text: rabbelito 0 Posted September 11, 2018 Hello people, I have a question. A few days ago me and my friend were gonna jam a little so I told him to use the Line6 Spider IV 15w that I had borrowed from a friend. When he tried to turn the power on nothing happened. I then discovered that he had connected the telecable from "Guitar input" into the "Phones output" jack. Does anybody have any experience with this? I checked the fuse and it looks good, gonna check it with a multimeter in a few hours when I can access one. The problem is that I had borrowed this amp from a friend who wants it back so would be good to know if it's completely dead and I'll just have to pay him for it or if I could fix this somehow? I'm used to electronics so changing out a fried component is definitely a possibility but I don't know what to look for. Thanks in advance, Rabbe.

There's actually no way out of the mysterious cavernous region of "Worthhnt (Rust Mine)." No matter how sharply gagged the walls; no matter how infinite the path may lead; no matter how loud the shriek: all is lost within. No echo. Complete with bare bones strewn about from previous excavators. The smell of rot. Putrid moisture that tingles skin. Desolated journey. And Mick Barr is hear to bard you the story of such a place, as the folklore behind "Worthhnt (Rust Mine)" is too daunting for clarity in storytelling.
Mick Barr's tormented vocals retell the forsaken that sought out to defeat the majesty of "Worthhnt (Rust Mine)." His hands wrap around the neck, grasping to strangle his storytelling companion, while slashing the guts out of its body work recounts the agony in which fate settles for each bravely failed adventurer. "Worthhnt (Rust Mine)" isn't for the feint of heart, and I don't think anyone else could tell it as intricately as Mick Barr.
If I gotta break down Mick Barr and his project(s) timeline for you, you been sleeping on some wicked artistry. Here's a bit of a short-cut, just in case. But, as the follow up to Mick's previous track, "Blespac (Spathages)," Tiny Mix Tapes is proud to present "Worthhnt (Rust Mine)," which is side-b on the new Wharf Cat Records 7-inch. Blespac (Spathages) is dropping March 25, it's all streaming now on the net, but pre-orders of this brief dynasty in sound are available NOW, on the cheap, and totally work adding to your collection. Slay!

Even though there are people out there who will try to fight this at all costs, getting older is just a fact of life. This means that people may need to curb the way that they live and act in order to cater to this and to ensure that they are safe and healthy for as long as possible. This means that there are some people out there who are in a position where they are wanting to educate themselves about assisted living options in Civic.
This means that either themselves or a loved one will be able to move to Civic where there are people who can keep an eye on them, can ensure that they are taking the correct medications, and can ensure that they are remaining social for the rest of their lives. While this may seem like the smartest choice to make, there is a strong stigma out there when it comes to retirement villages and nursing homes and many people will feel extremely guilty that they aren't able to take care of their loved ones themselves. But there are loads of great options out there and so this post will look at how to educate yourself by learning everything you can about assisted living options.
You are able to easily educate yourself by learning everything you can about assisted living options when putting aside an afternoon to search online
One of the first things that people will have to do in order to educate themselves in regards to the topic of assisted living options is to put aside some dedicated time in order to do so. While most people out there have very busy schedules, they should still pencil in a time slot where they are able to perform some research so that they are going to be able to make the whole process easier on themselves moving forward. One of the best ways to do this is by searching online and this is also a great option for those who do have tight schedules.
For instance, someone who works all day can come home, pull out their laptop and can spend some time searching for information and reading up on some of the things that they can expect. This can include things like learning more about how much needs to be paid, the types of things that are usually included such as food, as well as other people's personal experiences. All in all, the internet is a great way to gather information.
You are able to easily educate yourself by learning everything you can about assisted living options by booking initial consultations with several different homes
Once people have put aside a little bit of time in order to learn more about the topic of assisted living options, they are then able to take the next step which requires them to actually visit some facilities. Not only will this give people a better idea of what they can expect but it will also give people a chance to ask questions about certain things that they weren't able to find an answer to online.
For example, people may have found information in regards to bond payments but may not be entirely sure how much bond they will have to pay for their specific financial situation. Whatever the case may be, if people are dedicated to educating themselves, they will likely find that there is plenty of information out there that can be found in many different ways in regards to assisted living options.

Maternity Services Monthly Statistics March 2018, Experimental statisticsExperimental statistics
- Publication Date:
- 28 Jun 2018
- Geographic Coverage:
- England
- Geographical Granularity:
- NHS Trusts, Regions
- Date Range:
- 01 Mar 2018 to 31 Mar 2018
This is a report on NHS-funded maternity services in England for March 2018, using data submitted to the Maternity Services Data Set (MSDS). The MSDS has been developed to help achieve better outcomes of care for mothers, babies and children.
The MSDS is a patient-level 'secondary uses' data set that re-uses clinical and operational data for purposes other than direct patient care, such as commissioning and clinical audit. It captures key information at each stage of the maternity service care pathway in NHS-funded maternity services, such as those provided by GP practices and hospitals. The data collected include mother's demographics, booking appointments, admissions and re-admissions, screening tests, labour and delivery along with baby's demographics, diagnoses and screening tests.
The Quality Improvement Metrics file includes rates for 3 of the 14 Clinical Quality Improvement Metrics that form part of NHS England's Maternity Transformation Programme.
The following analysis files are published within the zip file 'Additional experimental analysis using MSDS data' for the relevant month due to low data quality and completeness:
• Delivery method by previous births
• Delivery method by Robson group
• Smoking status at delivery (for births one month earlier)
• Postpartum haemorrhage and other maternal critical incidents (for births one month earlier)
• Antenatal pathway level
• Births without intervention.
These statistics are classified as experimental and should be used with caution. Experimental statistics are new official statistics undergoing evaluation. More information about experimental statistics can be found on the UK Statistics Authority website.
Key Facts
This report contains key information based on the submissions that have been made by providers and will focus on data relating to activity that occurred in March 2018.
• For March 2018 data, 134 providers successfully submitted data for the MSDS. This includes all of the 132 providers included in HES data for 2016-17 that were eligible to submit to the MSDS, and 2 providers of midwifery services.
• Among women that had a booking appointment in March 2018, 54 per cent were within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. This varied across regions with the highest proportion (57 per cent) of women having appointments in the first 10 weeks in the North of England and the Midlands and East of England Commissioning Regions and the lowest proportion (45 per cent) in the London Commissioning Region.
• Of the births that had a recorded delivery method, 58 per cent were spontaneous vaginal births, 11 per cent had instrumental assistance, 13 per cent were elective caesarean sections and 16 per cent were emergency caesarean sections. The proportion of births by emergency caesarean was highest in the London Commissioning Region (19 per cent) and lowest in the North of England and the South of England Commissioning Regions (15 per cent).
• Among women that gave birth at 37 weeks gestation or later, 81 per cent had skin-to-skin contact with their baby within one hour of birth. The percentage of women that had skin-to-skin contact within one hour was highest in the Midlands and East of England Commissioning Region (83 per cent) and lowest in the London Commissioning Region (78 per cent).
• 74 per cent of babies received maternal or donor breast milk as their first feed.

