Michelle Obama used in vitro fertilization (IVF) to conceive her two daughters after suffering a miscarriage.
Ahead of the release of her new memoir Becoming, the former U.S. First Lady has participated in an interview with Good Morning America's Robin Roberts, with a preview of the candid chat airing in the U.S. on Friday morning (09Nov18).
During the interview, Michelle made the admission that she had a miscarriage 20 years ago and felt "lost and alone" at the time.
"I felt like I failed because I didn't know how common miscarriages were because we don't talk about them," she said. "We sit in our own pain, thinking that somehow we're broken… That's one of the reasons why I think it's important to talk to young mothers about the fact that miscarriages happen."
Michelle, who worked as a lawyer and university administrator before her husband Barack Obama became America's President in 2009, added that she realized at the age of 34 that "the biological clock is real" and "egg production is limited". Accordingly, she underwent IVF to conceive Malia, 20, and Sasha, 17.
"I realized that as I was 34 and 35… We had to do IVF," the 54-year-old commented, adding that she hopes that her story will help other women undergoing fertility treatments. "I think it's the worst thing that we do to each other as women, not share the truth about our bodies and how they work."
In her wide-ranging book, Michelle opens up about her childhood in the South Side of Chicago, motherhood, becoming the first African-American woman to serve as First Lady and the demands of living at the White House. She also shares how she met Barack at a law firm, the early days of their romance, as well as how they have sought marriage counselling at times.
"Marriage counselling for us was one of those ways where we learned how to talk out our differences," she told Roberts. "I know too many young couples who struggle and think that somehow there's something wrong with them. And I want them to know that Michelle and Barack Obama, who have a phenomenal marriage and who love each other, we work on our marriage. And we get help with our marriage when we need it."
Becoming Michelle: A First Lady's Journey with Robin Roberts will air as part of an ABC News special on Sunday, ahead of Michelle's book release on Tuesday.

Choosing the Right Treatment for Thread Vein Removal in Belfast
Although generally harmless, thread-thin discolorations, thread veins are not pretty. They detract from smooth, clear skin and they look like bruising under the skin. Thread veins appear as red, blue, or purple thread-like veins and they can develop on any part of the body. The condition is associated with increased pressure on the veins, and so they often develop on the legs where legs are crossed, for example. For thread vein removal in Belfast, you should rely on a professional centre that employs medically trained skincare experts.read more

If you're a pop lover who perused Instagram at any point yesterday (January 18), there's a decent chance you saw a certain photo that caused heart palpitations the world over upon its posting. I'm talking, of course, about Dua Lipa's heavenly selfie with Ariana Grande.
That's right — the "New Rules" singer apparently had a casual mid-week hangout with Ariana and blessed fans with hard evidence. Behold: two pop princesses puckering up for the camera with halos over their heads and wings at their sides.
Disappointingly, Dua kept the caption simple by adding a single pink heart emoji, which, yes, is cute, but doesn't give us ANY INFORMATION WHATSOEVER about what these two were up to! So, in an attempt to contextualize this picture-perfect hang, here are five likely (ish) scenarios that could've brought Ari and Dua together.
A collab for #AG4!
We know that Ariana is hard at work on her fourth album. It'll be the follow-up to 2016's Dangerous Woman, which boasted collaborations with Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Future, and Macy Gray. Since Ari's projects tend to be feature-heavy, is it possible she recruited Dua for a special duet? Seems like a definite possibility, especially after some eagle-eyed fans noticed that Dua was recently followed on Instagram by songwriters Savan Kotecha and Ilya Salmanzadeh, who worked with Ari on "Love Me Harder" and "Side to Side."
A collab for #DL2!
Dua, meanwhile, has said she's also writing and recording new music for her sophomore album. She's already given us a taste of what's to come with "IDGAF," and an Ari collaboration would certainly seem at home on her typically bold, empowered, poppy material. Plus, Dua said last year that working with Ariana would be a dream come true. She told Z100, "I love Ariana Grande. She's amazing. It's unbelievable. It's like 'How does that [voice] come out of you? Where is it?' I'd love to work with her."
They're planning for the NME Awards
Both popstars were recently nominated for the VO5 NME Awards, which will hit London on February 14. Dua's up for Best Track, Best Video, and Best British Solo Artist, while Ariana earned a Hero of the Year nomination honoring her actions in the wake of the attack in Manchester last year. Could they be plotting a joint performance or appearance together? Or maybe they were just comparing style notes about what to wear on the red carpet? The awards show is on Valentine's Day, so here's hoping they wear matching red and pink ensembles.
They were plotting something for Mac Miller's birthday
Ariana's boyfriend's birthday is today (January 19), and maybe she called on her pal Dua to help her plan a raging surprise party. After all, Dua's sense of style is practically unparalleled, and if she can coordinate squad-heavy music videos as impeccably as she can plan parties, then she'd certainly be the one (be the one!) to call.
They were dreaming up a festival takeover
Dua was once asked by Glamour about her dream lineup for an all-women festival, and while she didn't mention Ariana by name, she insinuated that a female-only festival is indeed a dope idea. Considering the growing frustration over male-dominated festival lineups (as pointed out recently by Halsey and Ellie Goulding), could Ari and Dua be taking matters into their own hands? It's a far stretch, I'll admit, but a dream scenario nonetheless.
So, after all of that, the most likely scenario seems to be an actual musical collaboration. Here's hoping that's the case! Until we find out for sure, let this fan-made "New Rules"/"Into You" mashup fuel your collab dreams.

I am very proud of myself this week – I cooked and successfully ate liver! I can honestly say that this is the first piece of offal I have ever eaten (apart from Andouillette sausages, but the less said about them the better!). Although I've been eating meat for a good few years now, and am normally quite adventurous with it, there was something about offal that was putting me off. It's almost getting the essence of an animal, eating its liver, isn't it?
It's because of this that I would definitely only buy a free range liver (the animal that is, it's not a wandering womb!), as I'm pretty sure a liver from an antibiotic-pumped, intensively reared animal would be pretty full of toxins and not something I'd like to eat. So I went for a nice fresh lamb's liver (which was humongous actually).
I was in a bit of a rush yesterday so didn't have much time to think of what to do with my newly acquired liver. But luckily we keep a jar of amazing Yasai Soba dressing in the fridge (from this Wagamama's recipe) which I thought would go brilliantly with the liver, as something to cut through its, ummm, unique texture. Liver was definitely one of those things that you need to try at least three times, but I persevered and would eat it again. And i'm sure all that yummy iron is doing me a world of good.
Yasai Soba Liver – Serves 3
- Half of a fresh lamb's liver
- Flour
- Chilli Powder
- Yasai Soba Dressing
- A shot of sherry
- 2 peppers
- 1 onion
Slice the liver into 1cm slices and coat in the flour seasoned with half a tsp of chilli powder. Fry in a medium pan with a tbsp of the dressing for about 5 mins. The liver should be still just pink in the middle. Don't worry about the blood which will still be bubbling on it's surface as this will sink back in. Leave to rest on a warm plate.
Meanwhile, fry the onion and the pepper with another couple of spoons of the dressing. Serve with noodles or rice.
My sister, who is a vegan, was staying with us so she had some smoked almond tofu. The texture was surprisingly similar to the liver actually, and I did have a slice, to nibble on between bites of the liver until I got used to it!
So if you've never cooked liver before, I would recommend this recipe as a good place to start, especially if the idea of the traditional liver, gravy and onions is a bit much to face. The spicy sauce helps to lift the strong liver flavour and the crunch of the pepper is a good foil to the texture. I will definitely be trying it again.
Also this week: Work, work, work 😦 Christmas shopping with my mum 🙂 and a yummy trip to my fave Cambridge deli Limoncello to plan my Christmas hampers. Ax

