The “Gran Sport” Xida uses the longer XL shock and is a single variant with no customizable options, 550/350 rates only. When used with a longer main spring and near zero rate tender spring, we are able omit the expensive dual spring system and torrington bearings and still retain sufficient droop travel and deliver market leading dual-purpose ride quality and handling. The Xida GS comes fully assembled and ready to bolt in, or you can ommit our assembly and delete the NB mounts. You will need to supply your own NB shock mounts.
With the near OEM length of the Xida GS, the available ride height range is roughly 5.25” to 6.5” pinch weld. From moderatly lowered, up to just below OEM height. We recommend the sweet spot around 5.75" pinch weld. At these taller ride heights, the Xida GS will provide the best ride quality with stock sway bars but still have excellent roll control. Yes this seems odd but the suspension geometry changes significantly by running above 5.5" pinch weld, much greater inherent roll stiffness. Try it first before spending money on aftermarket sway bars.
Xida GS are just the ticket for maximum multipurpose value, with great day-to-day ride quality and more practical ride heights. You still get great backroad handling and enough springrate for good performance during occasional track or autocross use. Save some expense by leaving off all the motorsports grade options of the normal Xida Race or Xida XL system but can still add them later if you go for a more competition focused setup.
Fully assembled with new Supermiata NB style top mounts.

Arsenal leapfrogged Manchester City to reclaim the Premier League top spot once again following a 2-1 win over Aston Villa, but it wasn’t a straightforward three points over Paul Lambert’s battling side at Villa Park.
Two goals in two first-half minutes looked to have sealed the win for the Gunners but the home side refused to yield, and while Christian Benteke pulled one back after the break they just couldn’t muster that equaliser.
Arsene Wenger’s men started well but Villa’s back-four, lead by the towering Ron Vlaar, stood firm despite decent early chances for returning striker Olivier Giroud.
The game was halted with 15 minutes on the clock when Aston Villa defender Nathan Baker was treated and eventually stretchered off the pitch after taking Serge Gnabry’s fierce drive to the temple.
Reports during the game confirmed it was no more than a mild concussion, and while Lambert was forced to shuffle his side’s formation following the introduction of Leandro Bacuna, Villa maintained their composure until a freak two-minute spell that saw Arsenal open up a two-goal lead.
All of Villa’s hard work was undone shortly before half-time, with Jack Wilshere breaking the deadlock in the 34th minute and Giroud doubling their lead moments later with a neat finish.
The Frenchman, who was declared fit for the game after a period on the sidelines due to injury and illness, showed impeccable touch to receive Wilshere’s lofted pass and stroked the ball calmly past Brad Guzan to leave the home side deflated.
But Villa rallied and started the better after the break, with Gabby Agbonlahor and Bacuna lively in their forward surges, and Gunners stopper Wojciech Szczesny had to be alert to deny the young Dutchman’s edge-of-the-box drive.
There were signs of a growing recklessness from Wenger’s side as passes began to stray and concentration seemed to wonder, and Villa were close to taking full advantage in an exciting climax.
Villa striker Benteke made the most of the visitors’ hesitance in the box when his diving header found the back of the net on 75 minutes, the big Belgian turning in Matthew Lowton’s cross unmarked to end his 12-game goal drought.
The game was as open as it gets in the final 15 minutes as the Villans’ goal seemed to startle the Gunners, with Ashley Westwood thumping a shot straight at Szczesny after a neat move from the home midfield.
Benteke was the focus of Villa’s attempted comeback in the final moments, the 23-year-old coming close on several occasions, most notably a rising header which he nodded wide from eight yards.
But it was a classic case of ‘too little, too late’ as Lambert’s plucky side failed to net that all-important equaliser.
Arsenal move one point clear of Man City at the top flight summit with the win, and while Villa remain in 11th, they are only five points away from the bottom three.

We believe in coaching to strengths. The most successful executives find ways to maximize the use of their strengths and compensate for their “development areas” (i.e. weaknesses). Coaching is the best way to create a plan for personal development and take action. Coaching works. Our systematic approach to Executive Coaching is gleaned from years of practical experience and ongoing study and research in the areas of executive development, human behavior, and professional coaching. We have found that there are few substitutes for actual hands-on, meaningful business experience when it comes to assisting our clients in their personal development and solving business challenges.
Research has shown that the most powerful, effective and lasting form of personal development for senior executives comes from a confidential, one-on-one process. The individual has the opportunity to carefully and openly examine his or her leadership skills and create specific and highly tailored actions steps to accomplish development and career goals and business objectives. With the most senior executives, even very small changes can have dramatic effects on the organization. Unfortunately, these are often the hardest changes to make.
Our methodology is organized in three stages: Awareness, Planning, and Action.
Awareness: Awareness is perhaps the most critical step in the process of personal development. In this stage, we would collect data as needed through dialogue with the client, assessment instruments (as needed), some written document reviews (e.g. performance appraisals), and several personal interviews of colleagues, employees, and other management (“Interview 360°“). A variety of sources is important in order to obtain an honest and complete picture of the individual’s unique strengths and challenges.
We would then compile our findings into an individual feedback report for the executive. The most important outcome from this stage is the individual’s personal acceptance and ownership of the development opportunities evidenced by the feedback, and commitment to invest in the time and effort required for change.
Planning: We then move from acceptance to the detail planning for change. We help the executive create a personal development plan to guide and prioritize his or her efforts. We also strongly recommend a debriefing and planning session with their direct supervisor, for which we coach the executive. In general, the best development plans incorporate 70% on-the-job activities, 10% individual study, and 20% formal training and coaching.
The vast majority of senior executives do more things right than wrong. They are already highly successful. At this level, however, even some relatively obscure or seemingly small issues can have an exaggerated and potentially adverse impact on their organizations. And these issues are usually the most difficult to change.
In order to get the detailed feedback that is needed for these clients, we conduct a series of one-on-one interviews with other senior executives, colleagues, and their employees… the Interview 360°. A confidential written report is provided to the client as part of the initial feedback session.

Re: 85-90 Firebird black bumper pads ?
You can find some as new old stock. The name is bumper insert.
Hawks may have them if you call them.
Or have them media blasted and painted.
If at all possible remove them when painting car so no over spray gets on them.
Thank you. If anyone has a mint passenger front and rear inserts im a buyer.
I've seen them changed out with different things (florescent light fixture plastic, custom fiberglass replacements) I've collected the front two for my car as NOS over the years... I still would like to find the back two as NOS. Hopefully someone will start reproducing these sooner or later.

“This is a game changer. It’s historical in nature,� said Grayson Brulte, who heads driverless car consulting firm Brulte & Co.
Only “a few hundred customers� will have access to the app and participate in the early stages, according to Waymo, which is an arm of Google parent Alphabet Inc. Although the cars will drive themselves, a Waymo engineer will sit behind the wheel in case anything goes wrong. Waymo did not say when the cars will start arriving without a human minder or when the program will be expanded.
Waymo’s cars, Chrysler Pacifica minivans bristling with autonomous driving technology, are available in several eastern and southeastern Phoenix suburbs, including Chandler, Tempe, Mesa and Gilbert. The fares are similar to those charged by Uber and Lyft.

We may all agree that touch-typing is critical in modern careers, even those taking people far outside an office or lab or shop or store. We have the TuxTyping program on our Linux desktop computers. Working on their own, students then report lessons taken and typing speed to teacher Lou Ellen Kay.
Handwriting in cursive is essential to taking legible notes quickly, for classes here, for classes in students’ next schools, and in almost any career. Students learn the modern cursive (D’Nealian) from extensive writing on worksheets that teacher Lou Ellen Kay monitors.
Scheduling for these two subjects is informal – students who have unassigned periods in the week take these classes in those periods. Students who have no breaks, such as some middle-schoolers, work on these after class or else have learned them in prior years.

This week at my favorite Indie bookstore, This House of Books, we had a very special guest! Julie Sola, author and illustrator of RUN FAST, MILO! and Possum Dreams, was in town to sign books. She also gave a fantastic demonstration on print making.
Both of her books were illustrated with hand-pulled linoleum cuts that were carved and printed by hand at Hatch Show Print in Nashville, Tennessee, on a 1968 Vandercook proofing press.
I have never hand-printed anything before, so this demonstration was absolutely fascinating to me!
Here I am, giving it a try! I am using a spoon on the back of my print, making sure all the ink gets spread onto the paper evenly. I was surprised at how little ink I needed to make such a bold print!
Thanks so much, Julie Sola, for sharing your art and teaching us a fun new skill!

When you put so much of yourself into a project like this–four years of planning, ten months of construction, and now three weeks being open–there is inevitably a level of anxiety that comes from anticipating the overall reception we will get. You really want to connect with everyone, to create a beer for everyone, something they will like, to create a space that people enjoy, but realistically that is not possible. You can’t satisfy everyone, though we will continue to try.
For example, there is method to our beer selection, but it will take some time to cover all the taste profiles we may encounter.
Another area we are working to improve in order to satisfy all of our new customers is our patio area. We put in the barrels, lights and picnic tables to establish a simple outdoor seating area. Our building front faces east, so it is ideal for that purpose with the sun setting behind our building, providing natural shade. People have really enjoyed it, and the weather has been exceptionally cooperative too. We also bought a corn-hole game, and at customer requests are building a super-sized Jenga set. We are putting in our sound system too, which includes outdoor speakers. We are also waiting on the glass for our custom-made overhead door that will finally connect our indoor tasting area with the outdoor patio.
I have to offer congratulations to Brent on our first gallery showing. Final Friday–a concept that Brent was instrumental in bringing to life in the early 90’s when he owned Evo Art Gallery–was a great success. We enjoyed seeing people walk the floor of our gallery, stopping at various works, discussing composition and emotions with their friends. Aero Plains Brewing is committed to being more than a place to hang paintings. We want to be benefactors of artists in Wichita. We have some great ideas on how we can do that, and we’ll let you in on that soon.
Thanks to everyone who has been in to taste our beer and enjoy our space. We value your time and attention, and we value your comments and suggestions. In addition to the customer support we’ve received, I want to extend a warm thanks to our neighbors, particularly All-Things-Barbecue, Bicycle X-Change, and Picasso’s Pizza. All-Things-Barbecue and Bicycle X-Change allow you to use their parking spaces, and Picasso’s Pizza sent over free pizzas for our “grand” opening two Saturday’s ago when we couldn’t line up any food trucks. Spectrum Records, Delano Barbecue, The Monarch, and La Gallette have also been super supportive. It’s great to be part of such a cool community.
The next step is to expand our reach across more of the Wichita community by releasing our beers through House of Schwan to bars, liquor stores, and restaurants. Bingo’s IPA and Dove Runner Red Wheat will be available on-tap to select bars and restaurants mid November. We are installing out bottling line 1 Nov, and should have six-packs of Bingo and Dove Runner in liquor stores the second or third week of December. Ask for Aero Plains Beer at your favorite bar/restaurant/liquor store.
All and all, these last three weeks have been amazing. I hope the rest of the year yields the same level of success. The truth is that all the paintings on the wall, the cool furniture, the patio, the size of the space means nothing if the beer isn’t good. We will strive to maintain the highest quality beer–exploring traditional and more experimental recipes–and we hope you continue to join us on this journey.