Cloud Data Management
Make Sense of Cloud Data Management
Cloud servers have been around for a while, and although organizations are comfortable with the idea of storing their data in the cloud (as opposed to on-premise), there is still some fear when it comes to security and reliability.

I can post pics if anyone cares. Mostly curious to see if anyone has ran any Jzx100 things on their Cressida and unless somebody says "yes I did this and it was 100% off" I'm probably going to pick one up and show you assholes how close/off it is.

Punta Mulas Lighthouse, also known as Faro de Vieques, is an historic lighthouse located in Isabel Segunda on the west shore of Vieques island.
It was first lit in 1896 and automated in 1949. Punta Mulas Lighthouse was the second lighthouse built on Vieques after the Puerto Ferro Lighthouse. The light was established to guide through the dangerous passage formed by a chain of reefs. It was of key importance for navigation in the San Juan Passage.
In 1992, the lighthouse was restored in celebration of the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's first voyage to America. The structure houses a museum featuring the maritime history of Vieques and the Americas as well as other historical exhibits and it is listed in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

I completed this painting of Oscar Wilde in 2011. I was so intrigued with Oscar Wilde's story about how he struggled and suffered terribly as a gay man. He ended up being convicted and doing two years of hard labor in prison for the "indecency and crimes" of being a gay man. English actor Stephen Fry played him in the 1997 movie, "Wilde" which I loved. What you see here is Stephen Fry talking about the Freddie Mercury Phoenix Trust for AIDS Research. I looked up Freddie Mercury's foundation because of the Queen painting I did that I will be donating the proceeds of copies sold to.

3 Ways you can Improve Team Relationships with Project Management Software
- Jun 11 2018
- Team Management
Project management software is the key tool to manage your business. It's required for logging, monitoring, tracking, budgeting, scheduling and reporting; the "hard" skills of management. But keep in mind, behind the project plan and task allocation are real people! When team members have a good working relationship with one another, the success of the project is guaranteed.
Here are three ways how project management software can improve team relationships:
1. Builds Meaningful Connections
Collaborative tools within the PM software can significantly improve your team's soft skills such as team work and communication. How? By providing a single platform for creating touch points and engaging all members. This increases interactions over time and consequently trust.
On this platform, resource assignments are accessible and visible to everyone on the team. When everyone is able to view how the work is allocated and what everyone is assigned, the opportunity to complain about some team members working more than others is reduced.
In addition, with a single platform team members can easily contact one another to address challenges of the project (instead of always approaching the manager). For managers, the PM tool can be used to mark important dates, milestones, deadlines, to-do lists and even staff birthdays.
The latter is a personal touch that is much appreciated by team members. With a single platform to exchange ideas and communicate, trust will surely build over time. Team members who share a high level of trust between each other also enjoy coming to work!
2. Builds Client Confidence
Your project management software has built-in tools that help build lasting client relationships. Firstly, it provides clients with direct view into your PM tool. Of course you can always set access parameters, but having direct access enables clients to see the project's status and progress.
The client will also be able to gauge how you've moved towards project goals and your commitment towards the entire project. In a nutshell, he or she will be able to ascertain whether you're delivering on your promises. Having this type of transparency for your client is a big confidence booster for your team.
3. Provides a Balanced Work Atmosphere
To attain a successful balance between work and life, a number of factors must be in place such as company policies, management policies and even employee personality. But having just one of these factors alone won't make a happy and flexible workplace. A project management tool provides teams with the flexibility of working on software projects, how and where they want.
A study conducted by the New York Times found that employees were less likely to leave a company if they were content with how they worked. The study reported that apart from having good relationships with managers and fellow team members and having flexible department policies, having the right tools to enable task completion motivated these employees to stay on for the long haul.
Clearly, having the right project management tool plays a big role in helping maintaining a good work balance.

convicts, to square off in a big football game against the sadistic guards. With the help of fellow convict Caretaker, and an old

Once a champion thoroughbred trainer, Walsh has given up horse training for a quiet life with Channing on their modest
Kentucky farm. The little zebra, or "Stripes," as Channing calls him, is soon introduced to the farm's misfit troupe of barnyard

