0.998004 | Defendants must, of course, be served according to the rules of the forum court. But when a servicemember is stationed in another country, they can only be served within the strictures of applicable international agreements. The Hague Service Convention is chief among the governing treaties, but no less important are individual Status of Forces Agreements (SOFAs), which govern access to U.S. installations by civilians and local authorities.
Herein lies the quandary, with several contradictory components. Unless the defendant has a discernible civilian address (that is, not located on a U.S. installation), standard methods of service will be unavailable.
Hague service is not available without an address. If a defendant lives in a barracks or other on-post* housing, then they simply don’t have an address. Of course, “1234 Eisenhower Drive” or simply “Building 2375” may be valid for telling friends where to gather for a social engagement, but the addressing system is most likely unknown to local authorities (both civil authorities and the post office). It has no legal effect, and can change by the simple act of a clerk.
Forget about serving them at the office, especially if “the office” is an artillery range. Even if a local judicial officer does gain access, those officers generally avoid serving anybody at work.
The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the use of Army and Air Force chains of command for civil purposes, and various Naval regulations likewise create insurmountable roadblocks. Urban myth advises that a plaintiff simply needs to ask a JAG (Judge Advocate General) office to effect service but this simply isn’t accurate.
So what is a plaintiff to do? Several options are available, although odds of success are lower than with service on a non-military defendant.
Wait. Simply hold onto the summons until the defendant returns from his tour of duty overseas, and serve him upon his arrival stateside. Of course, the court must be made aware of the hurdles to proper notice, so an order excusing non-service may be issued to protect the plaintiff from dismissal.
Request leave to serve via U.S. mail at his known APO or FPO (Army/Air Post Office or Fleet Post Office) address.** APO/FPO addresses are not tied to geography like a street address is. If a unit stationed in Germany is temporarily transferred to Kuwait, a soldier’s address may not change–or if it does, the APO staff in Germany will automatically forward his mail to the new address as a matter of course. In short, the soldier will get his mail.
If the defendant happens to live in civilian housing (“on the economy”) and his address can be ascertained, serve via traditional channels. This may come in different forms, so significant brainstorming is necessary.
Serving a G.I. isn’t as easy as serving other defendants, but it may still be possible with creative thinking. Call us and we can bat around some ideas.
* The author is an Army brat. An Army installation is referred to as a post, and it is painful to call it anything else. Not a fort, not a base, and certainly not a campus. With all respect to the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps, you’ll have to substitute your own terminology on this one. Post, base, installation… you get the idea.
** Use of APO/FPO mail or of U.S. military e-mail servers may run afoul of the Posse Comitatus Act. The issue has not been addressed in case law as of this writing.
Serving a Subpoena Abroad? Not so fast, counsel.
Subpoena, in Latin: “under penalty”.
Subpoena, in American English: show up or else.
It isn’t really Latin—Julius Caesar would look at you funny, because it’s not really a word. We made it up. But a subpoena is nonetheless a critical instrument in American legal practice.
Essentially, it is an order to produce or appear, and it carries significant coercive effect. Disregard it, and the consequences can be expensive. Refuse it without cause, and sanctions can make your life difficult. But all this presupposes that the recipient is subject to the jurisdiction of the court issuing it. Once it leaves its own jurisdiction, a subpoena becomes nothing more than a wish list—and a clumsily worded one, at that. A subpoena’s coercive effect is revived only by statute or by court order in the jurisdiction where it is to be served (domestication).
If it crosses state lines, say from Florida or Georgia to New York or Minnesota, domestication is fairly pro forma. But when it crosses an international boundary, it cannot regain its coercive effect.* It becomes a simple piece of paper and, legally speaking, is reduced to a mere request.
Practically speaking, the demanding syntax of a subpoena can serve to irritate the recipient and anger foreign legal authorities. Legally speaking, it is often fatal to its own objective. So what does a practitioner do to compel the evidence she needs from a third-party witness or custodian located abroad?
The simple answer: a Letter of Request. Unfortunately, the answer is the end of its simplicity. A request to compel production (testimonial or documentary) must be routed through the courts of the foreign country.
And you must understand that the Hague Service Convention does not apply to subpoenas. Rather, the Hague Evidence Convention governs the conveyance of requests to compel evidence. And that treaty is merely a procedural aid. It really doesn’t do a great deal for American lawyers seeking discovery. That is not to say it isn’t helpful—quite the contrary—but it is not substantive in any way, and it does not oblige foreign authorities to lend assistance.
Meticulous crafting of the request is critical, and that requires adherence to several cardinal rules… which we’ll be happy to tell you about when you call.
* One exception: a subpoena may be served on a U.S. citizen, national, or permanent resident pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1783 and Fed. R. Civ. P. 45. Such service is undertaken by U.S. consular officers.
Good old 12(b)(6). The Rolling Stones Rule. Failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted (I can’t get no Satisfaction).
It’s the defense litigator’s go-to basis for dismissal. Graceful, poignant, utterly classic.
Sure, the plaintiff was harmed. Sure, the defendant caused it. But there’s no law that says he’s liable for any wrongdoing. Kick it, your honor.
But when a defendant is in another country, 12(b)(6)’s lesser known neighbors are more helpful. And they should give pause to plaintiffs’ lawyers who don’t know what they’re doing.
Let’s say you’re in Germany. You’re an engineer at German-Cars-R-Us, and your company was involved in some pretty nasty stuff—lying to regulators, lying to customers, lying to shareholders. The story goes viral, and some guy in Kansas City who bought one of your cars six months ago now wants to sue you. Individually. Even though you didn’t have any involvement in the fraud, they’re throwing the book at everybody whose name was on a personnel list.
FedEx drops a packet on your desk (Hier unterschreiben, kumpel… sign here, pal). The guy in the next cubicle speaks English and, mercifully, he translates page one for you. Holy socks… it’s a summons to appear in a federal lawsuit in the Western District of Missouri. They filed the thing a few weeks ago, and now you have 21 days to answer!
You find a lawyer in Kansas City (danke, Das Google) who gets to work on the case right away. Fortunately, he speaks a little German, so you’re confident. You send him twenty grand, and he files an answer to the complaint. He litigates it, and you win. But you’re out twenty grand.
Had he known about the law governing service of process abroad, he would have seen the simplest way to make the claim go away, and for a whole lot less than $20,000.
What would I have done? I would have done nothing until the 91st day after the complaint was filed. Then, I would have moved for dismissal under Rules 12(b)(4), 12(b)(5), and 4(m).
Why 12(b)(4)? Because you don’t speak English. It is rather difficult to understand a summons in English if you only speak German—and the plaintiff didn’t send a translation. Your due process rights were ignored, so the process was insufficient.
Why 12(b)(5)? Because the plaintiff’s lawyer completely ignored the Hague Service Convention. Mail service (including FedEx) is ineffective in Germany, so service was insufficient. For that matter, it’s ineffective in any Hague country if the case is being heard in the 8th Circuit.
Why 4(m)? Because a plaintiff has 90 days to serve, or the claim has to be dismissed. Now, that deadline doesn’t apply to service outside the United States, but the safety valve doesn’t give a plaintiff unlimited time—a reasonable diligence standard still applies. If the plaintiff doesn’t even attempt proper service within the first 90 days, he’s out.
Bottom line—the plaintiff’s attorney was not only dilatory,* he also did it wrong. So wrong, in fact, that the case against you should have been dismissed sua sponte. Both sides have a malpractice claim against their lawyers, who should have come to one of my CLEs.
They could’ve been rock stars.

0.999742 | There were two carrots walking down the road, a big carrot and a little carrot. On the other side of the road they see their friend cabbage in his cabbage patch.
Big carrot says: "Let's go visit cabbage on the other side of the road."
Little carrot says: "But there is so much traffic here I'm afraid I might get run over."
Big carrot says: "Nonsense, just wait for a break in the traffic and run as fast as you can."
Big carrot sees a break in the traffic and runs over to cabbage. He then calls to is friend to try. Little carrot gets ready, sees a break in the traffic and runs across the road. Unfortunately there was a big truck coming and little carrot gets squashed in the middle of the road. Big carrot feels really bad and scoops his friend up and takes him to the hospital. The doctors perform emergency surgery.
After several hours the doctor comes out. "I have some good news and some bad news."
Big carrot says: "Ok doc, go ahead, I can take it."
The doctor says, "Well the good news is that your friend is going to live, but the bad news is he's going to be a vegetable for the rest of his life."

A woman hosted a dinner party for people from work and everyone was encouraged to bring their children. All during the sit-down dinner one co-worker's three-year-old girl stared at the man sitting across from her. The girl could hardly eat her food from staring.
The man checked his tie, felt his face for food, patted his hair in place, but nothing stopped her from staring at him. He tried his best to just ignore her but finally it was too much for him.
He asked her, "Why are you staring at me?"
The little girl said, "I just want to see how you drink like a fish!"

0.999998 | Has Susan been to France twice?
This English Language quiz is called 'Asking Questions' and it has been written by teachers to help you if you are studying the subject at elementary school. Playing educational quizzes is an enjoyable way to learn if you are in the 3rd, 4th or 5th grade - aged 8 to 11.
Who, why, what and when are all words used when asking questions. We ask questions without giving much thought to how we actually construct a question. In English, there are two main ways of forming a question: either by inverting the subject and the main verb or by the use of an auxiliary verb (a helping verb).
'He studies hard. - Does he study hard? (does is the auxiliary/helping verb).
One thing you must always remember when writing a question - the question mark at the end. You shouldn't have too many problems with this elementary school quiz.
Whenever you sneeze, you reach out to grab a tissue. However, tissues were invented for a different reason. Kimberly Clark is the company that invented the Kleenex tissue.
Before tissues, people used handkerchiefs. Men and women would carry a piece of cloth in their pocket or purse. They had these with them at all times in case they needed to wipe their nose and dab their eyes. Then the Kimberly Clark company invented tissues to be used to wipe off make-up. Sometimes, actors and actresses would use cream to wipe off their make-up. However, they needed something to wipe the cream off. That is why this company invented tissues.
Read the above information about tissues.
If someone presented this information to you in a speech, what question could you ask?
Which handkerchief is the most popular?
Who are some famous actors and actresses?
How did people begin using tissues as they are used today?
How many tissues are in a box?
Since this topic is about the history of tissues, this would be the best question.
Who is Kimberly Clark named after?
What was the first tissue made of?
What is the cream that actors and actresses use?
When was Kimberly Clark founded?
This question best applies to the topic.
What company invented the Kleenex tissue?
Kimberly Clark invented the Kleenex tissue.
For what reason did the company invent tissues?
Kleenex tissues were first invented for actors and actresses to wipe off their make-up.
What did people use before Kleenex tissues?
Handkerchiefs were used prior to tissues.
Read the above information about tissues. The comment below is made by a student.
The tissue actually has 2-3 layers of it.
What comment can you make to link to this comment?
I like to watch the ads about tissues.
I thought Japan invented the first tissue.
There are other brands of tissue than Kleenex.
Those layers are called plies.
This comment is about the first comment.
People liked to use tissues because you could throw them away.
Some tissues have lotion in them.
Tissues can come in different colors.
I don’t like the tissues with lotion in them.
People also like to use tissues as napkins.
This comment relates to the first comment.
What comment can you make to start a discussion about tissues?
There was a time when there was no toilet paper.
I know how to spell the word tissue.
The first tissue was invented in 1924.
We keep our box of tissues on the counter.
This would be a good comment in relation to the presentation.
Change the sentence below into a question.
Susan has been to France twice.
Has Susan been to France twice.
Susan has been to France twice?
Has Susan to France been twice.
The question is formed by simple inversion of 'Susan' and 'has'. DON'T FORGET the question mark!

Celebrating Alfred Russel Wallace with … a symposium of only straight white men?
Perhaps rather naively, I didn’t anticipate the amount of publicity our letter regarding the upcoming public Wallace Centennial Celebration would generate. I had hoped to start a discussion about the issues surrounding diversity and safety in STEM that were raised, and I’m glad to say that this has happened. I have had several very thoughtful and productive conversations with the event organizers and I can confidently and emphatically say that issues surrounding diversity and equality are very important to them. In various ways they’ve each shown this commitment, throughout their careers, through concrete actions.
I asked one of the organizers to help summarize the history of the event. Paraphrasing our discussion: In this specific case the original grant submission included women speakers (4 of 8 speakers) but for various reasons they were ultimately not able to participate. The event organizers wanted to host speakers who are not only excellent scientists and speakers but are also knowledgeable about Wallace and his legacy, which led to a narrow set of selection criteria and led to the original publicized lineup. The revised lineup includes two remarkable women, one an historian of science, and the other an evolutionary medicine specialist.
Update, 29 October: It’s been brought to my attention that the list of symposium speakers now includes Soraya de Chadarevian and Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, which suggests that the organizers are making some changes.
Update, 25 October: I’ve amended the headline of this post to better reflect, I hope, that what the letter and its signatories object to is not the inclusion of white men on the symposium panel, but the lack of inclusion of similarly accomplished folks from groups that are systematically underrepresented in science. As I note below, the panelists are highly accomplished, and appropriate for the Wallace Centennial—but the panel could include women as well without compromising the prestige or topicality of its membership.
2014 marks a century since the death of Alfred Russel Wallace, who is recognized as co-discoverer, with Charles Darwin, of evolution by natural selection. Appropriately, the University of California Los Angeles is holding a symposium of biologists and natural historians to celebrate Wallace’s life and work. Unfortunately, the panel of speakers chosen for the symposium doesn’t exactly reflect the diversity of humanity, or even humans who are biologists and natural historians. Although there are lots of very accomplished folks on the panel who will likely give interesting talks, they’re all straight (so far as I know) white men. That’s right, the Alfred Russel Wallace Centennial fails the gay bar test pretty spectacularly.
UK Resource Centre for Women in SET recently posted a study that found that only 12% of female late stage PhD students intend to pursue a career in academia.

0.998629 | If there's one piece of advice we hear often, it's that it is always good to read the fine print. Why should it be any different for a company's financial statements? If the income statement, balance sheet and statement of cash flow make up the core of a company's financial information, then the footnotes are the fine print that explain this core.
However, what is often not provided along with this wise advice is a set of instructions on exactly how to read a company's footnotes. This article will not only explain what footnotes are, but what they mean and how to use them to your financial benefit.
Pick up any financial report and you'll always find references to the footnotes of the financial statements. The footnotes describe in detail the practices and reporting policies of the company's accounting methods and disclose additional information that can't be shown in the statements themselves. In other words, footnotes expand on the quantitative financial statements by providing qualitative information that allows for a greater understanding of a company's true financial performance over a specified time period.
Footnotes information can generally be split into two different areas. The first deals with the accounting methods a company chooses to formulate its financial information, such as revenue recognition policies. The second provides an expanded explanation of important company operational and financial results.
This area, which tends to be at the beginning of the footnotes, identifies and explains a company's major accounting policies. These footnotes are broken into specific accounting areas (revenue, inventory, etc.), which detail a company's policy with regard to that account and how its value is determined.
For example, one of the most important financial measures is revenue. In the footnotes, you will often find a revenue recognition note, which describes how a company determines when it has earned its revenue. Due to the often complex nature of business operations, the point at which a sale can be booked (put on the financial statements) is not always clear cut. This section will give an investor valuable insight into when a company books revenue. For example, Ford Motor Co. recognizes a sale at the time that a dealership takes possession of a Ford vehicle.
There are two things to focus on when analyzing a company's accounting methods found in the footnotes. The first thing is to look at a company's accounting method and how it compares to the generally accepted accounting method and industry standards. If the company is using a policy that differs from others in the industry or one that seems far too aggressive, it could be a sign that the company may be trying to manipulate its financial statements to cover up an undesirable event or give the perception of better performance.
As an example of using revenue recognition at car company X, let's assume that instead of booking revenue upon ownership transfer, company X books the revenue when a car is produced. This strategy is far too aggressive, because company X can't ensure that dealerships will ever take possession of that car. Another example would be a magazine company that books all of its sales at the start of the subscription. In this case, the company has not performed its side of the sale (delivering the product) and should only book revenue when each magazine is sent to the subscriber.
The second item of importance to examine is any changes made in an account from one period to the next, and the effect it will have on the bottom-line financial statements. In the company X example, imagine the company switched from the delivery method to the production method. Booking revenue before goods are transferred would increase the aggressiveness of company X's accounting. The company's financial statements would become less reliable, because investors would not be sure how much of the revenue was derived from actual sales, and how much represented product that was produced but not delivered by company X.
It is important when tackling this area to first gain a basic understanding of the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) standards of computing financial information. This will allow you to identify when a company is not following this standard.
The financial statements in an annual report are supposed to be clean and easy to follow.To maintain this cleanliness, other calculations are left for the footnotes. The disclosure segment gives details about long-term debt, such as maturity dates and interest rates, which can give you a better idea of how borrowing costs are laid out. It also covers details regarding employee stock ownership and stock options issued, which are also important to investors.
Other details mentioned in the footnotes include errors in previous accounting statements, looming legal cases in which the company is involved and details of any synthetic leases. These types of disclosures are of the utmost importance to investors with an interest in the company's operations.
Another important focus when looking at the disclosure segment is what is left off of the financial statements. When a company is meeting accounting standards, the rules may allow it to keep a large liability off the financial statements and report it in the footnotes instead. If investors skip the footnotes, they will miss these liabilities or risks the company faces.
Although footnotes are a required part of any financial statement, there are no standards for clarity or conciseness. Management is required to disclose information "beyond the legal minimum" to avoid the risk of being sued. Where this minimum lies, however, is based on management's subjective judgment. Furthermore, footnotes must be as transparent as possible without harmfully releasing trade secrets and other pertinent information about things that give the company its competitive edge.
Another problem with the footnotes is that sometimes companies attempt to confuse investors by filling the notes with legal jargon and technical accounting terms. Be suspicious if the description is difficult to decipher—the company may have something to hide. If you see situations in which the company is writing only a paragraph on a major event or issue, or using convoluted language to skirt it entirely, it may be wise to simply move on to another company.
Informed investors dig deep, looking for information that others typically wouldn't seek out. No matter how boring it might be, read the fine print. In the long run, you'll be glad you did. | 2019-04-23T06:50:15 | https://www.investopedia.com/articles/02/050102.asp |
0.999508 | How does transaction confirmation work in bitcoin-qt? I suppose, client does not have addresses index with balance on each of them (because there is not such console/bitcoind commands). Looking through all of the blocks - it is too slow.
Transaction processing is a function of mining. Each time a block is found observed transactions become included in the block chain and get one confirmation. The Bitcoin protocol is designed to have an adjusting difficulty to ensure that blocks are not generated at a speed greater than that> This ensures the gradual distribution of new coins into the economy as well. So long story short this is the model that Bitcoin uses and it is one of the few shortcomings of performing transactions.
As transactions occur, the client tracks their effects on its own balances. If you add a new account, it will have to scan all unspent outputs to find any for that account. | 2019-04-22T20:39:16 | https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/18762/transaction-confirmation |

0.999877 | Who should be on the paper?
First law of authorship is that all authors are responsible about the content of the paper. This law has important implications whether you are the responsible author or a contributing author. If you manage the paper, it means that you must tell all co-authors that they are on the paper before submitting. If you contribute, it means you have to know what is in the paper.
The latest contribution is probably the strangest for you. Well, it is for us too, but we have to play by the rules of the game. We are creative to find funding, which sometimes requires to be flexible. For example, if your promoter is not the person who sponsored your scholarship, it would be odd for the funding body not to include this person in your papers.
As a first author, you are in charge managing of your paper. Since you are writing it from the start, discuss very early with your advisor and promoter (not always the same person, e.g. a post-doc may advise you on a daily basis) who should be co-author and the order of the authors on the paper.
Contact the potential co-authors immediately and ask them if they agree to be part of the paper. Discuss the contributions and the deadlines.
You might consider not doing this if you are unsure of the paper you are writing; however, you should always do it. Of course, some draft papers may not lead to anything but in most cases, involving co-authors will create the peer pressure that is so effective in pushing you out of your comfort zone.
Here are the responsibilities and rights of each co-authors according to their role. Note that responsibility does not mean doing it alone but instead keeping it on the todo list.
The first author is the person in charge of the paper. He/she manages the writing process and the contributions of everybody. His/her responsibility is to submit the paper. But before that, he/she must send the manuscript according to the agreed timeline to all co-authors that need to contribute to the text. He/she is also responsible for acknowledging funding and people having an indirect contribution. His/her right is to get feedback from the co-authors in due time provided he/she respected the deadline.
The promoter is officially the academic responsible of your work. He/she might not be your direct advisor (see next point) but is still the guarantor of the scientific soundness. Because of that, he/she has a veto on what you want to publish. However, since he/she also trains you to become an independent researcher, you might receive autonomy for some decisions. The promoter is responsible for suggesting co-authors as he/she has a better overview of the research being done. If you were not added to a paper which you thought you belonged, your supervisor is the person to talk to. The promoter is generally placed last if he was also your main advisor for the work (see next point). If you have more than one promoter, follow the same rule.
The advisor is the person who supervised you during the work. He/she is responsible for suggesting co-authors, providing suggestions and feedback in due time according to the timeline agreed upon with the first author. He/she has the right to be kept in the loop without chasing the first author. In our research groups, we want to acknowledge people’s real contribution. Therefore, he/she should be placed last even if he/she is not the promoter. Note, however, that another decision might be taken together with the promoter for specific cases, e.g. strategy of the group.
The co-authors are all other contributors as defined above. They have the responsibility to contribute and provide feedback according to the timeline agreed upon. At the same time, they have the right to be informed and to receive the manuscript early enough for a review. | 2019-04-26T12:49:08 | http://ristretto.black/the-authorship-manifesto/ |
0.969146 | The ACT government will introduce free, universal childcare for three-year-olds as part of its new strategy on early childhood education.
Education Minister Yvette Berry has revealed the government aims to offer 15 hours a week or 600 hours a year free to parents, based on recommendations from a national review released in February, but the details are yet to be ironed out.
Right now, only four-year-olds are offered free pre-school in the ACT, where childcare prices are the highest in the country.
In a recent discussion paper, the government estimated up to 20 per cent of children aged between one and four years were missing out on early education and identified cost as a key barrier.
"Over the coming months I will have a conversation with parents, the early childhood education sector, schools and the wider community about how, and therefore when, the government will be able to make this vital education opportunity universally available," Ms Berry said.
A roll-out of the expanded scheme will begin with children who have the greatest needs but funding is yet to be determined, a government spokeswoman said.
As a parallel, she confirmed the current scheme for four-year-old children cost the territory about $35.6 million a year.
While Minister Berry acknowledged the plan would come with a price tag, she stressed equitable access to early childhood education was crucial to future development.
"In their early years a child forms more than one million new neural connections each second," she said.
"All of the foundational learning that happens before a child reaches school seriously affects [their] achievement."
Last month, amid calls for a national scheme, NSW became the first state to announce universal access to pre-school for three-year-olds.
But the proposal was slammed by childcare groups who claimed it only applied to community preschools and so cut out the 80 per cent of families who use long daycare.
It is unclear if this criteria will also apply to the ACT model - still to be determined, according to the government spokeswoman.
"A preliminary review of overseas examples has occurred, with more detailed review to occur as the government undertakes detailed design and consultation," she said.
On the world stage, Australia falls well below the international average for investment in early childhood education, and just 15 per cent of three-year-olds attend pre-school, compared to an OECD average of 68.6 per cent.
Minister Berry said the ACT would keep pressure on the federal government to deliver long-term funding to the sector, but a spokeswoman said the plan was not in response to new national childcare subsidies rolled out this month.
Hailed as the most significant change to childcare in 40 years, the redesigned subsidy is means-tested and gives the lion's share to those on the lowest incomes.
Both parents will now have to be working, volunteering, studying or looking for work to qualify. | 2019-04-25T01:04:46 | https://www.theage.com.au/national/act/act-plans-to-introduce-free-universal-childcare-for-three-year-olds-20180730-p4zuf8.html |
0.999029 | And after a 19-hour stint this page is bowing out on the Mamadou Sakho signing.
If you've missed anything - check out all the completed deals here.
I think that signing was held up as they had to do post production on the announcement tweet.
Mamadou Sakho has joined Crystal Palace.
Who knows what has happened to Mamadou Sakho. I'm going to stick this out until 02:00 UK time though.
The fee to sign Danny Drinkwater is around £35m, while the move to bring his replacement Adrien Silva to the club will go through on Friday.
Chelsea signed Ngolo Kante for a fee in the region of £30m last summer, and have now paid more than that for Danny Drinkwater.
Who is the happiest set of fans from this deal?
SMS Message: As a Newcastle fan I'd like to point out two positives. 1) we've not sold our best player on deadline day. (Arfa, Caroll, Cabaye, Sissoko eg). 2) maybe with the inflated prices Ashley might realise he's out of his depth and sell. from Jack, York.

Paris St-Germain have signed Kylian Mbappe on a season-long loan from Monaco, with an option to make the deal permanent for a fee of £165.7m.
Should PSG sign the France international on a permanent deal, his contract will run until June 2022.
Any deal for the 18-year-old is likely to be eclipsed only by the 222m euros (£200m) PSG paid for Neymar.
"I really wanted to be a part of the club's project, which is one of the most ambitious in Europe," said Mbappe.
The delay in signing Mbappe permanently is reported to be so PSG can comply with Uefa's Financial Fair Play rules.
The teenager scored his first goal for France in their 4-0 win over the Netherlands in World Cup qualifying on Thursday to become his country's youngest goalscorer since 1963.
George Williams: At this rate Danny Drinkwaters still going to be having a medical when Chelsea go to the King Power on the 9th.
"Albion applied for an extension until 1am, that was granted but Vincent Janssen couldn't be tempted away from Spurs. The Seagulls came close with an agreement for Florin Andone at Deportivo La Coruna but that deal and a bid for Fiorentina's Khouma Babacar also came to nothing.
Even Barnet have gone home now.
Thoughts on Burnley's transfer window? Really not sure they have done enough. Strong squad but still some gaps- despite the promising start to the season.
Still with you awaiting Drinkwater anxiously, on Eurotunnel from Calais to Folkestone!

0.998826 | A Coeur d’Alene, Idaho native and World War II Veteran, Milton R. Stafford, passed away on Saturday, April 13, 2019, surrounded by his family at the Idaho State Veteran's Home in Lewiston, Idaho. Milt was born on Dec. 26, 1923, in the log cabin built by his grandfather, John Nettleton, who homesteaded Nettleton Gulch. How does one summarize the life of a man who lived and loved fiercely in a few short words? A man whose personality and laughter could fill a room when he walked in? Who took care of his community and its citizens because that was what you did? Whose work ethic was beyond reproach? He was our hero and taught his family by example.
Milt was always in the surrounding forests of Coeur d’Alene and his love of the woods, hunting and fishing remained true to the end of his life. He could never see enough timber and always wanted to know what was on the other side of the next mountain. In his later years, dad would ask us to take him on a drive-about to check out timber. We were dad's sidekicks — riding shotgun in the woods, stream fishing and hiking the fields while bird hunting. Julie shot her first deer with dad at her side. She amazed him with such a good shot that he swore the deer died of fear before the bullet hit. In his last days, dad could still tell a good huntin' story. We asked him one night, "how many elk do you think you bagged, Dad?" Without hesitation, he said, “12 for sure and I know there were a few more."
Milt's career in timber began at age 17, working at Atlas Tie Company, which later became Idaho Forest Industries. Milt was an athlete. His game was baseball. From high school ball to playing in the minors for Coeur d’Alene Lakesiders as catcher and first baseman, Milt remained in the game as a player, coach and fan. Dad could quote the stats for his beloved Detroit Tigers from the time he started playing high school baseball. We conference-called with dad and mom during the World Series, always cheering for his beloved American League team. Milt was also an accomplished golfer and bowler. He followed his uncle, Herb Nettleton, one of the founders of the Coeur d’Alene Public Golf Course, into the sport that afforded Dad many years of fun and winning competitions. Mom later joined him in the sport and together with their friends, "The Dirty Dozen" they golfed courses from here to Oregon and Canada.
In 1942, Milt was drafted into the US Army. He served his country in battles in Africa, Sicily and Italy. Over the years, dad shared a story or two from his WWII scrapbook. He would bring many of the pictures to life in his stories. We now know that in actuality, many of those stories were of some of the good times Dad and his comrades etched out during the horrors of battle. The truth of the horrors came out in the last few months of dad's life as his mind retreated and the stories were at the forefront. There is a reason men and women from his era are called "The Greatest Generation."
Milt was preceded in death by wife, Donna; his father and mother, Clyde and Hannah Stafford and his brother, Bill. Milt is survived by daughters, Lynn (Harry) Lauer and Julie (Chris) DeBarbrie; brother, Robert and sister, Betty (Jim) Glaspie; grandchildren, Brian (Lara) Lauer, Kirk (Angie) Lauer, Trevor (Misty) DeBarbrie and Silky (Ryan) Johnson; great-grandchildren, Chase (Rachel) Stoltey-Lauer, Mitchell Lauer and Shay DeBarbrie; great-great-granddaughter, Lucy Johnson and Everlee Stoltey-Lauer and step-great-grandsons, Wyatt and Tucker Gibbar. Also surviving Milt are his beloved nephews and nieces and dear friends.
For the past two years, Milt lived at the Idaho State Veterans Home in Lewiston, Idaho. There are no words to justly express the gratitude we have for the staff and caregivers who loved and cared for Milt.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial donation to the Kootenai Humane Society. Dad always had a beloved dog at his side. Even in the war, he adopted a stray who stayed with him until his return stateside.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, April 20, 2019, at English Funeral Chapel in Coeur d'Alene, ID. A viewing will be held from 10-11 a.m. followed by funeral service at 11 a.m. Burial will be held at Forest Cemetery directly after the services. | 2019-04-23T12:12:52 | https://www.englishfuneralchapel.com/notices/MiltonMilt-Stafford |
0.999999 | Abstract: Style transfer usually refers to the task of applying color and texture information from a specific style image to a given content image while preserving the structure of the latter. Here we tackle the more generic problem of semantic style transfer: given two unpaired collections of images, we aim to learn a mapping between the corpus-level style of each collection, while preserving semantic content shared across the two domains. We introduce XGAN ("Cross-GAN"), a dual adversarial autoencoder, which captures a shared representation of the common domain semantic content in an unsupervised way, while jointly learning the domain-to-domain image translations in both directions. We exploit ideas from the domain adaptation literature and define a semantic consistency loss which encourages the model to preserve semantics in the learned embedding space. We report promising qualitative results for the task of face-to-cartoon translation. The cartoon dataset we collected for this purpose will also be released as a new benchmark for semantic style transfer.
TL;DR: XGAN is an unsupervised model for feature-level image-to-image translation applied to semantic style transfer problems such as the face-to-cartoon task, for which we introduce a new dataset. | 2019-04-18T20:53:08 | https://openreview.net/forum?id=rkWN3g-AZ |
0.998705 | Per federal and state law, CUSD is required to have an Internet filter in place to block inappropriate or harmful materials from students. No Internet filter is perfect: just as many sites "sneak through" the filter even though they are inappropriate, many sites are also blocked that have significant educational value (and are appropriate for our educational community).
When you believe that a educationally valuable and appropriate website is being blocked on our district network, please complete the CUSD Website Unblocking Request form. This site will be examined by district staff, and if it is deemed appropriate, it will be unblocked as quickly as possible.
There's a great (and totally appropriate) website that I've read about ... why it is blocked on our network?
Our filter works by putting websites into categories, and then those categories are blocked or unblocked for different authorized users on our network. While the district can decide which categories to block, the categorization of specific websites is done entirely by our filtering company without district input. With millions of websites on the Internet, the only way for us to know if a website should be unblocked is to submit an unblocking request.
Even if a website does not contain objectionable content, it may use so much bandwidth that it affects the performance of our network for all district users. In these cases, even websites that are not normally blocked by the filter may be manually blocked by IS.
A website that I used yesterday without any problems is now blocked today. Why did this happen?
Our web filtering company will occasionally recategorize websites without notifying us. If the website's new category is being blocked, the website will be blocked when the category is changed. Because we cannot possibly know when all of these category changes are made, we rely on teachers and staff to submit unblocking requests when this happens. If the site was previously unblocked, be sure to mention that when submitting your request.
Keep in mind that just because a website isn't accessible doesn't mean it's blocked. There may be issues with our network or even with the website itself that may be causing the site to not load properly. Be sure to verify that the site is really being blocked by our filter before submitting an unblocking request (a good way to check is to try to load the site on your smartphone using your cellular data).
I want my students to build a website for a class project, but they can't use SchoolWires and I can't find any online website builders that aren't blocked for students. What should I do?
Unblocking online website builders for students is problematic, because obviously anyone can use them to put content on the web, and that content may or may not be inappropriate. However, we have taken steps to make using one of the more popular website builders more accessible for teachers and students.
Weebly and all websites ending in weebly.com are currently unblocked for teachers only. Teachers also have the ability to sign up and use a Weebly for Education account at education.weebly.com. Once you create a Weebly for Education account, you can then create student accounts ... and once your students each have a student account, they will be able to build their site by logging on at students.weebly.com, which is unblocked for students. This setup allows us to unblock the part of Weebly that students would need to build a site while blocking inappropriate content that might be on other Weebly sites, and also makes it easier for you as the teacher to manage your students' sites. | 2019-04-23T06:31:05 | https://www.cusd80.com/websiteunblocking |
0.999873 | What are the problems of IKEv1 aggressive mode (compared to IKEv1 main mode or IKEv2)?
As far as I understood the problem, the difference between IKEv1 Aggressive and Main Mode is how the hashed PSK is sent.
Of course, the PSK itself is never sent to the other side as both sides need to prove to each other that they know the PSK and if one side was sending it to the other one, of course, the other one will now know it. Instead, each side calculates a hash value out of several session related values and the PSK, and sends this hash to other side which is also able to calculate the same hash using the same session values and its own PSK. If the PSK used on both sides was the same, the hashes will match. The way how initiator and responder calculate that hash is slightly different, of course, so one side cannot simply send back the hash it received from the other side as that would also prove nothing. Yet, all values used to calculate the hash must be values that the other side will know just from the data of the current or previous exchanged packets, except for the PSK that each side must simple know.
Main Mode first performs a DH Key Exchange, resulting in secure key on both sides. After that has happened, all communication between both sides is always encrypted and thus not readable by an attacker who is only able to capture traffic between those two sides. The PSK hash is transferred after the key exchange, that means the calculated hash is already encrypted. Also some of the session values required to calculate that hash are sent in the same packet at the hash itself, so these values are also encrypted. An attacker who can just read interchanged traffic will not be able to see the hash, nor will he be able to get all the session related values required to even calculate it. He first had to break encryption or the DH Key Exchange.
Aggressive Mode on the other hand, sends the hashed PSK together with the DH Key Exchange payloads, as well as all the values required to calculate the hash in the very first responder packet and this packet cannot be encrypted because the key exchange has not yet completed. So an attacker, who can just read interchanged traffic, will get the unencrypted hash and also has access to all values that are required to calculate it, except for the PSK itself, of course. Now all that an attacker has to do is brute forcing the PSK, which can be very easy, if it is a poor PSK that is either very short, very simple or cannot stand up to a dictionary attack.
A man-in-the-middle attack is not required for this attack scenario as you are not trying to break the key exchange, you are trying to guess the PSK and you can do so "offline", as you have all the other values required for calculation and a hash that will tell you when you've found the right one. To perform the same attack on a Main Mode connection, you must perform a man-in-the-middle attack which means it's not enough to just see the traffic, you must be able to capture, manipulate and then forward the traffic to break yourself into the DH Key Exchange in realtime. Only then you will get an unencrypted version of the hash and the other values required to calculate it. While also possible, that's a lot harder than just sniffing some outgoing traffic somewhere.
Of course, it all depends on the strength PSK. If your PSK is 64 totally random alphanumeric characters, well, good look brute forcing that. Winning the same lottery ten times in a row is probably more likely than guessing that PSK and trying all possibilities will need more time than our sun is going to exist. The problem is rather that a lot of people don't even understand what a PSK is and consider 1234 secure enough.
Summary: Aggressive Mode is not really less secure than Main Mode. Both can be broken and both can be broken by the same attack. The difference is only, to get the values required for such an attack, it's enough to be able to sniff some traffic in Aggressive Mode (just sniffing two packets is enough), whereas in case of Main Mode you must perform a man-in-the-middle attack on the DH Key Exchange to even get the required values to make the attack possible. Once you have the value, it's equally hard to guess the PSK.

