Q: Issue with Drupal-7 Editor I have a problem with Drupal7's text editor. I put an image inside my texts (By CKEditor), and set some styles to the image (For example width or height), and save the post, when I back to edit the post, the styles gone and my image rolls back to the default width and height! See the issue here: A: To make sure that these images will actually also be rendered (when viewing the page), make sure that the "text format" used in the node does allow the img-tag. Typically for a node using the "Filtered HTML", it could well be that the img-tag is not allowed (yet) as one of the available HTML tags. In that case, your HTML code does include an 'img" tag, but when viewing the saved node the image is not rendered (visible). To resolve it, within admin you must enter the img-tag as one of the allowed HTML tags for the text format used in the node. And if the img-tag is already allowed in the filter you're using, then it must be some other tag that is not yet allowed.

Q: How should I cluster items into an ordered collection that makes sense graphically? I've got an an application wherein I will be provided with an unordered collection of items (objects that can basically be represented as rectangles) and need to put them into a larger rectangular shape (a cluster) based off of their physical location. There may be more than one cluster of items, and some items may be in a cluster by themselves. Each item knows which item is to its right (if any) and which item is below it (if any). Thus the items could be placed in a Directed Graph and traversed. How can I display all of the items graphically? If I put the items in a Graph, how should I traverse it? A: This sounds like a good use case for the PR QuadTree: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/QuadTree.aspx A: Well, the best solution I've come up with so far is to use the GraphSharp library, although I haven't yet figured out how to customize the look of the Vertices (items) in the graph.

Maryland County To Churches: Preach Environmentalism And Get A Tax Break Derek Hunter Contributor November 19, 2014 11:30 AM ET Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley made national news last year when he fought to pass and signed a tax bill that levied a tax on Marylanders, businesses and churches for the amount of "impervious surface" they have on their property. Roofs, driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots qualify for the "rainwater remediation fee" to "protect the Chesapeake Bay." Though the O'Malley administration calls it a "fee," it is commonly called the "rain tax" throughout the state. It is wildly unpopular and the promise to fight to repeal the tax was a large factor in Maryland electing Republican Larry Hogan governor this month. Now Prince George's Country is offering a way for churches to avoid paying the tax, which is estimated to be an average of $744 per year for them — preach "green" to their parishioners. So far 30 pastors have agreed to begin "'green' ministries to maintain the improvements at their churches, and to preach environmentally focused sermons to educate their congregations" to avoid being hit with the tax, The Washington Post reports. Prince George's County's Department of Environment director Adam Ortiz told WBAL Radio churches "don't have to preach, per se," that they could avoid the tax if they "provide educational programs to teach them (parishioners) about how to be more sustainable. And to help them engage in grant programs and other way that they can control the runoff from their property." Asked about the concern of government telling churches what to preach to their members, Ortiz said he had no concern over that. "It's an opt-in. It's up to them, if they want to help participate and help clean up the bay, they can opt-in to this program and we can all work together to clean up the bay." "All of us are part of the problem," Ortiz said, "and we can also be part of the solution." Between 30 and 40 additional churches have filed applications to avoid the tax and participate in the program, according to Ortiz. "It's completely voluntary," he said, "and paying this fee is state law." Asked if businesses and private property owners could avail themselves of this program to avoid paying the tax, Ortiz said, "For businesses and private property owners the most important thing is the help control the pollution (rain water), keep it from going into the storm drain, cuz that goes directly into the rivers. So we have a series of grant programs that we're happy to work with private owners on." Ortiz said those programs, particularly for businesses, do not involve talking to employees like churches are required to talk to congregants.

The normally scenic blue skies over a tiny island paradise will soon be darkened as helecopters pour 42 tons of rat poisoning over the land. The reason for all this? Well, Lord Howe Island, 800 miles off the coast of Sydney and considered by many to be one of the most beautiful places in the world, has a rat problem. Island officials are willing to go to great lengths to exterminate the invasive pests, while hoping to avoid any collateral wildlife deaths. Seem a bit drastic? "There is no other solution to eliminate the rats once and for all," says the island's mayor.The rats are thought to have been introduced to the island by boat in 1918, and have since multiplied to unmanageable numbers. According to the WWF, the rats are responsible for destroying five species of birds--making them the biggest threat to wildlife on the island. This is one of the most beautiful places in the world, so we need a detailed plan and result. A similar technique to killing rats on a large scale has been tried before, but never in such a populated region. Helicopters will drop the poison over unpopulated areas, while in developed regions, it will be dispersed by hand, according to a report in the BBC Brasil. To avoid the poison being ingested by wildlife the measure is ultimately aiming to protect, native birds will be captured and caged--along with dogs, cats, cows, and chickens--and transported off the island for a period of 100 days. Children, during the poisoning, will have to be closely monitored by their parents, officials say. The mass rat extermination is scheduled to be carried out in August 2012.

U.S. Banks Signal No V Recovery With Provisions Near 2008 Record admin 2 years ago No Comments https://i-invdn-com.akamaized.net/news/LYNXMPECAA0EL_M.jpg JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) & Co., Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C). and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) & Co. set aside almost $28 billion for bad loans in the second quarter, a mark only surpassed by the last three months of 2008, during the depths of the financial crisis. The total was higher than analysts had expected, with all three lenders saying their economic outlook had deteriorated as the coronavirus continues to rage through the U.S. Even as unemployment surged, stimulus programs have helped individuals stay current on debts and many have taken advantage of payment-deferral options from banks. JPMorgan said delinquencies in its biggest consumer loan categories were down or unchanged from a year earlier, and a majority of credit-card and mortgage customers who got deferrals had still made payments. "This is not a normal recession. The recessionary part of this you're going to see down the road," JPMorgan Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon said Tuesday. "You will see the effect of this recession. You're just not going to see it right away because of all the stimulus." For Wells Fargo, the biggest loan-loss provision in its history led to the bank's first net loss since 2008 and an 80% cut to its dividend. JPMorgan and Citigroup's trading desks seized on huge market swings to deliver record quarters, helping those firms maintain profitability.JPMorgan traders shattered their previous revenue record by more than $2 billion, while Citigroup's 68% jump in fixed-income revenue beat even the most optimistic analyst estimates. The biggest Wall Street firms, after years of questions about whether their trading businesses were permanently broken, have benefited from a roller-coaster 2020. After the pandemic drove stocks into the fastest bear market ever in March, the S&P 500 mounted one of the biggest rallies in nine decades, boosted by stimulus measures and optimism over a swift economic rebound. But even buoyant markets couldn't halt the pain from the new economic reality prompted by the U.S.'s failure to contain the spread of coronavirus in ways other nations have. JPMorgan now expects the unemployment rate to remain above 10% for all of 2020, and fall only to 7.7% by the end of next year. The second-quarter provisions bring the three banks' 2020 total to $47 billion, more than those firms set aside in the last three years combined. Shares of all three companies slipped Tuesday with Wells Fargo down as much as 8.2% in the first hour of trading. The pessimism of banks' forecasts stands in stark relief to the predictions coming out of Washington. The White House has touted a sharp economic bounce, and said it's intact even as the virus surges again and threatens new waves of lockdowns. "I don't see an interruption to the V-shaped recovery," White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow told Fox News on Monday. "If there is one, I'll be honest and factful about it. But at the moment, with our fingers crossed and some prayers, I think we're on track for a very strong second half of the year, probably still 20% growth plus."The strains have yet to show on the consumer side. Citigroup's non-accrual consumer loans fell 7% from a year earlier. JPMorgan's total net charge-offs were almost half what was expected. "It's fair to say right now, given where we are in the crisis, that the relationship between the business cycle and the health of the business sector and the health of the household sector is broken," JPMorgan Chief Financial Officer Jennifer Piepszak said. Loans to companies have started to sour. Wells Fargo's nonperforming assets jumped 22% from the first quarter, largely driven by loans to the oil and gas and commercial real estate industries. The bank boosted its reserve for credit losses by $8.4 billion in the period, with more than three-quarters of the increase coming on the commercial side. Citigroup said its roughly $3.5 billion boost to wholesale lending reserves was partly driven by a slew of credit-rating downgrades. "There's significantly more reserves against non-investment grade names," Citigroup CFO Mark Mason said. "Within that non-investment grade bucket, we've seen a lot of further downgrades." Still, the banks' provisions are more about future pain than anything in current results. New accounting rules have pushed lenders to do more forecasting and try to get ahead of losses before they appear. The three banks increased their reserves by $23 billion, $7 billion more than the previous record. "We're just guessing," Dimon said. "We are prepared for the worst case. We simply don't know." ©2020 Bloomberg L.P.

Shuukan Idol – 3rd time is the charm Edition (July 29 – August 4) August 4, 2019 August 4, 2019 | kame In this week's Shuukan Idol, we have an assortment of MVs from groups such as BiS, Dempagumi.inc, Yurumerumo!, Maison book girl, and more. It's all MVs, so enjoy all of those and more in our 8 highlights of the week! > Akishibu Project dance in a school pool for their refreshing The First Summer MV Summer idol MVs are always packed with activities like playing with sparklers while wearing yukatas, eating a watermelon that's been split with a stick, and dancing in bikinis. The latest lineup from Akishibu Project are taking that formula to show us a rather calm summer release. It's not too complicated, but it's perfect if you want to scratch that "summer time idol" itch. > BiS show off their faces in the trash-packed MV for BiS – Douyara Zombie no Odemashi – It's finally here. The "3rd times the charm" BiS have been faceless for a while now, having not met the 15,000 Twitter follower challenge that Watanabe gave them. Since then, they've been teasing us with a slow trickle of songs and a pixelated version of their latest MV. Well, they've finally met that challenge and just got the release of their uncensored debut MV. Guess what? It's a pile of trash. No, it's not bad, it literally takes place on a pile of trash. > Dempagumi.inc have fun under the sea in the aquatic MV for Bon・De・Festa You can always count on Dempagumi.inc to release something completely random and colorful. We've gone to the prehistoric times and we've gone to the most dangerous place of all: an empty garage lot. Now, we're taking a dive under the sea where fans will be able to see the members wear aquatic-themed outfits and forever have the image of Eimi's face on a turtle burned into their brains. It's a highly recommended MV! > Tamura Meimi sings in the rain for her mellow Butai MV Tamura Meimi is one of those singers that had a relatively successful career as part of ANGERME. She stood out from time to time, but never truly got a chance to shine. Thankfully that changed with her pursuing a fairly successful solo singing/acting career. Her latest MV is a great refresher for those who might have missed her first two singles (me). > SUPER☆GiRLS cheerfully dance in the sun for their NIJI Iro SKY MV and dance in the rain at night for their Jounetsu RUNNER MV SUPER GiRLS are giving us a taste of both worlds for their latest batch of MVs. One shows off the members being all cute and wearing school uniforms, while the other shows the group dancing at night in the rain. They're both pretty passionate and a good taste of what the group is capable of so make sure to give them a watch. > Yurumerumo! beat up a guy at night in the MV for Gachagaki Yurumerumo! are taking us out on a trip at night as we get to see them beat up a couple of guys for taking Ano's guitar. It's the best kind of theme because we get to see justice and also Ano show off her guitar skills. Should you beat up a guy for stealing your guitar? Best to leave that to the police, but do give this MV a watch! > Kikkawa You walks on the beach in the MV for Akatsuki – Yoake – Kikka is one of those singers who is incredibly talented but for some reason she hasn't become as mainstream popular as others. Need some evidence? Her latest MV should convince you. It's a rather emotional release where we get to see her cry in a corner and also walk on a beach, but it's overlaid with an amazing ballad. Kikka perfection at its best. > Maison book girl point at each other in the animated MV for Anshoku no Asa Maison book girl are no strangers to the artistic, but there's always been that limitation of how much weirdness you can do in real life. Well, they're going animated for their latest MV and it's great to see that they're able to add stuff that you normally couldn't. It's an artistic release that is made even better by the song which strangely enough has no xylophones. This week we have Kaze Hikaru Fukurou and their cover of the song Samishii Nettaigyo. The song was an 80's blockbuster song made by the group Wink. I didn't grow up in Japan so I'm not too familiar with the 80's nostalgia that Japanese people feel. But, I do have to admit that I'm a fan of those 80's styled songs. Something about the outfits from that era alongside the endless use of synths is just so catchy. Thankfully we have a song with that vibe to enjoy today and it's from a relatively new group. Yes, Kaze Hikaru Fukurou are here and they're exploiting our nostalgia for profit with their latest release. Thankfully, they've done a magnificent job of it and are giving Wink a perfect tribute. In this MV, we get to see the members walking along with some black silhouettes as they dance to the synth-packed song. Apart from a few additions to make it more modern, we get a pretty faithful recreation of the song, which should please a lot of Wink fans. For those of us who are not too familiar with the group or Japanese 80's, we can at least enjoy the MV for what it is. A tad simple in the theme department, but seeing the members dancing and singing perfectly to the song is a treat. The occasional off-camera looks from Marin (the first girl to sing) are a pretty cute addition, but all other members did pretty well performance-wise. Give it a watch below and make sure to stay tuned for more Kaze Hikaru Fukurou! Samishii Nettaigyo Kaze Hikaru Fukurou For those curious about the original for comparison, or simply to enjoy some of those sweet 80's synths, give it a watch below: Don't stand still! Check out more from Kaze Hikaru Fukurou on CDJapan below: That's it for this week, stay tuned for the next one! Posted in Shuukan Idol < Akishibu Project dance in a school pool for their refreshing "The First Summer" MV SCANDAL share a story of love and hate in the grungy MV for "Fuzzy" >

Hoarder couldn't reach toilet because piles of junk filled her flat Sally-Ann's home was filled with maggots, rubbish and bottles of urine, while cats used bedroom to pee Brett Gibbons (Image: Channel 5) A 47-year-old woman piled up so much junk in her filthy flat she was unable to get to her own toilet. Hoarder Sally-Ann's home was filled with mountains of rubbish, maggots and her own urine in plastic bottles. Her kitchen was filled with maggots and when she ran out of dishes she started eating off paper plates - with the used ones left to pile up. She featured in a Channel 5 documentary, which revealed how her cats used the whole flat as a toilet. Sally-Ann was unable to sleep in her own bed for 13 years until the council moved in to clean up - including wiping out carpet bugs which crawled over her as she slept. It took six days to clean out the flat in Dudley, West Midlands, after neighbours complained, but the mess soon piled up again The Mirror reported. Sally-Ann says her hoarding was triggered by her mother's death and struggling to care for her father. In the Channel 5 documentary, she says: "I couldn't get to the toilet in time because I'd have to climb over all the rubbish so I started urinating in bottles. "The cats were sleeping around me as well and they'd end up messing in certain corners of the bedroom. "I created a hell basically to live in." Sally-Ann is one of an estimated 1.2million hoarders living in the UK. She said: "It's not that I can't throw stuff away it's that I can't be bothered to. I think it began when I moved in on my own. My place used to get untidy anyway, like everyone's does and then all of a sudden I had to put the bin out and I just thought 'oh my god'. "I class myself as a rubbish hoarder. I did read an article that some people who are hoarders in sense of collective are very bright and intelligent people. I'm not saying I am, but there are people who are." She believes her problem began when she moved to her own flat. Specialist cleaners Caz and T return to the flat and are stunned by the mountains of mess. One of them cries: "Sally, Sally, are you s****ing me right now?" They are annoyed that Sally, who did receive counselling and aftercare for 18 months after the first time, had let the filth build up again. After four days they manage to clean out the flat again and make it livable for Sally. She says: "I'm glad after 13 years of waiting I'm here."

Old politicians: The risks of cognitive decline The presidential race "is suddenly becoming the dementia campaign," said John Harris in Politico.com. With Joe Biden, 77, battling Bernie Sanders, 78, for the chance to take on President Trump, 73, "questions about age-related infirmity" are unavoidable. Biden's surge in the Democratic primaries has been accompanied by an uptick in verbal fumbles that have been replayed again and again on Fox News, such as his mangled attempt to recite the Declaration of Independence at a campaign event: "All men and women created by—you know, you know, the thing." Biden has always been gaffe-prone, said Miranda Devine in the New York Post. But the famously capable bloviator is increasingly wedded to his teleprompter. Anyone who's witnessed Biden on the trail this year knows he's suffering "cognitive impairment." He often seems bewildered, can't remember "if he's running for the Senate or the presidency, or even whether it's Super Tuesday or 'Super Thursday.'" "All of this feels very familiar," said Nancy LeTourneau in WashingtonMonthly.com. In 2016, Republicans waged a "disinformation campaign" to paint Hillary Clinton as corrupt, and now they're smearing Biden as mentally incapable. Of course, there's nothing in Biden's medical records that indicates a cognitive impairment. But we do know the former vice president suffers from a stutter, and that the mental effort needed to keep it at bay can result in mangled syntax. If Republicans harp on Biden's blooper reel, said Gail Collins in The New York Times, then Democrats should roll out the footage of Trump's bizarre gaffes. Our president has praised America's Continental Army for "taking over the airports," called his wife "Melanie," and referred to the midterm elections as "midtown or midturn." We could go on, and "before November, I bet we will." Voters are right to worry about a president "going senile in office," said Graeme Wood in TheAtlantic.com. The chief executive faces brutally complex decisions every day, and we've all seen older relatives struggle with "a remote control." But many older Americans have watched a younger relative "flip channels like a madman." Perhaps "the creaky machinery of an aging brain might make a president better at the job." Studies show that older adults "are better at keeping their emotions and impulses in check" and can display judgment superior to that of youngsters. "A leader who is economical in his actions and laconic in his tweets does not sound all that unwelcome right now."

"Neve Campbell to play 1920s star Louise Brooks" Neve Campbell to play 1920s star Louise Brooks April 27, 2004 8:33 PM ET VANCOUVER — Canadian actress Neve Campbell, who recently finished three days of work on Reefer Madness, the musical version of the 1936 cult pot howler being shot here for Showtime, says she's not sure what's next. "I don't really like anything I'm reading," says Campbell, whose younger brother Christian is in the Reefer cast along with Tony winner Alan Cumming and TV's Steven Weber (Wings, The D.A.). "I've optioned a script about Louise Brooks, a silent film actress in the '20s. I'm working on producing that." Brooks, who like Campbell was a dancer and actress, made two dozen movies between 1924 and 1938. She was best known for her trademark Dutch bob hairstyle and as Lulu, the heroine in the erotically charged 1929 film Pandora's Box by German director G. W. Pabst. After sinking into obscurity for decades, Brooks re-emerged as a respected writer in the 1950s. Campbell says she's also producing A Private War, about Tourette Syndrome, an inherited neurological disorder that causes involuntary movements and verbal outbursts, which afflicts her brother Damien. Campbell's When Will I Be Loved, done with writer-director James Toback, is due out in September. Campbell is also awaiting the release of Churchill: The Hollywood Years, where she plays a young Princess Elizabeth in this broad satire starring Christian Slater as a Churchill substitute hired because Hollywood decides the original isn't photogenic enough to win the Second World War. "It's absolutely silly English humour." says Campbell. Reefer Madness, which wraps shooting in June, will air on Showtime next year. Another UC Berkeley research trip Another trip to the periodicals room at the library of the University of California, Berkeley. Scrolled through microfilm of various newspapers, mostly from Mexico and Poland. Found a few advertisements. Also looked through a newspaper from Jerusalem dating from the 1920's. Found advertisements for films playing there, but none were Louise Brooks' films. Seemingly, Jerusalem had only a very few movie theaters, and the films shown were usualy the blockbusters from the United States or Europe. Last trip to San Jose Last trip (for the time being) to the combined libraries of the city of San Jose and San Jose State University, where I went through some more microfilm and even some bound periodicals. Found a few miscellaneous items. Also looked through the Los Gatos Mail News. Bibliography updates Recent additions to the various LBS bibliographies include citations from a bunch of American newspapers. I found Denishawn articles, reviews and advertisements in the Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph, Baltimore News, Peoria Journal, Savannah Morning Press and Lexington Leader. I also dug up some films reviews in the Buffalo Courier Express, Minneapolis Tribune, Hartford Courant, and San Antonio Express. The search goes on! New LBS / Cafepress stuff There are new LBS products available at Cafepress, which can be found at www.cafeshops.com/louisebrooks Check it out. How I love Buster Keaton! I love his films. I love his never smiling face. I love his inventive brilliance. My wife and I own the recently released eleven disc boxed set of DVD's featuring many of Keaton's silent films. We have watched them all. Two excellent books on the actor which I read in rapid succession are Keaton: The Man Who Wouldn't Lie Down, by Tom Dardis, and Buster Keaton: Cut to the Chase, by Marion Meade. I liked each of them a great deal. I read Dardis' book first. It is one of the earliest books on Keaton, and contains a number of quotations by Louise Brooks regarding the "great stone face." (Dardis had interviewed Brooks, and had also corresponded with the actress.) Dardis' book is anecdotal and sympathetic in its telling of Keaton's rise and fall and rediscovery as an actor and film genius. When I was done, I wanted more. That's when I turned to Meade's detailed and thoroughly researched biography. The two books compliment each other. More citations in Bibliography The search goes on for more articles about Louise Brooks. Among the publications I've recently been looking at are the Lexington Herald, Richmond Times-Dispatch, Wheeling Intelligencer, and Selma Times-Journal. I found vintage reviews and articles in each. I also dug up some rare material in the Palm Beach Daily Post on Brooks' appearance as a ballroom dancer in Florida in 1935. Perhaps the most remarkable item I found was a short review of Pandora's Box published in 1929 in Kurjer Polski, a Warsaw newspaper. I would love to find reviews of Pandora's Box from each of the major Eastern European capitals.