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story
Peter LaFleur is a charismatic underachiever and proprietor of a rundown gym called Average Joe's. The facility's ecclectic
clientele of decidedly less-than-average Joes is comprised of: a self-styled pirate; a scrawny nerd who dreams of impressing
an unattainable cheerleader; an obsessive aficionado of obscure sports; a dim-witted young man; and a cocky know-it-all
who, of course, really knows nothing. Peter's humble gym catches the eye of White Goodman, the power-mullet-sporting, Fu-
Manchu-d, egomaniacal owner of Globo Gym, a gleaming monolith of fitness. White intends to take over Average Joe's, and
Peter's non-existent bookkeeping is making it all too easy for him. A foreclosing bank has stationed attorney Kate Veatch
inside Average Joe's to finalize Globo's takeover of the gym. But Peter's boyish charms win her over and Kate joins his team of
social rejects to beat the odds—and their own ineptitude—to try to save Average Joe's. How? A showdown dodgeball
competition against Globo Gym.
In an era when Americans were in great need of heroic figures to help them forget their troubles, SEABISCUIT comes to the
rescue. The picture relates a moving story of friendship and devotion in rehabilitating the main characters'fractured lives, as it
interweaves the interactions between horse, jockey, trainer and owner and their adoring fans. The film accurately portrays the
real people and events of those troubled times and how Seabiscuit "fixed us, every one of us."
While the rest of his high school graduating class is heading to the same old grind of college, skateboarder Eric Rivers and
his best friends, Dustin, a goal-oriented workaholic, and misfit slacker Matt have one last summer roadtrip together to follow
their dream of getting noticed by the professional skateboarding world—and getting paid to skate. When skating legend
Jimmy Wilson's skate demo tour hits town, the boys figure that as soon as he sees their fierce tricks, he'll sign them up for
his renowned skate team immediately, right? Unfortunately, the guys are intercepted by Jimmy's road manager and they
can't get their foot in the door, much less their boards. But they do get some free advice: keep skating, stay true to yourself,
and stay in the game—if you're good, you'll get noticed. Following their dream— and Jimmy's national tour—Eric, Dustin and
Matt start their own skate team, reluctantly sponsored by Dustin and his college fund. After recruiting laid-back ladies man
Sweet Lou to join their crew and provide the wheels for their tour, team Super Duper launches the ride of their lives in an
outrageous road trip from Chi-town to Santa Monica.
A Gentleman's Game
A boy learns more than he expects when he tries to improve his golf game in this drama. Timmy Price (Mason Gamble) is a
12-year-old boy who has begun to display a precocious talent for golf. Hoping to hone his son's interest in the game, Timmy's
father, Mr. Price (Dylan Baker), arranges for his son to have a summer job as a caddy at a nearby country club. Timmy gets a
crash course in the nature of class when he becomes aware of the sharp divide between the wealthy people who patronize
the club and the working-class men and women who are there to quietly fulfill their desires.
Second String

Bend It Like Beckham
A comedy about bending the rules to reach your goal, Bend It Like Beckham explores the world of women's football, from
kick-abouts in the park to freekicks in the Final. Set in Hounslow, West London and Hamburg, the film follows two 18 year
olds with their hearts set on a future in professional soccer. Heart-stopping talent doesn't seem to be enough when your
parents want you to hang up your football boots, find a nice boyfriend and learn to cook the perfect chapatti.
Johnathan Cross, a lover of extreme sports, is recruited by Alexi Petrovich to star in his sportive invention, Rollerball.
Johnathan accepts and learns the ropes of Rollerball: The players are on Rollerblades, trying to bring a heavy metal ball into
a high goal. Also, there are motorcyclists around to bring momentum to the players. Oh yes, and there are no rules in the
game. During his skyrocketing career, Johnathan has to experience what Alexi has found out: Blood brings more viewing
pleasure to the audience. So, Alexi starts to bribe members of the different teams to cause more trouble than necessary on
the field, and the viewers love it. Only a little later, Johnathan's life is already in extreme danger as well as those of his friends
and teammates. In a final game, Johnathan and his team have to fight for mere survival against their real opponent - their
boss Alexi Petrovich.
Dogtown and Z-Boys
In the mid-70s, surfers from Venice-Santa Monica who hung out at the Zephyr Surf Shop would skateboard when the surf
was quiet. Over the course of a few heady years, riding on polyurethane wheels and copying the surfing moves of Larry
Bertleman, the Z-Boys invent and polish their style on a hilly street near the shop, on the asphalt slopes ringing school
playgrounds, and then in swimming pools empty during California's drought. The Z-Boys astound upright skateboarders at
the 1975 championship in Del Mar. Within a year, the team splinters as some players join better financed pro teams. The
film ends with profiles of the stars, Jay Adams, Stacy Peralta, and Tony Alva.

- Description:
It is a well known fact that PHP is missing a basic enum type, ignoring the rather incomplete SplEnum implementation which is only available as a PECL extension. There are also quite a few other userland enum implementations around, but all of them have one or another compromise. This library tries to close that gap as far as PHP allows it to.

I guess this is my first time on this site although not my first time in the Marriland forums community. I went by a lot of names on the old site; Xspeed34, HyperMetalSonic, GhostlyPhantom, Protoman, Cynical_Toast, and Cork. The only constant among most of those identities was that I was a dumb little baby boy lol. I was only like 10 years old when I joined the old site all those years ago, and while I tried to deny it, it was pretty obvious. I kind of lost interest in forums a couple of years ago, moving to reddit as my primary internet social site thingy. But now I'm finally back, to kick some tail. I can't guarantee I'll be consistently active, that's never been something I was good at, but I can at least gurantee I'm slightly more mature than I was as a 10 year old.

