Senior Jaclyn O'Hara expresses herself through cosplay As Alois Trancy, senior Jaclyn O'Hara gazes at the camera showing off her blue-color enhancing contacts to match the character accurately. Watching anime is an experience that for many does not extend further than the screen. For senior Jaclyn O'Hara, though, anime is an outlet to express herself through cosplaying her favorite characters. In 2017, O'Hara first realized that she could do cosplay after discovering it online. To achieve the most accurate look possible, O'Hara often uses the internet to find photo references to perfect her cosplaying. "I'm like a perfectionist, so I have to make sure that it looks the best it can look, so for the wigs, I look at a picture of the character, and I really look at how the hair goes, and how short it is exactly, and measure it with me," O'Hara said. "Another thing is the makeup… it really changes, shape-shifts you… Cosplayers are shapeshifters. That's basically what it is." She takes cosplaying seriously, but O'Hara encourages others to explore it and have fun. "Cosplay, first of all, is very much self-expression, there's no right or wrong way to do it. Any age can do [cosplay, it] really doesn't matter," O'Hara said. "And it's just really showing your love for a character that you see on a screen and bringing it to life." Both of O'Hara's parents support her cosplaying, taking photos for her and even cosplaying with her. "Sadly I've seen my cosplay friends, some of them, their parents aren't that supportive of it, and I'm really thankful that my parents are supportive of it, and my brother too," O'Hara said. "They're very supportive of my cosplay, they think it's cool and hype me up." O'Hara has found that cosplay has improved her personality and even taught her an important lesson. "Don't judge people by the way they look. If you do judge, then you're really missing out on a really good person under the cosplay," O'Hara said. "I learned that the hard way, I judged, and I was mean, I didn't know. Now, I really like meeting and getting to know different types of people. I've noticed they're all people, not creatures or monsters, they are people."

Food Ruling Brings Kosher Slaughterhouse New Business, Old Fears (Photos) An Orthodox rabbi is checking the quality of poultry meat in a Kosher slaughterhouse in Csengele, Hungary on Jan. 15, 2021. (AP Photo/Laszlo Balogh) CSENGELE, Hungary — In a small room lined with religious texts, a Jewish rabbi demonstrates how knives are sharpened and inspected before they are put to use slitting the throats of chickens, geese and other poultry at a kosher slaughterhouse in Hungary. A shochet, someone trained and certified to slaughter animals according to Jewish tradition, whets a knife on increasingly fine stones before drawing the blade across a fingernail to feel for any imperfections in the steel that might inhibit a smooth, clean cut and cause unnecessary pain. "One of the most important things in kosher is that the animal doesn't suffer," said Rabbi Jacob Werchow, who oversees production at Quality Poultry, a 3 1/2-year-old slaughterhouse that supplies nearly 40% of Europe's kosher poultry market and a large portion of the foie gras sold in Israel. The methods employed at the facility in the village of Csengele are based on ancient Judaic principles commanding the humane treatment of living creatures. They also are at the center of a debate about how to balance animal rights and religious rights as parts of Europe limit or effectively ban the ritual slaughter practices of Jews and Muslims. Companies like Quality Poultry have found new export markets since the European Union's highest court last month upheld a law in Belgium's Flanders region that prohibited slaughtering animals without first stunning them into unconsciousness. But the European Court of Justice ruling also has provoked fears of eventual EU-wide prohibitions on ritual slaughter, and aroused memories of periods when Europe's Jews faced cruel persecution. "This decision doesn't only affect the Belgian Jewish community, it affects all of us," said Rabbi Slomo Koves of the Association of Hungarian Jewish Communities, which owns the Csengele slaughterhouse. "If this is the case in Belgium and the court has given it moral approval, that might start a process on a larger scale. If you go down this logic, the next step is you also cannot not sell meat like this in these countries." The EU has required the pre-stunning of animals since 1979, but allows member states to make religion-based exceptions. Most do, but along with Flanders and the Wallonia region of Belgium, Slovenia, Denmark and Sweden, as well as non-EU members Switzerland, Iceland and Norway, have done away with religious exemptions, meaning kosher and halal meat must be imported. Animal rights groups say that slitting the throats of livestock and poultry birds while they are conscious causes suffering that amounts to animal cruelty. Stunning methods vary, but the procedure most often is performed through electric shock or a bolt pistol to the animal's skull. "Reversible stunning is the bare minimum we can do to protect animals," said Reineke Hameleers, CEO of the Brussels-based Eurogroup for Animals. "They should be rendered unconscious before being killed." The situation is not so cut-and-dried for religious observers. Jewish law forbids injury or damage to animal tissues before slaughter, and modern stunning practices can cause death or irreparable injuries that would render meat and poultry non-kosher, according to Koves. Although some Muslim religious authorities consider pre-slaughter stunning permissible, local Muslim groups argued that the stunning requirements in Flanders and Wallonia grew out of efforts by Belgium's Islamophobic far-right to harass their communities. Rabbis Koves and Werchow said they believe the kosher slaughter method, known as shechita, is no less humane than the methods used in conventional meat production. In addition to the intensive process of sharpening and inspecting the knives, the shochet is trained to make the cut in a single smooth motion, severing the animal's nerves and draining the blood from the brain in seconds. "Whatever you think about…whether kosher slaughter is better for the animal than regular slaughter, you are basically putting animal rights ahead of human rights," Koves said. "If people are going to ban our rights to have kosher food, that means that they are limiting our human rights. And this, especially in a place like Europe, brings very bad memories to us." Laws requiring the pre-slaughter stunning of animals appeared in some European countries as early as the late 19th century. Adolf Hitler mandated the practice in 1933 just after becoming chancellor of Germany, one of the first laws imposed by the Nazis. Jewish and Muslim groups challenged the Flanders law in Belgium's Constitutional Court, which referred it to the European Court of Justice for a ruling on its compatibility with EU law. The Court of Justice's advocate general advised the court to strike the Flanders law down, arguing it violated the rights of certain faiths to preserve their essential religious rites. But the court disagreed, finding the law "allow(s) a fair balance to be struck between the importance attached to animal welfare and the freedom of Jewish and Muslim believers to manifest their religion." The animal welfare minister for the Brussels region of Belgium, where stunning is not mandatory, said the ruling would breathe new life into the mandatory stunning debate there. The Brussels chapter of the New Flemish Alliance, a center-right party whose members led the push for the law in Flanders, said it would now submit a proposal for an ordinance to ban slaughter without stunning in the capital region. The Hungarian government helped finance the slaughterhouse in Csengele, and Prime Minister Viktor Orban joined Jewish groups in condemning the court's decision as an assault on religious freedom. In a January letter to the U.S.-based Jewish Agency for Israel, Orban wrote that his government would "spare no effort to raise our voice against (the decision) in every possible international forum." Koves and other chief rabbis in Europe are looking into ways to appeal the EU court's decision

About a month ago, I gave my number to a guy that I wasn't interested in. (I did it because I was caught off guard when he asked me for it.) I figured, I'd exchange a few awkward, polite attempts at conversation and then wait for the opportune time to let him know that I wasn't interested. But, there was no need. This potential "potential" came to a close very fast. Turns out his go to move, on getting to know strangers, is to send "hotline bling" texts in the middle of the night. Perhaps I'm getting old and this is what "the kids are doing these days". But that was completely unexpected. Our conversations up to that point were centered around pizza toppings and Doctor Who. So, I'm not sure where he got the idea that I was open to a one-night stand. But I guess you don't know, if you don't ask? So, like I said in my "Just Say No" post, everyone who expresses an interest in you, does not deserve a chance. If you have reasons to believe that someone isn't a romantic fit, don't be afraid or guilty to go with your gut and decline the offer. It's okay to have standards. And it's okay to have expectations of what you are looking for in a relationship. And for the love of all things holy, don't cast your pearls before swine-Matthew 7:6. Or said another way, don't waste your time on people who don't respect you. And in keeping with the Meghan Trainor theme from the previous post, I leave you with No Excuses. Pizza guy-"Why you acting like you never met a lady?…You must've confused me with someone else. There ain't no excuses, babe. Your mamma raised you better than that." (I'm a little late to linsanity, but in my defense I don't follow sports.) So, I was perusing the black hole of the internet, a.k.a. YouTube, and I stumbled upon an openly Christian NBA player named Jeremy Lin. His story is both unique and inspiring. He's a Chinese American man who's been able to make a name for himself in the highly competitive world of professional sports. Just like another man of Asian (part Asian) descent, Tiger Woods, he's wedged his way into an elite section of society where few have gone before. The uniqueness of his success has challenged the perception that Asian Americans can't play ball/do sports to the same level of other ethnic groups. But regardless of how cool it is that Jeremy Lin challenges stereotypes, what's even cooler is his willingness to use his platform to share his faith. He often credits God as his motivation for excellence, while seeking out opportunities to help various communities. I can't imagine the level of scrutiny, pressure, and temptation that comes with being in the public eye, but Jeremy seems to handle it with grace. So, he seems like a pretty cool dude in my book. 😊 So… The question that may be on your minds is how did I end up in a Jeremy Lin vortex in my "suggested videos" on YouTube? As a minority, I find it interesting to listen to the stories of other ethnic groups and to hear about their experiences in this "melting pot" we call America. Growing up, I thought that people of Asian descent fit seamlessly into society. (After all, they were considered the "model minority" and the stereotypes surrounding them were way more favorable than the stereotypes surrounding my community-the black community.) However, through friends and acquaintances that I've made, I've come to realize that this is not always the case. I've come to realize that some of the same frustrations that I've experienced, other ethnic groups have experienced them too. And specifically, in the world of romance, it appears that Asian men can get the short end of the stick. In fact, some people feel that Asian men are often emasculated in American society, especially when it comes to how they are portrayed in various forms of media. For certain, when it comes to attraction, I understand that interracial dating/marriage is not for everyone. However, I question the idea of dismissing entire groups of people under the guise of preference. Is it possible that we are excluding potential mates due to preconceived notions and stereotypes? Perhaps there are really cool, attractive, god-fearing people all around us, but we are blind to them because they don't come in the packaging that we were expecting/ hoping for? And perhaps when one references "The American Standard of Beauty", it's easy to feel that one is attacking Eurocentric phenotypes. However, is there something to be said for how minorities are portrayed in the media? Is it possible that consistent undesirable portrayals, of certain groups of people, cause us to unconsciously and consciously feel negatively towards those groups? Think about it. It's kind of hard to be attracted to someone that you've been taught to fear, dislike, or think of as "other". So as my post comes to an end, I leave you with a few videos. Kevin Kreider-He is a personal trainer who shares his frustrations about the portrayals of Asian people in media. Jeremy Lin- The first video is about his charity work in Hualien. In this video, he shares about the importance of his faith and how it motivates him. The second video is a satirical "how- to" guide of how to fit in with NBA players. Recently, a man that I didn't know very well asked me for my phone number. Since I was caught off guard, I gave it to him. But in hindsight, I wish I would have told him, "No, I'm not interested." To provide some background, this is a guy who works at a pizza place that I go to from time to time. It turns out that he's 30 and is in a time of transition. Ultimately, I don't think we are in the same stage of life. I'm 40. I have a career. And I know that if I date someone, I'm looking for something serious. ( I may feel 40, but I realize that I don't necessarily look 40. So, sometimes I get approached by younger men.) Sometimes we can feel pressured to give everyone "a chance", but when it comes to dating sometimes you "just know" that you don't really match with the person expressing interest. There may be a large age gap, difference in religious ideas, political views, etc. Why waste each other's time in trying to see if things are going to work out? Sometimes you have a pretty strong idea that they won't. It's okay to say, "No". Regarding the word "no", I have some thoughts. I think women, in particular, feel pressure to be polite and nice. When I was in college, I had various situations where strangers were asking me out and it made me very uncomfortable. I didn't know how to handle the attention and I didn't want to be rude. So, I'd often smile and would give out my number or talk to someone longer than I wanted to. If I could offer advice to my younger-self, I would say something like this: Everyone is made in the image of God. So treat others with the respect and kindness that you would want for yourself. Recognize the humanity in people, but don't feel pressured into allowing someone into your life as a romantic interest/partner if you are not interested. Many people will "meet the requirements" for being an acquaintance or a friend. But few will meet the requirements for romance. Marriage is the ultimate "group project". You don't need to bind yourself to someone that you don't really have that much in common with or someone that you are not physically attracted to. So, it's okay to say, "No, I'm not interested". This is not an evaluation of their character, their value, etc. Dating/marriage is a different type of relationship. It's okay to be selective about who you want to share that experience with. To be honest, I wish that women were given better tools for how to relate to men-especially strangers. To that end, many women/young girls experience attention that can be frightening or uncomfortable. I don't think that men truly understand how uncomfortable it can feel to be approached at night, to be followed around in a store, to be stared at, etc. And those are just mild situations*. By no means, have I mastered the art of saying, "No". But I'm learning how to feel more comfortable in politely turning a man down. How have you mastered the art of saying, "No"? Do you think that everyone deserves a chance? *As a woman, there are times that I feel vulnerable. And the sad reality is that the world isn't always safe. There are people who do harm. For this reason, it can be good to be practical. For example, I have signed up for a self-defense class and am considering activating the alarm in the place where I live. In the spirit of the post, I leave you with this song/lyric video from Meghan Trainor, No. (Sometimes men can be aggressive and refuse to take no for an answer. But if a woman says she is not interested, let it go.) I knew it was coming, but it still was a little jarring. Plus, it doesn't help that I'm surrounded by people who were born the same year I GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL. (I work in higher education.) It's also funny how people say that they feel young at heart, like a 16 year old trapped in an "old" person's body. But I disagree. I feel every inch of my 40 years. Some days, I feel even older. (I've been struggling with some health issues for a while, but I'm hopeful that I'm on the upswing.) Perhaps in the future, I'll write more about my thoughts on hitting middle age. But in the meantime, I'll share this clip from Jamie Foxx about getting older. *I realize that the topic of race is often inflammatory, but I thought that I would share my own experiences of what it means to be a minority in the dating game. I do not speak for the experiences for "all black people". This is just my story and it's kinda long. I am a child of jelly bracelets, Debbie Gibson, and the Cosby Show (before the controversy). In short, I am a child of the 80's. As a child of the 80's, I reaped the benefits of being the first generation of blacks to not experience overt racism. I did not have to sit in the back of a bus, use a separate water fountain, or be relegated to a specific school or neighborhood. I was a generation of hope. I was a generation where race no longer mattered. In my upbringing as a military brat, who lived in places from 9 months to 3 years, I was surrounded by people who did not share my ethnicity. My neighborhoods, schools, and churches tended to be predominantly white. My notions of race, as a kid, were nuanced a best. But around the 3rd grade I started to realize that I was different from my peers. And by the 5th grade, I started to realize that those differences mattered-especially when it came to romance. I realized that whenever I revealed that I had a crush on someone it was automatically assumed that the guy was black (despite the dearth of black guys in my surrounding environment). And on the few occasions that one black guy was in my class, it was automatically assumed that we liked each other whether we had anything in common or not. I didn't understand it then, but I understand it now, that people have a sense of what I call "tribalism". As an adult, I realize that the vast majority of people tend to be raised in homogenized environments along racial/ethnic lines. And for that reason, race often becomes a kind of shorthand to know whether the person next to you is more likely to share a set of common beliefs, ideologies, upbringing/background, etc. And for that reason, people often tend to "stick to their own kind". As someone who grew up outside of my ethnic community and was exposed to more diverse situations, I didn't and I don't really have a tribe. I don't have a "shorthand" to easily identify the people who are most similar to me. I'm going to take a bit of a detour, but it may be helpful to have some frame of reference. So as I said, as I got older, I realized that race was "a thing". But I was truly confronted with how much of "a thing" it was in college. Up until this point, I had never had the opportunity to be around a large number of black people. And up until this point, I would have denied that there was a difference between white culture and black culture. However, it became clear that whatever "black culture" was, I didn't embody it. I would be remiss to say that college was the first time to be told that I "wasn't black", but it was the first time that I felt a palatable divide between races. Meaning, I noticed that people tended to self-segregate in the cafeteria, in social events, and even in religious communities. During my college years, I had the opportunity to have two black roommates. (I also had two white roommates, a Japanese roommate, and a biracial roommate. I had a lot of roommates.) These experiences were eye opening for me. And to be honest, although I got along pretty well with the first girl that I lived with, the second girl made a habit of calling me out for my naivety and ignorance about the black experience. Needless to say, there were many awkward moments around her, her boyfriend, and her friends. Without going into a lot of detail, for the 2nd time in my life, I realized that I was different. I realized that I was "other". I realized that I was experiencing the "so called fate" of biracial people. I didn't seamlessly fit into any racial group. I was too "white" for some black people. And I was too "black" for some white people. And if I'm honest that paradigm still lives with me to this day. So, back to dating… College was also the first time that I started to receive overt male attention. And to be honest, it was a bit of a shock. Men, from all races, began to express interest. But, sadly, most were not Christians. So the dates/exchanges didn't really go anywhere. As far as dating in the Christian community, I didn't and I don't receive a lot of interest from men. Anecdotally, I don't think my experience is that uncommon regardless of race. Plus, it didn't help that I grew up in the era of I Kissed Dating Goodbye. That being said, to be honest, I think that being a minority does complicate the dating experience. Many have observed a lack of "God fearing men" in today's society. This lack can become even more apparent when you account for race. So from a practical standpoint, what is a minority to do? My overall thoughts and advice, have not changed, but I'll add few more thoughts. Consider online dating. Be prepared to be more proactive and upfront. Online dating allows you to specify the traits and attributes of a potential partner. If you prefer to date within your ethnic group, it will allow you to refine for those characteristics and potentially provide a larger number of partners than life may provide. To that end, if you are open to dating interracially, you will know that the person who either responds to or initiates contact is open to interracial dating as well. Be prepared to be more proactive and upfront. The reason that I say this is if dating is a "numbers game", the numbers are against you. We are called minorities for a reason. According to Wikapedia, my ethnic group makes up about 14% of the population. That's not a lot to work with especially if you are looking for shared beliefs, ideologies, upbringing, etc. So it stands to reason that if you prefer to date within your own ethic group, more than likely you will have to be more proactive. I would encourage utilizing social connections (e.g. friends, family, etc.), getting involved with specific groups that cater to minorities (e.g. church, club/organizations), and possibly moving to a location where there are a larger number of people who share your background. If you are open to dating interracially, in addition to expanding your social circles, I would encourage you to be upfront about your intentions. Let me explain. Race makes people uncomfortable. So, it stands to reason that the topic of racial preferences in dating feels like a loaded gun. But that doesn't change the reality that people have racial preferences. So as a minority, although you may be open to the cute guy or girl who is sitting across from you in a Bible Study, he or she may not be thinking the same. In fact, the thought of dating you, may have never seriously crossed that person's mind. So, if you are open to dating interracially, treat potential interests as you would anyone else (e.g. get to know them, hang out with them). However, you may need to have "the talk" sooner rather than later. I would leave race out of the discussion (unless you have bridged that topic before), but I would let them know that you are open to something beyond friendship, i.e. romance. It's better to know 3-4 months in, that someone sees you only as a friend vs. languishing in the "friend zone" for years. In case you're curious, I don't have an issue with interracial dating and have dated interracially. But I understand why some people prefer to date within their own ethnic group. At the age of 40, I no longer believe that "race doesn't matter". In my opinion, the tensions and clashes between various ethnic groups are real. For this reason, the implications of interracial dating and marriage play out differently for the various parties involved. Some have very positive experiences, while others have pronounced difficulties. So, date within your comfort zone. But as a minority you may find it harder to find a partner, especially if shared religious beliefs are important to you. But harder is not impossible. And perhaps by being aware of this challenge, you can make choices that will help set you up for finding a compatible match. Recently, a friend introduced me to a guy via e-mail. (Full-disclosure: I'm not opposed to being set-up. I figure, "you never know".) However, the online introduction didn't go so well. The man is single (obviously), Christian, has a good job, and possibly a really interesting backstory. But to be honest, there was no "spark". It's often said that nice guys finish last or that women want a "bad boy". However, I would argue that a healthy woman isn't looking for a "bad boy", but she is looking for a spark or at least a reason to carry on a conversation with a potential interest. In short, being nice isn't enough. For example, I consider myself to be a hard worker. But if I go on a job interview, it's not enough for me to dress the part and smile. I have to do my research and find a way to demonstrate my ability to do the job well. I kind of have to "sell" myself a little bit. Certainly, no one wants to feel like they are on a job interview when they are on a date or meeting someone for the first time, but if you want to capture someone's interest-especially a stranger, you may need to bring more to the interaction than the equivalent of a great smile and a nice suit. So, if you are a "nice" person trying to capture someone's interest-especially online, here are some tips… Don't send a group photo. 1st impressions matter. Have a game plan. Learn the art of small talk. My first introduction to this guy was with a group photo. In my opinion, if you want someone to know what you look like, sending a group photo of yourself is self-defeating. Perhaps you could write some sort of caption such as I'm the 2nd guy in the red shirt, on the top row, second to the right. But why not "press the easy button" and just send a photo of yourself? Which leads me to the next point, 1st impressions matter. Your first impression doesn't have to be perfect, but it should seem like you put in a little bit of effort into the introduction. From my understanding, this guy saw a video of me playing guitar and decided that he wanted to be introduced. I don't know the complete details of what led to the exchange, but something sparked his interest enough to ask for my contact information. But from the first introductory sentence, it became clear that he didn't seem to have a "game plan". (Back to the job analogy… it's kind of like applying for a job, but when the interviewer calls you, you don't have anything to say.) So, our conversation from the start, felt awkward and strained. Instead of asking me questions or sharing a witty anecdote or interesting fact about himself, the conversation kept veering to some variation of "How's your day going?". To be fair, asking someone about their day is a polite question, but it's a poor question to ask if your intention is to get to know someone, which leads me to the next point. Learn the art of small talk. The simplest way to do this is to Be Interesting and Be Interested. It's been said that if you can get someone to talk about something that they are genuinely interested in, they will have a lot to say. -So- What do you find interesting and what kind of interests does the other person have? If you are lucky, you might find out that you are both interested in the same things. But if your only "go to move" on the conversational dance floor is asking someone "How's your day?" You may never find out if you have anything in common. To be fair, this guy is from another country, so perhaps there was a language/cultural barrier, but a person can never go wrong with simple questions such as… Where are you from? What do you do for a living? What do you like the least/most about your job? Have you read any good books or seen any good movies lately? And if you happen to know about some of their hobbies you can ask things like… I heard you ran a 5k recently. How long have you been running? Do you have any events that you're training for? (Just be clear, I don't run unless I'm being chased.) I saw you play guitar. You play well (compliment). How long have you been playing? Do you write your own music? What inspires you? Like a cliff-hanger at the end of the season finale, you want to find a way to create some type of momentum…suspense…a spark. Attraction at the end of the day is about creating interest or at least a positive experience for the other person. So, creating a scenario where the other person has to try to draw you out of your shell or come up with interesting questions, is not a great way to make a good impression. So, I'm sure that this guy is nice, perhaps exceptionally nice. But it would have been nice if he would have tried a different approach in attempting to bridge the gap with a stranger. So, those are my thoughts. What tips do you have when it comes to meeting someone new? Do you remember the saying-"Step on a crack and you'll break your mother's back"? I do. I remember anxiously hopping and skipping over the thin lines of concrete trying to ensure the safety of my mother's well-being. I'm not sure when I stopped believing that my pedestrian choices had the ability to inflict medical calamity on those that I loved… -But- I still identify with the feeling that I need to execute my life decisions perfectly in order to ensure that my world will not implode. Part of the reason that I have not written more is that I've been struggling with many areas of my life-faith, health, job (finally got a new one), avoiding stalkers, etc. However, as I embark on the start of a new year, I'm learning to "not be so hard on myself". I'm learning that sometimes good enough is truly good enough. -And- Even if I don't execute things perfectly, all I can do is my best. God can/will pick up the slack. So, if you need encouragement or just a reason to dance around in your living room, I leave you with the songs that have been on heavy rotation on my iPhone. They've been a reminder that I don't need to be perfect and that it's okay to have some dark days.