LONDON - Prince Charles led the annual ceremony to honor Britain’s war dead on Sunday, laying a wreath on behalf of 91-year-old Queen Elizabeth to mark Remembrance Sunday as she watched the service from a balcony.
Breaking with her usual custom of placing the wreath at the Cenotaph on Whitehall in central London, the queen asked her eldest son to take on the role, in part because of the demands of the ceremony for someone in their 90s.
A two-minute silence was held at 1100 GMT and wreaths were laid at the foot of Britain’s main war memorial by senior royals and political leaders, including Prime Minister Theresa May and the leader of the main opposition Labor Party, Jeremy Corbyn.
The queen and her 96-year-old husband, Prince Philip, watched from the balcony of the nearby Foreign Office.
Royal historian Hugo Vickers said the queen had slightly stumbled during last year’s service.
“One of the most important things with the queen as she gets older is not to put her in any situation where she might be uncomfortable or things might be difficult,” he told Reuters.
But he rejected the notion that it symbolized something more significant, saying it was “another step that we realize that we have an aging monarch, and it’s very important that we should not put too much pressure on her.
The head of state has been gradually reducing her workload and younger royals, including the 68-year-old Charles, have been taking up some of her duties.
Philip retired from public life in August but was keen to attend the annual ceremony, which commemorates the fallen of two World Wars and later conflicts.
The queen has missed the wreath-laying ceremony only six times in her 65-year reign.
On four of those occasions she was on foreign visits: to Ghana in 1961, Brazil in 1968, Kenya in 1983 and South Africa in 1999.
She also missed the ceremonies in 1959 and 1963, before the births of her two youngest children, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.

Fresno County sheriff's deputies found the victims already at Community Regional Medical Center early Saturday morning.
FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The Fresno County Sheriff's Office is still searching for one or multiple suspects.
Two of those young men are expected to survive but one is in critical condition and suffering from life-threatening injuries.
A shooting on Highway 41 left sheriff's deputies with three crime scenes to investigate.
It happened right before midnight Friday on Highway 41 near American Avenue. Deputies say three young men in their late teens to early twenties were on the highway after leaving a party in Riverdale when another car pulled up alongside them and began firing-all three of those young men were shot.
Lt. Mark Padilla said, "We don't know if words must have been exchanged and that's where our three victims were shot at."
After they were hit by the gunfire deputies say they were able to continue driving to get themselves to Community Regional Medical Center.
Along the way, one victim either got out or fell out of the car at Divisadero and U Street. The two other victims got themselves to the hospital where their parked truck marked with blood was surrounded by law enforcement outside of CRMC.
"We had the crime scene out at American and Highway 41, we had where the one subject was dropped off at Divisadero and U Street and then Community Regional Medical Center out other two victims," Lt. Padilla said.
The sheriff's office says they do not believe this shooting is associated with the random shootings in Fresno County because after interviewing two of the victims, they have reason to believe both parties may have known each other.
Lt. Padilla said, "We do not believe it's related to our random shooter on the west side at this point those shootings have occurred in a different area and a different time of day we do not believe this is related to that at all."
So far the sheriff's office doesn't know how many suspects are involved or a good description of them or the car they were driving.
If anyone saw anything related to this incident they are asked to call the sheriff's office.

Just too busy to blog about it! Training has been hit and miss with my old back injury resurfacing, but I’ll come out on top.
Things felt a bit rough after acupuncture yesterday. Hopefully it’s all good tomorrow when things start getting heavier.
Getting the groove down for this katana. Board bench is feeling great too so my strength is up for sure.
Full gear starting to feel better now. I want to open at 375 so it was important to feel it.
Kept everything pretty light today, heavy weekend ahead.
Quick and dirty early workout for me. Decided to hit a bit of a rep out for my last set since I had to run. It sucked.
Squats went well tonight, things are feeling a bit better.
Decided to do conv stance box squats today for a change. They felt good, I might sub these in Monday until cw.
Started my peak block today.
Finally think I’m getting the groove of this katana. I will have a couple more benches in it before CW to hopefully feel more confident with an opener weight.
I’ve begun my training cycle for CWs in December, back into the equipment for the next year+ to try my hardest to get qualified for the World Games in 2017. First up will be CWs then Nationals about 8 weeks later, quick turn around but it’ll be good.

Sometimes faith falters in the face of improbability.
I find while I’m praying that a voice in my head suggests I aim at targets that are more realistic, pray for things which are ‘easier’ for God to answer.
And yet, God keeps on calling me in the direction of flying pigs(!) – of impossible prayers that can only be answered by miracles. Drawing me to hope for things that are beyond reasonable hope; to believe in the things I think I’ve heard God whisper; to expect that God will bring those things into presence of his kingdom so that they have no choice but to confirm to his will.
The key here of course is that Abraham had heard what God had promised and believed it. This isn’t a random, wobbly faith in something I want, it’s a faith based on the solid rock of what God has said.
But we have the revealed word of God, written down, full of promises true for every follower of Jesus, right now and forever; He is faithful, we are never abandoned, he will build his church, he is not willing that any be lost, he is our Provider, our Hope, our Saviour, our Strength.
And we also have the now-word of God as whispered to us by the Holy Spirit in a hundred different ways. God’s promises – Faith-bombs ready to be released into our hearts.
And in the face of the unshakeable granite of God’s word; simple, obvious reality (a ninety-year-old womb) starts to look a little less solid.
We have our hands full of promises that we can choose to stand on in faith, some of them that we’ve held onto for years, some which we might have left lying around for a long time and are just now picking up again. Sometimes circumstances make those promises painful to look at, but perhaps it’s time to take them and like Abraham be strengthened in faith, give glory to God and be persuaded that God has the power (and the will) to do what he has promised.
So bring out your flying pigs today, dust them off and remind yourself and remind God of those things he said he would do. Cry out to him about the things he has said, and stand on the rock of his word.
May we see God do what seems impossible.
Any day now the almond buds will burst out on the trees in my city. Thousands of white flowers dusted in pink will dance in the breeze heralding the end of the cold damp winter and the beginning of spring.
None of them will look quite like this though, and I wonder what the leaders of the tribes of Israel were expecting as they waited for Moses to bring them back their staffs? I imagine they were somewhat surprised.
Overnight the dead wood of Aaron’s staff, resting in the presence of God, had not only sprouted, but budded, blossomed, and produced almonds. Not only had life miraculously appeared, but the process of budding to blossoming to producing fruit to being ready to harvest (which usually takes from late February until mid-August) had all happened in just one day.
I often put limits in what I expect God to be able to do or the time frame he will work in-This person that I love seems to be beyond his reach, this harvest might happen, but it will probably take a very long time.
The message of today’s postcard is simply that God is life.
And because unstoppable, limitless, powerful, life is part of who he is, there are no limits on where he can choose to let that life break out; no limits to what he can restore; no limits to how fast he can do it.
Do you know people or situations that seem utterly beyond hope?
Do you wonder whether God can do the impossible things he’s been whispering to you about?
Do you look at your own heart and fear that parts of it are never going to breathe again?
He can take even dead wood and make it fragrant, beautiful and fruitful.
Sometimes all at the same time.
It just needs to rest in his presence.
Ever played the orange-balancing game? Players see how many oranges (or in this case mandarins) they can stack on a tea-plate, then try to stand up, turn around and sit down without dropping any. It’s trickier than you might imagine.
There are days when I think that if someone tries to balance one more orange on top of the pile (just one more) I might yell, throw the whole lot up into the air and storm away to some imaginary place of peace (maybe some arid place where no-one has ever even seen an orange).
I don’t of course, I just keep on balancing and dropping… And avoiding people who might have oranges in their pockets that they want me to carry.
Take care of yourself. Mentally, and physically, as much as you are able. It makes a difference. I hesitate to say this, given the shape I’m currently in, but it really is true that exercise gives you more energy. I don’t know how exactly, but I get more done on days I’ve made it to the gym. Invest time into your mental health too, play, create things, get enough sleep, drink more water. All of these things grow plates.
Take care of yourself spiritually too. Pray! Walk as closely to Jesus as you can, not as far away as you can get away with, take time in God’s presence every day, even if it’s just a little bit.
Choose wisely. Ask for wisdom so that you can make good choices and walk in them. Don’t try to be superman, or superwoman, supermum, superdad or superpastor. If you don’t get what I mean by that please read this.
Finally, grow your faith. Faith is like water that goes granite-hard just as you step out onto it. It gets stronger, wider and more weight-bearing the more you use it. If you never step out onto the water, maybe you’ll never get to learn that it can take your weight?
I pray that if you are balancing oranges, you’ll find ways to grow a bigger plate. That your current burden would become a breeze to balance, and that you would be able to learn to let Jesus take responsibility for the weight. I pray also for those days when oranges fall, that you would be enveloped in a grace that enables you to trust our Good Father -the ultimate expert fruit-catcher.
Hope /həʊp/: n. An optimistic attitude of mind, based on the expectation of positive outcomes.
It seems appropriate that at the start of thew new year I’m sitting here facing the challenge, emptiness and possibilities of a blank page. It’s the calm before the storm of school, activities, study and work beginning again, and 2017 is still an empty blog post, a ticking cursor, waiting for me to get on and write something on it.
As you know, life isn’t all mountain tops. Sometimes it’s deep difficult valleys, and a lot of 2016 was a struggle. I didn’t write much. It’s hard to write about lessons you’re still in the middle of learning and in the valley you don’t much feel like stopping to think about the view.
Actually, in the valley you mostly focus on trying to keep your face out of the rain and keep walking. Sometimes victory is just staying upright and limping on. But, even if you aren’t really aware of it, in the valley, truth takes root, hope buds, new things grow.
This year God has been nudging to me to start writing postcards for people walking through valleys and wildernesses; Postcards of hope. Not the watery hope that we often hear about: longed for, but not really expected, but solid hope. Hope which is the optimism that grows out of what we know in our hearts is coming.
Here is the first, a picture that some of you will recognise. It’s mostly a wilderness, a blank, unexplored space. It’s both terrifyingly empty and brimming with potential and sometimes just what God needs in our lives. Often he creates it, clearing the land of what has gone before to ready it for a new crop. In other times he comes and breathes new life into a space that has been created by a loss that he too wept over.
Either way, if you’re facing a wilderness, it’s time to look for the new thing God is growing. Whatever it is might take a while to bear fruit (and you might need some time to rest and sit and watch it grow), although you should remember that even the dead wood of Aaron’s staff budded, blossomed and bore fruit all on the same day, so at the right time, when God does move, things might happen more quickly than you think!
I know not all of you are walking in valleys right now. Most of our lives are a patchwork of struggles and dancing, with blessing found in parts of both. But I trust that some of you on the mountains might help these postcards find their way to our sisters and brothers in the valleys and perhaps store up some of the truths for the day you do need them yourselves.
And thank you, to all of you who have encouraged me to begin again, to all of you who have shared postcards, who have bought the book and given it away, who have written to tell me how God has used my pictures to speak into your hearts, and who are still here reading in spite of the months of silence. I wouldn’t have made it back here without you.
It means so much to be heard, to be understood.
Last week I took my youngest daughter to see the cinema to see the new Roald Dahl film the BFG (Big Friendly Giant). We both loved it. Katie declared that even without the 3D glasses and hatbox of popcorn it would have been brilliant. high praise indeed.
It is so wonderful to be heard and understood. How much more wonderful to know that even those echoes in your heart that have never made it into words are heard by someone, treasured by someone.
And Roald Dahl was right, someone is listening.
Lord you know all my desires and deepest longings. My tears are liquid words and you can read them all.
The message of this postcard is simply that God hears. He is listening to the whisperings of the hearts of his people. He hears your sadness and your joy, your despair and your hope. He hears your faith and love, confusion and questions, celebrations and disappointments, your anger and your tears.
He has searched your heart thoroughly, knows you completely and loves you fiercely.

As he walked out for batting practice on Friday, Tommy Pham was asked if he enjoyed the day before being an off-day. The St. Louis Cardinals centerfielder shook his head no and continued his stride towards the cage.
Mired in a slump that by his count started six weeks ago, Pham has seen his average drop below .250 for the season.
He’s not sure what led to the flaw, but pulling out his phone to refer to notes and video, Pham is confident he’s identified what the flaw is: barrel position.
A slight change in where his bat starts before his swing has affected his ability to stay through the ball and drive it, instead Pham feels his swing is long and he has to swing around the ball. And so he’s been attacking the issue the only way he knows how, with more work.
And he was. Pham shared he spent about two hours at the ballpark on Thursday working on his swing.
“I can’t remember,” he answered when asked about the last time he actually used a day-off as intended.
Might a break away be of some benefit?
“That’s all he knows,” said an understanding Willie McGee. “That’s what made me–I had to work. That’s how I eliminated the doubt, is by putting in the work. I hit everyday, everyday, everyday. In the winter I hit. I hit, I hit, I hit. I loved it. I enjoyed it. Took balls off the bat. It was fun to m–it wasn’t work. But that’s what I had to do to be at my best.
Last night against Atlanta, Pham drew a pair of walks. While that doesn’t directly reflect a change in his swing, it does count as a positive result.
He also noted that one game is too small a sample size to mark any real change.
“I’ve got to figure it out, it’s up to me,” stated Pham.

Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference and whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin is reportedly being funded through the end of September.
Reuters, citing three U.S. officials familiar, reported on the matter on Monday, noting that the special counsel office's funding was not addressed in the White House and Justice Department's new budget requests. The officials told the news outlet that Mueller's team is still being funded by the U.S. Treasury under specific regulations administered by the Department of Justice.
“The Special Counsel is funded by the Independent Counsel appropriation, a permanent indefinite appropriation established in the Department’s 1988 Appropriations Act,” a Justice Department spokesman said.
Wasn't this whole report a case of putting the cart before the horse? Really... just how many times is a criminal investigation begun BEFORE a crime has been founded? Don't investigations take place after a crime, not before one has occurred?
Why was this episode handled so differently? oh... wait a sec. It was done because it was to harass and attempt to embarrass one DJT!
Would appointing a special prosecutor be the best way for the courts to find out the how and why as Lindsey Graham suggested?
A gentle reminder of what you are dealing with in Robert Mueller. And welcome to TBR!
You realize the prosecutors are under the auspice of the Attorney General, who was Holder, right?
The whole Mueller circus is so freakin' stupid. It is so ridiculous. And it will never ever end, regardless of the dozens of articles which come out every week claiming that he is wrapping up.
This fiasco is Mueller's retirement plan. He plans to "investigate" for the rest of his life.
Like Lawrence Walsh's fiasco Mueller's 'investigation' will continue until there is nothing more to be politically gained.
Holder had zero interest in getting a Republican out of office. It would be wrong.
Yes I do, and consider Mueller to be another member of the Clinton cabal just like Eric "The Red" Holder.
Muller commentary aside, this is kind of a funny story in that all it is saying is that they at budgeted through the current budget cycle - which everything in DC is budgeted through the current budget cycle (Defense aside).
Not everybody thinks Mueller is the "straight shooter" we were promised. A few people don't trust him at all. Shocking.
Yeah! It's unbelievable that some still think they can trust that worthless SOB!
No, just people like the current AG and former WH counsel Ty Cobb do. But, what do they know?
No, just people like the current AG and former WH counsel Ty Cobb do.
And, being human, they can be wrong as well. They can also be disagreed with and I definitely do here.

Before the year 1846 Goodes Creek Church was a Methodist church by the name of Goodes Chapel. After the Methodists moved out, a Holiness congregation used the church building for worship services for some time, then moved out also.
After some lapse of time the Baptists began to meet here for worship services. In the year 1908 the Baptists organized and named the church Goodes Creek Baptist Church. Their first pastor was Rev. C. M. Teal. Since that time the church has had nineteen different pastors. Pastor, Rev. Hubert Street, has served from January, 1976 to 1990.
In the year 1911 a new building was needed and was built by the men of the church. This building served well until 1933, when the church began to grow. Then a new building was considered. Some of the members wanted to move to the old vacant school building about one mile northeast of the present location, and some wanted to build at the present site. The results were that about twenty-six members moved to the old school building, and formed Calvary Baptist Church. The remaining eighty-eight (estimated) members remained, and during the great Depression started plans for building a new church building.
At this time Rev. T. H. Harris was called as pastor. The old building was torn down and services were held at the home of Mr. J. O. Scruggs until the new building was completed.
In 1976 a new building began to be needed and funds were raised In 1978, on April 2, a dedication service was held for the new sanctuary. The present building seats approximately 360 people and cost approximately $140,000.00 furnished. The old sanctuary has since been remodeled into Sunday school classrooms.
God has richly blessed this church down through the years, and our prayer is that His continued blessings may rest on all His work.
Our church is located on the Goodes Creek Road in the Chase Community. The church received its name from Mr. M L Goode who gave the property on which the church was built in that beginning long ago. In April of 2005 Goodes Creek celebrated 100 years.

Last week it was license plate scanner – a necessary police tool to track and document who you are, where you live, work, shop and play. Today it’s “Irrigation crackdown” in the Times-Standard. Another necessary police tool in the form of the law AB 2284 by Assemblyman Wesley Chesbro, D-Arcata on the governor’s desk for signing. Chesbro says, according to Megan Hansen, “this legislation gives law enforcement new tools to protect public resource lands and private industrial timberland from harmful environmental practices. He defines the “practices” as “drug operations.” The “tool,” he says is, law enforcement (peace officers = Megan Hansen) would have to power to stop and question people transporting visible irrigation supplies through unpaved or gravel roads.
“Transporting visible irrigation supplies” sounds innocuous enough, doesn’t it? Would that be “supplies” on a big truck or in the back of pickup? What’s next fertilizers, building materials? Maybe it’s permanent security check points at county lines or better yet one between Eureka and Fortuna, at Bridgeville, Garberville, Trinidad – you name it.
It’s always the same thing with Knee-Jerkers. There’s always some overriding need to supplant, ignore or parse long established law.

Get into this restaurant while you can, if you even can.
A "members-only" Italian-American eatery in Philadelphia has scored a coveted spot on Bon Appétit's list of this year's "The Hot 10: America's Best New Restaurants," released Tuesday.
The national food magazine ranked South Philadelphia's Palizzi Social Club at No. 4 on the list, just behind restaurants in New Orleans, Chicago and San Francisco.
Palizzi is far from new, however. The Italian eatery first opened its doors in 1918. Diners looking to score a table will have to do a bit of legwork. Palizzi is cash only, proper attire is required, and there's a strict "no blogging, reviewing or tagging on social media" rule, according to its website.
Membership dues are $20 and 10 memberships are available at the door at night. Each member is allowed three guests. Also, there's no doorknob or phone – just a doorman who greets members.
Diners ready to chow down on a plate of authentic gravy may have to wait, however.
"Thanks for your overwhelming interest!" the social club writes on its website. "Due to the high demand for Palizzi Memberships, the society has ceased all membership activities, via our website, until further notice. Stay tuned ... We will keep you posted and hope to open up more memberships very soon."
But whatever it takes might just be worth it. Bon Appétit boasts: "They just don’t make restaurants like this anymore."
In its "Hot 10" write-up, Bon Appétit touted the space as a "time capsule from the Kennedy era."
"I could tell you not to fill up on the bread basket — house-made grissini, fresh-baked semolina studded with sesame, and triangular mozzarella-stuffed fritters, all served with a spicy bowl of marinara — but you will, and you should. The classic Caesar arrives creamy and perfectly dressed with a shower of shaved Parm and a healthy dose of meaty anchovies — just the way I like it. If the spaghetti with blue crab is on the menu, you’re getting it, and no one will look at you funny if you tuck your napkin into your collar."
There might be a workaround for those anxious enough and maybe even for Sheehan, too. Following its annual tradition, Bon Appétit is hosting a big celebration with the top 10 restaurants in New York City on Sept. 6 at 7:30 p.m. General admission tickets are $99.
Too steep? Drool out over Appetit's complete list, available in its September issue, here.

Thank you for liking one of my earlier articles on my blog: http://www.babyboomersandmore.com. I am so impressed by your efforts to involve the senior community in the cerebral game of chess! I am a volunteer certified advocate/ombudsman for vulnerable adults living in senior communities in Washington State and marvel at how “with it” the residents become when involved in something engaging, e.g., bean bag baseball, playing chimes, painting as a part of the Seniors Making Art project. It’s also very heartwarming to me that the younger set – that’s you two – are focused on the elderly. I feel that EVERYbody benefits from an inter-generational approach to helping ones greater local community. Thank you for your stellar efforts!

There’s no hard and fast rule when it comes to buying in bulk. I think it just depends on the items – if buying a particular item in bulk makes sense and has the potential to save a decent amount of money, then yes we should go for it.
Harry, anything you prefer to buy in bulk?
My wife was just telling me about that article. I think it may be possible, but could be tricky to balance. We go to Costco and will stock up on some deals that are actually good, but there is only so far we can go with it. Our house fills up easily enough as it is without filling it with 10 cases of TP because we were able to save a few bucks. We take advantage of the savings and nothing really beyond that.
Yeah, we don’t ‘hoard’ much either. but it is interesting to look at buying in bulk as an investment rather than a smart purchase. Makes us take a good look at what investing really is.
This is interesting. I don’t buy much in bulk because I have done a very detailed analysis and I save more money at Target then I do at Costco. That is just what I have found, but it is also because of what we shop for.
I always thought Target was fairly expensive. Did you write an article on your analysis?
I did the analysis before I had my blog, so I don’t have the numbers anymore, but with the membership fee of the bulk store, Target won on the items that we purchased on a regular basis. That was all that was important to us.
Go ahead! I’m sure you can do the topic better justice than I did.
I’ll still do it. Just not this week. Maybe July.
I guess it depends on what you do with the savings. If you can save 10% on something and you put that money directly into savings, then I guess that could be considered an investment with a 10% return. But if the savings are just spent on something else, then it’s definitely not an investment.
I wouldn’t classify it as an traditional investment either. It could help defer costs over the longterm though.
I would never buy in bulk unless the discount is enough and I would use the product in a reasonable amount of time. For example, I would not want to buy a years worth of razors just because I might save 10%.
I wouldn’t either, but I then again I grow a beard in the winter.
I think it’s a great way to save money. Really, if we look at it in totality, whether saving or investing, we want to see our money grow. This is another vehicle by which we can do that, as long as we keep our other expenses constant of course!
I don’t think I would ever view it as an investment per se, maybe more of a hedge fund against the future rise in prices.
Just food for thought. Nom Nom.