As villages go on Goeree-Overflakkee, Stellendam is the new kid on the island. Nothing is older than some 234 years old. Approach it from landside and the white-painted Korenlust windmill will be your beacon. From the water, you'll sail into the Deltahaven.
The polder home of Stellendam was only closed off in the mid-18th century. Before then, there was an island known as Zomerland. The first building on Stellendam is now the brasserie 't Wapen van Stellendam.
The struggle with water has been long and hard: in the 19th century, the village was flooded three times. The 1953 flood disaster was harsh, destroying much of the village and snatching the lives of more than 50 inhabitants.
Stellendam has always been a fishing village, even though it seldom brought riches. In its early days, earnings from sturgeon were sometimes providential, as were the occasional sessions of shrimp peeling – now long forbidden as a cottage industry at home. Times change, and the village fishing fleet in the Deltahaven has been joined by those of nearby Ouddorp and Goedereede. The focus today is on flatfish and shrimps.
Friday – we say 'vrijdag is visdag' – is the best day to be down on the fish quay in Stellendam, You'll see the catches landed, sorted and auctioned. You can book a guided tour at the VVV Inspiration Point. Early start, mind.
Before the iconic Korenlust grain windmill was built in 1856, the site was occupied by another mill. Destroyed by a massive gale, it bequeathed some parts to the Korenlust. That was a thriving business until 1961. You can visit it on Saturdays, and by arrangement.
On the road north out, there's a seal sanctuary called 'A Seal' – a Dutch play on words, using the word 'asiel', which means sanctuary or asylum. You can visit every day (and even do volunteer work). It's run by a non-profit foundation. They offer poorly seals a space for recovery, and release them back into nature a.s.a.p. on the beaches of Ouddorp or Renesse. That release schedule is here: www.aseal.nl.
The Scheelhoek nature reserve, much coveted by birds, is just outside Stellendam, between the Zuiderdiep and Haringvliet. In total, it comprises 343 hectares of the Scheelhoekbos woods, and the wondrous wetlands of the Plaat van Scheelhoek with creeks and reed beds.

Updating Capitvate to Android 2.2
I've read of a good number of folks that had issues/problems upgrading. AT&T sent me the link below for instructions on upgrading.
This is a whole bunch of hoops to jump through, not even knowing if it will turn out ok or you'll have a good 'paper weight' afterwards. Does anyone have an idea of the percentages of failure? I sure don't want to be without a phone.
I'm not sure I understand why this could not be simpler. I mean...holding the volume up and volume down keys while inserting the USB, taking out the battery? That's a bunch of hoops.
It would be nice if there was an 'app' which upgraded you. My MacBook updates without me having to hold special buttons or taking out a battery.
Accepted Solution
Official Solution
Actually, I didn't do step 3. It looks like that step is for the computer to recognize and then install some additional drivers. I didn't run into any problems, but now that I think of it, I may have done the "driver" step at an earlier time for some stuff I was doing while "experimenting" with other options on my phone.
When I did the update, it went very well. I did it on an WinXP PC. In a nutshell, I downloaded and installed Kies Mini. then after starting the program, I turned on USB debugging on my phone, then plugged it into USB. Then Kies found the phone and I clicked on the update button. Now, you have to be patient. It took about 20-25 minutes total for my update to install and complete on my phone.
Thanks for the info.
Did you do the step three stuff (holding the volume up/down button in and taking the battery out etc)?

The local government of a city in the Fukui prefecture (Japan) needed to revamp its MSW incineration facility to simplify operations and reduce costs. A key factor for the revamped facility was a potential replacement for its existing pollution control unit, which used a fixed-bed activated carbon with ancillary fire protection system to reduce post-incineration dioxin/furan emissions.
Case Studies, 102.71 KB
The construction firm A&E was competing for a new MSW incineration facility at Okayama Prefecture (Japan). One of the facility's core needs was to meet regulations for post-incineration emissions. As part of the bidding process, A&E committed to finding the best-available technologies to meet the project's various technical scopes, including controlling post-combustion dioxin/furan emissions, all while minimizing the initial investment and ongoing operating costs.
Case Studies, 107.93 KB
At an energy to waste facility in Kochi, Japan, power was generated by incinerating municipal waste using a stoker furnace, which incorporated pollution control units at the downstream. After heat recovery, the flue gas was further cooled down to 150 °C for the effective carbon adsorption of dioxin/furan. The gas was then passed through a filter baghouse to remove particulates. Finally, the gas was reheated to 210 °C for tail-end NOx reduction by an SCR tower.
Case Studies, 119.62 KB
A municipal solid waste incineration plant in Hamura, Tokyo, was using powder-activated carbon injection to control dioxin/ furan emission. The plant management needed a solution to two simultaneous challenges: Increasing the facility's waste incineration capacity by 14 % while mitigating the surrounding neighborhood's concerns of high dioxin/furan emission.
Case Studies, 111.87 KB
An incineration plant in Pennsylvania uses a rotary kiln incinerator with a downstream pollution control system to treat medical waste. In 2009, the EPA introduced a new emission guideline (EGs) for rotary kiln incinerators. In October 2014, the EGs was enforced at the plant, whose existing pollution control system complied with all components of the EGs except dioxin/ furans emission (D/F).

Funny TV Story!
I just wanted to post this quick and funny story that REALLY did happen to us!
Last Sunday we visited a church gathering where, in the course of a conversation, we were challenged by a lady to do something we had already been talking about lately…to stop watching Television for a week. The reason for this is to see just how much time we waste worshipping the tube! So we took this challenge seriously and didn't turn the TV on for the entire week. Not just any week, but the week of all the season premiers of some of our favorite shows.
All week, we seemed to have more time to read, study, talk and work on cleaning out the basement, getting ready for an upcoming and unavoidable yard sale.
After working all evening on Friday, we decided to watch the season premier of "Numbers" at 10:00 p.m.
What happened next is possibly the funniest thing that has ever happened to us in nearly 11 years of marriage. At exactly 10:06 p.m., the TV blew up! Yes, the picture suddenly went out, and smoke began to billow out of the back of the TV! Quickly we unplugged the smoking TV, and laughed as I exclaimed, "Okay God, I think we get the picture!"
I'm not saying that we will never watch TV again, but because of this funny experience we will keep track of how much of our lives we devote to the nothingness that is Television!
We cannot let the important things be held hostage by the unimportant!
Thanks be to God for having a sense of humor and caring enough to continually teach us.
One response to "Funny TV Story!"
Valerie Bransdorfer says :
That is a great story and I have no doubt God got your attention.
We turned off TV several years ago and only play selective DVD's.
I would be just as happy though, tossing the thing right out the door…expect for ..maybe…"Lost".