Industrialization of stem-cell based therapies requires innovative solutions to close the space between research and commercialization Industrialization of stem-cell based therapies requires innovative solutions to close the space between research and commercialization. needed. Cryopreserved cells can be thawed into a two-dimensional (2D) tissue culture platform or a three-dimensional (3D) bioreactor to initiate a new expansion phase, or be differentiated to the clinically relevant cell type. The expanded hPSCs express hPSC-specific markers, have a normal karyotype and the ability to differentiate to the cells of the three germ layers. This end-to-end platform allows a large scale growth of high quality hPSCs that can support the required cell demand for numerous clinical indications. was used. To optimize the formation of the fluidized bed, three circulation rates (25, 30, 35 mL/min) were tested in increasing order. Prior to each run, the feed source was sampled in triplicate to determine cell density going into the kSep. For the entirety of the concentration process, 5 mL samples were drawn from the stream exiting the kSep chamber and tested using the NucleoCounter NC-200 (Chemometec, Copenhagen, Denmark) to monitor the number of Epothilone B (EPO906) cells escaping the fluidized bed. After 1 L of cell suspension was processed, Epothilone B (EPO906) the kSep was halted, the chamber was emptied, and the concentrated cells were collected. The kSep was reset, the tubing and chambers were purged, and the process was repeated until all circulation rates had been tested and the feed source was depleted. 4.9. Downstream Processing: hPSC Concentration Post Full Harvest A bag made up of Epothilone B (EPO906) the filtered PSC suspension harvested from your bioreactor was sampled in triplicate, and the viabilities and cell densities were then decided using a NucleoCounter NC-200. The average viable cell density (VCD) was used to calculate the concentrated volume that would be harvested by the kSep (Equation (1), observe Appendix A). The kSep400 (Sartorius) was equipped with its respective single-use packages Rabbit Polyclonal to SPI1 (chamber set and valve set). A 10 L bag of DPBS (?/?) (Lonza) was used to prime the system (no wash actions were performed). The bag (the give food to) was then welded onto the kSep valve set. The process recipe primed the system, then pumped cell suspension into one chamber at a rate of 120 mL/min (3.5 the value determined in the optimization experiment, rounded down). The process was run at 1000 g. These settings were maintained until the entirety of the feed was processed by the kSep. Periodically throughout the process, 5 mL samples were drawn from the stream exiting the kSep chamber and were tested using the NucleoCounter NC-200 to monitor the number of cells escaping the fluidized bed. After the feed bag emptied, the concentrated cells were harvested. The volume of the concentrate was verified, and samples were taken to determine viability and cell density. The remaining concentrate was cryopreserved. 4.10. Cryopreservation Human iPSCs were suspended in cryopreservation answer (CS10, Biolife Solutions Inc., 210102, Bothell, WA, USA) made up of 10 M of Y-27632 (ReproCELL USA, Inc., 04-0012, Beltsville, MD, USA). Cryovials were cryopreserved by the Cryomed? Controlled-rated Freezer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Model 7456, Waltham, MA, USA) and subsequently stored in liquid nitrogen until use. 4.11. Immunofluorescence Staining Cells cultured in 2D were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (Santa Cruz, SC 281692, Dallas, TX, USA) blocked with a blocking solution comprised of 10% donkey serum and 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS ?/?. The cells were incubated with main antibodies followed by secondary antibody incubation and 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining. Immunofluorescence was observed using an Olympus IX73 microscope. The following primary antibodies were used to detect hPSC-associated markers: OCT4/POU5F1 (Abcam, Epothilone B (EPO906) ab19857, Cambridge, UK), NANOG (R&D systems, AF1997, Minneapolis, MN, USA), TRA-1-81 (ReproCELL USA, Inc., 09-001, Beltsville, MD, USA), TRA-1-60 (Millipore, MAB4360, Burlington, MA, USA) and SSEA-4 (Millipore, MAB4304, Burlington, MA, USA). The following primary antibodies were used to detect expression of germ-layer specific markers: SOX17 (R&D systems, AF1924, Minneapolis, MN, USA), FOXA2 (Abcam, "type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":"text":"Ab108422″,"term_id":"30016704″,"term_text":"AB108422″Ab108422, Cambridge, UK), NESTIN (R&D systems, MAB1259, Minneapolis, MN, USA), PAX6 (Biolegend, #901301), -actinin (Sigma, A7811, St. Louis, MO, USA) and SMA (Millipore, CBL171, Burlington, MA, USA). 4.12. Circulation Cytometry Quantitative detection of hPSC-associated markers was performed using circulation cytometry as previously explained [16,38,39]. Briefly, single cells were live-stained for the cell surface markers: TRA-1-81 (BD Biosciences, #560161, San Jose, CA, USA), TRA-1-60 (BD Biosciences, #560884) and SSEA-4 (BD Biosciences, #560126, San Jose, CA, USA). Cells were also fixed, permeabilized and stained for OCT4/POU5F1 (Cell Signaling, #5177S, Danvers, MA, USA). The samples were processed using either FACSCantoTM II (Becton Dickinson) or the FACSCelestaTM (Becton Dickinson, San Jose, CA, USA), and data was acquired using the BD FACSDiva Software followed by analysis.

Tag Archives: Food hardship affected asThis past May BGR approved a six-month renewable grant to the Art Creation Foundation for Children, in Haiti, to bolster its food program, which a budget shortfall had forced to be cut in half. This is a brief report on the project. Kids enjoy a meal together The Art Creation Foundation for Children is an arts-based non-profit organization created for the personal growth, empowerment, and education of children in need in Jacmel, Haiti. The Foundation provides art instruction, tutoring, medical care, daily food and water, and educational expenses for students in the program. Its mission is to build a passionate community of future leaders, visionaries, and dynamic thinkers who are empowered to better their lives and their world through the arts and education. "Rather than hand out a temporary fix," they say, "we focus on empowering our students with the tools to create their own reality and decide the course of their lives." Continue reading → This past Sunday I attended an interfaith Thanksgiving service at the St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Peekskill, New York. I spoke extemporaneously. This is a polished version of my talk. Thanksgiving is a time when we all gather to give thanks for the blessings we have received over the past year. Here, in the US, we have much to be thankful for, but as I reflect on the blessings that I have experienced, I also realize that almost every one of them represents a privilege that I enjoy but which too few people in the world share. First, I realize that I live in a country that has not been subjected to devastating military assaults, and thus I enjoy relative security in my physical person. When I recognize this, I think of the millions upon millions of people around the world, especially in the Middle East, who do not have this sense of security. I think of the civilian populations in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan who have seen their own countries shattered by war, their homes demolished, their livelihoods destroyed; whose loved ones have been killed right before their eyes; who have had to flee their native lands for distant shores, often at great peril, or who stay behind, where they live in the shadow of fear and danger. I realize that I should not take my own security for granted, knowing that it is part of a global system that entails devastation and despair for many millions. Continue reading → Our partner on this project is Oxfam America, a relief and development organization that works to right the wrongs of poverty, hunger, and injustice. This is a one-year addition to a previous two-year pilot project in the System of Crop Intensification (SCI), which aims at increasing food production in ecologically sustainable ways. The effort, focused on Ethiopia's Central Rift Valley, seeks to promote environmental friendly, economically feasible, and climate-smart agronomic practices among small-scale farmers by increasing the uptake of the SCI methodology. Our partners will identify 250 target farmers willing to adopt SCI (40% female); train 20 experts; train farmers in SCI; provide trial inputs (seeds, fertilizer); organize farmer-to-farmer learning and showcasing events; provide technical support to farmers; and document practices and lessons learned. Oxfam will be working with a local partner in Ethiopia, Sustainable Environment and Development Action (SEDA). A one-year addition to a previous two-year project. Continue reading →

January 14, 2011 Where in the world is The Lamont Hotel? Hint: Vancouver, BC The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver? Photo by Sue Frause. I did a double take when I spied this sign on The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver.The Lamont Hotel? My first thought was that maybe a TV or movie was filming there, renamed The Lamont Hotel. When I Googled it, turns out that there was a situation comedy on TV for six months in 2003-2004 called Whoopi. Not surprisingly, it starred Whoopi Goldberg, the owner of a small hotel called The Lamont in New York City. I should have inquired about the mysterious sign at the front desk of The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. If anybody has an explanation, do tell!

Fewer Peaches, More Pecans One of Middle Georgia's largest peach growers is adding more pecan trees. Pecan prices and continuing labor issues are behind the shift. At one time Lane Southern Orchard's 4,500 acres were about 80-percent peaches and 20-percent pecans. But now they're about even. Last Fall pecan prices soared to $12 a pound as overseas markets continue to grow. Farmer Duke Lane says they're adding pecan trees to their aging Fort Valley peach orchards. After six years they start producing nuts. Labor is also easier. To farm 2,000 acres of peaches you need around 250 workers, for pecans, about 40. "The pecan deal is so mechanized that it basically involves operators of your shakers and your sweepers and your blowers and all." Pecan trees also live around 100 years whereas peach trees only last 15.

Teen Clean! This title was plucked from a teen non-fiction section. It is a teen book about cleaning your room. Really? No, there is nothing wrong with the information. I just can't see teens falling over themselves to check this book out. As the mother of teenagers, I am here to tell you a book won't make them clean things. Death threats might work though. Decorating your room or a DIY type of book with a more current-looking cover would be a much better way to go. I have shown this book to some of our regular teen patrons. The eye rolling that followed just confirmed my suspicions. Yep, fiction. I think a picture with a mom holding the teen's car keys and their cell phone in one hand and pointing at their room with the other would speak "volumes"!!!!!!! I mean, a feather duster?? Seriously?? Okay, maybe this explains why I'm a neat-nick, but I remember having a such a book! I even remember part of it recommending that you clean from top to bottom clockwise around your room so you'll encounter EVERYTHING. While doing so, you were also supposed to just move things to other parts of the room but not put them away unless it was a section you had already cleaned completely. (This was illustrated with a lovely diagram too!) Long story short, yes, someone did read these things as a child. Sad to say it's me. 🙂

A Secret Weapon For take my class for me Menu A Secret Weapon For take my class for me Does retaking an exam improve my GCE/International A-degree quality? No. This can be a new exam marked separately. Taking a refresher course with ITS can be a great way to transform your prospects at obtaining a better quality. In between sobs I instructed him about the phone, "Be sure to don't be mad, and don't stress, I've to obtain surgery to acquire it taken off or it could kill me at any time." Bari taught us procedures for getting variety to ourselves and one another all-around a topic that delivers up so much tension and worry. Throughout the course, we paid out off all personal debt totally and therefore are both of those centered on constructing our cost savings. There are one or two matters to take a look at now. Have you been utilizing a gas bottle heater whatsoever ? – If that is so, eradicate it now, these produce wide quantities of h2o vapour. A-stage college students generally have cost-free preference around the topics they wish to study, although it can also be imperative that you Keep in mind any pre-requisite topics essential to your focus on College course. I discovered months afterwards, and couldn't deliver myself to convey nearly anything due to the fact by this time, my self-value was inside the rest room. The excellent news is the fact that we can easily lessen the problem and in lots of scenarios treatment it with no click now costly intervention. Which IGCSE subjects am i able to take online? Numerous types of subjects are offered. Be sure to Examine our online GCSE webpage. Many thanks a lot of for one more terrific calendar year of Artwork of Money! I've go now downloaded the many visitor teacher interviews and After i'm working with my palms, like cleaning or washing dishes, I pay attention or re-listen to an interview. I infinitely belief the treatment with which you curate the academics you invite and the other applications you propose. I've been in communities exactly where This can be completed with considerably less care, or that don't align with my values so I know try these out the primary difference. Am i able to complete my IGCSE's by means of distance Understanding? Yes, utilizing the ITS product of blended useful resource entry and online Trainer time. It's not a conventional distance Understanding model, but by combining the two components you have a more effective consequence (read a Financial Periods report on this issue). Even though A-concentrations are practical for a variety great site of other factors for example highschool completion, work or career improvement, there won't be any specifications in terms of quantity of topics for these takes advantage of. What does 'cashing in' signify? Cashing-in is definitely the system for generating a certificate. If you have to entire useful content three models in order to full the AS qualification, and also you do all three you won't mechanically receive a certification. Earning a fireplace was a ability, but superior still was maintaining 1 just over the embers, so it could be re-started out quickly when required (this is essential as we'll see later).

WinDVD Creator - error message I'm hoping to gain some urgent help from one of the many experts who frequent this site!!! I have used WinDVD Cretaor for the first time, and found it to be an excellent program for novices like myself, unfortu7natly though, whentaking the final steps (after the movie itself has been created, but prior to burning), I get an unusual error message that gives nothing more than tell me there was a problem!!!, the error is as follow: [bold] cannot complete burn process due to some error [bold] I know, a very vague message but I am hoping someone may know what this means. well I have had an error message come up on mine for the last three weeks and havnt gotten a lick of support from intervideo. IM so mad now IM gonna see if there is another program that does the same thing and cancel intervideo. They suck. ANyways my erro message is "cant initalize aspi manager". Also when I go to burn Im not able to select dvd type or speed and if I skip it and go to start burn it shuts the whole thing down because internet explorer has detected an error. Piece of junk am completely in agreement with you guys, I've had a work pending in my intervideo DVD creator for 2 weeks just a step to burning my 18-hour work and just like you guys encounter a similar error message. I have brought up the issue with Intervideo's customer support and those guys didn't lift a finger to help me. "They do not extend assistance to OEM software holders," despite the praises these guys got from HP after the latter partnered with them for the sale of Pavilion units. While the software had potential, what's the use of the easy editing feature if in never gets to the critical production part? sandorlau in a different thread suggested the Adobe Encore DVD authoring software. Seems worth checking out judgng by the praises he gave the software. Good luck guys not sure about that adobe editor. Is it the same as the intervideo dvd creator. All I need is something to burn my movie clips I have saved. I also already paid for that dvd creator, I wouldnt be happy if I had to purchase something else. I hear your pain....I had a project that was in the making for months....at the time to burn it, it just puked out....for probably 3 weeks I spent most a whole lot of time (ask my wife) to try to figure it out. I would have gone to something else but, would have pretty much had to start over. I was running Windvd Creator Plus. It would basicly puke out during the format stage, BUT, I did also come up with YOUR famous window about must close due to Some error. WHAT ERROR, please tell me. It never did, so I had to do all the experimenting myself. Some things I did that you might try. Are you running Winxp? That is essential. Make sure your RAM is at least 256 or above. Rolled back WMP from 10 to whatever. For some reason, I felt like there might have been a conflict there. Run Check Disc, and Defragg your drive. I downloaded the current Gold trial version from Intervideo website. Thats about it. Hope this may help. Thanks Vlasor, am running win xp, and shld have sufficient RAM (512 DDR). have scanned and defragged as you suggested. I uninstalled and re-installed the Win DVD Creator. It did one (what I would describe) scratchy burn before the error started appearing again, but the audio was skipping like a damaged CD, the transition was rough and abrupt to say the least. The last thing to try which I was willing to but unable was to rollback the WMP, am presently running version 9 (doesn't appear in add/remove programs or window components (even if I click 'show updates'). Thanks for sharing, hopefully the people at Intervideo can spread some Christmas cheer around to all of us who remain uncontent with the product. Cheers! Man.....that is a bum deal. Say, for what it is worth I checked my version I downloaded from intervideo. Windvd Creator Gold 2 2.0B014.377C00 Not sure if them were O's or 0's. Would have to recheck....assumming they were zero's. At any rate, it could be possible this is an upgrade that could have fixed some things. Who knows. Bad news is: It is about a 37-38 meg download. Unfortunately, I have dialup . At least I got it to burn. And it turned out real sweet. Oh, and by the way, you are correct, you cannot uninstall WMP, it is part of WinXP, but I had upgraded and was able to roll back. Again, I don't know for sure if there was something conflicting, I had just read that there might have been some incompatabilities, and I was desperate.... Help! I am having the same problems with Intervideo WinDVD creator. It was included with my new computer. I did manage to get one created movie burned to DVD after about 5 tries. The second one I was going to do for a friend, used the same pictures, but changed the text. I can't get past the make movie, as it keeps quitting on me at different places in the movie. Same error that Intervideo has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry...blah..blah....blah. Has anyone come up with a solution yet? I've closed all running programs in the background, deleted the background music and readded it, deleted all the transitions and readded. Still nothing. Any solutions would be most appreciated. Thanks a bunch I have been going through all the same problems you guys mentioned, too. A copy of WinDVD Creator Plus came with an LG burner I purchased. I've tried to get help through their so called 'support' on the Intervideo site, but received none at all because of it's so called 'OEM Bundle' status. A simple patch or update would probably solve these problems, but they don't seem to create them for any of their products. What a load of S#IT!!!!! I would love to find a decent solution. As for Intervideo, they can go to hell! I wouldn't buy anything produced by them again thanks to this! Here's some advice for anyone interested; Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 is a piece of CRAP too!! Too many negatives to list here. Just another set of $100.00 coasters I've recently purchased. Can any one recommend a decent burning package??? Have to disagree with postma071 I have never used WinDvd Creator but I have got"Roxios Easy Media Creator 7".Its definitely the best software I have used.As a back up I use 1Click Dvd Copy a Canadian package which is highly ranked. I am a realy rookie, but I think I finally, yes that's finally figured out a way to get around the error message. Yes the program Intervideo WinDVD is good for s_ _ t for creating movies. (I couldn't even get it to play all the way through, after I had all my music and pics in.) After months of frustration and e-mails to HP, here is what I did. I recreated the movie in Windows Movie Maker (this program also came with the pkg on my computer.) It took a little getting used to, but in the end I like the program much better. The BIG downfall is that is doesn't allow you to save it to DVD. So, save your Windows Movie Maker newly created movie to your computer as a video file. Then go back into WinDVD and choose "Create CD/DVD from an existing video file. WOW. went off without a hitch. If you have Windows movie maker on your computer, please give it a try. It's very user friendly after you get used to navigating around. I now have a wonderful DVD for my inlaws anniversary. Hope this helps.

