally into post-crossing. I never managed to get into it mostly because I'm far too busy to add another thing I simply must do, but I like how excited she gets over it. :) I've never heard of Postcrossing until now. What a wonderful idea. I am definitely joining, can't wait to get started! Oh the LBD. I plowed through that series in one weekend and laughed my butt off (and cried a bit, I must admit). Isn't it amazing?! I want everyone to watch it. Bless you for calling it out. :-) Here is a gorgeous custom built Olinto by La Bella. Shot by Steve Araujo using a Canon 6D and Canon 24mm 1.4 L Lens. I started running last winter, and shortly after the new year I got serious about calorie counting again. For a while I was up and down, especially in March when I spent the whole month either sick or traveling. But since April I have been very serious about things, even if I am not perfect in the day to day. It can be hard to see the progress while it is happening. I don’t feel particularly fit nor that I am all that much thinner. Progress is little by little, and what stands out most is the day to day fluctuations on the scale. Longer time periods are fuzzy. I need external signals to help highlight the changes. As an example I went on a run tonight. I ran a little more than four miles. Two of those miles were relatively slow, and two were relatively fast. It felt hard, and I felt like maybe it should have been easier. But if I go back and look at my progression over time, it’s obvious just how far I have come. If I just think back to my first 5k in February it’s clear how different things are. It’s the same with my weight. I don’t feel particularly different or thinner than before. But when I chart the data over a longer period the change is both obvious and steady. Everything is going fine. And today I wore a shirt that hasn’t fit in years and it was perfect. I don’t see it, but it’s there. I still have a long ways to go. The last time I tried this I made it to about 200 and stalled. And I later lost all that progress. This time I have to do better. I know I can. It’s just a matter of motivation and dedication.

(1 of ) St. Vincent beat Credo High School, 4-0, to win the North Coast Section Division 3 girls championship in 2017. (photo by John Burgess/The Press Democrat) The folks who crafted the fall girls soccer schedules for the small schools that make up the North Central League II and III might know a little something about things going askew despite all good intentions. The fall soccer schedule, ever-thinner as more programs move to winter, was built around the expected addition of one school to bring the total to an even number: 12. But that was deemed unmanageable for several reasons, not the least of which was scheduling. A league with 10 or 12 opponents would put teams nearly at the limit for number of games per season before even taking into account preseason and postseason play. “That was a big thing, putting some wiggle room in your schedule so you can go out and pick and choose who you are going to play in your division,” said Scott McKeon, athletic director at Technology High in Rohnert Park. Well, the teams of the new NCL II and NCL III have a little more wiggle room than expected after both Point Arena and Rincon Valley Christian did not have enough athletes to form an all-girls team, so they instead will field co-ed squads. So now both the NCL II and NCL III will have unexpected byes on the calendar, unless coaches can fill the gaps. “We learn to live with things like this,” he said. “All you can do is plan that everybody is going to have teams. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don’t.” Schools with smaller enrollment numbers can be felled by one injury, or one student-athlete who fails to make grades. An entire team’s season can hang in the balance. “You don’t know year to year or week to week — or damn near day to day if you have a team,” Pinoli said. That said, the North Central Leagues are this season divided into NCL II and NCL III, with each division competing for a league title and each league winner earning a berth into the postseason. NCL II will be comprised of St. Vincent, Credo, Anderson Valley, Tomales and Roseland Collegiate Prep. NCL III will include Technology, Roseland University Prep, Calistoga, Mendocino and Upper Lake. But to keep things somewhat familiar, squads from the two leagues are scheduled to meet in these early preseason weeks before league play begins Sept. 26. Even in these early days, the top squads are making their presence known and the Tech High Titans are the team to beat. The Titans went 18-4 last year and 14-2 in league — stumbling only to champs St. Vincent. In the postseason, Technology — with an enrollment of 326, according to last year’s state records — was felled on the road 6-3 by the Loggers of Eureka, a school with 1,130 in the Division 1 North Coast Section semifinals. This year they are in Division 3 with the likes of Upper Lake, Roseland Collegiate Prep, Credo, Mendocino and St. Vincent. The enrollment window for Division 3 this year is 349 students and fewer, and for Division 1, it’s all schools with an enrollment of 350 or more. The Titans have a roster loaded with veterans — players who didn’t entirely enjoy that playoff experience. “We traveled all the way to Eureka, there and back in one night,” Knoll said. “These eight seniors have been waiting for this. I think they know this is their year to win it all,” she said. Behind a defense made up of veterans, the Titans have allowed just one goal in five games while scoring 28. “My defense has kind of stayed the same the past couple of seasons,” she said. Clearly it’s a combination that is working. “What doesn’t she do?” Knoll said. “She’s usually our leading scorer and she usually leads us in assists as well.” In other corners of competition, perennial favorite and defending champs St. Vincent are having a bit of a rebuilding season. The team made up of a slew of seniors that scored 110 goals while allowing just five (in an undefeated season that ended with the Mustangs hoisting the Division III North Coast Section banner) is no longer there. The good news is that the Mustangs are in the new NCL II, so they won’t have to face Tech in league. “We have a lot of expectations, but we have to be realistic. This team is a new team,” first-year coach Tomas Morales said. In years past, the roster has had at least a handful of players who compete year round — that is down to one or two this year, he said. Adding to his assignment is their foes’ desire to put a mark on St. Vincent after years of getting bested by the Mustangs. “I think this is probably the best girls soccer team that has ever come through Upper Lake,” coach Daniella Santana said. The Cougars are 4-4 with key early wins against St. Vincent and Clear Lake. But it was the squad’s perseverance against NCL I juggernaut Middletown that showed Santana what might be this season. “At our tournament at the beginning of the season against Middletown and St. Bernard’s, they held their own,” Santana said. But coaches said the new structure of league play and tinkering with postseason division placement have left many feeling like they are still finding their way. And way-finding can sometimes mean way-losing. Just ask the group Robert Pinoli put together to create the new configuration, only to lose teams at the last minute. Or Morales, tasked with rebuilding a once-vaunted program.
Vastavam web: The Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan has never won a medal of any kind at the Asian Games, much less the Olympics. The country’s fame, instead, comes from its billing as one of the happiest places on earth. In fact, the government promotes a concept it terms “Gross National Happiness” as a way to measure success. “People at home are not unhappy we have not won,” Younten Tshedup, a reporter for the national newspaper Kuensel, told the Associated Press at the Asian Games. By comparison, Bhutan’s giant neighbour China has won more than 3,000 medals about 1,500 gold in Asian Games competitions. “We are hoping to change it this time,” Younten added. Bhutan, with a population of only 750,000, has 24 athletes entered in sports including archery, taekwondo, boxing and believe it or not golf. Soccer and cricket are also popular in Bhutan, but competition is amateur. Archery has many participants, but the disciplines practiced at home are different than those on the Asian Games and Olympic sports programs. “We’d be happy with any medal,” Nim Dorji, the head of the delegation, told The AP. Several athletes in taekwondo could break through. They talked up their chances but were realistic, too on Monday while seated around a table eating lunch and decked out in their distinctive red and yellow uniforms with the dragon crest on the chest. Part of the challenge has been Bhutan’s isolation, trapped between China and India in the Himalayas. It has just recently begun to open up with television and social media pushing quick change, and the natural beauty also is a lure that attracts outsiders. Nim, the head of the delegation, said the Bhutan government was getting more involved and offering incentives. “We are a small country known for our culture and traditions,” taekwondo athlete Kinzang Choden said. Bhutan is not alone in Asia in its medal struggles. East Timor, Indonesia’s neighbor on the eastern border, is also yet to win a medal at the Asian Games, a quadrennial event that has attracted more than 11,000 athletes from 45 countries and territories competing in 40 sports. The website for the Olympic Council of Asia the governing body of regional sports shows six other nations that have won medals, but never a gold medal: Afghanistan, Brunei, Laos, Nepal, Palestine, and Yemen.

In order to achieve the mission, goals and objectives of the Integrated Basic Education Program the following are included: Religion is considered the core of the curriculum. This program helps prepare the young to be truly committed to Christ through Mary in a progressive formation of faith, Christian values and community living. This includes the knowledge and understanding of man’s relationship with his God through the study of the scriptures and the church doctrines. This is attained through various activities such as basic religious instructions, recollections, retreats, bible sharing, liturgies, Marian devotions, value formation and involvement in the activities of the local church. These include the academic offerings. Each subject area has its own program covering the development of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values from preparatory to fourth year high school. A scope and sequence as well as the value grid for each subject area is included. Communication Arts Program provides Marist pupils/students the necessary skills in Filipino and English in order for them to react intelligently and creatively to life situations. Mathematics Program involves Mathematical calculations such as the mastery and use of the four fundamental operations, concepts of rational and irrational numbers, mathematical formulas, symbolic representations and other algebraic processes are necessary skills in computations, reasoning, and problem solving to help them in understanding and interpreting many aspects of modern society and the rapidly changing world. Natural Sciences and Technology Program helps the Marist pupils/students gain scientific knowledge in the environment, scientific processes and thinking, scientific attitude, knowledge of relationship between science and society. It is also expected that each pupil/student becomes environmentally concerned. Civics and Social Science Program is intended to give more in-depth treatment of content and make the pupils/students enlightened and participatory citizens in the socio-political life of the nation and the international community. Technology and Home Economics Programs covers the basic skills and concepts focusing on the resources available in the home, school and community. Through the identification of these resources, the pupils/students may become productive. Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health Programs develops the pupils’/students’ music and arts expression and appreciation, health concepts and physical activities are important aspects of human development. These as well have to be given equal balanced in the whole program. These are essential to the balanced formation and development of the pupils/students. They supplement the learning taking place in the classrooms. Clubs and organizations are beneficial venues for the individual to develop through the guidance of the moderators and club advisers. Enrichment Program: This program provides opportunities and experiences for talented pupils to move along their lines of educative design in varying depths of curriculum exploration. Through programs like creativity period, self-learning activities, off-campus activities, researches, etc., these pupils will be given the opportunity to excel and develop their innate talents. Remedial Program: Giving attention to the least favored is one of the aspects of the Marist charism. Giving help to the slow learners and those having difficulties adjusting to their studies through the remedial classes is one way of being faithful to the charism. Sports Development Program: Sports activities are avenues for character formation. Through sports, the learner is developed to become a team player and at the same time, a disciplined young gentleman. A sound body is necessary in order to have a sound mind and spirit. Thus, a comprehensive campus-based sports development program is strengthened with the cooperation of all sectors in the Marist Community. Leadership Training Program: A Marist pupil during his stay at Marist School should have gone through this type of training program for a Marist graduate must possess leadership qualities that manifest self-confidence, loyalty, respect and adherence to the principles of authority and service. Community Outreach Program: Service to the community, civic consciousness, social awareness are to be developed among Marist pupils. Through the community Outreach Program these pupils are given the actual personal experience of meeting people especially the less endowed members of society. – As an institution committed to the education of the youth in Marikina, Marist School realizes the role it plays to be of better service to the less fortunate ones in its community. In line with its mission, Marist School quietly launched a project that would benefit the poor but deserving youth in its surrounding community. A fee of thirty pesos monthly is charged. Those who are not able to afford are not charged at all. – Marist School Afternoon Shift High School offers a four-year secondary curriculum. The program aims to provide the youth with proper foundation to enable them to cope with higher studies as well as develop vocational craftsmanship to help the youth find their places in society in case they do not intent to pursue higher studies. One important decision Marist School management made was having its school go through accreditation, which started with the preliminary survey in 1982 by Philippine Accrediting Association of Colleges and Universities (PAASCU). This was followed by the formal survey in 1984 (HS) and 1987 (GS). Since then resurveys were conducted every five (5) years. The grade school has undergone five re-surveys since the formal survey. The high school has undergone six re-surveys since the formal survey. As such, Marist School was invited and recommended to apply for Level III Accreditation. On November 28, 2008, the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines (FAAP) granted both grade school and high school departments Level III Accreditation, making Marist the first to be granted such status in Marikina City. The ongoing accreditation process assures the continuous updating and upgrading of the use of innovative teaching strategies, multi-media materials, and the evaluation of the different school programs.

The new Monstrance our benefactors made possible held the Sacred Host in procession as Father Phillipson carried our Eucharistic Lord to the two outdoor altars set up just for today. The chant compositions of Saint Thomas (like the Lauda Sion) were complemented by Palestrina’s Sicut Cervus, sung by the Brothers and Sisters. Below is one of the photos from a Flikr gallery of the procession. To see the rest of the gallery, go to Saint Benedict Center’s Flikr page. When I picked up this intriguingly titled paperback, I expected it to be a zippy read, informative, but light and amusing. It is informative all right, and amusing in parts, but it is anything but light. A quick read only because it is so interesting you don’t want to put it down, this little tome educates as well as entertains, informing the reader, as the book’s subtitle says, of the Catholic origin of just about everything! While that may be a bit of an exaggeration, it certainly is astounding to learn of how many words, practices, and historical developments our Catholic Faith has been responsible for, in whole or in part. Let’s begin with the title. Just why do Catholics eat fish on Friday – or, better said, why do Catholics abstain from warm-blooded flesh meat on Friday? The obvious answer that every Catholic should know is that it is a penance imposed by the Church to commemorate the day of the Crucifixion of Our Lord – to enable us to make a small sacrifice for the incredible sacrifice He made for our salvation. Why, then, is fish allowed? The drawing of a symbolic fish in the dirt was a way that the early Christians knew each other when it was dangerous to admit in public that one was Christian. Our Lord cooked fish for His Apostles after His Resurrection, and most of these men were fishermen. After He established His Church, these fishermen became “fishers of men” for the Kingdom of God. Did you know that the Catholic practice of abstaining from meat on Friday was the reason for the creation of McDonald’s Filet-o-Fish sandwich? Because hamburger sales dropped off noticeably on Fridays, the owner of the franchise in Cincinnati introduced the new offering, and sales picked up again. Sadly, many Catholics are not aware that the Friday abstinence rule is still in effect. The post-Vatican-II modification in Church law only allowed the consumption of meat if some other sacrifice or good work was substituted in its place, such as praying the Stations of the Cross, saying extra Rosaries, or some other additional similar offering. Because monks of the Middle Ages contributed greatly to viniculture, many kinds of wines have a Catholic origin. Specifically, Dom Perignon, cellar master of a Benedictine Abbey in the Champagne region of France, discovered the methode champenoise by inventing stronger containers that could contain the gas released by the fermentation process. The story goes that when he tasted the first product of the new method, he called to his fellow monks, “Brothers, come quickly: I am drinking stars!” The Christian Brothers are known for their wines and brandies. Then, there is the famous Chartreuse liqueur from the Carthusian Charterhouse in Voiron, France, which still makes its famous green-colored aperitif, the formula of which is known by only three monks in the cloister. When one dies, the secret is revealed to a new monk. Chartreuse supposedly is concocted of one hundred thirty herbs, some of which are picked by hand from the nearby mountainside. It was perfected in 1605, but did not leave the walls of the cloister until some French army officers publicized its virtues in 1848. A few other strong beverages having some Catholic influence are Benedictine, Frangelico, the wine Chateauneuf-de-Pape (New Castle of the Pope), several beers made by monks, like La Trappe and Chemay and the label on the Jagermeister bottle, which has a picture of a stag with a cross between his antlers, an allusion to the conversion of Saint Hubert, patron saint of hunters. To top off our list of strong drink, we sip a cup of cappuccino, named after Blessed Marco D’Aviano, a Capuchin friar and powerful preacher who rallied Christian troops, Catholic and Protestant alike, before the Battle of Vienna in 1683, spurring them on to victory against the Turks. Legend has it that the good Franciscan found sacks of coffee beans left behind by the Turks in their haste to retreat. After brewing himself a cup, he found it too bitter for his taste; so he added milk and honey, thus creating the first cup of the tasty beverage. The Viennese named it “little Capuchin” (cappuccino) after Friar Marco whose habit was the same color as the drink! Mr. Foley includes a broad spectrum of topics in this gem – manners and etiquette, the arts, theater, sports, science, politics, holidays, food and drink, Biblical expressions that have been adopted into the vernacular. My favorite chapter of the book is titled, ‘WORDS, WORDS, WORDS – Catholic, Anti-Catholic and Post-Catholic,’ wherein we discover that the first Latin author to use the term etymology to indicate the study of words was Saint Isidore of Seville. Here are a few examples of Catholic etymologies: Saint Thomas More first used the words integrity and utopia. Agon was the Greek work signifying combat. Saint Luke (22:44) describes Our Lord’s suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane before His Passion as the Agony in the Garden. Soliloquies, a word which we want to associate with Shakespeare, was first used by Saint Augustine in the fourth century, as a title for his dialogue between himself and Reason. The Devil’s Advocate was the title given to the cleric whose duty it was to compile as many negative things against a candidate for canonization, not to prevent the event, but to assure that the candidate was truly worthy of sainthood. The popular expression “when in Rome, do as the Romans do” was first said by Saint Ambrose to Saint Augustine and his mother, Saint Monica, when they inquired as to which city’s fasting custom they should observe on a visit to Rome – the city of Milan, where Ambrose was bishop and Augustine resident, or the city of Rome. The expressions included in the “ANTI-CATHOLIC – OR AT LEAST A BIT IRREVERENT” section are really fascinating. To learn about these and many, many others you will have to read this wonderfully informative book yourself. It is the kind of book that you want to have handy at all times because it certainly bears reading again and again.
We would like to thank you for visiting our website in search of “Affluence Network Engagement Rate” online. You’ve probably noticed this many times where you generally distribute the great word about crypto. “It is not erratic? What happens when the price accidents? ” sofar, several POS programs gives free transformation of fiat, alleviating some worry, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most of the people will be reluctant to hold any. We have to find a way to combat the volatility that’s inherent in cryptocurrencies. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too quickly, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could rise dramatically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Instability of demand for ether can lead to a negative change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business that may lead to business being unable to continue to run or to cease operation. Many people would rather use a money deflation, especially those that desire to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Monetary seclusion, for instance, is excellent for political activists, but more problematic when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in trade; if you’re living pay check to pay check, it’d take place within your wealth, with the rest allowed for other currencies. In the event of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it might possibly be traded as being a thing. Supporters of cryptocurrencies announce that type of virtual income isn’t managed with a fundamental bank system and it is not thus susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Because there are a limited variety of goods, this cashis importance is dependant on market forces, allowing homeowners to industry over cryptocurrency trades. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. In other words, its backers claim that there’s “real” worth, even through there is no physical representation of that worth. The worth grows due to computing power, that is, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that is worth an ever decreasing amount of currency or some kind of wages to be able to ensure the shortage. Each coin consists of many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are exactly to authenticate other transactions, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant solution, which is among the appealing aspects of the coin. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The one who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to a value is provided by another address, which is a “wallet” file saved on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of trades dwells. The fact that there’s little evidence of any growth in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason for this could be merely that the marketplace is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. It is also possible that the regulators simply do not understand the technology and its consequences, expecting any developments to act. Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a specific address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in precisely the same manner that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It truly is nothing more than a representation of worth, but there isn’t any real tangible type of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal limitations imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed. The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: due to the nature of the process where it is transacted. All transactions on the crypto-currency blockchain are permanent. As soon as youare paid, you get paid. This is not anything shortterm where your visitors may challenge or require a concessions, or use illegal sleight of palm. Used, many professionals could be a good idea to utilize a fee processor, due to the permanent nature of crypto-currency deals, you should make certain that safety is tough. With any form of crypto-currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially access your personal tips and therefore steal your money. Unfortunately, you almost certainly will never obtain it back. It’s vitally important for you to follow some great safe and sound procedures when coping with any cryptocurrency. Doing this can guard you from most of these damaging events. Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which means the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the variety of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. In addition, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Consequently, even the most diligent buyer couldn’t buy all existing bitcoins. This situation is not to imply that markets aren’t exposed to price exploitation, yet there’s no requirement for substantial amounts of money to move market prices up or down. The slightest occasions in the world market can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. Since among the earliest forms of earning money is in cash financing, it really is a fact that one can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites currently focus on Bitcoin, a few of these sites you’re demanded fill in a captcha after a certain time frame and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for seeing them. You are able to visit the www.cryptofunds.co site to locate some lists of of these sites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have quite different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to think of a fair investment strategy. Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, international, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there’s no authorities, banks, or any other regulatory agencies. As such, it is more immune to outrageous inflation and corrupt banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the security and privacy threats. Security and privacy can easily be attained by simply being smart, and following some basic guidelines. You’dn’t set your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of ownership from the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous. This mining action validates and records the transactions across the entire network. So if you’re attempting to do something prohibited, it’s not recommended because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see eternally. Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but in addition they participate in more elaborate smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a trade to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of folks agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables progressive dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain consistently leaves public evidence that the transaction occurred. This can be possibly used within an appeal against businesses with deceptive practices. It should be difficult to get more little gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be accurate: having little gains is more lucrative than attempting to resist up to the pinnacle. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to examine publications than wait for order confirmation when you think the cost is going down. Secondly, there’s more unpredictability and reward in monies that never have made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz. works, its features, the differences from Bitcoins, Steem value, step by step guide for buying Steem and more.

Or counter strike or league of legends ? I could eben bet what time I wake up in the morning lol. Ok that would be hard to prove but I have the right idea right ? You got it! And thank you, I will pass it on to the team. Actually, you can create a proposition without placing a wager if you wanted to set something up for 2 friends. Or you can place a wager just on one side and wait for someone else to take the other. You can create unlisted bets so only those with the link can see them. You always get 100% back if a proposition doesn't work out (like if no one takes the other side). I wanted to say that you run a pretty neat site at betmoose. I was researching Augur in depth (to further my understanding of how they work), and from one of their slides in a video, I was stumbled across betfair.com....when I did more snooping of betfair...i was intrigued to discover that its a betting exchange...so I was curious to see, if there were any bitcoin betting exchanges...that's when I stumbled upon a few exchanges, and then finally your site! It boggles my mind...that your UI, seems a lot more intuitive and friendly than Augurs test net. I am kind of shocked you guys don't get a lot more traffic. My speculation and reasoning is that most people aren't quite geared/wired to bet in prediction markets. Don't get me wrong, there's certainly a demand but it's certainly a niche. I think most gamblers, at least hardcore sports bettors are trained to bet binary with fixed spreads. Most trading happens at a binary level, even though a lot of your user created questions are binary...I just don't know why you guys aren't bigger. Augur seems like a cheap clone, with its own token, and a shittier UI...but then again my understanding of Augur isn't complete either... Thank you for your comments xdookiex, much appreciated, I will pass it onto the rest of the team. If you have anything else you'd like to discuss, feel free to PM us anytime! Just in time for the New Year and Bitcoin's new localized high of $1000 USD, we have also just accepted a wager that puts our total wagered volume on the site just past 1000 BTC since inception. Thanks to everyone for their continued interest, and we hope to make some improvements and additions to the platform this year. All the best and Happy New Year! Hi again etile, as we discussed with you before, this was resolved incorrectly by the host. Our fault was closing it early due to the author's confusing decision logic, though as you can see by our admin comment, we will reimburse those No bettors as good will. We do not believe you had any wagers placed in this proposition, if you have any issues please email us! 7. So the mod has some anonymous Yes bets here and mods didnt want to share profit with late leeches. But late leeches should exists here due to decision login. Mods ignores the host opinion and make profit for mods. Hello BetMoose, can something be done to speed up your website? Initial connection can take 10-20 seconds, even simple page loads take several seconds, and searches are slo-o-ow. What happened was the mods set the proposition to close/resolve early (incorrectly), sirlanka (the bet author) resolved as 'Yes' (also incorrect), and when it was reported and payout paused, our mods who looked into it also resolved it as 'yes' (again, incorrectly). To be fair, the decision logic was confusing and it looks like multiple parties made the same mistake. That said, as indicated, BetMoose in good will, will return funds of those "No" bettors who were not technically wrong. Regarding refunding your late/leech Yes bet: you bet on the outcome after it was known (exchanges around the world broke ATH), plus, in general, we do not favour to leech wagers and we do tend to kick out as many late leeches as possible if there is a borderline scenario. We want to foster a predictions community, who bet ahead of time with a moderate-to-high degree of uncertainty, not last minute bettors who wager on debatable known outcomes. Finally, please note BetMoose only takes a commission from *settled* wagers; ie; it actually costs us money in miner fees to refund your anonymous wagers, so rest assured we are not kicking out last minute wagers as a profit move. We're always working to make BetMoose as speedy as possible. Can you please try it on a different computer/mobile device, or different connection to first isolate the problem? If you still have issues, please email us! If you have designed it to be fast, and if it is fast, then I would have expected you to clearly say so, and tell me in no uncertain that the problem must be at my end. If you know that the website is slow, then I would have expected you to acknowledge that, and say something about what you expect to do to speed it up. In the meantime your speedy competitor (loads quickly, searches quickly) bitbet.us is getting all the volume. What country is your company licensed in so it can operate as a legal business? And which gambling license do you have? Bitterman's Flake sea salt has uniquely frothy, three dimensional crystal unlike any other finishing salt we have encountered. It is harvested from the clear waters of the great southern oceans. Currents sweep up the East Coast of New Zealand and into the Solar Salt field located right at the top of the South Island. These waters are evaporated using the natural process of the sun and wind. At the end of each summer Bitterman's Flake sea salt is carefully gathered so as to maintain the balance of minerals naturally present in salt harvested from the sea. Bitterman's Flake sea salt acquires its impossibly complex and light crystal structure by being very slowly evaporated in an open pan, allowing the formation of very light sea salt flakes.
In 2015, we reported on FECO, the Federation of Cartoonists Organisations, and the questionable cooperation of FECO with the Iran House of Cartoon, one of the organizers of the infamous Holocaust Cartoon Competition. In December 2016, FECO France decided to leave FECO and to change its name to France-Cartoons. Here is an excerpt from their statement, which can be read in full here. You have all followed, with great interest or not, the gloomy affair of the holocaust contest organised by the Tehran House of Cartoons and the inappropriate presence of the international Feco president among the competitors. That second “Holocaust Contest” was directly targeting the green Charlie cover “All has been forgiven” and the sorrowful gatherings after the Charlie slaughter. We asked for explanations from the Feco international board and succeeded in having the president resign. Elections were duly set up. It seems that the candidates list had neither been submitted to the Feco-France vote nor to the Feco-Israel one nor to the Feco-España one and perhaps some more. Those elections were rather odd since the former resigning president happened to become a vice president without having ever been a candidate. After a unanimous consent at the General Assembly, we agreed we had to leave the Feco International. Last week, the Professional Cartoonists’ Organisation (PCO) in the United Kingdom decided to leave FECO: After a great deal of thought by the PCO Committee and through consulting our members, PCO [UK] has decided to leave FECO forthwith. This is a very sad decision, but has been brought about by FECO’s involvement with a Holocaust themed cartoon contest offered by the Iran House of Cartoon, known Holocaust deniers. Perhaps, looking into the future, when FECO reorganises so that it is no longer associated in any way with holocaust denial PCO might apply to re-join. In the meantime PCO intends to maintain good relations with individual cartoonists’ organisations such as France-Cartoon, formerly FECO France. But as of now we do not consider ourselves a member of FECO. The World Peace Foundation has for some years been pursuing a project to expose the myths that are used to sustain a bloated, corrupt, and dangerous global arms business. We are teaming up with the WPF to produce cartoons that illustrate the 7 myths that sustain the global arms trade: This is our second project with the World Peace Foundation. In 2012, we created a series of cartoons about peace in the 21st century, inspired by the visuals used by the international peace movement in the early 20th century. Together with the The Netherlands Consulate General in Miami and the Florida International University we are organizing a series of cartoon workshops on a range of topics, including migration and the environment. The workshops are given by Garrincha and challenge students to think about problems and potential solutions visually, resulting in cartoon ideas or sketches that our uploaded to our user newsroom. The best ideas are selected by our cartoonists and made into professional cartoons. Student idea: Doctor driving past an immigrant yelling: 'You are stealing our jobs!'. The immigrant looks blindly as he cuts someone's lawn. The end of the project will be marked by an exhibition of the best cartoons and the ideas they are based upon, which will take place in Miami in May 2017.

Lectora, as we know is an authoring tool released by Trivantis Corporation in 1999. Since then Lectora has continued its run as a popular tool with e-learning designers. To meet the demands of enhancing technology-enabled learning, Trivantis has over the years brought out many versions of Lectora till date. CommLab has been with Trivantis Corporation in this journey from early days and has developed considerable experience in making good use of its tools for numerous projects. Lectora has managed to keep pace with the demands of instructional designers and learning designers to meet various training challenges. A landmark version introduced by Trivantis is Lectora Inspire in 2013. Lectora Inspire is a suite of rapid development tools that helps create interactive courses. Lectora Inspire has consistently reinvented itself and four versions of the tool have been released till date. Based on our expertise in using the tool, here is a look at the evolution of Lectora Inspire from its launch to its present version. This was the first version of Lectora Inspire, introduced in 2013. This version was in response to the need for simplifying and accelerating the e-learning development process. Lectora Inspire 11 was an answer to the demand for rapid authoring tools that could create online courses in minimal time. The most visible change in the version was the new interface of tabs and ribbons which provided easy access to tools and wizards. The new feature was the addition of the latest versions of three tools – Camatasia, Snagit, and Flypaper. The addition of Camatasia provided the option to create and edit high-quality screencasts for online courses. Snagit converted screen captures into e-learning quickly. Flypaper was a worthy addition because it could create Flash animations and made it easy to share Flash content, media templates, and assets. The version also came with predefined page layouts useful for designing courses for multiple devices. The HTML5 media support helped in the delivery of courses across multiple platforms. There were also pre-designed themes that could enhance the aesthetic value of the course. The tool has valuable options for translating e-learning courses. It allowed for converting courses into Rich Text Format (RTF) files for translation. The files, once translated could be imported back into the tool to create the translated course. An important addition was the ability to develop a switchable GUI that helped learners access the course in the language of their choice, at any point in the course. The tool was packed with numerous options for assessments to make the e-learning designer’s life easy. Apart from graded tests, there were options to include pre- and post-assessments, randomized tests, standalone quizzes, and surveys. There were options to modify parameters such as the feedback and number of attempts by learners. The advanced features and capabilities in this version of the tool were useful when responding to clients with varied requirements in their courses. For instance, a medical equipment manufacturing company wanted to teach employees the anatomy of the respiratory system through a graphically-rich and effective e-learning course. The course had to be learner-centric and also visually rich. Lectora was used because of its compatibility with Flash and ability to develop a visually-rich course. The tool helped to: However, this version of Lectora did have its share of drawbacks, in spite of an intuitive user interface; the tool was designed more for experienced instructional designers than novice users. And it lacked in capabilities to produce rich graphics and animations compared to other contemporary tools. The next version of Lectora Inspire made an attempt to overcome these drawbacks. This version of Lectora released in 2014, had features that promoted better designer usability. This version provided flexibility while working with images, shapes, and buttons, much like PowerPoint. This was intended to save time as in the previous version, external tools had to be used to create these effects. The HTML-based Run Mode gave an accurate view of how the course will appear and function.There was also an HTML back-end in published courses that complied with Section 508 and WCAG guidelines. This version of Lectora could match the features of rival authoring tools. In response to designing e-learning courses for a multi-device world, this version of Lectora Inspire was released in the end of 2015. The Responsive Course Design or the RCD feature in this tool had learning designers design courses only once for the desktop version. The content is then positioned and sized based on the device either in the landscape or portrait mode. Another feature in this version was the ability to detect the device the learners are using; based on this information, the learner can be alerted on which mode to view the page – portrait or landscape. The Additional Status Action Condition Relationships feature in this version made it easy to check on status updates such as not completed, not in progress, etc. Another important addition in this tool was the addition of BranchTrack, a free plug-in. This application helps create, import, and edit scenario-based exercises. The RCD features in this version made it feasible to transform previous versions of courses built in this tool to be imported to this version and made responsive. We leveraged on this to meet the demand of a client who wanted to convert courses developed in an older version of Lectora to HTML5, to reflect their current branding and also make the courses accessible on mobile devices. The latest release from the Trivantis stable, this version has enhanced features carried over from the previous version. The enhanced RCD features in this tool allow you to create courses for the desktop view which will automatically be rescaled to fit mobile devices. Views can be customized based on the device. The responsive bar can adjust the views to get a perfect layout. The tool also offers the option to automatically play media on mobile devices, which makes it simple to deliver voice-over narration and video content on the device. This version includes an enhanced version of BranchTrack which can be integrated with the tool. This will help you directly add scenarios to the course. A complaint in the previous version was the poor transition between pages. During transition, a white flash was appearing on the pages; with the Seamless Play option in this version, the transition is smooth from page to page, helping viewers with a more immersive view of the course. Another addition is the Anchor position feature that provides the option to fix the position of elements on a scrolling page in a mobile device. This feature allows you to lock down an object’s location on the page, even when scrolled. This is perfect for use in mobile devices where it is possible to anchor logos, headers, footers, navigation, images, and videos. We chose this version for its ability to work across multiple platforms and devices when we converted a repository of 500 legacy courses into mobile compatible courses for a US-based telecommunications company. All versions of Lectora Inspire were continually upgraded with enhancements, bug fixes, or new features. The next version will most likely focus on improving ease of use and including features required by users. Lectora Inspire continues to evolve and has proved to be a versatile tool that tries to meet the dynamic demands of online training.

Phillips de Pury is attempting to demystify the experience. On September 17, the Chelsea auction house will launch a series of sales called Saturdays@Phillips, with starting prices around $500 (maxing out around $20,000). The idea is that the same people who curate their apartments at the Hell’s Kitchen flea market and Jonathan Adler will add the Saturday sale to their weekend routes. To that end, the catalogues will mix contemporary art with photography and furniture. Even buyers with only cocktail-party knowledge of the art world will recognize quite a few names: The first sale includes Eames furniture, prints by Takashi Murakami, and Nan Goldin snapshots. Photography, in fact, is the medium that new buyers usually feel bravest about, says Phillips’s Rick Wester. “This event caters to people who have a spot on their wall—it’s about finding that special piece,” he says. “And buying because you like it.” NAIROBI — I had not spoken to George Obama in years, not since co-writing a story on the far-flung Obama diaspora for this magazine in 2009. But last week, President Barack Obama’s youngest half-brother called. By coincidence, I was in Kisumu, the western Kenyan city closest to Obama’s ancestral village, waiting to meet another of Obama’s relatives, his half-uncle Said, for an interview. After a few pleasantries, George asked me when I was coming to see him. Then the conversation took a familiar turn as he asked whether I would buy him lunch, a well-known Kenyan euphemism for slipping someone some cash. I declined, we chatted a bit more, then hung up. George said the hounding by journalists over the years had, eventually, forced him out of Nairobi, where he used to live, to the quiet anonymity of a village close to Lake Victoria where he was keeping his head down. But as his half-brother prepared to make his first visit to Kenya since becoming president of the U.S., George was resurfacing, hoping like so many others to make something of his trip. Obama’s homecoming, as his visit to Kenya this weekend is seen here, has dominated newspapers for weeks (this is a country where daily newspapers still sell and still set the day’s agenda). The coverage crescendoed on Friday. “Karibu Obama” (“Welcome Obama”) ran the identical, and predictable, headlines in Kenya’s two leading newspapers. The Standard promised its readers a “128-page bumper issue,” complete with a double-size centerfold of Obama at the lectern and a photo album of snaps from his previous visits to Kenya, as a senator in 2006 and a young man in 1988. The Daily Nation had included a special 32-page pullout in the previous day’s edition and encouraged readers to tweet their enthusiasm using the #ObamaInKenya hashtag. #ObamaHomecoming is also popular. Nairobi — or rather, the few parts of the city Obama will drive through, as opposed to fly over — are getting an unprecedented face-lift. With characteristic wit, Kenyans have dubbed this cleanup “Obamacare.” Potholes have been filled, broken pavements tarred, curbs cemented into place and painted, and new streetlights erected. Flimsy U.S. and Kenyan flags dangle from wonky new poles along the routes the presidential cavalcade will travel. Flowers and grass have been planted on once-barren verges and central reservations, but the City Council notices reading “Keep off the grass” are sadly optimistic: The flurry of civic works were left so late that the grass seeds are yet to sprout and the mini-palm trees and flower stems list in the muddy banks. “Maybe it will be ready by the time the Pope is coming,” laughs a taxi driver, referring to a proposed papal visit, in November. Obama memorabilia is everywhere. Street hawkers have swapped the usual tangles of phone chargers and stacks of cell-phone scratch cards for American flags roughly nailed to splintered sticks. Clothes sellers are doing a brisk trade in T-shirts with Obama’s screen-printed picture. The Stars and Stripes flutter from the handlebars of boda-boda motorbike taxis while matatu minibus taxis have been resprayed with a U.S. presidential triumvirate of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Obama. Kenyans are eager to welcome home a man they refer to as their “son,” though this is no nation of birthers. Kenyans know Obama was born in the U.S., but that detail can be lost among the patriotic pride and jingoistic fervor. Obama’s Kenyan roots are deep and strong and his story a seeming contraction of time itself, making the leap from a tiny African village to the White House in just one generation. Kogelo, in the far west, is the Obamas’ ancestral village, where the president’s father, Barack Obama Senior, and grandfather, Hussein Obama, are both buried. His oldest living relative, 94-year old step-grandmother Sarah Obama, still lives here. The village primary and secondary schools are both named after him. Roads and restaurants carry the Obama name. Businessman Nicholas Rajula — who claims distant kinship with the president — built the Kogelo Village Resort explicitly to cash in on Obama tourism. The main building is called the White House. Rooms are named after Obama’s wife, daughters, and other ancestors (I was put up in “Michelle” during my recent visit). A wonderfully bad cement statue of Obama shaking hands with his 94-year-old step-grandmother, who still lives in Kogelo, greets visitors. The hotel conference room is Pentagon Hall. The grassy courtyard garden where, in November 2012, I joined the people of Kogelo to watch the U.S. election results on a large-screen television, is being dug up to make way for a swimming pool. An man rides a bicycle and a trailer with messages reading "welcome Kenya Obama" in Nairobi on July 23, 2015, on the eve of the US President's visit. Photo: Tony Karumba/AFP/Getty Iages Rajula, 55, has big plans that he does not think will be disrupted by Obama leaving office next year. He compares Kogelo to Jerusalem, “where Jesus was born” and says the village will remain a pilgrimage site for years to come. Nor does the fact that Obama is not expected to make the pilgrimage himself this weekend curb his enthusiasm. “We can’t be disappointed,” he tells me, “this is a one-off show. Already we have achieved so much through his presidency. And we understand that he is a busy man.” In the wake of the Obama’s inauguration the Kenyan government discovered Kogelo building a paved road and delivering grid electricity and piped water for the first time. “Until he became the president, we didn’t have a lot of things,” says Said, 49, when I meet him in Kisumu. “There was no electricity, no tarmac roads, there was not water flowing. I grew up herding my father’s livestock and that’s even what Barack Senior did when he was growing up in the village.” Despite these changes, Kogelo remains a quintessentially rural African place, its soundscape dominated by lowing cows, crowing roosters, birdsong, and the happy chatter of children — many of them barefoot — walking to school. The attention on the Kenyan Obamas has taken its toll over the years. “We no longer have our privacy,” says Said, who has assumed the role of family spokesman. To be fair, some of the intrusion has been invited. Memoirs penned by Obama’s constellation of half-relatives (and their ghostwriters) are a thriving cottage industry. George, as well as half-sister Auma and China-based half-brother Mark Ndesanjo, have all published books since Obama became president. Others have sought to profit in different ways. Another half-brother, Malik, made a disastrous run for local political office in Kenya in 2013 and has taken to auctioning off old handwritten letters from the president and occasionally bad-mouthing him to the conservative U.S. media. When I visited Malik’s Barack H. Obama Foundation and restaurant in Kogelo, his SUV was parked out back but a waiter insisted he was not around. But for most Kenyans, Obama’s visit is more than an opportunity to cash in, it is a moment of national pride and personal inspiration, a sign of Kenya’s position in the world and a reminder that your origins don’t have to determine your future.

We don't normally write expressions with a mix of fractions and percentages; but in order to be mathematically consistent, we must interpret it as your teacher did, treating a percentage as merely a different representation of a fraction. But the reason we don't normally write like that is that one can interpret it as you do, making it somewhat ambiguous. In fact, many simple calculators do just that: entering "x + y%" is interpreted as "increase x by y percent", that is, as "x * (1 + y/100)". So your interpretation is understandable; it is just not what we expect it to mean mathematically. (And I dislike using those calculators, because if I use it for anything other than the applications they expect, I can't be quite sure what they will do. More advanced calculators, if they have a % button at all, treat it as your teacher does.) Since your teacher agrees with me, you can take that as the truth within your class! Out in the real world, you would be wise to ask someone what they mean by it, if you ever see something written like this. By the way, you wrote your explanation very clearly, as many students would not. Thanks for making it easy for us! The one thing I would have written differently is "40-12/100", which should be (40-12)/100. The controversy over calcium supplements comes from a study that suggested that calcifications (calcium buildup) in coronary arteries may occur more frequently in women taking calcium in tablet form. The number of heart attacks was small, and the study wasn't designed to look at heart attacks, but the results are reassuring in view of claims that calcium supplements harm the heart. Calcium supplements, he says, should be considered only if you do not get the recommended daily amount of calcium through diet. The mechanism by which calcium supplements may contribute to heart disease is thought to involve the accumulation of calcium in the arteries, which we know can occur over time. Although the data showed women who took calcium supplements had a lower mortality risk, there was no statistical benefit for men. Most men who take calcium supplements tend to be older and frailer and have other health issues, and there's no guarantee that the statistical analyses, however well intentioned, can adequately account for and remove these confounders. said this study should not cause anyone to stop taking calcium supplements, and NPA has long recommended consumers discuss calcium intake with their healthcare professional. A safe alternative to calcium supplements is to consume calcium-rich foods, such as low-fat dairy foods, beans, and green leafy vegetables, which contain not only calcium but also a cocktail of essential minerals and vitamins," she wrote. Researchers found that older adults who were given vitamin D and calcium supplements were 9 percent less likely to die over three years than those given placebo pills. The study, in the April 19 issue of BMJ, suggests that calcium supplements may cause "abrupt" increases in blood calcium levels within hours that can affect platelet function or endothelial cell activity. The researchers used data from 15 studies in which one group received calcium supplements and one group did not. PEOPLE taking calcium supplements have about a 30% higher risk of heart attack, research out today suggests. The American Association for Cancer Research 101st Annual Meeting 2010 was the site of a presentation concerning the finding of a protective effect of vitamin and calcium supplements against breast cancer. As long as you already have a working knowledge of the guitar and can play an A chord and an F chord...you should be fine and dandy. I will teach you how to play the Dobro and Lap Steel guitar from a guitarist's point of view. No need for finger picks or anything else other than an instrument. An acoustic guitar or electric guitar will be fine for now. You will want a real instrument at some point. These instruments are tuned to open G which is (DBGDBG) Highest to lowest. You will want a proper slide for this. It is shown in the video below. Not your typical style slide. So, check out the video clip to see the kind of stuff you will be learning. I make this easier than any other teacher out there. How???? Because I love to teach and I don't suck at it. LOL As soon as my Lap Steel and Dobro lessons came out for blues players, I got tons of requests for a classic country version, since country is my specialty...you got it my friends! This great lesson is for the beginner and intermediate player. I take you from square one. Both instruments are played exactly the same and you can choose to play either or both. I will give you all of the licks and tricks to take you from a beginner to a pro all in this one lesson. How can I do it? Because this is what I do. I teach better than anybody out there. You'll also get to play along with the greatest country songs ever recorded. That's right, you get to jam with the band! No need for finger picks or anything else other than an instrument. An acoustic guitar or electric guitar will be fine for now. You will want a real instrument at some point. These instruments are tuned to open G which is (DBGDBG) Highest to lowest. You will want a proper slide for this. It is shown in the video below. Not your typical style slide. This video is intended for the complete beginner. If you have a working knowledge of guitar or music in general...great. If not, don't worry, I teach this video from a total beginners point of view. No need for finger picks or anything else other than an instrument. These instruments are tuned to C6 which is (CEGACE) lowest to highest. You will want a proper slide for this. It is shown in the video clip. Not your typical style slide. Plus a proper tuner (not a regular guitar tuner)...also discussed below. Along with teaching you how to play along with any given song on your own, I also take you through "Your Cheatin' Heart" by Hank Williams Sr. and also "Big City" by Merle Haggard and provide you with the backing tracks also for practicing with these songs. This video is for guitarists that have a basic knowledge of the guitar and even for complete beginners. No need for finger picks or anything else other than an instrument. These instruments are tuned to E7 which is (BDEG#BE) lowest to highest. You will want a proper slide for this. Not your typical style slide, but one that is meant for a lap steel and dobro. I teach heavily with a volume pedal and the focus is mainly on trying to make the instrument sound like a pedal steel. It is the closest thing to having a real pedal steel (which can cost many thousands of dollars). This video will get you tons of those sounds out of an instrument that costs less than two hundred bucks! I don't teach on an actual dobro in this video, I show everything on a lap steel guitar. Everything translates very well to a dobro.

Cryptocurrencies are no doubt quite a weird asset to many people who have never invested in it before. What is is exactly? How do you buy it and how and you make money from it? These questions are all warranted and everyone has no doubt posed these questions some time in the past. These are the minor stepping stones that we take towards wider understanding and adoption. In this beginners guide to making money with cryptocurrencies, we will go over some of the most important steps that you can take in order to make money. You cannot start trading cryptocurrencies unless you have some sort of an idea of what they are and which types you can trade. This does not have to be an in depth knowledge but it does help to know the basics of the coins. These include concepts such as the blockchain, transactions, miners and exchanges. These are the factors that will determine supply and demand. As we all know, supply and demand is usually always able to drive price. You will also need to read up on the factors that may drive the individual coins on the technology side. These include things such as code changes and hard forks. Any big changes to a cryptocurrencies technology is likely to drive the price. The broker is perhaps one of the most important pieces of the puzzle when it comes to making money with cryptocurrencies. This is because the broker will usually charge fees and these can eat into your profit. Moreover, the tools that the broker gives you in order to trade can be indispensable. It is really important that the trading platform have features such as the latest charting, technical analysis and stop loss limits. There are not too many brokers that meet this criteria yet one of the most well known in IQ Option. They are fully regulated in Europe and are one of the most established brokers in the industry. Apart from the really low trading fees and the 15 different cryptocurrency pairs that you can trade, there are number of other benefits. You can read more about it in this IQ Option cryptocurrency review. Trading cryptocurrencies is not unlike any other skill that you learn about in life. It is essential that you spend the time to practice before you jump in. You want to make sure that you know what signals to look for, what news to listen for and which patterns to follow. Although this can be read in a book, theory is often much more different than in practice. Nothing can quite prepare you for the feeling of actually entering a trade and hitting the buttons to exit. A great deal of this is also done by gut and many of the best traders can attest to this. There is also the benefit of the IQ option demo platform. This is exactly the same as the live trading account except you are only trading demo “fake” funds. This is one of the most important risk management tools that people often dismiss when they start trading cryptocurrencies. They do not use any sort of risk management mechanisms like a stop loss that could prevent excessive losses or lock in sizable gains. These stop losses are also placed around important technical levels when you enter the trade. They are chosen specifically for the purposes of making your trading decision automated. Moreover, you do not have to constantly be logged in if you want your trades to be effectively executed. It is also important to determine how secure these stop losses are. Some stop losses are not guaranteed which means that they can easily be crossed through and you can lose all of your money. While stop losses are great to manage risk for those trades that you have on, they are nothing more than trading instructions to enter / exit a trade based on a particular level. If you wanted more intuitive risk management strategies, then that is where cryptocurrency options come in. These are instruments that will either pay you out if they are in the money or you will lose your initial “premium” if they are out of the money. This is why they are considered a favorable instrument given that that can be considered an “insurance” policy. You can also enter these options depending on which side of the trade you want to “hedge”. It could be a “PUT” or a “CALL’. The latter will protect a short position and the former a long position. Trading cryptocurrencies can be quite a nerve wracking experience. Prices will move in a much more volatile fashion than one is used to in other traditional markets such as Forex or Shares. Hence, it is really important that you have a strategy and you stick to it. Don’t let your emotions dictate what you do with this strategy. Far too often, people will have a strategy and then they will abandon said strategy at any sign of weakness. Do not let that be you. This is further proof as to why you should first practice trading with a demo account before. In this environment you can test all of the different trading strategies in a non threatening environment. Once you are ready to progress to the live account, you will have the right temperament to handle the emotional struggles that come with cryptocurrency trading. Making money with cryptocurrencies can be tricky at first, but it is essential that you do not let your experiences dishearten you. You will have ups and you will have downs. While sometimes the market is out of your control, there are a number of things that are in your control. These include such factors as your emotions, your strategy and your risk management. If you keep these in toe, you will no doubt reach your goals. And always remember, never invest more than you are willing to lose. While trading can be lucrative, it can also be risky.
“Give all you have to something you believe in. It might not always be easy, but it will be bloody rewarding!” State of Residency: VIC. Favourite place in Australia: Australian Alps. Upon arrival: Surprised by the Australian accent. Gerardo is a passionate Mexican entrepreneur and adventurer who, alongside Diana Hull, co-founded La Tortilleria, a traditional Mexican tortilla bakery in Melbourne that supplies authentic corn tortillas to grocery stores and restaurants across Australia and South East Asia. He was recently awarded the Mexican Federal Government’s award for Outstanding Mexican Abroad, becoming the first Mexican-Australian to receive this honour. This highly selective award honours Mexicans living overseas who have made a valuable contribution to raising the profile and enhancing the image of Mexico in foreign lands. Gerardo is also the 26th Mexican to climb Mount Everest to the summit. Contributes to Australia’s cultural diversity and provides a sense of pride and belonging amongst Mexicans living in Australia. An event that exemplifies this is the Earthquake Fund Relief event organised in 2017 which raised $20,842. This event gathered the Mexican community and their non-Mexican friends together in a time of great distress and gave them an avenue to help and heal. After finishing my engineering degree in Mexico, I moved to London to study a Master in Science in Information Security. Shortly after graduation, I was head hunted by Deloitte and moved to Los Angeles to start my professional career. In May 2009, I fulfilled a lifelong ambition to climb to the top of Mount Everest, being the 26th Mexican to do so. This experience showed me that anything is possible if you put your heart and mind to it and inspired me to expand my horizons and seek a new life in a different country. While sitting in a tea house on the walk back from Everest Base Camp, I spotted a world map on the wall, and Australia just stood out for me. It was the furthest point I had not been to, and seemed like a place of exciting adventures. Maybe it was destiny, but after requesting a transfer within Deloitte, I landed in Melbourne in October 2009 and from the day I knew I had made the right decision. The warmth of the people in Melbourne captivated me and I felt welcomed, but there was one thing missing: limited authentic Mexican food like what you find on the streets in Mexico. The culinary richness of actual authentic Mexican food was largely unknown. I enjoy sharing my culinary heritage with my new homeland, so I was regularly hosting dinner parties to show my new friends how incredible Mexican food is. But I knew I wanted to contribute on a bigger scale. Around this time I met Diana, an Australian anthropology student who had studied in Mexico and shared my passion for Mexican culinary heritage. In 2012 things began to change in the Mexican food scene: A few restaurants were starting to embrace authentic Mexican and people who had travelled to Mexico talked about the lack of real Mexican food here. The issue was getting the right ingredients, most importantly, the staple of Mexican cuisine - the corn tortilla. The only ones widely available here at the time were either imported frozen from the US, or made here from an imported ‘instant’ tortilla flour. Being passionate about sustainability and low food miles, Diana and I knew there was a gap in the market and we could fill it by creating a local 100% Australian alternative that included cooking and stone grinding our own corn to make the tortillas from scratch. In March 2013 La Tortilleria was born in a quiet backstreet of an industrial area in Kensington. Getting it off the ground was hugely challenging and involved overcoming quite a few obstacles. We had no guarantee that making authentic corn tortillas from scratch outside of Mexico would actually work and we had no industry model to guide us. With as much careful prior research and self-belief as we could muster, we took a leap of faith. Word got around the Mexican community that there was now a place they could buy fresh nixtamal tortillas and food from back home. This then spread to the mainstream and within the first few months of opening there was a line out the door and the local food media reviewers were keen to write about us. Mexican restaurants started approaching us to start supplying them wholesale. Over the past 4 years, we have grown from a small neighborhood bakery to Australia’s leading supplier of authentic Mexican corn tortillas, which last year produced over 9 million tortillas and employees more than 50 passionate individuals. We currently supply almost all the top-rated Mexican restaurant in Melbourne, and many more in each other major city. Our retail and wholesale products are available in every state and territory in Australia through our network of distributors, and we now export to South East Asia and New Zealand. Starting a business - We began the business on a very tight shoestring, which in itself presented a lot of challenges. During the first year Diana and I were very hands-on, wearing most of the hats ourselves to keep the costs down. We had to reinvent ourselves into a world we didn’t know much about. We cooked, waited tables, cleaned, made tortillas and did the admin and management duties. We would not have got through this if it wasn’t for the strong support network of friends, neighbours, our beloved customers and of course our incredible team. Very long hours - I had to maintain my full-time job in order to funnel much-needed extra cash into the business, so this meant working 90+ hour weeks. I would wake up early in the morning to help make the tortillas, go to my day job, and then return straight after work for the dinner service. Afterwards we’d stay until 11pm or later to cook the corn ready to do it all again the next day, including weekends. At times like these, grit is what gets you through! Sourcing key materials – Here in Australia it is not very common to find corn other than sweet corn; the type of grinding corn we needed for tortilla making is hard to come by. Finding farmers who could grow our corn for us took many months of investigation and planning. Stereotypes about Mexican food - When I first arrived in Australia, there was a misperception that “Mexican food” consisted mostly of hard-shell tacos, burritos and other US-based ‘Tex-Mex’ dishes. This perception is changing, and people are started to learn about the traditional foods that are actually eaten in Mexico. The contributions by restaurants, Mexican produce suppliers, and Mexicans living in Australia has been pivotal in generating this change. The fact that Australian consumers are starting to acknowledge the difference between Mexican and Tex-Mex is a great start. Take a leap of faith - Take a chance and give all you have to something you believe in. It might not always be easy, but it will be bloody rewarding! For La Tortilleria, it was a long journey of long days, persistence, and constantly riding the intense learning curve. Australia is a land of opportunities for those who are willing to give it a go. I like to think that passion and drive can overcome any obstacles. Put your passion before work – stop doing things that do not align to your personal and professional goals and do more of the things that have a meaning to you! When you give a purpose to the trivial and routine tasks you are doing, they suddenly become enjoyable and you start moving faster through them. Gerardo would like to see La Tortilleria continue to grow and reach more people in the region, and the world – why not? – who can enjoy their authentic corn tortillas and other products they are planning to bring into the market. All of this whilst assisting other immigrants to Australia to fulfill their own dreams of establishing themselves here through more employment opportunities, mentoring and community service. In addition, he is currently working on a project to fulfill his personal ambition of filming a TV show in Mexico to showcase the beauty of Mexico and richness of Mexican food to the Australian audience. Finally, he would like to climb a couple more 8,000+ meters mountains and complete the crossing of Antarctica unassisted.