Saw an article today in the Jugs Co. newsletter that I thought was worth sharing. It was written by their regular softball columnist Celeste Knierim, who is also a college coach.
She was talking about the e-mail addresses players often use today -- names like blondebombshell, QTpie, things like that. These names don't make the player sound like a serious person -- not exactly the impression someone looking for a college scholarship wants to give.
Check it out -- it's definitely worth a read.
This is true. See it all the time. I don't really think much of it but I can see where some college coaches might have second thoughts. I'd suggest establishing a separate email address for recruiting use. I've seen some girls use some derivation of their name along with the year they graduate. Something including softball something or other suggests to a coach the player is passionate about softball.
As the lead recruiter for a Div II university for 5 years before I resigned I did not pay any attention to emails addresses. When I did notice one that was really difrerent I would mention it to the head coach to get a laugh. If a college coach puts to much into 16-17 year old email addresses then I only have one thing to say to college coach "get a life".
Let's get real here you are not recruiting the email address you are recruiting the girl. If you are paying more attention to their email address than their atheltics and academics you have an attention problem. Some coaches are just to annal for me. So let's keep in perspective and let these kids be kids because once they are in school they will find out it is a job more than a sport.
Do you have a list of theings and items you typically looked for in a potential recruit?
Lists may be different for pitchers, catchers, infielders and outfielders, but with all of the recent discussion regarding collegiate recruiting, this could be helpful to the group. This site gererates veru useful and helpful dialog to those of us with a bigger learning curve they many more experienced coaches/parents.
This is a great question. First you have to understand each university is different but there are basics that each college recruiter looks for.
Academics: Grades, grades, grades did I mention grades. GPA 3.0 and better make it really easy for college coaches to bring into the college environement. SAT and ACT scores are also just important. But the higher the GPA it takes away from the necessity for a truly high SAT score. But the higher the GPA and SAT lets the college coach know the PSA will have a better chance of making thru and achieving a degree from there university.
Attitude: Many colleges coaches look for hustling hardworking PSA. I know many recruiters who did this and did this myself. When I recruited I came out when the PSA did know when I was there and evaluated how they did. You see some PSA only hustle and work hard when they know the univeristy they want to go is there. Be a team player. We all know that some times we make mistakes or get hit as a pitcher or errors happen behind the pitcher but the coach is looking for is what the PSA does when it happens. If they do not hustle or cop and attitude or give up they will walk away. But if you stick in there and do not give up they will come back because they have seen the PSA perform at their best and their worse.
Skill level: We all look for that top 25 athlete but we all know they go to the top 25 university in the country. So we never lower our standards but look for the PSA who have good skills level but also have good learning ability. I and many other recruiteres watched PSA warm up and see if they take direction well. If they do not listen to direction but have skill level many leave because they want the skill level but a PSA who is willing to adjust to different skill development drills.
My advise is keep it simple. Truly evaluate your daughters skills level. Sit down her freshman season and come up with 30 college she would like to go to. This is where it get sticky many parents want to interject their will on there daughter to pursuade her to go to the college they want them to go too. Have a 3 way conversation and ensure your daughter view point is the main issue. But the reason I say her freshman year is because they change their mind as the get more mature and understand the system. the 3- teams should range from her #1 to her #30. Her Sohpmore year start contacting each college. Send an email with a player profile attached. Along with that send her team's tournament/showcase schedule. Keep in constant contact. As she comes closer to recuiting age college will become more interested and will start to contact her. Also stay out of it let her with your gauidance talk with the college coach. I felt when a parent got involved at an extreme degree then I thought the PSA was not ready for the big step.
So hopefully I answered your question ands if I can offer any other assistance for further guidance let me know. Oh I forgot have a real good video completed and ready and send them out to every college you sent email too.
That may be true, but it doesn't change the fact that some coaches will see that and question how serious the player is. Remember, teachers have been fired for posting pictures of themselves getting drunk at a party, or otherwise acting like 20-somethings.
If you want to play softball in college, why take the chance? A softball-specific e-mail, as Mark suggested, makes a lot of sense. Same strategy college grads are being told to use for job-hunting, by the way.
Been there done that with recruiting. I have sat next to and discussed recruiting and situations like this with some of the top university in the country and I know for a fact they do not pay attention to email addresses. They know they are recruiting 16-18 year olds who try to have lifes outside of softball.
An example of one of the last recruits I recruited who decided to sign with and attend my old university her email was boneheadcatcher13. If I decided to recruit via your description she would have never attended and performed above what we expected her too. This young lady help lead this the team to back to back regional berths. Keep it simple and not complicated let these kids be kids they rarely get to do things most kids thier age gets to do anyway.
I don't doubt your experience but I don't see any down side in taking the five minutes to set up a softball specific email address. Can't hurt.
Neither do I. What I am addressing is the fact that most college coaches do not recruit PSA's by their email it is their athletic and academic credentials they recruit. Most college coaches are not as annal as what is being depicted on here .
Since I have addressed this thread I have talked with about 5 college recruiters from some pretty prominent schools and they find it funny that people outside of softball recruiting would think they would actually pay attention to 16-18 year old email addresses. But using a softbal medifore is ok too .
I don't disagree. Cheap insurance though.
I could talk at length though about how quick a coach can get turned off by the way an athlete deals with their coach, their team mates-even their parents.

I am a perfectionist. This may sound like A Very Good Thing. After all, who wouldn’t want to be perfect, flawless or ideal? But, in fact, it’s actually bad for me. Perfectionists often have trouble getting started on things (like writing) because they want conditions to be perfect. They have trouble finishing because they worry what they’re doing will never be good enough. And they are more inclined to suffer from depression because they seldom meet their own very high goals. Perfectionism is also terrible for the people surrounded by it.
* Figure out the steps I need to take in order to organize my office.
* Determine how I can lower my standards so that it’s even easier to organize my office.
* Create a schedule that allows me to organize my office for 25 minutes each day.
* Give myself plenty of reminders about how much I really want to organize my office.
I no longer procrastinate about writing but if you do, you might try giving it a proxy. Call it something else that sounds much more attractive to you. Perhaps you are going to learn a new recipe? Maybe you need to draw some pictures? Or let’s say you are simply want to work on an email to a friend.

As Hurricane Harvey continues to bear down on the Gulf Coast, we know that many members of our union family have been affected by this devastating, historic storm; in fact, estimates are that in Texas, as many as 30 percent of NEA members may be impacted.
NEA is working hard to raise funds on behalf of our sisters and brothers as they begin the slow and excruciating process of rebuilding their lives financially and emotionally. NEA and the NEA Foundation have created the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund, and your support of this fund is incredibly appreciated. Click on the link above, which takes you to the NEA Foundation page and scroll down a little. There you will find the specific Hurricane Harvey fund.
The money received in this fund will be given out to members by the state affiliate in the state affected.

However, I had a chance encounter with an admissions officer of Stevens Institute of Technology, who so impressed me by his erudition and enthusiasm for the school that I changed course and entered Stevens Institute.
This line of research continued when I went, and brought my research group with me, to the new University of California, Irvine campus in 1966 to become the founding Dean of the School of Physical Sciences.
My early childhood memories center around this typical American country store and life in a small American town, including 4th of July celebrations marked by fireworks and patriotic music played from a pavilion bandstand.
Over the years, a number of other intriguing experimental ideas and areas of investigation have been the objects of my attention, and I have devoted some time and effort to exploring the inherent possbilities.
Among my activities was membership in the Boy Scouts; I rose each year through the ranks, eventually achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and undertaking leadership roles in the organization.
I was strongly encouraged by a science teacher who took an interest in me and presented me with a key to the laboratory to allow me to work whenever I wanted.
I received my undergraduate degree in engineering in 1939 and a Master of Science degree in mathematical physics in 1941 at Steven Institute of Technology.
In 1958, I was a delegate to the Atoms for Peace conference in Geneva.
During my participation in the Manhattan Project and subsequent research at Los Alamos, encompassing a period of fifteen years, I worked in the company of perhaps the greatest collection of scientific talent the world has ever known.
I turned my attention for a while to gamma ray astronomy and soon began the first in a continous series of experiments at the Savannah River site to study the properties of the neutrino.
Our home had many books due principally to the educational interests of my sister and two brothers, all of whom where serious students engaged in professional studies; my sister became a doctor of medicine and my brothers became lawyers.
In 1956 we observed the electron antineutrino.
Most of these experiments required the reduction of the cosmic ray muon flux in order to be successful, and the group necessarily became expert in the operation of deep underground laboratories.
I served as Dean until 1974, when I stepped down to return to full time teaching and research.

Over the last decade, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have propelled the discovery of thousands of loci associated with complex diseases. The focus is now turning toward the function of these association signals, determining the causal variant(s) among those in strong linkage disequilibrium, and identifying their underlying mechanisms, such as long-range gene regulation. Genome-editing techniques utilizing zinc-finger nucleases (ZFN), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and clustered regularly-interspaced short palindromic repeats with Cas9 nuclease (CRISPR-Cas9) are becoming the tools of choice to establish functionality for these variants, due to the ability to assess effects of single variants in vivo. This review will discuss examples of how these technologies have begun to aid functional analysis of GWAS loci for complex traits such as cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, cancer, obesity, and autoimmune disease. We focus on analysis of variants occurring within noncoding genomic regions, as these comprise the majority of GWAS variants, providing the greatest challenges to determining functionality, and compare editing strategies that provide different levels of evidence for variant functionality. The review describes molecular insights into some of these potentially causal variants and how these may relate to the pathology of the trait and look toward future directions for these technologies in post-GWAS analysis, such as base-editing.

[09-Dec-09] Tropical Storm Lee made landfall over New Orleans on Sept. 2-3, 2011, with predicted rainfall of 15 to 20 inches (38 to 51 centimeters) over southern Louisiana. This coincided with a surge in discharge from the Mississippi River around that time (bottom chart). NASA's Aquarius instrument on the Aquarius/SAC-D spacecraft detected a corresponding low-salinty feature, as seen in the Aquarius weekly composite image (Aug 28 - Sept 3) in the top diagram (the low-salinity feature is the blue color region between the Mississippi River delta and the Florida panhandle). This preliminary finding is likely the result of both the increased river discharge and heavy rainfall from the storm directly on the sea surface. The low-salinity feature is gone by late October, as seen in the middle image. Original images: Photojournal. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/GSFC/USGS.

In 1993 the 4 Non Blondes had a huge international hit with their song titled "What’s up?". Linda Perry, the vocalist and songwriter, sings in the first phrase, “I realised quickly when I knew I should that the world was made up of this brotherhood of man for whatever that means …” The song’s chorus further asks the pivotal question: "What’s going on?" The question is obviously rhetorical but is, moreover, a statement of discontent.
Linda Perry became a songwriter mostly after her band split up and she was the person behind Christina Aguilera’s hit song "Beautiful", which in its music video had the theme of self-acceptance and portrayed the two gay men kissing and the transvestite. The conclusion is obvious – acceptance of the fringe, acceptance of the "other".
I fear that in terms of acceptance we are starting to take one giant leap backwards. And by "we" I mean the so-called men’s movement.
There seems to be a phenomenon rearing its evil head. All around the world men led by other self-appointed preachers and moral leaders are revolting against feminism and claiming back their god-ordained place in society as head of the house etc, all under the auspices of religious dogma. They call this the so-called men’s movement.
This resurgence and revolt against feminism is proliferating at a rapid speed and I fear that in terms of human rights we will be back in the dark Middle Ages.
The patriarchy thinks in terms of binary oppositions, or dichotomies, depending on which nomenclature you prefer: male versus female or the "one" versus the "other".
I was always flabbergasted when heterosexual people always wanted to know the butch and femme in homosexual relationships. It is just a manifestation of the obsession with dichotomies and the patriarchy’s utter disregard for equality and the notion of the subservience of the female. Certain heterosexuals, and of course the patriarchy par excellence, continue to impose these constructs upon everyone else to simplify their lives. This is also known as old-fashioned stereotyping.
As James Dobson was quoted in the New York Times, “Tolerance and its first cousin diversity is almost always code for homosexual advocacy.” It seems the patriarchy has a huge gripe with tolerance and diversity. It just doesn’t quite fit into their strict dichotomies.
Now more about James Dobson. He is the founder of the Focus on the Family Foundation and has been spitting out conservative drivel since 1977. Note that James Dobson is no reverend/priest/minister or religious scholar but a psychologist with a very clear ulterior motive. Note also that the Focus on the Family Foundation produces ready-to-play radio programmes, an almost prêt-à-porter of the broadcast industry. And also note that the vast majority of South African community radio stations naively broadcast this conservative drivel, much to the astonishment of the liberal community.
Our nation is built on tolerance and diversity; our coat of arms says "unity in diversity", after all. Now why do these radio stations propagate division?
James Dobson also went on the most illogical tirade about the innocent and very likeable cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants. He was widely quoted that said character was a product of the pink agenda (inferring gay mafia connotations) and maintains that SpongeBob SquarePants will pollute the minds of the young and feed them pro-homosexual messages.
The feminists and the LGBT community had a common enemy in the patriarchy and its utter disregard for the rights of the "other", this "other" being everyone except the heterosexual male.
I did a simple Google search on "the evils of the patriarchy" and to my astonishment most results led to websites that proclaim the evil of feminism, and the foundation of their dislike is "the bible tells us so".
Ever since the advent of the modern constitutional democracy there has been the vital and clear separation between church and state. Otherwise politically we would be back in the Middle Ages.
The problem with the patriarchy is that it is the basis of many cultures and it is sanctioned by religious texts, hence it still being in practice today. The Patriarchy imposes their strict dichotomies on everyone else, thus subverting the rights of everyone but the heterosexual male. The Patriarchy also has no tolerance for equality and firmly believes in the subservience of the "other" (historically the female); they thus also regard women and the LGBT community as lesser persons and would not grant them equal rights.
Then there are also the tragic stories of Sizakele Sigasa, Salome Masooa, Zoliswa Nkonyana and Eudy Simelane. They all were brutally murdered, some raped and tortured for no other reason but their sexual orientation. What they have in common is that they were all female homosexuals, thus a double NO from the patriarchy.
Here we have the dichotomy of the "one" versus the "other" again, and obviously the rights of the "other" have fallen by the wayside; moreover the "others" have been the victims of attack as exemplified by the xenophobic attacks of 2008 and the brutal murders of these four women.
Louise Reardon, activist, writes the following: “Adam and Eve. Two of our oldest and most intertwined human roots are organised religion and patriarchy. The most evident and convenient way to ensure a man's position in the patriarchal family image was to dictate and confine a woman's sexual behaviour. Thus, man fulfilled his basic biological need – to 'invest' in his own children. This control was justified by the suggestion women were inferior, not to mention, sexual temptations designed to corrupt men.
"This 'moral justification' was – and is – masked and enforced in organised religion, disguising it as sacred and divine laws, stating a woman's proper place is quietly at home, hidden from the 'man's world', out there. These patriarchal, religious structures inevitably spill over into how our societies function today. What has been created is a male-dominant culture biased in its thinking and actions. Thus, such an environment restricts and inhibits the equally important beliefs, roles and contributions of women.
"'Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.' – 1 Tim. 2:11-14.
Just as these excerpts explain the situation in the USA, so these notions have shown up here in South Africa as well. Think of the “Mighty Men” conferences. Sad and immensely frightening and utterly detrimental to the egalitarian society we want to build here.
And lastly, now I want to ask that anthem of a question that Linda Perry asked about fifteen years ago: "What’s going on?".

