Oakland Athletics catcher Bruce Maxwell became the first Major League Baseball player to kneel during the pregame playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" when he dropped to a knee prior to Oakland's game against the Texas Rangers Saturday night. Maxwell's teammates stood in a line next to him. Teammate Mark Canha, who is white, put his right hand on one of Maxwell's shoulders. The Athletics released a statement on Twitter shortly after the anthem, saying they "respect and support all of our players' constitutional rights and freedom of expression." Maxwell's protest comes after President Donald Trump denounced protests by NFL players and rescinded a White House invitation for NBA champion Stephen Curry in a two-day rant that targeted top professional athletes.

Despite a great location, the Hua Hin condo market hasn’t performed as well as other parts of Thailand during the past few years. However, the situation began to turn around in 2018. Knight Frank Thailand reports that some positive signs were seen during the first three quarters of last year. A total of 1,041 new condominium units came online during this time, skyrocketing 164 percent when compared to the same period in 2017. The new supply is situated in central Hua Hin as opposed to more suburban locations. This highlights how developers have learned from prior mistakes. One of the reasons for the Hua Hin condo market slowdown was due to product types that didn’t resonate with buyers. According to Knight Frank, homebuilders focused on finding ways to blend functionality with the ambiance of the resort destination. This ensured more developments appealed to buyers. The Hua Hin condo market also benefited from commercial flights flying to the city for the very first time. Air Asia now operates regular air service between Hua Hin and Kuala Lumpur which brought more people to the seaside town in 2018. Knight Frank noted that Thais buyers searching for vacation homes or investment units to let out still make up the majority buyers. Expat retirees and overseas investors also active in Hua Hin. The Hua Hin condo market is recovering, but villas in the city have remained popular with buyers. By offering more space and peaceful surroundings, Hua Hin villas are ideal for families wanting a place to get away from everyday life. Red Mountain, winner of Best Villa Development Hua Hin at the Dot Property Thailand Awards 2018, is one of the many projects catering to those who want a break from city life. The development boasts modern-designed homes with quality finishes, fabulous mountain views, a lake and water features. One popular characteristic of Red Mountain is the large, old trees that have been kept in the land. They help maintain the natural environment and beauty of the area. This ensures residents feel close to the natural surroundings that Hua Hin is known for. Another villa development popular with buyers is Sivana HideAway. The estate is one of a small number Hua Hin villa developments near the sea making it very unique. Residents can enjoy style and comfort while also being a short drive from the Hua Hin city centre. For investors, there is a chance for both lucrative returns as well as personal usage during the year. The developer is offering a six percent rental guarantee for five years for those who opt into the rental management programme along with 30 days of personal use annually.

The jig you see below is required to build the various tail sections. It is built from plans. There is nothing special about it really. 4x4 vertical posts bolted to the floor and ceiling and a 4x4 horizontal cross piece to hold the tail pieces. Getting this plumb and level is no small task, particularly due to unevenness in the wood, floor and ceiling. Be sure to use clear fur, or other well dried wood product to minimize warpage. The piece spanning the jig in this picture is the horizontal stabilizer frame. Ready for skins to be slipped on, drilled, cleco'd, and riveted. Between the two vertical posts is a string holding a plumb bob used for alignment. BTW, 4x4's are not required, I used 2x4's screwed together to make a 4x4. The most difficult task here was getting the right distance between the vertical studs and getting them situated to bolt into studs in the ceiling, accounting for the garage door that needs to open. Here you see the skin on, clecoe'd, and the plumb bob hanging down for a perfect, no warp, setup.

Remember back when Brock Osweiler was benched last year for being the worst at everything, ever? Then (in a preview of years to come) backup Tom Savage got a concussion in their week 17 beatdown by the Titans? Brock finished the game with all of the gutsy championship mentality that ends up in your team having to package a 2nd round pick just to get you out of town. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Savage became very upset, knocking things around in the locker room and otherwise making a ruckus about having his status jeopardized by a doctor’s decision to keep him from playing. At or about the same time, coach Bill O’Brien informed Osweiler that he’d be finishing the game. Osweiler, per the source, reacted negatively, telling O’Brien in the visiting coach’s office at Nissan Stadium in Nashville that he’s only playing Osweiler because O’Brien needs him. [Editor’s note: That’s sort of how football depth charts work.] An argument ensued, voices were raised. At one point, it’s believed that Osweiler got up to walk away and O’Brien threw out an arm to stop him. That prompted Osweiler to act as if he were being “held hostage,” a claim that he would repeat (per the source) in the days after the game. That's right folks: Brock robbed the Texans for $16 Million last year, then had a diva meltdown when asked to play football. I mean, at least when VY flipped out it was because he lost or got benched. I would have killed to see JJ Watt be in the locker room for this incident. Alas, reports are that he was busy faking an injury so he could start building Trump's border wall with his bare hands.

Moore: Drug take-back caprice | Greenspirit Strategies Ltd. An even smaller portion – 10 percent – of detectable trace elements in wastewater are the result of consumers flushing unused prescriptions down the toilet. (1) Detecting minute trace pharmaceutical compounds in wastewater does not mean you’ve identified a problem – or even the risk of a problem. Obviously, we should not indiscriminately send toxic waste into the environment, yet our detection methods have become so sophisticated that low levels of nearly everything are going to be found nearly everywhere. A take-back approach to eliminate such low levels will be enormously costly, difficult to manage, and offer no added benefit to human health or safety. (2) A take-back program will likely result in increased greenhouse gas emissions from the additional infrastructure and transportation needs the program will require – all for a new program that, if past take-back subscription rates are any indicator, will be used by only a small fraction of the public. I subscribe to the old scientific maxim that the difference between a medicine and a poison is in the dose. While in recent years we have drastically increased – from parts per thousands to parts per million, and currently parts per trillion – our ability to detect human-introduced compounds in the environment, it is still important to place things in perspective, recognizing that the poison is in the dose.

Florida workers’ compensation law make death benefit payments available to the deceased employee’s family. Eligible Florida workers’ compensation death benefit payment recipients include the decedent’s spouse, children, parents, siblings, or grandchildren. If your family suffered the unfortunate loss of a loved one in the course of their occupational duties, contact a qualified Orlando workers’ compensation attorney to learn about how to reclaim benefits. Under Florida workers’ compensation laws, the families of workers killed in a workplace accident or who succumb to their injuries within one year of the accident are eligible to receive death benefits. If the worker’s death follows after continuous disability within five years of the injury, the family may also be eligible for benefits. Florida workers’ compensation death benefits entitle the family to funeral expenses of up to $7,500. These benefits must be paid to the family within 14 days receiving a bill for the actual funeral expenses. Additionally, family members of the deceased worker are eligible to part of the employee’s future lost wages, up to $150,000. Florida law allows family members to recover up to 66.6 percent of their loved one’s income for a maximum of $150,000 in death payments. This is the maximum amount and may be less, depending on the circumstances of the decedent’s passing. For this reason, it is strongly encouraged family members retain an Orlando workers’ compensation attorney to help maximize their potential benefits. The payment rate for death benefits depends on which family members are eligible to receive the payments. Spouses with no children may receive up to 50 percent of the deceased’s weekly pay. Furthermore, spouses may be eligible to receive compensation to pay for post-secondary education courses to help them learn new job skills. In the event the deceased and their spouse had children, an additional 16.6 percent of the weekly pay may be allotted. Should the deceased worker have surviving children but no spouse, the children may be entitled to up to 33.3 percent of the deceased’s weekly pay. If the deceased has no children or spouse, their parents may receive 25 percent of the lost weekly income. In situations where the deceased is survived by only siblings or grandchildren, 15 percent of the lost income may be paid. Although it is the legal right for families to receive workers’ compensation death benefits, employers and their powerful workers’ compensation insurance providers may often attempt to skirt responsibility to fulfill their obligations. Insurance companies will often blame the victim’s untimely passing on their own negligence or claim the injury was not work-related. Hiring an Orlando workers’ compensation attorney from the onset of you case can help clarify Florida statutes and let the insurance companies know you and your family are adamant about getting the compensation you need.

Two Yale faculty members — William Nordhaus and Vesla M. Weaver — are among 33 scholars awarded fellowships from the Carnegie Corporation of New York to advance research in social sciences and humanities. Nordhaus has authored many books, among them “The Efficient Use of Energy Resources,” “Reforming Federal Regulation,” “Managing the Global Commons,” “Warming the World” and (with Paul Samuelson) the classic textbook “Economics,” whose 19th edition was published in 2009. His book on economic modeling of climate change, “A Question of Balance,” was selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title of 2008. His most recent book, “The Climate Casino: Risk, Uncertainty, and Economics for a Warming World,” was published in 2013. The Carnegie Fellowship will fund his research into economic modeling of irreversible and path-dependent processes in climate change. , associate professor of political science and African American studies, is the founding director of the Center for the Study of Inequality at Yale’s Institution for Social and Policy Studies. Her work explores racial inequality in the United States, how state policies shape citizenship, and the political causes and consequences of the growth of the criminal justice system in the United States. Her latest book (with Amy Lerman), “Arresting Citizenship: The Democratic Consequences of American Crime Control,” concerns the effects of increasing punishment and surveillance in America on democratic inclusion, particularly for the black urban poor. Weaver’s proposal for the Carnegie fellowship, titled “The Faces of American Democracy,” will examine the relationship between poor citizens and communities and government in the United States. The project will provide the first systematic study of how Americans in different communities experience government activity across a number of areas, including schools, social welfare agencies, police and probation agencies, civil ordinances, the housing authority, and child protective services.

Recently, lifewire.com released an article explaining websinars are one of the most effective ways to connect with your audience, educate people, confirm sales and make money. Webinars are absolutely everywhere online at the moment but few people know how to plan and execute them really well. Whilst webinars might seem complicated to execute, using a simple methodology with strict deadlines can allow you to create your own webinar cycle that you can put into practice again and again. Here are nine simple steps to show you how to plan and present a successful, engaging webinar that will leave your viewers wanting more. First, you need to decide exactly what your webinar is going to focus on. Keeping it specific is better than having a wide range of information available to your viewers. According to the team at myownconference.com, it’s recommended to start with a simple blueprint which details the main points your webinar will touch upon. Get everything down on paper and then shuffle things around into a coherent order. Try to pack a lot of information in on a specific topic, but in bitesized pieces which can be shared and absorbed quickly. Part of planning your content is also selecting a title that is practical, interesting and informative. It should show potential viewers exactly what you’re going to be talking about and what they can gain from it by attending. The first part of scheduling your webinar is to determine a timeline. If you’re developing your webinar as a side hustle around a full-time job, you need to take that into account when deciding how long the planning and preparation will take you. Also, work out what webinar service you are going to be using and if they offer different slots in multiple time zones. This will all help you determine your timeline for planning and then you can set some dates in stone for you to actually present your webinar. Working out your audience is one of the top things you need to do when preparing for your webinar. Marketing your webinar to the wrong audience can be an instant fail, so think carefully about what you’re offering and what kind of people might be interested in it. After deciding who your target audience is, you need to prepare email marketing campaigns to get the word out and set your registration and email list goals. Using an aesthetically pleasing powerpoint is imperative when creating a successful webinar. Keep the textual content on the powerpoint to a minimum, using bullet points as a display and a guide for the reader whilst they are listening to the audio explanation. Studies have shown that 30 – 40 seconds is the longest time period you should keep one slide on the screen, so if you have a lot to say on one particular topic, keep the slides moving as you do so. Audio speech during a webinar is what gives us the bulk of our information, it gives us explanations into visual flowcharts, diagrams and generally gives us more information but keep it brief. Your notes should be concise and allow no time for waffling. Make sure you work in elements of audience participation to your webinar, tell your viewers you want them to get involved, answer brief questions in the comment section and get them engaged and chatting. One strong aspect of webinars is to offer a free document that viewers can download once they finish the webinar, this will keep them engaged and looking forward to the free material at the end. You should have a well-designed registration landing page for viewers to sign up. This page should be shared to your pre-built email list and on social media. Once you kick off registration, track your metrics on a daily basis to make sure you’re on top of your goals. If you’re not, adjust your marketing techniques. When rehearsing, take into account the time it takes for slide transitions or videos within your webinar, as well as time for audience to respond if you are using audience participation techniques such as asking them to answer a question in the comments section. It’s time to put all of your hard work into practice, remembering to stick to your script and include everything you need to. As you get to the end of your webinar, remember to round things off by promoting a paid service or product that you hope to convert to a sale. Finally, send a thank-you email out to viewers 24-48 hours after you host to show you appreciated their time. There are so many different topics you can host your webinar on, do your research before you begin, look into what webinars are already currently available and which topics have high attendance rates. I’d highly recommend signing up to a few yourself and analysing what they do well. Whatever your webinar is going to be about, you now have the tools to make it a success.