A few years ago, the state of Virginia convicted a notorious spammer under its state anti-spam laws, and sentenced him to nine years in prison. The spammer, Jeremy Jaynes has been appealing the decision ever since, without much luck. Last year, an appeals court upheld the conviction and noted that a nine year sentence didn't seem excessive. However, it appears Jaynes is now trying a totally different route to fighting the conviction: claiming that Virginia's anti-spam law is unconstitutional. The idea is that it violates first amendment free speech rights by banning even spam that's non-commercial in nature. The state, however, is responding that the law doesn't ban any kind of speech at all -- but it does ban falsifying information in order to trespass on others' systems for the sake of advertising. There may actually be a fairly fine line that's worth distinguishing here between banning the specific kind of speech and whether or not the "speaker" is falsifying information in order to get across that speech. It seems unlikely that the courts will rule against the anti-spam law, but if it does it would be interesting to see if spammers in other states follow suit. ...does not include the right to crap in my inbox. Or paint graffiti on my house (for the same reason). Lying about who you are in order to get into my house is criminal trespass. So is lying about who you are in order to crap in my inbox. ... but that doesn't mean that we can bear them in public! We have rights, but we have laws that keep people from abusing those rights. Free speech is something that's highly protected (and it should be) but in addition to yelling "fire" in a theater, or telling someone you're going to kill them, spamming should also not be done. Actually, it does. When the Constitution says that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed", it means exactly that. Laws against bearing arms in public infringe on our right to bear arms. If it is really necessary to curtail our Constitutionally guaranteed rights, the correct way to do it is through Constitutional amendments, not through laws that violate the Constitution. And here in Arizona - you CAN bear firearms in public! and with a CCW (Concealed Weapons Permit), you can carry them in public... in private. Wow, that sounds weird - now, where did I put that thesaurus... You'd better check your facts. In most states I've been in, it's completely legal to carry a firearm in public. You just must not have it concealed unless you carry a conceal permit. Cities may have laws against such things but, as far as I know there are no states with laws banning unconcealed carry. There are several states that forbid open carry, and a few that make ownership of a gun (except by police and politicians) illegal. The states that have repealed the second amendment also have the highest per capita gun crime rates. Here in Texas, since I am licensed, I can carry my handgun concealed, but not openly. In neighboring Louisiana, I can carry either openly or concealed. However, I worry about it applying to all the times I lied to gain entry...even though I did call her back the next day.... 1. Uses a computer or computer network with the intent to falsify or forge electronic mail transmission information or other routing information in any manner in connection with the transmission of unsolicited bulk electronic mail through or into the computer network of an electronic mail service provider or its subscribers; B. A person is guilty of a Class 6 felony if he commits a violation of subsection A and [volume exceeds 10K attempted recipients inside 24 hrs, 100K inside 30 days or 1M inside a year OR revenue from any single transmission exceeds $1K or ALL transmissions to any single service provider generate >$50K] The law makes no distinction whatsoever about the content. It describes only the methods and actions which are considered illegal, on very firm meatspace legal grounds (criminal trespass, fraud, theft of services). In short, he's fucked, but does he really have anything better to do for the next nine years? Spammers are, by definition, dishonest theives. They will, in all likelihood, never do anything to "add to the fabric of humanity" - and so, should not be tolerated at any level. Life improsonment ought to be reserved for bad folks with at least a few good intentions and skill that can be used "for good instead of evil". I say "DEATH TO ALL SPAMMERS". They are entirely useless and only contribute to "global warming". But that's another tirade. His penalty should be that he has to write the law in pen ... one hundred million times. An a propos penalty. Except as I've always seen it, freedom of speech protects the content of the speech, not the form of delivery. Which means he can say everything he did in the spam, so long as it wasn't delivered as it was. It is against the law to send someone unsolicited business email (I know, there are provisions.) Should it also be against the law to use someone's unsecured WiFi? I personally do think that 9 years is a bit excessive, at least for a first offense. Granted, I don't know all the details, but I don't generally like zero-tolerance type policies, because they never allow for the consideration of special circumstances, which almost always exist. Of course that depends on the nature of the crime too. Obviously anything that harms human beings is much more serious and requires more severe punishment, but that is not the case here. I would think a year, maybe two, would be adequate for a first conviction. Then if he continues his activities and gets caught again, then 10+ years would not, IMO, be out of line. I hate spam as much as the next guy, but I also believe in not letting flared tempers get in the way of rational judgment. And for the record, I do think it would be really funny to make him write out that law by hand a million times. That would certainly burn it into his brain forever. I personally do think that 9 years is a bit excessive, at least for a first offense. Granted, I don't know all the details, but I don't generally like zero-tolerance type policies, because they never allow for the consideration of special circumstances, which almost always exist. What special circumstances can surround unsolicited emailing of thousands of people? That isn't a "whoops I hit the send button 100,000 extra times" kind of thing. He deliberately violated the legal statute that makes sending unsolicited email illegal. It would be a different story if everyone on his mailing list had signed up (like a news letter), but that is not the case. He simply farmed/bought emails for the purpose of spamming. It seems pretty clear cut to me. The guy was made an example of. You never want to go into court with the the possibility of having your case be an example to others. In perspective, he sent people emails. Guys beat the crap out of their wife or kids or others and don't get 9 years. On a similar line of reasoning, consider the punishment for tampering with snail mail. That is a shining example of, on the surface, excessive punishment. But it is there for a reason. Imagine if you got a slap on the wrist for destroying someone else's mail. A fine perhaps. Violations would be rampant and the mail system would have fallen apart. Severe punishments had to be instituted. Now... people wouldnt even consider messing with someone's mail. I have known of people who receive someone else's mail and dont know what to do with it. "Should I just throw it away!?!" The mail system is completely reliable. The same rules have been pushed forward to email. Although there is a lot of gray area involved, mostly due to the fact that most legislators are "technologically challenged". Without strict rules and harsh punishments, the risk/reward thought process is too simple. High potential profit + low risk of punishment = "LETS SEND SOME SPAM!!!" Add some stronger punishments (such as upwards of a decade in prison) and it isnt such a simple decision anymore. You have to make a choice somewhere. Either learn to love your spam, or accept the fact that examples must be made. You cant have it both ways. This seems to me like a natural extension of the old law prohibiting unsolicited faxes. Unfortunately now it's easier to obfuscate the sender information. I'm glad the guys in jail. I pay for an email service and protect it as much as humanly possible and I hate that it's overrun with crap. We should have an Island, like midway in the middle of the pacific ocean, where we send these guys, with hackers too and ID theft, that has no electronics, no internet, and no way of getting on to our computers for life. These guys are a-holes, they abuse technology and they dont deserve to use it ever again. Look - Free speech is like putting up a billboard with a statement. Free speech is not coming to my house and cramming 150 letter in my mail box. That's my property you are on pal. And it's my inbox they are filling with junk. It's not YOUR inbox, unless you own the email server that you use. If you are using a free email service, they can terminate your account right now and you couldn't do anything about it. I don't know about you guys, but with gmail, I rarely ever see spam in my inbox. But then again, I'm not an inbred monkey with a keyboard either. Let's also assume that every one of these messages were delivered. Let's also assume that it took 5 seconds for a person to read and delete the message. This means that it took people 50 million seconds to delete the message... or over 138,888 hours to delete the messages. Now let's assume that the people who receive these messages make an average of $10 an hour: some make more, some make less. And, of course, this doesn't count the cost of damage done to people when they clicked on his spam: did they get spyware, did they get a virus, did they lose their money in a stock scam, did they lose their money to a fake pharmacy, and so on. 2) The second point is that we shouldn't feel too bad for this guy. He probably won't spend all nine years in jail and he'll probably get out early for "good behavior" (or some such). I would be willing to bet that, after he's released from prison, he takes a job as a "consultant" for anti-spam companies and makes a high 6-digit salary. I would say at least 3/4 of the spam messages weren't even read. To assume 100% were read is just plain ignorant. There is no essential difference between 'spam' delivered by email and 'junk mail' delivered by the USPS. Yet the former is punishable by 9 years in jail while the latter is protected by law and if you interfere with its delivery you can go to a federal pen! If you wanted to talk about actual costs to the public involved, most people (with intelligence greater than that of a grape) quickly learn to spot spam and simply delete it without ever even opening it, let alone taking time to read it first. Junk Mail, on the other hand must be physically disposed of and, even if that only means sorting it and carrying it to the nearest trash can, it requires more time and effort than getting rid of spam does. Some towns (mine) are now even demanding that junk mail be treated as recyclable material, thereby requiring even greater amounts of time and effort to get rid of it. At least I can be fairly confident that I will never have to recycle spam! What justification is there for protecting snail mail spam by federal law while vilifying email spam that is more easily and economically dealt with? "There is no essential difference between 'spam' delivered by email and 'junk mail' delivered by the USPS." Sure there is, for one the cost of delivering by USPS is borne 100 percent by the sender. That is not true of spam. At least half of the cost is borne by the recipient, without his consent. My whole point (which you apparently missed) was that the cost of disposing of spam is what is so bitterly complained of and that the cost of disposing of snail mail spam is considerably greater than that of disposing of email spam. Saying "spam is theft" may sound nice and dramatic but that doesn't make it so - and the 'theft' of my time and materials to dispose of junk mail can be as easily called the same thing. Let's face it: most of the whining about spam is just that. Any decent email system provides quite adequate spam filters and if it is really bothering you, you can easily find all the additional protection from the evilll stuff online - and often for free! Exactly my point. Those systems cost money, they are not included free with email servers, nor is the equipment that they run on. I run the network for a public school. We have about 3K in software and equipment to stop the spam, which constitutes about 94 percent of our incoming email. While that is not a big number that is 3K less that is being spent in the classroom. My point (which you apparently missed) is that delivery of the spam costs the recipient money and time. I said nothing about disposing of it. But since you want to go there, the time the teacher spends deleting junk mail is time she is not teaching your child. The biggest difference in the law allowing the USPS to de;iver junk mail to you house and email spam being illegal is that the government makes money off the first and not the second. That is why junk snail mail is legal. I would rather receive spam than junk mail, I have to carry junk mail to the curb on Monday, spam I just hit the delete key.

On September 25th of 2015 195 countries met in Paris to lay out a set of goals that would end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. These 17 goals would be known as the Sustainable Development Goals, the successor to the Millennium Development Goals. Each goal, like the Millennium Development Goals, would look to be achieved over a time-span of 15 years. Defined by the World Bank, extreme poverty is characterized as living below $1.25/day. It is estimated that 1 in 5 people living in developing regions live in extreme poverty. The majority of people living in extreme poverty are surrounded by conflict and live in Southern Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all to cover the majority of the worlds poor and vulnerable Ensure that all men and women have equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to basic services, ownership and control over land and other forms of 13 property, inheritance, natural resources, appropriate new technology and financial services, including microfinance Build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable and reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events and other economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters. Ensure significant mobilization of resources from a variety of sources, including through enhanced development cooperation, in order to provide adequate and predictable means for developing countries, in particular least developed countries, to implement programmes to end poverty in all its dimensions. Create sound policy frameworks at the national, regional and international levels, based on pro-poor and gender sensitive development strategies, to support accelerated investment in poverty eradication actions. The UN’s page on No Poverty, of which most of this information was obtained, spells out the importance of the goal very well. Poverty is more than just a lack of income or resources to ensure a sustainable livelihood. Its manifestations include hunger and malnutrition, limited acces to education and other basic services, social discrimination and exclusion as well as the lack of participation in decision-making. Economic growth must be inclusive to provide sustainable jobs and promote equality. -UN The goal of Zero Hunger is to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. We are not only looking to end hunger but establish a sustainable and healthy agricultural system throughout the world. End all form of malnutrition, including achieving, by 2025, the internationally agreed targets on stunting and wasting in children under 5 years of age, and address the nutritional needs of adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women and older persons. Double the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers, in particular women, indigenous peoples, family farmers, pastoralists and fishers, including through secure and equal access to land, other productive resources and inputs, knowledge, financial services, markets and opportunities for value addition and non-farm employment. Ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality. By 2020, maintain the genetic diversity of seeds, cultivated plants and farmed and domesticated animals and their related wild species, including through soundly managed and diversified seed and plant banks at the national, regional and international levels, and promote the access to and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge, as internationally agreed. Correct and prevent trade restrictions and distortions in world agricultural markets, including through the parallel elimination of all forms of agricultural export subsidies and all export measures with equivilant effect, in accordance with the mandate of the Doha Develpment Round. Adopt measures to ensure the proper functioning of food commodity markets and their derivitives and facilitate timely access to market information, including on food reserves, in order to limit extreme food price volatility. If done right, agriculture, forestry and fisheries can provide nutritious food for all and generate decent incomes, while supporting people-centered rural development and protecting the environment. -UN Health and wellness is an extremely important part of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Health is a major contributing cause to poverty traps and with better health the more sustainable other initiatives will become. End the epidemics of AIDS, tuburculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases and combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases and other communicable diseases. Achieve universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential health-care services and access to safe, effective, waulity and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all. Substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazerdous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution and contamination. Support the research and development of vaccines and medicines for the communicable and noncommunicable diseases that primarily affect developing countries, provide access to affordable essential medicines and vaccines, in accordance with the Doha Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement and Public Health, which affirms the right of developing countries to use to the full the provisions in the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights regarding flexibilities to protect public health, and , in particular, provide access to medicines for all. Major progress has been made on increasing access to clean water and sanitation, reducing malaria, tuburculosis, polio and the spread of HIV/AIDS. However, many more efforts are needed to fully eradicate a wide range of diseases and address many different persistant and emerging health issues. – What will likely be the key in ensuring that the Sustainable Development Goals have a lasting impact, education is the foundation to adopting sustainable development. Ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education leading to relevant and Goal-4 effective learning outcomes. Ensure that all girls and boys have access to quality early childhood development, care and preprimary education so that they are ready for primary education. Substantially increase the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment , decent jobs and entrepreneurship. Ensure that all learners aquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development. By 2020, substantially expand globally the number of scholarships available to developing countries, in particular least developed countries, small island developing States and African countries, for enrollment in higher education, including vocational training and information and communications technology, technical, engineering and scientific programmes, in developed countries and other developing countries. Substantially increase the supply of qualified teachers, including through international cooperation for teacher training in developing countries, especially least developed countries and small island developing states. While facing different challenges, Gender Equality is a problem not only in the developing world but the developed world as well. Undertake reforms to give women equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to wonership and control over land and other forms of property, financial services, inheritance and natural resources, in accordance with national laws. Providing women and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work, and representation in political and economic decision-making processes will fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large. -UN Tying in closely with Good Health is Clean Water and Sanitation. Water infrastructure and good sanitation habits are some of the most impactful measures that can be taken to affect health. Achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations. Improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally. Substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from the water scarcity. Implement integrated water resources management at all levels, including through transboundary cooperation as appropriate. Expand international cooperation and capacity-building support to developing countries in water- and sanitation-related activities and programmes, including water harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment recycling and reuse technologies. Clean, accessible water for all is an essential part of the world we want to live in. There is sufficient fresh water on the planet to achieve this. But due to bad economics or poor infrastructure, every year millions of people, most of them children, die from diseases associated with inadequate water supply, sanitation and hygiene. -UN Clean energy will play a major role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Not only will it help curb carbon emissions but will provide an industry full of new jobs, innovation and opportunity. Energy is central to nearly every major challenge and opportunity the world faces today. Be it for jobs, security, climate change, food production or increasing incomes, access to energy for all is essential. -UN Decent Work and Economic Growth will play an important role in generating buy-in for the Sustainable Development Goals. One of the biggest arguments against pursuing many of the proposed actions against climate change is economic impact. If all can be convinced that renewable energy sources and development economics can have a positive economic impact on developed countries than things will move much faster. Sustain per capita economic growth in accordance with national circumstances and, in particular, at least 7 percent gross domestic product growth per annum in the least developed countries. Improve progressively, through 2030, global resources efficiency in consumption and production and endevour to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation, in accordance with the 10-year framework of programmes on sustainable consumption and production, with developed countries taking the lead. Achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men, including for young people and persons with disabilities, and equal pay for work of equal value. A continued lack of decent work opportunities, insufficient investments and under-consumption lead to an erosion of the basic social contract underlying democratic societies: that all must share in progress. -UN Industry and Infrastructure can be seen as a, if not the, foundation to a sustainable economy. All of the Sustainable Development Goals will require investments in infrastructure and progress through innovation in order to be successful. Promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and significantly raise industry’s share of employment and gross domestic product, in line with national circumstances, and double its share in least developed countries. Increase the access of small-scale industrial and other enterprises, in particular in developing countries, to financial services, including affordable credit , and other integration into value chains and markets. Support domestic technology development, research and innovation in developing countries including by ensuring a conducive policy environment for, inter alia, industrial diversification and value addition to commodities. Significantly increase access to information and communication technology and strive to provide universal and affordable access to internet in least developed countries. Investments in infrastructure – transport, irrigation, energy and information and communication technology – are crucial to achieving sustainable development and empowering communities in many countries. -UN Progress with the Sustainable Development Goals can not be achieved without a reduction in the vast inequalities that persist, and indeed grow, throughout the world. Empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status. Ensure enhanced representation and voice for developing countries in decision-making in global economic and financial institutions in order to deliver more effective, credible, accountable and legitimate institutions. To reduce inequality, policies should be universal in principle paying attention to the needs of disadvantaged and marginalized populations. -UN With half the world population now living in cities it becomes increasingly crucial that they be designed in sustainable and safe ways. Provide access to safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport systems for all, improving road safety, notably by expanding public transport, with special attention to the needs of those in vulnerable situations, women, children, persons with disabilities and older persons. Enhance inclusive and sustainable urbanization and capacity for participatory, integrated and sustainable human settlement planning and management in all countries. Significantly reduce the number of deaths and the number of people affected and substantially decrease the direct economic losses relative to global gross domestic product caused by disasters, including water-related disasters, with a focus on protecting the poor and people in vulnerable situations. Provide universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible, green and public spaces, in particular for women and children, older persons and persons with disabilities. By 2020, substantially increase the number of cities and human settlements adopting and implementing integrated policies and plans towards inclusion, resources efficient, mitigation and adaptation to climate change, resilience to disasters, and develop and implement, in line with the Sendal Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, holistic disaster risk management at all levels. The challenges cities face can be overcome in ways that allow them to continue to thrive and grow, while imporving resource use and reducing pollution and poverty. The future we want includes cities of opportunities for all, with access to basic services, energy, housing, transportation and more. -UN Agriculture in the developed world has become a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions while agriculture in developing countries can lack sufficient nutrition and production. Tackling both will be key in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Halve per capita global food waster at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses. Rationalize inefficient fossil-fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption by removing market distortions, in accordance with national circumstances, including by restricting taxation and phasing out those harmful subsidies, where they exist, to reflect their environmental impacts, taking fully into account the specific needs and conditions of developing countries and minimizing the possible adverse impacts on their development in a manner that protects the poor and the affected communities. Sustainable consumption and production aims at “doing more and better with less,” Increasing net welfare gains from economic activities by reducing resource use, degradation and pollution along the whole lifecycle, while increasing quality of life. It involves different stakeholders, including business, consumers, policy makers, researchers, scientists, retailers, media, and development cooperation agencies, among others. – UN It goes without saying that climate change threatens the stability of developed nations and exacerbates the inequalities around the world through the increasingly frequency of extreme weather events. Improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adoption, impact reduction and early warning. Implement the commitment undertaken by developed-country parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to a goal of mobilizing jointly $100 billion annually by 2020 from all sources to address the needs of developing countries in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation and fully operationalize the Green Climate Fund through its capatilization as soon as possible. Promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related panning and management in least developed countries and small island developing States, including focusing on women, youth and local and marginalized communities. Climate change is now affecting every country on every continent. It is distrupting national economies and affecting lives, costing people, communities and countries dearly today and even more tomorrow. – UN Perhaps even greater than our ignorance of space is our ignorance of what lies beneath our own oceans. The world’s oceans are the drivers our entire ecosystem, from fish to air currents. We must not just protect but revitalize our oceans so that they may continue to thrive in a way that has allowed us to thrive. By 2020, conserve at least 10 percent of coastal and marine areas, consistent with national and international law and based on the best available scientific information. Increase teh economic benefits ro Small Island developing States and least dveloped countries from the sustainable use of marine resources, including through sustainable management of fisheries, aquaculture and tourism. Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commision Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed countries. The world’s oceans – their temperature, chemistry, currents and life – drive global systems that make the Earth habitable for humankind. – UN One of the biggest impacts we can make on combating climate change and loss of biodiversity is by stopping deforestation. By 2020, promote the implementation of all types of forests, halt deforestation, restore degraded forests and substantially increase afforestation and reforestation globally. Combat desertification, restore degraded land and soil, including land affected by desertification, drought and floods, and strive to achieve a land degradation-neutral world. Promote fair and suitable sharing of the benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and promote appropriate access to such resources, as internationally agreed. Mobilize and significantly increase financial resources from all sources to conserve and sustainable use biodiversity and ecosystems. Forests cover 30 percent of the Earth’s surface and in addition to providing food security and shelter, forests are key to combating climate change, protecting biodiversity and the homes of the indigenous population. -UN Human Rights are one of the cornerstones to what it means to be human and should underpin every target within the sustainable goals. Sustainability should not be achieved for just the sake of survival, but to allow all people to find opportunity and purpose in their lives. Dignificantly reduce illicit financial and arms flows, strengthen the recovery and return of stolen assets and combat all forms of organized crime. Without a coordinated effort between all, the Sustainable Development Goals will remain out of reach. Developed countries to implement fully their official development assistance commitments, ODA/GNI to developing countries and 0.15 to 0.20 percent of ODA/GNI to least developed countries ODA providers are encouraged to consider setting a target to provide at least 0.20 percent of ODA/GNI to least developed countries. Assist developing countries in attaining long-term debt substantially through coordinated policies aimed at fostering debt financing, debt relief and debt restructuring, as appropriate, and address the external debt of highly indebted poor countries to reduce debt distress. Promote the development, transfer, dissemination and diffusion of environmentally sound technologies to developing countries on favorable terms, including on concessional and preferential terms, as mutually agreed. Enhance internatinoal support for implementing effective and targeted capacity-building in developing countries to support national plans to implement all the sustainable development goals, including through North-South, South-South and triangular cooperation. Promote a universal, rules-based, open, non-disciminatory and equitable multilateral trading systems under the World Trade Organization, including through the conclusion of negotiations under its Doha Development Agenda. Realize timely implementation of duty-free and quota-free market access on a lasting basis for least developed countries, consistent with World Trade Organizations decisions, including by ensuring that preferential rules of origin applicable to imports from least developed countries are transparent and simple, and contribute to facilitating market access. Enhance the global partnership for sustainable development goals in all countries, in particular developing countries. Build on existing initiatives to develop measurements of progress on sustainable development that compliment gorss domestic product, and support statistical capacity-building in developing countries. A successful development agenda requires partnerships between governments, the private sector and civil society. These inclusive partnerships built upon principles and values, a shared vision, and shared goals that place people and the planet at the centre, are needed at the global, regional, national and local level. This paper is devoted to the investigation of the femtosecond pulse propagation in the air by means of numerical methods. The phenomenon behavior is determined by the relation between the multiphoton ionization and small-scale self-focusing (filamentation). The step-by-step behavior of this process was established, where the evolution of filamentation takes place without energy losses till the intensity reaches the threshold value. Then the dissipation for ionization comes into play and the intensity starts to decrease under defocusing influence of electron plasma. The conditions for repeated self-focusing can be formed after the intensity is below the ionization threshold. Typical features of the filamentation final stage can be explained by means of the Bespalov-Talanov theory.
1. The death of Flint Street. In Portland, a $450 million dollar freeway widening project is being sold as a way to “re-connect” a community that was divided by freeway construction half a century ago. But there’s a problem with that claim. Part of the project is eliminating one key local street that’s been there since the area was platted in the 1800s, and which today serves as a heavily used segment of the city’s bike network. When asked last week as to why N. Flint Street was being amputated as part of the freeway widening project–the biggest transportation investment contemplated in Portland’s city center–the city’s transportation director simply didn’t know what the rationale was. 2. Constant change: Turnover in business establishments. It’s natural to think of businesses, particularly larger ones, as long-lived. But as economist Joseph Schumpeter famously observed decades ago, the process of economic growth is one of creative destruction. A recent study sheds some light on the frequency of turnover among largish business establishments. In the US, places that employ 50 or more employees are required to report annually on the racial, gender and ethnic composition of their workforces, and the movement of establishments in and out of that 50 employee threshold is an indicator of how much churn there is in the economy. Over most of the past three decades, about half of the new business establishments that filed in one year were no longer on the register 5 years later–a strong indication of the volatility of the business world. 1. Public schools shouldn’t undermine walkability. Streetsblog writes another chapter in the long running story of how school siting and development decisions conflict with smart urbanism. Angie Schmidt describes how Decatur, Georgia is building a new elementary school in the as part of to redevelop an underutilized warehousing area as a more vibrant neighborhood (a good thing). Unfortunately,the plan devotes devote most of the site to parking space for buses and the staff’s cars (not so good). The result: they’re tying up a big chunk of valuable land just a five minute walk from the city’s new Avondale MARTA rail station. The site actually devotes more land to parking that similar schools in more suburban locations. 2. High Streets for All. It’s a decidedly English term, high street, but it captures the notion of a pedestrian scaled main street with shops, restaurants and public spaces that are at the heart of urban living. A new report from the London School of Economics catalogs the ways that a vibrant, thriving high street creates the kind of environment that promotes the well-being, social interaction, and economic opportunities of city residents. While the focus is on London neighborhoods–most of which you’ve not heard of–the principles and insights have equal force on both sides of the Atlantic. 3. Declining population in some of Seattle’s most desirable neighborhoods. We’ve all heard stories of how Seattle is in the midst of its biggest population boom since the Gold Rush years (they’re true), but ironically, population is stagnant or actually declining in many of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods. Sightline Institute’s Dan Bertolet marshalls the data. The combination of strict single family zoning in most of the city’s privately owned land, coupled with declining household sizes, especially in higher income neighborhoods, means that actually fewer people live in places like Denny-Blaine, Madrona, and Leschi. Because these neighborhoods hold fewer people, those who might like to live their have to reside further away, adding to sprawl, reducing walkability, and cutting people off from opportunity. The solution? Look for ways to add “gentle density” like accessory dwelling units throughout single family areas, and find at more places that can be upzoned for multi-family dwellings. A new measure of school performance. One of the most robust correlations in public life is the link between local incomes and kids test scores. Kids who live in wealthier cities or neighborhoods generally have higher test scores than those who live in lower income areas. But a new study, tapping data from the standardized tests used to implement the No Child Left Behind law, sheds new light on how effective schools are in boosting the measured achievement of their students over time. It turns out that many schools in poor neighborhoods actually do a better job than their richer counterparts in lifting student achievement over time. The study was done by Sean Reardon and his colleagues at Stanford, and draws on another trove of big data: this time 11 million test score results from 11,000 school districts around the nation. The New York Times has a powerful interactive graphic illustrating the study’s findings for the nation’s school districts. For example, Chicago Public Schools (which are poorer on average than those nationally), start out with third graders lagging about a year-and-a-half behind the typical third grader nationally. But by the time they reach 8th grade, these Chicago students have closed about two-thirds of the gap with the national average, and are only about six months behind. What that means is that their schools have essentially accelerated their learning, compared to the average amount of progress made in schools nationally. Nationally, many relatively poor school districts rank considerably higher in raising student achievement over time than do relatively rich school districts.

I have never heard of those who have sat at the bedside of one who is living their last few days or hours of their life here on earth, say something like, 'I wish I had studied or worked harder', or 'I wish I had made more money or bought a bigger house or a better car!' But many have said something similar to, 'I wish I had spent more time with my family', or 'I wish I hadn't said or done something or other.' Final words are often be important and revealing - particularly if someone is aware that their life is drawing to a close! Jesus in the last few days of His life was asked by a lawyer, 'What is the greatest commandment in the Law?' (Matt 22:39-40). You would have thought he would have known this, but probably wanted to trap Jesus. Jesus could have picked one of the ten commandments, or something that the people of His day considered important. Instead Jesus quoted a little verse from the Old Testament scriptures, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” A few days later whilst with His disciples, Jesus took on the role of the lowliest of servants when He carried out a job that none of them were prepared to do - He washed their feet including those of Judas, who He knew was going to betray Him. Then over a meal He said, "“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”" (Jn 13:34-35). Jesus knew the importance love has in all our relationships either with God or each other. For the way we relate to one another can affect so many areas of our lives without our realising it. When relationships are not started correctly or when they go wrong, it can cause us to be anxious, worried, affect our sleep, health and so many other areas of life. During the first few generations of Christianity, they didn't have the technology or the many aids we often have today - yet they were able to affect the known world simply by following Jesus' command - something we will all benefit from irrespective of our background or beliefs. Why not take a moment to think of ways in which you might improve your relationship with God and each other by changing your attitude and setting out to love in a way you might not be doing at present. greenhouse attached to home traditional glass lean to greenhouse x twin wall benefits of greenhouse attached to home. greenhouse attached to home benefits of an optimally efficient off grid passive and active solar how build a,gable end attached greenhouse advance greenhouses benefits of to home how build a,greenhouse attached to home benefits of solar addition how build a,how to build a greenhouse attached home benefits of ,greenhouse glasshouse attached home traditional how to build a benefits of,benefits of greenhouse attached to home how build a wonderful backyard ideas,benefits of greenhouse attached to home how build a dream mom dads future house,greenhouse attached to home benefits of house garden sun room odd shaped porch how build a,benefits of greenhouse attached to home best solarium images on how build a,benefits of greenhouse attached to home how build a house plans with.

Whether you’ve got an interactive shell session, or are writing a shell script, it is very difficult to be certain. It’s better to check for the capabilities that you require. If you find yourself in a shell session, but don’t know what type of shell it is, there are a few ways to find out whether it’s Bourne shell, Bash, ksh, csh, zsh, tcsh, or whatever. However, it’s not always that simple; Bash will set $SHELL only if it was not already set, so if you were running csh and use that to call bash, then Bash’s $SHELL will still say csh, not bash. However, Bash will set the $BASH_VERSION variable, but that’s not really a guarantee that you have that version; it only tells you that there exists a variable which specifies that version. You may not even be running bash at all. Similarly, some shells (particularly /bin/sh) are symbolic links to others – whether to bash (GNU/Linux and newer Solaris), dash (some Linux distros more recently), or ksh (AIX). So $SHELL is a useful start, but not at all definitive. You can search for your UserID in the /etc/passwd file: But there may be many entries containing the text “steve”, and you could be using NIS, LDAP, AD or some other authentication mechanism. $UID should be a read-only variable containing your UserID, and you can search your system-specific passwd via the getent command: However, as my UID is 1000, this would match any line containing “1000” such as an account called “HAL1000”. So this should be one way to get your shell: Still, you could have run another shell after picking up your default shell. You can always check $0 – that should tell you how your current shell was called. You don’t know what the $PATH variable was when that was called – if $0 says “/usr/bin/zsh” then that’s what was called (of course, it is possible that/usr/bin/zsh could have changed since your shell was invoked!). If it just says “sh” then it’s whatever “sh” was found first in the $PATH of the calling shell. And of course, you can’t find out for sure what state that shell was in at that time. On a Linux system, “cat /proc/$$/cmdline” should also give a good clue; “ls -l /proc/$$/exe” is better (but not definitive; it may be marked “(deleted)” if it’s been deleted, so you should check if it’s been subsequently replaced by some other shell. So – it depends why you need to know. If you need to know for sure, on an unknown system, exactly what shell you are in, then I’m sorry, it’s not possible to be absolutely certain. To be reasonably confident, check $SHELL or $0. If you need to be more certain than that, then check for the features you require. If you’re writing a shell script which requires arrays, then define and access an array, check that the results are as expected, and if not, bail out with a message along the lines of “an array-capable shell is expected – we suggest bash or ksh”.

REVIEW: I love “Mission Impossible” movies because you know you’re in for a great ride. The stunts are magnificent (with Tom Cruise doing many of his own stunts, much to the chagrin, I’m sure, of the film’s insurance people), the story always has some twists and turns, and the filmmakers stay true to the original TV franchise, using the same theme music and pop culture references we all know and love. In this case, Ethan gets his assignment via an old-fashioned record player, which, of course, self-destructs. And this installment of the franchise has everything we’ve come to expect: exotic locales (including an opera house in Vienna), complicated missions, high-speed chases, underwater shenanigans, ridiculous stunts, beautiful women, handsome men, betrayals, double crosses, and of course, Tom Cruise running! The story begins with the IMF losing its standing after the head of the CIA (Alec Baldwin) proclaims that the covert group is outdated, too expensive, and out of control. Thus, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) – who’s in the midst of searching for The Syndicate, a rogue group of former spies now working as terrorists – is left isolated from the rest of his team (Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames). But no worries. Hunt is resourceful and will stop at nothing to find the leader of the rogue group. Along the way, he encounters a mysterious British spy, Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), and it’s unclear whether she’s working for The Syndicate, the good guys, or herself. The minute you hear that familiar theme music at the beginning of “Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation” and watch Tom Cruise’s first crazy stunt – hanging off the side of a plane as it takes off – you’re drawn right back into the excellent web of the classic “Mission Impossible” franchise, which began with the 1966 TV show starring Peter Graves and Greg Morris, among others. Spies and covert operations, it seems, never go out of style, and we can see the evolution with more modern titles like “The Americans” and “Homeland,” among hundreds of others. Sure, some might say that “Rogue Nation” is predictable, but that’s exactly why it’s going on my “Best Movies of 2015” list. It’s thrilling, charming, undeniably entertaining, and stays true to its roots. Sex/Nudity: Some flirting. A female character wears form-fitting clothes, including a bikini and fancy gown. Tom Cruise is shirtless in a few scenes. Violence/Gore: Lots of action throughout the film, though not much blood is shown. Includes gunfights, explosions, hand-to-hand fighting, car and motorcycle chases and crashes, bombs exploding, sniper shootings, a drowning and resuscitation, and many dangerous stunts, including Tom Cruise hanging off the side of a plane as it takes off.

The future of the Office Beer Bar & Grill, a North Jersey chain, can be seen in the transformation of its Morristown flagship from ho-hum to very happening. In restaurant circles this fall, much attention has been focused on South Street in Morristown, where the veteran New York restaurateur Chris Cannon has been transforming the grand 1918 Vail Mansion into the multilevel Jockey Hollow Bar & Kitchen, easily the most momentous opening of the year. Meanwhile, just three blocks up South Street, toward the Morristown Green, another transformation has taken place totally under the foodie radar. The fooderati pay scant attention to chain restaurants, usually for good reason. Yet in its own way, the transformation of the somewhat dowdy and outdated Office Beer Bar & Grill into the Office Tavern Grill is as heartening and ambitious as the rescue of the long-vacant Vail Mansion. What’s in a name change? In this case, a lot: a total redesign and expansion of the physical space, inside and out; a new logo and graphic design, from the sign outside to the look of the menu; and a new menu (click here to read our review). All of these significantly upgrade the dining experience, making it something the seven Office restaurants have never been: exciting. There’s an interesting tale in how this came to be. It seems that the first Office restaurant dates to at least the early ’70s in Cranford, eons ago in restaurant time. In the mid-’80s, the Jolly Trolley in Westfield was converted into the what was likely the second Office. Later, Charlie Brown’s bought the brand; then in 2011, when it emerged from bankruptcy, sold all seven to Villa Enterprises, headquartered on South Street in Morristown. The aim from the git-go, says Kathleen Janssen, marketing manager of Villa’s 40 North restaurant group, was to upgrade and reinvent the brand. They hired David Jackson, leader of a Rhode Island design group known for its work for hip casual chains like Au Bon Pain and stand alones like Burger Deluxe in Wayne. The project was expected to take a year, but took three, largely because the building—originally the Title Guaranty and Trust Company, older than the Vail Mansion—was structurally unsound. A new steel skeleton solved that problem and also made it possible to create a mezzanine running the length of the building. It’s lined with extra-wide, curving booths of a type originally devised for dinner theater. Indeed, you are watching a show, especially in the downstairs booths, which face the open kitchen and raw bar (both Office firsts). All the booths and banquettes are plushly upholstered with a cloth inspired by old New York subway-car destination rolls. “They wanted it to be more urban and attract younger professionals,” says Jackson. “So we went with factory imagery, but not the typical exposed ductwork and metal everywhere.” Wanting to appeal to women as much as men, the designers enriched the look with dark woods, upholstered chairs and a host of original paintings of iconic office objects like staplers, pencil sharpeners and old-fashioned manual typewriters. The paintings (by Rhode Island artists) are, in fact, one of the delights of the new space. Another is the design of the bar, with its upholstered stools and row of 40 craft-beer taps in front of a gleaming stainless-steel backsplash carved with industrial motifs. By moving the restrooms from the front to the back, the designers were able to install French doors that invitingly open almost the whole frontage to the broad sidewalk, where tables can be placed in nice weather. Expanding the building to the rear created spaces upstairs for larger groups and a quieter environment than downstairs. 40 North aims to convert the six remaining Office Beer Bars by 2017, with site specific touches for each. Next up is Summit, which will get a train motif because it faces the commuter rail station.
This year, avoid any nagging feelings of doubt with this step-by-step guide to prepare for large gatherings. Plan in advance. Even if you’re typically the last-minute type, the hectic holiday season is no time to wait until a few days ahead of the celebration to throw meals and more together. Instead, be sure to put together a guest list and send invites at least a few weeks out. Take inventory of supplies like silverware, plates, serving dishes and any accessories you’d like to feature at the table. Make an outline of the food each guest is bringing, or, if you’ll supply all the food, ensure there will be plenty for everyone. Roasted grapes: Heat oven to 350˚F. In a bowl, combine grapes, olive oil, salt, pepper and cinnamon stick. Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the grape mixture onto the baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven and pour into a bowl. Gastrique: In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, 5-7 minutes, until sugar starts to brown. Remove from heat and slowly add vinegar. Return to heat and stir until combined. Add cornstarch and water mixture; bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Pour gastrique mixture over roasted grapes and reserve. Turkey: Thaw turkey completely in your refrigerator 3-4 days or, keeping turkey in vacuum-sealed packaging, place in a sink full of cold water 5-7 hours, changing water approximately every 30 minutes. Heat oven to 350˚F. Remove the turkey from vacuum-sealed bag and place it in the bag provided; secure bag with a twist tie. Place bag in deep roasting pan. Using a fork, puncture 6-8 holes in top of bag. For extra browning or crispness, slit top of bag for final 20-30 minutes of roasting. Roast the turkey for 2 hours, 45 minutes to 3 hours. It is done when the internal temperature measured with a kitchen thermometer reaches 165˚F. Pour the roasted grape gastrique over the turkey and serve. The Old Course at St Andrews is the oldest golf course in the world. The Old Course is a public course over common land in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland and is held in trust by The St Andrews Links Trust under an act of Parliament. The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews (R&A) club house sits adjacent to the first tee and although it might be imagined that they own the course, they are but one of many clubs that have playing privileges on the course, along with the general public. There is no real understanding of when golf was first played over the grounds that now constitute the Old Course. The earliest written evidence is a license issued in 1552, which permitted the community to rear rabbits on the links and "play at golf, futball, schuteing ... with all other manner of pastimes." The first written record of golf being played at the Old Course dates to 1574, which would make the Old Course the fifth-oldest links golf site in Scotland. However, documents from the reign of King James IV show that he bought golf clubs at St Andrews in 1506, only four years after his first purchase at Perth, which may indicate that the Old Course is significantly older than the written evidence shows. The course evolved without the help of any true architect for many years. Originally, it was played over over the same set of fairways out and back to the same holes. As interest in the game increased, the whins were cut back to allow for two fairways. All the greens were also increased in size and two holes were cut. The Old Course had 12 holes, 10 of which were played both out and in, making a total of 22 holes. As play increased, the first four holes (all of which were played twice) were combined in 1764 to make two holes, leaving a total of 18 holes. Over time, this became the standard number of holes for courses all over the world. Around 1863, Old Tom Morris had the 1st green separated from the 17th green, producing the current 18-hole layout with seven double greens. One of the unique features of the Old Course are the huge double greens. Seven greens are shared by two holes each. Only the 1st, 9th, 17th and 18th holes have their own greens. Another unique feature is that the course can be played in either direction, clockwise or anti-clockwise. The general method of play today is anti-clockwise, although clockwise play has been permitted on one day each year for the past few years (in 2008, clockwise play was allowed on the Friday, Saturday and Monday of the first weekend in April). Originally, the course was reversed every week in order to let the grass recover better. One other unusual thing about the Old Course is that it is closed on Sundays to let the course rest. On some Sundays, the course turns into a park for all the townspeople who come out to stroll, picnic and otherwise enjoy the grounds.

Golf is recorded as having been played here in the early 16th century. In 1890, the 14th Earl of Dalhousie, who owned the land, sold the links to the local authority. It had no funds to acquire the property and public fundraising was undertaken and donated to the council. The original course was of ten holes, crossing and recrossing the Barry Burn. The opening of the coastal railway from Dundee to Arbroath in 1838 brought an influx of golfers from as far afield as Edinburgh, anxious to tackle the ancient links. This led to a complete restructuring of the course, extended in 1867 by Old Tom Morris to the eighteen holes which had meanwhile become standard. Two additional courses have since been added — the Burnside Course and the shorter though equally testing Buddon Links. Carnoustie first played host to The Open Championship in 1931, after modifications to the course by James Braid in 1926. The winner then was Tommy Armour, from Edinburgh. Later Open winners at Carnoustie include Henry Cotton of England in 1937, Ben Hogan of the USA in 1953, Gary Player of South Africa in 1968, Tom Watson of the USA in 1975, Paul Lawrie of Scotland in 1999 and Pádraig Harrington of Ireland in 2007. The last three championships were all won in playoffs. The termCarnoustie Effect dates from the 1999 Open, when the world's best players, many of whom were reared on manicured and relatively windless courses, were frustrated by the unexpected difficulties of the Carnoustie links, which was compounded by the weather. One much-fancied young favourite, a 19-year-old Sergio Garcia of Spain, went straight from the course to his mother's arms in tears after shooting 89 and 83 in the first two rounds. The Carnoustie effect is defined as "that degree of mental and psychic shock experienced on collision with reality by those whose expectations are founded on false assumptions." This being a psychological term, it can of course apply to disillusionment in any area of activity, not just in golf. The 1999 Open Championship is best remembered for the epic collapse of French golfer Jean Van de Velde, who needed only a double-bogey six on the 72nd hole to win the Open—and proceeded to shoot a triple-bogey seven, tying Paul Lawrie and 1997 champion Justin Leonard at 290, at six over par. Lawrie won the playoff and the championship (and Van de Velde won a place in sports infamy).