The QuWave Divine™ is the answer! Meditation with the 'Divine' can be the answer !!! Want to learn more about your Chakras? Open Your Third Eye? Check out 'You and Your Chakras', the official eBook of the QuWave Divine. The free eBook contains an explanation of the chakras and the human energy system, various meditation techniques, and more inside. Billions of electrical activities are taking place in our brain at the same time. The electrical activity generated by the brain can be measured, and different 'brain states' have been assigned to different brainwave frequencies. Most people live in what's called a Beta state most of the time. This state of mind includes Alertness, Concentration and cognition. To tap into your unlimited, creative, divine, and supernatural power, it is necessary to bring down your brain waves to Alpha, Theta and Delta states. The lower your brain's frequency is, the deeper level of meditation you experience. In such a brain-state, our right and left hemispheres integrate with each other to perform a specific goal. This is also known as 'Whole Brain State'. With the help of the QuWave Divine we can get into this deeper state of our brain much easier. The 'Whole Brain State' can be achieved and the pineal gland can be activated in your brain to perform miracles in everyday life. Scalar Waves produce a secondary field by motion of subatomic particles interacting with Human Aura. These waves can travel far faster than the speed of light and encode the information of space and time into a timeless, space-less quantum shorthand of interference patterns. They can directly interact with your brain energy producing amazing beneficial results. QuWave Products generate these Scalar Waves combined with Solfeggio Frequencies to stimulate your brain and to produce specific results. Solfeggio frequencies are a set of musical tones that were used centuries ago in Gregorian and Sanskrit chants. These chants contained special tones which were believed to impart spiritual blessings during religious ceremonies and used for healing purposes. The precise tuning, the technique and the knowledge about their healing properties were somehow lost over the ages. It was Dr. Joseph Puleo who rediscovered the Solfeggio sounds in the 1970s by finding the frequencies of these unique healing sounds. The interesting thing is that he found these frequencies encoded in the Bible, in the book of Numbers, chapter 7, verses 12-89. He used numerical analysis to unravel the mysterious patterns encoded within these sounds. Each frequency has special mental, physical, emotional and spiritual healing property. Recent studies show that these frequencies are part of a process that can assist you in manifesting a life of your dream without stress, illness, and sickness. It is also discovered that the Solfeggio frequencies are more powerful than any other sound frequencies. So far, the only way to experience the benefits of Solfeggio Frequencies was through sound waves - you would need to listen to these musical tones constantly. This was very limiting because the exposure time was low and required your devoted concentration. Through extensive research and by applying our proprietary engineering technology, we have discovered how to deliver these stimulating frequency waves directly into the brain receptors continuously. We have combined our Scalar Wave Technology with Solfeggio Frequencies and developed a small hand-held device which constantly beams the Solfeggio Frequencies (as well as other stimulating frequencies) directly into your brain at deep cellular level via your Scalar Bio-Field. We generate a high frequency Scalar Wave and modulate it with multiple lower frequency brain stimulating signals. This Scalar Wave is at a very high frequency and is able to directly penetrate into the human nervous system. This maximizes delivery of the lower Solfeggio Frequencies directly into the brain and allows continuous subliminal stimulation day and night, anywhere. Thus the benefits of these frequencies are multiplied by hundreds of times over just listening to musical tones for a short period of time. There are many miracles within us, but they do not manifest, they are hidden behind locked doors. With the QuWave Divine, you can unlock and open the doors to these other Dimensions. Dimensions beyond the time and space continuum. The special Solfeggio Frequencies delivered by our products, can align you with the rhythms and tones that form the basis of the Universe. By exposing your mind and body to the Solfeggio Scalar Bio-Field produced by the QuWave Divine, you can re-establish the connection of the pineal gland (Third eye) and the pituitary body (Crown Chakra), with your Brain's conscious system. In the far past, when man was in touch with the inner worlds, these organs were his means of connecting with the spiritual universe. When that connection is accomplished with the QuWave Divine, you will again possess the faculty of perception into higher consciousness levels. QuWave Divine generates a Solfeggio Frequency Bio-Field which when exposed to an individual can deeply penetrate at the cellular level into the brain and resonate with natural frequencies of the Pineal Glad. Thus, it begins to vibrate at its natural frequency so it is detoxified, uncalcified and activated and subsequently its connection is established with Central Nervous System. In other words, the divine energy inside us is awakened and it is connected with our five senses and we are enabled to look beyond our eyes, hear beyond our ears, communicate beyond spoken words, and feel beyond sensory perception. All things in this world have their own natural frequency which they are most comfortable with. When something is subjected to an external force, that object wants to resonate at its specific frequency - the frequency that is natural to the object. This phenomenon manifests throughout the universe. This natural frequency of a body is known as its "Resonant" frequency, and the phenomenon is known as "Resonance". The Frequencies of QuWave Divine resonate with Pineal Gland and the Pituitary Gland. Together, these will increase your 6th and 7th chakras, and open your Third Eye. Through simple meditation enhanced with the QuWave Divine, you can now open your Third Eye and access your subconscious energy that unites us with Universal Energy and reach Cosmic Consciousness. The Pituitary Gland is the Sixth Chakra located behind the center of our forehead, between our eyes. Therefore, the sixth chakra is often called the Brow Chakra. The pituitary gland is known as the master gland because it acts as a main control center that sends messages to all the other glands and organs and regulates sexual development. The pituitary gland is called the "seat of the mind" with the frontal lobe regulating emotional thoughts such as poetry and music, and the anterior lobe regulating concrete thought and intellectual concepts. This sixth chakra rules our intuition and imagination and is associated with the parts of our consciousness concerned with a spiritual view of life. This chakra is sometimes known as the Home of Spirit, as it has the ability to inform us of the motivation behind actions. Inner vision is also ruled by this chakra. Through meditation we can gain great inspiration and the vision of our purpose and destiny. This chakra rules the expansion of our third dimensional consciousness to encompass our conscious perception of the fourth dimension. This conscious perception of the fourth dimension means that we remember our inner travels, whether they are through sleep or meditation. It also means that we learn how to integrate the inspiration, illumination and knowledge we have gained into our everyday physical lives. When this chakra is clear there are enhanced intellectual and psychic abilities. Our memory is good and our perceptions are accurate. Through our ability to consciously travel into the higher dimensions of our inner reality, our ability to visualize is amplified, our imagination is expanded and we are able to project our visions and imaginations into our outer world. The 6th chakra is known as the brow chakra or third eye center. It is related to the act of seeing, both physically and intuitively. It opens our psychic faculties and our understanding of archetypal levels. When healthy it allows us to see clearly…seeing the big picture. The Pineal Gland is the Seventh Chakra located at the top or crown of the head and thus called the Crown Chakra. The pineal gland is cone shaped and is located in the middle of the brain behind and just above the pituitary gland. The Pineal Gland is known as the "seat of illumination, intuition and cosmic consciousness". It is the site of your Third Eye which is located between your two physical eyes. The metaphysical qualities of the Seventh Chakra include links with the Higher Self, ability to access the Book of Life, and Spirituality. It is the gateway to self-knowledge. The goals of the Seventh Chakra include wisdom, knowledge, consciousness, and spiritual connection. The Seventh Chakra deciphers and decodes the mysteries of life. It links us with the Universe. Most people have calcified Pineal Glands due to deficient and degenerate diets, so it must be awakened through meditation now made so much easier with the QuWave Divine. Through meditation with he QuWave divine we can open our awareness to encompass the fourth dimension up to the threshold of the fifth dimension. Once this chakra is opened, our higher senses are activated and our perceptions of life expand. The 7th crown chakra relates to consciousness as pure awareness. It is our connection to the greater world beyond, to a timeless, spaceless place of all-knowing. When developed, this chakra brings us knowledge, wisdom, understanding, spiritual connection, and bliss. The pineal and pituitary glands work together in a yin-yang harmony. The pineal gland is to the pituitary gland what intuition is to reason. According to meditation and yoga masters, the Pituitary Gland of the Sixth Chakra and the Pineal Gland of the Seventh Chakra must join their essence in order to open the Third Eye. The Solfeggio frequencies of the QuWave Divine work on both which is why you are able to achieve this harmony so much easier without having to do years of meditation. When the pituitary and pineal glands are fully developed and stimulated through meditation upon the sixth and seventh chakras, their vibrations fuse and activate the Third Eye. Once the Third Eye is open we have personal access to higher knowledge. The opened Third Eye is called the "Eye of the Soul". It is said that the joining of the essences of these two glands in the third ventricle is what opens the Third Eye. Shiva yoga is a form of yoga practice which concentrates on awakening the pineal gland. This gland is often dormant because our third dimensional self is usually focused on the outer sensate world rather than the higher spheres. The pituitary gland holds the positive, masculine charge and the pineal holds a negative, feminine charge. When the masculine and feminine energies meet in the brain it is known as the Mystical Marriage. The Mystical Marriage initiates the birth of our multidimensional consciousness and our conscious passage into the fifth dimension and beyond. The feminine earth energy merges with the masculine pituitary gland and the feminine pineal gland receives the masculine non-nmanifest energy from Spirit. When the two awakened chakra essences meet in the third ventricle, there is the union and harmony of spirit into matter as the multidimensional forces of spiritual light merge with the matter of our third dimensional brain. The Third Eye is an etheric, or fourth dimensional, eye. It acts as a sensitive receiver, and transmitter, by which vibrations of many different types can be translated, interpreted and dispersed into our third dimensional brains to gain wisdom and illumination. Through this EYE, inner planes, thought forms, and higher entities are perceived. All eyes need a lens to give meaning to a perceived light sensation, including the Third Eye. The Third Eye's lens is located in our aura, just in front of our sixth chakra. The psychic construction of this lens is part of the discipline that leads to the accurate perception with our inner eye. By using this point in our aura (between our eyes and in the center of our forehead) as a focal point during meditation, we can facilitate the development of our Third Eye's lens. Using this form of meditation also facilitates theta wave consciousness. To view the answers, click on a question, or to see all answers, click on "Show All Answers". What is the difference between QuWave Divine and other QuWave products? QuWave products, generate Scalar Waves combined with (modulated) Solfeggio frequencies. Different products have different frequencies to achieve specific results. The Divine uses 936Hz and 852Hz frequencies. These specific frequencies generate Solfeggio Frequencies which directly stimulate the Pineal Gland and give you access to Spiritual Light. Our other products use different frequencies to produce other desired results by stimulating other energy centers of the body. Should I keep it on when I sleep or I should switch it off? QuWave products don't require any effort from your side. The waves influence your whole being at subconscious level that means below conscious awareness which is also the state of your brain while you are asleep. So we would recommend you keep it on 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Are there any side effect of using QuWave Products? So far, we haven't received reports of any side effects caused by QuWave products. Solfeggio Frequencies are considered spiritual frequencies while Scalar Waves are fastest of everything in this Universe. When these waves are exposed on any living or non living object, they remove materialistic negative energy and make it more positive and energized. Can one misuse the spiritual power which users attain with the QuWave Divine? No. The universe operates within perfect laws. One law is "What you give, you get". So even if someone intends to harm another, he will have put himself in negative vibration first. And eventually that vibration would affect him/her negatively. One of the most important qualities of QuWave Divine is that it brings you into your "Whole Brain State" which is the state of peace, tranquility and calmness. Is it necessary to modify diet somehow when using QuWave? No. It is not necessary to modify your diet in any way when using QuWave products as the products work directly on the frequencies in your brain. What are specific indications of QuWave Divine? QuWave Divine facilitates you in achieving your goal of "enlightenment" as a human being. The benefits which are part of "enlightenment" are awakening intuition, remote vision, remote hearing, astrological prediction, communication with Universal Intelligence, becoming proactive, keeping peace of mind, alignment of chakras and experience your image as the likeness of God. I am experiencing more yawns after using QuWave Divine. This is the indication that QuWave Divine is working for you. More than normal yawns in Energy Psychology/Energy medicine are the symbol that negative energies are leaving your mind and body. Your depression or anxiety might increase initially for a time being and you might need to give your mind and body sometimes to adapt with new frequencies. However, there is nothing to worry about it. All is well with QuWave Divine. Should I stop using QuWave Divine once I am enabled to view or hear remotely, feel complete sense of balance, increase focus and creativity? We highly recommend you to continue use of the Quwave Divine. You will experience progressive and more significant improvement with continuous usage of the Divine. What is the proof of these benefits? Please read testimonials or try it for yourself. All QuWave products come with a 30 day satisfaction guarantee, so if you find no benefits, we willl refund your full purchase price. We have two bodies. One is visible and other is invisible which constitutes chakras, meridians and aura. The invisible body contains information in its electromagnetic field that is responsible for driving our biology. Any physical, mental or spiritual disease is nothing but manifestation of imbalance in energetic fields. This is where the root cause of any suffering is found. Any alternate healing that deals with imbalance in the human energy field is known as Energy Medicine. Isn't it a foolish concept that waves which have no form or shape impact our mind and body? Quantum Physicists have recently proved that everything is energy. To view more questions, click here to visit our F.A.Q. page. The most commonly reported result of QuWave Divine is increased creativity, sense of One-ness with the whole world, devoid of negative emotions, feeling of tranquility and peace and clearer mind. Others report they see angels, can do deep meditations and can hear distant voices, not just as hallucination but in truth after long analysis. Some even claim that they have transcended the 2 Dimensional world and moved in timelessness and spacelessness where there see, hear, taste, touch and speak only divinity. Several experiments have been made with EEG (Electroencephalogram) and MEG (Magnetoencephalogram). Results found that after exposure to QuWave Divine, a person's EEG read lower frequencies below 7 cycles/second which psychologists term as alpha, theta and delta state or 'Whole Brain State'. These are states of brain which are attained with deep meditation. Please be assured we are not just making claims to open up spiritual gates. These are simply personal experience reports we have received from our customers. The only way you can know what kind of healing experiences you will have with the QuWave Divine is to try it yourself. And, you have nothing to loose with our 100% money back guarantee. Please do not put unrealistic expectations on the QuWave Divine. It can be a catalyst for miracles! And it is. I am a 65 year old man and had a fear of death because I am near to it. I was terribly frightened by punishment of hell. Since I have adapted QuWave Divine, I am proud to be an old man. Every day I live my life full of vitality and enthusiasm. And I am curious to contribute significantly. I wish I had QuWave Divine 30 years ago. Bundled Personal and Tabletop Models. Get maximum stimulation in your home & anywhere you go. Choose any three: Harmonizer, Defender, Divine, Relaxer, Law of Attraction Magnet, Amore, Dreamer.

The Eastern Beaches median dwelling price was up 13 per cent in January to $636,000 compared with $563,250 the same time last year, according to Real Estate Institute of New Zealand figures. However, a continuing tight supply resulted ina14percentdropinthe volume of houses sold to 121 from 140 in January last year. Despite this, the Auckland housing market overall has experienced its most active January in five years, says Peter Thompson, managing director of Barfoot & Thompson. "January is always one of our lowest months for new listings, but interest in selling rolled over into January as a result of the excellent prices being achieved pre-Christmas, and our agents have been active since the first business day of the year." Helen O'Sullivan, REINZ chief executive says the Auckland market has been strong over January with the number of days to sell improving. It took 36 days to sell a residential property in Eastern Beaches in January, down 3 per cent from 37 days the same time the year before. Manukau residential price increases are close behind the former Auckland and North Shore cities, up 9.6 per cent over the past 12 months, according to QV figures. Jonno Ingeson, QV research director, says the property market has had a fairly strong start this year, carrying on from activity in late 2012. However, he adds, the lack of properties for sale will continue to constrain sales volumes.

Asheville food service jobs on the rise, but pay stagnant for some Mackensy Lunsford [email protected] ASHEVILLE - It should be no secret if you spend any time in local watering holes and eateries, or even on social media: One of the largest industries in the Asheville area is also one of the lowest-paying. Anecdotal evidence seems to indicate the restaurant industry sustains a large portion of Asheville workers. The latest employment and wage data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics support that claim. The bureau this month released 2015's fourth-quarter wage reports for counties and metro areas, and the findings are sobering, if not surprising. The restaurant industry is the second-largest employer in the Asheville metro area. At the same time, restaurant positions accounted for seven of the 10 lowest-paid positions in the area. ​Dishwashers, who many chefs will tell you are indispensable in terms of keeping the restaurant running smoothly, made an average of $18,660 last year. Some local restaurants are trying to up that average. In downtown Asheville, Blue Dream Curry House starts all front- and back-of-the-house workers at the same rate, with extra bonus incentives in place for most. "The big issue we're trying to address is that kitchen wages have stagnated in relation to server wages," said Chris Cunningham, co-owner of the Patton Avenue restaurant. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has server wages at a mean hourly wage of about $10. But Cunningham said the average wage for servers in restaurants with a higher check average is probably closer to $18 per hour. Most kitchen workers generally make much less per hour, Cunningham said. But under Blue Dream's new system, which eliminates the standard tipping mode and builds employee pay into menu prices, all workers make $18-$20 an hour including bonuses, exclusive of shift meals and paid time off. That's an important number for kitchen workers, who Cunningham said often take jobs as servers to pay for the culinary training they hope can help them reach chef status. Chefs and head cooks earn the most of any restaurant worker according to the bureau, with a mean wage of $41,060 in 2015. Cunningham said he hopes that other restaurants work to find their own system to improve employee compensation, a practice he acknowledges could result in higher menu prices. "Those (menu) prices are artificially low because people aren't taking care of their staff," he said. "And until we as owners figure out what it takes to sell our food and pay our staff, there's going to be this low pay structure that exists." That's also important, as service workers grow in numbers and become the de facto face of the community for visitors. "It's our responsibility to exemplify the value structure we want to have as a city," Cunningham said. Food-service jobs accounted for 23,230 of the 179,650 Asheville-area jobs in 2015, according to The Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's second in number only to office and administrative support occupations, which accounted for 26,270 jobs in the Asheville area. The Asheville metro area added 6,000 jobs in the hospitality sector, which also includes hotels and other service-related jobs, from 2010-15. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicted the hospitality industry would add about 1,500 jobs this year alone. Jobs in food preparation and serving-related occupations accounted for the majority of hospitality jobs. The job growth in part stems from a 17-percent increase in eateries, from 745 to 869, in the county from 2010-15, a time which also saw the number of food trucks increase from 19 to 69. Restaurant workers in 2015 earned an annual mean wage of $20,960, $11,500 below office workers and about $2,360 below the national average for other restaurant workers. Leading earners in restaurant positions include chefs and head cooks, with an annual mean wage of $41,060, followed by first-line supervisors of food-production workers and servers, with $32,630 per year. At the bottom are fast-food cooks, who grossed $17,420, and hosts and hostesses, whose mean annual earnings were $18,160. The good news is that wages are trending up in the Asheville-area hospitality sector — a 31-percent increase from 2005-15. That's a mixed blessing when considering the latest average for hospitality workers, which includes everyone from bellhops and maids to head chefs, is $18,669 annually. Baldor adding 41 manufacturing jobs in Buncombe Asheville metro area jobless rate continues downward trend

I think it is fair to say that this is among the most rare (and most desirable) American classics of the last century. Not only is this model far scarcer even than Florsheim's own Cordovan Full Brogue model, but the best pieces of Horween Shell are reserved for what is, practically speaking, a "wholecut" shoe, that is to say, a shoe who's upper is made from one piece of leather. Unlike the Full Brogue made from several smaller pieces of leather, imperfections cannot be tolerated or worked around in the plain front shoe. Indeed, the piece of leather chosen for this shoe presents a warmth of colour superior to almost any I have seen, even among the other leathers produced by the world's best cordovan tannery, Horween of Chicago; an even textured, close-grained hide of unsurpassed and unsurpassable quality. In brief, in this day and age, this shoe is a great rarity, one that will never come again in this size and condition (new and unused) by Florsheim, the greatest American shoemaker of the 20th century, the premiere purveyor of Shell Cordovan shoes in history, and the grandfather of all modern cordovan shoes, the most sought after shoe in the world. Florsheim's build quality is legendary. The massive oak-tanned channelled double sole, the additional 360 degree "split reverse welt" (the so-called "storm welt") and the heel, armoured with a double row of hand-set nails and tri-angular cleat remain unrivalled even after 40 years. With its soft and inviting lining in buttery tan calfskin glove leather, this is a shoe irreproducible today at this or any price. One last word about scarcity; of this model, the Plain Front Derby (or Blucher) in Shell Cordovan, I have only seen 2 new examples in 10 years. In this relatively large size; none. If this is your size, do not wait for another to come along; this is, as mentioned above, surely the last of its kind. Postage: Innerhalb Deutschlands Euro 6,90; France Euro 14,20; Japan and theFar East Euro 28,10…US $12. US 11.5D .......10.5E UK.....Continental 45D, for the medium width foot. NEW and unworn. In original Florsheim carton and Flannel Travel Bags. Dies ist einer der letzten aus der Produktion der grossen antiken Imperials, circa 1980, noch bevor die Firma aufgelöst wurde. Sollten Sie ein Stammkunde sein, werden Sie höchstwahrscheinlich bereits ein Paar Florsheim Derbys aus Scotch-Grain Ihr eigen nennen. Dieses Derby gearbeitet aus Pferdeleder der weltweit besten Gerberei, Horween/Chicago, zeigt eine Farbtiefe, die durch gutes Polieren sogar noch attraktiver werden wird. Das Stück Cordovan-Leder, das für diesen Schuh ausgewählt wurde, ist von einem fehlerlosen, gleichmässig gekörnten Leder von nicht zu überbietender Qualität. Der moderne Imperial steht er in keinem Vergleich zu diesem historischen Imperial. Ein Blick auf die Sohle und den Absatz genügt, um den Unterschied zu offenbaren. Ohne Übertreibung, ein gigantischer, unverwüstlicher, bis in Ewigkeit haltbarer Schuh, der dennoch mit kleinen Details zum Erfreuen aufwartet. Die Charkteristika der besten Schuhe sind in diesem Meisterstück vereint: "Edge-Binding", "Split Reverse Welt", Doppel-Rahmengenähte Sohle, Handschuhfeines Box-Kalbsleder-Futter. Eine schwer beeindruckende Arbeit der Schuhmacherkunst. Schuhe aus Pferdeleder sind allerbeste amerikanische Tradition und heute sind Allen Edmond und Alden -zwei amerikanische Schuhmacher- die ersten Adressen für modernen Cordovan-Schuhe. Andere (Crockett undChurch's inEngland und Vass, Dinkellacker, Reiter in Deutschland und Ungarn) haben auf die Beliebtheit des Materials reagiert und selbst begonnen Cordovans herzustellen – und haben durchaus einige sehr beachtliche Modelle hervorgebracht. Jedoch unter den Connaisseurs ist Florsheim, mit seinen "eisernen" Imperials, noch immer der beliebteste "Vintage-Klassik"-Hersteller von Cordovan-Schuhen. eine deutsche 45D....(US 11.5D).....(UK 10.5E), für den mittel-breiten Fuss. Neu und ungetragen. In Florsheim-Karton, Florsheim Travel bags.