0.999999 | After viewing a lot of articles, I found an English concept that we do use in everyday life. I am not sure for what I found is correct and I hope somebody could validate the concept for me.
I found out that whenever you try to explain the current fact, present tense can always be used. Following is the example I use to elaborate my point.
A) During that trip, I found out who I really am.
B) During that trip, I found out who I really was.
I found out that the sentence A above is a valid sentence because it indicates what you found out about yourself and who you think you really are in life! In other words, sentence A is used when you try to explain to other people who you really are or what kind of people you are in life. Sentence A never expires so present tense can always be used.
However, for sentence B, it is only used for your to explain what you found out in the past for who you were but you no longer are now in life. Sentence B simply describe the things that expired in the past.
Frank: I took a trip to Europe after I got divorced with my first wife. That was the time where I found ut who I really am. I found out that I am not a family man who would spend his weekend with his family and accompany his wife to her shopping spree. I found out that I really love my job and I would spend more than 12 hours a day for my job. In other word, I am a workaholic. I think that is the reason why my first wife left me. However, that is who I am and what God made me to be. I just hope that I could find a woman who could understand me and willing to marry me for being who I am.
Is the above statement I write correct? Is my concept correct?
She says that the earth is round.
I admit that I am tired.
So some of your understanding ('Sentence A never expires so present tense can always be used') seems accurate, and some (X 'Sentence B simply describes the things that expired in the past') does not.
Thank you, Mister Micawber, for your patient reply. I am a stubborn man who didn't read through the answer you gave me and repeatedly reasked the same type of question I had asked before. However, I think having a time break for me to calm down and to rethink what I asked helped me a lot in understanding how the English people think in thier own language. Thank you for showing me the new way of thinking in English. | 2019-04-19T23:07:43 | https://www.englishforums.com/English/AGrammarConceptIFound/nmnr/post.htm |
0.99614 | I've lifted this image from a series - A Love Letter to Afghanistan - by Simon Norfolk that popped up on my news feed today. These are unsurprisingly stunning photographs by a truly terrific, engaged photographer. What is slightly surprising is that the photo essay appears here at The Financial Times.
"What do the U.S. government and Silicon Valley already have in common? Above all, they want to remain opaque while making the rest of us entirely transparent through the capture of our data. What is arising is simply a new form of government, involving vast entities with the reach and power of government and little accountability to anyone."
Rebecca Solnit, who as I have said here numerous times, is among our brightest, most insightful public intellectuals, has a new book. You can find it here. This week I used my first trip to Literati, the new independent bookshop in Ann Arbor to pick up a copy. So, while I have the book, I've not read it yet. You can find an interview with Solnit here at NPR. And you can find an even more recent offering - an essay dissecting the insidious usurpations of high-tech corporations in Silicon Valley. For Solnit, San Francisco - the city were she lives - is like the canary in the mine shaft. That said, her lament is not just for the ways money and privilege and cluelessness are undermining life in that city. At a more general level Solnit reminds us, as in the passage I lifted above, of Foucault's warning that visibility is a trap.
Among the persistent difficulties for photography and photographers has been the task of coordinating and disseminating large scale projects. The (in many ways misleading) exemplar here is the FSA. Among contemporary photographers some superstars - here I think of Sebastião Salgado for instance - have the wherewithal to spend extended periods pursuing a project and no worries about exposure once it is complete. Others, like Shahidul Alam spend immense amounts of time and energy creating the institutional foundations for documentary and photo-journalistic work in the developing world.Those are two obvious examples. This story at The British Journal of Photography identifies four other - quite promising - efforts to coordinate groups of photographers on joint projects across Europe and North America.
This You Tube video contains a longish speech Greenwald has given regarding journalism, The Guardian, the NSA & Edward Snowden. A transcript of his speech is available here.
"You can be a journalist who is an advocate and advances a political point of view. Or one who remains politically agnostic. Both are legitimate. But what really matters is the information that enters the public sphere, its validity, how it is presented, and any debate it provokes. Not who put it there in the first place, or even why they did it."
My friend Michael Shaw forwarded a link to this smart commentary by John McQuiad at Forbes (of all places) on the more or less hysterical reaction in the mainstream press to Glenn Greenwald's role in breaking the NSA surveillance story. The commentary is mis-titled "Why Glenn Greenwald Drives the Media Crazy." McQuaid actually does not do more than document that Greenwald does drive them nuts. He never gets around to telling us "why."
My take is that most journalists in the U.S. play the role of stenographer to talking heads from (mostly center-to-right wing) "intellectuals," business mouthpieces, and government officials. And if that is what it means to be a journalist, then Greenwald surely is not one. But, that is hardly a defensible conception of "journalist." In any case, the conclusion to the piece (quoted at the top) is just right. The enterprise of policing the boundaries of journalism is a sideshow. The mainstream media ought to be concerned less with professing to report news from some fantasy world of detachment and objectivity and more with figuring out what is going on in the world and letting the rest of us know. The story here is about widespread, secret government surveillance of regular citizens.
I am, under the best of circumstances, a mediocre-to-poor pool player. But here at ICPSR summer camp in Ann Arbor I demonstrate this fact in public. I rarely even hold a cue more than a couple of times a year. You can put the blurriness of the image down to my friend Ryan Bakker having had, perhaps, a beer too many. He snapped the photo. In any case, it is midnight and I am home in time to avoid turning into a pumpkin. Meanwhile my companions are lining up to sing karaoke.
Here is a new release that should be really terrific. Trio 3 are each incredibly accomplished on their own. I posted on them here once before. In the past they've re augmented their releases with the nearly incomparable pianist Geri Allen. This time they've invited the nearly incomparable pianist Jason Moran to join in. Now to track down a place to actually buy the CD!

Just so, for reasons Hickey elaborates. And here at WaPo is a clever demonstration, via pie charts, of why they are particularly problematic.
One of my FB friends - Linda Ferrari from Photo Berlin - sent me a link to this intriguing project Wall On Wall by Kai Wiedenhoefer. The project is meant to use the Berlin Wall as a space for exhibiting large format images Wiendenhoefer has made of other places - in this instance the border fence on the U.S.-Mexico border. There is a Kickstarter campaign under way to underwrite the enterprise.
It seems to me that this project prompts serious thought about a theme I have pursued here pretty regularly - the diverse political uses of walls, the nature of borders, the politics of distinction and difference. Keep an eye on it!
A couple of reports on Gezi Park that offer important reminders for political theorists. The first from the BBC addressed the uses of humor in politics. Here there is a paper by Elizabeth Spelman ("Anger the Diary") that contrasts the distinct impact of anger, which empowers the aggrieved, and humor, which deflates the pretensions of the powerful. And, of course, this argument subverts the dichotomy between rationality and the emotions (see, generally, Amelie Rorty) - the connections between rationality and emotions are various. The second - here - is from Michael Kimmelman at The New York Times who underscores (among other things) both Hannah Arendt's claim that the exercise of freedom presupposes public space and Jim Scott's quasi-anarchist arguments about resistance to regimentation of (among other things) space.

The Obama administration is speaking out on the violent official response to political protests in Turkey. And they are right to do so. Here is the series of images encapsulating that response.
The image depicts Ceyda Sungur being pepper sprayed - unprovoked - by a police officer in Gezi Park, the central locus of protest in Istanbul. You can find some background on the image here at The Guardian. More on the protests below. But this image does nothing so forcefully as recall images (like, for instance, this and this) of various American law enforcement officers spraying Occupiers across the country. So, first it is necessary to remind officials of the Obama administration of the coordinated, violent campaign waged against Occupy protesters in various cities here in the United States. As I have mentioned here before, there is ample evidence that that campaign was supported (perhaps actively coordinated) by Federal law enforcement agencies. In particular, Kerry's comments on the importance not just of free association but the right to assemble underscore just how anemic those freedoms are here at home.
Meanwhile the protests in Turkey has generated bunches of commentary from intellectuals of various sorts. Since most Americans no less than nothing about politics abroad, and the rest of us don't know nearly enough, perhaps a little digest will help! Economist Dani Rodrik, Nobel Prize winning novelist Orhan Pamuk, political theorist Seyla Benhabib, economist Daron Accemoglu . . . I will add more as they become available.
Update (6/6/13): Here is a commentary by Bahar Leventoglu, one of our successful PhD alums who, in addition, has herself waged a long, successful political-legal campaign for basic women's rights in Turkey - details here.
Yesterday evening I came across this story/review in The New York Times of a new edition of a hitherto unpublished piece by James Agee. The book* consists in the original piece or reportage Agee did on assignment for Fortune magazine. The piece never appeared there, but eventually became the text - accompanied by photographs by Walker Evans - of Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. The new edition reproduces some of Evans's images too. While all this is interesting intellectually, it is especially nice for me to see that the editor of the book is John Summers, a former History PhD student here at Rochester. Actually John's adviser was my colleague Robb Westbrook who regularly sends really smart students like John my way. In any case, John wrote his thesis (an intellectual history of C. Wright Mills), taught Social Studies at Harvard for a half dozen years, published a collection of his own essays**, edited one by Mills*** and, inexplicably to me, had zero success in landing a permanent academic job.
I'd lost touch with John amidst the thankfully receding turmoil of my own life, but the story in The Times indicates that he has acquired, reorganized, and now is editing The Baffler. You can find interviews with John here and here explaining what they (the journal is something of a collective undertaking) are up to. This is the sort of publishing venture you should support - not just because it leans left, but because little magazines like The Baffler sustain a robust political, intellectual and cultural ecology - so subscribe if you can.

0.999997 | How does one defend a constitutional theory that's out of the mainstream? Critics of originalism, for example, have described it as a nefarious "Constitution in Exile," a plot to impose abandoned rules on the unsuspecting public. This framing is largely mythical, but it raises a serious objection. If a theory asks us to change our legal practices, leaving important questions to academics or historians, how can it be a theory of our law? If law is a matter of social convention, how can there be conventions that hardly anybody knows about? How is a constitution in exile even possible?
This objection is overblown. Legal rules don't always directly reflect common agreement; they can also reflect those agreements indirectly, through conventions that operate at a higher level of abstraction. (We can have social agreement that we're bound by the Internal Revenue Code, even though we don't all agree on -- let alone remember -- everything the Code requires.) So long as we share certain conventions that lead to unconventional conclusions, out-of-the-mainstream theorists can accurately claim to describe our own legal system rather than a foreign or invented one that they hope to impose. The theorists' job is to identify shared premises and to show that they really are shared, even in the face of widespread disagreement at the level of conclusions.
In any case, if this kind of objection did have force, it wouldn't be a problem just for out-of-the-mainstream theories like originalism. Virtually no modern legal theory accepts every change in constitutional practice as actually changing the Constitution. Because history moves at its own pace, any theory with meaningful conditions for legal change will often be violated in practice. In other words, any Constitution worth its salt will spend a good bit of time in exile. | 2019-04-23T12:55:22 | https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2365562 |

I think I can sum this thing up in one sentence: Holy Christ, I hate Cameron Diaz.
I can't remember the last movie I saw with her in it, but she started annoying the hell out of me about 15 minutes in (and to be honest, I'm surprised it took that long). I'm not too big on Tom Cruise either and the deadly combination of both of them didn't work out too well.
Lots of other problems with the movie too, but that's beside the point.
About halfway through, I'd had enough. I couldn't leave, so I did the next best thing. I took a nap. It was way better than the movie. I'm just kind of pissed that I paid eight bucks for it. | 2019-04-22T16:29:57 | http://www.trevorhale.com/2010/06/knight-and-day.html |
0.998469 | What Are Grounds for Divorce in North Carolina?
By New Year's Day, many couples have decided that it is time for a divorce. Some couples have known throughout the whole holiday season that they were going to separate, and they were only counting the days until January 1. In other cases, as people evaluated their relationships in light of the New Year, they have realized that it is time to part ways. This makes January perhaps the busiest month out of the year for divorce lawyers. But just because you may be emotionally and mentally ready for the divorce, this does not necessarily mean that you are legally ready for it. To get a divorce in North Carolina, you must first meet a residency requirement, and there must also be grounds for (a legal reason for) the divorce. Keep reading to learn if you are ready to start this process.
To fulfill North Carolina's residency requirement, at least one spouse has to have lived in North Carolina for the past six months. Then they would have to file for the divorce in that county where they have been living. When filing for the divorce, a legal reason must be provided. In North Carolina, you can get a fault-based divorce, where the divorce is being blamed on one spouse's "marital misconduct". These grounds for divorce include adultery, abandonment, and domestic violence. Other grounds include one spouse cruelly forcing the other out of the house, emotional abuse, and substance abuse.
But not all fault-based divorces stem from marital misconduct. Incurable insanity could also be a legal reason for a divorce. Incurable insanity refers to when a mentally ill spouse has to be cared for in a medical facility, a confinement that has lasted at least three years before the other spouse can file for divorce. Certain medical professionals would have to provide sworn statements that the spouse has incurable insanity.
Can you get a no-fault divorce in North Carolina? Yes. North Carolina is both a fault and a no-fault state. Sometimes it will be best for a spouse to seek a fault-based divorce, but in other cases, a no-fault divorce will be more suitable. This type of divorce means that a spouse feels that the marriage is beyond repair, that it is irretrievably broken. The spouses do not have to agree on this assessment of the marriage; only one spouse must think the marriage is over. Before you can file for this type of divorce, there has to have been a continuous year of separation, one straight year of living apart, of no longer living as a married couple.
If you are looking to get a divorce, or need to learn more about the divorce process, then you need to find the best divorce attorney possible. This complex legal procedure will deeply affect just about every aspect of your life. You do not want to entrust your future to a novice lawyer, much less an inadequate online form. Find the excellent representation you deserve at Hopper, Hopper & Mulligan, PLLC, PLLC.

0.999999 | Breaking Into The 'Department Of Mad Scientists' What happens when scientific research borders on science fiction? Michael Belfiore, author of the new book The Department of Mad Scientists, talks about the bizarre projects happening behind the scenes at DARPA -- the secretive research arm of the Department of Defense.
What happens when scientific research borders on science fiction? Michael Belfiore, author of the new book The Department of Mad Scientists, talks about the bizarre projects happening behind the scenes at DARPA -- the secretive research arm of the Department of Defense. More information.
If, by some strange coincidence, you happen to be reading this sentence on the Internet, you can thank a small, somewhat secretive division of the Pentagon called DARPA. For 50 years, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has helped create innovations in technology that match the wildest dreams of science's top minds.
As it goes with such advanced research divisions of the government, it was also off limits to reporters until Michael Belfiore managed to get behind DARPA's doors. Belfiore has a new book called The Department of Mad Scientists.
Belfiore tells Guy Raz that DARPA was launched in 1958, in the aftermath of the Soviet launch of Sputnik. He says the Eisenhower administration originally wanted to create a large bureaucratic institution — something like what NASA eventually became — but wanted something they could put into effect much faster.
"The idea was to get a bunch of people in a room and get them cooking up ideas for defeating the Soviets in space," Belfiore says.
When NASA took over the space race, ARPA — the "D" wasn't added until 1972 — turned its focus to areas like information technology. ARPA invented the precursor to the Internet and worked on speech recognition techonology, GPS, and lasers.
At least, they worked on the concepts. "They don't have any of their own laboratories. They just have people coming up with the ideas," Belfiore says. "Then they go out into the field and they find people at universities, at private companies who can actually put those ideas together."
In 2007, Belfiore witnessed the fruits of DARPA's outsourced inventive streak, a race between cars that drove through city streets, stopping at street signs, signaling turns, and staying within the speed limit, all without human drivers behind the wheel.
"The idea is that they wanted to develop cars that could drive themselves through war zones so we don't have human drivers at risk," Belfiore says.
Competitors included MIT and Cornell as well as General Motors and Volkswagen. DARPA's arrangement with those auto companies means that some of the technology they developed might have already made its way into your driveway.
The institutions they hire "have the right to develop these things on their own and market them to the public," Belfiore says.
"You can have a car that can sense an impending collision and warn a driver of it. Or perhaps even actually automatically swerve your vehicle away from a potential accident," Belfiore says.
As befits a shadowy government agency, not everything DARPA invents is quite so cuddly. In fact, Belfiore says he's sure that some of the work they do is "quite nasty." He can't be certain, he says, because "about 50 percent, I'm told, of what DARPA is doing is off limits to any outsider."
But Belfiore got just a glimpse of some of the potentially "nasty" technology while he was inside DARPA's labs. "They're working on bullets that can guide themselves," Belfiore says. Also in the works — robotized insects that could be used as tiny unmanned vehicles.
"They have a philosophy that unless something is so out there that a lot of people think it's impossible, it's probably not worth working on as a project," Belfiore says.
But DARPA's mission isn't science fiction. The way Belfiore sees it, the agency is needed as much today as it was in the '50s.
"This is a time, I think, that we're living in that's analogous to that time in the late '50s when we perceived that threat from the Soviets, that threat from outer space. We're facing global warming, we're facing energy reserves that are controlled by hostile countries," Belfiore says. "These are the sorts of problems that DARPA is working on." | 2019-04-20T15:41:05 | https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122148551 |

0.999898 | For sites that integrate with a remote database, you can specify whether users in a specific role should have their login credentials authenticated against the remote database, or against Finalsite's own cache of usernames and passwords. In some cases, users with more than one role applied to their account ("Parent" and "Alumni," for instance), those roles may be set to authenticate against different databases. This article will explain how to handle such situations, and how conflicts are resolved.
You can set which database is queried when a user logs in at the role level in Constituent Manager.
Open Constituent Manager and click the "Settings" button at the upper-left, then select the second menu item, "Constituent Roles"
Find the dropdown menu labeled "Authorization." This menu will be populated with any integrated databases configured to work with your site, as well as "Finalsite"
Continuing the above example, imagine a single user who's assigned to both the "Parent" and "Alumni" roles. The "Parent" role is configured to authenticate against an integrated remote database, while "Alumni" constituents are authenticated to the finalsite cache of user credentials. When our dual-role user logs in, which database is used to check their credentials?
The answer is: both of them. The username and password will be looped over both authentication methods based on the authentication sequence that's set on each of the databases. If the first database checked authenticates the user, then the process stops and the user is logged in. If the first database doesn't authenticate the user (either because it doesn't have a record for that person, or just because the username/password do not match stored records), then the system will check the next database on the list. If that one fails, it proceeds to the next database and so on, until either the user is authenticated, or all databases are checked and none pan out. You can control the order in which the various databases are checked by using the "Sequence" setting in the Integrated Services Manager (see below).
Find the field labeled "Authentication Sequence" and enter a number from 1-99. Be sure to use a different number for each separate integration!
When multi-role users login, the integration with the lowest sequence number will be queried first. If the user's credentials cannot be found in that database, the system will query the integration with the next-highest number, until the credentials are authenticated, or the user login fails on all databases.
Note: "Finalsite" is set by default to be authentication sequence 99. The first integration added to finalsite will automatically be assigned a sequence number 1. If you then add another authorization type it would be assigned authorization sequence 2, and so on. You can modify the authorization sequence for "Finalsite" if you wish, but we do not recommend changing it from the authorization sequence of 99. The remote authentications should be checked first, as this is where most authentications will be successful.
This cascade from one database to another will only occur if the user who's logging in is assigned to more than one role. If they are a single role constituent, then their credentials will only be checked against the authorization type specified for that role (see above). The login process will not cascade like it would for multi-role constituents. | 2019-04-20T10:53:48 | https://www.finalsitesupport.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001338567-Authentication-priority-for-multi-role-users |

0.991688 | One of the two chemicals most commonly used in over the counter teeth whitening products today is hydrogen peroxide. This is the active ingredient responsible for the whitening results provided by many at home whitening gels, strips, and pens. This powerful chemical can provide great whitening results but care must be taken to use it safely and avoid potential side effects.
Hydrogen peroxide is made up of two atoms of hydrogen and two of oxygen. It takes the form of a clear liquid resembling water but it functions as an oxidizer - a chemical that breaks down into oxygen. Because of this it is has many applications in cleaning and bleaching. For example, it is used to sterilize wounds and bleach hair. Teeth whitening is just one of the many uses of this chemical.
Hydrogen peroxide is a useful whitening agent because it breaks down into water and oxygen. It is the concentrated oxygen released by peroxide that actively breaks apart the chemical bonds holding together the stain pigments within your teeth. Unlike abrasive ingredients like baking soda that can only clear stains off the surface enamel of your teeth, the oxygen from peroxide can penetrate into the porous structure of your enamel and dentin to clean your teeth from the inside out. The yellow or brown discoloration on your teeth is the result of stain pigments from eating certain foods, drinks or from smoking. The oxygen tears apart these pigments at a molecular level, resulting in far whiter teeth than can be achieved with surface level cleaning.
How Does Hydrogen Peroxide Compare to Carbamide Peroxide?
Carbamide peroxide is also used for teeth whitening and in fact carbamide will break down into hydrogen peroxide. This means that a solution of carbamide peroxide has less concentrated whitening power than an equal percentage of hydrogen peroxide. It's only about a third as strong. A 30% percent concentration of carbamide peroxide is only as effective at bleaching your teeth to a whiter shade as a 10% solution of hydrogen peroxide. Despite this carbamide peroxide is popularly used in whitening products.
The reason carbamide peroxide is commonly used in at home whitening products instead of hydrogen peroxide is because it is safer to handle. Whitening products that include carbamide peroxide for whitening are safer to use and much less likely to cause side effects than hydrogen peroxide whitening gels which use stronger concentrations of peroxide. A good carbamide peroxide whitening gel can still get you the whitening results you're looking for, despite providing less peroxide.
Both carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide are effective at whitening teeth. Don't worry too much about the relative strengths and concentrations of various peroxide-based whitening products. Instead of trying to find the highest concentration of hydrogen peroxide available in a whitening product you can get the whiter teeth you want with a lower and safer concentration of carbamide peroxide.
What Are the Potential Side Effects of Hydrogen Peroxide?
Unfortunately, because it is such a strong oxidizer hydrogen peroxide can cause side effects like temporarily increased tooth sensitivity or even chemical burns if allowed to come in contact with skin or the gums.
These side effects can be avoided however. To prevent tooth sensitivity that makes it painful to eat ice cream or drink hot soup you can use a restorative fluoride toothpaste featuring NovaMin to repair the structure of your teeth before whitening with a hydrogen peroxide gel. This will make your teeth less susceptible to that annoying side effect.
Preventing chemical burns is also easy. Just follow the manufacturer's directions exactly as written, carefully noting the amount of whitening gel to use. This will keep the peroxide gel from seeping out of its holding tray and coming into contact with your gums. Remember that using more gel will not whiten your teeth any faster. Don’t fill the tray with more gel than necessary.
You can also consider using a product featuring a lower concentration of peroxide to avoid side effects, but it will take more treatments to get the attractive white smile you're after.
What Teeth Whitening Results Will Hydrogen Peroxide Provide?
The results you'll get from treating your teeth with a hydrogen peroxide whitening product will vary depending on the severity of your dental stains, the concentration of the peroxide solution, how long each whitening session is and how many days you keep whitening. Because of all these different factors it's difficult to make a precise estimate of how effectively your teeth will be whitened, but peroxide products are the most powerful conventional whitening solutions available. Even dentists use peroxide when they whiten your teeth in a professional whitening treatment. You should expect a to have teeth that are at least a few shades whiter than what you started with, if you are using a quality ADA approved whitening gel.
How Long Will Whitening With Hydrogen Peroxide Take?
Just as with the whitening results it's difficult to estimate the length of time you'll need to whiten to reach your goal, but you can expect to see results within one to two weeks of daily treatment. This is far faster than whitening with toothpaste alone.
Do Dentists Use Hydrogen Peroxide to Whiten Teeth?
Peroxide is the most common way to whiten teeth other than abrasion. It's not just limited to over the counter products for home use. Dentists use it to whiten teeth in treatments within a dental office. These treatments can be expensive, costing several hundred dollars per session. Because of this it is far more cost-effective to try out whitening at home with peroxide gel and following up with whitening toothpaste to see if the results are good enough for you, before dealing with the expense of multiple professional whitening sessions.
If you choose to have your dentist bleach your teeth the procedure will usually take no more than an hour per session, with the number of sessions determined by how badly discolored your teeth are and how white you want them to be, as well as how many sessions you can afford.
The dentist will begin by cleaning your teeth with an abrasive, then cover your gums to prevent them coming in contact with the powerful concentration of peroxide that will be used, and finally apply the peroxide to your teeth.
What At-Home Teeth Whitening Products Contain Hydrogen Peroxide?
You can purchase diluted concentrations of hydrogen peroxide in liquid form as a general purpose oxidizer for use in cleaning or bleaching and use this form mixed with baking soda to whiten your teeth, but peroxide products made specifically for whitening teeth will produce the best results while also being safer to handle and use. Hydrogen peroxide is most commonly found as the active ingredient in whitening strips and you can also purchase whitening gels that use it, though the carbamide form of peroxide is more commonly found in whitening gels.
How Should Hydrogen Peroxide Whitening Gels Be Used?
Carefully follow the directions as written by the manufacturer and do not use more gel than specified to avoid side effects like gum irritation and pain. Specifics will vary from brand to brand, but generally you will use a tray to hold the gel in contact with your teeth for a short period of time per session, with one or two sessions per day as needed.

0.999999 | Up to 85% of times in the primary type of therapy setting, back pain patients should not be given an exact diagnosis for our back pain.
One of the most basic parts of the upper back pain workup is the patient history provides basically the How, Considerations, and Why types when considering questions.
How long the actual pain been going on and when it occurs for how long does it last? Most low back pain resolves within 6 to undertake 12 weeks, a longer duration means it's chronic and would need additional workup.
Is there a specific event that it occurs? To put it differently pain that occurs during the time you sitting at one's desk is really so different than during recreational activity after work. If pain comes on out-of-the-ordinary there is a higher chance it could be associated with a tumor or infection. The vast majority the time (over 90%) with acute back pain the cause is non potentially terminal, but the answer near question should be input the context of other answers a concern level.
What is the degree of the pain and where is it? Pain that is burning and retreats into the legs from on the is often indicative of sciatica within the pinched nerve. Pain one of the benefits located in the back and irritated by activity might possibly be caused by facet provided arthritis, called facet condition, and is a normal a part of aging.
Does it radiate in a different place? Pain that radiates within the lower extremities is often suggestive of a pinched nerve and might necessitate imaging studies as an MRI to define that disc herniation or spinal stenosis is occurring.
Does it wake you up at nighttime? Pain that wakes the patient up at night is focused on and may represent a cost effective tumor or infection. This is whats called a red flag clue.
How did it start? If there was a personal injury or a fall a patient can have a fracture or ligamentous shock. For instance if some criminal is a diabetic then infection is a popular significant concern specifically blood sugars are not controlled also another stylish recent hospitalization has occurred secondary to that idea problem. Let the patient explain fully the conditions, it can open up the yellow brick road near diagnosis.
Any problems for those who have bowel or bladder carryout? If there is a trouble in the spine that is pressing via the anatomic area called the most effective Cauda Equina, the most widely known problem seen is urinary : retention. One also sometimes have loss of bladder without one bowel control. This grows to red flag surgical desperation, as if it's without one surgically addressed within 25 to 48 hours that function it's best not to return. Narcotics may cause constipation equal and that's obviously it's no surgical emergency.
The most important part in obtaining a patient history is knowing what constitutes a red light versus what is only a normal back pain route. The red flag example of this requires further workup with potential imaging studies, bloodwork, or perhaps in rare circumstances like cauda equina problems emergency surgery.

0.999937 | Why is there no blood on the sword? There is a freshly severed head on the ground!
Yes, there a many beheading scenes in the history of art! Especially from this time period. I really love how different the executioner looks from the saints. The saints are painted much softer than he is.
He looks more weathered or rugged than the others?
Yes, I agree, I love how the painter is telling us about the characters through their facial features.
What are the golden circles on their heads?
Those are representations of halos indicating that the figures being put to the sword are saints. They are also the only part of the painting, other than the detail on the saint's brocade, created using gilding. Beginning in the mid-1450s, halos gradually began to be represented more three-dimensionally but by the High Renaissance (in the mid-1500s) they became unfashionable, usually reduced to a nimbus (a semi-transparent halo). | 2019-04-25T12:26:51 | https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/34351 |
0.999996 | How many times have you thought those words? You see a television show or movie or read a book and, even if you like it, a little voice inside your head says, "Yeah, I could do something better." I've thought it on several occasions and gone on to write scripts or books because of it. One time, I saw an interesting science fiction film, a small indie movie made with a minimal cast and mostly no special effects, which was quite impressive given the genre.
Yet, I found it lacking, as the actions of the three main characters didn't ring true to me. Thus, I drew up an outline for a script of my own. It's still in the works as another project popped up after I saw the cable television series, Outlander.
If you're not familiar with Outlander, it's quite good. The show comes from a series of books, which tell the story of an Englishwoman that goes to Scotland, with her husband. There she goes back in time when she visits one of the stone circles, similar to Stonehenge, which are common throughout Great Britain.
I enjoyed the story, but, as with so many other movies, television shows and books, I found a couple faults. I felt the time travel mechanism was weak and the main characters attempting to change history just didn't work as a plot device. Let's face it that is a very difficult type of story to pull off.
Over the years, I've seen stories about the Kennedy assassination, Pearl Harbor and even one about trying to kill President Charles de Gaulle of France. The latter was the book and movie The Day of the Jackal.
Jackal, this story, in both media, was an outstanding, exciting thriller. I thought about how the author and, later filmmaker, managed to achieve that. After all, people reading the book and seeing the movie went in knowing that the assassin was going to fail. How do you make that kind of story compelling?
The Jackal was not about assassination.
The story focused on the cat and mouse game between the killer and the police and saved the actual attempt on the life of de Gaulle, at the very end. By then, reader or viewer is deep in the story, caught in its web. She or he is on the edge of their seat wondering how it's going to end.
This got me to thinking. Could I write a time travel story with a better plot line? Well, I could sure try!
Coming up with the time machine mechanism was easy enough. Then I pondered what should be the main plot. Should I pull the old predetermination cliché, where the characters are supposed to be there, where their actions cause the very event they're trying to prevent?
I immediately got the old "been there, done that" feeling. What if I just ignored the whole issue of creating a temporal paradox and merely told a story of life in the era I chose to set the story? No, that’s too wimpy!
Then I made my decision. They would go for it and change history. Of course, there was always the question of degree. Would it be a little change, a big change or maybe a bit of both?
To find out, you'll have to buy my book. Forgive me for the shameless plug, but I have a manuscript ready to publish. Yes, I've signed with a publisher. The working title is The Long Journey Home. My publisher is the Champagne Book Group.
I dedicated my new book to my late brother.
We're shooting for a release in summer 2018. Oh. For those of you who have kept track of my stories over recent years, you’ll understand this final point. I’m dedicating the book to my brother, Stephen.
The next time you get an urge to see if you can do better: go for it. You never know what your future might hold. | 2019-04-25T10:36:02 | http://grubstreet.ca/articles/index/2456/middle-of-the-journey-i-can-do-better |

0.999659 | No reactions to this idea?
I think it would be very useful! Have you ever used the Crop tool of Adobe Photoshop?
I mean "and height to 100" in the "Now my idea is"-sentence of course!
In Adobe Photoshop there is a tool called "Crop-Tool" and it is perfect for making thumbnails of Pictures.
For example: have an 1600x1200 Photo from my digital Camera and I want a 150x100 Thumbnail of it.
With the Photoshop I can set the Crop-Tool to 150x100, then select an area of the picture (the proportions of the selection are of course fixed, unless I want them to be free) and when I press ENTER I have a perfect 150x100 Thumbnail (with the correct proportions).
It would be great if PMview had an similar tool.
My idea to achieve this is using the standard selection-tool of PMview.
In the "selection info"-window there could be a new check-box called "Resize output". When you check it, there are 2 new input-fields (width and height) an a new check-box "keep proportional".
Now my idea is, that when I select an area of the picture and check "Resize output" and set width to 150 and height to 150, nothing special happens; but when I press Crop (or Copy, or Cut) the output (with Copy and Cut of course not the direct output, but the data in clipboard) has now the size 150x100!
And when I check "Keep proportions" too, I could only select an area with the proportion 3:2 (so that the output doesn't look ugly without the correct proportions!).
Is my idea clear to you?
I think a lot of people would like this tool!
Bug with lossless JPG-Rotating - Rotating changes the image-size.
Yes you are right. My camera makes 2048x1536 px pictures.
Thank you a lot for the detailed explanations!
So there is no possibility to rotate a JPG-image really lossless?
When I rotate a JPG image with the lossless JPG-Rotating, the image size changes.
For example: When I use my lossless 90° Clockwise Rotating to rotate a 800x600 JPG image , I get a 592x800 JPG image.
Is this behavior expected? I don't think so, because it simply cuts one side of my image off.
I'm using WindowsXP Professionel (SP1).
Tested it on WindowsXP Home and it results in the same bug.
But your (great) program can change one color in this dialog, it could change it for a second into the negative color, and back again. Would that not be possible?
Another idea is, that if you click one of the 256 colors in the "Edit Palette"-Window, the part of my image that has this color blinks for a second or something.
Because it's somtimes really difficult to find the color I want to change in the 256 colors.
Another thing that others already suggested: Add a box with the hexadezimal code for the current color!
It would be great if you could choose the color you want ro change in the "Edit Palette"-Window.
If you click on the color you want to change, it would be selected in the "Edit Palette"-Window.
You could also add this feature to the "Save"-Dialog to the Transperancy Selection in the Option dialog of an gif image for example.
Would be great if you added this feature! | 2019-04-20T18:34:41 | https://www.pmview.com/forum/index.php?s=a6d6fb4ca399109095b5e59b00576770&act=Search&nav=au&CODE=show&searchid=484cb5d2034a2721498c7bbbe0a09210&search_in=posts&result_type=posts |
0.998801 | Tells the story of the first London Blitz - six raids by German bombers in eight nights in 1917. This title focuses on the events of August 1918 and the countdown to the incendiary raids that would have destroyed much of London and Paris had they not been called off at the very last minute.
'Fighting was raging on the other side of the Channel, but in London, in the warmth of a drowsy late-September afternoon, the war seemed a long way away. The roads were strangely quiet and deserted, for petrol restrictions had reduced motor traffic almost to zero. London seemed breathless, in the tense expectancy of disaster. The alarm was given soon after nightfall. At Biggin Hill and a score of other airfields, pilots scrambled from their quarters and sprinted for their aircraft. Within seconds the air was full of the noise of engines, as the squadrons taxied out and took off into the ever-darkening sky'."The First Blitz" is told in two parts, each detailing the events of a single week. The first part tells the story of the first London Blitz - six raids by German bombers in eight nights in 1917.