At the end of a contest, the scores are even and the competitor who reached the result earlier in the course of the competition is deemed the winner. In the of a tie in the classification of teams, the team having the largest number of first places is the winner. After two days in Austin I was told they couldn't get the top to leak. Sure enough the first day back in Tucson: Again it was coming through the light. I had hoped that with their knowledge of top construction that they would be able to track down the issue- but "We can't get it to leak" was their final answer. I took off the light fixture itself and realized that there were several sizes of screws used. For starters that's weird- obviously someone has replaced screws at one time or another. But there are 3 long ones and one short, but only one of the long ones was stained with leak on the light (although another one came out with black crud). The light itself made it obvious there was a problem. I know the SMB guys took off the cover because it was cleaned when they were looking for the leak. Once removed it was obvious this has been an ongoing problem. There are several positioning stains, the wood panel is all rotted and black and multiple screw holes for each screw. How could you see this and think there is not an ongoing problem? Now it looks like my choices are 1) take the top apart completely 2) go back to Austin (28 hrs RT) or 3) go to Fresno (22 hrs RT) The van has been in the dealership 6 times in two months and had a small host of other problems. In addition the rear of the top is Rhino lined over about 3 square feet. I assumed this was an SMB Factory mod for no slip climbing on the roof, but as Paul (SMB Texas) pointed out, it was probably an attempt at addressing the leak. I'm not sure how the top is put together but it looks like the whole inside needs to come out, as it could be leaking anywhere and settling in the rear over the light. Not a job I want to tackle, plus since the board is rotted inside I can't exactly the ceiling back. To get a better idea of possible entry points, what penetrations do you have on the penthouse and the forward factory metal portion of the roof, as well as any penetrations on the van body sides within 1'-2' of the roofline (e.g. awning mounting, exterior lights)? The third brake light is my "most likely" candidate, but all of the SMB factory mounts are over the same interior board, and that board supports the canvas. It could be the J-hook (center rear) although I would think the manifestation would come through the J-hook instead of the rear light. I'm going to take out the 3rd brake light next to see what I can see. I'm waiting for Paul's response and I'm likely taking it to Fresno because I'd like the whole roof board replaced. We'll see what they say (and if they have time) after I hear from Paul. With any roof leak (including houses), it can be very hard to pinpoint the source of the leak. It's not always where the water stain manifests itself. The water could be finding the low point after entering somewhere else. It won't be the 3rd brakelight. That item is mounted outside of the canvas; and therefore outside of the inside top. Could a long screw have punctured the fiberglass? It would only take a small hole. Get a ladder and crawl up there and look around. If you find a small hole, go to a good auto parts store or marine store and get some fiberglass patch and rough up the area and seal the hole. Don't worry too much about the appearance, cause nobody will see it. That you have been to a place with enough rain to get a leak. It's 100 degrees F and dry as a bone here in the Northern Rockies, and I'm beginning to regret not getting Starcool airconditioning. Summer averages 106º here in Tucson and it's too hot to put stuff in the van the day before a trip- It's also so hot that I feel guilty about parking the SMB in the sun all day. I've pined for the StarCool as well, but then again I'm not a real big fan of shore power. The first two leaks were from washing and a light sprinkle, neither large amounts of water on the top. There was only one more leak over the next few months (despite some travels and some rain) and Austin couldn't get it to leak despite spraying and sheeting it with water for long periods. In addition I drove back through downpours all across Texas, and came back to a storm here in Tucson that ripped gutters off with the volume of water coming down. No leaks. Then the first day I was parked, it was hot and then rained in the afternoon and it leaked. Yesterday I took the light out and it rained, and no leak. Could water have already been in the fixture when you washed it? From your photos it appears the light has been repositioned. Perhaps because it pulled loose. Is the ceiling material actually damp?If you haven't been able to produce a leak could this be a problem with condensation? Moist air will condense on a metal fixture, sometimes enough to puddle in the light cover. You've seen how much condensation you get inside an unventilated tent when it's cold outdide. A couple of warm breathing bodies(prior owners) inside the SMB on cold days and nights might produce enough moisture to cause your problem.....just a thought. Before I drove 22 hrs. to SMB West I'd seal all existing holes with silcone sealer especially around the wires coming through the ceiling. I'd reposition the light slightly and drill new holes (smaller than the screws). Put a little silcone sealer on each screw before you set it. 3. Part of the sales pitch and brand identity is that "our tops are guarenteed not to leak". How much they seemed to stand behind their preowned quality was a real selling factor- now that my roof is more or less a collander (the problem continues to get worse even without use), I want to hold them to it. So, something major is up with my roof and I want to get it fixed right. I called Peter this morning and told him the latest, and I think he finally got the gravity of the problem. Instead of just a quick check and seal he's agreed they will need to take the whole roof down, if piece by piece. So despite needing to spend two full days in Fresno I'm very happy because I want this fixed right. I've had it parked on a slight driver down slope and had varing stains and dried water on the paper towels, trash bag and bucket I'd set up under the leak. Since then I moved the van to a flatter location, all of 10 feet away. I noticed no leaking residue in my catch with the van flat- this is all with the light out, since the light just serves to trap and divert the water. The PH bed has also been completely out, so it doesn't get wet and wasn't in the way. In preparation for my Fresno Trip I went to put the bed back in and on raising the top a stream of water poured out the screw holes from the light. It was only like an 1/8 or 1/4 cup, but it wasn't raining and it made a steady stream for over a full second. I believe this confirms that there is water getting trapped between the roof and the celing, which was my incomplete theory on why there wasn't just an obvious leak in one place. Secondly I noticed there are now stains on the center section of the roof where water has dripped down and dried on my countertop. It's confounding too that all the water comes out dirty- I know the rain is clean, I know the top is clean, but the water ends up leaving brownish stains- another indication of being trapped between the layers. Anyway, the PO did so much wonky stuff to the van (like 1/2 the fridge door hardware is missing and one of the hinges is just as mis-sized bolt) that I have no idea what is going on up in, on or arround the celing. So I'm glad I finally got Fresno to recognize the magnitude of the problem, and I finally feel like I can go there and actually get it fixed right. i hate to say this, the time spent/wasted on fixing/locating leak is about the same the cost of new roof to begin with, Saw on CL at a local dealer. Haven't seen any of these on the road yet, looks kinda cool. 4 captain's chairs inside is nice. $116,000 is not nice. It does seem a little pricey. But that is just the asking price at a dealer. Bet it ends up selling for five figures.
Biotechnology and Bioinformatics have the ability to combine biological sciences and innovative technologies to create or evolve novel processes or novel products beneficial for human welfare. Until few years ago academicians trained in traditional disciplines of biological sciences were specializing in biotechnology and thus meeting the demands of both academia and industry. However, tremendous advancements in biology over the past half century- from Watson and Crick’s elucidation of the structure of DNA to today’s astonishing, rapid progress in the field of synthetic biology- the design, engineering, construction and production of synthetic cell factories, a need has been felt that educational programmes be launched to educate and train youth in biotechnology and bioinformatics. The need of initiating educational programmes in biotechnology and bioinformatics can be gauged from the fact that the global biotech industry is pegged at $54 billion and is growing currently 17 percent annually. In contrast, India’s biotech industry is worth $1.4 billion which is around 2 percent of the global revenues. However, the Indian biotech market is growing at a scorching pace of 36.5 percent per annum which is one of the highest in the world today. India ranks among the top 10 biotech hubs of the world and can join the elite club of top 5 biotech hubs, should it achieve the $5 billion mark by 2020. India is expected to become a significant global player by 2020. Thus a “Highly Skilled Manpower is the Need of Hour”. However, barring a handful of colleges, the biotech educational programmes are run in India by institutions without adequate and appropriate infrastructure facilities. We at the Sambalpur University have come up with state of the art infrastructure with a vision to produce technologists appropriately trained in biotechnology and bioinformatics, not merely degree holders. The M.Sc Biotechnology and M.Sc Bioinformatics were offering in a self financing mode in the School of Life Sciences sine 2002 and 2006, respectively. In reference to Syndicate resolution (No. 111, dated 23.09.2016) and Office Order (No. 9285/Estt-III, dated 07.12.2016), The Department of Biotechnology & Bioinformatics in Sambalpur University started functioning from December, 2016 as an Autonomous Department under self financing mode with a mandate of closing the gap existing between curriculum and the market demand. The Department has honoured us as one of the best education institutions in the country for doing outstanding research and education due to its strong R&D program, up-to-date educational curricula, modern laboratory infrastructure and highly qualified faculty. To produce Biotechnology and Bioinformatics professionals with leadership quality in technology, creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. 3: To provide advanced theoretical and practical training in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics with a particular specialization to produce high quality professionals. The Department imparts education to equip students with modern skills compatible to the needs of industry, academia, government and non-government organizations. Keeping in view the interdisciplinary nature of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, the curricula have been designed with broad knowledge base, encompassing courses from fundamental sciences (biology, mathematics, physics), computer science & engineering, humanities, in addition to core courses in biotechnology and bioinformatics. The curriculum has been specially designed to include the prescribed syllabus of CSIR, GATE, BCIL, BINC and ASRB to make the students globally competitive. Project-based learning is an integral part of all curricular programmes. Following the completion of M.Sc in Biotechnology and M.Sc in Bioinformatics the students will have attained: An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering and computing tools necessary for engineering practice. The students with degree in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics will have an edge in starting a career in Biotechnology, Bioinformatics or Pharmaceutical industry for having advanced courses in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics as well as enough exposure to project work. The rigorous projects work enables them to work more of thinkers and planners who have the experience, competence and vision to identify a problem and design the required approach to solve it. The M.Sc graduates are highly preferred by the industries because of their maturity and competence in technical skills. The Department is actively involved in research by having the distinction of running externally funded R & D projects from various Govt. of India agencies such as the Department of Biotechnology, Department of Science & Technology, DRDO, ICMR and UGC. To form a nucleus for promoting excellent quality of research work in related fields, the Department desiring to club the expertise, resources and laboratory facilities available by signing MOU with VSS Institute of Medical Sciences & Research, Pollution control Board, ICZMP and with other leading institutes to provide a platform for broad based collaboration.

SAN PIETRO ISLAND, Italy - If crystal waters, white sand beaches, and fresh coastal cuisine are your cup of tea, then paradise awaits in southwest Sardinia on the beautiful San Pietro Island. Home to stunning landscapes and untouched natural beauty, the Italian island is an oasis of hidden excellence, perfect for paddle board exploration. Sup Adventures, the local stand up paddle and surf association and school, offers daily SUP and surf trips, tours, lessons, and rentals on the island. Based in Caletta Beach, the Sup Adventures instructors take eager paddlers around the stunning island, visiting some of the most popular landmarks, including Pigeon’s Cave and the Column. Explore some of the reasons why San Pietro Island should definitely be on your SUP bucket list from Diana of Sup Adventures. San Pietro Island is a little island in southwest Sardinia, characterized by a really particular story. People have lived her for only 275 years, and they are not hailing from Sardinia but rather from Genova, a fisherman and sailor’s town in northwest Italy. These people moved from Genova to the Tunisian island of Tabarka to fish red coral, but they were made prisoners by the Arabics and became their slaves. When they finally escaped, King Carlo Emanuele di Savoia gave them this little island to live on and continue fishing red coral. That's why on the island you can find completely different traditions from the rest of Sardinia. Here they eat mainly fish, they have typical dishes of Liguria as “pesto” and “focaccia” and also “couscous” coming from the arabic period. And if you hear someone speaking some strange language, it's the local dialect, still the same from 300 years ago, that was spoken in Liguria region from their ancestors. This, along with the wild and unique nature, the wonderful white beaches, and the stunning high cliffs, make this place a special pearl in the mediterranean. Still undiscovered and authentic. San Pietro is the last place in the mediterranean where they still fish red tuna in the ancient arabic way - the “Mattanza” method. This way consists of pulling the nets, where the tunas are trapped, by hand and lifting them up onto the boat. Tunas can weigh from 200 to 400 kg, so it’s quite a sight to see! If you pass by between May and the end of June, you can see the nets and snorkel in them, watching beautiful tunas and also turtles and many other fishes that will be set free by the local scuba divers before the tunas are fished. To complete the panorama, on the island there's a rich birdwatching tradition, especially of the Eleonorae Falcon. It is a species that migrates from Madagascar to breed every year on the north shore coasts of the island. There are also pink flamingos leaving all year long in the salt fields of the island, and many other kind of birds as well. Caletta Beach is the biggest beach on the island and also the most famous. From Caletta, you can start paddling and reach a wonderful cave with a hole on top called “Pigeons' Cave” in just 30 minutes. You can only access it by paddleboard so it's a real privilege! The sea is open on the west side and it goes all the way to Tunisia and Baleari islands without anything between you and them. Pretty impressive! It’s also the only beach where you can watch the sunset. Sup Adventures Base 1. The symbol of San Pietro Island is this wonderful stack called “The Column” that is resisting year after year the strength of the winter seas. Starting from Bobba Beach, reaching the site is a 30 minute paddle roundtrip, but if you wish to paddle on for a little more, you can continue to “Geniò” Beach. This wonderful sight is full of red clay coasts, little sandy caves, and a little island in the center of the bay. You may see people covering their bodies with the clay and, after it dries, washing it off in the sea hoping to get silky and clean skin! Sup Adventures base 2. The northwest shore of the island is completely different from the rest of the coasts. Rocks are light grey or white, with a shape similar to that of an elephant's skin, high and breathtaking! They are exposed to the strong winter mistral winds that shaped them in the ages and now they are the perfect home for Eleonorae Falcons to breed. The Italian lighthouse, further to the west, is very important for boats coming from Spain, France, and the Baleari islands. You can start paddling from “Cala Fico”, a very narrow bay with white rocks where, during full moon nights, the light of the moon reflects and everything is illuminated! It's a bit of a paddle to Caletta Beach, about 2.5 hours, but you will get the most wild and wonderful experience paddling. We suggest to go always with a guide as currents and wind can change quickly and you need to know the place well. The northeast shore is rich of caves and high cliffs. You can start paddling from a small bay called “Calalunga” and paddle 1.5 hours to a huge cave, which really feels like a giant gorge, called “Punta delle oche” (Goose point). Along the way, if you have a guide, they will take you to hidden little caves and a natural sea water pool that is very difficult to see from the outside because it's hidden in the rocks. While the north shore has high walls, all of the southern coast is full of little white sand beaches and is where most of the people go for sunbathing and swimming. The beauty and wild nature of these beaches can always surprise you even if you've been living here for a long time! The best season to come here is Summer, from May to the end of September, however it can also be really warm and calm in October and November. The best paddling sessions are in the early morning and at sunset time, when the wind is low. In spring, the water is still a bit chilly, but not too cold. It has wonderful blue shades and the sun is warm and pleasurable, but from June to October the water warms up and sun shines brightly. It is rare to have rain during this period, but there is a possibility for rain in May. August is very busy and prices are really high so we suggest avoiding that month. San Pietro Island is really small so you'll find most of the paddlers at Sup Adventures' bases in Caletta and Bobba beach. If you get out of the island you will find other paddlers along Sardinia coast in Oristano, Bosa, Cagliari, Villasimius and Olbia, all wonderful locations around Sardinian coasts where you will definitely get a wonderful paddling experience! To get to San Pietro Island you'll have to take a flight to Cagliari Airport. From there, you’ll need to catch one of the private or common busses that will take you from the airport to Portoscuso, the departing ferries port for Carloforte (the only town on San Pietro Island). The bus ride takes approximately 50 minutes and the ferries leave every hour and take 40 minutes to get to the island. Sup Adventures ASD is a Stand Up Paddle and Surf association and school located in the wonderful San Pietro’s Island. With our base at Caletta Beach, by Le dune Beach Bar, our qualified staff and ISA (International Surf Association) instructors organize daily SUP and Surf activities like Trips, Tours, Lessons and Board Rentals.

Manager of all the activities at Sup Adventures, she’ll be running from one base to the other for lessons, tours or workout classes.
Hello everyone, this thread is something about my progress in soccer spirits. You are welcome to make some good recomendations. Good luck, and thx for help. Actual information in this post and post #40 Uh, Lucid is actually a TERRIBLE choice for beginners (lol). Unless you're gonna completely give up the AI portion of PvP and stick with Arena. But that sucks, right? People know you as a worthless Bronzie. ;P Edit: I'm a Lucid user stuck in Platinum and almost at floor 50 in CoD (which is bs)...unless you wanna be a weirdo like me... Anyways, if you're just starting out, Ravian isn't bad in both PvP and PvE. Although there is a barrier for PvE side on Ravian, it's pretty sufficient for a beginner. And then you have Light side strikers like Hiro (optimal beginner choice imo) and Uriel (hard to raise). Latios is just a personal preference, and so is Vitos to a certain degree. If you already have a Metatron, look for any key Light/Dark players (Isillia especially, optimal gk) and obviously the legends within those elements. I'd recommend you scout any of the highly graded players in the grade book. I think there's a couple lying around in the Guides & Tips section. -Mikael[Penetrator] ( is a Must have since he provides ur Backline a nice Buff and he is a good Spirit Generator) -Malccolm[Penetrator] (Very Strong Penetrator when he gets all of his Passives. He easily destroys lots of Spirits) -Anael[Stealer] ( Due to Superplay a very strong Stealer.Has a nice Self Buff with her EE and a good Totem) -Hiro[Striker] ( Very good Early-Mid Game Player,easy to build.He is kinda Mediocre at the Late Game , needs Pen power) kirin is not really the "i hit and you are deleted" type, for someone who build utility striker... you need a reliable mid and back... which is not recommended in early stage of the game... but i guarantee you... with EE and 3spu ST he's the most annoying striker especially if build up with a fast and annoying neraizel and kiki but this is WW related build... so lets discard the idea... well since scout is a bit option friendly... i pray you good luck, coz a striker can change almost all your set up... so choose the path you want either Hiro or ravian, or go rainbow Sharr or Beatrice for now before you decide to go light/dark... try drawing more cards... and scout Mikael, Silla and dupes of Isillia.... I agree with Kaizel. Draws cards first until level 50. After that, let's see what is the best elements that you have. One of the enjoyment in SS is imagine what is my ideal team based on current cards in your possession. Save a lot of GP (1600 GP, 3200 GP, or even 4800 GP) for future slots. Maybe you got lucky an scout some good/legendary cards. Isillia is great gk so you can definitely EE her and same with Meta, they are both really good player to invet in~~ well since you have utility cards ready at your disposal... just EE metatron/Isillia... it wont matter who's first... since your striker will be doing the attack on the goalie... I always save those pigs and bunny because I really dun know what my team is going to be and is the bunny/pig going be wasted~~ But since you have Meta which is a great legend to use resource on, and Isillia is great with resource as well~~ Since one player can only use the pig once, if you choose meta this time next time isillia or this time isillia and next time meta~~ Oohhh... I forgot yet))) This account was created in 2014, but I have not played it. When I came to him recently , I received 5* card (Kirin), some crystals (about 500) by 1 year anniversary. I did 1 crystal draw at beginning and received Evylin + Hildegard + Lucius. Isillia (on 1 day), Rudiel (day 20) from daily quest. At level 38 did 5 draws and got Lilith, Zibroi, Anael. Kevin from scout. Meta lvl30 gift. Avnore from season quest (Galaxy conqueror). Nari + Niarose from 14days newbie event. And Beatrice refbonus Mikael, Malcom,Milky way, Black Ivy, Jheet(new jheet is works well for me) are players u should get to replace those non LightDark Pretty much what he said; almost all of the players i see on your are very good quality and u might want to work around eles matches to improve them.
This Big Brother Center In Saudi Arabia is a really bad news for everyone in the world, especially in the context of the ongoing Trump Administration collapse and the imminent war between Iran and Israel (see the next post). It is especially intimidating how quickly it emerged on such a short notice (30 days) and completely unannounced! This report should send chills down everybody's spine. While what Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology (GCFCEI) is or will soon become is unknown, it smacks of a Big Brother with global reach and unlimited powers, i.e.the New World Order. Did Trump, who has already been swallowed by the Deep State set the center up for the Global elites? It seems to be so, since as J.R. Nyquist writes (below), Trump already lost all semblance of control over his administration and the USA. Therefore, the decision of what constitutes "extremist ideology" shall now be left in the hands of an educated globalist elite team of what they call "scholars", who are now armed with this huge computer network in Saudi Arabia which is connected to every conceivable electronic device, potable, desktop or otherwise on Earth. Novel and innovative software tools capable of monitoring, classifying and analyzing any extremist content within just 6 seconds of its online broadcast, and with more than 80% accuracy levels, giving a whole new perspective and opening new frontiers in the fight against digital extremism. And that means total world-wide mind control. Remember, fighting terrorism has always been an excuse to limit our constitutional rights and on top of that Saudi Arabia is ironically the world's leading terrorism exporter! As Nyquist writes below, both the American constitution and the US itself ceased to exist long time ago and there are 30,000 guillotines stored in FEMA camps ready at to go to work at any time for those who do not comply with NWO (below). There is even a ICD9 medical code in place that hospitals can used for billing the government for this gruesome service. “Today, we proudly announce the establishment of the Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology to be the guiding light and global hub for international efforts against the prime enemy of humanity; that is, extremism.” — ETIDAL.org brochure that introduced the new Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology In my previous blog about the Manchester suicide bombing, I chose to leave out a few data points for the sake of brevity. One of those data points was the fact that the name of the accused bomber was “Salman.” That data point was being reserved for this blog. Let’s remember that the Manchester event happened immediately after President Trump’s visit to Riyadh. Obviously, whenever we hear the name “Salman” we can’t help but think of King Salman of the House of Saud. The mass media treated us to an array of travel photos and news articles that set the social media tongues wagging. One of these related to what the internet quickly dubbed as the bizarre “Trump orb” ritual that was carried out by Egypt’s President el-Sisi, King Salman, and President Trump on May 21, 2017, just one day before the Manchester bombing. As happens so often, the attention-strained Internet crowd leapt to a snap judgment without digging any further. Let it be known that there was no “ritual” with this glowing lamp. This device was simply something like a “plasma globe” (and again I smirk at the homage paid to Nikola Tesla) which, upon contact with human electrical energy, activated a multimedia screen visible to the hundreds of onlookers at the freshly launched “Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology” in Riyadh. However, I will give the Internet crowd credit for one thing: you are right to be horrified at what you saw but not for the reason that you might have imagined. Did any of us even hear about this project? I know I didn’t. One of the reasons why President Trump was in Riyadh this past month was to participate in the inauguration of a huge data center whose mission is to fight terrorism. This quick 3-minute video below is a time-lapse presentation of how this ocular temple-looking facility was hastily built. And methinks this is not the work of Arabian camel herders. If you needed to get something of this scale built in a hurry, to whom would you turn? The Chinese? The Germans? Somebody who is the “cream of the crop” of both? I am still trying to discover details about who exactly is responsible for the creation of this Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology, a center that seems to be associated with the website Etidal.org [linked here]. While most of social media is slobbering over the image of the “lit globe,” the rest of us might want to zoom out from that photo and take in the full scene. Say hello to literally hundreds of data terminals and a Big Brother type of network. (The video is fast-forwarded to the 17-minute marker.) According to the 10-page PDF brochure that you can download yourself there, the stated purpose of this Center does now appear to reveal one very large reason for why Robert Mercer, the Big Data king of Cambridge Analytica, was Trump’s single largest campaign donor: MISSION — To actively and pro-actively combat, expose, and refute extremist ideology, in cooperation with governments and organizations concerned. Now you might be wondering, as did I, about who exactly gets to decide what constitutes “extremist ideology”? The brochure provided the answer: The Center also has a Higher Committee for Ideology, which comprises a number of prominent scholars as well as global intellectuals and opinion shapers. The committee is entrusted with reviewing the ideology-related goals of the Center, proposing ideology programs, and setting the mechanisms for achieving the ideology goals. “The Center is already armed with state-of-the-art innovative software tools and technologies with the most stringent standards of accuracy, reliability, and efficiency required to achieve their goals…. Unequivocal excellence in Ideology Research through a distinguished team of multidisciplinary researchers competent in using big data analytical tools as well as possessing the geopolitical, social, and historical expertise necessary to provide in-depth analyses and actionable insights on different extremist groups. Technology that works in all different languages and dialects common in the extremist discourse. Advanced analytical models are under development to identify digital media platforms locations that will shed light on extremist hotbeds and covert areas for recruitment activities. Do you feel comforted knowing that the decision of what constitutes “extremist ideology” shall now be left in the hands of an educated elite team of scholars who have been carefully armed with that Big Data network we have warned about all year, a network now plugged into those little devices you carry in your purse, your pocket, your living room, oh and pretty much everywhere you drive and walk? As I mentioned above, I’m still trying to figure out who exactly was responsible for concocting this Extremist Center and building it so fast. I really can’t imagine that this was all the idea of the Saudi’s alone or even of the Saudi’s plus the Israelis. To add a further dimension to these sudden developments in Riyadh, we might want to keep in mind comments made by Dr. Joseph P. Farrell in his weekly blog last week. Dr. Farrell referred to statements being made the MSM that Trump didn’t just negotiate a +$300,000,000,000 arms sale to Saudi Arabia but that this agreement also includes the transfer of production and assembly of those arms to Saudi Arabia. Dr. Farrell has speculated for many years that “what the real plan is to create an internal conflict in that region of the world that will lead to its demise…. The Islamic world is being set up for a fall.” Indeed, our own Mr. W. and Robert David Steele have both expressed the opinion that the world is being driven down a path towards another catastrophic war. Albert Pike said there’d be days like this. Let’s review what we have here: a Big Data Temple of Surveillance has suddenly appeared in Riyadh that is equipped not only with detecting “unapproved” ideas floating in the global mindstream but of actually broadcasting a re-direct of that idea within 6 seconds. (Hmmm, makes me wonder if somebody has discovered how to engineer a perpetual “Mandela Effect”?) In addition to the Big Data capabilities, Riyadh has now been handed a quarter-trillion dollar arms deal that allows for Saudi Arabia to be used as the new location of the manufacture of those weapons. (Hmmm, sounds like somebody doesn’t think the traditional U.S. manufacturing sites will still be operating soon?) If all that wasn’t enough, the President with goddess Melania, walking independently alongside, made a visit to Jerusalem when all the stars lined up just right.

ATOS provides a platform for live webcasting of sport events such as Masters Tennis. Webcasting of sport events is far more automated and dynamic than in the past and currently end-user feedback and interaction in real time are an integral part of the system. End-users (i.e. spectators) want to consume the contents in a usable, fast and reliable system that runs on any device or platform (e.g. desktop computer through their browser, mobile devices through a specific app). This makes critical the dependency of the ATOS webcasting system on IT technologies that are continuously evolving, such as mobile and tablets platforms, and background technologies (e.g. Adobe Flash). This dependency has to be incorporated into the webcasting service and its companion player application evolution. Another important feature of webcasting services is to support dynamic adaptation to fulfil end-users expectations. One common way to achieve this adaptation is through Content Delivery Networks (CDN). Although CDNs enable to scale the webcasting service there are two major problems: first, ATOS cannot rely on one CDN (even the most important CDNs cannot guarantee 100% availability); second, worldwide webcasting service has to deal with geographical issues (e.g. CDNs with better infrastructure in different geographical areas, CDNs not allowed to operate in particular countries). These issues raise the complexity of the service adaptation, especially if we consider how critic is adaptation for this kind of systems. For example, in order to reduce the overload of webcasting services generated by the large numbers of end-users, the player application has to include as much logics as possible. This type of architecture (heavy client-side) enables to scale the demand and relies on the CDNs for the worldwide distribution. ATOS needs to provide a system able to adapt to an unknown amount of users, and to different size events, and at reasonable costs. Of course, the evolution and adaptation of the system is not solely interest of the end-user, from the content producers and distributors perspective, dynamic adaptation of webcasting services is highly demanded, while from the development perspective feedback from end-users is especially relevant in periodic events which represents an important input to the system evolution (e.g. taking into account what was popular or unpopular, or what was more/less effective). Apart from the evolution and adaptation, the real added value of a webcasting service resides in the personalization of the experience. Different user preferences, needs and constraints need to be considered (e.g. end-user bandwidth, device, location, language, etc.). Challenges. ATOS would like to improve QoE of the webcasting services offered through their platform, by empowering the platform itself. This means enabling a more dynamic system evolution life-cycle; adding new adaptability capabilities to the platform without damaging its reliability; and providing personalized content and service to the end-users. Improve the webcasting platform evolution. Provided that end-users are an active participant of the software evolution process, ATOS will be able to produce a more competitive set of services for webcasting sport events, and also the final product will be more suitable and appealing for the end-users since it will take into account their suggestions for the webcasting platform. Reach higher-level of adaptability. Considering both the end-user feedback and the monitored context information will bring new possibilities to react in runtime in order to adapt the webcasting system to a variable amount of users, resolve availability problems, and in general increase the reliability of the system. Enable webcasting service dynamic personalization. SUPERSEDE tools will provide fundamental analysis of information that could be used to produce a more advanced webcasting system able to provide a personalized experience for each particular user. Altogether, evolution, adaptation, and personalization, will increase substantially users’ QoE.

The specification for SuDS EcoPath paving in Alwalton PE7 3 provides a flexible surface which is ideal for rural environments and recreational areas. This stone flooring specification is made up of three main components which are epoxy resin, stone aggregate and rubber granules. These three materials are combined to create a mixture that is then laid out onto the chosen area. Areas like public footpaths, children’s playgrounds and garden patios often have permeable paving installed to create a decorative appearance which is more cost effective than other resin bound stone options. Due to the gaps between the stones and rubber granules, the EcoPath surfacing is porous and allows water to soak through it quickly, making it SuDS compliant. You may also be interested to find out about EcoDrives - if so make sure to look at this page http://www.sustainable-urban-drainage-systems.co.uk/driveway/suds-ecodrive/cambridgeshire/alwalton/ This is one of the main benefits of having this kind of surface installed nearby housing developments as it helps to prevent flooding and water runoff. By having this kind of flexible and permeable flooring applied for outdoor footpaths in parks and wooded areas, you can avoid these areas becoming muddy and slippery in wet weather. The design may be installed to most existing surfaces including compacted soil which helps to prevent damage to any existing plant life or trees. It’s important for modern paving surfaces to comply with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems, particularly in housing areas, so the porous Eco Path surfacing meets all of these requirements. The stone and rubber flooring specification can be adapted to suit any shape of walkway or recreational area as it’s flexible and relatively simple to install. Once the initial installation in Alwalton PE7 3 is complete, eco path paving provides a non-slip quality which is great for pedestrian traffic on public pathways. Sudscape is another pathways surfacing you might like to have installed. For more information on this surface, please click here http://www.sustainable-urban-drainage-systems.co.uk/pathway/sudscape-path/cambridgeshire/alwalton/ The flooring is also easy to maintain as it just requires occasional brushing to make sure the pores don’t get blocked up with dirt and leaves. However it is important to keep the surface clean otherwise it will lose its porosity and start to hold water during wet conditions. If you are thinking about having an EcoPath installed near me, please do not hesitate to enquire today. The contact form provided on this page will allow you to contact our team regarding the installation of SuDS EcoPath paving in Alwalton PE7 3 and we will be able to offer you a free quotation for the work along with more information.
December Ivy Kids time! We haven’t gotten a chance to review this box for a couple months, so I was happy when they offered to send me December’s box a couple weeks ago. The theme is absolutely adorable. Subscriptions are $38.95/month, or less with multi-month commitments. — You can save 20% on your first box with coupon code “IVY20“! Past kits are also available in their online shop for 10% off with coupon code “IVYWINTER” (good thru 2/29/16). “Penguin and Pinecone” by Salina Yoon – I think this has got to be the cutest book Ivy Kids has featured! It’s a sweet story about a penguin who finds a pinecone whom he befriends and must take back to the forest with the other pinecones. When he goes back to find him again years later, pinecone looks a LOT different. 😉 Every box includes a personalized item for your child/children. This month it was a little penguin-shaped notepad. Cute! Story Retelling – The first activity included a set of props for your child to use in retelling the story of “Penguin and Pinecone”. There was a little tree, some orange felt to make a scarf, a wooden sled with a red “rope” to pull it, a pinecone, and a plush penguin. Penguin Walk – My kiddos love the alphabet and anything involving letters, so they were all about this game. All you do is place the penguin wind-up toy on the letter board and see where he stops. You child then calls out that letter and the sounds it makes. You can also ask them to say a word that begins with that letter. I gotta say, for being 3 1/2, my girls did crazy good with associating words. I must be doing something right. 😉 Decorating Your Pinecone – This was a fun activity that simply involved decorating pinecones. Plenty of materials were provided including paint, brushes, glitter glue, regular glue, and multi-color mini pom-poms. Pinecone Observation and Experimentation – A pinecone fact sheet was provided for your child to learn more about them and how they grow. Using the included pinecone, your child could fill out an observation sheet with details they notice about it (its shape, color, texture, etc.). Pinecone Experiment: What Happens When a Pinecone Gets Wet? – We didn’t do this experiment yet, but after reading the sheet I totally need to do it. I honestly had no idea that pinecones close up when they get wet! Is that common knowledge? I mean, I’ve seen closed pinecones before but I guess I just figured they were a different type… Wow. Mind blown. Paper Bag Penguin – This activity included everything you need to make a paper bag penguin. Even white pom-poms for the belly and orange paper to trace your child’s hands for its feet. I love how different they look even though both girls used the same materials. I also love how it looks like they’re both side-eying one another. Ha! Feed the Penguin – Once the penguin bag is complete, you can use the little colored fish to feed him. Just roll the dice and whichever number comes up is the amount of fish the penguin gets to eat. Snowflake Mobile – The girls aren’t too skilled at lacing yet (and there was a LOT involved here), so they worked on punching out the holes on the snowflakes while I laced them. I only ended up doing 3, since the girls were antsy to move onto other activities. I don’t blame ’em. 😉 Five in a Row Penguin Bingo – We had fun with this one. It’s basically played like bingo, but with a more limited amount of numbers which are repeated throughout the board. When it’s your turn, you roll the dice and whatever number comes up is what you stamp on your board. Once you get five stamps in a row, you win! Planting a Pine Tree – Using the included pot, soil pellet, and loblolly seeds, your child can grown their own pine tree! Neat. Penguin’s Journey – There’s always a cute board game in every Ivy Kids box. This time it involves moving your penguin along the path to the forest to visit pinecone, collecting colorful fish on the way. December’s Ivy Kids box was definitely one of our favorites yet! The book/theme were great and my girls had lots of fun with all the activities. We tried to fit in as many as we could in one evening for review purposes, but there’s still quite a few activities left. You could easily stretch this box out for a couple weekends or more. Since so many of them can be reused/played with again, there’s really no limit to how long it’ll keep little ones busy. 🙂 If you’re interested in signing up for Ivy Kids, you can save 20% on your first box just by using the promo code “IVY20” at checkout. And don’t forget, past kits (including this one) are also available in their online shop for 10% off with coupon code “IVYWINTER” (good thru 2/29/16). LOVED this box! So many great activities, games, and crafts -- all centered around an adorable book. One of our favorites to date!

Logbook Loans use your vehicle as collateral which means you might still be eligible for a loan as it reduced the risk to a logbook lender. However, it’s important to remember though that as part of responsible lending you will need to prove to the lender that you can cover the repayments. If you’ve got any questions about Oakington logbook loans then you may well find the answer in the list of FAQs we have compiled below. If not then please get in touch via our form and we’ll happily advise further. The theory of borrowing against your car is an easy one… use your car’s V5 title document as security to borrow against the value of your car. You can lend anything up to 80% of the car’s value up to a maximum of £50,000. The logbook loan application process is simple, and this type of v5 loan is popular among Oakington residents as they are often accessible to those with poor credit scores (Due to CCJ’s) as the vehicle is used as security. Once your loan is repaid, you receive your V5 document back and carry on driving the car as normal. One requirement of taking out Oakington V5 Loans is that you can prove to the lender that you can afford the repayments. It’s part of a responsible lending approach, this helps to ensure you do not default on any loan payments. Therefore even if you are unemployed in Oakington, but can still prove you can afford the repayments then you may be eligible for a loan. Complete the online logbook loan form to see if you are eligible. A HPI check will clearly show a loan present as a ’Bill of Sale Agreement’. A rule was introduced that requires all Oakington V5 lenders to register any current loans against a vehicle with companies such as HPI. If for any reason you find that there is already a loan against your vehicle which was not visible on a HPI chekc then you are entitled to a reimbursement of up to £30,000 under the HPI guarantee. You’ll need to provide several forms of documentation before your loan can be approved. The most important of these are your valid photo identification and your V5 documents, or logbook, as these will prove that you are the rightful owner of the car you want to use as security. You should also provide a current MOT, proof of insurance, and a copy of your most recent utility bill (in your name) to prove your Oakington residency. You will also need to prove your able to afford the repayments. i.e. with payslips or bank statements that show your income. Taking out a loan when you’ve bad credit score is tough for many Oakington customers. Because of the bad credit score, major loan lenders like banks are less likely to approve your loan application. Oakington V5 lenders might be able to provide a more feasible option despite the bad credit. Although you will still have to experience a credit check, V5 lenders can be more understanding to bad credit scores; as responsible Oakington V5 lenders, they will have to assess the loan applicant’s ability to repay the loan, and their vehicle’s value to ensure that the loan can be guaranteed. If your circumstances mean that you have been refused a loan elsewhere then applying for this type of V5 loan could help you borrow the money you need. By using your car, van or motorbike as security, V5 loans are more feasible to Oakington residents who have less-than-perfect credit scores, or simply need to release some quick money from the value of their car. If you own your car and can afford the repayments then a V5 loan may be a good idea. Those who are self employed or have a bad credit history in Oakington can benefit from the V5 loans; they will need to prove that they are able to make the repayments. As part of responsible lending, it’s important for Oakington V5 loan applicants to prove that they have the ability to make prompt repayments to avoid losing possession of their car. Since different people have different situations, get in contact today to discuss your particular needs. You could get a loan of £250 – £50,000, with approval on the same day!

Purists might insist that a wooden match or a cedar spill can be used to light a premium cigar. However, any source of flame will impart a taste to the cigar if the proper method is not observed. A steady source of wide flame is required so that one’s attention can be focused on the lighting process. The IM Corona windproof lighter provides the perfect flame for as long as you require. To achieve the perfect light with your IM Corona lighter, follow these steps: Pick up your lighter. Notice the comfortable heft in your hand. Take a moment to admire the case and reflect on its personal meaning to you. Consider that you hold in your hand one of the pinnacles of American design and craftsmanship. This ritual will relax you in preparation for the enjoyment of your cigar. Now, open the lighter lid, allowing the windproof chimney to breathe for several seconds. You will smell the fuel; this is your assurance that trapped fumes are being dissipated. Spin the flint wheel to light the wick. Give the flame three or four seconds to mature. This pause burns off residual and steadies the flame. You are now ready to light your cigar. Bring the cigar to your lips. As the ring burns toward the centre, blow out lightly through the cigar. This will dissipate any fumes from the lighting material. Using this method will guarantee a great-tasting smoke. With its steady, reliable flame, a IM Corona windproof lighter gives you the leisure to light it right the first time, every time. Carefully knock off the ash. Slowly rotate the end of the cigar in the tip of the flame of your IM Corona lighter until all the accumulated tars have burned off. This will take about eight to ten seconds. Blow through, then draw, on your cigar. It should smoke like a fresh one. Before a premium cigar can be smoked, the closed end must be opened. The range of tools for this purpose is large, and includes single- and double-edged guillotines (such as Davidoff’s Zino Cutter) wedge cutters (also known as cat’s eye cutters), knives, and “round” piercers or picks. Every tool has its advocates and its detractors, but each can be effective if used properly. For example, an improperly pierced cigar will “plug” resulting in a hard draw and harsh flavor. A poorly cut cigar can burn too hot or even fall apart. To use a piercer or pick, simply push the sharp end into the closed end of your cigar. Rotate the tool slightly and withdraw. For cutting tools, a steady hand and a sharp blade are imperative to success. A good rule of thumb is to cut 1/16″ from the head of the cigar. This is sufficient to give you a good draw, without the risk of loosening the wrapper. A specialized tool like the Davidoff Round Cutter can make achieving a clean, perfect cut very simple. This instrument will cut cigars of all ring gauges due to its three, different sized blades. Simply push the cigar gently onto the blade of choice and rotate. A sharp cutter will prevent tearing and ruining your cigar. The classic and elegant Davidoff Cigar Scissors pictures are always a fine choice. Some cigar fanciers swear by the oldest method – using one’s teeth. We will say only that this method requires great finesse, not only in biting off precisely the correct amount, but also in disposing of the end. Smoking a fine cigar should be a total sensory experience. One can argue for one’s favorite taste, but taste is an individual matter, and we take no sides here. However, one can enhance the preferred taste by careful attention to the aesthetics of the cigar. Sound: Listen….the subdued crackle as you light your cigar, the soft exhalation as you release the smoke…these are the sounds of satisfaction. Taste: The raison d’être of cigar smoking. Roll the smoke around your mouth. Let the rich bouquet of varied flavors bloom. Pause to enjoy the finish. And congratulate yourself on your great taste. Cigars are a natural product like food or wine and require appropriate storage conditions. The ideal environment for cigar storage is 65 – 75°F (18 – 24°C) with a humidity level of 70 – 73%, protected from direct sunlight and salt air. Fluctuations of temperature and humidity should be kept to a minimum. A good humidor is essential for the proper storage of premium cigars. Preserving the optimum moisture balance in the cigar keeps it at the peak of aroma and flavor. Although some recommend storing cigars in plastic bags, the boxes they came in, or even the refrigerator, these are make-shift solutions at best. The serious cigar fancier understands that improper storage impairs the quality of a fine cigar. Just as you would take care to store fine wines in climate-controlled conditions, so too should you do for you cigars. With the wide selection of humidors that are available, choosing one is no simple task. A few guidelines may be helpful: Look for quality construction. A good humidor should have an accurate hygrometer, a reliable humidification system, and a closefitting lid. An unfinished, natural cedar lining is a great plus. Select the appropriate size. Your humidor should hold a one or two month supply at most. More than that, and the constant opening and closing of the humidor over a longer period term may have a deleterious effect. If you have a larger cigar reserve, you may want to invest in a cabinet or have your tobacconist store them for you in his humidified room. Look for details: Trays and dividers make rotating your stock easier, as well as separating different cigars from each other. A drawer to hold your cutter and lighter can be helpful. Placement of your humidor is also important. The ambient temperature should remain in the optimum range of 65 – 75°F (18 – 24°C). The humidor should not be placed near radiators or other heat sources, ventilators, or direct sunlight. Monitor the humidity level every other day for several weeks to establish the reliability of your humidifier and a refill schedule. Use only distilled water to fill your humidifier to avoid precipitated mineral dust from settling on your cigars. As in any situation where personal taste is a factor, there are no rules for selecting a cigar. The wide variety of styles, brands and sizes make delineating a set of rules an impossible task. However, there are a few very general guiding principles which may be of some help. Ring gauge: As apprentices learn their craft on smaller cigars, the larger ones tend to be the best constructed. In addition, their thicker girth allows more ligero tobacco to be used in the filler, yielding a richer, fuller taste. It is suggested that those new to the pleasures of cigar smoking emulate the cigar-rolling apprentices and start with smaller cigars. A panatela in a laro wrapper is a good beginner’s choice. By starting slowly, the novice smoker can grow into a deeper appreciation of the artistry of a fine cigar. Most connoisseurs have a particular favorite, but variety provides spice to each of life’s occasions. A fine cigar provides a satisfying finish to a fine meal, and matching smoke to cuisine enriches the experience. A light lunch would call for a light cigar; a rich dinner settles well as a Churchill or double corona is savored. A similar consideration impels the smoker to choose lighter cigars earlier in the day, saving the bigger, fuller- bodied choice for the relaxation of an evening. As we said, personal taste should be the smoker’s guide. Personal taste can only be developed through experience. Fortunately, this is a very enjoyable process. The three basic attributes of any cigar are color, shape, and size. Although wrapper colors are fairly well defined, size and shape descriptions may vary from brand to brand. The following should be taken as a general guide only; consult your tobacconist for more specific information. Claro claro (also called candela): light green leaved that are heat-cured to fix the chlorophyll; slightly sweet. Maduro: rich, dark brown. Rich strong flavor, mild aroma, and a slightly sweet taste are produced through maturation processes. Although there are no standard sizes for each shape, there is a basic measurement standard. Length always precedes girth, and is read in either metric or U.S. If metric, dimensions are in millimeters; is U.S., length is inches, and the girth is 64ths of an inch. Thus a 6 x 42 corona is 6″ long and 42/64″ thick.

A mint track with the most insane top woods ever with the fast steep open bottom section,good weather, better company, and to top it all off a sweet edit and some good photos... Keep an eye on the new MBUK and WO for a few of the better shots from the race, will try get a few more up soon though... I am up in Bristol shooting this Thurday then off to the next few world cups etc on Monday, and want to try and get a big blog post on my gear etc Shot this one for ,certini.co.uk , A bike shop down in Saltash that supports both riders in the vid.. When you live on the south Cornwall coast racing downhill mountain biking isn't the obvious choice... For Jay Williamson and Adam Lock its all part of it and just something they have to deal with. Watch the video to hear a bit about why they love living where they do, why they don't and see them smash there local tracks to bits... Right been a pretty good few weeks, busy with work, with just enough free time to ride my bike in between. The perfect mix ? Anyway, started off with me doing a few days work down in MK for Adventure bikes and Easton Mountain Products, still deep in the editing for those jobs, then it was off to NASS... Now for those that don't know NASS is an extreme sports/drum and bass festival down in the southwest that me and my mates have been to the last 2-3 years ( I forget ) Its lots of raving, bit of hung over riding, few photos and a lot of really shit food...but great fun. I have just finished sorting out this years photos which where for WideOpen, go check a few of them out on their site now: This shot was with the 80-200, at 80mm trying to just the flowing mounds leading you down through the shot from the rider...All natural light This one was shot just before sun set hence the sick light, again the 80-200 but this time more around the 115mm mark... This was on the 50mm , near wideopen, bit of music, think its Tinne Tempah but to be perfectly honest I cant really remember it...so yeah, that's that! And I will leave you with a shot which I tweeted a few days ago of a bit of a peek of some of the recent Saracen bikes related tear sheets that I'm pretty stoked about... Next up on the list of things to do is a shoot for Certini bike shop of one of their riders and mate of mine Jay Williamson, so that should be good, and then team WideOpen is hitting up all my local trails for a bit of a weekend road trip so expect more photos and half cut ramblings from that, then its off round Europe for a month for the Nat champs, 2 WCs, a week in between then the Wchamps then BDS finals... GO GO GO! This last week went off to Wales, the Black Mountain Cycle Center to be more exact to shoot a short and simple shredit with Wideopenmags new pinner and test pilot Joel Anderson. The brief was simple, a 2-3 min edit, doesn't need to be super polished just good solid riding and an intro to both Joel and the venue. Shot in 5 hours with the new Sony FS5. This was the new cameras first real outing, and first finished product shot entirely on the camera. It did just as well as you would expect. After talking with a few other Sony users I went for Slog2 with Cinema colour space as Slog3 was just a bit too noisy to trust 100% on a paying job and the end result is no worse off for it at all. Being both a photographer and filmer, I also got a few still photos on the shoot to go up alongside the full article you can find here: http://wideopenmag.co.uk/2015/12/joel-shreds-the-black-mountains-cycle-centre If you follow Aspect Media on social media or have looked at our website you may have seen the fact we work closely with camera bag manufacturer Lowpro. We help to test their products and give them good honest feed back after giving the products real world abuse, and we don't go easy on gear doing what we do. As official production company in charge covering the Enduro World Series its literally our job description to take lots of camera gear out in to remote mountainous locations, no matter the weather and often by riding or hiking bikes to get there. We need gear we can trust, trust not to break when we are 2 hours ride from the nearest road. Before the new Whistler 450AW came along we where using multiple different bags from Lowepro depending on the specific job ( Vertex, Flipside, Photosport, Pro Trekker etc ) and having to pack extra bits and bobs on the outside of packs and while all this worked well we noticed certain things that needed adding to make one bag that was perfect for what we did day to day. This new bag sorts all our thoughts and worries and they have hit the BB out of the bike park with this one. First off here is a very short video of Chris and myself testing the bag and proving you can ride with it on: Main features of the bag we love, as both still and video shooters who have to both hike and ride bikes with the bag on are: Waist and Sternum straps and back padding are comfy and breathe well even climbing hills in 35 degrees Way up above Whistler in BC while filming the EWS. Bag fully loaded with the days gear and tripod etc and making easy work of the full on trail. Whistlers famous Tusk in the back ground. Image by Jeremie Reuiller Packed ready for the day. In here we have 2 bodies, the Canon 5D3 and a Panasonic GH4, 5 canon lens's including the 70-200mm 2.8, 24-105mm, 15mm,50mm and 11-16mm, Flash gun with 2 pocket wizards, radio mics and a rode video mic pro, then in the front pocket all the batteries, cards, cables, ND filter case, cloths, blowers and in the top pocket food, jacket, tools etc Heading back down the hill with the steady cam strapped on the back and carrying the tripod for speed of getting down the hill, if I was on the bike there is loads of room on there for it. - Photo by Gary Perkin And again, not small but at the same time as streamlined and slim as it can be to get a body in sideways and not have any issues with pack depth. We found that with a full face helmet riding jumps or really really steep stuff you had to loosen off the shoulder straps slightly, but the great waist and sternum strap keep it from moving too much, and then it doesn't hit your helmet. Easy! In the half face XC lid though you can have the thing as high up on your back and tight and comfy as you can and it never hit me in the head in a whole two weeks of riding the bike park and world enduros. First bag that's ever not tried to make me do front flips. Chilling while shooting some B roll in the USA.The bag its leaning on is our drone bag to give you some idea of size, small enough to not be a pain to carry or travel with but large enough to swallow all your gear. Another shot proving its not us just saying it, but its a bag you really can get up the mountain ( and down again ) with ease. So there you have it. A camera bag that does it all. If you bike, hike, ski, board or even ride a horse etc and need to carry a good amount of camera gear is pretty damn perfect. Not something I say lightly, or without testing. We didn't want to post anything online till we had chance to really put the bag through its paces and now with over two weeks of solid riding and shooting under its belt, I can say 110% that I have found my dream camera bag. If you guys and girls want to see or know anything else about the bag ( or Aspect as a whole ) leave a comment below and I will edit this post and add it in. Short and sweet post exclusive to this blog thanks to Fox not being ready to release this video on all the main sites just yet. They said we could post it up on here though so enjoy! The other week I headed out to an amazing MX1 track in Italy just outside Milan to shoot a new video for Fox Head Europe. It wasn't moto though, Fox/Redbull rider Yannick had been invited to go out and help make a bike park on the site. A few super hard, hot days shooting for this but it came out well. Check out the video below: Here are a few photos rad photographer Stephane Cande who was out shooting stills all week got of me working away. Excuse the wild tee shirts. I took out the carbon jib to get some slightly more dynamic shots. Amazing this fits in my suitcase along with my tripod, steady cam, LED light panel and all my clothes, shoes, chargers etc. It was a tough shoot on a tight schedule made even harder thanks to more time than we had planned getting the course running, and it being too hot to ride between 11am and 4pm. So three days shooting riding turned into two evenings. About 6 hours total. Post was turned around super fast as well so the bike park could show the film on big screens at the MX1 race the following weekend to us shooting this. I worked with a good friend of mine and motion graphics wizard Ed Vosper as well to add in some nice simple text animations and a few little touches here and there. Few weeks in the office editing some other jobs now before Aspect is back off on the EWS circus. Flat out and loving it at the moment. Every few months or so I update our Stills portfolio of work with new images and the spring 2015 update has just rolled out. Please find it below: Various new shots from the last few months and a great new layout done by James Webber who designs Wideopenmag. We have had a pretty full on few months here at Aspect and it isnt showing any signs of slowing down, not complaining one bit! Will get a post up very soon on all of it. Now while getting yet another cover might not be a huge deal for some photographers, for me I'm quietly proud of this one. I have had shots in various magazines for years, loads of articles etc but a cover shot of a big printed magazine has eluded me, that is until now. A few months back Boris from MTB Rider Germany said that while I was shooting for an article for the mag with Olly Wilkins, if we got a good cover worthy shot he would put it forward for consideration. Me and Olly pretty much heard that and from then on all we really had in our minds was "lets kill it on one shot and we have been promised a cover pretty much!?" haha The jump is hidden away in the Surrey hills in the SE of England. Built by Bernard Kerr among a few others its been in various photo and video shoots for a while now, but Olly had an idea that if he hit the main jumps take off, onto a side bank and make it a hip he could get some pretty wild shapes. He wanted the final shot to have him pretty much hanging off the side of the bike, hanny style. That was the only plan, turn up, have a go and see what happened. So the three shots here ( above and either side ) where the first angle we started shooting. Tried a few lens's from the 24-105, 50mm and 70-200 , tried natural light and some off camera flash. After that first angle being a bit normal, I broke out the fish eye and started to try that out. Again using the same flash set up to help pick Olly out of the back ground and to give it some contrast. On the left is the first try with the 15mm 2.8 Canon Fisheye, Good but I needed to move round to the left more so we got his face in, and also closer to the jump so he was higher. On the right is the second go, much more like it and Ollys position on the bike was what we had been trying to get, I just needed to tweak exposure and nail the composition. Third time Olly hit the jump with the fish eye on and this is what we got. Finally the image we both had in our head when we turned up an hour earlier. What was also really great on the final cover is how they didn't butcher the shot, they left it very much as it was. Cheers to Olly for hitting the stinking hip about 50 times and nailing the Moto as hell shape, honestly couldn't of shot with a better rider and Boris from MTBrider Germany for running it as a cover. Here's to the next one!