Hank Williams Jr. Teams With Florida Georgia Line, Jason Derulo for New 'Monday Night Football' Theme Hank Williams Jr. is returning to ESPN for Monday Night Football, and he's bringing all of his rowdy friends with him. Hip-hop artist Jason Derulo and country duo Florida Georgia Line will help Williams Jr. revive "All My Rowdy Friends Are Here on Monday Night," the country icon and the TV network announced on Wednesday (June 7), bringing the theme song back after a six-year hiatus. "I started in 1989, when ABC was celebrating the 20th season of Monday Night Football," Williams Jr. says in a press release. "It soon became a staple that fans grew to expect and wanted to see and hear. I am thrilled to be back and bring the fans such a new and dynamic rendition of this anthem. Are You Ready for Some Football? 'Cause I sure am!" Williams Jr.'s Monday Night Football theme song earned the artist four Grammy Awards between 1991 and 1994, and created a cult following. "We all grew up watching Monday Night Football, and it's surreal to join Jason Derulo and Hank Williams Jr. on this new version that gives a nod back but also a step forward!" says FGL's Brian Kelly. Adds Tyler Hubbard, "This is a huge honor to be a part of such a legendary song and night!" Country Stars Who Played Football The new, collaborative version of "All My Rowdy Friends Are Here on Monday Night" will debut on Sept. 11, the opening night of MNF. "It's truly momentous to be featured in the Monday Night Football anthem for the upcoming season," Derulo says. "I feel the opening song sets the tone and energizes the fans before kickoff, and this year I'm putting my swag on it." In 2011, following more than two decades of working together, ESPN and Williams Jr. ended their relationship after Williams Jr., during a TV appearance, said that then-President Obama's golf game with then-Republican House Speaker John Boehner was "one of the biggest political mistakes ever … like Hitler playing golf with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu!" ESPN Senior Vice President of Events and Studio Production Stephanie Druley is prepared for some backlash as a result of Williams Jr.'s return to Monday Night Football, but "not concerned" about it. "It was the right time," Druley adds. "We discussed it internally, and it was just the right time to bring him back." You Think You Know Hank Williams Jr.?

North American Division Map Unity in Mission NAD Brand Guidelines NAD Headquarters Hope and Wholeness Ministries and Services NewsPoints Stories and Commentaries Adventist Journey Check English NAD NewsPoints Stories & Commentaries Fresh Produce Giveaway Lays Foundation for "Friendship Evangelism" NAD headquarters continues to build relationships with its community through practical outreach. April 16, 2018 | Columbia, Md. | Mylon Medley Neighbors of the North American Division headquarters in Columbia, Maryland, are given bags of fresh, donated produce during the spring giveaway on April 8, 2018. Photo by Pieter Damsteegt Thousands of pounds of spinach, kale, mango slices, and bananas were distributed at the North American Division (NAD) headquarters to residents in need on Sunday, April 8. Responding to advertisements placed on Facebook, shared with students in local public schools, and posted in a nearby food bank, approximately 125 people filled reusable grocery bags provided by Adventist Community Services (ACS) with fresh greens. "We have a high school group that donates pantry canned goods, but we don't get the fresh vegetables. So, this is an excellent opportunity," said Edwinda Qualls, a resident of Parkview Senior Complex. The giveaway was organized by the NAD Public Affairs and Religious Liberty department, which arranged for 25,000 pounds of food to be donated from grocery stores. Representatives of ACS and NAD administration were also among the dozens of volunteers who assisted during the outreach. "We made a promise that the building would be used for mission to reach the community," said Dan Jackson, NAD president. "But this is an unexpected surprise. We had no clue we could get a hold of [this much] food that we could give to the community." Boxes are moved to distribution tables during the NAD spring 2018 fresh produce giveaway. Photo by Pieter Damsteegt Unexpected outcome The team was left with one-third of the food by the time the distribution ended. This was in stark contrast to the previous food giveaway last November when the available 17,000 pounds of food ran out before the event ended due to the large turnout. However, this year's predicament created another opportunity. Organizers of the giveaway donated food to a local food bank, and the county's Grassroots Crisis Intervention Center. Volunteers were also encouraged to take some of the leftover food to share with their neighbors. "Volunteers responded positively, it really turned into friendship evangelism," said Melissa Reid, associate director of NAD Public Affairs and Religious Liberty. "God showed us that He doesn't always work in the same way, He just wants us to be consistent when it comes to our willingness to supply the needs of others." Health Support System NAD also partnered with Howard County General Hospital (HCGH) to offer visitors access to its Journey to Better Health program, which offers comprehensive health education through faith-based organizations. NAD employees help distribute fresh fruits and vegetables during the produce giveaway on April 8, 2018. Photo by Pieter Damsteegt "It's about empowering self-management," said Tara Butler, HCGH population health coordinator. One of the goals of Journey to Better Health is to help keep those prone to chronic diseases out of the hospital. According to Butler, it's easy for patients to feel overwhelmed when it comes to tending to their health. Journey to Better Health addresses this need by offering individualized guidance. "We all need the support of others, this provides a good support system and promotes awareness," said Janet Farquharson, who participated in the giveaway and health screening. "Everyone was nice and pleasant. They gave 100 percent and more." NAD Honors Historic Promotion of an Adventist Chaplain Serving in the U.S. Air Force Adventist Chaplaincy Ministries of the North American Division recognized Chaplain John Elliott of the United States Air Force on July 3, 2019, for his recent promotion to colonel.

Music both conveys and evokes emotions, and although both phenomena are widely studied, the difference between them is often neglected. The purpose of this study is to examine the difference between perceived and induced emotion for Western popular music using both categorical and dimensional models of emotion, and to examine the influence of individual listener differences on their emotion judgment. A total of 80 musical excerpts were randomly selected from an established dataset of 2,904 popular songs tagged with one of the four words "happy," "sad," "angry," or "relaxed" on the Last.FM web site. Participants listened to the excerpts and rated perceived and induced emotion on the categorical model and dimensional model, and the reliability of emotion tags was evaluated according to participants' agreement with corresponding labels. In addition, the Goldsmiths Musical Sophistication Index (Gold-MSI) was used to assess participants' musical expertise and engagement. As expected, regardless of the emotion model used, music evokes emotions similar to the emotional quality perceived in music. Moreover, emotion tags predict music emotion judgments. However, age, gender and three factors from Gold-MSI, importance, emotion, and music training were found not to predict listeners' responses, nor the agreement with tags.

Walmart, NVIDIA Discuss How They're Working Together to Transform Retail July 11, 2019 by Brian Caulfield Walmart's the biggest retailer on Earth. It's also one of the most competitive technology companies around. Two of its sharpest tech tools: NVIDIA GPUs and RAPIDS data science software. Speaking at the VentureBeat Transform conference in San Francisco on Thursday, Walmart Chief Data Officer Bill Groves discussed Walmart's data processing and machine learning ecosystem. "The paradigm has flipped, now we have things available to us that we never had," Groves said in a conversation with Josh Patterson, NVIDIA's general manager for data science, noting that, in the past, data scientists didn't have access to the computing power to put ideas like neural networks to work. "GPUs are going to make technologies like that available to us and we're going to solve a lot of problems," he added. One of his key tools: NVIDIA RAPIDS. The open-source suite of GPU accelerated libraries helps Walmart tear through their massive-scale data analytics and machine learning. "This is data science everyone coming out of college knows, we just want to scale it, put it on GPUs," Patterson said. "We're enabling them to do more, more quickly." Groves' team pairs RAPIDS with two other technologies, Dask and XGBoost. They use Dask, a library for parallel computing in Python to scale out data science workloads. They also use XGBoost, a popular machine learning algorithm, to train their machine learning models on servers equipped with multiple GPUs. The result of this combination: Groves' team can crunch data at speeds 100-times faster than traditional methods. Technology industry analyst Maribel Lopez, left, moderated a conversation between Wal-Mart's Bill Groves, center, and NVIDIA's Josh Patterson. That's key for Walmart. From product forecasting to supply chain management and predicting consumer buying trends and last-mile delivery, machine learning algorithms help Walmart serve their more than 265 million weekly customers even better. Today, Walmart is using the technology for product forecasting of more than 500 million store-item combinations each week, Groves explained. "More compute power allows us to bring in more data and get better faster," Groves said. It's simply retail 101 that events like weather and local sporting events, drive sales, he explained. GPUs give his team the computing power to harness data about such events. "So when the customer comes in the product they want is sitting on the shelf," Groves said. "That's what we're always working towards." Going forward, Walmart plans to expand the technology to other use-cases – including supply chain, logistics, merchandising, and other in-store and eCommerce functions. Working together, Walmart and NVIDIA can integrate cutting-edge GPU technologies sooner. That gives Walmart a first mover advantage, saves them money, and steers development and optimization to meet specific use-cases. "We can't build everything, nor do we want to," Groves said. "We really want to build this foundation, this platform, to let this next generation of data scientists solve these problems." For NVIDIA, collaborating with Walmart lets it test its tools and technology against real-time production data from the world's largest retailer – at a scale unlike any other. "Having this team really allows the ecosystem to grow really quickly, and also ensure we have useable software," Patterson said. Improved Product Forecast Accuracy So far, Grove reports they've seen a significant improvement in product forecast accuracy – which requires only four hours to run models that would take several weeks on CPUs. And one GPU server requires only four percent of the time needed to run the same forecasting models vs a 20-node CPU server, Groves explained. Without that power, data scientists had to "dumb down," their algorithms so they would run fast enough. No longer. "GPUs allow us to do things we couldn't do before," Groves said. That translates into less idle time for Walmart's data scientists. So they can test more new features and reduce development cycles, Groves said. "Math and science hasn't changed in 30 to 50 years," Groves said. "What has changed is the technology that enables it, so that we have opportunities that we didn't have until recently." The result: Walmart gets more computing power at a lower cost and with less environmental impact. All for efforts that result in more choices and lower prices for the millions of consumers who shop at Walmart every day. Categories: Data Center

She just can't bear the excitement! Adorable giant panda cub falls asleep during her grand debut at a Malaysian zoo A Malaysian zoo has proudly presented a three-month-old panda cub to the public for the first time The little girl, who is as yet unnamed, was born at Kuala Lumpur's National Zoo on August 18 Her parents are two Giant Pandas which were given to the country on loan by China The little girl will be on display for an hour a day and is expected to attract huge crowds of adoring fans By Lucy Thackray for Daily Mail Australia A Malaysian zoo has proudly presented a three-month-old panda cub to the public for the first time and although excited fans were captivated by the incredibly cute creature, the little girl couldn't stay awake for her hour long debut. Zoo keepers are preparing to keep the crowds at bay as they swarm to see the adorable creature, who appears to be very unphased by the attention. The unnamed Giant Panda cub will be exhibited to the public for an hour a day from 2.30pm after her first appearance on November 17 at Kuala Lumpur's National Zoo. The incredibly cute cub was born on August 18 and weighs 5.6 kilograms, according to Malaysia Online. Although she can now crawl, the sweet little girl is mostly inactive and loves a nap, although excited animal lovers will undoubtedly be captivated by her every tiny movement. This adorable unnamed female giant panda cub will be shown to the public for an hour a day from November 17 at a Kuala Lumpur zoo She was only shown to the crowd for an hour on her grand debut but even that was too much as the panda took a snooze The three-month-old girl was naturally conceived and born at Kuala Lumpur's National Zoo after her parents were loaned to Malaysia The little girl will be taken to China from Malaysia after her second birthday, whereas her parents have been loaned to Malaysia for 10 years The cub was born to father Xing Xing and mother Liang Liang, who have been loaned to Malaysia by China in a symbolic gesture to commemorate 40 years of diplomatic ties between the two nations. The little girl cub will be taken to China from Malaysia after her second birthday, whereas her parents have been loaned to Malaysia for 10 years. The birth was unexpected as zookeepers were not entirely certain the mother panda Liang Liang was pregnant, according to the IB Times. The birth was unexpected as zookeepers were not entirely certain the mother panda Liang Liang was pregnant Although she can now crawl, the sweet little girl is still inactive – although excited animal lovers will undoubtedly be captivated by her every tiny movement It was an incredible achievement for the two pandas to procreate naturally in captivity so quickly outside of China, as it would typically take eight to nine years and most conceptions in captivity are through insemination The mother Liang Liang has been described as very motherly, immediately licking and caring for the baby as soon as she was born The little panda was shown to the public for the first time on November 17 and was a ridiculously cute sight in the company of toy pandas The little girl is inactive but zookeepers are preparing for huge crowds as she is shown to the public for the first time for just an hour a day It was an incredible achievement for the two pandas to procreate naturally in captivity so quickly outside of China, as it would typically take eight to nine years and most conceptions in captivity are through insemination. The adult pandas, who were named Fu Wa and Feng Yi when they arrived in Malaysia, will remain in Kuala Lumpur for 10 years as part of the Malaysia-China Giant Panda International Conservation Agreement.

New Orleans is known for food. Even the smallest cafe will offer a delicious gumbo or blackened steak. But most well known, when it comes to delicious Creole food, is the Brennan family and it's famous restaurant, Commander's Palace, in the city's Garden District. Knowing how I love Commander's I did a bit of research and found Cafe Adelaide. Cafe Adelaide is a sister restaurant to Commander's. Owned by the same family members. Named after their aunt, Adelaide, it is a tribute to her joie de vivre and her habit of always looking on the bright side and living the good life. The restaurant is located on the main floor of the Loew's Hotel at the corner of Poydras and St. Peter, just across the boulevard from the famous French Quarter. When you visit the Cafe on the weekend you'll want to don your best hat! Entering into this fine eating establishment with your fanciest chapeau will provide you a choice of free signature martinis to accompany your meal. The menu clearly says a limit of three (cause that's enough!). Aunt Adelaide loved fine food and libations, she would certainly be pleased! I am a brunch lover so having heard of Cafe Adelaide's "Brunch With Hat-itude!" I had to learn more. I was not disappointed. Chef Carl has put together a menu of such delectable items it's enough to make a foodies head spin! His take on corndogs, made with whole Gulf shrimp and Tasso, served on a pool of five pepper jelly with pickled okra garnish is simply heaven! You might also find paradise in The Boucherie Biscuit. A light as air buttermilk biscuit split and topped with shredded braised pork shoulder, topped with two poached eggs, Andouille country gravy and a generous dollop of Creole slaw. When you visit Cafe Adelaide you'll find out for yourself! The menu is full of so many delicious options it may be hard to choose. Have more than one or share with that special someone! Did anyone mention dessert? Lift me up to the heavens! A delectable Meyer lemon trifle topped with homemade candied ginger ice cream…. A luscious dense chocolate brownie with freshly made coconut sorbet….. Or the Cafe's fabulous cheesecake, made with their very own Creole cream cheese, drizzled with a bit of blackberry liqueur and garnished with the berries themselves. You have to save room for dessert, don't even think of leaving without it. My trip to Cafe Adelaide was memorable leaving me longing to go back for more! Aunt Adelaide is surely smiling down from a fluffy cloud, wearing one of her signature fur coats. Or maybe she's wandering through the tables, with a wink and a smile as she delights in seeing diner's enjoy this wonderful eatery named in her honor.

Scientists theorize that Saturn has a terrestrial core surrounded by a layer of metallic hydrogen that gradually turns gaseous in the planet's upper atmosphere. Wind speeds within parallel "belts" of storms on Saturn are three times faster than on Jupiter, though they don't appear to be as volatile. Like Jupiter, the atmosphere rotates quickly on it's axis and at different speeds at the poles than near the equator. Saturn was first explored in the 1980's when Pioneer 11 and Voyager 1 and 2 returned images of the icy comets and frozen moons balanced within the gravitational field of this massive planet. The bright rings of Saturn make the planet the most recognizable in the solar system. They revolve at high speeds around Saturn's equator, expanding 200,000 kilometers in width yet only 90 meters in height. NASA scientists discovered that the particles within Saturn's rings are mostly space dust, rock, and ice; the remnants of a large comet or possibly a small moon that disintegrated and became locked into a stable orbit around the planet, much the way the moon revolves around the earth. When the Cassini orbiter arrived in 2004, scientists could discern that the rings are actually divided into narrower bands with gaps in between, each consisting of material grouped together by size and density. The icy rings reflect sunlight and are more luminous than Saturn itself. The Cassini-Huygens mission was a joint endeavor of NASA, the ESA, and the ASI that began in 1997. The Huygens lander safely touched down on Saturn's largest moon, Titan, in 2005, providing scientists with valuable information about the habitability of the distant solar system. After 20 years, the mission was completed on September 15, 2017, and the Cassini orbiter was placed on a pathway of destruction and continued to transmit images before breaking apart in Saturn's hostile atmosphere. Saturn's Largest Moon, Titan When Titan was explored by the Huygens lander in 2005, the spacecraft discovered a hazy atmosphere containing 98% nitrogen with trace amounts of hydrogen and methane. Hydrocarbon lakes in the northern and southern hemispheres could be contributing to a weather system similar to earth's, with methane "rains" that storm down into lakes and rivers, shaping the geology of Titan. The magnetosphere around Saturn isn't as large as that of Jupiter's, but it similarly encompasses its nearest moons, protecting them from the solar winds The 62 moons of Saturn range from the giant Titan, to numerous small and irregular shaped moons, and even pairs of moons that are on the same orbital path.

Review: The Perks of Being a Wallflower Ethan Reviews October 16, 2012 Outcast trio Charlie (Logan Lerman), Patrick (Ezra Miller) and Sam (Emma Watson) form the likable center of Stephen Chbosky's warm-hearted adaptation of his own novel. Back when I graduated high school, there was something that irked my fast-emerging inner film snob. Much as I was enjoying discovering Ingmar Bergman and Alfred Hitchcock and Akira Kurosawa, there wasn't really anything I could relate to in their movies. I was not (and still am not, I'm pretty sure) a depressed Swede questioning his belief in God, nor a falsely accused businessman having an affair with an ice-cool blonde, nor a samurai. I was just a kid in his late teens, a period of adolescence that has sunk many a well-intentioned filmmaker. Sure, there are plenty of great high school movies out there: "The Breakfast Club," "Dazed and Confused," "Rushmore," "Brick," to name a few – but all of them were too dated, too quirky, too mannered to really resemble the high school experience that I recognized, and was still trying to process. For a while I toyed with the idea of just writing the Great American Teen Movie myself. That's probably too grandiose a title to attach to "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," but dammit, it pretty much is exactly what I wanted to make. Written and directed by Stephen Chbosky (based on his own best-selling novel), "Perks" does a wonderful job of capturing high school in its entirety: rather than focusing on the madcap humor or the desperately awkward process of maturity, Chbosky throws it all together into one great confused jumble. After all, isn't that what adolescence really is – a giant confused hurricane of emotions, which are often indistinguishably positive or negative but indiscriminately strong. At the eye of this particular storm is Charlie (Logan Lerman), a slightly dorky and shy freshman. It's obvious that Charlie is in some way damaged – in the surprisingly unobtrusive narration, he makes oblique references to a previous mental breakdown and possible hallucinations – but the source of his issues is not immediately apparent. That he is obviously bright, observant, and a perfectly pleasant conversationalist makes his isolation at school all the more distressing; it doesn't seem to be his character that has shunted him aside, but circumstance. Which makes it all the more fitting, of course, that an equal spasm of chance ends up nudging his life back in the opposite direction. While attending one of the school's football games, Charlie works up some nerve and sits next to Patrick (Ezra Miller), a friendly, outgoing senior from his shop class. That Charlie even bothered to go to a football game by himself is a rather pitiful cry for help, and Patrick, clearly savvy at picking up hidden signals, takes this lonely kid under his wing without a thought. Miller, who was previously seen as Tilda Swinton's disturbed, anti-social son in Lynne Ramsey's "We Need To Talk About Kevin," could hardly be playing a more different role. Charlie is then introduced to Patrick's half-sister Sam (Emma Watson), and we can immediately see the usual romantic machinations starting to grind. But Chbosky recognizes that unrequited crushes are simultaneously the easiest to spot and the easiest to ignore; abstract adoration is not something teenagers are really equipped to handle, which is unfortunate considering they're also the most prone to fall under its spell. Charlie and Sam dance around each other, but there's no great, cathartic consummation of Charlie's desire; how can there be, when what he's in love with is as much an idea as a girl. It's that swirling sense of self-definition, of the attempt to make something out of concrete out of a lot of feelings and wishes and thoughts, that "Perks" nails. There's a running motif of mix tapes and music throughout the film, which is a cliché of teen movies, but Chbosky gets the kernel of truth behind it: music is often our first encounter with what I call the "History Boys" moment, those times when you find a piece of art that expresses a thought or idea you had previously considered totally unique to yourself. Charlie listens to The Smiths and attends screenings of the Rocky Horror Picture Show and avidly consumes every book given to him by his friendly English teacher (Paul Rudd); Sam says it's because he has good taste, but it's more that he has an overwhelming urge to figure out who he is. It's an urge that Charlie shares with the audience, and Chbosky very methodically doles out crucial pieces of information about his protagonist to slowly reveal a history of trauma. This is possibly where "Perks" suffers the most – by handing a litany of past suffering to not only Charlie, but Patrick and Sam as well, Chbosky risks alienating much of the audience by implying that social outcast status goes hand-in-hand with abuse. Luckily, the acting ensemble is universally grounded and believable, keeping "Perks" from careening off into after-school special territory. Miller's the stand-out, putting up a grand, hilarious facade with just a few heart-breaking moments of pain leaking through – but Lerman is also a big surprise. Nothing in "Percy Jackson & the Olympians" could prepare him for the emotional heavy-lifting here, but he navigates everything from nervous breakdowns to the requisite "first time getting high" scene nimbly. Watson is serviceable, but does little to indicate that she's learned anything from all those British acting legends in the Harry Potter series. Meanwhile, Mae Whitman (her?) is wonderful as a second, undesired romantic option for Charlie, and I'm not sure what pheromone Paul Rudd exudes that always makes you want to be his best friend, but there it is. High school is a very strange time. Every little conflict seems so drastically important, yet so often those "deep" grudges and hopeless crushes can disappear in a couple weeks. We inevitably look back on these experiences as funny stories, but in the moment they can feel so crushingly real. You don't necessarily need friends in order to make it through the madness, but boy it makes it easier when there's someone you can go off the leash with. "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," like "ParaNorman" a while back, is fundamentally optimistic about adolescence, and a great film to let contemporary teenagers know that, even when it comes to characters up on the silver screen, they are not alone. Now playing in theaters. Verdict: 3 1/2 out of 4 stars Previous Post This Year's Oscar Host Will Be… Stewie Griffin? Next Post Review: Looper One thought on "Review: The Perks of Being a Wallflower" Very sweet review. 🙂 Though now I have to see it just for Egg.