The Italian phrase bel canto can be translated as "beautiful song" or "beautiful singing." To vocal-music buffs it refers to a style in which the top priority is the sheer beauty and elegance of the singer’s sound. By extension, bel canto describes Italian opera of the early 19th century, when Bellini, Donizetti, and Rossini turned out countless works brimming with florid melodies and long, legato lines that demanded singers whose vocal agility and tonal purity could touch the heart. These days, audiophiles also associate the term with Bel Canto Design, a Minnesota-based high-end company whose distinctive products exemplify the virtues of bel canto via innovative electronics aimed at sounding as liquid and alluring as the great singers of the distant past. And the "Design" part of the company’s name lets you know that the look of their products sets them apart from the standard black-and/or-silver boxes festooned with the buttons, bells, and whistles typical of audio gear. Founder and chief designer John Stronczer’s designation of the CD2 and DAC3 as members of his e.One line indicates that they occupy the top echelon of his current product roster. Both models share the same look -- sleek, simple, functional. Placed side by side, they look like a single long, svelte component, their diminutive sizes belying their rock-solid build and big sound. The first thing I noticed about the e.One CD2 player was the unusual way it houses -- or, rather, unhouses -- the disc it’s playing. The CD2 is a top-feeder, but without the traditional sliding or top-lifting door. Instead, the naked disc spins in plain view, protected only by an aluminum bar that permits enough room for the user to gingerly place the disc on a center cone. Once settled, the disc is secured with a supplied magnetic puck, which damps vibrations as the CD spins. Bel Canto’s User Guide suggests that, when the CD2’s not in use, you can leave a disc in position to protect the exposed laser lens from unwanted dust. Though I noticed no ill effects from dust, I’m wary of such designs over the long term, especially for users who have cats who like to explore intriguing new surfaces. The CD2 tips the scales at 18 pounds, with dimensions of 8.5"W x 4.5"H x 12.5"D; the DAC3 is 8.5"W x 3"H x 12.5"D and weighs 14 pounds. The front panel of the CD2 is minimalism exemplified: set into its silver face is an oblong display window, and on its right, a single, large control wheel. Depending on how the CD2 is used -- as a standalone CD player direct to the amps, or as a CD transport feeding a D/A converter or preamp -- this control lets you choose inputs, change sample rates, and adjust volume. The CD2’s wide range of operating choices will entrance the dedicated tweaker, while its minimalist approach to front-end labeling and controls may seem challenging to others. The manual covers the available choices and tells you how to access them, but there’s an adjustment period for those used to components that have a discrete button for each function. On the rear panel is a Fixed/Variable Output button; set to IN, it’s in Fixed mode and routes the signal to your preamp; OUT means it’s in Variable mode and sending the signal from the CD2 to the amplifier. Analog outputs include single-ended RCA and balanced XLR; digital outputs are AES/EBU XLR, S/PDIF BNC, and TosLink. All connections output 24-bit/96kHz signals; the CD2 will play "Red Book" CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs. The CD2 has a four-layer PC board, multistage power supplies, 24/192 upsampling (available when using its analog outputs only), and more, but Bel Canto’s trademarked Ultra-Clock architecture is cited in their literature as a prime factor in the player’s sound. They claim that Ultra-Clock has extremely high accuracy and "jitter performance 50x better than other clocks," something I hope no one asks me to confirm. I found the CD2’s outboard power supply intriguing -- it’s a cell-phone-sized box attached to a power cord that plugs into a receptacle on the rear panel. The AC cord then runs from the power-supply box to the outlet. This isolates it from the CD mechanism and internal circuitry, doing the job of a conventional separate-box power supply. This neat, space-saving PS is also said to contain filters and regulators that lower noise levels. The DAC3 shares many features of the CD2 -- it looks like the player’s twin, and the DAC3’s rear panel closely mimics the player’s layout, including a Fixed/Variable Output button that allows it, too, to be used with a preamp or fed directly to an amplifier. There’s also a USB input that enables playback from a computer using a recent operating system. Other inputs include XLR AES/EBU and S/PDIF, all galvanically isolated from internal circuits to lower noise. All digital signals are upsampled to 24/192 via a two-channel Burr-Brown PCM 1792 DAC chip that gets its datastream from the CS8421 Cirrus sample-rate converter chip. Like the CD2, the DAC3 includes the Ultra-Clock circuit. The DAC3’s sole front-panel knob makes accessible a variety of functions: standby and operating modes, input selection, soft mute, and volume control are mentioned in the User’s Guide, but I suspect it can be trained to cook dinner and clean windows as well. Like the CD2, the DAC3 may take some getting used to -- I’m still navigating with manual in hand. There’s an inherent conflict between simplicity of visual design and complexity of operation. Bel Canto leans toward a more elegant appearance; other manufacturers prefer more user-friendly arrays of multiple and clearly marked buttons and switches. I inserted the Bel Cantos in my reference system, alongside the Cary 306 SACD Pro player, the Reimyo CAT-777 line-stage preamplifier, modified Jadis JA-80 monoblock power amplifiers, Von Schweikert VR-4 Gen.III HSE speakers, and a compatible mix of wires that included Nordost Quattro Fil interconnects and Siltech G3 AC cords, interconnects, and speaker cables. My listening room is about 21’D x 18’W by 8.5"H, with the speakers about 8’ apart and 3.5’ from the front (shorter) wall. My listening position varied; much of the time I sat in an easy chair about 9’ from the speakers, but sometimes moved forward for nearfield listening, and sometime back against the bookcase-lined rear wall, where the sound, against all expectations, was as coherent and realistic as a front mezzanine seat in Carnegie Hall. Most of my listening was with the Bel Cantos tethered to the outstanding Reimyo preamp. For a relatively small part of it, toward the end, I bypassed the Reimyo and passed the DAC3’s signal directly to the Jadis monoblocks. In the past, I’ve been disappointed when I heard a CD player or DAC direct into my system’s amp(s). Each time, I’d been led to believe I’d hear greater transparency and detail, but the results never came close to such expectations. So I was dubious that the Bel Canto duo would match or exceed what I heard when they were played through my preamp. In fact, they didn’t match the quality obtained through the Reimyo, but they came far closer than I ever thought they would. In the next section I’ll mention some of the results of my listening, results that were representative of the sound I heard with a variety of other discs beyond the ones mentioned in this review. My comments refer to the Bel Cantos played through the preamp, but I’ll briefly mention findings from the discs heard when the DAC3 signal was fed direct to the amps, since they, too, were consistent with what I heard with other CDs. I usually begin the serious, note-taking phase of a review with my torture test: a few CDs I’ve found that give me a quick read of whether the component(s) in question threaten to do serious damage to my ears. I also want to know how the gear copes with recordings I’ve found especially revealing in one or more aspects, most especially those relating to my own listening priorities. For example, elevated mid-treble reproduction drives me up the wall, so I usually start with a solo violin and/or soprano voice. A friend once claimed that he can tell everything he needs to know about a piece of equipment by listening to the first few minutes of Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No.2. The work begins with deep rumblings in the bass, followed by a wind choir, then a sighing melodic figure in the strings that’s then elaborated on by the brass, the violins climbing higher and higher, and rhythmic plucking in the cellos. Heard via a well-recorded performance by the Rotterdam Philharmonic under the baton of Edo De Waart (Pentatone 51861530), this sequence, with its wide dynamic and tonal ranges, told me a lot about the Bel Canto’s stellar performance. But my friend’s formula makes for imperfect snap judgments best suited to traversing such events as the annual Consumer Electronics Show -- it can’t substitute for listening to a range of program material over an extended period. So I turned next to Viktoria Mullova’s superb new set of J.S. Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin (CD, Onyx 4040). I’d recently heard this on my reference Cary 306 SACD Pro, and it was fresh in my memory, especially as Mullova plays Bach on a period violin with gut strings and a baroque bow. While many period instrumentalists make sounds akin to chalk on a blackboard, Mullova plays with a velvety bottom range and a sweet treble. The Bel Cantos captured her performances well, but my reference player put more body on her tone, coming closer to the sound of a real violin. With the Bel Cantos, the violin seemed a half-size too small, its timbre a shade too thin -- not anorexic, but on just the slimmer side of reality. Since tonal body is very high in my hierarchy of audio preferences, that was a disappointment, though hardly a fatal one; many audiophiles actually prefer an aural image with the tautness and edge that lent excitement to the way the Bel Cantos projected Mullova’s sound. I think we’re back in "Cool vs. Warm" territory, a battlefield I’d prefer not to re-enter. Suffice it to say that the recording sounded good on both; if I ultimately preferred the sound of the Cary, others might prefer the sound of the Bel Cantos. Later, listening to Mullova’s Bach through the DAC3’s signal fed directly to the amplifiers and bypassing my preamp, I was impressed by the immediacy of the sound and appreciated her uniquely warm lower register, but disappointed in the upper treble’s lack of bite. The Bel Cantos excelled with a terrific new recording of Handel opera arias and duets sung by soprano Sandrine Piau and contralto Sara Mingardo, with the Concerto Italiano led by Rinaldo Alessandrini (CD, Na�ve 30483). Piau’s bright, pure soprano was well reproduced, and the contrasting, intertwined voices of the soloists were thrilling to hear. The engineers give full due to the period orchestra, reproduced on a deep soundstage that lends the illusion of reality to the recorder players at the rear of the stage. The Bel Cantos also caught the resonance of Cambridge’s Trinity College chapel, the recording venue of the school choir’s performance of Handel’s Chandos Anthems, led by Stephen Layton (CD, Hyperion CDA67737). Here, the choir’s big, full sound and the natural balance between soloists and orchestra were big pluses, as was the transparency of the recording, which lent clarity to each section of the chorus. Unfortunately, that transparency meant that the flaws of individual singers were exposed, poor diction and heavily aspirated bass runs detracting from the performance. A couple of orchestral recordings confirmed the Bel Cantos’ excellence in capturing wide-ranging dynamics and realistic soundstaging. Demonstrating those attributes was a fine recording of Haydn’s symphonies 25, 42, and 65, with Patrick Gallois conducting the Sinfonia Finlandia (CD, Naxos 8.570761), especially as Gallois split the first and second violins to left and right, respectively, liberating the high-strings sound from the left speaker and adding a special dimension that clarified the string lines. Though most Haydn symphonies lack an extreme dynamic range, this recording accurately conveyed the gradations of mezzo-forte wherein most of the music resides; even casual listening revealed that the horns were well back toward the rear of the stage. Larger tonal and dynamic palettes are found in Dvor�k’s bigger works, especially when recorded with the accuracy of Yakov Kreizberg’s performance with the Netherlands Philharmonic (SACD/CD, Pentatone 5186082). The tremendous dynamic range and orchestral detail of his Symphony No.7, plus the sound of the strings -- sweet where it has to be, biting where a touch of edginess is appropriate -- made this a joy to listen to. The disc’s companion work is Dvor�k’s The Golden Spinning Wheel, a tone poem based on a grisly folk tale featuring a wicked stepmother, the dismemberment of the king’s chosen bride, her resurrection, and the feeding of her killer to the wolves. Somehow Dvor�k managed to bring some of his loveliest music to a plot line that seems more appropriate to screaming brass and batteries of percussion. The Bel Cantos were up to letting me in on the glories of Pentatone’s excellent sound, even from the CD layer of this hybrid SACD. The enormous dynamic range was impressive, as were the abundant orchestral detail and the deep, wide soundstage, but most impressive to me was the way the solo violin’s harmonics were captured with accuracy in a passage about 20 minutes into the work, just after a dense wind chorale. This was another disc that suffered somewhat when played direct from the DAC3 to the amplifiers, most noticeably in the somewhat mushy bass line. Finally, I turned to a pair of jazz classics wonderfully recorded for Blue Note by the legendary Rudy Van Gelder, and reissued in superb SACD transfers by Analogue Productions. Of necessity, since the Bel Cantos don’t do SACD, I listened to the upsampled CD layers of the hybrid discs and reveled in the immediacy of the sound. John Coltrane’s classic Blue Train album (Analogue Productions CBNJ 81577 SA) never sounded better in my experience, his big, burly tenor-sax timbre caught perfectly, as were Lee Morgan’s pungent trumpet and Curtis Fuller’s wide-timbre trombone. Philly Joe Jones’ drums came through loud and clear, as did his delicate brushwork behind Paul Chambers’ bass solo. But the irrepressible Coltrane’s intro and solo in "Moment’s Notice" had an effect of shock and awe: soaring, with a creamy upper register and playing that brimmed with passionate involvement. Similar electricity was found on Lee Morgan’s Leeway (Analogue Productions CBNJ 84034 SA). As on Blue Train, here is an abundance of white-hot post-bop playing that was a joy to hear in such vivid, open sound. It would be easy to isolate such moments as alto-sax master Jackie McLean’s slashing intensity or Morgan’s trenchant trumpet, but listening for what the Bel Cantos were doing to penetrate deep into a brilliant recording-transfer job, I found subtler pleasures. One was the sheer brilliance of Morgan’s playing, amplified by sound that captured perfectly placed slurs and the equally perfect articulation of his explosions of rapid-fire notes. Another was the way Bobby Timmons’ piano was reproduced, his vamping on "Midtown Blues" affording special pleasure. The Bel Canto e.One CD2 and e.One DAC3 are clearly superior components: sleek in design, impressive in sound, and versatile in use. At a combined list price of $5490 they’re by no means cheap, but I’ve heard far more expensive single-box and separate models that can’t measure up to their performance. I suppose that qualifies the Bel Cantos as a good choice of source component in today’s market, especially since they can be worked into a system piecemeal: the CD2 as a standalone player, albeit one of marginal pretensions; then the DAC3 joining it and played directly into the amplifier, saving on the cost of a preamp and associated cables; and finally -- best by far of all -- in combination with a top-grade preamplifier between DAC3 and amplifier. While I felt that my reference Cary 306 SACD Pro was ultimately more satisfying, with a firmer bass, sweeter high end, somewhat greater liquidity, and more body to voices and instruments, the combination of CD2 and DAC3 was a neutral-sounding alternative with special strengths in soundstaging and detail retrieval -- and it’s $2500 cheaper. The Bel Canto e.Ones also made my short list of gear that encourages further listening. The pleasure of my extended listening sessions with them was characterized by a desire to hear "just one more CD," regardless of the hour. That, to me, distinguishes the best from the rest.

"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that... he's gone." There was a time in the mid-nineties when films weren’t films unless they contained a twist. At the forefront of this was M Night Shyamalan, whose magnificent Sixth Sense heralded a succession of movies in which the director eschewed basic storytelling and drama in favour of ‘the twist’. This law of diminishing returns has now led to Shyamalan directing garbage like The Last Airbender. Oh dear. The film which started this trend remains the very best of the bunch: The Usual Suspects. Bryan Singer’s tightly plotted thriller features a wonderful ensemble cast clearly having the time of their lives, secure in the knowledge that the end product would be one of the greatest crime capers ever made. Beginning with a line-up which brings together a disparate group of crooks and low-lifes, with each of the characters forced to deliver the line, “hand me the keys, you cocksucker”. The scene was completely improvised and the cast are obviously having a blast as they interpret and reinterpret the line, corpsing and cussing their way through one of nineties cinema’s most memorable scenes. The line-up is, of course, a contrivance to get the characters together. Told in flashback, Verbal Kint (Kevin Spacey) is grilled by Chazz Palminteri’s police investigator Dave Kujan about an inferno which left a boat burned out with twenty seven charred bodies on board. Kujan is convinced that one of the bodies of that of his nemesis Keaton (Gabriel Byrne), a cop turned criminal who Kujan desperately wants to see dead. Kint relays the tale of their meeting (the line-up) and plot to rip off a fortune in gems from New York’s Finest Taxi Service – actually a cabal of crooked city cops. Those involved are the laconic Keaton, sociopathic McManus (Stephen Baldwin), incomprehensible Fenster (Benicio Del Toro) and sarcastic Hockney (Kevin Pollak). There is more to the heist than first appears, however, and soon the quintet are being pressured, bumped off and double crossed by the brains behind the operation – the shadowy Keyser Soze. The Usual Suspects crams an incomprehensible amount into its compact running time. Every character is superbly drawn and acted (the memorable Fenster sticks in the mind vividly despite only being on screen for a few minutes) and credit must be given to the ensemble cast. But the real star here is Singer’s skill in telling Christopher McQuarrie’s deftly plotted script. To say too much is to nullify The Usual Suspect’s greatest strengths – not a mistake I’ll make here. Suffice to say that the film is one of cinema’s greatest ever puzzles and ends with a moment that will genuinely cause you to catch your breath, blink and then re-evaluate everything you’ve just seen. Alfred Hitchcock couldn’t have done a better job of filming this masterful masterpiece of a movie: praise indeed.

Alright everyone, can we just take a moment to stand up and cheer? This is my first theatre blog post since moving to Manchester! YAAAAY! Okay you can sit back down. Just before Christmas I received an email from a theatre company called Powder Keg. They are from Manchester and they had a new show called Morale Is High (Since We Gave Up Hope), which they asked me to come along and review. I punched the air with a grin on my face and said yes. I was also thrilled to learn that my beloved Theatre Deli back in the steel city had helped produce this play. I really got into seeing plays and theatre productions in Sheffield, and it’s something I definitely wanted to pick back up after I’d settled into Manc life a bit. I took my housemate along not really knowing what to expect but feeling certain that if Moor Deli had a hand in it, it would be good. We picked up our tickets at HOME (after a very delicious and satisfying meal), then walked round the corner to the International Anthony Burgess Foundation where the show took place. With the seats arranged in a U shape and two guitars waiting expectantly I felt sure we were in a fun and entertaining evening – in fact, that’s the word my housemate used to describe it afterwards, ‘entertaining’. The guys from Powder Keg used a mix of song, storytelling, props and sometimes dance to tackle a very relevant issue: after the last few years, and particularly after 2016, what will the future hold? Will we be okay? I loved how they delivered this play. Tapping into our fears, but also giving us hope (ironic considering the name). It was fast paced without being too fast, and slow without dragging. The music was fantastic too, and had me tapping my feet at every song. My favourite story from the show was the one about Lindsey, who likes making lists. A sad ending, but a story that didn’t really feel that far off into the future. I’m very grateful to Powder Keg for inviting me along and feel keen to see some more local shows soon. I’ve said before that one of the reasons I love theatre is because it’s a good way to tackle difficult or uncomfortable topics, and Morale Is High achieved this well. Monzo – What are this?

Of everything that’s happened lately, most of it has calmed down. Beginning the second novelette and running two D&D campaigns certainly doesn’t help, but as far as school goes, I’ll be done in a month’s time. I have two more essays, two more exams, and one more book to read. I wouldn’t say I’ve finished crossing this bridge yet, but I can tell I’m nearing the end of it. It’s not swinging as much as it used to. But I’ve noticed that I’m not quite the same person anymore. I don’t know if it’s the fact that things are still happening and I need to give it some more time, or if I’ve really changed. It’s difficult to tell when your mood is the biggest factor that’s different. First, I just don’t like dealing with people anymore. I used to say that a lot, but now when I mean people, I mean everyone, including family. I don’t really want to play games with people, I don’t want to go and hang out with them, or anything, really. That’s not to say I’ve become extremely reclusive, but I’ve become even less of an initiator than I already was. Also, even when I do spend time with other people, I don’t want to spend any effort talking. All-in-all this equates to me playing Stardew Valley, Hearthstone, or Overwatch (by myself). Stardew Valley when I really want to be alone. Second, and this is the one I can’t really explain, I’m far more emotional than I’ve been in the past. I’m a very logical person. When a character dies in the movie I think of the plot devices and the effects on the characters and the storytelling aspects of it, not how I felt about that character dying. But now things are different. Now even little things make me almost physically sad, and its weird because I’m not used to being emotionally affected by anything at all. Recently I can make myself sad thinking about my own character deaths for characters I have literally never appeared in anything I’ve written. What the heck? I hope that in the long run the second part proves to be temporary. As arguably beneficial it may be, it makes me a bit uncomfortable and I don’t know what to do with that new change. The weirdest paradox to all of this is the novelette. It certainly adds stress to my life, because I take the story very seriously. I’m not only trying to keep it canon, but I’m forging my own content that will have to remain canon when I eventually go to the “present” where most of my characters and plot are. But as soon as I finish that week’s part of the story, I cannot stop thinking about it. The next few days are filled with pride for adding content to the Nacre Then universe. Stuff that I can show people at a professional level (if I was looking to do that right now). It may be unedited, just like everything else I’ve written, but it’s a story nonetheless. I have to work on all aspects of my writing career. I can save the editing for an older, more mature me that (hopefully) has his life more stabilized than this current one. I think we all know that’s overly optimistic, but hey. Life is weird. You learn something and it changes you. Or you just reflect on yourself and it changes you (now that’d be an interesting feedback loop if it repeated forever). I personally went through a lot of change in my early to mid 20s. Starting from awful to less awful to not so bad to pretty good, over the course of what, 5-7 years? So a perfect score. See? Look how positive those bad times turned out to be!

