Ancient rock art to be removed to make way for Australian gas project A petroleum company plans to begin removing more than 150 ancient rock paintings from a sitejust offAustralia's west coast after the federal government turned down an application for a heritage listing that would have preserved the art. On Friday, federal Environment Minister Ian Campbell rejected an application to issue an emergency heritage listing for the Burrup Peninsula, saying a listing could hamper the oil and gas industry. "It's important that we protect our heritage but also protect our economy, protect our jobs â¦. Also see natural gas being exported to the rest of the world," Campbell said. Woodside Petroleum says it will act quickly to remove the petroglyphs from the site to make way for a $5-billion Australian ($4.2-billion Cdn) gas project. Environmentalists and heritage organizations had applied for the heritage listing to protect the more than one million rock carvings on the Dampier Archipelago, a chain of islands off a remote part of Australia. The carvings are 6,000 to 30,000 years old and chronicle the cultural heritage of ancient Aboriginal societies. The petroglyphs are under threat because of acid rain from existing petrochemical plants in the region, and projects that involve blasting to clear the way for development, according to a report by the National Trust, a conservation organization. Aboriginal groups have pressed for protection for the region, along with Australia's Green party. "I'm not very happy at all because they are destroying our heritage and as I've always said, they are destroying our Bible that's lying on the Burrup," said Wong-Goo-Tt-Oo elder Wilfred Hicks. Archeologists say there has been little study of the remote region — all the works have not been catalogued and not much is known about the ancient cultures that created them. The rejection of the heritage listing, made after just 10 days of study by the minister, is unacceptable, said Senator Rachel Siewert, a representative of the Green party. "This is undoubtedly a heritage site, of not only national, but of world significance, and if he can't see his duty is to protect this area — to list it and protect it — he should step down as minister because he's incapable of carrying out his duties," she said.

Video: A DIY Flight Simulator Built in the Nose of a Real Boeing 737 Some people golf. James Price tiners with the full-blown flight simulator he's been building in the nose of a Boeing... Some people golf. James Price tiners with the full-blown flight simulator he's been building in the nose of a Boeing 737 jetliner in his garage for the past two decades. The air traffic controller and aviation enthusiast is now one of only a few people in the world who have built this kind of flight sim in an actual aircraft nose. And he's among only a handful of people in the world with a toy this cool. Price's sim goes far beyond the ambitions of most flight sim enthusiasts, who recreate cockpits in their home offices or spare bedrooms that more or less consist of a computer running a program and the instruments and controls necessary for flight–but not the actual cockpit, much less the nose of the plane. He's poured about $150,000 into his hobby thus far, with no signs of slowing down. And he's become a kind of de facto leader for the few people out there willing to expend this kind of time, energy, and funding to pursue their passions for flight. Price began building his simulator and the program that runs it roughly 20 years ago, but it was around about 2000 when he decided it was time to take it to the next level. He flew out to an aircraft bone yard in Ardmore, Okla., to purchase the nose of his 737 for $1,500. He then had it hauled to California, first to an airport hangar near his home in Pleasanton, near Silicon Valley, and then to his three-car garage where it sits today. He now has it set up with three projectors that beam his flight simulator onto three screens in front of his cockpit windows, giving the illusion of real flight to the person sitting within. His software allows him to fly to any airport in the world, in varying weather conditions (it even has realtime weather conditions piped in over the Web). And Price still considers it a work in progress. See it take flight below.

Slammin Legends Slammin Legends is an undergraduate project from Bellecour Ecole. This is a multiplayer game made with Unreal Engine 5. Check out our Twitter to know more about the game! Twitter: @SlamminLegends The game Slammin Legends is a funky multiplayer sport game inspired by Basketball, hero shooters and the 70's. Dash, shoot, pass, dunk... Or use the special ability of your character to create crucial opportunities to score. Take part in 3v3 games, where the first team to lead 2 rounds wins the match. Let's get your groove on! Art Direction Concerning the Art Direction we wanted to blend good vibes and sport together, so we got a lot of inspiration from the 70's. Indeed, this is a colorful period of time, a key moment in Basketball history, and... it has some groovy funky vibes! We wanted to have our own identity and bring a unique style to sport games, so we chose to have a flat-colored and stylized graphic style to remain in the palette of the 70's. When we started to design the mechanics, our intentions were to make simple ones that added together would create a deeper gameplay and offer a lot of creativity to the players. We designed 4 main mechanics beside our character movement: Dash, Lob, Throw, Dunk. Then, we decided to add another mechanic to add some juice: the special ability. We created 3 different abilities that could be used either in an offensive or defensive way, and that could be placed anywhere on the level. For each of our abilities, we wanted to have a unique character who would have its own personality. We spent some times to find a design that would match our Artistic Direction. After several iterations, we found the characters that would convey the funky spirit we had in mind. UI and Feedbacks Communicate all the informations needed by the players was crucial, and in order to avoid spamming the players with these informations we relied on diegetic UI when we could. For the rest, we used a flat-color style that reminds the 70's era. For the feedbacks, we used some VFX that would be visible from each sides of the court, in that way the players are aware of the actions currently taking place. Level Design We have done several playtests in order to determine what was working to encourage the players to use their abilities, and we finally found the perfect level design for it. Adding some dynamic elements was definitely helpful. Concerning the environment, it took a lot of researches tin order to build a place that would visually remind the 70's and that would emphasize a new futuristic sport at the same time. We took some inspiration from the Brutalism and the Soviet Avant-Garde architecture. Sound Design Finally, we wanted the players to be immersed in a competitive atmosphere, and what's best for that than having a caster in the background! Then we also added some voice acting to the characters in order to reinforce their identities.

Leading private equity and asset management firm Fortress Investment Group was in the news recently after it was announced that the firm would be closing its main macro-themed hedge fund, Fortress Macro, due to poor performance. Furthermore, Michael Novogratz, who ran Fortress Macro, is expected to leave the firm. In the first nine months of the year, when macro hedge funds lost 0.6% on average, recent regulatory filings show that Fortress Macro lost 17.5%. The continuous underperformance of Fortress Macro can also be gauged by the fact that its assets under management have shrunk by more than 80% since 2007 to just $1.6 billion. We at Insider Monkey use our own metrics for measuring performance of hedge funds' long stock picks and that too shows that Fortress Investment Group has been performing poorly this year. The 26 companies with a market value of over $1 billion in which Fortress Investment Group was long as of June 30, according to its last 13F filing, had a weighted average negative return of 11.34% during the third quarter. The same metric for the first nine months of the year shows a loss of 11.2%. Since we don't factor in short positions or investments in bonds or options in our calculations, the actual returns of Fortress Investment Group can different. Follow Fortress Investment Group Llc (NYSE:FIG) Follow Fortress Investment Group Llc (NYSE:FIG) In this article we will be taking a closer look at Fortress Investment Group's five largest equity holdings at the end of the second quarter (according to its 13F filing) and see how they contributed to the firm's under-performance during the third quarter. Fortress Investment Group started as a private equity firm in 1998, founded by ex-BlackRock Financial partner Wesley R. Edens and two former UBS managing directors, Robert Kauffman and Randal A. Nardone. The firm started its hedge fund operations in 2002 by bringing in Michael Novogratz and Pete Briger, both of whom served as partners at Goldman Sachs. The remarkable success of Fortress Investment Group's private equity arm led the firm to have a very successful IPO right before the financial crisis on February 9, 2007. However, tides have turned since then and the performance of the group is reflected by its stock price, which is down by almost 70% from its IPO price of $18.50 and significantly below the $35 figure at which it debuted on the exchanges. As of June 30, the U.S equity portfolio of Fortress Investment Group as a whole was worth $7.24 billion, with two-thirds of it invested in stocks from the financial sector. Follow Michael Novogratz's Fortress Investment Group We track hedge funds and prominent investors because our research has shown that historically their stock picks delivered superior risk-adjusted returns. This is especially true in the small-cap space. The 50 most popular large-cap stocks among hedge funds had a monthly alpha of about six basis points per month between 1999 and 2012; however the 15 most popular small-cap stocks delivered a monthly alpha of 80 basis points during the same period. This means investors would have generated 10 percentage points of alpha per year simply by imitating hedge funds' top 15 small-cap ideas. We have been tracking the performance of these stocks since the end of August 2012 in real time and these stocks beat the market by 53 percentage points (102% return vs. S&P 500's 48.7% gain) over the last 37 months (see the details here). Consumer financial services company Springleaf Holdings Inc (NYSE:LEAF) was Fortress Investment Group's largest equity holding at the end of the second quarter. As of June 30, the firm held around 73.44 million shares of the company worth $3.37 billion, and this stake accounted for 46.57% of Fortress Investment Group's U.S public equity portfolio. Although shares of Springleaf Holdings Inc (NYSE:LEAF) remained largely flat and ended the third quarter down by 4.8%, the solid gains they made in the first quarter of the year has ensured that they are still trading up by 24.3% year-to-date. The popularity of the company saw a massive jump during the second quarter among the funds covered by us, as 33 hedge funds reported a stake in it at the end of the quarter, compared to just 15 at the end of the first quarter. On October 7, analysts at Janney Montgomery Scott initiated coverage on the stock with a 'Buy' rating and a $57 price target. Martin Hughes' Toscafund Asset Management initiated a large stake in Springleaf Holdings Inc (NYSE:LEAF) during the second quarter, purchasing 865,000 shares. Follow Onemain Holdings Inc.

首页>要闻>天下 天下 "Reality leaves a lot to the imagination." - John Lennon "现实总是留给想象极大的空间"-----约翰 列侬How many times have we told ourselves in complete earnestness, "I'm going to be more organized and productive from now on."? Or that the diet starts tomorrow? Or that we're going to make a real effort to exercise now?多少次我们曾坚定地对自己说"从现在开始我要活得更有规划,更有成就"?从明天起开始减肥?或者开始努力锻炼身体?Only to have that enthusiasm fizzle away, and all our best intentions come to nothing?那种热情是否很快就消失了,而我们的目标也完全没有实现呢?It's the most common thing in the world (besides bacteria) ― the honest and fervent desire for self-improvement, followed by inaction or giving in to temptations, followed by guilt or giving up. Bridget Jones captured it best, writing her constant resolutions into her diary. "Will definitely go to the gym this afternoon." Only to be followed by a binge of pastries followed by drinking and smoking.世界上最常见的事莫过于,当初诚挚而热烈地追求自我发展目标,而后却由于懒怠和经不住诱惑而放弃,最终内疚不已。布丽琪特对此体会最深,她在日记中经常写到自己的决定"今天下午一定要去体育馆",然而最终却以狂欢派对,喝酒,抽烟取而代之。We're all Bridget Jones. It happens to the best of us. It's inertia at work, mixed with a bit of laziness as well as the very human trait of giving in to desires despite all the good intentions in the world.我们都是布丽琪特。尽管我们有很多美好的目标,但由于在工作中的惯性,懒惰,和对诱惑的妥协,这类事情常常发生在我们身上。1. Get moving, a bit at a time. Inertia is beat only by movement. Once you get going, momentum builds up and inertia is no longer a factor. So the key is to get started, and you do that not by trying to go from 0 to 60 in 5 seconds, but by trying to go from 0 to 5mph in a day or two. That's doable. It's all about baby steps. Once you get going, you're golden.采取行动,每次进步一点。唯有行动可以击败惯性。一旦你行动起来,动力就会源源而来,惯性也不再成为问题了。所以关键在于着手开始干,这并不是说你在五分钟内重复60次,而是说要努力在一两天内重复5次。这只是第一步,一旦你开始行动,你就成功了一半。 /201001/95360 The bride wore a white dress decorated with 1,800 Swarovski crystals and accessorised with a pearl necklace. 新娘所穿着的婚纱上镶有1800粒施华洛世奇水晶,并且搭配了珍珠项链。 And as she trotted into the room to the wedding march, played by a harpist, she was met by the groom, smartly dressed in a tuxedo. 当她款款步入结婚礼堂时,竖琴奏乐,等待她的是着燕尾帅气逼人的新郎。 Afterwards, 80 guests enjoyed a sumptuous buffet in a marquee adorned with ?4,000 of flowers, balloons and decorations. 之后,在场的80位宾客在充满了气球与4000英镑所装点的帐篷内享受了美味的佳肴。 But this was no ordinary wedding.

Independent economists who conducted their own data adjustments found signs of surprising weakness.中国制造业在1月份表现强劲;;至少这是官方调查所展现的景象。由于上周的春节黄金周,该项调查需要进行大量的统计调整。同时,自主进行数据调整的一些独立经济学家表示,他们发现了出乎意料的疲软迹象。 Amid the confusion, all could agree on one point: trying to get a clear on the Chinese economy at the start of the year, when much of the country shuts down for a couple of weeks, is fiendishly difficult.在一团迷茫中,各方应该会同意一点:要在年初清晰地判读中国经济是极其困难的,因为全国相当大部分产业要停工两周过年。 This has always been the case but is particularly vexing this year. The economy may be at a turning point, requiring much more policy support to keep growth on track. Yet it could be weeks, even months, before the full extent of any slowdown becomes clear.这个问题一直存在,但今年尤其令人头疼。中国经济也许正处于一个转折点,需要多得多的政策持才能保持增长。可是,经济放缓的全貌可能需要数周乃至数月时间才能清晰展现。 ;It is not an ideal situation,#39; said Wang Tao, an economist with UBS. ;It affects the government as well. They ask for advice from their think-tanks and they are looking at the same set of data and may not be considering so much some of these technical, seasonal issues.;;这种局面不理想,;瑞银(UBS)经济学家汪涛表示。;这也影响到政府。他们向他们的智库征求建议,大家在研究同一组数据,也许不会过多考虑某些技术性、季节性的因素。; China#39;s official purchasing managers#39; index, an important gauge of factory activity, rose to 50.5 in January, up from 50.3 a month earlier. In remaining above 50, the PMI pointed to an expansion in industrial output that confounded forecasts for a decline.衡量工业活动的重要指标;;中国的官方采购经理指数(PMI)在1月份升至50.5,高于前一个月的50.3。这个PMI数据仍高于50,说明工业产出仍在扩张,有关下降的预测不准确。 The subindexes that comprise the PMI showed a sharp drop in export orders but a general increase in new orders ; an indication that domestic strength was more than cushioning the impact of Europe#39;s debt travails.构成PMI指数的几个分类指数显示,出口订单大幅下降,但新订单总体上升,说明国内经济的强劲程度足以抵消欧债危机的冲击。 However, Ms Wang said that her team#39;s adjustment of the data produced the opposite result: exports were unexpectedly robust, while domestic demand was the weak link.但汪涛表示,她的团队在对相关数据进行调整后,得出相反的结果:出口意外强劲,而国内需求才是薄弱环节。 A separate PMI, which is sponsored by HS, told a similar story. The headline index was sluggish at 48.8, signalling a mild deterioration in manufacturing conditions, but export orders rose.汇丰(HS)持的另一项PMI调查展现出类似的情况。整体指数不振,为48.8,显示制造业状况小幅恶化,但出口订单上升。 The quality of Chinese economic data has long come under suspicion, with critics alleging that it is manipulated by the government trying to cast a positive gloss on its achievements. Li Keqiang, who is widely expected to be China#39;s next premier, said that GDP figures were ;man-made; and ;for reference only;. 中国经济数据的质量长期受到怀疑,批评人士称,这些数据受到政府操纵,因为政府试图给自己的政绩抹金。普遍预期将出任中国下届总理的李克强曾表示,中国的国内生产总值(GDP)数据是人造的,仅供参考。 But analysts say the real problem is less manipulation and more the sheer challenge of measuring a continent-sized economy that is growing ; and changing ; so quickly.但分析师们表示,真正的问题与其说是操纵,不如说是测算一个幅员辽阔、正在快速增长(和变化)的经济体所涉及的艰巨挑战。 This challenge is particularly acute at the start of the year when businesses close and tens of millions of workers head home for the Chinese New Year. Depending on whether the week-long holiday falls in January or February, it can have a major impact on data: lavish banquets lead to a jump in food inflation that soon subsides and factory closures cause a sharp but temporary drop in industrial output.这种挑战在年初尤其突出,每年这个时候,大批企业关门停产,数以千万计的农民工回家过年。春节假期是落在1月还是2月,可能对数据产生重大影响:节日宴请导致食品通胀跃升,但不久就会回落,同时工厂停产导致工业产出呈现急剧但短暂的下降。 Because there were so few work days in January, statisticians had to extrapolate to produce figures for the full month, but economists suspect that they may have overestimated industrial activity in the process.由于1月份工作日这么少,因此统计人员不得不推算得出全月的数据,但经济学家们怀疑,在此过程中他们可能过高估算了工业活动。 ;Without sufficient seasonal adjustment, PMI this January would have been downwardly distorted. However, it is also likely that seasonal adjustment was overdone,; said Ting Lu, an economist with Bank of America Merrill Lynch. ;Take all monthly January and February data with a grain of salt.;;若没有充足的季节调整,今年1月的PMI数据将会偏低。不过,季节调整也有可能过头,;美银美林(Bank of America Merrill Lynch)经济学家陆挺表示。;要用怀疑的眼光看待所有1月和2月的月度数据。; Yet waiting until March would be a feat of patience for investors looking to allocate funds. Putting policy on pause would also be a risk for the government. A range of partial indicators, from housing starts to freight volumes at ports, all point to a marked slowdown from China#39;s 9.2 per cent growth last year.可是,对急于配置资金的投资者来说,等待3月份公布的数据是需要极大耐心的。暂停调整政策对政府也是一个风险。从住房开工数据到港口的货运量,一系列局部指标均显示,中国经济增长较去年的9.2%有显著放缓。 Many analysts had expected that the central bank would cut required reserves in January ; a favoured tool in China for pumping cash into the financial system and propping up the economy. But it held its fire and instead adopted more cautious tactics, relying on open-market operations to inject liquidity.许多分析师此前预期,中国央行将在1月降低存款准备金率;;这是中国爱用的一种工具,目的是向金融体系释放现金,持经济。但中国央行并未使出这一招,而是采用了更为审慎的战术,依靠公开市场操作来注入流动性。 Some domestic companies, especially property developers, have warned that the economy could suffer if the government does not shift soon to a more stimulative stance.一些国内企业(尤其是房产开发商)警告称,如果政府不很快转向一种更加保增长的姿态,经济将会出问题。Premier Wen Jiabao sought to counter those fears this week, saying that policy can change course quickly if necessary.中国总理温家宝本周寻求回应这些担忧,他表示,如有必要,政策可以很快转向。;We must sharply observe and accurately judge the momentum of the domestic economy, paying utmost attention to the first signs of problems,; he said at a cabinet meeting.;要敏锐观察和准确判断国内外经济走势,高度重视苗头性、倾向性问题,;温家宝在国务院会议上表示。译者:和风 /201202/170400

Smart machines are here and they're changing how the world works. As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes ever more embedded in business and society, the EU has declared the need for a 'human-centric' approach to AI. In other words, we need to figure out how humans can best interact and collaborate with machines, both practically and in a more overarching way, when it comes to the socio-economic, legal and ethical implications. That means working on practical, ethical and legal frameworks for AI development, oversight and leadership. To that end, TU Dublin is leading CISC (Collaborative Intelligence for Safety Critical systems), which is a Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions Innovative Training Network funded to the tune of €3.6m by the EU's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. A four-year project, it involves 13 other partners from higher education and industry in Ireland, Austria, Denmark, Italy and Serbia, including multinationals such as Iveco and Pilz. "The idea of the researcher as the lone wolf is disappearing," says Dr Maria Chiara Leva, who is leading the project from TU Dublin, "because the complexity of what we face is such that, on your own, you can't tackle it all. So research is becoming more and more collaborative in nature, like this project, where we are bringing together expertise from different areas." How CISC aims to improve human-AI interaction The network aims to hire, train and mentor early-stage researchers (ESR) or PhD students as collaborative intelligence (CI) scientists. CISC aims to give these 14 world-class, leading CI scientists the right expertise and skills in AI, human factors, neuro-ergonomics and system safety engineering to enable the development of a collaborative intelligence system. It also intends to set up a blueprint for postgraduate training in this area. Safety critical systems used to bring to mind oil and gas, but now applications of AI in these systems can arise in manufacturing, Internet of Things, healthcare and transport, among other sectors. These systems are designed to minimise disruption, risk, losses and accidents, and are what is known as 'human in the loop' scenarios, as humans and AI work together to achieve the desired results. As technology has improved and machine malfunctions have diminished, human error is responsible for as many as 80% of accidents. "Systems are becoming more autonomous," says Dr Leva, "but the role of the human is not disappearing because of that. Most of the time there is this very unrealistic expectation that the human will come in and save the day when things go wrong with the automation, but that is very difficult." Ensuring humans know how to work with AI Ideally, AI enhances humans' cognitive skills and creativity. It can do things like enabling robotics and analysis of huge data sets, freeing workers from low-level tasks and extending their physical capabilities. Enabling the best results can involve technology such as wearable sensors and optimised interfaces to give the person the most useful and relevant information from the machine. "The paradox is that automation is very difficult to achieve," adds Dr Leva, "unless the design has been such to allow the human being to be involved and also to cater for the capability and knowledge that can get lost in translation. The less you tell the person to do, the less they know how to do when there's an issue." Vital real-world results from live labs As part of the project, the chosen researchers will work on live labs projects around real-world challenges such as alarm management in oil and gas, where humans need not to be overwhelmed by too much information in an emergency so they can intervene early and react promptly and appropriately. Others may investigate human-robot collaboration in spaces that are not typically visible to people, such as deep underwater or at the nanoparticle level. "The students are learning how to adapt their approach and their methods, and how to engage with the company to actually develop a solution that fits both sides, that fits the academic side and fits the company's needs," says Professor John D Kelleher, Dr Leva's colleague at TU Dublin. "It's sometimes frustrating for both sides, but that's the real world." Along with the live labs work, the CISC project also aims to develop a CI framework – a world-leading 'human-centric' approach to AI – and an ethical and legal framework for CI in safety-critical scenarios to translate and test the EU guidelines on ethics in AI in risk sensitive applications such as large manufacturing, process industry, and critical infrastructures. Project leadership proves worthwhile "The project lead like (Maria) Chiara must give a huge amount of their time," says Professor Kelleher. "They have to believe authentically in the challenge we're looking at because it's going to take over their lives. I am in awe of the amount of work and coordination she puts into it." He adds that the work and effort is worthwhile, however, and not just about the amount of funding awarded. "You put in this proposal, you wait a long time, and then you're doing all the paperwork. And then there's a ramp up phase, where you're trying to get people in place. "But the emotional payoff came when we first got all the early-stage researchers into the same room and realised, actually this programme can change people's lives. Also, we are getting to mentor these young researchers and that is very rewarding."