So you want Republicans to win because competetion was wiped out? Ah well. I must say I'm not completely sure who John Edwards is (I'm Norwegian, so I'm excused) but I think he should do whatever he wants to, as long as his wife' supportive and he's not like leaving her behind. No one besides him and his wife are in a position to make this decision so. I wonder what I would have done, though.. Kinda hard to imagine, since I would pretty much avoid being president of the United States at all costs.

Why 2019's Most Talked-About Anti-Weed Book Is No Longer Talked About Have you heard about the shocking new book about the dangers of marijuana? It's called Tell Your Children, and it's written by former New York Times journalist Alex Berenson. It's been highlighted on Fox News and in the pages of the Wall Street Journal. Have you heard of it? No? That's probably a good thing. And fortunately, not surprising. Last year, Simon and Schuster published Berenson's novel – its full title is Tell Your Children: The Truth about Marijuana, Mental Illness and Violence – and it immediately brought into sharp focus the degree to which cannabis has permeated American culture. Whereas before we had Cheech and Chong movies and the occasional joke about whether or not the president inhaled, now we have full-blown legal marijuana in some of our most populous states. In the greatest American cities, people now openly smoke weed on the street. Of course, those of us with good sense understand this is a big move forward. Progressive decriminalization and legalization of cannabis means more people have access to one of the best painkillers available; a great anti-anxiety tool; and a harmless plant that makes relaxation more relaxing. It also means fewer lives ruined by draconian drug policies. Berenson's book, however, takes the opposite view. The Book. Published in 2019, Tell Your Children takes its name from the classic (and very silly) anti-pot film Reefer Madness. And, like… not ironically. Reefer Madness has long been viewed, even by pot agnostics and opponents of legalization, as a particularly corny example of how cultural panics can get out of hand; it's generally placed in the same bin of historic embarrassments as Orson Welles' War Of The Worlds broadcast and the "satanic panic" surrounding Dungeons & Dragons in the 1980s. Indeed, the film was originally financed by a conservative church group and later shown as an exploitation shocker. Berenson largely seems to take the claims in Reefer seriously, though, arguing that full legalization of marijuana will lead to more violent crimes, claiming (wrongly, but more on this later) that weed use increases instances of schizophrenia and other forms of psychosis, and schizophrenic and psychotic people commit more violent crimes. The Problems With The Book. Put simply, the claims Berenson makes in the books are plan wrong. Cannabis use does not cause psychosis or schizophrenia. Sure, a user might feel a bit paranoid if they're not used to a particularly strong batch, but there's a big difference between a few anxious hours and a DSM-diagnosable mental illness. But the claim by itself isn't the worst of it. It's full of claims that have been long since disproved. The link between cannabis use and violent crimes has been disproved over and over again. The weed/violence association has a long, racist history, used as far back as the settling of the new world as a way to make Black, Hispanic and indigenous people who used weed seem more dangerous than they are (while conveniently ignoring the substantial numbers of white people who use weed). The associations Berenson makes about psychosis, schizophrenia and violent crime are irresponsible. In addition to being flat-out wrong, the overall claim in the book that there's a direct line from pot use to violent crime, is also unfair to people with mental illnesses, who are often just as likely to be the victims of violent crimes as the perpetrators. Additionally, any link that does exist between cannabis and psychosis is one that demands sympathy for people afflicted by psychosis. Dr. Carl Hart, a a drug and addiction researcher at Columbia University, concluded in 2016 that "evidence leads us to conclude that both early use and heavy use of cannabis are more likely in individuals with a vulnerability to psychosis." In other words, people who have psychotic conditions likely self-medicate with cannabis to alleviate their symptoms, rather than being driven to psychosis through marijuana use. The argument that weed causes violence "is a bullshit claim," Hart told the Guardian. "There's not evidence for it. Correlation doesn't equal causation. In Berenson's defense, this sort of thing happens a lot. Ever see one of those widely-shared clickbait stories with a headline like "Cheese Helps You Live Longer" or "Red Wine Is Healthy, Scientists Say?" Most of these are stories about scientists who discover correlations between lifestyle factors and health – but the headlines don't tell you that the researchers didn't discover a cause. Red wine might lead to a longer life, or it might not – or it might just be that people who can afford to drink wine regularly also have access to the kind of better health care that leads to a longer, healthier life. The guy who wrote this is… not an expert. Sure, he's got the New York Times on his resume, but it's not as though he was working the pot-legalization beat; indeed, Berenson's body of work seems to be considerably broader than that. What's more telling is that while this isn't Berenson's first book, it is his first nonfiction book – the bulk of his work consists of Ludlowesque political-thriller potboilers with titles like The Faithful Spy and The Ghost War. So it's not as though he's a longtime scholar of science and public policy. Even the scientists quoted in the book don't agree with it. Perhaps the most damning condemnation of Tell Your Children is the fact that several of the experts quoted in its pages have publicly stated they were misrepresented. Many of them even signed an open letter debunking the book's claims, pointing out that Berenson cherry-picked data, attributing cause to correlation, and exhibiting selection bias. "When research is misrepresented to uphold and perpetuate the worst myths about people of color and people with mental illness," the letter states, "we are required to speak up." Cannabis is here to stay, whether guys like Berenson like it or not. Look – weed has been used around the world throughout most of human history, and for a good deal of that time it's been either openly legal or completely unregulated. At the end of the day, Tell Your Children didn't make much of an impact. Buzz around the book died down a few months after its release, largely spurred by the resounding chorus of refutations. So why write an article about it at all? Why bring attention to it? Good question. If the whole upshot of Berenson's book is that people have mostly forgotten about it, why spotlight it at all, even if to point out its inaccuracies and irresponsible reporting? The answer is that we still live in a culture where a book like Tell Your Children can get published, because there's still a statistically significant number of people who would buy it, read it and believe it. And as long as the anti-cannabis forces are still aligned, people who understand the profound value of cannabinoids like THC and CBD have to be armed with empirical data and factual refutations.

Reply to "1972 DeTomaso" tavi (Guest) 5/21/0511:50 AM Hi again: Thanks Whiplash - I always thought Doug liked the car at least as much as me. It has been his "baby" all these years! He never (in 25 years of marriage) has let me drive it! I'll try to get some additional pictures (the one I sent was taken over 20 years ago). Unfortunately it's raining and snowing. It is supposed to clear tomorrow. Lets hope so. The VIN number is correct -- that's what is printed on the little plate under the vindshield. The 0 before the 1 and 2 could be an Os (can't say for sure). The rest of the letters and numbers are correct. The picture is actually taken just south of Montana next to Jackson lake with the Teton's in the background in Wyoming (on our honeymoon). Thanks for the advice about letting people test drive it - makes a lot of sense

Electronic Arts is losing out on rights to feature the NCAA's brand and logos in its videogames. Chalk it up to the antitrust lawsuit filed against the collegiate body by former athletes, write Rachel Bachman and Mike Sielski. The athletes, including former UCLA college basketball star Ed O'Bannon, say they were cut out of billions in revenue from TV and videogames rights. Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's PS4 now must play against much cheaper competition: The Ouya videogame console had its debut in June—and Amazon is already sold out. The Wall Street Journal's Adam Najberg tells us how it matches up. Read More » Closely held videogame maker Kabam says it is now worth $700 million, based on a recent private transaction that allowed employees to sell $38.5 million of common stock. None of the money will go to the San Francisco-based company itself, which says it has $50 million in the bank. Kabam expects to notch revenues of more than $300 million this year, up from more than $180 million in 2012. Read More » People have been digging into the code of videogames to change their characters and storylines for years. Even Ms. Pac-Man began as a hack, as we reported in today's Wall Street Journal. Many of the hackers say they're doing this as a form of protest, addressing digital sexism by allowing long-time damsels in distress to become heroines. But is it legal? There haven't been any high-profile lawsuits regarding this type of hacking, and a spokeswoman for Nintendo (which is known for vigorously defending its copyright) didn't respond to a query about whether it plans to pursue gender-switching gamers. Gamers are flocking to sites like YouTube to learn the latest about their favorite titles. The videogame industry has been increasingly embracing social media, and gamers are responding. Videogames are fast becoming one of YouTube's most important segments, a new study from Google finds, with two trailers for Activision's latest "Call of Duty" game leading the all-time trailer leaderboard, above "The Dark Knight Rises" and 007's return in "Skyfall." "Fifty dollars is a lot to spend on a game, so first impressions really matter," says Erica Larson, head of videogame ad sales at Google. Read More » But can Google succeed

ART Zdirect - Passive Direct Box ART Zdirect - Passive Direct Box B&H # ARZD MFR # ZDIRECTdirect from ART is a high quality passive interface that allows for connecting instrument, line, or speaker level signals to a mixer or other balanced input through a high performance audio isolation transformer. The high impedance single-ended 1/4" input is converted by the transformer into an isolated balanced low impedance signal source. The unit has an extremely flat and wide frequency response and can handle high signal levels while still maintaining an isolated balanced low impedance output. This gives the Zdirect a very clean and neutral sound with a wide variety of signal sources and over long signal runs in high noise environments. The input attenuator switches allow for a wide range of input signal levels The Input Link jack allows for tapping off of the signal chain for additional routing A ground lift switch allows for totally separating the input and output signal grounds when appropriate, to isolate two systems thereby reducing hum and ground-loop noise Switchable low pass filter cuts out all very high frequency interference. This Bessel filter on the input is placed out of the audio range and is primarily intended to reduce radio frequency interference before it gets into the main system The filter is also very effective in reducing any digital computer noise artifacts when using the Xdirect as an interface between a computer based audio workstation and speaker monitors A phase invert switch allows the user to switch signal polarity right at the source The compact black anodized all aluminum case and its flexible power design allow the DI to provide years of trouble free service in live sound, fixed install, DJ and virtually any PA application

Twice now I've gone into a room with the Archer, fired at a monster, and then backed out the door again, only to find myself out of combat, and the doorway visibly open but impassable for the rest of the game. In one case that made the mission impossible to finish; in the other I was able to shoot through the open door to kill the monster I needed, but was still unable to pass through the doorway now seen this happen with the Summoner as well, so it's not tied to the Archer. ERISSERISS AftershockRelief this bug is still here. It even made my archer (best toon) to be imprisoned, as it blocked the exit of the dungeon. Bad almost braking game bug. Post edited September 05, 2018 by ERISS MindsEyeSplinterMindsEyeSplinter New User had something similar happen - I had to rescue two of my team mates, cleared the dungeon but the door leading out wouldn't open. Had to exit from the menu and lose all progess. Hopefully this gets fixed with the next update. Also worth mentioning: a couple of times walls were passed through, and two monters occupied the same tile.

Parke and Ronen Resort 2014 Presentation took place at the popular Chelsea nightspot Number 8 in New York City on Monday night (June 10, 2013). Held by New York designers Parke Lutter and Ronen Jehezkel and sponsored by Bulldog Gin, this year's fashion show included a host of sexy male models, including André Ziehe, the face of 2xist underwear. Veteran mannequin Tyson Beckford also made an appearance to present designer Ronen Jehezkel a giant birthday cake. Inspired by seaside destinations for winter getaways, the new collection presented a wide array of new styles that are perfect for a hunky man to pack for his tropical vacation. It included a ton of hot swimwear, short shorts, fitted shirts and open-weave cardigans. The line also featured fine gauge patterns, color blocking and an emphasis on different shades of primary colors. The male models gathered at No. 8 in New York City to present the 2014 Parke & Ronen resort collection on Monday evening (June 10, 2013). The Ibiza Cross swimtrunk in Royal/White was one of pieces in the Parke & Ronen's latest collection at the event, which introduced the label's new Resort looks for 2014 in three acts. Supermodel Kate Moss was enlisted by Versace for its Spring/Summer 2013 gladiator-themed advertising campaign which was unveiled on Friday (December 21, 2012). The 38-year-old mom was joined by campaign darlings Joan Smalls and Daria Werbowy in the rather steamy Versace campaign shot in London. Captured by photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, the trio of leading beauties looked absolutely gorgeous in the spring 2013 ad campaign. Kate Moss was dressed in a bright orange slash dress and a black lace mini dress that she teamed with bondage-inspired leather boots. The ever-stunning model was surrounded by three scantily-clad and delightfully muscular male models in bikini bottoms including Edward Wilding, Kacey Carring and Veit Couturier. Meanwhile, her co-star in the campaign Daria Werbowy was covered only by a bold statement necklace and Joan Smalls wore a pair of lingerie-lace inspired pants, gladiator sandals and tights. The new ads seemed to be better than the brand's spring 2012 images, which featured Gisele Bündchen and a Instagram-esque color overlay. "To have three glamorous and iconic women like Kate, Daria and Joan in one campaign is not an easy feat," Donatella Versace said in a release. "Mert and Marcus really outdid themselves. Each image is composed like a work of art." With styling by Melanie Ward and David Bradshaw, Joan Smalls poses with a male model who is oiled up and dressed down in his embellished brief, gladiator sandal and oversized gold chain. Apart from fronting Versace's spring 2013 campaign, Kate Moss starred in Stuart Weitzman spring/summer 2013 ad campaign. The working mom was chosen to replace Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova as the new face of the brand. Shot by fashion photographer Mario Testino, Kate Moss looked stunning in a series of simple black and white images.

I'm looking to purchase the 560Ti, but am having trouble deciding which one exactly. Basically, I want a cool/quiet card with good OC potential. Possibly looking to SLI in the near future. I'm looking at the EVGA 560Ti FPB version. How does this compare to the pre-factory clocked versions? Is there a 560Ti at a better value?

to reallyAh, fate is a cruel bitch—lost power Tuesday at my home due to Isaac mixing things up in the Gulf (yet the FOX affiliate I work for never lost power, but I was off work), so I'm REALLY late watching this week's show. Gotta love those rabid YouTube fans. Tonight the dancers all get to do solos in addition to their all-star partnerships. Guest judge: Self-proclaimed fanboy Jesse Tyler Ferguson of Putnam County and Modern Family fame makes a return visit. Shenanigans will most certainly ensue. (Note: As I'm having to watch the show piecemeal and not in the exact order everything aired, the commentary on the solo profile packages will be in parentheses under the dance review.) Top 8 contemporary There must be something these choreographers find fascinating with the whole Eastern/Asian motif in contemporary….Sonya's number from Season 8, Wade's Top 10 piece from Season 6—and all with a funky twist. New to me choreographer Peter Chu adds his take with a Kill Bill/Big Trouble In Little China motif. Another clear winner of the Tour Lineup sweepstakes. Witney Witney gets ratched (ratchet?) with Twitch in new to SYTYCD-US choreographer Luther Brown's hip-hop piece. Don't worry, Witney—I STILL don't know what "ratched/ratchet" is either, and I supposedly have my urban card. But you hung in well, sweetie. Almost reminded me of Natalie Fotopoulos's swag in the "Promiscuous" hip-hop of Season 2. Witney's cha-cha/samba inspired solo to Rihanna's "Where Have You Been" had me a little worried—a lot less than her usual substance but the sexpot was turned all the way up, so there was definitely a draw there. *Side note: upon tracking down the "definition" of ratchet as per the Hip Hop Archive and finding its origins in Lil Boosie, I am still not much clearer on the subject, as I have also never figured out what a Lil Boosie is. Y'all can keep that card.* (LMAO! Witney's dad is such a….dad. She is amazingly evocative for an 18 year old, so I get it. Plus, little girls never really grow up in their fathers' eyes, so I think it'd probably be hard on him anyway. That bundle of energy thing explains a LOT.) Cole Cole gets another contemporary (this time from a more girlie-looking Sonya Tayeh) where he can channel his emotions from the depths of his soul to be…soulless. Shades of Gravity AND Alex Wong come out in his stature and, well, Allison Holker makes anybody look phenomenal. Her job tonight was quite easy, though. The boy is good…and matches her move for move, step for step. That assisted lift/jump that hovered in mid-air for a few seconds—wow. Cole's martial arts themed solo was our first reminder in a long time that he has consistently been dancing out of his style. (Shy, socially awkward, outcast, baby of the family–if I didn't know exactly how much older than you I am, I'd swear we were separated at birth. His mom reminds me strongly of Rita Moreno.) Eliana My darling Eliana pulls two of my favorite cuties—Jonathan Roberts and Season 6's Ryan Di Lello—for a quickstep. I don't know why the bored/agitated housewife theme keeps popping up on this show, but it is a very interesting shade to paint onto a ballroom number. Thank goodness for those ballerina lines, because I'm not sure anyone else could have pulled that off like that, especially in such a leg-revealing costume. And yay to the vampy alpha female she brought out tonight—THIS is some of what I was looking for in Mercy. Eliana's solo evokes a Black Swan air—and, as usual, is flawless. (ANYBODY who can pull off a front walkover in both heels and pointe shoes is the BOMB dot com in my book.) (Love the "close with Mom" stories. "I moved to New York to study with the Joffrey Ballet….I think it worked out, because I'm here now." Biggest DUH statement of the millennium, my love.) Lindsay In an unprecedented move, Cole gets to reunite with Lindsay and do another Sonya Tayeh routine…oh wait, that really IS Alex Wong this time. Lindsay and Alex put their tensions on display for this jazz piece, and it's really technically good. You can see the pre-ballroom dance training coming out of Lindsay. She's still very exact for me, though—some things that should just flow you can see her counting on, and while that does satisfy the needs of the choreographer and the work, sometimes a little too much precision makes it more of a dance routine than a performance experience. There's no doubt that she's a talented dancer; I would just like to see a little less polish on her performances that require an emotional commitment. (And I see that Nigel, Mary AND Jesse agree with me.) The ballroom solo was just as technically perfect. (A studio kid…figures. Keep working with the Ballases, particularly on your performance level. Mark's gotten a DWTS trophy or two out of it. Brilliant technique, but I think you need life to get a little messy to color your life experience enough to muddy the emotional waters and give your dancing that extra depth the judges keep asking for.) Will Our loveable goofball has to get serious tonight, literally dancing away his pain (in the guise of Lauren Gottlieb) in this Christopher Scott hip-hop number. And he does so—quite well, actually. He stays in sync and well connected with Lauren in a very separatist routine, and manages to pull a little swag out of his back pocket. Will's solo? Technically OK (I need those long limbs to stretch more, if that's possible) but emotionally brilliant. Reminds me of a taller Teddy Tedholm. (*sniff* "I think dance saved my life." The little oddball outcast in me just gave you a standing ovation for that. Keep dancing–you radiate joy when you do.) Cyrus Gimme gimme Moore—and we got it, in both Mandy and Melanie. Basically "two cool kids strutting around town," we get treated to a Fossesque, "Sweet Charity" revamp of Rich Man's Frug. Once again, Cyrus rises to the challenge. It's very good for him that the choreography has elements of Broadway and hip-hop in it because, as previously demonstrated, Cyrus can pull them off with ease. Matching Melanie's energy and presence was just as easy. I will repeatedly acknowledge my bias toward Cyrus, but even if I weren't a fan I'd have to be simply for the degree to which he dedicates himself to matching all of these incompatible styles and selling them as if he's being doing them all of his life. I am really most interested in seeing where his career goes post-show and tour. Getting such a wealth of dance history and education in doing SYTYCD can only serve to make his hip-hop and animation PHENOMENAL. Which is also the word I'm using for that solo. (You REALLY look like your dad. I see shades of both parents in you, but you look a lot like your dad. And how great is it to have such a supportive mom? She can be proud of the young man she raised.) Chehon The tango "look" in the rehearsal clip just cracked me up. However, if there's anyone who could carry the swagger of a Miriam and Leonardo tango and go toe to toe with Anya Garis, it's our Chehon. It definitely didn't hurt to put a few balletlike jumps and stances in there because it helped to give him that sense of imposing height and stature required of the male tango partner. The paso doble segments added to the drama of the connection, though some of tango form looked off (are the feet supposed to be pointed in the ganchos?). But it was an excellent turn….and the ONLY time you'll hear me say I liked Anya as a blonde for once. No words to be said on the solo…it was the usual mind-blowing fabulosity. (I'm not really sure how I got the air of "adopted kid" from Chehon without knowing anything in-depth about his background, but seeing it confirmed was not a big surprise to me. It's my experience that adoption tends to bring some of the greatest people into your life–I figure I can call myself an expert since I married one. 😉 Parents who can send their kids away to study, train and follow their passions have to be some of the bravest people on the planet, and I take this opportunity now to thank Beat Wespi and Edith Tchopp for taking that chance and sharing their precious gift with the rest of us.) Tiffany Tiffany gets to be thrown around the stage by Ade Obayami to Mandy Moore's choreography and Celine Dion's epic vocals. Seems like I've seen this before….Caitlyn and Mitchell, much? (Though the sight of her carrying Ade in the rehearsal package was too funny for words—how do you watch her seriously after that?) But it was just as good as the previous Mandy/Celine collab—Tiffany has got to be a good dancer to be able to be seemingly tossed by Ade from one lift to the next like she was a featherweight streamer and not a 100+ pound girl. She has managed to make beautiful pictures with every frame she's danced this season, and though I've pretty much come down on her (along with Janaya and Audrey) for being "invisible," her work clearly speaks for itself. You can see it in her solo, as well—floating with an assist from an able-bodied male is one thing, but being able to recreate that same sense of fluidity BY YOUR DAMN SELF?!? I tip my hat to you, young lady….and that standing ovation is well deserved. (Awww! Too stinkin' cute! Her technique was excellent even at a young age–I've taught advanced students that never had that good a point in the toe and stretch in the leg. You were clearly born to do this.) Bottom 4: Witney (saved) Lindsay Cole (saved) Will As a turn of the last judges' save of the season, Lindsay and Will bow out of the competition, which is not wholly unexpected. If looked at overall—from auditions to Vegas to the competition stage—Witney and Cole had way more grab-you-by-the-throat standout moments. The caliber of dancing and performance is really tightly knit, so I imagine this was an extremely difficult decision for the judges to make. At this stage, the blow is not as keenly felt since all of the night's performers have already been locked into the tour; still, I'm sure there's some smarting about not being in contention for the top title. But even without the tour berths, there are no losers here. Each dancer has brought their own special shine to this season, and we viewers wouldn't have it any other and horrible