A roofer has told of his shock after an innocent mistake ended with him being branded a robber on social media. Reputable Graham McGough, 63, who runs Mirfield-based GM Roofing, carries out much work in the Asian community. Last week he got a call to look at a potential job at a house in Suffolk Avenue, Batley, but ended up knocking at the wrong door in nearby Suffolk Street. There was no answer and as he came away from the house he noticed two men taking pictures in his direction. He thought nothing more about it until a couple of days later a customer phoned him and said his white Iveco van was all over social media, branding him a suspect over a series of violent raids in the Asian community. Then last Thursday, Graham and son Richard, 25, were working in North King Street, off Taylor Street, Batley, when their van started to attract unwanted attention. “Two lads came over – both nice lads and no hassle – but they said ‘your van has been involved in robberies in Savile Town’ and showed us a picture on his phone,” said Graham. “The next thing another three cars rolled up and blocked us in. We couldn’t have gone anywhere if we had wanted to. The men asked Graham to appear in a video clip on social network WhatsApp so they could prove he was completely innocent. Graham admitted he feared the worse when his van was surrounded and said: “It could have gone either way. To show there were no hard feelings Graham attended a meeting at Savile Town Community Centre on Thursday night called to discuss the series of violent raids on vulnerable Asian families. “I thought I would show my face and everybody was coming up to me and shaking my hand and I’ve had some lovely messages of support,” he said.

The double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses of Saccharomyces cerevisiae consist of 4.5-kilobase-pair (kb) L species and 1.7- to 2.1-kb M species, both found in cytoplasmic viruslike particles (VLPs). The L species encode their own capsid protein, and one (LA) has been shown to encode a putative capsid-polymerase fusion protein (cap-pol) that presumably provides VLPs with their transcriptase and replicase functions. The M1 and M2 dsRNAs encode the K1 and K2 toxins and specific immunity mechanisms. Maintenance of M1 and M2 is dependent on the presence of LA, which provides capsid and cap-pol for M dsRNA maintenance. Although a number of different S. cerevisiae killers have been described, only K1 and K2 have been studied in any detail. Their secreted polypeptide toxins disrupt cytoplasmic membrane functions in sensitive yeast cells. K28, named for the wine S. cerevisiae strain 28, appears to be unique; its toxin is unusually stable and disrupts DNA synthesis in sensitive cells. We have now demonstrated that 4.5-kb L28 and 2.1-kb M28 dsRNAs can be isolated from strain 28 in typical VLPs, that these VLPs are sufficient to confer K28 toxin and immunity phenotypes on transfected spheroplasts, and that the immunity of the transfectants is distinct from that of either M1 or M2. In vitro transcripts from the M28 VLPs show no cross-hybridization to denatured M1 or M2 dsRNAs, while L28 is an LA species competent for maintenance of M1. K28, encoded by M28, is thus the third unique killer system in S. cerevisiae to be clearly defined. It is now amenable to genetic analysis in standard laboratory strains.

I'm John Kundert. I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba. My wife and I have been social nudists since 1988. I've been a public promoter and explainer of organized social nudism since 1994 when I began publishing a newsletter for social nudists. We joined Crocus Grove Sun Club in 2001 and were active members until it evolved into Naturist Legacy Inc. on September 11, 2010. Naturist Legacy Inc. was officially incorporated in the Province of Manitoba on July 26, 2010. I am a founder of both it and the nudist location it now operates, Naturist Legacy Park. I was a first director and incorporator of Naturist Legacy Inc. I was the corporation's president in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. I was the corporation's treasurer during the first half of 2014. I was the lead planner, designer and builder of Naturist Legacy Park from 2010 until July of 2014. This photo from September of 2013 shows me happily at work on the park's largest construction project — the new clubhouse. I resigned from the board of directors and suspended my construction work at the park on July 1, 2014.

Some of the warm personal friends of Mr. Adams are taking unwearied pains to disparage the motives of those Federalists, who advocate the equal support of Gen. Pinckney, at the approaching election of President and Vice-President. They are exhibited under a variety of aspects equally derogatory. Sometimes they are versatile, factious spirits, who cannot be long satisfied with any chief, however meritorious:—Sometimes they are ambitious spirits, who can be contented with no man that will not submit to be governed by them:—Sometimes they are intriguing partisans of Great-Britain, who, devoted to the advancement of her views, are incensed against Mr. Adams for the independent impartiality of his conduct. In addition to a full share of the obloquy vented against this description of persons collectively, peculiar accusations have been devised, to swell the catalogue of my demerits. Among these, the resentment of disappointed ambition, forms a prominent feature. It is pretended, that had the President, upon the demise of General Washington, appointed me Commander in Chief, he would have been, in my estimation, all that is wise, and good and great. It is necessary, for the public cause, to repel these slanders; by stating the real views of the persons who are calumniated, and the reasons of their conduct. In executing this task, with particular reference to myself, I ought to premise, that the ground upon which I stand, is different from that of most of those who are confounded with me as in pursuit of the same plan. While our object is common, our motives are variously dissimilar. A part, well affected to Mr. Adams, have no other wish than to take a double chance against Mr. Jefferson. Another part, feeling a diminution of confidence in him, still hope that the general tenor of his conduct will be essentially right. Few go as far in their objections as I do. Not denying to Mr. Adams patriotism and integrity, and even talents of a certain kind, I should be deficient in candor, were I to conceal the conviction, that he does not possess the talents adapted to the Administration of Government, and that there are great and intrinsic defects in his character, which unfit him for the office of Chief Magistrate. To give a correct idea of the circumstances which have gradually produced this conviction, it may be useful to retrospect to an early period. I was one of that numerous class who had conceived a high veneration for Mr. Adams, on account of the part he acted in the first stages of our revolution. My imagination had exalted him to a high eminence, as a man of patriotic, bold, profound, and comprehensive mind. But in the progress of the war, opinions were ascribed to him, which brought into question, with me, the solidity of his understanding. He was represented to be of the number of those who favored the enlistment of our troops annually, or for short periods, rather than for the term of the war; a blind and infatuated policy, directly contrary to the urgent recommendation of General Washington and which had nearly proved the ruin of our cause. He was also said to have advocated the project of appointing yearly a new Commander of the Army; a project which, in any service, is likely to be attended with more evils than benefits; but which, in ours, at the period in question, was chimerical, from the want of persons qualified to succeed, and pernicious, from the peculiar fitness of the officer first appointed, to strengthen, by personal influence, the too feeble cords which bound to the service, an ill-paid, ill-clothed, and undisciplined soldiery. It is impossible for me to assert, at this distant day, that these suggestions were brought home to Mr. Adams in such a manner as to ascertain their genuineness; but I distinctly remember their existence, and my conclusion from them; which was, that, if true, they proved this gentleman to be infected with some visionary notions, and that he was far less able in the practice, than in the theory, of politics. I remember also, that they had the effect of inducing me to qualify the admiration which I had once entertained for him, and to reserve for opportunities of future scrutiny, a definitive opinion of the true standard of his character. In this disposition I was, when just before the close of the war, I became a member of Congress. The situation in which I found myself there, was far from being inauspicious to a favorable estimate of Mr. Adams. Upon my first going into Congress, I discovered symptoms of a party already formed, too well disposed to subject the interests of the United States to the management of France. Though I felt, in common with those who had participated in our Revolution, a lively sentiment of good will towards a power, whose co-operation, however it was and ought to have been dictated by its own interest, had been extremely useful to us, and had been afforded in a liberal and handsome manner; yet, tenacious of the real independence of our country, and dreading the preponderance of foreign influence, as the natural disease of popular government, I was struck with disgust at the appearance, in the very cradle of our Republic, of a party actuated by an undue complaisance to foreign power; and I resolved at once to resist this bias in our affairs: a resolution, which has been the chief cause of the persecution I have endured in the subsequent stages of my political life. Among the fruits of the bias I have mentioned, were the celebrated instructions to our Commissioners, for treating of peace with Great-Britain;which, not only as to final measures, but also as to preliminary and intermediate negotiations, placed them in a state of dependence on the French ministry, humiliating to themselves, and unsafe for the interests of the country. This was the more exceptionable, as there was cause to suspect, that in regard to the two cardinal points of the fisheries and the navigation of the Mississippi, the policy of the cabinet of Versailles did not accord with the wishes of the United States. The Commissioners, of whom Mr. Adams was one, had the fortitude to break through the fetters which were laid upon them by those instructions; and there is reason to believe, that by doing it, they both accelerated the peace with Great-Britain, and improved the terms, while they preserved our faith with France. Yet a serious attempt was made to obtain from Congress a formal censure of their conduct. The attempt failed, and instead of censure, the praise was bestowed which was justly due to the accomplishment of a treaty advantageous to this country, beyond the most sanguine expectation. In this result, my efforts were heartily united. The principal merit of the negotiation with Great-Britain, in some quarters, has been bestowed upon Mr. Adams; but it is certainly the right of Mr. Jay, who took a lead in the several steps of the transaction, no less honorable to his talents than to his firmness. The merit, nevertheless, of a full and decisive co-operation, is justly due to Mr. Adams. It will readily be seen, that such a course of things was calculated to impress me with a disposition friendly to Mr. Adams. I certainly felt it, and gave him much of my consideration and esteem. But this did not hinder me from making careful observations upon his several communications and endeavoring to derive from them an accurate idea of his talents and character. This scrutiny enhanced my esteem in the main for his moral qualifications but lessened my respect for his intellectual endowments. I then adopted an opinion, which all my subsequent experience has confirmed, that he is a man of an imagination sublimated and eccentric; propitious neither to the regular display of sound judgment, nor to steady perseverance in a systematic plan of conduct; and I began to perceive what has been since too manifest, that to this defect are added the unfortunate foibles of a vanity without bounds, and a jealousy capable of discoloring every object. In this excerpt from his George Washington’s Farewell Address of 1796 (co-written with the assistance of Alexander Hamilton), we can not take for granted that once again, after resigning his military commission after the American Revolution in 1783, after his second term as president, with the greatest of humility and grace, once again retires to civilian life allowing for a transfer of power. He pays tribute to his fellow Americans for their constancy of support despite the often discouraging situations and prays for their continued “union and brotherly affection” to each other and hopes that the “sacred” Constitution, ultimately a product of the people, is sustained and preserved and looked upon as a shining example for every other nation. The Federalist Papers is a series of 85 letters or essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay, under the pseudonym “Publius”, and published in newspapers in the 1780’s. The goal was to get nine of the thirteen states to ratify the U.S. Constitution in order to replace the Articles of Confederation. In 1788, the entire series was published as a book under the title “The Federalist”. History came alive July 11, 2016 at the annual gathering at the Alexander Hamilton Memorial and (nearby) Hamilton-Burr duel site in Weehawken, NJ in which we honored the Secretary of the Treasury, Lieutenant Colonel, and Founding Father whose life was lost to an “affair of honor” with Aaron Burr. Although not the actual dueling site (which was nearby, closer to the Hudson River), the Alexander Hamilton Memorial and nearby Alexander Hamilton Park have stunning views of the New York City skyline, the city which Hamilton knew, loved and took an active role in shaping its future. Speaking at the ceremony were Douglas Hamilton, 5th great-grandson of Alexander Hamilton, Rand Scholet, found of the Alexander Hamilton Awareness Society, the mayor of Weehawken, Richard Turner, (and later at the nearby Elks Lodge) Thomas Fleming, author of Duel: Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, And The Future Of America. The gathering, besides honoring the memory of the great man, also celebrated the victory of all involved in keeping Hamilton’s portrait on the next version of the United States’ ten dollar bill. How exciting to meet the eloquent Douglas Hamilton, 5th great-grandson of Alexander Hamilton. There is more than a slight resemblance in facial features between (the bust of) Alexander Hamilton and Douglas Hamilton. Helping to keep the memory and legacy of Alexander Hamilton alive is the founder of the Alexander Hamilton Society (AHA), the charismatic Rand Scholet and sitting to his right is the fine author and historian Thomas Fleming who spoke later at the nearby Elks Lodge. Moved from its original location to this loftier one many years after the duel (because of the installation of train tracks along the original location of the duel), the stone where Hamilton reportedly laid his head after being shot by Aaron Burr, is imprinted with the following words: Upon this stone rested the head of the patriot, soldier, statesman, and jurist Alexander Hamilton after the duel with Aaron Burr. Other duels took place in the same location including one with Hamilton’s young son Phillip, who was killed in a duel in 1801 with the same pistols used in his father’s duel with Burr. Many “affairs of honor” took place on the original dueling grounds, which was, as the plaque reads, “somewhere below” the site of the current memorial. The plaque was dedicated on July 11, 2004, on the 200th anniversary of the Hamilton-Burr duel. Perched upon a pedestal in front of spectacular views of New York City is the bust of Alexander Hamilton. Just a few steps from the memorial is Alexander Hamilton Park, a fine place to contemplate the life and accomplishments of the great statesman.

As the Obama administration and some Democrat lawmakers plot more infringements on the right to keep and bear arms, residents in at least one Kentucky county are relieved knowing that they will be protected from unconstitutional gun control and federal lawlessness by their chief law-enforcement officer, Sheriff Denny Peyman. In an interview with The New American, the liberty-minded Jackson County sheriff said he would refuse to enforce any more assaults on the Second Amendment, and that federal agents would not be allowed to do so either — at least not in his jurisdiction. Teachers will be allowed to bear arms as well, he said. The patriotic sheriff, who believes in the Constitution and wants citizens to be able to defend themselves, is part of a growing trend that is catching fire all across America — especially recently as Obama tries to further restrict gun rights. Chief law-enforcement officers from Oregon and Texas to Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Alabama are drawing a line in the sand, telling the federal government that in their jurisdictions, at least, the Constitution still applies and citizens’ rights must be respected. Numerous state governments, meanwhile, are considering legislation that would put federal agents in prison for up to five years if they attempt to enforce new unconstitutional infringements. And in Jackson County, regardless of what out-of-control politicians in Washington say, that is the way it is going to stay as long as Sheriff Peyman is in charge. To start with, no unconstitutional acts or executive edicts will be enforced by his office, he said. When asked about whether he would allow federal agents intent on violating gun rights into his county, the sheriff’s answer was simple and to the point: absolutely not. Like many millions of Americans, Sheriff Peyman is concerned about federal power grabs across the board, saying that much of it has been accomplished by offering taxpayer money with strings attached to state and local authorities. The unilateral overreach by the executive branch, however, is becoming increasingly alarming as well. In fact, as Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) explained about his bill to rein in “King” Obama’s anti-gun edicts, it is an urgent and serious problem that must be addressed by officials at all levels nationwide. The sheriff said his county was currently working on a plan that would allow armed teachers and school officials, a popular idea that has been pushed by activists for years but recently exploded into the national debate. He explained that such common-sense measures — while certainly not perfect — could help prevent or minimize mass-shooting tragedies, which virtually always occur in legally mandated so-called “gun free zones” such as schools. With federal lawlessness reaching historic proportions, Sheriff Peyman is hardly alone — state and local officials across America are increasingly seeking legal remedies to protect the rights of citizens. One of the most popular in recent years has been the concept of nullification, where a state government declares unconstitutional federal statutes to be invalid within its jurisdiction. Both sides of the aisle have pushed the idea, with conservative-leaning states nullifying ObamaCare and unconstitutional gun control, for instance, while more liberal states nullify federal drug statutes or lawless infringements on civil liberties. Voters in Colorado and Washington State, for example, recently legalized marijuana for recreational use despite statutes passed by Congress. Over 15 others have legalized it for medical purposes despite federal prohibition.

Hello. I have a huge tree in my back yard that I think needs some care. I contacted three different specialists and got three answers 1) top the tree 2) do nothing 3) thin branches. As all opinions were different and all certified/bonded, I'm confused on how to proceed. Any suggestions on what to do and/or recommended arborists would be greatly appreciated. 1) If any so-called "arborist" tells you to top this tree - send them packing in the other direction. Topping is one of the most destructive things you can do to a tree. It will make this tree hazardous and cause many future problems for you. So I would discount that opinion completely. 2) When hiring an arborist, you should always be cautious. Just because someone is licensed and bonded does not mean they know anything about trees. You can hire an ISA Certified Arborist - someone who has passed an exam demonstrating their knowledge of proper tree care. Visit www.treesaregood.com for more details on hiring an arborist and what to look for. 3) it is difficult for me to tell much about this tree from one distant photo. I'm guessing the arborist that told you it needed thinning probably was thinking of wind resistance. It does have a high live-crown-ration - lots of branches to it. This could be fine, or it could be a minor problem if you're in an area of high winds.