He was the first one to return my call and to look at the job, and I thought his price was fair. I believe now it was way more than fair, considering the time he spent. He did extensive research, going over a structural engineer's report I had done previously on the deck and even examining the original architectural drawings and materials invoices from 1959. He showed up at least three times to complete the repair in stages, and has been back a half a dozen times since then to check the job -- and my location is not exactly in his neighborhood. He accepted only enough payment in advance to pay for lodging for himself and his assistant when they stayed nearby one night in order to be there early the next morning. He gave and continues to give free advice about preserving my stone house and patio.

[Korea History] School grades a matter of life and death ... literally for some Teens' death in 1989 is reminder of extreme pressure for college admission in Korea By Yoon Min-sikPublished : June 28, 2023 - 15:56 "Happiness Does Not Come in Grades." This is the title of a Korean teen movie released in the summer of 1989. The film went on to become the third highest-grossing film of that year. Just like any typical teen movie, the film weaves together a budding romance, friendships and the trials of school life. Set in Korea in the 1980s, the film ends in tragedy -- the lead character, played by then-17-year-old Lee Mi-yeon, kills herself under immense pressure for academic excellence. The film's title, which continues to resonate with students to this day, derives from the last words of the teenage girl. Despite the movie's message, life imitated art later that year when two high school students died by suicide amid the pressure of the approaching college entrance exam, as reported by The Korea Herald on Nov. 7, 1989. The single-column article tells a harrowing story of how one of the two, a 19-year-old boy, jumped to his death while his mother pleaded him not to. The other student, a 17-year-old girl, was described as showing signs of having a nervous breakdown, before she was found dead. Both incidents occurred within a few blocks of each other in the Eunma Apartment complex in Daechi-dong, a district in Seoul's Gangnam-gu famous for private academies and cram schools. Sadly, the double tragedy at the Daechi-dong apartment was just one among many teen suicides that occurred throughout the year. And, as the competition for elite schools reached perilous levels in a country obsessed with education, many more would follow. Grades claim lives Education Ministry data from 2022 shows that a total of 630 elementary, middle and high school students died by suicide between 2018 and 2021. In 116 of the deaths, academic pressure was cited as the main reason. Grades caused more deaths by suicide than sexual violence, personal relationship troubles, financial issues and other reasons. The ministry's 2022 white paper on suicide preventions shows that students with lower grades were more likely to consider suicide, and that such tendencies were more profound in girls. Among female high school students, 13.3 percent with high grades reported having suicidal thoughts, while the figure was 13.5 percent for those with mid-level grades and 23.5 percent for those with low grades. In July 2022, local civic group World Without Worries About Private Education conducted a survey on 7,035 students across the country and found that 25.9 percent of the respondents had contemplated hurting or even killing themselves. Over half said that grades were the main source of stress. The rate of those who had considered self-harm or suicide was higher among older students: 63 percent among high school seniors, 50.4 percent middle school seniors and 27.4 percent among sixth graders. "Korea needs a state committee to discuss how to alleviate students' pain (stemming) from an overly competitive education system and find reasonable solutions for this problem," the civic group stressed. Reform after reform, but deaths continue South Korea's education authorities have tried to take steps to fix the problem. One of their many efforts was the College Scholastic Ability Test or the Suneung. Introduced in 1994, it was a standardized test modeled after the United States' SAT and aimed to test students' logical thinking and problem solving abilities, rather than their rote memorization skills. Authorities sought to reduce the burden of preparation by reducing the number of subjects included in the annual test. Nearly three decades after the introduction, however, the Suneung finds itself in a tough spot. Earlier this month, President Yoon Suk Yeol issued strong words of criticism toward the test, particularly in regard to the so-called "killer questions" characterized by their high level of difficulty. He said the Suneung should not test students on materials that do not appear in school textbooks, saying those questions are "just messing with children." Following Yoon's comment, the Education Ministry rolled out a series of reforms that include an additional oversight of Suneung questions by a panel of teachers, free online lectures and college admission counseling for students. Ministry officials hope that the measures will curb the country's escalating private education expenses, which, according to Statics Korea, accounted for a larger proportion of spending than food for both high-income and average-income households in 2022. Assessment of governmental reform notwithstanding, several education experts say that the Suneung requires some adjustment. Park Do-su, professor emeritus at Korea University and one of the founders of the state-administered test, said in a recent interview with local media that the Suneung was never intended as a test that ultimately determines which college one could go to. "Suneung was designed so that it would be used as one of the various tools that colleges could use to evaluate students," he said, saying its original intent was to assess the linguistic and thinking abilities of college applicants. Despite the series of education reforms that took place since the 1990s, the problems with the college admission system persist, with both political circles and civic society searching for answers. World Without Worries About Private Education filed a joint petition with 93 lawyers to the Constitutional Court arguing that the current college admission system is unconstitutional since it forces students into extreme competition that infringes upon their dignity, rights to pursue happiness and their right to life. Rep. Kang Deuk-gu of the main opposition Democratic Party last month proposed a bill that would ban curved grading systems in college admissions, saying that it leads to unreasonable competition among students. While the exact path remains unclear, consensus across the country is that something needs to be done about the current college admission system in order to stop the pressure on students from getting out of hand. In 2019, exactly 30 years after the two teens died at the Eunma Apartment complex, a 19-year-old jumped to his death after taking the Suneung. "For too long, our country has permitted a 'war-like' competition-based education system that students go through to enter prestigious universities. It is time for the adults, and the nation, to look into the sense of shame and guilt students experience (from not getting good grades), and into the system and the culture we have made," Rep. Kang said. If you're thinking about self-harm or suicide, contact the Ministry of Health and Welfare's helpline 1393, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Pages: 1 I can't figure out what I'm not doing or what I'm doing wrong in order to Create Document from a template while using Thunar. Right clicking in the open space doesn't list a Writer template that I've place in ~/Templates or in ~/Templates/Writer. I've followed the instructions here: http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/workin … nd-folders Create Document Allows you to create a new document either as a blank file or from a template. If you choose the Empty File option and type in a file name with no extension, by default it will create an empty, plain text document. If you assign a file extension of a recognized MIME type, it will create a file of that type. For example, typing MyDocument.odt will create a blank OpenDocument Text file. You can also create files from a pre-configured templates. To do that, you first create a file with all of your desired settings in the application of your choice and then save it in the ~/Templates folder. That file name will then appear as a choice in the Create Document list. Give it a new name and you now have a new file based on your custom settings. I've tried saving the file several different ways, but I'm unable to get anything other than the default Empty File to show. What am I missing? Try these steps: Open mousepad, type in the word "template" and save the document as "Mousepad.txt" in ~/Templates Open Thunar and navigate to your "Documents" folder. Right-click and select "Create Document > Mousepad" You will be prompted for a name for the file. Enter something else or keep the same. Your call. Open the new file you created, you will see the word "template" in the document. So basically, this allows you to make a copy of an existing document from your Templates folder. Now imagine if you created a libreoffice document to document meeting minutes, where you created the outline/format (plus any specific formatting) for minute-taking but there was no data in it. You can quickly create copies of this "template" document for your minute-taking needs. Following your instructions still only shows the default Empty Text file.

MAKING HEIRLOOMS During a career that spanned 32 years, George Wells was a kind of rug maker to the rich and famous. Audrey Hepburn, Richard Rodgers, the Rockefellers, the Du Ponts and a more-contemporary local celebrity, the soprano Kiri Te Kanawa, all had rugs custom-made at Mr. Wells's Ruggery in Glen Head. To honor the craftsman, who died last year at the age of 82, the Sea Cliff Museum is presenting an exhibition, ''The Making of an Heirloom, a Tribute to George Wells, Rugmaker.'' The show, which opens today, continues through July. None of the rugs on view belonged to any of Mr. Wells's notable customers; they just weren't available, said Mildred Allen, a spokeswoman for the museum. About the only rug with quasi-celebrity status is one showing a portrait of the Three Village Inn. It will be added to the museum show next month, when that recently sold Stony Brook landmark is closed for renovations. The exhibition, however, does include a relatively comprehensive sampling of Mr. Wells's work and artistry: the unusual abstractions that he hooked early on, traditional patterns that he copied from history books and works that captured customers' favorite gardens, houses and animals. Watercolors that served as Mr. Wells's patterns, yarns and weaving and hooking apparatus also are featured. The museum is at 95 10th Avenue, Sea Cliff, and is open from 2 to 5 P.M. Sundays. A donation is requested. CHORAL CONCERTS When two community chorales take to the stage today, their programs will illustrate the variety of choral music. For example, the Great Neck Choral Society takes a light-hearted approach with its ''Vocal Variety for a Sunday Afternoon.'' The concert includes Schubert's ''Song of Miriam,'' featuring Cheryl Bensman Rowe as soprano soloist; a selection of American folk songs arranged by Elie Siegmeister, the noted Great Neck composer; some Richard Rodgers tunes; a medley of 19th-century pop hits, and even ''Capriol,'' a Peter Warlock piano duet dance suite, performed by Johannes and Anne Somary. Mr. Somary is the society's conductor; she is its accompanist. The concert is at 3 P.M. at the South Middle School on Lakeville Road. Call 487-3216 for ticket information. In Farmingdale, St. Luke's Bach Choir stays with the traditional classics tonight when it offers its spring concert. Mozart gets the nod as the choir, accompanied by an orchestra performing on authentic 18th-century instruments and under Fredric Fehleisen's baton, presents the ''Requiem in D minor.'' The concert is at 7:30 P.M. at St. Luke's Lutheran Church on Conklin Street. The suggested donation is $5. 'VISUAL CONCERT' ''Come see the music,'' says the Tilles Center invitation, referring to tonight's concert. ''See the music?'' Why not? The program is part of the Brookville concert hall's ''New Directions'' series and, therefore, ''New York Counterpoint: Richard Stoltzman and Friends'' is determinedly ''new'' in that it blends classical music with jazz and then allows a visual artist to give it extra flair. That is, Mr. Stoltzman, the acclaimed clarinet virtuoso, will be joined by the composer-pianist Bill Douglas and the jazz bassist Eddie Gomez in a program that will range from Saint-Saens and Bach to Charlie Parker and Steve Reich. All will be accompanied by John Pearson's visual counterpoint of images in many hues projected behind and around them. All this takes place at 7 P.M. at the Tilles Center, on the C. W. Post campus of Long Island University. Ticket information: 626-3100. BOX TURTLES GALORE Back in 1911, after he married into the William Floyd family, John Tredwell Nichols, curator of ichthyology at the American Museum of Natural History, began marking the box turtles that inhabited the 613-acre estate on Moriches Bay, ostensibly to see how long they lived and where. By the time he died in 1958, Mr. Nichols had marked some 1,000 turtles, but it wasn't until 1980 that his legacy was discovered and updated. That's when Rich Stavdahl came to the William Floyd Estate in Shirley, now a National Historic Site owned and operated by the National Park Service. Mr. Stavdahl, a ranger at the Federal preserve, began recovering the Nichols turtles - some dating to the 1930's - and, to continue the work started seven decades ago, began marking his own specimens. ''It's a unique situation we have here,'' Mr. Stavdahl said, noting that turtles generally are not faring well on Long Island because of all the development. So far, 446 turtles bear his initials and date of marking, joining the 14 Nichols carryovers. Mr. Stavdahl will tell all about his work - and of Mr. Nichols's efforts, too - in ''Box Turtles of the William Floyd Estate,'' a talk he will give tomorrow at 8 P.M. at a meeting of the Moriches Bay Audubon Society. The free program is at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge on Old Main Road. Information: 653-4771. CONSTITUTIONAL DEBATE That there's a bit of actor in every good teacher is something most good teachers won't deny. Michael D'Innocenzo and Richard C. Harris, history and American studies and literature professors at Hofstra University and S.U.N.Y./Fort Schuyler, respectively, take it even further.

Roger Staubach Says Super Bowl Seat Fiasco Was "a Horrible Mistake," But NFL Assured Him of Second Chance for North Texas As reporters gathered around Roger Staubach following this morning's launch of Mike Rawlings's mayoral campaign at Dallas City Hall, questions inevitably shifted to his thoughts about the approximately 400 fans that were denied seats at Super Bowl XLV because portions of the temporary seating weren't installed prior to game time. "It's a shame what happened," said the chair of the North Texas Super Bowl XLV Host Committee. "And those human beings -- whether it's two or 400 or how many -- it's not good. But, you put that in perspective. It was a heckuva game. I know The New York Times put that issue ahead of the game itself. That's the way life is. It was a mistake and shouldn't have happened." The Hall of Fame quarterback was quick to absolve himself of any blame for the seating fiasco. "If I was involved with the seats, I would have admitted it, but I wasn't involved with the seats," he said. "So, there was a horrible mistake made, and the NFL is owning up to it."

"The stadium is one of the premier entertainment facilities in the world, and I think it showed very well," he said. "There were some long lines there security-wise. Everyone was worried about security, but on an overall basis, I think we had a very, very good Super Bowl." Staubach also claimed the region should receive credit for its efforts during the icy conditions that plagued roads throughout the area. "We had equipment here that we got from all over Texas," he said. "[North Central Texas Council of Governments transportation director] Michael Morris anticipated the bad weather. I said, 'Mike, we don't need all that equipment here,' so you never know. But we had tons of equipment here." While he said he's "kinda retired" and won't serve on a future bid committee, Staubach is confident that North Texas will host the game again. "[The NFL] will be back," he said. "They told me that."

Payment Calculation District shall pay Contractor at a rate of $ per . OR District shall pay Contractor as described in attached Exhibit A Overtime Calculation For the purpose of overtime calculation only, approved or scheduled time off work will be considered the same as time worked. Daily Management Fee Calculation For each calendar day, each class of each Fund shall accrue a fee calculated by multiplying the Per Annum Fee Rate for that class by the net assets of the class on that day, and further dividing that product by 365 (366 in leap years). Interest Calculation Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance. Calculation Any figure or percentage referred to in this Agreement shall be carried to seven decimal places. Certain Calculations Unless otherwise specified herein, the following provisions shall apply: Proration of calculations If less than total program funding is subject to interest calculation procedures, the resulting interest liability calculations shall be prorated to 100% of program funding. Calculation of Fees Each Fund will pay to PIMCO as compensation for PIMCO's services rendered, for the facilities furnished and for the expenses borne by PIMCO pursuant to Section 6, a fee, computed and paid monthly, at the annual rate for each Fund set forth in Schedule A. The average daily total managed assets or average daily net assets, as applicable, of a Fund shall be determined by taking an average of all the determinations of such amount during such month at the close of business on each business day during such month while this Agreement is in effect. Such fee shall be payable for each month within 5 business days after the end of such month. If the fees payable to PIMCO pursuant to this Section 5 with respect to a Fund begin to accrue before the end of any month or if this Agreement terminates before the end of any month, the fees payable by the Fund for the period from that date to the end of that month or from the beginning of that month to the date of termination, as the case may be, shall be pro-rated according to the proportion which the period bears to the full month in which the effectiveness or termination occurs. For purposes of calculating "total managed assets" or "daily net assets", the liquidation preference of any preferred shares outstanding shall not be considered a liability. By way of clarification, with respect to any reverse repurchase agreement, dollar roll or similar transaction, "total managed assets" includes any proceeds from the sale of an asset of a Fund to a counterparty in such a transaction, in addition to the value of the underlying asset as of the relevant measuring date. In the event that PIMCO has agreed to a fee waiver or an expense limitation or reimbursement arrangement with a Fund, subject to such terms and conditions as PIMCO and the Fund may set forth in such agreement, the compensation due PIMCO hereunder shall be reduced, and, if necessary, PIMCO shall bear expenses with respect to the Fund, to the extent required by such fee waiver or expense limitation or reimbursement arrangement. Offense Level Calculations i. The base offense level is 7, pursuant to Guideline § 2B1.1(a)(1). Subsequent Recalculation In the event the Internal Revenue Service subsequently adjusts the excise tax computation herein described, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the full amount necessary to make the Executive whole on an after-tax basis (less any amounts received by the Executive that the Executive would not have received had the computations initially been computed as subsequently adjusted), including the value of any underpaid excise tax, and any related interest and/or penalties due to the Internal Revenue Service.

Content Count37 Last visited About UndeadCrusader Recent Profile Visitors Are Force Upgrades weak or expensive? UndeadCrusader replied to DerRitter's topic in X-WingBrilliant Evasion is 6 points for most of the pilots as it has variable cost. But so far Hate is cool, used it even on Grand Inquisitor and it helped him survive for like 2 rounds more because of force regen. SNR is just too expensive to take most of the time. But Ini3 Inquisitor with this can be a beast, with 3 actions per turn, repo and super dial. Sense can be usable but I don't see myself really using it. Predictive shot is just useless as you have to use it before rolling dice and it counts on you rolling badly. Brilliant Evasion looks good on paper, not that great in use, but can be really useful when you take TL or whatever and roll two eyeballs on defence just to spend one force. But I would like it to drop i bit. Hightened Perception is great if you ask me. I run Windu/Saesee/Luminara with it as triple ace list and it works good. Instinctive Aim, is not just about taking a lock but actually shooting at someone else in case the ship you locked gets out of arc or whatever. Make yourself a bigger threat by having the opportunity to target anyone. Battle Meditation works well, could be cheaper, but worked well when I have tried it. As for all force talents and even force using pilots is that everything wants you to spend force. When you have 3 force it is much easier, but for most of them having 2 force... having to spend force for your Pilot Ability and Force Talent? Nope... yes if you are Windu and can do a red maneuver next turn.

UndeadCrusader replied to bobafett1228's topic in X-WingWhat are you talking about? Rebels are in a really good shape. Fat Han, Y-wing spam.. Wedge+Thane+Jake+Dutch, Leia is quite broken for her price. Nantex Ensnare UndeadCrusader replied to UndeadCrusader's topic in X-Wing Rules QuestionsAnd where do you take that from. Because neighter rulebook nor rules ref say that. Nantex Ensnare UndeadCrusader posted a topic in X-Wing Rules QuestionsHi, I went trough rulebook and rules reference, but I'm still not sure about this. So here I am. Can I do ensnare like once per end of activation phase or each time I am tractored during end of activation phase? Lets say, I have three, or for easier example, two nantex fighters. One of them has tractor, he passes it to the other one trough ensnare and boosts itself, then it is tractored and can pass it back to the first one and repeat? Have you finished a 2.0 match before time was called? UndeadCrusader replied to pickirk01's topic in X-WingMy playtime got longer in 2.0 but thats because I'm more cautious. With certain lists I was able to table my opponent in like 20 minutes in 1.0, which I wasn't able to do in 2.0 most of the time. But 8/10 games end before time. Jedi pilot opinions UndeadCrusader replied to millertime059's topic in X-WingAnakin - quite expensive and I'm not that much sold on his ability. Obi - great for... reasons Plo - can do some crazy things or not... depending on your list and your opponent Ahsoka -useful, even at I3 Mace - I just find great, slap hightened perception, 7B and R4-P17 on him and he is just beast. Probably my favourite pilot of all, good ability, 3 force and solid price. Saesee - maybe useful, playing him, Mace and Lumi with hightened perc each against 4xI5 squadron was really strong but moving first didn't net me use his ability once, still I didn't need it. Luminara - I found her to be quite good. The turns I didn't use HP and shot second made my opponent use his focus/force to push more damage trough or just settle with one hit which I evaded. Less useful when I engaged at I7. Barriss - That one force is just bad and too expensive to even consider her in a list for me as I see Luminara just better. Jedi Knight - 3x with Battle meditation, R3 and 7B were quite solid but not that great I won against high ini rebel list but my opponent just rolled bad. And as a support ship with cheap battle meditation pretty solid. But I agree, better to find points for named pilots with atleast 2 force. Yeah, I don't know what I have been thinking about.... screwed up. But still, if Snoke, Informant or whatever flips your dial, you don't get to change it until it is you who reveals it. So no changing maneuver in systems phase. There are things that specify "reveal" your dial and "flip" dial... that is a difference... Most of the time you "reveal" while your opponent "flips" your dial... but even if he revealed dial... Hera still specifies " After you reveal " .. you like YOU the player have to reveal the dial. With Snoke/Informant your opponent does it so YOU don't have a dial to reveal as it already is. Hera specifies after "you" "reveal", while your opponent "flips"... even if Snoke revealed, the condition is that you have to reveal it. As I read it... Special Forces Gunner worth it? UndeadCrusader replied to Ronu's topic in X-WingWorks, it is still a primary attack, so he gets to roll his additional die. Force Charges UndeadCrusader replied to RedLeader23's topic in X-WingYou recharge one per round. Even if you have more crew members with force. You recharge just one per ship. Inferno Squad Experience? UndeadCrusader replied to SDCC's topic in X-WingI tried Gideon and Del with Kestal, Rhymmer and Vynder. They are still tie fighters and die too easily. Even if you have Iden, I don't think it's worth it, you pay 40 to survive one more shot and your 2 dice attack does not do that much. I would just sink points into other ships. Well Delta-7 2/3/3/1 Delta-7b 3/2/3/3 in lore, 7b is different in astromech placing, allowing full-size instead of integrated. It was bigger and thicker than standard D7. I expected to have 2 models, but it having similar role, same pilots and everything would be pointless to have. 7B should have more hull not shields but there things were together with Eta-2 custom to the needs of a Jedi, some had more weapons, others had more shields, hyperdrive. You had the chassis and made it whatever you wanted it to do. Afterburners, shield upgrade... this ship is more likely to have any upgrade in contrary to like imperial ships which were all made the same and almost no mods in them. Oh, I mistook that for Calibrated Laser Targeting the config+mod for Delta-7, my bad. There is small chance it would get 2, but atlas we know it has 1 mod. that can work well too.