Ignore Me The act of ignoring someone is: refusing to take notice of or acknowledge them When you're ignored, you learn to live in a world of silence. You learn to not speak, to silence you opinion, and muffle your thoughts. And when your thoughts are caged what are you? You're a phantom smear of grey against the colorful canvas of the world. You're that lightning bug that shines so damn bright until you are smothered in a jar because they forgot to give you air. You're fading into a desolate void that's sucking you up and refusing to let go. You're being ignored. Being ignored is accompanied by its friend called sadness; who's a total bitch that likes gripping your heart and slowly shredding it to pieces. Being ignored is one of the worst feelings in the world. It's like a tsunami of poisonous gas that will suddenly wash over you but deliberately take its time in suffocating you, driving you insane because you just want it to be over with. And when you want it to be over with, you become desperate. Desperate enough to take a box cutter to your wrists with the hope that words will spill out of your family's mouths like the red elixir spilling out of your veins. They do, though the words are saying you're going to a therapist and you're fine with it, because they see you. Until you never make it to the office because they forgot. Desperate enough to take your entire personality and twist and refine it to meet other people's needs and views until you're nothing but a fragmented, deformed version of yourself. A version that has to paint a new mask on every night to cover the holes and hide the cracks. And then they finally decide to just throw the mask away. You're being ignored again. And being ignored doesn't feel very good does it? It feels like you're being stuffed into a Jack in the Box and finally when you can't take it anymore, you burst out and scare everyone, for nothing though, because they just shove you back into the box. Back into a world of muffled thoughts and silence.

Events are complex, yet (with a little creativity and lots of careful planning) can become memorable, successful and enjoyable experiences for everyone, including you – the organiser. The Executive Traveller event-planning tips are designed to help events organisers to focus on what they must do to deliver consistently great events. You will need to think through a logical process which will include research, design, planning and production tasks. Purpose: Do your research: Before you get stuck into organising your event, do you know whether anybody else (other than you and your team) considers it to be a good idea? You must first conduct some formal or informal quantitative and/or qualitative research, to identify needs, and then find an event to match. Ultimately, you are trying to reduce the risk which you are taking, through delivering an event which your customers actually want. At this stage, too, you must decide what the purpose of the event is – why hold an event? This information will inform all of your decisions from this point forward. Presentation: It's design time: Having established that it's a good idea, it is now time to create a blueprint for your event: what is it going to look like, feel like, the programme, theme, activities, promotion: in other words, the 'how' of delivering an event which will meet your intended audience's expectations. After you have created your outline event design plan, it is always advisable to do more market-acceptance research: do potential audience members like it? Recheck the figures and see whether it is still feasible, given the available resources. Planning: You simply cannot spend too much time planning your event. With definitive answers to why, who, what, when and where, it is time to source and contract everything you will need to make your event a success. What services do you require? What sort of expertise do you need? What type of organisational structure do you require? Your event project plan will identify critical dates; these will dictate the tempo of your decision-making. Place. Your Event's Venue: When selecting the venue, know who your guests are. Wealthy guests require a five star hotel or resort and all the services provided during the event must be of very high quality. Do not despair, there are some fantastic venues available, so do think creatively about your venue choice. A great venue really sets the tone and sense of occasion for your event. A thorough evaluation of the venue and what it has to offer must be undertaken, to determine whether it is a good match for your event and organisation. How many people can it accommodate? Will the proposed audience like it? How flexible and accommodating do you think the venue's staff will be? What services and facilities can the venue offer you? Programme: The programme can make or break an event. It is one of the vital components of your event – it's the reason why your audience is there, so it must be good. The programme outlines what the audience is going to do, listen to, watch and take part in. It has to be interesting, engaging and enjoyable. If you want your audience to remember your event, for all of the right reasons, you need to establish how your audience is really going to get involved in your event. Participation: Audience members always want to feel part of the events which they attend; when they do, they can get a very real sense of engagement – something stirs inside! When this happens, they leave events with great memories and a strong impression of the host organisation. Events managers must think about how they are going to involve their audiences and what they are going to take part in, learn about, experience, try out and problem-solve. Promotion: Your planned event may be the next big thing, but, if your promotion misses the mark, your event will fail. Your promotion must seek to draw people to the event: to excite them to buy, enquire, to talk to you and/or to join. Your promotion must provide a compelling reason for attending, promising a rewarding, entertaining, informative, exciting and not-to-be-missed event. You will undoubtedly have to use a mix of promotional media to get the message to your audience. Do you know how your audience typically finds out about events; if you don't know, don't guess - find out. Production: Making it happen. Event managers must understand what needs to happen on the ground to ensure a successful event. Operational plans must detail all arrival times, staffing levels/roles, contractors' build times, arrivals' sequence, event-opening times and, of course, must not omit the all important risk assessments and event management plans, plus health and safety. People: Your people, your team and you: Events are hard work, so you will need a committed team around you. Consider also your external team members: what qualities do you require from them? Match talents to tasks. Events are a service, so the attitude of your team members, all of them, will be instrumental in creating that high-quality event experience which your audience will remember. What do you know about your audience: Who are they? What do they do? Where do they come from? If you don't know who they are, how can you provide for them? Events managers require bags of energy and a real passion for their work; if you spread infectious enthusiasm, your staff will respond and guests will really enjoy being around those who love what they are doing. Fine Tuning Venue Size Check the venue to make sure that your venue can easily accommodate your expected target audience. It should not be too small or too large for your guests. If too small, then your guests will feel discomfort. If it is too large then you will unnecessarily end up paying more for the venue . Know how many people are attending Know how many people are attending your event with R.S.V.P clearly printed on the invitation. The term R.S.V.P is a French acronym. Its meaning in English is 'Please Respond'. If R.S.V.P is printed on the invitation then the invited guest is expected to tell the host whether or not he/she is attending the event. Since many people don't understand the meaning of this term or don't bother to reply back, it is advisable to individually call and ask your guests about there plan to attend the event. In this way you can get quite accurate idea of the guest size which will help you in deciding food and beverage quantities also . Convenience Your venue should not be very far from the place where majority of your target audience live. It should have proper lighting and ventilation. It should not be in a noisy or polluted area. It should be absolutely neat and clean and free from any type of infestation. It should also be able to manage all types of climatic conditions. Always try to organize indoor events if possible as there production cost is lesser than the outdoor events. Research your venue Find out how many events have been organized in the venue so far; whether or not venue and the staff there is event friendly. If venue has noise ordinance problems in the past like neighbours calling the cops to shut down the event, then it is not a good idea to organize event there especially outdoor event. Parking facility Make sure venue has its own parking space. It should be big enough to accommodate your guest's vehicles conveniently. If parking space is not adequate then look for other venue. Never compromise on parking space especially if you are organizing event on a large scale. Security Arrangements Security of guests, service providers and target audience is a very important issue which should never be neglected or compromised at any cost. Make sure that your venue has adequate number of fire extinguishers, fire alarms, emergency escape routes, sprinkler system (a system consist of overhead pipes designed to control or extinguish fires), security personals, handicap ramps, security cameras, first aid kits and power backup (like generator, inverter, UPS). Your venue must have separate entrance and exit gates and it should not be more than 30 minutes away from the nearest hospital. If your venue is at a remote location then presence of doctor and ambulance is a must. Also make sure your mobile phone properly works there. If your mobile phone network area is weak there or doesn't exist then you must have some other modes of communication like satellite phone. For large scale events presence of fire fighters, fire engine, police, paramedical team with ambulance is a must. Venue Staff Your venue must have adequate number of staff to serve your guests. Find out the ratio of servers to guests. The venue staff must be friendly, helpful and courteous. It should be decently dressed. Give special attention to there personal hygiene. Nobody likes to be served by someone who is stinking and looks like a pirate of the 13th century. Ask you venue manager whether or not the staff is able and willing to work overtime. Restrictions Every venue has some unsaid restrictions like photography and videography restrictions, alcohol restrictions, music restrictions, dress code, decoration related restrictions (like you can not install your own structure and lights for decoration or paste/paint anything on the venue's wall), advertising restrictions (like you can not put a banner on the main gate of the venue) and other restrictions like outside caterer is not allowed or outside security service is not allowed etc. Find out all these restrictions before hiring a venue. Additional Services Some venue provides additional services like catering, floral decoration, fireworks, audio-visual aids; Staging, Lighting, props, decor for event production; ticketing, reservation, transportation and sight seeing tours for the guests; DJs, anchors, performers etc for event programs. Questions you need to Ask Ask following questions from venue manager before hiring a venue: Venue Fee Does it include: • all other taxes? (Negotiate rental fee to ensure the best deal.) Is dance floor • table, chairs and linens • Is security and liability coverage included in the venue fees? Q5) What is the price range for a seated/buffet lunch and dinner? Q6) What are the Corkage fees? i.e. fees to server liquor. Make sure that venue has the license to serve alcohol. Check the license for expiration date. Q4) Is there any cost for parking? Generally parking space is provided free of the cost by the venue but some venues may charge separately for parking facility. Budget for what is not included in the venue fee? Q7) What is the cost of sleeping rooms? Q8) What is your cost per person and per food item? Q9) What are your bartending and bar set up fees? Q10) What are your fees and how do you charge for providing additional services? Such as floral decoration, fireworks, audio-visual aids; staging, lighting, props, decor for event production etc. Q11) What modes of payments are available? Q12) What are your payment, refund and cancellation policies? 8) Venue Inspection If you will go as an event manager to a venue for inspection you will be shown the venue as an ideal venue for organizing your event. So best way of inspecting a venue is to check-in there as an anonymous guest, stay there for 2-3 days and deliberately use all the services provided by the venue. Make sure Air Conditioners, fans, water tabs work properly, elevators are operational. There is adequate lighting and ventilation. Check out for sanitation and infestation. Find out how helpful, courteous and professional is the venue staff. 9) Amount of Work Required Select a venue where lesser amount of work is required to be done. Lesser the work, lesser will be the production cost of the event.

Five of Cups When the Five of Cups appears in your reading, a black hole is sucking out your life energy. This is usually due to a loss of some sort. Disappointment is a bitch, it is also a part of life. The trick is to not stay there if it visits you. Let yourself feel the heavy feelings, but at a certain point you need to move on. It is pointless to ask 'why' when there is no answer. Remember that on the card there are still two out of 5 cups standing...all is not lost. Pick up these cups and keep moving. Start saying 'Thank You that the worst is over' as you continuously move away from the pain. You will heal. This card can represent existential angst. We are born with a certain level of discontent. This is a spiritual situation and the 5 of Cups can be a push to find more meaning in life. In a relationship reading, this card sucks. It represents deep disappointment in a connection or person. It may trigger feeling abandoned. The Fives of the tarot tend to be challenging. They usually represent some sort of crossroads or crisis we need to work our way out of. You are adjusting your course in the middle stages of a journey. ​

use either Offwoods with DEET or Bull Frog with DEET! Deet is the crucial part. My friends father did a lot of the research on Deet and says that it really works. He says you do NOT need to add more than they suggest. It wont help any more if you add more than they recommend. However, I say this and nothing works for me. My friends always joke that im the "tenderloin" and theyre the "ribs" (as in the tenderloin=delicious part of the deer and ribs=not as tasty....I have no clue how we started that...) I literally act as a bug repellant for my friends. Bugs FLOCK to me. I have 20ish bites on my legs at all times...which stinks because I scratch them til I have bruises.

Urban Gardener Keepsake Cards The sun is shining and rain is on the way this weekend, which means the garden is growing! And yesterday a swarm of honeybees moved into the little "swarm trap" nuc box I'd set up for them. They'll soon be pollinating a little closer to home. Stumptown Printers has introduced four new tri-color Keepsake cards this season (it's still Spring, right?) celebrating the creatures and plants that bring the urban gardeners among us so much joy … you can get them from our shop or buy online.

SFTP Gateway Azure Getting Started with SFTP Gateway on Azure Overview SFTP Gateway is a pre-configured SFTP server that transfers files to Azure Blob Storage. You can use the SFTP Gateway admin interface to create an SFTP user. After that, the SFTP user can upload a file to the server, which in turn pushes the file to Azure Blob Storage. Once successfully transferred to Azure Blob Storage, the file is deleted from the server. Figure 1: An admin user connects to the web interface and creates an SFTP user. The SFTP user connects to SFTP Gateway and uploads a file. The server uploads the file to Azure Blob storage. 1. Launch a VM To begin, launch the SFTP Gateway virtual machine from the Azure Marketplace. You will need to configure your network security group with access to port 22 for SFTP, as well as ports 80 and 443 for the web management interface. 2. Initial configuration 3. Create an SFTP user and log in After completing the one-time setup, you can start using SFTP Gateway. Provision an SFTP user, and then log in as that user. Upload a file, and that file will automatically appear on Azure Blob Storage.

Custom Range Month Year Month Year There were hundreds of 20W 9cms PAs doing the rounds at rallies three or four years ago. They were made by Stealth Microwave and run off 12V and were selling for quite low prices. Dealers couldn't sell them, I think quite a few were bought for their attractive purple heatsinks. They came in a box with two and a PSU and diplexers that make good filters typically £25 or less. It won't help to point out you should have got one while they were cheap but on the plus side, there are probably a lot of them still about. While you look, there are also 50W models of that PA and some 15W HP amplifiers which were more efficient.

Yes, they work nicely in 50 Ohm systems. Traditionally on an exponentiation Slot or Vivaldi antenna the feed point was 1/4 wave in front of a short. Later is was learned that replacing the 1/4 wave slot with a circle greatly broadened the frequency response of the antenna. As for the ridges themselves. The size of the opening determines the lowest frequency they will work at. How close you can position the slots determines the highest frequency. Basically it's the structure behind the feedpoint that is helping to set the impedance. Kent PS I like to think to the Vivaldi antennas as a ridged horn without the horn! hihi