Azerbaijan has favorable conditions for the further development of tourism. The socio-economic progress has created new opportunities for the comprehensive development of this sphere in the country.
Florian Sengstschmid, Executive Director of Azerbaijan Tourism Board, has told Indian media that Azerbaijan expects the number of Indian tourists to increase by 63 percent and to reach 65,000 people in 2019.
He said that during the period from January to July this year, 33,000 Indian tourists visited Azerbaijan. In 2018, the number of Indian tourist who came to Azerbaijan was 40,000 people.
Presently, roadshows are held in three Indian cities – Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai – to promote Azerbaijan as a tourist destination.
In 2018 the number of Indian tourists in Azerbaijan increased by 175 percent. In February 2018, a memorandum of cooperation was signed by Azerbaijan Tourism Board and Travel Agents Association of India (TAAI). Moreover, a tourism office of Azerbaijan opened in Mumbai (India) in late 2018.
Last year, 2,849,600 tourists from 196 countries arrived in Azerbaijan, showing a 5.7 percent increase compared to 2017.
Simplification of visa regime plays a major role in the development of tourism in Azerbaijan. Currently, citizens of a number of countries get visas right at the Azerbaijani airports, while other tourists can visit the country by getting online tourist visas.

Racing: Lewis Hamilton wins Brazilian Grand Prix while tempers flare after the race; Busch sets up showdown with Harvick for the title
Lewis Hamilton won the Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo on Sunday, helping his Mercedes team to take the constructors' title.
Hamilton, who had already sealed his fifth Formula One title, started from pole position and finished less than two seconds ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen.
Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen completed the podium at Interlagos.
Hamilton's 10th victory in the season was helped by Force India's Esteban Ocon, who collided with Verstappen on the 44th lap when the Dutchman led.
Verstappen managed to stay in the race and get closer to Hamilton in the final laps, but it wasn't enough for him to get his second consecutive victory.
Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel finished sixth.
Verstappen confronts Ocon
Verstappen pushed Ocon after the race. The incident is being investigated by Formula One stewards.
Verstappen finished second after the collision on lap 44 happened at Interlagos. Verstappen was building a lead over Hamilton and trying to pass backmarker Ocon, who was not moving aside.
Moments after crossing the line second, Verstappen said over the radio to his team: "I hope I can't find him (Ocon) in the paddock now" and the Dutchman then added a couple of expletives.
Verstappen cut off his post-race interview to confront Ocon in the paddock.
The Frenchman pushed Verstappen's hand away, but Verstappen appeared to angrily shove Ocon in the chest twice as the Force India driver seemed to beckon to his mechanics for help.
Kyle Busch sets up showdown with Kevin Harvick for the title
Kyle Busch won for the eighth time this season to tie Kevin Harvick for the most victories this season and set up a head-to-head battle for the championship.
Busch's victory at ISM Raceway outside of Phoenix was the final qualifying event for next week's finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Harvick was the favorite to win and started from the pole but an early flat tire made Sunday's race more eventful than Harvick expected.
He found himself racing late against Stewart-Haas Racing teammates Kurt Busch and Aric Almirola for the fourth transfer spot to Homestead, but Busch was wrecked late and Almirola had to win the race to snatch the berth away from Harvick.
"We were in big trouble out there with the flat tire," Harvick said.
The final four will be NASCAR's Big Three of Kyle Busch, Harvick and reigning series champion Martin Truex Jr., as well as Joey Logano. The field is two Ford drivers, two Toyota drivers and represents four different organizations. Chevrolet was shut out of the finale.
Brad Keselowski and Kyle Larson, both already eliminated from the playoffs, finished second and third. Almirola was fourth and Harvick fifth.

When she reached the summit of Denali, Naomi Schware fell to her knees, caught her breath and began to cry.
The part-time Boulder resident reached the summit more than 20,000 feet in the Alaskan sky with climbing partner Amanda Burrill on May 22. Both are veterans — Schware of the Israeli military, Burrill of the U.S. Navy — and they hope their expedition will raise awareness about the issues women veterans face.
Schware said she had trouble reintegrating into American society, and Burrill said she faced a long recovery from injuries, including traumatic brain injuries that were initially misdiagnosed. Both found solace and healing in being outdoors, which they hope will help other women in similar situations.
On top of Denali, Schware stood and embraced Burrill, and Burrill kissed her on the forehead.

You needn't pay too much attention to the following, as I shall be explaining a topic that I know nothing about. You might better spend your time in a short nap or watching the Kardashians.
Last week, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva got all crunked up because they said they had found the Higgs boson. Many people have expressed: a) bewilderment at what this means, b) pseudo-learned explanations of what it means, or c) total indifference to what it means. My own response is a combination of all three.
(Here's where you can nod off if you like.) The Higgs boson is a subatomic (i.e. really, really, really small) particle whose existence was hypothesized in the 1960s by the Scottish physicist Peter Higgs, who thought it up one day while chewing on a tough piece of haggis, and slapped his name on this presumptive teensy little dot even before he could prove it existed.
Scientists get all worked up about it because it supposedly would explain how the universe began, based on a theory called the "Standard Model," which holds that the universe is composed of fermions (solid matter) and bosons (the force of energy between the fermions).
The Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman (who has no boson named for him) went so far as to call the still unseen Higgs boson the "God particle." Saints preserve us!
Higgs surmised that fermions (named for Enrico Fermi) get their mass when electrons, protons, and neutrons pass through an electromagnetic field (which, of course, is known as the Higgs field) in which the Higgs boson combines with them to produce solid particles. This would explain how the universe originated—or so a lot of scientists say.
A boson—that word was coined in 1947 for Indian physicist Satyendrenath Bose—is a meson, or subatomic particle, whose spin is zero or an integral number. (A fermion, by contrast, has a spin that is an odd multiple of ½.) Spin is a characteristic of elementary particles visualized as rotation by the particle on an axis and that measures angular momentum and the distance to a particular axis or point.
There are lots of little particles with different names ending in -on, like proton, electron, neutron, meson, photon, pion, and kaon. The suffix –on is Greek, from the word ienai ("to go") and can mean an atom, a group of atoms, or a subatomic particle that may carry a positive or a negative charge as the result of having lost or gained electrons.
That pretty well sums it up.
The quiz that was scheduled following this explanation has been canceled owing to the indisposition of the lecturer. No such luck surrounds the lucubrations of the Bard of Buffalo Bayou, who may not have seen a Higgs boson, but nonetheless is convinced he is one.
The eminent Professor Higgs
Peers closely at some thingamajigs,
While searching for one special boson—
A teensy dot that's subatomic,
Whose existence would be astronomic,
A subject Higgs can wax verbose on.
Someone in a learned article
Conferred the high-flown name "God particle"
On Higgs's hypothetical what's-it,
And physicists from here to Pismo
Search high and low to find that gizmo—
Each hoping he's the first who spots it.
Now one of them, who just won't quit,
Has seen a speck he thinks is it,
And cries, "Give me some elbow room,
For I have found just where it's at!"
Then to this speck he doffs his hat
And says, "Higgs boson, I presume?"
The boson says, "No, I'm afraid
An awful error has been made,
And even though you think it's odd,
I'm not the boson that you thought—
The one that all you fellows sought
Has changed his name from Higgs to God!"