0.998126 | 1 On that day the king Ahasuerus gave the house of Haman, the Jews' enemy, to Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he [was] to her.
2 And the king took off his ring which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
3 And Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.
6 For how can I endure to see the evil that will come to my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
7 Then the king Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.
8 Write ye also for the Jews, as it pleaseth you, in the king's name, and seal [it] with the king's ring: for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, no man may reverse.
9 Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that [is], the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth [day] of it; and it was written, according to all that Mordecai commanded, to the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which [are] from India to Cush, a hundred twenty and seven provinces, to every province according to the writing of it, and to every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.

0.999041 | Nature explorers such as children can find the most amazing insects in their own backyards or other nature settings. But how can these nature explorers even identify insects?
Insects are part of the invertebrate domain. Invertebrates are animals without backbone. Although insects have no backbone, they are a diverse species. Experts believe that insects occupied the Earth a long time ago, even in the Dinosaur age. Entomologists are expert professionals that study the function and structure of insects.
As a matter of fact, entomologists and other experts believe there are about 2 million to 10 million different species of insects. Most insects have the ability to adapt to different environmental changes such as ice, water, heat and wind. While the variety of insects is enormous, some are considered as pests and others are not. For instance, in general, ladybugs are insects that can eat aphids or other harmful pests that can hurt a crop or plant. But fleas are insects that can be harmful to pets and humans by extracting their blood.
What are the physical characteristics of insects = insectos?
Insects have 3 main parts that characterizes them: a head = cabeza, a thorax = tórax, and an abdomen = abdomen. And many of the exterior parts of insects are protect by an exoskeleton or hard shell. They also have 6 legs. Many instances, some insects have more than one set of wings.
The head comprises of the eyes, mouth and antennae. The eyes are generally compound. It allows them to see and detect various types of movements. The mouth is mostly composed of jaw-like mandibles, used to grab and chew food. The antennae are sensory appendages in insects. These allow them to feel, smell, and even hear what is around them. The thorax follows after the head.
The thorax is composed of 3 general areas: the prothorax (before), the mesothorax (middle), and the metathorax (after). The 3 pairs of legs are located within each of the 3 areas of the thorax. Besides providing movement, legs can also function as sensory elements such as smell, taste and detection of vibration. Wings are located in the mesothorax and are used for flying. The abdomen follows after the metathorax.
The abdomen is comprised of 10 to 12 segments. The digestive system, the reproductive system and additional sensory elements are found within these segments. In some insects, the sting-needle carrying the poison is also located within these segments.
Whether children observe ants, bees, ladybugs or butterflies in nature, they can also learn that specific body parts characterize insects. And each body part plays a particular function in their survival. However, when observing insects in nature, please be aware of your surroundings and allergies. | 2019-04-26T01:59:56 | https://www.spanish4kiddos.com/learning-about-insect-facts-and-anatomy-for-kids/ |
0.999912 | The discussion of classic novels continues with Jane Austen's "missing" punctuation.
Persuasion is Jane Austen's last completed novel. She began it soon after she had finished Emma, completing it in August 1816. She died, aged 41, in 1817; Persuasion was published in December that year (but dated 1818).
More than eight years before the novel opens, Anne Elliot, then a lovely, thoughtful, warm-hearted 19 year old, accepted a proposal of marriage from the handsome young naval officer Frederick Wentworth. He was clever, confident, and ambitious, but poor and with no particular family connections to recommend him. Sir Walter, Anne's fatuous, snobbish father and her equally self-involved older sister Elizabeth were dissatisfied with her choice, maintaining that he was no match for an Elliot of Kellynch Hall, the family estate. Her older friend and mentor, Lady Russell, acting in place of Anne's late mother, persuaded her to break the engagement.
Now 27 and still unmarried, Anne re-encounters her former love when his sister and brother-in-law, the Crofts, take out a lease on Kellynch. Wentworth is now a captain and wealthy from maritime victories in the Napoleonic wars. However, he has not forgiven Anne for rejecting him. While publicly declaring that he is ready to marry any suitable young woman who catches his fancy, he privately resolves that he is ready to become attached to any appealing young woman except for Anne Elliot. | 2019-04-22T07:12:38 | http://topsellingbooks.midwestjournalpress.com/2013/08/jane-austen-persuasion-classic-fiction.html |

0.998967 | The title character in the new movie Diane is a woman trying to save her adult son from the drug addiction he denies.
Diane is played by Mary Kay Place, whose long career includes roles in TV series from Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman to Big Love, and in movies including The Big Chill, Being John Malkovich and many more.
In the film Diane, Mary Kay Place is in every scene. It's a character study of an older woman confronting loss and bearing deep-seated guilt.
"She sees herself as a member of a large family, but sees those members dying away one by one, and feels probably that life is moving more quickly than she's living it," Place says in an interview. "But I think ultimately [she] sees and maybe even embraces her solitude. So it's sort of — I think she might have, for some people, a spiritual journey of some kind."
Diane is the feature film debut from director Kent Jones. He designed the part for Mary Kay Place — and she immediately came on board.
"He said: 'This character you play really reminded me of my mother and her matriarchal family,'" Place says. "'And I've been wanting to write a screenplay about them.' And he said: 'I think you are the one that should play the lead role, Diane.' And I was just flabbergasted."
This character's really an example of the unlived life. I mean, she tries to help her neighbors and her family and her son and everyone to sort of redeem herself from this guilt. And she doesn't really know who she is or what she wants. But she finally begins, in the movie, to ask herself: What do I need? What do I want? And a slight shift happens when she asks herself those questions.
It's not the greatest dancing, but she enjoys herself.
Yes, and you know — I don't think that's really true anymore. I mean, it's shocking that because of Netflix, and all the different cable shows, and the amount of product that's being generated at this point, there are so many roles for older women. It's just absolutely amazing. I feel, you know, one has to live life as well as work all the time — because then you have no source for the work. Because a lot of these parts go deep — or some of them go deep — and ... this required a lot of preparation in advance. So I'm fairly satisfied. I feel I've had enough interesting parts in my life that have given the whole process of being an actor meaning. So I can't complain. I feel very, very fortunate.

0.998798 | Get this: A majority of the speakers at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte last week spoke in some way about LGBT equality. You read that right. From small-town mayors all the way to the president of the United States of America, our civil rights were front and center.
Even the LGBT delegate events were high-profile. It's easier to list those who didn't speak at an LGBT event in Charlotte - I can only think of three. But the first and second ladies of the nation did, as did cabinet members, senators, and other esteemed speakers.
This was the fourth Democratic Convention I've attended. The first was in 1984, where you could have put our caucus in a small room. This year, the tally was about 555 out LGBT delegates, and at our caucuses, the rooms were filled to capacity and had lines waiting to get in.
All the non-LGBT speakers at the caucus meetings were great, but two stood out. Newark Mayor Cory Booker literally stole the hearts of the delegates with his knowledge and passion for our community. And Delaware Gov. Jack Markell called his LGBT legislative victories one of the highlights of his administration - and he brought up to the podium Lisa Goodman from Equality Delaware to make clear that the LGBT community deserved credit for those victories. It has to be a partnership between elected officials and the community.
BUNKING WITH THE BIDENS Some personal notes: As I write this, I'm literally in a state of tears. You see, in 1984, it was inconceivable to me that we'd see an American president, vice president, and first lady all delivering speeches from the convention podium calling for LGBT equality, with upward of 20 million Americans watching on TV.
I can personally attest to this. While the Republicans consider us a security threat, the Democrats embrace us. When I got to my hotel, I discovered I had been put into the vice president's block of rooms: My partner Jason and I had a Biden next door and another across the hall. We even had a Secret Service detail right outside our door.
At the HRC/Victory Fund Lunch, I got a hug from the first lady.
So I decided to attempt to gain entrance to the Holy of Holies - the Clinton suite. I've never revealed my techniques before, and I won't now, but I did it. As I successfully stood outside Room 7 on the Founders Hall floor in the Royal Suite, a security person appeared and uttered, 'Now, Mark,' and smiled. The rest of that story will be in my memoirs. I can't give it all away - and I promised not to - but as I left the hall that night, all I could think was that the old man still has it, and the hope for the future is brighter than any of us expect.

0.99967 | Details about the case are quite specific, and the case report heralds from a town in Minnesota. It describes, in very specific detail, the management of a patient who presented to the emergency room in shock from cardiac tamponade after a catheter ablation procedure for right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia.
Is this unique case report Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant?
I would say, according to our current definition of HIPAA's requirements for de-identification of "personal health information," such a case report is not HIPAA-compliant. Nor could such a case be mentioned on a blog for that matter, even though it presents important information for people dealing with these patients.
There is an important quality-of-care role in telling clinical case-report stories. Specific case reports can bring important specific clinical details to the attention of the medical community. For instance, if doctors had not been willing to describe several cases of pulmonary vein stenosis or two cases of esophageal perforation in a major medical journal years ago, how many more people might have been injured as a result?
Yet HIPAA stipulates that there are "18 little rules" that doctors must follow when they report important clinical cases, and often it is the specific clinical scenario that highlights the case's importance. But since all patient care is local, a doctor's location therefore implies a patient's location at a certain time. As a result, specific patient case reports more often than not expose HIPAA's: "small cell problem:"
The "small cell" problem violates HIPAA, and HIPAA means business: millions of dollars of "business" that gets released in press releases from the Department of Health and Human Services when they catch their prey.
But doctors should not be afraid of publishing case reports, especially since there are good reasons for them clinically. Further, when doctors make good-faith efforts to conceal patient's personal information in those reports, they should not be subject to threats of HIPAA's "small cell" problem. Simply put: the "small cell" problem is HIPAA's, not the doctors'. Extending the definition of personal health information as defined by HIPAA to include "any other unique identifying characteristic" about a patient's case limits doctors' ability to improve care to our patients while greatly increasing our legal culpability for that effort. | 2019-04-19T03:15:15 | https://www.medpagetoday.com/blogs/drwes/29820 |

0.99999 | We don't just need to separate religion from from government, we need to separate business from government. Only a very troubled democracy would have a mass media that actually dignified Australian banker, Elizabeth Proust's expectation that the people of Melbourne should simply walk away from the few remaining rights they have in their fractured, fragmented and amalgamated local councils. If this kind of thing goes ahead, our ability to self-govern will be unilaterally taken from us in order to ram through a Hong Kong style megacity that no doubt would benefit the banks. It has already happened in Brisbane where there is only one huge council - the same one that is responsible for so many new Brisbane homes being built on a flood plain that took lives, health and security in exchange for quick profits from bank-rolled property developers and government friends and clients.
As quoted and described in this Age article, Elizabeth Proust, seems to mistaken citizens in an electorate for a bunch of clients in a bank. Her approach sounds just as aggressive, unfair and disenfranchising as the approach of banks in the way they impose charges for your money, even though they use that money to lend with and the way they unilaterally impose charges for their time, whilst taking your time. It seems to match well with the kind of attitude that has seen global financial institutions rob us all blind and then demand our governments to shake us down for more.
Only a very troubled democracy would have a mass media that actually dignified this woman's ill-conceived bullying attitude with publication. In this way the Age has legitimated a commercial headkicker as a person whom we should listen to, when her words demonstrate ignorance or obfuscation of the origins of the population growth she describes as 'mooted'.
"Ms Proust said there had to be sweeping changes to council numbers to reduce the ''not in my backyard'' phenomenon - residents objecting to developments in their neighbourhoods - and improve long-term strategic planning."
"Auditor-General Des Pearson and his colleague Paul O'Connor delivered a scathing assessment of the relationship between the public service and the government in giving evidence to a parliamentary inquiry into infrastructure projects.
Of course the 'need' for these stupid and destructive projects is almost entirely driven by governments inviting more and more people to come and live in Australia at the behest of the developers who are laughing all the way to the bank. Perhaps Ms Proust also finds the whole thing a bit of a joke.
See below for extract from the Age article about what Proust said.
"Elizabeth Proust is calling for sweeping changes to the number of Melbourne councils.
MELBOURNE must slash its number of councils from 31 to one, according to former Melbourne City Council chief executive Elizabeth Proust, who also headed the premier's department soon after the last round of major council amalgamations in the 1990s."
"I have news for Ms Proust, the number of councils and the residents who want to protect their neighbourhoods from unacceptable developments are not the problem. The problem is the rate of population growth, not the residents.
The solution is to curb the population growth not build higher and bigger apartment blocks to house the new arrivals.
Ms Proust who is currently Bank of Melbourne chair does not represent the residents of Melbourne, she is obviously speaking on behalf of her developer clients."
It's as though Ms. Proust has unconsciously blurted out that she wants to eradicate the rights of people to protect their personal amenity and that of their neighbours (motivated by “NIMBY” attitude) and blithely suggests a reduction of democratic opportunities to achieve this. I don’t mean that she doesn't think it. I'm sure she's quite genuine! But it is almost unbelievable that someone would actually say it to her fellow citizens! When she wakes up, surely she will be embarrassed and humiliated that she said this and that it is on record? Or have we shot right past any semblance of democracy and reached a new low benchmark that The Age is now quite happy to go along with?
Actually, Ms Proust is defending her banking turf from the reduction in traffic that would come if the government and the banks etc stopped interfering in population growth. She is in fact saying, "No population stabilisation in my backyard!"
"Housing Melbourne," on Thursday 22 March 2012, from 5pm – 7:30pm at the Spring Street Conference Centre, Theatrette.
A number of people who attended say that it made a mockery of democracy.
Remember, this was an event held by the Municipal Authority of Victoria, which is subsidised by residents' rates which pay for local councils to be members. It is quite expensive.
Councils should resign from the MAV in protest at their values in running events like this.
Kevin Hunt from MAB spoke about getting rid of the artificial Council boundaries so that they can really DEVELOP the city. He implied that people might comment on the end product but that they should have no rights over individual planning applications; that there should only be strategic planners and that they should get rid of prescriptive codes and statutory planners with their "rules and rulers" could keep the leafy suburbs. It was all so bad.
An architect said they should get rid of lobby groups who canvas councils to refuse applications. He implied that only architects should have rights in this.
This is not the first MAV forum that has shown a similar shameful attitude towards citizens' rights. The one before this was completely prejudiced in favor of development and actually made fun of people who tried to assert residents' and citizens' rights.
There is no lack of speakers against this overdevelopment that tramples everyone's rights but the MAV shows that it is biased towards developers and that it has forgotten how to represent peoples' interests and rights. No-one should permit their rates to be used to supplement this travesty. It is not a local council organisation; it is a development organisation.
People should refuse to pay their rates for anything to do with it. | 2019-04-22T12:03:07 | http://candobetter.net/comment/8124 |

0.965469 | It's zucchini season! Zucchini is one of our favorite summertime vegetables. They're versatile and easy to incorporate into recipes. I'm embarrassed to admit that I recently tasted my first zucchini muffin. Yes, I never ate zucchini in any baked treat. It was so delicious that I asked the pastry chef for the recipe and within minutes he kindly provided me with a list of ingredients and instructions to his mini masterpieces.
As always, I like to modify recipes by adding more nutrient dense ingredients. Instead of cake flour, I used whole-wheat flour. Granulated sugar was replaced by low glycemic coconut sugar, and, as an oil substitute, I opted for unsweetened applesauce. I also added flax meal to increase fiber and heart healthy fats.
Since my vegan clients often ask about ideas to help them achieve their daily protein needs, I decided it was time to give aquafaba a try. What is aquafaba? It's the water used to soak dried beans or pulses. Aquafaba is also the liquid found in canned pulses and packaged tofu. It is typically used as an egg white replacement in various baking recipes. Approximately three tablespoons of aquafaba whisked together into a foam like consistency is equivalent to one egg. I am pleased to report that none of my taste testers could detect an egg replacement in the muffins. Mission accomplished and the muffins still tasted delicious with all the other modifications. Score!
Enjoy these heart healthy, high-fiber, and high-protein zucchini muffins for breakfast or as a nutritious snack. They travel well and stay fresh in an airtight container for 3-5 days.
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly coat a mini muffin pan with vegetable spray or line with muffin wrappers.
2. In a large bowl combine the wet ingredients and fold in the grated zucchini.
3. In a separate medium sized bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.
4. Carefully combine the dry into the wet ingredients without over mixing.
5. Use a spoon to distribute the muffin dough and fill the cups completely.
6. Bake until muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean (approximately 8-10 minutes). | 2019-04-23T06:37:06 | http://www.pronutritionconsulting.com/recipes-breakfast/mini-zucchini-muffins |

0.998376 | What is Separate Property in a Divorce?
Individuals often decide to get married after falling in love and realizing they have similar values and life goals. But, romantic ideals aside, marriage is at its core a merger of two entities into a single unit, with shared assets and liabilities. And just as a business merger results in the commingling of assets, so too does marriage (to a degree).
But the question of who owns what typically is addressed only when a married couple decides to call it quits and go their separate ways. Marital property is that which is subject to division upon divorce, but what is separate property in a divorce?
In order to define separate property in the context of a marriage, we also need to cover the meaning of marital property. Most assets (and debts) acquired during the marriage are considered marital property and thus subject to division in divorce. The way in which marital property is divided depends upon the laws of your state, with a handful of states using the "community property" approach (generally, a 50/50 split).
All other property is considered separate property, which means it belongs to just one of the parties in a marriage. When a couple gets divorced, separate property is not subject to division.
Unlike marital property, separate property (sometimes called "individual property") belongs to just one individual before, during, and after the marriage. This mainly consists of that which was acquired before the couple gets married, with a few notable exceptions. Debt also follows these rules; someone who enters a marriage with a heavy debt load typically will be responsible for that debt after the marriage ends.
Any property obtained by one party using their separate property assets (such as inheritance funds) with the clear intention of maintaining the acquired property as separate.
Separate property that's been so commingled with marital property that it's virtually impossible to identify will be considered marital property (and subject to division) in a divorce. For instance, if marital property (shared income) is used to pay off a car originally purchased by one spouse before the marriage, the car (or a portion of its value) will be considered marital property.
It's important to understand how community property states and common law property states differ in how separate property is distinguished. Common law property states, for the most part, automatically define that which is registered in one spouse's name only as separate property. This isn't the case in community property states (such as California), where an express, written agreement is required for such a determination.
Additionally, common law property states will take into consideration each spouse's separate property when determining how to equitably distribute marital property during a divorce. Since community property states split marital property in half, they don't consider each party's separate property.
Don't let property concerns spoil the romance of your budding marriage, although it's a good idea to know the difference between marital and separate property before things go south. If you're concerned about separate property issues or considering a divorce, you may benefit from speaking with an experienced divorce attorney near you. | 2019-04-24T12:44:06 | https://family.findlaw.com/divorce/what-is-separate-property-in-a-divorce.html |
0.999988 | Why does it take Garry Wills 317 pages to explain Lincoln's 272 words delivered at Gettysburg? Because Lincoln's address was that magisterial and Wills' scholarship that magnificent. Wills, 84 at this writing and Professor Emeritus at Northwestern University, wrote Lincoln At Gettysburg in 1992.
While not dueling for oratory greatness, Lincoln's 272 words eclipse the famed oratory giant Edward Everett, the principal speaker at the dedication whose 13,000 words took two hours to deliver.
Wills explores the context and the text of Lincoln's famed address, but more than that, the forces that shaped his communication in general and this speech in particular. Readers are treated to the influences of Greek Revival, the "Culture of Death" of that day, the Transcendentalism of Theodore Parker, and the theory and oratory power of Daniel Webster.
The author also demonstrates Lincoln's mastery of thought and style. For Lincoln, the Civil War was about preserving the Union more than freeing slaves. He used the moment to connect people to the Declaration and Constitution -- "a single people dedicated to a proposition" -- and it was unity around that proposition that pushed the issue of slavery in our country toward obsolescence.
As to style, Wills shows us that Lincoln rendered obsolete the communication methods of his day, a mere thirty minutes after Everett spoke. The author's treatment of the power of words, along with the insights from Hugh Blair, Mark Twain, and John Hay is worth the price of the book.
Wills won the Pulitzer Prize for Lincoln At Gettysburg and it is not hard to understand why. This is not light reading, but it is fascinating and so insightful.
1. Scholarship: Put on your deep diving gear; Wills plumbs the depths of this speech, taking us down through cold waters of history to the works of Pericles and Thucydides.
2. Communication: Lincoln At Gettysburg is essential reading for anyone who wants to improve their communication. It is enlightening, educating, and fascinating.
3. Context: Will deftly relays the "need for artful words to sweeten the poisoned air of Gettysburg." Each side claimed fifty thousand dead, wounded, and missing. Residents were forced to plant around bodies in the fields and gardens. Contractors were bidding to bury the bodies of soldiers, a work that intern 100 bodies a day. Will takes the speech out of our classrooms and puts us at Gettysburg.
4. Myth explosion:For years I have believed the myths that Will quickly dispels: (1) The Gettysburg Address was composed "on the fly." (2) That Lincoln was not pleased with the speech, e.g. purportedly saying, "That speech won't scour." Not so.
5. The Tycoon: Wills gives us glimpses of Lincoln through the eyes of his 25-year-old secretary, John Hay (who would later serve as Secretary of State to two Presidents.) Hay referred to Lincoln as "The Tycoon." These interactions are interesting and particularly helpful in examining the power of Lincoln's communication. | 2019-04-20T10:15:28 | https://www.onmywalk.com/book-reviews-blog/lincoln-at-gettysburg |
0.999997 | Is the landmark UT Dallas 'Art Barn' doomed?
This past March, I wrote of the impending demolition of Rice University's historic Art Barn (aka, the Martel Center), a metal-clad gallery and studio space that has been a landmark for the Houston arts community since its opening in 1969. Two weeks ago, the school committed that sad act of architectural vandalism, despite the protests of preservationists and the fact that the building was designed to be demountable.
Losing one historic art barn is bad, but Texas may just lose another; a similar scenario is now playing itself out at the University of Texas at Dallas, where administrators have already intitiated the process of closing down that school's so-called Art Barn, an architectural landmark in its own right. In a memorandum circulated to top administrators this week, UTD President David Daniel described the building as "near the end of its useful life." Current plans are to transform it into a storage center after the spring semester.
Opened as the Fine Arts Building and now officially the Visual Arts Building, the Art Barn was designed by Lawrence Wood of the Dallas firm Fisher & Spillman. It opened in 1976 at what was then the far north end of campus. With wide panels of vertical white siding, porthole windows on its southern flank, and a staggered profile to the north, it has a distinctive graphic profile amplified by the bright Texas sun. The simple geometry of Its sheer planes offers a welcome and relieving contrast to the the largely undistinguished concrete architecture that characterizes so much of the campus. Rice's Art Barn was clearly an influence on the design, which also reflects Wood's interested in photography.
In 1979, it was honored with a merit award from the Dallas AIA.
Today, the building betrays the wear of its age, and the economy with which it was constructed—just $26 a square foot. In his memorandum to staff, President Daniel cited a host of concerns about its continued viability, including issues with fire-safety, plumbing, insulation, and energy efficiency. Dennis M. Kratz, dean of the School of Arts and Humanities, cited an engineering report that quoted a figure of more than $4 million for repairs—quadruple the original construction budget.
"I believe it is clear that spending millions to bring a deficient building up to code is not a responsible choice," President Daniel wrote in his memorandum, concluding that the building would "need to be replaced with a facility that more safely and effectively serves the needs of the students." Options for that replacement would be significantly smaller and either located "outside the core campus" or "at a sensible location close to the main campus." The justification for the downsizing is that some of the Art Barn's functions were cannibalized by the $60 million Arts and Technology Center (ATEC), which opened last year.
A number of fine arts faculty, students, and alumni dispute the administration's arguments—in particular the costs for repair—and have begun to galvanize a movement to save the building. They are, in particular, concerned about the loss of their principal gallery space, and their prime location on a campus that has grown around them.
"It's like gentrification," says Greg Metz, a lecturer in the visual arts who has become the leading advocate for the building. "We were on the outskirts and now that we've become the center of campus they want to get rid of us." They fear that the administration's current plan to close the building, remove a mezzanine level of offices, and turn it into a storage facility, will leave it without a constituency and an easy demolition target.
"We'd like to make this a visual arts hub where we have a creative community that can come and visit studios and installation performances," says Metz. The ATEC Building, which privileges digital media, is not well suited to that task, says Metz, as its spaces dedicated to traditional arts are separated from each other, and its primary gallery space is adjacent to the school's public auditorium, making it incompatible with experimental work that can be explicit and provocative. "Curatorial studies is a huge phase shift for the arts, and being able to do curatorial exhibitions is quite important," says Metz.
It is, however, hard to square the idea of respecting the building with its destruction. The best way to do that, and to serve the needs of the arts community both at the university and in Dallas generally, is not to ape its aesthetics, but to rehabilitate it for future generations. | 2019-04-25T13:45:18 | https://www.dallasnews.com/arts/arts/2014/04/25/is-the-landmark-ut-dallas-art-barn-doomed |
0.998665 | Trixie’s disappearance is ruled a suicide, but Fiona starts to believe that Trixie isn’t really dead. Piecing together the trail of a girl who doesn't want to be found leads her to Jasper, Trixie’s former friend with benefits, and Beauthe boy who turned Fiona down, who loved someone else, who might be happy Trixie is gone.
The closer Fiona gets to finding out what happened, and the closer she gets to Jasper and Beau, the more she realizes that the girl she knew better than anyone may have been a carefully constructed lieand she might have been waiting to disappear the entire time.
L.E. Flynn is the author of Firsts (Thomas Dunne Books/St Martin’s Press), a YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults pick, along with an accompanying series of short stories, The Boys Tell All. Flynn is a former model who worked in Tokyo, Athens, and Paris. Flynn now lives in London, Ontario with her husband, daughter, and the world’s most spoiled Chihuahua. When she's not writing, you can likely find her hiking in the woods, perusing thrift stores for vintage dresses, or binging on reality TV.
Teens pair up with and then cheat on each other while two go in search of a missing friend.
Readers only see Trixie through the eyes of others, especially Fiona. There seems to be little to admire in the girl who went missing after a party and who apparently killed herself: Trixie betrayed one best friend after another and was unkind to her devoted father. But if Fiona is right, she also faked her suicide and just walked away from the mess she created. Fiona's present-tense narration is interspersed with frequent recollections of Trixie that gradually reveal what led up to her possible death. Fiona, almost incapable of making decisions for herself, drifts from one controlling friend to another, never quite realizing a relationship with Beau, her emotionally troubled soul mate. Her infatuation with Trixie motivates her to search for evidence that she isn't dead, while Jasper, another domineering figure, insinuates himself into her life. Much of the treachery among this group of older high school students takes place at alcohol-drenched parties as the cast of white teens fall in and out of love, behave badly, suffer emotional whiplash, and then, eventually, move neatly on. Although the suspense effectively intensifies as Fiona discovers the nuances—and consequences—of several unhappy relationships, the ending is disappointingly pat for the enormity of the angst these teens generate.
Last Girl Lied To 3.5 out of 5 based on 0 ratings. 2 reviews.
Trixie Heller walked into the ocean one night and everyone believes it was suicide except Trixie's best friend Fiona. Fiona can't figure out why Trixie killed herself. She starts to investigate and finds out that maybe she didn't know her friend as well as she thinks. She also wonders how it connects to a previous suicide by a boy who had everything going for him. The book is told in alternating chapters between present and past. There are several twists and turns in the story involving almost every character. I felt the ending was a little disappointing even if it was true to the story.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review as part of the blog tour hosted by Fantastic Flying Book Club. It’s been quite a long time since I’ve read a contemporary YA thriller so I was really excited when I started reading this one. From the sound of the synopsis, I find it really promising and in the end, I liked the story. Last Girl Lied To started out full of intrigue which hooked me from the very beginning. The book focuses on Fiona’s journey in unearthing the mystery about her best friend’s enigmatic suicide. Although the book’s concept isn’t new in the genre, I found myself liking the book still. Peppered with a few twists and surprises in the plot, the mystery really tied itself up well. Unfortunately, I failed to connect with the main character, Fiona, no matter how hard I’ve tried to. I just didn’t see much development in her which disappointed me, thus, factoring in to my indifference to her. The book’s pace was also a little bit too slow for my liking which put me off a tad bit. But the ending was quite good and I think it wraps everything quite good. Overall, despite having a bit of issues with this one, I still found myself enjoying Last Girl Lied To for its great mystery and suspense! | 2019-04-25T20:25:56 | https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/last-girl-lied-to-laurie-elizabeth-flynn/1128178250?ean=9781250158130 |

0.999072 | There are already many fine websites which treat physics in general and relativity in particular. Some of them are mentioned on the links page for this site, and some you no doubt already know about (Wolfram, Wikipedia, etc...). So what do I think I can add to such a wealth of material? My own explanations and my own derivations of things, in which I try to discuss the results as I go and generally provide explanations of points that are often glossed over. I've also provided visual proofs of a few items which are typically demonstrated only algebraically; I hope to increase the number of such proof-by-picture items as time goes by.
In these pages, I present a few of the insights which I found helpful, surprising, or just pleasing. I expect most visitors will be to be amateurs, who are studying relativity for fun, just as I am; I found these things useful, so perhaps you will too. Some things here are obscure items or things which most authors just assume you know (which you might not), and some may be things everybody talks about but which I think I have a slightly different slant on. Of course, I have my own view of time dilation and the best "intuitive" way to view it, and I talk about that. And some of the things here are just tricky problems or derivations which I worked out, and which I just wanted to show off somewhere. No doubt most of this material is available (somewhere!) in textbooks and journal articles, but I did not find it there in an accessible form.
I have made little effort to separate "special relativity" and "general relativity". They are cut from the same cloth; the former is just a special case of the latter, and there is not even clear agreement today on where to draw the line between them. Most people seem to treat the "special" theory as dealing with flat spaces and coordinates in which the metric is Minkowski's (either diag(-1,1,1,1) or diag(1,-1-1-1) depending on your taste), and call anything that addresses nonzero curvature or uses a different metric tensor "general relativity". Examples of both cases appear here.
Finally, if you've come this far, don't leave without checking out the links page.