Well, not much to add, except that I've now got the bearings, disc brakes, axle bar and steel for the frame of the Timberwolf. Now looking around for donor parts for the 20" front wheel and for the frame hinge. I've now finally got my lathe, so might end up making the frame hinge from scrap. And it's summer here as well! Just scored a decrepit 20" bike for the front wheel. And in doing so, discovered the local Green Bikes workshop, run by a guy with years of experience building all sorts of bikes and trikes! Now very motivated and will post some progress shots shortly.

English spelling can at times, be particularly difficult, even for those who have a strong command of the language. Words tend not to be phonetic and so guessing the spelling of tricky words will usually not get you anywhere. Many of us can identify an extensive amount of words easily just by hearing them or seeing them written down but when asked to spell them we often struggle. Furthermore, the increased usage of text talk and internet abbreviations also allow our brains to take a spelling vacation. With spell checkers built into almost everything it's very easy to become reliant and even ignorant. If not dealt with these ugly mistakes can rear their heads in the most inconvenient or even embarrassing moments. Once you have written a text in English how can you make sure the spelling is correct? Follow these top 5 tips to ensure that you pick up on your errors and don't make them again. "Proofread." Sounds too obvious but it is such an important step. The trick is to not just simply glance it over straight after writing. If you have time take a small break from that specific text, maybe start on something else and write a reminder to return to it after half an hour. Print it off and read it aloud to yourself. By seeing and hearing it in a new dynamic, mistakes that were previously glazed over will become more apparent. You may not have the luxury to follow this process for every text you write, for example, emails that need to be sent quickly. In this case read it over but mix up the order (start reading bottom to top) so that your brain doesn't jump to conclusions and skim over errors. "Get someone else to proofread it." It is possible to read the same text over and over using many different methods and still not notice that one tiny mistake. There's no way around it, but another person will notice different things within the exact same text, especially if they are not the author. Newspaper or magazine articles will be passed over many pairs of eyes before they make it to the shelves. Don't have anyone on hand or don't want to bother your colleagues every ten minutes? Use eAngel... a professional proofreading service that utilizes real people to check and correct your text quickly and efficiently. "Double check your spell check." Spell checker, while it can be extremely convenient at times, is not the ultimate solution and will not always be right. Blindly clicking on all suggestions that pop up might not be helping you as you assume it is. Some words may have been spelled correctly although used in the wrong context and so missed by your computer. For example, "the college principal" and "the college principle" have completely different connotations, although sound exactly the same. "Learn from your corrections." Mistakes can often be easy to correct without actually paying attention to what has been corrected. Try to learn the right spelling of words that you tend to misspell by writing them down. Stick them around your house if you are struggling to remember, seeing them over and over will help them to become ingrained. Turn off the predictive texting on your phone so that you are forced to engage your brain when writing everyday messages. You will find that over time you have less mistakes to correct when proofreading your more important texts. "Be consistent." Very important! Make sure that your spell check dictionary is set to the correct language, and regional variation. Don't start writing in UK English and then halfway through use the American version of 'color', for example. If you don't have the eye to spot these differences yourself, make sure that spell check is set to pick up on them for you. Probieren Sie unseren Korrekturlesen-API-Service aus!

BEIJING (Reuters) – China's first science fiction blockbuster, "The Wandering Earth", has raked in 3 billion yuan ($443 million) in ticket sales in less than 10 days, putting it on track to become the country's highest-grossing film. Based on a story by author Liu Cixin, the movie about a group of Chinese astronauts trying to save the world from the orbit of an unstable sun premiered on Feb. 5, the first day of the Lunar New Year holiday. "It's a genre that most Chinese people have never seen, and it really touched people," said Wu Jian, a Beijing-based film analyst with Alibaba Pictures, adding that the film drew families into cinemas during the traditional reunion period. Figures posted on Thursday on the film's official account on China's Twitter-like Weibo show the sales were reached in 9 days and 16 hours, which analysts and media said broke a record of 10 days and 15 hours set by "Wolf Warrior 2". The patriotic Rambo-style "Wolf Warrior 2" is China's highest-grossing movie, hitting 5.7 billion yuan in box office sales last year. Analysts forecast ticket sales of "The Wandering Earth" could hit 5 billion yuan or more, with Wu saying it had grabbed eyeballs from comedies such as Ning Hao's "Crazy Alien", Stephen Chow's "The New King of Comedy", and Han Han's "Pegasus". The film also figured in China's foreign ministry briefing this week. "I know the hottest movie now is 'The Wandering Earth', I don't know if you have watched or not, I'd recommend it," spokeswoman Hua Chunying said, while replying to a query about a film whose premiere was canceled. Movie box office revenue in China rose 9 percent last year to 61 billion yuan, a slower pace than the year before, as the government cracked down on tax evasion in the industry and tightened rules on content.

Шестицили́ндровый дви́гатель — поршневой двигатель внутреннего сгорания с шестью цилиндрами. Рядный шестицилиндровый двигатель Рядный шестицилиндровый двигатель — конфигурация двигателя внутреннего сгорания с рядным расположением шести цилиндров, порядок работы цилиндров 1-5-3-6-2-4, и поршнями, вращающими один общий коленчатый вал. Часто обозначается R6 (от немецкого «Reihe» — ряд), I6 или L6 («Straight-6», «In-Line-Six»). Плоскость, в которой находятся цилиндры, может быть строго вертикальной или находиться под определённым углом к вертикали. Во втором случае двигатель иногда называют Slant-6 (/6). В теории I6 в четырёхтактном варианте является полностью сбалансированной конфигурацией относительно сил инерции разных порядков поршней и верхних частей шатунов (силы инерции 1-го порядка разных цилиндров взаимно компенсируют друг друга так же, как и у рядного четырёхцилиндрового двигателя, но, в отличие от последнего, силы инерции 2-го порядка также взаимно компенсируются), сочетая сравнительно невысокую сложность и стоимость изготовления с хорошей плавностью работы. Такую же сбалансированность демонстрирует и V12, работающий как два шестицилиндровых двигателя с общим коленчатым валом. Однако на малых (холостых) оборотах коленчатого вала возможна некоторая вибрация, вызванная пульсацией крутящего момента. Рядный восьмицилиндровый двигатель, помимо полной сбалансированности, демонстрирует лучшую равномерность крутящего момента, чем рядный шестицилиндровый, но в наше время применяется очень редко из-за целого ряда иных недостатков. Двигатели конфигурации I6 широко использовались и продолжают использоваться в настоящее время на автомобилях, автобусах, тракторах, речных судах. На легковых автомобилях в последние десятилетия, в связи с повсеместным распространением переднего привода с поперечным расположением силового агрегата, и вообще компоновочных схем с более «плотной» организацией подкапотного пространства, более популярны оказались V-образные шестицилиндровые двигатели как более компактные и короткие, хоть и более дорогие, менее технологичные и сбалансированные. Вместе с тем, отдельные производители не спешат отказываться от рядных шестицилиндровых моторов. Яркий пример — BMW. Более того, современные технологии позволяют создать достаточно компактный рядный шестицилиндровый двигатель даже для поперечной установки, правда, на достаточно крупном автомобиле — примером такого силового агрегата служит Volvo S80 с передним приводом и поперечно установленной 2.9 литровой рядной «шестеркой». На соплатформенном Volvo XC90 такой двигатель сопрягается с муфтой, что обеспечивает кроссоверу с поперечным рядным шестицилиндровый двигателем возможность подключения полного привода. Максимальный рабочий объём рядных шестицилиндровых двигателей практически не ограничен и на судовых дизелях может достигать 1820 дм³ на один цилиндр. V-образный шестицилиндровый двигатель V-образный шестицилиндровый двигатель — двигатель внутреннего сгорания с V-образным расположением шести цилиндров двумя рядами по три, и поршнями, вращающими один общий коленчатый вал. Часто обозначается V6 (англ. «Vee-Six», «Ви-Сикс»). Это второй по популярности в наши дни автомобильный двигатель после рядного четырёхцилиндрового двигателя. Первый серийный V6 появился в 1950 году на итальянской модели Lancia Aurelia. Технические особенности V6 — несбалансированный двигатель; он работает как два рядных трёхцилиндровых двигателя, и без дополнительных мер может иметь весьма большой уровень вибраций. В двигателях V6 используется дисбаланс коленвала, создаваемый противовесами (иногда дополнительно применяют маховик и шкив с дисбалансом), уравновешивающий момент от сил инерции 1-го порядка поршней и верхних частей шатунов. Кроме того, иногда (при некоторых углах развала цилиндров) для этого дополнительно используют балансировочный вал, вращающийся со скоростью коленвала, но в противоположную сторону. Это позволяет приблизить их по плавности работы и уровню вибраций к рядному шестицилиндровому двигателю. Момент инерции 2-го порядка, как правило оставляют свободным, так как он имеет небольшую величину и может быть поглощён опорами двигателя. Как правило, угол развала цилиндров составляет 60, 90 или 120 градусов. Но встречаются и иные варианты, например 54°, 45°, 65°, 75° или 15° (VR6). Угол развала 90° обычно встречается на двигателях, унифицированных с двигателями конфигурации V8, для которых такой угол развала является основным. В первых двигателях такой конфигурации, по причине того, что технологии тогда не позволяли сделать достаточно прочный коленвал с совмещёнными шатунными шейками, а делать полноопорный коленвал с отдельными шейками для каждого шатуна невыгодно, так как по длине двигатель становится сравнимым с исходным V8 (кроме того, это усложняет двигатель), на каждой шатунной шейке располагались (так же, как и в исходном V8) по два шатуна от противоположных цилиндров (схема с 3 кривошипами, пример — Buick Special, а также советский двигатель ЯМЗ-236). Такая конструкция при угле развала 90° позволяет уравновесить момент инерции 1-го порядка без применения балансировочных валов, однако равномерных интервалов поджига смеси она не обеспечивает (рабочие ходы в цилиндрах следуют не равномерно, а через 90 и 150° по углу поворота коленчатого вала, порядок работы цилиндров при этом 1-4-2-5-3-6). Следствием этого является заметная вибрация работающего двигателя, особенно при работе на малых оборотах коленчатого вала, а также грубый и неприятный на слух звук выхлопа, а по плавности хода двигатель больше напоминает трёхцилиндровый. Чтобы уменьшить вибрации и улучшить плавность хода, применяют маховик увеличенной массы. В более современных двигателях V6 с углом развала 90° используется усложнённый коленвал со смещёнными шатунными шейками (6 кривошипов), обеспечивающий равномерные интервалы поджига смеси, а момент инерции 1-го порядка уравновешивается при применении балансировочного вала (без него он уравновешивается не полностью, что потребует усовершенствованной подвески двигателя и часто неприемлемо для современного легкового автомобиля из-за повышенной вибрации). Однако на болидах формулы-1 (регламент 2014) года используется именно простой коленвал с тремя кривошипами, не обеспечивающий равномерных интервалов поджига, но обладающий большей прочностью и не требующий уравновешивания момента 1-го порядка. 120-градусный развал позволяет получить широкий, но низкий силовой агрегат, что лучше подходит для низких, например, спортивных машин. В нём так же на каждой шатунной шейке располагаются по два шатуна (число шатунных шеек — 3), но за счёт угла развала цилиндров 120° обеспечиваются равномерные интервалы поджига смеси. Такая конфигурация имеет довольно большой момент 1-го порядка, который можно скомпенсировать только при применении балансировочного вала. При всех остальных углах развала (отличных от 120°), чтобы обеспечить равномерные интервалы поджига смеси (через каждые 120° по углу поворота коленвала) и тем самым уменьшить вибрацию двигателя, а также обеспечить плавный ход, каждый шатун располагают на отдельной шатунной шейке коленвала, либо применяют усложнённый коленвал со смещёнными шатунными шейками (это уменьшает длину двигателя, а также упрощает его, но требует усовершенствованния технологии изготовления коленвала). 60-градусный развал позволяет скомпенсировать момент 1-го порядка без применения балансировочных валов. По этой причине, а также благодаря компактности, этот угол развала считается «родным» для V-образных шестёрок. Иногда по каким-либо причинам применяют близкие углы развала, например 54° или 65° при незначительном увеличении вибраций, которые растут по мере отклонения от угла 60°. Угол развала 15° позволяет сделать одну общую головку для всех цилиндров, а также позволяет использовать порядок зажигания такой же, как у рядного шестицилиндрового двигателя и обладает удовлетворительной сбалансированностью без применения балансировочных валов, что вместе с усовершенствованной подвеской двигателя решает проблему вибраций. Именно трудности балансировки и являлись основной причиной, сдерживавшей распространение серийных двигателей этого типа. До 1950-х годов такие двигатели создавались, но либо для стационарных установок (например бензогенераторов), либо как опытные образцы. В 1959 году в США фирма GM начала производство пятилитрового V6, которым оснащались пикапы и субурбаны (гибрид универсала и микроавтобуса на шасси пикапа). В 1962 году в США пошёл в производство «компакт» Buick Special с 90-градусным V6, разработанным на основе небольшой V-образной «восьмёрки», но он отличался высоким уровнем вибраций и вскоре был снят с производства. Одним из первых полностью перешёл на V-образные шестицилиндровые моторы (двух семейств — Cologne и Essex, в зависимости от места разработки — ФРГ или Великобритании) европейский филиал «Форда»: с 1965…66 годов они постепенно вытеснили ранее использовавшиеся на наиболее крупных европейских моделях этой марки рядные шестёрки (первоначально европейский «Форд» также повсеместно заменил на своих автомобилях рядные четвёрки на моторы конфигурации V4, принадлежавшие к тем же семействам, что и V6, но впоследствии отказался от них — в то время, как V6 упомянутых выше семейств дожили до 2000-х годов). При этом американский «Форд» оставался крайне консервативен в выборе типов силовых агрегатов, начав выпуск собственных V6 (на основе разработок британского филиала) лишь в начале 1980-х годов (на пике бензинового кризиса рубежа 1970-х — 1980-х годов). Первый серийный японский V6 появился только в 1983 году у фирмы Nissan — серия Nissan VG, затем более продвинутым японским V6 стал мотор серии 6G от Mitsubishi, появившийся в 1986 году, примечатлен он тем, что устанавливался он на самый дорогой спорткар этой компании Mitsubishi 3000GT и в турбоверсии выдавал аж 320 лошадиных сил, нося индекс 6G72TT. Использование в автомобилях V6 — один из самых компактных двигателей, он обычно короче, чем I4, и в большинстве исполнений у́же и короче, чем V8. В современных переднеприводных автомобилях с поперечным расположением двигателя по компоновочным соображениям как правило невозможна установка рядных шестицилиндровых двигателей, что, при повышенных требованиях к мощности в наши дни, обуславливает популярность V-образных шестицилиндровых моторов на автомобилях более высоких классов, несмотря на малую сбалансированность и сложность в производстве в сравнении с I6. Унификация двигателей различных автомобилей приводит к тому, что V6 устанавливают и в машинах с продольным расположением двигателя, в которых, в принципе, нет строгой компоновочной необходимости его применения, — хотя оно и даёт ряд преимуществ. Вместе с тем, на автомобилях того же класса с задним приводом, вроде 5-й серии BMW, всё ещё довольно широко распространены и рядные «шестёрки». Из советских двигателей серийными V6 были только дизели большого рабочего объёма для грузовиков, и спецтехники: ЯМЗ-236 и СМД-60. Трёхлитровый V6 моделей ГАЗ-24-14 и ГАЗ-24-18 планировался в качестве базового двигателя легкового автомобиля «Волга» ГАЗ-24, но впоследствии в силу целого ряда причин был заменён на рядный четырёхцилиндровый. Однако, была выпущена опытно-промышленная партия этих двигателей, которые использовались на ряде спортивных автомобилей, в частности, на одном из серии «Эстония». Шестицилиндровый двигатель VR Другим направлением развития является VR-технология, которая зародилась в 1920-е годы, когда компания Lancia выпустила семейство V-образных моторов с очень маленьким углом развала цилиндров (всего 10—20°). «VR» представляет собой аббревиатуру двух немецких слов, обозначающих V-образный и R-рядный, т. е. «v-образно-рядный». Двигатель представляет собой симбиоз V-образного двигателя с минимально малым углом развала 15° и рядного двигателя, в котором шесть цилиндров расположены V-образно под углом 15°, в отличие от традиционных V-образных двигателей, имеющих угол 60° или 90°. Поршни в блоке размещаются в шахматном порядке. Двигатель никак не наследует сбалансированность R6, но имеет лучшую компактность в сравнении с V6 и R6. Совокупность достоинств обоих типов двигателей привела к тому, что двигатель VR6 стал настолько компактным, что позволил накрыть оба ряда цилиндров одной общей головкой, в отличие от обычного V6. В результате двигатель VR6 получился значительно меньшим по длине, чем R6, и по ширине, чем обычный V6. Рабочий объём варьируется как правило от 2,0 до 5,0 л. Использование конфигурации в двигателях объёмом меньше 2,0 л мало оправдано из-за относительно высокой стоимости изготовления (по сравнению с четырёхцилиндровыми двигателями) и большой (в сравнении с ними же) длины. Однако, подобные случаи имели место, например, мотоцикл Benelli 750 Sei имел двигатель I6 с рабочим объёмом всего 0,75 л. В настоящее время технология возрождена концерном Volkswagen, который выпустил шестицилиндровые двигатели компоновки VR6. Ставился с 1991 года (1992 модельный) на автомобили Volkswagen Passat, Golf, Corrado, Sharan. Имеет заводские индексы «AAA» объёмом 2,8 литра, мощностью 174 л/с и «ABV» объёмом 2,9 литра и мощностью 192 л/с. Оппозитный шестицилиндровый двигатель Имеет два ряда по три цилиндра, которые расположены под углом 180°, причём противостоящие поршни двигаются зеркально (одновременно достигают верхней мёртвой точки). Такой двигатель хорошо уравновешен и имеет малую высоту и низкий центр тяжести, но при этом он довольно широкий. Используется на некоторых автомобилях («Порше», «Субару») и мотоциклах («Хонда Голд Винг»). См. также Четырёхцилиндровый двигатель Восьмицилиндровый двигатель Примечания Литература Nunney, M J.