Magnetic field due to current
A spinning electron creates a magnetic field.But what about an electron inside a current carrying wire electron is spinning around its axis and revolving in loop,both simultaneously.So,what if both the situations contradict (both magnetic fields are in opposite direction ).net M.F. should be zero then. I mean what is the fate of electron in a current carrying wire with respect to its spin?
Asked Aakanksha
Why there is no magnetic field around a disconnected copper wire
Moving electrons produce magnetic field right? Electrons on earth are moving at an average of 27.83m/s due to earths rotation plus 30m/s due to earths revolution and may be more due to sun's revolution and our galaxy's revolution.
since there is no absolute motion, how can we tell if electrons are moving?
If the electrons are moving, anyway, why is there no magnetic field around a disconnected copper wire?
Asked N.Srichakradhar Reddy
Questions posted via PhysicsFans.com chat
- In nuclear physics during beta- decay a proton is converted to neutron,positron and a neutrino. How it's possible for a proton to decay into more massive neutron. And it's said that the decay is possible only when it's inside the nucleus. so whether any other factors is involved in this decay?
- We study in magnetism that Earth's magnetism has 3 components namely declination Inclination,Horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field. What is the cause of declination? Why it changes from place to place?
Why is the force on a wire NOT carrying current is zero when kept in a magnetic field?
Explain zero force acting on a wire which is not carrying current,on being placed inside a magnetic field.
Asked Praagy Shukla
A charge at rest will not experience any force in a magnetic field, but a moving charge will experience a force unless it is moving parallel to the field.
In a conductor, the electrons are in rapid and random motion, but the conductor will not experience a force until a current is passing through it. (Even though the electrons are not at rest). This is because, in the absence of a current, the motion of electrons is random and there is no net drift of electrons in any direction. Thus the forces cancel out.
When a current is passed through the wire, there is a net drift and hence a net force is experienced by the current carrying conductor in a magnetic field.
Further, I want to mention that the force is experienced between the existing field and the field produced by the moving charges/ current.

Introduction: Cheap Lathe Tool
I needed a larger lathe chisel to try my hand at turning bowls but I didn't want to spend a hundred dollars on an experiment so I decided to try and make my own.
Step 1: Getting the Parts
The following is a list of the parts I used:
Shaper blades - I used 1" radius carbide blades. I got a set of three for less than $10
A 18" 3/8" square tubing at the big box hardware store. A got a piece 3' long for about $5.
A number 12 bolt, split washer and nut.
A piece of 2x2 for the handle.
Glue - I used liquid nails because I had some laying around. Epoxy would probably be better.
A rivet, should be able to find one for a few cents.
Total cost for one chisel about $7
Step 2: Cut the Tube to Length
I cut the tube in half to 18" and saved the other half for a future chisel.
Step 3: Drill Hole to Mount Blade
Step 4: Mount the Blade
After the hole is drilled bolt the blade to the tube. I set the blade about 2/3s of the way on to the tube. Then cut any excess bolt away.
Step 5: Carve the Handle
I actually used my new tool to turn the handle. Use your imagination to shape it to best fit your turning. I cut the 2x2 about a foot long. I based that size on the fact that that was as long as I could feed through my band saw.
Step 6: Drill the Handle
Now you need to drill the handle to accept the tubing. I just clamped the handle in my vise and drilled it with a hand drill. Pick a bit the will create a snug fit. Too loose and you may have trouble getting it tight. Too small and you may break the handle when inserting the tube. I used a 5/8" bit and it seemed to be about right.
Step 7: Insert the Tube
Now apply glue liberally on the tube and insert it in to the handle. I also drilled and inserted a rivet through the handle and tube to make sure that it won't turn.
Step 8: Done!
That's pretty much it. Allow the glue to dry and go out and use it.

Couldn't you cut it diagonally from the corners to potentially create four?
Thanks rimar. I'll check out the videos.
Hi nice article I make all my tools from old files they are excellent.
awesome :)
Good work, I agree with BARKing. Maybe you could understand this video, although it is spoken in spanish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLlXP1OgeUw (don't use automatic subtitles, they are comical). This guy uses a spine key (I don't know its English name)
Or also this other: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSykpyt7NWA, made with a piston pin.
I made both, with very good success, but I shaped them like a woman nail, cutting them obliquely. They cut very well.
Thanks. And yes it is probably a scraper but it works a lot like a spindlemaster which I believe is kind of a hybrid. But I'm new enough to turning that I don't really have a technic. :)
Good job. You should note that you made a scraper tool and not a cutting tool, because there are different techniques used in turning.
90% of what I do is cutting but there are some places where scraping is better.

Rewind to how it all began
(September 2008)
Hidey hoe, friends!
Welcome to The Bad Husband Chronicles, your daily pit stop in comic relief! I launched this blog in September '08 and it has exploded by leaps and bounds, much to my own surprise. Being a writer, I've always felt I had much to say, but I've spent most of my life keeping those thoughts and feelings to myself. At 35, I figured what the hell, and decided to share myself with the world. If you are a new visitor, please click on "Archives" so you can start from the beginning (September '08). That helps provide some background and hopefully, some insight as well.
I hope you will come and visit again, as I will be adding new chronicles daily. Keep your seat belt fastened and chin up and as Lane Myer says in the classic movie, Better Off Dead, "This is as bad as it will ever get." Please pass this blog around to anyone and everyone, as we can all benefit from knowing that we aren't the only ones that have ever been in the pit of the abyss before! As an aside, please share your comments on the blog. Your email address is not made public and I am the only one who can view it as the administrator of the site. I receive so many comments from many of you through email and encourage you to post them on the blog directly. Not to mention, my poor little Gmail account is like the little engine that could! To avoid unsolicited spam in your inbox, do not provide your email address when you leave comments. If you wish to contact me directly, please feel free to do so at my email address below.
As far as I am concerned, rest easy, my friends. Before you prepare to throw me under the bus, I must tell you that my adventure in marriage hysteria is nearing its end for the second time in my life. So, you may be asking yourself: "How can such a clever gal make such stupid choices?" The only honest answer to that is that I'm as human as the next person and just as fallible. Thankfully, I am blessed with an incredible family and a scintillating wit that keeps me and those around me on their toes. I am not looking for an upgrade or a replacement model man, just the opportunity to share my story with others.