0.999831 | In the Fall of 2012, while I was painting the stairs up to my bedroom, I was contemplating the upcoming writing Challenge, NaNoWriMo. (National Novel Writing Month). I had made up my mind to write the sequel to "Capture the Wandering Heart", but there was unrest in my imagination.
I had the storyline in my head. It would be easy to just go with it, but something was wrong. I couldn't get into it like I wanted to. While I painted I felt that I needed to do something completely different so that the writing would stay fresh.
The1970s are special to me because that is the time period in which I became a young person on my own. The story of Betty Barnes almost wrote itself. I hope you enjoy "Six Miles From Nashville." I strive to write books that cause the reader to pause and think a little. They are not terribly deep, but hopefully, the reader will see something that will aid them in their life's walk.
Book I of the Nashville Series released in 2013 is about Betty Barnes, a girl from Guymon, Oklahoma who is a 1974 graduate of high school on her way to Bible College in Missouri. Through a series of events she finds herself in a cafe six miles from Nashville.
Betty Barnes finds herself hundreds of miles away from her Guymon, Oklahoma home. Since leaving for a large Bible College in Missouri, her life has been twisted around. Not that things weren't already a challenge for her with her brother in Vietnam and her heart bleeding from a recent break up.
Book II of the Nashville Series released in 2013 continues Betty's story and introduces her brother who was a POW in Vietnam. He must decide whether to face his past or plow through it to the future that offers hope and promise.
After receiving a letter from a private investigator in regards to the child she put up for adoption over two years ago, Betty's life was further complicated. Her hopes were high that she might be able to mother the child she gave away only to be faced with court appearances and setbacks that stretched her faith in God to the limit.
How much could one year change a woman? Would Debbie Williams ever overcome the stigma that followed her after her incarceration? Long before she endured her first lock-up, she was a widow who had given up on love. If she had ever entertained the idea of remarriage, all hope for that disappeared with the clang of her prison door. Why did her life become even more complicated after she served her time? This was no time for a man to show interest, or was it? Maybe the old Debbie was gone and ready to live. The freedom she experienced was more precious to her since it had been restored.
Bruce happily left the job at the mechanic shop in Oklahoma City for a new life on a ranch near Elk City. He was nursing a broken heart from the rejection of a woman he had begun to love. Who was he kidding? No woman would want to take on a man like him and his four children. They had just begun to heal after the death of their mother. He believed the cowboy life of his childhood was a better fit for them and he was ready for whatever might come his way.
Kathy discovered that she could make better money driving a truck and hauling crude oil than using the bachelor degree she had toiled to earn. Her parents were wary of her choice of occupation and yearned for her to be married and provide them some grandchildren. Their urging produced the opposite results, sending her far away from Woodward, Oklahoma. She was self-sufficient until the day she met a cowboy. | 2019-04-20T00:20:48 | http://www.elainelittau.com/contemporary.html |

The only explanation of syntax is interlocking, recursive clauses comprising heirarchical phrase structures.
However, all such phrases in all human languges seem to have the same heirarchical structure, regardless of whether they are noun phrases (NPs), verb phrases (VPs), adjective phrases (APs), or adposition (preposition or postposition) phrases (PPs).
All phrases in all languages seem to consist of a head and optional specifiers, complements, and adjuncts.
How do we prove syntax?
Look at what people say.
Look at what people can comprehend.
Ask a speaker to judge a sentence for it's "correctness."
The sub-Xs on SpecX and CompX means that the categories of specifiers and complements will differ depending on the category of the XP they occur in. Only nouns allow determiners (a, the, that, etc.) as specifiers and adjectives do not allow noun complements.
Heads are the most important category of an XP and must belong to the same category, i.e. every NP must have an N head, every VP must have a V head, etc. In the NP the big red boat, boat is the head, while in the AP most extraordinarily awesome, awesome is the head. Heads (Xs) and phrases (XPs) may be used interchangeably in phrase structures.
Complements have the closest relation with the head and usually must occur adjacent to it and do not allow any category to occur between it and the head. For example, in the sentence They decided on the boat in the kitchen, on the boat is the complement and in the kitchen is an adjunct. This is proved by the fact that They decided in the kitchen on the boat sounds bad (ungrammatical).
Specifiers are usually closed-class items which specify the head or head + complement complex. Noun specifiers include articles, demonstrative pronouns, quantifiers like much, some. Verbal specifiers are usually auxiliaries or predicate particles. Adjectival specifers are intensifiers like very, almost, right.
Adjuncts are head modifiers which may be added infinitely. For example, there is no limit on the number of adjectives which may be added to a noun: the big long red gruesome . . . limosine. The same is true of adverbs: Tweeky ran quickly, surreptitiously, . . . and unsuspectingly into Lance's arms.
The adjunct phrase is an X' node which contains an X' node. This allows for infinite recursivity, which distinguishes adjuncts from specifiers and complements.
The universal phrase structure of XP is realized differently depending upon whether the head is an N, V, A or P, and depending on the restrictions of a given language. The following table lists all the possibilities of NPs, VPs and APs, showing how they relate to XP in English.
All phrases comprise a head with optional specifiers, complements, and recursive adjuncts. Phrases differ in the categories which determine these phrases: nouns, verbs, adjectives and, possibly, adpositions. | 2019-04-25T11:56:03 | http://www.departments.bucknell.edu/linguistics/lectures/10lect03.html |
0.99806 | Let's explore the etymology of Hannibal Lecter's name, to see if we can confirm that he represents a personification of evil Jews, and of Satan. Starting with Hannibal's last name, Lecter is related to the name Lechter, which is derived from the name Lichter. Lichter is a German and Jewish (Ashkenazic) occupational surname for someone who made candles or possibly for someone who tended a light, from an agent derivative of from Middle High German lieht, Yiddish likht 'candle', 'light'.[a] Due to this name symbolism, we see that Hannibal Lecter represents Jews, within some context.
Left: The nine-branched Hanukiah.[Image from the Wikipedia 'Menorah (Hanukkah)' page, public domain, via Wikimedia Commons.] Above: Lecter bites Officer Pembry on the face in Memphis.
Let us now analyze Lecter's first name. The name 'Hannibal' means "grace of Ba'al" from the Phoenician hann "grace" combined with the name of the god BA'AL. Hannibal was the name of a Carthaginian general known for his cruelty, who threatened Rome during the Second Punic War in the 3rd century BC.[c] BA'AL is a Northwest Semitic title and honorific meaning "master" or "lord" that was used for various gods who were patrons of cities in the Levant. Worship of all such spirits was rejected as immoral, and many were in fact considered malevolent and dangerous.
As can be seen, the etymology of Lecter's first name confirms that he represents a personification of Satan, and this taken with his last name indicates a correspondence between evilness and certain Jews. As we've already observed, Lecter represents evil hermaphroditic Jews (recall from part 8 of the analysis, that the hermaphroditic aspect of Lecter is due to the 'femaleness' within him, insofar as he corresponds to the witch, Baba Yaga).

0.999998 | In the last lesson, How Technologies Work, students built a crystal radio and immersed themselves in the science behind their project topics. Now students examine the components that make up a simple technology, the light bulb, as well as the raw materials needed to manufacture it. Students then observe that there are many different materials used in manufacturing a light bulb, and that these raw materials come from all over the world. This activity provides an introduction to the next activity, Project Research: Materials, in which students use a database of raw materials and their global sources, to conduct research on their project topics.
Identify that the materials used in modern technologies come from many different countries.
Validate the following statement in writing: Modern technologies encourage global relationships.
Students examine a light bulb on the overhead projector and discuss its historical context. Students draw a light bulb.
Teacher and students discuss the light bulb parts. Students label a world map with raw materials.
Students reflect on the global resources needed to make a light bulb.
Students write a paragraph discussing the statement: Modern technologies encourage global relationships.
Place a sample clear light bulb on the overhead projector. Focus the projector until the insides of the bulb can easily be seen.
Tell students that the light bulb on the overhead projector is called an incandescent light bulb. Every incandescent light bulb has a filament, bulb, and base. Point out that fluorescent lights contain mercury vapor instead of a filament.
Ask students if they remember who invented the light bulb? (Thomas Edison) Tell students that the light bulb was invented in 1870 and that the original light bulb used a filament made from plant fibers. Explain that, although the materials in today's light bulbs are different, the basic design is the same.
Ask students what they remember about the invention of the light bulb from reading the Student Reader Article, "How are New Technologies Developed?" (assigned for Activity 2.2, Choosing Research Topics.) Who invented the light bulb? (Thomas Edison) When was the light bulb invented? (1870) What was the original light bulb filament made from? (Plant fibers) Explain that, although the materials in today's light bulbs are different, the basic design is the same.
Divide students into teams of two to three students each. Distribute a copy of the Dissecting Technologies Student Activity Sheet to each student and one clear light bulb in a sealed, clear plastic bag to each student team.
Ask students to be very careful in handling the light bulbs so that they do not break.
Tell students to begin the activity by drawing the light bulb on the backside of their activity sheet, labeling as many parts as they can. Let them know that it's okay if they don't know many of the parts. Allow approximately 5 minutes for this. Remind students to handle the light bulbs carefully.
Display the transparency: Light Bulb.
Begin probing for the names of common parts of the light bulb and ask students to speculate on what the parts might be made of. Students should easily recognize glass, copper, and perhaps tungsten or aluminum. Point out that glass is often made from several different substances. You might also ask if students know what alloys are. (Two or more different metals combined.) Explain that one common alloy is brass, which is made of zinc and copper. Write the correct answers on the overhead transparency. (See the Light Bulb Teacher Answer Key.) Tell students to correct their own drawings as needed.
Have students complete Step 2 on their student activity sheets: Match the different parts of the light bulb to the resource table at the bottom of their activity sheets and record these in the column labeled "Light bulb part."
When they are finished with Step 2, have them move on to Step 3 of their activity sheets, identifying and labeling which resources are found in a particular country. Display the image: Labeled World Map for students to refer to while they work.
Bring the teams together as a class. Ask students if they see a relationship between raw materials, global locations, and the manufacture of light bulbs. Probe for comments that point to the fact that the light bulb is made up of materials that potentially are imported from all over the world.
In addition to the raw materials to construct light bulbs, ask students if they can think of other things that are also required to make a light bulb work. Probe for answers that include electricity generated by solar cells, dams, and generators.
Remind the students to meet in the computer lab for the next class (for Day One of Activity 4.2, Project Research: Materials).
EXTENSION: Depending upon the number and variety of items collected for Activity 1.2, Defining Technology, you may want to let your students "dissect" telephones, digital clocks, radios and other complex, modern technology items. Prior to dissecting these items, set up boxes or bags with labels to assist students in sorting components into different material categories. Some recommended categories are: glass, metal - copper, metal - other, wood, and plastic. Safety is an important issue. Dissecting technology items to their basic components can be difficult and pieces may fly off as students struggle to get things apart. This procedure can present obvious eye and face hazards. Provide some basic tools, such as pliers, screwdrivers, and hammers, as well as eye protection for each student.
As homework, ask each student to write a paragraph that discusses the following statement: Modern technologies encourage global relationships. Collect the paragraphs at the beginning of the next class.
Purchase or collect enough clear glass light bulbs to give one per student team. They do not need to be operational and can be different shapes and sizes. Place each light bulb inside a sealed, clear plastic bag.
Remind the computer lab resource teacher that your class(es) will meet in the lab for Day One of the next lesson, Activity 4.2, Project Research: Materials. | 2019-04-22T22:27:22 | http://voyagesthroughtime.org/technology/sample/lesson4/act1.htm |
0.993522 | Earth enlargement by the accumulation of spacedust won't work. It's a tempting idea if we think of the planet accreting from planetisimals and that infall is just a continuation of the same process that got the planet together in the first place, but it fails on simple mass considerations.
If we could roll the entire crust up like a carpet (or a cigarette), including the crust of the ocean floors, and shove it down into the mantle, it wouldn't make one whit of difference to the size of the planet. That is, everything that ever fell, together with all redistributed sediments, as well as carbonate precipitates, volcanic extrusions and intrusions, and granites derived from the Earth's interior (which really shouldn't be counted at all) , ..the whole lot, .. from the Archaean to the present day, it would hardly make any difference to the size of the Earth. Even if all of it were cosmic dust it would make no significant difference whatsoever to the size of the Earth. So there's no way dust accumulation from cosmic infall could have anything to do with the growth of the planet. Case closed.
Unless the base of the crust is being resorbed into the mantle at the same time as stuff is falling on the top. But that can't be either, or stratigraphic sequence as we know it (right back to the Archean) would not exist. As things are, we do have continuity of stratigraphic sequence to the Archaean.
Nevertheless there's a certain logic in it that's appealing. Stuff needs to come from somewhere. And it needs to be added. So, what if we're just looking at the wrong scale?
Could it be that cosmic infall is in the form of elementary atomic particles that are somehow swept up directly into the core of the earth, possibly via the magnetic field ?
The Earth with its iron core rotating in the electromagnetic field of the sun's radiation is like a big electromagnet after all. And the atom comprises mostly space. And it is said that the size of particles to the size of the atom is something like the size of peas to a football park, ..or like the size of planets compared to the space between them. So the Earth is not as solid as it appears. At that scale there is plenty of space (theoretically) for particles to find their way through the Earth's interior even though matter seems impenetrable to us.
But even though we might speculate on the process in relation to the mass of the Earth today, it has to begin at the beginning, and if we're going to have a mechanism to make the planet grow, then it has to be at least considered that it could be somehow related to the same process that created the Earth in the first place. And if for one planet, then for others too. This means that planet Earth cannot be considered in isolation, but as part of the family that includes the Sun and the Gas Giants. And we might as well throw in the Moons as well. It really gets to be quite a can of worms, once we start thinking about it.
Not only that, but it leads us into re-considering the way that material organises itself, from sub-atomic particles to atoms to molecules to crystals, and the part played by structured symmetry in growth.
These are not questions that can be answered within the scope of geology, but there is something about the 'immaculate conception' ('creationist') model of planetisimal accummulation/ formation, where an invariant mass of 'stuff' was there in the first place - always was and always will be, imbued with the mass and rotational characteristics we see today, that seems very iffy. The increase in the size of the Earth that is empirically observed yet for which there is no known explanation, is making it clear that some hard questions need to be asked of quantum mechanics and astrophysics if 'science' as promulgated by "real scientists" (with their measuring tapes) can rise above their extraordinary capacity for being masters of the college ( with their view that what they don't know isn't knowledge), and consider the evidence staring them in the face instead of ignoring it - that the Earth is getting bigger. The evidence for, lies in the creation of the ocean floors (and all other Earthly parameters). The evidence against? .... lies in the hubristic assumption by scientists that this cannot possibly happen. Properly stated this should carry the riders "there is no known way," ... and "within the bounds of understanding", because when it comes to answering the really big questions we are still as babes in the wood, goggling with fixed curiosity at our surroundings.

0.999926 | What should be their application to the producers and users of free software with specific reference to medical care?
We consider the care of children important, yet apply different standards to those who are paid to attend children, than to those who provide help or supervision free of charge in their own homes, despite that these can be the same children. Regulatory efforts are therefore not a cut and dry system of applying rules purely and solely to achieve a uniform outcome but, in many cases, in the aim of achieving a "generally right thing".
In the context of Patient Management Software (PMS), including Electronic Medical Record (EMR) software, I would offer the considerations below.
I am hoping that any Regulatory agency striving to foster quality would do so without an unduly expensive process that stands to extinguish the type of diversity and innovation seen with small and notably free software projects. Projects which can ill-afford the expensive hoops better-survived by large institutions, to the latter's eventual and strategic benefit.
In the case of "products", we customarily regulate quality mainly, if not purely, only up to the original point of sale to the consumer. Only extra-ordinarily is there an expectation of still meeting the original standard at the point where a product is secondarily redistributed. Some goods like pre-owned automobiles, despite that they may have suffered a decline in quality, remain adequately examinable by any consumer who would acquire it.
The quality management system (QMS) standard is, in the case of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems, a proxy for the actual inspection, and testing, and any repair or other alteration of the software which – in a free (liberated) open source software or "FLOSS" model – is a freedom fully accessible to the consumer. This has been largely if not entirely unavailable to users of non-free, closed-source "proprietary" software, at least traditionally.
For convenience, and despite that not all of the last-named above fits the following description, let us in the worst case scenario refer to it hereafter as opaque lock-in software (OLIS). Let us also take the view that despite such a label, a well-managed OLIS could achieve a high-level QMS and could surely help to achieve quality health care delivery, albeit at costs that can be substantial.
Setting aside all contractual relationship elements, and focussing only on quality, and in a scenario where the producers of a particular FLOSS or even OLIS software version would not have made explicit (nor obtained certification of) their quality management system, the question becomes whether the deployment and usage of the software by the end-users would be any different than if the end-users had written their own software.
The Regulator must therefore ask itself whether it will outlaw all end-user modification of generic tools which would then serve these users' own needs, since typical EMRs – despite being "packaged" – already combine "off the shelf" component tools which combine a database, a programming language, a connection server and a graphical user interface. To argue that the end-user who built their own EMR from a word processor (which within it may have or link to database and sort and manipulate functions in addition to internal programming languages) is a false argument.
The Regulator must then consider that – if it will not outlaw these uses – then on what basis would it disallow the sharing of copies of such software systems among such users with common needs. The next extension is the concept of multiple individuals or groups within a community, each deploying a copy for their own use. If such a group put everyone's record in a single giant database used by all – not that we should – there would be no distribution from its point of origin. This form of EMR, despite that it would be a giant EMR, would presumably be exempt. This is, in fact, what some government facilities do, and the reasoning under which government bodies can write or multiply-deploy software exempt from government's own Medical Device QMS requirements bears re-examination.
Regulators can fail to appreciate that in designating software divorced from hardware to be a Medical Device, they are bringing under Regulatory control either virtual devices or, in the case of centrally-deployed and remotely accessed systems, software as a service which the regulators risk defining as then regard as out of scope. What will be the regulatory stipulations when medical practitioners would subscribe to a service hosted outside of Canada, where not already precluded by privacy legislation? What then of the public who might choose to host their personal health information on a system like Google Health. Surely this is a Patient (Health) Management Software, therefore shall Google Health be multinationally regulated to require certification and licensing?
There is a danger that the Regulator would here be seen as not exercising quality requirements that place accountability where it lay. In the case of consumers of traditional OLIS, their accountability for using the software is shifted upstream to the locus of control because, as consumers, they can only try to influence, but cannot control, their source of manufacture, nor be helped to discern any of its failings through internal inspection. That forms the basis for a Regulator to require of the OLIS manufacturer a certification for the QMS as a the proxy to safe and effective function of the software.
Where however a patient management software is made available to those who could come and help themselves to it, whether on an internationally-available server computer or through point-to-point sharing within a user community per any of the scenarios above, the accountability should be on the users, except where they would have conjointly assigned an upstream QMS proxy that accepted and undertook this responsibility. In the case of a FLOSS software, this could be a community-supported non profit corporation, but there exist presently mainly just appeals to principle for such investments.
In absence of such an arrangement among a user base, and where their EMR had not achieved ISO 13485 certification (be the EMR of type OLIS or FLOSS), each user group – for example, each medical practice – should be responsible to document their own QMS.
There is a precedent for this, in the existing requirement for doctors working in the private sector to establish their privacy policies and privacy practices. These, any patient can request to be shown. So too should it be for any medical device(s) that are in use. One can argue that it could be transformative for the public, as patients, to be more-transparently provided with evidence of QMS processes which, in many practices, may commonly be inadequately defined.
The benefit of such an approach would be to drive medical practices to higher levels of collaboration and co-operation and adoption of quality practices, whether those would be through such work at the community collaborative level, or whether it would be achieved on their behalf through a proxy of a non-profit organization (where they would build one to achieve the certification) or through an OLIS or FLOSS entity.
Even while we want satisfactory QMS in place, whether this be a case of the consumer inferring it, from an EMR having ISO 13485 certification, or a case of a QMS that is demonstrable by its users absent the formality of certification, may be less important to quality delivery. Here seems the important point – where any medical users would have the capacity to use any non-certified software, the objective should not be to obstruct the use of the software, but to require the users to develop and make available documentation for their own QMS. This approach would place the pressure where it should reside. One could even extend the argument, by asserting a duty on doctors to document a QMS around their _non_-electronic patient record system. Their need for better quality patient information management, and care delivery, would create a movement to adopt EMR functionality where, and how, it would add quality and value. This would drive adoption of EMR functionality for the right reasons!
Medical practices which would rather align inside an established quality system, such as a certified OLIS or community-supported FLOSS entity might provide, would achieve part of their work done for them. Many doctors do tell me "I would rather just pay somebody the extra, to provide me something that has already been worked out, than to have to do it myself". Many would find it simpler to just go with a certified OLIS "vendor". But we should also look to ways to get the medical community to abide or support the costs of OLIS and FLOSS softwares that did not yet get certified. That would make them better softwares, which should be the point of all this.
The Regulator-approved registrars could be approached to identify a process in which medical offices which use computers for anything more than billing and scheduling – and arguably (per above) even those who don't – should have to provide QMS documentation as to their records management, including any electronically-assisted care components that are not ISO 13485 certified. The impact on the practice must be non-injurious. In any one practice, in any one year, it should be limited to something like a half day of time for the doctors in the practice, and a cost of maybe $200 per full time doctor-equivalent capped at $1000 per practice. This could be deployed under a random audit system, with an intensity that fell within the joint capacity of Registrars and Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons – the long-standing regulatory bodies for care delivered by doctors – with whom such a process development should naturally reside.
Short of such a system, I cannot see that the Regulator could come up with an approach that would take account of the fact that doctors who use self-made systems, and those which don't, may also be using many other electronic patient management tools independent of what may or may not be an ISO 13485 certified EMR. | 2019-04-22T10:58:04 | http://wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/Gnumed/CertificationProsAndCons |

0.999205 | The terrifying prospect of a no-deal Brexit on March 29 remains in play after the British Parliament emphatically rejected Prime Minister Theresa May�s withdrawal agreement with the EU. Although it is tempting to reset the clock and give negotiations more time, that instinct must be resisted.
ATHENS � The overwhelming defeat that Britain�s Parliament inflicted upon Prime Minister Theresa May�s Brexit plan was fresh confirmation that there is no substitute for democracy. Members of Parliament deserve congratulations for keeping their cool in the face of a made-up deadline. That deadline is the reason why Brexit is proving so hard and potentially so damaging. To resolve Brexit, that artificial deadline must be removed altogether, not merely re-set.
Leaving the European Union is painful by design. The process any member state must follow to exit the EU is governed by Article 50 of the bloc�s Lisbon Treaty, which, ironically, was authored by a British diplomat keen to deter exits from the EU. That is why Article 50 sets a two-year negotiation period ending with an ominous deadline: If negotiations have not produced a divorce agreement within the prescribed period � March 29, 2019, in Britain�s case � the member state suddenly finds itself outside the EU, facing disproportionate hardships overnight.
Moreover, this realization affects the behavior of other key players: Tory government ministers opposed to their prime minister, the leader of the Labour opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, members of Labour�s front bench who are opposed to Corbyn, and the German and French governments. Every significant political actor in this game has an incentive to sit back and let the clock tick down to the bitter end.
Indeed, the worst aspect of May�s deal, which Parliament emphatically and wisely rejected, was that it extended the transition process until 2022, with the UK committing to paying around $50 billion, and possibly more, to the EU in exchange for nothing more than unenforceable promises of some future mutually advantageous deal. Had Parliament voted in favor of May�s deal, it would have prolonged the current gridlock to a new cliff edge three years hence.
The only plausible reason for resetting the Article 50 clock is the aspiration to hold a second referendum on whether to rescind Brexit altogether. But, unlike the first referendum, which could be framed as a yes-no leave-stay question, there are now multiple options to consider: May�s deal, a softer Brexit keeping Britain within the EU�s single market, a no-deal Brexit, remaining in the EU altogether, and so forth. Agreeing on the precise form of preferential voting between these options is no easier than agreeing on Brexit in the first place.
To synthesize competing views into one coherent position, Britain needs more than a voting scheme: it needs a People�s Debate that the ticking clock makes impossible, even if re-set. The standstill and the phony negotiations will thus come to an end only if the made-up deadline is allowed to expire by a Parliament willing calmly to say �no� to unacceptable deals negotiated by May and the EU. Allowing the clock to run down is now a prerequisite for resolving the Brexit conundrum.
What will happen if the impasse continues until March 29, without a formal extension of the Article 50 period? The threat from Brussels is that the EU will shrug its shoulders and allow a disorderly Brexit, with substantial disruption to trade, transport, and so forth. But it is much more likely that German business, along with the French and Dutch governments, would be up in arms against such a turn, and demand that the European Commission use its powers indefinitely to suspend any disruption in Europe�s ports and airports while meaningful negotiations begin for the first time since 2016.
Once we are at, or close to March 29, heightened urgency will dissolve tactical procrastination. May�s deal will have bitten the dust, and Remainers will be closer to accepting that time is not on the side of a Brexit-annulling second referendum, perhaps turning their attention to the legitimate aim of a future referendum to re-join the EU.
Norway Plus would, of course, leave everyone somewhat dissatisfied. But, unlike May�s deal or a hasty second referendum, at least it would minimize the discontent that any large segment of Britain�s society might experience in the medium term. And, because minimizing the discontent, along with a deadline-free horizon, are prerequisites for the people�s debate that Britain deserves, the overwhelming defeat of May�s deal may well be remembered as a vindication of democracy. | 2019-04-21T14:04:42 | http://www.ocnus.net/artman2/publish/Analyses_12/Run-Down-the-Brexit-Clock.shtml |

0.999903 | PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Beyond giving the Buffalo Bills a better evaluation of quarterback Tyrod Taylor in his critical third season as a starter, Monday's signing of veteran receiver Anquan Boldin allows the team some flexibility in building their 53-man roster later this month.
Specifically, having Boldin could make it easier for the Bills to part ways with veteran receiver Andre Holmes and acquire a third-round compensatory draft selection next spring.
How? The NFL awards compensatory selections each year based on a net loss of qualifying unrestricted free agents from the previous offseason. This past spring, the Bills signed seven qualifying free agents and lost five, including cornerback Stephon Gilmore ($13 million per year) and wide receiver Robert Woods ($7.8 million).
Because the Bills acquired more free agents than they lost, they are not expected to receive any compensatory 2018 draft selections under the NFL's formula, which is not made public but is tracked by websites such as OverTheCap.com.
However, the Bills could release three of their seven free-agent signings and shift the balance in their favor. Having a net loss of one free agent during the 2017 offseason would likely result in the Bills being awarded a 2018 compensatory selection at the end of the third round for Gilmore. Moreover, releasing four of their seven free-agent signings would mean a net loss of two free agents and an additional fourth-round selection for Woods, based on projections by OverTheCap.com.
General manager Brandon Beane, while he did not directly address the issue Monday of acquiring picks for the losses of Gilmore or Woods, made it clear he is aware of the potential benefit of the compensatory formula.
"I wouldn't be doing my job if I don't pay attention to that so obviously, I do," he said. "But again, I'm factoring a lot of decisions -- a lot of reasoning going behind every decision. But I'm very aware of, when I walked in, how the [compensatory pick] formula works. I believe you use it when you can, but not in throwing a worse team out there as well."
Boldin, who does not factor into the compensatory formula because he was signed after the May 9 cut-off date, could push Holmes out of a starting role. Holmes, who signed a three-year, $5.15 million deal in March under former general manager Doug Whaley, has mostly taken first-team reps in training camp and has also been a part of multiple special-teams units. If the Bills released him before final cuts, he would count $1.4 million in dead money this season and $1.1 million next season.
Two other free-agent signings the Bills could consider releasing are guard Vladimir Ducasse and defensive end Ryan Davis. The dead money against the Bills' cap would be negligible in either case. Ducasse has mostly seen snaps with the second team at right guard, but the Bills could instead keep promising center/guard Jordan Mudge. Davis began training camp as the top reserve pass-rusher but has been out of practice since Friday because of a concussion. Eddie Yarbrough has emerged as a viable candidate to fill his role.
Beane and coach Sean McDermott must eventually decide if they value the 2018 third-round selection enough to part ways with three of their signings this offseason. But if Boldin quickly supplants Holmes as a projected starter in Buffalo, the decision could become easier. | 2019-04-25T14:38:22 | http://www.espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/28407/how-signing-anquan-boldin-could-help-the-bills-get-third-round-pick |