KDKA (AM) – KDKA is a Class A radio station, owned and operated by CBS Radio and licensed to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Its studios are located at the combined CBS Radio Pittsburgh facility in the Foster Plaza on Holiday Drive in Green Tree, the stations programming is also carried over KDKA-FMs 93.7 HD2 digital subchannel. Its nighttime signal covers much of eastern North America, during the war, Westinghouse received government contracts to develop radio transmitters and receivers for military use. They used recently developed vacuum tube equipment that was capable of audio communication, previous spark gap transmitters could only be used to transmit the dots-and-dashes of Morse code. At the time of the entry of the United States into World War I in April 1917, with the end of the war, the government contracts were canceled. However, Westinghouse moved aggressively to establish itself as a national and international provider of radio communication, the effort to establish Westinghouses radio industry presence was led by company vice president H. P. Davis. However, because of the competitive advantage RCA had in international and marine communications, in September 1920, a newspaper report noted that a new high-power station, to operate under a special or commercial license, is being installed at the Westinghouse plant in East Pittsburgh. This Limited Commercial grant was consistent with the practice being followed at this time. At this time, radio stations in the United States were regulated by the Department of Commerces Bureau of Navigation, beginning with the introduction of licensing in late 1912, the standard practice had been to assign call letters starting with W to radio stations in the eastern United States. Although the original policy was restored a few later, KDKA was permitted to keep its non-standard call sign. Prior to World War I, Frank Conrad had operated an experimental radiotelegraph station, following the war, the U. S. government again allowed the operation of civilian radio stations, and Conrad revived 8XK, which was located in a detached two-story garage at his residence. He used the knowledge gained during the period to upgrade his station to begin making audio transmissions. On October 17,1919 Conrad made the first of what would become a series of entertainment broadcasts. H. P. Davis held a meeting with his radio cabinet. On August 31,1920, the Detroit News, whose Detroit News Radiophone began making daily broadcasts on August 20, had broadcast local primary election results. Westinghouses preparations included the construction of a shack and antenna system on the roof of the nine story K Building at the East Pittsburgh Works in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania. Frank Conrad had originally planned to broadcast the results over 8XK, in cooperation with the American Radio Relay League. He and Donald G. Little had primary responsibility for constructing a 100 watt vacuum-tube transmitter, a telephoned temporary authorization was received to operate under the call sign of 8ZZ 3. KDKA-TV – KDKA-TV, channel 2, is a CBS owned-and-operated television station located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. The station is owned by the CBS Television Stations subsidiary of CBS Corporation, the two stations share studios located at the Gateway Center in downtown Pittsburgh, while KDKA-TVs transmitter is located in the Perry North neighborhood of Pittsburgh. On cable, KDKA is carried on Comcast channels 6 and 802, the furthest south KDKA-TV is carried on cable is in Beverly, West Virginia. The station went on the air on January 11,1949, as WDTV on channel 3, it was owned and operated by the DuMont Television Network. To mark the occasion, a television special aired that day from 8,30 to 11 p. m. ET on WDTV. The remainder of the featured live segments from DuMont, CBS, NBC, and ABC with Arthur Godfrey, Milton Berle, DuMont host Ted Steele. The station also represented a milestone in the industry, providing the first network that included Pittsburgh and 13 other cities from Boston to St. Louis. WDTV was one of the last stations to receive a permit before the Federal Communications Commission-imposed four-year freeze on new television station licenses. WDTV moved its facilities to channel 2 on November 23,1952, DuMonts network of stations on coaxial cable stretched from Boston to St. Louis. These stations were linked together via AT&Ts coaxial cable feed with the sign-on of WDTV allowing the network to broadcast live programming to all the stations at the same time, Stations not yet connected to the coaxial cable received kinescope recordings via physical delivery. Until the end of the freeze, WDTVs only competition came in the form of distant signals from stations in Johnstown, Altoona, Wheeling, West Virginia, however, Pittsburgh saw two UHF stations launch during 1953 – ABC affiliate WENS-TV, and WKJF-TV, an independent station. At the time, UHF stations could not be viewed without the aid of an expensive, set-top converter, and the picture quality was marginal at best with one. UHF stations in the area faced a problem because Pittsburgh is located in a somewhat rugged dissected plateau. These factors played a role in the short-lived existences of both WKJF and WENS, although Pittsburgh was the sixth largest market in the country, the other VHF stations in town were slow to develop. This was because the cities in the Upper Ohio Valley are so close together that they must share the VHF band. WDTV had a de facto monopoly on Pittsburgh television, like its sister stations WABD and WTTG, it was far stronger than the DuMont network as a whole. According to network general manager Ted Bergmann, WDTV brought in $4 million a year, owning the only readily viewable station in such a large market gave DuMont considerable leverage in getting its programs cleared in large markets where it did not have an affiliate. Also, NBC affiliates from Johnstown and Wheeling were able to be received in Pittsburgh, the Wheeling/Steubenville TV market, despite its very close proximity to Pittsburgh and overlapping signals, remains a separate market by FCC standards today 4. Three Rivers Stadium – Three Rivers Stadium was a multi-purpose stadium located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from 1970 to 2000. It was home to the Pittsburgh Pirates of Major League Baseball, Built as a replacement for Forbes Field, which opened in 1909, the US$55 million multi-purpose facility was designed to maximize efficiency. Ground was broken in April 1968 and an oft behind-schedule construction plan lasted for 29 months, the stadium opened on July 16,1970 when the Pirates played their first game. In the 1971 World Series, Three Rivers Stadium hosted the first World Series game played at night, the following year the stadium was the site of the Immaculate Reception. The final game in the stadium was won by the Steelers on December 16,2000, Three Rivers Stadium also hosted the Pittsburgh Maulers of the United States Football League and the University of Pittsburgh Panthers football team for a single season each. After its closing, Three Rivers Stadium was imploded in 2001, a proposal for a new sports stadium in Pittsburgh was first made in 1948, however, plans did not attract much attention until the late 1950s. The Pittsburgh Pirates played their games at Forbes Field, which opened in 1909. The Pittsburgh Steelers, who had moved from Forbes Field to Pitt Stadium in 1964, were supporters of the project. For their part, according to longtime Pirates announcer Bob Prince, in 1958, the Pirates sold Forbes to the University of Pittsburgh for $2 million. The university wanted the land for expanded graduate facilities, as part of the deal, the university leased Forbes back to the Pirates until a replacement could be built. An early design of the stadium included plans to situate the stadium atop a bridge across the Monongahela River and it was to call for a 70,000 seat stadium with hotels, marina and even 100 lane bowling alley. Plans of the Stadium over the Monongahela were eventually not pursued, a design was presented in 1958 which featured an open center field design—through which fans could view Pittsburghs Golden Triangle. A site on the citys Northside was approved on August 10,1958, due to availability and parking space. The same site had hosted Exposition Park, which the Pirates had left in 1909, the stadium was located in a hard-to-access portion of downtown, making it hard in later years to get in before games and leave after games. Political debate continued over the North Side Sports Stadium and the project was often behind schedule, arguments were made by commissioner Dr. William McCelland that the Pirates and Steelers should fund a higher percentage of the $33 million project. Due to lack of support, however, the arguments faded, ground for Three Rivers Stadium was broken on April 25,1968. Due to the Steelers suggestions, the design was changed to enclose center field. Construction continued, though it became plagued with problems such as thieves stealing materials from the building site, in November 1969, Arthur Gratz asked the city for an additional $3 million, which was granted 5. Jim Leyland – James Richard Jim Leyland is a retired Major League Baseball manager. He currently serves as an assistant to the Detroit Tigers and is the manager of the United States national baseball team. He led the Florida Marlins to a World Series championship in 1997, with the Tigers victory in the 2006 American League Championship Series, Leyland became the seventh manager in history to win pennants in both the National and American Leagues.

Leyland helped develop such All-Stars as Barry Bonds, Jay Bell, Tim Wakefield, Andy Van Slyke, under Leyland, the Pirates went to the National League Championship Series in three straight seasons. The Pirates lost all three of those NLCS, however, with the two going the full seven games against the Atlanta Braves. Although he has moved on in his career, Leyland still keeps his home in the Pittsburgh suburb of Mt. Lebanon, both attended Bishop Canevin High School. One member of Leylands coaching staff while with the Pirates, Terry Collins, in 1997, Leyland was hired by Wayne Huizenga to manage the Florida Marlins and promptly led them to the franchises first championship. The Marlins, in only their fifth year of existence, became the fastest expansion franchise to win a World Series, the Arizona Diamondbacks surpassed the Marlins when they won the World Series in 2001, their fourth season. In the offseason, Huizenga dismantled the team in what known as the fire sale. After Game 7, when asked about rumors that he might retire if Huizenga sold the franchise, Leyland quipped, Leyland indeed remained as the manager, but resigned after the 1998 season, when the Marlins went 54–108. At his press conference, Leyland remarked that he thought his job was to win championships, Leyland was subsequently hired by the Colorado Rockies for the 1999 season, walking away from the final two years of his contract. When he left managing after the 1999 season, he became a Pittsburgh-based scout for the St. Louis Cardinals and it marked the first time Leyland managed in the American League. In the 2006 regular season, Leyland guided the Tigers to a 95–67 record, after the 2006 season ended, Leyland was recognized with the Manager of the Year award for the third time in his career.

Leyland also won The Sporting News Manager of the Year Award for the American League in 2006, in 2011, Leyland led the Tigers to another 95–67 regular season record, winning the American League Central Division 7. 1969 Major League Baseball season – The 1969 Major League Baseball season was celebrated as the 100th anniversary of professional baseball, honoring the first professional touring baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings. It was the first season of what is now called the Divisional Era, the winners of each division would compete against each other in a League Championship Series, then best-of-five, to determine the pennant winners that would face each other in the World Series. In a year marked by the expansion of the decade, the New York Mets. East Division with a league-best 100–62 record, and sweeping the N. L, West Division Champion Atlanta Braves in three games in the first National League Championship Series, the Miracle Mets became the first expansion team to win a pennant. East Division Champion Orioles, holders of the best record in baseball, West Division Champion Minnesota Twins in three games in the first American League Championship Series. The upstart Mets upset the heavily favored Orioles and won the World Series title in five games, in an effort to counteract a trend of low-scoring games, Major League Baseball adopted two measures during the Baseball Winter Meetings held in December 1968. The strike zone was reduced to the area over home plate between the armpits and the top of the knees of a batter. Also, the height of the mound was reduced from 15 inches to 10 inches. A save became an official MLB statistic to reward relief pitchers who preserve a lead while finishing a game, MLB called for a four-team expansion to take place in 1971 at the 1967 Winter Meetings, the first expansion since 1962. However, there was a complication, influential U. S, the Leagues agreed and moved expansion up to 1969, with the AL putting one of its new franchises in Kansas City. Ewing Kauffman won the bidding for that franchise, naming it the Kansas City Royals, the other AL team was awarded to Seattle. A consortium led by Dewey Soriano and William Daley won the bidding for the Seattle franchise, and named it the Seattle Pilots, a salute to the harbor pilots of the Puget Sound maritime industry. In the NL, one franchise was awarded to San Diego, California, arnholdt Smith, former owner of the AAA Pacific Coast Leagues San Diego Padres, won the bidding for the San Diego franchise, also naming it the Padres. Charles Bronfman, owner of Seagram, won the bidding for the Montreal franchise, naming them the Expos and this was the last NL expansion until the 1993 season. As part of the 1969 expansion, each league was to be split into two divisions of six each, with each league holding a best-of-five League Championship Series to decide the pennant. The AL was divided purely along geographic lines, but when it came to assign divisions in the NL and this alignment also addressed concerns that putting the leagues three strongest clubs—St. Louis, San Francisco, and the Cubs—in the west would result in divisional unequity, the Padres and Expos each finished with 110 losses and at the bottom of their respective divisions. The Royals did better, finishing 69–93 and in fourth in the AL West, the legal fallout of the battle would lead eventually to the expansion for the 1977 season 8.

National League – Both leagues currently have 15 teams. The two league champions of 1903 arranged to compete against each other in the inaugural World Series, after the 1904 champions failed to reach a similar agreement, the two leagues formalized the World Series as an arrangement between the leagues. National League teams have won 48 of the 112 World Series contested from 1903 to 2016, the 2016 National League champions are the Chicago Cubs. By 1875, the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players was dangerously weak, additionally, Hulbert had a problem—five of his star players were threatened with expulsion from the NAPBBP because Hulbert had signed them to his club using what were considered questionable means. Hulbert had a vested interest in creating his own league. After recruiting St. Louis privately, four western clubs met in Louisville, Kentucky, Boston Red Stockings, the dominant team in the N. A. Hartford Dark Blues from the N. A. Mutual of New York from the N. A. St. Louis Brown Stockings from the N. A, the only strong club from 1875 excluded in 1876 was a second one in Philadelphia, often called the White Stockings or Phillies. The first game in National League history was played on April 22,1876, at Philadelphias Jefferson Street Grounds, 25th & Jefferson, the new leagues authority was tested after the first season. The National League operated with six clubs during 1877 and 1878, over the next several years, various teams joined and left the struggling league. By 1880, six of the eight members had folded. The two remaining original NL franchises, Boston and Chicago, remain in operation today as the Atlanta Braves, in 1883 the New York Gothams and Philadelphia Phillies began National League play. Both teams remain in the NL today, the Phillies in their original city, the NL encountered its first strong rival organization when the American Association began play in 1882. The A. A. played in cities where the NL did not have teams, offered Sunday games and alcoholic beverages in locales where permitted, the National League and the American Association participated in a version of the World Series seven times during their ten-year coexistence. These contests were less organized than the modern Series, lasting as few as three games and as many as fifteen, with two Series ending in disputed ties, the NL won four times and the A. A. only once, in 1886. Starting with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1887, the National League began to raid the American Association for franchises to replace NL teams that folded and this undercut the stability of the A. A. Other new leagues that rose to compete with the National League were the Union Association, the Union Association was established in 1884 and folded after playing only one season, its league champion St. Louis Maroons joining the NL. The NL suffered many defections of star players to the Players League, the Brooklyn, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and New York franchises of the NL absorbed their Players League counterparts. The labor strife of 1890 hastened the downfall of the American Association, after the 1891 season, the A. A. disbanded and merged with the NL, which became known legally for the next decade as the National League and American Association 10.

Dak Prescott replaced Russell, throwing for 89 yards on seven of 17 passing. LaDarius Perkins rushed for 50 yards on 16 carries and caught three passes for 52 yards for the Bulldogs (0-1), which had only 333 yards of offense and had trouble keeping drives going, finishing two of 16 on third down conversions. Oklahoma State's defense also had three sacks and intercepted two Mississippi State passes. Mississippi State marched down the field in 57 yards on 13 plays taking over six minutes off the clock, but the Bulldogs were only able to get Devon Bell's 40-yard field goal to take a 3-0 lead. Russell was 5 of 7 on the drive for 58 yards. Oklahoma State's offense gained only 67 yards with less than four minutes remaining in the first half before Walsh got going. Walsh worked the quarterback keeper three times for gains of 46 yards down the left sideline, 12 yards down the left sideline to the MSU 3 and capping it off with a 3-yard touchdown run to give the Cowboys a 7-3 lead with 2:16 left in the half. The Bulldogs looked to respond before the half as Jameon Lewis weaved the kickoff return 66 yards to the OSU 34, but a holding penalty and a sack by Tyler Johnson stopped the drive. OSU continued the offensive momentum in the second half, driving 75 yards in 11 plays to take a 14-3 lead on a Smith 1-yard run with 10:41 left in the third. Smith tacked on a 20-yard touchdown run to begin the fourth quarter to up the lead to 21-3. 4 11:42 ASU Tollette George 25-yard touchdown pass from John Gibbs, Jr., Haiden McCraney kick good MSU 44–7 Dak Prescott threw for 174 yards and two touchdowns in his first career start and Mississippi State breezed past Alcorn State 51-7. Mississippi State (1-1) didn't use several regular starters, including quarterback Tyler Russell, who suffered a concussion in the Bulldogs' season-opening loss to Oklahoma State. It didn't matter. The Bulldogs led 21-0 by early in the second quarter and 37-0 by halftime. It was the most points in the first half for the program since 1996. Mississippi State's Ashton Shumpert rushed for 98 yards and two touchdowns. Nick Griffin added 54 yards on the ground and a touchdown. Alcorn State (1-1), which plays in the Football Championship Subdivision, managed just two first downs in the first three quarters. The Braves scored their only touchdown early in the fourth quarter on a 25-yard pass from John Gibbs Jr. to Tollete George. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound Prescott showed his poise early in the first quarter by converting two straight passes on 4th and 9 for a first down. The first was an 18-yard strike to Joe Morrow, but it was disallowed after officials ruled Alcorn State had called timeout. A sold out Davis Wade Stadium groaned, but Prescott came right back and hit Malcolm Johnson for a 23-yard gain. Two plays later, Prescott burst through the line for an 11-yard touchdown run and a 7-0 lead. The rout was just beginning. Mississippi State outgained Alcorn State 308-30 in total yards on the way to the huge halftime lead. Prescott completed 12 of 19 passes while also rushing for 20 yards and a touchdown. He didn't play in the second half. The second half started just as lopsided. Brandon Holloway ran the kickoff back 95 yards to Alcorn's 1-yard line, and Mississippi State scored two plays later for a 44-0 lead with 13:57 left in the third quarter. Alcorn State's George finished with four catches for 80 yards and the Braves' only touchdown. Gibbs was 11 of 25 passing for 135 yards, one touchdown and one interception. 1 4:54 AU Quan Bray 76-yard touchdown pass from Nick Marshall, Brandon Fulse pass from Ryan White AU 11–0 Nick Marshall hit C.J. Uzomah for an 11-yard touchdown with 10 seconds left to lift Auburn to a 24-20 victory over Mississippi State on Saturday night, ending the Tigers' 10-game Southeastern Conference losing streak. Marshall led the Tigers (3-0, 1-0 SEC) down the field with big running and passing plays in easily his best game. The junior-college transfer completed his first five passes for 55 yards in leading Auburn 88 yards over the final 1:56. He then ran 11 yards on 3rd-and-10 before lofting the decisive throw to the right corner of the end zone. The play was reviewed and instant replay officials ruled that the 6-foot-4 tight end, Uzomah, was pushed out of bounds, enabling him to come back. Subbing for an injured Tyler Russell for a second straight game, quarterback Dak Prescottran for 133 yards and two touchdowns and passed for 213 for Mississippi State (1-2, 0-1). Russell sustained a concussion in the opener against Oklahoma State. With the game on the line, Marshall suddenly looked like anything but a guy who's had six weeks to learn an offense. He hit freshman Marcus Davis on three straight passes to cover 29 yards, then had a 17-yarder to Jaylon Denson. He also salvaged short gains with a couple of runs before heading out of bounds. Tre Mason's 3-yard run pushed it to the 11 before Auburn called timeout with 15 seconds left. Marshall was 23-of-34 passing for 339 yards and two touchdowns but was intercepted twice. He passed for just 246 yards and two TDs in his first two games as starter combined. Marshall showed a knack for turning potential miscues into big plays. He dropped the shotgun snap, collected it on the bounce and hit a wide-open Quan Bray downfield for a 76-yard touchdown on the opening drive. Ryan White then hit Brandon Fulse for the two-point conversion. In the third quarter, Marshall caught his own batted pass and raced for a 37-yard gain. The Bulldogs forced the Tigers to settle for Cody Parkey's 47-yard field goal after Jamerson Love tackled Corey Grant for a loss. Parkey also had a 40-yarder and 19-yarder. The Bulldogs were able to keep in check Auburn tailbacks Corey Grant, Tre Mason andCameron Artis-Payne, who had been the strength of the offense. Prescott completed 15 of 28 passes and carried 22 times. LaDarius Perkins gained 36 yards after he was one of seven starters held out of a route of FCS team Alcorn State. Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen gambled on fourth-and-2 from his own 29 late, and Prescott delivered with a 3-yard gain. That enabled the Bulldogs to burn off another two minutes before punting, though they couldn't get another first down. It proved just enough time for the Tigers. Mississippi State twice forced turnovers in Auburn territory in the second half, but failed to produce points both times. Dak Prescott threw for 233 yards and a touchdown, rushed for 53 yards and two touchdowns and caught a 36-yard touchdown pass to lead Mississippi State over Troy 62-7. Prescott's diverse and efficient performance was matched by Jameon Lewis, who caught a 50-yard touchdown pass, rushed for an 8-yard touchdown and threw the 36-yard touchdown that Prescott caught on a trick play. Prescott was starting just his third career game. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound sophomore completed 13 of 21 passes. Mississippi State (2-2) led 10-7 after the first quarter, but erupted for 35 points in the second quarter to take a 45-7 halftime lead. Troy (2-2) never recovered from the brutal second quarter. Corey Robinson, who is the NCAA's active leader in career passing yards, completed 15 of 25 passes for just 105 yards, one touchdown and one interception. It was the most points Mississippi State has scored in a game since 1994. The Bulldogs finished with 551 total yards. Besides Prescott and Lewis, Mississippi State didn't have many players with big individual numbers. That's because just about any Bulldog who touched the ball produced. Ten players caught a pass and nine had at least one rushing attempt. The Troy-Mississippi State series has traditionally been close, with the Trojans even earning one of the biggest wins in school history against the Bulldogs in 2001. But this one turned ugly by halftime. 2 6:28 MSU De'Runnya Wilson 59-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Russell, Devon Bell kick good MSU 23–21 2 0:17 LSU Odell Beckham 14-yard touchdown pass from Zach Mettenberger, Colby Delahoussaye kick good LSU 28–23 4 14:50 LSU Odell Beckham 33-yard touchdown pass from Zach Mettenberger, Colby Delahoussaye kick good LSU 38–26 Zach Mettenberger surveyed the field with plenty of time to throw and then delivered a perfect spiral to Odell Beckham Jr., who stopped short of the sideline, spun inside and galloped 33 yards untouched for the touchdown. It was the ninth and final time the two hooked up for a completion, and it proved to be the knockout blow. Mettenberger threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns, Beckham had 179 yards receiving and two touchdowns and No. 10 LSU blew past Mississippi State for a 59-26 victory. It was a tight game for three quarters, but Mettenberger's touchdown to Beckham gave LSU a 38-26 lead on the first play of the fourth quarter and Mississippi State couldn't respond. LSU closed the game on a 31-0 run, including four touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Mettenberger completed 25 of 29 passes in another impressive performance during the senior's breakout season. Beckham was his favorite target -- but Jarvis Landry also caught eight passes for 96 yards. It was a nearly flawless performance, and helped erase some of the sting of last week's 44-41 loss to Georgia. LSU's Jeremy Hill added 157 yards rushing and two touchdowns while Kenny Hilliard added 39 yards rushing and three touchdowns. The Tigers (5-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) have won 14 straight over Mississippi State (2-3, 0-2) dating back to 1999. LSU has a 21-1 record under Miles following a loss. Mississippi State's Dak Prescott threw for 106 yards and rushed for 103 more. Jameon Lewis caught seven passes for 111 yards and a touchdown. The Bulldogs' offense was good, especially early, but LSU's was even better. The Tigers' receiver duo of Landry and Beckham was unstoppable, even when Mississippi State appeared to have good coverage, and Mettenberger found them early and often. The Tigers finished with 563 total yards. LSU needed all those yards, because the defense was gashed for a second straight week. The Tigers gave up nearly 500 yards last week in a loss to Georgia and Mississippi State had some early success with a two-quarterback system. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound Prescott has been terrific in Russell's place, providing much more of a running threat. On the team's first offensive drive, he rewarded Mullen's confidence with a 28-yard touchdown run to pull the Bulldogs to 7-6. Russell entered the game early in the second quarter and also had immediate success, throwing a 20-yard touchdown to Lewis to pull Mississippi State to 21-16 in the second quarter. The Bulldogs took a 23-21 lead on Russell's 59-yard touchdown pass to De'Runnya Wilson, but LSU responded with a 14-yard touchdown pass from Mettenberger to Beckham to take a 28-23 lead into halftime. Russell's second touchdown pass was the 39th of his career, which set a Mississippi State record. He finished 7 of 11 for 146 yards passing. The teams combined for 608 total yards in the first half -- 334 for LSU and 274 for Mississippi State. LSU's defense tightened in the second half, giving up just three points. Dak Prescott rushed for 139 yards and 2 touchdowns to lead Mississippi State to a 21-20 win over Bowling Green in a non-conference game Saturday night. After a failed fourth-and-1 by MSU, Bowling Green (5-2) had the ball and 4:21 on the clock at the end of the game, but couldn't get inside field goal range. Mississippi State (3-3) had 422 yards of offense, 245 on the ground as the Bulldogs won their 11th straight nonconference home game. The game was a back-and-forth affair. Mississippi State opened the game on a 9-play, 75-yard drive that ended in a LaDarius Perkins touchdown. Bowling Green's BooBoo Gates intercepted Prescott on MSU's next offensive series, and the Falcons eventually settled for a 35-yard field goal by Tyler Tate. Prescott responded on the next drive by rushing for a 75-yard touchdown. In the second quarter, Bowling Green answered with a 96-yard drive capped off by a 7-yardAndre Givens touchdown run. Mississippi State countered with a 75-yard drive and a 10-yard Prescott touchdown run with 1:04 left in the second quarter. But quarterback Matt Johnson worked Bowling Green into field goal range, and Tate nailed a 45-yarder to end the first half. Tate missed a 45-yard field goal on the opening drive of the third quarter, but Bowling Green responded with a 7-play touchdown drive on its next possession, to pull within one point; the eventual final margin. With 4:21 left in the game, Mississippi State went for a fourth-and-1 on the Bowling Green six yard line. Prescott's rush was inches short, and the Bulldogs turned it over on downs. Johnson completed four passes and Green rushed once to get the Falcons to midfield. But then the drive stalled, and Johnson failed to complete a fourth-and-11 to Ryan Burbrink, and Mississippi State ran out the clock. For MSU, Perkins rushed for 83 yards and one touchdown. Perkins, Joe Morrow and Jameon Lewis each caught four passes. Prescott was also 7-of-11 passing for 75 yards and one interception. Mullen again used both Prescott, a sophomore, and veteran quarterback Tyler Russell throughout the game. Russell finished 12-of-14 for 102 yards. Johnson was 19-of-33 for 194 yards for Bowling Green. Travis Green rushed for 99 yards and Ryan Burbrink caught four passes for a game-high 66 yards. Bowling Green's Gates was ejected in the second quarter for targeting. See also: Kentucky Wildcats football, 2013 Kentucky Wildcats football team, and Kentucky–Mississippi State football rivalry Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen came to the postgame press conference, sat in his chair, adjusted the microphone and then let out a strange noise that was somewhere between a scream and sigh of relief. The Bulldogs had picked up their first Southeastern Conference victory of the season. But it wasn't easy at all. Mississippi State beat Kentucky 28-22 on Thursday night at Davis Wade Stadium. The Bulldogs built a 21-7 lead in the first half, but couldn't secure the game until Kentucky's last drive fell short at Mississippi State's 29 with 21 seconds left. Dak Prescott threw for 268 yards and two touchdowns and also caught a 17-yard touchdown pass in another impressive all-around performance. He completed a career-high 23 of 34 passes and also rushed for 33 yards. Jameon Lewis had a 19-yard touchdown run, caught a 17-yard scoring pass and also threw the 17-yard touchdown to Prescott on a trick play. Mississippi State (4-3, 1-2 SEC) beat Kentucky (1-6, 0-4) for a fifth straight season. It's the second time this season Lewis has had rushing, receiving and passing touchdowns in a game. The 5-foot-9, 195-pound senior was a quarterback in high school and Mullen relishes his diverse skill set. Kentucky's Joe Mansour made a 44-yard field goal with 8:15 remaining to pull the Wildcats to 28-22. Mississippi State chewed up 6 minutes of clock the ensuing next drive, but Kentucky had one final chance. The Wildcats methodically moved downfield until Maxwell Smith's fourth-down pass missed its target and Mississippi State escaped. Kentucky pulled to 21-19 in the third quarter on Jojo Kemp's 14-yard touchdown run. Then in what proved to be a key moment, the Wildcats recovered an onside kick, only to have it disallowed because of an offsides penalty. Mississippi State took advantage. A 74-yard drive ended on the halfback pass from Lewis to Prescott, who handed the ball off before leaking into the open field for the catch, touchdown and 28-19 lead. Prescott, a 6-foot-2, 230-pound sophomore, completed 11 of 18 passes for 160 yards and two touchdowns in the first half, helping Mississippi State to a 21-10 halftime lead. Prescott's first touchdown pass -- a 60-yard fling to a wide open Malcolm Johnson -- came after he danced out of the pocket while avoiding a sack. Kentucky's defense shifted forward because of Prescott's ability to run, and it gave Johnson time to slip behind the secondary undetected. The Bulldogs had 296 total yards in the first half. Mississippi State started the game with the intention of using two quarterbacks, but Tyler Russell suffered a sprained ankle on his first series and never returned. Kentucky's offense had a few good early moments -- especially on a 51-yard screen pass from Smith to Timmons that tied the game at 7 -- but the Wildcats became predictable because of their inability to throw downfield. Smith has dealt with pain in his throwing shoulder all season and wasn't close on most of his attempts to complete long passes. Kentucky's Smith completed 18 of 33 passes for 160 yards and one touchdown. Backup Jalen Whitlow led one touchdown drive, but was hampered because of a previous ankle injury. Raymond Sanders had 86 yards rushing. Mississippi State safety Nickoe Whitley was ejected in the second quarter after earning two personal foul penalties over a span of four plays. The extra 30 yards greatly aided Kentucky on a drive that ended on a 45-yard field goal by Mansour. Connor Shaw passed for four touchdowns, Mike Davis moved past 1,000 yards this season and the 14th-ranked Gamecocks got five turnovers to defeat the Bulldogs 34-16 for their school-record tying 15th straight home victory Saturday. It had been a long time coming for a group that had been one of the Southeastern Conference's best defenses the past few years. The Gamecocks had collected only 11 turnovers its first eight games, but got five of them -- four off Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott -- to pull away in the second half. The Gamecocks (7-2, 5-2 SEC) got 20 points off the turnovers, including 10 in the third quarter as they went from a touchdown up to a 34-10 lead. Shaw played quarterback just the way he always has -- with an emphasis on results. He missed practice Monday and Tuesday with a virus and was not as sharp as usual. Still, the senior tied his career best with the four touchdown passes. He had scoring throws of 14 and 43 yards to Shaq Roland, 6 yards to Damiere Byrd and 4 yards to Jerell Adams to move to 23-5 as South Carolina's starting quarterback. Shaw can tie Todd Ellis' school record for victories when South Carolina plays Florida here in two weeks. Davis had 128 yards and became the Gamecocks' first 1,000-yard rusher since Marcus Lattimore ran for 1,197 yards his freshman season three years ago. South Carolina won its seventh in row over the Bulldogs (4-4, 1-3). Prescott threw three interceptions -- he had just three in seven games coming in -- and had a fumble. He did have touchdown runs of 1 and 11 yards, upping his SEC-leading touchdown total to 12. The Gamecocks got themselves back in the SEC Eastern Division hunt with last week's 27-24, double-overtime victory at then No. 5 Missouri. South Carolina's home streak is the second current longest in the country behind Michigan's 19 in a row. 1 5:45 TAMU Malcome Kennedy 12-yard touchdown pass from Johnny Manziel, Josh Lambo kick good TAMU 7–0 3 7:34 TAMU Malcome Kennedy 21-yard touchdown pass from Johnny Manziel, Josh Lambo kick good TAMU 30–14 3 0:44 MSU LaDarius Perkins 12-yard touchdown pass from Dak Prescott, Dak Prescott pass intercepted TAMU 30–20 4 13:54 TAMU Nehemiah Hicks 2-yard touchdown pass from Johnny Manziel, Josh Lambo kick good TAMU 44–27 4 2:19 MSU De'Runnya Wilson 9-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Russell, Tyler Russell rush failed TAMU 51–41 Johnny Manziel threw for 446 yards and tied a career-high with five touchdown passes to lead No. 15 Texas A&M to a 51-41 win over Mississippi State. The crowd chanted "one more year" late in the game for Manziel, who is eligible for the draft after this season. Whether he comes back remains to be seen, but he went into the stands to celebrate with the student section when the game was over. Manziel denied that he even has entertained the thought that he might not play here again. Among the crowd of 88,504, third largest ever at A&M, on hand to see Manziel play at Kyle Field for the possibly final time was former President George H.W. Bush and former Texas A&M and current St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Michael Wacha. Texas governor Rick Perry was the co-pilot in the pre-game flyover and also attended the game. Manziel set a school career record for total yards with 9,040 and a single-season record with 31 touchdown passes. He became just the second A&M quarterback to run for 2,000 yards in a career and has 3,313 yards passing this year to become the first Aggie with two 3,000-yard passing seasons. Mississippi State cut the lead to 10 points early in the fourth quarter, but Manziel threw his fifth touchdown pass to make it 44-27 for A&M (8-2, 4-2 Southeastern Conference). The defense grabbed an interception and Ben Malena's 2-yard touchdown run extended the lead to 51-27. Dak Prescott threw for 149 yards and two scores and ran for 154 yards for Mississippi State (4-5, 1-4). Kennedy and Travis Labhart had two touchdown receptions each. Mike Evans had 116 yards receiving to break the school single-season record with 1,263. Russell started the game in place of Prescott, who missed practice this week after his mother died of cancer on Sunday. Prescott entered the game on Mississippi State's third drive and got the majority of the snaps after that. Manziel evaded the rush and connected with Kennedy for a 21-yard touchdown to extend Texas A&M's lead to 30-14 in the third quarter. The Bulldogs cut the lead to 10 points late in the third quarter on a touchdown pass by Prescott. But A&M made it 37-20 two plays later on a 15-yard run by Williams. That scored was set up by a 75-yard reception by Evans. The Bulldogs got within 10 points again after a touchdown throw by Tyler Russell with 2:19 remaining. But the onside kick was recovered by A&M. Bulldogs receiver Jameon Lewis threw a touchdown pass to Joe Morrow on a reverse early in the fourth quarter to get within 37-27. Trey Williams returned the ensuing kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown. But it was negated by an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after he flipped into the end zone. Manziel was intercepted three times, twice by Jamerson Love. The turnovers helped keep Mississippi State close, but the Bulldogs couldn't keep up. See also: Alabama Crimson Tide football, 2013 Alabama Crimson Tide football team, and Alabama–Mississippi State football rivalry Alabama looked lethargic, uninspired, sloppy and downright ordinary against a middling Southeastern Conference team. And the top-ranked Crimson Tide still found a way to win by nearly two touchdowns. T. J. Yeldon rushed for 160 yards and AJ McCarron threw two touchdown passes as Alabama overcame four turnovers to beat Mississippi State 20-7. It was the lowest scoring game of the season for Alabama (10-0, 7-0 SEC), which led 10-7 midway through the third quarter before pulling away. Alabama has seemed invincible over the past two months, winning seven straight games by at least three touchdowns. But that aura wasn't anywhere to be found at Davis Wade Stadium, with Nick Saban's bunch looking curiously mortal after last week's emotional victory over LSU. Mississippi State (4-6, 1-5) kept the game far closer than most anticipated, but couldn't take advantage of Alabama's mistakes. Tyler Russell started for the injured Dak Prescott and completed 15 of 24 passes for 144 yards and an interception before leaving with a shoulder injury when the Bulldogs were trying to rally in the fourth quarter. A.J. McCarron tossed two rare interceptions and Yeldon had a costly fumble that led to Mississippi State's only touchdown, but Alabama survived to set up a much-anticipated Iron Bowl with Auburn. Mississippi State had two chances to get back into the game in the fourth quarter after McCarron's second interception and a fumble by Kenyan Drake gave the Bulldogs field position in Alabama territory. But without Russell, Mississippi State's offense went nowhere. Freshman Damian Williams didn't connect on any of his five pass attempts -- though two of them were good passes that were dropped. McCarron completed 18 of 32 passes. His first interception in the second quarter was his first in 139 pass attempts. It was the third 100-plus streak without an interception during his career. Alabama parlayed a methodical 14-play, 59-yard opening drive into Cade Foster's 33-yard field goal and a 3-0 lead. But the next four drives were brutal for the Crimson Tide's offense, which managed just two first downs during that span. Mississippi State tried to take advantage with a long drive midway through the second quarter, but it bogged down on the 7 and Evan Sobiesk missed a 24-yard field goal that could have tied the game. A few minutes later, the Tide finally broke through with Yeldon's 50-yard run down the sideline to Mississippi State's 28. McCarron hit Brian Vogler five plays later for an 18-yard touchdown pass with 20 seconds remaining in the second quarter to give Alabama a 10-0 halftime lead. It looked like that would be all the breathing room Alabama needed, but the mistakes continued in the second half. Yeldon fumbled after a 10-yard run and Mississippi State's Beniquez Brown recovered at Alabama's 48. The Bulldogs then drove downfield and scored thanks to Russell's timely passes and a stroke of luck. Russell fumbled just short of a touchdown, but right tackle Charles Siddoway fell on the ball in the end zone to pull Mississippi State within 10-7. McCarron's 11-yard pass to Norwood pushed the Tide ahead 17-7 with 5:46 left in the third quarter. Alabama's defense held an opponent to seven points or less for the sixth time this season. 2 1:48 MSU LaDarius Perkins 30-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Russell, Devon Bell kick good Tie 10–10 Mississippi State finally got the best of Arkansas in an overtime game and in the state of Arkansas. True Freshman and third-string quarterback Damian Williams scored on a 25-yard touchdown run on the first play of overtime, and the Mississippi State defense made it stand, as the Bulldogs defeated Arkansas 24-17 on Saturday at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock. Mississippi State (5-6, 2-5 Southeastern Conference) got an interception by Taveze Calhoun on fourth down to seal the victory and keep its bowl hopes alive. Arkansas gained only one yard on its first three plays, and Calhoun stepped in front of the receiver and snared Brandon Allen's pass, returning it across midfield before being tackled. The Bulldogs lost to Arkansas in overtime contests in 1996, 2000 and 2010, all in Starkville, Miss., and had never defeated the Razorbacks in Arkansas. Mississippi State's best result in the Natural State was a 13-13 tie in 1993. Arkansas still leads the all-time series 15-8-1. The Bulldogs can become bowl eligible with a win over rival Ole Miss on Thanksgiving night in Starkville. Mississippi State had a chance to win the game in regulation, but Devon Bell's 42-yard field goal drifted wide right with 24 seconds remaining. That came after Arkansas (3-8, 0-7) failed to cash in on its own chance to take the lead late in regulation. With the score tied 17-17, Allen passed to Jeremy Sprinkle for 44 yards to the Mississippi State 12. But Alex Collins fumbled on the next play, and Nickoe Whitley recovered for the Bulldogs at the Arkansas 9. The Razorbacks took the opening kick and went 56 yards for a touchdown. After Korliss Marshall's kick return gave the Razorbacks a short field, they quickly moved into Mississippi State territory. Javontee Herndon scored, also on an end around, and Arkansas led 7-0.Zach Hocker added a career-best 54-yard field goal in the second quarter to make it 10-0. Arkansas led 10-0 in the first half, but was unable to maintain the lead and lost its eighth consecutive game for the first time in school history. The Bulldogs countered in the final minutes of the second quarter. Bell's 24-yard field goal got them on the scoreboard with 5:08 left. Russell then found LaDarius Perkins on a play action down the middle of the field for a 30-yard touchdown to pull the Bulldogs even. After a first half that ended in a 10-10 tie, the Razorbacks took a 17-10 lead on a 22-yard run by Julian Horton in the third quarter on an end around. The Bulldogs answered immediately, covering 75 yards in 11 plays, as Tyler Russell connected with Jameon Lewis for a 5-yard touchdown on third down to knot the score. Russell completed 18 of 28 passes for 263 yards and two scores before leaving the game late in regulation with an apparent shoulder injury. Josh Robinson had 17 carries for 101 yards. Arkansas rushed for 225 yards as a team, spread out among nine ball carriers, but managed only 114 yards passing. 2 0:26 UM MSU punt blocked by Collins Moore for no gain for a Touchdown. Andrew Ritter kick good Tie 7–7 With Mississippi State's offense struggling and time slipping away in the Egg Bowl, coach Dan Mullen turned to Dak Prescott and asked him to win the game. Injured shoulder and all, the sophomore quarterback did just that, running for a 3-yard touchdown in overtime to lead the Bulldogs past rival Mississippi 17-10 on a chilly Thursday night at Davis Wade Stadium. Prescott didn't enter the game until the fourth quarter because of a nerve injury to his non-throwing arm that caused him to miss the previous two games. But the sophomore led the Bulldogs (6-6, 3-5 Southeastern Conference) to their tying drive in the fourth quarter and the game winner in overtime. Prescott completed 11 of 20 passes for 115 yards in a performance that will long be remembered in Egg Bowl lore. His game-winning touchdown came on a gutsy call by Mullen, who opted to go for it on fourth-and-1 at the 3 instead of kicking a short field goal. It was an emotional win for the Bulldogs and especially Prescott, whose mother died earlier this month after a yearlong battle with cancer. Ole Miss had a chance to tie the game in overtime, but the drive ended when quarterback Bo Wallace fumbled and Mississippi State's Jamerson Love recovered the ball in the end zone. The Bulldogs are now bowl eligible for a fourth straight season, the longest streak in school history. Mississippi State has won four of the past five Egg Bowls and five in a row at Davis Wade Stadium. Mississippi State Freshman Damian Williams, the third-string quarterback, made his first career start because of injuries to Prescott and Tyler Russell. He completed 8 of 18 passes for 82 yards and one interception. Both teams struggled to move the ball in the chilly conditions -- especially through the air. The temperature hovered in the low 30s throughout the night, which is downright frigid by Magnolia State standards. Ole Miss (7-5, 3-5) didn't have an offensive touchdown, scoring only on a field goal and blocked punt in the end zone. The Rebels ended the regular season on a two-game losing streak. The Rebels had one good early drive but it ended with nothing after Andrew Ritter's 27-yard field goal attempt bounced off the left upright. Wallace threw three interceptions before halftime, and the final one was costly. Mississippi State's Justin Cox grabbed it at the Ole Miss 30, and the Bulldogs' subsequent drive ended with Josh Robinson's 1-yard touchdown run for a 7-0 lead with 1:32 remaining in the second quarter. Ole Miss did nothing on its next possession and quickly punted back to Mississippi State, which looked as though it would ease into halftime with the lead. But a mistake on special teams hurt the Bulldogs when Collins Moore burst through the line and blocked Baker Swedenburg's punt after the snap was bobbled. It was recovered by little-used senior Terrell Grant in the end zone to tie the game at 7. Ole Miss grabbed the lead for the first time early in the third quarter after Ritter's 22-yard field goal gave the Rebels a 10-7 advantage. The points were certainly welcome for the Ole Miss offense, but it was the team's fifth straight trip to the red zone without a touchdown, dating back to last weekend's loss to Missouri. That lack of efficiency came back to haunt the Rebels. Williams played decently for the Bulldogs and avoided any major mistakes, but with the offense struggling early in the fourth quarter, Mullen turned to Prescott. Mullen said earlier in the week that Prescott wouldn't play in the Egg Bowl, but he looked plenty healthy as he led the Bulldogs down the field on his second drive, completing several impressive passes. The drive ended with Sobiesk's 36-yard field goal to tie it at 10. Mississippi State received the ball one final time but Sobiesk missed a 38-yard field goal wide right at the end of regulation that would have won the game. 1 2:01 MSU LaDarius Perkins 10-yard touchdown pass from Dak Prescott, Evan Sobiesk kick good Tie 7–7 2 4:32 MSU Malcolm Johnson 13-yard touchdown pass from Dak Prescott, Evan Sobiesk kick blocked MSU 20–7 Dak Prescott delivered a performance that would have made his mother proud and make him a dark-horse candidate for the Heisman Trophy in 2014. Prescott threw three touchdown passes and ran for two more scores Tuesday as Mississippi State trounced Rice 44-7 in the most one-sided AutoZone Liberty Bowl victory in the game's 55-year history in Memphis. The sophomore quarterback delivered arguably the finest performance of his career less than two months after his mother, Peggy, died of cancer. Mississippi State (7-6) wrapped up its fourth straight winning season and prevented Rice (10-4) from winning bowl games in back-to-back years for the first time. All of Mississippi State's losses this season came against teams currently in the Top 25: No. 13 Oklahoma State, No. 2 Auburn, No. 14 LSU, No. 8 South Carolina, No. 20 Texas A&M and No. 3 Alabama. The Bulldogs became bowl eligible by closing the regular season with consecutive overtime victories over Arkansas and Ole Miss. This marks the first time since 1974 that Mississippi State has closed a season with three straight wins. Nobody faced more adversity than Prescott, who set a Liberty Bowl record by accounting for five touchdowns. Prescott was 17 of 28 for 283 yards passing and also ran for 78 yards on 14 carries. Prescott's performance delighted a partisan crowd of 57,846 and capped a triumphant late-season performance amid personal tragedy for the sophomore quarterback. Prescott came off the bench in the fourth quarter to lead Mississippi State to a 17-10 overtime victory over Ole Miss last month that earned the Bulldogs a bowl bid. Although Prescott and senior Tyler Russell had shared quarterback duties throughout the regular season, Prescott had the job to himself in the Liberty Bowl while Russell recovered from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder. Prescott responded better than anyone could have reasonably imagined. Prescott wasn't Mississippi State's only star on a night when the Bulldogs outgained Rice 533-145 and scored the game's final 44 points. Mississippi State's Jameon Lewis caught nine passes for 220 yards to break the Liberty Bowl receiving record held by Houston's Vincent Marshall, who had 201 yards in a 44-36 loss to South Carolina in 2006. Lewis also set the school single-game record. Not to forget, the Bulldogs also played dominant defense. Rice had won the Conference USA title -- its first outright league championship of any kind since 1957 -- by relying on a rushing attack that was ranked 16th among all Football Bowl Subdivision teams. Rice gained only 61 yards rushing -- 179 below its season average -- on 32 carries against Mississippi State. Charles Ross, who entered the day having rushed for 1,252 yards and 14 touchdowns this season, was held to 28 yards on 10 carries. Rice took an early lead on Ross' 1-yard touchdown run, but Mississippi State took control by reaching the end zone on six of its next seven possessions. Prescott threw first-half touchdown passes to LaDarius Perkins, Malcolm Johnson and Artimus Samuel before running for two scores in the third quarter. ^ "Alcorn State Braves at Mississippi State Bulldogs (September 7, 2013)".

The design is a follow-up on work for both the Malaysian Police and the Royal Malaysian Customs.[35] Four of these boats have been built[36] for DMS in Johor in South Malaysia.[37] The series of 16.5 metre boats have a top speed of 65 knots and are used for the task of intercepting other boats as an enforcer of customs laws in the waters in and around Malaysia.[38] Excalibre was designed to suit the "typical New Zealand Outdoorsman".[39][40] This means that the boat has been designed for sport fishing, bottom fishing, spear fishing, diving and swimming.[41] Excalibre is 11.6 metres long, has a top speed of 30 knots and a cruise speed of 24 knots.[42] Hawere is 15 metres long and has a draft of 1.2 metres.[43] It is a research vessel that was built for the University of Auckland and it currently operates in the Leigh[44] Marine Laboratory, north of Auckland.[45] A two speed gearbox is installed in the boat so that the boat can operate while performing survey work, trolling or during dredging exercises.[46] The boat has a top speed of 27 knots, cruise speed of 18 knots and a range of 375 nautical miles.[47] Massive Attack is a power boat that has been designed for water skiing and the possibility of offshore powerboat racing.[48] The hull is light and weighs 225 kg.[49] Massive Attack is 5.9 metres long and has a top speed of 80 miles per hour.[50] Patrol One was built in Mauritius by Diogene Marine and was designed to be used as a private yacht in the Indian Ocean surrounding Mauritius.[51] It is a trimaran which means that the boat is stable in rough seas.[52] Patrol One is able to travel at speeds of up to 29 knots[53] across the 250 nautical mile stretch of water between the islands of Mauritius and Saint Brandon and back again without refuelling.[54] Tûranor PlanetSolar is a boat that was launched on 31 March 2010 and is entirely powered by solar panels. The boat aims to set the world circumnavigation record for a solar powered vessel, promoting the potential of solar power. It is the world's largest solar powered vessel. Power Sail is the name of a range of 15 and 20 metre long boats.[55] The boats can both motor and sail at 18 knots.[56] This is because the boat has a Z-drive system that means that the motor can retract horizontally and is covered by a door. When the boat is sailing, the motor is retracted to reduce drag.[57] Rhythm was launched in early 2003 and is used as a private fishing boat in New Zealand.[58] The boat was designed to look similar to some US lobster boats, but it uses modern hull technology[59] Rhythm is 13.5 metres long and has a top speed of 27 knots and a cruise speed of 20 knots.[60] Sampitres was launched in 2002 and was built by Vaudrey Miller Yachts.[61] It is a pleasure boat designed for long distance trips or to be used as a day boat. Sampitres is similar to Ultimate Lady and is also a wave-piercing catamaran.[62] Sampitres has a range of 3490 nautical miles which means that it is capable of trans-Atlantic travel. The boat not as wide as Ultimate Lady, which means that it can be parked in the Mediterranean which is known for its tight berthing situations.[63][64] It was listed as a finalist for the 2002 Super Yacht Society International design award.[65] The boat can travel at a maximum speed of 28 knots and is 23.7 metres in length. Spirit was launched in 1999 and was built by Friendship Yachts.[66] Spirit is a pleasure boat that uses wave-piercing technology which means that the boat is more stable and faster in rough seas.[67] The boat has three cabins, a jacuzzi,[68] and a platform at the aft of the boat that can be lowered from a metre above the water line to 500 mm below the water line for swimming, fishing and retrieving tender boats.[69] Spirit is 24.6 metres long and has a top speed of 25 knots and cruises at 22 knots.[70] Ultimate Lady was launched in 1998 and was designed to be used for long distance fishing trips and as a charter boat.[71] It was one of the first wave-piercing catamarans designed to be used as a private motor yacht.[72][73] A wave-piercing catamaran is a hull form that means that the two outer hulls go through waves instead of over them which means that the boat is more stable and can go faster in rough water.[74] The boat has received the International Super Yacht Society Award in the 23–32 m category. Also, the boat has received awards in fishing competitions.[75][76] Ultimate Lady is available as a charter boat to hire.[77][78] Ultimate Lady is 26.7 metres long and has a beam of 10 metres,[79] and can reach a maximum speed of 30 knots and has a cruise speed of 25 knots.[80] Ultimate Lady has a range of 3000 nautical miles.[81] The Yellow Water Taxi is a series of boats designed in collaboration with Grant Reed Designs and they are operational in the Waitematā Harbour in Auckland.[82] The fleet of Yellow Water Taxis were launched in 2003.[83] The taxis are 11.25 metres long and can be powered by either propellers or water jets which are powered by one Scania diesel engine.[84][85] ^ "''Black Pearl'' article part 2".