I just found your blog via….well, I won't say. Got to protect the innocent you know. Anyway, I relate. This chick is several months into a 'marital separation' which is required in this state before you can actually kick a bad husband to the curb. What a great legal system we have! Also in a new job, which rivals 'Office Space' in stereotypical employees. For real. I hope that laughing 'with' you is OK…if you need any input into the process or the 'system' as it relates to marital sepatation/divorce, just let me know. Stay cool, keep your sense of humor.
October 13, 2008 at 12:24 PM
I came across your blog accidentally, actually. I read it every day and anticipate each new post. I know you have a fantastic sense of humour, but how is it possible that your husband does not see what a treasure he has in you? Jackass is too frugal a word to use to describe him. If you were mine, I'd love you to the depth of my soul and give everything I am to you. You deserve that more than anyone I know. I hope and pray to the Gods that they bless you with it.
P.S. Will you marry me? J/K (I think.)

Dear Mozziestar
I went through your blog and I must say it very much interest me. I too love the quote by Josie Geller in "Never been kissed" 🙂 Even more than that, I love the short story that you wrote during your college days.

The control bar slider jumps to the end of the file.- Similar behaviour of the TSPlayer when playing back faulty TS files....and probably other issues. The error message "Lost Sync in TS" on the filter's property page will not show up anymore.Please note: DVBViewer Filter 2.2 will be required for the coming TSPlayer update.Thanks to admi-ral for helping to improve and test the DVBViewer Filter 2.2!Overview:Changes since version 2.1- Handling of uncomplete transport stream data packets added, in order to increase the overall stability in case of discontinuities and faulty streams.Changes since version 2.0:- Better AC3 format detection. The type of broadcasted AC3 (e.g. 2/0 or 3/2) is displayed on the property page- Displays the video bit rate on the property page, calculated as moving average of the last 100 PES data packets.- Provides additional functions for future DVBViewer and plug-in releases.

(Forbidden Knowledge TV) James Corbett knocks it out of the park again with this clip, which so succinctly and eloquently explains one of the major reasons why the US military's occupation of Afghanistan continues on the eve of its 15th anniversary, despite the CIA bogey man having been dumped into the Indian Ocean in accordance with "Islamic Principles" (sic).
Most people would be surprised to know that the perversely-named Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) comprises several subordinate operations:
Operation Enduring Freedom – Afghanistan (OEF-A. Now called Operation Freedom's Sentinel)
Operation Enduring Freedom – Philippines (OEF-P. Formerly Operation Freedom Eagle)
Operation Enduring Freedom – Horn of Africa (OEF-HOA)
Operation Enduring Freedom – Pankisi Gorge (Georgia Train and Equip Program [GTEP])
Operation Enduring Freedom – Trans Sahara (OEF-TS)
Operation Enduring Freedom – Caribbean and Central America (OEF- CCA)
Operation Enduring Freedom – Kyrgyzstan
Domestically, it rallies the population around the flag, keeping the flock in check. At the same time it justifies the build up of the police state control grid to catch the thought criminals who resist.
It also writes a blank check for the illegal wars of aggression abroad. Simply place your terrorist boogeyman in the square of the chessboard you're looking to occupy and -- hey presto! -- you've got yourself an excuse to invade. (Even if you "accidentally" end up supporting them, right Uncle Sam?)
But of course the politicians, their string pullers and their fellow travelers benefit from the war of terror in a more straightforward sense. They get to use the terror scares that they themselves create to drum up billions upon billions in the name of fighting the boogeymen.

Tropical Cyclone Fani – also known as Storm Fani – is set to make landfall India and Bangladesh in the next 24 hours, with the equivalent strength of at least a Category 4 hurricane. The storm system is expected to be one of the worst to hit in years, with tidal surges, flooding and winds of up to 155 mph. Hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated from the region already and many more are being warned to stay away from the coast and be aware of flood risks.

Travel advice
This weather front is likely to have a massive and very damaging impact. Please prepare as best you can, and try to limit the demands you make on local resources and responders. Be prepared to help other as soon as it is safe to do so.
If you are in the region –
- Monitor the local weather forecast. Use a couple of different apps and/or websites to get information from multiple sources.
- Look up and save contact details for your local embassy or consular services, and emergency services (different branches may have different numbers). For all contact information, make sure you make a note of it in an offline location too – you may need to make a call from a payphone or landline after your phone battery has died.
- Make sure you have your travel insurance information to hand and know when to call. If you have booked your trip through a travel agent or a tour company, keep that information stored safely too.
- Stay indoors – damaged buildings continue to post a threat. Downed power lines can be deadly.
- Let people know where you are – friends and family, the local consulate, your travel agent/tour company, etc.
- If you are likely to be making a claim on your travel insurance, review the documents so you know what information you will need and what the process for making a claim is.
- Monitor local media.
- Keep mobile devices charged.
- Put aside a storm kit to help you wait out the worst of the weather. Include food that will not spoil and bottled drinking water, candles and matches, a first aid kit, medication, torch, phone charge, batteries, cash.
- Know what form evacuation notices will take – siren, police announcement, text message, etc – and be prepared to comply with them. Put together a grab bag that contains ID, travel documents, insurance information, medication, snacks and a bottle of water.
- Comply with advice from the local authorities.
- Be prepared for delays and disruption.
- If something bad happens, check in with your local embassy as soon as it is safe to do so.
If you are heading to the region soon –
- Check in with your airline and travel agent to find out if your trip will be impacted.
- Monitor media reports.
- Talk to your travel insurance provider to check what is/is not covered, and plan accordingly.

Little Wilfred Nevue's father Wilfred Neveu was born on June 17, 1866 in Chatham, Quebec.
His father was Louis Neveu and his mother was Marie-Louise Cholet dit Laviolette.
Yesterday Michel Lauzon finally found little Wilfred's father who abandoned his wife Celina Delongchamp and his newborn son in October 1886. Michel spent the whole day yesterday searching for him even if I had closed the Neveu dossier.
Three of Wilfred Neveu's siblings were living in Republic, Michigan in 1880. His brothers Louis and Jeremiah, and his sister Leocadie. Louis Neveu was married to Euchariste White (Leblanc), Jeremiah Neveu as married to Marie Élise Chenay, and Leocadie was married to Charles Labelle.
I can't find Wilfred Neveu in any censuses either in 1880 in the US or 1881 in Canada, but he must have been in Michigan in and around 1885 when he met Celina and got her pregnant. A shotgun wedding would be held later…
In October 1886, Wilfred most probably left his wife and son for Butte, Montana, to join his other brother Aldridge Nevin. Aldridge was married to Emma Guay. In 1899 Wilfred Neveu would marry Marilda Guay who was Emma's sister.
Daughter of Edward Guay and Caroline Fecteau, Marilda was divorced from Jarvis (Gervais) Thibodeau. She had two children with Wilfred Neveu: Dora who died in 1902 and Wilford who was born in 1902.
Wilfred Neveu seems to be still alive in 1910, but he is not listed in the 1910 US census.
Marilda is a widow in 1920 living with her daughter Mary Thibodeau White (from Marilda's previous marriage) and two of Mary White's children.
Marilda died on December 10, 1940. She is buried in the same cemetery as her daughter Dora (1900 – 1902).
Now the only information missing is when did Wilfred Neveu die?
Someone had this on Find A Grave.
To be continued…