0.997422 | TOKYO - Honda Motor Co. said on Friday the production of a version of its Fit subcompact car in China was on schedule, but added it may need to delay the rollout if the deadly SARS virus is not contained.
The company was responding to a report in the Nihon Keizai Shimbun newspaper that the spread of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) virus had forced the automaker to postpone the start of production by one to two months from the originally planned date of July, due to the return home of Japanese engineers and trouble procuring parts.
The paper said Japan's second-biggest automaker may have to put off production even longer if the epidemic continued to spread.
"We said we were going to begin production in summer and there has been no change to our plans," Honda spokesman David Iida said.
"Of course nobody knows what is going to happen with SARS and there may come a time when we have to reconsider our plans but at this stage there has been no change," he said.
In early April, Honda banned its staff from traveling to China, leading to the cancellation of business trips by 20 employees. A spokeswoman said it had no immediate plan to lift that ban.
At a Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA) gathering a day earlier, Honda President Hiroyuki Yoshino told a small group of reporters that there were currently no changes to its production plans in China, but conceded that the travel ban would inevitably upset a smooth execution of the plans.
But ING Securities analyst Kurt Sanger said any short-term delay would have little impact on Honda's bottom line, and might even be positive for profits.
He noted that the Fit would be built on the same production line as the Accord sedan and Odyssey minivans, meaning that if the rollout of the Fit is delayed, the automaker would simply build more of the popular Accords to meet a backlog of orders, estimated at two to three months.
"We would expect that as long as the backlog of orders for the Accord exists, Honda would have concentrated production on the Accord anyway," Sanger said.
"Indeed, that might in fact have a positive impact on earnings," he said, noting that the Accord was a more profitable model than the Fit.
Late last month, Honda posted bumper profits for the year ended in March, unveiling a record operating profit of 689.45 billion yen ($5.92 billion).
This year, Honda plans to produce 70,000 units of the Accord -- up from 45,000 units in 2002 -- 20,000 units of the Odyssey and 20,000 units of the Fit at the Guangzhou plant. | 2019-04-25T23:41:13 | https://www.autonews.com/article/20030516/REG/305160704/honda-says-sars-could-delay-fit-rollout-in-china |
0.999997 | Interdependent Task is a task that is performed by all members of the group assigned to this task. Such a task requires joint effort and collaborative work of the group to reach success. It also entails use of common resources available to the group.
Teamwork is the key condition for an interdependent task to be performed. A collaborative and productive group of people which has the ability to work as a team will perform interdependent tasks effectively. Members of this group need to share information, materials, and expertise amongst each other to do their interdependent tasks.
Interdependent tasks are usually delegated to groups that have sufficient resources. The contribution of each group member should ensure effective use of resources in order for interdependent tasks to be completed. Examples of resources are time, knowledge, funds, technology etc.
Interdependent tasks can be assigned to group roles shared between several or more members. Each group role may include a series of interdependent tasks, and related group members need to work as a team to do their roles and complete interdependent tasks. | 2019-04-21T03:21:06 | http://www.taskmanagementguide.com/glossary/what-is-interdependent-task.php |
0.994169 | Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow brought her powerful interpretation of Detroit's racially charged 1967 riots home to the city in the world premiere of Detroit, saying she hoped the film would encourage a wider dialogue nationwide.
Detroit recreates the civil unrest by African-Americans in the city 50 years ago, and the little-known police interrogation and shootings of three black men at the Algiers Motel.
The movie Custom Avalanche Jersey , out in major US cities on Friday, has a rare 100 percent-positive review score on aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes with many movie critics calling it timely but painful to watch.
Bigelow, in Detroit for Tuesday's premiere, noted that although the events took place a half century ago, unarmed black men were still being shot by police in the US.
"These events keep happening. I mean look at how timely and topically it is with Michael Brown Colorado Avalanche Jersey , Trayvon Martin, Laquan McDonald, Freddie Gray," Bigelow said.
Brown, Martin Matt Nieto Avalanche Jersey , McDonald and Gray were killed in separate incidents between 2012 and 2015. Martin was killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer.
"I think [the film is] an opportunity to encourage or invite a dialogue about bridging a divide this country desperately needs, in my humble opinion," Bigelow added.
Bigelow, 65, was the first woman to win an Oscar for directing with her 2008 Iraq war movie The Hurt Locker. Bigelow also directed Zero Dark Thirty Nail Yakupov Avalanche Jersey , the 2012 thriller about the US military mission to hunt down al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
In Detroit, actor Will Poulter plays a white, racist police officer who was subsequently tried and acquitted of all charges in the shootings.
"I think like a lot of other white people, sometimes the topic of race is often uncomfortable or difficult. I'm hoping that a film like this will encourage people to talk about this topic when we're invited into the conversation," Poulter said.
Adam Graham J.T. Compher Avalanche Jersey , film critic for the Detroit News, wrote that the movie is "an intense, gritty, explosive recreation of a grim moment in one of our city's worst chapters."
"It hurts, because it needs to. This is not a film about civic pride or the city's comeback. We have to own this Carl Soderberg Avalanche Jersey , and Bigelow highlights this ugly moment on its 50th anniversary. Yes, the city has moved on, but this incident still stings, and Detroit reopens wounds that fester," Graham wrote.
JAKARTA， Dec. 29 (Xinhua) -- The threat of terrorism would likely to persist in Indonesia in 2017 after a spate of terror attacks with a dozen suspects having been killed or arrested by Indonesian police this year.
The archipelago country in Southeast Asia witnessed increasing terrorist activities in 2016 with 170 terrorism cases nationwide. That figure was significantly higher than 82 recorded last year.
"The increasing terrorism cases were related to the ongoing situation in Syria and Iraq，" Indonesian Police Chief General Tito Karnavian said on Wednesday.
The joint international military campaigns against the Islamic State strongholds in those two countries made IS looking for other countries to host their worldwide operation.
"The massive airstrikes conducted by joint forces made them cornered this year. It forced them to launch their operation from outside Syria and Iraq. Indonesia is part of countries they have targeted，" Tito said.
The Indonesian police would also intensify monitoring nationals travelling to Syria and those who come back from that country.
The measure was aimed at preventing the spread of IS radical ideology possibly disseminated by those returning from Syria.
"Once they are found (to have joined IS) we would name them suspects，" Tito said.
According to the police， around 600 Indonesians travelled to Syria this year.
The Indonesian police would strengthen their coordination with the Foreign Ministry and counterparts from Malaysia， Singapore and Turkey， he added.
The police will also continue the efforts to hunt for Bahrun Naim， an Indonesian Muslim militant fighter who has close links with IS senior leaders. They have contacted authorities from related countries regarding the task.
"We also intensify efforts to dismantle his communication network with his cell groups. We suspect that he is now hiding in Syria or Iraq，" Police Headquarters spokesman Boy Rafly Amar said.
Bahrun， who was identified of being closely linked to terror attacks in Indonesia this year， recruits and runs his cells operating in Indonesia through internet chat Apps.
Indonesian police's anti-terror squad has foiled several attacks planned by 13 Bahrun-linked cells， killed five and arrested more than 20 in several provinces in the past week.
They were accused of plotting terror attacks， including in the presidential palace and during Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations. | 2019-04-18T21:08:44 | http://aseksuell.diskusjonsforum.no/aseksuell-ptopic537.html |
0.99947 | Feature Labs CEO Max Kanter explains how automating feature engineering for machine learning can help data scientists and why CIOs should care.
Feature engineering is an integral part of creating a machine learning model. The process transforms raw complex data sets into explanatory variables -- "features" -- that make machine learning algorithms work, explained Max Kanter, CEO and co-founder at Feature Labs Inc., during a recent conversation about automating feature engineering.
"Automating feature engineering optimizes the process of building and deploying accurate machine learning models by handling necessary but tedious tasks so data scientists can focus more on other parts of the process," Kanter explained.
In this Q&A, he highlights the benefits and challenges of automating feature engineering for machine learning and explains how the Deep Feature Synthesis algorithm works. He also discusses what CIOs need to know about feature engineering.
How can automating feature engineering help data scientists?
That requires them to understand the problem and translate their understanding into a piece of code or a script they can run to extract the variables. Ultimately, they train their machine learning model on those variables. If they don't extract the right variables, a model that they built won't be accurate and won't perform well enough for them to actually deploy and help their business.
By automating this process, we can accelerate the time it takes to extract one of these variables, which means we can extract more variables and we can avoid errors that come out of this process. Ultimately, automating feature engineering helps companies and data scientists create more models and get better accuracy.
What are the challenges of automating feature engineering?
Ultimately, automating feature engineering helps companies and data scientists to create more models and get better accuracy.
Kanter: It is very challenging to automate the process because every company's data is different and has its own complexities. One company might collect information about how their customers behave on their website in one way, and another company will collect it with different column names, table or data bases to keep up.
Beyond that, if you want to create a general purpose way of automating it that works for companies in the retail space, but also would work for a financial services company where the domain is completely different because they are trying to predict something like credit card fraud, you need to have very general purpose algorithms.
How does Deep Feature Synthesis work?
Kanter: Deep Feature Synthesis is an automated feature engineering approach that, essentially, can be applied to many different types of data, ranging from marketing use cases to financial services use cases to healthcare use cases. The general principle behind it is we're trying to emulate how human data scientists would approach these problems.
Deep Feature Synthesis works by having a library of feature engineering building blocks called primitive functions, and each one of these primitives is labeled with the type of data it can input and the type of data it can output.
To give you a very simple example, you can imagine a primitive that took in a list of numbers and outputted the maximum value in that list. We have a library of many of these primitives and when we get a new data set, Deep Feature Synthesis looks at the specific column and relationships in the data and figures out which primitives to apply. That's how it can take the generic primitives and create specific features.
You might also need to extract very complex features to get a highly accurate model, so these primitives can also be combined on top of each other and stacked. That is why we call it Deep Feature Synthesis, because we figure out how to combine primitives in the right order to create the right features. Much like a human data scientist would, we brainstorm a list of potential features we can calculate on a data set. Then we start calculating them one by one and prioritizing and ranking them so that the end user of our software gets recommendations of the most important features to use for their data sets.
What should a CIO know about feature engineering?
Kanter: If it's their first time using machine learning to develop a new service or deploy any product, the most important thing for CIOs to recognize is that without the right features, their machine learning model won't work. It's very important that they recognize that they need to do this, whether it's hiring a team of expert data scientists to do it, or taking advantage of new software to automate [feature engineering] to enable their existing resources, or using open source software that can help them do it.
Every CIO trying to apply machine learning should recognize that they need to have a strategy around how they are going to prepare data for machine learning and feature engineering.
I suggest CIOs adopt three best practices for developing this strategy. First, focus on the problem they're solving and not just build the most accurate model possible. Second, when they begin that process of finding the right problem, make sure they have a structured approach and they're not just developing ad-hoc scripts and connecting random pieces together, because then they won't be able to scale that process up for the future. Finally, they should make sure they bring all of the stakeholders to the table.
What best practices has your organization adopted for implementing feature engineering for machine learning? | 2019-04-26T12:15:32 | https://searchcio.techtarget.com/tip/How-automating-feature-engineering-can-help-data-scientists |
0.999701 | Apple is slashing its sales forecast for the iPhone X, according to multiple recent reports coming out of Asia. But investors should take these claims with a grain of salt.
For most of 2017, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock moved steadily higher. However, the iPhone maker stumbled in the last week of the year, due to several reports suggesting that demand for the new iPhone X isn't living up to expectations.
There's bound to be some level of uncertainty about how the iPhone X is doing until Apple releases its next earnings report. (Even then, management isn't likely to report iPhone X sales separately.) Still, the doom-and-gloom claims that captured a lot of media attention last week are almost certainly inaccurate.
Is Apple slashing iPhone X orders?
Last Monday, Taiwan's Economic Daily News spoiled Apple shareholders' Christmas by reporting that the company had cut its iPhone X sales forecast for the upcoming quarter by a stunning 40%. The new forecast is 30 million, down from 50 million, according to the report.
At least two other Asia-based analysts also reduced their iPhone X shipment estimates recently, according to India's The Economic Times. They joined a recent chorus of analysts who have argued that the iPhone X doesn't have enough innovative technology to justify its high price point.
Several publications have claimed recently that iPhone X demand is fading. Image source: Apple.
However, other analysts have cast doubt on these bearish reports. The week before Christmas, prominent analyst Katy Huberty of Morgan Stanley named Apple her top pick for 2018, based on rising demand for the iPhone X in China. Meanwhile, Jun Zhang of Rosenblatt Securities stated that the Taiwanese media reports may have erroneously referred to the iPhone X, and that the cuts actually related to the cheaper iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus models.
The recent reports alleging that Apple is slashing its sales projections for the iPhone X are based on supply chain data, which is notoriously unreliable as a predictor of iPhone sales. Yet the most widely covered report -- the one stating that Apple had cut its iPhone X sales forecast from 50 million to 30 million -- is particularly suspicious.
To be quite blunt, the idea that Apple might sell 50 million iPhone X units next quarter is highly implausible. Given that the model has a starting price point of $999, unit sales of 50 million would translate to more than $50 billion of revenue. Including the rest of Apple's iPhone models and its other product lines, this would imply quarterly revenue of close to $100 billion, up from $53 billion a year earlier.
For comparison, even the most bullish analyst on Wall Street expects Apple's revenue to hit "only" $83 billion next quarter. The average revenue estimate is around $69 billion. Thus, it's extremely unlikely that Apple ever expected to sell 50 million iPhone X devices next quarter. This in turn suggests that the sources for this report aren't reliable.
Shipping about 30 million iPhone X units next quarter would actually be a solid result for Apple, given that other models are also selling reasonably well. Indeed, the X accounted for only 30% of U.S. iPhone sales in its first month of availability, according to a recent report from research company CIRP.
That figure was probably depressed due to supply constraints. It's also possible that the iPhone X represents a higher percentage of iPhone sales outside the U.S., especially in status-conscious China. Yet even if the iPhone X accounts for 40%-50% of the mix next quarter, it would imply 60 million-75 million total iPhone shipments -- assuming that Apple does ship 30 million iPhone Xs -- up significantly year over year.
Thus, the reports that Apple shareholders seem to have panicked about aren't very worrisome. iPhone sales may not be meeting the most bullish pundits' forecasts, but iPhone X usage has been rising at a steady rate, according to analytics company Mixpanel.
Usage statistics also indicate that combined sales of the three new models are roughly in line with the level of iPhone 7/iPhone 7 Plus sales last year. With older models selling better this year (due to higher price tags for the 2017 models), average selling prices rising, and non-iPhone revenue increasing strongly, there's potential for strong revenue and earnings growth at Apple. | 2019-04-23T11:55:07 | https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/12/31/the-reports-of-iphone-x-order-cuts-make-no-sense.aspx |
0.999968 | Below is a synopsis of the article which will appear in full in the Kildare Nationalist next week.
Michael Smyth was born at Rosetown, Athgarvan, Newbridge, on 9 March 1888 to Terrance and Anne Smyth, both of whom were born at Rosetown. He was educated at Two-Mile-House National School though his mother had taught him to read and write at home.
By 1911, still at Rosetown, Michael was a postman and became actively involved in the Labour Party/ITGWU shortly after being elected as a Labour member to Kildare Co. Council and also Newbridge Town Commission/Council in 1920. He remained a Co. Councillor for some 38 years, standing down in 1967.
He became Secretary of the new Company of Volunteers formed in Athgarvan in June 1914. A split occurred and a new company of Irish Volunteers was formed with Michael as Company Captain in September of 1915. He was deputed to buy arms and ammunition but found it difficult to get them from the Curragh Camp. He became Secretary of the National Volunteers and arranged to buy weapons and ammunition from them for some £300 – some of these were sent to Dublin in March 1916.
Michael had mobilised the Athgarvan Comapny on Sunday of Easter Week but saw the countermanding order and did not march to Dublin. They remained mobilised for the week, awaiting further instructions. He was arrested on 2 May and lodged in Hare Park, the Curragh. From there he was brought to Richmond barracks on 8 May and deported to Wandsworth Jail on 2 June and interned in Frongoch Camp on 26th June – number 1124, Hut 24, North Camp. He was tried at Wormwood Scrubs Prison for receiving ‘£300 in German gold’ to buy arms, found guilty and sentenced to two years in jail. Returned to Frongoch, he took part in a hunger strike in November and was detained in South Camp Frongoch until 23 December 1916 when the general release of prisoners was made.
At home in Ireland he once again became active in the cause – he was appointed Kildare Battalion Commandant in December 1920 as the War of Independence raged. He received a Death Notice ‘By Oder H.M.F.’ (Her Majesty’s Forces) to force him to desist from these activities.
Arrested on 3 July 1920 by a party of Black and Tans Michael was badly beaten and imprisoned at Newbridge Barracks from 7-13 July. He was transferred to the Curragh and later to Mountjoy in October until he was released on 14 January 1922 as part of the General Amnesty. Michael remained neutral during the Irish Civil War.
He remained in politics becoming one of the driving forces of Labour in Co. Kildare and was elected to the Senate in 1943.
On 17 Oct 1934 he married Miss Annie Murphy, daughter of Mrs Alice Murphy and the late Patrick Murphy, Belan Avenue, Moone. His best man was Senator William Cummins and Michael and Anne honeymooned in London.
Newington House is in the townland of Christianstown (Ord. S. 17) and the parish of Feihcullen, which is partly in the barony of East Offaly, but chiefly in that of Connell. Feighcullen comprises 3,835 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act. According to the Tithe Applotment Books of 1826 Newington House, the residence of Samuel Neale, comprised 131.2.0 ARP with a rateable value of £13.5s.41/2d. In the entry for Feighcullen in Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary of 1837 ‘the gentlemen’s seats are Newington’ House, the residence of Samuel Neale, Esq. According to Griffith’s Valuation of 1853 the occupier of Christianstown was Sarah E. Neale and the lessor Samuel Neale, whose house, offices and land comprised approximately 507 acres at an annual rateable valuation of £414.
The Kildare Observer of 22 September 1883 carried an advertisement for a midwife, which referred to Joseph Manly Neale, Esq., M.D., Newington House, as Honorary Secretary of the Robertstown and Kilmeague Dispensary District. In 1887 J. Manly Neale, Newington House, was nominated as a land valuer by the Irish Land Commission. In April 1899 Dr. J.M. Neale was appointed warden of the Robertstown Dispensary District. Dr. Neale seemed to be a collector of archaeological artefacts as the Journal of the Co. Kildare Archaeological Society mentioned, on two separate occasions, that he had in his ‘possession’ a granite cap or top-stone of a sculptured Celtic cross and ‘a panel belonging to the Wellesley monument, which was carried off, and is now used as an ornament in the garden’.
The 1901 census returns for Newington – a first class house with twenty rooms – are as follows: Joseph Manly Neale (63); Irish Church; head of the family, who was born in Co. Kildare. His wife was born in Dublin. They had two daughters and one son – Samuel (23) – all born in Co. Kildare. A series of advertisements and meadow sales from 1910 to 1928 established that Newington was the residence of J.M. Neale in 1910 and Samuel Neale from 1911. It is assumed then that J.M. Neale died before the 1911 census as in the returns Samuel was described as a farmer and head of the family, while his mother was described as a widow.
'In the goods of Samuel Neale, late of Newington, Newbridge, in the County of Kildare, Gentleman, deceased.
All persons claiming to be creditors of the above-named deceased, who died on 21st March, 1947, are hereby requested to forward particulars of their claims (in writing) forthwith to the undersigned Solicitors for the Exequtrix.
Mrs. Samuel Neale was a prominent member of the Kildare Archaeological Society until her death. Newington House was sold and later demolished and a new residence built on the property.
Everything had to be done neatly. There were periodic inspections for tunnels. All operations were kept as secret as possible in case of spying. We agreed that whichever tunnel was through first would be made available to the other teams, so that all could escape at the same time.
After a few weeks we got word that one was ready. The escape was planned for that night. Newbridge was an old cavalry barracks. There was a large manhole in the square. It was connected with an old main sewer. The authorities had shown nervousness about this, thus drawing attention to its possibilities. The sewer ran right through the centre block, into the Liffey about 300 yards away. The tunnel was dug from a ground floor room into the sewer.
Each block of four rooms was self-contained and each room held nearly twenty men. Word was passed to everybody who knew of the tunnel. No person could leave his block, by order on penalty of being fired on by the sentries. At about seven each night a whistle was blown and each man had to withdraw from the square to (presumably) his own block until morning. There was no check afterwards, however, on the occupants of each block.
The tunnel was not in our block and a few minutes before whistle time we got ready to move in silently to the escape block. A message was however passed to us that the escape had been postponed until the following night. When the whistle blew we went to our own rooms.
The following morning whilst in bed somebody whispered in my ear that 70 men had escaped. It was true. The information given to us at the critical moment the night before was wrong. We moved into the empty escape room and took it over.
The authorities knew nothing of the escape. It was in our favour that the day was Sunday. The prisoners here, as in Limerick, also looked after themselves. The soldiers merely acted as guards on the outside.
On Sunday usually, there was little or no connection between them and us. Before an hour, the escape was known to all the prisoners. It was made clear, however – with the aid of butchers’ knives from the cookhouse – that drastic measures would be taken against anybody trying to pass out information. As it happened, no information was passed out.
We knew nothing of the working of this tunnel – all who did were gone. A wiry, diminutive lad – Hussey of Killarney – was selected to make an inspection that morning. He came back, leaving his shoes outside – perhaps that he would have an excuse of going out for them again, or to prove that he had made the journey.
We decided to escape that night. We found it would be impossible to get away by day. And now we had a bit of trouble. We prisoners had our own commanding officer. He now approached us and claimed the right to take over control, as he was anxious that a batch of key Dublinmen would escape first. We very reluctantly agreed on condition that ours should be the second batch.
When the whistle blew in the evening for everybody to go to their blocks, there were up to two hundred men in the escape block. We waited. An hour passed. We wondered what was delaying the first party. They were patiently waiting in a ring round the tunnel entrance in the escape room.
At last the O/C called for attention. It was now about 8.30. The escape was called on, he said. He had definite information, he said, that there was an armoured car outside with machine guns trained on the mouth of the tunnel. Naturally and very correctly, of course, he refused to be responsible for sending unarmed men to their deaths. After the order his men fell back from round the coveted spot. We edged in and took their places. At that moment we felt responsible to no-one but to our individual selves. Turning to them I said “Are we going to drop it?” There was no doubt about their “No”. I lifted the neat square board that covered the hole, and threw it aside – the bed underneath which it was hidden had already been moved earlier that night. Hussey, the guide, went first, and each of us who had elected to come followed him.
After about a dozen feet, we got into the sewer. We were able to crawl without difficulty on our hands and knees. The distance seemed long. It seemed to take over an hour. The noise made by the crawling line – about 25 of us – seemed very loud. We passed under a sentry box. It seemed almost incredible that he could not hear us.
Tom O’Brien had a new blue suit on. Earlier in the night he had carefully wound a cloth round the legs to preserve it. He was after me, I kept asking him how his suit was. It was unnecessary to ask.The knees of our trousers were soon worn through, and then the skin began to come off at the knees and palms.
There was a disused sawmill on the bank of the river. The sewer passed beneath it. The architects of the tunnel knew their geography well and they bored right up into the mill house. The entrance to the river had been blocked with iron bars by the Free State authorities. We waited to give a helping hand until all were up. We decided that five of us should make the first attempt to cross the river – the others to wait until they were sure that everything was in order, and then come as they wished.
We crawled out in single file, turned to the right along the bank for a hundred yards, in order to avoid going too close to where we knew there was an outpost, and then struck straight across the river. The river was high enough to cleanse us after the sewer. O’Brien carried his cigarettes and matches in safety under his cap. Suddenly a light shone down on us, along the river. We froze, crouching where we were, expectantly. It slowly lifted, turned aside, and passed on. It was probably the light of a car travelling the Naas road.
We climbed a steep bank on the other side, into a large field. Then we were free.
Never again do I hope to experience the exultation I felt going up that field – the joy of being free.
When we reached the top of the field, we were together. Suddenly from behind, I heard my first name called. I waited. A young lad came running up, 15-years-old Tully O’Sullivan of Tralee. He asked me to take him with us.
Thinking he would be too great a liability to us and to himself I advised him to go back and link up with another party. He pleaded and I consented. Just then another figure loomed up. Nash from Newcastle West. He like O’Sullivan had also stolen after us, and he pleaded to be allowed accompany us. He had been wounded previously and on that account, perhaps we consented.
*** … us glowed the huge wall of light, forming a ring of death in the barbed wire around the camp.
We didn’t bless the whitethorn hedges – favoured by the farmers in Kildare and Dublin – through we had to force our way.
After about an hour we heard continuous bursts of gunfire coming from the direction of the camp. We knew the escape had been discovered. We later learned that one party of escapees – not the one that came with us – had been caught under fire. We heard afterwards that some were killed and wounded. One wounded man, swept down the river, got into a friendly house and escaped. Some went back through the sewer again. We heard also that one went astray in a smaller offshoot and got stuck there.
There were Free State posts at Naas and Blessington. It was important that we go between them. Our star carried us right through. When daylight came we approached a house for food. The poor woman had no bread. She baked us a cake on the griddle. We ate and rested in a nearby wood until nightfall.
*** … the village of Brittas. Somebody had a half crown. We bought a few bottles of stout and set out again by road.
Shortly after leaving the village, we met four officers on a sidecar – probably from the aerodrome at Tallaght! They looked at us, and we looked at them. They said nothing and passed on. We thought they must suspect us and might organise a search party. We took to the fields again.
Then Allman hurt his knee crossing a fence. We could go no further. We looked for the light of a house, but could see none. We came on a field of hay left out to feed sheep or cattle for the winter. We made a bed in a dry dyke and slept until morning.
That day we got into Rathfarnham. The two Dublin lads and I slept for a week in a loft of a cow byre. The other four found refuge – through the help of a friendly priest in a barn. The gardener supplied food. They were closeted at hand for a week, as they had to remain, as they had to remain there until Allman’s knee was better.
Then one bright Thursday afternoon, armed with one service rifle, three Webley revolvers, a bottle of iodine and some bandages and a very good map of Ireland we turned our faces to the South, out by the Hell Fire Club, down across the Dublin Mountains on our journey home. There were five of us: Allman, Hussey, Nash, O’Sullivan and myself (four Kerrymen, one from Limerick).
As we came off the mountains on the road near Glencree we heard the sound of a bugle call. We immediately took cover in a ditch, and sent young O’Sullivan forward to investigate. Being young he was not likely to be suspected. He reported back that it was a Reformatory, run by a religious order – on semi-military lines, I presume, hence the bugle.
We knocked at the door and asked for our dinner. The Superior was called and we could see that he did not like our appearance. We had to certify that our arms were for defence only (like all great nations do).
He admitted us and provided us with a very fine dinner. He didn’t seem to like our side. It was dusk when we left Glencree, and followed a grass grown road made to subjugate Michael O’Dwyer, many miles long and wide, running through a huge glen. We were tired and there was no house except the broken-down block houses sight. That night we slept under a large overhanging rock. The night was cold and there were showers of sleet. It was the end of October.
We had no overcoats and our summer clothing was thin and scanty. (We from Kerry had no connection with our homes since capture). Some of us had no shirts. They had worn out in prison, and we had made ourselves instead a sort of long undergarment, from army blankets. We slept fitfully through a very long night, huddled on top of each other, for warmth.
At daybreak, we found we were only a short distance from a house surrounded by trees. It looked big, and we suspected a military post, as we had one marked on our map in the locality. We spread out and closed in cautiously.
*** … carded slings were scattered in the open hall. The soldiers had been there and had gone.
We knocked up the caretaker – it was a shooting lodge. He lit a fire and we thawed out. He made a huge container of tea and gave us all the bread he had - not much. He said he had to bring the flour six miles from Laragh on his back.
After a few hours we set out again, keeping as far as possible to the mountains. It was safer that way. To us, mountains were a natural safeguard. They had always been our main chance of survival. We made straight for Mount Leinster, up a sheep track, over the top and down near Borris-in–Ossory.
From there straight to Slievenamon and then to the Galtees. Rivers were a difficulty – bridges are usually on or near town, and they were occupied. We forded the Slaney, and crossed the Barrow by boat. We approached the Nore about a mile underneath Thomastown and were shown a ford. It was in flood and looked high and wide.
As we sought a place to cross, we saw a party of soldiers on the other side. They saw us and retreated towards Thomastown – we guessed for reinforcements.
We had no alternative now. We got into the water and crossed. Here young O’Sullivan was nearly drowned. He was being carried off when somebody pulled him out by the hair.
We slept in outhouses, stables, in the kitchens of farm labourers’ houses. Somehow, they understood human needs and frailties better than their richer neighbours. We developed an amazing brand of lice. Their quantity and quality in such a comparatively short time was truly phenomenal.
Once (in Carlow), we approached a very large residence for our dinner. The owner had a title of some sort, and we wanted to give him a chance to atone for some of the sins of his ancestors by contributing something to the Republic. He took us into a parlour, and produced a bottle of whiskey. He probably suspected who we were, because he showed us a newspaper which gave account of the big Newbridge escape.
His good lady assisted the maids to wait on us, and presented us with a towel and soap on our departure. We found the offer slightly embarrassing.
So far we hadn’t met any of our own, and when we did it nearly proved our undoing. We went astray on the Galtees, and instead of going west we turned north into the glen of Aherlow. We struck on a Republican doing sentry duty for a Column, east of Galbally. We met the members of the Column (McCormack’s) in nearby farm-houses and were entertained royally.
*** …We made a vow that we would not rest in bed again till we reached home in Kerry.
It was Saturday night at 7 o’clock when we started out again on the last lap. We met a rabbit trapper and we pressed him into our service. He took us out of the mountains and put us on the road.
We went on by Milford, Broadford, skirted around Charleville, which was occupied. Travelling all night, we arrived in Tullylease in County Cork about 11 o’clock, and we met the people as they were coming out from Mass.We parted with Nash at Rockchapel.
At Brosna (Kerry), we said good-bye to Hussey and Pat Allman. We were to meet again. In Pat I was reminded of what I had read was not yet 20, and was then of Red Hugh O’Donnell. He was not yet 20, and was then a Battalion Commander. He had already shown before his capture, and was later to prove himself a born leader and a very brave man.
Even his fine physique could not save him, however. In four years he was dead from much hardship and many wounds.
At about one o’clock on Monday morning we reached home – Knocknagoshel, a little hill-top village beyond the Cork-Kerry-Limerick border. I knocked on the house of a friend, Charlie O’Donoghue. He got up, opened the door. He passed no remark, motioned us to sit down. He put the fire together and hung an oven. He sliced the bacon. He made the tea. We ate and went to bed.
To-morrow was another day. If we had only known it, what had happened was but a very little episode of what was to come- all part of the uneasy pangs of a nation being born.
What percentage loss of population did Kildare town experience during the famine decade 1841-1851? Why do you think Maynooth was chosen in 1795 as the location for the Royal College of St. Patrick? How does historic Maynooth or Kildare compare to other Irish towns? The answer to these and many other questions can be found in Reading the Maps: A guide to the Irish Historic Towns Atlas. This is a user’s guide to the 23 atlases that have been published in this series. The book compares and contrasts the development of 21 towns around the country.
• This new publication from the Irish Historic Towns Atlas, Royal Irish Academy uses an historical and geographical approach to understand the evolution of Irish towns and cities through the ages.
• The book is richly illustrated with maps, historical plans, views, illustrations, reconstructions and photographs with several featuring Kildare.
• It explores themes such as ‘buying and selling’ and ‘amusements and pastimes’ and has chapters dealing with particular periods of urban development in Ireland from the monastic town to the nineteenth-century resort town.
• Reading the Maps is a book for everyone but also a particularly useful tool for teachers and students, with ‘test yourself’ boxes to encourage reflection and further study.
• Previously in the atlases the stories of these towns were told individually; now in Reading the Maps they are told collectively as well.
• The authors Dr Jacinta Prunty and Professor Howard Clarke are both editors of the Irish Historic Towns Atlas series and have published widely on Irish towns and map history.

The reorganisation of St. Patrick’s Fife and Drum Band, Droichead Nua, may not be of more than passing interest to younger readers, but for many older people it will recall many memories. The history of the band stretches back to 1848 and over that century-plus of music making many members of well-known Droichead Nua families were associated with the band.
In recent years, Droichead Nua people have seldom heard their town band for it has been an up-hill fight by the few members to prevent total disintegration. Never once, however, have they failed to greet each New Year with a parade through the town on New Year’s Eve.
Over the past few years, they have been helped out by the few surviving members of the Bishopwood Band, who find themselves in the same position as St. Patrick’s.
Down through the years, St. Patrick’s Fife and Drum Band was closely associated with the independence movement - the staff in use now had its first outing at Parnell’s funeral and the bass drum was presented by the Volunteers in 1914. In 1918, the band played at Sinn Fein victory celebrations all over the county for many years played at the Wolfe Tone commemoration at Bodenstown.
At the close of the last century, when the population of Droichead Nua was little over 1,000, the town could boast of three bands – St. Conleth’s Brass and Reed Band, The Parnell Band, and St. Patrick’s Fife and Drum Band. On the death of Parnell, the Parnell Band joined with St. Patrick’s.
One of the best known Kildare horses of the early fifties, Indian Hemp, bread at Ardenode Stud, Ballymore Eustace, by Captain Spencer Freeman, died of a heart ailment early this year at California, USA.Bread in 1949, Indian Hemp, sired earners of more than £1.7 million, including £36,00 earner, T. V. Lark which is 14th in the list of leading earners. Capt. Freeman sold him as a yearling at Newmarket for over £7,000 to Sir Humohery de Trafford.Raced by Sir. Humphrey and trained by Marcus Marsh, Indian Hemp, at two won the Windsor Castle and Tattersalls Sales Stakes, was second in the Exeter Stakes and third in the royal Lodge Stakes. He was ranked at 121 pounds on the free handicap, 12 pounds below the high weighted Windy City II.Max Bell, the Canadian industrialist, bought Indian Hemp privately after he came third in the Newmarket Stakes, at three. After being beaten by a neck in the King Edward VII Stakes at Ascot, he travelled to the US in ’52 for the Washington DC International but was unplaced. In 1952 he won the Yerba Buena Handicap, came second in the lakes and Flowers and San Pasqual Handicaps, and was third in the Hawthorne Gold Cup, Washington Park, Charles E. Bidell, Tanforan, Chicago and Bay Meadows handicaps.After winning seven races and earning £42,500 he was retired in 1955. Syncicated in 1960, he was eventually moved to Mrs. Connie M, Ring’s Three Rings Ranch near Beaumont, California, where he died. Other big earners sired by Indian Hemp, include Linitt, Mr. Wag, Old Moses, Hempen, Judge Savage and Prince Hemp.Indian Hemp was among seven foals from stakes – placed Sabzy, a daughter of Stardust which Capt. Spencer Freeman sold to C.H. Jones and Son in 1954 for almost £1,000. Sazby produced four winners in the US from five reported foals, including the dams of All I Can and Starry Prince, stakes winners.