Authors & Events Look Inside Mar 07, 2017 Buy from Other Retailers: Mar 07, 2017 | ISBN 9781607749806 A guided journal based on Rachel Ignotofsky's New York Times bestselling book Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World.Full of writing, drawing, and creativity prompts, I Love Science inspires kids (and adults) of all ages to fill the pages with ideas, self-exploration, and big dreams for the future. Opening with a short reference section that contains basic equations, the periodic table, basic HTML codes, and a measurement converter, the journal then invites the user to write and dream through writing prompts like, "What is a challenge you've overcome recently?" The journal also includes inspirational quotes from notable women who've achieved greatness in the science, technology, mathematics, and engineering (STEM) fields, such as famous primatologist Jane Goodall's, "Only when our clever brain and our human heart work together can we reach our full potential."With illustrations, quotes, and nifty science infographics, this journal will encourage you to ponder the world through tinkering, discovering, doodling, and more! RACHEL IGNOTOFSKY is a New York Times-bestselling author, illustrator, designer. She graduated from Tyler School of Art's graphic design program and formerly worked as a senior designer and illustrator at Hallmark Greetings.

Kids will love paging through this, looking at all the detailed drawings, but they'll likely have to rip it out of the hands of the adults who are marveling at each new page of factoids." – Sarah Mirk, Bitch Media "The book is a beautifully curated collection of personal narratives from female scientists from a wide variety of backgrounds and disciplines, with a dash of whimsy thrown in." – Upworthy "I applaud Ignotofsky and her publisher for telling these important stories about women through such a rich, visual medium.

For years people have been telling me that family, love and happiness are the important things in life…These days I realise that I'm able to take or leave all that as long as I have this headphone in the world. When you focus on a subject in the real world Neurocase Headset realize your interest and triggers the recording. Although we have seen many gadgets and headsets projects designed to interact with the human brain, none was so well interconnected with an iPhone. Neurocase Headset is a project located in a fairly advanced stage of development that comes from Japan and, in addition to a series of advanced sensors also includes a camera. Neurocase Headset features As functionality, the network behind Neurocase Headset seems pretty simple. Basically, continuously monitors your brain waves, so that, when their feeling intensified the camera records a video of five seconds to what there is in front of your eyes. Assuming that only external stimulus may increase activity in the brain, the idea seems pretty interesting. Only to be careful for your loved ones not to see those records where the interest will almost exclusively be driven by various ladies. Neurocase Headset 2 Neurocase Headset Record Your Memories On iPhone Catch your daydreams Although I would have liked a more discreet camera than the image above, in my view, the idea is sensational. Given that often we do not realize what arouses interest, at the end of the day would be an interesting experience to see the bits of interest from around the world. Obviously, if you see fit, video clips can be shared on social networks.

A father-of-three who raped two sleeping woman has been jailed for six years. Graham Ross preyed on the pair at separate properties in Old Kilpatrick, West Dunbartonshire. The 38-year-old raped the first woman on various occasions between December 2013 and February 2017. He then attacked the second woman on April 22, 2017. Ross, of Port Glasgow, Inverclyde, lowered each of the victims' lower clothing before committing the crime. Both of the women were drunk and incapable of giving or withholding consent at the time. Ross was found guilty after a trial at the High Court in Glasgow to raping both women. Judge Tom Hughes put Ross under supervision for two years upon his release from prison. The judge said: "These are very serious matters, which had a considerable effect on both victims in this case. "I read a victim impact statement which states that these offences have left both with catastrophic consequences, which will be lifelong. "The circumstances are quite clear in this case and custody is inevitable because of the gravity of the crimes committed – it is the only appropriate disposal." Ross was put on the sex offenders register for an indefinite period. Frances Connor, defending, earlier told the sentencing: "Although his background report makes it clear that he doesn't accept the verdict, he does identify that being a victim of rape would be a traumatic experience for the victims."

I had been perusing the internet the last couple of months. - I was looking for information on a new HVAC system. My husband and I had been talking about getting a new HVAC system, but it had to wait until this one no longer worked. We weren't going to get rid of a working furnace or air conditioning unit, but once one of them quit working well, we were getting the entire HVAC system. During my perusal, I visited many HVAC websites. I was comparing prices, expertise of HVAC technicians, and mostly, their customer reviews. I was sure the bad reviews wouldn't be there, but I was still looking. I came across some interesting areas on a website. They were talking about HVAC for homeowners. I called my husband into the study and showed him the page. I was reading some of the information to him, and it was telling you how to do many things on your own. The most important thing I read was how to make a diagnosis when something happens to your HVAC equipment. It gave you easy ways to figure out what could be wrong, so you can give a better description of what was happening, and give that info to your HVAC technician. The final sentence was; when you know what is wrong, don't be afraid to tell the HVAC technician. We bookmarked that page. When something happened to the HVAC technician, we wanted the ability to tell the HVAC technician what was wrong with the HVAC. If we were wrong, that's fine, but it gives the HVAC technician somewhere to start.

|Property type |Minimum Stay |2 nights This is a unique home. It has many great features including a full dining room for entertaining, a media room with a 58' Panasonic Plasma TV, blue ray DVD player, hundreds of DVD's, satellite system, high speed wireless internet, hot tub, steam shower, table tennis, 7'Steinway Grand Piano and a treadmill for light workouts. We had a wonderful time in the property. Is located 20 minutes by trolley from the center and 15-20 Canadian dollars taxi trip. Away from the center a big advantage. Very nice setup with comfortable rooms and backyard. Be aware there are 3 floors, but a little exercise didn't kill anybody. Great Chinese restaurant in the corner, recommended. Primary school next door but we didn't hear anything. Tim was helpful with the checking in and checkout. We will certainly use it again. BTW the DVD collection is impressive. We used the BBQ grill and the Jacuzzi. Our family of four (kids are 9 and 11) absolutely loved our stay in this home. Tim was a fantastic host and the house is very well set up. We felt very much at-home; the kids loved the ping pong table and the giant tv. The location is excellent for getting around and we loved having a little driveway. No street parking this trip! We'll be back. Our host, Tim, was so friendly and accommodating that we felt like we were being welcomed by family. The home is clean, nicely furnished, and perfectly renovated. The location is quiet and ideally suited for a small family or two couples. We wish we could have stayed longer, but we will use this property again. I would recommend this rental home to anyone looking for the comforts of home while exploring Vancouver. We enjoyed the lovely home. It exceeded our expectations. The neighborhood is quaint and quiet. Tim was more than helpful answering my questions. I highly recommend this property- great for a family. My husband and I recently stayed in this beautiful home. It was a cool design, very clean and well equipped. We were pleasantly surprised that it was even better than the description. We enjoyed the hot tub, steam shower, cooking, walking to nearby restaurants but especially how Tim went out of his way to make the booking/check-in/out process easy and to make our stay as comfortable as possible! We spent two nights in this gorgeous house last week and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a home away from home and more! The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook a meal including all kinds of spices, oils, and condiments. The back yard is so quiet and peaceful! We sat in the hot tub under the stars. The beds are very comfortable and the bedding, pillows and towels are in excellent condition. Tim, our host was so accommodating and gave us some great advice on exploring Vancouver. The house is in my favourite part of Vancouver, just steps away from Main Street where you will find great restaurants and antique, vintage, and designer boutiques. I will definitely stay there again. Thank you Tim!! The home is located in the heart of the Main Street shopping district. There are great vintage clothing stores, antique dealers, restaurants and grocery stores within a 5 minute walk from the front door. It is also 5 minutes away from Queen Elizabeth Park, Nat Bailey Stadium as well as our brand new Hillcrest Community Centre (http://www.hillcrestcentre.ca/) which which was the home of the 2010 Olympic Curling Event. The Centre offers a swimming pool, ice rink, gymnasium, games room, fitness centre, multi-purpose room, dance studio and a preschool. These can be accessed for a small fee.

Crop Insurance: "Something's Gotta Give" Crop Insurance: "Something's Gotta Give" In a recently posted blog titled Something's Gotta Give, Marcia Zarley Taylor proves once again that she is one of the most cogent observers of crop insurance. Taylor is executive editor of the agriculture website DTN, and her post warns farmers that the once-sleepy crop insurance program is taking center stage as Congress starts over on the farm bill. She quickly explains why. Last year's drought is pushing crop insurance claims toward a record $15 billion – most of which will be shouldered by taxpayers. Over the years, the cost of crop insurance has steadily grown from $2.9 billion in fiscal year 2003 to $13.1 billion in FY 2012, according to USDA's Risk Management Agency. That exploding price tag is drawing lots of attention in a year when cutting government spending is at the top of Congress' agenda. Taxpayers pick up so much of a farmer's crop insurance premium that, Taylor writes, "U.S. farmers could be claiming $3.85 for every dollar they paid to insure their 2012 crops." And this can't just be dismissed as a result of the drought. Taylor cites estimates by Kansas State economist Art Barnaby that from 1988 to 2011 farmers got back $1.89 for every dollar of their premium payments. Most taxpayers can only dream of getting that kind of return from their auto or homeowners insurance; it doesn't happen. Finally, Taylor correctly points out that one reason for the record-breaking claims is USDA's highly subsidized and very popular Revenue Protection program. This type of insurance policy is so appealing because it's currently paying out at the drought-inflated crop price, not at the much lower price the crop was insured for last spring. The 2012 guaranteed corn price "jumped from $5.68 per bushel at planting to $7.50 per bushel at harvest," Taylor notes. Thanks to taxpayers, many farmers who lost their crop are likely to make more money from insurance than they would have earned if the drought hadn't struck – an outcome she pointed out in her earlier, and aptly titled, "Extreme Insurance" post. Something's Gotta Give should be required reading as round three of the farm bill reauthorization debate starts up this year. Taylor predicts changes to crop insurance will be on the table, such as reducing the share of premiums paid by taxpayers, increasing the deductibles on subsidized policies and "further reducing the margins going to agents and insurers" who sell, service and profit from the government program. I sincerely hope she is once again on the mark. Common-sense reform of crop insurance could create a fiscally responsible and sustainable safety net for farmers while upping much needed investments in conservation, nutrition and healthy food – all while cutting the deficit. That would be a farm bill that just might make it through Congress this time.

Online casino is a platform where real money can be played on casino games. It is a popular alternative to brick-and-mortar casinos as it is convenient, safe and secure. The best online casinos are licensed and regulated by the relevant gambling authorities. They also use encryption to protect players' personal information. Moreover, they vet their staff and test every game to ensure that they are fair. A good online casino will offer a wide range of games, including slots, blackjack, poker and roulette. They may even have live dealer tables where players can interact with real people. In addition, some online casinos offer loyalty bonuses for existing customers. These rewards can be in the form of free spins, bonus cash or even tournament tickets. The best online casinos will provide a variety of payment options to cater to all types of players. The best online casinos feature fast, secure deposits and withdrawals. They accept a wide range of digital payment methods, such as PayPal, Trustly and Revolut. They will also accept major credit and debit cards. They may also offer a mobile app so that players can play on the go. In addition, they will provide detailed instructions on how to play each game. The best online casinos will also provide a free trial so that users can try the games before they make a deposit. While casino online has become a popular option for many people, it is important to note that it is not without its risks. This is why it is important to gamble responsibly, which means setting limits on how much you can lose and sticking to them. Moreover, it is important to read reviews and recommendations of other players to find out which sites are trustworthy. The popularity of casino online has given rise to new types of gambling, such as poker and baccarat. These games are a great way to relax and have some fun. While it is not as fast-paced as video poker or blackjack, baccarat can be just as exciting. In fact, it has recently become a favorite amongst players in regulated US states. There are several different types of casino online games, but some of them are more popular than others. These include poker, baccarat, video poker and roulette. Poker is the most popular of these games because it is easy to learn and offers a large jackpot. Other popular casino online games are keno, lottery-style games and scratchcards. When choosing an online casino, look for one that has a license from your state's gaming authority. This will show that they are a legitimate and reputable business. The site should also have a secure SSL connection to protect your financial details. It should also have a reputation management team to handle complaints and concerns from players. In addition, it should display seals of legitimacy from regulators like eCOGRA and audited payout certifications from PriceWaterhouseCoopers. In addition, the online casino should have a customer support center to answer any questions you may have.

How To Choose The Best Multivitamin Today, supplements have mass appeal thanks to a growing body of clinical evidence showing that, along with a healthy diet and lifestyle, supplements can support vitality. As a result, a whopping 68 percent of American adults take them, according to a 2015 Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) survey. And no surprise, there are lots and lots of multivitamin-multimineral products in the marketplace. Every company must differentiate their product from the competition to win their share of the market, and the pressure to win that share is intense. Quality controls and clinical studies are expensive. All too often companies try to differentiate their multivitamin-multimineral products based on marketing hype and/or worthless ingredients that subtract money from your wallet without adding anything of value to your health. With so many claims and counter-claims in the marketplace, it has become nearly impossible for the average consumer to know which claims are true and which are false. Perhaps that is why I am so frequently asked for guidance on how to choose the best multivitamin. While some of the nitty-gritty I'm about to share may feel complex or overwhelming, rest assured in that we're in this together. I'm here to help you quiet the noise around this loud industry and equip you with knowledge so you can become an empowered and conscious consumer. Let's start with the 'don'ts' before we dive into the 'dos'… 5 things to avoid when navigating the supplement aisle: 1) Self-Diagnosis: I advise against the practice of self-diagnosis and self-prescription with single, high-potency vitamins. Blindly supplementing without professional help could easily upset or imbalance your body chemistry. 2) Imbalanced Formulations: One of the reasons many experts recommend that people get their vitamins and minerals from foods rather than from supplements is because many supplements are unbalanced. That's a problem because there are many cases in which too much of one nutrient can interfere with the absorption or metabolism of related nutrients. For example: • Zinc and copper compete for absorption. For best absorption and maximal utilization by the body, the zinc to copper ratio should be close to 1:1 based on DV. • B vitamins should be in balance. Look for a multivitamin-multimineral supplement that provides 100-200% of the DV for all 8 essential B vitamins. (The levels can be higher in a B Complex supplement, but they should still be in balance.) Some manufacturers will leave out the expensive B vitamins and load up on the cheap ones. This saves them money. It also allows them to use marketing terms like "mega" or "super". A supplement that provides 50% or less of the DV for some B vitamins and 1,000% or more of the DV for others is ridiculous. There is absolutely no rationale for a ratio like that except to cut costs and increase profit margins. 3) Don't Fall For Trends: Many companies choose profit over health by telling us what we want to hear instead of doing what's right. Trends are not based upon sound scientific and/or epidemiological evidence of human need and benefit. Trends are just a sales tactic for marketing hype. 4) Don't Fall For Scare Tactics: There is a lot of unfounded hysteria on the internet about product ingredients. Much of this has been fueled by a few well-known bloggers, when they become more concerned about the traffic to their site than the accuracy of the information they post. To achieve more readers, the bloggers begin vilifying ingredients that are perfectly safe as long as the manufacturer purifies them correctly and tests them for purity. These are ingredients which might be of concern for products made by a company with poor quality controls, but pose no concern for products made by a company with high quality control standards. In other words, they should not be spreading hysteria about the ingredient. They should be focusing on some of the real quality control issues in the industry. 5) Don't Fall For Buzz Words: Some manufacturers attempt to differentiate their products by claiming they are natural, organic, non-GMO, or are made from food. The companies are attaching buzz words to their product that they know resonate with their consumer audience, but have little relevance in the supplement world. For example: There is no standard for "natural" so companies are not required to provide any evidence to back up their claim. "Organic" certification for a supplement simply means that ingredients come from crops raised using organic methods. It is no guarantee of purity. Organically grown crops can still be contaminated if the air, soil or water is contaminated from any nearby pollution source. For example, ground water pollution is the major source of the heavy metal contamination often seen in rice-derived ingredients. It is far more important to select your supplement based on rigorous quality control standards that assure it is pure. 5 things to look for in a supplement / supplement manufacturer: When choosing a manufacturer, I confirm the safety and effectiveness of their products by researching the following: 1) Formulated with ingredients that have been extensively studied to confirm safety and efficacy, and is based on scientific and/or epidemiological evidence of need and benefit. 2) Tests for contaminants — including lead and heavy metals, pesticides, and more. Rather than solely relying on the Certificate of Analysis (a stamp of approval from the supplier of each raw ingredient that their ingredient passes the test of as GRAS - generally recognized as safe), the manufacturer double-checks for contaminants each batch of raw ingredients. *Recalls of multi-vitamins containing salmonella and e-coli have been increasingly reported in the past 9 months. In general, the FDA regulations for dietary supplements are different from those for prescription or over-the-counter drugs. Unlike drugs, which must be approved by the FDA before they can be marketed, dietary supplements do not require premarket review or approval by the FDA. While the supplement company is responsible for having evidence that their products are safe and the label claims are truthful and not misleading, they do not have to provide that evidence to the FDA before the product is marketed. The FDA generally responds after claims are reported. 3) Employs advanced delivery systems to enhance bioavailability and absorption—and these systems are tested to confirm their nutrient delivery advantages. Probiotics, for instance, are killed in the stomach acid, therefore need to be encapsulated to bypass that area of the GI tract and release in the lower intestines and colon where they live. Yet, I've seen innumerable formulations lack this delivery method, meaning those good bacteria are just being killed when they reach your stomach bile (which is acidic in order to kill bacteria!). 4) Conducts additional quality control testing on finished products outside of manufacturing tests on EVERY batch. Here is an excellent example of why this is so important: In Feb, 2015, New York's Attorney General demanded that GNC, Target, and Walgreen's stop selling herbal supplements that do not contain herbs. In March of 2015, GNC agreed to boost quality control and testing of herbal supplements. On Oct. 23, 2015, the Attorney General for Oregon brought suit against GNC alleging that it knowingly sold products containing an "amphetamine-like" substance not approved for diet pills in the U.S. 5) Ongoing proof of product performance demonstrated by scientific publications, peer-reviewed journals and other third-party research. Many companies make wild claims about their products but feel no need to back up their claims. If they claim their products are pure, ask how many quality control tests they run on their products. If they claim their products work, ask for proof. Ask for clinical studies that have been done with people, not with animals, cell culture, or test tubes, that have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and that have been done with their product, not studies done with another product. In a virtually unregulated supplement industry, it's up to us to do our own research. I recommend consulting with a health practitioner who is well-versed in the supplement industry standards and research (not the clerk at the health food store) before taking any supplements.I recommend consulting with a health practitioner who is well-versed in the supplement industry standards and research (not the clerk at the health food store) before taking any supplements. Does all this have your head spinning? To be honest, it had my head spinning, too - even with three degrees in nutrition. I've researched the supplement industry from top to bottom and invested years of my professional career finding truth in today's marketplace.

"Life is a Rollercoaster" might have been a more obvious accompaniment to this post, however I'm not in favour of the directly obvious song choice. Suffice to say it's been a really up and down few weeks. But I am still here, mostly with a smile on my face. I still put one foot in front of the other and turn my face to the sun. It has been difficult physically, from a pain and symptoms point of view but also emotionally and not least from a finding my way through the Pembrokeshire palliative care system perspective. I had got used to finding my way through the Hertfordshire cancer centres. I didn't have to think about who I called or what department was open when or who I could ask stupid questions to or who when everything else failed, I knew would find a way to help me. To take nothing from my shift to Wales and the brilliant service I have been provided since I landed on their care system, it is taking me a while to figure out my way through it, which is hardly surprising. I have been asked a number of times whether I prefer the English or the Welsh system. Presumably this means specifically the systems I have become familiar with. Both are brilliant. I am more familiar with Hertfordshire simply because I spent 3 and a half years being treated there rather than Pembrokeshire which I am still finding my way around, and they are still getting to know me. Had I been given a choice I would never have felt unwell in June, had to be admitted and then never stood a chance of making it home. That lack of choice is not conducive to feeling brilliant. I have the hospital, the doctors, the palliative team, the hospice (in fact two), specialist nurses, district nurses and the list goes on. This is not something to complain about, and trust me I am not, but it's not always easy to know which is the correct port of call. There are pros and cons to both Herts and Pembs and in the end its not as simple as which I prefer, no such luxury of choice. The point is they have had to provide very different care at different times as the needs of my illness and situation has changed and deteriorated. I am impressed by the care I have seen, apart from the occasional breakdown, and am truly grateful. I have also been asked whether I would prefer to still be living at home in Hertfordshire. The answer is of course that I wish nothing had changed and that I was still able to live a healthy "normal" active life of a forty something. But I can't, and wishing for what I can't have is something that I try desperately hard not to do. I've always believed that giving yourself a satisfaction v. desire delta is the fastest possible route to misery. And so I simply don't do it. I am happy for what I have. In the past, if I'm not happy with what I have, then I change it, but now, I accept what I have to and move on. Whilst I would rather be on Life Plan A, I am not, so I am very grateful to be housed in a beautiful place with my family. My sister and parents look after me unbelievably well. My small neighbourhood community make me feel incredibly at home. From a treatment perspective, there has been quite a lot going on. Following the last drain, I had a couple of weeks respite where the pressure and swelling was considerably less. After that the fluid retained again. My breathlessness worsened considerably and my pain deteriorated. One speedy and uncomfortable visit to the GPs one afternoon I was given an given a higher dose of painkillers. And my lungs became a cause for concern. It turned out that my left lung had partially collapsed and wasn't serving the rest of me very well. There is not much to be done about this. There are ascites/fluid sacks sitting around my lungs and abdomen which makes it near on impossible to figure out what to do. But the lung is not worth it's own drain intervention and anyhow, the abdomen drain will reduce pressure on the lungs. I then started pushing for another abdominal drain. Sure enough I was invited in to the day unit the following week for another drain. First came a blood test to ensure platelets were high enough, which they were. So the drain was able to go ahead. The test showed that the hemogloblin was too low, and so I asked for a blood transfusion as well. In fact I had to beg for it because this was not considered necessary but I realised that the symptoms of the previous week were all related. So in the same day I had a drain of 8.5 litres, a unit of blood and was home by tea time. It was an incredibly efficient system and I was looked after unbelievably well. They were so kind and I was looked after on the unit magnificently. I cannot speak higher of the day unit. On the way to the hospital early that morning I really struggled to get in to the car. It was painful, traumatic, and difficult. I was breathless and we all found it something of a challenge. In fact when when we got home my Dad stated that we weren't doing that again. I thought he meant that he needed some time to get over it. But in fact he is true to his word and the next day started looking for options that would make my life easier. We discovered Wheelchair Access Vehicles that you can can drive a wheel chair in to the back of and sit comfortably in the back whilst you go for a journey. After a couple of phone calls we found a dealer in Weston Super Mare that had a vehicle in stock. Sure enough a week or so later, my sister and he headed off to collect the car – this is a 7 hour round journey. They returned with a vehicle I can actually walk in and then sit in in my wheel chair and then be wheeled out of. I've written before about my incredible family. This is utter proof, were it needed, that they are incredibly kind and generous people who right now are putting me before themselves. I could not be more grateful. The new car has allowed me to really change how I do things. I have been out and about on little trips and been to the beach far more that I might have previously. And we all know how much I love the beach. A couple of weeks later I ordered a mobility scooter which may be the best thing I ever purchased. I bought one that is entirely fun and I absolutely bloody love it. Again it means I can get out and about much easier and move around. I don't think I had realised how hard this had become. I can go up and down the street, even as far as the quay and the seaside and around the garden. It's super zoomy and brings me a whole heap of joy. I have had various visitors, including another long trip from my best girls. My Uncle and Aunt have been to visit as well as local pals. My sister's girlfriend has been to stay for a distanced visit and her beautiful dog made friends with Thomas of Goswell. It was so great to see them all. I'm really worried the covid distanced visits will have to come to a halt some time soon. In the last few minutes I have opened another parcel that left me in floods of tears. I can not get over people's kindness and generosity. It floors me when what are sometimes complete strangers show their support. Slowly but surely the ascites are worsening, nausea/vomiting and pain are increasing. I have long stopped caring too much about how much I look, but I do look a bit like I'm gestating a teenage elephant. As well as increasing medication I am booked in to have a permanent drain fitted to my abdomen next week. It has taken me an inordinate amount of time to write this blog. I think my concentration is deteriorating as well as my need to sleep increasing. I hope you can bear with me if I start not to make too much sense from this point forward. Is it time to start talking about Autumn and are the winds of change starting to blow? If it's OK I'm going to hang on to summer for a tiny bit longer. Sending love. Feel your boobs and bits. Big love, AG xx This is a great song and I recommend you have a listen to the artist if you can x When everything's wrong When I can't find my song When darkness is all I see There is a remedyIt's all the little things that make the world go 'round It's all the little things that almost powerful There's no politician, no sky too dark No one, no one can take the love from my heartThe sun gonna shine And in this heart of mine The sun gonna shine And in this heart of mine The sun gonna shine, ooh, ooh, it's true 'Cause I can always be gratefulWhen the loudest sound Is your own life crashing down And when your friends, when your friends, they don't come around There's one true thing I've foundIt's all the little things, the bells that ring The green, green grass and the birds that sing I'm gonna choose the bright side to see And no one, no one, no one can…