Naval architecture – Naval architecture also known as naval engineering, is an engineering discipline dealing with the engineering design process, shipbuilding, maintenance, and operation of marine vessels and structures. Naval architecture involves basic and applied research, design, development, design evaluation, preliminary design of the vessel, its detailed design, construction, trials, operation and maintenance, launching and dry-docking are the main activities involved. Ship design calculations are required for ships being modified. Naval architecture also involves formulation of safety regulations and damage control rules, the word vessel includes every description of watercraft, including non-displacement craft, WIG craft and seaplanes, used or capable of being used as a means of transportation on water. The principal elements of architecture are, Hydrostatics concerns the conditions to which the vessel is subjected to while at rest in water. This involves computing buoyancy, and other properties, such as trim. Hydrodynamics concerns the flow of water around the hull, bow, and stern. Resistance – resistance towards motion in water primarily caused due to flow of water around the hull, powering calculation is done based on this. Propulsion – to move the vessel through water using propellers, thrusters, water jets, engine types are mainly internal combustion. Some vessels are powered using nuclear or solar energy. Ship motions – involves motions of the vessel in seaway and its responses in waves, controllability – involves controlling and maintaining position and direction of the vessel. Arrangements involves concept design, layout and access, fire protection, allocation of spaces, ergonomics, construction depends on the material used. Other joining techniques are used for materials like fibre reinforced plastic. Traditionally, naval architecture has been more craft than science, the suitability of a vessels shape was judged by looking at a half-model of a vessel or a prototype. Ungainly shapes or abrupt transitions were frowned on as being flawed and this included rigging, deck arrangements, and even fixtures. Subjective descriptors such as ungainly, full, and fine were used as a substitute for the precise terms used today. A vessel was, and still is described as having a ‘fair’ shape and these tools are used for static stability, dynamic stability, resistance, powering, hull development, structural analysis, green water modelling, and slamming analysis. Data is regularly shared in international conferences sponsored by RINA, Society of Naval Architects, computational Fluid Dynamics is being applied to predict the response of a floating body in a random sea 2. Auckland – Auckland is a city in the North Island of New Zealand. It is the most populous area in the country. Auckland has a population of 1,495,000, which constitutes 32 percent of New Zealands population, a diverse and multicultural city, Auckland is home to the largest Polynesian population in the world. It has also been called Ākarana, the Māori pronunciation of Auckland, the Auckland urban area ranges to Waiwera in the north, Kumeu in the northwest, and Runciman in the south. It is not contiguous, the section from Waiwera to Whangaparāoa Peninsula is separate from its nearest neighbouring suburb of Long Bay, the surrounding hills are covered in rainforest and the landscape is dotted with dozens of dormant volcanic cones. The central part of the area occupies a narrow isthmus between the Manukau Harbour on the Tasman Sea and the Waitemata Harbour on the Pacific Ocean. It is one of the few cities in the world to have harbours on two major bodies of water. The isthmus on which Auckland resides was first settled around 1350 and was valued for its rich, Māori population in the area is estimated to have peaked at 20,000 before the arrival of Europeans. After a British colony was established in 1840, the new Governor of New Zealand, William Hobson and he named the area Auckland for George Eden, Earl of Auckland, British First Lord of the Admiralty. It was replaced as the capital in 1865, but immigration to the new city stayed strong, today, Aucklands Central Business District is the major financial centre of New Zealand. Auckland is classified as a Beta World City because of its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, education and tourism. Aucklands landmarks such as the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, the Harbour Bridge, the Sky Tower, the isthmus was settled by Māori around 1350, and was valued for its rich and fertile land. Many pā were created, mainly on the volcanic peaks, Māori population in the area is estimated to have been about 20,000 people before the arrival of Europeans. As a result, the region had relatively low numbers of Māori when European settlement of New Zealand began, there is, however, nothing to suggest that this was the result of a deliberate European policy. Auckland was officially declared New Zealands capital in 1841 and the transfer of the administration from Russell in the Bay of Islands was completed in 1842. However, even in 1840 Port Nicholson was seen as a choice for an administrative capital because of its proximity to the South Island. After losing its status as capital, Auckland remained the city of the Auckland Province until the provincial system was abolished in 1876. Each of the four settlements had about 800 settlers, the men being fully armed in case of emergency but spent nearly all their time breaking in the land and establishing roads 3. Composite material – The individual components remain separate and distinct within the finished structure. The new material may be preferred for reasons, common examples include materials which are stronger, lighter. More recently, researchers have begun to actively include sensing, actuation, computation and communication into composites. The most advanced examples perform routinely on spacecraft and aircraft in demanding environments, the earliest man-made composite materials were straw and mud combined to form bricks for building construction. Ancient brick-making was documented by Egyptian tomb paintings, wattle and daub is one of the oldest man-made composite materials, at over 6000 years old. Concrete is also a material, and is used more than any other man-made material in the world. As of 2006, about 7.5 billion cubic metres of concrete are made each year—more than one metre for every person on Earth. 2181–2055 BC and was used for death masks Cob Mud Bricks, concrete was described by Vitruvius, writing around 25 BC in his Ten Books on Architecture, distinguished types of aggregate appropriate for the preparation of lime mortars. For structural mortars, he recommended pozzolana, which were volcanic sands from the beds of Pozzuoli brownish-yellow-gray in colour near Naples. Natural cement-stones, after burning, produced cements used in concretes from post-Roman times into the 20th century, the glass fiber is relatively strong and stiff, whereas the polymer is ductile. Thus the resulting fiberglass is relatively stiff, strong, flexible, concrete is the most common artificial composite material of all and typically consists of loose stones held with a matrix of cement. Concrete is a material, and will not compress or shatter even under quite a large compressive force. However, concrete cannot survive tensile loading, therefore, to give concrete the ability to resist being stretched, steel bars, which can resist high stretching forces, are often added to concrete to form reinforced concrete. Fibre-reinforced polymers or FRPs include carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer or CFRP, and glass-reinforced plastic or GRP, if classified by matrix then there are thermoplastic composites, short fiber thermoplastics, long fibre thermoplastics or long fibre-reinforced thermoplastics. There are numerous thermoset composites, including paper composite panels, many advanced thermoset polymer matrix systems usually incorporate aramid fibre and carbon fibre in an epoxy resin matrix. Shape memory polymer composites are high-performance composites, formulated using fibre or fabric reinforcement and they can also be reheated and reshaped repeatedly without losing their material properties. These composites are ideal for such as lightweight, rigid, deployable structures, rapid manufacturing. Although high strain composites exhibit many similarities to shape memory polymers, Composites can also use metal fibres reinforcing other metals, as in metal matrix composites or ceramic matrix composites, which includes bone, cermet and concrete 4. Carbon fiber reinforced polymer – Carbon fiber reinforced polymer, carbon fiber reinforced plastic or carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic, is an extremely strong and light fiber-reinforced plastic which contains carbon fibers. The spelling fibre is common in British Commonwealth countries, the binding polymer is often a thermoset resin such as epoxy, but other thermoset or thermoplastic polymers, such as polyester, vinyl ester or nylon, are sometimes used. The composite may contain other fibers, such as an aramid, aluminium, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene or glass fibers, the properties of the final CFRP product can also be affected by the type of additives introduced to the binding matrix. The most frequent additive is silica, but other such as rubber. The material is referred to as graphite-reinforced polymer or graphite fiber-reinforced polymer. In product advertisements, it is referred to simply as graphite fiber for short. In this case the composite consists of two parts, a matrix and a reinforcement, in CFRP the reinforcement is carbon fiber, which provides the strength. The matrix is usually a resin, such as epoxy. Because CFRP consists of two elements, the material properties depend on these two elements. The reinforcement will give the CFRP its strength and rigidity, measured by stress, unlike isotropic materials like steel and aluminum, CFRP has directional strength properties. The properties of CFRP depend on the layouts of the carbon fiber, the following equation, E c = V m E m + V f E f is valid for composite materials with the fibers oriented in the direction of the applied load. Typical epoxy-based CFRPs exhibit virtually no plasticity, with less than 0. 5% strain to failure, although CFRPs with epoxy have high strength and elastic modulus, the brittle fracture mechanics present unique challenges to engineers in failure detection since failure occurs catastrophically. As such, recent efforts to toughen CFRPs include modifying the existing epoxy material, One such material with high promise is PEEK, which exhibits an order of magnitude greater toughness with similar elastic modulus and tensile strength. However, PEEK is much more difficult to process and more expensive, despite its high initial strength-to-weight ratio, a design limitation of CFRP is its lack of a definable fatigue endurance limit. This means, theoretically, that stress cycle failure cannot be ruled out, environmental effects such as temperature and humidity can have profound effects on the polymer-based composites, including most CFRPs. While the carbon fibers themselves are not affected by the moisture diffusing into the material, the carbon fibers can cause galvanic corrosion when CRP parts are attached to aluminum. The primary element of CFRP is a filament, this is produced from a precursor polymer such as polyacrylonitrile, rayon. Precursor compositions and mechanical processes used during spinning filament yarns may vary among manufacturers, after drawing or spinning, the polymer filament yarns are then heated to drive off non-carbon atoms, producing the final carbon fiber 5. Kevlar – Kevlar is the registered trademark for a para-aramid synthetic fiber, related to other aramids such as Nomex and Technora. Developed by Stephanie Kwolek at DuPont in 1965, this material was first commercially used in the early 1970s as a replacement for steel in racing tires. Typically it is spun into ropes or fabric sheets that can be used as such or as an ingredient in composite material components and it is also used to make modern drumheads that withstand high impact. When used as a material, it is suitable for mooring lines. A similar fiber called Twaron with roughly the same structure was developed by Akzo in the 1970s, commercial production started in 1986. Poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide – branded Kevlar – was invented by Polish-American chemist Stephanie Kwolek while working for DuPont, in 1964, her group began searching for a new lightweight strong fiber to use for light but strong tires. The polymers she had been working with at the time, poly-p-phenylene-terephthalate and polybenzamide, formed liquid crystal while in solution, the solution was cloudy, opalescent upon being stirred, and of low viscosity and usually was thrown away. However, Kwolek persuaded the technician, Charles Smullen, who ran the spinneret, to test her solution and her supervisor and her laboratory director understood the significance of her accidental discovery and a new field of polymer chemistry quickly arose. By 1971, modern Kevlar was introduced, however, Kwolek was not very involved in developing the applications of Kevlar. Kevlar is synthesized in solution from the monomers 1, 4-phenylene-diamine, the result has liquid-crystalline behavior, and mechanical drawing orients the polymer chains in the fibers direction. Hexamethylphosphoramide was the solvent initially used for the polymerization, but for safety reasons, DuPont replaced it by a solution of N-methyl-pyrrolidone, as this process had been patented by Akzo in the production of Twaron, a patent war ensued. Kevlar production is expensive because of the difficulties arising from using concentrated sulfuric acid, needed to keep the water-insoluble polymer in solution during its synthesis and spinning. Several grades of Kevlar are available, Kevlar K-29 – in industrial applications, such as cables, asbestos replacement, brake linings, Kevlar K49 – high modulus used in cable and rope products. When Kevlar is spun, the fiber has a tensile strength of about 3,620 MPa. The polymer owes its high strength to the many inter-chain bonds and these inter-molecular hydrogen bonds form between the carbonyl groups and NH centers. Additional strength is derived from aromatic stacking interactions between adjacent strands, the presence of salts and certain other impurities, especially calcium, could interfere with the strand interactions and care is taken to avoid inclusion in its production. Kevlars structure consists of relatively rigid molecules tend to form mostly planar sheet-like structures rather like silk protein. Kevlar maintains its strength and resilience down to temperatures, in fact 6. Catamaran – A catamaran is a multi-hulled watercraft featuring two parallel hulls of equal size. It is a craft, deriving its stability from its wide beam. Being ballast-free and therefore lighter than a monohull, catamarans often have a draft than comparably-sized monohulls. The two hulls combined also often have a smaller hydrodynamic resistance than comparable monohulls, requiring less power from either sails or motors. The catamarans wider stance on the water can reduce both heeling and wave-induced motion, as compared with a monohull, and can give reduced wakes, Catamarans range in size from small to large. The structure connecting a catamarans two hulls ranges from a simple frame strung with webbing to support the crew to a bridging superstructure incorporating extensive cabin and/or cargo space, Catamarans from Polynesia and Maritime Southeast Asia became the inspiration for modern catamarans. Catamaran-type vessels were first developed as early as 1500 BCE by the Polynesian peoples and these early examples were likely related to outrigger canoes and consisted of two canoes bound together with a wooden frame, sometimes accompanied by a sail. Despite their simplicity they were effective, allowing seafaring Polynesians to voyage to distant Pacific islands. Catamarans were seldom constructed in the West before the 19th century, the word catamaran is derived from the Tamil word, kattumaram, which means logs bound together. The 17th-century English adventurer and privateer William Dampier encountered the Tamil people of southeastern India during his first circumnavigation of the globe and he was the first to write in English about the primitive watercraft he observed in use there. In his 1697 account of his trip, A New Voyage Round the World, he wrote and these are but one Log, or two, sometimes of a sort of light Wood. So small, that they carry but one Man, whose legs, however, the unusual design met with skepticism and was not a commercial success. The design remained relatively unused in the West for almost 160 years until the early 19th-century, Crisp described it as a fast sailing fine sea boat, she traded during the monsoon between Rangoon and the Tenasserim Provinces for several years. Later that century, the American Nathanael Herreshoff constructed a sailing boat of his own design. The craft, Amaryllis, raced at her maiden regatta on June 22,1876 and her debut demonstrated the distinct performance advantages afforded to catamarans over the standard monohulls. It was as a result of event, the Centennial Regatta of the New York Yacht Club, that catamarans were barred from regular sailing classes. In 1936 Eric de Bisschop built a Polynesian double canoe in Hawaii, in 1939, he published his experiences in a book, Kaimiloa, which was translated into English in 1940. The Prout Brothers, Roland and Francis, experimented with catamarans in 1949 and converted their 1935 boat factory in Canvey Island, Essex and their Shearwater catamarans won races easily against the monohulls 7. Trimaran – A trimaran is a multihull boat that comprises a main hull and two smaller outrigger hulls which are attached to the main hull with lateral beams. Trimarans are most commonly sail-driven yachts designed for recreation or racing, the name trimaran is a 20th-century word concocted from Tri and maran. It is thought to have been invented by Victor Tchetchet, a pioneering, the first trimarans were built by indigenous Polynesians and other Pacific islanders almost 4,000 years ago, and some of the current US terminology is derived from them. Sailing catamarans and trimarans gained popularity during the 1960s and 1970s and he is credited with coining the term, trimaran. In the 1950s and 60s, Arthur Piver designed and built plywood kit trimarans, which were adopted by other homebuilders, Some of these achieved ocean crossings, nonetheless. Following the homebuilt movement, production became available. Some trimarans in the 19–36-foot lengths are designed as day-sailers which can be transported on a road trailer and these include the original Farrier - Corsair folding trimarans - and original John Westell swing-wing folding trimaran and like trimarans. The trimaran concept has also used for both passenger ferries and warships. For example, in 2005 the 127-metre trimaran Benchijigua Express was delivered by Austal to Spanish ferry operator Fred Olsen, S. A. for service in the Canary Islands. Capable of carrying 1,280 passengers and 340 cars, or equivalents, at speeds up to 40 knots, a modern warship, the RV Triton was commissioned by British defence contractor QinetiQ in 2000. In October 2005, the United States Navy commissioned for evaluation the construction of a General Dynamics LCS trimaran designed, the DARPA is experimenting with the trimaran design, and in 2012 awarded SAIC a contract to perform Phases 2 through 4 of the ACTUV Program. The contract is expected to be completed by August 2015, according to American usage, there are three terms that describe the main components of catamarans and trimarans, namely, “vaka”, “aka” and “ama”. These terms come from the Malay and Polynesian language group terms for parts of the outrigger canoe Vaka is the canoe or main hull, aka is the framework member that connects the vaka to the ama. Ama is the outrigger, connected to the vaka by an aka, in cruising trimarans the wings are solid and cabin accommodation extends over them, while in racing trimarans accommodation is limited to the main hull and the wings are open sheets of netting. In comparison to outrigger canoes, trimarans typically feature a sail and are not primarily designed to be paddled, in addition, trimaran floats are much more buoyant than those of outrigger canoes to support a large sailplan. They contribute to drag when heavily immersed, and their level of immersion indicates when to reef, two types of trimaran exist, the regular trimaran and the open trimaran, which features a trampoline between the hulls instead of plating. Trimarans have a number of advantages over comparable monohulls, given two boats of the same length, the trimaran has a shallower draft, a wider beam, less wetted area, and is able to fly more sail area. In addition, because of the righting moment provided by the wide beam, as a result of the wide beam, the trimaran offers much better straight-line performance than a monohull, is able to sail in shallower water, and maintains its stability in stronger winds Firefighting is the act of attempting to prevent the spread of and extinguish significant unwanted fires in buildings, … A Luxury yacht (also super-yacht, large yacht and mega-yacht) is a very expensive, privately owned, professionally … Johor or Johore is a Malaysian state, located in the southern portion of Peninsular Malaysia.

The word "Mollicutes" is derived from the Latin mollis (meaning "soft" or "pliable"), and cutis (meaning "skin"). Individuals are very small, typically only 0.2–0.3 μm (200-300 nm) in size and have a very small genome size. They vary in form, although most have sterols that make the cell membrane somewhat more rigid. Many are able to move about through gliding, but members of the genus Spiroplasma are helical and move by twisting. The best-known genus in the Mollicutes is Mycoplasma. Mollicutes are parasites of various animals and plants, living on or in the host's cells. Many cause diseases in humans, attaching to cells in the respiratory or urogenital tracts, particularly species of Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma. Phytoplasma and Spiroplasma are plant pathogens associated with insect vectors. Whereas formerly the trivial name "mycoplasma" has commonly denoted any member of the class Mollicutes, it now refers exclusively to a member of the genus Mycoplasma. Analysis of the genomes of mycoplasmas gives solid support for the hypothesis that mycoplasmas have developed from Gram-positive bacteria by a process of reductive evolution. By adopting a parasitic mode of life with use of nutrients from their hosts, mycoplasmas were able to reduce their genetic material considerably. On the other hand, mycoplasma lost the genes for many assimilative processes. Thus, Mycoplasma possibly became the smallest self-replicating organism in nature. Mycoplasma genitalium, with 580,000 base pairs, has an especially small genome size. Some phytoplasmas also have a very small genome size. The genera with the smallest genome are considered to be phylogenetically the most "recent" mollicutes. To maintain their parasitic mode of life the mollicutes have developed rather sophisticated mechanisms to colonize their hosts and resist the host immune system.[3] The classification of the Mollicutes has always been difficult. The individuals are tiny, and being parasites, they have to be cultivated on special media. Until now, many species could not be isolated at all. In the beginning, whether they were fungi, viruses, or bacteria was not clear. Also, the resemblance to L-forms was confusing. At first, all members of the class Mollicutes were generally named "mycoplasma" or pleuropneumonia-like organism (PPLO). Mollicutes other than some members of genus Mycoplasma were still unidentified. The first species of Mycoplasma/Mollicutes, that could be isolated was Mycoplasma mycoides. This bacterium was cultivated by Nocard and Roux in 1898.[4] In 1956, D.G. Edward and E.A. Freundt made a first proposal for classifying and naming PPLOs. They left undecided, however, whether they belong to the bacteria (prokaryotes, in 1956 called "Schizomycetes") or to the eukaryotes. As type species (name-giving species) of the PPLOs/mycoplasmas, Edward and Freundt proposed Mycoplasma mycoides, being the causative organism of bovine pleuropneumonia and referring to the pleuropneumonia-like organisms. Until then, Mycoplasma mycoides was known as Asterococcus mycoides, but later that name was not recognized as valid. In their publication of 1956, they described 15 species of Mycoplasma.[5] In 1967 the class Mollicutes, containing the order Mycoplasmatales, was proposed by the Subcommittee on Taxonomy of the Mycoplasmata.[1] Now, the name Mycoplasma should exclusively be used for members of the genus Mycoplasma, rather than the use as a trivial name for any mollicute. As the trivial name has been used in literature for a long time, this is yet not always the case. Traditionally, the taxonomy of bacteria was based on similarities and differences in morphology (Linnaean taxonomy). In 1962, R.G.E. Murray proposed to divide the kingdom Bacteria into three divisions (= phyla) on the basis of the cell wall types: Gram-positive "Firmacutes", with a thicker cell wall and more peptidoglycan (the name was later changed in "Firmicutes"), and For classification and nomenclature of Mollicutes, there are special rules, which are maintained by the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP) Subcommittee on the Taxonomy of Mollicutes (formerly the International Committee on Systematic Bacteriology (ICSB) Subcommittee on taxonomy of Mycoplasmatales).[8] Traditionally, Mollicutes taxonomy has been based on serology and phenotypic characteristics. However, most modern classifications are based on DNA or RNA sequences, especially 16S rRNA sequences[9] (see Figure). The results of Mollicutes phylogenetic analyses have been controversial. Some taxonomists place them in Firmicutes, others in Tenericutes. Woese et al. suggested that the Mollicutes might have been derived from different branches of bacteria. They concluded, that the Mollicutes are not a phylogenetically coherent group and therefore do not form a distinct higher level taxon. Instead, they cluster within Gram-positive bacteria of the phylum Firmicutes.[10] The results of molecular phylogenetic analyses have partly depend on the chosen molecular marker, like rRNA, elongation factor or another protein.[11] Phylogenetic trees based on phosphoglycerate kinase (Pgk) amino acid sequences' indicated a monophyletic origin for the Mollicutes within the Firmicutes.[12] An early edition of Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology placed class Mollicutes within phylum Firmicutes,[13][14] whereas in the announced 2nd edition, they are moved to a separate phylum Tenericutes.[15][16][17] The change is motivated by "their unique phenotypic properties, in particular the lack of rigid cell walls, and the general low support by alternative markers".[11] In the Taxonomic Outline of Bacteria and Archaea (TOBA Release 7.7), March 2007, the Mollicutes are a class in the phylum Firmicutes.[18] 2. Bacteria – Bacteria constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria have a number of shapes, ranging from spheres to rods, Bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on Earth, and are present in most of its habitats. Bacteria inhabit soil, water, acidic hot springs, radioactive waste, Bacteria also live in symbiotic and parasitic relationships with plants and animals. Most bacteria have not been characterised, and only half of the bacterial phyla have species that can be grown in the laboratory. The study of bacteria is known as bacteriology, a branch of microbiology, There are typically 40 million bacterial cells in a gram of soil and a million bacterial cells in a millilitre of fresh water. There are approximately 5×1030 bacteria on Earth, forming a biomass which exceeds that of all plants, Bacteria are vital in many stages of the nutrient cycle by recycling nutrients such as the fixation of nitrogen from the atmosphere. The nutrient cycle includes the decomposition of bodies and bacteria are responsible for the putrefaction stage in this process. In March 2013, data reported by researchers in October 2012, was published and it was suggested that bacteria thrive in the Mariana Trench, which with a depth of up to 11 kilometres is the deepest known part of the oceans. Other researchers reported related studies that microbes thrive inside rocks up to 580 metres below the sea floor under 2.6 kilometres of ocean off the coast of the northwestern United States. According to one of the researchers, You can find microbes everywhere—theyre extremely adaptable to conditions, the vast majority of the bacteria in the body are rendered harmless by the protective effects of the immune system, though many are beneficial particularly in the gut flora. However several species of bacteria are pathogenic and cause diseases, including cholera, syphilis, anthrax, leprosy. The most common fatal diseases are respiratory infections, with tuberculosis alone killing about 2 million people per year. In developed countries, antibiotics are used to treat infections and are also used in farming, making antibiotic resistance a growing problem. Once regarded as constituting the class Schizomycetes, bacteria are now classified as prokaryotes. Unlike cells of animals and other eukaryotes, bacterial cells do not contain a nucleus and these evolutionary domains are called Bacteria and Archaea. The ancestors of modern bacteria were unicellular microorganisms that were the first forms of life to appear on Earth, for about 3 billion years, most organisms were microscopic, and bacteria and archaea were the dominant forms of life. In 2008, fossils of macroorganisms were discovered and named as the Francevillian biota, however, gene sequences can be used to reconstruct the bacterial phylogeny, and these studies indicate that bacteria diverged first from the archaeal/eukaryotic lineage. Bacteria were also involved in the second great evolutionary divergence, that of the archaea, here, eukaryotes resulted from the entering of ancient bacteria into endosymbiotic associations with the ancestors of eukaryotic cells, which were themselves possibly related to the Archaea 3. Micrometer – Micrometers are usually, but not always, in the form of calipers, which is why micrometer caliper is another common name. The spindle is a very accurately machined screw and the object to be measured is placed between the spindle and the anvil, the spindle is moved by turning the ratchet knob or thimble until the object to be measured is lightly touched by both the spindle and the anvil. Micrometers are also used in telescopes or microscopes to measure the apparent diameter of celestial bodies or microscopic objects, the micrometer used with a telescope was invented about 1638 by William Gascoigne, an English astronomer. Colloquially the word micrometer is often shortened to mike or mic, the word micrometer is a neoclassical coinage from Greek micros, meaning small, and metron, meaning measure. The Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary says that English got it from French, neither the metre nor the micrometre nor the micrometer as we know them today existed at that time. However, the people of that time did have much need for, and interest in, the word was no doubt coined in reference to this endeavor, even if it did not refer specifically to its present-day senses. In 1844 details of Whitworths workshop micrometer were published and this was described as having a strong frame of cast iron, the opposite ends of which were two highly finished steel cylinders, which traversed longitudinally by action of screws. The ends of the cylinders where they met was of hemispherical shape, one screw was fitted with a wheel graduated to measure to the ten thousandth of an inch. His object was to furnish ordinary mechanics with an instrument which, the micrometer caliper was introduced to the mass market in anglophone countries by Brown & Sharpe in 1867, allowing the penetration of the instruments use into the average machine shop. Brown & Sharpe were inspired by earlier devices, one of them being Palmers design. In 1888 Edward W. Morley added to the precision of micrometric measurements, each type of micrometer caliper can be fitted with specialized anvils and spindle tips for particular measuring tasks. For example, the anvil may be shaped in the form of a segment of screw thread, in the form of a v-block, universal micrometer sets come with interchangeable anvils, such as flat, spherical, spline, disk, blade, point, and knife-edge. The term universal micrometer may also refer to a type of micrometer whose frame has modular components, allowing one micrometer to function as outside mic, depth mic, step mic, blade micrometers have a matching set of narrow tips. They allow, for example, the measuring of a narrow o-ring groove, pitch-diameter micrometers have a matching set of thread-shaped tips for measuring the pitch diameter of screw threads. Limit mics have two anvils and two spindles, and are used like a snap gauge, the part being checked must pass through the first gap and must stop at the second gap in order to be within specification. The two gaps accurately reflect the top and bottom of the tolerance range, bore micrometer, typically a three-anvil head on a micrometer base used to accurately measure inside diameters. Tube micrometers have a cylindrical anvil positioned perpendicularly to a spindle and is used to measure the thickness of tubes. Micrometer stops are micrometer heads that are mounted on the table of a milling machine, bedways of a lathe, or other machine tool 4. Phytoplasma – Phytoplasmas are obligate bacterial parasites of plant phloem tissue and of the insect vectors that are involved in their plant-to-plant transmission. Phytoplasmas were discovered in 1967 by Japanese scientists who termed them mycoplasma-like organisms or MLOs, since their discovery, phytoplasmas have resisted all attempts at in vitro culture in any cell-free medium, routine cultivation in an artificial medium thus remains a major challenge. Although phytoplasmas have recently reported to be grown in a specific artificial medium. Phytoplasmas are characterized by the lack of a wall, a pleiomorphic or filamentous shape, a diameter normally less than 1 μm. Phytoplasmas are pathogens of important plants, including coconut, sugarcane. Phytoplasmas are most prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions and they are transmitted from plant to plant by vectors in which they both survive and replicate. Viral and phytoplasmic infections share some symptoms, Phytoplasmas are Mollicutes, which are bound by a triple-layered membrane, rather than a cell wall. The phytoplasma cell membranes studied to date usually contain a single immunodominant protein of unknown function that constitutes most of the protein in the membrane, a typical phytoplasma is pleiomorphic or filamentous in shape and is less than 1 μm in diameter. Like other prokaryotes, phytoplasmic DNA is distributed throughout the cytoplasm, Phytoplasmas can infect and cause various symptoms in more than 700 plant species. One characteristic symptom is abnormal floral organ development including phyllody, phytoplasma-harboring flowering plants may nevertheless be sterile. The expression of genes involved in maintaining the apical meristem or in the development of organs is altered in the morphologically affected floral organs of phytoplasma-infected plants. These symptoms may be attributable to stress caused by the rather than a specific pathogenetic process. Many phytoplasma-infected plants develop a bushy or witches broom appearance due to changes in their growth patterns. Most plants exhibit apical dominance but infection can trigger the proliferation of auxiliary shoots, such symptoms are actually useful in the commercial production of poinsettias. Infection triggers more axillary shoot production, the plants thus produce more than a single flower. Many plant pathogens produce virulence factors that modulate or interfere with normal host processes to the benefit of the pathogens. In 2009, a protein, termed “tengu-su inducer”, was identified from a phytoplasma causing yellowing of onions. TENGU induces characteristic symptoms, including witches’ broom and dwarfism, transgenic expression of TENGU in Arabidopsis plants induced sterility in male and female flowers 5. Trivial name – In chemistry, a trivial name is a nonsystematic name for a chemical substance. That is, the name is not recognized according to the rules of any system of chemical nomenclature such as IUPAC inorganic or IUPAC organic nomenclature. A trivial name is not a name and is usually a common name. Generally, trivial names are not useful in describing the properties of the thing being named. Properties such as the structure of a chemical compound are not indicated. And, in cases, trivial names can be ambiguous or will carry different meanings in different industries or in different geographic regions. On the other hand, systematic names can be so convoluted, as a result, a limited number of trivial chemical names are retained names, an accepted part of the nomenclature. Trivial names often arise in the language, they may come from historic usages in, for example. Many trivial names pre-date the institution of formal naming conventions, all elements that have been isolated have trivial names. In scientific documents, international treaties, patents and legal definitions and this need is satisfied by systematic names. One such system, established by the International Union of Pure, other systems have been developed by the American Chemical Society, the International Organization for Standardization, and the World Health Organization. However, chemists still use names that are not systematic because they are traditional or because they are more convenient than the systematic names. The word trivial, often used in a sense, was intended to mean commonplace. In addition to names, chemists have constructed semi-trivial names by appending a standard symbol to a trivial stem. Some trivial and semi-trivial names are so used that they have been officially adopted by IUPAC. Traditional names of elements are trivial, some originating in alchemy, IUPAC has accepted these names, but has also defined systematic names of elements that have not yet been prepared. It has adopted a procedure by which the scientists who are credited with preparing an element can propose a new name, once the IUPAC has accepted such a name, it replaces the systematic name. Nine elements were known by the Middle Ages – gold, silver, tin, mercury, copper, lead, iron, sulfur, and carbon 6. Eukaryote – A eukaryote is any organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other organelles enclosed within membranes. Eukaryotes belong to the taxon Eukarya or Eukaryota, the presence of a nucleus gives eukaryotes their name, which comes from the Greek εὖ and κάρυον. Eukaryotic cells also contain other membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria and the Golgi apparatus, in addition, plants and algae contain chloroplasts. Eukaryotic organisms may be unicellular or multicellular, only eukaryotes form multicellular organisms consisting of many kinds of tissue made up of different cell types. Eukaryotes can reproduce asexually through mitosis and sexually through meiosis and gamete fusion. In mitosis, one cell divides to produce two identical cells. In meiosis, DNA replication is followed by two rounds of division to produce four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. These act as sex cells resulting from genetic recombination during meiosis, the domain Eukaryota appears to be monophyletic, and so makes up one of the three domains of life. The two other domains, Bacteria and Archaea, are prokaryotes and have none of the above features, eukaryotes represent a tiny minority of all living things. However, due to their larger size, eukaryotes collective worldwide biomass is estimated at about equal to that of prokaryotes. Eukaryotes first developed approximately 1. 6–2.1 billion years ago, in 1905 and 1910, the Russian biologist Konstantin Mereschkowsky argued three things about the origin of nucleated cells. Firstly, plastids were reduced cyanobacteria in a symbiosis with a non-photosynthetic host, secondly, the host had earlier in evolution formed by symbiosis between an amoeba-like host and a bacteria-like cell that formed the nucleus. Thirdly, plants inherited photosynthesis from cyanobacteria, the split between the prokaryotes and eukaryotes was introduced in the 1960s. The concept of the eukaryote has been attributed to the French biologist Edouard Chatton, the terms prokaryote and eukaryote were more definitively reintroduced by the Canadian microbiologist Roger Stanier and the Dutch-American microbiologist C. B. van Niel in 1962. In his 1938 work Titres et Travaux Scientifiques, Chatton had proposed the two terms, calling the bacteria prokaryotes and organisms with nuclei in their cells eukaryotes. However he mentioned this in one paragraph, and the idea was effectively ignored until Chattons statement was rediscovered by Stanier. In 1967, Lynn Margulis provided microbiological evidence for endosymbiosis as the origin of chloroplasts and mitochondria in cells in her paper. In the 1970s, Carl Woese explored microbial phylogenetics, studying variations in 16S ribosomal RNA and this helped to uncover the origin of the eukaryotes and the symbiogenesis of two important eukaryote organelles, mitochondria and chloroplasts 7. Phosphoglycerate kinase – Phosphoglycerate kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transfer of a phosphate group from 1, 3-bisphosphoglycerate to ADP producing 3-phosphoglycerate and ATP. Like all kinases it is a transferase, PGK is a major enzyme used in glycolysis, in the first ATP-generating step of the glycolytic pathway. In gluconeogenesis, the reaction catalyzed by PGK proceeds in the direction, generating ADP and 1. In humans, two isozymes of PGK have been so far identified, PGK1 and PGK2, PGK is present in all living organisms as one of the two ATP-generating enzymes in glycolysis. In the gluconeogenic pathway, PGK catalyzes the reverse reaction, under biochemical standard conditions, the glycolytic direction is favored. In the Calvin cycle in photosynthetic organisms, PGK catalyzes the phosphorylation of 3-PG, producing 1, 3-BPG and ADP, as part of the reactions that regenerate ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate. PGK has been reported to exhibit thiol reductase activity on plasmin, leading to angiostatin formation, the enzyme was also shown to participate in DNA replication and repair in mammal cell nuclei. The human isozyme PGK2, which is expressed during spermatogenesis, was shown to be essential for sperm function in mice. Click on genes, proteins and metabolites below to link to respective articles, PGK is found in all living organisms and its sequence has been highly conserved throughout evolution. The enzyme exists as a 415-residue monomer containing two nearly equal-sized domains that correspond to the N- and C-termini of the protein, 3-phosphoglycerate binds to the N-terminal, while the nucleotide substrates, MgATP or MgADP, bind to the C-terminal domain of the enzyme. This extended two-domain structure is associated with large-scale hinge-bending conformational changes, the two domains of the protein are separated by a cleft and linked by two alpha-helices. At the core of each domain is a 6-stranded parallel beta-sheet surrounded by alpha helices, the two lobes are capable of folding independently, consistent with the presence of intermediates on the folding pathway with a single domain folded. Though the binding of either substrate triggers a change, only through the binding of both substrates does domain closure occur, leading to the transfer of the phosphate group. Magnesium ions are complexed to the phosphate groups the nucleotide substrates of PGK. It is known that in the absence of magnesium, no enzyme activity occurs and it is theorized that the ion may also encourage domain closure when PGK has bound both substrates. Without either substrate bound, PGK exists in an open conformation, then, in the case of the forward glycolytic reaction, the beta-phosphate of ADP initiates a nucleophilic attack on the 1-phosphate of 1, 3-BPG. The Lys219 on the enzyme guides the group to the substrate. In the glycolytic pathyway,1, 3-BPG is the donor and has a high phosphoryl-transfer potential 8. Phenotype – A phenotype is the composite of an organisms observable characteristics or traits, such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, behavior, and products of behavior. A phenotype results from the expression of a genetic code, its genotype, as well as the influence of environmental factors. When two or more clearly different phenotypes exist in the population of a species, the species is called polymorphic. A well-documented polymorphism is Labrador Retriever coloring, while the color depends on many genes, it is clearly seen in the environment as yellow, black. This genotype-phenotype distinction was proposed by Wilhelm Johannsen in 1911 to make clear the difference between an organisms heredity and what that heredity produces, the distinction is similar to that proposed by August Weismann, who distinguished between germ plasm and somatic cells. The term phenotype has sometimes incorrectly used as a shorthand for phenotypic difference from wild type. Despite its seemingly straightforward definition, the concept of the phenotype has hidden subtleties and it may seem that anything dependent on the genotype is a phenotype, including molecules such as RNA and proteins. It may seem that this goes beyond the intentions of the concept with its focus on the organism in itself. Either way, the term phenotype includes traits or characteristics that can be visible by some technical procedure. A notable extension to this idea is the presence of molecules or metabolites that are generated by organisms from chemical reactions of enzymes. Another extension adds behavior to the phenotype, since behaviors are also observable characteristics, behavioral phenotypes include cognitive, personality, and behavioral patterns. Some behavioral phenotypes may characterize psychiatric disorders or syndromes, phenotypic variation is a fundamental prerequisite for evolution by natural selection. It is the organism as a whole that contributes to the next generation. Without phenotypic variation, there would be no evolution by natural selection, the plant Hieracium umbellatum is found growing in two different habitats in Sweden. These habitats alternate along the coast of Sweden and the habitat that the seeds of Hieracium umbellatum land in, the concept of phenotype can be extended to variations below the level of the gene that affect an organisms fitness. For example, silent mutations that do not change the amino acid sequence of a gene may change the frequency of guanine-cytosine base pairs. The term extended phenotype refers to the idea that a phenotype is not restricted to biological processes, the concept generalized by Richard Dawkins explains that phenotype includes all the influence a gene has on the environment and other organisms. ”There are three types of extended phenotypes. The first describes an organism using architectural constructions to modify their environment for living, the most common example given by Dawkins is the beaver 9. L-form bacteria – L-form bacteria, also known as L-phase bacteria, L-phase variants, and cell wall-deficient bacteria, are strains of bacteria that lack cell walls. They were first isolated in 1935 by Emmy Klieneberger-Nobel, who named them L-forms after the Lister Institute in London where she was working. Some parasitic species of bacteria, such as mycoplasma, also lack a cell wall, bacterial morphology is determined by the cell wall. Since the L-form has no wall, its morphology is different from that of the strain of bacteria from which it is derived. Typical L-form cells are spheres or spheroids, for example, L-forms of the rod-shaped bacterium Bacillus subtilis appear round when viewed by phase contrast microscopy or by transmission electron microscopy. Although L-forms can develop from Gram-positive as well as from Gram-negative bacteria, in a Gram stain test, the cell wall is important for cell division, which, in most bacteria, occurs by binary fission. This process usually requires a wall and components of the bacterial cytoskeleton such as FtsZ. The ability of L-form bacteria to grow and divide in the absence of both of these structures is highly unusual, and may represent a form of division that was important in early forms of life. This novel mode of division seems to involve the extension of thin protrusions from the cells surface, the lack of cell wall in L-forms means that division is disorganised, giving rise to a variety of cell sizes, from very tiny to very big. L-forms can be generated in the laboratory from many species that usually have cell walls. This is done by inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis with antibiotics or treating the cells with lysozyme, the L-forms are generated in a culture medium that is the same osmolarity as the bacterial cytosol, which prevents cell lysis by osmotic shock. Some studies have identified mutations that occur, as these strains are derived from normal bacteria, one such point mutation is in an enzyme involved in the mevalonate pathway of lipid metabolism that increased the frequency of L-form formation 1, 000-fold. The reason for this effect is not known, but it is presumed that the increase is related to this role in making a lipid important in peptidoglycan synthesis. Another methodology of induction relies on nanotechnology and landscape ecology, microfluidics devices can be built in order to challenge peptidoglycan synthesis by extreme spatial confinement. The two extreme viewpoints on this question are that L-form bacteria are either laboratory curiosities of no significance or important. Research on L-form bacteria is continuing, the formation of strains of bacteria lacking cell walls has also been proposed to be important in the acquisition of bacterial antibiotic resistance. L-form bacteria may be useful in research on early forms of life and these strains are being examined for possible uses in biotechnology as host strains for recombinant protein production. Here, the absence of a wall can allow production of large amounts of secreted proteins that would otherwise accumulate in the periplasmic space of bacteria 10. Microbiological culture – A microbiological culture, or microbial culture, is a method of multiplying microbial organisms by letting them reproduce in predetermined culture media under controlled laboratory conditions. Microbial cultures are used to determine the type of organism, its abundance in the sample being tested and it is one of the primary diagnostic methods of microbiology and used as a tool to determine the cause of infectious disease by letting the agent multiply in a predetermined medium. Furthermore, the culture is more generally used informally to refer to selectively growing a specific kind of microorganism in the lab. Microbial cultures are foundational and basic methods used extensively as a research tool in molecular biology. It is often essential to isolate a pure culture of microorganisms, a pure culture is a population of cells or multicellular organisms growing in the absence of other species or types. A pure culture may originate from a cell or single organism. For the purpose of gelling the microbial culture, the medium of agarose gel is used, agar is a gelatinous substance derived from seaweed. A cheap substitute for agar is guar gum, which can be used for the isolation, there are several types of bacterial culture methods that are selected based on the agent being cultured and the downstream use. One method of culture is liquid culture, in which the desired bacteria are suspended in a liquid nutrient medium, such as Luria Broth. This allows a scientist to grow up large amounts of bacteria for a variety of downstream applications, liquid cultures are ideal for preparation of an antimicrobial assay in which the experimenter inoculates liquid broth with bacteria and lets it grow overnight. Then they would take aliquots of the sample to test for the activity of a specific drug or protein. As an alternative, the microbiologist may decide to use static liquid cultures and these cultures are not shaken and they provide the microbes with an oxygen gradient. Microbiological cultures can be grown in petri dishes of differing sizes that have a layer of agar-based growth medium. Once the growth medium in the dish is inoculated with the desired bacteria. After the desired level of growth is achieved, agar plates can be stored upside down in a refrigerator for a period of time to keep bacteria for future experiments. There are a variety of additives that can be added to agar before it is poured into a plate, some types of bacteria can only grow in the presence of certain additives. This can also be used when creating engineered strains of a bacteria that contain an antibiotic-resistance gene, when the selected antibiotic is added to the agar, only bacterial cells containing the gene insert conferring resistance will be able to grow. This allows the researcher to select only the colonies that were successfully transformed, stab cultures are similar to agar plates, but are formed by solid agar in a test tube A micrometer (my-KROM-i-tər), sometimes known as a micrometer screw gauge, is a device incorporating a calibrated … Modern micrometer with a reading of 1.639 mm ± 0.005 mm.

He played college football at Ohio State. Pickett was selected with the 29th pick of the first round in the 2001 NFL Draft by the St. Louis Rams. He also played for the Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans. With the Packers, he beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV. Pickett was a consensus All-American selection, named one of the top 25 players in the country by the National Recruiting Advisor and earned All-State honors at Zephyrhills High. He recorded 119 tackles with seven sacks as a senior. Pickett was also a force for the Zephyrhills basketball team, averaging 10 points and 10 rebounds per game. He also was the school's first baseman on the baseball team until his senior season. Pickett played college football at Ohio State University from 1998 to 2000. He was a three-year starter and played both defensive tackle positions. Pickett played in every game as a true freshman and started the final nine games at right defensive tackle. He totaled 22 stops (17 solo), two sacks, and five tackles for loss. As a sophomore, Ryan started the whole season at right defensive tackle. He also was named All-Big Ten honorable mention with career-highs of 48 tackles (34 solo) and three sacks. In Pickett's junior season, he switched sides and played left defensive tackle. He totaled 39 tackles (21 solo), three sacks and two forced fumbles in 1999. After Pickett's junior season he chose to forgo his senior season and enter the NFL Draft. All values from Ohio State Pro Day, except for height and weight, which were measured at the NFL Combine[1][2] Pickett was selected with the 29th pick of the first round in the 2001 NFL Draft by the St. Louis Rams. On July 28, 2001, Pickett signed a five-year, $5.995 million contract with the Rams.[3] Pickett's contract includes a $2.615 million signing bonuses. His base salaries were $504,000 in 2001, $530,000 in 2002, $656,000 in 2003, $782,000 in 2004 and $908,000 in 2005.[4] In his rookie season with the Rams, Pickett took a backup role on the defensive front along with playing some special teams. He played 11 games during his rookie year with 19 tackles and half a sack. He helped the Rams into Super Bowl XXXVI, eventually to lose to the New England Patriots 17-20. In 2002, Pickett had a breakout year starting 14 games at left defensive tackle and finishing the season second on the team in tackles with 67 (45 solo). In 2003 and 2004 he maintained his above average play at the defensive tackle and nose tackle positions for the St. Louis Rams and was a vital part of their defense both in the regular season and in playoff contests. In 2005, Pickett had his highest statistical season to date. He started all 16 of the Rams games and racked up a career high 65 tackles (47 solo), which was the highest total for any defensive lineman in the NFL that season. After the 2005 season Pickett became a highly touted unrestricted free agent. On March 17, 2006, the Green Bay Packers signed Pickett to a four-year, $14-million free-agent contract.[5] In his first season with the Packers, Pickett started in all 16 of the Packers regular season games and collected 92 tackles (45 solo), one fumble recovery, and a career-best seven passes defensed. In 2007 Pickett played in 14 games (14 starts) and totaled 39 tackles and recorded his first sack as a Packer. In 2008, he had 48 tackles, started all 16 games, and registered 1.5 sacks and knocked away three passes. In 2009, Pickett accepted the new role to the sole nose tackle position with Dom Capers using the new 3-4 defense style. Pickett started 13 games with 33 tackles and 2 passes defended. On February 25, 2010, the Packers applied their Franchise Tag on Pickett, but eventually signed him to a 4-year, $28 million deal on March 12, 2010. With B. J. Raji gaining playing time, Pickett transition to defensive end as the Packers mostly used a 3-4 type defense but sometimes played defensive tackle during 4-3 scheme usages. During the 2010 year, Pickett played 14 games with 32 tackles, 1 sack, 1 pass defended, and 1 fumble recovery. Pickett trailed only Charles Woodson as the longest-tenured NFL player on the Packers' defense. He started and had two tackles in Super Bowl XLV but, more importantly, was instrumental in one of the game's biggest plays. On the first play of the fourth quarter, the Pittsburgh Steelers were trailing the Packers 21-17, but had a second-and-two at the Packers' 33-yard-line. Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall took a handoff and was immediately met in the backfield by Pickett. Pickett had Mendelhall wrapped up, allowing Clay Matthews to force a fumble by sandwiching Mendenhall between himself and Pickett. Packers' linebacker Desmond Bishop recovered the fumble and the Packers offense would march down the field to extend their lead to 28-17. The Packers would go on to a 31-25 victory, bringing Green Bay their first championship title in fourteen years.[6][7] In the 2011 season, Pickett continued his role at defensive end while B. J. Raji took over as the sole nose tackle. Pickett finished the year starting 14 games with 33 tackles and 2 passes defended. The Packers finished the season with a 15-1 record for an NFC North pennant, but lost to the New York Giants by a score of 20-37 in the divisional round. In the 2012 season, Pickett started all 16 games with 51 tackles and 1 pass defended. The Packers clinched another NFC North pennant with an 11-5 record, but lost in the divisional round to the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 31-45. In the 2013 season, the defensive line was marred by various injuries, as Pickett regained his role as the sole nose tackle while B. J. Raji played defensive end. Pickett played all 16 games at nose tackle with 19 tackles and 2 passes defended. The Packers clinched yet another NFC North pennant with an 8-7-1 record, but again lost to the 49ers 20-23 in the Wild Card round. In response of Louis Nix III going on injured reserve due to knee injuries, Pickett was signed by the Houston Texans on September 24, 2014.[8] Pickett made 13 starts with 20 tackles and 3 passes defended. Pickett's primary home is in San Diego, California, and he spends most of his time there when he's not in Green Bay or traveling with the team. He and his wife, Jennifer, are the parents to six children, the youngest of whom is six-years-old. In 2012, he formed The Ryan Pickett Foundation, which addresses issues in foster care by providing emotional and monetary relief to children who were placed within the foster care system. Proceeds are split equally between The American Foundation of Counseling Services of Green Bay and Casa de Amparo in San Diego.[10] Through his foundation, Pickett hosted his first Celebrity Golf Classic in 2013 at the Barona Creek Golf Course in Lakeside, California, just outside San Diego. His celebrity guests included Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews, Marshall Faulk and Sterling Sharpe among others.[11] 1. Green Bay Packers – The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers compete in the National Football League as a club of the leagues National Football Conference North division. They are also the third-oldest franchise in the NFL, organized and it is the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional sports team based in the United States. Home games are played at Lambeau Field, the Packers are the last vestige of small town teams common in the NFL during the 1920s and 1930s. Founded in 1919 by Earl Curly Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun, between 1919 and 1920, the Packers competed against other semi-pro clubs from around Wisconsin and the Midwest. They joined the American Professional Football Association, the forerunner of todays NFL, the Packers have won 13 league championships, the most in NFL history, with nine NFL titles before the Super Bowl era and four Super Bowl victories. They won the first two Super Bowls in 1967 and 1968 and were the only NFL team to defeat the American Football League prior to the AFL–NFL merger. The Vince Lombardi Trophy is named after the Packers head coach of the same name and their two further Super Bowl wins came in 1997 and 2011. The Packers are long-standing adversaries of the Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, and Detroit Lions, the Bears–Packers rivalry is one of the oldest in NFL history, dating back to 1921. The Green Bay Packers were founded on August 11,1919 by former high-school football rivals Earl Curly Lambeau, Lambeau solicited funds for uniforms from his employer, the Indian Packing Company. He was given $500 for uniforms and equipment, on the condition that the team be named for its sponsor, the Green Bay Packers have played in their original city longer than any other team in the NFL. On August 27,1921, the Packers were granted a franchise in the new pro football league that had been formed the previous year. Financial troubles plagued the team and the franchise was forfeited within the year, before Lambeau found new financial backers and these backers, known as the Hungry Five, formed the Green Bay Football Corporation. After a near-miss in 1927, Lambeaus squad claimed the Packers first NFL title in 1929 with an undefeated 12–0–1 campaign, among the many impressive accomplishments of these years was the Packers streak of 29 consecutive home games without defeat, an NFL record which still stands. The arrival of end Don Hutson from Alabama in 1935 gave Lambeau, credited with inventing pass patterns, Hutson would lead the league in receptions eight seasons and spur the Packers to NFL championships in 1936,1939 and 1944. An iron man, Hutson played both ways, leading the league in interceptions as a safety in 1940, Hutson claimed 18 NFL records when he retired in 1945, many of which still stand. In 1951, his number 14 was the first to be retired by the Packers, after Hutsons retirement, Lambeau could not stop the Packers slide. He purchased a large lodge near Green Bay for team members, rockwood Lodge was the home of the 1946-1949 Packers, though the 1947 and 1948 seasons produced a record of 12-10-1, and 1949 was even worse at 3-9 2. Ohio State Buckeyes football – Ohio State has played their home games at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio since 1922. Football was introduced to the university by George Cole and Alexander S. Lilley in 1890, Ohio State was a football independent from 1890 to 1901 before joining the Ohio Athletic Conference as a charter member in 1902. The Buckeyes won two conference championships while members of the OAC and in 1912 became members of the Big Ten Conference, Ohio State won their first national championship in 1942 under head coach Paul Brown. Following World War II, Ohio State saw sparse success on the field with three separate coaches and in 1951 hired Woody Hayes to coach the team. Under Hayes, Ohio State won over 200 total games,13 Big Ten championships and five national championships, following Hayes dismissal in 1978, Earle Bruce and later John Cooper coached the team to a combined seven conference championships between them.