A NEW report has revealed that home fire safety checks are saving lives.
Fire minister Sadiq Khan visited Leeds to announce the results of the report which shows that the checks, involving fitting smoke alarms in homes, saved 53 lives in England each year since the government introduced fire safety grants four years ago.
Mr Khan met with West Yorkshire Chief Fire Officer Simon Pilling and the chairman of the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority Clr Philip Booth.
Mr Pilling said: "West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service was at the forefront of home fire safety by introducing its own Home Fire Safety Check Strategy in 1996.
"In 1996/97 there were 28 fire deaths in West Yorkshire, but during 2007/08 we had 10 accidental fire deaths."
The independent report also revealed that fires in the home and people injured as a consequence have both lessened in the years since the government allocated £36m to fire and rescue services.
Anyone can have a free home smoke alarm by calling 0800 5874536.

The top story on our site this week concerned one of Baltimore's largest private real estate developers proceeding with some unique renovation plans for an empty Mount Washington church.
On Tuesday, Baltimore's Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation approved Blue Ocean Realty's blueprint to restore and convert a vacant sanctuary at at 1700 South Road into a new company headquarters. The project would entail removing stained-glass windows and replacing them with clear ones, lowering window sills to let in more light, "encapsulating" two crosses outside, adding a new floor to the church and regrading a hill to make room for a new lobby.
The project doesn't have an estimated cost yet. Once finished, the former church will fit 30 staffers, with some extra room for expansion.
"For us, this project is much more than an investment," Blue Ocean president Jonathan Ehrenfeld told the commission. "It is a home. We are pulling out all the stops to bring this project to life."

High throughput Phenotypic Microarray profiling of Mycobacterium abscessus
Sirwan Muhsin Muhammed Ameen1
1 Department of Biology, College of Science, University of Sulaimani, Kurdistan Region, Iraq.
Original: 21 May 2018, Revised: 4 June 2018, Accepted: 11 June 2018, Published online: 20 June 2018
Mycobacterium abscessus group comprises of five species of rapidly growing mycobacteria. These mycobacteria are increasingly responsible for difficult-to treat, opportunistic cutaneous and respiratory tract infections, notably in cyctic fibrosis patients. Identification at the species level remains problematic and is relying on nucleotide sequence analyses, leaving a need for routine, phenotypic identification of such isolates. Here, the carbon and peptide nitrogen source utilization patterns of Mycobacterium abscessus complex mycobacteria was investigated using Biolog phenotype MicroArray analysis based on tetrazolium dye reduction. In a first step, a data base was built after duplicate investigation of Mycobacterium abscessus, Mycobacterium bolletii, Mycobacterium massiliense, Mycobacterium chelonae and Mycobacterium franklinii type strains. In this study, 190 carbon sources were tested; 77 (40.5%), 77 (40.5%), 77 (40.5%), 76 (40%) and 37 (19.5%) were found to be utilized by type strains of M. abscessus, M. bollettii, M. massiliense, M. chelonae and M. franklinii. Of 285 peptide nitrogen sources, they were found able to utilize 217 (76 %), 216 (75.7 %), 209 (73. 3 %), 194 (68 %) and 24 (8.4 %) nitrogen substrates, respectively. Each species yielded one specific profile, thus allowing for their unambiguous phenotypic identification at the species level. In a second step, a collection of M. abscessus, M. bolletii, M. massiliense and M. chelonae was tested to assess the usefulness of the Biolog for identification. We observed that all then identical strains were correctly identified at the species level.

Tariffs starting to hurt, Elgin manufacturers tell Durbin
Some Elgin area manufacturers say they are beginning to suffer from steel and aluminum import tariffs imposed six months ago by President Donald Trump.
"We started paying the tariff in March. It's costing us a great deal of money," said Mike Bilyk, president and CEO of American NTN Bearing.
One of the company's main competitors is from South Korea, which is exempt from the tariffs -- although subject to a quota -- Bilyk said. Also exempt from the tariffs are Argentina, Australia and Brazil.
The roundtable discussion Tuesday was organized by the Elgin Area Chamber of Commerce and the Elgin Development Group for the benefit of U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin. The Democrat said he wanted to find out more about the consequences of the tariffs -- 25 percent on imported steel, 10 percent on imported aluminum -- on local employers.
The Trump administration said its goal was to bring back manufacturing jobs, Durbin said. He pointed to U.S. Steel, which is bringing back 800 jobs at its steel mill in Granite City, Illinois. "Thank goodness," he said. "I'm glad they got their jobs back."
But the discussion must include the voices of U.S. manufacturers who are harmed, Durbin said. "Those steel workers are very visible walking through their gates. The impact we're talking about is not visible."
Jim Companik of Motorola Solutions said the company also is starting to feel the impact of tariffs. "We're trying to mitigate that cost to the best of our ability," he said.
In the long term, production might be relocated or consumers might end up paying higher prices, the manufacturers said. Elgin Mayor David Kaptain said he worries about local jobs.
U.S. manufacturers have been filing requests with the government to be excluded from the tariffs based on whether they can find the needed quality or quantity of materials, or if their products have national security uses.
Illinois' 6th Congressional District had the highest number of steel exclusion requests in the U.S., with 2,595 filed by four firms as of Aug. 17, according to Tradevistas, a partner of the bipartisan Center for Strategic and International Studies. Illinois' 5th District had the highest number of aluminum exclusion requests, with 665 filed by two firms.
Bilyk said NTN has heard nothing so far about its requests. Durbin called the process "very opaque'" and said that's one of the issues that need to be fixed.
Durbin asked whether U.S. companies could begin producing the steel and aluminum needed by local manufacturers.
That might be possible, Bilyk said, but it will take a few years for them to upgrade their technology, and the manufacturers also will need time to verify the products meets their expectations.
"My personal feeling is that trade is important and that we need to have it as part of our national economy," Durbin said.