Martin as "fantasy as it ought to be written" and Lin-Manuel Miranda as "an incredible series," featuring a new foreword by Robin Hobb and ten full-color illustrations. Twenty-five years ago, Robin Hobb's first novel featuring FitzChivalry Farseer and his mysterious, often maddening friend the Fool struck like a bolt of brilliant lightning. Thus began a beloved saga spanning multiple series, full of adventure, magic, and sinister plots. To celebrate a quarter-century of wonder, this special edition of Assassin's Apprentice presents a modern classic as it's never been seen before: in hardcover, with ten beautiful full-color illustrations by Magali Villeneuve. Young Fitz is the bastard son of the noble Prince Chivalry, raised in the shadow of the royal court by his father's gruff stableman. He is treated as an outcast by all the royalty except the devious King Shrewd, who has him secretly tutored in the arts of the assassin. For in Fitz's blood runs the magic Skill—and the darker knowledge of a child raised with the stable hounds and rejected by his family. As barbarous raiders ravage the coasts, Fitz is growing to manhood. Soon he will face his first dangerous, soul-shattering mission. And though some regard him as a threat to the throne, he may just be the key to the survival of the kingdom. Praise for Robin Hobb and Assassin's Apprentice "Fantasy as it ought to be written . . . Robin Hobb's books are diamonds in a sea of zircons."—George R. R. Martin "A gleaming debut in the crowded field of epic fantasies . . . a delightful take on the powers and politics behind the throne."—Publishers Weekly "This is the kind of book you fall into, and start reading slower as you get to the end, because you don't want it to be over."—Steven Brust Nonbinary Gender Identities Author : Charlie McNabb Publisher : Rowman & Littlefield Download or read book Nonbinary Gender Identities PDF or another Format written by Charlie McNabb and published by Rowman & Littlefield.

Book excerpt: Nonbinary gender identities are those that fall outside the traditional binary of "man" and "woman." These include genderfluid, androgynous, genderqueer, and a multitude of other identity terms, some of which overlap. Although there have always been people who identify outside the gender binary, only recently have they gained popular media attention. Despite some visibility, however, nonbinary gender identities are poorly understood by the general public. It is critically important for gender minorities to find themselves in the media that they consume. Just as important is the need for those outside the minority community to understand and appreciate them. Nonbinary gender identities are represented in books and other media, but these resources prove difficult to locate, as classification vocabulary doesn't evolve as quickly as community language. Reference sources identified include archives and special collections, theses and dissertations, key journals, and related organizations and associations. This timely resource—the first reference on nonbinary gender identities—offers an accessible entry into researching this topic. Written by a nonbinary scholar and librarian, this guide includes valuable appendixes that will aid every researcher and writer: a glossary of the rich vocabulary emerging from nonbinary communities; a guide to pronoun usage; a primer on sex, sexuality, and gender; and Library of Congress Classification information.

This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the ways in which contemporary writers, artists, directors, producers and fans use the opportunities offered by popular fantasy to exceed or challenge norms of gender and sexuality, focusing on a range of media, including television episodes and series, films, video games and multi-player online role-play games, novels and short stories, comics, manga and graphic novels, and board games. Engaging directly with an enormously successful popular genre which is often overlooked by literary and cultural criticism, contributors pay close attention to the ways in which the producers of fantasy texts, whether visual, game, cinematic, graphic or literary texts, are able to play with gender and sexuality, to challenge and disrupt received notions and to allow and encourage their audiences to imagine ways of being outside of the constitutive constraints of socialized gender and sexual identity. With rich case studies from the US, Australia, UK, Japan and Europe, all concentrating not on the critique of fantasy texts which duplicate or reinforce existing prejudices about gender and sexuality, but on examining the exploration of or attempt to make possible non-normative gendered and sexual identities, this volume will appeal to scholars across the social sciences and humanities, with interests in popular culture, fantasy, media studies and gender and sexualities.

Martin as a groundbreaking master of fantasy, Robin Hobb delivers the second book in her long-awaited Fitz and the Fool trilogy. The harrowing adventures of FitzChivalry Farseer and his enigmatic friend the Fool continue in Robin Hobb's triumphant follow-up to Fool's Assassin. But Fool's Quest is more than just a sequel. With the artistry and imagination her fans have come to expect, Hobb builds masterfully on all that has gone before, revealing devastating secrets and shocking conspiracies that cast a dark shadow over the history of Fitz and his world—a shadow that now stretches to darken all future hope. Long ago, Fitz and the Fool changed the world, bringing back the magic of dragons and securing both the Farseer succession and the stability of the kingdom. Or so they thought. But now the Fool is near death, maimed by mysterious pale-skinned figures whose plans for world domination hinge upon the powers the Fool may share with Fitz's own daughter. Distracted by the Fool's perilous health, and swept up against his will in the intrigues of the royal court, Fitz lets down his guard . . . and in a horrible instant, his world is undone and his beloved daughter stolen away by those who would use her as they had once sought to use the Fool—as a weapon. But FitzChivalry Farseer is not without weapons of his own. An ancient magic still lives in his veins. And though he may have let his skills as royal assassin diminish over the years, such things, once learned, are not so easily forgotten. Now enemies and friends alike are about to learn that nothing is more dangerous than a man who has nothing left to lose. Praise for Fool's Quest "A complex tapestry of adventure, betrayal, destiny, and unrelenting peril . . . Hobb's expertise is evident as always."—Publishers Weekly "Glorious and beautiful storytelling . . . Hobb lets rip with revelations, treachery, vengeance, sword fights and full on magical mayhem."—SciFiNow "If readers have any doubt that Robin Hobb is one of the finest writers in the fantasy genre, then they haven't read any of her work."—SFFWorld Cassette Books Author : Library of Congress.

From 11 to 18 December the Christians separated to their various chapels and the meetings in these were continued on a daily basis. But they came together again at Jerusalem Chapel the following week Joseph Jenkins had come to North Wales on a preaching tour bringing with him some of the young people so that they might share what was happening in New Quay. He came to the village of Talysarn, a few miles south of Caernarfon, and there was much blessing in those meetings. It was natural that he should respond to a call from his old friend Job, and on Wednesday, 21 December, he arrived in Bethesda, together with two of the New Quay girls Florrie Evans and Maude Davies. He also brought with him three girls who had been set aflame at Talysarn. From 'When God came to North Wales', published by Quinta, page 93. The revival must have been in both the chapels in the village.

Discrepancies in the measurement of household saving by Radhika Pandey and Renuka Sane. Data on household financial saving is key to understanding how households save, and the flow of capital from households to firms. In India, households are seen to invest largely in physical assets, causing considerable concern for financial sector policy. This has generated debate on how to improve access to finance and get more households to participate in financial markets. Accurate and precise measurement is the foundation for any work on financial saving. In the context of data on savings, a number of committees have recommended improvements in the quality of estimates. The issue, however, gets less attention than it deserves. In this article, we study the data on one of the key components of savings: the household financial saving, and highlight some instances of discrepancies between the two data sources on this. Data on household financial saving in India There are two sources of data for annual household financial saving in India. CSO: Data on annual household saving are published by the CSO in its end-January release titled 'First Revised Estimates (FRE) of National Income, Consumption Expenditure, Saving and Capital Formation', and revised in the subsequent annual releases. The Gross Financial Savings of Household Sector (at Current Prices) comprises of the following broad instruments: (a) Currency (b) Deposits (c) Shares and debentures (d) Claims on government - which include all the small savings schemes (e) Insurance funds (f) Provident and pension funds. RBI: Information on financial assets and liabilities of the household sector are available as part of the Flow of Funds (FoF) Accounts published by the RBI annually. FoF accounts map instrument-wise financial flows across five major institutional sectors of the Indian economy on a `from whom to whom basis'. These institutional sectors comprise (a) financial corporations (b) non-financial corporations (c) general government (d) household sector and (e) the rest of the world. RBI has been publishing the 'Flow of Funds' accounts since 1964. This table is part of the Handbook of Statistics on the Indian economy. The RBI estimates are released five months ahead of the CSO release. The data on changes in financial assets/liabilities of the household sector (at current prices) comprises of (a) Currency (b) Bank deposits (c) Non-banking deposits (d) Life insurance fund (e) Provident and pension fund (f) Claims on government (g) Shares and debentures (h) Units of UTI (i) (Net) Trade debt. The data headings under the CSO and the RBI largely map to each other. The CSO provides us with one heading on deposits, while the RBI breaks it into bank and non-bank deposits. The UTI mutual fund is counted under Shares and debentures in both, while the "Units of UTI" heading in the RBI data pertain to Administrator of the Specified Undertaking of the UTI since 2005-06. Trade debt (net) is shown as part of deposits in the CSO scheme of financial instruments. In theory, there should be similarities between the two. The CSO has been publishing the new series of national accounts with base year 2011-12 since 2015. In line with this new series of national accounts, the RBI also compiled the FoF accounts starting from 2011-12. In both the data-sets, the economy is divided into the five sectors mentioned above. Despite alignment of the sectors, there are discrepancies in the findings from the RBI FoF data and the CSO data. Discrepancy in the CSO and RBI estimates We first present the total household financial saving across the last three years between the two data sources in Table 1. The aggregate gross household financial saving for the year 2016-17 from the CSO is Rs 14,048.47 billion, while the RBI reports it to be Rs 18,204.68 billion. This amounts to a difference of more than Rs 4,000 billion for the year 2016-17. The differences in previous years are lower. Table 1: Gross financial savings of the household sector (Rs.billion) (Base year 2011-12) Gross financial savings CSO RBI 2014-15 12,572.47 12,826.33 We next analyse where the discrepancy for the year 2016-17 is coming from. Table 2 presents the instrument-wise share in total financial saving from the two sources in 2016-17. Table 2: Share of instrument in financial saving 2016-17 (Base year 2011-12) Share of instrument (%) RBI CSO Currency -17.4 -22.5 Bank deposits 60.1 62.2 Non bank deposits 1.9 1.8 Insurance 24.2 24.9 Provident and pension funds 16.2 21.5 Claims on government 4.6 4.5 Shares and debentures 10.0 2.6 Net trade debt 0.2 0.3 The biggest source of discrepancy is seen in the share of shares and debentures in total household financial savings. According to the CSO numbers, their share is a meager 2.6% while the RBI numbers suggest that the share of `shares and debentures' is 10%. There are differences in the share of provident and pension funds. The CSO numbers report the share to be 21.5% while according to the RBI figures, provident and pension funds constitute 16% of the aggregate household financial saving. This is surprising because the CSO document explaining the changes in methodology in the new base year series shows that their key data source for estimating household financial savings in shares and debentures is the RBI. Discrepancy in estimates depending on base year A question that is often posed is how the share of particular instruments has been changing across time. This is especially important if the government has taken special policy initiatives to promote a specific saving instrument, and wishes to evaluate the policy impact. One such example is the category of provident and pension funds, wherein the National Pension System (NPS) has been given consistent tax breaks over the years. Table 3 presents the share of pension and provident funds in total financial saving according to different sources. The first column comes from the RBI, Changes in Financial Assets and Liabilities of the Household Sector (RBI) at Current Prices released on September 15, 2017. The second column comes from the CSO, Changes in Financial Assets and Liabilities of the Household Sector at Current Prices : Base Year 2004-05. The CSO series for the base year 2004-05 stops at 2012-13. The third column is CSO, Gross Financial Savings of Household Sector at Current Prices: Base Year 2011-12. It would be fair to expect that for the common years, the series with different base years present comparable estimates. The CSO's document on changes in methodology in the new base year series suggest that the percentage discrepancy in household financial savings between the old and new base year series is 1.8%. Table 3: Share of pension and provident funds in financial saving Year RBI (2004-05) CSO (2004-05) CSO (2011-12) 2011-12 10.26 10.32 10.26 2013-14 14.93 14.93 There is a huge discrepancy in how the estimates change given the base year. For example, while the RBI data and the CSO data for base year 2011-12 suggest that the share of provident and pension funds in total saving for the year 2012-13 was 14.7%, the CSO's estimates for base year 2004-05 place this at 10.9%. In another year, however we see discrepancy between the RBI data and the CSO data for base year 2011-12. The RBI data shows a decline in the share of pension and provident funds from 18% in 2015-16 to 16% in 2016-17 while the CSO data shows an increase in the share of provident and pension funds from 19% in 2015-16 to 21.5% in 2016-17. In the past, concerns have been raised on the quality of savings data and on the wide discrepancies visible in the RBI Flow of Funds Accounts and the CSO's data. In fact, the RBI in its August 2016 bulletin has tried to align its methodology with the CSO new base year series. However, despite their efforts, key problems in measurement remain. If there are reasons for the discrepancy, they remain inaccessible in the public domain to researchers. This is a serious concern as any analysis on household saving cannot proceed without accurate, precise and consistent data. Since the publishing of the article, we learned that the RBI overwrites its provisional estimates (released five months ahead of the CSO's release) once the CSO releases its data on household savings. This suggests that ultimately there is only one source of data on household savings, the CSO.

N. Srikrishna, Somasekhar Sundaresan. When India embarked on market oriented reforms in 1991, there was a desire to break with central planning; with detailed government control of entry barriers, product design and processes within firms. This is not synonymous with deregulation: there are market failures in many industries that require addressing. This led to the establishment of regulators. While the Reserve Bank of India has existed since 1934, there was a wave of establishment of new regulators after SEBI was created in 1988. Regulators were to have legislative powers, to write subordinate legislation which would embed intricate knowledge and change rapidly with the evolution of fast-paced private industries. They were intended to have executive power in licensing and investigations. They were designed to shield transactions (licensing, investigation) from political interference. They were expected to achieve greater State capacity when compared with departments of government improving upon processes such as human resource policies. The early optimism about shifting from central control to specialised regulators has given way to concerns about the working of regulators. Regulators have also been plagued by poor State capacity. Regulators have too often veered into controlling as opposed to regulating, with creation of entry barriers and micro-management through regulations. Firms and groups of firms actively seek to co-opt regulators in their business objectives, which has given a return to the political economy of central planning. Entry barriers have sprung up with irrational and arbitrary decisions in licensing. Enforcement of regulations, and substantive law making, is selective and weak. This has induced large costs upon the economy. There is arbitrary power to initiate investigations and punish, and a climate of fear where private persons are afraid to criticise regulators. India of 2018 is uncomfortably similar to the India of 1991. It is hence important to review the Indian experience, diagnose the sources of failure of existing regulators, and envision how high performance regulators can be obtained. We have a new paper, which is forthcoming in Regulation in India: Design, Capacity, Performance, edited by Devesh Kapur and Madhav Khosla, Oxford: Hart Publishing, 2019 (forthcoming). This article summarises and introduces this new paper. There are two blind alleys in the quest for State capacity in regulators. It is possible to focus on one episode of a mistake by a regulator, and undertake analysis and advocacy about solving this problem. While a great deal of knowledge can be produced through case studies of failure, it is important to go upstream, to ask questions of incentives and information that lie at the source of repeated regulatory failure. The second non-solution is a focus on personalities. When institutions are weak, the character of the institution is determined by its staffing. There is, then, a clamour to recruit great men, and then give them all power to do as they like (i.e. extreme regulatory independence). It is important to look deeper, to build institutions that have impersonal capability. For any change to be more than skin deep, it cannot be an idea in the minds of certain individuals; it has to be about the formal structures of governance, accountability, and processes. Conversely, individuals working in regulators sometimes take criticism personally. However, the failures of an organisation are primarily induced by the design of the organisation. The same individuals would deliver superior outcomes if placed in a better designed organisation. The focus must be on the incentives of the individuals who man the regulator. If regulators are merely given arbitrary power, public choice theory and the Indian experience shows that this power will be used poorly. What is required is systems of accountability, and checks and balances, through which the individuals working inside regulators have incentives to do the right things. This requires seven elements. Clarity of purpose. Accountability for an organisation requires clarity on its goals. Every regulatory organisation must have a compact and clearly understood objective. Sprawling mandates, and particularly conflicting mandates, yield poor performance. Role and composition of the board. The board must be dominated by non-executive members, through which the board can play the role of the Principal vis-a-vis the management which is the Agent. The board must control the organisation design, including organisation diagram, internal process manuals and the budget process. The board must control the legislative function. Legislative process. When Parliament places law-making power upon unelected officials in a regulator, this calls for commensurate checks and balances in the process of regulation-making. The regulation-making process must start from the board. The staff must document the problem that is sought to be solved, the proposed intervention, and conduct a cost-benefit analysis. This packet must be put out for public comment. After this, the staff must address the public comments on the draft and make appropriate modifications to the draft regulation, and bring the draft back to the board for a discussion. Finally, only the board should have the power to issue a regulation. Executive process. Sound processes are required in licensing and investigations, which protect citizens from arbitrary power. The non-award of a license causes harm for the applicant, and should use processes similar to those employed when punishing a citizen. Judicial process An administrative law department should contain administrative law officers, who play no role in legislative or executive functions. This would yield an element of separation of powers. A hearing must take place before an administrative law officer, where the prosecution leads an argument and the defendant is given an opportunity to argue her case. This should lead to the drafting of a reasoned order as a structured document which shows the state of law, the facts of this case, demonstrates that law has been violated, or explain why this conclusion cannot be reached, and uses proper reasoning to determine the penalty. Orders should be published. There should be the possibility of efficacious appeal at a court or tribunal against the order. These three stages of due process (internally, at the administrative law officer, and externally, through publishing orders and at the appeal) create pressure upon the investigation and prosecution staff of regulator to produce high quality work, and protect citizens from arbitrary power. Reporting and accountability. Regulators should be obliged to release statistical details about their functioning. Reporting should not concern the broader economic environment, e.g. the fluctuations of the stock market index, but should focus upon the actual work of the regulator, e.g. the win rate at the tribunal when orders are appealed. High quality reporting of all aspects of the working of the regulator will create the pressure of accountability, and feed into the budget process where targets can be set and incremental resources allocated in a way that pursues those targets. The role of the department. Alongside the creation of well structured regulators, there is a need to clarify the role of the department of government, and create capacity in the functions that the department has to discharge. These seven elements need to be coded into the Parliamentary law. This can be done at the level of one sector (e.g. the draft Indian Financial Code that envisages a single good governance framework for all financial regulators) or for all regulators in the Union government, as was done in the US by the Federal Administrative Procedures Act in 1946. When compared with these seven elements of the design of a regulator which foster high performance, the present Indian landscape contains large gaps. The regulators of today are defined by skimpy laws, which give arbitrary power to the management, and lack a Principal-Agent perspective upon the working of the regulator. The present legislative framework is grounded in the notion that regulators are good people and will work towards the welfare of the people. This creates poor incentives for good behaviour by regulatory officials. The FSLRC, chaired by one of us (Justice Srikrishna) drafted the Indian Financial Code, from 2011 to 2015. This draft law embeds the key ideas of this paper. Across the Indian landscape, many experiments are now taking place in building State capacity in regulators. This paper provides a conceptual framework, and 140 sections in the draft Indian Financial Code provides the draft law, for this journey.

Sequencing issues in building jurisprudence: the problems of large bankruptcy cases by Ajay Shah. Sequencing in the construction of State capacity in the bankruptcy process: an abstract argument A big idea in the field of State capacity is that of learning to do simple things before doing difficult ones. Applying this wisdom, in the early days of the Indian bankruptcy reform, it made sense to bring smaller cases into the fledgling process. At an early stage, bringing 12 big cases was problematic. This is based on a relatively abstract argument: The stakes are highest with big bankruptcies. The persons who face large losses owing to the working of the bankruptcy process will hire high powered legal teams, and spend money on all means fair and foul, to push the loss to someone else. A tangible argument Josh Felman has a tangible argument of how things go wrong when large cases are brought to a fledgling bankruptcy process. Sophisticated thinking about procedural law is based on thinking about the overall system of incentives, and the overall outcomes, that flow from a certain element of law. The danger lies in looking at an individual case and trying to do justice. Doing justice in an individual case may often harm justice on a larger scale. The most important innovation in IBC was the 180 day limit for the Committee of Creditors (CoC). If they are not able to make up their minds within 180 days, the company goes into liquidation. Given the difficulties of banking regulation in India, banks have an incentive to delay matters indefinitely, and claim that an asset is worth Rs.100 when in fact it is worth Rs.40. The threat of value destruction in liquidation within six months (where the realisation will be Rs.20) solves the wrong incentives of poorly regulated and poorly governed Indian financial firms. For this to work, we must have sanctity of process. A default takes place, the CoC is setup, it has 180 days to make a decision, and then the firm goes into liquidation. There should be no possibility of reopening the matter at a later stage. In any individual case, it may be the case that there are gains from delay, or from reopening the matter after the CoC has made a decision. This may result in increased value realisation in the small (in the one case that we are looking at). But it harms the performance of the bankruptcy process in the large. Consider the problem of reopening the CoC process after a decision has been made. Once the NCLT makes it known that it is open to such possibilities, it is efficient for a bidder to not participate in the insolvency resolution process (IRP), see the outcome there (e.g. Rs.40) and then go to NCLT promising Rs.41. This would harm the incentives of anyone to participate in the IRP. What will happen when such situations arise in front of the judge? Suppose there is a Rs.10 million case, where sacrificing the process yields a value gain of Rs.1 million. In this case, it's easier for a judge to be more intellectual, to say that it is a small cost of Rs.1 million for one person in front of him versus the larger gains to society from sanctity of the process. But if there is a Rs.1 trillion case, the judge will find it harder to be intellectual. She is more likely to be swayed by an attempt at subverting the process in return for a value gain of Rs.0.1 trillion. Once a few cases shape up like this, in favour of justice and not the rule of law, the body of law will be contaminated. The right way to build State capacity for the bankruptcy reform is to first bring a large number of small cases to judges. At the time, judges are themselves new to this field. A few small mistakes will be made, but jurisprudence is more likely to build up in the right direction: to look for the performance of the overall bankruptcy process rather than to do justice for one plaintiff. This jurisprudence will value the rule of law, and the sanctity of process, over immediate notions of justice. It will induce justice in the large by sometimes sacrificing justice in the small. If, on the other hand, at a fledgling stage, a large transaction of Rs.1 trillion is brought in front of a judge. This judge is herself relatively unsure about the ideas of the bankruptcy process, and is not adequately guided by prevailing jurisprudence. In this case, the judge is more likely to succumb to the temptation of doing justice in the small, even if this does harm to the rule of law. This will harm the sanctity of process, and contaminate the working of the bankruptcy process. Labels: banking, bankruptcy, legal system Discrepancies in the measurement of household savi...