US General Says More Trainers Will be Sent to Afghanistan
WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. general in charge of training in Afghanistan says the number of American military trainers there will increase by 800 by next March.
That's a nearly 45 percent jump.
Lt. Gen. William Caldwell, commander of NATO's training mission in Afghanistan, told Pentagon reporters Monday that even as the number of combat troops begins to drop, more trainers are needed.
He says the additional trainers will help the Afghans develop specialized skills in maintenance, logistics and medical systems -- things they now need the U.S. to do for them.
There are 1,800 international trainers there now.
Caldwell says just two Afghan battalions can operate independently now, but still rely on coalition forces for medical evacuation, logistics and intelligence support. He says another 124 Afghan battalions can operate with minimal support.

Editor in Chief
Educators, doctors and other experts on the subject of dyslexia hosted workshops on dyslexia, literacy, and teaching methods as part of the second annual Neurodiversity Symposium Sunday in the Campus Center Ballroom and various classrooms.
Niki Elliott, clinical faculty member of special education and co-director of the Center For Neurodiversity, Learning, and Wellness, began the event by saying that addressing the needs of children with dyslexia in education is a social justice issue.
"Our criminal justice system predicts the prison beds they'll need in the next generation by the number of children in a given community who are not reading at grade level by fourth grade," Elliott said. "60 percent of juveniles in incarceration have dyslexia."
Nancy Cushen-White, associate clinical professor at the University of California, San Francisco and keynote speaker for the symposium, was a member of the Dyslexia Guidelines Work Group set up by California Department of Education to develop guidelines for assessment of dyslexia and educational services provided to dyslexic children in public schools, as required by Assembly Bill No. 1369.
The bill requires the state board to include 'phonological processing" in Section 3030 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations, which dictate a child's eligibility for special education. Phonological processing is the processing of one's language through the sounds that exist in it.
Cushen-White described the components of phonological processing, which include remembering the sounds in one's language, naming those sounds, blending spoken isolated sounds into a word, identifying the sounds in a word, and changing the sounds in a word to create new words. She said that individuals with dyslexia, a neurobiological language-based learning disability that impacts one's ability to read, impacts phonological processing.
She said that teachers often misunderstand the problems children with dyslexia face, attributing the students' poor performance to lack of focus, and evaluating a child's reading skill only by read words per minute, rather than by the number of words read accurately, or by how much the child understood what he or she read.
Cushen-White said that children with dyslexia often tend to perform poorly in reading, but excel in other capacities, like spoken vocabulary. They often confuse similar looking letters like "b," "d," "p," and "q" not because they literally see different letters than children without dyslexia, but because the innate ability to recognize mirror images or rotated images of objects as the same object leads them to believe that letters like "b" and "d" are flipped versions of the same thing.
"Basically, you're teaching them that, with letters, there's an orientation," Cushen-White said.
Cushen-White said that an essential part of teaching children with dyslexia how to read is teaching them to associate a phoneme, or the smallest unit of a sound, with a grapheme, the smallest meaningful unit in a writing system (in English, written letters). One example of a teaching method she provides is the auditory-visual-kinesthetic exercise.
First, the letter is named, and the class would gesture the shape of the letter. Then, the class would say a word that starts with the letter. Then, the class would pronounce the letter sound by itself.
Jacqueline Rice, M.S. in early childhood development, led the workshop "Teaching Children to Love Their Dyslexic Brain," which discussed ways to develop the self-esteem of children with dyslexia. She said that children with dyslexia and other learning disabilities often have trouble learning in a traditional classroom environment. She said that those children prefer to learn by manipulating objects in their environment. For example, a child learning to count would prefer to play a game of how many rocks they can stack, and then count the rocks.
She said her understanding of how to teach children with dyslexia comes from her experience growing up with dyslexia and having children diagnosed with it.
During a break in the program, she presented books and products related to the learning styles of children with dyslexia. One of the books was "Dislecksia: The Book, Companion to the Documentary Film," which featured interviews with children with dyslexia, and drawings that reflect their experiences.
"A child, when asked to draw a picture of her experience in school, she drew herself alone in a dark room, and that really had an impact," Rice said. "The whole book I related to, because there were so many experiences that, time and time again, not only did I experience, but you hear from other children."
Dr. Angela Gonzales, pediatrician and parenting specialist, led the workshop "Creating an Environment of Empowerment: Supporting Those with Dyslexia and Rescuing Their Self Esteem."
She started the workshop by recounting her struggle to help her dyslexic son, now 19 years old, learn to read. By the third grade, the curriculum switched from lessons on how to read to lessons using written material to learn new subjects, and as a result, her son fell behind on subjects that which he previously excelled. One night, Gonzales researched dyslexia on the Internet and learned about Ronald Davis, a man who overcame his dyslexia, designed a program to help individuals with dyslexia learn to read, and wrote a book called "My Gift of Dyslexia." Gonzales enrolled her son in a five day dyslexia correction program, and she said that in four days, he increased his reading skills by one letter grade.
"That was my saving grace," Gonzales said. "What Ronald Davis was telling me was that, through his words from his book, 'My Gift of Dyslexia,' from his website, dyslexia.com, was that my child was not dumb, stupid or lazy – I knew that – but that the reason that he struggles with these things that are symbols, pictures, letters and words and sometimes numerals, is the same thing that causes his genius, his ability to problem solve in the real world, his ability to invent."
Gonzales said that it is common for children with dyslexia to excel in visual thinking and associating a word or a letter with an image, but perform poorly in linear thinking. Such children can visualize words like "apple" or "dog," but struggle with words like "the," "that," or "and."
Douglas W. Stephey, doctor of optometry, led a workshop called "Visual Factors in Reading Development," in which he discussed how solving vision related learning problems can make reading easier for children with dyslexia.
"Remember, reading is speech written down, but reading starts as a vision issue," Stephey said.
Stephey said symptoms of dyslexia include headaches and dizziness while reading. These same symptoms can be triggered by visual clutter or optical illusions. Stephey recounted how a woman, after looking at a picture of razor thin black and white stripes, said she had to look away. He recommended that she try look at the image again, but through a prism and blue colored lens.
"The lines stopped moving on the page, and she could look at it for as long as she wanted to," Stephey said. "Why is that a big deal? Because when I find someone in my office who can't look at that, and that's pretty frequently, I say to them 'so could we agree that you don't like looking at black and white stripes,' and they hold it right where they would hold a book and say 'I don't like looking at that,' I would say 'well, have you have an 'ah hah' moment' because print is black and white stripes. At the end of the day, visually, it's black and white stripes."