Weather.: Oh it's been a rollercoaster. Cooler spring than expected, with more rain than anticipated. May is heading for the door and June looks to be mild.
So. Glances at the date and winces.
I'd make excuses or give reasons for my lack of blog activity, but the truth is I just haven't had the energy or coherency to write lately. The political garbage fire kind of sucked me in and I have been spending way too much time refreshing my Twitter feed rather than looking out the window or thinking about creating. The righteous anger I felt at the start of this year has turned into a low burning seething fire in my belly. I've been productive in the studio, but my new work hours have somewhat curtailed the time I've spent there.
Wildly random update: The husbeast and I took a financial planning class which has actually helped us get back on track with our economic situation. Which was good because my little beat up Punk Mobile of a car decided that it was time to self destruct– Rack and pinion broke along with the steering column and struts. In other words: $$$$ of repairs. There was a period of deciding whether it was worth it to put the money into the car, but ultimately we realized that we can't be a one car family. (We tried for a month and it was getting very unfeasible.) So, made an adult decision to hold off on a new car until we could pay mostly cash for it, and got the Punk Mobile fixed.
Also, made another adult decision to get our health back in order and went to see a nutritionist who gave us much more clear and practical ways to eat better and get in healthy shape.
Add in some relatives passing away and having bad things happen…it's been a rather busy and distracted period of time.
Now. The title is something I've been wanting to discuss, but been mulling over how to write it up. I'm not old, not by any reasonable definition. 50 years old is solid middle aged. But sometimes "aging" is less to do with a number and more to do with the deterioration and decline of certain faculties and body functions.
I have, over the past few years, had an acceleration in vision deterioration, the onset of arthritis in several of my joints and of course, the weight problems I'm working on as we speak.
I wear increasingly strong bi-focals to see, and as of recent, I have to wear them all the time because I can't see shit with them off. They used to be just for reading. Now I can't function without them.
The arthritis is hard, mostly because it's setting into my hands, predominately in my thumb joints. The thumbs are starting to float towards my palm, making it almost impossible for me to flatten my hand out on a level surface. My grip is getting weaker, though I'm doing what I can with exercises and braces to counter it.
The weight issue is fixable, but with age comes more effort necessary to achieve your goals.
It's obvious how it affects my day to day, but the frustrating part is how it's affecting my art.
Being a mosaic artist, a lot is depending on my ability to cut tile, stone and glass. I use clippers, glass cutters and even saws to get pieces to the shape I need for whatever the piece requires. With my thumb joints deteriorating, using the clippers for extended periods of time is getting difficult. And trying to hold the tiles as I clip them is increasingly difficult as my thumb-to-index finger grip is getting weaker and has less dexterity. I've compensated where I can by using tiles that are smaller and need less customizing, but it's definitely starting to limit the work I can do.
The way I've come to terms with this is accepting that I may have to alter my technique and re-define what kinds of art I want to make. I'm not one that takes these kind of limitations well, but practicality will always win out over my fragile little feelings.
Yes, I've spoken to my doctor about this, but the answers are usually to offer exercises to stave off the deterioration a bit longer, but no, there's no reversing it.
The vision problem will just be relegated to better glasses, hopefully not ending in a point where I just have to accept that I can't do smaller detailed work anymore.
There is some guilt flagellation going on, because I know that some of this bodily degradation rests solely on my sedentary shoulders. Had I done a better job of staying healthier, I might have not been dealing with these issues for a few more years. But this is what it is. We adapt to our environment, our new relationships with our surroundings, because we have to. I will have to adapt to my new reality, where my body may not be working the way it did, but I will find a way to work with the new limitations. Self-inflected wounds aside, I need to stop beating myself up over past lapses and make sure they don't continue in the future.
I'm 50, not dead. And if watching others have blooming careers in their 60s, 70s and older has taught me anything, you can have the life you want, but you may have to accept that there are different parameters to work within.
So no whining. No lamenting. Just accepting the circumstances, doing what I can to adapt and still work on slowing the deterioration, and making the best of my new reality.
An aging artist is still an artist. Limitations are merely things to work around. I won't be defined or limited by things as simple as sore joints and bad eyesight. I still have a destination, I just need to adjust the path.