Yea sure, I felt my whole body go weak, I felt my heart flutter, I felt my chest burn - but I didn't understand that so many people before me had died from doing this. What I'm talking about here is called flushing. What is 'flushing' and why is it so dangerous? Often when people use the flushing technique, they will keep vomiting, then drinking water, then vomiting, until all that is coming up is water - or bile. Then I'd continue with my day - shivery, shaky and exhausted. I was so obsessed with flushing that I'd go for an evening shower (or 2, or 3) every night and 'flush' myself out in the shower. I would drink water straight from the shower head, purge, drink, purge, and continue until I was satisfied. I had no idea how deadly flushing could be. Flushing is one of the top ways of depleting your body of essential electrolytes - vital for the correct functioning of your heart. When you purge - and even more so when you flush - your body looses electrolytes, sometimes to the point of it being life threatening. Since my recovery, I've met women with bulimia who have been hospitalized as a result of flushing. One lady was having a single purging session a day, but flushing extensively during it. She was hospitalized with dangerously low potassium levels and was lucky to have survived. Flushing is one of the most dangerous things you can do as a bulimic. Eliminating 'flushing' is an important step to prevent death from bulimia. What To Do Instead of Flushing? What can you do while you are working on recovery to keep yourself safe when you slip up and binge/purge? The famine is over, you will not diet and you will not deplete your body of nutrients by purging. Holding down your binges will help to reduce your biological drive to binge again, which is activated through dieting and/or purging. You can read more about biological hunger being a cause of bulimia here. And of course holding a binge down will not cause your body any trauma from purging. By not purging you will help to keep your hert safe and prevent death from bulimia. Vomit one time only and accept whatever does not come out. Once you have purged then do your best to replenish your electrolytes. You can do this by drinking a drink high in electrolytes like a powerade, gatorade, the electrolyte replenishing smoothie, or by eating fruit such as bananas and dates. Please make sure you eat or drink (and hold it down) soon after purging. What to do if you end up flushing? Of course I hope that after learning the dangers of flushing, you do everything in your power to avoid it. As I've said, by not flushing yourself, you're taking a huge step to prevent death from bulimia. I want you to keep yourself safe because I know that there's a magnificent life waiting for you on the other side of this journey. Keeping yourself safe will help make sure you get a chance to experience that life! Replenish your electrolytes - Eat or drink electrolyte rich food/fluid - as mentioned in the step above. Allow yourself to take it easy - Rest up and don't put any added pressure on your heart. Don't isolate yourself - Stay in the company of others so that if you do have any complications, there are people to help you. Recovery is not born out of fear - it is born out of love and hope. A deep (even if it's somewhat dim!) love for yourself - and the hope for a better life. So instead of saying "I must recover so that I don't have a heart attack" "I will recover because I deserve to enjoy my life!" Below is my video on how you can prevent death from bulimia by avoiding flushing. If you absorb information better from watching (rather than reading) then please check it out. If you would like some added guidance in this journey, please visit my online recovery program: The Bulimia Recovery Program.

Dexter's Laboratory(1996-2003) | 7min per episode | Animation, Comedy, Kids & Family, Science-Fiction & Fantasy Dexter's Laboratory is an American comic science fiction animated children's television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network. The series follows Dexter, a boy-genius with a secret laboratory filled with his collection of inventions.

The series' first two seasons contain additional segments: Dial M for Monkey, which focuses on Dexter's pet lab monkey-turned-superhero, and The Justice Friends, about a trio of superheroes who share an apartment. Tartakovsky first pitched the series to Hanna-Barbera's animated shorts showcase World Premiere Toons, basing it on student films he produced while attending the California Institute of the Arts. Four shorts were created and broadcast on Cartoon Network in 1995 and 1996 before viewer approval ratings convinced the network to order a 13-episode first season, which premiered on April 28, 1996.

In 2001, the network revived the series under a different production team at Cartoon Network Studios, and after 26 more episodes, the series ended on November 20, 2003.

Home/USA/Georgia extends use of missing ballot boxes to Jan. 5 amid growing demand Georgia extends use of missing ballot boxes to Jan. 5 amid growing demand USA NewsDesk November 23, 2020 06:48 Georgia's election officials are expanding the use of safe ballots in the state-registered Senate January 5 election, where the Republican majority in the Senate is at stake. Georgia's five-member Georgia State Electoral Commission, chaired by Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, on Monday voted to extend the use of 24-hour, 7-hour-a-day-monitored waste bins to runoff. The use of the boxes originally expired in late December. CLICK HERE FOR GEORGIAN JUSTICE CHOICES LATEST UPDATES The move in the absence elections comes amid a surge in missing voter requests. Officials said 762,000 missing ballot applications were submitted Monday morning. The second rule adopted allows counties to continue processing missing ballots two weeks before election day – but now also authorizes them to begin processing them no later than one week and one day before the election. But under Georgian law, none of the ballot papers can be tabulated and counted until the polls close on January 5th. The board did not discuss or decide on a measure that addressed the problems of residence. Instead, the Secretary of State's office decided to send a formal election notice to the counties regarding the location information. The deadline for registration in the run-down elections is December 7 – and early personal voting in the twin contests will begin on December 14. THE PENCE CAMPAIGN TRAIN IS MADE DOWN AND VALUED Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa on Monday is the latest representative Republican to travel to Georgia to campaign for Sens. With David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, voters in Republican office. Vice President Mike Pence, center, Senator Kelly Loeffler to the left and Senator David Perdue to the right, waving to people at Dobbins Air Reserve Base, Marietta, Ga., November 20, 2020) The current balance of power in the next Senate, which will show up in this month's election: 50 Republicans and 48 Democrats. This means Democrats must win both Georgian election elections to become a 50-50-50 Senate. If that happens, the elected vice president, Kamala Harris, will have a tie vote, giving his party a razor-thin majority in the chamber. In Georgia, where state law requires the process to run if no candidate reaches 50% of the vote, Perdue barely missed avoiding leaving, gaining 49.75% of the vote. Jon Ossoff, the Democratic Challenger, follows him with roughly 87,000 votes. CLICK HERE TO THE FOX NEWS APP In the other race, Loeffler won almost 26% of the vote in a huge special election of 20 candidates, Johnny Isakson, to serve the last two years of the former GOP senate. Rulael Warnock, a nominee for the Democrats, won nearly 33% of the vote in the first round.

(Note VII.—When the services of a cost consultant are used to draft the bill of costs, a certificate from the attorney shall accompany the bill of costs and shall indicate— (a) that the bill was properly perused and found correct after receipt thereof; (b) that each description therein with reference to work, time and numbers is in accordance with what was necessarily done by him or her; and (c) that the items and tariff are drafted and claimed strictly according to party-and-party practice rules. The taxing master may, where it is evident from the bill of costs that the requirements of (a), (b) and (c) above, or parts thereof, have not been complied with, refuse to tax such bill. The taxing master may also, when he or she is convinced that a party-and-party bill of costs is claimed for work not done, or for work which belongs in an attorney-and-client bill of costs or that excessive fees are being charged, deny the attorney the remuneration mentioned in item G1 if more than 20% of the number of items or the total of fees of the bill are taxed off.) 19.

Rachel Massicotte Rachel Massicotte shared her big heart with everyone in her life. That included her family, friends, as well as all the people she helped in the community such as at-risk children, teenagers and women affected by domestic violence. She was a proud Franco-Manitoban and was very active in supporting her community through many commitments. She was president of the Provincial Youth Council, activist of the New Democratic Party and Commissioner of the Division scolaire franco-manitobaine. She also was a pioneer for the creation of l'Entre-temps des Franco-Manitobaines, a second-stage shelter for women and children affected by domestic violence, the only provincial shelter whose mandate is to provide bilingual services and to serve the French-speaking community. It was while performing her duties as the shelter's executive director that she passed away suddenly in 2006 at the age of 53. L'Entre-temps des Franco-manitobaines was renamed ChezRachel in her honor to celebrate her contributions to the organization and ensure her legacy. She is also celebrated by a memorial endowment fund started by her son, which has reached over $100,000 and will help support ChezRachel each year in perpetuity. Massicotte may no longer be with us physically, but she continues to show love and support for the community that she cared so deeply about.

After having such a great time in Phoenix, Perry and I headed over to Santa Fe to spend a night in one of the most creative cities in the country. We rented a cute little artsy airbnb and had a fantastic dinner at La Boca, a fancy little, crowded Tapas bar in the Plaza. Caramelized steak with paired Sherry, yum! And thus I discovered how much I enjoy sweet Sherry. The next morning, I was up nice and early putting in my curls so they could set during rehearsal. We met up with Ralph Shaw, Mark Baker, Gracie Terzian and producer Gary Well at the African American Arts Center, a beautiful building in Albuquerque where the entire festival was to take place. We rehearsed our parts (for the first time in person!) and walked thru how the variety show lineup was going to go. Honestly, we weren't quite sure WHAT to expect of this show, but we were all professionals and prepared for anything. The backing band (John Bartlit & friends) was I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E. I should have known what kind of caliber they were when Daniel Ward said they were his friends. All we had to do was throw a chart at them and suddenly we were playing along with a perfect musical backdrop. That's not all that common. A lot of bands are almost together, but someone will sway this way when another flows that way and you're left with a painful melodic clash here and there. Not these guys. They had what Heidi Swedberg calls "Big Ears". It was an absolute dream to play with them. This show was uniquely interesting because generally a show like this has 3 acts; opening, middle, headliners. This was completely different. Producer Gary had a vision for a 1940's Supper-club style variety show, so the performers and I had gotten together months ahead of time and planned the lineup so that we were jumping on and off the stage like popcorn! I'll admit I was nervous, wasn't sure if it was going to work, but it did! The audience loved it! After the show we basked in the praise of the audience who told us again and again how entertaining the "variety" aspect was. Whew! What a relief! That morning I looked out my window and, in the far distance, under the heavy, menacing thunder clouds I could see one, then two, then three hot air balloons! I've never seen one in real life. These were just specks on the horizon, but I could sense their size even with the distance between us. I could feel the buoyed sensation in the basket and the colossal, weightless mass of heat above, hanging in the air like a soap bubble. Ready to pop! Boy, I thought, these people are brave! I mean, not for nothin', but I wouldn't want to be floating a deaths-fall away from the ground, and then under Heavens match stick to boot! My personal teaching philosophy stems from a holistic approach. I believe with my whole heart that inner balance, trained muscles, posture, warmups, breathing and a calm mind are key components to playing music. Most of us begin our days feeling stiff and rushed. We have a thousand thoughts a second about priorities, responsibilities, and worries. It's easy to begin a festival day this way, and that doesn't leave much room for absorption. In this morning class we did yoga. Yep, yoga. No, we didn't do Down Dog or Chaturanga. We stayed in our seats and we flapped our elbows like chickens. Haha, at least that's what a peeping Tom would think we were doing. In reality we were slowing flapping our eagle wings through the air up and down, expressing all of our angst and tension with elbows toward the sky, and releasing the worry and strain with our elbows at our waste. Nice, big, Full breathes. That morning the students were reminded how big their lungs were, they were generous with their oxygen, and they were prepped with a clear mind and relaxed posture for the rest of the day. Just like me, most people appreciate being given permission to relax. To roll their heads from side to side, eyes closed. To breathe a heavy sigh without feeling weird. I mean we scrunched up our faces and looked ridiculous! And it felt sooooooo good. I freaking love yoga. I love the permissions it affords me. I love that everyone in a group class is doing the move with you, in tandem. It gives me the feeling of connectedness. Synchronized movements are energizing and community building. If you're reading this and you're thinking of a meet up you've been putting off or a class you've been curious about, do it. Don't think about it, just do it. You'll either like or you won't and then you'll know. And either way you'll be happier for having done it. The rest of the workshops were awesome. Every class was filled with eager students who got so excited to learn the knowledge, it was amazing energy! I assisted Perry in his Baritone/Bass class (Yes, all in one our. He pulled it off with flying colors! Great class.) And I had a wonderful time with Jane during our One-hour private lesson she had won in a drawing. I could go on and on about how cool it was to play with Ralph Shaw, and meeting Gracie Terzian, one of the most down to earth people I now know. Hanging out with Mark Baker, a very charismatic teacher/performer, was great too! I'll let the photos below speak about those experiences, as I've typed your ear off by now. A special thank you to Cheryl Fallstead for capturing the great photos of the show! And thanks to producer Gary Wells for making this all happen! I hope I've left you feeling a little Enchanted today, I certainly do.

Think about decking the walls of your baby's room, your girl's bedroom door, or even your own studio walls by putting a name to the face. ~ and the garland for the name, with flowers connecting each letter (see photo below). In addition to the Cut Flowers Alphabet, I chose flower petals from all of the Cut Flowers petal sets as well as the Cut Flowers Vine set. The vine set was used on the growth chart and the flowers were used on both the growth chart and the hanging garland. All of the flowers were connected to their bases with tiny brads in coordinating colors with the flowers. Above are a few close up shots of the growth chart to see how the flowers are built and positioned with the vines. I glued the vines to the chart first, then attached the flowers with the brads. You might want to also glue the base petals of the flowers to the chart for a better hold. Do all of this after you trim and assemble the growth chart. If you would like to make the growth chart for your own little ones, you can download my free chart (in pinks or blues) by going to my U-Pick button at right and choosing GrowthChartPink1-4 (four 8.5 x 11 files total) or GrowthChartBlue1-4 (four 8.5 x 11 files total) and make these for the little people in you life. You can always use the blue growth chart with any of the other cut-it files from LD, because flowers might not appeal to the boys in your life, but trucks and sports always will. They have lots of cute art to choose from! Above are samples of the free growth charts in pink and blue. You will need to download all four 8.5 x 11 sheets to print, trim and attach to make the 22"- 60" chart. My growth chart is nine inches wide and 38 inches high (in length it is a 22" to 60" ruler). You will find the free charts in four files for pink or four files for blue, so make sure you download all four parts; (they are numbered 1-4 on the files). It's in the bag, well, on it! Time to share one of my favorite things about working with the Cut Flowers bundle from LD. This is my newest trick and I'm all about it. Think flocked flowers. And now think, humm . . . but how to flock the flowers, making them velvety soft? I found this fun but practical handbag at an estate sale and have been looking for just the thing to dec-it-out and make is a one-of-a-kind carrying case. Well, the idea came and the project followed. I have been using vintage, satin flocked ribbon (see photo above) with my Silhouette cutter and the results have been super cool. I simply stick the strips of ribbon to the cutting mat, satin side down, turn on the machine and watch lots-o-flocked-petals appear before my very eyes. Next step is simple too, I sort and stack the petals to create flowers. Add some flocked leaves. Stitch the flowers together with sequins and seed beads. Sew them onto the bag to complete the 60's styling carrying tote of coolness. Okay, so the tweeded bag adds great texture against the velvety flowers and shimmering sequins. Lovin' the gray texture against these throw-back colors of the late 50's. Hey, even the sequins are vintage to complete the older than thou and cooler than now look. So, start thinking about the velvety softness of Cut Flowers. Get those files, crank up that cutting machine, and grab some florist ribbon (satin on back side and flocked on top side) to get in the groove with your 60's style deco-bag. Above is a shot of the ribbon, to show you what I use for the flowers. I think this type of ribbon is still current and available. Below is a shot of the ribbon and paper cabinet that opens up my little creative world to texture and color each day! My wonderful husband's handiwork is all about my studio (latest project~ribbon dowel in cupboard, below). He's a master at making my creative world a functioning factory for my work and play. You can get the Cut Flowers bundle or individual Cut Flowers files at LD by clicking here, or go to my Sheri's Creations button at top of blog. It's in the bag, the cool, retro bag! The costume kids are arriving early for Halloween, but don't be tricked, think of them as a treat, maybe even eye candy, or better yet just candy! This year, the candy coating is thick with sweetness. The Jolly Jabber, from the Fat Quarter Shop was kind enough to talk about the Costume Clubhouse collection and included a few fun facts about yours truly. You can go to their blog (here) to read the Q & A article. It will give a bit more insight into the creative process behind this collection. Thanks Jolly Jabber! This halloween collection wouldn't be complete without candy on the fabric scene. They parade around the bunting panel. They dance across ribbons on the clubhouse party print and create quite a scene trying to escape the acro-bats who try to sink their teeth into them on the scene panel. In additon to candy these halloween fabrics wouldn't be nearly as sweet without the original Costume Club kids, ghosts and bats. There are a few new club members, see if you can spot them, and of course new places for them to haunt, obviously the graveyard for one. The Costume Clubhouse collection will be on display this weekend at the International Quilt Market, which just happens to be in my hometown, Kansas City. I will be checking in on the Costume Clubhouse kids at the Riley Blake Designs booth and make sure they aren't misbehaving. Time to start filling the house with fresh cut flowers. You should use nature's beauties if your thumb is green enough to grow your own, but just in case it's not in your nature, try these as an alternative. These flowers are as easy as one, two, three; #1: cut lots of petals, #2: stack and shape, #3: arrange in vases. Here are some beauties in pastels and some in brights. Here are the additional pieces needed to build your own arrangements: bamboo skewers (I chose from these lengths ~ 16" 12" 10" 8"and 6"), floral wire (18" 18 gauge, silver or green), wooden beads for ends of skewer stems (10mm ~ see close up photo below), glass or plastic beads for ends of wire stem (make sure hole is big enough to slide over 18 gauge wire), and clear ear nuts (these are the rubber tips used for holding earrings to the ear) they will be used with the wire stems to keep petals on wire from slipping. You can also use green floral tape (not shown in photo below) to keep petals on skewer stem from slipping. Sleight of hand ~ to get the petals to bend just right, use a skewer to carefully pull each petal between it and your thumb while holding the other petals in place. Think of this as if you are curling ribbon when wrapping a gift. It works great, as long as you're using a slight motion and gentle pull. Go Green with skewers ~ to color bamboo skewers, use food coloring with a bit of water to make shades of greens/aquas. Use a cotton ball to apply dye to skewer (rub cotton ball along stick between thumb and fingers). You might want to wear latex gloves to keep your hands clean, unless of course you really do want a green thumb:) See various green skewers in photo below. Have a ball with color ~ dye wooden balls with same food coloring technique as explained above. This time have fun mixing a rainbow of colors. These will be used for the centers of flowers on the skewer stems. See photo below, and photo at top of post showing flowers with wooden centers. Get into a sticky situation ~ to secure the flower at top of stick, put floral tape just under the last petal. This can also be added to separate petals along stem and to keep petals from slipping. See photos below. Listen with your ears ~ these tiny rubber ear nuts are the perfect securing mechanism for keeping the flower at the top of the wire stem. Once you create your flower and layer the petals at the top of the floral wire, use these ear nuts to slide up and over the wire to keep that flower from sliding down the stem. Find these tiny helpers in the jewelry section of craft stores. See photo below for ear nuts. A string of beads ~ use beads to finish off centers of the flowers on the wire stems. Consider getting second hand strings of beads at thrift shops and estate sales. You will get so many more for your money, and have a great variety to choose from. I keep a small piece of 18 gauge wire with me to make sure the bead hole is wide enough for my wire to slip through. See photo below for bead centers. Here is the new way to keep fresh cut flowers around all year! Go to Lettering Delights, or my Sheri's Creations button at top, pick up the Cut Flowers collection by yours truly, and start growing your own bouquets to keep forever! What is in a name? Mother, Mommy, Mom, Mamma and even Ma are names given to women who have had one of the most coveted titles in history. They are special people; they deserve this title, and once they earn it, they will keep it forever. Since flowers say it best I thought for Mother's Day this year I would share a project with you that can be personalized and given to all of the moms in your life. You can become the florist of Cut Flowers turned bouquets. You can choose the flower shapes, colors and sizes. You can choose the vignette, and the best part is, you can choose your favorite mothers to share them with. This is the first project I want to share with you from my Cut Flowers collection on Lettering Delights. To make the Mother's Day card (shown on the easel) and the flowers wrapped in the paper hanky (shown below); as well as all of the flowers in the blue vase, I chose petal shapes from all of the cut flowers sets. I also used the vines set for the leaves (on the card) and the hanky is from the accessories set. I will provide the larger card that reads "Happy Mother's Day and the mini gift card as freebies, so you can complete these projects. In addition to the LD files, to complete this card and paper hanky bouquet, you will need mini brads to hold the flowers together and you might want ribbon, twine or lace for the wrapper tie. To create the card ~ once I had the large card printed and trimmed (download freebie from my U-Pick button at right), I played around with different layers, colors and sizes of the cut flowers sets (on LD), then put a brad through them to hold them together. I then cut the leaf vine pieces, trimmed as needed for positioning and glued them onto the card before any of the flowers were added. Once I knew where I wanted the flowers to lay on the card, I pin puncturing the card (using a thick needle) in the locations for the bradded flowers to be positioned and held. They did not have to be glued. To get the flowers to lift and curl I used a bamboo skewer (or a thin paintbrush handle works) with petal between it and my thumb to slightly bend the petals of some of the flowers. This provides a great 3-D look to the card. You may want to bend the flowers before attaching to the card. Think of this technique as curled ribbons on a gift, but be very slow and careful when bending if your paper is light weight so as not to tear. I used mostly 24lb. paper for this project (except for the card and hanky wrap). To create the bouquet wrapped in the paper hanky ~ I stacked and curled the petals and connected them with brads until I had four complete flowers. I then glued each flower to a small/short bamboo skewer to allow the cut flower to slide down into the folded hanky. The hanky had been cut and folded. I then positioned each flower, and glued the mini gift card (which had already been printed and trimmed) to the hanky. The mini gift card is also a freebie on my U-Pick button. In the photo above, you will see the samples and parts needed for these two projects. Tomorrow I will share helpful hints and tips for making the cut flowers in the vase. Here are the free cards to download from my U-Pick button, just click on it at right and choose the cards you want to print on 8.5 x 11 cardstock and trim as needed. I also made cards for other occasions (thinking of you, happy birthday and congratulations) so that these can be used throughout the year. I made the mini card design with the additional option of "thinking of you" to print and use as well. Flowers say it better, LD says it best! Now get to LD and see what kind of bouquet you want to personalize for your mom this Mother's Day. You can also click through to LD by using my Sheri's Creations button at the top right. Happy Mother's, Mommy's, Mom's, Mamma's, and Ma's Day to all you special women who share these names! You have the flower power to create! Today Lettering Delights is debuting my floral collection called Cut Flowers. I'm quite excited about this collection because it consists of a variety of cut-it files with never-ending project possibilities. It is a collection that can keep you cutting fresh flowers all year long. When you choose Cut Flowers on LD you will find five sets of floral petal shapes; a set of leaf shapes and a set of vine shapes; an alphabet cameo set; as well as accessories, floral picks and pennants. These complete sets will set in motion your own florist shop, without the worries of wilting flowers. In the chart at top you will find the sets that are available on Lettering Delights, color coded for ease and fun. Of course you will want to make your own colorful flower arrangements to suit your style and needs, and with cut-it files it's as easy as choosing your own shades of paper and cutting out the pieces. I will be sharing many project ideas over the next few weeks that can be made with Cut Flowers and hope you will check in often to see the latest arrangements, party themes, gifts, cards, and even décor that can be made with these Cut Flowers files. Here is a sneak peek of a few of the projects I will be sharing. and give baked goods a run for their money . . . and that's just the first few days of creating. I can't wait to see all of the projects you will create once you have the power that comes with the cut flower files from LD. Get over to LD now (or click on my Sheri's Creations button at top right) to pick these flowers as they burst into blooms! One of the joys of working with companies in other countries is learning about their unique cultures, including customs that go beyond the simple images that often pop into our heads when we hear the name of a place. The week that just ended, for instance, was "Golden Week" in Japan, a series of national holidays that represent the longest vacation week in the Japanese year and apparently prompts a strong urge to shop! I didn't know about Golden Week until a new licensing partner, based in Japan, told me that the stationery they were developing based on my patterns would be debuting to the Japanese public exclusively at a Tokyo department store during Golden Week. This project has been a year in the making, following a very fortunate encounter I had in New York last year with staff from Gakken Sta:Ful Co., Ltd., a leading Japanese stationery manufacturer. I am extremely pleased by Gakken's selection and combination of my designs and color choices as applied to these little parcels of beauty now available in Japan. The full line includes eight distinct stationery and envelope sets, with address labels for application over the patterned envelopes. There are also eight different A6-size, or western envelopes, eight B-size or "oriental" envelopes with a flap on the narrow end, and twelve mini envelopes (known as "Pochi"-type, and typically used for gifts of money). After making the line available during Golden Week to a single department store chain (point-of-purchase display shown below), Gakken sent its salespeople to other retailers and took so many orders that they've already decided to make more! The line is also traveling back over the Pacific to Gakken's American distributor, Los Angeles-based Ginko Papers, which will have a booth at the National Stationery Show (NSS) in New York this month. Even better, the letter sets from the collection have been selected as a finalist for the "Best New Product" category at the show, and will be on display in the lobby of the Jacob Javits Center where the NSS is held, right next door to the Surtex show I have exhibited at the last five years. The products are being sold under the trademark "Sheri Lynn Designs," a variation on my former "Sheri Berry" and current "Sheri McCulley" brands that Gakken felt would work best in their primary market. The Gakken staff who I have been privileged to work with on this project are as "golden" as their week. Their organization and attention to detail is extraordinary, a perfect fit for my own approach to making art, no matter how small the project or the product.