Hi guys! I'm Aris Rossi from Sailing into Second! I teach 2nd grade at a wonderful school in sunny Southern California. This is my 5th year teaching and I think 2nd grade is my new favorite grade level. I was convinced kinder was where my heart was, but as I've taught 3rd, 1st, and now 2nd, I know 2nd is where I belong! :) Especially since I got to loop with my firsties into second! If you popped into your classroom unannounced, you'd most likely see us in the middle of either ELA workshop or math workshop time! My students love workshop time because they get to feel so independent. They have certain tasks they must finish before they pick out a center, but either way, they LOVE the activities for centers. :) Here's an example of one of my units they get to work on after the whole group lesson. What best gets me through the day is *gasp* a nice glass of red wine. The hubby and I are winos and love to try all sorts of wines from all over. Our faves are the Italian reds (obviously...Rossi!) and the pinots. :) We love to go wine tasting with friends and family! Here's a picture from our last wine tasting tour in Temecula. The hubby surprised me with a hot air balloon ride through the countryside and we went tasting afterwards. I love you sharing your blog with newcomers! I am new to the blog world and am trying to learn the ropes! I also love your blog. I came across your blog and went through all your old posts. Very resourceful and informative. Keep up the awesome work! Looks like a super cute blog...heading there now!

It's been a year and a half since I read and reviewed The Farm by Tom Robb Smith, and I'm still itching to get to his backlist title Child 44, which has been out for a while and begins his Leo Demidov trilogy. I loved S.J. Watson's Before I Go to Sleep and enjoyed the more recently released movie adaptation of the book, so I want to include his latest book, Second Life. It's not technically backlist since it was released after Before I Go to Sleep, but it's been out for a while and one I discovered when searching for his backlist. Kate Racculia's Bellweather Rhapsody enchanted me when I read it in 2014 and I was pleased to check Goodreads and find that her backlist title This Must Be the Place was already on my TBR.

Transcontinental & Western Air Flight 3, a Douglas DC-3 (NC1946) was a scheduled transcontinental coast to coast flight originating from New York City with the ultimate destination of Burbank/Los Angeles, California. Unlike today's non-stop transcontinental flights, this flight was to make several stops on it's way across the country. One scheduled stop it made in the early morning hours of January 16, 1942 was Indianapolis, Indiana where the flight boarded several passengers including actress Carole Lombard, her mother Elizabeth Peters, and MGM Studio Agent Otto Winkler. Lombard and company had just completed a successful cross-country trip selling two million dollars worth of war bonds to support the war efforts. At 5:27 AM, the flight departed Indianapolis and continued west until it reached St. Louis. Taking on cargo, the flight was delayed nearly two hours by a layer of early morning fog that reduced visibility to less than one quarter of a mile. At 9:03 AM, the fog lifted and the flight continued on with more scheduled stops and strong headwinds. By the time Flight 3 reached Albuquerque, New Mexico it was running more than three hours late. More delays were experienced in Albuquerque as passengers and cargo had to be removed in order to make room for fifteen military pilots and crew who had war time travel priority. Initially, the Lombard trio was removed from the flight, but Carole insisted that their group had priority due to her participation in the war bond tour. The gate agent not wanting to argue with the obviously irritated Lombard, allowed her party to continue their trip. The only other civilian passenger allowed to continue was Mrs. Lois Hamilton. An aircraft crew change also took place in Albuquerque. In command of TWA Flight 3 would be Captain Wayne Williams, Co-pilot Morgan Gillette, and Air Hostess Alice Getz. Under the normal planned route, the flight would have been able to continue direct to its final destination however the extra weight of passengers, cargo and headwinds required an en route fuel stop at Las Vegas, Nevada. At 4:40 PM, Flight 3 departed Albuquerque for the Las Vegas Air Terminal which unlike Boulder City (TWA Terminal) had lighted runways. It was 6:37 PM when Flight 3 reached Las Vegas. This stop was quick. Just enough time to take on more fuel, have passengers stretch their legs, and for Hostess Getz to top off the two galley containers with hot coffee. At 7:07 PM, the flight departed runway 34 and began its climbing left turn across the Las Vegas Valley. The night of January 16th was dark and moonless as the DC-3 leveled off at the cruising altitude of 8,000 feet. The night was made even darker with the government's decision to blackout the lighted airway beacons due to wartime national security threats. With the passenger cabin lights comfortably dimmed, up front in the cockpit, Captain Williams probably had the instrument and cockpit flood lights turned up to set the power for cruise flight. Perhaps Co-pilot Gillette was busy with a navigation chart or trying to confirm their course. Regardless of the reason or task at hand, neither pilot noticed the selected course was sending them into the snow-capped 8,500 foot Potosi Mountain. The collision with the vertical cliff of Potosi Mountain was devastating and all 22 passengers and crew were killed instantly. When the final report was issued nearly a year later, the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) investigators were never able to determine why the flight flew off course and into mountainous terrain. It was around 1990 when I started my research of TWA Flight 3. The story of the accident was interesting to me in that it involved many aspects of history, two of which were World War 2 and the other was the "Golden Age" of Hollywood. Armed with the CAB Report, newspaper articles, and a couple grainy photos, I had little other help to locate the wreck. I decided the best way to find the crash site was to spot the location from the ground and then from the air. In the next six months I planned my hike carefully and decided the best way to approach the site would be from the south side of the mountain (This was the route used by the recovery teams in 1942). The hike up the mountain was very steep, but I did manage to locate the crash site after a few hours. The site as I first located it during 1991 was relatively pristine with very little foot traffic. Identifiable components such as landing gear and engines were located and documented. It was the smaller items that most people stepped over that proved to be the most revealing in the visits I have made throughout the years. Unfortunately today, the crash site is a publicized hiking trip on the internet and I would guess that it is now visited by hikers every other weekend. When I last visited the site in the early part of 2008, soda cans, bottles and other trash littered the site. In addition, one engine has been rolled down the steep mountain slope by vandals. I still have plans to replace a stolen memorial plaque at the site, but I am hesitant due to possible vandalism. I would like to see the U.S. Forest Service be more pro-active and protect this historical resource from further damage. The crash site itself lies within the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area which is managed by both Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service. This photo illustrates the Sperry MK-1 Automatic Direction Finder Control Unit (ADF) installed on a TWA DC-3. The control unit was mounted on the control pedestal between the two pilots. I was very fortunate to locate these two fragments of Flight 3's Sperry MK-1 ADF Control Unit. The ADF was the primary navigation instrument that was to be used departing Las Vegas at night. A TWA Flight Operations letter issued two weeks prior required its use due to occasional navigation beacon blackouts. I found this photo on the internet a while back. This airline uniform flight-wing belonged to either Captain Williams or Co-pilot Gillette and would have been worn on their uniform jacket. Apparently, it was recovered by a hiker who visited the crash site sometime during the late 1990s. Unfortunately, I don't have any other information about it. 1st. Lieutenant Robert E. Crouch. 2nd. Lieutenant Frederick J. Dittman found himself on TWA Flight 3 by chance. Having commented to a fellow USAAF pilot in Albuquerque about the pleasures of flying home on TWA rather than a cold and drafty military transport, the two pilots exchanged seats at the last minute. 1st. Lieutenant Hal Browne Jr. was from Long Beach, California. Second Lieutenant James C. Barham was from Waco, Texas. Corporal Milton B. Affrime was from Philadelphia. Mrs. Lois Hamilton of Lincoln Park, Michigan. She was enroute to California to join her husband, Lieutenant A.D. Hamilton of the U.S. Army Air Corps. Mr. Otto W. Winkler age 39, seen here in Indianapolis on January 15, 1942 was not only an MGM Studio Publicist, but also a close friend of the Gables. He served as Best Man when Clark and Carole were married in Kingman, Arizona during 1939. Clark Gable flanked by MGM Studio chief Eddie Mannix (left) and close friend Howard Strickland (right) leaving the El Rancho Hotel in Las Vegas after receiving word of no survivors. January 19, 1942. Clark Gable made the decision to stay in Las Vegas until the remains of his loved ones were recovered from the mountain. Clark Gable leaving the funeral at Forest Lawn in Glendale, California. Clark Gable was never the same after the accident. Upon his death from a heart attack in 1960, both Clark Gable and Carole Lombard were laid to rest together at Forest Lawn's Grand Mausoleum in Glendale, California. This memorial plaque was placed at the crash site to honor those who died. It was later removed in 2007 by the U.S. Forest Service. An interpretive historical plaque approved by the Forest Service is planned to be erected in the near future.

Prior to initiating the journey into the rewarding world of physical therapy, we should take some vital considerations. The road to becoming a physical therapist can be intimidating with many obstacles. Even so, this can be what ensures the journey exciting and challenging! This blog post should provide you some terrific insight into what it will take to become a physical therapist. The vital responsibility of a physical therapist is to help people that have lost the use of their body as a result of trauma or disability, get that function back. There are so many tasks and challenges that a physical therapist might face. It is essential to take these into consideration. Some therapists in this industry deal with individuals suffering from intense medical conditions demanding complex therapy, such as sufferers of brain and spine injuries or individuals with Parkinson’s disease. The skills you will need to treat these clients long-term will be learned in an academy environment and on the job. Although it is feasible to become a physical therapy assistant and progress from this position using a Bachelor’s degree, it is recommended that people secure a postgraduate degree in a medical field. A strong academic groundwork is essential, particularly in neurology, to have knowledge of the health conditions and how you can treat them. Make sure to get admission info from Alto MI schools early in the process! One of the most critical steps to become a physical therapist is to build up experience in the field. Throughout your undergraduate study, you should be looking into volunteering at rehab clinics. This may help you towards a post graduate residency. If the rehab office specializes in neurological therapy, you can obtain even greater expertise for use in the future in your profession. The hours of voluntary work can contribute to the graduate residency. Locating someone experienced as a physical therapist is going to be very beneficial to your success in graduate school. The knowledge and advice a mentor can offer is very useful. This information will ready you for what to expect as a physical therapist. Among the final actions to become a physical therapist is to obtain state certification. In every state you will be required to complete licensing exams for certified physical therapy associations prior to having the ability to practice. In truth, one can only practice as a licensed therapist once licensed in a minimum of two separate states. Don’t be discouraged by the challenge. The satisfaction of a satisfying occupation is well worth it.

Modern car production is a fascinating process with man and machine working unison to create the final product. These days, many factories have automated processes and much of the functioning of a vehicle factory is digitally tracked. As Toni Carrio of the Seat servicing department explains, he monitors all aspects of vehicle production from a tablet and makes sure everything is running as it should. With the huge jump in technological advancement, cars are being produced much faster than before which in turn means that turnover rate is positive.

Just wanted to share this in case anyone runs into a similar problem. Was changing the ignition coil yesterday due to a cylinder misfiring on 04 Ranger. Easy job, just mark the plugs, unplug em, unscrew the piece and switch it out. Once I started the truck up, not only was it still misfiring, but it was worse, like another cylinder was knocked out. After some searching and some speculation, I figured the misfiring was from dielectric grease getting on the connecting metal of the wires. I didn't use any when I switched it out, but there was leftover grease pretty heavy on the wires. Went out and wiped the metal rods inside the spark plug wires clean where they attached to the ignition coil. It solved my problem, truck runs fine now. I didn't find a clear answer when troubleshooting, so I just wanted to put this out there for everyone else.

The following “new to me” parts were seen at the UK 7mm NGA Trent Valley local groups “winter meet” on the 26th January 2019 at Mickleover, near Derby, and may be of interest to Maine two Foot modelers, particularly those who follow the Bridgton line. This picture shows the Grandt Line part number 3629 (left), placed against a drawing of the Hetch Hetchy part #8601 from the Portland Products catalogue. Apart from not having a central mullion dividing the lower panel, it appears to be identical to station doors used on the original stations on the Bridgton line. For the Bridgton modeler it is a relatively simple matter to add this piece compared to scratch-building a complete door and frame. This picture shows the Grandt Line window part number 3762 (left) described as 30″ x 56″ 6/6 double hung compared to the Tichy Train Group window part number 2006 (group of three) described as double hung window, 38″ wide x 66″ high, with glazing & shades (not shown). The Grandt Line item is a standard choice for the Bridgton line modeller, but the Tichy part will be a useful addition where larger windows are required.

Ok I know you’re all getting bored with my constant Solar updates….. But I’ve got one more (for today, lol), and then I would like to discuss WHY I’m posting them. Snowden released documents revealed it. “An official in another US government department” gave NSA over 200 private phone numbers. Thirty-five world leaders were included. They weren’t named. It’s not hard imagining likely targets. Germany’s Angela Merkel is one. So is France’s Francois Hollande. Africas biggest wind farm began production in Ethiopia on Saturday, aiding efforts to diversify electricity generation from hydropower plants and help the country become a major regional exporter of energy. The Horn of Africa country – plagued by frequent blackouts – plans to boost generating capacity from 2,000 MW to 10,000 MW within the next three to five years, much of it coming from the 6,000 MW Grand Renaissance Dam under construction on the Nile. The plan also consists of raising wind power generation to more than 800 MW and geothermal capacity to less than 100 MW. Although there has been a significant amount of emphasis on the Law of Attraction, I believe the Law of Assumption is really the cornerstone in creating your reality. Under the Law of Assumption, the world that you see depends not so much as what is there but the assumptions you make when you look at it. Your assumptions are that which you believe, feel, think and consent to. If one (such as everyone at the Federal Reserve) thought that the world’s greatest artificial “wealth effect” would also generate the world’s happiest people, one would be dead wrong.