Is Led Zeppelin planning a 50th anniversary reunion?
The band is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2018
Could Led Zeppelin be reuniting for their 50th anniversary this year? If reports by the UK's Daily Star are true, Robert Plant is reconsidering his vow to never reunite the group again by "mulling over" the idea with guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones. Like I said… IF the reports are true.
The trio, who would likely be joined by Jason Bonham, son of the late John Bonham, on drums are apparently in talks about "hosting events in London in October." The group is releasing its first-ever book, Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin in October, so events would likely correlate around the book release.
"Everyone around the band is buzzing," states one placed source who was not named.
"Jimmy and Robert are talking again and discussing how to celebrate the big anniversary. Realistically this will be the last time that the band has a reason to reunite."
The source claims, "At the moment there are many things on the table being discussed and obviously playing live is one of them. If they won't play, then they will get other stars out on stage playing their hits and then they would join in."
The band last reunited in December 2007 for Celebration Day, a one-off event that saw the foursome take the stage at London's O2 Arena to headline a tribute concert for dear friend and Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun. The two hour show was later released on multiple formats.
Rumors have been circulating for years that the group would reunite, including billionaire Richard Branson offering $800 million for a tour that Plant ripped up. Plant's publicist later confirmed the news was "rubbish." Over the years, Page and Plant have both been outspoken on several occasions about reuniting. Despite Page's willingness to reunite with his former bandmates, Plant has made it clear that he is "not part of a jukebox" and there is "zero" chance of a reunion.
"You're going back to the same old shit," he tells Rolling Stone in 2014. "A tour would have been an absolute menagerie of vested interests and the very essence of everything that's shitty about big-time stadium rock. We were surrounded by a circus of people that would have had our souls on the fire. I'm not part of a jukebox!"
However, later in the same interview, Plant contradicted his words by stating, "I don't think there's any reason for me to [rule out a reunion]. Otherwise we've got nothing to be mystic about…Everything will develop as it develops. All doors are open. All phone lines are open. I don't hear from anybody. Talk is cheap…But I just think everything has to be new. Then you can incorporate history."
At one point, Page had given up on the idea. "I was told last year that Robert Plant said he is doing nothing in 2014, and what do the other two guys think? Well, he knows what the other guys think. Everyone would love to play more concerts for the band. He's just playing games, and I'm fed up with it, to be honest with you. I don't sing, so I can't do much about it. It just looks so unlikely, doesn't it?"
No matter what happens, the group's label Warner Music Group has "a series of high-profile events" for the group's 50th anniversary this year. One of the events was a statue of drummer John Bonham being erected in his hometown of Redditch, England on what would have been his 70th birthday on May 31st.
Take the news for what it's worth, but until it's official, we will have to wait and see.

On the subject of media "balance" concerning Woody Allen and Bill Cosby, Katie McDonough recently said this:
Patrick McEvoy-Halston If some of these legends fall -- people we thought were past the point where their reputations could be radically tempered with -- it'd be a fascinating thing in some respects. It'd be as if someone dug deeper once again into the lives of our Founding Fathers, and what they uncovered, brought to light at a time when a sufficient quantity of us no longer needed god-men anchoring our past, actually meant, say, the removal of one of them from our dollar bills in preference for maybe a female women's right leader, based on an honest overall assessment of them. At first you couldn't believe it … we'd sidestepped yet more of the ostensibly necessary primitive in us -- the demeaning sociological assessment of humans "as requiring religion, shared meaning-making institutions" -- that depends on cherished icons, rights and rituals. Wow. What else might be capable of shucking off -- do we dare try even materialism, Capitalism?!
It's been two weeks since Dylan Farrow published her open letter detailing the alleged sexual abuse she experienced at the hands of Woody Allen. Since then, she has addressed the abuse in interviews with People magazine and the Hollywood Reporter. It's been 20 years since Allen held a press conference on the steps of Yale University to announce the findings of the Yale-New Haven Sexual Abuse Clinic's (incredibly fraught) investigation into Farrow's allegations. Since then, he hasn't much addressed the issue, but really, he doesn't need to. He is a critically celebrated writer and director in a culture convinced of its own righteousness, confident that it would never grant such distinctions to a sexual predator.
Despite enjoying two decades of the presumption of innocence (and a massive accumulation of wealth), Allen was given column inches on the New York Times editorial page to assert his innocence (and impugn Farrow's mental health and character) — in the name of "balance."
Bill Cosby signed a deal earlier this month to return to NBC with a family sitcom; the network is hoping to bank on Cosby's status as a beloved cultural figure to revive its nighttime lineup. The former Cliff Huxtable has been celebrated as a wholesome comedy icon, but he has also been accused — repeatedly, and in explicit detail — of drugging and sexually assaulting multiple women who trusted him as a mentor. The women who have come forward with these allegations, like Farrow and millions of other survivors, don't have much of a platform from which to be heard. They are just names in a court case against another good man and his good name. ("A nation ruled by creeps," Salon.com)

Irish Actor, Pierce Brosnan has been confirmed for being part of the cast for the exclusive Netflix film, Eurovision – the Movie.
Joining Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams will be Pierce Brosnan, an Irish-American actor, best known for starring in Mamma Mia, Golden Eye, James Bond and more. The news has been confirmed by Irish Broadcaster RTÉ.
Ferrell discovered Eurovision thanks to his Swedish wife (who also happens to be an actress) Viveca Paulin, who has been a selector for the Swedish representative in Melodifestivalen. Pierce is rumoured to be starring in the film as an Icelander. Filming for the film will continue in London this week and travel to Húsavík, a northern town in Iceland and in Tel Aviv, where this year's contest was held, three months ago.
The film was first confirmed when Will Ferrell brought along his broadcasting team at the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest. He also came along to the 2019 contest, alongside Rachel McAdams, who will also both be playing Icelanders, according to RUV. The film will be available on Netflix, as a Netflix Original Film, although Netflix still has not confirmed the creation of the film.

Rest Day
Yesterday was a rest day. We actually had a dinner to attend last night for one of Bonnie's co-workers that is leaving their firm and moving out of state. So we did not have time to get her run in yesterday. Maybe a light run this evening, or a neighborhood walk, since I will be doing 15 miles tomorrow morning and she will be joining us for the last 6 of those miles.
My legs continue to feel good, very little pain in the area before where my shins were hurting.
It is so incredible, we have a half marathon coming up on Saturday next week and I'm truly only looking at it as just another training run. I remember the days back in April when I was freaking out and all nervous about the OKC Memorial HM. I'm sure come race day I will have some race jitters, as is to be expected.
I've got a map of the U.S. on my wall at work and Missouri is greyed out. One down, 49 to go!!!
Ok, what is it with Blogger that sometimes the post will show up right away but then there are those days like "today" when you hit "publish post" and the post does not show up? Frustrating to say the least.