OSUs first home game took place at 2,30 p. m. on November 1,1890, the Ohio State University played the University of Wooster on this site, which was then called Recreation Park. Just east of historic German Village, the park occupied the side of Schiller between Ebner and Jaeger in what is now Schumacher Place. The weather was perfect, and the crowd cheered loudly, nonetheless, OSU lost to Wooster, 64–0. Wooster, physically fit for the game, showed OSU that training is critical to winning, thus, the tradition of training continues. Over the next eight years, under a number of coaches, the played to a cumulative record of 31 wins,39 losses. The first game against the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor, was a 34–0 loss in 1897, a year that saw the low point in Buckeye football history with a 1–7–1 record.

History of the St. Louis Rams – The professional American football franchise now known as the Los Angeles Rams played in St. Louis, Missouri, as the St. Louis Rams from the 1995 through the 2015 seasons. The Rams franchise relocated from Los Angeles to St. Louis in 1995 and their last game played at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis was against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on December 17,2015, which they won, 31–23. The Rams last game as a St. Louis-based club was on January 3,2016, against the San Francisco 49ers at Levis Stadium, but the overall mediocrity of the Cardinals, combined with stadium issues, caused game attendance to dwindle. And once again the Bidwills, the family owned the Cardinals. The cities they looked at included Baltimore, Phoenix, New York City, nonetheless, Cardinals fans were unhappy at losing their team, and Bill Bidipll, fearing for his safety, stayed away from several of the 1987 home games. Their last home game was on December 13,1987, in which the Cardinals won 27–24 over the New York Giants in front of 29,623 fans on a late Sunday afternoon. Not long after the 1987 season, Bidipll agreed to move to the Phoenix area on a deal with state and local officials. They planned to play at Arizona State Universitys Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe on a basis while a new stadium was being built. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, the savings and loan crisis derailed financing for the stadium, prior to the Rams 1979 Super Bowl season, owner Carroll Rosenbloom drowned in an accident. His widow, Georgia Frontiere, inherited 70% ownership of the team, Frontiere fired her step-son, Steve Rosenbloom, and assumed total control of the franchise. As had been planned prior to Carroll Rosenblooms death, the Rams moved from their home at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to Anaheim Stadium in nearby Orange County in 1980. Also, Southern Californias population patterns were changing, there was growth in L. A. s affluent suburbs. Anaheim Stadium was originally built in 1966 as the home of the California Angels Major League Baseball franchise, to accommodate the Rams move, the ballpark was reconfigured with luxury suites and enclosed to accommodate crowds of about 65,000 for football. In 1982 the Coliseum was occupied by the Los Angeles Raiders, the combined effect of these two factors was to force the Rams traditional fan base to be split between two teams. Making matters even worse, at time the Rams were unsuccessful on the field. Although it was not apparent at the time, the Rams loss in the 1989 NFC Championship Game marked the end of an era, the Rams would not have another winning season in Los Angeles for the remainder of the century, and beyond. The first half of the 1990s featured four straight 10-loss seasons, no playoff appearances, the return of Chuck Knox as head coach would not boost the Rams fortunes. Knoxs run-oriented offense brought about the end of offensive coordinator Ernie Zampeses tenure in 1993, general manager John Shaw was perceived by some to continually squander NFL Draft picks on sub-standard talent 5. 2005 NFL season – The 2005 NFL season was the 86th regular season of the National Football League. Regular season play was held from September 8,2005 to January 1,2006, the playoffs began on January 7. This also marked the first time that a Sixth-seeded team, who by the nature of their seeding would play every game on the road, would advance to and win the Super Bowl. The season formally concluded with the Pro Bowl, the leagues all-star game, at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu and this marked the final season that ABC held the rights to televise Monday Night Football after thirty-six years of airing the series. When the TV contracts were renewed near the end of the season, NBC bought the right to televise Sunday Night Football, marking the first time that the network broadcast NFL games since Super Bowl XXXII in 1998. Meanwhile, CBS and Fox renewed their contracts to the American Football Conference. The game drew an NFL regular season record of 103,467 paid fans and it was a home game for the Cardinals, mostly because the team rarely sold out at their then-home field, Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona. This season was the last year that the Cardinals played at Sun Devil Stadium, the Saints first home game on September 18 against the New York Giants was moved to Giants Stadium on September 19. The impromptu Monday Night doubleheader with the already scheduled was a success. As a result of the doubleheader, the NFL designated its second weekend, September 18 and 19, as Hurricane Relief Weekend. The Saints remaining home games were split between the Alamodome in San Antonio and Louisiana State Universitys Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Being forced to travel to 13 of their 16 games and practice in substandard facilities and conditions in San Antonio, the Saints finished 3–13, their worst season since 1999. The last NFL team to abandon their city during a season was the hapless 1952 Dallas Texans. The Chiefs won the game, 30–20, and became the first visiting team to travel, since the game was planned for Sunday afternoon, it is one of the few times in history that the Dolphins wore their road jerseys in a home game played at night. The horse-collar tackle, in which a defender grabs inside the back or side of a shoulder pads. Peel-back blocks below the waist and from the back are now illegal, unnecessary roughness would be called for blocks away from the play on punters or kickers, similar to the same protection quarterbacks have after interceptions. When time is stopped by officials prior to the snap for any reason while time is in, previously, the play-clock would be reset to 25 seconds. During field goal and extra point attempts, the team will be penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct if it calls consecutive timeouts in an attempt to ice the kicker 8. 2014 NFL season – The 2014 NFL season was the 95th season in the history of the National Football League. The 2014 league year began at 4 pm EST on March 11, the per-team salary cap was set at US$133 million, a $10 million increase from the previous year. A total of 471 players were eligible for some form of free agency at the beginning of the free agency period, in addition, a number of highly paid players were released after the start of the league year to allow their teams to regain space under the salary cap. These players were defensive end Greg Hardy, tight end Jimmy Graham, placekicker Nick Folk, players given the transition tag were Jason Worilds and Alex Mack. Mack signed a five-year, $42 million offer sheet with the Jacksonville Jaguars which included $26 million in guaranteed money, the Browns matched the offer and retained Mack who became the leagues highest paid center. One restricted free agent switched teams in 2014, wide receiver Andrew Hawkins of the Bengals was signed by the Browns, restricted free agents are players with three or fewer seasons in the league whose contracts have expired. Teams may tender contract offers which allow them to match offers from other teams, Hawkins was tendered at the minimum level, which means the Bengals would not receive any draft compensation. The Browns signed him to a $13.6 million, four-year offer, Saints safety Rafael Bush signed an offer from the Falcons, but the Saints retained Bush by matching the offer. The 2014 NFL Draft was held May 8–10,2014, in New York City, the draft process began with the NFL Scouting Combine, where draft-eligible players were evaluated by team personnel, which was held in Indianapolis on February 19–25. The draft included a number of 98 non-seniors. In the draft the Houston Texans made University of South Carolina defensive end, there was discussion leading up to the draft as to the future of the event in New York City, where it had been held since 1965. Given the increased interest in the draft over the past decade, there was a belief that the event may have outgrown Radio City Music Hall, the possibility of extending the draft to four days was also being discussed. On October 2,2014, Auditorium Theatre in Chicago was announced as the site for the following years draft. Training camps for the 2014 season were held in late July through August, teams may start training camp no earlier than 15 days before the teams first scheduled preseason game. Prior to the start of the season, each team played four preseason exhibition games. The preseason schedule got underway with the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game on Sunday evening, the Hall of Fame game is a traditional part of the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame induction weekend celebrating new Hall of Fame members. It was played at Fawcett Stadium which is located adjacent to the Hall of Fame building in Canton, the game, which was televised in the U. S. on NBC, featured the New York Giants and Buffalo Bills, with the Giants winning 17–13. The others who were inducted into the Hall of Fame are linebacker Derrick Brooks, punter Ray Guy, defensive end Claude Humphrey, offensive tackle Walter Jones, the 65-game preseason schedule wrapped up on Thursday, August 28, a week before the start of the regular season 9.

Tackle (football move) – Most forms of football have a move known as a tackle. The primary and important purposes of tackling are to dispossess an opponent of the ball, the word is used in some contact variations of football to describe the act of physically holding or wrestling a player to the ground. In others, it simply one or more methods of contesting for possession of the ball. It can therefore be used as both a defensive or attacking move, in Middle Dutch, the verb tacken meant to grab or to handle. By the 18th century, a use was applied to harnesses or equipment used with horses. Modern use in football comes from the sport of rugby. In any such case, the ball becomes dead, the down is over, a tackle is known as a quarterback sack when the quarterback is tackled behind the line of scrimmage while attempting to throw a pass. A tackle for loss indicates a tackle that causes a loss of yardage for the running back or wide receiver. When a player who does not have the ball is taken down it is referred to as a block. Tackles can also be made by grabbing the ball carriers jersey, as mentioned above, the referee can declare that a play is dead if the ball carriers forward progress has been stopped, even if he has not actually been taken to the ground. To protect players from potentially catastrophic injury, there are restrictions on tackles. At no time may a defensive player tackle a player by grabbing the facemask of their helmet, doing so incurs a 15-yard penalty. A similar penalty is assessed to any player attempting to contact with his helmet against another opponents helmet. Grabbing a ball carrier by the pads behind his neck and pulling him down is known as a horse collar, a method which has been made illegal at all levels of American football. However, in the NFL a player can continue forward for one step, place kickers and punters are afforded an even greater protection from being tackled. Once the play is ruled complete, no contact is permitted, a player who makes contact with an opponent after the play is charged with unnecessary roughness and his team is assessed a 15-yard penalty. However, a player who plays on the line can block below the knees as long the block is five yards of the line.

I can’t even begin to explain how out of control our April & May are turning out to be. Bennett and I are trying to grow and groom our own businesses all while traveling for family, holidays, birthdays, weddings and business. IT IS NUTS. If this is how other people live, kudos to them and can I please get some pointers on how to get the proper amount of sleep? Anywho. We had such an amazing weekend. Saturday thru Monday was jam packed with travel, exploration, family, besties, history, learning, sunshine and celebration. I thought I’d split the picture sharing into two different days because we took too many pictures and I didn’t want to overload one post with them. I went from being a bad friend to being a slightly-less bad friend on Saturday when we finally made it to my BFF Jessie’s house. Jess has only owned her own home for FOREVER now and I haven’t seen it until now. Yes, I suck. I can come up with lots of reasons and excuses but really I just didn’t make the time to see her. Sorry Jess! Your house is great and I loved seeing you! I’m not sure why, but my beautiful friend refused to be in pictures. So I don’t have any actual photograph evidence that she was there with me but I promise that we were together. She even was super sweet and took us out to get Easter egg decorating supplies so we could make them with Louis. Target had these ah-dorable pirate decorations that were necessary to get and use. On Sunday, we took our time getting ready and then headed into DC. Jessie lives a little under two hours away from the heart of our nation’s capital and we arrived just in time to enjoy some lunch at some swanky place with Eric & Julie. It was delicious. And really good to see the newlyweds! I’ve been to DC twice in my life. Once was for David’s inauguration and the second was for E&J’s wedding. During both of those trips, I somehow managed to see nothing besides the buildings we were doing things in. I never seem to schedule vacations with extra swing time to explore the places we are visiting. This time around, I was determined to actually SEE the city. We drove past nearly all of the monuments and historical landmarks and eventually parked near the Jefferson Memorial and paid it a visit. It was lovely. We picked the best weekend ever to be there. It wasn’t super crowded, I think because of the holiday, and the weather was awesome. We weren’t cold. We weren’t sweating. We were perfect. And when we did get a little hot from walking around in the bright sunshine, a breeze would hit us and cool us right now. It was like we ordered it up that way. It was fun to see Louis react to different things. You never know what is actually going to strike the interest of a 3-year old. He surprisingly loved seeing everything. So did I. I never knew how visually pleasing DC really is. Being able to see the Washington Monument or the Capitol Building from anywhere you are is really neat. I surprised myself with how taken I was inside of the memorial. It’s a beautiful structure but reading the quotes all over the walls really got to me. My favorite was this. Because, well… Louis liked it because he thought the ceiling looked like R2D2. I can’t disagree either. I totally can see it too! The cherry blossoms were in full bloom still while we were there. Which was awesome because they are stunning. STUNNING. Washington DC isn’t really that far from our house and yet they are full-force in spring already. We seem to be a few weeks behind. There were beautiful flowers everywhere and it was great to be around. Day one in the heart of the city was super successful. I am the furthest thing from a city gal and I totally loved every second of our exploration. Who knew?

In the winery, the SB is fermenting happily, have yet to pick our Cabernet. #napaharvest Mother’s Day has come to an end, and like many mums I was lucky enough to spend the day relaxing with my family. I was spoilt with a nice breakfast, a new pair of pj’s and a fun filled day with the kids. I received hand-made gifts from the kids this morning, with them all bringing tears to my eyes like most years. This year I received a wonderful hand-written card by my son. It was a beautiful card, one that makes your heart melt in wonder that I actually created this amazing, caring young boy. This year however I took additional meaning from the words he had written. In it he had written that I was the best mum ever. He thanked me for looking after him, said I was beautiful and pretty. On the front, he had written a few words that in his opinion described me and these included helpful, loveable, kind and nice. After the initial overwhelm of love and emotion that usually follow these gifts, I took time to reflect on the adventures of a being a mum. I would like to think that I am a good mum, but we all have our days. I raise my voice, I count to three, I sometimes lose my mind on days where they just don’t listen. On most days, I think I can do better. Most days I rush around, trying desperately to get to school pickup and not be late. Most days I raise my voice and juggle a million things. Most days I feel guilt for working when I think I should be home cooking a brilliant meal, fresh for the dinner at night rather than reheating something I made on the weekend. Most days I feel I perhaps don’t pay enough attention, work from home too much or am too busy doing the work around the house. Sometimes I forget to read to the kids at night, sometimes it is just too cold to go to swimming lessons and sometimes a bit of cheeky take-away is all that can be mustered after a busy day or week. BUT, what I realised today, after reading the hand-written card, was that the way my child sees me verses the way I see myself is truly different. I always think I can do better and strive every day to make positive changes, however my son sees me as a kind, helpful, loveable mum. My son knows that I am here for him, that I love him and that he and his sister mean the world to me. But to really understand this, has taken me many years. I now realise that I am a good enough mum. That whilst some days are a little challenging, I am doing my best and doing it with love. I have raised two small humans and I know from their behaviours and communication that I have raised them well. Two beautiful souls who are just starting their journey into life, who I will continue to guide and hold their hands with kindness and love. So today on Mother’s Day I want all the mums reading this to know, that you are good enough. No matter the shitty days we might have, the challenges that are thrown our way or the growing demands on our time, we are doing the best we can and we are doing it with love – and that my fellow mums is all we can do.

The Firstborn of God: The Birth of Mary's Son, Jesus by Eugene LaVerdiere, SSS has arrived at the Parish Offices. Reserve your copy now. Praying As Family: Retreat for Parents, Grandparents: Monday December 5th in Holy Cross Auditorium, 7:00 PM Two Dominican sisters of St. Cecelia Congregation will visit and speak with us about praying as a family. In simple and engaging language, they will direct families step-by-step in beginning to pray together and in deepening their prayer. Families who have used this book say that they have found especially helpful the sections on how to begin family bedtime prayers, the monthly family meeting, and praying with one’s spouse. They have commented that this guide is simple, practical, and profound. “Helping children learn the habit of prayer,” writes Archbishop Charles Chaput in the Forward, “becomes one of the most important lessons a family can share.” Everyone is invited, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. Babysitting will be provided. Call to reserve a copy of the sisters' book Join us for two sessions of spiritual reflections, prayer and discussion during Advent. We will begin in the church with Evening Prayer and then adjourn to the St. Joseph Meeting Room for a discussion of Eugene LaVerdiere's book The Firstborn of God: The Birth of Mary's Son Jesus (Luke 2:1-21) The book is a perfect mix of scholarly tidbits about Scripture and pastoral reflection for prayer on the Gospel of Luke, especially the infancy narrative. The "Conclusion" chapter discusses Luke's use of word paintings in his gospel and references El Greco's Adoration of the Shepherds. We'll condense our sessions to two in order to free up time as the Advent season comes to a close and Christmas approaches: November 30 and December 7th. On November 30 we will have Evening Prayer at 7:00 in the church followed by the discussion and reflection at approx. 7:15 PM. On December 7th there will be a Vigil Mass for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception at 7:00 PM. It was an amazing coincidence to discover that the sisters would already be in our diocese that week and were able to extend their visit and add us to their itinerary. The sisters will make a presentation to our Holy Cross students during the day. Monday evening they will discuss the topic of Family Prayer with school parents and parishioners alike based on their publication We will be extending an invitation for parishioners in our cohort and surrounding parishes to join us for this prayerful recollection in Advent. Posted at 10:48 AM in Adult Faith Formation, Holy Cross School, Parish Life, Prayer | Permalink | Comments (0) Thank you to those who came to the viewing and discussion of the film Jerusalem held in the St. Joseph Meeting Room. There was good attendance and the streaming media ran on our new OLED TV screen perfectly. The photography was stunning and even those who have been to the Holy Land gained a new insight into the geography and layout of the Holy City. There is no meeting next Wednesday to make room for the Diocesan sponsored Holy Hour for Families being held in each parish which is fortunate enough to have Holy Door of Mercy. Here is the schedule for Wednesday night Adult Faith Formation meetings, Faith Seeking Understanding. All meetings will begin at 7:00 PM in the St. Joseph Meeting Room in the lower level of the church. The text for the Passion narrative of Luke with be the book by Donald Senior. We have ordered 10 copies. Depending on its delivery date, we will begin the discussion on March 9th and conclude it on March 23rd (during Holy Week). If the book does not arrive in time for March 9 (it is back ordered) we will defer the discussion until 23 March. Please feel free to join us for one or all the meetings. The book The Passion Narrative in Luke will be available for purchase in the Parish Center, or at the Wednesday meetings when they become available. The revisions of canon law concerning the marriage annulment process promulgated by Pope Francis in his September 8 motu proprio letter Mitis Iudex Dominus Jesus (The Lord Jesus, the Meek Judge) take effect December 8, 2015. Until that date, the annulment process in the Diocese of Trenton will continue as it currently exists and those with cases currently pending will not be affected. In canon law, valid consent exchanged between one man and one woman makes the marriage valid. NO CHANGE PRESENTED HERE. Annulments are not “divorces, Catholic style.” A divorce is a declaration of civil law that the parties to a marriage have permanently separated because the marriage union has irreparably broken down. The Catholic Church believes and teaches that, despite a divorce according to civil law, the “bond of marriage” cannot be dissolved by any power except death. Divorced Catholics, therefore, are not free to remarry unless: (a) the spouse dies; or (b) an annulment is granted by the Church. An annulment on the other hand is a declaration of canon law that the original consent to marriage was defective to the point that no marriage actually or ever took place. Such a declaration requires investigation and proof. Just as a civil divorce has no effects before the Church, a Church annulment has no effects before civil law. For example, the children of an annulled marriage do not become illegitimate. NO CHANGE PRESENTED HERE. The only fee attached to the granting of an annulment concerns the costs of services employed in the process (eg., secretarial assistance and salaries in the Tribunal; the use of experts by the Tribunal; office utilities, stationery, communications in the Tribunal; maintenance of the Tribunal, etc.). The Diocese of Trenton requests a $700 contribution for these purposes. Last year, the a Diocese subsidized 2/3 of all Tribunal costs with contributions constituting less than 1/3 of all costs incurred. Pope Francis has not eliminated this fee. He has “recommended” its elimination whenever possible, in accordance with the considerations of the episcopal conference of the country and the ability of Tribunals to support themselves. The total cost of the Tribunal operations to the Diocese was $292,412 last year alone. The revisions to the annulment process made by Pope Francis that will affect the Diocese of Trenton include: 1. The required automatic appeal of an affirmative decision regarding marriage nullify has been eliminated; parties may make an appeal if they so choose; 3. The texts of some provisions of canon law have been changed; the revisions are procedural in nature and do not alter Church doctrine; 4. The local bishop has been asked to develop structures for his Diocese that demonstrate an effort to expedite the marriage annulment process. These will be communicated once developed. The December 8 implementation date provides the Diocese of Trenton with ample lead time to study the revisions further, to discern their consequences and to make any required changes deemed necessary. As Bishop, I do not anticipate the transition to be unduly burdensome. Any effort to make ecclesiastical procedures less bureaucratic and more accessible, without compromise to Church teachings and beliefs, should be seen as positive. Join us at 7 PM for viewing and discussion of the history and the great works of art contained within the Cathedral of Monreale.
As part of the university’s strategic plan to promote sustainability in all aspects of university life, a new office of sustainability has been established. Assistant professor of biology, Jim Armacost, has been named the first director of sustainability. (U.S.): The college has hired a sustainability assistant as an outgrowth of its new Strategic Plan. The new position will help incorporate sustainability more fully into the culture, engage students in sustainability projects, and enhance sustainable practices for campus operations and infrastructure, with a goal of achieving carbon neutrality. The First Annual Sustainability Report highlights metrics and stories of success from the campus’ sustainability efforts over the past year, including information about campus organizations, events, and student fee measures. Designed by university researchers, the AguaClara water filtration system has won the Katerva Award in the Urban Design category. The system uses gravity to purify water without the use of electricity, and is currently providing clean drinking water to over 30,000 people in Honduras. AguaClara prides itself on being an open source technology, meaning all of its designs are scaleable and available online. The Board of Trustees has approved a Sustainability Master Plan created by a task force consisting of students, faculty and staff. In addition to sustainability efforts directly affecting the campus, there are also plans to reach out to the community that will include workshops for elementary and middle school students to learn about biodiversity and composting, as well as offering seasonal cooking workshops to encourage healthy eating and use of locally-grown foods. The Green Labs @ Penn program is designed to reduce the environmental impact of everyday lab operations. The program provides a “how-to” guide that includes an action checklist, a commitment form, tips and resources. (U.S.): University Development has achieved the Duke Green Workplace Certification, bringing the total to 37 certified workplaces and over 800 staff working in certified workplaces.

Organizations receive points for each benchmark they reach. The university has unveiled the Campus Sustainability Explorer, an online mapping tool that geographically represents all areas of sustainability on the campus. The Green Building Committee in collaboration with Campus Planning and the Sustainability Initiative developed the tool. The Explorer also acts as a decision support tool for various groups and stakeholder around campus, providing information on existing conditions for a number of academic, facility, and operational aspects. The Sustainability Office has launched the Green Room Certification and the Green Events Certification programs. In partnership with Residence Life, the Green Room Certification program awards a certificate to students who minimize their environmental impact through green living practices. The Green Event Certification program awards a certificate to campus groups and departments that implement zero waste measures at events. The Sustainability Office has published a 2011-2012-progress report summarizing current sustainability initiatives on campus and gains made since the Presidential Task Force on Sustainability released its recommendations in 2010. The university has released its first sustainability impact report that provides a campus-wide snapshot of the progress that has been made to reduce the campus’ environmental footprint and increase its operational efficiency. Available online, the report includes data on greenhouse gas emissions, waste, and transportation, as well as infographics, multi-media stories, and progress timelines. The university has launched a new Green Spaces Certification program. The program is a three-level, voluntary certification process that encourages people in work, school, and living spaces on campus to adopt sustainable practices and green their work unit and events. Upon submission of a completed checklist, the work unit is recognized as a Green Space with Bronze, Silver, or Green & Gold certification. (Ireland): The institute has received the Green Flag from the Green Campus Program, an international environmental education and award program that promotes long-term, whole college action for the environment. The institute’s sustainability efforts focus on themes of waste, travel, energy, biodiversity and water. (U.S.): The presidents of South Carolina State University, Claflin University, Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College and Aiken Technical College have signed a memorandum of understanding to form an environmental sustainability working group in partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency. The schools will collaborate in research, teaching and various sustainability projects. (U.S.): Mother Nature Network has published an article on its top 10 U.S. environmental programs. The programs and institutions highlighted include: Northland College, SUNY-ESF, Middlebury College’s Program in Environmental Studies, Cornell University’s Department of Natural Resources, Duke University’s Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, College of the Atlantic, Arizona State University’s School of Sustainability, Yale University’s School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Green Mountain College, and Montana State University’s Sustainable Food and Bioenergy Systems program. INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine has announced the 48 recipients of its first annual Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) award. The national award honors U.S. colleges and universities that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion. Winning institutions were selected based on exemplary initiatives in various areas of diversity including gender, race, ethnicity, veterans, people with disabilities, and members of the LGBT community.

Third place went to North Carolina State University for a project on the recyclability of oil contaminated cardboard. The Urbana-Champaign Senate has unanimously approved a proposal to create a Center for a Sustainable Environment, an umbrella organization that will lead campus environmental groups, academic units and the Office of Sustainability. The university will cover $450,000 annually for the center, with additional funding coming from the Alvin H. Baum Family Fund. The university has released Vision 2020, a draft sustainability vision and goals report. The report is available for comment online and across campus for “crowd-sourced track-changes” from students, faculty and staff. The university plans to finalize the sustainability vision and goals report in December and transition to action planning in January. The university has committed to supplement the Sustainability Center’s student fee with an additional $30,000 for the next two years to transition the center to a new Office of Sustainability. A committee is in the process of selecting a new director for the Office of Sustainability. The university has implemented a new initiative asking campus community members to contribute feedback and ideas on a campus-wide Engagement and Social Marketing Strategy. Information will be collected via surveys, focus group sessions, and a pilot program. The results of this campaign will assist the university in further achieving its reduction targets for energy, greenhouse gases, water and waste. (U.K.): Winners and commendations were bestowed across 13 categories at the Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges’ 2012 Green Gown Awards. Now in its eighth year, the awards program recognizes exceptional initiatives being undertaken by universities and colleges across the U.K. to become more sustainable. The university has released its Ecosystems Enhancement Strategy, which describes how it will enhance the ecosystems on its campus, in the region, and around the globe. Some of the strategy’s areas of focus include: strengthening habitats, promoting healthy air and climate, fostering clean and abundant fresh water, and supporting sustainable food production systems. The Office of Sustainability is forming working groups to develop action plans to meet these goals. The university has released its 2012 Strategic Energy and Water Plan. Highlights in the report include the decline of energy consumption by 31 percent since 2003, and the decline of potable water consumption per square foot by 43 percent. Upgrades to central energy and lighting infrastructure and retro-commissioning efforts account for much of the energy savings, while an integrated non-potable water system helped reduce water consumption. The Western Sustainability Office Certification, a program that recognizes campus offices' environmentally friendly choices, was made available to all administration offices on campus. Five administration offices participated in the pilot program over the summer and seven more are currently participating in the certification process. The institution will participate in the Campus Climate Assessment to evaluate the extent to which aspects of the university are equitable and socially just. The assessment will be facilitated by EdChange, an organization dedicated to developing more equitable educational communities. A new committee will consider future opportunities for synergies and collaboration between the university environment and its sustainability research and academic programs. The committee will conduct an inventory of environmental and sustainability research and teaching programs identify emerging issues and provide an assessment of new opportunities that might be realized through collaborations or investment in new programs. The university has launched Sustainable Workplace, a certificate program that assists campus offices in creating greener workplaces through adjustments in employee behaviors and equipment settings. The program focuses on behavioral changes to support waste prevention, energy reduction and increased awareness of sustainability, all of which support the university’s 2025 sustainability goals. The university has released a sustainability impact report that provides a campus-wide snapshot of the progress that has been made to reduce the campus’ environmental footprint and increase its operational efficiency. Available online, the report includes data on greenhouse gas emissions, waste, and transportation, as well as infographics, multi-media stories, and progress timelines. The new Office of Energy and Sustainability will help to make the campus more sustainable through improved communication of sustainability resources to the community, increased student involvement, and innovative sustainability projects. Graduate students with one-year appointments will staff the new sustainability coordinator position. The university has appointed its first sustainability energy and environmental coordinator. Since the appointment, progress has already been made in developing a university climate action plan, creating awareness through social media channels, and building community partnerships. The university has released its first Sustainable Carolina Annual Report. The 2011-2012 report highlights the work of students, faculty, and staff from across the university on subjects as broad as curriculum development, “greening the mind”, and recycling. A group of 15 engineering students won first place in the national Green Energy Challenge competition with an energy-saving plan designed for the Historical Center of Industry and Labor on the university’s campus. The University of Washington, Iowa State, and Georgia Tech placed second, third and fourth, respectively.

The Executive Order No. 13, Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability, was approved by President Michael Young and has been reviewed by the Faculty Senate, Board of Deans, the Environmental Stewardship Committee and the policy sub-teams. The order, an umbrella statement confirming the university’s commitment to sustainability, will serve as a guiding principle for future sustainability policy development and pursuit of the university’s Climate Action Plan goals and objectives. (U.K.): In recognition for the university’s commitment to reducing its impact on the environment and in integrating sustainability into its daily services and activities, the university’s Environmental Management System has been awarded an EcoCampus Platinum Award and ISO 14001 certification. (Italy): The university and institute have partnered to convert their sites into a single sustainable campus. The “Smart Campus” project will focus on four themes including residents, energy, environment and accessibility. The project intends to develop services aimed at transforming the behavior of campus users. As part of the project, dumpsters that measure the weight and volume of the material that is discarded have been installed to manage waste collection. The university has recently become a signatory of the Illinois Campus Sustainability Compact, the Catholic Coalition on Climate Change’s St. Francis Pledge, American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) and the Talloires Declaration. These agreements outline the university’s pledge to work toward expanding its sustainability program, engaging the campus community, greening its operations and monitoring its performance. As the university’s first chief sustainability officer, Joanne Perdue will work with the senior leadership team and academic coordinator for sustainability to integrate the values and aims of the university’s Academic Plan and Institutional Sustainability Plan into teaching, co-curricular student activities, research, service learning and operations across campus. President Stephen Mulkey recently announced that the college's faculty and Board of Trustees have endorsed sustainability science as the overarching framework for all academic programming with an emphasis on upper division courses. With this endorsement, the college has dedicated significant financial and human resources to strengthen academic offerings through this lens, and to further develop campus infrastructure to support sustainability science on the ground. The economic impact of the university’s sustainability efforts in the region is more than $900 million according to the university’s first collective sustainability impact report.

With Mercury backtracking in your sign, you’re feeling more tongue-tied than usual, but Merc’s meetups with the sun and Venus this week should give your communication a welcome boost. Both your thoughts and speech will benefit from extra vitality and warmth. Plus the sun is vibing with revolutionary Uranus, helping you to direct your energy toward novel ways of expressing yourself and enjoying life. You won’t be satisfied settling for go-to pleasures now, so seek out fresh routes to romance, fun or creativity that excite you. Despite the fact that it’s not time to turn the page on 2017 quite yet, the new moon signals your New Year is officially underway, so set your intentions for 2018 now. This is your annual reboot; how do you want to use it? Venus is currently giving you oodles of magnetism, while Saturn has lent you an air of gravitas in the past few years, and both these planets are linked with this lunation, making them factors in your personal reinvention. For example, maybe you need to turn on the charm and take yourself more seriously going forward. If you’d like to change something about yourself, now’s your chance. Happy New Year, Sag! Let your imagination run wild when the sun, Mercury and Venus mingle in your spirit corner and vibe with Uranus this week. Your intuition and creativity are super stimulated, and even a pleasant daydream could yield a nugget of helpful information about yourself. You’re likely to get a bit nostalgic and can use moments of reminiscing to free up stagnant emotions and encourage forward flow. Allow yourself to be vulnerable. Open up to the idea of feeling differently—perhaps about the past, your family or yourself. Be compassionate with yourself and others. The new moon also invites you to release anything (or anyone) that doesn’t serve your growth. Clear the decks for the fresh start that arrives on your doorstep with next month’s new moon in Capricorn. Listen to that inner whisper telling you it’s time to let go. If you want to paint 2018 on a blank canvas, take a leap of faith and surrender to the divine intentions of the universe. This is a great opportunity to begin a spiritual practice, a journal or anything else that puts you in touch with soul and psyche. This week’s planetary gathering takes place in your group zone, inspiring you to connect with people and collaborate. There’s huge potential for getting back in touch with someone, so reach out to a long-lost pal, professional contact or friend of a friend you once crossed paths with, and see what you can bring to each other’s lives. The sun is in that zone and harmonizing with your ruling planet, giving even more juice to your networking power. Although technology is notoriously tricky during Mercury retrograde, you should still try to find ways of using it to your advantage. Triple-check your post, tweet, email, etc. before hitting send. Social media will enable you to spread your message; just make sure it’s the message you intended! Your ideas and words could easily go viral now, as several planets are helping you reach the masses. And conversely, tuning into what other people are doing and saying can give you an a-ha! moment that motivates you. The new moon invites you to join an organization, launch a team effort, make a new friend, socialize, form a professional alliance and update your online profiles. This week puts a ton of emphasis on the highest point in your chart, which will elevate your profile and possibly bring public or professional attention your way. Although Mercury retrograde is messing up your more literal communication with authority figures, it’s a good time to dress to impress or let your work do the talking. Image is extra important during these transits, so be ready for your close-up! Tweak a creative project or piece of writing to make sure it’s good to go. And since the sun is gelling with Uranus, you might pull an underutilized talent out of your hat in order to shine—or sway leaders with your refreshing confidence and innovative use of resources. The less attached to a particular payoff you are, the more successful you’ll be. Thanks to a new moon in your achievement angle, you have a golden opportunity to set some big goals for 2018. Plant the seeds for a new chapter in your career. Step into a leadership role. Be willing to take on responsibilities that will earn you more notice. And be sure you’re considering your individual array of natural aptitudes when crafting objectives for the months to come. Several planets fire you up to expand your mind this week, so make a point of venturing into the unknown, literally and figuratively. If you’re currently traveling, your hunger for adventure is probably being fed. But if you can’t manage to skip town right now, at the very least, you should get out of your routine at every opportunity. Take a different route home from work and explore an area you don’t know well; check out the new Ethiopian place in your nabe instead of grabbing Chinese takeout for the gazillionth time; find out how a culture or religion that’s unfamiliar to you celebrates the holidays; talk to strangers. The sun is in cahoots with Uranus in Aries, indicating that having a wide variety of experiences will give you a much-needed sense of forward movement in your life. The tried and true gets a hard pass this week. You’re a student of the world, and staying within the boundaries of what you already know is a sure way to deprive yourself of growth. The new moon coaxes you to sign up for a class, plan a trip, take a leap of faith and start making your vision of the future a reality. Lots of planetary activity in your depth sector this week may spark intimacy in the form of sex or emotional closeness. Plus with Mercury backspinning, rekindling an old flame isn’t out of the question. You might reflect on your feelings or share them if you’re willing to make yourself vulnerable. Solo Bulls could dive into a passion project or grapple with a psychological challenge to understand yourself and heal. This would be an amazing time to look at any issues connected with relationships; for example, you might examine a fear of intimacy to see how it colors your experiences. A sun-Uranus confab hints that shining a light on the inner workings of your psyche or a close relationship will facilitate change within it. Emotions that you hide from yourself and/or others can be quite unruly, and bringing them into the open where you’ll see them more clearly will be liberating. We think we can keep something under control by suppressing it, but that only leads to it controlling us. The new moon prompts you to go deep by forming a close bond with another individual or seeking what you need from others. A fresh partnership, financial resource or transformation may be in the works. Don’t go it alone while half the planets are convening in your partnership angle. Two heads are better than one, especially with your ruling planet traveling retrograde for another week and a half. In fact, Mercury’s meetups with the sun and Venus encourage you to keep the lines of communication open, no matter how faulty they may seem. The chances of reconnecting with people from your past are very high now, and reunions are apt to be gratifying, so stay in circulation—or be proactive and reach out. The sun is vibing with Uranus in your group zone, reminding you that people do change, but you shouldn’t necessarily bank on it. Don’t need them to be different than they are. Give them the latitude to be themselves, and allow yourself to be pleasantly surprised. Focus more on who you want to be—then notice how defining your identity affects whom you draw into your sphere. Networking and philanthropy are bound to be successful during this transit, so look at the bigger picture and see what’s possible. The new moon suggests a new partnership or new chapter in an existing one could be on the horizon, making this a good lunation for setting #RelationshipGoals! The planets are certainly keeping you busy this week, as they hold a summit in your productivity corner, inspiring you to put your nose to the grindstone. You might channel your energy into revising something for work or tackling an artistic or cerebral project. Although your relations with colleagues may be suffering from crossed wires due to Mercury’s retrograde phase, you might be able to soothe ruffled feathers with a kind word or thoughtful gesture. The sun is collaborating with Uranus in your ambition angle, so your work could make an impression on people who are in a position to help you advance. A humanitarian effort is likely to make headway now, as is an effort to gain more autonomy in your job. If you want to make a difference in the world or make a career change, this transit will inspire you to apply yourself with full force. And the new moon of the month also falls in your productivity corner, nudging you to initiate a positive habit, start eating healthier, begin a new exercise regimen, organize your workspace, get on a better schedule, add to your skillset, launch a job search and make medical appointments. The house that governs Leo stuff like play, romance and creativity is hosting a plethora of planets this week, giving you the go-ahead to enjoy life to the fullest. Mercury’s alliances with the sun and Venus should help you rise above the hindrance of the communication planet’s retrograde period and express yourself in some form or fashion. You might still feel at a loss for words when it comes to articulating your feelings, but people will pick up on what’s in your heart if you’re brave enough to wear it on your sleeve. Show your affection, joy, generosity and sense of humor. Have fun, flirt, put your artistic flair on display. Your ruling planet is in sync with Uranus in your exploration sector, so you can discover more about yourself by trying new things. Possibility is in the air with this transit! Don’t limit yourself to familiar experiences and rote ways of being you. Venture into the unknown and expand your potential. Spontaneous adventures and celebrations are highly favored. Bonus: The new moon suggests that a fresh chapter in your love life, a novel source of happiness or a different outlet for your creativity is just around the bend. There’s no place like home for Virgos this season, with a horde of planets hanging out at the base of your chart, which rules domestic and familial matters. You’re in a sentimental mood and probably waxing nostalgic, thanks to Mercury traveling retrograde down memory lane. You need plenty of downtime to relax and tune into your feelings, but you might also get inspired to host a party, cook, bake, make presents by hand and get together with relatives. It’s the perfect time to reconnect with people you’ve known forever because comfort is key with this planetary map. Since the sun is joining forces with Uranus, reminiscing might lead to revelations, so allow your mind to wander into the past. You may be surprised by the emotions that come up when you pay attention to your inner world. And you might suddenly get closer to another person if you allow yourself to be an open book, rather than trying to maintain control. The new moon signals a coming change in your family or living situation and coaxes you to do what you need to in order to increase your comfort and security. If you’ve been contemplating putting down roots, here’s your sign from the universe. While half the planets assemble in your cognition-communication-and-community zone, your brain, speech and neighborhood are getting quite lively. Mercury retrograde is still making mischief, but due to its encounters with the sun and Venus this week, your interactions with people will have plenty of positive energy. Plus Merc retro is a great time for activities that start with re-, such as rewriting, reconnecting, revising, rethinking, reviewing and so on. You might bond with a brother or sister over shared memories, revisit a place you’re fond of or get in touch with old neighbors. Since the sun is linked with gamechanger Uranus in your one-on-one angle, you’re apt to meet new people, and your ideas can make a difference in the lives of others. Partnering with progressive individuals will give you an outlet for expressing something. If you’re restless, reach out to those who represent change. The new moon could bring an influx of information and the opening of a productive dialogue. It may be time to take on a more active role in your community or improve your relationship with a sibling by accepting them just as they are. With five out of ten planets hanging in your worth zone this week, it’s difficult to ignore issues related to your money, belongings, personal values and self-esteem. One of those planets is Mercury, who’s in its pesky retrograde phase, and Merc’s rendezvous with the sun and Venus should give your financial judgment a couple of extra layers. On the one hand, you could overidentify with what you need and have, adding an emotional component to your spending. On the other hand, you may have a keen intuitive sense of what presents will be most appreciated, and your taste will be on point. The sun is making music with Uranus in your efficiency corner, empowering you to get creative when it comes to working with what you’ve got. Unveiling a talent will help you make progress on the job, while getting your priorities straight will improve your everyday life. Plus stronger confidence can make a difference with your health. This month’s new moon favors a new source of income, a fresh budget, better use of your resources and clarity regarding what’s most important to you.

Two Kansas City area not-for-profits committed to hospice care have signed a letter of intent to combine resources and to assure continued access to high quality hospice care in the Northland. If approved by all governing Boards, the merger will be effective July 1, 2015. While each organization reviews legal, operational and financial information, both agencies will operate independently to provide uninterrupted care for patients and families affected by terminal illness. In describing the merger, Jody Abbott, board chair of NorthCare Hospice and North Kansas City Hospital senior vice president and chief operating officer said, “We have found an incredible partner who shares our belief that delivering excellent end-of-life care on a non-profit basis is the right thing to do. With combined staff, service areas and unique programs, we can continue to provide high quality care for patients and their loved ones at a critical and profound period in their lives.” Discussions of a possible merger were prompted as both organizations looked to the future to address an increasingly complex financial and regulatory environment. NorthCare Hospice plans to retain its name and operate as a division of KC Hospice in the Northland. The inpatient NorthCare Hospice House will remain on the North Kansas City Hospital campus. “North Kansas City Hospital is committed to a long-term partnership with NorthCare Hospice and KC Hospice through the donation of space for the inpatient NorthCare Hospice House, administrative offices in the Meritas Health building on Vivion Road, and in other ways that foster success. We want to ensure that quality hospice care is available in the Northland to all who need it, regardless of financial circumstances.” said Peggy Schmitt, president and CEO of North Kansas City Hospital. “This is such an exciting moment in the 35-year history of Kansas City Hospice and Palliative Care and I couldn’t imagine a better celebration than pairing with NorthCare Hospice. Both organizations have a deep and long term commitment to the patients, families and communities we serve,” said Elaine McIntosh, president and CEO of Kansas City Hospice and Palliative Care. “While we both offer the full continuum of services such as home, nursing facility and inpatient care, our strengths complement each other perfectly.” NorthCare Hospice is a not-for-profit organization offering a full continuum of hospice services such as home, nursing facility and inpatient care. With specialized programs in cardiac, ALS and Advanced Lung Disease, NorthCare Hospice has been serving Northland residents for 20 years. NorthCare Hospice primary service areas include Clay, Platte and surrounding counties. More than 130 staff and 130 volunteers serve more than 1,000 families each year. Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care is a not-for-profit organization offering a range of services for people of all ages and at any stage of serious illness. Specialized programs include pediatrics, palliative home health, Solace House Grief Support, and specialized therapies. The organization has been providing comfort and care to the seriously ill and their families in the greater Kansas City area since 1980. Every year, approximately 250 staff and 400 volunteers serve more than 2,500 families across nine counties in the greater Kansas City area. Actor JK Simmons has said that Terminator: Genesis is a “very smart” update on the original movies, which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger. Terminator: Genesis will be the first of three Terminator films to be released and will star Schwarzenegger alongside co-stars including Matt Smith and Emilia Clarke. Simmons (pictured above) will also appear in the film and told Empire that fans can expect a “reimagining” rather than a traditional sequel. “I was leery of it when it first came my way, when my agent sent me the idea for it,” said Simmons. “It’s a small part, which they insist gets much bigger in the sequels. But I was very pleasantly surprised by the script itself.” “The script, I think, is very smart, and it’s going to be a wonderful part for Arnold to do. Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke and Jai Courtney are already shooting – we did a table read a few weeks ago – and all of them are going to be great.” He continues: “This, I think, is a reimagining. They don’t want to call it a sequel or a reboot. It’s the world that James Cameron created with Arnold. All the leading characters are characters who have existed in that world – the character I play is new to it.” Tovey, who was regarded alongside Cabaret Voltaire and Human League as one of the finest exponents of the early ’80s electronic dance movement in the UK, died at his home on April 3. A statement has been issued, that reads: “It is with great regret that Mute announces the news that Frank Tovey aka Fad Gadget died on Wednesday 3rd April 2002 at his home in London of heart failure. Frank had suffered from heart problems since his childhood.” Daniel Miller, head of Mute said: “Frank was the first artist I ever worked with on Mute, he made some very special and influential records and was an exceptional live performer. Frank played a big part in helping to lay the foundations of what the label was to become in the ensuing years, I will miss him greatly.” Tovey’s career was still active at the time of his passing. In more recent years he had been releasing records under his own name for Mute, and was working on new material. He was also still touring, securing the support slot on labelmates Depeche Mode‘s recent European tour. An unique insight into SID and NANCY’s infamous CHELSEA HOTEL room is go on view at a new exhibition opening in September. Posters from the couple’s room in which the [url=]Sex Pistol allegedly stabbed Nancy to death will form part of ‘Punk: A True And Dirty Tale’ taking place in London’s The Hospital between September 24 and January 23. The show chronicles the most significant points in punk’s history such as fashion items from ‘Sex’ and ‘Seditionaries’ – the shop owned by Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren, handwritten lyrics from ‘Never Mind The Bollocks’ and rare examples of work by the [url=]The Sex Pistols’ graphic designer Jamie Reid. The gallery’s cinema will also be screening a punk inspired film series scheduled to run throughout the duration of the exhibition. The Hospital is located at Covent Garden’s Endell Street and tickets are priced at £6.00 and £4.00 for concessions. For advanced tickets call 0870 386 7372 Speaking last May, when asked about a reunion Roth said: “I see it absolutely as an inevitability. To me, it’s not rocket surgery. It’s very simple to put together. And as far as hurt feelings and water under the dam, like what’s-her-name says to what’s–her-name at the end of the movie ’Chicago’– ‘So what? It’s showbiz!’ So I definitely see it happening.” However, Hagar refused to collaborate with Eddie Van Halen and Alex Van Halen after the tour’s completion.
One of the differences between writing and speaking is that when you’re writing, and especially when you’re writing on a computer, which of course makes it particularly simple to edit what you write as you go along, it’s quite easy to produce lengthy sentences which consist, as this one does, of a number of clauses all nicely knitted together, whereas when you’re speaking it’s much less easy, since you don’t have the opportunity to plan very far ahead or to edit what you’ve already said; you just have to press on and do the best you can. Long stretches of conversational speech actually often consist of strings of phrases and clauses without very much linking, or even with none at all: I went for a walk along the canal the other day, first time I’ve been there for ages, it looks so different, they’ve cut down some of the trees, that bit past the bridge, you know, all those trees, it looks so bare now, I can’t imagine why they did it ….. If there is explicit linking, it’s done mostly through the use of and, but, so, because and or; using other linking words such as however and furthermore is much less usual, and immediately has the effect of raising the level of formality. Sometimes, in response to their changing perception of the conversational context, people break off abruptly and continue with a different structure: It’s common to establish, or re-establish, the topic of conversation before going on to say what you want to say about it, and there are various ways of doing this: The last example (by ex-footballer George Best) shows how putting the topic (here: the rest) first can result in object-subject-verb word order. Putting the topic first is also a common reason for using a passive with an agent: It’s also common to reiterate the topic at the end of an utterance, either because you want to emphasise it or because you want to make sure that it’s clear who or what you’re talking about. These are just a few examples of how the nature of spoken English is influenced by pragmatic factors such as the need to produce language spontaneously, without the opportunity for planning ahead and editing, and the need to help yourself and your listener by signposting who or what your topic is. Many word watchers have been aware for a few years now of how one particular piece of our oral language is changing right before our ears! The phrase “That’s a whole nother thing” can be heard in spoken language very often, yet you’d be hard pressed to find anyone actually writing “A whole nother.” It’s a wonderful example of language change in action, and how the written form can lag a long way behind the spoken. Jonathan: Interesting post. For further discussion of features like topic fronting, ‘utterance launchers’, tags, and other features of ‘spoken grammar’, see the big Biber et al. Grammar of Spoken and Written English, chapter 14, and especially section 14.3. They don’t cover everything though. It’s fascinating how different spoken English actually is from the written forms that are taught as ‘proper grammar’ or Standard English. In novels, there were until recently very few writers who reproduced dialogue faithfully; now this is getting to be the norm, but it’s taken a long time when you consider how long tape-recorders have been around for. Thanks, Gill. Yes, I know the LGSWE. Have you got a theory about why it’s taken writers so long to hear what spoken English is like? Jonathan: No not really. One factor is surely that the spoken language used to be thought somehow inferior to the written, and written language was the basis for grammatical description and hence prescription. In the last few decades, with the internet, social media, texting etc, people have learnt to write as they speak, and invented a whole new set of conventions for doing so. It’s partly to do with speed – the message is the important thing rather than the way it is crafted. This trend has raised the status of the spoken language and made it an object of study in its own right – hence LGSWE and its ilk. The representation of dialogue in novels is changing along the same lines. But I don’t want to overstate the case – there’s brilliant ‘natural’ dialogue in oldish American crime fiction – Elmore Leonard, Lawrence Block etc , in The Graduate (1963) and in lots of other novels. There were always writers who had a brilliant ear for how we actually do speak, and whose dialogue both reflected this and affected it. And it’s obviously not a simple question. The development of large corpora has a lot to do with it, too. […] Here is an interesting post highlighting some of the differences between spoken and written language. […]

A Black actor who says he was taken into custody at gunpoint at the Glendale Galleria by authorities searching for burglary suspects following a high-speed pursuit said today he was wrongfully detained in a case of racial profiling. Darris Love, 38, and his attorneys announced the filing of a legal claim against the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, alleging that deputies identified him as a suspect in the burglary even though he and his girlfriend had been shopping at the mall during the crime and the ensuing chase last Wednesday. The sheriff’s department issued a statement acknowledging that detectives with its Major Crimes Bureau witnessed a residential burglary and notified the Los Angeles Police Department. Mr. Love closely resembled the individual who left the scene of the burglary,” according to the sheriff’s department. “While Glendale police officers were searching the mall area for the burglary suspects, Mr. Love was seen running away not far from the area where the pursuit terminated towards an illegally parked vehicle. “Mr. Love was detained by Glendale police for further investigation by LAPD. During the detention, LAPD officers conferred with Major Crimes detectives who initially identified Mr. Love as one of the burglary suspects seen leaving the residence. “Mr. Love was detained and transported to LAPD West Valley Division for further investigation. This further investigation ultimately determined that Mr. Love was not in any way involved in the residential burglary and he was immediately released. ” Love, whose acting credits include “ER,” “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and the 1990s Nickelodeon series “The Secret World of Alex Mack,” said he wound up being detained for seven hours, even though he was holding a time-stamped ticket from the mall parking garage proving that he had been at the shopping center all along. Love also asked law enforcement to check the mall security video to confirm that he and his girlfriend had been at the facility’s Apple store, but he was instead detained. Love and his attorney, Brian Dunn, said a sheriff’s deputy positively identified him as a suspect in the burglary that deputies witnessed earlier in the day. There is absolutely no way they could not have realized that my clients, specifically Mr. Love and (his girlfriend) Ayesha Dumas, could have had anything to do with this,” Dunn said. “They were at an outdoor shopping mall throughout the time in which this crime occurred, throughout the time in which this chase occurred and throughout the time in which the actual suspects fled from law enforcement, exited their vehicle and got away. “… Why did this occur? There can be no other explanation other than race. There was absolutely nothing about my clients’ demeanor, about their actions or about their manner in dealing with law enforcement that in any way would have suggested criminal culpability to a reasonable police officer,” he said. Love said once he was at the West Valley station a police lieutenant realized that he was not a suspect, and he was released. He said he did his best throughout his interaction with law enforcement to remain positive and cooperative, and he credits that attitude with ensuring he came out of the incident unscathed. “You have to give your innocence to police officers for them to do their job, and in this day and time the reason that we fear our lives is because it usually doesn’t go quite so well and most people don’t live to tell their story,” he said. Love said he was coming forward because he wanted to ensure the same thing doesn’t happen to anyone else. “This is not a hate-all-police matter,” Love said. He publicly thanked the LAPD for realizing he was not culpable in the robbery, despite being identified by a sheriff’s deputy. Love said he was running through the mall parking garage at about 12:50 p.m. last Wednesday to get his parking ticket validated, but when he saw police swarming the area, he slowed down because — as a black man — he didn’t want to be mistaken as a criminal suspect trying to flee. But when he slowed, he was immediately taken into custody. Love’s arrest, which was captured on camera and aired on at least one television station, ended a police pursuit of a vehicle containing two or three “knock-knock” burglary suspects. The chase stretched from the Van Nuys area to Glendale, where the driver maneuvered into a parking garage at the Glendale Galleria and the car was abandoned. The trio of suspects being sought were wanted for allegedly burglarizing a home in the 19000 block of Lemmer Drive in Tarzana. The suspects fled in a dark BMW, driving east on the Ventura (101) Freeway and then continuing onto the eastbound Ventura (134) Freeway into Glendale, where the driver exited and went south on Central Avenue. At some point, officers backed off of the ground chase, but monitored the car via helicopter. At about 12:20 p.m., the car entered the Galleria parking garage, and police set up a perimeter in the general area to look for the suspects. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the nation’s premier civil rights organization, issued the following statement following the disgraceful arrest of two African American men in a Philadelphia Starbucks. “The arrest of two Black men at a Philadelphia Starbucks represents another ominous signal of the increasingly dangerous environment for African Americans. Less than two weeks after we honor the life and work of Dr. King and 50 years after the Kerner Commission found racism and police brutality at the root of public unrest in our communities, we still have a long way to go towards becoming a nation where a person is judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. “The Starbucks situation provides dangerous insight regarding the failure of our nation to take implicit bias seriously. We refuse to believe that our unconscious bias—the racism we are often unaware of—can and does make its way into our actions and policies. “We know if two Black men in Philadelphia require six police officers to handcuff and arrest them for waiting to order coffee, then we begin to understand the mind state that allows for such overzealous and reactionary use of deadly force by those who are paid to serve and protect. “Every day people of color find themselves at the mercy of the stereotypes and embedded fears of others. How else can we explain why 14-year-old Brennan Walker who missed his bus on his way to school would be shot at by a homeowner just outside Detroit? Or explain Saheed Vassell, a mentally-ill man in Brooklyn fired at ten times and shot dead by police officers. Or why Stephon Clark was shot at 20 times and hit 8 times, mainly in the back, by police officers in Sacramento, based on the assumption that he was the culprit responsible for breaking into cars. We are at least glad in the case of Starbucks that no one mistook a wallet for a gun. “All too often these issues are discussed in passing episodic ways by media. Racism and biases that make simply breathing while Black so dangerous will not just go away without our society committing more resources to discussion, education and training on implicit bias and racism. If we refuse to, we’ll continue to face the consequences of our failure to do so.”

AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) allows you to use keys under your control to encrypt data at rest stored in Amazon S3. The two primary methods for implementing this encryption are server-side encryption (SSE) and client-side encryption (CSE). Each method offers multiple interfaces and API options to choose from. In this blog post, I will show you how to use the AWS REST APIs to secure S3 objects using KMS keys via SSE. Using the native REST APIs vs. the AWS SDKs may be a better option for you if you are looking to develop cross-platform code or want more control over API usage within your applications. One critical aspect of using any AWS REST API call is the signature used to authenticate the request. This signature is vital if you wish to allow only authenticated users to access your data. There is an option to allow anonymous access that does not require a signature, but this makes your data publicly available to the world. For security, AWS recommends that you use only authenticated requests with a signature. This allows for verification of the requestor’s identity, in-transit data integrity protection, and protection against reuse of the signed portions of the request for replay attempts. I will describe the generic approach to signing AWS REST APIs, and then I will show how to use that technique to request that the S3 service encrypt objects on your behalf, using keys in your account that you manage using KMS. Signatures are calculated by concatenating request elements to form a string such as a POST policy from an HTTP POST request. This is called the string to sign. Next, a signing key is used to calculate the keyed-hash method authentication code (HMAC) of the string to sign. In AWS Signature Version 4 signing, your secret access key is used to create the signing key. When S3 receives the request, it recreates the signature by using the authentication information provided to ensure a match. If it matches, it will accept/return your data, if not, an error is returned. The encryption key you use is an important factor in deciding to use SSE or CSE encryption. Some factors you should take into account when determining the best option for you are cost, flexibility, security, and maintenance. The most important factor, however, is access control. To have the proper security levels, you want to ensure that only permitted users are able to access the encryption keys needed to decrypt data. You control these access permissions in KMS by using policies. With KMS, you also can see when, where, and by whom your customer managed keys (CMK) are used, because all API calls are logged by AWS CloudTrail. These logs provide you with full audit capabilities for your keys. There is also one default CMK for each account and service integrated with KMS. This key is referred to as the default service key and will always be listed with an alias of aws/[servicename] (for example, aws/s3) in your KMS console. This default service key is used if you choose not to create your own custom keys in KMS. The first time you add a SSE-KMS encrypted object to a S3 bucket in a specific region, a default service key is created for you, which only allows users in your account the permission to use the key from S3. However, creating your own CMKs does give you more flexibility with access control, auditing, rotation, and deletion. It also allows you to use CMKs across multiple AWS services and from within your own applications. Default service CMKs are assigned a default key policy that you cannot change. You can see the policy yourself by running the following AWS CLI command. (Replace the placeholder values with your own values.) The following policy example is the default key policy assigned to the default aws/s3 CMK. What this policy states is that all AWS Principals in the account can perform the Actions listed against S3 resources as long as they have the proper S3 permissions in their own IAM policies. This also gives permission to the account itself in order to pull the metadata of the key (account ID, ARN, description, and key state). With a custom CMK, however, you can limit who can manage and use the key, and who is permitted to allow AWS resources to access KMS on your behalf. The following policy is an example of a policy assigned during custom CMK creation. With the preceding custom policy, you can be restrictive about the users, roles, and services that can have access to the key. This is one of the benefits of using a CMK in KMS. For more information about KMS key policies, see Key Policies. When making all GET and PUT requests for an S3 object protected by KMS, you must use Signature Version 4 signing because Signature Version 2 signing is not supported. Signature Version 4 signing provides authentication using some or all of the following, depending on how you choose to sign the request: Request headers are a series of lines in the HTTP request that contain a name/value pair. These lines can be in any order and are used to pass information about the original request. Some examples of common request headers are: Content-Length, Content-Type, Date, Host, and x-amz-security-token. The following is an example of a basic request including headers: Some request headers are necessary for SSE encryption. The main required header is x-amz-server-side-encryption, which is used to request SSE-KMS with aws:kms used as the encryption format for object uploads. You must also use the x-amz-server-side-encryption-aws-kms-key-id header, because this specifies the ID of the KMS CMK you want to use. To add an extra layer of security that forces recipient to provide matching contextual information about the object, you would use x-amz-server-side-encryption-context. For more information, see the KMS documentation on Encryption Context and our blog post on the topic . One of the easier ways to make REST API calls is to use a browser with a RESTful add-on. Two options to choose from are Postman – REST Client for Google Chrome and RESTClient for Mozilla Firefox. After you have installed the add-on, you can then use your browser to make REST API calls against your S3 objects. This is a fast and efficient way to access your data without having to program an application. For this post, I am using Firefox and the RESTClient add-on, which you can see in the following screenshot. Now that I have covered the main components of S3 with SSE-KMS and making REST API calls, I can begin the process of using the REST API to secure S3 objects with SSE-KMS. The authorization signature is used to authenticate the API requests to S3 so that your stored data is available only to authenticated users. The signature is created by combining data of the object and hash values created from your secret access key with other metadata. Creating your signature can be done in various programming languages, but the examples I include in this post use JavaScript. The code snippets will show you how to create your string to sign, create the hash of your signing key, and provide the complete signature for API call authentication. The JavaScript code I used to create the hashes for my signing key is forge.bundle.js. You can use the language your prefer, including Ruby, .NET, Python, and others. This will create the HMAC that is used to then create the final signature. The “heavy lifter” of the group is the downloadable Presigned URL JavaScript code for Browser-based JavaScript POST script. This script creates your signature value by combining the hash values created by the forge.bundle.js script, the information for the file, and the KMS keys used for encryption. This signature value will be placed in the REST API call under the Authorization section in the body of your request. You now have a completed signature to authenticate your REST API requests to S3. The next step focuses on creating the PUT REST API call by combining elements of the object and CMK for your request. I will use a PUT request instead of POST because PUT is for creating or updating, and POST is only for creating. This request prevents duplicate objects. The PUT request places your data or object on your server for retrieval at a later date. To upload data to S3 using the REST API, you need to create a PUT request. To do this, set the Method to PUT, specify the URL as an S3 URL (for example, https://s3-us-east-1.amazonaws.com), and then place the body of the request in the Body box. Be sure to include the x-amz headers to specify aws:kms as the method of encryption, and the key ID of the KMS CMK you wish to use for the actual data encryption. An example PUT REST API call follows. You should receive a response that resembles the following (the following screenshot shows how the response appears in the browser add-on). A GET request is used to recall data that has already been placed on a server. Think of it as opening a file or downloading an image. It is a way to retrieve information that was previously stored. When you want to retrieve your data from S3, you must create a GET request. This request depends on your user having READ access to the objects that were uploaded. This will allow the user to open or download the requested object. Because this call is for an object encrypted with KMS, you will also need to provide the signature created previously for authorization. You follow the same steps as with the PUT request, but use the GET API instead. An example GET REST API call follows. In this post, I have explained why you use signatures to authenticate REST API calls, what a signature includes, and how you create signatures. Using signatures for API authentication raises the security of your application. I also covered how SSE-KMS can add extra levels of security with access policies, encryption context, and request header specifications. Walking through how to add the signature value to your REST API requests should give you an idea of how easy this process can be—the most involved part of this process is the signature creation. From there, you are on your way to making REST API calls to quickly and efficiently place or retrieve your data securely. If you have comments, submit them in the “Comments” section below.

First up, is the Limited Edition Brownie Batter Oreos. Stop reading this… Put down your phone, iPad, laptop, and get in your car now and get these. Now. Imagine making the darkest chocolate vegan brownies and eating the batter straight from the bowl. Then, add two crunchy chocolate cookies… These are so spot-on it actually shocked me. I’ve made some pretty kick-ass brownies, and these, dare I say, beat them. I’ve liked the seasonal limited edition Oreos in the past, like the Smores and Red Velvet versions, but these are by far the best. I’ve read other rave reviews and I hope these bad boys become a permanent player on the Oreo team. Next up, is Skinny Pop Hatch Chili Flavored Popcorn. This item is also limited edition (WHY?!!!!), and is quite delicious. As I’ve said before, I’m kind of a wuss when it comes to spicy foods, so I’m not sure why I got this is the first place, but I’m glad I did. Light, crunchy, with a slight chili enduced burn, I killed an entire bag with no regrets. I believe I got 2 bags for $4.00, and will definitely be getting it again. Next is Jack-o Traveler Pumpkin Shandy, from the makers of Curious Traveler and various other “traveler” beers. After a brief research session, it is confirmed that this beer is vegan, and freakin’ delicious. I believe this just may be the best pumpkin flavored beer I’ve had! The pumpkin flavor is strong and spiced like a true pumpkin pie, but it is still smooth. The alcohol content is 4.4%, and a 6 pack is just under $10.00. Well worth with it I’d say. Come onnnnn Pumpkin flavored Everything! And the last vegan (or at least it should be) treasure is the show Last Comic Standing on NBC. I remember watching this when the series first aired, but haven’t watched since. If I do watch TV, I watch shows on Netflix. To be honest, I barely know how to use my remote… But for some reason I flipped to this show and the contestants are pretty hilario (that’s how cool kids say Hilarious). The judges aren’t that entertaining, but they’re all famous for being funny so I guess they have to know something. Tune in for a laugh (have some Pumpkin beer to make it funnier!). Are your teeth looking not so white? Do you spend your days sipping on the strongest coffee known to man like I do? Well ladies and gentlebeans, this stuff is for you! Smart Ash Teeth Whitener and Detoxifier is an awesome cruelty free and organic alternative to those slimy nasty whitestrips. Its simple ingredients include; charcoal from coconut shells, calcium bentonite clay, along with orange peel and mint extract. It claims to whiten and strengthen your teeth, is nontoxic, and is completely safe to use everyday. Now, I’m not going to post my crazy looking teeth up here, but after 2-3 uses of this stuff, I had noticeably whiter and cleaner feeling teeth. You only need to use a tiny bit, like pictured above. When you use this, you can’t have a gigantic smile on your face like those freaks on the toothpaste commercials. You need to keep your mouth as closed as possible as you brush for a full 2 minutes. Otherwise, you will have black spit all over yourself and your bathroom. Also, lean down and spit directly into the drain to avoid a huge mess in your sink. This stuff is pretty awesome, and I will absolutely buy a full sized jar. 1 jar is $30, but they say it will last 6 months. Sounds go to me! Get it from the link below. Next up is Bai5 Molokai Coconut drink. Oh coconut gods, you’ve done it again! This tastes like a piña colada, and is virtually calorie free because it’s sweetened with stevia. If I wanted to start some trouble, a few shots of rum and some mint could be pretty entertaining. This bottle of fun cost $2.50 from CVS. This stuff makes me coco-nuts! Haha, I’m so funny. Last up is not a product, but I’m going to say it’s safe to assume that it is cruelty free. If not, feel free to kick me. This show really made me laugh. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a Netflix comedy series staring Ellie Kemper (the redhead from The Office, Bridesmaids, and 21 Jump Street), and was created by Tina Fey. In a few words, the show is about a woman that was part of a doomsday cult that gets rescued from an underground bunker where she was held captive for years and years. After her rescue, she gets into shananigans in NYC. This show is a mix of “stupid funny”, hilarious 90’s references, and general moments that make you laugh and say “WTF”? The second season won’t be out until March 2016, and I can’t wait! That does is for last month’s vegan treasures… Send me a message or comment and let me know some new places or products to try!
Yuri Krinitsky was an 18 year old student when he came from Tashkent to study at the Russian Institute of the History of Art. Back home he had been involved in the setting up of several circles of anarcho-syndicalist youth. He was arrested there in autumn 1922 on the charge of publishing an underground magazine Turkestan Alarm and given a written denunciation. Undeterred by this he began anarchist work at the Institute, forming a group around him. During the Christmas holidays of 1923/24 he visited Moscow and received a membership card of Russian Federation of Anarchists, and several blank cards for distribution in Tashkent and Leningrad. In spring of 1924 he was elected chairman of the Political Education Departments of the Institute. During the summer holidays in 1924 he was arrested again in Tashkent, but soon released. He carried on activity at the Institute. In autumn of that year six Communist Youth arrived at the Institute and prepared a list for elections to the student bodies. At a mass meeting Krinitsky urged the students to vote against the list. The GPU (successor of the Cheka) had the Institute under surveillance. The Communist slate lost the election and on the night of 3-4th November the GPU arrested Krinitsky, Benjamin Rakov, Alexandra Kvachevskya, Panteleimon Skrinikov, Maria Krivtsova and Yevgeniya Olshevskaya. Krinitsky, Rakov and Kvachevskya were found guilty as socially dangerous elements that were corrupting the student body and exiled from Leningrad for 3 years. Charges were dropped against the others for lack of evidence. Krinitsky was deported for 3 years to Zyriansky, and Rakov and Kvachevskaya for two years to Kazakhstan. Rakov and Kvachevskaya refused to cooperate with the GPU and served a long exile. Kvachevskaya contracted TB and was released to her parents, breaking off all involvement in politics. Krinitsky resigned from the Russian Federation of Anarchists and publicly renounced his views in a newspaper, writing a detailed testimony on his activity to the OGPU (yet another new name for the Cheka). He testified that he had become involved in anarchist activity at the age of thirteen in 1919. He denounced dozens of students, saying that he now regarded himself as a Bolshevik-Leninist. He was released on October 15th 1926. Other anarchist students were now arrested. On March 13, 1925 Aida Issakhorovna Basevich was deported to Kazakhstan (awaiting rehabilitation in 1990 she told a researcher that the OGPU had orchestrated provocations with the distribution of Federation of Anarchists cards and organisation of anarchist cells). On June 19, 1925 Raisa Shulman was deported to Central Asia for 3 years for organising underground anarchist circles. She subsequently was imprisoned in the Verkhneuralsk political isolator. In spring of 1925 Lydia Korneievna Chukovskaya was arrested but was soon released thanks to the efforts of her father, a famous children’s writer with connections to the Communist leadership. She had not known Krinitsky and was not involved in underground work. In September 1925 the GPU began a new hunt for anarchists among the students. At this time underground activity at the Institute was being carried out by Ekaterina Boronina, a friend of Krinitsky, Bacevich and Shulman. She corresponded with Shulman and attempted to form an anarchist circle with Lydia Chukovskaya and Alexander Saakov, who had been a friend of Krinitsky in Tashkent. Students and workers met at each others’ flats, decided to establish an anarchist library, set up a magazine Black Alarm and a solidarity fund called the Black Cross after the well-known aid organisations for political prisoners. Black Alarm was modeled on the Turkestan Alarm, but only a few copies were printed by the student Kira Sturmer and by Boronina. Sturmer was a hardened anarchist. Whilst in Moscow as a student she had already been arrested by the Cheka on two occasions, in 1921 and 1923, for her anarchist activities. The magazine stated that it was opposed to all forms of capitalism, including the state capitalism that existed in the USSR, that discontent was growing every day and that the prisons were overflowing, with a growing new bourgeoisie from the party and state bureaucracies creating “aristocratic privileges” for themselves. Meanwhile unemployment was rising, encouraging crime, begging and prostitution. Meanwhile 50% of union membership fees went to the upkeep of the bureaucracy. The magazine referred to worker unrest and peasant uprising, remembering the Makhnovist movement and the Kronstadt uprising, and calling for the organisation of anarcho-syndicalist unions. Arrests quickly followed on the night of 26-27th July 1926. Chukovskaya and Boronina were among those arrested. Chukovskaya was 19 at the time. She steadfastly refused to rat on her comrades. Others indicted were Kira Sturmer, her brother Georgei, Saakov, Goloulnikov, Ivanova, Izdebsky, Budarin, Tamara Zimmerman, Fedor Mikhailov-Garin, Yuri Kochetov and several others. The connections between these anarchists seem tenuous, and the GPU were probably using the excuse of a conspiracy to round up anyone with anarchist sympathies. Mikhailov-Garin was an anarchist-communist, a blacksmith, who had been involved with the anarchist movement for a long time. He had been sentenced for 5 years in 1919 and was one of the prisoners released from the Taganka prison in 1921 and had then ceased political activity. Kira Sturmer and Goulnikov were sent to a concentration camp for 3 years; Boronina, Soloviev, Kochetov, Ivanova, Mikhailov-Garin, Izdebsky, Budarin and Golubev were exiled for three years, Georgei Sturmer was denied right of residence for three years, and Chukovskaya, Saakov, Zimmerman, Kokushkin and Volzhinsky were deprived of conditional right of residence for two years and were expelled from Leningrad. In late October 1926 Boronina and the bakery worker Boris Soloviev were sent to Tashkent and Saakov and Kochetov to Saratov followed by Chukovskaya in December. In Saratov there were many exiles with many anarchists among them. Among these was Dina Tsoyrif, who had already served time in Rostov on the Don. Dina was more experienced and older than those expelled from Leningrad. She was already 26, and in in 1918 and had fought in an anarchist unit during the civil war. She was born in Kiev. Her husband, also an anarchist, was serving time in Sverdlovsk. Chukovskaya’s father exercised his influence with important figures in the Communist regime and eventually obtained her release to Leningrad. The GPU continued their surveillance of Kochetov, Goulnikov, Kira Sturmer and Chukovskaya, and in Tver where Georgei Sturmer had been sent. By now he and Boronina and Chukovskaya professed to be moving away from anarchism. Boronina began working for the GPU and gathered information for it. In spring 1929 Dina Tsoyrif came to Leningrad and got a job as a statistician. Saakov and Rakov also returned as well as Aida Bacevich. Soon there were new arrests with Dina and her husband Nikolai Viktorov, Kochetov, Bacevich and several others being rounded up. Many were released for lack of evidence but Tsoyrif, Viktorov and Rakov were sent to a political isolator for three years, and Kochetov was exiled for three years in Central Asia. Again in 1935 Dina was exiled for 3 years in the Northern Territory and her husband for the same amount of time in the Kirov region, whilst Rakov was exiled to Kazakhstan. The worker Ilya Skorodiumov was released for lack of evidence in a case involving Dina in 1932 but in December 1939 he was sentenced to three years in the camps on the charges that for several years until the beginning of 1938 he had engaged in counter-revolutionary agitation and kept in touch with anarchists, speaking out against the Stakhanov movement and the material conditions of workers. Ilya died in 1941 while serving the sentence. In Leningrad in 1937-1938 Rima Nikolaev, Andrei Sparionapte and Julian Schutsky, survivors of the smashing of the anarchist-anthroposophical circles in Tashkent were shot, whilst Kira Sturmer and her husband Anton Shlyakovsky, along with Boris Shivobokov, were executed in Bashkiria on 13th November 1937. In 1946-1947 the security police began procedures for the arrest of Garin-Mikhailov, Saakov and Tamara Zimmerman. In 1953 the Bryansk KGB began to put together a case against Kochetov, based on what had happened back in 1926! During the war Boronina remained in Leningrad and buried her mother, who died of malnutrition. By the end of the war Boronina was a fairly well-known children's writer, She was awarded the medal For Defense of Leningrad and For Valiant Labour in the Great Patriotic War. But this did not exonerate her from being arrested on Oct. 30th 1950 on charges that she "in the past was the organizer and leader of one of the anarchist circles dissolved in 1926 in Leningrad, the anti-Soviet underground anarchist organization" and that she "did not abandon her earlier anarchist beliefs and over the years among her entourage expressed hostile attitudes to Soviet power, slandering the leader of the Soviet people and the policy of the Communist Party in the field of literature and art ". Boronina pleaded that she had been working for the secret police and denied the charges. She stated that under various aliases she had worked in Tashkent during exile, and then Leningrad until 1945. But in 1950, the investigators were more interested in denunciations of Boronina: that she expressed terrorist intentions. During a search books by Bakunin and Kropotkin were seized. Because Boronina had worked for the secret police her hearing was held behind closed doors. She was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in a camp on February 17, 1951 and sent to Mordovia. In January 1954 she filed an application with the Central Committee with a request for rehabilitation. The condemnation was annulled on November 1, 1954 and she was released. Soon after, she died on May 29th 1955. The troubles that Chukovskaya had with the regime did not end with her distancing from anarchism. Her husband, the eminent physicist Matvei Petrovich Bronstein was shot on Feb. 18, 1938. She later became a noted writer, famous for her Sofia Petrovna which dealt with the Great Purges, and still had some of her rebellious spirit of her youth when she came to the defence of dissident writers. In 1969 the Culture Department of the Central Committee opposed the creation of a museum dedicated to her father because of the events of 1926. Chukovskaya was to remark that she was only peripherally involved with the anarchist movement and always maintained this position throughout her life. She did remark that workers involved in the round-up got far worse treatment than the students. On July 8, 1997 Chukovskaya was exonerated on all previous charges due to lack of evidence. She had already died on February 7, 1996. Just found this has been translated into Greek. Would be good to get this up in our Greek language section. Looks like on that same site there are a few other translations of articles by Nick Heath; would be good to get them all up here (also would have been nice if they credited the source)
It really important to know about chronic stage 4 kidney disease for prevention and treatment purposes. It a part of the chronic disease which is caused due to an injury or other disorders, like diabetes and high blood pressure. As the function to filter the blood and do their other functions in a proper manner. All those patients, who are suffering from the chronic stage 4 kidney disease, know that the state of life they are running is not capable of living a quality life. Just that they are living a life with impaired heart disease, kidney failure risks and catheters top support the normal routine of urine, patients cannot afford to live an independent life. Patients who live with chronic kidney disease are clear in their mind that there is no proper cure for the organs they have originated in themselves whereas they can only afford to have treatments through procedures and operations to live a successful and accomplished life. In most cases, patients suffer lifetime for the filtration of their blood through dialysis or through chemo-dialysis both remarked for making their quality of life better. The chronic stage 4 of kidney disease have developed a time of swelling around their knee joints, shoulders and bulge around their intestines. Many develop intestinal problems as well, which makes their stomach bulges and causes multiple joint pains. There is a severe need for the patients of the chronic stage 4 kidney disease to look for their diet, movement and fluid intake/out take requirements while being administered with it. Whatever treatments are available is a bit expensive while it is also very painful for the patient to bear this disease. There is no specific age for the patients being caught by this disease; it can be a result to a heart attack; that can take place at any age, with a lot of complications. So is the need for change in the diet plan, exercise and their feasibility to move around their life freely. The patients need to develop this thing in mind that their change in diet is a must for the coming stages of his life. The stage four of chronic kidney disease is a critical time where the patients feel that their life is dangerous and their kidney’s result performing just 10-20%. Their health is at a serious risk of bone problems, less energy power and anemia-lower red blood count. If like was trickled before the chronic stage 4 kidney disease, there was a possibility that the blood vessels could be operated through a minor surgery which could result in the opening of blood vessels through graft. This graft is a method which is used to open and stitch the blood vessels, opened with a soft tube vessel that is made up of synthetic material. If the patient can be cured through the dilatation procedure or through the processes of the dialysis which can be performed on a suitable note, meant to keep the kidneys alive, such a process could be healthy for the regeneration of the damaged kidneys. One thing sounds clear that the patient who is suffering from such a disease has no other way to spend his life other than being cured on the bed, be it a hospital or his very own home place. Patients who are at a serious risk or probably chasing the chronic kidney disease stage 4 are recommended to go through the procedure of transplantation. Kidney transplantation is a procedure where a dead person or a willingly healthy person’s kidney is inserted through the treatment of transplantation. The sick patient passes through heavy doses of medicines, followed by dialysis and then a large and a major operation remarked as transplantation. This procedure of transplantation for the chronic kidney disease is even a high risk of their lives, where the patient has a risk to live his life for a longer period of time. There is a risk for the transplantation, as if it suits the patient in an appropriate manner; he will not have to suffer for another course of dialysis, which is meant for cleaning and filtering the blood. In case, where the patient is unable to suit the transplantation, the doctors suggest trying out with newly inserted kidneys and getting the patient a better life. One thing is very important in the chronic stage 4 kidney disease that if the patient is passing through low damaged kidneys, and is unable to cope with the basic requirements set to make the quality of life better. There is a high risk for the other kidney to be affected soon, thus making the patient in a more severe and a worse condition. The doctors and the specialists prefer having the patients suffer a course of pain earlier, rather than after damaging other parts of the body. There are a lot of other treatments made whereas the most appropriate ones for the ones suffering from the chronic kidney disease stage 4 is the appropriate usage of diet plan, with restricted movement and whenever feasible, transplantation. We cannot clearly state that this case of transplantation can suit the patient well, as cases have been reported where the patients have suffered from sudden death, and death after few days have passed the transplant. Well no one can say that luck works in here, it’s more of a medical condition but the earlier most you fall in the chronic kidney disease stage 4 it is preferred to get your life healthy from these procedures and available treatments. All the basic guidelines, reasons and treatments have been well defined for all the patients suffering from the stage four kidney disease, as it is a very common problem which unfortunately is a mixed factor of some inter-related diseases. The main point being that the patients should look for their disease in an early time, so that they are able to avoid the dangers and pain of the last moments. There should be a strict control over the prescribed diets with an appropriate usage of medicines and due consultations to make your life easy and better from the chronic stage 4 kidney disease.

Cloud technology has enabledprocesses that allowfor better management of demands during the so-called peak periods. Email specialists with decades of experience, constantly working on developing innovative solutions. Choosing an email address validator can take some time. There are many companies on the market that offer this type of service, but you can use these aspects to guide you: accuracy, price, data protection standards, and the quality of their customer support. Compare the plans that they offer against the expense you have to incur on the deal. Sign up for one that will meet your business requirements. Opt for one that has been operating on the market for a longer period. This way, you will know that you have settled for the email address validator your business deserves. From a financial, social, and/or professional point of view, what is the best age to start having kids? Thirty. There’s a reason that 30 is the default child-bearing age for your standard non-Mormon. There’s a lot of shit that has to get done before you go and willfully end your social life like that. You gotta get through school, and settle into a job, and get married (or find a longtime partner if you’re one of those annoying people who despises marriage on principle), and watch your friends start having babies, and be married long enough that there’s no longer much to talk about. Oh, and you gotta DRINK. You gotta drink and smoke all the pot and fuck all you can, so that you can have finally the kid and say to yourself, “Okay, I definitely did not miss out on any fun shit.” By 30, you’re likely to have covered a lot of that. Thirty is also young enough so that you will still be ambulatory after the kids have grown. You can be an active grandparent, and go to dinner parties, and take boner pills and have a good time. You don’t wanna still be raising small kids when you’re fucking 50. Mick Jagger is having another kid. He’ll be dead by the time that kid reaches kindergarten (at which point Keith will assume partial custody). It’s nonsensical. Of course, the problem is that the ideal social age to have a kid has NO relation at all to the ideal BIOLOGICAL age to have a kid. As I’ve said before, God is a perverted weirdo who engineered us to crank out babies at, like, age 18. It’s a complete mismatch with the demands of the modern world. More women are having children when they get older, and any woman over the age of 35 has to have her pregnancy closely monitored because of the increased risk of birth defects. Frankly, it’s a crisis. We have to find a way to make late pregnancies safer, OR we have to create some kind of sophisticated perma-daycare operation—perhaps housed in the soon-to-be-vacant Georgia Dome—that’s free to the public and uses high-tech robot nannies to raise your kid for you if you had it at 18 and don’t want to hang out with it until it can drive a car. I support the DomeCare initiative fully. Robo-Nanny will give my child all the attention that I cannot. And if the Robo-Nannies rise up and rebel against us—deploying our children as human shields—they will PAY. Mark my words. You are going down, Rosie the Robot. Or we can have more older men impregnate more younger women, which I’m sure would go over splendidly. Does leaving your flashers on while illegally parked actually make any difference in whether you get a ticket? If so, how long will it work for? I haven’t gotten a ticket with them on yet! PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING, FOLKS. As far as I’m concerned, I can double park on the White House lawn and have it be legal so long as my hazards are on. Of course, that doesn’t get rid of the paranoia I feel any time I double park. I turn the hazards on and sit there for 20 seconds before I start scanning for cops in every direction. They’re out there, man. When they find me parked on this litter of puppies, they are NOT gonna be happy. Maybe I should circle around. I should definitely circle around. Then I circle around six times, turn my hazards on again, and start silently cursing everyone. I don’t even wanna know what kinda Turkish prison I’d be dragged to if I didn’t remember to have my blinkers going. I think the only time I’ve been approached to move is by a hotel valet, and that’s because airport cops and hotel valets will shoot anyone who stays curbside for longer than three seconds. I like to turn on the engine and wave to the valet like, “Oh! Thank you sir, for alerting me to the fact that I should move!” Then I mutter “asshole” under my breath as I pull away. Who does that fuckface think he is? LORD OF THE DRIVEWAYS? I’m just trying to pick up my nana, you raging prick. It’s fine so long as it’s YOUR shower. I wouldn’t go sitting in a gym shower, or a prison shower. People will talk. But if you’re at home? Go for it, man. Pretend you’re a cop and you just got done with a child murder case. You’re glad you caught the bastard that did it… but the things you saw, man. SOMETIMES THIS JOB CAN GET TO YOU. Let the water rush over your face. Imagine a child chorus singing that “Hallelujah” song right outside the shower door. Savor the melodrama because it’s not like you can stay down there for long anyway. Eventually, your tailbone will cry out in agony and you will have to snap out of it. When I was a kid, I loved sitting in the shower, especially any post-pool shower. I coulda hung out in that shower for an hour, and I did! It never occurred to me that my parents probably knew I was in there for too long, just playing with my dick. When I find myself without a spoon, I sometimes like to eat applesauce via a straw. I suspect this is psycho behavior, because I would be embarrassed if someone came across me doing it at my workplace. On the flip side, applesauce is more “plasma” than it is “solid food,” and it would be much crazier to, say, eat it with my hands. Slurping it out of the cup seems ... undignified. Is this some lunatic shit I need to knock off, or am I good? No, you’re fine. In fact, you’re ahead of the curve because my kids eat Gogo Squeezes and that’s applesauce in a pouch. You can get applesauce and yogurt in drinkable form now, and the world doesn’t seem to be howling with outrage at the notion. The applesauce pouches are great because if you give the average kid a spoonful of applesauce, they will then attempt to conduct a symphony with it. They are fucking incapable of keeping the sauce on the spoon. So, instead of being patient and helping them master a fundamental life skill, I have chosen the easy way out and given them pouch food that will have them suckling like an infant until age 37. I see no problem with my decision. So if you like drinking your applesauce, go ahead and buy the pouches. Or, better yet, drink it out of a MUG at work. Get a big jar of Mott’s, empty it into your coffee cup, and walk around all day being like, “There’s nothing better than a crisp mug of applesauce to start your day.” People will die. About a month ago, I was in Old Quebec with a good friend from Savannah, Georgia. While at dinner in a finely appointed restaurant one night, he overheard a couple behind us mention to their waitress that they were from Savannah as well. My friend immediately went over to introduce himself while I sat there, aghast. He claims that a) he’d always do that if he met a person from Savannah somewhere three states or more away and b) the hurricane moving towards Savannah at the time meant that he REALLY had to talk to them. I called him a social terrorist. Who would want strangers barging in on their vacation time? No one enjoys that. Who’s right here? You’re right, but I promise you that your friend will never accept that because he is a SUTHUHNUH and therefore you don’t get his strange rituals and customs. “Why, I do declare, if you do not introdewce yo’self to a fellow Savannahian, Jim Williams will NEVUH invite you to his Christmas party, good sir!” For you see, in the South they do things just a little bit different from Y’ALL UP NORTH. I was Gchatting with Spencer Hall the other day and I told him I ate too much salt and he was like, “Salt’s my weakness. It’s a super southern thing.” And I was like, “It’s an EVERYONE thing, you shithead.” And then he was like, “Have you eaten at a Zaxby’s?” And then I was like NO BUT DON’T COME AT ME LIKE THAT. You don’t get to own the salt space just because you live in Atlanta and have some decent fast food options. When cutting a pizza, do you try and cut 8 (or 10) perfectly equal slices or do you slice around toppings to create unequal sized slices but better topping distribution? I hate getting a slice of pizza and it has 1/2 a pepperoni hanging off the side held up by cheese. I can’t be the only person who does this, can I? I go for equal slices for a couple of reasons. First off all, it’s hard to avoid hitting a pepperoni roadblack when you’re cutting ANY line through a pizza. If there are a lot of bare spots on that pie, it means they fucked up and didn’t give you enough pepperoni. Secondly, cutting through the pepperoni is an easy way to steal bonus pepperoni. Did the slice fold up and stick to you pizza cutter? Well now, that’s an extra little treat for you. And will Billy notice if you pluck half a pepperoni that’s dangling from one of his sides before you serve it to him? Nope. What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him. You see the angles I’m playing? The person who gets the most pepperoni wins. They also die of congenital heart failure, but they die A CHAMPION. What band has had the biggest fall from grace in music history? It’s gotta be Creed. As far as album sales and concert tickets, they might have been the biggest band in the world in the late 90s/early 00s. Now, they’re nothing but a punching bag. I don’t think anyone even listens to them ironically, like Poison, for example. They’re just a bad band that everyone wants to forget they listened to in the first place. Runner-up would probably be Limp Bizkit. It’s Milli Vanilli. I know Creed is a punchline these days, but Milli Vanilli were basically trotted out into the public square and beaten with a cane. Everyone piled on them, with virtually no sympathy for Rob & Fab because people thought Milli Vanilli was lame to begin with. They had their Grammys stripped. They were sued into oblivion, consigned to a podunk label, and then never heard from again until one of the guys died. Vanilla Ice runs second on this list (his only hit was a shameless ripoff, and then 3rd Bass roasted his smug ass into oblivion), and even he turned out relatively fine compared to poor Rob & Fab. By the way, those two made a comeback album using their real voices that has never been released. And you know what? That’s for the best. I hope it stays buried forever so that those two don’t have to be subjected to another round of beatings. All they wanted was to make you happy, YOU MONSTERS. You could also argue that Michael Jackson belongs on this list. But ever since he died, the whole “He probably paid off families of kids he molested” thing really faded away. Quite the magic trick. HEE HEE! OWWWWWWW!!! How in the fuck is it 2016 and we still don’t have an engineering fix for the gap between a drivers’ seat in a car and the console or outer door? I assumed the reason why is because if something in the console or under the seat breaks, you or your mechanic want to be able to access it without tearing anything out of the interior. This is especially true with modern cars, because so much of your shit relies on computers and electrical shit inside the car, and if any of that breaks you’re gonna get pillaged on the invoice. But just to be certain, I asked Mike Ballaban over at Jalopnik for an answer, because I know dick all about cars. Here’s what he said: Apparently a lot of it is a packaging problem. One factor is that seats are designed around the human body, whereas doors and consoles are not. The other problem is that there’s got to be a little wiggle room for the seat to spread out a bit when someone sits down. The last problem is that you could design a center console that curves around a driver’s seat, but if the driver wants to move their seat back and forth, then the curved-around console would block that. The solution would be to put the seats and the center console into one unit, but then you basically get a front bench seat. As to why there’s a gap between the seat and the door, we’re thinking it’s because there’s probably some regulation somewhere that might rule against anything potentially inhibiting the latch of the door, plus side airbags tend to be built into the seat itself, and there’s got to be a little bit of room for your shoulder/hip and for if that airbag has to deploy. Got all that? Basically, you’re basically getting a safe, cushy, independent front seat of your own (maybe one of those racy racing seats VROOM VROOM), and sacrificing the occasional quarter for it. I know it sucks to lose your things down there. I know that when a child throws something vital on the floor—a phone, a toothbrush, a passport—it invariably ends up trapped in the farthest reaches of the car’s spiritual crawlspace. But it’s probably worth it so that the airbag goes off when a drunk guy in a Camaro decides to T-Bone your car. I do miss bench seats, though. There’s a reason that old boat cars with bench seats get tricked up by people: because they’re super roomy and badass. You can fuck right there in front! Who’s got room to fuck in a Prius, I ask you? WHATEVER HAPPENED TO OUR SENSE OF DANGER?! I dated a girl for like a month and I constantly felt like she was pushing me to be more official, so I finally talked with her about being exclusive and she wanted to do it. Three days later she breaks up with me because she claims we were better as friends. My question: Can I actually say she was my girlfriend and thus my ex- or do I just tally this up as someone I briefly dated? It counts! Listen, man: The best way to score a new girlfriend is to have an old girlfriend. That’s a fact. That’s the reason it’s damn near impossible to get laid as a teenager (at least, in my own personal experience). No girl wants to date some loser who’s never had a girlfriend. They want a proven commodity. When I was 15, you could have brushed against me and I would have told everyone, “Yep, that’s my girlfriend!” One girl wrote me a postcard once and I basically assumed we were married. It was a really desperate time. So I say if you two decided to be serious, you had yourself a girlfriend. It doesn’t matter if it lasted three days. There’s no annulment process for girlfriends. You get to claim that shit on your resume, fair and square. And then other girls will be like, “Oh wow, he had a girlfriend once! He’s definitely not a creep!” They totally keep tabs on that kind of stuff. How good is the feeling when you see someone in public (across the store, etc) and successfully navigate yourself out without making boring small talk? The easiest way to do is this to cry out, “It was great seeing you!” and then move on. That’s your kicker. That puts an end to the small talk and lets the other person know you have important things to tend to. And you can drop it quickly, like so: BOOM. Done. You’re out. You’ve fulfilled your social obligations efficiently and without coming off like an aloof prick. Well done. Go drink alone to reward yourself. Does the president dress up for Halloween? Shouldn’t he have to? And we could do a big reveal on the White House lawn and play Monster Mash. This should exist. I agree. There should be a Halloween State Dinner and Putin should come dressed as a centaur and everything. The President should also be Santa, too. Put Trump in a Santa suit and have a bunch of filthy kids sit on his lap until his head explodes from the heightening germophobia. If he truly LOVES THE PEOPLE and wants to win the War on Christmas, he’ll suck it up. I live in Minneapolis but didn’t grow up anywhere near Minnesota. I am not a fan of the Vikings, so listening to Meatsauce and the Hawkman on sports radio is worse than being hit by a car when the Vikings are winning so I take extreme pleasure in every Vikings loss because nothing is better than those dipshits whining and crying on the air about the unfairness of life. This is all acceptable, right? Yes. The whole point of sports talk radio is to bitch. Who the fuck wants to listen to Mike Francesa after a New York team WINS something? No one. But have Odell Beckham drop a few passes after hanging out on a boat and everyone in New York is like YO I GOTTA HEAR WHUT MIKE HAS TO SAY ABOUT DIS, A-GABBAGOOL SCUNGILLI MAMA MIA! Losing makes for better radio. Ask anyone listening to Finebaum today. However, I have to warn you that there’s a flipside to all that hate-listening. Yes, it’s fun to tune into Goofer and the Butthole’s Drivetime Tit Fiesta when a team you hate loses. But when they WIN, it’s awful. It’s the worst shit ever. Take it from someone living in DC: you never want Skins fans to be happy. Give them an inch of smug and they are OFF. It’s like Cowboys fans right now. Dallas fans restored their insufferability so, so fast. Every message board right now has HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS as every other post. Given that you hate-listen to Vikings radio, you’re on relatively safe ground, but I would still beware. All that schadenfreude can come back to bite you in the ass. Who would have guessed? I have three kids. They fight over everything. Currently, three of them are fighting over my heating pad. I thought to myself “Maybe I’ll just pick up another one when I go out.” Do I have to buy three of everything? Do I throw everything I have only one of, away? Or do I let them hate each other until they’re 35? Do NOT buy one of everything. Don’t get sucked into that. Even before I became a parent, I was haunted by the Bonestorm episode of The Simpsons where Bart sees the spoiled brat demand his mom get two copies of the game… Don’t be that parent. Stand your ground. Ninety percent of parenting is WEATHERING THE STORM. Your kid wants something, and you don’t want them to have it. So they freak the fuck out and it’s a pain in the ass. But if you stand your ground for a while (and they can bitch for a LONG time), the kid usually accepts reality and stops complaining. But you have to withstand that initial onslaught of pissing and moaning. If you give in and buy each kid a heating pad, they’ll always assume you’ll do that, and they’ll never work with one another to solve problems and share crap. If they keep fighting over the one pad, put it away forever. Dying of hypothermia will toughen them up. I’m sitting in a Philadelphia diner and I see a lox and cream cheese omelet on the menu. Is this okay or is this gross? Smoked salmon is my favorite food, so you could put it in septic tank and I’d eat it. But I would not recommend a lox and cream cheese omelet. Lox is best when it’s cold, and there are much better cheeses to stuff inside an omelet (cheddar, feta, etc). You are not getting the optimal lox and cream cheese experience with that omelet. Have a lox bagel with a regular omelet on the side instead. It’ll beef you up good. Also, a lot of sushi joints now offer a Philly roll, which has smoked salmon and cream cheese on the inside. I’ve had this couple times now and can’t decide if I like it or if it’s utterly repugnant. How shocking would it be if Jerry Jones were to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame? I understand he is nominated not as the Cowboys GM but rather as a “contributor” a category for owners, former commissioners, etc. And yes, few owners have been better at figuring out how to squeeze more money television networks, sponsors and local municipalities. But this man is also unequivocally one of the worst general managers of our lives. This is a guy who traded UP to draft Quincy Carter. They can’t possibly let that man give an acceptance speech at Canton, can they? Of course they can. Jerry basically runs the league. You think he isn’t making the Hall? Come on, now. That shit isn’t about merit. I’ve told this story before, but Tony Kornheiser once said on the radio that it was perfectly fine for Hall voters to reject Art Monk because he wasn’t cooperative with the media during his playing days. Jerry will sweet-talk everyone he has to sweet-talk, and then muscle his way in. And frankly, he probably deserves to be in there anyway. No one said you had to make a GOOD impact to have your impact on the game of football be Hall-worthy. Jerry’s a crazy asshole, but he’s the reason the NFL now has the ability to graft Papa John’s brand signage directly onto your vital organs. The man is a pioneer. While reading about the Alex Smith concussion saga, It occurred to me that we’re better off if Football was played a on a springy turf surface. Think floor exercise from the Olympics, but covered in grass. I think that could potentially make things worse because with floor springs (so much fun), you’d be jumping up higher and falling to the ground from an even greater distance. Guys could launch themselves at you from 15 feet away, which would probably end badly. This is why Slamball never became the sport of the future. When I was 21 I was spending New Years Eve at a friend’s house with the sole intention on hooking up with this girl who I knew would be there. After drinking my face off I head into the bathroom to take a piss, I end up pissing all over the floor and then proceed to clean it up using all of the toilet paper. The toilet is now filled with toilet paper, I guess I pissed so hard that now I had to poop. So I unleash a solid log right on top of all this paper. I attempt a flush, no luck, there’s no plunger in the bathroom. I ask my friend’s father where the plunger is and I said I clogged the toilet with paper. He offers to go downstairs and get the plunger and do it for me. I panic because I’m embarrassed he will see this gigantic turd. As I’m about to head back into the bathroom, the girl I am going for is about to go in. I tell her someone else clogged it and to use the one upstairs. I then run into the kitchen and in my drunken haze grab a Disney Cinderella glass and decide I’m going to scoop the turd out with this glass. After doing this I’m now standing in the bathroom... holding a glass with a Disney princess on it with a gigantic piece of shit in it. This is now a covert operation in order to get away from the crime scene. I put on my coat, and sneak this thing out of the house under my coat, passing my friend’s mom, grandmother, and some aunts and uncles as I head out the front door. I run down the block and toss this thing into their neighbors bush. I often think what that neighbor must have thought upon finding this glass with a big piece of shit in it.