Zimbabwe’s Chomunorwa ‘Sting’ Gondarenda will defend his WBF African Cruiserweight Boxing title against Nigeria’s Tony ‘Sugar’ Salam at the Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos…On October 26.
Kwese in partnership with Kalakoda Boxing Promotions is bringing the Friday Fight Nights series dubbed, Chaos in Lagos, to Nigeria on October 26.
Scheduled to take place at the Federal Palace Hotel in Victoria Island, Chaos in Lagos, will feature the much-anticipated rematch between Chomunorwa ‘Sting’ Gondarenda and Tony ‘Sugar’ Salam for Gondarenda’s WBF Africa Cruiserweight title.
Nigerian sports fans wanting to tune-in for all the live action will be spoilt for viewing options, thanks to Kwesé’s multiplatform broadcasting approach.
Kwesé will provide full broadcast coverage of the event through satellite TV on channel 285 on the Kwesé TV bouquet, the Kwesé TV app linked to an active pay TV subscription, or Kwesé Free Sports UHF channel 32, as well as the Kwesé iflix mobile app.
For viewers outside Nigeria, Kwesé has signed sublicense agreements with various free-to-air (FTA) broadcasters across the continent, to ensure millions of viewers across the continent can enjoy free access to the fight wherever they are. The event will also be streamed on YouTube Live.
Salam and Gondarenda fought in August to a disputed decision in Harare where Gondarenda retained his belt on a split decision.
Immediately after the fight Gondarenda said that he would fight Salam again, “any time any place,” this time it will be in Salam’s backyard with neutral judges agreed by both camps.
The fight is a contrast of styles with Gondarenda the come forward fighter, and Salam the slick counter puncher, fighting often on the back foot.
Salam will need to be more definitive in his approach, he clearly landed the cleaner blows, but it was the Zimbabwean champion’s relentless aggression and ring control that perhaps swayed the judges during their first match up.
“The Friday Fight Night series has been successfully staged across the continent, it is now Nigeria’s turn to roll out the red carpet and put on an exceptional sporting display.
As a premium sports destination, Kwesé is proud to once again provide full broadcast coverage of yet another first-class sporting event.

In our lifetime, 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer. Most people know family members or friends who have been impacted by cancer. Unfortunately, all of us probably will at some point. We joined the SAA community so that, together, we can change the impact cancer has on our lives. Some of us are challenging ourselves by swimming in the Houston Open Water Swim and raising as much money to fight cancer as we can. Others are volunteering their time to make this event successful, or simply donating. Please support us by sponsoring our swims and making a gift. The money you give will go toward cancer research, prevention and treatment in Pediatric Oncology and Neuro Oncology at MD Anderson. We will make an impact in the fight to find a cure. Thank you for your generosity, and may it lead to a cancer-free world!
Check should be made out to Swim Across America, but please include a note mentioning our team or the swimmer you are supporting!

Trifecta would be a great addition to your Total Equine. When fed at 4 pounds per day, Total Equine provides 0.5 mg of inorganic selenium to your horse, because it is a nationally-branded product. Oregon, Washington, Idaho, the Great Lakes area, and East Coast however are extremely selenium deficient, therefore supplements must provide particularly all the selenium in order for our horses’ selenium requirements to be met. Trifecta will ensure that your horse is receiving 3 mg of organic selenium. Too much selenium from both products would only really be a concern in the Midwest. The organic selenium in our product is more bioavailable as well as safer to your horse. So as he ages even more it will help to keep his immunity high and muscle functioning well, by helping to rid the body of free-radicals. The other added benefits that he receive from Trifecta will help him to stay feeling good are a gut, hoof, and joint supplement. We have fifteen head of horses from yearlings to 24 year old broodmares and everything in between, and they all receive Trifecta. My good mare is 20 this year and has been on Trifecta most of her life, and I still compete heavily on her. Thanks to Trifecta I have to do very little maintenance and she hasn’t lost a step.

In the UK, there are an estimated 10-15, 000 donkeys; most of these are kept as companion animals, while some are used for light riding/driving and as therapy animals.
Donkeys can be a long- lived equid with reported ages commonly into their late 20s and even 30’s. As they are not required to perform as athletes, many donkeys enter old age with chronic geriatric problems that need diagnosing and managing.
The donkey is a species with pronounced pain masking behaviours (stoicism), and many serious, painful and even life-threatening illnesses may present only as a generally dull animal with reduced appetite.
There is a general lack of many preventative health measures provided to donkeys including regular dentistry, farriery, anthelmintic treatment, and even vaccination, microchipping and passporting. This means that donkeys not only are more likely to suffer disease themselves but also have the potential to act as sources of disease/infection to other equines.
The net results of all the above is that donkey welfare is frequently compromised and charities such as The Donkey Sanctuary are required to provide assistance or be involved in prosecutions against owners under the Animal Welfare Act.
There are many methods to assess welfare involving animal based and resource based indicators. The Animal Welfare Indicators (AWIN) for donkeys is founded on the principles of good feeding, good housing, good health and appropriate behaviour. Art the Donkey Sanctuary we are using this to monitor the herd health of our donkeys on a regular basis. A larger group of welfare indicators has been developed to assess welfare across the full spectrum of roles that donkeys play globally including in the meat, milk and skin trade. These type of assessments are particularly useful for providing information about groups of donkeys and how to prioritise resources to care for them.
For the individual donkey and owner we have developed a simple Quality of Life framework using eight objective easily identified criteria and one subjective criteria. These are charted on a regular basis with the owner and vet working together to agree on the scoring system.
Movement- lameness grade 1 mild- 5 severe. Donkey normal values for radiological parameter of the feet should be used.
Demeanour- general owner assessment of well being- this can be supplemented by a behavioural assessment form that is available to look at normal day to day activity patterns of the donkey.
The system developed uses donkey normal values and knowledge of the variations from the horse to interpret the findings and ensure correct dosing of medications.
When we use this system over a period of time there is a better understanding of the long term needs of the donkey by all parties – vets, owners, and paraprofessionals. Monitoring can result in changes to management that improve QoL and ensure a better life. Conversely monitoring can allow objective measurements to note decline in QoL so that all involved in the care of the donkey can make the decision that euthanasia may be the most humane option. Regular checks reduce the problem that is often seen when owners adapt to a poorer QoL as they fail to notice incremental changes in the animals’ well-being.
There are many ways as vets that we can help donkeys to live good lives; and by knowing their unique characteristics and differences from horses we can ensure that the welfare of donkeys we attend is as good as we can make it.
The role of donkeys in the UK and Europe has changed over the past 40 years, and is still changing – these equids are primarily used as companions, but also for tourism, therapy and increasingly for milk production. When it comes to the end of their lives and issues surrounding equine end-of-life care, a recent study highlighted that many donkey owners rely on their vet to provide them with information on quality of life (QOL) assessment, geriatric care and euthanasia planning. This article aims to assist veterinary surgeons in assessing donkey welfare and helping owners decide how to improve QOL or whether an end-point has been reached and euthanasia is indicated.

For the past four years Kits Energy riders have made this event a priority in their cycling season. For some, they are riding for personal reasons; for friends or family members. Others are riding because they want to support the cause and others are riding simply because it is a very well run event.
No matter what the reason, Kits Energy had over 30 members riding together again this year and sadly I wasn’t able to get a picture with everyone in it. However, we don’t need a picture to remind us that participating in these community events is what brings us closer together. It is through these connections that we can learn to support each other and one day we will stamp out the stigma of mental health. Talking about how our brain is functioning should be just as easy as discussing the cold we had last week. There is no shame in asking for help.

With the Mueller report completion, in timing that was perhaps the most perfect “Friday night news dump” ever, the networks broke in shortly after 5 p.m. eastern.
At was at that time that a letter was sent to Congress information them of the investigation’s completion and possible next steps.
NBC used its normal special report open but placed Lester Holt in front of a video wall backdrop that had a stylized, italic sans serif “The Mueller Report” logotype along with a collage of photos and motifs borrowed from the America and Russian flags.
ABC News had chief anchor George Stephanopoulos reporting from the “ABC World News Tonight” set with a special open that seemed intent on using the word report as many times as possible: “This is an ABC News special report: The Mueller Report. Now reporting, George Stephanopoulos.” The network also developed a special logotype that was, in an unusual move for it, only three words long.
CBS, meanwhile, used a blue-gray motif with corner accents and super clear “The Mueller Report” logotype. The network didn’t use its normal special report open, instead opting for anchor Jeff Glor to give the intro himself. CBS also updated its lower third graphics with a match color scheme.