A man who played a vital role in building the House of Shaw into the largest commercial group of its kind died last week at his residence at Cardenton, Athy, aged over 90 years. He was Mr. Samuel Victor Shaw, native of Mountmellick.
The commercial empire he left behind started in Mountmellick about 1864, when his father, Henry Shaw, set up a successful little drapery. Henry’s widow took over in the 1890s, and with the help of her children opened in Portlaoise a large general drapery and footware store as an extension of the business. Her son William, managed the new premises.
In 1902 a slim fair-haired boy arrived in Athy to serve his time to drapery at the Duke St. establishment of John A. Duncan. His name: Samuel V. Shaw. His hours were long, 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., and for his labours he received 2/6 (12 1/2p) a month pocket money. When he had completed his apprenticeship his mother sent him to London to learn tailoring. Before he left he urged her and his brother, William, to buy Duncan’s business if it went up for sale. In 1914 a telegram he received in London from his mother summoned him home; Duncan’s premises had come on the market, and had passed into the ownership of the Shaw family.
On his return to Ireland he entered into the family business, and when his brother, William died in 1929 took over the running of the Athy branch. Under his guidance, Shaws acquired a second premises in Duke Street and entered into the hardware/furniture business. A further development in the Shaw family was in 1934 when the firm was registered as a limited private company, Shaw & Sons, and he became its managing director. His mother had died some years previously.
Under his skilful management the firm grew very much larger. It acquired the Waterford City concern, Robinson, Ledley & Ferguson, in 1940 opened a branch in Carlow in 1949, and took over the big Gaze & Jessops business in Portlaoise in 1954, and developed it further as a general hardware, farm and machinery and furniture business. His next venture on behalf of the Shaw group was to open a branch in Roscrea in 1964, and in the last decade extended their activities by opening a branch in Ballymun. Actively engaged with him in the group extensions in recent years were his sons, Billy, Mervyn and Trevor. Up to the time of his death last week, he continued to act as the group’s chief executive and signed the bulk of the cheques.
The late Mr. Shaw had many qualities that contributed to his tremendous success as a business magnate. These included a spirit of enterprise, a quiet tenacity, a feeling for the exact requirement of the customers, and a capacity to ensure that these requirements were met with civility and at attractive prices. Everybody who had dealings with him found him to be a charming, affable man of extraordinarily even temperament, and possessed of a delightful sense of humour. He tool pleasure in meeting customers on the shop floor and exchanging a few friendly words.
Outside of the group responsibilities he found relaxation and exercise in attending to his farm and in tending his garden. For years he was a prominent exhibitor of pure bread Hereford cattle at the RDS Show, and won many major awards, including the championship of the Show. A first class gardener, he took pride in his produce; vegetables and flowers. To him the simple things in life mattered greatly. He stood very high in the community, a man for whom there was deep admiration and respect, and a great deal of affections,. He is survived by his wife, Nancy, sons, Billy, Mervyn and Trevor, and daughters Mrs. Betty Kelso and Miss Rosaleen Shaw. After Burial Service in Athy Methodist Church, he was interred in the family plot in Rosnalls Cemetery, Laois.
The new scheme of 130 houses proposed to be built between the Caragh Road and the Canal Basin , was again discussed at the meeting of the Naas Urban Council on Tuesday night. A lengthy debate took place as regards the Old Gaol and a resolution was passed eventually, that it be acquired and demolished. Mr. M.J. O’Donoghue inquired that now that the Town Planner was back from when would the proposed 130 houses scheme commence. The Chairman (Mr. MI. Fitzsimons) said that apparently more land was required. Town Clerk (Mr. Whyte – Negotiations are going on. I understand that the Town Planner has been with the Department and that the Department has approved in principle the lay-out and that now it is only a matter of completing the documents. Mr. O’Donoghue – Any chance of starting development work in the near future? Chairman – We must get the loan sanctioned. Town Clerk – The big job is the preparation of the bills of quantities. Until that is done we cannot advertise. Mr. Tom Dowling said that it was apparently intended to acquire the field at the rear of Mr. Noel Dowling’s house and also the small piece of road behind Mr. Frank Dowling’s new grocery store. “I was under the impression,” added Mr. Dowling, “that the gaol site would also be developed”. Town Clerk – No. Mr. S. Curran – I thought that a ball alley was to be built there. Mr. O’Donoghue said that the acquisition of Messrs. Dowling’ lands was a new one to him. He thought that they had acquired all the land that they required eighteen months or two years ago.
The Town Clerk said that the land was necessary to provide an outlet to the main road. Mr. Jack Lawler – I was under the impression that the old Gaol was to be taken down. Surely it isn’t intended to build 130 houses up against that? They should be ten miles away from a structure like that. Mr. Dowling – I think that it is a great eyesore there. Mr. O’Donoghue – It should be taken away. Mr. Dowling – It would make a marvellous building site. Mr. Daly – Would there be any chance of a contractor demolishing it for stone? Chairman – They would be no good for building purposes. Mr. O’Donoghue – Send one of the stones to instead of the Lia Fail (laughter). Mr. Jack Lawler said that they should draw the attention of the Town Planner to this anomaly – that they did not approve of the new scheme unless the Old Gaol was taken down. Mr. O’Donoghue – Put that in the form of a resolution and the Council will back it. Town Clerk – The Council have already approved of the scheme, but we didn’t know that we would have to acquire further land.
Dear Sir – On behalf of myself and my friends I find a little time to write to you a few lines concerning the “Leinster Leader” and how we all here look forward to receiving it from home. It is indeed a treat to read all the brightly edited news and to know how all our Gaelic games and sports are progressing in the county.
During my twelve months in Palestine the “Leinster Leader” was a welcome gift from home, and even to the present day we all look forward to receiving it. The Battalion is at present stationed in Egypt, and now that our duties have been reduced a great deal, we find more time to read the news from the homeland. I most sincerely hope I shall continue to receive it throughout my active service duties in the Middle East.
I would like to mention that during my service in Austria, 1945-46 with 1st Battalion, Irish Fusiliers, I and other Kildare soldiers were always on the look-out for the “Leader.” It helped to dispel the loneliness and brought us again in contact with our friends and people. I hope the good work will continue to reach those of us in exile.
I would like to thank all connected with the “Leinster Leader” for such a fine production and such a welcome gift to those abroad. – I remain yours faithfully, J. Kelly, late of 475, Ballymanny Cottages, Newbridge, Co. Kildare.
Gunner D. Finn, a member of Round Towers GFC, was one of the most popular men in his Company, every Monday that the 33rd Battalion was in the Congo – that was the day the Leinster Leader arrived.
“The Club arranged with us to have the paper sent each week. Everyone wanted to read it, and it went the rounds of the whole Company,” he said on his return.
Now the Leinster Leader is going out weekly, at the request of the Club to his brother, Trooper L. Finn, of the Armoured Car Group in the 34th Battalion.
The attention of all those interested in horse breeding, jumping and agriculture generally, is drawn to the advertisement in this week’s issue of the County Kildare Hunt Horse and Farmers’ Association Show, which is being held at Tipper Road, Naas, on Monday, 2nd August. Over £300 in cash prizes is being offered and as will be seen from the advertisement, very valuable premiums have been provided by the Royal Dublin Society for hunter stock. The County Kildare Committee of Agriculture have also given a grant of £50 towards the prize funds.
There are classes to suit all interested in farming, while classes for vegetables, flowers and fruit ensure that all gardening enthusiasts are provided for. Nation-wide interest will be centred in the open jumping competitions, and we are glad to state that the Army School of Equitation are giving a display of jumping.
After the Show a dance will be held in Mrs. Lawlor’s Ballroom, the music for which will be supplied by Billy Carter and his Band.
The Committee have asked us to remind those interested that completed entry forms should be returned on or before the 15th instant to the Hon. Secretary at 42 Main Street, Naas.
“There are seventeen people living in a two-bedroomed house (three families) in New Row,” commented Mr. Wm. Daly at the meeting of the Naas Urban Council on Tuesday night, when a letter was read from the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children drawing the attention of the Council to two families who were badly in need of houses in the urban area. It was decided to draw the attention of the County Manager to the matter.
For services with the R.A.F. in Palestine, Squadron Leader C. Harrington, M.B.E., of Natal, South Africa, who was born at Newbridge, Co. Kildare, was mentioned in despatches. He joined the R.A.F. in 1921 and was commissioned in 1941. He was made M.B.E. in 1943.
The monthly meeting of above was held in Kill National School. The Brigade Secretary, Mr. J. C. Delaney was present and gave a detailed account of resolutions which came before the Brigade meeting in Newbridge on Sunday 27th, ult. These resolutions dealt with medals, re-opening of pension claims, acquisition and division of estates, vesting of tenants in occupation over a number of years.
A lengthy discussion took place on the attitude adopted by the Land Commission towards Branch members, after which it was decided that immediate and direct action be taken.
The Brigade Secretary was directed to contact representatives from Straffan, Kilcock, Maynooth, Leixlip, Celbridge and Clane, so that they may come within the ambit of the association. It is however, a matter for regret that the Association of Old I.R.A. men was not in existence years ago, holding as it were a watching brief for all its members for just and equitable treatment.
on Thursday 23 June at 6.30 p.m.
We would like to invite you to the official launch of The Civil War in Kildare by James Durney on Thursday 23 June at 6.30 p.m.
1. That the Government be pressed to introduce a Measure embodying the chief, if not all the recommendations of the Viceregal and Royal Commissions on Poor Law Reform.
2. That a District Relief Board be established for Naas No.1 and Naas No. 2 Districts, consisting of Ten Members of the present Board of Guardians and Five Members of the County Council, with a Sub-Relief Committee of Seven acting under them, in the following Districts:- Naas, Newbridge, Kilcullen, Kildare, Clane, Ballymore-Eustace, and Blessington, for the purpose of selecting the number of deserving poor in each.
3. That the district Relief Board have the power of granting from the rates weekly pensions from 2s. to 5s. in all cases of deserving poor under the age of 70, and for this purpose and arrangement be entered into with the Postmaster-General so as to have all such pensions paid by the same method as at present adopted in paying the “Old Age Government Pensioners,” that is by cash order books payable at any Post Office, the County Council, on receipt from the Postmaster-General, to transmit twice in each year the amount stated therein required to meet all such pension payments.
4. That the present salaries of Doctors and Midwives, rents and allowances to caretakers of Dispensaries, be paid quarterly in future by the County Council.
5. That the present District Hospital be managed by a Board of Local Governors, as is at present done in the case of the Kildare Infirmary, and a set annual sum allowed for same from the rates by the County Council.
6. That the unused portion of the Naas Workhouse be sub-let at the existing head rents charged (a) for Workshops or Factories for the purpose of employing the people; (b) a County Agricultural Technical Schools; (c) a Sanatoria, or other useful purpose.
7. That the destitute weak-minded people at present located at the Workhouse be transferred to an Asylum, the cost of maintenance to be discharged by the County Council, and levied as a county charge in future.
8. That the Clerk of the Union, so far as Union charges are concerned, be directed to only raise in his estimates the required amount for three months – for instance, from the 31st March to the 30th June, 1910.
9. That all future instalments of loans charged against the Guardians be paid by the County Council, and raised by them as a Poor Rate.
10. All classes in Ireland agree upon the proposition that the eminence of the Poor Law system on the existing standard is both inefficient and unenomical. The poor Law relief, as at present administered, has only a demoralising effect, while it involves a reckless waste of money and time.
It is ludicrous to have able-bodied men and women supported out of the rates in sheer idleness. These we would propose to be ejected from the Workhouse. As for the remaining inmates, those of them who feel able to leave the House, and having a doctor’s certificate to that effect, we will give them 5s. a week conditionally – that is, they are neither to beg, steal, get drunk or, in other words, break the law; for three-serious convictions of any of the above-named will deprive them of their weekly allowance. And the sick poor we would suggest that the Hospital be renovated, and keep apartments for paying patients, and likewise to see that both paying patients and poor will be better treated than heretofore. Then as is mentioned in No. 6 of this Scheme, that every hole and corner of this vast establishment be utilised to the best advantage, so that, after some little time, it is our conviction, that this Naas Workhouse, instead of being a drag on the ratepayers, will turn into a paying institution.
Now we, the members of this Committee, consider it may not be in our power to abolish the Union just now. However, we feel that at least two good results will come from this motion. First, it will hurry up the Viceregal or some other Commission to action; and, secondly, it will prove conclusively to the world that there has been, not a fraudulent, but a terrible waste of money in the Naas Union.
That the master and several relieving officers furnish a correct report under the following headings – (1) number, age, name and former address of all able-bodied inmates at present in Naas Workhouse, male and female, stating the period resident therein; (2) number, name, age and address (if any) of all children at present in the workhouse; (3) number, name, age and address of all people receiving outdoor relief in Naas Nos. 1 and 2 districts; (4) a return of the amount paid in temporary relief by the relieving officers of the union in their several districts for the year ended 30th September, 1909.
The Clerk said the usual course was to have an important report like that printed and sent out to members, to be considered at another meeting.
The Chairman said what he considered would be the best way would be to send copies of the scheme to the members of Parliament for the county.
The Clerk said it would be first necessary that the suggestions should have the approval of the board.
Mr. J.S. O’Grady said they had no particular information in connection with the matter. They had nothing to show that the cost under the proposed scheme would be less than the present cost. Finance was the whole thing, and financial information they should have before them (hear, hear).
The Chairman said the committee considered that under the new scheme proposed the cost would be about half what it is at present.

It is winter, 1863. Rosanna Doyle, hopeful of a happy future with her soldier lover John, takes off to the Curragh camp to surprise him. But life still has some tough lessons for Rosanna to learn and she finds herself forced to join Bridget and the other ‘wren’ women of the Curragh plains. Making their homes in the furze bushes surrounding the camp, the wrens survive by offering their services to the soldiers.
Another, more distinguished, visitor is there that same winter; pressman Richard Tone has been commissioned by the great Charles Dickens to write about the women and he soon becomes engrossed in their lives.
Grounded in historical fact and based on his acclaimed radio play, Rosanna Nightwalker, and subsequent novel The Only Glow of the Day, Kildare writer Martin Malone has written a stage play of great power and tenderness which will be brought to life on the Moat stage by All Ireland winning director Barbara Sheridan.
Calling all Cycling Enthusiasts & Budding Historians!
An exhibition of historical photographs and information about bicycles and cycling down through the ages, running at Newbridge Community Library from 7th to 25th June.
In November 2010 Wordwell Books published a book of photographs of public art all around Ireland called By the way. Ann Lane, the author of the book, travelled over 16,000 miles to list 760 sites and take hundreds of photographs. The book was well recieved and since its publication Ann has been toying with the idea of a slightly follow-up book, a sort of hidden Ireland type.
'If there were any local sites/images/commemorations/beautiful hidden scene or scenic road/private gardens/quirky things in your area that you might feel would be attractive to foreign tourists - or indeed anybody - I would be delighted to hear about it/them. If there is a background story about the item that would, of course, be significant - especially if there is any legend involved. Having it publicised could help tourism in your area. I would certainly plan to include tribute statues, i.e., Bill Clinton in Ballybunion, Joe Dolan, etc., but I would have to know the artisyt of those pieces because they have to be credited in each case.
Sallins Catholic Church will be opened to-morrow (Sunday). His Lordship Most Rev. Dr. Foley, Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin, will officiate at the opening ceremony, which will consist of the blessing and dedication of the Church and the celebration of Mass.
The occasion will be one of great importance and rejoicing to the people of Sallins and district, who heretofore attended Mass at Naas, many being obliged to travel long distances, often under the most distressing weather conditions. The inhabitants old and young, have at last seen the realisation of their hopes for practically at their doors has been erected a house of worship, a compact little structure, admirably suited to their needs.
It is now more than fifteen years since the people of Sallins petitioned the Parish Priest for the privilege of having a weekly Mass celebrated in the village, and Very Rev. Fr. Norris, with that keen perception of the spiritual needs of his flock, which has been an unfailing characteristic of his pastorate, saw at once the necessity for a auxiliary Church, and gave to the petition his full support. Having obtained the sanction of the ecclesiastical authorities a committee was formed under his parentage and a collection was made for the purpose of giving effect to the project. Foremost amongst the committee were the late Mr. P.J. Healy, the late Mr. Patrick Byrne, Mr. Thos. Fleming and Mr. J.J. Flanagan, the energetic Chairman. In a remarkably short space of time the sum of £400 was realised.
Fr. Norris then conceived the idea of having a better and more up-to-date schools for the district and informed the committee of his intention to press the National Board of Education for a grant in aid of this purpose. In the early part of 1914 he was promised the necessary financial assistance and a site having been acquired the plans and specifications for the new schools were prepared. But the intervention of the world war upset all these arrangements. One of the immediate effects of the outbreak of war was the cancellation of the promised grants and the revered pastor and his willing co-operators – the people of the district – were thrown back on their own resources. Had his plans materialised he proposed that after the erection of the new schools, equipped on modern lines, the old ones should by a serious of alterations and additions be converted into a chapel of ease.
As a result of the rapid increase of the cost of building during the war years, the whole matter was left in the abeyance until 1923 when Fr. Norris and Mr. J.J. Flannigan made a new start. This time it was decided to utilise the site acquired on the first occasion for the erection of a wood and iron structure to serve as a house of worship. Tenders were invited from the leading firms in this class of building and eventually the execution of the work was entrusted to Messers. Harrison and Co. Camberwell, London. Fr. Norris now informed the committee that instead of building on the site given by G.S. and W.R. Co. he would be prepared to give the site of the school garden and adjacent ruins which he had secured some time previously. This generous offer was availed of and the clearing of the site and the laying of the concrete foundations were commenced – also the front entrance and boundary walls. Messrs. Harrison had completed their contract by February 21st 1924.
The church as finished looks rather plain in contrast to the fine examples of cut stone erected in more favoured localities. It is approached by two wide roadways. One known as School Lane – leading – from the main road affords a pleasant view of the little building with its fine entrance, and grounds planted with evergreen shrubs, and the other leads on to the Grand Canal, facilitating the parishioners in every way. These roadways have been re-surfaced and drained by the County Council, during recent weeks.
On entering one is struck by the happy arrangement of having two entrance gates and also two doors to correspond with those in the porch. The porch partition has two swing doors leading into the interior of the Church. There is also a small wicket gate and a passage for use of the officiating priest from the entrance to the vestry. The body of the Church appears much more spacious than one would imagine from its exterior aspect. It is fully seventy feet in breadth and has actual seating accommodation for 400 people.
The seats were made by Mr. T. Corcoran, contractor, Naas, and are the gift of Fr. Norris. The Church is perfectly lighted and ventilated and the Stations of the Cross look very beautiful and artistic in their oak frames, spaced as they are in the bays between each window, which is dedicated to the memory of the late Patrick and Mary Boushel, of two very worthy parishioners, is a perfect specimen of its kind. The central figure is the sacred Heart with the supporting figures of Our Lady and St. Joseph. The Alter, artistically designed, and made of pitch pine, well polished, is the gift of the late Miss Condron, Eadstown, and was made by the eminent firm of Messers Scott, Dublin, who also furnished the credence Table and Prieu-Dieu. The Communion Rail, of brass, was erected by the well known firm of Messrs. Gunning and Sons, Fleet Street, Dublin whose fine work may be seen in many Churches throughout the land. They also supplied the fine Sanctuary lamp, massive brass Candelabra and the sacred vessels and Crucifix for the Alter. On the right and left of the Chancel Arch hang two very fine pictorial representations one of the National Apostle and the other of St. Brigid. These were presented by Mrs. B. Hourihane, N.T., Sallins, in memory of her deceased husband, the late Hon. Secretary of the Church Committee. The vestries are convenient and well furnished in everything pertaining to the needs of a Church, thanks to the generosity and care of Fr. Norris who also gave the beautiful sacred vessels and vestments.
The bell which was erected by Mr. D. Corcoran, Naas, is the gift of the Very Rev. W. Lockhart, P.P., Eadstown. The people of Sallins are sincerely grateful to all concerned for the erection of a Church in their midst, fulfilling a requirement so ardently desired. To their revered pastor. Very Rev. Fr. Norris, a sense of lasting obligation is felt, for it is recognised that the earnestness and zeal with which he co-operated made success ultimately possible. He never once lost sight of the project, even when the pressure of the economic conditions compelled the committee to make an indefinite postponement of the work. On the occasion of his golden jubilee last year Fr. Norris presented the money gifts received from his parishioners to the Sallins Church Fund. A debt of gratitude is also due to Mrs. Reddy for the generous measure of her support, which went a long way, to the Chairman and members of the committee who were indefatigable, and to the farmers and others of the district whose carts, horses, etc., were readily placed at the disposal of the contractors.
Mr. D. Smyth, contractor, Sallins had charge of the carpentry section of the work, which he executed with his usual efficiency.
The soldierly figure of Mr Peter Lawlor of Pacelli Road, Naas, erect to the last despite his 79 years is gone from the scene. He died last week at St. Vincent’s Hospital, Athy. His career was an unusually colourful and varied one with long service at home and overseas. Native of Halverstown, Naas, he was a former O.C. Cavalry Corps at Plunkett Barracks, Curragh Camp. He was to retain a link with the Army stretching over four decades. From O.C. in 1924 to the time when he retired from his job at the cavalry workshops, 43 years later, he was held in deservedly high esteem. Peter fought in the Dardanelles with the 1st Australians (the famous Dinkums) in the first World War and joined Michael Collins on his return to Ireland. He got his commission as Commandant in 1922.
His career as a soldier also embraced service with Franco’s forces in the Spanish Civil War as an officer. A much-travelled man, he worked in various parts of Canada and in eleven of the States of America. He went to New Zealand in 1911 and returned to Ireland after World War I. He also served with the Old I.R.A. for a period.
The date of his death coincided with the 50th anniversary of the death of Michael Collins. Peter was extremely proud of the fact that it was Collins who bestowed on him the insignia of rank as Commandant in the National Army. He was a loyal supporter of the Labour Party.
Mr. Lawler is survived by his wife, Mrs. Barbara Lawler, who has been a patient at the County Hospital for some time, son, Frank and daughter, Jean who is a public health nurse in Peckham, London. Military honours were accorded at the funeral to St. Corban’s Cemetery, Naas, following Requiem Maas on Thursday. The attendance included officers of the Cavalry Corps and many former comrades, as well as a big representation of the townspeople. Rev. Fr. Ramsbottom, C.C., officiated at the graveside. With him while receiving the remains on Wednesday evening were Very Rev. J. McDonald, P.P., Kill, and Rev. D. Hogan, C.C., Kill.
Newbridge railway station opened in 1846 when the Great Southern and Western Railway line reached the town. Newbridge was then an important military centre, having its own cavalry barracks and being less than three miles from the celebrated camp on the Curragh. The railway station in Newbridge was kept busy with constant troop movements, but it was also a place for meetings, sales and unfortunately, accidents.
The first stationmaster mentioned in newspaper records was Mr. Hynes, who, according to the Irish Times of 15 June 1860, was presented in June 1859 with a silver cup from the officers of the 3rd Light Dragoons. The following year the same gentleman was presented with a lever watch by Colonel Sullivan and the officers of the 5th Royal Lancers, ‘for his uniform attention to those regiments whilst stationed at Newbridge’. A court case covered in the Kildare Observer of 17 December 1881 regarding an unpaid fare mentioned Martin Tighe, Newbridge stationmaster, as the main witness. Mr. Tighe is also mentioned in Slater’s Directory of 1881 as being the stationmaster in Newbridge. In a court case covered in the Kildare Observer of 7 October 1882 we find that hay, the property of Jonathan Tarlson, stationmaster, Newbridge, was burned. In his evidence Mr. Tarlson said he had bought the hay from the late stationmaster, Martin Tighe, six months previous.
The coverage of the funeral of local man Thomas Farrell in the Kildare Observer of 20 November 1897 mentioned Mr. J. Breen, stationmaster, Newbridge, as being one of those present. The 1901 Census returns for 17 Charlotte Street, Newbridge, give Thomas Manifold as the stationmaster in Newbridge. Thomas Manifold (44) was born in King’s County and was married to Eliza, who was ten years his junior. They had two children – Honora (18) and Mary (8), both born in Co. Cork. Manifold is still stationmaster a year later as he is mentioned as in attendance at the funeral of Peter Sullivan in the Kildare Observer of 4 October 1902. The 1911 Census returns for 2 Piercetown, Newbridge, give Patrick O’Reilly as the stationmaster in Newbridge. Patrick O’Reilly (46) was born in Waterford City and had then being married to his Tipperary-born wife, Maryanne (40), for fifteen years. | 2019-04-23T18:15:56 | http://www.kildare.ie/library/ehistory/2011/06/ |

Our applicators have no heat-weld seams, ensuring safe application of product, and they are designed to the correct firmness for smooth, even distribution of waxes and polishes. Great for car lovers who prefer to get their hands on their rides when bringing its shine to life. Machine washable.
Rated 3 out of 5 by BrianInSD from Love Griots products, not thrilled with these I very much enjoy my Griots Garage products, and hate to leave a bad review, but I wasn't all that impressed with these. In fact, I had such a frustrating time using them that I ended up demoting them to tire shine duty. The main problem I found with these pads is that they are VERY hard to hold onto, at least when using a stiffer product such as the new Poly Wax. Not kidding, every single one of them flew out of my hands and ended up on the ground from lack of being able to hang on while waxing, I eventually ran through the whole pack and had to go dig out one of my ol-reliable, larger microfiber pads to finish the job. I will continue to enjoy and use my other Griots products, but this one is not for me.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mark C from Dense pad for sealing and waxing works well! These pads are made from quite dense, high-quality foam. This allows them to evenly spread waxes and sealants rather than just absorbing them deep into the pad. The only disadvantage to the material is it does not like to conform to more complex shapes, such as when I use them to seal and wax my rims.
are the pads Red or due they come in different colors?
The Red foam pads are just for applying wax. We do have other pads that are different colors, depending on what correction or polishing you are trying to do.
What is the pads size?
The Red Foam Hand Wax Applicator is 4.25" in diameter and 1" thick.
Can these be washed and reused?Can they be reused without being washed?
To wash the Foam Pads we recommend you use our Microfiber & foam pad cleaner item 11078 or a mild detergent and warm water. After you have completed washing and rinsing the pads, hang them to air dry. | 2019-04-21T08:21:18 | https://www.griotsgarage.com/product/3+hand+wax+applicators.do |

GOAL: Create the initial element of your Business Model Generation your business Model Canvas.
Introduction: Using the Osterwalder and Pigneur Business Model Canvas as a resource (coupled with the other resources of the course), create a business model canvas of the business organization where you work. Since every organization has unique features, do your best to work at the application of the various components of the building blocks of the canvas. Show as much detail as you can so that it is evident that you comprehend the general business model of your organization. There must be a demonstration of synthesis of the procedure on your part. You may need to interview some of the management team to verify the business model details of your organization. You may also benefit from conducting an Internet search of the Business Model Canvas to become comfortable with how it works. There are many other YouTube-type videos on the web that demonstrate the use of the canvas. You will also find several good sources in the Lessons area of the course under the Reading and Resources tab of weeks 1 and 2.
You may create a Word.doc that lists the nine building blocks (clearly identify each one) and uses bulleted points in the same manner as Post-Its.

0.998233 | The first step of this task was to graphically create both virtual arena and simulated insect. To test the system, I have first implemented a sort of test tube, where actions are not driven by a neural system, but rather selected randomly. This was used to test the movements of the agent (e.g. whether the obstacles were effective or ignored), simulated perception of cues in the arena (e.g. whether the visual field was properly coded) and in general all the graphical features related to both environment and agent.
The second step was to record the graphical output, so to be able to generate short videos of the behaviour of the simulated agent. There are several examples online: in this case, you can see the video is essentially defined in three blocks of code lines: “video initialization”, “frame capture” and “video recording” (see below, commented text).
I share here this preliminary code as a relatively simple example of how to produce a live stream of graphical outputs and record it to be seen later on. Again, I want to stress here that the agent in this example does not rely on a neural system to produce its behaviour. The actual study based on the use of the neural system is currently under review.

0.999999 | What are the shutters that shares the same thread with modern copal shutters? In other words, if I have a lens in such a shutter (if broken) that I can easily replace by modern copal shutter without worrying about thread size and spacing problems.
There aren't really any standards, except modern Copal, Compur & Prontor shutters share common sizes 0, 1, 2, 3.
Ole has a list of Compound threads. Try S.K.Grimes website for others.
Compur and Prontor shutters were "standardised" from around 1930. They came in sizes 00, 0, 01, 1, and 2; of which 0 and 1 correspond to modern Copal shutters. most dial-set Compur shutters are "specials", i.e. not compatible with anything modern. The exceptions are largely Voigtländer and Schneider lenses - these two manufacturers used "standard" sizes even before the standard was established.
Compound shutters came in several varieties of #3, #4 and #5. Neither of these correspond to the Copal #3. The dimensions of these are in the post linked to in my signature; if you look at the whole thread where that post is, you will also find the specifications for Compur #2.
So Synchro Compur 0, 1 is a direct interchangeable with copal 0,1, right?

Ole's better at giving you a definitive answer but they should be. I've never needed to switch shutters.
All my old Compurs are without exception far more reliable than my modern Copals.
As always there's a slight caveat: There were some "special versions" of the Synchro Compurs too, which were modified to fit special lenses which needed very small cell spacing and had wide cells. But for anything even remotely normal, it's a direct fit. Even my 1928 Voigtländer Heliar 120mm f:4.5 is a direct fit in a modern Copal 0!

0.999696 | How can I setup Google Apps Email for a subdomain?
I have Google Apps setup for "domain.com". I'd like to receive mail at "[email protected]" how can I do this?
You will need to set up the correct DNS records against mail.domain.com.
This is all done automatically for you once the alias is set up.
I also face the same problem, I manage a domain 'fptb.edu.ng' and wanted 'students.fptb.edu.ng' to be supported by the same Google Apps account.
I simply added the subdomain 'students.fptb.edu.ng' as a new domain (not domain alias as some people advice), I did all the verification as required by Google Apps (I used File Upload verification method).
The main issue will come in editing the MX records, Google will advice you to leave the Host as '@' which is default, but what you need to do is to put the subdomain there, so that the first 5 MX records use '@' as host which points to the primary Google Apps account and the next 5 you will add should use your subdomain as the host, in my own case, I used 'students' as the host. I am using GoDaddy for Hosting, their DNS manager sees 'students' as 'students.fptb.edu.ng', so I dont need to enter the full address, yours might be different.
At the end, I have 10 MX records.
You don't do it directly.
You set a user for your base domain, say, user "foo" for domain bar.com.
Then, you add the subdomain grrr.bar.com, the normal way.
Then, you wait 24h, and, an alias will appear on the domain manager.
Then, you test the target email adress, and if it does not work, you go in gmail interface for that user, and add an alias in the USER Gmail interface.
I can not discribe details of each operation, because processes changed at least 4 times since I started using Google/Apps in 2002.
Fact you have to wait 24h before all alias are created for subdomains have been discussed here: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/Apps/Zb_jBFnhcIQ As said, this delay is not mentionned anywhere.
Once you see in your admin console that user [email protected] exists, and that subdomain grrr.bar.com also exists, then, just be patient (if you can; or if you can't, insult Google dev team on the forum).
My main user has 26 aliases; and about 12 subdomains; so, somewhere the dashboard says I have about 360 email aliases.
I also had to set the 5 MX lines for each subdomain; so my zone is at least 60 lines long as well (140 in preactice).
The way Google made things implies various side effects: you CAN NOT have different Gmail accounts for [email protected] and [email protected]; the second name is always an alias for the first name.
Alias due to subdomains are not counted in the alias count for a user; the limit of 30 alias per user do not apply (consider) to subdomains. My main user has 26 aliases, and 12 subdomains, and that single Gmail inbox receives messages for 26*12= ~360 email target names.
This is very poorly described in Google documentations. And my forum thread is locked.
There are many how-tos out there.
Setup your domain in google apps.
Change the MX records of your domain to point to the google mail exchange servers.
That is just a really high level overview of the procedure. Google apps provides lots of help in their FAQ site.

0.997939 | Rare Article: DIY PKMNCast Little Bug Cup!
On the last "It's Super Effective" we (jokingly?) suggested doing a tournament where only unevolved Bug types can be used. Honestly, with the Grey League going on, we probably won't start an official one in the foreseeable future. HOWEVER! I thought I'd present you Pokefolk with some rules to play with, in case a few of you wanted to do a tournament like this but did not want to put the effort into devising the minutia of the rules, you lazy slowpokes.
Wait! I didn't mean that! Come back, keep reading! I promise I won't call you a lazy slowpoke anymore, Ok? We good? Cool. Let's take a look at the main rules of the LBC (Little Bug Cup), shall we?
1. Must be bug type. Dual types, such as such as Weedle, are fine.
2. Must be able to evolve. In other words, no Pinsir, no Heracross.
3. Must be the first Pokemon in an evolutionary line. For example, even though Metapod has the ability to evolve, because Caterpie comes before it, Metapod is unusable in this tier.
4. Must have a base stat total of 320 or below. (Thanks to @alapponese (Angelo) on Twitter for this.) That means no Scyther, you cheap-o.
5. Pokemon can be no higher than lvl 15.
Obviously these rules will have to be flexible, due to the fact that a tier like this hasn't been tested. For example, I had first considered 350 as the base stat cap until consulting with Angelo, but that just encouraged the use of the same four Pokemon with a few curve balls to fill up the last two spots, and the point of this was to make a level playing field. Oh, and to be fun, that was the point of this as well.
As we test this we may find that there are some bans we might not have thought of. For example, while we have cut out Larvesta, the only unevolved bug that can learn Flamethrower, by implementing the stat cap, perhaps we need to ban Hidden Power too, because it can be abused to be super-effective against every opponent he faces. Maybe it is too weak for it to make that much of a difference. We can only figure that out by trying.
So, Pokemon trainers, I implore you to play around with this rule structure, and once you have perfected it by playing it, we could have something really fun on our hands.
Or, it could end up being a complete waste of time. Who knows if we don't give it a shot? | 2019-04-24T04:11:42 | https://www.pkmncast.com/classic/2011/7/21/rare-article-diy-pkmncast-little-bug-cup.html |
0.999862 | Who are the Corona card girls at the Mayweather v McGregor showdown?
Ring girls were chosen ahead of super fight at the T-Mobile Centre in Las Vegas.
Jessica Harbour, Tawny Jordan, Kyra Keli and Samantha Kumiko will be the card girls for the Mayweather-McGregor fight.
Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor might well be the headline act in Las Vegas this weekend but when it comes to action in the ring, the fighters might end up sharing some of the attention.
For decades, ringside girls have held up cards displaying the round number but as the hype surrounding Mayweather-McGregor continues to build, and with a potential record-breaking audience tuning in, four models will be centre stage for what has been dubbed "fight of the century".
The women - Jessica Harbour, Tawny Jordan, Kyra Keli and Samantha Kumiko - were chosen by beer sponsor Corona to participate in the year's most eagerly anticipated sporting event. Judging by their social media accounts, they appear ready for the world's gaze.
Jessica, 23, has appeared in TV commercials, magazines and posters and was on hand during the final Mayweather-McGregor press conference last week. In an online biography she described herself as "consistently complimented on all aspects of my appearance as well as all aspects of my job performance."
The 25-year-old bikini model wasn't aware Corona was even sponsoring the fight until she was told she'd be one of the card girls. "I'm more excited than nervous," she told Peoria Journal Star. "I've been in the ring several times. I love getting up there and just doing it. It's really cool to be one of the four."
According to her Instagram account, Kyra, 22, grew up in New York focusing on theatre and modelling "to pay the bills". She said she was "super honoured to be a ring card girl for this epic [fight]" and held a custom-made belt during the fighters' final press conference in Las Vegas.
Samantha has been card girl at numerous boxing bouts and was named ring girl of the month for August by a boxing website. She hinted at her political leanings with a retweet with #ImpeachTrump, as well as other anti-Trump messages. | 2019-04-21T11:05:36 | https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/who-are-corona-card-girls-mayweather-v-mcgregor-showdown-1636785 |

While Kendall and Kylie are, of course, really, really ridiculously good-looking (not to mention super stylish and famous from birth), making it big in the fashion business takes much more than that. And on Monday night in New York City, the youngest Jenners proved their salt in celebrating their first collection, Kendall + Kylie. The girls presented to a small, but key group of industry power players, such as Ken Downing, fashion director of Neiman Marcus and Roopal Patel, fashion director of Saks Fifth Avenue. The event, held at a private home in TriBeCa, was an intimate one, where the Jenners hobnobbed with press and also retailers—and the girls were all about talking business.
In covering the event, New York Times fashion critic Vanessa Friedman pondered whether the Jenners could follow suit with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who parlayed their celebrity into an esteemed fashion house, with a CFDA award to prove it. "Are Kendall and Kylie Jenner the Olsen sisters of the midprice market?" questioned Friedman. With #proudmama, Kris Jenner's Midas touch, the sisters seem to have such sartorial potential.
According to multiple sources, Kris Jenner herself was involved in every last detail of the event. She stopped to pose with her old friend Lance Bass.
PYTs Hanna Bronfman and Devon Windsor stopped by to offer their congrats to the Jenners and take selfies in the selfie booth (which was on a Jenner level of awesomeness).
About an hour into the party, the crowd quieted and it got really bright. So apparently that's when Kanye West walks into a room. The entire crowd had their iPhones in the air with flashes ON.
West was beaming with pride for his sisters-in-law and stopped by for some photos with them, his mother-in-law, Ian Connor, and A$AP Rocky.
Kendall Jenner's cage sandals. Beyond.
Martha Hunt and Josephine Skriver stopped by.
After business, must come pleasure. After the meet and greet, Kendall, Kylie and friends, stepped downstairs to dance to tunes by DJ Virgil Abloh. And yes, everyone went crazy when Beyonce's "Formation" came on. One girl even climbed up a ladder and danced on it. So that happened.
DJ Virgil Abloh and Kendall chatted for a while. | 2019-04-21T21:33:52 | https://www.glamour.com/story/kendall-kylie-nyfw-launch-part |

0.954044 | It is not uncommon for Gels to be offered once or twice in the latter miles of a marathon, but is that the right time to eat them? Are one or two Gels the right number?
Aid stations are not 10-15 minutes apart for most runners. If aid stations are 2 miles apart, then only the faster runners will move between them in under 15 minutes.
It's hard to consume 8-16 oz of drink at each aid station, as each cup provides only ~4 oz, and it's hard to drink it all rather than wear it when running.
Drinking 8-16 oz every 10-15 minutes under cool conditions can lead to the need to urinate, which impacts finishing time. I would not recommend this approach for hydration - see Practical Hydration.
I have rarely had a sports drink in a marathon that is well made up. Mostly it is too dilute, and occasionally very strong.
To get 30-60 grams of carbohydrate an hour from energy gels requires a gel packet every 30 minutes. This would be 8 gels in a four hour marathon, which is much higher than most people consume. There is evidence that this extra intake can not only improve performance, but also reduce muscle damage. (See Nutrient Timing for more details.) I know of some good marathon runners who practice this approach. One of them takes his first gel at mile 1, then every 5 miles after that, which works out as every 30 minutes at his marathon pace.
The guideline of a gel every 30 minutes will need adjustment for each athlete. Heavier athletes may need more and lighter may need less. Faster athletes may need more gels and slower athletes less.
It may be worthwhile to consume a packet a couple of minutes before the start of the race. It is easy to consume a gel at this point, and the body can start to digest it while at relative rest.
There is some evidence that adding protein to the carbohydrate can improve performance, as well as attenuate muscle damage in endurance exercise.
Caffeine not only improves performance, it also increases the absorption of sugar from the gut, so it will make Gels quicker acting.
It is vital to remember The Golden Rule of Racing and practice this in training. If you want to try energy gels with protein, you need to try these out at race pace.