I'm new here, so please link me to and/or delete this thread if there is already one going related to this. I'd like to ask those of you more in the collecting biz than I, what do you like or not like about CHUG/Voyager collecting or Legends Class/Size collecting. I'm asking because I'm just getting into this and trying to decide if I want to stick with the figure size I already have a few of, or save space and go small. To me, larger scale collecting makes for a more impressive shelf. I collect MP's as well as CHUG, but when it comes to the mainline stuff, I prefer Voyagers and deluxes. Leaders are okay, but it's easier to fake a scale without them. Legend/Legion/Cyberverse is awesome to collect. It's almost easy to build an army of different figures. You have modern Legends and Cyberverse Commanders as the 'leaders', and Legion/Cyberverse as the troops. I can see that, especially in the Collections Gallery. I'm not one for grabbing everything that looks cool to me (I'd love to, but don't have the funds or the space), so I just try to get the absolute best iterations (in my opinion) of each character, all within the same (relative) scale. That last part is proving to be difficult. I wondered about doing just the above with the smaller figures, but the 3P stuff in that size seems few and far in between. The mainline stuff in that size has almost always dissapointed me. This may change, however, as I absolutely love the Legends Shockwave from Combiner Wars. I've already obtained a few deluxe/voyager CHUG figures (mostly Deluxe), and I love them a lot. I actually just got the Comic versions of Toyworld's Orion and Hegemon. They're both great, but Hegemon is the one that has cemented his place as my megatron. Orion is just too...beefy maybe? for me. EDIT: Let me rephrase my opinion on Orion. He's a fantastic callback to both the Marvel Optimus and the IDW Optimus. Just not geewun enough, as the rest of my collection is very much modernizations of G1 characters. Aside from trying to figure out what to do with my life in regards to Transformers, my original post still stands. I'd love to hear some opinions on CHUG vs Legends. What do you like most about the two scales? What are some of your absolute favorite figures from each? Which are the best legends figures ever? Scale doesn't really matter much to me. While a Voyager/Leader Optimus next to a Deluxe Bumblebee looks good on the shelf and aligns with the fiction, it's not a requirement for my collection. I also like the idea of shelves full of Legends/Legion/Cyberverse-sized figures. Unity in size class. The larger the collection is, the more room they take up (obviously), so Legends have always appealed to me in terms of space. However, some Legends figures pale in comparison to their CHUG interpretations (Legends Hound compared to Classics Hound? No contest). There are also figures that don't have a Legends counterpart (Classics Jetfire?), making it difficult to get an "entire cast" in your collection. Most Legends figures have similar transformations (is it a car? Then I'm guessing the hood flips down, the back of the car separates into legs, and the arms form the sides), if not simple transformations. If part of the enjoyment of the figures is the fun of transforming them, Legends might not be the way to go. I love my CHUG collection. I'm a big fan of size variety, so having titans, combiners, leaders, ultras (RIP), voyagers, deluxe and scouts is fantastic. On the other hand, if I was starting out now, I might try to go legends just because of the playset factor - FortMax, Metroplex, the upcoming Trypticon and all the TR Leaders. Plus, you know, the space factor - I can't display half my collection right now. My wallet is wheezing in it's final death throes, but you guys are really convincing me to go with both sizes. What to do, what to do..... On another note, any opinions on official vs 3P legends figures? Do they look good together, how do they stack up in quality, etc. If you're not opposed to 3P, the Legends figures are worth looking into. I can't justify the $100 figures, and $30-$50 for a Legends figure is a little crazy, but it's something I can handle. I have a few (Like IronFactory's Soundwave and Windblade) and definitely enjoy them. You'll get some more interesting and involved transformations and better detail/paint with 3P Legends. Plus, they make it easier to fill out the ranks with figures not released by Hasbro in that size class. I love everything by Ironfactory, but I can agree the prices are off-putting. The Windblade is just the cutest little thing. Which 3P companies have put out good figures in that size other than IronFactory anyway? They're really the only ones I've heard of. Is there anywhere I can easily search for legends size figures? A database or something? And is there any easy way to shop for them? Just looking around on TFSource and BBTS, "transformers legends" doesn't really get me what I was looking for. Finally, could I get some recommendations for a Megatron and Optimus in this size? I've just got the TF3DOTM guys with their trailers, and they don't really do it for me. DX9 put out a legends-class Blurr, Ironhide, Ratchet, Scourge, Cyclonus, Galvatron, Kup, Arcee, and Megatron in their "War In Pocket" line. TFC Toys put out an Optimus, MEgatron, Rodimus, and the Seekers in their "Targetroids" line (though these figures turn into guns rather than their usual alt modes, but I absolutely love the Seekers and Rodimus in this line. Yeah, it's really hard to look for these when the 3P companies can't use the "Transformers" name and try to avoid using the same size class names like "Legends" (doubly difficult when Hasbro has the "legends" size class and Takara has the "Legends" toyline). Threads like this are a great way to get that info. Once you know what you're looking for, check the Junkion Exchange here on TFW. Oftentimes, these figures are sold in sets/pairs, and you'll find someone who wants to split up a set (that's how I got my DX9 Blurr - I didn't care for the Ironhide that he came with). And there's always ebay. Not that you shouldn't support stores like TFSource (especially ones who are site sponsors), but I've noticed that these figures sell out fast, or are long gone by the time you learn about them. My definitive Megatron at this size is the Targetroid from TFC. HE doesn't turn into a tank or his usual gun, but he does turn into a weapon, and that's good enough for me. Hasbro did put out a legends Megatron in the Reveal The Shield line, and that one DOES turn into his original gun (albeit with an orange tip), but I'm not a fan of the proportions of either mode. The robot modes for the targetroids are gorgeous! The gun modes are...eh. But whatever. That legends Megs is pretty alright in gun mode, but I agree his robot mode is just awful. I'm also trying to downsize my collection, and hoping that someone posts some other legends-size 3P figs that I haven't seen yet, so I could sell off some of these bigger figures. Speaking of other ones, I really don't dig Hybrid Style Convoy. But he seems the best Optimus prime (in robot mode) at this size. I remember seeing somewhere that there was a Megatron made by another company to go with that Convoy, but can't remember his name for the life of me. EDIT: Is there a way to search the Junkion threads that I'm too dumb to find? Or do you have to troll your way through them to find what you want? DOUBLE EDIT: His name is MIGHTRON. He's another War In Pocket dude. Looks amazing. (NOT the "Supreme Leader" one, that one's bigger). Speaking of other ones, I really don't dig Hybrid Style Convoy. But he seems the best Optimus prime (in robot mode) at this size... I have the Hybrid Style Convoy, but I was thinking about selling him. He's a gorgeous figure, essentially a scaled-down MP, but some parts just seem far too fragile. I'm loving the accessories, but I've only transformed him a couple of times and now he's just collecting dust. Dude, the Junkion search straight-up sucks. I'll search for a keyword, and it'll give me threads that don't even have the keyword in it. It also doesn't help that some members insist on keeping their sold items listed, so I'll have to slog through thread after thread of "WFC Soundwave - SOLD" before I actually find one for sale. Your best bet is to post in the "Wanted" section of the Junkion Exchange and hope someone sees it that way. I've always thought he was a good robot, his vehicle mode was just deplorable. How fragile do you mean? So fragile that he'd break just by falling off a shelf? EDIT: I'm watching Peaugh's review of HS Convoy and he's breaking apart as I watch. Is there really no substitute for Hybrid-Style at this scale? Other than the pen prime, anyway? I just did some wiki-ing about different size classes. So are these Iron factory and DX9 guys more legends/legion size or commander/scout size? They have wild* variations in size. Ultra Magnus from IF is nearly deluxe size, I believe. Their Scorponok is between deluxe and voyager (maybe even straight voyager?). Most of the figures are legends size, though. Ooooooh, okay. That makes more sense now, thank you. Wow, these Junkion threads aren't the easiest to deal with for sure. Okay, there are some really great figures in this size. Even some official ones! But only some of the newest official ones. I'll definitely be keeping some of my CHUG figures though, as they're amazing. Especially the generations ones, as well as Orion & Hegemon.

Richard Rasmussen kicks off his top 10 tips for selling print businesses | Print21 – Print industry news and information for Australia & New Zealand Ascent Partners principal, Richard Rasmussen, offers the first of his Top 10 Tips to get the best value in the sale of your printing business. Some may recall he offered these tips back in the middle of the GFC. It’s interesting to see what’s changed in the business sales landscape since then, and what remains the same. Most printing businesses don’t have an exit strategy. They rely on happenstance and don’t really have a plan. As you would expect in my business, I keep a record of those considering selling. Many ask me what their business is worth, and what the market is like for business sales. More often than not, they put that information in their memory bank and say “keep in touch, maybe in a few years”. And they keep on trading, rarely really changing much about the way they plan to exit. But, at that point, they really should be putting a plan in place to work out how they need to exit, what they need to do to prepare to exit, and when they want to exit. But all too often it’s left to happenstance. No plan is put in place; no real structural changes to the business are made. The reality is that what tips most proprietors into sales mode is an “event”, not carefully exit planning. Common events include an illness, a major client leaving, a key staff member leaving, a lease renewal, or your sibling deciding they do not want to take over the business. In today’s tough print environment it’s now unfortunately also the call by the creditors forcing the sale / liquidation or the fact that your spouse does not want to tip any more money into the business. The problem with the “event” sale is that it is ad hoc / relatively unplanned. It does not prepare the business for sale to be at the point where: The aim should be to find the right person that values your clients, premises, equipment, systems, IP, brand and staff when you’re ready. Take away any of these components and it is likely your value will be diminished. And that’s the problem with ad hoc sales – the business is not ready for sale. One or more of these components are not ready and the result is that the proprietor misses out. The deal on the table is not what they need / expected and doesn’t address their personal exiting objectives. Early exit planning, say four years out, forces proprietors to focus on what they need to do to provide them with the greatest equity (walk away dollars), and what will allow them to fulfil their personal objectives, such as phasing out of the business over time. The best selling price shouldn’t be the primary target – as far as price is concerned, the best walk away dollars should be, and that is not just at the point of sale, it is also in the build up to the sale – over the next four years. And, maybe post the sale, working with the acquirer. For example would you prefer to get $1,000,000 for the business, with net liabilities that you need to pay out from this amount of $600,000, or would you prefer to get $800,000 for the business with net liabilities of $250,000? Common liabilities you need to pay out at time of sale are staff entitlements, equipment and business loans and the ATO (GST / capital gains). Perhaps the greatest of all these liabilities is the equipment loans. Unfortunately with the falling values of equipment, many will be surprised to find they have negative equity in some equipment. This provides another good reason to plan and research before the sale decision. The exit planning process should include your accountant, although they are not the ones to advise you on your machinery values (machinery value does not equal written down value or pay out value), nor are the best ones to appraise your business’s value – how would they know what printing businesses sell for? Unfortunately, most of the time they rely solely on accounting formulas and the equipment book values. Don’t wait for the “event”, and, as a consequence, being forced into a sale at a price you may be very surprised by (more often than not disappointed by). It’s better to find out what the business is worth now, even if you are not planning to sell for a few years. As part of the appraisal, get the appraiser to break down the two components of this value into plant and equipment value and goodwill, and ask them to provide a rationale / evidence as to how they arrived at those figures. This rationale helps in the decisions you subsequently make in the lead up to exit. It provides a starting point to plan. Without it, you’re really only working on gut feel, and when it comes time to sell, you’re really hoping on a figure, rather than having a realistic idea of what that figure may be.

Toronto Raptors forward Serge Ibaka (9) looks to pass under pressure from Milwaukee Bucks forward Jabari Parker (12) and forward Khris Middleton (22) during the first half of an NBA basketball game Friday, Feb. 23, 2018, in Toronto. (Chris Young/The Canadian Press via AP) TORONTO (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks felt extra good about getting a rare win against the Toronto Raptors. Antetokounmpo had 26 points and 12 rebounds, and Milwaukee snapped Toronto’s seven-game win streak with a 122-119 overtime victory Friday night. “We haven’t beaten them in a while so the win feels a lot better, to be honest with you,” Antetokounmpo said. “They’re a great team, too.” Eric Bledsoe and Khris Middleton each scored 21 points as the Bucks won the opener of an eight-game stretch against teams in playoff contention. Jason Terry scored 14 points, and John Henson and Thon Maker each had 12. “It’s a big gut-check and a big win for us,” Middleton said. “This is the best team in the East and we proved that we could beat them on the road.” DeMar DeRozan scored 33 points for the Raptors, who had won five straight home games against the Bucks, and 15 of the past 17 meetings. Toronto also eliminated Milwaukee in the opening round of last year’s playoffs. The teams will not meet again in the regular season. “We didn’t deserve to win,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. “They outworked us, the outplayed us, they outthought us. Whatever adjective you want to use, they did it to us tonight.” Jonas Valanciunas’ buzzer-beating dunk for Toronto sent the game to overtime. He finished with 10 points. Toronto suffered its first home loss since Jan. 26 against Utah. The Raptors are an NBA-best 24-5 at home. “It’s good to have a tough loss like this,” Lowry said. “It kind of re-focuses us. We can get beat on any given night and we’ve got to come out there and play hard every night.” The Raptors trailed 110-108 with 3.3 seconds left in the fourth quarter after Middleton split a pair of free throws. Following a timeout, Toronto inbounded the ball to Valanciunas, who paused before driving for the tying dunk. Toronto scored the first five points of the extra session, but back-to-back 3-pointers by Terry and Middleton capped an 8-0 Bucks run, giving Milwaukee a 118-115 lead with 1:58 left. Bucks: Milwaukee scored 42 points in the second for its highest-scoring quarter of the season. The previous high was 39. ... The Bucks had a season-high 21 turnovers. ... Milwaukee outrebounded Toronto 51-37. Raptors: Fred VanVleet scored six points, ending a nine-game streak with at least 10. ... Toronto shot 1 for 12 from 3-point range in the fourth quarter and overtime. In overtime, Antetokounmpo dove out of bounds after a loose ball and managed to tip it to Terry, who made a pivotal 3. “That was all Jet,” Antetokounmpo said, referring to Terry by his nickname. “That was a real tough shot.” Toronto and Milwaukee also played an overtime game on Jan. 1, with DeRozan setting a team record with 52 points in the Raptors’ 131-127 win. The Bucks matched a season high with 13 3-pointers. Milwaukee started 0 for 4 from long range but finished 13 for 26, making seven straight during the second and third quarters.

Little has been written as an aide-de-camp specifically for the CEO- or individuals who wish to leave the airline- charter or fractional world that they are used to- and instead take control of their own air transportation by purchasing or leasing their own aircraft- either to completely replace their current travel arrangement- or to supplement it.

However unless you have a background in aviation you may easily become annoyed and confused by the jargon and possibly even the attitudes of some of the people that you meet. Aviation can feel extremely intimidating to an outsider. Especially if your entire aviation experience to-date has been gained as a passenger flying on the airlines. You are a half step ahead if you have a friend or family member who owns and flies their own ‘little’ aircraft- but even then- the caring and feeding of a jet- and the infrastructure necessary to support its safe and reliable operation is vastly different from the experience and knowledge gained as the owner of a small light aircraft. It is highly unlikely that your friend is properly schooled or sufficiently experienced to advise you in this endeavour. The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) states: “...The purpose of the corporate aviation department is to provide safe- efficient and convenient air transportation to assist in achieving the mission and goals of the company. The aircraft is the strategic tool used in fulfilling that role. The corporate aviation department should be viewed as an integral and strategic element of the corporate structure- regardless of the company’s primary functions. A manufacturing firm depends heavily upon its production facilities and personnel- but would not be able to function without its administration- sales- research and other essential departments. In the same manner- the aviation department provides a variety of transportation and communication functions- which- once instituted- become indispensable to the company’s operations.” A flight department can be set-up in a multitude of different structures. The simplest form is when you hire just one pilot- who in-turn orchestrates and runs everything for you- and directly reports to you. Alternatively you might elect to build your own private flight terminal- storage- fuelling and maintenance facility- staffed by an entire company of employees. The only limitations facing you as to how you decide to set it up are imagination- time and money. Regardless of how you choose to move forward with what you envision to be the ideal structure- you will need to employ an expert from within the corporate aviation industry who can guide and steer you through the jargon- and temper your reaction to what in many cases- may appear as the best way forward- but would end up being a costly- and possibly dangerous endeavour- if you elected to try and go it alone. • For the past four and a half years you have been a satisfied user of a first-class fractional ownership program. • You have grown to rely on the efficiency of business jet use- but you could use more hours than what your existing program allots to you. • The easy way forward would be to ‘Re- Up’ your existing share and possibly increase your ownership stake. Alternatively you have friends who own their own jet- and they are extremely happy with the total flexibility that their outright ownership affords them. • You have gone as far as calling some of the aircraft manufacturers that advertise in the business press. They have loaded you up with glossy brochures and a plethora of detailed reports and analysis that they believe proves that their jet is the best for you. • You have even accepted and taken an evening dinner-demonstration ride and liked it very much. But you couldn’t allow yourself to get serious about buying yet- as this part of the transaction appears that it will be fairly easy- and foolish if you have not gotten all of your other ‘ducks in a row’ before the negotiation- color- fabric and options selection commences. Let me tell you- this natural sense of caution is very wise at this early stage. Choosing the right aircraft model is a lesson in technical compromise. You may like the size and layout of one aircraft model- but after some research you discover that aircraft can’t make it out of the mountain airport in the summer- where you own a key factory. Another might be able to make the flight out- but due to performance weight loading constraints- once airborne you will not be able to make it back to your home airport without stopping for fuel. Talking aircraft performance figures might be captivating at the beginning of the process- but you will quickly tire of it when you remember that you have a business to run and the airplane business is taking up too much of your money-making time. This is the point that you should hire a business aviation consultant/adviser - perhaps a pilot- a broker- or a management company - who can then handle the analysis for you- ultimately providing you with a simple two- or three aircraft choice to make at the end of this necessary technical process. This article assumes that you hire the broker to do your dog-work for you. This is because a professional aircraft broker will be able to provide you with total anonymity to the marketplace while ensuring that you have the best market savvy person working on your case- who is aloof from the need to satisfy a specific charter market- or has a desire to push you towards an aircraft that they have always wanted to fly. With the fee agreed upon- it will be the brokers’ job to simplify your choices so you can make a balanced decision. Once the aircraft model choice has been made- the list of suitable pilot candidates is much easier to whittle down- because you can concentrate on hiring a pilot who is rated and experienced in the make and model that you have selected. Of course you might end up hiring a pilot that needs to go to school on the aircraft before he/she can fly it for you- because your hiring decision transcended the need for a specific type rating because a candidate’s personality was a bigger factor. If you do try going it solo in setting up your department- please be aware that if you place an advertisement for a pilot without someone to front the responses that the advertisement will generate- you will become buried by the sheer number of applications that you’ll receive. Yet again your broker should handle this for you- so you remain free to get on with your own business. Most successful entrepreneurs are driven by a passion to work and win. Often a 24/7 ethos develops into being the norm. Fools are rarely suffered- while any direct employee who does not mirror the bosses own ethos- will not remain in the entrepreneurs employment for long. Once you establish your own flight department- your working philosophy will most likely be tested to the point of ultimate frustration. I am not in any-way suggesting that pilots are less driven or committed to their tasks as you are - but their working environment is probably going to appear alien to you- and you will most likely feel agitated because the way that you may see it- is that you are having to pay for pilots who only work eight or ten hours a week- while the rest of the time they are off enjoying the pay-check that you increasingly grudgingly provide them with. The piloting profession is intensely regulated by both the Federal Aviation Administration (in the US) and also the Insurance Companies. Safety- knowledge- experience- ability- aptitude- physical fitness- mental acuity- eyesight- and judgement are under constant scrutiny and test. In addition to vigilantly maintaining their certification to fly- the job responsibilities of a chief pilot/director of aviation will include all of the following tasks- and possibly more: Add to this the fact that when you are away with the aircraft- especially if you use the aircraft for frequent weekend trips to various properties that you own- your employee crew are away from their families and are having to deal with the stress and friction that long or regular absences incite in their loved ones. Making your pilots come to your office everyday that they are not flying for you- might curtail the feelings of reproach that you have- but you ultimately might be maligning and unnecessarily running roughshod over people that truly don’t deserve it. If later on you find that you are unable to keep pilots on your payroll longterm- it might be time to reassess your attitude towards the working regime of your pilots. If you hire your broker and your pilot before you buy- you will be laying a strong foundation that will fast-track your fledgling flight department to immediate success- while reducing your potential headaches to none. As well as selecting the right aircraft- you will need to decide on what type of entity you will own and operate it under (liability and tax issues abound here); under what flag (registration) you will fly under; where you will house (hangar) it; who will insure it for you; and who you will allow to use it within your organization or family; who will be overseeing the flight department for you; who will communicate your desired flight schedule to the flight department; and who will be reporting back to you with flight department business. Again most- if not all of these issues can be addressed from the paid advice that your broker will provide you with. Once all of these operational positions have been filled- you will still want to keep a close eye on the balance sheet of your new flight department- using the valuable experience that you have already gained by incurring and settling the monthly costs that you have had as a fractional owner. Outright ownership of your own aircraft within your own organization should best your previous cost model from a dayto- day operating cost or per-flight-hour standpoint. Your debt service or loss of capital will obviously be much higher though. Make sure that your chosen flight department manager is fully versed and proficient in cost analysis- budgeting and reporting. The flight department manager does not have to be a certificate pilot. Many contemporary flight departments are choosing a manager who is skilled and certificated within the aviation maintenance field instead of flying. This is logical when you consider that your maintenance person will spend much of his/her time at the hangar office- and therefore is able to act as the base manager for the entire operation. Having to work on the road- in a hotel on a lap-top and with a mobile phone is considerably less efficient than being in the same office with a desk-top computer and land-line. This concept definitely provides ‘food for thought’ which is worth exploring if you plan on setting up a self-contained flight department in your own private facility. Having a manager who has successfully passed the NBAA’s Certified Aviation Manager (CAM) program is a definite advantage- as that individual has achieved a known management standard and is fully qualified to lead your department. Next month- we will consider an ‘Aircraft Owner’s Bill of Rights’ that I created for new owners that hire me to be their broker. In each case- the document should be tailored to make it fit for the owner that it is to apply to. The purpose of this sequel will seek to establish acceptable expectations for a CEO to have of his/her Flight Department staff- and also offer a checklist for Flight Department staff to brush up on their work-ethos and better position themselves for consideration for work in a new Flight Department.
...this may come as a huge surprise to many of my readers, considering I haven't posted in months. Needless to say, lots has happened since my last blog entry. But I'm positive we will have considerable time to go over all of the details. Their current giveaway, a book entitled "When Me Becomes We", will help my fiance and I with a huge hurdle: I live in an area where the weather tends to be a bit unpredictable. Tomorrow may be clammy and peaking in the 50s. You never know. Regardless, it is definitely spring time. My college campus is filled with bright eyes and colors, shorter dresses and Docker cargo shorts. The general sense of well-being is higher, because the climax of spring gives hints to the coming of summer. My peers and I wanting to track star through finals, sell the tattered couch in our apartments that we're soon to be leaving, and prepare for another summer adventure. Love is definitely in a challenging mode. People are either planning summer weddings or looking to get out of their current situations. For those of us who aren't at least engaged, being single during the heightened time of the year is promising. No one wants to be held down during the summer, right? The last thing you want is for your boyfriend to call you every night the week you are para-sailing down in the Cape with your Ladies Bible Study group. Freedom is a beautiful thing, isn't it? And for every one person that clamored near Thanksgiving to find a Winter boo to exchange hellos under mistletoe by Christmastime, two are fleeing love in the opposite direction, towards the call of summer's heat and sense of adventure. Maybe I'm paranoid. It has been my experience that I will return to routine in late August with a new betrayal to deal with. I encourage adventure. I have a deep, gut feeling that my life is destined to be an adventure. And I wouldn't dare desire to keep this kind of existence from anyone. But, I want to give a word of caution, whether you are single or taken. Be cautious of the pull of this season. Make sure that your desire for adventure doesn't lead to you hurting someone who stuck with you through hard times. If you think it is a good time for a clean break, then do this sensibly. Know yourself. Remember that people, although sometimes undependable, are not to be like seasons, because seasons are always changing. You hear a song for the first time, probably one you’re driven to listen to because it’s by your favorite artist/band. The song is amazing. It’s a great marriage of harmonious melodies, beats, and personally meaningful lyrics. For approximately 2 to 3 minutes, you’re one piece of a musical bond. You wade through the song’s second verse, bridge, and hook; automatically preparing yourself for the ending of the song. You’ve already made up your mind that you’re going to put the song on repeat to enjoy it again. And then it happens… The instruments spread their wings and soar across your heart, leaving an incredibly warm, resounding feeling behind. It’s as if they were using the song as a mere warm up. It’s like the artist has given you a gift. As if he/she trusts the song’s melody enough to turn away the steady, watchful eye of their voice and allow it to roam and reverberate. The listener undergoes a tiny bit of sadness when approaching the end of a song. 1. My heart beats for quality time. If you don't like to invest your time in me, it is the equivalent of a slap in the face. My true friends seek to spend time with me, not just tolerate having me around. 2. I get annoyed really, really easy. And even though I am working on not showing it outwardly, I will always have an inner reaction. Kind of like rolling my eyes at you in my head. 3. I'm still waiting on my BIG MOMENT. Not sure what that means yet. I really feel there is something significant that I haven't done yet. But I know its coming. 4. I enjoy being hospitable. Like, really enjoy it. It's important to me for people to enjoy being in my home; comfortable, well-fed, and entertained. I want to have a night where people lose track of time and are at my house until the wee hours of the morning. I'm scared I'm not that interesting yet, though. 6. I have quite an ear for music. I appreciate actual instruments and harmony in a song...which is why I'm so picky of what I listen to... 7. I'm tapping into my "go with the flow" mode. I'm planning on taking a lot of chances this year, and bounce back 100% times faster if they don't work out. 10. Last year, I struggled with really wanting to get married. I haven't had a single thought like that so far this year. Now, I am thrilled I'm not getting married anytime soon. Thrilled, I tell you. 12. Above all things, God has been my counselor. I've had a pretty lonely road, so I'm glad I had/have him to release my pain to. I've owned this book for about 5 hours and it has already started to change my life. It's fresh and successfully unhinged the glob of mortar that caused my writer's block. It's funny how a single song...3:34 minutes of music...can change your whole perspective of a situation. That's the beautiful thing about music: it can mold, as well as express, a mindset. Most of the time, this is a negative thing, but I like to think that music was meant to inspire. Granted, I do get in those moods where I only want to listen to Coldplay, James Blunt, and Sam Cooke. My deep melancholy is expressed in the music playlist of my choice. As it is when I'm in a romantic, praise-oriented, or thuggish mood. So, I figured I'd share my all-time favorite inspirational tracks. God knows with the cold, frigid weather we could all use a little warmth. 12. Obtained three side hustles: greeting card writer, professional blog writer, and manuscript editor 21. Had my surprised birthday plans ruined...but plan B involved spending more money at once than I ever had. Had a blast doing it. 33. Got to the 3 year mark with the bf. Many are holding their breath for the moment I get the ring..except me. :) I have been a Christian since I was a little girl. I remember sitting in church, next to my mom and older brother, and hearing the preacher talk about the love of Jesus Christ. I'd heard many stories in Sunday School and at home about Noah and the Ark, Jonah and the Whale, and Adam and Eve. I even knew about Jesus performing miracles and coming to earth as a little baby. I loved those stories. However, it was something about that preacher's words that made me feel a warm sensation in my chest. I knew that my parents loved me. I knew that my cousins and other family members loved me. But I felt that they kinda had to since we were born into the same family. It wasn't inconvenient, but it was obvious that it had to be the norm. But why did Jesus love me enough to give his life? Maybe it is simply a really good story. A metaphor for how life on earth is meant to be. Maybe Jesus is simply a nice teacher who was more of an advocate for universalism than faith in One God. Maybe he didn't resurrect on the third day and his bones are tucked away in Osama Bin Laden's hiding place.Maybe it, like all other religions, are a construction of the intricate human psyche. Or maybe Buddha is just as significant as Jesus who is equal to Muhammad. Maybe god is a figment of my broken imagination. Maybe I am god and don't know it. I don't have certainty. Philosophically, none of us can be certain of anything. But I have faith that Jesus did come to earth, as God and Man, and died for me out of love and compassion for my sins. So that I can be free in this life and the next. I have faith that that day I prayed to Jesus for the first time, he heard me and answered. At times, my faith is made tangible. Through an unseen comfort in moments where I faced sorrow, heartache, and despair alone. Certain evidences have appeared in my life that have blatantly hinted at a truth I learned as little girl: I am dating one of the most incredibly raw minds of this world. He sees his sporadic thinking as a flaw, but I believe that in moments where it acquires focus/purpose, he captivates the listener with a rare combination of wisdom, wit, and empathy. With that being said, it scares me when he feels that he cannot capture the respect/attention of other males. There is a part of his existence that has been backed into a corner, and I feel that speaking on his behalf would be overstepping my boundaries as the girlfriend. His baritone has jarred me. Left me standing at full attention and ready to join him in both task and heart. While it is thrilling to watch his manhood stand out further among lesser Johns, I'm saddened that they secretly jeer at his words. And I'm unsure of the coming-of-age process. How men accept one another and respect the thoughts of another male. What convinces a male that he can stand in a man's shoes; fulfill his role, and gain the recognition of other men? Another friend of mine is engaged. Happily engaged. And I am forced to do that "mind thing" where I remind myself that it's okay that it's not me. Because I love him, and he loves me back. I trust that he, and more importantly, God, has a great, unique, taylor-made plan just for us. I'd rather wait another 10 years, enduring a seemingly endless dating purgatory than to do things too soon. I am finished with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, and dwarfed goals. I won’t give up shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up, for the cause of Christ. Using paintings and sculpture, she explores the construction of identity in a post-colonial context, in South Africa, and also criticizes stereotypes of black women. My life is like a steady stream of chaos right now. My plate is full. Pilled to capacity with carbohydrate-rich foods, salty vegetables, and meats. Socially, I have a waiting list of people that I need to hang out with. And I'm worried about all of them. I've been in a game of phone tag with a friend for about 3 weeks and I can't seem to have the time to talk to her. I haven't called my mom in a week. I have 3 graduate classes that all have papers/projects due in the next seven days. I've cooked a real meal in my kitchen once this week. I'm juggling two part-time jobs and attend two small groups a week. I'm worried about using my boyfriend's gas allotment to get me back and forth to work; among his other problems that he's dealing with. I signed up to make two sweet potato pies for a dinner I'm attending this weekend. I'm in therapy (basically) and I need to start looking for an internship to get my supervision hours. My computer's at the shop to be fixed, and I need it to do homework. I want to go home. I want to sleep. I want to bake cookies and watch The Cosby Show. I want to snuggle underneath my boyfriend's rib and not move an inch. No matter what I do, or how hard I try, someone goes without something they need from me. I'm worried about flunking an assignment. Or being a bad friend. Or being undependable. What do you see when you look at this picture? I mean, besides the fact that this is taken from the gallery of Tyler Perry's movie adaptation of For Colored Girls.... I think of my mother being comforted by her three sisters and their mother while standing next to the grave of my brother. I think of the great bellows of laughter coming from the hair salon that I frequented as a child. I recall the knowing glances and outstretched hands that I have exchanged with another Black woman. Granted, I have the pleasure of knowing many beautiful women...across the entire palette of ethnicity. However, there is a deeper sense of unity that I feel when I, and other Black women embrace one another. Welcome one another. Encourage and affirm one another. Because we are known to bicker and be competitive. Tear down another because her hair is natural. Or relaxed. She's too skinny or flat-chested. Or too big. Lighter or Darker. Rough around the edges or materialistic. Carrying an infant or a Gucci bag in her arms. It's nice to have kindred arms, though we are only connected through shade, hold you up. And it may not be done intentionally, but it always feels familiar. Sometimes, I have to double-take, because I could swear that the arms of my "sistah" feels like the arms of a "sister". I believe that the political arena was created by people to help people. And there are moments in our history where it has served that purpose. The first settlers came to this land because they didn't want to be told how or who to worship. Some say that America was founded on Biblical principles. It's no matter to me, personally, because you can hold a Bible in one hand, and still grip a whip in the other hand. You can shake the hand of a red-skinned man in a gesture of brotherhood, while concealing a rifle behind your back. The same battle for freedom that the first Europeans sought from a harsh theocracy is being reflected in the subtle war of religious variety in America today. If you wish to build a land that is free from an established religion, then it must be just that. The tide will be determined, not by the power of the Christians, but by the heart/courage of the Christians. God decided to bring the Savior to earth during a time where one of the most feared rulers reigned. Why do believers feel that we are entitled to theocratic submission in a democracy? Go vote, yes. Shine your light, definitely. But don't think it strange when there are Muslims, Buddhists, and Atheists who are openly adamant in their faith. The existence of other faiths should not threaten yours. I believe in a God who is real, whether or not I believe in Him or worship Him. He will Be when America is long gone. He was here before its first Natives stepped on to its soil. We need God back in our land, yes. But not necessarily back in the White House (assuming it ever was), or in the Pentagon. But in the people. The desperate, lost ones that walk the streets. The hurting and afraid that aren't even old enough to vote yet. We argue and bicker on the internet, in coffee shops, and in dorm rooms over policy but will go no further. Our politics, though they can carry the weight of great moral conviction, has been reduced to propaganda. The same type that rallied naive Germans into slaughtering millions of Jews. Because it distracts and it prevents us from seeing what happens around us every day. Today, everyone's focus (and a pointed, accusatory finger) is aimed at Washington. I've seen with my young eyes, that it produces strife among friends. Disharmony among brothers. And contempt among citizens. I, for one, am sick of being handled by the machine. Sure, that's pretty pessimistic/paranoid, but it only takes losing someone once without warning to get you thinking about the moments you're allowed to have with those you love. There are times where I wish he'd come back for one more hug. One last look into my eyes to subliminally tell him that I thank God for him. I'm not sure how it became the norm, but every time he drops me off at my house, he will wait until I get my key into the door, for it to open, and for me to turn to look at him sitting in his car...before he waves at me. And I'll wave back. And that wave isn't frantic like a "goodbye" (you know, how you see at the end of movies...), but it's a subtle, unconscious "see you later". Which is why that first hug/touch/smile is so electric to me. It's like God gave us a gift in the form of a fulfilled "see you later". I performed at George Mason University. Shared the stage with people who hated Christians and thinks the Bible is a joke. Left with their respect and understanding of our differing views. Had a blast. Spent a whole day in DC, where I ate an out-of-this-world lunch at my favorite spot (Busboy's and Poets) and went to the Holocaust Museum. I've never had my heart broken over my own humanity so many times over the course of 2 hours before. Heard dope new music...including an unnamed college jazz group who had voices that left me breathless. Ate my first Five Guys burger. Soooo good, but will be going to the gym frequently for the next few weeks. Taken before going into the Holocaust Museum...the Department of Agriculture reflecting off of the window... My current, constant mood is peaceful. I've never stressed LESS before in my whole life. Yes, I was a fearful, worrisome child. But I'm starting to snuggle up next to my own psyche and finding contentment with who I am...even though I'm still in the process of painting that picture. The brush isn't in my hands anyway, so I might as well have some sense of joy. Love is the most beautiful gift that God affords humanity this side of heaven. It can be tangibly seen, touched, and affect every area of your life…many times without your permission. Rarely, you will have the object of your affection in front of you, and you’re afforded the great privilege of expressing exactly what’s on your heart to them. You are mentally, emotionally, and spiritually in sync with another human being and are immediately (if only momentarily) able to understand why God surrounds you with people so unlike but identical to yourself. To be one of two hearts in a consistent exchange of positive regard and unconditional care. And it is beautiful because it feels right and familiar somehow… But what of those moments where things have gotten so out of control that we look around and wonder how Love became a catalyst for such unrest and pain? What is the answer when men overstep their commitment barriers or when a woman abuses her lover’s trust? What of the victims of gossip, manipulation, and one-sided friendships? The heart that always gives but never receives anything in return…where can love be naturally applied? I am a living, breathing testimony that Jesus is the source for all healing when you’ve suffered heartache at the hands of those you love. He is truly all you need. However, what are we commanded to do with the deep, God-given, inner desire for camaraderie and acceptance? Are we to generalize our dependence on the Father by disconnecting with each other? Or is it that a part of our communion with the Father is directly connected to our bond with each other? Even before the Fall, God declared that it’s “incomplete” that man is alone. Adam had God all to himself…and even still he was incomplete. Not quite finished. Loved and the most precious part of His creation, but still lacking an important element: a companion. Someone like him, but unique enough to exist as a separate person. Why did God take out a part of an incomplete man (his rib) to make him complete? I feel that He wants us to remember that we weren’t always separated. I’m thinking that forgiveness and trust is not only for the wounded heart, nor for the transgressor, but for the bond broken. For the good of us all, and not just individuals. The moment I become especially distant from the hearts that divinely pump life around me, the more the voice of my own self-interest drowns out the gentle whisper of our Lord. Love can be horrible. Confusing. And the ultimate test of our lives designed to connect us deeper and stronger to each other, and ultimately, to God the Father. I am not proposing that walking away should never be an option, but we should never forget that we are human beings. And we need each other. There is a significance that hides within the order of the seasons. Fall was not meant to preceed Spring, nor was Winter supposed to come before Summer. Each transition from one season to the next has scientific and inherent meaning. The comfort and replenishment of Spring is not meant to last forever, lest the plants be overgrown or the earth be drowned by rain. Likewise, Winter is the necessary length to cease all things, even to the point of death. However, there is the moment when the first budding plant breaks through the melting snow...which is a sign that change is approaching. The seasons are regulated without the influence of man; showing the imminence of our God, who knows and controls all things. Just as we adjust our clothing according to season, we must also submit our lives to the seasons the Lord takes us through. In times of flourishing and in times of famine. God never promised a continuous summer, but he asks us to stand on His loyalty and long-suffering. Rest your heart with the Sustainer of the Season and not the seasons themselves. Whether you are blinded by the glorious cloudless sky or beaten down by the tumultuous rain, peer beyond and see the Father...who remains Unmoved. Percussionist Ian Antonio’s breadth of experience - concertizing across four continents with a wide variety of chamber ensembles, orchestras, experimental rock bands, avant-garde theatre companies, and as a soloist, conductor, and educator - has led him to develop a unique sound and approach to both performing and teaching. Ian is a founding member of the piano percussion quartet Yarn/Wire. Hailed as "mesmerizing and dynamic” by the New York Times, the ensemble is known for the energy and precision it brings to performances of today’s most adventurous music. Yarn/Wire has appeared at prestigious venues across the globe, including Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Library of Congress, Edinburgh International Festival, Barbican Centre, and Shanghai Symphony Hall. The ensemble has held residencies at institutions such as Columbia University, Harvard University, Stanford University, and ISSUE Project Room, among many others. In 2016, Yarn/Wire won 1st Prize / Open at the University of Michigan’s inaugural M-Prize, the largest chamber music competition in the world. The ensemble has premiered over one hundred new works, released nine albums, and continually advocates for this exciting emerging repertoire. Ian is a core member of the Wet Ink Ensemble, a collective of composers and performers. Formerly the Ensemble-in-Residence at Duke University, Wet Ink most commonly performs as a septet comprised of a core group of composer-performers that collaborate in a band-like fashion, writing, improvising, preparing, and touring pieces together over long stretches of time. This approach, honed over 20 years, has led to an incomparable body of work marked by a keenly developed performance practice, played in concert with ferocity, commitment, and expressivity. In demand at both domestic and international venues, Wet Ink’s performances “combine striking stylistic and aesthetic assurance with technical perfection." (Dissonanz Switzerland) Ian is also a member of the percussion ensemble Talujon. The group's sextet configuration allows Talujon to produce large-scale and oft-neglected percussive masterworks as well as new pieces written for the ensemble. Described by the New York Times as possessing an "edgy, unflagging energy”, the ensemble has been championing percussive music for well over two decades. Since joining the group in 2011, Ian has performed with Talujon at the Metropolitation Museum of Art, Bang on a Can Marathon, BAM Next Wave Festival, and elsewhere across the country. From 2003-2012 Ian was a member of the difficult-to-categorize trio Zs. With Zs, Ian toured both domestically and abroad, recorded extensively, and made composed / improvised "conceptual art objects that set form and content against each other — like, say, a perfect birthday cake made out of sawdust, or a perfect hammer made out of bird feathers." (New York Times) Equally at home in lofts, basements, galleries, and festivals, Ian performed with Zs at many prominent jazz festivals including the Germany’s Moers Festival, Switzerland’s Jazz Festival Willislau, and Tokyo’s Club Unit. The band’s 2010 album, New Slaves, was named Album of the Year by Tiny Mix Tapes and appeared on numerous best-of lists. Ian is currently a member of the faculty at Purchase College where he teaches private lessons, rep class, and a hand drumming workshop, among other duties. He also leads percussion activities for the Norwalk Youth Symphony program.

CM: Yannis Gaïtis' Centrifugal Profile of 1975 is reminiscent of Renato Giuseppe Bertelli's Profilo Continuo di Mussolini of 1933, insofar as they are both glazed terracottas and represent the distinctive profile of a head rotated 360 degrees. However, where Berteli made a dynamic interpretation of the Italian dictator in polished Fascist black, Gaïtis fashioned an ultra-modern profile of his stock head in a two-color scheme glaze Gaïtis modeled on the potter's wheel a tripartite spun version of his stock head, a male profile split at the lips and wearing a bowler hat atop. For this portrait, Gaïtis followed his contemporary precepts about overpopulation and the loss of identity, employing the avant-garde concepts of Futurism to render a profile, usually a two-dimensional image, in three dimensions. CM: Etymologically, 'ephebe' in ancient Greek is a youth at the bloom of his/her lifespan - between 18 and 20 years of age. This work is one of a long series of what Costas Klouvatos calls 'chromo-shedia' (color-drawings). The centre of the drawing is occupied by an abstracted figure, which is clearly female. Beyond the figure are more lines that suggest folds of drapery surrounding the figure. These features are - according to Klouvatos - 'Sybantikes Grammes' (universal lines), suggestive of the powers and forces in nature that are otherwise invisible to the physical eye, but are perceptible in metaphysical terms. Interestingly it is the washes of color that contain the lines rather than the lines defining areas of color.
The open Beta for Destiny starts... now. You're probably reading this on your fancy second-screen device, while you wait for the game itself to finish downloading on PS4. I was lucky enough to play the Beta for five hours yesterday, and what strikes me most about Destiny is how much like Halo it feels. That's not to say it lacks merit as an original game, or that the Halo-feel is a detriment, but that Destiny feels comfortingly familiar while exposing players to some wonderfully ambitious ideas that Bungie has clearly been brewing for some years. After all: why should Bungie simply throw away all the lessons it learned while making a series that not only became the flagship title for Xbox, but also defined an entire generation of shooters? Its like saying: “Hey, Polyphony--good work with the Gran Turismo series, but now we'd like you to make a strategy game about pixies and warlocks”. Madness. I imagine many will beat Destiny with the metaphorical stick for 'being too much like Halo', but for me that's no bad thing. The tutorial itself is a cheeky nod from the developers, as you're greeted right at the start by Ghost--a floating robot that would win first-prize in a Guilty Spark Look-a-Like competition. Voiced by Peter 'Tyrion Lannister' Dinklage, Ghost takes you through the basics like running in a straight line, and shooting bad-guys. Although Destiny features a more traditional Left Trigger = ironsights style of shooting, weapon feel and feedback is very, very Halo. There's a pleasingly relentless pace to each combat scenario, and enemies have those trademark Bungie smarts, where they'll dodge behind cover and coordinate attacks organically. And yes, getting in close for a melee attack is just as satisfying as a Mk2 Pistol to the face. If I was being pedantic (and I totally am), I'd even say certain enemy types and vehicles are ripped straight out of Combat Evolved. The Stealth Vandals, for example, are semi-cloaked enemies with swords attached to their arms; hugely similar to Halo's Elites. The Sparrow hover bike, which you can spawn at any time, is essentially a posh version of the Ghost. However, while handling is similar the Sparrow feels lighter, nippier, and less clumsy to rotate. There were several beautiful moments during my play time when my whole fireteam forgot about the mission objective, and simply spawned Sparrows to race around the playing area for larks. It's the playing areas and non-combat hubs where Destiny feels more like an evolution of Halo, rather than a direct relation. While combat maps are still wide-open spaces, there's much more to see and do in Destiny; a greater sense of conflict. Although I didn't see it myself, there are public areas in each map where fireteams (usually three players in a party) will meet each other and attempt to tackle massive, or swarms of, enemies. There's always something to randomly murder but, if you want to just crack on with the mission, that's easy enough to do. Halo feels very directed, very linear. Destiny is a true open-world multiplayer game that simply uses Bungie's broad sci-fi environments to give players more freedom. Plus, it's massive in a way that Halo only manages via clever art direction and visual smoke and mirrors. And then there's customisation. While Halo pioneered multiplayer customisation, Destiny really takes things to a new level. Before you even start, you're greeted with a wealth of character creation tools. I choose to play as an Exo, Hunter Class, with robotic spiked-hair and a striking, green face-mask, although there are three species and a huge variety of cosmetic-choices to wade through. Thankfully, you don't need to spend hours fiddling with your character's face to prevent them looking like they've gone seven rounds with Mike Tyson. Although the action in Destiny takes place in first-person, there are third-person areas and options. If--like me--you choose to break into a funky dance half-way through an intense fire-fight, much to the annoyance of your team mates, the camera switches to third-person. You can then view your custom character strutting his/her stuff while your buddies die. There are four 'emotes' mapped to the d-pad, and when you're in the hub area prepping for missions and chatting to other players, it can often feel like a ComicCon version of PlayStation Home, as players wave, dance, and flock around female avatars just in case they're real women. Which they rarely are. Sorry. The main hub city itself is classic MMO territory, so nothing like any existing Halo games. Fair enough. It's actually one of the more underwhelming aspects of the Beta, as there isn't a whole lot to do beyond socialising and buying gear, but it may become more of a bustling metropolis in the final game. What I do like is the way it lets you 'decode' weapons that you pick up during combat missions. Enemies will sometimes drop glowing orbs that represent firearms, but until you bring them back to the city and have them decoded, you don't know what stats and effects they'll have. Weapons are varied, but Bungie seems to have kept them well-balanced too. We're not talking Borderlands-levels of guns here, but a decent mixture that allows you (and your team) to adapt according to every scenario. My favourite weapon, so far, is a short-range rifle that charges like a Spartan Laser before unleashing a shot that burns enemies to cinders. While many of the things in this Beta are brilliant fun, there are problems. Some of the environments will start to feel very samey when you've done the 10th mission in the same part of the world, and boss fights are... inconsistent. While the 'over-powered regular enemy' versions are a great challenge, the 'massive hulking' bosses (like one Fallen Walker I encounter) are pure grind. It takes my fireteam 20 minutes to kill the Fallen Walker, despite the fact that it never really threatens to kill us outright. It's just a matter of finding ammo, and peppering the hulking menace until its health-bar is depleted. If a team mate goes down, revives are quick, and you respawn after 30 seconds anyway. These boss fights have none of the smart pacing or spectacle of the Scarab fights in Halo 2 and 3. Shame, because other foes level naturally, creating a very balanced difficulty to the whole game. Again, though, there's time to fix problems ahead of September's release. And isn't balancing exactly what Betas are for? The secret to staying successful in games isn't through constant reinvention, it's through learning from your past, and being ambitious with your future. That's exactly what Bungie is doing with Destiny. The Chief may have moved house, but this is still the home of aspiring sci-fi gaming. Don't believe me? Surely the Beta has downloaded on your console by now... better start playing. The first official images from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 have emerged online, giving us our first look at Julianne Moore's character. Moore will be playing Alma Coin, the President of District 13, who will ally herself with Katniss after rescuing her from the 75th Hunger Games. She looks fairly steely-eyed here, which is just as well, since President Snow and the rest of the establishment are likely to be less than pleased with the way the events of the last film played out. The new images are taken from the film's brand new website , which also includes a sprinkling of behind-the-scenes material on the making of the production. Directed by the returning Francis Lawrence and co-starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 will open in the UK on 21 November 2014. We're mere weeks into the latest season of Fortnite, but what better time to start thinking about Fortnite season 7. Yes, really. That might sound utterly mad, but the way Epic Games seeds clues throughout the previous season as to the setting, themes and motifs of the next means that it's basically never to early to start theorising. Every season in Fortnite runs for 10 weeks, and with Fortnite season 6 starting on September 7, you should expect to see Fortnite season 7 starting around December 7. That's exactly 10 weeks after the start of season 6, and that currently seems to be the trend for season start dates. The Fortnite Season 7 battle pass is probably set to cost the same as it has done the past few seasons, which is 950 V-Bucks. In order to get that, you'll have to spend some real-world money on the smallest V-Bucks bundle, which costs $9.99 / £7.99. Interestingly, ever since the launch of season 5, Epic has changed the way it does the Fortnite Battle Pass Challenges, which makes not buying a battle pass a slightly more attractive proposition (although of course we're all going to get one, right?). Weekly challenges are split into two sections, free and Battle Pass. The first three challenges of each week are going to be free, but the other four will only be available if you own the Battle Pass. However, the weekly challenge reward is still locked at four, so you'll have to buy the Fortnite battle pass if you want that sweet reward. Because of the December start date for Fortnite season 7, and the season then running all the way until February, the rumours are that it will have a winter theme. A bit like the spooky, Halloween-esque feel for the current season 6, we should expect to see our Fortnite characters dressed head to toe in winter garb. Interestingly, Epic Games has recently partnered with Warner Bros to launch a retail version of Fortnite, called the Fortnite Deep Freeze Bundle, which might just be a little glimpse into our wintery Fortnite future. There's also the fact that there was a holiday event in Fortnite Save the World last year, to add fuel to this particular... err... fire. It was called Survive the Holidays, and also featured glorious winter wear, which could easily translate to new skins for Fortnite Battle Royale. As of yet there haven't been any hints as to what will happen in Fortnite season 7 through the game itself. We're only a few weeks in though, and we're still seeing the events of season 6 wrap up, so prepare yourself for hints and teases in the coming weeks. Check out our guide if you're looking to solve the loading screens for the Fortnite Hunting Party challenges each week. It's been a while since we've run a story based on those online retailers jumping the gun and revealing an as yet unannounced title, so here goes nothing. Amazon's US website is listing Gears of War 2 for a November 15, 2008 release on Xbox 360. Microsoft and Epic haven't officially announced a sequel but even the man in the corner shop knows it's coming. The fact that Amazon has listed the date as Nov 15 means that someone there knows a bit about videogames, as the original launched around the same time in 2006 depending on where you live. Two years for a sequel is plenty of time these days. We're actually going to raise our expectations because of this and not expect more of the same. Epic will have had plenty of time to plan accordingly. Fingers crossed Microsoft and/or Epic announces Gears 2 soon. A decade and a half on from his last completed feature, Bruce Robinson is to make an overdue return to the director's chair with Hunter S Thompson adap The Rum Diary. Try as he might, though, he'll never top his seminal 1987 debut, a semi-autobiographical romp through his booze-fuelled youth that needs no excuse to be seen again and again. Will Richard E Grant ever get a better role than bitter thespian Withnail? Has anyone devised a more iconic comic notion than the Camberwell Carrot? Has any screenplay combined so many quotable lines with such tear-jerking pathos or blatant homophobia? Watch this digital re-release and thank the lords above the recently mooted stage version with Jude Law as Withnail was nothing more than an opportunistic producer's pipe dream. Push the limits of reality as Johnny Test in this physics-bending Nintendo DS game based on the hit Cartoon Network show. When Johnny meddles with one of his genius twin sisters' out-of-this-world science experiments, he plunges the town of Porkbelly into chaos. Now Johnny and his loyal pooch Dukey must break all the rules in order to save his friends in this action-packed platformer adventure!