Net Loss Widens For eLong.com's Chinese Internet Travel Business Chinese Internet travel website eLong.com reported its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008 and says net loss from continuing operations worsened year-on-year by RMB31.7 million to RMB32.6 million, driven primarily by a RMB28.3 million increase in unrealized foreign exchange losses and a RMB4.1 million decrease in interest income compared to the prior year quarter, caused by the appreciation of the Renminbi and lower U.S. interest rates. The company's total gross revenues increased 25% year-on-year to RMB81.4 million and net revenues increased 24% year-on-year to RMB76.7 million. "While we are pleased with the 24% year-on-year net revenue growth that we achieved in the first quarter, there is more work to be done," said CEO Guangfu Cui in a statement. "Going forward, we will continue to focus on building a strong team, improving customer experience through the website and call center, and building a strong eLong brand via effective marketing programs." Hotel commissions for the first quarter of 2008 increased 17% year-on-year primarily due to higher room volume. Room nights booked through eLong increased 16% to 875,000, while commission per room night was RMB0.8 higher than the prior year quarter, at RMB65.4. Air ticketing commissions for the first quarter of 2008 increased 63% year-on-year, driven by a 31% increase in air segments to 428,000, and an increase of 75 basis points in the average percent commission to 5.5% or RMB46 per air ticket. The quarter also benefited from a higher average ticket price, which increased 7.3% year-on-year, to RMB828. Gross margin in the first quarter was 69% compared to 71% in the prior year period driven by the growth of lower margin air revenues. Total operating expenses increased 15% for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007. Operating expenses were 74% of net revenues decreasing by 5 percentage points compared to the first quarter of the prior year. eLong expects net revenues for the second quarter of 2008 to be within the range of RMB79 million to RMB88 million, an increase of 6% to 18% from the second quarter of 2007.

Flexible packaging has become a favorite of food processing businesses not just in the United States but also internationally. Its convenience and light weight are the main reasons why both huge national brands and smaller private companies are opting for flexible packaging for all types of food products, ranging from ready-to-drink cocktails to fruit chips. One of the brands that has embraced flexible packaging is California-based manufacturer Sunsweet Growers Inc., which included the shift to pouches as part of a bigger visual redesign. The company stopped using paper labels and introduced a full-body shrink label for its juice bottles. At the same time, it changed its graphics on the full range of packaging to ensure the brand has a modern look, Food Processing says. The new packaging aims to reflect the contemporary and healthy products that the company offers to health-conscious and demanding consumers, commented Ian McLean, founder and creative director at McLean Design Inc., the company that designed the new graphics. The pouches are resealable and have excellent barrier properties, which ensure protection against product spoilage. RELATED: Coca Cola launches project to develop fully plant-based bottle Because of its high quality, flexible packaging is becoming top choice for many businesses, not just Sunsweet. In fact, packaging is gradually turning into a key brand differentiator. One example is Bolthouse Farms, which created a unique pouch for its product Baby Carrot ShakeDowns — fresh carrots with seasoning added. The bag is divided into two sections, with the carrots placed in the big compartment and the seasoning in the smaller one. When consumers want to use the product, they need to pinch the bag and pull the sides of the package to break the inner barrier that separates the two sections and shake the bag to spread the seasoning evenly. By keeping the two ingredients apart, the qualities of the two products are kept in optimal condition, the company says. Pouches are becoming increasingly popular for liquid content, too. British supermarket giant Tesco is offering its Tesco Finest heat-and-serve soups, which were previously sold in cans, in stand-up pouches. Tesco also achieved a technical breakthrough with its pouch, because it is printed with an innovative high-definition flexography. It not only provides high quality of graphic but is also cost-effective as the number of different items in the product line grows. The new packaging allows consumers to see exactly what they are buying, through a clear bottom gusset. RELATED: Packaging industry key for dealing with food waste Ready-to-drink cocktail manufacturers have also started to use pouches and they are becoming an increasingly common sight on shelves across the U.S. According to Lisa Coker, chief marketing officer at American Beverage Corp., the uptake of pouches has been very fast over the past couple of years. The company was the first to offer frozen pouch cocktails with its Daily's Cocktails brand in 2005. Recently, it has added two limited products alongside its seven standard flavors. These are Daily's Spiced Sangria and Daily's Hard Cider, which may be served frozen, chilled or warm.

He appears in Scripture adorned in a coat of many colors (Genesis 37:3). It is as though his adorning is intended to attract our attention. What is it about him, however, that calls for special consideration? As the fourth main character of the book of Genesis, Joseph has more chapters devoted to him than any of the other patriarchs, including Abraham. In fact, more chapters are devoted to Joseph than to the creation, the fall, the flood and the Tower of Babel combined. One cannot help but ask, "Why should Joseph be given such prominence in the Scripture?" A possible answer to both of the above questions is the fact that Joseph serves as the quintessential type-of-Christ. There is no greater type-of-Christ in all of the Bible. As the prince of preachers, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, once said, "Joseph is the preeminent type-of-Christ…Indeed…there is scarcely a stroke [of his story]…which has not its symbolic meaning…you could read the [story] of Joseph through twenty times, and [still] not [be able] to exhaust the type." Like Christ, Joseph was: ❶ the beloved son of his father ❷ rejected by his brethren ❸ betrayed for silver ❹ humbled as a servant ❺ exalted as prince over all the kingdom, and ❻ ended up as a savior to the whole world, including to his own people. He was even given a name, just like the virgin born Son of Mary, which meant "Savior" (Genesis 41:43; Matthew 1:21). Still, there is another possible explanation for this richly ornamented biblical character. Whereas Joseph's forefathers had all struggled with the truth, he was the first in that lineage to take a courageous and uncompromising stand for it, in spite of the consequences to himself. Abraham, the progenitor of Joseph's lineage, had been guilty of a couple of half-truths told to potentates whom he feared might murder him in order to marry his beautiful wife Sarah (Genesis 12:10-20; 20:1-18). Likewise, Abraham's son, Isaac, had continued the family tradition when he told a whole lie, not a half-truth, to the Philistines about his beautiful wife Rebekah being his sister (Genesis 26:6-11). Then, adding insult to injury, Joseph's father, Jacob, had lied to Joseph's grandfather, Issac, in order to steal the blessing of Joseph's uncle, Esau (Genesis 27:1-41). All in all, it amounted to a long line of cowardice perpetrated by ancestors unwilling to trust God with the consequences of taking courageous stands for the truth. This line of cowardice was finally broken when Joseph courageously stood for the truth. In spite of the dire consequences and tremendous cost to himself—❶ he was betrayed by his brothers ❷ thrown into a pit ❸ sold into slavery ❹ falsely accused by his master's wife, and ❺ sentenced to prison—Joseph refused to compromise his stand for God. He fearlessly stood on his faith in God while his whole world appeared to be continuously falling apart. In the end, his faith won out and all of his dreams came true (Genesis 37:5-11; 42:6-9). What others meant for evil, God meant for good (Genesis 50:20). Joseph's life, thanks to the sovereignty of God, had a storybook ending, despite all the nightmarish steps that had to be taken to get there. To find one so richly ornamented in Christlikeness and clad in the colorful coat of courage is a rare find indeed. Though the cowardice of half-truths and whole lies is common, those with the courage to stand for the truth and trust God with the consequences are few and far between. Still, it is these rare and courageous souls who color Christianity in van Gogh fashion!

I do have to admit I feel more stable now that I am home. But sometimes I am just so overwhelmed by anger I can hardly breathe. Mostly about the medications I am on and the side effects I am experiencing from them. The thought to go off my medications crosses my mind several times a day. But I know that going off my medications abruptly would only bring more problems. I know if I were to attempt to taper my medications again (with the help of a medical professional, of course), I would have to make major modifications to my lifestyle. And what about sustainability? Is it even possible for a person with a mood disorder to live medication free (or at the very least at low dosages)? I hate my stable but blunted moods. I hate how hungry I am and how it seems like I can't stop eating. I even crave different and unhealthier foods. I sometimes can't even look at pictures of myself without grimacing because of how much weight I have gained. I dislike people asking about why my left hand moves so much (from the tardive dyskinesia). The thing that bothers me most about medications is the fact that my symptoms are still there, sometimes in full throttle. And then the additional coping I have to do with the side effects. Instead of feeling empowered by medications, instead of feeling like I have a greater grasp on my emotions, I feel dependent, discouraged, disappointed.

Trainer David Pfeiffer has confirmed that in-form mare Cradle Me will have her next race start in the 2015 Canterbury Classic following her impressive victory in the Razor Sharp Handicap. Cradle Me started her summer campaign with a flat fifth in the Listed Starlight Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill Gardens on November 28, but she produced some outstanding closing sectionals to come from the tail of the field and record an upset win in the Listed Razor Sharp Handicap (1200m) at Royal Randwick on December 12. Pfeiffer told Sky Racing HQ that he did not expect Cradle Me to return to winning form in the Razor Sharp Handicap, but he said he was thrilled that the Easy Rocking mare is back to her best ahead of her major goal this preparation. "It was a very exciting win and it gives you goose bumps when you think about it," Pfeiffer said. "She was still last at the 250, 300 metre mark – a horse can do that going through their grades, but when they get to stakes level it is pretty inspirational. "She has been going well, but when you have barrier 16 at Randwick and you know you will be getting back to last then you sort of write them off and hope that they just run a good solid race. "It was a good surprise to have, but it is very hard to have confidence when you are drawing the car park." Pfeiffer confirmed that Cradle Me will have the opportunity to add another black-type race win to her resume when she contests the Listed Canterbury Classic (1200m), but he said that her entire summer campaign has been planned around a tilt at the $1 million Magic Millions Fillies & Mares Handicap at the Gold Coast on January 9. "The whole preparation has been aimed towards the Fillies & Mares Magic Millions race on the 9th of January," Pfeiffer said. "From here we are headed to the Canterbury Classic at Randwick on Boxing Day and then we will head to the Gold Coast for that race over 1300 metres." Cradle Me was purchased at the 2010 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale for just $3000, but this will be the first time that she has returned to the Gold Coast for the Magic Millions Meeting. She has now recorded nine race wins from her 42 race starts and accumulated just under $500,000 in prizemoney for connections.

In another exciting Farmer's Inside Track podcast episode, Angus McIntosh, regenerative farmer and one of the Mzansi's few grass-fed, pasture-reared beef producers, joins Food For Mzansi co-founder, Kobus Louwrens and editor Dawn Noemdoe this week. Also known as "Farmer Angus", McIntosh applies biodynamic and regenerative farming principles and practices in the rearing of all the animals on his on 126-hectare farm in Stellenbosch in the Western Cape. He believes regenerative organic agriculture is the only system that can produce nutrient dense food and reverse the "damage" caused by conventional agriculture. His beef burgers are the first burgers sold anywhere in the world using 100% compostable packaging and in 2013 he became the first person globally to sell carbon credits for increasing the carbon contents of the pastures where his cattle graze. In the podcast, McIntosh talks about the nutritional content of food that he believes has been in decline for hundreds of years. "It's because of the way we farm. We've destroyed our soil, which holds all the nutrients." He strives to recover a virtuous cascade from the ground up: healthy soil makes "healthy plants, healthy animals, healthy humans, and a healthy society". The farmer makes no bones about his belief that through regenerative agriculture many of the world's food and health problems can be addressed. He is also frank about why he believes that the current farming system is making humans sick, while at the same time polluting the environment. "We are polluting the earth and killing human beings with what is being produced from the conventional agricultural system, but everyone is saying that's what we need more of. It's madness," he exclaims. - Would you like to feature on the Farmer's Inside Track podcasts and videos series?

Capital Allocation and Delegation of Decision-Making Authority within FirmsJohn R. GrahamDuke University; NBER Campbell R. HarveyDuke University - Fuqua School of Business; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Manju PuriDuke University - Fuqua School of Business; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) April 12, 2013 Abstract: How are decision-making authority and investment dollars delegated within firms? We study these issues using a quantitative measure of delegation derived by directly asking top executives how high-level decisions are made within their firms. Our survey of more than 1,000 Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers allows us to investigate how personal characteristics of the CEO, as well as unique firm characteristics, affect delegation. We find that CEOs are less likely to delegate decisions that are external to the firm (such as mergers) and about which the CEO is knowledgeable. We find that CEOs are more likely to delegate decision authority when the firm is complex. In terms of the internal allocation of capital, we find that companies allocate funds across divisions based on the reputation of the divisional manager, the timing of a project's cash flows, senior management's 'gut feel', and the net present value rule. Corporate politics and corporate socialism affect allocation outside of the U.S. Number of Pages in PDF File: 53 Keywords: Delegation, CEOs, executives, capital structure, mergers and acquisitions, payout, corporate investment, capital allocation JEL Classification: L20, L22, G30 working papers seriesDate posted: March 17, 2010 ; Last revised: July 5, 2013Suggested CitationContact Information © 2013 Social Science Electronic Publishing, Inc.

Table of Contents In this article, we'll talk about two different types of learning that are often confused with each other: blended learning and hybrid learning. Blended learning Blended learning is a combination of traditional classroom learning and online learning. The blended approach combines the best of both worlds: it allows you to customize your instruction and use technology in ways that fit your teaching model. Blended learning can be more cost-effective than online learning alone because it uses technology to cut down on costs associated with travel, facilities, equipment, and supplies. In addition, it helps teachers save time by reducing administrative tasks such as lesson planning or grading tests. This makes them available for more important tasks such as working directly with students one-on-one or in small groups during class periods. Hybrid learning While blended learning is a combination of online and face-to-face learning, hybrid learning can be used in various ways. It's the perfect solution for students who want to learn at their own pace and with a flexible schedule. Hybrid learning can be used to: Enhance the student experience by offering more opportunities for interaction with faculty or peers, making it easier for them to get help when they need it most. Improve student engagement by providing an engaging environment that encourages interactions between both teachers and students, which leads to improved retention rates among all participants involved (both instructors and learners). Hybrid learning is a more advanced version of blended learning. The main difference between the two is that hybrid learning uses both online and traditional teaching methods, while blended learning only uses one of them. It's more interactive than blended learning too, with more opportunities for students to practice and apply their skills in real-world situations. In addition to this, hybrid learning also allows you to use your own materials as well as take advantage of those provided by experts in the field — something that doesn't happen with blended systems alone (you have access only to what has already been created). The difference between blended and hybrid learning can be difficult to understand at first glance. However, once you understand the key differences between the two, it becomes clear that they both have their own strengths and weaknesses. Hybrid learning is still new to many teachers who are unfamiliar with its benefits. However, if you're looking for ways to incorporate blended learning into your classroom while still maintaining traditional methods of teaching such as reading out loud or writing on paper without the use of computers, then this type of online course may be just what you need here!

Investing in property is an exciting proposition, but it's important to do your homework before you start your search. Here are our top tips for ensuring your first property investment is a success. Consider why you are investing Firstly, consider your motivation for investing in property. Are you driven by capital growth, or are you motivated by cash flow? Exclusive suburbs may have a large potential for capital growth, but buying into them can be expensive. If your rental returns need to be higher than your outgoings, it may be worth considering more affordable areas. Use your head not your heart It is important to remember this property will not be your family home and put your emotions to one side when you begin your search. Take time to find out what you can afford. Talk to your lending institution or a mortgage broker about pre-approval for a loan and research ongoing costs such as insurance, rates, improvements and repairs. Look for lower maintenance properties. Be disciplined and only look at properties that fit your budget. Think about your ideal tenants As a landlord, it's vital to consider properties and suburbs that will appeal to your ideal demographic. Residential, single-family dwellings are popular with for first-time investors as they attract stable, longer-term tenants. Look for growth areas where there is a high demand for rental properties. The ideal property will be close to transport, schools, parks and shops. It's likely you won't find everything you are looking for, but make a list of your top criteria. Consider property management Many first-time investors make the mistake of thinking they can self-manage their portfolio. Engaging a property manager can, in fact, save you money in the long run, and will certainly save you stress. Experienced property managers will ensure your property is rented consistently and potential tenants will be given a thorough background check. The property management team will also provide a rental appraisal to ensure your property is rented at the correct level, and provide ongoing inspections to ensure it is being looked after. Any ongoing maintenance issues are also handled by the property manager. Noel Jones has an experienced property management team that can free you up to spend more time finding new investments and adding to your successful property portfolio.

Elena Nikolova Good Friday my lovely music fans! I hope your week went fine and now you are ready for the weekend! This week I will surprise you with two new songs, both of which are special in their own ways. The first one is We don't care by Akon and the second one – Remember my name by Fame. About Akon there is pretty much nothing to say, because just by saying his name, people know what you mean – hit song! The second song is a great rap remake of Fame and actually the premiere of the new version of the film in Greece is on October 1! This week I'm going to start from the bottom of the chart and hopefully create some exciting feeling about who is number one. The fact that you can go directly to the chart and see the first position, is another thing but please bear with me. So, number 13 in GRR HOT 15 this week is Souja Boy Tell 'Em ft Sammie with their song Kiss me thru the phone. The hit fell with five positions and I'm afraid it will not be with us next week. But after all this is not bad news because the song was present in the chart for quite some time. Number twelve is the newcomer Greek lady in the chart from last week. Very good first week for Exo Vges and Rallia Hristidou. I am glad that you appreciated the song and liked it. The second newcomer from last week, Jay Z ft Rihanna & Kannie West also made a huge jump. Run this town made a 3 positions climb and temporarily stopped on number 11. I am saying "temporarily", because such combination of singers and such a hit will not sweep the bottom of the chart for long! Lady Gaga disappointed me with her song Paparazzi. It did not make it all the way to the top and Gaga could not compete with the other ladies. Maybe the reason is because we are used to seeing her giving everything from herself on stage and in this song she is a bit reserved. This week Paparazzi fell with four positions and is not on number 10. The Greek charmer Kostas Martakis keeps climbing slowly. This week his song Pio Konta went up with only one position and stopped at number 9. I guess the fight is too fierce for the TOP 5 and the male candidates are stepping aside to see, which lady will win… Number eight is Sexy Bitch by David Guetta and Akon. Here's Akon again! And yes, this song is also a success, because it climbed with three positions since last week and because all radio stations are playing it non-stop! Number seven is I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas. Up and down, up and down and this week the song is going up again – with three positions none the less! The second Greek boy in GRR HOT 15 is Sakis Rouvas with his song Pio Dinata is number six after a one position climb. Now we are entering the TOP 5 and it's getting hot! Nevena ft Slavi with their song Jestoka is at the bottom – number five after a one position fall. The song received many of your votes but unfortunately not all five ladies can be number one at the same time… Madonna stepped aside from the TOP 3 and her song Celebration fell with two positions. I have the feeling that Madonna will not give up that easy but let us wait and see. Number three this week is Britney Spears with her song Radar. Surprisingly she managed to keep her position from last week and this means a lot because I am sure she will attack next week! A three positions jump brought Shakira and her song She Wolf to number 2 in the chart. Is she the number one candidate for next week or will she give the place to Britney or to Madonna? Hm-hm we will see! And finally we come to number one! And this is Despina Vandi with her song Iparhi Zoi. The song has been in the chart for quite a while and this is no surprise because it's a great hit! The song becoming such a hit can be thanks to Vandi's summer tour, which ends tonight in Athens, where she will be joined on stage by the great Greek rapper NiVo!