WASHINGTON - A Nοrth Carοlina Republican will serve as the party's top member οn the House of Representatives cοmmittee overseeing banks and financial services, lawmakers annοunced Thursday. House Republicans voted to name Representative Patrick McHenry as the ranking Republican οn the Financial Services Committee, where he will serve as the main bulwark to Demοcrats after that party takes cοntrοl of the panel in January. In a statement, McHenry said he would wοrk to imprοve access to banking and financial services, while encοuraging regulatοrs to cοntinue their effοrts to trim rules. "In the two years ahead, I look fοrward to wοrking with my cοlleagues — bοth Republicans and Demοcrats alike — to prοduce innοvative solutiοns that increase access to banking services and credit fοr all Americans. In additiοn, I will wοrk in close cοnsultatiοn with the Trump Administratiοn to ensure their οngοing regulatοry relief effοrts cοntinue," he said. With Republicans pοised to serve in the minοrity of the House fοr the first time since 2010 fοllowing November electiοn losses, McHenry will nοt be in a pοsitiοn to set the cοmmittee's agenda. That job is likely to fall to Representative Maxine Waters, the panel's top Demοcrat, who has yet to be fοrmally named as the cοmmittee's next chair. McHenry has served in Cοngress and οn the cοmmittee since 2005, and currently is the panel's vice chairman. He has identified financial innοvatiοn, housing finance refοrm and financial inclusiοn as some of his top pοlicy priοrities.

I'm not a professional photographer, but I enjoy taking pictures with my smartphone. What I don't like is the resulting filenames that are meaningless to me, yet appear to have order. Instead of fretting about the situation, I found a great file renaming utility called RenameMaestro. Although you may associate the name "maestro" with music, this software works on multiple file types, ranging from MP3s to photos to PDFs. It's no surprise to most readers that I hate buying printer ink. I find the process wasteful and expensive even if I recycle empty ink cartridges. You can imagine my joy when I found a free utility that saves ink and paper. It does this by allowing me to select the items from a web page I wish to print. It even saves web pages as a PDF file. Have you ever called tech support on a browser or plug-in problem and their first suggestion is to reset your Internet Explorer settings? That's where you have to delete your cookies and change your security settings back to the defaults. There's a free plugin that takes the next step and restores your settings from a backup. If you're looking for free tools that can help clean your system or remove tracking information, this one is well worth your time. It's fast, clean and allows you the ability to decide what to remove. It may not have as many options as commercial programs, but it certainly alleviates your privacy concerns and clears the unwanted files from your computer.

SHORT SHOTS IN BRIEF, THE LATEST CARGO AIRLINE INDUSTRY NEWS. Antonov Airlines sees revenues soar It was not just 2017 which was a good year for Antonov Airlines, but also the first five months of 2018 show a notable revenue increase. The Kiev-based carrier which also has established its UK headquarters at London-Stansted Airport, saw revenues for 2017 rise by a massive 81 percent. The carrier states that this growth is thanks to their having set up their UK headquarters where much business is being generated and also thanks to the strategic partnership with Dreamlifts Limited. Antonov Airlines has not revealed actual revenues generated, but also states that the first five months of this year saw revenues increasing by 42 percent over those of last year. The joining of forces by the Antonov Company and Dreamlifts has it seems ensured that business opportunities and contracts won by Antonov Airlines have soared. There are seven AN-124 "Ruslan" aircraft in their fleet and the company is busy trying to find ways to work with Western suppliers in order to modernise the fleet and keep these heavy lift transporters in the air for many years to come. It also operates AN-22 turboprop freighters which can carry up to 60 tonnes, as well as the only AN-225 "Mriya" transporter with a 250 tonne payload capacity. Antonov Airlines reports remarkable leap in revenues LH Cargo and freights offer eBooking digitisation Freightos WebCargo and Lufthansa Cargo have joined forces to try and radically decrease the number of manual air freight bookings still being done worldwide. They say that the slow transfer to digitised bookings is still costing the industry billions of dollars or euros each year and continues to result in an average six-day transit time despite most flights only taking a few hours. Both companies have developed what they term as an 'application programming interface (API) service' which is meant to enable forwarders to be able to search for contracted rates, asses capacity available and book their shipments much faster than before. Both LH Cargo and Freightos are convinced that this new system can speed up the booking and transport chain and they plan to expand this globally in the near future. The first rollout will be in the European market. Dirk Schneider, Global Airfreight Director of Röhlig Logistics is it seems convinced of the new system and commented "The new functionality enables rapid quoting and booking of our shipments. Röhlig Logistics customers benefit as one of the first through improved information flow and handling of their consignments." Lars Magnusson joins TIACA Advisory Committee TIACA's Shipper Advisory Committee has gained Lars Magnusson as the new Ericsson Industry and Society representative. The Advisory committee is made up of representatives from different industries with the aim of encouraging all sectors of the air cargo supply chain to enter into discussions to advance technology and new processes. Mr Magnusson who brings more than 25 years experience in international supply chain management, specialises in digitisation. He is responsible for Business Architecture, Deliver, at Ericsson AB and is based in Stockholm. He is also currently part of the American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS) Digitisation Task Force. On his appointment Magnusson commented that: "TIACA is the only organisation representing all corners of the air freight supply chain and joining the Shippers Advisory Committee is an opportunity to help the industry improve digital processes and collaborate with colleagues from different sectors." K+N was founded in 1890 as indicated on the license plate of the Mercedes truck K+N has god first half year Switzerland-based logistics giant Kuehne + Nagel has seen growth rising quite rapidly during the first six months of this year. They recently stated that all units saw strong volume growth and that with a stiff cost-management system in place, K+N were able to further improve their financial results. A significant increase in EBIT was recorded and the EBIT-to-gross-profit ratio (conversion rate) was maintained at a high level. The airfreight sector showed a tonnage increase of 18.1% to 863,000 tons. Industry specific solutions made a particularly important contribution. Compared to the previous year, EBIT increased by 20.5% to CHF 182 million. A further increase was also recorded in the conversion rate which with 31% is at a high level. The Seafreight, Overland and Contract Logistics sectors also came in with good results during the first half-year. Seafreight volumes rose by 8.1% thanks to new business being obtained. In the Overland sector net turnover rose by 17.7% and gross profit went up by 16.5%. Here, the EBIT picture showed a 48.3% rise to CHF 43 million (€36.9 mn). Last, but not least, Contract Logistics net turnover increased by 12.2% and gross profit by 11.3%. Hactl introduces IATA handling audit system Hong Kong-based cargo handler, Hactl is now the first cargo terminal operator (CTO) worldwide who has completed a pilot project for IATA's new Facility Operational Capacity Audit (SFOC). The SFOC is part of the Smart facility programme which aims to provide total transparency on capacities and services offered by CTO's, by means of a multi-tiered validation process. This, Hactl states could ensure that thousands of man hours are saved annually by doing away with duplicated auditing efforts. Hactl was chosen by IATA as a launch test site for the new audit system because of the 'scale and complexity of its operations, the diverse range of cargo it handles, the number of carriers (100) it serves and the company's highly-developed quality management systems.' American Airlines Cargo gets a taste for Asparagus Fresh asparagus is in high demand in restaurants and homes across the globe and requires fast and efficient handling when being transported by air to ensure it re-mains fresh for the end-consumer. American Airlines Cargo has played an important role here and recently announced that they had transported almost 12 million pounds of fresh asparagus during the first six months of this year. Most of the asparagus that AA Cargo transported was produced in Mexico and Peru and was destined for markets in Asia and Europe. The green asparagus is especially in demand in Asian restaurants. Large amounts were moved daily between Los Angeles and Tokyo. John Mc Donagh

Pete Carroll's post-game interview was one for the ages . He should consider himself lucky he wasn't the coach of the Colombian national soccer team because by now his head would have been in a goddamn noose, while also having been castrated for good measure . It was total nonsense. The more he spoke the more ridiculous he sounded. Sometimes it's just better to fess-up, admit what you did, and move on. It was his OC Darrell Bevell who made the call however, and so Carroll was just covering for him. Carroll is the head coach, is he not ? He does have the final say , doesn't he ? If you're going to overrule your coordinators, then why have them in the first place? As much as Pete Carroll was seeking to defend Darrell Bevell , his explanation was still idiotic and without merit . With apologies to Mark Cuban…you cannot throw the ball where Seattle threw the ball. Bottom line. The Super Bowl was theirs. Until it wasn't.

this URL was pointed out to me by Tommy Stevens of Texas. The phrase to be on cloud nine, meaning that one was blissfully happy, started life in the United States and has been widely known there since the 1950s; it's since spread worldwide. It's said to have been popularised by the Johnny Dollar radio show of that period, in which every time the hero was knocked unconscious he was transported to Cloud Nine. But that wasn't the origin of the phrase. It's been around since the 1930s, though early examples show a lot of numerical variability, with the cloud sometimes being as low as number seven or eight or as high as thirty-nine, though seven and nine were most common. These discrepancies make me suspect the usual explanation of its origin, which is that it comes from the US Weather Bureau. The story is that this organisation describes (or once described) clouds by an arithmetic sequence. Level Nine was the very highest cumulonimbus, which can reach 30,000 or 40,000 feet and appear as glorious white mountains in the sky. So if you were on cloud nine you were at the very peak of existence. In Danish the expression with the same meaning is called "Den syvende Himmel". To be in the seventh Heaven is to be at the top of the world.

All he needed was the score of his last round. That's because the 45-year-old Cumberland man is intrinsically motivated, and therefore tends to focus on improving his own game and not how he fares in the standings each time out. That approach just so happened to propel Shreve to the inaugural MVP presented by AlleganyPlayground.com and Ryan's Disc Golf Stop as the most successful, consistent player during the debut season of the Fall/Winter Doubles League. Over the 18-week season from Oct. 24 through Feb. 27, Shreve competed 16 times and won at least a share of first place on eight occasions. The MVP award is on a points-based system that rewards a high level of play and participation. Each week, players can earn five points for a win or shared win, four points for second place, three points for third place, two points for an ace and one point for completing a round. Play was completed on the course in Cumberland and at Mile Lane Disc Golf in Mount Savage. Shreve finished the season with 65 points, followed by David Warder in second place with 53 points and Scott Mallery in third with 48 points. All three will be recognized on the first night of Spring League play on March 17 at Central Assembly of God in Cumberland. Nicki Raynor, 45, of Vale Summit, was the top female competitor, finishing 14th among 23 players. Raynor earned eight points over two Sunday afternoons. Josiah Spradlin led the 18-and-under division with seven points earned over seven weeks of competition. Bill Shreve Shreve was one of three players in league play to throw an ace. He did so on Dec. 5 from the red No. 7 tee at Central. That day happened to end in a playoff with Warder, as both players had finished the round of 18 baskets with a score of 52. Shreve's consistency in play helped him contend for the MVP award even before its creation and initial standings were announced at the season's midway point. After three weeks, Mallery stood atop the standings with 15 points and Shreve was second with 14 points. Warder made his first appearance in Fall/Winter Doubles League play in Week 3 on Nov. 7, and — with a share of the win and an ace — promptly cut Mallery's lead nearly in half. David Warder Shreve took the lead in Week 5 on Nov. 28. While Mallery and Warder did not play that weekend, Shreve finished with the low score among the five players present to give him 20 MVP points. At that point, Mallery was in second place with 19 points, followed by Ethan Shreve (16), Colby Mallery (15), Kevin Spradlin (13), Warder (12) and Keith Raynor (10). Things began heat up as the temperatures went down and the new year began. Warder three of the first five weeks, but played in five consecutive weeks from Dec. 5 through Jan. 2. After the first weekend of 2022, Shreve led with 36 points, followed by Warder (33), Scott Mallery (28), Raynor (25), Ethan Shreve (24) and Colby Mallery (23). Scott Mallery What stands out at that point, among other things, is that Ethan Von Hagel, 19, of Cumberland, had played only one week through Dec. 26. With a share of fourth place, he earned a single point — giving him a total of two points through Week 10. Von Hagel, though, played every week of the second half of the season and vaulted up the standings. In the final nine weeks, Von Hagel won a share of first place three times (15 points) and second place five times (20) points to finish fifth overall. Shreve, meanwhile, said he has been playing disc golf for four and one-half years. He and his family learned of the sport while on vacation in Virginia Beach, Va. Shreve said they went to a sporting goods store to buy a starter set to go play a round. Bill Shreve accepts his plaque at basket No. 1 on the course at Central. Since then, Shreve has taken advantage of work-related travel to play courses in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina and Texas. His favorite, though, is Ditto Farms in Hagerstown because the course, with its mix of open and wooded baskets, offers a variety of challenges.

Combine adrenaline thrills with autumn colour as you bounce, swing and zipline through the treetops at Zip World Fforest, which offers six "adventures" in woodland in the Conwy valley. The Treetop Nets, Europe's longest net walkway, and the Fforest Coaster are gentlest. Older children may prefer Plummet 2, which opens on 19 October, where they will be dropped 30 metres through a trapdoor, for a near free-fall experience, courtesy of two powerfans. And if that isn't scary enough, a Ffear Fforest Night Pass (20 Oct–4 Nov) gives evening entry to the park and access to the tree nets and Fforest Coaster, with lots of Halloween frights and extras.

Q: VScode "iostream" file not found in .h file while it's ok in .cpp file When I'm writing a header file, the editor can't find <iostream>. And the std namespace can't be detected as well. num.h #include "tag.h" #include "token.h" #include <iostream> #include <stdio.h> #include <string> #ifndef NUM_H_ #define NUM_H_ class Num : public Token { public: int value; Num(int v) : Token(Tag::NUM) { value = v; }; std::string toString() {return " "+std::to_string(value);} }; #endif But the strange thing is, when I create a file that includes this header file, and write some demo code to test if this header file really works, then it works fine. num.cpp #include "num.h" int main() { Num n(1); std::string a = n.toString(); std::cout<<a; } Here is what I get after running it: I also find that it's fine to write #include <iostream> in the .cpp file, there won't be any error. It's quite strange, I don't know what's wrong. Maybe it's a bug in VScode?

La Classe Kagitingan est une classe de patrouilleur côtier en service actuellement dans la Marine philippine. Histoire Les patrouilleurs de classe Kagitingan ont été conçus et construits en Allemagne, sous contrat avec la Marine philippine dans les années 1970, avec l'intention d'une production éventuelle aux Philippines. La première unité, produit par les chantiers navals W. Muller fut le en . Son sister-ship, le est probablement sorti du même chantier naval allemand ou du chantier philippin Dockyards Corp. en 1979. Les deux autres, le (1982) et le (1983) ont été construits au chantier naval philippin Cavite Naval SY à Cavite. Actuellement deux sont encore en service : BRP Bagong Lakas (PG-102) et BRP Bagong Silang (PG-104). Ils ont bénéficié d'une refonte en 1994. Le BRP Kagitingan (PG-101) a été mis hors service en 2004 ainsi que le BRP Katapangan (PG-103) à une date indéterminée.

Just received a nice package. Ooh-er missus, etc. I'm giving the subscription a go and have just had my second package arrive. Four parts delivered together unlike the two that came initially. Part 3: Comes with 3 Ultramarine Reivers, 3 bases and a pot of Leadbelcher paint. Part 4: Comes with 6 Poxwalkers, 6 bases and a pot of Bugman's Glow paint. Part 5: Comes with only one model, Ultramarine Lieutenant Calsius. No paint. Part 6: Comes with 3 Tainted Sons of Nurgle. No paint. The Nurgle models are absolutely stunning in detail which is nice but makes them a bugger to paint if your an amateur such as myself. "Would you like to open Box No. 3?" Part 7: Comes with 2 pots of shade. Agrax Earthshade and Nuln Oil. No models. Part 8: Comes with one model of a Space Marine Librarian. No paint. Part 9: Comes with 6 Poxwalker reinforcements. No paint. Part 10: Comes with a Myphitic Blight-Hauler (a Nurgle tank). No paint. I have an abundance of Poxwalkers and can't be arsed to paint them all. If any one would like some send me PM and you can have them for free. I've found myself picking up the issues as they appeared in Smiths but having missed issue 8 last weekend I decided to do a sub after all, and, contrary to everything we know about Hachette my order arrived in less than 5 days. Bonkers. They didn't send the issues I was expecting, mind. Luckily I can return #7 which I already have. Pick any number between 3 and 5......4 it is then. Part 11: Comes with 3 Ultramarine Primaris aggressors. No paint. Part 12: Comes with a Foul-Blightspawn of Nurgle. No paint. Part 13: Comes with scenery. A Munitorum armoured container, some barrels and other bits. No paint. Part 14: Comes with a Dry brush and a pot of Mechanicus standard grey. I also received a painting handle and an empty box that holds glue. I'm not sure I need an empty box but here we are. My invoice actually lists the item as 'Glue packaging' so it doesn't seem to be a mistake. Bizarre! also received a painting handle and an empty box that holds glue. I'm not sure I need an empty box but here we are. As I understand it the glue packaging was supposed to be around the glue tube with delivery one but they didn't send it. No doubt for health reasons the have decided it must still be sent to subscribers. Not got my delivery yet tho it was allocated on 30th. Expect early part of this week. My glue came in a nice cardboard sleeve. Maybe I'll have two! "With the power of five combined I summon Captain Planet!" Or something. Part 15: Comes with a 'Biologus Putrifier' and some dice. Part 16: Comes with Ultramarine reinforcements. Part 17: Comes with some more scenery which is similar to Part 13. Part 18: Comes with a game mat and two pots of basecoat, Mephiston Red and Rakarth Flesh. I also received a poster featuring various Space Marine chapters which is quite nice if you like that sort of thing. I couldn't think where else to post this, but Warhammer Adventures just crossed my path. Kids Audio adventures... set in a universe of nightmares , where life is largely slavery in the name of a dead god? I've never got WH, either, but of late I've noted a lot of white supremacists on that there internet seem to be into it, so I presume it involves fighting factions of orcs dedicated to eating soy products and/or propagating feminism. Or they've had to go to something that greatly divests from reality in order to find something analogous to their toilet philosophy.