VILLA CARDAL, Uruguay -- The 1,200 inhabitants of this isolated rural town could not care less about a feud between U.S. tech companies Intel and AMD. But recently it began a social experiment that could impact not only its development but also the fortunes of several U.S. corporate giants.
Eight-year-old Nahuel Lema and his 135 classmates at Number 24: Italia, the only primary school here, took home new laptops May 10 thanks to a partnership between the Uruguayan government and One Laptop per Child (OLPC), a United States' non-profit born out of the MIT Media Lab.
Nahuel's mother, Grisela, sat right beside him in his classroom, her face beaming with pride. Born and raised here, she is anything but a techie, never once having used email. Villa Cardal has one main street and no traffic lights. Many here work as farmhands at dairy ranches. The community is in the "paper and pencil era" says fourth grade teacher Hania Villanueva.
Since its inception, OLPC has been hailed and derided for its goal of providing "$100" laptops to the world. The machines lack costly bells and whistles and use open-source software instead of Windows, an increasing popular idea in poor countries.
Threatened, Microsoft and Intel are now developing competing programs. And numerous others are likely to jump on the bandwagon to provide cheap access to technology to developing countries.
Last Sunday's 60 Minutes played up a rift between Intel's Craig Barrett and OLPC founder Nicholas Negroponte. Barrett once called the OLPC machine a "gadget."
Negroponte asserted that Intel's real fear is that OLPC machines use chips made by AMD, its' competitor.
But good television drama notwithstanding, one basic question remains unanswered: How does such a laptop program get off the ground? Uruguay may provide the answer. Just over one week into the OLPC pilot, it is serving as a model to other countries and will likely be a key player in determining the program's outcome.
Choosing the community was the first key decision of the Uruguayan National Technology Laboratory (LATU), the government-owned, privately run institution managing the program.
Lower-middle-class Villa Cardal is typically Uruguayan. Homes have electricity and running water, but residents remain beholden to an agricultural economy in an increasingly competitive global commodity market. Economic opportunity is their greatest need.
Ms. Lema says, "I want my son to study everything, and learn as much as he can. I hope he can enter the professional sector."
With only one school in Villa Cardal, all kids can receive laptops, maintaining Uruguay's traditional sense of egalitarianism.
Uruguay is the first OLPC pilot country to provide laptops to an entire school and directly involve the whole community, says David Cavallo, OLPC Americas' director.
Thailand, Nigeria, Libya, and Brazil have already distributed OLPC machines, but in piecemeal fashion. In the two participating Brazilian schools, only some students are covered. And in Sao Paulo they still cannot take home their laptops due to concerns about crime.
In Villa Cardal, students took theirs home on Day 1. School principal Marcelo Galain prefers that, saying, "They have to learn to take care of their laptops. They will value them more."
That approach also increases parent involvement, another challenge to the program. That's one reason Ms. Lema does not fear losing her son to his laptop. She plans to learn the technology with him.
Maria Fojo echoed that sentiment at her home the day after the program launch. "Sure they will play computer games. But also, last night, they already read the instructions on how to take photos [with their laptops]," said the mother of sixth-grade twins, Franco and Lucas. "At least they will now be forced to read. They never read books."
Meanwhile, her boys, seated at their living room table, were buried in their computers, despite having a sunny day-off from school and living across from a soccer field.
Jennifer Espino and her sister, Camila, also sixth graders, were also at home beginning their newfound life as tech-geeks. Jennifer boasted about having failed first grade. Pointing to her laptop, she said, "I was lucky" to still attend this school.
Previously empty of children playing, the streets only came to life when the Espino girls and the Fojo boys were unsure how to download MP3s. They walked to school, hoping to ask a teacher.
Meanwhile the teachers were in the middle of a day-long training by LATU, the reason for the kids' day off.
Anxiety filled the classroom. Traner Pablo Flores said, "I see there are a lot of doubts here." His colleague later added, "Don't' worry if your students end up knowing more than you. That should be your goal."
Hania Villanueva, who looked overwhelmed at the training, said in a phone interview one week later that she is already integrating the laptops into her curriculum, using Internet maps to teach Uruguayan geography and kid-friendly games to teach geometry.
LATU is seeing the teachers through the program, its trainers having made the four-hour round-trip commute from Montevideo every day of the first week.
The Uruguayan government is playing a larger role than other governments in the region. Uruguay joined in December 2006. Brazil entered the program back in 2005 but started only in March of this year. Argentina received OLPC laptops in January, but its local advocate is mired in a Buenos Aires election campaign.
Uruguay views the OLPC concept strategically, having its own aggressive digitalization program for the country. LATU later this month will solicit offers from all sponsors of cheap laptop programs, including Intel, says its director Miguel Brechner.
A top government priority is growth of the country's information technology sector, which already exports more software per capita than any other country in South America. But the sector currently has zero unemployment, and needs trained workers trained in technology.
While Brazilian President Ignacio Lula da Silva and many others see OLPC as a social program that aims to include the poor in the technology revolution, Brechner and Jorge Lepra, the minister of Industry, Energy, and Mining, the program's two champions here, go beyond that. They see OLPC as a way to bolster Uruguay's economic competitiveness.
"They saw how this would be a boost to the economic development of Uruguay faster than anyone . . . and they have been the most effective," says OLPC's Cavallo.

You don’t have to be Marie Kondo to practice the art of introducing zen into your home. The Tidying Up book and Netflix show of the same name offer teachings in how to unclutter your home for a clean, balanced appearance, but at Furniture Row, we also love Japanese interior design. The ancient rituals and tea ceremonies of this Asian culture center around peace, harmony, and tranquility, so it’s no wonder that this serene and simple design trend is becoming more and more popular in the United States too. With product inspiration from Furniture Row and The Showroom @Furniture Row and these easy tips, you can bring Japan inspired style into your home.
Japanese-inspired interior design is not elaborate. Minimalist design principles include sleek lines, simple silhouettes, and a lack of embellishment, so choose furniture and décor that matches this modern look. Natural lighting through hanging lamps and windows will add a clean, cozy ambiance while upholstered furnishings should have tapered legs, track arms, and other simple features. You also don’t need a lot of décor. Unclutter your space and put objects away and out of sight—the result will be a fresh, organized appearance. Less is more, so bring home minimalism for balanced beauty.
The main thing you’ll notice in a Japanese home is how much room there is. Although Japan has a high cost of living and dwellings tend to be on the smaller side, the Japanese are masters at apartment-size living. Conserve space in your room by choosing small-scale furniture or trading larger furniture items for something less bulky. A small sofa, ottoman, or floor cushions are a great alternative to a giant six-piece sectional or overstuffed recliner. Japanese homes also feature a screen called a Shoji, which can be used in the place of heavy drapes or doors in order to separate space and let in natural light.
Light wood furniture, bamboo, and dark finishes are commonly found in Japanese inspired style, so make sure you incorporate them. Bamboo drawer pulls or paneled doors are lovely paired with a sharp black contrasting finis, and light wood furniture such as pine, birch, and cedar will add a natural wood glow for a welcoming look.
Decorate in natural, neutral colors.
Keep your space in touch with Mother Nature by decorating in organic tones. Simple colors from the outside world such as brown, blue, green, white and gray are typically used for wall paint, rugs, throw pillows and upholstery. Simplicity is key when choosing your palette, so don’t detract from using light neutrals to make your space feel calming.
Lastly, make sure you add reminders of nature into your Japanese inspired space. Stone flooring, bamboo or floral patterns, houseplants, and décor like a wall canvas or vase with beautiful Japanese cherry blossoms will add organic beauty and incorporate that designer’s touch so your minimalist space doesn’t seem boring.
It might seem like you need to get a passport to witness the stunning interior design of Japan, but with these simple steps, you can bring zen home to stay.

This cute little row home is cozy, inviting and located in the safest neighborhood. It’s a great place to crash after work and cook nice meal. Parking is a breeze and the house is within walking distance to Hopkins Homewood Campus, local bars and restaurants. Want to head downtown for a conference- No problem- it's a 15 min (max) car ride to downtown Baltimore. There are two cats that live here and are sweet as could be. The house has an excellent old school charm but with a modern clean finish.
Not safe or suitable for children (0-12) and pets - There are stairs from the second to third floor with no way to child proof them.
Hi I'm Kelsey! I'm an outgoing, respectful, working professional. I love to be outside hiking or riding my bike around town. Favorite place I've traveled: Kyoto, Japan.

Thermal insulation in buildings is an important factor for achieving comfort for occupants. Insulation implemented by a specialist company can reduce unwanted heat loss (or gain) and decrease the energy demands of heating and cooling systems. Insulation refers not only to the materials employed to slow heat loss but to the designs and techniques used to address the main modes of heat transfer, such as conduction, radiation and convection.
If you’re looking for a company that specialises in thermal insulation in the UK, take a closer look at P&H Services. P&H Services has been providing thermal insulation services to clients throughout Wales and England for many years and has an excellent reputation in the field.

This is where I ate dessert a few days ago.
Finally, finally there’s a decent marvelous cupcake store in the South Bay area! You see, there aren’t that many cupcakeries in my area to begin with, and those that I have tried I’ve only liked, but my taste buds haven’t necessarily craved more of those fine desserts since they weren’t very memorable…that is until I made my way into Cuppies, a newly opened store in the city of Torrance. Yay!
While the decorum in this place is rather simple aside from their ultra bright pink walls, the atmosphere is welcoming because of the friendly employees and happy feel that it gives the customer. Now all they need is to provide their customers with some tables and seats so that I can spend my moment of cupcake indulgence relaxing in this cute little space. It takes a lot of concentration to review and indulge in some dessert, you know?
When I asked the woman behind the counter what their popular flavors are, she told me that most people tend to love their Hot Cakes ‘n Bacon cupcake. Doesn’t that sound crazy interesting?! Well, I wasn’t in the mood to try a bacon concoction since I’m not a big fan of bacon anyway, and as usual my eyes quickly led me to the lemon flavored cupcake. I always seem to fall back on the lemon version whenever I try a new place since it happens to be my favorite flavor, and it is never too sweet that I can’t take more than one or two bites. Ahem, I’m talking to YOU Red Velvet!
This cake is actually called the Lemon and White Chocolate, and dare I say that it was one of the best cupcakes I’ve ever had?!!!!!!!!!!
The frosting to cake ratio is 1:1 so it’s perfect, because I don’t like it when they skimp out on either one as I like it to stay even till the very last bite. The frosting is perfectly sweet with a refreshing zest, and the bread was absolutely moist and heavenly. I’m afraid that I’ve found my new hang-out spot, although I do have a problem with that because of my diminishing wallet and (hopefully not) expanding waistline.
So why am I telling you this story/review about one of the best cupcakes in the world?
Because this morning I found myself wanting yet another lemony dessert or breakfast. Or…dessert FOR breakfast? Hm, not sure.
I scoured through my crowded fridge and found no lemons. But I found some luscious and sweet oranges, score!
If a GF recipe works, then it can definitely be customized with regular flour. This leaves room for anyone to try the recipes and enjoy them.
This recipe may be customized by using only oat flour or regular white flour. Anything conventional goes! If the recipe is halved, then it would be a good idea to scramble the egg in a small bowl and pour in only half of it instead of using only egg whites or egg yolk.
Grab a medium bowl and combine the flours, baking soda and baking powder together. Melt the coconut oil and add it to the flour mixture and whisk. It might be a bit crumbly but that’s okay.
Add the egg, water, vanilla, syrup, and then the juice, zest, and yogurt last. This keeps the acidic reaction from acting too quickly.
Heat a skillet or pan on medium heat and spray with oil, let it warm up a bit. Pour a little less than 1/4 C of batter onto the pan and when it starts to bubble you may flip the pancake. Cook for almost 1 minute on each side. Transfer to a plate.
Grab a small bowl and mix all of the cream ingredients together, then spoon it on top of the pancakes or drizzle it with a sandwich bag that you’ve snipped off at the tip if you want to be fancy.
I had some more coconut cream left and was looking forward to eating it with a bowl of oats some other time, but it was so flavorful and perfectly sweet that I finished all of it. Oops.
Cupcake craving, kind of satisfied. I mean really, cupcakes and breakfast pancakes are still on a different ball game. Zesty and refreshing ‘frosting’ craving? I think I’ll be good for today!
Do you have a favorite cupcake flavor? A favorite cupcake store?
Are you a fan of unique pancakes, or do you prefer the plain buttermilk kind?
-I like all of them but I can only stomach so much of the original kind. These are a different story.