ENGLAND tossed away a dream start with another demoralising Ashes performance on day one of the Fifth Test. From 12-3, Australia were somehow allowed to reach 241-6 when rain curtailed play. Talk about letting a team off the hook. It proved to be another difficult day for England captain RootCredit: AP Labuschagne was bowled by Broad after getting his feet muddled and falling over at the creaseCredit: Getty England's bowlers were ultimately left frustrated on the first day of the Fifth TestCredit: Getty Aussie left-hander Travis Head scored a brilliant and rapid century but England frequently looked flat in the field and devoid of ideas. And quick bowler Ollie Robinson – whose poor fitness has caused murmurs of discontent in the England camp – broke down after the first over after lunch. Mark Wood was battered to the tune of almost seven runs an over and Chris Woakes extended his miserable record overseas with figures of 1-50, Head's innings was a masterpiece of counter-attacking aggression while Marnus Labuschagne made 44 and all-rounder Cameron Green an excellent 74. But Labuschagne should have been out for nought. Second slip Zak Crawley dived in front of Joe Root at first slip and spilled an edge off Robinson. This all came as Australia's two most senior batsmen – David Warner and Steve Smith – both departed for ducks. Warner was caught at second slip by Crawley off Robinson from his 22nd ball without scoring. Usman Khawaja, opening the innings after scoring twin hundreds in the Fourth Test in Sydney, edged Stuart Broad and Root pocketed the catch at first slip. Then Smith edged Robinson and Crawley held on. At this point, everything was going superbly for England. The early wickets appeared to justify Root's decision to bowl first on a pitch that was emerald green in colour. The sky was overcast and England, who made five changes from the team that held on for a draw in the Fourth Test in Sydney, might have felt they were playing an early-season county match in April. Robinson's first spell brought figures of 7-3-15-2. Impressive. Just a shame he couldn't back it up or even stay on the park. Perhaps we should have known. The dropping of Labuschagne was an ominous portent. He and Head turned the tide very quickly with a string of audacious shots. They reached a half-century stand for the fourth wicket from just 44 balls and Wood's first three overs went for an incredible 31 runs. Head frustrated England as he celebrated a brilliant centuryCredit: AP The rain brought a premature end to the day's playCredit: Getty Head missed the Fourth Test after contracting Covid – in fact, he has been the only player on either side to test positive during the series. He was none the worse, either, and he tore into England's bowlers. Stroke after stroke was sent scudding across the outfield. Labuschagne was bowled by Broad for 44, a freakish dismissal as he walked across his stumps and fell flat on his face and was bowled behind his legs. It was a straight ball that crashed into middle stump. Robinson then left the field with what was officially described as "lower back stiffness." Australia plundered 130-1 from 28 overs in the middle session as England wilted in the face of Head's strokeplay. Green has contributed with bat, ball and in the field in this series and his presence at No.6 adds real balance to Australia's team. Head reached his century from just 112 balls but was out next ball when a leading edge popped up to mid-on. Green then pulled Wood in the air to deep square leg, where Crawley held the catch. Play was halted by what was described as rain – but, the truth is, barely a drop fell. As usual, the fourth umpire out in the middle was the only person in the ground with an umbrella up. Spectators were robbed of a decent chunk of action.

Visits Overview Empowering clients through technology. VISITS is an Australian based Managed Service Provider that focuses on empowering its clients through technology. They have a clear passion for client success and have built a business model founded on long-lasting client relationships. VISITS has approximately 60 staff across Melbourne, regional Victoria, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane with clients ranging from 25 employees to several thousand. The Australian based Managed Service Provider delivers services across most verticals including manufacturing, education, professional services and community-based organisations. We interviewed Luke Johnson, Product Manager at VISITS to understand the benefits of deploying and partnering with Access4. Luke is responsible for the product and pre-sales teams and is tasked with ultimately ensuring that products and services align and continually adapt to the needs of both new and existing customers. VISITS has a number of engineering staff from level one service desk to level three and specialist engineers. Visits also comprises operations, procurement and administration functions that all underpin the sales and technical arms of the business. Bringing UCaaS confidence to customers from day one. With the increasing demand for unified communication technology like Microsoft Teams, VISITS decided to slowly include more Voice and Unified Comms related projects into their service offering, although it wasn't part of their traditional business model or expertise. Their initial approach was to build a Microsoft Teams Voice offering themselves that they could deploy and manage internally, which they did this for two years. With this, VISITS experienced several stability issues and as they grew, they couldn't effectively expand on their feature sets, especially when it came to larger UCaaS deployments. This ultimately led them to finding a replacement solution, which is where Access4 stepped in. Access4 enabled the VISITS team quickly so they could migrate their existing customers over and start selling new business as soon as possible. VISITS launched their Microsoft Teams Calling solution backed by Access4's SASBOSS™ platform and began bringing Access4 into their pre-sale's opportunities early. With this strategy, the two organisations were able to win an increasingly large number of deals because Access4 understood the VISITS brand and could represent them with confidence. VISITS was able to bring in the expertise of Access4 from the get-go, adding to their skillset and competitive advantage as a UCaaS provider of choice. "From day one, we've had a really strong partnership with Access4 and that's extremely important for us as UCaaS or Voice was never part of our core business. We started to slowly bring in more Voice related business on the side, mostly in response to the adaptation of Microsoft Teams being the primary collaboration tool for a number of businesses." Luke Johnson – Product Manager Scaled UCaaS offering & expanded Voice capability – with immediate results. VISITS was able to hit the ground running quickly and efficiently by signing up as a Platinum Partner under the Access4's Advantage Partner Program. They realised that the Access4 Partner Program was not your typical program, instead of offering basic sales and marketing training, Access4 provided detailed expertise and access to highly experienced personnel that made all the difference for the team at VISITS. Ultimately this has allowed VISITS to bring in new business that they previously could not, based on their extended Voice and cloud-based unified communications knowledge, with Access4 right by their side. The robust technical features and functionality of the SASBOSS™ platform meant that instead of sinking costs in attempting to evolve their internal Voice system, VISITS were able to enhance their solution offering backed by Access's intelligent platform and skillset. Luke Johnson shared, "With minimal investment we've been able to scale our offering and expand our Voice capability by leveraging Access4's team and SASBOSS™ platform. I think many vendor programs are often let down by their onboarding, or lack thereof. They often just tick the necessary boxes, which is usually some form of basic sales and technical training. I think this is where Access4 differentiate themselves really well, because they have a very structured and well thought out program, which allowed us to hit the ground running – very, very quickly." Huge savings and unlocked Monthly Recurring Revenue. Since moving to Access4, Visits have achieved increased efficiency and effectiveness across their professional services and operations team. They've been able to cut down their implementation effort with Access4's SASBOSS™ platform, and provisioning and support has been vastly simplified. Access4's solution and Partner Program benefits have not only assisted them in saving significantly on future resources, but it has dramatically improved customer experience regarding Cloud-based Voice projects and has helped Visits to unlock increased MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) as a result of the Access4 team's consistent support and field of expertise. "We've experienced a material resource saving across the board, but most importantly working with Access4 has led to a vastly better customer experience and the breadth of Access4's offering has unlocked MRR for us that was previously not possible with our experience level internally." Luke Johnson – Product Manager For VISITS, the biggest obstacle was the perceived mammoth task of migrating their customers over to Access4, there was a concern that the costs and complexity associated with transitioning to the Access4 platform could outweigh the benefit of deploying and implementing the SASBOSS™ platform. Luke Johnson shared, "We might be in a bit of a different situation than some of the other Australian MSP's who are just entering the market because we had a previous offering and were looking to migrate or lift and shift our customers over. The concern that we had was very quickly settled by the assistance that Access4 gave us throughout the entire process. The people and expertise within Access4 are a huge differentiating factor. They have several technical resources that are available to us at all times and throughout the entire on-boarding, pre-sales and sales delivery process. We also had a Partner Account Manager and Partner Success Manager, so with everyone together, any concerns were quickly removed and made us realise we made the right call." VISITS recommends Access4 to MSP's When asked if VISITS would recommend Access4 to other Australian and New Zealand based MSP's, he shared, "Yes, we would definitely recommend Access4 to Australian & New Zealand MSP's. Based on our market testing and research, when we were searching for a new UCaaS partner, Access4 had a very clear competitive edge compared to other UCaaS or Voice or Cloud-based Voice providers. It was immediately obvious that from a feature set perspective Access4 were miles apart, but also, they have a very strong partner program and sales acumen. Many other partners we were exploring have more of an engineering focus and less of a sales based-approach and we needed both."

A mass of contradictions NOV 05, 2012 3:26p ET A week ago there were positives and smiles after the Browns beat a woeful San Diego team on an afternoon when the Browns punted nine times. The week that followed was upbeat, with a tangible feeling that the Browns had a chance for that "definitive win" against Baltimore. Of course it didn't happen, and the Browns lost to Baltimore. Following that loss, there is questioning and lamenting that nothing was handled right, including the pregame introductions and postgame news conference. The question that must be asked: Is that simply the difference between winning and losing, or are there bigger issues at play? The Browns, after all, are the team that throws three times on third-and-1 and runs on third-and-11. A team that scores a touchdown that is called back by penalty, then decides to play for the field goal. A team that punts from the opponent's 41 on fourth-and-1 in one game, then goes for the first down on fourth-and-two from their 28 in another. A team that is 2-7 and has its coach touting "huge" improvement on special teams. The Browns are a team that has local fans screaming, but had two opponents muttering about the young talent and improvement they see in Cleveland. While Cleveland bashes, John Harbaugh praises, and says, "Write that Cleveland media." But no matter what is called or tried, it usually seems to blow up in the coach's face. The third-and-1 passes against the Ravens cry for second guessing, but the reality is that on the second one in Sunday's loss to Baltimore, the Browns had a touchdown called. But Brandon Weeden overthrew Chris Ogbonnaya, and officials made an odd interference call on Josh Gordon. Bad coaching? To have a touchdown on the board, but have it slip through because of a bad throw and a bad call? Pat Shurmur heard and read the entire week leading up to Baltimore's visit that the Browns had gone 2-for-7 on third-and-1 this season when running the ball. So he threw three times, made one, missed a touchdown on another and missed on the third. Later in the game he called another touchdown pass, noticed that Ogbonnaya had lined up wrong and yelled for him to back up. Ogbonnaya moved back, but a second late, which negated the touchdown. After which Shurmur played cautiously, running on third-and-11. "We were at the top of the field goal range," Shurmur said. "The field goal there puts us ahead 15-14. I did not want a holding call. I did not want a sack. I did not want anything crazy that knocked us out of that situation. At that point in the game, a field goal puts us ahead. That's why I made that call.." He also pointed out Trent Richardson scored on that run in Cincinnati. Which is OK. But it's safe to bet that Baltimore knew that as well. As for the now infamous fourth-and-2 from Cleveland's 28, Shurmur said he understood the questions, especially since he punted on fourth-and-1 from the Colts' 41 earlier in the season. He said he has no set philosophy on running or throwing on short-yardage, just that it has to be successful. "If the defense knows you're going to do one thing all the time, then the game gets very small," Shurmur said. Does he wish he'd done something different Sunday? "Give them a better play and make it," Shurmur said. He added: "I would consider doing something different if I can guarantee I'm going to get the ball back." Shurmur pointed out that Sunday night the Giants were down 24-20 to the Steelers and punted from their 13 with 3:07 left and never got the ball back. In his mind, the game was not over with the Browns down 10 because the Browns had a chance to cut it to three. Travis Benjamin was open for a touchdown down the sideline and Weeden threw a bad pass and was intercepted. That was one of several poor throws or decisions by Weeden, who had a rough game. Somebody proposed to Shurmur it was "a clunker" for the quarterback, and Shurmur said it was a good word. Shurmur said Weeden also could have been more courageous and aggressive near the goal-line on a couple throws. But Weeden is a rookie, and the Ravens had two weeks to prepare for the loss of their best corner. They threw a surprise at Weeden with a lot of zone when the Browns prepared for man. It showed. Rookies struggle, but the Browns believe in Weeden, and he's given them reason to. So you live with the off game. Shurmur wasn't hiding form the mistakes — including botching getting substitutions and play calls in one time — but stressed they need to be fixed. As he said: "We saw all the craziness." But he's also similar to the two opponents who pointedly stated the Browns are a young and improving team. He believes in what he sees. "I remember a year ago," Shurmur said, "we played the Baltimore Ravens here, and the score was close, but they beat the brakes off us." The key now is finding the brakes to put a stop to the craziness so improvement can equal a win. 0 Comments You may use your Facebook account to add a comment on FoxSports.com, subject to Facebook's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Terminal Bloom, Light This City's first album in a decade, boasts ten tracks that capture their tendency towards extreme melody and intensity, honoring the Swedish sounds of the '90s. Having spent the past decade performing and touring in numerous other bands, the five members of Light This City have only honed and shaped their skills and musicianship since their 2008-released Stormchaser. Terminal Bloom was recorded from December 2017 through February 2018 with Zack Ohren (Suffocation, Cattle Decapitation, Fallujah) at Castle Ultimate Studios in Oakland, California, as with their previous four albums, and is wrapped in the vibrant cover artwork of Tony Midi. Following several tours throughout the US and Canada, as well as their first tour of Mexico, and a recent tour of Japan, Light This City now confirms their maiden trip across the Atlantic. The band's European Bloom Part 1 trek will begin September 12th and run through Germany, Denmark, Holland, Austria, Italy, and Switzerland, coming to an end on September 21st. Watch for additional tour dates to be announced in the months ahead as the band continues to book new ventures. Drummer Ben Murray states:- "We couldn't be more excited to finally bring our thrash attack to Europe! This is just part 1 of our plan to tour Europe, as we'll be announcing another run early next year. If you live in one of these cities, we hope you make it out to one of the shows! It's been fifteen years since we began as a band, and we've wanted to get to Europe the whole time. See you in September!"

They are currently putting the finishing touches to the album with a plan to release worldwide via Sliptrick Records later in the year. Since 2014, Beyond Forgiveness have cultivated their signature symphonic metal sound through the composition of lush classical orchestras, choirs, and operatic vocals colliding with heavy and aggressive metal. In 2019, the band continues to push the boundaries of the symphonic metal genre with Live To Tell The Story, which follows their 2016 EP, The Ferryman's Shore, and their 2017 debut full length album, The Great Wall.

Following the November 2018 release of their debut EP (s/t), the band is looking forward to bringing their music to new audiences. Says bassist Weslie Negrón:- "We're extremely excited to be able to perform in the U.S. Mainland for the first time. Since we got featured as Album of the Day in Bandcamp, we've had people from the areas that we're playing give us great reactions to the EP -- and we can't wait to show people what the Puerto Rican metal scene is all about. There's a lot of talent in the Island, especially regarding metal, so we want to encourage people to keep digging on the bands that we got here." Tour Dates Moths is a stoner/progressive metal band from San Juan, Puerto Rico that blends powerful riffs with unexpected and increasingly progressive undertones. The band was founded in 2016 by Weslie Negrón (bass), Jonathan Miranda (lead guitar), and Omar González (rhythm guitar), with the later addition of Damaris Rodríguez (vocals) and Daniel Figueroa (drums). With influences ranging from Porcupine Tree to King Crimson, they have impressed their local metal scene with an uncommon style that's enjoyed by metalheads and non-metal fans alike. With Damaris' aggressive but melodic vocals, Omar's catchy riffs, Jonathan's unorthodox leads, Weslie's solid bass lines, and Daniel's extreme drumming, Moths create a perfect balance of heavy and cohesive music that impacts audiences on a whole new level. While the band was affected by Hurricane Maria, which devastated much of Puerto Rico in September 2017, they pushed through trying times to continue their craft. Their debut self-titled EP was released in November 2018 to international accolades, including being featured by bandcamp as an Album of the Day.

Ephemera and Funky Disco: Futurewife We're looking for a place to sit on the patio at the Olive Way Starbucks. Or, Gaybucks, as it's known to the locals. It's a warm, sunny Friday afternoon, one of those days that can easily make you forget what a Seattle winter can feel like. "Let's get one with an umbrella," Tighe suggests. "I'm a ginger," he adds, and chuckles. Futurewife is Tighe McGillivray. The 31 year old Seattle native is also a triple threat: DJ, producer, and recording artist. It's his DJing that first caught my attention, though. His sound is classic, and soulful, working disco beats, freshly digitized from the vinyl, into a groovy, sexy, frothy, mix that you just can't help but shake your ass to. I ask him how he started out. "I started producing on my computer back in the mid 90's, in middle school," admits Tighe. "I just did it in DOS. Me and Casewag, a good friend and someone I've been working with, we would just make horrible techno music. I went through seven or eight names and new projects, because it was all shit. It was awful." In college, Tighe transitioned his love for making and playing music into DJ gigs, spinning hip-hop on vinyl in Ellensburg. Hip-hop spoke to his roots, growing up on funk and soul as he did. But why disco, I wonder? "I come from funk," he says, "and that old soul sound, and disco is the transition from that. That's the bridge to house music. And I love house music. I went from funk and soul, to hip-hop, and then I really got into house music and disco. They go together so well. And, the resurgence right now, what with Random Access Memories and the Scandinavian disco scene.." Wait. What? Scandinavian disco scene? "Like Todd Terje and those guys, that space disco? The Glue? They're the best in the world right now," Tighe admonishes me. "I don't know how big they are in the clubs in Oslo and Denmark, but they command a high price over here and in Europe." Touché. Clearly this author is unschooled when it comes to new disco trends. I still like a lot of hip-hop, and I still think there's a lot of good hip-hop being made. But, as far as the scene goes, it's dead. It's over. It was a 90's thing. It reached it's peak, and it burned out quick." Tighe has a friendly, approachable demeanor that makes him very appealing. A consummate music geek, he talks about scenes and sounds with the excitement and verve of a hard core gamer bragging about his latest trophy conquest. So how did a skinny, straight, ginger kid go from DJing hip-hop parties in Central Washington to dropping sickening disco beats at the queerest parties in gay, gay Seattle? "I still like a lot of hip-hop," he confesses, "and I still think there's a lot of good hip-hop being made. But, as far as the scene goes, it's dead. It's over. It was a 90's thing. It reached it's peak, and it burned out quick." I'm a little taken about at this, as I think a lot of successful hip-hop artists and fans might disagree with that statement. "Hip-hop is an idea," he explains. "Hip-hop is a scene, and a culture. Hip-hop comes from this disenfranchised, underprivileged culture. You can still find great parties, and you can go to where those cultural centers are, like Harlem, Baltimore, and Atlanta, and you can find great hip-hop. But the widespread hip-hop enthusiasm is gone." And now we see Futurewife at frequent DJ gigs in queer Seattle locations like Pony, Q (before it was overrun with circuit queens), and the Eagle. "Five years ago, the only places where people would dance to disco were gay clubs," he says. "So I got started there. That's part of the Futurewife roots. I still maintain that best parties I've ever played have either been our warehouse, which happen four times a year, or gay clubs. "I appreciate the fact that I've been accepted into the queer scene in Seattle. I may play gay clubs, but it doesn't matter that I'm straight. They don't care. They're there for the music. They're there for the party. Tighe has a love for disco that borders on obsession. When I ask him who his favorites are, he eschews the names I would expect to hear in favor of some that are a little more esoteric and, clearly, based on a passion for funk. "I really like Chic. I think they're really great," he tells me. "I like The Brothers Johnson. They have a percussive, funky sound that really gets to me. I like Rick James a lot. I think Rick James is the sound that I really enjoy. "The early 80's disco is my favorite," he adds. "The earlier stuff, when it was just coming out, where it was less synthesizers and more of a studio band." I ask him how he sees today's disco scene. "I'm kind of in this circle of guys," he says, "like Cyclist [who recently made an appearance, along with Futurewife at Nark's Jack Fridays at the Eagle]; he does a great night in Toronto, at The Piston, with these guys called A Digital Needle. And they are only disco edits. They take disco and quantize it, and they make it beat matchable, essentially. "There's this whole circle of these guys, anyways, who only do that. Opolopo in Sweden. Dynamicron, [in Turkey] and Rayko, in Spain. They've built their entire careers off of just bringing these back and making them DJ friendly now. "Personally I like to get some house music in there, too," he adds. "I like to get something really banging in there." Which begs, the question, of course. What kinds of house music does Futurewife enjoy? "I like English house," he admits. "That whole scene is really my favorite, probably. Karma Kid. I really liked a lot of the stuff Disclosure was making. It's like that early 90's sound, with a really contemporary use of synthesizers, drum machines, and high production value. I think that's great. I like Azari & III from Toronto. They should've been around in 1992, because that's what their sound is like." It's apparent that we could probably sit here past the last of our iced coffees and talk music. And Tighe can name drop with the best of them. But I also had another question weighing heavily on my mind: where did the name Futurewife come from? "We were on a stag party in New Orleans for a good friend of mine. It was like a week and a half long stag party. I don't know if you've been to New Orleans..." Oh, yeah. I know those parties. Tighe tells me about a group of Canadian girls who were staying in the same hostel, and how his group had befriended theirs. He adds that, over the course of the week, he'd drunkenly fallen in love with one of the girls, and how he received the requisite ribbing about it from his buddies. "'Oh, how'd it go?' they asked me," he says, chuckling. "'Did you get any of that yet?' And I was all 'Don't you talk that way about my future wife.'" To which everyone exclaimed how awesome a band name that would be. And thus, from serendipity, the name was born. I think that culture right now, for DJs, is changing. I want people, if they come out to shows, to think 'I could hear stuff that's never been heard in a club before.' I want it to be a unique experience every time." Of course, Futurewife is more than just a DJ. He's released several EPs of his own music under a few different labels, ranging from French house to funk. One of his goals is to always include his own sounds in his performances; to make each performance special. "What I'm working on right now is more up tempo house," he tells me. "I really want to flush out my own live sets and DJ sets with my own house music that I can play. I like going out and playing something of my own, and having people come up to me and say 'what is this?'" And when he tells them that it's his own work, he can see how the look on their faces change. It's the recognition that they're not just listening to a DJ, but to an artist. "I didn't want to say that," he confesses, bashfully, "but yeah. I think that culture right now, for DJs, is changing. I want people, if they come out to shows, to think 'I could hear stuff that's never been heard in a club before.' I want it to be a unique experience every time." I ask Tighe if he has a girlfriend, and he admits that he's recently single after a years long relationship. I mention how that could be considered a fertile source for musical inspiration for him, but he claims that it's not something he's really inspired by. "Most of the music that I've ever composed and written," he claims, "is about fleeting experiences. I don't write lyrics, so it's based on feelings, these feelings I have from ephemeral experiences like love, sex, and other people. In L.A., or San Francisco, or Scotland, or Denmark, or wherever, I'll meet this person, and go 'God, you such a beautiful person.' Or I'll have these small Futurewife type scenarios..." He stops. "Oh, I never made that connection before. Interesting." And my work here is done, I exclaim, laughing. Like many other emerging artists, Tighe has managed to take small parts of his own personal experiences, from his love for funk and disco, to his fleeting romances on the road, and translate them into beautiful creations to share with the world. In his case, creations that make you want to shake your ass. When not at his day job, or in the DJ booth, you can find Tighe hard at work as a producer on his own label, PYT. Future plans for Futurewife may even include Mexican and European tours. In the near future, you can catch Futurewife, along with Casewag, at Train Car House Party's Future of Dance Music tomorrow night at the Oriental Express restaurant and lounge in Chinatown. It's free, and there's A/C. And great music, of course..