Reasoning doesn't have this function of helping us to get better beliefs and make better decisions. It was a purely social phenomenon. It evolved to help us convince others and to be careful when others try to convince us. The position of Mercier and Sperber would appear to provide an evolutionary explanation for all manner of rhetorical devices and tendencies. Individuals, for example, have a tendency to ignore data that does not support their case. This phenomenon is called confirmation bias. In a sense, reason isn't an instrument by which to acquire truth. Instead, it's perhaps more ambiguous. Reason is a means by which to convince others, change their minds. Reason is coercive. Mercier and Sperber's argument has inflamed some elements of the academic community. Darcia Narvaez, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Notre Dame diminished the theory as a moment of academic fashion: [it] fits into evolutionary psychology mainstream thinking at the moment, that everything we do is motivated by selfishness and manipulating others, which is, in my view, crazy. Others have remarked that Mercier and Sperber's argument is in fact an example of the wisdom of crowds or the aim of deliberative democracy, described by Rawls and Habermas. Jonathan Haidt, a professor at UVA quoted by the Times, suggested as much: Their work is important and points to some ways that the limits of reason can be overcome by putting people together in the right way, in particular to challenge people's confirmation biases. Mercier and Sperber appear to be heading in this direction, as well. Their article points to the advantages of group dynamics in the development of strong arguments. The group, after all, is equipped to present and vet many perspectives in rapid succession. The group could conceivably pick apart instances of confirmation bias and illuminate flaws in reasoning. According to Mercier and Sperber, At least in some cultural contexts, this results in a kind of arms race towards greater sophistication in the production and evaluation of arguments. When people are motivated to reason, they do a better job at accepting only sound arguments, which is quite generally to their advantage. Yes. Reason may be coercive, but Mercier and Sperber seem to be saying that with enough reason, enough speech, the group should arrive at a better outcome. Indeed, it's reminiscent of the logic underpinning the metaphor of the marketplace of ideas – that more speech and more argument might spawn better speech. Justice Holmes, who coined the phrase in 1919, would be proud. The marketplace metaphor, however, is flawed. As we've seen at other times, through the views of Ronald Coase, Justice Stevens, and others, an efficient market in speech does not equate to some Spenserian concept of survival of the fittest. Indeed, Mercier rather off-handedly observed, "It doesn't seem to work in the U.S." Which leaves us with a question, just what is this metaphor we call the marketplace of ideas? Is the mere presence of a group itself sufficient to present and vet a variety of arguments? How do economic resources distort the marketplace of ideas? Like this: Some 33% of US stock trading activity takes place outside of exchanges. Four years ago, only 20% of trading did. What does that mean? Now, only two-thirds of trading actually sets the price of a stock that zips along the ticker, down from 80% in 2007. Where has all the trading gone? Call it high frequency trading or automated market making or any number of other monikers, but trading isn't happening on the exchanges. Instead, they might be traded within a dark pool, through a crossing network, or absorbed within the platform of a broker-dealer. The prices in these venues, however, don't make it to the tape, and we are left with a question: is that a good thing?Read the rest of this entry » Like this: BlackRock caused a stir in 2009 when it announced its intention to increase the practice of crossing trades. It signaled to the street that they were sufficiently large to find counterparties within and among their many portfolios and clients. They would no longer rely so greatly on the efforts of outside brokers. Brokerages recoiled in defense and BlackRock was forced to say that it would continue to be a big customer of the street. Nonetheless, their intention hung in the air. It wasn't that crossing trades would comprise a new development. Asset managers have crossed trades before and in great number for years. Why should an investment manager go to a brokerage to sell a security when another of the firm's portfolios or clients would like to buy it? Cross the trade, and you don't have to pay a brokerage fee. The practice lowers costs and lowers risks by limiting one's reliance on the street for pricing, market intelligence, and execution. BlackRock's scale, however, suggested that something might be different this time. But was it? BlackRock's proposal represents the slow realization of a long-standing trend in the securities market – the systematic and persistent diffusion of the market center. In practice, it has meant a progressive shift from transactions through a fully regulated cartel at the core to a spontaneous and dynamic arrangement of counterparties. In fact, BlackRock's proposal today bears the same signature as the odd-lot controversy in 1975, when Merrill Lynch proposed executing odd-lot trades on behalf of their clients. But it differs in one important respect. Rather than a brokerage house, it's the investment manager that is driving the change: a principal, rather than an agent. Merrill Lynch approached the New York Stock Exchange in 1975 with a simple proposal. They wanted to execute odd-lot trades off the exchange. Odd-lot trades comprised orders of fewer than 100 shares. Brokers would typically pass these to floor specialists, who would bundle them in round lots and execute them on behalf of a Merrill Lynch client. Merrill proposed to match odd-lot trades with buyers from among their existing clients and execute them at a lower cost than otherwise. The specialists were terrified. Merrill's proposal would shift transactions away from the specialized floor traders, such as Carlisle DeCoppet, for example, the reigning specialist in odd-lot trades. Odd-lot trading comprised less than 5% of trading on the exchange, but the members feared the change would undermine a carefully constructed cartel that, through policy and procedure, directed the vast majority of trades to the floor of the exchange for execution by member firms. ChrisWelles, writing in New York Magazine, 20 October, 1975, laid out the stakes: "Carlisle DeCoppet's monopoly would be destroyed and its profits all but wiped out if Merrill Lynch goes ahead with its plan, for Merrill's 1.5 million customers account for 26 percent of Carlisle's business." Merrill Lynch would effectively create a mini-stock exchange, separate from the NYSE. The NYSE had only just been compelled by the SEC to no longer fix brokerage rates in May. The exchange forfeited the 183 year practice on May 1st, 1975, a day that would come to be known as May Day. Members, having lost the organizing influence of the cartel's discipline, quickly found themselves in a price war, undercutting each other dramatically. With it emerged the first generation of discount brokerages. Many rules, however, remained, but the exchange was losing power. The debate had moved to Rule 394, which had been designed to limit off-floor execution of trades. Though it did permit them if the off-floor price was better than the floor price, the spirit of the rule was intended to keep as much execution on the floor as possible: "Even if Merrill Lynch isn't formally breaking 394, they are opening up a wedge. They are violating the spirit of 394," said Harry Jacobson, a specialist on the floor at the time and then head of the Association for the Preservation of the Auction Market, a 700-member strong association of specialists with an interest in floor trading. Donald Weeden likened it to the Blackout Rule for sports-fans, "league-sponsored rules erected to assure a full-house for club owners." Welles had just publishedThe Last Days of the Club, in which he outlined the decline of the then stalwart Wall Street firms and subsequent rise of their inheritors. The title alone told the story, but the market for exchange seats made it tangible. The price for an exchange seat dropped in one month from $125k to $65k on the news of Merrill's plan. Jacobson, the APAM, and the floor was already under pressure. The increased importance of block-trading and simultaneous emergence of new technology had changed the market. Institutional investors had reached a critical mass. With their increased asset base, they increasingly looked to the floor to handle block trades. These weren't odd-lots or round lots. They were large lots. Individual investors had rarely required such large capacity, but with their assets pooled in large institutions, it became an expected and regular event for which the specialists on the floor were unprepared. If these trades took them by surprise, new technologies, their adoption by institutional investors, and their impact on the world around the floor would have seemed even more earth-shattering to the convivial contretemps so often associated with the floor – grab-assing, practical jokes, and hijinks. Automation had come and gone for the floor specialists, with one noting, despite the prospect of considerable savings for individual investors, "let's not engineer ourselves out of business." Merrill Lynch would get its way. May Day had weakened the exchange. Merrill's proposal did not violate 394. It saved their customers money, and it uncovered the swollen and unsympathetic features of the cartel that dominated equity trading through the NYSE. The securities market would begin the systematic and persistent diffusion of the market center in favor of the edge. In 1975, the market moved from the floor specialists at the center to the investor-facing brokers, such as Merrill Lynch, at the edge. The floor lost its monopoly and other firms, such as Merrill Lynch, other exchanges, or agents would emerge as competitors. Almost thirty-five years later, Larry Fink would voice a similar proposal, but it would come from an asset manager, not a broker or an exchange: a principal, not an agent. In September 2009, Fink announced that BlackRock would organize a system to cross trades within its massive asset-base for the benefit of the firm and its clients. He introduced it in terms of "trading friction cost" and lamented, "we need to make sure we're not being taken advantage of." Just like Merrill in the odd-lot controversy, BlackRock would cross-trades to benefit their clients: "our clients are going to make more return." Fink would go on to say, "There's no question, you have seen huge profitability in some of these institutions. The widest bid-ask spreads are in fixed income — the more opaque the market, the more money the market makers are making." BlackRock wasn't just interested in equities, it was interested in fixed income and perhaps other markets as well. BlackRock would raise the specter of crossing trades again in late 2010. The FT quoted BlackRock president, Rob Kapito, on 28 December 2010: "We are developing the technology in-house to offer better value by lowering trading costs." BlackRock's push was quickly compared to the ill-fated E-Crossnet collaboration between Merrill Lynch Investment Managers and Barclays Global Investors in 2000. The collaboration aimed to provide a buy-side only crossing network to circumvent traditional brokers. E-Crossnet was part of the same shift from the center of the marketplace that began in 1975, but it had more in common with existing ECNs of the time. It failed to gain traction and was sold to ITG who combined it with the POSIT dark pool – effectively as an external agent. BlackRock, however, would operate as a principal, crossing trades across its vast collection of portfolios. BlackRock would effectively create a mini stock-exchange, separate from the NYSE and separate from everyone else, entirely, and entirely different than E-Crossnet. E-Crossnet relied on a network effect across buy-side clients. The resulting pool of liquidity would provide low-cost transactions among the participants, but someone still needed to run it. It needed an agent, so it went to ITG. BlackRock's network relies only on the ability of BlackRock Solutions to design and develop a crossing system that will sit within BlackRock' trade processing and order management system. BlackRock will run it, and they have sufficient scale to make the returns on those investments economical. Nonetheless, it would not be surprising to see BlackRock license the system to third parties for others to implement in their order flow and trade processing systems, just as they do with the Aladdin system for risk management. It would not be E-Crossnet Revisited. It would be licensed. The first call for liquidity in BlackRock's system won't be to a broker. It will be to BlackRock. And perhaps the first call for Fidelity or Capital Research or AllianceBernstein won't be to a broker. It will be to themselves, through a clever piece of software written by BlackRock solutions and part of the overarching trend of the market to decompose its center, drive execution toward the edge: from the select membership of the NYSE cartel to a cluster of brokers and other markets, to dark pools and now to the underlying investors and owners of the securities, each linked by pools of liquidity. The early eighties saw dramatic changes in the banking regulatory environment. These changes fundamentally re-oriented the rules and competition within the banking system. Two bills started the process, which would continue throughout the eighties and into the nineties. As one would expect, they emerged out of a deepening crisis. DIDMCA in 1980 and Garn-St Germain in 1982 responded to the high-interest rate environment that had exposed and exacerbated competitive disadvantages at the community bank and S&L level that stemmed from the existing regulatory framework. The legislative answer, in the form of DIDMCA and Garn-St. Germain shifted bank's focus to financial products and opened the competition across state lines. The result was a shift in mind-set. Banks became two things. First, they became retail institutions designed to sell increasingly complicated financial services. Second, they also took on the ability to hold and manage increasingly risky assets. Both got them into trouble, but the shift to a retail mind-set is what changed the architecture of the bank. Banks had been institutions defined by their place and designed to hold your money in a limited and regulated set of products. Banking institutions had been more like farms than those we regard today. Their business was tied to the fact that they were a physical part of the region. The McFadden Act of 1927 and the Douglas Amendment to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 intentionally obstructed the development of national banks. Their financial services were regulated, and they competed for customers based on the fact that they were close. These banks, coddled by a stable regulatory structure, remained largely unchallenged by competing institutions and cultivated the architecture of safety. The high interest-rate environment of the early eighties strained the regional banks and forced legislators to respond. Banking regulations had put community banks and S&Ls at a competitive disadvantage. Interest rates were regulated and had not kept pace with the high interest-rate environment ushered in by Volcker's Federal Reserve. As a result, they were losing deposits, and the banking system was in turmoil. The DIDMCA focused on establishing equality among financial services institutions, so it would level the competitive field. It removed interest rate caps on deposits for community banks by phasing out Regulation Q, so they could compete with money market funds and provide market rates. Thrifts were allowed to enter the consumer loan and credit card business. The bill provided a consistent framework for reserve requirements that would be managed by the Federal Reserve as an instrument of monetary policy. It also raised the FDIC insurance levels to $100k, which William Isaac later claimed, with Fernand St Germain, was a mistake. Banks started on a trajectory from being a place to keep your money to a place for accessing money-services on the open market. The crisis did not abate. The economy was in a major recession. Paul Volcker had raised interest rates to unimaginable levels. The thrift industry was in crisis, and congress came to the rescue in two ways. First, it accelerated the deregulation of banks and S&Ls, so they could improve their business. Second, it interceded with insolvent banks through direct funding and opening the possibility of non-regional and interstate acquisitions of banks. The deregulation of the banking industry introduced a tectonic shift in banking. Banks would grow into financial supermarkets of services. Services, such as interest rates, which had been regulated, became competitive and subject to active management. These new abilities would enable banks to become aggressive producers and managers of capital. This was evident in many respects. The bill accelerated the abolition of remaining Regulation Q differentials between banks and thrifts, which governed maximum allowable rates on deposit accounts. S&Ls and savings banks gained the power to invest up to 5% of their assets in commercial loans. Up to 30% of an S&L's assets could be invested in consumer loans, and they also could invest in state and local government bonds. In a high interest rate environment, this accrued to their benefit by making their deposits more competitive, improving the returns on their deposits, and perhaps improving net interest margins. Garn-St Germain also de-regulated real-estate loans, removing statutory restriction on real estate loans for national banks, and preempted state regulation that would adversely affect the activities of a national bank. Garn-St Germain convened a spectrum of solutions for failing institutions. The Federal Savings and Loan insurance Corporation (FSLIC) introduced the concept of net worth certificates. These would be purchased by the FSLIC, counted as regulatory capital, and provide for the ongoing operation of the bank as a solvent entity. The legislation authorized the FDIC to bless interstate banking acquisitions of closed savings or commercial banks with assets over $500m, and similar powers were granted to the FSLIC. Both the McFadden Act of 1927 and the Douglas Amendment to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 had been designed to obstruct the development of an interstate banking system by devolving regulatory responsibility to the states, leaving no consistent national regulatory fabric. The FDIC's new powers were a direct challenge to 50+ years of banking practices that defined banks and financial services in terms of place, not product. The Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987 would later make these changes permanent and pervasive. DIDMCA and Garn-St Germain shifted banks' focus to products, and place, though still important, was no longer integral of the bank's identity. Later regulation, such as CEBA, would compound and expand these changes. The rising metaphor for banking became the retail store. The architecture of safety was for institutions that were rooted in the region and frozen in the regulatory structures that came out of the market crash and depression. The emphasis was safety, the product mix was simple and regulated, and banks looked more like traditional, quasi-state institutions. The changes in the early eighties forced banks to expand the financial services they provided and provide them just like retail stores. These were new, highly variable, and very competitive. It's not for nothing that Garn-St. Germain included the initial Truth in Lending provisions. The new services at the local bank level required marketing support and additional education. A teller didn't have to give their client a toaster to stand out. With Regulation Q retired, they could offer a more competitive interest rate. These dynamics are more typically associated with consumer goods, and the architecture changed to suit them, promote them, and grow the business. Retail banking begins, and with it, glass boxes and retail spaces find themselves occupied by the former tenants of the traditional and staid – banks. Out of region and out of state competitors begin to spring up. They've acquired failed banks or otherwise joined the market. The new branches are designed to sell financial services and projected into new markets. They're designed to be retail stores for financial services. Banks find that they can quickly open "new doors," as they might say in the retail industry, and these doors are the source of new deposits and sale of loans, accounts, et al. One question that emerges is, if the front end of banks begins to shift into retail and change its relationships with its customers, how does the back end change? How do banks change their relationship to the supply of money? The legacy of the local bank had been deposits funded by a local depositor base and lent to the local depositor base according to strict capital requirements. What happens as the community banks and S&Ls gain direct exposure to the capital markets? One answer is Liar's Poker.

Caveman by Avery Kloss – A Time Travel Romance (A Review) Surviving a plane crash was a miracle, but what happened next defied all logic. Flying to Miami for a photo shoot, make up artist Janet Delgrange's plane crashes in a freak electrical storm, instantly killing the pilots and five other passengers. The survivors, some of whom are injured, discover the world is not what it should be. Photographer Philippe Fey sees strange and unusual things through the lens of his camera… creatures and people that look… primitive. Archaeologist Amy Sandhurst discovers a cave near Cactus Hill, Virginia. The drawings on the ceiling baffle her, leaving her to believe whoever painted a Twitter username amongst images of mastodons had to be playing a joke. After further analysis, she realizes they were written nearly ten thousand years ago. The survivors are not alone, traveling amongst fearsome, giant creatures and the Clovis people, who seem the most puzzling of all. Janet befriends young Punda, whose father, Gundre, is a hunter for the tribe. She is drawn to Gundre, who watches her across the fire, the flames of interest flickering in his eyes. Trapped in the past, Janet realizes she may never be able to go home again. Although this new life isn't something she could ever have imagined, she must adapt to survive. That could very well include becoming a caveman's wife. A Review by Beckey Modern woman is involved in plane crash and is transported back in time… I am sucker for Time Travel SciFi reads… (Well anything in the scifi realm… but that's neither here nor there…) This was intriguing and unique read that was definitely in its own… One I am on the preverbal fence on how to write this review… Overall not bad but could use some help… Positives I did like how the author wrote the dual times with different POVs. Basically it is like getting to romance stories in one… The uniqueness of the time travel bit. The uniqueness of the archaeology and cave drawling bit. Captivating, intriguing, unique and fast steady paced read that I had to slow down in some parts… Negatives There was some errors with grammar that were easily overlookable… The date above for the Clovis period some had month and day and there was others that include 2012 Janet's rapid weight loss in a matter of days… Really. No true chemistry for the first time between Janet (modern 21st century woman) and Gundre (a caveman). It seemed weird and off like the author said sex goes here forcing… Confusing in some spots like bathing… I don't think during the Clovis Period they were neatniks as the story portrayed. Add in the communications reminded me of Me, Jane you, Tarzan… as well as inserting what seemed the caveman language… The author could have delved more into what Amy, the archaeologist discovered in the cave with Janet's drawings… but didn't. Word choice seemed all over the place when it came to intimate scenes. It was like the author was trying to prove that she could use many differing clean words to describe the intimate scenes. Overall not a bad read just needs some cleanup… (This is a Kindle Unlimited book… Click on the cover to be taken to the Amazon Page)