"There are two ways to conquer and enslave a country. One is by the sword. The other is by debt."
John Adams,1735-1826
At the beginning of this year, risk in the portfolios has been significantly reduced. Motivated mainly by the following increased specific risks: First, Structural difficulties during economic and financial market reforms in China. Secondly, increased political uncertainty in Europe caused by discrepancies in economic status of the different EU member states and the British EU membership referendum the 23nd of June. Thirdly, the United States economic growth could be lower than expected, as job growth seems to concentrate on low wage jobs. Finally, the large decline in oil prices, although a long term positive, could lead to short term volatility in the generally debt-leveraged energy sector. With these issues still on the horizon, returns in stock markets are neutral to slightly positive, but show large volatility since the beginning of the year. None of the identified risks have materialized thus far, but they all remain present.
Although risk in the portfolio has been underweighted, the portfolios attained a similar return to the benchmark. The main driver for the recent increased risk appetite in the financial markets, which followed the negative returns at the start of the year, is the ever more accommodative monetary policy of central banks. The European Central Bank drastically lowered interest rate to below zero percent and expanded their bond purchase program. Federal Reserve Bank (FED) chair Yellen inspired a stock rally when she indicated a declining possibility of further increases in the interest rate in the US as the FED takes more global developments into account and sees the same aforementioned uncertainties. This scenario, in which negative developments in the world economy are interpreted as positive for financial markets, because it forces further accommodative central bank policy, has been ongoing for several years. Central bank easing has not yet been successful in fueling robust economic growth even though several unconventional policy tools have been deployed. Furthermore, this policy has led to high valuation of assets and financial markets. The more careful portfolio positioning is therefore maintained. This uncertain environment requires a continued focus within individual investments on robust companies with a proven business model, solid balance sheet, and an excellent reputation and track record on the individual investment level.
Recent macroeconomic indicators have shown slight improvements in the US, Europe and Asia ex-Japan. The world economy is still expected to grow below trend as corporations and consumers continue to deleverage and therefore save money instead of spending it. Government debt as a percentage of gross domestic product had increased significantly since the dot-com and financial crises in the previous decade causing politicians to be unwilling to increase public spending. The US consumer remains the best positioned to benefit from the lower energy price. Furthermore, after several years of economic growth the US economy is not burdened by fiscal drag. Europe seems to have larger structural problems and government finances still need significant reform. In Japan, the three arrows of Prime Minister Abé's Abenomics have not yet been able to spur economic growth. Of the developed economies, the US therefore remains the preferred region. Regarding emerging markets, Latin America and Russia continue having to cope with governance issues. China is expected to continue its growth but the restructuring of the economy paired with higher levels of private debt remains worrisome. This also affects other Asian countries. Emerging markets exposure is currently very limited in the portfolios.
Asset Allocation
The composition of the portfolios became more defensive over the quarter and this is maintained going forward. Within fixed income duration in both US Dollar and Euro has been increased significantly and its allocation changed to overweight. The large allocation in liquidities is maintained to benefit from the artificially high, albeit still low, credit interest rates offered by Dutch banks and to manage the overall portfolio risks. Equity has been reduced to underweight by selling some of the riskier positions and some stocks that attained a high valuation. Real estate is slowly being increased to neutral as these stocks should be able to benefit from a continued low interest rate environment. The portfolios will remain neutrally invested in listed private equity. Finally, within commodities the portfolios are neutral weighted, limited to precious metals, as an insurance against unforeseen adverse events. Gold is expected to further benefit from longer low interest rates.
A diversification in fundamentally strong foreign currencies is maintained and the portfolios are overweight in US Dollar.

One of the things we try to do is bring out the unique relationship each of our couples have.You can see right away that Celine and Bobby are goofy and silly and happy together. It's awesome being able to capture those moments that make a couple unique and sweet. We started at Griffith Park at the historic Old LA Zoo and from there moved on down to downtown Los Angeles. We lucked out and were able to get a lot of water fountains in one shoot, which not all of them are open for shooting now-a-days. So read on for our day of Griffith Park engagement photography and our night of downtown Los Angeles engagement photos with water fountains!
This article shows us doing Griffith Park engagement photography in Los Angeles, which is an ideal location for getting lots of greenery and nature but keeping it close to downtown Los Angeles. After that we headed to downtown LA for more engagement photos at the DWP (Department of Water and Power) building and nearby water fountains. The locations in downtown Los Angeles are getting more and more restrictive, so it's important to have an engagement photographer that knows the ins and outs of each location. Otherwise it leads to time wasted and possible fines.
For more examples of downtown Los Angeles engagement photography or Griffith park engagement photo sessions, definitely look through our blog to many more exciting photo locations in Los Angeles and Orange County. We also have many more examples of recent work we've done on our Instagram account (@judyandgavin). For example, here's an engagement photo we did out in Joshua Tree with the Milky Way in the background (real picture, no photoshop):
If you are interested in booking us for an engagement photography session, make sure to check out our prices and packages page first. We also have a full engagement photo session example online here, which is a great way to make sure that your photographer is consistent and reliable.

For courses in Argument.
Prepares students to communicate persuasively and collaboratively in academic, career, and other real-life settings
In the right circumstances, argumentation becomes a "habit of mind" that students can transfer to their other college courses, careers, and civic lives. Revel Argument Today helps instructors convey to students how to listen carefully, critically analyze all sides of an issue, weigh the available evidence, figure out what they believe, and express their ideas clearly — instead of training them to attack and defend. This approach is essential as virtual workplaces, social networking, and multimodality place us in continual conversations with others.
The genre-based approach of Argument Today promotes academic, career, and personal effectiveness through adaptable, common arguments like analyses, narratives, commentaries, evaluations, and proposals. Key concepts are presented visually to help students understand genre conventions and begin composing quickly and effectively. With concise, modular chapters and sections,individual instructors can adapt the book to their style with ease. Along with numerous revisions and enhancements, the 2nd Edition is now available via Revel™.
NOTE: This Revel Combo Access pack includes a Revel access code plus a loose-leaf print reference (delivered by mail) to complement your Revel experience. In addition to this access code, you will need a course invite link, provided by your instructor, to register for and use Revel.