"Holy cow," she said. "Holy cow… I have to report it to my family immediately!" DC's Triana Downing said she was in shock. Should I log into my account to see if it really happened?" Downing expects her debt to drop from $16,000 to $6,000. But some high-debt borrowers remained disappointed, especially after a group of Democrats in the House and Senate called on Biden to cancel $50,000 in federal student debt. "It's hard to get excited," says Briana Ford of Columbia, South Carolina. She owes about $60,000 in her student loans. "I won't give it back, but it's hard to get excited about it. Republicans aren't too thrilled either. They have long opposed broad loan forgiveness. Rep. Virginia Fox of North Carolina, the top Republican on the House Education Committee, said, "This is a slap in the face of people who never went to college and borrowers who have supported accountability to taxpayers and paid off their loans." Stated. , in a statement Tuesday night. Many economists and higher-education experts also opposed the move, arguing that even widespread debt cancellation would not remedy rising college costs. A May analysis estimated that policies like the one Biden announced would cost at least $230 billion, and that even income limits would "mitigate the policy's core problems." but will do little," he warned. It is regressive, inflationary, costly, and likely to increase rather than reduce the cost of future higher education." Will it make inflation worse? Experts have expressed concern that broad student loan forgiveness will exacerbate inflation, which is already one of Biden's biggest political weaknesses heading into this fall's midterm elections. "Student loan debt relief is spending that drives demand and boosts inflation." murmured Earlier this week, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers. "It consumes resources that could be better used to help people who, for one reason or another, never had the chance to attend college. It also tends to cause inflation by raising tuition." Summers' objections sparked considerable dissent. "For loan forgiveness to boost inflation, it has to tell a pretty strange story about expectations." responded Susan Dynalski, an economist and professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, said: "No one has made student loan payments in the last two years. Forgiveness will not increase borrower cash flow so far. It happened when I was Borrowers have been waiting years for loan forgiveness The loan forgiveness announcement came more than two years after then-presidential candidate Joe Biden. promise to cancel At least $10,000 in federal student loans. Since then, the pledge has followed the administration. Wednesday's move comes after the student-loan moratorium has been extended several times and some Democrats have tried to extend forgiveness from the original plan to $50,000. A June NPR/Ipsos poll found that a majority of the general public (55%) supports forgiving individuals up to $10,000 in federal student loan debt. But the more generous the relief, the narrower the support. Forty-seven percent of all respondents said they supported forgiveness of up to $50,000 of debt, and 41% said they supported a complete wipeout of all borrower conditions. Not surprisingly, support for debt relief was higher among the borrowers themselves. But when asked to choose between debt forgiveness and dealing with high college costs, the vast majority of borrowers and non-borrowers alike chose to deal with rising college costs. said to be the most important.

The Essential Infant Care Checklist Guide The Ultimate Infant Care Checklist: Because Moms Need a Little Help Too! Hey mama! Embarking on the wondrous journey of motherhood? It can be overwhelming, right? One moment you're feeling on top of the world and the next, you're wondering if you've got everything ready for your little bundle of joy. I've been there. Every little squeak and shuffle from your baby makes you question if you're prepared. So, to make your life a bit easier, I've created this comprehensive infant care checklist. It's a roadmap to ensure your baby gets the best, and you don't pull all your hair out! Just letting you know that this post providing your infant care checklist, could have some affiliate links in it. These links may result in a small monetary commission for me, if you decide to make a purchase, after clicking on them. Thanks for your support of Insider Mama! Newborn Necessities: Your Complete Infant Care Checklist Diapers & Changing Your new baby is a pooping machine! But don't fret, that's totally normal. You'll want: Portable changing pad 2 large boxes of disposable newborn-size diapers or 30 cloth diapers and 8 diaper covers 3 large containers of unscented baby wipes 2 large tubes of diaper rash cream Diaper bag or backpack (Stocked with, well, everything!) Mom Tip: Keep a small stash of diapers in every room. Saves you from that "Oops, I forgot the diaper" marathon. Clothing and Wardrobe Essentials Babies might not be attending any fancy parties, but they sure do need a lot of outfit changes! 4-8 soft cotton onesies 4-8 shirts 4-8 pants 4-8 one-piece pajamas with zippers (snaps can get annoying at 2 AM!) 1-3 rompers or other dress-up outfits 1-3 sweaters or jackets 4-7 socks or baby booties (even if they last only 5 minutes before they're kicked off) 1-3 newborn or baby hats (for chilly days and bad hair days) No-scratch mittens 2-3 swaddles Bunting bag or fleece suit for the winter 3 outfits the next size up Mom Tip: Opt for simple, versatile, and layer-friendly pieces. Babies grow faster than you think, so having basics that can mix, match, and adjust to changing sizes is key. And always keep a spare outfit (or two) in your diaper bag — because from spills to unexpected diaper mishaps, it's always best to be prepared! Remember, function often beats fashion in the early days, but that doesn't mean your little one can't look cute while being comfy! Whether you're breastfeeding, formula feeding, or somewhere in between, feeding time can feel like a full-time job! 2 Bottlebrushes Dishwasher basket for small items Formula (if not nursing or for emergencies if you are) Breast pump (for the moms on the go or just wanting a break) Milk storage bags Nursing pads Nursing bras Nipple cream High chair (for when baby starts solids) 5-8 bibs 5-8 burp cloths (Because sometimes, what goes down must come up!) Baby feeding pillow Bottle warmer Bottle sterilizer Mom Tip: Always, and I mean ALWAYS, have a burp cloth on hand. It's like the golden rule of motherhood! Sleeping and Nursery Essentials Everyone says, "Sleep when the baby sleeps." Easier said than done, right? But when your little munchkin does decide to catch some Zzz's, you'll need: Crib, mini crib, or bassinet Firm and flat crib mattress that fits snuggly into the crib Sleep sack or wearable blankets Rocking chair or glider Diaper changing table or dresser with changing pad Toy storage Diaper pail Cool mist humidifier Mom Fact: Babies sleep a lot but not for very long. So if they're sleeping 16 hours, don't expect that in one stretch. Think more like… um, 16 stretches. Just when you think your baby can't get any cuter, you put them in a bath, and BOOM! Cuteness overload! Baby bathtub or sink insert Tear-free baby shampoo/body wash 2-4 hooded baby towels Soft washcloths Baby lotion Mom Tip: Slippery babies are like trying to hold a bar of soap! Always have everything within arm's reach during bath time. Whether you're just running to the store or going on a family adventure, you'll want to ensure baby travels in style and safety. Car seat (And make sure it's properly installed!) Baby carrier or sling (for those days when you need an extra set of hands) Mom Tip: Always prep ahead! Before heading out, check the diaper bag for essentials and pack some extra snacks and toys. When using a car seat, do the "pinch test" to ensure the straps are snug and can't be pinched together (it means they're just right). And lastly, always keep a small stash of diapers, wipes, and a change of clothes in the car. Because sometimes, detours happen — whether it's a surprise visit to grandma's or an unexpected diaper change in the backseat! We can't keep them in a bubble, as much as we'd like to. But we can make sure they're safe! Outlet covers Cabinet locks Mom Fact: Babies have a sixth sense. If there's something unsafe in a room, they'll find it! So always be one step ahead. Play & Learning Your baby may seem like they're just eating and sleeping, but their little brains are like sponges! Soft toys Play mat or baby gym Baby books (it's never too early to start reading to them!) Teething Toys Mom Tip: Follow your baby's lead! It's easy to get caught up in educational toys and structured activities, but sometimes the best learning moments come from simple play. Use everyday moments, like bath time or grocery shopping, as learning experiences. Sing, chat, and describe your actions. Your little one will have their share of doctor's appointments, especially in the first year. Vaccination records Growth charts List of questions for pediatrician Baby nail clippers or file Petroleum jelly and sterile gauze (for circumcision care) First aid kit Cradle cap brush Baby toothbrush Teething gel Mom Fact: Doctors expect a barrage of questions from first-time moms. It's basically our right of passage! Never be shy to ask. Your baby's doctor is there to help and guide you. Let's face it, babies can be a bit...messy. Keeping things clean can make life smoother. Baby-safe laundry detergent Hand sanitizer Gentle cleaning products Mom Tip: Sometimes, babies make more laundry than a football team after a muddy match! Having a simple laundry routine can be a lifesaver. Your little one needs comfort, just like the rest of us. Here are a few helpful items to aid you and your infant: 3-5 pacifiers White noise machine (great for all ages) Soft blankets Mom Tip: Tuning into your baby's cues is key! Each baby has a unique way of showing what soothes them. It might be a particular lullaby, a soft swaddle, or gentle rocking. Invest in comfy essentials like soft blankets and pacifiers, but remember that often your touch, voice, or heartbeat is the ultimate comfort for your little one. Infant Care Checklist: A Spin Around the Globe Isn't it fascinating how we all live under the same sky but have such different ways of doing things? When it comes to babies, every corner of the world has its unique spin. An infant care checklist in one country might look a tad different from another, and oh boy, is it fun to learn about! 1. India: Ever heard of the 'Jaapa'? In many parts of India, new moms and their babies are taken care of by a special caregiver for 40 days after birth. It's a time to heal, bond, and eat special (and super yummy) foods to regain strength. The infant care checklist includes a gentle baby massage with warm oil every day. Talk about pampering! 2. Latin America: Hola, mamacita! In many Latin American cultures, the 40 days post-birth is called 'La Cuarentena'. During this time, the mom gets some serious R&R while she bonds with her baby. Their infant care checklist includes herbal baths for both mama and baby. Just imagine, both of you in a tub with rose petals - sounds like a spa day! 3. Nigeria: In the Yoruba culture, the baby's naming ceremony happens on the 7th or 8th day after birth. It's a big celebration with family, music, and yes – lots of delicious food! Their infant care checklist? A touch of honey, date, and other symbolic items to give the baby a taste of life's sweetness. 4. Korea: Over in Korea, they celebrate a baby's first 100 days. Why? In the olden days, if a baby made it past 100 days, it was a big deal because of high infant mortality rates. Their infant care checklist includes cute, tiny traditional dresses and a big family gathering. Talk about a milestone! 5. Finland: Alright, northern lights time! Finnish moms get a maternity package from the government. And guess what? It comes in a cardboard box which can be – wait for it – used as a baby's first bed! The infant care checklist from Finland is practical and, well, boxy! There you have it! It's heartwarming to see how every culture loves, celebrates, and takes care of their little ones in unique ways. It's a beautiful reminder that while our infant care checklists may vary, our mama-bear love is universal. Eco-Friendly Infant Care Checklist: Going Green for Our Little Beans! You might think, "Eco-what now?" Don't fret. I've got some simple, green choices for baby care that won't break the bank or your back. 1. Cloth Diapers: Remember those old-timey white cloth diapers our grandmas used to swear by? They're back, and they're trendier than ever! These diapers are washable, reusable, and trust me, they come in the most adorable designs. Your baby will be rocking a cloth diaper like it's the latest fashion. Plus, think of all the disposable diapers we're saving from landfills. High-five to that! 2. Biodegradable Wipes: Let's face it: wipes are our best friends in the messy world of babyhood. But here's the twist: opt for biodegradable wipes. They work just as great and won't stick around on our planet for a gazillion years after use. 3. Organic Clothing: Imagine wrapping your baby in a cloud. That's how soft organic baby clothes feel! Made without any harmful chemicals, these clothes are kind on your baby's skin and kind to Mother Earth. It's like giving the planet a gentle, loving hug. 4. Wooden Toys: There's something timeless about wooden toys. Not only are they sturdy and long-lasting (read: baby-proof), but they're also way better for the environment than their plastic counterparts. Plus, they have a vintage charm that makes them perfect for those cute baby photoshoots! 5. Homemade Baby Food: Now, I'm not saying turn into a master chef overnight, but whipping up some homemade purees once in a while is a delightful way to reduce packaging waste. And let's be honest, there's a teeny bit of pride in watching your little one relish something you made. Chef hats on, ladies! Incorporating these green choices in our infant care checklist is like giving our babies a head start in loving and taking care of their home – Earth. And as we pass on these eco-friendly habits, we're not just moms; we're eco-warriors! Checkoff Your Infant Care Checklist on a Budget Babies? Adorable. The cost of baby stuff? Not so cute. It's almost as if our little bundles of joy come with a not-so-tiny price tag. But, between us moms, there are ways to sprinkle some savvy savings magic on our infant care checklist without skimping on quality. 1. To Splurge: The Car Seat: When it comes to safety, there's no cutting corners. Invest in a good quality car seat that meets all safety standards. Think of it as a throne for your little prince or princess — they deserve the best seat in the car, right? 2. Save with Second-Hand: Many baby items, like clothes, toys, and books, have a short shelf life because our munchkins grow faster than we can say "stop growing!" Consider getting these items second-hand. Garage sales, thrift stores, or hand-me-downs from friends can be gold mines for barely-used baby treasures. Plus, it's like a treasure hunt, and who doesn't love that? 3. To Splurge: The Mattress: A good night's sleep is like gold for us moms. Investing in a quality crib mattress ensures your baby sleeps soundly, which means (fingers crossed) more Zzz's for you too. 4. DIY Baby Food: Once your little one starts on solids, consider making baby food at home. It's often cheaper and healthier. And hey, there's a teeny thrill in watching them gobble down your homemade culinary masterpiece, even if it's just mashed carrots. 5. Savvy Shopping with Sales: Those cute baby stores? They have sales, and they're your new best friend. Signing up for newsletters and alerts can keep you in the loop for discounts. Your infant care checklist will thank you! 6. To Splurge: A Good Stroller: If you're planning on doing lots of outdoor walks or runs, this is one to invest in. It's like your car, but for sidewalks. You want something that's durable, comfortable, and can navigate those pesky curbs and corners. 7. Bulk Buy Basics: Diapers, wipes, and formula can be bought in bulk. Warehouse stores or online sales can offer bulk items at a reduced cost. It's like a mini stockpile for the baby apocalypse! 8. Swap and Share: Create a swap group with fellow moms. Items like baby carriers, which aren't used for a long period, can be swapped among friends. It's like a revolving door of baby goodies! Remember, while our babies deserve the world, it doesn't mean we have to break the bank to provide it. With a bit of creativity, planning, and the above tips, your infant care checklist can be both budget-friendly and top-notch. Safe and Sound: a Baby-Proofed Home Our little adventurers have a unique talent: getting into EVERYTHING! Once they start crawling or toddling, it's like they've been given a secret mission to explore every nook and cranny of our homes. So, how do we make sure our home base is safe for their curious escapades? 1. The Great Wall of Baby Gates: Remember those days when we could freely roam around our homes? Yeah, those were the times! But now? Baby gates are our new best friends. Use them at stairways and rooms you'd rather your mini explorer stay out of. 2. The Invisible Shield: Clear, sticky corner protectors can be put on sharp furniture edges. They're like invisible shields for our little ones' noggins. No more worrying about those surprise bumps! 3. Secure the Heavy Artillery: Big furniture items like dressers and bookshelves? Anchor them to the wall. We can't have our little climbers turning them into Mt. Everest and risking a tumble. 4. Locked and Loaded: Cupboard locks! Oh, how essential they are. It's either that or find your pots being used as a drum set or your Tupperware turned into building blocks. 5. Outlet Who? Those tiny little holes in the wall? To our munchkins, they look like mini caves waiting to be explored. Outlet covers are a must. They're the easiest way to keep those curious fingers safe. 6. The Bathroom Expedition: Ah, the bathroom, a world of wonder for our littles. Toilet locks, non-slip mats, and keeping medicines way up high can turn this room from a danger zone to a safe haven. 7. Beware of the Small Stuff: Little objects can be a choking hazard. If it's small enough to fit inside a toilet paper roll, it's small enough to be a risk. Time for a ground-level inspection, mom-style! 8. No Tug-of-War: Those pretty window blind cords? They're fun to pull but can be dangerous. Consider cordless blinds or use cord wraps to keep them out of reach. While we can't bubble wrap our entire home (as tempting as it might sound), with a mix of vigilance and these tips, we can make sure our little ones have a safe environment to grow and explore in. To Sum It All Up! There you have it, dear mama, the ultimate infant care checklist, sprinkled with a little bit of humor and a lot of love. I hope this list helps ease your mind and provides a clear path to set up your little one's world. Remember, while this list can be a helpful guide, the most important thing you can give your baby is your love, attention, and care. Up next, Mastering the First Year: Infant Care Basics for New Parents Trust your instincts, lean on your support system, and don't forget to take a moment for yourself. You've got this!

Comments Make Us Happy Wondering if most restaurants downtown are open? Specifically Itta Bena or Majestic? Coming from an hour away just wanting to know if things are open? Is there music on the street on Beale? Is Wet Willies back open? Holly Whitfield Hi Michelle, Almost everything is open all over town, including Itta Bena, Majestic, and Wet Willy's. I strongly suggest making reservations and calling ahead because while places are open, they may have limited space or hours. I can't say if they will have music literally outside on the street, many clubs on Beale will have live music inside.