lifestyle One of the great things about having a smartphone these days is that you're able to capture good quality photos on the go. Having a young family means I am always snapping pics on my phone so I've learnt through trial and error the best ways to capture moments with Luke and the girls. I have an iPhone 7 and find that when I use it in Portrait mode it produces a really nice DSLR-esque result. It's also foolproof as there's a guide which tells me if I need more light in the shot and also gives me a live preview of the depth of the shot so I know the best distance in which to take a picture. Whilst my phone provides great step by step guidance here are some things I always do when it comes to taking each photo… Choose a colourful background. I find the more vibrant the background the better the image as it gives it a great sense of energy. Shoot where there's lots of light. I'll try to find a location that's light filled as it produces a crisper, sharper image. When I'm taking photos of the girls I mix it up and love capturing close up images where they're looking to camera but I also really like candid shots of them playing and interacting with the world around them. I'll also experiment with different angles. For example sometimes shooting from above and looking down to take the picture may make a better shot than shooting straight on. I tend to refrain from editing my photos too much but it's sometimes necessary just to adjust lighting or colouring. There are plenty of apps to choose available but some of the more popular apps include Enlight and VSCO which allows you to enhance and tweak images on your phone. If you do edit your pics just remember that less is more. also a former fashion designer, Alex Zabotto-Bentley is used to channelling his energy into many a stylish endeavour. He's now channelling this artistic flair into interior design as the founder of AZBcreative. AZBcreative has masterminded some of Australia's biggest media and social events, including the March into Merivale, CLEO Bachelor of Year and Harper's Bazaar Luxury Awards. Among the company's high-end clientele is Palazzo Versace, Waterford Crystal and The Sydney Theatre Company and singer Lady Gaga. Alex chats to me about how he made his mark in interior design and even lets me in on a few of his best styling secrets below. AZB Styling pieces at home What is a day in the life of you? Apart from grappling with the eternal crisis of what to throw into my green juice, I am a very early riser. It doesn't matter if I've been working late on a project or have just arrived on a redeye flight from Europe, I always wake up around 5am. Seize the day! My philosophy is that to maximise your energy and productivity, you need to greet the sun every day. Get up before sunrise, head to your favourite vantage point – near the sea is always amazing – and watch it rise. And then (this is a bit spiritual), make your affirmations. It works, believe me. You start each day full of positive energy and resolve, ready to do your best work. Alex makes a point of welcoming the day by watching the sun rise daily How did you get started in interior design? To be honest, I spent so much of my childhood transfixed by houses – I used to mentally 'rate' them for architectural balance on the walk to school. And while everyone else at school was buying [surfing publication] Tracks mag, I was saving my pocket money for World of Interiors! My big breakthrough came when the wonderful, late [hotelier] Ian Robertson gave me carte blanche to design a massive, 4,000 square metre bar on the top of Melbourne's GPO. Even while working as a fashion director for magazines and designing my own label Fashion Assassin, I was leading a "double life", doing interior projects for friends on the side. What has been your greatest achievement so far? With respect to interiors I have been able to really create magical spaces, which are like no other. It's important to me to create a site-specific space, so we always try to custom make over 70 per cent of every interior. From designing our own range of tiles to creating our own pigment colours to working with local craftspeople to use their brilliant and sometimes under-appreciated skills. Kittyhawk [restaurant in Sydney] is a good example of this approach. We created original fittings with a sense of place and history, that perfectly fit that space and tell a story. From the hand-dyed leather for the banquettes to the antique French oak doors, the 12-metre long, hand crafted American Oak bar to the custom-made brass-trimmed shelving and tesserae tile design which I drew freehand, there will never be anything else quite like it. AZB Custom Tiles which Alex drew freehand What is your favourite room in your own house? Definitely my sitting room. It has a wonderful sense of space and light, with high 1920s ceilings and beautiful architectural details. The space is filled with hand selected furniture and decorative pieces that I have collected over time. Every piece tells a story and recalls a memory of a great trip or a weekend combing through flea markets or the thrill of discovering a new artist. It's so much more than just a space. I love collecting art, so it's like a private gallery with all the works I've collected, from original Keith Haring prints to beautiful, wild landscapes by Aaron Kinnane to modernist sculptures and abstract 1940s Italian art. But it's not fixed; it's an ever-evolving space, reflecting my travels and discoveries. Keith Haring artwork which Alex adores What made you move into events? It's all connected. Working on styling projects every day, I was invited to a lot of events and launches; you know how Sydney loves a party! But I felt that from the guest's point of view, the event design industry was lacking inspiring, immersive experiences, a high taste level and beautiful, memorable moments. Too many events were basically a bar, some wait staff, a media wall and a DJ. Boring! They were forgettable and added nothing to the brands being promoted. So I decided to tackle this very closed, competitive industry head-on, developing a reputation for custom-designed elements and experiences specific to each client. People really connected with these branded environments. I think we ruffled a few feathers at first, but the clients loved it. What is your number one styling tip for a special event? If you do one thing, always use incredible flowers. In fact, always double the flower budget, and do something totally unique. I'm not talking about staid arrangements; go big and amaze people. Make an impact with colour and sheer mass. We have dipped phalaenopsis orchids in jet black paint, to emphasize their amazing sculptural properties, and people went crazy. I also think it's essential to make sure every single staff member looks impeccable and dressed to suit the brand, whether it's crisp denim shirts for a whiskey tasting or impeccable black and white for a formal dinner. Make sure that the cocktails are totally desirable and unique and the catering is completely other-worldly…details, details make the event. Alex suggests doing "use incredible flowers" if you are styling an event What are the biggest mistakes people tend to make when it comes to styling an event? When creating events, people often think that is just about getting the celebrities and current "cool" people to attend…but a lot of celebrities only stay for a brief time before sweeping off to the next thing, leaving a void. Without those glittering people, the room feels cold. To create an exciting and engaging event, you have to mix and layer the guest list with interesting people, from unique fashionistas to vibrant, animated people with something to say. Mix young and old, established names and up-and-comers: chance encounters create energy. The magic is in the mix. What have been your top three favourite projects so far? Only three? Ok, one would be working with the wonderful [PR company] Max Media Lab to conjure a magical Swarovski dinner at the Sydney Opera House with Miranda Kerr. We created modern, shimmering spaces inside Bennelong, mixing white perspex, mirrors, metal and glass with acres of flowers and shimmering ornaments to embody Swarovski's latest collection. From the entrance, flanked by giant beaten silver vases of cascading roses and orchids to the shimmering, crystal-strewn white carpet, to the show-stopping. monumental stainless steel, geometric sculpture by Gregor Kregar, we owned that space! Attention to detail is a signature of our work, so we cut custom tabletops from white Perspex and applied delicate mirrored gold designs, then topped the tables with cubist vases to hold lavish, eccentric floral arrangements. Miniature French busts, half dipped in gold, added to the decadence. The Swarvorski 'White Carpet' event As far as interior projects, one of the most unusual was creating Seadeck for Scott Robertson [Seadeck's managing partner] and his team. It's an amazing floating venue on a gorgeous vintage ship: a 44 metre blank slate and a wonderful challenge. Inspired by the peak of luxury cruising, from the 1920s through 1940s we put a sophisticated twist on nautical design over three vast decks. Overall, it is a minimalist space in navy and white, with custom white lounges, Carrara marble table-tops, a bespoke brass-trimmed bar, curated nautical decorations and iconic four metre high palm trees. Of course, working on a boat is a challenge in itself. Everything needs to be fixed to the deck, protected from the elements and the furniture needs to double as clever storage. We were essentially designing an interior which would be exposed to wind, rain and sun 365 days a year, yet had to remain luxurious and unforgettable. Finally, we've had a long working relationship with Justin Hemmes and the Merivale Group. Producing and creative directing their March into Merivale event in 2015 was amazing. We welcomed about 100,000 people over five weeks, with 19 events across their venues, from The Ivy to Coogee Pavilion and everywhere between! Every venue and every event required a different approach and spoke to a different audience. We worked with chefs and sponsors to create custom experiences and environments, conceptualised and engaged entertainment, designed and crafted specific installations, stalls and furniture to express each venue and turned the whole Ivy laneway into a new dimension. Who needs sleep, anyway? The hard work paid off, though: we won a national design award for event activation. Alex's work at Merivale's Ivy Pool Club How closely do you work with the brands when designing their spaces? We work incredible closely with our clients. As specialists in branded environments, we need to understand their message and values thoroughly, to create spaces communicate the brand to their customers. The clients we have are very diverse, and each requires a specific solution, whether it be an international beauty brand like Avon to a boutique winery like [the one created for wine brand] Cloudy Bay, to creating branded environments for Westfield to super sized festivals at Coogee Pavilion. We spend a lot of time at the briefing stage to understand the client's real needs A table setting designed by AZB for March into Merivale What has been the best piece of advice you have ever received? To create change. What I mean is, don't just talk about it, do it. And do it differently. Never stop learning and innovating. Design isn't a static business. Technology changes, society changes…you can't afford to stand still or rest on your laurels. What's coming up in 2017? We were honoured to be awarded several international Design Awards last year which really raised our profile, and we're working on hotel projects, villa interiors and immersive experiences in Europe, Bali, Flores and Sydney…and we have some restaurant and bar projects that will change the way Sydney-siders approach dining and going out. I can't say too much, but watch this space – there are some amazing things coming! I Be love Italian food. In fact, I love it so much it was the type of cuisine I served at my wedding. This is why I decided to chat to Enrico Tomelleri, the head chef at 10 William St, a cosy wine bar and restaurant in Sydney's Paddington that serves up some tasty Italian fare. Here we chat about his philosophy to cooking, what ingredients he always has on hand and the one mistake people make when it comes to Italian cooking… What was your aim when you took over as head chef at 10 William St? The main aim has been accepting the challenge and having the chance to deliver food that I like to our customers. After a few years at 10 William St I got to know what they want and what they like. Why do you think 10 William St has been so well received? 10 William St has been so well received because it is a fun little bar that serves good wine and honest food. You can spend a night there every week without getting over it. This simple formula is the reason why we have the chance to work with a lot of regular customers. What has inspired the menu at 10 William St? The menu is constantly changing and we get inspired by what is in season and what our suppliers are recommending at the time. Having a solid base of Italian food is a good start. I like to collaborate with the rest of the team trying to find a fun and interesting way to create a dish by twisting some of the classic recipes that we know. That helps to keep us motivated. The cosy interiors of 10 William St What's the key to great Italian cooking? It could sound obvious but the key is to follow the seasonality of the ingredients. It is also a good ethic to follow and the right way to respect and to deal with your food and with your customers. What are some common mistakes people make when it comes to cooking Italian cuisine? The spelling of "Bolognese" sauce! What's your philosophy when it comes to cooking? I try to use [the least amount of] ingredients as possible trying to exalt the main one. Also, at the moment, I focus on the sustainability of them. 10 William St head chef Enrico Tomelleri What's your favourite Italian dish to cook? I like to cook any kind of risotto. What's one Italian dish you love to eat? I guess a good pizza is probably unbeatable What's one dining trend you think has been done to death? Burger perhaps… but there is always room for a good one. For those who love cooking Italian food, what are some ingredients you must always have on hand at home? Garlic, anchovies and a bottle of good olive oil (maybe some fish sauce..) Mistelle is a French-inspired wine bar and restaurant located in Sydney's Double Bay and without a doubt one of its highlights would have to be the unique and extensive wine list and that's all courtesy of its owner and sommelier Alicia Wadsworth. Wadsworth is a member of the Commanderie du Bordeaux, a graduate of the Gastronomicom Wine School in Languedox, South of France as well as holding her Wine Spirit Education Trust (WSET) levels 2 and 3 and a Diploma from the Sydney Wine Academy so she knows how to identify a seriously good drop. Here, she shares her top tips on choosing wine like an expert. What inspired your interest in wine? I grew up in the hospitality industry with a father who loved great wine, particularly red. We would always chat about it and he would teach me to appreciate it. As I got older and into the industry myself, I started trying different wines and found myself challenging my friends to try with me, a lot very reluctantly. The love just kept growing until I decided that rather than try learn myself I would start doing my WSET levels and once I started I loved it so much I continued. What's your favourite type of wine? I love so many different wines for different reasons, I am always trying new producers and different regions making new favourites. At the moment I am loving a good crisp Gruner Veltliner from Austria or a lovely Vouvray from the Loire, Marc Bredif is an easy go-to. I love my reds too. Red Burgundy and Bordeaux have a special place. I recently tried Chateau de Tertre from Margaux in Bordeaux and was impressed with a lot of their wines. I also love good old classic Aussie reds. Big, bold and punchy such as Torbreck. Sitting in the sun on my day off a lovely glass of cold rosé is always a winner. Lately I have been drinking Château Vannières from Bandol. What should people consider when choosing wine? Be adventurous! If you like a certain grape variety, try it from a different region. Also what is the occasion? If you are going to sit in the sun and eat oysters and prawns you probably don't want a big juicy McLaren Vale Shiraz, so you need to pick a style and grape that suits your purpose. Even if you are not totally into food pairing, you still want something that will heighten the occasion. If someone wants to bring a bottle of wine to a friend's house what are some of your tips for choosing one that will please without breaking the budget? My friends struggle with this all the time as they are worried I won't like what they bring…. When in doubt bring Champagne. And it is so much more affordable and accessible these days! Otherwise call the host and ask what would suit what they are cooking. If you were going to buy a wine for a special occasion what type would you choose? A good red Bordeaux or Burgundy if it's a dinner, to celebrate I love vintage Champagne like Krug. What are some of your tips for choosing wine on a restaurant menu? Ask for the sommelier or someone who knows a little about the list. Know your price range and what style you like. That way it is easy for someone to point you in the right direction. Or if they serve it by the glass ask for a little taste. Which regions are producing great wines at the moment? That's tough. I am a big fan of Margaret River wines, beautiful consistency in vintages. I love the Bordeaux style. I am loving cool climate Shiraz and Cabernet from the Yarra valley, Yarra Yering and Warramate have been doing some great examples. Exciting new wines from the Adelaide Hills region are playing around with Italian varieties which is always entertaining like Nebbiolo and Vermentino. South Africa is doing some fabulous stuff, particularly the Swartland region. Eben Sadie and Mullineux to name but a few. They are producing some fabulous white and red Rhone style wines. Mistelle's owner and sommelier, Alicia Wadsworth What's a little known type of wine you wish more people would try? Mistelle which is a grape juice or slightly fermented wine, which has been fortified by various types of spirit, depending on the region in which it's made. It can be a lovely and refreshing style, served chilled or on ice as an aperitif, or a heavier, more complex expression, accompanied with a selection of cheeses and desserts. What are some trends you're seeing when it comes to wine? Provenance Rose is trumping everything. Pinot Gris and Grigio also extremely popular. Riesling seems to be getting more and more accepted. All the pushing for all those years is starting to pay off. What is the best way to store wine? In a Vintec cabinet or similar brand. What's the key to selecting good wine glasses? Zalto glasses are amazing! I pretty much drink most things from these at the moment. You really only need a really good quality red and white standard glass. What type of wine should every person always have on hand at home? Champagne, Chablis and a good cool climate Shiraz. What are some common mistakes people make when it comes to wine? Serve it too warm or too cold, put ice in it. If you were to compile the ideal selection of foods to graze on whilst enjoying a glass of wine what would it entail? I am loving gorgonzola with a lovely glass of Chenin Blanc or steak tartare and Blanc de Blanc Champagne. What are some of your tips when it comes to serving wine at home during a gathering? I like to have a bit of a theme to my food and wine. Whether it be Italian food matched with Italian varietals, Old world vs New World like Australia vs France. I also like to open things that people may not have had before to try and test [guests'] boundaries. It gets the conversation going. Complete this sentence. A good wine is…. to be drunk and enjoyed with your nearest and dearest

Finally, the time has arrived. Teasers, clues, and seemingly insurmountable expectations of what the prog metal veterans will unveil have been buzzing across social media and dominating music news as of late. To say the new album from Tool is highly-anticipated is a massive understatement. Not unlike previous releases, their sludgey roots remain intact while, this time around, the sound has noticeably evolved to welcome a wider range of varying influences. The ever-present prog elements have been kicked up several notches along with some serious genre-hopping style shifts. This album has it all — from melodic to brutal, and everything in between while delivering a punishing arsenal of inventive riffage. The variation is most evident in the vocals which can, from one moment to the next, alternate stylistically anywhere from the likes of Geoff Tate to Chuck Shuldiner. The EP, scheduled to be released on January 11 th , via Napalm Records , combines many of the familiar elements that fans have come to know and love while, at times, diving a bit deeper into the prog realm, primarily in the form of more technical experimentation. The quintet consisting of Meka vocals , Bobby Keller lead guitar , Jarret Robinson bass , Christopher Lane drums , and Jay Adkisson keys have made quite a name for themselves in the metal world through their uniquely eclectic, genre-melding sound. 101 Things Birmingham Gave the World No. 86: Prog Rock Greetings to you, esteemed progressive music aficionado!

A shortened term which came about in the late 80s but stands for progressive rock music which dates back to the late 60s. It is rock based music that pushed boundaries beyond pop 'single' verse, chorus, verse, bridge, chorus, four minute compositions. Prog encompasses various styles dating back to the late 60s depending on influences and established music forms being blended together.

Robert Fripp claims David Bowie's estate will not acknowledge his "featured player" contributions to 'Heroes' and 'Scary Monsters. And a lot of old people, mainly male, too. But nevertheless, a lot of them were young, and a lot of them were women. This is astonishing. In short, Robert Fripp gets it. Whereas many of his contemporaries seem perfectly content to ride the nostalgia wave into the sunset — consider the popular Cruise to the Edge, hosted by Crimson contemporaries Yes and regularly featuring current and former members of Genesis, ELP and even Crimson itself — Fripp has no interest in waving the flag for a style that now, ironically, feels distinctly anti-progressive. Fripp is quick to praise his peers from that first generation. His speech — unfailingly orderly and precise, delivered in a crisp West Country accent — is peppered with pet digs mined from old reviews. Answering the door for his Sunday morning interview in a trim blue suit coat and matching vest, worn over a white shirt with a tie decorated with images of bees, smartly complemented by jeans and brown dress shoes, the year-old looked more like a stylish architect about to head into work. For one thing, the original King Crimson was extremely short-lived. Released in October , In the Court of the Crimson King helped to define a new rock era with its blend of menacing riffage, free-form improvisation and sumptuous ballads accented by Mellotron and flute.

It is the soundtrack to millions of lives, charts our loves and losses, and something that follows us and keeps us company from our wide-eyed, exuberant, youth to our befuddled and doddery old age.

Edison kickstarted a process whereby musicians and singers could commit sound to permanent record that could be played back across time and space.

Much has changed since August , then, but one thing has remained largely constant in the face of all these technological developments, economic progress and changing social conditions: pop songs are still usually under four minutes long. They have been for as long as anyone can remember, and probably always will be. List of progressive rock artists Date: Sat, 05 Apr King Crimson. All of it, especially the early stuff. It's just great. Complex, well played One of the best prog-bands. Progressive music is one of the most challenging genres to grasp and most diversified to absorb. Dating back to the mid to late 60's, Progressive Rock emerged in the UK and US as a broad genre rich with classical and symphonic influences with a lot of keyboard use and lengthy compositions of many movements – usually consisting of a concept or theme within the same song and as part of a bigger concept album. Progressive is indeed the story-telling art of music, the literary form of music. It is also classified as – but not limited to – Art Rock due to its experimental and avant-garde approach to Rock. It is the musical language of the intellect, with a high level of technical difficulty that makes it an exclusive genre to master. In other words, psychedelic sounds made love to classical, jazz and folk influences and added poetry to the mix to give birth to what we know today as progressive. It is untraditional, unconventional and sometimes inexplicable. The experimentation and instrumentation are so open-ended with eclecticism and fusions. Without a doubt the introduction of Rosanna Lefevre as lead vocalist was icing on the cake, she is seriously talented and we predict she will win many awards herself as well as with the band. This album is a must purchase! Recent Additions. Stay safe & well and we'll see you soon. The Album Series Tour Dates: Date, Venue, Tickets. Sunday The five-handed keyboard solos. The multi-part, half-hour suites with novelistic narratives. The painstakingly intricate album covers. The stupendously lofty ambitions. Instead, this diligently researched chronicle aims to grant the much-maligned genre something that has eluded it for decades: respect. Since then, I got deeper and deeper into it. And also, because of my job covering politics, it was a refuge. A lot of political writers get into sports, but the thing that I would follow—and get obsessed with and go to concerts when no one else wanted to go with me—was prog. The virtuosity of a lot of these prog musicians can often seem more akin to watching a great athlete than a typical rock star. And I respect people who think prog is ridiculous, but I just thought listening to those repeated glissandos was so much more fun than what other people were listening to. Just seeing a really good prog performer live would ruin bands I liked that were made up of guys in T-shirts who just came onstage and strummed.

Great Roman Catholic Schism: Intended Consequence of the October 2015 Bishops Synod by callthepatriot Great Roman Catholic Schism: Intended Consequence of the October 2015 Bishops Synod By Joseph Andrew Settanni For those who have been paying close attention, it should be quite obvious, by now, that Pope Francis seeks to provoke an intended schism within the Roman Catholic Church. How can this ecclesiastical horror be contemplated? Why is this said? His favoring of various heresies and near heresies that will be adopted, however subtly or plainly, by this terribly ill-founded Bishops Synod, cannot but have the then logical consequence of theologically and religiously dividing many Catholics against other Catholics, as to what orthodoxy means and does not mean. This apparent "triumph" of evil, nonetheless, still carries the proverbial seeds of its own destruction, regardless of a Satanic optimism. Faith of Our Fathers Challenged Pope Francis surely desires the equivalent of a major Protestant Reformation by the efforts, sought out especially through the aftermath of this greatly blasphemous Synod, to so significantly transform and transmute the inherent nature of the Holy Catholic Faith for all time. Regardless of the fact that he will not finally succeed in doing so, however, this certainly demonic effort of his will yet provoke sorrowful dissension, dissent, and discord, among many millions of the faithful, for many generations to come. Rivers of tears and prayers are to accompany this papal-induced disaster of a severe magnitude; existing dogmas and doctrines will be challenged; the Church will be shaken to its foundations. At all cost, the Devil, one surmises, is to be pleased by such internal agitation and turmoil. Obviously, this Holy Father's tremendously warped perception of and attitude toward the Faith is at enormous subversive variance, to say the least, with any genuinely orthodox understanding and valid comprehension of what is Roman Catholicism consistent with Scripture, Tradition, and Magisterium, the three pillars of the Catholic definition, the true and comprehensive sensus fidei. Judging by his often infamous conduct and nefarious career, he is, one must add, neither a naïve nor ignorant prelate just trying to supposedly do good within his own lights, as is often alleged by most of the uninformed, ill-informed, or simply too unobservant. This man of the cloth plots carefully and coolly toward the radical objectives, defined by a nominalist orientation of thought, that favor subjectivity, relativism, and ambiguity by existential design, not accident. The evil of schism is intentional, deliberate, on the part of Pope Francis because he thinks this is the best practical way of driving a permanent wedge between the orthodox adherents of the Faith, a minority, versus the manifest vast majority who are truly quite malleable and flexible, regarding what they are so willing to now supinely believe. There is fertile ground for much suffering. The majority of the poor sheep, ignorant of much, are lead by a deceptive and deceitful shepherd intent upon creating both enormous mischief and unholy disorder within the whole Church to please his hubris, parading falsely as humility, and cold contempt of traditional ways and values. What is Perceived, Seen and Unseen Tremendously poor catechesis, for at least several generations, has sadly disarmed the vast bulk of Catholics who blindly do assume that if the Pope says something it must be Gospel truth. Most of the unfortunate radicalism of the horrendous results of the detestable Second Vatican Council, the cause of the ongoing crisis, have filtered down into becoming mainly mainstream beliefs and practices. It is difficult for many to perceive heretical orientations, especially when sponsored and encouraged at the papal level. Many of the sheep will be led astray, millions are to find various paths toward their damnation, for the invisible powers of darkness are, thus, to rejoice at this insanely bizarre spectacle. Good called evil, evil said to be good. Metaphysical warfare, however, is significantly occurring well beyond what so superficially gets noted in popular culture; the so quite viciously and consciously overt attack upon the Christian family, marriage, and morality itself is literally cosmic in its ever ultimate proportions, not just temporal in its consequences, as to what may be easily noticed. Catholics need to open their eyes and alert their souls. What will result, basically, is a version of an Arian Heresy problem, where most of the institutions are to be predominately held by the heretics, while the faithful minority, the orthodox people, are to provide a, thus, continuing resistance that will be needed for only a few centuries at most; this since victory against the forces of error is to be achieved, though, of course, through much applied effort. Eventually, the seemingly triumphant heretics are to be displaced because, as is known, not even the Gates of Hell can prevail against the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church of Christ, meaning the Roman Catholic Church. Sin as evil and as seen in every heresy, no matter how notably bold it may appear, is ever only a negation, not a positive rendering of the Truth, the substantial reality of orthodoxy, of Catholicism. Ontologically speaking, sin is a lack of good, for by itself only a sort of vacuum exists; the real Christian spirit, moreover, craves the truth, not lies; orthodoxy, not heresy, for the Cross will conquer. And, the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary is set against the wiles of Satan forever. Sinfulness will not have the final word in this contest, though those heretical German bishops may cite very high-sounding principles, as with that evil heresiarch Martin Luther, the real bone of perennial Germanic contention concerns money; the ever plainly pleadingly pecuniary question of the governmental subsidy per declared communicant; the "religion" of all radical-bourgeois culture and calculation, not false appeals to supposedly sought after spiritual values and heavenly endeavor. Such is what is truly at the corrupted heart of the October 2015 Bishops Synod for its too heavily-leagued and heterodox instigators. There are to be those, however, with an Athanasian resolve ready to contest the field against both the internal and external enemies of Holy Mother Church, as heterodoxy, in the end, is so known to be both spiritually and intellectually puerile at best, repugnant to the Blood of Christ at worst. For to be most Christian is to be most orthodox as to all proper dogmas, doctrines, and teachings of the immemorial Church, founded by Jesus Christ Himself, and codified by Him forever in the appointment of St. Peter, the Rock. And, the supreme height of the invigorating orthodoxy of substantive Christianity, for all the ages upon ages, is justifiably exemplified in, by, and through Roman Catholicism, nothing else. Conclusion This universal and sacred truth, for over 2,000 years, is affirmed absolutely by the holy blood of the early Christian martyrs, the Communion of Saints, St. Thomas Aquinas, the Council of Trent, the cited pillars of the Faith, innumerable converts such as Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman, as to the always correct development of the Faith; the Patristic Fathers; the First Vatican Council; the Doctors of the Church; and much, much else besides. The profound theological and religious weight and courageous substance of Catholicism, therefore, can only come to crush the contemptible vanity of Pope Francis and his more hard-core sycophantic followers. The terrible future schism being vilely welcomed by Pope Francis cannot, therefore, last forever. His vain heterodox hopes are, therefore, to be eventually just dashed asunder. As during the centuries of the Arian Heresy, the often oppressed laity is to valiantly and heroically pour forth many requisite vocations, prayers, sacrifices, penances, holy families, money, and their blood, sweat, and tears, when needed, to help secure the blessed future for Catholicism, not heresy. Holy Mother of God, ora pro nobis. And yet, there is glory, be it told, living and dying by the Sign of the Cross.