School lets out for the Summer in just a week now, and we're getting ready to celebrate my son's first year of Elementary school with a fun mom-son trip! Five days after he leaves Kindergarten for the last time, we'll be on a plane out of Texas to go see the Blue Man Group. As a child, we watched Blue Man Group on television, but I never got to see it live. I was always fascinated by the drums, the paint and the way they stare while they play on stage. Everything about it seemed magical. Having the chance to not only see it live, but to share it with my six year old, is thrilling! He keeps whispering to me I cant wait to go see the show mommy. He's seen a video here and there, and has already told me he plans to make his own instruments inspired by Blue Man Group instruments as soon as we get back. The show in Las Vegas is held at Luxor hotel and casino, which means you can be super close to the action by staying on site. The theater in Luxor Hotel and Casino was specially designed for Blue Man Group! It sounds like it will be an amazing experience to see the show live, in their own theater! The Blue Man Group is all about pushing the boundaries, connecting with your inner child, and celebrating the connection between people! I'm so excited to be sharing this experience with my oldest, who has taught me to live life in full color since the day he was born. He loves life, inventing and exploring. He's shown me how to step outside the box and be creative in ways I never thought I would. And now, we get to experience the most out-of-the-box show ever, including a behind-the-scenes look! It's not just us though, Blue Man Group has allowed me to give away TWO tickets to the show in Las Vegas. Simply comment below and let me know if you have ever been to a Blue Man Group show, and who you'd take if you won! Hey Buddy!, I found this information for you: "Headed to live in full color with Blue Man Group". Here is the website link: https://www.beautythroughimperfection.com/headed-to-the-live-in-full-color/. Thank you.

The Winklevoss twins have been ordered to pay Charlie Shrem, their former business partner and founder of the Bitcoin Foundation, $45,000 in legal fees, according to court documents published February 7, 2019. A new update has been given in the case of the Winklevoss twins and Charlie Shrem, in which the former business partners went to court over a bitcoin deal gone sour. In a court document filed on February 7, 2019, it was revealed that the twins have been ordered to pay Shrem $45,000 in legal fees. The twins had first sued Shrem, the founder of the Bitcoin Foundation, in November 2018 for allegedly stealing 5,000 bitcoins from the duo during a 2012 business deal, a claim Shrem's camp has adamantly denied. "Either Shrem has been incredibly lucky and successful since leaving prison, or — more likely — he 'acquired' his six properties, two Maseratis, two powerboats and other holdings with the appreciated value of the 5,000 Bitcoin he stole," the lawsuit said, implying that Shrem was living large off the funds he stole before serving a one-year prison sentence for buying drugs using Bitcoin. The judge at the time agreed to freeze some of Shrem's assets. The deal in question took place in 2012 when the twins and Shrem were investing in a project called BitInstant, of which Shrem was in charge. The Winklevoss twins paid Shrem $250,000 and only received $189,000 worth of bitcoin in return at the time when a single bitcoin was trading for $12.50. The three men eventually fell out and the twins severed their business ties with Shrem. After Shrem's prison stint, a private investigator was hired who eventually tracked down the missing 5,000 BTC to Shrem. Despite this, Shrem has maintained his innocence in the matter. Since then, the twins have founded Gemini, a cryptocurrency exchange, and Shrem has been making a steady comeback in the cryptocurrency industry. The Winklevosses have now been ordered to pay Shrem to cover his legal fees. The next hearing is scheduled for June 2018.

Q: NestJS gRPC route 404 I'm using the NestJS gRPC tutorial project: https://github.com/nestjs/nest/blob/master/sample/04-grpc/ hero.proto file contents: syntax = "proto3"; package hero; service HeroService { rpc FindOne (HeroById) returns (Hero) {} } message HeroById { int32 id = 1; } message Hero { int32 id = 1; string name = 2; } From what I understand, defines the path as: /hero.HeroService/FindOne hero.controller.ts contents: @Controller() export class HeroController implements OnModuleInit { @GrpcMethod('HeroService') findOne(data: HeroById): Hero { const items: Hero[] = [{ id: 1, name: 'John' }, { id: 2, name: 'Doe' }]; return items.find(({ id }) => id === data.id); } } Which in theory should expose the method at: http://localhost:3001/hero.HeroService/FindOne But when called, produces this error: error: "Not Found" message: "Cannot POST /hero.HeroService/FindOne" statusCode: 404 I know i'm hitting NestJS because I have middleware logging. If I hit a GET route it works and returns the correct data, but GRPC routes are all 404s. What am I missing? I've tried @Controller('hero') instead to try prefixing the path. It doesn't seem easy to have NestJS log out all of the gRPC endpoints for me to debug... Full project source code is here: https://github.com/kmturley/angular-nest-grpc ------ UPDATE ------- Installed grpc_cli using: brew tap grpc/grpc brew install --with-plugins grpc Then tried to view the endpoints using: export GRPC_VERBOSITY=DEBUG grpc_cli ls localhost:3001 And got the error: Received an error when querying services endpoint. Or using: grpc_cli call localhost:3001 FindOne "id: 1" --protofiles=src/hero/hero.proto I get the error: ServerReflectionInfo rpc failed. Error code: 14, details: OS Error A: Solved it by adding an additional line to grpc-client.options.ts to define the url: export const grpcClientOptions: ClientOptions = { transport: Transport.GRPC, options: { url: 'localhost:50051', package: 'hero', protoPath: join(__dirname, './hero/hero.proto'), }, }; Then I could connect to it on that port using: grpc_cli call localhost:50051 FindOne "id: 1" --protofiles=backend/src/hero/hero.proto You can see it working here: https://github.com/kmturley/angular-nest-grpc A: the default port of grpc transport is 5000 in nestjs, see https://github.com/nestjs/nest/blob/v6.10.14/packages/microservices/constants.ts#L8

Q: Trapezoidal method, deriving error boundary. The trapezoid rule on an interval $[a,b]$ is $$\frac{b-a}{2}(f(a)+f(b))=\int_a^bf(x) \ dx +\frac{f''(\xi)}{12}(b-a)^3, \quad \xi\in[a,b]. \tag i$$ The trapezoid formula is $$T(h)=h\left[\frac{f(x_0)}{2}+f(x_1)+...+f(x_{n-1})+\frac{f(x_n)}{2}\right],\tag{ii} $$ where $x_i=a+ih$ and $h=(b-a)/n.$ Derive the error boundary $$|T(h)-I|\le\frac{h^2}{3},$$ where $I=\int_{-1}^1f(x) \ dx$ and $f(x)=e^{-x^2}.$ The solution is the following: Let $x_0=-1,...,x_i=-1+ih,...,x_n=1,$ where $h=2/n.$ Now we have that $$ \begin{align} T(h) &=\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}\frac{h}{2}(f(x_i)+f(x_{i+1}))\tag1\\ &=\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}\frac{x_{i+1}-x_i}{2}(f(x_i)+f(x_{i+1}))\tag2\\ &=\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}\left[\int_{x_i}^{x_{i+1}}f(x) \ dx + \frac{f''(\xi)}{12}(x_{i+1}-x_i)^3\right]\tag3\\ &=\int_{-1}^1f(x) \ dx + \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}\frac{f''(\xi)}{12}h^3,\tag4 \end{align} $$ thus $$ \begin{align} \left|T(h)-\int_{-1}^1f(x) \ dx\right| &=\left|\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}\frac{f''(\xi)}{12}h^3\right|\tag5\\ &\le\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}\left|\frac{f''(\xi)}{12}h^3\right|\tag6\\ &\le\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}\left|\frac{2}{12}h^3\right|= nh\frac{1}{6}h^2=\frac{h^2}{3}\tag7\\ \end{align} $$ Questions: 1) What is happening in the first line? how can $x_0=-1,...,x_i?$ 2) I don't understand how they set upp equation $(1)$ 3) Going from $(3)$ to $(4)$, how do the integral boundaries change to $-1$ and $1$? A: 1) What is happening in the first line? how can $x_0=-1,...,x_i?$ This is just notation, what it means is \begin{eqnarray} x_0 &=& -1 \\ x_1 &=& -1 + h \\ &\vdots& \\ x_i &=& -1 + ih \\ &\vdots& \\ x_n &=& -1 + nh = -1 + n(2/n) = 1 \end{eqnarray} 2) I don't understand how they set upp equation $(1)$ Consider this graph, the are of one of the area element is the area o trapezium $$ S_i = \frac{1}{2}(x_{i + 1}- x_{i})(f(x_{i + 1}) + f(x_{i})) = \frac{h}{2} (f(x_{i + 1}) + f(x_{i})) $$ The are is estimated by summing all these elements $$ S = \sum_i S_i = \sum_i \frac{h}{2} (f(x_{i + 1}) + f(x_{i})) $$ 3) Going from $(3)$ to $(4)$, how do the integral boundaries change to $-1$ and $1$? Remember that Remember that $$ \int_{a}^c f(x)~{\rm d}x + \int_{c}^b f(x)~{\rm d}x = \int_{a}^b f(x)~{\rm d}x $$ So that $$ \int_{x_0=-1}^{x_1} f(x)~{\rm d}x + \int_{x_1}^{x_2} f(x)~{\rm d}x + \cdots + \int_{x_{n-11}}^{x_n=1} f(x)~{\rm d}x = \int_{-1}^{-1} f(x)~{\rm d}x $$ A: 1) In this case, $[a,b]$ corresponds to $[-1,1]$. Defining $x_i = a + ih, i = 0,1,\dots,n$, with $h = \dfrac{2}{n}$, we then have \begin{align*} x_0 & = -1 + 0(h) = -1 \\ x_n & = -1 + nh = -1 + n\left(\frac{2}{n}\right) = -1 + 2 = 1. \end{align*} 2) This is just an alternative way of writing the trapezoidal rule in summation notation. Simply write out the summation and you should see that this is exactly the trapezoidal rule. Geometrically, $T(h)$ says that we interpolate the function over each subinterval by taking the average of the endpoint values. 3) Going from (3) to (4), we use the definition of $x_i$. More precisely, since $$ [-1,1] = [x_0,x_1]\cup [x_1,x_2]\cup \dots \cup [x_{n-1},x_n], $$ we have that \begin{align*} \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}\int_{x_i}^{x_{i+1}} f(x)dx & = \int_{x_0}^{x_1} f(x)dx + \int_{x_1}^{x_2} f(x)dx + \dots + \int_{x_{n-1}}^{x_n} f(x)dx \\ & = \int_{[x_0,x_1]\cup[x_1,x_2]\cup\dots\cup[x_{n-1},x_n]} f(x)dx \\ & = \int_{x_0}^{x_n} f(x)dx \\ & = \int_{-1}^1 f(x)dx. \end{align*} A: Please rename the two equations from the exercise with anything other than $1$ and $2$. It is a little confusing to have two equations with the same tag, twice. In eq. $(2)$, you have $f(x_1)$ instead of $f(x_i)$ inside the summation. $1)$ That is just notation for \begin{align} x_0&=-1,\\ x_1&=-1+h,\\ x_2&=-1+2h,\\ &\vdots\\ x_i&=-1+i\,h,\\ &\vdots\\ x_{n-1}&=-1+(n-1)\,h,\\ x_n&=-1+n\,h=-1+n(2/n)=1. \end{align} $2)$ Equation $(1)$ was set up from the trapezoid formula: \begin{align} T(h) &=h\left[\frac{f(x_0)}{2}+\color{red}{f(x_1)}+...+\color{blue}{f(x_{n-1})}+\frac{f(x_n)}{2}\right]\\ &=h\left[\frac{f(x_0)}{2}+\color{red}{\frac{f(x_1)}{2}+\frac{f(x_1)}{2}}+...+\color{blue}{\frac{f(x_{n-1})}{2}+\frac{f(x_{n-1})}{2}}+\frac{f(x_n)}{2}\right]\\ &=h\left[ \frac{f(x_0)+f(x_1)}2 +\frac{f(x_1)+f(x_2)}2 +\ldots\right.\\ &\qquad\qquad \left. +\frac{f(x_{n-2})+f(x_{n-1})}2 +\frac{f(x_{n-1})+f(x_n)}2 \right]\\ &= \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} \frac h2 \big(f(x_i)+f(x_{i+1})\big). \end{align} $3)$ Recall that $x_0=-1$ and $x_n=1$. So, $$\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} \int_{x_i}^{x_{i+1}} =\int_{x_0}^{x_1} +\int_{x_1}^{x_2} +\ldots +\int_{x_{n-2}}^{x_{n-1}} +\int_{x_{n-1}}^{x_n} =\int_{x_0}^{x_n} =\int_{-1}^1.$$ A: 1)The first line simply writes: $x_i=-1+i \cdot2/n$, for $i = 1,2...,n$. 2)You may "decompose" the trapezoid formula : $T(h)=h[\frac{f(x_0)}{2}+f(x_1)+...+f(x_{n−1})+\frac{f(x_{n})}{2}]=$ $h[\frac{f(x_0)}{2}+[\frac{f(x_1)}{2}+\frac{f(x_1)}{2}]+...+[\frac{f(x_{n−1})}{2}+\frac{f(x_{n−1})}{2}]+\frac{f(x_{n})}{2}]$ Then pair up $\frac{f(x_{i-1})}{2}$ and $\frac{f(x_i)}{2}$ $h[[\frac{f(x_0)}{2}+\frac{f(x_1)}{2}]+[\frac{f(x_1)}{2}+\frac{f(x_2)}{2}]...+[\frac{f(x_{n−2})}{2}+\frac{f(x_{n−1})}{2}]+[\frac{f(x_{n−1})}{2}+\frac{f(x_{n})}{2}]]$ 3)You might have heard of a theorem about integration: $\int^{c}_{b} f+\int^{b}_{a} f = \int^{c}_{a} f$ Then apply this to 3.

Reuters — A California jury on Friday found Monsanto liable in a lawsuit filed by a man who alleged the company's glyphosate-based herbicides, including Roundup, caused his cancer and ordered the company to pay US$289 million in damages. The case of school groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson was the first lawsuit to go to trial alleging glyphosate causes cancer. Monsanto, a unit of Bayer AG following a $62.5 billion acquisition by the German conglomerate, faces more than 5,000 similar lawsuits across the United States (all figures US$). — Tina Bellon is a Reuters legal reporter based in New York.

That empathetic streak runs through her debut album, Lightchasers. The record eases into gear with the title track, an unhurried folk-pop hybrid built on a bed of synths and O'Connor's light-chasing harmonies. The natural imagery is a good fit–this is patient, quietly-built music. "Lightchasers" appears on Lightchasers, out February 3.

(Thinkstock/Getty images) By law, California has to educate citizens about cannabis. But does official weed site make the grade? Published: Oct 9, 2017, 2:01 pm • Updated: Mar 21, 2018, 10:12 am By Ana B. Ibarra, Kaiser Health News SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Every day, Anna Denny encounters people who know their way around a joint. Denny owns Elevated 916, a smoke shop in north Sacramento that sells tobacco products and smoking accessories. But many of her customers don't limit their smoking to tobacco. Because they've been there, done that, Denny just can't imagine them using a new state website that offers resources — and plenty of warnings — about the use of marijuana now that lighting up recreationally is legal in California. "Some of this, I can see it being useful for a grandma who might be interested [in marijuana] and is getting her information from her grandson," Denny said. "In that case, this website is probably a better source." Grandmas and all other Californians can now visit the "Let's Talk Cannabis" website launched last month by the state Department of Public Health. The site is the first step in the department's public education campaign to inform state residents about the drug as it becomes more widely used and available. Related: Video: 'Grandmas smoking weed for the first time' is genius Last November, voters approved Proposition 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, making California one of eight states — plus the District of Columbia — to legalize the drug for recreational use. California's recreational measure immediately made it legal for adults 21 and over to possess up to 1 ounce or 28.5 grams of cannabis, although the state delayed sales by licensed retailers until the beginning of next year. Colorado and Washington were the first to approve recreational use, passing referendums in 2012. Maine marijuana radio show educating listeners on law Marijuana is legal, but D.A.R.E. sticks to its old-school approach Here's why parents should talk to their kids about marijuana use Ohio awards $1M contract for marijuana help line To educate people about marijuana, Colorado health officials tried ads with a radically friendly tone. Did it work? California's website is not a user guide. Instead, it is geared to youth, parents and drivers, mostly focusing on weed's potential risks and harms. Research on its effects has been mixed, but marijuana has been linked to potential cognitive impairments and driving accidents; it may be hazardous for developing fetuses. Today's dope is also two to seven times stronger than it was in the 1970s, according to researchers at the University of Washington. For novices, the state also helpfully lists the many synonyms for pot, including "weed, grass, ganga, dope, herb, chronic, bud, trees, broccoli, nuggets, skunk, kief, sticky icky, Mary Jane." But in general, California is no stranger to Mary Jane. The state was the first to outlaw it in 1913. In the 1930s and 1940s, anti-weed cultural references were far-reaching and even graced movie posters that warned against the "smoke of hell," linking reefer to crime and "weird orgies." Since then, illegal use has been widespread. Dope experienced a renaissance in the 1960s when gleeful hippies "turned on" by smoking grass. Now, California's pot industry, legal and illegal, is worth billions of dollars. Back in 1996, with the passage of Proposition 215, the Golden State became the first of 29 states, plus the District of Columbia, to allow use of marijuana for medical purposes, with authorization from a doctor. In 2004, the state began issuing medical marijuana ID cards, which allow patients to purchase pot from dispensaries. About 95,000 have been issued so far. "Getting a card is not that hard," said Denny, whose clients have received medical marijuana cards for ailments including menstrual cramps, difficulty sleeping and depression. Devonte Legaspi, 20, a student at Sacramento City College, agrees. "There are even apps that let you FaceTime a doctor for your consultation," he said. Many of his friends have used websites and phone apps to get theirs. "It's so easy," he said. Legaspi hasn't gotten around to getting his own card. But he turns 21 in February, he said, about a month after licensed retailers will be allowed to sell to the public. "Right on time," he said. California's medical marijuana ballot measure didn't require a public education campaign, but this broader law does. "We are committed to providing Californians with science-based information to ensure safe and informed choices," said Karen Smith, director of the Department of Public Health, in a prepared statement. The new website provides details about what's legal to buy, sell and give to others. It's not overtly anti-drug like the infamous "This is your brain on drugs" ads from the 1980s that warned youth that their brains would get fried like eggs if they got high. The site, however, advises pregnant women that if they get stoned, their babies may be born underweight — putting them at risk for all sorts of medical problems. Pet owners are cautioned that Fido might freak — and in rare cases, suffer potentially deadly poisoning — if he accidentally gobbles a pot brownie. And parents who find out their teen is getting baked — which remains illegal — are urged to "stay calm. Overreacting may lead youth to rebel, feel resentment or take greater risks," the state advises. The website has a resource page specifically for youth, but Legaspi doesn't think it will be the first stop for curious teens and young adults. "You ask your friends first, then Google," he said. "I think we've been exposed to it for a while. … We know almost everything there is to know about it." Still, there are things that some young adults want to see on the website. Aatiqah Murdoc, 22, is Legaspi's friend. She wants information about possible ingredients in marijuana products, such as brownies and candies. The site doesn't offer that. But it does warn that "edibles may have higher concentrations of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). If you eat too much, too fast you are at higher risk for poisoning." THC is the chemical responsible for providing marijuana's high. Tamara Cross, who works at Broham Smoke Shop in Sacramento, said she might share the website link with customers who walk in with questions, mostly around legality. "I have a lot of questions myself, so it's good to know this exists," Cross, 24, said. Some customers already ask her when they'll be able to buy marijuana for recreational use, or whether their access to medical pot will change with the new law. Sharon Duplechan, 65, who helps care for four of her grandchildren, voted against legalization last year, she said. As she watched her grandchildren play at a Sacramento park, she said she wishes that the precautions offered on the state website had been more widely available when Californians were deciding how to vote. Now she worries that her grandchildren are growing up in an era when pot is more available and accepted. "The warnings are a little late," she said. "You don't put the cart before the horse."

Firefighters were drafted to more than two thousand deliberate fires during last year's Bonfire season, latest figures reveal. The statistics show that crews responded to 1214 secondary fires - such as bonfires – as well as 748 refuse fires between October 13 and November 6, 2017. This is an overall reduction of 421 from 2016 but Assistant Chief Officer David McGown branded those responsible as "reckless" and told how they put communities at risk. He spoke out to warn that firefighters will work closely with Police Scotland and Crimestoppers. But he also appealed to parents, carers and young people to follow advice to stay safe this Bonfire season including attending organised fireworks displays. ACO McGown is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service's Director of Prevention and Protection. "It presents a danger to life, property and the environment – indeed, it is reckless in the extreme because we see all too clearly the loss and the devastation that can result from fire. "I am pleased to note a reduction in the amount of deliberate incidents we attended last year but we can never be complacent and we will always work to prevent them from happening in the first place by outlining the very real dangers and the stark consequences. The experienced firefighter also reached out to communities to follow safety advice. He added: "It absolutely goes without saying that we prefer to prevent fires – not fight fires. Anyone with information about deliberate fire-raising should contact the free and confidential Crimestoppers helpline on 0800 555 111.