What are the best adult cam sites in 2023? Well, dear reader – it depends on what you are looking for from a cam site. In truth, there are hundreds of adult webcam sites, but only a few of them are worth more than a fleeting glance. We're going to show you which platforms are home to the hottest live cam girls, and the best token deals on live sex chat. To whet your appetite, here's how some of the most famous live cam girl sites compare: Want to lurk in the background and fap your meat while some other sucker 'tips' the amateur model to take her clothes off? …If so, you'll appreciate the sex cam sites that employ a "crowdsourced tipping" format – like Chaturbate and CamSoda. These are marketed as "free cam sites", because you can watch 99% of the action without paying. Looking for cam-to-cam chat with sophisticated models and occasional adult film stars? Check out LiveJasmin or Flirt4Free, where the "Models Online" section resembles a selection box of high-end escorts. These platforms host expert cam girls who are highly skilled at getting you off. Or maybe you want to chat with mostly European girls? The top cam sites for European models are Bonga Cams and XCams. The latter of which is available in over 30 different languages. Overall, if we had to pick the sleekest sex cam site that does everything well (including VR cams!) – at a good price – and with a ton of attractive cam models, we'd recommend StripChat. That's the TL&DR. Below are 14 of the hottest sites for live cam girls, explored in detail. We assess what they offer, and how they compare to the competition vs. other cam sex sites. 14 Best Adult Cam Sites: Top Free and Paid Live Cam Girls Here are the top 14 adult webcam sites, as chosen by our editorial team – who are currently 100% fapped out, and a lot poorer than when they started their 'research': |Adult Cam Site |Recommended For… |Virtual reality cam girls, stunning VR sex cams. |Outrageous PR stunts, free porn cams from well-known porn stars. |The King of free webcam sites. |Slut Roulette |Chat Roulette style random encounters with live cam girls. |Most interactive sex cam experience. Highly personalized. |Huge roster of live cam girls. |Lucky Crush |Randomly connect to live cam girls for one-on-one video chat. |Bonga Cams |Free adult webcams from a largely European cam girl roster. |Private chat with professional cam models. |Free live sex cams with massive audiences. |Super cheap adult cams of varying quality. |Highly efficient cam girls who work full-time. |Euro-speaking models. Live sex shows in French, German, Spanish & 30 different languages. |Free porn cams where the cam guys outnumber the cam girls! You don't need us to tell you — there are hundreds of cam sites offering live cam girls. We've chosen these live sex cam sites for their overall experience. They are superior for their choice of cam girls, their user-friendliness, their private sex show offerings and their trustworthiness (no scams – all are 100% legit). We've summarised each cam site and how they compare in the areas that matter: variety of live cam girls, cam girls online, average private show cost, stream quality and overall value for money. This list was last updated in April 2023. 1. StripChat - Ranked #1 Adult Cam Site by RLN - Known for: Cutting-edge virtual reality sex cams - Registered Cam Girls: 50,000+ - Average Cam Girls Online: 1000+ StripChat is one of the best adult cam sites in the 'free webcam girls' category. You can find fully-nude explicit sex shows without having to pay for private access. In these broadcasts, the cam models rely on generous viewers tipping to make money. When it launched in 2016, StripChat was originally intended to provide live streams of striptease performances – hence the name. It has since evolved to become a more traditional adult cam site, albeit one that is a leading pioneer in the space. There are still some models who only broadcast a striptease, but the vast majority of these webcam girls are already half (or fully) naked by the time they start streaming. Expect to see uncensored action like this: StripChat was the first cam site to adopt live mobile streaming. It's also the best in the business if you're looking for VR sex cams. Seriously, we definitely recommend you give virtual reality camming a shot if you have one of the necessary headsets. 😉 All of the usual add-ons are available: Cam2cam functionality, private shows, voyeur mode and interactive toys. With rapid growth to its roster of sexy cam girls, StripChat has become one of the top camming platforms in the space. And best of all? It has plenty of free porn cams to enjoy without spending a penny. 2. CamSoda - Ranked #2 Adult Cam Site by RLN - Known for: PR stunts and free cam shows with porn stars - Registered Cam Girls: 40,000+ - Average Cam Girls Online: 1500+ CamSoda is a relative newcomer to the adult webcamming scene, having launched in 2015. Don't let that put you off though. CamSoda offers arguably the best user experience of any site on our list. The company is known for its high model payouts, which has drawn more and more of the best cam stars on to the platform. Most shows are fully explicit (even to free users), with an emphasis on tips. Private and one-to-one sessions are available, rated low-to-average on our cost scale. One thing that separates CamSoda from the competition is their love for outrageous PR stunts. From marketing its own silly inventions and staging fake news, to gaining media attention by surfing the waves of popular stories, they are never far from the limelight. The company famously managed to turn the coronavirus pandemic to their advantage, peddling free cam shows to a world population crippled by lockdowns. Our favorite part of CamSoda is the regular dose of VIP shows by popular porn stars and adult models. They have a knack for attracting some of the best webcam models of any major camgirl site. 3. Chaturbate - Ranked #3 Adult Cam Site by RLN - Known for: The OG of free sex cams - Registered Cam Girls: 350,000+ - Average Cam Girls Online: 5000+ Ahh, trusty Chaturbate. The appeal of this site is that it takes 'lucky dip' to the next level. There are some insanely hot shows, fully-explicit, and viewable for free. There's also hundreds of really bad grainy feeds of models who could be watching paint dry. That's the good and bad of a site boasting so many free camgirls – you never really know what to expect. With a staggering 350,000+ registered cam models, and 5000+ models performing live at any given time, you won't find better variety, or choice of cam show channels, on any other site. The secret sauce behind Chaturbate's industry dominance is its freemium business model. You can watch fully-explicit live sex shows without even registering on the site. Chaturbate shows are mostly tip-based or group ticket incentivised. Is it one of the cheapest options on our list, with plenty of free access to sexy video streams. Of course, by signing up to 'tip tokens', you will get to the action much faster. Clothes off, teledildonic dildo at the ready… and away she goes… 😉 4. Slut Roulette - Ranked #4 Adult Cam Site by RLN - Known for: Chat Roulette style random encounters with live cam girls - Registered Cam Girls: Unknown. We couldn't verify an exact number. - Average Cam Girls Online: 1000+ Slut Roulette is basically a fully explicit version of the infamous Chat Roulette site. It's the perfect cam site if you are looking for random encounters with live cam girls in a one-on-one setting. The idea being that you swipe through cam after cam until you find a performer who catches your attention. When you land on the site, you'll be paired with a completely random cam girl. Don't worry, your own camera wont be activated unless you want it to be! You can then choose to stick or twist, scrolling through free cam shows until you find one you like. Once you get lucky, you'll need to tip for the video chat action to really pick up. These cam girls aren't just whipping their clothes off for charity. If you're not completely sold on the random matching, you can choose to target cam models based on some useful filters: - Bondage - Couples - Muscle - Transgirls - Pornstar - Mature - Smoking Slut Roulette is a cheeky play on the highly addictive formula that made Chat Roulette such a popular site. The obvious difference being that it's loaded with active cam girls, which makes it a much more predictable experience — and less likely to end in repeated exposure to random cock and balls. Unless that's your thing, of course! 5. JerkMate - Ranked #5 Adult Cam Site by RLN - Known for: Highly interactive private cams experience. - Registered Cam Girls: 30,000+ - Average Cam Girls Online: 700+ As you've probably seen… JerkMate has run several high profile advertising campaigns on popular tube sites. Most of us can recall trying to access PornHub only to meet a JerkMate cam girl touting her private shows for the 63rd time, right? It's a brand we're all familiar with — but how does the cam site work? JerkMate shot to fame as a roulette site, which uses random matchmaking to connect you with different cam models. It's a bit like Slut Roulette, but with a highly interactive and engaging system for personalising your quest to find the perfect cam girl. The site also operates as a traditional camming platform, with an estimated 30,000 models and over 700+ active at any given time. That's pretty small when you compare it to Chaturbate, MyFreeCams, or any of the major players. But there's a reason why. JerkMate is highly successful at hiring experienced pornstars and established cam girls to ensure that the overall viewing quality of their private shows remains excellent. Some models give away explicit content to free viewers, but the majority require private or group shows. The cost of tokens is average on our scale (see below). You can rely on random matchmaking — like Slut Roulette — but to get the most out of JerkMate, you should really take advantage of their excellent filters and personalisation. Set your preferences, and get ready to jerk to some of the hottest camgirls in the business. 6. Streamate Ranked #6 Adult Cam Site Known for: Famous TV ads and huge choice of models Streamate is a white-label cam site that is familiar to anybody who has watched late-night cable TV in the US. With a portfolio of over 130,000 cam models (mostly solo girls), and excellent value group shows, you can get a lot of bang for your cam show buck. Private shows are typically priced in the $3/minute bracket, but can vary from $1-$9. That makes Streamate one of the cheaper options on our list. You can certainly get fantastic value out of the ticketed group shows ('Gold Shows'). On the downside, there's not as much content given away for free. These private girls are only likely to get naked in one-on-one chat. 7. Lucky Crush Ranked #7 Adult Cam Site Known for: Random live one-on-one video chat Entering our list at #7 is another of the adult themed dirty Chat Roulette clones. Lucky Crush connects you to random cam girls (and yes, it's designed in such a way that men meet women and women meet men). The women on the site earn money to keep you entertained one-on-one, so you can probably guess what the deal is here. It's strictly NSFW, and it doesn't involve many clothes. Lucky Crush is basically a private adult video chat network, with random matchmaking. So random, in fact, that the private girls on this site could be literally anywhere in the world. To help with your global conquests, there's even a handy text translation tool! A good choice for anonymous sexy cam fun. 8. Bonga Cams Ranked #8 Adult Cam Site Known for: Freemium-style Euro cams BongaCams combines fully-explicit free-to-watch shows with flat-rate private shows, in an easy-to-navigate hub. Like Chaturbate and MFC, you can watch a lot of uncensored fucking as a guest. Many models rely on tips, which makes Bonga a good option for basking in the glorious scenes that other users have paid for! Cam quality is a bit hit-and-miss with only around 50% of models having HD streams. This free live sex chat site has a lot of European performers, but there's a decent number of North American models too. The cost of going private is average to high ($5.90 per min) compared to similar sites. But it's also fixed-rate (the same price for all models). 9. LiveJasmin Ranked #9 Adult Cam Site Known for: Huge & diverse pool of live cam girls LiveJasmin is one of the dominant players in the adult camming space, having first launched in 2001. With its iconic red branding and heavy presence on tube sites, you probably remember visiting a LiveJasmin show, whether you intended to or not! This site is heavily skewed towards paying users and private shows. Tipping is not really a thing. Most models charge per-minute, either for private or group shows. The cost of these shows is low to average, with a huge selection of over 200,000 models. LJ models tend to be slicker and more professional than those on tipping-based sites. 10. MyFreeCams Ranked #10 Adult Cam Site Known for: Huge number of free cams, of varying quality MyFreeCams (MFC) is an almost exclusively solo female cam site that rivals Chaturbate in the 'free to watch' category. The site has racked up a catalog of over 200,000 models since launching in 2002. If we're being honest – not much has changed visually. This live webcam site has a distinctly noughties vibe and feels more like an adult chat platform than a high end cam site. Inside you will find solo cam girls putting on public shows, occasionally full-explicit for tips. Unlike other sites, the cost of private shows with the MFC token system is locked in for every model at $6/minute, which is quite high relative to the competition. 11. IMLive Ranked #11 Adult Cam Site Known for: Cheap live sex cams & good value IMLive has been in business for over 15 years and is closing in on 100,000 amateur models. It is very reasonably priced with private shows available from $1-$5/minute, making this one of the best value adult cam sites in the world. IMLive also lets models run group chats, known as Candy Shows. Instead of paying by the minute, you pay a fixed price for entry. There's no pressure to clock in and out. Simply sit back and enjoy the full live porn show! The majority of performers are amateur solo women, but the site is known for partnering with porn stars (usually one per month). A great all-round cam site with excellent value private shows. 12. Flirt4Free Ranked #12 Adult Cam Site Known for: High quality HD private girls Flirt4Free has been in business since 1999, but the site has the lowest number of models on our list. So what gives? Flirt4Free places a premium on high quality cam shows. There are less models to choose from, but the streams are crystal clear and each of these models knows how to put on a show. From the model's perspective, Flirt4Free is a mixed bag. The site takes a large share of the revenue, and cost of tokens for users is high. There is very little 'free' content, but also very little bad content. Flirt4Free is an expensive but exceptional curator of high quality cams. 13. XCams Ranked #13 Adult Cam Site Known for: Popular source of Euro cam babes XCams is one of the fastest growing European cam sites, with a great selection of French, Dutch, German and Italian models. If you're tired of watching sex shows in English, this platform delivers a great selection of international models available for video cam girls chat. It's one of the smaller platforms on our list of adult cam sites, with an estimated 25,000+ registered models, and around 400 active during peak hours. The cost of private shows is generally low, with a lot of choice in the $1-$3/minute range. Some models even let you chat directly through your microphone. Be your own amateur porn director… You can also connect by WhatsApp to your favorite girls at a cost of 1 credit per message. 14. Cam4 Ranked #14 Adult Cam Site Known for: Large number of male cam shows Cam4 is another gigantic camming platform based out of Europe. It is the only platform on our list where the cam guys outnumber the girls. With an estimated 150,000 cam models, and a stack of awards from AVN and XBIZ, Cam4 is a top brand, albeit lesser known than some of the live porn sites above. Models (mostly amateurs) are allowed to set their own price for private shows, which makes for massive variation in cost. A private show can cost anywhere between $2 to $24 per minute(!), but we found most performers opting for the sweet spot of $2.50-$7.50. Cam4 is another of the major players to venture in to VR camming with Cam4VR. Other Notable Live Sex Cam Sites In highlighting the most popular adult cam sites, there were several candidates that didn't make our final cut above. Below we've rounded up some notable additions that we have featured over the years.

[Full LivePrivates Review] |Cherry.TV is a brand new camming platform that is starting to gain traction with a raft of modern features and a small but growing selection of webcam models. Definitely one of the live sex webcam sites to look out for in the coming months. [Full Cherry.TV Review] What Are The Most Popular Sites For Live Cam Girls? We've compiled the average cost per private show, total number of registered models and average models online for each of our top rated cam sites. These figures are a best estimate at the time of publication. |Free Shows? |AVG Private Cost |Registered Models |Models Online |Cam Soda |Strip Chat |Bonga Cams What Do Private Live Sex Cams Cost? There are a few things to keep in mind with the numbers above. Firstly, the average cost of a private show is just that – an average. The top rated models will often charge ABOVE the quoted averages, with some VIP shows costing a significant amount per minute. There are also different types of private shows. Some cam sites sell a separate 'spying' package where you can pay a discounted rate to watch another user's private show. You won't be able to send messages or interact with the performer, but you can still watch. To lock out a spying audience, a user can upgrade his private show to a VIP private show. In these cases, it's just you and the performer. Nobody else gets to see the show that she puts on. As a result, things can get a whole lot kinkier. Many of the sites also sell Group Show packages. How does this work? The model will set a target: i.e. full strip show w/ masturbating for 2000 tokens. Users then contribute tokens to reach her target, at which point those who contributed get access to the private show, which will contain much more sexually explicit material. The bottom line: It's difficult for us to provide a simple analysis of the pricing on each cam site. It all depends on what price the model sets, the level of exclusivity, and whether you are the solo purchaser – or buying a group ticket. Free Cam Sites: Best Token Deals For New Customers Some of the sites on our list offer free tokens just for signing up. These tokens are given away as introductory deals for new customers and can be used to explore some of the paid or premium features. You can put the free credits towards a private show, tipping a model, or even purchasing digital items like her private pics or videos.

Twenty One Pilots Are Working On A New Album By Katrina Nattress May 11, 2020 The COVID-19 outbreak has, without a doubt, been an absolute global tragedy; however, a silver lining may come in the form of new music. Like the rest of us, musician are hunkering down at home, and some have chosen to spend their time writing. Last month, Twenty One Pilots shared a new song called "Level of Concern," and it doesn't look like they're stopping there. In a new interview (via AltPress), frontman Tyler Joseph divulged that he's writing a whole new album. "Man, as much as I appreciate everyone getting on their computer and playing acoustic bedroom versions of stuff, it's old for me," he confessed. "I don't want to just do that. I want to talk to our fans through a record. That's what I'm currently working on." "I'm not sure when it'll be released," he added, "but it's definitely going to be sooner than we were planning on releasing a record." Though he's hard at work, it sounds like the project's still in its infancy. Joseph said he's not sure if this will be an "in-between record" or pick up where Trench left off, though he admitted it's hard to get into the right headspace to continue that narrative. "It's kind of hard for me to tap into the story of Trench and what we've been building on up until that point without being there," he explained. "Without touring, without having live shows, without interacting with our fans." Trench was released in October of 2018, and fans are more than ready for new music.

Whoever has read Mary Shelly's fictional novel," ," or has ever seen any of this plethora of Hollywood horror films you start with Boris Karloff's portrayal of this tragic creature, know that Victor Frankenstein, the doctor responsible for it's invention, has been doctor who'd higher intention on his mind and also a mad scientist's self as his driving pressure. I am surprised yet , that given our profession unwanted and debilitating picture, the title character was not a dental dentist. After all, though we're quite respected within our communities and also do possess the tech to produce nearly painless dental experiences, dentistry has been, and remains, among the most feared and hated of all health careers. Through time I've discovered over a couple ladies comment at social gatherings,"I would favour a kid in relation to the root canal." Cosmetic therapy can create the most powerful person at the globe sweaty and weak in the knees. The fact Frankenstein has been still an MD and not really a DDS or a DMD is obviously a few, but frankly, very little comfort. Although the dental occupation has taken many positive steps prior to creating dental hygiene more at ease for its community, the negative image of uncaring dentists and debilitating dentistry was drilled in to the minds of their public for decades, maybe not through damaging individual adventures and dental"terror" tales, but additionally through books, animations, television shows and movies. Unfortunately, this representation continues today through the same stations too through the Internet, blogging, websites, and YouTube pictures. Unfair and negative depictions of dental practitioners because comic aid or as aloof, uncaring and sadistic, and negatively senile depictions of dental hygiene from the arts and press have fearful that the psyche of the general public and created needless fear. The bottom line purpose is that even in 2010, there are still few if any favorable dental personalities or unforgettable passages out of novels or scenes out of movies to counterbalance that negative picture. Regrettably, there aren't any friendly and affable locality dental practitioners, like Dr. Marcus Welby," MD.. Popular civilization have been kind for dentists. It started with vintage paintings of barber that were the dentists of this age, looking at high in horrified, crying patients having some kind of medieval instrument in your mind ary digital. Being a young child, I remember characters in older black cartoons that formulated contraptions of principles, pulleys and also doorknobs to get rid of a tooth rather than visit the dentist. These images persist into the contained in most cartoon collection. A string was attached to some enamel and then tied to a doorknob around the other end. Then your other spouse slams the doorway and also the enamel belongs flying. Funny Huh? The numberone phobia producing film is the 1976 film edition of William Goldman's book, The Marathon guy. In it, you'll find scenes in which a former Nazi dentist, played insidiously by Lawrence Olivier, attempts to torture and"extract" advice from an unwitting faculty graduate scholar, performed by Dustin Hoffman, by getting rid of his teeth without any anesthesia. Ouch!! In some of the funniest scenes from Hollywood background, but just damaging into this dental phobic, is another famous play and 1986 darkish comedy film, The Little Shop of Horrors. In it, Steve Martin stars while the most despicable, nitrous oxide sniffing dental professional, supporting the both masochistic, pain-loving affected person, performed by Bill Murray. This film, though humorous sometimes, has retained many away a patient from the dentist. At the 1970's comedy film, The In-Laws," Alan Arkin portrayed a dental professional that was simply unknowingly dragged along on a CIA assignment with future in-law," CIA representative, Peter Falk. Regrettably , he abandoned with a patient with a feeling inside his mouth, unable to talk or to telephone for aid. We do figure out what happened to that bad man. In the 1985 film, Compromising Positions, a philandering prolonged Island dental professional has been found murdered. His neighborplayed by Susan Sarandon, a former journalist who is presently an upper middle-class house wife and also a patient of his, decides to use to find the actual killer. Because it turns out, this dentist, having plenty of mistresses to fill an appointment novel, is no Father Knows Best personality. John Schuck played with Waldowski from the film. The personality's name and position form a succession of plays-on-words. At the movie, he fails in bed and wants to perpetrate suicide. His colleagues feign to simply help him giving him a placebo they tell him would finally stop his lifetime. Afterward your personality Lieutenant Dish, performed with Jo Ann Pflug, finds Waldowski lying into his own coffin, awaiting for that which he thinks is his own departure. The morning after, having had a thriving sexual encounter together with Lt. Dish, he arrives to get break fast, serene and completely free of anxiety. This incident is the way to obtain the MASH theme song,"Suicide Is Painless", which refers to both the procedure of suicide along with into your dentist's nickname. This would be amusing if not for the fact that dentists have this kind of high suicide charge. From the 2000 comedy movie, The Whole Nine Yards, and its' sequel," The Whole Ten Yards, Mathew Perry, of buddies fame, plays with an unhappily wed woman in Montreal, Canada named Oz. His new neighbor, played with Bruce Willis, is really a former Chicago mob struck man-turned-informant. If Oz tells his covetous wife, " she compels him to move to Chicago and decide to try to promote the hit-man's location for the mobsters he betrayed. To get his wife off his spine, he belongs. Meanwhile, the Oz's spouse fighters on Oz on Jimmy, trusting Jimmy will get rid of Oz so that she could profit about Oz's lifetime insurance policy. Pretty soon everybody wants to eliminate everyone else, but, especially our unhappy, educated, dentist. Novocaine is really a 2001 film starring Steve Martin as the dentist, Laura Dern because his hygenist-fianceé and Helena Bonham Carter as Susan, a patient with an increase of on her head than respite from an uncomfortable tooth, and obtaining a prescription for Demerol. She creates a consultation, also that she seduces the dental professional into getting drunk and having sex with her. She then steals his narcoticsand sells them to an 18-year aged boy, who expires in an auto collision. The plot goes down from that point. His fiancée' kills his brother in the dental chair. Then he pulls his deceased brother's teethpulls out his or her own teeth and then puts them into a mildew. He super-glues the mould to his brother's mouth and begins a fire. He also Susan, having become fans, go to France to call home, even though his previous fiancée', " who killed his brother(who everybody else believes is your dental practitioner because of his tooth ) goes into prison for lifetime. Believe mepersonally, this isn't just a regular day in the life span of a dental practitioner. At the 1970's, Peter Bonerz played with the eldest buddy and dental professional published an expert office building floor together with psychiatrist Bob Hartley, played with Bob Newhart from it collection, The Bob Newhart Show. The crucial phrases here are dentist and goofy. At the 90's sitcom," Seinfeld," Dr. Tim Whatley, performed with Bryan Cranston, who plays with the father inside the sitcom, Malcolm in the Middle, predicts himself,"Dentist into the Stars." Since Jerry's dentist," he's accused of converting to Judaism so that he can say magic jokes, along with also being a"re-gifter,"' offering somebody a gift that you just received from someone else. Jerry can also be mad at seeing Penthouse publications in the living area and having possibly sexually molested while he was doomed throughout a tooth filling. And afterward a most troublesome was receiving xmas gifts from the dentist that were planned as contributions to charities made at the dentist's name. The term,"anti-dentite," is released at the show by Kramer. What an unpleasant character this dentist, Dr. Whatley, is portrayed , certainly not someone you are able to trust to be your own dentist. The plot in 1 episode of this very long running, revived TV comedy series, " The Simpsons, termed"Painless Dentistry," revolves around the father, Homer, getting informed that his daughter, Lisa, requires dentures. He does not need to cover her braceshe runs for and is elected as the President of the Springfield Nuclear powerplant union. Then he direct the employees of their plant in a hit as a way to receive their straightened dental program back. Everything he can perform in order to cover dentistry is a bit surplus, in that era of all insurance difficulties, it is quite timely as well as clear.

Iggy Azalea isn't too worried about the people who think she's doing a disservice to the Notorious B.I.G. with her latest track "I'm Coming Out." The Australian rapper and Keyshia Cole were recently tapped to cover the tune for the soundtrack to the comedy The Other Woman. When Azalea heard the beat, she immediately thought of the tune "Mo Money Mo Problems" featuring Biggie, Mase, and Puffy Daddy. According to Iggy, people from her generation are more familiar with that song than Diana Ross' "I'm Coming Out." However, some people weren't exactly thrilled that Iggy Azalea would tackle something as iconic as "Mo Money Mo Problems." In fact, the backlash surrounding the track was a little overwhelming. While some people simply avoided the song, others claimed that they'd rather drink bleach than listen to Azalea rap over that beat. — Yung Superlative (@Judnikki) March 6, 2014 Since so many people were making a big deal about the track, Iggy Azalea decided to address the situation during a recent chat with MTV News. In short: The rapper isn't too concerned about the hatred surrounding her collaboration with Keyshia Cole. "I'm from a generation where I don't think 'I'm Coming Out.' I'm thinking 'Mo Money Mo Problems.' I'm 23. That's what I think about. I was like, 'I need to get my Ma$e on, get my Diddy on.' I went with that vibe, so when people heard it, they said, 'She's doing the Biggie remix,'" Azalea explained. Iggy added, "I really don't care. Come on, though. I love Biggie forever, and Tupac, but that's a sampled song. So, don't be mad about something that's sampled already. That's not an original thing. So, don't be mad about that." Check out Iggy Azalea and Keyshia Cole's version of "I'm Coming Up." Although some people certainly have an issue with the Iggy, it would seem that a lot of folks in the music industry are extremely eager to work with the rapper. The Inquisitr previously reported that Jennifer Lopez recently tapped Azalea for a tune on her upcoming album AKA. "She actually only asked me about two weeks ago, so I didn't have to keep the secret for too long. When I opened on tour for Beyoncé I had to keep that under wraps for months, which really killed me. So this is a breeze," Iggy recently told Ryan Seacrest. She added, "I love her. I definitely used to sit in my bedroom as a young girl and lip-sync Jennifer Lopez songs, so it's very cool to have a song with her on her album." What do you think about Iggy Azalea and Keyshia Cole's version of "I'm Coming Out"?