The improvements include a new kitchen, new bathroom, rear extension to create an open plan kitchen / diner / seating room, and complete redecoration throughout. The spacious accommodation now comprises a dine in kitchen, with space for casual seating, two bedrooms, one of which is currently being used as a second reception room, and a bathroom. There is also private storage under the communal stairs, accessed from this flat. The newly extended kitchen is a lovely space, with a shaker style kitchen cupboards, quartz tops and an integrated fridge / freezer and dishwasher. A generous range cooker is set within what was the chimney breast, and the base and wall units provide ample storage. The dining and seating area are flooded with natural light thanks to the large roof light and the French doors that access the rear courtyard garden, which has been laid with limestone paving and attractive fencing and planting. There is a Gazco gas wood burning stove in the seating area, ensuring that this is a warm and cosy space on the chilliest of evenings. Both bedrooms are good doubles and feature the original fireplaces and exposed wooden boards. The master to the front, which is currently used as a further reception room, has a large bay window, fitted with plantation shutters for added privacy. The flat is set within a large Victorian townhouse, comprising of just 3 homes, and has a share of freehold. Meadow Hill Road is a highly desirable residential road on the favoured southern side of the vibrant spa town of Tunbridge Wells. Located within 200 yards of Tunbridge Wells main line station and the bustling High Street, the apartment is also only 50 yards from the famous Calverley Park and even less from Grove Park, so perfect for the young professional or investment buyer. Tunbridge Wells town centre, with its well-regarded restaurants, extensive shopping facilities and mainline station with regular services to Central London, is also within easy walking distance. There are excellent schools in the area with St Peters CEP and Claremont Primary School both only a short walk away - and there are a variety of options in both the independent sector and the much sought-after Kent Grammar system. The impressive, award-winning Bluewater Shopping Centre is 30 miles away and if you want to escape to the south coast, then the lovely seaside towns are only 26 miles distant.

Energy capping system holds promise of greener datacentres Microsoft researchers have unveiled a tool they believe could help minimise the amount of power used by datacentres without impacting on business performance. Typically, datacentre bosses can lower the power use – and therefore operating costs – by under-provisioning key parts of the power infrastructure, but this can lead to performance issues. So, a team of researchers set out to find ways to make datacentres greener, without impacting business. The team was led by Aman Kansal of Microsoft Research, along with his fellow Microsoft workers, Sriram Govindan and Sriram Sankar, presented their findings at this week's International Green Computing Conference in San Jose, California. Kansal and his team said they knew significant power reductions were possible if datacentre infrastructure such as uninterrupted power supplies, diesel generators or cooling systems were optimised for actual peak power loads rather than a peak power load based on sever nameplate power ratings. Most modern servers come with power management tools that make this type of power capping feasible. Typically, these tools rely on dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) to change the frequency at which the processor operates, effectively swapping a bit of performance for reduced power consumption. The team tested out a variety of power capping systems, using a mock-up system based on hosting 14GB of Wikipedia copy using a handful of web servers. "It is more efficient to provision for the peak of the sum of server power consumptions, or equivalently, the estimated peak power usage of the entire datacentre," the researchers said. Furthermore, the performance changes introduced in to the datacentre by DVFS tools could not respond quickly enough to potential spikes in demand and in some cases could introduce critical instability in to the system. So they set about developing an admissions control tool, to limit the number of requests made on servers. "This implicitly reduces the power consumption since the processor has more idle cycles that it can spend in lower power sleep states," the researchers said. Tests on the Wikipedia simulation showed that when used in conjunction with existing DVFS tools, this admission control system was able to cap power thresholds at pre-determined levels, enabling the team to make acceptable trade-offs between performance and power usage. The tool needs further fine tuning before being commercialised, but it opens up the possibility of greener datacentres in the near future.

Explanation of Keywords Jumping In the context of this article, "jumping" refers to the behavior exhibited by dogs when they physically leap onto their owners or other individuals.

These techniques include positive reinforcement, consistent commands, and establishing boundaries. By implementing these strategies consistently and patiently, you can effectively teach your dog to refrain from jumping on you. Frequently Asked Questions 1.

7 Ways Metaverse Crypto Can Drive You Bankrupt – Fast! Metaverse Cryptobitcoinmusk , Enjin also offers a unique Metaverse Crypto marketplace experience that can help users and businesses expand their markets using NFTs and QR codes, and connect with other users through websites, applications and games. Enjin Coin (ENJ) is an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency that backs the value of fungible and non-fungible tokens. Since the early days of the project, Metaverse has been seeing a large number of new features being added to the coin. The team is always working on adding new exchanges, so make sure to check back regularly to see if your favorite exchange has added Metaverse to its list. He recommended Dogecoin before it skyrocketed over 8,000%, Ripple before it flew up more than 480% and Cardano before it soared 460%. Now (cryptonews.com), in a new report, he's naming 17 of his favorite Reddit penny stocks. You should only invest in Metaverse if you are willing to wait for the price to go up over time. This means that Metaverse is very likely to grow in price over time as more and more people start using the network. Epik has over 300 gaming clients and licenses NFT collectibles and experiences to companies like Warner Music and Universal, according to CoinMarketCap, suggesting it's likely to bounce back after the slump of the last few months. It also gives them the freedom to sell their assets at any time they like and receive the funds immediately. Metaverse is a secure, decentralized platform that allows users the freedom to create digital assets, store data about these assets on its blockchain and then trade them. The Flow blockchain offers some other unique attributes, too, including smart contracts written in Cadence, a programming language that is safer and easier for crypto users to use. The third step was to create a system that would be able to leverage smart contracts and support decentralized applications. ETP allows users to create smart contracts and decentralized applications with ease. This means that users of Metaverse can "live" within a digital universe that is made up of multiple elements of technology, including virtual reality, augmented reality and video. Thanks to Hashgraph's robust technology, it can outperform many blockchain-based alternatives in numerous crucial aspects, including speed, cost and scalability. Metaverse exists in a digital universe that is made up of multiple elements of technology, including virtual reality, augmented reality and video. Living, working and playing in an alternate reality requires funding, and that means cryptocurrency. The first step in creating Metaverse was to develop a new blockchain that would be able to handle the transaction volume that is required for a successful cryptocurrency. This blockchain is called ETP and it stands for Ethereum Transaction Protocol. This protocol is called BIP and it acts as the foundation for other applications on the network. Metaverse was created in early 2017 by Eric Gu, who is also the founder of the Metaverse Foundation. If the metaverse does become a viable parallel world powered by cryptocurrency, both of those investments may have a real foundation for growth. Since Metaverse is a new cryptocurrency, you may be wondering how it compares to Bitcoin. Tezos seeks to provide more advanced infrastructure than Bitcoin and Ethereum, which means it may evolve and improve over time. You can think of Metaverse as the Ethereum version of Bitcoin. This means that it has a similar set of goals and the technology behind it is very close to that of Ethereum. Quant's Overledger is a "technologically agnostic" platform, according to Crypto News, which means its users don't have to work with a particular technology partner to use it. Not only can users buy virtual goods or services with these cryptocurrencies, but in some cases, they can also use their tokens to vote on policies or other regulations within the metaverse. MyEtherWallet is the most popular online wallet for ERC20 tokens, but you can use any other wallet as well. Another promising factor is that it has a limited coin supply of 3 billion tokens, of which 1.24 billion are in use. FLOKI is a dog-themed metaverse crypto coin named after Elon Musk's Shiba Inu. These perceptions matter. Though crypto is down across the board, prices for MANA token have outperformed Axie Infinity and the Sandbox by 6% and 10% respectively since I reviewed the three in January. With Axie Infinity (AXS) we depart from the layout of Decentraland and The Sandbox, and arrive at a full-blown Play-to-Earn (P2E) metaverse. However, the platform is constantly being upgraded to add new features and options, and Decentraland tokens have multiple uses. Metaverse uses ETP, which is a powerful blockchain that can handle high volumes of transactions. It uses terminal controllers to obtain various primitive energies in unfamiliar galaxies, and links "Metaverse" to Every human planet. Axie Infinity is a wildly popular play-to-earn game considered the highest revenue-generating game on the planet. Axie Infinity has more than a quarter of a million daily players.

At its simplest form, the term Metaverse refers to a future version of the internet that's hailed as Web 3.0. Matthew Ball, author and venture capitalist with vast knowledge on the topic, defines it as an "expansive network of real-time rendered 3D worlds and simulations, experienced synchronously by an unlimited number of users, each with an individual sense of presence". DAO: short for Decentralized Autonomous Organization, a DAO is an entity that's not controlled by the government, an institution, central bank, or any other form of leadership. Apps: short for decentralized applications, dApps are digital applications and programs that run on a blockchain network as opposed to being hosted on a centralized server. NFT: short for non-fungible token, an NFT is a unique unit of data that uses technology to log and authenticate digital content like videos, audio files, and images on a blockchain.

Metaverse: a virtual space where users can interact in digital environments. The Metaverse is shaping up to be a vast space that creates new applications and concepts every second. Decentraland was among the first ecosystems ever to introduce the concept of a blockchain-based virtual reality, and the advantages of early movers still favor this metaverse to this day. Custody: a concept of holding and guarding assets. Side note: public and private keys are kind of like two-part passwords used to unlock and access your crypto wallet assets. Distributed ledger: a digital system for recording the transactions of assets. Cryptocurrency: a digital peer-to-peer payment system where transactions are recorded in a public ledger. Developers have to pay this fee in the native crypto, ether, to the network to use the system. Developers have a wide range of tools and built-in support, while consumers have access to convenient, easy-to-use payment on-ramps.

Enjin recently launched the first-ever NFT parachain on Polkadot, making available over 100 games and apps. Smart contracts originated on the Ethereum platform, which also supports decentralized apps. Tezos is a blockchain network similar to Ethereum in that it is based on smart contracts. Gas: a transaction fee on the Ethereum blockchain. Once you're done filling in this information, simply hit "proceed to exchange" to start the transaction. Block: a record in the blockchain where information, like the most recent transactions, is stored and encrypted. Smart contracts: an agreement between two parties where the terms are coded into the blockchain. In an effort to foster more understanding, we compiled these terms and their definitions.

Ten years ago, holed up in a closet, hiding myself from the outside world; the mere thought of brightness was enough to make me want to stay there. Once in a while, the clicking of heels would tap themselves by the small slit of light that managed to creep under the door, and I thought of her. I could see her in those knee-high black boots, walking without a care in the world, and ready to attack anyone who would contradict her. That was the Devon Drake I'd known. That was the Devon Drake I'd wanted. That was not the Devon Drake who stabbed me in the back. Once she did that, for what was there a reason to fight? The longing had left my body, and everything became inconsequential. So what if I disappeared into the darkness, who was going to care? I spent most of my time in the darkest of night while the rest of the world slept anyway, and if my closest ally, friend, and lover betrayed me, what else was there? Slowly, that downtrodden mindset turned into one of fury, vengeance, and wrath. However, the prevailing desire that overrode them all was the notion of proving her wrong. Where one has betrayed you on the deepest level, nothing would make sweeter revenge than achieving the highest level of success to spite them. She knew it too. She knew it when she looked up that ramp and saw a blue fire walking toward her like a hired assassin. The pain was gone, the nightmares ended, but that desire remained in the pit of the damaged soul. As she had to pay the piper for all that she'd done, the steps toward the ultimate goal quickened. Enemies became obstacles, personal vendettas became meaningless stepping stones, and all that mattered was that shiny golden belt that had averted itself from my possession. While Devon stood next to the man who held it, my focus intensified. That belt was more than a goal; it was a symbol for all those who would care to doubt someone who was different. I'd spent my entire life overcoming the condescending jokes and pop cultural references that everyone had found so original. But if I could hold that championship… If that belt would drape across my shoulder, then they would have to answer for their false judgment. They would be forced to confront the fact that they were wrong, about me and about themselves. Now, I'd held the world championship in three different companies over the course of the last decade, even setting a record as the only three-time champion in Pure Class Wrestling history. That fire no longer burned, as Devon Drake hadn't been seen in a year. The championship belt was no longer a symbol against the judgment of humans because after winning 71 matches, what critic left was there? The AWA? They would learn like all the others had to. There was no one left to fight against, nobody to prove wrong, and nothing left to seek revenge against. At least in the wrestling world. Sean Rhodes was different, however. He'd be considered a legend in most any other company, but he chose to remain with Pure Class Wrestling. Despite having more matches than anyone else in the history of the federation, the one thing that had slipped his grasp was becoming the world champion. In seven years, the title and shots at winning it eluded him like a dandelion in the wind. Seven years to build that fire, that rage, and seek that symbol against the judgment with which he'd had to live through the prime of his wrestling career. He had every right to be a douchebag, but he wasn't. He had every right to attack me, to take advantage of the injured shoulder, but he didn't. He could've walked away many times, but chose to be a crutch or an ally when the tides were turned. This forced me into a conundrum from which I could not escape. How exactly was I supposed to fight this man? How was I supposed to unleash the famous wrath of the Elven Warrior on one of the few worthy humans in this world? Against Joey Cranston, there was the vengeance against Devon Drake and Joey's deceit. Against Ace Anderson, there was the long fight against the hotheaded prick that Ace had been. In Grimm, there was the challenge of overcoming the most dangerous force in PCW history. LoKi had been the betrayal of alliances. All of my most famous adversaries had done something to enrage the elf within. Now, when I'm distracted, injured, and could be ready to fight for the world's survival at any moment, I'm pitted against a good, righteous human being? What was one to do for motivation? His fire was lit hotter than ever, and what did I have on the line? If I won, what did I prove? That I was still the three-time world champion and could overcome a shoulder injury against a man I'd defeated years ago? That I could get my 72nd win? That I could excel in Pay-Per-View main events? What would Sean Rhodes have to prove? Simple answer: Everything. In the eyes of the PCW faithful, Rhodes was a man to be admired, but not immortalized. He was a man with a long history, but had yet to reach the pinnacle. Everyone knew he was good, perhaps even great with over 60 wins, but the championship was what everyone was waiting to see. Could he achieve the unattainable? Could he win the big one, or would he falter when it meant the most? Could he carry a company? Could his face represent Pure Class Wrestling? Could he defeat a Hall-of-Famer, arguably the most successful wrestler in the history of PCW? All of that was festering in his soul, and he still managed to be a decent man. Knowing full well that I could be put out possibly for good with just a simple twist of the shoulder after he'd already defeated me, consequential or not… And he chose to be a crutch. Why? Respect? Admiration? The desire to defeat the best without being a sandbagging son of a bitch? Saving the worst for when it mattered? All of these things, along with the fact that I couldn't move my shoulder without searing pain, gave him the distinct advantage, and I think he even knew it. No good man could lose an opportunity for which he'd fought seven years. I would never expect one to. Once that bell rings and the championship is on the line, he is a professional wrestler. He's doing his job and nobody could blame him for using everything to his advantage in the main event of Return to Glory; a place where I'd made plenty of glory myself in years past. That is what a wrestler is supposed to do. That is what a man is supposed to do. That is what a champion is supposed to do. I attempted gripping my sword with both hands, and I couldn't. Crying out as the sword clanged against the concrete floor, I massaged my shoulder the best I could. Looking at myself in the locker room mirror as a single tear stained my cheek, I knew this could be it. What good would I be to anyone if I completely tore my shoulder apart? What kind of legacy would I leave if the last memory anyone had of me in that ring was of the supposed Warrior clinging to his shoulder and screaming? Not only that, but what kind of detriment would that be to Sean Rhodes' title reign? I'd like to think that I've built a fine reputation for myself, not only as a champion, but as a species representative and competitor in the eyes of all the PCW fans. If Sean Rhodes ended my career, or even put me out of action, what would the crowd do? The man did not deserve that. It wasn't his fault that my arm got tangled in those ropes all those weeks ago and was only getting worse. If he did manage to achieve this victory, he deserved his moment, not scorn for damaging a legend. "You're just making my job easier, aren't you?" That voice. Had the time come? Of course, it would make the most sense to do it now. I shot to the ground and attempted to grab the blade, but a boot stepped on it. The other boot stepped right into my shoulder, and I screamed in pain. Forced to my back, the sword handle digging into my ribs, two red eyes peered into my soul. A firm hand grasped my jaw, clenching as hard as it could. "I could destroy you right now and no one would even know," he threatened. "Everything you've ever held dear could disappear in an instant, and you could have all the memories you wanted in the plane where I will send you permanently." Tomas threw my head into the ground, and I felt dazed. The room started spinning, and I was seeing six eyes now. The swelling in my shoulder from the boot was throbbing worse than ever. "This is it," I thought to myself. "This is the moment of eternity." As I expected a blade to pierce my skin, instead there arose such a clatter. A ruckus ensued, as it sounded of a struggle between Tomas and someone else. "Who are you? What do you want?" "All answers in good time, you insolent cretin. For now, let's just say I'm everything you fear when you're at your worst." I could make out the figure of someone else diving toward Tomas again, but he disappeared. Someone frantically searched around for a few seconds, and I could no longer keep my head up. "Lantlas! Wake up, Lantlas!" a voice called out to me as a hand lifted my head gently. I tried opening my eyes, but I couldn't. All I saw was blackness. I heard the dialing of a phone. "It's Nacho. You need to get here now." Nacho? He'd stood up to Tomas? "We need help in here!" I heard him scream. There were good humans here. The class was still alive. But I knew, sooner than later, I'd have to protect Nacho from the wrath he'd incur. Hey, maybe that's for what I could fight. Would I be allowed to fight? That was the last thing I could remember. The darkness overtook my consciousness. The author would like to thank you for your continued support. Your review has been posted.

Merger partners Comcast Corp. and Time Warner Cable Inc. are two of America's least favorite cable companies, according to a new survey from Consumer Reports. The cable giants showed up near the bottom of the magazine's rankings in a survey of 81,848 users of television, Internet and phone plans, the magazine is reporting Tuesday. In the survey, whose results aren't directly comparable with previous versions, subscribers gave the companies low marks for customer support and for value. "Everything else in consumer technology is getting more affordable every year — everything except communications services," said Glenn Derene, electronics editor and the lead author of the Consumer Reports story. Susan Leepson, a Time Warner Cable spokeswoman, and John Demming, a Comcast spokesman, didn't immediately respond to messages seeking comment. The Consumer Reports cover story, published Tuesday shows just how much the pay-TV industry has infiltrated customers' wallets. Bloomberg News

Pick Your Partners Why business partnerships go bad A company with a good product or service – even a great one – can rarely overcome business partners at war. You could even have that proverbial business with the "better mousetrap." But if you and your partners are slashing at each other's throats, your business is likely a goner. Running a business with the right ownership team is critical to your long-term success. And teaming up with the wrong partner is an invitation to disaster. Marriage vs. One-Night Stand:First and foremost, pick your partners for the long haul. Each partner needs to make a continuing, valuable contribution to the business. Otherwise, resentment builds up between those who are carrying their weight and others who aren't. Sometimes business people team up with someone for a long-term venture based primarily on a short-term need. For example, they might partner with a software programmer to satisfy an immediate need – such as creating software or a website that is critical to launching the business. After the initial, albeit vital, need passes, you have one partner who potentially is sharing in the benefits, but not the workload, of the business. Instead of getting "married," the company should have hired the programmer on a short-term basis. Share the Work; Share the Wealth:In a particularly disastrous case, one partner put up substantial start-up cash. The second partner had the skills and performed the day-to-day management and production. Both agreed to a 50-50 split of the business because neither could start nor succeed in this business without the other. However, despite discussing this very issue from the outset, the working partner steadily grew more resentful of the money partner. Soon, the working partner started stealing from what was otherwise a successful business and bankrupted the company. Know Thy Partner:Do your due diligence. All too often, partners ultimately discover things about each other that they should have known before they went into business – info that would have stopped them from ever teaming up in the first place. Imagine the sinking feeling of the partner who found out that another owner was broke and had been using company cash to pay personal bills. That incident killed the trust among the partners, and the insolvent owner's ongoing lack of funds created constant friction. Eventually the partners ended up in litigation. You Get What You See: Don't count on people changing. Ninety-nine out of 100 people never really change, and the 100th person probably won't either. You get what you see – so keep your eyes open. Despite that fact, one company founder picked two partners who he hoped would mature into responsible contributors to what could have been a very successful business. No such luck. The duo was deadweight. They stayed lazy, misguided and petulant throughout the company's various struggles. The founder finally had to shut down the business. Don't confuse hopes with facts. Control Freaks:Watch out when too many people want control. Look in the mirror. If you can't share power, don't go into business with people who want it, too. If you're a "control freak," team up with people who are happy to just do their jobs and don't need to be in charge. One business had multiple controlling partners who were constantly paralyzed by debates over every decision. They could hardly change the toilet paper without bringing in United Nations mediators to referee the debate. Needless to say, the partners never addressed the truly significant problems facing the business – and it repeatedly drove away talented staff. Shared Goals: No one partner should be able to succeed when others are failing. For example, some businesses are formed with the understanding that one owner will earn special fees, such as a management fee. In good times, these special fees may not be a big problem. But what happens when times are tough and the business is losing money? Similarly, some people want money in their pockets right away and others want to plow profits back into the business to maintain "rainy day" reserves. Discuss all of these issues in advance. Sometimes, these discussions produce compromises. Other times, they reveal true incompatibility. Reporting and Accountability:President Reagan said, "Trust, but verify." I say, "Verify." Every business should have a reporting system that lets all of the partners monitor each other's major tasks. It helps nip problems in the bud. If no one is watching, people are more likely to stray, perform poorly or, worse, cheat their partners. Successful Partnerships Aside from these clear "don'ts," there are some reliable "dos" that contribute to successful partnerships: Complementary Skills:Companies are more likely to succeed when many of the partners have different skills and each appreciates the skills that other owners bring to the table. It fosters both appreciation and a healthy dependency on each other. Power Allocation:There is no fighting over power. Either the partners are good at sharing power, or one person is clearly in charge. Surprisingly, the benevolent dictator model – where one partner is in charge but has the good sense to use power wisely – is often extremely successful. Integrity and Trust: When one partner acts, the reaction of the other partners should be support – not second-guessing. Leave Room for Growth:When establishing your company, discuss the expectation that you may need additional partners down the road that bring additional skills as you get bigger. This may mean you reserve ownership interests in the company for future partners. Have a Pre-Nup: Draft an agreement among the owners that says what happens in a variety of situations, including when and if things go bad. Don't wait for problems and then make lawyers rich in a costly battle. This pre-nup – often referred to as a Buy-Sell Agreement – minimizes the damage that can be caused by a bad partnership. Remarkably, in the process of creating the pre-nup, partners often learn a lot about their compatibility. They learn how each other thinks and what they expect from the business. Some people halt the entire process – saving a small fortune and countless hours of frustration – when the process reveals a mismatch. Business is tough, as recent history has proven once again. It's much too tough to be fighting with your partners. Pick well.