0.999707 | (3) sempre que o prêmio não estivesse de acordo com certos pré-requisitos do plano.
O que exatamente significa para um prêmio de avaliação ser deixado sem autorização? O tribunal sanantonio de recursos respondeu a esta questão em 1996. Assista Toonen v. USAA, 935 S.W.2d 937 (Tex .. App. – – San Antonio 1996). Segundo Toonen, um concurso centrado na falta de jurisdição é exatamente porque aparece. É realmente uma alegação de algumas daquelas partes que o Tratado que foi selecionado não tinha competência para fazer algo em nome do partido Concurseiro Paulista. De volta a Toonen, antes de a seguradora empregar um advogado, ela contratou uma firma privada de consertos para refleti-la em sua reivindicação de granizo. Nesse sentido, a empresa de ajuste contatou a companhia de seguros alegando que era o avaliador licenciado do segurado. O procedimento de avaliação avançou, e também a empresa de apólice de seguro implementa a quantidade total do prêmio de avaliação acordado.
A garantia, triste com o valor do prêmio, ela escolheu para documento terno, e em sua própria tentativa de ter o atributo de avaliação reservado, ela prometeu que, embora ela tenha consentido para sua organização de ajuste privada para cuidar de sua cobertura de seguro, ela não autorizou a empresa a concordar com essa prática de avaliação. Até mesmo o Tribunal examinou se a empresa privada de reajuste, sendo um representante autorizado do segurado, tinha competência para agir em nome do segurado.
Concordou que o transportador da apólice de seguro não havia estabelecido conclusivamente que a marcação privada socializava junto com a jurisdição real expressa. Portanto, o Tribunal analisou se a margem de lucro individual agia com autoridade real sugerida ou autoridade aparente.
A jurisdição real implícita surge quando “parece justificar a constatação de que em certo sentido o agente foi aprovado para realizar exatamente o que ele fez” A autoridade evidente “pode ser realmente uma forma de preclusão na qual um terceiro depende do comportamento do líder que pode levar razoavelmente prudente acreditar que o representante tinha jurisdição para agir. ” A Corte mencionou que o provedor da apólice de seguro havia apresentado evidências suficientes que mostravam que [o fornecedor da apólice de seguro] acreditava razoavelmente que a marcação privada tinha autoridade para fazer algo em nome do segurado ao invocar a cláusula de avaliação. Além disso, o segurado, ao saber que o auxiliar privado havia participado da prática de avaliação, não exigiu ações para negar a conduta.
Este cenário demonstra os possíveis problemas que os segurados podem atacar sempre que contratam a assistência de um avaliador geral, mas depois tomam a decisão de manter o departamento jurídico para apresentar uma ação judicial. O lado esquerdo (o profissional legal) muitas vezes não sabe o que a mão adequada (o regulador de pessoas) já fez, e o advogado poderia ser incapaz de tratar o comportamento do avaliador.

a range of advantages which could be achieved from bodybuilding supplements, at least for its most serious bodybuilding fanatic.

Creatine supplies muscle tissue together with excess energy, bettering the ability on your workouts.
During muscle gain, Glutamine can be used to enhance muscle recovery. Using the large number of health supplements availableyou will do a terrific service to know everything you are able to concerning the great things about each you to come across the best product for the requirements.
Bodybuilding dietary supplements can allow you to get to your fitness goal, however they’re just a small region of the practice.

I’ve been designing and programming on the web Casinos for above 6 decades and that I will frankly tell you which I’ve seen all of it. I can not truly talk for all the firms I never ever functioned but that I have ample interior advice about 99 percent of casinos on line (I suppose using plenty of pals while in precisely the exact expert subject does repay times).
Such a thing that you might imagine has been finished with internet Casinos. From straightforward matters including internet slots using a really very low payout percent into the absolute most elaborate of”clever chance altering”, it’s being used directly below your nose & the majority of persons have zero hint. Many men and women expect that the Casino and tell themselves they’ve a”bad streak”, blame by themselves blame it not enjoying them for everybody I understand.
Even the absolute most frequently encountered fraud is that the very low payout percent. It’s utilized in almost any game/program. This will change the range of situations that the gamer (you) has paidoff. That was really a minimal valid proportion of pay outs because of slots that should be accompanied with casinos, however there’s no manner which you can prove they’re skimming to the pay outs. Inorder to allow one to establish a casino isn’t paying outside the minimal percent you may need to monitor tens of thousands of twists all your wins and losses, meticulously record anything and illustrate that you did most with this mrgreen.
Besides this, you may need to virtually pay tens of thousands and tens of thousands of bucks simply to have a glimpse of the entire system since the greater the amount of twists that are total, the more true your result will probably soon be (percent ) and you’d need atleast 10,000 spins to really have virtually any precision. It ofcourse has to maintain RealMoney manner as you can not do it into PlayMoney as the chances in this manner certainly are much various (PlayMoney style actually comes with A-player benefit to pitch you ).
The complex apps just like the”intelligent chance” are essentially difficult to establish (short of using the system routine ). That is correct, there’s not anything which you’d find it possible to try and find it, not to mention establish it. Creepy ai not it?
How it functions is it’s really a smart-program just as if it is name indicates. It studies and learns. It gathers info from you personally about your playing customs, your gambling levels at times under specific circumstances . It reads to you. 90 percent of this full time that it knows that the relocation ahead before you make it. This is not the hardest portion. The main reason it assembles this info concerning you’re to the only purpose focusing on exactly how and if to squeeze the absolute most money out of you personally. By way of instance, shedding 500 once I won $400 is certain to allow me to continue heading to have the $100 back again however, you may possibly be readier to continue playing having lost exactly the identical $500 by way of a sluggish wracking sport (picture this item immediately after five decades of playing, then it virtually understands better than your mother). All of it changes by one individual to another, or if I state out of 1 persona to the next as that’s just what this app is researching you personally… exactly what exactly your personality resembles, for that only real aim of:”which way am I really going to squeeze one of the maximum green outside with the sucker?” .
I might write an entire novel relating to it subject matter (which will have been a cure, setting 90 percent of online-casinos outside of firm with a single publication that which makes you feel awful for these ). As I said previously, there’s not a thing may see right now the on-line Casinos have never cooked up prior to you. This really is actually the more quickly you arrive at take action, the higher you’re There isn’t anything you are able to do in order in order to figure out that online-casinos are both excellent and those are, well, creatures… apart from beat the correct place in the most suitable time, which is actually the spot now is enough moment; point.

I have already broken into the Halloween candies. See, I bought a purse a couple days ago. I meant to keep it for Halloween, however, my tween spotted it. She persuaded me to start out it. We needed to get some superior control test to ensure that it had been secure and delicious enough to the neighborhood children, appropriate?
I knowI Understand. Gently start the Halloween candy ancient.
What can I say? I used to be feeble.
A couple or 2 (fine, fine, maybe several ) has been sufficient to meet me, but perhaps not that my tween. That kid would binge on that candy until I pried it out of her fingers and place it under lock and key. She cannot get enough. She desires candy κουφέτο.
It looks like most children love candy, and so they like it much more compared to just adults. Why is this?
Fortunatelyan article in the Wall Street Journal today,”performing the Sugar Math for Halloween,” answered that question. In the guide, Brian Wansink, director of Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab, explained the taste and effect of this glucose are magnified in kids more than in older people.
“Children have exactly the same amount of preference buds as grownups, but their tongue is a good deal bigger, so that the flavors are somewhat more severe the younger you’re,” he explained.
I figure that is sensible. The simple fact I’ve compared my kid’s freakishly long tongue into Gene Simmons’ doesn’t really suit for this theory, but I’ll proceed with this.
What I’m not inclined to cooperate side is the idea that children don’t knowledge sugar highs.
The guide says that scientists cannot find proof that children who snore candy experience sugar highs and subsequently sugar crashes.
I’m guessing that research has no kiddies.
Had I understood I would have gladly welcomed these scientists to my house to watch my tween virtually jogging laps around your house belting out Taylor Swift music at the top of her throat afterwards attending a Halloween bash where she ate way too much candies. I have never witnessed a much sugar high and, sadly, the wreck wasn’t very.
What should you really think? Does one believe kids experience glucose highs and sugar lows? Do the kids love candies a lot more than you do?
Write your blog articles round targeted keywords. Do you really need to attain success together with blogging?? Subsequently proceed at which the visitors would be. In the event you should go fishing for small mouth bass, do you really do it on your creek? No. Needless to say you wouldn’t. That’ll be ridiculous and moot make money off wordpress.
That is precisely how blogging functions. You do your own search and discover the key words people are using to hunt for subjects associated with a own niche. Then, you write an outstanding blog post which is filled with useful details.
But this is insufficient. In the event that you really want to acquire folks for your articles, you want to begin building links . Go to sites linked for your and leave useful remarks that include value. Never leave opinions that adding to this conversation of this site article.
This type of linking approach is quite effective. You should plan to leave five informative and very helpful comments daily. This will start to chemical during the next number of weeks and you’re going to receive yourself a steady stream of traffic from these comments.

Tribal. These layouts are black silhouettes. Most relies on tribal layouts. A popular modern mutation with this manner is to alter a traditional design so that it looks more tribal. A number of the most widely used styles are modeled after the ancient styles of the South Pacific Islands. These tattoos usually are abstract, creative representations which consist of some combo of discrete design elements including as for example spikes, spines and spines. Tribal tattoos have been usually designed to match or enrich a particular part of your human body. By way of example, a tribal tattoo could spider over the shapes of the reduce back.
Practical. These designs are usually portraits or landscapes that mimic the nice detail of a photograph. Mostly they’re done in white and black since it requires a master tattoo artist to categorize graphics in colors. Some times this design is also called photo-realism.
Oriental. Usually, the oriental fashion of tattooing entails with the entire body as a canvas as opposed to adding a single image . Images are utilised to weave a story or some myth on an whole armor on the entire back. Usually, this is very fantastic, bold, yet comprehensive color perform. Enormous murals of dragons, flowers, fish, and other animals would be definitely the most popular oriental tattoos. An prominent picture like a dragon might be surrounded by”fill work” that consists of inventive, fluid-like litres of colour. The oriental tattoo regularly follows the rules of Western outlook from painting that is worried about symmetry and balance. Additionally, the symbols in a Western tattoo tend to have deeper meanings. For example, a tattoo with the carp symbolizes prosperity and wealth.
Celtic. These silhouette design tattoos have thick daring dark traces, along with sharp angle. A Viking off shoot of this style consists of mythological animals including griffins. They have been primarily completed in black ink only. As they’re difficult to do, tribal tattoos are most usually best created by an artist that focuses primarily on the style tattoos that are Celtic.
Conventional. This type of tattoo describes work which includes bold black outlines and also pitch black stripes coincide with quite bright colours. The style is supposed to get its roots on military foundations at the 1930s and 1940s.
Fine line. These delicate tattoos are very comprehensive and usually related to gray and black function. Fine line can be usually utilised to mention that a realistic depiction of a picture. Fine line graphics cannot be too difficult as sometimes over time the image could seep right into a blotch or even a shadow.
People today desire tattoos for several kinds of good reasons – they all want to memorialize a beloved one or exhibit their own soul bestial or commemorate an enormous event within their own lives, etc – and even individuals want all types of different kinds of tattoos – some desire color, a few don’t; a few desire creatures others need people’s faces or names, and so on. However only one thing everybody else has in common is they need the optimal/optimally tattoo artists. And, who can blame them? Tattoos are generally meant to be lasting additions into an individual’s human anatomy also , a cluttered tattoo artist can destroy an otherwise amazing display. Obviously, tattoo-removal would be an option however, as a rule of thumb, folks do not have tattoos done with the aim of later having them removed. Still, I guess it is comforting to be aware the option is now available.
Since tattoos are of this a very personal nature, it’s quite common for people to look for a customized tattoo. Afterall, a regular, run of the mill tattoo is not likely to represent the deep significance you would like your tattoo to get. Naturally, only the ideal tattoo artists can render a own, customized tattoo to your own standards and with out mistakes and errors which maul the entire piece. You have to look at that can draw the original bit – maybe you are a good artist yourself and curently have some thing prepared and, maybe not. If not, you also could have to possess the tattoo artist design the entire tattoo to suit youpersonally. If this happens to be the instance, you certainly desire to inspect the tattoo artists’ portfolios to view which style will probably work the best for whatever you want. Other matters you might want to discuss along with the tattooshop comprise coloring to the item, how big is this item you have in mind, and also how long it takes.
Coloration, style, size – which really is your fun products about receiving a custom tattoo – however, you also want to be certain the tattooshop employs clean and healthful procedures within their own work. For the needles, single-use disposable needles are by far the greatest and most secure option; however a great purification method is acceptable also. It is likewise a superior idea that your tattoo artist conveys latex gloves while still doing all your tattoo – accidents can happen, even with the ideal tattoo artists, also it’s usually much better safe than sorry (for both of you) when it has to do with body fluids like blood.
In the event you take care when choosing a tattooshop to get your next tattoo, your own tattoo will probably proceed on with out a hitch and you’ll never be required to worry about needing tattoo-removal!
You will find so many reasons regarding the reason why folks get tattoos and distinct explanations at any point they might need to get them eliminated. A few of the reason why forcing people to remove these comprise dissatisfaction with visual appeal or insecurities probably since the reasons for receiving the tattoos have changed shifted. Employment prospective customers can also contribute to needing an elimination considering that they have negative vibe around these and many companies would hire someone with visible tattoos.
Getting rid of tattoos can nevertheless be a struggle thinking of the ink are deeply put in to the skin tissues based on which technique is utilised to build them. Fortunately laser tattoo removal treatment options can deal with all sorts of tattoos and clean off them the skin. This is removal remedy which utilizes higher powered laser to permeate skin forcing pigment particles to permeate creating heat that breaks ink particles right into small sections that are subsequently removed by means of the lymphatic program.
The treatment is obviously slow and also you may need to go to get any number of periods to completely get rid of the tattoo. Each can last anywhere between twenty five minutes into a hour or so . Factor like era of tattoo, area, coloration and also the size can determine how much time it happens before it absolutely excels. But what are the factors on the other side of the prevalence of laser tattoo removal treatments?
It is a non-prescription remedy which means many unwanted effects which have surgery are also avoided. It is likewise achieved in a manner that causes hardly any injury to skin specially compared to a removal processes individuals have been required to put up .
This kind of removal comes with no scarring. The gentle is generally benign and leaves nutritious skin cells equally like healthy hence dangers of discoloration have been significantly reduced. It is nothing compared to processes which apply skin tightening.
The procedure can remove certain are as of the tattoo that you don’t enjoy or the full tattoo based on everything you would like. This is as it’s possible for that light to be directed in those specific are as some thing that will be tricky to reach along with additional removal choices.
This procedure is quite effective in decreasing or fading the tattoos. Unlike some other approaches that may render undesirable results on the skin, you may like how clear your skin care for finishing the removal procedure.
It requires hardly any recovery period. This is because the light is harmless and the skin isn’t annoyed as substantially throughout the approach.

This type of elimination is safer. Outside of the process being comfortable enough to handle and keep throughout, disease dangers are minimal and not many side effects come about throughout the treatment. It is therefore true to state it is among the safest tattoo-removal choices available.
Find out everything you want concerning laser tattoo removal removal and whether you qualify subsequently book the treatment for start your trip into freedom from tattoos that you need you can forget. Sydney tattoo removal experts will stop nothing until your dreams are attained.
If you are the type of person that likes to push the bounds of what society tells you’re OK, then you’ve almost certainly entertained the idea of getting a tattoo artist. However, in the event that you’re the kind of person that isn’t pleased with just going to a tattoo design and picking a style and design off the wall, then you might all about the custom made ink.
It is wise to note that tattoo artists, as a complete, could be contemplated purveyors of habit ink, with the ability and ability to do virtually whatever you would need on skin. However, for many inside the tattoo area (both the artists & clients), the notion of doing custom ink usually means that there is more of those artist embracing her or his ability in one-of-a-kind designs. The artist isn’t satisfied with taking hot flash art & only copying it. The customized ink artist takes satisfaction in either taking a thought & placing their own twist about it, hence giving the client a tattoo that’s unique.
Request Others About Their Ink – recommendations is enormous for tattoo artists. In the event you do good job, your name is likely to make the rounds. Moreover, if you’re searching for the best, don’t be reluctant to question people about their tattoos. They are usually a lot more than contented to share.
On the Web Study Is Essential – Check online reviews, along with ratings as a Result of the Better Business Bureau (if appropriate ). Having something as long as a tattoo, individuals are not afraid to enable you to know the method by which they sense.
Do Not Be reluctant to examine Studios & question Questions – Reach on the sidewalk & head right into a outlets. Check over portfolios, and ask queries of this staff & artists present. Additionally, shop around and see if the store is keen on cleanliness & proper security protocol.
Attend Tattoo demonstrates – Large shows showcase some of their best talent across. Lines may be lengthy, however, you can gain some tremendous insight in to the grade of the artwork developed.
Require your own time – Though it’s a worn refrain, you should alwayss try to remember that a tattoo is forever. Don’t rush deciding on the appropriate artist to your own tattoo. Many folks wait a long time before becoming their very first bit of ink because they wish to not only look fabulous, but they want to buy to function for all of the appropriate factors. There is absolutely no requirement to rush the approach.
Custom ink could possibly be more an matter of semantics for a lot of people, however to its tattoo artists who see their own work for a continuation of their history & culture of body art, being considered like a next-level artist is equally crucial. In addition, it is worth every penny into the prospective client making a determination about their original, or even their latesttattoo. | 2019-04-22T17:55:30 | http://www.coachoutletstoreoutlet.us.com/page/4/ |
0.995662 | hi! I like to build stuff.
After a few conversations with Mark I'm seriously considering this question. I was totally convinced I wanted to use the FV-1 on an upcoming project but more and more I'm thinking I'll just use a Teensy microcontroller. Of course, I don't have the first clue how to make good sounding effects in regular C code, so there is still a big learning curve. I've only been messing with microcontrollers since last summer. Please correct me if I've stated anything incorrectly.
-need to program external EEPROM, need a programmer to achieve that. No on-the-fly programming with just a laptop without some fiddling.
-DIP format for easy breadboarding, all the complicated digital stuff is contained on one board. Home made effect could have Teensy and AK4556 on a schmartboard, mounted to veroboard for the simple analog and power supply stuff.
-not as "cut and dry," processor is general purpose and will likely require more debugging to get a properly working widget.
-architecture not designed for audio/dsp unlike FV-1 or any of number of traditional DSP chips, in spite of power processor may introduce more IO delay because it's not DSP specific.
Anyway, just thought I'd ask and see what people say. Have a good night!
Hi! I like to build stuff. Sometimes, when life slows down a little bit, I even get to build stuff for myself and others rather than just for work.
I'm pretty experienced with FV-1 and a little less so with writing effects in C or C++. I'd say many of your points are spot on although some aspects of FV-1 programming are pretty abstract. It's very difficult to have a real comparison of MIPS because of the FV-1's architecture. For example, if you use the built-in LFOs it only takes one or two instructions to set them up and access them. Similarly with reverbs, it's going to be a lot easier with the FV-1. Some guy wrote a graphical tool for creating FV-1 patches similar to Pure Data, which I'm led to believe has made creation of effects child's play for many people. That guy was me. Check my signature line for details.
Biggest limitation I find with the FV-1 is only 3 pots for adjustment (more if you add external circuitry and/or do things like feedback or wet/dry mixing in the analog realm). Also there are no switch inputs which could be read by the code to do things like tap tempo or any other switchable thing you might want to do. Experimental Noize (who distribute the FV-1) announced a chip that amounts to a next-generation FV-1 at the January NAMM show. That one has 6 pot inputs and 7 switch inputs.
If you are only making effects for yourself then you might appreciate the greater flexibility of the Teensy. If you want to go commercial, the lower cost of the FV-1 would probably be attractive, unless you hit one of its limitations in pursuit of your vision.
There is quite a bit of C code over at musicdsp.org. I have also used the Synthesis Toolkit (Stk) which has a bunch of pre-built C++ classes for all sorts of effects and synth UGens (modules/blocks). However this assumes you are using something like a Mac or Windows and doesn't really try to be super efficient for deployment on an embedded micro.
Thanks Larry, that's a lot of great info to look into. I was of course referring mostly to your work when I suggested the FV-1 might be easier to work with.
I had assumed that the "purpose built" nature of the FV-1 betrays its lowish MIPS number. I suppose many things you'd have to code in a conventional processor are already built in hardware in the FV-1, thus my last con for the Teensy.
I have an idea that I think would be really helpful to a lot of musicians but I haven't decided if I should go completely open source or make it a commercial product. It's that whole debate- I could make it a shared design then get screwed when someone in China or even in the US likes it enough to make a commercial version.
I'm excited about the idea of a higher-powered FV-1 style chip. Hopefully it'll address some of the things designers have had to work around. The photos of the demo board have 6 pots and a tap tempo button so that's the battle won for most people. Ability to address a display, additional switches, and even an SD card would make it a slam dunk.
I've taken apart a few of the effects that I already own and I've been surprised to see how many use the FV-1. Clearly it's a performer. It also makes me wonder if I could read the eeproms and try to learn what I can about their effects. I guess I'd need a "reverse compiler" for that and I doubt it exists. Last I checked you can't really decompile code once it's in a machine language. My recent purchase of a Neunaber Slate convinced me I need to give the FV-1 a shot, at least for reverb, chorus and ambient noisemaking stuff. It would be a ton of fun to install a custom rom in my Tech 21 flyrig 5.
I just registered on the spin semiconductor forum and your forum. Even if I don't use the FV-1 for my current project I'm going to order a few and mess with them. It'll be good to learn the language in case the new chip is as good as it sounds.
That's kind of you. Truth in advertising, SpinCAD can do a lot but there are a lot of more subtle and/or powerful things that you will only be able to get to if you go hands on with the Spin ASM. Some people have told me that looking at the ASM generated by SpinCAD helped them to learn. I'm taking some online courses doing audio programming in Java, and I inevitably think "why has this got to be so difficult"?! I actually hate writing audio processing code even though it can be more powerful and flexible. The GUI approach vastly shortens the path between concept and execution - as long as you have the correct blocks to work with.
Ain't that the truth! One just has to factor that into the equation. Nice thing about the next-gen chip from EN is that it includes EEPROM which cannot be read externally.
Ability to address a display, additional switches, and even an SD card would make it a slam dunk.
I'm pretty sure that will stay in the domain of a general purpose micro.
Anyone remember the Wavefront AL3101/2? It was an application specific fixed-point DSP that executed up to 1024 instructions per audio cycle. Each instruction included fetching a coefficient, a sample word, performing multiply/accumulate, and storing the result - all as one instruction. So its 50 MIP's (1024 instructions per 48 kHz audio cycle) was more like 200 MIP's when comparing to a conventional micro controller (MCU). It also included single instruction cycle log/antilog and also handled delay lines automatically so you did't have to move samples and wast MIPS on maintaining a delay buffer. Man I loved that chip. The Spin FV-1 is similar in these regards but adds a few low-speed ADC inputs for pots, and mediocre audio stereo ADC/DAC. It makes for good platform for a single digital product. The AL3101 is more powerful than the FV-1 and with an I2S interface you can add your own audio ADC/DAC (Wavefront made some east to use ones that had something like 108dB of dynamic range!). The FV-1 doesn't have enough power for me. The AL3101 did at the time (over 5 years ago). I created a compiler for it, firmware for Atmel to program it and give it 'pot' interfaces.
Well the AL3101 faded away and so did all of my investment. There was *no* follow up to it that part that matched the increase in price/performance that continues in the silicon/ASIC space. If this chip had a lifetime and a lineage I'd have stuck with it. Same fate for the FV-1? Sure it's fine for what it squarely intends to do (LFO's, chorus, flange, short reverb) but beyond that as far as musical algorithms for guitar? But right now, for evolving effects/complexity, it's a dead end. But for what the FV-1 does today it's as simple as it gets - so it has an audience for good reason.
'C' and MCU's is where I went. 'C' will stay with us and even if it dies the 'C' code is readable, expressive, and portable with a bit of effort. MCU's continue to get faster/cheaper and more powerful in terms of numerics. MCU's and DSP's are on a collision path - MCU's are incorporating DSP instructions and DSP's are incorporating digital and mixed signal peripherals. They're both coded in 'C' (C++ if your into that sort of stuff). There's a lot of DSP libraries (CMSIS DSP for ARM is excellent).
It's a no brainer to me - if your idea if DIY effects is to assemble a kit or to make a simple reverb then use the FV1. If you want to create a foundation of knowledge and code for evolving effects and experimentation beyond short-delay time-domain modulation effects (chorus, flanger, etc) then learn 'C' and use an MCU with DPS support (ARM Cortex M4 or M7, XMOS xCORE). Heck try using a Analog Devices SHARC (though hardware is expensive) - they're programmed in 'C' and the DSP and run-time library is elegant and simple. It's not as hard as most think. Get a Teensy and use ARM's CMSIS DSP library. You'll have code that is way more future proof and extensible than FV-1 ASM.
I hope this forum and the DIY community never starts to think DSP, 'C' coding, making PCB's, soldering surfrace mount parts, etc is too hard. DIY to me is about thinking you can do it, trying it and failing a few times, learning, succeeding, and moving on the next challenge.
Too many times in this forum I see posts about how hard something is. DSP theory is complicated but designing a low-pass filter and pushing data through an FIR filter? Easy. Easy because you can put aside the theory (to some extent) and focus on application. And there's 'C' libraries, scripts, and GUI programs to create filter coefficients, and libraries for FIR, IIR, FFT, BiQuad, etc. If you're brave try coding up the IIR/Biquad yourself - it's actually basic, look at Wikipedia or something like that and write code that manages a couple of short delay lines and does multiply and accumulation.
That's the beauty of DSP - the theory is brilliant and complicated but the application is straightforward and documented by examples on the internet.
Sure you can use a GUI to create a signal processing flow (lots of GUI's out there) but you'd be better off learning a bit of 'C' - whether you'r a DIY'er or a professional. It's like learning programming without understanding underlying hardware - you'll program better on MCU's if you know a bit of hardware design and MCU design. Same with applying DSP. And what you learn you can take with you to any other platform that is programmable in 'C' (XMOS, ARM CM4 or CM7, PIC, AVR, Analog Devices ...).
In another post a member said SMT is too hard and I almost exploded. That mindset in a DIY forum? Rubbish. No DIY post should say that but rather point you to where you can learn it.
Learn FreePCB or Eagle, get a scope from eBay, get a fine soldering tip, and practice putting down 0603 or 0402 parts. I learned FreePCB, discovered cheap PCB manufactures, got a scope and an soldering iron and in a few days was making ugly PCB's without the old-school etch a copper clad board and stick in an acid bath method that I tried back in 1985 using parts from Radio Shack. A year later they were getting pretty. Now I can lay out a simple board in a few days, buy three of those board from OSH Park for $6, order parts from Digikey, and put them down in an hour or two. Glad I did't listen to the 'it's too hard' advice. Same goes for DSP coding.
Anyway, if you learn some 'C' code, DSP application basics, an MCU like the ARM CM4 (Teensy's are really cool), and invest in PCB/soldering then your'e free to do whatever you want without someone elses closed ecosystem (Wavefront, FV-1, GUI tools) defining your future.
Hey I really don't mean to sound egotistical or like a 'C' and MCU bigot - I know that's how this might be coming off. But I truly believe in people - that you can do it and I just don't want folks to think otherwise. It's not about what I can do ( the stuff above that might sound like bragging) but rather that I'm no smarter than anyone else. It's all about attitude.
I really like the concept of the DIY / I can do it attitude. Of course we can when there is such a large community to help us. I'd like to know more about implementing micro-processors into designs. I imagine it's what some of the more complex stomp boxes like this one use. I want to build something like this for sure and though I am intimidated by the software, programming side, i am also inspired to do something challenging.
Great post Mark! One thing that becomes clear is that in some ways, whatever perspective we have is defined by the path we've followed. I taught myself 3 programming languages in addition to FV-1 ASM in order to write SpinCAD. And the things that happened were defined by MY pain points trying to create the end result (FV-1 code). So other people may not relate to it quite the way I do. I don't even remember why I bought the FV-1 dev board, back in 2011 or 2012, but at that time, the Raspberry Pi was either not released or if so just barely, and I don't think that the ARM stuff like Teensy evolved (esp with easily integratable audio codec) until just the last year or so. So I fell into that hole and my perspective is the result of the time I spent crawling out of it.
You are correct in that acceptable hw solutions at the low end are colliding from different directions. It's a fair question to ask whether the new Experimental Noize chip has any incredible advantage over an ARM/CODEC/SRAM combo. The guys from EN developed that chip because it's an outgrowth of what they aready knew how to do. Maybe they will find a market among the current FV-1 customers but yes their solution is arcane and abstruse and a bunch of other strange words I don't really know the meaning of. So the challenge for the low end is heating up for sure.
I'm interested in C/C++ code and while I haven't done anything beyond using Stk and ChucK on the Mac/PC, ultimately I would still want to use a GUI for lots of things. There is a processor called "Heavy" https://enzienaudio.com/ that turns Pure Data diagrams into C++ code. There is "Audio Weaver" - https://www.dspconcepts.com/audio-weaver - not really geared towards guitar/musical modules but apparently you can add your own functions using MatLab. I guess it's a personal thing whether you prefer to write code. All I know is that I'm older than you so I'm trying to use my time more effectively.
btw, some references to Cool Audio V1000 describe it as an AL3201 clone. I don't know enough about it to say.
Hey DL good post yourself.
By the way the AL3201 is the reverb chip, and the AL3101 and AL3102 are the general purpose DSP chips. It seems that AL3201 and AL3102 get mixed up a lot. You'd think they could have used different numbers to prevent that!
Yep, I suppose the path you start with is usually the path you stay on since it's what you've invested in and are comfortable with. And so I'm biased for sure. But at the same time I think 'C', DSP, and MCU's from the ground up to do DSP effects gets a bit of a bad rap for a couple of reasons.
First and foremost I think that any platform that's both general purpose and powerful will inevitably show solutions with bloat. Like a goldfish that grows to the size of its tank so is a lot of software. I'm convinced that lots of software engineers like making complicated stuff. I've seen many projects that form a technical playground for new ideas and future over-proofing rather than just getting it done as simply as possible. I'm no longer impressed by complexity but rather discouraged.
I can't imagine trying to dive info audio effects plugins on the PC due to the frameworks that have to be learned - probably C++ with loads of class libraries. Or even programming audio effects in Java where there's likely a large framework, libraries, and development flow to assimilate. Having a GUI front end hides all of the complexity and I understand that - but too bad the underlying code wasn't simpler to start with.
I hope my project (FlexFX) demonstrates a DSP platform that's simple, powerful, can be coded in 'C' with practically no coding overhead not related to signal processing. Then you simply learn a bit of 'C', some basic DSP techniques, and you've got something going.
I hear about the Experimental Noize stuff but not sure what's going on there. Sounds experimental So far a bunch of noise?
I have developed ultra low-power wireless (control and audio) for hearing aids for 10-15 years now. *Many* years ago ASIC's were the way to go for large hearing aid companies due to the need for RF radios and audio processors that functioned within the power and voltage supply envelopes (1.2V zinc air battery, 1mA average power consumption, sub-10mA TX/RX power, voice quality audio over 2.4 gHz, G722 or CVSD encode/decode in hardware, BLE support, multi-band audio compression, etc).
Now IC's are showing up by the bigger chip makers that do these things (Nordic Semi for radios, On Semi for hearing aid DSP's) - and it calls into question whether or not a companies' investment in ASIC's would actually pay off (it costs a lot of time and money to design and fab your own silicon!). If markets drive IC development you can bet those chips will evolve very quickly - look at MCU's with DSP support or ultra low power MCU's. So why would Experimental Noize benefit from an ASIC when ARM M4's and M7's are cheap and hooking up an audio CODEC is pretty basic. And of course there's many DSP's to choose from.
Perhaps there's a similar story for proprietary DSP's. A good approach 10-20 years ago (Keith Barr? Wavefront? Spin? Probably other effects companies?) before MCU/DSP offerings have become mainstream. But these days with multiple offerings of DSP capable MCU's? While those proprietary ideas were maybe genius back then they just seem like a misfit now - same story as other ASICS in other industries. Case in point I haven't seen any serious audio product that doesn't just use ARM, TI, Analog Devices, XMOS? And of course these platforms gather following in many app domains resulting in an ecosystem of dev tools, examples, forums, libraries, etc.
Would love to see something from Experimental Noize and compare it to contemporary/commodity offerings for MCU/DSP stuff. Regardless I bet TI, EnergyMicro, ST Micro, Microchip, Analog Devices will be more competitive for anything related to moderately powered DSP and moderately low power MCU solutions and will keep up with the tech curve faster than anyone making an ASIC. After all where's Wavefront and Spin these days? And what happened to ASICs in the hearing aid space?
Learn some 'C', some DSP, and how to program an MCU then it doesn't matter what Experimental Noize does in terms of ASIC's - which seems to be nothing at the moment - or where they go with their chips for the long haul, which if Wavefront and Spin taught us anything is pretty much nowhere.
or where they go with their chips for the long haul, which if Wavefront and Spin taught us anything is pretty much nowhere.
Every chip has strengths and weaknesses, same with every programming language but I must speak to the last point. There were things that happened in those companies that people simply do not know about, I'm probably the only person left that knows all the details. As to Spin, we had a plan for more chips unfortunately Keith died and that caused a number of issues (legal, etc.) with the company. We had a plan, we had preliminary designs, we had demand. However the death of the owner can have a great impact on such things. Basically your conclusion is incorrect.
Thanks for posting that. Details of circumstances aside you were still up against tech and market forces that evolved and forced others out. How would you have been different? Does an ARM CM4 cost more than an FV-1? The M4 has more processing power, can be programmed in C/C++/ASM, and has broad DSP library support. So given that how does a FV-1 or follow up challenge this on cost and performance?
Yep. No disagreement there as long as were talking about that chip having strength/weaknesses that change over time as the market and tech landscape evolves.
We had a plan, we had preliminary designs, we had demand.
That's great but plans are no guarantee of success.
The circumstances were unfortunate but even with different circumstances and planned Spin IC follow ups I would still look to other historical accounts of ASIC rise and fall patterns in domains disrupted by evolving commodity/general purpose technologies that both benefited from larger markets that supported gaining of momentum and support -- while also being able to service niche markets or perhaps disrupt/enter adjacent markets.
Basically your conclusion is incorrect.
No it's not. Not for markets of appreciable size and even for some niche ones. I've seen ASIC's come to service the immediate need then fade as general/commodity tech moves in (if the market opportunity warrants) amidst silicon price/performance evolution. And when this didn't happen it was because the market was too small. So either Spin will be replaced with something else or it will continue to service something small and niche.
I've seen it first hand. I corresponded with the Wavefront engineer and his sentiment was the same - they couldn't compete with the tech shift that was happening at the time - which was emerging DSP solutions with larger markets that supported the evolution of complete ecosystems (tools, doco, source code, IP, etc). They couldn't grow with the likes of TI and others creating cheaper DSP's with sophisticated dev tools and dev communities.
So whether or not you would have had continued success with different circumstances can still be debated. But hey I'd be proven wrong with another successful audio effects ASIC chip. Think that will happen?
Well anyway the Spin chip has had a long life so far, it nailed the demands of the time (genius as someone here said) and is still used, and still garners interest. It's a small player and always has been. After using the Wavefront parts, similar in design and ASM instruction set approach, I'm more than happy to have moved on to the new wave of DSP capable MCU's.
Just strolling down memory lane ... I can see why the FV-1 has a following. Too bad these ASIC's come and go but I think that's just how this market works - like it or not.
As I said I was a huge fan of the Wavefront AL3101 but had to ditch it when my effects goals out grew it. I really wish Wavefront had follow ups with more power.
Just for fun here's the data sheet and instruction set manual. Really elegant chip and instruction set.
Personally I think the AL3101 is more understandable than the FV-1 and it's more powerful but they do share a similar design philosophy. One that inevitably (IMO) creates that initial market opportunity rise due to addressing a demand gap, and the eventual fall due to more generalized silicon/IC encroachment.
But even given that pattern that's repeated itself for many-an-ASIC I'd probably gravitate to the AL3101 design if it had been followed up by parts that scaled with the semiconductor space's price/performance advancement. If a new part ran at perhaps 4 times the speed (200 MIPs and 192 kHz capability rather than 50 MIPS and 48 kHz) I'd probably be using it knowing that I might be headed for a dead end when the ASIC's demand dies off.
Thankfully XMOS came a long with a multi-core processor that's the easiest path to ultra low-latency high throughput and flexible I/O processing that I've seen so far. But in some ways it struggles with the same issues. Its DSP capability has been strong for a long time but the advent of the Cortex M7 puts this in danger (One XMOS 8-core tile has about the same DSP capability as an M7, about two times of an M4, and about 1/2 of a 300 MHz SHARC using non-HW accelerated IIR/FIR blocks). So I wonder when I'll hit the XMOS dead end and be forced to move on to ARM, TI or ADI?
Slightly off-topic, but wait; you're saying that the Neunaber Immerse is basically a Spin FV-1 pedal with a program selector?! Along with most of the Neunaber line?
As for the rest, as a software developer my knowledge of electronic engineering is limited but growing, however as probably familiar the fast rule is that any dedicated chip is faster than doing something in software, but with the former you end up with limited configurability (pots, LFOs etc.) whereas the question in the latter case is perhaps mainly one of latency; can it process fast enough (processor speed, ADC-conversion, algorithm implementations, ...).
I definitely agree with this, and it's something that echoes strongly in the software development domain. Very few schools (if any) teach enough practical skills for a software developer to become proficient, in the best case the education provides a solid foundation to evolve from. Everything else is gained through applying yourself and learning as you go. There's no real magic to it, but after a while it gets easier as your mind has had the time to filter and sort through all the information that you've been exposed to along the way.
FV-1 is not only DSP, but DSP abs'c/beginners handbook. After studying mostly by the knowledge base on Spin official site, i wrote simple king of Spin Asm on plain C for stm32f4 in couple of days.
As for sound DSP platform, people are using not only sharc / adau / freescale , but inexpensive cheneese mp3 coding chips. If you got fundamentals, you can make sound anything.