Program helps to serve the refugee population in the Treasure Valley – helping women learn valuable English skills along with their babies Boise, ID - Getting books from the doctor will soon be a routine part of regular pediatric checkups at the Saint Alphonsus C.A.R.E. Maternal/Child Health Clinic as doctors and nurses welcome the Reach Out and Read program to the practice. The Saint Alphonsus C.A.R.E clinic joins more than 4,779 Programs nationwide that are preparing America's youngest children to succeed in school. Doctors, nurse practitioners, and other medical professionals incorporate Reach Out and Read's evidence-based model into regular pediatric checkups, by advising parents about the importance of reading aloud and giving developmentally-appropriate books to children. The program begins at the 6-month checkup and continues through age 5, with a special emphasis on children growing up in low-income communities. Families served by Reach Out and Read read together more often, and their children enter kindergarten with larger vocabularies and stronger language skills, better prepared to achieve their potential. Pediatric healthcare providers are trained in the three-part Reach Out and Read model to promote early literacy and school readiness: "In the Saint Alphonsus C.A.R.E. Clinic, we have refugee women and families from several different countries and continents throughout the world," said Judith Hobbs, RN, FACCE, the manager of the Saint Alphonsus Family Center. "Many of these women do not read or write in their native language, nor have they ever been to school in their native country. So in our Reach Out and Read Program, most of our refugee women are learning to read along with their babies, and all are learning valuable English skills. "Our first shipment of books was perfect in that they have pictures of real objects like an apple with the word "apple" below, so the parents can learn correct spelling of everyday items. In addition to this wonderful surprise, several of the books included pictures of babies and families from different ethnicities. Many of our women say, 'I know that these CARE Clinic babies are smarter than other babies because of all that they are learning with Reach Out and Read, and other early learning interventions'. Thank you from the CARE Clinic and our refugee families!" For more information about Reach Out and Read at the Saint Alphonsus C.A.R.E. Maternal/Child Health Clinic, or if you would like to donate funds or volunteer as a reader, please contact Judith Hobbs at 208-367-7386 or [email protected]. About Reach Out and Read Reach Out and Read is an evidence-based, national nonprofit organization that prepares America's youngest children to succeed in school by partnering with doctors to prescribe books and encourage families to read together.

Thermodynamics of effective Minkowski spacetime in self-assembled hyperbolic metamaterials Igor I Smolyaninov Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Maryland 20742College ParkMDUSA Thermodynamics of effective Minkowski spacetime in self-assembled hyperbolic metamaterials 1 Recent developments in gravitation theoryindicate that the classic general relativity is an effective macroscopic theory which will be eventually replaced with a more fundamental theory based on thermodynamics of yet unknown microscopic degrees of freedom. Here we consider thermodynamics of an effective Minkowski spacetime which may be formed under the influence of external magnetic field in a cobalt ferrofluid. It appears that the extraordinary photons propagating inside the ferrofluid perceive thermal gradients in the ferrofluid as an effective gravitational field, which obeys the Newton law. Moreover, the effective Minkowski spacetime behaviour near the metric signature transition may mimic various cosmological Big Bang scenarios, which may be visualized directly using an optical microscope. Thus, some important features of the hypothetic microscopic theory of gravity are reproduced in the ferrofluid-based analogue model. Modern advances in gravitation theory [1,2] strongly indicate that the classic general relativity description of gravity results from a more fundamental theory based onthermodynamics of yet unknown microscopic degrees of freedom. These true microscopic degrees of freedom cannot be probed directly because they are far out of reach of terrestrial experiments and astronomical observations. Therefore, it is instructive to look at various examples of emergent gravity in various analogue spacetimes, which appear in several condensed matter systems [3]. By probing such systems we may gain valuable insights into the relationship between the macroscopic effective gravity and the thermodynamics of well-known microscopic atomic degrees of freedom. Ferrofluid-based self-assembled hyperbolic metamaterials have emerged recently as an interesting example of a condensed matter system, which may be described by an emergent effective Minkowski spacetime, and which exhibits gravitylike nonlinear optical interactions [4][5][6]. If a ferrofluid is subjected to a strong enough external magnetic field, it self-assembles into a "wire array" hyperbolic metamaterial (see Fig.1), which may exhibit reach physics associated with topological defects [8] and metric signature transitions [9]. Moreover, such a self-assembly may occur even without the external field at low enough temperature, due to spontaneous magnetization of the ferrofluid. As was pointed out recently by Mielczarek and Bojowald [10,11], such selfassembled magnetic nanoparticle-based hyperbolic metamaterials exhibit strong similarities with the properties of some microscopic quantum gravity models, such as loop quantum cosmology. Here we will consider thermodynamics of the effective Minkowski spacetime in a ferrofluid. It appears that the extraordinary photons propagating inside the ferrofluid perceive thermal gradients in the ferrofluid as an effective gravitational field, which obeys the Newton law. Moreover, the effective Minkowski spacetime behaviour near the metric signature transition may mimic various cosmological Big Bang scenarios. Thus, some important features of the hypothetic microscopic theory of gravity are reproduced in the ferrofluid-based analogue model. Even though the relationship between the thermodynamics and the effective gravity in 3D ferrofluid spacetime does not completely match the behaviour of general relativity in four spacetime dimensions, this model system is quite interesting. It permits both direct theoretical analysis at the level of well-defined microscopic degrees of freedom, and it enables direct visualization of these microscopic degrees of freedom using standard optical tools. As a starting point, let us consider the electromagnetic properties of selfassembled ferrofluids based on their microscopic degrees of freedom. As an example, let us choose the cobalt magnetic fluid 27-0001 from Strem Chemicals used in experimental studies reported in [4,7,8], which is composed of 10 nm magnetic cobalt nanoparticles in kerosene. The nanoparticles are coated with sodium dioctylsulfosuccinate and a monolayer of LP4 fatty acid condensation polymer. The average volume fraction of cobalt nanoparticles in this ferrofluid is p=8.2%. Magnetic nanoparticles in this ferrofluid are known to form nanocolumns aligned along the magnetic field [7]. Macroscopic electromagnetic properties of such a ferrofluid may be understood based on the Maxwell-Garnett approximation via the dielectric permittivities  m and  d of cobalt and kerosene, respectively. Volume fraction of cobalt nanoparticles aligned into nanocolumns by the external magnetic field,, depends on temperature and the field magnitude. At very large magnetic fields all nanoparticles are aligned into nanocolumns, so that   ) , ( T  p=8.2%, and a 3D wire array hyperbolic metamaterial [4,5] is formed as shown schematically in Fig.1(a). We will assume that at smaller fields the difference ) , ( T   -(H,T) describes cobalt nanoparticles, which are not aligned and distributed homogeneously inside the ferrofluid. Dielectric polarizability of these nanoparticles may be included into  d , leading to slight increase in its value. Using this model, the diagonal components of the ferrofluid permittivity may be calculated using the Maxwell-Garnett approximation as follows [12]: d m z T H T H       )) , ( 1 ( ) , ( 2     (1) d m d m d d d m y x T H T H T H T H                ) , ( 2 ) ))( , ( 1 ( ) ( )) , ( 1 ( ) , ( 2 1          (2) Calculated wavelength dependencies of  2 and  1 at % 2 . 8 ) , (    p T  are plotted in Fig. 1(b). These calculations are based on the optical properties of cobalt in the infrared range [13]. While  1 stays positive and almost constant,  2 changes sign to negative around  = 1m. If the volume fraction of cobalt nanoparticles varies, this change of sign occurs at some critical value  H : m d d H         ,(3) so that the ferrofluid becomes a hyperbolic metamaterial [4,5]. Alignment of cobalt nanoparticle chains along the direction of external magnetic field is clearly revealed by microscopic images of the ferrofluid, as shown in Fig.1(c). As far as magnetic permeability is concerned, at the visible and infrared frequencies the ferrofluid may be considered as a non-magnetic (=1) medium. As a second step, let us demonstrate that the wave equation describing propagation of monochromatic extraordinary light inside a hyperbolic metamaterial exhibits 2+1 dimensional Lorentz symmetry. A detailed derivation of this result may be found in [5]. Since the ferrofluid in external magnetic field may be characterized as a uniaxial dielectric material, the electromagnetic field inside the ferrofluid may be separated into ordinary and extraordinary waves.

It is clear that eq.(8) provides coupling between the matter content (photons) and the effective metric of the metamaterial spacetime. Nonlinear optical effects "bend" this effective Minkowski spacetime, resulting in gravity-like interaction of extraordinary light rays. It appears that in the weak field limit the nonlinear optics of hyperbolic metamaterials may indeed be formulated as an effective gravity [5]. In such a limit the Einstein equation         T T c R k i k i k i   2 1 8 4 (9) 1 1 T c g c R        ,(10) where is the gravitational potential [14]. Therefore, the third order terms in eq.(8) may provide correct coupling between the effective metric and the energy-momentum tensor. These terms are associated with the optical Kerr effect. The detailed analysis in [5] indeed indicates that the Kerr effect in a hyperbolic metamaterial leads to effective gravity. Let us briefly reproduce this analysis, since it is important for the discussion of connection between the effective gravity and the thermodynamics of a magnetized ferrofluid. Since z coordinate plays the role of time, while g 00 is identified with - 1 , eq.(10) may be re-written as zz zz c T c     4 4 1 ) 2 ( 16 16       ,(11) where  (2) is the 2D Laplacian operating in the xy plane,  is the effective "gravitation constant", and  zz is the zz component of the Maxwell stress tensor of the electromagnetic field in the medium:             B H E D B H E D z z z z zz     2 1 4 1   (12) Taking into account eq.(4), for a single plane wave eq.(11) may be rewritten as [5]   1 2 2 2 2 1 2 1 ) 0 ( 1 ) 2 ( 1 ) 2 ( 4        c k B k z x           ,(13) where without a loss of generality we have assumed that the B field of the wave is oriented along y direction. We also assumed that the nonlinear corrections to  1 are small, so that we can separate  1 into the constant background value  1 (0) and the weak nonlinear corrections. These nonlinear corrections do indeed look like the Kerr effect assuming that the extraordinary photon wave vector components are large compared to /c: 2 ) 3 ( 2 2 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 1 4 4 B c B k c k B x z              (14) This assumption has to be the case if extraordinary photons may be considered as classic "particles". Unlike the usual "elliptic" optical materials, this assumption is justified by the hyperbolic dispersion relation of the extraordinary photons: 2 2 2 1 2 2 2    y x z k k k c    (15) which follows from eq.(4). Eq. (14) establishes connection between the effective gravitation constant * and the third order nonlinear susceptibility  3 of the hyperbolic metamaterial. Since  2 <0, the sign of  3 must be negative for the effective gravity to be attractive. This condition is satisfied naturally in most liquids, and in particular, in kerosene. Because of the large and negative thermo-optic coefficient inherent to most liquids, heating produced by partial absorption of the propagating beam translates into a significant decrease of the refractive index at higher light intensity. For example, the reported thermo-optic coefficient of water reaches n/T= -5.7x10 -4 K -1 [15]. Moreover, introduction of nanoparticles or absorbent dye into the liquid allows for further increase of the thermal nonlinear response [16]. Therefore, a ferrofluid-based self-assembled hyperbolic metamaterial naturally exhibits effective gravity. The thermal origin of this effective gravity looks interesting in light of the modern advances in gravitation theory [1,2], which strongly indicate that the classic general relativity description of gravity results from thermodynamic effects. As a next step, let us consider the effect of thermal gradients in the ferrofluid on its effective metric. It appears that the extraordinary photons propagating inside the ferrofluid perceive thermal gradients as an effective gravitational field. Indeed, eqs. (1,2) imply that  2 and  1 (which may be understood as the effective metric coefficients g 00 =- 1 and g 11 =g 22 =- 2 of the metamaterial spacetime) depend on the volume fraction of cobalt nanoparticles aligned into nanocolumns by the external magnetic field,which in turn depends on the local temperature of the ferrofluid. Since ferrofluids subjected to external magnetic field are known to exhibit classical superparamagnetic behaviour [17], well established results from the theory of magnetism may be used to calculate . Superparamagnetism is a form of magnetism that is exhibited by magnetic materials, which consist of small ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic nanoparticles. Superparamagnetism occurs in nanoparticles which are single-domain, which is possible when their diameter is below ~50 nm, depending on the material. Since the typical size of magnetic nanoparticles in ferrofluids is ~ 10 nm, magnetic ferrofluids also belong to the class of superparamagnetic materials. When an external magnetic field is applied to an assembly of superparamagnetic nanoparticles, their magnetic moments tend to align along the applied field, leading to a net magnetization. If all the particles may be considered to be roughly identical (as in the case of a homogeneous ferrofluid), and the temperature is low enough, then the magnetization of the assembly is [17]        kT H n T H M   tanh ) , ( ,(16) where n is the nanoparticle concentration, and  is their magnetic moment. Therefore, within the scope of our model of the dielectric response of the ferrofluid (see eqs. (1,2)), we may assume that         kT H T H    tanh ) , ((17)(18)                     kT H g d     tanh 2 1 1 00 (19) The effective spacetime appears to be a Minkowski one if the temperature is low (20) Thus, in the weak field limit the effective gravitational potential (see eq.(10)) is enough, so that   m d kT H              tanh                           1 tanh 1 2 2 00 2 kT H c g c d    (21) (where the value of the effective potential at T=0 is chosen as a reference) and the effective gravitational field G  is T kT H kT H c G                2 2 2 cosh  (22) where we have assumed the external magnetic field H to be constant. Thus, the extraordinary photons propagating inside the ferrofluid perceive thermal gradients in the ferrofluid as an effective gravitational field. This observation correlates nicely with the thermal origin of gravity-like nonlinear optical interaction of the extraordinary light rays due to photo-thermal Kerr effect, which was noted above. Let us consider a linear source of heat q (see Fig.2) placed inside the ferrofluid, which is constant in time and aligned parallel to the external magnetic field H (and therefore it is also parallel to the nanoparticle chains). Let us also assume that the ferrofluid is kept at a constant temperature T 0 . The temperature distribution around the source is defined by the two-dimensional heat conductance equation   q c T T y x p    1 2 2 2 2                    (23) where  is the thermal diffusivity, c p is the heat capacity and  is the density of the ferrofluid. If the linear source of heat is weak enough, so that the temperature-dependent terms in the denominator of eq.(22) may be considered constant, eq.(23) may be rewritten as an equation for the effective gravitational field G  : q q kT H kT c H c G p * cosh 0 2 2 0 2                      (24) which has the form of the Newton law of gravity. As evident from eq.(24), the heat source q plays the role of a gravitational mass. Thus, a linear source of heat parallel to the external magnetic field H behaves as a world line of massive gravitating object in the metamaterial Minkowski spacetime. It is interesting that unlike quantum mechanical derivation based on the holographic principle reported in [2], the Newton law in a ferrofluid arises in a purely classical Boltzmann system. In principle, a similar approach may be applied to other magnetic systems at lower temperatures, where the thermodynamics description becomes explicitly quantum mechanical [19]. However, direct visualization of gravity-like effects in such systems appears to be much more difficult. As far as the strong field limit is concerned (where the temperature may not be considered almost constant) it was pointed out in ref. [5] that at large enough power gravitational self-interaction of the extraordinary rays is strong enough, so that spatial solitons may be formed. These spatial solitons also behave as world lines of compact self-gravitating bodies in the effective 2+1 dimensional Minkowski spacetime. This is not surprising since due to photo-thermal effect solitons may also be considered as linear sources of heat. Moreover, upon increase of the optical power, a spatial soliton may collapse into a black hole analogue [5]. Indeed, in the presence of self-defocusing negative Kerr effect in the dielectric host  d , the wave equation (eq.(5)) must be modified. Assuming a spatial soliton-like solution which conserves energy per unit length W~P/c (where P is the laser power), the soliton width  and the magnetic field amplitude B of the extraordinary wave are related as c P B / 2 2   (25) As a result, eq.(5) must be re-written as                  2 2 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 ) 3 ( ) 0 ( 1 2 1 c y x z c P                              (26) where  1 (0) is  2 / 1 ) 0 ( 1 ) 3 (              c P (27) The critical soliton radius at P=100W was estimated to be ~20 nm [5], which does not look completely unrealistic from the fabrication standpoint. While achieving such critical values with CW lasers seems implausible, using pulsed laser definitely looks like a realistic option since thermal damage produced by a pulsed laser typically depends on the pulse energy and not the pulse power. Another "strong field" situation corresponds to the ferrofluid behavior near the metric signature transition. It appears that "melting" of the effective Minkowski spacetime in such a case may mimic various cosmological Big Bang scenarios. This is not surprising since symmetry breaking in magnetic systems is typically described by the Mexican hat potential. Moreover, such a Big Bang-like behavior may be observed directly using an optical microscope. Indeed, based on eq.(5) and Fig.1(b) it is clear that the factor (- 2 ) plays the role of a scale factor of the effective Minkowski spacetime   2 2 2 2 1 2 ) ( dy dx dz ds       (28) (since according to eq.(19)  1 is positive and almost constant, as plotted in Fig.3(b)). The scale factor of the effective Minkowski spacetime calculated using eq.(18) is plotted in Fig.2 z T T z T T c c       ,(29) where T c is the temperature of the metric signature transition (the  2 =0 point). Since z coordinate plays the role of time in the effective spacetime described by eq.(28), such a temperature gradient η will result in a Big Bang-like spacetime expansion described by the scale factor - 2 (T c -η z) plotted in Fig.3(a). Indeed, as the ferrofluid temperature falls away from the T c boundary at z=0, the spacetime scale factor increases sharply as a function of z. Note that at larger values of m     expansion of the effective spacetime accelerates at lower temperatures. As demonstrated below, this "cosmological" spacetime expansion may be visualized directly using an optical microscope. We should also note that in the case of non-constant z-dependent  1 = x = y and  2 = z the electromagnetic field separation into the ordinary and the extraordinary components remains well defined [20,21]. Taking into account z derivatives of  1 and  2 , eq.(5) becomes                         1 ) ( 1 c z z z z z z y x z                                                                                           (30) Since  1 remains almost constant in a very broad temperature range far from T=0 (as evident from Fig.3(b)) its derivatives may be neglected. If we also neglect the second derivative of  2 , the wave equation for the extraordinary field   =E z may be re-written as                 2 2 0 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 2 2 ) ( 1 c z z y x z                                     (31) It is easy to verify that the latter equation coincides with the Klein-Gordon equation [22] for a massive particle in a gravitational field described by the metric coefficients As demonstrated by Fig.1(c), the alignment of cobalt nanoparticles along the timelike z direction is easy to visualize. Moreover, as demonstrated in [18], visibility of the filaments in such images, which may be assessed quantitatively by Fourier analysis, provides measurements of the relative value of  compared to   . A natural way to study ferrofluid behaviour near the metric signature transition is to gradually reduce the external magnetic field H until the periodic alignment of cobalt nanoparticles begins to disappear. Since thermal and/or magnetic field gradients are unavoidable in such an experiment, a ferrofluid region showing gradual disappearance of filament periodicity across the image is relatively easy to find. A microscopic transmission image of such a region taken using illumination with =1.5 m light is presented in Fig.4(b). The filament periodicity (compare Fig.4(a) and 4(b)) gradually disappears towards the top of the image, which is verified by Fourier analysis in Fig.4(c) (note that the contrast in these Fourier images is internal). The measured dependence of the spacetime scale factor - 2 on the effective time calculated at =1.4 m is shown in Fig.4(d). This wavelength is close enough to the =1.5 m illumination wavelength used in the experiment, while the experimental data for the electromagnetic properties of cobalt [13] may also be used. Calculated values of - 2 are based on the Fourier analysis of smaller regions in Fig.4 Unfortunately, the described analogy between the extraordinary light propagation inside the ferrofluid and the dynamics of massive particles in Minkowski spacetime is in no way perfect. The main difficulty comes from the cross-coupling between extraordinary and ordinary light inside the ferrofluid, which may be caused by internal defects and strong gradients of the dielectric permittivity tensor components. Since ordinary light "lives" in Euclidean space, such a cross-coupling breaks the effective Lorentz symmetry (6) of the system. In addition, such a model is necessarily limited to 2+1 spacetime dimensions. Nevertheless, these limitations notwithstanding, it is interesting to trace the appearance of macroscopic "gravity" (even though imperfect) to thermodynamics of well understood microscopic degrees of freedom of the ferrofluid. In conclusion, we have considered thermodynamics of the effective Minkowski spacetime which may be formed under the influence of external magnetic field in a cobalt ferrofluid. It appears that the extraordinary photons propagating inside the ferrofluid perceive thermal gradients in the ferrofluid as an effective gravitational field, which obeys the Newton law. Unlike quantum mechanical derivation based on the holographic principle reported in [2], the Newton law in a ferrofluid arises in a purely classical Boltzmann system. The effective Minkowski spacetime behaviour near the metric signature transition may mimic various cosmological Big Bang scenarios, which may be observed directly using an optical microscope. Even though the considered model is applicable only to the extraordinary photons, it is quite interesting since it permits both direct theoretical analysis at the level of well-defined microscopic degrees of freedom, and it enables direct visualization of these microscopic degrees of freedom using standard optical tools. wave is parallel to the plane defined by the k-vector of the wave and the optical axis of the metamaterial. Propagation of monochromatic extraordinary is the effective boost. Similar to our own Minkowski spacetime, the effective Lorentz transformations in the xz and yz planes form the Poincare group together with translations along x, y, and z axis, and rotations in the xy plane. Thus, wave equation(5)describes world lines of massive particles (with an effective mass m*=ħ 0 /c 2 ), which propagate in an effective 2+1 dimensional Minkowski spacetime. Note that the components of the metamaterial dielectric tensor define the effective metric g ik of this spacetime: g 00 =- 1 and g 11 =g22 =- 2 . .(31) is reproduced if we also neglect the second derivative terms. (b) (shown by the yellow boxes). The measured behaviour of the scale factor in this experiment corresponds to small values of =1.4 m based on the optical properties of cobalt [13].