It was few months ago, I was invited for South Asia MVP Openday, Bangalore. Followed to it I booked the flight as I had to be there, as this was the first time for me and as someone has said "Never miss the start.... :)".
Since then I was picturizing about what exactly shall happen in Open Day (will it be like those in school days?), even my collegues, friends were curious to get answer to the same question. No idea about what was the agenda, even the event venue was not revealed, that was adding to the curosity build up.
Upon landing at Bangalore met few fellow MVP's (even though many of us were connected on linkedin and facebook, we had to introduce ourselves to each other -that made me smile, don't know why). There we met the travel manager who was responsible to make sure we reach the venue safely and on time (even the travel manager didn't reveal the secret(the venue)- all were promptly instructed by Biplab and Gandharv). But the fun part was, driver wasn't instructed, and we did it - we got to know the venue - Royal Orchid Resorts, Yelanka, Bangalore.After a drive of around 40-45 min, we reached the final destination and there we met the two men who were responsible for all this - BipLab Paul and Gandharv.
We were welcomed with a refreshment drink, and were informed about the plan of action for next two days.
and did answer all the question to our satisfaction except one, why there are less number of female MVP's :) .
Among the rest sessions, most of them were intended to give us the insights and future plans of Microsoft around the various technologies, following with questions/answers and feedback on the same. No more I can say on this as I might violate the NDA (Non Disclosure agreement).
2. To get more you need to hit the More button ( More, F1, Advanced section etc.).
The other session was by Pramila Matthew, Staying ahead of the curve. Everyone was totally engrossed and involved right from the start till the end of session. We were on our feet and clapping for her as she concluded, she very humbly accepted it. For me she is the real epitome of determination, inspiration, focus, optimism etc. Take away from her session are many but in one sentence "You just need believe in your self and nothing shall hold back you".
No it wasn't all sessions, there were fun activities too. Biplab and Gandharv very well planned the event so that we(the MVP's) get time to interact with each other and socialize. It was the dinner party after the first day sessions with Ethnic theme, allowed us to mingle. It was very interesting and great to experience the profoundness of all, they are just brilliant.
Last to Mention but not least, you can't do well if you are not healthy - yes there was yoga sessions too instructed by fellow MVP Vijay Agarwal.
Being an Integration MVP, I wanted to have something related to BizTalk Server. It was sweet surprise to meet Abhishek Kumar who is recently awarded as MVP, we did share some insights about and around BizTalk.
So was my expectations met? - No , it was more than expected, with back to back sessions and fun activities in between, wonderful and truly learning experience it was MVP open day 2015 so far with so many moments to cherish !!!!!

The Hamas terrorist group on Monday warned Israel of “dangerous consequences” over its fresh restrictions at a commercial crossing with the Gaza Strip, as the administrators of the Rafah passage linking Egypt to the Palestinian enclave announced its crossing would also be shuttered in both directions on Tuesday.
“The Israeli occupation’s closure of the Kerem Shalom crossing and depriving Gaza from the most simple necessities of life is a crime against humanity that will be added to its list of crimes at the expense of the Palestinian people including those living in the Strip,” said Hamas spokesperson Fawzi Barhoum in a statement posted on the organization’s official website.
“These vengeful measures reflect the degree of the oppression and the ugliness of the crime that Gaza is facing, that will have dangerous consequences for which the occupation will bear full responsibility,” the terrorist group said. The statement came as officials manning the Rafah crossing announced it will not be operating Tuesday in both directions, according to the Hamas-linked Palestinian Information Center. No reason was given for the closure of the crossing into Egypt, which has been open since late May.
Earlier on Monday, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman’s office said Israel will further limit the flow of goods into the Gaza Strip in response to the continued airborne arson attacks emanating from the coastal enclave.
Between Tuesday and Sunday, no fuel will enter Gaza through the Kerem Shalom. The entry of food and medicine will continue, but will require explicit permission from Israel. Additionally, Gaza fishermen will only be allowed to venture three kilometers (1.8 miles) into the Mediterranean Sea, down from the current six kilometers (3.7 miles).

Next up for us is South Africa! I'm not sure what to expect of Africa (and that nonstop 18 hour flight!), many say that its the most beautiful place on earth but others say that its a little scary so I have mixed feelings on it. I know that I'm so excited to be on honeymoon with my hubby, and I'm even a little more excited that some of the lodges that we're staying at have no cell phone service, no wifi, and no tv's (ssshhhhhh don't tell Adam I'm excited about this!). I think this is the one time in our lives where we deserve to really disconnect from the world and truly enjoy the company of each other while being surrounded by nature.
If anyone has suggestions on how to keep yourself occupied on a long haul flight, pleases let me know!
I hope that you enjoy the last of my pics from Italy. It was by far the best experience of my life.

The SIP Cluster deployment must be set up and provisioned according to Deploying SIP Cluster prior to deploying Historical Reporting components. The Historical Reporting components themselves must be deployed per recommendations in this article and following the procedure described in Enabling Historical Reporting.
One Interaction Concentrator instance (or HA pair) must be deployed per SIP Cluster node.
One Interaction Concentrator instance (or HA pair) must be deployed per VQ SIP Server (or HA pair of VQ SIP Servers).
One Interaction Concentrator instance (or HA pair) must be deployed per data center, to collect configuration details from Configuration Server Proxy.
One Interaction Concentrator instance (or HA pair) must be deployed per OCS instance, to store Outbound details.
One Genesys Info Mart instance must be deployed to extract data from all Interaction Databases (IDBs) in the SIP Cluster deployment.
Two SIP Server Application objects must be created per SIP Server running in Cluster mode, as described in Configuring SIP Servers for Historical Reporting, to enable ICON connections to the two different SIP Server ports. See also User Data, below.
Data processing logic that is specific to a Cluster environment accommodates independent processing of call data and agent activity data coming from different SIP Servers for the same voice interaction. This processing results in a number of noteworthy differences in the types of data that Interaction Concentrator produces and stores in IDB, as listed in “Table Fields That Differ in a Cluster Environment,” below. Most importantly, the G_PARTY table does not contain the agent ID value. Additionally, the value for the PartyID has a different format and is calculated differently than in a non-Cluster environment.
Most of the Info Mart tables and views are populated similarly in Cluster and non-Cluster environments. The Info Mart data differences in a Cluster environment result from differences in IDB data. Some dimensions (such as RESOURCE_) are populated during transformation of the voice or agent-related data while some others might be not populated at all (such as PLACE). As a result, only a subset of DN-based metrics is available in a Cluster environment.
The following subsections provide more details about the populated data. For illustration purposes, it is assumed that the T-Servers in the environment are a mix of SIP Servers that operate in Cluster mode and either non-Cluster SIP Servers or traditional T-Servers.
Global Interaction Database (GIDB) is the part of the Info Mart database that is designed to keep all records that are extracted from various IDBs. As such, the GIDB data that is available in the Cluster environment reflects the changes in the corresponding IDB data. See Data Differences in IDB, above.
The resource-related tables and views are populated as described below.
Population of the RESOURCE_ table differs with regard to SIP Cluster resources (endpoint DNs). When Genesys Info Mart encounters SIP Cluster resources during voice or agent-state transformation, the transformation job creates resource records "on the fly."
For IVR applications that are not represented in the Configuration Layer (that is, whose configuration type equals 0), records are created based on the voice and agent-related data. Genesys Info Mart continues to identify them by the combination of the RESOURCE_NAME and TENANT_KEY.
For the resources controlled by SIP Servers operating in Cluster mode, records are created based on the voice and agent-related data. Genesys Info Mart identifies them by the combination of RESOURCE_NAME and SWITCH_DBID.
When it creates the RESOURCE_ record, Genesys Info Mart generates an internal ID to populate the RESOURCE_CFG_DBID field. The RESOURCE_CFG_TYPE_ID field is then set to 0 (zero).
For any other resources (such as agents, queues, Routing Points, etc.), records are created based on the configuration data. Genesys Info Mart continues to identify them by the combination of configuration type and DBID (stored in the RESOURCE_CFG_TYPE_ID and RESOURCE_CFG_DBID in the RESOURCE_ table).
The GROUP_TO_CAMPAIGN_FACT table is populated based on the data from the Configuration detail IDB. In an environment where Genesys Outbound Contact is deployed, this table contains records for campaign groups, which are configured as agent groups in the Configuration Layer.
The data in the GROUP view reflects the groups of DNs and agents as configured in the Configuration Layer.
With Place objects not being configured in a Cluster environment, the Place-related table and view are populated as described below.
The PLACE_GROUP_FACT table contains records only if Place objects are configured in the Configuration Layer. With the absence of Place objects in a Cluster environment, this table might not contain any data.
The data in the PLACE view contains records only if Place objects are configured in the Configuration Layer. With the absence of Place objects in a Cluster environment, this view might not contain any data.
For the purposes of Historical Reporting, user data configuration and processing do not differ in a Cluster environment. However, to enable Genesys Info Mart to extract user data from both I-Proxy and T-Controller channels, ICON application requires a connection configured to a special (dummy) SIP Server application that specifies connection parameters of the T-Controller.

A medical marijuana dispensary that opened Saturday in Vancouver, British Columbia, is the sixth in the city, its owner says.
Six volunteers operate the Imedikate Medical Cannabis Dispensary, which already has 60 regular patients, the Vancouver Sun reported Monday.
The new dispensary is the first in south Vancouver.
“It’s about being open. We want to destigmatize marijuana use,” said Imedikate director Jacob Hunter.
“[Patients] feel judged. What we’re trying to do here is bring it out in the open and show that medical marijuana is just another type of medication,” he said.
Patients must bring proof of a serious illness or a recommendation from a doctor for marijuana to be dispensed.
“It’s not like someone can walk in and walk out with marijuana unless they’re seriously ill,” Hunter said.
A doctor would be available to assess people whose family doctor was not supportive of such treatment, he said.
Hunter said the shops operate “on the edge of the legislative law” because Health Canada refuses to issue a dispensary license, but the country’s judiciary has ruled people have a right to medical marijuana.
A new medical marijuana dispensary in South Vancouver is the city’s first to offer an in-house doctor who can recommend the drug for those in need.
The Imedikate dispensary, at 6128 Fraser St., officially opened Sunday, and offers marijuana from licensed growers to those with illnesses, such as HIV/AIDS, cancer and multiple sclerosis.
“So many patients I meet tell me that even with a horrific or life-threatening condition … they are unable to find a supportive doctor,” said dispensary director Jacob Hunter.
If that’s the case, Imedikate’s in-house physician can recommend for them, as long as they have medical proof of a qualifying illness.
“We just realize how much need there is out there,” he said.
Neighbours have also expressed plenty of support for the dispensary.
It is the sixth dispensary to open in Vancouver proper.
– Article from 24 Hours.
For the past month, a small, nondescript storefront in south Vancouver has been quietly dispensing medical marijuana to those who need it.
The Imedikate Medical Cannabis Dispensary, at 6128 Fraser St., celebrated a soft opening Saturday, marking the sixth such dispensary in the city and the first in south Vancouver.
The shop — an outer office leading into a backroom, where patients can follow the sign on the counter to “stoner way” to access a vaporizer and some big comfy leather couches — already caters to 60 regular members.
About six volunteers operate the centre, which will distribute marijuana to seriously ill patients who would benefit from its use.
Patients must bring proof of illness or a recommendation from a doctor for marijuana to be dispensed.
“It’s not like someone can walk in and walk out with marijuana, unless they’re seriously ill,” Hunter said.
In cases where an individual’s family doctor is not supportive of such treatment, a doctor would be available to assess them, said Hunter. He noted that many people, especially those who are older, are loath to try medical marijuana for fear their friends will find out, while some doctors refuse to prescribe it.
Hunter said the shop is being run “on the edge of the legislative law,” as Health Canada refuses to issue a dispensary license but the judiciary has ruled that people have a right to medical marijuana.
The director of a new medical marijuana dispensary in South Vancouver says the community has welcomed his business with open arms.
Jacob Hunter says the Imedikate Medical Cannabis Dispensary at 6128 Fraser Street has been “working out kinks” for about four weeks, and is fully prepared to serve the neighbourhood’s unwell.
“We expect that many of the patients who were pre-existing in this community, who were probably purchasing from the street, will be able to come above board and purchase their medicine legally in a safe environment,” he said.
Hunter says police were alerted about the opening and responded only by asking employees to be cautious to avoid break-ins and thefts. There are bars on the windows, an alarm system and a safe to secure the pot, Hunter said.
There are five other dispensaries in the city, but Imedikate is the only one with an in-house doctor. Hunter says a physician spends between two and four hours per week at the office to assess patients whose regular doctors do not support medical marijuana.
A common misconception is that doctors can write prescriptions for medical marijuana. Hunter says all potential clients need is written confirmation of a medical condition.
By Saturday night, the dispensary had about 60 members – just a drop in the bucket of the 10,000 medical marijuana customers Hunter says exist in the city.
Vancouver’s latest medical marijuana dispensary will open today on Fraser Street.
The Imedikate Medical Cannabis Dispensary, at 6128 Fraser St., is the sixth such dispensary in the city and the first in south Vancouver.
The dispensary will distribute marijuana to patients whose serious illness would benefit from its use.
Patients must bring proof of serious illness or a recommendation from a doctor for marijuana to be dispensed.
Imedikate director Jacob Hunter said a physician would be available to assess individuals whose family doctor was not supportive of such treatment but who might benefit from it.
A new medicinal marijuana dispensary is set to open tomorrow (January 8) in South Vancouver.
The Imedikate Cannabis Dispensary, located at 6128 Fraser Street, will provide pot to patients with such serious medical conditions as cancer, arthritis, and HIV/AIDS.
Clients must provide proof of illness or a doctor’s recommendation to obtain pot from the dispensary.
Imedikate will also have an in-house doctor to evaluate applicants who can’t find a supportive medical practitioner, says a news release from the non-profit group.
There are five other medicinal cannabis dispensaries already operating in Vancouver.