05 Feb Pic(k) of the week 6: DESERT ROAD – my start at aerial drone photography
Source: Bjorn Moerman
As a pilot-photographer, I guess it is normal that I'm being drawn to Aerial photography. Inspired by Yann Arthus-Bertrand since a young age, shooting aerials is definitively in my top 3 favorite genres of photography. Until now this was done from either airliners flying up high or from light single engine planes like my 1954 Piper Super Cub low and slow. But that is about to change…
Over the last few years the use of drones for aerial photography has become more and more popular. Although I did hold off for a while, I finally got myself a Mavic 2 Pro; the latest prosumer drone from DJI, the worldwide leader in drone sales.
The main reason what I've been waiting that long was the lack of a decent camera. The Mavic 2 Pro, has a Hasselblad branded 1 inch CMOS 20Mpx sensor with a 28mm (full frame equivalent) lens. To my knowledge this is one of the first prosumer drones with a 1 inch sensor camera. On top of that, it has a variable aperture (f2.8/f11) lens, which is pretty rare as well in this market segment. Did you notice, I'm excited?
Last week, I got my drone certificate in Dubai after a theoretical and practical test. As this is a legal requirement for flying a drone as a hobbyist in Dubai, I obviously want to follow the rules and lead by example. Since I'm a pilot myself, I'm a strong advocate for flying drones legally and responsibly!
Anyway, back to the Pic(k) of the week. The image below was shot at an undisclosed location where there is a whole…

That is one awesome-looking word. From now on, this is the term for school chaos, which encapsulates a typical morning at the Helmeschool perfectly.
I sit down at the head of the table, kicking Abel out of the comfortable chair, and pull my school cart closer so that I can be supremely lazy and not have to budge to grab anything for some time.
My coffee and my hardly-drunk water glass are just beyond my perpetually half-filled-out homeschool planner, just within the reach of kid binders which are shoved and pivoted at unexpected times just so that near-spills can occur often and gasp-inducingly.
Toni begins her morning pilgrimage from the living room, crawling toward me through the detritus on the kitchen floor crying piteously and assailing my fragile eardrums, which have already been under attack for some time by four other children who are simultaneously asking me to read them the instructions on their Little People workbook, correct their paragraph on Desert Tarantulas, explain why 4,569 x 5, to their reckoning, equals 5,678,978,875 and why would that be because they did it all right! and whether they can skip cleaning their (filthy) room today, just for once.
Oh, the eardrums. They're actually physically quivering under this auditory assault.
We are loving our writing class.
My kindergarten scholar loves her new workbooks and her pencil case.
I feel lucky to be drawing a model of a cell with two actually interested kids.(We love the Golgi bodies especially. Their ridiculous name and curved pancake appearance makes them easy to appreciate.)
My house looks like a picture from Worse Homes and Gardens; the fridge is a masterpiece of randomly placed greasy handprints, my faux leather couches are wearing at an exponential rate, every horizontal and vertical surface in this place is covered with germs, grease, crumbs, and spiders caught guiltily wrapping up their latest kill.
Somewhat tidy but always filthy and beginning to show its age and its many inhabitants.
The dishes and the laundry are never done. I tidy the homeschool room and kitchen after all of school and breakfast and lunch are done and the next snacky kid undoes the whole thing in an effort of admirable catastrophic efficiency.
Yesterday I was discouraged enough to moan all date long about this to Jarret; today I feel positively positive, as the sunshine warms my arm through the open patio door and the sound of kids playing somewhere outside wafts in with a bit of coolness, a fly, and a grasshopper or two.
I'm in the middle of For the Love, by Jen Hatmaker, and it's having a nice, gracious effect on my soul right now. Our houses and kids and ourselves don't have to be perfect! Duh! How much of my life is frequently ruined by forgetting this pivotal truth? Seriously. None of this is that huge of a deal.

We're a dynamic company specialising in synthetic turf and multi-use games areas. Our aim is to create engaging areas for play and to open up sporting opportunities for all. Our business began by creating golf putting greens, but we've expanded over the past 10 years, and we now provide football pitches, rugby training pitches, and multi-use games areas for schools and other sporting facilities internationally.
Our experience and knowledge allows us to tackle each project practically and efficiently, an approach which, over the years, has led to the development of long-standing relationships with a number of leading sports businesses.
Move quickly from concept to kick-about PlayPitch creates sporting opportunity.
Enabling people to play their sport, or simply to just play. As experts in synthetic turf and multi-use games areas, 'play' is at the core of what we provide. Our team can work with you to create engaging and inspiring areas for all to enjoy.
"PlayPitch work with a passion and dedication to delivering a great end product for their customers. I would use them again without hesitation." Mr Anthony Gollings, Director of Finance & Support Services at St Thomas More RC Academy.
Our Products
MultiGame - the truly versatile pitch solution for schools
Multigame from Playpitch is a multi-use games area that makes year-round outdoor play a possibility. A Multigame pitch is safe for play in all-weather conditions and is available in a variety of sizes and designs, depending on purpose and budget. A Multigame pitch can make a huge difference to a child's life, by creating a stimulating play area for them to enjoy at school, and improving the quality and quantity of sporting opportunity the school can offer.
PlayPitch Football
Whether it's a technical area or full-size 3G sports pitch, synthetic turf and our unique panel base system can be used to create a durable and safe all-weather solution for training, playing and coaching. Designed to replicate the playing characteristics of natural grass football fields, artificial playing surfaces are a low-maintenance, cost-effective alternative, offering a high volume of play. Using synthetic turf means less maintenance and therefore less cost. They allow a much higher facilities use, allowing you to enjoy the world's most loved sport year-round.
PlayPitch Golf
From putting greens and tee lines to driving range targets, bunkers and mini-golf courses, the high-quality synthetic turf we install has an incredibly realistic play-ability, without the need for regular maintenance. The high standard of installation and quality of synthetic turf allows players to enjoy the sport all year-round, without fear of damaging the surface or playing characteristics. The increase in durability in comparison with natural turf allows a higher intensity of use meaning the course is less likely to be closed due to adverse weather or poor play-ability.
PlayPitch Rugby
We create sustainable, high-tech training areas for rugby play at all levels which maximise player performance. They can be a variety of sizes to cover practicing scrums, tackles, drills and full gameplay. Making year-round training a possibility, our artificial rugby pitches can reduce match cancellations, and require much less maintenance than traditional grounds. The turf installed is a level of quality designed to cope with a higher level of impact, meaning it can withstand daily use and is safe for the sport. As the panel system absorbs impacts more than real turf, the likelihood of injury is reduced. Installation is quick, applicable for funding and completely tailored to what you want.