Perfect for the black turtlenecks and heavy coats of winter this vintage Mexican Deco silver and turquoise bird of paradise brooch is a stupendous work of art! Not only does its sheer size stun the eye, its layered sculpturality and curvaceous repoussage invites the touch and allows the light to play a thousand tricks hiding in its recesses and reflecting off its elevations. I was always a big fan of brooches and my focus on Mexican jewelry has rewarded me a myriad times over the years with amazing examples of the form. Before I let you enjoy the photos, let me just point out the voluptuous body of the repousse flowers and the splashes of blue and green that the stones present against the warm glow of the silver. Measuring 5 3/4" tall by 2 5/8" wide the brooch weighs 36.8 grams and is simply marked "SILVER" and "MADE IN MEXICO". It dates in the pre-1948 period and is in very good vintage condition with breath-taking size, beautiful, confident repoussage and gorgeous patina; no damage and no repairs noted but I would like to mention a small opening in the silver-work right at the point where the bird's neck meets the uppermost wing - it is not easy to spot with a naked eye, most probably a result of the piece's crafting process and such a testimony to the story of its creation.

Description Though small, the Laufersweiler Jewish community had its own mikveh, cemetery, charitable society and women's association, and a school for religious studies – whose teacher also performed the duties of chazzan and shochet. Most Jews left Laufersweiler before 1940. In 1942, seven were deported to the East and 10 to Theresienstadt. At least 37 Laufersweiler Jews perished in the Shoah.

Big Pharma Buries Us in Ads It is not a secret that Big Pharma inundates us with numerous advertisements for their drugs. Anyone who watches television can attest to the massive amounts of drug commercials that run. The reason they run these ads is because they work! The marketing for Big Pharma drugs used to be focused on the health care practitioners (physicians). But there has been a shift because today, pharmaceutical companies now spend many billions of dollars on marketing drugs to patients directly through television ads and other media. The Direct To Consumer marketing has increased by over 500% during the period from 1996 to 2004. The short story is that pharmaceutical companies spend many billions to influence how we think about drugs and health. The commercials are always presented with lifestyle images and emotional themes. They are very seductive and subtle. They then associate the drug they are promoting with these images. They then encourage people to 'Ask Your Doctor' about the drug being featured. It is reported that many people do ask their doctors for drugs they have seen in these commercials. Many doctors say that patients often do not even know the purpose of the drug about which they are inquiring! This is very disturbing because the positives of the drugs are pushed while the side effects are purposely minimized. The images are so powerful that the list of side effects that are read at the end of the commercial are nothing more than an afterthought. This constant barrage of advertisements about drugs condition viewers to see pharmaceutical drugs as a healthy part of life. But the truth is that pharmaceutical drugs are not the way to health. Adverse drug reactions cause approximately 100,000 deaths and 1.5 million hospitalizations per year. And Big Pharma companies actually try to say that their ads are educational for viewers! That is a total lie! The goal of these companies is to sell their drugs. They do not spend billions of dollars to educate people. They spend the advertising money to get a return on these investments. If these ads didn't sell more drugs, they would not pay for them. This article is not directly related to cancer, but it is just more information to allow you to understand how the medical system functions. Although pharmaceutical companies are not directly a part of the medical infrastructure, they are one of the biggest parts of the medical system. They influence the regulators, and have many associations with the major medical institutions. In many cases, a lot of the government officials have been a part of the pharmaceutical companies. There is a lot of interplay and relations between the top administrators of government and these corporations. Don't be a profit center for these people without being knowledgeable about these industry dynamics.

The Battle of Kobryn was a battle that took place on 27 July 1812 between the Russian and Saxon forces in the city of Kobryn at the initial stage of French invasion of Russia. The battle was the first major victory of Russian forces in the Patriotic War of 1812. Contents On 24 June 1812 Napoleon invaded the Russian Empire on a broad front from Brest to the Baltic sea in the north. The main French forces crossed the Neman in Lithuania and acted against the 1st and 2nd Russian armies stationed there. 33,000-strong Austrian corps of Schwarzenberg crossed the Bug River in the south, who moved troops to Russian Empire due to alliance between Austrian Empire and Napoleon. Austria was compelled to participate in the French invasion of Russia as a French vassal, but gave its commander Schwarzenberg tacit instructions not to be zealous and not to move far from the borders. Schwarzenberg was opposed by the 3rd Observational Army of Russian General of the Cavalry Tormasov, whose strength varies greatly in different documents. Historians count that Tormasov's army had 45,000 men, Clausewitz determines its number at 35,000 men, and Prince Vyazemsky (commander of the 15th Division as part of the Third Army) in his notes mentions about 25,000 combatants in the Third Army, 160 guns and garrisons placed in territories of modern-day Belarus and the north-west Ukraine, which probably also belonged to the Third Army. The Observational Army guarded the borders of the Russian Empire from Austria and the Duchy of Warsaw in modern territories of the south of Belarus and the north-west of Ukraine. With the outbreak of the war, the Austrians covered the right flank of Napoleon from the Russian Third Army, stationing the border garrisons along Brest—Kobryn—Pinsk line with a length of 170 kilometers. Initially, the case was limited to maneuvers, the Russians and Austrians watched each other without entering into fights. On 17 July, Tormasov received orders from War Minister Barclay de Tolly to act on the right flank of the French army, wedged into Russian territory by a deep wedge. The order successfully coincided with the rearrangement of troops in the enemy camp. Napoleon recalled the Austrians to the main direction, instead of them sending the Reynier's 7th Saxon corps (17,000 men). Napoleon mistakenly underestimated the strength of the Third Army, believing that the corps of Reynier could hold back the Russians before Chichagov's Danube Army will arrive to Tormasov from Moldova. The original plan of Napoleon meant a lightning campaign. It was planned to destroy the Western Russian armies in a general battle and force the tsar to ask for peace. Tormasov attacked at a time when the Austrians withdrew their troops, and the Saxons have not yet taken a fully defensive line. According to the plan, the first goal was to capture Brest, and then Kobryn. Tormasov selected 5 cavalry regiments (mostly dragoons) to protect the borders of Russian Empire from the Duchy of Warsaw, that was allied to Napoleon. Then he pulled the available forces to Kovel, dividing the army into 5 parts: The detachment of Lieutenant General Sacken covered the rear, staying in Lutsk. The main forces (3 cavalry and 11 infantry regiments) under the command of Tormasov moved to Kobryn along the southern road. The detachment of Major General Lambert, consisting of two Jaegers and two cavalry regiments, was sent to Brest. The detachment of Major General Scherbatov, consisting of two cavalry regiments, was sent to Brest from another direction. Lambert and Scherbatov's detachments after the occupation of Brest had to attack Kobryn from the west. The detachment of Major General Melissino (1 cavalry regiment and about an infantry battalion) was sent to Pinsk to demonstrate activity and to deceive Reynier about Tormasov's intentions. On 24 July, General Scherbatov occupied Brest, knocking out 2 enemy squadrons from the corps of Reynier. At the same time General Melissino on 25 July beat out group of Saxons from Pinsk in 170 kilometers from Brest. Reynier with the main forces was near Yanov, approximately in the middle between Kobryn and Pinsk, in a condition of some confusion, unable to determine the direction of the main blow of the Russians and their strength. On 27 July, the main Russian forces (up to 18,000 soldiers, 130 guns) approached Kobryn. Tormasov came from the south, and the detachments of Lambert and Scherbatov came from the west. Kobryn was a small town with a population of about 2 thousand inhabitants in the south-west of modern Belarus, on the Mukhavets River (an eastern tributary of the Bug River). Memorial plaque on the monument of the victory of Russian troops in Kobryn Kobryn was occupied by a 5,000-strong Saxon brigade commanded by Major General Klengel from the 22nd Infantry Division of the Reynier corps. Saxons expected Russians from Brest and took a position 2 kilometers from the city, placing the cavalry on the road, and the riflemen along the road. From the south, Saxons settled in the manor houses on the outskirts, blocking the entrance to the Tormasov's vanguard. Lambert in the west early in the morning attacked the enemy with the forces of irregular cavalry, trying to entice the Saxons into the open field. Tormasov ordered General Chaplits to bypass Kobryn from the east with the vanguard, leaving a little cavalry to block the soldiers of Klengel, who had settled in the buildings on the southern outskirts. Lambert managed to bring down the Saxons' cover from the road, but they were entrenched in urban buildings, barring the way to the city from the west. When Chaplits broke with the 13th Jaeger Regiment in Kobryn from the east, Lambert sent two regiments of irregular cavalry to the northern road to the Pruzhany to cut off the Saxons' escape routes. Thus the brigade of Klengel was completely surrounded. The Saxons tried to bring down the Russian cover from the road to the Pruzhany, but were pushed back to Kobryn. Meanwhile, at 9 o'clock in the morning, the main forces of the Russians came to Kobryn. Tormasov sent two more infantry regiments to Kobryn, the remaining regiments surrounded the town with a dense ring. In the town of wooden buildings Saxons had nowhere to gain a foothold. The Russian artillery easily shot any position, the city burned. Out of 630 city buildings, only 79 survived after the battle. Prince Vyazemsky wrote the impressions of the battle in the diary the next day: All in flame, wives, girls in only shirts, children, all fleeing and seeking salvation; the battle in the fire, the rapid movement of troops, scattered enemy transporters, roaring and running cattle through the field, the dust eclipsed the sun, horror everywhere. By noon the battle was over, the surviving Saxons led by General Klengel were driven into the half-ruined Kobryn castles (part of the gift of Catherine II to count Alexander Suvorov) and surrendered. According to the report of Tormasov, up to 2,000 Saxons were killed, 2 generals were captured, including Klengel himself, 76 officers and 2,382 lower ranks, 2 battalion banners, 2 standards and 8 guns were captured. The losses of the Russian army amounted to 77 people killed and 181 wounded. Two banners were captured in battle, the banner of the 1st battalion of the Saxon Royal Infantry Regiment (later known as the Saxon Leib Grenadier Regiment No. 100) and the banner of the Saxon Infantry Regiment of Nizemeisel, that was later dissolved. Both were kept in the Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg. Also there was stored one of the banners of the Ulan Regiment of General Clement. On the day of the defeat of the Saxon brigade in Kobryn in the main direction, the 1st Russian army retreated from Napoleon forces to Smolensk after heavy rearguard battles near Vitebsk. Reynier didn't reach 25 kilometers to Kobryn. Upon learning of the defeat of his brigade, he began to retreat north to Slonim, pursued by the detachments of Tormasov. Schwarzenberg with the consent of Napoleon turned to the help the 7th Corps of Reynier. Thus Tormasov's army pulled on itself a powerful Schwarzenberg's forces, weakened the French troops in the Moscow direction. On 12 August the combined forces of Schwarzenberg and Reynier attacked under Gorodechno (slightly north of Kobryn) Tormasov's forces estimated by Prince Vyazemsky of 16,000 soldiers. The Russians lost up to 1,200 soldiers and by September retreated south to Lutsk, fortifying themselves on the eastern bank of the Styr River. With the approach in mid-September 1812 of the Chichagov's Danube army Tormasov gained superiority over the Schwarzenberg and on 23 September went on the offensive.

The sun rises next to the Statue of Liberty during an annular eclipse on June 10, 2021, in New York City. Gary Hershorn/Getty Images An annular eclipse is a rare form of total solar eclipse, in which the moon is at its farthest point from Earth when it moves to block the view of the sun from the Earth. This makes the moon appear too small to fully block out the sun. Instead, it allows a ring of solar light to shine around it. That light creates the dramatic ring of fire effect. Story continues below advertisement Several observatories captured incredible photos and videos of the rare event, while many photographers also shared their own footage of the eclipse online. An annular solar eclipse rises over construction cranes and the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Thursday, June 10, 2021. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick Thursday's solar eclipse was the most spectacular and easy-to-watch event on the calendar for 2021. One more total solar eclipse is expected in December, though it will only be fully visible in Antarctica.

I love how people keep screaming, crying, bitching, moaning for a #2 WR and when we get one some of those people turn around piss and moan, scream, cry, bitch and say we gave up too much! So either you want a #2 WR or you don't. Can't have it both ways hypocrites.

I get brown clumps in my pad when I get my period, and they freak me out! What are they, and does it mean something's wrong? There's nothing like some brown clumps to remind you that periods are kinda, well, icky! But fortunately, those brown clumps are also perfectly healthy. Phew! Basically, when a girl's menstrual flow is fast, it's red. But when it slows down, it becomes brown due to exposure to the air. Plus, periods are all about your uterus cleaning itself out, so you're also shedding the lining of your uterus. That means clumps and clots are not only OK, they're expected

SF actually charge you more (1.0 out of 5 stars) by TorontoAutoInsuranceForAged25Feb 20, 2018 ...SF actually charge you more for same auto insurance than its counterparts. When I found a cheaper alternative, SF agent told me that my cancellation charges would be around $250 (which I said okay). But when I actually called to cancel it, they told me it's gonna be $350. They increase the cancellation fee when you do it. Otherwise they just try to keep you in their loop till you actually cancel it, then they squeeze as much cancellation fee from you as they can. Pretty bad experience with StateFarm (they are the bullies of auto insurance industry in Ontario). Stop taking policy from StateFarm, make them run out of business and that's what I will do and make my friends and family do as well... Tina and Jessica ...Very great customer service and good for first time drivers. I would recommend for anyone willing to get first time insurance... 0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

When I split a shipment in V3 it does not give me the option to assign a new name to the new shipment, it only uses the original order number. The problem is that our warehouse requires a unique order number when pulling in orders. Using V2 I could simply name the split order -1 and the warehouse could pull in the original and the -1 order. I seem to have no way to do this in V3. Please help as this will be a major headache if I can't assign a new name to a split order. Well, you beat me to the punch! I just did my first split shipment in V3 tonight and what a mess. Firstly, even though I created 4 shipments/labels, it only printed 1, and acted as though that was the only label to create. Voided it, created it again in the same manner, and then it printed all 4 labels. But, there was absolutely no way to assign a new name to each shipment. This is how we have always indicated the box contents. Now, if a customer asks what was in a particular box, I can't even being to tell them unless I make separate notes. I am hoping that I just missed where this can be done, but I'm not holding my breath. V3 just keeps getting better and better... 🙄 I batch print orders in counts of 14. How do I print the awaiting shipment invoice without the on-hold invoice? At the moment On Hold as well as Awaiting Shipment invoices print, this is so confusing for my pickers as well as anyone assigned to printing orders. On Hold invoices are products out of stock and do not need to be printed unless they move to Awaiting Shipment, and this will only happen when the product is replenished. Am I missing something? I asked for this 2 years ago and still not available, Now we are being forced to upgrade. This lack of functionality completely kills my Quickbooks integrations. I currently have a ticket open with no response for a week. Not happy right now. This is what I sent to chat: SPLIT ORDER function is not good. In the past, when you split an order for order number 1000 for example, the default new order number would be 1000-1. Or I can customize it to a completely new name. Now when you split the order, it assigns it the exact same order number with no way to customize the new order number. This is VERY confusing. Thank Goodness others have this issue. But I'm losing faith that ShipStation cares or realizes how bad this is. Even if they left V3 to default splits to the same order number, at least have a field like in V2 that allows users to change it to -1, -2, .... like we can now. ShipStation, why would you remove functionality and force duplicate order numbers that will break so many other systems? Please, please ShipStation, pay attention to the seriousness of this thread and allow V3 users to overwrite the split order number to a different order number (e.g., 1234, 1234-1, 1234-2, .... ) instead of forcing all split order numbers to be the same. I've brought this up in feedback, the forum, user group events, and now here again. V2 apparently goes away next year and if they don't change this we will have to stop using ShipStation. Shipstation - can you please let us know if you have any plans to address this? I admit there is a lot of inertia that is keeping me (and everyone else still here, I assume) at Shipstation. If you plan to fix these issues I'm sure we'll stick around. But it seems like the plan is to ignore these issues and I'd like to know if that's the case so I can look for a different option with a clear conscience. Shipstation- please fix this! Your platform is basically unusable now as we are a wholesale company that ships large orders. We split often. This is ruining every integration and impacting our automated warehouse severely. Now we have different order numbers across platforms because our other systems are trying to make up for the fact that different orders share the same number. It's a mess. This should not be a feature that can just go away. It's crucial for warehouse and order management. Disappointing to see other comments already, some a month old, and no movement on this. ShipStation, when are you going to reply to users regarding this issue? There's at least 4 different threads across the forum pleading for help on this same issue. You must realize how bad duplicate order numbers are right, you understand that this breaks most 3PL, financial, .. systems right? Users must provide the ability to have different order numbers for split orders like v2.

A Galt, CA police officer came into Stuckeys bar labor day weekend 2013 (Saturday) at midnight, stood at the end the of bar and looked at us for about 10 minutes. There were 5 of us sitting at the bar and maybe 5 people by the pool table, for a total of 10 people in the place. Then, he and another officer parked their patrol cars out front for 30 minutes. They also harassed people who WALKED to and FROM the bar, asking for their names and IDs, claiming they were looking for outstanding warrants. You know they probably ran license plates too! Beware….Lodi, CA police park down from bars too and wait for you. The Lodi police have competitions for who can get the most DUIs, legally or NOT legally. Lodi cops were forcing people to take blood tests and falsifying documents! Too bad they can't force people anymore. I'm sure they will think of something corrupt to replace itLicensed premises (or tavern) checks are common and I'm willing to bet a month's pay that's exactly what these officers were doing. When the premises is checked (for liquor licenses) everyone in the bar is commonly checked as well. steve: What did any of us say that was wrong? What did the Lodi officers do that was wrong? The bat is open to the public….they can go in all they want. Where I have denounced the ramblings of 123, and even asked why you guys pay any attention to him….you guys never seem to call out the authors of these nonsense articles. " Drunks driver endanger everyone. No holds barred on getting them of the streets." Dangerous attitude that invites tossing rights aside in order to get results. End justify the means attitude easily gets out of control. Still, I see no issue with looking inside for likely problems. Like say they guy with a shinny piece of tin and handcuffs. He might want to press the issue with a woman who refuses. And slappy might have an underage goat he's liquering up. He was charged by the local PD, not his own. His own wanted to excuse and defend them, but eventually gave up. Kudos to the locals that ignored the Blue Line. @JQP One, I don't drink at all. Friends make jokes about what I'd be like if I drank or drugged, because I live clean. I see alcohol as having one use. To get two strangers desperately looking for a used condom. There is a big difference between being pro drunk, and wanting to reign in LE that sees no limits to their tactics. What is it with you guys? You only see one extreme or the other? You either say cops can do anything they want, or criminals can do anything they want? Are you that blind stupid? Oh, and didn't I say I don't really see an issue with cops looking inside for likely trouble makers? I just see a big issue with an anything and everything view on how to solve crime problems. That is a police state mentality Shawn, if you think you can do better, join the police or better yet, run for office where you can have input into the decision making process. The thing is, if these guys know the cops are waiting outside for them to drive drunk, then it probably would be a good idea to call a taxi or a non-drinking person like yourself to give them a ride home. Its not rocket science.