HCM CITY — The second bridge of the Y-shaped flyover in HCM City's Gò Vấp District connecting Phạm Ngũ Lão and Nguyễn Oanh streets opened to traffic yesterday.
It cost more than VNĐ 57 billion (US$2.51 million) and almost five months to build, two months fewer than scheduled.
The two-lane bridge is 280 metres long and six metres wide, and allows vehicles to travel one-way to Nguyễn Oanh.
The steel flyover, which cost a total of VNĐ406 billion ($17.88 million), has another bridge connecting Nguyễn Oanh and Nguyễn Kiệm Streets that opened to traffic last January.
It is helping ease congestion at the Gò Vấp intersection and major roads leading to Tân Sơn Nhất International Airport. —VNS

I have NHL 09 but skipped over NHL 10. NHL 11 looked like it had enough new stuff to maybe take the plunge.
NHL 11 Demo Review
- Updated: August 22, 2010
Previously on Section303.com, Jeremy and I spent time with Joe Nickolls from EA Sports talking about NHL SlapShot for Wii. Today, I'm going to focus on the bread and butter of the EA Sports hockey franchise, NHL 11.
EA Sports released the demo for NHL 11 on August 17th for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Regardless of which system you prefer, this game brought many new features for gamers, as well as tweaking the existing framework. I'm amazed at how this game can still be fresh as EA Sports celebrates the franchise's 20th anniversary.
Here are a few high points from the demo…
Battle for the Cup: Game 7 of the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals. Philadelphia vs Chicago in the United Center.
Quick simulation mode kicks in to start the game, Chicago will be up one goal after two periods. You begin game play in the 3rd. Do you play as the favorite Blackhawks, and try to keep a lead? Or do you take the route of the underdog, and try to make the miraculous comeback for the Flyers? You have one period of game play to determine a winner.
One period of hockey allows you to try the new face-off mechanics (including the fantastic camera angles), as well as adjust to a somewhat different feel from NHL 10. I can best describe the game play as having more of an arcade touch, but without being gimmicky. Momentum-based checks feel amped up a bit, and it's noticed in the demo. Revamped physics regarding momentum, adjusted hip-check controls, and more precise puck control really stood out after playing this game mode multiple times.
Hockey Ultimate Team: New for NHL 11, this mode is best compared to an Online Dynasty. You receive a pack of trading cards (kids, ask your parents about those) which determine your players, jerseys, arena, logos, and even the options to train your players. Applying 'consumables' to your players (increased stats), allow you to build up the prospects that come in as part of the deck.
Once your lineup is set, you can jump into a tournament mode and play with your team. Opponents you will face are Memorial Cup winner Windsor Spitfires, Stanley Cup Final participants Philadelphia and Chicago, and if you're so lucky, Olympic Gold Medal winners Team Canada.
Multiple plays in this game mode have impressed me. A deck of cards has contained Predators 2010 draft pick Austin Watson, as well as a future hall-of-famer like Nicklas Lidstrom. Random doesn't begin to describe how the decks could play out for you. One feature on this mode that sticks out is "Chemistry View" when setting your lineup. If you have players from the same team, play a player in their natural position, or match the league that players play in, you'll notice a bump in chemistry. This translates to on-the-ice performance with the line.
Overall, it's another solid improvement for the team at EA Sports. NHL 11 drops in stores on September 7th, and there are pre-order perks from GameStop. Section303.com hopes to start Online Leagues for both 360 and PS3, stay tuned for that.
See you online!

Hockey Ultimate Team = better than any franchise mode IMO. I just wish you could get contract extensions or more players in the demo after your starting players' contracts expire.
I have NHL 09 but skipped over NHL 10. NHL 11 looked like it had enough new stuff to maybe take the plunge. We'll see…
That's actually the case for a couple of us. We're on xbox. This is also my screen name BTW.
I have NHL 10, and is it worth the upgrade?
It kinda doesn't sound like enough to warrant a new purchase in my mind. Although, typically I buy my sports games every other year anyways.
I do plan on picking up the Wii game though. Should be fun with a few mates and a few more beers.
The first time I played I took Chicago and the 1-goal lead turned into a 3 goal win. The 2nd time I played the 3rd period of Game 7, the Hawks were up by 2 goals and I took the Flyers and won in OT 4-3.
I've been a hardcore player in the EASHL since NHL 09, and I am very pleased with new gameplay/updates shown in the NHL 11 demo. There aren't a whole lot of Tennessee-born fans of the EA's NHL franchise, but I just wanted to let everyone know that the few of us out there are doing our best to promote Predators hockey in the online gaming world. Hopefully we will see the Preds new captain Shea Weber(my favorite player) shine this year in NHL 11 as one of the best defensemen in the game.

More and more companies turn to LEAN transformation. Many of them make LEAN transformation without even realizing it because the heart core of the philosophy is how to achieve more with less. The other thing that should not be underestimated is that you need to energize people so they become part of this change. We started to deal with this matter for more than four years.
That said Orlin Dochev, Managing partner of Next Consult in "In progress" on Bloomberg TV Bulgaria with leading Veronica Denizova. Most of the international companies who come to Bulgaria already have certain LEAN practices and rigorous methodology for introducing such practices. But typical Bulgarian companies turn to us because on the one hand see that the introduction of such practices brings real value, on the other hand their counterparts required to have such practices. Initially, people perceive LEAN practices as an increase in work they must do in the company.
This is not truth. The management team very warmly accepted the idea of introduction of the 20 Keys of LEAN practices and gradually began explanation in the down structure of the company. People definitely saw the benefits after the first year. There is an effect, said Peter Grancharov Project Manager in Rollplast. 20 Keys means 20 aspects of business. They concern manufacturing, human resource management, etc. They should be implemented throughout the company at all levels. Evolutionary company must live practices and start to implement them. The consultant is a coach and an internal auditor, said Dochev. Look at all comments

Under Secretary of Agriculture for Farms and Foreign Markets Jim Miller
resigned last week after two years at the helm.
I'm finding this interesting since my friend and former colleague, Bud Philbrook served as Deputy Under Secretary for Foreign Agricultural Services under Miller during the first year of the Obama administration.
Turnover is common among cabinet members and White House Staff, but it will be interesting to see how USDA evolves.

Daniel Cook's Stanford survey returns to Salisbury Cathedral for this third volume in what is shaping up to be a very fine series indeed. An essential one, too, given its commitment to completeness and consistently revealing quality of performances. The centre of gravity here is the Fourth Sonata, a multi-faceted piece given a precisely probing reading by Cook, full of telling contrast and illuminating detail. Modelled on Bach, the Three Preludes and Fugues (op.193) reveal Stanford's fascination with and interrogation of form (demonstrated in the borrowing from Gibbons in the op.105 Six Preludes and Postludes) undiminished in his later years. Recorded sound is up to Priory's customary high standards, with excellent notes by Jeremy Dibble.