0.999504 | The NRL was keen to have Penrith play this Saturday’s Elimination Final against the Warriors as part of a double header at Allianz Stadium alongside Roosters v Sharks, but the Panthers very quickly knocked the concept on the head. Penrith were concerned about the chaos around the Moore Park precinct given there’s a sold out AFL Finals match being played at the same time, and felt their match was being treated as second fiddle to the later game. There was also issues surrounding dressing room access. Penrith requested the game be moved to Panthers Stadium but eventually settled on ANZ Stadium. While not playing at Penrith is understandable, you can accept why fans find the whole thing confusing given the Panthers are the only ‘home’ team not playing at their regular stadium this weekend.
The Panthers have granted Corey Harawira-Naera an early release from his contract to join Canterbury in 2019. Panthers General Manager Phil Gould said while the club would have liked to have kept the 23-year-old, salary cap pressures came to the fore. “The decision to allow Corey a release from his contract was a difficult one. Firstly it’s a matter of future salary cap management for our club. Secondly it is such a wonderful opportunity for Corey with his new club,” he said.
Congratulations to James Fisher-Harris, Corey Harawira-Naera, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Dean Whare who have all been named in the New Zealand ‘wider squad’ for the upcoming Trans-Tasman Test. Meanwhile, youngster Dean Blore was named in the Junior Kiwis ‘wider squad’.
Penrith coach Cameron Ciraldo has been in regular communication with referees boss Bernard Sutton in recent weeks, raising several concerns about penalties being awarded against his side. Unfortunately it doesn’t appear to be doing Ciraldo any good with Penrith again on the back of a horror penalty count against the Storm last Friday. While Penrith do need to improve their discipline, there’s little doubt that a number of crucial penalties in recent weeks have huge question marks over them. Sutton has apparently admitted this to Ciraldo.
The wet weather didn’t stop plenty of Panthers fans turning out on Monday for an open training session and an opportunity to meet the players.
This year’s Merv Cartwright Medal presentation night will be held on Wednesday, October 3.
Panthers General Manager Phil Gould raised a few eyebrows this week when he asked Penrith fans on Twitter how they’d feel about playing some home games at the new Western Sydney Stadium in Parramatta. Here’s my answer: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Whilst on the subject of Stadiums, what would Panther fans feel about Panthers playing premiership games out of the new Western Sydney Stadium at Parramatta when it opens? I’m told it will be an amazing facility. One? Some? None? Any interest at all?
Spotted: Panthers General Manager Phil Gould and Penrith MP Stuart Ayres in deep discussion at the club’s open training session on Monday afternoon. Could they have been discussing plans for a new Outer Western Sydney Stadium, which after falling from the agenda is now starting to get a few whispers behind it again?
Congratulations to Ian Garton from Garton Group McDonald’s and Troy Dodds from the Weekender who finished joint champions of the Western Weekender Celebrity Tipping Competition this year.
The drums are beating louder and louder about Ivan Cleary’s potential return to the Panthers next year. Cleary was again less than convincing when discussing the issue at his post-match press conference following the Tigers’ loss to Souths last week. The most likely scenario would be Penrith signing Cleary for the 2021 season and beyond, hoping it triggers a domino effect with the Tigers moving Cleary on immediately and finding a new bus driver.
Penrith officials will monitor ‘Mad Monday’ plans to ensure there’s no negative headlines out of this year’s end-of-season celebration, whenever that may be. While this week’s story in the Daily Telegraph about the Bulldogs’ ‘Mad Monday’ celebrations was one of the beat-ups of the year, Penrith knows optics are everything and will put measures in place to ensure nothing gets out of hand. | 2019-04-20T02:37:39 | https://westernweekender.com.au/2018/09/masked-panther-ciraldo-fumes-at-refs/ |
0.999644 | She is beautiful, smart, athletic, down to earth and trustful.
The above statement describes so many Female Submission Wrestlers that I have met. If you analyze the statement closely, what would you say is the powerful and complimentary word in that sentence?
May I offer my opinion?
I would say the word trustful. You notice I didn’t phrase it that she can be trusted. In most cases that’s a given.
What I’m emphasizing is that she trusts you.
Recently I had an experience where I sessioned with a beautiful competitor in a hotel room. I paid her up front to build trust and be consistent with my principle that I live by that when working with female submission wrestlers, they should always get the money “before” the session begins, not after.
She then paid me an even greater compliment.
She left the money on the dresser and began to gather her things to take a shower as we would dine afterwards. I insisted that she put her money away in a safe place. She smiled and replied that normally she would, but because she was with me she wasn’t concerned.
That made swell with pride and joy that she trusted me on that level.
I have a close friend who shared an experience with me that made it a challenge to ever trust people again though he knew that he had to if he was to continue to engage and grow in his life.
For years, unknown to him, he was a person of extremely low self-esteem with all of the usual suspects. He was eager to please, in relationships he gave far more than he received and above all trusted too much in the wrong people. He refused to look at their defined behavior which would be more reflective of who they actually were as opposed to the rose colored view that he had air brushed them with.
Certain events in his life occurred that forced him to re-evaluate all of his relationships and to his horror he began to understand that his friends and relatives didn’t respect him and consistently took advantage of him.
As a result he severed ties with most of them but the most difficult challenge that faced him as he began to walk in new worlds was to trust people again.
His new approach was to trust……..but verify.
In our great industry, the relationship between the female session wrestler and her customers often boils down to trust. As a writer, I have heard so many stories about how our Fem Competitors become frustrated with potential customers contacting them to session then cancelling on them, thereby ruining any opportunity to make money in that time slot lost.
They also find it annoying when some want to take up their time “for free” with a lot of idle chatter and tire kicking.
Trust of course is a two way-street so let’s briefly examine ways that both session wrestler and customers can build trust with one another.
Mr. Thomas John Watson, Sr. was an American businessman. He served as the chairman and CEO of International Business Machines, and oversaw the company’s growth into an international force from 1914 to 1956.
Be predictable. A lot of people believe that mixing things up makes a great relationship. First, although surprises are nice from time to time, stability and uniformity will strengthen, and are far more important in a relationship. Uniformity sounds boring, and we would all like some surprise in our life, but you need to be predictable to make things work in the long run. Predictability builds trust.
Be Reliable. Trust is just another way of saying you can rely on someone. You trust your partner to do certain things no matter what at all times. This trust builds security in a relationship. The same thing is true when you are able to depend on all the other things that happen in a relationship to be just as reliable.
Mean what you say. Whatever you say, keep it simple and actually mean it, otherwise why say it?
Motivational speaker and expert Mr. Michael Hyatt at michaelhyatt.com essentially says the same thing in a more colorful way.
Keep your word. This is where it starts. People have to learn that they can count on you to deliver on your promises. If you commit to following up on something, do it. No excuses. If you can’t do it, proactively let the other person know. Also, be prompt to meetings. Tardiness also erodes trust. Sometimes, circumstances beyond your control prevent this, but you can’t allow it to become a habit. And, if you are late, apologize. Show some empathy and explain briefly why you were late.
Tell the truth. This is harder than it sounds. Most of us like to think of ourselves as truth-tellers. But it’s easy to round the numbers up, spin the facts, or conveniently leave out the evidence that doesn’t support our position. But if we are going to build trust, then we have to commit ourselves to telling the truth—even when it is difficult or embarrassing. People are more forgiving than you think. (Witness all the celebrities who have publicly blown it, apologized, and received a pass.) They don’t expect you to be perfect. However, they do expect you to acknowledge your mistakes and to come clean when you screw up.
There are tremendous benefits to building trust in our dynamic industry. For our Fem Competitor, she makes more money. For the customer involved, he or she will attain a far richer experience. | 2019-04-25T02:27:42 | https://fciwomenswrestling.com/trust-and-sessions/ |

If questions about nutritional value are set aside, what purpose does the act of consuming an animal possess? I take this as my central question here because meat-eating is not just an issue of nutrition: as Derrida wrote: ‘and who can be made to believe that our cultures are carnivorous because animal proteins are irreplaceable?’ There is something else going on when an animal’s flesh is consumed. | 2019-04-20T08:37:38 | http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/4808/ |
0.999996 | Someone has asked me for money for airline tickets or other travel expenses, is this a scam?
This sounds like a common scam. You should never send money to anyone you meet online. Scammers often promise to visit you, then pocket any money you send them. Don't send money for plane tickets, visas, customs fees or any other travel expenses the scammer claims to have. They may send you copies of their passport, tickets or visa to 'prove' they are coming to visit you - don't believe these stories. Scammers often have access to authentic-looking fake documents.
They claim to be in the military and say they need money for a leave pass - what should I do?
This is another common scam and you should never send money. Scammers claiming to be members of the military, stationed overseas, will often say they need your money to pay for a leave pass or some other expense so they can visit you. This is just an excuse to get you to pay money.
I've been asked to pay money to a charity, support a business opportunity, or to access a lottery prize - is this a scam?
Scammers will often tell you that money you send them will go to a charity or will be used to support a business venture. This might be anything from oil exploration, to gold mining, gemstone sales and more. The scammer might also tell you they can access some kind of treasure or inheritance and say that the need money to recover it, resolve legal issues or get a valuable item through customs. You should not send money. Charities don't solicit donations through dating websites and any stories about great riches are just a ploy to get you to make a scammer rich.
I've been told I need to send money because of an emergency - is this a scam?
they have been kidnapped and need your help to pay the ransom.
These stories are designed to make you feel as if the situation is desperate and to get you to send money without thinking. However, you should never send money to anyone you meet online.
My online dating partner says they can't continue chatting with me unless I send money - what should I do?
You should never send money. Scammers will often claim they need you to send them money or they won't be able to communicate with you in the future. They may say that they need money to access the internet, to purchase a webcam or computer, to pay for a translation service or other living expenses.
I've been asked to transfer money for my online dating partner, or cash money orders - should I do it?
Scammers might ask you to transfer money because they are unable to do so themselves. You should never agree to transfer money for someone else - this may be money laundering, which is a criminal offence. This may also be an attempt to get you to provide personal information for identity theft.
Scammers often promise to send money orders and will ask you to cash the orders and wire the money back. The money orders are likely to be fake and after sending money to the scammer, you could find yourself being pursued by the bank for payment.
You should never respond to a request for money, personal information or banking details, regardless of the reason given.
Scammers might not just ask you for money. They may also ask you to provide personal details, such as your name and address, birth date, bank account or credit card numbers, and sometimes family details, intimate photographs and videos, and use this information to steal your identity or attempt to blackmail you.
Remember: you should never send money to anyone you meet online. | 2019-04-22T22:32:39 | https://support.rsvp.com.au/hc/en-gb/articles/201387994-Scammer-examples |
0.998499 | According to the World Health Organization, depression is a worldwide problem that affects an estimated 350 million people. N ot only that, depressive disorders are among the most common psychiatric problems in people who have coronary artery disease (CAD)—the most common type of heart disease.
It’s such a concern that the American Heart Association has been urged to elevate depression to the status of “official risk factor for adverse medical outcomes” in patients with heart disease. And it’s not just heart patients who are at risk of negative outcomes due to depression. Studies have also found higher risk of illness and death among physically healthy people who develop depression.
Given all this, a recent study published in December 2015 aimed to assess whether depression and/or anxiety raise the risk of all-cause mortality and major cardiovascular events in participants with and without CAD.
The researchers followed 2,390 patients at the Montreal Heart Institute for 8.8 years. The patients underwent testing for CAD and psychiatric assessments, and had data collected on other risk factors for disease (smoking, presence of high cholesterol or diabetes, use of medications, body mass index, etc.).
During the observation period, 721 people had at least one major cardiac event, and 165 died—48 percent of deaths were due to cancer, while 32 percent were due to cardiac causes.
Participants who suffered from depressive disorder at the start of the study were more than three times more likely to die compared to patients who had no history of depression. However, there was no link between anxiety disorders and mortality among people with or without CAD.
When results were examined based on CAD status, they revealed a link between depression and all-cause mortality only in those who did not have CAD. Among participants without CAD, those who had depression were four times more likely to die than non-depressed participants. In contrast, patients who had CAD and depression were not at an increased risk of mortality compared to non-depressed counterparts.
What could explain these findings?
According to the researchers, CAD patients often are involved in extensive treatment programs that focus on both physical and mental health. So depression can be treated before it worsens or turns into a bigger concern.
In contrast, unlike CAD patients, physically healthy patients who suffer from depression usually are not under the constant care and supervision of a medical team. Decreased motivation and lack of desire to take care of oneself are hallmark symptoms of depression, and these behaviors can lead to dangerous lifestyle choices (smoking, excessive drinking, poor diet and physical inactivity).
These habits, as you know, dramatically raise the risk of serious, and potentially deadly, diseases, including obesity, cancer and CAD. The researchers also noted that depression may cause physiological changes (inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, to name a few) that elevate risk of fatal diseases.
As for the lack of connection between CAD and anxiety, the researchers explain that people with anxiety are actually less likely to engage in risky behaviors that can lead to early demise (such as smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, refusal to comply with medical treatments or regimens, etc.). Interestingly, anxiety sufferers tend to be proactive and vigilant when it comes to taking care of themselves, possibly because they are hypersensitive to even small bodily changes. As a result, they may seek out medical treatment more often and follow through with doctor’s orders.
Whether or not you currently have heart problems, one thing is clear: Depression is not to be taken lightly. It is a serious condition that should not be swept under the rug or “dulled” with smoking, excessive drinking, binge eating or other destructive behaviors.
Even worse, antidepressants carry a lot of risk. All of these drugs have “black box” labels warning patients that the drugs may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in children and young adults. Other serious side effects include (ironically) worsening depression, anxiety, panic attacks, irritability and hostility, as well as physical symptoms such as insomnia, nausea, dizziness and diarrhea.
Given the risks versus benefits, if you are dealing with depression, antidepressants should be your last resort. The first thing you need to do is seek out a psychologist or therapist experienced in treating mood disorders. Research indicates that cognitive behavioral therapy and interpersonal therapy are two very effective options.
If you and/or your medical team find you need additional help, before turning to antidepressants, consider trying herbs or nutrients that elevate mood naturally. Some that are backed by solid research include St. John’s wort, SAM-e, omega-3 fatty acids and folic acid. | 2019-04-21T05:13:30 | https://lukeclarke.com.au/2016/04/15/depression-heart-disease/ |

The website features a search box at the top of each of its pages allowing its users to enter search terms and quickly find what they are looking for.
A predictor is a person that makes a prediction and posts their prediction for others to read and comment on. Predictors are not necessarily the originators of a prediction (See Prediction Originator). For example, a Predictor may post their own predictions based on interpretations of writings or sayings made by prophets, scientists, researchers, or news organizations. However, proper credit must be given to the Prediction Originator. Predictors can be searched for by name.
Who is a Prediction Originator?
Prediction originators are the original writers or conceivers of the idea behind a given prediction. For example, if a 15th century prophet theorized that an event will happen a certain way and at certain time, then that prophet is the Prediction Originator. Prediction Originators may also be popular figures in the news, in politics, in religion, or in the media who make certain statements of a predictive value. Those statements become the Prediction. Prediction Originators can be searched for by name. Users of the site may enter Predictions on "Behalf off" these Prediction Originators.
As far as this website is concerned, a prediction is a concisely described event asserted to occur at a specific timeframe in the future. A prediction can be based on original theories as proposed by the Predictor. Or, the Predictor may base the Prediction on interpretations of writings or sayings of a Prediction Originator.
How do I know if I have a Prediction worthy of posting?
Predictions must not be vague in nature or they may not meet the requirements for posting. Predictions must have a set date/time or date/time range and must be "worthy" of posting. A prediction is "worthy" of posting if it is relevant to the general public and otherwise newsworthy. For example, a statement about someone's own purposeful or otherwise inevitable predicament or demise will not qualify as a prediction.
How do I find posted Predictions?
Predictions can be searched for by name. Each prediction occupies its own page.
Why can I not change a Prediction Date once it is posted live?
Prediction dates or date ranges cannot be changed once posted live. Otherwise, anyone would be able to repeatedly "postpone" their original prediction.
What are the requirements to be a Registered User?
A registered user must provide a valid email address and username. Although registration is not required to read predictions, a visitor must register in order to post comments or to become a Predictor.
What are Prediction Comments? Registered Users may post comments to any particular Prediction or Prediction Footnote. Comments are limited to 1000 characters each and cannot be edited once posted live. Comments appear below the prediction, most recent first.
What is a Supporting Text?
Once posted, a Prediction may not be edited. However, the Predictor may add footnotes clarifying their Prediction. Footnotes are listed below the Prediction ordered chronologically.
What are Prediction Tags? Each Prediction is allowed up to 12 tags. Tags are editable by the Predictor. Tags are keywords that are associated with the prediction. Tags make it easier for users to find Predictions when searching through the website. If certain tags are very popular, then the website may use these tags as "named" topic categories that can be linked to from the home page.
What are some benefits of being a Registered User?
Registered Users can "add" a Prediction or a Predictor into separate favorites watch lists. When a registered user logs in, they get their own starting page complete with a list of favorite (watched) Predictions and favorite (watched) Predictors.
What is the difference between a Predictor and a Registered User?
Once a registered user makes a Prediction, their status will change to Predictor. Predictors have their own page that lists the first sentence of each of their predictions, ordered by most recent first. Each prediction on the list links to a page containing the prediction.
How is a Prediction tracked and measured in terms of popularity?
Voting buttons are positioned next to (or below) each applicable Prediction and Predictor. | 2019-04-23T22:35:26 | http://predictionsource.com/faq.html |
0.999999 | How does a first-time director attract a punk rock icon for their debut film?
If you're Toby Tobias, I can't help but think it involves writing a a script that practically demands the presence of such an icon. In this case, that icon is Iggy Pop, whose latest release "Post Pop Depression" is earning rave reviews, is Bill in Tobias's Blood Orange, the tale of an ailing rock star living out the final months of his life at a secluded Spanish villa with his stunningly beautiful and promiscuous wife, Isabelle (Kacey Barnfield,The Inbetweeners). Into their lives comes Lucas (Ben Lamb, Divergent), one of Isabelle's ex-lovers and a man who believes she's made off with his inheritance. He wants it back.
A sort of weaving together of revenge thriller meets romantic thriller, Blood Orange is a gently paced hypnotic thriller largely owing to that iconic presence of Iggy Pop. While I in no way want to imply that Pop doesn't have to act here, the simple fact is there are few people in the world who can command your attention simply by appearing on the screen.
Iggy Pop is one of 'em.
While it's entirely possible that Blood Orange would have been a compelling film without the presence of Pop, this ain't a Justin Bieber type of film. Blood Orange becomes an impossible to ignore film largely on the strength of Pop's willing it to be impossible to ignore. While no one who has listened to 'Post Pop Depression," and I have, would dare consider him an aging or ailing rock star, Pop is likely on the downside of a career so legendary you practically assume it will last forever. It's that kind of presence that he brings to Bill, a tired yet endlessly charismatic presence who still seems constantly on the edge and willing to do just about anything.
If there's a problem with Blood Orange, it's simply that no other character is required to live up to Bill's quietly demented passion and glee.
This is not to say the other characters or performances are weak. They aren't. Kacey Barnfield is quietly seductive with hints of romanticism and an air of darkness about her. It's easy to understand why Pop would be so fiercely devoted to her.
Ben Lamb's Lucas is, perhaps, the most layered of the characters, part "nut job" and part victim in Bill's elaborate yet very right on plan. Lamb's performance as times brought to mind the similarly manipulative The Talented Mr. Ripley, a definite compliment set in a different world here.
Filmed over the course of 14 days, Blood Orange is calmly paced, an approach that works well with Pop's naturally deliberate language and intense yet calm demeanor.
Yes, you can be both intense and calm.
Picked up by Philly-based indie distributor Invincible Pictures, Blood Orange arrives for public consumption on May 17th. While the story itself may have some familiar tones to it, it's a fierce and hypnotic film that is the perfect vehicle for Iggy Pop and that rare indie thriller that you won't want to miss. | 2019-04-19T07:09:36 | https://theindependentcritic.com/blood_orange |

0.999949 | web3.eth.estimateGas and JSON-RPC estimateGas can be used to see how much gas should be specified for a transaction, before crafting the transaction.
Since it is an estimate, are there any limitations to it? What cases should its use be relied upon less as it may produce an estimate that is not meaningful or accurate?
estimateGas works by pretending the transaction was actually being included in the blockchain, and then returning the exact gas amount that would have been charged if that pretend operation was real. In other words, it uses the exact same procedure a miner would use to calculate the actual fee.
Given this approach, a casual observer might think that there are no limitations and that the estimate will always be exactly right. Unfortunately, they would be mistaken.
Imagine a simple contract which checks the most recent block hash and then calls another large, gas-guzzling contract only if the 10th bit in the block hash is a 1. If you use estimateGas to measure the consumption of a transaction which calls this simple contract, your result will depend entirely on whether the most recent block contained a 1 in the 10th bit of its block hash. If a new block is published between when you call estimateGas and when the transaction is actually included, your estimate has a 50% chance of being wildly wrong. This may seem like a contrived example, but lots of contracts use block hashes as a source of entropy, and change their behaviour based on what the hash is. So this is something that could definitely happen in the wild.
But it gets worse. What if the contract your transaction is calling on changes its behaviour based on the transactions submitted to it? Now it's possible for the gas consumption to be different based on the order in which transactions were submitted.
For example, suppose a commonly called contract nearly always costs only a few hundred gas to call. But it contains one weird clause in its code so that a message signed by a specific key alters its behaviour, making it consume millions of gas every time it is called. The same key is then able to alter the behaviour back. Now the owner of that key can alter the contract's gas consumption at will. If the owner is a miner, they could use this "trapped contract" to turn this gas-wasting behaviour on at the beginning of every block they compute, and off at the end. As long as they never publicly publish these private transactions, then every call of estimateGas will return a low value, while every genuinely submitted transaction will cost millions of gas (which goes straight into the miner's pocket). With a careful contract design, they wouldn't even have to actually perform the calculations, because they know what the result will be. And they could execute this "fee-stealing attack" at random, only performing it occasionally so no one realises until many users have been taken in.
Again, this example is contrived. But the point is that you should always consider if an attacker has something to gain by you making a bad estimate. If there's a possible vector, put additional code into the part of your app to handle the situation where your estimate is wrong. One simple technique you should always use is to include a sane gas limit. That way there is at least an upper bound on what an attacker can do. Beyond that, remember that it's called the estimateGas call, not the guaranteedMaximumGas call and just be reasonable in your reliance on it.
If there is any way for the consequences of your transaction to change depending on when or to whom it is submitted, there is a potential for estimateGas to be wrong by arbitrarily large amounts. Take extra precautions.
One limitation I have found, or at least a noteworthy aspect of the eth.estimateGas method, is that it only works as intended if the actual call does not throw an exception.
This may well be a bug in the current version of geth, but what I have found is that a call to a method that throws an exception always yields the same gas estimate result, which is a value of 50000000 units of gas. At a gas price of 20000000000, my estimateGas calls were yielding exactly 1 ether, which seemed to be a huge amount for a simple call throwing an exception.
This is a little bit of a bummer, since I have not found a reliable way to estimate gas in transactions that actually throw an exception (which do consume gas) - but at least it is worth knowing ;-) So it looks like a good idea to debug.traceTransaction your transaction prior to estimating its gas consumption to make sure it will not throw an exception and it will not give you widely wrong gas estimate.
One limitation (from my own observation, hopefully someone will correct me if I'm miunderstanding) is that even if estimateGas estimates correctly, that doesn't give you the gas limit that you need to set when sending your transaction.
The issue is that refunds are credited only at the end of the transaction, so if you have a transaction that does some work, and cleans up some storage as it goes, you need to set a high enough gas limit to do all the work without the benefit of the refund.

0.999947 | The Pinball Arcade library of tables grows by two with the Alvin G and Co. Pack. For a bit of context to this pack, Alvin Gottlieb had founded his own pinball company in the early '90s, though for legal reasons he couldn't pursue his interests with the Gottlieb name. Though it was a short-lived venture, his company had produced eight pinball tables between 1991 and 1994. Fortunately, FarSight Studios has brought two of their more famous tables to the digital medium, to preserve the uniqueness that the company had brought to pinball. Cubed3 explores how these tables fare on the Nintendo Switch.
The two tables on offer in this pack are Al's Garage Band Goes on a World Tour and Pistol Poker. Beginning with World Tour, this table has a rockin' theme to the table, with a groovy backing track. Created in 1992 by Alvin's son Michael and Jerry Armstrong, it sets the challenge of touring around the world with a rock band. While the table is littered with some cool features such as a Guitar Mini Playfield and a Spinning Ramp, there is not much else ultimately going for it.
World Tour is a tight-knit table with a lot of "kill" spots that can quickly end the game. This is not for pinball beginners, as the hits require a bit of skill to pull off a series of successive free-flowing ball movements. But other than that, the table does everything else as well as it should, while it's not a complete knock on FarSight Studios for the tables lack of a "wow" factor - perhaps another table from Alvin's slim library might have fared better. While having that sense of awe and wonderment isn't necessarily a requirement, when it must compete with the other tables in the pack, it is hard to justify getting this pack over some of the other offerings.
That's where Pistol Poker comes into the fray. Designed a year later by Michael Gottlieb and Wally Welch, this was the last game created by Alvin G & Co, and it is also their best table. Not only does it feature one of the better Western-themed soundtracks but blending in cowboy motifs with a few hands of Poker & Blackjack to earn chips to reach bigger scores sounds like a bonafide winner. The art style on the table is packed with personality of the cowboy-theme - made even more fitting with the neighing horse sound byte and the "yee-haws" to go with it.
Pistol Poker is a fast-paced table, though it is easy to activate the card-drawing mechanic on the back glass. Building up from a pair through to the Royal Flush is the aim, while the Megamode Multiball can be easy to achieve - but hard to maintain. Still, the challenge of acquiring chips and completing hands is where the fun of this table lies. Because of it, many hours can be spent here trying to not only reach the high scores, but to also get some genuine amusement out of as well. It is a challenging enough table for those looking to master it, but the barrier to jump in isn't as high as World Tour for instance.
While being the Best in the West in Pistol Poker is the main selling point for the Alvin G and Co. Pack, it has to carry a heavy load when the only other game on the pack lacks the rich features and fun gameplay. Al's Garage Band Goes on a World Tour may have some nostalgic value for pinball aficionados, but the digital version just struggles to translate that fun across to the Nintendo Switch. Still, FarSight Studios has shown these two tables the love and care that they have given to their other tables, and for completionists of The Pinball Arcade, this pack cannot go ignored for those wanting to complete the Gottlieb collection of tables available for this title. Just don't expect the same number of hours of fun or a variety of tables as the other packs had. | 2019-04-19T20:39:43 | http://www.cubed3.com/review/5392/1/the-pinball-arcade-alvin-g-and-co-table-pack-nintendo-switch.html |

0.999346 | Q: Is my separation agreement enough to evict? What can I expect?
We have a legal separation agreement in place, which gave my ex a lump sum of money and time to secure housing. This agreement states that she must leave the home I own by November 18. She moved intonto my home and I was forced to leave. She moved in on July 1 and has until November to get a job and secure a place to live. She has done neither. She now says she's not leaving the home and has proof of her search for somewhere "suitable " to live and has come up empty handed. She thinks the fact that she's not happy with anything she finds means that she is allowed to stay in my home past the deadline stated on the agreement. My lawyer spoke of an unlawful detainer. I need more info as to what she is really able to do, because in my mind, she has had plenty of time to secure her own housing. I have been forced to rent an apartment and just want back in my house. Is there any way that she would be granted an even further extension despite the agreement and 5 months to get on her feet?
A: The best advice is to listen to the attorney you already have. That person is going to know the specifics of the case better than any attorney online answering questions. It's possible that you may have a case for an unlawful detainer, but your attorney is in the best place to answer that. If you are unsatisfied, get a second opinion in person from another local attorney. Good luck to you. | 2019-04-22T22:36:44 | https://answers.justia.com/question/2017/10/16/is-my-separation-agreement-enough-to-evi-333058 |