Nilai tukar USD1 setara dengan 1.567 bolivar pada tanggal 1 November. Namun, pada tanggal 28 November, dolar bernilai 3.480 bolivar pada tingkat resmi pertukaran yang secara luas dipantau oleh Dolartoday.com. “Tidak ada yang ingin berpegang pada sesuatu yang akan bernilai 50% lebih sedikit dalam satu bulan,” kata Managing Partner di Caracas Capital Markets Russ Dallen. Beberapa faktor menjadi latar belakang bolivar terjun bebas. Pemerintah telah dipaksa untuk memompa uang tunai ke dalam sistem karena uang yang beredar tidak cukup untuk membayar barang yang harganya lebih banyak. NEW YORK — The Americas Society and Council of the Americas hosted four leading experts who discussed Venezuela and PDVSA’s financial standing, as Venezuela and the state-owned oil company faces payments of more than $13 billion through the end of 2017 as part of bond obligations. In recent weeks, PDVSA has come under intense scrutiny after it offered investors a swap deal in order to postpone payments as its oil output continues to decline. Russ Dallen, who is the head of Caracas Capital and Strategic Advisor to the Venezuela Opportunity Fund, led a discussion of expert panelists on economics and politics in Venezuela that included Lucas Aristizabal, Senior Director and Head of Latin American Energy at Fitch Ratings; Diego Ferro, Co-Chief Investment Officer of $1 billion fund manager Greylock Capital; and Francisco Rodríguez, Chief Economist at Torino Capital and former Chief Economist in the early days of the Chavez National Assembly. This past week a newspaper in Arkansas published an obituary for a popular (fictional) character on “The Walking Dead” – Glenn Rhee — who was killed in the premiere episode of the 7th season of the popular zombie apocalypse drama. I must confess that I have watched the development of Zombie “lore” with fascination: From the original slow moving zombies of “Night of the Living Dead,” to mixing the medium with an attack on the foibles of modern consumer society in “Dawn of the Dead”, to taking the mythology further down the wormhole so that, in addition to “The Walking Dead,” we now have a series about a zombie detective who eats the brains (and gets the memories) of the dead victims to solve the crime that led to the victim’s death (“iZombie”) and another series (“In the Flesh”) about the partial cure, re-animation and re-entrance of zombies as productive members of society as mere sufferers of “Partially Deceased Syndrome” (PDS) — which also brought equality to zombies by including the first televised kiss between gay zombies. Donald Trump would definitely build a wall. Aside from being the Halloween issue of this Report, we wanted to alert you to the billion dollar fall in Venezuela’s reserves that coincided with the billion dollar payment of the PDVSA 5.125% on Friday — and how zombie bonds meant that PDVSA owned the majority of that debt. Friday afternoon the Venezuela Central Bank reported that its international reserves fell $1 billion from $11.8 billion to $10.895 – the lowest since 2002 when there was a national strike against Chavez. That is down $31 billion from the 2009 high of over $42 billion. On Friday, Venezuela paid the maturity and interest on the $1 billion PDVSA 5.125% of October 28, 2016, an amount that roughly totaled $1.026 billion. While Minister of Oil and Mining and PDVSA head Eulogio Del Pino warned earlier this month about not paying the PDVSA 2017s, he had always promised to pay the PDVSA 16s. The reason for not including the PDVSA 16s in the threat or the swap was because PDVSA’s Pension Fund owned the majority of the PDVSA 16 and has since 2013, so he could easily pay the bonds and take the money out again. In November 2013, rather than pay the full $1.2 billion of PDVSA 8% of 2013, PDVSA paid $705 million to the market but swapped the $440 million owned by the PDVSA Pension Fund into a newly created re-tap of $565 million of the PDVSA 5.125% of October 28, 2016, expanding the PDVSA 5.125% 2016 “Petrobono” from its original $435 million to $1 billion — making, not for the first time, the unpaid PDVSA 8% of 2013 a zombie bond that keeps living on. Our zombie hunting adventure aside, what the $1 billion fall in reserves and that paragraph excerpted above tells you is that PDVSA is running out of funds and is raiding the Central Bank as well as its Pension Fund for cash. As we pointed out earlier this year and as that paragraph also reveals, PDVSA did the same thing with $900 million of the PDVSA 2015 bond last October, writing the PDVSA Pension Fund a promissory note rather than pay off the bonds, which are still unpaid to this day. (By the way, PDVSA also reported that it paid the $90 million coupon due on its $3 billion of PDVSA 6% of 2022 on Friday, another bond that we helped discover when PDVSA secretly handed it to the Venezuela Central Bank in exchange for a loan). Gold Reserve to Be Paid $600 Million Today? As if the $1.026 billion paid on Friday and the $1.2 billion due on November 2 was not enough (down from $2.2 billion because of the swap), PDVSA contracted August 8 to pay Gold Reserve Inc. $600 million by today, with the remaining $169 million due by December 31, for the $769 million expropriation judgment that the World Bank International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) awarded in 2014. Those of you who like us believe that PDVSA will not be able to make those payments can short the stock: GDZRF in the U.S. or GRZ on the Toronto Stock Exchange. But beware, the stock has a very low daily volume and no puts and calls are generically available. In addition, Del Pino was in China last week and an investment in this venture was a topic of discussion. In addition to the $1.2 billion payment for the amortization of the PDVSA 8.5% of 2017 due on November 2nd, Venezuela will also be arguing a case before the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday. The case concerns Venezuela’s expropriation of Oklahoma-based Helmerich & Payne’s drilling rigs and local company in 2010, but the Supreme Court discussion is really about a hair-splitting threshold procedural issue about sovereign immunity. And the U.S. filed a brief in support of Venezuela’s interpretation, which calls for a return to the law of sovereign immunity as it was back in the early 19th century, which was also defined by an earlier U.S case involving Venezuela and its caudillo El Mocho — Jose Manuel Hernandez – which helped define the Act of State Doctrine back around the turn of the century. A parcela na Citgo significa que poderia haver uma troca no controle, que faria outras dívidas vencerem antes dos novos bonds, disse Russ Dallen, sócio-gerente na Caracas Capital. Dadas essas preocupações, os investidores têm reagido negativamente à oferta da PDVSA. Suas notas com vencimento em novembro de 2017 despencaram 2,7% em 19 de setembro. A PDVSA está efetivamente dizendo, “aqui está um cálculo a grosso modo do que nós valemos, mas sem fornecer nenhuma avaliação externa”, disse Dallen, referindo-se ao Citgo. Financial Times: Venezuelan Oil Major’s Debt Swap: the Beginning of the End? “This is a worrying sign, in that no counsel for PDVSA, no counsel for Citgo, no counsel for the bondholders, no counsel for Venezuela and no counsel for any of the collateral, paying, trustees is putting their name on this document,” Russ Dallen of Caracas Capital wrote in a note. Complicating matters even further, an array of foreign creditors are already in the process of suing Citgo for non-payment on various contracts, after the Venezuelan government sucked the company dry of cash, Mr Dallen notes. As the world watches the situation in Venezuela continue to ever more rapidly descend from one level of hell to the next – like some coked-up modern version of Dante’s Inferno – my role has almost become a Virgilian explanation to investors, officials and onlookers of what happens in the next lower, depressing ring. There is no easy way to say it: The only thing Venezuela has keeping the lights on – aside from the obvious, seemingly indomitable spirit of its people — is its oil production and that oil production is falling rapidly. Worse, according to our rig count, investigation and research, that oil production will continue to fall in the year ahead. As the table above shows, Venezuela did not report its July production figures to OPEC — despite PDVSA President Eulogio del Pino’s mid-month promises that it was going to be up (or perhaps, because of those promises). Instead, what the figures show is that by Venezuela’s own submitted count, its oil production has fallen from 2.587 million barrels per day (bpd) at the start of the year to 2.364 million bpd by the end of June (which it did submit) – an admitted decline of 223,000 bpd in 6 months. First is that OPEC calculates Venezuela’s fall in production from January to July as 259,000 bpd lost. Second, that OPEC calculates that Venezuela barely produced over 2 million bpd in July. While 2.095 million bpd is nothing to shake a stick at for most countries, that is down from 3.5 million bpd when Venezuela President Hugo Chavez was elected in 1998. More importantly, as the table above shows, Saudi Arabia, which has lower oil reserves than Venezuela, is producing 10.477 million bpd. But most importantly, that 2.095 million is sadly not what is available for export. According to PDVSA’s 128 pages of financials for 2015, Venezuela burned 580,000 bpd domestically in 2015, which PDVSA’s audited financials also explain is down from 647,000 bpd in 2014. That would leave just 1.5 million bpd available for export. But, as PDVSA’s financials also reveal, Venezuela sent an average of 579,000 bpd to China in 2015 to repay the $65 billion that China has loaned Venezuela (As the price of oil has fallen, that 2015 figure is up from 472,000 in 2014 because it takes more bpd to keep paying the debt, the Financial Statements also reveal). But remember, China has already paid for that oil with $65 billion in loans to Caracas and Venezuela has already spent that money, so mostly no real income to Venezuela from that 579,000 bpd (which also is counted at a discount). So, take away another 600,000 from that 1.5 million bpd and suddenly you have just 900,000 bpd to generate hard cash from export — the bulk of which (around 700,000 bpd) goes to the USA and Citgo in particular, making the USA Venezuela’s biggest customer). According to the Energy Information Agency, Venezuela’s exports to the USA netted Caracas just $4.3 billion for the first 6 months of the year (700k bpd multiplied by Venezuela basket average for first 6 months of $31.50 comes to around $4 billion). And that is before the actual lift costs to Venezuela, which are between $10 to $23 a barrel, which is why there is not enough money to pay for food or medicine or bond payments – much less your suppliers and service providers, which bring us to the next leg down. (By the way, you can find PDVSA’s Financial Statements in our database here:https://www.scribd.com/document/319988349/PDVSA-Financials-Consolidated-31-December-2015 ). Because PDVSA doesn’t have the cash, it has not been paying the companies pumping the oil, whether they be majors (Shell says they are owed over $500 million, for example), countries (India says their oil companies are owed $600 million) or oil service providers (Schlumberger and Halliburton together were owed $2.1 billion as of April). As a result, Schlumberger and Halliburton announced 4 months ago that they were drawing down their resources and personnel in Venezuela. Our investigations confirm that is indeed happening. In July Lagunillas union officials revealed to Platts that 4 of the 6 platforms that Schlumberger operated on Lake Maracaibo were no longer operating. To confirm the depth of the withdrawal, we started calling extended stay hotels in oil regions across the country where these companies house employees in the field. At a hotel in Maturin in the state of Monagas, for example, the San Miguel near PDVSA’s PetroOriente headquarters there, Schlumberger had vacated over 80 rooms (over half of the hotel). As a result, according to Baker Hughes (above graph), Venezuela’s rig count has fallen 19 rigs from 68 in May to just 49 active rigs in July. It is the same for other unpaid oil service providers in Venezuela. In May, Peru’s Petrex halted drilling at 28 of its projects and Argentina’s San Antonio Internacional suspended drilling at 8 of its 16 rigs in Venezuela. What that means is that Venezuela’s future production will continue to fall – and likely below 2 million barrels per day. Based on the trend lines above, we would not be surprised to see production fall even further to 1.7 to 1.8 million bpd as PDVSA continues in a vicious circle with the rest of the country into a new lower ring of hell. Pero incluso PDVSA ha registrado problemas en cancelar las facturas del petróleo liviano que importa para mezclarlo y mejorar el crudo extrapesado que produce en el país, explicó Russell Dallen, socio gerente de Caracas Capital. La situación ha llegado hasta el extremo que PDVSA se está viendo obligada a pagar por adelantado esos envíos. “Antes, el pago debía hacerse a la entrega, pero PDVSA no pagaba y el resultado de eso era que los tanqueros quedaban varados frente a la costa de Venezuela esperando semanas y semanas hasta que hicieran el pago. Ahora ya nadie se atreve trabajar así con Venezuela y le exigen que pague por adelantado porque su crédito no es bueno”, dijo Dallen. “Within a year they’re going to run out of money,” says Russ Dallen, an expert on Venezuela’s debt and managing partner at Caracas Capital, an investing firm in Miami. Dallen pointed out that the country has been almost “suicidal” in its focus on making debt payments.

On Friday, Council Member Chris Riley, in a meeting with members of our coalition, affirmed he would join Council Member Mike Martinez in asking the Council to pass a resolution to lower occupancy limits (from 6 to at least 4) in single-family neighborhoods. Doing so will substantially reduce the financial incentives of stealth dorm developers to demolish affordable homes to build dorm-style housing. We believe the resolution will employ a process similar to the one used to pass the recent rental registration ordinance: the Council would ask the City Manager and staff to provide the Council with a proposed ordinance in 90 days, after a public review and input process. More to come!

The fight against malaria continues to advance, led by the hard work of countless people. On World Malaria Day, meet some of the faces behind the Novartis Malaria Initiative and listen to their stories. Novartis is proud of the passion of our people and their dedication to the fight against malaria. The fight against malaria continues to advance, led by the hard work of countless people in their communities. On World Malaria Day, a new photo essay from Novartis presents a collection of scenes on the ground. The fight against malaria continues to advance in Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, led by the hard work of countless people like Agnes Akoth and Dismus Mwalukwanda, who head out every day to their communities with a firm belief that they can make a difference. Three winners, chosen by expert panel at Wired Health 2017 in London, identified innovative approaches to address access challenges in Ghana, the Maldives and the Philippines. Winning ideas proposed novel ways to use mobile technologies to connect patients with caregivers and essential medicines. Sandoz invited young people worldwide to “reimagine access to healthcare” – arguably the largest unmet medical need. Despite its promise, digital health is yet to reach scale in many of the countries which need it most. A new report from the Novartis Foundation, Nokia and the Broadband Commission Working Group on Digital Health explores what it takes to change this. The potential for harnessing the exponential growth in information and communications technology (ICT) to meet health challenges is clear. Mobile is the fastest adopted technology of all time: in 1991, mobile cellular penetration stood at less than 1%, compared to 99.7% in 2016 – and there will be an estimated 5.6 billion smartphones by 2020. Around 90% of that growth will come from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). More than half the world’s population now lives in urban areas and healthcare services in growing cities are struggling. Experts from around the world are in Cape Town this week to discuss this growing health challenge. Rapid urbanization in low- and middle-income countries is having a significant impact on the health and wellbeing on the world’s population. For the first time in history, more than 50% of the world’s population lives in an urban area – and by 2050, it’s estimated that 70% of will be living in towns and cities. Healthcare services in growing cities are struggling, and are already swamped with ongoing challenges like infectious diseases. The Novartis Foundation shares four new Global Health Stories to highlight the impact of leprosy on patients, families and communities and our work to stop it. As part of the Novartis Foundation’s effort to document the impact of leprosy on patients, their families and communities – as well as our work to stop it – we have added four new entries to our visual story-telling platform, called Global Health Stories. Shwe Zin Thai from Myanmar found patches on her arm and showed them to a midwife, who diagnosed her with leprosy. Novartis has published its Corporate Responsibility (CR) Performance Report for 2016. This year’s report provides even more context on the company’s CR performance, as well as views and comments on trends and challenges within the healthcare industry. This is the fourth consecutive year Novartis has published an annual CR Performance Report. In 2016, we again structured our report in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) G4 guidelines, with disclosure at “comprehensive” level. January 18, 2016 /3BL Media/ - On January 18, 2017 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Novartis joins more than 20 leading biopharmaceutical companies to launch “Access Accelerated”, a global initiative to further advance access to prevention and care for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in low and lower-middle income countries (LICs and LMICs). Health experts from around the world met on November 29 to discuss ways to tackle an emerging crisis. December 14, 2016 /3BL Media/ - Chronic conditions such as heart disease and cancer are a growing threat in the world’s poorest countries and public health experts from around the world met on November 29 to explore ways of tackling this silent epidemic. Chronic conditions such as heart disease and cancer are a growing threat in the world’s poorest countries and public health experts from around the world met on November 29 to explore ways of tackling this silent epidemic.

Holiness: Out There or Inside? I have learned much from insights found in the writing of many of the world’s mystics. I offer others a sample of Hassidic sayings in return. Rabbi Zusya once passed a meadow where a swineherd in the midst of his animals was playing a song on a willow-flute. Zusya came close and listened until he had learned it and could take it away with him. In this way a song of David, the shepherd-boy, was freed from its long exile. Why would a rich and learned man like Reb Ephraim of Brody, whose son Rabbi Avraham Gershon of Kitov, was head of a rabbinical court in Brody and a recognized authority in Talmud and Kabbalah, want his daughter Hanah to marry a synagogue janitor and ritual slaughter who was not a Talmudic scholar? Because the first husband Ephraim had selected for his daughter Hanah, was a young man highly recommended by his own son Rabbi Avraham Gershon, who was very pious, and the best Talmud student of a very famous yeshivah. Yet this illui (a young Talmud prodigy) turned out to be a harsh, narrow minded, self righteous, overly judgmental person, who did not listen to or respect his wife. It soon became evident that the illui was a failure as a husband; and Reb Ephraim paid him some money to divorce his daughter Hanah and leave town. Now, Ephraim of Brody told his daughter, he was determined to find for her an open minded, kind, positive and flexible mentch; who enjoyed encouraging people to worship God through joy; and most important, who respected a woman. Unfortunately, long time study in a yeshivah did not usually stress these 'mentch' qualities; and Ephraim was determined to avoid making another mistake like his first one. One day Ephraim met a young man, newly arrived in Brody from a near by village, praying with great joy and enthusiasm. Ephraim talked for a long time to the young man, Israel ben Eliezer, who he had encountered in the synagogue, and learned that Israel ben Eliezer was truly an open minded, kind, positive and flexible mentch; one who enjoyed helping and encouraging people, and who respected women. This was the kind of man Reb Ephraim wanted for his daughter Hanah. As a young man, Yisra’el ben Eliezer (born c.1700) apparently worked at a variety of jobs, including ritual slaughterer, elementary school teacher, and circumciser. He had learned rabbinic Hebrew and Aramaic and, though not a Talmudist, had become conversant with rabbinic literature. He also set himself to learning both practical and contemplative Kabbalah from such mystical, ascetic types as Mosheh of Kitev. At the same time he started learning about herbal remedies, even from non-Jews. His wife, Hanah, as I have already pointed out, was a divorcée (this fact is rarely mentioned in Hassidic accounts of the Besht's early activities) and sister of the prominent scholar Gershon of Kitev (almost always mentioned). Rabbi Yisra’el and his wife Hanah had two children: a son, Tsevi Hirsh, who never became prominent, and a daughter, Odl (Hodl), whose descendants, including Barukh ben Yeḥi’el of Mezhbizh, Mosheh Hayim Efraim of Sudilkov, and the very well known Naḥman of Bratslav, all of whom played significant roles in the later Hasidic movement. Sometime in the 1730s, Hanah urged her husband, Yisra’el ben Eliezer, to began calling himself a Ba'al Shem or a Ba'al Shem Tov; interchangeable terms meaning that he was a “master of God’s name,” which he could use for healing and other purposes. Ba'al Shem Tov, in its abbreviated form, Besht, soon became the title, and even the name, used by most people who knew of him. The Besht was at first best known for his skills as a healer; one Polish source even refers to him as a Ba'al Shem doctor. Soon the Besht was known as a figure who could mediate between this world and the divine spheres in an effort to help people solve not only their health, but also their financial, and social problems. The Besht always had a warm personality, a sense of humor, and a clever intellect. The Besht's wife Hanah. constantly increased his self-confidence, and the conviction that he had a key role to play as a leader of the people of Israel, working for their redemption and that of the Shekhinah (the divine presence). who were discontented with the cold, arid, ridged atmosphere of most Yeshivot. The Besht's attraction to disgruntled Yeshivah Jews, and even to those already studying Kabbalah theory, was that he had instituted many innovations within traditional, mystical, ascetic Hasidism. These reforms paved the way for its transformation, primarily following his death, from an elitist asceticism to a popular spiritualism, and even more important, from a collection of small religious fellowships to a mass movement that would revitalize Orthodox Jewish life. Perhaps most important among these innovations was his insistence that the path to communion with God lay not in acts of asceticism or studying Talmud all day; but in the joy of emotional prayer. If prayer was the key element of sacred activity, then intellectual study was not required. Learning and wisdom could better be achieved through listening to Midrash Aggadah and tales of miraculous events. How did the Baal Shem Tov experience God’s presence through his marriage to Hanah? The Jewish mystics taught that the Shekinah- 'the female presence of God' rests upon a husband when he makes love to his wife with a sense of reverence, tenderness, adoration and love. It is time the spiritual importance of Hanah for the Besht, and Hanah's daughter Hodl's spiritual importance for her children and grandchildren, is recognized by all Jews, and especially Hassidic Jews.