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is a fast-moving field. When Flight Safety Australia first covered the subject in 2015, Airbus had just announced their first 3D printed part—there are now more than 1000 3D printed components on the Airbus A350.
Additive manufacturing creates objects by building up materials, layer by layer. This incremental process allows for the creation of objects with extremely complex structures, some of which cannot be built using traditional methods.
Engineering &Technology magazine reports the global market for 3D printing is expected to increase from a 2013 figure of $A4.1 billion to $A17.1 billion by 2018, and exceeding $A28 billion by 2020. The magazine reported that aerospace accounted for around 15 per cent of the additive manufacturing global market in 2016.
In February 2017, Airbus installed an additive manufacturing machine at a production site in France to 3D print titanium aircraft structural parts. The Sciaky Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM) machine can make parts up to 1778 mm x 1194 mm x 1600 mm. Sciaky machines can produce parts ranging from 200 mm to 5.8 metres in length and can deposit up to 9 kg of metal per hour.
In December 2016 the CFM LEAP-1C jet engine was certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Association (EASA). The LEAP engine has 3D printed fuel nozzles and its maker CFM says it promises a 15 per cent reduction in fuel burn over current high-bypass turbofans.
In December 2016 Melbourne-based start-up Amaero Engineering and its research partner Monash University signed an agreement with global aerospace and defence company Safran to print jet engine components at the Safran factory in Toulouse, France.
In September 2016 General Electric bought a 75 per cent stake in two European machine manufacturers for $US 1.4 billion: Swedish company Arcam and Concept Laser of Germany. This has ‘put additive manufacturing with metals into the mainstream of manufacturing’, Brandt says.
Additive manufacturing is demonstrating potential for weight saving with no compromise in strength. Vice President of Aerospace & Defence at Dassault Systèmes, Michel Tellier, told E&T ‘the weight of an optimised additive manufactured part can be in the range of 50 to 80 per cent lighter than the equivalent machined component it replaces’.
This is already happening in bicycle manufacturing. Bicycle and aircraft engineering have a long-standing affinity, and a similar interest in combining lightness, strength and durability despite their products being at the opposite end of the speed spectrum. In 2016, small-scale bike maker Empire Cycles of Bolton, in northern England, developed a 3D printed titanium mountain bike frame that was 33 per cent lighter than the welded aluminum alloy version. One part of the frame, the seat post mounting bracket, was 44 per cent lighter and withstood 50,000 test cycles at 1200 newtons. Its combination of lightness and strength came from the 3D printing process enabled ‘topological optimisation’, that allowed the designers to remove material from low-stress areas and reinforce high-stressed areas.
Brandt says titanium is emerging as a metal particularly suited to additive manufacturing. Its combination of cost, strength, lightness and suitability to the additive process was unmatched.
‘You’re also looking at developments in materials, better metal powders now, with less porosity and more consistently spherical. This is leading to better-quality products coming off the machines, particularly in terms of strength and fatigue. RMIT is developing an additive manufacturing process that could end the need for heat treating titanium parts made by additive manufacturing, and ensure higher quality and greater consistency,’ he says. The new process cannot only optimise the overall strength of the part, as heat treating does, but enables material strength to be highest in high-load sections of a component.
In August 2016 the European Union issued the final report of its RepAIR (Future RepAIR and Maintenance for Aerospace industry) project, a three-year initiative to study how additive manufacturing could be encouraged in aerospace. ‘The main objective of RepAIR is to shift the make-or-buy decision towards the “make” decision by reducing the cost of remaking and repairing spare parts, resulting in more efficient maintenance operations,’ the project’s front page says.
The RepAIR report anticipates shortening the spare parts supply chain to sending an e-mail to an additive manufacturing facility that will make a part, instead of selecting it from a warehouse where it may have sat for many years.
‘As only the raw material needs to be stored, instead of having to have in stock up to 3.6 million spare parts for the multitude of aeroplanes and varieties of aircraft manufacturers, less capital is locked up. Additionally, hardly any energy-intensive produced raw material will be wasted or destroyed, but will be used optimally,’ RepAIR says.
The report predicts the costs of complex spare parts could reduce by 30 per cent and the turnaround time by 20 per cent through the use of a combination of innovative technologies.

Isn’t it disappointing how simplistic and one-dimensional today’s female characters in films have become, particularly in action-oriented films? And I don’t just mean the heroines, although they are often severely lacking in flaws and character development themselves. But no, today I want to talk about the villains – or villainesses as it were. It’s these women who shape the conflict of the story. And too often they are short changed, given little thought and weak motivation, and forced to play one mode all the time – outright evil.
What ever happened to the old classic villainesses, the quintessential antagonistic characters of old movies like All About Eve who smiled so sweetly and behaved so innocently, until you caught a glimpse of her true conniving character, her plotting, her scheming. It was more exciting to see her fangs come out only those rare occasions, when she’s truly pushed to the edge. Because that means that she has one – an edge. She has a limit that she can be pushed to, just like the rest of us.
Even the villains have a reason for what they’re doing. Even they deserve to have their story told. And the best villains are the ones that some small part of us can relate to, can understand, and in the rarest moments when they reveal their vulnerability, we may even root for. Those are the more interesting villains, to play and to watch. And they’ve sadly all but disappeared from mainstream cinema, particularly in the action genre where they are so important and needed now more than ever.
So where have all the great villains and villainesses gone? Where are the messed-up, spiteful, and confused characters that shine a light on the darker parts of ourselves? We need them to feel whole as human beings, to understand and accept our own evils and anger within us, watch that battle play out on screen instead of inside ourselves. And the heroes of the stories need them to reflect the other side of themselves, and give them something to fight for. It’s actually quite healthy and therapeutic, and it’s what makes great films.
So come on you writers, directors, producers, filmmakers – let’s give these villains a bit more of ourselves and our creative efforts, shall we? Let’s give voice to the villains in us, and make some freaking great movies at the same time!
Plus, if you could make them female, then more power to you! And that means more power to those Tough Cookies who will play that part of the antagonist in your story.

The 49ers limped to the finish line as a beleaguered 5-11 bunch. It ultimately cost first-year coach Jim Tomsula his job. There were games in which the 49ers were booed off their Levi’s Stadium turf. Booing from the home crowd was foreign, too.
Armstead had the recognition of being the 49ers’ first-round pick last spring. But such an honor can be a burden.No one expected the 6-foot-7, 300-pounder to be the missing piece to a Super Bowl championship like a modern-day Fred Dean or Charles Haley. He was expected to contribute, and he did, grading out favorably as a player with length, strength and agility.
Armstead expects more of himself. He’ll dedicate the offseason to getting healthy – he endured myriad bumps and bruises – and getting stronger and faster. He will work out with his father, Guss, a noted area strength and conditioning coach.
“I want to get better at everything, and I need to get better at everything,” said Armstead, who was credited with two sacks this season. “Better at being a pass rusher, better at learning schemes, learning the opponent. That’s the best way to be effective is to know everything your opponent is doing. Football is so fun because there’s a never-ending knowledge part to it. If you apply yourself, you will learn and find out so much of this game.
Armstead said he liked Tomsula and appreciated the coach’s knowledge of the trenches. Tomsula was a longtime 49ers defensive-line coach before sliding over to the head-coaching role last winter after Jim Harbaugh and the team parted ways.
“He’s a good coach, a good guy,” Armstead said of Tomsula. “I liked him since the day I met him, when we didn’t even talk football. Talked about all kinds of things, just chillin’ and getting to know each other. We had a good relationship.
As for why Tomsula lasted just one season as head coach, Armstead, the pass rusher, took a pass.
A year ago, Armstead had limited control of his future. He had no idea where he’d play or be drafted. He went from a strong showing for Oregon in the national championship game, although the Ducks lost to Ohio State, to a whirlwind of offseason conditioning, the draft combine, the draft, then training camp.
Armstead said he and his 49ers teammates are excited about the future.
Arik Armstead and his parents get a tour of the 49ers Museum at Levi Stadium in San Francisco, California, on Friday, May 1, 2015, a day after Armstead was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers. Video by Matt Barrows.

Chicago, IL (UroToday.com) Results from several prospective trials have led to neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical cystectomy being considered the gold-standard treatment for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC)1 2.
In a meta-analysis of 886 patients analyzed after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical cystectomy, the pathological complete response rate was 28.6%, leading to a relative risk for OS of 0.45 (95%CI 0.36-0.56) compared to those that did not achieve complete response3. However, data from 19 centers outside of a clinical trial suggested that pathologic complete response rates may lower in the real-world setting (23.9-24.5%) compared to clinical trials 4. As such, the full benefit of neoadjuvant therapy may not be captured via pathologic complete response rates.
Marco Bandini and colleagues presented results of their study assessing improved relapse-free survival (RFS) as a novel mechanism for identifying patients with optimal benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
The authors used a multi-institutional cohort to identify 950 patients (1990-2016) with cT2-4N0 bladder urothelial carcinoma from 27 centers in the U.S., Europe, Israel, and Canada. A Cox-based nomogram was used to predict 12 month RFS, using gender, race, tumor characteristics (histology, pT, pN and surgical margin status), and administration of neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy in the model. For the model, multiple imputation was performed to handle missing data, and validation (2000 bootstrap resamples) was internally tested. Finally, calibration and prognostic ability were assessed comparing estimated versus observed 12 month RFS.
There were 577 (59.3%) patients with cT2 disease and 236 (24.3%) patients with cT3-T4 disease. T-stage was unknown for 160 (16.4%) patients and thus imputated. In this cohort, 125 (12.8%) patients had mixed urothelial carcinoma and other histologies, 275 (28.3%) patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and 165 (17%) patients received adjuvant chemotherapy.
Overall, 405 (41.6%) patients relapsed and 375 (38.5%) patients died, with a median RFS of 44 months (95%CI 36-65) and median OS of 57 months (95%CI 50-90). On multivariable analyses, increasing pT stage (p < 0.002), increasing pN sage (p < 0.001) and positive surgical margin status (vs negative; HR 1.66, 95%CI 1.21-2.30) were associated with higher rate of recurrence.
Interestingly, use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy was associated with lower risk of recurrence on univariable analysis (HR 0.74, 95%CI 0.59-0.94), however, this association was not significant on multivariable analysis (p=0.6).
Among patients receiving perioperative chemotherapy, nomogram-predicted 12 month RFS rates were 91.6% (95%CI 87-96), 79.7% (95%CI 73-88), and 53.0% (95%CI 44-63), across the nomogram-derived tertiles. However, for patients who did not receive perioperative chemotherapy, these estimates were lower at 89.8%, 74.8%, and 47.0%, respectively. The final bootstrapped c-index of the nomogram was 78% (95%CI 74-81).
Continuing to provide new meaningful and rationale endpoints for clinical trial design is important. Based on the results presented by Marco Bandini, RFS appears to be a reasonable and evaluable endpoint and as he suggests: nomogram-predicted 12 month RFS rates may provide data to base future clinical trial designs of novel agents in the perioperative setting.