Energy efficiency is something that the world swears by and electric resistance heating is the answer for heating solutions. Through this, the entire electric energy is completely transformed into heat. The traditional forms of heat production like the use of coal, gas, or oil are able to convert only about 30% of electricity. Due to this electricity generation and transmission losses, the cost of getting electric energy shoots high.
So here are some of the different types of resistance heaters which are often termed as armored heaters.
Electric heaters are more costly to work with than other electric resistance frameworks on account of the duct that loses heat. The additional heated up air is then required to disseminate all through your home.
Warmed air is conveyed all through the home through supply pipes and returns back to the heater through return ducts. On the off chance, if these ducts go through unheated zones, they lose a portion of their warmth through air spillage and also warm radiation and convection from the pipe's surface.
Electric baseboard radiators are zonal warmers controlled by indoor regulators situated inside each room. Baseboard radiators contain electric warming components encased in metal channels. The channels, encompassed by aluminium help in the balance of the heat transfer through armored resistors. As air inside turns warm, it ascends into the room, and cooler air is drawn into the base of the radiator. Some warmth is likewise transmitted from the pipe.
Electric wall heaters comprise of an electric component with a reflector behind it to reflect the warm temperature into the room and for the most part, a fan is used to move air through the radiator. They are typically introduced on inside dividers of the wall since introducing them in an outside part makes insulation difficult.
The most widely recognized kind of electric warm thermal storage is the resistance heater. The components encased is the ceramic that is used for the storage. The idea to store electrically warmed water in an insulated storage tank is another way of using electric thermal storage.
Some thermal storage of heat measures utilizes the ground underneath homes from resistance cables of heating solutions. In any case, this requires the careful establishment of protection underneath the concrete slabs and all the heating components that limit the heat loss. Ground storage likewise makes it troublesome for indoor regulators to control indoor temperatures.
Any sort of energy storing device faces some amount of energy loss. On the off chance that you expect to seek after an electric thermal storage system, it would be best for the framework to be situated inside the adapted space of your home, so any heat loss from the framework, in turn, warms your home, rather than losing the heat outside. It would likewise be best to know how rapidly heat will escape from the framework. A framework that is found to be leaking excess amount of heat might become the reason for accidents. These are caused due to control issues, which leads to incidental overheating of your home.

|José Herazo-Osorio was born in Barranquilla, Colombia where he studied art and worked as a journalist and cartoonist for Colombian newspapers, such as El Espectador and El Heraldo. In 1969 he moved to Florida, USA, where he currently lives. He is an experienced traveler with great interest in art galleries and museums that he always visits during his trips. He is an acute observer of nature and human behavior that he absorbs to project in his art.
Herazo-Osorio has participated in juried art exhibits winning awards for the quality of his art. His paintings show the disintegration of human experiences through color and movement.
His art carries the bright colors and constant movement of forms from tropical lands that are the origin of his existence. He exhibited at The Biennale 2011 at The Museo d'Arte di Chianciano Terme in Italy where he received the Third Prize award from the Anglo Italian Academy of Arts and an Honorary Mention from The Museo d'Arte di Chianciano Terme. He has exhibited in several venues in the USA and Colombia, including Icosahedron Art & Music Gallery in New York, Coral Springs Museum of Arts, Old Davie Historical Museum, Glass Gallery in Pembroke Pines, Salón de las Américas in Coral Gables, Design Gallery of the Americas in Miami, The Raymond F Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach, Centro Colombo-Americano in Barranquilla and Bogotá among others. Herazo-Osorio is a Member and Docent of MAM - Miami Art Museum.
|Artist's Statement:
|Herazo-Osorio's Work is a conceptual disintegration of the human experience. Movement, action, and color create unity out of the cosmic chaos to express his inner feelings towards a reality.
In the 1960's during his early days as a painter, he was interested in the surreal symbolism of figures and colors. The 1970's and 1980's was a period of self-searching when he painted for his own pleasure and did not have art exhibits. Even though the artist does not like labels, during those two decades his work moved from surrealism to abstractionism, from cartoons to commercial art and journalism. Then came the 1990's when he abandoned interpretations and disintegrations of forms, and decided to paint what he saw without post mental arguments, and he painted real nature, objects and humans per se, without elucidations. However, the events of the new millennium made the painter reevaluate reality and such necessity turned his art into a disintegration of the human experience to project its basic intimacy. That metaphysical drive is the reason on his contemporary project.
Herazo-Osorio's paintings reflect the disintegration of physical phenomena to be transformed into intangible emotions. Human experiences translate into colorful energy in his art.

Massive Attack has subtly been a part of my life for awhile but it wasn't until this year that I became aware of their greatest. From being the theme song for House to being featured in one of my favorite movies of all time, The Matrix, Massive Attack sneakily came into my life. Now it is literally a group that I listen to at least weekly and know most of their songs by heart.
"Dissolved Girl," among the best song ever in my opinion, is actually the song featured in The Matrix for a short time. Here is the clip:
Doesn't that make you just want to watch the movie (again)? I just had a Matrix Trilogy Marathon and still want to watch them again.
It really surprises me how many people, even avid Massive Attack fans, do not know about this song, or at least appreciate it. The beautiful vocals of Sarah Jay mingle with the dark, techno backdrop. And that build up halfway through the song… I get chills every time.
The video to this is actually a fan- compiled video using clips from Immortal (Ad Vitam), a movie I haven't but want to watch. But in the spirit of the post I thought I would include it. I think it really fits the music.
Ever watched The Matrix and/or the whole trilogy? Ever had a movie marathon?

Ottawa Teen Arrested after Drinking, Driving, Speeding Saturday Morning
Posted by wlpo on October 8, 2016
It's never a good idea to get behind the wheel after messing around with alcohol. It's even worse if you're doing it under the legal age.
Shortly before 1:00 Saturday morning LaSalle County Deputies stopped 18-year old Katley Gavin of Ottawa. She'd initially been pulled over for speeding, as police say she was going 84 in a 55 mile-per-hour zone.
Things would get worse for her though, as she was arrested for driving under the influence and illegal transportation of alcohol. She would be taken to the LaSalle County Jail where her bond will be set.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Our first yarn drive was a smashing success… we ended up with skeins, balls, and spools of many sizes, shapes and colors! Knitters Mary Annis, Debbie Burdin, and Pat Engstrom sorted and shared… and thanks to Mary and Debbie's latest donation of mittens and hats, we delivered a shopping bag full to SeDoMoCha this week–just in time to beat Friday's big storm. Thanks to these "blistered fingers" we now hope to keep both Piscataquis Community Elementary School and SeDoMoCha supplied through the winter, then begin building an inventory for the Piscataquis Santa Fund!
We're not through we can use more yarn and more knitters! Yarn collection bins are available in Dover Foxcroft and Guilford (see sidebar) and we continue to recruit knitters. Idle hands are the devil's workshop, it's been said… so if you would rather be working for our kids and communities than for the devil, we'd love the help. Call Community Service Chair Mary Annis (564-0820) or send us an email. Thanks to all those who've helped so far!