This indica-dominant strain was developed during the '90s. It’s not the most well-known strain, however, it deserves some recognition. It’s definitely a powerful variety comprising a significant amount of THC. After vaping Super Crystal, one senses a relaxing and narcotic wave slowly creeping in. It’s definitely a strain that requires the schedule to be cleared for the day. Super Crystal received its name after its crystal-covered buds. The resin production is quite significant—something to consider for a solid hash-making session. The flowering period lasts for 8–10 weeks, which is required for Super Crystal to develop those super crystalline trichomes. When grown outdoors, growers need to harvest Super Crystal during October.

Racism: Can it be Put in the Past? There are people still alive from when segregation once existed. Changing these types of people would almost be impossible because they are fixed to where they originally live and came from. The idea of eliminating racism in society is something they people from a more modern generations would have to live up to. However, there are people from a modern generations that had ancestors that were once a part of slavery or had live in the world of segregation. The elimination of racism in our society is nearly impossible due to our ancestors and the series of events about racism today from TV news to articles online. We can only hope that one group doesn't overpower the others. Since everyone has their own bias, racism isn't going to go away. We can hope for the absence of racism in democracy by just viewing everyone as equal and giving fair share for every race. There are certain programs that is only reserved for blacks, whites, Asians, etc, maybe those types of programs need to be put down. That could be a possibility of how different race view other race and that creates segregation. The solution is to treat all race equally with equal opportunities and equal treatments. How does Learning Racism in Schools Affect Society? American children are the ones that are most vulnerable to racism because high school history classes are teaching topics on racism. It’s the most recent thing, even though racism and segregation existed decades ago. Teachers and parents have been through racism one time or another and that is taught on to the students and children. Racism is non-existent, but it’s exists in our mind. Children are affected by racism once they learn what it is. They may look our their race and other races differently. According to a quote from NoBullying.com, it states “Basically everyone in modern-day America agrees that both bullying and racism in public schools is bad and that it creates and promotes the very same attitudes to others and fosters a poisonous environment for children.” Children learning about racism means that racism is still upon our society and it’s something that cannot be unheard because racism is everywhere psychologically. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s something that children should learn, stand up to racism, and bringing a positive message about it. An example would be a kid investigating more about racism to find the roots of it and finding a way to prevent racism in society in the kid’s neighborhood or community. Unless the past is erased, the elimination of racism can’t be successful. Unfortunately, that cannot be undone because everyone came from different ancestors and they can be the origin of racism. That brings it into today’s world, where family members talk about the past and the past affects the present. This affects mainly African Americans because they were enslaved in the early 1900s. Based on a news article, “Racism continues to poison social relations in America, with black people in particular regarded as an enemy within by police departments and the reactionary system they represent all across the country.” This quote can be depicted everywhere in today’s society such as white cops shooting blacks because of stereotypes of African Americans. This draws back the big question if racism can be eliminated, according to the events going on around America, the possibility of elimination is very scarce. Series of events have been going on for a while such as blacks claiming they don’t have enough privileges because they are black and that whites are claiming the lives of blacks. The most controversial case about race between white and black is the Mike Brown case. Mike Brown was shot and killed by Officer Darren Wilson. There were two sides of the story. One side is saying that Mike Brown made an offensive move towards the police and another side is saying the officer killed Mike Brown because Wilson claimed that Mike Brown to threatened kim him. According to an article from NY Times, “Some witnesses said that Mr. Brown had his hands in the air. Several others said that he did not raise his hands at all or that he raised them briefly, then dropped them and turned toward the officer.” Due to this incident, America has been viewing this as a racial crime, where white police officers are hating on black citizens. The answer whether racism can be eliminated is at no doubt possible. We are carrying the past into the present. Based on what is going on in the news and social medias, racism is getting worse as days goes on. From a YouTube documentary on racism, “Segregation, racial discrimination, and expressions of white supremacy all increased. So did anti-black violence, including lynchings and race riots.” Racism is something that has been in the past but since society has been talking about this, putting the past back to where it belongs seems like it cannot be done.

An incidental non-invasive aspergillosis: An autopsy case report. Citation: Hossain A, Altaf E, Berry R, et al. An incidental non-invasive aspergillosis: An autopsy case report. J Clin Path Lab Med. 2017;1(2):12-14. We present an autopsy case of aspergillosis where the decedent died from a house fire, but autopsy showed Aspergillus fungus ball in lung. An elderly Caucasian male who was a lone occupant of a house that burned in rural Kansas. He died of carbon monoxide poisoning without any skin burn. In addition to pink organs, autopsy showed a smoothly lined cavity that contained a mass of amorphous black and firm, ball-like mass in the apex of the right lung. Microscopically the ball-like mass was composed of a tangled mass of fungus fibers, blood clots, and white blood cells. There was no fungus in other organs. GMS stain demonstrated numerous Aspergillus organisms forming a mass with fruiting heads and the presence of a mycelium with conidial heads comprised of vesicle, metula, conidia, phialides and detached conidiophores. This article demonstrated a non-invasive pulmonary aspergilloma with distinct and characteristic pathologic feature of aspergillosis in a case who had died of carbon monoxide poisoning in a house fire. Aspergillosis, Hyphae, Conidial head, Fungus ball, Gomori Methenamine Silver (GMS). Aspergilli are saprophytes and are present worldwide. Most human infections are caused by the species Aspergillus fumigatus . The natural ecological niche of aspergillus organism is the soil, wherein it survives and grows on organic debris. It is one of the most ubiquitous of those with airborne conidia . Colonies of the fungus form from conidiophores. Aspergillus sporulates abundantly, with every conidial head producing thousands of conidia. Conidia released into the atmosphere have a diameter small enough (2 to 3 μm) to reach the lung alveoli . So, humans and animals constantly inhale numerous conidia of this Aspergillus. In the immunocompetent host, conidia are normally eliminated. The dissemination of A. fumigatus usually relies on disturbances of the environment and strong air currents. Once the conidia are in the air, their small size makes them buoyant, tending to keep them airborne both indoors and outdoors. Environmental surveys indicate that all humans will inhale at least several hundred A. fumigatus conidia per day . For most patients, therefore, disease occurs predominantly in the lungs, although dissemination to virtually any organ occurs in the most severely predisposed patients. Aspergillus fungus may present in many different clinical situations with a wide spectrum of pathology in human. The manifestations in lung can be pulmonary aspergilloma, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis and invasive aspergillosis. This article focuses on an incidental unexpected and unsuspected pulmonary aspergilloma in a decedent, which became the contributory cause of death and the main cause of death, was carbon monoxide poisoning. An elderly Caucasian male was alone occupant in a house fire in rural Kansas. The decedent was discovered dead, kneeling next to a toilet. There was no direct exposure of the decedent to radiant heat. The decedent was known to be heavy smoker and was a known alcoholic. History included chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD). He was very ill and reportedly movement was limited by chronic illness. This case became a coroner’s case because of the house fire, eventually deemed electrical in origin. The decedent's immobility did prevent him to escape from house fire. Autopsy revealed right lung apical adhesions, densely matted right lung tissue with a 5 cm × 3 cm × 2 cm smoothly lined cavity that contained a mass of amorphous black, firm material not adherent to the chest wall. Both lungs had extensive emphysematous bullae, most prominent in the apical areas, consistent with bullous emphysema. Hemoglobin was 78% saturated with carbon monoxide. Microscopic examination revealed finely divided, dark pigment granules in the mucosa of bronchi and a ball-like mass composed of a tangled mass of fungus fibers, blood clots, and white blood cells in the lungs. The fungus ball destroyed surrounding lung tissue. There was no fungus in other organs. The fungal ball was consistent with an Aspergillus fungal mass with fruiting heads. GMS stain showed the presence of mycelia with conidial (fruiting) heads comprised of vesicle, metula, conidia phialides, and detached conidiophores (Figures 1-4). Figure 1: H and E, 20X, lung: Aspergillus conidial head with vesicles, conides, and detached conidiophores. Figure 2: GMS stain, 10X, lung: Aspergillus conidial head with vesicles, conides, and detached conidiophores. Figure 3: GMS stain, 20X, lung: Aspergillus conidial head with vesicles, conides, and detached conidiophores. Figure 4: GMS stain, 40X, lung: Aspergillus conidial head with vesicles, conides, and detached conidiophores. Aspergilloma consists of a spheroid mass of hyphae embedded in a proteinaceous matrix with sporulating structures at the periphery. A common symptom of aspergilloma is hemoptysis, however, the decedent had no history of hemoptysis, due to lack of disruption of blood vessels in the wall of the cavity occupied by the fungus and there was no disruption of the bronchial artery supply. COPD patients are at risk of developing pulmonary aspergillosis, specifically invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, because they are treated with corticosteroids . No pathognomonic clinical presentation of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis or aspergilloma exists in COPD patient. In the differential diagnosis in COPD patients with chronic infection, aspergillosis should be included, and effort should be made to find the accurate diagnosis, and thereby treated accordingly. Aspergilloma and invasive aspergillosis usually require therapeutic intervention with antifungal agents, such as Amphotericin B and itraconazole. Although aspergillosis can be treated with antifungal agents, the infection is fatal in a high ratio in immunosuppressive patients. The curative and mainstay of treatment is surgical debridement, but medical interventions are also performed with the advent of newer available anti-fungal agents . At the present time, treatment is disappointing but surgical options available for the management of aspergilloma. This article demonstrated a distinct and characteristic etiologic agent of the pulmonary disease which was thought to be COPD. The early correct diagnosis should have been made and proper treatment should have been instituted. Autopsy studies and articles on Aspergillus pneumonia or aspergillosis in forensic journals are relatively rare. We present an autopsy case of simple pulmonary aspergilloma where the decedent died of carbon monoxide poisoning but autopsy showed Aspergillus fungus ball in the lungs.

Chapter 1 of Book one. Click read more at the bottom to view the rest! Icy wind stung my cheeks and burned my lungs, releasing hot steam against the cold night. Low hanging branches scrapped my face and tore at my dark hair like angry hands. I frantically stumbled through the grove of twisting trees, fog and darkness blanketing my path. The monster chasing me was gaining ground. My heart pulverized the inside of my ribcage and my muscles trembled with fatigue. I peeked over my shoulder, squinting through the creeping fog to see shining teeth and sharp claws. My gasp was echoed by a shrill, high pitched laugh. Goose bumps exploded across my flesh. Why is it after me? My bare feet slipped on the dry forest bracken, tangling in a briar patch. When I wrenched my legs free I noticed an ivory hilted dagger clutched in my hand. The wicked blade was smeared with crimson. Sickness rose in my throat and I longed to lie down, but the presence of hot, fetid breath slithered down my nape. The monster was right on my heels. I had to keep running. A light beamed ahead. I stretched my arms out as if I could drag the safety of the glow closer. Gnarled, boney claws suddenly snagged my hair. My scream froze in my mouth as it whirled me around and I saw those angry, soulless eyes. Click read more below to view the rest. My head thudded against the hardwood floor of my bedroom and I wished I hadn’t chunked the fuzzy rug that used to surround my bed. “Ouch,” I grumbled, brushing long strands of dark hair out my eyes to see my aqua blue satin sheets demurely hanging off my bed as if they hadn’t just tossed me out. The image of that soulless eyed creature from my nightmare rose up, prickling my flesh. I bit my lip recalling the thick grove of trees, swirling fog, and bloody knife. I staggered up and decided, even though it was only 8 o’clock on Saturday morning, to nix returning to bed since my day probably wouldn’t get any weirder. “I’m sorry. You want me to what?” I glared at my parents, my light honey eyes bulging from their sockets. Their delighted faces beamed back as if this was the greatest news in the world. “We want you to attend Highland Academy while we’re in Antarctica,” my mother said. “I thought we decided I was going to stay with Jill while you were gone.” Actually I decided I was going to stay at home alone. Not for lack of parental guidance or rules, but for the quiet solace. There’s nothing like having a house to myself for months! “Everything will work out Rubi. You’ll see.” My father patted mother’s hand, a smile twisting his thin lips. If anyone ever needed proof opposites attract look at my parents. My mother was a granola crunching, tree hugging, barefoot loving, free spirited hippie while my dad was a straitlaced, glasses wearing, pocket protector collector, geeky mathematician. Marshall McHale was tall and lanky like a beanpole with close to the scalp black hair surrounding his symmetrical face. His dark, almond shaped eyes were serious yet comical when he squinted at his paperwork through glasses sliding down his nose. Sarah McHale was petite and curvy with long golden hair feathering around her mischievous honey eyes. The only thing they had in common—besides me—was their commitment to preserving the environment and planet Earth. I had to admit they made an unstoppable team with my mother’s charisma and my father’s number crunching and formula driven brain. They’ve been planning a trip to Antarctica to help stop global warming or save the whales—something along those lines. Their environmental consciousness didn’t spread to me as much as they like. I have no idea what my carbon footprint is. I clenched my jaw to stop from rolling my eyes. It was only semi-successful. How could they expect me to be okay with this? My friends are here—all two of them—and I have no idea how to make new friends because I’ve only ever lived here. I’ve basically known the same people all sixteen years of my life. “Yes,” my parents said in unison. I didn’t think it was possible to be more shocked than I already was. My eyes glanced out our giant bay window overlooking the sparkling Florida ocean and powder sandy beach. The weather was a delicious 85 degrees and I saw the hint of a fragrant breeze swaying the palm trees in a rhythmic dance. Coconut oil perpetually lingered in the air and an array of bright sea food was readily available. And swimming was an everyday event. A nervous layer surrounded their laughter. “There aren’t any witches in Salem Rubi.” My mom’s calm voice contrasted with her fidgeting hands tangling in her wavy blonde hair. My father stood and placed his hand on my mother’s slender shoulder, demonstrating their unity. “It’ll be great,” he insisted, his smile stretching all the way to his clean cut black hair. I crossed my arms against my chest convinced it would be the opposite of great. A boarding school in Salem, Massachusetts makes me picture gloomy weather, opposing shadows, and unfamiliar snobby kids. The school probably looks like an old castle outfitted with turrets, cobwebs, and ghosts. It probably even has gargoyles.

I felt a little like Lewis and Clark (without a canoe) as I entered the Northwest territory for the first time. I was immediately impressed with the beauty of the city and the friendliness of the people. After settling into my hotel, I went exploring. The Oregon Convention Center is a 13 minute walk from where I’m staying. All the Plenary sessions for our General Conference as well as the legislative and committee work will take place there. It’s an exquisite setting and a state-of-the-art facility. As I walked through the building, you could feel the sense of anticipation. God is clearly stirring in his church. For a moment, I peaked in the massive auditorium while the worship band rehearsed for tomorrow’s opening worship service. I know from previous General Conferences that this is a must-see experience. The Conference officially begins with a grand worship experience including people from many tribes, tongues, and nations. It’s a foretaste of the vision in Revelation where John sees a great multitude that no one could count from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb (Rev. 7:9). I hope to see you there on Tuesday. That’s all for now. This explorer needs a good night’s sleep.

The Noir de Bigorre pig is the oldest breed of pig known in France. Similar to the Spanish Iberico, this breed is deep black in color and originated in the foothills of the French Pyrenees in the area around Nébouzanne, which stretches between the departments of Haute-Garonne, Haute-Pyrénées and Gers. This robust and vigorous breed can handle hot weather and fares best when raised free-range on pasture. The Bigorre has small ears that stick out horizontally from the head and is an incredibly calm animal. As with many rare breeds, the Noir de Bigorre pig grows much more slowly than most commercial breeds, increasing only 450g a day in weight, in contrast with the 800g a day of other modern breeds. This breed also has a much higher percentage of fat, with only 43% lean meat compared to an average of 56% among industrial breeds, and this abundant fat makes for exceptional flavor. The Noir de Bigorre pig is not adapted for intensive farming and therefore has been at risk of extinction, as farmers increasingly choose to maximize production over quality. In the 1930s, 28,000 head of Noir de Bigorre pigs grazed the pastures of the Pyrenees. 40 years later, only a few hundred remained. The breed also lost genetic integrity due to frequent interbreeding. In 1981, 34 heads of pure-breed Noir de Bigorre pigs were documented, and at that point, a group of agricultural technicians and breeders decided to join together to save the breed. The Noir de Bigorre pig continued to be highly at risk throughout the 1980s, above all because it was difficult to convince breeders to use an animal that grew so slowly and offered few economic incentives for its breeding. The challenge, therefore, was to find new commercial outlets that would encourage farmers to raise Noir de Bigorre pigs. In 1992, the cooperative of producers began producing salami and cured prosciutto, and because of this initiative, as well as the clear economic benefits for pig farmers, Noir de Bigorre pigs now number 700 sows on 50 different farms. The most important product made from the Noir de Bigorre pig is a ham cured from 18 to 24 months, cut into thin slices and served at room temperature. It has a long-lasting scent and flavor. Other specialties made from Noir de Bigorre pig include cured sausage and rolled bacon, both of which can be aged or made into confits. The fresh meat of the Noir de Bigorre pig is also exceptional, and to best show its flavor, it should be cooked until just pale pink. There are around fifty breeders and producers of cured meat in the Consortium du Noir de Bigorre. Noir de Bigorre has a product certification (CCP), which correlates with a production protocol that outlines rigid rules for production and animal husbandry. Although this same level of certification does not govern the production of cured sausage and bacon, these products are always made from the meat of animals raised free-range all year long at a population density of less than 25 head per hectare. Today, the center that the producers founded to produce ham and other cured meats processes the pork of 5,000 pigs (not exclusively Noir de Bigorre pig), but must double that amount in order to become self-sufficient. The objective of this Presidium is to continue to promote and conserve the Noir de Bigorre pig breed through products like the Noir de Bigorre prosciutto, cured sausages, and fresh meat.

Complainant is Proskauer Rose LLP of New York, New York, United States of America, represented by Jenifer deWolf Paine, United States of America. Respondent is Leslie Turner of Eureka, Montana, United States of America. The disputed domain name <proskauerlawfirm.com> (the “Domain Name”) is registered with GoDaddy.com, Inc. The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the “Center”) on April 15, 2011. On April 18, 2011, the Center transmitted by e-mail to GoDaddy.com, Inc. a request for registrar verification in connection with the Domain Name. On April 18, 2011, GoDaddy.com, Inc. transmitted by e-mail to the Center its verification response confirming that Respondent is listed as the registrant and providing the contact details. In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2(a) and 4(a), the Center formally notified Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on April 27, 2011. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5(a), the due date for Response was May 17, 2011. Respondent did not submit a timely response. Accordingly, the Center notified Respondent’s default on May 18, 2011. Respondent submitted a Response with the Center on May 20, 2011. Complainant sought leave to file a supplemental submission to address certain alleged inaccuracies and legal assertions contained in the Response, but the Panel in its discretion chose not to entertain a supplemental submission since its decision ultimately rested on the Complaint (and annexes thereto) itself. The Center appointed Robert Badgley, Richard G. Lyon and Debra J. Stanek as panelists in this matter on June 22, 2011. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. Each member of the Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7. Complainant is one of the largest law firms in the United States, and has 12 offices globally. Complainant was known for decades as Proskauer Rose Goetz & Mendelsohn, before changing its name to Proskauer Rose in 1997. In 2000, Complainant branded itself principally as Proskauer. Complainant has nearly 700 lawyers and is undoubtedly one of the best known law firms in the United States. Complainant also holds registered trademarks in the name PROSKAUER. The Domain Name was registered on March 4, 2010. Complainant alleges that while Respondent is the registrant of the Domain Name, the website to which the Domain Name resolves is operated by Crystal Cox. This is not disputed. (Indeed, in an omnibus Response filed in this proceeding and in several companion cases involving domain names including the names of several Proskauer lawyers, the Respondent is listed not as Leslie Turner but as Crystal Cox.) For purposes of this proceeding, the Panel regards Respondent and Crystal Cox as interchangeable. By way of background, the Complaint states that in 2007 Bernstein and another plaintiff sued numerous defendants in federal court alleging that the defendants had stolen technology. These defendants are also alleged to have contributed to the Enron bankruptcy and the presidency of George W. Bush. The Proskauer law firm was among the defendants named in the Bernstein suit. The suit was dismissed in 2008, and the appeal was dismissed in 2010. According to the Complaint, Respondent also maintains a website at “www.crystalcox.com” at which further criticism of the Proskauer firm is levied. Complainant’s main factual contentions are set forth in the Factual Background section above. Complainant argues that it has satisfied all three elements required for relief under the Policy, and seeks a transfer of the Domain Name from Respondent. Complainant’s specific arguments under the Policy will be taken up in the sections below as appropriate. Respondent makes many contentions more germane to her ongoing dispute with the Complainant firm and others than to the issues before the Panel. Respondent does, however, dispute that she lacks rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Domain Name, and she disputes that she has registered and is using the Domain Name in bad faith. Complainant holds rights in the mark PROSKAUER through registration and use. The Panel further finds that the Domain Name is confusingly similar to the PROSKAUER mark, since the Domain Name incorporates the mark and adds the descriptive term “law firm.” The addition of this descriptive term does not diminish the confusing similarity between the mark and the Domain Name. If anything, the term “law firm” reinforces the confusing similarity, since Complainant is a law firm. The Panel concludes that Respondent has a legitimate interest in the Domain Name under the Policy, pursuant to paragraph 4(c)(iii) quoted above. The Panel majority reaches this conclusion without having to accept or reject any of the assertions made by Respondent at her website. Although free speech is not listed as one of the Policy’s examples of a right or legitimate interest in a domain name, the list [in paragraph 4(c)] is not exclusive, and the Panel concludes that the exercise of free speech for criticism and commentary also demonstrates a right or legitimate interest in the domain name under Paragraph 4(c)(iii). The Internet is above all a framework for global communication, and the right to free speech should be one of the foundations of Internet law. See also Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association v. Paul McCauley, WIPO Case No. D2004-0014 (denying complaint where “Respondent’s website appears to be a classic criticism site” and there was no evidence of intent to derive commercial gain or tarnish complainant’s mark). In the instant case, Respondent has denied ever making any money from her use of the Domain Name, and there is no evidence in the record to the contrary. The Domain Name appears to be used solely in sincere pursuit of Respondent’s free speech rights. Whether the content of the website is actionable under the law for reasons unrelated to the Domain Name itself is not for this Panel to consider. The Panel unanimously believes that this is not a clear case of cyber squatting which the Policy was designed to address. Rather, this looks like a protracted and contentious dispute among numerous parties, several of whom are not before the Panel in this proceeding, that has spilled into the arena of Internet domain names. All parties are free to pursue their respective positions and interests in other fora better suited to consider evidence and grant appropriate relief. As set forth in his concurring opinion, the Panel member who disagrees with the majority’s reasoning on the legitimacy of criticism sites joins the Panel in finding this dispute better suited for the national courts and in the circumstances of this case not appropriate for resolution under the Policy. The Panel unanimously finds that Policy paragraph 4(a)(ii) has not been satisfied by Complainant under the facts in this record. Because the Panel majority has rejected the Complaint under Policy paragraph 4(a)(ii), there is no discussion here of alleged bad faith registration or use of the Domain Name. Though I agree that the Complaint must be denied, I adhere to my oft-stated views that a criticism site even if entirely noncommercial does not confer upon a domain name holder a right or legitimate interest if the domain name consists solely of the complainant’s (and the target of the criticism) mark. Those interested in the details of my reasoning may read, among other cases, Joseph Dello Russo M.D. v. Michelle Guillaumin, WIPO Case No. D2006-1627 (majority opinion), and Justice for Children v. R neetso / Robert W. O’Steen, WIPO Case No. D2004-0175. Here the Domain Name and mark at issue do not match exactly, but the only difference exacerbates the likelihood of confusion on the part of Internet users by adding a description of Complainant and the services Complainant provides. On the reasoning of the cases cited above, Respondent should not be permitted to appropriate Complainant’s soapbox for her criticism of Complainant. Resolution of that issue, however, is unnecessary in this proceeding, for in my view the Complaint must be denied on the other ground stated by the Panel. Complainant and others are battling Respondent and others over a slew of domain names and assorted issues of tort law. The Response in this case lists some (perhaps all?) of the other individuals engaged in these other proceedings. The Policy itself and Policy precedent do not permit consolidation of these other proceedings under the limited mandate of the Policy; even if consolidation were possible that would do nothing about the charges of defamation (and other torts) and countercharges of harassment (and other torts). Decisions in this or any of the other Policy proceedings are subject to subsequent challenge in court, where the panels’ findings are not binding. Given the parties’ history, that may well happen here.

It is crazy to think that Emmy is almost 18 months old. Over the past year and a half I have taken HUNDREDS if not thousands of photos of my daughter. I realized early on that my skills could use some help. A majority of my photos were not worthy of sharing. The lighting was bad, the focus was off and they just didn’t really seem eye catching. So I invested in some much needed tools. And I also found some amazing FREE ones. If you follow me on Instagram you can probably tell I have upped my game a bit in the past few months! I’m no pro, but with the proper tools, my photos have really kicked it up a notch! I started out with taking photos with my iPhone and still do on occasion. However, about 3 months ago, I decided I wanted to really invest in being able to take better quality photos. While the iPhone was doing its job, I didn’t feel the photos were great enough quality to print and frame so I bought a DSLR camera. Navigating a fancy-shmancy camera was so intimidating to me. I was nervous to spend a lot of money on a camera without knowing if I was going to be able to use it. I did a TON of research on which camera was best for beginners and read a lot about the Cannon Rebel T6. It seemed to be what everyone was flocking to when trying to break into the world of better photo taking. The Amazon reviews had some example photos that new users had taken with their camera and they were impressive. But still- my experience with these kind of cameras was not positive and I was really worried I wouldn’t know how to use it. Luckily, there is this awesome tool on the internet that I refer to religiously to help me out when I have no idea what I am doing. It’s called YouTube. To get an idea if the Cannon Rebel T6 was amateur friendly, I watched a ton of YouTube How-to’s BEFORE ordering it. I was sold. I knew which functions I would want to shoot on before the camera even arrived. The day it came, I turned it on, set it to Av (more on that below) and snapped this photo. ON MY FIRST DAY! This was the first photo I also had professionally printed and framed for our home! I now have dozens that I took myself hanging on the walls. It makes it just a little more special that I captured these moments! You can check out the full details of the camera package here. It came with everything: A camera case, tri-pod, 2 additional lenses (which I have yet to master, but soon!), 2 memory cards and so much more. One of my FAVORITE functions of this camera is the app. You can download the Cannon camera app and do remote shooting from your phone. How cool is that? You can easily set up the tripod, get the whole family gathered for a photo, see the photo on your phone and even hit the SHOOT button! It doesn’t get any cooler than that! This is the foundation for any good photo, iPhone or DSLR. Natural light trumps artificial light any day of the week. Take a look at the two photos below. One was taken at night with an overhead light and one was taken with my baby’s face turned directly towards a window. Isn’t it amazing what natural light can do? Natural light doesn’t necessarily mean DIRECT sunlight. This can lead to shadows being created (mainly on faces) and half-closed eyes from our kiddos! So get outside, pull l back the curtains and let in that light! You’ll be surprised how big of a difference it can make! When it comes to flash, avoid at all costs. In my experience, it is easier to edit a slightly darker photo by adjusting the brightness than it is to doctor a overly lit photo with a flash. In the case that your lighting isn’t ideal, check out the section below that offers details on editing! More mamas need to be on the OTHER side of the camera with their babies! I can’t tell you how much I depend on a tripod, for both my iPhone and DSLR. I ordered the tripod below for Amazon for a great price. It folds up super small and comes with a little carrying pack. You just snap your phone in and set the timer! If you need a longer timer, I suggest the Timer Cam app (free!) You can find the tripod here on Amazon. Your iPhone is completely capable of creating a “blurred background”, you just have to learn how to maneuver it. First of all, play around with the yellow box. When you have your camera open, touch the screen and move the yellow focus box over your desired object. Always try to move your desired subject as far away from the background that you want blurred. If you have your daughter stand directly in front of a flowered bush, your camera doesn’t have enough room to work with. Try having her stand 2-3 feet in front of it instead. If you want to achieve an even heavier blurred background, see the editing section below. Step one to mastering the rule of thirds- turn on your camera grid! You can do this from settings>Camera>Grid ON! The grid will divide your screen up into thirds. You will notice that there are four places on the grid where the lines cross and make a point. Aim to make one of this your focal point of the photo. For example, in the photo below, Emmy’s face is in the top left connection point. This rule simply makes your photos more appealing than if your subject was dead center. It isn’t always easy to get kids to stay perfectly still, but when you can, aim for the rule of thirds! While I rarely have to edit photos taken with my DSLR camera, I don’t always have it with my and resort to my iPhone. Most of my iPhone photos need some sort of cropping and color editing. How much I am adjusting depends on the starting condition of the photo. If you are looking to achieve even more of a blurred background with your iPhone photos, you can also do so with Snapseed under the “lens blur” tool. They also have a wonderful tool called “glamor glow”. It gives skin a airy and flawless feel. Use is sparingly though. It can easily make your photos look over edited and very fake. Themed profiles are all the rage these days. While this isn’t something I am to do, it definitely see the draw to it. Snapseed allows you to reuse your “last edits” in order to continue adjusting all photos to look the same. Another VERY popular app for themes is VSCO. A google search for VSCO will show you hundreds of examples of themed profiles and the exact adjustments they are using. I hope these tips help you in some form or fashion when it comes to taking better pictures! Be sure to follow me on Instagram so we can connect!

Content. The stuff on your website. Unfortunately, for many businesses, that’s about all the thought they put into the written content on their website. In the design and development stage, creating the written content is often put on the shelf as more inspiring and interesting stages are tackled, like the visual design or overall structure of the site. But content is still King. What you have written on your website will not only attract or deter clients and potential customers; it is the online extension of your businesses and should reflect its values, persona, and tone. It takes a lot more time and skill to write compelling web copy than people generally think. Once you sit down and start to undergo the process of writing for your business, you start to see how much planning, research, time and effort need to go into doing so successfully. Product descriptions and names—specifically tailored for search engines. Company and staff biographies— about your company and staff...who you are! How to articles and instructions—addressing technical or practical questions. Addressing questions and educating—answering common questions and general information. And remember, everything written on your website absolutely must be error free and use proper grammar and spelling! Get your website ranking with search engines. Penalizing sites that rely on, or dish out paid links; phony-blog networks and the likes are all getting kyboshed by Google’s algorithms. Search engines are continually adjusting and changing the way they work; which is a good thing. It means that you will be found by relevant people, who will be more likely to spend money on what you sell. And it means that people searching for products and services will be finding the best, most relevant search responses. In the end, the goal in content marketing is to be relevant, high-quality, current, and active. It sounds simple, but when you set out to do it successfully and consistently, it can get big really quick; especially when you have a business to run. Hiring a qualified and well-versed content writer is a great way to ensure that this critical part of your internet marketing strategy doesn’t fall through the cracks. If you can’t afford to hire an in-house content writer, outsource your internet marketing projects to an internet marketing company that specializes in content marketing strategies.

OK, yesterday I decided to try something new. After my accident last month, I am still in a lot of pain. My friend in Idaho suggested acupuncture and massage. So I went to Yelp and read all the reviews on acupuncture centers in the area. I found Dawna Ara. Yesterday was my first appointment and let’s just say that it won’t be my last. I was a little nervous about the whole experience. I’m not a fan of needles. But since several of my friends and my therapist (all whom I trust) swear by it, I figured it couldn’t really hurt to try–or could it? So I arrived early, mainly due to my nerves and my OCD about never being late, and Dawna greeted me when I walked in. The great thing about Dawna’s practice is that you can make your appointments from her website and download all the paperwork so you don’t have to spend most of your time at the appointment trying to figure everything out. Dawna sat down with me to talk about what was going on and things I had mentioned in her questionnaire. She had me stand up and she instantly found my “trouble” spot on my neck. She explained everything to me. She told me it would be best to start with the acupuncture and then a light massage. Surprisingly, the acupuncture needles didn’t hurt. It tickled a bit when they went in but I barely felt them. Dawna had me lay there for 25 minutes–she came in to check on me from time to time. While lying there, I could start to feel my muscles relax. My trouble spot start to feel better. It wasn’t anything dramatic but I could definitely feel things change the longer I laid there. Once the 25 minutes passed, Dawna came in, removed the needles (which didn’t hurt at all), and gave me a light 5 minute massage with some sort of cooling cream. I reminded me of the Biofreeze my dad uses. Then my session was over. Dawna told me what I should expect over the next few hours and days. She gave me some herbal pain therapy patches to apply to my “trouble” spot over the next five days. On my way out, I felt so calm and relaxed that I wanted to call everyone I knew and tell them to try acupuncture. Now there are some side effects that didn’t hit me until later. Once I got home and relaxed a little more, I felt lightheaded and very tired. Since the accident, I haven’t been able to really sleep because of the neck and back pain. But while I was laying on my couch, trying to watch the new Sherlock Holmes movie, I fell asleep. I woke up around midnight and realized where I was. I managed to muster up enough energy to turn off the TV and make my way into my bedroom where I collapsed on my bed, comfortably sleeping until my alarm went off that morning. So I guess finally getting a good night’s sleep isn’t a bad side effect to have to endure. Previous Post: How Do You Say Goodbye? Next Post: Has It Really Been 25 Years?

Inner-city children have a well-established high risk for asthma and environmental allergies. Now a study conducted in four major U.S. cities and led by Johns Hopkins Children’s Center investigators shows young children from urban areas also have a disproportionately high risk of food allergies. One in 10 inner-city children are allergic to eggs, milk or peanuts, the study found, but the true number may be even higher, investigators say. The research team describes the findings as a “wake-up call” to investigate the causes and mechanisms that account for this elevated risk. Already known for their higher-than-usual risk of asthma and environmental allergies, young inner-city children appear to suffer disproportionately from food allergies as well, according to results of a study led by scientists at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. The federally funded multi-center study, described online Aug. 13 in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, found that at least one in 10 children from four large U.S. cities has a food allergy. However, the true number may be even higher, the investigators say, because the study used highly stringent criteria and counted only the three most common food allergies. “Our findings are a wake-up call, signaling an urgent need to unravel the causes, contributors and mechanisms that drive the high prevalence of food allergies among an already vulnerable group known for its high risk of asthma and environmental allergies,” says senior investigator Robert Wood, M.D., director of pediatric allergy and immunology at Johns Hopkins. Nearly 3 percent of adults and 6 percent of young children in the United States have one or more food allergies, according to the latest estimates from the National Institutes of Health. Moreover, Wood notes, food allergies among children have been on a steady rise over the last 20 years, and experts have long suspected that children in urban areas are no exception. The new study largely affirms that trend but also points to a subgroup of children who may have higher-than-average allergy risk. For the study, the investigative team followed 516 inner-city children from birth through age 5, living in Baltimore, Boston, New York City and St. Louis. Each year of the study, the investigators measured each child’s exposure to household allergens, conducted physical exams, tracked the children’s diets and reviewed their health histories. The team also analyzed blood samples at 1, 2, 3 and 5 years to measure the presence of food-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies to milk, eggs and peanuts. IgE antibodies to food proteins are immune chemicals released by the body that herald a food allergy. Based on blood test results, other clinical findings and symptoms, the investigators classified a child as allergic, possibly allergic, sensitive to a particular substance or not sensitive. Sensitization to a substance, signaled by the presence of IgE antibodies in the blood, renders a person more likely to develop allergic symptoms, but it is not sufficient to diagnose a true food allergy, which is always marked by clinical symptoms. In this study, the investigative team deemed allergic only those children who had both clinical symptoms and elevated IgE antibodies. This stringent criterion likely underestimates the true number of kids with food allergies, Wood adds. Overall, more than half (55 percent) of children in the study were classified as sensitive to milk, eggs or peanuts. Nearly 10 percent of them met criteria for a full-blown food allergy. The most common allergy was to peanuts (6 percent), followed by eggs (4.3 percent) and milk (2.7 percent). An additional 17 percent were classified as “possibly allergic,” a subgroup that had elevated IgE antibodies but no clear history of allergic reactions to peanuts, eggs or milk. Twenty-nine percent were classified as “sensitive but tolerant,” a group that included those with elevated IgE antibodies and a known history of consuming allergenic foods but who were able to tolerate the foods in question without allergic symptoms. Breastfed children appeared to have a higher risk for developing food allergies. Children living in houses with higher levels of endotoxin, a molecule released by certain types of bacteria, were less likely to have a food allergy. This latter finding, the investigators say, is consistent with the so-called hygiene hypothesis, which suggests that early-life exposure to certain microbes can play a protective role against asthma and allergies. Children with food allergies were also more likely to suffer from environmental allergies, wheezing and eczema, an allergic skin condition. Other institutions involved in the research included Boston University School of Medicine, the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Columbia University Medical Center in New York, and the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. The study was funded by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, under grant numbers NO1-AI-25496, NO1-AI-25482, HHSN272200900052C and HHSN272201000052I.

HopHeads are already picking winners this week with a correct prediction for the Thursday night game. Lets see what the rest of the week has in store for us... Oh, It looks like Fat Bottom and their pinup girls will be showing Flying Bison more than just their high heels! Brooklyn Brewery continues its streak by up ending divisional rival 3 Stars Brewing Co. Crescent City looks to turn its debut into a win against Tampa Bay Brewing Co. Deep Ellum remains strong this week as it travels east to take down Kind Beers. This is the closest game of the week and I have to think it is probably going to go the other way with all the injuries that Heavy Seas will have to work around. Great Lakes Brewing Co. continues to dominate and will be cellaring Brugge Brasserie and their sour beers. Schlafly will be challenged this week for sure; did you see how Hinterland Brewing dominated last week? Surly Brewing is looking to go undefeated and if this poll has any predictive qualities, they will. Can Brooklyn be beat? When they are playing for the Jets, maybe so, but I wouldn't bet against them this week. Pacific Coast Brewing Co is celebrating 24 years of brewing this week and so they have a lot of energy. Look for them to beat Intuition Ale Works, unless they show up hungover! East End Brewing Co. has been struggling lately and it looks like they will get their End handed to them, again, by Rivertown Brewing Co. And in the last game of this week it looks like The Windy City giant, Goose Island Beer Company is gonna blow Motor City Brewing Works outta town. In their well made American automobiles, of course. Fat Bottom will take their Pin-up Girls north to try and ground the Flying Bison after their great win last week. Another divisional rivalry but 3 Stars Brewing has their work cut out for them; Brooklyn Brewery is hot and on a winning streak. Crescent City Brewhouse debuts this week against divisional rival Tampa Bay Brewing Co. TBBC has been on a losing skid recently and I am sure they are looking forward to win this weekend. Deep Ellum Brewing is on the road this week and will be doing their best to turn last weeks loss into a rally call agains Kind Beers. Heavy Seas debuted last week with a win but Karbach Brewing did not. Injuries just may prevent Heavy Seas from winning this week. Great Lakes Brewing will be traveling this week to take on Indy-favorite Brugges Brasserie. Hopefully, Brugge will unleash their sour this week otherwise there is no way they can win against the GLBC's award winning line-up. Hinterland Brewery is on the road this week visiting Saint Louis' oldest and largest privately owned brewery. The Phoenix Ale Brewery makes the trip "up nort, dontcha know" to take on Surly in the climate controlled arena, otherwise known as "da dome". Brooklyn Brewery will be going head to head with divisional rival Harpoon Brewery this week. Harpoon is coming of a stunning loss last week and look for them to avenge the loss this week. Intuition Ale Works debuts this week as they travel west to take on Pacific Coast Brewing Co. I don't know what to expect from Intuition but look for PCBC to avenge last week's embarrassing loss. Rivertown Brewing Company debuts this week as they host divisional rivals East End Brewing Co. EEBC has been on a skid lately, much to this Steeler fan's chagrin. So look for a tough fought game as each brewery tries to stay out of the bottom half in the standings. Goose Island debutes this week as they host Motor City Brewing Works. MCBW has been in a skid lately; unfortunately, it doesn't look like it is going to get any better this week.

If that title is unfamiliar to you ... Well, there's a good reason for that. It's been more than a decade since this Richard Williams film was last available for purchase. On VHS no less. And to my knowledge, because of some copyright-related problem, "Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure" has never officially been transferred over to DVD. And evidently this same copyright-related issue is currently preventing this 84-minute-long movie from being broadcast on television. Wallace and Gromit return with a new short film Trouble At’ Mill.

I remember being shown a Raggedy Ann cartoon in grade school, so I had to look this up to see if it was the same one. Turns out I was thinking of The Pumpkin Who Couldn’t Smile, not this one. (Creator Johnny Gruelle's daughter) Marcella died at age 13 after being vaccinated at school for smallpox without her parents' consent. Authorities blamed a heart defect, but her parents blamed the vaccination. Gruelle became an opponent of vaccination, and the Raggedy Ann doll was used as a symbol by the anti-vaccination movement. I hope Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure follows this anti-vaccination plotline. "And that, boys and girls, is how smallpox was eliminated not through vaccinations, but through the healing light of Jesus Christ." Here are a couple of clips from the movie. ShockTilYouDrop.com is reporting that a direct-to-DVD animated feature based on Robert Kirkman's unlikely hit comic 'Marvel Zombies' may be in the work. The news comes "through the grapevine" so consider it a rumor at this point. No other details are revealed outside the notion that the project is in development.

Anyway, it's about a hyperactive little girl who is in a Honeybee troop, and gets into a lot of misadventures. However, it hits close to home for me because of her frienemy, Portia.

In news that will surprise noone, Jack Black told AAP while promoting Kung Fu Panda in Sydney earlier today that he was confident there would be a follow up: “My eight ball says signs point to yes.” Jack says he’d jump at the chance to be involved if “all the stars are aligned to make it. It’s easy for me, I just come in and do the acting voice, it’s those animators and directors that have to really make the sacrifice.” In much more surprising news however, Jeffrey Katzenberg stated that there could be up to FIVE more Kung Fu Panda movies if he gets his way. “There is a larger story here of which this is the first chapter. In the same way Shrek had five chapters from the beginning, this has six. Whether we get to tell those chapters or not isn’t something we determine, the movie-goers determine. It needs to be a big hit. It needs to be a blockbuster.” Which Kung Fu Panda is clearly on its way to become… Deservedly so since this timeless action comedy with heart marks a fresh departure for DreamWorks–so why spoil it, especially so early in its theatrical run, with the announcement of endless sequels? You may remember that Jeffrey Katzenberg stated four years ago that Shrek had been conceived from the beginning as a four-chapter story, later bumping up that number to five.

I'm thinking they might focus on a different member of the Furious Five. LaDracul wrote: I'm thinking they might focus on a different member of the Furious Five. Yeah, that's what I automatically assumed when I heard the announcement. I hope it's Melle Mel or Kid Creole. Save Grandmaster Flash for the finale. Mind-bogglingly BRILLIANT! 12 out of 10! A 4 minute clip of the aborted Buffy the Vampire Slayer animated series showed up on YouTube. I was excited about this show way back when it was in development. BtVS actors and writers + high school setting + no budget constraints = lots of potential for greatness, IMO. Even if it didn't rival the live action series in quality, I'm sure it still would have been fun! Oh well. The closest-knit friends of one of the world's most highly recognized array of children's programming, Bert and Ernie of Sesame Street, will soon be reinvented in a new medium for audience fascination. A conscientious one with an egg-shaped head and a lovable oaf, these two characters have delighted children for years with their inventiveness, creativity and capacity to turn the mundane into a world of imagination and adventure unlike ever before. The two Sesame Street characters, soon to be clay animated characters in their own television program, currently under the working title The Adventures of Bert and Ernie, are scheduled to hit the airwaves around the world by the end of next year.

If you don’t, ask Henry Sellick. For those who don’t know, Sellick is one of the top stop-motion animation directors in the world, having comfortably settled in a position somewhere between golden age masters like Ray Harryhausen, George Pal and Art Clokey and modern day masters like Jan Svankmajer, the Brothers Quay and Aardman Studios. It doesn’t take long to see he loves working in the genre that’s truly the oldest form of animation either. “[As a kid I was inspired by] The early Harryhausen, Jason and the Argonauts in particular,” Sellick reminisced over a telephone conference this weekend. “I also love the Seventh Voyage, the best cyclops that will ever be done. There was just this wonderful sense that Harryhausen's monsters were real, despite the sort of lurching quality they had, they had an undeniable reality to them. There was another guy over there in the Magic Kingdom who Sellick also hung out with. His name was Tim Burton. Like Sellick, Burton was a stop motion fan. More important, Burton had convinced Disney to finance two shorts using the process, Frankenweenie and Vincent. Burton got the initial idea to also do Nightmare Before Christmas there. Sellick remembers it well. “’Vincent’ was Tim's first stop motion film that he made with Rick Heinrichs,” Sellick recalled. “It had a striking look, bold design and was basically part of Tim's growth as an artist, which influence the look of Nightmare Before Christmas. The film would then take the next three years of Sellick’s life. Part of the process was finding enough animators familiar with stop motion. In an interview conducted a year ago, part of this problem was solved through hiring people who worked for Art and Joe Clokey, the creators of the last Gumby series. “Directing stop motion animation is actually a sort of combination of directing live action and 'regular' animation,” says Sellick. “We have real sets, real lights, real cameras. There is a costume department, a hair department and our puppets are the actors. Like regular animation it is a divide and conquer. It is all divided up into manageable pieces, edited in storyboards before the movie is made and then shot a frame a time like traditional animation. “There was a Gumby revival by Art Clokey in the 80s and a new TV series that followed, which attracted a lot of young stop motion animators to California. Many of the animators for Nightmare Before Christmas came from that group...because the Gumby project had been over for almost three years so we did not 'take' anyone. We [also] hired several ILM veterans to work on the original film however. Sellick also recalls that Disney itself was generally highly cooperative on the project. He recalled the Mouse Works had only one truly objectionable note, for the man with the Tear Away Face, which they thought was too terrifying for kids. Burton also only made some minor modifications.

Shocktillyoudrop has some clips from the Nightmare Before Christmas dvd thebutcher posted about. Including the one with Christopher Frakkin Lee reading the poem. IMAGI studios troubled Gatchaman remake now has a ten second clip. Last edited by TheButcher on Fri Jan 02, 2009 5:42 am, edited 2 times in total. MTV wrote: William Shatner will star as the voice of Santa Claus in Steven de Souza’s Rankin-Bass-esque animated “Gotta Catch Santa,” the filmmaker revealed, detailing a science-fiction fantasy plot which owes as much to quantum mechanics as it does to Christmas cheer. “You know the emails you always get around Christmas that explain why Santa Claus can’t really exist – not because there’s no such thing as Santa Claus – but because in order to carry that payload of toys on re-entry, the reindeers would burn up. And then there’s a formula that proves this. Or other messages say that the problem isn’t re-entry, but launch, and there’s a formula about the energy a healthy male reindeer would be able to produce?” de Souza asked. “Well, we start with a bunch of brainy kids kicking this idea around, and they stumble upon the actual method Santa uses – which involves quantum mechanics and a lot of dialogue that only William Shatner can say,” he continued. “And by attempting to get a photograph of Santa in order to win a contest or to prove his existence, they say, ‘We’ll just delay him for 10 seconds when he’s at our chimney.’ But we’re dealing with quantum physics here! It’s the end of the world as we know it only the kids and can save the holiday season by “joining up with Santa to stop an existential threat to our universe from entities that only an animator can provide because they’re too horrible to describe,” de Souza laughed. What kind of entities? Think “Frosty meets Cthulhu,” de Souza said. “Gotta Catch Santa” will air on a major network this Christmas. BuckyO'harre wrote: Gotta Catch Santa. I'm sold. This I've gotta see -- especially if they're doing it in the Rankin-Bass style.

These original pics were posted over at R8talk.com by the owner himself, a man going by the screen name “iains” from the UK. He admitted that a Verde Ithaca Gallardo Spyder was a near buy a while back, but instead opted to go for a white one. I can only assume the ALLURE of the GREEN ENVY was too much to handle and when he saw this one off JAVA GREEN AUDI R8 the temptation was just too strong to deny!!! Stumbling upon the sights of this car has got to be one of the coolest things I’ve seen this year so far. I am an EXTREME supporter of people and there love for GREEN exotics, my favorite being Verde Ihaca on the LP640. Thank you for all your labor on this web site. My daughter loves carrying out investigations and it’s really easy to understand why. We all learn all about the lively form you give great things by means of your web blog and therefore increase response from other ones on this concern plus our own daughter has been starting to learn a lot. Take pleasure in the remaining portion of the year. You’re conducting a pretty cool job.

Weight loss for some takes so long that it starts to seem like a façade. Reality hits even harder when shopping. Finding clothes that fit is a daunting task. Some people buy clothes because they fit rather than because they like them. Women begin to think that cute dresses are a preserve for petite ladies. Men begin to think that a tee can do for any occasion (Wrong! – if you are a man and you do this, you need to invest in a few shirts – just something different). Anyone can lose weight fast, and fit in the clothes he or she desires. Losing weight is not easy, you need discipline, motivation, and total dedication. To get that dream body, EAT right, and exercise. It’s not easy, but with the right motivation, you will get there. What do you do to get that motivation and measure your progress? Buy a dress or shirt that you love – a smaller size than you are – work out, eat right, and try it on after sometime. The aim of trying that pretty dress or nice shirt – you will be motivated to lose weight fast. Use a tape measure to measure your waist and see if you are getting there. You could also check your weight regularly to find out how far you are. Starchy and sugary foods stimulate the secretion of insulin. Insulin is a fat regulation hormone in the human body. When insulin reduces, fat gets out of the fat stores. The body now starts to burn the fat instead of the carbs. If you lower insulin in your body, the kidney shed excess water and sodium from your body. This helps reduce bloating in your stomach. With each meal that you take, try to include proteins, vegetables, and a bit of fat. If you take your meals this way, you will bring down your carb intake. Proteins include meats, fish, and eggs. For great vegetables, you can take broccoli, spinach, cucumber, cabbage, and lettuce. Fat sources include coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil, and butter. Do a few sit-ups, lift some weights, and do some planks. You can also do some cardio exercises like swimming, running, and walking. These exercises will help you lose fast.

The U.S. Supreme Court on May 29 declined to take a case that might decide if the death penalty is constitutional. In the Louisiana case, Breyer noted that Tucker was barely older than the 18-year-old threshold to be eligible for the death penalty and had an IQ of 74, —just above the level to be considered intellectually disabled — when he shot and killed his pregnant ex-girlfriend in 2008. In addition, he was sentenced in Caddo Parish, which renders a disproportionate percentage of the state’s death sentences.
